The company projects $27 million in 2026 revenue and $5.4 million in adjusted EBITDA at a 20% margin, after growing from just $2.9 million in revenue in 2023 to $22.4 million in 2025. It has reportedly designed and launched more than 2,000 properties nationwide, offering services spanning market strategy, design, sourcing, procurement, logistics, installation, staging, and launch.But what exactly is this company selling? The hosts try to reverse-engineer the business model, exploring whether it's essentially specialized interior design, high-ticket STR consulting, a buying group, or a sophisticated marketing and coaching operation. They estimate roughly $32,000 of cumulative revenue per property and dig into what might be driving the company's surprisingly rapid customer acquisition.The bigger question is whether the short-term rental market is still attractive enough to support the growth. The hosts discuss tightening local regulations, declining occupancy in some markets, overleveraged Airbnb owners, potentially expensive customer acquisition, and the lack of obvious recurring revenue. On the other hand, those same headwinds could create demand from owners who need help repositioning underperforming properties. They also explore potential strategic buyers, including STR property managers and companies that could monetize the platform's reported $15 million in annual purchasing influence.Key Highlights:- Project Blueprint forecasts $27M in 2026 revenue and $5.4M in adjusted EBITDA, with a 20% EBITDA margin.- Revenue grew from $2.9M in 2023 to $22.4M in 2025, with more than 2,000 properties reportedly designed and launched.- The hosts estimate the company has generated roughly $32,000 in cumulative revenue per property based on the teaser numbers.- Major risks include short-term rental regulation, softening occupancy, expensive customer acquisition, project-based revenue, and exposure to the Airbnb/STR cycle.- A strategic buyer—especially an STR management or furniture-related company—could potentially add recurring revenue and monetize the company's purchasing influence.Subscribe to  weekly our Newsletter and get curated deals in your inboxAdvertise with us by clicking hereDo you love Acquanon and want to see our smiling faces?

A marina gives hotel owners another customer base without adding a single guestroom. Jeremy Parks, President of Trident Marine Group, joins me on No Vacancy to explain how boaters drive spending across restaurants, bars, pools, spas and other resort amenities. His point is simple: every marina slip creates another revenue-generating opportunity from people already arriving at the property. For #HotelOwners, that means looking beyond room count and thinking about how every asset on the property contributes to #HotelRevenue and the overall #GuestExperience. Watch this one to see how waterfront hotels turn marina traffic into more business across the entire property. Thanks so much to Actabl for supporting this podcast.

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) reads his Bits about Money essay on how credit cards make money. The prompt was a listener who wondered how a card can include free travel insurance for someone who never carries a balance. He covers the four ways a card earns revenue (net interest, interchange, fees and marketing contributions), and explains why rewards competition makes some customers in the middle of the credit score ladder persistently unprofitable. He also explains why Europe's interchange cap left cards at about half of electronic payments, while Japan's uncapped interchange quietly pays for the rest of its consumer banking. In a new postscript, he walks through what a proposed 10% APR cap would mean for cardholders at the low end of the market, and how First Republic made sub-10% unsecured loans work by treating them as a way to win deposits.–Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/why-banks-pay-you-to-use-their-credit-cards/  –Presenting Sponsors: Mercury & GranolaComplex Systems is presented by Mercury—radically better banking for founders.

New Zealand's video game industry is punching well above its weight. Revenue surged 33% to $1.01 billion in 2026, with all but $55 million of that coming from exports. The industry is confident it can hit $2 billion by 2030. NZ Game Developers Association Executive Director Joy Keene told Mike Hosking in comparison, the global game industry grew by just 2.7% in 2025, so we're boxing well above our weight. She says the strength and quality of New Zealand's games is what's causing our phenomenal growth. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carlos Reyes once ran a massive 26-person real estate operation, spending $500,000 a year on Google AdWords while attempting to wholesale properties nationwide. Today, he is returning to real estate with a radically different approach, hyper-local focus, a team of fewer than five people, and a massive reliance on AI.In this episode, Brent Daniels and Carlos Reyes discuss why large, bloated wholesaling operations fail, the four critical phases of business mastery, and the exact financial metrics you must track to survive a stagnating market. Carlos also reveals his exact formula for successfully flipping houses in a declining market (the falling knife), detailing how he calculates holding costs, concessions, and contractor margins to guarantee profitability.

Today on the show we have Jack Cregan, Founder of Paymend, a company helping online businesses turn declined transactions into recovered revenue.In this episode, Jack shares his experience building payment infrastructure and explains the underlying mechanics behind why payments fail, from insufficient funds and fraud detection to cross-border transactions and payment processor limitations. We then discuss how Paymend approaches payment recovery through alternative PSPs, card monitoring, and partial authorizations, and we wrap up by exploring how businesses can reduce churn by making their products and infrastructure more embedded and difficult to replace.As usual, I'm excited to hear what you think of this episode, and if you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you.

