Proliferation Risks from US Surplus Plutonium Sales Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski critiques the Department of Energy's plan to sell 20 tons of surplus weapons-grade plutonium to American firms for use in new reactor designs. He warns that promoting plutonium fuel exports substantially raises international proliferation risks by bringing nations substantially closer to nuclear weapons capability. Sokolski notes that South Korea is actively seeking permission to recycle plutonium domestically, a development that increases nuclear uncertainty across the Korean Peninsula and challenges the global nonproliferation regime. 1955
Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
In this episode, I got to catch up with three amazing Triad members — Gary Hansen, Jaris Hansen, and Josh Cumrine — to break down how they turned a founder-led firm, Retirement Planning Center of the Rockies, into a team-driven business that's tripled in size over the past three years, now closing in on $40 million of new assets in 2025.Gary started this thing back in the '70s as a one-man insurance practice. Fast forward a few decades, and his son Jaris and son-in-law Josh are now running the next chapter. But it wasn't always smooth sailing. For years, they were grinding — three advisors running three different playbooks, sitting in every client meeting, and doing everything themselves. The effort was there, but the structure wasn't. They were growing busier, not bigger.Then in 2022, everything shifted. They stopped running three different playbooks and decided to run one. They quit selling products and started leading clients through a clear, repeatable process. They put the right people in the right seats and built systems that gave clients confidence and their team freedom.Today, RPC isn't just a family business. It's a growing legacy — built on values, powered by structure, and set up to keep scaling for generations to come.3 of the biggest insights from RPC Financial…1.) From Chaos to Clarity — How Structure Unlocked GrowthFor years, each advisor ran their own show. Once they unified under one brand and clarified responsibilities, the firm took off. Structure created consistency and consistency created scale.2.) The Mindset Shift That Led to a 95% Close RateWhen they stopped “selling products” and started leading clients through a proven process, everything changed. By the second meeting, 95% of qualified prospects were saying yes — without doing any upfront planning for free.3.) Building a Brand That Connects and Keeps EvolvingWords matter. The language your team uses shapes how people see and trust you. By creating their Summit Retirement Guide and using simple, powerful language like “confidence in the path ahead” and “sleep well at night,” RPC built a message clients actually remember. And the best part? They're still refining it, making sure their brand grows right alongside their business.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/140FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

What makes a truly unforgettable client experience? In this episode of The Sales Maven Show, host Nikki Rausch sits down with Rosemary Lewis, coach, author, and real estate broker, to unpack how intentional design and heartfelt connection turn ordinary client experiences into lasting relationships. Rosemary, team lead at RL Realty Group and creator of Real Estate Besties, shares how she combines strategy, faith, and authenticity to build a brand that keeps clients coming back again and again. From the moment guests walk into one of Rosemary's events, they're met with warmth, care, and purpose. She believes that exceptional client experiences start long before the sale—by considering the fears, hesitations, and sacrifices clients make just to show up. Every color choice, every greeting, and every activity at her Real Estate Bestie Experience conference is crafted to make attendees feel valued, seen, and celebrated. As Nikki observed firsthand while speaking at Rosemary's event, the energy in the room was electric. Women weren't just attending a conference—they were forming friendships, collaborating on business opportunities, and building confidence that would ripple long after the weekend ended. Throughout the conversation, Rosemary reveals that her success stems from an empathetic approach: she puts herself in her clients' shoes and anticipates their emotional needs. Her focus isn't just on teaching real estate strategy but also on creating transformation through connection and faith. That commitment extends beyond the event itself—her programs, podcast, and community all reinforce the same message: growth happens when you invest in yourself and others. Nikki and Rosemary also discuss the mindset shift required to move from spending to investing—in time, money, and personal growth. Rosemary explains how she helps clients overcome fear and recognize their own worth, creating environments where women support one another rather than compete. She's proof that when you design client experiences rooted in empathy, faith, and service, loyalty becomes natural. By the end of the episode, listeners are left inspired to rethink how they engage with their own clients. It's not just about delivering value—it's about crafting moments that make people feel understood, appreciated, and motivated to keep coming back. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to elevate their client experiences from transactional to transformational. Nikki invites you to join the Sales Maven Society.

