Podcasts about pennies

Most independent artists release their albums everywhere immediately—Spotify, Apple Music, every streaming platform. But what if that's backwards?   Ezra Vancil sold his last album exclusively to his email list for an entire year before releasing it to streaming platforms. His new album? He's using a hybrid approach: limited streaming presence while keeping the full album direct-only.   The math is stark. One direct sale at $10 nets you $8-10 after platform fees. To earn that same amount from streaming, you need 20,000-25,000 plays. If your average listener streams your 10-song album twice—that's 20 streams per person—you need 1,000-1,250 listeners to equal one direct sale.   This episode breaks down the pre-streaming revenue model: how to capture direct sales from your email list first, then add streaming revenue second. You'll learn the hybrid access strategy, pricing frameworks for digital and physical products, and the step-by-step implementation process for 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month pre-streaming windows.   Topics covered: Why streaming-first leaves money on the table from fans ready to pay directly The four-component framework: email list foundation, pre-release window, hybrid access, direct sales mechanism How Ezra's monthly singles strategy creates discovery while protecting direct revenue The 8-step implementation process from email list foundation to streaming transition Pricing strategy for digital albums, physical products, and deluxe bundles When to transition from direct-only to full streaming availability If you have an email list—even 100-200 engaged people—this strategy can generate significantly more revenue than releasing to streaming platforms first.   Links to related episodes and things mentioned in this episode.

Not only are we not talking about the discontinuation of pennies enough, we're not talking about it all... until now. All that plus the unprecedented purchase of two wildly different pairs of shoes and some Nuggets discourse for good measure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkQYwAym9Yg

In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson and Dr. Drew Henderson talk about why depth always beats volume, whether it's relationships, chiropractic care, or building a life with intention. They explore the idea behind Four Quarters Over 100 Pennies: choosing a few true friendships over many shallow ones, committing to excellence in a single, meaningful service, and resisting the pressure to chase everything at once. Through practical insights and real-world experience, they highlight how focus, consistency, and authenticity create lasting impact—both in practice and in life.

What happens when the smallest coin in your pocket is no longer part of your daily life? The U.S. Mint officially stopped producing pennies for circulation in November 2025, marking a significant shift in our nation's currency. In this episode, we explore the end of an era and dive deep into what this change reveals about our relationship with money, value, and history. We'll uncover the economic reasons behind the decision, from the rising cost of production to the practicalities of rounding cash transactions. More than just a financial change, this is a cultural moment. We will explore the central question: How does the penny's disappearance affect how we view the value of money itself and how we use it? Join us as we navigate this transition and all that it entails.       Our website: www.forbetterandworth.com Get Ericka's book, Naked and Unashamed: 10 Money Conversations Every Couple Must Have Check out our local TV spotlight Connect with us: Instagram: @forbetterandworth YouTube: @forbetterandworth Ericka: @erickayoungofficial Chris: @1cbyoung  

The Red Sox missed out on Alex Bregman over a silly no-trade clause. The Cubs signed Alex Bregman but now might need to trade someone else. The Phillies are only in on Bo Bichette if they can get some other team to pay Alec Bohm and/or Nick Castellanos. All across MLB, even big-market teams are pinching pennies. Do they pass those savings along to the fans? Of course not! In Los Angeles, the Dodgers ownership remains committed to winning year in and year out.

Rob and Michelle Reiner were murdered in their Brentwood home and their son has been arrested in connection to their deaths. The Powerball has reached $1.1 billion! The last pennies minted sold for over $16 million.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   Its a Fun Friday for sure but we start today with three bad guys that we seem to just accept as bad guys and they are sort of mocking us all.  What's going on?    A pair of tv peeps are playing the race card in the strangest of ways and it truly feels like desperation for a ploy that's on life support.    You won't believe how much the last pennies ever minted fetched at auction.    A Chiefs player makes a video of his locker and posts it and America is now hammering the Chiefs ownership for being cheap.  The Royals sign an outfielder not worth celebrating.  The Tennessee Titans ban their sideline reporter from their team charter flights.  Michael Jordan wins a big settlement in his suit against NASCAR and Trump wants to make winnings from gambling tax free.    Then, Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has our point spread picks and our Final Final is one of the saddest cases of TDS anywhere in the world.

Recent McDonald's and Burger King promotions drove a material lift in traffic. Tourism has fallen this year and it seems to be having a pretty big impact on restaurant businesses.  And restaurants are feeling short-changed by the federal government's decision to stop printing the penny.

At the table, the fellas discussed football celebrations and why emotes are for everyone, then ranted about the hype behind “dirty soda” and overly sweet mixed drinks. They explored the right age to start calling someone your “lover,” decided what else we should stop making besides pennies, and unpacked the chaos of dating within a Friendsgiving friend group.(1:00) Celebrations and emotes — first downs, dance moves, and expressive rights(1:45) Rants with Channing: Dirty soda and sugary drink hype(6:30) How old do you have to be to call your partner your “lover”?(17:20) Pennies might be on the way out — what else should we stop making?(30:02) Situation: Friendsgiving drama and dating within the friend groupThanks for the love and support — be sure to follow us on social media @thebltpod

Marriage is God's gift for joy and sanctification — but three subtle poisons can kill it: Pennies, Perversion, and Pride.Pennies – Loving money breeds fear, comparison, and discontent. Antidote: Seek first God's kingdom (Matt 6:25–34).Perversion – Porn, withholding, or distortion twist God's good gift of sex. Antidote: Pursue regular, healing intimacy as worship (1 Cor 7:5).Pride – “I know better” fuels unforgiveness and division. Antidote: Look to the humble Servant-King and forgive as Christ forgave us (Matt 20:28, Eph 4:32).Spot the poison, repent fast, and watch God restore joy to your covenant.

