On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show, Wayne Kimmel interviewed the Founder of Snapback Sports, Jack Settleman.Settleman explains how Snapback Sports was built on a simple yet powerful idea — highlighting the unique stories and experiences that make college football special. Rather than focusing solely on scores or highlights, Snapback brings fans inside the energy of the game day experience — the food, the traditions, the local culture, and the community that fuels it all.Settleman and Kimmel explore how Snapback's business model emphasizes authenticity and connection over pure scalability. Settleman shares that the brand's success stems from community engagement — building meaningful relationships with fans, athletes, and creators alike. This people-first approach, he notes, has been key to sustaining growth while preserving the spirit of what makes sports content fun and relatable.Settleman discusses his new trivia app, which has quickly gained traction among users for its interactivity and community-driven design. The app represents Snapback's expansion into new formats, offering fans another way to engage with sports in real time while staying true to the brand's identity. He also opens up about connecting personally with athletes, emphasizing that behind the fame and fandom, many of them share the same struggles, aspirations, and love for the game as their audience. This human connection has been essential to the content Snapback produces, making it both entertaining and deeply relatable.Looking ahead, Jack shares his vision for the future of Snapback Sports — expanding the brand's reach, deepening community connections, and exploring new collaborations that push the boundaries of sports media.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Snapback Sports and Jack Settleman02:41 Exploring Unique College Football Experiences06:16 The Business Model Behind Snapback Sports09:09 Launching the Trivia App: A New Venture12:18 Connecting with Athletes and Creators14:21 The Importance of Community Engagement18:11 Unique Stories from College Football22:49 Jack's Entrepreneurial Journey28:58 Future Plans and Collaborations33:21 Mentorship and Influences in Jack's CareerJack Settleman:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-settleman-424a73b1/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacksettleman/X: https://x.com/jacksettleman

~ This season of Avant Gardeners is proudly supported by Blundstone's new series WorkLife. Launching in November and perfect for gardening. Find your local stockist here. ~ Tim Pilgrim has become synonymous with his own naturalistic style of garden design, one that's plant-driven and subscribes to the maximalist aesthetic.  With gardening in his blood, and after working at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, he returned home to work on one of the Digger's Club's most famous gardens, St Erth.  Tim and his wife Hadley started TP Gardens back in 2013, and since then he's worked on some of the most jaw-dropping gardens in the country including Du Fermier in Trentham, Paul Bangay's Stonefields and at Bress, a biodynamic winery in the Central Victorian goldfields.  Tim's debut book Wild By Design has recently been released, shooting straight to the best sellers list. And deservedly so.  Tim draws his inspiration from the beauty of wild landscapes and other creative gardening minds.  Tim lives, gardens and designs on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, sharing his home with his wife, and three young sons.  Before we get to Tim's chat, we're drinking Walnut Liqueur made from green walnuts macerated with alcohol - a Slovenian specialty. Emily is going great guns with her seeds - rudbeckia, violas, edamame. Her orchard understory is blooming with cornflowers, walking onions, rosemary, thyme, wormwood, queen anne's lace, cosmos, calendula, and strawberries! The sorrel is still a pest. Emily's loving Banskia (it's giving May Gibbs vibes). Maddie recommends growing Correa Alba from cuttings. Maddie + Emily did a beautiful bushwalk - the Freycinet Circuit, and picked up reading tips from our very great mate Franzi. Emily's recommending Platypus Spinach from Dimity May at Tiny Farm Tas.  Maddie wants baby lamb energy, vs tired mutton energy. Maddie's trying to grow shelling peas, and has made a huge (although not catastrophic) mistake with her flannel flowers. And we're trying to manifest Juvenile Grandma phase. Thanks!

Launching a podcast isn't just a challenge for hosts—it's a strategic endeavor that demands meticulous planning, creative marketing, and intentional execution. Just like building a podcast from scratch, becoming a podcast guest requires the same level of strategic thinking and preparation if you want to transform random appearances into meaningful opportunities.  Most entrepreneurs mistakenly treat podcast guesting as a casual networking tactic, showing up without a game plan and hoping for magical results that never materialize. The truth is, every podcast appearance is a potential launchpad for your brand, credibility, and business growth—but only if you approach it with the same rigor and intentionality you would a full podcast launch.  Forget the spray and pray method of guesting; what you need is a targeted, systematic approach that turns each interview into a strategic stepping stone for expanding your reach and attracting ideal clients. Listen and discover… Why guesting without a launch plan is costing you visibility and leads. The one thing top-converting guests do before they ever hit record. How to stop winging interviews and start leading them with intention. The simple shift that turns a podcast appearance into a profit pipeline. How to build a guesting system that books, converts, and compounds. Why your topic might be repelling hosts — and what to do instead. The overlooked strategy that makes your stories sound natural and strategic. How to create momentum from every guest appearance (instead of one-and-done). The missing piece between "visibility" and "ROI" when it comes to podcasting. How to launch your guesting presence like pros launch their shows.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and EO Radio Show episode 141 is a refresh of episode 37, covering key questions to ask when thinking about launching a new charitable organization. Recently, I've seen a surge in interest from clients who want to incorporate a new charity. At the same time as I'm recording this episode, the federal government is still in shutdown. The IRS recently announced on October 21 that during the lapse in appropriations, applications for determination letters for tax-exempt status will not be processed. Even before the shutdown, applications had slowed. Generally, they could take a year or more to be processed. We have been seeing straightforward grant-making foundation applications being processed in about four months. Very small organizations with budgets of less than $50,000 and using Form 1023 EZ, we're getting their IRS determination letters a little bit quicker than the current state of play, but those organizations with substantial budgets had to plan on a long lead time before getting their IRS determination letter. Some new organizations will be comfortable beginning operations before the IRS letter is received, and that is feasible if there are grant funds available that are not dependent on that IRS determination letter. But for new charities that are depending on substantial contributions from individuals, grants from private foundations, or gifts from donor-advised funds, that IRS determination letter becomes more important.  So, with all that being said, it is more important than ever for today's founders to carefully consider all the requirements for the startup of a new charity so that they can launch it as quickly as possible. This episode covers key questions to ask when considering forming a new nonprofit. In addition to the tax compliance concerns, there are also state law requirements and practical considerations to think about.

My journey to becoming a published author wasn't as glamorous as I expected. After going all-in on the launch of Be Seen, I experienced the highs and lows of the process: launch burnout, unexpected struggles, and an intense learning curve. But despite the challenges, writing a book has been one of the most fulfilling experiences I've had.   Now, two years later, I've gained invaluable perspective on what it takes to keep a book alive beyond its launch, and I'm here to share it all with you. I'll teach how to balance your energy, manage expectations, and keep your book's message alive long after the launch.  Whether you're thinking about writing a book or are in the middle of your own launch, this episode will save you time, energy, and frustration by shedding light on the behind-the-scenes reality of being an author.  "You will get bad reviews.

There's zero doubt, Absolute Batman Annual #1 will be one of the year's most talked-about comics. Featuring three stories by Daniel Warren Johnson, Mike Spicer, James Harren, Dave Stewart, Meredith McClaren, and Clayton Cowles, this hefty comic centers on the early Absolute Universe adventures of Bruce Wayne, revealing how that chonky Batmobile came to be, and just how Black Mask's party animals first encountered the Dark Knight. We read the comic a couple of weeks back, and the instant we flipped that last page, we were compelled to get Daniel Warren Johnson into a Zoom room. Thankfully, he obliged. Johnson's untitled story makes up the bulk of the Absolute Batman Annual. It propels Absolute Batman against a white supremacist horde, showcasing some of the most brutal action from the ongoing series so far, while doing so in a way that questions that violence's effectiveness. As Daniel Warren Johnson has showcased in other comics like Murder Falcon, Do a Powerbomb!, and his recent run on Transformers, badass, jaw-dropping visuals are only half his might as a creator. DWJ breaks hearts as often as he breaks bones. “It's in my blood and it's boiling, and I have to get it out.” In an exclusive conversation with Comic Book Couples Counseling, Johnson explains how his tale in the Absolute Batman Annual came to pass. We discuss his reluctance to contribute to the world so expertly crafted by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, and how one single image eventually caused him to put everything he had into this character and universe. Daniel Warren Johnson tells us why supplying only compelling, catastrophic action isn't enough for him as a storyteller. He requires more than an exclamation point to climax his stories. He needs a question. Absolute Batman Annual is now available from DC Comics. Make sure you're following Daniel Warren Johnson on Blue Sky, Instagram, and his Website.

Dear Wonderful Readers,It's the moment many of you have been patiently waiting for: The Intimacy Journal is officially live on Kickstarter!

Turning your consulting or coaching expertise into a product, program, or technology that customers will pay for sounds exciting, but making that shift is not just a minor tweak. It is a complete business transformation that affects everything: • Your offers • Your messaging • Your marketing • Your value proposition • Your entire path to scale If you are feeling the grind of constantly chasing clients or working one on one with no room to grow, you might be craving more scale, more impact, and maybe even some passive revenue. That is when the idea of a product based business starts calling. Here is the truth that many consultants overlook. Switching from services to products can be incredibly rewarding if it is the right move for you and if it is done in the right way. That is why in this episode we are talking with Calvin Williams, an industrial engineer turned operations and continuous improvement leader who built a successful consulting business and then transformed it into Improver, a subscription based software platform that helps companies strengthen continuous improvement cultures at scale. In this conversation Calvin shares both sides of his journey: Corporate leader to independent consultant Consultant to tech and product founder You will walk away with real world insight on what it takes to productize your expertise, build with your strengths, and choose the business model that truly fits you. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The strengths you need to succeed as a product creator Ways to reduce risk and ramp into entrepreneurship wisely How to apply Lean thinking to evolving your business When technology + coaching is the winning combo The mindset shift required to scale beyond client hours Where To Dive In: (00:00) Turning Consulting Expertise Into Product-Based Business(11:46) Entrepreneurship and Consulting Transition(18:02) Launching a Consulting Business Successfully(23:45) Embracing Entrepreneurial Mindset and Growth(31:57) Evolution of Lean Manufacturing Software(39:55) Continuous Improvement and Business Success(44:05) Building a Product-Based Business Model(51:47) Product vs. Service Mindset in Business(56:21) Maximizing Business Potential Through Continuous Improvement(01:02:41) Exploring Potential Business Opportunities Other episodes you may enjoy: Episode 120: Positioning Your Consulting Business for the Right Clients Episode 122: What No One Tells You About Sustaining Success as a Solopreneur About the guest: Calvin Williams is the founder and CEO of Impruver Inc., a company dedicated to helping organizations build continuous improvement cultures that unlock real freedom for people, businesses, and communities. Raised on the South Side of Chicago, he became the first in his family to earn a college degree, receiving his Industrial Engineering degree on a Division I athletic scholarship before later completing his MBA and working in top tier management consulting. Calvin believes continuous improvement is not a program but a daily battle between those who push for better and those who settle for the status quo, and he partners with operational excellence leaders to ensure the improvers win. About the host: Betsy Jordyn is a business mentor, brand messaging strategist, and former Disney consultant who helps purpose-driven consultants and coaches build profitable businesses rooted in their unique strengths. With over 20 years in the industry and a knack for turning big ideas into clear positioning, she's your go-to for strategy that aligns with your calling.

True clarity doesn't always feel easy. It doesn't always arrive tied up with a bow. Sometimes it's the current that pulls you forward — momentum that moves through your body before your mind can catch up. And sometimes it's the clean, sharp edge that cuts away everything that's no longer aligned. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what clarity has been asking of me lately — from stepping back to listen, to making hard, necessary decisions that changed the trajectory of my business. This is the heart of The Conscious Business Edge — a three-part private podcast series for high-level women who are ready to lead from deeper consciousness, clearer power, and simple, intentional strategy. Launching next week.

She's a bestselling author of "Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months" and has helped countless entrepreneurs launch, grow, and thrive.

Jim McKelvey did the impossible. He beat Amazon. The tech giant launched a product similar to Square's, undercut their pricing, and leveraged its massive brand. Everyone thought Square was doomed. But a year later, Amazon quit and even mailed Square readers to their customers. That left Jim with a bigger question: “How did we survive when no one else ever has?” The search for that answer inspired his book The Innovation Stack, a blueprint for building a business that cannot be copied. In this episode, Jim joins Ilana to reveal the secret to creating an unbeatable business, why ignorance can be a superpower, and how to survive the impossible as an entrepreneur. Jim McKelvey is the co-founder of Square (now Block), a billionaire entrepreneur, and author of The Innovation Stack.

She is a lifelong fashion model and union carpenter began her journey when she was 10 - both playing dress up in her mom's clothes, and also creating a construction site in her mother's garden with a red Tonka truck.

In this era when politics and Christian identity are so tightly wrapped around one another, it's common to see people arguing that the people across the aisle aren't “real” Christians—because of what or who they support or defend. But is this division between Christians helpful, or even true? What if they ARE real Christians—and they are our responsibility? Launching points for this discussion include a recent Substack by Tim Whitaker (The New Evangelicals), entitled “Stop Saying They Aren't Real Christians,” Katherine Stewart's book “Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy,” and Zach Lambert's “Better Ways to Read the Bible: Transforming a Weapon of Harm into a Tool of Healing.” ***** Special thanks to our sponsors at Quoir, publishers of The Quollective.
