Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – Pastor Whitney and Pastor Pete explore this statement and dig into why they said that. Christianity is a faith that is built not on a person doing something for God in order to gain His favor. It is rather a faith that depends on God to forgive them their sins and give them the Holy Spirit, which has the power to overcome their...

One random night watching a Yankees and Orioles game somehow turned Ben Maller into the executive producer and kingpin of "The Maller Matchmaker: Friend Edition," a completely spontaneous and unnecessary adventure some 2,300-miles away from the People's Republic of California, co-starring Marlins Man and Sports With Coleman. Because when you see Marlins Man behind home plate, naturally the next move is to start meddling in people’s lives. Along the way, Ben plays the adult version of Where’s Waldo?, while Bob Uecker, Don King, Casey Kasem-style “long-distance dedications,” and the Pentagon somehow wander into the story. Sure, why not? Then there’s the important historical investigation nobody requested: What clothing item did President Truman, Elvis Presley, Tom Selleck, and Jimmy Buffett help make popular? We also squeeze in the Atari 2600, Jonestown, and the philosophical dilemma that has tortured mankind for generations: What exactly qualifies as Kool-Aid? It’s Friday’s Fifth Hour — a perfectly normal podcast made by perfectly normal people, unless it's not.

What if the thoughts that have been defining your life—the ones whispering you're not enough, unloved, or stuck forever—were never actually yours to begin with? Pastor Dave opened week two of the *MINDFULL* series by anchoring the church in Romans 12:2: *"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."* With disarming creativity—planting the image of a dog, throwing foam balls into the congregation—Pastor Dave made the invisible viscerally real: the enemy doesn't need to physically attack you when he can simply lob thoughts from the outside and watch you catch them, own them, and speak them into existence over your life. His unique insight cut deep—the devil isn't creative, he's a perverter, and we've been drinking the same Kool-Aid since the Garden. But here's the hope that changes everything: while the devil speaks *I'm* from the outside, God speaks *you are* from within—chosen, redeemed, beloved, more than a conqueror. Church, stop prophesying your prison. You have a hope with a name—Jesus—and He's already paid for your freedom. Come receive it.Romans 12:2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.Acts 5:3Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy SpiritJohn 13:2 "The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus"Nehemiah 7:55 So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there:1 Thessalonians 5:8 NIV8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmetRomans 15:13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Benny opens the vault for a never-before-told tale of a spur-of-the-moment midnight ride aboard the legendary Maller Party Bus, rumbling through deserted desert wasteland on a pilgrimage to the Mecca of multi-pump refueling. Along the way, Ben conducts an “expansion draft,” bonds with his favorite rodent and somehow turns a simple road trip into another chapter of Maller Madness. There are twists, turns and a reunion with a long-lost radio colleague, capped off by a five-star rustic dining experience — al fresco on the hood of a car in 100-degree heat, because apparently tables and air conditioning are for aristocrats. We even break out the CompuBox Stats to measure the damage from this great desert odyssey. It may not be a good year, but it’s a damn good story. Plus, appetizers featuring Creamsicles, Kool-Aid, Navajo Code Talkers, Tajín toppings and enough random detours to leave your GPS begging for workers’ comp. No hocus pocus, just focus!

Episode Title: "AA Works 100% of the Time"Hosts: Mike & GlennThe Data Dilemma: Does AA Actually Work?Hosts Mike and Glenn open the episode by tackling a common question: What percentage of people who go to Alcoholics Anonymous actually get sober?They agree that because AA is an anonymous program lacking a formal structure for surveys or data collection, any statistic cited out there is essentially made up. There is no comprehensive, quantitative data set—only snippets.However, the hosts argue that while the program's overall statistics are impossible to track, the success rate for an individual who completely commits is absolute: When you surrender to the program, get a sponsor, take directives to heart, and stay active, AA works 100% of the time.The "Secret Sauce" and Page 58The hosts ground their argument in Page 58 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which famously states:“Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.”When people follow the program and still relapse, Glenn suggests there is a "disconnect"—much like an ignored warning light in a car. Ignoring a low tire pressure light eventually leads to a blowout and a crash; in recovery, dishonesty is that warning light. Those who fail are usually those who cannot or will not completely give themselves to the program.Exceptions: The Big Book notes exceptions for those with severe mental health issues. However, the hosts point out that diagnoses made while actively drinking can be skewed, and many ills are solved simply through abstinence and a competent recovery program.Host Spotlight: Personal JourneysGlenn's Story (The 10% Phase): Initially, Glenn tried doing AA his way, which resulted in a 10% success rate. He was a "yo-yo," letting his ego and judgment keep him from truly connecting. When he finally surrendered—listening to others' pain and finding similarities instead of differences—the program began to work.Mike's Story (The Deep End): Mike found success by completely surrendering