Gia Santos joins Stew to dismantle the myth of Trump's mass deportations. Over a year into his second term, less than 350,000 illegals deported in 2025—far from the promised 50 million. Instead, DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol, backed by Palantir, are building a facial recognition dystopia to track Americans. Jake GTV exposes Trump's sellout betrayal, buried Epstein child rape tapes, and the AI surveillance grid Talmudic perverts are forcing on Americans to destroy us while pushing Netanyahu's Iran war.

We often think of a "successful exit" as handing over the keys to a perfectly oiled machine—a business that is growing, profitable, and operationally sound.  But what happens when the machine starts to sputter?  What if the margins are too thin, the operations are exhausting, and you are simply burned out?  It is easy to assume that a broken business model means a worthless company. But as this week's guest on Built to Sell Radio proves, sometimes the individual parts are worth more than the whole.  Meet Jason Patel.  Jason built Transitions Education, a college counseling marketplace. On the surface, it looked great: upper six-figure revenue and a noble mission. But under the hood, customer acquisition costs were eating his margins, and he was carrying $250,000 in personal debt to keep it afloat.  He was ready to walk away. He assumed he had zero leverage.  Then, a "Micro Private Equity" firm reached out. They didn't want his headaches. They didn't want his operations. They didn't even want his business model.  They wanted his "parts."  Specifically, they wanted his SEO ranking, his blog traffic, and his 5-star reputation. They realized they could strip away the expensive service delivery and plug his high-performing marketing assets into their own portfolio.  In this episode, Jason breaks down how he structured an asset sale that allowed him to:  Sell the high-value "parts" (marketing assets) without the operational baggage.  Avoid a grueling earn-out (because the buyer didn't need him to run the company).  Pay off his debt and fund his next venture.  If you feel like your business model is grinding you down, this episode will open your eyes to the hidden value sitting on your balance sheet right now. 

In this episode, Tracy sits down with Michelle King Keenan, a powerhouse creator who has quietly and consistently built a six-figure business rooted in authenticity, live connection, and deep community trust, without chasing trends, filters, or performative influence. Michelle shares her journey from cancer survivor and stay-at-home mom to becoming one of the most trusted voices in live stream selling and community-led monetization. What began as a way to reclaim confidence during a difficult season of life evolved into a thriving business model centered on showing up daily, being human, and genuinely caring about the women on the other side of the screen. This conversation is a masterclass in sustainable growth, ethical monetization, and why being yourself, unapologetically, is the most powerful strategy you have. Episode Highlights How Michelle turned daily live streaming into a trusted, income-generating ecosystem Why community comes before content and always before sales The real story behind her viral growth and why virality is not always the goal How she monetizes without hard selling, selling out, or burning trust Why micro-communities can outperform massive audiences The role vulnerability, boundaries, and consistency play in long-term success Practical advice for women who want to start live streaming while keeping a day job How to work with brands ethically, even without a manager or media kit Key Takeaways Michelle King Keenan proves that you do not need millions of followers, polished aesthetics, or trend-chasing content to build a successful online business. What you do need is consistency, honesty, and a genuine commitment to the people you serve. By showing up daily, listening deeply, and refusing to compromise her values, Michelle has created a business and community that supports her family while staying rooted in integrity.

