Tyler and Jimmy cover the topics of What I know now that I wish I knew then when it comes to our off-road builds. They broke the topic into a few categories: Overdelivered, Waste, and Problematic. There are lots of great ideas and personal feedback on what to do when you’re building a rig, and maybe it’s just as simple as buy once, cry once.

Jason welcomes his long-term client David Porter, a retired executive who began investing in residential real estate around 2008. David explains his unique "free lunch metric," which he used to identify stable neighborhoods by ensuring fewer than 50% of local students qualified for government-assisted meals. Throughout the discussion, the pair explores the benefits of buy-and-hold strategies in linear markets like Indianapolis, emphasizing cash flow over speculative appreciation. David shares practical advice on managing property managers, maintaining financial buffers, and the importance of professional oversight for supposedly passive investments. They conclude by highlighting how David's courageous investing during the Great Recession successfully built a reliable income stream for his retirement.   EmpoweredInvestor.com/Wednesday PropertyTracker.com   Key Takeaways: 0:00 The 'Free Lunch' Metric 5:28 3 Markets and TGF crisis 9:00 Lessons learned along the way 17:46 Here's the key 22:05 Tools and market updates 24:46 Thoughts of giving up and insurance 27:34 The great tenant  _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://empoweredinvestor.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://empoweredinvestor.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Jimmy and Tyler dig into a stack of public lands updates in this week’s Monday episode — the kind of episode where you walk away actually understanding the legal mechanics behind the headlines, instead of just reacting to them. The Roadless Rule kicks things off, and it’s more interesting than it sounds. Roads through national forest and BLM land aren’t just recreation access — they’re wildfire infrastructure. Jimmy and Tyler talk through the Caldor Fire, where popular Sierra OHV routes served as fire lines and ingress for hotshot crews, and the broader ecological argument that decades of total fire suppression (no controlled burns, no small fires clearing brush) is exactly why mega-fires have gotten so much worse. The Roadless Rule — which has blocked any new road construction and forced a steady decline in usable routes — is now being reconsidered, with agencies reviewing historical road inventories to determine what could reopen for fire management purposes. It’s currently open for public comment, and Blue Ribbon Coalition has a tool on their site that maps your zip code to your legislators for submitting comments directly. Make a public comment on the Roadless Rule: https://blueribboncoalition.org/roadless-rule-draft-eis-comment/ From there: an update on the Big Bend National Park border wall project in Texas — over $7 billion across five sections, built with no-bid contracts, cutting a new road directly next to an existing one, and initially bypassing NEPA environmental review and public comment entirely. The good news: sustained public pressure has forced a pause on construction while it undergoes review. Also covered: why picking up a rock on public land is technically a federal offense (it’s classified as mining), the ongoing accessibility angle of road closures for wheelchair users and other visitors who can’t hike miles in on foot, and the California OHV permit saga — a coalition-negotiated agreement that got rewritten by the legislative committee and failed its vote, leaving the whole permit effort dead for now. The back half covers two related legal patterns worth knowing: newly released Yellowstone grizzly bear studies show OHV use has never caused a single recorded grizzly death — despite that exact justification being used to close routes — and Jimmy and Tyler connect the dots to the nearly identical legal language used to justify closures at Oceano Dunes (snowy plover), the Western Mojave (desert tortoise), and now the Oregon Dunes (western marmot), in each case without a definitive study proving OHV is actually the cause of death. Then a full breakdown of Wilderness Study Areas — land that’s been managed as de facto wilderness for decades without ever being formally designated, with no legal deadline forcing a decision either way — and Blue Ribbon Coalition’s push to get courts to force a timeline.

On this week's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast: Hotels Edition, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk dig into how the hotel industry measures success, where capital is flowing, and who controls the information guests use to make decisions. The conversation opens with a new Skift analysis arguing that net unit growth, the metric every hotel brand has been racing to win for a decade, may have been the wrong measure all along. From there, Sarah and Steve get into Minor International's plan for a $1 billion hotel REIT spanning its NH Hotels & Resorts, Anantara Hotels & Resorts, and Minor Hotels assets, and what a major Asian-originated hotel capital raise signals about where global hospitality investment is heading. They also unpack Google's acquisition of Spirit Airlines' reservation data from bankruptcy to train its AI hospitality recommendations, and close with what the rise of creator travel content and Substack travel newsletters tells hotel marketers about where traveler trust actually lives now. This episode is presented by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠StayFi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bilt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you're ready to start turning today's guests into tomorrow's direct bookings, head to stayfi.com/goodmorninghospitality and use code GOODMORNINGHOSPITALITY to get 50% off your first three months.

