    You're doing everything: editing late at night, juggling clients, parenting, pricing. Yet your bank account doesn't reflect the hustle. Why? Because more clients at the wrong price doesn't mean more profit. It means burnout. If you're ready to earn more without losing yourself, this episode is your wake-up call. This week, Sarah shares 7 portrait pricing secrets photographers aren't being told. These aren't theories. They're hard-won lessons from going broke at $75 sessions to building a profitable studio that lets her show up for life, not just work. If your schedule is full but your wallet is empty, this one's for you. ● Why more sessions = more stress, not more money (and how to flip that equation) ● The subtle pricing shift that makes clients expect to spend more ● How to stop negotiating with yourself and finally price with confidence You don't need more clients. You need the right clients, the right system, and the courage to believe your work is worth more. Let this episode be the turning point.

    Rare Earths, Global Conflicts, and Reimagining Democracy. Gregory Copley analyzes China's rare earth monopoly, noting it was achieved through low pricing and unsafe practices but is now eroding as global suppliers ramp up production. He reviews current global conflicts, viewing the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford battle group near Venezuela as a test of brinkmanship, and citing Kyiv's admission of losses in Ukraine. Copley also argues that democracy is "dead," advocating for a return to defining the spirit of a social contract rather than relying on mutable laws. 1862 PLATO SYMPOSIUM VIA MUNICH

    This episode features speakers from the 2025 ADSA Applied Nutrition Symposium, “Milk Pricing Dynamics and Strategies for Enhancing Milk Fat Production.” Dr. Lock gave the highlights of his presentation on dietary opportunities for promoting milk fat.  (2:18)Dr. St. Pierre's presentation focused on the change we've had in the way milk and its components are priced. (5:25)Dr. Van Amburgh's symposium talk covered amino acid supplementation to high producing cows eliciting more of a milk fat response than a milk protein response. (9:31)Dr. Van Amburgh and Dr. Lock talk about where butyrate fits into milk fat synthesis. Dr. Van Amburgh shares some of his experiences with grass-based dairy diets in Ireland and how those might influence milk fat production. The group discusses de novo and preformed fat synthesis and how diets may or may not influence those two mechanisms. (12:16)The guests talk about an abstract from Dr. Van Amburgh's lab at the ADSA meetings about supplemental lysine levels. This leads into a discussion of lactose production and fluid milk volume, as well as feedback from cheese processors and the impact of supplemental chromium on milk production parameters. (22:31)Dr. St. Pierre talks about cheese processor concerns with increased milk fat concentrations, milk pricing structures, and milk perishability. (28:27)The panel discusses metabolizable protein, essential, non-essential, and branched-chain amino acids, and how the view of fatty acids and amino acids has changed from simple substrates to make milk components to compounds with biogenic activities. (36:20)Dr. St. Pierre talks about the inaugural Industry Day at the 2025 ADSA meetings and goals for similar future events. (43:01)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

    When many law‑ and consulting‑firms ask "Which AI tool do we buy?" they're missing the bigger shift: the very business model is changing. In this episode, Mary sits down with David Duncan and Tyler Anderson—two long‑time service‑firm innovators—to explore how AI is not just a new tool, but a structural force reshaping professional services: staffing models, pricing, talent, and even the nature of expertise. In this episode: The pyramid unravels: We revisit the traditional "analyst → manager → partner" model and why AI is eroding the base layers. From pyramid to obelisk: David and Tyler explain why the future staffing architecture looks more like a narrow obelisk than a wide pyramid. AI‑native vs. retrofit: Are you building your firm around AI or simply bolting AI on? The difference is profound. Pricing and incentives under pressure: If AI reduces hours and increases speed, how do firms preserve value and avoid racing toward the billable‑hour death spiral? Talent, apprenticeship & judgement: With junior work being automated, how will younger professionals develop deep judgment? What happens to the craft of the profession? Incumbents vs. attackers: Why nimble AI‑first boutiques may have the attacker's advantage, and what legacy firms must do to remain relevant. Opportunity vs. risk mindset: David closes with a powerful framing—see AI not as a threat to be managed but as an opportunity to be seized. If you're in legal or professional services and wrestling with how AI fits into your firm's model—not just your tech stack—this is a must‑listen.

