Mick Donaghy: How he built $1.4M from $7K (after his partnership collapsed) Mick Donaghy's mother died when he was in his twenties.Life's too short became his operating system.He left Ireland. Moved to New Zealand. Became a top-billing recruiter! A few years later, he got his shot at ownership. A partnership to launch an Australian business for the agency he worked. For many reasons, this partnership didn't work, so Mick paid back his business partner and walked away with $7,000 in his bank account.No business. No plan B.This time, he was doing it alone.GEDON was born - named after his Mum.Ultra-niche: quantity surveying and cost management. One discipline. Total focus.12 months later: $1.4M AUD in billings.65 placements. One person every three days.But here's what makes Mick different.He's not building an empire.- he's building freedom!Currently has 9 people, 5 offshore making 40%+ profit margins.Last week, he won 3 new clients from his personal brand. Zero cold calls.He just bought a 100-year-old house in Belfast. Cash.He drives an old Toyota Corolla, does 30 minutes in the sauna daily and is two and a half years into rebuilding his relationship with alcohol.He's now set a new and incredible target: 20-hour work week. $300-400K profit annually.This week on The RAG Podcast, Mick tells the full story.We cover:The partnership in Australia that COVID nearly destroyedHow he started Gedon with $7K and built it to $1.4M in year oneWhy ultra-niche made his business borderlessThe personal brand strategy that replaced cold callingWhy he refuses to scale headcountHis sobriety journey and the 20-hour work week planThis isn't about scaling fast.It's about a man who lost his mom young, tried a partnership that collapsed, and rebuilt everything from $7,000 into a million-dollar business that gives him his life back.No investor decks. No growth-at-all-costs.Just freedom over headcount.If you've ever wondered whether there's another way to build a business—one that doesn't trap you -this episode has the blueprint.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time.

244: In this episode, I sat down in person with Alex Reese from Acrewell, a rising star in the land investing world and an absolute YouTube powerhouse.

He also drops a ton of wisdom on soil issues, due diligence, price-per-acre myths, seller psychology, and how YouTube changed the game for him.If you're into land investing, building a brand, or just want to hear some crazy land deal stories, you'll get a ton from this one!

This week on the Art Problems podcast interview series “Inside Netvvrk”, I'm talking with Ann Marie Auricchio, an abstract painter who creates work at the intersection of psychological and physical experiences. Ann Marie shares what it's like to restart your art career after 25 years in another profession. She talks about why having all your materials ready isn't enough if you don't know how to use them, and how a shoulder injury became the perfect time to invest in herself. We get into how she went from feeling stuck and isolated in New Orleans to landing her first museum solo show and working with multiple galleries. She also explains how writing exhibition proposals with other Netvvrk members led to actual acceptances—and taught her when to turn down opportunities that don't financially make sense. We also talk about researching institutions by looking at other artists' CVs and why community matters even when people can be annoying. If you're restarting your career or feeling isolated in your practice, this conversation will help. It shows what's possible when you get your assets in order and find your people.

Cavities are still one of America's most common diseases – despite decades of fluoride use. Xlear is calling on the FDA to recognize xylitol as an active anticaries ingredient so dental professionals and patients can finally access this powerful tool. Xylitol, a safe and natural compound, has been proven to stop cavity- causing bacteria and dramatically reduce tooth decay.The American Dental Hygienist Association (ADHA) in conjunction with Xlear, a leader in hygiene products, filed a citizen petition with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) urging the FDA to formally recognize xylitol as an approved Over-the-Counter (OTC) active ingredient in dental hygiene products, including toothpaste, rinses, gels, mouthwashes, gums, and lozenges.Xylitol addresses the root cause of tooth decay. In contrast, fluoride strengthens tooth enamel. Fluoride has almost no effect on the bacteria that causes tooth decay. Studies have shown that xylitol has a higher “protection factor” in fighting cavities than fluoride.“Dental decay is the single most common communicable, chronic disease inflicting Americans today. Moreover, dental decay is also closely associated with driving other serious health risks - ranging from heart disease to diabetes,” said Trisha O'Hehir, MS, RDH.Key Facts:·         Nearly 90% of U.S. adults have experienced tooth decay.·         Studies show xylitol can reduce cavities by up to 80%.·         Xylitol works by neutralizing acid-producing bacteria and protecting enamel at the source.·         Xylitol is safe if swallowed, a key benefit for children.·         Widely used internationally, xylitol is already found in gum and oral hygiene products. The petition requests that FDA: Amend 21 C.F.R. Part 355 to list xylitol as an approved anti-caries active ingredient. Alternatively, issue a new OTC monograph under Section 505G of the FDCA.Learn more about the Petition hereXlear is one of the nation's leaders in effective xylitol hygiene products, available inpharmacies, big box stores, natural retailers and online.XLEAR's Retailers: Walgreens, CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Target, Kroger, Sprouts, Natural Grocers and most natural products retailers nationwide.XLEAR's Online Retailers: Amazon, iHerb, Lucky Vitamin, and Vitacost.comLearn more at Xlear.com or SprySmile.com 

Josh Weiner left Meta to return to CVS Health with two painful realizations: consumers don't manage their health—they expect it, and the healthcare market fundamentally violates every principle of economics. In this conversation with a16z's Julie Yoo, the CVS Senior VP explains why 50% of Americans can't afford a healthcare emergency, how CVS is becoming a platform to solve structural healthcare problems, and why the future depends on consumers finally controlling their own health data. Timecodes: 0:00  The Healthcare Market Isn't Functioning 2:30  Consumers Don't Manage Health, They Just Expect It 3:39  Why Consumer Playbooks Die in Healthcare5:41  Motion vs Progress: The Innovation Illusion8:46  Platform Philosophy: "It Takes a Village"11:38  The Vaccine Paradox Under One Roof19:37  The 40% Hidden Reality: Healthcare Is Caregiving21:04  The Deductible Comprehension Crisis22:10  "This Does Have an Expiration Date"24:40  The Health Passport Future Resources:Find Josh on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshweiner2/Follow Julie on X: https://x.com/julesyoo Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the Raising Health Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4fjb8YTzHDuPBgDXc3ElkRListen to the Raising Health Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raising-health/id1529318900Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Most business owners hit a ceiling not because they lack hustle but because their systems leak money. They underprice, overpay, and unknowingly trap themselves in the “hourly labor” mindset that kills profitability. Have you ever felt like your team works hard, but your margins never seem to improve? Do you wonder why, after another big month of sales, there's still not enough left over for growth—or you?  In this episode, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with James Kwon, serial entrepreneur, early employee at CVS.com, and founder of Figmints Digital Creative Marketing. After selling one of his companies for nearly nine figures, James could have coasted. Instead, he built a revolutionary model called SLICES—a simple, scalable way to transform your compensation structure into a proper pay-for-performance system. Whether you lead a trades business, a digital agency, or a growing team, James breaks down the math, the mindset, and the mechanics of paying your people like owners. Timestamps: [00:00] The Problem with Hourly Pay [03:50] Why “SLICES” Was Born [06:40] Pricing for Pay-for-Performance [09:20] The $10K Job Breakdown [14:00] Paying Contractors vs. Salaried Teams [21:45] Overcoming Team Resistance [26:30] Real Results from the Field [39:00] From Chaos to Clarity in Commercial Cleaning [44:30] Rethinking Ownership: ESOPs and the Future of SLICES [52:40] Building Brand Leverage through Figmints  Key Quotes: “You should treat every employee like a salesperson.” “Your slices already exist—you're just not tracking them.” “Profit isn't what's left over; it's a pre-decided slice of the pie.” “A players light up when they see opportunity. C players panic.” “Slices make utilization visible. There's nowhere to hide.” “The goal isn't to be rich—it's to build royalty.” “Loving people is the ultimate game in business.”    Key Takeaways: Define Every Slice: Categorize every dollar earned—marketing, labor, operations, profit—and track against those ratios. Pay for Output, Not Time: Transition compensation to performance-based models that reward production, not presence. Reconcile Quarterly: Measure slices earned versus salary paid; adjust based on utilization and profitability. Build a Culture of Ownership: Teach your team how their work connects to the bottom line. Transparency breeds accountability.  Mentioned Links: Figmints Digital Creative Marketing: https://www.figmints.com SLICES Resources for Better Than Rich Listeners: https://www.figmints.com/betterthanrich The Better Than Rich Show YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thebetterthanrich

