Picture this. You're standing in the middle of untouched Montana wilderness, no cell service, no notifications, just you, a group of high level entrepreneurs, and whatever idea decides to show up in the silence. That's exactly where this conversation happened, and honestly, it's one of the reasons it hits different. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I hike and pod during the Montana Mastermind with Logan Forsyth, co-founder and co-CEO of mediascaling.com, an eight figure content firm that works with founder led brands and high ticket businesses across the country. His team has generated over 10 billion views and 24 million followers for clients, with nine social media awards and third party verified stats to back it up. He runs a team of about 145 people, mostly remote, out of Los Angeles, and he's built his entire business around one core idea. Content isn't just marketing anymore, it's trust at scale. This episode matters because we're at a strange moment in business. Everyone has access to the same AI tools, the same templates, the same shortcuts. So what actually separates you from the next person doing the same thing? Logan breaks it down in a way that's simple but honestly kind of a gut check. It's not the tools you use. It's the brand and the proof you build behind them, and those two things can't be copied. We covered a lot, but here's what stood out most. Content is the new website. Logan put it plainly. People are doing full due diligence on you through your socials before they ever buy from you or book a call. If your content is underwhelming, you lose trust you never even knew you were losing, and there's no way to measure exactly how many deals walked away because of it. Brand and proof are the two assets nobody can copy. With AI, anyone can spin up an offer or an info product in twenty minutes. What they can't spin up is years of trust and a stack of real results behind your name. That's your moat now, and it's the one thing that actually compounds. Most people quit right before content starts working. Logan's seen it over and over. People track leads and sales only, don't see instant results, and walk away. Meanwhile their close rates, average order value, and retention are all quietly improving in the background because of the trust content builds. He said if you can stick with it for two to three years, most people won't, and that alone becomes your edge. Batching beats burnout every time. Trying to wake up and record a video every single day is a fast track to quitting. Logan's team researches, scripts, and batches thirty videos in about two hours of filming, then hands it off to editors. Structure isn't the boring part, it's actually what makes consistency possible. AI written scripts sound like everyone else's AI written scripts. Logan's team reviews thousands of sample scripts during hiring, and he said almost all of them read the same because everyone's feeding AI the same prompts. His advice was clear. Use AI to compete, but don't expect it to set you apart, because everyone already has it. We also got into why digital detoxes matter even for someone running a massive social media agency, how community and mastermind trips shake loose ideas you'd never find working alone, and Logan's own rapid fire answers on everything from his biggest regret to the advice he'd give his eighteen year old self. There's something grounding about hearing a guy who lives in the content world talk about how much clarity he finds by putting his phone away completely. It's a good reminder that the tools are supposed to serve the life, not the other way around. When I asked Logan for any final words for the happy hustlers listening, he didn't talk business at all. He talked about finding a wife who makes him better instead of someone he has to pull up alone, finding faith, building a family, and wanting to support not just his own people but thousands of others through what he builds. That's the whole episode in one answer honestly. If you're ready to rethink how you're showing up online, and you want the real strategy behind building trust that actually turns into revenue, go listen to the full episode at https://happyhustle.com/podcast.

New Hampshire has taken its toll on our weekly mileage, but the beauty and difficulty of the trail up here is staggering in both regards.

The Loess Hills in Western Iowa were shaped by wind. It's a rare and rugged landscape that is home to some of the largest tracts of native prairie in the state. On this episode, we learn about the new Loess Hills Hiking Guide, which highlights 20 places to hike and explore. We talk with its creator Seth Brooks of Golden Hills Resource Conservation and Development and Tyler Ruge of Monona County Conservation about why these landforms are so unique and how access has improved. Jason Taylor of the Bur Oak Land Trust also joins us to talk about how prescribed burns have shaped the Loess Hills. Then, he shares some common nature misconceptions.
Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
New Hampshire has been doing New Hampshire things, like kicking my butt, giving me spectacular daily views, and providing Nuke and me with some of the best hiking of this trip so far. The Kinsman's and Franconia Ridge are now in the rear view mirror, with the Presidential Range still to come. Along the way, my exhaustion at the end of the day has limited my interviews, though I do have a friend, Mike Innes, on the show this week to share a bit of a teaser for a show about nutrition that I will air later in the year.

