Let's be real. The fact that people think they're entitled to comment, criticize, or even dictate how someone else—who's earned their wealth—uses it, says more about them than it does about Bezos. It exposes the scarcity mindset that's been normalized in society. The jealousy. The entitlement. The belief that someone else's success needs to be explained, justified, or made more “relatable.” But wealth doesn't require permission. Freedom doesn't come with an apology. And judging how others celebrate what they've built only highlights your own resistance to what's possible for you. This episode is a wake-up call to stop projecting limitations onto others and start checking where you might be holding yourself back from abundance. Because the truth is—when you're triggered by someone else's wealth, it's not about them... it's about where you've stopped believing in what's available to you.

Episode Title: Market Resilience, Counterfeit Realities, and the Future of Authentication with Perry Nguyen of Check Check Show Notes: In this episode, I'm joined by Perry Nguyen with Check Check, a cutting-edge digital authentication platform reshaping the luxury resale landscape. Our conversation explores the parallels between nature's most resilient species and the dynamic, ever-evolving global marketplace, particularly the explosive growth of luxury resale and the counterfeit economy. Perry shares how Check Check leverages a global team of expert authenticators to verify high-value goods, including sneakers, designer items, and collectibles. With the rise of “super fakes” and consumer trust hanging in the balance, Perry explains why real-time, mobile-first authentication is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. We dig into Perry's fascinating career journey—from scaling a cannabis startup from zero to $11M in sales, to lobbying Congress (cowboy hat and all) in support of a groundbreaking antifungal vaccine for animals. His background in the music industry also adds a creative twist to his leadership style, which I found incredibly relatable. Perry also opens up about joining Check Check just 12 months ago and partnering with co-founders Arnold Luck and Eddie Abramov to scale their sneaker authentication platform into a robust enterprise solution. With over 3.3 million app downloads and 2.2 million items authenticated, they're redefining trust in the secondary market. We wrap the conversation with a look at global expansion—including a powerful new partnership with India's Culture Kicks—and discuss how APIs and mobile tech are driving the next phase of authentication for streetwear and luxury resale. I even encouraged my brother to download the app—because if you're going to invest in high-value items, you need to make sure they're the real deal. And yes, I even share a story about tracking down an elusive 90s rock vocalist named Kurt, plus what my cousin's DIY guitar pedal business taught me about creative frustration, innovation, and self-determination in leadership.

If you've ever left a conference wondering whether it was worth the time, money, and disruption to your client work, this episode is for you. I break down how Big Law attorneys can approach conferences more strategically—before, during, and after—so they actually generate business, deepen client relationships, and build visibility with the right people.  Too often, conferences are treated as obligatory or status-based, without a clear plan for return on investment. But with tight schedules and high expectations, you can't afford to attend just to check a box. I share the steps I walk through my coaching clients to evaluate which events are worth attending, prepare for targeted interactions, and follow through to maximize long-term value. This isn't about collecting badges or LinkedIn selfies—it's about making sure the time you spend translates into opportunities that move your practice forward. At a Glance: 00:00 Why many Big Law attorneys struggle to get ROI from conferences 01:44 How to choose events that align with your business development goals 03:04 The problem with conferences filled only with other law firm lawyers 04:04 How to assess whether attendees include real decision-makers 05:10 Why smaller, niche conferences can offer greater access 06:08 Hidden pitfalls of vendor-heavy conferences and VIP sponsor tiers 06:55 Mapping a before-during-after strategy for each event 07:44 Defining specific goals for client relationship-building 08:43 Using LinkedIn and firm connections to prep in advance 09:25 What to say when meeting new people—and how to reconnect 10:25 Why personal touches help build rapport faster than a hard pitch 11:04 How to use dedicated time (like meals and coffees) to go deeper 11:43 Smart ways to continue the conversation without being transactional 12:20 Why taking real-time notes is non-negotiable 13:05 Capturing your own visibility as a speaker or attendee 14:00 How to spotlight clients and earn goodwill through social content 14:22 The most common reason great conference connections fizzle out 14:41 The 72-hour rule: blocking time for personalized follow-up 15:05 Follow-up ideas that feel helpful, not salesy 15:24 Coordinating with your firm's client team on next steps 15:47 Turning one insight into scalable content or broader BD initiatives 16:08 Measuring conference ROI over 6, 12, and 24 months 16:28 Final thoughts on being intentional with your time and brand Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee welcome plastic surgeon, Dr. David Dellinger of Elysian Plastic Surgery in Austin. Today they discuss the spectrum of resources available to patients who aren't happy with their body's appearance and/or function. Dr. Dellinger sees patients for everything from buried penis syndrome, gynecomastia, and reconstructive surgery to penile enlargement, liposuction, and botox. Buried penis occurs when excess fat around the penis causes it to retract into the body, resulting in both urinary and sexual dysfunction. Although bariatric surgery may help patients lose weight, the loose skin that remains can seriously impact a patient's self-esteem. Fortunately, Dr. Dellinger and Dr. Mistry often join forces to provide the highest quality plastic surgery fixes for these and other conditions affecting patients of all genders. Call Elysian Plastic Surgery at (512) 229-1978 or visit them online to schedule your consultation today!Voted top Men's Health Podcast, Sex Therapy Podcast, and Prostate Cancer Podcast by FeedSpot.Dr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice, NAU Urology Specialists, in 2007.  Donna Lee works with Dr. Mistry as NAU Urology Specialists' Director of Business Development and she's also a professional standup comedian. We enjoy hearing from you!

This week I'm sharing something personal and real. Every summer, my kids look forward to sleepaway camp in the Poconos—it's their favorite time of year. As they say in the camp world, they live "10 for 2." But this year, the day before the bus was set to leave, my daughter Ivy got sick. I talk about what it felt like to watch one child head off to camp while the other had to stay behind—and how heartbreaking that was for both of us. But I also share the unexpected gratitude I felt in the middle of it all: the ability to just be there for her without taking time off or asking permission.Because of my work as a sleep consultant, I could care for Ivy while still supporting my clients. It wasn't easy, but it was possible—and that flexibility is something I don't take for granted.If you've ever wondered what “freedom” really looks like when you run your own business, this episode is for you. It's about the messy, real-life moments that remind us why we chose this path in the first place.If you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

Guest: Matthew Freed   Guest Bio: ​I've spent the last 20 years in sales and sales leadership, and I still find it incredibly rewarding. Most of that time has been in manufacturing and distribution, where I've had the opportunity to lead high-performing teams and work closely with customers. I currently lead a team across the Midwest and am passionate about building lasting culture, driving results, and simplifying the complicated. A big part of my leadership style is helping sellers achieve their goals while supporting them in becoming the best versions of themselves. I believe consistent habits lead to consistent outcomes, and I aim to lead with energy, clarity, and accountability. I enjoy helping people grow in their careers while building meaningful, long-term relationships with customers and colleagues. Outside of work, I still love to compete—whether it's on the basketball court or just a backyard game with friends. Most importantly, I enjoy time with my wife and our two daughters.   Key Points: Career Journey & Sales Background His dad was in sales and eventually owned a business, which influenced him early. Matthew started with cold calling and door-to-door efforts, learning what real sales was versus the perception. Naturally gravitated toward leadership roles on teams; wanted to shift from individual sales to team success. Moved cities and took a risk to lead a sales team at a manufacturing company, eventually growing in responsibility and geography. He was introduced to Millcraft by a supplier contact and joined over 8 years ago; currently leads sales efforts after transitioning from operational responsibilities.   Sales Philosophy & Simplifying Complexity Believes the sales team is his "customers" and supports them by removing obstacles and improving processes. Matthew uses what he calls a "Simplify the Complicated" Approach: · Sales fundamentals (know, like, trust) are still the core, despite evolving technology. · Use data and analytics to validate feelings and drive decisions. · Focus on what matters: simplify systems/processes to let sellers focus on selling.   Challenges in Sales Leadership Reps often react emotionally, inventing stories about prospects. Ask clarifying questions, do a fact-finding mission, and use both data and instinct (e.g., the "sleep on it" approach). Helps reps stay grounded by focusing on facts and controllables rather than assumptions.   CRM/ERP Adoption Success Successfully implemented a new ERP system that includes a CRM. Tailored the system to serve salespeople and their customers. Positioned CRM is used as a way to better serve customers and make smarter decisions. Gained buy-in by connecting usage to outcomes (e.g., customer satisfaction). Has most of his team (12 people) consistently using the CRM.   Team Composition & Hiring A mix of new and long-tenured reps (some with 30–40+ years of experience). Has a team size of 12 sellers. What He Looks for in Hires is resourcefulness, values competitiveness, entrepreneurial spirit, and inquisitiveness. Matthew's screening methods are assignments before interviews, looking for how much effort candidates put into research, a sports background is a strong signal (discipline, competition), and relying heavily on referrals.   Team Wins & New Business Growth - 150+ New Accounts Opened Focused efforts in specific industry segments (e.g., beverage, signage, apparel, nonprofits). Leverages repeatable success models: if one nonprofit buys certain items, others likely will too. Emphasizes selling similar things to similar customers vs. reinventing every sale. Segment-focused selling allows for scalable, repeatable growth strategies.   Leadership Style & Values Clearly outlines what reps should expect from him and vice versa. Believes in accountability, honesty, and mutual respect. Sees his role as equipping and clearing the path for his team's success. Encourages feedback and builds relationships rooted in trust.     Guest Links: Connect on LinkedIn       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

In this episode, we sit down with Justin Wagner, AIF®, Henssler Financial's Director of Business Development, to explore the real value of offering—and participating in—a 401(k) plan. For employers, we discuss the end of traditional pensions and why the shift toward defined contribution plans like the 401(k) makes sense today. Justin explains how company contributions are tax deductible, how a strong plan can enhance your ability to attract and retain top talent, and how it can make your company more appealing by demonstrating a commitment to employees' long-term financial wellness.On the employee side, we break down how contributions can reduce taxable income, the benefits of employer matching, the advantages of tax-deferred growth, and current annual contribution limits. Plus, we address some of the most common myths and misconceptions that prevent people from fully maximizing this powerful retirement tool.Whether you're an employer considering a plan or an employee looking to make smarter retirement decisions, this episode has something for you.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

You've been conditioned to believe that if you just do it all yourself—manage every detail, answer every message, and wear every hat—then success will finally feel sustainable. But what you're really doing is running a growing business on a shrinking bandwidth, and calling it leadership. Shamina reveals the real shift: it's not about doing everything—it's about building the right team to do the right things, creating the right offers and systems, and attracting aligned premium clients so you can rise into your true role as the CEO. That starts with hiring intentional support, building out lean systems, and stepping into power like your next level depends on it—because it does. You're not exhausted because you can't handle it. You're exhausted because you were never meant to build an empire alone. This episode is your wake-up call to stop micromanaging and start scaling—for the woman you've become and the future you're claiming.

The Small Business Administration is launching an investigation into the 8(a) business development program seeking to root out possible fraud. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler ordered the full-scale audit after a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation uncovered a years-long fraud and bribery scheme involving a former federal contracting officer and two 8(a) contractors. SBA's Office of General Contracting and Business Development will lead the audit, starting with reviewing high-dollar ad limited competition contracts. The review will go back 15 years and work with other agencies, which awarded 8(a) contracts. The Justice Department found recently $550 million in contracts were fraudulently steered through bribery and abuse of a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) contracting officer, including to one 8(a) contractor who was officially flagged by USAID as lacking “honesty or integrity."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Nick Sowards   Guest Bio: ​Started cleaning machines in California at 18 years old at my grandfather's company. Graduated into selling machines at 19, then left his company at 20 to sell new machines. Left California in 2004 and joined Absolute Machine Tools, selling their imported brands. In 2015, became GM for Absolute, running their Chicago facility. 2017 needed a change in my life and left Absolute with joining Ellison Technologies in December 17, and the ride has been great thus far! I'm a sales manager for NE Ohio and a territory manager for Lake and 1/2 of Cuyahoga County. I was honored to have been the #1 salesman in Ellison for GP and units for 2023, with also getting salesperson of the year awards. Been in the top 5-10 ever since I started with Ellison in 2017. We have a great team in Ohio, so that helps!   Key Points: Early Influences and Entry into Sales · Grandfather's machine shop played a formative role. He started by cleaning machines as a kid to earn money for things his family couldn't afford. · Originally planned to become an FBI agent, but his mother recognized his strong communication skills and encouraged sales. · A pivotal moment came when he accidentally made a $10,000 sale, earned $200 commission, and realized sales were more rewarding than cleaning machines.   Motivation and Personal Drive · Grew up poor, became a young father, and was driven by the desire to support his family, including allowing his wife to stay home. · Has seven daughters, now expecting three grandchildren, further reinforcing his motivation to succeed financially and professionally.   Leadership and Management Style · Leads a tight-knit sales team of three, focusing on trust, open communication, and family-like support. Believes success is shared: if his team does well, he does well. · Encourages open access; his team can call him anytime, for work or personal matters.   Hiring Philosophy · Looks for motivation (expensive hobbies, family responsibilities) and coachability. · Avoids hiring “negative” people; prioritizes positive, adaptable personalities. · Uses personality assessments and informal settings (like lunch) to gauge candidates more authentically. Watches for signs of intrinsic drive, not just skill.   Building Trust with New Hires · Leads by example: gave a full commission on a deal made the day before a new rep joined, demonstrating generosity and fairness. · Builds trust through action, not just words, follows through, supports his team, and solves problems directly or connects them with the right resources.   Sales Philosophy · Be honest and transparent: admit when you don't know something, but always get the correct answers. · Never be a “yes man”, integrity builds long-term relationships. · Success is based on persistence, teamwork, and customer focus.   Guest Links: Cell: 216-347-9566 Email: nsowards@ellisontechnologies.com Connect on LinkedIn     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Podcast with Chris Drake, SVP at iconectiv, hosted by Doug Green, Publisher, Technology Reseller News “Anything that's powerful and transformative, you have to follow the directions.” — Chris Drake, iconectiv In an era where mobile numbers have become not just identifiers but wallets, communication channels, and business platforms, ensuring trust and authenticity in messaging has never been more important. In a timely and in-depth discussion, Chris Drake, Senior Vice President of Corporate and Business Development at iconectiv, joined Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green to explore the emerging role of Rich Business Messaging (RBM) in a world increasingly threatened by AI-driven fraud. From Mobile Vulnerability to Trusted Conversations Chris Drake highlights how the ubiquitous mobile phone number—once just a contact point—has become a rich target for impersonation scams, deepfake fraud, and phishing attacks. RBM, built on the global RCS (Rich Communication Services) standard, offers businesses a secure, multimedia-rich way to communicate with customers while solving for the twin challenges of CX (Customer Experience) and security. Drake explains that RBM delivers interactive, tap-based messaging (like carousels and smart reply buttons), enabling users to easily engage with brands. But the real differentiator lies in the secure onboarding and authentication behind every message. With iconectiv as a trusted vetting authority, senders are cryptographically verified and continuously monitored—ensuring only legitimate entities are allowed to reach consumers via RBM. A New Messaging Paradigm RBM transforms mobile messaging into what Drake calls “conversational commerce.” But with that transformation comes responsibility. Businesses must “use as directed,” meaning onboarding, identity proof, encrypted connections, and authenticated communication paths must be properly implemented. Otherwise, the very tools meant to protect users could be exploited by bad actors. As Drake notes, “RBM brings that sense of legitimacy which is so lacking lately.” It provides a path forward where consumers feel safe engaging, buying, and responding via mobile—and brands can confidently deliver interactive experiences without compromising security. iconectiv's Role iconectiv supports this evolution by offering identity vetting, cryptographic proofs, and continuous monitoring of sender behavior. The company ensures that brands not only enter the RBM ecosystem with integrity—but maintain that integrity over time. Drake emphasizes the importance of ongoing oversight to detect anomalies, malicious links, or reputational issues that may arise after initial onboarding. Conclusion RBM is more than just a messaging upgrade—it's a foundational shift in how businesses communicate in a mobile-first, AI-challenged landscape. With proper implementation, it offers a rare balance: a better customer experience and stronger protection against fraud. To learn more about RBM and secure digital messaging, visit iconectiv.com.

