Just over a year into Donald Trump's second term, one of the most common requests from readers has been to revisit that conclusion and my prediction that much of the Project 2025 agenda would be struck down through legal challenges or abandoned by Trump. Today, we're doing just that.We'll start with a refresher on Project 2025, then lay out which policy goals from Project 2025 have been implemented, which goals the administration is pursuing but hasn't yet implemented, and which goals it has abandoned or actively undermined. Finally, I'll revisit our coverage of Project 2025 from before the election.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

Most people think you need money to build a business. Blake Mycoskie proves you need creativity, conviction, and resilience. He built TOMS from $3,000 into a $600 million exit and launched multiple bootstrapped ventures, revealing what it really takes to start from nothing. In this raw conversation, Blake shares the frameworks behind businesses started with almost no capital — including a $500 laundry service that made $100K in three days and a $1,500 driver's ed company. He explains why too much funding can hurt startups, how he cold-called Kid Cudi into becoming a founding partner, why industry experience can limit innovation, and his “utility marketing” approach — showing real value instead of selling hype. Blake also opens up about the depression that followed his success, waking at 3 AM with suicidal thoughts, and the healing journey that led to Enough, his mental health movement. He discusses lessons from failure at TOMS, using AI therapy during panic attacks, confronting his core belief of “I'm not enough,” mantra meditation, scheduling joy, walking the Camino, and why bold goals should be held loosely. This is practical entrepreneurship and personal transformation from someone who built millions from pocket change and found purpose beyond profit. Ready to turn your newsletter into your career?

Mastering the SaaS Journey: Building, Scaling, and Exiting with Draven McConvilleIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sits down with Draven McConville, a seasoned tech entrepreneur and angel investor, to discuss the high-stakes world of SaaS development and strategic exits. Draven shares his journey of founding Klipboard, a platform that revolutionized the field service industry by digitizing paper-heavy workflows for tradespeople. This conversation serves as a comprehensive guide for founders and investors alike, offering deep dives into the nuances of raising capital, identifying underserved market niches, and navigating the complex emotional and practical realities of selling a company to a global acquirer.Strategic Growth: From Underserved Niches to Global ExitsThe foundation of a successful SaaS venture often lies in identifying a "quiet" market that technology has left behind. Draven explains that his success with Klipboard was rooted in observing the daily struggles of field service professionals—plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fire safety experts—who were still buried under manual, paper-based systems. By building a tool specifically tailored to these unique workflows rather than chasing crowded, trendy markets, he was able to achieve strong product-market fit. This strategy highlights a critical lesson for modern entrepreneurs: true innovation often happens where digital transformation is lagging most, provided the founder is willing to spend time in the trenches with their target users to simplify their daily routines.Deciding how to fund that growth is a pivot point that defines a founder's trajectory. While bootstrapping offers total control and is ideal for service-based models, Draven notes that capital-intensive SaaS products often require institutional investment to build a sufficient runway for profitability. However, he cautions that raising capital is a "marriage" that demands extreme due diligence. Founders must interview potential investors as rigorously as they are being interviewed, seeking partners who offer industry connections and strategic guidance rather than just a check. Accepting external funding essentially sets the business on a predetermined path toward an eventual exit, making alignment on vision and values the most important factor in the partnership.When the time for that exit finally arrives, the decision to sell should be driven by more than just the highest valuation. Draven reflects on his own acquisition by Carriage Commercial Systems, noting that he prioritized a strategic fit where Klipboard would become a flagship product rather than just a small line item. An exit is a deeply emotional transition, and ensuring that the acquirer values the existing team and product integrity is vital for a founder's legacy. Post-acquisition, the role of the founder often shifts toward scaling the brand within a larger global infrastructure, proving that the end of one entrepreneurial chapter is frequently the beginning of an even larger leadership challenge.About Draven McConvilleDraven McConville is a prominent tech entrepreneur, angel investor, and the founder of Klipboard. With a background in both service-based businesses and high-growth SaaS, he has spent his career driving digital transformation in traditional industries. Draven is an active member of the global startup ecosystem, dedicated to mentoring early-stage founders and investing in the next generation of software innovation.About Draven McConville (Personal Brand & Klipboard)Draven McConville's professional focus centers on streamlining operations for field service businesses through his platform, Klipboard.

