#795 Most entrepreneurs don't realize that financial structure — not more revenue — is the key to unlocking real freedom. In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, host Brien Gearin and Bobby Hoyt go deeper into how Profit First can transform not just your business finances, but your personal finances and mindset as well. Bobby shares practical examples of using multiple accounts to create clarity, reduce stress, and confidently cover big expenses — from taxes to mortgages to vacations — without guilt or guesswork. They also discuss the shift from scarcity to abundance that comes from truly understanding your numbers, the importance of having the right financial experts on your team, and why bookkeeping and financial education are critical skills for long-term success. Whether you're scaling your business or just getting started, this episode highlights how structure, mentorship, and financial clarity unlock both growth and freedom! What we discuss with Bobby: + Profit First beyond business + Using multiple bank accounts strategically + Eliminating tax-time surprises + Creating financial peace of mind + Applying Profit First to personal finances + Scarcity vs. abundance mindset shift + Rewarding yourself responsibly + Importance of financial mentorship + Why knowing your numbers matters + Bookkeeping as a growth lever Thank you, Bobby!

Every tabletop party eventually meets the same terrifying monster: Not a dragon. Not a lich. Not even a gelatinous cube. No — it's the moment the GM says: "Okay… what do you say to the Duke?" Suddenly the barbarian who decapitated three ogres can't order soup, the bard becomes a hostage negotiator, and someone is Googling "how to Persuasion check in real life." This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast dives headfirst into the chaotic intersection of roleplay, mechanics, and social awkwardness — breaking down how social skills in TTRPGs, navigating complex social encounters, and roleplaying character interactions can turn conversations into some of the most memorable moments at the table. Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew explores the nuanced world of social skills in tabletop roleplaying games, unpacking how conversation, persuasion, deception, and negotiation function as core gameplay pillars alongside combat and exploration. The discussion centers on the challenge of translating real-world communication into structured mechanics — and how systems like D&D social interaction checks, Pathfinder diplomacy mechanics, and broader TTRPG roleplay frameworks attempt to balance player performance with character capability. The hosts examine how navigating complex social interactions in TTRPGs often requires collaboration between players and Game Masters. They discuss the importance of establishing expectations around roleplay depth, whether tables prioritize immersive acting or streamlined dice-driven resolution. Through examples ranging from tense political intrigue to comedic tavern banter, the episode highlights how roleplaying character personality traits, leveraging skill proficiencies, and creative problem-solving in narrative encounters can shape outcomes without drawing a weapon. Attention is also given to GM facilitation strategies, including setting clear stakes for social encounters, rewarding clever dialogue, and avoiding binary success/failure outcomes. The conversation underscores how layered NPC motivations, faction dynamics, and evolving story consequences elevate social encounter design for Game Masters beyond simple skill checks into meaningful storytelling tools. Ultimately, the episode frames social play as a vital storytelling engine — encouraging players to embrace vulnerability, experimentation, and collaborative narrative building. Whether negotiating peace treaties, bluffing through palace intrigue, or convincing a dragon not to eat you, mastering tabletop roleplaying social mechanics expands the emotional and strategic scope of any campaign. Key Takeaways Social encounters are a core gameplay pillar alongside combat and exploration in modern TTRPG design Balancing player roleplay ability vs character skill stats is essential for fairness and immersion Clear expectations at Session Zero help define roleplay depth and mechanical reliance Dice rolls should support narrative outcomes — not replace meaningful interaction GMs can improve engagement by defining stakes, motivations, and consequences for NPCs Layered social encounters encourage creative problem-solving beyond combat solutions Rewarding clever dialogue and character-driven choices strengthens table investment Failure in social situations should create story complications, not dead ends Strong social play enhances campaign tone, character development, and group collaboration Mastering TTRPG communication and persuasion mechanics leads to richer storytelling moments Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Sam Miller looks under the hood at the rotation trade and positive signs for equities. The AI trade is changing: capex spend is still staggering, expected to reach $600B this year, but the market is no longer rewarding the spend as business models are called into question. He warns investors against trying to catch a falling knife, urging patience instead. Sam is cautious short-term on cyclicals, calling them overbought, even as he thinks rotation remains the theme of the year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this episode, Stacey Morgan and Rhee Gold kick off the new year by tackling a topic every dance studio owner and teacher knows too well: procrastination. As studios return to full swing and workloads ramp up, Stacey and Rhee explore why we put important tasks off — especially the big ones that feel overwhelming or uncertain. They unpack how pressure can sometimes spark creativity, but also how constant delay leads to unnecessary stress. Together, they share practical tools to help studio owners move forward with confidence, including: Using a brain dump to clear mental clutter Separating personal and business tasks Prioritising what truly matters Breaking large projects into manageable action steps Creating better file systems and organisation habits Rewarding progress to build momentum They also discuss how leadership styles, preparation habits, and different working personalities impact productivity — and why perfectionism, self-doubt, and decision fatigue often sit at the heart of procrastination. Whether you’re avoiding your timetable, recital order, marketing plan, or newsletter, this episode offers encouragement and realistic strategies to help you stop putting things off and start moving forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Physical therapy is having a moment — and not all of it is comfortable.In this episode, Jimmy McKay breaks down a growing debate around PT salary, burnout, career growth, and work ethic, sparked by posts from veteran physical therapist Rob Panariello.Rob argues that success in physical therapy comes from exceptional effort, clinical excellence, and personal responsibility — a framework that built many successful careers.But newer physical therapists are asking a different question: Does hard work still reliably convert into opportunity in today's healthcare system?This episode explores:Why PT salaries feel stagnantHow student loan debt changes career mathWhere hard work still compounds — and where it doesn'tWhy this isn't a generational fightAnd what needs to change to retain great cliniciansThis isn't a rant.It's a translation — between effort and incentives, experience and reality.

