Episode Overview In this episode of The ModGolf Podcast, host Colin Weston welcomes Cory Powell, co-founder and CEO of Hubble.GOLF. They discuss Cory's journey in golf, his entrepreneurial spirit, and the innovative platform Hubble.GOLF aims to create for golfers, their families and event organizers. Key Highlights Introduction to Hubble Golf Cory describes Hubble Golf as the "Expedia for golf events," aiming to be the largest searchable database for all things golf, including junior, amateur, and professional events. Cory's First Golf Experience Cory shares a heartfelt story about how his grandfather introduced him to golf at the age of eight, gifting him a set of junior clubs and taking him to a local driving range. The Entrepreneurial Journey From starting a pooper scooper service at eight years old to organizing tournaments and playing professionally, Cory's entrepreneurial spirit has been evident throughout his life. The AHA Moment for Hubble.GOLF Cory discusses the challenges he faced while trying to find golf events and how this led to the idea for Hubble.GOLF. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration and co-founding with Kevin Lewis, who brought technical expertise to the project. Market Research and Customer Validation Cory explains how he gathered feedback from golfers and parents to validate the need for Hubble.GOLF, including surveys that indicated a willingness to pay for the service. Mentorship and Personal Growth The importance of mentorship is highlighted as Cory shares his relationship with Jim Casino, who has provided guidance and support throughout his entrepreneurial journey. Risk-Taking in Entrepreneurship Cory reflects on his approach to risk-taking, emphasizing the need for passion, perseverance, and the ability to pivot when necessary. Cory Powell's journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and community in the world of golf and entrepreneurship. Listen in to discover his vision for Hubble.GOLF and the future of golf events. "Hubble.GOLF is the Expedia of golf events. So everything from junior golf, youth, amateur college, professional, charity, networking, green grass, non-green grass, we will be the largest searchable event database for all things golf. And the idea stemmed from my background trying to find events and figure out a schedule and put together an itinerary and what's the budget around that itinerary and how do I share that itinerary with other people? And that's what we've created." https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/aLutd90o.jpg "On average a parent spends over four hours planning one individual event and a junior golfer participates anywhere between 12 and 18 events in a season. We save parents day's worth of time figuring out their child's season and ultimately save them money on their travel costs." "If you truly are passionate about what you do, you wake up every day invigorated and excited to get to work, to chase it, put in the work. It's not easy. You have to be disciplined. You have to be willing to do it. My grandpa always used to say, "you have to be willing to pay the price and do what others aren't willing to do." And that's long hours and hard work."

In this episode of the Greenbook Podcast, host Karen Lynch sits down with mixed methods researcher Megan Ruxton—most recently with the FDA and previously with Vibrant Health—to explore how researchers can turn ambiguity into action. From academia to public health to tech, Megan's career has been driven by a passion for applied behavioral research. She shares how mixed methods can uncover the “unpredictable magic” of human behavior—insights that AI alone can't capture.The conversation touches on building structure from chaos, navigating stakeholder resistance, the future role of AI in research, and why researchers must embrace both the messy and the measurable. Megan's blend of optimism, experience, and human-centered thinking offers a refreshing perspective on what's next for the insights industry.Key Discussion Points:Why applied research brings more impact than theoretical workHow to structure ambiguity using tools like logic models and the Five WhysDefining true mixed methods—and how to select the right sequenceThe irreplaceable role of “emotional squishiness” in a world leaning on AIWhat makes insights actionable in high-stakes decision-makingResources & Links:Beneath the Why – Christopher Brace's workshop referenced in the episodeYou can reach out to Megan Ruxton on LinkedIn.Many thanks to Megan Ruxton for being our guest.

MARKETING MESSAGE WITH EMOTION When you create your call to action in your podcast, you need a powerful marketing message. You need to inspire your audience into action. People buy with emotion. Then they justify that purchase with logic. Your marketing message needs to stir emotion within your potential clients.   00:00 "Stir Emotions to Attract Clients" 06:11 Corporate Sales Journey Reflection 06:54 Entrepreneurial Challenges and Marketing Insight 12:17 Hewlett Packard's Transformative Culture 14:22 Affordable Marketing Feedback Strategy 17:52 Product Brand Clarity Essentials 22:05 Cheese and Crackers Surprise 25:33 Importance of Market Research 30:05 "Master Your Message Program" 32:01 "Opinion Diversity in Marketing" 36:55 Realtor Specializing in Divorce Sales 39:15 Defining Your Target Audience 41:21 "30 Seconds to Impress" 44:27 "Podcast Coaching Session Offer"   GET YOUR MARKETING MESSAGE TO LAND Do you ever feel like your podcast marketing message just isn't landing with your audience? You're crafting awesome content, but somehow your message isn't converting listeners to clients. This week, I sit down with business strategist Nicki Chang-Powless to dig into the secrets behind creating a compelling, actionable marketing message for your podcast and business. If you want your audience to grow—and more importantly, move them to action—this episode is tailor-made for you. LEAD WITH CONNECTION, NOT CONTENT Your audience listens for companionship. They aren't downloading your latest episode just to be informed—they want to feel connected, understood, and guided. If your call to action only shows up at the end of your show, you're missing out! Listeners don't always make it to the last minute. We break down how to bake your call to action and marketing message throughout your show. This allows you meet your audience where they are and inspire them to take the next step. It's not about dumping information. It's about creating relatable, emotionally resonant moments that build trust and authority. THE POWER OF TARGETED MESSAGING In the episode, Nicki drives home the essential truth: if you're marketing to “everyone,” you're speaking to no one. We talk about how getting laser-focused on your target audience changes everything. Imagine you're a massage therapist—what you say to a stressed-out parent versus a retired senior makes all the difference.

