Thinking about selling your fitness studio one day? The smartest move is to start preparing long before you're ready. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Mitch McGinley, Founder and CEO of Boutique Fitness Broker, who has guided countless entrepreneurs through one of the biggest transitions of their lives—selling their business. With experience spanning studios, spas, gyms, and beyond, Mitch brings both empathy and expertise to the exit process. In this episode, he shares common mistakes to avoid, trends shaping boutique fitness, and how to set up your business so it sells for the maximum value. Key Takeaways: → How selling a yoga studio opened the door to advising others. → The difference between being a broker, consultant, and advisor. → How biggest mistakes business owners make include having messy books, unclear HR, and being too tied to the business. → Why talking openly about selling makes deals easier and better. → How to turn a dragged-out deal into a multimillion-dollar exit. Mitch McGinley is a former studio owner, business broker and exit planning advisor specializing in boutique fitness. He originally worked in hotel management with Omni Hotels, and then with an investor who was flipping boutique hotels in San Diego. Shortly thereafter, he and his wife Karson bought their favorite yoga studio. During that time he began consulting in the boutique fitness industry, teaching seminars at Mindbody University and other fitness conferences all over the world, helping studio owners make better business decisions. After successfully selling his studio in 2019, he merged all of his worlds to create Boutique Fitness Broker, helping other entrepreneurs in this industry maximize their biggest payday. He has helped facilitate over 60 transactions in the past five years, with over $10M in transacted value in 2024 alone.

The road was anything but smooth, but nearly a year of resilience paid off in a big way.

He shares hard earned stories, practical tools founders can use right away, and bold leadership insights that challenge how organizations grow. If you want a proven and scalable system for building healthier teams, stronger cultures, and high value companies, this episode delivers the blueprint.Tune in and learn how to rethink your business from the inside out.

BT & Sal ignite a debate over Mets President David Stearns' disciplined, non-budging stance on a three-year contract for Pete Alonso. Sal believes Alonso is "100% gone" for at least four years elsewhere, but Tierney respects Stearns' hard line—if he wins! The pressure is immense: if Stearns lets fan-favorite Alonso walk and the team loses, he's a "dead man." The discussion heats up over the possibility of the Mets pursuing Kyle Schwarber, with the hosts agreeing that if Stearns gives Schwarber (who is two years older) more years or money than Alonso, it would be a "dirty" move and a massive blunder. Callers chime in, suggesting front-loaded deals, while the hosts ultimately acknowledge that Stearns must be allowed to build the team his way, or else the model breaks. The excitement builds imagining a Lindor-Schwarber-Soto three-man tandem.

Exit Interview: Fifth Juror on Survivor 49 Rob Cesternino (@RobCesternino) interviews the latest castaway voted off the Survivor 49 island, followed by This Week In Survivor History with Jordan Kalish (@JordanKalish) where Rob plays against an RHAP patron. Survivor 49's final seven exit interview takes center stage as Rob Cesternino sits down with Sophie Segretti to unravel one of the most dramatic blindsides of the season. Rob explores Sophie's perspective being off the radar early on to suddenly becoming the unifying target for two rival alliances. Rob opens the interview by spotlighting Sophie's unique journey through Survivor 49: after flying under the radar, she emerged as a key strategic player whose moves drew the attention of both warring factions at Tribal Council. Sophie describes her genuine shock at being unanimously voted out, connecting the blindside to her close bond and fallout with Sage. She explains the critical decision to vote out Jawan, believing her relationship with Sage was her biggest asset, yet recognizing, too late, that her choice may have sparked Sage's determination for revenge. Listen in for these standout moments and Survivor insights: – Sophie's reaction to becoming the rare player taken out by two opposing groups working together – The emotional and strategic ripple effect from voting out Jawan instead of Sage – Why Sophie chose to stick with Savannah and Rizzo, balancing the numbers in alliances – How lack of information-sharing from one group contrasted with Savannah's open gameplay – Steven's pivotal immunity win sealing Sophie's fate as the only viable target As Rob and Sophie break the episode down, they consider: Did trusting Sage cost Sophie her game? How much do alliances depend on sharing secrets and advantages at crunch time? And what does this vote signal for future blindsides as Survivor 49 hurtles toward the finale?

