What if everything you've been told about success is true...just not equally true? For generations, women have been given a roadmap to success. Work hard. Earn the degree. Build your expertise. Develop executive presence. Negotiate. Become exceptional. And millions of women have done exactly that. So why do so many still feel like the finish line keeps moving? In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, Dr. Kimberly DeSimone explores a question that has been at the center of her research, teaching, and leadership work for years: What if the problem isn't that women aren't following the roadmap? What if they're following it exactly? Using the metaphor of the classic street game Three-Card Monte (sometimes called Find the Queen), this episode examines why doing everything "right" doesn't always produce the same outcomes for everyone. Drawing on decades of research in organizational psychology, leadership, gender studies, and behavioral science, Kimberly explores how bias often shifts rather than disappears, as women become more qualified, more accomplished, and closer to positions of power. Rather than asking women to become even more exceptional, this episode asks a different question: What if the system keeps changing the rules? This Episode Explores: Why the traditional success roadmap doesn't always produce equal outcomes Why credentials alone aren't enough Adam Grant's discussion of the research on intelligence and likability Meritocracy: aspiration versus reality, and the "Prove-It-Again" bias The motherhood penalty, fatherhood premium, and the “second shift” Casuistic bias and how evaluation criteria quietly change depending on who possesses the qualifications Why exceptional women are often evaluated differently than exceptional men Why recognizing patterns is the first step toward changing systems Mentioned in This Episode: Walking on Broken Glass by Shannon Nutter & Julia Carrion Joan C. Williams' research on "Prove-It-Again" bias The Second Shift by Arlie Hochschild Continue the Conversation! Have you ever felt like the goalposts moved just as you reached them?

The social media giant Meta is reportedly negotiating a massive infrastructure agreement with the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic. This potential deal, valued at up to $10 billion, would involve Meta leasing its extensive data center capacity to help power Anthropic's high-demand AI models. Such a partnership marks a significant strategic shift for Meta, as it explores entering the cloud services market to monetize its heavy investments in hardware. While the two companies are currently competitors in the AI sector, the arrangement would provide Anthropic with essential computing resources while creating a lucrative new revenue stream for Meta beyond traditional advertising. This move follows similar large-scale hardware deals in the industry, highlighting the desperate global need for computational power to sustain modern AI development.

What would you do differently if you stopped worrying about what other people thought?Would you finally ask for the promotion? Speak up in senior leadership meetings? Negotiate your salary? Set the boundary you've been avoiding? Or stop apologizing for taking up space?For so many brilliant, high-performing women in demanding corporate careers, the biggest thingstanding between where they are and where they want to be isn't capability - it's the fear of other people's opinions.In this episode of Breaking Free from the Grind, I unpack why the need for approval quietly keeps talented women playing smaller than they're meant to and the leadership shifts required to stop making career decisions based on potential disapproval - and start leading from self-trust instead.In this episode, I'm diving in to discuss:Why fear of other people's opinions is one of the biggest hidden barriers to senior leadership - and how constantly worrying about being 'too much,' 'too ambitious,' or 'too difficult' keeps brilliant women from asking for what they want, setting boundaries, and fully owning their leadership.The difference between building your career around approval versus alignment—why decisions made to avoid disapproval will always pull you further away from the career and leadership identity you actually want to create.How to stop editing yourself and start leading authentically—including the mindset shift that allows you to let people misunderstand you, trust your own desires, and become the leader you're truly meant to be.If you've been making career decisions based on what your manager, colleagues, or team might think…If you've been shrinking your ambitions, softening your voice, or holding yourself back to make other people more comfortable…This episode will help you stop seeking permission - and start becoming the leader you already know you're capable of being.Next Level™ Leader Quiz: You're smart.

