In this episode, Mike and Ben break down one of the most important topics for long-term success in the Amazon Influencer Program: staying consistent without burning yourself out.Consistency looks different for everyone, and the key is finding a pace you can realistically maintain long-term. We talk about what burnout actually is, why it happens, and how it often shows up as creative fatigue rather than laziness. Whether it's pushing too hard, reviewing products you're not excited about, or feeling discouraged when earnings don't match effort, burnout can slow down even the most motivated creators.We share practical ways to reduce decision fatigue, including sourcing products you already own, checking your Amazon order history, and focusing on items you have real experience with. These types of videos are often easier to create and more valuable to viewers because they come from genuine use.We also discuss how to use your performance data to guide your decisions. Instead of guessing, you can look at your reports, identify which videos and product angles are working, and replicate those patterns. This helps increase your dollars per video over time and shifts your focus toward quality and intentional content instead of chasing volume.Another major theme in this episode is understanding the natural ups and downs of earnings. We talk about seasonality, why slower months happen, and how planning ahead for major events like Prime Day and Q4 can make a significant difference in your long-term results.We also cover the importance of focusing your efforts instead of trying to grow on every platform at once. For most creators, the best move is to establish a strong foundation on Amazon first, then expand to platforms like YouTube and Facebook once you have momentum.Whether you're feeling burned out, stuck, or just trying to find a better rhythm, this episode will help you build a more sustainable and effective content strategy.________________________JOIN THE COMMUNITYIf you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, and honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator's Leverage Guild was built for exactly that.Learn more and join here:Creator's Leverage GuildWORK 1-ON-1 WITH MIKE AND BENGet personalized guidance on content strategy, monetization, brand deals, and scaling your creator business.• Book a 1-hour coaching call• Save with a 4-session coaching packageSign Me Up!_________________________JOIN OUR FREE FACEBOOK COMMUNITYConnect with other Amazon Influencers and content creators, ask questions, and stay up to date on what is working right now.Amazon Influencer Success Facebook Group_________________________TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR CREATORSViral VueMake smarter content decisions and grow faster.Try Viral Vue hereUse code STRAHL10 for 10% off for lifeOinkTrack earnings and performance across platforms.Try Oink hereUse code STRAHL10 for 10% off for lifeDescriptEdit podcasts and videos faster and easier.Check out Descript hereAffiliate links.

This week, I discuss my review of Peacock's Super Bowl stream, which was executed flawlessly, along with some of the limited viewership numbers released to date. I also detail the new live TV bundles from YouTube TV, the launch of HBO Max in the UK and Ireland and a new bundle from Sky that includes Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, and Hayu. I cover earnings results from Roku (full-year revenue up 15%), AMC Networks (AMC+ price increase), Optimum (lost 49,000 pay-TV subs), Amagi (which had its IPO last month) and positive earnings from Fastly and Cloudflare, with Fastly stock up 116% in the week of earnings.Finally, with the hyperscalers projected to collectively spend close to $700 billion in capex in 2026, I break down what we are seeing in the bond market for their capital raise, the risks, and why analysts expect free cash flow to plummet this year.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media
Peter Tuchman reports from the NYSE after a wild week ending on Friday the 13th/Valentine's Day. He says the Dow closed up around 49,500, inching back toward 50,000 after Thursday's significant, broad-based selloff, while buyers stepped in with intent on solid volume (about 1.4B shares) and strong advances over declines. He notes transports and industrials were up, tech remained under pressure, and he discusses anxiety around the AI narrative while arguing the tech trade is pausing rather than broken. He adds CPI came in a bit lower than expected, earnings have been softer, and more clarity is needed from upcoming economic data, inflation/employment updates, interest-rate-cut expectations, and political headlines. He mentions gold and silver had surged then pulled back, crypto remains under pressure, and margin calls may be forcing some selling elsewhere. He closes with Valentine's Day wishes and a reminder that a three-day market closure can create added weekend uncertainty. 00:00 Einstein of Wall Street Intro from the NYSE Floor 00:50 Friday the 13th Market Close: Dow Near 50K, SPY Recap 01:13 Today's Bounce After the Selloff: Volume, Breadth & Sector Check 01:55 AI/Tech Anxiety vs. the Bigger Bull Narrative 03:17 What's Driving Uncertainty: CPI, Earnings, and Lack of Clarity 03:46 Looking Ahead: February Catalysts, Fed/White House Headlines 04:16 Gold, Silver, Crypto Pressure & Spillover Into Stocks 04:44 Valentine's Day Sign-Off + 3-Day Weekend Warning 05:20 Final Goodbye: Trade Like Einstein Closing Remarks All investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal.

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Ryan Telford, Head of Evidence-Based Research at MicroCapClub, where he breaks down why headline profitability and earnings beats can be misleading, and how investors should instead focus on quality of earnings—cash flow support, reinvestment discipline, and earnings stability—along with dilution risk as the true predictors of performance. We discuss the data showing how high-quality earners significantly outperform low-quality peers globally, why many profitable microcaps still underperform after strong quarters, and how looming equity raises can act as a hidden “tax” on shareholder returns. We mention a number of companies and sectors during this conversation, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.

Zach Warring and Mackenzie Peterson break down DraftKings (DKNG) earnings as prediction markets gain popularity. The stock fell over 10% after the report, despite record-breaking revenue. Mackenzie points out it missed on EPS and notes a flatter trend for long-term growth, saying it looks “choppy” from here. She argues seasonality is impacting results as well. Zach thinks management is “doing the right thing” by being conservative and calls this pullback a buying opportunity. They both discuss how prediction markets are impacting betting stocks and whether DraftKings will join that business.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Every cycle produces a new word soup. Epstein. Earnings. Voter ID. Red versus blue. Bull versus bear. It is all noise until you decide what you are actually measuring. Signal keeping means separating outrage from data. Markets move on liquidity, rates, earnings, and positioning, not hashtags. Politics moves on incentives, turnout, and power, not trending clips. The trick is not choosing a tribe. It is choosing a framework. Filter inputs. Define variables. Demand evidence. Ignore adrenaline. The loudest narrative rarely carries the most weight. Discipline beats drama. Signal beats noise. Own the thesis. Own the risk. Own the decision.

This week, we examine signs of economic cooling and a more demanding market backdrop. Private labor market reports from ADP, Revelio Labs, and Challenger, Gray and Christmas point to slowing hiring and softer demand for workers. Motor vehicle sales also weakened, and we argue the slowdown reflects more than poor weather, with a slowing consumer playing a larger role. Finally, we review recent earnings in the technology sector. While positive surprises remain common, markets have often reacted negatively. At today's elevated valuations, investors appear far less willing to reward results that merely meet or slightly beat expectations.

Adam Coons and Ron Westfall break down Cisco (CSCO) earnings as the stock falls more than 10% post-report. Ron thinks that they're in a “solid position further out,” expecting them to take advantage of AI spending this year. Adam thinks the big story is margins, as they saw a decline in gross margins due to rising memory costs and expect this to be a continuing issue.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

U.S. stocks give up an initial bounce as investors digest a mixed jobs report - the headline figure more than double expectations but growth for last year revised lower. German industrial giant Siemens raises its outlook after posting a 10% jump in first quarter orders, but Mercedes full year earnings more than halve as the automaker takes a €1 billion hit from tariff costs. And in Japan, Softbank notches a fourth straight quarter of profit, boosted by rising valuations of its stakes in AI giants Nvidia and Open AI.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
