From English major to billion-dollar entrepreneur, Lindsay Kaplan shares how her creativity, rebellious spirit, and refusal to follow the rules led her to co-found Chief, the premier network for executive women.Lindsay's journey is anything but traditional. She began her career with dreams of writing novels, moved into publishing and magazines, and then found herself on the cutting edge of digital marketing during the early days of Facebook and Foursquare. Her storytelling expertise eventually brought her to Casper, where she became a founding team member, built global campaigns, and helped turn a mattress startup into a cultural phenomenon. But it was her partnership with Carolyn Childers that sparked her biggest leap, co-founding Chief, now a billion-dollar company reshaping what leadership looks like for women at the VP and C-suite levels.In our conversation, Lindsay opened up about the pivotal moments that shaped her leadership path, from building credibility as a nontraditional founder, to navigating the challenges of co-founding a VC-backed company, to realizing when it was time to step into a board role to protect her own health and longevity. She emphasizes the importance of finding co-founders who share your values, the realities of burnout that often accompany leadership, and why flexibility, not perks, is the true key to retaining women in executive roles.What stands out most about Lindsay is her deep commitment to creating spaces where women leaders can both give and receive mentorship. Chief was built on the belief that even the most senior leaders need support, and Lindsay's story is a powerful reminder that community is not a luxury — it's a necessity. Listeners will walk away inspired by her candid reflections on career evolution, her practical wisdom on building and scaling companies, and her fierce advocacy for women at the top of their fields.This is an episode you won't want to miss! Tune in and hear Lindsay's incredible story of creativity, resilience, and leadership redefined.Chapters

A little-known trade loophole cost American jobs and put families at risk — until a coalition fought back. Kim Glas, president & CEO of the National Council of Textile Organizations, discusses how a coalition of labor, manufacturers, retailers and families worked together to close the de minimis loophole. Kim explains how Chinese e-commerce giants exploited this U.S law to flood the U.S. with untaxed and uninspected goods, including products made with forced labor, unsafe merchandise, and fentanyl shipments into the country. Kim breaks down where the law now stands and how de minimis reform protects American workers, consumers, and national security.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In recent days, Justin Bieber has made headlines for a string of developments that signal his growing dominance as both a musical and business force. The biggest news is his $10 million personal deal to headline Coachella in April 2026, negotiated directly with Goldenvoice and bypassing an agent—a rare move for an artist of his stature, as reported by Rolling Stone and Netflix Junkie. Bieber will receive $5 million for each weekend, making him one of the top-paid Coachella headliners ever, and representing "a groundbreaking move for a headliner" according to insiders. His wife, Hailey Bieber, posted her support on Instagram Story with the exuberant tag “BIEBERCHELLA!!!!!!!!! :)” following the announcement, adding a personal touch to the milestone.On the music front, Bieber's seventh studio album “Swag”—released just two months ago—stormed back into the Billboard Top 10 after dropping an expanded deluxe edition, “Swag II.” The expanded album ballooned to 44 songs, over two hours of new Bieber music, riding streaming era trends, and “thanks to fans streaming all those new songs, the album leaps from No. 17 to No. 4” according to NPR. “DAISIES,” the lead single, remains in the top ten, and the new song “SPEED DEMON” debuted on this week's Hot 100 singles chart. However, reviews are mixed: The Observer called “Swag II” “underwhelming” and criticized its new sound, but did point out “SPEED DEMON” and “EYE CANDY”—a tribute to Hailey—as standout tracks. Rolling Stone described the album as “safe,” raising questions about Bieber's artistic ambitions versus commercial pressure.On the business side, Bieber's net worth has doubled in the past few years to $200 million, fueled by a combination of record sales, touring, a previous $200 million catalog sale to Hipgnosis, and brand deals. He personally severed ties with Drew House, urging fans not to associate him with the fashion brand. Meanwhile, Hailey's skincare brand Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, and Bieber continues to support Rhode through his social media platforms. In a new entrepreneurial move, Bieber partnered with Palms to launch a limited-edition cannabis line called Peaches, with some proceeds supporting criminal justice reform and charity, as reported in Vogue and BBC News.On the more casual and social side, Bieber stunned bartenders in Cambridge, Ontario, with a surprise pub visit for karaoke, followed by a coffee run with Hailey at Monogram Coffee Roasters. Local staff shared their excitement and characterized the couple as “laid-back,” and viral fan snaps spread across Instagram and TikTok, contributing to a wave of organic social media mentions.These events combined—Coachella's headline, a surge in chart success, album criticism, business shakeups, charity moves, and viral social moments—mark an era of renewed visibility and control for Bieber. Biographically, his direct Coachella deal and personal brand moves mark the most significant shifts, suggesting he's entering a new phase defined by autonomy, ambition, and a willingness to take risks both musically and entrepreneurially. Speculation about further surprise collaborations and more personal projects is circulating, but as of now official announcements remain pending.