I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I talk about something I think we've gotten backwards in the restaurant industry — loyalty. Too many of us are trying to buy it with discounts and deals. But real loyalty? That comes from connection. I dig into how to move beyond the transactional and start creating experiences that actually mean something to your guests. It's about storytelling. It's about generosity. It's about making people feel like they matter. When you build that kind of emotional connection, you don't need to bribe people to come back — they come back because they want to. And better yet, they tell their friends. If you're looking to turn one-time visitors into lifelong fans, this episode is for you.Takeaways:You can run a successful restaurant without running a successful restaurant business.Most restaurant owners have great food but lack business acumen.Discounts do not drive loyalty; they create transactional relationships.Guests return for the experience, not for discounts.Creating a sense of belonging is key to guest loyalty.Generosity should be intentional and targeted, not random.Memorable experiences lead to word-of-mouth marketing.Identify high-value guest moments for targeted gestures of generosity.Document and share guest stories to enhance marketing efforts.True loyalty is built on experiences, not freebies.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Profitability02:03 The Power of Genuine Connection Over Discounts05:51 Creating Memorable Guest ExperiencesIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

Finding Purpose Through Passion: Sarah's Journey into Hairdressing In this heartfelt episode, Michael D. Levitt sits down with his daughter, Sarah, to explore the winding paths we take in our careers and the passions that fuel them. Sarah shares how a visit to a Florida cosmetology school during a trip to see her grandmother sparked a lifelong interest in hair styling. That moment planted a seed that would later grow into a full-blown calling — one that she's now pursuing at barber school. Michael reflects on his own unexpected career path, tracing it back to his childhood fascination with baseball cards, which eventually led to a successful career in accounting. In a candid moment, he opens up about the personal toll of his divorce and its impact on his family, offering a message of hope and healing for anyone navigating life's tougher chapters. From Setbacks to Comebacks: The Grit Behind Sarah's Hairdressing Career Sarah takes us behind the scenes of her journey into the hair industry — a path filled with obstacles including financial constraints, educational hurdles, and challenges in workplace dynamics. Despite these setbacks, Sarah's unwavering determination helped her earn her credentials and build real-world experience across salons and barbershops. When she faced difficulties transferring her Canadian license to the U.S. and finding stable opportunities in her new environment, Sarah didn't give up. Instead, she doubled down on her passion and remains focused on reigniting her career in the States. Her story is a powerful reminder that growth often begins in the trenches. Grief, Growth, and the Power of Dreams: Honoring a Grandmother's Legacy The loss of her beloved grandmother — her best friend and biggest supporter — became a turning point for Sarah. Rather than giving in to grief, she chose to channel her emotions into a meaningful goal: becoming a hair stylist. Enrolling in barber school became both a healing journey and a way to honor her grandmother's legacy. Now, a year later, Sarah is back in the U.S., diploma in hand and hope in her heart. Her transformation is a testament to the power of purpose, even in the midst of profound personal loss. Resilience, Passion, and Clarity in Career Choices Michael highlights the resilience Sarah has shown throughout her journey — something he sees as a vital ingredient in long-term career success. Together, they discuss the stability and creative fulfillment the hair industry can offer, especially during economic uncertainty. Michael encourages Sarah to stay aligned with her passion, trusting that the right path will reveal itself through self-reflection, creativity, and deep listening. Whether it's behind the chair or in another meaningful direction, Sarah's journey is far from over — it's just getting started. Instagram:  https://Instagram.com/Hairtasticbysarahhhhh    

In today's episode, we're diving into why you might be unintentionally attracting broke and lazy clients through your marketing—and how to fix it. Let's be real: we've all done it. You offer discounts, run flash sales, or over-explain the value of your offers, but if you're doing it the wrong way, you're likely attracting clients who are more focused on a bargain than the actual transformation you're offering.In this episode, I cover:Why offering discounts and overemphasizing price can attract clients who aren't committed to the transformationHow offering guarantees or making promises you can't keep is a sure way to draw in people with no real self-beliefWhy marketing accountability constantly can result in clients who expect you to do the work for them—and how to shift your messaging to empower themThe danger of marketing "ease" and how it attracts people who think success comes without effort—and how to reframe that messageThis episode is not about avoiding pain points or glossing over the reality of the work it takes to get results. It's about adjusting the tone and framing of your offers so that you attract the kind of clients who are ready to take action and invest in their growth.

