It’s getting harder for unhoused people in Tacoma to find a place to spend the night. Last week, the city council there voted narrowly, 5-to-4, to expand buffer zones where encampments are not allowed. The new ban, which went into effect this week, includes areas within two blocks of public schools, parks, libraries, and most of downtown and Hilltop. Critics say this only makes it harder for people to find a place to sleep.

In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most charged and fascinating topics in entrepreneurship - money. We'll talk about what money really means, whether you should set money goals, and why traditional “money mindset” advice barely scratches the surface of what actually shifts your reality.I'm also sharing my personal evolution when it comes to “talking about money” online (and some huge wins in the past week).Follow Joella on Instagram and DM “Mentor” to inquire about 1:1 spots: www.instagram.com/joellaskoogh

The Matrix at Cosm in LA opened on June 6th, 2025, which leverages Cosm's 87-foot, 12K+ LED immersive dome to show this classic film within a 16x9 frame while the additional space beyond the frame was filled with over 50 different scenes thereby expanding the worldbuilding beyond the frame. I finally had a chance to see it last month, and was really impressed with how much this additional space was able to increase the level of immersion, to amplify key emotional beats within the film, and create some truly awe-inspiring moments. I had a chance to speak with Alexis Scalice, Cosm's vice president of business development and entertainment, about Cosm's collaboration with Little Cinema, MakeMake, and Warner Brothers to launch their inaugural "Cinematic Shared Reality" immersive experience. The Matrix has a few more weeks of screenings before their second film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) opens on November 21, 2025. You can also hear more context from in Noah Nelson's No Proscencium podcast interview with Little Cinema's Jay Rinsky conducted ahead of the world premiere. And I also share some impressions of the two enhanced cinema productions of The Black Phone and M3GAN within Blumhouse Enhanced Cinema Quest App. These films have some similarities to what The Matrix at Cosm is doing, but at a much smaller scale and not nearly as effective as the expanded immersive worldbuilding in one of the greatest science fiction films of all time. The Matrix at Cosm is setting a quality high bar for this type of format that is going to be difficult to match. You can see more context in the rough transcript below.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton remains a headline force as November 2025 unfolds with several major developments. One story rocketing across both mainstream outlets and social media was Dolly's unexpected health scare, which began when her sister Freida Parton posted on Facebook asking fans to join her in prayer for Dolly who, it was stated, “hasn't been feeling her best lately.” This triggered a wave of concern and speculation until Dolly herself posted a reassuring video on Instagram declaring, “I ain't dead yet!” and telling fans she's working hard between treatments, having let her health slip after husband Carl Dean's passing earlier this year. Dolly insists her issues are manageable, though she did postpone some public appearances and Las Vegas concert dates to focus on treatment and recovery. She emphasized, “I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me and I ain't done working.” This candid approach, amplified by outlets like AOL and USA Today, has put rumors to bed for now, though some sources such as RadarOnline continue to dwell on unconfirmed kidney issues and canceled appearances.On the business front, Dolly is full throttle with hospitality and tourism expansion. According to multiple outlets including Blooloop, People, and KIIM-FM, she has just opened reservations for her much-touted SongTeller Hotel in Nashville, set for a June 2026 grand opening. Embracing her trademark Southern style, the hotel features 245 rooms and themed music venues Jolene's and Dolly's Live. Perhaps the biggest draw will be the adjoining Life of Many Colors Museum on the third floor, a sprawling immersive exhibition of Dolly's career, which she promises will be the “largest exhibit celebrating her life anywhere to date.” Both the hotel and museum are being touted as Dolly's “love letter to the city of Nashville,” with advance museum tickets selling briskly according to several reports.Dollywood also remains in the spotlight as Dolly and her partners at Herschend Family Entertainment reveal ambitious plans for five resorts and a possible expansion toward year-round operation by 2050, outlined in Knoxville News Sentinel. Four hundred acres are already reserved for new lodging, with themes and activities all referencing moments from Dolly's life, ensuring a lasting connection for visitors and the next generation of fans.On the cultural and performance circuit, Dolly's multimedia project Threads: My Songs in Symphony is set for a North Carolina Symphony premiere later this month, with Parton appearing on screen to narrate her story and introduce new orchestral versions of hits such as Jolene and I Will Always Love You. Meanwhile, her hit-packed musical 9 to 5 will be staged at Interlochen Arts Academy on November 16th, highlighting her enduring influence on stage and screen.On social media, Dolly's TikTok account exploded once more when she reposted her previously recorded stripped-down cover of What's Up with original songwriter Linda Perry, cleverly capitalizing on the viral “What's Up Beez in the Trap” mashup phenomena. Fans and celebrities are pouring on praise: “Dolly is my President,” reads one TikTok comment, reinforcing her unbeatable status as a cross-generational icon.In publishing, Dolly is the subject of a new biography, Ain't Nobody's Fool: The Life and Times of Dolly Parton, scheduled for December 30, 2025, and a coffee table book Star of the Show: My Life on Stage arriving November 11.Rounding things out, Pirates Voyage and other Parton-affiliated attractions are set for holiday themed shows and special events—further cementing Dolly's status not only as a star but as a multi-industry mogul who refuses to slow down, despite the recent spate of health rumors. For now, the queen of country looks ready for her next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green spoke with Mark Murphy, CEO of Greenlight Networks, about the company's definitive agreement to acquire FastBridge Fiber, a move that strengthens Greenlight's growing presence in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Greenlight Networks, a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) provider, currently passes over 300,000 homes across New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. With the FastBridge acquisition, the company will add approximately 75,000 homes in Pennsylvania and Buffalo to its expanding footprint. “This acquisition is about building on strengths, not replacing them,” said Murphy. “FastBridge brings tremendous sales and marketing depth that perfectly complements our network expansion and local market strategy.” Murphy emphasized that Greenlight's mission extends beyond delivering high-speed broadband—it's about transforming how communities work, live, and play. “When we enter a community, it's game-changing,” he said. “These are often places that haven't had true broadband competition or gigabit speeds. We focus on partnership and being part of the local fabric, not just another provider.” The acquisition also supports Greenlight's ambitious goal to reach half a million homes by 2026, accelerating its growth through strategic integration and regional expertise. Beyond residential customers, Murphy noted the company's ongoing collaborations with carriers and enterprise partners, including Crown Castle, Zayo, Cogent, and Lumen, to deliver cost-effective connectivity and fiber access across markets. Greenlight's customer-first approach has earned national recognition—Consumer Reports named it the top internet service provider in the U.S. for two consecutive years, reflecting the company's commitment to performance, value, and customer care. “At the end of the day, we're not just delivering broadband—we're delivering opportunity and reliability to communities that need it most,” Murphy said.

