As a special end of summer treat, we're sharing one of our Patreon-exclusive episodes. It's Base/Camp, where we talk about movies that are seemingly too wild, weird, or way under our radar to make it on Punch Mountain, but maybe HARD TICKET TO HAWAII has what it takes. Director Andy Sidaris brings his trademark three Bs (babes, bombs, and bad dialogue) to a somehow complicated movie about drug smuggling that also involves a "contaminated" snake.

Visibility used to be the whole game. Now there are a thousand people in your category producing content, and the ones getting booked aren't the loudest — they're the ones clients, media, and AI recognize as the expert.That's a positioning problem, not a marketing problem. And most people never solve it because they're busy optimizing tactics instead of building the asset underneath them: a brand story that makes the choice obvious.In this episode, you'll see the live presentation Randy presented for the National Speakers Association — an interactive workshop on how to build a brand that helps you stand out, get discovered, and get booked at higher fees.In this session you'll learn how to:- Craft a brand story that separates you from everyone selling the same thing- Increase your discoverability with both humans and AI search- Align your message, media, and market so opportunities come to you- Position yourself to command higher fees without apologizing for themThings that Randy mentioned in this video:Blog 1 - https://randygage.com/stop-branding-like-youre-in-the-witness-protection-program/Blog 1 - https://randygage.com/why-no-one-crosses-the-street-for-you/Demo Video ► https://youtu.be/rRs6GiWWot0How to Build a Personal Brand People Can't Ignore ► https://youtu.be/0BWj4PLUeykThe Last Level of Branding ► https://youtu.be/tByHetPUOFI Who is This Guy?Randy isn't some influencer who listened to a couple podcasts and started posting hot takes.

Randy has authored 16 bestselling books, translated into 25+languages, including his latest—Wealth Without Apology—and spoken to more than 2 million people across 50 countries. He's been inducted into both the Speaker Hall of Fame and Direct Selling Hall of Fame.But none of that is why people follow him. They follow him because he calls BS…and says what most people are too afraid to admit. When he's not rocking the stage or building his next project, you'll probably find him coaching a softball team somewhere.Connect with Randy:Instagram: randy_gage Twitter: randy_gage Facebook: randygage

What if the line between neuroscience and the paranormal is far thinner than we've been taught to believe? In this episode of the Align Podcast, Mayim Bialik, PhD neuroscientist, actor, author, and host of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, explores where science, mysticism, trauma, and consciousness intersect. She and Aaron discuss remote viewing, altered perception, nervous system regulation, spirituality, and nature, while examining how modern life shapes our biology and how practices that restore coherence may help us reconnect with ourselves, each other, and something greater.

There are certain things you learn as a kid that you don't realize are propaganda until you're old enough to have your BS detector calibrated. I grew up believing America was the good guy. Not "generally the good guy." I mean, if America did something, there was probably a pretty good reason. Government wasn't perfect, but surely there were certain things the United States government simply would not do. They wouldn't experiment on citizens. They wouldn't manipulate an entire population. They wouldn't manufacture narratives. They wouldn't use the media to shape public opinion. They certainly wouldn't lie to you and then tell you the lie was necessary for your own protection. Then you grow up. You read history. And eventually you have that wonderful moment where you realize: "Wait a minute. Everybody's been lying to everybody." It's a tremendous educational experience. It's also why I'm skeptical when somebody tells me, "There's nothing to see here." Because historically, "nothing to see here" has been one of the most successful marketing campaigns ever created. And that's what I want to talk about today. Propaganda. Because we've been taught to think propaganda is some obvious Soviet poster with a heroic worker staring into the distance while holding a hammer the size of a Buick. But modern propaganda is much more sophisticated. Modern propaganda doesn't necessarily tell you what to believe. Sometimes it tells you what you're not allowed to question. That's much more effective. Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I don't think moms need another self care checklist. I think we need permission to admit we're exhausted.In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between neglecting ourselves and simply admitting that we're tired. I'm reminding us that we can love our families deeply and still need a break, be grateful and overwhelmed, and feel incredibly fulfilled and completely exhausted all at the same time.Maybe taking care of ourselves sometimes means doing something for ourselves. And maybe sometimes it means doing less. I'm giving myself, and you, permission to stop treating exhaustion like a personal failure.Because you don't have to earn rest. ❤️

In Episode 53 of The League, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid discuss how the solar industry is becoming more complex as policy uncertainty, storage, cybersecurity, and grid constraints reshape project development. They look at growing concerns around inverter supply chains and national security, as well as the impact of changing rules on financing and project timelines. The conversation also covers Massachusetts' latest energy storage solicitation and the rising costs of permitting, interconnection, and network upgrades. They also discuss ERCOT's massive queue of large-load applications driven by data centers and the increasing scrutiny around grid and resource impacts. The episode highlights why success in clean energy now requires understanding far more than just solar panels.

In this episode, Axel sits down with Zach Hoereth — real estate investor, operator of Midwest Storage, and one of the more entertaining (and polarizing) voices on real estate Instagram — for a genuinely unfiltered conversation about what actually works in this business.He brings a uniquely blunt, been-there perspective on direct-to-seller acquisitions, the limits of AI and technology in a relationship-driven business, and why chasing unit count and AUM is one of the most overrated status games in real estate investing.This episode is essential listening for any investor who wants a no-BS look at what it actually takes to source deals, build a lean operation, and avoid the traps that sideline so many people who get into this business.Join us as we dive into:Zach's path from a college leasing hustle to buying his first $20–30K house in Indianapolis in 2018, and how that snowballed into today's business.How Zach's operation is structured: direct-to-seller mail feeding wholesaling and flipping, which funds acquisitions of small multifamily, single-family rentals, and self-storage — all without outside equity to date.Why "just buying rentals" isn't a wealth strategy — cash flow keeps you in the game, but equity and capital events are what actually move the needle.Why AI and chatbots can't fix a bad reputation or replace the human-to-human trust that wins deals, retains tenants, and keeps LPs engaged.The "70 dudes who partnered on a fourplex" problem — why unit count and AUM get wildly overrated as status symbols, and why doing a few deals solo teaches more than riding shotgun on a syndication.The three things you actually need to start doing direct-to-seller deals: a CRM, a targeted list (tools like PropStream and Reonomy), and a mail houseHow to make aggressive offers respectfully, and why "running toward the confrontation" beats avoiding it.The three Ds of distress — death, divorce, and drama — and how to quickly identify which sellers are actually motivated versus wasting your time.Why a seller's real pain point is often bigger (and weirder) than investors assume, and why being present when they decide to sell matters more than trying to convince them.Connect with Zach Hoereth:Follow him on InstagramAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

