According to research by Stanford Professor Bob Sutton, innovative businesses need to generate about 4,000 ideas to come up with two or three really good ones.  Think about that. 4,000 ideas. What does that mean for our students? In their busy whirlwind days, they're likely to opt for their first or second idea on any given assignment. A thesis pops into their head? They'll probably hit the ground running with it so they can get their paper done. They think of a project concept for genius hour? Boom. They jump on board. In an era of busy busy and test prep, brainstorming often gets shortchanged. But what if that means students are spending hours, days, even weeks on ideas that don't deserve their time? Ideas they would have quickly surpassed with a few more minutes of thinking, and a quick feedback session with a partner? Today on the pod, let's talk about how can we build a better brainstorming engine into our projects, paper processes, and units. We're going to take a peek at two quick case studies today - one in a classroom full of students just getting started on a podcast project, and another from my experience working on a concept for PD.

This episode starts with a familiar scene. A role opens, the applications pour in, and suddenly you're staring at a mountain of resumes that deserve real attention but arrive faster than anyone can process. The mix had everything… experienced candidates, newcomers trying to break in, and a growing stack of AI-generated submissions that looked sharp until you asked a second question. That's where Haystack came in. Instead of using AI as a blunt filter, Rob and the team treated it like a collaborator. Teach it what matters. Teach it what P3 looks for in a teammate. Teach it how to separate real signal from polished noise. What came back wasn't a robot recruiter. It was clarity. And Haystack is only half the story. As the conversation unfolds, Rob and Justin zoom out into the broader pattern they're seeing across all the small, useful agents taking shape inside P3. The stuff that isn't blind hype. The stuff that quietly fixes overloaded parts of the business and makes the human decisions easier to get right. Because that's the through-line here. When AI handles the overflow, people get to spend their time on the work that actually requires judgment. Queue it up and hear what happens when AI stops pretending to be magic and starts doing real work. And if you've got a corner of the business that's begging for that kind of clarity, we can help you find the tiny build that changes everything.

Okay friends, buckle up, because today's episode is one of those “wait… why has no one explained success like THIS before?” moments. We're talking with Kyle Austin Young who breaks down success not as a magical personality trait, but as something you can literally math your way into.Kyle takes us into the world of probability hacking, a shockingly simple way to figure out your real chances of success in anything (launching a business, writing a book, running a marathon) and then shows you how to change those odds in your favor.If you've ever wondered why some goals finally click, and others fall apart even when you want them just as much…this conversation is going to change how you think forever.FAQs from the EpisodeWhat exactly is probability hacking, and do I need to be good at math to use it?Nope! Probability hacking is simply listing out everything that has to go right for your goal to succeed…then calculating your actual chances instead of relying on vibes and wishful thinking. Kyle walks through it using basic numbers you can do on your phone, no spreadsheets, and no formulas that look like they escaped from NASA.How does this help me as a solopreneur?Because solopreneurs love goals…but often underestimate how many things have to align to actually hit them. Kyle's framework helps you see where your plan is fragile, what's likely to derail it, and, most importantly, how to systematically remove risk so your odds of success jump dramatically. How do I know whether to keep pushing or quit a goal?Kyle doesn't believe in quitting, he believes in pausing strategically. If your odds still look terrible even after removing risk, he suggests exploring alternate paths that may get you to your real underlying goal more efficiently. It's not giving up; it's probability-based pivoting.

With the holidays coming up, now is the perfect time to think of the genealogy projects you want to complete in December. With so much going on this month, such as parties, family get-togethers, holiday celebrations, religious celebrations, and more, it may seem like there isn't much room for genealogy work in the middle of all of that busyness. Yet, December is, surprisingly, the ideal time to tackle some essential genealogy projects, and you can work them into your otherwise busy end-of-the-year schedule. You'll be glad you did. Here are ten "must-do" genealogy projects for December.

There are three levels of leadership through the lens of your projects. Every leader has projects, but not all projects create transformation. Some are driven by fear and urgency, others by comfort and control. Real growth begins when you choose projects that demand transformation, not just effort. 

