Podcasts about Doubling

Will I get too bulky?" No. "Is it too late?" Also no. Here's the context: during the menopause transition, women lose lean mass, gain fat, and their muscle becomes harder to build — the same workout and the same protein meal produce less than they did at 30. For years the only conversation has been hormone therapy, yes or no, as if that were the fix. In Part 2 of her menopause series, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon looks at what the evidence actually says builds muscle back.In this episode:-Postmenopausal women can build muscle and strength at any age (Frontiers in Endocrinology)- Up to 8 lbs of skeletal muscle in 12 weeks (J Nutr Health Aging RCT)- Anabolic resistance: why the same workout and the same meal produce less after menopause- "I was wrong": hormone therapy vs. lifting, and the conversations with Dr. Donald Layman- HRT alone and lean mass: a 0.06 kg difference across 12 trials- Estradiol plus training: bigger quad and fat-free mass gains, maintained at 12 months- Lift first — the practical translation while the HRT evidence evolves- Why protein matters more after menopause, and why 60 g spread thin isn't enough- The RDA (0.8 g/kg) isn't enough to protect bone; ESCEO's 1–1.2 g/kg floor- Doubling protein to 1.6 g/kg: more fat lost, more lean mass kept- The 6-step Forever Strong menopause protocolSponsorDavid Protein — 28 g of protein, 150 calories, zero sugar → davidprotein.com/drlyon, subscribe to save 10% on every orderFind Dr. Gabrielle Lyon at:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/- TikTok: tiktok.com/@drgabriellelyon- Facebook: facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon- X: x.com/drgabriellelyon- Apply to become a patient – https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/- Weekly newsletter – https://institute-for-muscle-centric-medicine.ck.pageChapters:00:00 Will I get too bulky?

If you want to double your revenue, does part of you immediately start calculating how much more you're going to have to do? More clients. More calls. More content. More delivery. Maybe another team member. And suddenly the idea of making twice as much money sounds a lot like doing twice as much work. No wonder part of you is resisting the next level. Because if your current business already has you at capacity, doubling everything you're currently doing isn't growth. It's a recipe for exhaustion. In this episode, we're looking at what actually needs to change when you want to increase your revenue without increasing your workload at the same rate.

Most of the leaders I speak to are somewhere between curious and quietly anxious about AI. They know it matters. They're not entirely sure where to start. And the public narrative - redundancies, replacement, disruption - isn't helping anyone think clearly.Martin Wheatley works with senior leaders to rethink how work gets done with AI. His background is financial services - large teams, process improvement, regulated environments at scale. He brings a grounded, practical lens to a conversation that often generates more heat than light.If you've been dabbling with ChatGPT and wondering whether there's more to this than a slightly clever search engine, this one's worth your full attention.Three things we got into:✳️ Psychological safety is the leader's first job with AI - before your team can experiment, they need to know it's safe to try, fail, and learn in the open. Leaders who build that environment move faster than those who don't, and the organisations that are getting this right aren't cutting headcount - they're creating roles that didn't exist before.✳️ AI is brilliant at systems and pretty poor at emotion - most leadership doctrine already leans too far into command-and-control thinking. Doubling down on AI without balancing it with human judgment isn't progress. The leader's job is to provide the emotional and strategic intelligence the tools can't replicate.✳️ Delegation is the hidden AI skill nobody's talking about - setting clear expectations, checking work, correcting course. That's already your job. It's also exactly what working effectively with AI requires. If you can master delegation, you're already ahead of most people using these tools.Martin's amplifiers - things you can do right now:✳️ Read Empire of AI by Karen Hao - it covers the rise of OpenAI, how the models were built and trained, and some of the less visible human and environmental costs involved. Good context for any leader who wants to understand what they're actually working with, beyond the marketing.✳️ Revisit Carol Dweck's growth mindset - Martin's seen people go from being the loudest AI detractors in a business to becoming its biggest internal champions. The willingness to be a beginner again is what separates those who adapt from those who get left behind.✳️ Try WhisperFlow (or VoiceInk if monthly fees aren't your thing) - press a button, talk at your screen, let the AI distil what you're actually trying to say. Martin uses it daily for prompting. It's faster and more honest than typing because your brain stops filtering what comes out.If this was useful, hit follow so you don't miss what's coming next. And if you've got a moment before you get on with your day, a five-star review wherever you listen to podcasts makes a genuinely noticeable difference.Find out more about Martin : https://www.theaileaderlab.com/& connect with him on Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinjwheatley/Apple Podcasts Timestamps00:00 - Introduction and episode preview00:49 - Bob's intro - the Personal Brand Business Roadmap02:00 - Why AI is a leadership conversation, not just a technology one02:50 - Martin Wheatley - background and what he does05:00 - Psychological safety and the AI narrative08:09 - The creative explosion hiding behind the efficiency story10:30 - What IKEA and Costco are actually doing with AI13:03 - What you get when you strip people out to chase efficiency14:35 - Command and control leadership vs what AI needs from you17:13 - How the average leader gets started with AI19:07 - Why structured learning matters more now than ever20:34 - How Martin works with individual leaders23:00 - Managing tool risk - don't put all your eggs in one basket25:08 - Why most people still can't run a proper Google search26:31 - Everyone is becoming a manager of agents28:39 - The imagination gap - why we need a roundtable29:14 - The Multiply Method Roadmap - PRIME explained32:45 - Amplifier 1 - Empire of AI by Karen Hao34:48 - Amplifier 2 - Carol Dweck's growth mindset36:10 - Amplifier 3 - WhisperFlow (and VoiceInk)37:51 - Where to find Martin Wheatley38:46 - Outro and links----Get your copy of my Personal Brand Business BlueprintIt's the FREE roadmap to starting, scaling or just fixing your expert business.www.amplifyme.agency/roadmap----Subscribe to my Youtube!!

Money they expect to help pay their living expenses when they are no longer be able to work.  These savers would never consider Investing their money in the stock market. To them the stock market is seen as a form of gambling where they could lose all their life savings and be left penniless.The banks may pay them as much as 0.01% for the use of their money which they will lend to borrowers at rates as high as 22%. Meanwhile their savings account is under attack from an average annual inflation rate of about 3.5% a year. In ten years they will be able to buy 30.50% less than what the money in your savings can now buy. There is a much better, safer place for your savings than in bank savings account. I say this as an  investor who twenty-five years lost $300,000 of my life savings investing in supposedly safe mutual funds chosen by an investment advisor. That loss is made me realize my savings would not be safe until I learned how to wisely manage my savings.  I am now sharing with you the benefit of my 25 years of research and experience in safe, effective money management. To illustrate how my better way of managing money can safely benefit you over many years, in this week's podcast I take the data of 10 financially strong high dividend stocks from my 2021 book on Canadian high dividend  stocks and compare these historical results to their current 2026 results. All my information sources are   instantly and freely available so that you can verify how easy it is for you to make wise choices. My retirement savings have grown over these 25 years by many multiples and  provide me with a very generous, ever growing monthly income that exceeds my needs and wants.

