I talk a lot about profitability on these episodes because, of course, we do this for a living. But today, I invited someone to talk with more authority about our finances in general. And I understand it is not always easy to look at our finances, especially if they aren't where we want them to be. But Carla Titus has over 17 years of combined corporate financial planning, analysis strategy, and online businesses experience. She works with interior designers and she understands and provides fractional CFO services and consulting to business owners like us who are looking to grow their business profitability, which is what we all want. Her mission with Wealth and Worth Within is to empower business owners like you to achieve financial clarity and peace of mind so that they can get back to what they enjoy.  In today's episode, you'll learn how designers can master their money mindset, set profitable margins, and think like a CEO—so your business grows with confidence and sustainability.

In this episode, Marti sits down with Darryn, founder of Quantity Solutions, to dig into one of the biggest challenges for scaling builders: keeping control of costs while leading bigger teams and higher-value projects. Darryn shares how builders can shift their mindset around pricing, move from reactive estimating to proactive planning, and position themselves with architects and clients as trusted advisors rather than just order-takers. We cover: The hidden risks in pricing and why most builders leave money on the table. How to move from quick estimating to structured cost planning that protects margins. The role of quantity surveying in giving you confidence with high-value clients and contracts. The leadership shift required to stop being the bottleneck in pricing and build a system your team can trust. Why execution risk and poor timeframe management can destroy profit, even when sales are strong.

This week we are joined by Jed Archibald for his first solo interview, and he didn't disappoint. Coming from a family deeply rooted in dentistry, his father worked closely with Dr. Gordon Christensen. Jed has built his own reputation as an innovator. In 2006 he launched Archibald Digital, (https://www.archibalddigital.com/) embracing CAD/CAM at a time when most technicians were skeptical. His philosophy? Don't just ask what digital can do now—ask what it could do. Jed also shared insights on materials, praising the underrated Empress Multi (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-empress-cad)for its beauty and reliability, and highlighting Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us)'s ZirCAD Prime (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-e.max-zircad-prime-family) zirconia for solving problems that plague other multilayer products. Not content with what the market offered, Jed even created his own line of 3D printing resins (https://www.archibalddigital.com/about-6)—including a stone-like model resin and a lavender-infused cast resin that makes a lab smell like a spa. Now, as the new Director of Development at Utah Valley Dental Lab (https://www.utahvalleydentallab.com/), Jed is taking on a role testing new ideas and pushing innovation without disrupting production. Check out the amazing resins from Jed: https://www.archibalddigital.com/category/all-products IPS Empress CAD® from Ivoclar: https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-empress-cad Looking for a way to unlock the full potential of your digital dentistry workflow.

Interview with Alan Carter, President & CEO of Cabral Gold Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/cabral-gold-tsxvcbr-meet-the-team-john-sestan-7696Recording date: 23rd September 2025Cabral Gold Corporation is positioning itself to capitalize on record gold prices with its Cuiú Cuiú gold project in northern Brazil, featuring 1.2 million ounces of inferred and indicated resources across an entire mining district. The company has completed a pre-feasibility study for a starter operation requiring less than $40 million in capital expenditure with an impressive 12-month construction timeline.The project's economics have become exceptionally attractive in the current gold market environment. With all-in sustaining costs projected at $1,200 per ounce and gold trading above $2,600, the operation generates approximately $2,500 profit per ounce pre-tax. This translates to a remarkable five-month payback period on the initial capital investment, making it one of the most attractive development opportunities in the gold sector.Cabral has structured its development around proven heap leaching technology using a rotating pad system that prioritizes operational flexibility over cost optimization. The company will operate four heaps on a 120-day cycle, allowing for process adjustments between cycles to ensure production consistency and reduce technical risks.Three drill rigs are actively exploring across the district, targeting a doubling of current resources within 12-18 months. Recent high-grade results include 11 meters at 33 grams per tonne and 39 meters at 5.1 grams per tonne, demonstrating the district's continued potential. The project encompasses four new discoveries plus approximately 50 additional targets that have shown encouraging gold values.The project benefits significantly from its location adjacent to Brazil's third-largest gold mine, Tocantinzinho, which produces 200,000 ounces annually. Historical data indicates the Cuiú Cuiú area produced ten times more placer gold than the Tocantinzinho area, suggesting superior geological endowment across the district.Construction financing discussions are at advanced stages, with management expecting news within weeks regarding debt financing arrangements that will fund the majority of the capital requirements.View Cabral Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/cabral-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Farm margins are tight and the headlines aren't lying—tariffs, fertilizer and machinery costs, and labor constraints are hitting producers. Jackson Takach (Farmer Mac) breaks down what's signal vs. noise. What we cover: Tariffs 101: Section 301 (unfair trade), 232 (national security), and IEEPA actions (the biggest bucket and under legal challenge). Why these hit steel/aluminum and fertilizer components—and how that flows to implement and input prices. Costs that pay back vs. pure drag: seed tech and risk-reduction can be worth it; fertilizer, machinery and labor are harder to offset—2026 looks tighter than 2025. Adaptation that actually helps: proven tech + regenerative practices to reduce input reliance. Bankruptcies: Chapter 12 filings are up in Arkansas and Nebraska—rising from 2023–24 lows back toward 2018–20 levels. Regional stress drivers: soy/rice/cotton marketing pain and flooding in AR; feedlot squeeze and weaker soy export pull in NE. Policy + relief: ongoing US–China trade talks; ~$15–20B of prior-year USDA aid still to deploy; Farm Bill politics and PLC “facelift” dynamics. Opportunities: growing global protein demand, renewable diesel/SAF, and more U.S. soybean crush capacity. Labor & immigration: H‑2A works for seasonal crops; year‑round gaps push automation.

