The 94 WIP Morning Show talks about AJ Brown not getting traded at the trade deadline and where his situation stands for the remainder of the season. Jason Avant says that wide receivers in general always want the ball, because without impressive stats, they will not get paid as much as they want. Wide receivers want to win, but also want production too. Also, listen to hear what this goalie did with Alex Ovechkin's 900th goal puck.
R. Kenner French in partnership with Xcel University and Jeff Lenning, explains that U.S. federal and many state governments offer Research & Development (R&D) tax credits—even for work involving artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT, Claude, or custom models. Vast Solutions Group has worked with AI since 2010/2018 and routinely helps small business owners reduce tax liabilities through these credits, noting that his own AI and quantum-computing research time has been effectively “paid for” via credits.He defines R&D simply: research is investigating how to create something new; development is actually building it. To qualify, activities generally must meet four criteria: aim to make something new or substantially improved; be grounded in science/technology/engineering/math; involve a process of experimentation or trial-and-error; and address technical uncertainty or risk. These rules can apply to many Excel University–style projects and AI initiatives, and some states offer refundable benefits even without state income tax.Kenner gives practical examples: building a new marketing or analysis system, creating a property/project management tool, and automating workflows. He shares Vast's own use cases—AI-driven “causations” (workflows), an AI-enabled phone system, a Tax Projection Plus system that forecasts liabilities and suggests legal mitigations, new mobile apps, a client community, and AI-powered customer service/content—much of which earned R&D credits. Claims can often reach back up to three years.The benefits extend beyond refunds: AI plus R&D credits can confer faster decision-making, competitiveness, time savings, professionalism, and better finances. In a simple illustration, qualifying R&D spending can produce larger savings than a standard deduction and may generate carryforwards. The practical process is: document R&D activities, identify eligible expenses, optimize going forward, and repeat annually. He expects R&D incentives to remain, with bipartisan support and periodic updates.Kenner closes with a call to action: ask a tax professional whether you've been missing out on credits and consider Vast's resources. He offers a free book to Xcel University participants via email, reiterates that the filing is paperwork-heavy but typically worth it, and emphasizes a broader mission—supporting U.S. competitiveness and human progress by rewarding innovation that many attendees are already doing.Takeaways• The government provides funding for innovative projects through R&D tax credits.• Many businesses are unaware of the potential benefits of R&D tax credits.• Qualifying for R&D tax credits requires demonstrating innovation and improvement.• Trial and error in development can still qualify for R&D tax credits.• Investing in R&D can lead to significant financial savings for businesses.• Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in modern business innovation.• R&D tax credits can be claimed retroactively for up to three years.• The financial benefits of R&D tax credits often outweigh standard deductions.• The R&D tax credit is a permanent fixture in the tax code, encouraging ongoing innovation.• Utilizing R&D tax credits can enhance a business's competitive edge in the market.Sound Bites• You could be getting paid by the government.• Are you doing something new or better?• The federal government has no cap on it.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Hi everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Cookbook Love Podcast. Last week, we talked about the traditional publishing team and the real benefits of working with a publisher — how editors, designers, and marketers help bring a cookbook to life. This week, I'm sharing Part 1 of my three-part Publish Your Cookbook Masterclass, called Navigating the Publishing Industry. In this first session, we're tackling one of the biggest challenges cookbook writers face — figuring out how to navigate the publishing world. If you've ever thought, "I don't know where to start." "I'm afraid of choosing the wrong path." "Publishing feels so complicated," Then this session is for you. You'll learn about the three main types of publishing — independent, hybrid, and traditional — and how to decide which path aligns with your goals. It's the clarity so many professionals have been missing — a way to see exactly where you fit in the publishing landscape and how to move forward with confidence. Before we dive in, I want to let you know that the doors are open to Get Paid to Get Published until this evening at 10 PM Eastern. This is your final chance to join us for this round, and I wanted to give you one more opportunity to experience the masterclass and see if writing a cookbook and getting it traditionally published is right for you. So settle in and enjoy this replay, Navigating the Publishing Industry from the Publish Your Cookbook Masterclass.