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a significant milestone in the company's capital markets strategy, announcing that its common shares are now listed for trading on Tradegate Exchange in Germany using “KD0”. This expanded trading access will enable European investors to buy and sell First Phosphate shares during regular EU market hours and extended trading windows across multiple European time zones. Passalacqua says the new listing is designed to increase visibility, accessibility, and international shareholder participation as the company advances its role in securing the North American and European lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery supply chain. The Tradegate listing complements as to the company's other existing public market presence on the Canadian Securities Exchange, OTCQX, and Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Tradegate, known for supporting globally focused companies, offers another platform for European investors who share First Phosphate's mission to onshore critical battery materials and reduce supply-chain reliance on offshore phosphate sources. Passalacqua highlighted that the company recently achieved a major technological breakthrough, producing commercial-grade LFP 18650 battery cells made entirely from North American critical minerals. These cells were manufactured using high-purity phosphoric acid and iron powder derived from rare igneous anorthosite rock at the company's Bégin-Lamarche property in Quebec — underscoring First Phosphate's ability to deliver a fully integrated and localized LFP cathode supply chain solution. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #phosphate #CriticalMinerals #BatteryMaterials #LFPCathode #FirstPhosphate #CanadaMining #GreenEnergy #SupplyChain #QuebecMining #EVBatteries #dod