“As much as I wanted to win – what I really was after, what really drove me was finding out how good I could be. And it turns out I did. I found out how good I could be. I had a four or five-year stretch where seventh place in Boston was as good as I could be and 2:09:02 and 2:08:52 – right in that range was as fast as I could run. So, I found out. And it wasn't good enough to win a major, but it was fun. It was a lot of fun to find out.”My guest on today's episode is a close friend of CITIUS MAG and for the better part of a decade, one of the most respected, most relatable marathoners in the United States: Scott Fauble. He's here with us for a big announcement after years of doing things his way and doing them well. Scott is officially retiring from professional running.If you've followed American marathoning at any point over the last seven or eight years, you know that Scott wasn't just good; he was consistently, relentlessly, unapologetically confident. Boston became his stage. He was top American in 2019, 2022, and 2023, each time dipping under 2:10 back when that wasn't happening all that often. He even beat Conner Mantz in Boston before Conner became the star that we know now.If Scott had spent the last few years chasing flat fast courses like Chicago or London, his PR probably would live somewhere in the 2:07s. But that was never the point. You could hear it in past interviews that we've done with him. Scott built his career with a chip on his shoulder and gave American fans something real to root for at these major marathons. His toughness, his honesty, and the way he kept leveling up made you believe in the power of hard work.In this episode, we look back on his career, unpack what happened over the last few years, and talk about what it means to move on and move forward from the sport that shaped him.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guest: Scott Fauble | @sfaubs on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSNOMIO: Made with 80% broccoli sprout juice, 15% lemon juice, and 5% sugar, Nomio activates your body's natural defense systems to reduce lactate, speed recovery, and enhance muscle adaptation.

In this engaging episode of MSP Business School, host Brian Doyle welcomes guest Bobby Jacobs from Thread, an AI-driven service delivery platform. Their discussion centers around Bobby's journey to becoming a leader at Thread, his entrepreneurial background, and the continuous evolution within the MSP community driven by AI technological advancements. As they reminisce about their recent meetup at IT Nation, Bobby sheds light on how Thread has grown beyond just a typical service provider to being an innovator mentioned for changing service delivery paradigms with AI. Bobby Jacobs explores the shifting landscape of MSPs, emphasizing the importance of automation and self-service capabilities in service desks. He notes the criticality of adapting to changes driven by AI, which enables MSPs to streamline operations and improve service quality while maintaining competitive pricing. With AI technologies allowing automation of mundane tasks, Bobby argues that MSPs should embrace these changes or capitalize on the current peak in MSP valuations to sell. Brian and Bobby further highlight the potential for MSPs to transform and deliver even deeper value to customers through these innovative solutions. Key Takeaways: Adapting with AI: Embracing AI in service delivery is a growing necessity, enabling MSPs to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve service quality. Change in Metrics: Traditional metrics like endpoint-to-technician ratios are being redefined by AI, necessitating changes in service desk strategies for better efficiency. Sales Enablement: Bobby highlights the importance of grooming MSP sales teams to accurately scope opportunities and communicate AI benefits to end customers. Embracing Innovation or Exit: MSPs should either embrace AI-driven changes or consider selling while valuations are high, as standing still is not an option. Exciting Opportunities: There is great potential for MSPs to innovate and deepen their customer relationships by focusing on AI-driven solutions.