Election misinformation! I saw my fair share of it while making episodes about the 2025 federal election and oh boy, there are some classic repeat claims as well as some new and bizarre ones that are making the rounds. Here's a handy explainer of some of the false, misleading and outdated claims I saw and how they're wrong.The myths/episode chapters are:0:00 Intro2:04 Voting machines switched votes7:47 Pencils are used so votes can be erased10:53 Immigrants were "imported" to rig the election14:52 Preferential voting ensures major parties win21:03 Parties choose preferences25:56 OutroSide note: I point out in the immigration myth that to vote you need to be an Australian citizen. This is technically not strictly true, as British subjects enrolled to vote before 25th January 1984 who are still enrolled to vote also can/must vote. (https://www.aec.gov.au/Enrolling_to_vote/British_subjects.htm) That is a small group of people though. It also is not relevant to the myth about immigration that I was busting because the myth clearly is about new immigrants (who can't vote and thus can't have any impact on the election outcome) and has nothing to do with that quirk of history from over 40 years ago.Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplainedFollow me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/auspolexplained.bsky.social Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auspolexplained/ Like Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Explained-107892180702388Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the episode was recorded and edited on.

The US Donald Trump administration on Thursday revoked Harvard University's certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), effectively barring the institution from enrolling new international students.美国特朗普政府于周四撤销了哈佛大学在‌学生和交流访问学者项目(SEVP)‌下的认证资质，实质禁止该校招收新的国际学生。US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced the decision. "Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country," Noem said in a statement. "Enrolling international students is a privilege -- not a right -- and that privilege has been revoked due to Harvard's repeated failure to comply with federal law."美国国土安全部（DHS）部长克丽丝蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）宣布了这一决定。她在声明中表示：“这应成为对美国所有大学和学术机构的警示。招收国际学生是一种特权——而非权利——哈佛因屡次违反联邦法律已被取消该特权。” DHS said that in addition to barring enrollment of future international students, "existing foreign students must transfer to lose their legal status."国土安全部称，除了禁止未来招收国际学生外，“现有外国学生若想保留合法居留身份，必须转学。 ”In response, Harvard issued a statement calling the administration's action unlawful and harmful.哈佛大学随即发表声明回应，谴责政府的行动违法且具有破坏性。 "We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard's ability to host our international students and scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries and enrich the University -- and this nation -- immeasurably," the statement said. "We are working quickly to provide guidance and support to members of our community. This retaliatory action threatens serious harm to the Harvard community and our country, and undermines Harvard's academic and research mission."“我们坚决致力于维护哈佛接纳国际学生和学者的能力。他们来自140多个国家，为哈佛乃至整个美国作出了不可估量的贡献。我们正迅速采取行动，为社区成员提供指导和支持。这一报复性举措对哈佛社区和我们的国家构成严重威胁，并损害了哈佛的学术和研究使命。”The administration in April froze 2.2 billion US dollars in federal grants to Harvard, after the university rejected demands that it eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and evaluate international students for ideological concerns.此前，哈佛大学因拒绝取消多元化、公平与包容性项目，以及拒绝以意识形态为由审查国际学生，于今年4月被政府冻结了22亿美元的联邦拨款。 As of the fall 2023 semester, international students made up over 27 percent of Harvard's student body, according to university data.据哈佛大学数据显示，截至2023年秋季学期，国际学生占该校学生总数的27%以上。international student国际学生revoke/rɪˈvəʊk/vt. 撤销; 取消; 废除bar/bɑː(r)/v. 禁止；阻止US Department of Homeland Security美国国土安全部

Succession isn't just a plan on paper — it's a living, breathing conversation about legacy, leadership, and what we're really passing on. And when it's done well, it can strengthen not just the business, but the family behind it.  This episode is a testament to that. Rob and Ainsley McArthur aren't just managing a successful beef operation in central Queensland — they're guiding a generational transition with intention, structure, and a whole lot of heart. Alongside their six children, they've created a culture of contribution, where ownership and responsibility are shared from the ground up. In this conversation, I am joined by the McArthur's and their Platinum Mastermind coach Sam Pincott. Together we dive into the nuts and bolts of a family business that's thriving because it's been built on purpose and participation. Here's what we explore:  How Rob and Ainsley stepped into leadership early and chose to rewrite the script on what succession could look like  Why they treat their kids as stakeholders — inviting them into planning, strategy, and even financial oversight from a young age  The real impact of strategic rhythm — from quarterly meetings to goal-setting retreats — in building trust and vision across generations  What it means to balance the “family business” with the “business of family” — and why both need attention  How FOA frameworks and lifelong learning have helped them shape a business that's bigger than any one person  You'll hear how their children have stepped up to run operations and organise camp drafts, and how strategic grazing lifted their carrying capacity from 1,500 to over 5,000 — all while staying true to their family-first values.  But more than anything, you'll feel the deep pride and strength that comes from leading a family, not just a farm. To any family listening — whether you're navigating succession, shaping strategy, or simply wondering how to get your kids more involved — this episode is full of gentle guidance, real-world tools, and hope. Rob, Ainsley — thank you for showing us what's possible when you lead with vision and raise the next generation to do the same. Sincerely,  Jeremy Hutchings & the Farm Owners Academy Team    P.S. If this episode got you thinking about legacy, family alignment, or setting the next generation up well — and you know your finances could be more structured — the Cash Flow Optimiser course is a great first step. Designed for farming families, it offers practical tools to reduce stress, improve decision-making, and help you build a business that supports the future you're all working toward. Take the step as a family — because the best legacies are built together.  Right now, it's on sale for just $9 (save $188) — and you'll get the exact forecasting tools, templates, and budgeting systems used by top-performing farm businesses. You can apply them in just a few hours and start taking control of your numbers — fast.

[07:40] Stop HSA contributions six months before enrolling in Medicare Part A to avoid penalties. [13:32] Enrolling in Medicare Part B while having employer insurance is unnecessary, as employer coverage remains primary. [14:33] Medigap timing and social security taxes. [15:21] Social Security is taxable income for most people, which means that you will owe income tax on that money. Choosing when and how to collect Social Security is complex, especially if you intend to keep working beyond age 62. While the prospect of “double-dipping” might seem appealing, several critical factors can impact your overall benefit, tax situation, and healthcare coverage. Here are the four big mistakes I often see: 1. Exceeding the Social Security Earnings Limit One of the biggest mistakes is not understanding the earnings limit set by Social Security for those who collect benefits before reaching their full retirement age (FRA). If you start taking benefits before your FRA, which currently ranges from 66 to 67 depending on your birth year, your benefits may be reduced if your annual earnings exceed a certain threshold. Before FRA: For every $2 you earn over this limit, Social Security will deduct $1 from your benefits. The year you reach FRA: The limit jumps to $62,160, but the calculation changes to $1 withheld for every $3 over the limit, and only the months before your birthday month are counted. After FRA, there is no longer an earnings cap; you can earn as much as you want without reducing your benefits. Failing to plan for these restrictions can lead to a surprise clawback, so calculate your annual income carefully if you plan to collect early. 2. Losing Eligibility to Contribute to an HSA If you're enrolled in a high-deductible health plan and are contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA), be wary: Once you enroll for Social Security after age 65, you're automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A. By law, you cannot contribute to an HSA while on Medicare. To make matters more complex, Medicare Part A enrollment is retroactive up to six months, and any contributions made to your HSA during that period will be considered excess contributions, exposed to a 6% IRS penalty unless withdrawn in time. Before you trigger Social Security benefits, stop your HSA contributions (and your employer's) at least six months in advance to avoid penalties and the loss of valuable tax deductions. 3. Accidental Enrollment in Medicare Part B Some assume that enrolling in Medicare Part B is required or beneficial while they keep their employer coverage, but that's not always the case. If your employer has 20 or more employees and you're covered under their group health insurance, your employer's plan remains primary, and Medicare Part B is unnecessary and costly, with premiums starting at $185/month and higher for high earners. Enrolling in Part B during this period can limit your future ability to buy a Medigap policy with automatic acceptance (no health questions or exclusions for pre-existing conditions). Unless you're losing employer coverage, it's usually best to delay enrolling in Part B and carefully respond to any enrollment communications from Social Security. 4. Not Withholding Enough Taxes on Social Security Payments Social Security benefits are taxable for most retirees, especially if you're still working. You need to anticipate the added income and withhold sufficient federal (and potentially state) taxes to avoid underpayment penalties. You can file IRS Form W-4V to have Social Security withhold federal tax from each payment, choosing between 7%, 10%, 12%, and 22%. Alternatively, increase withholding at work or make estimated tax payments. Planning ahead ensures you won't face a large bill come tax time.

