This is a replay of a live Substack training. Because it was recorded live, you'll hear audience polling, chat Q&A, and time-sensitive references to the 30-day Substack Challenge and its bonuses, but the teaching inside is some of the most complete Kelly has shared on why Substack is working the way it is. Kelly only got on Substack to support a book deal, had zero intention of monetizing it, and then her VP of Marketing Krista realized the platform was a faster, easier way to do everything they already teach about trust-building offers and monetizing content. Seven months and six figures later, they're teaching it. Along the way, she and Danielle bust the biggest myths (it's just a newsletter, it only works if you teach business, it takes too much time), explain why their clients across every niche get paid so fast, and break down the number one mistake they made early on: not turning on monetization from day one. Danielle walks through the full-funnel case — how notes, articles, and campaigns let you do discoverability, nurture, and conversion all in one place, why you own your list, and why "the content is the product" changes everything. They close with the three things that make Substack structurally different from every other platform, and the details of the 30-day challenge built to get you your first (or next) 100 paid subscribers.

Field to Front Door – Episode 14 on selling direct, harvest, food prices and taking back controlToday we're back with Field to Front Door

Nick thought he was simply signing up for hot yoga—until he got a bizarre phone call claiming his sweat was suddenly in high demand. What starts as a strange offer to pay him hundreds of dollars a week quickly takes an incredibly creepy turn when he learns exactly what someone supposedly wants to do with all that sweat. Nick's reaction goes from confused to completely horrified as the caller reveals an outrageous Etsy side hustle involving sweat, candles, and his “earthy musky” aroma. But why would a yoga studio be doing this in the first place?Support the show: https://the-jubal-show.beehiiv.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"No data, no agent. Bad data, bad agent. Good data, good agent." Cris Mendes thinks data readiness is the number one reason the agentic enterprise fails, and he has the receipts — he ran the experiment on his own team before he sold it to anyone else.He's VP of Revenue at Momentum.io, acquired by Salesforce in large part because of the go-to-market motion he built there. Before that: Drift, Airtable, and LogMeIn. Before all of it, U.S. Navy search and rescue swimmer. I've known him almost twenty years and introduced him to LogMeIn myself, so take the enthusiasm here with whatever salt you need.His argument is that everyone is buying agents on top of a data layer that was never built. The average customer conversation moves about eight thousand words; maybe eight of them make it into the CRM. Companies don't have a first-party data layer, they have a human-input data layer — and that's what every agentic project quietly runs aground on.The story worth the listen: Momentum had a brutal drop-off after the first call. Rather than sampling a few calls and guessing at messaging or ICP, Cris pushed 800 first calls through deep research and got one answer back — the reps weren't prescribing a next step. So he had Momentum listen to the last ten minutes of every call and fire a clip into Slack whenever an AE either didn't prescribe or tried and missed. With humor, so it didn't read as surveillance. Prescription went through the roof. As he puts it: a team respects what you inspect, but you can't inspect everything — unless the inspecting is automated.WHAT WE COVER- Selling shovels in a gold rush, and why structured data was the bet- Why "not everything called an agent is an agent" — deciding vs. automating- The last ten minutes of a sales call as sacred ground, and how to enforce that at scale- Bringing AI into QBRs: "it got so real so fast" — no more recency bias and self-preservation dressed up as a forecast- 10x growth six quarters running, zero attrition, 95% of the team over quota — and why he credits hiring over product- Whether AI cuts headcount: expands capacity, thins middle management, and the ~10% of companies that are actually AI-forward are hiring hardest- Auto-advancing pipeline stages on deal milestones instead of trusting a rep's guess — "otherwise you're just buying something like Clari to miss your forecast very expensively"- His IDEC hiring model, and why he'd trade relevant experience for intrinsics every timeCONNECT WITH CRISLinkedIn: Cris Mendes — Cris with no H, Mendes with an SMomentum.io---The GOATS of Growth has two Founding Sponsor slots open — category exclusive, $1,250/mo, in front of GTM leaders and founders who don't answer their phones.

At just 18 years old, Jacob Diaz went from growing up in extreme poverty and foster care to helping manage a massive cocaine trafficking operation stretching from the Texas border to Florida. In this episode, Jacob explains how he started as a driver and translator before eventually handling logistics, coordinating drivers, collecting money, managing stash houses, and helping oversee the U.S. side of an operation connected to the Beltrán Leyva organization. At its peak, the network was moving dozens of kilos a week, with Jacob describing hundreds of kilos moving through individual customers and millions of dollars changing hands. Jacob breaks down how the operation stayed under the radar, how cocaine moved across the country, what life was like around cartel figures in Mexico, and the mistake that eventually brought federal investigators to his door. After being convicted on a federal cocaine conspiracy charge and serving more than seven years in prison, Jacob completely changed direction and built a legitimate business helping people repair their credit and access funding. This is the story of how a teenager went from homelessness and foster care to the center of a multimillion-dollar cocaine operation—and how it all came crashing down. Go Support Jacob!