The plan hasn’t been enforced yet — that’s the only reason anyone’s still walking around out there without a permit. Once it is, over 775,000 acres go non-motorized and non-mechanized, permanently, with no path to ever reopen them. Mountain bikes included. Motorized groups get capped at 24 vehicles per route per day before you need a federal permit. Hunters can’t retrieve game or gather firewood off the road by any mechanized means. Hikers can get locked to designated trails only, dispersed camping gets restricted to numbered sites, dogs need to be leashed everywhere, and rock climbers can’t place a new bolt without commission approval. One sentence in the plan — Paragraph 14 — is written broadly enough to prohibit basically anything not yet invented that someone decides is “inconsistent” with protecting the monument. We also get into the two-tier trick land management plans use to delay the real fight: the big decisions get locked in years before anyone announces them, so by the time you actually feel the restriction, it’s framed as “just following the existing plan” instead of a new decision anyone has to defend. And we cover the same legal playbook now showing up at Oregon Dunes, after already being used to shrink Oceano Dunes by up to 80%. If you care about keeping public land open — hiking, biking, wheeling, hunting, camping, all of it — this is the episode to actually understand what’s at stake instead of just reacting to a headline.

Are gaps in your schedule really a case acceptance problem, or are you simply not diagnosing enough of the care your patients need and want? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Metric Mondays co-host Miranda Beeson explain diagnostic percentage, why it is an important leading indicator for future production, and how inconsistent exams, assumptions about patients, and excessive “watching” can limit both care and opportunity. You'll learn how to evaluate diagnostic percentage by provider, create greater consistency in your comprehensive exams, and identify opportunities to better serve existing patients without turning treatment conversations into a sales process. To improve your diagnostic consistency and help more patients understand their options, listen to Episode 1087 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Diagnostic percentage measures the percentage of patients receiving an exam who are diagnosed or treatment planned with new treatment in the practice management software.A low diagnostic percentage can indicate inconsistent exams, incomplete documentation, communication challenges, or assumptions about what patients will accept.Practices should diagnose consistently and allow patients to decide whether and when they want to proceed with treatment.A strong clinical philosophy and standardized examination process help patients receive consistent information regardless of which provider they see.Reviewing diagnostic percentage by provider can reveal variations that should be explored rather than immediately judged as right or wrong.Miranda identifies 45% or higher as a useful benchmark while noting that percentages in the teens, 20s, or low 30s may indicate missed opportunities.Comprehensive exams for existing patients and regular review of conditions being “watched” can uncover changes in patient needs, wants, and appropriate treatment.Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Metric Monday and diagnostic percentage.02:53 Diagnostic percentage as a measure of consistent patient care.05:51 Avoiding assumptions about a patient's willingness or ability to pursue treatment.07:00 Common causes of low diagnostic percentage.10:18 How consistent standards support stronger diagnosis.12:00 Helping patients plan proactively for future dentistry.14:56 Reviewing diagnostic percentage by provider and using benchmarks.17:21 Re-evaluating existing patients with comprehensive exams.19:00 Using improved skills and technology to better evaluate patients over time.20:00 Untapped treatment opportunities within the existing practice.21:00 Closing thoughts.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy.

Click optimization remains fundamentally compromised as a performance marker. Chester Scott, Chief Strategy Officer at Lunio, challenges the metrics most advertisers treat as gospel. He explains why clicks function only as a leading indicator, makes the controversial case against ROAS as a North Star metric, and argues for a shift to marginal ROAS—measuring diminishing returns across channels, platforms, campaigns, audiences, and creative to drive overall effectiveness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lift the lid on most arts organizations' databases and here's what you'll find: no future visit booked. Nothing on the calendar and no plan to come back. In this episode, the TRG team talks about Recency, a word the field rarely uses but can't afford to ignore. A full house feels like success, but a house full of first-timers is a very different business than a house full of loyal patrons who keep coming back. That difference never shows up in your capacity-sold number.We make the case that this isn't really a numbers problem, it's a relationship problem: selling out a house and building loyalty are two different jobs, and “capacity sold” only measures one of them. In its place: something simpler and more critical to repeatable revenue: what percentage of your patrons have a future visit on the books?We walk through why recency is the gateway to frequency, why frequency is what turns ticket buyers into subscribers, members, and donors, and why moving someone from a 12-month habit to a 6-month habit can be worth more than winning a brand-new customer (at a lower cost, too). It's also a leadership challenge: resisting the pull toward short-term revenue and building the discipline to invite people back on purpose, at the right moment, over and over. Press play to hear why "who" matters just as much as "how many," and the one number every leader should go look up in their database this week.  Key takeawaysWhy "who" is in the room matters more than "how many", and why capacity sold (the number most teams are judged on) often can't tell the difference.Why Recency, not capacity sold, is the real measure of whether a relationship is actually growing.What percentage of your database has a future engagement booked, and why almost no leader can answer that off the top of their head.Why recency is the gateway to frequency, and frequency is what turns ticket buyers into subscribers, members and donors.How moving a patron from a 12-month to a 6-month cycle can be worth more than winning a brand-new customer, at a lower cost.