Send us Fan MailRevenue may look strong on paper—but if the cash isn't there when you need it, your business can still be in trouble.In this episode of Scaling with People, host Gwenevere Crary sits down with Elaine Bogart, fractional CFO and financial leadership advisor, to demystify the numbers founders need to understand before scaling.Together, they explore why revenue, profit, and cash are not the same thing and how a gap between making a sale and receiving payment can put pressure on payroll, operations, and business runway.Elaine also explains how founders can use forecasting, AI, and the right financial leadership to make better decisions, avoid expensive surprises, and build a stronger financial foundation for growth.In this episode, you'll learn:Why revenue does not always translate into available cashHow payment delays can create dangerous cash-flow gapsWhy founders should model when money comes in—not just when sales are madeHow to build and maintain a practical 13-week cash forecastWhy short-term forecasts should be more detailed than longer-term projectionsThe key financial numbers founders should understand, including revenue, payroll, operating expenses, margins, and profitabilityHow AI can support forecasting and why human review is still essentialWhy founders should compare forecasts against actual results and investigate major variancesThe difference between cash-basis accounting and accrual accounting under GAAPWhy businesses should consider their long-term goals when choosing an accounting methodHow to determine whether your company needs a fractional, project-based, or full-time CFOThe difference between an advisory fractional CFO and a more embedded financial leaderHow to choose a CFO based on your company's current needs and stage of growthWhy putting numbers behind your intuition can lead to better business decisionsKey takeawayA strong sale is not the same as strong cash flow.Founders need visibility into when cash will arrive, when expenses must be paid, and how much runway remains. A regularly updated cash forecast—combined with sound financial leadership—can help business owners make smarter decisions before a cash shortage becomes an emergency.About Elaine BogartElaine Bogart is a fractional CFO who works with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams across digital media, technology, creative agencies, professional services, and other industries.

Join my Substack: https://bretttrainor.substack.com/Episode Overview:Janet Tanguay got spitballed by her own colleagues in a corporate training for going off script. She lasted four days in her next job. Now she helps people build the life they actually want, and she has the most practical approach to it I've come across.Janet Tanguay is a serial entrepreneur who has run a record label and an art business, and now runs Hammock Way of Life, helping people and companies get clear on what they actually want through vision boarding. She's the author of Hammock Way of Life: Leaping Toward Joy, part memoir and part business book, available in print and audio.GUEST LINKShttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jazzyjan/https://hammockwayoflife.com/In this episode:The spitball training, and the ten years she stayed anywayFour days in banking and the sweater vest that ended itThe boss who told her at a book signing that she almost made him quitWhy the questions stop after enough years insideFinding the work by accident at a chamber of commerceThe five whys, and why the fifth one is the real answerThree values as the filter for everything you say no toHow to actually build a board, and the words to keep off itWhat she does with people who have four ideas at onceVision boarding inside companies, and what it turns upTHE METHOD, ASSEMBLEDJanet laid this out across the whole conversation. Here it is in one place.1. Run the five whys. Start with one question. "Why do I want to leave?" Answer it, then ask why again, five times. The fifth answer is usually the real one.2. Pick three values. Start with a list of ten, cut to five, then three. These become your North Star. When something lands in front of you, you check it against the three, and that's how you say no to things that look good but aren't yours.3. Build the board around one center. Put the single most important thing in the middle. Cluster everything else around it. If you scatter it, your dreams come out scattered.4. Get specific. Numbers, timelines, how many people, how much money. "I want to be rich" isn't a goal, it's a mood.5. Watch your words. Nothing with a double meaning. Janet's examples: "nailed it," "crushed it," "a family affair." These things manifest in ways you didn't intend. She put a Buddha in the center of a board because she wanted more yoga and more stillness, and ended up sent to China to the largest Buddha temple in the country.6. If you have four ideas, make four boards. Then talk through each one out loud with somebody. The one where your eyes light up is the one. Janet says it happens every time.7. Take the free step. Not the big step. The free one. Go to the open house. Test drive the car. Send one email. She almost didn't test drive a car because she assumed she couldn't afford it, then drove it off the lot.8. For a business, use the business model canvas as the board. Revenue streams, resources, partners, value proposition. Same exercise, different frame.Questions or guest ideas? bt@bretttrainor.comTIMESTAMPSEstimated from the transcript.

