#1001 What happens when a 25-year hospitality veteran gets furloughed during COVID and finally goes all-in on the dream he's been talking about for years? You get Catalyst Hot Dogs — a Jersey-style hot dog joint taking the DMV by storm! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with founder Chris Van Jura, who shares how he launched during the pandemic with a GoFundMe, a beat-up cart discovered in a church parking lot, and an all-beef hot dog so good, it became the heart of his brand. Chris breaks down how he scaled from one cart outside a Home Depot to multiple trailers, a staff, university partnerships, and a soon-to-open brick-and-mortar location. From sourcing premium franks to mastering social media marketing (and settling whether a hot dog is a sandwich), this is the real, gritty journey of turning a simple idea into a thriving business — one dog at a time!

The standard infertility timeline does not apply to every patient. When should infertility counseling begin, and when is it risky to wait? OBGYN Dr. Nicole Faulkner and REI specialist Dr. Jennifer Kulp Makarov discuss how age, irregular cycles, endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, and male factor infertility should shape counseling and referral decisions on this week's episode of the BackTable Women's Health. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction02:37 - Launching a New Practice04:23 - When to Refer Patients06:23 - Basic Infertility Workup08:39 - Counseling Patients Over 4014:05 - Personalized IVF Protocols17:59 - Embryology and PGT-A23:54 - Egg Preservation Timing28:20 - Using Frozen Embryos Later31:36 - Components of Personalized IVF33:30 - Patient Experience and Education37:25 - Alternative Fertility Options40:46 - Approaching Recurrent Miscarriage42:28 - Key Takeaways --- More about this episode Dr. Kulp Makarov reviews when patients should be referred to an REI based on age, while emphasizing that earlier referral is appropriate for patients with irregular cycles, endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, or known male factor infertility. Although anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) testing can be a useful initial assessment, it should not delay specialist evaluation. The discussion also explores how advances in reproductive medicine have expanded fertility treatment options. Dr. Kulp Makarov highlights personalized IVF protocols, embryo banking, and preimplantation genetic testing, while emphasizing both the benefits and limitations of these approaches. She also shares practical guidance on egg freezing, pregnancy in the mid-40s, and when donor eggs, gestational carriers, or other fertility treatment options may be appropriate. Finally, she explains how REIs approach the evaluation and management of recurrent pregnancy loss. --- BackTable Women's Health is the go-to podcast for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals focused on women's health.

