In the sixth installment of the "Becoming the Protégé" series on Power Producers Shop Talk, host David Carothers speaks with contestant Jacob Brawner of Brawner Insurance, based in Iowa and serving the Midwest. Jacob shares his unconventional path from being a teacher to joining his family's agency, originally focused on crop insurance. The conversation highlights Jacob's educational background as a key asset in his sales process, allowing him to patiently teach clients rather than just sell to them. They also discuss the importance of detaching from the outcome, the value of building a consistent pipeline, and how Jacob plans to leverage the mentorship and networking opportunities within The Protégé to accelerate his agency's growth. Key Highlights: From the Classroom to Commercial Insurance Jacob Brawner explains his transition from teaching to insurance, driven by a desire to continue his father's legacy after his brother purchased the agency. He discusses the steep learning curve of moving from a specialized crop insurance focus to a broader commercial portfolio and how his teaching background gives him a unique advantage in educating clients. Sales as an Educational Process David and Jacob dive into the philosophy that sales is actually education. They agree that taking the time to explain the "why" behind coverages, renewal processes, and loss runs builds trust and leads clients to ask the right questions, ultimately making the sale a natural conclusion rather than a high-pressure pitch. Detaching from the Outcome & Pipeline Strategy The conversation emphasizes the power of detaching from the outcome. David shares his mindset that he enters every meeting already in the "worst-case scenario" (not having the account), so there is only upside. They discuss the critical need for a robust pipeline to remove the desperation from sales, allowing producers to walk away from bad fits and focus on long-term relationships. The Power of Mentorship and Networking Jacob expresses his excitement for the mentorship aspect of The Protégé, noting that the Friday mentor calls alone are "priceless." He shares how the competition has already accelerated his growth and connected him with industry leaders, reinforcing David's point that the real victory lies in the process and the network built, not just the final prize. Identifying the Competition in Protege When asked who he sees as his stiffest competition, Jacob points to Aaron from the Carlyle Agency, citing their reputation as a "big deal" in the region. David offers his own take, noting that while Jacob, Joe, and Sam had the top video submissions, past seasons have shown that grit and execution often outweigh production value.

Hans and Brian break down the four-stage framework for infinite banking mastery, drawn from Factum Financial's work observing how practitioners actually use their policies over time.Most people who buy a whole life policy think they're "doing infinite banking." They're not. They're at Stage One—and most never make it past Stage Three. This episode walks through the progression from Saver to Wealth Builder to Business Banker to Infinite Banker, and explains why defining success is the only way to stop chasing "more" forever.The conventional approach to money says sacrifice now, maybe live on rice and beans, and hope for abundance at 65. The infinite banking model allows you to live in abundance now while building exponentially greater wealth for future generations—but only if you understand what stage you're in and where you're actually going.Chapters: 00:00 - Opening segment03:40 - Why most life insurance is just a drawer document04:50 - Stage One: The Saver (financial education, awareness, saving strategy)06:30 - Why getting the policy doesn't make you proficient08:00 - Stage Two: The Wealth Builder (adding debt strategy and investing strategy)11:15 - Understanding policy loan mechanics and efficient cash flow capture12:00 - Multiple uses of your dollar: saving and debt repayment simultaneously12:35 - Stage Three: The Business Banker (comprehensive integration)14:00 - Raising deductibles and optimizing cash flow across all insurance16:05 - Asset protection and trust structures17:35 - The synergistic effect when investing strategies tie back into the system18:00 - Stage Four: The Infinite Banker (maximum control and financial freedom)18:25 - Jason Lowe's family with 77 policies financing nothing through banks20:05 - The five areas of life: spiritual, personal, family, financial, occupation22:35 - Hans's financial goals: zero budget on health/longevity and slow travel24:30 - Why you need to get comfortable with material goals26:00 - Finance as the area that spreads across everything else27:35 - Even a simple quiet life requires getting financial loose ends tied up29:10 - Leaving disorder vs leaving a legacy31:30 - Identifying which stage you're in and continuously optimizing32:25 - Recap of the four stages32:35 - Contrasting with the conventional "no control" financial planning model34:40 - Closing thoughts Key Takeaways:Stage One - The Saver: Getting the policy in place with financial education, awareness, and a saving strategy. Understanding why you have a term rider, what your MEC limit is, and the basic structure. Many clients can't fully explain these elements a year after purchase—that's normal, but it means you're still at Stage One.Stage Two - The Wealth Builder: Adding debt strategy and investing strategy on top of the whole life chassis. Using policy loans efficiently, understanding being your own banker, and making your dollars work in multiple places simultaneously. Most Remnant Finance clients are here.Stage Three - The Business Banker: Treating family cash flow like a business. Comprehensive integration of cash flow management, optimized insurance strategies (raising deductibles to maximize inflows), asset protection, and trust structures. The synergistic effect where investments flow back into the entire system.Stage Four - The Infinite Banker: True financial freedom with maximum control over your entire financial life. Multi-generational legacy where the next generation understands and participates.