More than half of your new leads may never see a single email you send.It's not your subject line, offer or copy. It's something happening silently before your email ever reaches an inbox. In this episode of Data Beats Opinion, SegMetrics founder Keith Perhac talks with Adrian Savage, co-founder of EmailSmart and one of the sharpest minds in inbox visibility. They dig into why the open rate you're tracking is probably lying to you, the single most-overlooked engagement metric, and why blasting your entire list could be quietly wrecking the one marketing asset you actually own. If email is core to how you sell — and it should be — this episode will change how you read your own numbers.

Ever look at your Meta ads dashboard and think, "My ROAS is great…so why is my Shopify data telling a different story?" Here's the problem: Meta wants you to believe every sale is because of your ad. But that's not the whole story. Today I'm talking with Cathy Hayhurst, our marketing director and ads coach, about our brand new Traffic Bootcamp training. It's all about creating a solid system for getting top quality traffic to your site at a price you can afford, so you can build up to long term sales and profit you can count on. Here's what you'll learn:   Why your ROAS number is only half the story, and which metrics you need to be watching to know if the traffic you're getting is actually good. How to start testing small (with a budget of just $120), and how to know when it's time to scale. How to avoid the money pit of paid ads. Your paid ads strategy should be just one piece of a much larger puzzle. This episode will show you exactly how to leverage them to support your business, not run it.   RELATED LINKS: Why you're not getting Sales - it's NOT your Conversion Rate https://www.thesocialsalesgirls.com/blog/why-youre-not-getting-sales-episode-323 How to get your first sale from Meta ads in 90 Days https://www.thesocialsalesgirls.com/blog/how-to-get-your-first-sale-from-meta-ads-in-90-days-episode-321 Growing your sales: what you must know first https://www.thesocialsalesgirls.com/blog/growing-your-sales-what-you-must-know-first-episode-261 The 'Marketing First' Strategy That Grew This Business to 4.6M Views https://www.thesocialsalesgirls.com/blog/the-marketing-first-strategy-that-grew-this-business-to-4-6m-views-episode-257

Provider production reports can reveal far more than which clinician produced the most. When production numbers are viewed without context around capacity, schedule utilization, experience, and procedure mix, they can create inaccurate comparisons and unproductive conversations. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and practice coach Miranda Beeson explain how to evaluate production by provider as a management and coaching tool rather than a scorecard. You will learn how to connect production with capacity, identify what is influencing each provider's results, and use the data to create clearer expectations and better opportunities for your team to succeed. To learn how to get more useful information from your provider production reports, listen to Episode 1084 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Provider production reports should be used as decision-making and coaching tools rather than simple scorecards.Production comparisons should account for differences in schedule capacity, clinical responsibilities, experience, and procedure mix.Capacity measures how much of a provider's available clinical time is actually being utilized with patients in the chair.Production and schedule utilization should be reviewed together to determine whether each provider has an appropriate opportunity to produce.Practice owners should investigate why providers or specific days perform differently instead of assigning blame based on production totals alone.Reviewing successful and unsuccessful days with the team can reveal scheduling, case acceptance, and service-mix opportunities.Clear expectations and collaborative review of production data can support provider development and associate retention.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro02:19 Why production reports matter04:00 Evaluating associate production with schedule utilization.06:15 Defining provider capacity.07:58 What practices get wrong with production reports.12:42 What healthy practices do differently.15:57 A practical exercise for reviewing production and capacity.18:00 Reviewing successful and unsuccessful days with the team.19:00 Developing providers and supporting associate retention.20:00 Closing thoughts.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

