Nima Jalali built SALT & STONE out of his apartment into a $100M+ brand, without ever pitching a single retailer. After an ACL injury redirected his path, he created something he desperately wanted but didn't exist, a high quality, clean deodorant, that actually performs. SALT & STONE has now become one of the fastest growing brands in the space to-date by doing things differently. Even right now, every 60 seconds a SALT & STONE deodorant is bought.  In this candid conversation Nima opens up about transitioning from a pro surfboarder into the Founder role, what it takes to build a killer team, and what keeps him going.

The college price tag keeps climbing, but draining savings or delaying retirement doesn't have to be your only option. We sit down with Lance Morgan, founder of College Funding Secrets, to map out a step-by-step approach for turning smart real estate moves and tax strategy into a reliable engine that pays for tuition while protecting your future. Lance pulls back the curtain on why many high earners miss out on aid, how 529 plans can quietly work against you, and where short-term rentals can create the kind of “tax scholarships” that rival the cost of a private university.We get specific about the short-term rental advantage: active losses that can offset W‑2 income, the return of 100% bonus depreciation, and the FAFSA timing that makes junior year of high school a pivotal window. You'll hear how to underwrite an STR with real data—occupancy, average daily rate, and seasonality—using tools like AirDNA, and why design, amenities, and ranking on page one are the difference between middling revenue and top-percentile performance. Lance shares practical operating tactics for a hands-off model with management baked into the numbers, so you're not spending weekends washing sheets.We also dig into asset positioning to avoid common aid mistakes. Learn which accounts count against you, why retirement vehicles often don't, how to value property conservatively for aid forms, and when the CSS profile changes the rules for private schools. For liquidity and resilience, Lance explains using a properly structured life insurance policy as a source of low-rate loans for down payments and slow seasons, so you preserve compounding while keeping your real estate plan moving. By the end, you'll have a clear playbook to fund college through cash-flowing assets, reduce taxes, and keep your retirement on track.If this strategy guide helps, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who's staring down tuition, and leave a quick review so more families can discover smarter ways to pay for college.How to connect with Lance?Website: https://collegecostsecrets.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/collegefundingeducation/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lance-morgan-college-funding-secrets/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Lance_CollegeFundingSecrets Ready to scale your Amazon business?

David Cleevely didn't approach hospitality like a chef — he approached it like a systems engineer. After decades building companies at the heart of British technology and science, Cleevely went on to co-own one of the UK's most iconic Italian restaurants. In this conversation, he explains why running a restaurant isn't that different from running a technology business — if you understand systems, incentives, and long-term thinking. This isn't a story about Silicon Valley hype. It's about infrastructure, patience, culture, and why the boring bits are what actually make businesses work. ===============

Scott Alldridge, CEO of IP Services and author of the Visible Ops series, emphasizes the necessity of viewing cybersecurity as a growth driver rather than a cost center. He argues that the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, which now target small businesses, necessitates a shift in perspective. Aldridge highlights that organizations must recognize cybersecurity as essential for survival, framing it as revenue protection and enablement. He cites the example of MGM, which suffered a significant ransomware attack that resulted in over $140 million in losses, underscoring the urgency for businesses to prioritize cybersecurity.Aldridge discusses the importance of measurable indicators to demonstrate improvements in security posture. He advocates for regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, moving beyond the outdated practice of annual assessments. He notes that organizations should conduct these tests quarterly or even monthly to adapt to the evolving threat landscape. Metrics such as Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) are critical for assessing the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures and ensuring timely responses to potential threats.The conversation also touches on the human factor in cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for robust training and awareness programs to mitigate risks associated with employee actions. Aldridge stresses that leadership commitment is crucial for fostering a culture of security within organizations. He advocates for a philosophical approach to cybersecurity, including the adoption of frameworks like Zero Trust, which emphasizes strict access controls and continuous monitoring.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT leaders, the episode underscores the importance of integrating cybersecurity into business strategy. By framing cybersecurity as a critical component of business continuity and reputation management, MSPs can better communicate its value to clients. The discussion also highlights the need for ongoing education and adaptation to new threats, ensuring that organizations remain resilient in the face of cyber challenges. Viewers can get free e-copy of the book, “Virtual Ops Cybersecurity” by texting SECURE25 to 541-359-1269”

