Raised on a farm surrounded by multiple generations of family, including his farmer grandfather, Drew Baldridge learned early that hard work, grit, and persistence matter. When Nashville wouldn’t book him or sign him, he created his own path—playing backyard concerts and building his fanbase from the ground up. That farmer mentality took him from backyard shows to chart-topping success and tours with Jelly Roll and Luke Bryan. Now a husband and father of two, Drew is celebrating the values that shaped him with his new album, Farm Faith Family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the business you built for more freedom started feeling like another full-time job? When Renee left corporate America, she already had an incredibly successful career as a dietitian, author, professor, consultant, and media expert. But even after building a multiple six-figure consulting business, she found herself working 50+ hours a week, juggling custom projects, and realizing the flexibility she wanted still wasn't there. In this episode, Renee shares how she began shifting from overworked consultant to scalable business owner. We talk about getting clear on her niche, creating more relatable content, and launching her first group program, the Women's Gut Health Method. After years of relying heavily on consulting and one-on-one work, Renee is now building an offer that allows her to serve more women without continually adding more hours to her schedule. We also talk about the mindset shift from practitioner to CEO, why Renee had to become more comfortable selling and showing her personality online, and how stronger boundaries, delegation, and focusing on the right needle movers have changed the way she works. She's building a business that still uses her expertise but gives her more space for herself, her family, and the life she actually wants. In this episode, I cover: Why Renee left corporate America and eventually outgrew her consulting model How a successful business can still become another version of the 9-to-5 Why getting specific about her niche strengthened Renee's messaging The shift from polished expert content to more relatable, personal content How better messaging started generating organic program applications What Renee learned from launching her first group program Why starting with a minimum viable product made launching less overwhelming How she's moving away from one-on-one work toward scalable revenue The mindset shift from practitioner and consultant to CEO How boundaries, delegation, and time blocking have created more freedom Why focusing on one needle mover at a time has helped Renee grow How she's building a business that supports her career, family, and future goals Connect with Dr. Renee Korczak: Instagram: @dr.reneekrd Website: https://drreneekorczak.com/ To receive my weekly newsletter with more business, marketing, and entrepreneurship insights, send me the word "newsletter" in a DM.