There's an art — and a surprising amount of psychology — behind giving a great compliment. When done well, flattery can strengthen relationships, build trust, and make people more receptive. When done poorly, it can feel awkward or manipulative. This episode begins with what research says about how to give and receive compliments the right way. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evidence-based-living/202109/the-psychology-compliments-nice-word-goes-long-way Americans buy an astonishing amount of cheap stuff — souvenirs, knick-knacks, novelty items, gadgets — most of which quickly lose their appeal and end up forgotten in drawers or closets. Why are we so drawn to these things in the first place? And why do they so often disappoint us? Wendy Woloson joins me to explain the deep cultural, emotional, and historical forces behind our love of “cheap crap.” She's an associate professor of history at Rutgers University–Camden and author of Crap: A History of Cheap Stuff in America (https://amzn.to/3M9M9WM). When it comes to health, many people may be thinking about exercise all wrong. Staying healthy isn't just about gym workouts or formal exercise — it's about how much you move throughout the entire day. Small movements, done consistently, can have a powerful impact on longevity and overall fitness. Juliet Starrett explains why everyday movement matters more than you think and how to easily build it into your routine. She's co-author of Built to Move (https://amzn.to/3ZwADHH) and host of The Ready State podcast.(https://thereadystate.com/podcasts/) And finally — if you're someone who doodles while listening, you may not be distracted at all. Research suggests doodling can actually improve focus and memory. We wrap up with why letting your pen wander may help your brain pay better attention. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-power-of-the-doodle-improve-your-focus-and-memory-1406675744 Learn more about your ad choices.

Fresh DOJ/FBI docs unleash nightmare: Epstein's trafficked teens strangled by Robin Leach during taped orgies, with bodies sold to cartels via Ghislaine Maxwell and buried at Trump's LA golf resort. EJ Prior tears apart Utah's sham trial: Rifle DNA hits 5 strangers (not Tyler), prosecutor's daughter is an eyewitness, and Erika Kirk's Epstein-linked lawyer rams fake speedy trial.

Sarah Lee went from cold-emailing 700 journalists by hand and sleeping two hours a night to building Glow Recipe into a nine-figure global skincare brand inside Sephora. And she did it without raising venture capital. In this interview, the co-founder of Glow Recipe breaks down how a $50,000 bootstrapped Korean beauty curation site turned into one of the most recognisable modern skincare brands in the world — including how they broke even in just three months, why they walked away from millions to stay in control, and the exact moment they knew it was time to build their own products. From getting on Shark Tank in year one to launching their first SKU with nothing but a white jar and an iPad mockup, this episode is a masterclass in brand building, retail strategy, and founder-led execution. What you'll learn in this interview: • How Glow Recipe broke even in just 3 months with a $50K bootstrap • Why Sarah and Christine personally cold-emailed 700+ press contacts • The real economics of starting as a curated marketplace vs owning the brand • How they validated product demand before manufacturing anything • What it took to pitch Sephora with no finished product • Why Glow Recipe walked away from millions in potential funding • Lessons from Shark Tank — and what didn't make it on TV • How Korean beauty education became their unfair advantage • The biggest mistakes founders make when launching beauty products • How Glow Recipe scaled from curation to a nine-figure product brand By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to validate demand early, build leverage without capital, and turn brand education into long-term defensibility — even in one of the most competitive categories in ecommerce. If you're building a product brand, thinking about retail expansion, or deciding whether to raise capital or stay bootstrapped, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about control, growth, and timing.

Growth marketing was built on continuous improvement — experiment, optimize, compound. But for many brand leaders today, growth no longer feels like it's compounding. Despite more data, more tools, and more optimization than ever before, ROI is slipping and hitting growth targets is getting harder. That's not a discipline problem. It's a growth marketing model problem. In this pillar episode, I break down why the traditional growth marketing model — including the AARRR framework (Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, Revenue) — is no longer optimized for how modern consumers make decisions. Built for scale and efficiency in a general-market era, these models struggle in today's fragmented, identity-driven landscape. Drawing on insights from the American Marketing Association and a conversation with Bennie F. Johnson, this episode explores: Why growth marketing optimization is breaking down despite best practices How scale without intention creates friction across the funnel Where identity friction shows up across Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, Retention, and Revenue Why relevance — not reach alone — is now critical to sustainable growth How an identity-layered approach helps growth compound again This episode focuses on diagnosing why growth marketing stopped compounding — not tactical fixes, but how the underlying model needs to evolve to reflect how people actually make decisions today. If growth feels harder than it should, this episode explains why — and sets the foundation for what modern growth marketing requires now.