Cory Dunham is an Executive Advisor, Business Growth Strategist, Speaker, and founder of Cory Dunham Advisory. He also serves as CEO of BDB Marketing Design, LLC.With more than 30 years of business and marketing experience, Cory helps service-based businesses grow through clearer messaging, stronger leadership alignment, and greater strategic consistency. His work focuses on closing the gap between the value a company delivers and how that value is seen, understood, trusted, and chosen in the marketplace.Cory brings a practical, people-centered approach to helping leaders strengthen communication, clarify positioning, align their teams, and create sustainable growth.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome Cory Dunham to explore why clarity, differentiation, and human connection are becoming increasingly important competitive advantages.Cory explains that differentiation isn't simply about having a better product or service. Sales professionals must clearly communicate meaningful value while leaning into what technology cannot replicate—their stories, experiences, lessons, relationships, and human presence.Drawing from his experience as a private pilot, Cory shares lessons about self-awareness, situational awareness, and making the next best decision when circumstances become overwhelming. The conversation also explores how sales professionals can use AI, video, podcasts, and social media to become more human and visible—not less.Ultimately, Cory challenges salespeople to stop adding to the noise and get clear about who they serve, what customers value, and why they deserve a place at the table.KEY TAKEAWAYSClarity is a competitive advantage. Know who you serve, what they value, and how you create meaningful results.Your humanity is your differentiation. AI cannot replicate your experiences, stories, relationships, or perspective. Ask instead of assuming. Better questions and intentional listening reveal what truly matters to buyers. Use technology to humanize yourself. Let digital tools increase your visibility without replacing genuine connection. AI cannot fix confusion. Technology won't solve unclear messaging, positioning, leadership, or strategy. Make the next best decision. You don't always need every answer—you need enough awareness to determine the next right move. Meaningful value earns attention. Clearly articulating your value helps build trust and earn a place at the table. HIGHLIGHT QUOTESIn any given moment, you have the capacity to make the next best step.Two ears, one mouth. Let's use them in that proportion.No one has the exact story or has walked in your shoes one step.I think we're just all built as human beings to connect with other human beings.Clarity, clarity, and more clarity, both personally and professionally.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

Paul Kesig honed his sales coaching skills across multiple segments of the healthcare industry, but his insights apply to any products or services a business owner or entrepreneur offers. Paul uses the acronym L.O.V.E. to encapsulate his proven approach to sales. L is for setting and celebrating little wins. O is for asking open-ended questions. V is for creating and communicating value. And E is for building an emotional connection. He is the author of How to LOVE Sales: A Framework to Build Confidence and Success. Pairing love and sales as a strategy for success may at first strike many professionals as contradictory, Paul admits, since so many people hate the sales process. Yet as he explains, those who adopt his approach will discover that LOVE really can spell success.  Monday Morning Radio, now in its 15th season, is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

is Substack right for me? In this episode, Kelly gives you a clear, honest framework to answer it yourself, because Substack is not for everyone.

Stephen Somers is the founder of Marketplace Superheroes, an online education company that has helped more than 10,000 people build side incomes by selling on Amazon and Whatnot. After starting his career as a data processor in Dublin, Ireland, Stephen built a multi-seven-figure Amazon business alongside his sister and CEO, Lisa Summers. Today, he has sold more than $40 million worth of products, coaching, software, and services and has recently helped his team generate nearly $500,000 in trading card sales on Whatnot. In this episode, Stephen shares how he escaped the traditional 9-to-5 path, built a successful online business, and found new opportunities in live-commerce marketplaces. On this episode we talk about: Why Stephen chose entrepreneurship after realizing the traditional career path wasn't for him How he got his start selling physical products on eBay and Amazon with almost no startup capital Why you don't need to invent a groundbreaking idea to build a successful business How entrepreneurs can find opportunities by getting better at one specific part of an established business model How Whatnot's live-shopping and auction model works and how Stephen's team is making money selling Pokémon trading cards Top 3 Takeaways You don't need a revolutionary idea to make money. Some of the best businesses are built around simple, established products or services with one part of the process executed exceptionally well. Marketplaces can eliminate some of the hardest parts of starting a business. Selling through platforms like Amazon and Whatnot gives entrepreneurs access to customers who are already looking to buy, allowing them to focus on sourcing products and selling effectively. Entrepreneurship is ultimately about buying yourself more choice. Stephen views financial success less as accumulating money and more as creating the freedom to decide how he spends his time, works, and lives. Notable Quotes "The best businesses are actually like just really obvious crap that you just do it a bit better." "We're trying to buy choice as well. And we're trying to trade so we can get choices." "You don't have to go out and reinvent the wheel. You just have to, you know, put a different spoke on it."

Selling products doesn't have to feel awkward or salesy. In this episode of Fully Booked, Elicia Crook shares simple strategies for recommending products you genuinely use, love, and believe can help your clients.  Host: Elicia Crook is a business coach and mentor for massage therapists, sharing the tactics she used to create her business success over 16 years. She is a diploma-qualified remedial massage therapist, using modalities such as Bowen and craniosacral therapy, and has a Cert IV in Workplace Training and Assessment, which she used while teaching massage for several years.

Now she takes the Fully Booked Without Burnout blueprint to other therapists around the world to create more success and passion. For more information, visit https://healthleaderco.com/ Resources: I love being a massage therapist, but there was a point where I'd realized I'd built a really busy practice and also accidentally built a business that completely relied on me. If I didn't treat, I didn't earn, and I knew I wanted more, more income, more impact, more freedom, but mostly more choice. I didn't wanna stop being a therapist. I wanted to build a business that supported the life I actually wanted, and learning how to think like a business owner changed everything for me, and that's why I created Mastery. So if you love what you do, but there's a part of you thinking, "I know my business could be more than this," book a Mastery call.

A Note from James:In 1790, one of the easiest ways to get rich in America was the old-fashioned way: marry someone rich.George Washington did pretty well that way. Benjamin Franklin, meanwhile, was so deep in debt that he offered to marry a woman if her parents would mortgage their house to pay off his printing press debt. When they said no, he married someone else who had money.And back then, debt was not just annoying. It could land you in debtor's prison. Actual prison. And not just you—your wife and kids could go too.Fast-forward to the 1900s, and most Americans still were not buying stocks. Only a tiny percentage owned shares. Everyday people were gambling, playing the numbers, using dream-interpretation books to decide what lottery number to play, and trying to find some edge that would move them a little closer to security.My guest today, Joseph Moore, literally wrote the book on this: How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't).The book is full of strange, funny, surprising stories about money in America: Franklin, Washington, debtor's prison, the Great Depression, bucket shops, real estate booms, FIRE, crypto, debt, index funds, and all the scams people keep falling for.But the bigger lesson is that the basic patterns have not changed as much as we think.People want security. People want freedom. People want hope. People want a way out. And whenever there is hope, there is usually someone selling a formula.Joseph has very little patience for the usual personal finance myths. Debt does not make you rich. Opportunity makes you rich. Real estate is not always a magic wealth machine. The stock market was not designed to be everyone's retirement plan. FIRE can work, but it can also become the CrossFit of personal finance. And optimism, marriage, mobility, risk, and solving other people's problems may matter more than almost anything else.If you think the rules for getting rich have changed completely, this conversation may convince you how little human nature has changed.Episode Description:Joseph Moore joins James to talk about the long, strange history of getting rich in America.His book, How to Get Rich in American History, looks at 300 years of financial advice—what worked, what failed, what people kept repeating, and what today's money culture keeps forgetting.The conversation starts in 1790, with George Washington, Martha Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Stephen Girard, debt, leverage, and debtor's prison. Joseph explains that many early American fortunes were built through risk, borrowed money, marriage, luck, and then—critically—de-leveraging over time.That becomes one of the core lessons of the episode: debt does not make people rich. Opportunity does. Debt is only a tool that allows someone to grab more of an opportunity than they otherwise could. But if the opportunity is not real, or the person cannot handle the risk, debt destroys them.James and Joseph then move into real estate. Joseph argues that real estate is a good way to build a modest middle-class fortune, but not usually the path to the biggest fortunes. In modern America, he says, real estate often functions as a short on the dollar, an income annuity in a low-dividend world, a tax shelter, and a way for ordinary people to use leverage they could not access anywhere else. But that does not make buying a house automatically smart. Renting versus buying depends on age, mobility, location, family needs, inflation, taxes, maintenance, transaction costs, and opportunity cost.The conversation then turns to the stock market. Joseph challenges the usual historical charts that claim anyone could have invested a fixed sum in 1929 and held forever. Most Americans could not invest that way. There were no index funds, mutual funds had high fees, and buying an index directly required enormous capital. Instead, everyday people went to bucket shops, bet on price moves, played the numbers, and treated gambling as a kind of financial hope.James and Joseph also discuss passive investing, shadow indexing, the rise of ETFs and 401(k)s, and the way the stock market has become a mass retirement promise. Joseph points out that this is historically new. For most of American history, no ordinary person would have expected to retire on the stock market.From there, the episode moves to FIRE: financial independence, retire early. Joseph has lived part of that story himself. He built enough wealth through rental real estate after 2008 to stop working for a period, only to discover that early retirement was not automatically fulfilling. He compares FIRE to CrossFit: extreme, demanding, sometimes powerful, sometimes injurious, and not a lifestyle most people actually want.The final section asks the big question: What has consistently worked?Joseph boils the lessons down to five pillars: solve other people's problems, take risks, move toward