Anika sat down with Deanna Dolecki and Ashley Ruggeri to explore how they built a thriving, 100% virtual boutique agency by leaning into radical authenticity. The conversation revealed how their Gen X and Millennial dynamic fuels their strategy, why hiring for intangibles matters more than a resume, and how they cut through the digital noise with unscripted banter on their podcast, Ducks Unplugged.In This EpisodeThe origin story of Blue Duck Agency and how a "no-meeting Wednesday" led to a radical rebrandWhy Deanna hires for "intangibles" and how asking about high school grades reveals a candidate's true characterAshley's transition from buttoned-up banking to thriving in the "gray area" of agency lifeLaunching the Ducks Unplugged podcast as a business strategy and creative testing groundHow Gen X and Millennial perspectives complement each other in leadership and marketing strategyThe truth about hustle culture and how different generations brand their work ethicWhy generative AI (like Deanna's ChatGPT, "Janice") is a tool, not a replacement for human creativityBrainstorming on the fly: Pushing boundaries with brands like Netflix and TupperwareTimestamps00:00 Introduction: Building businesses around radical authenticity 01:42 The origins of Blue Duck Agency and diverse career paths 05:24 Hiring for the "gray area" and the importance of intangibles 10:10 Launching the Ducks Unplugged podcast to differentiate the agency 18:48 The Gen X and Millennial dynamic: Bridging the generational gap 23:24 The Blue Duck rebrand: Standing out in a sea of yellow ducks 26:51 The "hustle culture" rebrand and generational work ethics 36:31 Balancing radical honesty with professional boundaries and real-time feedback41:25 Generative AI in marketing: Why human creativity still wins 45:36 Pitching Netflix a "binge pass" and other pop-culture brand moments 50:48 Favorite quotes and life mantrasKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Authenticity is a Differentiator In a crowded agency landscape where everyone offers similar services, clients buy the people. Creating unscripted, imperfect content like Ducks Unplugged lets prospects experience the team's chemistry, humor, and problem-solving skills before they ever book a discovery call. Perfect polish is out; relatable authenticity is in.Insight 2: Hire for Intangibles Over Resumes Resumes get you in the door, but character keeps you in the room. By asking candidates to talk through their intentions and past choices—even going back to high school—you learn how they navigate challenges, communicate, and fit into a remote, tight-knit culture.Insight 3: Generational Differences Are a Strategic Asset The contrast between Gen X (Deanna) and Millennial (Ashley) perspectives creates richer marketing strategies. Instead of clashing, these diverse viewpoints—from how they view hustle culture to how they consume media—ensure that campaigns resonate across different age demographics.Insight 4: AI is a Tool, Not a Strategy While generative AI is great for efficiency and thought starters, it cannot replace human experience. Relying too heavily on AI leads to homogenized marketing where everyone sounds the same. The human element, drawn from real-world experience and cultural nuance, is what makes campaigns actually convert.Insight 5: Embrace the "Gray Area" Having team members who thrive in the gray—testing, trying, and innovating without a guaranteed outcome—is crucial for an agency's evolution. Not every podcast segment or marketing test will work (like a blind dating show for marketing channels), but giving your team the freedom to test is how you find the strategies that stick.Resources & Links MentionedBlue Duck AgencyDucks Unplugged PodcastDirect Mail Marketing (and why it's making a comeback)About Deanna Dolecki & Ashley RuggeriDeanna Dolecki is the President of Blue Duck Agency, a boutique female-founded marketing agency.

Robert Patton is the Founder and CEO of SHEATH, a premium men's underwear brand he conceived while serving as a U.S. Army Sergeant in the scorching heat of the Iraqi desert.

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Cathy Cohne, fifth generation at Melrose Lumber Co. in Austin, New York. The company was founded in 1922 by Cathy's great-great-grandfather, and when he passed away early, his wife, a Russian immigrant with no English, stepped in and kept the doors open during the Depression. That grit runs through the whole story. The family later operated Manhattan Lumber Company in the city before New York's Urban Renewal program purchased the location, and a fire in the 1960s forced a move from the Melrose section of the Bronx to where they are today. Cathy grew up in the business. If she wasn't in school, she was stocking shelves, helping customers, and making sure everything looked right. She went on to earn a business degree with a minor in marketing and later an MBA, always with the family business in the back of her mind. After COVID, she stepped fully into a leadership role alongside her dad, and the two manage the operation together with her mom handling the books. Melrose Lumber Co. is about 70 percent lumber and the rest hardware, essentially a miniature home center. They carry plywood, dimensional lumber, Douglas fir, pressure treated, cedar, PSLs, LVLs, and a full hardware selection. Cathy walks through the realities of sourcing from major suppliers, fielding quotes by phone and email, and competing with the big box stores on price while offering something they never will: real customer service and a personal touch. A big chunk of the conversation centers on marketing and staying current. Cathy launched an e-commerce website in October and has been working with a media company on SEO for about a decade. The data from those efforts is already shaping how she runs the physical store. When analytics showed that walking sticks were the number one search keyword, she stuffed the rack full and let foot traffic do the rest. She also talks about the early days of AI-generated quoting, her hesitation to give up control, and how ChatGPT started sending brand new customers through her door during an ice dam season. The conversation touches on COVID-era challenges, the shift from cedar everything to more economical Douglas fir as budgets tightened, fuel surcharges driving up order minimums, and the balancing act of inventory management when you refuse to run out but also refuse to overstock. Cathy's philosophy is simple: stay organized, stay efficient, and listen to what customers are actually asking for. Tune in, be inspired, and don't forget to follow the Woodpreneur Podcast.