Paying off your mortgage can feel like one of the clearest signs of financial freedom. I understand the appeal. For many families, that monthly payment represents pressure, obligation, and dependence on someone else. That is exactly why Velocity Banking can sound so compelling. Use a home equity line of credit to attack the mortgage balance, run your income through the line, reduce the total interest you pay, and get the house paid off faster. On paper, the math can work. That is not really where Bruce and I disagree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6N3lnog3PY What I want you to look at is what happens to your control of capital while you are doing it. A HELOC gives you access to credit under a bank's contract and lending rules. Infinite Banking starts from a different premise: build capital first, then use the policy's loan provision to access capital against what you have already built. Both strategies can involve borrowing. Both require disciplined behavior. But they are not the same financial system. And I want to say this up front: we are not anti-HELOC. A HELOC can be a useful financial tool. The purpose of this conversation is not to tell you that using one is automatically wrong. It is to help you see the structural tradeoffs clearly, especially if you are thinking about making a HELOC the center of your banking strategy. When you are thinking beyond one transaction, about the opportunities you want to pursue, the people you want to provide for, and the financial strength you want to build for your family, that distinction matters. Key TakeawaysWhat Velocity Banking Actually DoesPaying Less Interest Is Not the Only Financial ObjectiveA HELOC Gives You Access to Credit. That Is Not the Same as Controlling Capital.Home Equity Is Valuable, but It Is Not Liquid CapitalWhat Infinite Banking ChangesThe Ownership Question MattersA Different Way to Think About Paying Off the MortgageThe HELOC Draw Period Deserves Attention From the BeginningInfinite Banking Has Tradeoffs TooThe Bigger Question Is Who Controls the Capital Key Takeaways Velocity Banking can accelerate mortgage payoff, but the HELOC itself does not create the savings. Your cash flow and additional principal reduction do the work. Home equity is a real asset, but it is not the same as liquid capital. Turning it into spendable cash requires a sale or another financing decision. A HELOC gives you access to bank credit. Your continued access to unused credit remains subject to the lender's contract and applicable rules. Infinite Banking requires capitalization first. Policy loans charge interest and have to be managed responsibly. Our preference for Infinite Banking is about building a capital system around liquidity, contractual guarantees, long-range behavior, and control, not pretending every bank loan is bad. Before you ask how fast you can eliminate your mortgage, ask what position your capital will be in while you are getting there. DimensionHELOC (Velocity Banking)Infinite BankingWhere the capital comes fromA bank's credit line against your home equityCapital you build first inside a participating whole life policyGetting access to itThe bank approves the line; access to unused credit stays subject to the lender's contract and rulesThe policy's loan provision, based on the contract and available loan value — not income, credit score, or home valueWho controls continued accessThe lender, which may freeze or reduce the line in defined circumstances (per the CFPB)You, within the terms of the policy you ownCost of borrowingCommonly a variable rate that can change over timePolicy-loan interest (not free money); an unpaid loan can reduce the death benefitLiquidity of the underlying assetHome equity is real but not spendable until you sell, refinance, or borrow against itA capital base designed to stay liquid, accessible, and deployableUnderwriting each time you use itSet when the line is established; future refinancing depends on conditions at that timeNo bank-style underwriting each time you use the loan provisionYour relationship to the institutionYou are the bank's customerYou participate in a mutual insurer as an eligible policyholder (dividends are non-guaranteed)The main tradeoff to weighAccess can tighten at exactly the moment you need itYou must capitalize the policy first, and give it timeHELOC vs. Infinite Banking at a glance What Velocity Banking Actually Does Velocity Banking uses a revolving line of credit, often a HELOC, as part of a mortgage-payoff strategy. The basic mechanics are straightforward. You open a HELOC against available equity in your home. You use some of that credit to reduce or replace mortgage debt. Then you direct income into the HELOC and use the line again for living expenses. If more cash flows into the line than flows back out, the balance declines. That can reduce the total interest you pay and shorten the payoff timeline. But