Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. Elvis actually made it down to the exhibition halls this year — and hyperDENT from FOLLOW-ME! Technology was everywhere. Booth after booth, people were talking milling strategies, templates, and workflows. It felt like a full-on CAM takeover. Their Milling Roadmap scavenger hunt had attendees bouncing between Axsys, Imagine, D.O.F., and Roland collecting stamps like responsible adults… Responsible adults chasing a bright orange folding electric hyperDENT scooter. That's what we love about the FOLLOW-ME! team — world-class CAM engineers talking microns and validation protocols one minute, then ripping around Lab Day the next. Serious about precision. Not too serious about themselves. Big shoutout for bringing the brains — and the electric horsepower. Come see and talk to Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows in 2026* Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week we finally get Jay Collins to stop dodging Elvis long enough to sit down and share one of the wildest journeys in dental lab history. From a family split between union steamfitters and dental technicians in Philadelphia to surviving “The Great Brotherly Lab War,” Jay's story is packed with grit, loyalty, and a whole lot of Irish Catholic chaos. What started with an uncle drafted into dental technology during Vietnam eventually turned into a multi-generation lab legacy—and Jay swearing he'd never get into teeth… only to build a powerhouse anyway. After the 2008 crash wiped out his construction business, Jay bet everything on selling outsourced restorations door-to-door, sleeping in his car, showering at the gym, and cold-calling hundreds of offices a week. What followed was the development of his unapologetically bold, psychologically savvy sales approach—what he calls being “aggressively calm.” From pushing doctors to “no,” to matching their energy toe-to-toe, to walking into offices as “the lab” and walking out with cases in hand, Jay breaks down the mindset shift most lab owners desperately need: sales isn't optional, and it definitely isn't accidental. Now leading multiple lab locations under the brilliantly simple name thedentallab.net, Jay shares hard truths about growth, mergers, firing abusive clients, and why cutting your sales department in tough times is the worst move you can make. If you've ever struggled with prospecting, scaling, or standing your ground with doctors, this episode is packed with practical strategies, hilarious role-playing, and a reminder that confidence—backed by accountability—wins every time. At Canadian Dental Labs, Icortica has become a cornerstone of how we operate—giving us at-a-glance visibility into performance, helping us focus our efforts, spot opportunities early, and solve problems before they grow.

This is one of the most common questions health coaches ask, and the truth is, there's no universal right answer.    Showing prices or keeping them off your site can both work, or quietly hurt your practice, depending on your business model. In this episode, I break down when listing prices builds trust and efficiency, and when it actually commoditizes your work and lowers conversions.   We also cover when a conversation-first model makes more sense, especially for personalized, lab-based, or long-term programs. The real question isn't "Should I show my prices?" it's "How busy and I right now, and what decision do I want my website to make before I speak with a potential client?"   This episode will help you choose the right strategy for your stage, not someone else's.

Is China really "dumping" U.S. Treasury bonds—or is that headline missing key context? Lance Roberts examines what Treasury International Capital (TIC) data does (and doesn't) show, why China's reported holdings can shift for reasons that have nothing to do with panic selling, and how custody chains and financial centers can complicate the narrative.

The Science Behind the New Wegovy Pill (with Novo Nordisk's Dr. Jason Brett)What actually makes a GLP-1 pill work in the real world—and why does taking it come with such specific rules? And if these meds improve health beyond weight, why does the conversation still get stuck on the scale?This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor are joined by Dr. Jason Brett of Novo Nordisk to break down the science behind the newly approved Wegovy pill. They talk about what it takes to deliver a peptide medication orally, what the dosing and day-to-day routine really look like, and why access and pricing remain such a big part of the story. The conversation also zooms out to the bigger point: treating obesity is about improving health outcomes—like liver and cardiovascular risk—not just weight.Key TakeawaysOral semaglutide requires specific formulation technology to survive the stomach and be absorbed at a meaningful level.The “30-minute rule” isn't random—it's part of how the pill has a chance to work as intended.Treating obesity is about improving health outcomes (like liver and heart risk), not just “moving a number on a scale.”Pricing and access shape who can actually benefit, even when the science is strong.Calorie-restriction messaging can backfire for people already dealing with metabolic adaptation and under-nutrition.Notable Quote"Fat Science has no financial relationship with Novo Nordisk.