Under this agreement, the hospital offers financial support to help the physician establish their practice within the community. If the physician makes the guaranteed amount under the agreement and continues to practice in the community for the pre-determined duration as established under the agreement (also known as the “forgiveness period”), the hospital will forgive the loan. These agreements are commonly used in communities with a greater need for physicians or specialists, as they help support building their patient base during the early stages.

When cash flow gets tight, most practice owners look at revenue first. But one of the biggest drains on your cash may already be sitting on your shelves. Excess inventory doesn't just take up space—it ties up working capital, increases expiration risk, and quietly chips away at your margins.  In this episode, I break down why inventory management deserves more attention in your financial strategy and share practical ways to manage injectables, retail skincare, and consumables more effectively. Small changes in how you purchase, track, and replenish inventory can have a meaningful impact on your cash reserves and overall profitability.  Buying More Inventory Doesn't Always Save You Money  Bulk discounts can be tempting, but they're not always the best financial decision. Purchasing more product than you can realistically use may lower your cost per unit, but it also locks up cash that could be used for payroll, marketing, or other growth opportunities.  Inventory should support your practice—not compete with it for cash. Before placing a large order, consider your usage rate, seasonality, payment terms, and how quickly that inventory will actually generate revenue.  Every Product Category Needs a Different Strategy  Not all inventory should be managed the same way. Injectables, retail skincare, and everyday consumables each serve a different purpose in your practice and carry different levels of financial risk. Creating category-specific inventory strategies helps improve cash flow, reduce waste, and ensure you're investing in products that support both patient demand and long-term profitability.  Establish inventory par levels for injectables, retail skincare, and consumables  Track inventory turnover and usage by provider  Monitor expiration dates, shrinkage, spoilage, and waste  Assign one team member ownership of inventory reconciliation  Adjust purchasing based on seasonal demand instead of automatic reordering  Negotiate flexible payment terms with vendors whenever possible  Make sure every product on your shelves has a purpose. When you consistently monitor inventory levels and adjust purchasing decisions based on real usage, you free up cash, protect your margins, and create a more efficient operation.  04:00 Managing inventory responsibilities  07:31 Managing Inventory and Cash Flow  11:19 Tracking inventory and usage metrics  15:47 Upselling and Packaging Services  16:52 Managing inventory and pricing strategy Good Inventory Data Leads to Better Financial Decisions  Inventory counts should do more than confirm what's on the shelf. They should tell you how inventory is moving through the practice and whether it's contributing to healthy cash flow.  When you regularly review inventory tracking alongside your financial reports, it's much easier to identify underutilized inventory, margin loss, or products that aren't generating the return you expected. That visibility allows you to make adjustments before small issues become expensive ones.  Cash Should Keep Working for Your Business  As your med spa grows, inventory becomes more than an operational task—it becomes a strategic financial decision. Expanding locations, hiring providers, investing in new technology, or building cash reserves all require liquidity. Every dollar tied up in excess inventory is a dollar that can't be invested elsewhere.  Practices that scale successfully understand how to balance inventory levels with demand. They know what products generate revenue, what products move slowly, and when it's worth negotiating better payment terms instead of purchasing more inventory. Managing inventory with intention doesn't just protect margins—it creates the financial flexibility needed to grow with confidence.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.  Connect with Shannon:  Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/  Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

Ep. 1014. Are you negotiating with your customer... or negotiating with yourself?In this episode I'm talking about Wallet Share—one of the biggest psychological mistakes we salespeople make.Too often, we assume a customer won't buy because we wouldn't. We project our own financial comfort level onto the customer, mistake silence for rejection, and start offering discounts or concessions before the customer has even objected.That's not negotiating with the customer. That's negotiating with yourself.In this episode, you'll learn: What Wallet Share is  Why salespeople talk themselves out of deals  How to stop negotiating from your own budget  Why silence isn't always rejection  How to present numbers with confidence and let the customer decide Whether you're selling cars, real estate, insurance, technology, or any high-ticket product, this sales principle will help you negotiate with more confidence and close more deals.Remember: "It's your obligation to give your customer options. It's their right to say yes or no."Don't negotiate from your wallet. Negotiate from their goals.TEXT ME!Support the show