In this episode of the Financial Survival Network, host Kerry Lutz sits down with wealth advisor Ted Thatcher to analyze the latest macroeconomic data and its direct impact on monetary policy. With recent inflation prints showing a year-over-year CPI of 3.4% and core inflation rising slightly due to spikes in healthcare and transportation costs, the duo unpacks why the Federal Reserve is likely off the path of future rate hikes. Despite minor softening in labor market participation and public sector job shifts, Thatcher argues that strong Q2 corporate earnings and high profit margins paint an overall bullish picture for equity investors while keeping central bank expectations firmly grounded. Beyond standard market metrics, the conversation dives into unique economic indicators, geopolitical dynamics, and regional market shifts. Host Kerry Lutz introduces his tongue-in-cheek "Palm Beach Trophy Wife Index" as a gauge for high-net-worth consumer sentiment, contrasting main street trends with luxury spending and labor supply. The discussion also touches on global energy markets, US crude production economics, and undertracked geopolitical catalysts like energy infrastructure bypasses in the Middle East and the economic implications of ongoing developments in Cuba for Florida and the broader Southeast logistics corridor.

Have you ever built something you love, poured years into it, and never once stopped to ask what it's actually worth? Most business owners haven't. And that one blind spot could cost them everything they worked for. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with Michael Sauer also known as Bone, an exit planning expert who has helped guide business transactions up to a hundred and twenty million dollars. He works with business owners to figure out exactly what their company is worth today, what it could be worth years from now, and how to make it as sellable as possible before life forces the decision for them. You can find him and his work at kandemlaw.com. What makes this episode matter is the timing. Bone dropped some numbers on me that stopped me in my tracks, and I think they'll do the same for you. Only twelve to twenty percent of businesses that go up for sale actually sell. Of the ones that do sell, half go for less than the owner needed. And here's the gut punch. Only five percent of business owners are actually happy with what they walked away with after the sale. Five percent. That's not a small gap, that's a system that's broken for almost everyone going through it. Here's what stuck with me most from our conversation. Fifty percent of businesses get sold involuntarily. Health issues, family emergencies, burnout, none of us plan for these things to force our hand, but they happen. Bone's point is simple. Build your business to be sellable now, not someday, so you're never caught off guard. It takes years to sell right, not months. Most owners come to Bone wanting to sell within twelve months. He tells them straight up that's not enough time. Three years minimum, five years ideal, if you actually want top value. The number on paper isn't the number in your pocket. Broker fees, attorney fees, capital gains tax, they all take a bite. Sell for ten million without a real tax strategy and you might walk away with seven. Bone's advice is to reverse engineer the number you actually need and plan backward from there. Seventy nine percent of business owners regret selling within a year. Not sadness. Not stress. Profound regret. That statistic alone is why proactive planning matters so much more than people realize. Profit First is one of the simplest financial moves you can make. If you haven't implemented it in your business yet, Bone calls it the number one financial hack for owners. Set money aside before you spend it, not after. We also got into the fun stuff. I put Bone through my rapid fire round and got some real answers. Taco Bell is his go to food, his spirit animal is a bald eagle, and his best piece of legal advice might be the most important thing you hear in this whole episode. Hire an attorney before you need one. We also talked about family, gratitude, and what it means to build a life you're proud of, not just a business that sells well. This episode is a reminder that hustle without a plan is just motion. You can work hard for twenty years and still leave money and peace of mind on the table if you never stop to ask the right questions. Bone's whole approach is about giving business owners confidence and security, so when the moment comes to sell, they're ready instead of scrambling. If you're ready to start thinking ahead instead of playing catch up with your own business, this conversation is going to hit home. Go listen to the full episode at https://happyhustle.com/podcast.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
We're not only pushing through New Hampshire, but we've reached the spot where the rubber meets the road; namely, Mt Moosilauke, the first of the 4000-footers that we climb. It was an exhilarating climb, yet one well within my capabilities. Along the way, I chatted with Nuke, my hiking partner who I first interviewed just after Caledonia State Park, in Pennsylvania. I wanted him to give his impressions of Moosilauke and how his flip flop had gone so far. I'm using Polarsteps to record my AT thru-hike this year.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Taylor Santa, aka Hamilton, a thru-hiker who completed the Appalachian Trail in 2017 before returning to complete both the Florida Trail and Continental Divide Trail in 2024. In this one, we dive into Hamilton taking shots of pop and energy drinks every two hours on the night shift before quitting her job to hike the AT, surviving 30 miles of chest-deep swamp walking on the Florida Trail, getting bitten in the face by a fake service dog at a Chama bar, her sudden, blister-inducing allergy to Leukotape, a near-miss lightning strike that instantly killed a cluster of cows right in front of her group in Idaho, a wild night in Dubois that involved $3 VFW craft beers and charm-talking a cowboy out of his hat, and the secret to reading over 100 books in a single year. We wrap the show with a guide to dealing with wildfire smoke on trail, picking the ultimate torture song to play on repeat for your mortal enemy, a Triple Crown of cliche Instagram captions, how I used my kids to escape a ticket, and a mailbag praising the forgotten greatness of Nerds Ropes.