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making major headlines, both musically and personally, in recent days. NPR reports that his latest album Swag, which initially debuted at number two on the Billboard chart about two months back, is enjoying a renaissance after the surprise release of an expanded deluxe edition called Swag II. The original Swag had 21 tracks but the new version, now totaling 44 songs and clocking in at over two hours, has vaulted the album from number 17 up to the number four position on the Billboard charts. The single Daisies sits firmly in the top ten, and fresh tracks like Speed Demon have entered the Hot 100, reflecting Bieber's strategy of streaming-era supersizing. While this move is commercially successful, critical reception is mixed: Rolling Stone has called Swag II "safe" and The Observer, even from self-described Beliebers, describes the project as underwhelming with only a few standout tracks like Speed Demon and Eye Candy, the latter believed to be a tribute to his wife Hailey Bieber.On the live front, NBC Palm Springs broke the news that Bieber will headline Coachella 2025, a genuine first as a lead act after years as a guest performer. The slot, confirmed on September 15, is a lucrative move: Rolling Stone and Celebrity Net Worth both detail that Bieber negotiated his own $10 million fee for two weekends, bypassing agent fees and reaffirming his position as a savvy business operator. This comes on the heels of him stepping away from Drew House, his fashion brand, as he clarified in April: he stated on social media that Drew House no longer represents him or his family, and urged fans not to spend money on it. Meanwhile, he has been seen supporting Hailey's Rhode skincare line, which was acquired for $1 billion by e.l.f. Beauty in May.On September 10, as shown on CTV News, Justin surprised staff at a local Cambridge pub in Ontario with a laid-back karaoke session, singing tracks from Swag II and generally enjoying a low-key night out. The following day he and Hailey popped into a local coffee shop, where staff described the couple as friendly and unassuming, with fans and baristas capturing candid moments for Instagram. Publicly, Hailey has been vocally supportive, celebrating her husband's Coachella headliner status with the now-viral "Bieberchella" Instagram story, while also sharing family updates and their celebration of young son Jack's first birthday in August.Speculation has been minimal and overshadowed by these verifiable events. The sum of recent days is a narrative of career resurgence, critical scrutiny, business maneuvering, personal milestones, and a comfortable public presence, all signaling a new phase in Bieber's ongoing evolution as both artist and celebrity.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Perry Belcher is a digital marketing icon, co-founder of DigitalMarketer and the Traffic & Conversion Summit, and behind over $1 billion in sales across companies and clients. With four successful exits, multiple industry-changing brands, and world-renowned copywriting and growth systems, Perry has built, lost, and rebuilt empires—always focused on actionable results, rapid pivots, and high-leverage business creation. On this episode we talk about: Perry's journey from hustling as a kid in Kentucky to legendary exits—and colossal setbacks How he built and lost fortunes in retail, manufacturing, e-commerce, and supplements The real difference between entrepreneurs who scale and those who stall: time management and ruthless revenue focus Frameworks for explosive growth—the power of rebranding, product/market fit, and “loop diversity” versus static funnels Tactical advice on building multiple income streams and knowing when (and how) to pivot or scale Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Most business owners spend too much time on details that don't generate revenue—Perry's success comes from spending 80% on sales and growth, 20% on everything else.2.  “Loop diversity”—selling more products, expanding markets, and using multiple channels—can unlock exponential business growth once the foundation is proven.3.  Start lean, test, and only try to scale what works—then add offers, traffic, and markets when there's clear proof people want what you're selling. Notable Quotes “I've never met anybody that saved their way to financial freedom.” “Success isn't about what you know—it's about focusing on what actually pays.” “You need to do the things that don't scale before you scale, and fixate on revenue-driving activity above everything else.” Connect with Perry Belcher: LinkedIn: Perry Belcher https://perrybelcher.com/ Twitter/X: @perrybelcher ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Robert shares how his entrepreneurial roots, experience at Axia NetMedia, and first-hand frustrations with the traditional real estate model led him to launch Bōde. Listeners will hear how the platform empowers buyers and sellers to cut out unnecessary middlemen, save thousands in fees, and take back control of one of life's biggest financial decisions.This episode dives deep into the structural problems of real estate, from broken incentives to outdated processes, and how modernization and technology can reshape the market for the better.

What could a Swiss Army officer possibly teach you about building and selling companies worth hundreds of millions? Turns out – everything. Today's guest, Sam Goodner, took the discipline and precision he learned in the Swiss Army and applied it to entrepreneurship.  He founded Catapult Systems, scaled it through two major recessions, and eventually sold it after 20 years. Later, he helped take Flash Parking from a stuck $3M startup to $100M in revenue and a billion-dollar valuation. Now a mentor at Capital Factory and author of Like Clockwork: Run Your Business with Swiss Army Precision, Sam distills 30 years of lessons into practical principles that help entrepreneurs scale businesses that thrive without them. In this episode, Sam shares why scaling always begins with a sales playbook, how “cloud conversion therapy” won over 100% of skeptical customers, and why annual contingency planning can make your company recession-proof. He also breaks down what it really takes to prepare for a sale years in advance and how unforgettable first-day employee experiences can shape culture for decades. If you're ready to scale with Swiss Army precision and build a company that runs without you, tune in now.  — This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark.  — Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 00:02:03 Running a business like clockwork in practice 00:17:00 Curated client experiences turned skeptics into loyal customers 00:25:33 Starting Catapult Systems 00:28:54 Recession-proofing strategies 00:33:49 Separate teams allow multiple ventures under one umbrella 00:38:54 Selling businesses: Define your number and prepare years before exit 00:43:07 Strong EBITDA and audited records maximize company valuation 00:48:17 Choosing investment bankers 00:53:45 “Like Clockwork: Run Your Business With Swiss Army Precision” 00:59:54 First-day experiences build culture and long-term loyalty 01:01:35 Advice to young entrepreneurs 01:05:09 Wrapup — Additional Resources:
