If you've ever written on your pricing page “60 images, two outfits, 90 minutes” and hoped that would justify the $2,500 brand session… this episode is for you, my friend.Inside Rebrand, the first thing we look at with new students is their pricing. Because we can't fix your marketing and sales if your positioning is off. And pricing is one of the very first ways people decide how to categorize you.And what I see over and over again is sales pages that read like a Cheesecake Factory menu. So in this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between features and value, and why features don't close four-figure sales.We're talking:The difference between cost-based pricing and value-based pricingWhy listing session length and image count isn't the same as communicating valueHow to turn features (like “3-hour session” or “60 images”) into benefits that actually sellThe biggest pricing positioning mistake brand photographers makeA quick diagnostic exercise to see if you're selling features instead of transformationWhy raising your prices has more to do with clarity than adding more deliverablesLinks & Resources✨ Join Rebrand: If you want clients who don't flinch at your pricing and who see your work as an investment, not a commodity, that's exactly what we work of inside my group coaching program.

On this Ticked Off Tuesday, Jared goes IN on modern everyday chaos: adults who treat a bakery menu like it's the Cheesecake Factory (bring back the 30sec shot clock), group fitness rebels doing the exact opposite of every move, people who somehow still can't open email attachments, and the nonstop-talking plane mom who blocks the aisle while packing her entire life at landing.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Burger King's president's invitation to guests to give him a call, Wingstop's first negative sales year in two decades, and why limited-time offers don't seem to work quite as well as they used to. First up is Burger King, which is enjoying some sales momentum as it doubles down on its Whopper platform. President Tom Curtis announced that he would spend four hours a day responding to texts and calls from customers on a dedicated line, demonstrating the chain's commitment to improving around guest feedback. Sam and Alicia discuss the ambitious plan, which has earned positive feedback from around the industry and could further fuel Burger King's momentum. Next up is burger competitor Jack in the Box, which had yet another bad quarter, with same-store sales declining 6.7%. Why is this value chain struggling so mightily even when consumers are looking for budget-conscious offerings? Sam and Alicia dig into the chain's woes, which could include its limited-time offer strategy. In fact, according to Alicia's recent reporting, LTOs may not be working like they used to for restaurant chains. She and Sam unpack why that could be. Next they talk about Wingstop, which saw its same-store sales decline 3.3% in 2025 — its first such decline in 20 years. Alicia explains the steps the company plans to take to reverse fortunes in 2026, including roll out of its Smart Kitchen operation, which helps cut service times. Finally, they talk about two casual-dining heavyweights that are slogging through a softer consumer environment: Texas Roadhouse and The Cheesecake Factory. While Texas Roadhouse's sales were up last quarter, its profitability was down as the company contends with historic beef prices. Meanwhile, The Cheesecake Factory saw its sales comps decline by 2.2%. Is there anything to learn about the full-service category in this news? Sam and Alicia break it down.For more on these stories: Burger King president Tom Curtis to take calls from customersWingstop eyes growth despite another quarter of same-store sales declineTexas Roadhouse continues to navigate high beef costs

Subway is already backpedaling on its newest loyalty offer. Cheesecake Factory is hoping for a sales warm-up. And Jack in the Box is working to get back on track.

In this episode of Parenting Is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with longtime friend and comedian Jon Fisch to talk about becoming the parent he always knew he wanted to be—just not in the order he expected—starting with the moment he learned his girlfriend was pregnant while sitting across from his mother at a Cheesecake Factory in the Natick Mall. They trade stories about raising young kids during COVID, from how lockdown accidentally turned Jon's son into an early, voracious reader thanks to curbside bookstore recommendations, to navigating a preemie birth amid constantly shifting hospital rules that changed by the nursing shift. The conversation drifts easily between creative life and parenting logic, including Jon's observation that stand-up used to provide “purpose” at night until kids rewired the entire day, and how slowing down during the pandemic made comedy feel more enjoyable again. The heart of the episode lands on a darkly funny family legend involving his niece's beloved owl lovey—one of many identical backups—which Jon confirms his brother once decapitated in a moment of exhausted bedtime brinkmanship, a parenting move so extreme it later came full circle when that same niece gifted her remaining owls to Jon's newborn daughter.