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Attia Qureshi, a coach and negotiation expert who is co-author, with John Richardson, of Never Settle. There's no shortage of great negotiation advice out there, yet in real conversations with real stakes and real emotions, that advice often fails to turn into action. This book tackles that gap between insight and habit. Attia shares why emotions are not a distraction from negotiation but central to it, why getting clear about what you actually want is harder than it sounds, and how we leave value on the table without realizing it. You'll hear practical stories, from resetting a difficult relationship with a glass of lemonade to expanding the pie in a salary negotiation, plus small daily exercises for building resilience to rejection and learning to say no in a way that strengthens relationships rather than damaging them. If you're looking for practical, doable ways to become a more confident negotiator and influencer, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "You can get more by caring about what the other person needs and building a strong relational foundation." "People are not born amazing negotiators. They develop that skill over time, just like people are not born confident." "You have to practice that small step out in the real world where the stakes are low and build that skill day after day, month after month." "You and I have probably already negotiated half a dozen times today." "When someone gives us something, we want to return the favor." "New studies now show that 90 to 95% of decision-making comes from unconscious emotional processing." "So many of us quit before we even start." "But if we do have a goal and we do prepare for the conversation, our likelihood of success is double." "A good negotiation doesn't always mean getting 'yes' at the end of it." "I always tell my students, people can almost always help you. It depends on if they want to or not."

Send us Fan MailYou finally hear the words you have been waiting for: “We're excited to make you an offer.”Instead of feeling relieved, your stomach drops.You know the negotiation is coming, and you are worried that asking for more could make you look difficult, ungrateful, or too demanding. You may even fear that the employer will withdraw the offer entirely.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I break down why negotiating job offers feels so intimidating for mid-career professionals and how to advocate for your value without damaging trust with a recruiter or hiring manager.For many professionals, fear of negotiation comes from three places. You are afraid the offer is fragile. You are worried the organization will label you as a difficult employee before you even begin. Or imposter syndrome is convincing you that you are lucky to have received the offer at all.These fears can cause you to accept too quickly, negotiate emotionally, or avoid the conversation entirely.I explain how to replace that fear with a clear, evidence-based salary negotiation strategy. You will learn when to negotiate, what information strengthens your counteroffer, and how to keep the conversation professional and collaborative.I also share five mistakes to avoid during a job offer negotiation. These include negotiating before receiving a formal offer, accepting immediately, explaining your personal expenses, threatening to walk away, and lying about competing opportunities.Your employer does not determine your compensation based on your mortgage, childcare costs, or other financial obligations. A strong counteroffer must focus on the value you bring to the organization.You will hear practical language you can use when presenting a counteroffer, along with examples of credible evidence such as market salary data, leadership experience, specialized expertise, geographic compensation differences, and the full scope of the position.We also look beyond base salary. A job offer includes more than the number on your paycheck. Total compensation may include bonuses, paid time off, flexible work arrangements, professional development funding, retirement contributions, benefits, retention bonuses, and opportunities for future advancement.By the end of this episode, you will have a more confident and strategic approach to negotiating your next job offer.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why mid-career professionals often hesitate to negotiate a job offerHow fear of losing the offer can weaken your negotiating positionWhy imposter syndrome makes qualified candidates accept less than they deserveWhen you have the most leverage during the hiring processFive job offer negotiation mistakes that can damage your credibilityHow to write and present a professional counterofferWhat evidence to use when asking for a higher salaryHow to negotiate benefits, flexibility, paid time off, and professional developmentHow to evaluate bonus structures and total compensationHow to determine whether a good job offer could become a better oneHow to reduce the likelihood of an offer being rescindedWhy honesty and integrity are essential during salary negotiationA professional negotiation is not an ultimatum. It is a business conversation about the value you bring, the responsibilities you will assume, and the compensation you require to reach a fair agreement.You do not need to become aggressive to advocate for yourself. You need to be prepared, credible, and willing to have the conversation.Listen to this episode before accepting your next job offer so you can negotiate with greater confidence, protect your professional reputation, and make a decision that supports your career goals and long-term earning potential.Subscribe to The Mid-Career GPS Podcast for more strategies to help you navigate your job search, position yourself for promotion, strengthen your leadership presence, and build a career you love.Remember, how you SHOW UP matters.Support the showIf this episode resonated with you and you want more support in how you SHOW UP for your career and life, there are two ways we can work together.Learn more about my SHOW UP Leadership Lab, my monthly membership program, at https://www.johnneral.com/showupIf you would like to learn more about how I can help you as your leadership and career coach, visit https://www.johnneral.com/workwithme.Get John's free weekly leadership and career newsletter at https://www.johnneral.com/the-mid-career-gps-newsletterOther ways we can connect:Connect with John on LinkedIn here.Get John's books on Amazon here.  Follow John on Instagram @johnneralcoaching. Subscribe to John's YouTube Channel here.  Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.This podcast is listed in Feedspot's Top 90 Best Executive Career Podcasts.https://podcast.feedspot.com/executive_career_podcasts/

