Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Jason Ackerman, the hardest part of growing a small business is scaling while staying focused. He highlights the struggle of balancing growth with stability and managing limited cash flow. Finding and keeping the right team members who share the vision is another major challenge. He also stresses the need to adapt quickly to disruptions in fast-changing industries. Overall, sustaining growth without losing direction is the toughest hurdle for entrepreneurs. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jason Ackerman has mentioned that one of the books that helped him the most is “The Manual” by Epictetus. Even though it isn't a traditional business book, he considers it powerful because its lessons on discipline, perspective, and resilience apply directly to entrepreneurship and leadership. The timeless wisdom in it helped him stay grounded while navigating the uncertainty and challenges of building and scaling a business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Jason Ackerman recommends several great resources for entrepreneurs looking to grow a small business. His own show, Best Hour of Their Day, dives into leadership, fitness business, and growth strategies. He has also appeared on Two-Brain Radio and the Grow Your Nutrition Business Podcast, where he shares lessons on scaling, coaching, and avoiding common mistakes. For finance and compliance insights, his appearance on The Bandit Room (“A Lot of Letters with CPA Jason Ackerman”) is also valuable. Together, these podcasts offer practical advice on leadership, scaling, and financial management for small business owners. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Jason Ackerman often stresses the importance of tools that streamline growth, and one he'd recommend is a CRM system to manage customer relationships effectively. A CRM helps track leads, follow-ups, and client interactions, preventing missed opportunities. Alongside this, he highlights the value of consistent content and marketing, supported by scheduling tools like Buffer or Hootsuite. Automation platforms such as Zapier can further save time by handling repetitive tasks. Together, these resources free business owners to focus on strategy, scaling, and customer satisfaction. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Jason Ackerman's advice to his younger self on day one of starting a business would be to focus on the long game and not chase perfection right away. He often emphasizes that mistakes are part of the process, and instead of fearing them, new entrepreneurs should learn quickly and adapt. He would remind himself to surround his journey with the right people—mentors, partners, and team members who share the vision and values. He also stresses the importance of patience, since success rarely comes overnight, and consistency matters more than quick wins. Most importantly, he'd tell himself to stay true to his mission and not get distracted by comparisons or trends that don't align with the bigger picture.

En buffer handler ikke nødvendigvis om større beløb, men om tryghed. En tryg økonomi er noget, vi har lyst til at vedligeholde – og derfor kan en buffer også give dig mere lyst til at tage dig af din økonomi. I dagens afsnit kigger vi på både de åbenlyse og de skjulte fordele ved at have en buffer.Link til podcast afsnit

rWotD Episode 3060: Disk buffer Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Friday, 19 September 2025, is Disk buffer.In computer storage, a disk buffer (often ambiguously called a disk cache or a cache buffer) is the embedded memory in a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) acting as a buffer between the rest of the computer and the physical hard disk platter or flash memory that is used for storage. Modern hard disk drives come with 8 to 256 MiB of such memory, and solid-state drives come with up to 4 GB of cache memory.Since the late 1980s, nearly all disks sold have embedded microcontrollers and either an ATA, Serial ATA, SCSI, or Fibre Channel interface. The drive circuitry usually has a small amount of memory, used to store the data going to and coming from the disk platters.The disk buffer is physically distinct from and is used differently from the page cache typically kept by the operating system in the computer's main memory. The disk buffer is controlled by the microcontroller in the hard disk drive, and the page cache is controlled by the computer to which that disk is attached. The disk buffer is usually quite small, ranging between 8 MB and 4 GB, and the page cache is generally all unused main memory. While data in the page cache is reused multiple times, the data in the disk buffer is rarely reused. In this sense, the terms disk cache and cache buffer are misnomers; the embedded controller's memory is more appropriately called disk buffer.Note that disk array controllers, as opposed to disk controllers, usually have normal cache memory of around 0.5–8 GiB.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:15 UTC on Friday, 19 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Disk buffer on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

Zach returns after shattering his ceiling: $34K in prop-firm payouts in one month. He explains the flip that did it—moving from high-R/low-win models to negative risk-reward scalping on NQ (5–10 points, limit entries, fewer trades). We dig into how prop rules shape strategy, why high win-rate models fit prop better, platform preferences (Tradeovate vs Project X), Topstep for quick payouts vs bigger buffers on Tradeify, and the real cadence of payouts (they arrive in waves). Zack also shares his counter-intuitive risk curve (start aggressive to build buffer, then size down), how teaching his course sharpened his edge, and practical budgeting so hot streaks become income—not lifestyle creep.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 55% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code ASFX for 20% off

Imagine a Netflix-style platform where you don't just watch shows, you create new episodes, alternate endings, and even step into the story yourself. That's the vision behind Fable, an AI company pushing the idea of “playable shows,” and it could change how we think about entertainment. It's podcast news day, so we also dig into YouTube's new collaboration tools for creators, LinkedIn's pivot toward video, and our thoughts on this move. As creators, we're standing at the intersection of opportunity and overload. The big question is, with AI, shifting platforms, and evolving audiences, are we keeping pace or getting left behind?Labor Day Sale!

