In this episode, I break down the core habits that set successful CEOs apart and how those habits directly influence organizational growth. We explore the risks of overcommitting and getting too deep into day-to-day operations, a common trap that can cloud strategic focus. I make the case for a more disciplined approach to choosing opportunities and explain why shifting from monthly to weekly performance metrics can dramatically improve agility. We also dive into the value of developing strong leaders at every level and the role of clear, consistent communication in preventing costly misunderstandings. Ultimately, this episode is designed to help leaders sharpen their habits, elevate their impact, and accelerate growth. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:07 Good CEO Habits 2:56 Delegation and Ownership 5:17 The Power of Selectivity 7:27 Agility in Metrics 9:18 Building Leadership Depth 10:44 Communication Clarity 12:06 Reflecting on Improvement The Hidden Traps CEOs Fall Into: Good CEO Habits Start Here In this episode of Grow Think Tank, we're having an honest conversation about the everyday habits that can make or break a CEO's effectiveness. I'm Gene Hammett, and I'll walk you through some of the subtle traps leaders fall into, starting with the urge to say yes to everything. As CEOs, we're wired to see possibilities everywhere. I've been there myself, feeling like every new idea or opportunity could be "the one" that drives big growth. But a packed calendar isn't a sign of progress. In fact, it often pulls us away from the handful of initiatives that truly move the business forward. We also dig into one of the biggest bad habits: trying to stay involved in every operational detail. Research shows that CEOs spend an incredible amount of time in meetings, up to 72%, according to Harvard. That's a lot of hours that could be spent on creativity, strategy, and vision. I talk about how letting go, delegating more intentionally, and staying out of the weeds is actually one of the Good CEO Habits that fuels growth. Choosing the Right Opportunities: Not All "Yeses" Are Created Equal Next, we talk about the cultural pressure inside organizations to chase every possibility. Saying yes feels productive, but spreading yourself too thin rarely leads to meaningful impact. I share why developing a disciplined approach to opportunity selection is a hallmark of Good CEO Habits. Leaders who grow consistently don't chase more; they chase better. Warren Buffett said it best: the difference between successful people and really successful people is that the latter say no to almost everything. From there, we explore how shifting from monthly performance metrics to weekly check-ins can transform agility. Monthly metrics tell you what went wrong last month. Weekly metrics help you fix what's happening right now. That faster feedback loop helps teams stay aligned, spot issues early, and maintain momentum. Build Leaders, Build Clarity, Build Growth Finally, we look inward, specifically at how CEOs develop the strength of their team and the clarity of their communication. A powerful CEO doesn't try to be an expert in everything. Instead, they build depth in their leadership team, ensuring every department has someone capable, confident, and empowered. Closing those leadership gaps is essential for scaling it's another core Good CEO Habit that separates high-growth organizations from the rest. We also talk about communication, the kind of communication that goes beyond "good enough." Assumptions create confusion, rework, and frustration. Clear, intentional communication creates alignment and trust. I share how being explicit rather than vague can eliminate misunderstandings before they start. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to reflect on your own habits. Which ones are helping you grow, and which ones might be holding you back? When we ask better questions about how we lead, we uncover opportunities to evolve both as individuals and as organizations. That's what we aim for here on Grow Think Tank: helping leaders become more effective, more intentional, and more equipped to scale with confidence. Key Takeaways Fewer commitments lead to better focus. Saying yes to everything creates noise. The most effective CEOs choose opportunities selectively and focus on initiatives that truly drive growth. Staying out of the weeds is a leadership strength. CEOs who try to oversee every detail lose valuable time for strategy, creativity, and vision. Delegation is not just helpful it's essential. Weekly metrics create agility. Shifting from monthly to weekly performance reviews helps teams catch issues earlier, adapt faster, and maintain momentum. Depth in leadership beats well-roundedness. CEOs don't need to be experts in every area they need strong leaders around them. Building leadership capacity at every level accelerates scale. Clarity in communication prevents costly mistakes. "Good enough" communication isn't good enough. Explicit, intentional clarity avoids misunderstandings and keeps teams aligned. Good CEO Habits require intentional reflection. Sustainable growth comes from regularly reassessing your habits, asking better leadership questions, and making small adjustments with big impact. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

