Show Featured Sponsor Product: Seeklander Edition Holster In this episode of the American Warrior Show, Rich Brown and Bill Rapier dive into hard-earned lessons drawn from the world of Naval Special Warfare Development Group - where performance is measured in life-and-death outcomes, and teamwork isn't optional. This conversation isn't about hype or hero worship. It's about standards. It's about how elite units train, communicate, and execute and what armed citizens, competitors, and instructors can take from those principles. Because here's the truth: individual skill matters… but team performance wins. In this episode, they discuss: The difference between being a good shooter and being an asset to a team Why elite units obsess over repetition and measurable standards Communication under stress  and how small breakdowns create big failures Accountability inside high-performance cultures How ego quietly destroys team effectiveness What civilian defenders misunderstand about "tactical" training Applying special operations training principles to your own range time Rich and Bill break down how discipline, humility, and clear standards build competence - and how those same principles can transform the way you train, lead, and protect. Whether you're an instructor, competitor, protector, or leader in your own home, this episode challenges you to raise your standards. Train with purpose. Perform with discipline. Contribute to the team.

We're struggling to care. In this episode, we break down why Gemini went from being our daily driver to a model we barely touch, the "tunnel vision" hallucination problem that killed the Gemini 3 series for us, and whether 3.1 Pro actually fixes it. We put Gemini 3.1 Pro head-to-head against Claude Opus building a Geoffrey Hinton Doom Center, debate whether anyone can actually tell the difference between Sonnet 4.5 and 4.6, and make the case that smaller models running in agentic loops are secretly beating the frontiers. Plus: OpenAI acquires OpenClaw and we ask why a $100B company couldn't just build it themselves, DHH calls out the AI pricing bubble, Mike compares AI models to cheap wine hangovers, and Sam Altman refuses to hold Dario's hand at the India AI Summit.

Gualter spent years deep in real estate operations. Deals. Buildings. Management. Constant involvement. In this clip from The Abundance Mindset podcast, Vinney explains why being knowledgeable — even wealthy — isn't the same as being free… and how he made a conscious decision to shift toward true passive income. The turning point wasn't a new strategy. It was a new purpose. Instead of asking, "How do I grow bigger?" He started asking, "How do I step back?" That single question changed the trajectory of his investing journey. If you're asset-rich but time-poor, this clip will hit home ⚡ ▶️ Tune in to the full episode of the The Abundance Mindset podcast tomorrow at 8AM!

Show Summary: In today's episode of the Grow My Accounting Practice podcast, we explore the critical shift every founder must make to scale successfully by moving from operator to true leader. The conversation breaks down why being buried in emails, meetings, and day-to-day decisions isn't leadership and how CEOs can intentionally reclaim their time before burnout forces change. We discuss when it's actually the right time to hire help, how to scale yourself first, and why founders' syndrome is one of the most common blind spots holding growing companies back. The episode also examines how to build a culture of feedback that works and why it starts with the CEO, how leaders can better support and engage Gen Z employees, and why a Chief of Staff can be a powerful secret weapon for focus, strategy, and speed. This is a must-listen for firm owners ready to lead their businesses forward, not just manage them.   Website:https://verticalelevation.com LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolbschultz/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/growgreatteams/       Profit First App Version 2.0 is here!  More Education.

Before his first cup of coffee, Alex Melamud opens Slack—not to scan revenue charts first, but to read customer feedback. “The first one that may surprise you as a CFO that I look at is actually NPS,” he tells us. At Engine, every survey drops into a shared channel so “every executive can see” what customers said, he tells us.That habit fits a finance leader who didn't grow up in the CFO seat. Melamud started in investment banking and then spent 16 years in private equity, learning to build theses, chase signal, and “sell… the product of private equity,” he tells us. Sitting on boards, he watched the CFO role evolve from “corporate governance accounting” into “executive first and maybe CFO second,” he tells us—someone who can talk like product, sales, or operations and earn board trust.Engine became the moment he stepped inside. After leading the company's round “18 months ago,” joining the board, and helping with a CFO search, he looked at founder “Eli” and asked, “what if I joined you as CFO?” he tells us. The draw was a focused mission: serving SMB travel, where customers book “like a consumer” and lose corporate rates and visibility, he tells us.Now his investor lens shows up in the unglamorous work. During annual planning, he dug into the “top 50 costs” outside headcount and pushed leaders to treat each contract “as a brand new relationship,” he tells us—an inspection that produced “10, 15%” savings and “tens of millions of dollars,” he tells us.

