In this episode of the Business Lunch podcast, Host Roland Frasier and guest Richard Lindner break down the subscription trap and why recurring revenue isn't always the ultimate solution it's made out to be.From the outside, subscription models look like a dream: predictable cash flow, higher valuations, and a business that doesn't start at zero each month. But as Roland and Richard reveal, the reality can be far more complicated.They dive into real stories from their portfolio companies, showing how recurring revenue can backfire through hidden churn, customer support debt, and endless innovation demands. You'll hear how even big players like Netflix constantly battle to keep customers engaged, and why smaller businesses often underestimate the true cost of service.This episode is a must-listen if you're considering shifting to a subscription model—or if you've already launched one and want to make sure it's sustainable.HIGHLIGHTS“Recurring revenue is great… until you're losing more members each month than you know how to gain.”“There's voluntary churn, where people cancel. But the killer is involuntary churn—declined payments, expired cards—that can quietly eat your business alive.”“If you're creating content subscriptions, pair them with community. Access is the real value that keeps people sticking around.”“Don't fall in love with the model. Define your business by who you serve, not just how you charge.”Mentioned in this EpisodeThe difference between breakage vs. consumption models (think Netflix vs. gym memberships)Why AI in customer support is changing the economics of subscription businessesHow to tell if your business should pursue a bolt-on subscription or avoid it altogether

Attorney-turned-operator Kendall Bonner joins Julia and Emerick to unpack how modern marketing—and a CEO mindset—can transform a real estate career into a durable business. Kendall shares the story behind her new role at eXp and how “asking” created the opportunity, then walks through the unconventional engine that scaled her team to 200+ sides without cold calling or portal leads. From AI, video, and Google-based intent to her “Data D's” framework for finding motivated movers, Kendall shows agents how to speak to life events, not just listings. We break down brokerage vs. team economics, revenue vs. profit, and why profit is intentional. Kendall also urges agents to buy back their time, add ancillary revenue around a single client journey, and actually invest in the asset we sell. She closes with a challenge: decide what's non-negotiable—then live it.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREThis episode is brought to you by HomeTeam Inspection Service.When you partner with HomeTeam, you're getting more than a home inspection—you're delivering The HomeTeam Experience.

How can heart rate variability help athletes optimize training? What role does post-activation performance enhancement play in endurance and power sports? In this episode, Dr. Daniel Boullosa and Dr. Olli Tikkanen explore cutting-edge research on athlete monitoring, fatigue management, and neuromuscular readiness. Dr. Boullosa discusses the significance of heart rate variability (HRV) in assessing recovery, readiness, and overall training load, explaining how HRV responses vary depending on the type of sport and individual athlete characteristics. The conversation covers the importance of subjective feedback, emphasizing how simple athlete-coach communication can sometimes be the best performance indicator. The episode also delves into post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) and how different training stimuli impact endurance and power athletes. Dr. Boullosa shares findings from his research, revealing that endurance athletes often improve performance after prolonged exercise, while power athletes may experience the opposite effect. This episode provides valuable insights for sports scientists, coaches, and athletes looking to refine their training and recovery strategies. Learn how physiological monitoring and personalized warm-ups can enhance athletic performance across different disciplines.

Running an MSP can feel like a whirlwind of tickets, meetings, and decisions. This episode sets out a calm, workable route to operations that hum. Start with a clear plan that covers financials, growth, structure, and how each role fits. Communicate it well. Give every person a role profile, a scorecard, and clear expectations. When people know what they own and when to seek support, accountability rises, and your MSP becomes consistent and easier to lead. One of the key themes in this conversation is how important it is to have a clear plan. Without a plan, everything in the business defaults back to you and that is the fastest way to become stuck in overwhelm. The plan has to cover financials, growth, organisational structure, and how each role in the business fits into that picture. From there, it is about clarity and communication. Everyone needs to know what their role is, what success looks like, and how their contribution connects with the bigger goal. This is where simple tools like role profiles, scorecards, and clear expectations come in. When your people understand the boundaries of what they can own, and where they need to seek help, you not only empower them but also create consistency and accountability. We also cover the challenge of marketing for MSPs. Marketing is often seen as something mysterious or even unnecessary if referrals are coming in. Yet the MSPs that are really building momentum are the ones who are treating marketing like a serious business function. They are committing time and money to it, understanding that marketing is not about instant results but about building an engine that delivers leads consistently over the long term. Many MSP owners are highly technical and want to see immediate returns. They hire engineers and within three months they are delivering results. That expectation does not translate to marketing and sales. These functions take longer to build, require consistency, and need ongoing investment of both money and attention. What works is starting with something simple, shipping it, and learning as you go. Instead of overthinking or waiting until everything is perfect, you put your message out into the market and then refine it based on feedback. This is exactly how successful software products are built, and the same principle applies to marketing your MSP. The important thing is to stick to the plan, avoid chopping and changing strategies every few months, and have patience with the process. As with all things in business, consistency wins. When you measure activities and outcomes in a meaningful way, you can track whether your marketing is leading to calls being booked and conversations being opened. We also talk about how so many MSPs fall into the trap of using the same vanilla phrases when they try to differentiate themselves. Phrases like “we partner with our customers” or “it is all about people” are heard by prospects again and again, and they lose all impact. What lands is clarity of journey, strong communication, and the quality of how you manage people. Show how your team works, how you lead, and how you make outcomes repeatable. That is what sets an MSP apart. The other big area we highlight is the role of leadership and succession. Too many MSP owners hold onto everything because they fear losing control or they are unsure whether their people are ready. The truth is, your next level of growth only comes when you create space for others to take ownership. Coach people to grow into responsibility even if the first pass is not perfect. Over time the team will surpass expectations, and you gain the headroom to focus on strategy, new services, or acquisitions. A useful analogy that comes up is around focus. If you go out every morning and hit the same tree five times with a sharp axe, eventually the tree will fall. If you scatter your energy across ten different trees, you never make progress. The same applies in your MSP. Pick the three or four priorities that will make the biggest impact, put everything else in what we call the Disney drawer, and only go back to it once those priorities are delivered. This approach not only gives you results, it also builds confidence in yourself and in your team as you see the wins accumulate.  The bottom line is simple. Create the plan, work the plan, and the plan will work. With consistency and discipline, you reclaim time, smooth out operations, and create the freedom to make the bigger moves that grow your MSP. Take a moment to review your own plan. Is it clear and visible? Does every person know their measures and next step? Are you investing enough time and money into Marketing so your MSP is not reliant on luck or referrals? Apply these lessons and you will move from overwhelm to overdrive with a business that feels lighter, faster, and far more predictable.

He discusses the company's role in nuclear power adoption and how the stock has been a rocket ship over the last year. Andy reveals that digital traffic hit all-time highs in August as global web visits continue rise for Oklo. He admits there's still some convincing for consumers but points to polling data declines in solar & wind power while nuclear energy ticks upward.======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

If your scalable offer isn't selling, it's not because you're not good at what you do.It's not because your offer needs tweaking or you're not posting enough content. What most women aren't told?The leap from 1:1 to one-to-many isn't just about delivery — it's about positioning, messaging, and sales psychology that actually fits you. It's about owning your authority & levelling up your sales strategy. Because the strategies that worked to sell your 1:1 offers don't always translate.And trying to “market like the gurus” can quietly push your dream clients away, not draw them in.

In this episode, we're joined by Barbara Matthews, Chief People Officer at Remote, the Series C company with 1800 employees across 85 countries building an end-to-end global HR platform. Barbara shares how her team compressed a 6–8 week performance cycle into 48 hours using monthly manager “trend” nudges, lightweight pre-calibration, and AI-generated self/manager summaries, while scaling a transparent, high-performance culture in a fully async org. We spoke with Barbara about designing performance to be continuous, objective, and fast, and how you can align leaders on what “good” vs. “great” looks like, avoid surprises for employees, and turn HR from a slow ritual into a real-time operating system. Here are some of the key questions we address: How do you build a high-performance culture (with transparency) across 85 countries without burning people out? What does it take to shrink performance reviews to 48 hours, and what's the exact sequence from self-assessments to calibrations, promos, and comp? How do monthly nudges and a simple 5-point trend score improve alignment and reduce end-of-cycle thrash? Where does AI add the most value in performance, and where should humans stay firmly in the loop? What is pre-calibration, and how do you align managers on role expectations so ratings are fair and consistent? How do you keep feedback truly continuous in an async environment - training managers, closing loops, and avoiding “annual surprise” syndrome? When promotions aren't available, what retention levers can be used to keep top talent engaged and growing?

