Brief DescriptionWhy do some people always seem “lucky” while others miss out? In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with Wharton economics professor Judd Kessler, author of Lucky by Design, to reveal the hidden rules that govern life's most important markets—from dating to job hunting to Taylor Swift tickets. These “choose me” markets don't run on money alone; they run on signals, timing, and strategy. You'll learn why signaling interest often beats being perfect, how “settling for silver” can land you gold, and why gaming the system sometimes backfires. Judd breaks down strategies for college admissions, career opportunities, dating apps, and even Costco parking lots. Whether you're chasing a dream job, trying to stand out in dating, or just fighting bots for concert tickets, this conversation shows you how to design your own luck.

Beetronics didn't just buzz onto the scene—they showed up in beekeeper suits and rewired how pedal brands think about vibe. In this episode, Filipe Pampuri tells the whole wild arc: teenage studio raids in São Paulo, building a home studio so serious they moved mom out of her bedroom, hopping to L.A. to mix at NRG with Jay Baumgardner, mastering at Sterling Sound, touring alongside Papa Roach and P.O.D., and accidentally launching a pedal company that turned into an art project with knobs. We dig into Beetronics' visual identity, the leap from hand-painted customs to the signature faceplates, the breakout Royal Jelly moment, and the brand-new BeeBeeDee—an analog delay that nails the classic sound and then goes sideways with lo-fi textures and pitch-shifted octaves. Also: why São Paulo pizza will ruin you for life, what “B” actually stands for, and a reminder that you make the music, not the gear. The nickname that became Beetronics and the Comic-Con-meets-NAMM launch DIY beginnings: ADAT mishaps, studio obsession, and learning electronics to keep sessions alive L.A. chapter: NRG, Sterling Sound, and opening for big rock tours How a custom “Walk The Hell” turned into orders… and then a company Designing pedals as instruments: art direction, faceplates, and community shout-outs Deep dive on the BeeBeeDee analog delay: classic tone, lo-fi mode, clever HP/LP tone shaping, and square-wave pitch tricks for “one-guitar, fake-band” madness Philosophy check: chase inspiration first, gear second Check out the stuff on their website HERE https://www.beetronicsfx.com/ Support The Show And Connect!

This isn't your typical family business story. Bobby started in finance, swore he'd never work with family, then life forced a pivot. Stepping in reluctantly, he helped scale the business to 40 locations and $50M, but success came at a cost: resentment, burnout, and the realization that growth without alignment is a trap. So, he walked away. Bobby went on to build Greenridge Wealth, a firm built on values, systems, and a team-first culture. His mission? Help founders build businesses that run without them so they can actually live. In this episode, Bobby lays it all out. The toll of resentment. The dangers of tying your identity to your business. The hard decisions around rebuilding teams, shifting mindsets, and designing companies that can grow without you in the middle of everything. This is about leadership, clarity, and doing it on your own terms. Not grinding forever. Not chasing empty success. Just building a business that serves your life, not the other way around.

In this episode of Tech It To The Limit, hosts Sarah Harper and Elliot Wilson revisit generational myths in digital health and reveal why age isn't the real barrier to adoption. Through their new game, Fact Check Fever, and a deep dive into the Capability-Motivation-Context (CMC) framework, they show how design, usability, and trust matter far more than birth year. From busting stereotypes to exploring how health systems can design with users, not for them, it's a witty, insightful look at the future of inclusive, human-centered innovation.Key TakeawaysGenerational myths don't hold up: Boomers use portals, Gen Z cares about privacy, and every group struggles with clunky design, not just “digital natives.”Design trumps demographics: Adoption isn't about age, it's about usability, accessibility, and human-centered design.Follow the CMC framework: Capability, motivation, and context, not birth year, to predict whether people engage with health tech.Health equity requires intention: Neutral AI does not exist; equity has to be actively built into technology.The biggest unifier isn't age: A diagnosis, condition, or shared health journey brings people together across generations more than labels like Boomer or Gen Z.In this episode:[00:00:13] Welcome & episode introduction[00:00:55] Recap of Mayo Clinic live show[00:02:36] Looking ahead to HLTH: speakers, tracks, and the health tech “fashion week” vibe[00:05:08] Conference tracks & awards00:07:13] Launching Fact Check Fever: busting myths on portals, EHR burnout, Gen Z TikTok habits, and more[00:07:37] Fact Check Fever: generational myths & data[00:19:24] Break for fake sponsor: Patient Portal Plus Plus[00:20:44] Sincere segment: CMC framework for health tech adoption[00:22:24] Deep dive: CMC framework explained[00:31:17] Designing with, not for, users[00:35:31] Break for fake sponsor: Bias Focals[00:37:14] Spicy Nugs: co-host lightning round[00:46:41] Closing thoughts, HLTH call-to-action, and Elliot's health tech haikuResourcesTech It To The Limit PodcastWebsite Apple PodcastSarah HarperLinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahbethharperElliott WilsonLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewelliottwilson

Want to get better at photography faster? Stop waiting for inspiration and start training like an athlete. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I sit down with street photographer Ryan Faer, who uses his background in professional baseball as an athletic trainer to show how discipline, repetition, and practice can transform the way you shoot. We explore how applying an athlete's mindset to photography can help you sharpen your skills, stay consistent, and see improvement over time. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why “reps” matter – putting in the shots makes you quicker to recognize and capture moments. How to schedule practice time – building a routine instead of waiting for free time. Designing photo “drills” – focusing on specific skills like light, framing, or using one lens. Reviewing your own footage – analyzing your images to identify strengths and weaknesses. The power of consistency – why steady effort beats perfection every time. If you've ever felt stuck in your photography or wondered how to push yourself forward, this episode will give you a practical framework to grow - one rep at a time. Listen now and discover how a training system designed for athletes can help you become a stronger photographer.

The oldest members of Gen X are facing retirement, and many are feeling unprepared. Traditional pensions disappeared just as Gen X entered the workforce. 401(k)s weren't mainstream until much later. And along the way, they endured the tech bubble, the Great Recession, and a pandemic. No wonder headlines call Gen X “the forgotten generation” and warn of a retirement crisis. In this episode, Jean sits down with author and Yahoo Finance senior columnist Kerry Hannon to talk about her new book with co-author Janna Herron, Retirement Bites: A Gen X Guide to Securing Your Financial Future.

In this episode, Casey sits down with Ty Nielson and Tim Miller, the entrepreneurial duo behind Ninja Kids, for a candid masterclass on building creator-led experiences with heart, vision, and relentless execution. Fresh off a Tony Robbins immersion, they unpack how state, story, and strategy helped catalyze new habits and higher standards; and why the energy of an aligned community can flip limiting beliefs into bold action.Ty and Tim trace their path from shaping the trampoline park industry to founding Ninja Kids; along the way they learned that it's rarely a lack of resources, but a lack of resourcefulness that holds leaders back. Their time scaling hundreds of locations provided a front-row education in private equity, deal structure, and culture; lessons they'd later use to design on their own terms.They also share the scrappy stories that shaped the brand's creator partnership strategy; from pursuing real estate with nothing but conviction, to a chance introduction that led to the Ninja Kids collaboration and a new growth thesis. Expect takeaways on proximity as power, building wonder into product, modeling excellence, and leading so your people feel believed in.Chapters00:00 | Opening & Intros: Ninja Kids leadership00:41 | Tony Robbins: going “all in”01:52 | Shared values & why Sandlot invested03:58 | What a Tony event feels like (state → story → strategy)06:47 | The 55° room, physiology, and energy07:14 | Full-circle moment on Casey's plane10:08 | Community, permission to play big, and breakthroughs11:00 | Proximity is power: the billionaire story15:13 | Belonging, imposter syndrome, and belief17:15 | Dreaming bigger: from $20M to $1B vision17:46 | Shared values with investors & doing them proud19:50 | Theme of the journey: people who believe in you20:56 | Origins: missions in Russia & lifelong partnership27:06 | What Russians taught them about trust and loyalty29:29 | Ty's childhood in post-USSR Russia (Pepsi → Coke!)31:44 | The leap: from Schlumberger to “ringmaster” vision35:12 | Titles, vision, and chasing wonder36:20 | Modeling leaders; habits, gratitude, and wonderment41:08 | Designing for wonder: lighting, art, and moments45:46 | Scaling lessons: do your absolute best, be resourceful47:49 | It's not resources; it's resourcefulness54:14 | 300+ parks, private equity, and real-world MBA56:32 | Culture shock: when the magic dwindles58:21 | Fired → phone call → blessing → new chapter01:02:23 | Pattern recognition: rebrands vs. creators01:06:05 | Tesla saga to Chicago: conviction on wheels01:08:37 | Kindness compounds: the people who helped01:12:50 | Emergent strategy: buy tired parks, create energy01:14:01 | Non-competes, red tape, and 34-month realities01:16:35 | The Ninja Kids intro (thanks, Stevie from BYU)01:17:44 | First acquisition in Dallas & signing the PGs Hosted on Acast.