Independent musicians leave significant money on the table—not from lack of talent, but from unclaimed royalties and overlooked revenue streams. Amani Roberts, music business educator and author of the USA Today bestseller "The Quiet Storm," reveals the specific registration gaps costing artists thousands of dollars annually.   In this conversation, Amani breaks down the four major royalty collection systems most artists fail to use properly: PRO registration for public performance royalties, SoundExchange for digital performance royalties, publishing royalties through services like Songtrust, and the Mechanical Licensing Collective. He explains how unclaimed royalties eventually get redistributed to major labels based on market share—money that independent artists could be collecting themselves.   Beyond royalty recovery, Amani shares his framework for building a private and corporate event business that can generate 5-10x more revenue than traditional bar gigs. He details the specific industry associations to join (MPI, PCMA, SITE), how to price yourself for corporate events, and the contract elements that differ from venue bookings.   Our conversation also covers email list-building strategies that convert social media followers into owned audience assets, how book publishing creates revenue opportunities beyond book sales, and why direct fan-to-artist platforms should be every musician's first 90-day priority.   Key Insights from This Episode   The Four Unclaimed Royalty Streams: Independent artists commonly miss public performance royalties (PROs), digital performance royalties (SoundExchange), publishing royalties (Songtrust), and mechanical royalties (Mechanical Licensing Collective). Unclaimed royalties eventually get redistributed to major labels—money independent artists should be collecting.   Royalty Recovery: Artists can recover unclaimed royalties going back up to four years. Proper metadata management and identical information across all platforms are critical for successful collection.   The Streaming Misconception: The biggest misconception is believing streaming is where most royalties come from. Mechanical, public performance, and publishing royalties represent more significant opportunities that are frequently overlooked.   Private and Corporate Event Revenue: Private and corporate events can generate 5-10x more revenue than bar gigs. Break in by joining event planning associations like Meeting Professionals International (MPI), Professional Conference Management Association (PCMA), and Society for Incentive Travel Executives (SITE). Volunteer at local chapters to build relationships with planners.   Corporate Event Pricing: Ask about the budget upfront, research past hires, and price based on your worth with flexibility. Always require deposits and negotiate hotel stays, parking, meals, and written/video testimonials in contracts.   Email List Monetization: Email lists are owned media (social is rented space). Revenue generation can begin with 50 subscribers. Use lead magnets like acoustic song versions and tools like MiniChat to automate conversions.   Book Publishing Strategy: Books rarely generate significant income from sales, but can increase speaking fees, create performance opportunities at events, and enhance rates for services. View publishing as paid marketing for your broader business.   90-Day Priority: Launch a direct fan-to-artist platform like Patreon with a compelling lead magnet for fast revenue impact.   Sustainable Revenue Model: Target 30% from performance, 30-35% from direct-to-fan, 20% from merchandise, 15% from private events.

"What gets measured gets managed."Everyone knows this.But here's the question most leaders never ask:Are you measuring what actually matters?I see this all the time: Leaders drowning in data. Dashboards full of metrics. Weekly reports. KPIs tracked religiously.But when I ask them, "What are you actually measuring? And why?" they can't answer clearly.They're measuring everything. Which means they're measuring nothing that matters.Here's the problem: Most leaders measure lag indicators—outcomes that already happened. Revenue. Profit. Customer churn. Employee turnover.These tell you what happened. But they don't tell you what's going to happen. Or what you can actually control.Lead indicators predict the future. They're the activities and behaviors that drive outcomes. But most leaders don't track them.In this week's newsletter (LinkedIn) and podcast, I'm diving into:Why most performance metrics are useless (lag indicators only)The difference between lead and lag indicators (and why you need both)How to measure what actually matters (based on your Mission)Why Performance is a core element of your Leader's DashboardBecause if you're measuring the wrong things, you're managing the wrong things.And that's costing you.

