What does it really mean to live an audacious life? In this episode of The Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Erica Rothenberger—a civil engineer, corporate executive, entrepreneur, mom of two, podcast host, and founder of the Audacious Women Summit—to talk about leadership, fulfillment, resilience, and turning unimaginable pain into purposeful action. Erica defines being audacious differently than most people. It's not the highlight reel that everyone sees. It's the hard conversations, the early mornings, the uncomfortable decisions, and the behind-the-scenes work that no one applauds. It's choosing growth when it's difficult and continuing to show up when nobody's watching. After a seventh-grade Take Your Daughter to Work Day introduced her to construction, Erica found herself building a successful career in a male-dominated industry by learning how to stretch beyond her comfort zone and walk confidently into rooms where she didn't always feel like she belonged. But her greatest lesson wouldn't come from the boardroom. In 2022, Erica survived a violent assault and strangulation that forever changed the trajectory of her life. Rather than allowing her story to define her, she chose to use it to serve others. Today, she's become an advocate for survivors, donates proceeds from her book to domestic violence organizations, and is working to bring Erica's Law to Pennsylvania. We also dive into why so many high achievers struggle to feel fulfilled despite accomplishing incredible things, how meaningful relationships can completely change the direction of your life, and why celebrating your wins might be one of the most important habits you're currently neglecting. This conversation is about courage, boundaries, healing, and giving yourself permission to live audaciously. In This Episode, We Discuss: What it truly means to live an audacious life The behind-the-scenes habits that create extraordinary success Building confidence in male-dominated industries Why high achievers often struggle with fulfillment How meaningful connections can change your life's trajectory Erica's journey from corporate leadership to creating the Audacious Women Summit Surviving a violent assault and transforming pain into purpose Why boundaries and saying "no" are essential for growth The power of celebrating your accomplishments through an "Audacious Badass List" Erica's 3:00-3:30 daily practice for creating intentionality and success How resilience is built one decision at a time

Mike Wood is a consciousness awareness professional, business leader, and creator of the Learn to Love Being You program. After overcoming decades of anxiety, self-doubt, and undiagnosed dyslexia, Mike helped scale a construction business from $2.5 million to over $100 million in revenue while discovering that lasting success starts with inner transformation. In this episode, he shares how changing your mindset can unlock greater confidence, stronger relationships, and ultimately, more financial success. On this episode we talk about: How overcoming limiting beliefs can transform your career and financial future Mike's journey from manual labor to helping grow a $100 million construction company Why confidence is built through action—not waiting until you feel ready The connection between inner peace, personal fulfillment, and financial success How relationships, networking, and investing in yourself create new opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Your external results often reflect your internal beliefs. Lasting financial success begins by changing the stories you tell yourself. Confidence isn't something you're born with—it's developed by taking opportunities before you feel fully prepared. Building meaningful relationships and maintaining an abundance mindset creates opportunities that hard work alone can't provide. Notable Quotes "Anything you want on the outside manifests on the inside first." "There was nothing on the outside that was going to make me happy—not money, not relationships, not anything." "You should be just as excited about spending money wisely as you are about receiving it."

Medical aesthetics is one of the few areas of healthcare where practice owners have real control over pricing. Because most services are cash pay, med spas are not waiting on insurance reimbursements or negotiating with carriers. Yet many practices give away that advantage by running constant promotions and training patients to shop for the lowest Botox price.  In this solo episode, I explain how deep discounts create margin erosion, weaken patient loyalty, and push the industry toward commoditization. I also share how stronger consultations, treatment plans, and value-based pricing can improve retention, patient experience, and clinic profitability without turning every appointment into a sales pitch. Discounts Train Patients to Wait for the Next Offer  Discounts can fill the schedule for a weekend, but they also change how patients see the practice. When every holiday comes with a coupon, patients learn that the listed price is temporary and the service is interchangeable. That is how Botox pricing and injectables start to feel like retail products instead of medical treatments.  Patients who choose a practice based only on price are also difficult to retain. They may come in for the promotion and leave as soon as another clinic advertises a better deal. You pay to acquire them, give up margin on the treatment, and still have no lasting customer relationship to show for it. Run the Numbers Before You Run the Promotion  A discount should never be approved simply because the calendar is slow or a competitor launched one. Before lowering the price, look at what the offer does to gross profit, cash flow, future capacity, and patient behavior. Promotional revenue can look impressive while the economics underneath it tell a very different story.  Calculate treatment margin after product cost, provider compensation, payment fees, and promotional spending  Measure how many discounted patients return and rebook at full price  Compare customer acquisition cost with patient lifetime value  Account for prepaid packages as future treatment obligations rather than immediate profit  Review inventory levels before promoting injectables or retail products  Determine whether the offer supports a broader treatment plan or only creates a one-time visit  Give the team clear language to explain value, outcomes, and next steps without relying on aggressive sales techniques  If the numbers only work when patients purchase more later, be honest about how often that actually happens. Upselling cannot carry the strategy when your intake, follow-up, and rebooking systems are not built to support it.  (00:05:43) Building lasting patient relationships (00:09:01) Setting confident pricing for services (00:10:40) Understanding value versus effort (00:15:21) Shifting from retail to patient focus (00:16:31) Improving client intake and planning (00:19:37) Identifying growth barriers for practices  Lead the Consultation With Medical Authority  A patient consultation should feel like clinical guidance, not a review of services and prices. Patients come to you because they want a result and need help understanding which treatments will get them there. When providers lead with patient education, set realistic expectations, and recommend a clear treatment plan, price becomes one part of the decision rather than the entire conversation.  This also creates a better patient experience. People are more likely to follow through, rebook, and trust future recommendations when they understand why the plan was created. Value-based pricing works when the practice can clearly connect its expertise, care, and treatment strategy to the outcome the patient wants. Patient Loyalty Creates More Predictable Growth  Practices that depend on promotions often see the same pattern: a rush of cash, a crowded schedule, and then another dip. That volatility makes financial management harder because staffing, inventory management, and marketing decisions are being made around short-term spikes instead of reliable demand.  A medicine-first approach creates cleaner practice growth. Strong treatment plans, consistent rebooking, and better customer retention increase patient lifetime value and make cash flow easier to forecast. Over time, that stability gives you room to improve margins, invest in your team, and expand without constantly discounting the work that built your reputation. A med spa with medical authority and loyal patients has far more control over its pricing, profitability, and future.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.  Connect with Shannon: Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

