Carly Stagge left corporate finance at JP Morgan and did $1 million in assignment fees her first full year in Denver. She explains why her company double closes every deal now, and how transactional funding moved their average fee from $17,500 to $25,500 in a single month. She also covers what a double close does that an assignment cannot, including the ability to renegotiate price with the seller, and why assignment fee laws in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio are pushing wholesalers toward it.

Juan Camilo Montaña @juancamillos es un empresario colombiano que lleva más de veinte años haciendo algo que parece difícil de explicar: convertir relaciones en oportunidades extraordinarias. Se fue a China con poco dinero y sin hablar mandarín, construyó desde cero una empresa de comercio exterior, vendió desde patas de pollo hasta obras de arte y terminó convirtiéndose en una pieza clave para llevar el legado de Fernando Botero a algunos de los lugares más importantes del mundo. Ha vendido cerca de 200 obras del Maestro por más de 150 millones de dólares y, en el camino, ha construido relaciones personales con decenas de billonarios y algunas de las familias empresariales más influyentes del planeta. Pero Juan Camilo dice que su verdadero negocio no es el arte: es enriquecer la vida de las personas. En esta conversación hablamos de tomar oportunidades para las que no estás preparado, de aprender a pedir lo imposible, de lo que descubres sobre el dinero cuando convives con quienes ya lo tienen todo y, sobre todo, de por qué el capital relacional puede terminar siendo mucho más valioso que el capital financiero.Por favor ayúdame y sigue Cracks Podcast en YouTube aquí.“El capital relacional termina generando capital financiero, pero el capital financiero rara vez genera capital relacional.”- Juan Camilo Montaña @juancamillosComparte esta frase en TwitterEste episodio es presentado por Aeroméxico, la aerolínea más puntual del mundo y por Ford, la marca de autos que te da la certeza de que tienes la ingeniería, la tecnología y el respaldo para avanzar.Qué puedes aprender hoyCómo construir capital relacional desde cero Cómo vender obras de un millón de dólares Cómo detectar oportunidades de negocio en lo que todos los demás descartan Cómo ganarte la confianza de billonarios sin convertirte en un aduladorCómo diseñar una experiencia inolvidable para alguien que ya tiene todo el dinero del planeta*El año pasado tomé más de 70 vuelos con Aeroméxico.Cuando viajas tanto como yo, hay algo que se vuelve absolutamente crítico: la puntualidad.Para mí, cumplir mi palabra significa llegar a tiempo.Aeroméxico fue reconocida por segundo año consecutivo como la aerolínea más puntual del mundo, según el On-Time Performance Review 2025 de Cirium.Estamos hablando de 90% de puntualidad en casi 190 mil vuelos, superando incluso a aerolíneas como Qatar.En una industria donde mantener más de 85% ya es difícil, esto no es casualidad.Es operación, disciplina y excelencia.Y para quienes vivimos viajando, eso significa confianza para seguir avanzando.Conoce más en cracks.la/aeromexico*Hay un momento muy particular antes de tomar una gran decisión.Ese instante en el que sabes que estás listo… pero aún no has dado el paso.Ford llama a ese momento Ready, Set, Ford.Es la confianza que necesitas antes de acelerar:la certeza de que tienes la ingeniería, la tecnología y el respaldo para avanzar.Ya sea que estés construyendo un negocio, explorando nuevos caminos o simplemente buscando sentir la emoción de conducir, Ford diseña vehículos pensados para acompañarte en cada desafío.Ready, Set, Ford.Conoce más en cracks.la/fordDime qué piensas del episodio.

Women have been told for years that they need to negotiate more—but what if that isn't the real problem? In this episode, Nicole welcomes negotiation consultant, Harvard research fellow, and founder of Moon Negotiation, Joan Moon, to unpack what the research actually says about women and negotiation. Together, they challenge outdated myths, explore the impact of gender bias at the bargaining table, and share practical strategies that help women advocate for themselves without abandoning who they are. From salary conversations to flexible work arrangements and everyday communication, this conversation reveals that negotiation isn't about becoming more aggressive—it's about becoming more strategic.  In This Episode Nicole and Joan Discuss: Why the idea that women are "bad negotiators" is a myth unsupported by research. How gender bias—not lack of skill—often influences negotiation outcomes. Why women excel when negotiating for others but face different expectations when advocating for themselves. The power of the win-win approach and how to frame requests around shared success. How asking better questions leads to stronger negotiation outcomes, and why listening is often a negotiator's greatest advantage. The importance of uncovering the other person's underlying interests instead of making assumptions. How to negotiate non-salary benefits like flexibility, time, and professional support. Practical strategies for performance reviews, raises, and promotion conversations. Common negotiation mistakes women make—and how to avoid them. Together, these insights offer a practical roadmap for approaching negotiation with confidence, clarity, and a win-win mindset.  Thank you to our sponsors!

