In this episode of FYI, Daniel Maguire and Tasha Keeney speak with J. Clay Sell, CEO of X-energy, about the company's approach to reinventing nuclear power with advanced small modular reactors. Sell explains X-energy's TRISO fuel and helium-cooled reactor design, why the company believes safety and repeatable construction can drive nuclear costs lower, and how regulatory reform is accelerating deployment. They also discuss X-energy's partnership with Amazon, the role of AI in nuclear engineering and licensing, competition with China, supply-chain constraints, and Sell's vision for making nuclear power abundant, affordable, and easy to buy.Key Points From This Episode:00:00:00 Highlights and intro 00:02:58 Clay Sell's background and X-energy's goal of reinventing how nuclear is deployed 00:05:23 Why a pebble-bed, high-temperature gas-cooled design — and moving nuclear down the cost curve 00:10:09 TRISO fuel, helium coolant, and why a reactor that can't melt down needs fewer safety systems 00:16:44 Building a fuel business alongside the reactor business, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license for commercial fuel fabrication 00:20:01 Why Sell's believes regulation is no longer the main constraint — construction execution is 00:24:00 Amazon's commitment to five gigawatts, and why X-energy is chasing nth-of-a-kind scale over being first 00:28:37 Earning community support and social license for plants and data centers 00:31:53 Applying AI to nuclear development with Amazon Web Services (AWS), NVIDIA, Idaho National Lab, and the Department of Energy (DOE)00:38:40 Competing with China on advanced reactors, supply-chain buildout, and nuclear as a routine option within a decadeEditing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com)

Sometimes, people tell me that as they are trying to save their marriage, they actually feel like they are trying to earn back the love of a spouse.  They want to know if that is what it really is -- earning back the love (and even trust). The short answer is NO, that is not the goal. A slightly longer answer is that if you are working to earn back love, you are also working on building a unsustainable and not-very-healthy relationship. That is my topic for this week's Save The Marriage Podcast:  why you are NOT trying to earn back your spouse's love, why that approach is problematic, AND what to do instead. Your marriage can be saved.  But not by trying to earn back your spouse's love. Can the love return to your marriage?  Absolutely. But that doesn't mean it is the goal of the process. (Love isn't earned.  It is given.) RESOURCES Connection and Marriage Building A WE Forgiveness and Marriage Save The Marriage System

Mandate wants changes to the 2018 Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act to improve workers’ circumstances and opportunities to earn more money.

What happens when you know how to do something, but pressure makes it difficult to actually do it?Certified Mental Performance Consultant Zoran Stojković has spent more than 15 years helping people perform under pressure, from professional athletes and Olympic hopefuls to RCAF pilot trainees.In Part 1, Zoran shares the path that took him from competitive tennis and high-performance sport to 2 Canadian Forces Flying Training School in Moose Jaw. He explains what surprised him about the pressures facing student pilots, how he earned credibility as a civilian working inside military aviation, and why relationships became central to his work.We also hear how Zoran supported aircrew during Jaw South in Texas, how mental performance coaching became embedded in the flying environment, and what aviation taught him about the difference between high stakes and real stakes.CHAPTERS(00:00:00) Introduction, welcome and bio(00:01:52) What role did sport play growing up?(00:04:28) Why can we perform in practice but struggle under pressure?(00:09:41) When did mental performance become a career?(00:13:03) What did Zoran get wrong when he started coaching?(00:15:21) What kind of pressure are Olympians under?(00:18:35) Helping a professional tennis player turn things around(00:20:22) Going from athletes to pilots(00:23:23) Walking into 2CFFTS for the first time(00:26:53) What surprised Zoran about the pressure on student pilots?(00:30:13) High stakes versus real stakes(00:31:37) Earning credibility in aviation as an outsider(00:34:17) What happens when pilots don't buy into mental performance coaching?(00:38:44) A pilot success story(00:42:36) Deploying with Jaw South(00:47:27) What is Jaw South, and where did Zoran fit in?(00:51:57) Helping a student in crisis before a flight(00:53:49) Making progress in a slow-moving institution(00:57:03) Meeting Colonel Jeremy Hansen(01:01:30) Advice for a student pilot before a testEXPLORE THE LOGBOOKMore stories from RCAF and mission aviation pilots:The Pilot Project Podcast episode archive:https://podpilotproject.transistor.fm/episodes

Ken and Anthony open Browns Victory Monday by asking whether two big fourth quarters are enough to start trusting Deshaun Watson, with callers weighing in on Watson, Todd Monken and what happens at quarterback if the Browns keep winning. They also laugh about Monken's backwards postgame hat, worn as a nod to defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg, and which hats he should try next. Ken admits he stayed in pure fan mode after the win, so loud at home that his wife asked if he had bet on the game.