Busted by surveillance cameras.By Cheat105. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels.Molly then left the room and I found myself feeling a little sad to see her go. But I knew it was best. After all, it being only around 8 on a Sunday morning, most everyone else was bound to still be asleep, so she could slip back in her room unnoticed. With nothing else to do, I decided to go ahead and shower, convenient considering the time. I put on my boxers from the night before, as I couldn't very well walk down the hall naked, grabbed a fresh change of clothes along with a towel and my shampoo and stuff then headed down the hall to the bathroom.By the time I finished showering, everyone else was still asleep. I just returned to my room and got on my computer. I logged into Netflix and had just queued up a show to watch when I received a text on my phone, it was from Amanda.Hey, come to the locker room.I read the text and thought. I guess some people were still awake. Obviously, me being a young man with my hormones going crazy, I jumped at the opportunity that this text offered. I'd received many texts like this over the past couple of months after all. I quickly put on the rest of my clothes and was out the door in less than a minute.On my way.I replied to Amanda's text as I quickly made my way across campus.As I walked across campus, I had a chance to think about everything. This weekend had started off rather rough, what with seeing Maria again and my mini panic attack that followed. Then the next day, on Saturday, I finally got a long overdue apology from Mom. As if that wasn't good enough, I then had the best sex of my life with the girl I'm pretty fucking fond of on that very same night. And now, I was on my way to have even more great sex with the smoking hot Amanda. How much better could my life get?When I got to the gym, I entered and walked across the floor to the locker room at the other end, eager for what awaited me. I walked into the locker room, not seeing Amanda when I first walked in, I figured she must already be back in the area with the mats. I walked past the lockers and stopped dead in my tracks when I was about to walk by the coach's office. I turned slowly and looked, fear immediately set in when I saw Amanda in the office and the volleyball coach sitting at her desk, staring daggers at me.Oh, fuck. I said to myself. Don't tell me."Come on in." the coach said in a demanding tone.I nervously stepped into her office, I was almost shaking. Amanda didn't ever bother to look at me. She just stared at the floor, her cheeks and ears blood red. I stood there, completely silent, wondering what was going on."So, you're the boy whose been distracting my girls." the coach said with certainty.Before I even had a chance to respond, the coach reached to the computer monitor on her desk and turned it so the screen was facing me. I looked at the screen and was shocked by what I saw. It was surveillance camera footage of the locker room, specifically the equipment area, where the girls and I usually did the deed. She clicked through about a dozen different clips, each of them featuring me and one of the girls. It was like watching a montage of my greatest hits, only now it didn't feel so great. My heart sank. My cheeks and ears burned and turned the same shade of red as Amanda's. In an instant, my whole world came crashing down.We had been caught.As far as I could figure, the coach had lured me to the locker room using Amanda's phone. Either way, there I was standing in the volleyball coach's office, my face surely twisted in horror, as she played surveillance footage on her computer. Amanda continued to sit and stare at the floor, I couldn't see her face, but I imagined she had similar look to me. Meanwhile, the coach just sat back in her chair, staring daggers at me as she let the clips play.My whole world was slowing burning down around me. It was like the bullshit in my old school all over again. I was silently hoping and praying that I would wake from this horrible nightmare, but alas, this was reality, there was no solace.How could I have been so stupid? I continuously questioned myself. I made all the same kind of mistakes I'd made back in my old school. To be honest, I wanted nothing more than to turn tail and run, jump in my mother's car and drive as far away from this place as possible. But I knew better now, there was no escaping this.Then another thought finally crossed my mind. Why the fuck were there surveillance cameras in a locker room? I mean, aren't there supposed to be laws against that? Could I use this revelation as leverage to get out of trouble?"Care to explain all this?" the coach finally broke the silence, gesturing to the screen.No, I couldn't explain it. There was no explanation to give, it all just kind of happened."Alright, Amanda, you can leave now." she said, looking to Amanda.Amanda silently and hesitantly rose from her seat and left the office. Then it was just me and the coach, and honestly it was a bit worrisome. I mean, what the hell was gonna happen now? I waited in fear."Now then, go ahead and take a seat. I wanna have a little chat." she said in an authoritative tone.I promptly obeyed and took a seat in front of her desk, awaiting what was surely going to be a long inflammatory lecture."So, you're the headmistress's son, Alan, huh?" she asked.I nodded my head, still nervous to even look this woman in the eye."Well, don't think that earns you any special treatment." she added.I never expected it would. But honestly, I would've done just about anything to have my mom come and rescue me. I knew there was no chance of that, but hey, a guy can hope, right?The coach then stood up from her chair and walked around to the front her desk."Enrolling a boy in this school, what was that woman thinking? I knew it was only a matter of time before something like