Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss what they hope will soon be the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas, a major economic policy blunder by the Democrat running for governor in Virginia, and a surprising dead heat in the 2026 New York governor's race.First, they welcome reports that Hamas has agreed to release the living hostages and the remains of the rest as part of Phase 1 of President Trump's Middle East plan. Inez cautions against celebrating until the hostages are actually home but credits Trump for getting Hamas sympathizers in Qatar and Turkey to pressure Hamas into accepting the deal.Next, they highlight Virginia Democratic gubernational nominee Abigail Spanberger openly supporting a 2020 law passed and signed by Democrats that mandates all energy in Virginia must be renewable by 2050. There are two problems with that. There's no indication that will be feasible. And if it is, energy costs will skyrocket by thousands of dollars per year for the average customer. Inez argues that Spanberger is another Democrat falsely branded as a moderate despite her progressive record.Finally, they break down new polling that shows New York Gov. Kathy Hochul locked in a statistical tie with her likely GOP challenger, Rep. Elise Stefanik. Hochul's endorsement of Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City does not appear to be resonating well throughout the state. Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.coCelebrate World Mental Health Day by starting your journey with BetterHelp—get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML

For most entrepreneurs, consuming alcohol is a normalized social ritual. From networking, entertaining clients, and celebrating successes to relaxing with our friends and family. But as you'll hear from today's guest, alcohol is really just “attractively packaged poison” for our bodies. Even one or two drinks a night can slowly erode productivity, focus, and decision-making, costing millions of dollars over an entrepreneur's lifetime.James Swanwick knows this firsthand. A former ESPN SportsCenter anchor, James walked away from alcohol in 2010 and saw instant improvements that transformed his life, health, and career trajectory.Today, he's the founder of Project 90, a neuroscience-based coaching program with a 98% success rate in helping executives, entrepreneurs, and investors reduce or eliminate drinking in just 90 days. He's also the author of Clear, a practical guide to quitting alcohol without AA, rehab, or willpower.In this episode, you'll hear the shocking financial and personal costs of drinking—even in moderation—and why going alcohol-free gives high performers and entrepreneurs an ‘unfair' competitive advantage. James also shares the science behind alcohol's impact on the brain and body, and how eliminating or significantly reducing alcohol from your life can multiply your clarity, relationships, and wealth.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) Why having just one drink a day can quietly destroy your health, relationships, and wealth.2.) The neuroscience-backed framework with a staggering 98% success rate that James uses in Project 90 to help entrepreneurs and executives eliminate alcohol and unlock peak performance.3.) What James calls the “Lost Revenue Calculator” to demonstrate how much an entrepreneur who generates millions in revenue each year could benefit from an alcohol-free lifestyle.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/259Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Tammy brings the hard hitting truth: Chaos might feel like momentum, but it's really just motion without meaning. In this fast-paced episode, she dives into the high cost of allowing stress, drama, and avoidant behaviors to run your workplace. Through personal anecdotes (like the story of "Frank"), Tammy explains why unsustainability is the ultimate price of chaos—affecting everything from turnover rates and sick leave to team productivity. This is a crucial lesson on self-regulation, clarity, and building a workplace where order restores energy and trust. 4 Costs of Chaos Chaos is Expensive: Chaos lacks sustainability. Leaders who use fear or high-pressure tactics get short-term results, but overall productivity drops, leading to increased turnover, higher sick leave, and loss of revenue. Unregulated Leaders Create Unregulated Teams: You cannot lead people out of stress while you are drowning in it. An unregulated leader models expected chaotic behavior, causing the team to become dysregulated, driving them to spend time job-searching instead of working. Communication in Chaos Becomes Cannibalistic: Fear-fed communication eats results for breakfast. When defensiveness (a form of fear-filled communication) becomes the norm, team members focus on self-preservation, eating away at collaboration, trust, and transformation. Regulation is Not Rigidity: Order restores energy, focus, and trust in your team. Regulation is about your "count-on-ability"—what your team can rely on from your reactions and responses. It's the opposite of being stuck; it's the foundation for agility. Actionable Tools & Quotes The Problem with Volatility and Vacancy: Both yelling and retreating are equally damaging. Vacancy (silence/shutting down) tells people they can't trust you, while volatility pushes them away. Leaders must find the regulated middle ground. The Key to Performance: "Healthy, actionable steps driving performance is a winning plan every single day." Your Self-Check: Ask your team: "What is your count-on-ability factor?" Look at your sick leave and turnover rates—these are chaos-driven numbers. Final Quote: "Fear-fed communication eats results for breakfast." Call to Action: Don't drive Q4 momentum with chaos. Drive it with curiosity and clarity. I unapologetically ask bold questions and challenge assumptions to help leaders rethink what they thought was true! DM me the word CHAOS on Instagram @TheTammyBond to get a resource that will help you ask the right questions to solve for the chaos and finish the year strong.