This week we're picking up where we left off last week after I shared my own journey selling my condo in PR — and this time we're going deep on buying real estate on the island. I sat down with Krystal Vias, a proud Nuyorican and founder of Buy The Block PR, who's on a mission to reconnect la diáspora with Puerto Rico, one block at a time. Krystal didn't step foot on the island until she was 38 and that first trip changed everything. Now she's helping thousands of Boricuas navigate the confusing, often antiquated process of buying property back home, from finding trustworthy realtors to avoiding land scams. We get into the real talk: the identity crisis so many of us in the diaspora carry, conscious investing versus gentrification, and why speaking perfect Spanish is NOT a requirement for belonging. If you've ever thought about buying property on the island, this episode is your permission slip.WE GET INTO:00:00 – Intro: Welcome Krystal Viaz, founder of Buy The Block PR01:26 – Krystal's story: first trip to PR at 38 and falling in love with the island02:26 – Financial education roots + losing her brother-in-law to colon cancer04:49 – Why there's no Cash App or Zelle in PR (and why that's by design)06:44 – What Buy The Block PR actually offers07:40 – Krystal's podcast, By The Blockcast08:14 – Navigating identity: being "from here but also from there"10:34 – Dealing with backlash: "you're not really Puerto Rican"12:37 – Misconceptions about buying property (it's not just hopping on Zillow)13:44 – How to actually find listings on the island16:30 – Vetting real estate agents, lenders, and contractors18:43 – Common scams and red flags to watch for20:17 – The risks of buying land (inheritance issues, unpaved roads, protected land)22:27 – What you need financially before you start looking25:41 – Conscious investing vs. displacement and gentrification30:05 – Airbnb, tax incentives, and long-term rental income34:09 – Building remote income to fund the move37:24 – "Spanish shame" and the myth that fluency is required39:37 – Internal pressure vs. external validation of Latinidad41:25 – The history behind Puerto Rican migration policies43:41 – How to get involved with Buy The Block PR45:19 – Closing thoughts: ownership, privilege, and being about itKEY TAKEAWAYS:Puerto Rico doesn't have one central MLS like the mainland — off-market properties, Facebook groups, and word-of-mouth are huge parts of the processYou'll need a trusted, vetted local team (realtor, lawyer, mortgage broker) — and red flags include people who go dark on communicationLand purchases carry unique risks: unresolved inheritance issues, unpaved roads, no electrical/water access, and protected land you can't build onMainland buyers typically need a second-home loan (20% down) unless they can prove 2 years of remote or island-based incomeLong-term rental income in PR can be tax-free — a lesser-known incentive worth knowing aboutConscious investing means asking "how does this affect my neighbors and community?" — not just "what's my ROI?"Not speaking fluent Spanish does NOT disqualify you from reconnecting — the real barrier is internal permission, not languageCONNECT WITH KRYSTAL:Buy The Block PR Website: https://www.buytheblockpr.comBuy The Block PR Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/BuytheblockPRTAKE THE NEXT STEP WITH YO QUIERO DINERO:

In this "From The Archives" episode, we revisit this popular series entitled Seven Vital Steps to Building a Christian Family, based on Deuteronomy 6. God charged Israel to live distinctly from surrounding culture and to actively pass that faith down to children and grandchildren. This is a multi-generational, slow-built process rather than a quick fix. Step One: The Fear of the Lord Psalm 33:8, Psalm 33:18, Psalm 34:7, Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7, 1:29, 8:13, 10:27, 14:27 — Fearing God is tied to wisdom, knowledge, protection, and a fuller life. Practical ways to cultivate reverence in kids Congregational singing as an act of worship and awe Daily gratitude and prayer at meals Careful, deliberate use of God's name in the home Creating "awe" experiences

If you're a Christian entrepreneur who feels overwhelmed in your business, this episode is for you. You're not overwhelmed because you need to work harder or find another productivity hack. You're overwhelmed because you're trying to build a business that doesn't fit how God made you, and that mismatch is what leads to burnout. We walk through the four real reasons you feel overwhelmed: Building someone else's version of success Working outside your zone of genius Saying yes to good opportunities that were never your assignment Ignoring how God actually wired you Then I give you five simple questions to find the work that gives you energy and the work you need to delegate or let go. If you're tired of forcing a version of success that was never meant for you, this episode is your permission to stop, and to build the business God designed for you instead.                                                            __________________________________________________________