American moonshine originated over 300 years ago, when liquor makers rebelled against new taxes that threatened their livelihood. On this season of Discovery Channel's Moonshiners, history repeats itself as liquor prices skyrocket and trade wars cripple the legal market. Embracing their outlaw spirit and rebellious heritage, the moonshiners rise to the occasion and ramp up production to defy big business and seize the opportunity.As pressures spread beyond Appalachia, Canada sees a fresh demand for tariff-free liquor. With a bold, cross-border bootlegging operation, the likes of which has not been seen since Prohibition, longtime legal distiller Tim Smith crosses back to the outlaw side to chase a massive profit. Meanwhile, a close-call brush with the law leaves Mark and Digger hesitant to return to their rebellious ways. With the help of long-time bootlegger JB, they find out what it takes to rebuild their operation from the ground up. From fierce rivalries to relentless crackdowns, the moonshiners risk everything this season to keep their traditions alive, leading to explosive results.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined again by Dr. Ari Brown — board-certified pediatrician and author of the bestselling 411 series — for a conversation all about toddler talking and communication. You guys loved her last episode, and we're so excited to officially bring her on as a RECURRING GUEST once a month!! Dr. Ari breaks down what toddlers actually understand before they can talk (spoiler: a lot), what counts as a real “word,” and the core language milestones between 12–24 months. We get into receptive vs. expressive language, nonverbal communication, and the difference between “they don't understand me” and “they're choosing not to listen,” which… hits home. We also cover the big “is this normal?” questions — pointing and waving, only repeating you, not responding to their name, mixing languages — and when it's worth checking in with your pediatrician. Dr. Ari explains why early intervention leads to the best outcomes, and gives simple tools parents can use at home (talk time, books, songs, naming emotions, and turning off our own screens). And because communication and behavior are so connected, we talk through the toddler frustration cycle — the pointing, the grunting, the meltdowns, the boneless moments — and how to help kids feel seen and understood even before they have the words. We'll go deeper on discipline NEXT MONTH, but this episode gives the foundation every parent needs to understand what's happening in that little toddler brain!!

Ep. 79 As Child Abuse Detective Kristen King says in this episode, “If you haven't cried in child abuse, you probably haven't been there long enough or you're lying.” In the years I've interviewed law enforcement, officers have always said that incidents with kids are the hardest. I wanted to shine a light on those that handle these cases on a daily basis. Kristen has been with Dallas PD for 12 years. We review her career and talk about her not so predictable path to choosing law enforcement, some memorable calls from patrol and making the move to Child Abuse, something she said she knew she wanted to do during training. As she says, when it comes to crimes involving children – children are always going to be the victims, and she wants to help give them a voice. She cites the hard work of a multidisciplinary team of experts, agencies and organizations that make this possible. Kristen explains what constitutes child abuse, the calls she has responded to and the cases she has handled as well as the importance of weighing all the variables when determining if an incident was a crime, an accident, or just bad parenting. Kristen shares the emotional toll this work can take and why wellness matters — a topic that connects to Ep. 77 in which I interviewed her husband, Dallas Police Officer Joe King, head of the department's wellness unit and host of the podcast ATO: Bridging the Divide.A big part of Kristen's passion is educating families on various topics to keep their kids safe. For example, why teaching “Stranger Danger” falls short because most assaults on children are committed by someone known to the child. She talks about what parents should teach their kids and how to recognize warning signs. We also cover Kristen's efforts to educate families on the importance of properly storing firearms in the home to prevent injuries and fatalities due to a child's access to unsecured weapons which can lead to the charge known as "Making a Firearm Accessible to a Child." And Kristen launched a campaign for which she helped raise funding called “Tiny Breaths Safe Sleep” about safe sleeping habits for babies – life saving tips that many parents may be unaware of.This is a powerful episode on the work being done every day to protect our children.Thank you, Kristen!You can find Kristen on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-king10671/Find me on my social or email me your thoughts:Instagram: on_being_a_police_officerFacebook: On Being a Police Officer Abby@Ellsworthproductions.comwww.onbeingapoliceofficer.com©Abby Ellsworth.