In today's hyper-complex, information-saturated world, the impulse is often to do more. More tasks, more meetings, more data consumption. But what if the path to true success lies in doing less while achieving more? We sat down with Rich Horwath, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author and the leading authority on strategic thinking, to uncover the crucial insights that separate successful leaders from those stuck on the activity treadmill. Horwath, Founder of the Strategic Thinking Institute and author of Strategic: The Skill to Set Direction, Create Advantage, and Achieve Executive Excellence, argues that relying on AI to think for us is a critical mistake. Instead, leaders must intentionally carve out time to gain the "fuel insights"—learnings that lead to new value.In this must-read post, learn how to: Stop reacting and start acting on your own agenda.Implement simple, daily "Reset Practices" to capture one valuable insight a day.Use strategic reflection to clarify success and double down on what's working.Leverage your time, talent, and attention for maximum strategic advantage.Discover why doing less leads to more strategic achievement and how you can develop the mindset required to thrive in a complex world.Love the show?

Some people find their calling in the most unexpected places. And for Brenda Sullivan, that calling happened… in the cemetery. In this two-part conversation, I'm joined by the fascinating, funny, wildly knowledgeable founder of The Gravestone Girls — cemetery artists and historians who are helping people all over the country reconnect with history, symbolism, mortality, and the stories literally carved into stone. I first discovered Brenda's work a couple of years ago when my daughter and I attended one of her talks at a library here in New Hampshire. I honestly didn't know what to expect — I assumed it might be spooky or "oddity-adjacent." But within minutes of listening to her, my entire world expanded. What Brenda does is deeply fact-based, richly historical, and surprisingly emotional. She teaches us that cemeteries are not just places of death — they are places of culture, meaning, artistry, community, and connection. In Part One (Episode 69) Brenda shares her incredible story of leaving behind a high-powered corporate career — what she calls a "soul-sucking day job" — to fully step into the work she truly loved. She talks about: Being a "corporate dropout" and finally changing her seat How a hobby turned into a thriving business and national following Why the cemetery world is much bigger and more mainstream than people assume The surprising hunger people have to be "invited in" to these spaces How gravestones tell us not only who died — but how people lived We also explore the powerful idea that the more specific you get about what you love, the bigger your world becomes. In Part Two (Episode 70) Our conversation deepens into the history and symbolism of early New England burial grounds. Brenda walks us through: The earliest burial practices in the 1600s Why colonial gravestones were meant as messages to the living Winged skulls, hourglasses, soul symbols, and the "scared straight" visual language of death How modern medicine has changed our relationship with mortality Why Victorians picnicked in cemeteries — and what we've lost in our disconnection from death This is one of those conversations that makes you look at something familiar — a graveyard, a headstone, a symbol you've passed a hundred times — and suddenly see an entire world underneath it. Brenda is passionate, hilarious, deeply thoughtful, and proof that following what fascinates you can open doors you never imagined. This episode is split into two parts at around the 42-minute mark — so make sure to listen to both. I cannot wait for you to step into this world with us.   Find Brenda and her work by clicking here.

