Send us a textWhat separates successful franchise concepts from the overhyped flashes in the pan? In this revealing roundtable discussion, franchise prodigy Dan Claps – who sold his company to private equity before turning 30 – joins forces with seasoned franchise consultants to cut through the noise of franchise marketing and deliver unfiltered truth about what really drives success in this industry.The conversation quickly challenges conventional wisdom about market saturation. Rather than fearing competition, the experts reveal why established markets often present the safest bets for new franchisees. "How many pizza restaurants are in your neighborhood? Every corner, right?" Dan points out. "Pizza is a $25 billion space. You need a lot of pizza." This counter-intuitive approach to evaluating franchise opportunities shifts the focus from avoiding competition to identifying robust demand.Perhaps the most powerful insight comes when Dan shares his formula for franchise success: "90% of being an entrepreneur is picking the right industry." The panel explores how technology integration, recession resistance, and market validation should guide your franchise selection process far more than trendy concepts or flashy marketing.For current franchise owners, the discussion tackles the evolution of the franchisee-franchisor relationship. Dan reveals innovative approaches to keeping veteran franchisees engaged beyond the two-year mark when many begin questioning the value of their royalty payments. His insights on establishing Franchise Advisory Councils and creating financial incentives for system-wide growth represent cutting-edge thinking in franchise leadership.Whether you're contemplating franchise ownership or already operating within a system, this episode delivers practical wisdom from those who've built and sold successful franchise businesses.

In this episode, Brad dives into the growing interest in milk fatty acid profiles and what they can tell us about cow health, nutrition, and management.Brad explains the three main groups of milk fatty acids—de novo, mixed, and preformed—and how they are shaped by diet, stage of lactation, seasonality, and even genetics. He highlights how monitoring these fatty acid trends through routine milk testing can help farmers fine-tune rations, detect health challenges like subclinical ketosis or mastitis, and make more informed feeding decisions.Brad also shares findings from two recent University of Minnesota research projects:Commercial herd study: Comparing Holsteins and crossbreds, as well as feeding strategies (higher starch diets vs. fat supplementation). Results showed small but meaningful differences in fatty acid profiles, with crossbreds showing slightly healthier rumen indicators.University herd study: Comparing organic pasture-based cows to conventional TMR-fed cows, and looking at breed influences (Holsteins, Viking Reds, Jerseys, and Normandy crosses). Pasture cows had higher preformed fatty acids, while Jerseys and Normandy crosses stood out for more favorable fatty acid compositions.The takeaway: fatty acid testing is a valuable management tool for nutrition, genetics, and herd health monitoring—and could even open new opportunities for niche milk markets.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

In this episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, host Peter Harris sits down with Rex Salisbury, solo GP of Cambrian and former fintech partner at Andreessen Horowitz, for an in-depth conversation about the ongoing transformation of financial services. Rex shares his unique journey from investment banking to leading one of fintech's most dynamic pre-seed and seed funds, explaining how decades of inefficiency in banking have finally given way to a wave of disruptive innovation.The discussion explores recent shifts in the fintech landscape, highlighting how new fintech companies, once dismissed as serving only niche or low-value customers, are now directly competing with and winning market share from the largest legacy banks. Rex points to the rise of digital-first platforms like Robinhood and Wealthfront, which started by serving overlooked users but have evolved into sophisticated competitors for the millennial and Gen Z wealth transfer.Peter and Rex examine why B2B fintech is an especially powerful force, with vertical software companies like Toast integrating lending, payroll, and banking into a single platform that businesses can't imagine leaving for traditional banks. Rex also tackles the myth of banks' cost-of-capital advantage, arguing that technology and changing consumer expectations are steadily eroding long-held bank moats.Beyond consumer trends, the episode ventures into the investment landscape, with Rex sharing lessons from recent Cambrian investments, such as companies revolutionizing transfer agents and simplifying business shutdowns. The conversation also addresses the role of crypto and stablecoins in reshaping payment and banking infrastructure, where Rex differentiates between international and U.S. use cases but remains optimistic about crypto's role as a catalyst for industry change.Rex closes with actionable advice for aspiring founders and operators: seek out dense talent networks, work in growth-stage companies, and always surround yourself with people who teach you. The episode captures the underlying message that, as technology, business models, and capital flows shift, fintech is only just beginning to threaten incumbents and capture its share of the financial future.Follow the PodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/venturecapitalfm/Twitter: https://twitter.com/vcpodcastfmLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/venturecapitalfm/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7BQimY8NJ6cr617lqtRr7N?si=ftylo2qHQiCgmT9dfloD_g&nd=1&dlsi=7b868f1b72094351Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/venture-capital/id1575351789Website: https://www.venturecapital.fm/Follow Jon BradshawLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrbradshaw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjonbradshaw/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mrjonbradshawFollow Peter HarrisLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterharris1Twitter: https://twitter.com/thevcstudentInstagram: https://instagram.com/shodanpeteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterharris2812

