France's balancing act in the Middle East war. Convincing women to run in France's local elections. And the French village where Iran's first supreme leader spent his last months in exile. France has deployed navy vessels to the Mediterranean and Red Sea to protect countries attacked by Iran in retaliation for strikes by the United States and Israel. It says it is staying out of the war, maintaining a "strictly defensive" stance to support its allies and protect its interests in the region. Defence expert Guillaume Lagane, who teaches international relations at Sciences Po Paris, examines France's position and the delicate balancing act it is pursuing. (Listen @2'45'') France heads to the polls on 15 and 22 March to elect its mayors and town councillors. We already know that half of the councillors will be women, after a 2025 law imposed gender-balanced lists in every one of France's nearly 35,000 communes. Putting forward an equal number of male and female candidates can be challenging in a village like Fresnes-lès-Montauban in northern France, where non-profit Elles Aussi is helping encourage women to run. Julia Mouzon, founder of the Elues Locales network that supports and promotes women in politics, talks about the collective achievement of getting gender parity on electoral lists – and why there are still so few female mayors. (Listen @18'25'') The small town in France where Iran's first supreme leader, Ruhollah Khomeini, spent his last months in exile, preparing his return to Iran at the height of the 1979 revolution. (Listen @12'35'') Episode mixed by Cecile Pompeani and Arthur Devillers. Spotlight on France is a podcast from Radio France International.

Why are so many people drawn to media figures who thrive on conflict, drama, and promises of secret revelations? Bill Eddy and Megan Hunter of the High Conflict Institute break down the neuroscience behind it—and it turns out your brain is working exactly as designed. The right hemisphere's drive for connection, belonging, and certainty makes all of us vulnerable to conflict-driven personalities, whether we realize it or not. This episode gives you the framework to understand why you get hooked, and practical tools to reclaim your own judgment.Resources from this episode:5 Types of People Who Can Ruin Your LifeManaging High-Conflict Behavior in the Workplace — Training, April 23, 2026Training for Your OrganizationVisit High Conflict InstituteBrowse Books and ResourcesSubmit Questions | Full Show Notes | Bookstore | WebsiteWatch this episode on YouTube!Important Notice: Our discussions focus on behavioral patterns rather than diagnoses.

Max Jungestål, CEO of Legora, joins Jacob Effron and Logan Bartlett to discuss the company's $550M Series D and share a candid account of what building an AI-native company at speed actually looks like from the inside. Max argues that the AI application layer requires a fundamentally different operating model than traditional SaaS, one built on low ego, constant reinvention, and a willingness to watch nine months of work get washed away by a model update. He walks through how step-function improvements in the underlying models, particularly Opus 4.5 and 4.6, have repeatedly forced Legora to rebuild core product features from scratch, and why he sees that as a feature, not a bug. On the legal industry, Max offers a ground-level view of how AI is actually diffusing through law firms, less through top-down mandates and more through competitive pressure between firms and, increasingly, from enterprise clients demanding efficiency from their outside counsel. He pushes back on the viability of AI-native law firms, dismisses outcome-based pricing as harder than it looks, and makes the case for why foundation model competition creates tailwinds rather than threats for a company with Legora's depth. The episode closes with a detailed look at the US expansion strategy, including the deliberate cultural decisions, like flying all New York hires to Stockholm for onboarding, that Max believes are the real source of Legora's compounding advantage.   [0:00] Intro [1:16] Legora's Series D Story [3:24] Why You Need Low Ego to Build in AI [5:58] From 60% to 100% Accuracy in One Summer [7:04] Law Firm Economics Shift [14:09] Pricing Seats Vs Outcomes [18:31] Why Foundation Models Entering Legal Helps Legora [30:10] Convincing a 75-Year-Old Partner to Go All In [33:02] Hiring Legal Engineers [34:32] Running an AI-Native Company [35:57] The Opus 4.5 Christmas Breakthrough [40:02] Building With Customers [44:01] All In On US Expansion [51:22] Stockholm Startup DNA   With your co-hosts:  @jacobeffron  - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health  @patrickachase  - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn  @ericabrescia  - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare)  @jordan_segall  - Partner at Redpoint

He works just two days a week in seclusion from his private resort on the sub-tropical Sunshine Coast of Australia. Key Points: Sales Led to Marketing Insight After 20 years in sales, the speaker realized selling is much easier when prospects are already interested or qualified. The Sales Spectrum Prospects fall between two ends: ·        Convincing: uninterested prospects you must persuade ·        Confirming: highly qualified prospects ready to buy Good marketing moves prospects closer to the confirming side. Demonstrations Increase Engagement Offering a demo or webinar works better than simply describing a product because people enjoy watching and learning. Use Other People's Networks (OPM) Partner with people who already have audiences, email lists, or communities that match your ideal customers. Choose Partners with Aligned Interests Both demographics and interests (psychographics) need to match for partnerships to work. Craft stronger marketing messages Effective messages include: ·        Benefits ·        Differentiation ·        Specific details  Build Relationships First Before proposing partnerships, establish rapport and reciprocity (e.g., promote their content or interview them). Bottom Line: Sales become easier when you focus on qualified prospects, strong messaging, and leveraging other people's audiences.    Guest Links:  tom@leadsology.guru +61404885553 www.GetTomsFreeBook.com www.FiveHourChallenge.com    About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus, and revenue generation experts.

Send a textIn this episode, Kay Suthar sits down with Ian Moyse to unpack why sales is not what most people think it is. As Chief Revenue Officer at ONEUP Sales, Ian challenges the traditional view of high-pressure selling, non-stop cold calling, and obsessing over numbers. Instead, he explains why sales is not about convincing anyone of anything. It is about listening, understanding, and delivering value. Ian shares why many sales teams get stuck focusing on metrics rather than meaningful conversations, what needs to change in modern sales environments, and why active listening is one of the most powerful skills a salesperson can develop. If you have ever thought sales felt pushy or uncomfortable, this episode will shift your perspective completely.What to expect in this episode: (00:00) – Why sales is not rocket science (03:40) – The problem with non-stop calling in sales teams (07:15) – Why people obsess over numbers in sales (11:20) – Why sales is not about convincing (15:10) – The power of active listening in sales (19:30) – The type of interaction customers do not want (23:45) – Delivering value and exceeding customer expectationsAbout Ian MoyseIan Moyse is Chief Revenue Officer at ONEUP Sales.

Welcome back to ScaleUp Radio Shorts, where Kevin Brent and Louise Blunt distil the best insights from our recent full-length interviews and turn them into practical, actionable takeaways for ambitious business owners. This week, we're bringing together two very different voices with a surprisingly aligned message: Jack Molyneux – former Merchant Navy Master Mariner turned tech founder, building a disruptive superyacht platform, IDOSY. Lindsey Burden – Intuitive Business Coach with over a decade of experience helping founders stop overcomplicating and start executing. Different industries. Different journeys. The same core lesson: scaling successfully comes down to clarity, courage and focused execution.     1. Simplicity Scales. Complexity Distracts. Jack built IDOSY around a clear mission: fix a broken, opaque system in the superyacht charter industry. His entire platform centres on three things: Live price. Live availability. Live booking. In an industry dominated by phone calls, PDFs and delayed email chains, that simplicity is the disruption. Lindsey shared the flip side. In her early days, she described herself as the "Queen of Overcomplication". Busy work felt productive. Complexity created the illusion of progress. But when business owners panic, they often abandon the plan and chase shiny objects. A new platform. A new offer. A new strategy. Instead of staying focused on the destination, they start reprogramming the sat-nav mid-journey. The lesson? Simplicity creates traction. Complexity creates noise.     2. The Right Team Will Challenge You Jack made a powerful point about leadership: as a founder, you must have someone around you who is prepared to say no. Founders are persuasive. Vision-driven. Convincing. But without challenge, conviction can turn into blind spots. Having led crews of over 100 people as a Master Mariner, Jack understands operational discipline. In a scaling business, strong teams aren't just compliant. They question. They test. They refine. Lindsey sees this transition from another angle. When you move from solopreneur to employer, you quickly realise: No one will care quite as much as you. You cannot hire only "doers". You need a mix of reliable executors and people who think, lead and innovate. Scaling requires a shift in identity. From being the person with all the answers… To being the person who sets the intent and trusts others to execute.     3. The 90-Day Sweet Spot One of the strongest overlaps between both conversations was execution rhythm. Lindsey is a huge advocate of 90-day planning. She calls it the sweet spot: Long enough to deliver meaningful results Short enough to stay focused and accountable Without that rhythm, founders get trapped in what she calls the "octopus business" – tentacles everywhere, constant activity, little progress. Jack demonstrated this mindset in action when raising capital. Instead of being overwhelmed by the enormity of fundraising, he broke it down step by step. His advice? Start with friends and family. If you cannot convince the people who know and trust you, persuading strangers will be even harder. It builds confidence, momentum and belief. And when the rejections come, as they always do, remember: Every "no" is one step closer to the next "yes".     4. Pricing, Confidence and Backing Yourself Lindsey delivered some tough but essential advice on pricing. When things get quiet, the temptation is to drop your prices or accept the wrong-fit clients for quick cash. But that decision shapes your future pipeline. Do premium work at bargain prices and you attract more bargain buyers. She challenges founders to stop pricing by the hour. Clients do not pay for time. They pay for outcomes. They care about getting from A to B, not how many hours it takes. Her practical tip for selling high-ticket services: "Nail your pricing, say it with confidence, and then don't say another word." Confidence is built through repetition. Through experience. Through backing yourself. Which mirrors Jack's advice to his younger self: Back yourself. Be brave. It's okay if people don't like it. He also challenged the idea of overprotecting your concept. You do not have a business until you build it. Talking about your idea creates momentum. Silence does not.     The One Key Thing The one key thing this week: Focus on execution over emotion. Keep it simple, commit to a 90-day rhythm, price with confidence, and back yourself even when it feels uncomfortable.     Standout Message "You can have 100% of nothing, or you can start talking to people and see what happens."     Quick Heads-Up: Smart90 Lite We're currently looking for a handful of founders to test our new AI-powered Smart90 app. It's built to help you stay accountable and actually deliver on your goals in just a few minutes a day. It's free while we're in testing, and your feedback will directly shape the final version. If you would like early access, take a look at smart90.co.uk      