SpaceX Starship Flight 13 is launching 20 next-generation Starlink satellites that are designed to burn up in the atmosphere shortly after deployment. Advanced hardware with laser interconnects and complex deployment mechanisms, built to operate for minutes and then turn to ash. It sounds like an engineering paradox. It isn't. This episode explains why.We break down the full Starship Flight 13 flight profile and what SpaceX is actually testing. This mission continues the Version 3 architecture that debuted on Flight 12, and the fixes SpaceX made after that flight tell you everything about where the program actually stands.What went wrong on Flight 12: at stage separation, slight differences in engine startup timing caused the Super Heavy booster to flip roughly 90 degrees off axis. Then during the boostback burn, 5 of the 33 Raptor engines failed to relight, ending the burn early. The booster survived, but barely. Also covered in this Starship Flight 13 breakdown:Why 20 Starlink satellites are being deployed just to be destroyed, and what data they capture firstThe heat shield tiles painted white on purpose to create visible flaws for camera calibrationWhy Starship is intentionally flying at higher dynamic pressure (max Q) than any previous flight, and what breaking the vehicle would proveThe in-space Raptor relight, and why restarting an engine in zero gravity is a fluid dynamics nightmareThe landing flip and the three-engine to two-engine to one-engine descent sequenceWhat the Indian Ocean splashdown means for the programThe through-line is an engineering philosophy that values extreme stress testing over cautious preservation. SpaceX is building this system by intentionally finding out exactly where it breaks. If this is the stress they apply to an uncrewed test vehicle, the safety margins they're building for crewed flights are the real story.Subscribe for more Starship coverage, SpaceX flight breakdowns, and AI and technology news.

New Patron Show: BB Mailbag Big Brother 28 gets a fresh twist this week as power players and underdogs scramble for control in a complicated house dynamic. Hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong launch a BB mailbag episode, inviting analysis of everyone's win equity and the outlook for this season's alliances, nominations, and social shifts. This episode dives deep into updated odds for each houseguest to win, using a percentage-based model that tracks shifting fortunes throughout the game. HoH, Veto wins, and the blockbuster competition play key roles in shaping who's safe and who's on the ropes. Early game alliances form between returnees like Angela, Barrett, and Devens, while new players like Kamu, Lyric, and Mallory try to build their own networks. Social strategy is a hot topic, with discussions on how houseguests navigate first-week nominations, campaign their way off the block, and respond to the ever-changing structure created by new comps like the blockbuster and AI arena twists. Taran Armstrong explains how Dee and Devens work the middle, balancing fake and real alliances, but warns there's a risk when both sides realize they're being played. The hosts debate whether being saved by the blockbuster or by votes actually offers the best path forward for block nominees. Win equity estimates show Dee, Devens, and Barrett leading the pack, but with most pre-jury odds still in the single digits. Social dynamics become less toxic as new comp mechanics let block nominees keep hope alive—and keep alliances flexible. The blockbuster and evolving game structure mean even under-the-radar players like Ashley, Taylor, or Yash could flip the house around with the right comp win. The power structure is far from settled, with alliances, threats, and comp results changing day to day. Will Dee and Devens keep their tight grip, or is a big shakeup coming if ‘outsiders' band together against the returnees? Tune in for the full strategic breakdown.

Hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong launch a BB mailbag episode, inviting analysis of everyone's win equity and the outlook for this season's alliances, nominations, and social shifts. This episode dives deep into updated odds for each houseguest to win, using a percentage-based model that tracks shifting fortunes throughout the game. HoH, Veto wins, and the blockbuster competition play key roles in shaping who's safe and who's on the ropes. Early game alliances form between returnees like Angela, Barrett, and Devens, while new players like Kamu, Lyric, and Mallory try to build their own networks. Social strategy is a hot topic, with discussions on how houseguests navigate first-week nominations, campaign their way off the block, and respond to the ever-changing structure created by new comps like the blockbuster and AI arena twists. Taran Armstrong explains how Dee and Devens work the middle, balancing fake and real alliances, but warns there's a risk when both sides realize they're being played. The hosts debate whether being saved by the blockbuster or by votes actually offers the best path forward for block nominees. Win equity estimates show Dee, Devens, and Barrett leading the pack, but with most pre-jury odds still in the single digits. Social dynamics become less toxic as new comp mechanics let block nominees keep hope alive—and keep alliances flexible. The blockbuster and evolving game structure mean even under-the-radar players like Ashley, Taylor, or Yash could flip the house around with the right comp win. The power structure is far from settled, with alliances, threats, and comp results changing day to day. Will Dee and Devens keep their tight grip, or is a big shakeup coming if ‘outsiders' band together against the returnees? Tune in for the full strategic breakdown.

After more than 400 episodes across eight years, Corey Kupfer launches a new quarterly roundtable with his law firm partners Brian Meegan and Sara Mostafa (together representing roughly 90 years of combined deal experience) to unpack why the projected 2026 M&A boom has not fully arrived, revisit the negotiation tactics behind the 1951 Korean War armistice, and share parting wisdom for business owners in a slower market. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer launches a new quarterly roundtable format with his law firm partners, Brian Meegan and Sara Mostafa. Brian has been a partner for several years. Sara joined this year as the newest partner. Together the three represent about 90 years of combined deal experience across M&A, capital raises, cross-border transactions, and wealth management. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN You'll discover why the pent-up M&A demand projected for 2026 has not materialized as expected, how a Virginia-focused fund is challenging the assumption that acquisitions drain leadership talent out of state, and why wealth management continues to run counter to the broader slowdown. Brian and Sara explain what a $60 billion all-stock transaction involving AnySphere signals about AI M&A, what the 1951 Korean War armistice negotiations still teach modern dealmakers, and how a post-Soviet Russian deal turned on cultural understanding rather than a legal provision. THE FIRM'S JOURNEY TO A QUARTERLY ROUNDTABLE The DealQuest Podcast has run for eight years and passed 400 episodes with a rhythm of three guest interviews followed by a solocast. Brian Meegan joined the firm a few years ago as a partner and has appeared on the show as a guest a couple of times. Sara Mostafa joined this year as the newest partner and has also appeared as a guest since coming on board. With three partners now representing roughly 90 years of combined deal experience, Corey launched this quarterly roundtable to talk deals openly, share what each partner is seeing across their practice areas, and introduce a new Deals in History segment. DEALS IN HISTORY Brian opened the first installment of Deals in History with the 1951 Korean War armistice negotiations, which contained nearly every classic tactic anyone has ever written about. The North Koreans picked up the UN delegation in cars carrying white flags, used higher chairs to gain physical advantage, and pushed multi-meeting standoffs over table shape and flag size. At one point both sides sat in complete silence for over two hours, refusing to move on a single boundary point. The full negotiation spanned roughly 160 meetings across two and a half years, and the document that resulted is not a peace treaty. It is a ceasefire that has held since the end of the war. KEY INSIGHTS The pent-up 2026 M&A demand has not arrived. Energy price disruption, interest rate uncertainty, and other macro conditions have kept the big bump from showing up. Deal flow remains active, but both Brian and Sara noted a less frenetic pace toward closing. Wealth management remains a meaningful exception, with private equity capital and succession pressure keeping RIA deal flow robust. Outside wealth management, Sara is seeing active smaller and mid-market activity, especially for targets that have successfully integrated AI into operations. Andrew Dunlap's Virginia-focused fund is a useful counterweight to the standard acquisition narrative. He shared with Corey that 82 percent of Virginia acquisition buyers were from out of state, and top leadership talent tends to relocate with the new HQ. His commitment is to keep businesses local, in a mini Berkshire Hathaway style approach. Cultural understanding often matters more than a specific legal provision. Corey shared a story from the early 1990s, just after the Soviet Union fell, when a Russian counterparty refused to sign a standard non-circumvention agreement as a matter of deeply held belief. Corey structured around it by locking up non-circumvention agreements with the US suppliers directly, and closed the deal. There is a deal for almost any business frustration, challenge, or opportunity. Corey's parting wisdom points to acquihires, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and white labeling as underused options. Brian added Jim Collins' 2009 line to never waste a good recession. Sara closed with practical guidance for women-owned and minority-owned business owners to seek community and specialized funds beyond the SBA. Perfect for entrepreneurs weighing M&A moves right now, wealth management and RIA professionals tracking deal flow, and anyone interested in how experienced deal lawyers read the market quarter to quarter.

