April Fools' Day is traditionally a time to be on the lookout for light-hearted pranks and practical jokes. Mobile bill price increases are no joke, but every April, mobile contracts could increase by up to 7% with other networks – not with Tesco Mobile Ireland, however. As other mobile networks prepare to introduce annual mid-contract price increases, Tesco Mobile Ireland has today reaffirmed its commitment to No Annual Price Increases for all new and existing bill pay customers over the lifetime of a 24-month contract. Tesco Mobile was the first network in Ireland to commit to No Annual Price Increases in 2021, setting the standard for price stability in the market. Today, with almost 500,000 customers, it is Ireland's largest MVNO and continues to lead in delivering consistent customer value and price transparency. Against this backdrop, new research from Tesco Mobile Ireland of more than 1,000 consumers reveals growing mobile and utility "bill anxiety" among Irish consumers and a clear demand for greater stability in the market. When asked about bill predictability, 94% of consumers rated it extremely or very important, showing just how much consumers rely on stable costs to feel in control of their monthly mobile spend. In the survey's wider look at what influences provider choice, value for money and a reliable, high?quality network came through as the top considerations, with 43% choosing value for money as their main driver and 26% prioritising network quality. Tesco Mobile's renewed commitment to No Annual Price Increases directly addresses these expectations. Tesco Mobile customers can get great value, beyond just price. They get the same reliability and coverage of a big network but with the added value and service of Tesco, along with exclusive Clubcard Prices on phones, plans, points and rewards when they spend. Sean Nolan, Director of Online and Mobile, Tesco Ireland, commented, "People want a mobile provider they can trust, with great value and a network that won't let them down. Back in 2021, we promised no annual price increases, and we're sticking to that promise today. Keeping things fair and straightforward has brought more and more customers our way, and we're delighted to keep growing with them." The research also highlights the real emotional and financial consequences of mobile bill price uncertainty. Almost nine in ten (88%) consumers say they would shop around if their mobile provider introduced a price increase, while 30% say unpredictable bills make them trust their provider less. Beyond switching behaviour, mobile bill volatility is affecting household confidence. Six in ten consumers say unpredictable mobile costs undermine their financial confidence, or cause emotional strain, with 26% feeling less in control of their finances, and one in five (20%) reporting stress or anxiety. Many also say uncertainty impacts their everyday spending and budgeting decisions, underlining the wider ripple effect of mid-contract price hikes.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine new questions surrounding departing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's $220 million advertising spending, react to a weak February jobs report, and marvel at the cutting-edge missile technology that reportedly eliminated Ayatollah Khameini and many other top Iranian leaders.First, they continue digging into how the Department of Homeland Security spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars on advertising. The scrutiny intensifies as details emerge showing that only a small number of contractors were considered for the work, many of them with personal connections to outgoing Sec. Kristi Noem.Next, they wince at the February jobs report, which shows a net loss of 92,000 jobs and the unemployment rate rising to 4.4 percent. Some experts note other key points, including that many of the job losses are in government. But Jim argues Republicans must avoid repeating a key mistake from the Biden era when it comes to the economy.Finally, Jim and Greg are fascinated by the Blue Sparrow missile used in the strike that killed Ayatollah Khameini and dozens of other Iranian leaders last weekend. The technology behind the weapon is remarkable, but Jim still has one important question.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Go to https://CoastPay.com/MARTINI to see how you can earn up to a $2000 credit.Download Noble Gold's free Wealth Protection Kit — visit https://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3ML to learn how to build lasting financial security.New episodes every weekday.

