(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.

Send us a textA hundred years ago, shantyboat communities could be found along many rivers in the US. Historian Gregg Andrews went in-depth to research these communities, inspired in part by the discovery of a personal connection to them, which resulted in a book called “Shantyboats and Roustabouts: The River Poor of St. Louis, 1875 to 1930.” In this episode, I talk with Gregg about those shantyboat communities. After Gregg describes how he got interested in shantyboat communities, he describes what a shantyboat was and who lived in them, what it was like to live in one of these communities and their frontier-like culture, some of the characters he came across, including Louis Seibt and Rose Mosenthein, the legal basis shantyboaters used to defend their communities (often successfully), and their eventual dissolution.

Andrew Wang discusses the potential for the Supreme Court to weigh in on the Trump administration's authority to impose tariffs. With a federal appeals court striking down the majority of President Trump's tariffs, Wang believes the decision could set a precedent on economic power between the President and Congress. He notes that 40% of CFOs cite tariff concerns as their top business worry, with some companies like Lululemon (LULU) planning to pass on 100% of tariff-related costs to customers. Wong thinks this may not be realistic and could lead to negative impacts on company margins and earnings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Episode Summary:Welcome back! Today I sit down with Nick Hancock—better known online as the mattress guy—to talk about what it means to own your lane and go all in. Nick's story is wild: from getting fired from a 9–5 to stepping into his family's decades-old mattress business, he's now running his own shop and using social media to disrupt an industry that hasn't changed much in years. We talk about imposter syndrome, building a family legacy, and how he's turning personal brand + transparency into six-figure deals with hotels and Airbnbs. Nick proves that sometimes the “unsexy” businesses are the ones with the biggest opportunity.Key Highlights:- Family Legacy: Nick's dad started in the mattress business 30 years ago, and now the Hancock name carries weight in the industry.- Imposter Syndrome Breakthrough: For years Nick questioned if he was just riding his dad's coattails—until he went all-in and owned his role.- Margins & Models: From consumer sales to Airbnbs to hotels, Nick breaks down how the economics of mattresses really work (and why people overpay).- Power of Personal Brand: By showing up authentically on Twitter, Nick's landed major clients, hotel contracts, and nonstop leads—all without ad spend.- Transparency Wins: Customers choose him not just for price (savings of thousands per order) but because they trust him.- Bigger Vision: The mattress business is just the start—Nick's building something bigger and using today's wins to fuel tomorrow's vision.Final Thoughts:This episode is a reminder that you don't have to chase the trendy thing—sometimes the gold is hiding in plain sight. If you own your story, build trust, and put yourself out there, you can turn any industry into an opportunity.

Farm Transition: How Do You Plan for Tomorrow When Today Feels Impossible?  In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, I tackle one of the hardest realities facing Canadian farm families today: how do you even think about transition planning when you're just trying to survive? Margins are tight. Input costs are soaring. Grain prices are weak, and the cost of cattle is through the roof. While many others are upside down and facing a tough reality due to uncertainty of government policy and trade wars. For many, it feels nearly impossible to look beyond the next season. But here's the truth: planning for the future isn't a luxury—it's a lifeline. Transition planning isn't just about retirement, it's about protecting your farm, your family, and your legacy against the unexpected. You'll hear: - Why transition planning actually supports farm survival during tough times. - How to rethink what “transition” really means. - What I mean by “the generational clock is ticking." - The urgency of the next decade: *A May 2025 University of Alberta study shows 88% of Canadian farmers don't have a formal succession plan. *By 2033, 60% of farmers will be over 65. *Two-thirds of Canadian farms have no succession plan, and 85% of retiring farmers haven't identified a successor. - Practical, low-cost steps you can take today to start—even if you feel like you can't afford the time or money. - Why starting small now can prevent family conflict, secure financing, and safeguard the farm's future. This conversation is about farming dreams and keeping the family farm alive for generations to come. Transition planning isn't about someday, it's about making sure your farm can weather both today's storms and tomorrow's unknowns. Tune in for strategies, stories, and hope for farm families who feel stuck between survival and succession. I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I enjoyed creating this episode. Thanks for tuning in friend, Tracy =============================

