Ever run your hand across pool coping and feel sandpaper? That texture tells a story about water that's either starving for calcium or dumping it everywhere. We take you inside the Langelier Saturation Index—the tool that predicts whether your water will corrode metal and etch plaster or lay down crunchy scale on tile, heaters, and salt cells—and show you how to control it with confidence.We start by anchoring the basics: calcium hardness sets the foundation, temperature shifts the baseline, and pH is your steering wheel. With live number walkthroughs, we show how a single quart of acid can flip a balanced pool into corrosive red, and how a high pH can nudge a system into scale even when everything “looks fine.” You'll learn practical target ranges for plaster, fiberglass, and vinyl; why at least 150 ppm calcium is non-negotiable; and how to use alkalinity as a buffer to keep pH moves predictable. We also unpack TDS and salt's quiet role in scale formation and why measuring them matters in real-world service.If you handle startups, you'll get a clear roadmap: set calcium early, keep alkalinity near 100 ppm, adjust pH in steps, and never add calcium chloride and soda ash or baking soda on the same day. We share field stories—from coral-like scale to rusted heat exchangers—that connect the dots between a drifting LSI and expensive repairs. Finally, we reset expectations: you don't need a perfect zero. Aim for a safe green zone that rides seasonal changes without tipping into damage.• why LSI predicts corrosion or scale• calcium hardness as the baseline for balance• temperature's impact on the index through seasons• using pH as the primary steering control• safe targets for plaster, vinyl, and fiberglass• live example calculations with app guidance• startup priorities and minimum calcium levels• alkalinity as a buffer and sweet spot near 100 ppm• the danger of adding calcium and alkali the same day• TDS and salt effects on scale risk• field stories of etched plaster and crusted coping• focus on rangSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In this Greatest Hits episode of Advisor Talk, Frank LaRosa sits down with Cetera CEO Mike Durbin for a wide-ranging, candid conversation about ownership structure, affiliation flexibility, M&A strategy, custody decisions, and what it really means to build a “forever home” for advisors. From private equity misconceptions to succession solutions, this episode explores how advisors can think strategically - not reactively - about their long-term growth. Mike shares insights from his 35-year career working directly with financial advisors, including leadership roles at Morgan Stanley and Fidelity, and explains why he returned to the independent space to help shape the next decade of advisor evolution You'll hear discussion around: • Why multi-custody and multi-clearing can be a strategic advantage. • How private equity ownership can create stability instead of short-term pressure. • The importance of affiliation flexibility as careers evolve. • Why succession solutions should exist inside a firm - not outside it. • How large firms can still create community and localized support. • What “growth support” really looks like beyond recruiting deals. • Why diversification of revenue matters in a changing rate environment. Rather than focusing solely on headline recruiting deals or advisor headcount, this episode centers on a more important theme: Are you aligned with a partner that helps you play offense - not just react to change? As Mike states, it has never been a better time to be in the wealth management business - but it is changing quickly. If you're a financial advisor evaluating independence, succession, M&A, or long-term firm alignment, this Greatest Hits conversation offers perspective on how to think about scale, ownership, and growth in a dynamic industry.

For just under two hours, Trump in his State of the Union address lied about the state of the economy, the cost of living, his tariffs, and even his immigration policy—claiming that he favors legal immigration while his armed, masked goons grab and imprison people who followed the law. And if Americans didn't hear Trump discuss any real policy proposals in speech, it might be because he's a bit distracted with his quest to capture more media outlets, including his longtime nemesis, CNN. Trump's attempt to silence dissent has become the signature of his presidency.

Are prediction markets rigged? Rob Pizzola gives his honest take on the stigma surrounding prediction markets and why many of the common criticisms don't hold up. He breaks down how these markets actually function, where the skepticism comes from, and whether concerns about manipulation or unfair advantages are rooted in reality. Rob also explains how pricing, liquidity, and incentives work in practice — and why misunderstanding those mechanics fuels a lot of the backlash. He also discusses the value of products like Kalshi, how prediction markets compare to traditional sportsbooks, and where sharp bettors may (or may not) find edge. This episode is hosted by Rob Pizzola, professional sports bettor and CEO of The Hammer, and dives into the evolving role of prediction markets within the broader betting ecosystem.