Michael Vorenberg recounts how, following Lincoln's assassination, William T. Sherman met Joseph Johnston at Bennett Place to negotiate a surrender. Sherman offered terms more generous than Grant's, including allowing Southerners to keep weapons in armories to prevent guerrilla warfare. However, the Washington cabinet rejected these terms as too lenient. (10)1865 RICHMOND

Revenue means nothing if hidden fees are draining your profit. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down credit card processing fees and why business owners need to understand exactly where their money is going. Let's be real… If your business is bringing in strong revenue… But you never look at your merchant statement… Never review your processing rates… Never question your provider… And never audit your fees… You may be leaking profit every single day. In this episode, you'll learn: Why credit card processing fees can quietly destroy your margins How every swipe affects your true bottom line Why business owners must understand their merchant statements How auditing, negotiating, and switching providers can help protect profit The truth is simple: You worked too hard for that revenue to give it away blindly. Every percentage point matters. Every hidden fee matters. Every chargeback matters. Every merchant statement tells a story. High-level operators do not ignore the small leaks. They audit the numbers. They question the contracts. They negotiate better terms. They protect their margins. Because plugging a profit leak does not require more sales. It simply requires better financial awareness. Audit the statement. Negotiate the rate. Protect the cash. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Whether you love it or hate it, negotiating with decisionmakers is part of the job of a nonprofit leader.  You have to negotiate with funders, contracting partners, policymakers, and more.  Like most things, negotiation is a lot more enjoyable when you get good at it.  The secret of those who love negotiating is they've learned the keys to success, and developed the skills to use them well. But there's another piece. The reason a lot of folks have trouble with negotiation is not that the skills are so hard to learn. It's that there tends to be a lot of emotional freight around negotiating. To get great at negotiating, we also have to rewire some of the most common beliefs about negotiation that are getting in our way, and to claim our power in the process. In today's episode, we'll tackle all of that, and show you how you can rapidly improve your negotiation skills and success rate starting today.   In this episode, we share:The two most powerful ingredients for a successful negotiationThe most common mistake that will rob you of your negotiating powerThe three beliefs that will block your success The most important questions to answer before negotiation beginsHow to make a successful counterofferHow to know when to say no to a dealIf you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I'd be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.Thanks! 