Interview with Drew Clark, President & CEO of Summit RoyaltiesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/summit-royalties-tsxvsum-secures-us50m-credit-facility-to-fund-cash-flowing-deals-push-11308Recording date: 22nd September 2026Summit Royalties (TSXV:SUM, OTCQX:SUMMF) is a precious metals royalty and streaming company that began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange in November 2025. In under a year it has assembled a portfolio of around 46 royalties and streams, completed the Star Royalties acquisition, bought a royalty on Newmont's Saddle North deposit and arranged its first credit facility. President and CEO Drew Clark says Summit has not raised any money since going public.The investment case rests on a visible production step-up. Four assets currently generate revenue: a 1% NSR on West Red Lake Gold Mines' Madsen mine in Ontario, a 50% silver stream on Orezone Gold's Bomboré mine in Burkina Faso, a 2% royalty on Iwatani's Keysbrook mineral sands operation in Western Australia, and a 0.5% NSR on Denarius Metals' Zancudo mine in Colombia. Bomboré dominates for now, at an estimated 68% of 2026 revenue.Two development assets are scheduled to enter production in 2027. Copperstone in Arizona, operated by Mining Americas, is permitted, funded and under construction, with first gold targeted for mid-2027. Summit holds a 4% gold stream there, paying 25% of spot per ounce delivered, and a maiden open pit resource is expected in H2 2026. Pitangui in Brazil, operated by Jaguar Mining, pays Summit $80 per ounce on the first 250,000 ounces before converting to a 1.5% NSR. Development is expected to start in H2 2026, subject to an installation licence.Consensus estimates cited by Clark have revenue doubling in 2027 and again in 2028, with output above 4,000 gold equivalent ounces by 2028. Summit has not issued formal guidance but intends to. Because general and administrative costs run at $1.5 million to $2 million a year and are expected to stay broadly flat, most of that incremental revenue should reach the bottom line.The funding model is shifting. Summit's $25 million revolving facility from National Bank of Canada, with a $25 million accordion, is undrawn and costs between 6% and 7% when drawn, depending on leverage. Clark's argument is simple. When an acquired asset's revenue exceeds its interest cost, cash flow per share rises immediately and no shares are issued. That matters for a company trading at roughly 0.7 times P/NAV, where equity is an expensive currency.Valuation is the core of the opportunity. At a market capitalisation of US$109 million, Summit trades at the lowest P/NAV and price-to-2027 cash flow multiples in its presented peer group. Clark believes the market begins treating royalty companies as established players once revenue passes a threshold he now places near $20 million.Longer-dated optionality comes from AurMac, Banyan Gold's 8.6 million ounce Yukon project where Summit holds 0.5% to 2.0% royalties ahead of a PEA, and from Saddle North, which Clark expects to repay its C$5 million cost within a year of production.The risks are clear. Revenue is concentrated in Bomboré until 2027, both development assets are pre-production and could face delays, and the portfolio lacks a single cornerstone stream. Investors should track Copperstone construction, the Pitangui installation licence, the first facility drawdown and Summit's maiden guidance.View Summit Royalties' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/summit-royalties Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com/subscribe

In this Simple CFO Case Files episode, Christina Gutierrez sits down again with CFO Michael Glaspie to break open a case that starts with the most common story they hear: a young wholesaler making $300,000 a year top line with bone-dry bank accounts. He could see the money coming in but couldn't tell his financials left from right, and he was beyond stressed.Michael walks through how he diagnosed three root problems, employees, marketing, and profit margin, using lead-versus-lag thinking to trace each back to sales. He covers the brutal employee turnover burning $24,000 a year, the closing-table renegotiations that were gutting the wholesaler's deals, and the double-close fix that solved it. Over nine months the client doubled his top line, then doubled it again to over $1.2 million. If you're making money but feel broke, this one is a playbook.Timeline Summary[2:31] – The first look: $300K a year top line with financials you couldn't read left, right, or sideways[2:50] – The compliance red flag of deducting owner distributions as payroll[3:29] – He had QuickBooks, but it wasn't accurate and he couldn't read it[3:41] – Why the cash flow statement, not the P&L, shows what's actually in the bank[4:11] – Beyond stressed: a young single owner whose whole vision was lifestyle-driven[5:13] – Diagnosing the problem by breaking down expense, COGS, and revenue analysis[5:32] – The three root issues: employees, marketing, and inconsistent profit margins[6:48] – Why a CFO diagnoses the acquisition and marketing side, not just the expenses[7:07] – The accounting pyramid: bookkeeper as base, tax accountant above, CFO at the peak[8:07] – Lead measures versus lag measures and why sales are led by marketing and scripts[9:17] – The first fix: tackling employees, since they were running most of the sales[9:38] – The staggering turnover, 18 people rotated in nine months[10:13] – Running the numbers to show around $24,000 burned on hiring that year[10:36] – Fixing the hiring process with screening, interviewing, and Predictive Index[12:59] – The pushback on cutting his lifestyle spending down to necessities[13:41] – Turning the cuts into a 30-day challenge with milestones to make it a game[16:15] – Seeing better sales reps in seats within about three months[16:35] – Moving to marketing and focusing on conversion rate before increasing budget[16:57] – Digging into why the deals themselves were so variable[17:23] – The problem: sellers renegotiating at the closing table after seeing big assignment fees[18:21] – The double-close fix and pairing him with a transactional lender[19:07] – Doubling top line revenue in nine months from start to finish[20:15] – Doubling again the next 12 months to over $1.2 million[20:59] – How the Simple CFO dashboard and Profit First kept the lifestyle spending in check[23:02] – The one lesson: focus on the one thing with the biggest impact for the least time5 Key TakeawaysYour Deposits Aren't Your Profit — A $300K top line with empty bank accounts is the classic trap. Big deposits feel like money, but without accurate books and a cash flow statement, you have no idea what you're actually keeping.A CFO Diagnoses The Root, Not Just Expenses — A bookkeeper keeps the data accurate and a tax accountant reports it, but a CFO traces problems to their lead measures. Here, three issues all tracked back to sales.Employee Turnover Quietly Bleeds You — Rotating 18 people in nine months burned around $24,000 in hiring costs, plus weeks of ramp time with no revenue. Fixing the hiring process with real screening came first.Change Works In Baby Steps — The client fought cutting his lifestyle until it became a 30-day challenge with rising milestones. People stick with incremental wins far better than an overnight overhaul.The Double Close Saved The Margins — Sellers were renegotiating at the closing table after seeing huge assignment fees. Switching from wholesale to double closing with a transactional lender protected the profit and doubled revenue.Links & ResourcesSimple CFO — https://simplecfo.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing Free Workbooks — https://pfreiworkbook.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing by David Richter — https://profitfirstrei.comEnjoyed This Episode?If Michael's breakdown of tracing every problem back to one lead measure made you rethink where you're spending your energy, that's the shift worth making this week.

