We cover his “one-way vs. two-way doors” decision model, why “minimum lovable product” beats perfectionism, and how to push autonomy down while keeping trust and security high.We also explore what's really slowing AI adoption (and why replacing junior employees with AI is a terrible idea), why documents beat slide decks for high-stakes calls, and the long-view energy bets—including nuclear—that AWS believes will shape innovation and sustainability.

This week on Sinica, I chat with Lizzi Lee, a fellow on the Chinese economy at the Asia Society Policy Institute and one of the sharpest China analysts working today. We dig into the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th Party Congress and what it reveals about China's evolving growth model — particularly the much-discussed but often misunderstood push against "involution" in key sectors like EVs and solar. Lizzi walks us through the structural incentives driving overcompetition, from local government finance and VAT collection to the challenges of rebalancing supply and demand. We also discuss her recent Foreign Affairs piece on China's manufacturing model, why "overcapacity" is a misleading frame, the unexpected upsides of China's industrial strategy for the global green transition, and what happened at the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan.

If you live in Minnesota, you know there are two things that keep you going through the long winters: a good pair of boots, and a great cup of coffee. For years, that coffee often came from Caribou, where Jim's guest this week, Erin Newkirk, most recently served as Chief Brand & Marketing Officer, helping guide a beloved global coffeehouse with more than 850 locations across 11 countries. Erin left Caribou coffee shortly after we recorded this show to start her own training & coaching company.Erin's story stretches far beyond coffee. Her career spans Fortune 500s, startups, coaching, and everything in between, always with the same ambition: to build brands, businesses, and breakthroughs that spark movements people can feel. She began her career at the test-prep company Kaplan, earned her MBA from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, and honed her brand chops at General Mills, shaping icons like Cheerios and Pillsbury. Then she leapt into entrepreneurship, founding Red Stamp, a mobile-first lifestyle brand that reimagined personal connection and scaled to millions before it was acquired. Today, Erin brings that same energy to her work as an advisor and board member. partnering with founders, executives, and mission-driven ventures including ModernWell, Omnia Fishing, and TurnSignl, an award-winning service providing 24/7 real-time legal assistance.Recorded in person at the Best Buy Studios in Minneapolis, here is Jim's conversation with the leader who believes in grounding herself each day—and helping others grow along the way.---This week's episode is brought to you by Best Buy Ads.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Live from Future Proof, I sat down beachside with Eden Ovadia, Co-Founder and CEO of FINNY—the AI-powered marketing platform helping advisors solve one of the biggest challenges in wealth management: organic growth.For years, the industry has relied on market returns and acquisitions to drive scale. But when the market slows, most firms discover they don't actually have a growth engine—they have a valuation problem.Eden saw that gap and built FINNY to fix it. In less than a year, she launched the company, joined Y Combinator, raised $6.5 million, and created a 15-person team that's helping advisors identify ideal prospects, automate personalized outreach, and attract new clients at scale.Eden also shares how her decision to live in her office became a powerful expression of belief in what she's building. That unwavering faith in the mission inspired her team to buy in completely—creating a culture grounded in trust, shared conviction, and the certainty that they're building something extraordinary together.3 of the biggest insights from Eden Ovadia…1.) The Industry's Organic Growth Problem Is Getting Too Big to IgnoreAdvisors have been riding market returns and acquisitions for years—but when the market dips, most firms realize their “growth” isn't really growth. Eden breaks down why the industry's obsession with M&A has masked a massive organic growth crisis—and how advisors who solve it are commanding double the valuations of their peers.2.) AI Is Revolutionizing Prospecting for AdvisorsEden's company, FINNY, gives advisors access to over 300 million data profiles and turns that data into personalized marketing automation—helping them find and convert ideal clients faster than ever before. From identifying business owners researching “exit planning” to filling dinner seminars with precision, FINNY shows what's possible when prospecting meets AI.3.) Great Leaders Build Belief Before They Build TeamsEden scaled FINNY from 0 to 15 employees in a year—but her real advantage wasn't speed, it was conviction. From living in her office to creating a culture that feels like family, she proves that people don't just join startups—they join founders who believe deeply in their vision. Her playbook for culture, hiring, and customer obsession applies to any advisor building a business that lasts.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/141FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

How many times have you created content where you assumed people understood what you were talking about, but you quickly found they were confused or had a completely wrong idea about your business?You talk about business models, ad strategies, and compensation like everyone gets it. They don't.And that's the reason your audience engages more with a simple picture of you having fun with your family than with your business posts.