Welcome to The Hangar Z Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS, in partnership with Valor Plus.Celebrating the sixth anniversary of the Hangar Z Podcast, host Jack Schonely steps into the lead chair, alongside Jon Gray, for a comprehensive two-part panel dedicated to one of the most critical, yet frequently overlooked, elements of airborne public safety: Internal and external unit marketing. Joined by industry veteran Terry Miyauchi of TM Consulting, Sgt Wade Bourassa of the Saskatoon Police Service, and Kyle Fields, integrated marketing manager at Bell, the group dives deep into what it truly takes to justify, protect, and expand an aviation program in today's political and fiscal landscape.Far beyond the day-to-day tactical missions, long-term operational survival hinges on shifting away from the traditional "quiet professional" mindset to actively educate decision-makers, city councils, command staff, and the citizens they serve.Across this special series, the panel explores how to craft compelling narratives out of raw data, revealing why highlighting operational limitations and missed missions can often carry far more political leverage than routine success stories. The discussion unpacks practical, field-tested marketing strategies, ranging from using short-form video and strategic social media engagement to cut through red tape, to breaking down bureaucratic walls by flying key city stakeholders including finance, IT, economic development, and fire services. Crucially, the conversation reinforces that no public relations campaign can survive without baseline operational credibility. Drawing parallels to elite special operations aviation, the panel emphasizes that air support is fundamentally about customer service: Cultivating ground-unit trust, staying in your lane, and recognizing that word-of-mouth reputation among patrol officers will always remain an air unit's most powerful advocate.Thank you to our sponsors Airbus, MD Helicopters and Wysong Enterprises.

In this episode, Emily interviews Dr. Emily Garbinsky, an associate professor of marketing at Cornell who studies how couples behave with their money. Emily first reviews the common models for structuring money within couples and the surprising effect the choice has on relationship satisfaction. Emily and Emily then discuss income disparities, such as those between a PhD trainee and a higher-earning partner, and how power dynamics can affect how couples choose to split expenses. Finally, Emily shares her thoughts about how to adapt when an income disparity shrinks or even flips and the unique career challenge facing academics and their partners.

The History of Fatphobia, Diet Culture & Why Your Body Was Never the Problem with Paula D. AtkinsonThis conversation lit me up from start to finish.Paula D. Atkinson is a body liberation psychotherapist, a body justice professor, and someone who has lived in every size of body: from almost dying of anorexia to being labelled morbidly obese, and everywhere in between. She created a course at George Washington University on the history of fatphobia, eating disorders, and health as a moral imperative, and how all of it intersects with white supremacy, capitalism and patriarchy. She is also writing a book. And she is one of the most ragefully, lovingly clear voices I have ever had on this podcast.This episode is for you if:You want to understand where fatphobia actually came from and why it has nothing to do with healthYou are in recovery and still struggling to understand why thinness felt like safetyYou want the historical and political context behind diet culture so you can be genuinely free from it, not just recovered from itYou have been waiting for permission to be angry about all of thisYou are ready to stop contributing to your own oppressionIn this episode, we cover:✨ Paula's personal story: born almost eleven pounds, almost died of anorexia at seventeen, homecoming queen, and still felt completely empty✨ Where fatphobia actually began: the eugenics movement, white supremacy, the BMI, and how all of it was a backdoor form of racism when skin colour alone was no longer enough✨ The insane closed loop of diet culture: selling us starvation, which biologically causes obsession with food and weight gain, and then selling us more starvation✨ How the obsession with thinness keeps women too busy and preoccupied to access their actual power✨ Why "I am no longer willing to contribute to my own oppression" is one of the most revolutionary things a woman can say✨ How the rage we turn inward on our bodies needs to go outward instead, and why that rage is sacred✨ Why every time you hate your thighs, you are participating in the oppression of every person in a bigger body than yours✨ Earning as a white supremacist concept, and why you do not have to earn your needs being met by being thin or pretty✨ The history of body ideals across the twentieth century and why whatever is hardest to achieve is always what gets sold to us next✨ GLP-1 drugs, the death and resurrection of body positivity, and why corporations cannot give us liberation✨ What to actually do when you look in the mirror and your head goes straight to fear and self-abandonment✨ Why your inner child, that ten year old girl who saw through everything, deserves to be reclaimedPowerful quotes from the episode:

In this instalment of our Lessons Relearned in Law recap series, Scott revisits four past conversations that tackle a question raised at nearly every legal conference and within The Lodge community: how do lawyers earn a genuine seat at the top table?The episode opens with Steph Lopes, Chief Legal Officer at Volt, on the idea that you're a business leader as well as a lawyer — the business needs more than just your legal brain. Scott builds on this by noting that a recent report found around 45% of GC and CLO appointments are internal versus 55% external, and that visibility with the people around your immediate stakeholders is often the deciding factor.Next is Emilie Mathieu, General Counsel at Checkout.com, whose episode explored how GC appointments really get made. The practical takeaway: the people most likely to open your next door don't necessarily sit within legal, so mapping your stakeholders, picking two to genuinely help this quarter, and being deliberately visible in your work matters more than traditional networking.The third clip features Anoop Joshi, at the time of recording Chief Trust Officer at Trustpilot and now SVP, Legal at Airalo, on the discipline of "it starts with a table" — mapping the key elements, issues and owners of a project before diving in — and progress over perfection: get work to 80% and ship it rather than waiting for it to feel ready.The final clip is Katja Fenton, General Counsel at Fugro in the Netherlands, recorded shortly after she stepped into the role, on reframing imposter syndrome as a sign of growth rather than something to suppress — a feeling that shows up precisely because you're stretching into something new.Scott closes with the same thread running through all four: nobody lands on the exec table by accident — most had to ask for it, and being visible is what gets you there.This episode is brought to you in partnership with Wordsmith AI — the legal AI platform built specifically for in-house teams.Resources & Links Mentioned in This EpisodeRegister your interest in joining The Lodge In-house Legal Community: https://bit.ly/TheLodgebyHBHeriot Brown: https://heriotbrown.com/Wordsmith AI: https://www.wordsmith.ai/Legal Engineering Project Application form: https://wordsmith.fillout.com/legalengprojectListen to the PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/61xrrepWuWxNsnXIaYxsj5Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lessons-i-learned-in-law/id1563397804YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@HeriotBrownInHouseRecruitmentConnect with Heriot Brown https://heriotbrown.com/About Heriot Brown:At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

For the first time we get Kyle's side of the last 18 months: watching Steph cry that nothing was working while he could see the rock finally starting to roll downhill, and the text he sent her mid-grind: I don't want you on your deathbed on your computer responding to clients. They revisit the clinic expansion that almost broke them as parents and partners, the moment Ed Mylett told Steph to stop negotiating with herself, and the next unlock they're naming out loud: a full send into regulation.

A liberal arts degree can provide broad academic freedom, but that freedom can leave students without the career structure employers expect after graduation.In this episode, Lisa Marker-Robbins examines the gap between academic exploration and career development, especially among liberal arts graduates who leave college with strong grades and academic accomplishments but struggle to get interviews.She explains why career readiness takes more than a degree and how students can start building professional identity, skills, and evidence while still in school. This episode also looks at how families can support young people in taking ownership of the process and building a bridge between education and employment.In this episode, you'll discover:The difference between academic exploration and career developmentHow degree structure can shape a student's career preparationRecognizing the growing importance of professional identity and evidence of skillsBuilding career development alongside college exploration for students and familiesKey Takeaways: Strong grades and academic accomplishments show a student can succeed in college, but employers also need evidence of skills, relevant experience, and the ability to create value at work.Graduates can submit 80 or 100 applications without an interview when they lack career evidence, leaving them unsure what jobs to target, with resumes lacking skills and little professional identity.Liberal arts students can build career readiness through career awareness, exploring aligned careers, and using real-world experiences to validate interests and build proof of skills.Waiting until after graduation can create financial and emotional pressure, but students can start building their career bridge at any stage because “it's never too late” to start. “The less career structure your degree provides, the more career structure you need to intentionally create for yourself.” – Lisa Marker-RobbinsEpisode References:Learn more about Launch Career Clarity at https://flourishcoachingco.com/course#237 How to Tell If a College Will Prepare Students for Career Success with Julia Lapan, UVA: https://flourishcoachingco.com/237#238 The “Why This Major Essay” Isn't Really About Your Major: https://flourishcoachingco.com/238University of Michigan to switch to pass/fail grades for first-semester students: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/11/university-of-michigan-pass-fail-grading-systemGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: THE CAREER IDENTIFICATION COMPASS: How To Be Certain Your 15 To 25 Year Old is On The Right Path to Launch With Confidence–Not Confusion: flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/flourishcoachingco/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

Why More B2B Sales Outreach Isn't Creating More SalesEpisode SummaryAI has made it possible for B2B sales teams to research prospects, write emails and contact thousands of potential customers faster than ever.But is faster outreach actually producing better sales results?In this episode of A Seat at the Table, host Jane Singer speaks with Praise Obia, a B2B sales professional experienced in building outbound pipelines from scratch across SaaS and fintech markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.Praise explains why she moved away from the traditional high-volume "spray and pray" sales model toward context-driven outreach built around understanding the buyer.They discuss why American sales playbooks don't always translate to European or African markets, how to build trust with multiple stakeholders, where AI fits into modern sales prospecting—and why using AI without human insight can actually make sales teams less effective.Key Topics1. Why B2B Sales Strategies Don't Work Across Every MarketSelling in the US, Europe and Africa requires different approaches.Praise found that African markets can be highly relationship-driven.  European buyers have lower tolerance for cold interruption and require broader internal consensus.The lesson: companies expanding internationally can't assume a sales playbook that worked in one market will automatically work somewhere else.2. Why Multi-Threading Matters in Enterprise SalesInstead of relying on one decision maker, Praise recommends identifying the buying group surrounding a deal.Who influences the decision? Who controls budget? Who has technical concerns? Who can help move the deal forward internally?Building trust with multiple stakeholders can create a stronger foundation for complex B2B and enterprise sales.3. Research Before You Reach OutContext-driven selling starts with research.Praise looks at a prospect's role, recent promotions, professional history, LinkedIn activity, interests and business situation before deciding how to approach them.Different stakeholders also care about different things. A CFO may respond to financial impact, while a CTO may care about technical issues.The objective is to understand enough about the buyer to make the outreach genuinely relevant.4. Is AI Making Sales Teams Less Effective?AI can dramatically accelerate prospecting and outreach—but speed can create a new problem.“Speed without context isn't efficiency. It's just more noise at scale.”Praise argues that salespeople who allow AI to do all their research and message creation risk losing their own understanding of the customer.AI should help salespeople work faster. It shouldn't replace the thinking, research and judgment that make outreach credible.5. Stop Measuring Sales Success by VolumeSending 1,000 emails doesn't mean you've built an effective pipeline.Praise suggests replacing the question “How do I reach more people?” with a more useful one:“What do I actually understand about this specific buyer's world that justifies me showing up in their inbox at all?”The meeting itself isn't the ultimate goal. The goal is understanding the buyer well enough that they would rather speak with you than a competitor.Chapter Markers00:00 – Why outbound pipeline development is so difficult02:00 – Building a sales pipeline from scratch03:36 – How sales differs across the US, Europe and Africa06:32 – Why American sales playbooks can fail in Europe09:30 – Building an outbound pipeline for European buyers11:42 – Personalization and multi-stakeholder selling13:16 – How to provide value before speaking with a prospect17:02 – Why sales outreach needs to become more human18:04 – Using AI without creating generic outreach22:01 – Is AI making sales teams less skilled?24:27 – Faster outreach vs. deeper buyer knowledge27:47 – Replacing "spray and pray" with context-driven sales29:31 – Earning the right to contact a prospect30:31 – What really matters when building a sales pipeline33:18 – The principle that works across different marketsImportant Quotes“Urgency destroys [trust]...the deal is dead before it starts.” — Praise Obia“Speed without context isn't efficiency. It's just more noise at scale.” — Praise Obia“What do I actually understand about this specific buyer's world that justifies me showing up in their inbox at all?” — Praise Obia“Don't ask, how do I reach out to more people...how do I earn the right to reach the right person?” — Praise Obia“The meeting is just a byproduct. It's not the goal.” — Praise ObiaKey Takeaways1. More outreach isn't necessarily better outreach. In complex B2B sales, understanding fewer high-value prospects more deeply can be more useful than maximizing activity alone.2. Localize the sales motion, not just the message. Different markets have different attitudes toward cold outreach, relationships, trust and decision-making.3. Use AI to amplify human judgment—not replace it. AI can accelerate research and execution, but effective outreach still depends on understanding the buyer and providing relevant context.CONNECT WITH Praise ObiaLinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/praise-obia/ website - praiseobia.comMore About A Seat at The TableConnect with A Seat at The Table on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/seat-at-the-table-podcast/Follow Jane Singer on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-singer/SEND US A MESSAGETHE CONSISTENT MARKETING SYSTEMStop starting over again each month.