Most contractors think winning in government contracting means being the biggest, loudest, or cheapest. In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Ryan Atencio explains why some of the most successful federal suppliers are companies you've never heard of—and how they quietly generate billions by staying close to the customer. You'll learn why integrators and solution providers win by being physically present, saying "yes" more often, and making it easy for government buyers to get quotes fast. From $290K supply deals at 7–8% margins to becoming the single point of contact customers rely on, this episode breaks down why sales psychology, relationships, and convenience outperform technical expertise every time. Key Takeaways Why unknown contractors win billions by staying in front of customers How low-margin ($290K) deals create long-term GovCon leverage Why being the "one they call" beats competing on price or size If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/  Website: https://govcongiants.org/  Connect with Encore Funding: http://govcongiants.org/funding

Welcome back to the show! Today we're diving into something that has the power to completely transform your business, and honestly, your life too. We're talking about network expansion and why consistently meeting new people is one of the most important habits you can build, especially as a mom running a real estate business.Over the years, I've talked to countless agents, week after week, year after year, and I've noticed a pattern. I've seen women who once had thriving businesses suddenly feel like everything slowed down. The leads dried up. The deals stopped flowing. And when we start unpacking why that happened, the answer almost always comes back to one simple question:How are you consistently meeting new people?And a lot of the time… there isn't a clear answer.Show Notes: The two critical questions every agent should ask: How am I consistently meeting new people? and How am I staying relevant after the connection?Creative and traditional networking strategies including open houses, community events, social media, and podcasting as a relationship-building tool.Why focusing on authentic relationships instead of sales tactics leads to long-term business growth.The importance of systems—CRMs, follow-ups, newsletters, and intentional social media engagement—to stay top-of-mind.How moms in real estate can build a successful business by focusing on one or two consistent lead-generation pillars instead of trying to do everything.Resources & Links:Join the Facebook Community: Moms in Real EstateMoms in Real Estate Referral Network: Find referral partners across the U.S.Apply to Be on the PodcastFollow along on Instagram @heykristencantrell & @momsinrealestateWatch on YouTubeSubscribe to our NewsletterBecome a SponsorCheck out our amazing sponsors: Your Tax Coach // Professional Tax Accountants.

"The life you want is not waiting for more effort. It's waiting for you to break the vow." Why do we keep repeating the same patterns in relationships, money, success, or self-worth, even after doing the inner work? In this powerful episode of SoulTalk Podcast, transformational teacher Kute Blackson reveals a hidden force shaping your life: unconscious vows formed in childhood. These invisible contracts were created as survival strategies when we were young; promises we made to stay safe, loved, and accepted. But years later, they can quietly control our decisions, sabotage our growth, and keep us repeating the same cycles. Kute uncovers five powerful unconscious vows that may be running your life without you realizing it from the vow of self-sacrifice to the vow of invisibility, and explains how they influence your identity, relationships, and success. More importantly, he shows you how to identify and release these hidden agreements so you can reclaim your freedom, step into your authentic power, and finally create the life your soul is calling you to live. If you've ever wondered why certain patterns keep repeating despite your best intentions, this episode will open your eyes to the deeper truth and give you the courage to rewrite your destiny.

Where in your life are you staying small, invisible, or holding yourself back to maintain love or approval? Have you developed hyper-independence as a way to protect yourself from disappointment or abandonment? In what ways might loyalty to your family, past, or identity be limiting your growth and success today?

 Study start-up remains one of the most persistent bottlenecks in clinical trials—slowing site activation, delaying patient enrollment, and adding pressure across already stretched teams. In this episode of WCG Talks Trials, host Jamie Harper, Vice President of Site Solutions & Engagement at WCG, is joined by Stephanie Held, Associate Director of Coverage Analysis, and Jody Ingebritsen‑Howe, Director of Contracts & Budgets, to unpack why start-up timelines continue to stall and what can be done to improve them.Together, they explore how Medicare Coverage Analysis (MCA) serves as the foundation for compliant and efficient study start-up, how downstream processes like budgeting, contract negotiations, and CTMS build are impacted by early decisions, and where “hidden” white space can quietly derail timelines.The conversation also highlights practical, actionable steps sites and sponsors can take today—from mapping end‑to‑end workflows to better equipping negotiators with the information they need.Looking ahead, the panel discusses how technology and AI may reshape study activation, while emphasizing the importance of human expertise and alignment across teams.