Bagweed music follows in the footsteps of eclectic, sonically diverse, pop-forward artists like Beck: he combines sounds, styles, and textures that hew toward synthesis and smoothness rather than dissonance. We discuss his brand-new collection of songs, "Thank You for Remaining Still", which dropped just last week and is currently available for purchase. That cleared plenty of room for a healthy dialogue on the differences between vom and regurge; the art of getting in and out of a song on time; pushing the human limits of food expiration dates; and the expanding joys of songwriting as his skill and knowledge grow.  Music this week:"Thank You for Remaining Still" by Bagweed (21:16)"Vodka Butterfly" by Ghost Bath (44:43)"Carmen Sandiego" by Bagweed (61:35)"Waitin' Around" by Custodians (77:19)"Break a Leg" by Black Eyes (94:13)

Emily Reynolds' journey to PR agency owner reveals a fundamental truth: authentic success comes from following genuine curiosity rather than predetermined paths. After discovering that motherhood redirected her toward meaningful advocacy, she found her true calling in public relations—amplifying voices and helping others communicate authentically. Her business development philosophy rejects artificial tactics in favor of genuine human connection, seeking out places she naturally frequented and engaging authentically with people she encountered. This approach became her hiring principle as well, prioritizing team members who possess natural curiosity and cultural awareness. Emily's most transformative insight is that specialization, not expansion, drives business growth. Rather than offering everything to everyone, she focused her agency on reputation management and lifestyle work within food and beverage—becoming exceptional at one thing instead of mediocre at many. This clarity builds trust and connection; vagueness creates skepticism. She also emphasizes that crisis planning isn't pessimistic but essential. In today's rapid-fire information environment, businesses that have predetermined communication protocols and decision-making processes navigate challenges successfully, while those caught unprepared can tank in seconds. Emily integrated philosophy—pursuing genuine interests, specializing ruthlessly, building authentic relationships, and planning proactively—transforms businesses from struggling to thriving.

Most companies plateau. Brad shows you why and how to break through. In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad Sugars explains the real ceilings businesses hit at $1M, $3M, and $10M and what it actually takes to push past each one. He breaks down the “million-dollar founder ceiling,” where everything still runs through you; the $3M systems ceiling, where the business is trapped in people's heads instead of documented processes; and the $10M leadership ceiling, where growth stalls because you haven't built leaders who can build the next phase.Brad also dives into the biggest enemy of scale: complexity. He explains why simplifying products, narrowing focus, and doing the one thing you can be the best in the world at is the fastest path to $100M. He shares lessons from Apple, McDonald's, and even Cheesecake Factory to show how modularization and clarity unlock leverage.From there, Brad walks you through the real choke points that stop companies from scaling, and how each one suffocates growth if you don't solve it early. He then lays out the path forward: building systems at $1M, building leaders at $3M, and building strategy at $10M, so you can scale from there to $100M and beyond.If you want to understand exactly why businesses stall, and what to do next, this is the episode for you. See you next week, on the 100M Entrepreneur Podcast, new episode every Wednesday.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

Over the years of starting, scaling and selling many businesses, Brad has earned his fair share of scars. Being an entrepreneur is not an easy road. But if you can learn from those who have gone before you, it becomes a lot easier than going at it alone.Please click here to learn more about Brad Sugars: https://bradsugars.com/Learn the Fundamentals of Success for free:The Big Success Starter: https://results.bradsugars.com/thebigsuccess-starter

En paralelo, habla de la compra de Vips a Walmart en México, una apuesta multimillonaria que transformó el portafolio de Alsea y también momentos clave como la tormentosa adquisición de Italianni's, el desarrollo de marcas como PF Chang's, Chili's y Cheesecake Factory, así como intentos fallidos en conceptos como Popeyes, CPK o su inversión en Grupo Axo. Prueba Whitepaper 30 días gratisCompra tu gorra o ilustraciones de Whitepaper aquí

