In this episode, Andy explores what it takes to build "Five-Star Finance" in the food manufacturing industry. From multi-plant operations and volatile commodity pricing to thin margins and acquisition-driven growth, finance teams in food manufacturing face unique complexity. Yet many are still relying on disconnected systems and Excel-heavy processes to close, consolidate, and forecast. One CPM Customer Success Story we share is that of a 100-year-old poultry and meat producer that reduced close time, eliminated manual intercompany processes, and unified consolidation, reconciliations, and planning on a single platform. If you're a CFO, Controller, or FP&A leader in food manufacturing looking to modernize your close, improve margin visibility, and forecast with confidence, this episode delivers practical insight you can apply immediately.

Imagine a 6'2 lefty sniper who can shoot you out of a zone, drop 38 in a revenge game, and still tell you she doesn't need Hollywood — she just needs her people.That's Bella Ragone.Georgia High School Player of the Year. Top 25 in the Class of 2026. Five-star recruit. Notre Dame women's basketball signee. And in this episode of SportsLifeTalk – You Got Next (Savage Season), Bella opens up about her journey from NFL sidelines to Georgia hardwood greatness — and why loyalty and faith shaped her rise.Bella's life wasn't built in one zip code. With her dad coaching in the NFL, moving was normal. She's lived in Louisville, Tennessee, Virginia/D.C., Chicago, Georgia, and even around Los Angeles. But when her dad joined the Rams and relocated to L.A., Bella made a defining decision — she stayed in Georgia. Not for spotlight. For stability. As she said, “I just need my people.” That mindset reveals everything about her foundation.Her basketball story didn't start with hype. She played multiple sports growing up. But in middle school, it clicked. She realized she was good. She loved the grind. She wasn't burning out. That's when the game became serious.Bella calls herself a “three-way player.” Translation: true three-level scorer. She takes pride in her jump shot — deep range, quick release, and a deadly one-dribble pull-up. As a lefty, she naturally creates angles defenders struggle with. Over the past two years, she's extended her range and sharpened her off-the-bounce scoring. When teams tried zone? She smiled and said, “That wasn't a good idea.”Her defining moment came in the region tournament. Third matchup against a team that had already beaten them twice. Home floor. Pressure packed. Bella decided, “This has to be my game.” Final stat line — 38 points while her team scored 50 total. She carried them into the region championship and delivered one of the coldest performances of the season. That wasn't stat padding. That was ownership.Her commitment to Notre Dame women's basketball wasn't based on rankings. It was about fit, faith, academics, and relationships. A Catholic university aligned with her values. A culture built on family. Coaches who invested in her as a person. She's joining a special freshman class — and she knows it.The basketball DNA runs deep. Her mom played Division I at Louisville after moving from Estonia at 15 and learning a new language. Bella wears #5 in honor of her mom's jersey number. Her dad, also a lefty, trained her and sharpened her competitive edge. Add in a Division I quarterback brother, and you get a household built on competition and discipline.When NIL opportunities came up, Bella didn't overthink it. She said Lululemon. Authentic. Clean. Real. That kind of clarity matters in today's NIL era.Off the court, she keeps it grounded — spending time with friends, supporting other sports, traveling, and protecting her energy. Her favorite local food spot? Buffalo's. Order: Kickin' Chicken Wrap. Simple comfort.During SLT Initiation, her Top 5 artists included Drake, SZA, Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, and Kendrick Lamar. Favorite superhero? Black Widow — independent and powerful. Theme song? “Over” by Drake. The biggest lesson basketball taught her? Resilience — pushing through fatigue and pressure when it would be easier to fold.Right now, Bella's focus is healing, staying healthy, and preparing for her freshman season at Notre Dame. Long-term goals? Win a national championship. Earn individual accolades. Bring a title back to South Bend. Her words were clear: “We deserve it.”Bella Ragone didn't choose the spotlight. She chose stability. She didn't chase hype. She built foundation.She's not just next.She's built.

Elias Makos is joined by Meeker Guerrier, Commentator at Noovo and RDS, and Sue Smith is a Montreal journalist and broadcaster. 10 people are dead and 25 others are injured following a mass shooting inside a B.C high school yesterday afternoon. The SPVM released its 2025 results yesterday, and Police Chief Fady Dagher says the data is clear: Montreal is safe. The United States hockey squad will sleep in the Athlete’s village for the entire tournament, embracing the dorm-room lifestyle for two weeks. Team Canada will visit the village for two days - but then go live in a five-star hotel once the games actually begin. Who’s got the better Olympic spirit? In what should have been a celebration of an olympic medal for a Norwegian athlete, turned into a beg for forgiveness live on air.