We get into his 50-lb weight loss (and how tirzepatide helped reset food patterns), why 5:15 a.m. workouts + community changed everything, the art of not self-sabotaging when life is finally good, and the exact reasons his team is having its best year ever in the hardest real-estate environment he's seen.Key Highlights:- Health reset, honestly: Patrick shares how tirzepatide quieted the “addict brain” around food, why consistency - hero workouts, and how intensity + community (hello, 5:15 a.m. crew) moved the needle.- Ego off, form on: Lifting smart, scaling movements, and refusing to get injured for pride.- Men, vulnerability, and momentum: Why hearing “yeah, that was hard” from the room matters—and how small encouragements compound.- When life is good (and scary): Swapping chaos addiction for contentment, liking yourself without apology, and creating real boundaries (even if that means “let's do this tomorrow”).- Parenting with presence: Dating your kids one-on-one, letting them see the real you, and modeling a life you actually enjoy.- Business that wins right now:“Opportunity wears overalls” — this market rewards the ones who show up daily.Boomers run today's market: downsizing, moving freely, creative deals, and helping kids into homes.In-person still wins: Older clients want to meet, sign, and refer—loyalty compounds.- Best year ever in the toughest climate: hard conversations, consistent prospecting, and intentional health fueling performance.- Take up space: You're allowed to want what you want—no apology necessary.If this hit home, share the episode with a friend, drop a rating/review, and tag us with your biggest takeaway.

What if the people you idolize aren't as real as they seem? In today's straight-up, no-filter episode, Kevin and Alan expose the illusion behind fake success like botted views, viral hacks, and “polished” influencers built on smoke and mirrors. It's a brutal truth hit about why integrity still beats algorithms and how chasing vanity metrics can wreck your purpose. This one will make you question who you follow, what you believe, and why slow, honest growth always wins. Real talk. Real work. Real results. Hit play, then go build something that can't be faked.Learn more about:

Why do so many Christians want to give more—but feel like they can't?Most of us want to be generous, but there are often barriers—spiritual, financial, or even emotional—that hold us back. Today, Ron Blue joins us to unpack five key reasons why Christians don't give more, and how we can begin climbing toward greater generosity.Ron Blue is a financial teacher, author, and co-founder of Kingdom Advisors. He has helped countless Christians apply biblical wisdom to their finances and is best known for his bestselling book, Master Your Money: A Step-by-Step Plan for Financial Contentment.Five Barriers to Generosity—and How to Overcome ThemGenerosity is one of the greatest marks of spiritual maturity, yet many Christians find themselves wanting to give more but feeling unable to do so. Over the years, most believers face five primary barriers to generosity. These form a kind of “pyramid,” with each level building on the one below it. The journey toward greater giving begins with the heart and ends with intentional planning.1. Spiritual Condition: The Foundation of GenerosityBefore generosity ever shows up in our bank accounts, it begins in our hearts. When we grasp who God is, who we are, and the grace that has been extended to us, generosity naturally flows from that understanding.The more we understand God's ownership and our role as stewards, the more we want to give. Spiritual maturity is the foundation—without it, our giving will always feel like an obligation instead of an act of worship.2. Financial Health: Creating Margin to GiveEven when our hearts are in the right place, poor financial habits can make generosity difficult. Many believers simply can't give more because they're weighed down by debt, overspending, or disorganization.It often takes time—sometimes even years—to align our finances with our convictions. That might mean getting out of credit card debt, restructuring a business, or learning to live within our means. When we get our financial house in order, we create margin for generosity to flourish.3. Vision: Seeing Where God Is WorkingPeople don't give to spreadsheets or buildings—they give to vision. When we can picture the impact of our giving, we're motivated to invest more deeply.A clear vision fuels generosity. Ask yourself: Where has God stirred my heart? What Kingdom work do I feel most passionate about? When we see how our resources can change lives—whether feeding children, funding missions, or supporting local ministries—we begin to give with joy and purpose.4. Community: Encouragement from OthersGenerosity rarely happens in isolation. We need relationships that encourage us to live open-handedly. When we surround ourselves with generous people—friends who talk about giving, pray about giving, and celebrate giving—we're inspired to do the same.Scripture reminds us that we are to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). Community reminds us that generosity isn't just an individual act—it's part of how the body of Christ functions together.5. Planning: Giving with IntentionFinally, generosity grows through intentional planning. I've seen it over and over in my work as a financial planner: when people create a plan for their giving, their generosity increases dramatically—sometimes fivefold.A plan brings clarity and purpose. It helps you set a “finish line” for lifestyle and accumulation so you can redirect more toward eternal purposes. Without a plan, even well-intentioned believers often give sporadically or reactively. With one, generosity becomes a consistent and joyful part of life.Moving Toward Greater GenerosityThese five layers—spiritual condition, financial health, vision, community, and planning—build upon each other. Each represents a step toward living and giving as God intended.So, which one are you ready to work on today?The journey toward generosity isn't about guilt—it's about grace. As we align our hearts, habits, and plans with God's purposes, we discover the joy of giving that truly reflects His character.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm considering a reverse mortgage and wondering—if I were to get one—whether my creditors could come after the proceeds.How can younger people today start building wealth? What are some practical strategies to grow financially—and how can we stay positive and motivated when so many in our generation don't seem to think that way?I run a small architecture business, but my income has been inconsistent over the past few years. My financial advisor suggested I take a salaried job to help pay down debt and stabilize our family's finances. If I do that, how should I communicate with a potential employer that I'd like to keep my business on the side—and is that even wise to do?I've been researching digital currencies and the broader move toward electronic money. With more people, including political figures, showing support for it—and with lower fees and more direct transactions—what's your take on where this is heading?My husband is 65 and retired, and I'm 56 and still working. I've heard that a spouse can collect half of the other's Social Security benefit once they reach a certain age. Is that true, and how does it work?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Open Hands FinanceWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Are you struggling to retain top sales talent because your team members can't find meaning in their work? The secret isn't just about hitting revenue targets—it's about building a purpose-driven organization that attracts exceptional people and creates lasting value.      In this episode, I sit down with Enrique Alvarez, co-founder and managing director of Vector Global Logistics, to explore how purpose and profit can coexist in high-performance sales organizations. Enrique shares his unique approach to building a global sales team that operates on three core pillars, including their groundbreaking Results-Only Work Environment and complete transparency policy. From Transactional to Transformational Vector Global Logistics has cracked the code on shifting from short-term transactional relationships to long-term transformational partnerships. Enrique reveals their comprehensive hiring process, including how they identify candidates who can build authentic relationships rather than just close deals quickly. You'll discover their unconventional approach to transparency, including sharing everyone's salaries, company financials, and decision-making processes with the entire team. This radical openness creates trust and empowers sales professionals to make better decisions for both customers and the company. AI Integration with Human Connection We explore how Vector Global Logistics leverages AI tools while maintaining the human touch that drives real relationships. Enrique shares practical examples of using AI for customs entries, tracking shipments, and market analysis—all while ensuring their sales team focuses on what AI can't do: building genuine personal connections. The conversation covers the critical balance between automation and personalization, and why rushing to implement AI without human oversight can damage the very relationships that drive long-term success. Building Global Sales Teams With team members across China, Vietnam, India, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ukraine, and beyond, Enrique provides insights into managing a truly global sales organization. He shares their panel interview process, the importance of cultural fit, and why they prioritize entrepreneurs over traditional salespeople. Here's what you can expect to gain from this episode: •    A framework for attracting top talent through purpose-driven company culture •    Strategies for building transformational client relationships instead of transactional ones   •    Practical approaches to integrating AI while maintaining authentic human connections •    Methods for creating transparency that builds trust and improves performance •    Insights into managing and scaling global sales teams effectively Whether you're a sales leader looking to reduce turnover, a business owner wanting to build a more meaningful organization, or a sales professional seeking to create deeper client relationships, this conversation provides actionable strategies for long-term success.