In this fun and insightful roundtable episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis Chappell is joined by producer Eric and guest co-host Brandon Birkmeyer, host of Brands on Brands. The trio dives into a growing trend they call “pity marketing”—using sympathy, disappointment, or public failure to drive attention and sales. From empty book signings to viral “nobody bought my product” posts, they unpack whether this strategy actually works, what it says about your brand, and why creating demand is ultimately a better long-term play. On this episode we talk about: What “pity marketing” is and why it has become a common tactic online The difference between sharing lessons learned and simply asking for sympathy Why marketing—not just creating—is the key to selling books, products, and events How speakers, authors, and creators can stand out in crowded markets Why leading with stories, drama, and audience value works better than begging for attention Top 3 Takeaways Creating something isn't enough—you have to market it. Building a product, writing a book, or launching an event is only step one; consistent promotion is what brings people through the door. Share lessons, not pity. Audiences connect with stories of growth, experimentation, and improvement far more than they do with public pleas for sympathy. Differentiate yourself by creating value. Whether you're a speaker, creator, or entrepreneur, your audience, expertise, and unique perspective matter more than credentials or manufactured drama. Notable Quotes "If you build it and market the shit out of it, then people will come." "Nobody cares how hard you worked—they care about the value you provide." "If you're sharing the story from the perspective of, 'Here's what I learned,' it feels completely different."

Editor, director, and producer Whit Conway explains how the Hulu comedy Never Change! was assembled on an unusually compressed post-production schedule. He discusses cutting scenes while production was still underway, building an organized Adobe Premiere Pro workflow, using searchable transcripts to locate alternate performances, and collaborating with director and co-editor Marty Schousboe. Conway also shares how constant iteration shapes comedy, why editors cannot become precious about an early cut, and how aspiring comedy filmmakers can create the work they want to be hired to make. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Whit Conway discuss... How Whit's previous collaborations with director Marty Schousboe led to Never Change! Why the film's budget and delivery schedule required editing to begin during production Completing an initial assembly within a week of production wrapping Applying lessons from the fast-paced editorial workflows of Saturday Night Live and Joe Pera Talks With You Organizing footage into scene sequences and line-by-line collections of every performance How front-loading editorial organization saves time when producers request alternate takes Treating the first cut as a strong starting point rather than a version that must be protected Adjusting individual jokes by only a few frames and testing different reaction shots Preserving previous versions of scenes without formally tracking every editorial change Recognizing when a joke needs more work versus when the filmmakers have simply watched it too many times Using Premiere Pro's searchable speech-to-text transcripts to find improvised lines and specific takes Collaborating with directors who edit and directors who communicate their ideas conceptually Why strong directors know what they want while remaining open to better ideas from collaborators Managing creative disagreements, competing producer notes, and compressed deadlines How walks and time away from the edit room can help collaborators reset Why budget limitations ultimately determine when the filmmakers must put their pencils down Building a comedy-editing career by making long-form work, studying classic comedies, and creating projects with friends Treating unpaid personal projects as “extra credit” that can lead to new professional opportunities Memorable Quotes: “It is just my job to put the first version of the moment together as fast as I can and also be tickled by it.” “I think great directors do a couple of things. One, I think they know what they want. They know what the moment should be. Two, they are open and willing to see other versions of that moment.” “I think you don't have to have all the answers all the time.” “People understand you and know you through the work that you have done, that they have seen you do.” Guests: Whit Conway Resources: Watch Never Change! on Hulu Whit Conway's Website Adobe Premiere Speech to Text How These SNL Editors Cut an Emmy-Nominated Sketch With 60+ VFX Shots in 2 Days Cutting Comedy: Inside the Edit of Saturday Night Live's 50th Anniversary Field Producing on Last Week Tonight & Tackling Vimeo's EU/UK Problem Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Player development starts long before players step onto the pitch. In this episode, Gary Curneen sits down with Herman Ottosson, Technical Director at Mjällby AIF Academy in Sweden, to explore one of the most innovative coach development environments in European football. Rather than relying on rigid curriculums or copied training sessions, Herman explains how Mjällby develops adaptable coaches, creates ownership with players, and builds an academy culture centered around reflection, accountability, and continuous improvement. Topics include: Why coaches should design sessions around their own players—not YouTube drills. Building development environments instead of chasing results. Relative freedom versus fixed curriculums. The Ballon d'Or Project and player ownership. Video feedback for coaches and players. Creating honest conversations through IDPs. Coach education systems that actually change behavior. Why the best academies develop coaches first. Whether you're a technical director, academy coach, or club leader, this episode is packed with practical ideas that can transform your environment.