This week on Slappin' Glass, we're joined by data scientist and creator of the rapidly growing college basketball analytics platform EvanMiya.com, Evan Miyakawa. Evan's work has become a trusted resource for coaches at every level—particularly those looking to cut through the noise of early-season statistics and understand which metrics actually matter.In this conversation, Evan shares how coaches can separate interesting numbers from useful ones, why certain teams have unique statistical fingerprints that predict success, and how lineup data can be leveraged far more effectively than most programs currently use it. We also unpack defensive priority stats (threes, rim, free throws), halftime box score interpretation, and the origins of Evan's “kill shot” metric—his way of measuring and predicting momentum swings across a season.Whether you're analytics-comfortable or analytically curious, Evan offers a clear, practical roadmap for applying data without drowning in it. What You'll Learn1. How to Separate Useful Analytics from Interesting NoiseEvan explains why the highest-value decisions come from combining your coaching intuition with clean, adjusted data—not relying fully on either side. He details how to weigh early-season sample sizes, refine priors, and avoid overreacting to statistical outliers. 2. Identifying the 2–3 Metrics That Predict Your Team's SuccessTeams often win and lose in repeatable ways. Evan breaks down how programs can identify their own “keys to victory,” giving coaches clarity on what to prioritize in practice, scouting, and game planning. 3. Making Better Lineup Decisions (and Avoiding the Small-Sample Trap)Learn why 30 possessions can reveal a spark worth exploring, why 100+ possessions create real confidence, and how lineup data—properly adjusted for opponent strength—helps avoid misleading results. 4. How to Read a Halftime Box Score with Meaningful PurposeEvan shows which stat pairings matter most and how to judge whether a discrepancy is signaling a real problem or simply reflecting tempo and game context. 5. Prioritizing Defensive Outcomes: Threes, Rim, Free ThrowsA clear breakdown of how these three areas interact, and why understanding your opponent's tendencies can simplify what your defense should take away. 6. The “Kill Shot”: Understanding and Predicting Momentum RunsEvan's 10–0 run metric reveals why preventing opponent runs is more predictive of elite performance than generating them—and why the duration of a run often tells the real story.7. Coaching the Moments Around RunsFrom smart timeout usage to identifying schematic breakdowns, you'll learn how to stop a slide early or create momentum without burning resources unnecessarily.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 60 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

93% of us are walking around with an invisible energetic wall surrounding our hearts, and it's the hidden reason why joy feels distant, love feels hard, and depression lingers no matter what we try.