Jordan Shlosberg: Why agency recruiters will win (and internal TA won't)Jordan Shlosberg runs Atlas CRM—the fastest-growing, AI-native recruitment platform in the world.Thousands of recruiters use his technology every day. Real-time data. Real billings. Real problems being solved.If anyone knows what's actually working with AI in recruitment, it's him."Internal talent teams have a lot to worry about. Agency recruiters? There's a renaissance coming."Here's why:Agency recruiters have years of candidate conversations. Reference calls. Market knowledge built through relationships. The ability to cut through 1,500 AI-generated applications with actual insight.Internal TA has a resume. Sometimes a screening call. That's it.But here's the problem: agency recruitment only represents 7-8% of all hires in Europe.We could grow our share massively. Or we could shrink into irrelevance.The difference? How quickly we become AI-literate.This week on The RAG Podcast, Jordan and I go deep on what's actually happening in recruitment AI.We cover:Why Atlas crossed $1M ARR in 10 months while the market contractedHow clients are growing from 4 to 15 seats in under a yearThe fatal flaw in "agentic job boards" like Jack & JillWhy sourcing platforms only show you 50% of LinkedIn's dataThe partnership we're launching to make recruiters top 5% AI usersThis isn't another "AI is coming for your job" panic post.This is strategic intelligence from someone watching what actually works across thousands of recruiters every day.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time.

My guest this week is Andrew Hulbert, founder of Pareto FM, who started his business from his bedroom at 27 with no name, network, or funding and grew it to a £42 million turnover before exiting less than a decade later.Andrew's story is one of calculated risk, relentless focus, and smart scaling. From landing his first £200,000 contract with the Bulgari Hotel to winning major clients like Twitter, ASOS, and Deliveroo, his approach to business growth was simple: do what big companies get wrong, and do it exceptionally well.In this episode, we discuss the realities of starting from zero, why being “too small” can become your biggest advantage, and how creating sweet equity helped him retain every senior hire across nine years. Andrew also shares what life looks like post-exit. Family, friends, and purpose and what it truly takes to let go without losing identity.If you're at the stage where you're thinking of starting, scaling, or selling, this conversation will help you think more strategically about risk, people, and purpose.Key Takeaways:Start with One Win: Focus on getting your first deal, not the perfect business plan. Momentum starts with movement.People Are Everything: Hire for motivation, not CVs. Pareto's 17 senior leaders stayed through to exit because they shared the vision and had skin in the game.Be Willing to Bet on Growth: Andrew's decision to reinvest £1 million into overheads helped double the company's value in two years.Know When to Step Back: The biggest challenge isn't starting, it's letting go. Learning to trust others is what takes a founder from operator to leader.Redefine Success After Exit: Freedom doesn't come from a payout, it comes from presence—being there for family, friends, and yourself.

Over some Japanese whisky, we sit down with Gabe Navarro to talk about the family legacy behind the Navarro Pharmacy chain, a true Miami institution. Gabe shares what it was like growing up in the business, from sweeping floors and stocking shelves to ultimately helping lead the company through its major exit to CVS.We get into how he and his siblings transformed Navarro from a neighborhood pharmacy brand into a real estate powerhouse, investing in shopping centers across Florida, developing multifamily projects, and even purchasing a ski resort in Idaho.Gabe's story is one of family, vision, and generational success, and he's as genuine and humble as they come.Connect with usWant to dive deeper into Miami's commercial real estate scene?