In 2024 the Criminal Assets Bureau seized assets and money totalling just over €17 million and sold 20 houses that had been bought with the proceeds of crime. The sale of 20 forfeited homes – the highest number to date in any one year – took in early €5 million.And next week, in an auction timed for Black Friday, a haul of designer goods, ranging from Canada Goose jackets and Chanel handbags to Rolex watches and designer trainers, all bought with dirty money and all seized by the Cab, will go under the hammer – with the proceeds going to the exchequer.It's not all assets, the annual report shows that €13.3 million was collected by Revenue and just over half a million euro in Social Welfare recoveries.So it was a good year for the head of the Cab, Det Chief Superintendent Michael Gubbins who explains how he and his team of experts do their work and why, for most of them, anonymity is vitally important.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining (TSX.V:LUCA – OTCQX:LUCMF – FSE:TSGA), joins us to review their Q3 operations and key financial metrics, further debt repayment, ongoing metallurgical studies and development work, expanded exploration programs.  He provides insights on key upcoming growth initiatives through improving grades and better precious metals recoveries across both of Luca's producing assets – the Campo Morado and Tahuehueto mines, located in the prolific Sierra Madre mineralized belt in Mexico.    Third Quarter 2025 Highlights   Safety: continued emphasis on safe, disciplined operations with strengthened housekeeping and visible leadership engagement across both sites. Throughput increased: consolidated tonnes milled of 250,807 (+66% vs. prior year), supported by increased plant availability at both mines which has resulted in higher metal output: Gold increased 51%, Silver increased 97%, Zinc increased 78%, Lead increased 81%, Copper increased 43% over Q3 2024. Profitability indicators: Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million for the quarter and positive year-to-date adjusted net earnings of $12.8 million, a reflection of greater operational performance. Revenue momentum: Revenues of $35.0 million (+94% vs. prior year), supported by higher sales volumes and increased realized precious-metal prices (gold +28%, silver +18%). Campo Morado performance: production in Q3 improved year-over-year (+75% ZnEq pounds) on higher grades, notably zinc (+30%) and silver (+27%) and increased volumes (+43% tonnes milled per day). Cash costs decreased to $1.09 per payable ZnEq pound (-14% vs. prior year) with AISC of $1.43/lb slightly increased (+8%) from the same quarter in the prior period, reflecting increased sustaining capital development and the commencement of a significant exploration program at the mine (all of the Company's exploration expenditures are included in AISC). Tahuehueto ramp-up: 77,548 tonnes milled, setting a record of 969 tonnes milled per day in the quarter (+187% vs. prior year), with AuEq production up 74% year-over-year. As a result of increased volumes, direct cost per tonne reduced to $149 (-22%). Lower grades in the quarter, as well as increased capital development and exploration, resulted in an increase in AISC (+35%) year-over-year. Increased grades and the benefit of this capital development are expected to decrease AISC at Tahuehueto in the subsequent periods. Investment for reliability: sustaining capital investment of $8.7 million in the quarter ($19.0 million YTD) to accelerate underground development and exploration drilling, positioning both mines for improved grades and operating flexibility. The Company made significant progress in exploration, with multiple high-grade intercepts at both operations. Repaid $2.5 million in debt. Operations going forward:  Both Tahuehueto and Campo Morado are expected to enter higher-grade areas which, combined with the strong milling rates observed at both mines, is expected to drive increased production, improved recoveries, and lower unit costs through year-end.   Dan goes on to highlight both the expanded CAD$25Million exploration program, with both underground drilling and surface drilling going on at Campo Morado and Tahuehueto, in the first meaningful drill campaign in over a decade. In addition to targeting new high-grade gold and silver areas, like the Reforma zone, there is also a concerted effort to expand mineralization and extend the mine life for both projects. The company is also engaged in ongoing metallurgical testing to improve recovery rates for their 5 metals, and 3 concentrates.     