There's a dangerous blend happening in Christian business circles today: Kingdom entrepreneurs are unknowingly mixing worldly manifestation techniques with biblical principles. In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I confront the confusion head-on and expose the spiritual cost of striving in the name of success. We're unpacking:The stark difference between manifesting outcomes and receiving God's promisesWhy “energy alignment,” vision boards, and affirmations won't work when the source is self, not GodHow our obsession with control is often disguised as “strategy” and is actually spiritual pride in motionThe five key contrasts between manifestation and God's process: from purpose to power, timeline to testimonyI also share how I made the shift—from performance-based striving to peace-filled stewardship—and how it radically transformed my business, my mindset, and my results.If you've been exhausted by doing “everything right” but still feel stuck… this episode will disrupt your assumptions, confront your habits, and return your focus to the One who actually holds the outcome!You're not called to manifest your future. You're called to manage God's vision. Let's get back to that. If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

In this episode of the TriMetric Roadmap Podcast, Scott and Jeff sit down with Mahesh M. Thakur, CEO of Decisive AI, to discuss how business owners can move from AI hype to AI results. Mahesh—one of the world's few Master Certified Stakeholder-Centered Coaches (MCC) and a former executive at Microsoft, Amazon, Intuit, and GoDaddy—shares how leaders can align their teams on a “True North,” integrate AI intelligently, and transform culture, execution, and bottom-line growth. You'll hear how 92% of AI investments currently fail, what separates the 8% that succeed, and how smaller companies can use AI to level the playing field with billion-dollar enterprises. ---- About Mahesh M. Thakur Mahesh M. Thakur is the Founder and CEO of Decisive AI, where he helps CEOs and leadership teams align on their True North and turn AI into ROI™. A former executive at Microsoft, Amazon, Intuit, and GoDaddy, Mahesh is among the world's top 0.1% of Master Certified Stakeholder-Centered Coaches (MCC). He's advised leaders at JPMorgan Chase, Meta, Google, Walmart, PayPal, and John Deere, helping them achieve measurable transformations—from doubling growth rates to cutting decision cycles by 40%. Connect: LinkedIn | Instagram | X (Twitter) ---- 1. What does “AI to ROI” mean? AI to ROI™ is Mahesh's framework for turning artificial intelligence investments into tangible business outcomes—revenue growth, cost savings, and cultural transformation. It blends technology strategy with human alignment. 2. Why do 90% of AI projects fail? Most fail because they lack a clear framework, leadership alignment, or measurable objectives. Companies often jump in due to FOMO, invest heavily, and never achieve integration or adoption that creates ROI. 3. Who should be investing in AI? Every business—from tech firms to law practices to construction companies—can benefit from AI. It's no longer limited to Big Tech; mid-market companies ($10M–$100M) can now compete on equal footing using accessible tools. 4. What is a “Test + Learn™” culture? It's a structured approach that allows organizations to experiment rapidly, measure outcomes, and scale only what works—turning innovation into a repeatable discipline. 5. How can small and mid-sized companies use AI effectively? Start by identifying one or two workflows where automation saves time or improves customer outcomes. Build simple pilots, collect data, and align leadership around shared metrics before scaling. 6. What is the “True North” concept in leadership? True North represents the organization's unifying direction—its mission, values, and goals. Mahesh helps CEOs and teams align on this so that AI and strategy serve the same purpose. 7. How does AI connect to leadership and faith? Mahesh believes great leaders must balance faith and data. Without alignment, AI becomes fear-driven. True mastery integrates wisdom, courage, and belief that technology should serve humanity, not replace it. 8. What's next for Decisive AI and Business Freedom Advisors? Scott and Mahesh announced upcoming collaborations to help business owners design both a Business Roadmap and an AI Roadmap for 2026.
