Incorporating diverse foods, such as leafy greens, bell peppers, and spices, can significantly reduce the risk of eye diseases. Supplements should complement a healthy diet, filling in nutritional gaps due to factors like dietary absorption or soil nutrient depletion.   Resources: www.drranibanik.com https://www.facebook.com/rudrani.banik.2025/ @‌dr.ranibanik https://x.com/RudraniBanikMD     ✨ Enjoying the show?

In this episode, Dom breaks down nutritional versus supplemental ketosis, defines meaningful ketone thresholds, and outlines practical ways to achieve ketosis. He explains how a ketogenic diet can support metabolic health and weight loss, and advises on how to maintain adequate protein and avoid common mistakes. Dom surveys the growing landscape of exogenous ketones—from salts and esters to 1,3-butanediol—and effective pairings like caffeine, MCT oil, and alpha-GPC. He highlights the role of ketogenic therapy in cancer (particularly glioblastoma) and its promise for neurodegenerative diseases. The conversation also covers recommended hyperbaric oxygen protocols for brain injuries and cognitive function, situations where fasting or ketones offer cognitive and anti-inflammatory benefits, and touches on the carnivore diet as a ketogenic variant with potential relevance for autoimmune and metabolic conditions.

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes Jacqui Bryan, functional medicine expert and nutrition specialist, to unpack a condition that's more relevant to cancer survivors than many realize - gout. Although often associated with historical figures and rich feasts, gout can be a painful complication for those undergoing cancer treatments. Saranne, herself a long-term Stage IV cancer survivor, brings her signature humor and curiosity to the topic. As Jacqui explains, gout's root cause is the buildup of uric acid, and certain chemotherapy agents, medications, or kidney issues can trigger debilitating flare-ups. Together, Saranne and Jacqui break down how symptoms can be confused with common treatment side effects, why it matters for anyone in the cancer community, and what steps can be taken to prevent and manage this “disease of kings.” Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, and registered nurse. With her wide-ranging background in functional medicine, she offers practical, food-first strategies to help individuals manage side effects from cancer treatments and live healthier lives. Jacqui is recognized for her commitment to educating and empowering patients and their loved ones through nutrition, lifestyle, and supportive care. "Diets that are high in fiber trigger microorganisms that are in your gut to produce short chain fatty acids that actually resolve gout-associated inflammation." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Gout can be a side effect of cancer treatments like chemotherapy or medications such as diuretics, making it important to recognize and manage for cancer patients and survivors·     Symptoms of gout, especially severe joint pain, can easily be mistaken for medication side effects, underlining the need for medical evaluation·     Gout results from the buildup of uric acid, which can crystallize in joints and cause intense, sometimes immobilizing pain·     Diet plays a crucial role in managing gout; reducing red meat, shellfish, high-fat dairy, alcohol, and sugary drinks can help prevent flare-ups·     Incorporating low-purine foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and especially cherries, can lower uric acid levels and inflammation·     Hydration is essential, as drinking enough water helps flush excess uric acid from the body·     Maintaining a healthy body weight and eating at regular intervals are effective strategies in reducing gout risk and supporting overall health·     Patients should partner with healthcare providers to monitor symptoms and adjust dietary or medication plans as necessary for gout prevention and management 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries across 7 continents and features over 390 original daily episodes hosted by  Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions To sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/ Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

Brian Skrobonja sits down with Phon Vilayoune to unpack buffered ETFs and income notes. Phon is the Founder and CEO of VETA Investment Partners, where they currently oversee over $5.5 billion in assets. They discuss the benefits of positioning your portfolio for growth and safety, how to protect your nest egg in volatile markets, and practical strategies for optimizing gains while limiting downside risk. Tune in to hear professional insights on ETFs, income notes, and actionable frameworks for navigating today's complex market cycles. Phon explains how he entered the investing world and now helps oversee roughly $5.5B in assets. Phon highlights what trading during the 2008–09 crisis taught him about being positioned like Warren Buffett or Middle Eastern banks. In deep volatility, cash plus cash flow gives you the power to buy when everything is on sale.  Why you want a Buffett-style portfolio in a downturn: Buffett held strong during bear markets and bought when others panicked.  