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses: What judges are looking for during the PSA Carjack Exercise. Safety precautions and training progressions for decoys, dogs, and trainers.  Keeping your dog focused in the right place.  Rewarding, capping, and knowing your dog's limits.   Key Takeaways: In training, you should be training in neutrality as you prepare for your PDC. Just because they have the skills in the exercise does not mean they are prepared for the neutrality between exercises.  If you are able to, get a vehicle to train with your PSA club on these Carjack Exercises. There are a lot of progressions you can do as you work up to the full exercise. It is the first impression of the aggression that's going to catch the judge's eye. Spend time focusing on transitions. Even in PDC, there are transitions you can work on. A good transition can help you be well prepared.    "One of the big mistakes I see is rushing into the vehicle without doing the proper neutrality to the vehicle when they're younger, not doing the proper neutrality to the vehicle, where they now have to experience the bite work, in addition to the unstable footing, and in addition to the enclosed area, the tight space of the vehicle. All of these things impinge on the dog's experience during that carjacking exercise." — Jerry Bradshaw    Episode References:  Josh Kirby at Kirby K9 / Demanet: www.k9irby.com More information on the Kynology Seminar with Dr. Stewart Hilliard: https://kynology.org/    Get Jerry's book Controlled Aggression on Amazon.com   Contact Jerry: Website: controlledaggressionpodcast.com Email: JBradshaw@TarheelCanine.com Tarheel Canine Training: www.tarheelcanine.com YouTube: tarheelcanine Twitter: @tarheelcanine Instagram: @tarheelk9 Facebook: TarheelCanineTraining Protection Sports Website: psak9-as.org Patreon: patreon.com/controlledaggression Slideshare: Tarheel Canine Calendly: https://calendly.com/tarheelcanine  Tarheel Canine Seminars: https://streetreadyk9.com/  Tarheel Canine Student Portal: https://tcstudentportal.com/    Sponsors:  ALM K9 Equipment: almk9equipment.com PSA & American Schutzhund: psak9-as.org Tarheel Canine: tarheelcanine.com The Drive Company: thedriveco.com  The Drive Company Instagram: instagram.com/thedrive.co  Dog Armour: dogarmour.com  Dog Armour Instagram: instagram.com/dogarmourpro  Rogue Arsenal: roguearsenal.com  Rogue Arsenal Instagram: instagram.com/rogue_arsenal_official    Train hard, train smart, be safe.     Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

The Book of Revelation provides us with a wondrous vision today.   There are loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever” [Ch.11 v.15].   Then the elders fall on their faces and worship saying, “We give thanks to you Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign.  The nations raged, but your wrath came and the time for the dead to be judged and for rewarding your servants the prophets and saints. And those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth” [v.17/18]What a day of incredible thanksgiving this will be.   We should see the present human celebrations surrounding the Christmas period for all its emptiness.  What are people giving thanks for today?  It is the passing ‘pleasure' of the moment!   The children enjoy themselves and we recall Paul's observation “When I was a child … I reasoned like a child. When I became a man I gave up childish ways.” [1 Cor. 13 v.11]. Paul also said, “remember … Jesus how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'” [Acts 20 v.35] – we must teach our children this principle.  Do any of the children in the world (or their parents) learn anything real about Jesus? It seems impossible to think so, but God knows. Wherever opportunity offers we should “speak a word in season” to help them to do so.  It is interesting that only twice in the Bible is there any mention of celebrating birthdays – and both were those of bad men! [Genesis 40 v.20 – Pharaoh] and [Matthew 12 v.6 – Herod, when John the Baptist lost his head].  The heaven inspired celebration to come will be wondrous, but until that time true believers celebrate not the birthday of Jesus, but his sacrifice and death in the way he appointed [Luke 22 v.15-20], believing in a wondrous climax to that celebration in the kingdom.This wondrous event, called “the marriage supper of the Lamb” is also mentioned in Revelation [19 v.6-9] “Blessed are those who are invited” to that celebration which is far beyond us to imagine!  Do you believe you are worthy of receiving an invitation?  No?  It will be only by his grace!  But who is worthy?  It is interesting that the Gk word for ‘worthy' is one of the words  which occur seven times in the book – but only its first occurrence (ch, 3 v.4) is one that indicates saints that are worthy of receiving a  blessing before God; the last (ch. 16 v.6) is about those unworthy. Once again, the broad and narrow ways – make sure you on the “rewarding” pathway of the “worthy” in 2021

