Send us a textDigital marketing frustrates many contractors, but what if the secret isn't finding the perfect channel—but creating a powerful strategy where everything works together? Tim Brown, CEO of Hook Agency, joins Crystal to unpack what truly makes digital marketing work for home service businesses. Unlike marketers who guard their "secret sauce," Tim shares candidly about SEO challenges in the age of AI, why most contractors struggle with online presence, and how small businesses can compete against industry giants.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Tim explains why a strong brand multiplies the effectiveness of every marketing dollar you spend. "If you're more memorable and distinct, every single piece of marketing you put out will have a higher ROI," he says. This isn't just about logos—it's about infusing your reputation into symbols customers immediately recognize when they need you.For contractors feeling overwhelmed by marketing options, Tim provides a clear starting point: master your Google Business Profile before expanding to other channels. The strategy is refreshingly simple yet powerful: "Every homeowner is going to review me. I'm going to figure out how to get every homeowner to review me." Companies following this approach often surpass established competitors who neglect this fundamental step.Beyond tactics, Tim shares candid insights from scaling his own agency, including the challenges of building culture and the "law of the lid"—recognizing that a company's growth is limited by its leader's personal development. These lessons provide valuable perspective for contractors navigating their own growth journeys.Ready to transform your approach to digital marketing?

Friday marks four years since a Brooklyn Center police officer killed Daunte Wright, a young Black man, during a traffic stop. A month after his death, the city council passed a resolution outlining public safety reforms. It was named after Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler, who was killed by police in 2019. Activists say the city council is now backing away from the promises that were made four years ago. Katie Wright, the mother of Daunte Wright, and Amity Dimock, the mother of Kobe Dimock-Heisler joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about how they have become close as they've pushed for changes to policing in the city. The Brooklyn Center City Council is expected to vote Monday on whether to repeal the Community Violence Prevention and Public Safety Commission. The Minnesota Now team reached out to the mayor as well as the three city council members who have opposed the commission for comment. Two council members replied, but declined to give a statement.

Innocent until proven guilty is the backbone of our legal system, and yet, we don't actually operate that way anymore. People now are brought to trial and assumed guilty until absolute proof of innocence is given.  Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.  My guest today is James Porfido (Esq). James was a prominent prosecutor with decades of experience serving the state of New Jersey to defend it's citizens. Then, everything revealed it's ugly nature to an extent that could no longer be ignored. James became a criminal defense attorney and worked to represent those who found themselves wrongly accused and without proper representation. While you would think that both sides are working for the greater good, James was abandoned by many and chastised by more.  Join us as he explains the true inequality of the justice system, and what you can do to prevent yourself from being another wrongfully convicted statistic.( Www.Unequal-Justice.Com )  ( Www.PorfidoLaw.Com )  ( https://a.co/d/aI5T8ji will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "UNEQUAL JUSTICE: The Search for Truth to Balance the Scales" )  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyPqvYv87NM&ab_channel=REMSCAPE will take you to: Www.YouTube.Com "Every 15 Minutes | Madison High School" )  Let's ask for our lawyers before talking to anyone.   I could have easily spent all day talking to James about those major trials of: Casey Anthony, the Menendez Brothers, OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson, Harvey Weinstein, and Scott Peterson. In other news... April is rolling on, and the rankings are more regular:  1. The United States, with Oregon, Washington, and California now at the front. #WestCoastBestCoast  2. England of the United Kingdom.  3. Australia, with Queensland and Victoria all tied up.  4. Canada, with Ontario still on top.  5. New Zealand, back after some time away.  I always love seeing the list swings and changes as the show grows.  That's it for this week!

When I read that God “weighs the heart” (Proverbs 21:2), it made me wonder – what if He actually placed my thoughts and desires on a scale? Would it lean toward Him or toward me?