What if one overlooked Amazon metric is quietly costing you sales? Discover how keyword tracking, rank data, and smarter PPC decisions can uncover hidden revenue and stop wasted ad spend.   Amazon sellers spend countless hours researching products, optimizing listings, and managing PPC, but one important metric can easily get overlooked: keyword rank. In this episode, Bradley Sutton breaks down why tracking where your products appear for important search terms can reveal whether your advertising is actually helping your business grow or simply burning through your budget. Even with the rise of AI-powered shopping experiences, keywords remain a major part of how customers discover products on Amazon. Bradley uses real account data, Search Query Performance, and Helium 10 MCP inside Claude to show just how much revenue individual keywords can generate. In one example, a single keyword accounted for thousands of dollars in sales, while hundreds of different search terms contributed purchases to the same product. But finding keywords is only the beginning. Bradley explains how sellers can monitor sponsored and organic rank, identify keyword opportunities competitors are already winning, track relative rank, and automatically discover new search terms worth watching. He also shows how keyword data can inform PPC decisions, including when to raise bids, lower them, pause campaigns, or restart advertising when organic rankings begin to fall. The biggest opportunity comes from turning that data into action. Instead of manually checking dozens of keywords and adjusting bids throughout the day, sellers can connect keyword tracking with advertising rules to dramatically reduce repetitive work. The takeaway is clear: understand which keywords are actually driving your business, track how your rankings change, and use that information to spend smarter. Small improvements across the right keywords can add up to significant sales while helping prevent thousands of dollars in wasted advertising. In episode 544 of the AM/PM Podcast, Bradley discusses: 00:00 - Introduction 01:30 - The Amazon Metric Most Sellers Overlook 03:00 - How Much Amazon Revenue Comes From Keywords? 07:59 - Why Page One Ranking Matters 08:04 - Using Title Density To Find Ranking Opportunities 13:04 - Is Your PPC Actually Improving Organic Rank? 15:17 - Tracking Sponsored And Organic Keyword Rank 21:34 - How One Keyword Generated Thousands In Sales 22:34 - 333 Keywords Driving Purchases 23:34 - Finding Competitor Keyword Opportunities 27:48 - Tracking Your Rank Against Competitors 28:45 - Automatically Finding New Keywords 30:50 - Automating PPC Bid Changes With Keyword Rank 34:40 - Amazon Keyword Strategy Q&A 36:12 - How Many Keywords Should You Track? 38:29 - How To Choose The Right Competitors

Jimmy went out on the Rubicon with the SLO County Crawlers. While they were wheeling to Buck Island Lake, Bobcat quickly became the problem. The wheel had a massive bend in it, the front hub sheared off, and he found a broken leaf spring. Good thing Jimmy has lots of spare parts and was able to get Bobcat back up and running again. Tyler did some tower work and got stung by a wasp.

Is a higher IRR always a sign of a better real estate deal? Not necessarily. In this video, Gino Barbaro breaks down one of the most important questions real estate investors need to ask when analyzing a deal: Should you focus on IRR, or should you be looking at cash-on-cash return and yield? IRR (Internal Rate of Return) can be a useful metric for comparing investments, but it relies heavily on future assumptions — including rent growth, expenses, exit cap rates, financing, and the eventual sale of the property. Small changes in those assumptions can dramatically change the projected IRR. That's why Gino and Jake focus heavily on yield and cash-on-cash returnwhen evaluating their own investments. The bigger lesson? Don't confuse projected returns with realized wealth. When analyzing a real estate deal, ask yourself: • Would I still buy this property if it never appreciated? • Can the property's cash flow survive higher interest rates? • How long could the property operate if rents softened? • Will this investment help fund my next acquisition? • Am I buying projected wealth or actual, verifiable income? • Is the higher return worth the additional effort and risk? Gino also introduces another important concept: ROE — Return on Effort. A property with a slightly lower projected return may ultimately be the better investment if it requires less management, has fewer problems, better tenants, stronger fundamentals, and greater long-term potential.

You're still drinking more than you should, and you want to know if real change actually is a slow process, or if you're just making excuses so you don't have to quit. Here's the honest answer, plus a reliable metric to track so that you can feel more confident about your progress. What you'll learn: Why your drinking is usually the last thing to change, not the first Why counting drinks is counterproductive to your progress Why you lose motivation to "drink less," and the perspective shift that helps you stay consistent What to do when you wake up and realize you "did it again" How to tell whether your discomfort is a sign that you're failing or growing Nervous system regulation is the missing puzzle piece for most high-performing women. Register for the free masterclass, The Science Behind Take It or Leave It: Why Some Women Can and How You Can Too. [Watch the Masterclass Here] One conversation won't change your drinking. But it can change your perspective on what you need to focus on. If you want to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, book a free discovery call.

