254: In this episode, I'm talking with Claude Diamond, a legendary sales coach, real estate investor, former attorney, and the creator of the G.U.T.S. Sales Method. In this conversation, we dive deep into how real persuasion works in real estate and why most land investors get it completely wrong.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/254)We covered the real psychology of sales: why most training misses the mark, how to turn prospects into the salesperson, the power of silence, emotional decision-making, qualifying fast with a 3-minute timer, and why enthusiasm + value beats every script. Claude shares raw stories, role-plays, and his “Gut Selling” philosophy that's made him financially free and is still helping investors worldwide.If you're tired of rejection, shiny-object syndrome, or just sending more mail without better conversations, this is the one you've been waiting for.

Let's start with the Bad News?The ICE game3 UnitedHealth Group Minnetonka41 Target Minneapolis105 U.S. Bancorp; IR site not working: Minneapolis108 Best Buy Richfield115 CHS Inver Grove Heights174 3M Maplewood216 General Mills Golden Valley230 Ameriprise Financial MinneapolisAnthony Saglimbene, Chief Market Strategist, Ameriprise Financial: Is Corporate America Up For Its First Big Test Of 2026? 1/12/2026“geopolitical and Washington headlines have increased risk, from developments in Venezuela to broader policy noise, including the pending International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) decision which didn't occur last week, affordability proposals in Washington, and unexpected policies and executive orders that could impact housing and defense companies”233 C.H. Robinson Eden Prairie262 Land O'Lakes Arden Hills274 Ecolab St. Paul319 Xcel Energy Minneapolis352 Hormel Foods Austin388 Thrivent Financial MinneapolisThe Good GameThe oil CEO who stood up to Trump is a follower of the disciplined ‘Exxon way' with a history of blunt statementsBig Oil executives met at the White House to discuss investing billions to revive Venezuela's oil industry.Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods pushed back, calling Venezuela “uninvestable” without long-term reforms.President Trump reacted angrily, calling Exxon “too cute” and signaling he may exclude the company from Venezuela.Woods declined to appease Trump at the expense of Exxon shareholders.Analysts said Exxon stock would likely have fallen if it committed billions to Venezuela's uneconomic, high-risk environment.Veteran analyst Jim Wicklund said Woods was the only executive willing to speak plainly.Industry has little urgency to return to Venezuela, and no deal can offset the extreme political risk.Even sweeter terms wouldn't change the math: political risk outweighs potential rewards by “a factor of 10.”Microsoft Pledges to Pay More for Electricity, Drawing Praise From Trump A senior Microsoft executive on Tuesday addressed the impact data centers have on the electrical costs for home consumers, an increasingly touchy subject that became a political hot button in November's elections.In a blog post ahead of a speech on artificial intelligence, Brad Smith, Microsoft's president, reiterated that Microsoft wants to pay for the electricity its data center use and avoid affecting everyday customers. “We'll ask utilities and public commissions to set our rates high enough to cover the electricity costs for our data centers,” Mr. Smith wrote.US Judge Allows Orsted to Resume $5 Billion Rhode Island Offshore Wind Project Halted by TrumpRevolution Wind is a $5 billion development co-owned by Orsted that aims to deliver renewable power to Rhode Island and Connecticut. It is the first of five offshore wind projects paused by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in late December over what officials described as radar interference risks identified by the Department of Defense.Trump tries to reduce CEO pay and halt billions in stock buybacks at defense contractorsThe executive order is creating a “new, government-mandated form of ESG,” referring to the environmental, social, and governance framework that grew prominent in recent years and prodded CEOs to focus on their companies' broader stakeholder impact and not just