Two teams with almost zero contractual leverage, Boston and New York have almost no choice but to run it back. But what does that mean in both cases? Does Jaylen Brown go back to being the #2?

Most real estate team leaders and broker-owners only look at their financials once or twice a year — and it almost always happens during slow season, when the numbers look their worst and emotions are running high. In this episode, Brian Icenhower breaks down why that annual P&L review sets leaders up for reactive, costly decisions — and introduces the monthly snapshot system that keeps you grounded in your numbers all year long. In this episode, you'll learn: Why reviewing your real estate brokerage financial model only at tax time leads to reactive decision-making How slow-season emotions drive team leaders to cut agents and restructure splits unnecessarily What a monthly snapshot is — and how a simple Google Sheet can transform how you lead your business The specific metrics every real estate team and brokerage should track each month, including GCI, cost of sales, and net income How tracking cost of sales as a percentage of GCI helps you understand what you're actually paying per transaction Why economies of scale matter when evaluating agent count and commission structure How to build a business owner mindset and stop reacting emotionally to seasonal slowdowns About Brian Icenhower: Brian Icenhower is a nationally recognized real estate coach, trainer, and former broker-owner with decades of experience helping agents, team leaders, and broker-owners build profitable, scalable businesses. He is the founder of Icenhower Coaching & Training and the author of multiple real estate training resources available at therealestatetrainer.com. If you're leading a team or running a brokerage, this episode is a must-listen. The monthly snapshot isn't a complicated system — but it might be the most important habit you can build to protect your business through every season of the market.

Der Börsengang von SpaceX ist kein normales IPO, sondern ein Stresstest für Anleger, ETFs und Indexanbieter. Deshalb dominiert er den ersten Teil unserer Q&A-Reihe: Tobias Kramer beantwortet eure Fragen zu SpaceX, Starlink, American Tower, DAX und FAZ-Index, Gesundheitsaktien und Depot-Transparenz – nüchtern, mit Zahlen, ohne Hype. SpaceX kommt zu 135 bis 162 Dollar je Aktie an die Börse, das entspricht einer Bewertung von 1,8 bis 2,1 Billionen US-Dollar. Neue Class-A-Aktionäre halten danach zusammen gerade einmal 11,5 Prozent der Stimmrechte, während Elon Musk über seine Class-B-Aktien mit zehnfachem Stimmrecht rund 85 Prozent der Stimmen kontrolliert. Tobias rechnet einen bewusst optimistischen Bull Case durch (400 Mrd. Umsatz und 30 Prozent Nettomarge bis 2033) – und landet selbst dann bei einer unbequemen Antwort auf die Frage: Wie viel Zukunft ist hier schon bezahlt? Die Themen im Überblick: ▪️ Starlink Mobile als Angriff auf Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile US und den globalen Mobilfunkmarkt – Chance, Schwachstelle und Frequenz-Politik ▪️ Nasdaq 100 vs. S&P 500: Warum die Fast-Track-Aufnahme von SpaceX Kritik verdient – und der S&P 500 mit seinen Regeln überzeugt ▪️ American Tower: Hat der Funkturm-REIT gegen Starlink noch eine Zukunft? ▪️ SpaceX shorten? Warum Tobias dringend davon abrät – Stichwort Lock-up-Fristen und Optionsprämien ▪️ DAX oder FAZ-Index: Welcher deutsche Index gehört ins Depot? ▪️ Gesundheitsaktien (Abbott, Medtronic, Pfizer, Boston Scientific): Übersehener Sektor oder Value-Falle? ▪️ Depot-Einblick: Der Link zur Google-Sheet-Übersicht steht in den Timestamps Unterm Strich eine klare Absage an Bewertungsromantik: Große Visionen reichen nicht, wenn Anleger heute schon den Gewinn von übermorgen bezahlen. Schreibt in die Kommentare, wie ihr den SpaceX-Case rechnet: 2 Billionen gerechtfertigt, 60 Prozent Rückschlagpotenzial – oder seht ihr den Weg zu 10 Billionen? Und wenn ihr solche Q&A-Folgen wollt: Abonniert den Kanal und meldet euch für unseren Mail-Verteiler auf echtgeld.tv an – dort laufen Umfragen, Fragerunden und Verlosungen. Teil 2 mit den weiteren Fragen (u. a. Marvell Technology und LVMH) folgt in der nächsten Sendung.