Could Porsche Build a Hypercar on the Audi Nuvolari Platform? Have you seen this thing? It actually looks pretty good. One automotive outlet floated the idea that Porsche could build a hypercar off the Audi Nuvolari chassis, and on paper it makes sense. They're all under the VAG umbrella, so "borrowing" a platform would save Porsche a ton of money versus developing one from scratch. But here's the thing, if Porsche actually goes this route, no matter how good the final car looks, it's a letdown. Porsche is an elite brand. You build your own hypercar, you always have. The day they step away from that is the day it shows they're really hurting, and it would all but confirm they're in panic mode. We hope this one stays a rumor. 100 GT3 Bergsport, Europe Only. We're Not So Sure The story going around is 100 units of the GT3 Bergsport, Europe only, and the American market is reportedly furious about it. We're not convinced this is the final word. We're still firm believers this thing is a tribute to the '73 RS, and we think it's going to make its way to the US looking a lot like that car. Calling it now, we hear things. Curious what you all think about the Euro only angle, though. Manuals, Hybrids, and Reading Between the Lines Porsche announced they'll keep building manual transmissions for as long as they're allowed to. Sounds nice, but really it's Porsche getting ahead of the story. If manuals do go away down the road, they've already set it up so it's not on them, it's regulations. The real news buried in there is that Porsche confirmed they have no plans to pair a manual gearbox with a hybrid drivetrain. So connect the dots. Any future Porsche announced with a hybrid powertrain, you can bank on no manual option coming with it. Rally Season Is Here Time to get the cars ready. Our own rally is right around the corner, Targa Carolina is right around the corner, and we've got Luft wedged in between the two. If you're at Luft, come find us and say hello. We'd love to talk cars with you. We always enjoy chatting with you all, so if you see us out there, please come say what's up.

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Pete is away, leaving Ang behind the desk with Nik and Dean to break down one of the most unusual Fish'n Canada shoots of the season.During a recent trip to Timberwolf Lodge on Nagagami Lake, Ang decided to remove the crew's usual fishing safety net. The guys drew straws to determine who would be restricted to live bait, soft plastics, or hard baits, then had to make their assigned presentation work regardless of what the fish, weather, and constantly changing conditions threw at them.The result was a fishing challenge that put experience, boat control, electronics, confidence, and adaptability to the test, while giving the crew a very different look at how a Fish'n Canada episode comes together behind the scenes.Before getting into the trip, the guys tackle a listener who claims fishing line visibility is basically irrelevant, discuss reports of a rare contagious cancer appearing in fish, and answer a great fan question: if fishing shows had no sponsors, would everyone simply use live bait?That leads Ang into an old sponsorship story he has never forgotten and a bigger debate over live bait versus artificials, why freshwater anglers sometimes look down on bait fishing, and whether catching fish has become more complicated than it needs to be.Plus, Nik has updates from the Fish'n Canada Store, the guys tease another massive Garmin giveaway coming soon, and Ang makes the case for stronger voluntary catch-and-release practices on remote Canadian fisheries.

What if the real key to winning Q4 has nothing to do with discounts, and everything to do with routine? This week is another throwback from the Ecom Founders Q4 Summit, featuring the one of the most popular talks from the event: Jen Gray, formerly SVP of Marketing at Recharge, digs into the psychology of routine. Jen breaks down why the old school ideal customer profile misses the point, how millennials and Gen Z actually spend differently, and how brands like Casper, Tushy, and Barefaced turned one time purchases into daily habits through product diversification. She also covers product positioning and subscription strategy, plus a stat worth remembering going into BFCM: subscribers can be worth seven times more in LTV than one time buyers.