Ever opened a pump lid and watched the pool start emptying onto the pad? We've been there, and today we map out the simple field habits that stop the flood, speed up service, and keep clients happy. From spotting below-waterline equipment to shutting down both sides of the system, we share practical, low-cost tricks that save a service day—think tennis balls in skimmers, expanding chamois in return stubs, and a checklist that prevents air leaks and lost prime.We also dig into cleaner selection with real-world guidance that cuts through confusion. On plaster and pebble, geared suction units like the Hayward PoolCleaner or Polaris Atlas/Max deliver reliable coverage, with wide-body options gliding over tall anti-vortex main drains. On vinyl and fiberglass, bouncing diaphragm cleaners shine, climbing walls and handling slopes where geared units often stall. If pressure is your plan, know the plumbing: most Polaris pressure models require a dedicated booster pump; the Polaris 360 is the rare return-side exception that runs without one when returns are set up correctly.To round it out, we clarify the heat pump vs gas heater puzzle. A heat pump needs a dedicated 220–230V electrical circuit and real amperage headroom; a gas heater needs a properly sized gas line and, often, an upgraded meter from the utility. Retrofitting either after a build adds cost and complexity, so we lay out what to check before promising a swap. The goal: fewer surprises at the pad, better system performance, and faster visits that impress clients.• Identifying equipment set below the waterline• Shutting both suction and return before opening lids• Using tennis balls and chamois rags to stop flow• Managing dual skimmers for vacuuming and cleaners• Choosing cleaners for plaster, pebble, vinyl and fiberglass• Navigating anti-vortex main drains with wide-body units• Understanding pressure cleaners and booster pumps• Differentiating heat pumps and gas heaters requirements• Estimating real costs for electrical and gas line runs• VerifyinSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In this conversation, Dwayne sits down with entrepreneur and creator Scott Clary, host of the Success Story Podcast with 30M+ downloads. Scott opens up about his unlikely path from a government-family upbringing to becoming a media-first entrepreneur, the early exposure that ignited his drive, and why curiosity and tenacity can outperform almost anything. Scott walks through how small companies create the best “entrepreneurial classrooms,” why every creator should think like a founder, and how success hinges on defining your personal North Star before you start sprinting. The episode dives deep into AI disruption, content strategy, internal vs. external locus of control, personal branding, and how businesses of every size can prepare for the next wave of transformation. Scott offers tactical clarity on building a media-first business, testing content efficiently, disrupting yourself before the market does, and why attention—sustained over time—is the most valuable commercial asset any entrepreneur can build. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS03:53 - Scott's telecom background 08:22 - How working at a small company provides exposure to all aspects of business 14:27 - The importance of curiosity as a foundational entrepreneurial skill 17:25 - Warning: Be careful what you pursue - success requires understanding your true goals 23:25 - Finding your North Star: Be rigid in goals but flexible in execution 28:10 - Identifying what energizes you through trial and error 32:33 - Building a business while working full-time: The side hustle strategy 38:15 - How AI is disrupting businesses and the need for constant self-disruption 43:15 - The four types of leverage: Capital, technology, people, and media 51:00 - The power of AI to make individuals 10-100x more productive 01:06:30 - Internal vs external locus of control and taking ownership 01:13:30 - Content creation strategy: Testing ideas at scale on forgiving platforms 01:27:26 - How media and AI are already transforming traditional industries like restaurants KEY TAKEAWAYS Define your North Star before you start running Many people pursue success without clarity on what they actually want — a lifestyle business, a scalable company, privacy, or fame. If you have tenacity and skill, you'll eventually succeed… so make sure you're climbing the right mountain. Curiosity is the foundation of career acceleration Scott attributes almost everything in his career to relentless curiosity — the willingness to ask questions, learn widely, and self-educate. AI won't replace people but people who use AI will replace people who don't The companies thriving in this era are disrupting themselves before someone else does. Every role can be up-leveled 10x–100x with the right tools and mindset. Media is the ultimate leverage Capital, technology, people… and media. If you don't build a personal or company brand, someone in your industry eventually will — and they will take market share. Content is business R&D Social content is the best testing ground for messaging. Use it to refine your voice, validate ideas, influence sales scripts, and improve marketing before spending ad dollars. Attention over time creates trust The companies, creators, and leaders who show up consistently earn trust — which compounds into opportunity. Internal locus of control is a...