Part 3 shifts from chat-fueled fireworks to a nuts-and-bolts look at how modern hockey cards get made. We dig into why players sometimes miss checklists, how budget and foiling choices shape designs, balancing beloved inserts (Jambalaya, Platinum Portraits) against over-saturation, and what it takes to engineer the “next PMG.” We also touch on PWHL product plans and why thoughtful innovation matters more than ever. Highlights Live-room energy: 200+ in chat, quick nods to a Marc-André Fleury “swan song” moment and a Barkov knee news blip What companies can actually do for collectors: concrete, collector-first thinking from the product side Checklist realities: autographs, game-used, licensing/approvals, and why “just add Player X” isn't simple Cost vs wow-factor: spectrum deco foil, high-gloss choices, and why some designs get cut to hit budgets Insert strategy: keeping Jambalaya/Platinum Portraits special while avoiding annual overuse and fatigue Designing a new chase: how “Liquid Gold” became a true insert hit (tough odds, no parallels) and the blueprint for future chases PWHL roadmap: building excitement without copy-pasting NBA/WNBA formulas; fresh mechanics for a new audience Family/on-ramp ideas: hobby “quests,” living-set vibes, and gamified projects that bring kids into collecting Player-collector lens: why team/player collectors still want firsts (e.g., a legend's first Jambalaya) even if the theme returns Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, we're revisiting one of our most-loved episodes: Carrie's story.

Ever felt like so much of what happens at work is utterly meaningless, wasteful and backwards?You're not alone.In this eye-opening conversation with James Healy, founder of Behavior Boutique and author of "BS at Work," we dive deep into why modern work often feels like bullshit.What if the biggest problem in modern work isn't lack of effort, technology, strategy, or "better humans" but the simple fact that we keep designing for humans as if we were some logical machines… instead of messy, emotional, social creatures we are? James reveals the fascinating disconnect between how organizations design systems and how humans actually operate.We've built workplaces on the false assumption that humans are rational, logical beings making careful calculations, when in reality we're "social, emotional, tribal storytelling animals" who often make decisions based on context, ease, and what others are doing.Take modern communication crisis. The average worker now faces 153 Teams messages and 117 emails daily, with interruptions approximately every two minutes. This constant barrage prevents deep work, destroys focus, and fuels burnout. And with AI potentially supercharging this problem.But there's hope.James offers practical principles for creating more human-centered workplaces.What you'll learn:Why burnout is 100% preventable if we stop treating humans like machines.The shocking origin stories of tools like Myers-Briggs and DISC (and why they're no more valid than a Harry Potter quiz).Why e-learnings and endless policies fail.How context, not individual willpower, drives behavior change at scale.Why sometimes the most effective solution is illogical, creative, or has to do with removing, not adding things.The power of storytelling as a leadership tool for influence, motivation, and culture change.... and so much more!
