After dropping out of college and bouncing between jobs, Blake discovered the world of gambling livestreams.

In this interview, Blake shares how he built the operation, how it spiraled out of control, and how he managed to escape prison time through a plea deal. #IllegalGambling #TikTokScam #TrueCrime #GamblingAddiction #LockedInWithIanBick #SocialMediaCrime #NoPrisonTime #UndergroundGambling Connect with Blake Fitzgerald: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@klozer10x_2.0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/klozer10x/ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & The Shocking Call 00:34 Blake's Background and Upbringing 02:56 Childhood, Parents, and Lessons Learned 05:54 Family Dynamics & Early Life Challenges 13:04 College, Early Work, and First Adult Steps 17:15 Launching a Career: Sales, Oil Fields & Construction 20:51 Discovering Gambling Streams & TikTok Live 24:55 Explosive Growth on TikTok 31:36 Gambling Becomes a Business 38:28 The Illegal Gambling Model Starts 41:08 Managing Money, Moderators, and Viewers 43:43 High Stakes, Big Nights, and Addictive Success 47:35 TikTok Fame, Haters & Legal Gray Areas 55:10 The Investigation and Downfall 01:01:38 Facing Charges & Navigating the Legal System 01:09:03 Plea Deals, Consequences, and Community Service 01:13:15 Addiction Continues: Gambling Beyond TikTok 01:17:17 Embracing Recovery: Gamblers Anonymous 01:21:14 Life After Gambling: Fast Cars and Family 01:28:25 Social Media Reflections & Giving Back 01:32:33 Media Coverage, Public Perception, and Reputation 01:35:01 Lessons Learned: The Dangers of Gambling Culture 01:41:12 Moving Forward, Staying Sober, Final Thoughts Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Show Notes: What is Abundance? And is it a Good Thing?OverviewThis newsletter explores the concept of abundance, particularly in the context of technology, energy, and capital. It challenges debates about whether abundance is real or manageable, presenting it instead as an unstoppable force rapidly reshaping business, society, and governance. The content spans trends from explosive AI-driven startup growth and energy breakthroughs to shifts in media, venture capital, and political dynamics.Listeners will find this collection compelling because it connects broad macro forces—technology advances, energy cost collapses, investment flows—with societal and economic changes. It offers a nuanced view that acknowledges friction and obstacles but maintains optimism that abundance is already here, accelerating, and fundamentally altering the rules across multiple domains.Key Trend 1: Explosive Growth and Changing Dynamics in AI-Driven Innovation and FundingThe emergence of AI as a multiplier of human capability is driving unprecedented revenue growth in startups, reshaping the venture capital landscape, and redefining what “scale” means. Late-stage funding surges and monumental investments in AI infrastructure reflect growing confidence in AI's commercial potential.The top 10% of B2B AI startups are achieving astronomic 236% ARR growth, marking a departure from the efficiency-first era to rapid expansion and capturing “escape velocity.”The size of top-1% venture-backed exits is nearly doubling every five years, signaling massive future capital returns at the intersection of cloud, mobile, and AI platforms.Late-stage AI investments dominate funding, including mega rounds like Anthropic's $3.5B Series E, underscoring belief in scalability and profitability.Oracle's $40B commitment to Nvidia chips for OpenAI's new data center exemplifies the scale of capital pouring into AI infrastructure needed to power trillion-parameter models.The explosion of AI integration across tools, like Perplexity Labs generating complex work products or multiple AI agents collaborating on code, highlights multi-layered adoption in workflows.Key Trend 2: Energy Abundance as the Prerequisite for Sustainable Technological and Societal GrowthEnergy is the foundational “subsidy” enabling societal complexity, climate action, and advanced AI. Rapid advances in solar, nuclear, and fusion research herald a future of "energy too cheap to meter," which will be a game changer as demand explodes.Energy breakthroughs have historically powered leaps in human development—from fire to fossil fuels—and solar energy is the latest, with plummeting costs creating a tipping point.Government reform, grid modernization, and deregulation are essential to accelerate adoption and infrastructure buildout.Upcoming nuclear small modular reactors and fusion research (including AI-assisted catalyst discovery) represent critical next steps along the energy innovation trajectory.Meeting urgent energy needs is critical for climate solutions, AI's soaring compute demand, and sustaining democratic institutions and economies.Key Trend 3: Institutional Friction vs. Market-Led Speed and Execution in Technology and GovernmentWhile abundance forces press forward, friction remains, especially rooted in institutional inertia, regulatory complexity, and political coalitions. However, the market champions the agile and fast-executing players who prioritize speed over bureaucratic safety.Biden administration's infrastructure rollout illustrates government slowness: trillions in spending with slow or no visible results.Companies achieving rapid ARR growth routinely bypass “progressive coalition politics” favoring execution and iteration.Elon Musk's brief tenure in government showed the challenges of applying private-sector efficiency models to public institutions, ending with his resignation amid political conflicts.The “Abundance Agenda” calls for governance reform but faces entrenched interest-group resistance, reflecting recurring liberal factional rivalries.Key Trend 4: The Shifting Media and Information Ecosystem—From Screening to Summarizing, and the Challenge to Web ContentAI-powered search is transforming how users access information, moving from link-based discovery to AI-generated summaries that threaten traditional web traffic patterns and publisher revenue models.Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode prioritize summarization over link retrieval, reducing user clicks to websites, shifting how “the web” is monetized and accessed.This shift generates tensions as content creators face reduced traffic even as their editorial authority becomes more valuable to AI training.New protocols like Microsoft's NLWeb aim to make websites more accessible to AI agents, signaling an evolution toward AI-powered conversational interfaces.Publishers' survival depends increasingly on establishing verified fact-based content and new business models compensating their data contribution to AI.Key Trend 5: The Democratization and Accelerated Meme-ification of Venture Capital and CultureThe VC landscape, and culture at large, is increasingly shaped by rapid narrative cycles, social media algorithms, and AI-driven content creation, emphasizing hype and viral content while paradoxically increasing the importance of genuine personal connection and location.Meme coins like Fartcoin, driven by AI-generated hype, show how narrative velocity can create rapid yet often ephemeral market spikes influencing capital flows.Social media and AI have democratized “taste,” with rapid cycles of trend formation driven by platform algorithms favoring engagement over depth.Venture capital branding is evolving to embrace memes and out-of-home advertising to reach broader retail investor audiences, challenging traditional LP communication.Despite hyper-meme culture, location and face-to-face networks remain crucial as a grounding force amid accelerated, digital-first trends.