The woman you're becoming is right on the other side of this immersive experience.  In this episode of The Unapologetically Rich Show, Shamina Taylor exposes a truth most high-achieving women haven't realized yet: you don't have a time problem—you have a capacity problem. You've been conditioned to believe that if you just wake up earlier, plan better, or push harder, everything will finally feel manageable. But what you're actually doing is running on survival mode, managing a full life with no margin, and calling it productivity. Shamina reveals the real shift: it's not about doing more—it's about doing less, better. That starts with creating a premium offer that honors your value, attracts aligned clients, and allows you to make more without constantly outputting more. Because the truth is, you're not tired because you're weak—you're tired because you've outgrown the hustle. You don't need more time. You need more capacity, more clarity, and a business model that supports the life you actually want. This episode is your wake-up call to stop overfunctioning and start building wealth in a way that finally makes sense for the woman you've become.

This morning, the Pac-12 officially announced a historic partnership with CBS Sports — marking a bold new chapter for a conference on the rise. And today on Y-Option, presented by our founding partner 76, we welcomed back Commissioner Teresa Gould for her first full-length conversation since the deal was made public.Make no mistake — this is a monumental move. Starting July 1, 2026, when the new league officially launches, CBS becomes the anchor partner of the new-look Pac-12. That means college football and basketball — including the conference title games — will air across CBS, Paramount+ and CBS Sports Network, joining the same lineup that once featured the SEC and now hosts Big Ten games. And soon, the Pac-12.“This wasn't just about a TV deal,” Commissioner Gould told me. “It was about exposure, economics, and transformation — and CBS checks all three boxes.”Inside the CBS Deal:From our exclusive conversation, here's what stood out:✅ Broadcast + Cable CoverageCBS will carry premier Pac-12 football and men's basketball matchups, alongside CBS Sports Network for expanded programming. The conference championship games will be aired nationally.✅ Strategic AlignmentThe Pac-12's media rights journey didn't just attract interest — it created competition. CBS was among the first to reach out after the conference announced its reformation, and ultimately, their values and vision aligned.✅ The Power of ProductionThe decision to retain Pac-12 Enterprises was key. “Our ability to produce content efficiently and at a high level was a major asset,” said Gould. Expect the Pac-12's in-house production capabilities, led by Senior Vice President of Business Development and Studio Operations Michael Molinari, to power even more content — from live games to NIL opportunities for athletes.“We're Building an Unconference Conference.”Commissioner Gould called it a “blank slate” — a chance to build something new without the constraints of legacy deals or outdated models.And she's doing just that.From the media rights rollout to adding new member schools, the strategy has been deliberate. This phased approach is redefining how a conference is built. With CBS now officially locked in, the next move? Finalizing an 8th football member by 2026 to fulfill FBS requirements and to bring the new league to nine schools overall.“There's no playbook for this,” Commissioner Gould told me. “We're not just rebuilding. We're reimagining.”More from Our Conversation:
