We break down the massive implications of the U.S. Treasury's multi-billion dollar buyback program and how direct bond market intervention is shifting yields. The conversation also explores incoming PCE inflation data, expected Nvidia earnings, and what the financial policies discussed at Jackson Hole mean for upcoming Federal Reserve rate decisions.Beyond the macro setup, we analyze Bitcoin's recent breakout to determine if the bear market is truly over amid anticipated institutional adoption. Finally, we map out the five non-negotiable rules for raising investor capital and break down the four unique types of leverage you can use to secure real estate ownership today.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDU.S. Treasury buybacks and direct bond market interventionPCE inflation data and future Federal Reserve rate pause predictionsNvidia earnings expectations and impact on the broader tech sectorJackson Hole economic symposium and the proposed Crypto Clarity ActBitcoin price breakouts and expanding institutional market adoptionThe five non-negotiable rules for successfully raising investor capitalFour distinct types of capital used to aggressively acquire real estateKEY TAKEAWAYSThe Federal Reserve is heavily leaning toward rate pauses rather than cuts, shifting the focus to direct treasury interventions to lower bond yields.Sustained Bitcoin all-time highs will likely depend on the passage of the Crypto Clarity Act and the subsequent entry of regulated U.S. government purchasing.Leading with a deal's downside risk and stress-testing potential threats is the fastest way to build credibility with sophisticated capital investors.You do not always need liquid cash to acquire real estate; sourcing the deal, operating the asset, or leveraging your personal balance sheet are equally valuable forms of capital.Never pitch an investment opportunity that you do not have ultimate operational control over, as protecting investor capital requires executive decision-making power.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONVisit skylineocresidences.com to discover luxury homeownership and exceptional value at Skyline OC.Invest in the Imagos Income Fund for steady passive returns targeting 10%.

As a coach for the last eight years, I've mostly coached high-earning, successful moms, and what I know from my own experience and from coaching thousands of women is that there's a unique paradox that comes with success. You've created so much. You're grateful for it. And because of that, it can feel even more frustrating and disorienting when you don't have the result you want in a specific area. Whether it's yelling at your kids, feeling disconnected in your marriage, stressing about money, or not being at your goal weight—not having what you want after working so hard to create an amazing life can create this low-grade discontentment that's hard to shake.  Listen to this episode to hear what my unique take is on this—it just might give you a fresh perspective on what to do next.       WORK WITH ME     Motherhood — The Mom On Purpose Membership Weight Loss — At Your Goal Weight     SOCIAL Instagram @ mom.onpurpose Show notes: momonpurpose.com/413 Podcast Hotline: 8-333-ASKNAT (833-327-5628)

Send us Fan MailWhat does it really take to build a career in professional sport?This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with strength and conditioning coach Jason Martin as he prepares to begin a new chapter as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs.Jason's path began early, earning his first training certification at just 16 before completing his Physical Education degree at McGill University. His career would eventually take him through CrossFit, professional tennis, Major League Baseball, more than a decade of working with hockey players, and three seasons in player development with the Pittsburgh Penguins.But this conversation is about much more than Jason's résumé.We talk about the influence of mentorship, particularly his relationship with Andy O'Brien, and why experience can't simply be replaced by collecting certifications. Jason shares his thoughts on asking for feedback, recognizing your limitations, building genuine relationships, and allowing a career to develop without trying to engineer every next step.We also dig into one of the most important challenges of working in professional sport: earning the trust of athletes who didn't necessarily choose you to work with them.Jason's philosophy is refreshingly simple. Ask questions. Listen. Understand what the athlete needs. Be good to people. Do quality work. And give trust the time it needs to develop.A great conversation about coaching, mentorship, relationships, experience, and the long game of building a meaningful career in high performance.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com

Winning a referral is one thing. Earning the next one is where firms separate themselves. Joe Vito is the founding partner of Vito & Dollenmaier Law, a Chicago personal injury firm that has recovered more than $100 million in under four years. With five attorneys, a litigation-heavy practice, and a perfect 5.0-star rating, his firm has become a trusted litigation partner for firms looking to maximize difficult cases. In this episode, Joe shares how his team built a referral-based business without competing on advertising, why every client works directly with an attorney instead of a case manager, and how aggressive litigation combined with exceptional communication keeps referral partners coming back. You'll learn: Why litigation creates stronger referrals than simply settling cases quickly. How a 24-hour communication standard protects referral partner relationships. What turns denied liability claims into valuable settlements. Why assigning attorneys to every file improves both client experience and case outcomes. How referral-focused firms compete against national advertisers without matching their marketing budgets.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima evaluate whether Deshaun Watson is truly earning his starting role with the Browns or simply benefiting from a lack of competition. They also analyze the Guardians' recent struggles, debating if Travis Bazzana needs a minor league reset and whether Jose Ramirez should be shut down to recover from injury. 01:50 - Fan 15 Celebration Promo 06:05 - Watson Earning Starting Job 16:05 - Potential Travis Bazzana Reset 19:13 - Shutting Down Jose Ramirez 24:08 - Evaluating Watson Trade Value 33:11 - Browns Preseason Offense Style

After a lighthearted detour into Fan 15 buffet talk and old grudges against Brent Venables' Clemson sideline theatrics, Ken and Lima dig into whether Deshaun Watson is genuinely earning the starting job or simply benefiting from a thin quarterback room. Lima argues Watson's superior command of the offense is real but largely off field, while Ken counters that the front office's financial incentive to sell tickets and PSLs makes starting an unpopular quarterback business suicide, which paradoxically proves Watson must be earning it on merit. They agree the debate boils down to a low bar, since it is unclear either quarterback would win a starting job on most other NFL rosters, before opening the phone lines for fan opinions.

Leila Rahimi, Marshall Harris and Mark Grote discussed the Bears' left tackle competition.

Don’t miss this massive channel shift! Subscribe to our Newsletter:https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX:https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this episode of the Ultimate Partner Podcast, host Vince Menzione sits down with Alexandra Zagury, Corporate Vice President of Channels at Microsoft, to explore ecosystem shifts, partner-led growth, and AI transformation. https://youtu.be/9jrSGX5bM90 Key Takeaways Microsoft’s telemetry and propensity data offer unprecedented insights that many partners are currently failing to unlock. Partners must evolve past basic licensing models and build comprehensive managed service stacks across the entire customer lifecycle. Establishing an AI Center of Excellence on the Microsoft platform is critical for capturing future market share and technical intensity. The modern tech ecosystem demands a shift from product-led growth to true partner-led growth driven by multi-partner collaboration. Renewal engines targeting 110% to 125% retention require an always-on motion starting well in advance of contract expiration. Investing in sales readiness and precision velocity training ensures that end sellers can effectively articulate the value of the Microsoft platform. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