Reese Jones is living every San Fransico tech guy's wet dream. Create a company, sell it to Motorola for $205 millions dollars, and meet a hot, blonde girlfriend who doesn't hold back in the bedroom. A lifestyle some would be jealous of even after Reese gets kidnapped. Three men jump out, blindfold him, force him into a car at gunpoint. Next thing he knows, Reese is being led through seven different rooms, representing the seven deadly sins. One is lust. Another is gluttony. Then, envy. Reese is bound to a chair while his girlfriend has intercourse with what is described as ‘a buffet of people.' After all seven rooms, all seven sins, Reese is reborn. Which just means he's now cloaked in white, standing on a rooftop deck while his blonde girlfriend waits for him in the distance: “Happy Birthday.” That's what you get as a present when you're worth $200 million dollars and your girlfriend is the founder of One Taste, a company that helps women meditate and reach an orgasm. Every tech guy's wet dream right? That's until Reese gets wrapped up in one of the strangest, potential trafficking cases, and his girlfriend, Nicole Daedone, wellness company CEO ends up in the same prison as none other than Ghislaine Maxwell.   Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Election integrity is the "kill switch" of a Republic. If the process is compromised, the system fails. In this America's Founding Series episode, we look at the forgotten story of William Richardson Davie and why his 1787 warnings about foreign influence and factional corruption are the exact reasons we need the SAVE Act today. Explore how Davie's experiences as a Revolutionary War cavalry officer shaped his defense of election security, clean voter rolls, and the constitutional authority behind the Elections Clause. His warnings about factional corruption, foreign influence, and manipulated election rules echo today's debates over voter ID, citizenship verification, and the SAVE Act. What You'll Learn Why the Founders feared corrupted elections more than foreign armies How William Davie explained the Elections Clause as a safeguard against factional abuse Why clean voter rolls and citizenship verification protect public trust How voter ID fits into the Founders' vision of election integrity Why modern debates over the SAVE Act reflect unresolved Founding era concerns This episode connects America's founding warnings to today's election integrity debates and explains why a constitutional republic cannot endure without a secure and trusted electoral process.

In recent weeks, the United States has built up its military presence in the Middle East while conducting negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program.

What if the biggest thing holding you back from your next breakthrough isn't a lack of strategy… but a lack of attention? In this powerful and deeply moving episode of DREAM THINK DO, Mitch sits down with Mae Yoshikawa - writer, yogi, teacher, TEDx speaker, and founder of Kizuki Journaling - for a conversation that challenges how we think about awareness, action, and big dreams. Mae shares how the Japanese concept of kizuki - those quiet "aha" moments of realization - can become the foundation for meaningful change in leadership, business, and life. Drawing from her personal journey through profound grief, cultural expectations, and identity shifts, Mae reveals why awareness must come before action - and why skipping that step often leads to burnout, fear, or staying small. If you're an entrepreneur or leader who feels the tension between playing it safe and stepping into something bigger… this episode is for you.

Anne Cocquyt is a Silicon Valley operator, educator, and bestselling startup author who helps founders turn ideas into real businesses—fast. She's the Founder & CEO of The Guild and The Guild Studio, an award-winning instructor at UC Berkeley, and a trusted advisor to accelerators around the world. In this episode, Anne breaks down how “vibe coding” and AI-powered tools are radically changing entrepreneurship—making it possible for anyone (even non-technical founders) to build MVPs, validate ideas, and reach market in days instead of months. On this episode we talk about: What “vibe coding” is and how non-technical founders can build MVPs in minutes Why traditional startup development (and million-dollar dev budgets) are becoming obsolete How AI is shrinking feedback loops and accelerating product-market fit The skills founders actually need in an AI-first world Practical ways to test ideas, validate demand, and market early-stage products Top 3 Takeaways You no longer need a big dev team or massive funding to launch—AI tools let founders build and iterate MVPs in days, not years. The real differentiator isn't code anymore—it's critical thinking, understanding users, and building something people actually want. Entrepreneurs who succeed will be “umbrella-skilled generalists,” able to build, test, market, and adapt quickly as technology evolves. Notable Quotes “Code is no longer a moat—the little dragon is the vibe coder.” “It's not a question anymore if you can build it. It's a question if you should build it.” “Unless you can wear multiple hats, it's going to be very hard to defend just one skill.” Connect with Anne Cocquyt: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annecocquyt Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/annecocquyt Other: Website: https://annecocquyt.com The Guild Studio: Letsguild.com/studio  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency. Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform. Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