Learn how AI agents are reshaping enterprise decision-making, AI governance, and brand creativity. Daniel Hulme, Chief AI Officer at WPP & CEO of Satalia/Conscium, explains how AI agents, decision intelligence, and his concept of “brand brains” (AI systems designed to create brand-specific, production-grade content) are changing how organizations operate. He shares why companies don't have data problems but decision-making problems, and how AI can augment human creativity at scale. Key Moments: From Academic AI Research to Enterprise AI Systems (01:50): Daniel traces his 25-year journey in AI, from studying intelligence and consciousness at UCL to building real-world systems inside global enterprises. He explains how curiosity about what it means to be human ultimately shaped his approach to building practical, responsible AI at scale. AI Agents and Risk: Why AI Needs Governance (05:50): Daniel introduces a defining metaphor, describing AI agents as intoxicated graduates—confident, fast, and often wrong. He uses this framing to explain why unchecked agent deployment is risky and why governance, testing, and supervision are essential as organizations scale AI. What Most Organizations Get Wrong About AI Testing: (14:00): Daniel breaks down the difference between testing for knowledge versus testing for real capability. He argues that most companies stop at surface-level validation, creating a false sense of safety and trust. How AI Changes Business Decision-Making (24:45): Daniel challenges the traditional analytics mindset, arguing that dashboards and insights rarely lead to better decisions. He explains why AI should be designed to make decisions directly and why humans are fundamentally bounded when dealing with complex optimization problems. Brand Brains and the Future of Creative Differentiation (30:25): Daniel introduces the concept of “brand brains,” explaining why generic generative AI content won't create competitive advantage. He shows how agentic systems can produce brand-specific, production-grade content that actually differentiates businesses. Key Quotes: “ There are many things that our brains do that are different to large language models that I think will inspire us to create much more energy-efficient machines.” - Daniel Hulme “Giving human beings better insights doesn't typically lead to better decisions… So working backwards from the problem to the data historically, for me, has been a success.” - Daniel Hulme “The reality is that those agents will go wrong… So there's going to be much more emphasis over the next year or so on governance [and] on making sure that they are capable of doing that job.” - Daniel Hulme Mentions WPP's AI “brains” Will AI ever be better than humans at predicting what humans want? | WPP The Hidden Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness by Mark Solms Guest Bio Dr. Daniel Hulme is a globally recognised expert in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and investor in emerging technologies.