his own will from day one. He "drank the Kool-Aid," jumped into the deep end, and embraced rigorous honesty, selfless behavior, and service. By letting others count on him, he achieved 100% sobriety.Perception vs. RealityCelebrity Relapses: The hosts note that when a celebrity endorses AA and later relapses or dies, the world views it as an "AA failure." In reality, it is an individual failure resulting from taking one's will back or stopping being honest.The Gym Membership Analogy: Saying AA doesn't work without doing the work is like buying a gym membership, never working out, and blaming the gym for you not getting fit.Dealing with "Bad Apples": There may be people with bad intentions in the rooms, but meeting attendance shouldn't be based on how you feel about others. The focus must remain on personal recovery and service.Glenn's Three Pillars of ProofGlenn summarizes his belief in AA's foolproof nature with three points:Total Surrender: If you surrender 100%, it works 100%.Living Proof: He sees it work 100% of the time for the hundreds of successful, active people he "does life" with.The Promise: He adheres strictly to the Big Book's promise that those who thoroughly follow the path rarely fail.Closing Thoughts & DisclaimerThe hosts acknowledge that AA is not the only path—other solutions include alternative recovery programs, counseling, and church. For the "sober curious," they recommend giving AA a try for 90 days or a year.Special Medical Note: The medication Antabuse is briefly mentioned in this episode. Listeners are strongly advised to seek professional medical advice before taking any medications.Conclusion: People may claim AA doesn't work, but for Mike, Glenn, and the hundreds of active, accountable, and service-minded people around them, it is working 100% of the time.

What if the biggest indicator of quality care isn't just what happens in the exam room—but how quickly patients can get there?In this episode of the Coleman Podcast entitled Quality-Flavored Kool-Aid  (you'll find out why!) Megan DeMaagd-Rodriguez, Nurse Practitioner, draws from her experience at a Michigan Federally Qualified Health Center. Megan explains why meeting patients where they are, caring for them when they need you—not weeks or months later—and removing barriers to care leads to better outcomes, stronger patient relationships, and greater trust.If you've ever wondered how improving access can transform quality, strengthen patient loyalty, and reshape the way your team delivers care, this episode is for you. Megan goes beyond the "why" to share the "how," offering practical insights into the workflows, teamwork, and mindset shifts that helped her team at Catherine's create timely access that truly meets patients where they are.Because quality isn't just about what happens during the visit; it's about making sure the visit happens when it matters most.Books Mentioned in this Episode:Mastering Leadership the Coleman Way by Melissa StratmanGuest: Megan DeMaagd-Rodriquez, NP Host: Amanda LaramieThanks for listening!  Check us out on: FacebookInstagramLinkedInOur WebsiteTikTokTwitterYouTube

https://youtu.be/eUqMjIq3r2U Brian Hong, Founder of Infintech Designs, Flowbots.ai, and BigEasyData.ai, is driven to Build AI Revenue Engines that create freedom by helping businesses generate more leads, sales, and revenue while increasing the productivity of their teams. By combining SEO, AI automation, business intelligence, and human expertise, Brian helps companies improve their marketing, systemize their operations, and enhance their people with AI rather than simply replacing them. In this conversation, Brian introduces his Team Building Framework—Attract and Assess A-Players, Productize and Systemize, Hire People Who Can Follow Instructions, and Enhance with AI Capabilities. He explains how placing people in roles where they can thrive creates stronger teams, why clear processes and blueprints make it easier to scale, and how AI can enhance employees by increasing their productivity instead of replacing them. Brian also discusses how SEO is evolving with ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, why businesses need to build brand authority and entity breadth, and how business intelligence can identify the specific areas where AI can create the greatest revenue impact. — Build AI Revenue Engines with Brian Hong  Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and today my guest is Brian Hong, the founder of Infintech Designs, Flowbots.ai, and BigEasyData.ai. These are New Orleans-based companies, including a digital marketing agency, focused on building more leads, more sales, and more exposure online with strategic SEO and digital marketing strategies. Brian, welcome to the show.  Thanks. Thanks for having me.  So you have quite a portfolio. I also read on your LinkedIn page that you invest in other companies, and then you support them as well. So it sounds like you have a lot of irons in the fire. But before we get into all that, my question to you is, what is your personal “Why,” and how are you manifesting it in your business, or businesses?  Why do I work so hard? Why do I want to build all these companies? To me, money creates freedom. I’m trying to bank as many freedom points as I can to live life on my own terms, and to do and have experiences with the people I love. That’s my “Why.”  Wow. How does that manifest in your businesses?  That’s a good question. I'm building AI automation to get my time leverage, to create duplication, so I can 10x the productivity of my employees. Not hire more people, but keep my A-players.Share on X Because if I have an A-team, or can cultivate an A-team, then I think I can bank more freedom points at a more efficient and scalable process. Don’t hire more people. Hire people intentionally, and 10x their productivity. That would be a domino effect to align with gaining more freedom points.  