The US and Iran are striking each other again over the Strait of Hormuz. Predictable. We must all remember if we are ever going to put a stop to this mess we need to clean up our House at home. With Sen Lindsey Graham dead the most Zionist person left in congress is without a doubt Randy Fine. Randy has a primary August 18th. in the 6th district of Florida.Today he was the only Republican to vote against adding the Save America Act, to the 2027 State Department funding bill, which would require a ID to vote in federal elections. In any other first world country in the world a citizen needs an ID to show proof of citizenship. But in America illegals can still vote which is insane. The reason Randy voted no was not because of the context of the bill but because he is having personal beef with Alex Bruesewitz. Fine threatened the White House and GOP leadership, stating he will vote against every rule on the House floor until Trump fires Bruesewitz.“The two have been engaged in a weeks long rivalry on the social media platform X that started when Bruesewitz made an appearance on “The Tucker Carson Show” podcast. Carlson referred to Fine on the show as a “that creepy fat guy from Florida who endorsed genocide.”Randy's key opponent is Dan Bilzerian, who has currently raise more money and has people knocking door to door in Florida now to get rid of Randy Fine. Because of Randy's pettiness he might not get Endorsed by Trump this go around.He is in danger of losing this race. What a glorious year it would be indeed with Lindsey Graham dead. Mitch McConnell resigning and dying, and randy Fine might lose his seat in the primary. If this happens we could get Congressmen Dan Bilzerian as this area of Florida is automatically Republican.

Podcast Episode Description: "It's an exit plan, not an exit due." Host Laurie Barkman sits down with Alan Bennett, founder of Trust Built Solutions and exit planning coach who has lived through three very different business exits — a retail meat market that he closed in 2008, a contract catering business that a seller-financed deal and COVID unraveled in 2020, and a psychiatric practice exit to private equity where he finally got to use every lesson he had learned the hard way. Alan's story is one of the most honest and unfiltered accounts of what owner dependency really costs — not just in valuation, but in hours, health, relationships, and missed opportunities. He shares the trust cycle that unlocks delegation, the trap that keeps owners perpetually in the weeds, and why exit planning isn't about selling — it's about building a business that actually works without you.   Key Insights You can build a $2 million business and still have nothing to sell. Alan's first business did over $2 million in combined retail and catering revenue — but without systems, processes, or a team that could run without him, he had no transferable asset when the time came. When the landlord forced the issue in 2008, closing was the only option. The business had value in revenue but none in structure. The tape measure at 2am is the moment owner dependency becomes visible. Alan snuck into his meat market at 2am to measure steaks with a tape measure — and his team saw it on the security camera. That moment destroyed their trust in him. Owner dependency isn't just about overwork — it's about the signal you send your team every time you step in to fix what they should be handling. Trust is the real solution to owner dependency — and it flows both ways. Owners think the problem is whether they trust their team. The real problem is whether the team trusts the owner. Trust must be rebuilt the same way it was broken, consistently over time. Once the team sees the owner trust them, delegation follows — and with delegation comes purpose, accountability, and a business that runs without the owner in every room. Recurring contract revenue changes everything about valuation. Alan's second business had almost the same revenue as his first — but seven school contracts and two summer camp agreements made it dramatically more valuable on paper. The nature of the cash flow matters as much as the size of the revenue. Predictable, contracted income is what buyers pay premiums for. Seller financing without protective deal structure is a catastrophic risk. Alan's chef bought the catering business on a 10-year seller note — and COVID made him unable to pay after four months. Because the right protective language wasn't in the agreement, Alan had no real recourse beyond liquidating equipment at pennies on the dollar. The deal structure must be built before the agreement is signed, not after something goes wrong. Exit planning is not the same as selling — and most owners don't know the difference. Many business owners, especially in the trades, recoil at the phrase "exit planning" because they think it means they're selling. Alan reframes it: a well-executed exit plan makes the business easier to grow, easier to finance, and easier to scale — whether you ever sell or not. The best time to start was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.   Chapters: 00:05 Introduction of Alan Bennett 01:13 Business #1: The Retail Meat Market 06:34 100 Hours a Week and the Physical and Mental Toll 08:45 The $30,000 Consultant and the Map He Couldn't Read 10:23 Closing the Business: No Runway, No Plan 12:30 The Anger After the Close — And What He Learned 14:00 Business #2: The Contract Catering Company 15:51 How Recurring Contracts Changed the Business Model 18:30 Working 25 Hours a Week in Flip Flops 19:30 The Seller-Financed Deal with His Chef 21:21 COVID Hits: Four Payments In, Everything Stops 25:18 Liquidating the Assets and Licking the Wounds 27:54 Business #3: The Psychiatric Practice Exit to Private Equity 29:30 Owner Dependency — Calling It What It Is 30:55 The 2am Tape Measure Story That Changed Everything 33:30 How Trust Is Broken — And How It's Rebuilt 35:57 The Owner Dependency Trap: Bridging the Gap 40:31 Exit Plan vs. Exit Due — The Reframe That Changes Everything 41:44 Key Takeaways for Business Owners Thinking About Transition   Is your business truly ready—and are you?