shareholders.Ironically, the prioritization of ESG was derided as “woke” by critics and the administration has been generally hostile toward ESG. The defense contractor order is conceptually similar in that it prods companies to prioritize a customer over maximizing value for shareholders.President Donald Trump signed an executive order zeroing in on pay packages for executives at large defense contractors deemed to have underperformed on existing government contracts while chasing newer, bigger deals, according to the White House. At the same time, the order claims, these companies have bought back billions in stock, enriching both shareholders and executives.“Effective immediately, they are not permitted in any way, shape, or form to pay dividends or buy back stock, until such time as they are able to produce a superior product, on time and on budget,” the order, titled “Prioritizing the Warfighter in Defense Contracting,” states.The order further directs the Secretary of War to identify contractors that have underperformed the terms of their deals with the government and hatch a plan to resolve delays and production issues. If the resolution plan is insufficient, according to the secretary, future contracts will include provisions banning stock buybacks and dividends and will prohibit tying pay to “short-term financial metrics” such as free cash flow or earnings per share.Trump elaborated in a post on his messaging platform Truth Social last week, railing against pay packages in the defense industry, claiming they are “exorbitant and unjustifiable” given the delays in delivering military equipment. Until those issues are remediated, “no Executive should be allowed to make in excess of $5 Million Dollars which, as high as it sounds, is a mere fraction of what they are making now,” the president wrote.US oil lobby group backs repeal of climate rule for vehicles, not power plantsThe American Petroleum Institute supports the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to repeal the foundation of greenhouse gas regulations for vehicles but not for power plants and other stationary industrial facilities."We would not support repealing the endangerment finding for stationary sources," API President Mike Sommers told reporters, adding that the trade group believes it has "the greatest standing" from a regulatory perspective and it is clear the EPA has authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from those sources.Judge: Trump violated Fifth Amendment by ending energy grants in only blue statesCourt Rules Trump DOE Violated the Constitution When It Cancelled Clean Energy Funding in Specific StatesAdministration Action Violated Constitutional Guarantee to Equal Protection Under the LawNorway Pushes Electric Vehicles to Nearly All New Car Sales in 2025Electric vehicles accounted for 95.9 percent of all new car registrations in Norway in 2025, rising to almost 98 percent in December, placing the country far ahead of global peers.A mix of targeted tax relief for low cost electric vehicles and rising charges on petrol and diesel cars has reshaped consumer demand and manufacturer strategy.Norway's approach contrasts with the wider European Union, where weaker demand has prompted a rollback of the planned 2035 ban on internal combustion engine vehicles.Meet autistic Barbie: the newest Mattel doll launched in line intended to celebrate diversityMattel said it developed the autistic doll over more than 18 months in partnership with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights and better media representation of people with autismThe eyes of the new Barbie shift slightly to the side to represent how some people with autism sometimes avoid direct eye contact, he said. The doll also was given articulated elbows and wrists to acknowledge stimming, hand flapping and other gestures that some autistic people use to process sensory information or to express excitement, according to Mattel.The development team debated whether to dress the doll in a tight or a loose-fitting outfit, Pervez said. Some autistic people wear loose clothes because they are sensitive to the feel of fabric seams, while others wear figure-hugging garments to give them a sense of where their bodies are, he said.

