In this episode, Travis sits down with leadership expert and “Business Sergeant” Chris Hallberg to unpack how great sales and great leadership go hand in hand. From shoveling driveways in Minnesota to scaling and selling an energy‑efficient remodeling company during the Great Recession, Chris shows how disciplined systems, integrity in sales, and long‑term thinking can build serious revenue. On this episode we talk about: How Chris went from shoveling snow and working at McDonald's to military police, then into construction sales and six‑figure commission income The story of launching an energy‑efficient remodeling business in 2008–2010 using tax credits, ROI calculators, and “green” door‑to‑door canvassing to thrive while legacy contractors went under Why door‑to‑door is still “king” in certain home-services niches, and how to sell respectfully at the front door without being a stereotypical high‑pressure closer The mindset shift from zero‑sum “I win, you lose” sales to win‑win selling that focuses on impact, education, and walking away when you're not the best fit How Chris now helps leadership teams implement EOS and uses his GoExpand AI platform to build disciplined, accountable, highly profitable organizations Top 3 Takeaways The best salespeople think of themselves as problem solvers and educators, not manipulators; they're willing to walk away when their solution is not truly in the customer's best interest. In tough economies, differentiation plus math wins: pairing tax incentives, real energy‑savings ROI, and targeted canvassing allowed Chris's company to grow while others shrank. Long‑term success comes from systems and culture, not just charisma—frameworks like EOS and tools like GoExpand help leadership teams create repeatable, scalable performance. Notable Quotes “I look at people as helping people, not selling people. No one wants to be sold, but everybody needs help.” “If you serve other humans, you'll get your just rewards. If you're only trying to take, you'll only get what they'll let you have.” “Both models can work for six months, but only one works for ten years.” Connect with Chris Hallberg: Website (Veteran community): https://bizsgt.com Coaching & software: https://goexpand.com EOS Implementer profile: https://implementer.eosworldwide.com/chris-hallberg ✖️✖️✖️✖️

African governments are weighing in after Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro was arrested and flown to New York following a US operation in Caracas. Ghana and South Africa have criticised the move, while the African Union says it is watching events with great concern. We also hear how ordinary people in Accra, Ghana, view the unfolding crisis.Plus, we then turn to AFCON in Morocco, where excitement on the pitch contrasts with frustration off it.

This week's podcast starts by discussing the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro over the weekend and its implications for North Korea and its leader. NK News correspondent Shreyas Reddy then speaks about Pyongyang's condemnation of the U.S. attack on its longtime ally, accusing Washington of attempting to exercise dominion over the world. He also explains why North Korea will be closely watching the U.S.'s next steps, as well as why Kim Jong Un may not be sweating a similar operation against him thanks to his ace in the hole — nuclear weapons. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insights from our very own journalists.

In this January 5 episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold focuses almost entirely on the reported capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and the reaction to President Trump's announcement. Jon walks through what is known, what remains unverified, and why much of the early reporting should be treated as speculation. He explains his skepticism of mainstream media narratives while also rejecting surface-level explanations centered on oil or drugs. A major portion of the episode is devoted to Jon's opposition to regime change as a principle, even while acknowledging that Maduro is not a good actor and that broader national security considerations may be involved. Jon addresses criticism from viewers who equate disagreement with Trump's actions as disloyalty, arguing that supporting Trump does not require agreement with every decision. The discussion also touches on narrative warfare, legitimacy, consent of the governed, and why Americans should prioritize accountability at home before endorsing foreign interventions. The episode closes with audience interaction, current headlines, and reminders about upcoming programming.

In a dramatic overnight operation, U.S. forces capture and arrest Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro inside a heavily fortified Caracas compound, flying him to New York to face sweeping federal charges. The Trump administration calls it a precise law-enforcement action, while critics warn it risks war, constitutional overreach, and chaos for Venezuela's future. A viral investigation alleges massive taxpayer fraud tied to Somali-run childcare and healthcare operations in Minnesota, prompting a federal payment freeze and a growing FBI probe. Far-left democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as New York City mayor and immediately moves to erase his predecessor's policies.