El episodio se basa en un artículo escrito por Rafael Sotelo, gerente de contenido en Marketing4eCommerce en el que examina estrategias clave para el crecimiento en LinkedIn basándose en un amplio estudio de dos millones de publicaciones. Se enfatiza que LinkedIn premia la frecuencia de publicación, contrariamente a otras plataformas, incrementando la visibilidad y las interacciones con más contenido. El estudio revela que aumentar la frecuencia de 1 a 11 o más publicaciones semanales puede generar un aumento significativo en impresiones y engagement, afectando a cuentas de todos los tamaños por igual. Sin embargo, se subraya que la calidad del contenido es fundamental, pues publicar material de baja calidad con frecuencia no producirá buenos resultados. Además, el artículo destaca que los comentarios relevantes pueden aumentar la visibilidad y que los carruseles son el formato más efectivo para el engagement, superando a videos, imágenes y texto. Artículo original: https://marketing4ecommerce.net/las-claves-para-crecer-en-linkedin/ Tutorial Cómo publicar un Carrusel en LinkedIn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AsZ6RJhyNgConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/marketing-digital--2659763/support.

Struggling to compete with content creators for attention on social media? What if I told you that one innovative company decided to turn their entire team into creators instead of hiring expensive influencers?In this revealing episode, I break down how Buffer revolutionized employee advocacy by moving beyond "please share our company posts" to "please build your own personal brand." The results? 90% participation, over 2.5 million total reach, and a cultural shift that's making competitors take notice.This isn't your typical employee advocacy program - it's the future of user-generated content strategy, and it perfectly illustrates the Platform Authentic Content concepts from my book Digital Threads.In this episode, you'll discover:✅ Why traditional employee advocacy programs fail (and what Buffer did differently)✅ The three-pillar system Buffer used: Slack community, resource hub, and Creator Café workshops✅ How to shift from promotional mindset to authentic personal brand building✅ Why empowering employees as creators beats hiring external influencers✅ The impressive results: 4,100+ posts, 4M impressions, and measurable confidence growth✅ How this strategy creates authentic brand advocates who understand the creator struggle✅ Practical steps to implement this with just 3-5 employees (you don't need Buffer's resources)Perfect for: Entrepreneurs and small business owners looking for authentic content strategies, marketers struggling with creator economy competition, and business leaders wanting to build stronger employer branding while scaling content creation.Key Takeaway: Instead of competing with content creators, smart companies are creating their own creators from within - turning employees into authentic brand advocates while building their personal brands.Resources Mentioned:Digital Threads by Neal Schaffer (available on Amazon)Buffer's Team of Creators case studyLearn More: Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazon Buy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazon Join My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmo Download My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschaffer All My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

In this conversation, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia discuss retirement planning topics including market downturns, buffer assets, demographic trends, and emerging products like tontines and buffered ETFs. They highlight how historical market performance shapes future expectations and emphasize the role of strategic asset allocation in retirement income planning. Takeaways Market downturns can last longer than five years, impacting retirement planning. Buffer assets can help retirees weather market downturns without selling at a loss. Demographic trends may influence market performance and interest rates in the future. Modern tontines could provide innovative solutions for retirement income. Combining safety for essential expenses with discretionary spending can optimize retirement income. Historical returns should not be the sole basis for future market assumptions. Buffered ETFs may serve as effective tools for risk diversification in high market valuation environments. Understanding the liquidity and terms of financial products is crucial for effective retirement planning. Technological advances may reshape traditional financial products like tontines. A diversified portfolio can help manage risks associated with market fluctuations.   Chapters   00:00 Introduction and Technical Setup 03:58 Market Downturns and Retirement Planning 12:59 Buffer Assets in Retirement 19:09 Tontines and Modern Financial Solutions 23:06 Combining Safety and Growth in Retirement Income 29:07 Buffered ETFs and Risk Diversification 33:31 Retirement Income Perspectives 34:06 Market Valuations and Investment Strategies   Links Explore the New RetireWithStyle.com!

