Show Notes: David A. Fields talks about how AI is affecting consulting firms. David clarifies that his company's active client base is 30-50 firms, and they are being asked more frequently to help firms with an AI strategy. In terms of size, 20% of their business is solo consultants, while the rest are mostly businesses that range from $2 million to $100 million. Consulting Firms and AI Adoption David explains that the average revenue per FTE in consulting has remained around $250,000 for the past decade.He notes that firms are looking to create the same revenue with fewer people, which is the big promise of AI. He mentions the wide range of AI adoption rates among firms, from those just starting with chatbots to those seeing significant productivity gains. He also highlights the impact of AI on hiring junior people, with firms debating whether to hire junior analysts or use AI for faster, cheaper work. How High-Adopter Firms Use AI The conversation turns to examples of high-adopter firms and the tools they use. David describes a Canadian client that has seen 60% productivity gains by replacing functions with AI, including analysis, presentations, and proposals. The client has taken a hard line on not hiring anyone if AI can replace the function, leading to significant productivity gains and faster client results. David explains that the client uses AI to create summaries of context discussions, and templates for presentations and proposals, which are then populated with data. Additionally, AI speeds turnaround time, and has reduced the need to hire more people to do analysis or when the number of clients increases. Challenges and Opportunities in AI Adoption David discusses the challenges of creating effective AI templates and the importance of good direction for AI tools. He mentions that firms are often building AI templates in-house with some direction from experts. He talks about the variety of AI tools available, including general-purpose tools like ChatGPT and specialized tools for specific tasks. David emphasizes the importance of staying flexible and not fully committing to any one tool by subscribing to an annual membership, as the landscape is constantly changing. Variation in AI Adoption by Functional Areas The discussion moves on to variations in AI adoption by functional areas like strategy, operations, marketing, etc. David explains that adoption rates are more driven by the founder's mindset and operational orientation rather than the specific function. He notes that some industries feel less pressure to adopt AI, while others recognize that AI delivers the analytical horsepower that is needed to stay relevant. There are varying levels of AI adoption across different firms. Predictions for AI in 2026 David predicts that the next few months will be spiky, with specialists who can provide practical applications of AI faring better. He mentions that generalist recommendation givers may struggle more. It is recognized that clients often prefer consultants with specific industry experience, which can be a challenge for AI tools. He also mentions the limitations of AI research. When it comes to advice for junior consultants looking to enter the field, David suggests that domain expertise and knowledge that AI tools don't have are crucial for getting into consulting firms. He emphasizes the importance of being a top user of AI tools and for junior consultants to differentiate themselves by mastering AI tools and demonstrating their value to firms.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Sweetman, the developer behind on-chain music and co-founder of Recoup. We talk about how musicians in 2025 are coining their content on Base and Zora, earning through Farcaster collectibles, Sound drops, and live shows, while AI agents are reshaping management, discovery, and creative workflows across music and art. The conversation also stretches into Spotify's AI push, the “dead internet theory,” synthetic hierarchies, and how creators can avoid future shock by experimenting with new tools. You can follow Sweetman on Twitter, Farcaster, Instagram, and try Recoup at chat.recoupable.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Sweetman to talk about on-chain music in 2025.05:00 Coins, Base, Zora, Farcaster, collectibles, Sound, and live shows emerge as key revenue streams for musicians.10:00 Streaming shifts into marketing while AI music quietly fills shops and feeds, sparking talk of the dead internet theory.15:00 Sweetman ties IoT growth and shrinking human birthrates to synthetic consumption, urging builders to plug into AI agents.20:00 Conversation turns to synthetic hierarchies, biological analogies, and defining what an AI agent truly is.25:00 Sweetman demos Recoup: model switching with Vercel AI SDK, Spotify API integration, and building artist knowledge bases.30:00 Tool chains, knowledge storage on Base and Arweave, and expanding into YouTube and TikTok management for labels.35:00 AI elements streamline UI, Sam Altman's philosophy on building with evolving models sparks a strategy discussion.40:00 Stewart reflects on the return of Renaissance humans, orchestration of machine intelligence, and prediction markets.45:00 Sweetman weighs orchestration trade-offs, cost of Claude vs GPT-5, and boutique services over winner-take-all markets.50:00 Parasocial relationships with models, GPT psychosis, and the emotional shock of AI's rapid changes.55:00 Future shock explored through Sweetman's reaction to Cursor, ending with resilience and leaning into experimentation.Key InsightsOn-chain music monetization is diversifying. Sweetman describes how musicians in 2025 use coins, collectibles, and platforms like Base, Zora, Farcaster, and Sound to directly earn from their audiences. Streaming has become more about visibility and marketing, while real revenue comes from tokenized content, auctions, and live shows.AI agents are replacing traditional managers. By consuming data from APIs like Spotify, Instagram, and TikTok, agents can segment audiences, recommend collaborations, and plan tours. What once cost thousands in management fees is now automated, providing musicians with powerful tools at a fraction of the price.Platforms are moving to replace artists. Spotify and other major players are experimenting with AI-generated music, effectively cutting human musicians further out of the revenue loop. This shift reinforces the importance of artists leaning into blockchain monetization and building direct relationships with fans.The “dead internet theory” reframes the future. Sweetman connects IoT expansion and declining birth rates to a world where AI, not humans, will make most online purchases and content. The lesson: build products that are easy for AI agents to buy, consume, and amplify, since they may soon outnumber human users.Synthetic hierarchies mirror biological ones. Stewart introduces the idea that just as cells operate autonomously within the body, billions of AI agents will increasingly act as intermediaries in human creativity and commerce. This frames AI as part of a broader continuity of hierarchical systems in nature and society.Recoup showcases orchestration in practice. Sweetman explains how Recoup integrates Vercel AI SDK, Spotify APIs, and multi-model tool chains to build knowledge bases for artists. By storing profiles on Base and Arweave, Recoup not only manages social media but also automates content optimization, giving musicians leverage once reserved for labels.Future shock is both risk and opportunity. Sweetman shares his initial rejection of AI coding tools as a threat to his identity, only to later embrace them as collaborators. The conversation closes with a call for resilience: experiment with new systems, adapt quickly, and avoid becoming a Luddite in an accelerating digital age.

Eldon put a $150K line of credit on his house to start eSentire in 2001. No VCs would touch him—they didn't understand services businesses. He worked 12-hour days, 7 days a week for 7 years to hit $1M in revenue. His co-founder coded while he flew to New York on $99 JetBlue flights from Buffalo to save money. Then something clicked: they brought in an experienced CEO who transformed their scrappy cybersecurity consulting into a managed service. Revenue grew from $1M to $10M in just 3 years. They won 95% of competitive deals against Dell-backed SecureWorks by comparing themselves to a local burger joint versus McDonald's. Today eSentire is worth over a billion dollars.

Tamara Lane is an Emmy Award-winning journalist turned entrepreneur and the founder of Empower (mpwr.money), an AI-powered fintech platform built to transform access to credit and capital for gig workers, freelancers, solopreneurs, and business owners outside the traditional W-2 economy. Combining her expertise in brand storytelling, AI innovation, and financial inclusion, Tamara makes it her mission to redesign financial systems so more people—especially those previously left out—can build real wealth. She brings fresh perspective from years in journalism, startup marketing, and scaling positive-revenue tech ventures. On this episode we talk about: Tamara's journey from teen dance choreographer to Emmy-winning journalist, and her transition into startup tech entrepreneurship. How curiosity, resilience against rejection, and relentless networking set the foundation for entrepreneurial success—regardless of industry or background. Lessons learned launching media and tech startups: staying revenue-positive, finding the intersection of passion, opportunity, and value creation, and building healthy companies before chasing outside investment. The unique challenges gig workers and side hustlers face in accessing credit—and how traditional financial systems fail millions living the “multi-income” reality. The vision behind Empower: next-generation AI and alternative credit risk modeling, holistic financial coaching through real-time dashboards, and dynamic predictions to help users thrive financially—no matter how nontraditional their work or income. Practical advice for entrepreneurs: prioritize passion only where it meets real market opportunities and your proven skills, and design businesses for positive cash flow (not dependency on investors). Top 3 Takeaways 1. Build resilience to rejection—success in startups (and wealth building) is about persistence and adaptability, not just having a great idea.2. In a changing economy dominated by gig work, new fintech platforms like Empower are making real financial inclusion possible for people who've historically been left out.3. Revenue-first entrepreneurship beats chasing unicorn status; healthy businesses attract investment by solving problems and becoming sustainable early. Notable Quotes * “Your network is your gold—every real opportunity comes through talking to people, learning, and never stopping at the first ‘no.'”* “Passion alone isn't enough. Find the place where your skills, your interests, and the real world's market gaps meet—and build from there.”* “Empower's mission is simple: give every solopreneur a real shot at wealth by helping them tell their financial story and access better capital.” Connect with Tamara Lane & Empower: Platform waitlist and launch: mpwr.money Instagram: @tamaralaine_ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Interview with Dave Cole, CEO, EMX Royalty & Fred Bell, CEO, Elemental Altus RoyaltyRecording date: 10th September 2025EMX Royalty Corporation and Elemental Altus Royalty Corporation have announced a transformational merger that will create a mid-tier royalty company with substantial scale and institutional backing. The combined entity will operate 16 producing assets alongside over 180 additional royalty exposures across diversified global jurisdictions, positioning it as a significant player in the royalty sector.The transaction's cornerstone feature is Tether's strategic investment, with the digital asset company becoming a 33% shareholder while contributing $100 million at closing. This backing addresses a critical challenge for junior royalty companies by substantially reducing cost of capital while providing access to larger acquisition opportunities. Tether's involvement reflects their broader commodity allocation strategy, viewing royalties as complementary to their $10 billion physical gold holdings.Portfolio performance has been strong across both companies, with significant discovery success at flagship assets including Timok