No script, no safe direction, and absolutely no guarantee where the conversation is going. The crew kicks things off with WNBA betting, Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and the increasingly bizarre trend of objects getting thrown onto basketball courts. From there, things quickly go off the rails with a discussion about Fast & Furious 11, Paul Walker, whether Tupac could somehow show up in the franchise, and just how far Hollywood can stretch a movie series before reality no longer matters. The conversation turns to politics, government spending, Washington D.C., American priorities, foreign policy, the midterm elections, beef recalls, wild horses, fake meat, and trying to figure out exactly what we're eating anymore. Mason also introduces the crew to MC Type's "Mansplaining," which leads into Ju Unit's massive archive of old songs, unfinished tracks, music videos, Bandcamp plans, and memories from the early days of making ridiculous videos. Later, the guys get into wine, steaks, Leonardo DiCaprio movies, Shutter Island, Secret Window, Inception, The Basketball Diaries, Bruce Lee movies, Neuralink, universal translators, AI, microplastics, The Walking Dead, Mitch McConnell, Snowfall, and why the first episode of Black Mirror is one hell of an introduction to a television series. It's sports, movies, music, technology, politics, conspiracy talk, inappropriate jokes, and completely unpredictable conversation—the way The Mason and Friends Show has been doing it for 1,057 episodes.

Trump is not hiding the ball. He is telegraphing, in plain sight, that his number one strategic priority is dismantling the next election — because free and fair voting is the one circuit breaker his power can't survive. This episode drills into the emerging steal-the-midterms playbook aimed squarely at Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, the hypocrisy of a president attacking mail-in voting while mailing in his own Florida ballot, and why Ossoff and Kelly punching back hard is the template every serious candidate needs to copy. From there the conversation widens out to the crypto-bro press conference at a White House that is quite literally open for business, the tapered flagpoles and bomb-bunker cocktail bar while Americans get crushed on gas, groceries, and rent, the nepotism spectacle in South Carolina and a genuine call for Stephen Colbert to come home and run, and the AOC-Markey-Moulton fight in Massachusetts that will test whether progressives can still out-organize the establishment. It's a no-BS scan of a rigged two-party system where one side is stealing the country in broad daylight and the other keeps eating its own. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Happy Kobe Day to all who celebrate! The show kicked off with Ally sharing that she had a 'snoregasm' last night, meaning she had an orgasm in her sleep. All that pregnancy bloodflow has its perks! Vanessa was all out of sorts this morning as she dealt with a power outage last night. She seems to think spending the evening with a flashlight and a spray bottle should count as camping for her Funner Summer challenge. This is BS, right? We did a round of Never Have I Ever for tickets to our Endless Summer Kegger. We heard from people who had shockingly never done very basic things like ride a bicycle, eat chipotle, get drunk or travel on an airplane. The clear winner was a guy named Joseph who had never been to a concert OR a bar because he's been in prison for the last 12 years. If you see him at the kegger, help him have the best night of his life! Plus some fascinating new guidelines around cheating that had us all in a heated debate: is it cheating to send someone a heart emoji?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how we search for information, make decisions, and even seek mental health support. But can AI therapy safely help people living with bipolar disorder? In this episode, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington explore the potential benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence for bipolar management. They discuss why people may trust AI more than doctors or therapists, what can happen when an AI chatbot validates thoughts that should instead raise a red flag, and whether AI can recognize dangerous symptoms of mania, depression, psychosis, or suicidality.

