The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 423 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this engaging conversation, Peter Boulden and Craig discuss the challenges associates face in dental practices, the importance of mentorship, and the impact of economic factors on dentistry. They reflect on the legacy of Dr. Bruce Baird, explore the future of AI in dentistry, and emphasize the need for effective communication and same-day dentistry to enhance productivity. The discussion also touches on overcoming money mindset issues and the necessity of strategic planning for dental practices. TAKEAWAYS Associates need to be proactive in seeking same-day dentistry opportunities. Effective communication and visual aids can significantly improve patient acceptance of treatment plans. Money mindset issues can hinder associates' productivity and decision-making. Mentorship is crucial for the growth and success of new associates in dental practices. Understanding economic trends can help dentists navigate their practices more effectively. Same-day dentistry can be a game changer for practice growth. Associates should not diagnose based on patients' perceived financial situations. Utilizing technology in consultations can enhance patient understanding and trust. Creating a supportive environment for associates fosters their development and confidence. Dentists should focus on long-term goals and strategic planning for their practices.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about three decisions that will determine the next decade of your life. It sounds dramatic, right? But what if the decisions you make about the people you're spending time with, the content you're consuming, and the things you're actively building (or not building) are quietly shaping your future in ways you haven't considered? Jenn shares surprising research about how behaviors can spread through social networks like a contagious disease. So should you be evaluating your friendships with the same scrutiny you'd use for a romantic partner? And when it comes to what you're learning and building, are you making conscious choices or just going through the motions? Is there actually science behind the idea that your income reflects the five people you spend the most time with, and if so, what else might be true? Jenn breaks down these three critical decision points and challenges you to get intentional about where you want to be in 2036. Like what you're hearing?

Today we're breaking down Databricks, a $130B private company that helps companies collect, store, and process very large amounts of data, and then use that data to run analytics and train machine learning models. Databricks sits in the middle of modern data systems, connecting raw data pipelines to the tools teams use to analyze information and build AI. If you've worked on large-scale data or AI projects, there's a good chance Databricks was part of the stack, often operating behind the scenes. My guest is Alan Tu, portfolio manager and analyst at WCM Investment Management, which invested in Databricks in late 2024. Alan explains what Databricks actually does for customers, why it remains one of the least understood large private software companies, and how its academic origins and founding team shaped its evolution from an early data-engineering product into a broad commercial platform. We also discuss common misconceptions about the business, how Databricks fits into the modern AI stack, what has changed since the last time we covered the company, and how its scale, product strategy, and capital position differentiate it from competitors. Note: This conversation was recorded on December 10, 2025, so all numbers are reflective of what was publicly available on that date. Please enjoy this breakdown of Databricks.

Church Discipleship Pathway Initiative: A Spring 2025 Launch Plan In this audio discussion, the church leaders outline their plans for a new discipleship pathway aimed at fostering spiritual growth and community. The pathway is part of a long-term initiative that emphasizes practical applications of Jesus' teachings through 'Practicing the Way' course, featuring eight sessions on spiritual formation. Elders, leaders, and their spouses are invited to engage in this 12-week program starting in February, with preparatory sessions in January. The program is designed not just as a temporary initiative but as a foundational shift towards a more intentional, community-based discipleship model. The leaders also discuss the importance of feedback and the possibility of reducing other church activities to ensure full participation. They emphasize the need for prayer, humility, and willingness to be part of this transformative journey. 00:00 Introduction to the Discipleship Pathway 01:28 The Importance of Discipleship at FCC 03:36 Defining the Discipleship Pathway 04:49 Spring Initiative: Practicing the Way 08:33 Leadership Training and Core Group Formation 09:45 Long-Term Vision and Commitment 18:32 Addressing Hesitations and Encouraging Participation 21:49 Call to Action and Next Steps 24:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing.  Two years after the Cardinals signed Sonny Gray as a free agent to headline their pitching, pitching, pitching offseason, the veteran right-handed waived his no-trade clause and renogiated his deal to allow a trade to Boston and underscore the Cardinals' new direction. Pivoting, pivoting, pivoting. In a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball, baseball writer Derrick Goold and editor Nathan Mills discuss the fallout from the Sonny Gray trade. They explore the next group of Cardinals likely to be traded with Mills giving a rundown of the left-handed batters and one left-handed pitcher that are generating interest from other teams and what players would be wisest to trade. The $20 million sent with Gray to the Red Sox in exchanage for two young talents, starters Brandon Clarke and Richard Fitts, is a sign of what the Cardinals are willing to pay for younger, cost-controlled talent. So what does that say about the Cardinals' willingness to cover millions of Nolan Arenado's contract to spur a trade of another All-Star? The discussion arrives at a juncture for the Cardinals. For years, the club and its fans have been defined by an urgency about what the game today or the move today did to help them win the next World Series. Now, the question seems to have shifted to what the move did today to help them win their next World Series -- in the future, whenever that is. During his press conference following the Gray trade, Chaim Bloom said the urgency fans expect and the long-term view the Cardinals have adopted can coexist, and he added that he welcomes the pressure such urgency puts on their daily decisions, even if the goal is in the distance. Plus! Questions from chatters and a Thanksgiving thank you to the community of BPIB listerns who have made the podast possible going back to its earliest days of recording in a attic. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

He walks through the same process for your family life so you can stop drifting and start living on purpose.You'll learn why most New Year's resolutions fail, how to choose the one goal you'd be furious not to hit in 2026, and how mission and core values actually become filters for decisions—not just words on a wall.

When was the last time you actually sat down and reflected on where you're at?Not the "I'll think about it while I'm rushing through my to-do list" kind of reflection. I'm talking about actually sitting with yourself, asking the hard questions, and getting real about what's working, what's not, and where you're actually going.Today's episode is different. This is a full reflection exercise that I'm walking you through, both personally and professionally. I'm asking you the same questions I ask myself and my clients, and I'm sharing my own raw answers as we go.We're covering what made you proud this year (even if nobody noticed), where you drained yourself, what boundaries you slipped on, what surprised you about your growth, where you self-sabotaged, and what you actually want for next year. I'm also getting honest about where I overextended, under-resourced myself, and tried to pretend I wasn't human this year.Grab a journal or your notes app. You can listen and reflect as you go, or come back to this one quarterly.

IT'S ASHES WEEK. One of the biggest occasions of the sporting year is here, and with it we have a special show unlike any other we've done before. The Barmy Army is so influential it has made it into the Oxford Dictionary: to quote…it is a term for a group of passionate, noisy, and dedicated fans who support the English national cricket team, especially during overseas tours. For over 30 years, they've built incredible atmospheres by leveraging trumpets, original songs and bucket hats so fashionable they're found all over Glastonbury. But did you know behind this infamous group sits a hugely successful business, with a responsibility to bring the best experiences to the thousands of touring fans under their banner. Chris Millard is the man in charge of the Barmy Army, and in a 6 week period that will no doubt have them front and centre of sports news as 40,000 England fans descend on Australia, we thought it was the perfect time to take a look at the organisation that defines fandom and community. This is a side of the Barmy Army you will not have seen before.It's time to build the hype for as we enter the ultimate cricketing Christmas. We're delighted to welcome Chris to the Business of SportTimestamps:00:00 Intro03:22 What the Barmy Army Has Planned for the Ashes09:20 What the Barmy Army Is Today12:15 The Revenue Streams14:41 How Bazball Has Boosted Test Cricket Demand16:39 How Touring Groups Collaborate in Cricket23:39 Did Commercial Growth Threaten the Barmy Army's Values?27:07 How Barmy Army Merch & Licensing Works31:14 How Fan Culture Can Help Strengthen County Cricket34:20 Why Test Cricket Survives Only in a Few Nations37:52 How Packed Calendars Impact Player Welfare43:08 How Iconic Grounds Were Left Off the Ashes List46:03 Predicting the Ashes Outcome51:43 The Long-Term Vision for the Barmy Army BusinessOn today's show we discuss: The Business Behind the Barmy Army:How a grassroots fan group founded in 1994 has grown into a multimillion-pound sports business.Why the Barmy Army now operates with full-time staff, global partnerships, and a sophisticated travel, merchandise, and events model.The operational challenge of managing over 3,500 official tourists, and more than 40,000 fans, on a single Ashes tour.How it evolved from a group of England fans into a global movement with over two million social followers.Partnerships & Governance in Cricket:Inside the economics of a modern fan brand. From travel packages to apparel, partnerships, and social media monetisation.How collaborations with TNT Sports, retro kit lines, and bespoke tour collections have turned the Barmy Army into a fashion and lifestyle label as much as a supporters' group.The Barmy Army's evolving relationship with the ECB, from being seen as a rival to becoming an ally and trusted partner.How the group now collaborates with governing bodies across the world to influence tour schedules, ticketing, and fan logistics.Test Cricket, Tourism & the Global Game:Why the Barmy Army believes Test cricket is still the sport's heartbeat and how their tours generate up to $750 million in host-country impact.The critical link between tourism, culture, and cricket's survival, from Barbados to the Ashes.The fight to preserve the long-form game amid scheduling chaos and private league dominance.The obstacles of perception, access, and tradition when expanding into new territories.Why the future of fandom will be driven by authenticity, emotion, and the fans who live the game, not the corporations who sell it.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Wealth Vibe Show, host Vinki Loomba dives into one of the most overlooked yet highly profitable niches in real estate—campground investing. Joining her is Kevin Thueson, former CPA turned outdoor real estate mogul and co-founder of KCN Campgrounds, one of the fastest-growing KOA franchise portfolios in the U.S. Kevin reveals how he went from crunching numbers in a cubicle to building a campground empire—literally from the dirt up.

Dawn Rickabaugh, host of Property and Paper Live and creator of NoteQueen.com, delivers an insightful lecture on real estate investing, financing, and note buying strategies. Emphasizing the importance of understanding one's core identity beyond professional roles, she encourages participants to distill their essence into clear, meaningful statements to deepen their purpose and motivation. Dawn shares a personal story about managing a special property with a unique energetic footprint and the importance of stewarding sacred spaces in real estate transactions. She highlights current market dynamics including owner financing, master leasing, and creative solutions for "accidental landlords" amid changing rental markets. The discussion includes practical advice on working with real estate agents through creative financing, structuring commissions over time, and addressing challenges in the rental and note markets. Dawn also warns about IRA precious metals scams and stresses the need for vigilance in financial dealings. The session concludes with an invitation to join her coaching program and the importance of community interaction in learning and applying real estate strategies to create financial solutions for individuals and families. ### Highlights   - Dawn emphasizes defining "who you are" beyond what you do to align with your true purpose.   - Personal storytelling highlights the emotional and energetic significance of real estate beyond mere transactions.   - Owner financing and master leasing are showcased as essential tools in today's complex real estate market.   - Creative commission structures can help agents sell difficult listings and secure deals.   - The lecture warns about prevalent IRA precious metals scams targeting seniors and self-directed accounts.   - Market conditions show an increase in accidental landlords, creating opportunities for creative financing solutions.   - Dawn promotes her coaching program as a way to gain practical skills and community support for real estate investing success. ### Key Insights   - **Identity and Purpose Drive Success:** Dawn's exercise of distilling her essence into a few sentences reveals that clarity about one's core identity fuels passion and resilience in real estate investing. This self-awareness translates into more authentic and effective decision-making.   - **Real Estate as a Sacred Space:** Viewing properties as energetic and emotional spaces rather than just assets creates a deeper connection with clients and the community, enhancing stewardship and long-term value.   - **Creative Financing as a Competitive Edge:** Tools like owner financing, master leasing, and flexible commission payments give investors and agents tactical advantages in tight markets and with sellers who have high price expectations.   - **Navigating Market Challenges:** The rise of accidental landlords and renters' changing needs require innovative solutions that balance cash flow, tenant management, and property maintenance. Recognizing this can lead to sustainable investment strategies.   - **Risk Awareness in Financial Deals:** The mention of IRA precious metal scams underscores the critical importance of due diligence and consumer education to protect investments, especially among vulnerable populations.   - **Community and Collaboration Enhance Learning:** Dawn stresses the value of live interaction and shared experiences in coaching environments to address real-world problems and accelerate learning.   - **Long-Term Vision and Integrity:** Encouraging investors to operate with integrity and purpose supports building lasting wealth and positive impact, rather than short-term quick profits.

In this episode, Brian Skrobonja explains what alternative investments are and why they are the fastest route to growing your assets or retirement savings. He sheds light on how the most successful investors in the world keep getting wealthier and how to use an endowment like strategy to position your retirement assets. Brian explores alternative investments opportunities.  He goes over what larger investors are doing to diversify away from the public market in an effort to help clients protect downside risks. The shift in investment philosophy amongst the largest investors is something to pay attention to as it could offer valuable insights on how to position your retirement assets. Brian explains why it's prudent for investors to adopt an endowment like model. The wealthiest and most successful investors in the world keep getting wealthier, not because they are lucky or privileged, but because they are playing a different game than the average investor. According to Brian, with medical advancements extending life beyond what we have seen in the past, we are entering a longevity dilemma as people may find themselves living longer than their assets. For Brian, the traditional retirement age tied to social security eligibility has longevity implications that are being overlooked. The 4% rule suggests you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement savings annually with the assumption that the balance in your account will sustain you for 30 years. Brian shares why he believes the 4% rule is not sustainable in the modern age.  There's risk with any type of investment and alternatives are no exception. Brian talks about portfolio diversification and why we need to expand the definition of diversification. Brian talks about alternative investments and why you should consider having a portion of your savings in private equity, private debt, real estate trusts, and even oil and gas. For Brian, the stock market may be a core component of a portfolio, but it cannot be the only holding.  Should investors get out of public markets entirely?  According to Brian, investors should not get out of the market entirely, but should acknowledge that there are many investment opportunities that are far better than the stock market.   We are seeing the world change before our eyes. The way we invest today needs to be forward looking to consider the changes that are underway.   Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify   References for this episode: kiplinger.com/article/investing/t047-c032-s014-to-succeed-at-investing-do-what-yale-does.html brianskrobonja.com/podcasts/posts/ep-52-strategically-separating-your-assets-with-the-five-minute-retirement-plan/ prudential.com/financial-education/4-percent-rule-retirement#:~:text=The%204%25%20rule%20comes%20with,close%20to%20covering%20your%20needs. wsj.com/finance/investing/pension-funds-stocks-bonds-679b8536 imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2000/wp0018.pdf weforum.org/agenda/2022/04/longer-healthier-lives-everyone/ nmhc.org/industry-topics/affordable-housing/apartment-supply-shortage/ sealynet.com/news/sealy-company-small-industrial-spaces/ nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/inflation-and-debt nasdaq.com/articles/revisiting-the-classic-60-40-portfolio-as-challenges-loom     Securities offered only by duly registered individuals through Madison Avenue Securities, LLC.

Most people think success comes from constant hustle. It doesn't. It comes from patience mixed with smart action. Most people chase quick wins. I learned the real secret is patience mixed with purpose. When you think long-term, you make better short-term decisions. You stop chasing every shiny idea and start stacking small wins that lead to something big. Back in 2015, I made a decision that tested every ounce of my patience. Even though I was most qualified to teach leadership, I didn't start there. My long-term vision was to become a one-stop shop for your career. But to earn that, I needed to start by solving your most acute pain first…getting the job. That meant helping people fix their search, knowing they'd leave me once they succeeded. It was a sacrifice, but a necessary one if I wanted to serve for the long haul. This week's lesson shares (in under 4 minutes) how I created a long-term vision for my career success. And how you can build yours using the same approach. If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with Jordan Calgeron—2x exited founder and President of StratDev—to explore the often-overlooked mental and emotional journey of young entrepreneurs. From building his first company in college to turning down 11 acquisition offers in a single year, Jordan reveals the unseen pressures of early success, including burnout, isolation, and the struggle to find balance. He also shares personal strategies on setting boundaries, protecting energy, and choosing growth with integrity over fast exits. About the Guest:Jordan Calgeron is a serial entrepreneur and the current President of StratDev, a Top 100 US marketing firm. He's built and sold companies by age 26, delivered TEDx talks, and even launched a wine brand. Beyond business, Jordan is committed to mental resilience, long-term sustainability, and redefining what success looks like in the startup world. Key Takeaways: Starting young can lead to burnout fast—Jordan worked 20-hour days during college, often sacrificing social life and sleep. True vacations and time-blocking are essential tools Jordan uses to avoid mental collapse. He turned down 11 acquisition offers in 2023 to play the long game—and the decision paid off. Quick decision-making and the ability to course-correct are more valuable than intelligence in entrepreneurship. Building a business shouldn't come at the cost of losing yourself—find time to recalibrate, reconnect, and reflect.

Welcome to episode 210 of Sports Management Podcast. Today's guest is Szymon Szemberg, a reoccurring guest who first appeared on episode 5, almost 5 years ago – and a lot have happened since. Szymon recently wrote an article about the NBA closing in on a league in Europe and if this could lead to an NHL-driven ice hockey league in Europe as well. This topic became even more relevant when NBA commissioner Adam Silver recently stated that such a league could start already in 2027 or 2028. Szymon is the perfect person to discuss this topic. He has been a player, coach and later sports director and managing director of an elite basketball club in Sweden. He has worked as a sports reporter, covering both basketball and hockey. Between 2001-2014, he served as Communications Director for the International Ice Hockey Federation. He was the Champions Hockey League's project lead and later COO (2013-2015) and most recently he was the Managing Director of EHC, Alliance of European Hockey Clubs, from which he just stepped down after 10 years. We spoke about: Why the NBA is planning a new European league How such a league could be structured If NHL can go the same route, and if so how the league look like Szymon explains the possible 4 scenarios, from least to most likely. We also cover the financial and political implications And much more!   Time stamps: 00:01 Intro  02:00 NBA's European League Plans 03:30 The NBA's move to control the global basketball ecosystem13:30 The NHL's current strategic advantage 15:45 Expanding NHL franchises directly into Europe 20:45 Financial and Market Considerations for European Leagues 28:50 Potential NHL European League Scenarios and Strategy 35:00 Long-Term Vision and Regional Opportunities 40:00 Outro   Follow Sports Management Podcast on social media Instagram Twitter LinkedIn YouTube www.sportsmanagementpodcast.com

Building Momentum & Ecosystem Engagement Regional winners receive funding and, importantly, time to grow before the statewide finals—an intentional six-month runway for impact and support. Why is this momentum-building phase so critical, and what role do regional networks and ecosystems play in supporting startup trajectories? Long-Term Vision & Scalability With $3 million from the Michigan Innovation Fund and $1 million from Michigan Rise ensuring this is a multi-year initiative, PitchMI aims to run through 2026 and potentially become annual. How does this level of long-term funding and planning reflect Michigan's broader economic development priorities? Equity & Access in Startup Support Although each region focuses thematically, startups from anywhere in Michigan can enter any regional event that matches their focus. How does PitchMI's open and inclusive structure help break down geographic silos and create equitable opportunities across the state's innovation ecosystem? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

What if the future of affordable housing doesn't come from prefab or 3D printing, but from building vertically integrated factories that travel to where homes are needed most?In this episode, I sit down with Aleksandr Gampel, co-founder and COO of Cuby Technologies, to talk about their radical approach: Mobile Micro-Factories. Instead of shipping oversized boxes across the country, they bring a full factory on-site – producing windows, panels, framing, and even helical piers locally, then assembling homes with unskilled labor.We get into why housing costs have exploded (up 40–50% since pre-COVID), how Cuby's system cuts hard costs by reducing skilled labor, and why most prefab and modular ventures have failed. Aleks explains how their vertically integrated model works, why they're targeting small-to-mid-sized builders instead of one-off homeowners, and what it will mean when dozens, or even hundreds, of mobile microfactories are running across the U.S.We also dive into design: steel tube framing, magnetic facades, and the surprisingly elegant logic behind Toyota's production system applied to housing. If you've ever wondered how we might actually build cost-effective, durable homes at scale – without sacrificing beauty or quality – this episode is worth your time.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Housing Challenges02:53 The Concept of Mobile Micro Factories05:35 Manufacturing Process and Product Offerings08:24 Building Systems and Structural Integrity11:17 Cost Management and Market Strategy14:05 Design Flexibility and Market Demand17:07 Community Development and Housing Affordability19:53 Operational Dynamics of Mobile Micro Factories24:43 Building Efficient Factories with Unskilled Labor27:30 The Role of Automation in Construction28:54 Phased Business Plan for Housing Production30:34 Funding and Capital Efficiency in Startups32:33 Design Versatility and Limitations in Home Building34:10 Long-Term Vision and Growth Strategy35:15 Innovative Problem Solving in Construction39:13 Challenges of Prefabrication in the Housing Market41:33 Material Science Innovations for Housing43:11 The Journey of Co-Founding a Startup44:33 Connecting with Cuby TechnologiesCONNECT WITH ALEKSANDR GAMPELLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamaleksandrgampel/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/agampel1 Cuby Technologies: https://www.cubytechnologies.com/ CONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/ 

Brian Skrobonja talks about the five habits billionaires live by, habits you can use to create your own financial freedom. Tune in to hear the benefits of having ruthless focus, how frugality with purpose can actually give you more freedom, and why you need to start looking at your life in decades instead of paychecks. Expect to hear practical ideas you can start right away, like trying a 30-day luxury swap, creating a simple “not-to-do” list, and carving out time each week to invest in your own growth. These habits aren't about making more money. They're about making smarter decisions with the money you already have. Brian starts by explaining the habits billionaires live by, habits you can use to build your own financial freedom without ever needing their billions. Habit #1 – Relentless Focus. Brian reveals why focus beats chasing every opportunity. When you treat your biggest financial decisions as limited, you naturally filter out the noise. Billionaires like Warren Buffett, built their fortunes not by jumping on every hot IPO, but by concentrating on businesses they deeply understood, like Coca-Cola, American Express, and Apple, and letting those few bets compound for decades. Habit #2 – Frugality with a Purpose. Learn how to spend with intention instead of deprivation. When most people hear “frugality,” they think of avoiding fun and living on less. But the kind of frugality billionaires practice is built on ensuring money serves a purpose instead of wasting it away. Learn how trimming just one recurring expense and redirecting it into savings, investments, or even a passion project can completely shift your financial future. Try Brian's 30-day luxury swap challenge: Pick one expense that's nice, but not essential, maybe a subscription or upgrade you don't really need. Cut it for a month, and redirect that money toward your retirement account, debt payoff, or travel fund. Habit #3 – Long-Term Vision. Brian emphasizes that one of the most dangerous habits with money, and in life, is thinking too small and too short-term. Most people plan only until the next paycheck, vacation, or bill. But billionaires stretch their thinking into decades, sometimes even generations. Learn how to apply Jeff Bezos' “Day One” mindset and how it can help keep you hungry, curious, and willing to make bold moves for the long game. Brian shares how you can apply this principle to your own finances and career, so that you're not just reacting to what's in front of you, but building something designed to last. Habit #4 – Investing in Knowledge. Brian shares why billionaires obsess over learning: They treat knowledge like an asset that compounds faster than money. The goal of reading and studying isn't to become a walking encyclopedia, it's to build a mental toolkit that helps you spot opportunities, make sharper decisions, and avoid costly mistakes. Habit #5 – What Billionaires Don't Do. Learn the power of ruthless elimination: Billionaires don't have more hours than the rest of us, the difference is what they choose to ignore. Brian explains that billionaire success comes from cutting out distractions, declining projects that don't align with their goals, and saying “no” to almost everything that doesn't matter. How to create your “Not-To-Do List”: Brian challenges you to write down three things you'll ignore for the next 30 days. Maybe it's obsessively checking your portfolio, doomscrolling the news, or saying yes to commitments that drain your energy. According to Brian, billionaires are successful because they know what to work on, what to ignore, and they build habits that compound for decades. The good news is you don't need a billion dollars to build these habits.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify   References for this episode: Lesson 1 – Relentless Focus https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2004/05/05/warren-buffett-and-his-20-punches.aspx https://www.investopedia.com/articles/stocks/08/buffett-style.asp?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://fortune.com/2023/11/20/elon-musk-10-laws-of-management/ https://www.forbes.com/profile/charles-koch/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Lesson 2 – Frugality with Purpose https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldominguez/2018/02/20/the-frugal-habits-of-the-ikea-founder-that-built-a-40-billion-company/ https://www.businessinsider.com/how-warren-buffett-spends-money-net-worth?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.marketwatch.com/story/warren-buffett-reveals-how-much-he-spends-on-breakfast-2017-05-08?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://finance.yahoo.com/news/multi-billionaire-still-calls-cable-165400872.html Lesson 3 – Long-Term Vision https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazons-original-1997-letter-to-shareholders https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/04/21/what-is-jeff-bezos-day-1-philosophy/ https://www.gatesnotes.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/102215/how-microsoft-makes-money.asp?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.forbes.com/profile/sheldon-adelson/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/sheldon-adelson-las-vegas-sands-vision/ Lesson 4 – Investing in Knowledge https://fs.blog/warren-buffett-reading/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/27/warren-buffett-once-offered-up-his-best-investing-advice.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704904604576333424745445360?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://law.stanford.edu/2014/02/24/peter-thiel-on-start-ups-and-innovation/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Lesson 5 – What Billionaires Ignore https://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-investing-advice-2017-2?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.forbes.com/profile/charles-koch/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.inc.com/business-insider/michael-bloomberg-success-lessons.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com     Alternative investments may be subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles.

