In this episode of the Industry Spotlight, joining host Sam D'Arc are Travis Siebert, SVP at DealerPay, and Kris Towle, Chief Accounting Officer at Niello Company to discuss why one of the auto industry's oldest processes, collecting cash and checks from parts and service customers, still costs dealerships money, time, and trust. They speak candidly about the safety risk of sending drivers out with cash, why most dealerships never question an outdated process until something goes wrong, and why live phone support, not just software, is what keeps a group this size from ever looking at another vendor. They explain: ◼ Why parts delivery drivers ended up doing accounting work they were never trained for ◼ How a single bounced check could cost a full week of chasing down payment ◼ Why missing cash on a delivery route became an uncomfortable question nobody wanted to ask ◼ Why the switch to mobile payments meant money was in the bank the very next morning ◼ Why Niello Company has never looked at another payments partner since making the switch This episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast is brought to you by DealerPay.

How much was actually saved, where was it spent, and did ordinary Nigerians see meaningful value from the funds that were supposedly freed up?In this episode of the Dr Reju Podcast, we examine the questions surrounding subsidy removal, public spending, accountability, and the growing gap between government promises and the lived reality of Nigerians.Watch the full episode and join the conversation.#DrRejuPodcast #SubsidyRemoval #Nigeria #FuelSubsidy #AccountabilityInGovernance #PublicMoney

Markets remain near record highs, but the technical backdrop is becoming more complex. Strong money flows continue to support asset prices, while a more hawkish Federal Reserve threatens to tighten financial conditions and limit upside potential. Lance Roberts looks at how liquidity, institutional flows, market momentum, and investor sentiment are interacting with Fed policy. We also explore whether technical support levels can withstand higher interest rates, what history suggests when liquidity and monetary policy diverge, and what investors should watch next as markets navigate this critical crossroads.

Have you ever looked at your bank account and thought, "wait, I know I made more than this"? Friend, I have been there. And for a long time, I thought the answer was just to make more money. Turns out, that was not the problem. In this episode, I'm getting honest about something most of us don't want to admit: unassigned money disappears. Not because we're irresponsible, but because money without a job becomes emotionally charged, and emotionally charged money gets spent on whatever feeling shows up first. I'm sharing a personal story in this one that honestly made me laugh at myself, because I found out the hard way what happens when you let impulse do the budgeting for you. (Let's just say a mobile game was involved and leave it at that for now.) If you've ever felt like your income and your bank account are telling two very different stories, this episode is for you. We're talking about what it actually looks like to assign your money with intention before the impulse gets there first.

In the final installment of What's Next?'s three-part anniversary series marking four years since the May 14 Tops mass shooting, the focus shifts from promises to outcomes. The conversation examines whether the investments and commitments made after the tragedy have translated into meaningful change for Buffalo's East Side. Topics include poverty, homeownership, employment, food access, mental health support, and the lasting effects of decades of disinvestment. Community leaders and residents also discuss the need for transparency, accountability, and coordinated efforts to address the systemic challenges facing the community.
SHORT DESCRIPTION New claims of massive federal fraud are shaking Washington as officials and former EPA leadership allege billions in taxpayer dollars were improperly routed through green energy programs. Tara and Roger break down the allegations, the political fallout, and the growing push inside government to recover what was spent. FEATURED STORIES 1. Trump Officials Claim Massive Fraud Potential in Federal Budget Elon Musk, in comments attributed to a conversation with Joe Rogan, is referenced alongside Trump administration officials who argue that eliminating fraud and improper payments could dramatically reduce the federal deficit. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is cited estimating hundreds of billions in potential fraud annually, while Stephen Miller argues the federal budget could be balanced if only properly eligible recipients received payments. 2. EPA Leadership Launches Criminal Referrals Over Green Energy Spending Former EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced multiple criminal referrals following an internal review of Biden-era environmental grant programs. According to the claims discussed, the investigation centers on alleged misuse of funds routed through nonprofit intermediaries. Zeldin says roughly $29 billion in EPA grants have been paused or canceled amid the review. 3. The $2 Billion Stacy Abrams-Linked Grant Raises Questions One of the most controversial examples cited involves a $2 billion grant awarded to a nonprofit tied to former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams. Critics highlighted that the organization reportedly had minimal prior financial activity before receiving federal funding, raising questions about oversight and eligibility standards. 4. “Pass-Through” Nonprofits Under Scrutiny Investigators referenced in the segment describe a network of nonprofit “pass-through” entities allegedly used to distribute federal funds with limited government oversight after initial disbursement. Concerns raised include whether funds were properly tracked once distributed beyond the initial recipient organizations. 5. Allegations of Political Enrichment Through Climate Funding Programs The discussion also focuses on claims that green energy and climate-related funding programs were structured in ways that benefited politically connected organizations and former government officials. Programs under the Inflation Reduction Act are specifically mentioned as part of the funding pipeline under review. 6. Calls to Reclaim Federal Funds Intensify The Trump EPA team is described as attempting to claw back portions of previously distributed grants, referring some cases to the Inspector General and the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. Supporters argue that stronger oversight and rescission of unused funds could help reduce waste and fraud. KEY TAKEAWAYS Allegations of large-scale federal fraud are fueling renewed scrutiny of government spending. EPA grant programs are under investigation for potential misuse and weak oversight. Nonprofit intermediaries are a central focus of concern in how federal funds are distributed. Political debate is intensifying over climate-related spending and accountability. Officials are pushing for recovered funds and expanded investigations. QUOTE OF THE DAY “If only properly eligible recipients received federal dollars, we could balance the budget.” SOCIAL MEDIA TEASER

Most people don't have an income problem. They have a cashflow control problem. In this episode, Curtis May breaks down why money disappears so quickly — even for high-income earners and business owners — and why budgeting alone usually fails. You'll learn: Why most people unknowingly operate from one financial bucket The hidden danger of unmanaged cashflow Why wealthy people use systems instead of budgets How "wealth transfers" quietly drain your income Why liquidity matters more than most people realize The difference between tracking money and controlling money How cashflow mapping creates financial clarity and control Curtis also introduces the concept of: "Tell your money where to go instead of asking where it went." This episode is especially important for: Business owners Families living paycheck-to-paycheck despite good income Professionals with debt and no liquidity Anyone frustrated by financial stress and disorganization If you want to stop reacting to money and start controlling it, this episode is for you.

Despite earlier promises that no taxpayer dollars would go towards the construction of a new massive ballroom at the White House, that may be changing. President Trump isn't asking for the money himself, but several Republican senators now propose sending $1 Billion in taxpayer dollars towards the project in order to help upgrade security.

You've paid off the debt, built the emergency fund, and started investing. So why does having extra money still make you feel weirdly stressed? In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, Shari Rash breaks down what to do with surplus money once you're past financial chaos and into a more stable phase of life. Because when the bills are covered, your savings account is solid, and your 401(k) contributions are happening, the next question gets a lot more complicated: where should your next dollar go? Get the Now What? Money Reset If you've ever felt stuck deciding between saving more cash, funding a Roth IRA, opening a brokerage account, contributing more to your 401(k), or finally spending money on something that makes your life better, this episode is for you. Shari shares her post-chaos money playbook: Protect, Build, Live — a practical system for deciding how to allocate extra money without second-guessing every financial move. You'll learn how to set a cap on your emergency fund, when cash stops being security and starts becoming unassigned money, and why “max everything” is not always the smartest investing strategy. Shari walks through her investing stack for women in this stage of life: get the employer match, fund a Roth IRA, build a taxable brokerage account for flexibility, and then max your 401(k) if it still makes sense for your goals. This episode also unpacks why a brokerage account can be one of the most powerful tools for present-life freedom, especially if you want the option to take a sabbatical, leave a job, change careers, start a business, relocate, or work less before traditional retirement age. And just as importantly, Shari explains why your life should not be funded with leftovers. You'll hear how to create a “Live” bucket for travel, health, support, time-saving services, relationships, learning, and the things that make your life feel like yours. If you've been wondering how to split your money between savings, investing, and actually enjoying your life, this episode gives you a clear framework. Because you are no longer someone who saves whatever is left. You are someone who directs money to build security, freedom, and life all at the same time.

#794 Most entrepreneurs don't have a revenue problem — they have a “where did the money go?” problem. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, host Brien Gearin sits down with Bobby Hoyt — founder of Stellar Brands, CEO of The Bottom Line, and creator behind Millennial Money Man — to unpack why “knowing your numbers” is non-negotiable if you want to build a business that actually pays you. Bobby shares his journey from high school band director to entrepreneur, how a mentor helped him pay off student loans and take the leap, and the hard lessons that come from running your business on “napkin math.” Together, Brien and Bobby dig into why most entrepreneurs get blindsided at tax time, what it really means to have a proactive tax strategy, and how systems like Profit First (and the right bookkeeping/CPA team) can bring clarity, stability, and confidence to your cash flow — so you can grow without hitting the financial “electric fence!” What we discuss with Bobby: + Why entrepreneurs must know their numbers + The danger of “napkin math” finances + Bobby's journey from teacher to CEO + How mentors accelerate business growth + Why revenue doesn't equal personal income + The importance of proactive tax strategy + Common CPA and bookkeeping mistakes + How Profit First stabilizes cash flow + Paying yourself consistently as an owner + Building financial systems that scale with growth Thank you, Bobby!

#795 Most entrepreneurs don't realize that financial structure — not more revenue — is the key to unlocking real freedom. In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, host Brien Gearin and Bobby Hoyt go deeper into how Profit First can transform not just your business finances, but your personal finances and mindset as well. Bobby shares practical examples of using multiple accounts to create clarity, reduce stress, and confidently cover big expenses — from taxes to mortgages to vacations — without guilt or guesswork. They also discuss the shift from scarcity to abundance that comes from truly understanding your numbers, the importance of having the right financial experts on your team, and why bookkeeping and financial education are critical skills for long-term success. Whether you're scaling your business or just getting started, this episode highlights how structure, mentorship, and financial clarity unlock both growth and freedom! What we discuss with Bobby: + Profit First beyond business + Using multiple bank accounts strategically + Eliminating tax-time surprises + Creating financial peace of mind + Applying Profit First to personal finances + Scarcity vs. abundance mindset shift + Rewarding yourself responsibly + Importance of financial mentorship + Why knowing your numbers matters + Bookkeeping as a growth lever Thank you, Bobby!

Welcome to Califraia—the brilliant new term for California's jaw-dropping $250 billion in fraud, waste, and abuse. Yes, you read that right: a quarter TRILLION dollars of taxpayer money flushed down the government toilet. When Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton first dropped this bombshell, it seemed impossible. But after digging into the details—$24 billion in unaccounted homelessness spending, $55 billion in pandemic unemployment fraud, $20 billion more in bogus jobless claims, plus countless scams in CalFresh, Medi-Cal, fake college applications, and the high-speed rail to nowhere—suddenly $250 billion doesn't sound so crazy. One-party rule has created a culture of corruption so deep that even Newsom's own state auditor flagged his administration as "high risk." Meanwhile, Newsom's response? Insults and deflection, as usual. Is anyone surprised California leads the nation in homelessness, poverty, and cost of living while hemorrhaging billions in fraud? What will it take for California voters to demand accountability? Subscribe for more government waste exposés, hit that like button, and let's make #Califraia trend!
The state’s general fund budget is in trouble, as is its transportation budget. Inflation, higher than expected costs, lower than anticipated revenues, state services scheduled to expand. If you listen to KUOW, you’re probably aware of why the state is facing budget shortfalls. This next segment is about a bright spot in the state’s budget: the money generated from the cap and invest system. That’s part of the Climate Commitment Act which voters upheld in 2024. Here’s how it works: The state sets a limited amount of emissions allowed each year by major companies that’s the cap. Companies that emit more than they’re supposed to have to buy an allowance in a state-run auction. The latest auction generated $394 million dollars. The money is supposed to go towards climate investments like air quality monitors, electric vehicle chargers, and public transportation projects. But Governor Ferguson recently proposed using more than half billion dollars of that money to fund another program: The Working Families Tax Credit. It’s a refund that gives money back to low-and-medium income state residents. Meanwhile, Republicans, perhaps seeing an opening with the governor’s proposal, want to use the money to offset utility costs for schools. Environmental groups are already pushing back against the Governor’s proposal. The budget fight has come for this big pot of money and we’re going to hear two perspectives on this issue today. Guests: Todd Myers, Vice President of Research at Washington Policy Center Reuven Carlyle, Founder of Earth Finance, former state senator, and architect of the Climate Commitment Act Relevant Links: Seattle Times: A budget ‘rat hole’?

Paul and Evan get into a conversation about a common question for homeowners: Is it a better investment to put extra money in my house or in my portfolio? Paul talks about why you shouldn't view your home as an investment unless you plan on selling it and moving into a tent. Listen along as these two advisors explain the importance of paying off or improving your home without viewing it as an investing decision. Later in the episode, Paul discusses how Trump is cracking down on corporate ownership of residential housing.

President Trump has announced that the United States has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. This action has sparked concern among Democrats, who are raising alarms about security risks with other countries and the potential impact on the global oil supply. Additionally, Trump is reportedly considering action against Colombia due to concerns about drug trafficking and the possibility of narcotics entering the United States. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. With a new Federal Reserve Chair set to take over next year after Jerome Powell, Moore discusses the state of the economy. He argues that the economy is currently strong and questions Democratic claims about an affordability crisis. New York City is allegedly up to $8 billion that has reportedly gone missing from funds intended to address homelessness. There is speculation that Mayor Eric Adams might skip Zohran Mamdani's inauguration in January. Meanwhile, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has launched a congressional bid, drawing attention for his style, which some say is reminiscent of Mr. Rogers. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. They share some laughs about post-holiday party antics and discuss concerns about safety in New York City, especially with Zohran Mamdani set to be sworn in as mayor in January 2026.

This week on the Retirement Quick Tips podcast, I'm talking about why most Americans never reach financial independence and become wealthy. So far this week, I've talked about the typical path that many Americans take that set them up for failure when it comes to reaching financial independence: Taking on student loan debt (average repayment = $500+ a month for 10+ years) Buying a car (2nd highest expense for young people behind housing. Average monthly car payment for Gen Z today = $577). For many, it's not unusual to carry car payments of $1000 or more. Average credit card debt is $6700 at 23% interest - another few hundred a month in paying it off. Then we come to the biggest expense - housing. The median monthly mortgage payment for U.S. homebuyers today is currently $2,259. That reflects today's higher interest rates and higher home prices. It's not surprising then that the average age of first-time homebuyer is 38. For many of you listening, you bought your first house when you were in your late 20s or early 30s. Today's first time homebuyers are now middle aged.
In this episode of the Successful Stylist Academy Podcast, Ambrosia pulls back the curtain on one of the most confusing parts of running a profitable business as an independent stylist or salon owner: where your money actually goes. Instead of just looking at your bank balance and hoping for the best, she walks you through a simple "waterfall" visual so you can see how every dollar flows through your business, into costs, marketing, overhead, education, and finally: profit. You'll learn realistic percentage benchmarks for each category, the most common money leaks that silently eat into your income, and how to fix them without adding more hours behind the chair. If you've ever felt busy but not truly profitable, this conversation will help you reclaim your confidence, your cash flow, and your long-term freedom.

Think of your business like a waterfall, not just a bank balance. 2. Money flows from the faucet into a series of "glass cups" : direct costs, client acquisition, overhead, growth, and finally profit. 3. When you see each glass clearly, you stop assuming all the money in your bank account is truly yours and start treating it as money with a job. 4. Get clear on your direct costs (COGS) so every bowl of color is profitable. 5. Direct costs include anything you touch, mix, or use on your client: color, lightener, developer, foils, gloves, towels, shampoo, conditioner, cleaning supplies, and even credit card fees. 6. Aim to keep these costs around 10–12% of your total revenue, and know that once you creep toward 15–20%, it is a danger zone and a clear sign you need a price increase. 7. Stop overordering and start pricing services with product usage in mind. 8. Common leaks include buying too much inventory, letting products expire, turning unsold retail into backbar, and never updating prices when suppliers raise theirs. 9. Fix this by using systems or software to track inventory, calculating your cost per scoop or per gram, and doing a quick monthly inventory check so your shelves are lean and intentional, not a graveyard of old product. 10. Track your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) so your marketing actually pays you back. 11. Your CAC includes ads, promos, new client discounts, referral rewards, branding shoots, social media time, website, and booking software that help you get clients in the door. 12. A healthy benchmark is 5–10% of your revenue, and a simple formula is: if you spend $200 on ads and get 5 new clients, your CAC is $40 per client and each client should bring in at least four times that in lifetime value. 13. Prioritize retention over constant hustle for new clients. 14. Common mistakes are chasing visibility without conversion, not tracking where new clients come from, and focusing more on strangers online than on the guests already in your chair. 15. Track first-time versus repeat clients monthly, create a simple referral system with a clear reward, and double down on the platforms and efforts that are actually sending you clients, not just likes. 16. Audit your overhead before it quietly drains your profit. 17. Overhead includes rent or booth rent, utilities, Wi-Fi, insurance, software, accounting, subscriptions, cleaning, payroll taxes, and benefits. 18. Ideally, this lands between 35–45% of your total revenue, and when it creeps toward 50% or higher, you either need to cut costs, raise prices, or both to keep your business from tipping upside down. 19. Be ruthless with subscriptions and intentional with tax planning. 20.Typical leaks are paying for apps and tools you no longer use, overspending on décor or space that does not match your income level, and failing to save ahead for taxes. 21. Quarterly, comb through subscriptions, automate your bookkeeping and reports, and move around 30% of your profit into a separate tax or high-yield savings account so you are not surprised at year-end. 22. Treat education, events, and travel as growth costs; not automatic write-offs. 23. Hair shows, classes, coaching, membership programs, flights, hotels, and meals are powerful when they are strategic, but expensive when they are random. 24. Try to keep these growth costs under about 8–10% of your annual revenue, give every class a clear action plan for how you will turn it into income, and look for ways to turn trips into content, offers, or digital assets you can reuse. 25. Decide how your profit will be divided before it hits your account. 26. Profit is what remains after all buckets are filled, and it is not the same as your paycheck. 27. A sample breakdown is: 30% for taxes, 10% for emergency reserves, 10–15% to reinvest in education, marketing, or tools, and 45–55% to pay yourself, so every dollar has a purpose instead of disappearing. 28. Do a simple money audit and fix just one leak this month. 29. Look at last month's income and write down what you spent on supplies, client acquisition, overhead, and education, then see what was truly left as profit.