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → AI is moving fast, and the bookkeeping profession is squarely in its path — but not in the way most people fear. In this episode, Michael Palmer sits down with AI strategist and educator Benjamin Tasker to talk about what the shift actually looks like on the ground, which skills will separate bookkeepers who thrive from those who stall, and how to start building your own AI system without a data science degree. Chapters [00:00] Welcome and Ben's Background [03:15] From Data Science to AI Education [08:00] AI's Real Impact on Bookkeeping [12:00] Human Judgment as the Key Check [15:30] Skills That Separate Thriving Bookkeepers [21:00] Data, Systems, and AI Strategy [25:00] Opportunities to Move Up the Value Chain [29:00] First Steps for Integrating AI [32:00] Client Expectations and Transparency [35:00] Fear, Mindset, and Where to Find Ben AI Will Elevate Bookkeeping, Not Replace It Ben is direct about the headline fear: bookkeepers are not going away. "AI will help elevate what a bookkeeper does," he says. The repetitive work — transaction coding, receipt capture, anomaly detection, drafting reports — gets absorbed by AI, which frees up the bookkeeper to move from data entry to data judgment. Think less time in the books and more time coaching clients on their financial pain points. AICPA and Intuit both point in the same direction: the future of the role looks a lot more like analytics and advisory than data input. The Two Skill Lanes Every Bookkeeper Should Know Ben references the World Economic Forum's skills taxonomy, which divides skills into two tracks. AI skills — analytical thinking, systems thinking, coding — pay a premium today, but AI will eventually encroach on those. Human skills — communication, empathy, leadership — are undervalued right now but will command a premium as AI can only mimic, never genuinely replace, them. "AI can put on a facade of empathy and compassion, but it really can't have it because it's robotic." For bookkeepers, the practical focus areas are AI supervision (checking outputs rigorously), advisory thinking, digital and data fluency, and transparent client communication. The Human in the Loop Is Not Optional Ben's background in healthcare data — building algorithms to predict sepsis risk from bedside monitors — gives him a sharp view on why human validation matters. A small data error that goes unchecked can cascade into a much larger problem. "A mistake, especially for a small business owner, could cost tens of thousands of dollars." Bookkeepers already understand this: the work is either right or it isn't. That precision mindset is exactly what responsible AI use demands, and it is a genuine competitive advantage for practitioners who carry it into their AI workflows. Data Is the Oil — Build a System, Not Just a Stack of Tools One of Ben's clearest points: buying an AI tool is not an AI strategy. The framework he outlines is straightforward — start with your data (client records, call transcripts, templates, Google Sheets), run it through a system you build and control, apply AI to it, then validate and iterate. "Just because you buy an AI tool doesn't mean you have an AI strategy or even an AI business." He encourages bookkeepers to build their own processing systems rather than relying entirely on third-party integrations that can change without warning. Start small — something as simple as having AI draft follow-up emails from call transcripts is a low-risk, high-value first step. Practical First Steps and Client Communication For bookkeepers ready to start, Ben's advice is to pick a low-stakes problem, solve it, and let that build confidence. Use AI to profile prospective clients from call transcripts, automate follow-up reminders, or create a client-facing dashboard from existing data. On the client side, transparency is non-negotiable: communicate that you are using AI, explain how it benefits them, and teach them how to give better inputs so they get better outputs. "By providing inputs and encouraging your customers to use AI to show them the benefits of it, they're going to become less resistant over time." That kind of teaching deepens the client relationship well beyond what traditional bookkeeping alone can offer.