The Pentagon is preparing to enforce the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements for small businesses, with compliance becoming mandatory in contracts starting November 10, 2025. Nearly 500 organizations have already achieved Level 2 certification, and the Defense Department is actively surveying small businesses to assess their readiness for these new standards. This initiative is expected to extend beyond Department of Defense contractors, potentially influencing other federal agencies and international partners to adopt similar cybersecurity measures.Recent reports highlight a concerning rise in cybersecurity threats, particularly in mobile attacks and ransomware incidents. According to the Verizon 2025 Mobile Security Index, 85% of organizations have reported increased mobile attacks, with 38% identifying AI-powered ransomware as a growing concern. Despite the widespread use of generative AI tools, only 17% of organizations have implemented specific security measures to counter AI-assisted attacks. Additionally, a report from Sophos indicates that 58% of retailers impacted by ransomware opted to pay the ransom, with the median demand doubling to $2 million.The episode also discusses the withdrawal of a controversial MIT Sloan paper that claimed 80% of ransomware attacks involved artificial intelligence, following criticism from cybersecurity experts. This incident underscores the issue of "AI-washing" in the cybersecurity sector, where unverified claims are made to attract attention. MSPs are advised to scrutinize such claims and focus on proven security practices rather than hype-driven narratives.For Managed Service Providers and IT decision-makers, the key takeaway is the importance of compliance and foundational cybersecurity practices. As the CMMC requirements loom, MSPs should consider developing readiness packages and tightening documentation processes. Additionally, the ongoing rise in lawsuits related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) highlights the need for businesses to prioritize compliance as a critical aspect of risk management, reinforcing that effective cybersecurity and legal compliance are essential for sustainable operations. Four things to know today00:00 The Cyber Threats Are Real — But It's Not AI Geniuses, It's the Same Old Tricks Getting Smarter05:05 MIT's Big AI-Ransomware Claim Falls Apart — Turns Out the Data Didn't Hold Up07:09 The Pentagon's Rolling Out CMMC — and Small Businesses Are Feeling the Pressure on All Fronts10:27 Everyone Wants to Be Your Platform — New MSP Tools from Cisco, Barracuda, and WatchGuard Show WhyThis is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/

We're re-releasing our very first episode of 2025 for a special reason - author Tiffani Bova was keynote speaker at this week's Grand Summit Conference in Seattle!  When Colin and I discussed "The Experience Mindset" at the start of this year, we had no idea she'd soon be joining us to explore our conference theme: "The Intersection of Leadership & Technology." Her insights on how Customer Experience and Employee Experience are intricately intertwined made this the perfect way to kick off the Summit, examining why companies that excel in both areas achieve true growth and success.Today's Podcast is brought to you by PaintScout. 

Jason and Jeff chat about the "circular" AI deals, whether AI stocks are just hype, and what it would actually take for this bubble to keep inflating. In this episode, we ask:Are AI stocks dangerously overvalued? What are these "circular deals" between companies like Nvidia, AMD, and OpenAI? Is this AI rally just like the dot-com bubble? Will AI lead to massive job losses, or will it just change what our jobs look like? Where will all the energy come from to power AI? (And what does this mean for nuclear power?) How we're thinking about investing and building a resilient portfolio right now.00:23 Exploring the AI Bubble00:56 Pitching the Premium Plan03:38 Market Crash Expectations06:33 AI's Impact on the Market15:55 Energy and AI: A Symbiotic Relationship22:41 The Future of Jobs in an AI-Driven World26:16 AI's Impact on Employment and Economy27:08 Amazon's AI Evolution with Alexa28:05 AI's Role in Business and Education33:34 AI's Influence on Market and Investments37:10 Future of Top Companies and AI42:06 Investment Strategies Amid AI UncertaintyCompanies mentioned: ADBE, AMD, AMZN, ASML, LMND, NOK, NOW, NVDA, TSM*****************************************Join our PatreonSubscribe to our portfolio on Savvy Trader *****************************************Email: investingunscripted@gmail.comTwitter: @InvestingPodCheck out our YouTube channel for more content: ******************************************To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscripted******************************************Listen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.
