Royal Ascot wraps up — and The Final Furlong Podcast is armed for a blockbuster finish. After tipping three winners on Ladies' Day,

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses. In this episode, I tackle a really common frustration: pouring time and money into marketing when the real problem is the product itself. I break down the brutal but freeing truth: Marketing is a megaphone, not a magician. I share my own hard-earned lessons on how to stop masking product issues with ads and instead zero in on product-market fit. I explain how to test it, iterate fast, and double down on what works — so you can stop wasting dollars and start selling out seats and dishes naturally.Takeaways:Many restaurants fail to profit because they haven't built a strong business behind great food and service.If your concept doesn't resonate with your target market, no amount of marketing will fix it.True product-market fit shows up instantly — seats fill, dishes sell out, buzz spreads organically.Marketing only amplifies what's already working; it can't create demand where none exists.To find product-market fit, test small, track data, listen to feedback, and iterate constantly.Stop trying to revive your weakest menu items — double down on your best sellers and build on what already works.Once you nail product-market fit, that's the time to scale your marketing and growth.Chapters: [00:17] Why Restaurants Struggle Financially  [01:35] Cathy's Question — Is Marketing the Problem?  [02:00] Product-Market Fit Explained  [04:00] Marketing is a Megaphone, Not a Magician  [06:30] Double Down on What Works If you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

After firing in multiple 7/1 winners and a flurry of strong plays, The Final Furlong Podcast team returns for your ultimate Royal Ascot Day 4 betting preview.

This week on Beyond Sunday, Josh Hensley is joined by Steve Buttram, Cliff Hines, and special guest Chase Duncan—our newest intern at New Work. The team kicks things off with a challenging (and occasionally uncomfortable) round of “Over It or Into It,” exploring everyday habits that can become idols—like binge-watching TV on Sabbath, obsessing over gear, or reading Christian books more than the Bible. Their honest, often funny, and sometimes convicting responses set the stage for a deeper dive into Sunday's sermon on Romans 1.   The heart of the conversation centers on the tension between truth and love. They unpack Michael Shearon's message about how God's anger is righteous, how idolatry breeds immorality, and how God will eventually give us over to what we worship. Steve vulnerably shares about loving his son while not affirming his lifestyle—a moving example of agape love without compromise. The episode ends with a powerful reminder: everyone is welcome at New Work, but the Gospel always calls us to transformation. It's a full episode—humble, bold, and full of grace.  

Royal Ascot Day 3 – Ladies Day Betting Special Fresh off a winning Day 1, Emmet Kennedy, Adam Mills, and Andy Newton are back on the Final Furlong Podcast with your full betting guide to Thursday at Royal Ascot — better known as Ladies Day.

Royal Ascot Day 2 Betting Preview – The Final Furlong Podcast Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, Andy Newton, and George Gorman for a full throttle betting breakdown of Wednesday's Royal Ascot action. The team kicks off with the Queen Mary Stakes, where double-digit odds selections fly from all sides — and one blistering U.S. speedball could give America its fifth win in a decade. But Adam goes to bat for the rock-solid favourite Zelaina, with data to back it up. In the Queen's Vase, Aidan O'Brien's dominant record makes Shackleton and Scandinavia hard to ignore — but not everyone's on board. Sharp alternatives are pitched with tactical insights on pace, breeding, and late stamina. Tempers flare in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes as the panel splits strongly over the right way to play the race — who's reading it right? Then it's time for fireworks in the Prince Of Wales's Stakes (Group 1):

The Final Furlong Podcast launches full throttle into Day 1 of Royal Ascot 2025, where the stars come out early and the form lines collide.

Step inside the inner sanctum of Ballydoyle. In this blockbuster Final Furlong Podcast special, Emmet Kennedy is joined by the most successful Royal Ascot trainer of all time — Aidan O'Brien — for a full stable tour of his 2025 team. From star juveniles to Group 1 champions, Aidan breaks down every runner, every race, and every tactical move.

