What if the thing that looks like a distraction is actually the move that saves your startup? This episode breaks down why the “stay focused at all costs” advice can be risky when you're still figuring out what actually works. The hosts challenge the myth of the linear startup path, arguing that side quests—small, intentional experiments with capped downside—create learning, reduce single points of failure, and help you earn the right to pivot with evidence instead of vibes.They share how Fundable's early equity crowdfunding push revealed founders were unprepared to raise money, which led to a major side quest: doing diligence on about 100 companies, talking to 200+, and acquiring six venture-backed businesses—work that became the genesis of startups.com. Along the way, they highlight the value of the quest itself (market intel, understanding what not to do, faster learning) and even mention an extreme near-distraction: briefly considering buying Atari.The conversation also reframes common “side quests” like doing services work while building a product, arguing that bringing in revenue to stay alive isn't a distraction—it's the business. They clarify the difference between a side quest (exploration) and a pivot (committing to a new direction), and point to the podcast itself as an example of a side quest that became a major long-term asset after a rough start.What to listen for:00:40 The AI Newsletter Moment That Sparked the Topic01:47 What a “Side Quest” Means for Founders03:45 The Myth of the Linear Startup Path06:34 When Focus Becomes a Liability: Certainty, Ego & Roadmaps10:04 Side Quests as the Ongoing Lab (and Why It Never Ends)12:01 Case Study: Fundable 2012 and the Crowdfunding Gold Rush15:48 The Pivot: Founders Needed Help, Not Just a Platform18:07 Side Quests Done Right: Controlled Experiments (…and Almost Buying Atari)18:42 The Wild Idea: Almost Buying Atari (Nostalgia vs. Distraction)19:48 Why Side Quests Matter: Learning More Than the Outcome20:42 Founder-Forward Deal Talks & Market Intel as a Force Multiplier22:10 Side Quests as “Insurance”: Selling the Learning to Skeptics23:48 The Classic Startup Side Quest: Services to Pay the Bills27:14 Side Quest vs. Pivot: Exploration First, Commitment Later27:52 The Podcast as a Side Quest That Became Core to the Business30:26 Earning the Right to Pivot: Evidence, Courage, and Finding Truth34:20 Closing: De-Risking Through Exploration + Startups.com Community InviteResources:Startup Therapy Podcasthttps://www.startups.com/community/startup-therapyWebsitehttps://www.startups.com/beginLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/startups-co/Join our Network of Top FoundersWil Schroterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wilschroter/Ryan Rutanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-rutan/

The conversation addresses the issue of majoring in the minor and emphasizes the importance of focusing on the basics. It explores the paradox of 1% better, the hierarchy of foundation and optimization, levels of mastery, earning the right to worry about the minor, the compound effect, the basics done well, complexity as a crutch, optimizing the major things, and the importance of masculinity and prioritization.TakeawaysStop majoring in the minorFocus on the basicsChapters00:00 The Issue of Majoring in the Minor05:41 Earning the Right to Worry About the Minor18:49 The Importance of Masculinity and Prioritization

In this episode, I dive deep into the anti-hustle truth about valuing your time and knowledge as a woman in business. I talk about why setting up a ‘Book a Call' page on your site isn't just about making money—it's an energetic shift that breaks the cycle of over-giving and under-earning. You'll hear practical steps for listing out your natural genius, putting a price tag (yes, one that feels uncomfortable), and why just doing this exercise—even if you don't want to take calls—changes everything. I unpack how this simple move challenges the culture of free emotional labor and helps all women see the value in what they know.The less you give away for free, the more room there is for real abundance to show up.

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is Angela Lynn Tucker, the director of an inspiring and informative new documentary called "The Inquisitor," which tells the story of the life and career of Barbara Jordan.   As a young girl growing up in Houston's Fifth Ward, Barbara Jordan was taught to defy expectations. She understood that to succeed, she would need to forge her own path.   With relentless determination and unyielding tenacity, Barbara Jordan made history as Texas's first Black state senator and in 1972 the first Southern Black woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.    At a time when the idea of a Black woman holding power seemed inconceivable, Barbara Jordan created a roadmap for change.   "The Inquisitor" chronicles the life of Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, whose electrifying voice and moral clarity during President Richard Nixon's impeachment captivated the nation. Earning her the moniker “The Inquisitor.”   The film will premiere on 2/23 on PBS as part of the Independent Lens series.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