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit! Happy Thanksgiving weekend, everyone! We are here to help you tackle your home improvement challenges – from safety tips to planning projects to finding the best deals this busy holiday season. Check out these hot topics, plus listeners' calls and solutions: - Safe and Stress-Free Babyproofing: We offer smart, stress-free tips to quickly baby-proof your space before hosting family and friends with little ones this holiday season. - Smart Shopping Secrets: We share secrets for smart holiday shopping, noting that the best deals for tools and DIY gear appear around Black Friday and into early December, while appliances see deep discounts in November and January before new models arrive. - Planning Ahead for Home Projects: Learn why winter is actually the best time to plan your spring home improvements, as starting early helps secure quality contractors who get booked months in advance. - Cleaning Range Hood Filters: We discuss a simple 10-minute maintenance job: cleaning your kitchen range hood filter by soaking a metal filter in hot soapy water mixed with baking soda.   Q & A: - Lynn in New Hampshire needed advice on protecting her old cedar siding. Since natural cedar is resistant to insects but not UV light, we proposed two options: applying boiled linseed oil for natural protection without changing the color or applying a solid color stain over an oil-based primer for maximum longevity. - Carol in Maine was replacing older outlets and was unsure how to connect them to the new receptacle. Due to the serious risks involved with electrical work, we strongly advised her to hire a professional electrician. - Bill in Michigan has an unlevel floor in his attached garage, causing water from his car to pool in low spots and run toward the house wall. The recommended solution was to apply a self-leveling compound just over the areas of unevenness to correct the runoff. - Doug in Rhode Island was installing frost-free hose bibs and wanted our opinion on using SharkBite push-to-connect fasteners. We affirmed that SharkBite connectors are the perfect product for this application, as they create a permanent, watertight, solder-free connection, which is ideal for tight spots. - Heather in Tennessee had a 6x8-inch area of hardwood floor that buckled after a water filter leaked, and she sought a repair method that avoided the hassle of sanding and refinishing the entire floor. The solution was to hire a professional carpenter to discreetly cut out matching floor boards from a less visible area, such as a closet or pantry, and use them to replace the damaged section.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Taking The Strain - How To Be a Safe Pair of Hands. The only things in life more stressful than building or renovating a home are bereavement, divorce, and redundancy. And yet the finished result should be life-changing for the client and worth all the pain of the experience. To assist their clients, interiors designers must act as a safe pair of hands, ready to support and guide through the ups and downs of the design and project process, skilfully managing any unforeseen dramas, problems, or delays enroute. So, how can we best prepare and manage our clients to minimise the stress for them – and for ourselves, and emerge successful and feted at the finish line? Jeff and Susie are joined by two acclaimed interior designers Helen Bygraves, Co-Founder of Hill House Interiors and Christian Bense, Founder of Christian Bense to find out the best strategies behind achieving a stress-free project.  This episode was a recorded in front of a live audience of designers at Decorex 2025.

As a college student and weaver, Amy Oxford fell in love with the punch-needle method of rug hooking almost by accident, a surprising benefit from a babysitting gig. She followed her interest from doing piece work on existing designs to creating large commissioned rugs in her own business. In 1995, she started the Oxford Company to sell supplies and education for punch needle crafters worldwide. The basic techniques of punch needle are straightforward enough to teach in a few minutes, but the opportunities for creativity in line, texture, and color have kept Amy enthralled for 40 years. After completing several large commissioned works, she found herself with repetitive strain injuries in her hand and arm, and she began dreaming of a tool that would let her work pain-free. Partnering with a woodworker and inventor, she developed the Oxford Punch Needle, a groundbreaking wooden-handled tool with a curved grip that's comfortable to push and pull through fabric. Along with manufacturing her own tool and selling hand-dyed yarn and supplies, Amy expanded her reach by teaching the technique, then opening a school that certifies instructors in her methods. Amy has also authored a number of books, most recently Intermediate & Advanced Punch Needle Rug Hooking: Techniques, Projects, and Inspirations with co-author Louise Kulp. Since selling her company in 2024, Amy has returned to punch needle just for the joy of it. “I can just make whatever I want and not have to tell anyone how I've done it,” she says. “I can just play, which is what my students have gotten to do. . . . And so I'm having a lot of fun now punching just for this sheer pleasure of it.” Links The Oxford Company website (https://amyoxford.com/) The Oxford Rug Hooking School (https://amyoxford.com/pages/oxford-rug-hooking-school) Oxford Punch Needle Handbook (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1085/1826/files/Oxford_Punch_Needle_Handbook.pdf?v=1729862800) Amy Oxford's books are published by Schiffer Craft.