Faux Fixer Upper: A Tik-Tok Couple's 5 Million Dollar FraudChristopher and Raquelle Judge were a seemingly glamorous North Texas Tik-Tok influencer couple who on August 11th 2025 were charged with turning dream homes into nightmares.Posing as expert home builders and renovators, the Judges swindled over 40 families out of nearly $5 million through a sophisticated wire fraud scheme, leaving behind half-finished houses, shattered trusts, and mountains of debt. From their TikTok-fueled facade of luxury living to the courtroom confessions that could land them decades behind bars, Jim breaks down the red flags, the victims' harrowing stories, and the federal investigation that brought their empire crumbling down.For commercial free early releases, bonus episodes and more! https://www.patreon.com/exposedpodcastfiles Links to Follow Crime Wire Weekly https://linktr.ee/crimewireweekly  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.

Craig and Big Mac debate whether the Mets would be making a mistake if they paid Kyle Tucker 50 million dollars a year. The guys also debate what pound for pound would mean when the show flew off the rails at the end of this segment.

Remember when building a luxury Ritz-Carlton tower in downtown Portland seemed like a brilliant idea? Fast forward to 2026, and we've got a 50% fire sale on units that can't even move at half price. What could go wrong with $7.85 million condos surrounded by open-air drug markets, zombie mini-marts, and streets you wouldn't walk at night?We're breaking down how this 460-foot skyscraper went from Portland's luxury flagship to an absolute albatross—with one-bedrooms slashed from $1.2M to $600K, two-bedrooms cut from $2.6M to $1M, and three-bedrooms gutted from $3.3M to $1.6M. Only 11 of 130+ units sold, and the lender is desperate to move inventory. We'll walk through the dystopian street-level reality, the appraiser's brutal analysis showing units priced 3.7X higher than downtown averages, and why even world-class finishes can't overcome external obsolescence when your neighborhood features hypodermic needles and human feces.Is this a buying opportunity or the perfect case study in timing over location? Will 50% off actually move the needle, or do these prices need to drop another 20%? Drop your thoughts below—and if you've experienced downtown Portland lately, share your stories.

The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react. Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before. Interviewer: And then the battle began? Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything. Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn’t they help? Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn’t just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don’t know how to describe it… it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist? Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans? Security Guard: Without a doubt. I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with. Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America? Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2010081288804499739?s=20  Trump To Meet Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Next Week President Trump plans to meet with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado next week during her planned visit to the United States. This development comes despite his earlier reluctance to back her for the country’s top leadership role.

Like it or not, Trump is dismantling your grift and rewriting the world order. You don’t have any logical reason to oppose it, except you hate that your era of dependence on US taxpayers is finally ending. So all you can do is appeal to emotions and invent a war out of thin cloth. War/Peace Russia Strikes Back Using Hypersonic Missiles Against Kiev Following Drone Attack on Putin's Residence Someone launched the drones from Ukraine and targeted them at Putin's residence to send a message.  There is considerable debate online about it, but if President Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are speaking truthfully, the most likely suspect who launched the drones was British intelligence inside Ukraine.  Then again, if the CIA was factually involved, everyone would have to deny it. In retaliation for the December 29th attack, yesterday Russia fired a hypersonic Oreshnik missile and counterattack drones directly into the heart of Kiev, Ukraine. The use of the Oreshnik missile comes just hours after Russian President Putin asserted publicly that Ukraine, Europe and NATO have no defenses against the hypersonics. President Zelenskyy said the Russian attack involved 242 drones, 13 ballistic missiles, one Oreshnik missile and 22 cruise missiles. However, as with all things Zelenskyy, this dramatic claim seems to be slightly exaggerated. Russia claims they targeted key electricity infrastructure as well as the production facilities for building drones in Kiev which are collocated in residential areas.

