This week, Jason is joined by media entrepreneur and podcast host, Rayna Greenberg! Rayna is the co-host of Girls Gotta Eat, one of the most successful podcasts in the world known for its hilarious, unfiltered takes on dating, relationships, sex, and modern life. Beyond podcasting, she is a creative powerhouse. She launched one of the first viral food and lifestyle accounts on instagram and turned that early success into a full-blown media career. Now between producing weekly episodes, managing live shows across the country, and building brand partnerships and so much more, she is a master class in how to turn creativity into a thriving business. Rayna breaks down why talking openly about money is essential in relationships, her take on dating apps and what to keep in mind when navigating them, the difference between icks and true turn-offs, and how often couples are having sex on average. She shares what she considers an ideal first date, her thoughts on who should pay, and why she strongly supports prenups. Rayna also dives into the business side of building Girls Gotta Eat—from her early career at Amazon to how she and Ashley operate as partners, how podcast advertising differs from social media, and what fans can expect from their live shows. She sheds light on the financials behind touring, the reality of spending more to make more, what aspiring podcasters should consider before launching, and what it took to build a sexual wellness brand, including investing a million dollars of their own money and navigating industry restrictions. Finally, she discusses working with Dear Media and why she hopes to podcast forever. Rayna reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

Send us a textBudget Special: What This Budget Really Means for Home Improvement Business OwnersIn this Budget Special, Kevin D Bannister breaks down what the latest Budget actually means for home improvement business owners. Whether you run a fitting team, a KBB showroom, a renovation firm or a wider trades business, this episode cuts through the noise and focuses on the real impact on your income, your staff and your customers.Kevin is joined by two major industry voices: Damian Walters (BIFIS/BiS) and Richard Hibbert (KBSA). Together, they unpack rising taxes, higher workforce costs, stalled consumer confidence and the lack of targeted support for the renovation and home improvement sector.What we cover: • Dividend, savings and property taxes all rising by 2% • Salary sacrifice changes increasing employer costs • No VAT relief or incentives to stimulate renovation demand • How consumer confidence may dip at the worst possible time • Why small businesses feel overlooked despite being "the backbone" • The real question: absorb new costs or raise pricesDamian warns the Budget will not reassure working people or spending households, sharing: "It is not good for spend and customer confidence."Richard highlights ongoing frustration: "Every year they're taking a little bit more away."Despite the challenges, both guests emphasise the resilience of independent trades and home improvement firms. These are the businesses that continue to "crack on" and keep the industry moving.If you want a straight talking, business owner view of the Budget and what it means for your next 12 months, this episode tells you exactly where you stand.

This week on the podcast - a bizarre ending to a high school football game, the soon to be expired Collective Bargaining Agreement has baseball fans scrambling to learn about salary caps, and we open another set of baseball cards.Errata: Greg Maddux finished his career with 355 wins. The pitchers named plus Warren Spahn and Kid Nichols had more. Tom Prince's "short career" lasted 17 manor league seasons, but Prince only played in 579 games. He managed in one game for the Pirates in 2019. Steve Lyons once famously slid into first base and to remove the dirt started removing his pants, until he remembered people were watching. Craig was thinking of Greg Harris, for some reason, of which there were two of which one (Greg A. Harris) was ambidextrous. Harris pitched both left and right handed in one game in 1995.

Alex Lieberman and Arman Hezarkani, co-founders of Tenex, reveal how they're revolutionizing software consulting by compensating AI engineers for output rather than hours—enabling some engineers to earn over $1 million annually while delivering 10x productivity gains. Their company represents a fundamental rethinking of knowledge work compensation in the age of AI agents, where traditional hourly billing models perversely incentivize slower work even as AI tools enable unprecedented speed. The Genesis: From 90% Downsizing to 10x Output The story behind 10X begins with Arman's previous company, Parthian, where he was forced to downsize his engineering team by 90%. Rather than collapse, Arman re-architected the entire product and engineering process to be AI-first—and discovered that production-ready software output increased 10x despite the massive headcount reduction. This counterintuitive result exposed a fundamental misalignment: engineers compensated by the hour are disincentivized from leveraging AI to work faster, even when the technology enables dramatic productivity gains. Alex, who had invested in Parthian, initially didn't believe the numbers until Arman walked him through why LLMs have made such a profound impact specifically on engineering as knowledge work. The Economic Model: Story Points Over Hours 10X's core innovation is compensating engineers based on story points—units of completed, quality output—rather than hours worked. This creates direct economic incentives for engineers to adopt every new AI tool, optimize their workflows, and maximize throughput. The company expects multiple engineers to earn over $1 million in cash compensation next year purely from story point earnings. To prevent gaming the system, they hire for two profiles: engineers who are "long-term selfish" (understanding that inflating story points will destroy client relationships) and those who genuinely love writing code and working with smart people. They also employ technical strategists incentivized on client retention (NRR) who serve as the final quality gate before any engineering plan reaches a client. Impressive Builds: From Retail AI to App Store Hits The results speak for themselves. In one project, 10X built a computer vision system for retail cameras that provides heat maps, queue detection, shelf stocking analysis, and theft detection—creating early prototypes in just two weeks for work that previously took quarters. They built Snapback Sports' mobile trivia app in one month, which hit 20th globally on the App Store. In a sales context, an engineer spent four hours building a working prototype of a fitness influencer's AI health coach app after the prospect initially said no—immediately moving 10X to the top of their vendor list. These examples demonstrate how AI-enabled speed fundamentally changes sales motions and product development timelines. The Interview Process: Unreasonably Difficult Take-Homes Despite concerns that AI would make take-home assessments obsolete, 10X still uses them—but makes them "unreasonably difficult." About 50% of candidates don't even respond, but those who complete the challenge demonstrate the caliber needed. The interview process is remarkably short: two calls before the take-home, review, then one or two final meetings—completable in as little as a week. A signature question: "If you had infinite resources to build an AI that could replace either of us on this call, what would be the first major bottleneck?" The sophisticated answer isn't just "model intelligence" or "context length"—it's controlling entropy, the accumulating error rate that derails autonomous agents over time. The Limiting Factor: Human Capital, Not Technology Despite being an AI-first company, 10X's primary constraint is human capital—finding and hiring enough exceptional engineers fast enough, then matching them with the right processes to maintain delivery quality as they scale. The company has ambitions beyond consulting to build their own technology, but for the foreseeable future, recruiting remains the bottleneck. This reveals an important insight about the AI era: even as technology enables unprecedented leverage, the constraint shifts to finding people who can harness that leverage effectively.

For Keith Swift, coaching is completely effort based, but it starts with camaraderie and education. As Director of Strength and Conditioning at Wofford College, his philosophy is clear: educate, heal, and enhance. While playing collegiate football and studying exercise science, Swift learned early to question the “why” behind training and encourages his student-athletes to do the same. At an academically rigorous institution, his educational focus fits right in, fostering curiosity, technical precision, and peer coaching. Swift shares how his experiences across professional baseball, the private sector, and collegiate programs each shaped his foundation while making it his own. Amid collegiate challenges — from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) transfer portal to the growing authority of student-athletes — Swift holds firm that “there is no substitute for hard work.” His goal is simple: help student-athletes leave with both a degree and a championship ring, setting them up for success in sport and life.

I was the only one. I think I had 14 sports by myself. And that was a time. I definitely cut my teeth as a strength coach there. And a lot of people shy away from situations like that.” 8:40 “When they start to coach each other and they have a lot of peer coaching and they're using proper terms and they're doing things the right way, that's like the biggest pat on the back and the biggest reward…” 10:50 “The expectations in the weight room, having my own expectations. They know that Coach Swift is going to come with it and you can't come with anything less. All I want is all you got. And some guys, I let them know ahead of time, like, this is-- think about this being a renovation. There's no renovation without demolition. And in the weight room, this is the demo zone. We're literally breaking your body down, and we're going to teach you how to recoup and recover and build yourself back up.” 16:25

Are you struggling to retain top sales talent because your team members can't find meaning in their work? The secret isn't just about hitting revenue targets—it's about building a purpose-driven organization that attracts exceptional people and creates lasting value. In this episode, I sit down with Enrique Alvarez, co-founder and managing director of Vector Global Logistics, to explore how purpose and profit can coexist in high-performance sales organizations. Enrique shares his unique approach to building a global sales team that operates on three core pillars, including their groundbreaking Results-Only Work Environment and complete transparency policy. From Transactional to Transformational Vector Global Logistics has cracked the code on shifting from short-term transactional relationships to long-term transformational partnerships. Enrique reveals their comprehensive hiring process, including how they identify candidates who can build authentic relationships rather than just close deals quickly. You'll discover their unconventional approach to transparency, including sharing everyone's salaries, company financials, and decision-making processes with the entire team. This radical openness creates trust and empowers sales professionals to make better decisions for both customers and the company. AI Integration with Human Connection We explore how Vector Global Logistics leverages AI tools while maintaining the human touch that drives real relationships. Enrique shares practical examples of using AI for customs entries, tracking shipments, and market analysis—all while ensuring their sales team focuses on what AI can't do: building genuine personal connections. The conversation covers the critical balance between automation and personalization, and why rushing to implement AI without human oversight can damage the very relationships that drive long-term success. Building Global Sales Teams With team members across China, Vietnam, India, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Ukraine, and beyond, Enrique provides insights into managing a truly global sales organization. He shares their panel interview process, the importance of cultural fit, and why they prioritize entrepreneurs over traditional salespeople. Here's what you can expect to gain from this episode: • A framework for attracting top talent through purpose-driven company culture • Strategies for building transformational client relationships instead of transactional ones • Practical approaches to integrating AI while maintaining authentic human connections • Methods for creating transparency that builds trust and improves performance • Insights into managing and scaling global sales teams effectively Whether you're a sales leader looking to reduce turnover, a business owner wanting to build a more meaningful organization, or a sales professional seeking to create deeper client relationships, this conversation provides actionable strategies for long-term success.