In the ninth episode of the 2025 season, Sox Populi podcaster Delia Ritchie joins host Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and our special guest Kirsten Ramos. Kristen is the CEO of her own company, Elevate Performance Solutions, a community advocate for common-sense public safety laws to reduce gun violence, and the den mom of the 108. Melissa and Delia talked to Kirsten about her professional experience, working to save lives through community advocacy, and the importance of finding your people while, of course, fitting in some White Sox conversation. So, whether you're a die-hard South Side fan or not, there's something for everyone. We invite you to sit back, relax, and grab your favorite beverage because the girls hit a home run conversing about all things baseball and life, including: Career Reflections: Kristen's educational background and how she arrived at the decision to start her own company. Moms Demand Action: What are some things that the average citizen can do to help the cause? White Sox Chatter: How did she become a Sox fan, her favorite player, surviving the South Side rollercoaster, and facilitating camaraderie among the Sox community?

On Thursday, Illinois fills in for Kyprios in the Gold Cup—but is he good enough to stop Trawlerman from going one better than 2024? Friday's feature races bring fireworks: Is Shadow Of Light a sprinting superstar in the Commonwealth Cup? Can Zarigana claim the Coronation Stakes, or is there a monster each-way bet hiding in plain sight? Finally, we close with the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes—a true international war.

#566 In this episode of the podcast, I explore how photography can be a powerful tool for self-discovery—not just a way to create beautiful images or chase technical perfection. I share my belief that the most meaningful photos aren't always the ones that earn the most likes or comments. Instead, our true value as photographers comes from how honestly we depict our lives and the world around us. KEY TOPICS COVEREDPhotography as Self-Discovery - Raymond explains that photography is more than just technical skill or visual appeal—it's a tool for self-exploration. The choices you make behind the camera act as a "mirror," revealing your interests, values, and the way you see the world.The Mirror and the Megaphone Metaphor - The “mirror” captures your authentic, unfiltered truth, while the “megaphone” amplifies what you choose to share with the world—curated, staged, or idealized moments. The real magic happens when your megaphone projects your mirror's truth.Practical Ways to Shoot Authentically - Raymond recommends concrete strategies, like setting reminders to document ordinary scenes (e.g., your fridge, messy rooms) to foster honesty in your work. He challenges listeners to photograph something honest, unpolished, and meaningful—if only for themselves.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSMirror: The aspect of photography that reflects your true self—your interests, emotions, and what you naturally notice. It's about authenticity.Megaphone: The way you present or share your images, shaping how your story is told to others. This can be more curated or staged but is most powerful when aligned with your mirror.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhat do your everyday photo choices reveal about you?Have you ever felt pressure to shoot for an audience instead of for yourself?How can you begin to capture more authentic and honest moments in your daily life?Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/Connect with Raymond!

“I lost over a million quid on Frankie Dettori… and I wouldn't change a thing.” In this explosive Final Furlong Podcast special, legendary bookmaker, BBC pundit, and racing lifer Gary Wiltshire joins Emmet Kennedy to reflect on 50 Years in the Betting Jungle — from laying the Magnificent Seven to rebuilding his life after public betrayal, tabloid lies, and financial ruin. With trademark honesty, Wiltshire opens up on:

Morning Joe and Jake Tapper get ambushed—with facts. PBD, Adam, and the crew break down media bias, Biden's decline, and why legacy outlets are losing trust. Plus: Her Take fires back at The View.

A classic weekend of racing is here — and The Final Furlong Podcast is ready with Group 1s, bold opinions, and big-value plays. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Andy Newton to preview a stacked two days at The Curragh, Goodwood, Beverley, and Haydock, with a Lucky 15 that pays 1630/1! In the Irish 2000 Guineas, the panel is united in taking on the odds-on favourite — and we explain why Field Of Goldcould be set for redemption under Colin Keane. We also preview the Greenlands Stakes, where an Australian import for Aidan O'Brien makes his Irish debut — but two of the team prefer a sharp-looking 8/1 shot. Over in Britain, we cover six key races, including the Temple Stakes, the Sandy Lane, and two major juvenile tests at Beverley. Then it's back to The Curragh for a massive Sunday featuring the Tattersalls Gold Cup — can Los Angeles turn the tables on White Birch, or is there a party spoiler waiting?And in the Irish 1000 Guineas, we break down strong runners from Aidan O'Brien and Dermot Weld, and three of the team are against the favourite...