Today we have a special episode breaking down how investors are using AI.  This is a question I get from many of you, and while there is no shortage of content on the implications of AI, I know there's an appetite to learn more about tangible use cases, how to make sure you're getting the most out of these tools, how to think about advancements in the technology, and ensuring that you're keeping pace with the innovation curve. So my guest today is David Plon, Founder of Portrait Analytics. Now, David and Portrait have been partners of Business Breakdowns since last year, but I specifically asked David to do this episode because, one, he is really front and center to how investors are using and applying AI. But two, and maybe more importantly, he and his team come with a background in investing.  So while the conversation doesn't really focus on Portrait, you'll hear references to what he and his team are building and how they've shaped it for investors, you'll very much understand when you hear David talk that he is someone who understands the pain points of an investor. I think everyone will find something in this episode that will benefit them in their day to day, and I would love to hear the feedback.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Portrait Analytics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - your centralized resource for AI-powered idea generation, thesis monitoring, and personalized report building.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Josh Haas, co-founder and co-CEO of Bubble, to unpack why the next phase of software creation is already taking shape. We talk about how the early excitement around AI-powered code generation delivered fast demos and instant gratification, but often fell apart when teams tried to turn those experiments into durable products that could grow with a business. Josh takes us back to Bubble's origins in 2012, long before AI hype cycles and trend-driven development. At the time, the idea was simple but ambitious: give more people the ability to build genuine software without spending months learning traditional programming. That early focus on visual development now feels timely again, especially as builders wrestle with the limits of black-box AI tools that hide logic until something breaks. We spend time on where vibe coding struggles in practice. Josh explains why speed alone is never enough once customers, payments, and sensitive data are involved. As he explains, most product requirements only surface after users arrive, and those edge cases are exactly where opaque AI-generated code can become risky. If you cannot see how your system works, you cannot truly own it, secure it, or fix it when something goes wrong. The conversation also digs into Bubble's hybrid approach, blending AI agents with visual development. Rather than asking builders to trust an AI, Bubble's model unquestioningly emphasizes clarity, auditability, and shared responsibility between humans and machines. Josh explains how visual logic makes software behavior explicit, helping teams understand rules, permissions, and workflows before they cause real-world problems.  I learn how this mindset has helped Bubble-powered apps process over $1.1 billion in payments every year, a level of scale that leaves no room for guesswork. We also explore Bubble AI Agent, where conversational AI meets visual editing, and why transparency and control matter more than flashy demos. From governance and rollback logs to builder accountability, this episode looks at what it actually takes to build software that survives beyond the first launch. If you are building with AI or thinking about how software development is changing, this episode offers a grounded perspective on what comes after the hype fades. As AI tools become more powerful, the real question is whether they help you understand your product better over time, or slowly disconnect you from it. Which path should builders choose right now?

You want a community, not just an audience. There's a big difference between the people who watch you and the people who would go to war for you. The key is in creating those deeper relationships; the kind that can transform into a powerful tool for your business. During the episode, you'll hear about the moment I realized I wasn't building what I thought I was, the three fundamental shifts that turned followers into advocates, and how to create content that builds real-world connections and impact. In this episode, you will learn about: Why I chased visibility for years, and what I've learned since that changed everything. What your audience actually wants from you (hint: it's not perfection). What your strongest currency for connection actually is and how to use it. The way I showed up with vulnerability and the unexpected reaction I got. What you can do this week to build authenticity with your community. Why I emphasize connecting with community and responding thoughtfully. How you know you've built (or are building) a movement. The importance of creating community no matter what business you're in. A few questions to ask yourself to shift from audience to community.     Check out The Pink Skirt Project, happening July 9-10, 2026 in Kelowna, BC, Canada.   Want to get unstuck, feel more confident and surround yourself with women ready to help you climb?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Standing just steps from the battlefield in Gettysburg, the The Historic Farnsworth House Inn remains a powerful reminder of the violence and sorrow tied to the Civil War. Built in 1810 and expanded in 1833, the home became a strategic refuge for Confederate sharpshooters during the Battle of Gettysburg, leaving its walls riddled with more than 100 bullet holes that remain visible today.Among the many tragedies associated with the battle is the death of Mary Virginia "Jennie" Wade, the only civilian killed during the fighting—an event some believe may be linked to gunfire originating from or near the house. After the battle, the Farnsworth House served as a makeshift hospital, adding another layer of suffering to its history.We explore the dark history and reported hauntings of the Farnsworth House Inn—a place where the echoes of war still seem to linger long after the guns fell silent.#TheGraveTalks #FarnsworthHouse #HauntedGettysburg #CivilWarHauntings #ParanormalPodcast #HistoricHauntings #GettysburgGhosts #HistoryandHaunting#ParanormalActivity #HauntingsLove real ghost stories?

Every gold rush is followed by a hangover. That's been true throughout history. It happened during Tulip Mania from 1634-1637. There was a gold rush in railways in the 1830's in the UK and then later in the 1870's to the 1890's in the US and Canada. There was an actual gold rush in 1896-1899 in the Klondike region of the Yukon close to the border with Alaska. It happened with automobiles in the early 1900's. It happened in radio and then in TV, and then with the Internet. But seriously folks, this time it's different, this AI thing is here to stay and the projections for its impact on the economy are well quantified. There are an increasing number of tools that are showing maps of both existing and planned data centres. The limiting factor for new data center investments is often described as being infrastructure related. That means optical fibre, large supply of base load electricity, and in many cases, ample water supply to provide cooling. The latest tool is a new open source database on a map called The IM3 Open Source Data Center Atlas. It provides locations and facility footprints (when available) of existing and projected data centers across the United States (U.S.).-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Welcome back to Big Fat Five, a segment of Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This episode is a first for the show. For the first time ever, Big Fat Five has two hosts. I explain it more at the top of the episode, but today Eric Urrea is joining me as a co-host. Eric's someone I trust musically and personally, and having him in the room added a different kind of energy and flow that I really loved. It felt natural, and honestly, it raised the bar. Our guest today is Patch Mahoney. Patch and I share the same lockout facility, and I walk past his room all the time. I've wanted to have him on the show for a while, not just because he's a great drummer, but because he's genuinely one of the nicest dudes around. Patch plays with Hilary Duff, Bebe Rexha, and many more and has built a career rooted in taste, feel, and adaptability. We sat down and talked through the records that helped shape him into the drummer he is today, and along the way we got into things like practice habits, recording yourself, restraint, gospel influence, drum tones, and how a drummer's voice actually develops over time. And with that, here's Patch Mahoney's Big Fat Five.

In this episode of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch traces how crisis becomes opportunity — not for everyone, but for those positioned to acquire when others are forced to let go.From psychological influence campaigns and the weaponization of belief to pandemic-era wealth acceleration, this episode reveals how instability reshapes ownership itself. Lynch connects redlining to modern rent burdens, shows how algorithmic pricing may be rewriting competition, and examines how disasters — from COVID-19 to California wildfires — can trigger generational wealth transfers.You'll hear how institutional investors, lobbying power, and financialization collide with housing supply constraints, why innovation alone cannot solve affordability, and how narratives shape public policy long before laws are written.This is not simply a story about housing. It is a story about power. About who gets to own the future — and who keeps paying for it.If you want to understand why the wealth gap widens after every crisis, why housing increasingly behaves like a financial instrument, and how division itself becomes strategy, this is an episode you cannot afford to miss.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.Episode Credits:Production in collaboration with Gābl MediaWritten & Executive Produced by Dimitrius LynchAudio Engineering and Sound Design by Jeff Alvarez