here is the part I do not want you to miss: your surplus cash flow is paying down principal. The HELOC changes the path the money takes. It does not create the surplus. Bruce said it very simply in our conversation: your behavior is more important than the strategy. If your income is steady, your spending stays disciplined, rates cooperate, and you follow the plan consistently, the model can look very compelling. But life is not an illustration. Income changes. Businesses have slow seasons. Families face expenses they did not plan for. And sometimes an opportunity shows up at exactly the moment you were not expecting it. That is why I want a financial strategy to be evaluated by more than how it performs when everything goes perfectly. I also want to know what options it leaves you when life does not follow the spreadsheet. Paying Less Interest Is Not the Only Financial Objective One of the strongest arguments for Velocity Banking is something we actually agree with in principle: the interest rate by itself does not tell you the total cost. A higher rate on a balance that falls quickly can, in some circumstances, produce less total interest than a lower rate carried for decades. Looking only at the rate can give you an incomplete picture. But looking only at interest saved can do the same thing. I understand why people see the amount of interest on a long mortgage schedule and immediately think, "I need to get rid of this as fast as possible." That reaction makes sense. Nobody is trying to pay a bank more interest than necessary. The question I want you to add is: what else is happening to that dollar while you are paying down the house? Every extra dollar of principal you put into the four walls of your home increases your equity, but that dollar is no longer liquid. To turn home equity back into spendable cash, you have to sell, refinance, or borrow against the property. There is also an opportunity cost. Could that same dollar have strengthened your reserves? Funded your business? Put you in position for an investment opportunity? Built capital somewhere that remained accessible to your family? A paid-off home may absolutely be part of your financial plan and part of your legacy. But so is the financial capacity you preserve along the way. For me, that is the bigger conversation. We are not simply trying to win an interest calculation. We want each decision to strengthen the whole financial system. A HELOC Gives You Access to Credit. That Is Not the Same as Controlling Capital. This is the distinction at the center of the episode. When you have a HELOC, a bank has agreed to extend credit to you against the equity in your home. That credit can be incredibly useful, but it is still a lending relationship. The bank decides whether you qualify when the line is established. Your available credit exists under the agreement, the value of the collateral, and the lending rules that apply to the account. HELOCs also commonly have variable interest rates, so the cost of borrowing can change over time. Some products offer fixed-rate features, but the details depend on the lender and the contract. The other issue is access. An unused credit line is not the same thing as cash you already control. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau explains that a lender may freeze additional advances or reduce a HELOC in certain circumstances, such as a significant decline in the home's value or a material change in the borrower's financial condition. That does not mean a bank can simply demand repayment of every HELOC whenever it wants. Bruce was careful about that distinction in our conversation, and I want to be just as careful here. It means your continued access to unused credit is not entirely yours to decide. If your financial strategy depends on that line staying open and available, that matters. You are still a customer of someone else's bank. Home Equity Is Valuable, but It Is Not Liquid Capital Owning more of your home is not a bad thing. A paid-off home can be a meaningful goal. But we need to distinguish between having equity and having capital you can deploy. Your home's equity is real. The house is an asset. But if you want to use that equity without selling the property, a lender usually has to become part of the decision again. That is why Bruce and I kept coming back to the image of money being stored inside the four walls of the house. You can put more money in by paying down principal. The harder question is how easily you can get that money back out when you need it, and on whose terms. If your primary financial objective is to pay off the house as fast as possible, you may be directing a large share of your available cash into an asset that is not immediately deployable. At the same time, you may be delaying your ability to build a capital base somewhere else. For me, financial freedom includes having capital that is growing,...