What if some of the people you see as competitors could actually help you grow your property management business? In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, Jason and Sarah Hull talk about collaboration over competition and why a scarcity mindset can cause property management business owners to overlook opportunities sitting right in front of them. They break down why clients aren't necessarily choosing a property manager because of a secret strategy, service, or sales pitch, and why trying to protect everything you do from your competitors may be doing more harm than good. If you've been treating the property managers around you strictly as competition, this episode may change the way you look at them. You'll Learn [00:00] Introduction and industry overview [00:58] False scarcity and competition myths [03:19] Clients choose you for your uniqueness, not secret sauce [05:16] The industry benefits from collaboration, not isolation [06:15] Debunking false assumptions about growth and scarcity [08:39] Lead generation is easier than perceived [09:06] The abundance of property management opportunities [11:51] Overcoming fear and false evidence [12:52] Collaboration over competition explained [16:16] The neighbor strategy for referrals Quotables "They work with you because they like you. Because you're unique, because you are uniquely you." — Sarah Hull  "People don't want to buy property management. They want to buy you." — Jason Hull "Some of your neighbors could become one of your best friends and best assets." — Jason Hull Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason Hull (00:00) All right, five, four, three, two, one. Hey everybody, I'm Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow. This is Sarah Hull, owner of DoorGro and the COO. We are the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry.   At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now let's get into the show. All right, so today we're going to be talking about collaboration over competition in the property management industry. And the reason for this is because a lot of you are dealing with a lot of false scarcity.   false competition and you're not leveraging some of the people that could be feeding you business, maybe even in your own neighborhood. And so let's get into this. All right, let's talk about it. So if you've ever thought, no, I don't want my competitors   registers to know about doorgrow. I don't want them to work with door grow. I only want to do this or I only want to have the best stuff or I only want to do, you know, the whatever strategy or you know, I want all the connections. And I think a lot of times that's really based in a a scarcity mindset and in a fear-based mindset. Yeah. If you find something that's good and then you go, I'm gonna keep this little secret to myself. I I don't want to tell anyone else about it.   I only want it for me. And maybe it's a website or maybe it's, you know, a special pricing tool, or maybe it's your sales process, or, you know, maybe it's a referral source. Maybe it's what do they call it at KFC? Like the the secret ingredients. Eleven secret eleven herbs and spices. Like I can't I can't let anybody else know what I do or how I do it or why. I don't want them to know anything about me. Then a lot of times I I know it feels like hey, I'm protecting   my assets and I'm protecting my my business and I'm making sure that you know not everyone can copy me. And what it usually boils down to though is A property management is just inherently not that different. Like what one property manager does is really similar to what another property manager does. Are there slight nuances and differences between two companies? Yes, of course there are. How they do things is different.   Of course. But the product itself, what you're actually doing, is not very different from company to company to company. So you're really not saving yourself what you think like what you think you're doing is, I'm not telling anybody. I'm keeping this to myself. I don't want anyone to copy me. It it's it's all the same product. And usually people don't decide to work with you because you have the secret sauce.   They work with you because they like you. Because you're unique, because you are uniquely you. So your competitor and you might do the exact same thing in the exact same area, in the exact same market, targeting the exact same properties and clients. You do everything the same. Your pricing might be the same, the website might look similar, your sales pitches often pretty similar. That's why when you call property management companies, you kind of have deja vu and you hear the same thing again and again and again and again.   Unless you talk with one of our clients and then the conversation sounds slightly different. But it's it's all it all boils down to the same thing. And people aren't working with you because you said the magic words like, they said this one thing and now I have to work with them because no other company does that. No other company is like that. That usually is not the case. Because the product and the service is what it is. It's it's the same. But you're different.   And they like you. And that's why someone will work with you. And guess what? Your competitors probably unless unless you're maybe really mean to them, your competitors probably like you too as a person. They, you know, there's probably maybe some friendly competition there. But they probably like you too. And if you got to know them, you might find that you like them as well. And I think that   looking at this as a collaboration instead of no, it's it's all me, it has to be me, I'm the only one, I'm the best one, and nobody else in this market, everybody else is like this or like that. I'm the only one. Well, all right. I I just don't know how that really serves the industry. I don't know how that really serves the community. Well let's take a step back because I think a lot of business owners   And until your own basic needs are met, you don't care about the community. Let's be real. Like if you're you and your family are hungry and starving, you need money, you need to pay rent, you need to pay your bills, you you want to get your business going. You don't care about the community. You don't care about the industry. You care about yourself, which is fine. So let me help you see how you by being selfish and looking at yourself, you have probably some false assumptions that are causing you to not grow. And that's why you're in this that that   That camp and why you're struggling. So, first of all, like Sarah said, you may have this false scarcity mindset. So, first of all, there is, let's let's kill some assumptions. First, why do you have the assumption that there's a it's hard to grow your business? Or the assumption that there's there's only a small amount of business to go around, or the false assumption that maybe it's difficult to grow your property management business.   What if none of this was even true? These are all false assumptions you have based on bad data and bad information because you've had bad ideas or bad strategy. So, first of all, most property management companies suck in most markets. Why do they suck? Because they're stuck in a lot of this bad mindset stuff. They didn't wake up in the morning saying, I want to start a bad business today. And if you're struggling and customer service is kind of, you know, falling apart, or you've got clients leaving, or people are frustrated.   Or you're super stressed out and you're not loving your business, you didn't wake up in the morning one day and say, This is, I want to start a crappy business today. But that's the default of where you end up when you make certain decisions with certain assumptions because you have blind spots. So let's see if we can destroy a few blind spots for you right now. First, is property management, does everybody sell the same thing? Like Sarah said, no, because why? Property management isn't even the product that people want to buy from you.   They're the right owners that you want. So they're looking for a property management business owner they can partner with that they trust to take over their property. They're not just looking for the cheapest person. But when you commoditize yourself, so by having the wrong offer, you turn yourself into a commodity. You're now and because you're selling the wrong product. And if you're selling the wrong product to the wrong audience, you have the wrong offer that's optimized for the wrong people.   And so then you have the wrong clients, and then your business is really operationally expensive. Your operational costs are really high, really difficult clients to deal with because you have bad channels, the wrong channels, wrong product, wrong offer, wrong clients, right? So we, if we want to counter this and get out of the cycle of suck, one, you have to start firing bad clients. You have to start filtering the cloud clients that you bring on. You need better channels of opportunity that feed you.   