Episode 208: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-freeWhen it comes to contracts, many coaches and course creators piece together their contracts by copying what someone else used — leaving their business exposed to refund disputes, payment problems, and legal gray areas that could cost them far more than they ever made. Without the right protections in place, a single difficult client can turn into a nightmare with no clear resolution.In this episode, Bobby Klinck teaches us how to build a coaching contract that actually protects your business — covering the key clauses most people overlook, what you should never say in your agreement, and the hidden legal risks lurking in even the most "standard" contracts – everything you want to know before your next client signs on the dotted line.About Bobby Klinck: Bobby is a Harvard Law Grad turned online entrepreneur—but he's NOT your typical lawyer.

Enterprise IT spending is projected to reach $4.5 trillion by 2026, but this growth is concentrated in software, cloud services, and AI infrastructure for large organizations, according to HG Insights and Omdia research cited by Dave Sobel. The system integration market is positioned to approach $950 billion in 2025, with enterprises working with an average of 6.3 technology partners. A substantial surge in AI-optimized server sales, as reflected in Dell Technologies' reported 342% year-over-year increase in revenue for those systems, is reshaping supply chains and vendor dynamics, leading to shortages of DRAM, SSDs, and hard drives. Underlying this development are volatile component costs. DRAM prices have doubled quarter over quarter, and both Micron Technologies and Western Digital have indicated they are sold out for 2026. HP reports that RAM now constitutes 35% of new PC materials costs, up dramatically from 18% the previous quarter. Such cost shifts are creating downstream risks for managed service providers (MSPs) with fixed-price agreements, as the economic assumptions underpinning many contracts—stable hardware prices and predictable cloud costs—no longer hold. The episode also highlights an increase in application sprawl and a widening gap between IT budgets and other operational costs. A Torii report shows large enterprises use over 2,191 applications on average, with more than 61% bypassing formal IT approvals, resulting in unmanaged security and compliance exposure. Additionally, 80% of small businesses report rising energy costs that directly compete with IT budget allocations. Industry analysis from Jefferies and Boston Consulting Group signals that AI and automation are not viewed uniformly as productivity boosters and may compress revenue models in both Indian and domestic IT services sectors. The practical implication for MSPs is the urgent need to audit and reprice contracts related to hardware procurement and refresh cycles, clearly documenting and communicating current cost realities with clients. Dave Sobel stresses reframing device lifecycle extensions as a security risk rather than a cost-saving measure and warns against selling clients on speculative AI market projections. The advice is to focus on specific, scoped use cases and to structure agreements that accurately reflect volatility in component costs and the operational burden of application sprawl, ensuring financial and legal accountability as the IT services landscape evolves. 00:00 $4.96T IT Spend Surge Bypasses SMBs as AI Infrastructure Captures Enterprise Budgets 03:58 Dell's $43B AI Server Backlog Triggers DRAM Shortage, Repricing Downstream Hardware 05:52 AI Shrinks IT Services Revenue Model; MSPs Face Contested Implementation Role   This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:

For years, I built a life that proved I could stand on my own.I worked hard in high school. I excelled in college. I climbed in corporate. I positioned myself to be self-sufficient, strategic, and stable. I didn't want to need anyone. And if I'm honest, I didn't want to need God beyond what felt reasonable.When I read Hannah's story, I filtered it through my own lens — strong woman, misunderstood pain, quiet endurance. I saw her grief. I saw the opposition. I saw the longing. But I missed the moment when Elkanah asked her, “Am I not more to you than ten sons?”It hit differently when I realized God was asking me the same question.In the midst of building, grinding, proving, and positioning… was He not enough? Was I trusting my resume more than His sovereignty? My network more than His provision? My effort more than His hand?The last two years of full-time entrepreneurship stripped away the illusion of control. Revenue shifts. Contracts end. Plans pivot. And in every uncertain moment, the question echoed again: Am I not enough? Is this not what you called me to?Hannah's breakthrough didn't come from striving harder to produce a child. It came when she turned her focus fully toward God in the middle of opposition. When she stopped looking left and right for affirmation and poured her heart out before Him. And in His timing, not hers, He moved. And He moved abundantly. God reminds us that dependence is not weakness. He reminds us that when we fix our eyes on Him instead of the noise around us, He is able to bless abundantly — even in ways that disrupt our original plans.He moves.He provides.He answers.Sometimes in direct opposition to what we thought we wanted — but always in alignment with what is good. So the question is, my friends, when everything else is stripped away, is He enough?Reference Scripture:1 Samuel 1:5–20Support the show