How to win more by losing less. Phon says risk management is the key. You never want to be a forced seller during a correction because you take a double hit: loss plus selling at the bottom. Phon and Brian break down buffered ETFs and how they're tied to S&P 500 options designed to provide a more predictable range of outcomes over 12 months. Think of it like investing with guardrails — you're participating but with intentional limits on downside. Learn what income notes are: Phon says it's basically converting equity exposure into monthly income. For example, instead of holding stocks outright, you buy a structured note designed to pay you steady monthly income while still giving some market participation. It's like blending investing and cash flow without fully being in the stock market. Phon on the future earnings potential of ETFs. He believes growth will continue, especially as aging demographics seek income and protection. BlackRock projects more than $600B in defined-outcome/Buffered ETFs in the coming years. Brian highlights that markets don't move straight up forever. We all intellectually understand cycles, but emotionally, we forget. That's why having a plan for downturns is essential. Phon shares a real-life ETF scenario and how, in 2002, a near-retirement couple protected their nest egg during intense volatility using defined outcome tools. They preserved their lifestyle when others were taking major hits. How to balance your portfolio for growth and safety. For Phon, the best thing you can do is to talk to a real human advisor. There's too much DIY noise; professional guidance helps you tune the right mix for your unique situation. Phon on what to ask your advisor: Ask how your portfolio would perform in a COVID-style year or another global-financial-crisis scenario. Then ask how it generates income and supports your goals. His favorite question: "Have you actually guided clients through a deep bear market?" Why working with a professional matters: Many strategies look great and work during bull markets. But the real test is whether they protect you when things are down. Phon explains that good portfolio design is about being structurally prepared before volatility hits. You want a position that holds through downturns—and ideally lets you buy when opportunities appear. Phon's parting advice to the audience: Go outside, walk your dog, and take real time away with family. Getting off screens and into nature helps you stay grounded. Investing is long-term—your life should be too.     Mentioned in this episode: VetaInvestmentPartners.com BlackRock.com/us/financial-professionals/insights/outcome-etfs BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify     Alternative investments may be subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles.

Tianna, known for her expertise in personal branding, joins LA in sharing practical insights on incorporating video into daily sales processes to maximize leads, appointments, and sales conversions! "You want people to almost have a deja vu experience when they visit your dealership." - LA Williams The episode dives deep into the fundamental aspects of creating effective sales videos, including the importance of proper setup, consistent backgrounds, and expertly crafted scripts. LA and Tianna stress that video content should be concise, personalized, and built around a clear value proposition to engage prospects effectively.  "Making sure you say the customer's name is super important... everybody's favorite word is their name." - Tianna Mick As the conversation unfolds, they provide a robust framework involving key elements like effective lighting, the relevance of a clean camera lens, and the power of personal connection through direct calls to action, all while implementing new technology such as AI in content creation. For the seasoned sales professional and the novice alike, the insights shared in this episode are invaluable for mastering the art of video marketing in the automotive industry!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Using video in car sales increases engagement and builds trust faster than text or audio alone. ✅ Maintain consistency and brand recognition in video backgrounds to enhance authenticity and viewer comfort. ✅ Essential elements of a perfect lead video: customer's name, vehicle of interest, value proposition, and call to action. ✅ Embrace AI technology to enhance video content creation efficiently and effectively. ✅ Practice and iteration lead to improvement; start shooting videos to develop skills and reduce hesitation over time. About Tianna 'T Got Your Keys' Mick Tianna Mick, famously known as "T Got Your Keys," is a prominent figure in the automotive sales space! Celebrated as the "Queen of Branding", with an impressive record of selling +20 cars per month while consistently being the #1 Grossing Salesperson at her store and generating her own leads/business through her TGotYourKeys.com Website. Tianna has established herself as a top performer and innovator in car sales strategies, with a special focus on personal branding and digital marketing.   Revolutionize Your Dealership with Video Marketing: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Key Takeaways Harness the Power of Video: Video marketing is not just a trend but a necessity in modern car sales, enabling dealerships to create personal connections and reduce the fear of the unknown for customers. Optimize the Basics: Setting up a compelling video involves proper lighting, clear audio, and a consistent, clean background to enhance trust and engagement. Script and Deliver Effectively: Essential elements of a successful video include addressing customers by name, highlighting the vehicle of interest, and concluding with a strong call-to-action.   Leverage Video to Establish Trust and Familiarity In the dynamic world of car sales, the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast delves into the transformative potential of video marketing. LA Williams, alongside Tianna Mick, emphasizes the powerful emotional connection videos can establish, setting a dealership apart in a sea of sameness. "You want people to almost have a deja vu experience when they visit your dealership," LA Williams suggests, underscoring how videos can eliminate the fear of the unknown—a significant barrier for potential buyers. The discussion sheds light on how video marketing can simulate a personal interaction, thus building trust faster than written text or static images. With the capability to convey sight, sound, motion, and emotion, videos can significantly enhance customer engagement, making them feel more comfortable and familiar even before stepping into the dealership. Incorporating video tours of your dealership, for example, ensures customers find the