We're at last in New Hampshire, and the drama is ramping up, with longer, higher, and more intense climbs. From previous experience, I know that I've only done the easiest section of New Hampshire so far, but I'm ready to embrace Moosilauke by the time we meet next time. one morning, in a shelter on a rainy day, I managed to speak with a young couple out on a thru-hike, Moss Man and Chapstick, while also engaging in conversation with Neighbor and Bellows, a mother and son duo on a section hike.

PPI continued the trend CPI by signaling inflation is cooling. Charles Schwab's Kevin Gordon expects the Fed to hold interest rates in its next meeting with current data in mind. He adds that equities have opportunity to rally even in the face of a hawkish Fed, so long as other economic indicators stay strong. Jim Ferraioli doesn't expect many macro movers to impact Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for the time being. He does expect the midterm elections to serve as the next key catalyst for the space.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. Asian stocks rose as technology shares rallied and a subdued US inflation report eased concerns about an imminent interest-rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Brent crude snapped a six-day rally, while attention was also on the yen as it traded around the key level of 160 per dollar, keeping investors on the lookout for more intervention by officials in the foreign-exchange market. We speak with Mark Cranfield, Bloomberg News MLIV Strategist. Plus - caution prevailed after Cisco Systems’ earnings failed to impress, sending its shares lower in extended trading.

Liz Peek analyzes the resilience of the U.S. economy, where strong consumer spending and business optimism persist despite high oil prices and stagnant job growth. While the Fed weighs interest rate hikes to curb inflation, a "wealth effect" from a robust stock market continues to buoy higher-end consumers. Politically, a "civil war" is brewing within the Democratic Party as far-left candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) challenge the establishment in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. These ideological divisions raise significant questions regarding the electability of progressive candidates in the upcoming general elections. (3)

The latest CPI report came in largely as expected, but inflation is still running above the Fed's target and Kevin Warsh may have a difficult case to make if he wants to keep rates unchanged.Chuck Zodda and Paul Lane break down the July inflation report, why lower energy prices helped keep the headline number contained, and why core inflation may still be too elevated for the Fed to ignore. They also discuss how rising gas prices could affect the next CPI report, why markets now see a greater chance that the Fed stays put in September, and whether the economy could handle a modest rate hike. Plus, they look at CoreWeave's revenue surge, the massive financing needs behind the AI data center buildout, Super Micro Computer's latest earnings, and Todd Lutsky's guidance on last-minute Medicaid planning for nursing home costs.

Vermont has been an unexpected pleasure. I don't recall it giving me such great hiking last time, and that, along with new and old friends, has made this last state before the"Big Two" a time of pure joy.

Mark and Cindy explore Paul's powerful reminder in 1 Corinthians 2 that the gospel's effectiveness has never depended on eloquence, intellectual brilliance, or persuasive human arguments. This episode is an encouraging call to proclaim God's wisdom with confidence, trusting that transformed lives come not through impressive speakers but through the life-changing power of the gospel. When Paul came to Corinth, he intentionally resolved to center every message on Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Though he ministered with personal weakness, fear, and trembling, he relied completely on the Spirit's power rather than his own abilities so that people's faith would rest on God's power instead of human wisdom. And lastly, Mark and Cindy discuss the profound contrast between the fleeting wisdom of this world and the eternal wisdom of God—a mystery planned before the foundation of the world yet overlooked by earthly rulers, who unknowingly crucified the very Lord of glory.