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has taken center stage again this week both in the news and across social media with a series of developments that underscore her enduring cultural impact and business acumen. In Nashville Dolly just announced that her SongTeller Hotel and Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum are now taking reservations and pre-sale tickets ahead of their June 2026 grand opening. As described in Parton's own words through a video message, the venture will bring a 245-room hotel with two signature music venues and a massive 20000 square foot museum—the largest dedicated to her career—right to the heart of Music City. According to official press materials the museum promises an immersive journey through her music film television and philanthropy and aims to draw fans from around the globe. This is a headline that is likely to have long-lasting impact on Nashville tourism business and Dolly's legacy, since she is already an anchor for regional economic and cultural development.Not to be outdone in the publishing world Parton's third major book Star of the Show My Life on Stage will hit shelves November 11, chronicling nearly six decades spent on the road and stage. Publishers and industry observers are already touting it as a likely bestseller given her previous volume's success. Just as notable on the music front Dolly's Threads My Songs in Symphony has upcoming performances throughout November including stops with the North Carolina Symphony and a major booking at the Oklahoma City Civic Center Music Hall. These high-profile engagements feature multimedia orchestral reinterpretations of hits like Jolene and Coat of Many Colors plus new songs from her forthcoming Broadway musical. In Dolly's own words the project is “about sharing my music and my musical journey with audiences in a new way,” and orchestrated shows like these only expand her cross-generational appeal.Broadway buzz continues to build with Dolly A True Original Musical set for its official Broadway debut in 2026. Between that, the upcoming museum, and a feature spot in the Country Music Hall of Fame's Journey of a Seeker exhibit, it's impossible to ignore the biographical significance of this moment in her career.Over on social media, country star Megan Moroney went viral for her Halloween homage in which she dressed as Dolly's iconic 1978 Playboy bunny, earning viral praise and some confusion from fans who thought she was the queen herself. While Dolly has not commented publicly, this widespread sharing underscores how deeply her style and persona influence younger artists and the broader pop culture.It should be noted that Dolly herself has not been making personal public appearances in the past few days, with her presence instead focused on orchestrated events and digital outreach, but her business announcements and cross-platform activity keep her squarely in the public eye with headlines that will likely shape her story for years to come. There are no major speculations or unconfirmed reports at this time—only a steady drumbeat of news confirming Dolly's unmatched status as a cultural icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Our guest on this week's episode is Brodie Sutherland, CEO of Patriot Critical Minerals Corp. Just yesterday a major issue on the agenda for the meeting between President Trump and China's President Xi's was access to critical minerals, including rare earth minerals. It looks like the Chinese ban on exporting these crucial minerals will now be lifted, but that ban reminds us of how vulnerable our supply chains are to assuring that critical minerals are available for production of semiconductors, military equipment, and the electronics that run our everyday lives. Sutherland leads a company that is looking to begin mining of America's largest deposit of tungsten, located in Nevada. He shares about the importance of assuring a domestic supply of critical minerals. As technologies advance, companies are finding even greater need for digitalization of their supply chains. Nearly 40% of companies surveyed recently say they will allocate more than a quarter of their 2026 budgets to technology investments, according to information from logistics technology platform and solutions provider Ontegos Cloud.This week we've seen continued momentum in companies expanding their networks of self driving cars and trucks. Most of what we're seeing falls into the category of carriers dipping their toe in the water, and trying out pilot projects or proof of concept trials. But the technology does seem to be getting more reliable and these week we see two more examples. We discuss what is being done and how human drivers are reacting to the potential of being replaced. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

At the Crexendo UGM, Jeff Korn, CEO of Crexendo, spoke with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, about the company's record growth, customer-first philosophy, and expanding global capabilities. The conversation took place at the historic Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach — a fitting venue for a company celebrating both legacy and innovation. The event marked a major milestone as Crexendo approached (and soon after surpassed) seven million users, underscoring its status as one of the fastest-growing platform providers in the communications industry. “We're the fastest-growing platform provider in the country,” Korn said. “Our growth is driven by the best people, products, and service in the industry — bar none.” Korn attributes much of the company's success to its “sessions, not seats” pricing model, which allows partners to pay only for what is actually used — a flexibility especially valuable in large environments such as hospitality. “Our model provides real value,” he explained. “If your phones aren't in use, you're not paying for idle capacity. It's simple, fair, and efficient.” Beyond its pricing innovation, Crexendo continues to invest heavily in open APIs and its EVP program, a new company store where licensees and developers can access or offer third-party applications to customize and extend the NetSapiens platform. “We're giving our partners limitless possibilities to differentiate,” Korn said. “It's an ecosystem that keeps growing every year — just look at the number of vendors and integrations showcased here at the UGM.” Korn also highlighted the company's global expansion powered by its partnership with Oracle Cloud. “We can now turn up an instance in one or two days and meet data sovereignty requirements anywhere in the world,” he said. “That capability has already enabled us to serve customers in regions like Africa — and we're just getting started.” At the heart of Crexendo's success, Korn emphasized, is a commitment to service and community. “We are a company of service,” he said. “We listen, we act, and we care about every one of our licensees. Our success is built on their success.” To learn more about Crexendo's UCaaS and NetSapiens platform solutions, visit www.crexendo.com.

This is the Progress Powering tomorrow. Allen Hall: Alex, welcome back to the show. Thank you so much guys for having me. It sounds like we had a busy blade season with Enerteck up in Canada. It's just a different environment up there. What kind of, uh, repairs have you been working on this year?  Alex Fournier: Uh, really busy. Been some, uh, doing some transfer crack, open window and lighting damage, VGs, installation, polytech, erosion, uh, all that kind of stuff from road access on platform. Um, so we been pretty busy. Yeah. What parts of Canada are you focused on right now? Uh, at the beginning of the season we trying to focus on Quebec 'cause the temperature is getting colder faster. Um, so usually we start with Quebec and then we're making our way up west. So right now our blade season is pretty much done in Quebec, [00:01:00] so now we're focusing in Ontario. Uh, Ontario have way better, uh, temperature right now in Quebec. It might be around 15 to 20 degrees up north. Versus in Ontario that right now it's around 22, 25 degrees Celsius.  Joel Saxum: Celsius being the big thing there. Right. For our, for our US listeners, it's 25 degrees is really cold to us, but very nice to you. Yeah. Thanks. It's pretty cold.  Allen Hall: Yeah. I think for a lot of listeners, they don't realize how short the blade repair season is in Canada. How many days do you really have it? It depends where you are, right? There's some  Alex Fournier: site that, there's still some snow in May. Um, but, uh, if, if, if we're in a. Nice area. It can be from, uh, April, may to September, October, November. You're really pushing it. I think if, if you want to do, uh, blade work in November and que back, you need to have like a 360 platform with the heater and uh, and closed platform. Which we don't have yet,  Joel Saxum: but yet, [00:02:00] yet is an interesting concept there. You say we don't have that platform yet, but that kind of points to the eTech. Uh, I mean, of course. Congratulations. A new, new role over there I think, clue us in on that. What is the new role?  Alex Fournier: So it's general manager, so right now I'm taking care of the whole company, which is either composite or maintenance. Um, I'm doing boat. Um, so if you have any requests either on composite or maintenance and Quebec or candidate, just let me know. But yeah, when I first started I was, uh, director of composite operation and then, uh. Climbing at the ladder to turn on Azure. Now  Joel Saxum: what it makes sense is eTech is, uh, expanding, you know, strategically expanding services. Right? So you guys, uh, of course when we were talking with you and you joined the team there, you had a composite. So we, they just, this is your first big blade season. Sounds like it's gone very well. Um, but the eTech is a company does a lot more than that. You off air, you're clueing us in on some of the really cool things you guys are doing. Some, some stuff we've never actually really dealt with or heard too much of and wind, [00:03:00] but, um. Yeah,

OpenAI has officially transitioned to a for-profit corporation, a move approved by Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings. This restructuring allows OpenAI to raise capital more effectively while maintaining oversight from its original non-profit entity. Microsoft now holds a 27% stake in the new structure, valued at over $100 billion, and OpenAI has committed to purchasing $250 billion in Microsoft Azure cloud services. This agreement includes provisions for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which will require verification from an independent expert panel before any declarations are made. Critics have raised concerns about the potential compromise of the non-profit's independence under this new arrangement.Research from cybersecurity firm SPLX indicates that AI agents, such as OpenAI's Atlas, are becoming new security threats due to vulnerabilities that allow malicious actors to manipulate their outputs. A survey revealed that only 17.5% of U.S. business leaders have an AI governance program in place, highlighting a significant gap in responsible AI use. The National Institute of Standards and Technology emphasizes the importance of identity governance in managing AI risks, suggesting that organizations must embed identity controls throughout AI deployment to mitigate potential threats.Additionally, a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is currently being exploited, with around 100,000 instances reported in just one week. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated actors to execute arbitrary code on affected systems, raising concerns among cybersecurity experts, especially since Microsoft has not updated its guidance on the matter. Meanwhile, Microsoft 365 Copilot has introduced a new feature enabling users to build applications and automate workflows using natural language, which could lead to governance challenges as employees create their own automations.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the need for enhanced governance and security measures. The shift of OpenAI to a for-profit model signals a tighter integration with Microsoft, necessitating familiarity with Azure's AI stack. The vulnerabilities associated with AI agents and the WSUS exploit highlight the importance of proactive security measures.

At the Crexendo UGM, Matt Siemens, CEO of NUSO, sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss NUSO's innovative approach to AI, its newly announced partnership with Crexendo, and the company's accelerating global expansion across Europe. As a major event sponsor, NUSO created a branded lounge area at the conference to facilitate deeper engagement and longer conversations with partners. But Siemens' main stage presentation captured the spotlight — highlighting NUSO's AI philosophy and architecture, which centers on creating a digital twin of its network environment to reduce AI hallucinations and improve contextual accuracy. “Our focus isn't on AI as a product, but as an enabler — a force that increases velocity and outcomes,” Siemens explained. “By maintaining a live digital twin of our network within the AI environment, we can reduce misinformation, enhance software development, and deliver more meaningful customer experiences.” Siemens also spoke about the importance of continuous updates to avoid the pitfalls of static AI environments — what he referred to as “hyperreality” — and explored how concepts like vCons act as “micro mirrors” that enrich contextual understanding in customer interactions. In major business news, Siemens announced a global technology partnership with Crexendo, through which NUSO will provide carrier and related services while expanding its use of the NetSapiens platform into new markets. The company's European expansion is also gaining momentum, with new operator authority in 14 countries, including recent launches in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. “We've taken the approach of building regulatory compliance and numbering authority first,” Siemens said. “That foundation gives our partners and customers greater reliability and agility as we expand across Europe.” To learn more about NUSO's global communications and AI innovations, visit www.nuso.cloud.

At ExCeL London last week, ManageEngine, the IT management division of Zoho Corporation, announced a major expansion across the United Kingdom and Ireland. The region is now the company's second-largest market worldwide, accounting for ten per cent of global revenue and growing at twenty per cent year on year. For CEO Rajesh Ganesh, the success in the UK and Ireland is both strategic and symbolic. "These markets have always been early adopters of technology," he says. "They were among the first to invest in large-scale digital infrastructure. Today, the focus is on how to get the best return on those investments, how to keep systems running, how to measure productivity, and how to stay secure." ManageEngine growth planned for the UK and Ireland Security is now central to ManageEngine's business. As more companies move to hybrid or fully digital operations, the attack surface expands. Regulations such as GDPR have also raised the stakes. "Regulation is really about evidence," Ganesh explains. "You must always be ready to show that you follow best practices, who has access to what, what happened, and when. That's what our products do. They make that evidence available in real time." ManageEngine operates in 190 countries and has evolved with the industry it serves. Founded in 1996 by engineers who left Bell Labs and Qualcomm to return to India, the original business built software for telecom manufacturers. After the dotcom collapse in 2001, the company pivoted, deciding to build software that could manage any IT infrastructure, not just those of telcos. That decision gave birth to ManageEngine. "We wanted to build a global product company out of India," Ganesh says. "Why should innovation only come from Silicon Valley?" From ten employees in 1996, ManageEngine has grown to a team of six thousand within Zoho's eighteen thousand-strong organisation. The company's core customers are CIOs and IT leaders responsible for keeping modern enterprises secure, compliant, and operational. "Every business today is a digital business," Ganesh says. "Our role is to help them manage that reality." The firm's growth is driven by its end-to-end model. Rather than offering point solutions, ManageEngine provides a single integrated platform covering service management, cybersecurity, compliance, and automation. "Our customers don't want to manage multiple vendors," Ganesh says. "They want one system of record. That's been our vision from the beginning." ManageEngine competes across several categories, from ServiceNow and Atlassian in IT service management to Microsoft in endpoint control, but Ganesh is careful not to define the company purely by competition. "We've always built rather than acquired," he says. "Our technology, support, and cloud infrastructure are all in-house. We even run our own data centres. It's slower, yes, but it keeps us close to our customers and their challenges." That proximity is both cultural and operational. ManageEngine's technical support sits alongside its engineering teams; they travel together, visit customers, and feed insights directly into product development. "We don't outsource," Ganesh says simply. "We believe in face-to-face interaction. Our customers tell us again and again how much they value that." The UK office is in Milton Keynes, and the company operates data centres in the UK, Amsterdam, and Ireland, an investment that proved essential after Brexit. "When the UK left the EU, certain clients, especially in government and healthcare, required data to be hosted locally," Ganesh explains. "We responded immediately by building the infrastructure here." An Irish office is likely to follow. "It makes sense," he says. "We already have a data centre there and a growing customer base. Ireland will be an important part of our regional expansion." The company's long-term approach is deliberate. ManageEngine prioritises resilience over speed, preferring to build self-sufficient systems with minimal external de...

What if real estate could rebuild lives while building lasting wealth? In this 45-minute episode of Invest2FI, host Craig Curelop welcomes back real estate investor Jim Boad for an in-depth conversation about scaling success through trust, discipline, and purpose. Jim shares how he pivoted during COVID from struggling rentals to sober-living group homes that blend community impact with strong returns.  Operating in a small Washington market near Olympia, he explains his model of five-bedroom, three-bath homes renting for $700 per bed, often partnered with recovery clinics and DOC reentry programs that prepay several months in advance.  Jim also discusses leveraging $100K–$200K grants, launching a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and working with private lenders at two points and ten percent interest to fund and scale 18 new builds. This episode reveals how purpose-driven investing can generate both financial freedom and meaningful community change. PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS: [03:42] Craig tees up the sober living deep dive with Jim's backstory. [04:00] COVID nonpaying rentals force Jim to pivot toward group homes. [5:24] Buys a $500 coaching course overnight and launches within a week. [07:39] Converts rentals into sober living homes and adds extra bedrooms. [09:41] Payment totals $2,700 monthly; collects $7,000 using per-bed rent. [11:03] Residents' stays are prepaid for two to six months by recovery programs. [12:01] Operations manager Shay handles calls, phones, and food support. [15:31] Random drug testing; any failed test leads to immediate removal. [18:00] Explains the drug-free rule to maintain state and grant compliance. [20:47] Research areas by mapping local clinics and case manager networks. [24:03] Expands via referrals from agencies impressed with his housing quality. [27:36] Keeps furnishing simple, durable furniture, storage, and ready rooms only. [28:12] Secures $200,000 in grant funding and forms a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. [30:26] Grants fund operations, staff, utilities, and resident scholarships. [32:26] Now building 18 homes, start two, refinance, then repeat the process. [34:20] Private lenders fund projects at two points and ten percent interest. [34:51] He met his main lender at a bar, proof that valuable connections can happen anywhere. [36:16] Keeps 30–35% equity to build long-term legacy instead of chasing quick profits. [41:37] Advises new investors to start small and build credibility through consistency. [42:26] Success story: one property doubled in value through patience and discipline.  HOST Craig Curelop    

'BradCast' 10/21/2025: Law[lessness] and [Dis]Order: Trump's crime spree continues and expands by Progressive Voices

Trevor Hall welcomes Matt Manson, CEO of Radisson Mining, to discuss corporate updates regarding the O'Brien project in Quebec. Manson details the recently closed, heavily oversubscribed $25 million institutional financing, which was an deal with no warrant or flow-through provisions. This capital infusion will expand their step-out drill program at O'Brien to 140,000 meters, increasing the number of drill rigs to test the high-grade deposit's depth potential down to two kilometers. Finally, the conversation addresses the ongoing consolidation in the Abitibi region and Radisson's focus on using the drilling success to define the deposit's value and prepare for future resource updates