opportunity, marry well, and believe you can. James adds that optimism matters because it keeps people in the game long enough to get more shots on goal.The result is a conversation about money, but also about history, risk, luck, marriage, mobility, discipline, scams, and the difference between getting rich and staying rich.What You'll Learn:Why early American wealth often involved marriage, leverage, luck, and risk.How George Washington's marriage to Martha helped fund the Washington we remember.Why Benjamin Franklin's public advice about debt did not match his own early financial behavior.What debtor's prison meant in early America, including the risk to families.Why debt is a tool, not a wealth strategy by itself.Why opportunity—not debt—is what actually makes people rich.Why real estate can build middle-class wealth but rarely creates the biggest fortunes.How buying a home can reduce mobility and opportunity, especially for younger people.Why renting versus buying is situational, not a universal rule.Why most Americans historically could not invest in the stock market the way modern charts imply.What bucket shops and “the numbers” reveal about everyday financial hope.How passive investing changed the purpose of the stock market.Why stock-market concentration is not new, but mass participation is.Why FIRE can work mathematically and still fail psychologically.How older financial-independence stories often hid trust funds, inheritances, or outside support.Why inflation is one of the biggest risks to early retirement.Why getting rich and staying rich require different behavior.Why successful people often take risk early and reduce risk later.Why optimism is financially useful when it keeps people in the game.The five recurring pillars Joseph sees across American wealth-building history.Timestamped Chapters:[05:00] How to Get Rich in 1790James asks Joseph how someone got rich in early America, starting with George Washington, Martha Washington, and marriage as a financial strategy.[07:24] Stephen Girard and Benjamin Franklin's DebtJoseph compares Stephen Girard's leveraged rise with Franklin's messy early business debts.[10:29] Debt Does Not Make You RichJoseph explains that opportunity creates wealth, while debt simply lets someone reach for more of that opportunity.[11:23] Debtor's Prison Was RealJoseph explains why failing in the 1790s could mean prison not only for the debtor, but for the debtor's family.[12:25] The Real Estate MythJoseph argues that real estate can build modest wealth, but rarely creates the biggest fortunes.[13:43] Real Estate as a Short on the DollarJoseph explains modern real estate as an inflation bet, income annuity, tax shelter, and leverage tool.[15:22] You Need an EdgeJames argues that every bet has someone on the other side, which means investors need to know what their advantage actually is.[16:18] Beating the Market, Missing the MomentJoseph tells the story of shorting Jim Cramer stock pops, beating the market net of theory, losing to fees, and missing his daughter's first steps.[19:56] Shadow Passive InvestingJames and Joseph discuss hedge funds, index tracking, fees, and the way much of Wall Street quietly follows the same big benchmarks.[20:31] The Index RevolutionJoseph explains why Vanguard's 1976 index fund changed investing for ordinary Americans—and why passive investing may create new structural risks.[24:24] The Four Percent of Stocks That MatterJames and Joseph discuss stock-market returns, T-bills, concentration, and why a small number of companies drive most gains.[25:16] The Second Bank CrashJoseph compares modern market concentration to the 1830s, when the Second Bank of the United States made up a huge share of the stock market before collapsing.[26:21] The Stock Market as a Retirement PromiseJoseph explains why turning the stock market into a mass retirement strategy is historically new.[29:58] The Problem With “The Chart”Joseph criticizes the classic financial-advisor chart that assumes someone in 1929 invested a large sum, held forever, and never touched it.[31:17] Bucket Shops and Playing the NumbersJoseph explains how everyday people used gambling, bucket shops, and lottery-like games as financial hope when stock ownership was out of reach.[34:04] The Mean Moves Through TimeJoseph explains why history is not physics and why the “average” keeps changing as the economy changes.[35:49] Renting vs. BuyingJames and Joseph debate the homeownership myth, maintenance, taxes, transaction costs, mobility, family stability, and when buying can make sense.[41:02] FIRE and the Question of EnoughJames asks how much is enough in 2026, and Joseph explains why the answer depends on location, expectations, security, and lifestyle.[44:24] FIRE as the CrossFit of Personal FinanceJoseph compares FIRE to an extreme discipline that can work for some people but injure others if they push too hard.[45:38] Geoarbitrage and Selling the DreamJames and Joseph discuss moving somewhere cheaper, Instagram FIRE influencers, and the difference between living the dream and monetizing the dream.[46:00] The Long History of Financial IndependenceJoseph traces earlier versions of FIRE through Sylvester Judd, Thoreau, Emerson, and Helen and Scott Nearing.[49:17] Inflation and the FIRE RiskJoseph explains how Your Money or Your Life and bond-heavy financial independence strategies ran into changing interest-rate realities.[50:23] Five Pillars of Getting RichJoseph lays out the durable lessons: solve problems, take risks, move more, marry well, and believe you can.[53:43] Marriage, Optimism, and Staying in the GameJames and Joseph talk about supportive partnership, optimism, savings discipline, and why staying in the game increases opportunity.[56:11] The Line Between Optimism and RecklessnessJoseph distinguishes productive optimism from gambling and explains why control over outcomes matters.[58:28] Getting Rich vs. Staying RichJoseph explains why many wealthy people take risk early, then de-lever over time to keep what they built.[01:00:00] Leverage, Trading, and the Guy Who Never StopsJames and Joseph discuss extreme leverage, Bitcoin futures, Jesse Livermore, gamblers, and why some people cannot walk away.Additional Resources:Joseph Moore - History HelpsHow to Get Rich in American History - Book PageHow to Get Rich in American