We want our car to start when we turn the key. We want our refrigerator to keep our food cold and our freezer to keep it colder. We expect it to be hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and cooler in the spring and fall. We expect that four-letter "W" word to be around all the time. Consistent. Reliable. Predictable.That's what makes Jesus' parable in today's Gospel so maddeningly frustrating ... and at the same time wonderfully exhilarating! It's just not predictable. A farmer goes out to sow his seed, but he doesn't know what's going to grow or where or how. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. He just scatters the seed. We think how terribly wasteful and inefficient this is. We are the kind of people who pull out the tape measure to make sure we plant our cucumbers at ½ inch depth, our peppers 18 inches apart, and our tomatoes around May 31. We dig furrows, plant the seed, and put the little stakes at the end of each row -- all to maximize our garden's potential. Then, because it's Wyoming, we are pleasantly surprised when anything grows!Even with all that care and precision, we still have no idea how well our plants will grow. We do the work and let God do the rest. It is all very unpredictable.And that's exactly what Jesus is teaching us today. The seed of God's Word is wonderfully, maddeningly unpredictable. You can sow it, plant it or scatter it, but you don't know whether that Word is going to take root and grow or not. You don't know which seeds will be snatched or baked or choked ... or which will produce an abundant harvest.The Sower was reckless with his Seed, letting it fall where it may. And this is exactly what Jesus is doing as he scatters the seed of his Word to the "large crowds" that listened to him teach from the boat. Jesus scattered this seed to anyone within earshot -- the devout, the curious, the super-religious, the seekers, the skeptics, the Jewish opposition, the tax collectors, and sinners. He scattered the seed liberally -- not only to those whom he thinks will give the greatest return on the investment or on those who meet the proper demographics -- but to all.Jesus is teaching us to do exactly the same thing. We scatter the seed of his Word in as many ways, in as many places, to as many different people as we can. We scatter his seed to the big homes next to the golf course, the neighborhoods around the church, throughout Casper, and the communities of Bar Nunn, Mills, and Evansville. We hang flyers on doors and post reels on social media. We share God's Word on our webpage, YouTube, email, from the pulpit in church, and with adult instruction classes in people's homes. We share the Word with young families, the single mom, the widowed grandfather, the lonely teenager, the overwhelmed college student, the alcoholic businessman, the depressed housewife, and the cute little kids.But there is no predictability when or how or with whom the gospel seed grows. That's why we try to scatter the seed in so many ways. All God asks and expects us to do is scatter the seed and support the scattering with our time, effort, prayers, and offerings. He will bless the harvest.We plant the seeds, but some of the soil is hard. It isn't allowed to take root. These are the hearts (our hearts) that are stubborn and resistant, feeling no need to repent, no hunger or thirst for God's Word, and does not allow for conversion and change. If someone does not want God's gospel -- his free and unconditional forgiveness, his deliverance from death and the Devil, and his reconciliation with the holy God -- the Lord of the harvest does not force the gospel to stay but allows the seed to be snatched away. A Gideon's Bible in every hotel room and a church on every corner doesn't bother Satan if he can keep snatching the gospel from hard and stubborn hearts.Some of the seeds we sow will fall on ground cluttered with rocks and stones. Here the seed springs up quickly but cannot stand the heat. Satan loves a faith that is based on feelings, emotions, and convenience, rather than digging deep roots into Christ's gospel. It's a quick and easy faith of compromise, convenience, and mediocrity that cannot stand strong with the heat of challenges and conflicts, persecution and pain.Some of the seeds we scatter will fall on ground with weeds so there is competition. Competition with the difficulties at work, the struggles at home, the hurt feelings with friends, the worries and concerns of life, the vacationing and sleeping in, or the lusts of the flesh and the pleasures of the world. All these will choke the Word of God from growing in hearts and transforming lives.Totally unpredictable.Instead of predictability, we have something better -- we have God's promise through his prophet, "Just as the rain and the snow come down from the sky and do not return there unless they first water the earth, make it give birth, and cause it to sprout, so that it gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater, in the same way my word that goes out from my mouth will not return to me empty. Rather, it will accomplish whatever I please, and it will succeed in the purpose for which I sent it" (Isaiah 55:10-11). God's Word works. It will either be rejected or accepted. It will either be discounted or believed. It will either harden or convert. It will either create enemies or create saints.This is good! When things are in our hands, we can never be sure of the outcome. When we're on our own, what can we do? What can we accomplish? I can't even make my garden grow, let alone produce a harvest for God!But in God's hands -- his creating hands, his nail-pierced hands, his faith-instilling hands -- then we can be sure. Absolutely sure. Those hands, once pierced and fastened to the cross but now raised from the dead, are the hands that have defeated all our enemies and chase away the Evil One. Those are the hands that have taken the weeds and doubts of sin and pulled them up by the roots and forgiven them. Those are the hands that shield us from the burning persecution of Satan and shade us by his grace and care.These are the hands that take your hard, rocky, weed-infested soil and turns it over through the cultivating of his holy, inspired Word -- his Law and Gospel. The Law prepares the soil of the heart for the seed of the Gospel. The Law points out the rocks, weeds, and hard soil. It causes you to repent of those rocks, weeds, and hardness. It breaks up the rocks, pulls the weeds, and softens your hard heart.Then the Gospel cultivates your soil. You drink deeply of the water of your Baptism through repentance and absolution. You are nourished with the body and blood of Christ in the Lord's Supper. You are blessed with his benediction and grace. You are fertilized with all the nutrients you need to grow your faith through God's holy Scriptures.God, the ultimate Sower and the Lord of the harvest, will bring about the harvest he desires. What does this harvest look like? It's not simply a full sanctuary, increased Bible study attendance, and a budget in the black. It's a marvelously, miraculously, maddeningly unpredictable harvest 30, 60, 100 times what was sown. (If you've ever planted anything, you know how astronomically amazing those harvest numbers are.) This harvest displays itself in your life by worshiping weekly, praying constantly, studying daily, speaking truthfully, helping faithfully, serving consistently, loving unconditionally, and forgiving repeatedly. It's not often the big and spectacular that is accomplished, but rather the ordinary and mundane. It's hearing, understanding, and living the Word in your life, in your family, at your job, at your school, and with your friends. Producing fruit. Living as Christ. Loving as you have been loved. Forgiving as you have been forgiven. Serving as you have been served. These are the fruits of faith that are pleasing to the Sower.Let me tell you a story of how God works this in real life. Several years ago, I received an email in the spring asking if our church had a class on the basics of the Bible. The writer of the email said she had gone to a WELS church with a friend, was impressed, and wanted to learn more about the Bible. She had received flyers on her door in Racine from us in the past. She checked out the church on our webpage and even watched a few of my sermons. So, she joined the Bible Inquirer's Class I had just started. There wasn't really any intention of leaving her church and joining our Lutheran Church. But then God's Word began to dig roots, grow, and flourish. She found the truth of God's Word and the free forgiveness in Christ she had been missing her whole life. The Holy Spirit moved her to join our congregation that summer.But the story doesn't end there. While God's Word began to blossom and change her life, the Word also began to germinate within her two daughters. Her 9-year-old daughter would play with their 7-year-old neighbor, Gracie. After coming in to get dressed for church one day, her daughter said, "Gracie has never heard of God and Jesus and stuff ... so I told her about it."A few weeks later, Mom was folding laundry in her bedroom and noticed that her daughter and Gracie were sitting on the backsteps. Her daughter had out her Children's Bible and was reading Gracie the story of Adam and Eve, and Gracie looked incredibly taken by the story! Mom said that was even more amazing was that her daughter absolutely, positively, hates reading and will do just about anything to avoid it. And there she was, all on her own (with the help of the Holy Spirit, of course), reading the Bible to the neighbor girl. And enjoying it!Over the course of the summer, her two daughters read Gracie over 50 pages of the Bible. Then they both told their mom, "You know, Mom, the Bible is actually really interesting!"Then her 9-year-old explained that she had gotten out her old first communion dress and dressed Gracie in it. Then she got some water and baptized her!What an unpredictable but promised harvest! All from scattering the seed with a door hanger, a friendly invitation to church, and a webpage. Then the seed of the Word beginning to take root in Bible Class, maturing into membership, and blossoming in a family and a neighborhood.What is God going to accomplish in you and through you? I don't know. But I want you to eager to see the field ripe for harvest. God has planted his seed deep into your heart for a purpose, and he will see it through to completion. Let the Word take root in your heart. Continue to recklessly scatter the seed. Preach the Word and plant it home. Know that you have God's promise that his Word will produce a harvest. Not always the same harvest. Not always the harvest we're looking for or praying for. But it will be a marvelous, miraculous, maddeningly unpredictable, promised harvest. In you and through you. Good seed sprouting in good soil. Amen.

