 Today's episode is one of the most honest, vulnerable, and powerful conversations we've had in quite a bit. I'm sitting down with my friend Joshua Church, who co-founded Edge Theory Labs, and built it from a garage prototype into a $20 million brand in under three years, only to make the incredibly hard decision to shut it all down. What came next cracked him wide open in the best, hardest, and most human way. In this episode, we discuss:Joshua's story, the rise & fall of Edge Theory Labs, and what ultimately led to its shut down What it's like to fail publicly and how it changed Joshua's perception of failureHow Josh faced some of his worst fears, including getting internet hate, as well as the most powerful tools and practices that got him through it The experiences that brought him into deeper faith, emotional presence, and a whole new level of leadershipDivine vs. toxic masculinity, from the male perspectiveHow Josh is helping founders become the leader that their business actually needsMore About Joshua:Joshua Church helps founders become the leader their business and mission truly need. As co-founder of Edge Theory Labs, he turned a garage prototype into a $20 million brand in under three years—before having to shut it down. That rise-and-fall proved long-term success hinges on how you lead yourself and others through both highs and headwinds. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, and host of The Way You Lead podcast, Joshua now distills those lessons into playbooks, workshops, and keynotes, cultivating a community of leaders fueled by strength, heart, faith, and authenticity.Where to Connect with Josh:Website: www.joshuadeanchurch.comIG: @joshuadeanchurchTikTok: @joshuadeanchurchYoutube: @joshuadeanchurchLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshchurch/Support the Podcast & Get Your Questions Answered: If this episode supports you, it would mean the world to me if you are able to take two minutes to rate it on Spotify and give it a follow/subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, so you get notified when weekly episodes drop!

Election Day is like Christmas Day, with some of us not getting ourselves organised until the very last minute - even though we've known for ages that it's happening. Christmas day is never sprung on us. We know it happens every 12 months, but there's a lot of last-minute panicking, isn't there? We get even more warning with Election Day. We know it happens every three years, but there's the same last-minute rush. Especially for the 110,000 people who were in the last-minute camp at the last election, enrolling to vote on the same day they voted. But the Government's not having any more of that and, as part of its changes to the way elections are run, it's doing away with same-day enrolment. Which I think is a mistake. But ACT MP Todd Stephenson is loving it, saying: “It's outrageous that someone completely disengaged and lazy can rock up to the voting booth, get registered there and then, and then vote to tax other people's money away.” But he's missing the point completely, because isn't it brilliant that more than 100,000 people got to vote in the last election because they could enrol on the day? Isn't it the ones who didn't vote at all who are the lazy ones? The Government's missing the point too. Because instead of penalising voters because it's system can't cope with last minute enrolments, it should be coming up with a system that can cope. It should be building a system that enables same day enrolment instead of getting rid of it. What it's doing is effectively reversing something that was brought in for the 2020 election by the previous government. But it's going even further than just reversing what Labour did, and people are going to have to be enrolled and have their details up to date before the 12 days of advance voting begins. The Government says it's making the changes so the votes can be counted quicker. So that we get a result quicker, and so the politicians can get on with doing coalition deals. But that's just an excuse for not putting in the effort to come up with a better system to count the votes. And I'm not the only one saying that today either. Electoral law expert Graeme Edgeler is pouring cold water on it as well, saying there's nothing stopping the politicians who look like they've been elected from beginning coalition negotiations before the final special votes are counted. He says the final results can change by one or two seats, but nothing dramatic, and he says, “the time delay just doesn't seem like a particularly good reason for this." As for one of the other changes it's making —delivering on its promise to bring-in a total ban on prisoners voting— that gets a thumbs down from me too. Again, it's getting rid of something brought in by the previous government: voting rights for prisoners serving sentences of less than three years. Which is a mistake because I see a prisoner being able to vote as a way of keeping them engaged with the outside world. You might recall a few months back, Sir Ron Young was finishing up as head of the Parole Board and he was saying that the reoffending rate for prisoners who serve short prison terms of two to three years is higher than those inside for longer. That's because they have way less opportunities to get themselves rehabilitated and they end up spending a lot of their time behind bars hanging out with serious crims. So he was advocating for keeping these prisoners more engaged with the outside world, and I see voting rights as a way of doing that. What's more, how does a prisoner serving two years being allowed to vote affect you? Answer: it doesn't. It has no impact on you and no impact on me.

Listen, I don't sit around all day writing “I am abundant” in a pretty journal or visualizing checks flying into my mailbox.

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

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

The most transparent president in history goes behind closed doors to line his pockets. Plus, the most pro free speech president in history is now banning all international students at Harvard in an unprecedented escalation. Also, the most fiscally responsible president in history unleashes a bill that many Republicans liken to an iceberg of bankruptcy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

Thinking about collecting Social Security while you're still working? It's a tempting option, but there are several crucial mistakes you'll want to avoid. Using real-life stories, I'm laying out the four big pitfalls, like earning over the social security limit, jeopardizing your health savings account, mishandling Medicare enrollment, and forgetting about tax withholding. These missteps can lead to unnecessary penalties, and so I want to give some actionable strategies to help you make the most of your benefits without unpleasant surprises.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Four key factors to consider before collecting Social Security while you're still working. [06:04] Collecting benefits while working can affect HSA contributions. [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.