If you hired a chief of staff to be your leadership team's star athlete, don't let them languish on the bench. At many organizations, chiefs of staff are meant to execute high-wire strategic work. But the job is often reduced to: glorified project management, executive cat-herding, and catering to the CEO's whims. They compensate for bad work design through effort and influence, carrying big expectations with no real authority. In this episode, Rodney and guest co-host, Sam Rothkopf, lay out the first move toward becoming an organization built to benefit from change: Recharter your chief of staff as the leadership team's work designer. They dig into the three jobs most chiefs of staff currently hold; why the role should serve teams, not single leaders; and the authority they need to put business strategy into motion and free up executives to do the work only they can do. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: Miraval Rosé Casamigos "built to benefit from change ep": AWWTR Ep. 52 "failure of the ways of working ep": AWWTR Ep. 50 Mia Wise 00:00 Intro + Check-In: Favorite Celebrity Endorsed Product 03:13 The chief of staff already exists, but does the wrong work 06:49 The chief of staff today: admin, project manager, influencer 11:02 Why chiefs of staff are prone to burnout 16:46 Chiefs of staff are everywhere in tech orgs, with no power 22:26 The reframe: serving the team, not the leader 25:44 Building your “shelves” 28:57 Operationalizing strategy, for real 32:47 Playing “favorites' around who is leading the strategy 37:21 The CEO's first hire 42:07 The authority the role actually needs 46:07 Tooling, comms, and where the team does its work 49:17 Wrap: more moves next week Sound engineering and design by Taylor Marvin of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coupe Studios⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this episode, Wes Cobb reflects on his career at JLJ, a leading critical infrastructure construction company, and his journey from field operations to project management, finance, and ultimately CEO in 2022. He discusses JLJ's specialized work renovating and upgrading mission-critical facilities, including data centers, hospitals, and telecommunications sites where uninterrupted power and cooling are essential. Cobb shares how the company's rapid growth exposed gaps in its leadership structure, prompting the creation of an executive leadership team, clearer organizational roles, regular leadership meetings, and a structured superintendent training program. He also offers candid insights into his own leadership evolution, emphasizing the importance of having difficult conversations, empowering others instead of micromanaging, and focusing on strategic direction. Looking ahead, Cobb outlines JLJ's commitment to strengthening its systems, expanding its capacity, and achieving sustainable growth while maintaining the quality and consistency that define the company.

In this episode of The Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Marcus Ridgway, founder of F6 Partners and co-founder of Invitation Homes, for a fireside chat on attracting institutional capital at scale, building frameworks that earn the trust of the world's largest investors, and why extreme conservatism - not big risk - is what created one of the most impressive real estate track records in the country. Marcus shares how building institutional-grade systems from day one led to Blackstone wiring $35 million before a single document was signed, and how they ultimately scaled that relationship to $1 billion - all because the architecture, software, and reporting were airtight from the start. The conversation dives into risk mitigation frameworks, optionality as an insurance policy against volatility, the mindset shift from hustle to architecture, what separates centimillionaires from founders who never scale, and why Marcus believes fat tail risk is the defining challenge facing every investor in the years ahead. Topics covered include: Securing $4 billion from Blackstone and taking Invitation Homes public on the NYSE Why institutional investors never look at IRR - only downside risk Building architecture that creates returns vs. relying on hustle to create results Why exactness and transparency with institutional capital is non-negotiable Creating an investment committee even for a single house purchase How a cold call from an industry researcher led directly to Blackstone Optionality as an insurance policy against volatility Returning $200 million to an investor when the strategy no longer made sense Offshoring decisions so the business doesn't depend on one person Separating ego and identity from outcomes as a founder Student housing and senior housing as the top opportunities right now Fat tail risk - why black swan events are increasing in frequency and what to do about it How conservative structuring, not big bets, built a billion-dollar platform The Capital Raiser Show brings together billionaire investors, family offices, elite entrepreneurs, and capital allocators to discuss investing, scaling, strategic growth, and wealth creation.

Niels Kaastrup-Larsen and Nick Baltas explore how artificial intelligence, thematic investing and narrative momentum are beginning to reshape systematic investing. Alongside a review of recent CTA performance, they discuss new research on expanding trend following universes, defensive portfolio construction and portable alpha before taking a deep dive into the growing role of AI and thematic risk models. The conversation examines whether future investment signals may come from more than price alone and how systematic investors can combine traditional trend following with new sources of information without losing the discipline that has defined the strategy for decades.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Nick on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - AI, memories and the changing pace of innovation06:32 - How investment firms are integrating artificial intelligence13:01 - CTA performance and the trend following environment20:34 - Expanding the market universe for trend followers28:17 - Building the perfect hedge with trend following34:25 - Portable alpha and leveraging trend strategies37:44 - Introducing thematic investing and missing factors44:59 - How narratives create momentum in financial markets50:43 - Measuring thematic strength versus price momentum58:41 - Can thematic investing be backtested?01:04:14 - Are narratives really different from traditional sectors?01:07:06 - Final thoughts on AI, research and the future of systematic investingCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Bonds are supposed to be the brakes in a portfolio—but should those brakes be BND, a shorter-term fund, CDs, or a Treasury ladder? Don explains why duration, yield stability, and personal comfort make the answer more nuanced than one ticker.The Friday questions keep coming: pairing AVGE with VT, moving $5 million from real estate into a retirement portfolio, understanding an emerging-markets fund that became legally non-diversified, and building 529s for grandchildren.The final stretch is all planning: Roth conversions and IRMAA, choosing a HELOC over a 401(k) loan, and resisting the urge to let the tax tail wag the retirement dog.00:00 A full inbox of financial questions02:30 BND versus short bonds, CDs, and Treasury ladders06:45 AVGE plus VT—or unnecessary overlap?10:23 Moving $5 million from real estate into markets14:51 When an index fund becomes legally non-diversified18:18 Building 529s and Roth head starts for grandchildren22:16 Roth conversions, RMDs, and IRMAA25:23 HELOC or 401(k) loan for renovations?28:01 The tax tail and a long Roth-conversion planQuestions?

