Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Katelyn Rhoades. Shared how she transformed a $750-per-month social media side hustle into a seven-figure business. As a visibility strategist and founder of Influence Marketing Studio, she explained how entrepreneurs can leverage social media, personal branding, and consistent content creation to build audiences, create opportunities, and generate revenue. Her story demonstrates that location, background, and resources are no longer major barriers to success when visibility and digital platforms are used strategically. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Show how social media can be used to create business opportunities. Teach entrepreneurs the importance of visibility and personal branding. Demonstrate how a side hustle can become a scalable business. Help listeners understand the fundamentals of social media marketing. Inspire people to overcome fear and take action on their business ideas. Explain how content creation can lead to multiple streams of income. Key Takeaways 1. Visibility Creates Opportunity Katelyn's central message is that people cannot buy from, hire, or recommend someone they do not know exists. By consistently showing up online and sharing expertise, entrepreneurs can attract clients, partnerships, media opportunities, and new revenue streams. 2. Start Before You're Ready Katelyn did not begin with a detailed business plan, funding, or a built-in audience. She started by sharing simple social media marketing tips online and learning through action. Her success came from consistent execution rather than waiting for perfect conditions. 3. Social Media Is the Most Accessible Marketing Tool She stressed that platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube provide entrepreneurs with free access to large audiences. People can build businesses simply by sharing valuable knowledge and expertise consistently. 4. Focus on One Platform First Rather than trying to master every social channel simultaneously, Katelyn recommends choosing one platform and becoming exceptionally good at it. This focused approach allows entrepreneurs to learn faster and build authority more quickly. 5. Monetization Begins by Solving Problems As her audience grew, followers began asking her questions about social media growth. Instead of continuing to answer those questions for free, she packaged her expertise into paid consulting services and coaching calls. Her success shows that demand often reveals itself through audience questions. 6. Learn Skills Using Free Resources Katelyn emphasized that modern entrepreneurs have access to unprecedented learning opportunities through: YouTube AI tools Online tutorials Free educational content She believes anyone can acquire valuable skills if they are willing to invest the time. 7. Multiple Revenue Streams Grow Naturally What started as social media management evolved into: Agency services Coaching Content creation Brand partnerships Sponsored content Podcasting Digital products She views business growth as a domino effect where visibility creates additional opportunities. 8. Organic Marketing Still Works Unlike many marketers who rely heavily on paid advertising, Katelyn built her business largely through organic content and relationship-building. Her strategy focuses on: Authenticity Consistency Audience engagement Value-driven content 9. Almost Any Interest Can Become a Business One of her strongest points was that people often dismiss their expertise or hobbies as insignificant. Katelyn believes there is an audience for nearly every niche, provided there is genuine demand and a clear way to help people. 10. Mistakes Are Part of Success Katelyn openly discussed her challenges, including: Navigating a lawsuit related to content usage Learning copyright rules Hiring mistakes Holding on to employees too long She credits those experiences with making her a stronger entrepreneur. Key Themes Entrepreneurship Through Visibility The interview repeatedly underscores the idea that online visibility is no longer optional for entrepreneurs seeking growth. Personal Branding Building a recognizable personal brand can create opportunities that extend far beyond an initial service offering. Action Over Perfection Taking imperfect action consistently is more valuable than waiting for the perfect plan. Audience-Driven Business Creation Successful entrepreneurs listen closely to what their audience is asking for and create solutions accordingly.