The late Thomas Leonard, the grandfather of life coaching, developed the idea of “tolerations.” Those everyday annoyances that wear you down or distract you.  The drawer that sticks. The tap that drips.  The email you're not answering. The monthly card game you no longer want to be part of. The windshield-washer fluid light that keeps coming on. (Ask me how I know.) None of them is big enough to force your hand, and that's exactly how they survive. But they aren't neutral. Each one is running in the background, taking a sliver of your energy, your attention and your confidence.Most of us assume the fix for a stalled goal is more discipline, more willpower, more grit. Doubling down on the goal.  But, very often the real problem is that the runway is cluttered. You can have the best engine in the world and still not take off if there are tolerations littering the path or dragging you down.In this episode:Why working through tolerations was the first thing I ever did in coaching, and why I still do a version of it, which I call "find the friction," with my own clientsHow a closet full of clothes that no longer fit became the friction I'd stopped noticing, and how naming it out loud turned it into a decision with a plan.Why the same thing applies to a plant-based practice.The "pick one thing" idea from coach Natalie Bacon that stopped me from turning one small goal into twenty.A note before you listen: this episode touches on weight loss and dieting, a subject some of us find triggering. I don't go into much detail, and it's really just my example of a distraction I decided to deal with, but if it's a topic you'd rather avoid, please skip this one and take good care of yourself.I'd love to hear the friction or toleration you named while you were listening. You don't have to tell me what you're going to do about it. Naming it is the first move. Email me or DM me on Instagram, and we can always have a chat by phone or email.I want your runway clean and clear, so that you can Vedge YOUR Best.Mentioned in this episodeThomas Leonard, coach and founder of the modern coaching profession, and his concept of "tolerations"Natalie Bacon, coach, and her "pick one thing" approach to goalsSubscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Last year he sold and installed $703,000 in plumbing — as a technician, in Amarillo. Zachery Kongsy is a service technician at Frank's Repair Plumbing in Amarillo, Texas. He sold and installed $703,000 last year, his second straight year past the CertainPath plumbing Crown Champion threshold — in his third year holding a license.  He spent nine years in restaurants first: Subway, Burger King, Texas Roadhouse. His stepdad has been at Frank's for 32 years and all three of his brothers worked there too. One shift at Roadhouse, two of them showed him their checks. "I was like, I can do that." He applied, got hired the same day, and started as an apprentice the next morning — riding with a seven-time Crown Champion, taking notes from the back of the room. The part he volunteers without being asked is the part most technicians hide: "Before I got this job I was very shy. Would not talk to anybody. Couldn't even start a conversation."  What changed was method, not personality. He still gives himself pep talks driving to the house. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, start to finish. In this conversation, you'll discover:  • Why he is in the gym at five and through the call histories before the trucks roll  • What he reads on the front of a house before he ever knocks on the door  • Why he never diagnoses alone — and the four words that explain it • How he builds three options out of sight, then reveals the membership savings last  • The line he uses when a $300 repair turns out not to be $300 • Why he gets a shovel in the ground the same night, even at eight o'clock  • The review ask at the door that lands nine times out of ten Whether you run a plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or roofing company, Zachery's process shows how a shy third-year technician turns ordinary service calls into $703,000 a year.  Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Doubling your property management portfolio is one thing. Doubling it while maintaining top-tier guest reviews is another. In this episode of The STR Data Lab, Jamie Lane sits down with returning guests Joe and Max Bachmeier, whose property management business grew from roughly 120 to 260 listings in just 12 months—while remaining among the highest-rated property managers in the country. They break down what actually drove that growth, from consistent local marketing and referrals to building a team capable of scaling the operation without sacrificing the guest or owner experience.A major theme of the conversation is scaling intelligently rather than simply scaling quickly. Joe and Max explain how they use their “three C's”—cash, care, and communication—to stay focused on what owners value most, while keeping guests, owners, and their team as three equally important priorities. They also share how AI and automation have changed their approach to guest communication, operations, and revenue management, allowing their team to spend less time answering repetitive questions and more time solving the issues that can have the biggest impact on guest satisfaction.The Bachmeiers also dive into what it takes to compete in an increasingly sophisticated STR market. From redesigning properties around specific guest demographics to using technology to identify listing-level revenue opportunities, they share practical lessons for property managers approaching the 100+ listing mark. Throughout it all, their philosophy remains consistent: build the right team, stay close to your market, and don't let growth come at the expense of quality.You don't want to miss this episode!Key TakeawaysScale your team before you scale your portfolio. Build a management structure where team members can grow into new roles and train their replacements rather than making the founders the bottleneck.Use the “three C's” to understand owner priorities: cash, care, and communication. Identify what matters most to each owner and build your service around it.Let AI handle the repetitive work—not the relationship. Automating routine guest questions can free staff to focus on complicated issues and guests who need more hands-on attention.Stay local as you grow. The Buchmeiers have continued concentrating their business primarily in Fredericksburg and Austin rather than expanding indiscriminately into new markets.Invest strategically in the property experience. Thoughtful design, distinctive amenities, and targeting a specific guest demographic can help a property stand out as competition increases.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Welcome to Separation Season. The fourth quarter of the real estate year has started, and most agents are already mentally checked out. They're talking about next year. They're planning December off. They've decided they earned it. That's the opportunity. Anything you put under contract after November 15 probably isn't closing this year, which means you have roughly 90 days to get real work done. On our team, September, October, and November account for as much as 31% of the business we close. Quitting now means walking away from nearly a third of your year. The core idea behind Separation Season is simple. Stay disciplined and focused while your competitors take their foot off the gas. You don't beat them by doing something clever, you beat them by still being in the game in December. Here's the whole system. Three numbers, tracked daily, posted somewhere you can see them: Daily conversations. How many people do you need to talk to every day? Weekly appointments. How many appointments are you going on in the next seven days? 90-day pending sales target. How many homes do you put under agreement in the next 90 days? Not closed, because closings aren't in your control. Under agreement. The first two are your lead indicators. The third is the lag indicator that follows from them. Nothing else matters over the next 90 days. That stretch is going to be noisy. Title company events, holiday parties, leaving early for trunk or treat. The agents who protect the daily conversation number through all of it come into January with momentum while everyone else is starting from zero. One more thing on goal setting: set a reasonable goal you know you can hit, then go after it with unreasonable effort. Doubling or quadrupling your business in twelve months isn't a plan, it's a wish. A realistic number attacked relentlessly beats a fantasy number abandoned in March. Credit to Adam Lavin on our team, who put it best in our Mastermind: you can advance a whole year in your business by finishing the fourth quarter strong. They're called holidays, not hollow months.

Stan Beck joins The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about risk-taking, reinvention, fatherhood and what it actually takes to build something that lasts - on the mats and in business. Stan is a 4th-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Renzo Gracie and the owner of Renzo Gracie Salt Lake City. A first-generation American raised in Queens, NY to parents who survived the Holocaust as hidden children in France, Stan has spent his career refusing to follow the conventional path - dropping out of college, flipping real estate, building and losing a business during the 2008 crash, surviving a brutal stretch trading stocks, and opening multiple martial arts academies from Florida to Utah. One of the biggest themes in this conversation is something almost every entrepreneur, investor or high performer eventually runs into: What separates the people who actually pull the trigger on an opportunity from the people who just talk about it? Stan talks openly about the two times in his life when things fell apart financially, and why he never let fear make the final decision. His answer wasn't some hidden trick - it was deciding what the actual worst-case scenario looked like, accepting he could survive it, and moving forward anyway. He also opens up about the parts of his own upbringing he consciously chose to keep and the parts he worked hard to break so his kids wouldn't inherit them. In this episode, Stan and Nick talk about: Growing up first-generation American with Holocaust-survivor parents in Queens Why listening to his father talk business (without being allowed to ask questions) shaped how he raises his own kids Dropping out of college and buying his first property in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at 30 years old Doubling his money on a concrete-floor loft with zero kitchen Becoming a realtor, moving to Florida, and building a hurricane window-film protection business Losing everything when the real estate market collapsed A painful, expensive lesson from trading stocks and why he never went back Training in the "blue basement" era of the Renzo Gracie Academy in NYC alongside Matt Serra, John Danaher, Ricardo Almeida and Chris Weidman Earning his black belt and opening academies in Florida, then Salt Lake City Knowing when a student or business partner is ready to run their own academy Why he handed off his Florida academy instead of holding on too tight Breaking generational patterns as a father and building emotional intelligence Why he tells his kids about his own weaknesses instead of hiding them The loyalty philosophy he learned from Renzo Gracie and why it only works one way first Why "hope" gets you through hard times better than forced enthusiasm Stan's biggest lesson for anyone trying to build something of their own: find someone who's already succeeded at what you want to do, copy their blueprint exactly until you get their results, and only then start making it your own. And when fear shows up, don't let it decide for you - decide for yourself what you can live with, and go.

She shares why billing is the most common inefficiency across law firms and how to help owners overcome this.

St. Louis Development Corporation CEO Stephen Westbrooks says for downtown St. Louis to feel like a neighborhood, it needs nearly double its current population. He says new incentives can get it there.

When the Treasury doubled its bond buyback out of the blue, the market read it as one thing: yield curve control by another name. Arthur Hayes joins host Spencer Nichols to walk through the mechanics, short-end issuance funding long-end buybacks, and what that implies for central bank balance sheets. His conclusion is simple. If the balance sheet expands, you want the asset most responsive to money printing, and he argues that asset is Bitcoin.