When a leader says, “Our marketing isn't working,” most people immediately start changing tactics. Dave Mastovich believes the real problem usually begins much earlier: the company has never clearly defined what “working” actually means. How do you cut through ambiguity, align your leadership team, and build marketing that drives authentic, measurable growth? Dave believes the answer starts with clarity around your story, your target audience, and the reasons your customers choose you. In this episode of Insight Out, I sit down with Dave Mastovich, founder of MASSolutions and author of No Bullshit Marketing. Dave has helped organizations ranging from $3 million businesses to $13 billion companies strengthen their marketing, leadership, and growth strategies. His experience includes helping UPMC grow from under $1 billion to $10 billion in just three years. Throughout our conversation, Dave explains why leadership teams often give completely different answers when asked what makes their company unique, and how that lack of alignment creates confusion throughout the organization. He breaks down the difference between your company's “why” and your customer's “why,” showing why both are essential to building a message that truly resonates. Dave also reveals the six right-fit target markets most businesses overlook, why referral marketing should be treated as a repeatable system rather than a passive source of leads, and how asking referral partners one simple question can expose whether they truly understand your business. We explore why ambiguity quietly breeds mediocrity, how companies can equip referral sources with better stories, and why marketing and sales should be treated as distinct disciplines.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell explores one of the most common themes to emerge from nearly 2,000 podcast episodes: identity. Drawing on conversations with entrepreneurs, athletes, and high performers—including Bonnie Schutz, John Salley, Brendan Schaub, and Tanner Chidester—Travis explains why the people who successfully reinvent themselves don't define themselves by a single job title. Instead, they build an identity rooted in their values, allowing them to embrace change, pursue purpose, and confidently step into new opportunities. On this episode we talk about: Why tying your identity to your career can keep you stuck Lessons from entrepreneurs and athletes who successfully reinvented themselves How purpose-driven career changes lead to greater fulfillment and well-being Why being good at something doesn't mean you have to do it forever Practical ways to separate who you are from what you do Top 3 Takeaways Your career is something you do—not who you are. Building your identity around your values instead of your job title makes it easier to adapt and grow. Reinvention requires letting go of certainty. The most fulfilling opportunities often come after you're willing to leave a familiar identity behind. Long-term fulfillment comes from pursuing meaningful work, not simply achieving external goals or financial milestones. Notable Quotes "This is what I want to do. This is not who I am, but who I am makes me better at what I do." "Just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to do it." "Don't let your current sense of identity become the anchor that keeps you in a life that no longer serves you."

In this episode of Agents of Recovery, Coach Blu and Coach Wendell explore the difference between stopping an addictive behavior and beginning the deeper work of healing. Recovery may start with abstinence, honesty, accountability, and daily choices but healing asks a fuller question: What pain, unmet need, fear, or protective pattern made escape feel necessary in the first place?Together, they unpack how addiction can become a survival strategy for people who learned early to suppress emotions, perform for approval, stay hyper-independent, or believe their needs were a burden. The conversation examines the “inner child” not as a cliché, but as the younger part of us that still carries unmet needs for safety, belonging, protection, comfort, play, and being seen. When those needs remain unnamed, they can quietly drive adult patterns of secrecy, compulsive behavior, disconnection, anger, shame, and the belief that relief must be earned or escaped into.Coach Blu and Coach Wendell discuss the shift from fighting yourself to becoming curious about yourself. Instead of asking, “What is wrong with me?” listeners are invited to ask, “What has this behavior been trying to do for me?” That question does not excuse harm or remove responsibility. It creates a more honest path toward accountability one that addresses both the choices a person must own and the wounds that deserve care.The episode also highlights why recovery cannot be sustained in isolation. Addiction grows in secrecy; healing requires safe connection. Through community, mentorship, honest conversations, practical accountability, and the willingness to let others witness the real story, people can begin replacing shame-based survival with belonging and self-trust. Listeners will hear why asking for help is not weakness, why vulnerability needs wise boundaries, and why repeated small actions often create more change than a single emotional breakthrough.This conversation is for anyone who has achieved progress in recovery but still feels disconnected from themselves, trapped in old emotional reactions, or unsure how to build a life that feels meaningful beyond simply “not using.” It offers a compassionate and practical invitation to move beyond the finish line of abstinence and into the ongoing work of becoming whole.Chapters00:00 Introduction and episode overview01:07 Meet the hosts and setting the scene02:16 Understanding recovery versus healing03:08 Why stopping behaviors isn't enough04:09 The importance of addressing root causes05:32 Leaning into curiosity about inner needs06:39 The roots of addiction and emotional pain08:04 Healing as a process of strength and growth10:41 Going deeper: understanding the inner child12:18 The significance of childhood experiences14:44 Permission to need and emotional validation17:11 Connecting with the inner child at different ages19:34 The importance of community and support22:03 The role of vulnerability and safe spaces25:32 The power of curiosity over judgment30:45 Loneliness as a trigger for relapse33:39 Breaking the cycle of shame and isolation36:21 Celebrating progress and self-awareness39:00 The journey of self-discovery and authenticity43:36 The importance of parts work and self-acceptance48:02 Building resilience through community and self-compassion52:29 Creating your unique recovery path53:38 Closing thoughts and encouragement for listenersJoin Coach Blu and Team Addict II Athlete and begin your recovery with a tram behind you! https://www.skool.com/addict-ii-athlete-5988/about?ref=9090e81114674311874340c02b1095d0