The jobs report came in over the weekend and President Trump added 228,000 jobs in March. That's about double what the experts and economist predicted, including 10,000 in manufacturing jobs while President Biden lost nearly 9,000 manufacturing jobs per month. Another $1.4 Billion in unused COVID funds will be returned to taxpayers through the department of Treasury. The tariffs are shaking up global markets as President Trump is trying to fix years worth of unfair trade practices. The deficit with China alone is $1 trillion and while China is not happy about the additional 34% tariffs implemented on their, President Trump is the only one to tackle this problem head on. Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary was on Meet The Press and explained how these cheap goods we get from China did not make Americans wealthy overall. Being a country that has relied on overseas manufacturing has created a real national security threat to the United States and moving manufacturing back home is the first step in fixing part of this problem. Outside of China, over 50 countries are already lining up to renegotiate tariff rates and making the country and attractive place to do business in is part of President Trump's America First agenda.

Discover how a world-traveling gold miner turns mobile home park wizard? In this power-packed episode, Bryce Robertson—owner of 23 mobile home parks and leader of $75M in assets—unpacks how he engineered a staggering 300% portfolio growth in a single year. Discover why Bryce ditched traditional asset classes for the overlooked powerhouse of mobile home parks, how his vertically integrated model drives cash flow from day one—even at 50% occupancy—and the surprising edge of his in-house financing structure. Investors and entrepreneurs, if you want to master scalable cash flow and recession-resilient strategies, this episode is your blueprint. 5 Key Takeaways from the Episode with Bryce RobertsonWhy Mobile Home Parks Are a Cash Flow Powerhouse Bryce breaks down why mobile home parks offer superior cash flow, low operating expenses (often under 20%), strong tax benefits, and a high demand for affordable housing—making them more profitable than many traditional asset classes.The Strategy Behind Buying 50% Occupied Parks Instead of avoiding underperforming assets, Bryce seeks them out. His team buys parks at 50% occupancy and leverages in-house construction, management, and financing to stabilize and fully lease them—often starting distributions just six weeks post-acquisition.In-House Financing as a Game-Changing Advantage Facing limitations with third-party lenders, Bryce launched an in-house mobile home financing arm. This gives him full control over scaling infill operations, offers flexible terms for tenants, and generates consistent 13% preferred returns paid monthly to investors.Fund-of-Funds Capital Raising That Attracts Bigger Checks Bryce details his fund-of-fund tier system that incentivizes capital partners with escalating preferred returns (up to 10%) and equity splits—leading to exponential growth in capital partnerships, from 3 to over 20 in a single year.Navigating the Industry Shift and Scaling with Less Competition As institutional interest drives up prices, Bryce thrives in a niche few dare to enter—large-scale, heavy value-add mobile home parks. With most buyers unable or unwilling to handle the complexity, his team wins deals with minimal competition and maximum upside.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 37The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastExciting New Exoplanet Discovery, Evolving Dark Energy, and Insights into the Moon's Magnetic FieldIn this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover the discovery of a potential new exoplanet, TOI 2818C, located over a thousand light years away in the constellation Papus. This intriguing planetary candidate is estimated to be 10 to 16 times the size of Earth and orbits its host star in less than 16 Earth days. We delve into the innovative transit timing variations method employed by astronomers, which revealed the presence of this companion planet alongside the hot Jupiter TOI 2818b, and discuss the implications for our understanding of planetary formation in hot Jupiter systems.Dark Energy's Mysterious EvolutionWe also explore a groundbreaking study suggesting that dark energy may be evolving over cosmic time scales. Utilizing data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), scientists are piecing together the largest three-dimensional map of the universe, revealing hints that dark energy's influence could be changing. This discovery could challenge current cosmological models and reshape our understanding of the universe's fate.Dynamic Lunar Magnetic FieldAdditionally, we examine findings from China's Chang'e 6 mission, which indicate that the Moon's magnetic field has been more dynamic and lasted longer than previously thought. The analysis of lunar samples reveals a resurgence of the magnetic field around 2.8 billion years ago, suggesting that the Moon's interior remains geologically active, challenging earlier beliefs about its magnetic history.