[00:00:08] Vince Menzione: You can feel it happening. The ecosystem is shifting beneath us, the way Hyperscalers are partnering, how AI is remaking the channel and what it means to win in 2026. Welcome to the Ultimate Partner Podcast. [00:00:22] Vince Menzione: I’m Vince Menzi, own your host, and each week I sit down with leaders at the intersection of technology. Partnerships and outcomes. The voices shaping how ecosystems actually work. We talk about what’s real, what’s changing, and what it takes to lead in this era where the partner channel isn’t just part of the strategy. [00:00:41] Vince Menzione: It is the strategy because being in the room changes everything. Let’s [00:00:46] Guest: start. [00:00:50] Vince Menzione: I am thrilled because I get to have a leader that is somewhat new in role and is the corporate vice president of channels for Microsoft. And so Alex is here to, is joining us for the first time at Ultimate Partner. I’m thrilled to have you. Thank, thank you so much. Thank you so much. Welcome, welcome. [00:01:14] Vince Menzione: Thank you. Thank you. You and I are gonna be in the center seat in the middle. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. We wanna. So I am thrilled. Um, you’re relatively new in your role at Microsoft. [00:01:24] Alexandra Zagury: Seven months. [00:01:25] Vince Menzione: Seven months, [00:01:26] Alexandra Zagury: yes. [00:01:26] Vince Menzione: Wow. That’s a, that’s a crazy. So take us through, ’cause for those who don’t know you, but a little bit of an introduction, your title, your role, CVP, and uh, your remit. [00:01:37] Vince Menzione: Let’s talk about that and what your organization is focused in, in your mission. Yeah. [00:01:41] Alexandra Zagury: So hi everybody. Really exciting to be here. Thanks for the invitation, Vince. I always love to be with partners and with the channel. So my, I came to Microsoft to lead a new role, which we call Global Channel Sales, and it was part of the strategy of Microsoft to really bet on the growth in small, medium enterprise. [00:02:04] Alexandra Zagury: With the channel partner led growth. So my remit is really to lead our managed partners, but also to lead the strategy when it comes to the channel. Very specifically looking at the telcos, the distributors, the hosters. The sis and, uh, the SSPs of course. And, and so my role can be summarized in one word growth, and that’s what we do every single day is map our ambition to your ambition and figure out how we actually conquer this age of ai. [00:02:40] Vince Menzione: It’s a pretty big role. It’s a pretty, you know, I forgot about hosts ’cause we don’t, we don’t talk about them as much these days in the cloud. [00:02:48] Alexandra Zagury: Still a lot [00:02:48] Vince Menzione: of opportunity. You’ve got, and you’ve got all the telcos as well, which are pretty significant organizations, right? Lumen Field, just around the corner. [00:02:56] Vince Menzione: Mm-hmm. Right up the. Right up, I said across the river, but it’s across the pond in Seattle. And, uh, what does that look like from an organization perspective in terms of dollars? Are you allowed to disclose numbers? [00:03:08] Alexandra Zagury: No, we [00:03:08] Vince Menzione: don’t talk numbers. Okay. And, but you have a long career in this type of environment, in this role. [00:03:15] Vince Menzione: 10 years at Cisco, right? [00:03:17] Alexandra Zagury: Mm-hmm. [00:03:17] Vince Menzione: Tell us a little bit more about your background, [00:03:18] Alexandra Zagury: please. Yeah, sure. Um, well I started out as a, a sales leader. Uh, actually I started out in banking, if you wanna go all the way back. Um, but I fell in love with the channel actually, when I was at Yahoo, believe it or not. Wow. [00:03:32] Alexandra Zagury: Because it was the first interact sales model that I had the privilege to operate in, and I really understood. Stood the power of going through a channel. And then I was at Blackberry where I, I, I also, um, well had various sales leadership roles, but our model was all through, was all through the channel. [00:03:51] Alexandra Zagury: Yes. Um, some startups and then help [00:03:54] Vince Menzione: in those days too, right? [00:03:55] Alexandra Zagury: Yeah. It was all sps and I learned from Jim Balze the channel fundamentals. So, um, and then ended up, of course, at Cisco the last. Nearly 11 years, which I think is also one of the greatest channel companies. Yes. And really has thrived in a partner, partner led growth, and in a partner led model. [00:04:12] Alexandra Zagury: And so when, when Microsoft called, I mean, this was just the opportunity of a lifetime. To lead the channel during an era where we’re all getting disrupted, we’re all having to blueprint new systems, new ways of working, where go to market is getting identified, and we’re all having to figure out how to become customer zero ourselves, but then also how to go to market. [00:04:36] Alexandra Zagury: With, with agents. And so this was the, the most exciting time that I could think of to join the Microsoft ecosystem and really take us to the next level. [00:04:44] Vince Menzione: Well, your background is perfect for this. I, I, Rodney Clark is a friend, has been a guest on the podcast and in, in the studio, and I think of Cisco is the quintessential channel company. [00:04:56] Vince Menzione: Like when I think about how channel got created and how it worked well, it was always Cisco that did it. So give us like your perspective now, like seven plus months and like how does this feel like you’ve You’ve got a big remit and, uh, various, uh, routes to market. We’ll call them, uh, channels to market. [00:05:14] Vince Menzione: So take us through a little bit of that, like Yeah, sure. [00:05:16] Alexandra Zagury: Describe [00:05:16] Vince Menzione: the transition, what it’s been like [00:05:18] Alexandra Zagury: for you. So one of the things we’re focused on is supporting the channel through the transformation, and we look at it in a couple of lenses. The first lens is really helping the channel become customer zero. [00:05:29] Alexandra Zagury: We really believe that the partners that invest in. Actually identifying their own processes and their own go go to market are the channels, are are the partners that it can actually win because if you are using it, you’re gonna be able to sell it. The second layer is all about technical intensity, and I’m very passionate about this because I see it from two lenses. [00:05:51] Alexandra Zagury: One is. I would like each and every of our partners to lead in building an AI Center of Excellence based on the Microsoft platform. It is a unique opportunity. I can give you lots of numbers, right? We’ve all heard about the trillions of agents that are gonna be here by 2030. We’ve all heard about the tam. [00:06:12] Alexandra Zagury: I mean, our TAM is going from 777. Million to over a billion, uh, to over a trillion. I, it’s, the numbers are just enormous, insane, right? Over half a billion of customers in our base that are using, that are, that are based already on the Microsoft platform. So all the goodness of our IU IQ platform can be unlocked with all the services that the partners can build. [00:06:36] Alexandra Zagury: So investing in that technical skilling and building those practices are gonna be, is gonna be essential. The third part. The third pillar is all about ag agentic, GTM. So once you’re actually using, uh, the Microsoft platform, you’re gonna have to reimagine all your business’s pro processes, your sales processes, and the more that you are integrated into how we do, how we do things. [00:07:00] Alexandra Zagury: One of the things that I think is the best kept secret at Microsoft is the telemetry that we offer our partners. Yeah. I mean, it’s unbelievable. I’ve never seen the quality of propensity data. And now I’m gonna give you the ABCs, which is please, A SPX, which is where we get all our copilot data, PUPP, which is our proposal upsell, uh, planner, right, cloud descent, where you can actually get your next action directly to your sellers. [00:07:27] Alexandra Zagury: There is just so much goodness that we give, which is part of our, our investment in partners. Which takes me to the fourth pillar, and that is all about value alignment and one of the things that I’m very focused and I bring with me from, from Cisco and the work that I did with MSPs is really thinking through what is that value exchange between us and the partner. [00:07:49] Alexandra Zagury: I believe that I’m in the business of earning your trust. Earning your preference. And, and, and we do that by really mapping that value alignment. So not just, one of the things that the whole industry has copied from Microsoft is really looking at our incentives across the customer lifecycle. Yes. So really mapping the value alignment across the customer lifecycle, not just at the point of the deal. [00:08:13] Alexandra Zagury: ’cause that was the whole purpose of CSP. That’s right. The investments we make in tele telemetry, the investments we make in our go-to-market assets and having those bi-directional feedback loops so that we can be continuously improving. So those are sort of the things that I’m thinking about every day. [00:08:29] Alexandra Zagury: There’s a couple of others as we lead and support you in this transformation. ’cause I think of my job as to supporting and driving growth with you so that we have that joint ambition. But also supporting the transformation that both of us are on this journey. [00:08:44] Vince Menzione: And Microsoft was the first with Jay McBain was with us yesterday, and we talked, we’ve talked about this before, but you were the first company to take and look, get rid of the old metal systems, right? [00:08:55] Vince Menzione: The bronze, silver, gold, mm-hmm. And move to basically a point system for partners so that they can come at it from a kind of a global perspective on how they drive success. What was, um, what did you learn about this partner community, your first months that you didn’t expect? [00:09:12] Alexandra Zagury: Can I say something controversial? [00:09:14] Vince Menzione: Absolutely. Okay. [00:09:14] Alexandra Zagury: I love, [00:09:14] Vince Menzione: we love controversial, [00:09:15] Alexandra Zagury: so I think one of the things that I was surprised was that I didn’t see all the partners really unlocking the value of CSP. Yeah. What do I mean by that? When Microsoft moved to the Point System, and I was on the other side, really, I was so jealous of CSP when I was running managed services. [00:09:34] Alexandra Zagury: Here’s an offer that is for partners, for Partner that gives you that initial. Guarantee in terms of the margin that helps you throughout the customer life cycle with all the incentives and, and programs that we have. And I didn’t see, I mean there are some partners, but I was surprised not seeing more partners really building their value stack and their services across the lifecycle. [00:09:59] Alexandra Zagury: And I think there’s such a great opportunity now to do that. That was one of the most surprising things I thought. Oh my gosh, there must be so many, so many services stack, so many people really unlocking, unlocking that, that value. That was a, that was a little bit surprising. [00:10:14] Vince Menzione: Why? Why do you suppose, why do you suppose that was happening? [00:10:17] Alexandra Zagury: I think some of the things that we were listening here, there’s some, sometimes complexity. There are things that we still have to. Get better on, and I’m one of the first ones to say that like our partner experience, we have, um, you know, a lot of focus right now on partner center and ensuring that we’re identifying it. [00:10:36] Alexandra Zagury: I don’t know if I can say it, but, you know, one of the things that we’re looking at is replicating internally. We have Agent J. That supports our sellers through the sales process. Nice. We’re looking at having something similar for our partners. Very cool. Getting some claps there. So, yeah, so, uh, I think, you know, that I, some, there are some lockers that we, we have to acknowledge a lot of them are operational and comes with being a 50-year-old company. [00:11:02] Vince Menzione: I, I’ll give you my perspective too. I wanna get your thoughts on this. ’cause I got to, I’ve gotten to know this MSP community, which is a, you mentioned managed services and that, um, I think that some of them, well, I think Microsoft is leaning in, in a much bigger way. Um, we had Jose on stage yesterday and just the, the energy around the room, there he is, he’s back here. [00:11:23] Vince Menzione: The energy in the room around the MSP community is palpable and it maybe it wasn’t there a few years ago. Maybe some people got off the bus, so to speak, like they weren’t really paying attention mm-hmm. To all the change and all the investments. That you men, you’re mentioning or being made to support this, would you, what would you say about that? [00:11:42] Alexandra Zagury: Yeah, I’d say that that that is correct, but I’d also say that what I learned, you know, leading MSP at Cisco was that. All the stars have to be aligned, right? And if one thing is not right, if you don’t have product market fit, if you, if you, if you don’t have a good way to, uh, consolidate your offer, if you don’t have that investment in practice development, like there’s a series of things that we need to get right. [00:12:07] Alexandra Zagury: And I think Jose and I spent a lot of time thinking through those things and we’re, we’re ready to, to welcome the community and specifically around security. I mean, that was the second thing that I was really surprised because I lost so many deals on the other side to Microsoft, and I was like, and then I come on this side and I’m like, there’s all this opportunity everywhere. [00:12:28] Alexandra Zagury: I look underneath this chair, this opportunity, and I’m like, why are people not going after it? There is the opportunity to build managed XDR solutions, the opportunity to reinvent the song. There’s, there’s just so much opportunity and I think people get so stuck in the. Just thinking of it from a licensing model and not thinking it from the, the full on end-to-end value that you can then unlock through the best licensing model on the planet. [00:12:55] Alexandra Zagury: And so, look, we’re here, we’re, we’re ready to talk to all of you and, and really figure this out ’cause we are gonna place really bet big bets next year on ensuring that we’re growing with the MSP community. [00:13:08] Vince Menzione: So what are you personally focused on in changing Microsoft to drive this. [00:13:13] Alexandra Zagury: Well, uh, I don’t know. [00:13:14] Alexandra Zagury: Changing is a, is a, is a big word. Well, I like evolution, change, [00:13:17] Vince Menzione: evolution, evolving. [00:13:18] Alexandra Zagury: You know, I [00:13:19] Vince Menzione: transition. [00:13:21] Alexandra Zagury: I think there is, there is a couple of things that I’ll say that one of the things that I, I’m really focused on right now, the first one is skilling. We’re at a time of such transformation. That investing in skilling, and if you look at our skilling model, it has four pillars. [00:13:37] Alexandra Zagury: The first pillar we’re best in class, in which is certification specializations, and making sure that our ecosystem is certified to go to market. The second one, which we call project ready. It’s sort of how we help you, uh, technically skill the folks that sit in your practices. And there’s more work to do there, and there’s more that you can learn about how we can actually help you. [00:13:59] Alexandra Zagury: And then the middle part I’m obsessed with right now, which is sales ready and tech sales ready. So it is ensuring, because AI is new for everybody. Yes. It’s a muscle, it is