FC Cincinnati open the 2026 season with two convincing wins, starting with a dominant 4–0 road victory over O&M FC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, their third straight year in the competition, behind goals from Tom Barlow, Kévin Denkey, and a brace from Ayoub Jabbari. FCC then returned home to a sold-out TQL Stadium to defeat Atlanta United on MLS Matchday 1, extending their unbeaten run in home openers under Pat Noonan with late goals from Denkey and Nick Hagglund, though the night was shaped by Evander's early exit with hamstring tightness. We break down the performances, tactical takeaways, and key stats, discuss the outlook on Evander's status, and preview what's next with the Champions Cup return leg at TQL and an upcoming MLS trip to face Minnesota United FC.

Paul urges believers to imitate God by forgiving one another and walking in love, just as Christ loved us. Because we are new creation people shaped by the resurrection, holiness is not behavior management but identity expression. Gratitude replaces corruption in our speech, showing that transformation reaches the heart. When a community lives this way together, its shared life becomes a visible testimony of the gospel.

Last week, we hosted a series of three webinars focused on different aspects of nonalcoholic brewing. In this episode of the podcast, we share an excerpt from the first session—focused on formulation—featuring Notch founder Chris Lohring, Halfway Crooks cofounder Shawn Cooper, and Abstrax Hops technical sales manager Craig Thomas. Through the course of the conversation, the trio discuss malt choices and process for NA beers, hop usage and different formats, dialing in bitterness, building body without sweetness, adjusting chloride content for fullness, and much more. If this piques your interest, the full webinars are available for viewing on our website: Formulation Fermentation Finishing G&D Chillers A quick word for the brewers out there staring down a broken chiller.

