There is a thing going on out there that we have to talk about. It's making me crazy. I'm pretty sure it's making you crazy too.  And that's this business of all these money decisionmakers, whether they're foundations or elected officials or government agencies, you name it. They're all singing the same song. “There's no money right now. There's not enough money.” Whatever the refrain is, it's all the same basic thing. You know what? It's time to call BS on that. And reset this conversation. Because the fact is there is money. Now there's a lot to say about that money, but there's money. As nonprofit leaders, we've got to shift this around. Because the way the conversation is going right now is not serving us, and it's not serving the people we serve. In this episode, we share:The four main shifts we must make to reset the conversation around moneyThe real truth about money in the current climateHow decisionmakers got pulled into a scarcity mentality, and how nonprofit leaders can disrupt that Why decisonmakers' short-term thinking is hurting you, and how to shift them into longer-term thinkingHow to teach decisionmakers to view your services as a strategic investment that produces a solid returnMessaging strategies to show ROI even when you can't cite a specific dollar value of the returnHelp spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast.  Thanks!!

Your marketing ROI is declining, and the traditional playbook isn't fixing it. This creates an unprecedented opportunity for businesses ready to evolve their approach.After analysing hundreds of marketing strategies for businesses generating £5-50m turnover, we've identified the five critical disconnects causing ROI to flatline: misaligned metrics, broken targeting, outdated channel mix, risk aversion, and ignoring AI search.The businesses fixing these issues aren't those with the biggest budgets — they're those making strategic adjustments that compound into transformative results.In this episode, Charlie and Dale reveal:The hidden disconnect between marketing metrics and revenue (including why tracking share of voice whilst the board wants ARR creates dangerous blind spots)How Finisterre's attempt to "go broader" nearly killed their growth — and why narrowing your focus expands your potentialWhy spreading budget across every channel is like "betting £1 on every horse" and guarantees you'll lose moneyThe 80/20 framework for balancing proven revenue generators with essential experimentation• How AI search is condensing the customer journey (users now make 3-5 ChatGPT queries before a single Google search)Charlie and Dale also share real-world examples, including how Vita Coco dominated its niche before expanding, and why power users are actually searching Google MORE (13 times daily) while organic traffic declines.As Charlie explains in the pod:"If your bottom line goal is generating a certain number of leads or making a certain amount of revenue, then understanding which marketing channels are actually driving those leads or driving that revenue — and which percentage of your marketing budget is experimental — that's where most businesses fall down."If you're ready to fix the disconnects undermining your marketing performance whilst your competitors cling to yesterday's playbook, this episode provides your complete roadmap for reversing ROI decline.Get the show notes:https://exposureninja.com/podcast/dojo-62/Listen to these Dojo episodes next:What is AI Search?

What if everything you thought you knew about fitness was filtered through marketing hype rather than science?After experimenting with countless diet trends across my 20s and 30s, from Atkins to Paleo to keto and intermittent fasting, I've learned firsthand that what matters isn't finding the "one perfect approach" but building sustainable systems that work specifically for you.The fitness world has become saturated with influencers making bold but oversimplified claims. If someone tells you there's only "one true way" to achieve fitness goals, your skepticism radar should go on high alert.In this bonus episode from my recent appearance on the With Passion podcast hosted by Josh Taft, we discuss how to make sense of the barage of information from the fitness industry, why strength training is absolutely essential for longevity, and how to approach your health and fitness journey with a sustainable, evidence-based mindset.Discover why most fitness advice is wrong, how to navigate conflicting information, and why muscle truly is your retirement plan, especially after 40.Main Takeaways:Why being skeptical of fitness trends and guru claims can save your health and moneyThe shocking truth about why 95% of diets fail and what successful people do differentlyHow muscle mass is literally your insurance policy against aging and diseaseWhy strength training beats cardio for fat loss, longevity, and metabolic healthThe psychology behind sustainable goal setting and why most people try to change too much at onceHow to use "seasons" of focused effort followed by maintenance phases for long-term successWhy consistency with basics beats perfection with complex protocolsEpisode Resources:Check out Josh's podcast With PassionSupport the show