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today's focus is on a series of significant advancements that are poised to reshape the landscape of drug development, regulatory standards, and patient care.Eli Lilly has made remarkable strides with its dual-action obesity medications, Zepbound and Mounjaro. Despite being removed from the CVS formulary, these drugs have achieved exceptional sales figures, reaching $10 billion in a single quarter. This success can be attributed to Lilly's innovative direct-to-consumer sales strategy, which exemplifies how modern marketing approaches can overcome traditional market barriers. Additionally, Eli Lilly's partnership with Walmart to expand access to Zepbound through retail pharmacy pickups exemplifies a strategic approach to enhancing patient access to crucial medications. By leveraging Walmart's extensive retail network, this collaboration facilitates easier access to obesity treatments—a significant public health challenge—enhancing both patient convenience and broadening market reach for Lilly's products. These achievements not only highlight the potential of strategic marketing but also underscore a growing demand for effective obesity treatments within the pharmaceutical industry.In another exciting development, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals has reported impressive sales figures for Amvuttra, a treatment for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. Surpassing analysts' expectations, this success signals a growing market for treatments targeting rare diseases and emphasizes the importance of strategic market expansion to reach underserved patient populations.Meanwhile, Bristol Myers Squibb's anticipated schizophrenia treatment, Cobenfy, has experienced a lukewarm market entry. While meeting initial expectations in its first year, it has yet to create the breakthrough impact investors anticipated. This situation highlights the challenges even well-hyped pharmaceuticals face upon launch and underscores the need for continuous strategic planning to ensure market penetration and sustained growth.A surprising development in mergers and acquisitions comes from Novo Nordisk's $6.5 billion counteroffer to acquire Metsera, an obesity biotech initially targeted by Pfizer. This aggressive move reflects intense competition in the obesity drug market and illustrates the high stakes involved in acquiring promising biotech assets that could potentially transform treatment paradigms for chronic conditions like obesity.The vaccine industry is navigating its own set of challenges with declining sales across the board. However, Merck's adult pneumococcal vaccine Capvaxive has shown promising initial sales figures. As the first pneumococcal vaccine specifically designed for adults, Capvaxive indicates a potential niche market that Merck could successfully capture.On the regulatory front, significant measures are being taken by the FDA to boost biosimilar availability against drug pricing pressures. New draft guidance aims to eliminate clinical testing requirements for biosimilars and categorize all approved biosimilars as "interchangeable." This initiative could significantly reduce biologic medicine costs post-patent expiration and increase competition in the market, potentially making essential medications more accessible to patients. Additionally, the FDA is proposing streamlined biosimilar approval pathways aimed at reducing overall bio-drug costs—a welcome move reflecting concerted efforts to make essential medications more affordable and accessible globally.Argenx has reported positive trial results for Vyvgart in treating generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), highlighting its commitment to addressing unmet needs within this patient population. These findings could expand treatment options for gMG patients who have been previously overlooked in thSupport the show

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche continue their conversation with Agustin Morrone, CEO and co-founder of Vintti, a company improving the remote hiring process for U.S. and Canadian businesses across Latin America. From his base in Barcelona, Agustin explains how Vintti combines AI, automation, and cultural alignment to build remote teams faster while keeping people at the center. Vintti's mission remains clear: help companies hire top Latin American talent in under 21 days, saving up to 60 percent on payroll while maintaining quality and trust. In Part 2, we explore how Vintti's evolving systems make the remote hiring process smarter and more scalable. Using AI to Strengthen the Remote Hiring Process Vintti's young, tech-driven team approaches work with an “AI-first mindset.” Rather than replacing people, AI removes repetitive tasks that slow down the remote hiring process. Originally, every interview was manual. Now, AI manages more than half of all first-round interviews, rating English proficiency and technical expertise. Recruiters then step in to evaluate communication style and cultural fit. “AI helps us focus on what matters most,” Agustin says. “It saves time and allows our recruiters to build stronger relationships.” Automation Tools That Simplify Remote Recruitment Vintti automates much of its communication and reporting to improve efficiency. Instead of sending raw resumes, it builds custom, client-ready CVs using AI. Each profile merges data from interviews, LinkedIn, and client discussions into a consistent, easy-to-read document. Automated follow-ups and feedback loops help recruiters stay engaged throughout the remote hiring process, keeping clients informed without losing the human connection. Automation drives consistency, but empathy drives connection. Human Insight: The Key to Remote Hiring Success AI helps identify top candidates, yet it can't replace intuition. Recruiters still assess tone, enthusiasm, and motivation—critical elements of cultural fit. Similarly, Vintti maintains personal conversations with each client to understand company culture before sourcing talent. This ensures every step of the hiring process reflects both human judgment and data-driven insight. Testing, Learning, and Improving the Remote Hiring Process Experimentation fuels progress at Vintti. Recruiters rely heavily on LinkedIn but constantly test new tools to expand reach and reduce friction. “We test, compare, and adapt,” Agustin explains. “If a tool adds value, we scale it. If not, we move on.” This culture of experimentation keeps the hiring process innovative and resilient. Cultural Patterns in Global Recruiting Regional patterns help Vintti understand candidate strengths. Colombian professionals often shine in customer support, Argentines excel in sales, and Mexican talent frequently leads in finance. However, Agustin cautions against stereotyping. “Patterns are helpful, but people are unique,” he says. That perspective ensures fairness and flexibility in every hiring process decision. Supporting Global Teams After Placement Once hired, contractors integrate fully into client organizations. Vintti provides behind-the-scenes support—helping with taxes, communication skills, and professional development—while avoiding cultural interference. Support Principle: Empower independence and provide structure. This hands-off guidance strengthens relationships and keeps the hiring process transparent from start to finish. Discipline and Growth in the Hiring Journey Internally, Agustin looks for self-motivated people who take ownership. He values discipline over motivation, believing that commitment leads to better long-term outcomes. “Motivation fades, but discipline lasts,” he explains. This mindset ensures every member of the Vintti team contributes to refining the hiring process daily. The Future of the Remote Hiring Process Agustin believes AI will reshape global recruiting. While some jobs will change, others will grow. Vintti plans to: Identify new skill trends early. Use automation and AI to make hiring faster and smarter. “Companies that work with AI—not against it—will win,” Agustin concludes. Key Takeaway Agustin Morrone's story shows that the modern remote hiring process depends on balance. AI delivers speed and consistency, while people provide connection and understanding. Together, they build stronger teams worldwide. Learn more about their mission at www.vintti.com.