Your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works. In this week's episode of The Price of Music, Steve and Stu dip into the postbag and answer some very astute listeners' questions which get to the heart of music streaming and live music!Matt asks why ticket prices can vary so much at the same venue? And he has a good real-world example: Maximo Park and Suede are playing Cambridge Corn Exchange soon – and tickets for Maximo Park £36.50 and Suede's are £45.50. If they both sell out, Suede will be making an extra £12,600 a night by his calculations. But does it really work like that? And why do the prices vary? Steve has dug in and found out.Richard asks about the credits information for songs on Spotify – and he has noticed that there's missing or incomplete information – so does this mean the songwriters don't get paid properly? Where is all this information anyway? And how is this one of the music industry's “big, big problems,” as Stu puts it? AND: look out later this week because we've got a bonus episode on its way . We'll bring you an actual Lord: Steve will be joined by Lord Kevin Brennan, the ex-MP – and now member of the UK's House of Lords – who talks to Steve about his leadership of the UK parliament's new fan-led review of live and electronic music, with the aim of improving the sustainability of grassroots live and electronic music to safeguard the success of the wider UK music industry.As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!Email us: thepriceofmusicpodcast@gmail.comSee you next week!Steve and Stuart======Support The Price of Music on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/ThePriceofMusicFollow Steve on X - @steve_lamacqFollow Stuart on X - @stuartdredgeFollow The Price of Music on X - @PriceofMusicpodFor sponsorship opportunities, please email - joe@musically.com

President Trump is enjoying another remarkable trip overseas. On his trip to Asia, President Trump made trade deals with Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand. His mission to be the peace president continues as the president brokered another peace deal between Cambodia and Thailand with the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords. Democrats showed their true colors by voting "no" on Sen. Ron Johnson's bill on the Shutdown Fairness Act which would pay essential workers and military families. Flights to LAX were halted as there weren't enough air traffic controllers to staff one of the busiest airports in the country. Democrats created the Obamacare mess, have been hiding the Obamacare mess with subsidies while giving out benefits to illegal aliens. The broken healthcare system they created is all on the taxpayers dime and now as real American families suffer, they are still getting paid.

Matt Lund (Chief Contracting Officer, UW Medicine) walks us through the models behind how we get paid at UW Medicine. He delineates the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) methodologies for determining reimbursement amounts for different hospitals, clinics, and providers. Factors considered include the amount of medical education conducted, the amount of uncompensated care provided, complexity of procedures, and locality of the hospital among others. Matt explains the intricacies behind why we don't always get reimbursed at the amount for which we bill, adding examples of how providers can ensure we receive the best reimbursement for any care given. Finally, he considers fee-for-service and value-based care as we continuously move towards our financial and mission-driven goals. Music by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com/)

I'm working with a client who is a gifted communicator with years of real-world experience. He kept hearing that paid speaking is off limits unless you are already well known, can sell tickets by name alone, or have a massive audience. I knew that wasn't the full story. So I brought in someone I trust and have known for nearly 15 years, Grant Baldwin, to walk through what actually works today for getting paid to speak without celebrity status. Grant has trained thousands of speakers and built The Speaker Lab into a respected, enduring brand, one that has ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest, growing privately held companies in the United States for five consecutive years. What This Episode Is… And Who It's For This conversation is designed for strong communicators who are comfortable on a stage and want to translate that skill into paid opportunities. If that's you, you'll find a clear framework, realistic fee guidance, what event planners actually want, and the specific outreach and follow-up cadence that moves you from “aspiring” to “booked.” Core Mindset Shift: From “Be Famous” To “Solve A Specific Problem” Event planners aren't always