Sasha Sweets grew up in California as a natural hustler — selling candy before moving to drugs, working at a strip club, and always chasing the finer things in life while her father was in prison for part of her childhood — before getting into a scamming operation with the father of her child in her early twenties that produced a federal indictment, 3.5 years in federal prison across California, Kentucky, and Arizona, and over $2 million in restitution. _____________________________________________ #crimenews #prisonstory #truecrimestories #scam _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

If you could pick only one, would you take 10,000 new followers or 10 new paying clients? That simple question exposes a problem many entrepreneurs run into: we confuse attention with revenue, then wonder why we feel “busy” but not profitable. We're done treating Instagram followers, views, downloads, and impressions like the finish line. We want a business model that pays us, supports our life, and rewards depth over noise.We break down why audience growth does not always equal business growth and how chasing bigger numbers can dilute your messaging, pull you into trend-chasing, and turn content creation into a full-time job. Visibility without a clear offer and a clear conversion path can leave you with a large audience that never buys. The alternative is simpler and more sustainable: focus on transformation, not broadcasting, and build trust with the right people who are already paying attention.Then we get practical with a 90-day focus plan built around five moves: the right audience, the right offer, the right conversations, the right content, and the right conversion path. We also explain why a handful of great clients can become your best marketing through case studies, testimonials, referrals, and real market intelligence that helps you sell with clarity.If you're ready to stop optimizing for vanity metrics and start optimizing for profit, hit play, share this with a friend who's stuck chasing followers, and subscribe and leave a review so more business owners can find it.Read more hereBook your free discovery call.Support the show
The Best Personal Trainer Client Acquisition Strategies for InstagramEpisode 441 | How Personal Trainers Get Your First 5 Clients on Instagram Without Going ViralYou have been told to post for 60 days, build know-like-and-trust, make a freebie, and then DM 20 to 50 strangers a day until someone books a call. That model builds you a second job, not a business. In this episode I break down the three client acquisition strategies my clients and I actually use to get paid every day, the Conversation Starter, the Low Ticket Lead System, and the Webinar Low Ticket Funnel. No spam DMs, no high-pressure sales calls, no pretending to be someone's best friend so they'll ask about your program. You'll also get the customer-versus-client distinction that changes how you build your list, why free lead magnets stopped converting, and the exact ROAS targets to hit before you scale ad spend.What You'll Discover:The difference between a customer and a client, and why building an email list of buyers beats a list of freebie downloadersWhy no funnel will save a vague offer, and how to define the leveraged components of your premium programHow the Conversation Starter turns your content into inbound DMs from the 3% of your audience who are already ready to buyWhy 100 buyers will out-produce 800 free leads, and how low ticket offers convert at 8 to 10% versus roughly 2%How to build a low ticket front-end offer that offsets your ad spend from day oneThe webinar low ticket funnel to run if lower customer volume or ad spend makes you nervousThe 90-day focus rule and the front-end and back-end ROAS numbers to hit before scalingTimestamps00:00 — Three client acquisition strategies without pushy sales or spam DMs00:44 — Who I am and why I teach this02:19 — Customer vs. client: the distinction that changes your whole list strategy03:11 — Why I build an email list of low ticket buyers03:57 — The traditional model: 60 days of value, a freebie, and 50 DMs a day05:13 — Why that model breaks coaches (12 to 18 hour days, unpaid)06:55 — Before any funnel: your premium offer has to be dialed in07:51 — The trap of turning your in-person job into an online job08:36 — Defining the leveraged components of your offer11:38 — Real offer structure examples: onboarding, async check-ins, phased reviews12:41 — Specific problem, specific outcome, specific person14:27 — Strategy 1: The Conversation Starter14:42 — Why we've been indoctrinated to think selling harms people15:38 — Free is never free: time, energy, effort16:27 — When people pay, they pay attention17:15 — Six to 14 touch points and seven hours of consumption17:51 — The free dog food analogy18:19 — Energy exchange and emotional investment20:27 — The 3% of your audience who are already buyers21:55 — Conversion content that produces DMs22:15 — The four buyer questions you have to answer23:16 — Gating your old PDF and why speed to connection matters24:14 — Using a customized enrollment call as your Conversation Starter25:16 — Moving DMs to a call, and revenue in three to 14 days26:45 — Combining organic with $2 to $5 test ads27:08 — Strategy 2: The Low Ticket Lead System28:00 — The 10-minute workout example and the ascension point28:47 — How low ticket buyers offset your ad spend immediately30:03 — Front-end offer ideas: recipes, mobility, low back pain stretches31:36 — 800 leads for a VSL vs. 100 buyers for the same 10 clients31:57 — 2% conversion vs. 8 to 10% conversion32:22 — Why posting 5 to 10 times a day burns you out33:11 — 14,000 views vs. 148 views on identical posts33:36 — Strategy 3: The Webinar Low Ticket Funnel34:20 — Putting a low ticket offer on your webinar thank you page34:53 — How to set up your traffic campaign and what to optimize for35:30 — Pick two funnels and run them for 90 days35:41 — Front-end 1-2 ROAS, back-end 4-8 ROAS, unlimited ad budget36:02 — Tracking the metrics that actually matter37:43 — Join me live for Simple ScalingResources MentionedSimple Scaling (free live training) — How I turn $9 into consistent 50K months: https://ptprofitformula.com/simplescalingPT Profit Formula — https://ptprofitformula.comThe Offer Lab — the section of my client portal where coaches position their premium offer and build their Conversation StarterThe Implementation Hub — where the offer components, delivery structure, and metrics tracking liveTelegram — used for async client check-ins in a one-to-many way: https://telegram.orgReady for the Next Step?If you want the full system, offer positioning, the three funnels, and the metrics tracking that ties them together, the PT Profit Accelerator is where we build it with you.