Enterprise retailers index only 40-50% of their product pages. Joe Doran, Chief Product Officer at Botify, breaks down why indexation—not content quality or page speed—remains the most overlooked lever for organic revenue in commerce. He covers the compounding cost of JavaScript-heavy PDPs on crawl budget allocation, why LLM confirmation crawls fail to verify unrendered reviews and pricing data, and how serving non-human traffic with the same infrastructure investment as human traffic determines visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google Shopping.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If your company has implemented a chatbot or AI agent in the past two years, you may be focusing on the wrong objectives, potentially resulting in significant revenue loss. In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, we interview Dvir Ginsberg, founder and CEO of Encore, whose innovative approach challenges traditional AI deployment strategies. Many organizations rely on deflection rate, which measures how many customers an AI handles without human intervention. However, as Dvir Ginsberg explains, this metric can undermine customer satisfaction and obscure growth opportunities. Focusing solely on deflection rate overlooks more meaningful outcomes such as conversion and value. Encore's approach, known as “interaction mining,” analyzes real customer conversations before any automation occurs. This process uncovers hidden revenue, process gaps, and compliance risks, enabling AI to learn from top human performers and deliver more effective results. This episode examines how compliance concerns differ across industries such as finance, retail, and manufacturing. It also explores the distinction between chatbots that only “sound” human and those that truly “act” human. We outline essential steps every business should take before their next AI rollout and offer new perspectives on achieving AI success. Some topics we explore in this episode include: Deflection rate as a flawed metricImportance of interaction miningRevenue leakage from missed opportunitiesTraining AI on top performer behaviorsCompliance and liability risks of AIShortcomings of prompt-based deploymentAI unlocking new business modelsNeed for continuous post-launch improvementRegulation accelerating AI adoptionOrganizational and cultural change for AI success

A strong production day does not always mean a dental practice used its time efficiently. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Miranda Beeson, co-host of The Best Practices Show, explain why production per hour provides a clearer view of provider efficiency than production per day alone. You will learn how schedule design, procedure mix, capacity utilization, delegation, and provider hours influence productivity, as well as how to calculate and evaluate production per hour in your practice. To better understand the efficiency behind your production numbers, listen to Episode 1081 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Production per day shows the total outcome, while production per hour reveals how efficiently provider time was used.A high-production day may still be inefficient when it requires extra hours, rushed appointments, fragmented procedures, or working through lunch.Intentional scheduling and an appropriate procedure mix can help practices maintain production while reducing clinical hours.Measuring schedule utilization helps practices identify lost production caused by unfilled provider and hygiene time.Comparing high-performing and low-performing schedules can reveal which procedures, workflows, and provider habits improve hourly productivity.Delegating tasks to trained team members allows dentists to focus on the clinical responsibilities only they can perform.Production per hour should be reviewed with curiosity and used to improve systems rather than punish or compare providers.Episode Chapters:00:00 Why production per hour provides a clearer view than production per day.01:00 Introduction to Metric Mondays and production efficiency.02:17 The difference between daily production and hourly production.03:48 What inefficient production looks like in practice.05:24 Why production per hour is the ultimate measure of efficiency.06:34 Creating leadership time through more strategic scheduling.07:26 What practices do differently when they measure time effectively.09:22 Improving production through schedule and capacity utilization.10:12 The financial impact of open hygiene appointments.11:18 How to calculate production per hour.12:01 Comparing provider schedules and procedure mix.13:18 Delegation as a way to improve provider efficiency.14:41 Asking the team how efficiently time was used.15:17 Using production data to identify practice opportunities.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy. Family time is the best time, and is often spent on a golf course, a volleyball court, or spending the day boating at the beach.Episode Resources:Capacity Tracker: https://www.actdental.com/blog/data-snapshot-capacity-percentageWeekly Production Scorecard: https://www.actdental.com/blog/data-snapshot-production-per-visitMore Helpful Links for a Better Practice & a Better Life:Contact Gina to learn more about ACT: gina@actdental.comThe Best Practices Show: https://www.actdental.com/podcast/Smile Source Community Hub: https://www.actdental.com/community-hubUpcoming Events & Workshops: https://www.actdental.com/events/Smile Source: https://www.smilesource.com/Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com