There's a lot to keep track of when you're releasing music. Release dates. ISRCs. Lyrics. Artwork. Press photos. Streaming links. Download links. Metadata. Songwriter information. And somehow, years later, you still need to find all of it again. In this episode, I share one of the most useful systems I've ever created for managing releases: Release Central.   PRESENTED BY HELLBENDER VINYL - www.hellbendervinyl.com   Release Central is a simple Google Sheet that acts as a centralized home base for every album, EP, or single you release. It's where I keep all the important information related to a project—from metadata and promotional assets to release schedules and private links. I've used this system for years across my own releases and recently started teaching it to my Labelmates VIP coaching clients, who have found it incredibly helpful. Download your copy:

Episode SummaryAlexey Mitko is a partner at Co-Ventures, the architect behind Eucalyptus' ESOP plan, and widely known in the Australian ecosystem as "ESOP Guy." He was around employee number twenty at Canva and one of the early employees at Koala, giving him a front-row seat to three of Australia's biggest consumer tech outcomes.In this episode, Cheryl and Maxine unpack how Alexey designed the ESOP plan that led to roughly $300 million distributed back to Eucalyptus employees, the largest ESOP payout in Australian history. He walks through the three questions every founder faces but rarely verbalises: who gets equity, how much, and why you have an ESOP plan in the first place.You'll also hear how he modelled allocation across multiple rounds and hundreds of hires to avoid giving too much away early, why he personally walked the first two hundred employees through their equity, and why Australia's lack of a secondary market keeps ESOP feeling like monopoly money.

Part two! We ended up with more to discuss than I realized, and so we split it up.

WATCH ▶️ ⁠Watch this episode on YouTube⁠ ***   EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode, I'm joined by Scott Sarai.   Scott is a Mortgage Broker at SGS Mortgages from Maple Ridge, BC, who's a part of Team Wiley at Tango while also still being a full-time firefighter.   After spending time as a broker, Scott started a fulfillment business working for other brokers, which ended up eroding his passion for mortgages. With plans to exit the industry entirely, a game-changing conversation with Ryan led to giving his business 6 more months of life. Now with a renewed mindset, mentorship, and an innovative approach, Scott's revenue jumped from $25,000 in 2024, to over $350,000 in 2025, while also revitalizing his passion for brokering and positioning himself for success in the future.   What makes Scott's story genuinely compelling is how deeply human it feels. He battled imposter syndrome, rebuilt his Instagram from scratch after Meta restricted his original account, and learned to delegate so he could focus exclusively on high-value work instead of low-level tasks. He tracked over 86,000 outreach interactions and logged 48,714 checkmarks in a daily Google Sheet, because consistent tracked activity directly correlates to revenue.   Done is better than perfect runs through everything Scott shares here, from launching email campaigns quickly to batch-recording fifteen to thirty-five reels in under two hours monthly. His story is a reminder that sustainable success is built, not stumbled into.   Scott is here to discuss:   → How he 13x his revenue from $25,000 in 2024, to over $346,000 in 2025, by having over 85,000 touch points with clients.   → The 4 things that make him a successful broker - speed, execution, who not how, and being a student of the game.   → What a broker should do in the next 30 days to be successful.   → His daily social media outreach strategy, why he started a YouTube channel, and why he created a new Instagram account.   → Investing in coaching, outsourcing early, and how action beats perfection.   → Overcoming jealousy in the industry and if he finally feels like he belongs.   → Why it's ok to be bored in your business and his vision for the next 2 years. ***   Scott's 1st Appearance on The Mortgage Game in Episode 271: https://www.iamryanwiley.com/271-how-he-10xd-his-business-the-27m-to-40m-broker/ ***