a16z Managing Partner and Head of Global Partnerships Jen Kha joins MTS hosts Theo Jaffee and Sophia Dew to discuss a16z's Machine Age Fund and the investment thesis behind rebuilding the physical infrastructure that powers AI. Jen explains why chips, networking, memory, cooling, data centers, and other parts of the physical computing stack are becoming investable again after decades in which software captured much of the industry's attention. As AI demand pushes existing infrastructure to its limits, she explains why a16z created a dedicated fund and why hardware founders are increasingly rethinking the stack from first principles. They also discuss the global race to adopt AI, what hardware startups need beyond capital, the backlash against data centers in the U.S., and why experienced systems builders are returning to entrepreneurship as a new generation of infrastructure gets built.

Ben Horowitz, Martin Casado, Raghu Raghuram, and Erik Torenberg discuss the launch of a16z's new Machine Age Fund and the infrastructure buildout behind AI, from chips, memory, and networking to power, cooling, and data centers. Why a dedicated fund now? The group argues that the bottleneck in AI is increasingly shifting from the models themselves to everything beneath them. Hyperscaler CapEx is surging, critical components are booked years in advance, and each new generation of reasoning and agents requires dramatically more compute. They unpack why this cycle looks different from previous infrastructure booms and how AI is turning problems once constrained by engineering into problems that can increasingly be attacked with capital and compute. They also explore where the next generation of infrastructure companies could emerge, why founders are returning to hard technical problems across hardware and systems, and what it will take to rebuild the computing stack for the Machine Age.

Networking can quietly outperform almost any ad campaign but only if you approach it with structure, intention, and consistency. Dr. Ivan Misner, founder and Chief Visionary Officer of BNI, the world's largest business networking organization, reveals how a proven referral system helped members generate over $27 billion in reported business over the last year, and how you can apply the same principles to turn casual connections into a reliable pipeline of high-quality leads. Dr. Misner explains why networking is not about showing up and pitching everyone in the room, but about teaching others exactly how to refer to you. You'll hear how BNI's weekly, highly structured meetings help small business owners turn casual connections into predictable referrals, why the “sweet spot” of around eight hours per week of networking can produce 60–70% (or more) of your business, and how to use every touchpoint from thank-you notes to one-on-ones, as part of a deliberate referral system instead of random busyness. We also dig into the mindset and habits that make networking work for real people, not just extroverts. Ivan shares why introverts can actually excel at networking by listening more than they talk, the simple questions that start meaningful business relationships, and how BNI's visitor hosts help newcomers avoid feeling like “a wallflower in the corner.” You'll learn why networking is a marathon, not a sprint, and how to stay consistent long enough for others to truly know, like, and trust you. Beyond tactics, Ivan talks about scaling a business from “garage to global” while avoiding the “curse of complexity,” the tendency to keep adding systems, rules, and features until growth slows down. He introduces the idea of working in your “flame” instead of your “wax” so you stay energized and effective as your business grows. You'll also hear his perspective on building an intentional legacy, living your values, and making sure your life's “summing up” reflects the impact you actually want to have. https://youtu.be/ghbAwvdGhw4?si=hbmtcpVfSIgssMR8 If you're tired of cold outreach, inconsistent leads, or feeling like you're networking “by accident,” this episode will show you how to turn relationship-building into a repeatable, referral-driven growth engine. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of how to structure your time, choose the right groups (BNI, chambers of commerce, service clubs, and more), and build a network that feeds your business for years to come. Quotes: “Networking is a contact sport. You've got to get belly to belly with people. You've got to go out there and connect with people.” “We want to change the way the world does business and have them focus on helping each other to build lifelong referrals.” “The more complicated you make things, the worse it's going to get. Feature creep and the curse of complexity will kill your growth.” Contact Details: Turn Connections Into Opportunities: Join BNI Today Discover Dr. Misner's Insights on His Official Website Connect with Dr. Ivan Misner: The Father of Modern Networking on LinkedIn Discover Business Growth Strategies: Follow Dr. Ivan Misner on Facebook Follow Dr. Ivan Misner on Instagram for More Networking Tips Transform the Way you Network by Following Dr. Ivan Misner on X

“We are now competing in conversation with someone's feed.”Connecting with others requires more than knowing what to say. The signals we send through our body language, the questions we ask, and even where we position ourselves can shape how others experience a conversation. In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, behavioral researcher and author of Cues and Captivate, Vanessa Van Edwards joins Matt Abrahams to explore the subtle cues that make communication more engaging. She shares strategies for navigating networking events, sparking more meaningful conversations, and signaling the warmth and competence that shape charisma and connection.Takeaways:Connection starts before you speak. Visible palms, eye contact, positioning, and other nonverbal cues can signal warmth and openness, shaping how others experience an interaction from the start.Better conversations spark curiosity. Moving beyond routine small talk with engaging questions, surprising stories, and genuine enthusiasm can make interactions more memorable and meaningful.Activity:Create a conversational feed. Start a note on your phone and collect three things from your week—a surprising moment, an interesting observation, or a small win. Bring one into your next networking event or meeting as “conversational confetti” instead of defaulting to routine small talk.Printable Expanded Takeaways & ActivitiesEpisode Reference Links:Vanessa Van EdwardsVanessa's Books: Cues / CaptivateEp.301 Trust at First Sight: Create More Meaningful Connections Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:37) - Why Your Hands Matter (02:20) - Networking With Confidence (05:34) - Make Small Talk More Engaging (09:03) - The Science of Charisma (13:11) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

Join the Millionaire University AI Mastermind at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MillionaireUniversity.com/AI #1052 Former corporate lawyer turned creative entrepreneur, Shinah Chang shares the real (and refreshingly honest) journey of building a business that actually feels aligned. In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Shinah breaks down how she went from a risk-averse, straight-line “traditional success” path to bootstrapping a calligraphy brand — first through custom client work (weddings, luxury events, brand activations), then by shifting into teaching and scalable online courses. Shinah talks about the mindset shift from hobbyist to business owner, how to market a premium creative service, why you don't need to be “years ahead” to teach, and what it looked like to scale to nearly $1M in revenue during the pandemic — only to step back, reset, and rebuild a leaner business with more freedom. If you've ever wondered whether entrepreneurship will really make you happier — or just bring your old patterns with you — this conversation is for you! (Original Air Date - 12/24/25) What we discuss with Shinah: + Corporate lawyer burnout + Leaving with no plan + Discovering calligraphy as an outlet + Bootstrapping creative income + Crooked Calligraphy niche + Landing premium clients + Networking over viral marketing + Teaching before feeling “ready” + Scaling with online courses + Redefining success and alignment Thank you, Shinah!

Fraudish welcomes guest Kathy Chambers, connected through LinkedIn, to discuss storytelling as a driver of change and effective marketing in cyber and fraud. Kathy shares her path from radio/TV degrees and 10+ years as a TV news producer to University of Florida media director, then pivoting during COVID to ITProTV, where she hosted 250+ audit episodes and later the Certified Ethical Hacker series, falling in love with cybersecurity's “drama” and later its protective mission. She describes producing a cybersecurity show, quickly booking major industry names, and networking through conferences like Wireless Hacking Fest. They discuss how stories—not statistics—stick in presentations, fraud, and cyber marketing, criticizing generic “AI-powered” messaging and advocating people-centered narratives, even via scenarios when privacy blocks details. Kathy explains building client trust, her focus on helping small-to-medium businesses.

