What if everything we thought we knew about running shoes, from energy return to performance enhancement, was wrong? Scott Tucker, the CEO of Vimazi is today's guest on Hilary Topper on Air. During the interview, I asked Scott some questions about Energy Return and Performance. Can you explain what made you question the conventional wisdom surrounding running shoes? You mentioned that the concept of energy return in running shoes, which many brands highlight as a key feature, is fundamentally flawed. Can you break down why this idea is scientifically incorrect? Most people believe that the energy return from shoes, thanks to materials like carbon plates and special foams, helps them run faster. Why do you say this is a misconception, and what is the real impact of these materials on performance? You've explained that the human body, with its multiple joints, doesn't behave like a rigid object. How does this biomechanical reality contradict the idea of energy return in shoes? If the energy from the shoe is balanced by the energy exerted by our muscles, leading to no net gain, why do so many people still feel like these shoes help them perform better? Could there be psychological factors at play? What are the potential risks for runners who rely on these supposed energy-returning shoes? How might they be inadvertently increasing stress on their muscles and tendons? You've designed a shoe technology that reduces the cumulative stress on muscles and tendons over time. Can you explain how your approach differs from traditional shoe designs, and what benefits runners can expect? With less cumulative stress from your shoe technology, how can runners expect this to impact their training and injury prevention in the long term? How do you see the future of running shoe design evolving now that we have a better understanding of these biomechanical realities? For runners who want to make informed decisions about their footwear, what advice would you give them to cut through the marketing noise and choose shoes that truly support their performance and health?

“I thought, ‘What if there's a way to insure the wealth?' That's all you want, is to protect future sources of income.” -Scott Tucker, USMA ‘02 Scott Tucker is a former Army Officer, a West Point graduate, and author of four books with unconventional ideas about military retirement, life, and wealth. He is the Founder of US VetWealth, a wealth management firm that offers access to safe investment strategies and helps military retirees create a "Private Pension" for their wealth so that they have more ownership of their assets, increased access to their money whenever they want it, and the ability to profit without additional rules, taxes, and fees. Scott has helped 100+ retiree high-income earners create a flexible and secure retirement with their unique benefits and pensions. In this episode, we discuss: Scott's journey of transitioning out of the Army, entering into the life insurance business, and finding his niche How Scott's personal health experiences intertwined with his success as an entrepreneur The new category of “wealth insurance” that Scott has created through his company, US VetWealth The unique strategies Scott implements to help military retirees protect their wealth Scott's goals for US VetWealth and how he envisions the company to grow When he was working in wealth management, Scott did not like the fact that he had to be all things to all people. That's what led to him finding his niche of using the life insurance investment model to help military retirees. He understood that, as career military officers retire, they need to change their financial strategy in order to make the most of their wealth. We learned a lot from Scott about the nuts and bolts of how someone can use life insurance to protect their wealth. Thanks for sharing with us, Scott!

On Under the Hood, Honda is gearing up for the Super GT series with its Civic Type R-GT, aiming to deliver "ultimate pure sports performance." The race car, developed from the road-legal Civic Type-R, is set to debut in the 2024 season, with shakedown tests scheduled for July 25 and 26. Meanwhile, Zenvo has revealed its extreme hypercar, the Aurora V12, boasting a 6.0-liter twin-turbo engine and two variants, Tur for road focus and Agil for high-downforce racing. However, accidents also make headlines, as a white Ferrari F8 Tributo crashed in Houston during a Cars & Coffee event, and a cargo ship carrying 3,000 cars, including Mercedes-Benz vehicles, caught fire off the Dutch coast. In the market, Nissan faces challenges with the 400z, selling less than 1000 units since its launch, while manual transmissions become scarcer, with only 20 models offering them in 2023. Mazda, on the other hand, decides not to participate in the horsepower war with Toyota and Subaru, focusing on the MX-5's balance and responsiveness. Additionally, Tesla faces scrutiny as it was discovered to have suppressed driving range complaints with a "Diversion Team" manipulating range estimates. On Bending the Rules, Scott Tucker, a race car driver and founder of Level 5 Racing, built a financial empire in payday loans, disregarding regulations and charging exorbitant interest rates of 400% to 700%. Tucker used the wealth he amassed from his payday lending business to fund his racing program for years. Despite his success on the track, Tucker's shady financial practices caught up with him. In 2017, he was convicted of 14 criminal counts related to his $2 billion payday lending company and sentenced to 16 years and 8 months in prison. Additionally, he was ordered to pay a $1.3 billion penalty to the Federal Trade Commission for his deceptive business practices. Despite his conviction, Tucker doesn't fully take responsibility and claims to be misunderstood. Ironically, he was featured on Netflix's show "Dirty Money," shedding light on his bending of the rules and unethical behavior both on and off the track.