evaluating your follower count. They are reducing risk. They want a reliable speaker who can solve one specific problem for one specific audience and make the organizer look like a hero for choosing wisely. If Oprah or a former president is headlining, tickets sell on name alone. For the rest of us, the job is to solve a defined problem so well that attendees are grateful and organizers are relieved they chose us. The trap to avoid: “I can speak to anyone about anything.” Don't be a buffet. Be a steakhouse. A steakhouse does one thing exceptionally well. Most buffets do many things mediocre. Your positioning must signal sharp focus, not “I do it all.” Practical implication: Choose a niche problem and audience, and let everything else in your marketing reinforce that narrow, valuable focus. The SPEAK Framework Grant Teaches (And How To Apply It) Grant uses a five-part framework. I'll restate it with my commentary and application steps you can take immediately. S - Select a problem to solve Pick one clear problem for one identifiable audience. Validate it by confirming that organizations actually hire speakers on that topic. Avoid niche passions that no one budgets for on stage. Look for the Venn overlap between what you love, what you're skilled at, and what event buyers pay for. Quick validators you can run this week: Make a list of real conferences or associations where your topic would fit. Start with local, state, and regional events rather than national headliners that pay six figures to celebrity keynoters. Identify a few working speakers one or two steps ahead of you as benchmarks. If no one exists in your proposed niche, that's not a blue ocean. It's likely a market that doesn't buy talks on that topic. P - Prepare your talk Design a talk that offers a concrete solution to the chosen audience's felt need. Make sure the talk aligns with what planners already hire speakers to address. Your talk is a product. It must reduce the organizer's risk and fulfill the promise in the program description. Tip: If there's a personal subtopic you care about that isn't a main-stage draw, embed it as a 5 to 10 percent segment within a widely purchased theme, rather than making it the headline. This blends your passion with market reality without performing a bait-and-switch. E - Establish yourself as the expert You need a sharp, professional website and a demo video. Event planners who hire speakers will compare you to several other speakers. Your materials must look as good or better than your fee peers, because people judge books by their covers, especially under risk. You do not need to spend tens of thousands, but you do need clarity and quality. What to include: Crisp positioning: audience, problem, outcome. A talk page with titles, descriptions, and learning outcomes. Select testimonials that match your audience and topic. A short, high-quality demo reel showing stage presence and audience engagement. A - Acquire paid speaking gigs This is where most speakers falter. Do not wait passively for inquiries. Identify target events, start conversations, and follow up with discipline. Smaller events are not “lesser.” They are accessible and often pay in the $1,000 to $5,000 range for quality speakers who fit well. Those reps build momentum and referrals. A starter outreach line that works: “When will you start reviewing speakers for your [season/year] event?” You're aligning to their process, not forcing a pitch at the wrong time. If they say, “in three months,” get explicit permission to follow up, then actually follow up in three months with a helpful, short note. They won't expect you to do it. Showing up reliably previews how good you'll be to work with. My added tactic: Use Facebook groups where your audience gathers to crowdsource a list of live events they already attend. Ask, “If someone wanted to fully immerse in solving [problem], what live events should they attend?” Now you have a prospect list drawn from the market itself. Then apply the outreach process above. I share the exact post volume thresholds and how I used this approach during my Free The Dream years. K - Know when to scale Speaking can be the whole business or the front end of a larger business. Some speakers aim for many gigs and fee growth. Others use speaking primarily to acquire coaching, consulting, or long-term clients worth tens of thousands, which can dwarf the fee itself. Decide your model early, then shape your targeting and topic accordingly. What To Charge When You're Getting Started Set expectations realistically. Most speakers who are early in their professional journey charge between $1,000 and $5,000 for the first several paid gigs, with growth as reps, results, and marketing assets improve. Fees vary by industry: corporations generally pay more than nonprofits, for example. Your