We usually focus all the magic to be found at Walt Disney World, but as we all know there are other Disney parks around the globe. Our good friend Jonathan Goodman just returned from a trip to Tokyo Disney, a place that I confess I've never been. I for one can't wait to hear about all the magical surprises that can be found there… So sit back, relax, and join us for a virtual tour of Tokyo Disney!

#269 I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Kate Martin, and we had an honest, in-depth conversation about my journey, from having my car repossessed to paying off almost $500,000 in debt, and eventually helping other fitness professionals get financially strong. We covered a lot including the exact steps I took to climb out of $130K in debt, how I went on to run two gym locations, and why I'm so passionate about coaching other fit pros on money. Kate also brought up my mention in Jonathan Goodman's new book The Obvious Choice, which was a fun full-circle moment. In the episode, we talk about: • The wake-up call that started it all • Why separating personal and business finances is a must • Planning for taxes and pricing your services properly • How to make smart hiring decisions using a simple 3-scenario approach • And how the self-discipline we build in fitness applies directly to building wealth If you're in the fitness industry (or any service-based biz) and want to feel more confident with your money, I think you'll get a lot from this one.

I also have posts that have less than a thousand likes. And I can tell you that the posts with less than a thousand likes drive more business than the posts with 30 or 40,000. Now, does that mean that neither is valuable? I believe that we need three types of content. I believe that we need viral, value, and depth-based content.” — Jonathan Goodman, 00:25:59 → 00:27:08Content as a Savings Account: “Most of the time, everything that's working for you will be bubbling underneath the surface, invisible to the eye. You don't know when that inflection point is going to hit… You have to think of content as a savings account and you have to think of content as a way to primarily nurture and convert people and leads that are generated elsewhere.” — Jonathan Goodman, 00:21:10 → 00:21:56Show notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicJonathan Goodman - Founder of Personal Trainer Development Center

When news broke of the Jewish National Fund of Canada losing its charitable status on Aug. 10, the move meant the Canada Revenue Agency also stripped the venerable Jewish charity of its ability to issue tax receipts to donors. This poses a serious challenge to the historic Zionist fundraising organization–which received $20.2 million in donations in 2023: will supporters still want to give money to JNF Canada for environmental and resilience projects in Israel if they can no longer write the philanthropy off on their Canadian income tax forms? Some donors are taking a wait and see approach, but want answers as to why JNF Canada admits it kept quiet for years about its problems with the federal tax auditors who warned them about "repeated and serious non-compliance" with Canadian tax rules dating back to at least 2014, and earlier. But other philanthropists say the bureaucrats didn't treate JNF Canada fairly, and they expect the charity will win both of its appeals in court: to block the suspension, and to eventually overturn it. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, we're joined by two prominent JNF Canada donors: Jonathan Goodman of Montreal, who is raising $10 million for JNF Canada's new Climate Solutions Prize to boost "green technology", and also by Mary Ellen Herman of Toronto, who donated half the cost of an accessible playground built in southern Israel.

We're thrilled to share MSD's conversation with Jonathan Goodman, CEO of Dundee Corp. Jonathan has a long career within the mining sector. As CEO of his firm, he is now focused on funding early-stage exploration and development projects. He's built a highly trained technical team for due diligence where he admits, Dundee may know the project better than company's executive team. Years ago, Jonathan wrote an op-ed about the mining business titled "The Elephant in the Room." It can be found here. We ask Jon if some of those concerns have been mitigated since the last major bull cycle in precious metals. We also talk about technical reports and how to spot the good and the bad within PEAs and Feasibility studies.