What if the secret to getting everything you want is simply having the nerve to ask for it? In episode 269 of Joy Found Here, Dr. Jen Fry shares how a career built on bold requests carried her from college volleyball coaching to becoming a sports geographer, tech founder, and conflict literacy expert.

Are you exhausted from being a content factory for social media, spending hours crafting captions and visuals only to feel like you're speaking into a void? What if there were a far more direct, potent path to attracting aligned clients that actually plays to your natural strengths?In this episode, Kathryn builds on last week's stupid-simple selling strategy by introducing another low-effort, high-impact approach — one designed specifically for people who come alive in conversation rather than content creation. The core tension is real: most entrepreneurs default to social media because it feels safe, but that safety is precisely what keeps them hidden from the clients they most want to serve.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● Why showing up on podcasts and in other people's communities can rapidly expand your reach far beyond daily social media posting — especially when you get strategic about choosing audiences that already represent your ideal buyers rather than just blasting onto every show that will have you.● How adding a back-end invitation to your talks, workshops, or podcast appearances — like a personalized self-assessment followed by a short conversation — creates the friction that filters for high-intent buyers and dramatically shortens the gap between awareness and sale.● Why the passive lead-generation tactics most entrepreneurs rely on, like freebies, quizzes, and opt-ins, signal low buyer intent — and how shifting toward direct, conversation-based follow-up steps can help you land clients faster with far less content creation overhead.● How social media creates a false sense of productivity that keeps entrepreneurs busy but hidden, and why strategies like pitching podcasts or submitting proposals on platforms like Upwork can land high-ticket clients in minutes rather than months.---And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Launching into a new portion of the Tent Talk Summer Reading Series, Nancy begins reading from Chapter 7, Appropriation, in The Green Letters by Miles J. Stanford. She unpacks the difference between merely admiring biblical truth and actually appropriating it by faith into daily life. Drawing from Ephesians, Philippians, Isaiah, and the writings of T. Austin-Sparks, Nancy reminds listeners that everything needed for life in Christ has already been provided. The Father's work is to patiently form those realities into our character over time. Sharing a personal story of how The Green Letters profoundly shaped her own journey, Nancy encourages listeners to embrace the lifelong process of spiritual formation, trusting God to make His truth an abiding reality rather than simply admired knowledge.

