In this episode of The Jason Cavness Experience, Jason sits down with Scott Strong, founder of Strong Fiber Systems, to talk about building a service-first business in the telecom industry and why sales discipline and customer service still matter in a world obsessed with automation. Scott shares his journey into entrepreneurship, how he built Strong Fiber Systems by focusing on relationships and trust, and why doing the unscalable work, personal outreach, follow-ups, and real conversations creates a lasting competitive advantage. He explains the difference between motivation and discipline in sales, how strong habits outperform hype, and why customer service is becoming a lost art. The conversation also covers leadership, networking without forcing outcomes, using AI without losing the human element, and what it really takes to build a business you can stand behind long term. This episode is packed with practical insight for founders, operators, and sales leaders building service-based companies. Topics Discussed • Scott's path into telecom and entrepreneurship • Building Strong Fiber Systems from the ground up • Sales discipline vs motivation • Why doing the unscalable work still wins • Customer service as a true differentiator • Picking up the phone instead of hiding behind email • Using AI to support sales without removing humanity • Networking with authenticity • Leadership, habits, and long-term thinking Support CavnessHR CavnessHR is building an AI-native HR system for small businesses with 49 or fewer employees combining automation with a dedicated HR Business Partner.

Ever looked at the art world and thought: how does any of this actually work?I read How to Collect Art (2024) by Magnus Resch to figure out whether a normal person can buy a single great piece… and whether art is actually a good investment.Resch approaches the art market like an economist: data, power structures, and the brutal reality of gatekeepers. The big theme? The art world isn't a free market, it's a pyramid. A tiny number of fairs, galleries, curators, and institutions sit at the top… and they decide what becomes valuable.In this review, I cover:Why the “mysterious” art market feels so closed-offThe alpha / beta / gamma / delta pyramid Resch uses to explain status and accessWhy “art as an investment” is mostly a trap (unless you're playing at the top end)Why the book made me want to buy art for meaning, not resale00:00 – Intro: why I picked this book00:21 – The empty wall problem (why I want art)00:58 – What I hoped the book would solve02:12 – The book's style: blue quotes + companion “artist” book03:22 – Resch's economist approach to art04:09 – The real driver of value: representation & institutions05:11 – The “35-year-old” cliff edge for artists06:12 – The harsh truth: most art has near-zero resale value06:52 – Art index vs S&P 500 (and what happens with broader data)09:11 – When art can be an investment (and the price floor)10:24 – The better frame: be a patron, not an investor10:52 – The parts I skipped: emails, CVs, auction house logistics12:22 – “Networking and Instagram” (useful but irritating)13:26 – The collector mantra: buy what you love14:13 – The pyramid: alpha / beta / gamma / delta18:35 – NFTs + digital art gets a mention19:11 – Did it help me buy art?

This week, Jason is joined by Olivia Ferney, better known online as Travel with Livii, one of the fastest growing voices in the travel creator space! Olivia has built a loyal audience by doing something many luxury and event experts don't do - giving honest realistic breakdowns and unfiltered discussions of what travel actually costs and the many nuances of luxury travel. Olivia shares how the most powerful, wealthiest and famous travelers are traveling with full transparency to the price tags and all the crazy requests. She has been going viral the last six months or so for her transparency and was just covered in full by the New York Times, CMO of Top Tier Travel. Olivia dives into the behind-the-scenes of her viral videos reenacting outrageous client calls, what truly makes a great client for Top Tier Travel, and what's included in their Concierge Plus program. She breaks down the types of clients she won't take on, why she refuses influencer negotiations, and the most common scams people attempt to pull. Olivia also shares how close she becomes with Concierge Plus clients, how she navigates NDAs while still telling compelling stories, and the realities of the Top Tier Travel business model. She discusses where she actually recommends people go skiing, where the most expensive travel really happens, and the most outrageous request she's received to date. Olivia opens up about her commitment to transparency with clients, her perspective on the private jet industry, her role as a mediator, what she's learned from working with ultra-wealthy travelers, her goals for the business and earnings heading into 2026, and the practical travel advice she gives everyone—luxury or not. Olivia reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

In this Real Estate Rundown episode, Owen and Ted get into the practical side of AI—how tools like ChatGPT can help you spot your “zone of genius” (and your blind spots) so you can stop doing the work you secretly hate and start delegating like an adult. They share a solid prompt passed along from their buddy Colin Schwartz, compare “nice” AI vs “tell me the truth” AI, and talk about why unfiltered feedback can be a cheat code for business growth.They also drop a super practical landlord/flipper nugget: a cellular-based temp/humidity/power monitoring device you can use in vacant properties during winter so you don't find out you lost heat after your pipes explode.Finally, they preview an upcoming episode with local Omaha investor Jason Woodward (and his son) and tease a conversation around “alternative flipping”—ways to flip assets that aren't houses (boats, cars, furniture, etc.).If you got value from this one:Follow/subscribe to REIA Radio, share this episode with a friend, and comment what your zone of genius is (or the thing you're finally going to stop doing).