New year, new attitude. Glenn kicks off the new year by discussing how America will respond to other countries adopting fascist global governments. We are in the fourth industrial revolution, and whoever gets to AI first will decide how the future will pan out. So how do Trump's latest moves on Venezuela and the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro fit into that? Glenn breaks down the different reasons people say Trump went after Venezuela and how they all fit into a bigger picture. Glenn lays out how Trump's latest moves are America First, despite what the Left and some on the Right are saying. Did President Trump have the constitutional right to bomb another country's capital and arrest its president? Glenn reacts to Secretary of State Marco Rubio's defense of Trump's Venezuela actions during an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation." One of the biggest stories over the holiday was the massive Somali fraud scandal that was exposed in Minnesota. Glenn and Stu discuss some of the changes that Torch is bringing to Glenn's radio show and some of the exclusive content that's coming to Torch. Learn more about your ad choices.

For months, the U.S. sold its pressure campaign against Venezuela as a way to curtail drug trafficking.

But WSJ's Collin Eaton explains why getting companies to flock back to Venezuela will be a massive challenge. Ryan Knutson hosts.

In a press conference on Saturday after Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was captured, President Trump said the U.S. would “run” Venezuela until a proper transition was in place. Trump said “he's not afraid of boots on the ground,” and that the U.S. will sell seized Venezuelan oil, but the U.S. plan and next steps are far from clear.

In this episode, Travis and his producer share a loose, late‑night “roses and thorns” conversation about the early highs and lows of Travis's business journey—fueled by a festive candy-cane full of Fireball. The story moves from his very first $197 online sale for an unbuilt course to the realization that big-ticket investments and branding splurges do not guarantee results. On this episode we talk about: How a single listener voluntarily sending $197 for a future networking course unlocked Travis's belief that a small but engaged audience can fund real offers The path from that first pre-sale to masterminds, coaching, and a live event that generated a six-figure weekend and completely changed his sense of what was possible Painful lessons from dropping tens of thousands on masterminds and a fancy website before understanding cash flow, prioritization, and revenue-generating activities Why investing in your business is necessary but never guaranteed—and how to avoid confusing “looking legit online” with actually making money Eric's tongue‑in‑cheek “Alpha Influence / The Bull” bit and why blind trust in hype-y investment schemes is a terrible replacement for due diligence Top 3 Takeaways Small, early wins—like one person happily paying for your idea—can be more important to your trajectory than the dollar amount itself because they prove people will pay you for your expertise. Not all business investments are created equal; prioritize things that directly create offers, sales conversations, and cash flow before you pour money into websites, logos, and vanity upgrades. Risk is mandatory, but recklessness is optional—structure payments, manage runway, and always separate real opportunities from hype-driven schemes that promise “foolproof” returns. Notable Quotes “If you can build a brand and add value, people will want to give you money.” “It's a requirement to make these investments—but it is not a requirement that every investment pans out.” “You should absolutely invest in your business, but be wise enough to prioritize the things that actually generate revenue.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️
In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric pour a couple of fireball shots and get unusually candid about the early “roses and thorns” of Travis's entrepreneurial journey. From his very first $197 course sale to painful five‑figure misfires on masterminds, branding, and websites, they unpack the emotional rollercoaster behind building a real business instead of just chasing highlights. On this episode we talk about: How Travis made his very first money online selling a networking course that did not exist yet—and why that pre-sale unlocked a new way of thinking about audience, value, and offers The evolution from that first $197 to early masterminds, higher-ticket coaching, and finally a live event that brought in over six figures in a few days (and what it felt like to see the bank balance jump overnight) Early “thorn” moments where he dropped tens of thousands on masterminds, branding, and a fancy website—only to realize none of it directly generated revenue or cash flow Why investing in a business or education is required but never guaranteed to work, and how misallocating funds can wipe out months of runway The difference between spending for optics (logos, swag, sites) versus spending on true income-producing activities—and how Travis would structure payments and cash flow differently now Top 3 Takeaways Early wins do not have to be big to be life-changing; a single small sale that validates your offer and your value can permanently shift how you view making money online. Investments in your business are necessary, but not all investments are equal—prioritize cash-generating assets and skills before you pour money into aesthetics and brand polish. Risk, disappointment, and “bad bets” are part of the process; the goal is not to avoid all losses, but to learn faster, manage cash flow smarter, and stay in the game long enough for your bets to pay off. Notable Quotes “That first $197 wasn't a big deposit in my bank account, but it was a huge deposit in my confidence bank.” “It's a requirement to make these investments—but it is not a requirement that every investment pans out.” “You should absolutely invest in your business, but be wise enough to prioritize the things that actually generate revenue.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Welcome back to the pod! In this episode, we kick things off swapping New Year's stories, talking about wild neighborhood parties, and the chaos of fireworks season. There's plenty of friendly roasting, a few questionable parenting confessions, and some classic "back in my day" tales that'll have you laughing (or cringing). We get into some real talk about HOA drama, barking dogs, and the art of being a good neighbor. Then it's off the rails with stories about mudding, off-roading, and the time someone's Jeep didn't quite survive the adventure. Plus, we dive into some unexpected territory with daycare scams, government fraud, and a heated debate about who's really running the show in Minnesota and Venezuela. To wrap it up, we get into food cravings, soul food recommendations, and a little bit of everything else—guns, sagging pants, and why Cracker Barrel is apparently the most controversial restaurant in America. If you're here for laughs, hot takes, and a little chaos, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are set to be arraigned at a Manhattan courthouse on Monday after they were captured during a U.S. operation in Caracas over the weekend. They're expected to plead not guilty to the charges they face. Matt Gutman reports. The operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro and his wife involved more than 150 aircraft launched from 20 different military bases, Gen. Dan Caine said. A source familiar with the operation said a small team of CIA personnel had been on the ground in Venezuela since August, tracking Maduro's movements. Charlie D'Agata reports more on how Maduro's capture unfolded. Nicolás Maduro's vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, was officially sworn in as Venezuela's acting president. President Trump warned he could go after her if she doesn't comply with U.S. demands, including access to the country's oil supply. Weijia Jiang reports. In Washington, D.C. on Monday, Trump administration officials plan to brief members of Congress on the Venezuela operation that led to the capture of former President Nicolas Maduro. Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, told "CBS Mornings" he thinks the operation is "an illegal action" and speaks about what Congress could do next. In Caracas, Venezuela, residents rushed to grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations to stock up following ousted President Nicolás Maduro's arrest, unsure what will happen next. Supporters for Maduro made their voices heard, while some of those who fled the regime expressed skepticism of interim President Delcy Rodriguez. Lilia Luciano has more. The global reaction to the attack that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro has raised questions among U.S. allies as adversaries like China, Russia and Iran call the operation a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty. President Trump claims Venezuela's oil industry will make more money with the U.S. behind it. Venezuela is estimated to have 303 billion barrels of crude oil still in the ground, which is about 20% of the world's reserves. CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger explains how it could impact U.S. prices. Retired Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was President Trump's national security adviser during his first administration, speaks to "CBS Mornings" about what the Trump administration could do next in Venezuela and the short and long-term ramifications for the U.S. On this week's "Beg-Knows America," David Begnaud takes "CBS Mornings" inside Angola State Penitentiary, the largest maximum security prison in the U.S., which is running a program focused on fatherhood that's changing lives for many of its inmates. Blake Mycoskie is an entrepreneur and founder of the popular shoe brand "TOMS." After selling the company in 2019, he said he struggled with his mental health. Mycoskie speaks to "CBS Mornings" about his healing journey that led to his new venture, launching "Enough" bracelets designed to serve as an important reminder to everyone that we are all enough.