Beef Packer Margins Rebound To Record U.S. Beef Packer Margins Turn Positive After Labor Day as Wholesale Prices Hit Record Highs Beef packer margins in the U.S. rebounded into positive territory during the first week after Labor Day, fueled by record-setting wholesale beef prices, according to the latest Beef Profit Tracker from Drovers. U.S. Beef Packer Margins Turn Positive After Labor Day as Wholesale Prices Hit Record Highs For the week ending September 6, the Comprehensive Cutout Value climbed $5 from the prior week to its highest level on record. With fed cattle priced at $244.44/cwt, packer margins averaged an estimated $38.05 per head, a sharp turnaround from the $9.50/head loss posted the week before. Feedlots Report Strong Cattle Feeding Margins Feedlot profitability also strengthened. Average 5-Area Direct Steers traded at $242.62/cwt, well above the estimated breakeven of $192.35/cwt. That left calculated feeding margins at an impressive $703.74/head, compared to $662.03 the previous week and only $90.42/head during the same period in 2023. Beef Production Declines, Margins Improve Even with lower cattle slaughter numbers — 487,000 head versus 565,000 head the prior week — packer and feedlot profits improved. Fed plant capacity utilization dropped to 67.8% from 78.6%, while cow plant utilization fell to 53%. Outlook: Tight Supply and Strong Demand Support Fall Profits The data underscores a tightened beef supply chain paired with strong consumer demand, setting the stage for continued profitability for both cattle feeders and beef packers heading into fall 2025.

Profit Answer Man: Implementing the Profit First System!