In our latest Open Source Startup Podcast episode, co-hosts Robby and Tim talk with Magnus Müller, the Co-Founder & CEO of Browser Use - the platform that makes web agents come to life. Their open source, browser-use, has almost 80K stars on GitHub and is widely adopted. This episode dives into the unexpected rise of an open-source browser automation project that took off during Y Combinator - while many similar projects before and after it never gained traction. The founder reflects on why: delivering a “magical moment” fast. Early demos showing AI controlling a browser, inspired by trends like OpenAI's Operator, and immediately clicked with people. What began as a developer-only Python library evolved into a hosted product as non-technical users - from sales teams to startups - wanted access. Along the way, the team leaned into controversial but compelling use cases, like AI applying for jobs on your behalf, which sparked conversation and accelerated growth. The core challenge they focused on solving was reliability: unlike deterministic automation scripts, AI agents can behave unpredictably, making trust and repeatability central problems to overcome.The long-term vision goes beyond UI automation toward agents that can skip the browser entirely and interact directly with website servers through structured actions. But the conversation isn't just about infrastructure. The founder admits that early growth came mostly from building and talking to users, while recent months have been dedicated to storytelling and marketing rather than coding. A personal through-line emerges as well: learning to replace defensiveness with curiosity - questioning assumptions, staying open to feedback, and continuously refining both the technology and the narrative around it.

There's a big difference between doing deals and owning a business.Most investors never make the jump.They grow deal volume… and somehow lose time, margin, and sanity in the process. Every new deal adds pressure. Every hire feels risky. Vacations feel impossible because nothing works without you answering texts, approving ads, and fixing problems in real time.That's the pain no one talks about.In this episode, Lindsay and I dig into why that happens, and why most investors stay stuck as operators even when the numbers look “good.” If marketing still needs your approval and follow-up dies when you get busy, you're stuck in the operator trap.That's exactly what you'll learn in our next free masterclass.On February 19th, Bill Allen and our COO Dave Morse will show you how to hire for ownership inside People+: Hiring for Freedom.If your growth still depends on you touching everything, this is the shift you need.If your growth still depends on you being in every decision, this masterclass is the move that turns effort into ownership.If you haven't registered yet…CLICK HERE to reserve Free your spot >>If you have, then I'm super excited to see you there!Catch you later!LINKS & RESOURCES1,000 FREE Seller LeadsGet your first 1,000 seller leads FREE from our partner BatchLeads and start closing deals immediately.

In this episode, Matt sits down with Greg Mehfoud, Head of Procurement at Twenty/20 Management, to unpack what really happens when you cross the line between operations and the vendor side in senior living.Greg shares what surprised him most about SaaS sales, what operators often misunderstand about vendors (and vice versa), and how procurement isn't about being sold — it's about stewardship.

Red Apple Media Owner & Operator John Catsimatidis joins Sid live in-studio for his weekly Monday morning appearance on the program to talk about how national and international media are seeking WABC's perspective on what's happening in New York, including a documentary on socialism and a visit from the Los Angeles Times. He recounts a Fox Business Zoom appearance from the Ritz-Carlton where he complained the hotel carried MSNBC but not Fox Business, prompting calls from hotel management and corporate about changing the channel policy. Catsimatidis also talks about New York City politics and concerns about tax increases driving a continued exodus of wealthy residents, mentioning attending the New York police foundation breakfast with Jessica Tisch and others. He comments on troubles in legacy media like layoffs at the Washington Post, and addresses his real estate interests in St. Petersburg and Coney Island, saying he is cautious about further investing in New York and calling proposed Coney Island small-business funding ‘chump change,' while noting a plan for ‘giveaway supermarkets.'