We've seen this with every form of exploration: human presence will be interlinked with national standing, economic expansion, setting norms, and guarding security interests. That said, there's a lot on the Space Force's plate and they don't have the resources to cover down on all their currently assigned missions. Balancing future investments against current demands is a perennial challenge. Partnerships with commercial organizations may help unravel this Gordian Knot.

"AI helps dealerships and their teams do more with less effort, ultimately driving growth and improving the customer experience." - Knight ChatGPT Delving into the automotive industry's ongoing digital evolution, Knight ChatGPT underscores the optimization potential AI holds in routine operations such as customer relationship management and predictive analytics. The episode covers practical applications, including crafting personalized customer communications and analyzing customer data to drive sales performance.  "You can get tailored advice, cutting-edge strategies, and proven techniques all in one place, helping you elevate your sales game." - Knight ChatGPT With a greater emphasis on integrating AI insights into daily sales workflows and customer interactions, dealerships are poised to provide more efficiency and personalized customer experiences, securing a competitive edge in the market. "If you're not using AI, it's not that you're going to be left behind. You are ALREADY behind." - Tianna Mick Key Takeaways: ✅ AI, particularly models like ChatGPT, can revolutionize dealership operations by automating routine tasks and providing personalized customer interactions. ✅ Sales professionals can leverage AI technology to craft tailored communication strategies, optimize their lead conversion processes, and enhance customer relationship management. ✅ AI-driven tools empower dealerships to stay competitive by integrating predictive analytics and personalized communication, crucial for improving customer satisfaction and sales outcomes. ✅ Ensuring a robust AI training program for dealership teams helps maximize the technology's potential, from the sales floor to business operations. ✅ Advanced AI tools, such as DealerSynergy AI, are facilitating state-of-the-art solutions, like generative video content, to enrich customer experiences and streamline sales operations.   About Knight ChatGPT Knight ChatGPT represents an advanced AI language model developed by OpenAI, known for its ability to engage in natural language conversations and infer human-like understanding from the input it receives. It serves as a dynamic assistant capable of generating human-like text across a broad range of topics and applications.   ChatGPT: Transforming Automotive Sales Through AI Innovation Key Takeaways: AI's Next Frontier in Automotive Sales: Artificial Intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, is set to revolutionize the automotive industry by enhancing efficiency, customer engagement, and sales effectiveness. Empowering Dealerships and Sales Professionals: AI tools provide dealerships and their employees with valuable insights and automation capabilities to improve operations and focus on high-value tasks. Building a Robust Referral Network: Leveraging AI to cultivate and manage a network of referral agents can dramatically increase a dealership's leads and sales opportunities. The advent of artificial intelligence technology is reshaping industries across the globe, and the automotive sector is no exception. This week's episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast explores how ChatGPT, an advanced AI developed by OpenAI, is not just an assistant but a revolutionizing presence in automotive sales. From streamlining operations to generating qualified leads, AI promises to redefine how car salespeople engage with and sell to their customers. AI's Next Frontier in Automotive Sales Artificial Intelligence, particularly ChatGPT, has emerged as a transformative force in enhancing dealership operations, customer engagement, and overall sales effectiveness. As described in the transcript, AI in the automotive space helps handle tasks that typically require human intelligence, "like a super advanced assistant," providing valuable support and ideas (Knight ChatGPT, [0:05:07]). AI technology's application in car shopping is profound, offering enhanced search capabilities and personalized customer experiences. "When it comes to car shopping, the average American is leveraging AI in several ways," notes Knight. By operating recommendation engines, virtual assistants, and price comparison tools, AI equips dealerships and consumers with powerful tools to streamline decision-making (Knight ChatGPT, [0:07:00]). Moreover, the competitive edge AI offers through refining dealership operations and marketing strategies cannot be understated. As affirmed, "AI makes the entire journey from research to purchase more efficient, personalized, and user friendly" (Knight ChatGPT, [0:07:47]). Empowering Dealerships and Sales Professionals The integration of AI into dealership operations provides tangible benefits for both managers and sales professionals. The transcript emphasizes how tools like ChatGPT can enhance customer interactions through streamlined communications and personalized engagement. For instance, crafting custom e-mail scripts and voicemail message scripts tailored to specific customer needs leads to higher conversion rates. In the words of Knight, "By integrating ChatGPT…dealerships can offer a more personalized, efficient and proactive customer experience," setting themselves apart from competitors (Knight ChatGPT, [0:13:09]). Beyond communication capabilities, AI-driven analytics allows for understanding and predicting consumer behavior, optimizing inventory management, and creating targeted marketing campaigns. This precision enables sales teams to tailor their strategies closely to customer demands, as detailed when discussing CRM capabilities. "AI helps dealerships and their teams do more with less effort, ultimately driving growth and improving the customer experience" (Knight ChatGPT, [0:10:12]). AI's role in sales training is another vital aspect of empowering automotive professionals. The potential for continuous improvement through real-time feedback and data analysis enables salespeople to hone their skills and stay competitive in a fast-evolving market. Building a Robust Referral Network One of the most compelling discussions in the transcript revolves around using AI to build a network of referral agents. By effectively communicating and creating partnerships with individuals in various industries, sales professionals can amplify their reach and lead generation efforts. ChatGPT's ability to craft personalized messages and guide referral programs highlights how AI can facilitate these relationships. Sean comments, "Leveraging ChatGPT to build a network of referral agents can make a huge difference" (Knight ChatGPT, [0:23:55]). The strategic advantage of employing referral networks lies in their ability to reach untapped markets and cultivate trustworthy leads. As Knight outlines, using ChatGPT to establish structured referral incentives and maintain regular engagement with agents creates a robust system for generating high-quality referrals. Importantly, training these referral partners ensures they are effective extensions of the dealership. ChatGPT can assist in creating educational materials and communication guidelines to ensure referral agents are well-equipped to promote the dealership and its offerings. Revolutionizing Traditional Dealership Models Through AI The ongoing digital transformation in the automotive industry is massively supported by AI advancements like ChatGPT. This technology enables dealerships to leverage innovative solutions to longstanding industry challenges, from optimizing internal operations to enhancing consumer relationships. The dialogue in the podcast exemplifies how AI integration translates into tangible business improvements, from micro-level sales tactics to macro-level market strategies. The potential to blend data-driven decision-making processes with empathetic customer interactions transforms the industry paradigm. By embracing AI media solutions like DealerSynergy AI, dealerships unlock new avenues of engagement, ensuring a tailored, memorable customer experience, as Tiana Mick points out, "And the best thing about it is that you just record it once…the possibilities are endless" (Tianna Mick, [0:43:43]). In embracing and advancing AI use, the automotive industry is poised for a powerful transformation. As underscored in the transcript, leveraging technology like ChatGPT will not only lead to more significant sales and profitability but will ensure that dealerships build enduring customer relationships and deepen their impact on the market landscape.

