We want to put as many shots up as possible, but we want to have calculated shots. We want to take them with low budgets… I'll make a bet and I'll start it very cheaply.” — Chris Cunningham“The only way it's really going to scale is if I brought in an expert... I took a bet that all companies would have content creators if they wanted to compete. They'll have some kind of creator that creates content for them consistently.” — Chris Cunningham“Content's just another task, right? Like anyone can make excuses. So if you're just not making content, it means you don't prioritize it. We prioritize it.” — Chris Cunningham“The dividends content rewards with is nuts. The amount of people I've met, the people who DM me and just what I'm learning… There's no reason not to make content.” — Chris Cunningham“If I had to start over and I'm at a new company—we're building in public... No actors, just talking about what we're working on. At the end of the day, I would just ask for like 5-10 minutes of all the early employees: what did you do today? And find a cool, clever way to chop it up. That's exactly what I would do.” — Chris Cunningham“You need to know your ICP. If you're creating content and you don't know who you're creating for, you really just lost the whole goal right there.” — Chris CunninghamShow notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicChris Cunningham - Head of Social Marketing at ClickUp

Scot Bertram discusses news and headlines

“You either crush it and they don't need you anymore, run out of leads, or just don't get the results.

But behind the early wins was a model that couldn't hold. Highlights include: Cold Email: NOT a Long-term Sustainable Business Model (03:10), Doubling Down on HubSpot (08:18), Keeping the Lights On (12:08), And more… Stay updated with our podcast and the latest insights in Outbound Sales and Go-to-Market Strategies!

A football legend avoids the one question everyone's asking. A Hollywood power couple frames advocacy through a lens that feels just a little too curated. And a trusted draft analyst unravels on-air when his favorite prospect freefalls. This episode covers three high-profile figures—Bill Belichick, Blake Lively, and Mel Kiper Jr.—each caught in a reputational storm of their own making.The instinct to protect ego is understandable—but it's also where most people go wrong. When public figures refuse to adapt or acknowledge the obvious, they don't protect their image—they invite scrutiny. Whether it's personal relationships, unresolved legal issues, or professional misfires, the damage isn't just in the mistake. It's in pretending the mistake doesn't exist.Silence isn't strategy—it's speculation fuelDoubling down rarely works when credibility's at stakeThe Streisand Effect is still undefeatedWant More Behind the Breakdown?

Wesley turned a simple AI headshot generator into a $10M ARR, profitable company—in just two years.He was fired from his job, broke in San Francisco, and, after getting rejected by 30 VCs, down to his last few thousand bucks. But Wesley saw a moment: generative AI was taking off, and no one was tackling AI headshots. Fast-forward two years, and he's doing $10M in revenue, profitable, with just 10 employees. He shares every bold tactic—bundling random AI packs, hacking Google rankings, landing affiliates, and manually doing customer support until there was no time left. Wes shares insights that every founder should know, including how he navigated intense competition, handled burnout, and maintained growth without a sales team.

Thursday – We get the latest on the FSU shooting. We also talk women staying single, going to church as kids and where to find great fried chicken. Date Night Guide with Dani Meyering with date night ideas for Easter weekend including free music and art at the Morse Museum, a cookie decorating class at Ivanhoe Park Lager House, painting in Winter Park, the Lion King returns to Dr. Phillips and more. Plus, JCS News, JCS Trivia & You Heard it Here First.

Whether you're just getting started or dreaming of your next big milestone, this conversation will encourage you, motivate you, and inspire you . We talk about how they built momentum, what they focused on (and what they let go of), and the mindset shifts that helped them scale without losing their sanity. Kristy launched Kristy's Craft Room in 2019 by simply doing what she loved — crafting and building community. She hosted in-person craft nights that quickly moved online just before the pandemic hit. When everyone was suddenly at home in spring 2020, Kristy's classes exploded. At first, she wasn't selling anything. Her audience had to convince her to start offering craft kits — and when she did, they sold like crazy. After hearing me speak at an event, she realized she could turn this into something sustainable… and launched her subscription box. In 2024, Kristy faced some real-life challenges — aging parents, kids leaving home, and a business that had started to take over her time. Instead of pushing harder, she pulled back. She paused one-off product launches and went deeper with her subscribers. She offered behind-the-scenes content, created FOMO with unboxing videos, and focused on nurturing her core community. And guess what? She still hit $1 million — and had more time to spend with the people she loves most. Stacey's story starts even earlier — she began painting custom furniture in 2013. By 2017, she pivoted online, going LIVE with decorating tips and DIYs, and her audience grew quickly. She launched her subscription in 2018 with just 20 subscribers. Today, 1,100+ members strong, her community is one of the most loyal I've ever seen. But in 2024, Stacey hit a wall with growth. Getting new subscribers was tough. So instead of spending her time and energy chasing new subscribers, she focused on the people who already loved her. She gave them exclusives, launched new offers just for them, and stopped trying to do all the things. She focused on growing her main thing — and it worked. What I love most is that both Stacey and Kristy set this goal in 2023… and missed it. But they didn't give up. They came back in 2024 — a year full of challenges for both of them — and hit that milestone by staying focused and trusting the process. This episode is full of those kinds of reminders — that you don't have to do everything. That your subscribers are your most important customers. That leaning into what's working beats chasing everything else. Let this episode be your inspiration. You can build a million-dollar business from home. You can scale without burning out. You can do it with focus, community, and a little courage to stay the course. These two amazing women are proof. And I couldn't be more proud of them. Whether you're just getting started or dreaming of your next big milestone, this conversation will light a fire under you.  Grab your earbuds and come join us.