Preston Alexander, writer of The Healthcare Breakdown, calls it management by bank account. In this conversation with Dr. Heather Signorelli, he explains why it keeps good practices one slow month away from the line of credit. Cash timing is the hidden problem. A practice that opens on February 2 should not expect meaningful insurance payments until April or May. Credentialing and billing setup take time, even for experienced teams. Practices that never planned for those months often spend years operating from behind. Revenue and expenses are one conversation. Billing metrics and the expense side usually live in separate places. Preston's team looks at CPT-level profitability, overhead allocation, and expense timing month by month so owners see the whole picture. Stable is not the same as healthy. Heather describes practices where billing is finally dialed in and payroll is still tight, usually because compensation was set before the revenue was forecast. Options include a smaller base with a bonus on what is left. The second location trap. A new address creates billing issues even under the same TIN, so Preston plans for about six months of near-zero revenue. Market fit matters just as much: referral patterns, the dominant health system, and payer mix. Heather adds that a drop from $175 to $140 revenue per visit changes what volume you need and what you can afford to spend. Three actions this week: • Pull your last 12 months of financials and ask why each line that grew went up • Ask one vendor you have paid on time for years for longer payment terms • Block one hour a week to review revenue and expenses side by side 

If your business is making decent revenue but you still feel like there's never enough money in the bank, you need to understand what's actually happening to your cash. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm kicking off a new financial series designed to make intimidating money terms actually useful for service-based entrepreneurs and solopreneurs. We're breaking down cash flow, cash management, and profit strategy in normal-people language so you can understand how they affect your business growth, owner pay, investments, and profitability. After 9 years of experience running my consulting business, I've become increasingly focused on the intersection between financial strategy and business strategy because you cannot separate the two. You can have an incredible pricing strategy, lead generation system, and sales process, but if you don't understand when cash enters your business, where it goes, and how much you actually keep, you can still struggle financially. These aren't terms only your bookkeeper needs to understand. As CEO, you need to understand them too.What You'll Learn:What cash flow actually means and why revenue doesn't equal cash in the bankHow the timing of money coming in and going out can create cash flow problemsWhat cash management means and how to give every dollar entering your business a jobHow cash reserves can help you prepare for taxes, annual expenses, owner pay, and future obligationsWhat profit strategy looks like for a service-based businessHow cash flow, cash management, and profit strategy work together to create a financially stronger businessEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: A new financial terms series for solopreneurs[02:00] Cash flow: What's coming in, what's going out, and when[03:30] Why timing can create cash flow problems even in a profitable business[05:00] Mapping your incoming and outgoing cash[07:00] Cash management: Money hit your bank account, now what?[08:15] Why a $5,000 pay-in-full isn't automatically $5,000 available to spend[09:30] Using cash reserves for annual expenses and future obligations[11:00] Profit strategy: How to intentionally keep more of your money[13:00] Pricing, offers, capacity, expenses, and profitability[14:00] How cash flow, cash management, and profit strategy work together[15:30] Why successful businesses can still fail because of cash problems[17:30] Action steps: Audit the next 30 to 60 days of cash[19:00] The difference between bookkeeping and managing your cash[20:45] Wrap-up: Find the financial gap in your businessKey Takeaways:Cash Flow Is Simply Money In and Money OutLet's make cash flow significantly less intimidating.Cash flow is simply when money comes into your business and when money leaves your business.That's it.The timing matters because revenue doesn't necessarily mean cash is sitting in your bank account.Maybe most of your client payments hit your account after the 15th, but most of your software, subscriptions, and other expenses come out around the first.You could have a profitable business on paper and still feel constantly tight on cash because your money is leaving before your next wave of money arrives.That's a cash flow problem.Stop Looking at Revenue Booked and Start Looking at Cash in the BankOne of the simplest exercises you can do is map when your money actually arrives.Not when the invoice goes out.Not the total value of the contract.Not the revenue you've booked.When does the deposit actually hit your bank account?If you send an invoice on the first but your client normally pays around the fifth and the money doesn't reach your bank until the seventh, use the seventh when looking at