this happened," she said, sounding strangely proud of herself, as she leaned her ass against the edge of desk, looking down on me.I wanted to jump to my mother's defense upon hearing her be disparaged like that, but something kept me from speaking. I looked up at the woman towering over me, and I couldn't help but notice how attractive she looked from this angle. Was I attracted to powerful women?Coach Jones, Valerie was her first name I think, she was actually quite beautiful. She was a tall black woman, probably in her mid to late 30s. She had long black wavy hair that she wore in a ponytail almost all the time. Her body was curvy, yet still had an athletic build. Her usual outfit around campus was a t-shirt with the school's name on it, a pair of short gym shorts, and a pair tennis shoes. I could tell that hidden beneath that shirt was a sizable rack, double-d at the very least. And those shorts did little to conceal her big round firm ass. Honestly I don't know why I'd never taken notice of her before. She was without a doubt a sexy woman, but also had quite the imposing image as well. Her whole vibe was rather authoritarian. I didn't know whether to be turned on or scared, perhaps a mixture of both."There's only one solution I can see to this problem." she started speaking again, dragging me away from my thoughts.I continued staring up at her as she spoke, still frozen in silence and fear."I know I should report this to your mother and the rest of the faculty." she said.I was already filled with worry, but upon hearing that, I began to shake."That would of course result in your expulsion, which doesn't bother me, as the problem would be solved." she continued.My head was immediately overflown with horrific thoughts of me being kicked out of yet another school. Sure, my mother had already apologized for how she'd treated me after the bullshit from before, but if I was expelled from another school, her school to be make it even worse, then she'd certainly disown me."But, that would also mean the girls getting expelled. I like those girls, it ain't right for them to dragged down because of you." she went on, sounding a little angry.That's when the guilt set in. Forget what would happen to me. The girls' names would be dragged through the mud and their futures ruined. All because I'm a horny little piece of shit who couldn't keep his dick in his pants."So I came up with an even better idea." she said, her frown slowly turning to a mischievous grin.I looked up at her with a look of confusion on my face. A better idea? I repeated that part in my head. What the hell was she thinking?Without saying anything further, Coach Jones walked around behind me. I grew even more confused when she shut the door to her office and locked, she then proceeded to close the blinds on her office windows before returning to her desk, that sly grin still on her face."While I was going over that footage, I happened to notice that you got a pretty decent sized dick. So go ahead and whip that thing out for me, I wanna see it with my own eyes." she said, her deep beautiful brown eyes dropping directly to my already bulging crotch.My eyes grew wide and my jaw hit the floor. I wasn't all too sure I'd heard her right."You heard me, boy. Take that thing out." she said in a commanding tone.For whatever reason, I couldn't disobey her. The next thing I knew, I was standing up from the chair I was sitting in. Standing now, I noticed that even with the way she was leaning against her desk, she was still a few inches taller than me. As if driven by an outside force, my hands seemed to move on their own as I began to undo my pants. She stared at my crotch, her head nodding slowly, as I unbuttoned and unzipped my pants. Still unsure that I was even controlling my own actions, I then pulled down my pants and boxers in one motion, freeing my already rock hard erection."Hmm, you're pretty well hung, for a white boy. I see why them girls were so crazy for you." she said, looking at my cock.I nervously blushed at her compliment. Though, I suppose I was also a bit offended that she inferred the girls' interest in me was based on my endowment. After all, I was certain that at least Molly and I shared a real connection that went beyond the physical. Of course, I also saw the irony in that. I mean, there I was thinking about my feelings for Molly, yet I was standing before her volleyball coach exposing myself and on top of that the only reason I'd come to the locker room in the first place was to have sex with one of Molly's best friends, like I'd already done numerous times before with her friends. Talk about some fucked up irony.I was still extremely confused by the whole situation. I stood there, frozen, with my hard cock exposed as Coach Jones just stared at it slowly nodding her head. What the hell was she thinking? I kept asking myself. I would've given anything to know, and I was soon to get my answer."I think it's only fair if we see how well you can use that thing." the coach finally spoke again.What's that supposed to mean? I asked myself. She saw the surveillance footage, so I'm pretty sure she's already seen how well I can use it."Yeah, let's see if you're as good a fuck as those girls seem to think you are." she said.Before I could even react to her statement, she began removing her t-shirt, exposing a sexy black lacy bra. It was beginning to be increasingly more difficult to feel confused and uneasy with the enticing image that stood before me.Coach Jones then reached behind her back and unclasped the bra, letting the straps slowly slide off of her shoulders. The bra fell to the floor revealing a perfectly symmetrical pair of gigantic light chocolate globes. Each of her two breasts were capped with a large areola, that were of a darker shade of brown than the skin surrounding them. Protruding from her areolas were her perky nipples, they