In this episode of the InspirED Podcast, Andrea De La Cerda explores why so many women struggle with negotiation and why the challenge has less to do with confidence than with lifelong conditioning. She explains how women are often taught to prioritize likability over self-advocacy, making it difficult to negotiate compensation, pricing, boundaries, and opportunities. Andrea reframes negotiation as a conversation about alignment rather than confrontation and shares practical strategies to communicate value with greater clarity, confidence, and authority. Whether you're negotiating your salary, setting business rates, or advocating for your role, this episode offers actionable insights to help you stop shrinking and start leading....CHAPTERS00:00 Why Women Hesitate to Negotiate 02:12 The Conditioning Behind Self-Advocacy 05:04 Why Likability Feels Safer Than Respect 07:46 The Hidden Cost of Staying Quiet 10:18 Negotiation Is About Alignment, Not Conflict 12:30 Four Practical Ways to Start Negotiating 16:42 Building Confidence Through Self-Advocacy 19:03 The Long-Term Impact of Speaking Up...RESOURCES ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Business Audit⁠TAG ANDREA ON INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@andreadlc_coach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...CONNECT WITH KANDULA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kandula Blogs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. . .ABOUT ANDREA DE LA CERDAAndrea De La Cerda is a highly accomplished communications professional with over 25 years of experience in the fields of advertising, communications and marketing.

Women are asking to be paid better and promoted but we're also getting "no" more often than men. What gives?The problem isn't that women can't negotiate. The problem is that we're negotiating the wrong way—playing by rules that were never built for us.So what's the right way? Surprisingly, it starts with an internal orientation rather than an external one.Today, I'm walking you through the three core negotiation skills, which happen to be the ones you're already using every day.And then I'm diving deep into the first step of the sovereign framework: Vote For Yourself.

There are conflicting reports the United States and Iran are preparing for talks in Doha, aimed at building on a fragile ceasefire and negotiating a broader agreement covering Iran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz. The diplomacy comes as Israeli strikes continue in southern Lebanon, despite a U-S-backed framework agreement that Hezbollah has again rejected.

Parenting is one of life's most important negotiations—balancing guidance with independence, discipline with compassion, and structure with flexibility. Yet in today's fast-paced world, many parents struggle to create a peaceful home while raising confident and resilient children. In this empowering episode of The Art of Feminine Negotiation, Cindy Watson sits down with Teresa Angeles to explore How Parents Can Negotiate Peace, Purpose, and Resilience at Home. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience as a Montessori-certified educator, homeschool parent of six, and founder of Montessori Families, Teresa shares heart-centered strategies that help parents build stronger connections, foster independence, and support their children in reaching their fullest potential. Tune in for practical insights on conscious parenting, family harmony, and creating a home environment where both parents and children can flourish.   In this episode you will discover:   Why concentration is the first objective for young children? What trigger's us to be impatient or angry? How can parents understand more about the connection between the child's environments? The choices and options for them and their emotional regulation? What impact does shifting from a control-based dynamic to a collaboration-based partnership have on trust, communication, and connection within the family? What is one Montessori inspired negotiation that parents can start practicing today?

If you've taken time away from your career and you're wondering how to come back without explaining the gap or apologizing for your time off, this episode is for you. Caroline spent 17 years at one of the Big Four firms before hitting full-on burnout. After years of being passed over for promotions and navigating a system that forced competition over collaboration, she woke up one day and thought, "I can't do this anymore." She resigned. Took two years away. Moved countries. Completely reset her life. Then she had to figure out how to come back. This wasn't a standard return-to-work story. Caroline used a strengths assessment to identify her transferable value, named exactly what she wanted instead of apologizing for the gap, turned down the first offer that didn't fit, and ended up with a role at a mid-size entrepreneurial company working three days a week, 24 hours split across her schedule. This episode unpacks how to return to work after burnout and a career break, why your transferable skills matter more than your job titles, and how Caroline negotiated her way into flexible part-time work that fit both her home life and her work life. What you'll learn: How to translate years of corporate experience into a compelling value proposition after a career break Why year 8, 13, or 18 at the same company often becomes a breaking point (and how to spot it before you hit it) How to use a strengths assessment to rebuild confidence and articulate your transferable skills Why stating exactly what you want works better than apologizing for your time away How to negotiate flexible part-time work even when the first offer doesn't fit   Our book, Happen To Your Career: An Unconventional Approach To Career Change and Meaningful Work, is now available on audiobook!