In this week's episode of the podcast, the conversation focused on the critical role of home environment and systems in supporting executive function—especially for neurodivergent families. It's not about Pinterest-perfect organization, but about designing spaces and routines that work with your brain, not against it. Key Takeaways Design Over Discipline: Many executive function challenges are solved through smart environment design, not just motivation or checklists. Moving decisions from the brain into the environment can reduce overwhelm and increase independence. Zones Make Life Easier: Creating dedicated zones—like reading nooks, creative spaces, launch zones near exits, and recharge corners—helps reduce cognitive load and makes daily transitions smoother. Visible, Forgiving Systems Win: The discussion explored the power of visual cues (checklists, labels, color coding) over constant verbal reminders. Systems should be simple, obvious, and evolve as your family's needs change.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Litzy talks with Dr. Karen DeSimone, physical therapist and owner of KD360 Wellness and Physical Therapy, about building a hybrid practice that combines insurance-based care with cash-based wellness services. Karen shares how she shifted from treating visits to delivering outcomes, why that change helped her reduce burnout, and how other clinic owners can apply a similar model without adding staff, locations, or more marketing spend. Why it works: outcome-focused messaging makes the value feel concrete and emotionally compelling, which helps listeners see the episode as a practical solution to a problem they already feel. Key topics covered: ·       Why declining reimbursements pushed Karen to rethink her business model ·       The difference between treating visits and treating outcomes ·       How to introduce cash-based services without abandoning insurance ·       Why fewer patients and fewer visits can lead to better results ·       How to have confident, patient-centered conversations about pricing ·       Why the model works for solopreneurs and small clinics ·       The mindset shift needed to step off the insurance treadmill Timestamps: ·       0:01 — Welcome to the Healthy, Wealthy, and Smart Podcast and the episode's focus on healthcare and business ·       0:29 — Karen DeSimone's background and the shift toward an outcome-based model ·       1:53 — What drove Karen to build a new model ·       2:54 — Why she stacked cash-based services on top of physical therapy ·       4:58 — How to talk to patients about cash-based care ·       6:43 — How those conversations happen in practice ·       8:09 — Why this model can work for other areas like knee pain and surgery avoidance ·       9:29 — What is included in the cash-based offering ·       11:25 — Bundling services into one package instead of adding visits ·       12:32 — Building profitable programs from existing patients ·       13:25 — Why this approach can work without more marketing ·       14:56 — Why she did not want a larger business or more locations ·       16:40 — Why clinicians should think beyond growth for growth's sake ·       18:39 — The difference between selling and serving ·       19:46 — Why it should never feel like a hard sell ·       20:27 — Building conviction and confidence through repeatable outcomes ·       21:46 — Practicing how to talk about pricing ·       23:03 — How to keep patients moving forward in a 12-week program ·       24:30 — Long-term results and patient return visits ·       25:03 — Deciding who the model is right for ·       26:42 — Why timing matters in the clinical conversation ·       28:49 — The first shift: decide ·       31:49 — Who can implement this model ·       33:51 — Lightning round: money beliefs, metrics, and burnout advice ·       36:47 — What Karen is doing to stay healthy, wealthy, and smart ·       37:30 — Where to find Karen and learn more ·       38:24 — Free starter framework for clinicians ·       39:12 — Final encouragement to share the episode Notable takeaways: ·       "We're not treating visits, we're delivering outcomes." ·       Cash-based services can be stacked on top of physical therapy to improve results and revenue. ·       Patients often pay for faster outcomes when the value is clearly explained. ·       The first step is a decision: choose the model you want, then commit to it. ·       Confidence comes from repeatable results, not from perfect wording. Resources & Links: ·      Clinical Architecture Website ·      KD 360 PT and Wellness ·      Instagram ·      LinkedIn ·      Free Gift: The Freedom From Back Pain Starter Framework, More About Karen: Karen DeSimone, PT, DPT, has practiced physical therapy for 26 years. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the MGH Institute of Health Professions, began her career at Massachusetts General Hospital, and in 2009 opened KD360 Wellness & Physical Therapy in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, where she still practices today. A solo clinician running a hybrid cash and insurance model, she helps clients avoid surgery and heal faster using a structured, outcome-driven program. After years inside the insurance-based model, Karen reached a hard conclusion: you can't build a successful system on a broken model. So she built her own: a defined clinical pathway with enrolled patients and predictable outcomes. That pathway became the Freedom From Back Pain Clinical Success System, the online implementation program she now teaches through her company, Clinical Architecture, helping other PT clinic owners deliver the same cash-based care inside their own practices, without adding new patients, staff, or marketing. Her work centers on one principle: we're not treating visits, we're delivering outcomes.