We're creating space for the brains behind the brands we love, and asking good questions along the way. The result is a deep dive into the how and why of brand-building, from blueprints to launch day, customers as community and the detours in between. big lessons, easy listening. In this episode of Read Receipt, Sean sits down with Stephanie Farsht, CEO and co-founder of Small Wonder, the luxury waterless hair care brand built on a powder-to-lather format that activates fresh in the shower. Stephanie's path to founder wasn't conventional. She spent 16 years at Target in innovation and strategy, then eight years teaching entrepreneurship at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, before teaming up with two co-founders to reinvent hair care around a simple idea: potent ingredients work best freshly activated, not sitting in water for months. She gets honest about the messy middle, the pre-dosed pod experiment that flopped with 100 testers, the bottle that clogged after two weeks, and why she still emails customers herself when they cancel. Along the way she shares hard-won lessons on product obsession, failing fast, raising on your own timeline, and building a mission-driven brand in a category most investors are walking away from. Tune in for an inside look at building a category-defining brand through relentless iteration, customer intimacy, and a refusal to ship anything less than the best product possible!

90 minutes of trip-hop and electronica, as the elusive SUED founder walks down memory lane. Everything is cyclical. Stick around long enough and what was new and thrilling, then gauche, comes back around, rediscovered by a generation seeing it with fresh eyes. The trip-hop revival of the 2020s is a neat example. But what does it sound like coming from someone who was there the first time? SW., AKA Stefan Wust, has an answer. The producer co-founded SUED in 2011 with SVN, a label whose hypnotic, stripped-back records arrived untitled and unannounced, and disappeared from Hard Wax just as quietly. For his RA Mix, he reaches back to those formative years, digging through trip-hop, breakbeat and electronica. Famously elusive, he explains in a rare Q&A below that the mix isn't a historical reconstruction but "an attempt to bring that memory back to life through my perspective today." Built from loops, delay and hard cuts, RA.1054 reassembles the music of his youth rather than filing it away. His Reminder series did the same for Detroit and Chicago; this goes somewhere he never has, to the trip-hop and downtempo end of the same decade. An excerpt of Rachmaninov's Liturgy of St John Chrysostom sets church-like choral vocals against decaying electronics from Twine and Gridlock, and of course it wouldn't be trip-hop without Tricky.

One month shy of five years. That is how long Big Trees MD ran on the electronic health record it opened with, and this month, that ended. Not because Dr. Maryal Concepcion went looking for something shinier, but because the terms under which her patients' data lived changed, and she could not accept them.In this solo episode, Dr. Concepcion documents the switch in real time from her rural Direct Primary Care practice in Arnold, California, which she owns with her husband, Dr. Jeremiah Fillo, and runs with a fully virtual team. No vendor names, on purpose. The names change. The framework does not.Built from The Toolkit's Battle of the EHRs issue, where over 200 DPC EHR users shared what they use and why, this episode walks through how to choose an electronic health record that grows with your practice instead of boxing you in:Why an EHR is the memory of your practice, and why the DPC version of this decision is nothing like the fee-for-service versionThe 10 categories to score every EHR on, from membership billing and charting speed to support quality and scalabilityThe 5 questions to ask before you switch, starting with "what problem am I really trying to solve?"How to run a demo on your terms: build a fake patient, count clicks out loud, ask about migration before features, and ask the question nobody asks, which is "how do I leave you?"Why you should research who owns the EHR company, especially as private equity and venture capital creep into Direct Primary CareRunning the real math: subscription, add-ons, switching costs, and exit costs over a three year horizon, plus what an hour of your life is actually worthThe hidden costs no spreadsheet captures: patient trust, the emotional weight of change, and the 90 day post-switch reality checkThings have changed since the Summer 2025 issue published, and the second Battle of the EHRs opens for voting in Q1.

We challenge the way we instinctively treat God's kingdom as a far-off heaven instead of a present reality that reshapes Monday through Saturday. We trace how Scripture moves us from awe and sorrow to active joy, so we fully serve God and fully experience his presence as the aroma of Christ. • the “More Than Saved” focus on assurance and why uncertainty limits Christian life • the question behind kingdom hope and why our minds default to heaven later • Colossians 1 and the finished reality of being delivered and transferred into the kingdom • partnering with God through fully serving and fully experiencing him • Romans 12 and the meaning of a living sacrifice as acceptance, presence, and aroma • the torn curtain, access to God, and believers as God's temple • sanctification as Spirit-driven change in mind, will, emotions, words, and body • Nehemiah 8 worship that ends with joy, generosity, and strength • gifts in the body and being willing instead of trying to be a “99”  If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.

Green Bay Greg has AI running through his entire business — ranking on Google, a mobile app, tools listening to every call. And he'll tell you straight up: none of it will save you. In this episode, Neil sits down with Green Bay Greg, one of the most tech-savvy agents in the business and the leader of a 14-agent independent brokerage doing over 450 transactions a year. Here's the twist: more than half of those deals still come from past clients and sphere, built on a decade of consistency, client events, and doing the mundane work most agents avoid. Greg is the rare tech expert who argues the tools aren't the point. AI is only valuable when it makes you a more efficient version of an agent who's already mastering the fundamentals — the calls, the matchmaking, the follow-up, the real customer service. Layer tech on top of that, and you become impossible to catch. Skip the fundamentals and buy tools to avoid them, and you get smoked. If you've ever felt behind on AI or buried in shiny objects, this episode is permission to double down on what actually works — and proof, from the most advanced tech agent Neil knows, that the fundamentals still win. If you want a business that's clear, consistent, and congruent with who you are, this one's for you.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jennifer Ledwith. Founder of Scholar Ready, discussed how families can successfully prepare for college while minimizing or eliminating student loan debt. Drawing from her personal experience of graduating from college with minimal debt and her work helping students earn scholarships since 2004, she shared practical strategies for test preparation, scholarship acquisition, college planning, and financial decision-making. The conversation focused on the growing cost of higher education, the dangers of excessive student loan borrowing, and the importance of early planning for both students and parents. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Help families understand how to reduce college costs. Educate parents about scholarships, student loans, and financial planning. Explain the importance of test preparation in securing scholarships. Provide a roadmap for students seeking debt-free college graduation. Raise awareness about common misconceptions surrounding college affordability. Discuss how AI is affecting student preparedness and scholarship applications. Key Takeaways 1. College Planning Should Start Early Jennifer emphasized that waiting until a student reaches senior year can limit scholarship opportunities. The ideal preparation process begins during: Middle school Freshman year Sophomore year Junior year Early preparation creates more options and stronger scholarship opportunities. 2. Scholarships Require More Than Good Grades According to Jennifer, successful scholarship candidates typically excel in three critical areas: Academic performance Standardized test scores Strong personal essays Families often focus on only one area while neglecting the others. 3. Student Loan Debt Can Be Avoided A central message of the interview is that many students can significantly reduce or avoid debt through strategic planning. This includes: Applying for scholarships early Understanding college costs Preparing for admissions exams Making financially sound college choices Jennifer built Scholar Ready specifically to help students accomplish those goals. 4. The Cost of College Requires Serious Financial Planning Jennifer compared paying for college to buying a home. She explained that families often spend months preparing for homeownership but approach college with far less planning despite similar costs. Her advice is to treat college as a major financial investment that requires preparation and professional guidance. 5. Not Every Expensive College Is the Best Financial Choice One of the myths Jennifer seeks to dispel is that private or out-of-state schools are always unaffordable. She explained that: Some private schools offer generous scholarships. Some out-of-state schools offer competitive aid packages. The actual cost may be lower than local options after scholarships are applied. Families should evaluate net cost rather than sticker price. 6. Parents Need Education Too Jennifer stressed that college planning isn't just for students. Parents need a clear understanding of: Scholarships Financial aid Loan options College affordability Long-term financial consequences Scholar Ready offers classes specifically designed to educate parents throughout the process. 7. Student Debt Is Becoming More Complex The interview explored changes in student lending and how borrowing limits can impact families. Jennifer noted that many students and parents are increasingly turning to private loans when federal aid falls short, often creating larger financial risks. 8. AI Can Become a Crutch Jennifer expressed concerns about students overusing artificial intelligence tools for writing assignments. While AI can support brainstorming and editing, excessive reliance can weaken: Writing skills Grammar skills Critical thinking Test performance Students eventually face standardized tests where AI cannot help them. 9. Standardized Tests Still Matter Despite changes in admissions practices, Jennifer believes strong SAT, ACT, and PSAT scores remain valuable, particularly when competing for scholarship dollars. Test preparation continues to play a significant role in scholarship success. 10. Different Families Need Different Solutions Scholar Ready offers multiple service options because every family enters the process with different: Timelines Goals Budgets Academic needs Jennifer believes effective college planning must be customized rather than one-size-fits-all. Key Themes Debt-Free College The interview centers on helping students graduate without burdensome student loan debt. Education as an Investment Jennifer encourages families to view college planning as a long-term financial strategy rather than a last-minute decision. Parent Involvement Parents play a crucial role in preparing students emotionally, academically, and financially. Preparation Creates Opportunity Students who prepare earlier gain access to more scholarship opportunities and better outcomes. Financial Literacy Understanding the financial side of higher education is just as important as academic preparation. Notable Quotes On Her Mission "I wanted to help students do the same thing that I did, which was to graduate from college with little to no student loan debt." On Rising College Costs "The household incomes are not keeping up with the rising cost of college." On College Planning "We need to take that same approach when it comes to college." On Scholarships "The grades, the essays and the test scores have to be on point." On Private Schools "Don't apply to a school out of state, don't apply to a private college because those colleges are going to be too much. No, not necessarily." On Scholarship Strategy "Do not start there. Start at the college or university." On AI "They've been using AI as a crutch." On Standardized Testing "There is no AI on the test." On Preparation "We're starting early." On Student Success "I am trying to pour that into my younger students." Success Highlights Founded Scholar Ready in 2004. Helped students earn scholarships and reduce college debt. Built a nationwide educational services company. Developed programs for both students and parents. Expanded services to include test preparation, essay coaching, and college planning. Studied personal financial planning and became a Certified Financial Planner to better serve families. Bottom Line Jennifer Ledwith's interview provides a practical roadmap for families seeking a more affordable path to higher education. Her message is clear: the rising cost of college requires intentional planning, early preparation, and informed decision-making. Through scholarship strategies, academic preparation, parent education, and financial literacy, students can significantly reduce debt and increase their opportunities for long-term success. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Coaching advice almost always starts with, “It depends.” In this special Ask the Coaches episode, Don and Scott take away that safety net by forcing Ian Sharman, Hal Koerner, and Ellie Greenwood to make definitive choices on some of trail running's biggest debates. Is it better to be undertrained or overtrained? Should you trust data or your instincts? Would you add mileage or strength training? Can motivation be taught? Along the way, the coaches reveal not only their philosophies, but also the surprising amount of agreement behind them. Beneath the conversation emerges a consistent message: sustainable training, learning to listen to your body, and developing good judgment matter far more than chasing perfect numbers. It's entertaining, occasionally chaotic, and full of coaching wisdom every trail runner can apply.