If helping aging parents plan their next chapter feels overwhelming, you're not alone. Hilary Walker, founder and CEO of Atlanta Seniors Real Estate, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss practical strategies for guiding older adults and their families through transitions into age-appropriate housing. Five Years Early, Not Five Minutes Too Late Walker emphasizes the importance of early planning. A crisis, such as a fall, hospitalization or cognitive decline, makes transitions significantly harder. She encourages older adults to proactively outline their wishes, designate key decision-makers and ensure vital documents, including powers of attorney, wills and beneficiary information, are in place. Families should also discuss expectations long before a move becomes imminent. Older adults are more likely to maintain control over their choices when these conversations happen early and gradually. Walker said, “It's better to gather your information five years early rather than be five minutes too late.” Recognizing When It's Time to Talk How do you know when it's time for a family meeting? Here are some common signs that indicate it may be time to start discussing a move: Frequent falls or near falls Difficulty using stairs or navigating the home Memory lapses or increasing forgetfulness Social isolation Limited use of large portions of the home Isolation, Walker notes, can significantly accelerate decline. Identifying concerns early allows families to access resources and create a thoughtful, measured plan rather than react under pressure. Emotional Roadblocks: Stuff, Sentiment & the Family Home Older adults often feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of belongings accumulated over decades. Instead of focusing on “how much,” families can take a step back to consider what “truly matters for the next season of life.” Touring potential new homes with aging parents can help them visualize what will realistically fit. Walker said, “The biggest roadblock is often the ‘stuff,’ and once we’re able to get around that mindset, you can keep what’s most important to you.” Emotional attachment is just as powerful. Whether it's the yard, garden beds, longtime neighbors or a home full of memories, older adults often struggle with the idea of letting go. Adult children can also unconsciously add pressure. Walker frequently advises children to accept items their parents offer—even if they don't plan to keep them—as it validates the parent's process of release and builds forward momentum. “In your mother or father's mind, they are just trying to start the process,” Walker said. “It's an emotional roadblock that you can help with by simply accepting it.” Moving Forward with Atlanta Seniors Real Estate The Atlanta Seniors Real Estate consultative approach begins with an in-home meeting and walk-through of the property. Walker uses this time to observe lifestyle patterns, understand the aging parent's goals and identify the actual decision-makers in the family. From there, a personalized action plan is created, covering everything from downsizing support to timelines, necessary resources and steps toward listing and selling the home. She partners with vetted, senior-focused service providers who handle the packing and moving logistics. While some transitions take as little as three months, others may unfold over a year or longer. Patience and ongoing communication are often the keys to success. Tune into the full episode to learn more tips for moving older loved ones into age-appropriate housing.