What if the real constraint in your business isn't effort, seasons, or skill, but the role you're still stuck playing?    For Ben and Kate, this question didn't arrive neatly. It crept in over time.    Their journey took them far from the farm first, through university, into investment banking in London, and straight into the pressure cooker of the GFC. Long hours. High stakes. A world where structure and accountability were non-negotiable.    Choosing to come home to the family farm wasn't about escaping work. It was about building something of their own.    What they returned to was a third-generation Darling Downs farm growing irrigated silage for Wagyu feedlots. A good business, but one run largely from people's heads, with no clear leadership role and a heavy reliance on who was on the ground each day.    Here's what we explore:  What it really took to come home and spend years earning influence before having authority  Why their succession took close to two years, and why slowing it down led to better decisions and stronger relationships  The point where expanding pivots and working harder stopped delivering growth  What changed once Ben stepped out of daily operations and into a full-time CEO role  How simple rhythms now hold the business together, including weekly meetings, clear roles, and a 90-day operational focus    If you know your business could handle more, but not the way it's currently being run, this conversation will give you a clearer reference point for the next shift.    Ben and Kate, thank you for sharing what leadership looks like when it's intentional, well-timed, and anchored in long-term thinking. The clarity you've built into your roles, your team, and your systems is a benchmark for what's possible when committed leaders give good decisions the space to compound.    Cass, thank you for walking alongside Ben and Kate as their coach. The decisions, structure, and confidence reflected here show what's possible when farm businesses are supported, not left to figure it out alone.  Sincerely,     Jeremy Hutchings & the Farm Owners Academy Team

Many high performers still stay in a cycle they created themselves. They look successful, but they are tired because they are the only ones doing the work.That is the difference between being an operator and being an owner. Operators do all the heavy lifting, and the moment they stop, the income stops.One reason this happens is that leaders always need to be helpful. It feels good to have the answers and to jump in and help a team member close a deal. But every time you do the work for someone else, you are stopping them from growing. You are teaching them to depend on you.In this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos shares how a leader transforms from being an operator to an owner through leadership strategies.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Encouraging self-reliance in your teamLeveraging team success without you operating 100%Shifting from operator to owner in network marketingCreating a safe environment for the team to empower growthBalazs wants you to teach your team how to apply what you've trained them in. When someone asks for help, encourage them to share what they have tried so far. This approach encourages team members to work towards solving their own problems before asking for help.In addition to the royalty model in network marketing, you share all your experience and insights with your team without holding back.

Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.3 dropped within minutes of each other, and we're breaking down what this means for the future of AI work. In this episode, we unpack Opus 4.6's million-token context window (if you've got billies in the bank), why Codex's pricing makes it nearly impossible to ignore for agentic loops, and the real cost of running agents for 24 hours ($10K, apparently). We dive deep into why coding-optimized models are secretly crushing it at non-coding tasks, the mental fatigue of managing AI workers, and whether the chatbot era is actually fading or just evolving.