Healthier business, healthier property owners, healthier clients, people that trust you, people that are not going to try to micromanage you. The operational costs are lower. They're healthier investors. And then you can sell the right product to them. And then you can have the right offer that's attractive to that type of buyer. And so then everything gets a lot easier. The other thing is Legion is hard. Let's let's attack that. Legion is not hard.   At least half of all rental properties out there are being managed by somebody that doesn't enjoy doing it or that sucks at doing it. Maybe most of them are managed by somebody that doesn't enjoy doing it because a lot of your the lot of half are probably professionally managed or less. And a lot of them are miserable or aren't even good at it. That might be you listening to this right now. And we could help you with that. But most property management companies suck. Most people.   though are not using property manager. So there's a lot of self managing people. They don't enjoy doing it. And rarely have you ever run into a vessor that says, Yeah, I'm gonna I'm doing it myself and I love it. It's my favorite thing. I love managing property. I love showing the property. I love doing inspections and leasing and maintenance coordination. They don't th it's not a hard sell.   Right. So I don't think it's hard to sell property management. I don't think it's hard to get leads. There's tons of available business out there. When scarcity happens is when your channels suck. So if you're focused on SEO, pay-per-click, like Google Ads, pay per lead, like all property management.com, social media marketing, content marketing. Here's where there's a lot of scarcity because there's very little internet or search volume.   looking for property management. And so there's a lot more scarcity there. And there are people winning at this game. But this is kind of like there's there are people winning in Vegas when they're gambling. There are winners. And you see these winners and you're like, they're winning. The lottery. They're like number one on Google. They've been there for a decade. Yeah, they're winning. And everybody else, like second place on Google, gets like a dramatically less traffic, less leads, less business. And that's   It's a hard game to play. So if you're going after Goliath and you are David, but you tr decide to do the same things, you're making really bad moves. So we've got to get you focused on better, more effective lead gen strategies where you're not do focus on digital marketing and you're able to reach these investors and owners that would love your help. They're just not looking for a property manager actively. That doesn't mean they wouldn't buy it. That doesn't mean they don't need it. That doesn't mean they would they would   like give up all that extra freedom and time that they would love to have that you could give to them. You can sell them on this. This is not hard to sell. They don't even like doing it. And you can take it off their plate. And it might even be free for them if they haven't raised rent in the last two years. You just like they might be 10% below market rate on rent. They might be dealing with mol like lots of vacancy.   If you can decrease their vacancy significantly over the course of a year, you probably could pay for your management services just by doing that. So here we are we want to destroy all these false assumptions because fear, they say that is an acronym that stands for false evidence appearing real. So if you're you're in the state of fear or in the state of false scarcity or you have the scarcity mindset.   Every decision you make from that place, from that mindset, is going to be not true or is going to be false or is going to be skewed or is going to be ineffective. And so a lot of you are making decisions from a place of scarcity, which isn't even accurate. There's tons of business out there. Tons of business. There's lots of different growth engines, lots of different strategies and vehicles you could implement on how to grow your business. If you get on a sales call with us, our team will   Give you those strategies for free. So you will be convinced we could help you and you'll know how we could help you and what we could coach you on. So reach out and set up a call with DoorGrow. We are great at this. We've been doing this for almost 18 years. So that's what I would say about that, to destroy some of those false assumptions. And so we believe in a doorgrow. We teach our clients. We believe in collaboration over competition. Right? What does that mean?   That means instead of going, I can't let my competitors know what I'm doing. I don't want to talk to my competitors. I don't want them to know what I'm doing. I would love if I knew what they were doing, but I don't want them to know what I'm doing. I don't wanna talk with them. I don't wanna work with them. I don't wanna look at them. I don't wanna have a relationship with them. I don't wanna put my pricing on my website because then they'll see it and then they'll copy me and they'll they'll do the same thing that I'm doing and they'll have the same thing because   We're the same, you know, we're doing the same thing. Yeah. And and it's that it's that fear. It's that fear and it's that scarcity and it's that well no. Yeah. There's only there's maybe two big companies or three big companies in your market and you're going, Well, I need to be one of them. So I'm I'm I'm gonna just distance myself from my competitors. And if you look at things through the lens of, hey, this is my competitor. Mm-hmm.   then it's really hard for you to want to work with or have a relationship with someone who's your competitor. So you need to be able to look at things different and realize, yeah, you might be in the same market. Yeah, you might do the same thing. Yeah, you might serve the same audience and you might have the same target and you really might have similar goals. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't collaborate. Yeah.   And the thing is, people don't want to buy property management. They want to buy you. And you're different than all of your competitors. You have a different philosophy. And hopefully you have a healthy mindset because really what they're buying from you as a partner partially is your mindset. It is your belief system. And if you are coming from a place of scarcity, you also are not going to be very attractive to the healthiest clients. You're not going to be attractive to the best investors. And if you're walking around going, why are all the owners in my market are cheap? You know what that tells me about you?   Yeah, we talk about this in our pricing secrets training and how to figure that out. Like you might be a cheap owner or a cheap O, as I call it, a cheap investor or cheap mindset person, right? So we gotta shift your mindset and that then you start attracting people like you, healthier people. All right, let's do a quick word from our sponsor. We'll get back into this. So our sponsor is second nature. We're talking about collaboration. Yeah.   He's been steamrolling me all day today. okay. Are we segueing into this? Go ahead. Do you want to do it? No, no, you take it. Go ahead. You just you do it. Well go ahead. To be fair, I pointed at it. I know. I didn't think she was gonna lead into it. Okay. Good. Speaking of collaboration and how to partner with someone who's really great so that there's a less of this   You know, scarcity and fear set. mind this fear-based mindset and how to focus on collaboration. Sometimes the people you want to partner with are also in your industry, but they're not direct competitors. Like Second Nature. So let's talk about second nature and then i after this I'm gonna tell you about the neighbor strategy, how you can y actually get neighboring property managers.   To give you business instead of thinking they're taking it from you. Okay. All right, second nature. So the resident experience is broken and it starts with the lease. Leases are getting longer and attention spans are getting shorter. The result is that residents don't read the lease, and PMs know all too well that just it's just a ticking time bomb. Second nature believes it doesn't have to be this way. Introducing resident onboarding.   So, Second Nature's new onboarding guide offers transparency, choice, and convenience to residents all while taking the work off your plate. Lease responsibilities and expectations are made clear and unskippable in a simplified digital signing flow.

