Krysta Jones, founder of The High Country Girls and leader of The Highly Connected, shares the real-world playbook for building cannabis brands that endure. From her organic start in Colorado to expanding across the U.S., Krysta explains how authentic community and a sharp focus on niche can beat broad, hype-driven marketing. Learn how to cultivate a tribe of rabid fans, leverage events and grassroots strategies, and build a personal brand that delivers a consistent customer experience. The conversation covers participation over pursuit, running events with intentional follow-through, and measuring success through data, CRM, and post-event engagement. Krysta breaks down the unit economics of events, budgeting guidance (a starting point of five to ten thousand dollars monthly in marketing), and how to scale without diluting impact. She also explains how she collaborates with mom-and-pop brands, public companies, and investors, and how The Highly Connected helps pair the right partners for long-term value. If you're a cannabis brand, retailer, or marketer aiming to grow sustainably, this episode offers a practical framework for community-building, profitable partnerships, and lasting growth.Thanks to your support, we've been nominated for the Emjays for Content Creator of the Year!

Episode 108: Michael Batnick is the Managing Partner at Ritholtz Wealth Management, where he helps shape one of the most influential RIAs in the country while also co-hosting popular podcasts like Animal Spirits. Known for his candor and curiosity, Michael brings a refreshing perspective to investing, leadership, and the business of advice. This week, Kyle talks with Michael about his winding path into finance—from drifting through college and struggling in sales to finding purpose in markets and mentorship. Michael reflects on the lessons of curiosity, humility, and hiring the right people, while unpacking the challenges of building a sustainable RIA. The conversation spans advisor recruitment, the pull of private equity, operational hurdles, tech frustrations, and AI's coming role in reshaping client service.  In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:17) - Michael's money moment (04:38) - From cold calling to discovering a passion for the markets (10:06) - Michael's hiring philosophy (13:35) - Ritholtz acquisition strategy (14:49) - The influence of private equity on RIAs (19:02) - What makes Ritholtz an excellent choice for advisors (24:28) - What it takes to run support infrastructure for advisors (28:41) - Ritholtz's tech stack (33:30) - Mystery chart challenge (35:56) - Michael's thoughts on AI and the future of the industry (44:14) - Michael's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Hire for personality, not just the resume.  Skills can be taught, but finding someone you actually want to work with every day is irreplaceable.  Don't underestimate the power of a strong brand and organic growth. Organic reach and sustainable growth allow firms to hire advisors who are philosophically aligned with their values, rather than those who are simply motivated by an upfront payout. The best advisors are the best listeners. Over-talking is a rookie mistake. Clients value being heard more than being dazzled with facts. AI will make advisors better listeners. Real-time feedback and conversation analysis will help advisors catch missed cues and improve client relationships. Quotes "Things change a lot, they change always, and they change often. And I didn't want to be an expert on an earlier version of the world. The world is a dynamic place, and you need to stay involved in what's going on." ~ Michael Batnick "The job of an advisor is very difficult. It is to be a listener first." ~ Michael Batnick  "Younger advisors tend to oversell and overcommunicate. It's not about you convincing the prospect that you are smarter than they are. The best advisors are the best listeners." ~ Michael Batnick"It's relatively easy to convince clients to give you money. But what's hard is actually executing and implementing and doing the things that you said that you were going to do." ~ Michael Batnick Links  Michael Batnick on LinkedIn Ritholtz Wealth Management Joshua Brown Barry Ritholtz BlackRock Jay Tini Anna Chaiken Nick Maggiulli Salesforce Orion Advisor Solutions Fidelity Investments Charles Schwab Altruist VRGL Wealth.com T3 Conferences Envestnet | MoneyGuide eMoney Advisor The Godfather Animal Spirits Podcast Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette interviews Remco Nieuwenhuis, a WordPress professional from the Netherlands and founder of WPSupporters and WPoptic. Remco shares his journey from military and police service to tech entrepreneurship, discusses the creation of WP Optic—a fast, accurate browser extension for detecting WordPress themes and plugins—and demonstrates its features live. The conversation covers challenges, future plans, and community involvement, ending with the host encouraging listeners to try WP Optic and announcing a brief podcast break for WordCamp US.Top Takeaways:WPoptic is a fast, WordPress-focused browser extension: Remco Nieuwenhuizen developed WPoptic to quickly detect if a site is built with WordPress, along with its themes and plugins. Unlike broader tools like BuiltWith or Wappalyzer, WPoptic focuses specifically on WordPress and boasts near-instant detection speeds, currently identifying around 17,000 plugins with plans to expand to over 50,000.Development involved overcoming early challenges: The first version of WPoptic was built by an overseas developer but lacked scalability, security, and depth in plugin detection. After receiving feedback from a competitor-turned-collaborator, Remco decided to rebuild the tool from scratch, prioritizing speed, security, and accuracy. This pivot confirmed market demand and improved the product's professional quality.Growth and monetization plans center on data and community: WPoptic has around 800 Chrome users and aims to monetize through features like an export function, AI-assisted plugin detection, and potentially dashboards for plugin developers to track installations and competition. Remco emphasizes organic growth, user feedback, and avoiding heavy reliance on advertising, preferring to fund development through his other business, WPSupporters.Mentioned In The Show:WPopticWaveBuilt WithWPSupportersWappalyzerWPfounders article about Remco NieuwenhuizenElementorWPBakeryDivi