Scott Gussin grew up in New York, lost his mother at seven years old in a moment that changed the direction of everything that followed, fell into selling weed and hash and LSD coming of age in the 1960s and 70s, and eventually built one of the most specific and most audacious international drug smuggling operations available — bringing hash from Morocco to the United States across a career that spanned thirty years before it finally ended. _____________________________________________ #crimestory #drugsmugglers #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________ Buy Scott's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Gus-All-Years-Combined-Samson/dp/B0H34MTKSV _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick:  https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Roadblock with hash on board 00:37 Guest intro: Scott's story 00:57 Growing up in Portchester 01:21 Losing his mom at 7 03:37 A parade of housekeepers 06:59 The housekeepers get weird 08:03 Getting into weed at 15 10:42 Meeting Reuben and the LSD 13:58 Hash vs. weed explained 17:28 Pricing the product 20:00 Spotting 'heads' back then 22:45 Only two straight jobs 25:05 The ignorant law enforcement 26:18 Cops don't recognize hash 27:25 A trippy traffic stop 32:26 Acid buddy becomes a JW 37:23 After high school 38:18 Dodging the Vietnam draft 40:56 College for connections 44:40 Hitching with a pound of weed 46:16 The business mindset 47:42 Leaving college for California 48:09 Meeting Cassidy and the Morocco plan 50:47 The cocaine trip that wasn't 54:30 Selling the boat, new plan 57:03 Bringing Stella along 58:59 Buying the VW bus 01:01:39 Buying hash on the mountain 01:05:28 Driving with 44 pounds 01:07:09 Coming upon a roadblock 01:10:47 Getting past the roadblock 01:13:52 Setting up at the beach house 01:16:34 Building the secret stash bed 01:18:57 A month in Morocco 01:20:00 The sign to leave 01:22:45 The Moroccan customs search 01:27:20 The ferry and the dolphins 01:28:24 Easy entry into Spain 01:32:40 Cassidy's anger and laughter 01:33:46 Shipping the bus to Montreal 01:35:28 Swapping the bed in Canada 01:37:53 Crossing into the US with the bed 01:39:13 Selling the hash, big profits 01:43:36 Trust in the old days 01:44:29 Bust risks in Spain and Morocco 01:46:19 The failed second attempt 01:49:01 The near-disastrous boat trip 01:54:15 How long did the career last? 01:54:55 Back to New York, then Arizona 01:59:32 The Laguna Beach connection 02:02:20 Cowboy Neil's operation 02:04:41 The North County partnership 02:07:12 Weighing and distributing 02:09:00 The two-year plan 02:10:16 Thai stick and new markets 02:14:19 The big deal in Laguna 02:17:20 The gift suitcase 02:18:51 The DEA roadblock 02:21:17 Three hours of interrogation 02:25:00 The search comes up empty 02:27:24 Scared straight by the DEA 02:29:04 Overall earnings and taxes 02:32:59 The DEA's advice: leave California 02:36:41 Moving to Florida and new businesses 02:38:00 The mistake that ended it all _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

This week's Ask Me Anything tackles real questions about fatherhood, marriage, friendship, faith, addiction, parenting, and personal responsibility. Ryan and Kipp discuss why becoming a first-time father can feel more frightening than exciting, how to reconnect with an emotionally absent father, and how to take surface-level friendships deeper. They also explore balancing work and family, finding your way back to faith, essential backcountry gear, recovering after an alcohol relapse, and navigating a teenage son's growing independence. Along the way, they share practical frameworks for turning fear into action, building trust, creating deeper relationships, and leading without relying on force or rescue.