Send Jackie A Message!Most studio owners do not have a time problem. They have a dependency problem, and those two things have completely different solutions.In this episode, Jackie Murphy walks through what she did to her business before her third maternity leave. She pulled herself out early, on purpose, so she could watch what broke while she was still there to fix it. You do not plan for your absence. You rehearse it.She breaks down the five places she had to work: team (why she stopped hiring people who execute and started hiring people who build the system), decisions (handing off the call, not just the task), client delivery (building a bench instead of being the product), marketing (what keeps running when you stop), and money (funding a paid three month leave instead of chasing a bigger revenue number).If you have ever answered a sub text from a pool chair on vacation, this one is for you. Your version of this deadline just has not landed on the calendar yet.TIMESTAMPED OUTLINE[00:00] Why Jackie left her business before her leave started[02:00] What happens to the podcast during maternity leave[04:02] Why this matters even if you are not having a baby[06:08] Time problem or dependency problem: how to tell[07:43] Doing the job vs. building the system[11:00] Doubling the team and hiring builders instead of doers[14:20] Handing off decisions, not just tasks: the decision ladder[16:16] Client delivery: build a bench instead of being the product[19:52] Why marketing came fourth on the list[21:56] The money: funding a paid three month leave[25:02] The leadership work underneath all of itKEY TAKEAWAYS✓ You do not plan for your absence. You rehearse it while you are still there to fix what breaks. ✓ Efficiency fixes a time problem. Only a different business fixes a dependency problem. ✓ Someone who executes gives you labor. Someone who documents while they execute gives you an asset. ✓ Handing off the task is not the same as handing off the decision. Write the decision ladder. ✓ If your marketing stops when you stop, you do not have a marketing system. You have a task you perform. ✓ A paid leave is a different goal than a bigger revenue year, and it takes a different plan.PULL QUOTES"I wanted to know what would break while I was still here to fix it.""You do not have a time problem. You have a dependency problem.""One of those is labor. The other one is an asset.""Do not just document the task. Document the decisions.""The standard was not keep things running. The standard was keep clients growing.""Sometimes bigger revenue is not the goal. A paid maternity leave is the goal."FAQsHow do I prepare my studio business for maternity leave? Start early and remove yourself before you have to. Hand off decisions, document systems, and staff the gaps while you are still there to fix what breaks.What is the difference between a time problem and a dependency problem? A time problem means you need to get more done in the hours you have. A dependency problem means the business cannot run without you. Efficiency fixes one. Team and systems fix the other.Should I hire someone to do the work or build the system? Hire the person who documents how the work gets done while she does it. She costs more and is harder to find, and she is the one who makes the business less dependent on any one person.What is a decision ladder? A one page document listing which decisions your team makes alone, which they bring to you, and which only you make. It stops the constant questions.Can a studio run without the owner teaching or coaching? Yes, when results come from the business you built rather than your personal presence. Build a pipeline of people who deliver as well as you or better.What should my marketing do while I am away? Keep awareness marketing running to find new people and nurture marketing running to serve the people already in your world. What you do today shows up in 90 days.Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficialJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo-newThe Studio CEO Ads Agency: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/agencyFree WorkshopYour Next 100 Students Free Workshop: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/next100og

Stefan Sklepowicz, CEO of Kirkland Lake Discoveries (TSXV: KLDC) (OTCQB: KLKLF), joins me for an exploration update on the first two holes from the regional testing around the Mirado deposit in KL South. MZ target holes KLM26-035 and KLM26-037 successfully intersected multiple broad intervals of gold mineralization and high-grade gold. Their district-scale exploration portfolio, spanning KL West, KL East, and KL South is located in the Kirkland Lake region of Ontario's Abitibi Greenstone Belt; one of the most prolific mining districts in the world.   Mineralization and alteration of these holes are consistent with the Mirado South Zone and are interpreted to be contiguous with the historical deposit.  As such, the Company has renamed the MZ Zone to “Mirado West.” These holes are part of the ongoing summer 2026 drill program at KL South Project, 18 km south of Kirkland Lake, with 19 additional holes pending.   Highlights   KLM26-037 – 1.22 g/t Au over 69.50 m from 33.00 m including 5.67 g/t Au over 12.00 m KLM26-035 – 0.35 g/t Au over 21.18 m from 19.50 m and 0.65 g/t Au over 15.83 m from 65.20 m and 0.34 g/t Au over 11.23 m from 95.50 m and 36.72 g/t Au over 1.01 m from 174.50 m and 0.89 g/t Au over 11.60 m from 222.40 m Mineralization and alteration are consistent with the Mirado deposit, extending mineralization more than 600 m west and bringing the lateral mineralized footprint to over 1,300 m. 19 holes pending results Nine from Mirado North and South Four from Mirado West Six regional targets   Stefan outlined that intercepting broad, near-surface gold mineralization validates their regional targeting and significantly scales up the project, by extending the mineralized footprint to over 1,300 metres. This is demonstrating that Mirado is part of a much larger, contiguous gold system. With 19 holes still pending, including four more from this newly renamed Mirado West, the company is eagerly anticipating the rest of the summer program's results.   If you have any questions for Stefan about Kirkland Lake Discoveries then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Kirkland Lake Discoveries     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Start your free trial at trainheroic.comThe Illusion of Certainty — Franco ImpellizzeriDrew published the Death of Periodization article. It made its way to Franco Impellizzeri — one of the most cited researchers in sports science — who emailed back with some thoughts. One thing led to another. This is the conversation that followed.Fair warning: this one's heady. The real ones will hang around.What we get into:Coaching is a prediction problem. Not in the sense that you know what's going to happen, but in the sense that designing a training program is always an attempt to predict what will. Franco's framing here is deceptively simple, and it cuts straight to the heart of why periodization debates tend to go nowhere: if you can't articulate what you're predicting and why, you don't have a program. You have a habit you're attached to.The state of sports science is messier than the people citing it tend to let on. Franco has spent 20 years studying the quality of research itself — not just the findings. His conclusion: uncertainty in most studies is far larger than what gets communicated on social media. The Nordic hamstring curl debate is a good example of this. The acute-to-chronic workload ratio is probably the most widely cited injury prevention metric in sport right now. Franco was also involved in some of the most critical analysis of it. The data that most directly undermines the ratio is sitting in the same studies that supposedly support it — and almost nobody mentions it because it doesn't fit the model people already believe in.Brandolini's Law: refuting nonsense takes far more effort than producing it. Franco has a more colorful version he prefers, which he shares on air. Drew and Alex have both started using it to explain most of what they observe on the internet.The Nielsen running study makes an appearance in the closer. Doubling your longest single session run roughly doubles your injury risk. Doubling your weekly running frequency without spiking individual session length has essentially no effect on injury risk. Alex has been carefully managing his weekly mileage for months and is not thrilled about this information.Mentioned in this episode:Franco Impellizzeri — University of Technology SydneyNielsen et al. — How Much Running Is Too Much?Brandolini's LawThomas Kuhn — The Structure of Scientific RevolutionsDrew's Death of Periodization — mopsnmoes.com/articlesSean Bean's Get Birding podcast — for when you need to decompressLong and Strong — the Mops and Moes training program on TrainHeroic → https://marketplace.trainheroic.com/workout-plan/team/leg-tuck-nation?attrib=565490-podViews expressed are those of the speakers and do not represent any official organization.