Episode #310! This week I sit down with Jennifer Roscoe and Shrishti Vaish, two of the key organizers behind Outlier 2026, the annual data visualization conference hosted by the Data Visualization Society. We talked about what it takes to pull off a fully virtual, global conference, and why going virtual this year was a strategic choice, not a compromise. Jennifer and Shrishti walked me through the conference dates (June 23–26), the brand-new pre-conference data challenge in partnership with the United Nations, and the exciting new feedback and career clinic designed to give attendees a safe space for honest critique and professional growth. We also get into the behind-the-scenes logistics: the 30-person volunteer committee, the technology stack (mostly Google Sheets, if you were wondering), and the delicate art of playing Tetris with 34 talks across a 12-hour global schedule. Whether you're a first-time attendee or a longtime DVS community member, this episode is your guide to making the most of Outlier 2026.Keywords: data visualization, data viz, Outlier conference, Data Visualization Society, DVS, data viz conference, Jennifer Roscoe, Shrishti Vaish, virtual conference, data storytelling, dataviz community, conference planning, career clinic, information is beautiful, data challenge, United Nations data, PolicyViz podcastSubscribe to the PolicyViz Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Check out the 2026 Outlier Conference.Follow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, Twitter, Website, YouTubeEmail: jon@policyviz.com

In this episode, Barbara discusses:  Why most business owners are using AI the wrong way — and how to shift from “tool usage” to AI-powered systems.  How Ronnie automated repetitive admin work and saved 10–15 hours every week.  Why identifying your biggest business pain point is the best place to start with AI.    Key Takeaways:  “AI should not replace the human connection in your practice — it should remove the repetitive work so doctors can spend more time building trust, relationships, and better patient care.” — Dr. Barbara Hales Connect with Barbara Hales:   Twitter: @DrBarbaraHales Facebook: facebook.com/theMedicalStrategist Business Website: TheMedicalStrategist.com Email: info@TheMedicalStrategist.com  YouTube:@barbarahales LinkedIn: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/barbarahalesBooks: Content Copy Made Easy 14 Tactics to Triple Sales Power to the Patient: The Medical Strategist TRANSCRIPT (242) Introduction to AI for Business Owners  Dr. Barbara Hales 0:02  Hi, welcome to another episode of Marketing Tips for Doctors. I’m your host, Doctor Barbara Hales, and today we have a special guest named Ronnie Toronto. She is the founder of One Woman. A woman shows a community how to help women business owners bring AI into their work strategically, in a language that feels like theirs. Her mission: no woman should have to figure AI out alone now. This is big, because you know every day you hear about AI doing new things, and every day there’s a new type of AI, whether it’s the three different divisions of Claude or Nano Banana or one of many, many AI types, and each one you know is known to do something better than any of the others, so you know it can get really confusing, especially if you want it to help you out in, in your business, you know, AI isn’t just Chat GPT anymore. Her method starts with the pain, not the tools. She does not ask a business owner which AI to buy; she asks which task is killing her this month, today. She walks us through how she built her own AI-run business and where any solo practitioner should actually start. Welcome to the show, Ronnie.    Ronnie Toronto 1:59  Hi, welcome, and thank you for the opportunity to be here with you and share about some of my work.  How Ronnie Got Started with AI   Dr. Barbara Hales 2:10  How did you get involved in AI to begin with?  Ronnie Toronto 2:15  Um, as I think, as like everyone else, I saw AI ads and AI all around the news and the platform at Instagram and Facebook, and like I felt left behind, and because like I knew a CGPT, but I didn’t know how really to use it, and everybody say like, oh, it’s the best thing, it’s it’s helped me in my business, so I just started to explore more and more, and read, and to take process, and I like surround myself with people that use AI as a victim and not only as a tool, and and then from that moment and on I realized that I can change my entire business with AI.    Life Before and After AI Automation    Dr. Barbara Hales 3:10  Tell us, what a week in your life looked like before AI, and what it looks like now.    Ronnie Toronto 3:18  So, before AI, I was doing all of the admin tasks, and all of all of the tests, actually alone, like I did everything manually, and if it’s to spend like between 10 to 15 hours a week on on building reports for clients, and and now I can actually say that, like, AI build me the same report, the exact same system, but even better to send to clients without me needing to operate a single file, like he can do everything for me, and it’s actually same between 10 to 15 hours a week, only for one task.  