Starting with over $400K in student debt, he's built a wedding business that now books $30K+ weddings and has his entire year's expenses covered by the first month. John shares the psychology behind premium pricing, why cash flow equals creative freedom, and how getting specific about your ideal client changes everything about your business. Key Takeaways When you don't need the money, you come across completely different in sales calls—clients can sense desperation vs. abundance Getting laser-focused on your ideal client (not just any client with money) is what allows you to charge premium rates Cash is oxygen for your business—sometimes picking up part-time work is the smartest move to take pressure off while you build Consistency in the right activities (not just any activities) is what creates long-term success in creative businesses About John Bunn John Bunn is a wedding industry educator and mentor who has dedicated his career to elevating professionals through practical, results-driven education. After starting his own wedding video business in 2007, Bunn went on to film and photograph over 550 weddings, gaining deep insights into what truly drives success in the industry. Since transitioning to education in 2018, Bunn has mentored and worked with tens of thousands of wedding professionals, focusing on what he calls "the things that nobody wants to talk about" — the fundamental business practices that create lasting success beyond fleeting trends. Bunn's approach is rooted in real-world experience and a belief that sustainable success comes from shifting focus to what actually matters. His passion for teaching stems from the countless success stories he's witnessed, from working mothers who've transitioned to full-time wedding businesses to professionals finally booking their dream clients. Known for his straightforward, no-nonsense approach, Bunn emphasizes that "trends come, and trends go, but those who shift their focus and put in the work are the true success stories." His mission is to help wedding professionals cut through industry noise and concentrate on the strategies that will genuinely impact their businesses and families. As both mentor and coach, Bunn brings over 15 years of hands-on wedding industry experience combined with a track record of transforming careers through focused, practical education.

    In this episode, Eric Coffie delivers a hard truth: government contracting has always been a relationship business—and the only reason most small businesses are missing out is because they're not showing up. Eric breaks down how power players build connections with decision-makers, why networking is non-negotiable, and how intentional events—not random parties—create million-dollar opportunities. He challenges listeners to stop doubting and start doing, because every contract starts with a conversation. Key Takeaways: Relationships drive results—your network is your pipeline. Show up where decisions are made; proximity creates opportunity. Doubt doesn't pay—action and visibility do.

    Bill Diggons, managing partner at Qittitut Consulting (yes, named after a fast-growing, healthy Inuit bear), shares 24 years of pricing wisdom earned across 182 projects in 57 countries. A disciple of pricing legend Tom Nagle and former oil industry marketer at Schlumberger and Halliburton, Bill reveals why single-column bids are leaving 3-5 margin points on the table and how tiering transforms B2B pricing. From Wagyu beef pricing psychology to semiconductor de-specification strategies, Bill and Mark debate whether prices should be easy or hard to compare, why "Boss Hog" beats techno-nerd names, and the counterintuitive power of ending prices in odd numbers instead of zeros. Plus, why Bill charges $5,000 extra just to read client contracts.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover why tiering consistently delivers 3-5 margin points minimum—and how three-column bids with strategic naming force buyers to make trade-offs instead of price comparisons. Learn the "no zeros" pricing rule that generated $8 million in three months by making prices look carefully calculated rather than negotiable. Master the art of non-compliant RFP responses with alternatives that disrupt tender processes and win on value instead of lowest price.   "Not profound, but no zeros on the quote. It's so often that we can get half a margin point just out of stuff like that. And then beyond that, try some naming and tiering because it's going to work for you." – Bill Diggons   Topics Covered: 02:09 - The Qittitut Origin Story: Why a Dancing Bear Beat "Bill & Bob's Consulting". 05:39 - What is Tiering? Moving Beyond Single-Column Bids. 10:07 - The Restaurant Menu Masterclass and Boss Hog's Emotional Appeal - How to Decide What Features Go in What Tiers. 19:02 - Responding to RFPs with Tiered Alternatives and Non-Compliant Bids. 20:02 - The Power of "Networking Best Practices Meeting" vs. "Presentation". 26:23 - Final Advice: No Zeros on the Quote (And Why It Generated $8 Million). 28:12 - Contacting Bill and Why He Charges $5,000 to Read Contracts.   Key Takeaways: "Tiering to me is having at least a three-column bid, naming the columns, and then having some names on the products or services to imply added value. Whenever we've introduced this, it always results in three to five margin points minimum." - Bill Diggons "I demand the right to segment that price to the outcome, the value the buyer gets. Even though the variable cost of the motor is identical, I want to be able to sell it at an economy price in a benign environment and at a premium price in an extreme environment because I put billions of dollars into creating this thing." - Bill Diggons   People / Resources Mentioned: Tom Nagle: Author of "Strategy and Tactics of Pricing" - pricing authority who transformed Bill's approach in oil and gas. Schlumberger: Oil company where Bill worked in marketing. Halliburton: Oil company in Bill's background. QSales: Where Bill was practice leader for 20 years. A.T. Kearney, McKinsey, Deloitte: Consulting firms mentioned in the RFP rejection story where Bill's price was "too low".