A Hospital Room Reminder About What Really Matters When Bruce recorded this episode, I was in the hospital. He carried the podcast solo while I was headed into yet another surgery connected to pregnancy complications—a storyline some of you know has been part of our family's journey for years. https://www.youtube.com/live/Fbq412_k_mU That day was a harsh reminder: life is fragile, the future is never guaranteed, and your family's financial stability cannot depend on “hoping it all works out.” It has to be built on purpose. And that's exactly what cash flow vs accumulation is really about: not numbers on a statement, but whether the people you love will be equipped, protected, and provided for—no matter what happens to you.

Why Cash Flow vs Accumulation Matters More Than a Number Most financial conversations revolve around a number. “How much do I need to retire?”“What should my net worth be at this age?”“What's my freedom number?” Those questions all assume one thing: that a bigger pile of assets automatically equals security. But it doesn't. A big balance that doesn't produce reliable cash flow can disappear quickly. You start selling assets, paying taxes, and hoping the market cooperates. That's not peace of mind. That's pressure. In this article, I want to walk you through a different way of thinking: cash flow vs accumulation and how to build multigenerational wealth with a system instead of a guess. You'll see: What is the difference between cash flow and accumulation investing in real life How to shift from accumulation to cash flow in your personal finances How to manage cash flow like a business in your personal economy The role of cash flowing assets, Infinite Banking, and trusts in building multigenerational wealth How Secure Act 2.0 and current tax rules affect inherited accounts and cash flow My goal is not to make you feel behind, but to help you feel equipped. You can design a personal cash flow strategy that supports your lifestyle now and continues to bless your family long after you're gone. Why Cash Flow vs Accumulation: How to Build Multigenerational Wealth Matters Now At the simplest level, accumulation is about growing a balance; cash flow is about growing an income stream. Most people are taught the accumulation mindset from day one. Work hard, spend less than you make, and stash the difference in a 401(k), IRA, or brokerage account. You watch the balance grow over time and hope it's enough. Cash flow asks a different set of questions. Instead of “How much do I have?” it asks, “What is this money doing? How much sustainable income does it produce? How easily can my family access it? And how long will it last?” Accumulation is about mass; cash flow is about motion. Mass can look impressive on paper. Motion is what pays the bills, funds opportunities, and supports your heirs without forcing them to sell assets at the worst possible time. When you start thinking this way, your focus shifts from chasing the biggest number to designing the strongest system. What Is the Difference Between Cash Flow and Accumulation Investing? Let's make this practical. Accumulation investing looks like this: your paycheck comes in, your bills go out, and whatever is left—if anything—gets swept into a savings account, retirement plan, or investment account. You might reinvest dividends automatically, but you're mostly watching the line go up and down on a graph and hoping the long-term trend is favorable. Cash flow investing is more intentional. You still earn income, still pay expenses, but you do one crucial thing differently: you give that surplus a job. Instead of leaving it to drift, you send it into assets that are designed to pay you on a regular basis. That might be a rental property, a share in a business, a private lending fund, a dividend-paying stock portfolio, or a policy loan strategy built on whole life insurance. The key is that these assets put money back into your personal economy as a dependable stream, not just a fluctuating account value. Accumulation is “I hope this is enough someday.”Cash flow is “I know what this produces every month, and I can plan around it.” How to Shift from Accumulation to Cash Flow in Personal Finance The shift doesn't happen with one dramatic move; it happens through a series of decisions. The first step is awareness. You need to see your personal economy the way a CFO sees a business. That means tracking not just your balance, but your flow. How much truly comes in? Where exactly does it go? What is the consistent surplus? Once you know the surplus, you can stop letting it evaporate. This is where Bruce's idea of a Wealth Coordination Account becomes powerful. Instead of leaving extra money in the same checking account that pays your groceries and subscriptions, you move it to a separate, dedicated account. That account becomes the home base for your cash flow strategy. It's where you hold cash