Something isn't adding up in most gyms because the real problem isn't the lack of leads. It's what happens after someone walks through the door. Revenue stalls. Growth flatlines. And owners think the answer is to “just run ads.”But what if the biggest leak is coming from the inside?Welcome to the Gym Marketing Made Simple Podcast, the place where real strategies replace guesswork. Blake Ruff and the team break down what actually moves the needle for boutique gyms trying to grow consistently and predictably.Episode HighlightsThis episode breaks down why so many gyms hit a revenue ceiling long before running paid marketing. Blake explains how churn, slow sales systems, and inconsistent follow-up stall growth—no matter how many leads come in.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a business owner looking for tips on improving email marketing? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews email marketing expert Jay Schwedelson, founder of SubjectLine.com, to discuss data-driven strategies for boosting email engagement. Jay shares actionable tips on crafting attention-grabbing subject lines, debunks common myths about spam filters, and highlights the importance of growing a targeted email database. Jay provides some tips for creating interesting subject lines for emails. One thing to consider is using white space. This includes having a subject line and then a pre header. A pre header is a second subject line and is usually in grey text. With this tactic, many people are intrigued because there is so much open space that they wonder what the email is about. For Jay, this saw open rates increase by 25%.Jay and Tyson chat about the key metrics for email marketing. One metric is to understand your target audience through developing an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). This is creating a description for the ideal customer who will benefit from your business. Identifying your ICP will help a business tailor their marketing. Another metric is focusing on the database and how to grow it. This can include hiring the right people to work on improving your database and knowing what to add to it and remove from it.Listen to learn more!4:52 Why Email Still Dominates in the Age of AI6:27 The Value of Unsubscribes10:29 Emotion vs. Logic in Subject Lines & CTAs12:30 Vanity Metrics: The Truth About Open Rates18:43 The Power of White Space in the Inbox23:12 The Most Important Metric for 2026: Database Growth24:30 Email Frequency & Relevancy for Lawyers 27:18 The Future of Email: ChatGPT Atlas Browser29:21 Closing Plugs & Contact InformationTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Jay:SubjectLine Website GuruConference WebsiteInstagramLinkedin

Girlfriend, if you want freedom from your eating disorder in the new year, you can't keep identifying AS the eating disorder. In this powerful new episode, host Lindsey Nichol gets vulnerable about being defined by labels - the number on the clothing tag, the OSFED diagnosis that made her feel "not sick enough," then the anorexia diagnosis that felt like she'd "earned" being officially sick. She shares the moment she realized the energy it took to be everyone's label was debilitating - and how everything changed when she stopped identifying as disordered and started living from her TRUE identity. Here's the truth: If you are defined by your labels, you're also confined by your labels. And no label - no matter how authoritative, no diagnosis, no number, no title - can contain the full perspective and constellation of who you might become. You are NOT your eating disorder. You are NOT your diagnosis. You are NOT the number on the tag. You are a saint. An heir. A daughter of the Most High. Royalty. This episode will shift how you see yourself and give you a tangible exercise to discover your true identity as we head into a new year. What You'll Learn: The Label Trap Arianna Huffington's truth: No label can contain who you might become How the ED voice defines you by WHAT you have/do, never WHO you are Why being defined by labels means you're also confused by them Lindsey's Vulnerable Label Story Obsessed with the number on clothing tags OSFED diagnosis: feeling "not sick enough" Anorexia diagnosis: feeling "officially sick" The shift: When being someone else's label became debilitating Realizing she wasn't designed to be a label - she was designed to be HER The Labels Keeping You Stuck "Anorexic," "bulimic," "the girl with the eating disorder" "The fit one," "the vegan," "the one on a diet" "Perfectionist," "people pleaser," "the sick one" Even "recovered" can become a trap Research: 80% of New Year's resolutions fail because they're rooted in outcomes, not identity Who God Says You REALLY Are Fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) Chosen - royal priesthood, holy nation (1 Peter 2:9) Deeply loved - nothing can separate you (Romans 8:38-39) A new creation - old is gone, new is here (2 Corinthians 5:17) An heir - daughter of the King, royalty (Galatians 4:7) The New Year Identity Shift Most resolutions fail because they're about WHAT you want to do Identity-based change is more powerful than outcome-based goals You can't identify as "the girl with the eating disorder" and