AI can crunch a portfolio, harvest losses, and explain an investment concept in seconds. But can it stop a nervous investor from selling at exactly the wrong moment—or understand the life behind the spreadsheet?Tom and Don test the robot-advisor promise, even asking ChatGPT to weigh in. The verdict is a useful division of labor: let technology handle repeatable mechanics, while human judgment, fiduciary responsibility, and behavior coaching remain hard to automate.Then the questions get wonderfully strange: whether a 0.70% advisory fee earns its keep, how a concentrated tech fund hides risk behind a huge return, whether a $100 million Bitcoin Roth story adds up, and how to invest an inherited account.00:00 Are AI advisors coming for financial planners?03:06 ChatGPT offers its own cautious verdict04:14 Where automation helps—and where humans matter09:36 What investors should ask their advisory firms12:10 Is a 0.70% advisor fee earning its keep?16:50 The concentrated tech fund with a dazzling record21:12 A purported $100 million Bitcoin Roth25:22 Building an inherited-account portfolioQuestions?

Loneliness isn't just an emotional challenge—it may be one of the biggest hidden threats to your health, happiness, and long-term success. In this solo episode, Travis Chappell unpacks one of the most recurring themes from past podcast conversations, drawing heavily on insights from relationship expert Dr. John Delony. Backed by research, personal experience, and public health data, Travis explores the difference between loneliness and social isolation, why success doesn't guarantee meaningful relationships, and the practical steps you can take to build deeper connections. On this episode we talk about: The critical difference between loneliness and social isolation—and why both matter Why networking and professional success can't replace genuine friendships The surprising research linking loneliness to higher mortality and poor physical health How social media can create the illusion of connection while increasing isolation Practical strategies for building stronger relationships with yourself and others Top 3 Takeaways Loneliness is a serious health risk that deserves the same urgency as other major wellness issues—it impacts both mental and physical health. Building a healthier relationship with yourself is often the first step toward overcoming chronic feelings of loneliness. Strong friendships outside of work and family aren't optional—they're essential for living a healthier, more fulfilling life. Notable Quotes "We're dying of loneliness." "Not having friends is worse than having a drug problem. You have to treat it with that level of seriousness." "Social media is TV dinners—it'll keep you alive until it kills you."

SUMMARY   The current chapter of dad life is not the whole story. In part two of the DadAwesome Multipliers summer series, Jeff reads Chapter 2 of the DadAwesome book, The Tale of Two Thieves, and unpacks what a three dozen cookie dough heist taught him about choosing curiosity instead of reactivity. Then Phil Comer joins with a powerful clip on giving a blessing instead of returning evil for evil, and how one choice in a tense room trickles down for generations. This episode closes with clear reflection, multiplication, and activation steps you can take this week.   Key Takeaways You are living into a multigenerational story, and this chapter is only a tiny slice of it. Curiosity opens doors. Reactivity closes them. You cannot eliminate chaos, but you can shape how it unfolds. Stones of remembrance are about keeping the stories alive, not preserving the reminders. Giving a blessing when you have received a criticism changes the atmosphere of a room. Action Steps REFLECTION Look back at the chaos. When curveballs hit recently, were you reacting or responding? Were you making assumptions or staying curious and asking God what He wanted to teach you in that moment? Open your phone and look back at the last month. Scroll your photos, scroll your calendar. Where has God shown up that you have not paused long enough to call to mind? Ask the honest question. If your kids described the atmosphere you carry into the room right now, would tenderness make the list? Would softness? Would kindness? MULTIPLICATION Send the text. Reach out to seven or eight dads and invite them to journey with you through the end of August. If two or three say yes, you have moved from addition to multiplication. Pick your gathering. A text thread, a campfire, a boat, a camping trip with your kids. Make one specific invite this week. Carry a copy. Keep an extra DadAwesome book in your vehicle or your laptop bag and look for the moment to hand it to a dad and tell him you see him being awesome. ACTIVATION Start a family remembrance list. Sit down together, scroll photos and your calendar, and capture the answered prayers, the provision, the goodness, the moments God showed up. Let every kid contribute. Tell the stories out loud. At the dinner table or at bedtime, tell your kids one story of God's faithfulness in your family. Flip the switch this week. The next time a curveball comes, choose curiosity first. Laugh at the moment. Show your kids that dad is anchored and steady, not thrown off.   Timestamps 03:00 This week's theme is story 04:00 Chapter 2, The Tale of Two Thieves 06:24 React or respond, curiosity or reactivity 08:49 The Dad Detective's approach, five practices 11:11 Crafting your family's story 12:45 Stones of remembrance 14:30 Building your family's remembrance list 18:21 Remember this 19:20 Setting up the Phil Comer clip 20:20 Phil Comer on tenderness, blessing, and the choices we pass down 26:45 Action steps: reflection, multiplication, activation Guest Phil Comer is a husband, father, and grandfather with 40 years of pastoral and counseling experience.

"You can't eliminate chaos, but you can shape how it unfolds." "Your kids are watching how you handle the unexpected. What story are you writing?" "It's not about preserving the physical reminders. It's about keeping the stories alive." Phil Comer: "If you, with God's help, can give a blessing when you've received a criticism or a curse, it brings peace and it honors God."