This episode offers valuable insights into sustainable growth, effective leadership, and staying true to your values in the business world. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Penny Burke, one of the hardest things in growing a small business is managing time, especially balancing business development ("hunting") with project delivery ("cooking and eating"). She explains that in a project-based business, it's challenging to constantly juggle winning new work while also delivering high-quality outcomes. Additionally, she emphasizes that people management — hiring the right team and dealing with performance issues—is another tough but crucial aspect of sustainable growth. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Penny Burke's favorite business book that has helped her the most is "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. She considers it a classic and values its timeless insights on building strong relationships and effective communication—key skills in both leadership and business growth. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Penny Burke does not recommend any specific podcasts or online learning tools to help grow a small business. She mentions that her husband uses such resources more than she does, and she personally prefers listening to music during her downtime instead of engaging with podcasts or similar tools. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Penny Burke emphasizes the importance of market mapping as a methodology rather than a specific tool. She recommends identifying where your business can play, where it can win, and where you can build your fame. This market-focused thinking helps small businesses define their niche and develop a strong positioning strategy, which is critical for growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Penny Burke's advice to herself on day one of starting out in business is: "Just be good. Don't worry about size. Just whatever it is that you're going to do, do it really, really, really well." This highlights her focus on quality and excellence over rapid growth.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: Dr. Andrew Chadeayne discusses the chemistry of psilocybin and other psychedelics, their potential therapeutic applications, and the challenges of commercializing them in a shifting biotech market. The conversation delves into the complexities of magic mushroom composition, debunking myths like "lemon tekking," and uncovers the booming, unregulated alternative products industry, including kratom and synthetic psilocybin analogs sold in vape shops.About the guest: Andrew Chadeayne, PhD is a chemist who also holds a law degree, specializing in patent law. He is the founder and CEO of CaaMTech, a startup specializing in the development of novel psychedelic compounds. Chadeayne collaborates with academic labs to advance psychedelic science while navigating the commercial landscape.Discussion Points:Psilocybin is a prodrug converted to psilocin, but magic mushrooms contain other psychoactive molecules like beta-carbolines, which may enhance effects by inhibiting degradation.Chadeayne's team develops psilocin prodrugs to shorten psychedelic trips, making clinical administration more manageable without altering effects.The "lemon tek" myth—that lemon juice converts psilocybin to psilocin—is false; it enhances absorption by extracting compounds, not altering chemistry.Magic mushroom bruising indicates psilocin degradation, as oxidized psilocin forms blue, inactive dimers.The multi-billion dollar alternative products industry sells kratom and synthetic psilocybin analogs, often mislabeled, in vape shops, raising safety and regulatory concerns.Kratom's minor alkaloid, 7-hydroxymitragynine, is ~40x more potent than morphine, with no reported overdoses but high habit-forming potential.Non-hallucinogenic serotonin 2A agonists, like those developed by CaaMTech's spinout, show promise for conditions like migraines without requiring a psychedelic trip.Related episode:M&M 71: Chemistry of Magic Mushrooms, DMT Analogues, Entourage Effects in Cannabis & Fungi, Novel Psychedelic Medicines, Psychedelic Startups | Andrew Chadeayne*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

Employee turnover continues to undermine talent acquisition efforts, with many organizations investing heavily in hiring only to watch new talent walk out the door feeling unappreciated. Even organizations with the most robust hiring processes continue to struggle with retention, costing millions in lost productivity and repeated recruitment efforts. So how can companies ensure their hard-won talent becomes long-term, engaged contributors in competitive talent landscapes? My guest this week is Brie Harvey, Head of Market Research and Community for Achievers. Achievers is helping organizations implement recognition strategies that transform employee experience and dramatically improve retention rates. Brie offers valuable perspectives on data-driven insights connecting recognition to business outcomes and how taking the right approach to appreciation can protect recruitment investments and drive performance across the entire employee lifecycle. In the interview, we discuss: • TA's lack of control over ultimate hiring outcomes • Praise versus recognition • When hygiene factors are missing, recognition will always fail to have an impact. • Low-cost, high-impact strategies • Impact of recognition on key business metrics • Building the business case for HR Tech • Identifying the performance outcomes that move technology investment from nice to have to must-have • AI-driven personalization • What does the future look like?