Positron AI is a 2+ year old silicon company targeting decode-heavy AI inference workloads where memory bandwidth, not compute, is the bottleneck. Launching end of 2025/early 2026, their architecture delivers 2TB of on-chip memory capacity versus Nvidia Rubin's 0.4TB—enabling 3-5x better performance per dollar and per watt for reasoning models, code generation, and video generation. In this episode, Mitesh Agrawal shares how Positron identified the memory bandwidth gap in a market where Nvidia controls 90%+ share, why they're prioritizing anchor customer commitments over product completion, and the hard lessons from Lambda Labs about rapid iteration and customer-driven optionality. Topics Discussed: Positron's technical approach: focusing on memory bandwidth and capacity over compute for inference workloads Why decode-heavy applications (reasoning models, video generation, code generation) are becoming memory-bound The challenge of selling silicon to hyperscalers when Nvidia controls 90%+ of the market Building optionality into product strategy: air cooling vs. liquid cooling as unexpected GTM advantage Learning to sell hardware before the product ships and why anchor customers matter Lambda Labs experience: lessons on rapid iteration and thoughtful hiring during hypergrowth Maintaining engineering-centricity: 47 of 50 employees focused on product development GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Find technical bottlenecks in high-growth markets: Positron identified that memory bandwidth wasn't scaling as fast as compute, creating a bottleneck for inference workloads. While Nvidia dominates with 90%+ market share, they optimize for training revenue. B2B founders should analyze where dominant players are constrained by their own economics or existing roadmaps, then build specifically for those underserved segments. Markets default to oligopoly, not monopoly: Mitesh observed that customers actively seek alternatives even when one vendor is superior. "Markets want oligopoly structure to exist," he explained. B2B founders shouldn't be discouraged by dominant incumbents—customers want optionality for leverage, supply chain resilience, and risk management. Position yourself as the credible alternative in specific use cases. Discover optionality through customer conversations: Positron initially pitched performance per watt without realizing air cooling capability was a major advantage. Only after selling their first product did they learn customers valued deploying in existing data centers without infrastructure overhauls. B2B founders should systematically debrief early customers to uncover which features solve problems you didn't anticipate. Sell before shipping in hardware: The biggest priority between now and product launch is securing anchor customers willing to commit purchase orders. "If you have someone to build for, the fillip it gives the engineering team, the confidence it gives operations and supply chain vendors—we underwrite that," Mitesh emphasized. Pre-sales derisk production, prove demand, and create momentum. B2B hardware founders should treat early customer commitments as product validation, not just revenue. Build storytelling into technical sales: Convincing customers to buy unshipped hardware requires months of narrative work. "It becomes like, if I sell it to you, why will it be useful to you? Is it going to save cost? Attract new customers? Drive growth?" Success means co-creating the internal business case your champion will present. B2B founders should invest heavily in helping customers articulate ROI and strategic value before asking for commitments. Maintain rapid iteration cadence: Nvidia ships every 12-15 months versus the industry standard of 3-4 years. "If you tell me that in 10 years you've launched 10-12 products in silicon, I will give much more probability we will be successful," Mitesh stated. B2B founders should structure operations and product development for continuous iteration rather than big-bang releases, even in traditionally slow-moving industries. Delay non-engineering hires until product proves itself: With 47 of 50 people in engineering, Positron has consciously prioritized product over go-to-market. "It was a very conscious decision," Mitesh emphasized. For deep-tech companies, this focus ensures you can actually deliver before scaling sales. B2B founders should resist pressure to build balanced teams early—let roles emerge from real needs rather than theoretical org charts.     Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Selling feels hard when you think your job is to convince people. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner sits down with Myron Golden, sales expert, business coach, and stage speaker known for helping entrepreneurs produce multi million dollar results, to talk about why persuasion and convincing are not the same thing. Myron shares how he went 18 months without making a single sale before learning how identity, belief systems, and service change everything in the sales process. They talk about why objections are usually created before they are ever spoken, how to become findable to buyers who already want what you offer, the four types of buyers that determine your income ceiling, and why money becomes the byproduct once mastery becomes the focus. If you want selling to feel natural instead of forced, this conversation will change the way you see it.Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (00:48) Myron's Entry Into Sales And Early Struggles(03:02) Why Network Marketing Fails To Teach Selling(07:56) Mindset + Skillset + Toolset Framework(12:10) Transitioning Into Selling From Stage(19:00) The $1.2M In One Hour Client Story(21:06) The Four Types Of Buyers Explained(30:03) Preventing Objections Before They Form(36:27) Becoming Findable To Ready BuyersGot a question about sales, persuasion, or objection handling?

Have you ever felt like building your business required you to do things you don't believe in or become someone you're not? What if the real issue isn't your strategy, but the fact that your brand isn't fully aligned with who you are? In this episode of The Business of You, Rachel sits down with Christine Williams to unpack why alignment is the foundation of sustainable success and how to make personal branding the effortless routine it should be, not the soul-selling chore it's devolved into. Christine Williams is a seven-figure entrepreneur, bestselling author, and Forbes Coaches Council member who mentors women coaches and holistic entrepreneurs to grow businesses rooted in clarity, values, and identity-led leadership. She's built and scaled multiple businesses from scratch while raising a family of five — and her work challenges nearly every outdated rule about marketing and sales. In this episode, Christine breaks down how to build a brand without sacrificing yourself, why marketing should feel relational instead of transactional, and how her six-step Soulful Abundance System creates growth you can feel good about. Identity First, Strategy Second Christine believes the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is jumping straight to tactics without defining and articulating their identity. Before funnels, offers, or visibility, she starts with the inner game — getting your mindset, confidence, and energy into alignment. When entrepreneurs believe in their value and trust their process, execution becomes easier and results follow faster. Without that foundation, even the best strategy falls flat. Alignment isn't a mindset buzzword — it's the multiplier behind every business decision. She explains why sustainable growth comes from choosing how you want to show up each day instead of reacting to the market, trends, or external pressure. Soulful Sales, Not Pushy Marketing Christine reframes sales as a service-driven process built on attraction, nurture, and invitation — not persuasion. Rather than dragging strangers into offers, she teaches entrepreneurs to create pathways that allow relationships to form naturally. Her "front porch" analogy paints a powerful picture: your job isn't to chase people down, but to create a welcoming space where the right clients feel safe, seen, and ready to step forward. By the time someone is invited to work with you, they're already pre-qualified — which removes pressure, resistance, and burnout from the sales process altogether. Enjoy this episode with Christine Williams… Soundbytes 05:49 - 06:44 "The things they did teach me while I was going through coaching school was, 'OK, this is how you get a client. You're just going to book a whole bunch of discovery sessions and sell them your package.' So it was basically trying to take a stranger into a buyer, which never felt good to me. It always felt like I was offering a free coaching session, but really the intention was, I'm trying to make a sale. It felt really out of alignment for me. I would sit and cross my fingers and hope, 'Maybe they won't show up for the call.' I just did not like to try to overcome somebody's objections. It felt like I had to be so convincing. I had to convince them. I had to persuade them. I had to drag them across the finish line to get them to say, 'Yes.' And I just decided that I wasn't going to do that anymore. So I stopped. I decided to figure out a different way, which was based on building relationships." 29:45 - 30:21 "Our inner game is like the foundation. It's the foundation of all the steps I'm talking about. Even though I start with it as step 1, it gets interwoven through everything, because if we're not feeling confident in showing up and being in front of people to create visibility, then that's going to be a block. If we're not reaching out to somebody who just joined our Facebook group, that's going to be a block. If we don't have a positive mindset and we're worried about bothering somebody or annoying somebody so that we never make invitations, that's going to be a block. So the inner game, I really think it's 80% of our work." Quotes "Personal brand isn't a performance — it's the foundation." "There is no convincing or persuading when alignment is present." "When selling becomes service, pressure disappears." "You don't scale by doing more — you scale by becoming more aligned."