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, we're going somewhere we've never gone before... LIVE into the Amazon.Ang and Pete are joined by Brazilian anglers Bruno Fernandez and Thiago Fantini, who we first met at ICAST. The catch? Bruno and Thiago aren't sitting in a studio. They're calling us directly from the Amazon River in Brazil while hunting down some absolutely massive Peacock Bass.With a very questionable internet connection and the jungle surrounding them, Bruno and Thiago take us along for the adventure. We talk Peacock Bass, the lures they rely on in the Amazon, how their fishing show got started, and what makes this fishery unlike almost anything else on Earth.Along the way, they stumble across a wild snake, show us some of the tackle they're using, and even bring us along for a proper Amazonian shore lunch.Before heading to Brazil, Nik has some big Fish'n Canada Store news as the new Species Hoodies 2.0 officially hit the shelves, Ang shows off his newest shirt, and the boys get into this week's Fan Question, fishing news, and your listener feedback.It's part podcast, part fishing trip, and part barely-connected live broadcast from the middle of the Amazon.All that and more on this week's Outdoor Journal Radio!

What actually changes in Q4 every year, and what stays exactly the same? In this week's episode, Nik revisits a live conversation about the Q4 playbook for DTC brands with Harley Finkelstein, President of Shopify. Recorded on-stage at an earlier Q4 Summit, what Nik and Harley cover still applies directly to 2026, so it felt like the right time to bring it back! Harley opens with fresh data from a survey of 18,000 consumers, breaking down where holiday spending is headed, why discounting and free shipping are still the top two loyalty drivers, and why shoppers are starting their holiday planning earlier every single year. From there, Nik and Harley get into why novelty might be the most underrated Marketing tactic out there (like Gymshark literally turning off their site for Black Friday), how small founder led brands can out execute big companies by doing things that do not scale, and where AI is actually moving the needle on personalization versus where it is just noise. Whether you are locking in your Black Friday promo calendar or just trying to figure out where to focus before the Q4 rush hits, this conversation is packed with tactical takeaways you can use right now. And stick around for the end of the episode where Nik shares some important info about the upcoming 2026 Ecom Founders Q4 Summit, taking place on September 24th in New York City.

What separates a pilot who can run a checklist from one who can actually manage the airplane when things go sideways? Nik sits down with airline captain and instructor Graeme Perry to unpack the nine core competencies, decision-making under pressure, shared mental models, and the knowledge pilots need when there's no script. It's a deep dive into why true competency goes far beyond simply passing recurrent training and why the best pilots never stop learning. Want to take your training to the next level?

Porsche's One-Off Flat Nose Exercise Porsche just rolled out a one-off flat nose build based on a 991 GT2 RS, and it's hard not to think Moby Dick when you see it. The obvious difference is this thing is a street build, where the original Moby Dick was strictly a race car, but the vibe is unmistakably the same. Porsche has been on a kick lately of digging through leftover parts bins and putting together these special exercises just to show what they can do. It's a cool flex, but it also raises the question of who these builds are actually for and whether we'll see more of them or if this is a one-and-done showcase. Porsche Strikes Out on Singer and RUF Word is Porsche tried to buy Singer and got turned down, then went after RUF and got the same answer. Honestly, none of us are shocked either brand said no. Both are large, established operations that have built their identity on standing completely apart from Porsche, so an acquisition would undercut the whole reason people love them. The bigger question is why Porsche is making these moves in the first place. Is this Porsche being opportunistic, or is there a little desperation behind two attempts at buying up the independents? The 992.2 Carrera S MT Package: A Manual By Any Other Name Porsche's new 992.2 Carrera S is offering a manual transmission again, but only as an "MT package" starting at 167K. Everyone's been begging for manuals to come back, and now that they have, it's buried inside a package instead of just being a straightforward option. Why can't Porsche just let you spec a base 911 with a manual and call it a day? We get that it's a money grab, but once you lightly option this car you're walking out the door around 185K, which is a wild number for a Carrera S. Put that next to a 991.2 GT3 that stickered at 143K back in 2019, and it's a genuinely hard pill to swallow. CPR Classic's Ponzi Scheme Collapse CPR Classic, a dealer just north of San Diego, was running a Ponzi scheme from 2022 through 2024, and the shop is now shut down with the owner serving a 21-month prison sentence. This one stings because of the history behind it. The original owner built a genuinely respected family business selling 911s for 40 years, then passed it down to his daughter after he passed away. Almost immediately the wheels came off. She stopped paying consignors for cars she'd sold, bounced checks, and ran a shell game where money from one sale would go to pay off a completely different consignor, over and over. Part of her sentence requires paying back over 9 million dollars. It's a brutal example of how fast four decades of trust can get wiped out. Outro That's it for this episode.