What do control, perfectionism, and money have in common? For many of us, they're deeply rooted in childhood wounds, and they're the very blocks standing between us and our manifestations.In this heartfelt Q&A episode, Lacy and Jessica respond to powerful community questions that crack open the real energetics behind love, money, motherhood, and glass ceilings. Whether you're navigating burnout, trying to call in more income, or craving peace while juggling life's many demands, this conversation offers guidance, tools, and expansion to help you move forward. You'll hear personal revelations from Lacy and Jessica about their own inner child programming around control; how it shows up in work, relationships, and even wedding planning. And they offer expansive, grounded advice to two listeners: one manifesting full-time motherhood and another trying to break through a financial glass ceiling while living paycheck to paycheck.This episode is for anyone working through the TBM Money Challenge, or anyone asking: “Why do I still feel stuck?” Because often, the block isn't what you think—it's what you've normalized. So tune in for deep permission to slow down, reassess, and come back into alignment with what's truly authentic for you.

Hey there blogging lady. Welcome back to the Boss Lady Bloggers Podcast! I'm Genasys — blogging coach, website designer, and your biggest business cheerleader.Today we're digging into the ONE shift that changes everything: how to structure your blog like a business from day one — not after more traffic, not once you “feel ready,” but right now. If you've been stuck in the post-and-pray strategy, burning out while barely seeing results, this episode is your wake-up call.

I gave this keynote at the NAC Success Resources event in 2019 — and I went deep on the real shit that holds people back. It's not lack of resources. It's not bad luck. It's entitlement, insecurity, and the need to impress others instead of doing what actually makes you happy.If you've ever felt like you're stuck or not moving fast enough, this episode is a wake-up call. I break down the 5 core pieces of value that I believe will unlock your path to success — and most of them have nothing to do with business tactics and everything to do with mindset.Whether you're just starting or scaling, this talk will push you to get brutally honest with yourself and start executing.

Want to keep more of what you earn and build long-term security for yourself and your team? Retirement planning may sound overwhelming — but with the right strategy, it can reduce your taxes, attract better employees, and set you up for the future. In this episode, I talk with Matt Ruttenberg, co-owner and Director of Business Development at Life, Inc. Retirement Services. Matt helps businesses, including bars and restaurants, figure out how to set up retirement plans that actually work for them. In today's episode:Why IRAs aren't always the best choice for bar ownersWhat makes a 401(k) more flexible — and how it can save you moneyThe tax credits that are available right now (they can be big!) How you can set rules around who qualifies — so you're not giving money to short-term staff What to expect when you set one up (it doesn't take as long as you think) Listen now and take the guesswork out of retirement planning for good. Learn more about Life, Inc.

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9This powerful verse is often quoted when we talk about generosity, and rightly so. It shows us that generosity isn't just a financial principle—it's rooted in the very heart of the Gospel. Today, Dr. Nathan W. Harris joins us to explore that connection more deeply.Dr. Nathan W. Harris is the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at The University of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama. He is also the author of A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace.What Is Gospel Generosity?Gospel generosity is giving rooted in the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Generosity is not merely a virtue for the Christian life but a cheerful disposition that springs forth from the gospel. This kind of generosity arises from new life in Christ, is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and reflects the Father's model of grace throughout creation.At its core, gospel generosity isn't just about giving—it's about proclaiming and portraying Christ's saving work in our lives. It signifies a radical transformation of a believer's heart and mind, leading to joyful stewardship of resources in service to God's kingdom.Beyond the Tithe: A Higher CallingOne of the most debated topics surrounding generosity is the concept of tithing. Are Christians called to tithe, or is there a greater expectation?While tithing—giving 10%—is not explicitly required for Christians, the gospel calls us to something far greater. We aren't obligated to give; instead, Christians have an incredible gospel opportunity. We are called to live generously, humbly, selflessly, and with the kingdom of God in mind.This perspective reframes giving not as a rule to follow but as an act of grace and worship, rooted in gratitude for what Christ has done.How the Gospel Transforms Our View of MoneyThe gospel transforms our hearts and minds and revolutionizes how we approach money and stewardship. Martin Luther once said:“There are three conversions in one's life—the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the pocketbook.” When we encounter Christ, our hearts are filled with affection for Him, and our minds are set on heavenly things. However, many Christians struggle to surrender their finances to God fully. You can't hold on to Christ while also holding on to your money.A heart transformed by the gospel desires to honor Christ above wealth. A mind renewed by the gospel prioritizes kingdom values over worldly ones. This transformation shapes every aspect of our financial lives, from earning and saving to spending and giving.Living as Stewards of God's ResourcesWhen our hearts and minds are fully surrendered to Christ, our finances naturally follow. Giving becomes not just an obligation but an act of worship and a reflection of the gospel's transforming power.To explore these ideas further, check out Dr. Nathan W. Harris's book,  A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace. This concise guide offers biblical wisdom and practical insights into living a life of joyful, gospel-rooted generosity.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a whole life insurance policy for my mom that we've been paying on for about nine years. I'm wondering if I should just cash it in since we're almost at the full policy amount.What is the best educational investment account to use for my 10 and 8-year-olds when they're ready for college? I've just been saving money in savings accounts.I wanted to ask about the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset - are they still in effect? I'm a firefighter and paramedic who worked in the public service and private sector for 30 years.My wife and I don't have a retirement plan yet. I'm 53 and my wife doesn't work.