Hustle can get you started. But systems are what let you scale. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how to turn raw hustle into predictable infrastructure and build a company that does not depend on your personal adrenaline every day. Let's be real… If the business only moves when you move… If every task depends on your memory… If every new hire needs you to explain the same thing over and over… You do not have a scalable company. You have a treadmill. In this episode, you'll learn: Why brute force does not scale long term How undocumented processes turn founders into bottlenecks Why standard operating procedures create predictable execution How strong infrastructure makes your business more valuable and sellable The truth is simple: A real business needs a playbook. Not just hustle. Not just charisma. Not just late nights. Not just founder energy. It needs documented systems. Clear training. Quality control. Repeatable execution. And operators who can run the machine without needing you in every detail. High-level CEOs do not keep the process trapped in their head. They record it. Write it down. Train the team. Build the system. And eventually, the playbook starts running the company. Stop relying on adrenaline. Build the infrastructure. Empower the operators. Step into the visionary role. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Every startup pitch deck has a "why now" slide. Most of them are nonsense, barely considered, and only there to tick a box.But timing is more than a slide, it can make or break a company. It's the difference between pets.com and the trillion-dollar company selling the exact same idea a decade later.In this episode, Yaniv Bernstein sits down with Paul Orlando, who has built four startup accelerators supporting over 300 companies, including Hong Kong's first accelerator and a program in Rome run in partnership with the Vatican, and has taught entrepreneurship at USC for over a decade, where he also runs one of LA's largest startup incubators. Paul has spent years obsessing over a single question: why do some ideas succeed while near-identical ones fail years earlier? The answer became his book, ‘Why Now? How Good Timing Makes Great Products.'In this episode, you will:Learn Paul's framework of timing drivers, and the five that show up again and again: technology, social/behavioral change, regulation, installed base, and crisisWalk through the YouTube case study in detail to see how broadband penetration, digital camera adoption, and falling storage costs converged to make 2005 the right year, after the identical idea failed less than a decade earlierDiscover why first-mover advantage is much narrower than founders assume, and the two specific conditions (locking in customers, locking out competitors) required for it to actually workGet a framework for balancing founder agency against timing, because you can't will your way into good timing, but you also can't wait passively for the perfect moment to arriveTimestamps00:00 Coming Up...01:04 On Today's Show: Why Timing Matters01:44 Guest Intro: Paul Orlando02:42 Is 'Why Now' Predictable?05:40 Paul's Timing Drivers Framework08:44 Case Study: YouTube's Market Timing11:47 Business Model Shifts15:16 Case Study: Pets.com Unit Economics22:16 Case Study: AI Vibe Coding24:11 What Are 'Sleeping Beauty' Startups?27:46 Incorporating AI into Timing Drivers28:52 Collapse of Build Costs33:34 Case Study: Vera and Unit Economics of Voice35:15 False 'Why Now' Risks37:46 First Mover Reality40:33 Reid Hoffman on Blitzscaling41:49 Case Study: AT&T's Picturephone and Mobile Telephony46:31 Lessons on Failure and Agency54:09 Closing ThoughtsResources mentioned'Why Now?: How Good Timing Makes Great Products' by Paul Orlando: https://www.amazon.com/Why-Now-Timing-Makes-Products/dp/B0CYXSNMT3Paul's website, Startups Unplugged: https://startupsunplugged.comPaul on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/porlandoPaul on X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/porlandoThe PactHonor the Startup Podcast Pact!

Predictable revenue creates predictable freedom. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why recurring revenue is one of the strongest business models for building stability, valuation, and long-term wealth. Let's be real… If every month starts at zero… And you have to chase every dollar all over again… You are not building peace of mind. You are building pressure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why one-time sales can create unstable cash flow How recurring revenue turns clients into long-term value Why subscriptions, retainers, and residual systems increase business stability How predictable income can raise your company's valuation and reduce financial anxiety The truth is simple: The goal is not just to make a sale. The goal is to build continuity. Monthly retainers. Subscription access. Usage-based billing. Maintenance packages. Residual income streams. Systems that create value every month and get paid every month. High-level operators do not want to restart from zero every thirty days. They engineer recurring revenue. They build retention.