2-9-26 Seahawks hoist the Lombardi with a convincing 29-13 win over the Patriots

TAKE A SEAT AT THE TABLE, we need to unpack why you're no longer going to settle for "not that bad" when it comes to your food noise and binge eating!

In this episode, I'm inviting you behind the scenes for a real, unfiltered sneak peek into a live coaching call inside The Revenue Accelerator. No polish, no edits—just me meeting my clients where they are and naming the patterns I see show up again and again for smart, seasoned women when it comes to selling, launching, and leading with clarity. I break down why webinars, masterclasses, and trainings aren't meant to convince or overteach, but to help your audience make a clean, safe decision—and how trying to prove your depth often creates resistance instead of conversion. I also share why simplicity doesn't mean shallow, why intrigue opens the door but clarity closes the gap, and how your brilliance actually lands more powerfully when the structure underneath it is clean and grounded. This episode isn't about more tactics—it's about unlearning outdated models, trusting yourself at a higher level, and learning how to lead people to a clear yes without force, pressure, or over-explaining. If you've ever felt like your nuance makes things harder instead of easier, this conversation will help everything click. Liked this episode?

So I have to lower resistance, I have to reframe fear, and I have to make sure that the path that I am showing them is available to them, feels safer than staying where they are.” - Julie Solomon  “ If you notice yourself second guessing , or adding more, or wanting to explain more, that's not a flaw. It's so common. But it's also a signal that you're having to unlearn an old model to step into a more precise one. And that's exactly the work that we're doing here.”  - Julie Solomon RESOURCES:

We are going to focus on the ‘flaw' that society is telling you needs to be fixed right now. What are you specifically feeling self conscious about? And can you recognize it as a distraction?

