Nothing is technically broken. Revenue is growing, teams are expanding, activity is high. So why does cash never close where you expect? Why are the same decisions taking longer every month? Why do leaders keep double-checking numbers that should already be right?    In this solo episode Julie Wilkinson breaks down the three operational areas where financial systems quietly fail growing businesses — and what it actually costs when nobody catches it.     She covers the gap between front-end systems (CRM, project management) and back-end finance systems, what happens when purchase orders are bypassed, and why integrity reports — not more data — are what businesses actually need.

Last week we showed you why you keep losing money on every job. This week, we show you how to stop it.In part 2 of this two-part series, Clark and James get fully practical — five systems, real language, and the exact processes they use to protect every dollar on every job. No theory, no fluff. Just the playbook.They cover:Fix #1: How to turn your estimate into a scope fence with exclusions, not just inclusionsThe line every estimate needs: "This does not include…"Fix #2: How the CEA sets the culture on day one and trains your client before a hammer swingsWhy telling your client to "be a Karen" with your scope is the smartest move you can makeFix #3: The work order rule that protects you from disappearing change ordersWhy charging for change orders isn't greedy — it's accounting for the real costFix #4: How to hold the line on a change order without losing the clientThe silent death of clients who love you but never refer youFix #5: The bank line item — Clark loves it, James doesn't, and you get both argumentsIf part 1 made you realize how much you're losing, part 2 is how you stop the bleeding.If you're doing $350K–$2M a year in revenue, coaching pays for itself. A 5% efficiency gain alone covers the cost — and that's before we even talk about growth. We help contractors stop losing money on crews, change orders, and inefficient operations — and start scaling. Ready to have the conversation?

SpaceX is set to go public on June 12, 2026 at a $1.75 trillion valuation, the largest IPO in history. The company is targeting a $75 billion raise at $135 per share. But the S-1 filing reveals a contradiction: Starlink generates billions while the company posts a net loss, driven by the xAI merger and a massive bet on AI compute. This episode breaks down the SpaceX IPO filing. xAI posted a $2.47 billion operating loss in Q1 2026, and Starlink revenue is covering most of it. Then two compute deals changed the math. Anthropic agreed to pay $1.25 billion a month to rent xAI's Colossus 1 data center, and Google signed a $920 million per month deal, both running through 2029. Together that's about $75 billion in contracted future revenue. We cover how SpaceX shifted from running GPUs internally for Grok to operating as an AI cloud infrastructure provider, the multi-class share structure that keeps Elon Musk in control, the possible Tesla merger tying together chips, data centers, and robotics, and the FCC filing for a million-satellite "space cloud." Plus where the $600-700 billion premium above Starlink and launch is actually coming from, and what a generational liquidity event means for employees and VC backers. SpaceX IPO 2026, xAI merger, Starlink revenue, Elon Musk, $1.75 trillion valuation, Google compute deal, Anthropic Colossus, AI infrastructure, orbital computing.

 A lot of dental practices look busy on the surface… but keeping the schedule full and actually growing are two very different things.In this episode of The Dental Brief, host Patrick Chavoustie sits down with Dr. Bryson LeMone from Profit Socket to talk about why many practice owners are working harder than ever while still feeling like all the hard work isn't paying off the way they expected. If you've ever wondered where the money is really going in your practice, this conversation is worth listening to.Here's what they cover:-How Dr. Bryson LeMone Got Into Dentistry-Rising Costs and Insurance Challenges in Dentistry-The Hidden Costs Hurting Dental Practices-Why Going Fee-for-Service Isn't Always the Answer-The Disconnect Between Production and Profit-Financial Mistakes Many Dentists Overlook  *****  SPONSOR:– Omni Premier Marketing: https://omnipremier.com/dental-marketing/   CONNECT:– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedentalbrief/– Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentalbriefpodcast/– LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dental-brief-podcast-564267217– Patrick's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pchavoustie/– Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd08JzybKfNH0v12Q9jf50w   WEBSITE:– https://dentalbrief.com/

Do you actually know which of your AI customers are making you money and which are quietly destroying your gross margin? In episode #375, Ben Murray breaks down the shape of AI usage and why the distribution curve of your customers determines whether your AI subscription product is profitable. This is why Anthropic and GitHub changed their pricing. Heavy users on a flat subscription can quietly turn a 40% gross margin into a negative one, and most finance teams are not tracking token usage by customer in enough detail to see it coming. The three AI usage distribution scenarios every SaaS CFO needs to model: normal, right skew, and left skew, and what each does to your gross margin Why a right-skewed distribution means your light users are subsidizing your heavy users, and how to spot when that subsidy stops working How a left-skewed distribution can leave 80% of customers unprofitable and drag overall gross margin into the negatives Why median, mean, and P90 token usage by customer are now core SaaS finance metrics, not just product analytics What finance needs from product and engineering — usage by customer, model mix, input and output token pricing — to run real pricing scenario analysis Tune in before your next pricing review and find out where your AI margin is actually leaking.

This week, Jason is joined by world-renowned dancer, entrepreneur, and Dancing With The Stars legend, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, for a conversation about career longevity, entrepreneurship, financial lessons, family, and the relentless work ethic that has fueled every chapter of his life.Before becoming one of the most recognizable faces in ballroom dance, Maks immigrated to the United States from Ukraine with his family in search of opportunity. Arriving in Brooklyn without speaking English and with little more than determination, he quickly immersed himself in the growing ballroom dance community that would eventually become the foundation for an extraordinary career.Maks reflects on his rise from competitive dance champion to one of Dancing With The Stars' most iconic professionals, sharing how the show evolved into a cultural phenomenon spanning multiple generations. He explains why the current success of Dancing With The Stars isn't an accident, how social media transformed the show's reach, and why today's professional dancers are becoming stars in their own right.Beyond television, Maks opens up about the business side of his career. He shares lessons learned from building a nationwide dance studio company, launching new ventures, investing in businesses, and navigating costly entrepreneurial mistakes along the way. From a failed restaurant venture that never opened to learning hard lessons about money management and lifestyle inflation, Maks reveals the financial realities behind life in entertainment.Jason and Maks also discuss the importance of diversification, building businesses outside of television, and why financial success isn't just about making money — it's about learning how to keep it. Maks explains how he and his wife, fellow Dancing With The Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd, continue balancing entrepreneurship, parenthood, and multiple growing businesses while raising three young children.The conversation also takes a deeply personal turn as Maks reflects on his upbringing, his parents' sacrifices, the emotional moment his father expressed pride in his accomplishments, and the perspective he carries from staying closely connected to the ongoing war in Ukraine.Throughout the episode, Maks shares the mindset that has guided him through success, setbacks, criticism, and reinvention. Whether discussing dance, business, family, or personal growth, one theme remains constant: an unwavering commitment to hard work.From immigration and ballroom dance to entrepreneurship and fatherhood, Maks reveals what it truly takes to build a lasting career while continuing to evolve long after the spotlight shifts.Maks reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Subscribe to the Trading Secrets podcast!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyVideo: Marc ColcerGuest: Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Sony's getting fed up with Bungie and Naughty Dog over their lousy returns -- the PlayStation parent company dropped a brutal internal memo admitting the $3.6 billion Bungie acquisition is still bleeding cash after Destiny 2's 97% player crash and Marathon's endless delays while Naughty Dog's live-service pivot got the axe and their new unannounced project is already running over budget with zero guaranteed hits. Yeah after years of treating both studios like golden children Sony's now cracking the whip on costs and timelines because those "prestige" single-player bangers and live-service dreams aren't printing money like the board expected -- nothing like watching your biggest first-party bets turn into expensive lessons in "maybe don't bet the farm on hype."

Most senior living operators have a rigorous clinical admissions process — but almost no financial one. In this conversation, Sunbound CEO Manny Cominsky makes the case that the admission is the single most financially dangerous moment in senior living, and that operators are absorbing months of lost margin on residents who couldn't afford care from day one. He shares how leading operators are now running financial underwriting in parallel with clinical assessment — stopping bad debt before it starts. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“The extra 1% is sometimes just being realistic about what is possible.” Most coaches think profit problems come from not getting enough clients. Sometimes the real problem is what is happening behind the scenes. Poor communication.High turnover.Unclear expectations.Clients quietly leaving.Systems breaking down. In this episode, Cathy Smith chats with Todd Krause about the hidden profit leaks that can quietly drain your coaching business even while you are growing. Because more revenue does not always mean more profit.

In this episode of The Kash & Dash Show, hosts Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Jeff Charlton, founder of REI Print Mail, to talk about why direct mail is still one of the most powerful marketing tools in real estate.Jeff has been an entrepreneur since he was 14, built a major direct mail and printing company, and has bought 27 companies over the last 25 years. But this episode is not just about postcards and mailers. It is about marketing, business, follow-up, execution, and why so many investors are quietly losing deals before they ever get a real shot at them.Jeff breaks down why most direct mail campaigns fail, why cheap lists can cost you more money in the long run, and why investors need to stop treating mail like a one-time lottery ticket. He also explains why direct mail has a “tail,” meaning a mail piece can bring in leads months or even years after it was sent. Ted shares a real example of landing a 14-unit deal from a letter that had been sitting in a drawer for years. Want to learn more from Jeff Charlton?Jeff will be speaking live at Omaha REIA on June 2nd.

Joe Killinger has spent over 30 years in real estate — rehabbing SoCal houses he was literally living inside of, running real estate auctions with unpublished reserves that almost got him swung at by angry buyers, getting laid off, laying his partner off, building three companies to over $5M in revenue inside 18 months. He's done $950M in transactions across more than 6,500 assets. But the move that should matter most to independent brokers right now is the one he made in 2021 — the CRE Affiliate Network. A no-fee, referral-only network designed so a five-person shop can hand off a deal in Dallas and get paid like a national.In this episode, Kyle and Joe get into:The real estate auction playbook The losses that birthed the CRE Affiliate Network The 40-member milestone "What can you offer that we can't?"The business behind the brand The AI staffing resetThe decision-tree system for protecting your timeOne asset class, one market If you're an independent broker, a small shop owner, or a junior agent trying to figure out how to compete without the national brand on your business card — this one's the map.

You pull up to a house. You see the yard, the cars, the neighborhood. Before you knock on the door, you've already decided what this customer can afford. You don't know you're doing it. But it's costing you money. Chris Elmore walks through the five cognitive biases that affect every tech in the field — and shows how each one shows up on real service calls. The plumber who skips the shower and goes straight to the water heater. The tech who feels guilty about his own price because a customer asked for a ballpark. The moment you see someone just like you and suddenly they're getting a deal they didn't ask for. Then he takes you to the top of Mount Stupid — the Dunning-Kruger effect — and explains why familiarity is not mastery and why the best in the world never stop training. You'll learn: The five cognitive biases that cost techs money on every call Why your brain makes decisions about customers before you knock How anchoring bias makes you feel guilty about your own pricing Why the customer who looks like you is the most dangerous one to sell to What Mount Stupid is and how to get off it Full show notes and resources: servextra.com Subscribe & listen: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5DlsGABopPu9Qq9NNhK4hu?si=70c11c4b09aa4dec Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/windshield-time/id1386770507 All episodes: https://www.servextra.com/episodes/

You should measure profitability on jobs after they've finished.  And you should compare it to what you thought it would be when you quoted it.The point, of course, is to check if the job made as much as it was supposed to and if it didn't, it's for you to figure out why.Specifically, for you to spot things that keep going wrong and affecting your profits and fix them so they stop doing that, and your business makes more money.--------------------------------------Get the JOB PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS for Trades and Builders here: https://pages.smallfish.com.au/job-profitability-analysis-dlIf you want more money (profit), more time (off work), and more freedom (from work, stress, responsibility) Book a Money Call: smallfish.com.au/tradies/money-call/FOLLOW US AT:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smallfishcoach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/smallfishcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/smallfishbusinesscoach/YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/smallfishau

Robert Kowton left a decade at Coca-Cola, walked into freight brokering in 2008 with zero customers, and built a reputation around two things most brokers avoid: LTL and US-Canada cross-border freight. In this conversation, he breaks down exactly why those shipments trip people up and what it takes to get them right.In this episode, you'll learn:Why LTL freight pricing works like a la carte dining, where every carrier action from inside delivery to lift gates is a separate feeThe cross-border documentation mistakes that route your freight to a bonded warehouse in 2026How Robert's "quote to execute" method means he never quotes a load without a carrier plan already in placeWhy he went broad on commodities instead of niching down, and how that protected him through every market downturnThe cold calling approach that still works: research the commodity, trace the supply chain, follow up on the day you said you wouldReal advice for people thinking about becoming a freight agent with no experienceWatch this episode on YouTubeLinks and Resources:Robert Kowton on LinkedInCDN Freight Broker on YouTubeSPI Logistics Freight Agent Program: https://success.spi3pl.com/SPI Logistics Freight Agent Podcast Series: https://digitaldispatch.io/freight-agent-guide/Robert's fav business tools:Nozbe: https://nozbe.com/File Center: https://www.filecenter.com/Evernote: https://evernote.com/RingCentral: https://www.ringcentral.com/ -----------------------------------------THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!SPI Logistics has been a Day 1 supporter of this podcast which is why we're proud to promote them in every episode.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Peter Justen, a serial entrepreneur, efficiency expert, and the man on a mission to fix one of the most broken application processes in America. Peter's background reads like a masterclass in reinvention, from driving a bulldozer as a kid in a town where your options were the steel plant or the auto factory, to building nationwide mortgage banking companies, testifying on Capitol Hill, and constructing entrepreneurship ecosystems for cities, state governments, and even the nation of South Africa. What ties all of it together is a single question he has asked his entire life: why not? Peter's pivot into the world of Medicaid was not a calculated business move. It was personal. When he moved his mother to Virginia in her mid-eighties and tried to get her enrolled in a program she was perfectly qualified for, what should have been a straightforward process turned into a four-month ordeal of back-and-forth letters, confusing questions, and daily phone calls filled with fear and anxiety from a woman who just needed to know if she could afford her medication. One of the application questions asked his 85-year-old mother if she was pregnant. That was the moment Peter decided someone had to fix it, and if not him, then who? What he built is remarkable in its simplicity. By hiring a data science firm to identify only the questions that truly matter, Peter's team reduced Virginia's 200-plus question application down to roughly 20. The entire process now takes about 12 minutes from start to finish, pulling third-party verified data to auto-populate the application rather than burdening already-stressed applicants with information they may not have on hand. For the states, the result is an application that arrives complete and pre-verified, cutting processing time and costs by roughly 75%. One cost-benefit analysis for a mid-sized southern state projected savings of approximately $2 billion per year after paying for Peter's platform. The conversation takes a powerful turn when Peter connects this work to the rural hospital crisis gripping America. Roughly 70% of rural hospitals are currently operating in the red, driven largely by $42 billion a year in uncompensated care for patients without insurance. Peter explains that an estimated 35% of those patients are eligible for Medicaid but never apply due to the intimidating complexity of the process. His solution is to embed the 12-minute application directly into hospital workflows, at the appointment desk, in the emergency room, anywhere a patient first makes contact, so that the Medicaid clock starts ticking immediately. Since Medicaid reimburses from the date of application rather than the date of approval, even a same-day submission can make an enormous financial difference for both the patient and the hospital. Ty and Peter also dig into the fraud problem that is costing the Medicaid system an estimated $75 billion a year, with Minnesota's scandal making headlines as just one example of a nationwide issue. Peter is clear that the answer is a surgical scalpel, not a machine gun. Cutting fraud without cutting off the people who genuinely need care is the only acceptable outcome, and his platform is built to detect fraud before it enters the system rather than chase it afterward. He shares the story of a 43-year-old man undergoing chemotherapy who lost his Medicaid coverage simply because he was too sick to complete the renewal application, a consequence that is both heartbreaking and entirely preventable. Peter closes with a message he wants everyone to hear: Medicaid is not just for poor people. It is for people who need help, and the social stigma surrounding it is keeping eligible Americans from accessing care they have every right to receive. He has also written a book on the history of Medicaid and is giving away free copies to anyone who reaches out directly. His contact information will be in the show notes.