How do you know when it's time to add TV to your Marketing mix? In this episode, Nik sits down with Cody Plofker, former CEO of Jones Road Beauty, and Sean Drobeck, Senior Team Lead, Services at Tatari (our presenting sponsor for this episode), to break down exactly how Jones Road built TV into a quarter of its ad spend, starting from zero TV experience. Cody shares how he scaled Jones Road entirely on paid social before hitting a wall of diminishing returns, why he assumed TV was only for giant brands (and why he was wrong), and how the channel created a halo effect that made his Meta campaigns convert even better. Sean then breaks down how Tatari builds a TV strategy for brands testing the channel for the first time, the truth behind remnant inventory, and why chasing free ad credits is the wrong way to judge a TV partner. You'll learn how to think about linear vs. streaming vs. CTV, how much budget you actually need to get statistically significant results, and how to measure TV without letting any platform grade its own homework. Whether you're bootstrapped and skeptical of TV or gearing up to test the channel before Q4, this episode gives you the exact framework Cody used to scale. --- Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel. Unlike most platforms that focus only on programmatic CTV, Tatari gives marketers access to all of TV - linear, streaming, programmatic CTV, and direct publisher inventory - in one platform. By combining premium inventory with transparent reporting and outcome-based measurement, Tatari lets growth teams evaluate TV the same way they evaluate paid search or paid social. The result: more control, better reach, and TV spend that can actually be tied back to business results. Learn more at ⁠⁠https://lp.tatari.tv/limited-supply⁠⁠ --- Want more DTC advice?

Checkrides can bring out nerves in even the most experienced pilots, but fear doesn't have to take the controls. In this episode, Nik Fialka shares his own pre-checkride anxiety and the mindset that helps him turn preparation into confidence. The key? Trust your training, trust your reps, and remember that confidence comes from knowing you're prepared to handle whatever comes next, not from being perfect. Prepare hard, close the book, trust yourself, and go crush it.  CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level? Don't wait until it's too late.

Nik's Links: https://linktr.ee/realbignikNik Keswani joins JT for a conversation about one of the most unlikely journeys to Jesus Christ.Before becoming known for his Christian content, Nik grew up practicing Hinduism, endured an incredibly difficult childhood filled with serious medical issues, became a massive star on Vine, moved to Los Angeles, and found himself immersed in the world of fame, money, partying and Hollywood culture.But the deeper Nik went into the rabbit hole—researching the occult, secret societies and the spiritual darkness behind the world around him—the more he began questioning everything he thought he knew about God.Eventually, that search led him somewhere he never expected: Jesus Christ.JT and Nik discuss his testimony, his experiences in Hollywood, the occult, spiritual warfare, fallen angels, the Nephilim, Hindu and Greek mythology, the Book of Enoch and other ancient texts, problems within the modern American church, Protestantism, Catholicism and Orthodoxy, Zionism, and why so many people who begin searching for the truth eventually find themselves confronting the claims of Jesus.This conversation goes deep.If you enjoy the podcast, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE.For early and uncensored episodes, check out the JT Follows JC Patreon. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtapeNew Trucker Hat: https://www.shopmmca.com/shop/p/jt-follows-jc-hat

Nik sits down with Jacob Posel, co-founder of HQ (https://hqforwork.com), to talk about the biggest problem nobody's solving in AI adoption: every person on your team is having a completely different experience with Claude or ChatGPT, and none of that context ever gets shared. Jacob breaks down why most companies end up with wild fragmentation instead of the compounding benefit they expect, how HQ works as a shared memory layer across your whole org (think Dropbox for agents, 1Password for agents), and what it actually takes to turn one person's AI workflow into a skill the whole team can use. They also get into Jacob's path from an AI/ML master's program straight into e-comm logistics, then Common Thread Collective, to co-founding HQ with Corey Epstein. Plus: why Marketing teams are seeing the biggest per-person leverage from AI right now, how HQ's "gardening agent" keeps stale context from poisoning your workflows, and Jacob's predictions for what's going to look ridiculous a year from now (spoiler: picking a model manually might be one of them). If you've ever built something great in AI and had zero way to hand it off to your team, this one's for you. --- Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel.