expect to live free When you change your identity, your behavior follows Stop identifying as disordered, start identifying as WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE Your Tangible Exercise: Step 1: Write down FALSE labels you've been carrying (Anorexic, bulimic, the number on the tag, not good enough, the sick one, etc.) Step 2: Cross them ALL out (These are NOT your identity - they're lies that cannot contain who you might become) Step 3: Write down WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE I am fearfully and wonderfully made I am chosen I am deeply loved I am a new creation I am an heir I am a daughter of the Most High I am royalty I am a saint I am NOT my eating disorder I am created for freedom Step 4: Read these truths OUT LOUD (Let your ears hear what God says about you) Step 5: Live from THIS identity (Not from labels, not from diagnosis, not from what people call you) Key Takeaways: ✨ If you're defined by your labels, you're also confused by your labels ✨ No label can contain who you might become ✨ The ED voice tells you WHAT you have/do, never WHO you are ✨ You are NOT: your eating disorder, your diagnosis, your size, your past ✨ You ARE: a saint, an heir, a daughter of the Most High, royalty ✨ 80% of New Year's resolutions fail - identity-based change is what works ✨ Stop identifying as disordered, start identifying as who God says you are ✨ When you change your identity, your behavior follows Powerful Quotes: "No label, no matter how authoritative - one given to you by a doctor or a boss - no title, no dollar sign can ever contain the full perspective and constellation of who you might become." - Arianna Huffington "If you are defined by your labels, you're also confused by your labels" "The eating disorder voice loved defining me by WHAT I had and WHAT I did. But it never told me WHO I was" "The energy it took to remain someone else's label was absolutely debilitating" "I wasn't designed to be a label. I was designed to be ME" "You weren't designed to be 'anorexic.' You were designed to be a daughter of the Most High" "If you keep identifying as 'the girl with the eating disorder,' you will keep living like the girl with the eating disorder" "You are NOT your eating disorder. You are a saint, an heir, a daughter of the Most High, royalty" "When you're rooted in THAT identity - when that becomes your foundation - everything changes" "You can't keep identifying AS the eating disorder and expect to live free" "No label can contain the full perspective and constellation of who you might become" Ready to Get Support for the New Year Ahead?

In this special episode of MakingChips, we broadcast from the EBITDA Growth Systems Double Your Value Planning Event—a gathering designed to pull shop owners out of the day-to-day grind and force intentional thinking about long-term growth. This year's event was hosted at the Sandvik Coromant facility in Mebane, North Carolina, creating a perfect backdrop for conversations about planning, strategy, and culture. Paul is joined by three key voices who bring decades of hard-earned manufacturing wisdom: Jim Carr, a founding voice of MakingChips; Zach Overton, who is deep in the trenches of leading a multi-generation shop through transition and growth; and David Capkovitz, co-founder of EBITDA Growth Systems, whose strategic coaching framework is the backbone of this entire event. They pull back the curtain on why the event exists, how planning actually becomes actionable, and how shops can double their value in three years. Together, they dive into the realities every manufacturer faces—financial blind spots, operational challenges, cultural shifts, succession dilemmas, and the emotional weight of leadership. David's perspective as a coach blends seamlessly with Jim and Zach's lived experiences, creating a conversation that's equal parts strategic and deeply human. This episode highlights why stepping away from the shop floor is often the missing link for achieving the next level of growth. Whether you're planning for 2026, building resilience for a generational handoff, or simply trying to stop fighting fires, the insights shared here offer a clear direction forward. And yes—there's also a Cheerwine Old Fashioned or two. If you're ready to plan your next chapter with more clarity and confidence, this episode gives you the mindset and the roadmap to get started.

Think big city rentals are too expensive or impossible to cash flow? Think again. Co-living is quietly changing the game for real estate investors, letting them maximize income from homes that might otherwise sit empty. In this episode, we break down the strategy that takes a standard single-family home earning $1,600/month and turns it into $4,700/month through smart layout changes, proper tenant screening, and strategic management. You'll hear about the challenges, wins, and real-world tips that make this approach both practical and profitable - even for investors who thought the big city market was out of reach. Whether you're looking for ways to increase cash flow, create affordable housing, or just rethink your rental strategy, this episode is packed with insights and behind-the-scenes details you won't find anywhere else.