Brand awareness is one of the most reported metrics in marketing.It's in almost every board deck.Almost every brand tracker.Almost every agency review.But what if it's measuring the wrong thing?In this Sharp Cut, Marc and V explore why mental availability matters more than awareness, why Category Entry Points (CEPs) outperform personas as a planning framework, and why marketers should stop asking "Who is our customer?" and start asking "What buying situations do we need to own?"Topics include:Mental availability vs brand awarenessWhy awareness often fails to predict growthThe power of Category Entry PointsCreative as a targeting systemWhy Meta is moving away from hyper-targetingThe measurement framework marketers should actually useIf you've ever presented a rising awareness score alongside a flat business result, this episode is for you.Chapters:00:00 - Welcome to Sharp Cuts00:35 - Why Brand Awareness Is Misleading02:00 - Mental Availability vs Awareness03:45 - What Should We Measure Instead?05:15 - Category Entry Points Explained07:10 - The Seven Whys Framework08:00 - Why CEPs Changed the Conversation09:00 - Creative Becomes the Targeting Tool11:00 - Why Meta Is Broadening Audiences12:30 - Two Performance Marketers Confess15:30 - Where CEPs Go Wrong16:30 - The Three Cs of Prioritization17:30 - Distinctive Assets & Memory18:30 - Bailey's Case Study19:00 - Stop Measuring Brand Love20:30 - The New Measurement Framework21:30 - Final Takeaways

n8n's founder puts the company's GitHub repo, nearly 200,000 stars, right next to the paid signup button, and he's genuinely fine if you never pay. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) sits down with Jan Oberhauser, CEO of n8n, the open-source automation platform that's crossed $100 million in ARR at a $5.2 billion valuation. Jan breaks down the "fair-code" license bet that let him give the product away and still build a business, how that free version became the on-ramp into enterprises like Meta, Nvidia, Dell, Accenture, Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, and Mercedes, and why he believes the people with the problem should build the automation themselves, not a centralized team or an outside agency.He also walks through a live build of a personal AI agent (email and calendar), shows how n8n falls back from Claude to GPT via OpenRouter when a model isn't available, and explains how enterprises get automations into production faster because each agent can only do exactly what it's been permitted to do.What you'll learn:Why n8n rejected traditional open source for a "fair-code" license, and how it avoided the community backlash that burned other companiesWhy trust and consistency, not features, are the real center of a communityHow the free, self-hosted version drives bottom-up adoption inside major enterprisesWhy "sprinkling AI on top" kills products, and what to build insteadHow to chain agents so one agent's output becomes the next agent's inputWhy n8n is the "connective tissue" between models, tools, and business systemsHow guardrails (an agent can only do what it's explicitly allowed) speed up enterprise procurement and productionWhy the people with the problem should own the building, not a centralized AI teamHow 10,000+ community templates and 500+ integrations expand what non-technical builders can shipHow one company routes 75% of support through an n8n agent, with customers happier than with humansConnect with Guest (Jan Oberhauser):LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janoberhauserX: https://x.com/JanOberhauserHost: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Jan Oberholzer: Jan is the CEO of n8n, an open-source (fair-code) workflow automation and orchestration platform for building AI agents.

FAI creation is an essential element of quality control programs but can consume a significant amount of time. In this webinar, we will discuss a tool that consolidates all requirements into an accountability checklist, keeping drawing and inspection sheets in sync. Automatically capture sheet and zone and identify Bill of Materials (BOM) and specifications for a complete and accurate report. This software exports a professional ballooned print as a PDF and can output to your customized Excel spreadsheet. In this session, we'll go over how to reduce quality escapes that occur from overlooking requirements. Failing results are flagged in real-time and any missing required FAIR AS9102 data is also flagged for compliance to the standard. Easily renumber balloon sequencing and change between Imperial and Metric units as required by your customers. Learn how to seamlessly import your CMM data to validate each result and easily flag non-conformances. Use any CMM in your shop to create result data and automatically populate the Designed Tooling. The tool we discuss will assist you in keeping up with the growing prevalence of 3D modeling in manufacturing. Using the Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) of the model, this software extracts the geometry and notes from the model to create views with ballooned data and exports to the inspection sheet. In this webinar, you will learn how to: Error-proof each FAI for accuracy and customer approval. Eliminate the need for manual data entry. Use your CMM output to populate FAI actuals. Address your customer's requirement for MBD. PRESENTER: Jeffrey C.