Warrior on the Edge of Time is the band's fifth album and their last with Lemmy Kilmister, who went on to form Motörhead after his firing.

Most operators trying to scale a property management company assume profitability arrives gradually. Nik Boone says it doesn't arrive at all until roughly 600 doors. In this episode of Beyond Rent, the founder of Ascend Real Estate & Property Management in Bakersfield, California, explains why 300 doors is the trap so many owners get stuck in: big enough to feel like success, small enough that the owner is still working day and night to keep the numbers positive.Nik built Ascend from 50 doors to more than 1,800 units and 32 employees, and he is unusually candid about what the middle looked like. He sold a vehicle to cover office rent. He lost $25,000 his first year while believing the business was thriving. He ran essentially break-even for two years and stayed barely profitable for five or six more. His first real growth channel was not a budget or a connection. It was asking what he would personally do if he needed a property manager and knew no one, then relentlessly working the answer: Google reviews.The conversation also covers where Ascend puts technology to work, from a fully paperless operation and automated lead flows to the metrics Nik now tracks between a resident giving notice and the next move-in. He shares how he uses artificial intelligence to benchmark his financials against industry ratios, and why he ignored its recommendation to cut payroll. Nik closes on retention, community investment, and why he shares his entire playbook with the competitors down the street.

In the mid 1970's a supergroup featuring members of Hawkwind, Mott The Hoople, and (later) Rainbow/Ozzy Osbourne formed and dropped their first record.Dig in with Nik and Duncan into Widowmaker and see if we should spin it or bin it.

The Turbo GT3 Rumor: The End of Naturally Aspirated Porsche Okay, this is the one everyone's going to have an opinion on. Word on the street is that the next GT3 and the 911 R will be turbocharged, and the GT2 RS is set to get hybrid assisted turbo power. If that pans out, it makes it official: Porsche will no longer build a naturally aspirated engine, full stop. That's a massive deal and there's a lot to unpack. What does this do to every N/A car that came before it? What happens to the GT cars specifically, which have always been the naturally aspirated holdouts even after the regular 911 line went turbo? Quick refresher for anyone not paying close attention, Porsche killed the N/A engine in the standard, non-GT 911 back in the 2017 model year, when the 991.2 generation switched to the 3.0 turbo. GT cars have been the last line of defense since then. So now the question is how the market and the fanbase receive a turbocharged GT3. Good? Bad? We've already watched this play out once, there's been a clear camp for almost ten years now chasing the last true N/A 911s, the 991.1 generation specifically, and that divide has only gotten more pronounced as time goes on. If the GT3 goes turbo too, does that camp just get bigger, or does the car end up winning people over anyway? Let's dive in. Rally Season: Get Your Cars Ready PSA time. Doors to rally season are closing fast, officially. If your car isn't ready, now's the time. Oil changes, tires, coolant if you're due, brakes, all of it. Give your independent shop a real runway to get your car sorted instead of showing up last minute. We're only about six weeks out from some of the first rallies of the season, so don't sleep on this. Luft Tickets Are Live Luft tickets went on sale, so hopefully everyone who wanted in got their tickets locked down. Not sure if it's sold out at this point, haven't checked back in, but if you're looking to display a car they're still taking applications right now. Worth getting on that if you want to be part of the show and not just in the crowd. The Ducktail GT3: Hillclimb Homage or Something Else? There's a GT3 running around the Nürburgring wearing a ducktail, and rumor has it this is yet another GT3 variant, this one supposedly paying homage to Porsche's 1960s hillclimb cars. Before the turbo GT3 drops, are we thinking Porsche rolls out a wave of special models to send off the N/A era? Feels likely. Here's the disagreement though: I don't buy the hillclimb homage story. I think people are reading this wrong. My take is this is the homage to the '73 RS with the ducktail that Porsche has talked about building for years, this is finally that car. Curious what you all think, hillclimb tribute or the RS ducktail we've been waiting on? Thank you for your support! Kimchi Crew: Steve, Leslie, Chris, Ken, Aaron, Matthew, Sean, and Nik