Andreas Voniatis, founder of Arteos and author of "Data-Driven SEO with Python," is revolutionizing the SEO landscape by integrating data science and AI into organic growth strategies. He emphasizes the need for businesses, particularly in the B2B and technology sectors, to move beyond traditional SEO practices that often rely on guesswork. Instead, Fanatis advocates for a math-driven approach that leverages data to ensure that companies can achieve exponential growth in their online visibility and traffic.As the conversation unfolds, Voniatis discusses the significant shift in user behavior from traditional search engines, which typically present a list of links, to AI-driven interactions that provide summarized answers. This evolution poses a challenge for businesses, as they must adapt to a landscape where AI can solve problems directly, potentially bypassing the need for human expertise. Voniatis argues that to remain relevant, companies must prepare for a future where AI not only recommends content but also understands the nuances of their offerings.The discussion also highlights the importance of creating unique, data-rich content that stands out in an increasingly crowded digital space. Voniatis explains that simply producing high-quality content is no longer sufficient; businesses must ensure their content correlates with AI's understanding of truth and relevance. By focusing on proprietary insights and addressing the specific needs of target audiences, companies can differentiate themselves from competitors who rely on generic SEO strategies.Finally, Voniatis outlines key metrics for measuring success in this new SEO paradigm. He emphasizes the importance of tracking both traffic sources and brand searches to gauge the effectiveness of SEO efforts. By blending data science with creative content strategies, businesses can not only improve their search rankings but also enhance their overall brand visibility and engagement in the digital marketplace.

Today, we're headed deep off the beaten path to a forgotten island in Indonesia called Sumba. While it's twice as large as Bali and has only 700,000 inhabitants - Sumba has barely any tourism to the island.  If it's starting to sound TOO remote, don't worry because we uncovered a luxury gem, or as our guest, James McBride, would call it - geographically opulent.  James is the CEO of NIHI Sumba, a gorgeous property on a beautiful swath of beach. But the big draw here is the experiences - from world class surfing, to free diving, to spending special moments with the property's famous horses.  James and I talk about the culture of the island which has persisted for thousands of years, the stunning landscape, and how NIHI's philosophy of organic growth has led to this one of a kind experience.  So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this interesting episode of Luxury Travel Insider.  Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn

Way back in February, thousands of dental technicians gathered in Chicago for the 40th anniversary of LMT Lab Day Chicago. While stationed in the Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Ballroom, we got to talk to many wonderful people that make up our industry. We start this episode with a technician that followed his dentist uncle in Mexico and went to dental technician school. Christopher Hernandez soon found himself making sleep apnea devices for years before finding his new home at Clear Choice doing All-on-X cases. Then we welcome back to the podcast, Greg Everett. Last time we talked to Greg, he was with a company that manufactured milling burs. Now he works on the whole mill with his new company Denteon (https://denteon.com/). Specializing in Roland Mills, Greg provides a service to complete rebuild or repair your mill so you can continue to get your monies worth for years longer than expected. We suggest visiting denteon.com if you have any Roland Mills. We wrap up the episode with Ivoclar's own Joe Braxon. Still talking about mills, but this time exclusively with Ivoclar mills. Joe is responsible for the installation, training, and service for all of the PrograMills. Joe talks about his background, finding Ivoclar, and what sets their mills above the rest. Take it from Laura Prosser, the digital marketing manager for Ivoclar North America (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us). She would like to invite you to start following them on Instagram. It's your chance to obtain exclusive updates on product announcements, industry news, upcoming educational events, and heartwarming stories about our local team and industry professionals. Let's get social together. Simply start following us on Instagram @Ivoclar.na (https://www.instagram.com/ivoclar.na/). We'll see you there. Are you a dental lab in need of more talent to improve your bottom line and keep production on schedule? Are you a dental tech with great skills but feel you're being limited at your current lab?

Host: Welcome to Jr Sparrow's Podcasting Journey, the show where we dive deep into the world of podcasting. I'm your host, Jr Sparrow, and today's episode is all about the evolution of my podcasting journey. [Segment 1: Struggles and Improvements] Host: In the early days, I faced numerous struggles with recording quality. Using platforms like Zoom and the Anchor app, I encountered issues with call drops and poor audio. But I didn't let that deter me. I invested in better microphones and learned about mic positioning to enhance the sound quality of my episodes. [Segment 2: The Editing Process] Host: Editing episodes was a challenge at first, and I admit I released some raw and unedited content. However, I quickly learned about audio plugins, normalization, and auto-leveling techniques to improve the quality of my episodes. I also discovered time-saving techniques like listening to recordings at a faster speed. [Segment 3: Building an Audience] Host: Building an audience and obtaining email addresses became a top priority for me. I implemented various call-to-action strategies to encourage engagement and started using apps like Verbal to collect email addresses. Show notes and media kits became essential tools in promoting my podcast, although some guests were not proactive in providing relevant information. To streamline the process, I started requiring guests to have media kits or one-sheets. [Segment 4: Guest Acquisition] Host: Finding the right guests was crucial for the success of my podcast. I explored platforms like PodMatch, PodcastGuests.com, and Gastio to connect with potential guests within my podcast's niche. I quickly learned the importance of curating guests who align with my target audience to maintain consistent listenership. Series-based episodes, like my popular "Y series" that explores various topics, gained traction and helped retain audience interest. [Segment 5: Content Delivery and Format] Host: I realized the importance of delivering valuable information quickly to my listeners. I adapted my format to shorter episodes, ensuring that the key content was delivered within the first 12 minutes. Thorough research and compelling show notes played a significant role in engaging my audience. I also established a consistent schedule, dedicating specific days for interviews, series-based episodes, and other types of content. [Segment 6: Organic Growth and Future Endeavors] Host: Throughout my journey, I emphasized the value of organic growth and allowing individuals to discover my podcast naturally. While consultants and coaches abound in the podcasting space, I prefer to be sought out by those genuinely interested. Based on my own successes and failures, I recognized the opportunity to create courses in niche areas to help others in their podcasting endeavors. [Closing Thoughts] Host: That wraps up today's episode on the evolution of my podcasting journey. I hope you found value in my experiences and learned some useful tips for your own podcast. As always, thank you for tuning in. Stay tuned for more exciting episodes where we continue to explore the fascinating world of podcasting.
