Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: FILIPENSES 2:12-16 Plano De Leitura Anual: EZEQUIEL 18–19; TIAGO 4  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  Ao chegar à cidade, vi jogos de azar, lojas de cannabis, lojas “só para adultos” e propagandas enormes para advogados oportunistas. Embora eu já tivesse visitado muitas cidades vulgares antes, naquela, o nível parecia baixo demais. Meu humor só melhorou quando falei com um motorista de táxi na manhã seguinte: “Peço a Deus que me envie as pessoas que Ele quer que eu ajude”, disse ele. “Jogadores adictos em jogos de azar, prostitutas, pessoas com lares destruídos contam-me os seus problemas chorando. Daí paro o carro, escuto-os e oro por eles. Este é o meu ministério”. Depois de descrever a vinda de Jesus ao nosso mundo caído (FILIPENSES 2:5-8), Paulo chama a atenção dos cristãos. Ao buscarmos a vontade de Deus (v.13) e nos apegarmos à “mensagem da vida”, o evangelho (v.16), seremos “filhos de Deus […] resplandecentes num mundo cheio de gente corrompida e perversa” que brilham “como luzes resplandecentes” (v.15). Como o motorista de táxi, devemos trazer a luz de Jesus à escuridão. O historiador Christopher Dawson disse que “o cristão só precisa viver com fé para mudar o mundo, pois exatamente no ato de viver “está contido todo o mistério da vida divina”. Peçamos ao Espírito Santo de Deus que nos capacite a viver fielmente como povo de Jesus, refletindo Sua luz nos lugares mais sombrios do mundo.  Por: SHERIDAN VOYSEY

Dharshan Rangegowda, founder of ScaleGrid, left a decade-long engineering career at Microsoft to solve a painful database operations problem he had lived firsthand. After early missteps selling to enterprises, he shifted to helping developers manage MongoDB, Redis, and Postgres on the cloud, bootstrapping the business from scratch. ScaleGrid grew steadily through product depth, technical support, and Dharshan's mastery of SEO—becoming the top organic result for many key searches. The company expanded into multiple database engines, added a distributed engineering team, and reached 20 employees by 2021, serving both SMB developers and some enterprise teams.  Dharshan sold a majority stake to Spotlight Equity Partners during the pandemic after receiving an unsolicited offer, later stepping out of day-to-day operations while remaining on the board.  In this conversation, Dharshan shares hard-earned lessons about product-led growth, support as strategy, SEO as a long-game advantage, and how bootstrapped founders can build meaningful outcomes in massive markets.  Key Takeaways SEO Power: SEO remains a long-term growth engine for bootstrappers because big VC-backed companies rarely have the patience to compound it. Support as Strategy: Deep, responsive technical support became ScaleGrid's differentiator and directly informed product innovation and content. Start at the Edges: Enterprises won't buy from a one-person startup, but edge users with urgent problems will — and they become your early beachhead. Bootstrap Constraints: Founder over-frugality can limit growth; strategic delegation and early team building prevent burnout and plateauing. This Interview Is Perfect For Bootstrap SaaS founders Technical founders selling to developers Founders stuck in early traction or slow growth Anyone considering a PE exit or multi-year acquisition process Quote from Darshan Rangegowda, founder of ScaleGrid "You can't take random people and make them an entrepreneur. You have to want to be an entrepreneur and want to be on your own. You have to enjoy the freedom and the risk and the upside that comes with it and the unmitigated downside as well. You have to accept and be comfortable with it.  "You want to be on your own so you can try things. You are constantly looking at problems and new solutions. You want to be around people who like that sort of process: Here's a new problem and here's a new solution.  "But the most important thing you have to do as an entrepreneur is you have to add value to your customers. And most people forget that."

Russell Milton has had a near 30-year relationship with ( couple of short spells away) Cheltenham Town as player, coach, head of recruitment and caretaker manager. I was loosely familiar with that. But loved hearing about ‘Milts' beginnings as a Kent boy who didn't start playing organised football until the age of 10. He played for Arsenal and, when released by the Gunners, spent a chunk of time playing in Hong Kong and Japan. An effervescent character! Russ is also a qualified PE teacher and he says having that qualification allowed him to have a go at being a pro with Cheltenham when the club went full-time in the 90s. Hope you enjoy this one.Go well and keep moving, Teddy

Ne propunem ca joi sau cel târziu la sfarsitul saptamanii viitoare să declanșăm procedura de angajare a răspunderii pe proiectul privind reforma pensiilor magistraților. Este declaratia premierului Ilie Bolojan la cateva zile dupa ce Coalitia a decis ca judecatorii si procurorii sa primeasca o pensie de 70% din salariul net iar perioada de tranzitie pana la varsta pensionarii sa creasca la 15 ani. Snoop.ro - George Simion a dat un milion de euro pentru o zi de promovare la Realitatea TV Facturile de promovare ale AUR pe postul Realitatea TV au fost considerate neconforme cu legea de Autoritatea Electorală Permanentă care a decis să nu ramburseze partidului peste 17 milioane de lei cheltuiţi în campania pentru alegerile prezidenţiale din 18 mai. Printre facturile nerecunoscute de AEP se află şi una de aproape un milion de euro. O sesizare pe această temă a fost trimisă de Autoritatea Electorala la Parchet, relatează Snoop.ro.                Ucraina şi aliaţii europeni resping părţi esenţiale ale planului de pace negociat între Casa Albă și Kremlin Planul de pace al președintelui Trump pentru Ucraina include o garanție de securitate inspirată din articolul 5 al NATO, care ar obliga SUA și aliații europeni să trateze un atac asupra Ucrainei ca pe un atac asupra întregii „comunități transatlantice”. In schimb. Kievului i se cere sa renunte la bucati din teritoriu, sa-si reduca armata si sa nu adere la Alianta Nord-Atlantica.Pe de alta parte, Donald Trump ameninţă Ucraina cu sistarea ajutorului militar dacă nu acceptă planul de pace. 

