278. MONEY KARMA (the law of reciprocity) In this episode, I'm sharing something I've been contemplating for a long time — a concept I call Money Karma - the idea that your relationship with money is something you're meant to transmute and transform in this lifetime, not just for wealth but for a higher purpose. It grew out of conversations with my private clients, where I kept noticing that the energy and intention we bring to money shapes what comes back to us. I share the story of standing in a Grocery Outlet line, fumbling through credit cards while my baby sat in the cart, and how that moment of shame became the catalyst for my entire money journey. I talk about how cleaning up your own money karma can elevate not just your finances but your family, your community, and the world. HERE is the link to Money*Karma, starting Tuesday, September 8th. If you're interested in working together, book a call HERE. Can't wait to chat!

We talk about Grocery Outlet

Grocery Outlet is slated to close its East Portland location due to safety concerns and an alleged unwillingness to compromise on solutions. This closure leaves residents of East Portland with fewer affordable grocery options and raises questions about the safety and economic health of the neighborhood. The owner previously hinted at the possibility of closing the store, and now the decision has been finalized, impacting the community significantly. This is another example of how progressive policies are destroying our cities. We will look at this and other recent store closures, and what it means to reasonable people.

Tim Conway Jr. Hour 2 (3.11) The heat is on! And it starts tomorrow. All over Greater Los Angeles, Orange County and the inland, temps will be in the 90s, approaching 100 degrees.

But your chances of winning? Next to zero. Discount chain Grocery Outlet is closing some locations — a total of 36 stores nationwide!

Portland MC Mat Randol believes in the challenges of hip hop: to grow and evolve, to live at the edge of his comfort zone, to tell the truth, and to find the joy.

His 2026 is scheduled to be a non-stop banger of releases, collaborations, and live music. Plus, he's a great hang, as you'll hear in this episode. He stopped by to discuss the timely feedback that altered the direction of his musical approach, building the experiences that add up to an artist, and keeping his core themes fresh.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta offers guidance to schools on dealing with federal immigration officers; PG&E completes the final draft of the surrender application and decommissioning plan for the Potter Valley Project; and the planned construction of a Grocery Outlet in Fort Bragg on the moves forward.

A superior court judge in San Francisco on Monday ruled against the group Fort Bragg Local Business Matters,  upholding the coastal development permit granted by the City of Fort Bragg to Best Development Group to build and operate a Grocery Outlet in the old county social services building on North Harbor Drive and Franklin.The Mendocino Coast Parks and Recreation District has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Local Agency Formation Commission to conduct what is known as a municipal service review.

Andrew and Lindsey kick back with a budget-friendly $3.99 bottle of Pinot Grigio from Grocery Outlet. They can't help but wonder if the “wine guy” really steered Lindsey in the right direction or if it was a total flop. Their conversation flows into the idea of “power doesn't panic,” connecting it to both Survivor and the new film Conclave. Andrew shares his mild irritation with the playlists Spotify keeps pushing on him, while Lindsey excitedly raves about the new podcast Blondies: Out Loud.In the second half of their chat, they dive into some intriguing topics like the drones buzzing around New Jersey, BoxLunch's response to Dominque Brown's tragic passing at their event, and some of Trump's recent cabinet picks.

Takeaways Grocery Outlet's success is driven by their unique business model with independent operators who choose the product selection for their market, resulting in localized merchandise. The company has strong relationships with big brands, allowing them to offer customized products to customers. Alejandro Alvarez's career journey includes starting in engineering, working in consulting, and transitioning to marketing roles at Levi's, Victoria's Secret, and Banana Republic. He gained valuable international experience and faced challenges in leading teams in different languages and cultures. Product quality is essential for marketing success. Without a good product, all the marketing efforts will fall flat. A well-thought-out structure and story are crucial in marketing pitches. It's important to have a cohesive narrative that proves hypotheses and provides recommendations. Humility and a collaborative approach are key in partnerships with agencies and technology providers. Arrogance and name-dropping can be off-putting. Small brands that challenge the status quo and cater to specific niches are admirable. They bring unique products and experiences to the market.
