We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and Canadian national team chat. The first part of the MLS season wound up this weekend with the last round of matches ahead of the World Cup break. The Whitecaps finished strong, dispatching San Diego 4-2 in a dominant performance that sees them go into their eight weeks off atop the Western Conference. We delve into the main talking points from that match and review the highs and lows of the season so far, both for the 'Caps and across MLS. Plus we chat with head coach Jesper Sorensen about what he's made of the season to date and whether he's looking to strengthen the side in the upcoming transfer window. One man back for the Whitecaps before the break was Ralph Priso and we bring you some audio from Ralph as we chat about his return from injury, his chances of making Canada's World Cup roster, and whether he allows himself to dream of being at the tournament this summer. Plus we select our 26-man Canadian roster ahead of Friday's official announcement. All of this plus we round-up the week's action across the CPL as Pacific FC part ways with their head coach, move onto the letter V in our Canadian Soccer A to Z series, music-wise, Mansun continue their residency as our Artists of the Month, and we've got yet another new Scotland World Cup song in Wavelength. They keep coming, we keep playing them!

Two women have told a BBC Panorama investigation they were raped during the filming of one of Channel 4's biggest shows, Married at First Sight UK, while a third has described an allegation of a non-consensual sex act. Channel 4 has now removed all episodes of the programme from its streaming and linear services and commissioned an external review of welfare on the show. The programme makers CPL have said its welfare system was ‘gold standard'. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC News' Lizo Mzimba and Helen Wood, Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Aston in Birmingham.Many women live with fibromyalgia for life - chronic pain, exhaustion, brain fog - with no clear cure. But some doctors say that for women with breast implants, the story may be different. Rheumatology Professor Jan Willem Cohen Tervaer from the University of Alberta explains why some patients improve after their implants are removed, and why he believes the condition of Breast Implant Illness deserves recognition from the medical community. Nuala is also joined by Professor Lynda Wyld, President Elect of the Association of Breast Surgeons in the UK to explain the position currently held by the medical profession in the UK. We discuss a new play that unfolds entirely in the ladies loos. April Hope Miller wrote and performs in ‘Flush', it was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and it's just opened at the Arcola Theatre in London. April and co-star Jazz Jenkins tell Nuala why the real drama on any night out is always to be found in the women's toilets. And why it took an ensemble cast of five, playing no less 16 different characters between them, to capture something universal about women's lives.School closures in England may be disproportionately affecting children with special educational needs and disabilities. File on Four Investigates has been looking into this in the run up to government reforms of the SEND system, and Nuala is joined by BBC education reporter and former primary school teacher Hayley Clarke.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat. It was another busy week in Whitecapsland, both on and off the pitch. We bring you the latest updates in the battle to #SaveTheCaps and keep them in Vancouver. A week of meetings and statements may not have produced any concrete solutions yet in terms of a new stadium and new owners of the club, but there are a lot of positive signs and we unpack what we can from it all. On the pitch, the 'Caps were busy with two games in Texas and while it was a mixed set of results with a win in Dallas and a loss in Houston, they head in to the last game before the World Cup break back on the top of the MLS Western Conference. We pick over the bones of both matches and the main talking points coming out of them.

Flick me a message!The cost of operating in Australian aviation — whether you're a student working toward your CPL, a private pilot trying to keep current, or an operator running a training fleet — has risen sharply over the past few years.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat after an emotional, draining, and anger-inducing week in Whitecapsland. The feelgood factor from just a week ago went quickly missing in Vancouver as news broke, and continued to break as the week wore on, that a group had put a bid in for the Whitecaps with the aim of moving the team to Las Vegas. It was a fast-moving news cycle with both a lot and a little said by both sides and very few glimmers of hope for the 'Caps faithful it felt at times. So how did we get here? What do we know, what do we not, what's next, and how you can help? We delve into all of that, the main bullet points from the week, and hear from Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. It may feel grim, but there is some light at the end of the long, dark tunnel. On the pitch, the Whitecaps dominated the LA Galaxy for much of their match on Saturday, but struggled to break down the home side's lines before recovering from a defensive mishap to salvage a vital road point. We pick over the main talking points coming out of that one and we round up the weekend action across MLS and the CPL. All of this plus we move onto the letter S in our Canadian Soccer A to Z series, music-wise, Mansun kick off their residency as our Artists of the Month, McCarthy are the latest band to feature in our 40th anniversary tribute year to the C86 movement, and we've got another new Scotland World Cup song in Wavelength.