Last year he sold and installed $1,011,000 in electrical — out of one van. Mike Howie is a service technician at Travis Electrical Service in Clarksville, Tennessee. He does the selling and splits the installs 50-50. He did $612,000 one year and $1,011,000 the next — two years into residential service, in a middle-America market. He had about ten years in electrical first: an industrial apprenticeship, then a service shop that, in his words, “threw you out in the wind.” A three-week job became seven unpaid weeks in Texas and Oregon. He nearly lost the house, his wife's car was impounded, and he lost his mom in the middle of it. He found Travis on Indeed, emailed the owner's wife from Oregon, and she kept telling him one thing: “Just get home.” Then six months of ride-alongs and CertainPath training before anyone handed him a van. What changed between $612,000 and $1,011,000 was operational as much as personal. Travis added installers halfway through the year, anything over $1,000 started handing off, and Mike got into more houses. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, line by line. In this conversation, you'll discover: • Why adding an install team took him from $612,000 to $1,011,000 • The six-month onboarding most owners skip — and what that patience actually bought • Why he never finishes the troubleshoot, and the one question he asks instead • The chain-link analogy that makes a backstabbed outlet obvious to a homeowner • How he positions financing before the sticker shock lands • “First person that talks loses” — and the fifteen minutes he sat in total silence Whether you run an electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or roofing company, Mike's process shows how one well-trained technician turns ordinary service calls into a million dollars a year. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Most health experts who take insurance have been told the same thing. If you want to make real money, drop insurance and start selling high-ticket cash pay programs. I like a good cash pay program. I also think that advice gets applied to practices where it makes very little sense. This episode is a real coaching conversation with my client Angelina, who owns an established, heavily insurance-based dietitian practice in Ohio. She has clients, she gets referrals from gastroenterology groups, and her reimbursement rates are solid. The most important question for her business was never whether to blow up a working model. It was how to make that model more profitable, more differentiated, and less dependent on adding sessions to her calendar. We build a hybrid offer in real time, where insurance covers the clinical sessions and the client pays separately for the testing, messaging access, and resources insurance was never going to cover. We get into pricing, continuity, boundaries around access, and how to position a practice so the big insurance-based platforms stop being competitors at all. If the only two options you've been given are more 1:1 sessions or stop taking insurance, this conversation gives you a third option that's got serious potential. Timeline Highlights [00:00] – Why "stop taking insurance" is the wrong first move for an established practice [08:16] – Angelina's setup: buying a twenty-year-old insurance-based practice in Ohio [12:57] – How a hybrid offer works and what the cash portion actually pays for [15:51] – Competing with Nourish, Fay, and BerryStreet without competing on price [20:44] – Naming the specific result: healing IBS and IBD instead of managing symptoms [29:08] – Building a low-ticket continuity offer so clients don't disappear at month four [33:10] – What belongs on the cash-pay side: testing, meal plans, supplements, portal resources [37:40] – Pricing the hybrid when insurance already covers part of the total [42:44] – Why graduating every client costs you revenue and costs them results [48:40] – Setting messaging boundaries before you need them [55:45] – SEO, GEO, and Google reviews for a practice built on local referrals [1:04:41] – Doubling income without adding a single session Top Quotes from the Episode "You can't out-price a company with venture funding and insurance leverage. The move is to build something they aren't even offering." "Nobody stands in a parking lot deciding between McDonald's and a good gourmet burger. Those aren't the same product, and your practice shouldn't be the same product as a platform handing out free sessions." "Insurance teaches people to buy an hour of your time. A signature offer teaches them to buy a result." "The cash portion of a hybrid offer covers everything insurance was never going to pay for, which is usually the part that creates the outcome." "Not everyone wants to be graduated. I've worked with the same trainer for eleven years because I like having the help, and your clients are no different." "People overstuff their deliverables and then spend years on the hook for all of it. The better question is what's the least amount of support someone needs to get what they came for." "Set the boundary before you need it. Renegotiating access after someone has already crossed the line is a much harder conversation." "This model lets you earn twice as much from the same number of sessions, or keep the income steady and cut your session load in half."

Two days after he sued, a federal grand jury indicted him. He never got the gold back. Hans opens with an update on Brian, who may be home temporarily in September or October but likely stays on active duty orders, then turns to the Treasury's announcement that it is doubling its long end buyback operations from two billion to four billion. The dollar figure is a rounding error against forty trillion in debt. The signal is not, and it is the same move Scott Bessent spent the last two years criticizing Janet Yellen for making.Chapters 00:00 – Opening segment 02:20 – No end in sight and why nobody negotiates with America anymore 06:35 – Reading the macro tape without becoming a permabear 07:55 – The Treasury doubles its long end buybacks 09:15 – The economic equivalent of no new foreign wars 11:50 – Where Hans actually sits on the political spectrum13:10 – Two billion to four billion: the substance of the move 14:05 – Bills, notes, and bonds, and why the distinction matters here 16:35 – Off-the-run long bonds and a disorderly long end 17:35 – What they are buying and what is paying for it 19:00 – One leg of QE, not the money printing leg 20:15 – Yellen's trillion dollar mistake and the two percent mortgage analogy 22:40 – Bessent criticized this exact move, then made it 23:55 – Yield curve control and how far away it actually is 24:25 – Intervening into a record high market with no visible fever 26:00 – The debasement trade and the stock market as pressure release valve 28:30 – The yen intervention and why Japan matters 29:15 – The repo facility and keeping Treasuries out of foreign hands 32:20 – What all three moves have in common 33:30 – Hormuz closed, oil creeping, and an empty petroleum reserve 36:45 – Japan as the roadmap for where this road ends 37:50 – Homeschooling, wristbands, and the safe and inclusive playground 43:35 – Frederick Barber Campbell walks into Chase National Bank 46:05 – The lawsuit, the indictment, and the demurrer 49:50 – When a dollar was a bearer claim on gold 51:55 – Benjamin Strong, the Bank of England, and the boom that had to bust 53:10 – How the Fed was sold to America in 1913 55:50 – Nine thousand banks fail and the money supply drops a third 58:50 – The Fed as an instrument of extraction 01:00:35 – Where America sits in the line, and the prison hierarchy analogy 01:03:50 – Hamilton, specie, and the principle of productive credit 01:06:05 – The bank holiday and the Emergency Banking Act 01:07:45 – Five words added to the Trading with the Enemy Act 01:10:20 – Executive Order 6102 defines hoarding as owning 01:16:20 – The markup from twenty dollars to thirty-five 01:17:35 – The Gold Reserve Act and the Exchange Stabilization Fund 01:18:35 – Marriner Eccles and the fight over the lever of power 01:21:25 – Carter Glass fights the bill he made possible 01:22:30 – The FOMC is created and open market operations take over 01:24:45 – Killing the regional discount rate and the governor it provided 01:27:30 – Half a Keynesian equation with no brakes on the other sideKey TakeawaysThe size of the buyback is not the story.

