In this episode of the I Fired My Boss podcast, Dan Claps shares a surprising perspective: if he could go back in time, he wouldn't start a business from scratch again. Reflecting on his early days building a company in college, Dan walks through the challenges of figuring everything out alone: what to work on, how to grow, and where to focus. He explains why, in hindsight, partnering with an established franchise would have saved him years of trial and error by eliminating the guesswork while still requiring the hard work. For anyone considering business ownership, Dan makes a compelling case for why buying into a franchise offers a smarter, faster, and more supported path to success.Dan also dives into the mindset shift of viewing a franchise as a business partner, one that brings systems, brand equity, marketing support, and a proven playbook to the table. He breaks down how franchising works beyond just fast food, highlighting the wide range of industries and opportunities available today. If you're thinking about starting a business or wondering whether to build or buy, this honest, experience-driven episode is packed with clarity and direction that could save you years and thousands of dollars.

Kelsi and Trey discuss Avatar: Fire and Ash — a visually stunning, emotionally manipulative, and politically confused entry in James Cameron's blockbuster franchise. They break down why the film's spectacle still works, how its treatment of colonialism and “good settler” fantasy becomes increasingly muddled, and why the story isn't actually about the Fire and Ash people at all. Along the way, they unpack the fandom, the franchise's strange cultural footprint, and where Avatar might be headed next.

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett dive into a deeper conversation about the Calgary Flames prospect pool and whether any of these kids are actually difference-makers. Pinder thinks the organization has a handful of solid “B” prospects, while Rhett pushes back — wondering what that really means if none of them project as true No. 1 guys. Do the Flames have future stars coming… or just some nice players?

The countdown to kickoff is on, and the Packers’ path to victory starts in the trenches. In this episode of The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper breaks down one of the biggest keys to Saturday night’s playoff showdown between the Packers and Bears: stopping Chicago’s dangerous rushing attack. From red zone efficiency to early-down run defense, Dan explains why Green Bay can’t afford to settle for field goals—or allow Chicago to control the game on the ground. Dan dives deep into: Why touchdowns (not field goals) are critical to flipping the game script The Bears’ elite rushing offense and dominant offensive line How Jeff Hafley and the Packers defense must adjust after past run-defense failures The importance of winning early downs and forcing third-and-long situations How complementary football could be Green Bay’s best defensive weapon Plus, Dan continues his countdown of the most memorable Packers–Bears games, including a personal reflection on the iconic 10–3 win that launched the Packers’ Super Bowl XLV run. The episode wraps with a candid discussion sparked by Adam Schefter’s comments on Matt LaFleur’s contract status—raising bigger questions about whether Green Bay has historically been too conservative when it comes to paying coaches and assistants.

In this episode of The Corner of Story and Game, returning guest Ashley Poprik joins us for a candid, craft-focused conversation about how fanfiction, forums, and community storytelling can become real training grounds for professional narrative work.We talk about how writing inside existing worlds teaches voice, structure, collaboration, and feedback loops, and how those skills translate directly into building story for games.Quick note for context: this conversation was recorded in early December and sat on the shelf a bit due to technical issues. Since we recorded, Destiny 2's latest expansion has released, and Ashley has shared that she was selected for Forbes 30 Under 30, plus she will be giving a GDC talk this year.