What does it really take to climb the pro tennis rankings? In this Q1 check-in with Jamie Loeb, we sit down with a touring pro to talk about the realities most players never see. If you've ever dreamed of playing professional tennis or wondered why it's so hard to break through, you're not alone. The journey isn't just about winning matches. It's about chasing ranking points, managing travel, and often losing money while trying to move forward. In this episode, we go beyond the highlight reels and dive into the real story of life on tour. As players and gear experts, we've spent years around the game, but this conversation brings a perspective that every serious player and fan should hear.

Is your money actually working for you… or quietly losing value in the bank?

Reach Out Via Text!In this episode, Jeremiah Jennings breaks down one of the most critical (and often overlooked) systems in a landscape business—accurate estimating. He dives deep into why most contractors are unknowingly losing money, not because they aren't winning jobs, but because they don't truly know their numbers. Jeremiah walks through the power of production rates, how to actually build them in the field, and why templates are the key to speed and consistency in your estimating process. He also opens up about real mistakes he's made—jobs that doubled in labor time—and how those lessons shaped his current systems. To wrap it up, he shifts to the front end of the business, highlighting how poor lead intake and slow response times are costing companies thousands in missed opportunities. This episode is a practical, no-fluff guide to tightening your systems, protecting your margins, and scaling with confidence.Support the show10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcastSignup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signupBook A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcastLawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/Email-ggreenlandscapes@gmail.comGrowing Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/

Most business owners spend their time focused on growth — revenue, employees, and operations. But the biggest opportunities to build wealth often aren't in the day-to-day. They're in how the business is structured, how advisors work together, and how efficiently profits are turned into personal wealth. In this episode, Andrew is joined by Bayntree Wealth's Director of Corporate Development, Brian Hartstein, to introduce the Four Corners of Business Owner Planning — a framework for identifying where businesses are losing money and where untapped opportunities exist. With over three decades of experience working with business owners, Brian breaks down how risk protection, employee benefits, structure and compliance, and owner wealth strategy all need to work together to create a more efficient and valuable business. You'll also learn why most advisory teams operate in silos, how that disconnect costs business owners money, and how proactive coordination can unlock opportunities that often go unnoticed. In this podcast interview, you'll learn:  The Four Corners framework and how it applies to your business Where business owners are unknowingly losing money How to use pre-tax dollars more effectively Why most advisors fail to communicate — and what that costs you How proactive planning can create better long-term outcomes

Episode Description:This archival conversation with Ramit Sethi is a masterclass in systems thinking, behavioral psychology, and building a “rich life” on your own terms.Long before online courses were mainstream, Ramit was quietly building scalable systems—automating money, testing business ideas rigorously, and rejecting conventional wisdom around careers, housing, and passion. In this conversation, he explains why most advice fails, why willpower is overrated, and how to engineer results instead of hoping for inspiration.They cover negotiation psychology, competence triggers, breaking into dream jobs without HR, why buying a house isn't always the best investment, and how to build a real online business—from research to first sale.This episode still holds up because it's not about hacks. It's about structure. Systems. Leverage.