In this episode of Coach2Scale, CoachEm CEO and co-founder Colum Lundt joins host Matt Benelli to unpack a critical but often overlooked reality in sales leadership: frontline managers are the linchpin to scalable growth, yet they're routinely undertrained, overwhelmed, and underleveraged. Colum shares firsthand insights on why simply promoting great reps into management roles isn't working and how the right tools, data, and AI-powered systems can transform managers from reactive deal chasers into proactive skill builders.Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how AI should act as a copilot, not a crutch; the compounding impact of consistent developmental coaching over deal coaching; and how to drive real behavior change in reps without adding more to a manager's plate. If you're a CRO thinking about enablement, productivity, and long-term performance, this episode offers a sharp, no-nonsense look at what's broken and what you can do to fix it.Key Takeaway1. Frontline Managers Are the Most Underdeveloped Yet Most Critical Role in SalesManagers get the least training and the most pressure, yet their influence has the highest ROI, up to 7–8x for every dollar invested.2. AI Should Be a Copilot, Not a ReplacementThe future of sales management lies in AI that augments human leadership by handling prep, surfacing insights, and reducing cognitive overload, not replacing empathy and accountability.3. Developmental Coaching Is What Scales, Not Deal CoachingSkills coaching “between the games” has far more long-term value than reactive deal coaching, which often reinforces short-term thinking.4. Manager Span of Control Has ExplodedThe average frontline manager is managing too many reps with too many tools and no time to coach; CoachEm helps them scale themselves without sacrificing quality.5. Change Fatigue and Tech Overload Are Crushing Sales TeamsEspecially in mid-market, reps and managers are drowning in tools and new initiatives without a clear structure or prioritization, which undermines focus and execution.6. AI-Powered Role Play Is a Breakthrough for Enablement at ScaleCoachEm's integration with Hyperbound lets companies simulate real conversations—both for reps and for managers dramatically improving readiness without needing live trainers.7. CoachEm Makes Performance Coaching Measurable and RepeatableThe platform uses CRM, call transcripts, and behavioral data to show exactly what's working and what's not, down to missed calendar invites that slow deal velocity.8. The Best Reps Still Need Coaching, They Need Different CoachingEven top performers benefit from sharpening specific skills; the right system gives managers the data to coach everyone, not just the squeaky wheels.9. Customer Success Is the Next Frontier for Coaching ExecutionAs more CSMs are pulled into revenue roles, CoachEm is expanding to support upsell, cross-sell, and relationship-building motions as rigorously as sales.10. If You Want to Fix Sales Productivity, Start by Fixing the Manager ExperienceSales cultures that prioritize manager development first see better rep retention, stronger pipelines, and more consistent execution across teams.