website, demo video, testimonials, and relevance to that organizer's audience all factor into perceived value. If you are already collecting checks in the $10,000 to $25,000 range, you're likely in a pond that routinely books at that level, with the credentials and references to match. Your materials and proof must stand shoulder to shoulder with other speakers priced similarly. The decision-maker is weighing risk. Your job is to make the yes feel safe. How Event Planners Think: Risk, Fit, Proof Event planners and committees are in the risk mitigation business. They need to justify why choosing you is safe. The fastest way to help them feel safe is to present tightly aligned positioning, a clear solution for their audience, relevant testimonials, and a professional demo that shows what they will see on their stage. If you're a known quantity in their industry, you reduce risk further. Translation: Your niche experience matters. Even if you want to speak beyond your current industry later, start where you already have credibility and connections. Build momentum there, then expand. Be The Steakhouse, Not The Buffet We swapped a memorable story about a dinner in Vegas that nails this point. A top steakhouse has a short menu. It's exceptional at one thing. Too many speakers showcase a menu of twenty topics across every domain. That spreads you thin and confuses buyers. You don't become referable as “the person who solves X.” Choose X. Then keep saying X. Building Momentum: Breakouts, Workshops, Local and Regional Stages Keynotes are the glory slot, but many buyers hire outstanding breakout or workshop speakers they've never heard of. Target smaller, local, or state-level events where budgets are sensible and competition is less fierce. Use these to gather testimonials and in-industry proof. The more you speak, the more you speak. People in the seats are often the next bookers. Referrals compound. Proactive Prospecting And Follow-Up: Exactly How To Do It Most speakers fail because they wait. Here's a workable cadence: Build a prospect list of the right-fit events. Send a short, no-pressure opener: “When will you start reviewing speakers?” Capture their answer and permission to follow up. Follow up exactly when promised with a crisp, helpful note. Keep the thread warm with brief check-ins aligned to their process, not your pitch calendar. This shows the organizer what it's like to work with you. Reliability beats bravado. My supplement to this: Source events by asking active Facebook groups where your audience congregates which conferences they actually attend. Then research and contact those events using the cadence above. Two Viable Business Models: Fee-First vs. Lead-Gen-First Fee-first speakers optimize for the check, the travel schedule, and fee growth over time. Lead-gen-first speakers optimize for speaking to rooms filled with ideal buyers, then convert into higher lifetime value offers such as retainers, advisory, or premium programs. In some niches, a single client is worth more than the speaking fee. Choose the model that matches your goals and build your targeting and talk to support it. Host Your Own Stage To Create Reps And Proof You don't have to wait for an invitation. Design a focused one-day workshop around your problem-audience fit, sell tickets, and put yourself on stage. This both validates your topic and produces assets, testimonials, and compelling footage for your reel. Tactical Tips, Stories, And Subtleties You Might Miss On First Listen Expectations prevent discouragement. Speaker fees range from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands. Unless your name sells tickets, start where the market is and grow. Manage expectations early so you stay persistent long enough to break through. Industry matters. Corporate, association, education, nonprofit, faith, and government markets all have different norms and ranges. Choose the pond that fits your topic, background, and goals. Marketing assets are not optional. At minimum, have a professional, focused site and a tight demo. Decision-makers compare several speakers side by side. Present like a pro. Momentum is real. The more stages you're on, the more invitations you'll receive. Some referrals hit years later. Plant seeds now. Harvest later. Start where you have leverage. If your career was in real estate, restaurants, law, healthcare, or tech, begin there. You speak the language, know the players, and reduce buyer risk. You can always evolve your niche after you build proof. Breakouts build keynotes. Deliver great breakout sessions that solve concrete problems. That creates case studies and word of mouth that lead to higher-fee keynote opportunities. Small and local is a feature, not a bug. Many high-quality regional events have budgets in the $1,000 to $5,000 range and