The dominant structural shift underlined in this episode is the removal of the pricing floor for undifferentiated, repeatable IT work due to agentic AI adoption, especially in IT services and MSP operations. As described by Dave Sobel, this shift is not about wholesale job elimination but about AI absorbing routine, predictable execution, leaving human operators responsible for judgment and oversight. This change is illustrated by organizations such as OpenAI, where 97.9% of employees use AI agents, and by sector-wide hiring data tracked by SignalFire, revealing that software engineers—previously considered vulnerable—remain the largest share of new hires. The most consequential development is the clear division between executional work and judgment-based roles. Data from SignalFire shows that software engineers make up 55% of new tech hires, contrary to predictions of their displacement by AI. Similarly, ISC2's Cybersecurity Workforce Survey, reported by Dark Reading, finds entry-level cybersecurity roles are evolving rather than disappearing, with AI taking over routine triage and increasing demand for higher-level judgment skills. OpenAI's near-universal internal AI adoption supports the notion that employees are adapting their roles rather than being replaced outright. Further supporting developments include evidence from SplashTop, which measured that 53% of IT team capacity is spent on endpoint maintenance and repetitive tasks, areas highly susceptible to automation. The effect is heightened by macro trends—cited from Axios Macro and the NFIB—showing small businesses are actively reducing hiring plans and seeking solutions that remove the need for headcount growth. New MSP offerings, such as managed support teams available within 30 days, are scrutinized for repackaging traditional labor models vulnerable to rapid automation. For MSPs and IT service providers, the operational implication is the urgent need to reevaluate service lines, staffing, and pricing models. Services based on predictable, repeatable execution now face competition from AI-driven agentic work that operates with negligible marginal cost, eroding the business case for labor arbitrage and body-shopping models. The path to defensibility shifts toward services that require human judgment, oversight, and outcome-based delivery, with increased risk for firms reliant on commoditized execution. Sorting offerings by their exposure to automation and focusing investment in non-automatable, judgment-driven roles becomes a practical risk mitigation approach. 00:00 The Most-Hired Casualty  04:19 Which Half It Eats 07:06 The Rent-a-Team Trap 09:47 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Pax8  Sign up for the SMB Online Conference: www.smbonlineconference.com

Olaitan Fashanu: Three Teams, Three Backlogs, One Feature—Can You Make Them See Each Other? Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "How do we ensure that these teams actually work together to show the same data?" - Olaitan Fashanu   Olaitan brings a problem most Scrum Masters in scaled environments will recognize. Three teams. Three separate backlogs. One product, accessed across app, web, and support channels. Leadership made a top-down team topologies decision: split the work to move faster. Predictable result—each team optimizes for their own backlog, blind to what the others are building, sometimes shipping the same feature twice with different behaviors. The product owners know there's overlap. The teams love the idea of linking tickets across backlogs. They just won't maintain the habit. Olaitan and Vasco walk through experiments together: a sync between POs, joint refinement sessions, linking tickets, putting "this is also being built by Team B" notes at the top of stories. The deeper insight: the Scrum Master's job is to keep surfacing information until a habit forms. As Vasco's old lifting coach put it—you find the imbalance, you get rid of the imbalance, one by one. That's how you get stronger.   In this episode, we refer to team topologies and the practice of surfacing information across team boundaries.   Self-reflection Question: Where in your organization are teams unknowingly building the same thing twice—and what's the smallest experiment you could run this week to make that visible?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Stephen shares his family's entrepreneurial roots and why he believes risk tolerance, strategic clarity, and team-building form the core of any founder's DNA.They cover the "ones and threes" revenue friction points, Predictive ROI's three pillars of growth (grow audience, nurture leads, increase sales), and why trust has moved so far upstream in B2B buying that most prospects are already pre-sold before a first conversation.