On this episode of the Jered Williams Show, Jered and his cohost Eddie, dive into marketing strategies for their restarted plumbing business, stressing the need for more leads alongside better triage and booking to avoid shredding opportunities, while promoting Plumbline's 24/7 answering service. They break down KPI tracking via a custom Lovable app pulling from ServiceTitan—covering spend, CPL, booking/close rates, avg ticket, and ROAS—for top sources like PPC ($114 CPL, 2.48x ROAS), local magazines (high-ticket wins), Angie leads (cheap but needing automation), and Facebook (strong booking but testing lead gen). Insights highlight fixing capacity/upsells (e.g., $99 drain cleans to $1,200 whole-home via customer education on grease clogs) over blaming leads, seasonal demand levers, and proactive scaling with data; they decide to ramp PPC budgets, optimize Angie/FB tests, train techs on estimates, and invite listeners to their $99/month school group for tools and training.

Two dashboards. Two stories. One broken relationship. This week on Lunch Hour Legal Marketing, Conrad Saam and Gyi Tsakalakis unpack a client loss that wasn't really about performance; it was about measurement. The agency saw success. The law firm saw zero cases. And both were looking at completely different versions of reality. We break down a $11.5K paid search campaign that generated 64 leads at a $181 CPL with strong engagement metrics but still ended in termination. Why? Because the agency optimized for cost per lead, while the firm measured success by signed clients. No shared definition of a “good lead” meant no shared understanding of success. So what actually went wrong? And more importantly, how do you prevent it? We dig into: Why cost per lead is the wrong scoreboard for a firm measuring signed cases How “wanted leads” become the missing feedback loop in legal marketing The role of intake, attribution, and CRM gaps in distorting performance Why even strong campaigns fail when dashboards don't match reality How fractional CMOs can either bridge—or widen—the measurement divide At the center of it all is a simple problem: agencies and law firms are often not just disagreeing… they're not even reading the same watch. Lunch Hour Legal Marketing will be covering Vista Consulting Team's Baltimore event, A Seat at the Table. Conrad and Gyi will be at the PILMMA Super Summit in May.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat. It was an emotional night at BC Place on Saturday. The Whitecaps wrapped up their last home game for three months with another win, as hundreds took part in a prematch #SaveTheCaps march. We pick over the bones of the game and look ahead to the grueling eight-game away swing the 'Caps now face before they return back home in three months time and how Jesper Sorensen might approach these games in term of squad rotation. The latter is helped by the return of Ranko Veselinovic and we chat with the Serbian centre back after he play his first game in over nine months with WFC2. We talk a lot more about the #SaveTheCaps campaign in this week's show as well, as more concerning murmurs come out around a relocation of the team to Las Vegas, and Whitecaps Brian White and Tristan Blackmon share their perspective of what it's like being a player on the team with all of this chatter around. We have three interviews with you this week as well as we catch up with three young guns. Two Whitecaps, Nikola Djordjevic, who made his first team debut last week, and Liam Mackenzie, who is lighting it up with WFC2 after his return from injury.