What are the implications of Jesus's radical ethics of love and shalom? How far are Christ followers meant to go with the compassion and witness of the gospel? Philosopher Tom Crisp (Biola University) reflects on how a powerful religious experience transformed his academic career and personal faith. Once focused on metaphysics and abstract philosophy, Crisp was confronted in 2009 by the radical compassion of Jesus in the Gospels. That moment led him toward the Catholic Worker movement, the teachings of Dorothy Day, and ultimately, deep involvement in labour and immigrant justice through Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE). He describes participating in civil disobedience, forming solidarity with marginalized communities, and serving as a nonviolent presence in immigration courts where migrants face arrest and deportation. Through these stories, Crisp testifies to the cost and invitation of discipleship: following Jesus into the margins with courage, humility, and love. Episode Highlights “What struck me was Jesus's deep compassion, mercy, fiery concern for people in the margins. And it came to me as deeply convicting.” “I immersed myself in the writings of Dorothy Day… she's had an enormous influence on how I've come to think about what it would look like to be a Jesus follower in our context.” “I was having this very powerful sense of God's presence, feeling broken by it, feeling like I'd hit a turning point in my life.” “If Jesus really is the Jesus of the margins that I'm seeing in the Gospels, then I need to figure out how to get to the margins.” “This isn't a matter of guilt, it's invitation… we're always being invited further in.” “When you're with someone who's been separated from their children, when you're with someone who's shaking with fear… it's just a completely different thing.” “So a horrific violation of human rights is happening around us in our immigration courts, and it's happening here in Orange County.” “We are trying to be a presence of love for everybody there.” Helpful Links and Resources Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE) Shalom Ethics: Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself, by Thomas M. Crisp The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical, by Shane Claiborne About Tom Crisp Tom Crisp is professor of philosophy at Biola University, specializing in ethics and justice. After completing his PhD at Notre Dame, Crisp shifted his academic work toward Christian ethics following a transformative religious experience in 2009. He is a community member of the Orange County Catholic Worker and active in Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE), advocating for immigrant and labour rights through nonviolent action and accompaniment. Show Notes Religious Experience and Transformation Tom Crisp recounts his 2009 religious awakening while reading the Gospels. “Fire—my soul is blowing apart, I need to quit my job.” Realization of Jesus's “deep compassion, mercy, fiery concern for people in the margins.” Movement from abstract philosophy to Neighbour Love Command. Catholic Worker movement and Dorothy Day Influence of Shane Claiborne's The Irresistible Revolution and new monastic movement. Encounter with Dorothy Day's writings as a model of radical discipleship. Involvement with the Orange County Catholic Worker community. Attraction to Catholicism Inspired by Notre Dame liturgy and Benedictine practices. Influenced by saints like St. Francis, Maximilian Kolbe, Oscar Romero. “As I spend time in Catholic spaces, I feel the presence of this cloud of witnesses.” CLUE and Nonviolent Action History of CLUE: founded by Rev. James Lawson, trained in Gandhian nonviolence, connected to Martin Luther King Jr. Focus on labour justice and immigrant rights. Training in nonviolent presence, civil disobedience, and accompaniment. Example: shutting down LAX in a five-hundred-person protest for hotel workers. Court Observation and Migrant Accompaniment CLUE partnership with Orange County Rapid Response Network. ICE arrests of migrants who believed they had lawful parole status. “A horrific violation of human rights is happening around us in our immigration courts.” Strategy of nonviolent presence to “dramatize bureaucratic and physical violence.” Clergy presence offers spiritual authority and comfort. Judges and ICE agents sometimes allow moments of prayer or comfort before deportation. “We want to accompany migrants into this dark, dark space and be there as a source of comfort to them.” Formation and Solidarity “When you're with someone who's been separated from their children, when you're with someone who is shaking with fear … it's just a completely different thing.” Experience of humility, solidarity, and courage among migrants and workers. Philosophy, theology, and action integrated in discipleship. Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Microsoft is facing backlash from managed service providers (MSPs) for not adequately protecting them against aggressive pricing strategies employed by larger licensing solution providers. These larger entities are reportedly undercutting smaller MSPs by as much as 20%, leading to significant margin erosion and increased competition. The Cloud Solution Provider Program, which was designed to create a more equitable environment for smaller providers, has not been effectively enforced by Microsoft, leaving many MSPs feeling abandoned. Analysts warn that this trend may result in consolidation among partners, as smaller providers struggle to compete in a landscape increasingly favoring larger firms.In the realm of cybersecurity, MSPs are grappling with severe alert fatigue, with a recent survey indicating that over 75% of providers experience this issue monthly. The report highlights that larger firms are particularly affected, with nearly half of those employing over 500 staff facing daily fatigue due to excessive tools and poor integration, which leads to a high volume of false positives. Alarmingly, one in four alerts is a false positive, and many providers are hesitant to consolidate their security tools due to concerns about migration complexity and potential feature loss. Despite the clear advantages of integrating platforms and enhancing automation, only 31% of MSPs have adopted AI or security orchestration tools to alleviate their burdens.In product news, several companies have made significant announcements. SuperOps has launched an AI marketplace for MSPs in collaboration with Amazon Web Services, aiming to streamline the adoption of AI agents for various tasks. Kaseya introduced customer responsibility matrices to help MSPs comply with Department of Defense cybersecurity requirements, while ConnectWise expanded its remote monitoring and management platform to include third-party patching for over 7,000 applications. Synchro reported impressive operational efficiency improvements for a client, and Ignite unveiled a no-code framework for creating customized AI agents.Lastly, the podcast discusses the ongoing challenges faced by Intel and the vulnerabilities in Enable's remote monitoring and management solution. Intel is receiving substantial investments from SoftBank and potential support from the U.S. government, indicating a lack of market confidence in the company's performance. Meanwhile, Enable is dealing with two critical vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited, with nearly 900 servers still unpatched. The urgency for MSPs to apply updates and validate their security measures is emphasized, as these vulnerabilities pose significant risks to their operations. Four things to know today 00:00 Microsoft Faces Backlash as MSPs Accuse CSP Program of Favoring Larger Licensing Providers04:53 From SuperOps to Egnyte, Vendors Announce AI and Security Features—Syncro Stands Out With Measurable Results07:50 Chip Market Split: Intel Relies on Bailouts, Foxconn Rides Explosive AI Demand10:24 Shadowserver: Nearly 900 N-able N-central Servers Remain Unpatched Against Critical Vulnerabilities This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://www.moovila.com/ https://scalepad.com/dave/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