He describes, almost line by line, the way I ran CottageLink Rental Management for the best part of 15 years: every contract in my head, every standard different, every decision routed through me. I got right up to that wall at 200 properties and never went through it. I sold instead. This conversation is honest about what that costs, and specific about what has to change before you can climb. Whether you are at five properties or 150, you are somewhere on this ladder. About the guest Simon Lehmann is one of the most recognized figures in professional short-term rental. He was CEO of Interhome, co-founder and chairman of Vacasa Europe, chairman of MadeComfy in Australia, and a board member at HomeAway and Breezeway. Through AJL Atelier he advises property management companies worldwide, with most of his one-to-one work in the 50 to 200 unit bracket. He hosts the STR Global Unlocked podcast and is launching the Simon Lehmann Academy, a self-serve curriculum built from 21 years of domain knowledge. Some people in this industry call him the Godfather. Key takeaways Below 50 units you are the system. Every standard, every owner agreement, and every exception lives in your head, and that is exactly what stops you growing past it. The first real hire is not a junior assistant or a VA. It is an operations person who can take 50% of the work off your hands so you can start being strategic. Saying yes to every property will cost you later. When operators finally analyze owner lifetime value and margin contribution per property, they typically find 20 to 25% of the portfolio is dragging the whole business down. Tier your owners internally, into three tiers, no later than 100 units. This is an internal exercise, not an owner-facing one, and it is the first step toward a single standard contract. The number worth building your reporting around is net margin contribution per unit. Most managers know how profitable the business is. Very few can tell you how profitable one property is. You have to fire yourself from the position that creates the biggest bottleneck in your company. Selling while you are still the operator means the buyer discounts the price by the cost of replacing you. Simon replaced 4,500 Swiss francs a month of software with tools he built himself, having described himself as technically illiterate six months earlier. The AI wall works the same way as the 50 unit wall. Once you break through it, it gets easier. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

There are people you meet once and think about for years. Codie Sanchez is one of mine. She is the founder of Contrarian Thinking, a Forbes 2026 Top Creator, and one of the most powerful voices in business on the internet, the rare person in her world who says the quiet part out loud instead of selling you the highlight reel. A New York Times bestseller with a nine-figure portfolio of businesses most people will never see the inside of, and a way of talking that makes you sit up straight. So I asked her the thing I actually wanted to know. What's the most dishonest part of the entrepreneurship dream we're all being sold? And she did not flinch. We get into why most business owners don't run their businesses, their businesses run them. Why the thing you build to give you freedom so often ends up with you by the throat. The vacation test that Gary and I failed miserably. And her whole argument, the one behind her new book Own or Be Owned, that being needed is not the same thing as being free, and most of us confuse the two until it's very expensive to learn the difference. But this one got personal fast, because Codie is about to become a mother for the first time, at the exact moment she's releasing the biggest work of her career. So we talked about what happens to a woman who built the whole machine when she has to evolve into a different woman for the next chapter. Running a business with your husband. Softness and power, and how they actually meet in leadership. Whether we even want it all, or whether we've just never been asked what we actually want. This is for the woman who is burned out, or tired, or quietly talked herself out of starting the thing. The one who suspects most of what she sees online is a little bit fake, and is right. Codie is proof you can build the business and still have the life, but only if you're honest with yourself about which life that is first. This is Codie Sanchez.