After trying the Bloom Sparkling Energy drinks before its official launch last year (and getting a better sense of the overall go-to-market strategy), I provided a very rare public statement on a beverage within the pre-launch phase of the commercialization cycle. And for those that might think I'm capping…you can ask AI to analyze thousands of my short- and long-form content pieces over the last decade. Yet, it would only find one other occasion where I declared pre-launch that massive success was guaranteed for an energy drink. But just like GHOST Energy a handful of years earlier…something felt special about Bloom Sparkling Energy, even as most beverage industry pundits questioned the extension strategy by the “greens supplement company.” And within our conversation…Bloom Nutrition Co-Founder (and CEO), Greg LaVecchia, explained just how insanely successful the initial year has been surrounding those Bloom Sparkling Energy drinks. Also, we discuss how…with help from the Nutrabolt (and KDP) strategic partnerships, the brand is building on those breakout wins in the beverage category by launching Bloom Pop, its answer to what fans feel the modern soda category is missing.

In this episode of the E-commerce Marketing Podcast, host Arlen Robinson interviews Daniella Boltzmann, founder of MindfulGoods.co, who shares her expertise in Amazon optimization. Daniella discusses her journey in marketing, the importance of focusing on specific services, and introduces her three-step 'Buy Now' method designed to help brands triple their sales on Amazon. She emphasizes the significance of effective product listings, high-quality imagery, and understanding customer needs. The conversation also covers common pitfalls brands face when optimizing their Amazon listings and highlights real-world success stories from brands that have implemented her strategies. Key Episode Takeaways: Daniella Boltzmann is a leading expert in Amazon optimization. The 'Buy Now' method consists of three key steps: getting found, getting clicked, and converting sales. Brands often struggle with converting traffic into sales despite driving significant traffic. High-quality images are crucial for capturing customer attention on Amazon. AI can be effectively used to create product images, but quality must be maintained. Many brands mistakenly copy their Shopify listings directly to Amazon, which can lead to poor performance. Understanding customer questions is essential for effective product imagery. Successful brands often see significant sales increases after optimizing their listings. It's important to focus on quality over budget when creating product images. Learning to sell on Amazon can be done through simple reselling strategies.

We talk about: • Modern AppSec Meets AI Agents How traditional AppSec falls short when it comes to AI-era components like agents, MCP servers, system prompts, and model artifacts—and why security now depends on mapping, monitoring, and understanding this entire stack. • Threat Discovery, Simulation, and Mitigation How Mend’s AI security suite identifies unknown AI usage across an org, simulates dynamic attacks (like prompt injection via PDFs), and provides developers with precise, in-code guidance to reduce risk without slowing innovation. • Why We’re Rethinking Identity, Risk, and GovernanceWhy securing AI systems isn’t just about new threats—it’s about re-implementing old lessons: identity access, separation of duties, and system modeling. And why every CISO needs to integrate security into the dev workflow instead of relying on blunt-force blocking.