The Accidental Empire: Marmol Radziner on Preservation, Prefab, and Fighting the Tyranny of the Nimby. Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner discuss the 36-year evolution of their design-build firm, tracing its roots in a student co-op to becoming a leader in modern residential architecture, restoration, and the urgent need for sustainable urban density in Los Angeles. The conversation features Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner, co-founders of Marmol Radziner, detailing the firm’s history, their design philosophy, and their views on the current state of preservation and sustainability in LA. Origin Story and The Return to Modernism: The co-founders met as students at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, living in “The Ark,” a condemned co-op. This environment of free rein to alter the building foreshadowed their later design-build approach. They founded their firm in 1989 during the “dying days of postmodernism,” quickly committing to the modernist ideal of clarity, reduction, and the connection between design and craft (Bauhaus). They attribute the firm’s early success to aligning with the eventual return to California modernism, driven by its rich history in the region. Milestone Projects and Preservation: The first major flag-planting project was the Gutentag Studio (a small, pure concrete block and cedar studio), followed by the new Ward Residence. Their watershed moment in preservation was the Kaufmann House restoration (1993) in Palm Springs. At the time, there was virtually no industry for modern restoration, forcing the firm to develop the roadmap for approaching these aging buildings. They view restorations as “classrooms” that inform their new work, maintaining a healthy split of one-third restoration and two-thirds new construction. Preservation Today: The Fetish vs. Functionality: Marmol and Radziner argue they are often at odds with the preservation community because they believe historic properties must evolve to remain functional and relevant, cautioning against a “fetish” that prevents necessary change. They criticize the current situation where every modern building is deemed “sacred,” citing the contentious, successful fight to demolish the Barry Building on San Vicente as an example of overreach where the building’s significance did not rise to the level requiring preservation. The Problem of Scale (“McModerns”) and Efficiency: They express concern over the proliferation of “McModerns” and elephantine houses, driven by high property values and the pressure to “max out the buildable area” on a site. They emphasize that their modern perspective is less about style and more about the fundamental importance of connection—internal open plans and connecting the home to the landscape and exterior rhythm of nature (a concept that is lost when properties are overbuilt). Sustainability and the Nimby Problem: While California leads the country in robust, fire-resilient, and energy-efficient building codes (which have been a success), they gave the state’s housing policy an “F.” Leo Marmol asserted that the greenest thing the city can do is densify and allow more housing in the urban core, calling out the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) mentality as the primary political failure that forces sprawl and long commutes. The Return to Prefabrication (Prefab 2.0): Marmol Radziner initially experimented with prefab from 2004–2012 but stopped after the 2008 crash. They are now returning to prefabrication—Prefab 2.0—as a response to the current “crisis of construction costs” and the need for quick, affordable, and sustainable housing solutions, particularly for fire rebuilds in Altadena and the Palisades. Design-Build Practice Scale: The firm combines Architecture, Construction Services (design-build), Landscape Architecture, and Interior Design under one roof. They support their construction services with their own dedicated cabinet shop and metal shop in El Segundo, allowing for control over craft and execution. Fire Resilience and Landscape: The fires are affecting landscape rules, particularly regarding Zone Zero (the 0–5 feet immediately surrounding the building). They argue against the extreme position of “no planting” in Zone Zero, believing the right, well-irrigated planting can help against embers, which they identify as the biggest culprit in mass fires, more so than direct flame. Home hardening (sealing every vulnerability) is considered the single most important factor, with modern energy codes being an accidental but highly effective form of fire hardening.
Send a textGrowth gets noisy when speed outruns structure. We invited Matt Granados, CEO of Life Pulse, to show how to turn that noise into a rhythm teams can sustain. Instead of glorifying grind, Matt reframes productivity as alignment: purpose tied to goals, people equipped with simple systems, and performance measured by outcomes, not seat time. The result is a path from high output at a breaking pace to high output at a sustainable pace—optimal performance.We dig into weekly reverse planning, a lightweight framework that reduces overwhelm by handling the 80 percent you can control while leaving margin for the 20 percent you can't. Matt explains why scheduling every minute backfires, how to reset plans when new variables hit, and why planning is more valuable than the plan. We talk through the 100-80-100 hiring rule—bringing on people who can deliver 100 percent of responsibilities at 80 percent of their ability—so growth, hiccups, and innovation don't push the team into the red. We also confront symptom chasing with a simple root cause method: ask “why” five times until the real blocker shows up.The people side takes center stage. Personal life does bleed into work, and leaders are often the last to know. Matt shares how equipping individuals—rather than shoulding on them—transforms performance. We explore leading with explanation instead of defense to build trust and clarity, plus the “unsell” step in interviews that sets honest expectations and attracts the right talent for fast-changing environments. And yes, we tackle AI head-on: if a tool 5x's output with quality, reward it. Optimize for results, not optics.If you're ready to scale without burning out your team, this conversation delivers practical systems you can use next week.

In this episode, Katherine Turnoff talks with Dipti Kachru, CMO, Broadridge Financial Solutions, about the shift from marketing to millions in B2C to marketing to hundreds or thousands in highly targeted B2B, which requires finding senior operations and technology leaders in the right context for complex, high-consideration purchases. Guest Quote: “And what's interesting about the world of B2B is you're no longer selling to one person. You're actually selling to buying groups. And so we've got to think about the personas in the buying group in terms of are they actual decision makers? Are they users? Are they influencers? And what role are they actually playing in that sales process that we often are helping support, enable, or make faster.” Episode Breakdown: [01:34] Alchemy Unveiled From scale to precision: Dipti shares how moving from millions of consumers to hundreds of B2B buyers reshapes targeting, messaging, and channel strategy — and why context and timing matter more than reach. [18:03] From Nuggets to Campaign Gold Look past the dashboard: Dipti explains why vanity metrics can hide the real story, how psychographic insight changes campaigns, and what happens when marketers follow engagement signals instead of impressions. [23:27] Gold Rush Round What data can't replace: Dipti reflects on the limits of impressions and CTRs, the role of empathy in marketing, and why understanding the business is the modern marketer's real edge.

