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!

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."

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

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. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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).

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.

25 Ways to Sell More Vinyl — Sponsored by Hellbender Vinyl Pressing vinyl is the exciting part. Selling every last copy? That can take a little more creativity. In this episode, I share 25 simple, unique ways to sell more vinyl—from hand-numbering and local variants to golden tickets, bundles, influencers, listening parties, and more. None of these ideas will sell 1,000 records overnight, but if each helps move just one or two extra copies, suddenly those boxes in your garage start disappearing.

We are in the year 2026, right? Because Target recently posted a Halloween costume for sale on their website that can only be described as racist. 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. Hmm, maybe they could have used some help that would have prevented this whole costume fiasco to begin with...

This week, we revisit a conversation with Laura Zander that we first published last year, shortly after she and her husband Doug sold Jimmy Beans Wool, the business they had spent more than two decades building. Laura had been preparing to sell for years. She had kept the company's books clean, built systems that could survive without her, and cultivated relationships with potential buyers. In other words, she had done many of the things owners are told they should do to prepare for an eventual exit. And still, when the right buyer finally came along, Laura says the process nearly broke her.There were 155 due diligence requests, endless rounds of legal negotiations, mountains of paperwork, and months when Laura and Doug were so consumed by the transaction that the business itself suffered. Meanwhile, life kept happening: a major website migration, tariffs, industry turmoil, family issues, and the constant fear that some unexpected development would cause the buyer to walk away. Even after the papers were signed, the work—and the stress—continued. Laura did ultimately get a deal she was happy with. But the more useful lesson may be what it took just to get there.

Are you constantly building new offers, spinning up funnels, and grinding on social media, yet somehow never feeling like you're actually moving forward? What if the real problem isn't fear of visibility, but something far sneakier stealing your momentum?In this episode, Kathryn digs into a pattern she keeps seeing across founders at every stage of business: a lack of focused attention on what actually moves the needle. It's not indecision or laziness. It's a dopamine-driven cycle of ideation and building that feels productive but keeps revenue at arm's length.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:● Why the dopamine hit of chasing new ideas and endlessly building offers creates a cycle that feels incredibly productive but drains your revenue, energy, and ability to actually follow through on what you've already put into the world.● How staying in the "build phase" becomes a subconscious safety net, one that shields you from the discomfort of putting your work out there while masking itself as hustle, creativity, and forward momentum.● Why having multiple offerings, being on every platform, and hiring support can actually widen the gap between your effort and your results when your attention isn't anchored to a clear, outcome-driven strategy.● How getting radically honest about where your clients actually come from and ruthlessly releasing the team members, clients, and tasks that are leaking your time and energy… is the fastest path to sustainable, aligned growth.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

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. Of course, he doesn't see it that way, but there's a perception that he is actually selling the gospel. So, in this Pastor Chat, I want to share some thoughts around this question: When does business cross over into selling the gospel? How should you think about this, especially if you have a calling to ministry, like a pastor, or if you're a Christian putting on events, offering coaching, or doing other things that feel so closely connected to Christianity that it could appear you're selling the gospel? __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

In this episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm joined by oil painter Chris Abigt. I met Chris at an art show in Springfield and was immediately drawn to her work. I ended up buying one of her prints and knew I wanted to have her on the podcast. Chris has turned art shows into a full-time business. She and her husband travel around the Midwest and do up to 18 shows a year. But there is a lot more to making art shows work than putting your paintings in a booth and hoping they sell. We talk about how she decides which shows are worth applying for and how far in advance she plans. We get into what makes a show successful for her and how she factors in expenses like booth fees, hotels and travel. We also talk about what happens between shows. Keeping up with inventory and reproductions during a busy season takes a lot of planning. Chris also explains how she and her husband divide up the work and make the business work as a team. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build an art business around art shows, this conversation gives you a behind-the-scenes look at everything that happens before, during and after the booth.