Send us Fan MailYou are making good money. So why does tax season still knock the wind out of you every year?Earning more does not automatically mean keeping more. Without a strategy, a higher income can just mean a bigger, more painful tax bill.In this episode, we have Emily Bowie, CFO of Thorne Advisors, a firm built specifically for women earning over 100K in net income. A Cash Flow Strategist with more than 15 years of experience, including her time as an audit manager in Big Four accounting, Emily co-built Thorne Advisors with founder Andrea Mason to close a gap they kept seeing: plenty of tax strategy floating around, but almost no one helping women find the actual cash to use it. She joins us to make taxes make sense, from the S corp election that saved one client a fortune to the cash leaks quietly draining businesses everywhere.Why do high-earning women still get ambushed every April? Because the books get pushed to the 11th hour. When you are juggling everything, bookkeeping only happens right before taxes are due, and by then it is too late to be strategic. You are just working with whatever you have instead of a plan.What is the difference between tax prep and tax strategy? Tax prep is the filing everyone knows, due in March or April. Tax strategy is proactive and year-round: a strategist understands the code so they can help you leverage what is actually available to you. As Emily puts it, not all tax preparers are tax strategists, so it pays to know who is really in your financial corner.When should you switch from sole prop to an S corp? Emily's benchmark is netting 100K or more. That election alone can save you money, and it unlocks strategies like an accountable plan and the Augusta Rule. The goal is not to pay yourself less, it is to pay yourself strategically. One client who waited too long overpaid roughly $70,000.Why is a big tax refund not the win it feels like?

There is a difference between what you think you deserve and what you actually earn. Effort, intention, and potential are necessary, but they do not guarantee an outcome. The marketplace responds to tangible value and results, so the better question is not what you deserve, but what you can do to make yourself impossible to ignore. Show Notes: [07:21]#1 Deserving is subjective. [12:37]#2 Earning is measured by outcomes. [16:29]#3 Replace entitlement with leverage. [20:15] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard. If your results don't match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem.   They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.

In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Lisa Fernandez, founder of Lisa Fernandez Agency, to unpack a practical, real-world approach to cold outreach that actually works.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the best trainers in homebuilding stop competing and start collaborating? Anya Chrisanthon takes you inside CoLab - the Collaborative Leadership Conference in San Antonio, where Anewgo was a proud sponsor. No sales pitches. No company names on the name tags. Just two days of honest, practical conversations about leadership - recorded live on site.Ryan Taft - why CoLab exists The co-founder on looking out at an industry full of single-company events and asking: what if trainers collaborated instead of competed? The result: an event that's about pouring into the industry - so much so that name tags don't show companies or titles. Just people talking with people. CoLab returns to San Antonio next April - if you lead anybody, it's for you.Cory Charles - resilient leadership We do a good job showing up as tough, strong leaders. But are we fueling ourselves to be resilient in the way our teams actually need? Plus the framework everyone kept quoting all weekend: the mom hat and the dad hat. When your team comes to you - do they need you to solve, or to listen?Anne Miller, Trumark Homes - one month into the VP seat The eager leadership loop: action is the proof that empowerment works. Earning trust in a new role by listening first. And the discipline of not interrupting your own loop by being unclear on roles, responsibilities, and follow-through.Omega Builders - the local builder playbook Michaela Vaughan (sales management) and Ashley Robustelli (marketing) on competing with big-box incentives as a 55-year, second-generation family builder an hour north of Austin. Their approach: lead with discovery and customer experience, sell the value of local - quality, warranty, service, resale - and use incentives as the final push, not the opening line. Plus the legacy takeaway: the sales assistant you're onboarding today could be a CEO someday.Dominic Baca, Riverside Home Builders - the coaching matrix Coach up or manage out. And a confession every leader will recognize: "I'm a huge problem solver - and that's my biggest strength and weakness." The shift from solving everyone's problems to coaching from the sidelines.Lindsey Ayala, Impact 88 - the AI wake-up call 90% of what's on a leader's plate doesn't require leadership - and AI can absorb it. The four stages of AI maturity: assistant, teammate, collaborator, trusted partner. And the stat that stunned the room: 98% of salespeople have logged into an AI tool - but roughly 70% are on free accounts. No memory. No security. Builder data at risk.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen If you always want more, you will never enjoy what you have. Have you ever thought about that? Is your striving for more causing an imbalance in life? What leaves you wanting more? Then I saw that all toil and skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor (Ecclesiastes 4:4a ESV). If envy is driving you to work more, to earn more, to have more, you need to pause and reflect. What enjoyment will you have with something if the reason you are working for it stems from envy? In fact, once you achieve this thing you may gain something even worse than the envy­­—pride. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall (Proverbs 16:18 ESV). Achieving anything that causes you to feel pride leads to fleeting satisfaction. Ecclesiastes further warns: He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income, this is also vanity (Ecclesiastes 5:10 ESV). Earning a good income and trying to better yourself is not inherently wrong, but if your toil is for the wrong reasons, you simply will never be satisfied. Perhaps you are working more hours to save for something that you need. Or, maybe you are trying for a promotion that comes with an increase in pay. Where is this desire coming from? If it comes from a genuine place, where you are not comparing yourself to others or continually chasing for more, this is not necessarily bad. It is when you are always needing more and more. Or when you are striving to keep up with other people. Hard work is valued by God when it works for his kingdom. Think of the Proverbs 31 woman. She buys and sells and rises when it is still night. She provides food for her household and for her maidens. Her lamp doesn't go out at night but she opens her hand to the poor and the needy (Proverbs 31:18,20). Hard work to gather more for yourself will never fill, but hard work that will give to the glory of the Kingdom will always feel good. We are called to see the needy and love. Think about what you are working for today. Are you striving because you are coveting? Pray today! “Lord, change my heart. Help me to see where I am striving for material things that will never fill. Help me to see how I can use my time, treasure and talent to give to those you care about the most.”