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson writing an exposé of the conspiracy and cover-up to hide Joe Biden's cognitive decline is like the Watergate burglars writing a book about Nixon's alleged corruption. The conspiracy and cover-up are coming from inside the house.“A cancer on the Presidency”To most of us who aren't inside the bubble of the Left, the Tapper/Thompson book looks more like a rescue mission than a Mea Culpa. They have a book to sell, and they know who their best and most profitable buyers are - people who read the New Yorker with disposable income who have thrown money at the Democrats for almost a decade, all with the promise that they'd make the bad orange man go away.What I know after a decade of irresponsible fear-mongering is that the “original sin” was the moment the Left, with all of the power, called itself “the resistance,” and with the help of a complicit press corps, went to war on a duly elected president and his supporters.Everything that came after that, up to and including Biden's decision to run, was the result of a ruling class that refused to relinquish power, did not respect the voices of the people, and used everything in the kingdom to systematically dehumanize, demonize, and exile the other half of the country, or anyone who did not go along with them.As part of the resistance after the 2016 election, I should have seen who Trump really was — the guy on Celebrity Apprentice, the real estate playboy we all knew from the 1980s. But in our collective fever dream, we thought he'd somehow been captured and compromised by Putin, and had transformed into an evil fascist, racist, rapist dictator second only to Hitler.We drew a line. We were on this side, and anyone who voted for, was kind to, or associated with anyone on the other side was kicked out of utopia. We owned everything, so we could raise the drawbridge and forget about everyone else. We cultivated a dystopian fear bunker that policed thought and speech and strictly forbade any truth-telling lest it hurt the Democrats and helped Trump.That's all they had left because everything else had failed. So, when a crazed lunatic surfer dude believed he was “saving democracy,” he picked up a gun and tried to shoot Trump. That was proof enough of the damage caused by the once-respected legacy press, and it was their “original sin.”And even after that, a freaked-out, unhinged group of people on TikTok actively call for the assassination of Trump with their “when it happens” and “somebody just do it,” memes.So when James Comey posts a photo of a message in the sand to “86” the 47th president, it takes on a different meaning than just a funny joke. He was, after all, the FBI director, and whatever happened with that other shooter in Butler?Their “original sin” has divided us, polarized us, and worst of all, betrayed our trust far worse than not reporting on the Biden story. Lying about Trump was worse. Making him a supernatural receptacle of all the evil in the world was worse.They're still out there doing it now - like Lawrence O'Donnell, Tim Miller, Rick Wilson, Rachel Maddow — All the President's Media perpetuating the kind of groupthink via deception that got them into this mess.Ten years of pumping hysteria into the veins of Americans, and what do they have to show for it? Nothing. Selling fear worked for a while, until it didn't. After ten years of it, with a new generation coming of age that wasn't plugged into cable news or the legacy media, Americans went looking for normalcy that they somehow found in Donald Trump.All anyone had to do was what I did, and what so many other people did: take a look for ourselves at Trump and MAGA. Once we did that, we'd never trust the media ever again.Follow the MoneyThe reason the excerpt in the New Yorker is about George Clooney is for their target audience. Who else would care? Frontloaded with Clooney's journey to Sudan and subsequent charity work seems designed to signal to the reader that the fate of the Democratic Party wasn't up to some actor past his prime. No, he was important. And for a time, he was.Nothing illustrates the disconnect of today's Democratic Party better than the fundraiser in LA that “shook Clooney to his core” because Joe Biden didn't recognize him. All that money, all that power, all that celebrity, was exactly the wrong message to sell to a beleaguered working class sick of the sight of them.His house in the South of France, his “big movie” for Netflix, his phone call to Julia, and his brush with politics all explain his New York Times op-ed that forced Joe Biden out and put Kamala Harris in. Clooney said that Biden “saved democracy” in 2020 and could save it again by stepping aside.Imagine that kind of hubris to believe Joe Biden had the power to save Democracy and that somewhere deep inside, George Clooney believed he could save it too. What they mean is to save their empire, to preserve their power. This is a public episode.

This week, we're talking about impact investing, which if we're being honest, is a phrase we used to think was reserved for people who call their parents by their first names. Turns out, it's one of the closest things we have to financial resistance (with receipts!).This episode drops on the last Monday of Black History Month 2025, a month that, for once, felt less performative. Not because there wasn't Black history being made, there was, just like there is every day of the year…but because the usual corporate spectacle was dialed down. The hashtags were quieter, the campaigns were fewer, and the message was clear. But Black history isn't something we just look back on, it's something we build. And for more people than ever, that means thinking differently about where our dollars go, not just as consumers but as investors.Here's what we get into:Why politicians keep telling us to “mobilize” but rarely mention moneyThe Target vs. Costco stock story that shows how companies respond when people start moving their moneyThe difference between boycotting as a consumer and influencing as a shareholderHow everyday investors now make up 25% of stock trading and why that mattersWhy ignoring your investments isn't neutral and what it means to be intentional with your financial powerAnd because knowledge without action doesn't change much, we're also talking about real steps you can take. Kiersten shares her experience with Invest for Better Circles, a program that changed how she thinks about money and impact (and made her rethink her own investments in the process). Plus, if you're a Black woman looking for a space to learn about this in community, there's a new cohort designed just for us. Link below.TAKE ACTION:

You don't work for anyone else anymore. You created this freedom for yourself. So why do you sometimes feel like you're resenting your business? Why does taking a day off fill you with guilt instead of relief? Why does "showing up consistently" feel more like a prison than the path to freedom?If you've ever felt trapped by the pressure to show up every single day... if you've ever wondered why running your business feels heavier than your 9-5 ever did... if you've ever thought "I love what I do, but I don't love doing it like THIS" - this episode is for you.Drawing from my own journey (including the wake-up call that changed everything) and real stories from my clients, I'm pulling back the curtain on why traditional "consistency" advice is keeping you stuck and burning you out. More importantly, I'm sharing exactly how to build a business that adapts to you - not the other way around.In this episode, I cover:Why feeling like you can't step away from your business (even when you desperately need to) isn't your faultHow to stop feeling trapped between honouring your wellbeing and making moneyThe one question that transformed my relationship with my businessIf you've been feeling like your business owns you (instead of the other way around), this episode will show you exactly how to change that.LINKS:Join the CCBD WaitlistFollow me on Instagram

