In this episode, John Pajak explains why showing your value stack beats giving a price breakdown, how to structure project estimates without losing control, and how to confidently say “The price is the price” without losing clients or your sanity.

Alphabet (GOOGL) has experienced a surge in its stock price after lagging through most of 2025. Wedbush's Scott Devitt adds that Alphabet's backdrop has improved "significantly" from a consumer sentiment and technological standpoint but won't be surprised to see a cooldown in price action. He talks about how the company has become "addicted to the drug of monetization," which can be used as a way to fuel future innovation and profits. Tom White offers a pair of example options trades for the Mag 7 giant.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

This episode is brought to you by Cured Nutrition, Strong Coffee Company and Timeline Nutrition.  In this powerful and timely episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase sits down with Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, Chairman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, to discuss a growing national movement around children's health, school nutrition, and public policy reform. Senator McMath dives deep into his groundbreaking Senate Bill 14 (Act 463)—a first-of-its-kind initiative to limit artificial dyes, additives, and sweeteners in school meals, introduce QR code ingredient transparency, and improve the overall nutritional standards in Louisiana schools. What began as a personal journey to restore his family's health evolved into a statewide wellness movement—and a national example of how policy can reshape public health from the ground up. Together, Chase and Patrick explore the intersection of wellness, politics, and personal responsibility, how chaos can lead to reform, and why the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement is transforming how we think about food and children's well-being. ----- In this episode we discuss... 02:00 – Meet Senator Patrick McMath 04:45 – From Infrastructure to Health Care Reform 08:40 – Louisiana's Health Crisis 11:15 – A Personal Wake-Up Call: His Wife's Health Journey 13:45 – The Book That Changed Everything: End of Cravings 17:20 – From Family Health to Public Policy 20:00 – Children, Schools, and the MAHA Movement 27:20 – The “Maha Moms” and Grassroots Advocacy 33:00 – What SB 14 Actually Does 37:00 – Learning from Other States & Building Momentum 41:00 – Forcing Big Food to the Table 46:00 – Transparency, QR Codes, and What's Next 50:00 – The Economics of Healthy Change 54:30 – Good Chaos: Disrupting for Progress 59:10 – Profits vs. Public Health 1:05:00 – The SNAP Program and Coca-Cola's Pushback 1:10:00 – Public Engagement & The Power of the People 1:13:00 – How Podcasts Drive Change 1:17:00 – Rapid Fire: Prevention, Education, and Chronic Disease 1:19:30 – His Decade Wish: Eradicating Cancer & Autism's Rise 1:21:00 – Politics Meets Wellness 1:24:10 – Ever Forward ----- Episode resources: 20% off Flow and Serenity gummies with at https://www.CuredNutrition.com/everforward 15% off Coffee Booster with code CHASE at https://www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com  FREE 3-day sample of MitoPure gummies with Urolithin A at https://www.Timeline.com/everforwardsample  Watch and subscribe on YouTube Learn more at PatrickMcMath.com

Chris Orzechowski is one of the few freelance copywriters who managed to break free from the “busy but broke” trap.

We talk about systems, mindset, and the hard lessons it takes to go from writing words to running a business. But we also talk about what it means to stay a craftsman in a world obsessed with automation and shortcuts. This isn't a “rah-rah hustle” episode, it's an honest look at how to grow up as a copywriter, stay creative, and actually build a business worth living for.

Takeaways from our inaugural APAC Conference BofA Global Research hosted its inaugural APAC Conference earlier this month. Timing was opportune. The Chinese CSI 300 Equity Index has outperformed the S&P year-to-date, following years in which the opposite was true and that's helped to pique investor interest. Over 1,200 investors and 300 corporates attended. Winnie Wu joins us to discuss her takeaways from the conference and her views on markets. Winnie believes Chinese equities will remain relatively more attractive in the EM context given the lower valuation and better growth potential for China. She adds China and Korea in particular are very well positioned to leverage AI to help offset their demographic challenges and can potentially achieve higher than expected long-term GDP growth thanks to AI-driven efficiency.   You may also enjoy listening to the Merrill Perspectives podcast, featuring conversations on the big stories, news and trends affecting your everyday financial life.   "Bank of America" and “BofA Securities” are the marketing names for the global banking businesses and global markets businesses (which includes BofA Global Research) of Bank of America Corporation.

On June 17th, 2012, I woke up in a hospital bed after a life-threatening accident.I had been in a coma.And in that fog, one brutal truth hit me square in the chest:If your business relies too much on you…...you don't really have a business.You've just built yourself another job.That wake-up call forced me to rethink everything.Within 12 months, I sold my company in a seven-figure exit.But here's the thing: This isn't about me.In my latest podcast episode, I reveal 7 strategies from 7 different entrepreneurs I've worked with, each one turning 7-figure revenue into 7-figure profits.These aren't theories.These are real moves they made.Step-by-step.Replicable.And they work.If you're serious about building a business that grows without chaining you to it…… then you need to hear this.

What started with a $600 loan has grown into a family business with over 1,000 stores, 50,000 employees, and nearly $8 billion in revenue each year. But the real story is not just about profit, it is about purpose. David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High reveal how giving away half of their profits became a family legacy that now spans generations, with children and grandchildren carrying the vision forward. This is more than business success, it is about creating a family culture rooted in faith, generosity, and eternal impact, and you can begin writing your own family's legacy starting now.   Podcast Episode 1893: This 8 Billion Dollar a Year Christian Business Gives Half its Profits Away - Here's the Inside Story! | don't miss this!

