It seems one set of tariffs is declared unconstitutional and then another set get installed in the current day, but what's really happening with tariffs? Sara Albrecht, Chairman of the Liberty Justice Center and founder of Swan Capital, talks about their recent Supreme Court win, how refunds might play out, and what to keep an eye on in the year to come.

Phil and Kenny sit down with Stacey Kravitz, President of UNFI Canada, for one of the most important conversations we've had on the show.

The current state of the online fitness and wellness business landscape in 2026 is constantly changing—there are new shifts every day driven by AI, GLP-1 medications, economic uncertainty, and uncertain social media algorithms. In all the maybe, you have two distinct choices for how you run your business: the data-driven, automated "passive income" model built around low-ticket digital products, ads, and funnel optimization, versus the personal brand model grounded in genuine relationships, consistent value delivery, and audience trust. In Jill's experience, chasing passive income shortcuts often produces hollow, unsustainable businesses. While low-ticket offers and paid traffic have their place, coaches and entrepreneurs need to choose a path, and for most people, building a personal brand with real meaning and connection is not only more fulfilling, but ultimately more durable and lucrative in the long run.   Join the Strategy Lab: https://www.jillfitprograms.com/the-strategy-lab   Catch the replay for Low Ticket Revolution! https://www.jillfitprograms.com/Low-Ticket-Revolution   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/     Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

We all know that a steady diet of junk food will leave us feeling uneasy and sick, and it's no different in business. Today, Jill shares the concept of a 'junk food business,' contrasting it with the idea of building a sustainable brand. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity, integrity, and long-term relationships in business, and warns against quick sales tactics that may compromise values—they'll never get you where you want to go. Hopefully this conversation will serve as a reminder to you to prioritize sustainable practices over fast cash, and reflect on their own business strategies and investments.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

This week on I'm joined by Angela Petro, the founder of Sweet Carrot and catering company Together & Co., and simply someone with a lot of stories, laughs, and insight to share! In this conversation, Angela shares a ton of wisdom, and also a little judgment, mostly for the fact that I've never worked a serving job and haven't watched enough Ted Lasso...(This is fair.)  We get into how she built Sweet Carrot from a food truck, to one physical location to three…and why she eventually brought it back down to one. We talk about the reality of running businesses in the hospitality world, how the pandemic changed everything, and how her first catering gig was…of all things, a funeral! Angela also shares how living in Germany helped her discover her love for hospitality, the differences in how other countries view service work, and how Columbus has its own food culture and challenges. We dig into creative burnout, figuring out if you're more of a visionary or an implementor, and what it's like for our goals to change shape and navigating the change. Angela's now doing some amazing work in leadership development, and we also chat about what's next as she gears up for a Sweet Carrot relaunch. It's a good one, especially if you've ever worked in food service, tried to build something from scratch, or just love a good story!