Elizabeth Peek discusses the growing demands that massive data centers place on local resources, including electricity, water, and workforce. She anticipates a public backlash, particularly due to rising electricity costs and the reliance on renewable mandates in uncompetitive markets like California and New York. Water scarcity issues are also a significant concern, comparable to the public reaction to fracking. Peek notes that elected representatives must address how these massive buildings impact the national conversation regarding resource allocation and pricing. 1910 VALDEZ

I've been circling this topic for years in my personal life, and today I'm finally ready to name it out loud: what it means to center men—and the quiet, persistent ways it costs us. This isn't a takedown of men. It's a conversation about the water we swim in, how it shapes our choices, and why so many of us end up orbiting someone else's needs while abandoning our own. In this first of a two-part series, I briefly unpack the language and the lived reality—androcentrism, “woman as Other,” the male gaze, compulsory heterosexuality, and self-silencing—and connect those ideas to everyday moments in dating, marriage, work, family roles, and even how we present ourselves. I also go deeper into patriarchal bargains,something I see over and over in my own life, the lives of my clients, and most (if not all) of the women I know. I weave in my own story and experiences from clients and friends so you can spot the pattern with compassion, not self-blame. This is what you'll hear in this episode: A clear metaphor for “centering men” (the sun and orbit) and how it shows up in real life. Plain-language definitions of key terms (androcentrism, male gaze, “woman as Other,” patriarchal bargains, comphet, self-silencing). Why patriarchal bargains often feel like safety—and why the price tag grows over time. Everyday examples across dating, long-term partnership, work, family labor, and appearance. The emotional, relational, and cultural costs: confusion of identity, chronic anxiety, resentment, power imbalances, and internalized policing. How health can be impacted when self-silencing becomes a lifestyle (and why this deserves reverence, not shame). A gentle invitation to notice where you might be orbiting—and what questions to journal on before we move into solutions. Part one names the pattern and its costs so you can see it with clarity and care in your own life: centering men isn't a personal failing—it's a survival strategy many of us learned. Awareness is the first move.  In part two (in two weeks), we'll focus on solutions: how to decenter without burning your life down, rebuild self-trust and voice, and practice relational autonomy in dating, work, and partnership.  Resources from this episode: Get updates on my new book Live Like You Give a Damn (out December 9!)

