Wil peaks with Enga Stanfield, co-owner of multiple Mattenga's Pizzeria in San Antonio and Head of Community at Owner.com. Enga, an Iranian-born former engineer with no prior restaurant experience, shares how she and her husband Matt transitioned from engineering to restaurant ownership in 2014 by purchasing a struggling pizzeria, initially losing significant money due to inexperience. Through relentless grassroots marketing, obsessive cost control, data-driven location selection, and frugal self-funded growth, they turned the business around, expanded to multiple locations, achieved consistent strong sales growth, and built a profitable family-oriented operation that prioritizes community giving, strong systems, and work-life balance while preparing for potential franchising.10 Takeaways No experience required, but commitment is essential: Enga and Matt had zero restaurant or business background yet succeeded through sheer passion, grit, and a willingness to learn from expensive mistakes. Obscurity is the biggest enemy: The real problem isn't perfect recipes or discounts, it's getting known. Aggressive, consistent marketing (guerrilla tactics, drop-offs, parades, costumes) is the owner's primary job. Babysit numbers, not people: Obsess over P&L, labor percentages, food costs, and sales forecasting—small percentage improvements on large volumes create massive profit impact. Hustle beats excuses: External factors (bad location, competition like Chick-fil-A) are irrelevant; successful owners take full responsibility and aggressively pursue customers. Give to receive: Donating hundreds of pizzas monthly, supporting schools with spirit nights, and community involvement builds loyalty and drives long-term growth. Location math matters: Use free tools like USPS Every Door Direct Mail to analyze household density, income levels, and demographics to ensure a site can support target sales and profit margins. Break growth into simple math: Reverse-engineer sales goals into daily orders needed, then create targeted marketing plans to acquire and retain those customers. Build systems and people, not just rockstars: Strong operational systems and deliberate team development allow scalability. Doing $15/hour tasks yourself prevents building a real business. Negotiate everything: Leases, vendor prices, contracts: always ask, build in exit protections, and never sign desperate deals. Walking away power is crucial. Profitability enables generosity: Running a tight, systematic, profitable operation allows you to pay people well, give back to the community, and maintain a thriving family life.
How To Find a Cofounder Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. A founding team includes someone who is building it and someone who is selling it. It's important that the startup has two founders. Here are some steps to find a cofounder for your startup. Figure out which role the founder is taking and look for a cofounder to fill the other. The key to finding and recruiting the co-founder is to show how the business will be successful. This typically starts with a customer or market ready to pay for the product to be produced. Show the key insight you have into the market and how you can use it to create a successful business. Validate with customers who are ready to buy the product and place them on a waitlist. Sign up customers who are ready to pay and provide the service manually till you have an automated solution. Gain agreement on the goals of the company for the coming three years. Negotiate compensation based on what each founder is bringing to the table. Use the negotiation process to test out the other's skills. Go on joint sales calls to see how each performs. Work on the product development to see what progress can be made. Consider these steps in finding a cofounder. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

If you're feeling a little queasy about the pace of change, you're not alone. AI is accelerating competition in almost every market, and it's making some business models feel irrelevant almost overnight. In this episode of Built to Sell Radio, John Warrillow talks with Ryan O'Leary, who saw a similar wave coming in payments when Shopify started bundling merchant processing into its plans. O'Leary chose to sell before the shift crushed margins, structuring a deal that put most of his cash in hand up front. In this episode, you discover how to • Decide whether to raise capital, hire a CEO, roll equity, or sell • Spot the early signals that a platform is about to "bundle" you into irrelevance • Run a tight sale process with a short target list and still generate multiple LOIs fast • Negotiate for deal structure that protects you, not just a higher multiple • Limit earnout risk by keeping the earnout short and the rules hard to game • Separate emotion from the numbers so you can negotiate clean • Keep your team aligned through the transition by sharing upside, including the earnout

Most renters have no idea they're overpaying by thousands of dollars a year, and it's not their fault. The system is designed so you never realize how much leverage you actually have.In this episode, I break down why renters hold the power right now, how to negotiate smarter, and why the current market dynamic is giving tenants the upper hand for the first time in years.But this conversation goes bigger than rent.It's about quality of life, safety, freedom, and why people are leaving cities like New York, LA, and London for places like Miami, Dubai, and Singapore.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why renters are overpaying, and how the market secretly favors tenants right now- The exact strategy to save $1,000+ on your next lease- How to negotiate directly with decision-makers (and what to say)- Why high-earners are leaving NYC and LA despite big salaries- Why Miami, Dubai, and Singapore are the top global destinations for opportunity and safety- The three things every human wants: freedom, safety, and economic opportunity- How shifting cities can radically change your quality of lifeLike this episode?