a proposition that you have to sell it’s value that you’re selling. I, I love what the gentleman from Lenovo was talking about. It’s, it’s that CSB always on motion. [00:14:21] Alexandra Zagury: Yes. And so really getting very crisp to the end seller at the, at the reseller. For example, at the end, seller at the partner about why Microsoft. Why now, how do I sell and how do I win? And giving them the assets, the competitive battle cards, the, the, the ability to end objection handling all these. Great, we have them. [00:14:45] Alexandra Zagury: I mean, the amount of content we have, but it’s about doing it at what I call precision velocity. [00:14:51] Vince Menzione: Precision [00:14:51] Alexandra Zagury: velocity, right? Which is this concept of how do we get very precise at a persona level. So that we get the velocity of impact. And so I’m, I’m very obsessed with that right now. And there’s two other things I’m very obsessed with, right? [00:15:04] Alexandra Zagury: The other one is this practice building, ensuring that we are together building these AI centers of excellence, um, especially for all our managed partners. This is something that I’ve put on, uh, every single PDM in our org is gonna, is gonna be talking about that. And then the third one is one that I find super interesting, which I think all of us. [00:15:25] Alexandra Zagury: Have a lot of work to do, which is partner to partner. [00:15:29] Vince Menzione: Yes. [00:15:29] Alexandra Zagury: If we look at a customer outcome, thank you. A customer outcome is built of many partners, right? There’s so many different touch points. I think some folks talk about seven partners in, in a customer outcome, and so how do we actually. Use agents, use agent solutions to suddenly unlock this opportunity because most of the time you’ll see an SSP with an si, maybe an ISV in the middle of a transaction to deliver on that customer outcome. [00:16:04] Alexandra Zagury: Yes. So what can we Microsoft do? And I’d love ideas, right? I haven’t cracked this. I don’t think the industry has completely cracked this. It’s more of a, a science than, than, well, more of an art than it is a science today. So that’s the third thing that I, I, I’d love to really improve and, and get better at. [00:16:20] Vince Menzione: I wish you got to see my slide earlier. ’cause I had the seven seats. I had this, I had the seven partners surrounding the customer. Customer is able to make their decisions now because with their cloud commitments [00:16:31] Alexandra Zagury: mm-hmm. [00:16:32] Vince Menzione: They’re in the, they’re in the seat where it used to be. I would rely on the partner to tell me what to do. [00:16:38] Vince Menzione: I, I’m cobbling together the best solution for my organization. Based on the trusted partners, to your point, those seven seats, and that’s partner to partner action. And Jay McBain was here yesterday and he took us through a great example. It’s AstraZeneca, that Microsoft won AWS, thought they were gonna win the deal, and then there were Microsoft partners in involved. [00:17:00] Vince Menzione: And the, the decision was made in December, but the deal didn’t happen until July. And that whole process was because all these different partners showed up. And influence the decision and the solution areas for that customer. [00:17:12] Alexandra Zagury: Yeah, that’s the best example of PLG partner led growth in action, which I think, again, that is the other thing that I’m super excited about is that actually p proving in the AI era that it’s about PLG as partner led growth, not the other PLGI. [00:17:31] Vince Menzione: I love that. I love that. Instead of product led growth, it’s partner led growth. So I understand there’s three layers that you’re very interested in that you want, you were gonna take us through today. Okay. Do you know about this, [00:17:44] Alexandra Zagury: the layers [00:17:45] Vince Menzione: of we have, uh, copilot chat. Oh, yes. 365 and, and agents. [00:17:49] Alexandra Zagury: Yeah. [00:17:50] Vince Menzione: From a product perspective, I thought maybe, [00:17:51] Alexandra Zagury: yeah, sure. [00:17:52] Alexandra Zagury: This is, I mean. This is the, uh, advantage of choosing the market Microsoft platform. Yeah, so as you look, look at it, there’s, there’s definitely different options, but when you look at Microsoft, what’s really, really interesting is that we have all the, all the layers. There’s no AI without data, and we’ve got that data foundation. [00:18:15] Alexandra Zagury: We also have the intelligence data foundation, right? Then we’ve got the, the layer of actually building those AI agents, and then the last layer that we have is actually the experience or the application layer. So when you look at our platform is a completely integrated platform with the different choices. [00:18:35] Alexandra Zagury: We are not behold, beholden to one LLM or another LLM. You’re actually able to bring your data and, and bring the LLM that you want to deliver on the, on the outcomes that you need. And I think that is very, very unique about our proposition. Yeah, I [00:18:50] Vince Menzione: agree. [00:18:50] Alexandra Zagury: But the other thing that is unique, it’s the most exciting product out there. [00:18:55] Alexandra Zagury: Agent 3, 6 5, our own oh oh seven. It really is a differentiated proposition that every single partner can build services around. Starting with your advisory services, tell me customer, what is it that you are thinking of? Then you actually move on to thinking about security because again, just like there’s no AI without data, you have to start with that data foundation. [00:19:24] Alexandra Zagury: There’s no AI without security and no security without ai. And so really thinking through how, uh, agent 3, 6, 5, I love it. I get these claps once a, I love, love really thinking about how Agent 3, 6 5 really unlocks, not only. A security budget, but an observability budget because you can do both. You are talking to both, uh, folks at the customer, right? [00:19:47] Alexandra Zagury: You can actually start talking about how you’re gonna actually govern all of these agents, manage all of these agents, but also there’s the observability layer, which is gonna tell you what actually can you do? How can you actually deliver on the outcomes that we all want from ai, which is productivity. [00:20:05] Alexandra Zagury: Experience and efficiency and all the other things. So I think this is the biggest opportunity this channel has ever seen, and every single partner is gonna have to make a choice on what platform they’re gonna lead with, and we believe it should be ours because it is completely integrated across these three layers with our very own oh oh seven. [00:20:30] Vince Menzione: I wanna get your perspective, but it feels like many of these partners in the MSP community are stuck at that CSP level. We were having this conversation about getting through that, coaching ’em through it. What would your be your perspective on that? [00:20:44] Alexandra Zagury: Um, I’d say, uh, use this moment to unlock that opportunity. [00:20:50] Alexandra Zagury: First off, invest in your skills. Get your, get your team skilled and, uh, on Microsoft, build your center of excellence. Map out your strategy where actually you’re gonna monetize and use all the different assets that we have. And if you are being really, um, I mean, most of them are serviced through a distributor. [00:21:12] Alexandra Zagury: Make your distributor accountable for supporting you in packaging the offers and giving you the, uh, information that you need in terms of skilling. And then in terms of co-selling, again, distributor has a lot of tools that can help you understand how to unlock the co unlock, the co-selling opportunity with Microsoft. [00:21:35] Alexandra Zagury: I think that’s another really big competitive advantage that Microsoft has. When, uh, Microsoft changed what it started by, by, by changing its strategy. I think clarity is kindness. We were very, very clear that where we want, we wanted partners, of course, to play an enterprise with a services stack, but we were very clear that we were betting on a partner led growth in small, medium enterprise, right? [00:22:03] Alexandra Zagury: And so we’ve built our whole operating system. Around that. And so I think it’s really about finding the information that you know you want, planning your strategy, getting skilled and go to market with us. Our co-sell Advantage is very, very unique. It is one of the only companies that has the sales teams completely aligned because CSP is our hero motion. [00:22:29] Vince Menzione: So being with a customer through the journey on CSP, but also renewals are a big component of growth. Talk to us about that. [00:22:36] Alexandra Zagury: Yeah. Renewals are, uh, a machine and an engine that is just absolutely beautiful. It’s your [00:22:42] Vince Menzione: flywheel. [00:22:43] Alexandra Zagury: It is your flywheel. Um, and it is the gift that keeps on giving. We, of course, have a very focused, um, and in fact, one of the things that I’ve done since. [00:22:52] Alexandra Zagury: Uh, since we’ve started, it started a very focused motion in terms of looking at our renewals. We have very specific targets. We, we like to see a renewal at 110% at the moment of renewal. And then we like to see a motion, t plus three, T plus six. That gets us to that a hundred and and 25%. But what we’ve also found out is that this needs to be an always on motion. [00:23:18] Alexandra Zagury: So one of the things that we’re doing is using this concept of precision velocity becoming very rigorous. ’cause we have all the data. Yeah. In terms of what is that next action, and really looking at starting that renewal process, we see that the partners that are able to reach the targets are the ones that start at T minus. [00:23:36] Alexandra Zagury: Six, maybe T minus three, you’re cutting it, but T minus six. And really building that constant motion, getting out in front Yeah. With the customer is really important. And then of course, we now even have these amazing go back motions, uh, with, with our partners where we actually, after the renewal, we go and. [00:23:56] Alexandra Zagury: The renewal was not at the target. We just constantly keep on going. Uh, going back with the, with the partners and we’ve unlocked a, a bevy of data. We, our operating model, we call it the pods, where the PDM sits at the center and orchestrates it with all the different roles that we have. And so we now have a very systematized moment, uh, motion of how to do the renewals. [00:24:18] Vince Menzione: So for the partners in the room, what’s one investment that they should make and what should every partner in the room do differently? Going into, uh, July 1st. [00:24:27] Alexandra Zagury: Well, I think the first thing, remember, CSP is our hero motion, so really for, uh, real, really focused on that. But the one investment, can I say two? [00:24:38] Vince Menzione: Please, please. [00:24:38] Alexandra Zagury: Your time. The, the first one is skilling, right? This is the time. [00:24:43] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:24:43] Alexandra Zagury: Technical intensity is super, super important, and really making those investments in skilling not only from a practice perspective, your your, your technical practice, uh, teams, but also from a sales readiness perspective. [00:24:59] Alexandra Zagury: This is a new muscle. It’s we’re all learning how to truly sell outcomes, and so getting your sales teams ready. Is is really important. And then the second one very tied to that is building your AI Center of Excellence based on the Microsoft platform. Because as we go into FY 27, you will see that the partners that prefer and grow with us are the ones that will see the investment come to them. [00:25:28] Vince Menzione: So I want to use the term front. I I, I’ve been avoiding the term frontier firm, but I think it is super critical. Everything I’ve heard today, like you need to be customer zero. You need to get in train, advance on it and go build against it. [00:25:41] Alexandra Zagury: Absolutely. Well, if you had, let me a third, I would’ve said customer zero. [00:25:46] Vince Menzione: You have it? Alright. We have less than a minute. Would you be okay if we ask for like maybe one question? Yeah, absolutely. We’ll do like one, maybe two. So good to have you by the way. Thank you, Vince. So nice to have you here. [00:26:04] Vince Menzione: I think we did such a good job. Oh, here we go. Here’s, here’s fun. A mic is coming your way. [00:26:20] Vince Menzione: Thank you. Here we go. Okay. [00:26:22] Guest: So we’ve been very keen on, um, skilling our people, and I still find it very hard to get all of the information out of Partner Center to get a complete global view. Are you and your team thinking about maybe having an MCP server access and having a real portal working with that data? [00:26:41] Alexandra Zagury: You just touched on one of our areas of improvement. Absolutely. In fact, um, thank you for, stay tuned for holding us accountable to that. That is definitely one of the things that we’re working on is how to integrate skilling hub into partner center. Right. As most of you will know, there are it Qs, and so that’s one of the things that we are definitely prioritizing, but thank you for holding me accountable to that one. [00:27:09] Vince Menzione: Awesome. [00:27:13] Vince Menzione: We have one more back here, David. I see. We wanna see how fast they can move that microphone across the room. Relay system here. The relay team. There we go. [00:27:25] Guest: That was excellent, Alexander. Thank you. And welcome. [00:27:28] Alexandra Zagury: Thank you. [00:27:29] Guest: Can you point to a specific example? ’cause I think it’s so critical what you highlighted just the skill piece and the customer outcomes piece. [00:27:35] Guest: Right. Can you point to a specific example of a story that you really love that highlights, uh, customers lighting it up with ROI. [00:27:44] Alexandra Zagury: Yeah, I think, you know, we’re, we’re, we’re a platform, so I just saw a win wire. Like at Microsoft, we get these win wires all the time about how an SSB actually won a, a deal against one of these big AI only companies. [00:28:00] Alexandra Zagury: And it was really about selling the full platform, right? Yeah. Because if, if you, if you put a full platform against an LLM proposition, I mean, the full platform really stacks up because it’s completely integrated. It’s not behemoth to one, you’re not making a bet on one company. And it really highlighted our mantra around trust and intelligence. [00:28:24] Alexandra Zagury: The customer was able to see, they, they were an M 365 customer, so all their iq, all their intelligence was already there. They knew that they, there were guardrails against it. They had a problem with shadow ai and by actually standardizing on copilot and going on that journey from copilot paid to agents, they sue the, they saw the full, uh, value proposition. [00:28:49] Alexandra Zagury: And so we won that deal and it was one of the. First E seven deals that we won, so it was great. [00:28:55] Vince Menzione: Fantastic. Great. Congratulations. [00:28:57] Alexandra Zagury: Thank you [00:28:58] Vince Menzione: Alex. I am so honored and thrilled that you got, you chose us to be your I I would say the first big Yeah, absolutely. Presentation in front of the partner community. [00:29:07] Vince Menzione: I’m so excited to have you. [00:29:08] Alexandra Zagury: Thank you [00:29:09] Vince Menzione: guys, and hopefully many more times ahead with us. [00:29:10] Alexandra Zagury: Absolutely. Invite me at anytime. [00:29:12] Vince Menzione: Okay. Well, thank you [00:29:13] Alexandra Zagury: so much. [00:29:14] Vince Menzione: Thank you. So great [00:29:15] Alexandra Zagury: to have you.

