Podcasts about merging

(Part 2)CNN might merge with CBS News in the future, which means one of them is going to be subsumed by the other. That means layoffs. Makes you pine for the days of stability and reliability. Good news on that front: Dancing with the Stars is entering its ten billionth season. It'll never go away.Topics:Kristyn at KPBSTMZ might be leaving CaliforniaParamount merger affecting CNN and CBS NewsDancing with the StarsEzra Frech

My guest is Liz Wilcox, the creator behind Email Marketing Membership — a $9/month newsletter template subscription she's kept at the same price for six years, that now generates close to half a million dollars a year. Liz built the whole thing as a single parent with no support system and no reliable internet, working from library parking lots and Lowe's lots during nap times. She launched in February 2021, kept the price at $9, maintained a 5% churn rate, and grew to over 4,400 paying members. She and her sister run the operation — no upsells, no masterminds, no group coaching. Just the membership. Then in April 2026, she quietly closed a deal to buy Smart Passive Income — the 18-year-old creator education brand Pat Flynn built from scratch. She spent five months operating as SPI's director of community before anyone outside the deal knew it had happened. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Last week, Pat and Matt told the seller's story. This week, Liz tells the buyer's. In this episode, we talk about: Why the $9 price point has worked for six years — and why she'll never raise it How she grew a half-million-dollar membership without social media, using podcasts and a 50% affiliate program What had to be true before she'd pull the trigger on buying SPI How she's thinking about merging EMM with the SPI community — and why she doesn't have the answer yet By the end of this episode, you will understand how a $9 offer can compound into a half-million-dollar business — and what it actually looks like when someone buys a legacy brand and tries to honor it.

In Episode 371 of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we examine the tragic case of Lindsay Clancy following the September 2026 mistrial declaration—where a jury split 11–1 over whether the Massachusetts mother was criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children during what her defense argued was an acute break from reality. We break down the vital clinical distinction between common postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis—a severe, highly unpredictable psychiatric emergency marked by delusions, hallucinations, and severely compromised reality testing. Merging legal and psychological frameworks, the panel explores how a diagnosis alone doesn't resolve criminal responsibility, tackling the complex question of whether deliberate planning refutes the presence of psychosis. Finally, we speak directly to listeners about recognizing early warning signs, overcoming the shame surrounding frightening post-birth thoughts, and balancing empathy for devastating psychiatric illness with the difficult demands of justice. Tune in to see Criminal Responsibility Through a Therapist's Eyes.

The World's Wars Are Merging, and Taiwan Could Be Next by Nick Espinosa, Chief Security Fanatic

also: i accidentally hearted a text

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Bergman, one of the five owners behind the Benson Crew, a team formed just over a year ago out of three merged businesses in Ontario, Canada, now chasing a $2 billion production goal by 2034. Nick's path here started far from real estate — he was a heavy machinery mechanic before a rough experience selling his own home pushed him to get licensed. We get into what it actually takes to merge three cultures into one: aligning over fifty agents around a single set of standards, holding the line on core values that are still being adopted team-wide, and knowing when to coach an agent up versus coach them out. Nick and I also dig into the difference between running a family and running a team, why the word “expectations” sets people up to fail, and how the Benson Crew uses hard numbers instead of gut feel to navigate a tough Ontario market.Key Topics CoveredMerging Three Cultures Into One Team* How the Benson Crew formed from three separate businesses just over a year ago* Why alignment, not volume, is the real bottleneck after a merger* Building one shared identity, standard, and set of core values from three different starting pointsFamily vs. Team* Why a family keeps people no matter what, but a team hires to the function* How “Timmy” thinking (finding a place for someone you like) creates dysfunction* Building job functions first, then fitting the right people to themExpectations vs. Agreements* Why the word “expectations” primes people for failure* Replacing expectations with agreements the team actually buys into* Using core values as decision-making filters, not wall artReading the Market Without Losing Momentum* Navigating an Ontario market down sharply year over year* Reframing 135 active listings as opportunity instead of overwhelm* Why tracking real numbers beats going by feel when things get tightCoaching Agents Up or Out* The base camp, lift, and summit framework for tiering agent support* Knowing when to invest more in an agent versus when to part ways* Auditing every agent's commitments and production this quarter to reset alignment“You don't have a family, you have a team. A family keeps people no matter what. A team hires to the function first, and the person fits the function, not the other way around.” — John KitchensConnect With UsReady to work on alignment, growth, or your next merger?