Since Donald Trump returned to the Presidency in 2025, the US has become increasingly isolationist. It has pulled out of the Paris climate agreement and the IPCC, left the World Health Organisation, as well as a whole host of other international organisations and agencies. So, when President Trump leaves the White House, will the US be able to rebuild trust on the international stage? This week on Cleaning Up, former US Secretary of State and Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry sits down with Michael Liebreich and reflects on some of the defining diplomatic efforts of his career, from negotiating the Iran nuclear deal to helping secure the Paris Climate Agreement. Secretary Kerry explains how years of relationship-building and behind the scenes diplomacy helped bring Iran to the negotiating table and why he believes the original nuclear agreement succeeded in limiting Iran's nuclear programme. He also shares his frustration at what he sees as the dismantling of agreements and relationships that took years to build, and the challenge of restoring trust in US leadership on the global stage.  Secretary Kerry also shares his perspective on working with China, the importance of international cooperation, and the role diplomacy still has to play. They also discuss rebuilding trust in US leadership, and the shifting balance between the US and China in clean energy. Topics Include: How the Obama administration negotiated limits on Iran's nuclear programme The diplomacy behind the Paris Climate Agreement The meaning of "common but differentiated" in climate diplomacy Lessons from Kyoto, Paris and Dubai on international climate agreements Why engaging adversaries matters more than isolating them How can the U.S. rebuild trust on a global stage?

Historians are reportedly scrambling.After thousands of years of wars, empires, diplomacy, sanctions, military campaigns, and failed peace efforts, Donald Trump may have become the first person in human history to successfully negotiate lasting peace with terrorists.Or at least that's the story.This Satire Saturday episode examines what happens when Americans are expected to support major agreements before they've actually seen the details. Chad explores the strange reversal of a political principle conservatives once championed: read it before you approve it.Along the way he tackles presidential ego, foreign policy, media narratives, expert culture, and why asking questions should never be considered disloyal.Because whether it's a house, a car, a contract, or an international agreement, common sense says you read the fine print first.Host: Chad LawShow: Common Sense with Chad LawFormat: Satire SaturdayCHAPTERS 00:00 Cold Open – The Greatest Diplomatic Achievement in Human History01:28 Trump Solves Terrorism02:20 Read the Deal First03:00 The Pelosi Comparison04:00 Why Conservatives Used to Read the Fine Print04:45 Challenging Experts vs Turning Off Your Brain05:00 The Ego Question05:55 Historians React to Trump's Breakthrough06:40 Ancient Civilizations Missed the Obvious07:20 Maybe Trump Is Right07:50 Trust But Verify08:30 Closing Thoughts on Common Sense and AccountabilityCategory: News Commentary / Politics / SatireEpisode Type: Satire SaturdayCopyright: © 2026 Chad Law.

John Hardie notes that Jared Kushner and U.S. envoys have frequently visited Moscow to negotiate an end to the Ukraine conflict. Putin uses phone calls to flatter Trump and promote the idea that Russia is dominating the battlefield. The administration pressures Ukraine to concede Donbas, despite the military defense holding. (10)1892

Edmund Fitton-Brown notes that Russia and China view a ceasefire as beneficial for weakening U.S. influence and entrenching Iranian power. Experts argue the Islamic Republic will never negotiate away its revolutionary pillars, including its militias and nuclear shield. The deal provides a rest period for Iran to rearm for future assaults. (16)