His “trilogy” strategy is a purposeful plan, to remove the cabal control over our national security, by investing in new companies that are focused on advanced technologies for our military. The military industrial complex is being FORCED to compete with these new companies aligned with Trump. Which companies? 1) Palantir > expertise in data intelligence. 2) Anduril > autonomous weapons systems. 3) General Matter > next generation energy infrastructure. These three companies are the tip of the spear, when it comes to future warfare. Trump is funding their technological advancements and they are playing critical roles in our defense and the country's future. It's not a coincidence that Trump has recently criticized the big defense contractors. “Ah, the military industrial complex (MIC), that great behemoth blob that eats your tax dollars as a fat kid eats fried foods. Trump announced Wednesday that he plans to trim some of its fat and crack down on a notorious practice among defense companies: stock buybacks.” “Trump on the defense contractors focusing on Wall Street instead of production: “Defense contractors are currently issuing dividends and massive stock buybacks, at the expense of investing in plants and equipment. This will no longer be allowed or tolerated!” “All United State Defense Contractors, and the Defense Industry as a whole, BEWARE: While we make the best Military Equipment in the World (No other Country is even close!), Defense Contractors are currently issuing massive Dividends to their Shareholders and massive Stock Buybacks, at the expense and detriment of investing in Plants and Equipment,” Trump said. “From this moment forward, these Executives must build NEW and MODERN Production Plants, both for delivering and maintaining this important Equipment, and for building the latest Models of future Military Equipment,” the president went on. “Until they do so, no Executive should be allowed to make in excess of $5 Million Dollars which, as high as it sounds, is a mere fraction of what they are making now.” A stock buyback is when a company uses its own cash to buy its own shares on the public market to reduce the total number of shares and juice the shares' value.” https://dailycaller.com/2026/01/09/donald-trump-defense-contractors-military-stock-buybacks-dividends-tax-dollars-ceo-salaries/ This has been a huge scam on Wall Street for a long time. A company uses their cash or debt in order to buy back their own companies stock, which drives up the price. Their bonus and salary are based on that stock price, not their company's performance or whether or not they are fulfilling their contracts. That crooked scam is ending. They will build plants, hire more workers and complete their obligations on time and on budget or lose government contracts. Trump has the ability as Commander in Chief, to take over these defense contractors because of “national security.” And that leverage will be applied. The Commander in Chief has extraordinary power during WAR and national emergencies. The military industrial complex is now being dismantled. But have you heard what else, Thiel is deeply involved in? Thiel is also helping to transform our financial system too. This transformation is focused on “stablecoins.” It's another trilogy strategy. Thiel is building a comprehensive ecosystem, based on “compliance,” infrastructure, and financial control. Have you heard of these companies? 1) Bullish Exchange > front end trading platform for a “stablecoin” ecosystem. 2) Erebor Digital Bank > backend infrastructure for “stablecoin” transactions. 3) Ubyx > “stablecoin” clearing protocol. Trump is pushing “stablecoins” because of NATIONAL SECURITY.

I am a father not a mom. But sums it up pretty well, what was she thinking?I'm a mother, so I'm going to comment right now. I will say this exactly the way a mother thinks it, raw, direct, and without pretending this is complicated.A 37-year-old woman. Three kids. Middle of a work week. The father of those children is dead. She is the parent left. The one job she has above every cause, every protest, every headline, is getting home to her kids.And what is she doing instead?She's out of state (other reports claim she lives there), in the street, in her car, blocking federal agents who are doing their job. Not alone! Her partner is right there filming her like this is some brave little documentary moment. Around them: sirens blaring, people yelling, pure chaos, manufactured chaos, so agents can't do their lawful duty.Her window is down. She hears the orders. She understands the orders. She ignores the orders.Then she puts the car in reverse.Still doesn't comply.Then she puts it in drive, NOT park! She moves forward into the agent.That's not “confusion.”That's not “panic.”That's decision after decision after decision.Now put yourself in the agent's shoes for half a second. A driver is already in an unlawful act! refusing commands in a hostile, chaotic scene, and now that driver uses a vehicle to move toward you. You get a split second. You don't get the luxury of “Maybe she's just stressed.” You have to assume the worst, you have to think of protecting other people like the partner at the window, because if you assume the best and you're wrong, you don't go home or someone else.So the agent fires after she makes an intentional and aggressive move toward him, because he has no idea what her intentions are, and she just demonstrated she's willing to escalate.Now… imagine her three kids. At school. Sitting there like any other day. Not knowing their mother is out playing street-hero games for criminals in the middle of a work week, with the two adults responsible for them!She didn't think about them.She didn't think, “If I get arrested, who picks my babies up?”She didn't think, “If I get hurt, who raises them?”She didn't think, “If I die, they have nobody.”She thought about protecting criminals.She thought about interfering with federal agents.She thought about the camera.She thought about the crowd.She thought about the moment.There is no amount of evidence, money, tears on TV, or news spin that can make this make sense.As a mother: NOTHING about this makes sense.At minimum, she knew her actions could get her arrested. At minimum. And she still chose it. She chose strangers. She chose chaos. She chose lawlessness.Make it make sense, because the only thing I see is three kids who just got abandoned by the only parent they had left, not by accident… but by a series of deliberate choices.  https://twitter.com/mattvanswol/status/2010336379721425112?s=20  me.

They need SOMETHING where the dead protestors are blameless. They are DESPERATELY seeking an image like the one below. Keep this in mind in the days and weeks ahead. Chicago Police Superintendent Reminds the Public ICE Is Law Enforcement and Has Authority Over Citizens Instagram and other social media posts have spread false claims that ICE agents are not law enforcement, have no authority over citizens, and that citizens or even illegal aliens should resist them. These posts also falsely claim that people are not required to comply with ICE orders, that ICE lacks arrest power without a warrant, or that ICE cannot arrest a citizen. All of this is untrue. These misconceptions are fueling resistance to ICE, including escalating violence and chaos. Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said during a press conference the day after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in self-defense that ICE personnel are sworn law enforcement officers and must be treated as such. Snelling said that when federal agents are boxed in by vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe they are being ambushed and that the situation could quickly become deadly. “If you box them in with vehicles, it is reasonable for them to believe that they are being ambushed,” he said, adding that officers are justified in using force in self-defense under those conditions. He warned the public not to interfere with law enforcement operations, stressing that boxing in any officer is illegal and dangerous. “You are breaking the law when you do that, and you are putting yourself in danger,” Snelling said. He added that officers are justified in viewing individuals who persistently follow them as potential threats.

After an absolutely remarkable year, Casey Deary was the perfect choice for this episode. In 2025, he captured the NRHA Open Derby Championship, won The American Performance Horseman Individual Reining, piloted Down Right Amazing to $1 Million in lifetime earnings, and topped it all off by winning the NRHA Open Futurity aboard Belissimo. Casey himself earned over $1 Million in 2025, pushing his lifetime earnings past $6 Million—making this one of the most impressive seasons of his career.Naturally, we had plenty of questions for the Futurity Champion—starting with how he went from his first trying run on Belissimo in Tulsa to winning the biggest event of the year. We also got answers to some of the really important ones, like:Does the $6 Million Rider pack his own clothes for a horse show?And why is he always showing in blue shirts?Along the way, the group shares training insights, stories about rodeo clown–golf outfits, loose teeth, weight loss, and plenty of laughs that only come from years of experience in the industry.The conversation also turns to Casey's carefully built breeding program—the exceptional mares that shaped it, why those bloodlines matter, and how important it is to build a strong foundation for long-term success.We loved sitting down with Casey for great stories, real insight, and a lot of fun with one of the greatest to ever do it.Thank you for joining us, Casey.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.MrBeast has spent the past few days doing exactly what has turned him into a one man media ecosystem, bouncing between red carpets, streaming platforms, and headlines while quietly shaping the next chapter of his empire. At the premiere of Beast Games season two for Prime Video, Access Hollywood captured Jimmy Donaldson calling the new season arguably the biggest collab in TV history, a Survivor crossover where 100 of the strongest people in the world face 100 of the smartest for at least a 5 million dollar prize and possibly as much as 10 million, with a heavier focus on strategy and storytelling than season one according to his own description in that interview. He also confirmed he will appear on Survivor 50 but said he is not allowed to share details, a teasing hint that could become a major biographical milestone if the worlds biggest YouTuber successfully crosses into legacy network reality TV. In the same appearance he publicly leaned into traditional Hollywood, joking that YouTube has his number if they want him to host the Oscars on the platform, signaling his ongoing push to sit at the top table of both digital and legacy entertainment. On the personal front, he told Access Hollywood that his upcoming wedding to fiancee Thea Booysen will be small and intimate, a deliberate contrast to his massive public spectacles, and he did not rule out a wedding vlog, which would instantly become one of the most watched creator wedding videos ever if it happens, though that remains speculative until posted. Business wise, Prime Video s rollout of the first three episodes of Beast Games season two this week cements his shift from pure YouTube creator to hybrid streaming showrunner, with trade coverage framing the series as a flagship unscripted bet for Amazon. Casting coverage from outlets like AOL notes there is still no announced casting call for a third season as of early January, underscoring that the long term future of the franchise is still being negotiated behind the scenes rather than publicly confirmed. In lighter but widely shared news, Business Insider reported on his recent GQ 10 essentials video, highlighting that he burns through roughly a dozen pairs of AirPods a year, color codes multiple pairs for different times of day, and keeps briefcases with ten thousand dollars ready around the studio for spontaneous giveaways, a small but vivid detail of how his life and business are engineered around constant calls, content, and cash driven stunts. Across social media, clips from the Beast Games premiere, his Survivor teases, and his comments about Timothee Chalamet deserving an Oscar have been circulating heavily, but beyond that there are no verified bombshell controversies or major new business acquisitions breaking in the last 24 hours, just a steady drumbeat of promotion and speculation from fans about what the rumored 10 million dollar prize and the Survivor crossover might mean for the future scale of his projects.

In this episode, I sit down with Shawn Nelson, founder and CEO of LoveSac, to share the real behind the scenes story of how LoveSac nearly failed and ultimately survived. Shawn walks through the moment quitting felt reasonable, the million dollar order that forced him to bet everything, and the grit required to build a business with no factory, no money, and no margin for error. We also dive into leadership lessons around ego, scaling through humility, staying present, and the daily practices that ground him as a founder and human. Key takeaways: Pressure can sharpen focus or break you depending on how you respond Bold action often comes before certainty Ego may start a business but humility scales it Hiring great people only works if you let them own their role Presence is built through daily habits, not personality Staying close to customers renews belief and clarity This episode is for founders, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are pushing through uncertainty, scaling a team, or questioning their next move. You will walk away with practical leadership insights, mindset shifts, and reminders that staying present, letting go of control, and committing to small daily habits can turn near failure into lasting success.

Alan Jackson walked into court this morning as Nick Reiner's attorney. He walked out as his former attorney, telling reporters that Nick is "not guilty of murder" under California law — but that he won't be the one proving it.Jackson told Judge Theresa McGonigle he had "no choice" but to withdraw. He cited "circumstances beyond our control, but more importantly, circumstances beyond Nick's control." He said he's legally and ethically prohibited from explaining why.Sources tell Deadline that money is the likely reason. If true, the estate funding that was reportedly paying for Nick's elite defense has apparently ended.Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene stepped in immediately. She has nineteen years of experience. She learned last night that she'd be taking over. She had about thirty seconds to introduce herself to Nick before the hearing began.Nick appeared in court with a shaved head, wearing a brown jail jumpsuit. He sat behind glass, shackled at the wrists and ankles. When the judge asked if he agreed to postpone his arraignment to February 23rd, he said, "Uh, yeah, I agree with your honor on that." Those were nearly his only words.Jackson told reporters his team had devoted "every waking hour" to investigating the case for three weeks. He said they examined it "top to bottom, back to front." He said they're convinced Nick is not guilty under California law. But now that work transfers to the public defender's office.DA Nathan Hochman responded that prosecutors are "fully confident" a jury will convict Nick of the "brutal murders" of Rob and Michele Reiner.The arraignment is February 23rd. The insanity defense is still expected. But the resources behind it just changed dramatically.#NickReiner #AlanJackson #RobReiner #TrueCrimeToday #MicheleReiner #PublicDefender #MurderCase #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #ReinerCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Steering a company from nascent idea to multi-million dollar revenue is rarely a smooth ride. Often, it's a journey fraught with uncertainty, tough decisions, and the internal battles no one sees. For Nathan, the guiding hand through much of this journey has been his coach, Dan Putt. As a co-founder of Reboot, Dan has spent years working with leaders and executives, helping them navigate growth without losing themselves in the process. In this episode, Dan shares not only his unique coaching philosophy - which emphasizes a deep, inside-out understanding of oneself, but also practical tools and frameworks that address common founder sticking points like imposter syndrome, the fear of conflict, and the allure of the "magic bullet" solution.

(and Netflix's Owning Manhattan) to talk about using media as a real business advantage—not a vanity play.Jessica shares how she treats Instagram like a curated portfolio and TikTok like a playground, why she focuses on the work (not follower counts), and how visibility turns into inbound clients—from Starbucks conversations to serious listings. They dig into the mindset shift from “private” to “public,” controlling your narrative without oversharing, and why hiring help (video/editing) can be the fastest way for founders to scale content without losing focus.They also touch on her immigrant family grit, what she learned from her parents, and what to expect in Owning Manhattan Season 2.

In this powerhouse episode of the Think Millions Podcast, host Dr. Alexa D'Agostino sits down with Timothy Rexius, CEO of Rexius Nutrition, Iron Heaven Gyms, and Omaha Protein Popcorn- for a raw, tactical, deep dive on building multi-million-dollar brands without outside funding, scaling through people, and turning “failure data” into breakout growth. From raising six kids while running three companies to a 20,000% relaunch after a day-one tradeshow flop, this convo is a masterclass in grit, systems, and brand clarity.Keys Parts of the Conversation:1:06 – 3:35 | Family as Fuel & Early Involvement How six kids became an asset in brand-building, softening the approach at events, and sparking product ideas—plus the “seven shared calendars” system that keeps life and business in sync.3:35 – 6:09 | Why Protein Popcorn Exists Solving a real problem at home: getting kids and older adults to consume protein. 600 batches later, candy-coated protein popcorn is born.13:18 – 14:06 | Be Somebody's Something Tim's mentor line: “Don't try to be everybody's everything—be somebody's something.” Staying in your lane beats carrying every product under the sun.17:25 – 18:12 | Tradeshow Faceplant → Breakout Pivot Day one: zero foot traffic. A Hershey's exec delivers brutal feedback; they add the words “Protein Popcorn,” and lines form for two straight days.18:54 – 19:10 | The 20,000% Relaunch Wife and daughters redesign the brand for the real buyer. New look, mascot, color system—demand explodes across 14 countries.21:53 – 23:31 | Scaling Through People, Not Heroics Selling stores to staff, franchising to insiders, and moving to a chairman role while partners run SOPs and day-to-day.23:45 – 24:18 | Permission to Innovate Empowering a 21-year-old operator to “step on my toes.” Merging Gen-Z ideas with seasoned strategy.24:30 – 25:23 | Owner Mindset at Every Level Profit sharing, equity for key team members (including his former nanny turned assistant), and why 200 “owner eyes” beat one founder.Great Quotes from the Podcast:“If I'm going to be broke, I might as well be happy and broke—not miserable and broke.”“Don't try to be everybody's everything—be somebody's something.”“The ability to shake a hand and cultivate a relationship creates repeat business you can't buy with ads.”“Our first expo day nobody stopped at the booth. Day two, one banner change to ‘Protein Popcorn' and there were thousands in line.”“Women make 80% of buying decisions—I was marketing to me. That had to change.”“I look at every employee as a long-term interview for a future partnership.”“When you give people ownership and profit sharing, you get 200 sets of owner-eyes on the business.”“The popcorn started as a way to trick my kids into getting protein—then the market told us we'd built a brand.”“Ego holds you in the operator seat. Let others lead so you can build the brand, the systems, and the future.”Resources:All Episodes: Think Millions PodcastQuestions or Comments: support@thynkconsultinggroup.comAlexa's Instagram: @dralexadagostinoAlexa's Website: AlexaD'Agostino.comBook a Discovery Call with Alexa: Discovery CallThynkFuel Agency: ThynkFuelMedia.com