Before titles, business plans, or franchising models, there is usually a moment of quiet reckoning—the point where something no longer feels sustainable, yet walking away feels impossible.   For many parents navigating the world of autism services, that reckoning comes in the form of endless waitlists, unanswered calls, and the aching realization that the system was never designed with families in mind. For Nichole Daher, that moment became a turning point. What began as a mother's fight for her child's care evolved into a deeper negotiation with herself: Do I accept burnout and barriers as the price of survival—or do I build something better?   In this episode, Cindy Watson sits down with Nichole Daher for a powerful conversation on "Negotiating Purpose and Profit: From an Autism Mom to Franchise Founder." Nichole is the franchise founder purpose-driven professionals turn to when they're ready to stop grinding and start building something that truly matters. An autism mom with a background in healthcare, Nichole's journey began not in a boardroom, but in the heartbreak of endless waitlists and systemic barriers to care. Faced with the reality that families were being asked to wait far too long for critical support, she made a bold decision: if the system wasn't working, she would help create a better one.   This is a story about courage, conscious entrepreneurship, and redefining success on your own terms.   This episode dives into:   What does that mindset represents, especially for women who may struggle with feeling "qualified enough"? What entrepreneurs missed about building resilience. How to succeed in franchising without a core? Why people are afraid to start their own business? The misconceptions about opening a medical business especially without a medical degree. How to negotiate with more courage? And many more!   Learn more about Nichole:   Website: https://sosfranchising.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sos-franchising/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SOSAutismFranchise YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@sosfranchising Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/successonthespectrum/   Checkout Nichole's book: Charting New Waters: The Story Behind Success on The Spectrum If you're looking to up-level your negotiation skills, I have everything from online to group to my signature one-on-one mastermind & VIP experiences available to help you better leverage your innate power to get more of what you want and deserve in life.

Ryan is back in the fold as we recap a frustrating — yet competitive — loss that ties a franchise record: 12 straight defeats. The Pacers played solid basketball for long stretches against the Orlando Magic, but one disastrous stretch proved too much to overcome. A 17–0 run in the second quarter, capped by Orlando pouring in 41 points on 72% shooting, swung the game and forced Indiana to play uphill the rest of the way. Despite that, the Pacers showed real fight. Indiana still held a lead at the 7:29 mark of the fourth quarter, but execution down the stretch once again came up short — wasting big nights from Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith. It's now 12 losses in a row, and the spotlight turns to Tuesday night at home, where the Pacers face the Cleveland Cavaliers with a chance — for better or worse — to break the franchise record.

Amy Simmons is the founder of Amy's Ice Creams—a beloved Austin institution with 19 locations built over 41 years—not through franchising or rapid expansion, but through deep community roots, creative culture, and an unshakeable commitment to people first.  In this conversation, Amy shares how she grew the company without franchising, avoided national rollout, and even allowed each store to operate with its own personality. We get into the role theatrical customer service plays in the brand, how open-book management teaches financial literacy and strengthens decision-making, and why staying regional became a strategic advantage. We also talk about real estate, vertical integration, and how hyper-local partnerships helped turn Amy's into a fixture of Austin rather than just another ice cream shop.  If you're interested in the kind of business that grows deeper instead of wider, Amy's story offers a very different—and very successful—approach to scale.   Key Takeaways 00:00 Intro 01:10 What Makes Amy's Ice Cream Different 02:54 Small Community Gifts That Drive Big Returns 04:01 Why 350 Rotating Flavors Actually Work 08:39 Prioritizing Customer Feedback Over Sales Data 11:32 The Secret Behind Amy's #1 Top-Selling Flavor 13:52 Managing Supply Chain Shortages Without Losing Quality 15:14 The One Flavor Austin Refused to Let Her Remove 16:05 Hiring With Creativity: The Paper Bag Application 19:14 How Amy Identifies the Right People for Her Culture 21:15 The Experience Matters More Than the Ice Cream 21:47 How Showmanship Became an Amy's Trademark 24:44 The System Behind Amy's Creative Culture 27:55 The Power of Open Financials in a Small Business 33:53 The ROI of Teaching Money Skills to Employees 36:27 Why Amy Refused to Franchise or Expand Globally 46:35 Growing Deeper, Not Wider: Amy's Approach to Expansion 52:59 How Your Business Can Increase Real Estate Value 57:22 The Moat That Protects Amy's From National Chains 58:43 Advice for Entrepreneurs Facing Imposter Syndrome 1:00:00 Amy's Take on Austin's Growing Pains     Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gU5eigqFtns      Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook
