In this episode of SaaS Fuel, host Jeff Mains sits down with David Ebner, founder of Content Workshop and author of "A Content Marketing Story." Together, they dive deep into the power of storytelling for brands, especially in a world increasingly dominated by AI-generated content. David shares his journey from an MFA in creative writing to agency founder, highlighting how classic storytelling techniques breathe life into business content—even for "boring" brands. The conversation covers why emotion trumps logic in B2B sales, aligning brand stories with real customer pain points, and how AI is changing (but not replacing) creative content. They also explore building trust, the need for strong brand values, and practical frameworks for developing compelling narratives that make both customers and investors take notice.Key Takeaways00:00 Evolving Content Strategies and Trust04:50 Founding Content Workshop: Storytelling Essentials09:00 Evolving Beyond Early Success11:55 "Post-COVID Digital Shift"12:57 Emotional Connection in Marketing16:21 "Helping, Not Selling"20:53 "AI Refines Quality Content Production"22:57 Glossary's Impact on Content Traffic28:51 Hybrid Content Creation Process31:54 "Prioritizing Quality Over AI Automation"35:28 "Customer-Centric Corporate Values"36:14 "Opinionate Only on Relevant Issues"40:39 "Value Through Personal Engagement"44:31 "Building Trust for Long-Term Value"47:10 Faceless Case Studies Boost Relatability51:22 Story-Driven Business StrategiesTweetable QuotesRethinking Corporate Values: "And your values really should be derived from again, the people you're helping.

"This isn't a business where you swap technology every two years—these are life safety lines that need to work for the next 20," says Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. "That's why our approach is about doing the right thing for customers and giving partners confidence that what they deliver today will stand the test of time." In the latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sits down with Jacoby to discuss what happens beyond the initial POTS replacement sale. While much of the conversation around POTS migration focuses on technology and cost, Jacoby emphasizes that the real value for resellers lies in becoming a trusted advisor—guiding customers toward solutions that are reliable, future-proof, and backed by TELCLOUD's long-term investment strategy. Jacoby explains that while some vendors offer quick fixes using VoIP for life-safety lines, those solutions will fail within a few years. By contrast, TELCLOUD has taken the more difficult but necessary path: building direct IP connections to alarm central stations, ensuring reliability and compliance for decades to come. For resellers, this means confidence in recommending TELCLOUD solutions—knowing they are protecting both customer relationships and recurring revenue streams. The episode also highlights TELCLOUD's 100% white-label model, allowing partners to brand solutions as their own while relying on TELCLOUD's engineering, monitoring, and backend support. From “one and done” installs to continuous remote monitoring, TELCLOUD eliminates repeat truck rolls, giving partners the ability to scale while maintaining customer trust. And, true to the POTS and Shots tradition, the conversation shifts to tequila. This time, Jacoby introduces Código Extra Añejo, a sweet, caramel-forward sipping tequila aged in oak barrels—perfect for the close of a business day. Next up in the series: “Tales from the Road: Global Momentum for POTS Replacement.” For more information, visit telcloud.com or call 844-900-2270.

Today, I sit down with Mike Mortlock to uncover the $2.88 billion tax secret many investors are missing — depreciation. Why so many property owners leave money on the table, when to order a depreciation schedule, and how you can even amend past returns to claim back missed deductions. We also bust the big myth: do you really have to pay it all back when you sell? Mike explains how depreciation and capital gains tax actually work together, and how depreciation boosts your cash flow right when you need it most. Plus, we explore where investors are buying now, why affordable markets like Perth is booming, and how investor behaviour has shifted with better data and buyers’ agents.

It's "financial winter" now through October, says Dale Smothers, something he believes will give investors reason to take risk off the table. He adds the case for pullbacks due to high short-term valuations, especially in A.I. names, as concentration only builds across indices. As for stocks Dale is watching, he expects Apple (AAPL) to break out of its range-bound trading action as it accelerates A.I. momentum. He also sees CoreWeave (CRWV) as a great short-term and long-term play.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Share case studies and thought leadership to build trust and establish credibility.Engagement That Converts:Engage authentically by commenting thoughtfully and adding value. Consistent, meaningful interactions turn you into a trusted resource.Strategic Follow-Up:Follow up naturally, share helpful resources and insights, and build the relationship over time, rather than rushing to close.Why Trust Outperforms Traditional Sales:People buy from those they trust.

On this episode of the Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Kevin Bupp, a seasoned investor and founder of Sunrise Capital Investors. Known for his success with mobile home parks, Kevin dives into the niche world of parking garage investments—an overlooked asset class with strong cash flow, low maintenance, and high redevelopment potential. He shares his origin story from bartending to building a $400M+ real estate portfolio, discusses how his firm targets value-add parking assets in high-demand urban markets, and explains how they balance risk-adjusted returns across their fund structure by blending cash-flowing parking deals with value-add mobile home parks. Kevin also addresses how autonomous vehicles may impact the future of parking, and why land value and long-term optionality are central to his investment thesis.

In deze extra aflevering van Leaders in Finance is Willem Schramade te gast, professor of finance aan Nyenrode met een focus op sustainable investing. Wat gebeurt er als je écht probeert om financiële waarde en maatschappelijke waarde met elkaar te verbinden? En waarom blijft dat in de praktijk zo moeilijk? Willem vertelt over de spanning tussen theorie en praktijk, tussen rendement en verantwoordelijkheid. Over hoe pensioenfondsen het verschil kunnen maken, maar het soms laten liggen. En over waarom het juist nu tijd is voor meer lef en minder compliance-denken. Een gesprek over waarde creëren in plaats van alleen maar waarde eruit trekken. En over waarom een goed werkende bankapp fijn is, maar nog geen toekomstbestendige financiële sector maakt.

In this episode of the Bitcoin Podcast, hosts Dee, Corey, Jessie, and Ahmad cover a wide-ranging discussion about Bitcoin Ordinals, a new protocol for creating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Bitcoin blockchain, highlighting the potential and ongoing debates about their utility.

Welcome to HALO Talks! In this episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Tom Morrissey, founder of Solo Health Collective and a seasoned veteran in the health insurance world, to unpack the complex—and often misunderstood—landscape of healthcare for self-employed professionals. With a career spanning decades at Cigna and deep experience serving everyone from major corporations to solo entrepreneurs, Tom shares how he's dedicated his life to helping small business owners and solopreneurs access quality, affordable health coverage. Despite his success in the large-account space, Tom noticed an unmet need: Small and mid-sized businesses were often overlooked by health insurers and weren't given access to innovative cost-saving or health improvement solutions that benefited the bigger corporations.  If you're a personal trainer, group ex instructor, wellness coach, massage therapist, or any professional running your own business, this conversation is a game changer. Tom explains the differences between HMO and PPO plans, why traditional ACA ("Affordable Care Act") options can fall short for the self-employed, and how his company's unique group plan model is designed to deliver robust coverage (including preventive care and nationwide access) with transparent pricing and minimal out-of-pocket surprises. Plus, hear about partnerships with organizations like the Freelancers Union, and learn how innovative features like HSAs can work for you—even covering perks like fitness classes. On the healthcare issues facing entrepreneurs, Morrissey states, "We saw the growth. It depends on who you listen to, but estimates are that there'll be 90M solo business, owners by 2028. I want to say there's about 60M now. The guys and gals that own these businesses . . . I think, especially when they're young and healthy, are the ones that get screwed the most in healthcare. You know? All they really have access to is ACA plans." Key themes discussed Challenges of health insurance for solopreneurs and self-employed. Differences between PPO and HMO health plans. Underwriting and rate-setting for solo business owners. Preventive care coverage and HSA/HSA usage changes. Brand trust versus new insurance providers like Solo Health Collective. Partnerships with organizations such as Freelancers Union. Long-term cost sustainability for healthier insurance collectives. A few key takeaways:  1. Solo Health Plans Are Filling a Major Gap: Morrissey explains how traditional health insurance often overlooks solopreneurs and small business owners, especially in the HALO space. His company, Healthy Business Group via Solo Health Collective, is designed specifically to provide comprehensive PPO health plans to solo business owners—offering an alternative with more flexibility and better coverage than typical limited-network ACA and HMO options. 2. Key Plan Advantages-PPO Access and Maximum Out-of-Pocket Clarity: Unlike many ACA or HMO plans that limit provider networks and access, Solo Health Collective offers nationwide PPO plans, granting members broader access to healthcare providers. They also have a straightforward approach: After the deductible is met, there's no coinsurance—meaning your deductible is the absolute maximum you'll pay out-of-pocket for covered expenses (with all preventative care covered in full and not applied to the deductible). 3. Plans Are Designed for Solo Business Owners With Medical Underwriting: To qualify, you must have an EIN (Employer Identification Number) and be a business owner without employees. Members go through a quick, five-question medical underwriting process, which allows the plan to provide tailored age, and location-based rates—often significantly less expensive than standard individual policies, especially for young, healthy professionals. 4. HSAs and Innovative Usage for Wellness Are Embraced: The plan supports health savings accounts (HSAs), and Tom shared how, thanks to evolving IRS guidelines and technology, people can now use HSA funds for things like fitness classes and certain wellness purchases, expanding the value of pre-tax health dollars and encouraging preventive care and healthy lifestyles. 5. Long-Term Value and Stability Solo Health Collective is built on a self-insured, level-funded model supported by robust reinsurance (Odyssey A+ rated.) This allows the collective to stabilize costs and potentially keep renewal increases lower than the industry average—especially as it pools healthier, proactive members like those in the wellness and fitness industries. The long-term goal is to create a sustainable, affordable health insurance solution specifically for entrepreneurs who have historically been underserved.

In this final episode of ESG in Practice season 1, Jeanett Bergan explores ESG's evolution from an emerging trend over 20 years ago to an important part of investment strategy. Drawing on her extensive experience, both on the investment side as well as implementing ESG in large multinationals, she highlights how investors early on recognized the long-term benefits of robust sustainability practices for risk management. The conversation shifts from reporting to real implementation—engaging suppliers, performing audits, and leveraging technology to secure timely, transparent data. Ultimately, companies that excel in ESG not only mitigate risks but also demonstrate strong management and long-term stability, which can drive superior financial performance.

Software isn't always about rapid iteration. Sometimes, the real challenge lies in carefully assessing the existing environment. Chris Salvato, a Senior Staff Engineer at Shopify, believes that spending time in the “problem space” is vital for any long-lived application. Rather than diving immediately into controllers and tests, he begins by talking to everyone who interacts with the code—engineers, product owners, even directors who oversee strategy. This approach reveals hidden friction points that rarely come to light in larger, more formal meetings.When code grows organically over years, a range of issues emerges. Small workarounds might accumulate, new features can overlap with older ones, and domain boundaries become murky. Chris suggests mapping these overlaps through in-depth conversations so the team can pinpoint what genuinely obstructs productivity. He emphasizes that many developers may focus on surface fixes—updating a library here, renaming a class there—without acknowledging underlying confusion in the domain model itself. Removing extraneous code, clarifying domain entities, and aligning the team's understanding can drastically reduce missteps.An interesting aspect of Chris's method is his view of “developer paradise.” A codebase reaches this state when new contributors can navigate it with minimal help. Instead of sifting through endless documentation or complex wikis, they can figure out how classes, modules, and services connect simply by reading the code. Chris notes that achieving this often involves pruning unnecessary files or responsibilities. The end result is software that “self-documents,” easing onboarding and reducing reliance on external explanations.The conversation also touches on how large language models (LLMs) fit into the puzzle. Many organizations see AI-driven coding assistants as a way to accelerate development. Chris agrees they have potential, yet highlights a critical requirement: the code must be well-organized. If the system is sprawling and inconsistent, these tools may only add confusion. Lean, carefully segmented projects let both people and AI more effectively track what's happening under the hood.Reducing code bloat leads naturally to discussions about prioritizing. Chris encourages teams not to tackle every annoyance at once. He references the importance of framing a unifying question, such as “Which feature or aspect of the app causes the greatest confusion among team members?” Spending too little time on this question, he warns, results in half-hearted improvements that eventually revert back to chaos. By contrast, devoting a few dedicated sprints—guided by thoughtful one-on-one interviews—can create lasting changes that set the entire codebase on a better trajectory.One intriguing theme is how personal growth ties into organizational impact. Chris acknowledges that developers often switch companies every few years, which might discourage them from investing deeply in a legacy codebase they won't maintain long-term. Yet taking the lead in clarifying domain logic or reorganizing outdated sections is a skill-building opportunity. Future employers also notice engineers who can transform messy architectures into clear, future-friendly systems. In that sense, there's a mutual benefit: the company gains maintainable software, while the developer acquires project leadership experience.The idea of “sitting in the problem space” resonates throughout Chris's remarks. He encourages engineers to resist the reflex to propose solutions too early. Instead, they should keep asking why a particular annoyance or bug persists. Is it a symptom of a misaligned feature set, or is it rooted in limited domain knowledge among contributors? By reframing those frustrations as questions about responsibilities, the team often discovers simpler fixes than a heavy-handed rewrite. Conversely, where deeper rewrites are indeed warranted, Chris believes it's best for the team to see that direction as unanimous rather than dictated from the top.Long-standing software also carries emotional baggage. People might have strong feelings about how something “ought” to be done, or they may have encountered recurring hurdles. Chris advocates using one-on-one conversations to let these concerns surface naturally, free from the pressure of group settings where quieter voices might hold back. Once everyone's perspective is heard, common threads become clearer, enabling the team to converge on a smaller list of genuinely important tasks. When the group reconvenes, the sense of shared purpose helps unify efforts in a way that scattered brainstorming rarely achieves.The conversation also highlights resourceful domain modeling, which draws some inspiration from the microservices world but doesn't necessarily require the code to be broken up into tiny services. Instead, Chris suggests that well-defined boundaries within a monolith can deliver comparable clarity—if the team respects those boundaries. He points to examples like Stripe or reading materials on Domain-Driven Design to show how cohesive object structures can help avoid big architectural hurdles.His closing thoughts revolve around long-term sustainability. Even if an engineer isn't planning to remain on a project indefinitely, they can leave a meaningful legacy by clarifying crucial parts of the code, championing simpler naming conventions, and encouraging more open dialogue among team members. The impact, Chris notes, goes beyond the immediate project: every person who touches that code later benefits from these improvements, often for years to come.Time-Stamped Highlights[00:00:00] Welcome and Well-Maintained Software:Robby opens by asking Chris about foundational traits of dependable, long-lasting codebases.[00:00:58] Defining “Well Maintained”:They explore how clear conventions and minimal bloat not only reduce confusion but also prolong the life of a system.[00:01:28] LLMs and Context Windows:Chris delves into why large codebases challenge AI-driven coding assistants—and how trim, well-modeled systems sidestep this pitfall.[00:02:00] Joining Shopify and Facing Legacy Systems:Chris recalls his early days at Shopify, realizing that older Rails apps demanded a more structured method of discovery.[00:03:08] Concept of “Developer Paradise”:He shares his perspective on how removing unneeded documentation and extraneous complexity makes daily development more enjoyable.[00:05:32] Framework for Tackling Old Code:Chris outlines his signature approach: booking numerous 1-on-1 meetings to gather honest feedback from stakeholders before touching the code.[00:07:15] Finding High-Leverage Problems:Robby and Chris discuss distilling this feedback into a shortlist of real bottlenecks that the team can tackle together.[00:15:00] From Problem Space to Solutions:They spotlight the value of framing a single unifying question—like “How do we reduce confusion?”—to keep everyone working toward the same outcome.[00:20:07] Balancing Personal Goals and Company Needs:Chris underlines how aligning individual ambitions with business objectives fosters commitment to sustained improvement.[00:32:00] Long-Term Value and Leadership:Closing out, Robby and Chris consider how short-tenure engineers can leave a lasting impact by helping a team focus on its biggest pain points.Resources & MentionsShopifyRuby on RailsChris's GitHubChris's LinkedInChris's Twitter/XThe One Thing by Gary KellerTitan: The Life of John D.