Conflict is one of the most paradoxical things I've encountered—in my own life and in the lives of my clients. For those of us who have been shaped by good girl conditioning, conflict most often feels like danger and disconnection. But when it happens within a container of safety and self-connection, it becomes a doorway to vulnerability, intimacy, and power. In this episode, I explore why we avoid conflict and share personal stories that demonstrate the freedom you can find when you say what needs to be said. Here's what I cover:How the emotional burden of unspoken words lives in the bodyHow cultural and gender conditioning teach people socialized as women to stay silentTwo real-life examples of how I apply what I teach about conflict and communicationWhy self-love and compassion are essential for knowing when and how to speak upHow practicing the skills to have hard conversations leads to freedom and connectionFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

Enterprises are significantly increasing their investments in AI governance as the risks associated with artificial intelligence become more apparent. A recent report indicates that 98% of organizations plan to boost their governance budgets in the coming financial year, with an average expected increase of 24%. This shift highlights the realization that managing AI is not a plug-and-play solution; organizations must establish multiple lines of defense to handle risks effectively. As AI technologies evolve, refining governance will be an ongoing process, especially as companies face incidents that could lead to substantial financial losses.Public cloud spending is projected to increase dramatically, primarily driven by generative AI workloads. A survey reveals that nearly half of IT leaders expect more than 30% of their cloud budgets to be allocated to generative AI in the coming years. This rapid adoption of generative AI applications necessitates improved cloud cost management strategies, as enterprises brace for higher infrastructure costs. Analysts warn that the financial models supporting this AI boom, particularly for companies like Oracle, which may need to borrow significantly to meet obligations, raise concerns about sustainability.Despite fears of job losses due to AI, a study from Yale University indicates that generative AI has not yet significantly disrupted the job market. The research shows only a slight change in the occupational mix since the launch of ChatGPT, with hiring in the tech sector remaining steady. A significant portion of tech employers plan to hire, particularly for roles related to AI, indicating that the demand for skills like Python and project management is driving this trend. The study suggests that while generative AI has transformative potential, it is too early to assess its long-term effects on employment.In a notable industry development, Huntress has partnered with SureWeb to expand its cybersecurity solutions, marking its first distribution deal. This collaboration allows Huntress's products to be available in the SureWeb marketplace, enhancing security offerings for managed service providers across various regions. The partnership emphasizes the importance of relationships over transactions, contrasting with larger marketplaces.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Pragya steps in to speak with Edwin Endlich (CMO at Wysh; President, National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion) about the collision of AI, GLP-1 weight-loss costs, and personal finance. Edwin explains why money conversations work better when they start with your story—then shows how AI can act like an “Iron Man suit” for everyday choices: helping you budget for expensive treatments, spot wasteful subscriptions, and decode terms & conditions. We also dig into transparency, scams, and consent in fintech, and how humor can open serious topics like life insurance. Direct, practical, and human—this episode reframes finance so listeners can act with clarity, not confusion.   About the guest  : Edwin Endlich is the Chief Marketing Officer at Wysh and President of the National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion. He blends storytelling, product design, and fintech to make financial protection and planning understandable and accessible.   Key takeaways: GLP-1 realities: Prescription GLP-1 drugs can cost around four figures monthly; planning must consider the full journey cost (medication, appointments, lifestyle shifts). Finance is personal: Conversations land when framed as “what you want to happen,” not product jargon—e.g., protecting a home or kids' education. AI as an assistant: Use AI to build budgets, compare prices, reduce subscription bloat, and personalize meal and movement plans during a health journey. Transparency first: Replace legalese with plain-English choices; surface true total costs and decision points up front. Terms & conditions 2.0: Future AI can summarize long T&Cs against your values, flagging risks before you click “I agree.” Skepticism is healthy: Scams are sophisticated; verify senders, avoid gift-card traps, and double-check “urgent” requests—even if they sound like family. Humor works: Light, respectful humor can unlock tough topics like mortality and life insurance without trivializing them. Design for consent: Financial products should make it obvious what you're opting into, with no hidden steps or dark patterns.   How to connect with the guest   LinkedIn: Edwin Endlich Company: Wysh Organization: National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