You don't have to buy your first rental property—you can build one instead. Newer systems, fewer repairs, and that “brand new” feeling that tenants may pay more rent for. But…is it worth it? Building a small multifamily in a single-family area could let you house hack and own a rare property in your market, but is the headache worth the effort? With more and more investors choosing to build rather than buy, we thought we'd weigh in. Dave and Henry are back answering your questions from the BiggerPockets Forums. Today, we're talking about building vs. buying rentals, when an investment property is too old to be worth buying, the lender-friendly rehab budget Henry uses to get loans for his BRRRRs (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) and house flips, and whether wholesalers (middlemen) are worth buying properties from. Plus, if you're house hacking, should you tell the tenant you're the owner? Dave tried to hide it before, and shares whether it was worth it.  In This Episode We Cover Building vs. buying rental properties: is the time (and effort) worth the upside?  Renovating an older rental property? This build decade could be best  Henry's exact renovation budget he shares with lenders to get fast financing  Are wholesalers worth their assignment fee? When we will and won't buy from them Should you tell your tenants that you're the owner (what happens if they find out?) And So Much More!

Want to launch a premium, high-margin consumable brand and work with us to bring it to market? Get on the waitlist for our next cohort: ► Capitalism.com Bootcamp: https://capitalism.com/bootcamp I sat down with Djamel, the co-founder of Organifi, who grew a superfoods brand from $1 million to $100 million in about four years. We break down exactly how it happened: a premium, high-margin product, affiliates paid 75% commissions when the rest of the industry paid 5%, customer data poured into Facebook ads, and the team and systems that turned a scrappy launch into a nine-figure business. None of this was an accident. It was manufactured, and you get the whole playbook. (0:00) The $1M to $100M question, with Organifi's co-founder (1:00) Where it started: Drew Canole and the done-for-you green juice (3:00) Going out of business: the data-driven Hail Mary launch (4:00) The decision that set them apart: making it actually taste good (6:00) Sold out in three days, and presales became a crowdsourced capital raise (7:00) Building the whole thing on Infusionsoft, before Shopify existed (8:00) The takeaway so far: build a small audience and aim for a $10K launch (9:00) The first million saves the company, then the audience taps out (11:00) ClickBank comes calling: first supplement, and the launch that blew up (14:00) Influencer marketing before it had a name, and the TikTok Shop parallel (15:00) The 75% commission unlock: pay affiliates like digital, win on the back end (17:00) How aggressive commissions took them to $5 million (18:00) Turning customer data into Facebook ads that scaled them toward $20 million (20:00) Why did everything work? The numbers made sense (22:00) Why margin matters: build a premium brand and race to the top (23:00) The hate for a $70 greens powder, and why premium customers are easier (25:00) Building the movement: community as the premium moat (29:00) From $20 million to $100 million: becoming a real operational business (30:00) Stacking traffic channels, and the podcast-ad advice that opened a new one (33:00) The systems behind the scale: EOS, OKRs, KPIs, and dashboards (34:00) Becoming a leader: from wrecking ball to human (37:00) The two hires that mattered most: his CMO and COO (41:00) Incentive plans: phantom stock valued against the future goal (44:00) Walking away from capital three times, and the "bladder rule of finance" (46:00) The chaos behind the scenes: algorithm swings, lost influencers, tight cash (48:00) Exiting without selling: replacing himself, burnout, and rediscovery (50:00) His $1M-to-$100M playbook: data, team, problem-solving (52:00) The belief you have to manufacture (55:00) Why the entrepreneur bug never leaves DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this podcast and the resources available for download/viewing through this podcast for educational and informational purposes only.

Charlie McGarraugh joins Moritz Seibert to discuss how systematic investing is evolving beyond traditional trend following. Drawing on experience from Goldman Sachs, crypto and machine learning, Charlie explains why adaptive portfolios, capital efficiency and smarter position sizing may become the defining advantages for the next generation of macro investors. They explore the rise of managed futures ETFs, China's growing futures markets, the trade off between diversification and simplicity, and why portfolio construction often matters more than finding the next predictive signal. It is a thoughtful conversation about where systematic investing may be heading next.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Moritz on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Why position sizing may matter more than return prediction01:03 - Charlie McGarra's journey from Goldman Sachs to Altis Partners09:03 - The history of Altis Partners and its evolution beyond trend following11:19 - Building a multi factor macro strategy around trend16:02 - Why adaptive investing is becoming increasingly important21:49 - The growth of managed futures ETFs and reaching new investors25:27 - Designing ETFs for diversification and capital efficiency30:30 - Why Chinese commodity futures offer unique opportunities40:41 - New ideas around leverage and capital efficiency42:37 - Kelly sizing, drawdowns and maximizing long term returnsCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

How do we align the rapid, exponential rise of artificial intelligence with humanity's best interests before we reach a point of no return? In this classic throwback episode from our old Edge of AI Podcast, we sit down with tech visionary Eric Pulier, a prolific technologist who has founded over 15 companies, raised more than $1 billion, and led exits from IPOs to major mergers.In this deep dive, Eric explores his leadership roles as Co-Chair of the AI Coalition at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute and CEO of Vatom. He outlines the global push for AI ethics, the looming existential threats of synthetic biology and mass deepfakes, and why preserving human culture in local AI models is crucial to preventing algorithmic erasure.Eric also reflects on inventing the "Vatom" (the virtual atom) in early 2015, the precursor to modern smart NFTs, and explains why self-sovereign identity, tokenized real-world assets, and human-first connection will dictate the next generation of the internet.Support us through our Sponsors! ☕ Want to make content like ours?