temporarily while you decide: do we pay down a debt that's draining us? Do we fund a life insurance premium that will expand our long-term options? Do we step into a strategic rental, a business partnership, or a dividend-focused portfolio? Shifting from accumulation to cash flow is less about wild new investments and more about refusing to let surplus be accidental. You become intentional about directing it toward assets that feed you back. How to Manage Cash Flow Like a Business in Your Personal Finances Bruce shared a simple but powerful idea: Run your personal economy the way a healthy business runs its economy. A good business watches: Revenue in Expenses out Profit (cash flow) How quickly profit is redeployed to either increase revenue or decrease expenses You can do the same at home. Track your cash flow clearlyDon't just “check your balance.” Know exactly what's coming in, what's going out, and what's left. Increase income where you canSide business, consulting, a raise, better pricing in your current business—anything that adds more revenue to your personal economy. Decrease unnecessary expensesLook at both:Discretionary spending (the “nice to haves”) Non-discretionary spending (insurance, utilities, groceries) where you can shop, renegotiate, or restructure. Capture the surplus in a separate “Wealth Coordination Account”This is something Bruce and I teach often:Create a separate account for excess cash flowDon't let it disappear into your normal spending Use this account to fund your cash flow strategy, pay premiums, and invest in new opportunities This is the heart of cash flow planning—directing every dollar on purpose. How to Create a Personal Cash Flow Strategy That Supports Your Life A personal cash flow strategy isn't just a budget. It's a design for how money moves through your life: Income sources W-2 income Business income Rental income Dividends and distributions Core expenses Lifestyle (home, food, transportation, education) Taxes Debt payments Surplus (profit) This is what flows into your Wealth Coordination Account Redeployment planYou decide in advance: What percentage goes to debt reduction What percentage goes to cash flowing assets What percentage goes to premiums on your whole life policies What percentage stays liquid for opportunities This is how you manage your cash flow instead of reacting to it. Over time, this system builds stability for you and creates a foundation for multigenerational wealth planning. Cash Flow vs Accumulation: How to Build Multigenerational Wealth in Practice So how do we make cash flow vs accumulation truly multigenerational? Bruce and his wife use a simple repeatable framework: Cash flowing assets (businesses, rentals, funds) send income into a Wealth Coordination Account. That account pays premiums for permanent life insurance policies. As cash value grows, they borrow against policies to purchase more cash flowing investments. The new cash flow goes back to: Repay policy loans Rebuild the Wealth Coordination Account Fund additional opportunities Rinse and repeat. On the legacy side: Trusts are structured so that death benefits and cash flowing assets pass in an organized, tax-aware way to nieces, nephews, and charities. The trust language gives guidance and guardrails for how the next generation should use policy loans, pay them back, and take out new policies on their own lives and their children's lives. This is how building generational wealth with cash flow becomes a repeatable family system, not just a one-time event.
In this January 5 episode of RattlerGator Report, JB White opens the first full week of 2026 with a wide-ranging, unscripted broadcast that centers on Venezuela and the reported capture of Nicolás Maduro. JB walks listeners through his thinking on the operation, pushing back on simplified explanations and emphasizing the multiple layers involved, from foreign intelligence interests to global power dynamics. He discusses Donald Trump's role as commander in chief, the strategic use of confusion, and why the event should not be reduced to oil, CIA obsession, or surface-level narratives. The conversation expands to include the Monroe Doctrine, British financial influence, Cuba, China, Russia, and the broader geopolitical chessboard surrounding Venezuela. Along the way, JB weaves in personal updates, audience interaction, sports commentary, and reflections on discernment, leverage, and misinformation. The episode closes with continued emphasis on thinking beyond single explanations, understanding hierarchy and strategy, and recognizing the scale of what JB views as a world-historic moment unfolding in real time.
Author, terrorism analyst, and DePaul University history professor Dr. Thomas Mockaitis joins John Williams to discuss the U.S. seizing Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro to put him on trial in New York for drug trafficking and other federal crimes.