your cash flow.The same applies to payment plans.If someone signs a $5,000 contract but they're paying you over six months, you don't have $5,000 in cash available today.Understanding the difference between booked revenue and actual cash helps you make significantly better financial decisions.Cash Management Answers: Now What?Once the cash hits your bank account, cash management answers the next question:Now what?Where does the money need to go?Some may need to become owner pay.Some may need to go toward taxes.Some might go toward debt.Some may need to sit in a cash reserve.And some may need to remain available for future expenses.For example, if a client pays $5,000 upfront for a six-month project, you may need to reserve some of that money because you're going to continue delivering the work for months without another payment coming in.The fact that $5,000 hit your bank account doesn't automatically mean you have $5,000 available to spend.Cash Reserves Help You Plan for Expenses Before They Become ProblemsI have annual software expenses that renew around the same time because I purchased several things during Black Friday.Those expenses aren't surprises.They happen every year.So I have a cash reserve specifically for annual renewals.That's cash management.Instead of seeing a larger bank balance and deciding I can give myself a bonus or make another investment, I already know some of that money has a future job.You can do the same thing for taxes, annual expenses, owner pay, future investments, debt payments, or other known obligations.The goal is to know what the money sitting in your account is actually there to do.Profit Strategy Is About Intentionally Keeping MoreProfit strategy is my baby.This is where we ask:How do we intentionally create a more profitable business?Maybe your pricing strategy needs to change because your margins are too low.Maybe your direct costs have increased.Maybe your offer requires too many delivery hours.Maybe you need a more scalable offer.Maybe you can delegate certain tasks and increase your capacity.Maybe unnecessary expenses need to go.Revenue tells you how much you're selling.Profit tells you how well the business is actually working for you.Inside my Focused Visionary Framework, we work on Pricing, Pipeline, and Sales because those three pillars help you generate revenue. Profit strategy asks what needs to happen so that more of that revenue actually stays in the business.These Three Financial Strategies Work TogetherCash flow, cash management, and profit strategy aren't three separate conversations.They work together.Cash flow: When is money moving into and out of the business?Cash management: Where should the money go once you have it?Profit strategy: How can we create more money to keep?A stronger profit strategy gives you more money to manage.Better cash management helps you navigate the timing of your cash flow.Understanding your cash flow helps you avoid situations where you continually rely on credit cards or debt simply because money leaves the business before the next deposits arrive.This is the intersection between business strategy and financial strategy that I want more solopreneurs to understand.Good Revenue Doesn't Protect You From Bad Cash ManagementYou can have a successful business and still run into serious financial problems.I've spoken with business owners who made money but didn't understand how to manage what was coming in. The money arrived. They spent it. More expenses came up. The cash wasn't available, so they relied on debt.Then more money came in and the cycle started over.That's why these aren't just nice-to-know financial terms.They're need-to-know business concepts.You don't need to become an accountant or CFO. But as CEO, you need enough financial understanding to recognize what's happening inside your own business.Business strategy can only take you so far if the financial strategy on the other side isn't working.Start With the Next 30 to 60 DaysYou don't need a complicated spreadsheet to start understanding your cash.Look at the next 30 to 60 days.First, identify exactly when cash is expected to hit your bank account.Then identify when money is scheduled to leave.Next, decide what jobs your incoming cash needs to have.Does it need to pay you?Does some need to go toward taxes?Do you need cash reserves for future expenses?Do you have annual renewals or other costs coming up?Then look at what's actually left after everything is paid.If there's a gap, that's information.Now you can start figuring out how to fill it through better cash management, stronger profitability, different timing, or another strategic change.Understanding Your Money Helps You Make Better CEO DecisionsA bookkeeper can provide financial reports and categorize what has already happened.But you still need to understand what those numbers mean for the decisions you're making next.Can you afford the investment?Can you pay yourself more?Why does the business generate good revenue but constantly feel tight on cash?Are your offers actually profitable?Where is your money going?This is why I'm bringing more financial strategy conversations to the podcast.You don't need to become a financial expert.But you do need to understand your money well enough to make informed decisions about your service-based...