In this solo episode, host Alex Pardo gives a candid update on Dan's journey to buy his first self-storage facility — a deal that had strong market demographics, favorable bank financing, and real value-add upside, until one buried spreadsheet assumption changed everything. This episode is a real-world lesson in self-storage underwriting, revenue ramp-up timelines, and what it actually costs to miss a detail in your deal filter. If you're working toward your first storage deal and want to understand how to stress-test your numbers before it's too late, this episode will save you from making the same costly mistake Dan made.   You'll Learn How To: Understand why storage revenue doesn't move like a light switch after acquisition Identify the ramp-up period tab in your deal filter and how to use it correctly Calculate how many net move-ins per month is realistic for your market Stress-test your debt service coverage ratio before presenting a deal to a bank Negotiate from a shoulder-to-shoulder position with sellers when deals need restructuring Recognize when a deal that looks good on paper is missing a critical timeline assumption Surround yourself with a community that can catch what your spreadsheet can't   What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:00] Dan's deal looked solid until one buried assumption flipped everything [0:32] Alex introduces Season 2 and Dan's journey from unemployed to first-time storage buyer [1:09] Why Dan wasn't excited when he finally got under contract — and what that reveals [1:45] Why celebrating each step matters even when you've been burned before [2:06] The market fundamentals Dan liked: demographics, income, population growth [2:31] The bank terms that made the deal attractive — 5.29% fixed for 5 years or 5.99% for 10 [3:05] A cautionary tale: a well-known investor who lost $15 million when rates adjusted on a $70M multifamily deal [4:13] Why Alex jumped on an impromptu Zoom to review Dan's underwriting spreadsheet [4:33] How Storage Wins community member Casey McKillop saved $100,000 on his first offer [6:02] The specific tab Dan wasn't reading correctly — net move-ins and the ramp-up period [7:07] The real issue: Dan assumed revenue would jump from $170K to $210K overnight [7:51] It would take Dan 10 months to reach profitability — and he wasn't prepared to fund it [8:09] The bank pulled out after reviewing the deal more closely [8:59] How to explain debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to sellers and why 1.25–1.3 matters [10:14] The lesson: growth comes from adversity, and Dan won't make this mistake again   Who This Episode Is For: First-time storage investors preparing to make their first offer Investors who have been under contract before and had deals fall through Anyone underwriting a value-add storage deal and projecting a quick revenue bump Buyers who haven't stress-tested their debt service coverage ratio Entrepreneurs who know the numbers but need a second set of eyes on their assumptions Storage investors trying to understand how ramp-up timelines affect deal viability   Why You Should Listen: Dan's deal had everything going for it on the surface — strong demographics, committed bank financing, and a clear path to raising rents. But one overlooked tab in the deal filter spreadsheet showed that revenue wouldn't jump overnight. It would take ten months to reach profitability, and Dan hadn't budgeted for that gap. That single assumption blew up the DSCR, the bank walked, and a deal that looked ready to close came apart fast. This episode isn't about what went wrong. It's about what you can learn before it happens to you. Alex walks through the exact mistake — projecting revenue as a light switch rather than a ramp — and explains why having a community to stress-test your deal before you go under contract is worth more than almost anything else in this business. The most expensive education is experience. But it doesn't have to be yours. Dan learned this lesson so you don't have to.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Storage Wins Website: https://www.storagewins.com Book a Discovery Call: https://www.storagewins.com/call Storage Wins Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/storagewins Instagram: @alexpardo25 YouTube: Storage Wins   If this episode hit home, share it with someone who's currently underwriting a self-storage deal or about to make their first offer.

Serhii Plokhy concludes that the crisis ended with a secret deal, but Fidel Castro was outraged, having advocated for a pre-emptive nuclear strike. Anastas Mikoyan was forced to negotiate the removal of tactical nukes while his wife was dying in Moscow. The Soviet military felt deeply humiliated by the public withdrawal. Plokhy warns that modern threats like cyber warfare and a lack of fear among current leaders make the world more dangerous today than in 1962. He emphasizes the "human factor"—the risk of a subordinate acting independently—as the ultimate danger in nuclear brinkmanship. (8)1959