Most LinkedIn users are missing one of the most important analytics updates the platform has released.Likes, comments, and even total impressions only tell part of the story.LinkedIn has quietly introduced a much more valuable KPI inside your analytics: Discovery.Under your impression analytics, you'll now see two categories:• In-network impressions: People who already follow you or are connected to you.• Out-of-network impressions: People who don't follow you and aren't connected to you.Here's why this matters.If the majority of your impressions are coming from your existing network, you're primarily reaching the same audience over and over again.But if a growing percentage of your impressions are coming from out-of-network viewers, LinkedIn is signaling that your content is valuable enough to recommend to people who have never heard of you before.That is how real audience growth happens.In my opinion, this is one of the healthiest KPIs to track because it shows whether your content is expanding beyond your current circle rather than simply recycling within it.Now, that doesn't mean in-network impressions are bad. Your existing audience should absolutely continue seeing your content. But if your goal is to attract new clients, grow your authority, and consistently reach fresh audiences, you want to see your out-of-network percentage increasing over time.Instead of asking, "How many impressions did this post get?"Start asking, "Who generated those impressions?"That's a much more meaningful question.Focus on creating content that teaches, sparks thoughtful conversations, and keeps people reading. When LinkedIn sees people finding value in what you share, it's far more likely to introduce your content to people outside your existing network.Growth doesn't happen by talking to the same people louder.It happens when LinkedIn starts introducing you to the people who don't know you yet.Don't forget to sign up for our FREE LinkedIn Content Roadmap workshop here:https://www.thetimetogrow.com/LinkedInContentRoadmap

How much of your practice's production can you actually count on as collectible revenue? The gap between gross production and net production can obscure profitability, distort financial decisions, and lead dentists to work harder without improving cash flow. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and Metric Monday co-host and ACT Dental coach Miranda Beeson explain how gross production reflects clinical activity while net production reflects the financial reality of the practice. You will learn how to calculate your adjustment percentage, identify where production is being reduced, and use accurate data to make better decisions about providers, operatories, insurance participation, and growth—listen to Episode 1078 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Gross production reflects the services and clinical activity completed by the team.Net production represents the amount the practice can potentially collect after adjustments.Practices must bill their full fees to accurately measure gross production and adjustment activity.Decisions about adding providers, operatories, patients, or locations should not be based on gross production alone.Adjustment categories should be specific enough to distinguish PPO adjustments, membership plan adjustments, professional courtesies, and other discounts.The adjustment percentage is calculated by dividing total adjustments by gross production.Reviewing gross production, adjustments, and net production together provides a clearer picture of profitability and collectible revenue.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro02:13 Gross production and net production explained04:07 Why the gap between the two metrics matters.05:45 How gross production can lead to poor growth decisions.08:14 Reframing write-offs as discounts.11:36 How practices use both metrics correctly.14:08 Working smarter vs working harder15:51 How to calculate and evaluate the adjustment percentage.18:57 Improving adjustment tracking and reporting.19:53 Wrap upGuest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

"Downloads are one of the least useful numbers for understanding whether your podcast is actually building your business, and the obsession with downloads is causing real damage." For B2B podcasters, the goal isn't massive reach—it's high-value engagement. In this episode, I break down why download counts often mask the true performance of your show and why a niche audience of decision-makers is far more valuable than thousands of passive listeners. I share the specific metrics and industry benchmarks you should be tracking to diagnose your content's health, optimize your pacing, and ensure your podcast is actively driving business results.Key TakeawaysThe Download Myth: A download is simply a device pulling a file, which often happens automatically without a single second of playback.Quality over Quantity: Reaching the "right 50" decision-makers is infinitely more valuable than achieving 50,000 downloads from a broad, irrelevant audience.The Power of Existence: A podcast frequently generates business simply by existingDiagnostic Completion Rates: Use your completion rate to troubleshoot your content.Compound Subscriber Growth: Stop tracking total subscriber counts, which only ever go up. Chapters and Timestamps00:01 – Why download counts are a misleading indicator of success.00:05– Why B2B podcasts only need 50 of the right listeners to be profitable.00:08 – Metric #1: How to use listener retention (completion rate) to diagnose your show's structure.00:14– Why branded B2B podcasts see completion rates as high as 90%.00:17 – Metric #2: Why you should track your new subscriber rate rather than your total count.Send us Fan MailBook a free call with me here to help you create the best podcast possible!