The Operator's Guide to AI Tool Selection (Before Your CEO Buys Another One) Your entrepreneur is excited about another AI tool, but before you add it to your tech stack, you need to know this: MIT research shows that 95% of AI investments have produced zero returns at the company level.  The Salesforce disaster is the perfect case study: they laid off 4,000 employees to pivot to AI (after promising it wouldn't impact jobs), then had to pivot back when the large language models proved unreliable and experienced drift.  As operators and Seconds-In-Command, you're fielding these AI tool requests constantly, but most SMBs aren't ready for agentic AI or even vibe-coded applications that pose serious security risks (60% of businesses shut down after a cyber attack). In this episode, host Megan Long covers some basic frameworks and points of skepticism to be aware of before adopting any AI tool - agentic or vide-coded.  Beyond ROI concerns, there are real ethical considerations. Being intentional about AI tool selection isn't just about avoiding wasted budget; it's about building efficiencies responsibly without compromising security or causing harm. You'll hear all about: 00:29 - Introduction: The plethora of AI tools promising the world and how operators are fielding these from excited CEOs 00:59 - Origin story: Second First Mastermind quarterly cohort meetings and how vendor selection became a hot topic 01:49 - The 6 critical questions to ask before purchasing any software or tool (pull up your notes app!) 02:57 - The overwhelming answer: Yes, we've all wasted significant time and money on failed software purchases 03:14 - The AI reality check: MIT research shows 95% of AI investments have produced zero returns 03:36 - The nuance: Individuals find personal efficiencies, but company-level P&L shows no benefits 03:45 - Surprising finding: Most AI investments go to Sales & Marketing instead of Operations 03:59 - Salesforce case study: Laid off 4,000 employees for AI, then had to pivot back when it failed 04:40 - Vibe coding concerns: Security and compliance risks when beginners code their own apps 05:18 - The scary stat: 60% of businesses shut down following a cyber attack 05:43 - What is agentic AI and why it sounds so promising (systems that act autonomously on your behalf) 06:14 - Why most SMBs aren't ready: Clean your house before inviting the AI guest over 06:52 - Four guidelines for selecting AI tools: Start low-cost, tie to value creation, plan to scale, use KYA framework 08:11 - The Know Your Agent (KYA) framework: Capability, behaviors, decision tracing, abuse prevention, sandboxes, and human overrides 09:15 - Soapbox moment: Using AI ethically and understanding why people are anti-AI 09:50 - The creative industry impact: Animation directors, musicians, and the elimination of royalties 10:27 - Other ethical concerns: Deepfakes, surveillance, misinformation, environmental harm in rural communities   Rate, review & follow on Apple Podcasts Click Here to Listen!

The 2014 unsolved murder of D'Lisa Kelley has raised serious questions about investigative decisions and accountability.In this episode, I explore the timeline of her case and the concerns surrounding the law enforcement response. The investigation draws additional scrutiny due to the involvement of a Dallas police sergeant who was later connected to the controversial 2016 death of Tony Timpa, a man who died while restrained by officers during a call for help. The overlap between these cases raises difficult but necessary questions about oversight, responsibility, and how repeated controversies can impact public trust and justice outcomes.If you have any information about the murder of D'Lisa Kelley, you can call the North Texas Crime Commission at 877-373-8477   or visit their website to submit a tip  at www.ntcc.crimestoppersweb.comConnect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for Tragedy with a View:Hosted by Kayla, Tragedy with a View is an outdoor lover's podcast for those who love true tales of tragic loss and unbelievable survival involving the wilderness, wildlife and weather. Listen hereFor a full list of soures, visit botdpod.comBarry, A.

In this episode, I explore the concept of the Multiplier CEO and how this leadership model differs from the traditional, operationally driven approach. I share why sustainable growth requires a mindset shift from doing everything yourself to empowering and developing the people around you. As businesses scale, leaders who invest in their teams reduce micromanagement, relieve burnout, and unlock collective performance. I also announce a free training for CEOs focused on overcoming burnout and building businesses that thrive without constant founder involvement. This episode is an invitation to adopt the multiplier mindset for long-term, scalable success. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:55 Shift from Operator to Multiplier 2:55 The Role of a CEO Coach 4:17 Developing Leadership Across the Company 4:56 Upcoming Free Training Invitation From Operator to Multiplier CEO Most CEOs approach growth by working harder, refining strategy, or hiring more people. While these tactics can create short-term gains, they often lead to burnout, time scarcity, and rising costs. Operator-style leadership eventually hits a ceiling; there are only so many hours in a day, and only so much energy to give. True, sustainable growth requires a different lens. The real constraint isn't effort, strategy, or headcount, it's how the CEO shows up as a leader. What Multiplier CEOs Do Differently A Multiplier CEO shifts focus from "What can I do?" to "How do I engage and develop my team?" Instead of solving every problem personally, they build alignment, strengthen leadership systems, and empower others to make decisions. This mindset allows the business to grow beyond the founder. Small improvements come from working harder, but long-term, scalable growth comes from multiplying the capability and ownership of the entire organization. Building Leadership That Scales Multiplier CEOs intentionally develop leaders across the company so the business no longer depends on a single hero. They create shared leadership language, accountability systems, and decision-making frameworks that enable people to lead confidently. When leadership is distributed, CEOs regain space to think strategically, step away when needed, and avoid burnout. This episode isn't a how-to; it's an invitation to reflect. If growth feels heavy or burnout is creeping in, it may be time to embrace the multiplier shift. Key Takeaways Sustainable growth doesn't come from working harder it comes from multiplying leadership and capability across your team. Operator-style leadership creates short-term gains but eventually leads to burnout, time constraints, and rising costs. Multiplier CEOs shift their focus from solving problems themselves to engaging, developing, and empowering others. Hiring alone is not leverage; leadership systems, alignment, and accountability create true scale. Businesses that grow beyond the founder are built by developing leaders at every level—not by relying on a single hero.