want excellent speakers who fit. Those are perfect on-ramps. Be personable and reliable. The subtle signals you send in email cadence, brevity, and clarity matter as much as your sizzle reel. Planners notice. Use audience hubs to find events. Facebook groups with significant daily activity are a goldmine for discovering exactly which conferences your market actually attends. Ask the right question, harvest the list, then do surgical outreach. Speaking as impact. Opportunities come in all shapes and sizes. Grant shared doing a virtual session for inmates in a county jail, and he has also spoken to arenas of 10,000. There isn't one “correct” venue. There are aligned venues for your mission and model. If You're A Strong Communicator And Ready To Start, Do This In The Next 7 Days Define your niche: Write a one-sentence positioning statement: “I help [audience] solve [problem] so they can [outcome].” Keep it painfully specific. List 25 target events: Use Google, LinkedIn, and active Facebook groups your audience frequents. Ask what events they already attend and compile answers. Tidy your materials: Ensure your site and speaker page reflect your niche clearly, with outcomes and a clean bio. If you don't have a reel, assemble a short, honest highlight cut from any footage you have. Send five concise outreach emails: “When will you start reviewing speakers for [event]?” Track replies. Ask for permission to follow up at their timeline. Build a simple follow-up system: Calendar reminders or a basic CRM. Follow up exactly when promised with a short, service-oriented note. Reliability is your advantage. Book or create one rep: Pitch a breakout locally or host a focused micro-workshop yourself. Capture testimonials and footage. Momentum starts here. Resources Mentioned The Speaker Lab website The Speaker Lab podcast The Speaking Fee Calculator The Successful Speaker book by Grant Baldwin My Closing Thought If you're gifted on stage and willing to do the unglamorous prospecting and follow-up, there is a clear, repeatable path to getting booked and paid. You do not need to be famous. You do need to be focused, professional, and persistent. Choose your “steak,” serve it beautifully to the right diners, and keep showing up. The rooms you want will start asking for you by name. Ready to Turn Your Experience Into Income? If you're still here reading this, I have a feeling I know something about you.

Who pays you, and how, for your work as a physical therapist? How health care is funded has implications for the way you work, and for the care that you can provide for patients. Societies all around the world are grappling with complex decisions about health care and how it is funded. Even more so as changing populations place different demands on health care systems, and as the health work force changes. Today, Dr Chris Bise (Assistant Professor, University of Pittsburgh) explains the changing face of health care funding, and what it means for the physical therapist. Chris has 25 years of experience as a physical therapist and health system analyst who studies value-based health care and physical therapy practice - trying to find better ways of funding health care to deliver outcomes that satisfy patients, clinicians and payers. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Building the foundation for value-based physical therapy: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.13586 Perspectives for Payers - Heel pain/plantarfasciopathy: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.0502 Perspectives for Payers - Achilles tendinopathy: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.0503
In this episode of the Hustling Sideways Podcast, we welcome Joe Mindak, co-founder of Nolodex and author of "Connectors Get Paid," to discuss his entrepreneurial journey from running a printing business with his father to building a revolutionary networking platform. Joe shares how he accidentally discovered a lucrative side hustle by earning commissions, simply from connecting people in his network, which led him to create Nolodex—a software platform that enables 550+ B2B companies to monetize their professional networks through structured referral fees. He explains the philosophy behind "Connectors Get Paid," emphasizing that people who make valuable business introductions should be compensated for their efforts, and discusses how Nolodex is disrupting traditional networking by creating incentivized referral communities where members earn commissions for successful connections. Joe also offers practical advice for those intimidated by networking, reminding listeners that introductions aren't sales pitches—they're simply connecting people who can help each other, making it easier for anyone to leverage their relationships into meaningful business opportunities.