In this Pocket Sized Pep Talk, you'll learn:Why top performers often struggle when transitioning into management roles.How “unconsciously competent” skills make it difficult to coach and lead others.The type of training that truly equips new managers to succeed — and why it must be applied, practiced, and refined with real-world scenarios.Rewarding performance with promotion only works when it's supported by the training required to lead; and the people being managed will thank you for it.

The communist never wants to help someone else because that’s simply not how they are wired. They always call it a melting pot but is it really? Rewarding their friends.

In this episode, I pick up where I left off on why socialism is a bad idea. I talk about how centralized control always leads to corruption, because there's nobody you should trust with that kind of power. I break down why socialism kills excellence by removing the incentives that push people to perform at their highest level. I also explain how rewarding victims over producers pulls everyone down instead of pushing people to rise.

Your sense of reality is influenced by how you view and interact with the world, Your frame of reference is impacted by how you feel and what you believe, When you lose it's a tragedy, while winning deserves a parade with banners unfurled, Happy Perception starts with seeing Balanced Growth as built-in, not something to achieve.   [full text below] Ep. 428 - Happy Perception We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Your sense of reality is influenced by how you view and interact with the world, Your frame of reference is impacted by how you feel and what you believe, When you lose it's a tragedy, while winning deserves a parade with banners unfurled, Happy Perception starts with seeing Balanced Growth as built-in, not something to achieve. Balance is there equalizing contrasts and managing every extreme, While Growth is about realizing better ways than were previously known, Seeing others as being on the same journey helps you look past how things may seem, Allowing you to consider points of view that may be different from your own. Being mindful and paying close attention is a great way to deepen your connections, Connections with others, with your senses, and with the world at large, Do you mindlessly wolf down your food? Is your focus split in all directions? Or are you able to be present, intentional and mindfully in charge? In charge of your actions, thoughts and, yes, even your moods? How do you see yourself? Do you ever spare yourself time to check-in and take stock? To be aware of your triggers, your prejudices and attitudes? Or do you just try to keep the world from knocking off your block? Happy Perception can also be about changing your point of view to take a closer look, To allow yourself to lean in and let your understanding of the world increase, Rewarding you with deeper appreciation for the second glance you finally took, And granting you greater ways to express gratitude and find peace. Haha Yowza

In this episode of Run the Numbers, CJ sits down with Michael Stanisz, Partner at Revenue Management Labs, the person companies call when their pricing model stops making sense. For decades, software pricing was predictable: sell more seats, add more margin. But with AI, every usage prompt has a real cost, and the old economics no longer hold. CJ and Michael dive into what happens when your product looks like software but behaves like infrastructure, how pricing power erodes as features become free, and why value-based pricing might not be as customer-friendly as it sounds. They also explore the chaos of real-world pricing: from Microsoft cloning your startup to measuring ROI when your product's impact is undeniable but hard to prove; all wrapped in sharp insights and a few “we still run this on DOS” war stories.—LINKS:Michael on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-stanisz-27418a28Revenue Management Labs: https://revenueml.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.com—RELATED EPISODES:“Anything new needs to have AI core to its offering”: Amy Butte, How Navan Is Redefining Finance OpsFrom Credit Karma to Notion: CFO Rama Katkar on Leading Finance Through Every Growth Stage—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:00) Preview and Intro(00:02:23) Sponsor – Rillet, Fidelity Private Shares, and Mercury(00:05:27) The new economics of AI pricing(00:07:51) When variable costs replace software margins(00:10:30) The fall of 80% SaaS margins(00:13:23) From premium feature to table stakes(00:15:07) Sponsor – RightRev, Tipalti, and Aleph(00:19:12) Spotting a feature before it becomes a commodity(00:23:31) The real cost of switching and why stickiness matters(00:27:46) The rise of AI white labeling(00:30:03) Outcome-based pricing — altruism or strategy?(00:34:22) Rewarding throughput and avoiding “tollbooth” pricing(00:36:29) Measuring usage and why telemetry matters(00:40:49) What makes a value exchange credible(00:44:14) Cost avoidance vs. revenue gain(00:46:02) The stages of pricing maturity(00:49:49) Why startups see what big companies can't(00:52:09) When hype meets hard costs in AI(00:55:17) When customers refuse to leave on-prem(01:03:29) Credits and Sign-Off—SPONSORS:Rillet is the AI-native ERP modern finance teams are switching to because it's faster, simpler, and 100% built for how teams operate today.