"AI may be both the driver and the remedy for multi-cloud adoption," says Dmitry Panenkov, Founder & CEO of emma, alluding to the vast potential and possibilities Artificial Intelligence (AI) and multi-cloud strategies offer. In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Tom Croll, a Cybersecurity Industry Analyst and Tech Advisor at Lionfish, speaks to Panenkov. They talk about the intricacies of powering multi-cloud systems with AI, offering valuable insights for businesses aiming to tap into the full potential of both.They also discuss data fragmentation, interoperability issues, and security concerns. AI Adoption in Multi-CloudAddressing the key challenges of AI adoption in multi-cloud environments, Panenkov spotlights one of the most prominent issues – data fragmentation. “AI thrives on unified data sets. But multi-cloud setups often lead to data silos across the different platforms,” the founder of emma, the cloud management platform, explained. Data silos creates a disconnect which makes it increasingly challenging for AI models. It makes it harder for AI models to access and process the huge amounts of data needed to function efficiently. Instead, Panenkov stresses the potential of AI to drive multi-cloud adoption by optimising workloads and automating policies. In addition to data fragmentation, the lack of interoperability and tooling presents another challenge when integrating AI with multi-cloud. This is where Inconsistent APIs, a lack of standardisation, and variations in cloud-native tools create major friction. The difference is evident when building AI pipelines across diverse environments. Panenkov also pointed out the impact of latency and performance. He says, "Even Kubernetes is sensitive to latency. When we talk about AI and inference, and I'm not even talking about the training, I'm saying that inference is also sensitive." Without proper networking solutions, running AI workloads effectively in multi-cloud environments becomes next to impossible.Of course, security and compliance are a looming challenge for all enterprises across varying industries. Managing data protection in different jurisdictions and environments adds layers of legal and operational complexity.Despite these challenges, AI has significant advantages in multi-cloud systems that well surpass any challenges. Intelligent Orchestration is the Key to Successful Multi-Cloud AdoptionThe main topic of the conversation was how AI can actually help overcome the complexities of multi-cloud adoption. As the...

When you think about someone taking a psychedelic drug like magic mushrooms, the first images that come to mind probably don't involve a medical professional in a white coat or any sort of clinical setting. However, the perception of these drugs is changing as researchers and health professionals continue to learn new ways these drugs can treat a variety of mental health conditions. Much of the research has to do with microdosing, or taking such a small dose of a drug that it doesn't produce a “trip.” One of the more commonly microdosed drugs is psilocybin, the naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in “magic mushrooms.” That led our small-but-mighty team at Hyperfocus to wonder, “What could this all mean for ADHD treatment?” So, we looked for someone who might know, and it led us to Dr. Richard A. Friedman. He's a professor, psychiatrist, and director of the Psychopharmacology Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell University's medical school. Richard has also written about his areas of expertise for The New York Times and is a contributing writer at The Atlantic.  On this week's episode of Hyperfocus, he sits down with mental health journalist Rae Jacobson to answer all her questions on microdosing, psychedelics as medicine, and what it could mean for ADHD and more. Related resourcesADHD alternative treatmentADHD treatment without medication: What are my options?Richard's piece on microdosing in The AtlanticTimestamps(02:58) What is microdosing?(10:43) What do we know about ADHD and microdosing?(15:30) How do psychedelics work in the brain?(30:44) Richard's hopes for future research and microdosingFor a transcript of this episode and more resources, visit the episode page on Understood.org.We love hearing from our listeners!