reminded me of Hershey Kisses, but less pointy, obviously.I'd never been with a black girl. Never had anything against the idea, just never really thought about it much. But god damn, I was so turned on by the half-naked beauty in front of me. I wanted nothing more than to grab her and start sucking on those chocolate nipples.I watched as her big juicy tits jiggled with every slight movement she made. I could no longer hold back, finally overcome by lust, my baser instincts took over. I quickly took a step towards her and just about dove into her rack. I immediately began ferociously kissing and licking all over those glorious mounds. I found one of her nipples and latched onto it, sucking the erect nub into my mouth. I was like a man possessed."Oh damn, I love that enthusiasm" she said.She let a moan as I sucked on her nipples, switching back and forth between the two. I continued sucking on her nipples until I was satisfied. I then removed my mouth from her breasts and began trailing kisses down her firm milky chocolate abdomen. I was ready for the main course. And judging by her moans, so was she. I kissed down to her belly button and stopped just above her shorts."Well don't stop now." Coach Jones said.Not that I needed the extra encouragement, but it did help. I hooked my fingers in the waistband of her shorts and began pulling them down past her hips and voluptuous ass, revealing a pair panties that matched the black lacy bra. She removed the shorts the rest of the way, pulling them down her legs and past her shoes. I then hooked my fingers into the waistband of her panties and pulled them down as well, where they became bunched up at her ankles, her shoes keeping them from coming off the rest of the way. I took a moment admire her as she worked the panties over her shoes. I marveled at her curvaceous light chocolate ass jiggling with each movement she made. Her crotch was bare and her cunt looked as though it had never been touched.Coach Jones sat on her desk and leaned back, planting her hands behind her to brace herself."Alright, enough foreplay, let's see just how good a fuck you are." she said in a weird mix of commanding and seductive tone.The whole seductive authoritarian thing was certainly working for her. I let my pants and boxers fall down around my ankles and quickly worked them over my shoes. I stepped out of them and took a step closer to my prize as she spread her legs to invite me. I grabbed her hips and began smearing the tip of my rock hard cock along her juicy wet slit. The outsides of her cunt lips were a slightly darker shade of brown, but as my cock parted her lips I saw that the inside was just as pink as any other girl's cunt. She yelped as I shoved my cock into her dripping wet hole."Oh, damn, that is one big dick" she said in surprise as she felt my thickness enter her love canal.To my surprise, she was tight. Either way, it felt good to complimented by her and it urged me on. I began driving my cock into her cunt as it slowly loosened to accept more of me. She moaned as inch after inch of my hard on disappeared into her tight wet snatch. Before long I'd bottomed out in her."Come on, white boy. Fuck me!" she exclaimed.It was odd being called white boy in the middle of sex, but I've got to admit, it turned me on. I pulled out almost all the way, then slammed my cock back into her cunt, fast and hard. I repeated that several more times, each time increasing my speed and force until I was thrusting in and out of her cunt as fast and hard as I could. Coach Jones responded to all this by moaning and squealing at the top of her lungs."Oh fuck! Fuck me! Fuck me!" she yelled, lost in the throes of pleasure.That's not to say I wasn't just as lost. I drilled away at her like a savage beast. The only sounds were that of her moaning and yelling, my heavy breathing, and the ambient sounds of our respective sexual organs clashing. Honestly, I knew I wasn't going to last much longer, and I hoped she was close as well.I was beginning to feel exhausted as I kept the same pace for an extended period. But I never slowed, after all, the sensation of her warm wet cunt pulsating around my shaft with each thrust felt way too good to stop."Oh fuck! I'm cumming!" Coach Jones finally yelled.She wrapped her muscular legs around my back and held me deep inside her as her hot fluids washed over my cock. Her body began to spasm and that was all I could take before I began erupting a fountain of my seed into her.Neither of us took any time to revel in the afterglow, as both of us knew what this was about, it was sex and nothing more. She began putting her clothes back on and I did the same, both of us remained silent the whole time; which gave me just enough time to realize how wrong this all was. I'd just had sex with the volleyball coach in her office, not only that, I noticed the ring on her finger. I'd participated in adultery, that startling revelation sent an immediate guilt washing over me. I quickly finished getting dressed then made for the door, hoping she wouldn't say anything."Oh, by the way, I got your number from Amanda's phone. Expect to hear from me again." she said with a self-satisfied smile.I had nothing to say to that, I just left her office in a hurry. And when I exited the locker room into the gym, I almost broke out in a sprint to the exit across the gym.I tried to keep my composure as I made the long stroll across campus. I walked, filled with a sense of dread and guilt, and shame. What the fuck? I questioned myself over and over again, never able to form an answer. This is all so fucked, I said to myself. How could I ever let things get so out of hand? I was driving myself mad.I then received a text on my phone, momentarily drawing me away from the chaos that was my mind. I pulled the phone out of my pocket and checked it, the text was from Molly.Hey, I just heard