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?

"When you're in tune with [your period cycle] and you recognize what phase of the week, or the month you're in, it's a game changer. And I just encourage women to embrace that, in addition to choosing the best possible menstrual option that supports your body." —Arielle Loupos Tampons and pads aren't the only way—and for a lot of us, they're not even the best way. Most of what we use every month was designed decades ago, with little thought for comfort, health, or the planet. There's a better option, and it starts with rethinking what we put next to our most sensitive skin.Arielle Loupos, founder of Flower Girl, turned her own frustration with pads and tampons into a mission to create period underwear that's comfortable, sexy, and made from natural fibers. Her background as a consumer who refused to settle gives her a fresh, no-nonsense take on women's health products and why we deserve better.Hit play to hear how she developed leak-proof underwear that supports women through every stage of life—periods, pregnancy, postpartum, and bladder leaks—while protecting your health and the environment. Heather and Arielle also cover the hidden health risks of traditional products, why natural fibers matter, the challenges of bringing a new product to market, and how cycle syncing can transform the way you care for your body. Connect with Heather: WebsiteFacebook InstagramLinkedInEpisode Highlights:01:35 Transitioning to Period Underwear 04:01 The Science Behind the Product11:06 The Dangers of Tampons16:30 Styles, Colors, and Product Features21:00 Cycle Syncing & Women's Health Education25:24 Thoughts on Investors, Margins, and Bootstrapping27:44 Standing Out in a Crowded Market31:21 Beyond Period: Incontinence and PostpartumConnect with Arielle: Arielle Loupos is the founder of Flower Girl, a women's wellness brand dedicated to creating sustainable, body-safe period underwear.

UBS initiated coverage of Oklo Inc. (OKLO) with a neutral rating and $65 price target. The firm sees high potential in its margins but expressed concern over its lack of revenue and the uncertain outlook of the nuclear power space. Diane King Hall talks about the "stock story" surrounding Oklo and its reliance on the A.I. buildout. As she puts it, it's an investment that can take years to play out.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

A recent study highlights that, despite the significant contributions of migrant entrepreneurs to their new home country, their experiences of marginalisation and the ways they can overcome it remain underexplored.

From a vandalized 4×8 roadside sign to a $17K third deal—and eventually 30+ purchases halfway through 2025—Josh Jarbo breaks down the real, unglamorous mechanics of finding, funding, and flipping in a picky-buyer, longer-DOM market. What you'll learn: From zero to proof of concept: Nine months to the first $3K wholesale check—and why that mattered more than later $50K+ wins. Marketing vs. selling: Billboards, big signs, texts (then), and why rapport at the kitchen table still closes the buy side. Margins that keep you alive: Why Josh targets $40–50K flip spreads and often wholesales anything that nets $40K+ now. When deals go sideways: A wrong-fit contractor that vaporized $30K—and the guardrails Josh uses today. Capital stacks that scale: Graduating from personal cash to private/hard money and simple rules to avoid sleepless nights. Owner-finance alchemy: Packaging multiple assets (warehouse, office, storage) with better-than-bank terms. Market snapshot (mid-2025): Under $400K still moves; plan for ~3 months on market; buyers are picky—buy right or get nicked on inspection. Going farther afield: A smooth Florida penthouse flip (4.5 hours away)—and why your first deal should be local. Who Should Listen:

Matt Maley and Kristen Owen break down Deere (DE) earnings. Matt says the company commonly puts out conservative guidance, but investors need to watch out for margin pressures from tariffs. Kristen notes “a lot of pressure for farmers” with tariffs making it more difficult to sell their crops – which are having a good growing year – which then hits Deere and its ability to sell equipment.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Imagine practicing medicine not within the sterile confines of a hospital, but in the unpredictable world of city streets and shelters, where every patient encounter challenges conventional notions of care, empathy, and human dignity. We explore this reality through the extraordinary journey of Jim O'Connell, MD, whose groundbreaking work with Boston's homeless population has profoundly reshaped health care for society's most marginalized individuals.Dr. O'Connell is the founding president of the Boston Healthcare for the Homeless Program and an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. In this episode, Dr. O'Connell shares stories from his extensive frontline experience, detailing the unique challenges of treating patients facing complex medical and psychiatric conditions exacerbated by unstable living conditions. From addressing devastating public health crises such as AIDS and tuberculosis to establishing consistent mental health care, he provides profound insights into what makes healthcare effective for homeless populations. He also reflects on a formative early experience — being asked by nurses to wash patients feet — that deeply influenced his understanding of empathy and the essence of medical service. Through these reflections, we gain a powerful appreciation for the depth of patience, relational care, and respect required in caring for vulnerable communities. In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:00 - Dr. O'Connell's unexpected path to medicine11:34 - The distinction between a “country doctor” and a doctor who works in an academic setting13:42 - How Dr. O'Connell began working with homeless populations 20:30 - The difficulties doctors faced in the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic29:14 - Navigating the compounding challenges of access and continuity among the homeless population 37:12 - What has kept Dr. O'Connell dedicated to treating this population for 30+ years 51:24 - Dr. O'Connell's recommendations to clinicians on how to compassionately serve the homeless Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