Good morning! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome Rita Heikenfeld to share more make ahead recipes for Thanksgiving. Other guests include Courtney Brown from Ruah Woods, Gary Michuta from Hands On Apologetics, and Fr. Robert Nixon, O.S.B., with reflections on silence from Thomas a Kempis. Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** A Prayer for Grace and Guidance O Lord God almighty, who has brought to us to the beginning of this day, defend us in the same by Your power; that we may not this day fall into any sin, but that all our thoughts, words, and works may be directed to the fulfillment of Your will. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen. ***** THANKSGIVING RECIPE IDEAS FROM RITA Sweet Potato Coins4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-1/2” rounds1/4 cup olive oil or more if needed1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves2 generous teaspoons minced garlic1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes1 teaspoon saltExtra sprigs of thyme Preheat oven to 400. Toss potatoes with oil, thyme, garlic, pepper and salt. Place standing each coin up on sprayed cookie sheet. Add extra thyme sprigs around potatoes. Roast 40-45 minutes. Serves 4. ***** Sweet Potato Soufflé (from listener Karen Lance) Casserole:3-4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cooked, and mashed1 cup sugar3/4 cup melted butter2 beaten eggs1 tsp cinnamon1 tsp vanilla1/4 tsp allspice1/3 cup milk Topping1/4 cup flour1/3 cup melted butter1 cup light brown sugar1 cup chopped pecans Mix together casserole ingredients and pour into oblong baking dish.Bake 15 minutes at 350, then reduce temperature to 300 and bake for 10 more minutes.Mix together ingredients for topping, add to the top of sweet potato mixture, and bake for another 15 minutes at 350. ***** Rita’s Clone of Cheesecake Factory’s Cheesecake This cake is so rich that I use a 9” pan. If you use an 8” pan, plan on baking a bit longer. An 8” pan makes thicker slices, and they look almost as high as Cheesecake Factory’s. The taste is so similar you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference!Crust:1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs1 tablespoon or so of sugar1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon5 tablespoons melted butterMix until crumbly, not pasty. Pat into 9” springform pan going up the sides a bit. Set aside while making filling: Filling:1 pound cream cheese, room temperature1 cup sour cream1-1/4 cups sugar1 teaspoon vanilla3 tablespoons brown sugar15 oz canned pumpkin2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice1/2 teaspoon cinnamon4 eggs, lightly beatenPreheat oven to 350. Beat cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add pumpkin and spices and blend. Add eggs and blend until mixed. Pour into pan. Bake 40-45 minutes until center is almost set but still wobbly. Turn oven off but leave cheesecake in with oven door shut for 30 minutes more. This will finish the baking process and prevent a lot of “cracking” on top. Refrigerate several hours or up to 2 days to complete firming up of cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream and nuts if you like. Serves 10-12. ***** Annie’s Family Bread Stuffing 3 Tablespoons chopped onion1/4 Cup butter4 Cups dry bread cubes (about 7 slices cut or torn)1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon pepper1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning1/2 teaspoon ground sage2-4 tablespoons water or chicken broth Cook onion in butter, combine with bread and seasoning. Toss with enough liquid to moisten Makes 3 cups stuffing or enough stuffing for a 4-5 pound chicken. For a 10 pound turkey, double the recipe. ***** Matt’s Crispy Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Shallots and Bacon 1 pound Brussels sprouts1/4 pound bacon, cut into 1/2 inch wide strips3 shallotsOlive OilBlack Pepper to taste Preheat oven to 400. Slice shallots, and cut of stems of Brussels sprouts and halve them. Add sprouts, shallots, and bacon to a large mixing bowl, and toss with olive oil and black pepper. Bake on a sheet pan or in a pyrex dish for 10 minutes, toss, and bake for 5-10 more, until desired crispiness is reached. ***** Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Futures waren einige Stunden vor Handelsstart stark im Plus, haben die gesamten Gewinne vor dem Start abgegeben. Seit Anfang September ging es an einem Montag im Nasdaq 100 zumeist bergauf. Wer nur an dem Tag in dem Index investiert war, blickt seit Anfang September auf eine Performance von 11%. Die Aktien von Google stehen weiterhin im Fokus. Berkshire Hathaway hat während des dritten Quartals eine rund $4 Mrd. Beteiligung aufgebaut. Bill Ackman von Pershing Square hat 6,3 Millionen Aktien in den Alphabet Class C-Aktien gehalten, und die Anteile an den Alphabet Class-A Aktien von 5,4 auf 4,8 Millionen gesenkt. Diese Woche soll Gemini 3 von Google an den Start gehen. Einige glauben, dass man damit OpenAI und Anthropic überholen wird. Dass Donald Trump die Zölle auf diverse Nahrungsmittel senken wird, könnte den Aktien der Restaurant- und Getränke-Bereich zugutekommen. Barron's nennt Starbucks, Chipotle, Cheesecake Factory und Keurig Dr. Pepper als Gewinner. Aramark ist auf den Betrieb von Cafeterias und Lebensmittel für Restaurants und im Unterhaltungsbereich etabliert. Die Aktie ist nach verfehlten Zahlen und Aussichten unter Druck.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét trace the origins of phrases like The Great White Way and The Silver Screen and identify their personal “hear me out” moments. They test how good they are at identifying inches, debate whether saying “nevermind” mid-thought is annoying, and reveal if they have accents in their heads. Bob and Monét play a compromise game—deciding on a shared pet, a desert island playlist, and a party guest list. They talk cats vs. dogs, why reptiles are a bad idea, and the ground rules for sharing a car. Plus, does The Cheesecake Factory really have something for everyone?