Struggling with low profitability? Here's the truth most business owners don't want to hear: it's rarely about selling more. It's about tightening operations, focusing on the right clients, and removing the stress that drains your team and your bottom line. Not every customer is a good fit - and that's okay. When you intentionally serve your most profitable and appreciative clients, your culture shifts from burnout and resentment to excellence and energy. Choose wisely whom you serve. In my latest episode of A Better HR Business, I sit down with Ben Hansen, CEO and Founder of Profit Doctor, to talk about how HR-related companies - and the entrepreneurs leading them - can double their profitability, regain control, and build the kind of business they originally dreamed of running. Ben knows the journey firsthand. He built an 8-figure consulting firm with 100 team members in just eight years, earning a spot on the Inc. Magazine fastest-growing companies list five years in a row. Today, he helps companies in the $5–50M range build healthier, stronger businesses. In this episode, Ben talks about: Why Not Every Client Is Worth Keeping: Some clients drain more than they contribute. Identifying and exiting these “profit killers” frees up resources for higher-value relationships. Growth ≠ Profitability: More sales don't automatically mean more profit. Sometimes the biggest gains come from tightening processes and prioritizing profitability - even for just a few focused months. Listen to Your Frontline Teams: Your staff often knows which clients, products, or workflows are hurting the business. When you involve them, you gain insights and boost engagement. If you're ready to reclaim the dream of entrepreneurship, it's time to optimize - not just grow for growth's sake.

Returning guest Vincent Bruzzese — trader, former statistics professor, poker player, and former Hollywood behavioral analyst — joins Tessa for a candid discussion about navigating one of the most narrative-driven markets in years. Known online as “Hari Seldon” in the Real Day Trading community, Vincent is recognized for posting his trades live and delivering multiple years of standout performance, with returns north of 60% and even 80%.  In this episode, Vincent talks about why traders are struggling with discipline, how sentiment and storylines are overpowering both fundamentals and technicals, and what separates structured trading from gambling. He also shares how tools like his walkaway analysis help reinforce better habits and improve decision-making. Tessa and Vincent dig into mindset, process, relative strength, risk management, and how he rebuilt after blowing up his account twice. They also explore the emotional side of trading in a market that often feels disconnected from reality — and how traders can stay grounded despite the chaos.   Links +Resources:  ●      Follow Vincent on Reddit:  ⁠https://www.reddit.com/r/RealDayTrading/⁠ ●      Follow Vincent on X:  ⁠@RealDayTrading⁠ ●      Vincent on CWT ⁠Episode 255⁠ ●      Vincent can also be found in the OneOption Chat Rooms Sponsor of Chat With Traders Podcast:   ●       Trade The Pool:  ⁠http://www.tradethepool.com⁠    Time Stamps: Please note: Exact times will vary depending on current ads.   ●     00:00:00  Intro and Background ●     00:07:13  Market Analysis and Trading Strategies ●     00:09:00  Trading Mindset and Emotional Challenges ●     00:11:07  Market Trends and Skepticism ●     00:13:08  Market Irrationality and Future Predictions ●     00:14:41  Valuation Concerns and Institutional Influence ●    00:15:19  Psychological Aspects of Trading ●    00:16:30  Narratives and Market Bubbles ●    00:18:00  Passive Income Strategies in Trading ●    00:21:57  Long-term Investment Strategies ●    00:21:25  Personal Trading Experiences ●    00:24:08  Learning from Trading Losses ●    00:25:12  The Journey to Becoming a Trader ●    00:25:58  Mindset and Trading Psychology ●    00:30:45  Identifying and Avoiding Bad Trades ●    00:32:58  Overcoming Trading Challenges ●    00:37:48  Trading Strategies and Market Analysis ●    00:40:52  Current Market Conditions and Trading Decisions ●    00:43:20  Portfolio Management and Trading Style ●    00:46:39  Trading Preparation and Daily Routine ●    01:01:25  Navigating Market Volatility and Uncertainty ●    01:05:41  Final Thoughts on Trading and Market Dynamics   Trading Disclaimer:  Trading in the financial markets involves a risk of loss.

Nasty texts from Housewives and strange behavior from one irrelevant RHOM are exposed. Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke's houses are broken into as a result of the 3 day extravaganza and oh so very much more with very special guest, Vanessa Reiser, or as you like to call her, Luis Ruelas' ex.