What would you do if your TPT store vanished overnight? We walk through a clear, practical rebuild plan that trades guesswork for data and momentum. Starting with a fresh brand and a simple email funnel, we show how to plant the seeds for reliable traffic and repeat buyers by placing an opt-in inside every paid product and sending value-packed messages that earn trust.From there, we map out the Create Three strategy: choose a niche you know cold, research rankable keywords on TPT, and build three distinct product templates. Launch two to three tightly focused resources from each template, then let the market speak. Early signals like views, favorites, and first purchases will identify your winner long before everything sells out. Once a line proves itself, double down fast, expand across adjacent standards, and bundle to raise average order value without adding friction.Pricing and timing become your advantage. Pair one premium line in the $8–$10 range with faster-to-build $1–$2 and $3–$4 items that spark impulse buys and reviews for a new brand. Layer in seasonal versions from your existing templates to capture lower-competition searches around holidays, testing windows, and back-to-school. The combination builds surface area in search, speeds discovery, and creates natural upgrade paths for buyers who want more.We also get real about mindset and visibility. Consistency beats bursts of inspiration, and most creators aren't invited to the table—they pull up a chair. Reach out to hosts of summits, hashtag sales, and collabs with clear asks and follow-up timelines. Keep your titles precise, previews honest, and descriptions aligned with the exact phrases teachers use. Want more screen-share walkthroughs and step-by-step demos?

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your real estate goals… is you? In this episode, we dive into the mindset mistakes, bad assumptions, and “popular thinking” that quietly sabotage buyers and sellers every day. We're not talking about interest rates. We're not talking about bad weather. We're talking about the dangerous thinking that costs people thousands or keeps them from moving at all. We're talking: • “I want top dollar when I sell… and a deal when I buy.” • Pricing high to “leave room to negotiate” (why that backfires) • Fear → procrastination → regret • Waiting for the “perfect time” that never comes • Hiring the cheapest agent (or one who just says yes to everything) • Trying to DIY a six-figure transaction • Believing real estate works like HGTV • Treating a $700,000 decision like it's a casual text message The common thread? Mindset. Real estate is often the largest financial decision of your life. It deserves expert guidance and it requires engaged, focused decision-making from you. If you're buying, selling, downsizing, upgrading, investing, or even just thinking about it, this episode will help you approach it the right way. The bottom line mindset:

Most interior designers come into this career because they love design. They love creating beautiful spaces, developing a strong design vision, and dreaming up what's possible for a home. But what many designers don't realize—until they're already in it—is that great design alone is not enough to create successful residential projects or happy clients.I see this all the time with newer designers and even experienced creatives who feel overwhelmed, underpaid, or constantly putting out fires. They know how to design, but the execution feels stressful. Projects run long. Budgets get blurry. Contractors feel intimidated. Install days feel chaotic. And suddenly, the career you thought would feel creative and fulfilling starts to feel exhausting.In this episode, I'm breaking down the practical business and project skills interior designers must develop to execute with confidence residential design projects. These are the skills that separate hobbyists from professionals. When you strengthen these areas—project management, pricing strategy, contractor relationships, construction literacy, installation logistics, and leadership—you don't just survive projects. You lead them with clarity, confidence, and profitability.What You'll Learn in This Episode✔️ Why project management separates hobbyists from professionals✔️ How to build trust with contractors and trades✔️ Pricing strategies that protect profitability✔️ Construction literacy every residential designer needs✔️ How to run smooth, stress-free installationsRead the Blog >>> 6 Business & Project Skills Designers Need to ExecuteNEXT STEPS:

In this New Year episode of The Six Figure Author Experiment, Lisa Vino and Russell Nolte are joined by David Viergutz, founder of Scare Mail and CEO of Epistolary.com, to talk about a business metric Lisa now can't unsee: AOV (Average Order Value). What begins as a direct-sales strategy conversation quickly turns into a masterclass on premium experiences, fandom-building, and escaping the tired publishing “rat race.” David shares how he went from running ads in the 20 Books / SPS model to building a thriving story-letter empire, why epistolary fiction is story-first or die, and how authors can experiment with higher-priced offers without losing the magic. The through-line: in a world flooded with AI and noise, the advantage is human creativity, bold formats, and products that feel like experiences.Topics Covered:* What AOV (Average Order Value) is and why it matters for direct sales* Thinking like a business owner without losing your author soul* David's origin story: list-building, ads, and long-term strategy* Why niche audiences can still generate massive success* “Taylor Swift pricing” as a mindset shift for premium offers* Why experiences sell: readers remember how something made them feel* The birth of Scare Mail: the mailbox as a storytelling medium* Epistolary fiction basics: letters, artifacts, rabbit holes, and immersion* Why some stories should never be “novelized”* Building a blue ocean: creating a category people can't comparison-shop* Why the most online generation craves print and human touch* How fandom deepens through participation and interactivity* “Move closer to the customer” as a modern business principle* Building a cult-level fanbase one person at a time* The “thousand true fans” concept applied to premium fiction* Author archetypes and why “aquatic” creators win by reinventing formats* Premium experiences that scale like books: create once, sell forever* The customer journey is the same for gum, books, and Teslas (attention is the difference)* Why Amazon's rules aren't the only axis you can play on* Why KU is not the whole market (and why authors mistake it for the whole audience)* Pricing power: increasing prices without dips when the experience is unique* The economics problem: $20 customer acquisition vs. $3.99 products* Direct sales advantages: owning the customer relationship and reducing noise* Indie presses and “algorithm rain” strategies that don't actually market* The Fire & Ice offer: two versions, premium pricing, and upsells to raise AOV* Why customers should pay shipping (and why authors often sabotage margins)* Risk reversal: refunding + buying a competitor's book as a bold trust play* Testing product ideas cheaply: MOQ realities and starting with paper-based artifacts* Story-letter fundamentals: hook the story first, then explain the delivery* The epistolary rule: if you can't explain “why letters?” start over* Artifacts defined: what counts, what works, and what's lazy filler* Examples of artifacts: polaroids, recipes, journal entries, QR codes, audio links, word searches, ribbons, puzzles* Designing artifacts to enhance story, not add envelope weight* The “scavenger hunt” model: clues, interaction, and layered payoff* Creativity as competitive advantage in an AI-saturated world* “Get weird” as strategy: uniqueness creates true blue-ocean differentiation* Where to find David and how to pitch an epistolary project This is a public episode.

Most people think the restaurant industry starts in the kitchen. It doesn't. It starts with sourcing. With buying decisions. With what shows up at the back door. This week, Carl sits down with Tony Cuba, Buyer for Halpern's Steak and Seafood in Orlando, alongside Chef Cody Tiner, chef-owner of District South. Tony brings nearly 21 years of distribution experience to the table. From packing product on the warehouse floor to working in outside sales and eventually stepping into buying, he understands sourcing from both sides of the equation. Chef Cody Tiner brings 17 years of scratch-kitchen experience, classical training, Southern roots, and a deep commitment to community-driven hospitality. At District South, he leads a young team, breaks down whole fish and steaks in-house, and builds a neighborhood restaurant centered on quality without pretension. Together, this conversation explores: • How food actually moves from warehouse to dish • What buyers look for before product hits the floor • Why trust between distributor and chef is everything • How sourcing decisions shape menus more than people realize • What the next generation of chefs needs to understand about supply chain This is an inside look at the invisible system that supports every great plate. Because without distribution, there is no industry. And without trust, there is no distribution. Key Takeaways • Distribution is not transactional — it's relational • Great buyers understand kitchen pressure • Scratch kitchens depend heavily on sourcing consistency • Pricing, availability, and quality are constant tension points • Mentorship and next-gen leadership matter at every level of the industry • The supply chain shapes creativity more than most people realize Featured Guests Tony Cuba Buyer – Halpern's Steak and Seafood, Orlando Chef Cody Tiner Chef-Owner – District South Partner Mentions & Links RAK Porcelain USA – Professional tableware used in studio https://www.rakporcelain.com Metro Foodservice Solutions – Workflow and kitchen support partner https://www.metro.com Crab Island Seafood https://crabislandseafood.com Sustainable Supperclub https://sustainablesupper.org/ Operation BBQ Relief https://operationbbqrelief.org/ The Burnt Chef Project https://www.theburntchefproject.com/ Citrus America Citrus America: Perfect Juicers for Any Location Official Trade Show & Competition Partners