If you think you could never come up with a different concept for running shoes, well then let me introduce you to the minds behind the latest shoe on the walls of local retailers, Vimazi Shoes. Vimazi is the first-ever pace-tuned shoe, designed for energy, or as they say on their website, “Goldilocks cushioning and an ultra-efficient push-off.”   Founders, Scott Tucker and John Zilly, join me today to share their inspiration and research behind this innovative new shoe design. I mean, what does it mean to be “pace tuned,” right?? Of course, I asked that question (and no I won't be running a 4-minute mile anytime soon just by wearing these shoes).   But more than the science and engineering, I loved talking with them about their extensive backgrounds, their passion for running and writing, and their friendship that has lasted for decades. They also talk about the challenges of launching a new running shoe brand during the pandemic in a crowded space. These are my people. The people who, in spite of all of the challenges and obstacles, get up every day and say, “We've got something good here.” In fact, they're in tune with what runners want and need.  From a 4-minute mile to a 20-minute mile, Vimazi is tuned to your needs.    https://vimazi.com/ - Vimazi website Follow Vimazi on Instagram - @vimazi Blog Post on How Vimazi Running Shoes Feel - and Why - https://vimazi.com/blogs/news/how-vimazi-running-shoes-feel  "I Could Never Do That" Website - https://www.podpage.com/icouldneverdothat/  "I Could Never Do That" Instagram - @icouldneverdothat Theme Music: Your Love by Atch -License: Creative Commons License - Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0)  Support the Podcast through BuyMeACoffee.com - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CarrieBarrett

This week on the Head Shepherd podcast, we're changing gears a little and chatting with author Michelle Scott Tucker.Having an audience of mostly sheep tragics, Mark thought the parallels between Michelles book, Elizabeth Macarthur: a life at the edge of the world; and our listeners was too good not to make the most of.Michelle tells us more about the wonderful Elizabeth Macarthur and the foundations of the Merino wool industry of Australia.  Elizabeths story begins in on a farm in North Devon, after marrying a not-strongly liked soldier named John Macarthur. In 1790, Elizabeth followed him to "make his fortune" in Australia- the only officers wife to go and what Michelle refers to as a "pretty stupid decision". June 1790 she arrived in Sydney Harbour excited to see this mythical township she'd been promised Australia held , and instead saw an army campsite of tents full of soldiers without shoes, food or women to talk to. In 1793, the Macarthurs got their first land grant of 100 acres in a place that is now called Parramatta.  They spent a few years working hard turning the place into a mixed farm. Livestock numbers were incredibly low so they had sheep but not in huge numbers.In 1801 John Macarthur was sent back to England to be court marshalled after shooting his commanding officer during a duel, and left Elizabeth to run the recently expanded farm alone with the youngest children.John escaped his court-marshalling in the UK and sweet-talked his way into supplying British wool mills with Australian wool, despite not having the sheep or the experience in importing wool. John also sweet talked his way into exporting a flock of the kings Merinos he'd purchased, despite export of them being illegal. He returned to Australia in 1905 with 5,000 acres and some "scrubby" fine wool sheep. But, nearly 4 years later John gets sent back to the UK after causing more political trouble. And so Elizabeth was left running the farm, and the wool export industry for the next 12 years. She was the first person to send commercial quantities of wool to England.-Although different to our usual podcasts, this is a fantastic relaxing listen. Michelles years of research into the beginning of the Australian wool industry, and much much more, is really commendable and enjoyable listening for any sheep tragic.

