What if you could turn a $5K/month business into $80K/month in under a year? That’s exactly what Chan Yuenenyi did. In this episode, Jaryd Krause chats with the founder and CEO of EssayGrader AI—the world’s leading AI grading platform trusted by over 100,000 educators. When Chan bought the business, it was generating only $5,000 per month. Fast-forward less than a year later, and he’d scaled it to $80,000/month, hitting $1M in annual recurring revenue. But here’s the twist: Chan didn’t chase shiny tactics or massive ad budgets.He used precision. Systems. Deep understanding of what users actually need. Before founding EssayGrader AI, Chan managed a billion-dollar product line at OpenText. So, he knew one thing most first-time buyers miss—buying a business is easy. Growing one takes vision. In this conversation, you’ll discover how he:

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Choosing guarantees over speculation Knowing your "PILL" for protection Building your income floor Balancing risk with security   Key Takeaways:  Crypto investments are like rolling dice, while annuities provide contractual guarantees and predictable results. Building financial security means focusing on what you can count on, not what you can guess. The four reasons for owning an annuity are Principal Protection, Income for Life, Legacy, and Long-Term Care. These act as anchors for stability when market uncertainty rises. Social Security and pensions already provide a guaranteed income. Evaluating whether you need more ensures that your financial base remains steady even when the markets shake. Instead of chasing bonuses or hypothetical returns, consider moving some assets from high-risk areas like crypto into products with clear, guaranteed outcomes.   "You own an annuity for what it will do, not what it might do. The 'will do' is the contractual guarantees of the policy." —  Stan The Annuity Man   Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

Don and Tom unpack why even smart, financially literate people sometimes need a financial advisor — prompted by Morningstar's Christine Benz explaining why she hires one. They explore the value of second opinions, professional organization, tax guidance, spending permission, and succession planning. The conversation also draws lines around who doesn't need an advisor (DIY investors under 50 with good discipline) versus who does (retirees, disorganized investors, and anyone over 65 facing complexity). Later, they tackle listener questions about small-cap value ETFs — comparing AVUV, DFSV, and SLYV — and close with a retirement scenario review for a disciplined 77-year-old federal retiree. A lighthearted finish touches on long-term care insurance, empty nesting, and the Raiders' black hole stadium. 0:04 Reintroducing the need for financial help (but not that kind of help) 1:17 Christine Benz's surprising admission: she has a financial planner 2:27 The value of a “responsible second opinion” 3:25 Why Benz says peace of mind has real value 3:50 Reasons to hire an advisor: second opinions, tax guidance, rebalancing, perspective 4:54 When hourly financial advice makes sense 6:38 Organization and accountability as hidden benefits 8:08 The disinterested spouse problem 8:40 Why succession planning matters more than you think 9:32 “Permission to spend” — an underrated role of advisors 10:19 Who doesn't need an advisor: young savers and disciplined investors 11:27 When to get a second opinion even if you're DIY 12:18 Spotting bad advice and hidden annuities 13:03 Who does need an advisor: hodgepodge portfolios and over-50 investors 14:09 Complexity and the need for help beyond 65 14:47 The problem of small investors being preyed upon by salespeople 15:52 Listener question: adding small-cap value exposure 16:47 Comparing AVUV, DFSV, and SLYV performance and structure 19:00 Expense ratios and diversification differences 20:18 Don and Tom's ETF verdict 21:10 Retirement checkup: 77-year-old with pension and LTC coverage 22:06 Evaluating liquidity, income, and survivorship 23:48 The vanishing quality of long-term care policies 24:56 Tom's empty-nest plans and aching knee 25:43 Raiders jokes and the black-painted stadium Learn more about your ad choices.

Deep down, I think we all know that history matters. Yet for many of us, the way we learned it in school made it feel distant and inaccessible. It was out of context — abstract, detached from real people and real lives. But when we recall a story from the past centered on an individual, something shifts. Suddenly, we're interested. The details stop feeling like a "history lesson" and become a human story — something that happened to someone. We lean in, curious, engaged, wanting to know more. Paula Richter, curator of the Salem Witch Trials 1692 exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum, brings that human element to life. She not only personalizes the experiences of both the accusers and the accused, but also models a powerful way of thinking: that learning new perspectives matters. Evaluating information through a fresh lens can broaden our understanding and reshape our views. Recognizing that every story is influenced by countless factors — circumstances, relationships, and individual choices — helps us feel more connected to one another and to reality itself. By exploring the Salem Witch Trials more deeply, I've come to realize that we're learning about far more than the late 1600s in what would become the United States. Gaining a clearer sense of what life was like then, how events unfolded, and how people responded in the aftermath reminds me that nothing is ever purely black and white. Living in the gray gives me more space for compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. Make no mistake: this episode focuses on the facts of the Salem Witch Trials as they're currently understood. There was no intention to make it about anything else. Yet what I took away from this conversation — and from this entire series — has truly shaped me into a better version of myself. Listen in as Paula helps us uncover more about the individuals at the heart of the Salem Witch Trials — the accused, the accusers, the murdered, their neighbors, ministers, and government officials. They were all real people, and we talk about all of them. We also explore how we know so much about this period, and how our understanding of history continues to evolve as historians discover more and technology advances. Listen in now!

In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, hosts Vladimir Romanov and Dave Griffith sit down with Davide (David) Pascucci, founder of Bright IA (https://brightiatx.com/), for an in-depth conversation about what it truly takes to build, grow, and succeed in the world of robotics integration and industrial automation.Davide shares his incredible journey from Italy's oil and gas sector to leading one of Texas's most promising automation firms. His story highlights the reality of moving from traditional controls work to full-scale robotics integration. Listeners will learn how his company evolved from small local projects into complex manufacturing solutions involving welding cells, painting robots, and palletizing systems used across multiple industries including food and beverage, fabrication, and renewables.The discussion explores how system integrators can strategically position themselves in the modern automation ecosystem. Davide explains the importance of vendor relationships, revealing how open collaboration with companies like Fanuc and KUKA helped his firm grow while avoiding common pitfalls faced by new integrators. He provides practical insights into how to evaluate robot brands, manage the mechanical design and safety aspects of projects, and find the right balance between in-house engineering and subcontracting work.Listeners will also hear a detailed perspective on the Texas manufacturing landscape, where oil and gas still dominate but are now accompanied by a new wave of innovation from defense, aerospace, semiconductor, and AI-driven industries. Davide explains how these shifts are creating a demand for flexible automation and robotics expertise across the region.A large portion of the conversation focuses on the real-world challenges that come with integrating robots on the factory floor. Davide talks about dealing with customers who insist on collaborative robots when industrial robots are better suited for the job. He describes how simulation and digital twin tools can help demonstrate cycle times and prove system capabilities before implementation. His transparency about pricing, quoting, and project management makes this a must-listen episode for anyone looking to understand the business side of integration, not just the technical aspects.The episode also explores how smaller robotics firms can collaborate with European and Asian OEMs that are entering the North American market. Davide shares the lessons he learned when working with foreign manufacturers, emphasizing that support, spare parts, and local presence are often more valuable than price alone. His advice is invaluable for early-stage integrators trying to evaluate new partnerships or decide which technologies to adopt.As the conversation continues, Davide, Vlad, and Dave discuss what the future holds for robotics integration. Davide predicts an explosion of applications over the next few years, driven by manufacturing reshoring, labor shortages, and advancements in AI and simulation. He believes that companies who fail to automate will simply be left behind. His message to manufacturers is clear: whether you like it or not, automation will be necessary to stay competitive.Listeners will also appreciate Davide's insights into workforce development and training. He believes that plant operators and technicians must reskill to remain relevant in a world where machines are becoming smarter and more autonomous. He shares inspiring stories of training shop floor workers to operate robots with confidence and how empowering end users ultimately makes integration projects more successful and sustainable.Toward the end of the episode, the group reflects on what it means to build a modern systems integration business. Davide shares lessons on quoting, scaling a team, developing repeatable processes, and thinking strategically about products versus projects. His perspective highlights the difference between being a contractor and building a true business that can scale and create long-term value.Finally, the conversation closes with book recommendations that have shaped Davide's thinking, including Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink, Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell, and of course, the timeless lessons found in The Bible. These selections capture the mindset of a leader who believes in responsibility, efficiency, and personal growth.If you are an engineer, systems integrator, plant manager, or decision-maker in manufacturing, this episode will give you a firsthand look into the future of robotics integration. It will help you understand how to evaluate partners, manage projects, and prepare your organization for the next generation of automation.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and overview of the Systems Integrator theme 03:00 Davide's journey from Italy to Texas and his shift from oil and gas to robotics 06:00 How Automation Stars of Texas was created and what the event represents 07:30 The Texas manufacturing ecosystem and opportunities in automation 10:00 Transitioning from traditional controls work to robotics integration 12:00 The learning curve of programming robots and managing motion systems 16:00 Deciding when to specialize versus subcontracting mechanical and electrical work 19:00 Lessons from growing Bright IA and balancing costs, scope, and risk 21:00 Building strong relationships with robot manufacturers such as Fanuc and KUKA 26:00 The importance of vendor support and collaboration for small integrators 29:00 Managing CAD and mechanical design in robotics projects 33:00 The reality of collaborative robots compared to industrial robots 36:00 Evaluating low-cost robotic arms and the trade-offs of price versus support 41:00 How simulation and digital twins improve quoting and validation 48:00 Why some robotics projects fail and how to recover or redesign them 52:00 Working with European and Asian OEMs and lessons in market adaptation 58:00 Advice for new integrators on partnerships, quoting, and strategy 01:04:00 Predicting the future of robotics and automation in the next three years 01:07:00 Career advice for engineers looking to transition into robotics 01:11:00 Book recommendations and leadership lessons 01:13:00 Davide's vision for new robotic product development and AI applicationsBooks Mentioned Extreme Ownership – Jocko Willink and Leif Babin Buy Back Your Time – Dan Martell The BibleGuest Davide (David) Pascucci Founder and President, Bright IA Website: https://brightiatx.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidepascucci/Bright IA is an automation and robotics integration firm based in Texas, providing complete engineering solutions for manufacturing environments, including welding systems, palletizing, safety integration, and industrial control design.Hosts Vladimir Romanov – Founder of Joltek (https://www.joltek.com), Electrical Engineer, Consultant, and Co-Host of Manufacturing Hub Dave Griffith – Founder of Dave Griffith C...