Today, Granite Towers manages thousands of multifamily units and hundreds of millions in investor equity. On this episode we talk about: How Dan went from a professional snowboarding career to building passive income through real estate The financial lessons he learned from watching professional athletes struggle after their careers ended Why increasing passive income became more important to Dan than simply increasing earned income How real estate cycles, interest rates, and variable-rate debt are creating opportunities in today's multifamily market The importance of maintaining a modest lifestyle when your income increases How Dan approaches investing, diversification, taxes, and building long-term wealth Top 3 Takeaways Don't confuse a high income with wealth. When your income increases, maintain financial discipline and put the extra capital into assets that can continue producing income long after the paycheck stops. Understand the cycle you're investing in. Real estate markets move in cycles, and periods of fear can create opportunities for investors who understand the fundamentals and have the capital to act. Learn how to keep the money you make. Earning more is only part of the equation. Dan emphasizes the importance of taxes, investing, controlling your capital, and building assets that can create wealth for decades. Notable Quotes “You're not rich yet. You just made good money this year.” “How do you keep it for more than 15 seconds?” “If you put your capital into an asset to work for you, now you have the capital and you're getting streams of income that I control.” Connect with Dan Brisse: Website: Granite Towers Equity Group Podcast: Keeping It Real Estate Book: Four Steps to Successful Passive Investing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danbrisse/ A Word from Our Sponsors: - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through August 23, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  Learn more about your ad choices.