Your P&L Is Lying—Here's What to Track with Laresa McIntyre   Stop Chasing Revenue: How Fractional CFOs Clear the Financial Fog   Most business owners measure success by one thing: revenue growth. The problem? Revenue isn't cash—and it doesn't always translate into profit.   In this episode of Profit Answer Man, I sat down with Laresa McIntyre, founder of Rockbridge CFO, to uncover the blind spots that keep owners stuck in financial fog. Laresa brings over 15 years of CFO experience and now helps service-based businesses scale smarter with fractional CFO insight—without the six-figure price tags.   Key Lessons:  Profit Lives in Margins, Not Revenue. Chasing top-line growth without tracking margins is a recipe for burnout. Know which products and clients actually contribute to the bottom line, and be willing to cut or reprice the ones that don't. A CFO Looks Forward, Not Backward. Bookkeepers and controllers record history. A CFO interprets that history to help you forecast the future and make smarter decisions 6–24 months out. That's where clarity—and profit—comes from. Cash Forecasting Prevents Panic. Revenue timing rarely matches expense timing. A 12-week rolling cash forecast shows when money will actually land in your account and when bills come due, so payroll never sneaks up on you. Growth Can Be Dangerous if Mis-Timed. Hiring ahead of sales is one of the fastest ways to destroy profitability. Use metrics like revenue per employee or labor efficiency ratio to know when it's safe to add headcount. Dashboards Need Action, Not Pretty Charts. Software may give you colorful graphs, but what matters is knowing which levers to pull: raise prices, renegotiate vendor terms, or shift client mix. Insight beats aesthetics. Benchmark Yourself, Not the Industry. Industry averages often include failing businesses. The best benchmark is your own improvement over time—measured by profit, not just revenue. Financial Fog Is Optional. Most founders walk around in a financial fog because the numbers feel intimidating. The cure? Honest conversations with someone who can translate financials into simple, actionable steps.   Key Takeaways from the Conversation:  The P&L Is Not Cash. Your profit and loss statement is an important report—but it leaves out distributions, debt payments, and sometimes even taxes. Use it in context with your balance sheet and cash forecasts, or risk flying blind. Margins > Revenue. A “big client” may look impressive on paper, but if their gross margin is weak, they're draining your business. Focus on products, services, and customers that actually add to the bottom line. Forecast Cash Like Payroll Depends on It (Because It Does). A 12-week rolling cash forecast helps you avoid Friday panic. It reveals not just what's in the bank today, but what's coming in and going out over the next three months. Hire After Sales, Not Before. Scaling too fast with payroll is one of the biggest traps. Track revenue per employee and labor efficiency to know when it's really time to bring on the next hire. Dashboards Are Useless Without Insight. Pretty graphs won't grow your profit. The value is in translating numbers into action: what's working, what's broken, and what needs to change this month to protect your margins and cash flow.   About Laresa McIntyre: Laresa McIntyre is the founder of Rockbridge CFO, where she helps service-based businesses scale smarter by providing executive-level financial insight without the cost of a full-time CFO. A Certified Management Accountant with an MBA and Master's in Accounting, Laresa specializes in turning financial chaos into clarity, improving margins, and bringing calm to growth.   Links: https://www.rockbridgecfo.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laresamcintyre   Conclusion: Too many business owners work harder and harder for revenue, only to wonder why their bank balance never seems to catch up. The truth is, profit clarity comes not from chasing sales but from mastering margins, timing cash, and knowing when to grow.   As Laresa McIntyre reminds us, the P&L isn't cash, growth without discipline creates fragility, and dashboards without insight are just noise. When you cut through the fog with the right forecasts, metrics, and financial guidance, you finally get what every business owner craves: calm, control, and consistent profit.   #ProfitFirst #BusinessFinance #CashFlowFix #FractionalCFO #FinancialClarity #Profitability #SmartScaling #EntrepreneurFinance   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

What may not be obvious is that we're talking about both in-store and online sales. Curating your product assortmentListen and learn from  your customers, staff, and communityWhat are customers asking for that you don't have?Bonus tip: Supplier Sync as an indicator of interestProducts your staff actually use - Your staff will enjoy selling items they actually useConsider ancillary products - Are you in a beach town and do lots of rentals?  Offer beverages, towels, sunscreen, etc.Curate around your brand/focused categories (MTB, road, e-bike, family) - it's easy to be a roadie store that also sells MTB and not take the extra step for what isn't your primary focus, but it mattersMTB'ers need gloves, helmets, tires, sealant, and colored pedalsRoadies love nutrition, sunglasses, and computersE-bikes: mirrors, bells, baskets, battery chargers, phone mountsFamily: fun helmets, bells, horns, burley trailers, Buying is important, but sell-through is what matters mostMonitor your aged inventory and strategize a plan for markdownsTake notes on what is working and what's not working.  Don't make the same mistakes season after season.  How many different brands of black shorts/bibs do you need?Does your assortment/levels align with your floorspaceMaintain as little backstock Minimizes shrinkage, theft, and aged inventoryHow many of ‘X' fit on a hook on your floorBonus Topic2nd tier e-bike brandsThe market is FLOODED with these brands.  Margins can look attractive, but brand recognition is low, so you and your staff really need to believe in the productOnline sales can be difficult because of low brand awarenessService parts can be difficult to get, causing a bad customer experienceBe sure to email your questions to podcast@workstand.com.

From $0 to $400K/Month in Wholesaling – Here's How Joe Potenza Did It!

(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.
