JB White opens this episode of RattlerGator Report by reflecting on Charlie Kirk's legacy, praising his courage to confront hard truths and inspire young Americans. He ties Kirk's murder to a broader cultural sickness and warns against naivety in a world where radicals exploit confusion and identity struggles to recruit killers. JB calls for full accountability, including charges against those who may have manipulated shooter Tyler Robinson, while reminding listeners that agency and responsibility cannot be excused. The show then takes aim at Candace Owens, Pam Bondi, and others he feels are missing the bigger picture, stressing that Trump and his team are playing a long strategic game against entrenched enemies. With commentary on Utah's cultural battles, trans activism, Israel's City of David project, and Marco Rubio's growing stature, JB urges his audience to resist “New York disease,” stop underestimating Trump, and remain force multipliers in the fight ahead. Passionate, blunt, and uncompromising, this episode blends faith, politics, and strategy into a call to hold fast.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast host Troy Trewin interviews Justin Snyder, founder of Forest Superfoods, who turned a $250 idea into a global health brand. He shares how his passion for nutrition and persistence led to 350,000+ orders and 25% annual growth. Justin opens up about the early struggles, the lessons learned in e-commerce, and how building a small but dedicated team of 10 fueled his success. He discusses the importance of customer trust, product quality, and word-of-mouth growth in scaling a business. Listeners will gain powerful insights into resilience, sales focus, and creating long-term business impact. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Justin Snyder said that the hardest thing in growing a small business is knowing what to do next. He explained that making the right decision at the right time is critical, because the wrong move can set the business back. Over 20 years of experience taught him to step back, look at things from a bird's-eye view, and carefully decide the next logical step for growth. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Justin Snyder shared that his favorite business book is “Unreasonable Hospitality” by Will Guidara, which he loved because it highlights the power of going to extremes to please and wow customers. He also mentioned another impactful read from his younger years, “What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School” by Mark H. McCormack, which had a profound influence on his business mindset. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Justin Snyder recommends the Founders Podcast for its inspiring stories of entrepreneurs across history that remain highly relevant today. He highlights how hearing about their obsession with being exceptional motivates him to push boundaries. Justin also values business and marketing books, such as Unreasonable Hospitality and What They Don't Teach You at Harvard Business School. For daily learning, he listens to hours of podcasts and reads articles to sharpen his skills. He believes that continuous exposure to these resources fuels innovation and helps small business owners grow with focus and resilience. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Justin Snyder recommends keeping things simple and focusing on tools that truly move the needle for small business growth. For him, the most valuable “resource” has been a lean mindset – taking consistent daily action to grow, maintaining operational control, and prioritizing product quality over flashy systems. He stresses that even without outside funding or expensive software, small businesses can thrive by using practical tools like integrated order management systems, building customer trust through branding, and always focusing on sales and marketing as the core drivers of growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Justin Snyder said that if he could give himself advice on day one of starting his business, it would be to use time wisely. In the early days, he often spent hours on small website tweaks or tasks that didn't materially impact growth, simply because he thought he had to work nine-to-five like a regular job. Looking back, he wishes he had focused more on activities that truly moved the business forward, like reaching new customers and driving sales. His advice is to always prioritize the tasks that create real growth, rather than getting lost in busy work.

A lot of people think that sex is just easy for men. But it’s not. A heck of a lot of guys are walking around with sexual anxiety and are worried about their body and/or performance. This can eat away at men's confidence, leading them to avoid sex, or to have sex that's less than pleasurable. In today’s show, we’re going to talk about how to build confidence in the bedroom and bust some common myths about male sexuality. I'm joined once again by Dr. Joshua Gonzalez, a board-certified urologist who is fellowship-trained in Sexual Medicine. He is a Sexual Health Advisor to Astroglide Lubricants, and one of the co-founders of the sexual wellness brand Popstar, which creates science-backed products to support male sexual health and pleasure. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What does it really men to be “sexually confident?” How do popular myths about male sexuality inhibit men’s confidence in the bedroom? Is more testosterone really the key to more confidence? What can men do if they want to increase their sexual stamina? When should you see a professional about sexual performance concerns? You can visit Joshua’s website to learn more about his work. Got a sex question?

Are you tired of the old-school sales mantras that feel pushy and inauthentic? In a recent interview, sales and leadership coach Sue Heilbronner introduced a groundbreaking concept that's changing the game: Passionate Ambivalence. This isn't about being indifferent; it's about being genuinely enthusiastic about your product (passion) while maintaining a healthy detachment from any single outcome (ambivalence).