“What's Buggin' You” segment for Friday 8-28-26

Unpacking LOTS!

A group of Kurdish-led fighters in Syria that once battled Islamic State forces is joining up with the new government. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.

Zazar is an omnidimensional galactic being channeled by Dr. Marilyn Gewacke — a clinical psychologist and two-time award-winning author of "The ZaZar Transmissions." In this Portal To Ascension transmission, Zazar delivers what he calls "big news": the fifth-dimensional cities of Telos, beneath Mount Shasta, and Shambala, in the Himalayas, are merging with inner earth into one unified 5D civilization — pouring the higher blueprint of the new human into everyone on Earth. He says the ancient ones of Atlantis, Egypt, Lemuria, Stonehenge and Newgrange stored their lost wisdom as light codes for this exact moment, that the recent "Atlas" was a galactic craft carrying those codes, and that you hold dormant landing fields and star-seed DNA ready to activate. And the part nobody expects: as you ascend, your lowest parallel lives simply dissolve — you will pass people you once knew and have no memory of them at all.

Watch on YouTube  Jesse Knight bought a four-axle dump truck the fall after he graduated high school in 1992, because there wasn't enough family farm ground left for a third man. Thirty-five years later, Knight Trucking runs roughly 40 trucks out of Lebo, Kansas, split evenly between end dumps and pneumatics, hauling rock, sand, salt, and food-grade freight across the Midwest. In this episode, Jared Flinn sits down with Jesse and his son Colby for a conversation two decades in the making, Jared first knocked on this door 20 years ago working truck logistics at Bartlett Grain. Jesse walks through the whole climb: leasing to a local rock hauler and sitting four months every winter, merging equipment with his dad and brother to form Knight Trucking in 1996, running the business out of his parents' house with his mom keeping the books, and then landing the I-70 milling and aggregate contracts that forced him to scale from a few trucks to nearly 60 almost overnight, while still driving one himself. He's candid about the parts most operators won't discuss: why he walked away from construction work when the risk stopped matching the reward, why he converted his owner operator fleet into company assets, how he prices freight so the truck actually makes money, what the Peterbilt 386 rollout cost him in repainted hoods, and why chasing kosher certification for his food-grade salt trailers produced about six loads before the business dried up. Colby shares his side too, diesel tech certificate, years in the shop, and getting handed the dispatch board when his dad left for a three-month trip. It closes on the two things Jesse says actually matter after 35 years: drivers who've stayed 10 to 30 years, and a family that never let the business divide it.   ⏱️ TIMECODES  0:00 - 20 Years Later: Full Circle in Lebo, Kansas  1:22 - No Room Left on the Family Farm  1:58 - Buying the First Dump Truck in 1992 3:19 - Merging the Family Equipment: Knight Trucking is Born  5:38 - The I-70 Project: A Few Trucks to 60 in Months 8:30 - What Milling Actually Is (And Why It Takes So Many Trucks) 10:11 - How a "Snot-Nosed Kid" Won Big Construction Contracts 11:05 - Becoming a Spotlight Carrier for Cargill Deicing Salt 14:14 - Moving 200,000 Tons of Rock Across Kansas 16:51 - End Dumps vs. Hoppers: The Weight Disadvantage Nobody Talks About 20:27 - Colby's Story: From the Shop to the Dispatch Desk 23:42 - The Fleet Today: 50/50 End Dumps and Pneumatics 25:03 - Why He Rolled His Owner Operators Into Company Trucks 27:04 - "If I Tell Them I'll Keep Them Busy, I Mean It" 29:36 - Competing With the Big Kansas City Carriers 32:34 - The Kosher Certification That Produced 6 Loads 37:53 - Truck and Trailer Specs (And the Peterbilt 386 Nightmare)  42:54 - Surviving Fuel Volatility and Surcharges 43:53 - The Story Behind the Rocking K Brand 45:51 - Selling Out of the Farm and Cattle Side 48:46 - "It's the Drivers That Keep Driving Me" 49:37 - Why He Hates Watching Families Divide

Donald Trump has threatened a "decapitation" strike to restart the war if negotiations with Iran fail. Iran denies talks are underway, but Tehran is certainly talking with one country: Oman. It is closing in on a Strait of Hormuz deal that would grant Iranian control over inbound shipping, potentially allowing it to charge fees on everything from oil to fertiliser. Amid fresh missile strikes on commercial vessels near Oman, how will the US respond?On today's episode of Iran: The Latest, Roland Oliphant speaks with Danny Citrinowicz, Senior Fellow at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), about whether Iran is strategically dragging out the conflict. They analyse how the Iran and Russia-Ukraine wars are “very close” to merging into a single global front, why US military posture is buckling in the Gulf, and how collapsing ceasefire deals in Lebanon and Gaza expose the limits of Trump's Middle East strategy.