On this week’s Financial Hour, Tom Dupree, Mike Johnson, and Michael Dawahare broke down why that number matters, what the U.S. Treasury Department is doing about it, and — more importantly — what it means for anyone who’s retired or approaching retirement and living off a portfolio. The team walked through Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s decision to expand the government’s bond buyback program, why the Treasury is repurchasing old, low-coupon “off-the-run” bonds, and what Bessent meant when he said he has “asymmetric information” the market doesn’t. Mike Johnson explained the mechanics in plain terms: the Treasury doesn’t hold these bonds on its balance sheet the way the Fed does — it swaps them out and reissues shorter-term debt, which theoretically frees up the plumbing in the bond market without actually solving the underlying supply-and-demand problem driving yields higher in the first place. The U.S. Treasury’s own announcement confirms the buyback size is at least doubling, from a $2 billion to a $4 billion per-operation ceiling, effective September 9, 2026 — exactly the increase Tom, Mike, and Michael were reacting to on air. From there, the conversation turned to what’s actually happening underneath the surface of the stock market. Economist Ed Yardeni’s “K-shaped economy” — where some parts of the economy do well and others fall behind — is evolving into what he now calls a “G-shaped economy,” with earnings-driven strength showing up in previously out-of-favor sectors. Coca-Cola hitting an all-time high the same week Walmart’s stock dropped roughly 10% on strong-but-complicated earnings was Exhibit A. Tom and the team also discussed two specific holdings in DFG client portfolios — a commercial real estate mortgage REIT and Verizon — and why research-driven, patient investing in “forgotten” sectors has been paying off for income-focused clients this year. On the mortgage REIT position, the team went deeper than “buy the dip.” The company — sponsored by a large institutional manager with global real estate data and research reach — makes commercial real estate loans, historically concentrated in office properties. When one or two of those loans showed early warning signs, the company increased its loan-loss reserves, which shows up on paper like a write-down even though the loan stays on the books and no cash has actually been lost. The stock sold off on the news. Tom and Mike explained why they added to the position instead of walking away: this management team was conservative during the “nuclear winter” for office real estate a few years ago, has since been letting legacy office loans run off, and is redeploying that capital into multifamily, healthcare, and industrial loans — property types with materially better performance right now. Because these are shorter-duration loans, the portfolio’s characteristics can shift relatively quickly as old loans mature and new ones get written. That combination — a real dividend yield in the double digits today, a management team with a track record of conservative accounting, and a portfolio actively repositioning into stronger property types — is why DFG treated the sell-off as a buying opportunity for income-focused clients rather than a reason to sell. Verizon came up for a different reason: SpaceX’s Starlink satellite service and the ongoing question of whether it can realistically compete in the cellphone business. Mike and Tom were skeptical, pointing to a CNBC analyst’s explanation that a satellite-based “cell tower” sits roughly 220 miles away compared to the two or three miles most people are used to today — a gap that raises real questions about latency and practicality for everyday phone calls, whatever the marketing promises. What both hosts agreed on is that the more durable asset is compute capacity: Starlink’s parent currently leases out some of that capacity, with the option to use more of it for its own future needs, not unlike how Amazon Web Services has become a larger and more important piece of Amazon’s business than its original retail operation. The team also used Walmart’s earnings reaction as a pulse check on the broader consumer. Despite what management called one of its healthiest quarters, the stock dropped roughly 10% the day of the release — driven largely by new government pricing rules on pharmaceuticals that took effect in the second quarter, layered on top of a business that’s now roughly half grocery. Because the market had to digest several moving pieces at once, short-term traders reacted to the complexity rather than the underlying strength Walmart itself described on the call. On the broader consumer picture, Mike Johnson noted wage growth is positive for the first time in a while, and inflation and affordability on goods have ticked slightly better — partly offset by a 20–30% rise in gas prices over the past month. The team also flagged a rollback of tariffs on beef imports from South American trading partners, aimed at easing supply after herd sizes shrank in recent years — welcome relief on one grocery bill line item, even as lower-income households continue to feel the most pressure on housing, auto, insurance, and everyday food costs. Tom also used part of the hour to deliver a message he called maybe the most important thing he’d say all year: it’s not how much your portfolio earns on average — it’s when the losses happen. “Here’s something most people approaching retirement have never heard, and it could be the most important thing I say. It’s not how much your portfolio earns, it’s when it loses.” If your retirement account drops 10% in year one and you’re already pulling money out to live on, you’re drawing from a smaller pool going forward. Do it again in year two, and — as Tom put it — “you may never recover. Even if the market bounces back, the damage is already done.” Wall Street tends to talk in long-term averages, but as Tom noted, “averages don’t pay your electric bill in a down market.” That’s the whole case for building retirement income around dividends rather than around hoping the market cooperates on your withdrawal schedule. FINRA’s own guidance on managing a retirement portfolio makes the same point: your time horizon shrinks once withdrawals begin, so reassessing how much investment risk you’re carrying — and where your income is actually coming from — matters more with each passing year of retirement. Topics Covered The 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.3%+ this week, its highest level since 2007 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s expanded bond buyback program and what “asymmetric information” means for markets Why the Treasury is repurchasing old, low-coupon “off-the-run” bonds instead of holding them like the Fed does Sequence of returns risk: why the timing of a loss matters more than your portfolio’s long-term average return Ed Yardeni’s “K-shaped economy” evolving into a “G-shaped economy” — and what that means for stock picking Coca-Cola’s all-time high vs. Walmart’s post-earnings stock drop, and what each says about the consumer Adding to a commercial real estate mortgage REIT position on a pullback — the research behind the decision [COMPLIANCE REVIEW: episode cites a specific dividend yield figure for a named DFG portfolio holding] Verizon, satellite phone service, and questions about whether Starlink can really replace cell towers Wage growth, tariff-driven beef price relief, and the uneven affordability picture for lower-income consumers Key Takeaways Timing beats averages once you’re retired and withdrawing income. A 10% drop in year one of retirement, combined with withdrawals, shrinks the pool you have left to recover with. Tom’s point: “averages don’t pay your electric bill in a down market.” The Treasury’s bond buyback is a Band-Aid, not a fix. Doubling the buyback to $4 billion per operation sounds significant, but against roughly $40 trillion in outstanding debt, it’s a small lever. It briefly pushed yields down, but the market has largely looked through it. A steepening yield curve isn’t automatically a warning sign. The curve normalized after years of inversion — but it’s steepening because the long end is rising, not because short rates are falling, which is a distinction worth understanding rather than reacting to. Fundamental research pays off when a market broadens out. With mega-cap “Mag Seven” performance uneven this year, previously out-of-favor companies and sectors — Ed Yardeni’s “forgotten” names — are earning higher multiples on real earnings growth, not hype. Pullbacks driven by loan-loss accounting, not fundamentals, can be buying opportunities. DFG added to a commercial real estate mortgage REIT position after a stock drop tied to conservative loss reserves — a decision built on management’s track record, not on trying to time a bounce. The consumer picture is genuinely mixed. Wage growth is up for the first time in a while, and tariff relief on beef imports is easing some grocery costs — but affordability on housing, insurance, and everyday goods remains a real strain for lower-income households. Frequently Asked Questions What is sequence of returns risk, and why does it matter for retirees? Sequence of returns risk is the danger that market losses early in retirement — combined with ongoing withdrawals — can permanently shrink a portfolio, even if long-term average returns look fine. A downturn in year one or two, while you’re pulling income out, leaves less money available to participate in any later recovery. Why did the 30-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since 2007? The 30-year Treasury yield crossed 5.3% in August 2026, its highest level since 2007, driven by heavy government borrowing, persistent inflation above the Fed’s target, and continued Treasury debt issuance. It marks a shift after years of historically low long-term rates following the 2008 financial crisis. What is the Treasury doing about rising long-term bond yields? In August 2026, the U.S. Treasury announced it would at least double its bond buyback program, from a $2 billion to a $4 billion per-operation ceiling starting September 9. The program repurchases older, low-coupon bonds and reissues shorter-term debt to help ease pressure in the long-bond market. What is a “K-shaped” or “G-shaped” economy? Economist Ed Yardeni’s “K-shaped economy” describes an economy where some sectors and income groups do well while others fall behind. He now calls it a “G-shaped economy” as earnings growth broadens into previously overlooked sectors, showing up in stock performance beyond the small group of mega-cap tech names. How does Dupree Financial Group approach investing during periods of market volatility?