    Most business owners hit a ceiling not because they lack hustle but because their systems leak money. They underprice, overpay, and unknowingly trap themselves in the “hourly labor” mindset that kills profitability. Have you ever felt like your team works hard, but your margins never seem to improve? Do you wonder why, after another big month of sales, there's still not enough left over for growth—or you?  In this episode, host Mike Abramowitz sits down with James Kwon, serial entrepreneur, early employee at CVS.com, and founder of Figmints Digital Creative Marketing. After selling one of his companies for nearly nine figures, James could have coasted. Instead, he built a revolutionary model called SLICES—a simple, scalable way to transform your compensation structure into a proper pay-for-performance system. Whether you lead a trades business, a digital agency, or a growing team, James breaks down the math, the mindset, and the mechanics of paying your people like owners. Timestamps: [00:00] The Problem with Hourly Pay [03:50] Why “SLICES” Was Born [06:40] Pricing for Pay-for-Performance [09:20] The $10K Job Breakdown [14:00] Paying Contractors vs. Salaried Teams [21:45] Overcoming Team Resistance [26:30] Real Results from the Field [39:00] From Chaos to Clarity in Commercial Cleaning [44:30] Rethinking Ownership: ESOPs and the Future of SLICES [52:40] Building Brand Leverage through Figmints  Key Quotes: “You should treat every employee like a salesperson.” “Your slices already exist—you're just not tracking them.” “Profit isn't what's left over; it's a pre-decided slice of the pie.” “A players light up when they see opportunity. C players panic.” “Slices make utilization visible. There's nowhere to hide.” “The goal isn't to be rich—it's to build royalty.” “Loving people is the ultimate game in business.”    Key Takeaways: Define Every Slice: Categorize every dollar earned—marketing, labor, operations, profit—and track against those ratios. Pay for Output, Not Time: Transition compensation to performance-based models that reward production, not presence. Reconcile Quarterly: Measure slices earned versus salary paid; adjust based on utilization and profitability. Build a Culture of Ownership: Teach your team how their work connects to the bottom line. Transparency breeds accountability.  Mentioned Links: Figmints Digital Creative Marketing: https://www.figmints.com SLICES Resources for Better Than Rich Listeners: https://www.figmints.com/betterthanrich The Better Than Rich Show YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thebetterthanrich

    November Vancouver Real Estate Update - Pricing Falling, Budget Fallout, Land Claim Shock

    Vancouver home prices just dropped for the seventh straight month,  and the November stats paint a clear picture: momentum is fading, listings remain high, and the winter slowdown is now colliding with a wave of economic and policy turbulence. In this week's episode, we break down everything from the federal budget fallout to land title uncertainty in B.C., and what all of it means for prices heading into 2026.Let's start with Ottawa. The latest federal budget was pitched as a housing plan, but for many Canadians dreaming of ownership, it landed more like a broken promise. Funding for the Build Canada Homes program was cut nearly in half, the MURB tax incentive was quietly shelved, and the much-hyped “development charge relief” was watered down. Instead, the lion's share of new spending targets rentals and supportive housing — not ownership. Worse, the government has committed to running the largest deficit in Canadian history over the next five years. With Ottawa already paying $55 billion annually just in interest, that figure could easily double if rates stay higher for longer. For context, in the 1990s, when interest payments hit 33% of total revenue, the government faced a full-blown fiscal crisis. Today we're at 10%, but trending up — and if that number hits 20% or more, markets, rating agencies, and mortgage rates will all start reacting. The key takeaway: Canada isn't in crisis yet, but it's walking a thinner line than most realize.Meanwhile, jobs data surprised to the upside, with 67,000 positions added in October — nearly all of them part-time. Private sector hiring picked up for the first time in months, but construction jobs fell again, particularly in B.C., where the slowdown in new builds is clearly visible. In Metro Vancouver, employment dipped 0.3%, and the unemployment rate edged up to 6.3%. Economists now expect the Bank of Canada to hold rates steady into the new year. It's a signal of cautious stability — the economy isn't collapsing, but it's far from thriving.And then there's the land claim shock. A recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling recognized Aboriginal title for the Cowichan Tribes over a section of southeast Richmond — an area including roughly 150 private parcels — and struck down parts of the law that made land titles “indefeasible.” The decision, now on appeal, effectively allows two forms of ownership to co-exist on the same land — something that no lender or insurer can practically underwrite. And finally, the November housing stats. Sales rose 21% month-over-month to 2,257 — the second-strongest month of 2025 — but still sit 14% below last year and 14.5% under the 10-year average. Inventory, at 15,797 active listings, is up 13% year-over-year and sits 36% above the decade norm. The sales-to-active ratio now rests at 14%. Detached homes sit at 11%, townhomes at 19%, and condos at 16%. The HPI benchmark price dropped again, down 0.8% month-over-month and 5.1% from the March peak to $1,132,500 — the lowest level since March 2023.By the end of this episode, you'll understand where prices are heading next, how the budget's deficit math could affect mortgage rates, and why land titles — not just listings — are suddenly the biggest wildcard in B.C. real estate.Foreclosures Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feD5v2ByQQc&t=5s   _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

If you care about healthspan, aesthetics, safety, and high performance, this episode is packed with “can't-Google-this” wisdom from the most recognized plastic surgeon on TV. What You'll Learn:•The double-edged sword of fame: why reality-TV notoriety is “hypnotic—and dangerous,” and how it changed Terry's practice overnight.•Behind The Swan & Botched: from a wild casting journey to the pitch that became Botched (and why “It's a scalpel, not a magic wand” still matters).•The hardest saves: a jaw-dropping case involving illegal facial injections and how Terry engineered a safe, creative fix.•Safety over trends: the real risk profile of BBLs (fat embolism), why Terry won't do them, and smart alternatives.•How to choose a great surgeon: the 3 non-negotiables—board certification (ABPS/ABFPS), hospital privileges, and credible word-of-mouth—plus why “before/afters” can mislead.•Pricing myths: why paying $40k–$80k+ for basic procedures (e.g., primary breast aug) doesn't guarantee better results.•Breast implants 101: capsular contracture reality, why some results feel “like coconuts,” and promising data on Motiva's lower hardness rates.•Celebrities & surgery: reputational risk calculus—and why Terry often says no.•Family patients & objectivity: when he'll operate (and when he won't).•AI in plastic surgery: why robot “hands” are still the bottleneck.•GLP-1s & longevity: Terry's board certification in Obesity Medicine, why micro-dosing GLP-1s may benefit metabolic health, and emerging indications.•Extreme Preparation: the mental reps that saved trauma patients—and how he studied his way to a 94th-percentile board score.•Housewives, fame traps, and kindness: cultural takes, life boundaries, and why kindness is a high-leverage success habit. Guest Bio — Dr. Terry DubrowDr. Terry Dubrow is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, star of the hit TV show Botched, and a nationally recognized expert in complex reconstruction and cosmetic surgery. He trained at UCLA and completed advanced academic work at Yale, where he honed a research mindset that led to dozens of publications early in his career.

