[SEGMENT 1-1] A Kamala Harris world… It's a delicate balance between informing and not causing a panic. I don't know how Democrats can live as they do. I have never seen a more group of deranged people than a Democrat voter. These people have truly lost touch with reality. Can I give you a couple of examples? Real stories… Daily Mail Headline: 12-yr-old being taught about anal sex in school while 9-yo are told to “masturbate” for homework. Shocking lesson plans used by teachers in the UK 7 years imprisonment in the UK for mis-pronouning https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1824045/labour-gender-pronouns-hate-crime-law Last year a Christian preacher was convicted of harassing a transgender woman by calling her a “man” and a “gentleman”. David McConnell was given a 12-month community order for leaving Farrah Munir “emotionally distraught” after an argument between the two while he was preaching on a street in Leeds. His conviction was quashed after magistrates ruled there was no evidence it was intentional. Anneliese Dodds, Shadow Women and Equalities Secretary, said: “The Conservatives are failing to protect LGBT+ people with their inability to get a handle on hate crime, including violent hate crime. “Labour will strengthen the law to ensure the perpetrators of anti-LGBT+ hate can no longer dodge longer sentences. “And our fully funded plan to recruit 13,000 more neighbourhood police and community support officers would increase safety for everyone.” How many Spanish language commercials do you see for candidates? At the start of the year, many months after we first pointed out that the biggest untold story of the US labor market was the "great replacement" of native born workers with foreign-born workers (most of whom we subsequently learned were illegal aliens), we asked how is it, that the ongoing replacement (because that's what it is) of US workers is "not the biggest political talking point right now" considering that "since October 2019, native-born US workers have lost 1.4 million jobs; over the same period foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs" Source: ZeroHedge [SEGMENT 1-2] Devious Left and Montana Politics [X] SB – Robby Starbuck on Sheehy being targeted by Democrats Mark Cahotes Bridger Aerospace…put fires out MT company, publicly traded.

In this conversation, Jason and Mindy discuss various topics including driving habits, the health benefits of cycling, and famous brands that used to sell something else. They also share some music news and talk about their plans for the summer. The conversation ends with a quote about procrastination.https://www.youtube.com/@lowtreestudioshttps://www.lowtreestudios.com/After passing their driving test, it takes someone just ten weeks to become a bad driver. A study of 2,000 car owners found the average new road user lets bad habits creep in less than three months after getting their driver's license. The two things we do almost immediately are not holding the steering wheel in the correct position and failing to check our mirrors every time we make a lane change. Only 40 percent of women and 32 percent of men believe they have bad driving habits.New research out of Scotland says that cyclists have a 47% lower risk of early death and a 10% lower risk of hospitalization for any reason, than commuters who drive or take the train. The study followed more than 82,000 UK residents over 18 years, who ranged in age from 16-74 at the beginning. Commuting by bike was associated with a 51% lower risk of dying from cancer, a 24% lower risk of hospitalization for heart disease and a 20% lower risk of being prescribed drugs for mental health problems. - Bruce Springsteen – is officially a billionaire. According to a “conservative” estimate by Forbes, his net worth is $1.1 billion. In 2021, he sold his music catalog for an estimated $500-$550 million, the biggest transaction ever for a single artist's body of work. - Prince's planned Netflix biopic is on hold because his estate has a problem with its 9-hour length, according to a report. The 2018 deal for the doc called for a 6-hour series, but director Ezra Edelman's final cut currently runs 3 hours longer, which the estate says violates their agreement.➢ Lamborghini Started Out Making Tractors: At some point, a beef with Enzo Ferrari led to the company making sports cars, but it still makes tractors to this day.➢ Shell used to literally sell shells: In the 1800s, antique dealer Marcus Samuel expanded his business by selling exotic seashells. This required a large import/export infrastructure. When he died, his sons took over and developed an interest in importing and exporting oil.➢ Avon used to sell books: In the 1800s, founder David McConnell was a door-to-door book salesman. To get his foot in the door, he offered women a free vial of perfume that he made himself. It turned out that his perfume was much more popular than the books…➢ Mazda made corks: The company was founded in 1920 as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co in Japan. After about a decade, the company did a complete 180 and got into manufacturing vehicles.➢ Samsung was basically a general store: Founded as Samsung Sanghoe in 1938, it sold dried fish, noodles and other groceries. By the 1950s, the company was branching out into insurance, construction, and even a theme park. But electronics turned out to be their big money maker.➢ Taco Bell was originally a hot dog stand: In 1948, Glen Bell ran Bell's Drive-In, selling hot dogs and burgers. But he noticed the popularity of the café across the street, which sold tacos. He got friendly with staff there, learned their recipes, and opened his first taco stand in 1951.➢ Play Doh Started as Wallpaper Cleaner: The company was a struggling soap manufacturer that started making wallpaper cleaner, at a time when coal soot was an issue inside people's homes. A relative of one of the owners had a daycare and gave some of the wallpaper cleaner to the kids to play with — and they loved it. The formula was adjusted by adding color and a scent — and Play Doh was born.➢ Louis Vuitton was a Box Maker: 13-year-old Louis worked as a packer, making fancy...
