JD Vance has been in the Cotswolds this week on his Britain fantasy tour. This has been billed as a ‘holiday' but he did take the time out of his busy schedule to meet with some of Britain's right-wing politicians. Robert Jenrick, Chris Philp and Nigel Farage were all granted an audience with the vice-president, and even Danny Kruger and pillow salesman/Apprentice star Thomas Skinner got the call-up. The notable exclusion is, of course, Kemi Badenoch, who despite claiming to be firm friends with Vance was NFI'd. CCHQ claim this is due to scheduling, but clearly it's an embarrassing snub. So who is MAGA's favourite UK politician? And do the American right even care about what's going on in Britain?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Freddy Gray.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Ann Pells shows aspiring entrepreneurs how to acquire already profitable, professionally managed small businesses that can net $10K/month—while requiring only about an hour a week to oversee. Drawing on her own journey from financial crisis to portfolio business owner, Ann explains how to find, fund, and operate recession-resistant companies without becoming a full-time operator yourself. On this episode we cover: From pink slip to passive ownershipYears ago, Ann's family was blindsided when her husband was laid off—their only income source at the time. With three young kids, she vowed never to rely on one job again. After trying time-intensive real estate investing, she realized she needed teams and systems to create income without 60–80 hour work weeks. The turning pointFive years ago, she discovered a funding and management team (via a 5‑minute YouTube video) that helped her pay off her house in five years and access $200K for business acquisitions. That same team now helps her—and her clients—find, vet, fund, and manage those businesses. First acquisition Type: Water delivery service (home essentials niche) Structure: Partnered with ~10 existing investors, stepped into a deal mid-process with management team in place. Why that industry: Recession-resistant necessity (like plumbing, HVAC, medical, funeral homes, etc.). Deal sourcing Common public marketplaces: BizBuySell, Website Closers, etc. Ann's management team does the research, shortlists candidates that match her criteria, and later operates the business post-close. Location can be local or remote if a strong manager is in place. Buyer criteria Target: ~25% profit margin Industries with steady demand regardless of economy. Prefer businesses already running well—opportunities to add tech or optimization for increased value at resale. Always buy with an exit strategy in mind (3–5 year horizon), even if planning to hold long term. Financing approaches Revenue-based financing: Loans underwritten on the target business's financials, not the buyer's personal credit. Seller financing where possible. Partnering to share risk and split profits. Her current portfolio 4 operating businesses Purchasing 2 more now Leverages same management/funding network for all deals Practical Advice for Aspiring Acquirers: Think recession resistance: Focus on “needs” industries like home services, healthcare, essentials. Use other people's expertise: Partner with existing managers and acquisition pros—don't try to play every role. Let the numbers guide you: Profit margin, stable cash flow, and solid P&L history matter more than “charm” or trendiness. Ask “How can I?” not “Can I?” — Shifts your brain into solution-finding mode. Top 3 Takeaways: Buying beats building: Acquire something already working with cash flow and processes in place. Partnering & management = leverage: You don't need to personally operate the business to benefit from it. Funding is out there: Revenue-based and seller financing can drastically reduce or eliminate upfront out-of-pocket costs. Notable Quotes: “Instead of telling ourselves we can't, ask: How can I?” “We don't buy to give ourselves another job—we buy with management teams in place so it's hours a week, not hours a day.” “Recession-resistant means: people need it whether the economy booms or busts.” Connect with Ann Pells: Website: lifegiverlegacy.com

In today's episode, Nikki Lacherza-Drew, PsyD, founder of Couch Side Coordinators, joins me to talk about why outsourcing is essential for a sustainable private practice.

Nikki shares her own journey, the most common areas therapists need help with (think SEO and social media), and practical tips for delegating effectively and setting goals when you bring someone on board.