Missy Tannen spent five years teaching third grade and a decade as a stay-at-home mom before she ever thought about starting a company. But when she couldn't find bedding that was high-quality, ethically sourced, and traceable, she and her husband Scott started Boll & Branch out of pure frustration. On this episode of She Pivots, Missy talks about betting the family's life savings on an idea, borrowing against their own house even while sales were taking off, and what it took to scale from a garage operation to a 200-person company without losing what made it different in the first place. She's brutally honest about the mess behind the milestones (a full batch of ivory sheets that came out green!) and about running a family business—that’s now worth over $250 million—with her husband while raising their kids.

(Lander, WY) – The Tinderwoods have been on quite a journey over the past few months. Lander’s Adam Kirkpatrick, Micah Wyatt, Brady Frude and Vince Tropea have logged plenty of miles, playing gigs across the state. They’ve entertained hundreds of fans at packed venues and just a handful of onlookers in some of the state’s smallest towns. Along the way, they’ve admittedly consumed more hot dogs than any group of grown men probably should. Most unexpectedly, they’ve gone viral by blending a beloved country sing-along with an early hip-hop anthem. The band was just selected as Fremont County’s only representatives to play the Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources ‘Tunes On The Trail,’ event this year. What’s more, they are one of just four Wyoming bands playing the 2026 series. You can catch their show Saturday, August 15th at the South Pass State Historical Site, where visitors will have the chance to enjoy a hike and soak in a 90-minute concert, surrounded by nature. Hike Start Time: 4:30 p.m. Meeting Location for Hike: Dance Hall Hike Distance and Difficulty: 2 miles round-trip, moderate to steep terrain. Performance Time: 5:30-7 p.m. Performance Location: Mouth of the English Tunnel *Accessibility options are available. Please contact South Pass City State Historic Site in advance to explore these options: (307) 332-3684. We caught up with Adam, Micah, Brady and Vince about being selected for the event. Together they tell us more about the band, share their unique personalities and tell us why supporting live music in Wyoming is so important.

Ryan Ashton, known online as @ryanashtonwashere, joins me for a remarkably honest conversation about losing his father to Lewy body dementia, the strange shape of anticipatory grief, and what happened when a deeply personal video took him from 300 to 39,000 followers overnight; now almost 150,000.We talk about the pressure to turn vulnerability into a business, protecting people's trust in a world full of grifters, and how yoga offered Ryan a presence of mind he hadn't found elsewhere—until filming it began to turn practice into performance. A moving, funny and refreshingly unpolished conversation about identity, loss, masculinity and learning to sit beside someone without trying to fix them.“You only get one shot at people's trust.

Looksmaxxing is the current viral trend in which men seek to improve their physical attractiveness using physical, cosmetic, and surgical procedures and techniques. In this episode, I explain why it's going viral, arguing that dating apps, social media, and changing relationship dynamics have transformed male incentives in the sexual marketplace. I'll discuss why male physical attractiveness now plays a larger role in modern dating than ever before – and where self-improvement crosses into obsession. Join my community: The Captains' Quarters.

The flash mob dancer who stole the show at the Commonwealth Games says they wanted to entertain the crowd with something flashy - but not too serious. Scotland's CJ Miller, known as 'Mop Man', has delighted audiences with half-time performances using household appliances as props, often coming out as a cleaner before breaking into dance. The 25-year-old says the props were not their idea. "I was instructed - here is your vacuum, here is your mop, have fun. And I was like - what about me makes you think that I would find this fun? But you know what, I was proven wrong." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Constitutional Chats hosted by Janine Turner and Cathy Gillespie
In an era of instant global communication, it is hard to fathom a time when it took it took months to communication across the Atlantic or weeks to send letters across the colonies. But that's the world in which our country was founded. The role of newspapers is such a vital component to our founding as it's how word of the new Declaration of Independence was transmitted to gain public support for the American Revolution. To further expound on the role of newspapers and "viral" content for that era, we are pleased to welcome a close friend of Constituting America, Gary Porter to our show. Gary Porter is a prolific writer and is the founder of former executive director of the Constitution Leadership Initiative.