John Zilly, Co-Founder of Vimazi, joins the show's Host, (me) Run Coach Alli. Scott Tucker, Co-Founder of Vimazi, during a 6 am interval workout in 2017, had a brainstorm—shoes tuned to specific pace zones should respond more efficiently to the forces generated in running than non-tuned shoes. Scott conducted a research study with a team of scientists that proved the theory. He also discovered that tuning shoes by pace resulted in optimized cushioning. With solid data and a patent pending on the tech, Scott grabbed his high school running buddy John Zilly, a marathoner himself, and together they formed Vimazi. Right at its inception, it committed to championing the spirit of running for all runners. They've done that by pursuing the scientific truth about running forces and footwear, wherever it leads. They also champion runners by personalizing shoes according to pace. So every runner gets the shoe they need to feel their best.Today on the show, we discuss:The different types of shoes for different paces The process that forced John & Scott to relearn everything they thought they knew about running shoes to revolutionize a science-backed pace-tuned shoe that works best for you and your running needsIf you enjoyed this episode and want to hear more about distance running, mindset, and mental toughness for runners, please share your thoughts in the comments under the show notes.

Happy Fourth of July! Career military officers approaching retirement have a lot on their plate just to get out of the service as well as finding a second career. One of the things that is not really considered is whether to pursue an alternative to the Survivor Benefit Plan, which costs the retiree 6.5% of their retirement pay over 30 years and provides the surviving spouse with 55% of the member's retainer pay. In this episode, I talk with Scott Tucker, a USMA graduate and former Army officer, about this issue. If you are approaching retirement, I recommend you listen to this podcast so that you can thoughtfully make a decision as going the insurance route is something you need some lead time to consider.

This episode features husband and wife duo Scott Tucker and Jen Amos. Scott served 10 years in the US Army as an officer. Scott founded US VetWealth in January of 2012, offering financial services for career military families. Jen joined the business in 2016 as the Director of Community Relations. She's also the host of the award-winning podcast, Holding Down the Fort.Scott had always been interested in finance and he took a role in private wealth management right out of the military. The industry wasn't what he thought it would be, and he started looking into entrepreneurship. He set out to redefine the industry and help people capitalize on their finances to live the life they've always wanted.Jen is a Gold Star daughter. She has seen the ramifications of losing her father when she was 10 years old when her family was not financially prepared. Her father served in the US Navy and was on the USS Kitty Hawk and in October of 1988 he was missing at sea. Though no one know what happened and suicide was suspected, his death was listed as unknown so that her family could still receive benefits. She never discussed finances with her mother growing up. However, her mother was struggling financially and did not share this with her children. Part of what Jen does at US Vet Wealth is educating families in their benefits options, changing the way they view life insurance and teach them how to actively manage their money. One of the focuses of US VetWealth is educating service members and their families on alternatives to the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP). You can find more information about US VetWealth and their free resources at www.usvetwealth.com and you can find and subscribe to their YouTube channel at USVW TV - YouTube.One of the biggest lessons that Scott learned during his transition comes from one of his favorite books, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. One of those agreements was “be impeccable with your word.” What he learned was that he had integrity and honesty with everyone he interacted with. But he talks about the importance of being honest with YOURSELF. Ask yourself questions like are you happy, who are you and be honest with yourself. This is one of the things he discusses in his book “Veteran Wealth Secrets” which you can find on Amazon at Amazon.com: Veteran Wealth Secrets: The Post-Military Playbook for Obtaining Autonomy and Financial Control in the Modern Economy eBook : Tucker, Scott R.: Kindle Store.The episode ends with Jen talking about finances and benefits. She recommends having an open honest conversation with your spouse and family about the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP). Educate yourself on the options that are available to you, instead of just falling in line with what everyone else is doing. Don't think about it just for yourself and your family, think about the financial legacy you are leaving behind for the generations in your family. You can learn more at www.thespousebenefitplan.com. They created this program to honor the military spouse and their importance in the decision-making process about benefits programs that are selected at the end of your military service. You can connect with Jen Amos at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenamos/ and Scott Tucker at  https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottrtucker/SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A FIVE-STAR REVIEW and share this to other veterans who might need help as they transition from the military!Check our website at www.llforvets.com

Welcome to the second episode with Scott Tucker! This time, Scott joins us to chat about a topic that most employers may not be keen to talk about: asking for a raise. Having the market values in mind is always important, even though during the pandemic they have been changing constantly. Scott always rechecks them every few months to see that every employee is having a good number on their paychecks. As a manager, always be open to listening to your employee's reasons to get a raise; their explanations can show you things you might be missing out on. Employees need to understand how much it costs an employer to have them in the company, and that includes health insurance, retirement, in-office services, and more.  Tune in to this episode and understand the other side of the coin when it comes to raises in a company!