Instant Hydration: Timestamps 00:00 | The Rules: No “It Depends” The coaches are forced to choose between two coaching philosophies before explaining their reasoning. 04:00 | Training Smarter vs. Training Harder Should runners prioritize perfect execution or simply never miss a workout? The coaches debate consistency, intensity, and long-term improvement. 21:00 | Undertrained or Overtrained? The panel discusses why arriving healthy, rested, and mentally excited may be more valuable than squeezing in one more week of training. 29:00 | Mileage or Strength Training? With limited training time, the coaches debate whether extra running or extra strength work produces the biggest return. 44:00 | Trust the Data or Trust Yourself? Heart rate, recovery scores, wearables, and intuition collide as the coaches explain why learning effort by feel remains one of the most valuable skills in ultrarunning. 56:00 | What Should You Do When You Want to Quit? The coaches tackle one of the hardest race-day scenarios: stop, regroup, and reassess, or keep moving forward no matter how slowly. 1:11:00 | Final Thoughts (and One Last “It Depends”) The episode wraps with laughs, reflections, and one final reminder that while coaching often depends on context, the principles of smart, sustainable training remain remarkably consistent.

When Jerry Kong sells a single-family home, buyers walk through the door with a compass app open to check the feng shui. When he leases an apartment, tenants just say, "Cool, where do I sign?" That single realization pushed Jerry — alongside his partners Anthony and April — from single-family investing into building a multifamily portfolio spanning Portland, Denver, San Antonio, and Tennessee, with over $50 million in assets under management and 1,000-plus doors. In this episode, Jerry breaks down the exact structure of his first-ever capital raise — a $1.6 million deal split four ways with an experienced sponsor, where he personally raised just shy of $400,000 over two and a half grueling months — and how leveraging that sponsor's name changed the way brokers treated him in his home market almost overnight. He also shares why he calls the biggest, most established operator in any new market before making a move, how radical transparency turned a friend's Porsche fund into an investment in his deal instead, and why the best compliment an investor can give is skipping the webinar because they already trust the process. Whether you're trying to structure your first capital raise or figure out how to keep investors engaged between deals, Jerry's approach to building credibility through consistency and honesty is a rare, unfiltered look inside how a real multifamily team actually operates.Five key takeaways:Multifamily is a fundamentally different sale than single-family. Jerry pivoted away from single-family, where emotional buyers scrutinize everything down to the feng shui, toward multifamily, where tenants sign a lease as a straightforward business transaction — a much better fit for his finance-driven, numbers-first mindset.Everyone on the team has to raise, no exceptions. Jerry's team runs on one rule: no matter your specialty — underwriting, investor relations, marketing — you're still expected to raise capital, because relying on one person for deal flow creates a single point of failure, as they learned firsthand when a team member's personal crisis stalled an entire market.Borrow the biggest name in any new market. Instead of competing against the top established operator in an unfamiliar market, Jerry calls them directly to partner, since that operator has likely already seen — and passed on — the deal for reasons a newcomer might completely miss.Radical transparency builds more trust than a polished pitch. Jerry never leads with upside; he walks investors through the worst-case scenario and every real-world risk built into his underwriting — which is exactly what convinced a savvy investor to delay buying his son a car and invest in Jerry's deal instead.Consistent, personal communication is a credibility engine. Sending newsletters from a personal email instead of a mass-mailer address, doing three touches per distribution, and treating an investor's "no thank you, I don't need the webinar" as the ultimate compliment are what keep investors coming back deal after deal.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

Garren Hilow bootstrapped Abveris, an antibody discovery business doing $12 million in revenue, and sold it in 2021 for $150 million up front with another $40 million available in an earnout. His team came within one percent of the revenue target. The acquirer said they had missed it, refused to share the accounting behind that conclusion, and dared him to sue.  Rob Walling sold Drip with 40 percent of his purchase price tied to an earnout and collected all but a fraction of it.  In this episode of Built to Sell Radio, John Warrillow puts the two founders side by side to work out what actually separated the two outcomes, and you discover how to negotiate an earnout you have a chance of collecting.  You'll learn:  Why a revenue-based earnout hands the acquirer the calculator, including the right to change how your revenue is recognized partway through the year  Walling's ranking of earnout milestones from worst to best, and the one type he tells founders to refuse outright  Why taking more cash at close makes an acquirer less likely to fight you over the back end  What a private equity buyer admitted over dinner about how often his firm plans to replace the founder  The reporting clause Hilow left out of his agreement, and what its absence cost him  How old Slack messages and a verbal instruction to work from home became grounds for a termination with cause  Why an acquirer who intends to fold your company into theirs should not be offering an earnout at all 

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Rod Babers separate fact from fiction when evaluating Arch Manning's game. While Arch has struggled with some of the quick throws, RPOs and crossing routes that traditionally drive Steve Sarkisian's offense, he excels when the play breaks down. His deep-ball accuracy, scrambling ability, sack avoidance and active streak of 123 passes without an interception reveal a quarterback who thrives under pressure and consistently protects the football. The crew explains why Arch may be more of an “agent of chaos” than the polished system quarterback many expected—and why that could ultimately help Texas win critical games when Sark is forced off script. They also examine the short-area accuracy Arch must improve, how Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo could maximize his vertical passing ability and whether fans have been judging the Longhorns quarterback through the wrong lens.

She earned her B.S. in Animal Science from Clemson University in 2016, then spent that year's show season working for a hunter/jumper veterinarian, traveling to circuits in Chicago, Traverse City, and Tryon.At Balsam Mountain, Lila oversees a growing equestrian program that includes the care of a dozen horses, boarding, lessons, guided trail rides across more than 40 miles of mountain trails, and a full calendar of horse-related community events. She's known for her passion, her warm sense of humor, and her ever-present barn dog and unofficial mascot, Goose.Balsam Mountain Preserve is a private, resort-style residential community set on roughly 4,400 acres high in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Sylva, North Carolina, surrounded by the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains.

You belong here.We build this together. Every article, every episode, every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new, to feel less alone in the challenges of this sport, and to be reminded of why we fell in love with horses in the first place.Until next time, keep reading, keep learning, keep riding, and remember that the horse world is better when we build it together. I will see you at the ring!