So back when I did property management, this was one of the things that I actually really enjoyed doing. I like staying in my lane and not trying to expand into properties, areas and territories that I really wasn't interested in covering, but that I could cover because the right opportunity comes up. We all know how that goes. So   I was actually introduced to a property manager that was a neighboring property manager and I did not cover her area and she did not cover my area. But a lot of times we would talk with investors, both of us would talk with investors to go, hey, do you do this area? And I would go, Absolutely not, I won't touch that with a 10 foot pole. But I have someone who's great to talk with her and she will take good care of you. And she would do the same for me. And we would be able to send each other leads back and forth.   So that I could just cover the area that I was really great at covering and that I wanted to cover and she could do the same thing. And instead of then going, nope, don't cover that area, see you later, bye. Then I would go, well, I don't, but I know someone that can help you. And she's great. Let me get you connected with her. And that became a lead for her. And I got a lot of business from her. And I would send her a lot of business and it was really great. because some people would look at that and go, no, I have no time for that.   And it was a really great relationship that we were able to maintain and grow our businesses together collaboratively. Awesome. So if you you could be a vendor in this industry, you could be a property manager in this industry. If you think that your competitors are your enemies and you think that there's no way to collaborate with them, maybe you're not looking hard enough. And there are some big opportunities for deals to be had, for relationships to be created. And just like Sarah talked about the neighbor strategy.   There's we've had clients with short-term rental companies in the exact same city as long term rental company clients working with each other, feeding each other business. There might be a way to work out. maybe there's different types of properties, whatever, but some of your neighbors could become one of your best friends and best assets. All right. So if you've ever felt stuck or stagnant, you want to take your property management business to the next level.