T&A: Tens And Aces. An AP Blackjack podcast. Turning the tables from Las Vegas to Local Casinos
In this installment of our little experiment in imaginary radio, something that we like to call the Tens and Aces Podcast, we sit down with an advantage player who goes simply by “X” — a former athlete turned blackjack assassin whose journey from lacrosse fields to casino felt is anything but ordinary. What starts as a girlfriend‑sparked nudge (“you need direction”) turns into a full‑blown descent into the rabbit hole of Blackjack, Card Counting, and Advantage Play.X breaks down his obsessive year‑long training regimen — three to four hours a day with nothing but notebooks, fake bankrolls, and rage‑inducing variance — before ever stepping foot back into a casino. From a $2,200 starting bankroll to nearly 700 hours and over $50K in earnings, he recounts the highs, the brutal lows, and the psychological warfare of staying sane while the math does whatever the hell it wants.The conversation hits everything: emotional tilt, ploppy chaos, surrender stigma, insurance debates, back‑offs, sweaty shops, graveyard shifts, networking, traveling play, and the bizarre cast of characters who populate casino life — including rappers, degenerates, and the occasional rent‑money hero.It's raw, funny, honest, and packed with real‑world insight into what it actually takes to grind out an edge in a casino ecosystem designed to chew you up. If you love stories from the trenches of Blackjack, Casino culture, and Advantage Play, listen up, because we're about to give you some T&A! Key Topics Covered• X's “superhero origin story” in Blackjack• Transition from athlete to Advantage Player• Training for card counting without software• Building a bankroll from $2,200• Emotional control, tilt, and mental toughness• Understanding variance and staying below EV• First back‑offs and navigating sweaty casinos• Playing graveyard vs. day shifts• Networking through BJA, regional chats, and AP communities• Using cover, table selection, and shift rotation• Ploppy behavior: insurance myths, surrender stigma, “bus card” drama• Stories from Vegas, rent‑money gamblers, and celebrity encounters• The importance of scouting, penetration, and dealer speed• Why promotions and side plays matter• Long‑term goals: hitting $100K and expanding beyond counting Highlights & Quotes• “I wasn't stepping foot in a casino unless I was a threat.”• “Losing fake money in my bedroom pissed me off more than it should have.”• “Ploppies keep the lights on — but man, they make it hard.”• “My girlfriend made me a $10K trophy. Then I lost $17K in two weeks.”• “First rule of Fight Club: don't yell ‘Mike AP!' at the table.”Key Words:Blackjack, Card Counting, Casino Advantage Play, AP Blackjack, Counting Cards, Blackjack Apprenticeship, Back‑offs, Casino Stories, Blackjack Podcast, Advantage Player Lifestyle, EV, Variance, Penetration, Double Deck, Shoe Game, Blackjack Strategy

In this cozy holiday episode of Linux Out Loud, Wendy, Nate, and Bill juggle Christmas chaos, retro joy, and serious tech lessons. Nate shares the excitement of finally getting his Commodore 64 Ultimate under the tree and rebuilding vintage Christmas trains, while Bill tells a powerful story about stepping into a network left behind after a colleague's passing—and why planning password and account access for loved ones matters more than any gadget. From Synology NAS upgrades and “you can never have too much storage” energy, to Fedora gaming projects, Bazite and Nobara, and the realities of traveling as a digital nomad, the crew covers a lot of nerd ground. They also dig into Home Assistant dashboards, smart bulbs and Christmas displays, securing IoT networks, and why Linux printing is still a little spicy even as it improves. Whether you're here for legacy planning, blinking LEDs, or just some winter-flavored banter, this episode wraps it all up with community love and future-topic teases.

This one is packed with real-world examples, role-plays, and strategies you can use immediately.
Networking não é sobre cartões de visita. É sobre criar pontos e manter o capital relacional em circulação. No palco do FROTA Summit 2025, Pedro Waengertner traz uma nova perspectiva sobre como cultivar conexões genuínas em tempos de excesso de tecnologia e escassez de atenção.Mesmo sendo introvertido, Pedro construiu sua trajetória com base em redes diversas e mostra, com histórias reais, como o valor das conexões está mais em como nos relacionamos do que em quantos contatos temos. Ele fala sobre o poder dos laços fracos, a importância de combinar mundos diferentes e a arte de ser útil antes de ser lembrado.Também discutimos:Por que a automação esvazia o valor das conexões digitaisComo pequenas ações criam grandes oportunidades no futuroE por que manter sua rede ativa é tão importante quanto atualizar o currículoSe você acha que networking é forçado, ou não sabe por onde começar, este episódio pode mudar sua forma de enxergar (e cultivar) relações profissionais.Dá o play e vem com a gente!

Jay and Ashley are back nearly 200 episodes after their first appearance, and they don't sugarcoat what the last few years have looked like: raising a big family, trying to run a business together, and realizing how fast “life stuff” can spill into “work stuff.”They get real about what's working right now in the market—Zillow Preferred leads, staying in front of past clients, and being consistent even when motivation is nowhere to be found.Then the conversation pivots into mentorship and networking: how asking for a simple coffee (or cigar) can change your entire trajectory, plus a “failing forward” segment that turns a painful multifamily experience into a legit lesson.