Stop Setting Goals. Start Setting Floors.“I want to post more.”“I want to follow up more.”“I want to network more.”“I want to make more money.”Those sound like goals, but they are also incredibly vague.In this episode, Jeni shares a different way to approach goal-setting: stop focusing only on the ceiling and start creating a floor.Your floor is the minimum standard for how you operate.Instead of saying, “I want to post more,” your floor might be:I publish three pieces of content every week.You can post four. You can post five. But you do not go below three.It is no longer something you hope to accomplish when you feel motivated, inspired, rested, or caught up.It is simply what you do.Jeni explains why your floor should be achievable enough to survive your busiest week—not just your most motivated one. Setting an unrealistic standard can create an all-or-nothing cycle where one missed day makes you abandon the entire goal.The floor creates consistency.It also removes negotiation.When you have already decided that you post three times a week, review your numbers once a month, spend two hours in CEO mode each week, or follow up with every qualified lead twice, you no longer have to wake up and decide whether you feel like doing it.The decision has already been made.Jeni also dives into why keeping promises to yourself matters. Every time you repeatedly say you are going to do something and then do not follow through, you weaken your own trust in yourself.But when you create realistic standards and consistently keep those promises, you begin reinforcing a completely different identity.You become someone who does what she says she is going to do.In this episode, Jeni talks about:Why vague goals often become hopes and wishesThe difference between a goal and an operating standardHow to create a realistic minimum for yourselfWhy your floor should survive your busiest weekHow unrealistic goals create all-or-nothing behaviorWhy standards eliminate decision fatigueHow a floor removes daily negotiationThe importance of keeping promises to yourselfCreating marketing, sales, CEO, networking, money, and boundary floorsWhy you should set floors around behaviors you can actually controlCreating ceilings around the things you refuse to tolerateWhy your standards should evolve as you growHow getting 1% better can dramatically change your business over timeWhy consistency usually wins over occasional bursts of greatnessExamples of business floorsMarketing floor:I publish three pieces of content every week.Follow-up floor:Every qualified inquiry receives at least two follow-ups.CEO floor:I spend two uninterrupted hours every week working on my business.Networking floor:I make one meaningful industry connection every month.Money floor:I review my numbers every month.Pricing floor:I do not accept a full-service wedding below my minimum.Sales floor:Every week I take at least one action that could directly generate revenue.Create ceilings around the bullshitYour business also needs standards for what you will no longer tolerate.That might look like:I do not discount below a certain amount.I do not take weddings below my minimum.I do not work seven days a week.I do not answer client emails at midnight.I do not accept more weddings in one weekend than my business can execute well.I do not tolerate repeated lateness from freelancers.Your business needs floors for what you require and ceilings for what you tolerate.The four-part frameworkChooseWhat area of your business or life needs more consistency?DefineWhat is your minimum acceptable standard?ProtectWhat systems or routines will keep you from falling below it?RaiseOnce the floor becomes normal, raise it slightly.Your challengeSet five floors:your marketing flooryour sales flooryour CEO flooryour relationship flooryour personal floorThese are not wishes.This is simply how you operate now.Key takeawayYou do not need to dramatically raise the ceiling to grow.Sometimes the biggest transformation comes from raising the floor.Your business is not built on the weeks when you occasionally crush it.It is built on what you consistently do.

Job searching is one of the most demoralizing experiences a person can walk through. Months of applications, qualified on paper, doing everything right, and still no interviews, no callbacks, no open doors. The silence from employers has a way of becoming an internal voice that says something far more damaging: you are not enough, you will never succeed, you have somehow failed. Jeremiah 29:11 speaks directly into that silence with a declaration that does not depend on the job market, the economy, or who you happen to know: God has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Those plans are not derailed by a competitive market or a lack of the right connections. They are held securely by the God who sees the whole picture when we can only see the closed doors in front of us. First Corinthians 2:9 adds another layer to that promise: what God has prepared for those who love Him surpasses what any human eye has seen or mind has conceived. The career He has for you may look different from what you envisioned, arrive by a different path, or require more waiting than feels reasonable — but it is coming. While the search continues, the invitation is to practice patience, cultivate hope, and resist the lie that the silence means failure. God's timing is not indifference. He is working, and the right opportunity will come at the right time. Today's Bible Verse "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."— Jeremiah 29:11, NIV Ponder Today The silence from employers is not God's verdict on your worth. Rejection letters and unanswered applications say nothing about what God has prepared for you. His plans are not limited by human hiring decisions. God's plans for your future surpass what you can currently imagine. First Corinthians 2:9 promises that what God has prepared goes beyond what any human eye has seen or mind has conceived. That includes your career, your calling, and your future. The waiting period is not wasted time. God is at work in the in-between, shaping character, building endurance, and positioning you for the right opportunity at the right moment. Patience practiced in a hard season is never lost. Networking and practical effort are part of the process, not a contradiction of faith. Building connections, reaching out to your alma mater, having coffee with people in your field — these are wise and practical steps that God can use to open doors in His timing. Choose to cultivate hope rather than rehearse discouragement. Choosing hope is an active decision, not a passive feeling. Reflecting on God's promises and His past faithfulness is one of the most powerful things you can do while you wait. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, job searching is stressful, draining, and overwhelming. There are days when I want to give up. Because companies are not reaching out, I begin to feel like a failure, fearing I will never land the right position. I ask You to give me hope in this waiting period and to help me find joy in the plans You have for my life. I trust that You will bring the right opportunity at the right time. Until then, please help me practice patience, contentment, and hope. I am giving all control over to You, God. In Your Son's name, Amen. Want More?

#943 It's gotten to the point where my kids roll their eyes every time I say this. But "you can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want." And if there's one regret I have in entrepreneurship, it's that I didn't fully understand the power of building relationships and collaborating sooner! Don't make the same mistake, because growing alongside other creators and brands is the absolute fast track to success. And that's what today's episode is all about! Liz and I are coming at this from two different angles because you can use either one of our approaches to win big. And for even greater results, think about combining both! Liz will walk you through her methods of finding, reaching out to, and partnering with relevant creators. Then I'll step in to share how I'm working with major brands in the Pokémon space on some next-level deals!