207. Invisible Divides in the Workplace (with Ivonne Furneaux)   In this episode of The Visibility Factor podcast, Susan's guest is Ivonne Furneaux. She is a keynote speaker, workplace strategist and founder of emPower Up Consulting, where she helps organizations lead through change and close the invisible gaps that undermine trust, engagement and performance. With more than 20 years of experience inside complex, global organizations—including Target, UnitedHealth Group, WeightWatchers, OfficeMax and Anywhere Real Estate—Ivonne has led enterprise communications, employee experience, culture, change and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion during periods of transformation, uncertainty and growth. Grounded in both lived experience and formal training, Ivonne brings a human-centered approach to culture and communication. Using her proprietary “Ghost Gaps” concept and 4I Framework, she equips leaders and employees alike with actionable strategies to build more connected, engaged workplaces and careers. Ivonne Furneaux has a diverse background in corporate communications and DEI. The concept of 'ghost gaps' highlights invisible divides in the workplace. Workplace identity significantly impacts employee engagement and experience. Visibility in the workplace is crucial for connection and engagement. Organizational culture is shaped by the actions of all employees, not just leadership. The 4I framework can help organizations address ghost gaps effectively. Earning buy-in for change requires appealing to both hearts and minds. Sponsorship is more impactful than mentorship for career advancement. Transparency in communication builds trust within organizations. Investing in employees at all levels fosters loyalty and engagement.

Today's episode is for the woman who's doing well on paper…earning more, climbing higher, checking the boxes of financial success— and yet still wondering if she's making the smartest moves with her money. Because here's the truth: more income doesn't automatically mean more clarity, more confidence, or even more security.In fact, high-earning women often face a unique set of financial blind spots—from over-relying on tax strategies to holding too much company stock, to quietly navigating complicated power dynamics at home and at work. And those mistakes can be costly if we don't name them.To help us unpack all of this, I'm joined by someone whose passion for empowering women financially is unmistakable the moment you hear her speak—financial advisor Maggie Johndrow who is a partner at Johndrow Wealth.In this conversation, we talk about the quiet financial mistakes high-earning women make, how taxes can mislead our biggest decisions, what to know about RSUs and stock options before they surprise you with a bill, and the emotional—and practical—realities of being the breadwinner at home.

What does it actually take to build a non-alcoholic spirit that the bar world respects?In this episode of Business of Drinks, Chris Abbott, co-founder of The Pathfinder, walks us through how the NA brand scaled to more than 20,000 nine-liter cases in 2025 — up over 80% year-over-year — by doing something many emerging brands skip: Earning credibility on-premise first.From Day One, The Pathfinder wasn't positioned around what it doesn't have. Instead, the team spent two years developing a fermented and distilled hemp-seed base, layered with 20 botanicals, so bartenders could treat it like a real spirit. Their key insight? If you want back-bar respect, build like a spirits brand — not a wellness brand.Chris shares why they went after the hardest accounts first — bars you can't buy your way into — and how landing 50 to 100 serious on-premise placements before leaning on distributors changed the entire conversation. As he observes, case studies are helpful, but visible traction in elite accounts is what turns heads inside distribution (and for consumer brand awareness).He's also transparent about what really motivates distributor partners. It's not just growth charts. It's whether reps believe they can make money selling the brand. Once that clicks, velocity follows.We talk about the unexpected upside of scarcity (including an early COVID-era stockout that created outsized buzz), why the company resisted the typical CPG urge to launch multiple SKUs too early, and how RTDs were introduced later as a smart trial and versatility play — not as a distraction from the core bottle.Retail expansion through Total Wine and Whole Foods became another proof point. When Pathfinder started selling in markets where the founders weren't personally hand-selling or training staff, that's when they knew product-market fit had moved beyond the echo chamber.At its core, this is a conversation about disciplined growth. Chris returns again and again to fundamentals: Unit economics, profitable scaling, and earning the right to expand into new states and new channels.If you're building in non-alc, spirits, THC, functional, or any emerging drinks category where credibility with the trade matters, this episode offers a replicable blueprint for how to do it — and how to scale without losing focus.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:YouTubeLinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

Welding productivity is one of the most misunderstood topics in the industry—and it's costing shops serious money. In this episode, Jason Becker sits down with Nate Bowman to break down the reality behind arc-on time, operator factor, deposition rate, and weld volume. Together, they explain why welders aren't "only welding 11 minutes an hour," how over-welding quietly drains profitability, and how small operational changes—like proper weld sizing or adding an extra grinder—can save thousands of dollars over time. This conversation isn't about blame. It's about data, efficiency, and building high-performance welding operations that benefit both welders and business owners.

The landscape of Social Security is changing yet again. As we enter 2026, six big changes will impact both current and future retirees. I break down everything from the new cost of living adjustment (COLA), increases in the earnings test limit, and updated eligibility requirements, all the way to shifts in the full retirement age and the solvency projections for the Social Security Trust Fund. You'll also hear practical tips on maximizing your Social Security benefits, how to prepare for what's ahead, and why it's more important than ever to have a solid retirement plan in place.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Social Security updates in 2026. [04:23] Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). [09:00] Social Security earnings and credits. [13:41] Social Security benefits timing. [15:31] Social Security cuts looming in 2033. Key Social Security Changes in 2026 On the show, you'll hear an overview of these changes, helping you to prepare and adjust your financial plans accordingly. From increased earning limits to the solvency of the trust fund, here's what you need to know. 1. Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA): A Modest Boost One of the most anticipated changes each year, the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), has been set at 2.8% for 2026—slightly higher than last year's 2.5%. This increase is designed to help benefits keep pace with inflation and is calculated automatically based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) (as explained by Ryan Morrissey ). For retirees, this means an average monthly benefit increase of around $56 for singles and $88 for married couples. However, COLA's impact can be offset by hikes in Medicare Part B premiums, which have risen to $201.96 for 2026. This nearly $18 increase represents a 9.6% jump—higher than the COLA percentage—reminding retirees to monitor both Social Security and Medicare in tandem for accurate budgeting. 2. Earnings Test Limits: Collecting While Working If you want to claim Social Security before reaching your full retirement age and continue working, new earnings test limits apply. For those aged 62 until they reach full retirement age, the annual earnings limit is now $24,480, with benefits reduced by $1 for every $2 earned above this threshold. If you're in the year you hit full retirement age, the limit jumps to $65,160. Exceeding this means your benefit will be reduced by $1 for every $3 extra earned. Importantly, once you reach the month of your full retirement age, these limits disappear, and you can collect benefits without reductions regardless of income. 3. Earning Credits for Eligibility To qualify for Social Security, you must earn at least 40 credits over your working lifetime. For 2026, you'll receive one credit for each $1,890 earned per quarter—a slight increase over last year's $1,810. Most individuals accumulate the required credits after about 10 years of work. Earning more than 40 credits doesn't increase your benefit, but working longer and earning more can boost your payout through the average indexed monthly earnings calculation. 4. Social Security Wage Base Increase Social Security taxes apply to income up to a set wage base, which in 2026 rises to $184,500. Both employees and employers pay 6.2% up to this limit, which has increased by $7,500 over the last year. If you're self-employed, you cover both portions (12.4%). There's no cap on what you pay into Medicare, with a rate of 1.45%, and an additional 0.9% for higher earners. These thresholds have not been adjusted for inflation, making planning essential for those with larger salaries. 5. Full Retirement Age: Incremental Shift The gradual increase in full retirement age culminates in 2026. Those born in 1959 can claim full benefits at age 66 and 10 months, while anyone born in 1960 or later sees their full retirement age rise to 67. This change marks the final step in modifications enacted by the 1983 Social Security Act. After age 67, there are no planned increases—unless Congress takes further action. 6. Social Security Trust Fund: Solvency Concerns The long-term outlook for the Social Security Trust Fund remains a concern. Per the latest trustee report, benefits could be cut by 23% in 2033 if Congress does not act. Recent laws have expanded eligibility but also reduced system inflows, raising questions about solvency. For now, we don't need to panic; proactive planning and staying informed are key. Regularly review your Social Security status and plan contributions, and consider how these changes affect your overall financial strategy.  Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact   Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

Earning, spending, investing and shopping overseas has never been easier, but it has never been more complex either. If your money is constantly moving between currencies, countries, and platforms, it can feel like you're doing everything right on paper while still losing value through fees, exchange rates and timing. In this episode of Everything Counts, Motheo Khoaripe explores what it really means to live a global financial life. He's joined by Dan Buntman, Product Lead for International Banking at Investec, and Bonnie Dalglish, Private Banking Forex Lead, to unpack how South Africans are spending, earning and investing in an increasingly borderless world. The conversation dives into the explosive growth of online and global shopping, the rise of multicurrency lifestyles, and why so many people feel their money is harder to track than ever before. From foreign income and international subscriptions to offshore investing, travel, and digital nomad life, the episode highlights the hidden costs and blind spots that can quietly erode your finances. You'll learn how exchange rates, fees, and payment timing impact your money, why separating currency conversion from spending can be a game changer, and how new banking technology is simplifying global payments behind the scenes. The experts also explain how multicurrency accounts and intelligent routing can help reduce friction, avoid unnecessary conversions, and give you more control when your life stretches across borders. If your lifestyle, income, or investments are international (or heading that way) this episode will help you understand how to make your global money work harder for you, with less stress and more control. 00:00 Introduction 02:00 How popular is online shopping? 04:00 How are South Africans online shopping overseas? 05:10 Banking allows global shopping 06:10 How are South Africans living and spending across borders? 09:00 What to consider when it comes to multi currency spending 09:30 Buying foreign currency vs global spending 11:00 How banking innovations make international spending easier 12:00 What is a multi currency account? 13:00 The technology behind multi currency accounts 15:15 Benefits of a multi currency account 17:05 How many people are using multi currency accounts? 19:30 Key takeaways for international spending 21:00 Conclusion Investec Focus Radio SA

"Community is what fills you up. Earning money is what helps you pay your bills."  Real leadership shows up when success expands beyond personal gain and turns into responsibility for others. Building something meaningful takes communication, commitment, and a willingness to step into problems rather instead of avoiding them. When people align around purpose instead of convenience, work becomes fulfilling, communities strengthen, and momentum grows naturally through shared effort.  Eric Axelrod explains how decades in recruiting taught him the fundamentals of listening, problem-solving, and guiding people through uncertainty—and how those same principles fueled the creation of Wood For Good. What began as helping a few families during COVID quickly turned into a scalable community effort because volunteers found purpose, connection, and pride in meaningful action. He highlights how isolation weakens societies, while shared service restores confidence, energy, and human dignity.  Eric is a longtime recruiting executive and nonprofit founder based in Vermont. Through Wood For Good, he mobilizes volunteers to provide firewood to families facing heat insecurity, demonstrating how entrepreneurial skills can be redirected toward community resilience and lasting impact.  Expert action steps:  Listen deeply before acting—real solutions come from understanding people, not assumptions.  Lead with visible passion—energy and sincerity create momentum and trust.  Treat obstacles as opportunities—how you interpret problems determines your progress.  Learn more & connect:  https://wood4good.org/  Socials:  https://www.facebook.com/Wood4GoodVT/  https://www.instagram.com/wood4goodvt  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level. 

UFC 325 had some really great moments and finishes throughout the card. Ruffy over Fiziev, BSD over Dan Hooker and some not so great. Chief of the worst was just the booking in the main event, Diego Lopes vs Alexander Volkanovski looked like Lopes vs Volk 1. It was a dominant performance the first time and it was only 9 months ago. What was even the point?

In this message, Ben unpacks the profound truth that "Grace is opposed to earning, but not effort," tackling the common spiritual struggle of feeling the need to perform for God's love.

Discover how to re-center your identity as a beloved son or daughter of God, and learn two simple, life-changing shifts—slowing down your approach to Bible reading and adopting a practice of continual "Help, Thanks, Wow" prayer—that have re-energized his relationship with Jesus and can do the same for you.