The era of women undercharging is over. And that includes outsourcing your pricing decisions.    If you've ever landed on a number and immediately texted a friend, asked your partner, polled your mastermind, or opened Chat to double-check, this episode is your wake-up call.   Pricing is not a consensus decision. It is one of the clearest ways you claim economic power and independence in your business. But the moment you hand your number to someone else for approval, you cap your authority and put a ceiling on your income.   In this episode, I break down exactly who not to outsource your pricing to, why it feels so tempting in the moment, and how this single habit keeps women earning below their capacity. And more importantly, you'll learn what to anchor into instead.   Because your pricing isn't something to vote on - it's something you stand behind.   In this episode, I talk about: Why outsourcing your pricing is one of the most common income leaks in women-owned businesses.   Who you should never hand your pricing authority to, even if they love you.   How family, peers, and AI can unintentionally cap your income ceiling.   What happens to self-trust when you keep double-checking your number.   The calibration questions that replace "Is this okay?" with strategic clarity.   ~~   For full show notes, transcript, and to check out The Pricing Room™, click here: www.themoneycoachschoolpodcast.com/126

Most musicians dream of stability. Johnny Thirkell built a 50-year career with David Bowie, Paul McCartney, George Michael, and The Who - starting from colliery bands and working men's clubs in the North East. This isn't about talent. It's about the business systems that keep session musicians working for decades while others struggle after a few years. Johnny shares the relationship-building frameworks that get you in the room with major artists, the professional standards that ensure callbacks, and the economic strategies that survive massive industry changes - from the 1970s studio system to today's remote recording reality. Whether you're building a session career or any sustainable music business, the principles are the same: systematic relationship management, clear professional standards, and strategic adaptation to industry shifts. Topics covered: How session musicians actually get hired by major artists The relationship maintenance framework that creates repeat clients over decades Pricing strategies for session work Professional studio standards that ensure callbacks Adapting to 50 years of technology and industry changes Why "Blown It!!" became a book instead of staying as stories Career longevity principles that transfer to independent artists Show Notes Support the Unstarving Musician The Unstarving Musician exists solely through the generosity of its listeners, readers, and viewers.