Pe final de lună octombrie am putut vedea în cinematografe documentarul "Depeche Mode: M", apoi, luna noiembrie ne-a readus în cinema pentru Queen, un concert din anii '80 înregistrat la Montreal, remasterizat digital la standardele de imagine și sunet ale prezentului. În 4 decembrie urmează un documentar muzical dedicat trupei The Doors. O invitație la cinema ce pune sunetul și muzica înaintea imaginii, invitație din partea lui Ştefăniţă Manea, regizor, producător, distribuitor de film. Chimia dintre patru artiști a făcut ca The Doors să devină una dintre cele mai influente trupe rock din America. Cu imagini de arhivă rare, filmate din perioada formării trupei în 1965 până la moartea lui Jim Morrison în 1971, filmul When You're Strange, urmărește parcursul formației și oferă o perspectivă profundă asupra impactului revoluționar al muzicii lor.  Filmul, câștigător al unui premiu GRAMMY®,  este regizat de Tom DiCillo și narat de Johnny Depp. Cu ocazia împlinirii a 60 de ani de la înființarea trupei, filmul va fi prezentat în cinematografe pentru prima dată în format 4K și va include o nouă interpretare a piesei „Riders on the Storm”, înregistrată de John Densmore, Robby Krieger și invitați speciali, în locații exotice din întreaga lume, în parteneriat cu Playing For Change. Filmul documentar When You're Strange va fi difuzat la cinematografele din România, pe 4 și 6 decembrie 2025. Biletele sunt disponibile la casele de bilete din cinematografe sau online, pe site-urile cinematografelor, din 30 octombrie 2025.

Cele două grupuri de opoziție reprezentate în Parlamentul Armeniei vor mobiliza susținătorii și vor introduce o rezoluție parlamentară comună pentru a cere eliberarea zecilor de critici ai prim-ministrului Nikol Pashinian arestați în ultimele luni, relatează Radio Azatutyun.  Reprezentanții acestora au insistat miercuri că prizonierii - printre care trei episcopi ai Bisericii Apostolice Armene, doi primari din opoziție, un om de afaceri miliardar și doi podcasteri – ar fi „prizonieri politici” urmăriți penal într-o acțiune de represiune guvernamentală fără precedent împotriva disidenților.„Democrația din Armenia regresează, iar numărul fără precedent de prizonieri politici este o manifestare a acestui lucru”, se arată în rezoluția elaborată de alianțele de opoziție Hayastan și Pativ Unem. De asemenea, se cere încetarea „persecuției politice” a unui număr tot mai mare de critici ai guvernului.Hasmik Hakobian, membră a Parlamentului din partea partidului de guvernământ Contractul Civil, a respins această interpretare și a precizat că majoritatea pro-guvernamentală din Adunarea Națională va bloca adoptarea rezoluției. Ea a insistat că nu există prizonieri politici în țară. Conform opoziției, amploarea represiunii subliniază profundul sentiment de nesiguranță al lui Pașinian înaintea alegerilor generale care vor avea loc în iunie 2026. Pe de altă parte, premierul și-a exprimat încrederea că partidul său va câștiga alegerile. Ruta energetică: Hidrogenul și reconfigurarea legăturilor energetice între Europa și Asia Centrală La forumul Global Gateway de la Bruxelles, Uniunea Europeană și-a consolidat parteneriatul energetic cu Asia Centrală prin semnarea de acorduri cu Kazahstan, Kârgâzstan și Uzbekistan pentru extinderea proiectelor de energie regenerabilă și hidroenergie, relatează site-ul kazah Astana Times.Susținută de Banca Europeană de Investiții, Banca Europeană pentru Reconstrucție și Dezvoltare și Banca Mondială, inițiativa merge dincolo de simpla generare de electricitate: ea deschide calea pentru dezvoltarea hidrogenului verde și a viitoarelor coridoare energetice capabile să conecteze Asia Centrală la piețele europene.Hidrogenul este văzut ca fiind combustibilul viitorului, capabil să decarbonizeze industriile dificil de electrificat și să alimenteze economii întregi. Dar, dincolo de aceste promisiuni, el devine și un instrument geopolitic, așa cum sunt petrolul și gazele. Pe măsură ce țările și întreprinderile investesc în creșterea producției sale, rămâne o întrebare crucială: cum va fi transportat hidrogenul și cine va controla aceste rute? Planul european REPowerEU, lansat la începutul războiului din Ucraina, își propune să diversifice importurile de energie și să accelereze tranziția energetică a continentului. Acesta stabilește obiective ambițioase: 10 milioane de tone de producție internă de hidrogen regenerabil și 10 milioane de tone de importuri până în 2030, pentru a decarboniza sectoare precum oțelul, fabricile de produse chimice și transportul greu.Pentru a atinge aceste obiective, UE explorează mai multe rute de transport, „coridoarele de hidrogen”. 