I am happy to welcome Brenda Tassava Medina, CVPM, CVJ, MVLCE to the show today! Brenda is the president of Encore Veterinary Consulting, and she comes on the show to help me explore how the CVPM credential creates opportunities for veterinary leaders in both corporate and private practice, and she shares her own journey to earning the designation, why it transformed her confidence as a leader, and how it continues to open doors throughout her career. We also talk about why pursuing a CVPM isn't just about adding letters after your name; it's about strengthening the knowledge and skills that help you lead with purpose! Our conversation centers on the unique advantages corporate practice managers have when they can spend less time buried in bookkeeping and more time analyzing financials, building action plans, and supporting hospital growth. Brenda and I discuss how understanding key performance indicators, working with financial experts, and presenting thoughtful business cases can help managers advocate for the resources that their teams need and how, whether you're requesting additional staff, new equipment, or operational changes, preparation and financial insight can make so much difference! We also spend some time discussing communication and why transparency is one of the most valuable leadership tools that a good manager can have. Brenda offers some practical advice on becoming the connection between corporate leadership and your hospital team by understanding the "why" behind decisions and communicating that purpose with confidence. The two of us also discuss how strong relationships with medical directors, proactive conversations with corporate leaders, and consistent professionalism help build trust throughout an organization. Brenda and I also reflect on the similarities between corporate and private practice, reminding listeners that while the environments might look different, great leadership principles remain the same. No matter where you work, earning your CVPM strengthens your ability to think strategically, advocate for your team, and grow as a leader, soif you have ever wondered whether the credential is worth the investment, then this episode is one that you definitely do not want to miss! Show Notes: [0:35] - Today's sponsor is CareCredit! [2:25] - Earning a CVPM strengthens leadership skills and equips managers to drive improvements in practice. [5:23] - I argue that CVPM certification empowers veterinary managers with preparation, credibility, and professional growth opportunities.

[16:37] - I point out how transparency and explaining the "why" behind changes helps build trust between teams and leadership.

Do successful leaders need to be ruthless, or can kindness, character, and high performance coexist?In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, Robin and Al sit down with Scott Vanderwel, CEO of PointsBet Canada, for a candid conversation about people-first leadership, strategic growth, employee empowerment, and building a successful company without compromising who you are.Scott was brought in to build PointsBet Canada before Ontario's regulated online gaming market officially opened. Starting with a team of three, an emerging industry, and no established Canadian brand presence, he had to determine where the company could compete, how it would earn trust, and which opportunities were worth pursuing.He shares how PointsBet used strategic partnerships with organizations including Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, Curling Canada, the NHL Players' Association, the NBA, and the NFL to establish credibility in a rapidly evolving market. Scott also explains why being ready on day one, controlling the company's technology, and focusing on in-play betting gave PointsBet a meaningful point of differentiation.But the heart of this conversation is not betting. It is leadership.Whether you are a CEO, entrepreneur, people leader, executive, or emerging leader, this conversation is a powerful reminder that success is not only measured by what you build. It is also measured by how you treat people while building it.You'll hear about:How Scott Vanderwel built PointsBet Canada from the ground up What leaders learn inside a startup that established businesses cannot teach them How strategic partnerships helped an unfamiliar brand earn trust Why choosing what not to pursue is essential to business strategy How PointsBet differentiated itself through proprietary technology Why geographic focus helped the company concentrate its resources Why strategy means little if you cannot move people toward it Why Scott's team believes he should run a CEO school How leaders can inspire people to contribute their “extra 25%” Scott's personal definition of success and stakeholder balance Why you do not have to be ruthless to become successful How to make difficult people decisions while preserving dignity How regulated gaming can create greater consumer protection The example Scott hopes to leave for the next generation of leadersWe talk about:00:00 Al McDonald's Great Cycle Challenge for SickKids 00:56 Meet Scott Vanderwel, CEO of PointsBet Canada 02:23 Building PointsBet Canada before Ontario's market opened 05:02 Creating a market-entry strategy in a brand-new industry 06:08 Earning trust through major Canadian sports partnerships 08:13 The skills Scott carried from Rogers into the CEO role 13:09 Choosing where to compete and where not to play 16:00 How in-play betting became a competitive advantage 18:27 Why starting with Ontario gave PointsBet greater focus 21:08 Why Scott's team says he should run a CEO school 23:24 Creating the conditions for people to do their best work 28:18 Scott's personal definition of success 33:12 The mentors who shaped Scott's leadership 35:13 Why successful leaders do not have to be ruthless 40:56 Making difficult decisions with consistency and humanityConnect with ScottLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottyvanderwel/ Website: https://join.pointsbet.ca/ Connect with UsLinkedIn: Robin Bailey and Al McDonald Website: Aria Benefits and Life & Legacy Advisory Group