Simon discusses the benefits of joint venturing with property owners, highlighting how investors can make significant profits without using their own money. He presents a practical example involving a mastermind student who collaborated with a landowner and a financier to develop a piece of land into specialised supported housing, potentially yielding substantial returns. Additionally, learn about creative financing strategies, such as purchase options, which allow for quicker transactions and avoidance of stamp duty KEY TAKEAWAYS Joint venturing with property owners allows investors to make significant profits without using their own money, avoid stamp duty, and complete transactions much faster than traditional property purchases. Building a strong network in the property industry is essential for success. The more connections you have, the more opportunities you can create for joint ventures and finding potential deals. Actively seeking out abandoned or empty properties in your local area can lead to lucrative off-market deals, where there is less competition compared to properties listed for sale. Investing in personal education and collaborating with knowledgeable partners can enhance your ability to identify and execute profitable property deals, making joint ventures more effective. BEST MOMENTS "You can make a lot of money investing in property using none of your own money." "If you keep doing it, it absolutely works." "Because you're not actually buying the property, you can do the transaction much, much quicker." "With off market property deals, you have no competition at all." "Grow your network, invest in yourself, educate yourself, and these opportunities are out there."

For today's consumers, sustainability is an expectation rather than a luxury, according to PA Consulting's latest Brand Impact Index. In other words, companies that haven't invested in minimizing their brands' impact on the environment are at risk of being left behind. “But it's ok to get it wrong sometimes too,” notes PA's personalization and consumer expert, Rhea Patten, in this episode of HBW Insight's Over the Counter podcast. And maybe for smaller brands, being a staller rather than a shaper may also make strategic, short-term sense, as long as consumers can understand that sustainability is their long-term goal. Don't mis the first part of this interview with Patten, in which we discussed, among other things, what “vibes” are and how understanding this aspect of “consumer centricity” better can help consumer health companies grow their brands. Timestamps 2:00 – Do consumers still want sustainable brands? 8:00 – Will consumers forgive sustainability missteps? 10:00 – Will consumers pay more for sustainable brands? 13:00 – Is better to be a sustainability shaper or staller? 15:30 – Final thoughts Guest Bio Rhea Patten is a consumer product expert at PA Consulting, with expertise in health, beauty, and wellness. She has over 20 years' experience in leading innovation and transformation projects in the consumer products and retail sector. Passionate about bridging physical products with digital experiences, Patten helps leaders deliver solutions that drive business growth. She specializes in accelerating product innovation, with a focus on strategy, customer-centricity, and sustainability.

CTO Series: Toni Sallanmaa on Scaling Engineering Teams and Aligning Tech with Business Goals In this BONUS episode, we explore the journey of scaling technology teams and maintaining alignment between engineering and business objectives with Toni Sallanmaa, CTO at Funidata. Toni shares invaluable insights from leading the development of Sisu, a cutting-edge student information system serving over 100,000 Finnish university users, and discusses practical strategies for growing engineering organizations while preserving company culture. The Genesis of Leadership in Technology "I understood what I was really responsible for. I'm interested in the business we are running—the business adds meaning to the work." Toni's approach to technology leadership was fundamentally shaped by a pivotal moment early in his career when he first gained influence over system development and technology choices. After working with large-scale systems for 20 years, this moment of responsibility revelation transformed his perspective from purely technical to business-focused. He emphasizes that infinite curiosity drives success in tech businesses, and understanding the business context gives meaningful purpose to technical work. Bridging the Gap Between Tech and Product "Don't separate Tech from Product. We established a common language between product and technology people." One of Toni's most significant insights centers on eliminating the traditional divide between technology and product teams. As Funidata grew from a small startup to a 70-person organization, the challenges of maintaining alignment became apparent. Their solution involved several key practices: Teaching developers the language of the product domain  Banning confusing technical terms that create communication barriers Workshopping product language to ensure clarity Keeping entity names deliberately vague until true understanding emerges This approach draws heavily from Domain Driven Design principles, creating a unified vocabulary that enables seamless collaboration. Collaborative Planning and Transparency "We use transparency as a collaboration technique. Every team sees what's being proposed as a goal for the next quarter." Funidata implements a unique "marketplace of goals" approach during their quarterly big room planning sessions. Rather than using scaled agile frameworks, they focus on transparency and collaborative goal-setting. Teams present their high-level quarterly plans to each other, creating visibility across the organization. Product owners are embedded within teams, keeping communication distances short and ensuring alignment between technical execution and business objectives. Future-Forward Roadmapping "We talk about the higher level ideas regularly, but let them bubble up from the community. We hold internal hackathons." Toni's approach to roadmapping balances strategic vision with grassroots innovation. They maintain an internal technology roadmap that addresses emerging trends like AI, while allowing ideas to organically emerge from the engineering community. Internal hackathons serve as catalysts for innovation, providing structured opportunities for teams to explore new technologies and approaches that might inform future roadmap decisions. Scaling Challenges and Cultural Preservation "The biggest challenge is not technology, it was the rapid scaling of technology teams. When you scale up, keep the culture in mind." The most significant challenge Toni faced wasn't technical but organizational—rapidly scaling teams while preserving company culture. Growing from 10 to 50 people required evolving processes, from establishing internal forums for architectural discussions to implementing continuous integration flows. The key was identifying pain points proactively and maintaining open discussions with team members throughout the scaling process. Strengthening company culture became essential to successful growth. AI's Impact on Software Development "Productivity is on the rise. We see opportunities like generating test data, but we have strict requirements for cybersecurity, which puts pressure on code quality." Toni views AI's impact on software development with cautious optimism. While productivity gains are evident, particularly in areas like test data generation, the stringent cybersecurity requirements in their domain mean that AI hasn't yet significantly improved code quality where it matters most. The technology shows promise, but implementation must be carefully considered within the context of security and quality requirements. Measuring Engineering Success "We use DORA and SPACE framework. We measure how much of our work is KTLO (Keep The Lights On) and how much is elective development." Funidata employs both DORA and SPACE frameworks to measure engineering organization success. From SPACE, they particularly focus on measuring software team wellbeing, while also tracking the balance between "Keep The Lights On" (KTLO) work and elective development. Using JIRA connected to a data warehouse, they mine extensive data that serves both leadership decision-making and team improvement efforts, ensuring metrics benefit everyone in the organization. Influential Leadership Resources "The organizational books have been more influential to me than purely technical ones." Toni emphasizes that organizational leadership books have shaped his CTO approach more than technical resources. Two key influences stand out: "Team Topologies" for understanding how to structure and scale engineering teams effectively, and "Radical Candor" for building authentic, productive relationships within the organization. You can find a BONUS episode on Team Topologies with the authors Matthew Skeltton and Manuel Pais. About Toni Sallanmaa Toni leads technology and engineering at Funidata, developing Sisu—a cutting-edge student information system serving over 100,000 Finnish university users. Passionate about agile methodologies, system architecture, and software engineering, Toni specializes in technology management, software lifecycle, OOP, and relational databases to deliver innovative, scalable solutions in higher education tech. You can connect with Toni Sallanmaa on LinkedIn.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Pragya sits down with Diana Daman, certified laser hair removal specialist and founder of Laser by Diana in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Diana shares how skincare is more than a beauty routine—it's a confidence booster that can transform how we feel and show up in the world. From debunking myths about laser hair removal to explaining why personalized treatment plans matter more than trending “Instagram-perfect” looks, Diana opens up about building her business from the ground up, the challenges of gaining clients, and why she prioritizes genuine client relationships over quick sales.