Derek Moore is joined by Mike Snyder and Shane Skinner this week to talk about a jobs report the market read as bad news is good news: payrolls up just 23,000 versus 80,000 expected, the prior two months revised down by 103,000, and participation slipping to 61.4%, the lowest since February 2021, even as unemployment fell to 4.1%. Daniel Lacalle argues the Fed is already weighing on the labor market, yet overnight index swaps still price about 1.7 hikes by mid-2027 — so are hikes really off the table? Plus, the US Dollar Index breakout, why there aren't 10% pre-tax US Treasuries, and how the SpaceX share unlock could lift its Nasdaq-100 weight from roughly 1.3% to 3.1%. Nonfarm payrolls added just 23,000 jobs in July versus 80,000 expected. The prior two months were revised down by a combined 103,000 jobs. Private payrolls rose 30,000 and manufacturing added 5,000. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1%. Daniel Lacalle argues the Fed is already hurting the labor market and hikes aren't justified. Labor force participation fell to 61.4%, the lowest since February 2021 per Charlie Bilello. Average hourly earnings rose 3.2% year over year versus 3.5% expected. Overnight index swaps now price about 1.7 hikes by mid-2027 with the implied rate near 4.05%. Why is the market pricing hikes rather than cuts after a soft jobs number? J.C. Parets asks whether the US Dollar Index breakout is a big deal. What a stronger dollar means for multinationals and commodities. Eric Balchunas notes the Middle East oil shipping futures ETF is up 1,294% year to date Drewry's WCI container freight benchmark sits at 4,297.46 per 40-foot box What rising freight and shipping rates signal about goods inflation ahead.

You didn't build a team to babysit a CRM from 2014. If distributed leadership real estate feels uncomfortable right now, that discomfort is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.Most real estate leadership content sounds the same after a while, all stage lights and slide decks. These are leadership lessons from a hike, the kind you only get squeezed through a gap in the rock we called the Lemon Squeeze, standing next to a broker named Jose and the CRM he'd used for ten years and couldn't let go of.In this breakdown from our latest leadership retreat real estate trip, I walk through the exact moment that turned a hike into a leadership lesson, and the 3-part framework that came out of it. It's the same thinking I use when I'm talking about leading through change real estate teams face when growth outpaces the systems that built them, and coaching brokers on real estate coaching leadership that actually sticks.Here's what you'll walk away with:✅ The 3 lessons from the hike that translate directly into how you lead your team through growth✅ Why speed is not the flex you think it is when you're trying to figure out how to lead a real estate team through change✅ The real reason Jose couldn't leave his old CRM behind, and what it says about your own blind spots✅ A practical filter for knowing how to be a better leader in real estate without burning out your people or yourself✅ What separates a broker who's just managing from one who's actually leading through real estate broker leadership training that sticksIf you're a broker-owner or team leader who's outgrown the system that built your success but you're scared of what changing it might cost you, this one's for you. Distributed leadership real estate isn't about doing more. It's about knowing what to hand off, and when.Letting go isn't failure. It's the job.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
With record amounts of rainfall this week in Massachusetts, Nuke and I decided to wait it out during a zero day in Lee. Once we got back on trail the following day, we had to cope with swollen stream crossings that soaked us, as well as paths that became streams. During all of this I managed to fall a couple of time, of course. Along the way, I chatted with Nat Geo, Dash, and the wonderful Renée. I'm using Polarsteps to record my AT thru-hike this year.

Michael Howell joins TFTC to break down why the Fed is trapped by rising bond yields and surging nominal GDP, forcing a return to rate hikes despite market expectations. We dissect the AI capex bubble, Treasury's hidden debt monetization via bill issuance, and why global liquidity trends point to a crypto bottom by late 2026. Howell explains why Bitcoin outperforms gold as a monetary inflation hedge, how China's PBOC liquidity drives gold, and why $40 trillion national debt is just the beginning of a state-led capital war era.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
It's been another week of concern over my recent falls, but also one where I've had to manage my hike more proactively. I had a zero day in an attempt to reset and, by and large, I'm happy with how the past few days have gone. Along the way, I had a good conversation with a hiker's mother, Ann who, like all mothers, was concerned for her daughter's safety on trail. In addition, I met Cait, or Fester, who is out here in a transition time in her life, enjoying the awesome hiking community. I'm using Polarsteps to record my AT thru-hike this year. If you'd like to follow my progress between episodes, as well as photos of my journey, please go to https://www.polarsteps.com/mightyblue and click on the follow button. I used my hike in 2024 on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %.