My guest is Liz Wilcox, the creator behind Email Marketing Membership — a $9/month newsletter template subscription she's kept at the same price for six years, that now generates close to half a million dollars a year. Liz built the whole thing as a single parent with no support system and no reliable internet, working from library parking lots and Lowe's lots during nap times. She launched in February 2021, kept the price at $9, maintained a 5% churn rate, and grew to over 4,400 paying members. She and her sister run the operation — no upsells, no masterminds, no group coaching. Just the membership. Then in April 2026, she quietly closed a deal to buy Smart Passive Income — the 18-year-old creator education brand Pat Flynn built from scratch. She spent five months operating as SPI's director of community before anyone outside the deal knew it had happened. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Last week, Pat and Matt told the seller's story. This week, Liz tells the buyer's. In this episode, we talk about: Why the $9 price point has worked for six years — and why she'll never raise it How she grew a half-million-dollar membership without social media, using podcasts and a 50% affiliate program What had to be true before she'd pull the trigger on buying SPI How she's thinking about merging EMM with the SPI community — and why she doesn't have the answer yet By the end of this episode, you will understand how a $9 offer can compound into a half-million-dollar business — and what it actually looks like when someone buys a legacy brand and tries to honor it.

Rich Graham spent years learning how to fight at the highest level. He earned his Trident at 20, served as a sniper with SEAL Team 10, trained in martial arts for decades, and eventually built a career teaching others how to protect themselves. But his biggest realization was that tactical skill alone doesn't make someone a complete warrior. In this episode, Rich joins Chad to take us inside his life with SEAL Teams and the experiences that shaped his Full Spectrum Warrior philosophy. They get into firearms, combatives, physical readiness, mindset, and preparedness — but also the personal cost of constantly chasing the next achievement. It's a raw and real conversation with someone who reached the summit most men dream about and discovered it still wasn't enough.

Episode 318 Pool Nation Podcast. Six years ago, we turned on the microphones to have the conversations pool pros needed. We never imagined those conversations would grow into boot camps, the Pool Nation Awards, the Women's Summit, and a headquarters built for the pool pro community. In this episode of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar De Jesus and John “JJ Flawless” look back at how it all started, the moments that made the work worth it, and the lessons learned along the way. From the early days of Instagram Live to earning the industry's trust, we share what it has taken to keep showing up—and why listening to pool pros continues to shape everything we do. We get personal about the sacrifices behind the scenes, talk honestly about mistakes and partnerships, and discuss why growing a mission takes the right people, consistency, and a willingness to change direction. We also share updates on Heritage's training at Pool Nation headquarters, the Pool Nation Awards, and the $25,000 Pool Pro Challenge. To everyone who has listened, attended a training, shared an idea, or trusted us to be part of their journey: thank you. You are the reason we are Pool Nation. Master the business. Perfect the craft.