I ran across the bloated carcass of Jack Smith. Apparently he got ran over and left to rot in a hot Arizona desert. The House took apart his "prosecution" against Trump. We learned why Smith is a failure. Funny that people listed his credentials, and at the top of the list is Harvard grad. That used to mean something. It was like the Nobel Prize, a Pulitzer, or an Emmy. Now all those awards are meaningless.Smith couldn't prosecute a parking ticket without turning it into a conspiracy thriller starring himself as the shadowy villain. This guy's guilty as a fox in a henhouse after hours, scrambling to bury his tracks deeper than a mole with a grudge. His big brainwave? Convincing the world that Trump couldn't possibly believe his own beliefs about the election—yeah, because nothing says 'ironclad case' like policing someone's inner monologue. "Trump can't think what he thinks," Smith basically argued, as if he moonlights as a telepathic hall monitor. But reality hit him like a freight train full of subpoenas gone wrong; the whole charade crumbled faster than a sandcastle at high tide. Democrats, bless their partisan hearts, flung themselves into the fray like lemmings with law degrees, defending this hack with the fervor of someone explaining why pineapple belongs on pizza. It's a masterclass in how far they'll stretch the truth to keep their narratives afloat, all while ignoring the glaring voids in evidence that could sink a battleship. And Smith? He wasn't just grasping at straws; he was weaving them into a noose for his own credibility.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Meet Dr. Seth Lucas, a successful orthodontist who—after seven years of practice—hit the same wall so many of us do: “Is this all there is?” Rather than open a second practice or partner with pedo, Seth took a wildly different path: he bought into a cookie franchise. Not just any cookie—Crumbl. And now? He co-owns 9 locations in multiple states and has built a second business that brings in serious revenue without burning him out.In this episode, Seth shares how he launched his first Crumbl store across the country, convinced a friend to move to Wisconsin (yes, really), and built a thriving enterprise—while still loving ortho. We dig into why the seven-year itch is so common among orthodontists, what makes Crumbl such a powerful brand, and how you can start thinking differently about your next chapter—whether it's inside or outside the clinic.Quotes“I love ortho—just not five days a week. There's a sweet spot, and I had to find it.”— Dr. Seth Lucas“That first cookie store took more energy than all the rest combined. But once the flywheel started turning—it didn't stop.”— Dr. Seth LucasKey TakeawaysIntro (00:00)Growing up working farms and pizza shops (01:45)From de novo ortho startup to the 7-year itch (04:06)Why OSOs appeal to docs hitting a “what's next?” moment (05:30)Loving ortho… but only a few days a week (07:26)Culture is fragile: how Seth manages his 10-person team solo (09:28)The Crumbl cookie obsession begins (14:00)Convincing his friend to move across the country to open store #1 (17:20)From 1 store to 9: building, acquiring, scaling (18:27)Franchise advice: the reality vs. fantasy (19:19)Why Crumbl works—and how it compares to starting an ortho practice (21:13)Can one store be profitable? (22:05)High-volume vs. low-volume Crumbls (23:15)Startup capital: what it took (25:44)Final advice for docs thinking about a second business (28:00)Additional ResourcesI've seen so many orthodontists hit that “Is this it?” moment 7–10 years into practice. The truth is, you can love ortho—and still want something more. Seth's story is proof that your next act doesn't have to be more clinics, more chairs, or more chaos.

Carole O'Neill's guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Shelley Blanton-Stroud, author of the book An Unlikely Prospect. Shelley grew up in California's Central Valley, the daughter of Dust Bowl immigrants who made good on their ambition to get out of the field. Recently retired from teaching writing at Sacramento State University, she serves as President of the Board of 916 Ink, an arts-based creative writing nonprofit for children, and serves on the Board of Advisors for the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies at Claremont McKenna College. She also interviews mystery and thriller authors for the Mystery Review Crew. Shelley is the author of the critically acclaimed Jane Benjamin Mystery series, which includes Copy Boy, Tomboy, and Poster Girl. Her writing has been a finalist in the Sarton Book Awards, IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards, Killer Nashville's Silver Falchion Award, the American Fiction Awards, and the National Indie Excellence Awards. She and her husband live in Sacramento, surrounded by photos of their out-of-town sons, their wonderful partners, very first grandchild, and a lifetime of beloved dogs.   In her book review, Carole O'Neill stated: An Unlikely Prospect is historical fiction by Shelley Blanton-Stroud. I immediately found myself routing for Sandy Zimmer who inherits the job of publisher of the Prospect newspaper when she becomes a widow at the age of thirty-two. As San Francisco erupts in celebration, the VJ Peace Riot results in eleven deaths and six rapes throughout the city.   While everyone around her celebrates, Sandy is forced to take over her husband's former duties and win the support of her controlling father-in-law. She guides her newspaper to cover the riot by printing the truth of the assaults on the victims. However, her father-in-law tries to use his position on the board to bury the scandal in order to attract the United Nations Headquarters to San Francisco.   She knows she must navigate between the needed reporting and the required votes on her board to keep her job and save the Prospect. Convincing the other newspaper publishers in the city to divide the issues and report the truth results in her finding her voice in the male dominated world of 1945 journalism.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Shelley Blanton-Stroud Website: https://shelleyblantonstroud.com/ FB: @blantonstroudauthor IG: @blantonstroud   Purchase An Unlikely Prospect on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/48IkFku Ebook: https://amzn.to/4pWLb0D   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

A Bhagavad-gītā-level reality check: the world we experience isn't "illusion" in the lazy, dismissive sense—it's illusion like a reflection. Consistent. Coherent. Convincing. And still untouchable. Like an upside-down tree mirrored in water, it looks real enough to reach for… but you can't taste its fruit. A reflected rose has no aroma. And a reflected life, no matter how intensely we chase it, can't deliver the ananda we're actually built for. But the reflection does point to a reality worth pursuing. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

