Podcasts about optimizing

A warlock, a podcaster, and a spider walk into a subclass draft. Guess which one survives? Tired of forgetting what Tyler said about multiclassing back in 2021? Want to relive the glory days of your favorite hot takes, Warlock rants, and deeply cursed jokes? Good news! RPGBOT.net is proud to announce that archived episodes of the RPGBOT.Podcast are now available on YouTube. That's right—every mispronounced spell, every wizard tangent, every moment of Tyler realizing he's said something horrible is now visually accessible. Search “RPGBOT Podcast” on YouTube and hit that play button like it owes you an Eldritch Invocation. A huge thanks to our guest, Gabe Greenspan — actor, writer, professional chaos gremlin, and the only person brave enough to optimize Warlocks and still talk about MySpace unironically. Gabe's insight runs as deep as his playlist is unhinged, and if you enjoyed this episode, you need to check out his other work: Total Party Skill – where razor-sharp theorycraft collides with chaotic actual play Tabletop Tunes – the ultimate soundtrack for your bard, your boss fights, or your brooding warlock vibes Because let's be honest—every optimized Warlock deserves a killer theme song and a guest appearance from someone cooler than their DM. Episode Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew dives headfirst into the infernal depths of Warlock optimization using the 2024 D&D rules—and they bring backup. Special guest Gabe Greenspan, co-host of Total Party Skill, joins Tyler, Randall, and Ash for a warlock subclass draft with high stakes, dark bargains, and more tactical wizardry than your average infernal patron would allow. The team begins with an inside look at their podcast dynamics (spoiler: there's a countdown and Tyler's fear of spiders) before summoning Gabe to the virtual table. What follows is a strategic subclass showdown where each host selects Warlock builds using the updated 2024 rules. Along the way, they explore new features like Magical Cunning, enhanced invocations like Agonizing Blast (yes, you can double dip), and freshly buffed staples like Fiendish Vigor. They highlight the tactical benefits of spells like Bane, Fairy Fire, and Protection from Evil and Good, while also emphasizing the narrative fun of backgrounds, species, and Awakened Mind-fueled party banter. If you've ever wanted to optimize a Warlock who can hide in plain sight, strike fear into the hearts of fiends, and psychically text their party mid-fight, this episode's for you. Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt Sublime (the band) Key Takeaways Gabe Greenspan brings big optimizer energy and podcast finesse to the table. Tyler really hates spiders. Like, a lot. You can take Agonizing Blast more than once in the 2024 rules, and yes, it's worth it. Fiendish Vigor got a glow-up and now comes preloaded with better survivability. Bane is lowkey busted now—enemy saves are easier to tank in the new rules. Invisibility-on-demand is real, thanks to improved invocations. Warlocks can now customize their playstyle far more than in previous editions. Party synergy matters, especially when everyone is making dark deals for spell slots. Spell selection is more important than ever, with crowd control and tactical choices front and center. The team shares character backstories that range from whimsical to unhinged (looking at you, TORTAL). Character drafts are a great way to explore subclass features in a fun and collaborative format.

 Perfectionism is a big problem in the cleaning industry. It took me over 15 minutes to say it in the podcast. It's really not that complex. Perfection is working hard to make YOU as happy as possible and you may never get there. Excellence is working hard to make THE CUSTOMER as happy as possible and you absolutely can get there.How do you know if you've made them as happy as possible? You ask them how you've done. I consult with cleaning company owners all over the country and so many struggle with perfectionism. It cost them time, which equals money and profit. I believe that Perfectionism and Excellence are on opposite sides of the same spectrum. You've got to work to the best that you can. but doing it with excellence is different than doing it with perfection. Your customer will feel the difference and so will your bank account!