This Day in Legal History: Jacobson v. MassachusettsOn this day in legal history, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905), a case that defined the balance between individual liberty and public health. The dispute arose during a smallpox outbreak when Massachusetts authorized local governments to require vaccinations. Henning Jacobson refused the vaccine, arguing that the mandate violated his personal liberty under the Constitution. The case presented a fundamental question: how far can the state go in protecting the health of its citizens?In a 7–2 decision, the Court upheld the compulsory vaccination law. The justices reasoned that individual freedoms are not absolute. Writing for the majority, the Court explained that the Constitution permits reasonable regulations to protect public health and safety. This authority stems from the state's “police power,” a broad power to enact laws for the welfare of the community. The Court emphasized that liberty does not include the right to act in a way that harms others. During an epidemic, the government may impose measures necessary to prevent disease from spreading.The decision established an enduring precedent for public health regulation. It has been cited in later cases involving quarantine laws, vaccine mandates, and emergency health orders. More than a century later, Jacobson remains central to debates about the limits of government authority in times of crisis.A federal judge in California sharply reduced a jury pool in a class action securities trial against Elon Musk after many potential jurors said they could not be impartial. Out of 92 candidates, 38 were dismissed after admitting they could not fairly judge the case, prompting Musk's attorney to argue that strong personal hostility toward his client was affecting the process. The lawsuit, brought by former Twitter investors, alleges that Musk made misleading statements in 2022 to depress the company's stock price while negotiating its purchase. Musk denies the allegations.Judge Charles R. Breyer reminded jurors that their verdict must be based only on evidence presented at trial, not personal opinions about Musk. Several prospective jurors expressed strong views, both positive and negative, and some were removed for cause. One man who said he believed Musk should be in prison but could be fair in a civil case was not selected. Others who openly supported Musk or dismissed class actions as frivolous were also excluded. By the end of the day, a nine-member jury was seated.The case centers on claims that Musk's tweets about the deal being “on hold” and about the percentage of fake accounts misled investors. The judge previously ruled that investors plausibly alleged securities law violations and certified a class of affected shareholders. He also denied early summary judgment motions, allowing the case to proceed to trial. The upcoming trial will determine whether Musk's public statements violated federal securities laws during the 2022 acquisition process.‘Hate' For Musk Quickly Narrows Jury Pool In Twitter Deal Trial - Law360Jeffrey Epstein's estate has agreed to pay up to $35 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging that two of his longtime advisers helped facilitate his sex trafficking scheme. The proposed agreement was disclosed in a federal court filing in Manhattan and must still be approved by a judge. The lawsuit, filed in 2024, targeted Darren Indyke, Epstein's former personal lawyer, and Richard Kahn, his longtime accountant, who serve as co-executors of the estate.Attorneys for the victims claimed the two men assisted Epstein by managing a network of corporations and financial accounts that concealed his activities and enabled payments to victims and recruiters. As part of the settlement, neither Indyke nor Kahn admitted wrongdoing. Their attorney stated they were prepared to contest the claims at trial but chose to settle to bring closure and resolve remaining potential claims against the estate.The estate has already distributed substantial sums to victims. A compensation program previously paid out $121 million, and an additional $49 million has been resolved through other settlements. According to defense counsel, the new agreement will offer a confidential path to compensation for individuals who have not yet settled claims.Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019, and his death was ruled a suicide.Epstein estate agrees to $35 million settlement in victim class action | ReutersThe Trump administration announced plans to scale back federal limits on mercury and other hazardous air pollutants emitted by coal-fired power plants. Officials said easing these standards would help utilities manage costs and maintain reliable baseload electricity as power demand rises, particularly from artificial intelligence data centers. The move targets updates made during the Biden administration to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS), which built on regulations first adopted in 2012.The Biden-era revisions would have significantly reduced allowable mercury emissions and cut releases of toxic metals such as arsenic, nickel, and lead. Supporters of those rules argued they would generate hundreds of millions of dollars in public health savings by lowering exposure to harmful pollutants. The Supreme Court previously declined to pause the updated standards while legal challenges proceeded.Environmental and public health advocates warn that weakening the rule could increase health risks, especially for children and other vulnerable populations, since mercury exposure can impair neurological development. The EPA, however, stated that the original 2012 rule already provides sufficient public health protection and that the newer requirements impose costs exceeding their benefits.The rollback aligns with broader administration efforts to support coal power, including declaring an energy emergency, granting temporary exemptions to dozens of coal plants, and revisiting prior climate-related regulatory findings. Coal plants currently produce less than one-fifth of U.S. electricity but remain significant sources of hazardous air pollution.Trump EPA to weaken rule limiting harmful mercury, air toxics from coal plants | ReutersA federal judge in California ruled that PepsiCo and its Frito-Lay division can block a proposed class action brought by convenience store owners alleging unfair pricing practices. The stores claimed the company favored large national retailers by offering them better wholesale prices, in violation of the Robinson-Patman Act, which prohibits certain forms of price discrimination. The lawsuit sought to represent thousands of independently owned California stores that said they lost significant sales as a result of the alleged practices.U.S. District Judge Mónica Ramírez Almadani determined that the plaintiffs failed to show that all proposed class members suffered the same type of injury, a key requirement for class certification under federal law. She explained that price discrimination claims typically require detailed, transaction-specific evidence, making broad class treatment difficult. The court agreed with the defendants' argument that resolving the claims would require individualized inquiries into each store's circumstances.Although the judge rejected the class action request, she did not dismiss the underlying lawsuit. Instead, she allowed the plaintiffs to revise and refile their class allegations. Attorneys for the convenience stores said they plan to amend the complaint to provide additional detail about how Frito-Lay allegedly disadvantaged smaller retailers.PepsiCo, Frito-Lay win US court order barring class action in snack pricing lawsuit | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize President Donald Trump to impose broad tariffs under a declared national emergency. In a majority opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court emphasized that the Constitution assigns the power to levy taxes and duties exclusively to Congress, not the executive branch. The case arose after President Trump declared national emergencies related to drug trafficking and trade deficits and then imposed sweeping tariffs on imports from numerous countries, including Canada, Mexico, and China.Small businesses and several states challenged the tariffs, arguing that IEEPA permits the president to “regulate” importation but does not explicitly authorize the imposition of duties. Lower courts agreed, and the Federal Circuit largely affirmed those rulings before the cases reached the Supreme Court. The majority concluded that the statutory term “regulate . . . importation” cannot be read to include the power to impose taxes, especially given Congress's consistent practice of clearly and specifically granting tariff authority in other statutes. The Court also relied on the “major questions” doctrine, reasoning that such sweeping economic authority requires clear congressional authorization, which IEEPA does not provide.The justices rejected arguments that emergency powers or foreign affairs concerns justified a broader interpretation. They noted that no prior president had used IEEPA to impose tariffs in its nearly 50-year history. As a result, the Court affirmed the Federal Circuit's decision invalidating the tariffs and directed dismissal of a related case for lack of jurisdiction.Justices Strike Down Trump's Emergency TariffsThis week's closing theme is by Louis Spohr.This week's closing theme features music by Spohr, a composer who stood at the crossroads between the Classical and early Romantic eras. Born in 1784, Spohr was a celebrated violinist, conductor, and teacher whose reputation in his lifetime rivaled many of his contemporaries. Though his name is less familiar today, he played an important role in shaping early nineteenth-century orchestral and chamber music. His style combines Classical clarity with the expressive warmth that would define the Romantic movement.Spohr wrote four clarinet concertos, each showcasing the instrument's growing technical and expressive range. The Clarinet Concerto in F minor reflects both virtuosity and lyricism, qualities that made the clarinet increasingly popular in concert halls of the time. The first movement, Allegro assai, opens with dramatic orchestral energy before introducing the soloist in sweeping, agile lines. The music balances precision with expressive phrasing, demanding both technical control and emotional depth from the performer.Throughout the movement, Spohr allows the clarinet to sing as much as it dazzles. Rapid passages are paired with moments of lyrical calm, highlighting the instrument's wide tonal palette. The dialogue between soloist and orchestra feels conversational rather than combative, giving the concerto an elegant cohesion. As our closing theme, this Allegro assai offers drive, color, and a glimpse into a composer once central to Europe's musical life.Without further ado, Louis Spohr's Clarinet Concerto in F minor, the first movement, the Allegro assai – enjoy!