In this episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by Mike Michalowicz, author of nine business books including Profit First and The Pumpkin Plan, to explore how entrepreneurs can escape what he calls “entrepreneurial poverty” and create a business that runs smoothly, profitably and in alignment with their strengths. Mike shares why the secret to growth isn't serving everyone, but identifying the right clients, pricing in a way that reflects your true value, and letting go of the rest (without guilt). We talk about why bad-fit clients drain more than your bank account, how to attract people who value what you offer, and why you should always love yourself enough to charge what you're worth. If you've been caught in the cycle of over-delivering, undercharging, and feeling too stretched to serve your best clients well, this conversation will help you see a simpler, more sustainable path forward - one that makes space for better clients, better work and a better life. ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH instead of read? Click here to watch this episode on YouTube ‍ ‍ “Price is the ultimate marketing method. It tells the world how valuable you believe your work is.” – Mike Michalowicz ‍ ‍ Why Pricing is More Than a Number Most entrepreneurs fear raising prices, but as Mike explains, pricing isn't just about covering costs. It's a signal to the market about the quality and impact of your work. When you charge appropriately, you attract clients who align with your value, and you create the capacity to serve them at your best. ‍ ‍ Letting Go of the Wrong Clients It's tempting to hold on to every paying client, but the wrong ones cost far more than they contribute. Mike shares strategies for identifying unfit clients, and how to release them in a way that's professional, kind, and freeing - making space for your business to grow in the right direction. ‍ ‍ “Your best business will always grow from your best clients. Focus there, and create more space for them to thrive with you.” – Mike Michalowicz ‍ ‍ The Three Questions that Unlock Growth Mike offers three simple but powerful questions to ask your best clients, questions that reveal what makes you stand out, how you can differentiate yourself from the industry, and where to find more people just like them. ‍ ‍ From “Doing it All” to Designing a Business that Runs Without You We discuss the trap of the “superhero entrepreneur” who tries to do everything themselves, and why true leadership means designing a business that thrives without your constant presence. Mike explains how he tests this by taking a four-week (sometimes seven-week) annual vacation, and how it's made his business stronger. ‍ ‍ If you only take one thing away from this episode… Your best business will come from your best clients. Focus on them, price in alignment with your value, and give your business the space it needs to grow - without burning yourself out. ‍ ‍ Final Thought to Reflect On? What could change for you if you stopped competing for every client - and started leading in your own niche, with quiet confidence and clear value? ‍ Want to explore what this could look like for you?Learn more about the ways you can work with Melitta Campbell to uncover your Value Sweet Spot to market, sell and grow your business confidently, and always on your terms.

What if the secret to lasting health isn't found in the perfect workout or diet plan, but in how you show up to your relationships every single day? In this grounding episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Gabby Reece, volleyball legend, entrepreneur, mother of three, and co-founder of Laird Superfood, to explore what it really means to make health a priority in a world designed to keep us distracted. Gabby reveals her most powerful practices, from getting sunlight in her eyes first thing in the morning to her daily "weeding" ritual that keeps her relationships clean and her emotional slate clear. We dive deep into why she believes "it's all mental" and how every interaction becomes an opportunity for spiritual growth.