Suffering from social fatigue, people are increasingly turning to private spaces online where they are free to be more themselves. Community marketing expert Sara Wilson calls them "digital campfires" where brands are shut out of the conversation.

Mike Schaedel is the Western Montana Forest Restoration Director for The Nature Conservancy, where he leads some of the most ambitious and collaborative forest restoration work happening anywhere in the West. Based in Missoula, Mike works at the intersection of science, community partnerships, and land stewardship—helping restore fire-adapted forests, reduce wildfire risk, and improve the health and resilience of landscapes across the region. Mike's career path is super interesting and anything but traditional. He grew up in Portland, fell in love with the mountains through rock climbing, and eventually landed in Missoula, where the combination of wild landscapes and a rich literary community drew him in. After earning an undergraduate degree in creative writing, he found his way into forestry and fire ecology through conservation corps work, hands-on restoration experience, and a graduate program focused on forest dynamics and fire. In this conversation, Mike offers a clear overview of how Western Montana's forests came to look the way they do today—shaped by millennia of tribal burning, transformed by railroad-era land grants and industrial logging, and altered further by a century of fire suppression. He explains why effective restoration now depends on combining mechanical thinning with prescribed fire and on working across ownership boundaries with partners ranging from local communities to tribes and federal agencies. We also discuss some of the innovative collaborative efforts underway in the region, as well as a memorable story of a prescribed burn that came together through quick problem-solving and deep trust. This is a rich, informative, and hopeful conversation about what it takes to restore forests at scale—and why the future of these landscapes depends on both ecological understanding and strong community partnerships.

Martin Forde is the co-founder and partner at Highline Brands, a retail brokerage built for modern CPG and emerging brands. As the first sales hire at Dr. Squatch, he helped lead the brand's Walmart launch—which did over $50M in year one and set the foundation for a $1.5B exit to Unilever.In this episode of DTC Pod, Martin shares the full playbook for making the leap from DTC to retail. He breaks down how to evaluate which channels make sense, what buyers actually care about (hint: it's not your brand), how to pitch them, and how to choose the right brokerage partner. He also gets into the operational side: how deals are structured, why retail timelines take longer than most founders expect, and what actually drives velocity on shelf.Episode brought to you by StordInteract with other DTC experts and access our monthly fireside chats with industry leaders on DTC Pod Slack.On this episode of DTC Pod, we cover:1.

Why do smart people at health nonprofits keep spending tens of thousands of dollars on website projects that don't solve the actual problem? In this episode, Spencer breaks down a pattern he sees repeatedly: organizations making expensive website decisions based on internal assumptions rather than user evidence. The result? Projects that never get buy-in, or worse, projects that DO get approved but build the wrong thing entirely. You'll learn: The three most common failure modes for nonprofit website projectsWhy "we need more templates" and "we need better design" are symptoms, not root causesThe two critical pieces of information you need before you can know what to buildA practical approach to getting stakeholder alignment and user evidence (whether you hire someone or do it yourself)How to pitch website projects to leadership with evidence instead of opinions If you're planning a website project, trying to get budget approved, or working with a vendor right now, this episode will give you a framework to make better decisions.

You know that electric rush when you finally build the business you've been dreaming about? And then, right as you're about to tell people… you freeze?In this episode, Carly and Joe dive into one of the least discussed but most universal solopreneur struggles: the fear of actually putting yourself out there. Why do so many solopreneurs, yes, even the wildly successful ones, get stuck right at the moment visibility matters most?From perfectionism to vulnerability to the dread of “seeming salesy,” we break down why this happens, the hidden costs of staying quiet, and the powerful mindset shifts that help you move forward with confidence (including why “I'm not selling-I'm helping” changes everything).If you've ever hesitated to hit publish, announce your business, or send that first promo email, this conversation is going to feel like a giant exhale. You're not alone, and after this episode, you won't stay stuck.FAQs From The EpisodeHow do I promote my business without feeling salesy or annoying?Absolutely, this comes up constantly. The key is reframing. Promotion isn't about pushing; it's about helping. Share stories, tips, and solutions that genuinely support your audience. If your intent is to serve, people won't experience your message as “salesy," they'll experience it as valuable. And the people who aren't your ideal clients? They'll self-select out. That's a good thing.What if my work isn't perfect yet? Should I wait until it's ready?Short answer: No. Long answer: still no. Perfectionism is fear wearing a fancy outfit. Your audience can't benefit from what they can't see. Put the version out that is good enough to help someone right now. Then improve it based on real feedback instead of imagined critique. Visibility creates clarity.How do I get comfortable being visible if it feels so vulnerable?Start in your comfort zone and expand outward. If video feels like jumping off a cliff, start with written posts. If posting publicly feels overwhelming, start by sharing with a small circle. Momentum comes from micro-bravery. And remember: every solopreneur you admire felt this same discomfort. It's not a sign you're doing it wrong; it's a sign you're doing it.