It's the season of gift giving, evaluating team performance, and bonuses, and for many business owners, that can bring up hard questions. Can I afford to give out bonuses this year? What if it's not as much as last year? How much is fair? And how do I reward my team without draining my cash or putting my business at risk? In this episode, reformed corporate CFO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc.'s Danielle Hayden walks you through a simple, repeatable framework to help you decide if, when, and how much to give your team in bonuses that's fair, financially sound, and aligned with your business's core values.  Key Takeaways:  Profitability Comes First: Only give bonuses when your business is profitable. A healthy, sustainable company is the best gift you can give your team. Protect Your Cash Flow: Separate accounts for operations, taxes, and savings (including bonuses) will help you plan ahead and avoid surprise shortfalls. Use Data, Not Emotion: Base your decisions on your financial reports and goals, not guilt, pressure, or last year's habits. Reward Performance with Purpose: Tie bonuses to performance and your company's core values, using consistent criteria your team understands. Timing Matters for Taxes: Be consistent year over year, and confirm with your accountant when it makes the most sense to issue bonuses based on your filing method. Topics Discussed: (00:00) Intro: What You'll Learn in the Episode (01:46) Step 1: Pool Your Business's Profitability – Is Your Business Profitable Enough for Bonuses (03:38) Step 2: Check Cash Reserves – Why Cash Savings and Planning Ahead Are Essential Before Paying Bonuses (06:39) Step 3: Set Your Bonus Pool – How to Calculate a Realistic Bonus Pool  (08:18) Step 4 & 5: Define Eligibility + Allocate Bonuses – How to Fairly Decide Who Qualifies and How Much to Award (11:03) Step 6: Decide on Timing – When to Pay Bonuses for the Best Tax Results and Long-Term Consistency (13:20) Outro: Kickstart's Team Bonus Worksheet and Resources + Like, Share and Subscribe!   Resources: KSA Tax Partners | https://ksataxpartners.com/   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://kickstartaccountinginc.com/book-a-call/    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

International leaders push a two-state solution, yet deep divisions remain. Hamas defies ceasefires, Israel rejects recognition, and outside forces fuel conflict. With leadership fractured and terrorism unresolved, lasting peace appears distant while global debate over security and legitimacy...

The only way you go from who you are today to who you want to be is through evidence.Most of us want to skip ahead. We think we can just decide to be someone new, leap across the ravine, and instantly become the person with the outcome we want. But the truth? No one leaps. They build a bridge — one tiny, consistent plank at a time.This episode dives into why identity isn't about “faking it till you make it,” and why it's completely normal — even warranted — to feel like you don't deserve the outcome yet. If you already fully owned the identity, you'd already have the result. Change isn't about forcing belief; it's about taking the steps that slowly prove to yourself who you are becoming.We'll unpack:Why your brain resists change and labels new identities as “lies”How to use James Clear's framework (make habits Obvious, Attractive, Easy, Rewarding) to build consistencyWhy integrity shows up most powerfully in failure, not successWhat radical personal responsibility looks like when the shame hits and you want to hideYour thoughts aren't facts. Feeling like a failure doesn't disqualify you — it's simply part of the process. You don't need to know exactly who you want to be yet; it's enough to know you don't want to stay stuck.Because becoming the person you want to be isn't about leaping. It's about building the bridge.If you're ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6

I'm joined by Ben Shapiro, a controversial figure who for many needs no introduction. Ben is a political commentator, author, and co-founder of The Daily Wire. He joins me to discuss his new book, Scavengers and Lions. We explore the central metaphor of the book and what it says about the moral choices facing our culture today. Ben lays out his argument about the rise of intellectual scavengers who feed on grievance and resentment, and contrasts them with the “lions,” those who embrace responsibility, reason, and moral clarity. We also talk about Donald Trump, wokeness, gun control, and birth rates. ------ Thank you to our sponsors: New episodes of The Isabel Brown Show can be viewed on DailyWire+ here: www.dailywire.com/show/the-isabel-brown-show Learn more about your ad choices.