In this latest episode of Limited Supply, Nik gets in the guest seat for a conversation with Ryan Ayala for his show, The Alchemist's Library (https://www.alchemistslibrary.org/). Listen as Nik and Ryan break down why the old moats (distribution, proprietary data, a big audience) don't hold water the way they used to now that small teams are running 20-agent AI stacks and compressing weeks of execution into hours. Nik breaks down why agencies get brutal to run once you cross $200-250K a month, why raising too much money can trap a startup before it's proven anything, and where he is actually seeing opportunity right now in niche agencies and boring Main Street businesses nobody wants to touch.

Most CHROs have a fraud problem they didn't sign up for. Deepfakes in video interviews. Synthetic IDs at the application stage. AI-generated credentials that pass every automated screen. Only 31% of CHROs say they're confident in their ability to prevent hiring fraud, and the technology making it easier gets more sophisticated every quarter. Nik Daruwala, Vice President of Sales at Checkr, has spent 21 years in B2B technology sales, including thousands of direct conversations with HR leaders trying to protect their hiring funnels without losing speed. Checkr powers background verification for Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart, and was the first API in the background check industry. In this episode, he covers: Why hiring fraud appears at every stage of the funnel, from the initial application through post-hire monitoring, and what a continuous identity verification strategy actually looks like in practice How CHROs should be thinking about partnering with their CISO to address a risk that's moved from the cyber stack into the talent pipeline https://thehrmixtape.com/episodes/trust-at-speed-hiring-fraud-deepfakes-and-the-identity-risks-chros-cant-ignore-with-nik-daruwala Why the speed-versus-safety trade-off in hiring is a false choice, and what good looks like when both coexist in the same program Timestamps [00:00:39] Context: this conversation was recorded live at the Checkr booth at SHRM 2026 [00:01:01] How enterprise hiring changed over 24 years: global sourcing, the normalization of remote hiring, and why the explosion of application volume made quality screening harder [00:02:50] The CHRO anxiety most people aren't talking about: making sure candidates throughout the funnel are actually who they claim to be [00:04:13] Only 31% of CHROs have confidence in their ability to prevent hiring fraud, and why the AI tools now available to candidates are changing that threat surface fast [00:04:39] The three identity threats CHROs weren't trained for: deepfakes in interviews, synthetic IDs at the application stage, and AI-generated credentials that pass automated screens [00:06:44] Why most organizations are reactive on hiring fraud, and the parallel to the early days of cybersecurity: you don't prioritize it until you have your first incident [00:08:42] Where fraud actually shows up across the hiring funnel: application, interview, background check, and continuously post-hire [00:09:41] The speed-versus-compliance trade-off is a false choice, and why the best hiring programs don't ask their teams to make it [00:13:27] Nik on what it actually means for trust to be a competitive advantage, and why that should be the north star for every hiring program [00:16:00] The two-to-three year horizon: AI automating talent sourcing and administrative tasks, continuous monitoring as table stakes, and why the hiring decision stays human Brought to You by Paylocity Paylocity is the fastest growing unified platform for HR, Finance, and IT.

Nik breaks down what's actually new with GPT-5.6 Sol and why it's a bigger deal for marketers than most people realize. He walks through how he's using it inside his AI agent "Jet", why hyper-realistic product imagery is now table stakes, and how a tool called Jurni is changing the way he builds high-converting landing pages. Nik also gets into the real question every marketer should be asking: what should stay in-house, and what's better handed off to an external vendor or freelancer. --- Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel.