In this episode of the SpeakersU Podcast, James Taylor and Maria Franzoni dig into one of the least glamorous but most important parts of every speaking business — speaker contracts. Whether you're new to professional speaking or a seasoned pro, understanding how to protect your intellectual property, ensure timely payment, and manage client expectations can make or break your business. Maria explains why every speaker should have their own agreement rather than signing the client's, outlines the three most essential contract clauses, and shares tips learned from decades of managing high-profile speakers. James discusses real-world examples, from green riders and recording rights to payment terms and handling last-minute “scope creep.” Packed with practical templates, cautionary tales, and negotiation tactics, this episode will help you get paid on time, protect your content, and build lasting professional relationships with clients and bureaus. Key Takeaways Have your own contract – Don't rely on the client's; be in control of your terms. Three must-have clauses – Payment terms, cancellation terms, and recording/IP rights. Scope creep is real – If the client adds panels, dinners, or extra work, renegotiate. Never travel without payment – Aim for full balance 30 days before the event. Use “firm offer” forms – Simplify admin and confirm all details before committing. Protect your recordings – Approve edits, restrict public use, and get a copy of all footage. Green riders matter – Add sustainability or ethical clauses that reflect your values. Be clear on travel and security – Define who pays, how you travel, and what safety steps apply. Weird rider stories – From “no journalists allowed” to 10 a.m. wine, the industry has seen it all. Memorable Quotes “Speakers should have their own contract — not the client's.” – Maria Franzoni “The date is the contract. If it changes, renegotiate.” – Maria Franzoni “Don't step on stage until 100 percent of your fee has been paid.” – James Taylor “You can't control when a client pays, but you can control when you travel.” – Maria Franzoni “Add the day of the week next to the date — it saves endless confusion.” – Maria Franzoni “Keep your contracts simple enough to understand, but strong enough to protect you.” – James Taylor Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome & catching up on dogs, lunches, and life balance 01:47 – Why contracts matter (and the legal disclaimer) 03:22 – What hasn't changed in speaker contracts for 25 years 05:14 – The three essential clauses every speaker needs 06:52 – Payment schedules and why balance should be due 30 days before 08:09 – Firm offer forms vs. booking forms and confirmation letters 11:07 – Common negotiation points and dealing with slow-paying clients 12:35 – Accepting credit cards – yes, but add the surcharge 14:27 – Late-payment clauses and procurement headaches 15:58 – Scope creep: when clients add panels, dinners, or sponsor meetings 17:22 – Recording and IP rights: how to protect your material 20:21 – What to allow (and not allow) for public or internal use 23:19 – Editorial approval and licensing fees for wider distribution 25:50 – Using a bureau's contract to simplify client onboarding 27:03 – Travel clauses and buyout options 29:34 – The rise of the Green Rider and sustainable speaker travel 32:17 – Security clauses – from former heads of state to practical travel safety 36:08 – Craziest contract clauses: no journalists, no competitors, no flashes 39:15 – Funny (and alarming) rider requests from celebrity speakers 42:12 – Templates, tips, and the “add the day of the week” trick 43:56 – Digital signatures: Hello Sign, Echo Sign, and Google Docs e-signing 45:00 – Wrap-up and listener invitation for contract questions Resources & Links Free Speaker Contract Template: speakersu.com/contracts (example placeholder) Email questions or ideas: hello@speakersu.com Follow James Taylor & Maria Franzoni on LinkedIn for daily speaking tips

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Thompson, a man who has built an extraordinary business around something most people only do out of kindness: connecting others. I've met plenty of people over the years who are natural connectors. They love introducing friends, clients, and peers to each other. Those introductions often lead to life-changing opportunities. But Kevin is the first person I've met who figured out how to turn that gift into a sustainable business model. Kevin's story begins with more than a decade in the publishing world, where he grew his company through over 600 strategic partnerships. Along the way, he discovered how much joy he found in helping people meet and collaborate. For years, he did it freely, simply because it felt good to serve. But one introduction