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. boosted its networking revenue forecast and announced a $1.2 billion order from cloud company Vultr, giving fresh signals that it’s benefiting from the AI build-out.The company, which expanded its networking business by acquiring Juniper Networks last year, now expects that segment to range from the high teens to the low 20s in percentage sales growth during fiscal 2027. The company also gave a longer-range sales outlook in the high teens, with an operating margin target of as much as the high 20s.For more, Bloomberg Businessweek Daily spoke with Marie Myers, Chief Financial Officer at HPE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you want to double your revenue, does part of you immediately start calculating how much more you're going to have to do? More clients. More calls. More content. More delivery. Maybe another team member. And suddenly the idea of making twice as much money sounds a lot like doing twice as much work. No wonder part of you is resisting the next level. Because if your current business already has you at capacity, doubling everything you're currently doing isn't growth. It's a recipe for exhaustion. In this episode, we're looking at what actually needs to change when you want to increase your revenue without increasing your workload at the same rate.

Two hours of waiting on a cleanup contractor can turn a “good call” into a revenue-killer. We sit down with Perry Beatty of Hazmat Responder Network and Logos Incorporated to talk about the real bottleneck many towing and recovery companies face: you respond on time, but you cannot move the truck or clear the lane because fuel is leaking, cargo is compromised, or storm drains are impacted.Perry walks us through how he went from old-school towing and heavy recovery to building a compliant hazmat spill response operation by getting OSHA-based HAZWOPER training and matching the right equipment to what actually happens on scene. We dig into how EPA expectations show up at crashes, why response-time contracts make delays so painful, and how talking directly with fleet safety directors can turn spill response into an instant add-on service for existing towing clients.We also get into the practical side: containment and flow control for storm drains, transfer pumps, grounding and bonding, decontamination, and the after-action reports that close the loop when the scene is “clean” but the paperwork is not. Perry explains how Hazmat Responder Network training is built specifically for towers and recovery operators, tying together OSHA, EPA, and DOT requirements and adding cargo tank awareness for DOT-406 fuel haulers and DOT-407/412 chemical tanks with hands-on simulators.If you want faster clear times, better compliance, and a new profit center your competitors may be ignoring, hit play, then subscribe, share this with your team, and leave a review with the one skill you want your crew to master next.

Bango Plc. CEO Paul Larbey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strong first-half results, highlighting continued momentum in its rapidly growing subscriptions business and reaffirming that trading remains in line with full-year market expectations. Larbey said growth in Bango's subscriptions segment continued through the first six months of 2026 and has carried into the second half of the year, supported by increasing adoption of the company's Digital Vending Machine (DVM) platform. The platform enables telecom operators and other businesses to package and sell multiple subscription services—including streaming, entertainment and digital content offerings—through a single bundled customer experience. The company secured eight new DVM customers during the first half of the year, with six already signed under contract. Larbey noted that customer demand remains strong, supported by a healthy sales pipeline despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Bango also continues to execute a strategic restructuring of its lower-margin payments business. The company is streamlining certain payment routes, a process that is running ahead of schedule and is expected to be completed before year-end. While the rationalization may reduce reported revenue by a low single-digit percentage, management expects little impact on profitability and believes it will improve the overall quality and margin profile of the business. For the six months ended June 30, Bango reported revenue of $25.9 million, a 3% increase from the same period last year. The growth was driven primarily by the subscriptions division, where revenue climbed 13% to $12.3 million. Payments revenue declined 5% to $13.6 million as the company continued its planned restructuring of the lower quality revenue routes. Profitability improved significantly across the business. Adjusted EBITDA increased 34% year-over-year to $9 million, with the subscriptions segment playing a leading role. EBITDA from subscriptions more than tripled to $3.2 million, underscoring the growing scalability and operating leverage of the platform. One of the most notable achievements during the period was the company's turnaround in cash generation. Cash EBITDA improved from a loss of $0.7 million in the prior-year period to a positive $3.7 million, surpassing the total cash EBITDA generated during all of 2025 in just the first six months of 2026. Recurring revenue metrics also continued to strengthen. Annual recurring revenue (ARR), which measures the annualized value of contracted subscription income, rose 31% to $20.4 million. Net revenue retention improved to 119% from 108%, indicating that existing customers are spending more over time and expanding their use of Bango's platform. #proactiveinvestors #bangoplc #aim #bgo #otcqx #bgopf #DigitalVendingMachine #Subscriptions #Telecom #StreamingServices #SaaS #RecurringRevenue #ARR #Fintech #DigitalCommerce #TechnologyStocks #GrowthStocks #BusinessTechnology #SteveDarling

Thinking about private equity? Don't wait until you're burned out and ready to hand over the keys. A partner may want you involved for years after the deal.  I sit down with Andrew Goldfein of Alpha Aesthetics Partners to talk about what makes a practice partner-ready, what buyers look at, and why expanding just to get bigger can hurt your numbers. Another Location Doesn't Automatically Add Value  That second location might grow revenue while draining profit. Before signing another lease, look at your margins, team retention, and whether the first practice can run without you constantly stepping in.  Know Your Numbers Before You Take the Meeting  A potential partner needs more than a healthy top-line revenue number. Get clear on:  Revenue and margins by service and location  Memberships and recurring revenue  Device utilization and profitability  Provider retention and operating costs  Your P&L should show what's working and where growth is costing you.  (00:07:36) Knowing when to expand or exit (00:12:03) Starting succession planning early (00:15:34) Finding a partner who fits (00:18:30) Understanding the transaction (00:21:00) Stabilizing revenue and retention  Don't Sign Away What Patients Come For  Alpha describes a partnership model that keeps local branding and clinical autonomy while adding business support. But don't assume every deal works that way. Ask what happens to your team, role, and equity. Make sure the actual agreement reflects what you're promised.  Give Yourself Options Before You Need an Exit  Whether you sell, partner, or keep growing independently, clean financials and strong retention put you in a better position.   Start planning while you still have time to improve your medspa. Waiting until you're desperate to leave can limit your choices.  About Andrew Goldfein:  As the head of New Partnerships and M&A at Alpha Aesthetics Partners, the premier platform partnering with the nation's best aesthetics practices, Andrew has spoken with thousands of owners across the country at all stages of growth.  Through its 37 partner locations, Alpha has built a community of some of the brightest clinical and business minds in aesthetics who are all now aligned to help each other through shared ownership in Alpha.