In the seventh episode of the 2025 season, Kristina Airdo, South Side Sox writer/editor and Sox Populi podcaster, joins host Melissa Sage-Bollenbach to discuss several topics related to baseball, sports, and our beloved — or despised, depending on the day — South Siders. Whether you're a die-hard White Sox fan or not, there's something for everyone. So, sit back, relax, and grab your favorite beverage because the girls hit a home run conversing about all things, including: Crosstown Classic Conversation: Is it a Fading Rivalry? The once electrifying "Crosstown Classic" between the White Sox and Cubs seems to have lost its spark. In recent years the Cubs have consistently dominated, and the White Sox have rarely shown the readiness to challenge that narrative. Red-Hot Miguel Vargas: Beyond the Stance. Miguel Vargas, the AL Player of the Week for May 12, exploded with a .417/.423/1.000 slash line, including two doubles, four home runs, nine RBI, and five runs. Is his recent surge solely attributable to his adjusted batting stance? More importantly, can he sustain this success in the long term? Minor League Spotlight: A closer look at emerging prospects like Andre Lipcius and Ryan Galanie, alongside updates on highly-touted talents Noah Schultz, Kyle Teel, Hagen Smith, and Braden Montgomery.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Laura Joy, Adam Mills, Jamie Wrenn and Archie Brooks to look back on a brilliant weekend of flat racing with an eye on Group 1 targets and long-range Royal Ascot punts. We kick off with Lead Artist's Group 1 Lockinge win, and debate who's best placed for the Queen Anne Stakes — Rosallion, Notable Speech or Dancing Gemini? The team weighs in, and Laura names a 10/1 shot she believes is the bet right now. Babouche, Ger Lyons' Group 1-winning juvenile, impressed in the Lacken Stakes — but is she worth backing for the Commonwealth Cup? We also debate the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, with a confident 33/1 tip, plus takes on French raiders and Aidan's Aussie-bred wildcard. Can See The Fire be a Juddmonte International filly?

The Derby and Oaks picture at Epsom is taking shape — and The Final Furlong Podcast is here to break it down. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Laura Joy, Adam Mills, Jamie Wrenn and Archie Brooks to review all the key contenders now that the classic trials are in the books. In the Derby, there's a growing case for a 33/1 outsider, while Laura and Archie agree on a colt who should be favourite — but currently isn't. From trial winners to hidden gems, we give you the full profile on this year's crop. Then it's the fillies' turn, and the team doesn't agree — with real debate over the Oaks market leader's ability to stay the trip, and which of Aidan O'Brien's runners holds the aces. There's also a bold look at the 1000/1 double that might not be as crazy as it sounds. Full classic analysis, longshot plays, sharp angles and plenty of strong opinions.

The GoPowercat Powercat Podcast returns to discuss several football topics at Kansas State, including a question about the status of K-State's place-kicking duties, which will see a new person kicking field goals and extra points this season.

It's a weekend packed with clues, class and value — and The Final Furlong Podcast team is ready. Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman, Andy Newton and Jake Wilkes to preview a brilliant few days of racing — headlined by the Group 1 Boylesports Lockinge Stakes, where the team is split: one is swinging for an 18/1 outsider, while another is supremely confident in a 4/1 play. In the always-intriguing Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap, George believes he's found a "handicap plot", and Andy makes the same horse his next best bet at 7/1. We then turn to Naas on Sunday, where potential Royal Ascot contenders are on show — and Jake lands on a double-figure priced selection he's extremely bullish about. The team also reacts to the latest curveball in the Derby picture: The Lion In Winter's defeat. Can Aidan O'Brien pull another late rabbit out of the hat after yet another first-time flop?