from Amanda, what the hell happened exactly? Is everything alright?To be honest, I didn't have a good answer for her, I knew she was just concerned for me and I wanted more than anything to put her at ease, but I didn't know how. However, this was one issue that couldn't be ignored, I have learned from at least one of my mistakes. I quickly replied to the text after some thought.Gather the others and meet me in my room, I'm on my way there now, I'll explain everything then.It was finally time that I sat down with the girls and discussed things. I could not put this off any longer. I of course, worried that with the current circumstances this meeting with the girls could result in the end of our little "thing" but I also knew how dire it was that we all talk.Ok, we'll be there.Molly promptly replied to the text. Luckily, with the time being barely noon, it wouldn't be overly suspicious for the girls to be hanging out in my room, so that was one bright side.I continued making my way to the dorm, trying to get my thoughts in order. Trying to figure out exactly what it was I was going to say to the girls. I'd arranged the meeting, but I hadn't really thought much beyond that. In all honesty, I knew that calling the whole harem thing off was probably for the best, to avoid further incident, but that was the last thing I wanted. I especially didn't want to damage things with Molly.When I finally got to my dorm room, Molly and the others were already waiting in the hall, talking amongst themselves. They all looked just as worried as I felt. As I walked up to them, they all greeted me with concerned looks. Amanda still couldn't even look at me. I immediately wanted to put them all at ease, but again, I didn't know what to say. And I didn't want to lie to them and tell them everything would okay, after all I didn't even know myself if things were really going to be okay.Deciding not to say anything, I unlocked and opened my door, and gestured for them to follow me in. I shut the door behind us, also checking to make sure nobody saw us, just in case. When I turned around to face the room, I saw that the girls had all taken a seat on my bed, so I walked over and sat in my computer chair and spun in it to face them.I sat there looking at them, with them looking back at me. The room was dead silent, I was halfway tempted to turn on some music just to ease the tension a bit, but this was not the time for levity. This was serious and needed to be treated as such. I opted instead to get my thoughts in order. I knew that with how close they all were, they'd surely heard from Amanda about the volleyball coach."Alright, so I'm assuming you've all heard from Amanda, about us being caught?" I asked just to clarify.Erin and Katie both nodded in the affirmative, confirming my assumption. Amanda's face turned blood red as she stared at the floor, obviously a nervous wreck. I was just as nervous as she, but I decided that I should at least appear to be strong, for their sake."Yeah, but what's gonna happen? How bad is it?" Molly asked, sounding and looking concerned.Seeing how clearly not okay Amanda was, I knew that I needed to say something to ease her torment a little. I mean, she looked absolutely crushed with guilt. After all, Coach Jones had pretty much used her to lure me into a trap, how could she not feel guilty?"I'll get to that in a sec, but first, Amanda, I know you're probably blaming yourself for all this. Don't, it's not your fault. And I'm sure none of us here blame you." I said.The other 3 girls all chimed in as well, giving her hugs and reassuring her."I mean, how were any of us supposed to know there were cameras in the locker room?" I continued.Molly, Erin, and Katie nodded in agreement as they continued to console their friend. It actually made me a bit envious seeing how much they all cared about one another. I never had friends like that, all mine turned their backs on me.Winter break was upon us.A few weeks had passed since that weekend. That damn weekend, there were so many ups and downs. Luckily, Coach Jones hadn't decided to report us, probably had something to do with my regular visits to her office since that day. As long as I kept her happy, the girls and I were able to keep up our thing. The girls and I continued to meet in the locker room to have our fun, even though we knew the coach had kept the cameras running and recording us, we figured it best that we don't deprive her of her little show. Maria and I also kept in contact since she left, via text and the occasional phone call. I still worried about her with her parents, but she seemed alright anytime I was talking to her.I would be spending winter break at home with my family, and the girls would be spending it with their respective families as well; which means, I wouldn't see them for a couple of weeks, I was none too thrilled about it. Not to mention the idea of spending a couple of weeks with my family seemed rather unappealing, to say the least. That's not to say I dislike my family, but given everything that's happened, it was sure to be extremely awkward. I wasn't even sure if mom had told the rest of the family that Maria had revealed the truth to her. As far as I knew, the rest of the family still wanted nothing to do with me. But alas, my mother had insisted that the whole family be there for the holidays, some sort of pseudo Campbell family reunion.I had packed enough stuff for the break and was loading it into the back of mom's car as I waited for her to finish up a few things in her office. It was the first day of winter break, though given it was a Monday, I suppose the weekend technically counted, so third day? Either way, pretty much all the other students had left already. I was bored and couldn't even call Molly or any of the others, because they were on flights back home at the time. You see, most of the student's