John Heers sits down with "Justin Smith" — an anonymous app designer you'll never see, only hear.His app, This Life, is audio-only and anonymous by design: you record your own voice, then get paired with a stranger for a day to hear three minutes of their life.In this episode John pushes back hard — is a phone app really the cure for the isolation it helped create? Is writing down your thoughts making us more ill, not less? And where does the whole thing come from — what's the "well" underneath it?They go deep on:→ Why Justin hides his face (and the Bill Wilson / AA logic behind it)→ The "force of unhelpful negative emotion" and how it plays us all→ Spiritual hitchhiking — the app's one-day anonymous pairing→ Whether an app can ever replace the in-person Supra table→ Christianity, Orthodoxy, and building something beautiful out of love for a fatherA fascinating, honest conversation about what we've lost in the modern world — and one man's attempt to build a piece of it back.Get the app

Want help turning your story into a book? Book a free call with Chandler's team to map out your book: selfpublishing.com/justin I sat down with my friend Chandler Bolt, who built self-publishing.com into an 8-figure company (north of $80 million in sales) by his early thirties, and we got into exactly how he did it. We talked about the mindset that separated him from guys like me in our twenties, why he scaled almost entirely without social media by leaning into SEO, content, and business development partnerships instead, and the "thank you card challenge" and guerrilla marketing tactics that got his first webinars off the ground with zero budget. Chandler broke down the real profit bridge from seven figures to eight, why hiring to your weaknesses eventually stops working, and his "win the day" philosophy for pushing through the brutal stretches every founder hits. We also got into why he thinks a book is the single most powerful lever for a personal brand, and yes, the story of betting Jay Shetty $10K on a pickleball game to get a podcast spot. If you're building anything right now, this one is packed with tactics you can use today. Chandler Bolt is the Founder and CEO of selfpublishing.com (formerly Self-Publishing School), which he built after dropping out of college to over $80 million in sales. He's a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and the author of multiple bestselling books, most recently Published. Over the past decade, his company has helped publish more than 7,000 books and works with clients ranging from first-time authors to names like Dean Graziosi, Tony Robbins, and Pace Morby. Chandler also hosts the 7 Figure Principles Podcast and the Self Publishing School Podcast, and is based in Austin, Texas.

When her husband died in 1908, 50-year-old Rose Knox inherited America's largest manufacturer of unflavored gelatin. For a respectable woman then, running a national factory was unthinkable, so for six years she ran the Knox Gelatin company invisibly. Rachel Greenfield, a Harvard MBA searching for trailblazers before the "firsts" of the 1960s, found Rose's papers hidden in an attic. But she didn't just find a forgotten CEO, but the inventor of modern influencer marketing, decades before Betty Crocker. It's a story of marketing, reinvention at 50, and the woman who proved you could check the icebox at night and run the boardroom by day.Get your copy of Rose Knox by rachel Greenfield As an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.Chapters:02:39 - The Evolving American Consumer 05:35 - Running a Business in Secret 07:29 - Emerging into the Public Eye 10:21 - From Bone-Boiling to Instant Gelatin 13:36 - Knox vs. Jell-O: A Marketing Masterclass 16:26 - Pragmatism Over Politics 18:28 - The Legacy of Rose KnoxGuest Informationrachel GreenfieldWebsiteSocial:Facebook2003 interview with Dexter Scott King1994 interview with Dolly PartonFor more intriguing and engaging interviews each week, subscribe now on:Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube

Nobody in the Victorian era who claimed to see a ghost described lace and corsets – that look came from the magazine trade that discovered ghost stories were cheap to print and easy to cut to length.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/VictorianGhostsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4p69wekwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Victorian-era ghosts… they seem to haunt not only our imaginations, but also our Halloween wardrobes. Why were people in the mid-to-late 1800s so obsessed with the supernatural? And why are we so fascinated by Victorian ghost stories still today? (What's The Deal With Victorian Ghosts?) *** The story of Queen Esther is chilling – full of an Iroquois warrior woman's quest for vengeance, brutal warfare, haunting legends, ghostly wails, and a curse that many believe still has power even today. (The Curse of Queen Esther) *** No one can remember exactly when the ghost story began, but records show it dates back to at least 1926. The tale centers around the Administration Offices of Rockford School District 205 on South Madison Street, formerly Rockford High School. Built in 1885, the school gained a spooky reputation due to eerie events reported in its underground tunnels. After a tragic accident in the school's swimming pool claimed the life of a student named Gosta Anderson, strange sightings and sounds fueled the legend of his restless spirit, haunting the very site where he died. (Gosta's Ghost) *** Plumas County, California, holds a chilling mystery that dates back to 1978. On a winter night with a half-moon, five friends left a basketball game at California State University, Chico, and drove away, never to be seen again. Their car was found abandoned on a remote mountain road, leading to a series of eerie discoveries, unanswered questions, and clues that still baffle investigators today.