Interview with Darrin Campbell, President & CEO of Namibia Critical Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/namibia-critical-metals-tsxvnmi-japan-backed-path-to-dfs-in-q2-2027-9891Recording date: 13th August 2026Namibia Critical Metals (TSXV:NMI) has reached a pivotal moment in the development of its Lofdal Heavy Rare Earth Project in Namibia. In July 2026, the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) and Toyota Tsusho Corporation completed a C$23 million earn-in commitment, roughly 18 months ahead of the original March 2028 schedule, securing a combined 50% participating interest in the project. The two partners formed TJ Namibia Rare Earths Corporation (TJNREC) to hold that interest, and JOGMEC has separately committed up to C$47.668 million (approximately ¥5.5 billion) to capitalise the new entity, funding Lofdal through Definitive Feasibility Study completion and toward a Final Investment Decision.Critically, all project funding from this point forward is structured as non-interest-bearing, non-dilutive Pre-FID Capital Funding - a mechanism CEO Darrin Campbell described as a temporary free carry that removes near-term financing risk without forcing Namibia Critical Metals to make a dilution decision until FID itself. The company retains the option to participate at up to 45% ownership or dilute to a carried floor of 21%, with management signalling a preference to retain maximum exposure given the project's economics.The economics, laid out in a December 2025 PFS, show a 13-year mine life producing 2,000 tonnes of total rare earth oxide annually, including significant dysprosium, terbium and yttrium output. A base case using moderate pricing generates a $275 million after-tax NPV and 19% IRR on $348 million of capex; a divergent case reflecting the elevated non-Chinese pricing seen over the past 18 months delivers a $748 million after-tax NPV and 35% IRR. Campbell noted current market conditions increasingly resemble the divergent scenario.Technical work continues in parallel. A 13,000-metre, 83-hole drill programme launched in June 2026 is targeting a maiden resource at the Area 5 xenotime system, the project's first deep test hole at Area 4 to approximately 800 metres for underground mining studies, and infill drilling at Area 2B. SGS has been awarded pilot-scale flotation and hydrometallurgical testwork contracts aimed at producing separated - rather than mixed - light and heavy rare earth products, which Campbell said better matches offtaker demand. A DFS completion target of Q3 2027 is intended to lead into an FID shortly after.Despite this de-risking and the depth of sovereign-industrial backing, Campbell argues the market continues to price Lofdal as an early-stage exploration story, at roughly 0.15-0.2x price-to-NAV versus 0.4-0.8x for comparable PFS/DFS-stage peers. He attributes the gap to thin liquidity, minimal institutional coverage as the company has not needed to raise meaningful capital in six years due to JOGMEC funding, and market confusion over the earn-in's dilution mechanics. Final offtake pricing terms with the Japanese consortium remain under negotiation, representing a further catalyst to watch as the project approaches FID.View Namibia Critical Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/namibia-critical-metals-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

America's border has undergone one of the most dramatic turnarounds in modern history. In this exclusive conversation, Border Czar Tom Homan joins Erick Stakelbeck from the White House to reveal how the Trump administration transformed what was once the worst border crisis in U.S. history into what Homan calls the most secure southern border America has ever had. Homan explains why catch-and-release is over, illegal crossings have plummeted, and ICE is conducting record numbers of arrests and deportations despite unprecedented political opposition, lawsuits, and attacks against federal agents. He also addresses the misinformation surrounding immigration enforcement and why he believes the American people deserve to hear what is actually happening on the ground. Homan delivers a blunt message: America's border is finally under control—but the work isn't finished. From the search for nearly 150,000 missing migrant children and the ongoing effort to locate every one of them to the dismantling the cartels to removing dangerous criminal aliens and protecting the homeland from terrorist threats, he says the mission now is to finish what was started. The border is secure. The cartels are hurting. And America is taking its sovereignty back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Salvation isn't the finish line — it's the seed. In this message, we dig into what it actually looks like to grow into full maturity in Christ: how God, like a patient gardener, deliberately creates the conditions around us — the seasons of ease, the seasons of struggle — for our formation to reach its full potential. But formation isn't something that just happens to us. We'll look at how our own response to those conditions — our belief or disbelief, our action or inaction — shapes what actually grows in us, using Jesus's own path of surrender as the model, and a personal story of miracles, doubt, and learning to be formed by God's voice instead of what we can see.

Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports Keiko Fujimori has secured the Peruvian presidency by a narrow margin, inheriting a nation plagued by organized crime and Chinese influence. Fujimori faces an immediate crisis with the expected arrival of El Niño in September, which threatens the fishing industry and may cause floods. Transnational criminal organizations involved in extortion and illegal mining present a strategic threat to property rights and small businesses. Additionally, China's construction of the Chancay port and heavy mining investments have granted Beijing significant political leverage. Fujimori must now balance these economic realities while attempting to restore the rule of law. (8)

Episode # 312 of the Pool Nation Podcast. What if one simple conversation could increase your average ticket by 30-40%? In this episode of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar De Jesus and John "JJ Flawless" sit down with Joe Garcia of Lyon Financial to break down one of the most overlooked opportunities in the swimming pool industry: financing. Whether you're a pool builder, service company, repair technician, remodeler, or equipment installer, financing isn't just for new pool construction anymore. Joe shares how successful pool companies are using financing to help homeowners upgrade pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems, sanitization equipment, complete equipment pads, backyard projects, outdoor living spaces, and much more. The conversation goes far beyond loans. You'll learn how financing can increase customer trust, improve your closing percentage, raise your average invoice, and help homeowners invest in better equipment without putting unnecessary pressure on their budget.