All summer, I've been talking about one idea: that simplicity and focus are not optional.Simplicity and focus are the harder, but better, choice and the fastest path to a profitable, sustainable expert business. And they only get more relevant as your business grows.If you want a business where you are not constantly feeling behind and overwhelmed, and where your success isn't just in your bottom line, but how you live your life, you have to be able to do three things. You have to attract the right people, sell without it being a drawn-out process, and deliver in a way that is actually profitable.The No BS Business Model gives you that one clear strategy for each of these.The No BS model came from Steve and I doing everything for everyone and ending up overworked and in debt, then paring down our business to just two offers, on one platform, with a clear audience. Our simplification was born out of necessity, but it gave me incredible relief and the success I had been chasing. And now I've taught that model to thousands of expert service business owners over the last ten years. Today, I'm going to walk you through it.Sponsored by Squarespace:Free Guide to Squarespace Circle: nobsmastery.com/squarespaceTune into this episode to hear:The low-tech, low-investment strategy that consistently brings the right people through your doorThe game-changing sales process that eliminates tire kickers and hagglers and sets you up as a trusted advisorHow intensives cut the BS and let you focus on delivering your best, most valuable workHow implementing the No BS model impacts not just your business, but your whole lifeResources:Grab the first chapter of my new book Scale Solo: scalesolobook.comProgram: No BS Mastery: https://nobsmastery.com/programThe Price to Freedom Calculator™ - http://nobsmastery.com/priceGrab a copy of my book: Badass Your Brand - https://www.badassyourbrand.com/The 7 Steps to $30k Months Playbook: nobsmastery.com/playbook

She's a functional medicine practitioner nutritionist, whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, bloodwork, and women in their pause years. So join us for a very revealing conversation!

By following functional medicine's, root cause approach, Cindy healed herself. She became a nutritionist, and has been certified in functional medicine since 2008. Cindy is the founder of A Living Balance. Where her wellness practice is focused on diet and lifestyle modification to improve metabolic health, diabetes, heart disease, and to reverse the aging process by finding the root cause of chronic disease and by correcting any imbalances found within the digestive system, in hormones, or in the detoxification system.

Ever feel like your practice is pulling you in one direction and your family in another, leaving you torn, tired, and stuck in a cycle of exhaustion and frustration? In this powerful episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske shares the raw truth about the invisible gap between where you are and where you know you should be, and why it's costing you in every area of life. Dr. Buske dives into the chaos many dentists silently face, balancing the demands of a thriving practice while trying to show up fully for their families. Through candid stories, hard-earned wisdom, and no-BS coaching insights, Jeff and guest Jim expose the lies many doctors tell themselves, especially the dangerous belief that family is holding them back. Instead, they reveal how shifting your mindset and plugging into the right support can unlock balance, energy, and powerful leadership at work and at home. Whether you're leaking energy, stuck in survival mode, or striving to get your life back on track, this episode lays down the exact frameworks Jeff uses to help dentists reclaim their purpose and power. Takeaways: The lie that your family is an anchor, and how to flip it into your superpower How imbalance in one area (body, being, balance, business) infects the rest The real reason most dentists feel exhausted and overwhelmed daily Why hope is a terrible strategy for your practice and your peace of mind How intimate small-group settings can radically shift your growth and clarity "I used to believe my family was holding me back. The truth? My family is my superpower." – Dr. Jeff Buske If this episode hit home, share it with a fellow dentist who needs to hear it.

What if the reason people aren't buying, engaging, staying, or following your lead isn't because they need another motivational poster about "teamwork"? It might be because you have no idea what actually matters to them. In this episode, Erin sits down with David Allison, founder of the Valuegraphics Research Company and author of The Values Map, to talk about why demographics, generic corporate values, and a bunch of buzzwords slapped on an office wall don't tell us nearly as much as we think they do. David shares how understanding what matters most to people can make you a better leader, marketer, salesperson, and overall human trying to get other humans to do things. They also dig into how to uncover someone's real values without creepily asking, "So...what are your deepest values?" and why values alignment might explain why certain jobs, people, opportunities, and even parties just click while others make you want to fake a babysitter emergency and leave. In this episode, you'll hear: Why corporate values often become expensive wallpaper and what actually motivates employees Three questions that reveal what matters most to someone without turning the conversation into a therapy session How to use curiosity and the "Third Why" to get past surface-level small talk Why understanding someone's values can make selling, leading, and influencing a whole lot easier How David realized the traditional definition of success was basically a lie for him and why building your work around what matters most can make it suck significantly less Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Check out David's Website: www.davidallisoninc.com Learn more about Value Graphics: www.valuegraphics.com Pre-order David's book, "The Values Map: Discover What Drives You and How to Move Others" Follow David on LinkedIn at davidallisoninc/ Book Erin to speak Ready to modernize your culture, liberate your leadership, and differentiate your business without sounding like every other company on LinkedIn?

Tweetable Comments "What matters most to us drives everything we do." "Your corporate values are not the human values of the people who are showing up at your corporation." "Authenticity is, I'm gonna say, not a value, it's the end result of values alignment." "It was, 10 years of living a lie that I didn't know was a lie, because I'd only been taught that this was the truth." Podcast Transcript Erin Hatzikostas sits down with David Allison, founder of the Valuegraphics Research Company, to explore what really motivates people at work. They unpack the difference between corporate values and human values, how leaders and salespeople can discover what matters most to someone, why values alignment influences engagement and decision-making, and how understanding your own values can help you build a career that actually fits. Why "Values" Might Be the Wrong Word Erin: What's the biggest misconception you get when people call you the values guy or talk about the research you do around values? David: One of the biggest confusions is just the word values. We're all used to sitting in boardrooms talking about mission, vision, values. The CEO sends out the annual note saying they've finally figured out the corporate values, and usually they're the same as everybody else's corporate values. They go up on the wall behind the receptionist, everybody's happy, and then they're forgotten about 24 hours later. We also run around talking about what we think our values are. Politicians tell us what our values are. So I actually don't love using the word anymore. What works better is asking: What matters most? What matters most to you? What matters most to your customers? What matters most to your employees? That gets much closer to the kind of values I'm researching. Erin: And it feels more distinctive too. Instead of asking somebody for five or ten values, you can start with one or two things that really matter. David: Exactly. Through our research, we've identified 56 values. And the interesting thing is that you can't simply ask people what their values are, because they'll either intentionally or unintentionally tell you what they want their values to be, or what they want you to think their values are. Instead, you ask about behavior. What do you do all day? How do you feel about this thing? What does this topic mean to you? When you listen to what people are actually doing and start mapping their behaviors, you can work backward and understand what matters most to them. What Hockey Can Tell You About Someone's Values David: I'm Canadian, so let's use hockey. If somebody says they're a hockey fan, don't just stop there. Ask how often they go to games. Do they watch at home? Who do they watch with? Friends? Family? Do they take clients to games? Do they own a jersey? If their team gets eliminated, will they cheer for another team or stop watching completely? You're asking them about something they're excited to talk about. But underneath their answers, you're hearing their values. If they refuse to cheer for another team, maybe loyalty matters a lot to them. If every hockey experience involves their friends but never their family, that tells you something about the relative importance of friendship and family in that context. You listen to what people do, and from there you start to see what matters most. Erin: That's the legit researcher part. You're discerning the thing without actually asking them the thing. The Pink Van: Why Assumptions About People Get Us in Trouble Erin: Let's make this practical. Our listeners might be in sales, leadership, or running businesses. How does this help somebody market better, sell more, or become a better leader? David: I'll give you an example from our research. I was preparing for a keynote for a group of employers in the blue-collar trades. They were dealing with a major talent shortage and wanted to understand how to get more people interested in joining the trades. Our research found that people considering careers in the trades dramatically over-indexed around a value called service to others. They wanted to know they were doing something that helped people and made a difference. The employers were already talking about things like earning more money, getting out of shift work, and avoiding the cost of college. Those are logical benefits. But they weren't saying, "This is your chance to be in a helping profession." After my keynote, a business owner came up to me. He had seven offices across the Southern United States with fleets of service vans. In each fleet, one van was painted pink, and all of the money earned by that van went toward breast cancer research because of a personal story involving his wife. I thought that was the story. He said, "No. The real story is that every day my guys fight over who gets to be in the pink van." Erin: Wow. David: Think about that. If you were marketing to people in the trades based on stereotypes, would you ever have gotten to pink vans? Probably not. You'd be talking about football, tailgates, country music, or whatever other assumptions you had about the audience. But the answer was pink vans. There's almost always a pink van in the research. Something that makes you say, "We never would have guessed that, but now it makes complete sense." When you understand what matters most to people, you can use it to market, motivate, inspire, build policies, engage employees, and make strategic decisions. Three Questions That Reveal What Matters Most Erin: What about people who can't hire your company to conduct a big research study? What questions could they ask employees or clients to get closer to this information themselves? David: We have three questions we call the three telltale questions. We've tested versions of them with people around the world. The important part is that you don't ask one person once and assume you've figured everything out. Ask a lot of people and listen for patterns. Those patterns are the signals in the noise. That's where the values start bubbling to the surface. David: The first question is: Why do you go to work? Someone might immediately say, "To pay my bills." Fine. Ask why else. Maybe their friends are there. Maybe work is their creative outlet. Maybe they feel like they're making a difference. Maybe it's where they feel useful. They're telling you why they choose to spend such a huge portion of their life doing this thing. The second question is: Why would you give away half of your lottery winnings? If someone says they wouldn't, tell them to imagine they won a lottery where giving away half was required. Then ask where they'd give it and why. That's a major behavioral decision. The "why" behind it is usually a value talking. The third question is: If you could send one message to yourself 10 years ago, what would it be? Listen to whether they talk about family, friendship, work, stress, money, kids, health, or something else. Whatever comes up tells you something about what matters most to them. Erin: That's really good. The Values Corporate America Often Misses Erin: Is there a value corporations tend to underestimate? Something that leaders might not put in their top five, but your research shows matters a lot? David: Every workforce is different, so I wouldn't prescribe one value to every company. But there is a cluster that appears again and again. Of the 56 values we've identified, five show up constantly across different industries and groups. We call them the togetherness values: belonging, family, friendship, relationships, and community. Those aren't interchangeable. Belonging is different from community. Community is different from relationships. Companies tend to lump them all together, but you need to understand which one actually matters to your people. The broader point is that humans want some form of connection. So look at your employee research, surveys, hallway conversations, and everything else you already know about your workforce. Which form of togetherness seems to matter most? Then lean into it. David: Because here's the secret to everything: What matters most to us drives everything we do. If you want people to be more engaged, stop quitting, or actually care about the work they're doing, you have to give them more of what matters most. Your Corporate Values Are Not Your Employees' Human Values David: One of the biggest mistakes corporations make is spending two years and millions of dollars figuring out their corporate values and then wondering why employees aren't behaving according to them. Your corporate values are not the human values of the people who are showing up at your corporation. You've only done half the job. The company might decide creativity is one of its core values. Great. But suppose personal growth is one of the strongest human values among your employees. Now you need to connect the dots. Show employees how being creative at work helps them grow as people. Explain why the behavior you're asking for gives them more of something that already matters deeply to them. If you don't make that connection, they'll look at "creativity" written on the wall and think, "Okay, whatever. That doesn't matter to me." Corporate values might actually be better described as guiding principles or a list of ways the organization wants people to behave. Stop Turning Values Into Expensive Wallpaper Erin: You just hit one of my hot spots. It's not enough to say you're a "family-first organization." Tell people what that actually means. Maybe it means you're not expecting someone to answer emails from the soccer field. Maybe leaders who have ideas over the weekend schedule the email to go out Monday instead of firing it off immediately. Specificity is what makes those values feel real. Even something like safety can be communicated in a more human way. Instead of just saying, "We believe in OSHA adherence," explain that you want people to leave work safely and go home to grill burgers with their family that night. It's not just about the value. It's about how you talk about it and how you put it into action. I recently talked to a company whose mantra was "grit and gratitude." I loved that because it's only two things, it's memorable, and there's a little juxtaposition between them. Companies sometimes think more is better. Maybe you're better off choosing one or two things and going deeper. David: I like grit and gratitude because it doesn't sound like everybody else. Under those two ideas, you can still have many different behaviors and principles. But at least there's something distinctive to connect to. How Understanding Values Tripled a Fundraising Target Erin: What's one example where an organization used your research and made a change that had a really profound impact? David: We worked with a hospital foundation in Canada that wanted to attract more high-net-worth donors and increase the size of their gifts. We profiled people in the community who had previously donated to health-related causes but had never donated to this particular foundation. An interesting pattern emerged. Many of the prospective donors were women who had recently been widowed and, for the first time in their lives, were making major financial decisions independently. Our research showed how important that newfound independence and agency were to them. So the foundation changed its approach. Instead of saying, "Here's where your money is going," they said, essentially, "Your gift could help us in several different ways. Which area would you like your money to support?" They sat down with donors and let them decide what mattered to them. By giving those women agency over the decision, the foundation tripled its fundraising target. Erin: Wow. David: They framed their strategy, marketing, and messaging around what mattered most to those people. The decision suddenly became an easy yes because the organization wasn't just asking for money. It was giving people an opportunity to act on something they deeply valued. What Values Alignment Feels Like Erin: I think about this in my own life too. When I was evaluating financial advisors, it was amazing how few people seemed interested in understanding what mattered to me. For me, I wanted someone I could actually connect with and have real conversations with. Not a bunch of BS. If somebody had simply asked me what was most important to me, I would have basically handed them the answer to how to sell to me. David: And here's what's interesting about those situations. When you find a person, product, job, or situation that genuinely aligns with what matters most to you, you often notice the absence of things. You're not second-guessing yourself. You're not lying awake at night running the pros and cons through your head. You're not constantly trying to convince yourself to make the relationship work. It just works. Erin: It clicks into place like a Lego. David: Exactly. Think about parties. There are parties where you walk in and immediately think, "Nope. How quickly can we leave?" And then there are parties where you want to stay all night. You may not be able to explain exactly why. Maybe it's the people, the music, the room, the energy, or some combination of all of it. But something about that environment aligns with what matters to you. Is Authenticity a Value? Erin: This is where your work and mine dovetail. People are craving something they can connect to, whether it's a salesperson, a leader, or a company. Wallpaper corporate values aren't enough. You need specificity, examples, and authenticity. Give people something they can plug into so they can determine whether it aligns with them. And it's actually better if someone can clearly say, "No, this doesn't align with me," than to give them nothing but vanilla and leave them thinking, "I don't know." David: You said earlier that authenticity might be the 57th value. I'm going to reframe that. Authenticity is, I'm gonna say, not a value, it's the end result of values alignment. If you're living authentically, you're living according to what matters most to you. Erin: I think authenticity might also be part of how you uncover the values in the first place. It's the stories, uncommon language, specificity, and willingness to actually expose who you are that allow people to feel what those values really mean. David: I think we're talking about the same thing from different layers. You're looking at the umbrella. I'm down in the weeds. The Question That Changed a High-Stakes Negotiation Erin: I have a story about the phrase "what matters most." When I became interim CEO, I had to renegotiate our largest contract. The vendor wanted more money, and giving it to them could have made an already difficult financial situation much worse. It was high stakes, and I'm not exactly known for being a giant planner. Early in the first conversation, I asked the executive, "What matters most to you in this negotiation?" He wasn't expecting the question, so he answered honestly. His company expected to pursue an IPO, and long-term contracts were incredibly important because investors would want confidence that major clients weren't about to leave. Suddenly, I understood that this negotiation wasn't only about price. A long-term agreement mattered tremendously to him. Switching vendors would have been incredibly difficult for us anyway, so I was perfectly comfortable discussing a long-term contract. That one question completely changed what I understood about the negotiation. David: "What matters most to you about this situation?" or "What matters most to you about this outcome?" are fantastic questions in sales and negotiations. But you can also learn a lot by simply paying attention and being curious. How to Discover Someone's Values Through Small Talk David: Let's use you as an example. There's a photo behind you. What's it a picture of? Erin: My family. My husband and my two children. David: And I can see books behind you. What's one of the most recent books you added? Erin: Probably Fans First by Jesse Cole from the Savannah Bananas. David: Are you a baseball fan? Erin: Not specifically. I'm a big sports fan, though. David: Where did that come from? Erin: My grandmother. She passed away when she was 62, so I was only 11. But I remember sitting in her living room with her. She was about 4'11", sitting in a green leather chair beside the dialysis machine she used at home, smoking a cigarette with a police scanner nearby. She lived in a town of about 800 people, so I'm not sure how much exciting police activity there was to scan. And she always had sports on. She didn't just watch sports. She participated. She yelled at the TV. She was spicy. She absolutely hated Notre Dame, so I still hate Notre Dame today basically as an ode to her. For a woman of her generation, being that passionate about sports was unusual. And I think that's where I got it. The other reason I still love sports is the authenticity of it. Nobody knows what's going to happen. It's not scripted. I love the energy and unpredictability. I also love the lack of commitment. I can watch and leave whenever I want. David: That little conversation already gave me several clues. Family is important to you. Creativity is clearly there. I hear some tradition in the way you talk about carrying your grandmother's influence forward. Experiences are important to you. The way you described sitting in that room with your grandmother is incredibly vivid. And when you said you like being able to leave whenever you want, independence came roaring to the forefront. Erin: One thousand percent. And what's interesting is that most people stop too soon. They see the family photo and ask, "Are those your kids?" Or they notice something from Michigan and ask, "Are you from Michigan?" But then they stop. To uncover what matters to someone, you have to be genuinely curious enough to ask the next question. The Third Why David: There's a technique I call The Third Why. You might ask somebody why they chose to have a family photo taken at a particular place. They'll give you an answer. Then you ask why that mattered. And then you go one level deeper again. Three whys down is often where people start telling you about a value. The first answer is usually surface level. The second starts getting somewhere. By the third, you're getting closer to what is actually driving the decision. Erin: That's the key. You can't necessarily plan all of those questions ahead of time. You have to actually listen and be curious enough to follow where the answer goes. When the Traditional Definition of Success Stops Working Erin: We ask everyone for a "buck that" story, meaning a time when you bucked the norm, stopped following the expected path, and did something different. What's yours? David: Quitting the big company and going out on my own. That was scary. I remember the first days working from home, finding all kinds of ways to stall. Making sure the pencils were in exactly the right place. Rearranging things. Eventually you realize there's nothing left to organize. You actually have to do the work. But as we've been talking about, I have an independence streak a mile wide. I once told my coach I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting anything done even though I had deadlines everywhere. He asked if I'd blocked the work on my calendar. I said yes. He asked, "So why aren't you doing what's on your calendar?" And I realized: because I don't want my calendar telling me what to do. Erin: Because you told yourself to do it, and now yourself can't tell you what to do. David: Exactly. My calendar is bossing me around, and I'm resisting my own calendar. That independence was one of the values pushing me toward working for myself. The Day David Couldn't Get on the Elevator Erin: Was there traditional career advice you followed for a while and eventually realized wasn't right for you? David: Keep your job. Why would you work for yourself and rely on your own ability to earn a living when you could get a steady paycheck every two weeks? I grew up at a time when the path to success seemed much narrower. It felt like the goal was to become the CEO of Coca-Cola. Erin: Or become a consultant to the CEO of Coca-Cola. Those were basically the two business models we knew. David: Exactly. The world told me I was supposed to run as fast as possible up the corporate ladder. Learn to love the suits and ties. Play the politics. Run a board. Eventually I realized it wasn't working for me. I actually had a breakdown. I was working for a big company and one morning I was standing in the elevator lobby waiting to go upstairs. I couldn't get on the elevator. It felt like there was a physical barrier in front of me. I could not make myself get on that elevator and go face everything waiting upstairs. So I turned around, went home, and called in to say, "I don't think I'm coming back." It took me almost a year to recover from that and start building what I needed to build on my own. David: It was 10 years of living a lie that I didn't know was a lie, because I'd only been taught that this was the truth. When I finally figured out it wasn't the truth, at least not for me, it was like being slapped across the face. That's something I try to pass along now. Whatever the internet tells you, Instagram tells you, your parents tell you, or society tells you is the path to success is only useful if it's actually your path to success. Figure out what matters most to you. Figure out your values. Then craft your version of life and run in that direction. Erin: And the experience you went through is part of what allows you to give that lesson to somebody else now. David Allison's Advice for Making Work Suck Less Erin: What's your final piece of advice for making work suck less? David: Find ways to make your work more about what matters to you. Volunteer for that project. Take the extra assignment that aligns with you. When you can, move away from the work that doesn't. Even if you're working inside a set of constraints and don't have much flexibility, almost everybody has some ability to maneuver. You can choose what you're going to lean into and what you're not. Make your work more about what matters most to you, and you'll be happier.

In Episode 52 of The League, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid discuss several major developments shaping the future of power markets. The conversation begins with a significant New York court ruling that classified battery energy storage as a public utility, potentially giving developers a stronger path through local zoning and permitting challenges. They discuss why this legal precedent could accelerate the development of standalone battery projects across the state over the next several years. They also examine New Jersey's plans to procure 1.1 GW of nuclear power while seeking to protect ratepayers from construction and cost-overrun risk. Nuclear offers the promise of reliable, carbon-free generation, but long development timelines, financing challenges, and execution risk remain major questions. The episode then turns to the rapidly growing electricity demand created by AI and data centers. Benoy shares insights from a recent Young Professionals in Energy panel focused on how the industry can deliver reliable 24/7 power quickly enough to support data center growth. The conclusion: there is no single solution. Solar, battery storage, natural gas, fuel cells, microgrids, nuclear, transmission, and demand management will all likely play a role. The real competitive advantage may belong to companies that can navigate permitting, interconnection, financing, and infrastructure deployment faster than their competitors.   Host Bio: Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Rene Down down down down downu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.