Justin Mares built Kettle & Fire into one of the best known bone broth brands in the country. Then he walked away from it to go after something a lot less exciting on paper: the red tape standing between Americans and the preventive health products that actually keep them well. His new company, Truemed, gives people a simple way to use money they already have set aside for health on things like workouts, better food, and sleep, instead of letting it sit unused or only get spent once they're already sick.Alisa Cohn, executive coach and author of From Start-up to Grown-up, sits down with Justin to talk about why he left a thriving consumer brand to go build something in one of the most regulated, paperwork heavy industries there is. You'll hear how he tests ideas before he feels ready, how he hires for real mission alignment, why he chose venture capital this time around after largely bootstrapping Kettle & Fire, and how he still wrestles with imposter syndrome four companies in.You'll learn:Justin Mares walked away from Kettle & Fire, one of the best known bone broth brands in the country, to go build Truemed instead.Launching an imperfect product, like Justin's ghost landing page for Kettle and Fire built on $500 of ads, beats waiting for a perfect one.Justin chose venture capital over bootstrapping Truemed after growing Kettle and Fire to hundreds of millions in revenue on less than $10 million raised.Hiring your first five to ten people purely for mission alignment shapes every hire that follows, including Truemed's best employee, who found the company through Justin's newsletter.Andreessen Horowitz brought Truemed access to founders and operators that a bootstrapped CEO could never reach cold, well beyond the capital itself.Justin still deals with imposter syndrome after twelve years and four companies, and uses a specific reframe to move from doubt into action.Justin believes startups are fundamentally momentum games, and wishes he had learned to trust his own judgment earlier in his career.We talk about:00:00 Justin Mares introduces Truemed and its preventive health mission00:29 Why Kettle and Fire exposed how expensive prevention really is02:37 The red tape problem hiding inside health savings accounts04:43 Why Justin pivoted from consumer products into fintech07:39 What Truemed tested before writing a line of code09:54 Why an ugly MVP still proved real customer demand14:21 How Truemed built its first team around mission alignment19:37 Why Justin chose venture capital over staying bootstrapped24:39 What Andreessen Horowitz brought beyond the check29:00 Why the MAHA movement matters for chronic disease39:38 How Justin worked through his hardest founder decisions43:57 What Justin wishes he had known earlier as a founderFollow Justin onLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinmares/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justin.mares Website: https://justinmares.com/ Connect with Alisa!Follow Alisa Cohn on Instagram: @alisacohnTwitter: @alisacohnFacebook: facebook.com/alisa.cohnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisacohn/Website: http://www.alisacohn.comDownload her 5 scripts for delicate conversations (and 1 to make your life better) Grab a copy of From Start-Up to Grown-Up by Alisa Cohn from Amazon

AI for sales is everywhere right now, but most of it is noise. This episode is about what actually works: AI sales coaching that lives inside a rep's daily workflow instead of sitting unused in a Google Drive.After 18 months of building, Dave, Luigi and Regan officially launch CoachPilot on this episode of Revenue Leaders. It's the AI coaching layer that sits on top of your CRM and coaches every rep on every deal, live.The three of them have spent decades in sales, built hundreds of playbooks, and onboarded over 200 SDRs for companies like Stripe. They kept hitting the same wall: even the best playbook fails because it never lives in the rep's daily workflow. CoachPilot is their answer.What you'll learn:→ Why the number one problem in every sales org is adherence to the sales process, not talent→ The playbook problem: why even great playbooks end up sitting unused→ What a day in the life with CoachPilot looks like: morning briefings, live call coaching, post-call CRM updates→ The live coaching sidebar that prompts you on objections, pacing, and talk ratio mid-call→ Why they built their own call recorder instead of integrating with existing tools→ The four IP layers: forecast score, coaching score, deal score, and methodology score→ Gartner's 2.8x revenue stat: why action-based AI paired with humans beats AI alone→ Why AI can't replace sellers in complex, multi-stakeholder deals→ The 50% unapproved AI usage problem inside sales teams and why governance matters→ Who CoachPilot is NOT for: the honest ICP conversation most founders avoidWhether you're a founder, sales leader, or rep, this is a rare inside look at why three sales veterans killed their own consulting business model to build a product.⭐ Learn more about CoachPilot: https://coachpilot.comFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/davidfastuca/https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigiprestinenzi/https://www.linkedin.com/in/reganbarker/https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidfastuca/

Taking action in your business feels deeply vulnerable. There is an inherent risk and emotional exposure that comes with launching, promoting, or trying anything new in business, and it's normal to be scared as you move forward. Launches often feel like an emotional rollercoaster, especially if you're an online business owner who started strong but hit a wall of disappointment when results don't match your expectations. That's the "expectation gap," aka, the danger of getting stuck in passive "learning mode" instead of taking action. Tracking real metrics (conversion rates, leads, close rates) can help you separate genuine performance issues from unrealistic hopes. But ultimately, there are no guarantees in business—only the choice to keep showing up, invest in yourself, tolerate risk, and trust the process—because action, not certainty, is what actually moves a business forward.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.