România are un război la ușă, dar cochetează cu ideea de a-și decima armata. General: „E o tâmpenie, ne face vulnerabili în fața Rusiei” (Adevărul) - Opinie: Puterea din umbră a magistraților (DW) - AUR pentru Realitatea: George Simion a dat un milion de euro pentru o zi de promovare și aproape jumătate pentru o emisiune cu Anca Alexandrescu, dar fără el (Snoop) Ce ascunde mesajul schizofrenic al lui Sorin Grindeanu? Incapacitatea PSD (SpotMedia) Se anunță reducerea cu 10% a cheltuielilor de personal în fiecare minister, care poate fi făcută oricum, nu numai prin reducerea salariilor, ci și prin restructurări, concedieri, diminuarea sporurilor și a bonusurilor, iar Sorin Grindeanu vine în fața camerelor TV și face un întreg spectacol că nu e de acord cu tăierea salariilor. PSD e singurul partid din coaliție care are un comportament schizofrenic, e de acord cu măsurile de reducere a deficitului în ședințele coaliției, în timp ce în fața publicului protestează violent la adresa lor. Pentru a afla de ce se întâmplă acest lucru SpotMedia a stat de vorbă cu politologul Costin Ciobanu, cercetător științific la Universitatea Aarhus, Danemarca, iar el a spus: “România trece printr-o perioadă economică dificilă, fiind pentru prima dată în istorie când PSD e la guvernare și trebuie să ia măsuri nepopulare”. “PSD nu s-a aflat până acum în situația de a lua decizii care duc la austeritate. În același timp, știm că măsurile de austeritate, în general, afectează votanții cu posibilități materiale reduse”, a declarat politologul pentru Spotmedia.ro.  “Măsurile de austeritate sunt un pericol pentru electoratul social-democrat, mai ales că PSD are acum această amenințare și din partea AUR. Partidul se află, într-adevăr, într-o poziție incomodă. Pe de-o parte, este la guvernare și a girat într-o formă sau alta deciziile luate până acum, pe de altă parte, are această amenințare electorală că reformele îi afectează susținerea publică. Așa că adoptă o poziționare ambiguă, care, în realitate, e una strategică”, a explicat expertul Costin Ciobanu. România are un război la ușă, dar cochetează cu ideea de a-și decima armata. General: „E o tâmpenie, ne face vulnerabili în fața Rusiei” (Adevărul) Intenția guvernului de reducere a bugetelor pentru cheltuielile de personal, după ce inițial în spațiul public s-a vorbit și despre reduceri salariale și chiar disponibilizări, este criticată de experți. În ziarul Adevărul, generalul (r) Dan Grecu, șeful generalilor în rezervă, și chestorul Lucian Guran, fost șef al Poliției Capitalei, avertizează că dacă vor fi luate aceste măsuri, România va fi mai puțin sigură și în fața unui invadator, dar și în fața infractorilor de toate felurile. Opinie: Puterea din umbră a magistraților (DW) România e în mare criză de timp, fiindcă întregul proces de intrare în vigoare a Legii pensiilor magistraților trebuie finalizat până pe 28 noiembrie, termenul maximalist oferit de Comisia Europeană pentru a elibera tranșa de peste 230 de milioane de euro României (din PNRR-Programul Național deRedresare și Reziliență). Ministrul Proiectelor Europene, Dragoș Pîslaru a declarat ieri că termenul de 28 noiembrie nu poate fi prelungit, dar că totul ar putea fi gata la vreme dacă CSM dă avizul imediat, fără să mai tragă de timp. Vicepreședintele CSM a precizat, însă, că e nevoie de timp pentru a analiza proiectul, chiar dacă nu are modificări majore. Acum o lună, 5 dintre cei 9 judecători CCR au votat pentru respingerea proiectului care fusese reclamat de Înalta Curte. 3 dintre cei 5 care au susținut interesele magistraților provin din această castă și au fost numiți de PSD (Cristian Deliorga, fost procuror apoi judecător la Constanța, Gheorghe Stan, fost procuror, Bogdan Licu, fost prim-adjunct al procurorului general). Lor li s-au alăturat Mihai Busuioc, propus de PSD, fost șef al Curții de Conturi și Mihaela Ciochină, fostă consilieră prezidențială sub Klaus Iohannis. Dacă Înalta Curte reclamă din nou legea la CCR e posibil ca social-democrații să-l îndemne pe ultimul lor numit, Mihai Busuioc să voteze alături de judecătorii care vor să treacă proiectul guvernului Bolojan. Unele surse avizate susțin că și Mihaela Ciochină ar trece de partea bună a votului, dar deocamdată totul e relativ.  Pentru diseară se anunță proteste împotriva magistraților în toată țara sub sloganul „Vrem drepturi egale, fără pensii speciale!”.  Se vor mai bate magistrații acum pentru bani mai mulți sau au înțeles că nu e un moment bun pentru astfel de extravaganțe, când peste tot se fac concedieri, iar inflația a crescut cu 10% și majoritatea oamenilor au mai puțini bani?  Vor juca, măcar pentru o perioadă, reținerea, în speranța că legile sunt vremelnice și pot fi schimbate? Sau vor insista până când protestele vor crește atât de mult încât magistrații cu bun simț se vor desolidariza de cei lacomi? Deocamdată, la Înalta Curte tendința e să meargă până în pânzele albe, comentează jurnalista Sabina Fati, corespondent DW la București.  AUR pentru Realitatea: George Simion a dat un milion de euro pentru o zi de promovare și aproape jumătate pentru o emisiune cu Anca Alexandrescu, dar fără el (Snoop) Facturile de promovare ale AUR pe Realitatea TV au fost considerate neconforme cu legea de către Autoritatea Electorală Permanentă, care a decis să nu ramburseze partidului peste 17 milioane de lei. O sesizare pe această temă a fost trimisă de AEP la Parchet, potrivit informațiilor obținute de Snoop.ro. Din cele 69 de milioane de lei cheltuite de George Simion în campania electorală prezidențială din primăvara lui 2025, 23,4 milioane de lei au ajuns la postul de televiziune Realitatea Plus. Din acestea din urmă, AEP a decis să recunoască doar 6 milioane de lei drept cheltuieli legale. AUR a pierdut, în două campanii, aproape 10 milioane de euro.