So what’s the maximum number of freedom points? Is it like a 100-point scale? What does it look like to have 100 freedom points?  It’s working because I want to, not because I have to. Because I love working. It’s living life on my own terms and focusing my time on things that I want to do. For instance, I have a house cleaner. I don’t want to clean the house. My time is better spent doing something else that I passionately want or love to do. Unless I loved cleaning houses. That’s fine. Maybe that’s therapeutic for some people. But it allows me to live life on my own terms. Money is the key that unlocks those opportunities to live life on my terms.Share on X  How do you maximize your freedom points? What does it look like when your freedom points are maxed out?  Then I’m working because I want to, not because I have to. I still want to work. I still want to build. I love building things. I’m not the type of guy who wants to go to the beach, sit on the beach, and do nothing all day. I might do that for an hour. I’ve got to be doing something. I have to be building. It’s just the way I’m programmed. Maybe I don’t want to work as much as I do now, but I can’t imagine a life doing nothing. To me, that doesn’t serve a purpose.  Yeah.  I like building. I love contributing. I love being a part of the equation of success. It's just fun to me. I get gratification out of it. I like creating jobs.Share on X I like creating communities. I like meeting people. It’s interesting to me. It fills my bucket. That bucket is filled to then, I mean, try and give me freedom points to then go spend some personal time creating experiences with the people I love, mainly my wife and my child.  That’s amazing. Okay, let me take a step back. You have multiple companies. You have Infintech Designs. You have a couple of AI companies as well. How does that portfolio work?  I essentially do this. I have a construction company as well, TurnKey Renovators, a GC for residential. I have a couple of e-commerce companies. Really, I’m doing the same thing over and over. Earlier in my life, I used to wait tables. My takeaway from that experience, from working at Applebee’s to fine dining, is: How many different dishes can you make with the same ingredients?  With my knowledge, my resources, and my skills, how many different things can I do with them? This is my version of it. All those companies, by the way, I’ve never stroked a check. I pretty much say, “Give me half your company, and I’ll help you grow it.” I’ve never cut a check because I give them what they really want, which is the outcome they want to achieve with that money. They want the money to help grow their company. What if I just help you grow your company?  So I ask for an equal seat at the table, and in exchange, I’ll install what I know and go grow it. I’m essentially doing that over and over. My time is spent on high-level decisions, systems, processes, automation, and marketing.  Yeah. Love it. You know, I always wondered about marketing agencies. If they really know how to grow sales, why are they not doing it for themselves, and why are they offering it to others? It sounds like you are drinking your own Kool-Aid, and you are using your own product.  Yeah. Definitely. We practice what we preach. I see some companies doing that because there’s also an abundance mindset. If I can do it for me, and I can do it for someone else, let me just create another revenue stream and do it for both of us.  Okay. That makes sense. This podcast is all about frameworks. I wonder, what is a framework that you have created or discovered that helps you be effective in what you do, and that you could share with the audience so they might also find a way to leverage it in their business?  I guess it depends on many things. From team building, it may be doing a DiSC Assessment and Kolbe tests to make sure we place each person in a situation where they thrive. Sometimes when things aren’t working, maybe the owner, the manager, or the person needs to look in the mirror and say, “This is my fault, not the employee’s fault.” “I didn’t set them up for success.” “I’m trying to stick a round peg into a square hole.” “I’m trying to put them in a position that they may not thrive in, and they’re not programmed to naturally do.”  So we’ll sometimes do these assessments, whether it’s a personality clash or a personality type, and make sure we place them in a role where they’ll thrive. So that could be a framework. Setting the employee up for success. Once we do have an employee, the better the plan, the better the outcome. So try to productize and systemize everything we do. If we have a blueprint people need to follow, then I can spend more of my time not finding specific talent and skills, but finding people who can follow instructions.  Because if we have the blueprint, and this is what you need to do, then I can get a lower-wage worker who doesn’t have a specialized skill. That specialized skill will be developed because I’m handing you the blueprint of what you need to execute.  So that’s the three-step framework. Set employees up for success by delegating tasks that fit their personality. Then productize and systemize. Then find people who can implement. To what extent does that work in the AI age? Are these people who just execute tasks according to instructions still solving the problems, or is that no longer working because of the fast pace of change?  It depends on what the activity is, but generally, and more often, it’s human enhancement, not human replacement. So instead of saying, “Let’s just say I have a web developer, and I get more business, so I need to hire a second web developer, web designer, programmer, then a third one, then a fourth one.” The new version today is: keep the one you have, and instead of hiring another human, 10x their productivity with an AI-driven solution.  