families lived in a different city, a lot of them in a different state entirely. That's why they lived in the dorms on campus. My mother lived maybe an hour or so away from the school, but the reason I was living away from home is because I wasn't wanted at home. So my mother's sudden urge to reunite the family for the holidays caught me off guard. I know she'd forgiven me after hearing the truth, but she had to know how awkward it was gonna be with the rest of the family.I was sitting in the passenger seat of mom's car messing around on my phone as I waited for mom to finish up. Finally after a little over 10 minutes mom got to the car."Hey sweetie, hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long." she said as she sat in the driver seat."It's alright." I replied.It still felt a little weird having mom call me things like "sweetie" and "honey." Sure that's how she always used to refer to me, but that stopped immediately after the whole Maria fiasco. I know she was just trying to get things back to the way they were before, so I didn't mind. It would just take a little while getting used to.Most of the car ride was spent making small talk, mom asking me how school has been, if I've made friends, that sort of stuff. I answered her questions as best I could, even though her being the headmistress of the school, she already knew how I've been doing in school, and as far as friends, I couldn't exactly tell her the whole truth there considering what I've been doing with my friends for the past several months. I knew she was just trying to make things normal again, so I went along with it.More of this story is published at the index of Cheat105 for Literotica.

 If you've ever wished you could travel, but have told yourself that you can't take time off or it's too expensive or whatever, this interview will have you rethinking those assumptions.  Today, I'm talking to a returning guest about how he has designed his studios, plural, to be able to take extended backpacking trips every year. We talk about budgeting for the trips, how he preps his students and teachers, and how he keeps things on track while he's away. Here's my conversation with Noah.

In Episode 28 of Clocking Out, Raymond sits down with Sairan Aqrawi, who shares her inspiring journey of transformation and self-discovery. Born in Iraq, Sairan left her home country in 1997 to pursue the American Dream. Influenced by her father, she chose a career in Civil Engineering, dedicating herself to the field and excelling in systems integration and project delivery.But despite her success, Sairan found herself drawn to a new path—one that would allow her to tap into her true passion for empowering others. After years of working as an engineer, Sairan made the bold decision to step away from her PhD program and dive into the world of coaching. Enrolling in a coaching certificate program, she discovered a hidden gem: the ability to mentor women seeking their own hidden gems. Since then, Sairan has coached hundreds of women, guiding them to tap into their own hidden gems and build more authentic, impactful careers.In this episode, Sairan shares the powerful lessons she's learned from her journey—from navigating a career shift and embracing uncertainty to the importance of being true to yourself, your values, and your true calling. Her unique blend of technical expertise and entrepreneurial wisdom offers listeners a roadmap for pursuing their own dreams beyond the traditional career path. Whether you're seeking guidance on how to pivot in your own career or simply looking for inspiration to take that next step toward fulfilling your potential, Sairan's insights are a must-listen!Connect with Sairan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sairan-aqrawi-m-sc-993bb61a3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sairanaqrawi/Follow Careerminds: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/careermindsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/careerminds/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CareermindsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@CareermindsVisit Raymond's website: https://www.raymondlee.co/Order Clocking Out: A Stress-Free Guide to Career Transitions: https://www.amazon.com/Clocking-Out-Stress-Free-Career-Transitions/dp/1586446541 Follow Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raymondmlee/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raymondlee.coTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clockingoutpodX: http://twitter.com/hrentrepreneurYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@clockingoutwithraymondlee/videosBecome a guest on Clocking Out: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSTQmww_Gvld1zfLzTmS16PDfZvltFna7Gh6iSYehL-maUvA/viewform

G'day, friends! In this episode, I'm sharing a new approach to sales and enrollment for coaches and service providers—one rooted in trust, transparency, and integrity.Inspired by a sales training I couldn't even finish, I reflect on the outdated, high-pressure tactics we're so often taught and how they clash with the personal, transformative work we do. Instead, I explore how to create meaningful connections with potential clients, from empowering them to make their own decisions to being honest when coaching isn't the right fit.Sales doesn't have to feel “salesy.” It's about building relationships, not closing deals. And when we lean into generosity, empathy, and ethical practices, the results are better for everyone.I'm also creating a short course on effortless client creation that dives deeper into these ideas. Join the waitlist via the link below to learn more!Everything you want is closer than you think. Stay curious, stay open, and I'll see you in the next episode.— Authentic, Effortless Client Creation - A Tiny Course on building a reputable coaching or service-based business.