Join The Soul of Money Voice-Note Book ClubFrom September 16–October 23, we're moving from scarcity to Sufficiency and changing our relationship with Money through Nature's wisdom.The entire experience is asynchronous in Voxer. There are no live calls, you only need 15–60 minutes a week to participate, and you don't even have to read the book.Enrollment closes Friday, September 18.***I know exactly why I want more money. Do you? And if you do, does it feel compelling to you?I've found that when Money knows where it's going, that's often when it comes.Money likes direction. It likes purpose. It likes to know what it's being invited into.In this episode, I'm sharing the reason I find most compelling and True for me, and I'm helping you think through yours.We'll explore:• My old belief that I needed a big, charitable, world-saving vision to justify wanting more money• The years I spent going to Bible college, working as a pastor, evangelizing door-to-door, tithing, volunteering, and giving everything I had to a cause I believed was the only one that truly mattered• What it means for me to now pray to a force of Love that wants Life not merely to survive, but to Flourish• Why I believe talking to the ancestors can expand our access to Intuition, God, Love, and the Wisdom already within us• What happened when I asked my ancestors how much Money they wanted me to make—and what they wanted me to do with itNow, whenever I make a plan to earn more Money, I pray blessings over it and tell it exactly where I'm going to put it.Earning more no longer feels like chasing an arbitrary number.It feels like participating in the ancient movement of Life pouring itself forward.So I want to ask you:Do you know exactly why you want more Money?Not why you're supposed to want it.Not the answer that sounds the most generous, responsible, spiritual, or impressive.What's the answer that brings your whole body alive?Maybe Money is waiting to hear where you'd like it to go.***More Ways We Can Walk Together This Season:One-On-One GuidanceWild Wellness Women's CircleInstagramFacebookFree ResourcesFree Curiosity Call

That is the exact nightmare 27 year old Chinelle Browne walked into in Brooklyn. Chinelle, a loving mom of four from Guyana, was hustling to get established in New York so her husband and kids could move over. She rented a room in Brownsville, but quickly realized the place was a dump with no hot water or reliable electricity. What she did not know was that her 42 year old landlord, Leah Cuevas, did not even own the building. She was running a shady scam and pocketing cash after the real owner died. On July 5, 2014, Chinelle confronted her and refused to pay rent for afor a house Leah didnt even own, Leah snapped. The argument turned violent, and Leah stabbed Chinelle over 30 times before chopping up her body and scattering her remains across Long Island.

John continues his conversation with Dr. Abbie Maroño. Dr. Abbie opens up about her difficult past and how she learned to keep moving forward even when things felt impossible. They also talk about the pressure to be perfect, why we should stop waiting until we feel completely ready, and how taking action can help us grow. Dr. Abbie also discusses her books, Work in Progress: The Road to Empowerment, The Journey Through Shame and The Upper Hand: Mastering Persuasion and Getting What You Want with the Science of Social Engineering. About Dr. Abbie Maroño: Dr. Abbie Maroño is a keynote speaker, behavioral scientist, and author specializing in trust, influence, and nonverbal communication. She is known for challenging conventional thinking and translating complex behavioral science into practical insights that audiences can immediately understand and apply. Her interest in human behavior did not begin in a classroom. Growing up in an unstable and traumatic home, she learned early that no one was coming to save her. At 16, she faced a choice no child should have to make: continue down a path of addiction or fight for a different future. She chose the latter. That decision sparked a lifelong fascination with why people make the choices they do and how understanding human behavior can change the course of a life. ​Earning her PhD in Psychology, Dr Abbie became a Professor of Psychology at just 23 years old. She was later recognized by the U.S. Department of State for extraordinary ability in behavioral science and named one of Central Florida's 40 Under 40 by the Orlando Business Journal. She is the creator of The Upper Hand, a proprietary framework focused on trust, influence, communication, and decision-making. Dr Abbie has trained representatives from 29 U.S. federal agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security, as well as senior leadership at INTERPOL. The U.S. Secret Service also recognized her contributions with an award for outstanding contribution to their forensic services. As a bestselling author, TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor, Court TV contributor, and media commentator, her work has been featured on BBC News, Fox News, WIRED, Reuters, Forbes Breaking News, Apple News, and many more outlets. She also provides expert witness services in matters involving behavioral analysis, nonverbal communication, and human behavior, including high-profile civil and criminal cases.