David McConnell ditched his door to door book selling gig to pursue the bribe that he we giving for attention. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders podcast, teaching business owners the Not-So-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Travis Crawford HVAC Ad] Stephen Semple: Ding dong. What makes you think of when the doorbell rings, what ad? Ding dong. Dave Young: Ding dong. Well, I was expecting a topic, first of all. Stephen Semple: Okay, well work with me here. What do you recall? Dave Young: Shoot, in the last five years, just chasing people away from my front porch. Stephen Semple: Oh, okay. Dave Young: Avon calling. Stephen Semple: There you go. Avon calling. That's who we're going to talk about. Dave Young: Yeah, I don't think they're doing that anymore. Stephen Semple: No, they aren't. But that recall is really, really interesting from the fact that you were able to remember those ads. Because those ads have not run, they stopped running in the late sixties. We were like... Dave Young: Oh my gosh. Stephen Semple: We were really young when those ads stopped, and yet you were still able to recall it. Dave Young: And I'm probably recalling it as a persistent meme in our culture that Avon calling, it became, not, it was woven into probably movies and TV and mass culture, so that for the next decade or decade and a half, it was still echoing, right? Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Stephen Semple: So think about how powerful that was. We're going to talk about Origin, a little bit about Avon. Dave Young: I think that's a fascinating phenomenon. I'm anxious to hear the Avon story. It reminds me of cigarette jingles as well that ended when they banned cigarette advertising in the mid-seventies. Yet for the next 20, 30 years, I mean, anybody that was alive then could still tell you Winston tastes good like a cigarette should, right? There's so many of those. So yeah, they just become a part of us. Stephen Semple: And they're powerful enough that they're, as you said, spoofing them on Simpsons and things along that lines. But back to Avon. So Avon's a really old company. It was founded in 1886 by David McConnell, and today, it's still around today. They do 9 billion in sales, they have 23,000 employees. There's over 6 million representatives of Avon, and it's still privately held by Natura Holdings out of Brazil. And they're giving you an idea, there are four Avon lipsticks sold every second. Dave Young: Dang, that's a lot of lipstick. Stephen Semple: Boom four, boom four, boom four. Isn't that incredible? Isn't that amazing? Avon's founder, David McConnell, started in sales back in the 1880s as a door to door book salesman. And so we've heard this happen with other businesses because he then used a popular gimmick. Remember Wrigley's? Remember how Wrigley's didn't start by selling gum? The gum was the free giveaway? McConnell offered a free gift in exchange for a moment of the customer's time. So it was a gift with appointment. And guess what he gave away? Perfume. Dave Young: Oh, okay. Stephen Semple: Most of the customers McConnell dealt with were housewives who were home in the afternoon hours while their husband was away at work. And so he decided to work with a local pharmacy to create a fragrance that he could give away, little quantities for anybody who was willing to listen to the book pitch. But a funny thing happened, they were way more interested in the perfume than the books. So just like Wrigley,