In this Final Furlong audio podcast exclusive, we reflect on two major moments that have rocked the racing world. First, Rachael Blackmore — the groundbreaking, history-making champion — has announced her retirement. From a 7lb claimer at Clonmel to winning every major championship race at Cheltenham and rewriting the Grand National record books aboard Minella Times, Rachael inspired a generation. Emmet Kennedy is joined by the man behind so many of those iconic victories, Henry de Bromhead, to pay tribute to a jockey who changed the sport forever. Then, we turn to Longchamp, where controversy erupted in the aftermath of the French 1,000 Guineas. She's Perfect crossed the line first — seemingly handing a first Classic win to trainer Charlie Fellowes and owner Basher Watts — only to be demoted after a stewards' inquiry in favour of a whipless Zarigana. What happened, and what does it say about racing's rules? Basher Watts joins us to give his first full reaction — and it's unmissable.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Ryan Anderson and Charlie Freeman — two sharp analysts from America's Best Racing and the HHH Racing Podcast — to break down the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown as Journalism looks to bounce back after a massive run in the Kentucky Derby. But can the morning line favorite handle the quick turnaround at Pimlico? The lads dive into pace, track bias, pedigree, and race shape — and both land on a must-use 20/1 shot in their trifecta tickets. You'll also get undercard value tips, including a confident 8/1 banker the panel believes is flying under the radar.

In a seismic moment for horse racing, Rachael Blackmore has announced her immediate retirement from the saddle, ending a trailblazing 16-year career that redefined the sport's boundaries. In this emergency edition of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn, and George Gorman to reflect on the astonishing achievements, historic milestones, and unmatched legacy of the most influential National Hunt jockey of her generation. From shattering the glass ceiling at Cheltenham to winning the Grand National, Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase, and this year's Stayers' Hurdle, Blackmore's story is one of talent, tenacity, and transformation — not just for racing, but for sport. The panel discusses her greatest rides, her long-standing alliance with Henry de Bromhead, the reaction within the weighing room, and what this shock retirement means for the future of the weighing room and women in sport.

On this packed episode of The Final Furlong Podcast, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Liam Firkin, Jamie Wrenn and George Gorman to unpack a week of drama, dominance and divisive opinions in the build-up to Epsom. We begin in France with heartbreak for Basher Watts, Kieran Shoemark and Charlie Fellowes as She's Perfect is controversially disqualified from the French 1000 Guineas, handing the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches to Zarigana, who emulates her famous granddam in style. But did the stewards get it right — and should the team appeal? From there, it's all roads to Epsom, as Ballydoyle's iron grip on the Classic trials continues at Chester, Lingfield and Leopardstown. The panel debates which of Aidan O'Brien's stars are true Derby or Oaks contenders, and which are better Royal Ascot material. The podcast is split — with two of the team pushing hard for a 10/1 Oaks filly, while the others are outright dismissive. Could O'Brien's best Derby hope actually emerge from York in the shape of The Lion In Winter? And is one Classic trial runner being criminally underestimated at 33/1 for Epsom? Plus: Two juveniles to follow for Royal Ascot, and a look at whether East India Dock can follow up his Chester Cup heroics at the summer showpiece.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by George Gorman and Andy Newton for a rapid-fire, bet-loaded preview of the top races across the codes, starting with the Swinton Handicap Hurdle, where George goes in strong on a bold 25/1 selection. We then head to Lingfield for two major trials. The Oaks Trial looks like another Aidan O'Brien banker — but in the Lingfield Derby Trial, questions are being asked. Did Ryan Moore pick the right horse? George and Emmet aren't convinced. And they're both in agreement on one horse in the next race being one of the most likely winners of the weekend. Over at Ascot, we break down three key races, including the always-competitive Victoria Cup, before George puts his neck on the line with his NAP of the weekend — an 8/1 shot in the following race.

In this episode, we wanted to do something a little different—and honestly, a lot of fun. We posted our signature megaphone question out to the construction community:“If you had 60 seconds to speak to the entire industry, what would you say?” What came back was a flood of insights, rants, encouragement, and reality checks from folks across the field. From how we pay people to how we treat each other, and even how we sketch out ideas—this one's packed with voices that matter. 00:30 – What's a Megaphone Question, Anyway?A quick explainer of the idea and how the construction community showed up to respond.01:02 – Prompt Payment as a Measure of RespectWhy paying contractors on time is more than good practice—it's survival for many in the trades.05:08 – Enjoying the Process, Not Just the WinWhat if the key to success is being the person others actually want to work with?07:11 – Know Your Worth and Don't Get SteamrolledThe real cost of being undervalued—and how to draw the line without losing your edge.08:49 – Continuous Improvement Over Shiny ToolsConstruction needs more than new machines and software.