Eric G and John Dudley are diving into the thrilling world of home improvement by unveiling their top 10 projects to tackle before the year wraps up. From snagging those elusive energy tax credits to ensuring your home is cozy and ready for winter, they're serving up some serious wisdom that could save you some bucks—and maybe a few headaches along the way. Trust me, if you've ever thought about how to maximize your home's potential while still having a few coins left in your pocket, this episode is your ticket. They'll even throw in some humorous banter about the absurdities of home maintenance, making it an entertaining listen, whether you're a DIY newbie or a seasoned pro. So, grab your tools, maybe a snack, and let's get into those projects that might just make you the envy of the neighborhood—or at least keep your house from falling apart.Home improvement aficionados Eric G and John Dudley have a not-so-secret agenda: to enlighten us all before the year wraps up. In this episode, they reveal their top 10 projects that aren't just good for your home; they're also a shot at saving some cold hard cash—if you can keep your procrastination tendencies in check. Starting with the urgency of claiming those energy tax credits, they humorously dissect the complex world of rebates and incentives that, let's be honest, often make you feel like you need a degree in gymnastics just to complete the application. As they shift gears, Eric and John tackle the importance of winterizing your home—because, spoiler alert: leaving your hoses connected is not a solid life choice. They share comical tales of frostbite and bad decisions, all while urging listeners to get their HVAC systems serviced before the chill sets in. The guys are quick to remind us that maintenance isn't just for the car; it's for your home too! The episode picks up steam as they discuss the power of decluttering, which they frame as an essential step in getting ready for tax prep. With a wink and a nudge, they share their own struggles with organization and the constant battle against the clutter fairy. Wrapping it all up, they encourage everyone to set realistic goals for 2026—because, let's face it, planning ahead is way better than scrambling at the last minute, wondering why you're out there in the snow trying to fix a leaky roof. Eric and John's mix of humor and practical advice make this episode a must-listen for anyone wanting to take charge of their home before the new year hits!Takeaways: Claim those energy tax credits before they disappear at the end of the year; it's like free money, so why not? Local energy companies often have hidden rebates for upgrades; check them out or risk losing cash. Decluttering your space may lead to accidental renovations; just try to keep it simple, folks! Ensure you review your home insurance coverage; you might need more than you think with rising home values. Winterize your home by disconnecting hoses and servicing your HVAC; it's not just smart, it's essential! Plan your home improvement projects for the next year now, or you'll be scrambling in June like the rest of us!

Will Indonesia build a high-speed railway to Bali? Why Is 19 December a vital date in Vietnam? What is the 'Cosmic Turtle'? When will the first passengers touch down at Long Thanh Airport? And will Thailand's "Three Airports High-Speed Train" ever take to the tracks? This week, Gary welcomes back James Clark, Founder of the Future South East Asia newsletter, to discuss the politics, financing, construction and traveller benefits of 2025's biggest and boldest travel and transport mega-projects across the region. Some of these are newly announced, some are nearing completion, and others remain works in progress. All form part of South East Asia's ongoing infrastructure build-up to handle enlarged travel capacity in future. The journey takes us by narrow-body planes and bullet trains from North Bali to Phnom Penh, the Malaysia-Singapore border to Bac Ninh province in Vietnam and Bangkok to Borneo. And there's much more to watch out for in 2026!