What if the answer isn't creating more content? In today's episode, I sit down with Tianna Mamalick, marketing strategist, founder of SMB Marketing School, and an expert in helping service-based businesses generate predictable leads through paid ads and SEO. This conversation is a refreshing reality check for entrepreneurs who feel exhausted trying to keep up with social media, constantly creating content, and chasing visibility. We dive into the idea that many of our goals, to-do lists, and even business strategies may be rooted in old conditioning rather than true alignment. Tianna shares why more content isn't always the answer, how to build a business that doesn't depend on you being online 24/7, and what it really takes to create sustainable growth in different seasons of life and business. If you've ever wondered whether there's a better way to grow your business without burnout, this episode is for you. In This Episode We Discuss: Why so many goals and business habits may be trauma responses The hidden cost of being "always on" How social media became the default marketing strategy for most entrepreneurs Creating predictable lead generation outside of social media Why paid ads and SEO can create long-term business stability The importance of preparing your business for seasons when you can't be as visible Why saying one thing 100 times is more effective than saying 100 different things The difference between being busy and actually moving the needle How to build a business that supports your life, not consumes it Connect with Tianna: Instagram: @smbmarketingschool Connect with Felicia: Instagram: @feliciaromero Enjoying the Podcast?

The Systems Behind a $2.2M Maternity Leave Natalie Ellis took three months completely offline after her second daughter was born. No Slack, no email, no podcast. Her team did $2.2 million in revenue during that window with zero ad spend. Natalie is the founder and CEO of BossBabe, she's crossed $40 million in lifetime revenue on under $3 million in total ad spend, and her brand-new book The Freedom-Based Business Method is out now. In this conversation, Natalie walks me through the exact systems she built so her business could run on its own. She also gets honest about the moment she realized her million-dollar business had quietly become a job she couldn't quit. We dig into the alignment audit she has every founder run before touching a funnel, the "one number" that makes revenue predictable, and why she's never been willing to burn out her audience for a sales spike. Natalie pulls back the curtain on all of it, including the Walmart licensing deal she rarely talks about and the exact rhythm her team runs when she's nowhere near her laptop. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Revenue highs are exciting. The unexplainable dips that follow? Not so much. If you are a female founder making six figures or more annually, the problem isn't that things aren't working. It's that you can't yet see what is. And you can't repeat what you can't see. My free live training, The Revenue Consistency Formula, fixes that. Click here to join. High-six-figures is a ceiling for a reason. What got you here stops working here. If you're a female founder earning $500K or more annually and you've already tried it all, what you need next isn't another strategy. It's someone inside your business showing you the way forward. The Milly Club is my private six-month coaching program for women growing toward their first million. Apply here.  The Freedom-Based Business Method by Natalie Ellis BossBabe Natalie Ellis on Instagram HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Hitting a million doesn't mean the business is built — Natalie made her first million with one $29 membership and a single webinar funnel, then made the mistake most successful founders make. She stopped doubling down on what was working and chased new offers and channels instead. Crossing a revenue milestone is the signal to deepen what's working, not the permission to take your attention off it. 2️⃣ Predictable revenue starts with knowing your one number — Every business has one metric that drives the rest. Webinar sign-ups, sales calls booked, email opt-ins. Once you know yours and build your daily activities around it, revenue stops spiking and lulling. Most founders are running 40 things at once and tracking none, which is why their months look so different from each other. 3️⃣ Your audience's trust is the asset, and you can't get it back once you burn it — Natalie has crossed $40 million in revenue on under $3 million in ad spend because she's protected that trust at every turn. She's said no to sponsorships and promo pushes that would've spiked short-term cash. Founders who treat their audience like a one-time spike machine end up rebuilding their list every year and wondering why nothing converts.MORE FROM ME Follow me on Instagram @amyporterfield SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

What if raising secure kids has less to do with what you do wrong as a parent — and more to do with teaching them to build the right relationships from the start? My guest this week is Dr. Amir Levine, molecular neuroscientist, child psychiatrist, and associate professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University. His new book, Secure: The Revolutionary Guide to Creating a Secure Life, offers a unified theory of relationships with surprisingly concrete tools for building security at any age. This episode shares specific, teachable tools for helping kids of all ages — including neurodivergent kids — move through the world with greater security. What you'll learn: Why less than 10% of adult attachment style can be explained by parenting and why that's good news if you've been worrying you've already "done something wrong" What CARP means (Consistent, Available, Responsive, Reliable, Predictable) and why teaching kids to look for CARP friends can shape their relationship patterns for life Why our brains chase drama and ignore the secure people already around us and how to redirect toward a "secure village" How small, everyday micro-interactions create structural changes in the brain and why each one is an opportunity This episode is brought to you buy: BetterHelp: You don't have to say yes to everything this summer.
