In this electrifying episode, Mike dives deep into the raw and unfiltered journey of a man who built businesses in fitness, nutrition, consulting, and even popcorn… all without outside investors. From sleeping in his car for six months just to keep a dream alive, to opening multiple retail stores, gyms, and launching Rexius Nutrition, Tim's story is one of resilience, grit, and relentless self-belief. Along the way, you'll discover the pivotal role of real human connection — the kind that's built face-to-face, one handshake at a time. This isn't only about business hustle. It's about legacy. Tim credits his wife, Brittany, as the partner who fueled their explosive growth, reveals why giving employees ownership creates unstoppable teams, and reflects on the family lessons that shaped his vision. And in one jaw-dropping reveal, he shares how ignoring his wife and daughters' advice cost him a fortune…a mistake that forever changed the way he listens, leads, and adapts. This is the story of a man determined not only to build companies but to leave a mark so powerful that future generations will still be talking about it. If you've ever wondered what it takes to turn ambition into impact, this one's for you.

Pendant des siècles, rien n'a autant semé la panique en Europe que l'arrivée des Huns. Ces cavaliers venus des steppes d'Asie centrale ont marqué les esprits par leur brutalité, leur rapidité… et leur mystère. Mais qu'est-ce qui rendait les Huns si redoutés au point de devenir un symbole de terreur dans l'imaginaire collectif européen ?Apparus en Europe vers la fin du IVe siècle, les Huns franchissent le fleuve Volga aux alentours de l'an 370. En quelques années, leur avancée provoque un effet domino : des peuples germaniques fuient devant eux et se réfugient à l'intérieur des frontières de l'Empire romain. Ce mouvement massif de populations déstabilise tout l'équilibre politique de l'époque et contribue au début de la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident.Mais ce qui rendait les Huns vraiment terrifiants, c'était leur manière de combattre. Ce peuple de nomades des steppes maîtrisait l'art de la guerre à cheval comme aucun autre. Le Hun était littéralement élevé sur une selle, capable de tirer à l'arc en galopant à pleine vitesse, avec une précision redoutable. Leur armement — arcs composites, sabres recourbés, masses — était léger mais efficace, parfaitement adapté à des raids éclairs. Ils apparaissaient sans prévenir, pillaient, tuaient, et disparaissaient dans la steppe avant qu'une armée ennemie ait pu réagir.Les chroniqueurs de l'époque — souvent romains ou chrétiens — ont largement noirci leur image. Ils les décrivent comme des barbares inhumains, sales, cruels, défigurés dès l'enfance pour paraître plus effrayants. Bien sûr, ces portraits sont biaisés, mais ils témoignent de l'effet psychologique provoqué par les Huns : ils étaient l'ennemi inconnu, insaisissable, presque surnaturel.Leur chef le plus célèbre, Attila, surnommé le « fléau de Dieu », incarna cette peur à son paroxysme. Sous son commandement, les Huns mettent Rome à genoux sans même avoir besoin de la prendre. Entre 440 et 453, Attila fait trembler l'Empire romain d'Orient et d'Occident, exigeant tribut, pillant villes après villes, et imposant sa loi jusqu'aux portes de Paris.Mais après la mort d'Attila en 453, l'empire hunnique s'effondre rapidement. Leur puissance reposait en grande partie sur le charisme de leur chef et leur cohésion militaire. Une fois celui-ci disparu, les peuples qu'ils dominaient se soulèvent.Les Huns ont disparu de la carte, mais pas de la mémoire. Leur nom reste synonyme de brutalité et de chaos, symbole des forces extérieures capables de faire vaciller un monde pourtant jugé invincible. Voilà pourquoi, des siècles plus tard, le simple mot "Hun" suffit encore à faire frissonner l'Europe. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