Gen Z is not shopping the way Millennials did and they are definitely not responding to the same packaging playbook.In this episode, I sits down with Sanders, founder of Nuex Creative, to unpack how Gen Z discovers new food and beverage brands, what signals authenticity and what feels forced, and why traditional front of pack claims have stopped doing the heavy lifting.They explore the visual languages Gen Z actually responds to, where bold design helps or hurts trust, and how founders with limited budgets can make high impact packaging decisions without a full redesign.If you are building a brand for the next generation of consumers or wondering why your packaging looks great but is not converting, this episode will help you rethink what matters now.Startup to Scale is a podcast by Foodbevy, an online community to connect emerging food, beverage, and CPG founders to great resources and partners to grow their business.

A wish is far more than a fleeting moment of joy; it is a scientifically-backed medical intervention that can fundamentally alter a child's healing journey. Meaghan Stovel McKnight, CEO of Make-A-Wish Canada, joins the conversation to dismantle the “last wish” myth and replace it with the “Wishes are Medicine” framework, which highlights the measurable clinical impact of hope on critical illness. Beyond the mission, she offers a candid look at leading a national transformation—moving the organization from a post-pandemic scarcity mindset to a culture of abundance by investing in technology, talent, and a “constellation of leaders.” From the logistical challenge of granting wishes in 600 unique communities to the vulnerability required to lead from the C-suite, this discussion bridges the gap between high-level operational strategy and the raw, emotional heart of the social profit sector.
Send a textIn this episode, I'm sharing a Live Coaching session with Marissa where we talk about one of the most common struggles I see when starting MACROS 101: our relationship with the scale. If the number can instantly change your mood, make you question everything you're doing, or tempt you to jump to the next plan, you're not alone. We talk about the “messy middle,” why your brain craves certainty, and how learning to tolerate discomfort is the real key to long-term success. This episode isn't just about the scale; it's about building the emotional resilience to stay consistent and trust yourself through the process.Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/402Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!Links:bicepsafterbabies.com/waitlist
Most personal injury firms don't collapse because of bad marketing. They collapse under their own weight. As your team grows, every new initiative gets harder to launch. Communication slows down. Silos form. Bureaucracy creeps in. So how do you scale to nearly 300 employees without becoming impossible to steer? David Chamberlin, VP of Marketing and Operations at The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, shares how he keeps a massive firm moving like a startup—by turning reviews into a growth engine, engineering intake like a sales floor, and applying Lean principles to eliminate waste before it spreads. You'll learn: Why David treats reviews as a critical growth lever—not an afterthought. What a 20-person intake team with dedicated attorneys does to convert higher-value cases. How the intake team aggressively pursues unresponsive leads across phone, text, and email. How Lean reviews every department annually to eliminate waste and silos.

Everyone talks about systems like they're the key to doing more. Scale your business. Get more done at home. Be more productive. But here's what no one is telling you about why you actually need good systems, whether you're running a business or managing a household...The real benefit isn't about capacity or growth. It's about calm. When you have solid systems in place, you get to step away without everything falling apart. You get to go on vacation and actually enjoy it. You stop being the bottleneck everyone depends on. And most importantly, you stop living in constant overwhelm. If you're already drowning in chaos, scaling that chaos just creates more chaos. But when you build systems that prioritize calm first, everything else becomes possible.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why scaling chaos only creates more chaosThe real reason great systems matter more than efficiencyHow calm operations keep you from being the bottleneckWhat happens when you step away with systems in placeWhy harmony should be your goal before adding more to your plateResources Mentioned In The Episode:Get control of your LIFE with the TOP Program: www.thetopprogram.comGet control of your BUSINESS with TOP Operations: www.megansumrell.com/operations________________________________

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send a textThis week's enterprise software announcements reflect a broad, coordinated push toward AI-native experiences layered across collaboration, operations, finance, and core business platforms. Salesforce's latest version of Slack, Oracle's role-based AI agents for Fusion Cloud, and SAP's extension of its business suite all signal that hyperscalers are embedding AI directly into day-to-day workflows rather than positioning it as a standalone add-on. In parallel, Sprinklr's new AI capabilities and Upstream Works' enhanced agent desktop extend this trend into customer experience and contact center operations, while Kantata's new AI platform targets the specialized needs of professional services firms. NetSuite's “Next” roadmap reinforces Oracle's mid-market modernization strategy, and ScienceLogic's reimagined applications highlight how observability and IT operations are also being reshaped by AI-first design principles. Rounding out the picture, Cleo's invoice payment and financing solution underscores growing pressure to modernize B2B financial operations, while Sage's acquisition of Criterion signals continued consolidation in the HCM space—together illustrating a market that is rapidly standardizing on AI-driven interaction layers even as vendors compete to redefine their category boundaries.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-5FOS9QamYQuestions for Panelists?