After more than two decades in business, Kim Oser realized that working harder was not the answer. The missing piece was structure.In this episode of Dear FoundHer from the Forum, Kim, founder of Game Plan Organizing, shares the shift that changed everything. After years of strong results, she realized the real barrier was not the quality of her work but how clearly she could articulate it. Once she stopped winging her own growth and built a clear plan, her business momentum followed.Kim opens up about moving from inconsistent marketing to confident storytelling, and how clarity in her message led to stronger referrals and a calendar that finally reflected the value of her work. She also talks about rebranding, not as a fix, but as an evolution. Game Plan Organizing gave her the language to lead more strategically and the confidence to say no to work that no longer aligned.As demand grew, so did questions about capacity and sustainability. Those questions ultimately led to Clear Game Plan, an online program designed to help people get organized without shame or overwhelm. Throughout the episode, one theme remains constant. Growth became possible and sustainable because it was supported by community, accountability, and shared perspective.This conversation is for anyone who knows their work is solid but feels stuck explaining it, scaling it, or sustaining it without burning out.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Women Founders and the Power of Community01:55 What Game Plan Organizing Is and Why Planning Comes First02:52 When Experience Is Not the Problem but Marketing Clarity Is05:36 How Clear Storytelling Led to Referrals and a Full Calendar07:32 Rebranding a Service Business for Strategic Growth11:17 Using Events and Partnerships to Build Trust and Visibility14:09 Scaling Beyond Personal Capacity with an Online Program17:26 Why Community Accelerated Business GrowthConnect with Kim Oser:Follow Kim on Instagram Follow the Game Plan Organizing on Facebook Connect with Game Plan Organizing on LinkedInVisit the Game Plan Organizing websiteSubscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

What happens when a small, tight-knit team suddenly starts to grow fast? This week on Truth, Lies & Work, we're joined by Steve Kemish to talk about the most uncomfortable phase of company growth. The moment when your business moves from a handful of people to a real organisation. Steve calls it the puberty of a company and if you have ever scaled a team, you will know exactly what he means. Steve has grown a marketing agency from a small team into a business approaching 50 people. In this conversation, he shares what leaders rarely talk about when growth accelerates. The identity crisis, the culture wobble, the communication breakdowns and the leadership shifts that suddenly become unavoidable. This episode is packed with practical advice for founders, leaders and managers navigating rapid growth. Key Takeaways Why growth changes everythingMany founders assume growth is purely positive. In reality, scaling introduces new complexity overnight. Communication becomes harder. Informal processes stop working. Leaders who once knew everything now have to learn to let go. The “puberty phase” of organisationsSteve explains why the jump from around 13 to 20 employees is a major turning point. This is when businesses must move from instinct and intuition to structure and systems. Without that shift, chaos quickly follows. The leadership identity shiftThe skills that help you start a business are not the same skills needed to scale one. Founders must evolve from doers into leaders, from decision-makers into decision-enablers. Culture under pressureGrowth puts pressure on culture. New hires bring fresh perspectives, expectations and habits. Leaders must become intentional about culture rather than relying on “how things have always been.” Communication becomes the biggest challengeAs teams grow, assumptions and informal conversations stop working. Leaders must learn to communicate clearly, consistently and at scale. Why this episode matters If you are hiring quickly, planning to scale or feeling the growing pains of expansion, this conversation offers a roadmap for navigating one of the most challenging phases of leadership.

In this episode, I sit down with Juliette Blake, Founder of Moxies, for a powerful and deeply relevant conversation about kids, technology, and what it truly means to build with intention.  Juliette walks us through the growing mental and emotional toll today's attention-driven platforms are having on kids—especially girls—and why parents are desperate for better solutions. With Moxies, she's building a gamified social platform for girls ages 8–12 that prioritizes safety, wellbeing, and healthy digital habits over engagement metrics. This isn't about limiting technology—it's about creating technology that actually serves our children. Key Moments from the Episode:   * Juliette shares how a simple introduction led her to connect with someone she had admired for years—reinforcing the power of community and open doors. * We unpack the dangers of the attention economy and why current social platforms were never designed with children's wellbeing in mind. * Juliette explains how Moxies was built "safe by design," from co-registration with parents to moderated group chats and limited access through real-life group codes. * She shares compelling early research showing that 80% of users experienced increased wellbeing outcomes, including improvements in mood, confidence, and self-regulation. * We discuss why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting in the digital age—and why what kids are doing online matters more than simply the device itself.   Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to this important and hopeful conversation. If you're a parent—or simply someone who cares about the next generation—this episode will challenge you to think differently about technology and remind you that digital spaces can be built with care, intention, and wellbeing at their core.

