It's the season three sendoff you didn't know you needed. Rachel and Dale bring the laughs and the truth bombs as they dive into parenting teens who definitely lie, why Ring doorbell footage is better than reality TV, and what happens when hospitals start acting like used car lots. (Spoiler: it involves bargaining for surgery like it's a Black Friday sale.)Also on tap? A brutally honest roast session turning exes into brand metaphors, a debate over the most iconic celebrity siblings, and plenty of chaotic commentary along the way. It's heartfelt, hysterical, and hilariously off the rails—just how we like it.

And how do you make sure yours is good?   In today's episode, hosts Donald Miller and Kyle Reed break down the art and science of naming and tagline creation, using the podcast app Snipd as a case study. They explore how a name that sounds clever can still confuse your audience, and why instant clarity always beats creativity. You'll hear a practical breakdown of how to avoid the “curse of knowledge,” how to test if your name really works, and what makes a tagline stick in someone's brain.

In this episode, Chris Davey discusses his journey in e-commerce, the growth of his networking event at the Canton Fair, and insights into navigating the complexities of sourcing from China. We share our experiences about the safety concerns in China, travel challenges, and the importance of thorough research when attending trade shows.    We also talk about the networking opportunities going to China provides for Amazon sellers. We delve into the intricacies of product sourcing and development in the e-commerce space, particularly focusing on the advantages of Chinese manufacturing. We discuss strategies for identifying niche markets, the importance of building strong relationships with suppliers, and the rapid product development process that allows sellers to capitalize on emerging trends. The conversation also highlights the significance of differentiation in a competitive market and the benefits of being a first mover. The Big Takeaway Chris's product sourcing strategy involves developing accessories for popular products. The Canton Fair is divided into three phases, each focusing on different product categories. Networking is a key benefit of attending the Canton Fair. Post-COVID, there are fewer American attendees at the Canton Fair. Visa regulations for entering China can be complex and vary by nationality. Chris emphasizes how important of visiting suppliers' factories in China. Attendees should plan for at least 10 days to fully experience the Canton Fair. Designing accessories around popular products is effective. Predictive keyword popularity can lead to successful products. Niche markets can provide significant opportunities. Building relationships with factories is crucial for success. Rapid product development is key to staying competitive. Differentiation is essential in a crowded market. First-mover advantage can lead to increased sales. Networking events like FBA for You foster community among sellers.

Your brand name isn't just a name: it's your gateway to capital, credibility, and growth! From culture shock to capital gains, your brand could be the key to unlocking major opportunities or keeping you stuck in the hustle. In this masterclass episode Part 2 with branding expert Evante Daniels, we break down the branding science Black businesses need to succeed!We dive deep into:Why your brand name can be the difference between getting funded or forgottenThe two ways to create demand (and why most fail)How to position your brand for growth without losing cultural authenticityThe branding mistakes that cost Black businesses capital and credibilityThe power of strategic naming, perception, and Cultural IP in breaking business barriersThink about how Beyoncé built an empire, how Nike's branding made them legendary, and how companies like Apple and Adidas have mastered the art of brand perception.

In this episode, Emma and David dive into the gut punch of losing a long-time client right before Thanksgiving. After saving them a jaw-dropping $85 million, the client still jumped ship, swayed by a new exec chasing the clout of a big-name broker. The conversation cuts into the disconnect between what employers think their employees want and what they actually need in healthcare. Emma and David don't hold back their frustration with the industry's obsession with flashy brands and so-called "free" services—distractions that mask skyrocketing costs and subpar care. Now stepping into a consulting role with the client, they hammer home the critical need for transparency and bold leadership from employer groups.The episode wraps with a direct challenge to employers: it's time to rethink your health insurance strategy and the brokers you're trusting with it. TIMESTAMPS:[01:15] Losing a major client and reevaluating their decision-making process.[04:08] Concerns about the client transitioning to a traditional broker.[12:00] The compensation structure for traditional brokers.[20:04] The potential resistance from large brokerage firms toward greater transparency.[27:20] Growing public dissatisfaction with large health insurance companies and the increasing shift away from traditional insurance models.QUOTES: "What's of the greater value, the $85 million or the couple hundred thousand dollars worth of free stuff you get every year?" -David Contorno"We have convinced employers that our value is not on what we can do to control healthcare costs; our value is on all the things that we put around that." -David Contorno"The perception of having a brand name really is more important than the value of not, and truly, if you are paying attention to the American public's reaction... they do not want big health insurance."- Emma FoxSOCIAL MEDIA LINKSDavid ContornoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dcontorno/Emma FoxLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmamariefox/WEBSITEE-Powered Benefits: https://www.epoweredbenefits.com/Emma Fox: https://emmamariefox.com/ Mixed & Edited by Next Day Podcastinfo@nextdaypodcast.com