Somewhere in your donor file, there's a group of people that's been labeled “mail-only.” Nobody tested it, so it just became the rule.In this episode, I explain why that assumption costs you revenue, especially going into year-end. I share what happened when one of my club clients added email to an established direct mail program. Donors weren't annoyed, and more gifts came in than mail alone could have produced. I also walk through the latest data from the 2026 M+R Benchmarks, Bloomerang's Giving Signals report, and NextAfter. Email grew 16%, 69% of donors say email is their preferred channel, and nonprofits raise 30–40% of their online revenue in December alone. If your mail list and your email list barely talk to each other, this one is for you.Topics:Why mail and email get siloed by accident, and how that accident starts to feel like a rule nobody questionedThe real math: for every $1 nonprofits raise online, they raise $0.66 through direct mail. Both channels drive real revenue, and both are growingWhy "our audience doesn't respond to email" is almost never a channel problem; it's a content and cadence problemFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits like yours.

Multifamily Operational ResultsThe national multifamily market remained largely stable during the week ending September 20, with fundamentals continuing to track close to prior-year levels despite modest week-over-week declines. Average U.S. occupancy slipped 4 basis points to 94.48%, leaving it just 13 basis points below the same period last year. Leased occupancy fell 6 basis points to 96.86%, trailing year-ago levels by only 7 basis points. While occupancy briefly firmed in mid-September, that momentum has leveled off, leaving the market essentially unchanged from where it stood a month ago.Leasing activity also showed signs of stabilization. Properties averaged 2.2 new leases signed during the week, down just 0.1 from the prior week and 0.4 below the same period last year. Notably, that year-over-year gap has remained unchanged for two consecutive weeks, suggesting leasing demand has found its seasonal floor rather than continuing to weaken. Traffic levels were also unchanged, reinforcing the view that the market has transitioned into its typical fall leasing pattern.Rent performance presented a mixed picture. Net Effective Rent (NER) declined 0.2% week over week to $1,774 and was essentially flat compared to one month ago. However, annual NER growth for new leases improved to -1.0%, narrowing from -1.1% the prior week and marking the fourth consecutive week of year-over-year improvement. It's important to note that the improvement in the annual comparison was driven primarily by a more favorable comparison period rather than accelerating rent growth in the current week. While pricing conditions continue to improve gradually, the weekly data suggests momentum remains modest.Market-level performance continues to tell a much different story than the national average. Of the 28 markets reporting rent data, only 7 posted positive annual rent growth, down from 10 the prior week, while 21 markets remained negative. The spread between the strongest and weakest markets remained substantial at 17.4 percentage points, ranging from +11.1% in San Francisco to -6.3% in Tampa. Several markets, including Austin, Denver, Phoenix, Portland, Riverside, Sacramento, and Tucson, continue to report occupancy levels above last year despite declining rents. This pattern remains consistent with supply-driven pricing pressure rather than weakening demand, as new inventory continues to be absorbed across many Sun Belt markets.Revenue performance closely mirrored rent trends. RevPAU declined 0.3% on the week to $1,676, while the year-over-year comparison remained unchanged at -1.2%. Revenue has largely followed rent movements throughout September, with pricing remaining the primary driver of improvement or weakness.Bottom Line: September ended with a multifamily market that appears balanced but not particularly dynamic. Occupancy remains within striking distance of last year's levels, leasing demand has stabilized at a typical fall pace, and annual rent comparisons have improved for four consecutive weeks. However, the underlying details are less robust than the headline numbers suggest. Weekly rent growth turned negative, the number of markets posting positive rent growth declined, and much of the improvement in annual comparisons is being driven by easier year-over-year benchmarks rather than accelerating fundamentals.The key question heading into October is whether pricing can begin generating sustained momentum on its own, or whether the recent improvement in annual rent and revenue metrics fades as comparison periods become less favorable.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