Send us Fan MailMarketing vendors love acronyms because they sound precise, but they can also hide the only question that matters: did this effort create profitable revenue? Recording from an airport, I break down the alphabet soup in plain English so contractors can read marketing reports with confidence and push back when numbers do not connect to real jobs.We start with ROAS (return on ad spend) and why I prefer looking at it across your full marketing mix, not as isolated channel “wins.” Then we dig into KPIs that actually move the needle in HVAC marketing, plumbing marketing, and home service growth: CPL (cost per lead), conversion rate, calls booked, and revenue generated. I also talk about the operational side of performance, because a weak booking rate at the CSR desk can make any marketing campaign look expensive.From there we hit the big platforms and levers: PPC (pay-per-click) as the fast but costly faucet, Google Business Profile optimization as a local game-changer, and LTV (customer lifetime value) as the mindset shift that turns retention and maintenance plans into your best “marketing.” We also cover CTR (click-through rate) benchmarks without comparing apples to oranges, plus SEO and why search engine optimization still matters even as AI starts changing how customers find help.If you want clearer attribution, better questions for your agency, and marketing metrics that tie back to booked calls and profit, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a contractor friend, and leave a review with the acronym you want me to translate next.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.Please consider following and drop a review below if you enjoyed this episode.

Javier Lozano Jr. didn't come up through brand or PR. He came through sales — and that lens has shaped everything about how he approaches growth marketing. Starting his first business in the teeth of the 2008 recession with a personal guarantee on a five-year lease, Javier learned early that you have to be strategic when the market won't forgive waste. That crucible turned him into one of the sharper go-to-market operators in B2B tech.In this episode, Javier walks through exactly how he scaled RapMate from roughly $1M to $20M ARR — not through guesswork or gut feel, but through a disciplined system of ICP targeting, messaging tested internally before it touched the market, channel diversification based on real signals, and a coordinated email engine that generated $1.5–2M annually on its own.If you're a SaaS founder trying to graduate from scrappy growth to a repeatable revenue machine, this episode is a masterclass in doing it the right way.Key Takeaways6:12 — Marketing through a sales lens Javier came into marketing through sales, not PR or brand. That background means everything he builds is oriented toward one outcome: influencing revenue.7:03 — Marketing must influence revenue It can't be all demand gen all day. There has to be a balance — and a direct line connecting marketing activity to revenue outcomes.7:52 — Enter old-school industries with a modern playbook In a facilities management company founded in 1976, Javier applied a B2C/SaaS marketing approach and stood out immediately — landing enterprise calls from Raytheon, Anheuser-Busch, and Dollar General.10:35 — Ask more questions, peel back more layers The real pain is never the first thing a prospect tells you. The more you ask, the deeper you go — and agitating the real pain point changes the entire sales conversation.12:44 — Don't try to boil the ocean When taking over as CMO, Javier's first move was to observe, not overhaul. Understand what's working before you touch the website, the messaging, or the budget.14:22 — Test messaging internally before going external Instead of redesigning the website, Javier reoriented messaging inside existing email communications first. Lower risk, faster feedback, and you learn whether the market resonates before making expensive public changes.15:34 — Only 15% of leads were in the ICP With 85% of leads outside their ICP, the team was burning money chasing the wrong people. The fix wasn't the message — it was the targeting.16:11 — Meta delivered higher-quality leads than Google Even though Meta represented only 10–20% of ad spend, it was producing higher connection rates and close rates. Finding that signal — and gradually shifting budget — moved ICP match rate from 15% to 65%+.19:01 — CAC dropped from $1,000 to $300 Better targeting and aligned metrics turned customer acquisition cost into a competitive weapon. At $300 CAC with a $2,250 average cart value, the math became predictable and scalable.23:39 — "If it ain't broke, why fix it" has a shelf life Channel concentration is a real risk. Milk what's working, but always be looking 6–12 months ahead at diversification — before an algorithm change or account shutdown forces the issue.27:10 — Signals don't have to be stats A VP calling your cell after two LinkedIn DMs is a signal. Three prospects in a row mentioning the same thing on sales calls is a signal. The sales team's frontline feedback is some of your most valuable go-to-market data.32:05 — The $1 per lead per month email goal Javier set a simple but disciplined baseline