Sometimes, to reach a solution, we must take unfamiliar paths.  In the early 1940s, a brilliant mathematician named Abraham Wald left his homeland in Hungary fleeing the spectre of war. He moved to the United States, and became part of a team at Columbia University tasked in 1942 with an aspect of the war where the Allies were losing badly to the Nazis. It involved the many Allied planes that would leave from England but never return to their bases, having been shot down somewhere over Europe. These B‑17 and B‑24 bombers had 10-man crews, weighed up to 30-32 tonnes, had wingspans of 100-110 feet, and were defended by machine guns planted along the plane's entire length. Despite all this, they would lose planes every day, presumably because they'd taken enemy fire and  either crashed during their campaign or as they headed back over the English Channel.  Wald's team had to determine how to minimize bomber losses. They had been poring over aircraft returning from missions, mapping out the distribution of bullet holes across their fuselages. Their plan seemed logical — reinforce the areas with the most damage. But Wald saw what others missed. Wald realized their sample set of data represented the survivors — the aircraft that had taken hits and still managed to return safely. There were other planes they weren't examining, ones at the bottom of the channel or in occupied territory, that didn't  make it back. This lack of data could be biasing them to look at the problem backward. The planes they couldn't sample could have  been struck in areas that were more critical. Maybe the fact they were hit in those vulnerable spots was the reason behind them crashing and that the lack of damage in those spots on the surviving bombers simply meant they'd been lucky! the returning planes weren't the rule, they were the exception.  Having flipped the problem around, the planes received reinforcements where the damage must be catastrophic, and from them on many more B17s and B24s completed their missions, helping the allies to victory in Europe. Some people call what Wald showed intuition, but that's not what saved the allied bombers. Even though his approach seemed counterintuitive, data guided Wald to the solution.  This is Funnel Reboot, the podcast for analytically-minded marketers. Today's episode goes outside our comfort zone, showing statistical tools in the hopes we'll get a bit more comfortable using them. Our guest today is someone who uses the same kind of critical reasoning - and statistics - to make sense of their product marketing problems. He is both someone who implements analytics tools, having configured over 500 sites, and one who posts prolifically about what he's learned. He has also taught analytics at several New York colleges, and speaks at regional MeasureCamp events. After earning his MBA from Pennsylvania Western University, he spent about 20 years in corporate analytics. Then in 2017 with the support of his wife and three daughters, he set up his own firm, Albany Analytics. Listen now as he teaches you some tools that might help in your own marketing programs. Let's now go hear from Ateeq Ahmad. Note: Links to everything mentioned in the show are on the Funnel Reboot site's page for this episode.

Today, we're delighted to welcome back a longtime friend of the show, Russ Dieringer.  He's here to share key insights from Stratably's latest research, diving into how brands are navigating content optimization for Rufus and the evolving landscape of AI-driven search. Tune in to find out more!   KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, and Russ discuss: Russ shares his own experience as an Amazon shopper using Rufus, noting its usefulness for browsing and specific queries, but also highlighting that most everyday shoppers aren't aware of Rufus by name. Stratable's survey included 286 brands and agencies, focusing mainly on mid-sized and enterprise consumer brands, to understand industry attitudes and actions towards AI optimization. Despite AI being the industry buzzword, only 12% of brands and 20% of agencies have taken concrete steps to optimize product detail pages for Rufus. There's a lot of talk, but relatively little action so far. A major barrier is a lack of clarity from Amazon about how Rufus works and what specifically brands should do to optimize for it. Many brands are still trying to perfect basic search optimization, let alone adapt to the new AI layer, with content under-resourcing being an ongoing issue. Evaluating the impact of AI-oriented content changes is tough—only about a quarter of those who have made changes report a positive effect, and tracking the influence of AI touchpoints (like review summaries) is still a gray area. Russ recommends a balanced approach: don't ignore AI advancements or drop everything to chase the trend. Instead, start testing and learning now, so your brand can adapt as best practices and clearer measurement tools emerge. The episode closes with an emphasis on curiosity, experimentation, and the reality that there's no perfect playbook—brands should embrace the unknown and be proactive in learning as the ecosystem evolves.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Are Brands Actually Updating PDPs for Rufus?