Guest Five Star gives his Super Bowl picks Super Bowl talk News of the weird

Send us a textA birthday toast turns into a blueprint for a braver year. We celebrate 67 with honesty about grief, chronic illness, and a new diagnosis, and we choose a simple operating system for 2026: stack gold bricks. A brick can be a workout, a hard phone call, a quiet hour with family, or a closed real estate deal. Coins count, too. When days hit hard, we use a code phrase—“movie day”—to protect morale and communicate needs without giving pain more power than it deserves.Faith frames the plan. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us there's a season for everything: building and letting go, speaking and staying quiet, weeping and laughing. That lens steadies the heart through a year of loss, a daughter starting chemo right after giving birth, and the strange rhythm of pain that can greet you first thing in the morning. From that place, we choose action that fits the day. We eat for strength, titrate meds wisely, and set energy boundaries that honor the body while keeping momentum.On the money front, we cut through hype and keep to what works in real estate: respectful outreach, consistent follow-up, steady skills, and a bias toward small daily wins. We talk about purging closets and habits, consigning the excess, and making room for the life that fits now. Then we round it out with the five slices that keep us balanced—financial, spiritual, physical, emotional, family—and a third-quarter mindset that plays to win with high-percentage moves. If you've been waiting for perfect conditions, this is your invitation to move anyway, one coin, one brick at a time.If this message hits home, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

Send us a textStop waiting on the market to bless you with deals. We're pulling back the curtain on the five public-record lead sources that keep producing—foreclosure, divorce, probate, unpaid taxes, and bankruptcy—and showing how to work them step by step. I walk through the real foreclosure timeline, what your county site actually reveals, and why most investors show up months late with stale lists. You'll learn where bankruptcy filings live, how to match them to foreclosure records, and why those last-minute moves signal a seller who needs real help right now.This conversation blends strategy with story. I share how losing a house and a car pushed me to the courthouse, a paper map, and door knocking with a baby on my hip—and how that grit led to the first $22k, then $50k, and a career built on solving people's problems. We talk scripts that lead with options and empathy, from loan mods and forbearance to selling as-is or using creative financing when it makes sense. If you've ever felt paralyzed by headlines—rates, inventory, recession chatter—this is your antidote: consistent deals rooted in life events that never stop.You'll leave with a simple plan: pull fresh filings from the last 45–60 days, prioritize by sale dates, and reach out directly. Door knock if you can. If not, combine letters, calls, and social DMs that promise tangible help and a clean exit if needed. That's how you create triple wins for owners, banks, and your business while stacking steady “gold bricks” of profit. Ready to build a recession-proof pipeline? Subscribe, share this with a fellow investor who needs clarity, and leave a quick review so more people can find it. Then pull your first list tonight and tell me which county you're starting in.

Send us a textSome years don't just challenge you—they level you. After losing my dad and a dear friend, my body crashed, my energy evaporated, and work I love got painfully scarce. The worst part? I couldn't name why. Steroids, sleep hacks, strict routines—nothing touched the deep, whole-body ache or the fog that made simple tasks feel like mountains. So I did the uncomfortable thing: I kept asking questions until I got real answers.What finally clicked was a second diagnosis layered on my rheumatoid arthritis—fibromyalgia. Suddenly the relentless fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and unpredictable pain made sense. With my doctor, I started Cymbalta and doubled down on an anti-inflammatory approach to food, cutting sugar and refined carbs and trying carnivore short-term. Within days, my mood lifted and the pain dialed down just enough to start moving forward. Not cured, but hopeful. Not sprinting, but finally walking without shame.That's where a new motto was born: Stack Gold Bricks In 26. Each brick stands for a pillar—health, family, faith, finances, real estate deals, learning, generosity. Big wins are big bricks. Small habits are coins. Both count. I refuse to live in all-or-nothing mode that burns you out and leaves you with nothing to show. This year I'm leaning into practical education—tight YouTube trainings, focused half-day workshops, and back-to-basics real estate strategies for lead generation, fair offers, creative exits, and disciplined follow-through. The market is noisy, but the fundamentals work when you do.If last year bruised you too, you're not alone. Start with one brick you can place today: book the test, ask for help, prep a low-inflammation meal, or do ten minutes of focused work. We'll build momentum together—patiently, honestly, and on purpose. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review to tell me your first brick for 2026. Let's make this the year the small wins stack into something solid. Support the showThanks again for listening.

Learn how friendship strengthens marriages through every season of life, how God uses marriage to shape our character, and why the strongest relationships are wrapped in both friendship and faith.
