Economy 43% of Americans Near Poverty Place Essential Purchases on Credit The PYMNTS Intelligence report “Financial Lifestyles Shape Credit Reliance” revealed that American consumers are struggling to afford the basic essentials. The study found that 43% of American households who are a paycheck away from poverty cannot afford the essentials without using credit. The report surveyed 2,298 consumers and categorized them into three financial brackets: those who do not live paycheck to paycheck, those who live paycheck to paycheck comfortably, and those who live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to pay bills. The 43% of households living paycheck to paycheck with difficulties are eight times more likely to depend on credit cards for the essentials. This group was also six times as likely to rely on credit cards for non-essential purchases. Consumers in this category are placing 41% of all essential purchases on credit and sinking deeper into debt. Around 56% of Americans who do not live paycheck to paycheck are also purchasing essentials with credit, albeit many are using credit cards for points and incentives offered through their credit agencies. Struggling households are far more likely to rely on personal or payday loans, with 31% reporting taking out a loan for the essentials.

Fireworks. Travel. Noise. Every July 4th, veterinary teams face a predictable surge of panicked pets, frazzled clients, and last-minute sedation requests. So why are so many clinics still reacting instead of preparing? This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, unpack how veterinary clinics can turn this annual headache into an opportunity to deliver better care and boost revenue. From leveraging your PIMS to send targeted alerts about noise aversion and vaccine needs, to rethinking social media as part of a layered communication strategy, they outline the tools and tactics that practices already have but rarely use. They also explore underutilized solutions, such as preemptive outreach to anxious pet owners, virtual care referrals, technician-led VCPR visits, and offering in-clinic support during peak noise periods. As Dr. Ward puts it, you'll pay for it on the front end or the back. But you'll pay if you don't prepare and prevent. Whether it's the 4th of July, New Year's Eve, or beach-season boarding, this episode is a playbook for staying ahead of preventable emergencies, protecting your staff's sanity, and proving your clinic's value before the fireworks start.

Paul West, founder of Fumb Games, joins Two and a Half Gamers to share the real growth story behind the studio's breakout year. From Bitcoin Miner's $10 million run to the launch of Idle Mine and a creative rebrand that hit $1 million in sixty days, Paul explains how ruthless UA strategy, creative expansion, and a “cut what doesn't work” mindset allowed a lean team to scale tenfold—right in the middle of the industry's hardest year.What's inside:UA: Bigger Risks, Smarter FocusFumb Games ditched the “three-day payback only” mindset, stretched paybacks, and invested in UA even when it was scary. They ran tons of networks, then cut to the four that moved the needle.Creative Volume and ExperimentationAI tools, influencer gigs on Fiverr, and a nonstop creative testing culture delivered more winning ads and allowed for higher spend. The team tested everything—static, video, and even reskinned gameplay for new themes.LiveOps and Community as Retention FuelWeekend and midweek events, Discord and Reddit codes, and direct player rewards kept ARPDAU and DAU rising together—unusual for a scaling idle studio.Monetization UpgradesSubscriptions became 80 percent of purchase revenue in new titles. Side revenue from play gap (offline ad fill), Zebedee (crypto microtransactions), and Discord monetization all helped lift margins.Market Read and Thematic FocusWhen Bitcoin Miner started to plateau, they rebranded a casual project into Idle Mine, doubled down on the Bitcoin theme, and saw instant traction and monetization in a proven niche.Key Takeaway:You do not 10x by playing it safe. Cut what doesn't work, invest big in what does, and let your UA and creative testing do the heavy lifting. If the theme and the community are hot, pour fuel on that fire.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------Vibe.

In this episode of Inside the Network, we sit down with Joe Levy, CEO of Sophos, a 40-year-old cybersecurity company that has quietly become one of the most important global players, serving over 600,000 organizations and generating over $1 billion in revenue. Throughout his career, Joe has operated with a founder's mindset: thinking in bets, building great teams, spotting technical and market inflection points, and executing with long-term discipline. A great example is Sophos' recent $800+ million acquisition of Dell Secureworks, adding over 1,000 new team members and significantly expanding Sophos' managed detection and response and extended detection and response (MDR/XDR) capabilities. Today's session is an exciting masterclass on how a technically astute CEO navigates demanding customers, engages positively with Private Equity giants like Thoma Bravo, and partners with MSPs globally, while building a culture of "vulnerability-based trust”. One of the most insightful statistics Joe and his team at Sophos have highlighted is that while there are over 350 million businesses worldwide, fewer than 1 in 10,000 have a CISO. This episode is packed with practical lessons on founder transitions, managing through personal health crises, and building resilient security organizations. For any cybersecurity founder thinking about the long game, Joe's story is one you'll want to hear.As mentioned in the episode, Joe shared a curated list of books he's been collecting over the years for his daughter, a shelf he calls “my daughter's bookshelf.” These aren't just bedtime stories; they're books that have shaped Joe's thinking about the world, passed along with personal inscriptions to provide context and reflection. Some were even introduced by his wife, Tracie, and read together as a family, like the James Herriot series, which took nearly a year to complete and left a lasting impression. This isn't meant to be a definitive reading list - many classics, business books, and philosophical staples are intentionally left out. But it offers a deeply personal window into the stories that have mattered most to Joe as a parent, leader, and lifelong learner. He also shared a second resource: a living document of quotes, mental models, and hard-won career lessons, many of which have shaped his leadership journey and are referenced throughout the episode. You can explore both below."Joe's daughter's bookshelf" Quotes & career notes
Podcasts have hit record levels of growth and popularity. The boom may be over, but that just means the ones without real audiences will fade away. The good ones are thriving—and they're not going anywhere. Podcasts are here to stay.
Todd and Julie Chrisley's reality TV show, “Chrisley Knows Best,” became popular, in part, for their apparent family values. They were often seen on the show trying to teach their children how to be good Christians and live moral, honest lives. But we know that Todd acted one way on the TV show and a whole other way off camera, in a sort of a “do as I say, not as I do” lifestyle. From the vulgar and disturbing things Todd allegedly said and did to numerous employees at his company, to the well-documented threats Todd made to his own daughter when she dared to go against his alleged demands for her to lie about a Georgia Department of Revenue employee, to the allegations of violence leveled against Todd by his ex-wife …Todd Chrisley was a less than stellar example for his kids. Julie may not have been so brash about her moral imperfections, but she did her share of lying and cheating which was also documented in police reports and court documents. Yet, what most of the public knew about the Chrisleys were the life lessons they preached on their TV show. Todd said to his youngest child on one of their episodes “there's never a right way to do the wrong thing.” It's RICH of Todd to say this knowing that the episode was filmed after he and Julie were indicted on federal tax evasion and bank fraud charges, and were awaiting trial. If the Chrisleys actually practiced what they preached, perhaps they never would've lied to and scammed so many people over the years, let alone be accused of being the ringleaders of a years-long $36,000,000 fraud scheme. But as we're about to find out, the Chrisley's don't seem to think the rules apply to them.

Addressing the personal side of leadership often unlocks the solutions to business problems. One action small business owners can take: According to Will Samson, one action a small business owner should take is to make a list dividing what they can control and what they can't—this simple exercise brings clarity, reduces overwhelm, and empowers focused, intentional decision-making.