In his late 20s, Jorge Pliego found himself financing a major expansion in Mexico—not by calling corporate for cash, but by rethinking the entire structure. At Procter & Gamble, he was given the chance to fund a new paper products facility locally, navigating tax and financing incentives until the deal carried “zero” interest cost, Pliego tells us. Convincing senior leaders in Mexico and at headquarters required clarity, confidence, and an understanding of the business beyond finance alone.That moment reflects a career shaped by early responsibility and proximity to decision-makers. From ERP implementation work—where he adapted U.S. costing systems to Mexico's 100% inflation environment—to treasury leadership, Pliego learned how finance decisions land inside real operating constraints, he tells us. Those lessons were tested again when he left P&G for Sara Lee, joining as the second employee in Mexico. Suddenly, he was learning how to import product, choose systems, hire teams, and manage risk without the safety net of a mature organization.At Diageo, that operational grounding met strategy. As CFO of Mexico, Pliego helped lead a six-month effort to craft a plan to triple the business in three years, he tells us. Finance worked alongside marketing, sales, and operations to define investments, risks, and measurements, while leaders focused on inspiring people and course-correcting quickly.Today, as CFO of Improving, Pliego carries those lessons into a faster, private-equity-backed environment. Speed matters, but discipline matters more. He's shortened the close, sharpened data visibility, and applies the same lens to AI—calling it “a very hungry monster” that only delivers value when fed consistent, high-quality data, Pliego tells us.

Attached are some photos of my Grandpa Julio “Papi” who's alive still and my deceased Grandma Martha in Cuba during better times as young love birds. Fidel Castro stole everything but their love and their lives. Same with my other grandparents Rafael and Ophelia and my Mom. They lost everything but their love and their lives. Now there's hope of a free Cuba for our long lost family there and hope of making past wrongs right once again. I'm with President Trump all the way. Cuba should be a rich, island paradise and it can be as a US territory. It's a strategic asset for our safety too as a base of operations to defend our homeland in the mainland US. There's no downside to toppling the communists who've only stayed in power by killing and jailing Cubans for decades. Now is the time. It can also serve as a helpful spot to run any US/Venezuela operations that benefits America instead of a narco pass through entity used by our enemies as a constant threat to American safety. Russia, China, Venezuela and many others have used Cuba to threaten us for long enough. It's time we take control and empower the Cuban people. No American blood needs to be spilled. This can be a massive win for the future of both Cuba and more importantly, for America. It's time for the evil of communism to die. https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007882386529542519?s=20 https://twitter.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2008187454595969240?s=20   rials monthly ($7). https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007930486438682861?s=20 https://twitter.com/RyanSaavedra/status/2007978922458444265?s=20   longer had it.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! Mugshot Emerges of Deranged Man Accused in Vance Home Attack, VP Blasts Media for Publishing Home Images Authorities have released the mugshot of 26-year-old William DeFoor following his arrest for allegedly attempting to break into Vice President JD Vance’s Cincinnati home with a hammer.   The booking photo, posted by the Hamilton County Justice Center, also lists the charges DeFoor is facing, including vandalism, criminal trespass, criminal damaging or endangering, and obstructing official business. Cincinnati police and Secret Service agents responded swiftly to reports of the vandalism, arriving at the scene to detain the man without further incident. No one was injured, as Vance and his family had already left for Washington, D.C. at that time. https://twitter.com/JDVance/status/2008188525162721647?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2008188525162721647%7Ctwgr%5Ec29f78485445e314b120eda36408e134f4f5245a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Frusty-weiss%2F2026%2F01%2F05%2Fmugshot-emerges-of-deranged-man-accused-in-vance-home-attack-vp-blasts-media-for-publishing-home-images-n2197767   already to DC.

And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice. Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly's seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file. Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days. Captain Kelly's status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action. These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay. https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/2008201370458075286?s=20  energy, and corporatism, all are reliant on the narcos for dark funding.

President Trump shut down a fake news reporter who was trying to create a wedge between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.   A legacy media reporter tried to stir up a little trouble and President Trump promptly shut her down. “What you say that Marco Rubio has your ear more than the Vice President right now?” a reporter asked President Trump. Trump shut it down. “No! They both do. JD is very smart and doing a great job and so is Marco! I would say they're equal,” Trump said. The reporter continued, “It sounds like [Rubio] is the go to and you were just talking about Cuba and what could come next there.” AUDIO: Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2008092328867869069?s=20  a plea of some sort.