Top Stories for August 12th Publish Date: August 12th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 12th and Happy Birthday to Pete Sampras I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Does GCPS make the grade? Central Gwinnett grad to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo Lanier Education Foundation awards $20K to Cluster schools, funds two scholarships All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Does GCPS make the grade? “Get a good education.” We’ve all heard it a million times, right? But what does that even mean anymore? And how’s Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) holding up under the weight of that promise? Well, it’s complicated—like, really complicated. COVID flipped everything upside down. Kids learning on screens, parents suddenly hyper-aware of what’s being taught, teachers scrambling to adapt. It wasn’t pretty. And now? GCPS is still untangling the mess: learning loss, absenteeism, behavior issues. But they’re trying. Social workers, behavioral coaches, literacy plans—it’s all part of their “Blueprint for the Future.” Progress? Sure. Perfection? Not even close. Education’s messy. Always has been. Always will be. STORY 2: Central Gwinnett grad to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo Tawnecia Rush has been wearing hearing aids since she was 9. Conversations? She’s got them down—sharp focus, expert lip reading, and the occasional “Pardon?” when she needs something repeated. But on the basketball court? It’s like a whole different language—fluid, instinctive, no barriers. Growing up in Lawrenceville, she honed her skills playing with her dad and brothers at the Boys & Girls Club, eventually suiting up for Central Gwinnett High. Now, two decades later, she’s earned a spot on the USA Deaf Women’s Basketball team, heading to Tokyo for the Deaflympics this November. “This is huge,” Rush said. “A chance to compete against the best, no limits, no excuses.” Her drive didn’t stop on the court. After two years at Gallaudet University, immersed in deaf culture and basketball, she transferred to Kennesaw State to finish her marketing degree. STORY 3: Lanier Education Foundation awards $20K to Cluster schools, funds two scholarships The Lanier Education Foundation just handed out $20,000 to the schools in the Lanier Cluster—split evenly, of course—and also funded the Lanier Leadership Conference and the Cluster’s multilingual programs. Oh, and two Lanier High grads, Kori Joseph (now at Georgia College & State) and Gabryelle Walker (Kennesaw State), each snagged a $1,000 “Make A Difference” Scholarship. It’s a little financial boost for students heading to college, trade school, or wherever their next chapter takes them. The Lanier Cluster includes Lanier High, Lanier Middle, and three elementary schools: Sugar Hill, Sycamore, and White Oak. Want to help? Visit laniereducationfoundation.org. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 4: Man dead after shooting at Snellville area home Gwinnett County Police are digging into a deadly shooting that went down Friday night in unincorporated Snellville, leaving one man dead. It happened around 7 p.m. on the 3900 block of Lee Road. A call came in about a dispute—then gunfire. When officers arrived, they found a man with gunshot wounds and tried to help. He was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it. One person was detained at the scene and is being questioned. Police say it’s a homicide investigation, but the motive? Still unclear. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet—next of kin need to be notified first. If you know anything, call Gwinnett detectives at 770-513-5300. Prefer to stay anonymous? Hit up Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. There’s even a cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest. STORY 5: Lawrenceville mourning death of former City Manager Bob Baroni Lawrenceville is mourning the loss of Bob Baroni, the city’s first-ever manager and a man who dedicated more than four decades to shaping the town he loved. Baroni, 80, passed away Tuesday. Baroni wore many hats—parks and rec director, city clerk, and finally city manager. He oversaw projects like the construction of City Hall and was known for his steady leadership and fiscal smarts. Even after retiring in 2015, he stayed on as a consultant to help the city transition. “We’ve built a family here,” Baroni said at the time. His funeral was held Saturday at Tim Stewart Funeral Home in Loganville. He was laid to rest at Oconee Memorial Park in Watkinsville. Break: STORY 6: Gwinnett Sheriff's Office looking at expanding county jail The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is eyeing a big change—expanding the jail with a new tower. Why? Well, the current setup is showing its age, and the inmate population has jumped 35% since 2021. That’s a lot of strain on a facility that’s been around since 1991. Chief Deputy Cleo Atwater told the county’s budget review committee on Wednesday that it’s time to secure funding for this project. The newer Wimbley Tower, built in 2006, has seen updates—control boards, cameras, even door indicator lights—but the older building? It’s stuck in the past. Reinforced doors with security flaps? Not possible. And with 2,400 inmates now (up from 1,800), plus the need for better mental health and medical care spaces, the pressure’s on. Atwater says they’re committed to making this happen by 2026. STORY 7: 'Great bargains' —Kidsignments is back this week at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds The Kidsignments sale is back at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds this week, running through Saturday—and if you’ve got kids, you need to check it out. Organizer Jeri Lynn gets it: “Times are tough, and we’re thrilled to help parents stretch their dollars. Over 1,000 families are participating, so the selection is going to be amazing—everything from baby gear to teen clothes, toys, bikes, you name it.” It’s all gently used, high-quality stuff—perfect for sustainable parenting without breaking the bank. Seriously, don’t miss it. For details, head to kidsignments.com. Your wallet will thank you. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Feeling trapped in agency work because of the benefits?   In today's Ask Allison, I'm breaking down what it really looks like to leave an agency job for private practice when health insurance, PTO, and retirement plans feel like the golden handcuffs.   We'll look at the actual numbers—using conservative national averages—so you can see how your take-home pay, time off, and quality of life can change when you're in control. I'll also cover how to replace your benefits, what an S Corp can save you in taxes, and why “free” perks at your agency might be costing you more than you think.   By the end, you'll have a clear picture of what's possible—and the steps you can take right now to get there.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Use promo code Abundant for 2 months free    Grab our free tools to grow your practice—weekly worksheets, the Tasky Checklist, and more: www.abundancepracticebuilding.com/links   Ready to fill your practice faster?