Salvatore Vitale and Calin Plunkett of MIT explain hierarchical merging, a process where black holes merge repeatedly to create larger "monsters." By analyzing gravitational waves from 155 binary pairs, they discovered that 14% are second-generation black holes, born from previous mergers rather than stellar collapse. These second-generation black holes are characterized by rapid spin and mass asymmetry, providing clues to how supermassive black holes form in galaxies.

Anatol Lieven examines how the Ukraine and Iran conflicts are merging into one global struggle following a Ukrainiandrone strike on an Iranian vessel. This escalation threatens global energy supplies of refined oil products, as Russianrefineries struggle with capacity. While Ukraine targets the Russian middle class to undermine support for the war, Lieven warns of a widening proxy war involving China, North Korea, and Iran. (5)

Jonathan Schanzer reports the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are merging as Russia, Iran, and Chinacoordinate their efforts. Schanzer notes that Ukraine's Caspian Sea strike has clarified this global partnership. The US is currently attempting to "keep a lid" on Israel to prevent a regional escalation. However, the US military faces a depletion of missile interceptors, making it difficult to sustain a long, high-intensity conflict. (7)

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Eduardo M. Arroyo, author of AI and I: Merging the Horizon of Human Ingenuity and Artificial Intelligence, to tackle the high-stakes question keeping creators, professionals, and thinkers awake at night: Is artificial intelligence here to replace us, or to amplify who we truly are? Arroyo breaks past the sensationalized headlines to reveal what actually happens at the intersection of human creativity and machine intelligence. If you've ever wondered how to stay uniquely valuable in an automated world—or how to harness AI without losing your human edge—this conversation unlocks the mindsets and strategies you need to thrive on the new horizon. Together, they pull back the curtain on the subtle psychological shifts required to co-exist alongside hyper-intelligent systems rather than fear them. From practical daily applications to big-picture philosophy, Arroyo challenges us to rethink our definition of productivity and discover where true human brilliance resides. By the end of this episode, you'll stop seeing AI as a threat and start viewing it as the ultimate force multiplier for your own potential.

In this intriguing conversation, we covered: The rationale for the merger of the two investment firms; How they expect decision making and sourcing to change going forward; The idea of focusing on companies that are tackling challenges that are different and hard; Their current views on the pre-seed and broader venture capital investment universe; and How the SaaS-pocalypse is and isn't impacting how they view investing in enterprise software companies.

U.S. House Approves Merging Israeli & U.S. Military

There's a cognitive trick our brains play whenever we face a hard question or a difficult decision: we quietly swap the hard thing for something easier to answer. It's called substitution, and we do it constantly — usually without noticing, and sometimes to our detriment. In today's episode, I make the case that you can take this same shortcut your brain already runs automatically and start using it intentionally to break decision paralysis and get moving. The Substitution Heuristic: Understand the mental move at the heart of this episode — when "How are you?" becomes "Is there anything I urgently need to say?", your brain isn't being lazy, it's compressing. It runs a quick calculation: what's the downside of the substitute? Usually it's low, so the shortcut holds. Code Review as Substitution: See why you almost never review a big PR line by line. "Was it tested? Does it follow our best practices? Does anything look obviously wrong?" are all stand-ins for the harder, mostly-unnecessary work of reading every line — and most of the time, they're enough. Performance Reviews Are a Best Guess: Recognize that your rubrics, metrics, and frameworks are themselves substitutes. You can't deterministically rate a person on a scale, so every measure you use is an approximation of an immeasurable question: how much value is this person really generating, and where are they headed? Turn the Trick Around on Purpose: Learn how to use substitution deliberately to defeat paralysis. Instead of "I'm deciding to leave my job and chase something new," substitute "I'm going to send an email." The weight of sending an email is tiny — and the dream job is just a series of small, iterative steps like that one. Unbundle Your Big Decisions: Notice how we fuse trivial mechanical actions with heavy imagined meaning. Merging a branch isn't "declaring this production-ready and putting my name on the line" — it's moving bits into the cloud. Separate the labeling from the action and the action gets a lot less intimidating. Lower Your Commitment Threshold: Swap "this code is great" for "I believe this code is shippable." Swap "this is the perfect hire" for "this is a good bet we can course-correct." The actions you take are identical — but the internal stakes, and the fear, drop dramatically. Favor Reversible Moves: We consistently overestimate the risk of acting and underestimate the risk of doing nothing. Most decisions aren't permanent — you can roll back the deploy, divert from a bad hire, find an exit path. Look for the way back, and the decision gets easier to make. Episode Homework Next time you feel a big decision looming, break it into its most fundamental pieces. Ask: what am I actually doing here? What are the physical actions, the words, the mechanical steps? What's the true worst-case downside — and do I really have to attach all of my worth to it? You're likely already substituting easier questions without realizing it. This week, try doing it on purpose.