Neither had roofed a day in their lives — then they bought a roofing company and doubled it. Tim Wilde and his wife Sasha bought Sexton Roofing & Siding in Western Massachusetts in 2023 — a 40-year-old brand the previous owner ran solo at about $2 million a year, working 16-hour days, seven days a week. Neither of them had ever roofed: Tim came out of corporate pharmaceutical-construction consulting, and Sasha has an MBA and always wanted to run a business. When a corporate takeover pushed Tim out, and a friend showed them you could simply buy a business, they did. The first year nearly broke them. They priced with “a finger in the air,” had no idea what a good margin was, and kept winning on low bids. Then they found CertainPath — Tim signed up at a Profit Day on the spot — and the turnaround began: fixing their pricing first, then rebuilding sales around an in-home, one-call-close process. Two years in, they've doubled the business past $4 million, they're targeting $6.5 million, and Tim personally sold $2 million to become a CertainPath roofing crown champion. And it's 100% woman-owned — Sasha owns it outright, and Tim jokes he's “just cheap labor.” In this conversation, you'll discover: How two people with zero trade experience bought a 40-year-old roofing company off a broker Why the acquisition was tougher than they expected — and what they'd do differently The “finger in the air” pricing mistake CertainPath fixed first How moving to an in-home presentation unlocked one-call closes Why being the most thorough person at the door — the one who actually goes in the attic — wins the job The CertainPath training moment that took Tim from “doing sales completely wrong” to a crown champion How they think about growth: taking “a smaller piece of a larger pie” Whether you run a roofing, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical company, Tim and Sasha's story shows how to buy a business, raise your prices, and build a sales process that actually closes. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Every remodeling and custom home building owner says the same thing: "I want to double my business." In this episode of Builder Funnel Radio, we break down the two paths to get there: Path A (more volume: more marketing, more sales, more projects at the same size) and Path B (bigger projects: new positioning, new sales process, and a more premium clientele). We cover the tipping points that signal you need to hire, why repositioning has to come first if you want bigger projects, and why the path you choose now shapes what your business looks like for years to come.

(Riverton, WY) – Own your mistakes. Take accountability for yourself. When you have success, share it with others. And fly fish as much as you can. Those were the common themes delivered by former National Football League quarterback Kyle Orton Monday night as he spoke with the Riverton High School football team at the RHS Auditorium. Orton is no stranger to Fremont County. The Iowa-native told County 10 if he could fly fish anywhere in the world, he’d be right here. Kyle has been hitting the water here for the last few days. The exact location he chose not to disclose… we mentioned he’s a true fisherman after all. He accepted an invitation to meet and speak with the RHS student-athletes after a day tracking trout. During a 30 minute pre-practice session he took time to answer questions and sign several autographs. His football journey began in Iowa, which led to Indiana for college, becoming a Purdue Boilermaker. Purdue’s Head Coach at the time was a legend in the Cowboy State, Joe Tiller. After four years under Tiller, Kyle was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2005. Eventually, he’d play three seasons with the Denver Broncos, a year with the Kansas City Chiefs, two with the Dallas Cowboys and finished his career in 2014 a Buffalo Bill. Since retiring, he’s remained active in football as a high school coach for his Iowa alma mater. Kyle Orton with Riverton High School football coaches Photo: Jerrad Anderson During the Q&A Monday night, we learned Orton’s favorite wide receiver was Broncos and Bears legend Brandon Marshall. His favorite leader to play with was Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher. His favorite piece of advice is to find other people that work hard at the same things you do and push each other. Perhaps most interestingly though, he was presented with the question, “if you could go back in time and play one more game at any level, where would you go?” Orton thought for a second, skipped being an NFL celebrity or a college football success and said, “honestly I’d go back to high school and play with my friends.” Doubling down with, “there’s just something special about playing with your buddies.” Kyle summed up the session by telling the Wolverines to take practice one day at a time, “try to win each day. Practice hard. Like really fricking hard.” County 10 caught up with Orton for a quick chat after his time with the students, you can hear that interview in the player below or by searching for the County 10 Sports Podcast on all major podcast platforms. Riverton football begins their season August 28th at Powell. Every Wolverine game all season can be seen on the County 10 YouTube channel or find our radio broadcasts on 105.1 JACK-FM!

Next week, we're heading back into the world of Lethal Weapon 4 — but this week, we're joined by one of Hollywood's most accomplished stuntwomen and stunt doubles, Lisa Hoyle!Lisa has spent more than 35 years performing the dangerous, demanding, and often completely invisible work that makes movie magic possible. From circus performer to professional stuntwoman, Lisa's career includes doubling some of Hollywood's biggest stars and performing some truly insane high-risk stunts.We get into everything, including:

Dr. Joe Dituri, also known as Dr. Deep Sea, spent 100 straight days living underwater and walked away with lower cholesterol, longer telomeres, and twice the stem cells, so I had to get him on to break down what hyperbaric oxygen actually does. In this episode, we cover why a focused 20-day protocol might move your health-span more than any supplement stack, how his deep and REM sleep nearly doubled, and the safety rules almost no home-chamber owner knows. It genuinely shifted how I run my own chambers, and it'll shift how you think about oxygen, pressure, and aging, too.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARY'S VIP!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Get Dr. Deep Sea's book, “Secrets in Depth”: https://bit.ly/4q8tNat Connect with Dr. Deep Sea Website: https://bit.ly/45IaXxs   YouTube: https://bit.ly/45wPsjj   Instagram: https://bit.ly/4fKDnNk  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4q2E7AB   X: https://bit.ly/4wKQmEy   LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4bwsvQz   Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKpCYMBIOTIKA: "BRECKACYM30" FOR 30% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC H2TAB: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn SNOOZE: LET'S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8foX: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps 00:00 - ​Intro of Show 01:52 - The 100-day underwater world record 02:13 - Cholesterol, stem cell, and telomere results 02:50 - From Navy diver to hyperbaric medicine 05:35 - The largest TBI study ever run 06:34 - The 13 mechanisms of action 08:58 - Why pressure and dose matter 11:03 - The $101 million X Prize 13:24 - The hyperoxic-hypoxic chamber 16:16 - Doubling stem cells in five days 24:06 - Why more is never better 26:18 - Deep and REM sleep underwater 32:18 - Intermittent hypoxia and mitochondria 42:54 - Altitude and legal blood doping 47:43 - A 100-year safety record 52:44 - His stroke and the road back 01:06:48 - Oxygen, sugar, and cancer research 01:14:10 - Stacking sauna, ice, and red light 01:16:57 - The sauna-before-bed sleep hack 01:20:30 - What it means to be an ultimate human Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

What if the fastest path to a six- or multi-6-figure expert business is refining what you already have, instead of adding more to it? In this episode, I'm walking you through a real case study from one of my three-hour strategic intensives with a registered dietitian who works with chronic skin conditions. She's excellent at what she does, with the client results to prove it, and her best month ever was still $7,000, with plenty of unpredictable months in between. I'm sharing the exact changes we made in that single session: why we doubled her price from $2,197 to $4,500, how we rebuilt her six-month program into a nine-month offer designed around the actual result, the friction problem that was quietly killing her sales conversations, and the marketing plan we built without a single Instagram post in it. If your income swings between great months and crickets, or you've quietly started backing off your marketing because it doesn't seem to be working anyway, this episode will show you how simple the fix can be. Timeline Highlights [02:49] – Meet the client: a highly skilled dietitian whose best revenue month was $7,000, and why that number made sense [05:28] – The inquiry ghosting cycle, and how it quietly convinces expert women to stop marketing altogether [08:09] – Running the math out loud: why her $2,197 program made her 10K goal impossible before marketing even started [11:18] – The trap of setting your prices by looking at what your peers charge [12:54] – The luxury experience myth, my $1,200 laser treatment story, and why people pay for outcomes [18:31] – Moving the program from six months to nine, because that's when her clients get the full result [20:42] – Finding the three-phase framework that was hiding inside her existing client process [26:21] – Doubling the price to $4,500, and the confidence check I run before any client raises a price [29:30] – The sales process teardown: a $55 mystery consult, no visible pricing, and a friction problem disguised as a demand problem [36:50] – Rebuilding her website around conditions instead of programs, and the difference between showing and telling [41:00] – Building a marketing plan with zero social media: discovery, depth, and increasing your surface area of luck [47:26] – Why the fast stuff comes first, and the deadline we pulled a full month closer Top Quotes from the Episode "People pay for outcomes. Everything you put into your program is there to make the outcome more likely for the right person." "You can't hit a goal that isn't compatible with your numbers. It doesn't matter how well the plan works if the math was never going to get you there." "Selling is leading somebody to what they already want. You share the process, the timeline, and the honest truth of what it takes, and you let them decide." "She thought she had a demand problem. What she actually had was a friction problem." "You're allowed to have standards. Protecting your calendar from people who aren't a fit is respectful to them and to you." "The online world has convinced experts that social media is the price of having a business. It's one tool, and if you hate it, pick a different one." "For an established expert, the fastest way to more revenue is usually subtraction: cutting and refining what already exists until it's the straightest path to the goal."