It's that time again! It's October. The sun goes down in the afternoon now. Night has a chill. And at CVS and Walgreens, they are already putting up the Christmas decorations. That's right, it's Halloween. But none of that for us! We are firmly planted in autumn. As Ray Bradbury once wrote, “Something, something, something, autumn something.” By Ray Bradbury. We have enough show here to stuff your pillowcase, so grab a bag of candy and settle back. Howard Berger and Marshall Julius are here to discuss their new book, Making Monsters, inside stories from the creators of Hollywood's most iconic creatures. This is a terrific book, basically it's a high school yearbook for professional monster kids. Rick Baker, Tom Savini, Michael Giacchino, Larry Karaszewski, Ve Neill, Richard Edlund, Derek Mears, Bill Corso, David Dastmalchian, Mick Garris, Mike Mendez. The list goes on and on and on. Monster kids who grew up but never put it away, and followed their passions right into show business. Packed with photos and interviews, it's really a terrific piece. Making Monsters, by Howard Berger. The Academy Award winning make up artist, he is the B in KNB FX and Marshall Julius, author and film critic and - get this – he's British. He's from the United States of Britain. Daren Docterman is also here. Daren is an illustrator and set designer, he's worked on The Abyss, Monster House, Master and Commander, he was the VFX supervisor on the director's cut of Star Trek - The Motion Picture. He, along with Mark Altman and Ashley Miller, make up The Inglourious Trexperts. Check out that podcast. And, like Howard Berger and Marshall Julius. He's a pal. We've had meals. Quite a few. Daren Dochterman. True Tales From Weirdsville takes a deep dive into American International Pictures and it's genre output in the '50s and '60s. It gave us Roger Corman, It Conquered The World, Invasion Of The Saucer Men, The Amazing Colossal Man, I Was a Teenage Werewolf. And then it segued into the '60s with the Vincent Price / Edgar Allen Poe films like The House Of Usher, The Pit and The Pendulum, and so and and so forth. And then, as a Halloween bonus, we're going to go back into the archives and present you the True Tales we did on Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds broadcast. It's all here. It's all for you. And now, I can hear the kids at the door, and so it is on to our filthy business.