for email: generate $1 per lead per month. That framework forced the team to think about email as a revenue channel, not just a nurture activity.33:22 — Sales email from a real inbox: 40–50% open rates Emails sent from a salesperson's actual Gmail account opened at 40–50%. From a marketing email address, it was 15–20%. The channel doesn't change — the sender does.36:53 — Leads closed 12 months after entry — from a Halloween email Buyers are in different stages at different times. If you stop communicating, you disappear. The long game in email is just staying visible until they're ready.40:27 — The human experience is the last moat As AI slop floods inboxes and feeds, the people who create genuine human connection with their audience will stand out. That's not automate-able — and that's the point.41:57 — Build the system manually before you automate it AI exposes broken systems. If you don't have a clear step-by-step process built out internally, automation will just break things faster. Do it by hand first.44:36 — Find the one wedge and own it Founders go to market with too many use cases. Pick the one thing you can win in your sleep, get it so dialed in it's predictable, close that deal — then expand from there.Tweetable Quotes"Marketing needs to be influencing revenue in one way, shape, or form. It just can't be demand all day long." — Javier Lozano Jr."If you just ask more questions, you start unveiling more layers of the onion — and eventually they just tell you: you're the one I want." — Javier Lozano Jr."Don't try to boil the ocean. Go in and look at everything holistically before you change a single thing." — Javier Lozano Jr."I can't optimize a funnel based on feelings. Come to me with stats." — Javier Lozano Jr."Signals don't always have to be stats. A signal can be literally what the marketplace is telling you." — Javier Lozano Jr."The people who can create a true human experience with their audience are going to stand out over everybody else." — Javier Lozano Jr."Build the system first. Do it internally. Hate it until you don't like doing it anymore — then automate it." — Javier Lozano Jr."Find one wedge. Find one thing you can crush in your sleep — then go to market with that." — Javier Lozano Jr.SaaS Leadership Lessons1. Observe before you optimize. Javier's first move at every company is to audit, not overhaul. He doesn't change the website, the messaging, or the budget until he understands what's actually happening. Knee-jerk reactions from new CMOs — or founders trying to fix everything at once — destroy momentum. See the full picture first.2. CPL is a vanity metric. CAC is the business metric. Getting 300 leads at $2 each sounds better than 40 leads at $15 each — until you realize none of the cheap leads are closing. Javier reduced CAC from $1,000 to $300 not by chasing lower cost-per-lead, but by improving targeting quality. The math only works when you trace the full line from spend to closed revenue.3. Test messaging inside before you put it outside. Before touching the website, Javier retooled how the company communicated with existing leads in email. Lower risk, faster feedback loop, and real signal from a warm audience. Only after internal validation does it earn the right to go public.4. Channel diversification is a survival strategy, not a growth strategy. Concentration risk is real. If 90% of your pipeline comes from one channel and that channel turns on you, you don't have a business — you have a dependency. Javier's approach: milk the winning channel, document the learnings, then gradually replicate the model on a second channel 6–12 months later.5. Sales and marketing alignment requires a shared scoreboard. The marketing-sales tension is universal, but it's solvable. Javier's fix: define what a qualified lead looks like, track conversion rates at every stage, and make data — not feelings — the language of every internal conversation. When both teams are speaking the same statistical language, you stop fighting about whose fault it is and start building together.6. AI amplifies what you already have — good or bad. Automation doesn't fix a broken system; it just accelerates the breakage. Build the process manually first, iterate until it works, then automate the parts that are truly repeatable. The human elements — curiosity, genuine connection, nuanced judgment — are your competitive moat in an AI-saturated world. Protect them.Guest Resourcesjavier@boldermediasolutions.comhttps://boldermediasolutions.comhttps://www.facebook.com/javykixshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/javierlozanojr/https://www.instagram.com/javy_is_bold/Episode SponsorThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite -

Anthony Chiaravallo, founder and CEO of Vallo Media — a performance marketing agency that has placed over $100 million in paid media — joins Jeff Mains on SaaS Fuel for a candid, no-BS conversation about what actually works (and what doesn't) in B2B paid advertising.The conversation goes deep on performance media for SaaS: why cold lead gen ads are the fastest way to burn budget, how to build warm audiences before asking for a demo, and the massive cost savings that come from full-funnel thinking. Anthony exposes the hidden world of click fraud and bot traffic, explains how to set up clean data signals, and makes the case for why last-click attribution is quietly killing B2B ad performance. He closes with a pointed recommendation on where SaaS founders should — and should not — spend their limited marketing dollars.Key Takeaways3:44 — Anthony's Origin Story: From SVP to Founder Anthony's position was eliminated during COVID after five years building a paid media practice at a 4,000-person agency. He turned a side consulting hustle into Vallo Media, gave himself 6–12 months to match his corporate salary, and never looked back.5:50 — Founder Mindset: Replace Yourself First The biggest shift from agency leader to founder is understanding that your primary job as CEO is to replace yourself. Anthony systematically identified what he was spending the most time on and hired for it — starting with paid media execution so he could focus on sales and strategy.8:42 — How to Prioritize Your First Hires Start by asking: what am I spending the most time on that someone else could do better? Anthony's first hire was a paid search specialist — a person he found on LinkedIn, contracted for a project, and who has now been with him for six years running his entire paid media department.11:43 — What Makes B2B SaaS Performance Media Unique Running cold lead gen ads against a B2B SaaS audience is "a fast way to set cash on fire." One client was paying $8,000 per ebook download — from unqualified leads. The fix: build warm audiences through awareness and video campaigns first, then retarget. That same client dropped CPL from $8,000 to $115.16:49 — The Most Common Ad Waste Traps Brands celebrate cheap clicks without ever checking if those clicks are from real, qualified people. The most dangerous trap: reporting 1,000 clicks at $1 CPC while 90% of those users bounced in two seconds — bots or totally unqualified traffic.17:46 — Clean Data Signals & Behavioral Conversions Instead of only tracking form fills, set up behavioral conversions: time on site, page views, video engagement. These "quality signals" train the ad platform's AI to find more people like your best visitors — not just whoever clicks cheapest.20:40 — How Click Fraud Actually Works Bad actors spin up thousands of AI-generated fake websites, embed programmatic ad code, and deploy click bots to generate revenue from every ad served. Over half of annual digital ad spend is estimated to hit fake sites and bots.21:39 — How to Protect Your Ad Budget Set up behavioral conversion tracking in Google Tag Manager, link it to GA4, and monitor closely whether platform-reported clicks match actual engagement in your web analytics. Vallo Media manually excludes 50,000+ fraudulent domains per month in programmatic campaigns.26:56 — When a Flawed UX Tanks a Campaign Anthony walked a healthcare client through a campaign where 1,100 people clicked and zero downloaded the app — because the user flow required a QR code scan, app download, account setup, and SMS verification in sequence. He couldn't even complete it himself.30:39 — UX Is a Paid Media Problem Your landing page, checkout, and signup flow are part of your paid media strategy. A client ignored Anthony's landing page recommendations for eight months — performance suffered the entire time. Paid ads don't exist in a silo.36:18 — AI for Ad Creative: Useful Starting Point, Not a Replacement AI design tools can quickly improve creative direction (simplify text, modernize layouts, test variations) — but they need a human with marketing knowledge and taste to direct them and approve the output. "AI is only as good as the human giving it direction."39:32 — The Right Way to Test Ads Reserve 5–10% of monthly budget for digital experiments. Test one variable at a time. Run AB tests monthly. One surprise finding: ads showing a person looking at the product outperformed ads with the person making eye contact with the camera for driving direct sales.41:37 — Why Last-Click Attribution Is Killing B2B Ads Last-click attribution only credits the final touchpoint and ignores every podcast listen, social impression, and website visit that built purchase intent. In B2B SaaS, buying cycles can span a year — you need a mixed media model that assigns value across all touchpoints.46:31 — Where to Spend (and Not Spend) Your Budget Don't start with Google Ads — competition is high and lead quality is inconsistent without brand foundation. Instead: invest in data immersion first, then build brand through top/middle funnel awareness and engagement campaigns. Once you've built warm audiences, bring Google Ads online to capture the demand you've already generated.Tweetable Quotes"The worst thing a B2B SaaS company can do in performance media is run lead gen ads against a cold audience." — Anthony Chiaravallo"Paid media doesn't exist in a silo. It's part of your overall marketing mix — and there's an effective way to do it." — Anthony Chiaravallo"You can't just turn on a paid ad and expect the leads to flow. Especially in B2B, you're skipping five steps." — Anthony Chiaravallo"Over half of annual digital ad spend is going to fake websites, fake bots, and hackers collecting a payday on every click." — Anthony Chiaravallo"AI is only