This week on The Tax Factor, Paul Noble and Sarah Stenton kick things off with a roundup of the Top 3 tax stories making headlines, setting the scene for a discussion of some of the most talked-about developments in tax this week. Paul and Sarah begin with discussing Income Tax exemptions for major sporting events, including the Winter Olympics and the forthcoming Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, explaining why these exemptions are introduced and how they operate in practice. They then examine the Netherlands’ proposed wealth tax, exploring the potential impact of taxing unrealised gains and what it could mean. The conversation also covers the rise in zero-hours contracts, highlighting the tax and policy considerations linked to changes in the UK workforce.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you using the right contract for your building projects in Texas?In this episode of the Your Project Shepherd Podcast, Curtis Lawson sits down with three industry leaders to unpack the value, structure, and legal protection behind TAB Contracts:Frances Blake – General Counsel & VP of Regulatory Affairs, Texas Association of BuildersAdam Aschmann – Senior Vice President & General Counsel, Tilson HomesDonald Shelton – Attorney/Shareholder, Bush Rudnicki Shelton, PCTAB (Texas Association of Builders) contracts are specifically written for residential construction in Texas — and they're designed to protect builders operating under Texas law.In this conversation, we cover:Why TAB contracts exist and how they differ from generic templatesCommon contract mistakes that expose builders to unnecessary legal riskHow properly structured agreements protect both builders and homeownersThe role contracts play in dispute prevention and risk managementWhy professional builders should treat contracts as a strategic tool — not just paperworkIf you're a custom home builder, remodeler, or residential contractor in Texas, this episode will help you better understand how to protect your business and operate more professionally.Contracts aren't just legal documents — they set expectations, define relationships, and can determine whether a project ends in success or in court.Listen in and learn why TAB contracts may be one of the most important investments you make in your business.

There comes a point in many therapy careers where working harder is no longer the solution. You can raise your fees. You can tighten your cancellation policy. You can fill every slot on your calendar. And still feel financially vulnerable.In this episode, Ashley Stephens and I explore why supervision often becomes the smarter revenue stream at that stage. Not because it is easy. Not because it is trendy. But because it is structurally different from therapy income.Supervision is tied to licensure. Associates are required to have it in order to practice and accrue hours. That built-in demand creates a level of predictability that weekly therapy referrals simply do not. When designed intentionally, supervision can become a steady arm of your income instead of a reactive scramble.We also slow down and talk about ethics. Required does not mean exploitative. Supervisees deserve clarity, transparency, and the ability to reassess the relationship. Supervisors have obligations too. Contracts matter. Review points matter. Documentation matters. When those systems are in place, supervision supports both parties instead of draining them.And we address the legal realities. Supervising across state lines is not something you assume your way into. The compact does not automatically grant supervision privileges. Most states require full licensure and specific supervisor training. Getting this wrong can cost a supervisee their hours. That is not a risk worth taking.In this episode, we discuss:How supervision creates more predictable income than session-based therapy aloneThe difference between stable revenue and predatory practicesWhy long-term supervisory relationships can reduce burnoutWhat to confirm before offering supervision in another stateIf you have been thinking about adding supervision to your practice or shifting more fully into it, this conversation will help you evaluate that decision through an ethical and business lens. Not as a side hustle. Not as a last resort. But as a deliberate professional move.Download our free resource, Stop Working for Free: The Therapist Fee Reset, to identify where your practice may be leaking money.And if you are ready to build supervision into your model with strong systems and clean boundaries, that is exactly what we teach inside our Step It Up Membership.Get your step by step guide to private practice.

