Do you really have to train a VA?I used to think if I just hired someone “already experienced,” I wouldn't have to. Turns out that's not true—you always have to do some training. Even a senior programmer still needs to learn my processes, tools, and expectations.What I've learned is this: training isn't just about skills—it's about trust. And when your VA trusts you, they'll stick around, work harder, and even surprise you with how much they can do. Here's what I break down in this episode

Dan Deming expects August's PCE report to come in line with expectations, but warns that the full impact of tariffs on inflation may not yet be priced in. He notes that today's corporate profit data was a miss, but the consumer remains strong, with spending up 2.5% for the quarter. Deming also discusses the moves in the commodity space, particularly in gold and silver, which he believes could be a "canary in the coal mine" for potential market disruption.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

(00:00-00:30) Joe Potenza scaled his wholesaling business to $400-500K/month, with the goal of reaching $1 million/month in the next ~24 months. He attributes success largely to mastering ads (Google, Facebook) and staying adaptive as systems change.(02:13-02:43) His operations are well scaled: the wholesaling business runs mostly without his constant involvement. Profits go into buying rental real estate—he owns ~70 rental units ranging from single-family homes to smaller apartment buildings.(04:21-06:26) Team structure: ~20-22 staff. In the past year they've not grown much in headcount, but they made operational adjustments. They're converting many 1099 contractors to W-2 employees to add stability and professionalism.(05:27-06:57) Business model & Lead flow: • Marketing/ad spend heavily focused on PPC: Joe expects to spend ~$1M/year on Google Ads. • Structure: a lead gen system → acquisition sales teams to get contracts → disposition sales teams to sell/assign contracts → transaction coordinators to close deals.(09:57-10:30) Geographic & deal types: They operate in ~32 states, but ~80-90% of revenue comes from about 10-12 states. They do “assignment” deals, traditional cash equity deals, and novations; creative deals have been mostly dropped.(12:11-14:28) SOPs, underwriting & disposition system: They use standard operating procedures (SOPs) for each type of market (metro, suburb, rural). They track cancellations carefully, analyze why deals fall apart, and adapt both underwriting (pricing & comps) and disposition strategy based on market type and local factors.(18:06-20:46) Documentation & training: Emphasis on documenting everything (playbooks, video walkthroughs using Loom, etc.). Training combines reading SOPs + live walkthroughs + hands-on coaching to ensure people follow the SOPs properly, not just theoretically.(21:13-23:37) Remote vs office & culture: He started remote, but now believes having an office is better for culture, leadership development, and maintaining high standards for sales teams. Remote works in some roles, but harder to build leadership virtually.(29:28-35:14) His backstory & hustle: Joe nearly declared bankruptcy on a rehabbing project; to recover he committed to wholesale real estate full-throttle. During that period, he worked ~80-100 hrs/week, doing tons of calls, texts etc., to make enough deals to pay off debt. He made ~$400K profit in his first 12 months of wholesaling, but sacrificed personal life heavily.(52:29-52:59) Margins & long-term vision: Their wholesaling business has margins of ~40-50%. Joe is focused not just on revenue but building a real estate portfolio, growing sustainably, and maintaining integrity (transparent with sellers, ethical contracts) so the business lasts and has strong reputation.

I built an eight-figure business working 15 hours a week—and the reason is simple: Filipino Virtual Assistants.Most business owners think hiring a VA is risky, complicated, or only good for small tasks. But here's the truth: a VA can do almost anything you can do on a computer or phone—admin, customer support, bookkeeping, marketing, design, coding, even running six-figure ad campaigns. In this episode, I walk through everything I've learned since hiring my first VA back in 2005 (who still works with me today). Where to hire, what to look for, what tools to use, how to train, and how to build trust—and why the leap you're scared to take is the one that gives you back your time, your freedom, and your best chance at real growth.Here's what you'll take away from this episode:✅ What a VA really is (and isn't)—not just “cheap help,” but long-term teammates

SEO Services Edition: Is SEO "Dead" in 2025? Who Knows? (Case Studies, Testimonials, and Ultimate Guide with Favour Obasi-Ike) | Get exclusive SEO newsletters in your inbox.Favour Obasi-Ike presents an engaging and conversational discussion that emphatically argues for the continued relevance of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in 2025 and beyond, directly refuting the idea that SEO is "dead."Favour Obasi-Ike, joined by other marketing professionals (with a guest LIVE! audio testimonial), highlights that SEO is foundational for online visibility across various platforms, including traditional search engines and AI-driven systems like ChatGPT. The dialogue stresses the importance of consistent content creation, strategic updates, and a holistic approach to online presence, emphasizing that SEO is not merely about keywords but about understanding user intent and providing valuable, well-structured information.Favour Obasi-Ike illustrates these points with practical examples and case studies, demonstrating how effective SEO can significantly boost website traffic, lead generation, and overall business growth by ensuring content is discoverable and impactful. The discussion ultimately positions SEO as a continuous, essential investment that underpins all successful digital marketing efforts.Next Steps for Digital Marketing + SEO Services:>> Need SEO Services?

Visit our Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services.FAQs about the Is SEO "Dead" in 2025? Who Knows? Episode:1. Is SEO dead in 2025?No, SEO is not dead in 2025; in fact, it's more vital than ever. The perception that SEO might be obsolete often stems from a misunderstanding of what it truly encompasses. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is fundamentally about being discoverable online. With 8.2 billion people in the world and 1.1 billion websites, and an astounding 8 to 16 billion daily searches on Google alone (with 15% being new searches every day), the act of searching for information is constant and growing.The conversation clarifies that "SEO" isn't limited to traditional search engines like Google. Platforms such as ChatGPT, Google, Reddit, TikTok, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube all function as "search engines" where content needs to be optimized to be found. Therefore, anything you do to increase your visibility on these platforms is a form of SEO. The speaker emphasizes that fancy new terms like GEO, AEO, AIO, or SXO are just "cosmetics" for the same underlying principle: making your content discoverable. The core idea is that if you're not focusing on SEO, you're missing out on crucial opportunities for people to find your website and business.2. How has AI impacted SEO, and does it replace traditional SEO efforts?AI does not replace traditional SEO; instead, it exposes and adds structure to it. AI tools and platforms like ChatGPT, Alexa, Siri, Grock, Deepseek, Meta AI, Cloud, Perplexity, and Gemini rely on information from existing traditional platforms and servers. This means that to be found by AI search engines, your content first needs to be optimized and present on these traditional sources (like Google, Bing, Yandex, etc.).The speaker highlights that AI search engines respond based on information given from a "source." If you are not optimizing your original content and website (the "source"), you cannot become a "resource" for AI. AI is looking for well-structured, authoritative content with clear brand citations and links. Having duplicate profiles or unverified business claims on platforms like LinkedIn, for example, can negatively impact how AI (and traditional search engines) perceive your online presence, making it harder for your business to be recognized and recommended. Essentially, AI leverages and amplifies the importance of a robust, well-optimized online foundation.3. What are the key elements for a strong online presence in 2025, beyond just keywords?In 2025, a strong online presence moves beyond solely focusing on keywords to prioritizing conversations, user experience, and a holistic, structured approach to content. Key elements include:Content with Purpose: Focus on "who are you talking to? Who are you serving? Why are you showing up?" Your content should address specific questions and needs, aiming for positive, neutral, or negative sentiment analysis from AI.Continuous Optimization: SEO is not a one-time fix. Websites and content need regular updates. Blogs, for instance, have a *24-month cycle*, meaning consistent updates are crucial to maintain visibility. The "last modified" timestamp is vital for algorithms.Structured Content: Turn unstructured content (like a simple blog post) into structured articles with headings, internal/external links, embedded scripts, iframes, tables, infographics, FAQs, quotes, images, alt text, and schema (microdata/rich snippets). This makes it more digestible for both humans and search engines.Platform Integration & Tokenization: Your website should be connected to all relevant online platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, podcasts, etc.). When a page is updated, it gets "tokenized" (duplicated) across various search engines and platforms (Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing, ChatGPT). This ensures wide distribution and recognition.Google Search Console: This is paramount. Connecting your website to Google Search Console is the "internet service provider of Google" and allows you to track impressions, clicks, and positions, providing crucial data on your marketing efforts.E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness): Google's guideline emphasizes providing the best user experience. This means creating a well-structured, intentional, and high-quality online presence that builds trust and authority.4. Why is continuous content creation and updating crucial for SEO?Continuous content creation and updating are crucial because SEO is an ongoing process, not a one-time task. Websites need "oil changes" and "tire alignments" through new articles, blogs, and updates to remain healthy and high-performing for algorithms.Key reasons include:Content Decay: Blogs have a *24-month active cycle*. If content isn't updated within three years, its chances of sustaining visibility become slim, even with good initial content. The "last modified" timestamp on your content signals freshness and relevance to search engines.Algorithm Recognition: Search engines and AI prioritize active, recent, and updated information. Consistent updates help algorithms recognize your website as a continuously relevant and valuable source, leading to better rankings.Meeting Evolving Search Needs: Search volumes and user needs change with seasons, holidays, and emerging trends. Regularly updated content allows your business to align with these evolving search patterns.Increased Impressions and Authority: Consistently producing and updating 52 pieces of content a year can significantly boost your website's impressions and domain authority. This demonstrates expertise and a sustained commitment to providing value.Audience Retention: A continuous flow of valuable, updated content helps build an "attention map"that fosters a "retention curve," keeping your audience engaged and returning.5. How can businesses leverage diverse online platforms for SEO, and what's the role of podcasting?Businesses should leverage diverse online platforms by connecting their website as a central hub to all their social media, content, and directory listings. This creates a structured pathway for discovery and builds authority. The speaker emphasizes that platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Reddit are all search engines in their own right.Podcasting is highlighted as an exceptionally powerful tool for several reasons:Know, Like, and Trust Factor: Podcasting is described as the fastest way for someone to "know, like, and trust" you, as it allows for a deeper, more personal connection through voice.Authoritative Content: Like blogs and books, podcasts have an author, contributing to your overall "dominant authority online."Wide Distribution and Citation: Podcasts are distributed across *30-40+ stations* (Spotify, Apple, Pandora, iHeart, Podcast Addict, Alexa), each acting as a resource. When AI (like ChatGPT) or other search engines cite a podcast link, it directly mentions your content and business.Content Repurposing: Turning podcast episodes into topical blogs (show notes with hypertext links) auto-indexes your content through servers, further increasing visibility across traditional and AI search engines.Organic Lead Generation: Podcasting can organically attract clients without needing paid ads. As demonstrated by a client who gained clients from Google and ChatGPT after starting a podcast, it builds authority that leads to organic discovery and trust.Niche-Based Search: Podcasting allows for highly niche-based content, meaning if you show up consistently, algorithms will rank and refer you to people specifically looking for your expertise.By integrating podcasts with other platforms (website, social media, email lists) and consistently producing valuable content, businesses can significantly expand their reach and establish strong online authority.6. What is the significance of "tokenization" and the "last modified" date for online content?"Tokenization" refers to the process where, every time you update or "last modify" a page on your website, that page is essentially duplicated or recognized as an individual entity that can be shown on various web platforms and search engines. For example, if your website is updated, that updated content can then appear on Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing, and even AI platforms like ChatGPT.The "last modified" date is a crucial signal to algorithms. Just like your phone updates its software regularly, your website content needs consistent updates. If a blog post, for instance, was published in 2022 and hasn't been updated by September 2025, the algorithm recognizes this lack of recent activity. While it might still appear online if there's no competition, its chances of sustaining visibility are slim. A recent "last modified" date indicates to search engines that the content is fresh, relevant, and actively maintained, increasing its likelihood of being found and ranked. This continuous "tokenization" of updated content across the web amplifies your digital footprint and authority.7. What is the speaker's definition of "future" and how does it relate to SEO?The speaker defines "future" based on its Latin origin, "futurist," meaning "to grow or become," and its dictionary definition as "the time or a period of time following the moment of speaking or writing; time regarded as still to come."This definition directly relates to SEO by emphasizing that every piece of content you create – whether speaking on a podcast or writing a blog post – is an act of "speaking or writing into the future." It's a proactive planning project where your current efforts manifest over time. Just as one plans to build a house with a blueprint, SEO involves strategic planning and consistent execution. Answering questions in the form of web links or podcast episodes serves as a long-term investment. The way you answer one question can lead to several more, creating a continuous flow of engagement and discovery. By actively creating content now, businesses are building an online presence that will continually attract users in the "time still to come," ensuring sustained growth and visibility.8. What essential steps should a business take to start or improve its SEO strategy, especially when seeking professional help?To effectively start or improve an SEO strategy, especially when seeking professional help, a business should take several essential steps:Establish a Foundational Online Presence: The absolute first step is to have a website, or at minimum, a domain name. A website acts as the "anchor" for your business online. Without one, you lack a central hub for discoverability and tracking.Connect to Google Search Console: This is non-negotiable. Google Search Console is the "internet service provider of Google" and allows you to track critical data like impressions, clicks, and positions, which are vital for understanding and proving SEO effectiveness.Define Goals and Strategy: Before engaging with an expert, have a clear understanding of your business goals. If you don't have an SEO strategy, bring your business plan, and a professional can help build one from there. This includes understanding who you are talking to, who you are serving, and why you are showing up.Understand Investment Levels: Be prepared for an investment. While specific figures are mentioned (starting around *$1,500/quarter*), the key is to recognize that SEO is a continuous investment, not a one-time expense, and it offers long-term gains.Prioritize Content Creation for Search Engines (and then humans): As advised, "write everything for search engines, not for you." Focus on creating content that aligns with how algorithms discover and present information. This indirectly means writing for humans as well, as search engines aim to serve relevant and valuable content to users.Embrace Multi-Platform Content: Create diverse content forms (blogs, podcasts, videos, social media posts) that answer common questions people are asking. Distribute this content across relevant platforms, ensuring interconnections (e.g., website links in podcast show notes).Be Intentional and Consistent: SEO requires active, consistent effort. Dedicate time weekly (e.g., 45 minutes a day for 45 days) or invest in professional management to consistently update and optimize your online presence. This consistency builds authority and ensures you're actively engaging with algorithms.Prepare for a Consultation: When booking a call with an SEO expert, be ready to discuss your website, business plan, and specific goals. Professionals will often audit your website, provide insights via Loom videos, and offer structured plans (quarterly, biannually, or annually) with clear communication (e.g., weekly recorded calls).Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Read SEO Articles>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY PodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
It's Casual Friday on the Majority Report On today's show: Revisions to the June and July job numbers show they were actually 21,000 less jobs added than initially reported. However, the ever optimist Howard Lutnick tells us to wait until a year from now when the job numbers will be amazing. Contributing writer to salon.com and proprietor of the Hullaballoo blog, Heather 'Digby' Parton joins us to wrap up the week's news. Could the US be working towards a regime change in Venezuela? Donald Trump is exacerbating the alienation of the US internationally. Trump posts an endless rant on the "Democrat Epstein Hoax" to Truth Social. Meanwhile, James O'Keefe posts hidden video footage of DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt claiming that the DOJ will redact all GOP names in the Epstein files and only include Democrats. Will Democrats grow a spine and vote to shut down the government or cave in again like they did in March. In the Fun Half Joe Rogan falls for an AI video of Tim Walz dancing and then covers it tracks by saying "it seems like something he would do". We look into to Joe Rogan's love of an easily debunked moon landing theory, and it shows how much of an unreliable narrator he is. Pete Hegseth claims that the Trump administration had complete authority to "smoke a drug boat" All that and more. Have a good weekend, folks. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

August's jobs report showed that the labor market is slowing, with only 22,000 jobs created—significantly fewer than the 75,000 expected. The news about the sluggish job market comes as Wall Street and Main Street grapple with uncertain economic conditions and fresh questions about tariffs. A federal appellate court is throwing out most of President Trump's tariffs, though the decision is on hold until mid-October, meaning tariffs are still being collected for now. The President hopes the Supreme Court will weigh in and uphold his tariff policies. Gary Kaltbaum, president of Kaltbaum Capital Management and a Fox Business contributor, joins Fox Business's Lydia Hu to break down the jobs report and explain why he thinks tariffs and other factors are making employers reluctant to hire. Then, Lydia speaks with Jeffrey Schwab, senior counsel and director of litigation at the Liberty Justice Center, who is representing some of the small companies legally challenging the administration's Trump policies. Schwab explains why the president's implementation of his trade policy is unconstitutional and how those tariffs are harming his clients. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode… The entrepreneurial journey is rarely a straight path; more often, it is marked by missteps, hard lessons, and unexpected pivots. Even seasoned founders can launch a new venture only to see it stumble at the very beginning. When this happens, how do you regroup, refine, and rebuild into something stronger? Eli Rubel, a seasoned entrepreneur and agency finance expert, experienced this firsthand when his latest venture faltered due to misaligned messaging and poor market fit. Rather than walking away, Eli leaned on his network of fellow founders, adjusted his positioning, and revamped his sales approach. These changes quickly turned early struggles into wins, landing his first clients and building momentum. He emphasizes the power of bootstrapping for flexibility, leveraging offshore teams for efficiency, and testing pricing to uncover true profitability. His journey exemplifies how adaptability, clarity, and persistence can transform setbacks into lasting growth. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz interviews Eli Rubel, Founder and CEO of Profit Labs, about turning early failures into profitable growth. Eli shares why he chose bootstrapping over venture capital, what he learned from a failed launch and pivot, and the costly mistake of keeping staff too long in a downturn. He also discusses scaling with offshore talent, the importance of time tracking, and how price testing can transform agency profitability.

The Republican spending bill signed into law by President Trump last month slashes an estimated $150 billion in federal Medicaid funding to California over the next 10 years. Nearly 40% percent of Californians rely on Medi-Cal for health coverage, and now millions are expected to fall off the rolls. That's leaving medical providers bracing for impacts, especially in places already struggling to serve all who need care. We talk to heads of clinics in the Central Valley, Shasta County and Los Angeles to hear how they're coping.