[TDE Client Case Study] What happens when two powerhouse service providers join forces, refine their messaging, and finally package their expertise into a scalable program? Ellie Johnson and Megan Harrington, the creative-tech duo behind brand and web strategy services, share their journey inside The Distinctive Edge (TDE) — and the results are BIG: ✅ Signed new Done-For-You contracts straight from their revamped content ✅ Enrolled three clients into their brand-new Bankable Services Accelerator before the public launch ✅ Built a simple, memorable framework (“The Machine”) that makes their offers crystal clear ✅ Boosted their confidence to sell high-ticket coaching alongside their DFY services In this candid conversation, we unpack: Why they went from relying on Facebook groups to building a stronger Instagram presence The exact mindset shift that helped them branch into the coaching side of their business with imposter syndrome rearing it's ugly head How one “unhinged” post paid for the program itself The surprising clarity that came from simplifying their message down to ONE big idea If you're a service provider (or coach) who's tired of blending in, this episode will show you what's possible when you nail your story, create a framework that sticks, and put yourself in rooms that sharpen your message.

“We're the unmanaged service provider—we don't want to do what MSPs do. We provide the infrastructure so they can grow,” says Andrew Natour of Leaseweb USA. At the MSP Summit in Orlando, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Tim Mandell and Andrew Natour to discuss how Leaseweb partners with MSPs to deliver flexible, scalable infrastructure without requiring massive CapEx investments. Leaseweb, a Dutch-based global cloud infrastructure provider with 28 data centers worldwide (nine in the U.S.), works across industries—from gaming and retail to SaaS, ad tech, and AI. But for Mandell and Natour, MSPs are a uniquely strategic partner. “We want to take the journey with them,” Mandell explained. “We provide the infrastructure, they deliver the managed services. It's a true symbiotic relationship.” By offering options ranging from dedicated hardware to virtual private servers, colocation, and cloud services, Leaseweb enables MSPs to scale as client needs evolve. Their reseller model also allows partners to generate new revenue streams while maintaining customer ownership. For MSPs, the message is clear: focus on what you do best, while Leaseweb supplies the infrastructure backbone. Or as Natour put it: “We can frame the house, furnish it, or leave it unfurnished. The choice is yours.” Learn more at leaseweb.com.

In this episode of Manufacturing in the American Century, we're joined by Ivan Rosenberg. Ivan's had a long career as an engineer and as a management consultant for aerospace and defense manufacturers. In this new chapter of his leadership and discussed in this episode, Ivan is the founder of the Uniquely Abled Project, an initiative that connects and trains people with autism and other “unique abilities” for skilled jobs in advanced manufacturing.Ivan's entry into this work is personal. As a father of two children on the autism spectrum, he saw firsthand the barriers they would face trying to enter the workforce. At the same time, he was working with manufacturers struggling to fill open jobs. That tension between labor demands and overlooked talent led him to a simple question: why aren't we connecting these dots more effectively?The Uniquely Abled Project is built on the idea that cognitive disabilities don't mean unemployability. In fact, many people with autism have strengths, such as attention to detail, comfort with repetition, and process thinking, that are a great match for family-sustaining roles in advanced manufacturing like CNC machining. Ivan walks us through how the program works, the importance of changing both language and assumptions, and what it takes to build effective cross-sector partnerships around this work.We also talk about mindset; how employers, parents, and institutions often limit what's possible by framing disability in terms of deficits rather than abilities. Ivan offers a practical, clear-eyed approach to making this shift, and in doing so unlocking the opportunity for so many more individuals to have meaningful roles in meaningful work. Way to go, Ivan! UAP is looking to expand. If you are engaged in your region's workforce ecosystem be sure to reach out to us or Ivan directly to see how to start an Uniquely Abled Academy in your area!Links to Learn More:Find Ivan on Linkedin.Learn more about the Uniquely Abled ProjectFind UAP on Linkedin, Instagram, and FacebookFollow AMCC on Linkedin.Find Matt on Linkedin.Visit our website.AMCC's podcast is made possible in part by the expertise of Mike McAllen, founder of Podcasting4Associations.