Allow them to do more with less. Allow them to duplicate their activities so they focus on their revenue-generating activities, on the decisions and activities that AI cannot do, as of yet. That’s how we turn an A-player into an A-plus player. That’s how we turn a B-player into an A-player. That prevents me from having to hire people I don’t want working for me, which are C-players.  Isn’t there a risk that when you have too few players, even if they are A-plus, there’s too much dependence on a single person? Well, I mean, we’ll hire more than one. I have a seven-person leadership team. I have two main managers. I have a department head and then an associate, so there’s always some level of duplication. Then you have an AI layer in between that. So between all of that, yes, if someone gets struck by lightning or someone is sick, the ship needs to keep sailing. We can’t shut down the business.  Love it. What is driving growth in your business?  Relationships. SEO. Ranking in LLMs. Google AI Overviews. ChatGPT. I’d say those are the main pillars that are creating opportunities. I also own a conference, rockstarsconference.com. We’re entering our 15th year. That’s network value, positioning of expertise, and relationship building. Things that AI cannot replicate. Human connections. Then I also do SEO for myself, right? Our last handful of leads that came in through Flowbot.ai. This one particularly stands out. There was this roofing company that sent me an email. We actually talked on the phone.  He really blew up my ego and talked about how great I was. I thought he was a referral. I’m like, “Man, why does this person think I’m so great? It’s really odd.” I said, “Can I ask how you heard about me?” He’s like, “Oh, I spent the last two hours talking to Gemini because I discovered you through Google AI Overviews, and it just told me you’re great.” So I’m like, we’re entering a new world. That is a referral. It’s not from someone I know who spoke highly about me. It’s through a language model. Gemini said I was great, so this person believed I was great.  That’s amazing. That’s very cool. So you have these four pillars. I love it. Relationships, SEO, GEO—or whatever AI referrals you want to call it—and the conference. Would you bucket the conference into the same category as relationships, or is that more of a proactive way of creating a community beyond personal relationships? Is it the same thing?  It checks a lot of boxes. A few of my business partners were born out of that conference. New opportunities and getting clients were born out of that. Knowledge gain. Knowledge transfer that I gained to go implement. So it checks all the boxes. I’m gaining knowledge. I’m gaining relationships. I’m gaining partners. I’m gaining new systems. New processes. I’m gaining sparks, catalysts, and kind of tracks to go down and explore. So it kind of checks a lot of boxes.  Yeah. Love it. So the SEO and GEO piece, is it something that is static, or is it dynamically changing all the time?  Dynamically changing. It’s SEO 3.0, right? SEO is dead. It’s dead if you’re doing SEO the old way. Getting ranked in ChatGPT, the LLMs, and Google AI Overviews. Let’s just say it’s everything you do with SEO, plus more now because you have ChatGPT citations. You have sources that these LLMs frequently query. Then, in the world of SEO—the search engine Google—you have broad core updates. Broad core updates. Updates to the algorithm. That’s pretty much what it means.  They also occur within LLMs. So it’s pretty much do SEO, plus more. What is the plus more? If I had to distill it, it’s get brand mentions and actually become a brand. Do podcast interviews like this. Get press releases. Get write-ups. Be on SoundCloud. Do social media. Post on LinkedIn. Get write-ups in news and media publications. Appear in Google News. Have a website that has dynamic content. Create your topical map. The list keeps on going. Build your brand. That’s the SEO of today. That will put you in a position to get mentioned in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.  Yeah. That’s fascinating. I’m just thinking about my business. We had a website that actually got some referrals from AI. We even got some clients last year. Then we split the website into two websites, and things dried up. It was kind of an interesting situation. We still had the same amount of content, but we moved it to a different domain, and it did not register the same way. Do you see that often?  Yeah. You want Google and LLMs, at the most basic level, to have a better understanding of who you are, what you do, where you do it, and the services you offer through having something called breadth of entities. Entities are the nouns of the internet. Entities are a signal. A language. All Wikipedia pages are entities, but not all entities have Wikipedia pages.  They’re the nouns of the internet. It’s a layer of clarity for search engines, algorithms, and LLMs to understand who you are, what you do, and where you do it. It’s not the only signal, but at a foundational layer, that should be implemented. So what we’re talking about is creating content. What does that mean? Create content on your website. Don’t create content for the sake of creating content because anybody can create content with AI.  Create intentional content that satisfies the user and aligns with certain algorithmic components, such as Google's E-E-A-T: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trust.Share on X Everything we’re talking about is SEO. You want optimized content. You want pages. The first 150 to 200 words are important. The last 150 to 200 words are important. Add tables. Add bullet points. Make sure your content is clear. Position yourself with authority.  Have links pointing to it. Interlink it. These are all SEO kinds of activities. So SEO is alive and well, but there are new layers you need to add on top of that to create optimal positioning in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT.  