Thanks to our partners Promotive, WickedFile, Maverick Shop Owners, and OverdryveYou need money. Maybe it's to cover payroll this week, maybe it's to buy the alignment rack you've been eyeing for a year. Either way, Hunt Demarest, CPA, says the loan you should get depends entirely on two questions banks are already asking about you: do you have cash flow, and do you have collateral?In this solo follow-up to his cash reserves series, Hunt breaks down every borrowing option available to auto repair shop owners and ranks them from cheapest to most dangerous. He walks through real client scenarios — equity in your building, financing new equipment, strong profits with nothing to put up as collateral — and explains exactly what to say (and not say) when you sit down with a bank. He closes with a hard look at credit card advance loans: why they're marketed as easy money, why the interest rate isn't actually what traps shop owners, and why the repayment period is the real killer.Whether you're planning a purchase a year out or you need cash this month, this episode gives you the vocabulary and the game plan to borrow smarter.What You'll Learn...00:00 Intro: wrapping up the cash conversation with how to actually get the money03:46 Secured vs. unsecured debt, and why one always beats the other on rate06:10 The two things every bank is really looking for: cash flow and collateral07:12 Scenario: You're out of cash, but your building has equity07:57 Refinance or borrow against it?

Before the internet could become a place to bank or transact, it needed a way for strangers to know who they were talking to, and whether a message could be trusted. Turing Award winners Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman helped invent it. In this episode of First Principles, Rivest tells the story of how they developed RSA, the first practical public-key cryptosystem. Their breakthrough made it possible to encrypt information, verify identities, and authenticate messages across an open network without requiring participants to meet or exchange a secret in advance — laying essential groundwork for the secure internet and, decades later, blockchains. Rivest joins Tim Roughgarden, Head of Research at a16z crypto and Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University, and Dan Boneh — Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, a16z crypto Senior Research Advisor, and the “B” in BLS signatures — for a conversation about the origins and future of modern cryptography. They trace the field from its early days, when most cryptographic research was classified and even the meaning of “security” had not been formally defined, through the publication of the Diffie-Hellman paper and the open problem that ultimately led to RSA. Rivest recounts the night the core idea came together, why the difficulty of factoring made the system plausible, and why no one initially knew whether it would survive sustained attempts to break it. The conversation also explores the other cryptographic primitives that underpin blockchains and the modern internet. Rivest explains why digital signatures interested him even more than encryption, how he designed the MD family of cryptographic hash functions, and why standards such as RSA, DSA, and SHA were shaped as much by politics, patents, and government pressure as by mathematics. Finally, Rivest shares his unusually candid views on quantum computing, post-quantum security, and the deeper theoretical possibility that P could equal NP. Either development could threaten the foundations of modern cryptography — but, as Rivest argues, cryptographers have a responsibility to prepare for even the worst-case scenarios. Highlights 00:00 – Intro: the two problems that could break modern cryptography 01:10 – Why Ron Rivest's work underpins the internet and blockchains 08:10 – Before public-key cryptography, there was no theory of security 11:05 – The open problem that led to RSA 13:55 – The night Ron Rivest discovered the core idea behind RSA 17:55 – Why digital signatures were the real breakthrough 19:14 – The RSA challenge — and a prediction that was off by quadrillions of years 28:33 – How government pressure shaped cryptographic standards 30:36 – Designing the hash functions that made digital signatures practical 33:26 – The Fiat–Shamir transformation, explained 38:04 – Building a cryptography company before the web existed 42:31 – Will quantum computers ever become powerful enough to break RSA? 48:02 – The cryptography securing the internet, elections, and everyday life 50:11 – What surprised Dan: Quantum giveth and quantum taketh away About First Principles First Principles is a special limited series from a16z crypto about the scientific roots of modern computing — especially blockchains — told through rare conversations with the pioneers who helped shape the foundational ideas behind distributed systems, consensus protocols, economics, mechanism design, cryptography, zero knowledge, and more. People often tell the story of the Bitcoin whitepaper as if it appeared out of nowhere. But the ideas behind Bitcoin — and blockchains more broadly — come from decades of computer science, economics, mathematics, and cryptography. First Principles is a guide to that lineage, as told by the people who helped build it.

A Landslide Victory and the Birth of a New Era Guest: David Pietrusza Warren G. Harding secured one of the most lopsided victories in history, winning 60% of the popular vote and 404 electoral votes. His victory was fueled by modern advertising techniques, including celebrity endorsements from stars like Al Jolson. On election night, Americans received results through early radio broadcasts and by having numbers projected onto the walls of newspaper offices. While history often views Harding as a weak administrator, Pietrusza contends he was a strong politician who successfully focused on restructuring government and reducing national debt. His presidency ended abruptly with a fatal heart attack in 1923, leading to the famous midnight swearing-in of Calvin Coolidge by his father in Vermont. Coolidge's subsequent presidency was defined by his commitment to public service, modest living, and a philosophy of independent leadership that restored public trust in the executive branch.