The crucial debate between organic and paid advertising. Paid ads are quicker and more predictable results, but organic has the potential to produce an even higher roi. Paid advertising allows for consistent traffic flow and scalable sales, which are essential for building a real business as opposed to a hobby. Paid ads provide control and predictability, making it easier to achieve revenue goals and demonstrate profitable acquisition channels, a critical factor when selling a business to potential buyers. Organic growth, while valuable in the long run, is less predictable and takes longer to yield significant returns.Successful businesses need a balance of both paid and organic strategies. While paid ads offer immediate returns and scalability, organic content is a long-term investment that enhances brand value and trust. Effective paid advertising requires testing, optimization, and a solid product or service. By understanding and leveraging both paid and organic methods, businesses can achieve sustainable growth and improved valuations.CHAPTER TITLES1:17 - The Importance of Both Paid Ads and Organic Growth 1:50 - Why Paid Ads are Essential for Business Consistency 2:51 - Comparing Paid Ads to Organic Growth4:03 - Analogies: Paid Ads vs. Organic Growth4:29 - The Challenges and Benefits of Paid Ads 5:10 - The Long-Term Value of Organic Growth6:17 - Building a Balanced Strategy 6:56 - Organic Growth as a Long-Term Strategy 7:15 - Paid Ads and Business Valuation 8:44 - Examples of Big Brands Using Paid Ads9:10 - The Role of Different Types of Paid Traffic 10:39 - The Myth of Affording Paid Ads 11:58 - Personal Success Stories with Paid Ads12:42 - Integrating Organic Growth and Paid Ads 12:56 - Creating Viral and Branded Content for Organic Growth14:33 - The Importance of Testing in Paid Ads 14:51 - Guidance for Members on Paid and Organic Strategies 16:06 - Summary and Final Thoughts on Paid vs. OrganicConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter
