(June 16, 2026) In Orange County, six figure salaries now qualify as low income. The social security trust fund will run dry in 2032… what does that mean? California schools are emptying out. Experts say it’s going to get worse. Science suggests cringe-worthy dad jokes may serve an actual purpose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Story Engine Podcast, I sit down with Carolee Moore, an expert storyteller who helps corporate leaders and subject matter experts find their voice, get on the right podcasts, and turn their visibility into real business growth. What stood out to me most is how Carolee doesn't just focus on booking interviews—she helps people reconnect with their authentic voice after years of operating inside corporate expectations. We explore how storytelling, when done right, becomes the bridge between deep expertise and real influence. Carolee shares her journey from growing up in Jamaica surrounded by storytelling, to navigating corporate America, to building (and walking away from) a successful marketing agency that no longer aligned with her. We also dive into how podcast guesting can fast-track credibility in B2B spaces, why so many experts struggle with visibility despite their experience, and how finding your voice can literally "change the vote" in the rooms that matter most. If you've ever felt unseen, under-recognized, or stuck playing small—this conversation will show you a new path forward. 00:49 – From Jamaica to the U.S.: The Roots of a Storyteller 02:09 – Corporate Life, Structure, and Suppressed Creativity 03:30 – Building (and Closing) a Multi-Six-Figure Agency 04:24 – The Pivot: From Marketing to Podcast Guesting 05:31 – The Types of Experts She Works With 07:41 – Why Podcasting Works for High-Level Experts 09:00 – Turning Stories Into Credibility and Sales 11:14 – The Hidden Struggles of High-Achieving Experts 12:46 – Watching Less Experienced People Win (and Why It Hurts) 14:08 – The Real Transformation: Finding Your Authentic Voice 16:46 – Integrating Visibility With Sales and Business Strategy 17:23 – The Boardroom Moment That Changed Everything 19:00 – Speaking Up and Changing the Vote 20:58 – Learning to Own Your Voice 21:39 – Underpricing and Positioning Lessons as an Agency Owner 22:46 – A Major Win: Earning a Year's Salary in One Day 23:30 – Learning to Celebrate and Step Away 24:44 – The Story Reflection: From Silence to Impact

Earlier this year, I posted a question on Instagram asking Latinas making over $200K what they do — and the answers revealed something that most people in personal finance aren't willing to say out loud: you cannot build wealth on a median income when the cost of just existing has gone through the roof. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down why traditional money advice keeps failing us, what high earners actually have in common, and why your problem isn't discipline — it's your strategy.WE GET INTO:00:00 Introduction to Financial Realities02:42 Understanding Income Limitations05:58 The Path to High Earnings08:47 The Disconnect in Personal Finance11:53 The Rise of Latina Entrepreneurs14:48 Reevaluating Job Security and Income17:55 Strategies for Financial FreedomKEY TAKEAWAYS:Most people cannot build financial freedom on $65K/year — not because they're doing something wrong, but because the math literally doesn't work when cost of living is this high.High earners are either in high-level leadership or ownership. That's it.Jobs are tools, not automatic wealth-building vehicles. Your employer controls your ceiling.A paycheck is predictable. Entrepreneurship is scalable.The only difference between a job and a business is the middleman selling your skill set.Your income problem won't be solved by better budgeting — it requires a strategy shift.TAKE THE NEXT STEP:Download the FREE Dinero GuideRead my book, Financially Lit!Book a Call with JanneseThis episode of Yo Quiero Dinero was produced by Heart Centered Podcasting.

Queen, you've been giving wife-level loyalty on a girlfriend-level container — and it's time to name that pattern without shame. In this episode, I'm getting into something tricky but necessary: the gap between what you're giving in a relationship and what's actually been established. This isn't about weakness, desperation, or low self-esteem. It's a program — and once you can see it clearly, you get to choose something different. What You'll Learn Understand the difference between "wife work" and "girlfriend salary" — and why that gap deserves to be named Recognize the real cost of over-giving: your time, your self-trust, your standards, and the version of you with her own dreams Trace where this programming comes from — childhood, love songs, church messaging, and the women in our families we admired most Unpack the most dangerous belief hiding underneath it all: if he leaves, it's because you didn't give enough Learn why a man who only stays when you're over-giving wasn't staying — he was being comfortable Discover the most important question in the whole episode: are you giving from love, or from fear? Why It Matters We were taught that the ring was the reward — that if we gave enough, waited long enough, loved hard enough, it would all be worth it. But the reward was never the ring. It's respect, reciprocity, and a relationship where both people show up because they want to, not because one person has been auditioning for a position the other person never offered. You were never the problem. You were running a program that was never designed to serve you. Society designed it to serve everyone else — and now you get to choose something different. Take Action Before you give at wife level, define the container. Ask yourself: what's actually been established here? And what's driving this — love, or obligation? Then take the free Kages Self-Assessment and find out which program has been running your relationships:

In this episode, I'm joined by Max, co-founder of Superpower, a longevity and preventive health company based in San Francisco. Max shares his unconventional journey from a curious, entrepreneurial kid in Sydney to building one of health tech's most ambitious startups — all without a clinical background. He offers a refreshingly direct perspective on why clinicians are uniquely positioned to drive change in healthcare, why sunk cost is a trap, and why the best time to make your move is now. If you're a healthcare professional thinking about stepping into health tech, this episode will challenge the way you think about your career.Quotes:"Health professionals are some of the best placed to actually create change in health." - Max"Servicing a system allows you to impact maybe a few hundred or thousand people. Building a system ideally gets to the millions over time." - Max"The fastest path between A and Z is not to go through B, C, D — just do the thing." - Max"Being willing to be dumb is almost a prerequisite to being smart." - Max"If you're trying to do something in a new way, it's very hard to do that from the model of thinking that created the existing way." - MaxShow Notes:Why clinicians have an unfair advantage when building in health techHow to stop letting sunk cost hold you back from a career pivotThe difference between servicing the healthcare system and building itWhy the "one day I'll do this" mindset is keeping you stuckHow an outsider perspective can be the most powerful tool for reinventing healthcareLinks: https://www.matchday.health/ https://superpower.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxmarchione/

In this episode of the Independent Dealer Podcast, Jeff Watson and Luke Godwin sit down with Robyn and the team from Blytz — live from Caesars Palace at BHPH United 2026 in Las Vegas — for a candid conversation about what Blytz is building, why they dropped "Pay" from the name, and what the future of AI-powered collections actually looks like on the ground at a real dealership. Joined by Jenissa from Auto Liquidators, who's already running it in her operation, this one goes beyond the pitch and into the practical. What You'll Learn:Why Blytz dropped "Pay" from their name — and what Blytz Collect and Blytz Insights mean for how dealers manage collections from end to endHow one dealership is running an AI collections agent across 300 accounts and what they've learned about the exact times of day customers actually payWhy 85% of customers won't answer the phone — and how the call-plus-immediate-payment-link combo is outperforming everything else in the collections motionHow AI replaced a $55,000 salary not by firing anyone, but simply by not rehiring when a collector leftThe Blytz and Ituran GPS integration that automatically restores a customer's starter interrupt the moment a payment clears — even at midnightWhat Blytz Insights is building toward — queryable, dealer-specific data that answers your questions without forcing your business into a one-size-fits-all reportIf you're a buy here pay here or independent dealer trying to figure out how to collect smarter, staff leaner, and stop paying people to dial numbers nobody is going to answer, this conversation is required listening.

“There are three ways you’re going to get compensated from your business. One is W-2 Salary. Two is K-1 distributions. Three is other benefits.” – RJon Robins, author of Profit First for Lawyers How profitable is your law firm? The answer might be more complicated than what shows up on your P&L statement. In this third part of our seven-part financial literacy series, we revisit a topic from season one: Total Owner Benefits. A topic of such importance that it has an entire chapter devoted to it. Listen in as RJon takes a law firm owner through an exercise to calculate the true value they are receiving from their firm. Beyond the Bottom Line RJon poses a powerful question: Would you rather own Firm A (making $1M but working 70-hour weeks doing work you hate with no vacations) or Firm B (making $500K working 50 hours doing meaningful work with real time off?) Your banker might say Firm A is more profitable, but which would contribute to your family’s happiness more? The Real Math In the 2019 workshop, RJon shows how a business that appears to have a 20% profit margin actually delivers 38% in Total Owner Benefits when you account for all three components (W-2 Salary + K-1 distributions + Other benefits). The difference is dramatic and changes everything about how you evaluate your firm’s true profitability. Understanding Total Owner Benefits reveals the value your business is actually providing you with. Action Steps Follow along with your numbers during the exercise to discover your Total Owner Benefits Then ask yourself: What is my law firm actually giving back to my life? If you don’t like the answer, pick one small thing to change Next Time: Join us for Part 4 where RJon walks law firm owners through normalized salary calculations.

The headlines about China's economy often tell two contradictory stories at once: recovery and stagnation, consumer confidence and persistent caution, tech boom and structural drag. Making sense of what's actually happening requires someone who's tracking the data closely, week by week, from the ground up. Robert Wu does exactly that through Baiguan, a consultancy and popular newsletter that covers the Chinese economy, consumer trends, and business developments.In this episode, Robert gives us his unfiltered read on the state of China's economy in 2026. He breaks down two trends his recent newsletter highlighted: what's happening in the real estate market and whether salary recovery is real or overstated. He also assesses consumer sentiment and what it's actually showing up in spending behaviour across categories.Robert then takes us through a series of sector-specific spotlights: the auto market and whether robotaxis are genuinely scaling or still in hype territory; Pop Mart's trajectory and what it signals about Chinese consumer brands going global; DeepSeek's latest model and what it reveals about China's AI competitive position; and the food delivery war between Meituan and its challengers, and what that tells us about the state of China's consumer internet.He closes with the key variables that will shape the rest of the Chinese economy in 2026, and what international businesses should understand about China that isn't making it into the headlines. Discussion Points·       What Baiguan is, who Robert writes for, and what led him to cover the Chinese economy·       High-level read on the state of China's economy in 2026: recovery, stagnation, or something more complex·       Real estate market update: what the data is showing and whether the sector has turned a corner·       Salary recovery: how real it is, which segments are seeing it, and what it means for consumer spending·       Consumer sentiment assessment: how people are actually feeling and how it's showing up in spending patterns·       Auto market dynamics and the robotaxi question: genuine scaling or early-stage hype·       Pop Mart: bullish or bearish, and what its trajectory tells us about C-brand globalisation·       DeepSeek's new model and what it signals about China's AI competitive position relative to the West·       The food delivery war: who's winning, who's losing, and what it reveals about China's consumer internet·       Key variables to watch for the rest of 2026 and what international businesses are missing about China

How To Build a Capital-Efficient Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Investors look for capital-efficient businesses to invest in. Founders looking to raise funding should first consider building a capital-efficient startup. Here are some key steps to building a startup that is capital-efficient: Look for a business opportunity that generates good revenue from the customer. The customer will pay a high price for the product. This often comes from a good product-to-market fit. The business runs efficiently and doesn't need a great deal of money to provide the product or service. Businesses in this category are considered frugal and spend carefully. Salaries are kept low, which raises the value of the equity of the business. The startup is in a high-growth market segment generating organic growth. The startup is highly scalable and doesn't need a great deal of capital to grow. Capital-efficient businesses in the long run should do better because they don't have to raise capital as often. Investors should look for these drivers in potential startup investments. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

Mike Switzer interviews Carman Young, a certified financial planner with Abacus Planning Group in Columbia, SC.

In this special ‘Swapcast' episode, Pete and Julie are joined by fellow WrkDefined podcast hosts, Sean Luitjens and Paul Reiman of ‘Totally Rewarding Chats' for a lively conversation on total rewards, AI, work flexibility, and the changing expectations shaping the workforce. Recorded live from the annual World at Work Total Rewards event in San Antonio, the conversation starts with the energy of the conference itself, where AI has clearly moved from abstract hype to practical application. Sean and Paul unpack how total rewards, compensation, benefits, payroll, and HR are increasingly converging, and why practitioners need peer communities more than ever as they navigate sensitive workforce data, emerging tools, and rapidly changing employee expectations.   Pete leads the group through three timely workplace debates: the four-day workweek as a benefit and retention lever, the rise of employee resistance to company AI strategies, and Gen Z's desire for both career ambition and better work-life balance. The discussion gets practical, exploring why flexibility only works when trust, role design, and administration are aligned; why AI adoption fails when leaders frame it as headcount reduction instead of capacity expansion; and why younger workers may not be rejecting hard work as much as redefining the terms under which they are willing to give it.   Connect with Sean, Paul & Totally Rewarding Chats LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulreiman/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-luitjens/  ‘Totally Rewarding Chats': https://wrkdefined.com/podcast/totally-rewarding-chats Novo Insights: https://www.novoinsights.com/ Salary.com: https://www.salary.com/ Connect with the show: LinkedIn:  http://linkedin.com/company/hr-payroll-2-0 X: @HRPayroll2_0  X: @PeteTiliakos  X: @JulieFer_HR BlueSky: @hrpayroll2o.bsky.social YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HRPAYROLL2_0  WRKDefined Podcast Network: https://wrkdefined.com/podcast/hr-payroll-20  Thank you to our marquee sponsors for powering the HR & Payroll 2.0 podcast forward!  G-P ‘Globalization Partners': https://www.globalization-partners.com/  OneSource Virtual: https://hubs.ly/Q03YFNR90 Zoho: https://www.zoho.com/press.html Thank you to our ‘wizard behind the curtain' and show producer Ryan Kielma: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-kielma/

We'd love to hear from you. Send us fan mail!Most leaders measure engagement with an annual survey and call it done. Ian M. Watts has spent two and a half decades proving that approach wrong and building a methodology that creates the kind of loyalty money alone will never buy.In this episode, Ian joins Bernadette Boas to break down the real cost of employee disengagement,  and it is not a soft number. When fewer than 30% of your workforce is fully engaged, you are carrying a hidden expense equal to 18% of every disengaged employee's salary. For a company of 200 people, that arithmetic is brutal. But the more important question is why it keeps happening, and what leaders at every level can do about it right now.Ian's ACTS method — Aspirations, Calling, Transformation, and Support, is a practical framework designed to create deep reciprocity between leaders and their people. Not through perks or ping pong tables, but by treating employees as whole human beings with goals, dreams, and lives that extend beyond the office. This conversation delivers both the business case and the blueprint.What You Will Learn•       How to calculate what disengagement is costing your specific organization•       The four components of the ACTS method and how to apply them without budget•       Why high performers leave while still producing — and what signals to watch for•       The difference between buying compliance and earning commitment from your team•       How the 'Dream Manager' concept achieved 50% turnover reduction and how ACTS builds on it•       How to lead with heart-centered values even when the broader culture doesn't support it•       Why succession planning — not just retention — should be your ultimate leadership goalKey Quote: "Salary and benefits will bring people in. But you can't buy a hand — you have to win a heart." — Ian M.

Nick Saban went to Capitol Hill to speak out about the future of college football, NIL, the transfer portal, and the growing concerns around the current state of college athletics. On this edition of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker react to Saban's testimony and discuss whether college sports has moved too far toward a pay-for-play model. Has NIL lost its original purpose? Has the transfer portal become unrestricted free agency? Should college football have salary caps, transfer limits, stronger regulations, and a return to more regional rivalries? Mick and Jake break down why Saban believes college athletics needs structure before the sport changes forever. The conversation also turns to the college baseball tournament, where Alabama, Auburn, and Troy are making noise in the postseason. The guys discuss the impact of St. John's upsetting Florida State, what it means for Alabama Baseball's path forward, and why the future of Olympic sports could be in danger if football's revenue model continues to shift.

Affiliate marketing changed Sarah Thompson's life. What started as a search for passive income and financial freedom turned into an online business that helped her escape the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and leave her physical therapy career behind. Sarah did everything right. She worked full-time as a physical therapist. Her husband worked full-time too. They lived below their means, followed the budget, and tried to save every dollar they could. Yet they were still living paycheck to paycheck. Then Sarah heard a single idea that completely changed how she thought about money: "Rich people don't trade time for money." What started as a desperate attempt to create extra income turned into a journey that led her to her first $2.80 commission, a $1,000 commission that arrived while she was driving home from a fireworks show, and eventually enough income to leave her career in physical therapy behind. In this episode, Sarah shares the real story behind her transformation, including the mistakes, mindset shifts, and lessons she learned along the way. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why budgeting alone wasn't solving her financial problems • The mindset shift that changed everything • How she spent $2,500 on a course despite being terrified to do it • The embarrassing "dog brain training" offer she promoted before finding her niche • How she built an audience from scratch using simple content • Why most beginners stay stuck before they ever make their first sale • The 7-step affiliate marketing framework she teaches today • How she made her first commissions and eventually replaced her income • Why authenticity beats perfection online Whether you're trying to build a side hustle, create passive income, start an online business, or simply stop feeling stuck financially, Sarah's story is proof that sometimes the problem isn't spending too much money… It's not making enough.

Chuck Todd opens with what he calls the unmistakable arrival of a "YOLO caucus" in the Senate — a growing number of congressional Republicans who are simply done capitulating to Trump, evidenced by John Thune publicly declaring there's no need to "weaponize" the DNI position and by the broader sense that the non-Trump part of the GOP is openly preparing to move on. He argues Trump is doing everything possible to accelerate his own lame duck status: he's politicizing America's 250th anniversary in ways that genuinely alarm vulnerable Republicans, he failed to engage any of the former presidents in the 250th planning, and he's creating Marie Antoinette-style "let them eat cake" optics by celebrating himself at a moment of real economic pain for ordinary Americans. Trump's treatment of CNN's Kaitlan Collins was outrageous, his cranky behavior with the press is a tell that things aren't going well, and his decision to formally nominate Todd Blanche for Attorney General has essentially zero chance of confirmation — Blanche has burned his bridges in the Senate and the doomed January 6th weaponization fund was reportedly his idea in the first place. It's almost as if Trump is begging to put a neon "I'm a lame duck" sign on the White House. Chuck then turns to California, where ballots are still being counted at a pace that he says is actively eroding public trust in the democratic process itself — the state desperately needs to find a way to count faster — and notes that CA-06 was drawn as a safe Democratic seat but the top two finishers right now are both Republicans, while Spencer Pratt looks safer in the LA mayoral race than Steve Hilton does in the governor's race. He closes with a fascinating analysis of the Graham Platner situation in Maine, where Janet Mills' decision to leave her name on the ballot has created a Nikki Haley-style protest vote opportunity for nervous Democrats — Mills didn't bow out in disgrace so her floor is high, and if she pulls 25% or more in the primary, Chuck predicts very real conversations about replacing Platner will begin. The number to watch is ME-02: if Platner underperforms there, it's the clearest red flag that a candidate Democrats once viewed as a slam-dunk pickup is now in serious trouble. Finally, Chuck answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and spends a few minutes reflecting on the life of his grandmother who passed away this week.

He argues Trump is doing everything possible to accelerate his own lame duck status: he's politicizing America's 250th anniversary in ways that genuinely alarm vulnerable Republicans, he failed to engage any of the former presidents in the 250th planning, and he's creating Marie Antoinette-style "let them eat cake" optics by celebrating himself at a moment of real economic pain for ordinary Americans. Trump's treatment of CNN's Kaitlan Collins was outrageous, his cranky behavior with the press is a tell that things aren't going well, and his decision to formally nominate Todd Blanche for Attorney General has essentially zero chance of confirmation — Blanche has burned his bridges in the Senate and the doomed January 6th weaponization fund was reportedly his idea in the first place. It's almost as if Trump is begging to put a neon "I'm a lame duck" sign on the White House. Chuck then turns to California, where ballots are still being counted at a pace that he says is actively eroding public trust in the democratic process itself — the state desperately needs to find a way to count faster — and notes that CA-06 was drawn as a safe Democratic seat but the top two finishers right now are both Republicans, while Spencer Pratt looks safer in the LA mayoral race than Steve Hilton does in the governor's race.

The number to watch is ME-02: if Platner underperforms there, it's the clearest red flag that a candidate Democrats once viewed as a slam-dunk pickup is now in serious trouble. Then, Todd Ricketts — Chicago Cubs co-owner and founder of Freespoke, the search engine that labels news sources with media bias ratings — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that bridges the increasingly intertwined worlds of media, technology, and professional sports. Ricketts makes the case that when people are given genuinely good information from across the ideological spectrum, they tend to arrive at good answers — and that Freespoke's mission is to present all sides and then get out of the way, rather than letting ad sales determine what news you see. He pushes back on the idea that the market alone can solve the data privacy crisis, arguing data may eventually need to be regulated like a utility but that nothing changes until there's a major "event" that creates real public groundswell. Ricketts is candid about Freespoke's challenges — paywalls remain a real obstacle, the left/right labeling is imperfect and done by outside groups, and the political landscape itself is shifting in ways that scramble the traditional categories . He observes that podcasts have become a primary news source because people clearly hunger for long-form content with nuance, that politicians are now visibly afraid of giving long answers because they might get clipped, and that legacy media still doesn't seem to understand why its audience has migrated elsewhere. The second half pivots into the business of running a baseball team, and Ricketts brings the same straight-talking pragmatism to MLB's looming economic crisis. He argues you cannot sell a salary cap to MLB owners without genuine revenue sharing, because if the league itself isn't competitive then everyone eventually loses — including the owners writing the biggest checks. Players currently take roughly 48% of revenue, a number he expects to climb to around 52% in the next deal, and Ricketts is honest that half of MLB's franchises are still essentially mom-and-pop operations even as private equity money is rapidly entering the sport. He talks about the difficulty of running any sports team in 2026 because fans genuinely feel like they own the franchise, why ownership groups are increasingly building entire entertainment districts around their ballparks to control the fan experience end-to-end, and the painful broadcast rights question every team is wrestling with: fans have cut the cord, the old TV economics no longer work, and ownership has to be flexible with new broadcast partners even as they ask themselves whether season ticket holders should be entitled to free access to every game. Ricketts closes by laying out what would qualify as a disappointing season for the Cubs — a sober assessment from an owner who has watched the economics of his sport, and the media landscape his business depends on, both transform at the same time.

Are your salaried employees actually classified correctly under federal law — or are you sitting on overtime liability without knowing it? Most small business owners don't realize there's a three-part exemption test under the Fair Labor Standards Act that every salaried role has to pass.

The three-part FLSA exemption test every salaried employee has to pass (and why "salaried" alone doesn't make someone exempt) 2. The four most common classification mistakes Kerri sees in HR audits — and how to spot them in your own business 3. Why pay equity is NOT the same conversation as DEI, and what the Equal Pay Act and Title VII actually require 4.

In AI Valley, Gary Rivlin explains how OpenAI transitioned from a $10 million nonprofit endeavor to a multi-billion dollar enterprise. The immense cost of specialized chips and million-dollar salaries for machine learning talent rendered the original nonprofit model unsustainable. Consequently, Altman orchestrated a "for-profit subsidiary" to attract massive capital, notably from Microsoft, which invested $1 billion in 2019 and later an additional $10 billion. Rivlincharacterizes Altman as a charming and brilliant strategist who now prioritizes winning the global AI race over the company's original safety mission.