Month-to-month SEO contracts sound flexible and low risk. Cancel anytime. No long commitment. But is that actually a smart way to build long-term visibility for your business?In this episode, we break down the truth about month-to-month SEO agreements and why real search growth rarely fits into a 30-day window. We explain how SEO compounds over time, why stopping and restarting resets momentum, and what kind of runway serious local businesses should expect before judging results.If you want to understand whether a month-to-month SEO contract protects you or limits your growth, this episode will help you make a more strategic decision.About Adam Duran, Digital Marketing Expert⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Local SEO in 10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is helmed by Local SEO expert Adam Duran, director of Magnified Media.

What happens when you put yourself in a room full of creatives and actually commit to building something? In this episode of Better Call Daddy, I'm joined by Priscilla Mensah and my dad, Wayne Friedman, to talk about what we learned from our Creative Entrepreneurship Bootcamp at Houston Community College. We didn't just talk about ideas — we talked about execution. Sales. Contracts. Insurance. Separating personal and business finances. Sustainability. Mindset. The stuff people don't always glamorize. Priscilla Mensah and I share what it feels like to test your ideas in real time — and why showing up (even when you're unsure) is what really moves the needle. We talk about: • Why creativity without sales doesn't scale • The power of being in community with other builders • Learning from setbacks instead of hiding from them • Why every entrepreneur has to get comfortable with vulnerability And of course, Dad weighs in with wisdom about surrounding yourself with creative people who push you forward. If you've been sitting on an idea… this one's for you. Because you don't need to be famous to be powerful. You need to show up.

What We Cover In This Episode: Why operating on trust alone is not a strategy and how to move your business out of the "gray" and into the "black and white" [13:50] The loophole test you can do right now and other operational best practices for shoring up your agreements before a difficult client does [17:12] An effective strategy for reducing staff stress and shortening difficult cancellation conversations [22:30] Why a freeze policy is a retention strategy rather than a loophole, and how a modest fee keeps members psychologically committed [29:25]  Quotes:     "The more things you can get black and white and out of the grey, decision fatigue isn't going to hit you the same way and the emotional part behind it." [Nick, 2:43] "We want to contrast the differences in emotional-driven policy decisions versus operationally-sound policy decisions. It's a good exercise to take yourself out of the business. It is very easy to take this business personally." [Nick, 8:45]   "Over complicating the cancellation policy is going to cause chargebacks, negative reviews, regulatory risk and staff stress."

This episode reframes how we think about love and relationships by contrasting fragile, contract-style arrangements with the resilient, biblical model of covenant. Drawing from marriage research, Scripture, and decades of walking with couples in crisis, J. Warner Wallace explains why seeing marriage (and other key relationships) as covenants radically changes how you date, marry, and relate—whether you are single, engaged, or married.​ You'll hear why people who "love marriage" itself tend to have stronger, more sacrificial relationships, how your marriage (or singleness) is always preaching something to the watching world, and why thinking of relationships as contracts actually trains us to look for exit clauses instead of opportunities to serve. The episode unpacks the idea of a 100–0 covenant mindset—giving 100% with 0% demand in return—as an expression of a deeper covenant with Jesus, and shows how this posture can transform conflict, expectations, and long-term commitment.

On this week's show, Kathryn caught up with Paige Onweller and Cécile Lejeune from Cécile's home in Tucson. The pair are teammates on the Trek Driftless team this year. Paige has been with the team for a few years, but this is a new setup for Cécile, so they chat about how this came about, what pro contracts on a team typically look like, and the benefits of being part of a team. Paige is in Tucson to train with her teammate, and test herself out on some fast group rides as she is coming back from a concussion after being hit by a car in August of 2025. She and Cécile fill us in on how their winter training has been going, and what they are looking forward to this year. Both women have struggled with RED-S in the past, and they talk with Kathryn about how this shapes their view on fuelling now, as well as the importance of fuelling for both performance and health.Follow Cécile on Instagram @cecilejeuneFollow Paige on Instagram @paigepowered