in particular, connecting marketing legends Perry Marshall and Brian Kurtz, planted a powerful seed. That connection eventually led to a multimillion-dollar event, and when Kevin was publicly recognized for being the bridge that made it all possible, he began wondering: What if I could make a living just doing this? For a long time, he battled with the ethics of charging for introductions. Friends even told him it wasn't something that anyone should even consider. But in 2017, a single conversation changed everything. A friend suggested he host a small, in-person gathering of the entrepreneurs he knew. Kevin couldn't sleep that night. By 4:30 the next morning, he was making a list of everyone he wanted to invite. His enthusiasm was contagious. His wife offered to handle catering, and the first six entrepreneurs he spoke to said, “I'm in.” That August, Kevin hosted his first event at his home in Arlington, Washington, with 15 attendees who each paid $5,000 to be there. They spent time sharing openly, collaborating deeply, and forming meaningful relationships that continued long after the event ended. A month later, he hosted another group, and it filled just as quickly. What began as a simple idea soon became a thriving business. From there, Kevin developed an ongoing model, first through one-on-one connection work and later through group experiences that aligned more naturally with his gifts. Today, he helps entrepreneurs create five-, six-, and seven-figure business opportunities through authentic relationship-building, often earning revenue shares from the connections he facilitates. Throughout this conversation, Kevin and I explore not only how he did it, but the deeper mindset that made it possible, the excitement, confidence, and belief that magnetized people toward his vision. You'll hear how he overcame doubt, learned from missteps, refined his structure, and ultimately built a business that's as fulfilling as it is profitable. Insights Gained from This Episode The surprising way one powerful introduction can change the trajectory of your business and someone else's. Why enthusiasm, confidence and conviction often matter more than a polished business plan when sharing a new idea. How imposter syndrome keeps many people from seeing the true value they already bring to others. The mindset shift from “I shouldn't charge for this” to “People are happy to pay for the value I create.” The simple structure behind Kevin's first $5,000-per-person event and why intimacy and authenticity mattered more than luxury or production. How to test new business ideas through real conversations before locking yourself into a plan. What Kevin learned from early business models that didn't work, and how he redesigned them to fit his natural strengths. The importance of alignment: when the structure of your business supports the way you actually like to show up, everything flows easier. How relationships, built with integrity and generosity, can create long-term, recurring income. The power of turning what you naturally love to do into something that sustains your life, your purpose, and the people you serve.

2025-10-03 | Silicon Wafers 018 | DAILY UPDATES | Russia's looming budget crisis. How fuel shortages, collapsing revenues, and war spending are squeezing the Kremlin. Can Putin keep paying his army next year? What happens if he can't? And what do these pressures mean for the broader alliance between China, Russia and Iran. To understand the immediate danger, we need to map how Russia's fiscal model has cracked under war conditions. For years, Moscow has run a heavily militarized economy: energy exports, sanctions arbitrage, deep state control, subsidies, extraction of wealth from occupied territories. That model is fraying.----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv. The film production began in 2018, and much has changed since then. It is now 2025, and this story is far from over.https://www.youtube.com/@UCz6UbVKfqutH-N7WXnC5Ykg https://www.kyivofmine.com/#theprojectKyiv of Mine is fast paced, beautifully filmed, humorous, fun, insightful, heartbreaking, moving, hopeful. The very antithesis in fact of a doom-laden and worthy wartime documentary. This is a work that is extraordinarily uplifting. My friend Operator Starsky says the film is “Made with so much love. The film series will make you laugh and cry.” ----------Autumn Harvest: Silicon Curtain (Goal €22,000)This is super important. We'll be supporting troops in Pokrovsk, Kharkiv, and other regions where the trucks are needed the most. There are so many Battalions in Ukraine, fighting to defend our freedoms, but lack basics such as vehicles. These are destroyed on a regular basis, and lack of transport is costs lives, and Ukrainian territory.