September has been declared St Michael's month! As Kate reminds us in this sermon, remaining faithful often means resisting cultural norms and enduring challenges. Drawing on inspiring examples both biblical (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) and local (Kate Sheppard and Michael Jones), we are assured that discernment in community and trust in God's presence is the equipping we need. Gospel reading:Matthew 5:13-16Key text:Daniel 3
In this episode, Keith travels to Kentucky to interview Coach Carroll, a successful entrepreneur running two seven-figure businesses remotely. Coach Carroll shares insights on his tech and blue-collar companies, his real estate ventures, and leveraging AI for efficiency. The conversation covers his background, significant achievements, and the organizational strategies he created to keep his team aligned. He emphasizes the importance of investing in mentorship and knowledge for business success. The episode also touches on his biggest failures, the importance of helping others, and his long-term goals, including a nine-figure tech company exit. “Pay to get ahead. Stop negotiating the price of your success. Hire the mentor, hire the coach, buy the course, go to the event—pay for the knowledge others already have so you can make quantum leaps in your business.” – DJ Carroll Topics Covered: Overview of His Businesses Revenue & Business Breakdown From Lawn Care to AI: The Origin Story Organizational Strategy: Heading Adjustments Books That Shaped His Success Running Global Operations from the Command Center Advice for Entrepreneurs Starting Out Future Goals, Big Vision & Lessons from Failure Fulfillment Through Helping Others & Where to Find Him Q&A and Final Thoughts Key Takeaways Pay to Shortcut the Struggle: Don't waste years trying to reinvent the wheel. The fastest way to level up in business is to invest in mentors, courses, and events that give you access to proven strategies. Knowledge is one of the few assets that appreciates instantly and pays you back for a lifetime. Keep the Team Aligned: Success isn't just about building systems—it's about keeping people in sync. Monthly “Heading Adjustments” give employees space to share challenges, measure satisfaction, and realign with core values. This proactive approach prevents small frustrations from snowballing into resignations and builds a stronger, more engaged culture. Turn Setbacks Into Strategy: Every failure carries the seeds of a better system. Losing a business venture taught Coach Carroll the irreplaceable value of having the right CPAs, lawyers, and advisors. Instead of letting breakdowns end the game, treat them as tuition fees for your entrepreneurial education—fuel to grow smarter and stronger.

It was dubbed "The War of the Comans" - a feud involving a prosperous Irish family so fractured by in-fighting and division that a fierce court battle could barely settle their dispute. But why did the Coman clan, responsible for a multi-million euro pub and bottling business, come to such ruthless and public blows? This podcast was originally broadcast in March of 2025.

KCAA: The Empire Talks Back with Wallace Allen on Sun, 31 Aug, 2025
Hongkong, 1980: Tropische Hitze liegt über der britischen Kronkolonie. Auf den Märkten türmen sich exotische Waren, britische Herrenausstatter stehen Seite an Seite mit chinesischen Teestuben. Doch hinter der glitzernden Fassade herrscht eine andere Realität: Schmuggelsyndikate ziehen geheime Routen, Piraten lauern vor der Küste und in den engen Gassen wird über Opium, Macht und schnelle Geschäfte geflüstert. Hongkong – ein Schmelztiegel zwischen Empire und Unterwelt. -- In dieser Episode von BRITPOD – England at its best tauchen wir ein in diese widersprüchliche Welt. Claus Beling spricht mit Zeitzeuge Chris Ball, der als junger Offizier der Hongkonger Marinepolizei die gefährlichsten Kapitel hautnah miterlebte. Er erzählt von riskanten Einsätzen auf See, Schmugglern, die für eine Ladung Zigaretten oder Opium ihr Leben riskierten – und vom Alltag in einer Stadt, die britischer und chinesischer kaum zugleich sein konnte. -- Doch es geht um mehr als Abenteuer: Wie lebte es sich in einer Kronkolonie, in der Luxus und Armut, Tropenflair und politische Spannungen so eng beieinander lagen? Welche Rolle spielte die britische Kultur und wie gelang es Ausländern, im kantonesischen Alltag Fuß zu fassen? Und was geschah in jenen letzten Stunden 1997, als Hongkong feierlich an China übergeben wurde – ein Moment, der für viele das Ende eines ganzen Lebensgefühls bedeutete? BRITPOD – England at its best. -- WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken! Welche Ecke Englands sollten die beiden mal besuchen?

Oh the trolls they are a cummin'! Uuuuuh, COMIN', I meant, of course... Either way, we get even more fantastical, existential, and occult in these chapters, with the badass of badasses, Schierke, invoking the lords of the east, west, north and south to protect Guts and crew (as well as the villagers and that a-hole priest!) while they take out this horde of nasties...that is, until a giant peepee shaped Ogre enters the scene and puts a wrench in their gears. Enjoy!

In this episode, Dana shares her journey of resilience, growth, and redefining success. From navigating personal challenges to building a career rooted in purpose, she offers candid insights into the lessons learned along the way. Listeners will hear stories of overcoming setbacks, embracing change, and the importance of staying true to one's values.

In his new book At the Edge of Empire: A Family's Reckoning with China, Wong blends geopolitics with personal history, from his father's time in Mao's army to his own years navigating censorship and nationalism in modern China. Mike talks with Wong about ideology, disillusionment, and what China's trajectory means for the United States and the world.