In this episode of Retire with Style, Alex Murguia and Wade Pfau explore how buffer assets can help manage sequence risk in retirement. They discuss different types of buffer assets—including cash, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), multi-year guaranteed annuities (MYGAs), and whole life insurance—and examine the trade-offs involved with each. Wade also shares insights on the evolving role of reverse mortgages in retirement planning, emphasizing the importance of weighing costs and long-term implications when incorporating these tools into a financial strategy. Takeaways Buffer assets help manage sequence risk by providing a safety net. Cash, HELOCs, and life insurance can serve as buffer assets. HELOCs may not be reliable during market downturns. MIGAs can be considered buffer assets under certain conditions. CDs can also function as buffer assets if withdrawal penalties are minimal. Reverse mortgages offer unique advantages but come with costs. The perception of reverse mortgages has evolved over time. Long-term care costs can be partially covered by reverse mortgages. Whole life insurance allows borrowing against cash value. Understanding the terms of financial products is crucial for effective planning.   Chapters 00:00Introduction and Overview of Sequence Risk 02:24Understanding Buffer Assets 05:32Exploring Alternatives: HELOCs and Other Options 08:51Evaluating Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuities (MIGAs) as Buffer Assets 10:51The Role of CDs and Fixed Indexed Annuities 13:27The Case Against Gold as a Buffer Asset 16:12Reverse Mortgages: Risks and Benefits 19:19Changing Perceptions of Reverse Mortgages 22:31Long-Term Care and Reverse Mortgages 25:38Whole Life Insurance Loans and Their Implications   Links Explore the New RetireWithStyle.com!

In this episode of Retire with Style, hosts Alex Murguia and Wade Pfau explore how to manage sequence of returns risk in retirement. They break down four key strategies: spending conservatively, staying flexible with spending, reducing investment volatility, and using buffer assets. The discussion also touches on how sequence risk can arise more than once—especially for early retirees—and how having a pension can affect your overall risk tolerance. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the value of starting retirement on solid footing and building a margin of safety into your plan.   Takeaways Sequence of returns risk is crucial for retirees. Four strategies to manage sequence of returns risk exist. Spending conservatively can mitigate risk. Flexible spending strategies can adapt to market conditions. Reducing investment volatility is essential for stability. Buffer assets provide a safety net during downturns. Early retirement years are particularly vulnerable to risk. A good start in retirement can set the tone for success. Pension income can change portfolio risk tolerance. Understanding personal risk preferences is key to financial planning.   Chapters 00:00Introduction to Sequence of Returns Risk 07:33Understanding the Four Strategies to Manage Risk 17:14Exploring Multiple Sequence of Returns Risks 19:30Portfolio Risk and Pension Considerations   Links Explore the New RetireWithStyle.com!

 Welcome back to The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast—I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today's episode is extra special. Not only is it our 75th episode, but it also marks my return to the mic after a much-needed, intentional break. After a season of rest, reflection, and realignment, The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast is BACK—with a powerful new episode on one of the most underused career tools: Knowing when—and how—to say NO. In this comeback episode, I'm sharing: ✔ Why I took a podcast break and prioritized paying clients over free content ✔ 3 simple scripts and strategies to protect your time ✔ A fresh new plan for how I'm showing up consistently (without burning out) If you've ever said yes when you really wanted to say no—this one's for you. Ok you guys, so let me take you back to the beginning and share a personal story as to WHY I decided to take this break and HOW prioritization plays into all of this. It starts in Paris, France and ended in Cancun Mexico. That's right, it started with 2 amazing family vacations I took this year.  Let's start in Paris… (Provence and Paris)…now let's move on to the sandy beaches of Cancún, Mexico. After ALL was said and done, when I got back, I had a calendar full of coaching clients and workshops. So, I took my own advice and focused on the parts of my business that generate revenue and impact the most people one-on-one. This show—and my YouTube channel—are ad-free, by choice. And while that means I'm not monetizing these platforms yet, it also means I have to be fiercely protective of my time. But friends—I missed this. I missed you. So I'm back, and going forward, I'll be simplifying things with shorter, more intentional episodes that still deliver value without burning me—or you—out. Let's dive in!Today we're talking about when it's OK to say no—and how to do it without guilt. As career women, we're often expected to do it all, be everywhere, and say yes to everything. But let me tell you something I had to learn the hard way: saying no is not selfish—it's strategic. Here are three powerful tips to help you start protecting your time and energy like the queen you are:

He stresses focusing on desired shots first, packing only essential gear, planning for power and backup needs, and not letting equipment overshadow the enjoyment of the trip.Finding & Owning Your Editing Style - A listener asks about confidence in a "purposefully imperfect" editing style. Raymond encourages embracing what moves you emotionally rather than succumbing to trends.