A veteran ads/SEO partner (ex-HGTV/Discovery; managed ~$50k/day in Google Ads for a private client) audited ortho sites and found pretty but underperforming builds. Early tests drove measurable gains in qualified Google referrals; the two formalized a boutique service.Boutique by design: Targeting ~20–30 practices so one point of contact knows your brand, market dynamics, and projects end-to-end.Inside-out marketing: Don't pour money into ads until the phones, web forms, and team follow-up are dialed in. Track missed calls (goal: zero), record and review, and role-play quarterly.Feedback loop that works: Ads go live → the team tags outcomes (show/start/no-show) → campaigns are adjusted to favor demographics, keywords, and offers that convert in your market.Budget truth: Tiny spends create noise, not signal. Commit to a test period and a budget that can generate statistically useful data; adjust by market competition (it's a real auction).Brand over commodity: Build a site that sells your culture and trust, not “$500 off aligners.” If your web vibe doesn't match the in-office experience, trust evaporates.Pricing with confidence: If you deliver Four Seasons-level service, don't set Motel 6-level fees. You're not everyone's cup of tea—and that's healthy positioning.Language matters: For out-of-network calls, lead with help (“We can file Delta for you… let's get you scheduled…”) rather than a hard “We're out of network.”AI on the horizon: Jeremiah is building a practice “master prompt” to capture decisions, SOPs, and red-flag handoffs so teams ask the system before they page the doctor.Practical TakeawaysFix the fundamentals first: Fast phones, fast follow-up, and a brand-true website before buying more traffic.Measure what matters daily: Missed calls, call length outliers, and lead outcomes by source—then tune campaigns accordingly.Fund real tests: Set a market-appropriate budget and time horizon; dabbling hides the truth.Sell the who, not the what: Lead with trust, culture, and clarity; avoid commodity framing.Close the loop with training: Quarterly role-play on the hardest questions your team actually hears.MentionedGo Unicorn Strategy: https://gounicornstrategy.comAcquired podcast (Google series)Scheduling Institute (Jay Geier) — phone excellenceDan Kennedy — back-end sales before better adsCliftonStrengths “WOO” — why trying to win everyone over can hurt decisionsFour Seasons/Ritz-Carlton service standards as a pricing/positioning lensPast related episodes: Dr. Jamie Reynolds; Dr. Ben Fishbein.Subscribe to The Burleson Box wherever you listen. ***The Burleson Box is brought to you by OrthoFi:Grow More.

Masculine–feminine balance: Co-facilitation across genders can create more grounded and powerful retreat experiences.

Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews Etinosa Agbonlahor, CEO of Decision Alpha, about how behavioral economics can transform pricing strategies for small businesses. Etinosa explains how confident pricing decisions not only increase revenue but also strengthen customer retention and long-term growth. She shares insights into using psychology to frame prices effectively and highlights the importance of reviewing pricing regularly. The conversation also touches on overcoming the fear of raising prices and building confidence as a business owner. Etinosa's Behavioral Pricing Playbook explains how to create pricing that scales, sticks, and prevents revenue leaks. Around 80% of businesses undervalue their offerings—and it shows. Most pricing decisions are reactive, based on gut feelings, competitor comparisons, or fear of losing clients. Many business owners postpone pricing optimization until much later, missing out on the powerful compounding effect it could have early on. Studies reveal that improving pricing delivers 2–4 times greater revenue impact than focusing solely on customer acquisition. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Review Your Pricing Regularly – Treat pricing as a business feature, not a one-time task. Revisit it quarterly to ensure it reflects your current value and market position. Confidence is Key – Most pricing problems come from mindset, not the market. Believe in the value you provide before setting or adjusting prices. Use Psychology in Pricing – How you frame your prices matters as much as the numbers themselves. Smart positioning can make your offers more appealing. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Simplify the Customer's Choice – Structure pricing tiers so customers naturally choose your ideal package. Most buyers lean toward the middle option when presented clearly. Reduce the "Pain of Paying" – For low-cost products, consider annual payments over monthly ones to lessen customer resistance and reduce churn. Retain Before You Acquire – Focus on keeping existing customers happy and increasing their spending rather than constantly chasing new ones. One action small business owners can take: According to Etinosa Agbonlahor, one action small business owners can take is to review their pricing strategy regularly—analyzing whether it truly reflects the value they offer and aligns with customer perception. By treating pricing as an ongoing process rather than a one-time setup, business owners can boost profitability, strengthen confidence, and ensure sustainable growth.

Judging focuses on clear standards at high-variance stations like burpees and lunges, with one-to-one judging where needed.

    My guest today is Luca Ferrari. Luca is the co-founder and CEO of Bending Spoons, which he describes as 25 percent private equity and 75 percent technology company. Founded in 2013, Bending Spoons fully acquires and operates digital companies like Evernote, Meetup, Vimeo, and most recently AOL.  Our conversation explores the unique model behind Bending Spoons, and the culture required to scale it. Luca shares exactly how their acquisition playbook works – from identifying promising businesses to rebuilding every part of them across product, design, monetization, and marketing. We discuss their approach to financing long-term ownership through both debt and equity, Luca's obsession with finding and developing exceptional talent, and his decision to build the company in Europe.  I found Luca's description of himself as perennially unhappy to be the clearest window into how he builds. It's a mindset that fuels his pursuit of excellence and defines the culture at Bending Spoons. Please enjoy my conversation with Luca Ferrari.