Paige started her journey to financial independence at 45 with student loans, negative net worth, and an average income in Los Angeles—yet she'll reach FI by 2025. Sam lives on $12,000 per year in the same expensive city and champions "retiring often" instead of early retirement. Together, they prove that every excuse about FI being impossible is just a limiting belief waiting to be shattered. Key Topics Discussed Introduction and Context 00:00:00 Brad provides context for this 2017 episode, explaining how Paige challenged their limiting belief about achieving FI in high cost of living areas. Paige's FI Discovery 00:05:00 Paige shares how she discovered FI at 44 after getting her first 'real' job, introduced by Sam to Mr. Money Mustache, and started her journey with negative net worth. Sam's Early FI Journey 00:15:00 Sam discusses how his parents automated investing for him, the importance of starting early, and his approach to 'retiring often' instead of just early retirement. Living on $12,000/Year in LA 00:25:00 Sam breaks down his extraordinarily low burn rate in Los Angeles, including creative housing solutions, no car payments, and extreme DIY lifestyle. The Alley Will Provide 00:35:00 Paige and Sam discuss their non-minimalist approach to possessions, finding everything from vacuum cleaners to furniture in alleys and thrift stores. Housing Arbitrage and The DIY House 00:45:00 Discussion of how they purchased a house with a gas leak for $475k in LA, using Sam's DIY skills to make it work despite traditional financing challenges. Breaking Down Limiting Beliefs 00:55:00 Paige addresses common excuses for not pursuing FI: late start, student loans, high cost of living, average income, and shows how she's overcoming each. Path to FI by 2025 01:05:00 Paige outlines her concrete plan to reach FI with less than $500k, leveraging the age 55 rule, catch-up contributions, and eventual Social Security. Hot Seat Round 01:15:00 Rapid-fire questions covering favorite blogs, articles, life hacks, biggest mistakes, and advice for their younger selves. Notable Quotes "The alley will provide." — Paige "Don't retire early, retire often." — Sam "The best time to start investing was twenty years ago. The second best time is today." — Sam "Earning more, but still living on thirty, I feel so much freer. It feels so different." — Paige "Forgive yourself for not having done it sooner. Because if you get hung up on that, you're just going to get stuck." — Sam Key Takeaways Calculate your own FI number using 25x your annual expenses, then work backwards to determine your timeline If you have kids, automate investing for them early—open accounts and make saving the default, not a decision Explore creative housing solutions in your area: roommates, house hacking, or arbitraging neighborhoods for lower rent Learn one new DIY skill per month using YouTube—start with something currently costing you money (car maintenance, home repairs) If you're over 50, maximize catch-up contributions to retirement accounts and research the age 55 rule for your 401(k) Track where free resources appear in your community—thrift stores, community boards, bulk trash days, online marketplaces Set up automatic transfers to investment accounts to remove decision fatigue and make saving the default Resources and Links ChooseFI Episode 041 (original) Mr. Money Mustache Blog Mad Fientist Blog Big ERN (Early Retirement Now) Jim Collins stock series Frugal Woods Personal Capital YouTube (DIY learning) Jocko Willink podcast

EP402: You Are Allowed to Rest Without Earning ItIn this episode of Your Quiet Moment, we explore the radical idea that rest is not a reward for productivity — it's a birthright.

That the invisible weights you carry — mental load, emotional labor, quiet anxiety — don't disqualify you from peace. And that giving yourself permission to simply be is not laziness, but wisdom.Tonight's affirmations:• I am allowed to rest without earning it• I am allowed to pause without guilt• My worth is not measured by my output• Stillness is not laziness, it is wisdom• I deserve rest because I exist, not because I proved somethingTake this softness with you.

You don't have to finish everything, check every box, or prove your worth before you're allowed to sit down and breathe.We talk about the guilt that follows us even when we stop, the cultural belief that rest must be earned, and the simple, powerful act of doing nothing without apology. Your lola knew it. Your body knows it. It's time you did too.This episode includes a guided breathwork session and affirmations to help you give yourself permission to rest — not after, not when, but now.Affirmations:• Rest is not a reward I have to earn• I am enough without my productivity• My body deserves gentleness, not punishment• Today I choose rest because I deserve it#YourQuietMoment #SelfCompassion #Rest #MentalHealth #Breathwork #Affirmations #SelfCare #PodcastDISCLAIMER

Send us Fan MailWe're on vacation this week, so we're re-running one of our favorite April conversations. It still speaks to our current series on brand in local, and a live panel on local digital brand strategy follows next week.Cyrus Shepard (founder of Zyppy) joins David Mihm and Mike Blumenthal to unpack what the Google antitrust trial, the leaked patents, and the API leak revealed about how Google really ranks: user click data. They walk through the three signals that matter — clicks, long clicks, and the "last longest click" — why brand search keeps correlating with rankings, and what AI Overviews are doing to the click ecosystem, including how local businesses can still earn (and satisfy) the click.Practical throughout: consolidating reviews and booking onto owned surfaces, using Search Console's branded-query filter as an AI-Overviews scorecard, and why a too-clickable title tag quietly costs you traffic.Be sure to listen to our series on branding.Subscribe to our newsletters and other content at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

What happens when the richest family in America becomes so obsessed with status that their fortune disappears in just a few generations?   Building a successful business is only part of the leadership challenge. Using Fortune's Children by Arthur T. Vanderbilt II as a case study, Bradley Hartmann explores how the pursuit of status, prestige, and external validation can erode trust, weaken family relationships, and ultimately destroy even the greatest fortunes. The episode offers practical leadership lessons for anyone who wants their success to create a lasting legacy rather than become an end in itself.   In this episode you'll learn Why status can become an addiction that quietly undermines leadership, decision-making, and long-term fulfillment. Leadership lessons from Cornelius and Billy Vanderbilt on trust, succession, family dynamics, and the danger of judging people's potential too early. How to build a business and legacy centered on relationships, purpose, and lasting value instead of prestige and external validation.    Discover why one of history's greatest fortunes disappeared and how the lessons can help you build a business, family, and legacy that truly lasts.   At Bradley Hartmann & Company, we help construction teams improve sales, leadership,  and communication by reducing miscommunication, strengthening teamwork, and bridging language gaps between English and Spanish speakers.

EP350: You Can Rest Without Earning ItIn this episode of Your Quiet Moment, we explore the radical idea that rest is not something you earn — it is something you deserve simply for being alive. You do not need to finish everything first. You do not need to prove your worth through productivity. Rest is a right, not a reward.We breathe together through a gentle breathwork practice and repeat affirmations to remind you that your worth is not measured by what you accomplish.AFFIRMATIONS:• I rest because I am human, not because I have earned it.• My worth is not measured by my productivity.• I deserve peace simply because I exist.• I give myself permission to slow down.• There is nothing I need to prove in this moment.• I honor my need for rest without guilt.• I am allowed to pause in the middle of everything.• Stillness is not laziness — it is wisdom.• I choose to treat myself with the same compassion I would offer a friend.• I am enough, right here, right now, exactly as I am.#YourQuietMoment #Rest #SelfCompassion #Breathwork #Affirmations #Mindfulness #Peace #EnoughAsIAm #PodcastDISCLAIMER