environment welcoming and recognizable. Tianna Mick points out, "walk into, like, a courthouse… you're going to be like, where do I go? I'm nervous." This analogy emphasizes how video tours can transform the customer's first visit into a seamless, almost familiar journey. The Essential Setup for Effective Video Marketing Crafting a compelling video requires a foundational setup that pairs well with the content. As expressed in the podcast, without the right tools, even the most well-intentioned videos may fall flat. LA Williams, despite being visually impaired, stresses the importance of proper lighting and camera clarity, demonstrating that the basics of video production are vital regardless of one's abilities. "Top two things for any video… audio, you gotta have good audio, and… good lighting." The podcast highlights that a clean camera lens and a consistent background are understated elements that significantly impact the quality of video marketing. Tiana Mick advises, "making sure you wipe the front and every single one of the lenses in the back," a small yet critical step that improves visual clarity and viewer engagement. Coupled with a customized, dealership-branded backdrop, these elements ensure that each video serves as a professional representation of the brand, significantly enhancing credibility. Moreover, the consistency in video backgrounds, as noted by Tianna, can reinforce brand recognition, much like how viewers associate a television character with their set environment. This aspect ensures that your audience's focus remains on the message rather than potential distractions, amplifying the overall impact. Crafting and Delivering Your Message Creating a successful video is more than just presentation—it's about crafting a powerful message that resonates. Essential to the video strategy discussed in the podcast is the script, especially emphasizing personalization and value-addition. Incorporating the customer's name into the conversation is not merely courteous but strategic. "Everybody's favorite word… is our names," Tianna Mick asserts, highlighting its efficacy in personalizing communication and fostering genuine connections. The video should also clarify the customer's vehicle of interest while subtly integrating the dealership's value proposition. "Providing value and showing why they need to be purchasing with you," says Mick, ensures the video is informative and persuasive. These aspects are crucial in aligning the dealership's offerings with customer needs, driving engagement and conversion. A compelling call-to-action (CTA) concludes each video, guiding prospects toward the next step, whether scheduling a call or visiting the dealership. As LA Williams articulates, a CTA effectively escalates the interaction, encouraging a seamless transition from virtual engagement to in-person attendance. In essence, adopting video marketing as outlined by the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast participants revolutionizes customer interactions, establishing a bridge between the virtual and physical realms of car sales. Employing these strategies fosters enhanced connections, drives customer comfort, and ultimately, amplifies sales success. These insights are indispensable for dealers striving to stand out and thrive in today's competitive environment. By prioritizing video content, dealerships can not only augment their marketing strategies but also cultivate a genuinely engaging customer experience.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

In this episode, we begin our Advent journey in Eden, a place of freedom, communion, and life without shame. Eden is not only a moment in history, but also an interior garden within each of our hearts. We talk about the deep ache we all feel for union, rest, and peace, and how this longing reveals our original design for communion with God. We also reflect on the shame that often accompanies this desire for communion with others, especially when our desires are left unmet, and how bringing these places of poverty to Jesus opens us up to real, lived communion with Him.   Heather's One Thing - The Renew Conference in Toronto Heather's Other One Thing - Her Advent Worship Playlist Sister Miriam's One Thing - Sacred Anchor Artisans (Catholic Etsy!) founded by Tim and Molly Olsen Michelle's One Thing - The Inspired Living and this Chrism Candle Michelle's Other One Thing - Fr. Innocent Montgomery, CFR   Welcome, dear friends… to this Advent journey, a pilgrimage of the heart, through four sacred spaces where heaven once touched the earth.   These are the places of Advent. Eden. Loreto. Elizabeth's home. And a stable under starlight.   Each one holds a mystery… a whisper of God's coming, a rhythm of waiting, a quiet invitation to abide.   We begin… in Eden — the garden of beginnings and original designs, Here, everything was whole once, every breath in attunement with God's own. But even in the ache of what was lost, something sacred remains, a longing, a promise, a memory of shalom harmony still written in our bones.   Eden reminds us: our waiting is not empty. It is the remembering of love that has never stopped pursuing us.   Journal Questions: What are the unique gifts that God has placed inside of you? When do I experience shame in the ache for communion? When have I recently experienced a rupture from Eden? Who in your life allows you to feel at home and at ease? How can I return to Eden through a daily practice?   Discussion Questions: How have you experienced yourself as a gift? When have you experienced an ache for Eden in your life? When do you feel exiled from Eden? What glimpses of Eden have you seen in your life recently?   Quote to Ponder: "We all long for Eden, and we are constantly glimpsing it: our whole nature at its best and least corrupted, its gentlest and most human, is still soaked with the sense of exile." (J.R.R. Tolkien, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien)   Scripture for Lectio: "Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame."