This week on the show, we're discussing the specifics of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) as we head into the second half of 2025. Whether you're approaching your first year of RMDs or have been taking them for a while, I break down everything you need to know, from when you need to start taking distributions based on your birth year, to how RMDs are calculated, which accounts are affected, and the potential tax consequences for missing a withdrawal. I'm also sharing eight practical strategies you can use to lower your future RMDs, including asset diversification, Roth conversions, tax-efficient income planning, optimizing Social Security timing, and even using charitable contributions to your advantage. With real-world examples and actionable tips, this episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone looking to navigate their retirement withdrawals as tax-efficiently as possible.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [02:48] Calculating your Required Minimum Distribution. [05:02] IRA distribution factors & penalties. [10:40] Retirement tax strategy tips. [13:35] IRA conversion tax planning. [15:37] Optimizing social security timing. [18:48] Tax-efficient investment account strategy. Smart Strategies to Manage Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)  New rules over the past few years have pushed back when retirees must start taking RMDs. As of today: If you were born in 1959 or earlier, your RMDs begin at age 73. If you were born in 1960 or later, the threshold moves to age 75. RMDs apply to traditional IRAs, rollover IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and most employer-sponsored plans, including 401(k)s and 403(b)s. Importantly, Roth IRAs are not subject to these mandatory withdrawals during the owner's lifetime, providing an attractive planning opportunity. How RMDs Are Calculated Your annual RMD is determined by dividing the prior year's December 31 retirement account balance by a life expectancy factor from IRS tables. Most people use the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table. If your spouse is more than 10 years younger, you get a slightly lower withdrawal requirement by using the Joint Life Expectancy Table. For example, if you are 73 with a $500,000 IRA, and the IRS factor is 26.5, your RMD would be $18,868 for that year. If you miss your RMD, penalties can be steep, 25% of the amount not withdrawn, though if corrected within two years, the penalty drops to 10%. RMDs are generally taxed as ordinary income. If your IRA contains after-tax contributions, those aren't taxed again, but careful tracking is essential. The key is smart, proactive planning. RMDs increase your total taxable income, which can impact not just your IRS bill, but also Medicare premiums (thanks to the “IRMAA” surcharge) and eligibility for certain state tax breaks. Eight Strategies to Lower RMD Impact Here are several tactics to help retirees minimize RMDs' sting and keep more of their wealth working for them: Diversify Account Types Early Don't keep all retirement savings in pre-tax accounts. Consider a mix of pre-tax, Roth, and taxable brokerage accounts so you have flexibility in retirement to optimize withdrawals for tax purposes. Build an Optimized Retirement Income Plan Work with a financial advisor or CPA to design an intentional strategy for sourcing retirement income. With careful planning, you can potentially lower how much tax you'll owe and avoid unwelcome surprises. Do Roth Conversions When Taxes Are Low If you retire before collecting Social Security (and RMDs), you might have years of low taxable income, prime time to convert part of your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA at a low tax rate. Once in the Roth, future qualified withdrawals are tax-free. Delay Social Security for Strategic Reasons Delaying Social Security not only increases your monthly benefit but also gives you more low-income years for Roth conversions, thus reducing future RMDs. Consider Working Longer If you continue working past RMD age and participate in your employer's retirement plan, you may be able to delay RMDs from that plan until you retire (as long as you don't own more than 5% of the company). Aggregate and Simplify Accounts Roll over old 401(k) accounts into a single IRA if eligible. It's easier to track, calculate, and satisfy RMDs, reducing the risk of costly missteps. Optimize Asset Location Hold faster-growing investments (like stocks) in taxable accounts and slower-growing ones (like bonds) in IRAs. This helps slow the growth of your RMD-producing accounts, keeping future required withdrawals smaller. Use Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) Once you're RMD-eligible, you can send up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA to charity. It will count toward your RMD but won't be taxed, potentially a win-win for you and your favorite causes.