John Casmon interviews Reed Goossens, who reflects on more than a decade in multifamily investing and how market cycles, technology, and investor behavior have reshaped the business. Reid explains how the long stretch of cheap debt and rapid appreciation masked operational risk, and why today's environment demands far greater discipline around underwriting, expense control, and asset management. The conversation dives into rising operating costs, insurance inflation, labor challenges, and why the idea of “set it and forget it” investing no longer applies. Reid shares how increased competition and tighter margins have pushed his firm to underwrite significantly more deals while becoming more selective in what they buy. He emphasizes that staying active in the market and deeply familiar with real operating data is now essential to avoiding mispriced risk. Reid also discusses expanding beyond multifamily into acquiring CPA and accounting firms, explaining how private-equity fundamentals like KPIs, systems, culture, and cash flow translate across industries. This matters because transaction-driven income has become less reliable, and operators increasingly need complementary cash-flow businesses to stabilize their platforms while continuing to invest in real estate.

Josh Burton spent 23 years in U.S. Army Special Operations, serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment, Regimental Reconnaissance Detachment (RRD), and as a Delta Force Operator. Today, he's the founder of Elevated Operator, which makes organic wellness products focused on enhancing mental well-being. In this interview, we cover the psychology of taking life and how it changed his outlook on humanity, the Maduro raid in Venezuela, Billy Lavigne, Syria, and the personal cost of war — including trauma, mental health, and what it takes to move forward.Show Sponsors:Upgrade your wardrobe and save on True Classic at https://trueclassic.com/DALTONFind your forever cookware @hexclad and get 10% off at https://hexclad.com/DALTONGo to https://hellofresh.com/DALTON10FM to Get 10 free meals + a free Zwilling Knife (a $144.99 value) on your third boxTry Tasty Gains Creatine Gummies- https://tastygains.com/products/bogo-c?ref=DALTONFISCHERJosh's Links:Website: https://www.elevatedoperator.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/theelevatedoperator/00:00 | Intro02:00 | Shooting06:10 | Pistols08:22 | Funny Brent Tucker Story10:42 | Childhood29:17 | Profile The Unit Looks For31:01 | Ability to Switch Gears Mentally37:52 | Killing58:39 | RRD01:12:13 | First Kill01:33:55 | SEAL Team 601:45:32 | Big Missions in the News01:50:47 | Delta Selection02:06:02 | OTC02:18:13 | Skull & Brain When Shot02:22:14 | Hand to Hand02:25:46 | Intuition on Target02:31:21 | Dogs02:36:15 | Billy Lavigne03:05:15 | Venezuela/ Maduro Operation03:10:19 | Delta Revealed in the News Immidiately03:16:45 | CIA Intel03:24:20 | NY Post Article on Energy Weapon Used by Delta Force in Maduro Raid03:29:56 | Regime Change Implications03:41:52 | Syria03:51:41 | Mental Health04:18:36 | Elevated Operator04:26:18 | Outro

In this episode, we unpack the viral open-source AI assistant that's taken over the internet what it actually does, why everyone's losing their minds, and whether it's worth the $750/day token bills some users are racking up. We dive deep into why locally-run skills and CLI tools are beating computer-use clicking, how smaller models like GPT-5 Mini are crushing it in agentic workflows, and why the real magic is in targeted context - not massive swarms. Plus: Kimi K2.5 drops as a near-Sonnet-level model at 1/10th the price, we debate whether SaaS is dead, and yes – there are TWO Kimi K2.5 diss tracks. One made by Opus pretending to be Kimi.