Fresh out of the studio, recorded in Singapore, Steve Clayton, Senior Vice President and Chief Communications Officer at Cisco, joins us to discuss what it takes for AI to scale inside enterprises globally. Steve argues that narrative belongs at the top of the AI pyramid, not the bottom — in an era when models generate more material than any organisation can absorb, the story a company can credibly tell becomes the scarce asset, not the technology itself. He explains why the truth lies in the field rather than at global headquarters, how regional dynamics reshape where a story lands, and walks through Cisco's advances in silicon and quantum computing networking. Showing a real customer deployment, he argues, is what earns permission to talk about security and trust at all. Last but not least, he shares what great look like for Cisco to build their story in the age of AI. "Take your phone and switch it into airplane mode and see how much you can do on your phone. Very little. You can use the calculator, but you can't use an AI model. You can't surf the web, you can't send messages. And people get excited about GPUs and data centers and models and applications and devices. But sitting at the center of all of that is the network. And that's what Cisco is all about. So that's our job, is to help people understand the value of the network and to realize that AI, as exciting as it is, it simply doesn't happen without the network." - Steve Clayton, SVP & Chief Communications Officer, CiscoProfile: Steve Clayton, SVP & Chief Communications Officer, Cisco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevecla/Friday Note Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-friday-thing-7412856034161229824/Episode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by Steve Clayton from Cisco[00:30] Introduction: Steve Clayton from Cisco[02:13] Why storytelling began around the campfire[02:55] Telling stories about impact, not technology[03:43] Why the AI debate over-indexes on models[04:51] The airplane mode test for AI dependence[06:17] Steve inverts the pyramid, narrative on top[07:04] Communicating without leading with the technology[07:49] Breaking through by doing the opposite[08:37] Why "content" has become a bad word[09:59] Audience-first: meeting policymakers where they are[11:10] The trap of filling the pipeline[11:34] Attention, not creativity, is the scarce resource[12:15] Curation and judgment against AI slop[12:51] We are not entitled to people's attention[13:26] Silicon One, the Cisco business nobody expects[14:26] Cisco's universal quantum switch at room temperature[14:57] Balancing ambition against credibility[16:08] Show the possible, do not just describe it[16:35] Earning permission to talk security and trust[17:18] The truth lies in the field[18:16] McLaren F1 and Networking Academy stories[19:12] The question Steve wishes people would ask[20:56] The Friday Thing: human first draft, AI editor[21:26] Humans create the novel ideas, AI supports[22:07] What Cisco should mean to business and to family[23:21] ClosingPodcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

“There's nowhere left to hunt.”It's a phrase you hear all the time. Public land is crowded, hunting leases are expensive, and finding quality private ground can feel nearly impossible.But what if one of the best ways to gain access isn't found online or through a lease? What if it starts with simply knocking on a door?For generations, hunters built opportunities one conversation at a time. They introduced themselves, earned trust, accepted “no” with respect, and proved they were the kind of people a landowner wanted to have around. Somewhere along the way, that skill became a lost art.Today, we're talking about door knocking for hunting permission—how to make a great first impression, the mistakes that instantly ruin your chances, and how to build relationships that can lead to hunting opportunities for years to come.Because finding a place to hunt isn't always about finding more land. Sometimes it's about becoming the kind of hunter someone is willing to say “yes” to.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- Use Code UPO10 to save 10%

Parker White is a Founding Contributor of Apyx.Is STRC back? Saylor's flagship BTC-backed dividend-paying instrument has had a rough summer, trading more than 10% below par since mid-June, until this week. It's been a full on panic of investors asking what comes next.In this episode, Parker walks us through why STRC exists in the first place, why it's often misunderstood, and how it can fully restore investor confidence to get back to par ($100). He covers what Apyx does to distribute STRC exposure onchain, what happened with Apyx's own apyUSD/apxUSD and what's been improved since then. He also explains why DeFi composability makes STRC exponentially more powerful onchain than it is in a brokerage account.------

YQM EP314: You Can Rest Without Earning ItIn this episode of Your Quiet Moment, we explore the deeply ingrained belief that rest must be earned — that we need to justify every moment of stillness by first proving we've done "enough." But rest isn't a reward. It's a necessity. Just as your lungs demand breath without checking your productivity, your mind and body demand quiet without asking permission.

EP306: You Can Rest Without Earning ItIn this episode of Your Quiet Moment, we talk about the guilt that comes with resting — the voice that says you haven't done enough yet, that rest is a reward you have to earn. But rest isn't a luxury. It's a requirement. You don't need to justify taking a break. You don't need to complete every item on your to-do list before you close your eyes. Rest is as fundamental as breathing, as necessary as eating, as non-negotiable as the turning of the earth.We explore how our culture treats rest like something you have to deserve, and how that belief keeps us running on empty. The truth is that rest doesn't just restore your body — it restores your mind. The most creative, most alive version of you isn't the one that works eighteen hours a day. It's the one that works with intention and rests with equal intention.Tonight's affirmations:• I do not need to earn the right to rest.• Rest is not a reward. It is a necessity.• My body deserves care, not just my achievements.• I am allowed to stop, even when the work is not done.• Rest does not make me lazy. It makes me whole.• I give myself permission to pause without guilt.• My worth is not measured by my productivity.• I am more than what I produce.Timestamps:0:00 — Opening1:30 — Settling In3:30 — The Theme7:00 — Breathwork9:00 — Affirmations10:30 — Closing#yourquietmoment #rest #selfcare #selfcompassion #breathing #affirmations #gentle #encouragement #podcastDISCLAIMER

Two hundred and fifty episodes. Five years. When I hit record on episode one, I had no audience and no idea what I was doing. I just showed up, and then I did it again the next week. That's the whole secret, and it's the same one I see in every esthetician building their business: the slow, unglamorous work of showing up before anyone's watching, investing in your craft before you feel ready, and building trust one relationship at a time. In this milestone episode, I'm sharing what these five years actually taught me, and why I'm convinced you're further along than you give yourself credit for. Thank you for being here, all 250 episodes of it.

Your Quiet Moment — EP269: You Are Allowed to Rest Without Earning ItIn this episode, we explore the deep belief that rest must be earned through productivity — and why that belief is not truth, but conditioning. You do not need to exhaust yourself before you deserve a moment of peace. Rest is not the opposite of productivity; it is the foundation of it. You are allowed to rest because you exist, and that is more than enough.✨ AFFIRMATIONS• I am allowed to rest without earning it.• My worth is not measured by my productivity.• I give myself permission to be still.• Rest is not laziness. It is wisdom.• I deserve peace, even in the middle of unfinished things.⏱ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Welcome & Opening01:00 — The Belief That Rest Must Be Earned03:00 — Rest Is the Foundation, Not the Opposite05:00 — Claimed Rest vs Earned Rest07:00 — Breathwork: Permission to Rest08:00 — Affirmations

The conversation reflects the information and circumstances as they were at the time of recording.In part two of this crossover episode, Lindsie picks up where she left off, confronting the question at the center of it all: Is love enough when the life surrounding it no longer feels sustainable?As the realities of blending families, finances, custody schedules, and ongoing legal conflict become impossible to ignore, Lindsie opens up about reaching her breaking point. But one heated Valentine's weekend conversation changes everything, turning an already complicated relationship into a very public heartbreak. What followed were accusations, receipts, Reddit theories, and a level of betrayal that extended far beyond the relationship itself.Kail and Lindsie unpack what happens when private pain becomes public, how children and co-parents inevitably become part of the fallout, and the impossible tension between still loving someone and no longer trusting them. Lindsie reflects on resentment, forgiveness, and realizing that sometimes the hardest person to walk away from is the one you're still in love with.To listen to Part One of this conversation head over to The Southern TeaGet your Fatherless Behavior Tour Tickets hereFor full videos head to www.youtube.com/@KailandtheChaosTo send in your Foul Plays email us at info@coffeeconvos.comThank you for checking out our sponsors!RoBody: Find out if you're covered for free at ro.co/coffeeconvosDirect TV: Go to directv.com/genrepacks and sign up today.Figs: Go to wearfigs.com and use code FIGSRX for 15% off your first order - code FIGSRX.Earnin: Download EarnIn on the App Store or Google Play.