Bitcoin is a commodity, not money. At least, that's the argument my guest, Digital Gold Yoda, lays out today as we dive into the revolutionary project that aims to achieve what Satoshi Nakamoto originally envisioned DigitalGold.com. Imagine a network of 100 million nodes running proof-of-stake technology on regular computers—decentralized, efficient, and fair. Digital Gold is not just another cryptocurrency; it's a movement designed to fix the flaws of Bitcoin and build an entirely new monetary system.In this episode:Why Bitcoin became a commodity and not moneyThe three-legged stool that determines intrinsic value: users, computing power, and utilityHow the Proof of Participation model ensures fair distribution and decentralized validationThe 1,000-level game to grow from 10,000 to 100 million usersWhy Digital Gold aims to match Bitcoin's computing power—without burning fossil fuelsHow merchant adoption happens organically in this systemDigital Gold Yoda and I break down the technology, distribution model, and vision behind this revolutionary project. If you're holding crypto dust or curious about what's next in decentralization, this episode is for you.Resources:Download the wallet and join the network: digitalgold.comFollow the Digital Gold project updatesKey Takeaways:“This isn't just another token; this is a chance to get it right, together as a community.”“If we build this, we won't just create value—we'll reintroduce money to the world.”Guest: Digital Gold Yoda, Chief Scientist behind the Digital Gold project.

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9That verse is among the most cited on the subject of generosity…and for good reason. It links generosity with the Gospel. Dr. Nathan Harris joins us to make that connection even stronger.Dr. Nathan Harris is Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at the University of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama. He is also the author of A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace.What Is Gospel Generosity?Gospel generosity is giving rooted in the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Generosity is not merely a virtue for the Christian life but a cheerful disposition that springs forth from the gospel. This kind of generosity arises from new life in Christ, is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and reflects the Father's model of grace throughout creation.At its core, gospel generosity isn't just about giving—it's about proclaiming and portraying Christ's saving work in our lives. It signifies a radical transformation of a believer's heart and mind, leading to joyful stewardship of resources in service to God's kingdom.Beyond the Tithe: A Higher CallingOne of the most debated topics surrounding generosity is the concept of tithing. Are Christians called to tithe, or is there a greater expectation?While tithing—giving 10%—is not explicitly required for Christians, the gospel calls us to something far greater. We aren't obligated to give; instead, Christians have an incredible gospel opportunity. We are called to live generously, humbly, selflessly, and with the kingdom of God in mind.This perspective reframes giving not as a rule to follow but as an act of grace and worship, rooted in gratitude for what Christ has done.How the Gospel Transforms Our View of MoneyThe gospel transforms our hearts and minds and revolutionizes how we approach money and stewardship. Martin Luther once said:“There are three conversions in one's life—the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the pocketbook.”When we encounter Christ, our hearts are filled with affection for Him, and our minds are set on heavenly things. However, many Christians struggle to surrender their finances to God fully. You can't hold on to Christ while also holding on to your money.A heart transformed by the gospel desires to honor Christ above wealth. A mind renewed by the gospel prioritizes kingdom values over worldly ones. This transformation shapes every aspect of our financial lives, from earning and saving to spending and giving.Living as Stewards of God's ResourcesWhen our hearts and minds are fully surrendered to Christ, our finances naturally follow. Giving becomes not just an obligation but an act of worship and a reflection of the gospel's transforming power.To explore these ideas further, check out Dr. Nathan Harris's book, A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace. This concise guide offers biblical wisdom and practical insights into living a life of joyful, gospel-rooted generosity.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:When I went to the bank, they offered me a HELOC (home equity line of credit) with no fees. I don't need it, but I noticed that the credit score they pulled for me was significantly different from the score I see when I check my credit reports online. Why is there such a big difference between the score the bank pulled and the scores I see from consumer credit reporting services?I have about four years left on a 2.9% mortgage with $17,000 remaining. Should I sell some of my gold, which is currently valued at around $2,700 per ounce, to pay off the mortgage entirely and become debt-free? What do you think about that?I used to be into partying and drugs, even selling drugs, which landed me in prison. On September 10, 2021, I gave my life to Jesus Christ, and now I'm clean, sober, and working to rebuild my finances. I have some debts in collections, including a repossessed auto loan, medical bills, and an overdraft. I'm unsure of the exact amounts, but I want to consolidate and start paying them off to honor those debts and move forward. What's the best way to start?I've received calls from my current lender and others about refinancing my mortgage. Last month, I tried applying at a different bank, but they said my credit score needed to be higher. My current interest rate is 7.25%. What are your thoughts on whether I should refinance or wait until my credit score improves?Resources Mentioned:A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace by Dr. Nathan HarrisChristian Credit CounselorsLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