in Serbia, Diablillos, and Caserones in Chile. The combined portfolios benefit from approximately $100 million in annual drilling expenditures by operators, creating embedded discovery optionality without capital requirements from the royalty holders. Revenue composition will be 67% gold and silver versus 33% base metals, generating an expected $70-80 million in annual revenue.Management structure preserves expertise from both organizations, with EMX CEO Dave Cole leading the combined entity and Elemental Altus CEO Fred Bell serving as President and Chief Operating Officer. The team recruited Stefan Wenger as CFO, leveraging his experience growing Royal Gold from hundreds of millions to billions in market value.The merger is expected to close by mid-November, followed by a US listing targeting institutional investors who previously considered the companies too small for investment. This enhanced scale and liquidity should provide access to larger transactions while maintaining their technical expertise and disciplined approach to capital allocation across the full spectrum of royalty opportunities.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 11th Publish Date: September 11th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, September 11th and Happy birthday to Tom Landry I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Netherworld set to open Sept. 19 Grieving parents urge self-protection as lawmakers struggle to rein in social media State tax collections on the rise in August Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food 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: Ingles Markets 8 STORY 1: Netherworld set to open Sept. 19 This fall, Netherworld Haunted House in Stone Mountain is cranking the terror dial to 11. For its 29th season, the legendary haunt promises its longest, wildest, most jaw-dropping experience yet—think blockbuster effects, insane sets, and creatures straight out of your worst nightmares. Opening Sept. 19 for 35 nights of chaos, this year’s lineup includes “Monsters Attack!,” the grotesque carnival horrors of “Grendel’s Feast,” and the gut-wrenching “Oblivion: Return of the Mangler.” And the midway? Packed with creepy photo ops, escape games, and snacks like light-up cotton candy and “blood bags” for sipping. STORY 2: Grieving parents urge self-protection as lawmakers struggle to rein in social media Vincent LaBella didn’t realize his daughter was struggling until it was too late. Amaya, just a young teen, seemed like any other kid glued to her phone—always texting, always scrolling. But after hosting a small party at their Buckhead home in February, she died by suicide. Her Snapchat told the story: her friend group had turned on her, bombarding her with cruel messages for hours. TikTok’s algorithm didn’t help, feeding her sad songs and dark content, pulling her deeper. “It was poison,” LaBella said. He and other grieving parents are now urging lawmakers to rein in social media’s unchecked influence. STORY 3: State tax collections on the rise in August Georgia’s tax collections ticked up 3.2% in August compared to the same time last year, pulling in $2.41 billion, the state Department of Revenue said Tuesday. What’s behind the bump? Individual income tax receipts rose 1.8%, thanks to a nearly 10% drop in refunds. Sales tax collections also jumped—up 8.2%. But not everything climbed. Corporate income taxes, which make up a smaller slice of the pie, dropped 11%, down $4.5 million from last year. Meanwhile, gas and motor fuel taxes saw a modest 3.2% increase, adding $6.3 million to the state’s coffers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

This fall, more than 12,777 students are enrolled—the second-highest fall enrollment in the school’s history and the 10th straight semester of growth. The freshman class alone boasts over 2,100 new faces, and international enrollment jumped 7.5%. Health sciences saw an 18% spike, with education close behind at 11%. As GGC marks 20 years, it’s come a long way—from 118 students to nearly 13,000. STORY 5: Gwinnett County Fair gears up for fun and funnel cakes The Gwinnett County Fair is back this week in Lawrenceville, bringing its usual mix of rides, livestock, and—you guessed it—funnel cakes. For over 70 years, it’s been a local tradition, and this year promises a few new twists. Bee Vang, now in her second year as operations manager, is ready for the chaos. New this year? Circus Incredible, featuring Lyric Wallenda of the famous Flying Wallendas, and a magic show with Captain Jim. Plus, a “Shopping Mall” packed with local vendors. Oh, and clear bags only—don’t forget. We’ll be right back.