With mounting repair costs that could top $100 million, Dallas' City Hall is at the center of what likely will be a public and emotional conversation about whether to salvage the brutalist building or tear it down. City Hall's problems go beyond faulty wiring and a leaky parking garage. In other news, a Southlake woman accused of trafficking women to a New York City financier's “sex dungeon” worked as a substitute teacher for Carroll ISD. In a page-long statement Tuesday, Carroll ISD school board president Cam Bryan acknowledged that 45-year-old Jennifer Powers worked at the district but did not say how long. Bryan went on to say that “the individual in question is no longer employed by Carroll ISD, has been fully removed from all roles, and no longer has any access to our campuses or facilities.” Also, the stadium arms race in North Texas has cooled drastically. Why? And, for the second time in two years, Dallas has delayed its plan to end alleyway trash and recycling pickup for thousands of households after strong resident opposition. City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert announced Wednesday that the phaseout, originally set for January, is now on hold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The IPO market may be slowing down, but the discipline of operating like a public company has never been more important. In this episode, CJ is joined by Chad Gold, CFO of FullStory and veteran operator with previous stints at G2, SalesLoft, and Rubicon, to discuss how capital markets and financing strategies are shifting in real time. Chad explains why more companies are staying private longer, how the rise of private credit is changing the CFO toolkit, and why building IPO-ready discipline matters even if you never go public. The conversation also dives into one of his specialties—pricing models and sales incentives—covering how seat-based, usage, and blended structures influence rep behavior, comp plans, and long-term revenue quality, as well as how the wrong incentives can quietly derail a business. Finally, Chad reflects on lessons from his early career at Home Depot and how fundamentals from retail operations still inform his instincts in SaaS today.—LINKS: Chad Gold on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadgold/Fullstory: https://www.fullstory.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222 Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:G2 CFO Chad Gold on Building A Durable Career as a Venture Backed Exec:Big Systems Thinking for Building a Finance Org: Advice From a Zoom Hypergrowth Survivor:—TIMESTAMPS:(02:14) Sponsors – Mercury | RightRev | Tipalti(06:10) What's New at FullStory(09:22) Hypotheses, Data, and Unlocking Use Cases(10:13) Early CFO Career and the Evolution of Data(11:09) From Deterministic Models to Analytics-Driven Forecasting(12:17) Cohorts, Segmentation, and Revenue Quality(13:17) Why Companies Stay Private Longer(15:28) Sponsors – Aleph | Rillet | Fidelity P.S.(19:01) Capital Flows Into Hot Sectors Like AI and Cybersecurity(20:20) More Companies Going Private Than Public(21:41) Costs and Tradeoffs of Being Public(22:46) Secondary Markets and Access to Top Companies(24:14) Staying Private Longer and CFO Planning(25:29) Keeping the Org Exit-Ready(26:10) The Rise of Private Credit(27:37) Banks vs. Venture Debt After SVB(30:47) Pricing Models Across Chad's CFO Roles(35:47) How to Incentivize Sales Reps Across Pricing Models(43:26) Lessons From Home Depot + Lightning Round—SPONSORS:Mercury is business banking built for builders, giving founders and finance pros a financial stack that actually works together.

Max talks with Bret Koebbe, Vice President of Sporty's Pilot Shop, about how Starlink internet access is entering general aviation cockpits and what that means for pilots today and in the future. For decades, cockpit connectivity was mostly reserved for the airlines. Systems like Gogo provided limited bandwidth, required expensive antennas, and were impractical for piston aircraft. GA pilots relied on ADS-B weather, portable receivers, or Iridium text messaging to stay connected. That landscape has shifted with the Starlink Mini, a portable satellite dish small enough to fit in a 182 or Cirrus, delivering broadband internet in flight.   