Nate Sokolić started and sold companies in college, spent three years in executive search at Russell Reynolds, then led the firm's AI strategy, where he brought Findem in and rolled it out globally. He now works at Findem, helping HR leaders and talent teams adopt AI. Shane Driggers has spent close to 30 years in human resources, starting in Bay Area startups during the dot-com boom and most recently serving as Chief Talent Officer at T-Mobile. He now advises growth-stage companies.Most companies are already using AI. Employees report that they feel more productive, and budgets for tools and tokens keep climbing. Yet very few leaders can point to the result in product innovation or revenue. Nate and Shane argue that the problem is rarely the technology. Companies are adding AI on top of workflows and org structures that were designed for a different era, and they are letting the tools set the strategy instead of starting with the problem they want to solve.In this episode, Jessica sits down with both of them to talk about what it takes to make AI deliver measurable outcomes, why the people function has one of the biggest opportunities in the business right now, and how recruiting is changing from searching keyword profiles to getting verified, finished work back from AI agents.In this conversation, Jessica, Nate and Shane discuss topics such as:◼️ Why "tech wags the tail of strategy" and how that derails AI programs◼️ Why employees feel more productive while the business sees no gain◼️ How to redesign work from a blank page instead of rebuilding the past◼️ Why AI is creating a new wave of tech debt inside large companies◼️ How to decide which work should be human-led and which should be AI-led◼️ Why HR leaders must be human thinkers, business thinkers and systems thinkers at once◼️ How the CHRO role quietly became the company's chief AI strategist◼️ Why the best AI adoption starts small, proves ROI, then expands year by year◼️ How recruiters can search for real experience, like a CFO who has taken a company public◼️ Why shifting from SaaS tools to AI agents changes how companies buy and use software◼️ How Findem Studio produces market maps, succession plans and talent inflow/outflow reports◼️ Why every AI output needs to show its work before a leader can trust it◼️ Why transparency is the most valuable currency a leader has in an anxious workplaceThis episode is sponsored by Findem.

Mike Khouw breaks down the launch of MUYY, a single-option income ETF on Micron Technology (MU) that generates weekly income through covered call spreads. He notes an implied move of about $81 ahead of earnings, with JPMorgan expecting a beat and raise, and Micron trading under 7x forward earnings with revenue up 10x since 2023 and options volume rivaling Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA). He also weighs AI demand sustainability and gross margins near 80% that could draw competition in 18 to 24 months.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Morningstar's Jaime Katz says Carnival's (CCL) record Q3 results show cruising demand holding up despite broader discretionary spending concerns.

You finally get the marketing to work, then the inbox becomes a full-time job. More inquiries, higher fees, fewer people on your caseload, and your best hours disappearing into emails from people who were never going to book.In this replay episode, I'm walking you through marketing for therapists for when you're done guessing: a defined strategy I understand well enough to turn up or ease off, and a fast way to sort who is genuinely right for your practice.Here's the thing: you can delegate this, and you probably should. Someone else can screen for you, and it really spares your energy so you can focus on the work that only you can do. You don't have to see more clients, work long hours, or cross your boundaries. Tune in!Topics covered on How to Double Your Practice Revenue Without Adding More Clients:Why a good reputation, a long career, and a full caseload stop carrying you at the income ceilingWhat a defined marketing strategy looks like in practice, and how to tell when to turn it up or ease offWhy a flood of inquiries from people who are not a fit is a delegation problem rather than a marketing failureQualifying on your own inquiry form, and the trade-off in every barrier you addWhy delegating the inbox actually good, and how to set it up so you still see what mattersWhat a defined marketing strategy actually looks like, and how you know which part to adjust when it slows downResources from this episode:Liberated Business, my signature group coaching program for therapists who want to build a multi-six-figure private practiceConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachRelated episodes:Marketing for Established Therapists: From Getting Found to Getting Known [Ep 173]: building visibility when reputation alone stops being enoughThe Private Practice Marketing Strategy I'd Use to Scale to Multi-6 Figures From Scratch [Ep 162]: the strategy behind consistent income instead of random good monthsQuote:“You need a marketing system that works when you need it, lets you relax when you want to, and brings you the right kind of clients." - Felicia

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, I sit down with Doug Davidoff to break down how high-growth companies build predictable revenue systems through better decisions and disciplined execution. If you want a more strategic approach to RevOps, sales leadership, go-to-market strategy, and AI in sales, this conversation gives you a practical framework you can apply in the next 90 days. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1.  Why "sounds good" advice stalls growth - Doug explains why advice that feels exciting but lacks market validation often leads teams in the wrong direction. - Real growth comes from testing ideas in the market, learning from customer behavior, and adjusting based on actual feedback. - The fastest-growing companies don't assume certainty. They build around experimentation. 2. The revenue acceleration framework in action - Doug shares the core principle of hypothesis-driven growth: make a decision, test it, measure the result, and refine. - He makes the case that the companies that learn the fastest often build the most sustainable competitive advantage. - A strong revenue system is built through continuous feedback loops between strategy and execution. 3. The three zones of execution - Zone 1 focuses on the next 90 days and the day-to-day performance required to run the business. - Zone 2, the enablement zone, is where companies operationalize change and prepare for future growth. - Zone 3 is the transformation zone, where leaders define the long-term vision and direction of the company. - Doug explains that most teams have plenty of ambition. Where they struggle is skipping the structure that connects today's work to tomorrow's outcomes. 4.  Process, discipline, and predictable growth - Successful organizations rely on routines and review cycles to drive results instead of counting on heroic effort. - Doug highlights the importance of focusing on inputs alongside outputs to create more predictable sales and revenue performance. - He pushes leaders to cut the noise and focus on the two or three initiatives that matter most. 5. AI, sales systems, and staying strategic - Doug shares a balanced perspective on AI in revenue operations, arguing that most companies are still in the early stages. - AI can accelerate execution, but only when the underlying process and data are already clear. - The real advantage comes from using AI to support better thinking. 6.  Lessons from sports for sales and leadership - Drawing from his experience coaching college baseball, Doug explains how process drives performance in both sports and business. - Just like hitters need a repeatable swing path, sales teams need a repeatable path that increases the probability of success. - Great leaders stay focused on fundamentals and steady improvement over time.