The holidays are here, the cards are swiped, and a lot of you are sitting there doing the math you've been avoiding all year. In this 12 Days of Giving episode, Daniela shares the story of a single mom in Richmond, Virginia who was one denial away from a full breakdown: new apartment, two little girls, $10K in credit card debt, and zero clue how to keep from getting evicted again. This isn't a cute budgeting story. This is “I'm at the edge of the cliff and I don't know what the hell to do next.” Daniela walks us through how she sat down with this mom and started at the absolute basics: what a budget actually is, what savings actually means, and why pulling your credit report is non-negotiable even when you're terrified of what you'll see. When they pulled it, the truth hit: multiple cards, sky-high APRs, and $10K of debt that her paycheck could not support.But here's where it flips. Instead of shame and “you're bad with money,” they built a plan: lay out every card, every APR, every balance. Tackle the ones that give you the biggest win fastest. Call the creditors and tell the damn truth about what's going on. Negotiate. Get the APR down. Build short-term and long-term wins so she's not just surviving the month, she's rebuilding her life. And they did one more powerful thing most people skip: they brought her two little girls into the conversation and turned money into a game, not a threat. We also dig into the emotional side: what it feels like to be at the edge versus already over it, why people wait until the last possible second to ask for help, and how involving your kids can actually speed up your own mindset shift. Daniela talks about using vision boards, values, and real talk to anchor someone before you ever touch the spreadsheets. Because if your head is still in “I'll never get out of this,” no plan will save you. Then we turn the camera on you. If you're approaching the edge, standing on it, or already hanging off financially, this episode is your wake-up call. Daniela doesn't sugar-coat it: it's never too late, but it is on you. No one is coming to fix this for you. Small wins, boring habits, and asking for help early is how you change the story. I close the episode by calling out exactly what we all know: you just spent a ton of money on the holidays, you're feeling it, and now is the moment to move—not “next year,” not “when things calm down.”This is one of our 12 Days of Giving episodes running December 12–23, where we highlight real stories, real mess, and real ways forward.

Send us a textYour momentum isn't dying because you're lazy; it's leaking away through low standards that drain energy and crush self-belief. We unpack how messy environments, weak boundaries, and daily self-negotiations quietly tax your attention, slow your decisions, and keep your goals out of reach. Then we introduce STAND, a simple, powerful framework to upgrade your energy and rebuild trust in your word.We start by naming the most common leaks: clutter that steals focus, yeses that crowd your calendar, and inner bargains that talk you out of the hard, important actions. From there, we walk through STAND step by step. See leaks by tracking when your energy dips and why. Take responsibility so you stop outsourcing outcomes to luck or others. Act fast to compress timelines and beat hesitation. Negotiate never so your promises don't get traded for comfort. Defend daily by locking in rituals that protect what matters.Throughout the conversation, you'll hear practical examples you can apply today: how to reset a workspace in minutes, how to give a clean no without guilt, and how to reduce decision fatigue with simple rules. You'll also get a weekend challenge designed to raise one standard in a small, specific way that produces outsized returns. The goal isn't to hustle harder; it's to plug the holes that waste your willpower and to let consistent action rebuild belief.If you're ready to stop leaking energy and start keeping promises to yourself, press play and try the STAND method with us.

Just because you're tough doesn't mean you can't be strategic. In this episode, I walk you through exactly when I get lenient on deals—and when I hold firm.I share real examples of consulting projects where the key to successful leasing wasn't about lowering rent across the board—it was about understanding demand. From turning down a bank on Main Street to repositioning office tenants during a supply glut, I unpack how I coach landlords to evaluate each space individually, not the center as a whole. Plus, I explain how knowing your market, asking the right questions, and recognizing “needle-in-a-haystack” spaces can give you the confidence to stand your ground—or close smarter when supply is working against you.If you're struggling to lease tough spaces or worried about holding firm on rent, this episode gives you the playbook to stay smart, flexible, and profitable.

Two of US President Donald Trump's closest envoys, Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, today met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin used the meeting to warn that Russia was not planning for war with Ukraine's European backers but was 'ready' for that eventuality. Also on the programme: we debate Justice Secretary David Lammy proposes scrapping jury trials for some cases; and we hear about the snake-handling church that's inspired a new piece of music.
The holidays are meant to be a season of joy, generosity, and gratitude. Yet for many families, the celebrations come with a heavy dose of financial stress—stress that lingers long after the decorations are packed away. Our desire to bless others often leads to spending more than we planned. But it doesn't have to be that way.Recently, we sat down with Neile Simon, Certified Credit Counselor and Director of Strategic Partnerships at Christian Credit Counselors, to talk about how families can give meaningfully, stay within their means, and refocus on what Christmas is truly about.Creating a Realistic Holiday PlanMost people enter the holiday season with the best of intentions. We want to show love, bless others, and create special memories. But somewhere along the way, those intentions can derail.Neile explains that a mix of cultural pressures makes overspending almost effortless: holiday sales, credit card offers at checkout, “buy now, pay later” deals, and social media's endless highlight reels. Before long, the drive to be generous morphs into the belief that we must spend more to prove how much we care.And the consequences last far beyond December—financial stress, increased debt, and a January filled with regret rather than joy. The good news: overspending isn't inevitable. Neile suggests starting early and planning intentionally.1. Decide what you can truly afford. Account for all holiday expenses—gifts, food, travel, entertainment, and even small traditions that add up.2. Set a total spending limit. Let this number guide every decision throughout the season.3. Use cash or debit when possible. “When the money's gone, you're done—and that's okay,” Neile says. This simple boundary protects you from impulse spending.4. If using credit cards, treat them as tools—not the enemy. Used wisely, they can help you track your spending. The key is to stay disciplined and avoid taking on debt you can't comfortably repay.Ultimately, a budget is not a restriction—it's a path to freedom. It helps you enjoy the season without dreading the bill that arrives in January.Meaningful Giving Without OverspendingGenerosity isn't measured by price tags. In fact, the most meaningful gifts are often the simplest.Neile encourages families to focus on personal, relational giving:Handwritten notesHomemade treatsShared experiencesThoughtful, small gifts with clear intentionHer own family keeps gift-giving fun by setting spending limits and doing a white-elephant exchange. “It takes the pressure off,” she says, “and turns gift-giving into shared laughter and memory-making.”When togetherness becomes the priority over possessions, Christmas becomes both more joyful and more affordable.If You're Already in Debt, There's HopeFor families already carrying debt, Christmas can feel like a tug-of-war between generosity and financial reality. Neile offers this encouragement: give within your means—even if it means scaling back.Why? Because responsible giving protects your finances, your peace, and your future.“Think of it this way,” Neile says. “A relaxed, stress-free January is far better than stressing out after overspending in December.”Scaling back isn't failure—it's stewardship. And it models wisdom and faithfulness for your children.Refocusing on the True Meaning of ChristmasAmid the lights, the gifts, and the traditions, it's easy to lose sight of the heart of Christmas.“Christmas is a celebration of Jesus—the greatest gift ever given,” Neile reminds us. When our hearts are centered on Him, love and grace become the focus. Giving within our means allows us to celebrate joyfully, gratefully, and peacefully.And when we spend with purpose—anchored in Christ rather than consumerism—we experience a kind of joy that lasts long after the season ends.Need Help With Debt?If financial stress is weighing you down, Christian Credit Counselors can help.

On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm an 84-year-old retired veteran, and my wife is 81. We have a $375,000 mortgage on a $3.2–$3.4 million home, a $140,000 portfolio, a 529 with $55,000, about $100,000 in gold jewelry, $40,000 in Social Security benefits, and $15,000 in credit card debt. We're running out of money and need to tap our home equity. The VA offered a $400,000 loan, but would a HELOC or a reverse mortgage be better? Who can help us make the right decision?We're receiving a $60,000 inheritance and have $10,000 in credit card debt. Should we use some of the inheritance to pay it off, and what should we do with the rest? My husband is disabled, and we're in our 60s—so is investing any of it in the stock market wise? And should we tithe on the inheritance?I'm 65, still working full-time as a caregiver, and have about $900,000 in my 401(k). When should I start Social Security—now or when I retire in May 2026? And how do I know if I have enough saved for retirement, since I'm debt-free and have fairly basic expenses?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Christian Credit CounselorsHome Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement by Harlan J.

Negotiation expert and keynote speaker Tony Perzow joins us to examine why most persuasion relies on fear, and how shifting to what he calls “magnetism” changes everything. Drawing from decades, training teams at Apple, Red Bull, and Rolls-Royce, Tony shows how standard tactics often fuel scarcity and ego instead of connection. He also shares the personal collapse that reshaped his work, losing nearly everything and rebuilding with a new approach.We look at the mindset behind effective negotiation, why fear drives so much behavior, and how it shows up at work and at home. Tony argues that influence doesn't come from pushing, but from becoming someone others naturally want to agree with. He breaks down his “left road vs. right road” framework, the ego's role in conflict, and how professionals can quickly recognize fear-based thinking. From reframing persuasion as a human practice to simple ways to choose love over fear,Tony offers grounded, accessible guidance. Whether you're litigating, managing workplace tension, or aiming to communicate with more ease, this episode positions negotiation as a process built on awareness, calmness, and kindness, not scare tactics.
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines civic participation and the impact of welfare systems on society. He critiques the reliance on government aid, arguing it fosters dependency and hinders personal initiative. He analyzes capitalism's complexities, emphasizing that success is influenced by market dynamics rather than just hard work. The importance of thoughtful dialogue in a polarized environment is also highlighted. Ultimately, he calls for a reevaluation of personal and collective responsibilities to create a more informed society.Questions submitted:"With Western society resembling that of an insane asylum, how does one stay motivated to participate? Do you ever have the desire to leave and live on an island beach?""If most of your life was a psychological operation, how would you logically assess the moral and strategic response once it all unravels?""When is it right to speak about an issue""How does the phenomenon of 'working yourself out of a job' fit into a logical capitalist system? A logical *and moral* capitalist system rewards productivity and innovation. A crony capitalist system punishes productivity and innovation. Over my many years of work, I've lost track of how many times I was told 'don't work yourself out of a job' or had bosses steal ideas and even claim work done as their own that was done by another. MAKE IT WORK PHILOSOPHICALLY. The last 'frontier' was not peaceful parenting. That was the second to last frontier. The last frontier is private sector ethics, which is the only path toward a real capitalistic society.""What are your thoughts on meditation? Have you ever done it?""In a world where evil is rewarded and good behavior punished, is evil behavior justified?""I have a philosophical question. How should you measure philosophical principles against real world outcomes? It seems to me there needs to be an objective yardstick to gauge philosophical theories.""A man can do bad things all his like and then do one good deed and they say, he's not so bad, a man can so good things all his life and one day do one bad deed and they say, he's shown his true colours""Does evil exist? As a force? A demonic or satanic spirit that possesses individuals or even groups? As a learned behavior?""Are you gonna answer them?"SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

You can't negotiate the necessary. GOD don't cut deals on Discipline, and HE ain't lowering the price of elevation because you tired. If you want Wealth, Freedom, and Ownership, you gotta pay full cost—sacrifice, consistency, and execution on Days when nobody's clapping. This business game is spiritual first: your mindset is the altar, your habits are the offering, and your results are the testimony. Generational wealth ain't something you hope for,... it's something you become worthy of. When you accept that the Necessary is Non-Negotiable, you stop running from the process and start Respecting the Path. Every seed you plant in obedience becomes a harvest your family will inherit. This is covenant work. This is legacy work. And once you embrace the grind GOD aligned for you, you walk like someone who knows their abundance was already written.