The First Task, Ronnie Automated  Dr. Barbara Hales 4:09  What was the very first task you handed over to AI, and what happened? Walk us through that, I    Ronnie Toronto 4:28  What was the first task that I gave to AI to do for me, because I thought it’s like taking a lot of time and a lot of effort, and to actually uploading the same, the same numbers through Google Sheets manually all day long take me a lot of time, and so I think that was my biggest pain point, and but I didn’t, I mean to say that I didn’t automate my. Our business, because I do believe in humanity, and I do believe that we need to do some stuff in the business, because in them the client chooses me because of who I am, and not because the AI can do it, and I chose four pain points to automate it, and there are 1000 in a business.    AI Morning Brief and Email Prioritization    Dr. Barbara Hales 5:25  You get something called a morning brief in your inbox every day. Tell us what it is, who built it, and how it changed your mornings.    Ronnie Toronto 5:42  Okay. I don’t know if a lot of people in the podcast know about what is it, but you can use clothes and clothes have a clothes and you have code a cloud code, so I’m using Power right now, and I build a skill like you have your own system that you teach her how to be new, so I build my co-work to do the same thing that I’m doing manually, so every morning when I wake up, Co-op already builds for me the priorities that I have on my email, like who is the most important to answer, who I can actually ignore, and so he, he built for me this, and that I can see what is the urgent stuff in my business, what I need to answer, and I don’t need to just go through 40 or 20 or even five emails anymore. It’s just in, and when I wake up and open the computer, it’s already building for me. It’s already showing me what I need to do next in the morning, without me having to start reading and exploring what was happening when I closed the computer last night.    Building an AI Stack Beyond ChatGPT    Dr. Barbara Hales 7:01  Most people think AI just means ChatGPT. What is actually in your AI stack, and what does each tool do for you?    Ronnie Toronto 7:16  And so I was starting to say that what I’m using isn’t a tool, and it’s not that I’m trying, like, to sell another product, but when you’re using AI at JGPT, you’re using one tool, like you pay $30 months for one tool, they do one thing, but the co-work that I’m using, the AI that I’m using right now, it’s a system that you pay, that you pay, you pay $20 but $20 a month, but you can have unlimited tool that, like, is built for you, and that you can operate with your entire business, and to reduce the amount of time that you spend on the same repetitive test, but is one tool that do every, like, it’s one tool, but inside with unlimited rule. Yeah, it’s magic. What is    Common AI Mistakes Business Owners Make    Dr. Barbara Hales 8:28  What is the biggest mistake you see business owners making with AI right now?    Ronnie Toronto 8:40  I think the biggest one is that people that business actually they are not replaced by AI but being separated by AI because again it’s easy to use JGP team to ask him the same question but in the end you need to build operation, you need to build AI that is like your team, and you need to ask yourself not how I’m using AI, it’s actually how AI helping me to replace my pain point to reduce my repetitive test, like how he’s walking without me needed to touch the computer, need to use or ask him over and over again the same question, because I’m not asking for my tool to build me report, he know the co-work, know to send an email to each client every Sunday, and every, and every month, actually, like it’s weekly, it’s daily, weekly, and monthly. He knows how to send the reports along without me needing to tell him, “Oh, you need to send reports. He knows how to open Google Sheets. How to build the same report that clients like to see and send it to the mail with the sentence that and summarize with text that the clients want and like to see. What is one    How to Avoid AI Overwhelm    Dr. Barbara Hales 10:17  What is the biggest thing that could save them from the mistakes that they’re making with AI,    Ronnie Toronto 10:30  I would say that they need to stop using it as a tool, they need to start exploring more than only chp and ask themselves what can help me to reduce the time that I’m spending or or even to eat, like I know it’s sometimes very nervous, like it’s become nervous like to just using Instagram or Facebook or LinkedIn, and see the ads popping up with AI, and then become confused where to start, what to do. So just stop anything. What is your biggest pain point? And from that point on, explore what can help you replace this pain point with a tool with AI.    The Vision Behind One Woman Show    Dr. Barbara Hales 11:26  Tell us about the one-woman show that you have. I understand that’s a community.    