Her vibrant style and smart strategy have landed her features in Cosmopolitan and Taste of Home, and she's built a thriving education business teaching fellow food creatives how to do what she does. But last Black Friday, she tried something new: she ran her first-ever "5 Days of Deals" promotion using my Black Friday in a Box strategy, and the results were incredible.In this episode, Sam and I dive into her journey from custom cake shop owner to food blogger to full-time photographer and educator. She walks us through exactly how she structured her Black Friday week, what offers she sold (from $24 guides to her $2,850 mastermind), and what surprised her most about the results. We also talk about why she's changing things up for this year's Black Friday and what she learned from testing new offers during the sale.If you've ever wondered whether the Black Friday in a Box strategy works for businesses outside of traditional course creation, or if you're curious about how to structure a multi-day promotion with offers at different price points, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn:How Sam transitioned from pastry chef to food photographer to online educatorThe exact breakdown of Sam's five Black Friday offers and how much each one madeWhy her $24 restaurant photography guide ended up being one of her best sellersWhat happened when she tested a brand-new $697 offer on Thanksgiving (spoiler: no one bought it, and that's okay!)How she filled half of her $2,850 mastermind spots without doing any sales callsThe power of testing new offers during Black Friday to gather valuable dataWhat Sam is changing for her Black Friday strategy this yearWhy following the Black Friday in a Box strategy to a T made all the differenceResources Mentioned in This Episode:Black Friday in a Box: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/black-fridaySam's Food Blog: https://frostingandfettuccine.com/Sam's Creative Business: https://samadlercreative.com/Your Next Steps:Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show

I'm showing you the exact framework I used to go from zero sales to consistent momentum—ultimately passing $550,000 in Etsy revenue. You'll learn the psychological journey every seller goes through, how to pick a tight niche the algorithm actually understands, the cadence for shipping listings without burning out, and the metrics that prove you're on track (including the 1% conversion benchmark). I'll also cover when to layer in marketing (and when not to), which channels compound over time, and the weekly system that keeps growth predictable. What you'll learn • Mindset map: uninformed optimism → informed pessimism → valley of despair → informed optimism → success • Niche strategy: why focus beats “sell everything” and how the algorithm rewards depth • Listing cadence: a simple weekly target to feed the algo and gather data fast • Momentum signals: traffic → favorites → sales (and how to mine listing stats/keywords) • Benchmarks: the 1% conversion rule and how to interpret it at low volumes • Go deeper: multiplying winners, avoiding shiny-object detours • Marketing timing: when to use coupons, sales, and (later) Etsy Ads without wasting budget • Traffic that compounds: Pinterest, YouTube, and blog vs. short-life social posts • The weekly flywheel: research → create → analyze → refine → expand #EtsySelling #EtsySEO #EcommerceTips #SideHustle #PrintOnDemand #SmallBusiness #HandmadeBusiness Grow faster than 99% of Etsy shops

Guest: Tom Dee Guest Bio: Tom began his sales management career over eight years ago, and he is passionate about turning underperforming teams into high-performing, revenue-generating ones. Tom loves using tools like AI-driven sales insights to stay sharp and ahead of the game. His approach to leadership is all about mentorship, making smart decisions, and keeping the focus on the customer, building relationships that last. Key Points: Career Journey Started in sales by accident. Studied TV and radio production at the University of Dayton, but couldn't find work in that field. While waiting tables, he met the president of a copier company who was impressed by his "sales pitch" and hired him. Learned cold calling and sales fundamentals in copier sales. Connected through the Chamber of Commerce to Ryden, where he started as a sales account representative. After two successful years, he was promoted to sales manager despite having no prior management experience. His boss recognized his leadership potential and sales acumen. Has been with Ryden for nine years, discovering his true calling in leadership, mentorship, and sales management. Music and Sales Tom is also a musician and band singer. Believes music and sales share core similarities: both require creativity, persistence, and appreciation of the process, not just the outcome. Says the best salespeople, like musicians, hone their craft over time — success isn't innate; it's developed through discipline and practice. Comparing recording music ("you don't see how many takes it took") to the sales process, the journey matters as much as the final result. Sales Philosophy Rejects the myth of the "born salesperson." Emphasizes that sales success comes from process, practice, and consistency, not innate talent. Says the best reps "get out what they put in". Hard work and repetition pay off. Values creativity, resilience, and self-belief in sales performance. Leadership & Coaching Approach Focuses on individualized coaching to help each rep become "the best version of themselves." Builds on strengths and raises the floor on weaknesses, progress can mean moving from a D to a B, not perfection. Believes in incremental improvement - small, consistent gains lead to big results. Encourages trust-based coaching by explaining the "why" behind feedback. Promotes two team types: · Business Development Reps: Need direction, creativity, and fresh energy. · Account Reps: Need structure, process optimization, and focus on managing existing clients. Overcoming Sales Call Fear Recognizes fear of cold calling as common, "there's no magic wand." The only real solution is repetition and desensitization: pick up the phone, make calls, and learn from experience. Sales managers often act like psychologists, helping reps shift their mindset from "I'm bothering people" to "I'm helping people." Acknowledges that sales isn't for everyone, and that's okay. The Power of Process Process brings structure and rhythm to an unpredictable job. Encourages reps to block time and eliminate distractions during call sessions. Teaches that routine builds confidence and consistency, helping overcome discomfort. Note the moment of breakthrough when reps see results from their effort; that's when confidence clicks. Use of Scripts Provides scripts to new reps, especially since Ryden is in the print industry with its own terminology. Scripts help reps learn the "language" of their customers. Encourages reps to act as if, use scripts as training wheels until they internalize the message and make it their own. "Fake it till you make it… But eventually, you have to make it." Management Philosophy Believes in meeting people where they are, not forcing everyone into one mold. Success comes from helping each rep develop in their own authentic way. Leadership is about guidance, empathy, and helping others grow, not control.

Episode 401 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Nicole Phillips-Bastian of Qatch. This episode was recorded live at Startup Boston Week at Suffolk University which is the third year that I've hosted it onsite. Thank you to Stephanie Roulic for the invitation, as it's a lot of fun and great to be involved in such a meaningful conference. And, since it was hosted live, this episode is audio only and my apologies for the background noise. Personalization isn't a new term in the world of tech but as a consumer, it often fails. It could be a failure around the data, the actual tech powering the experience, or executional challenges. For Qatch (which stands for Quick Match), they have been able to overcome these challenges by establishing trust with consumers in one of the most coveted spots for obtaining first party data… no, it's definitely not email, but through text messaging. Qatch is a personalized shopping platform that allows user preferences to dictate what products they see next. Their platform enables the company to capture user engagement to a degree other brands are not, which gives them incredibly valuable insight into what products a specific shopper would buy, so they can recommend it to them in real-time. It all falls under that trust factor which is so important, because if Qatch is not delivering value, it's easy to block that text message and it is this level of trust that has been so key to their success. Two interesting points to note: 1. Nicole's co-founder for Qatch is her sister Raquel. 2. They have built a very capital efficient company, as they have raised just under $2M in funding. In this interview, we cover: * The importance of founder-led sales. * Nicole's background story and her journey into law as a retail attorney with a focus on fashion law and regulations. * All the details about Qatch and why they decided on text messaging as their primary method of communication. * How the platform works and their use of AI. * Sales and getting brands to join their platform, plus how they evolved their pricing strategy. * The competition and how they differ from companies like Stitch Fix. * Her experience raising capital as a female founder and why sales is the best form of funding. * And so much more.

Sales for a Biotherapeutic Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In a tech startup, the customer is the one who buys the product. In a biotherapeutic startup, the customer is the pharma company that will buy the company. While almost all tech startups launch a product and sell it to the user, the biotherapeutic startup rarely launches the startup to sell the product. The cost to launch a biotherapeutic company is very high, given the cost of deploying the sales force and producing the product. The biotherapeutic startup spends its time identifying the right pharma company. This includes a review of their product line, intellectual property portfolio, and position in their sector. The CEO of the biotherapeutic spends time with potential acquirers of the startup to learn more about their priorities. The CEO looks for a candidate pharma company that does not already have the same IP as the startup. Biotherapeutics, in most cases, are looking for IP that fills a gap in their patent portfolio. In launching a biotherapeutic startup, identify the ideal customer profile and then match to the existing pharma companies on the market.