Send us a textTired of adding hours and still feeling stuck? We dive straight into the moves that create freedom: pricing for profit, selling outcomes in the home, and using a simple, layered marketing mix that actually compounds results. Our guest, Ryan Lee—former landscape lighting owner turned coach—shares how a 10% price increase can double profit for many service businesses, why on-the-spot closes beat emailed quotes, and how to use personal branding to smooth out slow seasons.We get honest about the operator-to-owner shift and why so many founders accidentally buy themselves an 80-hour job. Ryan lays out a practical way to buy back your time: compress your workweek, force focus, and dedicate protected blocks to working on the business—hiring, training, pricing strategy, and sales scripts. We also unpack the power of niche: how specializing helps you stand out, charge premium prices, and deliver a white-glove experience that earns five-star reviews and referrals. When your core runs smoothly, you can bolt on high-ticket services the right way—serving the same customer with a dedicated team and tapping the goldmine in your existing client list.You'll leave with three levers to pull now: raise prices to fund growth, close in person while emotion is high, and prioritize high-quality leads over volume. Expect actionable ideas you can apply today—whether you run HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest, or lighting. Want more of Ryan's insights? Check out Lighting for Profits and connect with him online.

Welcome to a Special Documentary Episode of The Voice of Insurance podcast Produced in association with Stephens Rickard This is the fourth episode of its kind. The first saw a historic, chaotic, dramatic hard market renewal unfold, at the next stability and a return to orderliness was craved - and was granted. Last year animal spirits started to be talked of in hushed tones, but it was too early for anything like a full return. This year the reinsurance industry has its mojo well and truly back. Capital has been fully replenished. Profits are real and there is increasing confidence that they are to a large extent baked in for a time. Surprise multi-billion dollar loss events have been weathered and yet instead of apologising to our investors for poor results we are still set to report and project healthy profits and returns on capital. Profitable growth is still on the agenda The real questions this year are of a more philosophical nature: Can everyone grow profitably without changing the nature of the market? Is it better to buy or build? Should capital be returned or deployed in M&A? What's different now, and what's not? We came to Monaco knowing that reinsurers were likely to have to give a little to get a little, but the question was what and how much were they were prepared to trade in return for a little more of what they really wanted. So join me as I wander the streets, dodge the supercars, cross the squares and elbow my way through the crowded bars and lobbies to meet a representative cross-section of the reinsurance buying and selling public and find out what's happening in the State of (Re)insurance.

Most small business owners are running their business on gut instinct instead of using the best tool in their toolbelt - the Profit & Loss report. Your P&L isn't just a piece of paper; it's the roadmap to growing your sales and profits. It shows you where your money is really going, reveals trends that help you predict the future, and gives you the insight to make smarter decisions. Ignoring it is like trying to hammer a nail with a wrench or bake a cake without using the oven. You're making things harder than they need to be. Today, we'll break down why your P&L is the ultimate tool to grow your business and how to start using it today. -----------------------------   CONTACT ME:

In Episode 441 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, about the profound transformations underway in the global economy driven by America's transition away from being the world's primary insurance provider for international security to its most enterprising racketeer. In a recently published Foreign Affairs essay titled “The New Economic Geography: Who Profits in a Post-American World?” Adam compares America's role in the post-World War II era to that of an insurance provider, underwriting global security by protecting international shipping lanes, providing deep and liquid capital markets, and enforcing international laws and standards that have formed the bedrock of the last 80 years of economic growth and prosperity. Kofinas and Posen spend the first hour of this episode digging into Adam's insurance framework and why he believes the United States was the largest beneficiary of the system it created. They discuss some of the recent policy changes out of Washington and why they are transforming America's sphere of influence into something that looks more like a protection racket than a market for affordable insurance. Adam Posen draws implications for the continued role of US Treasuries as a global safe asset and whether a reduction of foreign capital flows into dollars will ultimately prove stimulative for the resurrection of industrial ecosystems that the administration has identified as vital to American national security and the long-term prosperity of the United States. The two also consider the degree to which the increased premiums that Washington is now charging its allies can be justified by rising risks in the international security environment and by the unpopularity among the MAGA base for foreign U.S. involvement. The second hour of their conversation turns to questions of execution—specifically, what is required for the successful implementation of a U.S. industrial policy. This includes a discussion about apprenticeships, skilled immigration, government-supported R&D, federal funding for university science and technology programs, and more integration and collaboration with allied economies. Posen and Kofinas also discuss why the use of tariffs, subsidies, and export controls—including the CHIPS and Science Act—implemented during both Joe Biden's and Donald Trump's administrations have underdelivered. They also examine why the current administration's trade policies have been oddly more accommodative toward China than toward America's closest allies and why this will ultimately prove to be a losing strategy in the long-term. Lastly, Demetri asks Adam for his view on what the recent battles between the Fed and the White House mean for the future of Fed independence and if Washington is laying the groundwork for a long-term rise in inflation expectations as it seeks to monetize its debt and deficits through an increasingly compliant and captured central bank.