Nick is a rider who proves that passion, persistence, and maybe a touch of stubbornness can take you pretty far—whether that's up a Wasatch climb at sunrise or across the finish line at Leadville. He grew up in Salt Lake City as the oldest of three kids. He earned his Eagle Scout, served an LDS mission in Milan, Italy, earned his Economics degree from the U and MBA from Westminster. He even found time to volunteer at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, supporting the U.S. Olympic Team with athlete services and translation. He's been with Optum for 23 years, working his way up from sales to Director of Business Operations, and I think he'd tell you the reason he's stayed so long is because of the people and relationships. He's been married to his wife, Jennilynn, for 17 years - and she keeps him fueled with plenty of baked goods. He is a proud dad of two (one through fertility treatments and one through adoption), and shares his home with Bella, a 5-year-old St. Bernard who probably weighs more than all of his bikes combined. He's been passionate about sports since he was young. He ran track and cross country, once ran a marathon, finishing in 4hrs and 4 min, and swore ‘never again,' and eventually found his true love in cycling. Since then, he's tackled countless endurance events—multiple century rides, six LOTOJAs, Steamboat Springs Gravel, and most recently, the Leadville 100 MTB. Nick is so grateful for the Mi Duole team. Riding with them has pushed him to grow as a cyclist while also creating meaningful friendships that extend beyond the bike.  Around the house, he's known as the guy who fills the garage with bikes, never stops talking about cycling, and occasionally finishes a project or two in between rides. Passionate, disciplined, and just stubborn enough to keep pushing through the hard stuff is what makes him such a strong rider and a great husband and father.

They get real about the moment Paul stepped down—not from burnout, but from wisdom.  Paul unpacks how they shifted from trying to be the answer for everyone to building a pastoral care system that actually works, and why "ministry is a marathon, not a sprint" changed everything.  Here's what they learned: Passionate leaders don't have to choose between impact and longevity. The best leaders create systems that multiply their influence while protecting what matters most.  Ready to build a ministry that thrives for decades?

Today, I interview Renee Zukin who spent years caught in fear and intrusive thoughts that silenced her voice. For much of her life, anxiety and self-doubt made her question whether she could ever step into leadership or express herself authentically. She carried the weight of comparison, believing that courage belonged only to those who could do the big, bold things she thought she couldn't.Her turning point came when she redefined bravery. Instead of measuring herself against others, she began to see that courage could be found in the smallest steps — getting out of bed, showing up for work, or speaking honestly in the moment. That shift allowed her to reclaim her sense of worth and begin showing up in her life with more authenticity and compassion.Over time, Renee committed to the inner work, embraced mentors, and put her story into the world. She discovered that she didn't need to be “fixed” to move forward — every step of bravery became part of her healing and part of her voice.Today, she is an author, coach, and educator. Through her book Every Day I'm Brave, she shares her story along with journal prompts that guide others to reflect, find awareness, and take their own brave steps toward reclaiming their voice.__________________Renee Zukin is an author, educator, coach, and mental health advocate committed to doing the inner work that creates outer change.