as good as the human giving it direction. It doesn't have taste, context, or discernment." — Anthony Chiaravallo"Build demand before you try to capture it. Your whole job becomes easier when it comes to conversion." — Anthony Chiaravallo"If your user experience is not totally frictionless, your campaigns are not going to be successful." — Anthony Chiaravallo"You eat what you kill as a founder. It was much more rewarding — you see your business grow, your team grow." — Anthony ChiaravalloSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Replace Yourself Systematically, Starting on Day One Anthony's first move as a founder was identifying what he was doing that someone else could do better. He hired a paid search specialist immediately, freeing himself for sales and strategy. The lesson: your job as CEO is to continuously remove yourself from execution and move toward empowerment.2. Sales Is Never Someone Else's Responsibility No matter how strong your sales team gets, as a founder you never fully hand off sales. Anthony kept business development as his north star from day one — because as he puts it, founders "eat what they kill." Staying close to the sale means staying close to the customer.3. Hire People Smarter Than You in Their Lane Don't try to be an expert in everything. Find people who are better than you at the specific skill you need, give them the resources and autonomy to outperform you, and focus your energy on orchestration and vision.4. Strategy Before Spend — Always 90% of success in paid media comes from setup: campaign structure, tracking, data signals, and understanding the customer journey. Before spending a dollar on ads, conduct a data immersion, audit your analytics, and map what your best customers' buying journey actually looked like.5. Full-Funnel Thinking Beats Tactical Execution SaaS founders who jump straight to lead gen ads skip the awareness and engagement layers that warm audiences and reduce acquisition costs. Brands that invest in the top and middle of the funnel — video, content, thought leadership — have dramatically lower cost-per-pipeline when they eventually run conversion campaigns.6. Measure What the Platform Won't Tell You Ad platforms report the metrics that make them look good. Real performance intelligence lives in your web analytics: time on site, page views, branded search volume, brand recall lift. Close the loop by sending quality signals back to the algorithm, and insist on UTM hygiene and proper GA4 setup before running a single dollar in spend.Guest Resourcesanthony@vallomedia.comhttps://www.vallomedia.com/https://www.facebook.com/vallomedia/https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonychiaravallo/https://www.linkedin.com/company/vallomediahttps://www.instagram.com/vallomedia/Episode SponsorThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group –

In this episode, we sit down with Matthew St Pierre. A retired Marine Gunner who has been around the block. He has been through the fire and brought the lessons out of the other side. Featured in the book "On Combat" by Dave Grossman (Episode 40), as he gathered his teams and squads for a debrief after the gunfights. He is/was a leader of men. In this episode, we talk about Medal of Honor recipient Cpl. Jason Dunham and his heroics. St. Pierre also talks in depth about the loss of Major Gannon on the Syrian border. A place that I later fell in on, by that time, rightfully named Camp Gannon. There is a wealth of information in this episode, and I hope you enjoy it.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, CONCACAF Champions Cup, and general football chat. It was a another two-game week for the Whitecaps, with two victories in two different competitions and two clean sheets to boot. The 'Caps dispatched a tough test in Costa Rican side Cartagines on Wednesday night in Champions Cup action to set up a Cascadian clash with Seattle in the next round. They followed that up with a Canadian derby win against Toronto on Saturday. We pick over the bones of both matches and the main talking points coming out of them. Plus we round up this week's action around MLS West and look at how the battle to be the Canadian number one goalkeeper is playing out down in Florida between Max Crepeau and Dayne St Clair after their derby. It was a good week in Whitecapsland all round, with two key pieces signing contract extensions and some new corporate deals announced. We chat with one of those key pieces, MLS Defender of the Year Tristan Blackmon, about last year's heroics, his very eventful and headline-making offseason, his new deal, what the club and city mean to him, and the season to come. We also chat with a player starting out his Whitecaps journey, homegrown defender Mihail Gherasimencov, about joining the first team, his time in the CPL with Cavalry, playing internationally for Moldova, and his footballing journey so far. All of this plus we move onto the letter J in our Canadian Soccer A to Z series and music-wise, Scottish band Bis begin their residency as our Artists of the Month, The Pastels are the latest band to feature in our 40th anniversary tribute year to the C86 movement, and Football Violence Awareness Month begins again in Wavelength.