Ashlee Sang, the founder of Ashlee Sang Consulting, joined me on LinkedIn Live to discuss creative marketing practices under constraints. Ashlee explains her work with multi-passionate and deep-thinking individuals to help them bring their ideas into the world through brand messaging and related marketing consulting. She discusses ethical marketing strategies, including attraction and consent-based marketing, which focus on building trustworthy, human-centric connections rather than manipulative tactics. Ashlee emphasizes the importance of creating relatable and clear website copy, and effective elevator pitches that move away from generic and jargon-filled descriptions. She touches upon the alignment of her values-based business model with effective client relationships, highlighting that most clients seek clear and empathetic communication over typical legal jargon. Ashlee also explores practical ways for lawyers to differentiate themselves through personalized branding and storytelling. We delve into the utility of AI tools for simplifying lawyer-client interactions and enhancing relatability. Ashlee advocates for a retainer model in her consulting practice, echoing themes of trust and long-term client engagement that resonate with subscription-based legal services.__________________________Check out Ashlee Sang.Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.Get Connected with SixFifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gavel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an automation platform for law firms.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Law Subscribed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

‍ New: Valora - Your AI Business Coach Turn the wisdom from this episode into practical actions for your business in minutes. Click here now to access the tool > ‍ Rethinking Sales: Adding More Heart and Less Hustle What if selling your services could feel as natural as helping a friend—without the scripts, the struggle, or trying to be someone you're not? In this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by Suman Randhawa, author of More Heart, Less Hustle.  Suman brings decades of sales expertise and a refreshingly human approach to growing your business. We explore how selling can feel like a natural extension of your values, especially if you're introverted, quietly ambitious, or simply want your business to feel more ‘you'. If you're tired of sales advice that asks you to shout louder, hustle harder, or squeeze yourself into someone else's template, this conversation will feel like a soft Ugg slipper—familiar, grounding, and quietly powerful ‍ ‍ Prefer to WATCH instead of read? Here's the video version of this episode ‍ “Sales is not something separate to us. It's simply about making it easier for someone to find a solution to their desire or problem.” – Suman Randhawa ‍ ‍ Sales with Heart: Why More Hustle Isn't the Answer Many of us have grown up with the myth that to sell well, we need to be someone we're not. But as Suman shares, her three decades in advertising, luxury retail, and coaching have shown that real sales success comes from relationships rooted in trust, warmth, and consistency. What happens when you let go of the “shoulds”, the ‘seven doors', the ‘five rules' or the ‘nine steps' everyone swears by? You start creating your own way, one that feels aligned with who you are and how you naturally connect. ‍ Selling Without Being Loud If you shudder at the idea of aggressive scripts or cookie-cutter templates, you're not alone. Suman's journey reveals that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach, and that quiet, reflective entrepreneurs can thrive when they anchor their sales process in empathy, clarity, and real connection. ‍   “Sales done badly is what we all try to avoid. But sales done well doesn't feel like selling at all—it feels like helping.” - Suman Randhawa ‍ ‍ Finding Your Authentic Sales Voice How do you become magnetic to your dream clients, without ever feeling manipulative or inauthentic? It starts with your authentic sales voice: ‍ Speaking with sincerity, not scripts. Sharing what you stand for, clearly and consistently. Letting your values do the heavy lifting, rather than relying on hustle. This is where “Value Whispering” comes alive: when you communicate your value so clearly and kindly, others start repeating your message for you. It's the opposite of chasing; it's about quietly becoming the obvious choice for those you're here to serve. ‍ ‍ How Do You Know Which Sales Advice to Trust? If you've ever received