Căderea pieței cripto a adus din nou în atenție riscurile pentru investitori. Prăbușirea valorii bitcoin arată volatilitatea pieței și atrage atenția asupra așa-numiților „investitori turiști” care vin și pleacă foarte repede. Este simpatic să vezi cum marii susținători ai investițiilor în criptomonede dispar fără urmă din spațiul public, acum când valoarea bitcoin tocmai a scăzut cu 30% față de vârful atins la începutul lunii octombrie a.c. Mulți dintre cei care la fiecare mică mișcare a criptomonedelor săreau imediat cu previziuni de creștere fulminantă s-au retras în aceste zile. Au rămas în schimb analiștii care încearcă să găsească tot felul de explicații pentru prăbușirea bitcoin. Cel mai distractiv este că în bunul obicei al specialiștilor în piețe financiare se vorbește despre corecție, nu despre cădere. Adică, o prăbușire de la o valoare de 126.000 de dolari pentru un bitcoin la 88.500 de dolari ar fi de fapt o corecție. Faptul că piața bitcoin a pierdut într-o lună și jumătate 1.000 miliarde de dolari din capitalizare, adică aproape 30%, nu este o cădere în gol, ci o corecție. Dincolo de termenii folosiți pentru a îndulci momentul, analiștii caută motivele scăderii valorii criptomonedelor. O variantă este legătura pe care ar putea să o aibă căderea pieței cripto cu acțiunile de pe piața Nasdaq, respectiv cu valoarea acțiunilor companiilor de tehnologie, precum Meta, Nvidia, Alphabet sau Amazon, care a crescut foarte mult din luna aprilie a.c. Unii analiști cred că scăderea bitcoin anunță o scădere a prețului acțiunilor firmelor de tehnologie, dar în ultimele săptămâni este la modă să prevestești spargerea „bulei” de inteligență artificială. Alții și-au adus aminte de resorturile care au dus la creșterea de anul acesta. A fost vorba despre sentimentul investitorilor că Rezerva Federală americană va reduce dobânzile de mai multe ori, ceea ce va elibera bani care vor fi îndreptați către activele riscante. O a doua explicație pentru creșterea la bursă a pieței cripto a fost creșterea ETF-urilor pe bitcoin. Dar, acum este vorba despre scăderea nu despre creșterea valorii criptomonedelor. Evoluția pieței a schimbat tendința. Unii investitori mai mici sau mai mari au început să piardă bani ceea ce a făcut ca nivelul vânzărilor să crească. Alții, au vândut pentru a câștiga, adică pentru a evita o evoluție defavorabilă a pieței. Pe de altă parte, investitorii de retail nu au cumpărat chiar dacă prețurile au scăzut, așa cum se întâmplă în cazul acțiunilor, semn că au considerat cotația cripto încă prea ridicată. Acum, însă, analiștii și-au amintit brusc de toate inconvenientele criptomonedelor. Adică, bitcoin a mai scăzut cu 30% în anul 2014 și chiar cu 45%, în anul 2022. Unii experți susțin că este o diferență importantă între episoadele anterioare de scădere și ceea ce se întâmplă în ultimele zile. Și anume, în 2022, a fost vorba despre o panică instalată din cauza războiului din Ucraina și a evoluțiilor geopolitice, acum, vânzările sunt făcute de cei care câștigă din creșterea prețurilor sau cum se spune în limbaj de specialitate „își marchează profitul”. Nu este nimic anormal în acest lucru, numai că volatilitatea pieței își arată colții. Analizele subliniază că piața cripto este dominată de așa-numiți „investitori turiști”, care sunt sensibili la fluctuațiile de preț. Cu alte cuvinte, în momentele complicate toate zonele gri ale pieței cripto se transformă în puncte negre, în sensul că investitorii interesați de obținerea de randamente rapide se grăbesc să vândă. În acest moment, bitcoin a avut o performanță financiară mai scăzută decât obligațiunile americane ceea ce este cu totul atipic pentru un activ promovat ca un vehicul de creștere și diversificare. Prăbușirea valorii ar putea să slăbească aura criptomonedelor. Investitorii vor înțelege pe pielea lor că parteneriatul cu bitcoin și ethereum nu este doar la câștig, ci și la pierdere. De fapt, dincolo de de explicațiile savante, lucrurile sunt mult mai simple piața cripto este supusă volatilității și escrocheriilor. Despre riscuri, adepții cripto evită să vorbească.

While many people and critics hail certain albums as being pivotal or defining in terms of musical genres or movements, the reality is that, while undeniably a great album, whatever they are referring to was just that. A great album at a time where a musical genre was earning its stripes.But every now and then - usually with the test of time - an album stands out in their particular field of metal. An album that really did help shape and refine a movement that was later to become a genre. An album that, decades after its release, is still hailed as a masterpiece and rightfully so.One such album is Broke from HED (PE). 25 years ago an up and coming rap/metal outfit called HED (PE) had already announced themselves with their self-titled debut album, but it was the release of Broke in 2000 that really catapulted the band up the rankings. Featuring Serj Tankian (System of a Down) and Morgan Lander (Kittie) as guest artists, Broke spawned the singles Bartender, Killing Time, and Feel Good, fusing rap, funk, hip hop and metal like never before and playing a huge part in the early development of nu metal.The album has resonated with fans the world over for the last two and a half decades, and Australian audiences will get the chance to share in the beauty of Broke when HED (PE) head to this side of the world next February to celebrate the album's anniversary.HEAVY sat down with frontman Jahred Gomes to get up to speed. One of the questions was if it was difficult learning the whole album, taking into account when it was written it wasn't done with the intention of playing the whole album in the future."No, it wasn't difficult," he recalled, "but you know, at PE, we've got some really long songs. So sometimes in the live setting, we do more medleys so we can play a bunch of shit. I imagine when the show comes out there'll be some songs played in full, some songs that we just touch on, but we want to make it exciting for people. We've got some tricks that we're going to be doing. It's different. It's 25 years later, so it's got more of a straight-ahead, thrashy punk rock vibe now than it did back then."In the full interview, Jahred discussed the significance of Broke, reflecting on its themes of financial and emotional struggles, its impact on the band's rise to fame, and the evolution of their songwriting. He acknowledged some lyrics he now finds regrettable but expressed comfort in performing the older songs. He also shared his excitement about touring with Nonpoint, highlighting the importance of supporting friends in the music industry and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