Former Washington Governor Christine Gregoire released her Challenge Seattle report this week with an unambiguous verdict: the Puget Sound region has lost nearly 7,000 jobs and surrendered its competitive edge to other metros. Starbucks is building a $100 million Nashville campus. Amazon is quietly exiting South Lake Union. The warning signs are no longer subtle — they're on every balance sheet across King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties.Sean's read: this is the entirely predictable outcome of a Democrat supermajority that spent decades choosing ideology over economic competitiveness. Regulatory overload, a hostile business climate, and a reflexive tax appetite didn't happen by accident — they were legislated into place, one progressive priority at a time. Now that the data is undeniable, regional leaders are holding summits and launching partnerships. Meanwhile, Katie Wilson and the progressive revenue caucus are already eyeing the next hike.A statewide millionaire tax is headed to a ballot repeal vote. If it survives, Sean argues it's game over for Washington's remaining advantages. Venture capital is retreating, restaurant permitting is a bureaucratic nightmare, and Microsoft has publicly warned about payroll tax exposure. Bellevue is quietly capturing the business Seattle keeps pushing away — but that math has a ceiling too.CHAPTERS0:00 Former Gov.

In this episode of What the Fixed Ops?!, hosts Russell Hill and Charity Dunning welcome Gary Sillman, agent owner of Global F&I Solutions, for a wide-ranging conversation about breaking down dealership silos, connecting sales and service, and uncovering new revenue opportunities inside the service drive.Gary explains why dealerships can no longer afford to operate sales, service, parts, and F&I as separate departments. With customers keeping vehicles longer and increasingly interacting with dealerships digitally, the service lane has become one of the biggest opportunities to strengthen customer relationships, acquire used vehicles, offer protection products, and create a natural path back to sales.The conversation explores how dealerships can turn every service visit into a more complete customer experience. Gary discusses using vehicle inspections, appraisals, service contract options, connected CRM systems, and better communication to give customers more choices while helping departments work together instead of allowing valuable opportunities to fall through the cracks.We talk about:Why dealership silos need to disappearTurning the service lane into a vehicle acquisition opportunityConnecting sales, service, parts, and F&IOffering F&I products beyond the initial vehicle purchaseCreating sales funnels from existing service customersUsing inspections and appraisals to give customers more optionsWhy connected CRM systems matterHow outdated dealership processes create missed opportunitiesWhy technology and AI can't replace strong leadershipUsing social media to humanize your dealershipGary also shares why dealerships need to rethink processes that may have worked five or ten years ago but no longer fit today's customer journey. Rather than adding another piece of technology to an already fragmented operation, he encourages dealers to map out their processes, identify where customers and information are falling through the cracks, and build a more connected operating system.Whether you're a dealer principal, general manager, fixed ops director, service manager, F&I professional, advisor, or automotive leader, this episode offers practical insights into creating a more connected dealership, generating additional opportunities from the service drive, and building stronger relationships with customers.BE THE 1ST TO KNOW.

Jowell, del legendario dúo Jowell & Randy, se sienta junto a Carlos Feliciano de CAF Investments para hablar sin filtros sobre algo que pocas veces vemos detrás de un artista: el dinero.Desde su primer contrato de $1,000, cobrar apenas cientos por show y luego llegar a casa con más de $20,000 en efectivo en un fin de semana, hasta tocar millones de dólares y admitir que gran parte de ese dinero se fue por falta de educación financiera.Jowell cuenta cómo llegó a ahorrar sus primeros $100,000 y los perdió, qué aprendió de Wisin y Tito El Bambino, cómo organiza su dinero hoy, inversiones, retiro, impuestos, cuánto cuesta mantener “la película” de un artista y por qué un concierto sold out no necesariamente significa ganancias.También hablamos de los 90 proms de Jowell & Randy en 30 días, San Juan Urbano, su trabajo con jóvenes, su fundación y el futuro de los Mets de Guaynabo.