Picking up a camera is often the start of a life-changing journey. And when it's combined with a focus on community building, the determination to lead by example, and shrewd entrepreneurial skills—this basic action can have a ripple effect with the potential to change countless lives. In today's show, we speak with creative community trailblazer CJ Wolfe, who has built a passion for pictures and infectious team spirit into a multifaceted brand that encompasses rental studios, a creative agency, and a non-profit organization with a mission to educate and inspire disenfranchised youth.  Listen in and discover how CJ tapped the determination and leadership skills instilled in him as a student athlete to build a thriving business from the ground up. As an advocate of the 10,000-hour rule, he put in the time and focused on studying the industry and its varied tools and processes, to propel both himself and his community to the next level. When asked what advice he'd give to young photographers just starting out, CJ notes: "…have your third eye open to what's going on around you, and how you can fit that into your story, into your art, into your creativity with your camera. Because nowadays, photographers, you're just not a photographer. Like, there's so much more to that now." Guest: CJ Wolfe Episode Timeline: 2:55: CJ's first camera, his pictures of fellow athletes, and learning camera settings on the fly. 6:29: The skills CJ learned from sports that have helped him build his business.  10:37: The challenges involved in establishing a 600-square-foot photo studio and rental business.  16:55: Building the business by studying the industry and the needed tools and trusting that process.  20:52: Establishing the CJ Wolfe Foundation as a non-profit organization and building the staff.  24:57: Earning people's trust, changing the perception of the neighborhood, and looking to establish studios in other cities.  31:23: Looking ahead to another five years and having more impact, plus CJ's plans to get back to his own photography. 33:59: CJ's advice for photographers who are just starting out: Always be open to learning new things about storytelling and marketing.  36:55: CJ's upcoming plans related to upcoming photo activations and major events going on in Philadelphia.   Guest Bio: CJ Wolfe first picked up a camera in 2018, while pursuing college studies as a student-athlete. Since that time, he's become a staple within Philadelphia's creative community, influencing sports, music, and lifestyle through his creativity behind the scenes and, most importantly, behind the camera. Early on, CJ recognized a major gap in his hometown—a lack of safe, inspiring spaces for photographers to refine their craft, showcase their talents, and build professional networks. Responding to that need, in 2020, he founded Immortal Vision Studio, which quickly grew into a trusted rental powerhouse for photo and video production. Now operating two boutique studios totaling 6,000 square feet and booking over 2,000 appointments a year, this homegrown business has become a cornerstone of the city's creative community. Additionally, in 2023, CJ founded Immortal Vision Agency as a creative firm producing high-impact content for brands and businesses, while simultaneously elevating local talent to the world stage. Working together with his team, CJ has produced work for Red Bull, Footlocker, Ethika, ASAP Ferg, Lil Baby, Meek Mill, and Allen Iverson to name just a few.   Stay Connected: CJ Wolfe Website: https://www.cjxwolfe.com/  CJ Wolfe Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cjxwolfe/   CJ Wolfe LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cj-wolfe   CJ Wolfe Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/discover/scott-beardslee  Immortal Vision Studio Website: https://www.immortalvisionstudio.com/  Immortal Vision Studio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/immortalvisionstudio/   Immortal Vision Studio Youtube: https://www.www.youtube.com/@immortalvisionstudio/  Immortal Vision Studio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/immortalvisionstudio  CJ Wolfe podcast segment at B&H's Bild Expo: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/bild-2025-recap-with-cj-wolfe-maria-clinton-benjamin-von-wong  Credits: Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

In this episode, Ian sits down with Henry Wagner, Chief Marketing Officer at Megaport, to explore how marketing teams can earn attention in increasingly crowded and skeptical B2B markets.Henry shares why Megaport invests in unconventional campaigns, like building an eight-bit video game to celebrate a major company milestone, and how smaller, calculated bets often outperform large, high-risk sponsorships. He breaks down his philosophy of “doing science, not alchemy” in marketing, emphasizing rigorous testing, learning, and iteration over narrative-driven guesswork.Key Takeaways:Creative risk is easier to justify when bets are small and frequent. Contained experiments often deliver outsized attention with limited downside.Great marketing teams run science, not alchemy. Measurement, iteration, and learning beat intuition and narrative.LLMs change discovery, but not the need for authority. Clear, structured, problem-focused content still wins—measurement just looks different.Episode Timestamps: *(14:16) The Trust Tree: *(17:56) The Playbook: *(46:32) Quick Hits: Sponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

This episode is a deep exploration of purpose, initiation, and what it truly means to live in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. I'm joined by Tim Corcoran, founder of Purpose Mountain and co-director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, whose life's work is devoted to helping people reconnect with their soul-level calling through nature-based mentoring and rites of passage.Tim shares his personal journey from a conventional path in computer science to a life shaped by wilderness immersion, indigenous wisdom, and long-term mentorship. We explore the cultural gap created by the absence of meaningful rites of passage in modern society, and how that absence often leads people to unconsciously create their own initiations through suffering, addiction, or crisis. Tim offers a radically different framework—one rooted in intentional initiation, deep nature connection, and guided vision quests that help individuals discover who they are and why they're here.We also dive into the mechanics and philosophy behind vision quests, including fasting, solitude, mindset, and the importance of preparation and integration. Tim explains why these experiences are not about endurance or bravado, but about presence, humility, and listening—both to oneself and to the living intelligence of the Earth. We talk about mentorship as a reciprocal relationship, resilience as a cultivated capacity, and how true healing often emerges from being witnessed over time rather than chasing peak experiences.This conversation is a powerful reminder that purpose isn't something we invent—it's something we remember when we slow down, step outside, and allow life to speak back.Visit purposemountain.com to sign up for a Vision Quest or Discover Your Purpose mentoring.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.