Get today's deal, Organized Coach Academy, and all five Black Friday offers here → https://simplysquaredaway.com/blackfriday There is a real secret to getting organized, and it is probably not what you think. In today's episode, I share why organizing anything, your business, your home, your digital life, only works when you treat it like a project. Projects have a start date, an end date, clear steps, and a plan you follow through on. I walk you through how to plan your organizing project for Q1 using my SPACE method and a few simple habits, including color-coding your project on your calendar so every related task is easy to see at a glance. We also talk about identity, because the truth is, you cannot outperform what you believe about yourself. As Sarah Arnold-Hall says, we cannot outperform our identity. If you believe you are disorganized, you will keep recreating disorganized results. That is why, in both Organized Coach Academy and Organized Life Academy, we focus on shifting your identity before you ever organize a single file or closet. And because it is Black Friday week, today's deal gives you everything you need to set up this project with clarity and structure. Deal 3 is the Organized Coach Academy at half off (!!!) and the full project plan is already built for you. You can organize your business in Q1 or buy now and start in Q2 since you have lifetime access. If your main project next year is your home, Organized Life Academy is also half off this week and follows the same project-based approach for a full year. Join now for 2026 and get December included for free! Tune in to learn the real secret to getting and staying organized.

Forget the old playbook. The linear career ladder — degree, loyalty, promotions, retirement — is gone for good. Today's market doesn't reward tenure, job titles, or waiting your turn. It rewards adaptability, strategic width, and leaders who can go deep without staying narrow. If you're still measuring success by promotions instead of progress, you're playing a game that no longer exists.   The real cost of staying ladder-minded Three years. That's the average tenure of a C-Suite leader today. The skills that got you hired five years ago? Already trending obsolete. And in a market moving this fast, the only real job security is the kind you build yourself — through range and relevance.   In this episode: • Why the old equation “progress = promotion” is keeping leaders stuck • The rise of the T-Shaped leader — and why depth alone is now a liability • How adaptability replaced tenure as the top hiring metric • The difference between strategic width and being a generalist • Why projects, not positions, drive credibility in a skills-based market • How to communicate your value on LinkedIn in seconds — the new résumé reality   A real before/after transformation Before: A seasoned executive with deep expertise and a standout vertical — but no visible width. Their experience ran deep, but it looked narrow from the outside. Then: They reframed their story around strategic width, showcasing cross-functional experience, adjacent skills, and project-based wins. After: They moved from being overlooked as “too specialized” to being the standout candidate who could bridge data, strategy, tech, and communication. Their search accelerated — and so did their offers. That's the power of becoming T-Shaped: not more skills, but the right adjacent ones.   Timestamps (0:00) – Intro (1:13) – Why skills-based hiring is a different market entirely (3:37) – What killed the traditional career ladder (5:20) – Ladder vs. lattice: why upward-only thinking no longer works (8:09) – Depth + breadth: the new definition of progress (10:02) – What a T-Shaped leader actually looks like (14:01) – Strategic width vs. generalist thinking (19:18) – How to show your T-Shape on LinkedIn (21:52) – Projects that signal adaptability (26:41) – The 3-question audit for staying relevant (28:48) – How to strengthen and deepen your T-Shape   The takeaway The market doesn't reward ladder climbers anymore. It rewards leaders who stay sharp, multidimensional, and adaptable. The ladder is dead. The lattice won. Build the shape that gets you hired next.   Connect with Today's Guest, Raina Gandhi LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rainagandhi/ Website: https://www.rainagandhi.com/   Subscribe to Career Blast in a Half Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/career-blast-in-a-half/id1670977528?i=1000735380994 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3b3kSamj8RbTNNgOg5E5oi?si=6d74e695780f4780 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpGM7j8croBkkZ4bLqN7DOQ/   About Career Blast in a Half A third of our lives is spent working.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The U.S. is moving toward direct peace talks in the Ukraine war, with President Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff headed to Moscow next week to negotiate a potential deal.  A Putin advisor confirmed the visit as Ukraine says it's reached a common understanding with the Trump administration on the framework of an agreement.  Trump says his 28-point plan has now been fine-tuned, even as heavy fighting continues in eastern Ukraine.   Two --- The FBI wants to interview six Democrats featured in a video encouraging military members to refuse illegal orders.  The FBI has reportedly been in contact with Capitol Police to get the interviews scheduled.  President Trump has called for the lawmakers involved in the video to be punished. And number three ---  Energy experts say Michigan's grid can support current demand but may need major upgrades as new data center proposals move forward. Projects in Saline Township and Livingston County have raised concerns about heavy power use, water demands, and strain on local wells. A national report shows regions with large clusters of data centers face higher outage risks during extreme weather. Analysts say Michigan isn't in that category yet but will need stronger transmission and distribution systems to keep pace.