Over the past few years, I've heard several people suggest that "blogging is dead." However, one of my favorite coaching clients earns her primary income from her blog and also hosts retreats and an annual conference for an entire community of food bloggers who earn an income from their blogging efforts. So I invited my client, Megan Porta, and asked her the question, "Can you still make money blogging in 2025?" Short answer: Yes. It's doable. It looks different than it did a decade ago. It requires real passion, patience, and a focus on what serves readers right now. Below are thorough show notes to meet you exactly where you are. If you want to start or revive a blog as a real income stream, these notes double as a step-by-step primer. What This Episode Covers Why blogging still pays when you pair patience with passion Megan has seen brand-new bloggers “crushing it.” The difference now is you cannot fake it. Your readers and Google both know when you do. Authenticity wins. The fastest realistic path to first income Join a quality ad network once your traffic qualifies. We name the two big players and their current thresholds. We also discuss why Google SEO and Pinterest are still the two traffic pillars that move the needle. Niching way down to win Broad “everything” blogs struggle today. Specific sub-niches serve specific people and get rewarded. Think “vegan cakes” instead of “vegan.” The love for your topic has to show up in every post. The collaboration playbook for early momentum Smart email list swaps. Contributing value inside the right Facebook groups without spamming. How one helpful post can put a niche creator “on the map” in months. Income beyond ads Digital products. Memberships. Sponsorships. How to think about affiliate income post-HCU and what still works if you are selective. Platform and tech choices that save you pain Why WordPress.org with solid hosting is still the move. Why a VPS and proactive security matter. Real-world cautionary tales about updates, backups, and malware. Key Takeaways and Insights 1) Yes, you can still get paid to blog. The bar is higher. If you bring patience and genuine expertise, you can absolutely build an income today. People starting in the last year or two are succeeding. The difference is the landscape. Authenticity and user value must drive your strategy. 2) Niche inside the niche Winning examples are laser-specific. Pick a tight segment of a larger category, then become unmistakably helpful to that reader. This is how you break through and build trust. 3) Traffic plan: SEO and Pinterest first To qualify for premium ad networks, prioritize traffic that comes from search and Pinterest. Current thresholds discussed in the episode: Mediavine at roughly 50,000 sessions per month and Raptive at roughly 100,000 pageviews per month. Build to those numbers, then let ad RPMs start compounding. 4) Collaboration without spam Use email list collaborations. Show up consistently inside large, topic-relevant Facebook groups. Earn trust by answering questions with real substance. This moves traffic quickly when your niche is dialed in. 5) Create on-topic, helpful content Google's Helpful Content updates pushed bloggers to stay tightly aligned with user intent. Keep posts on point for your niche. Tangential personal stories and off-topic content dilute perceived expertise and can hurt discoverability. 6) Monetization mix that works in 2025 Display Ads once you hit network thresholds. This becomes semi-passive as your library grows. Digital Products as quick wins: ebooks, guides, weekly prep plans. These are simple to produce and match your audience's immediate needs. Memberships if your audience is invested. Price points in food niches commonly range from about 5 to 20 dollars per month, often for ad-free experiences or exclusive content. Tech options include WordPress setups and hosted communities such as Circle, Skool, Slack, Discord, Mighty Networks, and niche tools like Member Kitchens. Sponsorships when you can articulate your audience's value. Niche reach can beat raw follower counts if you understand a sponsor's acquisition economics and lifetime value. Affiliate Income is trickier after recent updates. It can still work at higher commissions or with premium offers. Treat it as a supplemental play, not your core plan. 7) Stack the tech in your favor Choose WordPress.org for full control, proven SEO flexibility, and extensibility. Invest in good hosting. A VPS with strong uptime guarantees is worth it. Expect to pay roughly 89 to 150 dollars per month for reliability that protects your revenue. Treat security and backups as non-negotiables. Plugins and themes require regular updates. Malware exploits often come from simple neglect. Have a pro who can restore fast. This avoids losing days or weeks or years of content. Practical Playbook Phase 1. Choose a narrow niche and validate demand List ten posts your ideal reader would save today. Ensure all are tightly aligned with one outcome your niche cares about. Keep stories and extras on-topic so Google sees topical authority. Phase 2. Protect the asset Run WordPress.org on a reliable VPS and keep everything updated. Assign backups and security to a pro so you do not risk outages or data loss. Phase 3. Build a traffic engine Publish high-quality posts that answer exact questions your audience asks. Optimize for search and create Pinterest assets for each post. Aim for Mediavine or Raptive thresholds to unlock ad revenue. Phase 4. Accelerate through collaboration Join large, relevant Facebook groups. Contribute substantial answers that stand on their own. Start tasteful email list collaborations for quick, qualified traffic. Phase 5. Layer monetization Add an easy digital product that solves a specific use case. Test a simple membership once engagement is strong. Pitch sponsors when you can quantify your audience's fit and value.