Yeah. I saw one of your videos on your LinkedIn page where you actually explained what is the wrong way to do SEO and the right way to do it. I think you had your alter ego disputing with you. Yeah. That was pretty funny. So that sounds like a lot of work. Can you delegate that to AI agents to do this kind of stuff?  Yes and no. It’s not like I just click a button and step away. It takes a human-in-the-loop system, and that’s what we’ve developed. So yes, I don’t need as many humans, but I still need humans.  So you said that in one of these companies you have 100 AI agents working on SEO, creating SEO impact for your clients. What is it that the AI agents can do, and what is it that you still need the human to do?  The AIs collect information, rapidly digest it, find patterns, perform pattern analysis, do research, and create content briefs. But there needs to be thought leadership. AI is very directional. It’s, “Go do this,” but we need a human to point it in the right direction. We need to create guardrails. We need to create a source of truth. It needs to know where to look for the right information. It needs direction on what to do with this information.  How should I digest it? How should I format it? How should I break up the heading tags? It needs that element where it can go do it, but the human is part of that last-mile conversion. So maybe the AI does zero to 80, and maybe the human does the 80 to 100.  Yeah. That’s very interesting. So what’s one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in your business?  How to automate everything. Everything is a complete agentic workflow that is proactive, not reactive. Where I have a board of advisors every day looking at how they can serve me.Share on X Identifying the patterns in my life that I need to stop doing and they can do. Developing skills, if they don’t have them, to go execute that. Having a feedback loop to constantly improve.  This has become superintelligence. Agentic work, which is kind of here. That’s what maybe some people have heard about: OpenClaw. Then you have something called a Hermes agent. These things are here, but they need to be trained. They need to be fed the right information and given the right guardrails. But it has begun, and I’m trying to go down that journey.  Isn’t that overwhelming to think of all these details, managing these agents, and making sure they’re not going rogue or getting confused by what every one of them is doing?  It’s overwhelmingly exciting, but not overwhelmingly bad, because this is the worst it’s going to be, and it’s mind-blowingly good. It’s overwhelming because it’s so amazing and so awesome. It’s garbage in, garbage out. I am the architect trying to create the blueprint on how to control these agents. To me, that’s incredibly exciting and incredibly amazing. To be a part of this time in history, it’s like that feeling when I dropped out of college and this thing called the internet was born in 2000.  I knew the world wasn’t going to be the same again. That same feeling came again in 2022 when I heard about ChatGPT. I created my first AI company in 2023. I said the world isn’t going to be the same again. I have the same feeling I had in 2000, but times 100. So to me, it’s overwhelming, but overwhelmingly exciting.  Yeah. So what does one do if they want to get, okay, let’s say it’s me. I use ChatGPT actively, but I’m not building AI agents. What would you recommend that I do? How do I even get started?  What is your pain point? Is it communication? Is it writing emails? Is it reporting? It kind of depends, right? You can customize it based on your pain points. Where are you spending your time, and where should you be spending your time?  Yeah. That’s a good question. I think the first question is, what should I even use it for?  I can give you some ideas. A handful of things I use it for, but not limited to. I can give you use cases that we do for other people. So to construction company, inbound and outbound calls. We never miss a phone call. We answer every single one. We qualify the lead. We seamlessly connect to a CRM. We know if it’s a new customer or an existing customer. If it’s an existing customer, we can look at their history. We can now have an intentional conversation through voice.  I can clone that. I can qualify them. I can book the appointment. I can put it on the salesperson’s calendar. I can receive a text message. I can read the message. I can set the salesperson up for success. I can then pull their address. I can then pull their demographics. I know their net income. I know their affinities, their interests, their hobbies. I know whether their house has a pool. I know the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. I know their credit score. I know their disposable income.  My layer of intention is going to be very different if I have all of this data to interact with that person, either through a voice agent, an AI agent through SMS, through email, through voice, or I can pass that information to the salesperson so they know what they’re walking into. They know the opportunity. So we have lead scoring. We have prioritization. That's one thing we could do: taking over your appointment setting and lead qualification.Share on X Then we can create reporting.  Then we can create trend forecasting. We can turn your business into a mathematical equation. We know 10 leads equals 3 appointments, equals 2 shows, equals 1 person who shows up, average ticket $10,000. We know that formula. Then we say, “Well, we need to feed it more.” The math equation is 10 equals $10,000. Whatever that math equation is, that’s the position I want to be in. I want to make data-driven decisions. So AI is an accelerator to achieve that.  What’s at the top of the funnel? Is it advertising?  