[45:34] - The best way to connect with Dr. Abbie [46:25] - Wrap-up NOTABLE QUOTES: "Struggle is a gift because it helps create things in you that weren't there before." "We don't see the work people have done to be where they are. We just see how they front." "The skills needed to deal with trauma and deal with pain are incredible life skills, and they will serve you very, very well." "I'd never wish struggle on people, but I do think it is an important character-building thing to go through the struggle." "Done is good enough. People get it done, then you can adjust. Don't adjust before you do it." "The longer we delay, the longer we don't get what we want." "Time will pass anyway. We don't do things because of the time it will take. The time will pass anyway. And then when that time has passed, you look back and you think, 'If I had done that, then I would be in a much different place right now.' So you just have to start." "Be prepared as you can, but just start." "When you admit to, 'I don't know,' 'I'm not perfect,' or 'I made a mistake,' it makes you better, and it makes you more of an expert, and it makes people actually look up to you and relate to you more."

Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote were joined by Herb Howard of The Bigs to share a Bears report live from Halas Hall.

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and interviews thought leadership strategist Peter Winick, co-author of The Thought Leadership Handbook, about what defines a thought leader and how people earn that reputation. Winick argues thought leadership is bestowed by others and requires adding a distinct perspective to a field, sharing ideas publicly through writing, speaking, and research, and having the courage to risk criticism without resorting to reckless attention-seeking. They discuss negativity bias, handling trolls, and why thought leaders shouldn't aim to please everyone but should be authentic and memorable. Winick advises elite speakers to prepare by learning audience language and needs, continually improving, and treating keynotes as the start of broader business relationships and scalable IP beyond time-for-money practices. They also cover using AI as a verified pattern-finding tool, experimenting with content, and cultivating curiosity through cross-training and new experiences.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 What Is Thought Leadership03:09 Earning the Title03:59 Courage vs Recklessness05:17 Handling Trolls and Negativity07:48 Authenticity and Standing Out11:17 Crushing the Keynote14:17 Pre Show Rituals16:20 Monetizing Intellectual Property18:23 AI as a Thought Tool22:46 Tiny Experiments That Work24:46 Curiosity as the Superpower25:43 Curiosity Habits You Can Try26:48 Closing Thanks and SubscribeHelpful Links:Peter WinickPeter Winick LinkedInThe Thought Leadership HandbookLeveraging Thought Leadership Podcast

On the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, the guys sit down with special guest Ed Mabrie for a deep dive into spiritual warfare and the return of the Old Gods. They explore how words, laws, and covenants shape spiritual battles, generational and blood curses, familiar spirits, and addiction, and how Ed believes they can be overcome through Christ. They also dive into the theory that the Old Gods were fallen angels preparing for their return through disclosure and prophecy, with an ultimate plan to replace humanity with the Nephilim, just like in the Days of Noah.

“The league is about getting better, if you don't, you are out.” -Malik Willis As NFL training camp officially wraps, now it's time to see how some of the new faces in new places approach the 2026 season. We had the privilege of sitting with one of the break out stars over the past couple years who is getting his chance to be back leading a team.  Miami's quarterback, Malik Willis, joins The Pivot for a wide-ranging conversation about the journey that has shaped him both on and off the football field — from growing up with the foundation of good parents, finding his way through college football, and eventually making his way from Tennessee to Green Bay and now Miami. Willis opens up about the highs, setbacks, lessons, and growth that have come with chasing his dream of becoming an NFL quarterback. He reflects on his college path, the experiences that helped shape his game and his mindset, and the people who kept him grounded along the way. Now entering a new chapter as the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins, Willis talks about the expectations that come with getting his opportunity to lead an NFL franchise. He discusses adjusting to a new team, a new city, and a new head coach, while embracing the responsibility and pressure that comes with being the guy under center. His bond with Coach Jeff Hafley has helped him grow into the leader the team needs especially with a young roster, specifically at wide receiver. But beyond football, the conversation gives a glimpse into the person behind the helmet. Known for his relaxed demeanor and calm presence, Willis talks about staying true to himself while navigating the noise, expectations, and scrutiny that come with playing quarterback at the highest level. From Tennessee to Green Bay to Miami, Malik Willis' story is one of perseverance, patience, family, growth, and believing in yourself when the path doesn't always go according to plan.