Don't say "expensive "!Are you letting your own wallet dictate what you think your clients can spend? Do you know the difference between something being “expensive” and something delivering real value? In this episode, I challenge the way we talk about pricing and explain why “expensive” isn't about the dollar amount but about whether the value matches the investment. Could changing your mindset around this unlock new possibilities for your business and sales?Listen to this new 7-minute episode for a fresh perspective on pricing, priorities and how to confidently ask what you're worth.If you have any questions about anything in this, or any of my podcasts, or have a suggestion for a topic or guest, please reach out directly to me at Alan@WeddingBusinessSolutions.com or visit my website Podcast.AlanBerg.com Please be sure to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review (thanks, it really does make a difference). If you want to get notifications of new episodes and upcoming workshops and webinars, you can sign up at www.ConnectWithAlanBerg.com  View the full transcript on Alan's site: https://alanberg.com/blog/SummaryIn this episode, I dive into the real meaning of the word "expensive" and challenge the way we use it in the wedding business. The conversation focused on how "expensive" is not about the amount of money someone spends but about the value and return on investment they feel they receive. I explore situations where clients spend more than they expected but are thrilled with the results, explaining that in those moments, the experience wasn't actually expensive, even if it represented a higher outlay than they anticipated. A key theme that emerged was the importance of understanding priorities. People put their money where their priorities are, and what seems like a high price to one person may not feel the same to another based on what matters most to them.The discussion explored common struggles faced by wedding professionals, especially when it comes to raising their prices. Several points were raised, including that viewing your own service as "expensive" can actually hold you back and make you hesitant to increase your rates. Selling based on your own wallet rather than focusing on your client's priorities and perceived value limits your growth. I share stories from my own experience in the industry, highlighting how overcoming my own limiting beliefs about pricing and value allowed me to confidently charge more and deliver even better results. Ultimately, the message is clear: erase the word "expensive" from your vocabulary, focus on the value created, and trust that clients who see that value will be happy with their investment.Are you going to Wedding MBA?

Ramit unpacks how to stop overspending, stay out of debt, and start building wealth as this couple confronts the spending habits they thought they had already fixed. Three years ago, Mason and Becca finally confronted a financial reality they had been avoiding. Despite good careers and the appearance of success, they had accumulated nearly $50,000 in credit card debt. They cut back hard, aggressively paid it down, sold their house, and moved to Florida. Now they have around $100,000 from the home sale sitting in savings, but they're worried the same habits that got them into debt are starting to creep back in. They still don't properly track their spending. Shopping, expensive date nights and a large “miscellaneous” category make it difficult to see where their money is actually going, while Mason experiments with day trading and considers ideas for generating passive income. On paper, they're doing far better than they realize: they have around $204,000 invested, $124,000 in savings, and a net worth of roughly $326,000. But without changing how they spend and manage their money, Ramit sees a real risk of them falling back into debt. Ramit helps them figure out what comes after getting out of debt: how to stop mindless spending without giving up the things they love, save and invest intentionally, and start building real wealth. They rethink their plans for an $800,000 dream home, confront the scarcity they both grew up with, and discover how increasing their income and investing more could completely transform their financial future. In this episode, we uncover: How Mason and Becca built nearly $50,000 in credit card debt The conversation that finally forced them to change their spending Why they used a 401(k) loan to aggressively pay down debt How selling their house left them with around $100,000 in cash Why having that much money makes Becca anxious Why they're scared of slipping back into their old spending habits How shopping, expensive date nights, and impulse purchases added up Why they still don't properly track where their money goes How their $3,000 Disney annual passes fit into their Rich Life Why Ramit sees a real risk of them falling back into debt What Ramit sees in Mason's day trading and passive income ideas Why their $326,000 net worth surprises them How Becca's childhood shaped her belief that she would never be rich How Mason grew up seeing money as stress and struggle What they want their son to learn about money Why buying an $800,000 house would require major trade-offs How Ramit helps them rebuild their Conscious Spending Plan Why increasing their income becomes the biggest lever for their future How their retirement projection jumps from around $3.1M to $4.7M How they finally become completely debt-free Chapters: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:02:45) How they built nearly $50K in debt (00:06:39) Using a 401(k) loan to escape debt (00:08:53) Selling their house leaves them with $100,000 (00:11:15) “We just swiped the card” (00:14:37) Their old spending habits start creeping back (00:16:31) They disagree about buying another house (00:24:05) Ramit reviews their financial numbers (00:31:13) Ramit digs into their 71% fixed costs (00:37:30) Day trading and the dream of passive income (00:38:46) How Becca grew up around money (00:47:50) How Mason grew up around money (00:52:43) What they want to teach their son (00:56:41) Ramit starts rebuilding their financial plan (01:07:26) Redirecting their money toward investing (01:11:59) The reality of an $800,000 dream home (01:19:18) Why earning more becomes the priority (01:24:01) Their retirement could reach $4.7 million (01:32:15) Their house timeline changes completely (01:33:25) Mason and Becca become debt-free This episode is brought to you by: Facet | As of the date of this recording, Facet is waiving the enrollment fee for new annual members, and for my audience, Facet is offering $300 into your brokerage account if you invest and maintain $5,000 within your first 90 days.