Can you build a real business around one very specific animal? Deborah Niemann has spent nearly two decades doing exactly that. She runs ThriftyHomesteader.com(opens in new tab), a goat-focused media company with a podcast, a YouTube channel, six online courses, and a paid membership with 150 members. She's also taking her first overseas goat tour to Portugal this October, where some of her most loyal followers are paying to visit goat farms with her. Deborah didn't plan any of it. She moved to the country in 2002 to raise her own food, made a lot of beginner mistakes, and started teaching classes on her farm so other people wouldn't repeat them. Tune in to Episode 757 of the Side Hustle Show to learn: how Deborah stacks six different income streams in one small niche why her course sales fell and her membership kept growing how a simple ad network switch took her from $1 a month to $100 a month on video Full Show Notes: She Built a 6-Figure Business Talking About Goats New to the Show?

Tom Gozney hit rock bottom with addiction at 21 and spent nearly a year in a South African rehab facility. What saved him back home wasn't a business plan - it was a brick oven he dug into his garden, because cooking pizza for his friends was the only way he could socialise without alcohol at the centre of it. He noticed something: after a few weeks, people stopped bringing beer and started bringing toppings. That shift in behaviour became the entire thesis of the brand. Fifteen years later, Gozney is valued at over $100 million, did $8.5 million in the first four hours of its Dome launch, and forged the portable pizza oven category from scratch. In this interview, Tom breaks down why he redesigned a fully tooled product weeks before shipping after watching a Steve Jobs documentary, how a synchronised Instagram launch with 30 influencers generated 27,000 signups, and the imposter syndrome that made him underprice his own ovens for years. What you'll learn in this interview: • Why he says he's selling a shift in human behaviour, not hardware or pizza • How he got his first oven sale by leaflet-dropping a restaurant with genuinely terrible branding • The £5K loan from his mum that funded the first fibreglass mould and website • Why he scrapped a fully tooled steel design weeks before shipping - and retooled it in silicone in a month • The Richard Branson exchange that put an oven on Necker Island and fuelled the Rockbox launch • The synchronised 30-influencer Instagram drop that drove 27,000 signups before a single unit shipped • How the Dome launch did $8.5M in four hours, crashed the site, and triggered death threats over a pizza oven • Why going straight to big factories doesn't work before you've proven volume - and how middlemen killed his early margins • How he rebuilt his entire supply chain by recruiting a board and COO who'd done it in outdoor grilling • Why imposter syndrome made him underprice for years - and what finally gave him conviction to charge premium If you're building a physical product brand, wrestling with manufacturing and margins you don't yet understand, or scared to price for the value you've actually built, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about brand, product obsession, and building something bigger than yourself.

Hour 2 (8.26) Meta settled for up to $17.1 billion but only pays the last chunk if TikTok and YouTube sign on too. Facebook and Instagram get a two-hour daily cap for under-18s. 7:05 — Adva Lavie back in court. Lessons from Uncle T-Bones. Triple digits, and Danny Romero on when the relief comes — it cools off next week. Plus, what it costs to air-condition a casino. 7:20 — American Airlines flight 3280 blew two tires taxiing at O'Hare, the fourth tire failure there this month with the FAA investigating all of them. A Delta captain flying LAX to Boston got sick, diverted to Detroit, and told the tower he'd taxi the jet to the gate himself and then go to the hospital. Burbank's new $1.3 billion terminal opens October 13. And the Pico Rivera golf course, open since 1965, is closing. 7:35 — Whittier Narrows Dam safety project. Built in 1957, the dam protects more than a million people across Los Angeles, and the Army Corps repair will close or disrupt parks, sports facilities and traffic in Pico Rivera for years.

At 2 a.m., a surgeon needed an answer fast and had no one to ask. So he built the tool himself, with no coding background. In this episode, consultant cardiac anesthesiologist Ahmed Elsonbaty explains how a single bleeding-patient case in the operating room pushed him to create bedside clinical decision-support tools now used by more than 10,000 doctors across 150 countries. This episode is based on his article "I built clinical decision-support tools at the bedside," published on KevinMD. You will hear why he deliberately avoided generative AI so the tools give the same traceable answer every time, how he built everything on published, documented sources, and why he insists the tools help the doctor rather than replace anyone. He also walks through submitting his work for peer review at a major journal. Hear how he did it, and the exact steps he says any physician can follow to build their own. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform. With over three million monthly readers and half a million social media followers, I give you direct access to the doctors and patients who matter most.