Healthcare in America is stuck in a "sick care" model—we wait until people are already ill, then scramble to treat them. Dr. Gloria Winters, VP of Health Innovation at the YMCA of the USA, has spent the last year building something different: a community health operating system that pulls together your wearables, your medical records, and AI-driven insights into one place, so you actually know what to do with your health data instead of just staring at numbers. In this episode, she breaks down her "house" framework for the $5.6 trillion healthcare industry, why falls cost the country more than almost anything else, how she's working directly with HHS and the MAHA movement on preventive health policy, and why personal agency—not just data—is the missing piece in helping people actually change their behavior. If you've ever felt like your Apple Watch tells you everything except what you should actually do next, this conversation is for you. Key Takeaways:

It is a paradox that I think most therapists know: that by allowing something and accepting something and even by positively connoting what needs to change, not struggling with it, surrounding it with metta and compassion, we actually stop our war with reality. When we stop resisting what's true, we aren't fixating on it, and it's free to move and change. This is called radical acceptance.” –Trudy GoodmanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Primm, a St. Louis investor, entrepreneur, and best-selling author of Own Your Freedom. Sam made a serious jump from a W-2 corporate job into real estate, and he did not play small. Over the last 12 years he has closed more than 2,000 deals and built a rental portfolio worth around $50 million, all without using his own money. What I appreciated most about this conversation is how candid Sam was. He walked me through the early days of buying one rental at a time on the side, the moment he realized he could keep scaling with other people's money, and the systemized way he finally left his job rather than jumping in blind. We also got real about the last couple of years, where higher interest rates and a tougher market forced him to lean into personal development and grind through a genuine mental test. We spent a good chunk of time on mentorship and mindset, because that is where Sam and I are cut from the same cloth. He makes the case for why even the best in the world hire coaches, why poor people look at the cost of something while wealthy people look at the return, and why the fear of failure quietly guarantees that people never succeed. He is also refreshingly blunt about the guru problem in this space and what separates people actually doing deals from those just selling courses. Toward the end, Sam shares what he is focused on now: repositioning a portfolio that got a little too heavy in multifamily during the 2021 and 2022 run-up, and re-honing in on simple single family rentals, which he believes are the best starting point for 90% of newer investors. If you have been on the fence about getting a coach, scared of debt, or afraid to fail, this one will light a fire under you.   Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00  Introduction and the three paydays philosophy 00:22  Meet Sam Primm: 2,000+ deals and a $50 million portfolio using none of his own money 01:51  Sam's path from an engineer's son to full-time investor 02:07  Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and starting to invest on the side 04:12  The original goal of one rental a year for ten years 04:46  Seeing the power of scaling with other people's money and leaving the job 05:33  Whether Sam leaned on mentors and coaches early on 06:10  Merging with a local investor who taught him to build a real company 07:09  The mental game of going from solo operator to running a company 07:48  Why the last two or three years have been a mental grind 09:41  Why mentorship still matters at every stage 10:14  The Tom Brady example: the best in the world still hire coaches 10:55  Poor people look at cost, wealthy people look at return 11:46  A look inside the Apprentice program and In the Trenches Bootcamp 14:44  Context and perspective: a $10,000 dinner versus a $10,000 wealth tool 16:08  Sam's take on gurus who have never done a deal 17:08  Why coaches who stop doing deals lose touch with the market 18:47  What Sam is focused on today and repositioning the portfolio 19:38  The Branson hotel lesson and roughly $20,000 a month in losses 20:13  Why single family rentals are his calling card 22:24  Two closing nuggets: don't fear debt and expect failure 24:08  Why the first deal going sideways is the best thing that can happen   Quotables "Nobody creates wealth with their own money, or they're already wealthy."