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 37 for broadcast on 26 March 202500:49 Discovery of exoplanet TOI 2818C06:30 Transit timing variations method explained12:15 Implications for hot Jupiter planetary systems18:00 Evolving dark energy and the DESI findings22:45 Insights into the Moon's magnetic field dynamics27:00 Summary of recent astronomical discoveries30:15 Discussion on the health impacts of sugary beverageswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Zak is a 2L at Widener Delaware Law, and currently works as the Founder of Balancing the Scales. Zak's journey is a testament to not only taking opportunities, but making your own! Zak and I start prior to his arrival to Delaware Law, where Zak would participate in fascinating Pre-Law programs, being Eversheds Sutherland Scholar, as well as an Afro Scholar at Kirkland Ellis. These experiences would lay the foundations for his interest in Law School, as well as what he would want to do in the future, as they touched on all areas of the Law, with a wealth of experience. We then moved to Zak's first year of Law School, where it was extremely difficult but by leveraging the mentors and connections from the Pre-Law programs it allowed him to get a better understanding of the material. Zak would key in on how vital setting and sticking to your expectations and goals is in terms of grades. Zak would be in the top of his class, and they directly aligned to the action steps he was taking. During spring semester of his 1L year, after finding a lack of resources for pre-law and law students alike, Zak would take the initiative and found Balancing the Scales, a passion project and brainchild of Zak as he sought to "level the playing field" by increasing access to information and resources for diverse and first-generation law students. Through webinars, mentorship, networking events, and scholarship opportunities, the Balance The Scales platform is intended to do exactly what its name suggests.Finally, we went through Zak's internships and their impact on his future plans, finding areas that are interesting and intellectually challenging. Zak suggests to those going to Law School and those in it to send emails to professionals and build out a network of veteran lawyers to help and support them through their journey. This episode with Zak further shows how important it is to take the initiative and create opportunities for yourself that will pay dividends for the rest of your life!

Show Notes: Dori Yona, founder of Simple Closure, explains the process of shutting down a company. The process is painful, manual, and bureaucratic, with an average time of nine to 12 months. It can cost companies thousands of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees. Many companies end up doing it incorrectly, leading to fines and penalties. The Multiple Moving Parts of a Business Shut Down Dori explains that the main difficulty in shutting down a company is the coordination of multiple moving parts, such as the state of incorporation, IRS, lawyers, accountants, payroll provider, vendors, service providers, investors, payroll, and state departments. The average shutdown for a venture-backed company has about 95 moving parts, and if any of them are missed or not done correctly, the process can drag on and on. First Steps in Shutting Down a Business Dori talks about three typical approaches for a shutdown of a firm, which they categorize into three main “buckets”.  The first bucket is companies that reach out six to nine months before they need to shut down, as they are running out of cash and trying to raise another round or convince existing investors to invest more in their company. They want to be ready for what happens if it doesn't work out, so they reach out to the Simple Closure six months before to discover what the process involves. Dori mentions the Shut Down calculator his firm developed and put on their website to help business owners work through costs and assess the time they have left before going into the red and complicating the shut down. Bucket number two is when companies decide to shut down immediately, need quick media advice, need help presenting to the board, or with winding down the business. Bucket number three is when companies have shut down operationally six months or a year ago but never dealt with properly winding down the business. They may face penalties, fines, and liens on their personal property due to improper actions. The Financial Reality of Shutting Down a Business Dori emphasizes that it is not easy to walk away from a company, as it can come back and haunt the owner(s). He explains that while a corporate entity is there to protect board members, investors, and founders,  if certain things are not done properly, it can pierce the corporate veil, making the board and founders personally liable and potentially sued. The most common issue is wages, where an employee is owed wages and has not been paid. Companies should make sure that the proper winding up process is done to avoid loose ends and potential lawsuits from stakeholders, such as vendors, investors, state departments, and payroll departments. Dori also stresses the importance of considering investors during the shutdown process. Payroll Providers and the Shut Down Process  A company's shutdown process involves understanding the number of employees it has and how to properly shut down them. Dori uses a typical seed stage company as an example. This type of company usually has around 15 to 20 employees at its peak, with a few founders and one more engineer or person. To properly shut down the company, it is crucial to know who is currently on payroll, whether full-time or contractors, and how many employees the company had at its peak across different states and locations. Most startups use payroll providers, but they are not good at shutting down payroll accounts. When a company shuts down, they terminate the relationship between themselves and the payroll provider, this does not mean the payroll provider has closed down all accounts in all states. To help close out all accounts and notify all states, companies should ask for the HRIS census, which provides background and history of employees. Analyzing this data helps determine who is a past employee versus an active employee. The discussion explores the issue of 1099s for companies that are about to shut down, such as those in the US. Dori explains that the ultimate goal is to close