In this episode, we're doing something a little different. I'm opening up my private monthly book club discussion (usually just for Flying Higher members) and sharing it with you. This month we read the bestselling novel Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. We get into the tradwife aesthetic, performative Christianity, and the difference between a woman who genuinely loves a homemaking life and a system that demands every woman perform one. Key Takeaways:The reason the beautiful tradwife image is so seductiveThe most convincing performances usually start with a belief that's actually sincere. One character's storyline sparked a heated disagreement in the group about who gets to be "smart" in stories like this one, and why that distinction matters There's a subtle difference between a woman choosing a traditional role and a woman being conditioned into one, and it changes everything about how we respond to the trend.What does authentic faith look like once the performance stops? If you're a divorced Christian woman who loves self-development and learning new things, consider joining the Flying Higher community! Get Today's Free Resource:

Cash-based physical therapy clinics have traditionally sold visits or visit packages, but PT Biz has spent the last two years testing a different approach. In this episode, Doc Danny explains how outcomes-based offers can improve revenue per provider, increase continuity, reduce unused visit liabilities, and create a cleaner transition into recurring services. In This Episode, You'll Learn What an outcomes-based offer is and how it differs from visit packages Why selling the outcome can make more sense to the patient What PT Biz has learned after testing this model across more than 100 clinics How outcomes-based offers can improve effective revenue per session Why conversion rates often hold steady or improve after the transition How unused visit packages can create accounting and business liabilities Why outcomes-based offers create a cleaner transition into continuity How continuity rates can increase from roughly 10–15% to 30–40% Why better provider economics can improve compensation and staff retention Key Takeaway For many cash-based clinics, shifting from visit packages to an outcomes-based offer can improve revenue per provider, simplify the patient journey, and create a stronger transition into the Stability Layer. The goal is to stop selling appointments and build the offer around the outcome the patient actually wants.

As major entertainment companies like Disney, Hulu, Netflix, and Spotify increasingly invest in video podcasts, the podcast industry is becoming an even bigger part of the streaming wars. In this episode, Travis and Eric discuss what these acquisitions mean for independent podcasters, why major companies may be willing to overpay for established shows, and how podcasters can build businesses and content that are attractive to potential buyers. They also explore the role of production quality, audience distribution, and the possibility of large-scale podcast rollups. On this episode we talk about: Why Disney, Hulu, Netflix, and other major streaming platforms are investing in video podcasts Why major companies may acquire successful podcasts for distribution and audience attention rather than sponsorship revenue How podcasters could position their shows to become attractive acquisition targets Whether high-end production quality can help independent podcasts attract better guests and grow their audiences The potential for companies to acquire portfolios of thousands of independent podcasts instead of spending massive amounts on individual celebrity shows Top 3 Takeaways Podcast acquisitions are about more than sponsorship revenue. Major media companies may be buying established podcasts primarily for their built-in audiences, distribution, and ability to compete for attention in the streaming market. Build something that has strategic value. If you're starting a podcast, creating content around an established entertainment franchise, industry, or audience could potentially make the show more attractive to companies that already own related intellectual property. Production quality can create opportunities, but content still matters most. A polished production can help attract high-profile guests, create better social clips, and make a show more appealing to streaming platforms—but great production alone won't make a podcast successful. The right content for the right audience is ultimately what matters. Notable Quotes “They're not acquiring the podcast for its sponsorship revenue potentially.” “All they're trying to do is win the attention war.” “It's probably going to be the right content for the right person that makes it successful.”Connect with Travis Chappell: Podcast: Travis Makes Money Website: https://travischappell.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://instagram.com/travismakesmoneypod A Word from Our Sponsors: - The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

A woman at a gym event described my exact ideal client, then asked if I could help her. I froze, and AirDropped her a blog article instead of my offer. This is the closing episode of our selling series, and it covers the thing almost nobody names: the cost of not selling. When you stay quiet, someone stays stuck. That bill never arrives all at once the way a no does, so it stays invisible. In this episode: Why a mechanical fix (price, pitch, one-liner) never solves a selling freeze The main character mistake and how to spot it in real time What my son's quarterback coach taught me about elevating everyone else Practice one: pitch a friend's offer and notice how easy it feels Practice two: run the six-month tape on one real client Two client stories, including one replacing a full corporate salary in under six months You do not have a selling problem.

The hat, the face, even the pose that the child model was in resembles Jim Crow era cartoons. Last year, Target faced an initial round of backlash after they dissolved DEI departments and practices across the organization.

There's a popular Atlanta pastor who's getting dragged online because he's creating a podcast tour where he's going to sell tickets. A lot of people are complaining that he's selling the gospel.