Money can be the silent partner in every relationship—often creating tension, stress, and confusion that can easily escalate into conflict. Beneath the numbers, every dollar spent or saved carries deeper questions about happiness, security, and the life we're working so hard to build together. How can couples bridge the gap between financial security and true personal fulfillment, especially when their instincts and money habits seem worlds apart? In this episode, listeners are guided through the core foundations of financial well-being and shown how to transform money conversations from battlegrounds into opportunities for connection. The discussion offers practical strategies for navigating differing money personalities, building trust and transparency, and creating shared goals. Listeners will learn why understanding the "why" behind spending habits matters as much as the "how" of budgeting, and how aligning values can lead to both financial security and genuine happiness in a partnership.

— In this profound and deeply heartfelt episode, Valeria sits down with Colleen Quinn to explore the sacred intersection of psychology, spirituality, breathwork, and soul awakening. Together, they dive into the transformational journey behind her upcoming book, Essence Merging — a raw and intimate exploration of trauma, healing, divine love, and the courage to return home to the authentic self. Through near-death experiences, conscious breathwork, mystical synchronicities, and emotional truth, Colleen shares how life's deepest wounds can become portals into awakening and radical self-love. Blending decades of clinical expertise with spiritual insight, this conversation invites listeners into a deeper understanding of what it means to heal not only the mind, but the soul itself. This episode is a powerful reminder that within every breakdown lies the possibility of transformation, and within every breath lives a pathway back to love. Valeria interviews Colleen Quinn — She is the author of  "Essence Merging." Colleen Quinn is a transpersonal psychologist with a child specialty along with certification in breathwork. The word psychology comes from the Greek meaning study of the soul. True healing always takes us into direct relationship with our own soul, bringing coherence to mind, body, and heart. This is Colleen's devotion, not only for herself, but for all. The most reliable way to converse with our own soul is through conscious, integrative breathwork. Colleen has taught psychology at The Ohio State University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Columbus State Community College and was the dean at Hondros College.  Colleen has published research in many top-tier scientific journals, among them Emotion, Adolescent Psychology, and Residential Treatment for Children and Youth to name a few. In her private practice, spanning decades, Colleen used Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Both techniques use breathwork to find and feel our body's stored traumas, loving them to bring healing.  In 2018, Colleen had her second near-death experience, leading her to utter the plea, "let me be love in every moment." This was the catalyst for her spiritual awakening. Her profoundly intimate and raw transformation is chronicled in the upcoming book by Vanguard Press, Essence Merging, due out in April 2026. Colleen uses story to inspire others that there is so much more to life. Emotional truths are interwoven into an unconventional love story that connects us with Colleen and her breathwork partner as they follow the leadings of conscious breath into rediscovery of ancient tantric practices. SE and IFS come to life in her breathwork descent journeys. She weaves in pop culture, mystical synchronicities, psychology, and ancient traditions as she sheds her shame to in-spire others. This story is an invitation for readers to discover their own divine blueprint, and a guide to returning home to the sacred self.  To learn more about Colleen Quinn and her work, please visit: https://www.essencemerging.com/.

In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that a proposed NDAA provision known as Section 224 would be a pipe dream for Bibi Netanyahu by significantly undermining U.S. independence, fusing the US military with the IDF, and effectively integrating the two countries' military and technology sectors while compelling American taxpayers to fund Israel's wars.  Jimmy highlights opposition from Ro Khanna and other lawmakers, who contend that the measure would expand military ties with Israel despite concerns over the Gaza war, human rights issues, and public opposition to additional aid. Supporters of the provision, including Congressmen Pat Fallon and Don Davis, argue that it is intended to improve defense technology collaboration, cybersecurity, and military readiness rather than merge the two militaries.  The discussion also focuses on lobbying influence, congressional debate over U.S.-Israel relations, and the broader political implications of expanding bilateral defense cooperation.