Welcome back to The Collision Vision Roundtable. I'm Cole Strandberg, and as part of our new format, we're unpacking the key themes from my recent conversation with Sebastian Torres of CARSTAR Torcam Group. Sebastian shared how rethinking intake, by leveraging mobile inspection and capture estimating, allowed his team to deliver estimates before customers leave, increase efficiency, and lay the foundation for smart, sustainable growth. Today I'm joined by our permanent panelists, Erin Solis and Sheryl Driggers, along with returning guest Bill Brower of Solera. We're going deeper — not just on the technology itself, but on what it really takes to build the operational foundation for growth, scale it across locations, and make sure tech adoption actually translates into better performance and profitability.

TV is exploding again. But most brands still don't know how to make it work without blowing their budget. In this new mini-series brought to you by Tatari, Daniel sits down with Meghan Shea, Head of Growth at Bonafide Health, and Romano Bottini from Tatari, to break down how modern brands are using TV as a performance multiplier, not just a brand play. From fixing fragmented measurement and delayed reporting, to proving TV's impact on CAC, branded search, Amazon halo, and retail growth, Meghan shares how Bonafide turned TV from a “nice to have” into a repeatable growth engine. They dive into Q1 wellness pushes, why linear still matters for older demographics, how to think about creative testing, and why scared money doesn't make money when you're trying to scale. If you're a mid-market brand stuck between performance and brand (and wondering whether TV is worth it) this is the episode for YOU. Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel. Unlike most platforms that focus only on programmatic CTV, Tatari gives marketers access to all of TV - linear, streaming, programmatic CTV, and direct publisher inventory - in one platform. By combining premium inventory with transparent reporting and outcome-based measurement, Tatari lets growth teams evaluate TV the same way they evaluate paid search or paid social. The result: more control, better reach, and TV spend that can actually be tied back to business results.

The chemicals industry remains locked into carbon-intensive, fossil-based manufacturing. Even engineered microbes like yeast or E. coli depend on expensive sugar feedstocks while generating significant waste. What if a photosynthetic organism could eliminate those constraints entirely—while commanding premium pricing as "ocean-derived"?On the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, Tim Corcoran, CEO and Co-Founder of Deep Blue Biotech, reveals how a recently discovered fast-growing marine cyanobacteria strain is unlocking carbon-neutral chemical production at costs below conventional fermentation. With his background spanning economics, operations, and innovation commercialization, Tim challenges conventional assumptions about synthetic biology scale-up, market entry strategy, and what actually separates successful biotechs from valley-of-death casualties.Key topics discussed:Tim Corcoran's background in commercial roles, his pivot to biotech, and the founding story of Deep Blue Biotech (03:41)Overview of cyanobacteria biology: photosynthetic efficiency and its legacy in Earth's atmosphere (07:22)What makes the discovered ocean-based strain unique—and its advantages in robustness, growth rate, and use in personal care (08:27)Commercial challenges and scientific limitations that have made cyanobacteria difficult to industrialize—plus recent breakthroughs (9:38)Comparison with legacy hosts such as E. coli, yeast, microalgae: efficiency, feedstocks, genetic tractability, and downstream processing(11:02)The significance of direct secretion for lowering production costs and reducing CO₂ footprint (14:38)Scale-up strategies with photobioreactors: modularity, light and CO₂ management, and future tech improvements (15:17)Commercial strategy: starting with high-value personal care hyaluronic acid, regulatory considerations, and the rationale for this approach (17:17)The importance of aligning scientific innovation with market needs and early customer discovery (20:31)Long-term vision: potential for cyanobacteria in sustainable production of commodity chemicals like biofuels and the impact on global emissions (22:04)Strategic insight:Deep Blue Biotech's "premium-first commercialization" mirrors Tesla's playbook: start with high-margin applications ($2,000/kg hyaluronic acid for personal care) to generate immediate revenue and prove the platform. These early profits fund continuous strain engineering and process optimization, progressively driving down cost-of-goods while improving volumetric productivity. Only after establishing economic viability at premium pricing does the company target large-volume commodity markets—sustainable fuels, industrial chemicals—where success requires demonstration of competitive economics at industrial scale.Discover how this photosynthetic organisms could decarbonize entire chemical supply chains while improving manufacturing economics.

Watch the full series here → https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKi-7Pfz-69k5RqQyH-xU6EUe9Vk1_6LS&si=rzltOTe_pRerUshH This is the episode where the money finally means something. You've built awareness (Episode 1). You've created rhythm (Episode 2). You've learned how to make decisions and get paid properly (Episode 3). Now comes the real question: What do you actually do with the money? Because profit without intention just turns into: – Dumb spending – Panic tax decisions – Or a bigger business that still owns you. This episode is about turning profit into freedom, wealth, and optionality — not more stress.In this episode, you'll learn: 1) The order of operations for money (most owners get this backwards) Profit isn't for random spending. There's a sequence: – Pay yourself properly – Allocate for tax on purpose – Decide how much stays in the business – Decide how much gets extracted – Then invest deliberately Miss the order and you'll always feel broke, even when the numbers look good. 2) Why “reinvest everything” keeps owners stuck Reinvestment without rules is just unpaid labour in disguise. You'll learn how to reinvest with intention, so the business grows and your life improves. 3) The difference between business wealth and personal wealth A valuable business is not the same as personal security. We break down how to: – Build cash buffers – Separate business risk from life money – Avoid having your entire net worth trapped inside your gym 4) Smarter tax decisions (not dodgy write-offs) Buying stuff to “save tax” is one of the most expensive mistakes owners make. You'll learn how to: – Plan tax early – Use profit allocation instead of panic spending – Make decisions your future self won't regret 5) Designing a business that serves your life This is where finance becomes personal. What's the point of profit if: – You're still stressed – You still can't switch off – You still feel guilty spending money? This episode ties the numbers back to why you started. Homework: Your homework for Episode 4 is to decide what your profit is for. Download the workbook here → https://bit.ly/p-finance-in-february-workbook Then choose ONE: Set a profit allocation rule Decide how much stays in the business vs comes out Create a tax buffer (on purpose, not in panic) Decide what “enough” actually looks like for your life Map how profit turns into freedom over the next 12–36 months Write it down. Put it in the calendar. Stop winging it. What's next? That wraps Finance February. If this series changed how you think about money, decisions, or your role as an owner, go back and rewatch it as a system, not four random episodes.

Welcome to The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing for Entrepreneurs with Nick Lamagna - where entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and fighters share the strategies that help them overcome obstacles, and achieve success. In this episode, Nick sits down with Jack Bosch, bestselling author, educator, and creator of the Land Profit Generator, who built a $100M real estate empire by flipping vacant land and mastering self‑financing deals. Jack explains why vacant land is the most overlooked wealth‑building asset, how to structure self‑financing deals that create lifelong cash flow, and the daily habits and mindset that separate dreamers from self‑made millionaires. Expect practical tactics you can use right away: direct‑mail lead systems, wholesale and entitlement strategies, how to sell to builders or buyers with owner‑finance, and real examples of deals that scale from small flips to multi‑million developments. What you'll learn in this episode: ✅ Why land beats houses for many investors: less competition, motivated sellers, and easier systems. ✅ Three hot land niches: infill lots for builders, path‑of‑growth lots for retirees and remote workers, and mini‑ranches enabled by Starlink and remote work. ✅ Deal mechanics: how to structure contracts, use self‑financing and double closings, and leverage transactional funding when needed. ✅ Scale playbook: move from high‑volume small deals to high‑profit entitlements and vertical development as your network and capital grow. ✅ Mindset & habits: long‑term thinking, daily discipline regardless of motivation, and building systems that let you live life on your terms. Whether you're an investor, entrepreneur, athlete, or martial artist, this episode will inspire you to bring your A game to real estate, business, and life.