In this high-vibrational episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber is joined by body therapist, breathwork facilitator, and gene keys guide Dina Maayan. Fresh off the heels of the latest WeDeepen Love Immersion, the duo breaks down the serious mechanics of play and why infusing absolute silliness into modern connection is the ultimate medicine for shifting out of psychological heaviness. Dina pulls back the curtain on her cosmic origin story with her fiancé (Acro Yoga founder Jason Nemer)—involving smuggled Hawaiian mangoes, a symbolic totem box, and a literal coconut tree climb—while mapping out how human beings can alchemize deep childhood panic attacks into modern nervous system mastery. Main Topics Covered Play as a Metric of Success: Reframing comedy, improv, and games like Truth or Dare as high-frequency portals to bypass the adult ego. The Anatomy of a Perfect Prank: Dina's step-by-step formula for cultivating social courage, engineering creative characters, and leveraging vocal accents. The Magic of "Squish": Defining the conscious community's favorite somatic environment: Tempur-Pedic foam, sheepskins, and white fuzzy blankets designed for deep co-regulation. The Alchemical Totem Box: How Jason utilized a carved wooden box containing five specific symbolic items to explicitly anchor and manifest his future wife from the quantum field. Nervous System Leadership: Dina's personal path from experiencing severe childhood panic attacks at age six to training holistic breathwork facilitators globally. www.dinamaayan.com Sober Realities: Shifting away from drug-induced expansions into endogenous breath retentions to access higher, altered states of consciousness completely clean. Gene Keys and the Alchemy of Struggle: A philosophical deep dive into why your deepest structural wound or misfortune contains the precise raw materials to unlock your highest genius. Endings with Finesse: A transparent look at how Christina processed a very public romantic breakup without entering a victim consciousness state. Key Takeaways Inject Play to Dissolve Friction: When partnership or friendship feels bogged down by corporate stress or relational gridlock, strategic play acts as a rapid shortcut back to core alignment. Giving is an Inside Job: Authentic community belonging is established the second you stop searching for validation and instead step into a room as an active additive of service. Nervous System Co-Regulation: Public figures and master facilitators are not immune to social anxiety or blanking out. True safety is a physical, non-verbal resonance shared in real-time between bodies. The Antidote to Trauma is Self-Trust: Holding your breath on empty or full retentions trains the psyche to handle physiological stress, rewriting your baseline relationship with fear. Connect with the Guest About Dina Maayan: Dina Maayan is a Nervous System Expert and human optimization guide specializing in evidence-based somatic recalibration. As the founder of the Breath of Life Institute, Dina blends deep physiological science with ancient wisdom to help high-performing leaders, athletes, and creatives transition out of chronic exhaustion and stress patterns into sustainable clarity, focus, and authentic self-trust.

Motivation disappears the moment the work gets difficult. Discipline keeps you moving anyway. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why motivation is too unreliable to build a successful business and why disciplined execution is the only metric that truly matters. Feelings change. Standards should not. The entrepreneurs who win are not always the most inspired. They are the ones who follow the process, complete the checklist, and execute regardless of their mood. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why relying on motivation destroys consistency• How systems and standard operating procedures remove emotion from execution• Why the hardest days build the strongest entrepreneurs• How discipline creates the consistency required to scale The truth is simple: Amateurs wait until they feel ready. Professionals go to work. Stop analyzing your emotions. Follow the system. Execute the plan. Discipline dictates your destiny. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

In this episdoe:  0:04 - VO2 Max Obsession Explained 2:58 - Study Design and Data Scale 4:41  - VO2 Max Is Only a Metric 7:34 - Performance, Not Just Endurance 8:49 - Body Fat and Activity Matter 12:59 - Why Performance Goals Work 17:16 - GLP-1s and Body Composition 21:12 - No Metric Chasing 22:09 - No Fitness Hacks 24:37 - Home Gym Con Update 26:10 - App Progress Report 30:43 - Teen Testing the App In this episode, we discuss why VO2 max has become a common focus in fitness and longevity conversations, and we look at whether it is the main driver of longer life or mainly a marker of other factors. We break down the study findings and note that body composition, especially body fat percentage, and overall physical activity appear to be more important predictors of longevity than chasing VO2 max directly.We also compare VO2 max with other fitness metrics and say that focusing on one number can make people miss the habits that create it. We then shift to goal setting and explain that performance goals like improving a mile time or a back squat are often more motivating than aiming only at fat loss or a scale target. We finish with updates on the app, including testing on Apple and Android, and mention our upcoming appearance at Home Gym Con. We also note that athletes are already using the app and giving feedback.

Metric is a band from Canada that was formed in 1998. They've won four Juno Awards, including Group of the Year. Rolling Stone included them in their list of the 50 Greatest Canadian Artists of All Time. In April 2026, Metric released their 10th album, Romanticize the Dive. And for this episode, I spoke to Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw about how they made the opening song on that album, “Victim of Luck.”For more info, visit songexploder.net/metric.
