In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the psychology behind discounting, why most coaches and business owners sabotage their own margins, and the mindset shifts for building a sustainable, high-performing coaching practice. With the holiday season upon us, Karl explores the deeper layers of wealth—time, relationships, health, and purpose—while sharing actionable strategies for tackling the new year, leveraging focus, and reframing "the grind." From implementation hacks to heartfelt moments, this episode strikes the perfect balance of tactical and Zen. Key Topics Covered The Psychology and Strategy of Discounting Karl explains why most business owners resort to discounting, the hidden costs, and the impact on profitability. He unpacks the numbers—offering a 10% discount means you must sell 33% more just to break even. Discussion of segmenting discount offers, using time-limited deals, and alternative approaches like adding value or crafting market-dominating positions (MDP) to escape commoditization. Building a Market-Dominating Position Real-world examples like web-watch in daycares and "no results, no fee" for marketing firms show how to solve the biggest problem for clients without competing on price. Mindset: The 'Bike Trail' Metaphor The struggle and progression of business is compared to riding an uphill bike trail: it feels brutal until "you" change. The fundamentals remain, but your experience and efficiency grow. Fundamentals, incremental improvement, and compounding gains over time are highlighted as keys to ease rather than endless grind. Levels of Wealth and the Holiday Season Karl reframes wealth as not just money but also time, relationships, health, and purpose. Discussion on balancing ambition with presence, focusing on what matters, and prioritizing personal fulfillment during hectic seasons. Zen and The Moment of Presence Drawing inspiration from the philosopher Seneca and sharing personal stories and losses, Karl emphasizes living in the present moment, fueling gratitude, and managing stress. Sales vs. Coaching Skills Most coaches excel at one and struggle at the other. Karl breaks down why consistent small improvements—especially in your weak area—compound massively across the year. Business Models and Scalability Comparison of Siegfried & Roy vs. Blue Man Group in Vegas: choosing a scalable model over one dependent on a key individual. Notable Quotes "The bike trail doesn't change—you do." "If you're discounting by 10%, you better be ready to sell 33% more just to break even." "People get addicted to discounts. They don't get addicted to free." "Depression lives in the past, anxiety is the future—the solution is to stay in the present." "It's not the strategy, tool, or tactic; it's the level of thinking that separates great coaches." Actionable Takeaways Be Relentlessly Focused Laser-like focus is consistently the defining trait of high-level business founders. In 2026, resolve to hone your focus and stay on your chosen path. Add Value First, Discount Last Before offering discounts, create value in the form of market-dominating positions. Stand out by solving bigger problems for your ideal client. Use 'Buy One Get One Free' to Outperform Standard Discounts Test three discount strategies—% off, two-for-one, BOGO—but expect "buy one, get one free" to psychologically and financially outperform. Incremental Improvement Compounds Exponentially Aim for 1% daily improvement in sales or coaching for 365 days—by year's end, you could be 37x better. Live in the Present Practice gratitude, presence, and purposeful moments. Especially during the holiday season, invest your time where love and meaning are highest. Design Scalability into Your Business Model Think beyond yourself: can your offering operate without you present? Avoid "wrestling the tigers"—create systems others can run. Strategic Discounting Only Segment your offers, use time limitations, and always know your profit margins before reducing prices.

Welcome to episode #1014 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when careers feel increasingly precarious and algorithms quietly dictate how value is created and captured, it's worth learning from someone who has spent more than two decades helping creators and entrepreneurs reclaim ownership of their work and their futures. Joe Pulizzi is the founder of multiple influential startups, including Content Marketing Institute, The Tilt, the Content Entrepreneur Expo and is widely recognized as the person who first coined the term "content marketing" in 2001, long before it became an industry unto itself. A bestselling author of seven books, including Epic Content Marketing and Content Inc., Joe has helped shape how organizations and individuals think about audience building, trust, and long-term value creation, earning the Content Council's Lifetime Achievement Award for his impact on the field. After successfully exiting Content Marketing Institute in 2016, he expanded his creative range by writing the award-winning mystery novel The Will To Die, while continuing to host two long-running podcasts, including This Old Marketing, the longest-running marketing news podcast in the world. His latest book, Burn The Playbook: How Creators And Entrepreneurs Escape The 9–5 And Build Businesses That Last, serves as the catalyst for this conversation and reflects a deeply personal mission inspired by his children: to help people stop renting their futures and start building assets they truly own. In the discussion, Joe explores the evolution of content and audience strategy, the underestimated power of repetition in building trust, the growing importance of individual creators over faceless brands, and why human connection matters more than ever in this AI-accelerated world. He also addresses the role of paid promotion, the practical integration of AI into creative work, and why serving a clearly defined audience remains the most durable path to meaning, freedom, and sustainable wealth.