With our free valuation calculator, answer a few questions about your business, and you'll get an immediate estimate of the value of your business. You might be surprised by how much you can get for it: https://flippa.com/exit -- Most business owners believe selling their company is a single event—a signature on a dotted line. But according to Chris Spratling, Founder of Chalk Hill Blue, treating your exit like an event is the fastest way to leave millions on the table. In this episode, we unpack why the "illusion of readiness" kills deal value and why over half of all founders regret their exit within 12 months. Chris shares his experience from the private equity and consulting worlds to explain exactly what modern buyers are looking for. We move beyond basic EBITDA multiples to discuss the psychology of the seller, how to survive forensic due diligence, and the shift from "growth at all costs" to "predictability." If you are building a business with the intention of selling—whether next year or in a decade—this conversation is your blueprint for maximum value and zero regret. In this episode, you will learn: The "Illusion of Readiness": Why having a profitable business does not mean you have a sellable business. The 8-10 Drivers of Value: What acquirers actually look for (hint: it's not just your bottom line). Deal Structure Strategy: How to align earn-outs, non-competes, and tax efficiency with your personal life goals. The Negotiation Edge: How one seller secured a 40% premium over the initial offer simply by being better prepared than the buyer. Market Shifts: Why post-COVID buyers are paying for predictability over hockey-stick growth. The Regret Trap: Why 50% of owners hate their deal a year later and how to ensure you aren't one of them. -- Timestamps: (01:49) Why selling is a journey, not an event (03:36) The difference between Perceived Value and Market Value (05:56) Seller Readiness vs. Business Readiness (09:21) How to negotiate deal structures and multiple bids (17:55) How buyer psychology has changed in the last 5 years (22:54) The #1 piece of advice: "Prepare like your life depends on it" -- Chris Spratling is the founder of Chalkhill Blue Limited, a leading business coaching and consulting practice that helps UK business owners scale effectively and prepare for profitable exits.

December's here, and it's time for the big push through to 2026 and opportunity a new year always brings a business owner to set goals, to lay plans and start acting on them. Yet as you'll hear in this edition of Overdrive Radio, it's also true that in so many ways the time for all of that is now, for any small trucking business owner, at any given moment. Like a football coach responding to what the opposing team throws at his own, a quarterback changing the play at the line, successful owner-operators are nothing if not masters of the art of getting prepped for the unforeseen. It's an impossible ask of anyone in some ways, but also a reality you'll hear through today's talk with four Overdrive Trucker of the Year contenders for this year's title. None less so than owner-operator John Treadway, our September Trucker of the Month. He delivered the shocking news of his pristine 1998 Peterbilt 379's October catastrophic engine failure. How might one prepare for that? Owner Treadway's long experience taught him, like others featured in this roundtable talk, the importance of the back-up plan, and not only could he afford what will ultimately be a reman Caterpillar crate engine powering the unit. The original Cat in the 1998 379 he's hopeful to rebuild with some close associates, furthermore, to in future repower his back-up power unit. That backup, a 2006 379, with plenty miles on the odometer itself, is yet another element of Treadways effective prep for the October catastrophe. It's enable him to continue serving his primary and other customers as Caterpillar works through issues with the engine replacement. His isn't the only update you'll get from owners in this podcast, where host and Overdrive Chief Editor Todd Dills put two principal questions to four owners: 1. How's business looking as we head into 2026, and have any goals set early in year 2025 been brought to fruition? 2. Reflecting on your own history trucking, what's the single best piece of advice you might deliver to new and/or aspiring owner-operators to help on the long road to success? Featured, along with Indiana-headquartered Treadway: **John Penn, our most-recent Trucker of the Month in October, hauling LTL furniture principally: https://overdriveonline.com/15770500 **Similarly LTL-focused fresh meat reefer hauler Jason Shelly, based in Pennsylvania: https://overdriveonline.com/15753418 **And two-truck dump fleet owner (with a third truck in more OTR work) Hunter Hubbard: https://overdriveonline.com/15741276 Overdrive's Trucker of the Year competition is sponsored for 2025 by Bostrom Seating -- there's a new seat on the line for the contenders. Consider this roundtable the "Exit interviews" with each ahead of announcements late this month of finalists, after the judging round. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more featured contenders.

