We are a couple of days removed from Sunday's College Football Playoff selection, but the drama continues to unfold. Notre Dame is at the center of the conversation as they continue to discuss being left out of the CFP. Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua was on the Dan Patrick show on Monday and said the ACC's handling of the Playoff situation has done "permanent damage to the relationship." Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss this shaky relationship between Notre Dame and the ACC. They also debate whether the time is coming for Notre Dame to separate itself from the ACC and make a new scheduling deal with either the Big Ten or the SEC. Plus, they chat about the rule that will go into effect next season which gives Notre Dame an automatic CFP berth if they are ranked in the Top 12. Could that rule could potentially be voided? Then, the guys look to the coaching carousel, which has drastically slowed down. Penn State has finally named their new head coach. Matt Campbell, Iowa State's head coach for the last decade, will now lead the Nittany Lions. Andy, Ross and Godfrey discuss this hire, why they like it, and what Campbell needs to do to succeed in Happy Valley. Later, Ross discusses the groundbreaking news he broke while recording the pod. Utah has struck a private equity deal. The deal with Otro Capital could make over $500 million. Could this deal open the floodgates? The guys discuss this move and share their hesitations and expectations.

The legal industry is racing toward new business models, and Trisha Rich offers a grounded view of what that shift actually requires. As a partner at Holland & Knight and a professor at New York University School of Law, she works at the center of the conversations driving MSO growth, ABS experimentation, and rising interest from Private Equity. Firms want support, investors want a foothold, and everyone wants clarity on where the ethical lines sit. Trisha argues that the answers are far less mysterious than people think. Independence, fee structures, and client protection still define the boundaries, and decades of opinions already show how to navigate them. She also speaks to the momentum behind this moment. AI pressure, shifting talent expectations, and a clear push for stronger business models have created an environment where MSO and ABS structures feel less experimental and more inevitable. Her perspective invites firms to ask sharper questions: what kind of growth makes sense, which investments matter most, and how do you protect the heart of the profession while modernizing it? The conversation offers a clear read on a fast-evolving space and a thoughtful look at how regulation and innovation shape each other inside modern legal practice.

They start with an unexpected dive into competitive bird-watching apps, then break down recent software mergers like Superhuman + Grammarly + Coda and what they signal about scaling, cross-sell strategy, and private equity mechanics. CJ and Kyle explore why PE portfolios are becoming powerful distribution channels for AI solutions, how niche data “signals” are outpacing generic ones in sales, and share hedge-fund-style tactics for uncovering proprietary business information. The conversation rounds out with “business blunders” — from Y-axis chart crimes to clickbait headlines — and a lively discussion on Spotify's pricing power and how companies should (and absolutely should not) communicate price increases.—SPONSORS:Pulley is the cap table management platform built for CFOs and finance leaders who need reliable, audit-ready data and intuitive workflows, without the hidden fees or unreliable support.

In this episode of Founder Talk, Alex Iannessa, founder of EnRoads Paving, shares the real story behind going from zero to eight figures in under four years. Alex breaks down how he took a side-door industry path, from laborer, to sales, to founder, and how he used relationships, reputation, and relentless consistency to build a national parking lot management company during a time when most businesses were slowing down.We get into the sacrifices no one sees:The 12-hour days.Moving back in with his parents.Losing relationships.Starting with nothing but a laptop, a cell phone, and blind trust from family investors.Alex also dives into the skilled trades crisis and why society pushed kids into college debt, how that narrative is breaking down, and why the next generation is rediscovering the opportunity and wealth inside blue-collar America. He explains how EnRoads found its competitive edge by bridging the gap between the boardroom and the jobsite, and why trust, humility, and showing up authentically beat any sales tactic.We talk through everything founders never say out loud, from outgrowing your personal life, to the hard choices that come with growth, to why the construction and education systems are fundamentally broken and ripe for innovation.You'll learn: ✅ How Alex grew EnRoads to eight figures in less than four years ✅ Why relationships, reputation, and character are true competitive advantages ✅ The sacrifices founders make (and what Alex would do differently) ✅ Why the skilled trades are booming again and why the narrative is shifting ✅ How AI will reshape construction and where the real opportunities are ✅ Why young founders should focus on resilience, not perfectionIf you've been searching “how to scale a business fast,” “what it really takes to build an eight-figure company,” or “is the skilled trades comeback real?” — this episode gives you the unfiltered truth.Connect with Alex Iannessa:Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexanderdiannessa/Guest Website: https://enroadspaving.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

Inside Wirtschaft - Der Podcast mit Manuel Koch | Börse und Wirtschaft im Blick
Kommt eine Übernahmewelle in der deutschen Softwarebranche auf uns zu? Zehntausende Unternehmen könnten betroffen sein. Wir schauen über die Hintergründe. „Zum einen verändern technologische Megatrends wie Cloud, Künstliche Intelligenz und Automatisierung die Geschäftsmodelle grundlegend. Zum anderen kommt ein Generationswechsel hinzu. Viele Gründer sind heute zwischen 55 und 70 Jahre alt und suchen eine Nachfolgelösung. In dieser Situation treten Finanzinvestoren auf den Plan und sehen Chancen für Übernahmen. Allein in Deutschland gibt es rund 10.000 relevante Softwarehersteller. Das Marktvolumen von IT-Dienstleistungen und Software wird 2025 auf über 100 Milliarden Euro geschätzt. Familieninterne Übergaben funktionieren oft nicht, weil die nächste Generation andere Pläne verfolgt oder die technischen Anforderungen zu hoch sind. In solchen Fällen greifen Private-Equity-Investoren ein, die sowohl Kapital als auch Know-how mitbringen. Viele Firmen müssen hohe Summen in KI, Cloud-Technologien und Datenmanagement investieren. Investoren bringen nicht nur Geld, sondern auch strategisches Wissen, internationale Netzwerke und die Fähigkeit, Unternehmen über Zukäufe zu vergrößern. So entstehen sogenannte Buy-and-Build-Strategien, bei denen mehrere kleinere Anbieter unter einem Dach gebündelt werden", so Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch. Alle Details im Video von der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://inside-wirtschaft.de