Something I've done for years and just recently pinpointed is that I am all about playing the long game with my patients. In my mind, this is not a one and done event - I am planting seeds for years down the road!

Gary discusses more recent craziness coming from politicians and celebrities about transgenderism and sports. Proving that they are completely out of touch with the vast majority of Americans, these people are saying downright crazy stuff... and then repeating it. It's no longer forgivable as "political" speech; it is just pure insanity.

Continuing to explore the nature of sacred self care as we change and choose to deepen into embodying more of ourselves. This episode is an invitation to focus on the question - What are you making real? It's a fine tuning of what we are experiencing and navigating right now in the outside world.  We have been socialized to forget that we do have a choice, even though the reflection from “outside” us often makes us think we are powerless to choose. We are becoming more and more aware that there are many things we have not knowingly consented to, and that we can choose differently, and choose more in alignment with who we truly are.  Division has been a continued distraction from our divinity. This knowing leads us to ask ourselves; What choices can we make to make real the world we know we are here to seed into being? How can we make pure love real? How can we choose in each moment to make real what each of us inner-stands we are free to create? How can we discern what our action or non-action is in each moment? We are on the precipice of great change and it is ours to make real in alignment with our heart's knowing. We can choose to pay attention to our own knowing at an ever deepening level, and we can choose to leave behind the “flavours” of what is anathema to our true sacred nature.  Beloved, you are here to carry the wonder of you, and that is enough.  ~ Link to our show page at; https://www.artthatmoves.ca/podcasts/

Tom welcomes back Robert Sinn to share his background in precious metals, junior mining, and biotech investing. Robert emphasizes the attractiveness of gold mining equities due to their underappreciated nature and the potential for significant returns. He highlights that the sector is less competitive compared to mainstream stocks like Apple or Microsoft, offering investors an edge through lower competition and fewer institutional players. Sinn structures his portfolio by considering market capitalization and volatility, allocating smaller percentages to high-risk junior miners (e.g., 2-3%) and larger allocations to more stable major miners (e.g., 10%). He prioritizes risk management, focusing on potential losses before profit opportunities. He also advises against holding overly concentrated positions in volatile stocks, suggesting that investors should cap their exposure based on market feedback. He touches on the macroeconomic backdrop, particularly the secular bull market for gold driven by central banks' increased demand, especially from China and India. Sinn notes that gold's role as a safe-haven asset is becoming more pronounced amid global uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. He also discusses the potential impact of tariffs and trade policies under the current administration on gold prices, suggesting that these factors could further drive demand. Sinn critiques the use of ETFs like GDX to gauge the entire mining sector, arguing that such funds are skewed towards larger companies and may not reflect broader trends. Instead, he advocates for a more nuanced approach, examining individual company performance and pipeline projects. He also touches on the importance of China's gold accumulation, which has significantly influenced global markets, and the potential for a physical short squeeze in gold. While acknowledging the complexity of predicting such events, Sinn believes that gold's role as a hedge against inflation and economic instability will continue to drive its value. Finally, Sinn underscores the need for investors to understand both macroeconomic trends and micro-level company fundamentals, emphasizing the importance of staying informed and adaptable in a rapidly changing market landscape.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes with Jamie O'Banion, the founder and CEO of BeautyBio, a clean skincare and tool brand that leads with transparency and efficacy.Jamie's passion for science came at a young age as she watched her father, a cosmetic chemist, in his lab developing products and eventually joined him after college. Ten years later, having witnessed brands using minimal concentrations of active ingredients to cut costs and make false clinical claims, Jamie knew she had to address this issue in the industry. That's when the idea for BeautyBio was born. The aim was to provide clients with what they were paying for and help them understand the ingredients behind the products.She debuted on HSN that same year and sold out on the first day. Five years later, she launched one of the brand's flagship products, GloPRO, an at-home micro-needling device that generated $4 million in sales within its first 24 hours and has since surpassed the $100 million mark. Fast forward to 2023, BeautyBio is available in over 1,700 stores, including Ulta, Sephora, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and more.In this episode, we'll talk to Jamie about:* The concept of “breadcrumbs” in life and how everything happens for a reason. [03:13]*Growing up with a family of six has influenced the woman Jamie is today. [06:39]*Managing the challenges of motherhood. [15:06]*Jamie's upbringing and what sparked her interest in science. [22:03]*The importance of team and how they've been integral in her journey. [26:42]*Dealing with challenging experiences as an entrepreneur. [29:28]*Co-founding Organicare with her physician father in 2008. [33:09]*Adapting to consumer demand without compromising business ethos. [37:38]*Pivoting from selling ingredients to launching BeautyBio. [43:14]*Future plans for BeautyBio post-acquisition. [49:09]In this week's episode, Jamie guides us through the various "breadcrumbs" of life and how every individual experience she had before launching her business led her to exactly where she is today. We dive into her upbringing as one of six children, how she stumbled into entrepreneurship, why her initial business idea failed, and how she quickly pivoted to what eventually became BeautyBio. We talk about all the challenging experiences in her over ten year journey running the business, how they ended up selling the business last year, and so much more.