Furniture flipping looks dreamy from the outside: paint, pretty pieces, a tidy before-and-after, but Jen Talley pulls back the curtain on what actually makes it sustainable. This conversation sits in the quiet middle between passion and burnout: learning when to say yes, when to say no, and why boundaries are just as creative as brushstrokes. Jen shares how her business evolved from late-night hobby energy to an intentional, values-led rhythm; choosing better pieces, protecting her time, letting simplicity sell, and honoring the very human reasons this work matters. It's grounded, honest, and deeply reassuring for anyone trying to turn “I love this” into “this actually works.”Jen Talley is a furniture artist known for her timeless, perfectly imperfect approach and a business built on intention over hustle. Her work blends classic design, thoughtful boundaries, and a deep belief that furniture, and creativity, can hold real meaning.Connect with Jen:IG FacebookYouTubeCreative Finds:Melange Paints - Jen's discount code mentioned: JEN10Golden Brush Awards 2025 - Public voting opening February 13In this episode, we discuss:When no becomes the most important business skill you can learnHow intention, boundaries, and simplicity create longevityWhy furniture doesn't need more – it needs better (and simpler)The human stories behind the pieces we make and sellWelcome to Brush & Banter—the podcast where creativity meets real-life hustle.

We go inside the real succession story within the Murdoch family media empire. It includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. In 2023 Rupert Murdoch chose his eldest son and most conservative child, Lachlan, as his successor – buying out three of his other children from the family trust and estranging them in the process. “His dream was to build a family business. And what he built was a business that destroyed his family,” journalist Gabriel Sherman says. His book, ‘Bonfire of the Murdochs,' also examines how the Murdochs changed politics on three continents over half a century. He spoke with guest interviewer Sam Fragoso. Later, TV critic David Bianculli reviews the return of ‘The Muppets.' Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Fad workouts have been with us for decades, but they go back much further than we realize. Long before CrossFit, Zumba, P90X, Tae Box, Jazzercise or Jack LaLanne, we had 19th century strongmen. These mustachioed showmen were the first global fitness influencers. They hauled trunks of weights onto steamships, toured the world, then sold exercise equipment through the mail. The most famous was Eugene Sandow, who broke chains, and created with his own body a "manned cavalry bridge" where he would lie down while men, horses, and a carriage were driven over his body. He even fought a lion in front of an auditorium and won, although the lion was almost definitely sedated. Today’s guest is Connor Heffernan, author of “When Fitness Went Global: The Rise of Physical Culture in the Nineteenth Century.” In this episode, we discuss: Ancient Egyptians were basically doing CrossFit thousands of years ago. They trained with swinging sandbags that look exactly like modern kettlebell flows. One of the first exercise practices to experience globalization was Indian club-swinging. Indian club-swinging, originating from the heavy training clubs used by Indian wrestlers and soldiers for centuries, was observed and adopted by British military officers stationed in India during the early 1800s. Early diet culture was a carnival of quack science. Victorian fitness magazines were filled with miracle tonics, starvation cures and pseudoscientific meal plans. Many of our “new” diet trends are rebranded versions of schemes first marketed with sepia portraits and dubious testimonials. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If democracy is going to survive, it has to deliver.This week, Goldy and Civic Ventures president Zach Silk are joined by Hannah Garden-Monheit, a former senior official in the Biden-Harris administration, for a conversation about one of the most urgent questions in American politics: why our government so often fails to produce visible results for working people—and what that means for what comes next.At a time when public institutions are being dismantled faster than they were ever built, this episode looks beyond easy cynicism and asks what it would take to rebuild a government people can trust, feel, and believe in again. Because the next governing moment won't just be about having the right values or policies. It will hinge on whether leaders are willing to use democratic power to make government deliver in ways that are visible, tangible, and real. Hannah Garden-Monheit is a Senior Fellow at the American Economic Liberties Project and co-author of Building a More Effective, Responsive Government, a report from the Roosevelt Institute. She previously served as Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission and as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy on the White House National Economic Council.  Further reading:  Building a More Effective, Responsive Government: Lessons Learned from the Biden-Harris Administration Website: http://pitchforkeconomics.com Instagram: @pitchforkeconomics Threads: pitchforkeconomics Bluesky: @pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social Twitter: @PitchforkEcon, @NickHanauer, @civicaction YouTube: @pitchforkeconomics LinkedIn: Pitchfork Economics Substack: ⁠The Pitch⁠