If you've ever posted in a Facebook group asking what other stagers are charging, first of all — no shame. We've all done it. But you probably walked away more confused than when you started, because pricing a vacant staging business is genuinely complicated and a comment section just can't hold that conversation. This is an expensive business model to run, and if the pricing isn't right, it can really hurt you. It does not matter whether you're brand new or you've been in business for years. In this episode, I'm kicking off a three-part series on pricing your vacant staging service, and I'm starting with the pillar that I know trips most of us up: overhead allocation per project. It's the piece of the pricing puzzle that took me the longest to understand, and once I did, everything started to make a lot more sense. I'll walk you through what it is, how to calculate it, and what the real numbers look like for a staging business that is built to last. Listen in! My goal is that you walk away with clarity on at least this one piece of your pricing.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why pricing for vacant staging is genuinely complex  and why that's not a reflection of your skill. What the three pillars of pricing are and their importance. Why you should be pricing for the business you want and not the one you have right now. How your contract term length (30, 60, or 90 days) directly impacts how much overhead each project must carry.   RESOURCES: Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome If you want to learn how to market and grow your staging business, enrollment is open for Rethink You Accelerate.

This is my second conversation with Josh Kushner, founder and managing partner of Thrive Capital. I recorded this conversation in October after publishing the Colossus cover story about him and Thrive. Given the overwhelming response, we created some breathing room before releasing it. Josh started Thrive in 2011. The firm now manages approximately $50 billion with a very small investment team. What makes Thrive different is how concentrated they are and how involved they get with their portfolio companies. We cover the iconic investments that defined Thrive: Instagram, Stripe, GitHub, and spend a lot of time on OpenAI. Josh explains how Thrive thinks about investing today and the three categories they're currently focused on. Josh also talks about building the firm, why they keep the team small, and what he's learned from A24 about enabling artists to do their best work. He shares personal stories that shaped him, including his grandmother's experience surviving the Holocaust, and lessons from Stan Druckenmiller, Jon Winkelried, and others at formative moments in Thrive's history.

If you're stuck around £100–£2k a month on Etsy and your current plan is“maybe I just need more products”…we need to talk.In this episode, I'm breaking down my 2026 Etsy profit playbook and how six-figure Etsy shops are actually built - quietly, calmly, and without burning yourself into the ground.This isn't hustle advice.It's structure, clarity, and knowing what actually moves the needle.We'll cover:

In this open discussion episode, the Monday Meeting team discuss pricing negotiations, client communication, testimonials, and building a focused freelance business.This episode covers:Pricing confidence and boundaries: Never undercut yourself—costs you money to take less money, with emphasis on qualifying leads upfront and establishing clear rate anchors that filter inappropriate clientsDiscovery call essentials: Always discuss budget during the first call to avoid sticker shock, using casual approaches like "let's talk about the budget” while building relationship rapportContract protection strategies: Beyond legal documents, relationships matter most—implement 50-25-25 payment structures, rush fees, scope change fees, and revision limits to protect your businessTestimonial best practices: Write testimonials for clients first to activate reciprocity bias, request specific feedback areas (technical skills, communication, project management) rather than generic praise, and follow up within days of project completionFocus over breadth: Select maximum three specialized pillars (like character design, 2D animation, game development) rather than marketing yourself as a generalist—word of mouth within focused sectors compounds fasterPortfolio clarity: Avoid creative industry jargon like "keyframe ninja" or "rockstar"—clients need concrete understanding of what you deliver and how it solves their business problemsUpcoming Events:Game Night scheduled for March 4th at 6PM PacificNext week's episode will feature a themed discussion (theme TBD)Visit MondayMeeting.org for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!SHOW NOTES:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Newsletter⁠Open Pixel Studios Price CalculatorGet Wright On It Price GuideTiny TestimonialsJen's Testimonial PageAlignable

In this episode, host Travis Chappell sits down with Seth Silvers, founder and CEO of Story On, one of the premier podcast production agencies helping businesses build authority through storytelling. Seth and his team work with top-tier creators and brands—including Alex Hormozi, Leila Hormozi, and Patrick Lencioni—and support numerous Top 100 business podcasts. Seth shares his journey from taking on almost any marketing work he could find to building a premium podcast agency, along with hard-earned lessons on pricing, positioning, and why podcasting is one of the most powerful long-term branding tools available today. On this episode we talk about: How Seth accidentally turned podcasting into a full-time business Using podcasts to build trust and credibility (even without massive downloads) Why most podcasters struggle to monetize—and a better path forward Structuring service offers and pricing without racing to the bottom The future of podcasting: video, branding, and podcasts as a business asset Top 3 Takeaways: Podcasting creates a “transfer of trust.” When people see you show up with quality, they assume you bring that same standard to everything you do. Pricing clarity changes everything. Seth credits implementing ideas from Profit First as a major turning point in getting out of debt and building a sustainable business. Premium clients care more about results than price. Solving higher-level problems for established businesses beats competing on cost every time. Notable Quotes “People see you show up in a quality way, and they transfer that trust to everything else you do.” “If you want us to actually do it for you, it's going to be a premium—but we also have resources for every level.” “Podcasting isn't a quick customer-acquisition tool. It's a multi-channel brand that builds trust over years.” Connect with Seth Silvers: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethsilvers/ Website: storyon.co Blog: https://storyon.co/blog Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Can your business make a million in one year?Most people will say no. Not because it's impossible, but because they're thinking about it the wrong way. Making your first $1 Million is not about hustle. It's not about stacking side projects. It's not about 14 income streams and burnout disguised as ambition.It's about leverage.Leverage over effort.Outcomes over deliverables.Focus over distraction.If your income is tied directly to your time, you're capped. If you're solving small problems, you're paid small money. If you're scattered across too many offers, too many audiences, too many channels, you're diluted.The path to $1 Million requires three uncomfortable shifts:Obsess over leverage, not effort.Solve a $10 Million problem to earn $1 Million.Go narrower to go bigger with one flagship offer, one defined buyer, and one primary distribution engine.This episode also confronts the uncomfortable truth about wealth: if it costs you your family, your health, or your identity, that's not success. That's ego dressed up as ambition. The real question becomes this: " If you had to build a $1 Million business with only one offer, one audience, and one channel… what would you choose?"Your answer will reveal everything...What You'll Learn:Why leverage beats effort if you want real scaleHow to reverse-engineer $1 Million without the hustle trapThe “solve a $10 Million problem” mindset shiftWhy outcomes sell and deliverables get negotiated downHow focus becomes your unfair advantage when discomfort hitsThe one-offer, one-audience, one-channel test that clarifies everythingHow to build recurring revenue while protecting your energyBeyond The Episode Gems:Buy My Book, Strategize Up: The Blueprint To Scale Your Business: StrategizeUpBook.comDiscover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast NetworkGet Free HubSpot Marketing Tools To Help You Grow Your BusinessGrow Your Business Faster Using HubSpot's CRM PlatformListen to My First Million on the HubSpot Podcast NetworkSupport The Podcast & Connect With Troy: Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/ReviewsFollow Troy's Socials @FindTroy: LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTokSubscribe to Troy's YouTube Channel For Strategy Videos & See Masterclass EpisodesNeed Growth Strategy, A Keynote Speaker, Or Want To Sponsor The Podcast?