The devastating fire that swept through the Wang Fuk Court residential complex in Tai Po, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, on Wednesday, causing heavy casualties, marks one of the most tragic incidents in the SAR's recent history. The catastrophe has highlighted the urgent need for a comprehensive review of safety protocols in high-density urban environments like Hong Kong.本周三席卷香港特别行政区大埔宏福苑住宅群、造成重大人员伤亡的火灾，是香港近年来最为惨烈的事故之一。这场灾难凸显出：在香港这样高度密集的城市环境中，全面审视并升级现行安全措施已迫在眉睫。President Xi Jinping immediately extended his condolences to the families of the victims and expressed his sympathy to those affected by the disaster on Wednesday. He urged the Hong Kong and Macao Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong SAR to support the SAR government in making every effort to put out the fire, carry out search and rescue operations, treat the injured, and provide post-disaster support. Xi also demanded that relevant departments and localities provide necessary assistance to the SAR government to strive to minimize the casualties and losses.习近平主席在事故发生当天立即向遇难者家属致以深切慰问，并对受灾群众表示关怀。他要求中共中央港澳工作办公室及中央政府驻港联络办公室全力支持特区政府灭火、搜救、救治伤者以及做好灾后支援工作。同时，他要求相关部门和地方对特区政府给予必要协助，尽最大努力减少人员伤亡和损失。This underscores the deep concern of the central government for the well-being of Hong Kong people, and is a reminder that the central authorities are always ready to stand behind the SAR and offer a helping hand whenever it is in need.这充分体现了中央对香港市民福祉的深切牵挂，也再次表明：每当香港需要时，中央政府都会坚定地作为后盾、伸出援手。The SAR government, led by Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu, has fully mobilized resources to extinguish the fire, carry out rescue operations, treat the injured, and provide assistance and emotional support to families. A full investigation is also being carried out. The arrest of three individuals from a construction company in connection with the fire signals a commitment to accountability.在行政长官李家超的领导下，特区政府已全面动员资源投入灭火、救援、救治伤者，以及为受影响家庭提供各类支援与心理安抚。同时，一项全面调查正在进行中。警方拘捕涉事建筑公司的三名人员，也显示出特区当局追究责任的决心。The tragedy should serve as a catalyst for reevaluating building safety standards and construction practices, particularly the use of bamboo scaffolding, which is still a common practice in Hong Kong, as this facilitated the rapid spread of the fire. There have been at least three fires involving bamboo scaffolding in Hong Kong this year, according to the SAR's Association for the Rights of Industrial Accident Victims.这场悲剧也应成为重新审视建筑安全标准和施工方式的契机，尤其是香港仍普遍使用的竹架棚，其存在加速了火势蔓延。根据特区“工伤权益协会”的数据，今年以来香港至少发生三起与竹棚架相关的火灾。The government's earlier decision to phase out bamboo scaffolding in public projects is a step in the right direction, but this policy needs to be accelerated and expanded to include all construction projects in the city.特区政府此前决定在公共工程中逐步淘汰竹棚架，此举方向正确，但相关措施亟需加快推进，并扩大至全市所有工程项目。Furthermore, the incident raises questions about the fire resistance of materials used in building exteriors. It is suspected that some of the materials on the exterior walls of the high-rise buildings did not meet current fire resistance standards, enabling the fire to spread unusually fast. This calls for an urgent review and, if necessary, a tightening and enforcing of building codes to ensure that all major materials used in construction are noncombustible and can withstand high temperatures.此外，这次事故也引发对外墙材料耐火性能的质疑。有迹象显示，高层建筑部分外墙材料可能未达到现行防火标准，致使火势异常迅速蔓延。亟需对相关建筑规范进行全面审查，并在必要时进一步严格标准与执行，确保主要建筑材料具备阻燃性和高耐热性。Incorporating fire safety into new developments and restoration work is also essential. This includes the installation of sprinkler systems, and the implementation of smoke detection technologies in both new and existing structures. Urban planners should also consider fire safety in the design of public spaces, ensuring that there are adequate escape routes, clear signage and accessible fire hydrants.在新建及翻新工程中系统性纳入消防安全同样至关重要，包括增设喷水灭火系统、配置烟雾探测技术，并确保新旧建筑都符合安全要求。城市规划中也应把消防安全纳入设计原则，确保公共空间具备足够的逃生通道、清晰的指示标识以及便利可达的消防栓等设施。Creating safe urban spaces requires a proactive and collaborative approach in which all stakeholders are committed to prioritizing safety and well-being. By being prepared, cities can better protect their communities from the devastating impacts of fires and other emergencies.建设安全城市需要积极、协同的治理方式，要求所有相关方都将公共安全和市民福祉置于优先位置。只有提前做好准备，城市才能更好地抵御火灾等突发事件带来的破坏。So in addition to these structural and regulatory considerations, there is a need for enhanced public awareness and preparedness. Community engagement initiatives can help build a culture of safety and vigilance, and fire drills and safety education can empower residents to respond more effectively to such emergencies.因此，除了制度和工程层面的改善之外，也必须提升公众的安全意识与应急准备。通过加强社区参与、建立安全文化、组织消防演练及普及安全教育，可使居民在面对紧急情况时具备更有效的应对能力。As Hong Kong mourns the loss of life and grapples with the aftermath of this disaster, it is crucial to channel collective grief into action. By strengthening safety regulations, updating construction practices, and enhancing emergency preparedness, the city can honor the memory of those who lost their lives and build a safer future for all its residents.在香港哀悼逝者、应对灾后局面的时刻，更应把悲痛转化为行动动力。通过强化安全监管、更新建筑实践、提升应急准备，香港才能真正告慰逝者，并为所有市民打造一个更安全的未来。bamboo scaffolding竹棚架fire resistance standards耐火标准/防火标准noncombustible materials不燃材料sprinkler systems自动喷水灭火系统smoke detection technologies烟雾探测技术