If you have any question for Dan regarding Luca Mining, then please email those into us at Fleck@kereport.com  or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure Shad is a shareholder of Luca Mining at the time of this recording and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Luca Mining   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/   Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Reimbursements in health care have gotten more complex with the growing importance of risk-based, value-based plans and behavior change. In this video interview, Tiffany Waltos, Director of Revenue and Analytics at Community Health Care in Northern Ohio, discusses today's pressures on revenue cycle management and ways health care providers can respond.Community Health Care, with 19 offices and 65 providers with a focus on primary care, realized they needed to put clear rules in place for coding and billing and create consistency among doctors so that submissions would be approved the first time around. One of the big things that helped them do this was to contract for the RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) consulting services offered by their eClinicalWorks EHR vendor. Working together they were able to address some of the more complex issues they faced and improve their RCM efforts.Learn more about Community Health Care: https://www.chci.com/Learn more about eCW: https://www.eclinicalworks.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 20th Publish Date: November 20th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, November 20th and Happy birthday to Bobby Kennedy I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts Piedmont Eastside and Piedmont Oncology welcome medical oncologist Sami Ali Gwinnett commissioners to issue bonds for Gas South Arena renovations Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: STRAND THEATRE STORY 1: Lawmakers consider paring tax credits and exemptions to offset income tax cuts  Georgia lawmakers are seriously considering wiping out the state income tax—$16 billion in revenue—and replacing it by slashing $30 billion in tax credits and exemptions. “It’s not if, it’s when,” said Sen. Blake Tillery, who’s leading the charge. He called it a move for “competitiveness.” Supporters like economist Arthur Laffer praised states like Tennessee for thriving without income taxes, calling it “really cool” not to file returns. But critics, like Sen. Nan Orrock, warned it could hit low-income families and retirees hardest, especially if sales taxes rise. The debate? Far from settled. STORY 2: Piedmont Eastside and Piedmont Oncology welcome medical oncologist Sami Ali  Piedmont Eastside Medical Center and Piedmont Oncology are thrilled to welcome Dr. Sami Ali to their team. Dr. Ali, a board-certified hematologist and oncologist, brings years of experience treating patients with lung cancer, colorectal cancer, blood disorders, and more. Before joining Piedmont, Dr. Ali spent eight years at The Oncology Institute in Los Angeles, where he provided personalized care, led treatment plans, and contributed to clinical research. “We’re excited to have him,” said Larry Ebert, Piedmont Eastside’s CEO. “His expertise will help us expand cancer care in Gwinnett County.” Dr. Ali is now accepting new patients. For appointments, visit Piedmont.org or call 678-639-3950. STORY 3: Gwinnett commissioners to issue bonds for Gas South Arena renovations   Gwinnett County commissioners took a big step Tuesday toward funding a major facelift for the 23-year-old Gas South Arena. The plan? Revenue bonds—up to $172 million worth—to cover renovations like new seating, upgraded security, better concessions, and even a shiny new parking deck. The total cost? Somewhere between $170 and $176 million. The county might chip in $40 million to ease the debt load, according to Financial Services Director Russell Royal. What’s changing? Think premium seating, revamped suites, modernized restrooms, grab-and-go food, and a high-tech security plaza. Oh, and the roof, HVAC, and electrical systems? All getting replaced. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 4: Georgia Gwinnett College celebrates International Education Week   Georgia Gwinnett College turned International Education Week into a colorful, culture-packed celebration that brought the world to campus. From Nov. 10, students and staff dove into 14 events—everything from global traditions to study-abroad opportunities. The highlight? A visit from Lithuania’s Consul General, DOH-vee-dahs Dovydas shpo-KOW-skas Špokauskas, who spoke on diplomacy and security, thanks to professor DOH-vee-leh Dovilė boo-DREE-teh Budryte. Korean culture stole the show at Seoul Connections, with K-Pop, snacks, and games filling the room. And the International Thanksgiving? A feast of global flavors, live music, and a cultural fashion show. The week wrapped with poetry, music, and a reminder: the world’s waiting—go explore it. STORY 5: Gwinnett waiving tax penalties for residents impacted by government shutdown Gwinnett County is throwing a lifeline to residents hit hard by the recent federal shutdown. On Tuesday, commissioners gave Tax Commissioner Denise Mitchell the green light to waive penalties and interest on late ad valorem taxes for those furloughed or who lost SNAP benefits during the chaos. “Georgia law lets me waive penalties for reasonable cause,” Mitchell explained. “And over the past few weeks, I’ve heard from residents struggling to pay their bills because of the shutdown.” This doesn’t erase the taxes—just the late fees. To qualify, folks need proof of furlough or lost benefits, and the waiver only covers bills due during or shortly after the shutdown. We’ll be right back.

How can a smarter email strategy, not just more emails, transform your customer engagement and revenue?In this episode of The Hard Corps Marketing Show, I sat down with Megan Brewster, co-founder and lifecycle marketing expert at Bright Iris Marketing. Megan brings deep expertise in lifecycle marketing, data-driven decision-making, and automated email flows, sharing the strategies businesses need to scale their email performance without overwhelming their audiences.Megan breaks down why blasting your list with more emails isn't the path to growth. She reveals the importance of targeted, timely messaging and why understanding your audience segments, especially your highest-value buyers, is essential. Megan also dives into the massive, often untapped potential of automated flows, the importance of clear design and strong calls to action, and how to use data and testing to continuously refine your communication strategy.In this episode, we cover:More emails don't mean more revenue, over-sending can actually suppress engagement. Targeted, timely messaging that speaks to audience needs will always outperform sheer volume.Measure your campaigns and automated flows against industry benchmarks to understand what's truly working. If metrics like engagement and revenue exceed standards, you're on the right track.Flows like abandoned checkout, onboarding, and post-purchase journeys can generate up to half of your email revenue when optimized.

She was the youngest marketer to be selected to manage an entire Apple sales channel. This was due to her success with the marketing projects that she did for Porsche, Whole Foods, Target, and Disney. ⁠At Apple she broke a marketing record set by Steve Jobs (doubling sales for an entire Apple sales channel in one year, without increasing the marketing budget by even $1).After earning her MBA at IE Business School, she grew an international fashion company by more than 4200% in just 9 weeks.She is the only marketer to achieve all of that and then go on to grow a bootstrapped startup's “idea on paper” to more than $108,000,000 in less than five years.She is the author of Tools of Marketing Titans™: 90+ High-Impact Marketing Projects to Fast-Track Revenue Growth. https://adisoozin.com/#contenthttp://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Phil Panaro said multiple times on Schwab Network that he expects Nvidia (NVDA) to hit $800 by 2030. He's upping that metric today to $1,000 and added that Nvidia will reach $1 trillion in revenue. Phil argues that "A.I. is like electricity" as the tech evolves from one phase to the next. He outlines all the ways he sees Nvidia benefitting in A.I.'s next leaps, from data center shifts to robotics and autonomous driving. Tom White offers a bullish example options trade for Nvidia. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

About Nikhil Buduma:Nikhil Buduma is a San Francisco–based entrepreneur, scientist, and engineer working at the cutting edge of AI and healthcare. He is the co-founder and CEO of Ambience Healthcare, an AI platform built to supercharge every healthcare worker with intelligent automation. Under his leadership, Ambience has grown into one of the most well-funded AI healthcare startups in the world, raising over $343 million from top investors, including a16z, OpenAI, Kleiner Perkins, Oak HC/FT, Optum Ventures, and industry pioneers such as Jeff Dean and Pieter Abbeel. Before becoming CEO, Nikhil served as Ambience's Chief Scientist, leading the development of its core AI systems that streamline documentation, coding, and clinical workflows for healthcare systems, including the Cleveland Clinic and St. Luke's.Prior to Ambience, Nikhil co-founded Remedy Health, where he applied machine learning to advance value-based care models, backed by Khosla Ventures and Greylock. He also co-founded Lean On Me, a nonprofit organization that supports mental health and wellness across U.S. college campuses through anonymous peer-to-peer text support networks at institutions such as MIT, Duke, and UC Berkeley.A graduate and valedictorian of Bellarmine College Preparatory, Nikhil earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science and engineering from MIT. His career reflects a rare blend of technical mastery, compassion, and vision—using AI not to replace clinicians, but to restore the human joy in the practice of medicine.Things You'll Learn:Health systems often see low real-world usage of ambient tools; when daily adoption crosses most clinicians and visits, the ROI conversation becomes meaningful. This requires solving fundamentals across specialties, not just shipping features.If AI generates notes that don't align with payer rules and codes, organizations incur rework and risk. Integrating HCC, ICD-10, and CPT selection, along with supporting language, at the point of care helps prevent denials.Revenue integrity upside: Bringing CDI intelligence forward can reclaim large sums from work already done but not credited. This strengthens both financial sustainability and compliance posture.Continuous third-party auditing and domain-specific modeling are essential because general reasoning models often struggle with the nuances of revenue cycles. Independent validation builds organizational trust.Patient Summary anticipates questions and data needs before the visit, while Chart Chat answers complex, EHR-aware queries in seconds, helping to democratize top-tier standards of care in rural settings.Resources:Connect with and follow Nikhil Buduma on LinkedIn.Follow Ambience Healthcare on LinkedIn and visit their website.

Watch us on YouTube!Ed and Paul dive deep into OpenAI's massive long-term compute commitments and what it means for the company's economics, competitive positioning, and the broader AI arms race. They break down the tension between explosive revenue growth and unprecedented spending, the venture-logic behind “land-grab” behavior, and the risks these commitments pose to both vendors and competitors. In the second half, the conversation turns to Microsoft Teams, the EU's antitrust ruling, and the messy realities of bundling, competition, and predatory pricing — all served with classic Results Junkies candor, startup-operator logic, and more than a few cheeseburger metaphors. Topics & Timestamps 00:05 – Opening banter & travel logistics Ed and Paul compare time zones, Vegas scenery, and the eternal quest for a cheeseburger. 01:04 – Housekeeping Where to find Ed and Paul online; quick reminders for Results Junkies listeners. 01:20 – OpenAI's staggering compute spend Discussing the article outlining OpenAI's commitment to tens of billions in annual compute spending — and why the math seems wild compared to current revenue. 03:20 – Revenue vs. spend: does the model scale? How OpenAI reportedly moved from $1.7B to $12B annualized revenue in ~18 months — and whether that trajectory justifies a $60B/year commitment. 04:40 – Venture-style land-grab logic Why this looks like a classic “spend now, dominate later” strategy — just at an unprecedented scale. 06:00 – What happens if OpenAI misses the commitment? Exploring the vendor-risk problem: what does a partner do when they're left $10–20B short? 07:27 – Founders vs. investors: who's really risking what? Why downside risk isn't shared equally — especially when founders have little capital invested. 08:04 – Barriers to competition increase dramatically The larger these commitments get, the harder it becomes for smaller AI startups to realistically compete. 08:35 – Capacity lock-up strategies Why monopolizing vendor resources may be a conscious competitive tactic. 09:17 – Transition to Microsoft Teams & Slack's EU complaint Ed outlines the EU's ruling requiring Microsoft to unbundle Teams and adjust pricing. 10:58 – Is this really a European-only issue? A look at how bundling plays out in the US market as well. 11:36 – The role of precedent Can EU regulatory pressure spill into US practice? 12:22 – Government-mandated pricing: tricky territory Paul reacts to the idea of regulators dictating price gaps — and why it feels risky through a startup-operator lens. 14:01 – Is Teams effectively a “free burger”? Ed argues that bundling Teams at near-zero cost resembles predatory pricing designed to box out Slack. 15:49 – Revisiting antitrust basics Where's the line between aggressive competition and anti-competitive behavior? 17:33 – Airline analogy: when incumbents crush challengers Ed recounts how United Airlines once priced a regional competitor out of existence — and why the dynamic resembles the Microsoft–Slack situation. 18:59 – Could giants always “out-capacity” challengers? Why big players can add supply and out-discount smaller competitors indefinitely. 20:01 – Independence Air and the Dulles example A real-world case study in predatory pricing and market power. 22:12 – The free-market debate A nuanced discussion on where regulators should intervene. 23:01 – US vs. Microsoft (2000s) Why the landmark browser-bundling case still matters today. 25:17 – How defaults create de-facto monopolies Browsers then; team-collaboration suites now. 27:01 – Why Teams frustrates so many users Ed's legendary rant: stability issues, UX complaints, and cross-platform challenges. 28:29 – The cheeseburger episode idea A running joke about turning Results Junkies into a Bourdain-style food-and-business hybrid. 28:48 – More Vegas talk & logistics Travel schedule, long hotel stays, and construction-trip life. 30:07 – How Vegas won over Dana Why today's Vegas is more dining and convenience than chaos. 30:30 – Cheeseburger Day, store openings & invites Future events, potential travel, and family logistics. We'd love it if you'd leave us a rating.  It takes less than a minute and really helps us out.  Just click here!If you've got a comment or question for the show, you can e-mail us at show@resultsjunkies.com.  You can find Paul and Ed  online @paulsingh and @pizzainmotion.

Matching gifts are one of the fastest ways to grow event revenue—without asking donors for more than they've already given. Colleen Carroll from Double the Donation breaks down how employer matching works, why up to $4–$7B goes unclaimed every year, and simple ways to bake matching into your pre-event, night-of, and post-event workflow. We also cover the Handbid ↔︎ Double the Donation integration and how automated reminders do the heavy lifting for busy teams.Who this episode is forNonprofit leaders, development directors, event planners, and board members who want to increase net revenue without scaling workload.In this episode (highlights)Matching gifts 101: what counts as employer matching, volunteer grants, payroll giving—and how “workplace fundraising” ties it all together.Eligibility without HR: use a searchable database so donors can check their company's rules, minimums/maximums, and submit forms in minutes.Automation that converts: a proven reminder cadence (Day 1, Day 3, Day 30) to nudge donors to complete their match—politely and effectively.The revenue gap: $4–$7B in matches go unclaimed annually; roughly 10% of the U.S. workforce is eligible—your donors are in there.Pre-event momentum: add employer field + company search to forms, prime donors in invites/confirmations, and identify likely matching employers by region.On-stage moment: give matching a two-minute spotlight; peer testimony from a donor who's used matching is the fastest way to drive action.Post-event plays: trigger automated emails, then personally follow up on top gifts (call or short video) to secure high-value matches.Board & major donor strategy: structure annual giving to maximize match caps and deadlines; set calendar reminders so matches don't expire.ROI math: with entry tiers around ~$1K/yr (varies by org), a couple of matched gifts can cover the cost—and the rest is upside.Handbid ↔︎ Double the Donation: surface “Find a corporate match” in Handbid flows, pass donors to the right company form, and track completion.Resources & linkshttps://doublethedonation.com/ Colleen Carroll on LinkedIn Third-Party Integrations with HandbidCTAIf you're ready to unlock matching dollars, Handbid makes it easy to sell tickets, run mobile bidding, and capture employer matches—all in one place.

Map Out Your Most Profitable Year Yet When I started planning my year 12 months in advance, everything changed. I finally knew where my revenue was coming from, my team knew exactly what we were doing, and I stopped feeling like I was constantly scrambling. Today, I'm sharing the six-step process I swear by for planning your year… from choosing your revenue drivers to getting every launch date on the calendar. And the best part? You can plan ahead and still stay flexible! You don't need to know every single detail or the "how" behind everything. Instead, we'll focusing on the "what" and the "when." Whether you're planning for 2026 or mapping out your next six months, this episode will help you predict your revenue, feel more in control, and finally know if you're on track to hit your goals. Trust me, this planning method changed my business, and I know it can transform yours too! HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Reflect Before You Plan – Before mapping out your year, look back at what worked and what didn't. Analyze your profit and loss statement, identify your most profitable campaigns, and use tools like ChatGPT to spot patterns and opportunities you might have missed. 2️⃣ Choose 2-5 Revenue Drivers (And Repeat Them) – The fewer offers you have, the better, as long as you can still hit your revenue goal. Focus on doing one or two things really well multiple times throughout the year rather than spreading yourself thin with too many different offers. 3️⃣ Assign Revenue Goals to Every Launch – Once you map out your launch dates, assign specific dollar amounts to each campaign. If you can't break down how you'll hit your yearly revenue goal, you probably won't reach it. Looking back at past performance helps you set realistic yet ambitious targets for each launch.

We've all had those weeks where the inbox is overflowing, deadlines are creeping up, and everything feels one small hiccup away from chaos. When that happens, it's easy to blame your motivation or time management. But the truth is, when things feel chaotic or inconsistent, it's usually not a motivation problem... It's a systems problem.In this episode, I'm breaking down the five core systems that keep your photography business running smoothly: marketing, sales, fulfillment, retention, and accounting… plus one more that most people skip, data tracking. We'll talk about what each one actually looks like in real life, how to tell when it's working (or not), and why putting these in place doesn't have to be complicated or corporate.I'll also share some of my favorite resources that help make these systems easier, like the Simple Sales Blueprint, Revenue on Repeat, and the Photographer's Business Dashboard, so you can stop relying on hustle and start relying on structure.If you ever struggle with procrastination, this episode will help you put systems in place that save your time, energy, and sanity.LINKS:The Consistency Club: Your monthly marketing system in a box — stay visible without the hustle.Simple Sales Blueprint: Learn how to build a sales system that's simple, transparent, and effective.Revenue on Repeat: Create a portrait membership system that locks in repeat clients and predictable income.Photographer's Business Dashboard: Track your numbers, see your trends, and finally understand your business data.Profit First by Mike Michalowicz: A simple, practical framework for managing your money so your business stays healthy and profitable.Resources: New to the podcast?