out all accounts and notify all states, as every state operates differently and how to shut down accounts for active and non-active employees, and contractors. Technology that Automates and Scales the Shutdown Process The goal of Dori's company is to build a technology solution to automate and scale the process of closing out payroll departments. The company aims to be the TurboTax shutting down platform, providing a platform for companies to easily close out their payroll departments. He mentions that the company has built automations to automate various processes, such as faxes, phone calls, emails, and online forms. However, there are many AI solutions available today, such as outbound SDR and AI calls that can call in and provide basic account information. The company's goal is to develop a platform that allows companies to easily close out their payroll departments and help streamline and automate the process. Dori also talks about shutting down repeat services such as subscriptions.  Three Main Phases of a Company Shut Down The winding down of a company involves three main phases: dissolution, wind up, and shut down. In Delaware, the first phase involves notifying the state and other entities, such as shareholders, board, and employees, about the decision to shut down the company. This involves notifying the state, preparing franchise taxes, filing the certificate of dissolution, and canceling the EIN. The second phase is the winding up phase, which involves unwinding payroll, paying out vendors, collecting invoices, and dealing with accounts receivable and payable. After the dissolution phase, the company must file a final tax return, distribute any remaining money to investors or creditors, and close out bank accounts. The third phase is the shutdown phase, which involves closing out bank accounts and sending out certificates of closure to investors and shareholders. It's important to have an export of all contracts with vendors and understand their options for cancellation. This process depends on the type of vendor and the company's capital. Dori shares information on how to deal with vendors during the shut down process. The Legal Requirements of Data Retention  The conversation turns to the importance of data retention and the value of company data and IP. Dori talks about the importance of understanding the industry and company type, such as healthcare companies needing to keep patient records for seven years post-shutdown. Dori recommends using data custodians to store these records in a safe place, adhering to protocols and encryption levels. He also discusses the need for tokenization around the store to ensure a safe and secure process. On the IP side, Dori explains how founders can monetize their IP after the company shuts down. Delaware law states that winding down the business should maximize value for shareholders, as it is the shareholders' company. They can either acquire the IP or sell it, depending on the situation. They also support the process of repurposing IP, which can take various forms, such as acquiring a domain or selling the domain. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of considering the legal requirements and the value of IP in the business world. Sale of Data during a Business Shut Down The discussion revolves around the process of closing a company, including the sale of data, intellectual property, patents, and code base. A platform called Simple Closing offers buyers to buy assets of companies shutting down, making the process as simple and streamlined as possible. Tax reporting and other tasks are prepaid by the accountant or accounting firm, but the final stage involves closing the bank account, paying off vendors, and sending out final checks to investors.The final stage involves record retention, notifying the IRS about the shutdown, and distributing funds to investors. This process is methodical and involves a waterfall calculation to determine the amount each person should receive back. This calculation is done on a pro rata basis, and after paying all taxes and closing the company, the money is wired out and distributed back to investors. The Final Stage of a Company Shut Down The final stage involves closing the bank account, paying off vendors, and sending out final checks to investors, record retention, payment of vendors, and distribution of funds. The final stage involves tying up loose ends and ensuring accurate distribution of funds to investors. Dori explains the process of closing a business, particularly when it comes to payroll, and the challenges faced by founders, such as filing quarterly taxes and dealing with payroll issues. He also talks about the importance of estimating the involvement and duration of founders, such as prepaying themselves with severance packages or bulk sums and why waterfall calculations must be done and how they work.  The Simple Closure Company Explained Dori talks about Simple Closure, an online platform that helps founders and operators in the unfortunate position of wanting to shut down their firm. Their mission is not to shut down companies, but to help founders and operators have the peace of mind to move on to what's next. They believe that entrepreneurship is a community of repeat founders and businesses, and the faster they can get founders back on their feet, the more mind space they can give them to build and find their next job. He shares his company's go-to market, which includes referrals from venture-backed firms or inbounds from their website. He explains that they invest in partnerships to meet customers at the right moment in time and build trust with them. The company aims to partner with companies, firms, or entities, such as venture-backed firms, to help them navigate the process and ensure their brand reputation is built.