12 - Dom asks the question “What do you want to see from the candidates in the debate?” We play audio from Kellyanne Conway refuting false abortion claims from Jose Aristimuno and Bernie Sanders calling out Kamala for dropping her left-wing policies. 1205 - Side question: What is a name-brand item that you know is better than the rest of its competitors? 1215 - Why does Kamala Harris and the left want to tax your tips? How will this affect the elite waiters and bartenders who pull in over 75K a year? 1230 - Continuing on Kamala's plan to tax tips. 1245 - Andrew C. McCarthy, columnist for National Review and Fox News personality, joins the program. What is Andy's reaction to Judge Marchan's decision to postpone Trump's sentencing to after the election? Shifting to the case Jack Smith is making against Trump, while he can't get anyone to pick up his case for trial, he can keep leaking info about it. So his next best course of action is asking the Supreme Court if there are any faults in the Presidential Immunity claims and going after those. When will we see Andy on Fox again? And the Mets? 1 - Promoting an upcoming event. The National FOP has endorsed President Trump. Left-wing outlets are questioning why. How much more do we need to demonize mail-in balloting when we have made a concerted effort to make sure Republicans are taking advantage of all alternate voting options? 110 - Who will be at the debate? 120 - Don't mess with South Philly. Still no arrests for the fake Kamala posters. We welcome back Joe from South Philly and now Leighann Savloff, two Philadelphians who have gone viral for their reactions to left-wing lunacy. Joe explains how a bus will be taking whoever is willing and able to support Trump, and you can sign up on the Trump Force 47 to join fellow like minded individuals at a debate rally. 130 - Dom then moves to the Springfield, Ohio controversy where Haitians and other immigrant groups are clashing culturally with American values. For example: eating escaped household pets. 140 - Returning to the Springfield, Ohio news by playing something JD Vance had said months ago about this very migrant issue. We also play audio from an exasperated woman who may have no choice but to move. 145 - How will the height difference between Trump and Kamala play to voters? 150 - Your calls regarding Haitian migrants overrunning a caller's hometown. 2 - We continue on with more audio from the Springfield, Ohio council meeting where one citizen details the behaviors of the Haitians, including the decapitations and eating of ducks. More calls. 215 - Dom's Money Melody 220 - Esteemed Lawyer Alina Habba joins the program. Turns out she was late because she was talking strategy with President Trump. The two discuss the decision from Judge Marchan to postpone the trial until after the election. Alina argues it is unfair and unconstitutional to have essentially one person overseeing our justice department. Will we see Alina in Dinesh d'souza's upcoming film? Now that Jack Smith has gotten what he wanted, will he continue to pursue January 6th. 225 - Who will be in the Spin Room? 240 - Kamala has no self-awareness when discussing politics at a very partisan spice shop. 250 - Lightning Round!

Countdown with Keith Olbermann

SERIES 3 EPISODE 18: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has doubled down on his defiling of Arlington National Cemetery. Title 32, Part 553, Subpart C: Memorial Services and Ceremonies at Army National Military Ceremonies will not include partisan political activities. Trump's team exploited a memorial service at Arlington on Monday, broke the law by privately photographing and filming it, physically assaulted Arlington National Cemetery staff who asked him to stop, he gave a thumbs up and smiled idiotically while literally standing on the graves of dead U-S military heroes, and now they have turned it into an online campaign advertisement – by definition, a partisan political activity. This could've been trivial. It could've been “there was a miscommunication.” Not even an apology – like anybody in the Trump campaign were human enough, or honest enough, or RESPECTFUL OF OUR WAR DEAD ENOUGH to apologize. Just “misunderstanding.” No. They blamed the Cemetery staffer, they blamed the media, they blamed Vice President Harris for not being there to commemorate the sad anniversary of deaths in Afghanistan – the commemoration Trump has illegally turned into a campaign AD – the commemoration Trump skipped last year and the year before. Because to Trump, and to this robot JV Vance, those buried AT Arlington are just another product, just another SELL, just another gimmick, just another BRAND NAME. And they got the brand name wrong. Trump thug Chris LaCivita wrote that Arlington "most hollowed" ground. Corrupted news outlets like The New York Times covered for it by claiming he wrote "hallowed." Hallowed, is Arlington. Hollowed, is Trump's brain. TRUMP IS NOW MORE DANGEROUS THAN EVER. Another new round of polls underscores: he's losing, and dragging down the down-ballot MAGA GOP: a total swing in four states of 25 points to Harris. She leads by one in Arizona, two in Georgia and Nevada, and has cut it to one in North Carolina. The Fox poll in Arizona scores the Senate as Ruben Gallego 56, Kari Lake 41. How is Kari lake going to be able to afford to buy 900 more camera filters THIS late in the race? The Fox poll in North Carolina scores the Governor's race as Josh Stein 54 Mark Robinson 43. The Fox poll in Nevada scores the Senate race as Jacky Rosen 55 Sam Brown 41.  TO LEAVEN THE MOOD A LITTLE: A comedian named Dan Wilbur has done a spot-on impression of JD Vance trying to be a human for 9 minutes at a donut shop. It's better if you go watch it. It's not bad if you listen to it here. B-Block (25:31) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Texas political hitman Ken Paxton sends nine armed troops to 87-year old Democratic woman's home because she registered voters. CNN/Gary Tuchman "Uncommitted Voter" scandal worsens: the guy is now selling t-shirts. And asked about phones for kids during emergencies at school Jesse The Idiot Watters thinks that means HIS emergency when he has to call them in math class. C-Block (36:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I was talking about Bill Clinton yesterday and I think it's time to tell the entire story of how NBC tried to blackmail me into NOT quitting the Clinton-Lewinsky MSNBC show in 1998 because it made them too much money. An emissary from then NBC News President Andy Lack threatened to sue me and get me blacklisted from television AND make sure my parents wound up homeless.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