In this episode of the Frugalpreneur podcast, host Sarah St. John sits down with Corey Ganim, a self-made entrepreneur who shares his journey of bootstrapping an Amazon-based business from scratch. Corey recalls the pivotal moment that pushed him to pursue entrepreneurship full-time: witnessing a senior manager at IBM frequently missing family time due to work commitments. Determined to avoid that fate, Corey ramped up his Amazon side hustle, which initially involved flipping used books found at thrift stores.Starting with just a couple hundred dollars—$200 for equipment and $100 for inventory—Corey describes how he reinvested profits to gradually scale his business, reaching over $13 million in sales. He emphasizes the importance of resourcefulness and a frugal mindset, using free or low-cost tools like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace to acquire inventory and even leveraging 0% APR credit cards to finance growth early on.Corey opens up about his biggest mistake: underestimating how long true, sustainable scaling takes when bootstrapping, and making some hasty decisions as a result. On the flip side, he highlights the value of being disciplined about every expense, a habit that's served him well even as the business grew.To help others interested in the Amazon wholesale model he now follows (buying bulk products from manufacturers and reselling them on Amazon), Corey offers a free step-by-step online course at freewholesaleguide.com.The episode is packed with practical advice and real-world insights for anyone starting or scaling a business on a tight budget.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction & Episode Purpose- Host Sarah St. John introduces the Frugalpreneur showcase format: bootstrapped entrepreneurs share their tips, tactics, and tools, plus valuable takeaways for listeners' own business journeys.00:35 – Corey's Entrepreneurial Turning Point- Corey recalls the pivotal moment in 2019 that motivated him to take his Amazon side business seriously. - Realized through a corporate anecdote (his manager, John) that he didn't want to miss out on life and family due to endless corporate travel.02:31 – Bootstrapping the Amazon Selling Business- Started immediately after college graduation with a label printer and scanning tool from his mom (approx. $200 investment). - Began by flipping used books from thrift stores on Amazon with just $100 in startup inventory.- Highlights the “snowball” potential: reinvest profit for exponential compounding growth.04:02 – Growth and Scale- Systematic reinvestment led from a couple hundred dollars to over **$13 million** in product sales. - Emphasizes disciplined scaling, only investing more capital down the line—with slow, steady growth.05:46 – Biggest Bootstrapping Failure- Underestimated the time required to scale; thought he could hit $1M in sales within two years, but realistic bootstrapping took longer.- Early mistakes from “get-rich-quick” mindset: poor product and partner choices.- Key lesson: adopt a long-term, patient growth strategy.06:47 – Bootstrapping Success: The Frugal Mentality- Lack of excess capital forced careful, intentional spending.- Avoided unnecessary expenses (e.g., expensive websites, assistants).- Developed financial discipline and appreciation for responsible scaling—a mindset he still applies today.07:40 – Corey's Actionable Bootstrapping Tips-Leverage free/low-cost industry resources: - Example: posted on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace offering free removal of unwanted books—led to profitable inventory at zero cost.- Smart use of 0% APR credit cards: - Used cards with promotional rates or delayed payment windows to purchase inventory. - Cautions to understand personal risk tolerance before adopting this...