What if the post you almost didn't publish ended up making you more money than your viral reel ever could? In this episode, Emma challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in social media marketing: that more views automatically means more sales. Viral content is great for visibility, but attention alone doesn't generate revenue. Sustainable growth comes from creating content that builds trust, attracts the right audience, and inspires action. You'll learn the critical difference between vanity metrics and conversion metrics, why entertaining content serves a different purpose than sales-focused content, and how to evaluate whether your marketing is actually moving people closer to becoming customers. If you've ever wondered why high-performing content isn't translating into sales, this conversation will help you build long-term success and create a marketing strategy that prioritizes meaningful results over reactions. Listen in as Emma explains: Why conversion metrics matter more than views or followers The three questions every business should ask before publishing content How to create a social media strategy focused on long-term growth And much, much more!

Natasha Walstra, founder of Near Point Strategies, shares why LinkedIn is one of the most powerful platforms for building authentic business relationships—not by chasing likes or becoming an influencer, but by creating meaningful conversations that lead to real opportunities. She shares her journey from struggling with cold calls in sales to discovering the power of relationship-based networking, eventually building a thriving business around helping entrepreneurs use LinkedIn with confidence and intention. Natasha also explains why personal branding is about trust, not popularity, and how business owners can create content without letting social media take over their lives. In this episode, Natasha breaks down her relationship-driven LinkedIn framework, covering mindset, personal branding, content creation, and permission-based social selling. She also discusses the importance of bringing your authentic voice to LinkedIn instead of relying too heavily on AI, maximizing networking events before, during, and after they happen, and leveraging your existing network before searching for new connections.

He made them in his apartment with a KitchenAid mixer and five ingredients, then scaled to 10,000 bars per day.The biggest mistake most entrepreneurs make: they don't understand their market deeply enough before scaling, and the technical details (water activity, shelf life, microbiology) destroy you if you wing it. The formula that works: superior macros, good taste, clean ingredients, fair price. And America is easier to dominate than Europe because there's no tall poppy syndrome, everyone just wants you to win.00:00 Introduction02:01 Mike introduces Peter and the RX Bar success06:12 Transition from kitchen to commercial production11:21 Overcoming scaling challenges and shelf-life issues14:28 First breakthrough with Wegmans retail partnership20:08 Road to a $600M exit and maintaining integrity25:20 Post-exit identity crisis and brief hedonism30:36 The itch to build again and non-compete limitations33:35 Returning to protein bars with a unique approach37:12 The rise of protein products in everyday foods45:17 Launching David bars with innovative ingredients54:15 Incorporating AI and fostering a productive team1:02:10 Future goals and diversification with new brands» Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand - https://thrstofficial.com/» Discover Bioniq Lab peptide products - https://bioniqlab.com/mike1010% off with code MIKE10» Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/» Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst» Follow PeterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterrahal/?hl=enDavid Protein: https://davidprotein.com/
Brendan Kane built a social media following of one million people in 30 days. Not with a big budget. Not with a team of 40 like Gary Vaynerchuk. Just relentless testing and a framework most people overlook entirely.Kane is the founder and CEO of HookPoint and the author of three books: "1 Million Followers," "Hook Point: How to Stand Out in a Three Second World," and "The Guide to Going Viral." He has spent over 20 years decoding what makes content break through on social media, and his findings might surprise you.In this episode, we dig into why storytelling is the only metric that matters, how formats rooted in 1920s entertainment still dominate today's feeds, and why 99% of creators are focused on the wrong things.

ORDER MY NEW BOOK (AVAILABLE NOW)!!! — https://bit.ly/49CZ5A0 Gerry and I are joined by Funny AF top six finalist and stand-up comedian Winston Hodges, who, before he was making Kevin Hart, Chelsea Handler, and Kumail Nanjiani laugh on Netflix, spent four years teaching at a school for kids on the autism spectrum in Virginia. Winston shares some of the wildest classroom stories I've heard on this pod, whether it's getting hit with a globe mid-Civil War lecture, becoming the school's unofficial crisis negotiator, or the one-month average staff retention that meant his coworker Marissa quit on day TWO. He also explains why special education teachers are tough as nails, and how working with kids on the autism spectrum made him weirdly elite at managing other comedians' meltdowns. Then we go fully behind the scenes of Funny AF. Who ran the light by ten full minutes and genuinely thought they killed, the conversation about his late dad that got cut, why some sets got edited harder than others, and how he handled the brutal Threads discourse around the show. Takeaways: Special education teachers are some of the toughest, most skilled humans in the building. The "sweet and gentle" stereotype misses the patience, paperwork, and de-escalation skills the job actually demands. Crisis de-escalation is a transferable superpower. Working with autistic students made Winston better at handling hecklers, talking comics off the ledge, and the kind of active listening most people don't get in their day-to-day life. Reality TV editing is real, but Funny AF wasn't a hit piece. Winston says the team genuinely loved comedy and worked to make everyone look good, even when they could have done the opposite. Don't trust the algorithm to tell you when your favorite comic is in town. Get on their email list, or you'll be the person commenting "when are you coming to my city?" two days after they leave. Comedy used to feel like a brotherhood, comics could trash-talk each other privately but had each other's backs publicly. That solidarity is slipping, and it's a bummer for the whole craft. -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!