What if the difference between stalled growth and market leadership is one bold email, one honest reframe, or one great hire you think you can't afford? We sit down with Richard Conway, Founder and Managing Director of Pure SEO, to unpack how an introvert with $200 built one of New Zealand's most recognized digital marketing groups by betting on systems, A-players, and asymmetric opportunities.We trace the path from bartering for a logo to landing enterprise leads by upgrading brand signals online, then dig into the inflection point where ten people exposed the limits of hustle. Richard explains how bringing in an operations specialist, building internal software, and opening a Manila office cut errors, scaled delivery, and freed him to sell and lead. He shares the mentors and investors who compressed his learning curve, plus the gut-check process he uses to make fast, reversible decisions without burning out on analysis.The conversation gets real about personal adversity—miscarriages, a cancer diagnosis, and a key resignation in the same week—and how trust and responsibility pulled him out of bed when comfort would not. We explore why focusing on strengths beats fixing weaknesses, how to avoid punishing top performers, and why paying for A-players ultimately lowers cost. Then we map the playbook for bold, unconventional moves: cold-calling Penguin Random House before a book existed, turning a week on Richard Branson's Necker Island into national press and six clients, and inviting industry leaders into his work with a generous ask.Along the way, you'll hear practical habits that keep a fast mind clear—Muay Thai, weekly thinking time, and broad reading—and simple ways to raise your kids' EQ by bringing them into the room.

In the wake of the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, countless individuals around the world searched for ways to respond. For Marlene Kolangi, a New York-based fashion designer and entrepreneur, the answer was clear: dedicate her life to helping the children left behind. Kolangi, founder of the successful bridal and modest fashion brand Kaituz in Queens, is widely known in the modest fashion and wig communities for her custom designs that empower women to feel beautiful and confident. But after October 7, her professional focus took a dramatic turn. Deeply shaken by the terrorist attacks and the devastating toll on Israeli families, Kolangi founded Israel Orphans of 10/7, an organization devoted exclusively to supporting children who lost one or both parents in the massacre and subsequent war. Appearing on Episode 47 of the Alan Skorski Reports podcast, Kolangi shared how the tragedy transformed her life and mission. “I couldn't just sit back,” she explained. “These children lost everything in a single day. They need more than sympathy — they need stability, support, and a future.” Her organization provides both immediate and long-term assistance, including: Emergency financial aid for basic needs Long-term savings accounts for each orphan Funding for life milestones such as bar and bat mitzvahs, education, and weddings Emotional care services, including play therapy and personalized support Kolangi emphasized that her work goes beyond writing checks. She personally travels to Israel, meeting families face-to-face, listening to their stories, and delivering assistance directly — whether through funds, gift cards, clothing, or ongoing personal relationships. “The most important thing is dignity,” she said. “These children should not feel forgotten. They should feel embraced by the entire Jewish people.” A single mother herself, Kolangi has been profiled in several Jewish media outlets, including Arutz Sheva, The Jewish Link, and VINnews, where she has been described as a “superhero” for transforming her business platform into a vehicle for communal healing. She also speaks at Jewish inspirational gatherings and communal events, including Project Inspire, where she encourages others to turn pain into purpose. According to Kolangi, the mission is long-term. While global attention may shift, the needs of October 7's youngest victims remain. “This is not a six-month project,” she noted. “These children will grow up with this loss. We are committed to walking with them for years — through school, through milestones, through life.” Supporters can learn more or contribute to Israel Orphans of 10/7 through its fundraising platform, often linked via CauseMatch under the Healing Heroes campaign. As the Jewish world continues to grapple with the aftermath of October 7, Kolangi's work stands as a powerful example of grassroots leadership — channeling heartbreak into hope, and tragedy into tangible action for Israel's most vulnerable. -VIN News Donations can be made through: https://causematch.com/healingheroes Contact the Organization: info@israelorphansof10seven.org Subscribe to Alan Skorski Reports: www.youtube.com/@AlanSkorskiReports Alan Skorski Reports 12FEB2026 - PODCAST