Scott Tucker wanted to build a scalable business since he was young. This is the fourth episode in our series on Billionaire Preparing for Prison. In the first episode, we learned why authorities chose to prosecute Scott Tucker. He build the payday loan industry. The business he built grew to employ thousands of people. He generated billions in financial revenues and taxes. He created enormous wealth. But authorities didn't like the model. Some people felt that he was earning too much money from people who could not afford to pay. Scott saw things differently. People in the marketplace were telling Scott that they needed liquidity. They just needed a bridge loan to help them get across the hump. They may have suffered from car trouble. They may have had an illness. They may need a short loan. Banks refused to lend to those people. Scott created a company that would fill the void. There was a lot of risk for that business. Many people chose to borrow money but they would not repay the loan. Scott didn't sue them. Instead, he just wrote off the loan. He created a system that would scale, expecting to cover the losses by operating at a scale. Scott's company launched the entire industry because he was innovative. He leveraged technology. With the Internet, he could provide people with short-term loans in a matter of minutes. Yet the interest rates he charged exposed him to problems. All that is clear at this stage is that a jury convicted scott of violating the Truth in Lending Act. As a result of the conviction, he faces multiple decades in federal prison. We recorded this fourth episode just before Christmas, in 2017. He is scheduled for sentencing on January 6, 2018.

Scott Tucker built a billion dollar business. He started with a single storefront. In this episode, the third episode in a multi-part series, we learn how. Despite his not being a good student, Scott Tucker always had ambition. Like many young entrepreneurs, he started with lawn mowing businesses that he launched as a child. While in college, Scott found an opportunity to get involved in real estate. Scouring the classified ads, he secured an opportunity that netted him more than $100,000 for six months work. Then he invested those resources to build other businesses. After a brief period in the car business, Scott discovered a new market. People were asking if they could provide him with a post dated check for a deposit. They needed a bit of liquidity until they received a paycheck. Scott decided to start a company. People could write a post-dated check for $120. It would not be good until the person's payday. Scott would give the person $100 in exchange for that post dated check. That was how the payday loan business began. Scott said that 1 out of 3 people who borrowed money for the first time chose not to repay the money. The business model had to build profits that would cover those anticipated losses. The strategy he deployed resulted in massive growth for the industry. It also resulted in massive amounts of revenues for his company, and employment for thousands of people. Unfortunately, the government did not like the industry. Scott went through numerous trials. As described in the first episodes of this series, a jury convicted Scott of violating various federal laws. It's a white collar crime, but he faces decades in prison.

Through hard work and building great teams, he built his company into mega organization. It employed thousands of people. His business generated billions in annual revenues. He earned hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Despite that success in business, Scott told us in episode 1 about his problems. He lost a case to the Federal Trade Commission. That case resulted in a judgment against him of more than $1 billion. Then a judge froze his assets. Without financial assets, Scott didn't have resources to pay for his attorneys at trial. A jury convicted him of violating the Truth in Lending Act. Since his conviction, Scott has been on home confinement. Living on home confinement has been a struggle for Scott. He spoke about the ways that he has been preparing for the journey ahead. He exercises relentlessly. Sometimes he rides his stationary bicycle for 60-mile durations. The commitment to fitness helps Scott deal with the stress of an upcoming sentencing hearing. Scott told us that the federal government has asked that he serve a sentence of more than 100 years. The probation officer recommended that lengthy sentence because she said that Scott's business generated more than $6 billion in losses.

He has been battled in courts for decades. But in 2016, decisions started to go against him. He found big financial troubles when the Federal Trade Commission levied a fine of more than $1 billion. The troubles didn't stop there. In early 2017, the federal government indicted Scott for violating a series of federal crimes. Those crimes included fraud and violations of the truth in lending act. As a result of his losing the judgment against the FTC, a judge froze all of Scott's assets. They even seized more than $30 million that he put in trust accounts to pay his legal fees. Without financial resources, the court appointed a team of attorneys from the public defenders panel t represent him. After eight weeks of trial, a jury convicted Scott on all counts. The jury rendered its decision after deliberating for only a few hours. As a result of the conviction, Scott faces decades in federal prison.