You and Tom spend this episode unpacking a surprisingly liberating idea for investors: that average is good enough. Kicking off with your own story about a two-star podcast rating, you two stumble into a bigger truth—most people are chasing a level of portfolio perfection that doesn't matter. Christine Benz's Morningstar piece becomes the backbone of the discussion, contrasting “maximizers” (engineers, tinkerers, over-optimizers) with “satisfizers” (simple, diversified, sane). From there you hit Tesla's trillion-dollar pay package drama, Bito's goofy “dividends,” SGOV vs. CD ladders, fears about private equity sneaking into retirement plans, and a few classic Don-and-Tom tangents.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 415 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this episode, Peter Boulden and Craig discuss the critical importance of succession planning for dentists, emphasizing that every dentist will eventually need to consider their exit strategy. They explore various pathways for transitioning out of practice, including selling outright, forming partnerships, or selling to private equity. The conversation highlights the significance of understanding practice value, the emotional aspects of selling, and common mistakes to avoid in the planning process. The hosts encourage proactive planning to maximize the value of a dental practice and ensure a smooth transition. TAKEAWAYS Succession planning is essential for all dentists. Timing is crucial in the succession planning process. The value of a practice is often tied to its goodwill and assets. Selling a practice without proper planning can lead to significant losses. Partnerships can provide a smoother transition and better value. Private equity can offer liquidity but comes with risks. Emotional states can cloud decision-making in practice transitions. Clear financial records are vital for successful transitions. Investing in practice growth can enhance future sale value. Planning for succession should start early in a dentist's career.

In this episode of HALO Talks, industry veteran CJ Bouchard opens up to host Pete Moore about the realities of entrepreneurship in the fitness industry, sharing candid stories of risk, resilience, and what it really means to build from the ground up. From betting his savings on a fledgling franchise in North Carolina and initially making daily two-hour commutes, to pivoting and learning tough lessons about club size, site selection, and market expansion, CJ reveals how grit, adaptability, and a clear mission have fueled Excel Fitness's phenomenal growth. Planet Fitness (NYSE:PLNT) is one of the largest and fastest-growing operators of fitness centers in the U.S, and Excel Fitness Holdings is one of their largest franchisees currently operating 150+ clubs in Austin, Dallas/Ft Worth, Tulsa, Northwest Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Georgia, and Virginia. Their mission is to build a team culture and atmosphere constructed on trust, humility, and strong relationships, always leading by example and putting others first with the utmost integrity, dedication, and accountability. Pete and CJ also dive into how partnering with private equity has transformed the business, what it takes to be a successful operator in today's market, what to expect when working with a PE firm, and the importance of building a strong team and community-driven approach. CJ also shares the meaning behind his "Hope is not a strategy" tattoo, and why execution—not wishful thinking—remains his guiding principle. Whether you're a club owner, aspiring HALO sector entrepreneur, or curious about how major fitness brands expand, this episode is packed with actionable insights, real-world advice, and plenty of inspiration from one of the industry's top leaders. Key themes discussed Entrepreneurial journey and early struggles in fitness industry. Evolution and disruption of the Planet Fitness business model. Challenges involved in club building and expansion. The critical importance of location for a gym's success. Strategic growth: Acquisitions, private equity, and territory development. Leadership style: Clarity, vision, and execution over hope. A Few Takeaways: 1.Entrepreneurial Grit & Humble Beginnings: Bouchard started in the fitness industry as a personal trainer without a college degree, working in Connecticut's gym scene and grinding through tough times. He didn't take a paycheck for two years and put payroll on credit cards when launching his first Planet Fitness in North Carolina. Real entrepreneurship often means sacrifice, resilience, and relentless commitment. 2. Evolution from "Hardcore" Gyms to Disrupting the Market: CJ's transition from traditional gyms (Gold's, World Gym, etc.) to Planet Fitness highlights a change in business philosophy. It went from focusing on "results" to focusing on "access." He recognized Planet's disruptive model early on, betting on a concept that many were skeptical about and ultimately building one of the largest Planet Fitness area development companies in the country. 3. Importance of Site Selection and Operational Knowledge: Both Bouchard and Moore emphasized how crucial it is to understand the nuances of real estate, site selection, and the operational details of running clubs. The value of personally touring sites and knowing the history and layout of each location is essential. Software and reports can't replace firsthand experience. 4. Strategic Growth: Mergers, Acquisitions & Private Equity: Under CJ, Excel Fitness strategically expanded through acquiring clubs, merging with other operators, and partnering with private equity (Olympus Partners.) CJ shared how growth now includes both new club development and acquisitions of existing gyms (like Texas Family Fitness), always with an eye on preserving legacy and community as much as possible. 5. Culture, Team, and Values: CJ's leadership philosophy stresses execution, daily engagement in operations, and a moral compass focused on building communities through fitness. His tattoo "Hope Is Not a Strategy" clearly shows his belief in preparation and action, not relying on luck. He also spoke passionately about valuing long-term employees and creating opportunities for others in the organization.

This episode features an in-depth conversation with business advisor and author Jason Hendren about his extraordinary exit journey. Jason shares the raw, real-life experiences behind his book, detailing how he scaled his energy-efficient lighting company, ILP, from a small venture to a highly valuable asset. The discussion covers: The initial risk of buying out his original partners using personal assets in 2009. The power of partnering with private equity, which provided capital, operational expertise (continuous improvement), and mentorship that accelerated his company's growth far beyond what he could have achieved alone. The crucial difference between being an "add-on" versus a "platform" investment in the eyes of PE. The financial nuances of "taking multiple bites of the apple"—selling the company twice to different PE firms for increasing valuations. His biggest regrets and lessons learned, including wishing he had better utilized leverage (debt) to maximize his personal proceeds in the second sale.

Send us a textA beloved PE teacher with a coach's grit and a neighbor's heart, Miss Shelly Lee joins us to share how a lifetime of movement turned into a citywide mission: build two indoor pools and two ice rinks so every kid can swim, skate, and thrive. From teaching line dances to launching teams, she shows how play unlocks confidence, health, and community—and why water safety should be as standard as math class.We dive into the 2 For 2 Foundation's plan, the surge in demand for lessons, and the reality of aging facilities that can't serve a growing region. Miss Lee breaks down what's working—6,000+ kids receiving lessons since 2022 thanks to donations and grants—what's missing, and why land access is the pivot that unlocks construction. She makes a compelling case for equity: city fifth graders ride buses to swim class, while county kids are left out. Pools aren't luxuries; they're public safety tools, rehab centers, and training grounds for athletes from football to figure skating.Expect vivid memories from decades of coaching: first teams finding their form, football players learning to sprint in the water, and a once-sidelined student asking to play for the first time. We talk line dancing as an invitation to move, early hip-hop beats that brought kids together, and the mentors who shaped a generation. If you care about youth sports, drowning prevention, mental health, or simply giving families a place to play year-round, this story will move you to action.Help us make it real: support the Two For Two Foundation, share the episode, and tell local leaders why Winchester needs two pools and two rinks.

Host Paul K. Boyce, PE, PG, President and CEO of P.W. Grosser, speaks with Chris Wenczel, PG, Senior Project Manager, about the long history and quiet spread of forever chemicals, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), across modern products and infrastructure. In Episode 73 Part 1, they trace how firefighting foams, floor finishes, and cleaning practices helped move PFAS from industrial sites into everyday settings. The discussion highlights early gaps in health research, including the reality that serious study did not begin until roughly 2015, and contrasts the current federal drinking water level of 4 parts per trillion with wastewater concentrations reported as high as 229,000 parts per trillion. As Chris notes, “we do not find out that something is harmful until we are down the road and it is already in the environment,” a pattern that shapes how regulators and communities now respond.

Over the last decade, I've watched private equity surge into the machining world — and I've seen firsthand how often the short-term flip-in-five-years strategy ends up hurting shops, people, customers, and entire supply chains. While the capital can help, the incentives often drive decisions that weaken the very businesses PE firms acquire. But every now and then, someone comes along with a model that stops you in your tracks because it actually makes sense for our industry. That someone is Mark Hillenburg, co-founder of Collective Manufacturing Group, a company built on a radically different vision: buy great machine shops and hold them forever. No flipping. No short-term targets. No cultural upheaval. Just long-term stewardship, disciplined investment, and a deep respect for the people who built these businesses in the first place. In this conversation, Mark and I dig into his incredible journey — starting a tiny shop with his father in a 700-square-foot garage, learning machining the hard way, living through major turnarounds, scaling multi-site aerospace manufacturing, and ultimately becoming disillusioned with traditional PE models. His experiences shaped a philosophy that aligns closely with the heart of American manufacturing: protect the legacy, empower the people, and build a business that lasts. We also talk about how his team is already reviving shuttered shops, empowering internal leaders, gaining trust from OEMs, and receiving deal flow from customers who don't want their critical suppliers bought by traditional PE firms. If you care about the long-term health of the machining ecosystem, you'll want to hear this one. Mark's approach gives me real hope for where this industry can go.

How to 4X your Revenue in 4 Years with Alexis Sikorsky   Most business owners dream about growth, but few know how to scale without chaos. In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky Lalvani talks with Alexis Sikorsky, a strategic advisor who helps founders scale fast and exit strong. Alexis doesn't speak from theory—he built and sold his own Switzerland-based software company, New Access, in a $100M+ private equity deal.   He learned firsthand what it takes to go from exhaustion to exponential growth—and how the right strategy, mindset, and systems can help you 4X your revenue in just four years.   Key Lessons from the Conversation:  Buy, Don't Just Build: Most founders try to grow by grinding harder. Alexis shows why M&A can be a faster, smarter route when done strategically—with the right due diligence and cultural alignment. Don't Confuse Urgent with Important: Entrepreneurs often get stuck fighting fires instead of building vision. The CEO's real job is direction and value creation—not firefighting. Know What You Don't Know: Private equity buyers make money because they see what founders can't. Your blind spots could be worth millions, so get help from people who've done it before. Fire Yourself from the Day-to-Day: If your business can't run without you, it's not scalable—or sellable. Alexis teaches founders to identify the tasks only they can do and delegate the rest. Build a War Chest: Business cycles are inevitable. You need 9–12 months of cash reserves to weather storms and seize opportunities instead of scrambling to survive.   Key Takeaway: What you don't know about your business could be costing you millions. Clarity, cash reserves, and courage to think bigger are what separate sustainable success from burnout.   About Alexis Sikorsky: Alexis Sikorsky is a strategic advisor to founders who are serious about scaling fast and exiting strong. With a nine-figure private equity exit under his belt, Alexis isn't speaking from theory—he's lived the entrepreneurial highs and lows across decades of company building, boardroom negotiation, and international leadership. His flagship book Cashing Out lays out the APEX methodology, a four-part framework (Assess, Plan, Execute, Exit) that demystifies the journey to private equity for founders feeling stuck or overwhelmed by growth and decision fatigue.   Alexis founded, scaled, and sold New Access, a Switzerland-based software company, ultimately closing a $100M+ exit and transitioning into a new chapter as a Special Advisor to ambitious CEOs. Today, through Sikorsky Consulting and KnightScale Partners, he works with growth-stage businesses, typically doing $5M+ in annual revenue, who want to engineer their next chapter or PE exit.   Links: Website: https://www.asikorsky.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-sikorsky-consulting/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexissikorsky/   Conclusion: Growth without strategy is just motion. As Alexis shared, success comes when you think like an investor—anticipate risk, build systems, and plan your exit long before you need it.   So, how many seven-figure mistakes are you willing to make? Even six-figure owners can make million-dollar errors without financial clarity. That's why Profit Answer Man exists—to help you keep more of what you earn and build a business that truly serves your life.   #ProfitAnswerMan #BusinessGrowth #PrivateEquity #ScaleYourBusiness #EntrepreneurMindset #MergersAndAcquisitions #CashFlow #ProfitFirst #FinancialFreedom #BusinessStrategy #Leadership   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

In this episode, we're joined by Jeppe Schytte-Hansen, CEO and Co-founder of Omnidocs, a SaaS company that's moving fast: €22M+ in revenue, 1,500 customers, 155 employees, and four acquisitions in the last 18 months after bringing in private equity for the first time. Jeppe breaks down what it really takes to turn a steady, profitable SaaS into a buy-and-build platform, from product alignment and enablement to the emotional reality of killing someone's “version 2.0” and managing the slowdown that almost everyone underestimates. We spoke with Jeppe about choosing PE over VC, building a 14-point M&A framework, and why one plus one rarely equals two in the first year. He explains the “integration foxtrot” (quick–slow–quick–slow), how to preserve culture across six offices and four countries, and why Omnidocs is betting big on the shift from traditional documents to “fluid formats” in the coming years.  Here are some of the key questions we address: What is the 14-criteria M&A evaluation framework, and what are the two instant disqualifiers? Why does every buy-and-build strategy start with a slowdown, and how do you shorten it? What makes product alignment the hardest part of M&A, and how do you decide when to kill a nearly-finished product? How do you structure integration squads and seven integration tracks across acquired companies? What does it take to enable sales teams to manage multiple products without slowing down new logo acquisition? How do you avoid overestimating cross-sell potential, especially in the first 12–18 months? Which are key roles and people to drive a successful pre, during and post-acquisition process?

