Welcome to the Draft Room! This comprehensive quarterback breakdown covers every top 200 prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft class, working from Cole Payton all the way up to consensus number one Fernando Mendoza. In what many are calling the weakest quarterback class in years, we dig into the film, PFF grades, and intriguing storylines behind each prospect. We examine the dual-threat potential of NDSU's Cole Payton and Arkansas's Tailen Green, break down why Cade Klubnik's struggles mirror Jordan Love's pre-draft concerns, and analyze the accuracy of Baylor's Sawyer Robertson. The evaluation continues with Drew Allar's ankle injury concerns, Carson Beck's troubling leadership questions, and Garrett Nussmeier's mysterious torso injury that derailed his season. We also cover the bizarre legal situation surrounding Trinidad Chambliss and his fight for NCAA eligibility, Ty Simpson's boom-or-bust profile, and why Fernando Mendoza checks every box for the number one overall pick. Whether you're looking for sleeper developmental quarterbacks or trying to understand why this class lacks elite talent, this episode has you covered. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

I'm digging into a frustrating reality many teams face: even technically superior analytics and AI products routinely lose deals—not because the KPIs or models aren't good enough, but because buyers and users can't clearly see how the product fits into their day-to-day work. Your demos and POCs may prove what's possible, but long time-to-understanding, heavy thinking burden on the user, and required behavior or process changes introduce risk—and risk kills momentum. When value feels complicated, sales don't move forward.     Adding to the challenge is that many sales efforts focus almost entirely on the fiscal buyer while overlooking the end users who actually have to adopt the product to create outcomes. This buyer–user mismatch, combined with status quo bias, often leads to indecision rather than change. To address this, I explore the idea of thinking about the sales challenge as a product problem—and I introduce the idea of achieving Flow of Work Alignment (FOWA). The goal isn't better persuasion—it's clearer value. Strong FOWA means transitioning from demonstrating capabilities to helping customers see themselves—and their workflows—represented in your demos and POCs. The result? Prospects understand your value quickly, ask deeper, contextual questions, and deals move forward.      Highlights/ Skip to: Data products must work harder to expose value clearly to avoid the dreaded “closed-lost” deal stage in your CRM (1:38) Making your data product's value instantly obvious (5:18) How the “old model” of selling based on capabilities and feature demos can lead to lost sales (7:22) What  Flow-of-Work Alignment is and how it can help you unlock deals (13:02) How to know if you have achieved FOWA or not in your product and sales process (13:58)

Do buyers lie? The short answer is yes and I'm going to tell you why in this episode. I'm also going to tell you how to get the truth of their issues out and close the deal. Why Do Buyers Lie?Buyers don't always lie intentionally. However, there're three main reasons why they do:They feel uncomfortable saying “no.”They're not interested but don't want to hurt your feelings.They want to “think about it,” often as a way to avoid further discussion.Key Strategies for SellersIf you find them lying to you, try these strategies to get the truth out of them: Seek honest answers by asking tougher, more direct questions.Never assume a prospect's motives, instead get to the real issue.Practice probing with family or friends to build confidence.Avoid desperation and maintain control throughout the process.Don't wait. Address hesitations immediately rather than letting deals linger.“Why in the world do we hoard horrible deals? Is because internally we believe that there's still hope. But I'm telling you not to do that. Cut them and go to the next one. Don't be afraid of losing something.” - Donald KellyResourcesKeep track of your sales activity and boost your results with the Prospect Pro sales tool.Join the LinkedIn Prospecting Course to improve how you use LinkedIn and book more consistent, high-quality sales appointments.Visit Blue Mango Studios for help in creating podcast production content.

In this episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer Podcast, host Charles Specht discusses the challenges insurance agents face in prospecting and securing exclusive access to markets. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the insurance buyer's perspective, the necessity of Micro-Niching to stand out, and the common issue of agents presenting only one quote in their proposals. Charles advocates for positioning yourself as a "multiple quote option producer" to build trust and ultimately win clients' business through exclusivity. TAKEAWAYS: Prospecting can be frustrating when clients seek multiple quotes. Insurance buyers often don't understand the process or the agents. Micro-Niching helps agents stand out and build trust. Agents should present multiple options to clients. A strong marketing summary is crucial for success. Positioning is key to winning clients' trust. Clients prefer agents who show them multiple options. Understanding the client's perspective is essential. Agents need to change the perception of their role in the market.

Fantasy Baseball Live – February 1, 2026 – 3 pm ETSegment 1 – News and Notes1.The Giants agree on a one year deal for Luis Arraez. While the adage that there is no bad deal, I'm not sure what this does for the Giants except block Casey Schmitt – but maybe he's not much better. Is there anything here for fantasy managers?2.The Giants also sign Harrison Bader. Any interest?3.The White Sox sign Seranthony Dominguez. I know the White Sox have said that they will make Grant Taylor a multi-inning reliever, so I'm assuming Dominguez is the closer. How are you handicapping the closer situation in Chicago?a.Also, the White Sox sign Austin Hays which push Luisangel Acuna to a utility role. Thoughts?Segment 2 – Outfield Rankings for the 2026 Season1.How are you approaching this position for your upcoming drafts?2.We will break down the top 45 in detail. Then, go through the next 30 in less detail. We will end by jumping around the remaining ranked players.3.Which player not in the Top 15 has a chance to emerge there next season?4.Which Top 15 player will not be there next season?5.Give me a couple of sleepers6.Give me one, maybe two guys you are just going to avoid drafting?

This one is for entrepreneurs who do all the selling in their business, and in this episode, I break down the difference between suspects and prospects. Most people think they have a lead problem, but what they really have is a classification problem. Curiosity is not commitment, and intention is not intensity. When you mix those up, suspects drain time, focus, and energy that should be going to real buyers. I explain how to spot the difference early so you invest your attention where it actually pays off. Show Notes: [02:56]#1 Suspects are your information seekers.  [08:59]#2 Hypothetical versus practical. [14:43]#3 Use the signal story system framework as your filter.

Whether you're the one being left or the one doing the leaving, a breakup always presents certain challenges. It's pretty common to try to learn from the relationship that's ended, in order to move forwards in a positive way. And those takeaways can help us gain perspective and avoid making the same mistakes in the future.  But when that kind of rumination becomes excessive and persists with time, it can become problematic. In late 2024, American psychologist Marie Land came up with the term “love echoing” to describe those kinds of thoughts. Where does the “echo” part of the term come from? What are the possible consequences of love echoing then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Rainforest enables vertical software companies to embed payment processing directly into their platforms - solving the complexity that previously forced software companies to direct customers to separate banks or resellers for payment processing. Founded by Joshua Silver, who spent nearly 20 years in payments starting with PatientCo (a healthcare billing company that scaled to process billions for major healthcare organizations), Rainforest now serves as the enabling layer for thousands of vertical software companies. In this episode of BUILDERS, Joshua shares the unconventional GTM decisions that shaped Rainforest's trajectory: from making contracts a product feature to implementing a zero bugs policy, and why he measures podcast success by qualified lead conversion rather than download counts. Topics Discussed: The embedded payments opportunity: why software companies stopped directing customers to banks Building in highly regulated environments where traditional MVP approaches fail The extended foundation-building phase required before processing the first payment Transitioning from 2.5-3 years of founder-led sales to a scalable GTM motion Using contract terms as competitive differentiation rather than negotiation leverage Implementing a zero bugs policy and its impact on service costs and retention Building thought leadership through the Payment Strategy Show and Vertex conference Lead quality metrics over vanity metrics for content investments GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Hire from the industry and invest disproportionately in technical onboarding: Rainforest maintains one of the highest concentrations of payments talent on a percentage basis—nearly everyone has worked in payments or payments-adjacent roles. But hiring isn't enough. Joshua obsesses over training because in complex sales, prospects ask detailed technical questions and "the moment that you give bad answers or don't know your stuff, they're going to detect that and that's going to detract a lot from the trust." When selling technical infrastructure, surface-level product knowledge kills deals. Every touchpoint—engineers, support, account execs—must understand not just how the product works, but why it works that way. Engineer your standard contract to eliminate negotiation cycles: Joshua inverted conventional wisdom by making Rainforest's standard contract "overly favorable to the client"—no hidden terms, no punitive clauses, no exclusivity provisions. The result: "We don't have to spend a lot of legal time going back and forth. We don't have to invest a lot of time and by the way, burning a lot of goodwill too in contract negotiations." Prospects consistently report the legal process was shockingly easy compared to competitors. This isn't about being naive—it's strategic capital allocation. Joshua's philosophy: "Pick the fights that really matter and everything else is just rounding." Time spent in legal negotiations is wasted time that could be spent onboarding customers. Embed sales capabilities into your customer success function: Rainforest trains their CS team on negotiation tactics, value selling, and objection handling—competencies rarely developed in post-sale teams. Joshua noted the primary goal is customer assistance, but growth is an underlying objective. This isn't about making CS "do sales"—it's about equipping them to have commercial conversations when customers naturally express expansion interest. The key enabler: strong product-market fit means "we don't have to sell it that much. It's really a conversation about solutioning." Enforce a zero bugs backlog in high-stakes environments: Joshua's unofficial core value—"don't f with the money"—manifests in their zero bugs policy. It's not that they never create bugs; it's that "we don't tolerate living with them. We don't have a backlog of bugs to fix." When a bug is validated, they fix it immediately. His head of engineering recently discussed this on a podcast because people find it radical. The payoff: "When you have a higher quality product, you don't have to invest as much in service because the product just works and you have naturally happy customers." For infrastructure products where errors cascade into customer incidents, the accumulated cost of technical debt vastly exceeds the upfront investment in quality. Qualify content success by whether it's converting your ICP: Joshua rejects vanity metrics entirely. When asked about podcast ROI, he said: "I'd rather have 100 highly qualified listeners that are great targets for us than have 100,000 listeners and not have 100 qualified ones." They track this rigorously—every inbound lead is asked how they discovered Rainforest, and an increasing percentage cite the podcast. Prospects explicitly say "we heard the podcast and nobody else is putting this content out there." The metric isn't downloads; it's whether qualified buyers are self-identifying through your content and entering sales conversations pre-educated and pre-sold. Build ecosystem assets without demanding immediate attribution: Rainforest launched Vertex—a curated conference for vertical software founders and operators—that explicitly isn't a Rainforest sales event or user conference. Joshua doesn't track lead conversion from the conference: "That's not one of the key metrics. We actually look at NPS score as one of the key metrics. Did people find value in the conference?" They're running it twice this year because attendees report it's the highest-quality conference they attend annually. His philosophy: "Go create value, legitimate, genuine value for the ecosystem and they will come to us." They deliberately limit attendance to several hundred and choose venues that physically can't accommodate massive scale—maintaining intimacy as a forcing function against growth-for-growth's-sake. Plan for extended pre-market build phases in regulated industries: Joshua's advice for payments founders: "Make sure you know what you're getting into. It's a big build and there's very low tolerance for misses." Before processing their first payment, Rainforest had to achieve PCI compliance, SOC2 compliance, and implement comprehensive security infrastructure. Only then could they begin customer development with close network contacts. He contrasts this with his standard founder advice: build an MVP, sell quickly, get feedback, iterate. In payments, that playbook doesn't work—"you actually have to build so much of the foundation first just to process your very first payment." Founders in regulated spaces need patient capital and realistic timelines that acknowledge compliance infrastructure isn't optional. Institutionalize "ruthlessly simplify" as an operating principle: One of Rainforest's core values is ruthless simplification, which Joshua applies to "the legal contract, the engineering documentation, anything." He asks his team repeatedly when reviewing anything: "Can we simplify it? Can we simplify it? Can we simplify it?" The output quality dramatically improves. He references the Tim Ferriss framing: "What would this look like if it were simple?" When applied consistently, it cuts approximately 50% from plans, strategies, and deliverables—even when the creator thought they were already building simply. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