Today's story: The United States Mint struck its final penny in November 2025, ending a 232-year run of producing the one-cent coin. The decision followed years of debate over the coin's value, as production costs exceeded its worth and demand declined. Pennies will remain legal tender, but new ones won't be made.Transcript & Exercises: https://plainenglish.com/821Full lesson: https://plainenglish.com/821 --Upgrade all your skills in English: Plain English is the best current-events podcast for learning English.You might be learning English to improve your career, enjoy music and movies, connect with family abroad, or even prepare for an international move.

Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Tyler Rizzo is the Vice President of Finance at COTALAND. Growing up in Central Florida, he got his start in attractions at Busch Gardens Tampa, then earned a hospitality management degree at UCF's Rosen College before moving from front-of-house operations into analytics at SeaWorld, revenue analytics at Cedar Fair, and leadership roles spanning analytics and food and beverage. He later consulted at Storyland Studios on pre-concept through opening projects. Today, he's helping launch COTALAND in Austin, a dense 30-acre park with about 30 rides built alongside Circuit of the Americas, home to the F1 United States Grand Prix. In this interview, Tyler talks about bridging finance and operations, not chasing expensive pennies, and avoiding the doom spiral. Bridging finance and operations “I've kind of always treated it like an improv group; you never say no.” Tyler explains that finance succeeds when it partners with operators rather than policing them. He emphasizes open lines of communication, involving department heads in decisions, and never blindsiding colleagues with a spreadsheet they've never seen. He also stresses getting into the field, noting how proximity to the park at SeaWorld helped finance teams “walk the walk,” hear guests on rides, and translate spreadsheet cells into real experiences. That frontline credibility matters. Having carried a radio and worked the fryer, he says operators trust guidance from someone who has lived their constraints. Seasonality, hours of operation, and the realities of running rides and restaurants don't always show up in a model. By pairing operational tacit knowledge with analytics, Tyler builds plans that are both tight on paper and resilient in practice. Not chasing expensive pennies “I've had multiple times throughout my career where we chased expensive pennies.” Tyler cautions against over-correcting for small losses without weighing the bigger picture. He uses examples like shrink in retail or food waste in fries: quantification is essential, but so is the cost-benefit analysis of fixes. If moving T-shirts indoors to cut theft chokes visibility and sales, or new security costs exceed the recovered margin, the “savings” are illusory. He extends this thinking to the industry's top- versus bottom-line focus. Cutting hours or labor can protect a quarter, but erode perceived value and long-term revenue. He contrasts firms that invest in people and guest experience with those making knee-jerk reductions, arguing that sustainable performance comes from meeting or exceeding value expectations, not just trimming expense lines. Avoiding the doom spiral “The easy button is to absolutely reduce hours, reduce labor, those start to become expensive pennies though when you're losing your core market.” When attendance dips, slashing staffing may seem prudent, but Tyler warns it can trigger a negative loop: thinner teams degrade service, which depresses visits further. His advice is to evaluate and realign the product's value proposition to what guests expect in that market, then execute consistently over time rather than relying on short-term cuts. He notes this discipline is hardest when micro results are choppy, yet it's precisely when conviction matters. Whether for a single FEC or a multi-park operator, recovery hinges on a clear multi-year plan rooted in core hospitality, supported by data, and adapted through continuous testing of operating models, pricing, and offerings without sacrificing the guest experience.   To learn more about COTALAND, visit cotaland.com.

Susie has a theory about a scubadiving accident Sarah had ten years ago. We wonder why anyone wears a visor. We discuss the 30 for 30 short film about Black "hand clap" games that girls play, how they originated, and why we don't continue them into adulthood. We debate the virtues of locker room nudity, why it's becoming antiquated, and why some people (including Sarah want to bring it back).

Amber from Bend, Oregon thought her story ended the day her best friend Laurie took her own life. But death, it seems, wasn't enough to stop their bond. They'd been inseparable since sixth grade — two girls from broken homes, fighting demons the world never saw. Laurie's life was marked by pain: abuse, addiction, and years of searching for love and redemption. Amber tried to save her, then lost her — both to distance and to death. But when the grief was still raw and the guilt unbearable, the pennies began appearing. Everywhere. Even years later, Amber still feels her friend — the familiar electric tingling that says she's near. The pennies may have stopped, but the message remains.  Love doesn't end. It only changes form. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #PenniesFromHeaven #TrueHaunting #AfterlifeSigns #BestFriendsForever #RealGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #SuicideAndTheAfterlife #SpiritCommunication #PenniesFromLaurie #Ghosts #EmotionalHaunting Love real ghost stories?