In a business climate shaped by rapid technological disruption, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and evolving customer expectations, strategy cannot remain static. JD Carter, Chief Strategy Officer at Vasion, believes the key to success lies in constantly aligning vision with execution while adapting to market realities in real time. In this conversation, JD shares how his role involves continuously monitoring external signals such as technology shifts, regulatory changes, and economic pressures, then translating those insights into operational action. We explore his approach to looking beyond the company vision by breaking it down into achievable missions that link long-term goals with day-to-day work across cross-functional teams. A major focus of the discussion is AI readiness and how organisations can move beyond hype to real impact. JD outlines a five-stage process for becoming AI-ready, starting with digitising and centralising documents and data, followed by cleaning and structuring information for use with large language models. He explains how automating repetitive workflows, modernising infrastructure, and ensuring interoperability across systems such as ERP and HR platforms create the foundation for orchestrated automation at scale. Governance and access controls complete the picture, ensuring that AI deployment meets both internal and regulatory standards. We also look at how Vasion balances short-term market needs with a long-term platform vision. JD describes how leveraging the company's market-leading print infrastructure products supports current growth, while investing in R&D drives the development of a multi-product SaaS platform designed to integrate AI across the enterprise. A customer-first mindset shapes every decision, from pricing to product development, with continuous engagement through advisory boards, surveys, and direct conversations ensuring that partner strategies align with customer priorities. To illustrate these principles in action, JD shares how Vasion responded to market demand for system-generated print job support by developing a SaaS-based output automation product. This pivot addressed a gap created by ERP and EMR vendors moving customers to the cloud and positioned Vasion at the start of its multi-product journey. We discuss the signals leaders should watch to keep strategy relevant, including shifts in customer behaviour, the pace of technology adoption, and internal friction that may indicate misalignment. JD likens strategy to a GPS system, with vision as the destination and constant recalibration required to navigate roadblocks and changing conditions. The conversation closes with a focus on embedding strategic agility into company culture. JD explains Vasion's Missions of Aspirational Performance system, which connects corporate values directly to execution by breaking down strategic goals into work that individuals can see contributing to the bigger picture. He also shares his personal three-pronged approach to continuous learning, combining formal education, informal learning, and mentor-driven guidance. This episode offers practical insight for leaders navigating uncertainty, balancing present-day demands with future opportunity, and embedding adaptability into the DNA of their organisations.

Erica Groussman went from zero sales and deep debt to getting TRUBAR into Whole Foods, Target, and thousands of stores across North America, all by staying committed to a vision she wasn't willing to give up on.In this episode, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Erica about how a simple desire for a clean, delicious protein bar led to one of the fastest-growing plant-based snack brands on the shelf. Erica shares what those early days really looked like, driving around with samples in the backseat, asking salons and yoga studios to take a chance on her product, and putting marketing expenses on her personal credit card. She also opens up about the moment everything nearly fell apart after bringing in a partner who mismanaged the business, and what it took to take back control and keep going.Where do you draw the line between persistence and letting go?

Public SaaS companies are growing faster—but private equity–backed SaaS companies are doing it more profitably. In this episode, AJ and Asad dig into new data from David Spitz comparing ARR growth and EBITDA margins across both groups, and debate what's really driving the difference: lower R&D spend, selection bias, or superior go-to-market execution. They also unpack the implications of long CAC paybacks, PE-style operational rigor, and whether most founders truly understand the capital partners they're signing up with. Thanks for tuning in!

Stigall thinks its key to have a full understanding of the vision Trump is attempting to achieve. Not just this month, this year, or even four years from now. Trump is rebuilding this country in the image of its great industrialist past. Democrats, meanwhile simply cannot pull out of their political "death spiral" and the New York Times lays out just how bad their polices truly are after 2024's bruising. Much is being debated about the big, beautiful bill as you know but can the Senate make it better? Stigall is joined by chief economist Steve Moore and one of the Republican final hawks who passed the House version last week Congressman Scott Perry. Plus, the movies had a big weekend, a Duck Dynasty star goes home, and the MAHA movement makes the rounds on the Sunday shows. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow-Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.