Yeah. It could be Facebook Ads. Google Ads. SEO. It kind of depends. Do you want expensive and fast, or do you want cheap and slow? Expensive and fast. When I say expensive, I mean cost per acquisition and cost per visibility. That’s going to be Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn, TikTok—anything where you’re buying media. That’s going to be expensive because you have to pay on a per-click basis or a per-impression basis. The cheap and slow is going to be something like SEO.  Do the work now to feel the impact later. It’s signal building. You don’t have to pay on a per-click basis. You don’t have to pay on a per-impression basis. But you have to build signals. Those signals cost money. You have to do the work, but it’s not going to happen overnight. You do the work now to feel it later. It’s an investment. So ideally, you do both. You take a blended cost per acquisition because your SEO channels almost 99% of the time are going to have the lowest cost per acquisition. But speed is going to come from Facebook Ads and Google Ads. So you take the best of both worlds with a blended cost per acquisition.  Is the formula the same for business-to-consumer and business-to-business companies, or is it different?  Yeah. The algorithm doesn’t change. The algorithm is the algorithm. The messaging is different, but it’s the same across the board. The concepts are the same. There are some things, like in medical. Google specifically has something called YMYL—Your Money or Your Life. That’s going to be finance businesses, payday loans, and medical. Those things have a high impact on your life.  So they may have a little more scrutiny, and it might be harder to build trust and validation because of the category you’re in. In that aspect, yeah, the formula is a little bit different. But the activities you engage in are the same. You need to build content. You need to build your brand. You need to build links. You need to optimize your website. You need to create on social media. It’s all the same.  Yeah. Fascinating. So who is the ideal client that you would like to respond to this podcast?  Man, I get asked that, and I’m having more difficulty because I have a lot of companies in my portfolio, right? I have, as of now, about seven companies. I’d say companies that want to automate. Why do you want to automate? The first step of that is maybe building intelligence—business intelligence. You can’t improve what you can’t measure. What if we build a system where maybe you take two steps back to take 10 steps forward?  The two steps back is building business intelligence through AI-driven systems to have segmentation and attribution on exactly what’s happening. How many leads are you getting? Where are they coming from? What is your workflow? Create the math equation. Now we have a measurement. We have a benchmark. Now we can build custom AI agents to say, “This is what we need to focus on first.” So we have our foundational layer, our source of truth.  Maybe that’s a good first step, so you’re not doing a spray and pray. You can say, “Now I know what I need to do. Now I know where my problems are.” Let’s remove the emotion of, “I think.” It now becomes, “I know this is a problem.” Now let’s zoom in and say, “Well, how do we solve this problem?” Are leads the problem? Or is it connecting to the leads? Is it showing up to the appointment? Is it closing the deal? Are we closing deals, but the average ticket is low?  If we close one deal, is it upselling to a second deal? What is the one-year value? Lifetime value? First transaction value? If we don’t know that, then how do we create a math equation of success? How do we know what bucket we need to feed? How do we know where the problem is or isn’t? If we do know where it is, then we can say, “Let’s build a second AI agent.” How do we augment and enhance maybe lead-to-connection rate? Let’s build an SMS agent.  A voice agent. An outbound agent. Let’s build nurture and upsell. Let’s follow up in perpetuity, forever. Let’s tackle that first because we have clear, data-driven insights showing this is a problem. I would say people who want clarity on where their problem is, or maybe they know where their problems are. Then that could be a starting point. So it’s hard for me to answer because I’ve got my hands in so many different buckets.  I’m top of funnel. I’m middle of funnel. I’m bottom of the funnel. I’m top of funnel. Introduction. Brand. Product or service. Google Ads. Facebook Ads. SEO. GEO. I’m middle of funnel. Turning visitors into customers. That’s follow-up AI systems. That’s operational efficiencies. That’s touchpoints. That’s nurturing. I’m bottom of funnel. I’m business intelligence. Segmentation. Attribution. I can help with all stages. I just need to talk to businesses. Businesses that want to grow and generate more revenue. That’s my audience.  Love it. Love it. So if you have a business that wants to grow and generate more revenue, then make sure you check out Brian Hong on LinkedIn. Where else should people go if they want to learn about your companies?  Yeah. I’ve got Brian Hong Digital on Instagram. I’m trying to build my own personal brand. I’m about to relaunch some videos again. I’ve been busy with another acquisition of another marketing agency. I’d say check out the socials or send me an email through Flowbots.ai or InfinTech Design.  Okay. Sounds good. So check out Brian. I mean, that’s pretty amazing. The complexity that you’re managing. Not just the number of companies. The number of investee companies you’re in. The products you’re building. The conferences. It’s kind of mind-boggling how you’re managing that complexity. But I guess you have a couple hundred AI agents at your service. If you’d like to learn more and explore Brian’s products, go to his LinkedIn page.  Then you can connect to his different companies from there.

What do a dangling uterus earring, Fireball sneakers, Jimothy the raccoon, Big Ed comparisons, kidney stones, Kool-Aid conspiracies, and Grimace's imaginary tool belt all have in common? Absolutely nothing... which is exactly why this collection of episodes feels like peak Rizz Show chaos.The gang somehow manages to turn a week of random headlines into comedy gold, starting with Riz's unforgettable week wearing a uterus dangler for charity. That spirals into an over-the-top "In Memoriam" featuring heartfelt (and completely fake) tributes to the Kool-Aid Man, Lake of the Ozarks, Riz's immune system, and the internet's newest four-legged fashion icon, Jimothy the raccoon. Somewhere in there, Bags Against the Machine gets ready to melt faces, and everyone learns that once something becomes a running joke on this show, it's probably never going away.Then it's on to some of the strangest news stories you'll hear all week. Fireball decides sneakers should double as whiskey flasks, Olive Garden pasta dreams are crushed, Motley Crüe somehow survives another unbelievable story from the '80s, Bret Michaels battles kidney stones, and the crew debates whether taking shots out of your shoes is somehow worse than sneaking booze in every other imaginable place. As always, the celebrity gossip takes a hard left into absurd territory before anyone has a chance to act like responsible adults.And because the universe apparently wasn't weird enough already, Riz experiments with a ponytail, immediately gets roasted by the internet, and discovers that reading comment sections is still one of humanity's worst ideas. Long hair, man buns, Big Ed comparisons, family pool disasters, forgotten garden hoses, and enough self-inflicted embarrassment to last a lifetime all become fair game as the crew relentlessly piles on each other the way only lifelong friends can.You'll also get plenty of music talk, pop culture commentary, ridiculous impressions, fake documentaries, strange animal obsessions, celebrity updates, weird news, and the kind of off-the-rails conversations that somehow make perfect sense when you're listening live. Whether they're breaking down bizarre internet trends, roasting each other's life choices, or creating elaborate backstories for mascots that absolutely did not need tragic origin stories, the laughs never stay in one lane for very long.If you love a daily comedy show that bounces between hilarious fails, entertainment gossip, celebrity news, weird internet stories, and completely unnecessary deep dives into topics nobody asked for, you've found your people.

Some episodes are impossible to explain to someone who has never heard The Rizzuto Show. This is definitely one of those.The gang kicks things off celebrating birthdays and Bags Against the Machine before diving headfirst into another legendary edition of the E-Memorials. First up, Riz officially says goodbye to the now-famous uterus "dangler" that he proudly wore for charity all week, and the crew imagines the life-changing emotional growth that came with wearing it. Apparently throw pillows, Pinterest boards, and understanding feelings are all side effects nobody warned him about.Then things somehow get even stranger.The crew unveils a completely fictional—but suspiciously convincing—documentary chronicling the tragic downfall of the Kool-Aid Man. Between orthopedic injuries from smashing through walls, devastating lawsuits, losing custody of Sharkleberry Finn, and eventually contracting the terminal illness known only as "Kool-Aids," it's one of the dumbest things we've ever committed to... which also makes it one of our favorites.Meanwhile, Riz's weekend at Lake of the Ozarks becomes the target of an all-out roast as his immune system is honored in memoriam after surviving questionable water, inflatable tubing, and enough bacteria to qualify as a biological experiment.And then there's Jimothy.The internet-famous raccoon with short spine syndrome officially becomes the hottest fashion icon of the summer as the crew imagines luxury fashion houses redesigning entire collections around his unique look. Somehow Balenciaga, Vogue, and woodland couture all collide into one ridiculous segment that proves absolutely nothing is safe once The Rizzuto Show gets hold of it.You'll also hear celebrity news, real memorials, pop culture commentary, weird internet rabbit holes, and the kind of sarcastic conversations that somehow only make sense after you've listened for a while.Whether you've been listening for years or you're discovering us for the first time, this daily comedy episode is packed with the ridiculous chemistry, quick improvisation, and nonstop laughs that have made The Rizzuto Show a favorite for comedy fans.