New data from hiring platform Indeed reveals that hospitality, visa sponsorship and roles that offer flexibility are dominating the job searches, seeing the most growth in Ireland this year. These findings come as Indeed hosts its annual FutureWorks event in Dublin last week, where hiring professionals will hear from guest speaker Bob Geldof on how leadership and teamwork can change the world, as well as getting a preview of Indeed's new suite of AI-powered tools. Hospitality and service jobs feature prominently among the top growing searches. "Barista" takes the number one spot on the list, reflecting the ongoing growth of coffee culture in Ireland, while "hotel" ranked third, and searches for "receptionist" and "kitchen porter" also made the top ten. This comes as a VAT reduction for the sector was announced in the most recent Budget, which may support further hiring expansion across hotels, cafés, and restaurants. Meanwhile, searches for "Ireland visa sponsorship" ranked second, highlighting the country's strong appeal to international talent, particularly amidst visa rules tightening in some other countries. Almost 14% of searches on Indeed's Irish site now come from abroad, while 42% of workers in Ireland have foreign work experience (reflecting both the inflow of international workers and the experience gained abroad by Irish jobseekers). Employment permits issued reached record highs in 2024, underlining the openness from employers to sponsoring overseas candidates. Flexibility continues to be a defining feature of Ireland's job market, with searches for "remote" and "work from home" roles also featuring on the list. Indeed data shows that almost 1 in 5 (17%) job postings in Ireland now mention remote or hybrid options, sustaining the post-pandemic shift toward flexible working. Likewise, interest in part-time opportunities remains high, with roles like these being of particular interest to students, parents and caregivers seeking roles that can fit around their lifestyle and other commitments. Yet even with these emerging trends, the most common overall search on Indeed remains a "blank" query, where job seekers enter a location but leave the job title empty. This signals both career uncertainty and openness among job seekers exploring new directions, a gap that Indeed aims to address through its latest product innovations. Conor McCarthy, Vice President at Indeed, commented: "This year's top growing searches show us what jobseekers value most: opportunity, flexibility and mobility. The rise in hospitality and visa sponsorship searches reflects both a resilient domestic sector and strong global interest in Ireland's labour market. Meanwhile, demand for remote and work-from-home roles indicates a flexible work trend that's here to stay." "The prevalence of blank searches tells us many people are open to change but unsure where to start. With this new suite of products, we're aiming to help job seekers explore their options confidently and to help employers connect with the right talent quickly." The top growing job search terms on Indeed in Ireland for 2025: 1. Barista 2. Ireland visa sponsorship 3. Hotel 4. Receptionist 5. Part-time no experience 6. Kitchen porter 7. Marketing 8. Electrician 9. Cleaner 10. Sales assistant 11. Warehouse operative 12. Cleaning 13. Childcare 14. Security 15. Remote 16. Healthcare assistant 17. Administration 18. Part time 19. Warehouse 20.

In this CPQ Podcast episode, Frank Sohn talks with Martin Johansen, founder of Mercura, a Denmark-based CPQ vendor focused on small to mid-sized manufacturers. With a background in finance and international business, Martin started Mercura straight out of college—initially building a configurator “by accident” for a customer request—and has since grown it into a SaaS platform used across Europe. We discuss Mercura's no-code setup and short implementation cycles (often 1–2 months), its support for cost-plus pricing, and partner/distributor workflows where channel users can upload and manage their own price lists. Martin explains how Mercura's in-browser 3D visualization enables room planning, snap-to placement, and collision detection in real time. While Mercura doesn't connect directly to CAD suites, customers can supply STEP files or drawings for CPQ-side visualization. A big portion of the conversation covers integrations—especially Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and Microsoft Business Central—plus experience with PIM solutions and HubSpot. Martin shares how Mercura applies AI on the admin side to speed configuration/rules setup, why headless is not a near-term priority, and the company's focus on manufacturers in sectors like playground equipment and healthcare (typical 5–200 users). We also touch on his sales mindset, weekly tennis/soccer routine, and how the book Work the System shapes Mercura's process discipline. Listen in for practical insights on delivering an easy-to-implement CPQ with modern visualization and tight Microsoft integrations.