Earned Trust: Why Media Still Matters in Healthcare

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. On today's episode, host Sara Payne is joined by Linda Zebian, Vice President of Communications at Muck Rack, for a timely and insightful conversation about the evolving—and increasingly vital—role of earned media in health marketing. With trust in the media waning, AI blurring the boundaries between fact and fabrication, and journalists facing unprecedented pressures, the landscape for marketers has never been more complex—or more full of opportunity. Drawing from her leadership at Muck Rack and her decade shaping communications at The New York Times, Linda brings a unique perspective on how earned media not only raises visibility, but delivers true business impact. Together, Sara and Linda explore what health brands must do to build credibility, foster authentic relationships with journalists, and adapt their strategies to meet new realities in 2025 and beyond. Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of healthcare depends on it. Key Takeaways: 1. Earned Media Is at a Pivotal Moment—Full of Challenges and Opportunity While media skepticism and AI-driven misinformation represent real threats, Linda Zebian highlights a rebirth underway: New technology, especially generative AI, is increasingly surfacing information from credible news organizations. For brands, this means investing in earned visibility and supporting traditional journalism is more valuable than ever. Genuine collaboration between PR, marketers, and journalists is the key to long-term influence. 2. Journalist Burnout Is Real—And Brands Must Respond Thoughtfully Muck Rack's annual surveys reveal significant stress and burnout among journalists: half considered quitting in the last year, with 42% having previously left jobs for mental health reasons. Despite this, most plan to stay in the field—a testament to journalism's critical role. For brands, this translates into a responsibility: be concise, targeted, and respectful when pitching. Avoid the “spray and pray” approach; respect journalists' time and workload. 3. The Anatomy of a Great Pitch: Less Is More (and Relationships Matter Most) Successful pitching is not about volume, but about relevance, brevity, and personalization. Key elements of a strong pitch include: Keep it under 200 words and send early in the week and day. Make it about the journalist's audience—not your milestone or product. One follow-up is plenty; building authentic relationships outside of pitching cycles is the real differentiator. Engage with trade and niche publications, not just national outlets, to drive meaningful impact. 4. Reputation and Authenticity Reign Supreme in a Distrustful Age Today's consumers—especially millennials and Gen Z—care deeply about brand values and authenticity. Brands must consistently stand for something meaningful, communicating it fearlessly and transparently across all channels. Reputation is shaped by every touchpoint, from earned media to social engagement to internal communications. Failing to show up in these conversations carries real risks. 5. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) Is the Next Frontier for Earned Visibility With AI-powered content discovery on the rise, brands must look beyond traditional SEO to GEO, ensuring they are present in the reputable sources surfaced by AI tools and large language models. Earned media coverage in high-quality outlets now directly influences brand discoverability in the new information economy—as does having spokespeople who provide credible, unique, and data-backed expert insights.

The gaming landscape is shifting beneath our feet, and we're here to guide you through the tremors. This week, we dive deep into the Nintendo Switch 2 phenomenon as pre-orders vanish instantly and retailers prepare their displays for the imminent launch. But as excitement builds, a shadow looms: the controversial "game key cards" that threaten true physical ownership of your games.Against this digital tide stands CD Projekt RED, boldly declaring that Cyberpunk 2077 for Switch 2 will be fully playable from the cartridge—no massive downloads required. "This is the right thing to do," they proclaimed, as collectors and preservation enthusiasts breathed a collective sigh of relief. We explore why this stance matters in an era where physical media fights for relevance, and what it means for the future of game collections.The technological frontier marches forward relentlessly as Doom: The Dark Age promises kaiju-fighting mechs and dragon-riding mayhem, requiring ever-more-powerful hardware to experience.

Mary Ziegler is a law professor at UC Davis and a leading scholar on the abortion debate. In her new book Personhood, she argues that the anti-abortion movement's ultimate goal is fetal personhood, which would give fetuses and embryos the rights of people under the Constitution. Ziegler's book makes the case that the history of this movement is crucial to our understanding of where the abortion fight is headed next. In today's episode, Ziegler talks with Here & Now's Tiziana Dearing about the legal meaning of fetal personhood, the way conservatives might reimagine constitutional equality, and whether this debate amounts to a new Civil War.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