This comes to us as a listener request from Yung Cazzy! Great choice! On the eve of D-Day, several paratrooper survivors assemble and set forward to take down a radio tower that's jamming up their airwaves. Led by Cpl. Ford (Wyatt Russell) and driven by PFC Boyce (Jovan Adepo), they team up with a local, Chloe (Mathilde Ollivier), to sneak around the village and take down a bunch of scum sucking Nazis. Along the way, they capture Captain Wafner (Pilou Asbæk) and learn of horrific secret experiments being conducted. RTS likes sticking to the original plan of blowing up the tower from the outside. They are also digging on these fresh baguettes. Jeremy injects everyone with mysterious serums and asks questions later. Later, as in he is on a bus going far, far away. Collin quickly realizes that he'll have to explode everyone. He does! They have all been exploded! Get him a baguette! Thank you, again, for suggesting this fun, dark and adventurous tale. 

You can scale your business fast with the right digital marketing partners and strategy.Partner with our Meta ads experts: https://www.tiereleven.com/apply Are you still betting your entire growth plan on Google? If you're treating search like the “engine,” you might be building demand everywhere else and giving it zero credit.In this case study, I break down four years of work inside one of the most brutally competitive niches we serve. Personal injury law. We took a Michigan firm from messy tracking and misaligned leads to a machine that consistently optimized for the only metric that matters: signed cases. Early on, we drove a 70% drop in cost per signed case to about $1,518 and still achieved roughly a 20x ROI. I'll walk you through the Meta and Google synergy, the tracking stack that made optimization possible, and the “signed case maximizer” framework we use to scale without drowning in junk leads.

Send us a textGrowth doesn't come from stacking more sheds on the lot; it comes from choosing the right model and building systems that make it work. We sat down to map how a shed business can hit a true 20% lift by aligning strategy with execution, from boutique marketing builds to smart, segmented lead funnels that guide buyers from curiosity to contract. Along the way, we break down why vertical, short‑form video wins on Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, and show how interest‑based algorithms reward clear hooks, tight loops, and real proof.We compare paths that both work: a display‑first, digital‑heavy approach using configurators, live video consultations, and fast scheduling versus a true super-lot model with deep selection and rapid delivery. The takeaway isn't either/or; it's fit and focus. Independent dealers can diversify with logical add‑ons to cover lot costs without muddying the brand, while manufacturers can back dealers with better creative, smarter funnels, and clean attribution. If you're wrestling with the dealer network question or wondering how much inventory you really need, you'll find practical ways to reduce risk and increase throughput.AI has a real role here. We share where it shines today—copy iterations, data analysis, and workflow automation—and where to keep a human hand on the wheel. Weekly consulting sprints on funnel design, monthly oversight, and a trusted partner bench help you launch systems that work on day one. Expect concrete moves: segment by use case, embed social proof, route leads intelligently, and track CPC, CPL, and CPA in one place.