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! We have come to the end (or almost the end) of our long, sweeping epic history of the Goths. But we have one corner of Gothic history as yet uncovered: what is the connection between Gothic literature, music, art and fashion, and Goths (the Germanic / Hunnic / etc. people who sacked Rome and occupied Italy)? Join us as we make some questionable leaps in logic and take some big swings in trying to connect Goth with Goth. In the first part of the episode, we discuss the dark opulence of Goth—and its connection to a legendary, possibly cursed Visigothic treasure gained via plunder.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
In 1960 Yigael Yadin, formerly chief of the Israeli general staff and by that year a prize winning archaeologist, visited the home of Israel's president David Ben-Gurion, and said to him “Mr. President, I have the honor to tell you that we have discovered 15 dispatches written or dictated by the last president of ancient Israel over 1800 years ago.” Yadin was announcing the discovery of a collection of scrolls written by Simon Bar-Kosiba, better known as Bar-Kohkba, who had led the Second Jewish Revolt against Rome, from 132 to 135 AD. Bar-Kochba was an inspiration to Israelis in the founding generation of the Republic of Israel who otherwise detested each other politically, finding in him a common source of inspiration for their own struggle. His is one of the many legacies of the series of revolts by the Jews against their Roman rulers, but not close to being the most consequential. For among the many unintended consequences of the wars of Rome against the Jews was not only the creation of the Talmud and modern Judaism, but the simultaneous growth of Christianity. With me to talk about these momentous events is Barry Strauss. He is the Corliss Page Dean Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University as well as the Bryce and Edith M. Bowmar Professor in Humanistic Studies Emeritus at Cornell University, where he was formerly Chair of the Department of History as well as Professor of History and Classics. A prolific author, his most recent book is Jews vs Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion Against the Worlds Mightiest Empire. This is his fourth appearance on Historically Thinking. For Further InvestigationBarry Strauss' most recent appearance on the podcast was to discuss "The War That Made the Roman Empire". He also contributed
Episode #167: Picture this: Michal Rouse and I, in the midst of major life changes, laughing through the chaos of building our businesses from the ground up. McCall's journey from a cozy home-based Pilates studio to a vibrant new space in Calabasas was nothing short of an adventure, filled with unexpected house sales, rapid relocations, and all the joys and hurdles of setting up a new studio. We share how the camaraderie between us, manifested in choosing paint colors and battling contractors, turned challenges into cherished memories, showcasing the power of friendship and persistence in bringing dreams to life. What happens when you're banned from a Pilates studio for being too good? I turned that unexpected twist into fuel to expand my own home studio into a bustling business with over 200 clients. Together, Michal and I emphasize the importance of community over competition in the Pilates world, revealing how rigorous training and mutual encouragement empower us and other women to transition from stay-at-home moms to successful entrepreneurs. It's a journey of resilience, determination, and the unyielding spirit that drives us to support one another. Relationships, whether personal or professional, thrive on authenticity and reciprocity. In this lively discussion, we reflect on the power of genuine connections that align with our core values, touching on the joys of friendship and the challenges of raising twice-exceptional children. Between anecdotes and heartfelt insights, we share the simple pleasures of life, like enjoying a $35 smoothie at Erewhon Calabasas, while juggling the everyday hustle. It's all about finding balance, celebrating successes, and cherishing the bonds that lift us higher, inviting you to join us on this journey of laughter, growth, and community.

Inside today's Russia, conspiracy theories like this aren't just fringe curiosities, they're mainstream. From TV talk shows to Putin himself, wild stories about stolen lands, shadowy Western plots, and circling enemies aren't dismissed; they're used to fuel Russia's war in Ukraine and position the country as a morally just state. Today in The Bunker, Alex von Tunzelmann is joined by Dr Ilya Yablokov, Lecturer in Digital Journalism and Disinformation at the University of Sheffield, to explain how the Russian state uses mass media to normalise conspiracy theories to the public. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Teams are in camp, some of them with new head coaches, and few head coaches are in a more interesting situation than Cortland coach Tom Blumenauer. He is in his first training camp as the Red Dragons' head coach, and he's working with a team that won a national title just 20 months ago, but lost a well-loved and highly successful head coach in the offeseason. Plus, he's an Ithaca graduate. We talk to him about what he's seen in camp so far, what he's hoping to instill from a culture perspective, and what it's like returning to the Empire 8, where he played as a player. Few teams -- no team, in fact, according to our preseason All-America team -- should be happier to have a returning quarterback than the folks at UW-River Falls. Kaleb Blaha was hurt in the first game of the season last year for the Falcons and never returned to form, taking the "med red" of a medical hardship season or a medical redshirt. We talk with Kaleb, plus head coach Matt Walker, plus offensive coordinator Joe Matheson, about the expectations at River Falls this season, how fast and how hard they like to push their offense, and more. We also hear from a Division III football head coach on the topics of whether student-athletes come into camp in better shape than they used to, and we talk to a coach whose program is using technology to try to keep student-athletes from getting hurt in camp. This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. Plus, if you're new to Division III football, we'll start off this podcast with a little primer about how things work and what to expect come playoff time. And we also talk about how crazy it was to try to select a preseason All-America team this year with all the turnover from having two senior classes and a lot of upward movement through the transfer portal. Mailbag topics include: Can Johns Hopkins finish 3-0 in their crazy opening stretch of the season? And if you had to name a rock song to define the 2025 Division III football season, what would it be? Hint: One of the answers is related to what the thumbnail image for this episode looks like! Plus, you'll need to stay to the bitter end to find out what someone thinks the next hot tailgate item will be for this fall. You won't want to miss it.
August 28, 1920. In the town of Tequila, fireworks burst overhead as people celebrate Mexico's independence. Then… gunshots. Malachías Cuervo, heir to the famous tequila dynasty, has just reignited a bitter feud with his family's rivals, the Sauzas. For decades, his brother José Cuervo fought to rebuild the family business through drought, revolution, and political upheaval—turning a struggling operation into an empire.