Danes pa nekaj o aktualnem trenutku v slovenskem žogobrcu. V času, ko to poslušate, se končuje slovenska nogometna avantura s poskusom preboja na Mundial prihodnje leto. Kot ima slovenski žurnalizem v navadi, ob uspehih govorimo o junakih in pravljici, ob neuspehih pa udrihamo z vsem kar gre po ubogih športnikih. Naša oddaja bo vsaj malo odvzela breme z ramen nogometašev, selektorja in Nogometne zveze Slovenije … Zakaj? Ker na nogomet gledamo širše kot običajna javnost.Osredinimo se samo na zadnji poraz, ki so ga mnogi opisali kot sramotnega, v Stožicah proti reprezentanci Kosova. Kdo je kriv, je bilo odgovorjeno že stokrat. Zvezna vrsta, ki je bila luknjičasta in počasna. Selektor, ki ne spravi skupaj ofenzivne taktike, ali napadalci, ki dajo gol vsako četrto tekmo? Po našem svetem prepričanju nihče od naštetih. Največjo krivdo nosi Janez Janša, za njim pa Danilo Türk. Zgodba je zapletena, hkrati pa enostavna. Na predlog Janševe vlade je Slovenija prve dni marca leta 2008 priznala Kosovo kot neodvisno in suvereno državo. Strinjal se je tudi tedanji predsednik Danilo Türk in poslanci so z nekaj izjemami priznanje potrdili. Torej; če takrat Slovenija Kosova ne bi priznala, ne bi mogla prejšnjo soboto proti njemu izgubiti, ker tekme sploh ne bi igrala. Igrati proti državi, ki ne obstaja, je pač nemogoče. Sobotni nogometni poraz je dal prav Sašu Pečetu in Zmagu Jelinčiču, ki sta že leta 2008 opozarjala, da bo priznanje imelo daljnosežne in negativne posledice za našo državo. Njune besede so ob sobotnem porazu z 2 : 0 postale meso, kar le še enkrat več pomeni, da je politični šovinizem tek na dolge proge. Da bi se izognili podobnim blamažam in v pomoč našemu nogometu tako predlagamo, da za božjo voljo nikarte več priznavati novih neodvisnih držav … Da ne bi recimo komu prišlo na misel priznanje Katalonije … Ob trenutnem stanju v naši reprezentanci pa ne moremo biti samozavestni niti pred tekmo z ekipo Palestine, ki jo gostimo v rehabilitacijskem centru Soča. Če dobro premislimo; slovenskemu reprezentančnemu nogometu bi najbolj pomagali, ako prekinemo diplomatske stike z večino svetovnih držav in potem bi, z neigranjem tekem, dosegli kar precejšnje uspehe. Pač po logiki, da če tekme ne igraš, si še vedno uspešnejši od tega, da jo izgubiš! Ob tekmi pa je bilo še nekaj spornih situacij, ki so burile javnost mogoče celo bolj kot poraz sam. Tribune so namreč zasedli kosovski navijači v številu, ki je najbrž preseglo slovenske navijače in žvižgali so Zdravljici. Kar je vsega obsojanja vredno, ampak nekaj je treba vedeti … Pogumni in neustrašni Iliri iz goratega zaledja Jadranskega morja gojijo do nogometa posebno strast. Pa ne le to. Nogomet je postal njihov izvozni izdelek, ki je mogoče celo bolj pogost, kot nastrgano meso v štručki ali pa popularna poletna osvežitev. Hočemo povedati, da nogometaši pod dvoglavim orlom logično zapolnjujejo nogometno reprezentanco republike Albanije, nato republike Kosovo in v veliki meri še reprezentanco Švice. Proti takšni valilnici nogometnih talentov je majhna Slovenija brez moči in ker smo v kvalifikacijah igrali tako s Kosovom kot s Švico, lahko v maniri duhovičenja športnih komentatorjev pristavimo, da je dvoglavi orel pošteno oskubil slovensko kokoš. Pa gremo k izgubljenemu dvoboju na tribunah. Mlačnost in pomanjkanje energije slovenskih navijačev na tribunah je čudovito sovpadalo z mlačnostjo in pomanjkanjem energije slovenskih nogometašev. In poznejše jokanje po družbenih omrežjih, kako so bili gostujoči navijači bolj glasni, bolj zavzeti, z večjimi zastavami in z več strasti, je klavrni navijaški predstavi le nastavilo ogledalo. Na tem mestu pa ne moremo mimo katastrofalne politike Nogometne zveze Slovenije. Groteskna in zdaj sploh ne več prikrita absolutna in popolna centralizacija Slovenije je dosegla in zadušila tudi nogomet. Vztrajanje, da mora reprezentanca igrati tekme v na pol dograjenih Stožicah, ker je pač v onih betonskih temeljih zakopano bistvo slovenstva, je neumno, če že ni skrajno škodljivo. Nacionalne nogometne zveze, tudi tiste velikih in pomembnih reprezentanc, dosledno skrbijo, da nacionalna moštva domače tekme igrajo na različnih prizoriščih po državi. To ni ne neka novost, ne posebna praksa. Gre za osnovno nogometno dostojnost, bi zapisali. Razen slovenske nogometne zveze, ki je tako zaverovana v Ljubljano, kot da si nogometni uradniki ne bi smeli izplačati dnevnice, če bi se podali kam drugam. Recimo v Celje, kjer trenutno gori še zadnji dostojni utrinek slovenskega nogometa. Da o Mariboru, ki je kljub sramotni prodaji domačega kluba še vedno z naskokom največje slovensko nogometno mesto. Vztrajanje z Ljubljano in s Stožicami, kjer poskušajo umetno vzpostaviti čarobnost nekdanjega Bežigrada, je za slovenski nogomet škodljivo prav toliko, kot porazne igre naše nogometne reprezentance.  

Earlier this month Denver voters approved the Vibrant Denver bond, saying yes to some ambitious city projects -- like the ⁠Denver American Indian Cultural Embassy⁠, which will be built in Montbello. City council also recently approved a study to look at ⁠potentially widening Peña Boulevard⁠ and Mayor Johnston and Denver International Airport CEO Phil Washington announced plans to look at ⁠bringing nuclear power⁠ to the airport. These projects are going down in Councilwoman Stacie Gilmore's District 11, and she's got a lot to say about it. Gilmore joins host Bree Davies to dig into these city plans, plus share why she thinks ⁠the mayor's layoffs⁠ are having lasting effects on the trust those workers put into local government.  Bree mentioned a recent episode we aired about ⁠AI Data Centers⁠, and the Denver Post editorial board's ⁠comments on Gilmore and the city layoffs⁠.

Send us a textThe best conversations start with a small spark, and ours begins with World Kindness Day before ricocheting through weather whiplash, missed northern lights, and two jaw-dropping world records: 374 bagpipers blasting ACDC and a PE teacher drilling 1,516 three-pointers in a row. From there we wander into a modern folklore lesson on Jeep “ducking,” why tiny rubber ducks on dashboards are a rolling chain of goodwill, and a surprisingly competitive taste test pitting Trader Joe's PB&J pockets against the classic Uncrustables.Then we roll up our sleeves and get truly sudsy. Soap hasn't always been a given; it was once taxed as a luxury and arrived in our homes far later than most of us realize. We trace the arc from ancient fats-and-ash recipes and Roman oil scrapers to the rise of industrial soap, the late bloom of liquid hand soap in the 1970s, and the everyday culture wars of bar versus body wash. Along the way we dig into scents, skin sensitivity, antibacterial labels, and why foam pumps win with reluctant hand washers. We swap stories about public bathroom nostalgia, the pitfalls of using body wash as shampoo, and a little DIY curiosity—plus a reminder that the best hygiene habit is the one you'll actually keep.It's a cozy, curious tour of how small rituals shape home life: a bottle by the sink, a seasonal scent, a kid who defaults to sanitizer, a parent who says “soap and water.” We share practical tips, laugh at our own mishaps, and find meaning in the mundane. Press play for a kind, funny, and unexpectedly informative ride through records, rubber ducks, and the science of clean.Enjoyed the episode? Follow, rate, and share with a friend.