In this powerful conversation on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley sit down with F&I leader, author, and performance coach Adam Marburger to explore what's really happening inside today's finance departments… and where the industry is headed next! "The days where the F&I department is kind of on their own island are slowly fading." - Adam Marburger Adam brings a fresh, servant-leadership perspective to automotive F&I, sharing key lessons from decades in the business along with insights shaped by years of training, coaching, and martial arts discipline. Together, the trio breaks down the real challenges facing dealerships, the evolving role of F&I managers, and the cultural shifts required to build stronger, more profitable teams. "So the question is, why aren't more F and I managers doing the things that we're talking about now? Why are they not taking more tos? Why are they not getting involved? Why are they not being more present?" - Adam Marburger From leadership to communication, from customer experience to the rise of new technologies, this episode offers a forward-looking discussion that every dealer, manager, and aspiring leader will want to hear…without giving away the strategies you'll discover inside. "Jiu-Jitsu helps with every aspect of life—physically, mentally, spiritually." - Adam Marburger Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts mindset, mastery, and modern automotive leadership!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Evolving Role of F&I Managers: Adam Marburger emphasizes the shift in the F&I role from being strictly transactional to focusing on building customer relationships and trust. ✅ Importance of Servant Leadership: A core theme is the necessity for F&I managers and leaders to adopt a servant leadership mindset, focusing on the needs and growth of their team members. ✅ Continuous Training and Development: Effective onboarding and ongoing training are critical to minimizing mistakes and empowering staff to excel in customer interactions and sales success. ✅ Integration of Technology: Embracing digital tools and AI is vital for future-proofing operations and enhancing customer experience in automotive sales. ✅ Value of Jiu-Jitsu in Leadership: Adam draws parallels between his discipline in martial arts and his professional life, highlighting how the principles of perseverance and strategic thinking apply to business success. About Adam Marburger Adam Marburger is an award-winning automotive leader, author of The Servant-Leading F&I Manager: Leadership Refined, and performance coach dedicated to redefining leadership in the car business. With over two decades of experience, Adam teaches teams how to lead with empathy, emotional intelligence, and purpose. His mission is to help professionals create cultures of excellence through mindset, mentorship, and servant leadership.   Redefining F&I Management: Transformative Leadership in Automotive for 2026 Key Takeaways The evolution of F&I has seen a shift from traditional transactional roles to a more integrated, holistic customer-centric approach driven by effective leadership. Understanding the relationship between technology, proper training, and servant leadership can significantly influence dealership success. The application of martial arts philosophies in business, such as Jiu Jitsu, provides unique insights into persistence and strategic growth in the automotive industry. The Evolving Role of F&I Managers: From Transactional to Transformative The landscape of Finance and Insurance (F&I) in the automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Historically viewed as a transactional role focused on maximizing profits through product sales, the F&I manager's position is increasingly seen as an integral part of a cohesive dealership strategy. According to the conversation between Sean V. Bradley and Adam Marburger, modern F&I managers need to embody "servant leadership," where they prioritize the long-term satisfaction and well-being of customers and employees over immediate financial gain. The adoption of a servant leadership model within F&I suggests a profound cultural shift within the automotive industry. As defined in the transcript, "Servant leadership, it is kind of like everybody talks about it. It's action. It's not words." Marburger emphasizes that successful F&I managers actively assist sales teams, engage with service departments, and contribute to the overall dealership ecosystem. Implementing a servant leadership approach involves concrete actions rather than mere rhetoric. F&I managers need to actively engage with clients and colleagues, fostering an environment where all team members feel valued and supported. It's about "truly connecting with people on a daily basis with one common goal: to make them feel special, to make them feel heard, to make them feel valued, to make them feel safe." The Power of Training and Collaboration in Automotive Retail Training and collaboration emerge as pivotal themes for achieving success in automotive sales. As Marburger suggests, training should go beyond basic knowledge transfer, aiming to create a more integrated network of roles within the dealership. A robust training process allows staff to understand various dealership functions, ultimately improving communication and operational efficiency. "A lot of these conversations are flying, conversations where you might be walking back to the conference room together," Marburger notes, highlighting the importance of informal learning exchanges. For F&I managers, this means not only understanding their product offerings but also becoming well-versed in sales strategies and client management techniques. The ultimate goal is to craft a seamless customer experience where value is consistently delivered. Creating synergy between departments, especially between F&I and sales, is critical. The training should focus on equipping salespeople with the ability to introduce products effectively to clients before entering the F&I office. "Our customers actually enjoy buying if you try not to sell them; they actually buy them," Marburger explains, suggesting a subtle yet powerful shift in the sales approach. Martial Arts Philosophy: Persistence and Strategic Thinking in Business The discussion also explores how martial arts philosophies, particularly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, can influence business strategies within the automotive industry. Practicing Jiu Jitsu requires perseverance, resilience, and strategic thinking—qualities that translate seamlessly into the demands of automotive sales. Both Bradley and Marburger, as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts, draw parallels between their martial arts training and business experiences. Marburger states, "The black belt was one of the few things outside of my daughters being born that did give me a sense of accomplishment because I know what it's like. Like, it was hard." This sentiment reveals the patience and determination required in both fields. Incorporating these philosophies into a dealership's operational ethos can foster a culture of continuous improvement and strategic foresight. Employees can learn to maneuver challenges with the patience and precision demanded on the Jiu Jitsu mat. "It added something. It's like, as most people won't ever get that," says Marburger, acknowledging the rare and valuable perspective that martial arts training offers. Throughout this enlightening dialogue, the future of automotive leadership is painted as a dynamic interplay of servant leadership, comprehensive training, and strategic resilience. No longer confined to traditional roles, F&I managers are encouraged to embrace a broader vision—one that harmonizes various aspects of the dealership to create a superior customer experience. The lessons of martial arts underline the perseverance and strategic acumen necessary to thrive in this evolving landscape, reflecting an industry poised for transformation.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

In this mini episode, Megan Wimberley highlights the importance of planning and organization for artists, revealing how these strategies can set the tone for a successful year. She encourages artists to reflect on their past year by celebrating their accomplishments, which is crucial in a field where self-doubt can easily creep in. This reflection not only provides motivation but also helps artists recognize their growth and set a positive mindset moving forward.Megan delves into practical steps for organizing the upcoming year, emphasizing the necessity of a clear system that allows artists to visualize their goals and deadlines. She suggests creating a “year at a glance” with quarterly breakdowns, using whiteboards or digital tools like Figma to help manage their schedules effectively. By incorporating color-coded milestones and deadlines, artists can obtain a clearer picture of their commitments, making it easier to balance work and personal life. Throughout her discussion, the overarching message is one of empowerment: that by planning realistically and flexibly, artists can reduce stress, protect their time, and create space for both artistic and personal fulfillment.Takeaways: Getting organized and planning ahead is crucial for a successful year in art. Reflecting on past accomplishments helps artists recognize their progress and avoid burnout. Creating a 'Year at a Glance' calendar allows for better time management and prevents over-scheduling. Incorporating color-coded systems in calendars can help track important deadlines and milestones effectively. Setting aside time for personal activities is essential to maintaining balance in a busy schedule. Flexibility in planning is important; artists should adapt their goals and schedules as needed throughout the year.