Ronnie Toronto 11:33  Yes, so one more show is for women in business and a movement that turns women business owner from traditional operation using AI as a tool into AI powered operate with their team running in the background, and so it’s helping business women to see there is more, and like I was attending in a lecture a few months ago, and 90 90% of the people in the room were women, and most of them knew what is AI, but none of them know how to actually use it. So I realized that there is a gap on the market, and it’s important that business women out there will become one and actually understand how to speak with AI in more in a feminine language, language in a way that we can understand how to use it, and I didn’t find it, so I realized that if I didn’t find it, maybe I can open one and help other women out there to understand a bit more about AI and how to use it correctly,    What Happens Inside the One-Woman Show Community    Dr. Barbara Hales 12:46  So what happens inside the One Moment Show,    Ronnie Toronto 12:52  And so right now, I am trying to share as much information as I can about how I automated my business, and most of it is for free. I even launch a small, a small course that actually explore how to, how to use the co-work, how to do the same thing that I did to automate, to automate like 70% of my business right now, and I’m trying to share all the time my progress, and my system, and how to use different tools out there, and what is more, what is more fit for you and for your business, and yeah, how to operate AI.    Future Plans for Coaching and Community Growth    Dr. Barbara Hales 13:39  So, will there be a coaching program in the future?    Ronnie Toronto 13:43  Oh, yes, I hope I can do a Zoom call, like once a week, so more and more women can share and explore how they use it, and I can give some tips and actually talk with business owners out there. Yeah, something that I really, really want to do    Two Practical AI Tips for Business Owners    Dr. Barbara Hales 14:09  for the listeners that we have on the show. Could you give us two helpful tips that they could implement right away?    Ronnie Toronto 14:22  and one stop using certificated and just I and yes, explore co-work and second thing is that something that I’m doing, I’m asking this every AI that I’m using, I’m asking AI to ask me questions, because as much as AI is a wonderful tool, you need the magic of humanity, and if we don’t go into ask for ChatGPT or co-work or whatever you use to ask us. To ask us questions, we are going to start thinking. I think it’s very, it’s very important for us to continue thinking and not to give the AI to do the work for us and to do it together as a team.    Using AI Chatbots for Customer Support    Dr. Barbara Hales 15:16  Do you also show people how to use and create chatbots?    Ronnie Toronto 15:22  Yeah. yes, yes, I’m doing, I yeah, I help some businesses to do it as well, and I don’t have a website to do a chat, but it’s actually very helpful to some businesses to have, because it’s reduced the amount of time that you spend on answering the same repetitive questions that you have from clients, so you just upload all of your base knowledge to there, and they, I know how to answer the client for you, so yes,    How to Join the One Woman Show Community    Dr. Barbara Hales 15:58  How can people find you if they would like to join the one-woman show, and can anybody join?    Ronnie Toronto 16:12  Everyone can join. I know that I’m speaking only for women, but I think that men also, if they need help, I would be more happy to help them, and you can find me in LinkedIn as Ronnie Toronto. And also, if you have school or you want to sign up for school, you just search One Woman Show AI, and you can find me there. Yeah,    Expanding the Community Beyond Women    Dr. Barbara Hales 16:38  okay. Well, you’ll also be able to see that in the, in the show notes, but if a guy approached you, he said, “Well, I know that you have this thing going on for women, but I’d like to learn too. So, you would accept them into the pack.    Ronnie Toronto 16:55  Yes, I might even open a new pack, a new community for everyone.    Ronnie Toronto 17:00  Yeah, I would be happy to help everyone. Yeah,    Final Advice and Closing Remarks    Dr. Barbara Hales 17:04  okay. Great. Is there any last bit of advice that you would like to say that I didn’t ask, or did we go    Ronnie Toronto 17:15  on? I think no, I think I. I hope I have explained everything clearly. Yeah,    Dr. Barbara Hales 17:24  Well, you know, listeners, if there’s something that you’re unsure of, then we are giving you the way to reach Ronnie, and you could just ask her directly.

Fliers are so much fun. Until they're not. As we approach the end of Dan's Buckets, we dig into the differences in the top tier of fliers versus those that come behind, and whether a late round predictable player is worth anything around this area of drafts, too.