exit 77 (Instrumental) -ũ. (Unreleased) DBA Blū Tha Gürū A kite in the wind And a knot that was tied at the rock, And a solemn last thought, For a drop of your pronouns; Wild and twisted the time Or the will of the tale to be told As if tongue handn't strung that same one– Still yonder the surface But never that gathered To wake and to wild her thirst At the alter The christened and severed, But glistened as cherubs had waited her heralded platters See, i told you it was the feast. I couldn't figure out what “heralded” would have to do with “platters” Then again nothing much made sense at the time anymore as it was, or for that matter as much as it did therefore after–sometimes much after–timetimes weeks, and sometimes years, and sometimes what was heard to bear, the weight of eons passed between one thing and another. Entire worlds and lifetimes i'd had my eye and the back of my eye on, though departed, however as such categorized as things which could not have ever possibly have been discussed with one person or another–because, of course, however cosmic–they could not be explained, nor verified. It was the greatest secret I ever had, and it was in every single essence of the word a very secret. It wasn't so deep or dark or anything which would convey that it should not be shared–but in the nature that it had come to me, in itself it was a very rare thing which could not be taught, or talked about. Some kind of work of art, or act of God, or reward for having such a hard love–but it might have been the cruelest one, especially because it wasn't dark, or amoral, or beyond ordinary at all outside of how it had been thought–or born in thought in the very moment of that inconsiderate system of escape in that which is the essence of presence, if even for a moment, of someone whom you very much love–even though present it is not. It is this, transference of energetic movement one might refer to as shapeshifting, and in some unwritten form of parallel I had been given this sort of encrypted phantom of knowledge i'd had my mind set on being wrapped around.But for that matter, whatever cloud I sat on no matter how high up, i had to live in such a way that I could convince myself to understand that every now and again, this one and I would cross paths. For now, it was the best and worst secret I could ever have–the best because it was one I could have, and the worst because it was the most interesting thought–a puzzle solved and yet without any satisfaction because though the pieces had been put together, perhaps in a way you couldn't ever know what it was. This finished picture with fitting edges and four sharp corners with no discernable art that made it up. ‘What is that supposed to be.' Then, this is pertaining to the assumption that you've for whatever reason the skill or need to put together this puzzle without ever having or having seen a picture of the box–just fitting the marked edges that ran along each other all together until one by one they all had a place to go–rectangular in shape and perfectly fitting and still in all that time and effort having done what you thought needed to be done in order to know what that might have been a picture of… You have no idea. And worse, it emulates no known abstract art–it seems less even than just a conglomerate mix of things, or a half-thought, or a pre-emptive idea–it just was jumbled, and now it's not.

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 30, 2025 – 2:00 pmMicrosoft Teams:Segment 1 – Prospects – NL East – Atlanta Braves and Miami MarlinsQuick BreakSegment 2 – News and Notes1.Light week due to the holiday but we did have another big trade. The Rangers trade Marcus Seimen to the Mets for Brandon Nimmo. a.I wrote 1000 words about the deal to our Patreon members. What did you think of the deal?b.We just talked about the Mets last Sunday and I don't know if this clarifies things or makes it more muddled. We will look at both the infield and outfieldc.We discussed Josh Smith getting time in the outfield last week, but assuming they don't sign anyone, he should open as the starting second baseman. Thoughts on Josh Smith at second?2.The Blue Jays made noise by signing Dylan Cease for 7-years and $210 million. WOW. That's a lot of scratch. Did you like the signing?3.The Orioles finally spend a little bit of money, signing Ryan Helsley to a 2-year, $28 million contract. It takes a big closer arm off the board. Your thoughts?Segment 3 – Fantasy Questions of the NL East – NationalsWashington Nationals1.James Wood hit 31 home runs last season, but only 7 in the second half. He's the ninth outfielder off the board. Is that something that appeals to you?a.We will look at other outfielders going around him2.Dylan Crews – sigh.a.2026 stat line – AB, HR, SB, and BA3.I liked Brady House in the minor leagues and have him in one Dynasty League. I'm worried that his poor approach is catching up to him. In 74 MLB games, he walked eight times. a.Is this a growth stock or someone who will start the season in the minor leagues?b.The NFBC drafters are not bullish as he's the 46th third baseman off the board (ADP of 598). Is that worth a pick in the low 30s in D&H Leagues?4.Daylen Lile showed flashes last season, posting a .299 batting average with nine home runs and eight stolen bases in 351 plate appearances.a.The NFBC drafters seem to think he's a growth stock as he's the 50th outfielder off the board. Is a strong #4 starter feel right or is that a bit too rich?5.Out of the Nationals starters, which pitcher intrigues you the most?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Segment 4 – Fantasy Questions of the AL East – Orioles and Red SoxBaltimore Orioles1.After winning 91 games in 2024, the Orioles lost 87 games in 2025. Do they bounce back in 2026? How many games do they win?2.Samuel Bassalo – 2026 stat line - AB, HR, BA3.Gunnar Henderson hit 37 home runs in 2024 but only 17 in 2025. Exit velo is still 92.1 MPH (down slightly from 2024 – 92.8) but still in the top 10 percentile of the league. Over/Under 30 home runs in 2026?4.Nobody seems to be buying Coby Mayo's late home run surge as his ADP is 480 and he's the 31st first baseman off the board. Are you buying it?5.Trevor Rogers was a revelation last season, posting a 1.81 ERA in 18 starts. However, his xERA was 3.41 and he only struck out 8.8 per nine. He's going as the 66th pitcher off the board, or the 50th starting pitcher. Are you comfortable taking him as a strong number four starter?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Boston Red Sox1.Roman Anthony – 2026 stat line - AB, HR, SB, and BA2.I've longed been a fan of Marcelo Mayer, but his injury history is giving me pause. Plus, he wasn't very good after getting the callup. Does he get 500 PA in 2026?a.He's going as an after thought in drafts – 502 AB (34th round) or #33 third base. Any interest?3.Is Kristian Campbell a Red Sox on April 1?a.He's going before Marcelo Mayer at 480. Any interest?4.Connelly Early (#81) or Payton Tolle (#137)5.Any reason to not think of Aroldis Chapman as a Top 10 Closer?6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Close

Most founders think the hardest part of selling their company is the deal itself. But as Jerome Myers reveals, the real challenge begins in the silence that follows. In this deeply honest solo episode, Jerome breaks down the emotional, identity, and relational fears that make exits so difficult — and why avoiding these truths leads to regret, stalled decisions, and post-exit collapse. Using the metaphor of Pandora's Box, he explains that what founders fear isn't the future — it's finally having to face everything they ignored while building the business. Jerome walks through the hidden fears inside the box, the dangers of avoidance, and the power of strategic identity work. He then shares a founder story that transforms fear into clarity, illustrating how an exit can become a portal to personal evolution rather than an ending. Listeners walk away with a roadmap for beginning the internal work now, and an invitation to access the tools that make a healthy transition possible. [00:00–01:15] The Hidden Struggle Founders Never Talk About Founders publicly speak about strategy — but privately struggle with emotional impact Delays, self-sabotage, and regret often stem from unspoken fears The myth of “just sell the company and life gets better” hides deeper challenges [01:16–02:58] The Post-Exit Bliss Myth Money and time alone don't create peace or fulfillment Many founders experience emptiness, restlessness, and identity confusion post-exit Silence after the sale can feel louder and more destabilizing than the chaos before [02:59–05:05] What's Really Inside Pandora's Box Identity loss: If you're not the CEO anymore, who are you? Purpose loss: The fires and urgency disappear — and so does direction Relationship reckoning: Exit removes the busyness barrier that kept issues hidden Unrealized dreams: Success may have cost parts of the life you wanted [05:06–06:29] Avoidance: The Silent Exit Killer Avoiding emotional work leads to poor decisions: rushing, undervaluing, or holding too long Spouses and children experience sudden shifts when founders “come home” without purpose Emotional instability during exit negotiations can cost millions [06:30–07:48] Clarity as the Antidote Clarity prevents chaos, not causes it. Frameworks like the Founder's Exit Paradox and NEO Assessment stabilize foundersThis is strategic identity work, not therapy You cannot build a meaningful “next” without knowing who you're becoming [07:49–10:00] A Founder's Story & Your Invitation Forward A successful founder feared the silence after the sale more than the deal itselfOpening the box led to purpose, reconnection, and meaning beyond achievement The work he avoided became his gateway to the life he wanted Key Quotes: “Clarity does not unleash chaos.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Mitch McGinley, founder of Boutique Fitness Broker, joins the podcast to share how he transformed a struggling yoga studio into a 5× exit and went on to help over 70 owners sell their businesses. He talks about growing his brokerage to $20M in annual deals, the emotional ups and downs of exiting, and the common mistakes owners make when preparing for a sale. Mitch opens up about navigating COVID, learning disciplined focus, and building a business that now supports his dream life in Spain. His journey blends resilience, smart strategy, and deep passion for helping small business owners achieve life-changing exits. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Mitch McGinley says the hardest thing in growing a small business is learning how to say no. He explains that owners constantly get pulled in different directions — ideas, opportunities, people, problems — and without the discipline to say no, you end up overwhelmed and unfocused. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Mitch McGinley says his favorite business book is "Built to Sell" because it clearly explains how to shape a business into a scalable, well-structured operation that can run without the owner and eventually be sold for strong value, making it one of the most useful guides he's ever read. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Mitch McGinley says there are many great podcasts and online learning resources to help grow a small business, but instead of naming just one, he recommends continuously listening to a wide variety of shows and learning platforms because each one offers unique perspectives, lessons, and insights that can help business owners improve their skills, sharpen their thinking, and stay adaptable as their business grows. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Mitch McGinley says that the number one tool or resource he recommends for growing a small business is artificial intelligence, because owners who don't embrace AI right now risk falling behind, while those who use it can save time, make smarter decisions, improve marketing, and operate far more efficiently. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Mitch McGinley says the advice he would give himself on day one of starting out in business is simply "It's gonna be okay." He explains that the journey is full of stress, doubt, and unexpected challenges, but looking back, he realizes that things always work out when you stay consistent, keep learning, and push through the hard moments.

Exit 5C. Righteousness Practiced With Consideration (Part B)

This session will walk you through the key legal steps to build a business that's ready for investment and eventually for sale. We will dive into the legal side of raising capital. From friends and family to private investors or venture capital. We will demystify the capital raising process – covering commonly used private placement exemptions like Regulation D (Rules 506(b) and 506(c)), basic compliance responsibilities, and the kinds of disclosures and filings that may be required to stay on the right side of the law. Next, we'll look ahead to your exit strategy. Whether you are planning to retire, sell to a competitor, or transition the business to current owner, we will discuss what makes the business sellable, what buyers expect, how deals are structured, how businesses are valued, and the professionals who can help you do it right. This session is ideal for business owners who want to grow with intention, raise money the right way, and make choices that keep their options open for a successful exit.

Pooya and Scally talk to the latest contestant banished in The Traitors Canada Season 3.

From history teacher to CEO, Dan Peltz never planned on becoming an entrepreneur — but when he saw a gap in how young adults with special needs were supported after graduation, he built something extraordinary. This week, the Blue Collar Twins, Jason and Jeremy Julio, sit down with the founder of Shift New Jersey to uncover how a simple idea turned into a statewide service helping thousands — and ultimately, a multi-million-dollar acquisition. Dan shares how he launched Shift with no business experience, survived losing his investors just six months in, and scaled the company to 40+ employees and over a thousand clients served each month. He opens up about leadership lessons from the front lines — building systems, hiring for personality over experience, and surrounding himself with mentors who kept him grounded through growth. Now serving as Director of Organizational Effectiveness for the company that acquired Shift, Dan reflects on what it takes to balance impact with income — and why sometimes the right move isn't to double down, but to step back.

Today's Headlines: A judge just tossed the Trump administration's cases against James Comey and Letitia James because prosecutor Lindsey Halligan wasn't legally appointed. The cases could technically come back… except the statute of limitations already expired for Comey. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is now investigating Senator Mark Kelly for “sedition” over that video telling troops not to follow illegal orders — and they can only target him because he's the only veteran in the group who's formally retired. In MAGA meltdown news, Punchbowl is reporting more House Republicans are eyeing the exits as they brace for a midterm wipeout and the likely end of Mike Johnson's speakership. DOGE — Elon and Trump's short-lived Department of Government Efficiency — has also mysteriously vanished eight months early after accomplishing…well, nothing. Speaking of Elon, Twitter/X's new transparency feature instantly exposed a bunch of “patriotic American” MAGA accounts as being run from places like Russia, Nigeria, and Portugal. The feature was turned off, then on again, like someone panicking with a light switch. In actual public health news, Gallup says nearly 1 in 10 Americans have been diagnosed with cancer — the highest yet — even though death rates have improved. Age is still the #1 risk factor. And finally, Xi Jinping called Trump to pitch his “Taiwan belongs to China” position. Trump later bragged that Xi invited him to Beijing but conveniently forgot to mention Taiwan at all. Shocking no one, it doesn't seem to be his favorite geopolitical toy.