In Essential Verse 3 (Chapter 2, Verse 7), we explore the theme of fearlessness as Arjuna, overwhelmed by the thought of war, turns to Divinity for clarity and guidance.

Brian Skrobonja talks about the hidden trap of survival mode: that quiet, familiar mindset that keeps you safe but small. He explains why so many people in midlife mistake control for security, and how shifting from a scarcity mindset to a mentality of abundance changes everything about how you earn, spend, and live. Tune in to hear what it really takes to move from survival to strategy, from managing scarcity to creating abundance, and why your next level of wealth starts in your mind, not your bank account. Brian starts by explaining how time sneaks up on us. One day you're in your 20s, and before you know it, decades have passed and you're in your 40s and 50s. Brian reveals that survival mode can feel safe because it's familiar. It got you through the student loans, the mortgage, the chaos of raising kids. But staying there too long turns what once protected you into what now holds you back. Learn why survival mode isn't a wealth strategy, it's a coping mechanism. It helps you survive the storm, but it won't help you build the life you're meant for. Brian explains what survival mode sounds like — phrases like "let's just get through this month," or "I'll do it myself, why pay someone else." It's the mindset of always managing crisis instead of creating space. And over time, that mindset becomes a ceiling you can't see but always feel. According to Brian, the midlife shift begins when you realize your greatest assets aren't money or status. They're your time, your energy, and your ability to think beyond what used to be possible.  Brian reveals that in survival mode, every dollar has a job: pay bills, pay debt, save a little, repeat. But in strategy mode, every dollar has a mission: grow, create margin, and buy back time. How to see money differently: not as control, but as freedom.  Brian shares that when couples view money as a tool to create experiences and peace of mind, their entire relationship with it changes. Suddenly, money becomes connection, not conflict. Learn how to shift from scarcity to abundance thinking. From "there's never enough" to "I can create more." Brian reveals that scarcity doesn't always look like struggle. Sometimes it looks like the person who's debt-free but afraid to invest or try something new. It's protection disguised as prudence, and it keeps your potential locked away. Brian explains the danger of carrying your old survival habits into midlife. You might think you're being smart, but what you're really doing is protecting what you have instead of growing what's possible. You end up loyal to your limitations instead of your evolution. For Brian, abundance isn't fantasy thinking. It's confidence in your ability to generate value, attract opportunity, and recover from mistakes.  Learn how abundance thinking changes the questions you ask. Instead of "how do I save more," you begin asking, "how can I multiply this?" Instead of "what will this cost me," you start asking, "what could this create for me?" Brian explains that money is energy, it flows both ways. When you spend it to buy back time or peace of mind, that's not waste, it's wisdom. Your return isn't just financial, it's emotional, mental, and deeply human. Why buying back your time matters: it's not indulgent, it's stewardship. The moment you start using money to free your schedule, your mind expands. You make room for strategy, creativity, and joy — the real sources of wealth. Brian reveals that money doesn't change who you are, it amplifies you. If you lead with fear, more money only multiplies that fear. But if you lead with purpose, money becomes fuel for everything that truly matters. Brian explains that wealthy people don't do it all themselves. They hire experts, delegate complexity, and buy back focus. They understand that leverage isn't loss of control, it's how they multiply their capability. Why community matters: scarcity breeds more scarcity when you stay around people who think small. Brian urges you to surround yourself with those who think in terms of growth, possibility, and opportunity. Brian closes with a challenge: stop asking, "What will this cost me?" and start asking, "What can this create for me?"  That one question can open the door to your next chapter — a life that's not just about surviving, but thriving in full alignment with who you're becoming.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify     Alternative investments may be subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles.