Benefits for Pilots Bret outlines the legitimate safety advantages. Pilots can text family or FBOs, update arrival times, and share real-time position updates. More importantly, Starlink could enable widespread filing of PIREPs directly from an iPad, improving weather data for all. Weather cameras, now integrated into ForeFlight, could become accessible in flight, offering pilots actual visual conditions instead of relying solely on METARs or AWOS reports. Risks and Distractions But Starlink also poses serious distraction risks. Bret shares a personal story: during a family trip, he streamed an NFL game mid-flight, only to realize within seconds how dangerously it diverted his attention. He immediately shut it off, but the experience was a powerful reminder of how alluring the technology is. Max underscores that the NTSB lists distractions as a top factor in loss-of-control accidents, and Starlink could easily become an “attractive nuisance” in cockpits. Cost and Service Plans Starlink Mini hardware is about $499, and the Local Priority plan runs $65/month for 50 GB, sufficient for most piston pilots. For corporate pilots and jets, the Global Priority plan at $250/month supports higher speeds and offshore operations. Bret explains the differences in speed limitations (350 mph for Local Priority vs 550 mph for Global Priority) and how to choose based on aircraft type and mission. Mounting and Power Solutions Because Starlink Mini lacks an internal battery, powering it is key. Bret recommends Sporty's Flight Gear Max Battery, capable of outputting 140 watts via USB-C, giving about three hours of Starlink runtime. For longer flights, higher-capacity solutions exist. Mounting options include suction cup mounts for rear windows (ideal in high-wing Cessnas and Cirrus aircraft) or side-window solutions in low-wing and corporate jets. Positioning is critical—blocking the dish with wings can cause dropouts. Practical Tips Bret offers pilot-tested tips: Create a custom iPad Focus Mode that blocks notifications except for critical texts when ForeFlight is open. Establish SOPs—use Starlink only in cruise and disconnect before descent. Enable Low Data Mode on devices to prevent iCloud or app background syncing from eating up gigabytes. Don't rely on Starlink radar or traffic feeds, which have even more latency than ADS-B. The Future of Connected Cockpits Looking ahead, Bret sees huge potential. Automatic turbulence reporting from onboard sensors could update in real time if aircraft have internet connections. Engine monitor data could be streamed to ground support for diagnostics, offering pilots in-flight decision support. Eventually, Starlink-enabled cockpits could complement FAA datalink systems like CPDLC, streamlining communication and safety services. Final Thoughts This milestone Episode 400 illustrates how cockpit technology continues to evolve rapidly. Affordable internet access brings new possibilities for safety, convenience, and passenger comfort, but it also requires disciplined use to prevent dangerous distractions. As Bret and Max agree, the future of aviation will be defined by how responsibly pilots integrate these new tools. Whether you fly a piston single, a turboprop, or a corporate jet, Starlink is likely to shape your cockpit experience in the coming years. This episode gives pilots the knowledge to make informed decisions as they consider adopting Starlink for their aircraft.

Think the American Dream is slipping out of reach? Think again. In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug tackle one of the biggest financial questions of our time: how much does it really cost to live the life you want — and is it still possible? Spoiler alert: it is, but it takes more than a paycheck and a Pinterest board. We break down fresh research from Investopedia, the rising price tag of everything from healthcare to college, and how smart planning (and a little basement wisdom) can keep your dreams from turning into financial nightmares. But this isn't just another numbers game. Along the way, the gang shares stories from the road — including Joe's brush with baseball's most entertaining team — and digs into the strategies that can help you fight inflation, outsmart rising costs, and make compounding interest your best friend. Plus, we tackle big listener questions, from how to choose the right financial advisor to the best ways to set young adults up for success in a tougher economic landscape. And because life isn't all spreadsheets and savings goals, we round things out with some binge-worthy TV and movie picks for when you're off the clock. It's part money masterclass, part basement hangout — and all about helping you take real steps toward your version of the American Dream. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the “American Dream” isn't dead — but why it may look different today. The real costs behind homeownership, healthcare, education, and retirement (and how to plan for them). Strategies for budgeting, saving early, and building systems that make your money work harder. How to vet a financial advisor and what red flags to watch out for. Smart ways to guide young adults toward financial independence. The power of compounding interest and how to use it to your advantage. Questions to Consider (and Discuss with Fellow Stackers) What does the “American Dream” mean to you — and has that definition changed over time? Which costs (housing, healthcare, college, etc.) feel most overwhelming right now, and how are you tackling them? What's one piece of financial advice you'd give to someone just starting their journey?