Week 7 was pure chaos. From AFC North embarrassment to NFC contenders flexing their muscle. The Bums break down every matchup, call out frauds, and somehow defend Joe Flacco's late-career heater.Steelers @ Bengals:“Both of these teams stink.” The AFC North looks like a dumpster fire, but somehow Joe Flacco keeps throwing dimes. Tomlin's seat might finally be getting warm.Rams vs Jaguars (London):What exactly are the Jaguars? Trevor Lawrence might be broken. The Rams, meanwhile, look like a legit Super Bowl contender overseas.Raiders @ Chiefs:Raiders stink. Chiefs cruise. Vegas refuses to trade Maxx Crosby for some reason.Patriots @ Titans:Do the Titans even like football anymore? Vrabel's team looks lost, and Henderson can't buy a carry. Tennessee might be headed for 1–16 territory.Dolphins @ Browns:The Browns blow out Miami. With -400 odds of being fired next, when will Mike McDaniel be set free?Panthers @ Jets:Justin Fields benched, Tyrod Taylor in. The Jets' season is a catastrophe. The Panthers aren't good either, but someone had to win this rock fight.Eagles @ Vikings:Philly gets right. Minnesota's QB situation makes zero sense. J.J. McCarthy's healthy but benched “for rest.” Sure.Colts @ Chargers:Indy looks playoff-ready, while the Chargers are just dumb football right now. Injured or not, it's the same old story.Packers @ Cardinals:Green Bay sneaks by again. “Glass half full, 4-1-1. Glass half empty, you're almost losing to bad teams.” The Cardinals? Just unpleasant.Commanders @ Cowboys:Are the Commanders bottoming out? Jayden Daniels adds a “knee injury” to his resume. Dallas offense looked frisky, defense, not so much.Giants @ Broncos:Broncos drop 33 in the 4th, but the Giants' kicker ruins everything.Falcons @ 49ers:Kyle Shanahan might be Coach of the Year. The Falcons continue their Jekyll & Hyde routine, no clue which team will show up weekly.Buccaneers @ Lions:The Lions roll while the Bucs' injury list reads like a CVS receipt. Too banged up to compete.Texans @ Seahawks:The Seahawks are fun again. Houston remains the NFL's biggest mystery. “What is C.J. Stroud?”Saints @ Bears:Sloppy but telling. The Bears have a real coach, a real run game, and a defense that showed up. Caleb Williams was off, but it didn't matter. Spencer Rattler? Rough day.

We reject more candidates every week than most brands/agencies will reject in a year of hiring for this role.It's safe to assume that if someone does just 2 things every day - 1) manage 8-figure ad accounts and 2) recruit senior Amazon PPC managers - then they'll be better at hiring for that role than most of the population.They'll be better than you, the $250k/mo brand owner who's not truly been hands on in ads for 12 months.They'll be better than the eCommerce recruitment firm who's recruiter has never seen Seller Central, let alone adjusted a bid. "We reviewed these CVs for you and they seem worth a chat - 25% invoice incoming." They'll be better than your current hire who's been managing Amazon PPC for 3-years now (our team's been doing it 10-years).They'll be better than your HR team who have absolutely no idea about AMC becoming freely available to all sellers.They'll be better than me, George Reid, the Amazon agency owner of 8-years, who simply isn't qualified to make a decision on someone's Amazon ad expertise...because I haven't done it every day for a decade.

It's Dallas Week! The Washington Commanders (3-3) head to Arlington to take on the Dallas Cowboys (2-3-1) in one of the oldest rivalries in the NFL.This week's episode begins with the All-22 Review vs Chicago Bears. What went well? What didn't? Who gets a game ball?We begin, as we always do, with the injury report for the game. The Commanders injury report is basically a CVS receipt, with any number of important players on it, including WRs Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin. Noah Brown was recently placed on IR, meaning he is going to miss at least 4 more games. In response, the Commanders have signed former Titans WR Treylon Burks. The Cowboys, in the meanwhile, are getting healthier, with Tyler Booker and CeeDee Lamb tracking to be back. Trevon Diggs, however, misses out.The Commanders offense, featuring Jayden Daniels, takes on a Cowboys defense that is the worst they'll come across all season. They are dead last in yards per game, passer rating allowed per game, and numerous other categories. How will we fare against them with Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown out once again?The Commanders defense goes against Dak Prescott, George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson, Javonte Williams and this high flying Dallas Cowboys offense that ranks #1 in the NFL. How do our defense match up with them?The Commanders are road underdogs by 1.5 points and the over-under is 54.5 points.

Kroger announces plans to use DoorDash's Dashmart fulfillment service for delivery, joining CVS and other retailers. This comes as Kroger re-examines its Ocado automated warehouse infrastructure and expands DoorDash delivery to all 2,700 stores. Chris worries this signals a lost e-commerce strategy, while Anne focuses on the need for in-store automation. The hosts debate whether Kroger is making the right moves or swinging the pendulum too far away from owned infrastructure toward third-party marketplaces. #Kroger #DoorDash #GroceryDelivery #Ecommerce #Ocado #Instacart #RetailStrategy #OnlineGrocery #MicroFulfillment