Rolando never could have predicted that a college computer, a printer, and an old school wall phone in his kitchen would lead him down the path of entrepreneurship. But that's exactly how it happened. In 2002, he founded Global Tech Worldwide with the goal of making it easy for businesses to use the right office technologies for better and frictionless customer interactions that help businesses elevate their customer interactions and turn them into rich, meaningful discussions. Fast forward to today, and after spending ten years selling on Amazon, he is on his third startup circuit. Com because he was frustrated with the lack of transparency and outdated methods of buying broadband, wireless and fiber internet for small and medium sized businesses. So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Rolando.Rolando 00:00:53  Woo! Woo woo woo woo. Woo woo. Let me try. Let me try.Josh 00:00:56  Hey, there you go. Hey.Rolando 00:00:57  There we go.Josh 00:00:58  You got the audio work?Rolando 00:00:59  I got it, I got it I got him to work.Josh 00:01:02  Rolando has his own podcast and we recorded an episode last week I was on, I was in the reverse side. I was the guest there. And that I told you, Rolando, I love the sound effects that you have going on in your podcast.Rolando 00:01:15  You know what? I'm here. You know what? Go get a stream deck, go get it and call me, and I'll help you set it up. Because it took me a while. I left it in the box for quite some time before I actually started using it, because I was a little intimidated. I'm not an Avi guy or anything like that, but, you know, I was like, all right, let me add one, two, three. And I was like, ooh. And now I've got a couple of those buttons set up for it.Josh 00:01:38  I love it, I love it. All right, Rolando, there's another really wicked smart strategy that I want you to share with our audience that you shared with me prior to hitting the record button.Josh 00:01:48  And this is your amazing PPC strategy that I have never heard anybody else talk about this other than yourself. everybody's always heard of de parting, right? And that's kind of the new hot PPC term, but this isn't Dave Harding. This is something, I think, even more intelligent than what De parting is. So I've laid out the red carpet for you there, Rolando. Give us the gold nugget.Rolando 00:02:13  Yeah, right. So de parting is just simply ad scheduling. You know, run an ad on a schedule. Nothing new there. But what if. Chad. Chad, I was just talking to Chad. What if Josh. We could map or have ads show up when we have our ideal customers on Amazon? How can we do that? Can we pull it off? And can we save money while we're doing that? That's really what we wanted to find out. Turns out there is a way to do it. Not easy, not clean. But there was. So we went and pulled data from our orders for 12 months, and we used, Seller Labs product that they have or service that's called Data Hub.Rolando 00:02:59  and it pulled in all that data, right? It's our own data. So we didn't have to do all these crazy reports from Amazon. Pulled it all in. Once they pulled that in I said, wait a minute, guys. I'm not a mathematician here. This is just a spreadsheet with a bunch of numbers. Can we do something better? So then we put together something that anybody could easily use in the organization. We put together a heat map so that you can visually see the data. And, you know, dark green means good, red is bad. And guess what? We found golden hours every day of the week. Also golden months also patterns within those months. For example summertime for our products which are mostly office related products. After 4 p.m. on a Friday, we've virtually had no orders on the summer months. So if I'm a betting man, Why would I run PPC after 4 p.m. if we're not getting any orders? Another one was when? on the weekends, you hear people say this all the time.Rolando 00:04:12  And now that I have the data for our stuff, I know it's totally wrong. You got to run ads on Saturday and Sunday because people browse Saturday and Sunday and buy on Monday. The evidence does not hold that up in our case, because in our case, most of our activity, nearly 85 to 90% of the purchases c...

The Mavericks have Kyrie Irving coming back from injury and a ridiculous young stud named Cooper Flagg? Are they bad enough to be a sit risk? Will lotto ball changes make this all a moot point?

May 13, 2026 There's a missing piece in most farm marketing funnels, and it lives after the sale. If your customers feel overwhelmed, unsure what to do, or like they're "failing" with your product… they don't come back. In this episode, I'm breaking down the concept of a Success Path -- the intentional roadmap you build to guide your customer from confusion → confidence → transformation. When you build this well, you don't just create repeat buyers… you create loyal fans who trust you, stick with you, and tell others. What You'll Learn: What a Success Path actually is (and why it's the most overlooked part of your funnel) The key elements every success path needs: Why teaching matters (and the kinds of skills your customers need to succeed) How to think like a guide: building frameworks, processes, and "curriculum" for your customers The power of normalizing roadblocks—and how it keeps people from quitting Why community and belonging are retention superpowers Once you see the path, you can start building resources around it: Simple how-to videos (YouTube, social, website) PDFs, checklists, and quick-start guides Recipes, tutorials, and tool lists A "home base" (Google Doc, Google Sheet, or webpage) to organize everything Evergreen content you can reuse year after year Over time, this evolves into a repeatable system that moves customers from the point of first purchase through all the items in your product ladder (and creates super fans). This episode will show you how to get started with this key element in your sales process. It's SO GOOD! Helpful Links & Resources