advice from “experts” that didn't sit right with you, know that you don't have to listen and you can choose an approach that feels more you. Suman offers a practical litmus test to help you determine which advice is right for you: Do you trust the source, and do they understand your style? Is your resistance based on fear, or is it a sign this advice isn't aligned with your values? Often, the best way forward is to listen for resonance, not volume. When you trust your instincts, sales becomes less about overcoming objections, and more about opening doors for the right people. ‍ ‍ Gentle Outreach and Permission-Based Selling If you do reach out to potential clients, think of it as starting a conversation not a pitch. Simple, genuine curiosity goes further than any script. And when it's time to share your offer, always seek permission. This creates a sense of partnership, not pressure. ‍ ‍ Practical Tips for Selling Network in Your Own Way: Social media is a tool, not a rule. Find what works for you, whether that's online groups, in-person events, or close-knit circles. Repetition Builds Recognition: Your dream clients spend most of their time not thinking about you—so repeat your core message until it becomes second nature (to you and to them). Self-Belief is Magnetic: When you believe in your offer and show up with genuine intent, clients sense that energy—and are far more likely to say yes. Introverts: Play to Your Strengths: Listening, thoughtful questions, and structure are secret sales superpowers. ‍ DM Done Right: Reach out with genuine curiosity, not a pitch. Seek connection, not conversion. ‍ Final Thought to Reflect On? What would change for you if you saw sales as an act of service, not a performance? How might your business grow if you led with more heart and less hustle, and let your authentic voice be enough? ‍ Want to explore what this could look like for you?Learn more about the ways you can work with Melitta Campbell to uncover your Value Sweet Spot to market, sell and grow your business confidently, and always on your terms.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hutchinson —entrepreneur, investor, undercover operative, and executive producer of Sound of Freedom — to uncover the real stories behind the film and the mindset shift that led him from building a $20B fund to rescuing over 7,000 trafficked children across the globe. This isn't just a conversation about child trafficking. It's about transformation; how the skills of persuasion, tonality, and emotional intelligence can be used not just to sell, but to liberate. Paul reveals how his ability to influence in high-stakes negotiations saved lives and how changing the man in the mirror is what really changes the world.

What if the shadow parts you've been trying to heal, fix, or transcend are actually your greatest source of creative power? In this profound episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily reunites with her beloved friend Sarah Jenks, ordained priestess, mother, and founder of the 13 Moon Mystery School, for a conversation that will forever change how you relate to your pain, your shadows, and your power. Sarah opens up about her core wound of wanting to be liked and accepted, and how everything in her life—business, marriage, friendships—started crumbling as she approached her priestess ordination. Instead of trying to fix or bypass these patterns, she learned to descend into what we call the "sacred sewer" to meet the parts of herself she thought were unlovable. In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ How to work with internal darkness (micro) and world pain (macro) simultaneously ✨ Why suffering is actually an avoidance of going all the way into the darkness ✨ The revolutionary practice of creating ceremony around your shadows ✨ How to sit with shame and rage until they alchemize into creative power ✨ The suppressed history of Mary Magdalene as Christ's equal and initiator ✨ Why the removal of the Divine Feminine was psychological warfare ✨ How your capacity for darkness directly expands your capacity for joy Sarah demonstrates her process for descending into the depths, feeling everything fully, and allowing the natural alchemy that happens when we stop fighting our feelings and start dancing with them. We explore how this work isn't just personal healing, it's essential preparation for serving the world during these intense times. This conversation bridges ancient feminine wisdom with practical shadow work, showing how the compost of our pain becomes the fertile ground for our greatest gifts.