Episode 71 of She Said It First brings all the smoke and the laughs with special guest Nicholas “Mr. Bankshot” Banks. Jerrilyn and Lynee’ waste no time roasting their friend like only besties can—calling him out for showing up late, questioning his “Lovely Day” legacy, and debating who’s really the best friend in the room. In What Irritated Me the Most This Week, the crew takes aim at people who can’t mind their business online, poking fun at the way trolls create drama out of thin air just to get attention. From there, the conversation shifts to Bankshot’s creative career—his viral parodies, stand-up comedy, and Twitch streaming—where he breaks down how authenticity beats chasing algorithms every time. Naturally, Jerrilyn and Lynee’ have questions about just how many hours a man can spend on a gaming console before it stops being “work” and starts being a problem. The episode rounds out with their signature mix of comedy and real talk, touching on relationships, Cheesecake Factory dates, and whether men should ever be paying for girls’ night tabs. With endless laughs, sharp side-eyes, and the kind of roasting only friends can get away with, this one proves: lovely day or not, Bankshot wasn’t safe in that studio.

“As Scripture reveals, the kind of wisdom we drink in ultimately guides our choices. It conditions our thoughts and molds our character and habits to become who we are. It influences the longings and desires of our heart and the ways we seek to find meaning. The right question then becomes, what kind of wisdom are we currently being guided by?” - An excerpt from The Man You're Meant to Be. There's a lot of talk lately about men and manhood. The rise of the so-called "manosphere" is a major factor in this. As we've talked about before, social media and podcasts and other forms of media are can be so specific as ecosystems that it's easier than ever to be fed almost exclusively however you want to - like going to a Cheesecake Factory but choosing to only get the same thing repeatedly. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing - the choice you make can be delicious and you can enjoy it every day. But . . . it can also mean that you're only being fed by one source and that can and will begin to shape you. What you intake (what you watch or listen to) can and will shape your worldview. This is a major part of the manhood conversation and a part of the new book The Man You're Meant to Be by my friend John Simons. John was a pastor at Saddleback Church working with men and is currently the men's pastor at Rolling Hills Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee. In this conversation John and I talk about how the loneliness epidemic is affecting men, the impact of outside voices, wisdom from above vs. wisdom from below, and much more.Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 400 episodes. Episodes release every Tuesday on your favorite podcast app and on the Saddleback Church YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/saddleback).Resources Related to This Episode:https://www.amazon.com/Man-Youre-Meant-Self-Examination-Hypocrite/dp/B0DT88FFDYSubscribe to the Doable Discipleship podcast at Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doable-discipleship/id1240966935) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/1Zc9nuwQZOLadbFCZCmZ1V)Related Doable Discipleship Episodes: The Urgency of Grace in a Worn Out World with David Zahl - https://youtu.be/kiOQU4TO3QULiving with Hope in the Midst of Struggle with Alan Noble - https://youtu.be/99Nki49V0fIDelighting in Jesus with Asheritah Ciuciu - https://youtu.be/nHFPW4QLc9sEmbracing Brokenness with Michael John Cusick - https://youtu.be/Wzky80I2lPwMysteries of Faith: Prayer - https://youtu.be/9rFBmBKiNxILiving Hope with Phil Wickham - https://youtu.be/1U_aetP2H0MLonging for Joy with Alastair Sterne - https://youtu.be/HNXAl4wTmIcNavigating the Bible: Genesis - https://youtu.be/ddhjMfOoasA

Ever looked at a closet full of clothes and thought, “I have nothing to wear”, well this episode is for you. I'm joined by Conni Jespersen, wardrobe stylist and founder of Art in the Find, who has spent the last decade helping women build intentional wardrobes that feel personal, practical, and pulled together. Conni shares how to “shop your own closet” and rediscover pieces you already own, why a tiny tweak like changing a neckline can transform an outfit, and her genius “In-N-Out, not Cheesecake Factory” method for editing your wardrobe so getting dressed feels effortless. This conversation is practical, inspiring, and packed with those “why didn't I try this sooner?!” moments that will have you reaching for forgotten favorites and feeling like they're brand new. Whether you want to simplify your mornings, refresh your fall wardrobe, or just feel more confident in your clothes, Connie's approach proves that no overhaul is required — just small, intentional steps that make a big difference.

Breaking now — California politics turned upside down!

Futurist Kevin Cirilli is there for the annual economic summit, where the future of interest rates — and even Jerome Powell's job as Fed Chair — could be on the line.