Its benefits are numerous and scientifically supported. Green noise acts as a natural sleep aid by masking disruptive sounds in the environment. Unlike sudden and jarring noises, green noise's consistent and balanced spectrum of frequencies provides a gentle auditory backdrop, helping individuals stay asleep or fall asleep more easily. This is particularly beneficial for light sleepers or those living in noisy urban areas, as it creates a tranquil auditory environment conducive to deep rest. Green noise has been found to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Its steady and predictable pattern of sound can help reduce anxiety and stress levels, which are often culprits behind sleep disturbances. As it promotes relaxation, green noise can lower heart rate and blood pressure, making it a valuable tool for individuals who struggle with insomnia or experience high levels of nighttime stress. This soothing auditory experience can induce a state of relaxation, paving the way for a more peaceful and rejuvenating night's sleep. In addition, green noise offers cognitive benefits that extend beyond sleep. Research suggests that exposure to green noise can enhance cognitive performance, including memory consolidation and problem-solving abilities. These improvements are thought to result from the noise's ability to promote stable and undisturbed sleep, allowing the brain to undergo essential processes related to memory and learning. Incorporating green noise into your sleep routine not only aids in achieving a better night's sleep but can also lead to improved daytime cognitive function and overall well-being. Sweet dreams! DISCLAIMER: Do not turn the volume up so high that you are unable to have a regular conversation. Loud sounds can potentially damage your hearing. While listening, make sure the sound is at a reasonable volume. Do not place speakers next to a child's ears. If you have difficulty hearing or hear ringing in your ears, please immediately discontinue listening and consult an audiologist or physician.

In this episode, Brian Skrobonja explains what alternative investments are and why they are the fastest route to growing your assets or retirement savings. He sheds light on how the most successful investors in the world keep getting wealthier and how to use an endowment like strategy to position your retirement assets. Brian explores alternative investments opportunities.  He goes over what larger investors are doing to diversify away from the public market in an effort to help clients protect downside risks. The shift in investment philosophy amongst the largest investors is something to pay attention to as it could offer valuable insights on how to position your retirement assets. Brian explains why it's prudent for investors to adopt an endowment like model. The wealthiest and most successful investors in the world keep getting wealthier, not because they are lucky or privileged, but because they are playing a different game than the average investor. According to Brian, with medical advancements extending life beyond what we have seen in the past, we are entering a longevity dilemma as people may find themselves living longer than their assets. For Brian, the traditional retirement age tied to social security eligibility has longevity implications that are being overlooked. The 4% rule suggests you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement savings annually with the assumption that the balance in your account will sustain you for 30 years. Brian shares why he believes the 4% rule is not sustainable in the modern age.  There's risk with any type of investment and alternatives are no exception. Brian talks about portfolio diversification and why we need to expand the definition of diversification. Brian talks about alternative investments and why you should consider having a portion of your savings in private equity, private debt, real estate trusts, and even oil and gas. For Brian, the stock market may be a core component of a portfolio, but it cannot be the only holding.  Should investors get out of public markets entirely?  According to Brian, investors should not get out of the market entirely, but should acknowledge that there are many investment opportunities that are far better than the stock market.   We are seeing the world change before our eyes. The way we invest today needs to be forward looking to consider the changes that are underway.   Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify   References for this episode: kiplinger.com/article/investing/t047-c032-s014-to-succeed-at-investing-do-what-yale-does.html brianskrobonja.com/podcasts/posts/ep-52-strategically-separating-your-assets-with-the-five-minute-retirement-plan/ prudential.com/financial-education/4-percent-rule-retirement#:~:text=The%204%25%20rule%20comes%20with,close%20to%20covering%20your%20needs. wsj.com/finance/investing/pension-funds-stocks-bonds-679b8536 imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2000/wp0018.pdf weforum.org/agenda/2022/04/longer-healthier-lives-everyone/ nmhc.org/industry-topics/affordable-housing/apartment-supply-shortage/ sealynet.com/news/sealy-company-small-industrial-spaces/ nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/inflation-and-debt nasdaq.com/articles/revisiting-the-classic-60-40-portfolio-as-challenges-loom     Securities offered only by duly registered individuals through Madison Avenue Securities, LLC.