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast host Troy Trewin interviews Thais Saenz, founder of Saenz Global, shares how she built a multiple seven-figure business by specializing in operations for roofing companies. She explains how her company helped a long-term client grow from $3 million to more than $80 million in annual sales. Thais discusses the importance of niching down, building lean teams, embracing technology, and creating systems that support sustainable growth. She also shares lessons on leadership, culture, hiring the right people, and recognizing when team members are no longer the right fit. Most importantly, Thais reveals how personal growth, continuous learning, and taking ownership of problems have been the biggest drivers of her business success. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Thais Saenz shares that the hardest thing in growing a small business is yourself, explaining that entrepreneurs must move beyond a victim mentality, take ownership of problems, improve their communication, and ensure the right people are in the right roles. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Thais Saenz says her favorite business book is *How to Win Friends and Influence People* by Dale Carnegie. She describes it as her "original gangster" business book, sharing that she has listened to it repeatedly from her early twenties through her late thirties because its lessons on relationships, communication, and influence remain highly relevant and practical today. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Thais Saenz recommends podcasts as a valuable resource for small business growth, particularly *How I Built This* from NPR, which helped her while building her business by showing her that even successful entrepreneurs face challenges and problems. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Thais Saenz recommends having strong systems in place to grow a small business, particularly using ClickUp to create transparency and keep the team organized. She also advises hiring an expert to properly set up the system if needed, sharing that she wishes she had implemented it much earlier in her business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Thais Saenz advises her day-one self to focus more on profit rather than trying to make everyone feel blessed and taken care of. She says she would have built a leaner business, been more disciplined with raises and expenses, and prioritized taking home profit instead of working extremely hard without paying herself.

The  stunt woman, Devyn Dalton, who stands in for Matt Damon in The Odyssey. 

What happens when language access moves from a compliance checkbox to a strategic priority? In part one of this two-part Elevate Care series, host Christin Stanford talks with Suzanne (Sue) Smith, System Director of Patient Experience at Main Line Health, about the evolving role of language services across a five-hospital system outside Philadelphia. Sue walks through how her team reframed language access from a cost center function into an essential clinical tool, one that belongs alongside staff, medicine, and equipment as a core part of care delivery. She shares how Main Line Health doubled its device deployment, the operational and financial ripple effects that followed, and why quality, safety, and patient experience function as a three-legged stool that only stands when every leg holds. The conversation also covers the human side of the equation: reduced staff burnout, stronger trust with patients who use American Sign Language, and fewer patients leaving without being seen. Sue makes the case that language access is not a cost center. It is a bridge for building relationships, supporting staff, and driving the kind of connected care that keeps patients coming back. Key Takeaways Language access works best when it is treated as an essential care tool, not a call-center service or a line-item expense. Doubling device availability at Main Line Health improved communication volume and clarity, while easing pressure on nursing and support staff. Quality, safety, and patient experience depend on each other. When one falls, the whole structure falls. Reliable interpretation reduces reliance on untrained family members or staff, protecting both accuracy and patient trust.

Alfred Hitchcock's 1943 film, Shadow of a Doubt (1943), sets a murder story inside what seems the safest place imaginable: an ordinary American family in an ordinary American town. But as suspicion gathers around Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotton), the film slowly exposes something more unsettling than a single killer on the run. It reveals how charm, respectability, and social status can insulate wrongdoing from scrutiny — and how communities prefer comforting narratives to disruptive truths. The police investigate, but they move hesitantly; the town remains confident in its own innocence. The real drama unfolds not in the courtroom, but at the dinner table. The film explores law's capacity — and its limits. How does misogyny operate not just as motive but as ideology? What happens when loyalty to family collides with loyalty to justice? And in a film released at the height of World War II, is Hitchcock warning that the most dangerous threats to democracy are not always foreign invaders, but may also be charismatic figures embedded within everyday life?Timestamps:0:00     Introduction2:13     Teaching law students through film5:54     Shadow of a Doubt and law's inadequacies11:11   The film's setting and Santa Rosa, CA14:54   Imagining the perfect crime21:21   Misogyny in Shadow of a Doubt27:48   Playing with crime genres and narrative structures 32:58   Hitchcock's cameo35:16   Doubling and other filmic techniques48:19   Complicity in covering up the evil51:11   A critique of wartime idealism and the narrative of the enemy within56:17   Questioning American institutionsFurther reading:Eggert, Brian, Shadow of a Doubt, Deep Focus Review (Mar. 2, 2013) Hughes, Rowland, “Shadows and Doubts: Hitchcock, Genre, and Villainy,” in The Devil Himself: Villainy in Detective Fiction and Film (Stacy Gillis & Philippa Gates eds. 2001)Modleski, Tania, The Women Who Knew Too Much (1988)Scovell, Adam, “Why the sinister Shadow of a Doubt was Hitchcock's Favourite,” The Telegraph (Feb. 7, 2023)Truffaut, Francois, Hitchcock (Simon & Schuster, 1985)Wood, Robin, Hitchcock's Films Revisited (2002)Law on Film is created and produced by Jonathan Hafetz.

Now he sells $10 million of HVAC a year — and he never pressures a homeowner to do it. Caleb Holte is a comfort advisor at Fix-It 24/7 in Denver, and a two-time Crown Champion who has sold roughly $10 million of residential HVAC. But he didn't come up through the trades. He came from AT&T and Verizon sales, a cutthroat stint in finance, even bodybuilding — and most recently medical device sales, where dinners with surgeons felt fake and “performative.” So he traded it all for the blue truck. His start was brutal. His GM handed him a truck, some keys, and told him to “go fail forward.” He went 0-for-5 on his first drive and figured he was about to get fired. What turned it around wasn't pressure — it was a journal: after every call he wrote down three things that went well and three that didn't, until the patterns became second nature. Across this conversation with host Bob Houchin, Caleb breaks down his entire in-home process — positioning himself as a “field supervisor” instead of a “comfort advisor,” price conditioning and extreme anchoring (including the $45,000 system he shows every customer and refuses to sell), reading body language down to where a customer points their feet, getting objections out early, and the quiet discipline of “he who talks first loses.” He also gets honest about the part most salespeople skip — the heart behind it. Caleb prays in the truck before a call, treats every grandmother and single mom like his own family, and lives by a simple belief: anybody can close anybody. It's just whether or not you're the right guy. In this conversation, you'll discover: Why he positions himself as a “field supervisor,” never a “comfort advisor” The extreme-anchoring move: the $45,000 system he shows every customer and won't sell How to get customers to sell themselves instead of pitching them What a customer's feet — and a woman's hands — tell you about the sale “Easy pay,” not “financing”: the language that lowers the guard Why “he who talks first loses” after you slide over the price The journaling habit that took him from 0-for-5 to $10 million Whether you sell HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or roofing, Caleb's process shows how to close big without pressure — and keep your character intact. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.