In Episode 271, we dive into one of the most critical parts of the Podcast Playbook: monetization. Podcasting is one of the most powerful tools for business development, but it comes with real costs — hardware, software, editing, your time, and even promotion. That's why monetization is not optional if you want your show to survive and thrive long term. In this episode, I walk you through why monetization matters, how to set yourself up for success early, and the five main revenue streams available to you as a podcaster: sponsorships, dynamic ad insertion, affiliate marketing, products and services, and paid communities.We also explore what sponsors are truly looking for, how to create compelling sponsorship packages, and why small niche shows can often command higher CPMs than large, general audiences. I share the pitfalls to avoid — from undervaluing your show to taking misaligned sponsors — and the long-term view you'll need to make monetization sustainable. Whether you're just starting or already running your podcast, this episode gives you the proven strategies to not only cover your costs but also to build real revenue that can support your growth for years to come.Key Takeaways: 1. Monetization is not optional — it's the only way to sustain a podcast long term.2. Hardware, software, hosting, editing, and promotion all carry costs that add up quickly.3. Planning for monetization early, including choosing a host with dynamic ad insertion, sets you up for success.4. Podcasts can generate revenue through sponsorships, dynamic ads, affiliate marketing, products and services, and paid communities.5. Sponsors care more about audience fit, consistency, and engagement than just download numbers.6. CPM (cost per thousand downloads) is a useful benchmark, but niche shows can command far higher rates.7. Even small podcasts with hundreds of downloads can monetize effectively if their audience is valuable to the right sponsors.8. Building custom sponsorship packages that include social posts, community mentions, and creative integrations adds major value.9. Avoid pitfalls like undervaluing your show, relying on one income stream, or taking sponsors that don't align with your audience.10. Monetization is a long game — start small, stay consistent, and treat every deal as planting seeds for future sustainability.✨ Join The Catalyst ClubIf you're ready to take the next step in your journey, don't go it alone.

Profitability is a word that makes many lawyers cringe. We know firms measure it, but the methods and metrics often feel murky—or worse, toxic to firm culture. Still, ignoring profitability is not an option if you want to succeed and thrive in BigLaw. In this episode, I break down what profitability really means inside large firms, why it's far more than just gross billings, and how to take control of the numbers that impact your compensation, partnership prospects, and long-term career. From cost structures and volume to realization and collections, I share how firms evaluate lawyers and practices, and the concrete steps you can take to ensure you're seen as a profitable and valuable member of your firm. At a Glance: 00:00 Why profitability is uncomfortable for many lawyers but unavoidable in firm evaluations 01:20 Why profitability metrics can feel toxic and how firms define them in different ways 02:39 Revenue versus profitability—why $5 million billed doesn't mean $5 million in profit 03:59 Partner cost per revenue dollar and how staffing models impact profitability 05:10 High-volume, lower-margin practices versus high-margin, resource-intensive matters 07:11 Comparing a $15 million practice with 15% margin to an $8 million practice with 30% margin 08:12 Why collections matter more than billings if the firm isn't getting paid 08:41 Understanding your standard rate, average billed rate, and why the gap matters 10:06 Realization rate explained with examples and what your firm expects from you 12:38 Collections as the true test of profitability and what firms conclude about lawyers who can't collect 14:18 The risks of unreliable clients, poor billing practices, or weak client control 15:28 How cost allocations and overhead factor into your profitability picture 16:22 Using dashboards, financial analysts, and legal operations pros to understand your data 17:13 Asking the right questions of CFOs and practice leaders to align with benchmarks 17:36 Why profitability is multi-dimensional and how to shift the conversation from toxic to strategic Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?

Joel Bauer was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. He has trained over two million graduates worldwide to monetize their life experience through his proven processes. With over four decades of success, he has empowered his students with the skills to speak, teach, close, market, and generate revenue with predictable results. His notable graduates include Dr. Terri Levine, Dan Lok, Joe Polish, Alex Mandossian, Peng Joon, Myron Golden, and many more. We discussed how he uses the Money Matrix which explains the psychology of why people buy using 20 moves, why people struggle to sell from stage, differences between selling on stage versus virtually, and how to present yourself in a way that is unforgettable. In addition, we talked about the secret to sales, why transformations are more powerful in small groups than large groups, becoming comfortable with commanding more money for what you do, and persuading people who appear to shut down even before you begin speaking. We talked about so much more on the show. You can listen and follow the show on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify, Audible, iHeart Radio, and at https://toginet.com/podcasts/successprofilesradio/

The conversation covers how AI is reducing manual labor, improving collections, and boosting operational efficiency across both private and DSO practices. Vishal also opens up about the startup journey, the importance of preserving human empathy in patient interactions, and the future of scalable, tech-driven dental practice management.

So many coaches are told to market to clients based on revenue. Six-figure earners only. “Serious” business owners only. No one under X dollars allowed. But here's the truth: Revenue doesn't equal commitment. I've met six-figure business owners who treat their business like a side hustle. And I've met women making less who are all in and willing to do whatever it takes. In this week's episode, I'll show you why marketing based on revenue can actually hold you back and how to call in the women who are truly ready (regardless of how much they're making). I talk about: Why money doesn't equal seriousness How you might be accidentally weeding out amazing clients The exact traits you should market to if you want committed clients If you've been tempted to add a “revenue qualifier” to your messaging, listen to this first.