They break down how their SIDEPIECE duo works, stressing communication, collaboration, and the importance of having a solid team in the music industry. They also open up about financial uncertainty, building SIDEPIECE into a long-term brand, and navigating early success in house music. Other themes include breaking through gatekeeping, balancing ego and humility, evolving musical taste, and creating a community that stays connected to the art and the fans.Who are SIDEPIECE: While Dylan Ragland and Ricky Mears meant to start a side project, they weren't totally expecting to create SIDEPIECE, the GRAMMY-nominated house duo that's clocked more than 362 million global streams since its inception. The two producers – Ragland makes music as fan favorite Party Favor and Mears produces as dancefloor igniter NITTI – first linked via DM in 2019 to share track ideas.

If you've been getting hammered with “AI income hacks” on Instagram and TikTok, you are not alone. Carly has been targeted so aggressively that she's starting to suspect her phone can hear her thoughts, so today, she and Joe sit down with Becky Beach, a solopreneur who actually does this stuff successfully. From AI-powered funnels to Instagram chatbots to wildly profitable printable products, Becky breaks down exactly how she built a decade-long business that lets her make real money while still having time for her family. She shares the mistakes she made early, the systems she relies on now, and what solopreneurs need to know before diving into digital products or automations. If you've ever wondered, “Can this AI-funnel thing actually work?”...this episode is your answer.FAQs From The EpisodeCan I actually start with zero list and zero social media following?Yes, but not overnight. Becky makes it clear this is not a get-rich-quick play. She recommends picking a niche you genuinely care about, creating small pieces of free value, and using those to build your list through lead magnets. Social media helps, but email is what converts.Do I need design skills to sell printables or digital products?Nope. Becky happens to be a trained designer, but plenty of sellers rely on Canva, templates, or affiliate programs to get started. You can promote other creators' printables while you learn, then create your own later.Are AI funnels and chatbots too saturated now to work?Not if you bring something unique. Becky explains that even though AI is everywhere, most people execute poorly. Your edge is: – niching down – making user-friendly products – offering consistent free content – using your story and personality as your differentiator AI tools help automate and scale, but they only work if your foundation is solid.

When a client comes in with a dream project and a shoestring budget, what should a developer do? In this episode, Matt and Mike break down the low-budget dilemma - why clients under-budget, when it makes sense to try working with them, and when it's better to walk away. We explore how to trim features without killing quality, how to set realistic MVP expectations, how to handle classic client excuses (“my cousin can do it cheaper”), and how to protect your reputation even when money is tight. If you've ever wondered how far you should cut features or whether a project is still worth doing, this episode dives deep into the realities of balancing budget, quality, and your long-term brand.

"NO LIMITS: FROM THE PROJECTS TO THE PEAK OF POWER" Follow us on all our social platforms @GrantCardone In this powerhouse episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant brings you two extraordinary stories of ascent from nothing to the top of the business world—real-life proof that your beginnings don't determine your finish line. First, Grant sits down with a real-estate force who went from $600 in his pocket to managing a $4 BILLION development pipeline. He breaks down the mindset shift that took him from pumping gas and cleaning dental offices to building Angel's Landing, one of the boldest developments in downtown Los Angeles.  His message is clear: Cash flow beats net worth. Money should work harder than you do. Action destroys excuses. His journey—from a childhood shaped by the struggles of the segregation era to sitting at the table with Senators, bankers, and decision-makers by age 26—proves that the American Dream belongs to anyone willing to hustle, learn, and never quit. Then Grant welcomes Lloyd Blankfein, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, a man who helped generate over half a trillion dollars in revenue during his run. But instead of a privileged Wall Street origin story, Lloyd reveals the truth: He grew up in Brooklyn public housing, hustling from age 13—selling popcorn at Yankee Stadium, delivering prescriptions, tutoring for $1.50 an hour—all fueled by one thing: escaping poverty. His parents worked blue-collar jobs, and the motivation of "no choice but to succeed" pushed him from a tough NYC school to Harvard on a scholarship, and eventually to the top of global finance. Lloyd shares what it was like sitting across from titans like Bezos, Musk, and the world's most powerful financial players—proving that ambition, discipline, and refusing to stay stuck can take you from the projects to the pinnacle of power.