Today, we are breaking down one of the more impressive B2B media businesses I have come across, Doximity. It's been called “the LinkedIn for doctors.”  Jim Jones, partner and analyst at William Blair Asset Management, helped explain exactly how Doximity works as a business. Jim gets into the community engine that works for and around medical professionals. And yes, there is a social network, but it's the add-ons, such as the required continued education that doctors can complete on the platform, including script signing, and all of those little tools that make a doctor's or medical professional's life much easier. The revenue engine is advertising, and Jim delves into the nuances of how that spend works, explaining why this is the business model they've chosen.

My guest today is David George. David is a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where he leads the firm's growth investing business. His team has backed many of the defining companies of this era – including Databricks, Figma, Stripe, SpaceX, Anduril, and OpenAI – and is now investing behind a new generation of AI startups like Cursor, Harvey, and Abridge. This conversation is a detailed look at how David built and runs the a16z growth practice. He shares how he recruits and builds his team a “Yankees-level” culture, how his team makes investment decisions without traditional committees, and how they work with founders years before investing to win the most competitive deals. Much of our conversation centers on AI and how his team is investing across the stack, from foundational models to applications. David draws parallels to past platform shifts – from SaaS to mobile – and explains why he believes this period will produce some of the largest companies ever built. David also outlines the models that guide his approach – why markets often misprice consistent growth, what makes “pull” businesses so powerful, and why most great tech markets end up winner-take-all. David reflects on what he's learned from studying exceptional founders and why he's drawn to a particular type, the “technical terminator.” Please enjoy my conversation with David George.

We all know that huge sums of money are invested in creating new, more effective weapons of war.  Brian Abrams sees an opportunity to invest instead in what he calls "peace tech," emerging businesses using technologies and creative methods designed to prevent war from happening in the first place. He's created a new firm, B Ventures, and in this Blue Sky episode he describes with infectious optimism his exciting vision for the future.    Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Brian Abrams  Bill Burke introduces Brian Abrams, founder of B Ventures Group, an investment fund focused on global peacebuilding and conflict resolution through "peace tech." Brian's extensive background in managing over $1 billion in assets and his human-centric investment philosophy are highlighted.  02:09 From Founder to Venture Capitalist  Brian shares his career journey, starting as an entrepreneur in India where he experienced failure, which led him to realize his strength in spotting opportunities rather than operationalizing them. He then transitioned to venture capital in Israel, building a fund from $2 million to over $1.2 billion, emphasizing the role of luck and a pivotal moment in fostering peace initiatives.  08:28 The Genesis of Peace Tech  Brian reflects on his past experiences, including a startup's condition to include Palestinian teammates during an acquisition, which planted the seed for his current work. He explains his philosophy of using money to serve people and approaching problems from a bottom-up perspective, leading him to focus on peace tech as an alternative to military tech.  10:17 The Rationale for Peace Tech  Drawing inspiration from Thich Nhat Hanh's philosophy of 'interbeing,' Brian articulates why war is illogical and a form of collective self-harm. He emphasizes the enormous economic cost of violent conflict, totaling $19 trillion annually, and how venture capital's bottom-up, experimental approach can offer innovative solutions for peacebuilding.  15:28 AI in Crisis Simulation  Brian describes an investment in a startup founded by a Harvard researcher who developed an AI-powered crisis simulation platform. This technology aims to anticipate and prevent future conflicts, like potential World War III over Taiwan, by running thousands of scenarios daily, far exceeding traditional war games.  21:32 Business Model for Peace Tech  Brian explains the twofold business model for peace tech startups: selling to friendly governments and to companies for competitive landscape analysis. He emphasizes that a for-profit model ensures scalability and continuous funding, unlike grants, allowing for exponential growth and a virtuous cycle to prevent major conflicts.  29:23 Peace Tech: Agile and Ethical  Brian highlights the agility of venture-backed peace tech companies compared to traditional government or academic initiatives, citing an example of a startup rapidly forming after the dismantling of the US Institute of Peace. He defines peace tech as anything that preempts, mitigates, or resolves violent conflict, adhering to a 'first do no harm' principle.  34:26 Peace Tech Investments and Ecosystem  Brian discusses additional investments, including a company creating digital twins of societies to understand and model civil conflicts like those between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He describes the growing Peace Tech ecosystem, drawing parallels to the private space industry's exponential growth, and aims to build a global community of founders and investors.  41:12 Conclusion and Call to Action  Bill Burke reflects on how technology's ability to show the grim reality of war might increase the fervent desire for peace. Brian encourages listeners to connect via LinkedIn and join the Peace Tech community, expressing his strong optimism for the future impact of this movement.   

George Tsilis examines CleanSpark (CLSK) after earnings as the company begins to transition from a primarily bitcoin-mining operations outfit to become a data center compute power provider. He names IREN (IREN), Applied Digital (APLD) and others as representative of a broader trend in the crypto-mining space. George later compares bitcoin performance to CLSK and discusses the "commoditization" of compute power. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
