“We’re now starting to see more people be able to use their voices in the [gaming] space. And the space as a whole is changing as people see that the stories of marginalized people are stories that everyone can relate to regardless if whether or not they have that specific marginalization.” -- Josh Boykin Today Principal Mary Poppins and I interview Josh Boykin.

We discuss our experiences with the Amazon Associates affiliate marketing program as residents of Illinois. Back in 2010, Illinois lawmakers decided that they wanted a piece of the affiliate pie, but all they ended up doing was to destroy almost every business in our area supported by the program. Companies like Fatwallet moved to Wisconsin to save their business. Two years later the Illinois supreme court removed the related laws, which allowed websites that offer similar programs to begin offering it again. Scott recently re-signed up to be an affiliate, which has started well.

Did Fatwallet ever stand a chance after being sold to Ebates? Did they have a chance if they had not been sold? It's all debatable. After Fatwallet Cash Back ended in 2016, did you join the "ebaters" club? We talk all about the shuttering of this community based web 1.0 startup! It's a loss for us because it's one of few local Internet based startups to the Rockford Illinois metro area. Or at least it was until Illinois decided to institute affiliate tax laws that would have ended the company right then and there. Join us for the discussion! This is our first podcast with a companion videocast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4la9NkT1Z8 It has a lot less editing, so if you enjoy something a bit edgier, this will be your thing! The phat wallet community site mentioned: https://phatwalletforums.com/ For the record, Fatwallet cash back ended on May 10th 2016.
Entrepreneur Tim Storm sold his business, Fat Wallet, in September 2011, after more than a decade of pouring his heart and soul into the online consumer savings site. The sale put Tim on a solid financial footing for the rest of his life. Tim's has had time to reflect on his Fat Wallet days, and on this week's Monday Morning Radio, Tim shares some of the most valuable decisions he made and some of the wisest lessons he learned. He also drops some enticing hints about what's next on his business agenda. If you dream about cashing out your business one day and living the good life, then Tim's story will provide plenty of encouragement. Tim is interviewed by Wizard Academy faculty member Dean Rotbart, who along with wealth management expert David Biondo co-hosts the weekly Business Unconventional radio news magazine broadcast on 710 KNUS AM in Denver.

A wise man sees both sides of a matter. The fool sees only one. The origin of the word “wizard” is wise-ard. It means wise man. Nothing more. The wise-ards of the Christmas Story followed a star, had an adventure, made a discovery and leaped onto the pages of history. What did they talk about along the way? Who did the cooking? What pressing issues did they leave unattended back home? What did they do with the rest of their lives? Where, when, and how did each of them die? We know only that they followed a star everyone else was content to ignore; that they were nonconformists with strange beliefs who had the courage of their convictions. They took action. They left home and found the thing they sought. How about you? Will you run with the big dogs or sit on the porch and bark at the postman? Talk is cheap, the buzzing of flies. I didn't say that to hurt your feelings. I said it because I love you. What are you trying to accomplish? How will you measure progress-to-goal? Do you know what needs to happen next? Which star do you follow? An encounter with the wise man in the woods is part of every hero's journey. Athena was the wise man in the woods for Odysseus. When Obi-Wan was gone, Luke went to Dagobah and Yoda became his wise man. Mr. Miyagi was wise-ard for the Karate Kid. Morpheus for Neo. Galadriel for Frodo. When you're in the darkness of the forest – the belly of the whale – look around for the wise-ard who will help you complete your journey. The wise man in the woods exists only to assist the hero on his or her adventure. 21st century wise-men-in-the-woods become faculty at Wizard Academy. Putting you together with them is why we built this place. Mark Huffman from Procter & Gamble. Dave McInnis from PR Web. Tim Storm from FatWallet.com Dean Rotbart from the Wall Street Journal. Greg Farrell from Bloomberg News. Jeffrey and Bryan Eisenberg, Dr. Lori Barr, David Freeman, Michele Miller, Kyle Cease, Ze Frank, Jean Backus, Jeff Sexton, Rich Christiansen, Mark Fox, Dr. Richard D. Grant, Ken Brand, Dennis Collins and the unforgettable Beate Chelette. Wizard Academy is America's small business institute, a training facility and think-tank for open-minded and courageous business people from around the world. The star you follow is entirely up to you. We simply prepare you for your journey, tell you what to expect on the road ahead, and celebrate your success when you find what you seek. Two or three days at the academy is an informative experience for some, transformative for others. I've rambled enough for one day. I thank you for your kind attention. As I bow at the waist and back slowly off the page, I pass along these carefully crafted words from heroes who carved their names deeply in the tree of life. “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a Ride!'” – Hunter S. Thompson “If your life's work can be accomplished in your lifetime, you're not thinking big enough.” – Wes Jackson Never forget that failure is temporary, a moment quickly forgotten. 2013 awaits you. Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead. Roy H. Williams