The gang starts the morning the only way they know how—immediately making fun of each other. Haircuts become serious business, Halloween planning starts months early, and somehow the conversation turns into whether a Saturday Halloween means society is doomed or simply more opportunities for bad decisions.Then comes one of the strangest stories of the day: a resurfaced TikTok trend has kids channeling the Kool-Aid Man by running through backyard fences. Yes, seriously. The crew debates whether today's version of the Kool-Aid Man sounds more exhausted than enthusiastic, imagines the mascot's depressing off-camera life, and somehow builds an entire fictional cinematic universe around a giant glass pitcher.Things only get weirder from there.A shocking local restaurant embezzlement case sparks a conversation about trust, loyalty, and how someone can allegedly steal over a million dollars while everyone else is just trying to order steak and creamed spinach. Naturally, that evolves into a full-blown discussion about the perfect steakhouse experience, favorite sides, desserts, and whether bread pudding deserves respect or belongs in the trash.Because this is a daily comedy podcast, no topic stays on the rails for very long.The bets continue as old wagers resurface, money changes hands, and Rafe and Rizz revisit one of their ongoing arguments. Meanwhile, Moon offers life lessons, Lern questions everyone's food choices, and the crew proves once again that even paying somebody back can become a comedy segment.Later, everyone dives into a surprisingly relatable discussion about Gen Z avoiding awkward Venmo requests. Why are people afraid to ask friends for money they're owed? The conversation becomes equal parts financial advice, therapy session, and roast of anyone who's ever conveniently "forgotten" to pay someone back after a vacation or concert.If you enjoy a daily comedy podcast packed with ridiculous conversations, hilarious detours, pop culture commentary, local stories, and friends roasting each other without mercy, this episode delivers from beginning to end.Whether you're here for weird news, funny celebrity gossip, Halloween hype, questionable financial decisions, or simply hearing four friends turn everyday headlines into nonstop laughs, this is another classic episode of The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for listening to the daily comedy podcast that proudly proves absolutely everything can become comedy with the right group of idiots around the microphones.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's episode combines three separate journeys into the strange, confusing, and occasionally lubricated corners of modern life—which is another way of saying nobody stopped us from turning on the microphones.First, the show investigates a mime whose behavior allegedly escalated from silently unsettling to stripping down, covering himself in cooking oil, and working out in a public park. Finally, a fitness routine for people who think normal gyms contain entirely too much talking. The crew debates whether mimes belong to the clown family, why painted faces activate the human fight-or-flight response, and whether a silent man glistening in canola oil is somehow more or less threatening than a regular mime. This is the kind of responsible public discussion you expect from a comedy podcast with access to microphones and absolutely no mime-control legislation.Then we enter the Hydration Industrial Complex. Every few years, society apparently selects a new water bottle and collectively decides it is no longer a container—it is a lifestyle, a personality, and possibly a dependent. Stanley, Hydro Flask, Yeti, Owala, CamelBak and the rest of the reusable plastic museum all get examined while the crew admits their cabinets are basically archaeological sites filled with abandoned drinkware. We also learn that some bottles may be washed only through sacred hand-cleaning rituals, while others were free promotional items that now hold pens because even hydration has winners and losers.The chaos continues with a round of music Jeopardy that immediately proves knowing a song and understanding the rules of Jeopardy are two completely different qualifications. There are arguments over buzzing in, demanding answers in the form of a question, and whether anyone involved should ever be trusted to host a nationally syndicated game show. Match Up with Moon delivers even more academic excellence as the crew attempts to identify the “stinking rose,” explain what MBA stands for, and survive trivia questions clearly designed by someone with a personal grudge.From there, we travel to Ellisville, where a resurfaced social media trend has teenagers crashing through vinyl fences while yelling like the Kool-Aid Man. Because apparently the newest generation looked at expensive property damage and thought, “This could use branding.” The crew explores the Kool-Aid challenge, the surprisingly inflation-resistant price of Kool-Aid packets, the many voices behind the famous pitcher, and whether suburban homeowners should begin painting designated impact zones on their fences.There's also Halloween planning, questionable zombie game-show-host costumes, haircut anxiety, celebrity chaos, nostalgia, strange history, and enough pop culture commentary to make this daily comedy feel like scrolling the entire internet while five sarcastic people yell from inside your phone.It's a comedy podcast about mimes, hydration, trivia, Halloween, viral stupidity and the comforting realization that no matter how strange your day has been, at least you probably didn't cover yourself in cooking oil and silently do lunges near a hiking trail.Unless you did. In that case, please stop following people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Ellisville police link weekend fence vandalism to resurfaced TikTok challengeEx-Sam's Steakhouse manager sentenced to prison for embezzlementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