This is apparently the overture of what is to come – The Secret Dominion/Huawei Data Center in Belgrade, Serbia – that emphatically and officially did not exist – DID exist and was disabled by U.S. gov employees just days prior to the 2024 election. It has now been dismantled, which may disappoint former CIA Director John Brennan, who reportedly financed half of it from the CIA ‘Black Budget.’ The other half of the funding was from our dear friends in China. That’s right, the theft of The US Presidency and multiple other elections worldwide was co-financed by our own CIA – Top Venezuelan engineers who reportedly designed and executed multiple foreign based election frauds in America using Dominion and Smartmatic systems are in America under U.S. gov protection and have provided sworn testimony. They include an engineer who personally helped illegally install Joe Biden as President in 2020 – These engineers are also joined by General Hugo Carvjal, former Head of Venezuelan Intelligence, now in jail in New York (his cellmate is Diddy Combs) and he is cooperating with Fed authorities (see below) – Another Venezuelan General has now also joined General Carvjal in providing 1st person testimony – Official state and court adduced evidence of 2020 election fraud has been compiled for every one of the battleground states. Cowardice and corruption within the American judiciary has scuttled any real progress – Georgia corruption came into better focus last month as Fulton County admitted not following the law concerning over 300K ‘votes’ and then their most corrupt state judge agreed to unseal the 2020 ‘warehouse ballots,’ many of which are officially sworn to be likely counterfeit. What a sad crooked bunch – The DOJ is suing multiple states to require compliance with Federal election laws including HAVA – Georgia is among them – and @AAGDhillon is leading the charge – President Trump pardoned Tina Peters but corrupt Colorado officials refuse to release her from prison. Colorado wants to litigate her role as a Federal officer in their elections while her health declines due to their horrible conditions. Colorado officials are going to pay dearly – An American Armada, the likes of which hasn’t been assembled in this century, sits off the coast of U.S. Election Theft Central. They are resting up after the historic strike extraction of Maduro. They will not idle long. The President promises to clean out all the cartel del Soles thugs and return Venezuela to democratic self governance. A big job but essential to keeping America safe and its enemies out of our hemisphere and out of our elections.  https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007981628648206368?s=20   which gave hope to the low-morale Continental Army and boosted enlistment, and eventually led to victory. I think Trump and the US MIL were sending a message. Now is when we start winning the war against the Deep State. I think we have graduated into a new phase of the operation. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007924998703366560?s=20   necessary for what comes later, when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and sends US MIL to cities nationwide. If the US MIL are going to conduct mass arrests, the public will need to trust them and trust Trump. So for those asking why Trump is arresting Maduro before arresting treasonous actors in the US, I think there is method to the madness. The high-profile US arrests will likely be towards the end, after more of the public are fully bought in on the operation to dismantle the Deep State. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing billions of people that high-profile individuals, including former heads of state, need to be arrested… that's the tricky part. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2008033626294792665?s=20 https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/2007933111729021305?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

You bought the color-coded planner. You reorganized your entire content folder. You told yourself that once things calm down after the holidays, everything will click into place. But here's what nobody wants to admit: most people don't actually want change—they want relief. And we're constantly confusing the two, especially in January. In this episode we dive into:• Why your January goals are likely designed for relief, not actual change• The critical difference between reducing tension and restructuring your reality• How to identify when you're avoiding the one thing that needs your attention most• The questions that expose whether you're truly changing or just getting comfortableWhen Relief Becomes Your Default• Reorganizing your planner instead of making the uncomfortable decision you've been avoiding• Saving endless content and telling yourself you'll implement it later while never actually posting• Waiting to "feel ready" so you don't have to risk doing something imperfectly• Convincing yourself that lowering your standards is just being realistic about your current seasonWhy January's Promise Always Disappoints• The myth that life will slow down once the holidays end and routines reset• That meme about being an adult: saying "hopefully things will calm down after this week" for 372 consecutive Tuesdays• The truth nobody wants to hear: if you're a high-achieving person, the feeling of needing to catch up never goes away• How holiday slowdowns make you comfortable with lower effort, then January's timeline creates instant overwhelmWhat Change Actually Requires• Identifying that "I need to rest" or "I'm not motivated" is often code for unclear priorities and avoided boundaries• Committing to something basic and repeatable instead of the 7,500 recipes you saved with 17-part ingredient lists• Making adjustments as you go rather than pausing and promising you'll restart later• Accepting that clarity comes after commitment, not before it—and 90 days is your minimum timelineThis conversation reminds us that relief pulls you away from the problem while change redesigns the situation to get you where you want to go. Whether you're convincing yourself that now isn't the right time to have that difficult conversation or telling yourself you'll track your food "starting tomorrow" for the fifth time this week, this episode offers the honest framework to stop choosing comfort over actual progress.Looking for more on goal-setting that actually works?