The Trust Formula: Why Clients Decide to Hire You Before They Ever Talk to You | Psychology of Selling Travel (Part 4) Why do some potential clients schedule a discovery call and book almost immediately, while others spend weeks asking questions and never move forward? The answer often isn't your pricing, your proposal, or even your sales skills. It's trust. In Part 4 of my Psychology of Selling Travel series, we're exploring one of the most powerful forces behind every buying decision: the psychology of trust. You'll learn why clients often decide whether they trust you long before they ever fill out your inquiry form, book a consultation, or request a quote. We'll dive into the five key trust-building principles—authority, social proof, familiarity, consistency, and reciprocity—and how you can intentionally incorporate them into your marketing, client experience, and travel business. If you've ever wondered whether your content is actually making a difference or how to stand out in a crowded travel industry, this episode will show you why trust is your greatest marketing asset. In this episode, you'll learn: Why trust is the foundation of every successful travel businessHow authority helps position you as the expert clients want to hireWhy social proof is one of the strongest influences on buying decisionsThe psychology behind familiarity and why consistency mattersHow providing value before asking for a sale builds long-term client relationshipsWhy educational content is one of the most effective marketing strategies for travel advisorsThe biggest trust killers that may be costing you bookingsHow authenticity helps clients connect with you on a deeper levelWhy marketing is about building relationships—not chasing salesPractical ways to strengthen trust throughout your client journey Whether you specialize in Disney destinations, cruises, luxury vacations, river cruises, all-inclusive resorts, or custom international travel, building trust is what transforms casual followers into loyal clients who book with confidence and refer their friends and family.

Segment Rundown Cold open: Orlando Weekly wins — Tom and Dan thank listeners for voting them #1 podcast in the Orlando Weekly awards again (won every year but one), explain why the recognition matters for their small business, praise Will's Pub owner Will Walker for leaning into similar local promotion, and tease a story they're saving for Monday's BDM-only show. Nobody has it figured out — After a bit riffing on an adult-film parody, the group discusses chasing money and fame with Aimee, including the story of Pauly Shore once calling them for business advice and George Wallace still hustling decades into his career — the takeaway being that no one, however successful, ever fully "figures it out." Selling 10% of the show — Inspired by NFL teams selling ownership stakes (the Atlanta Falcons' $1.6B sale of 10%) and Mark Cuban's rise, the hosts joke about selling 10% of Tom and Dan and using AI to preserve their likenesses after death. Aimee's job buyout — Aimee shares that she's taking a voluntary severance from her 12-year job at a Medicaid-based insurance company, effective by May 2027, and has already lined up new therapy and contract work; the hosts joke about her stealing office supplies and the three of them starting an affiliate partnership. Neighbor bush feud advice — Aimee asks for help with an 11-year feud with an elderly neighbor over a shared, overgrown bush encroaching on her house; the group runs through escalating "solutions" (hiring a surveyor since overhanging branches can legally be trimmed, plant diseases/whiteflies, popping tires, a kindness gift basket) while Aimee also vents about the same neighbors letting their dogs bark late at night. Aimee's upcoming shows (first plug) — Plugs for Aimee's long-running Shit Sandwich comedy show (15 years, first and third Fridays, with Rue co-hosting), a free family show/class Aug 29 at the Melrose Center, an improv jam that same night at Stigma Tattoos through the Florida Comedy Collective, and a Sept 26 West End Live show opening for Johnny Pemberton (Fallout, Superstore, Pickle and Peanut). Marching band car wash fundraiser — Tom plugs his niece's Lake Howell Marching Band charity car wash, comparing it to his own high school band fundraiser days, and the group riffs on whether kids doing donation-based fundraisers should just be tipped for playing their instruments instead, plus a jab at cheap oversized "big check" charity photo ops. AI voice-translation app demo — Dan shows off an AI app that translates a video into other languages (French, Mandarin, Swedish) in the speaker's own voice with matching lip movement, demoed using Tom & Dan Cruise 2027 promo clips, sparking discussion of how fast real-time translation tech is advancing. Optimus robot speculation — Riffing on a detail from Tesla's Aug 5 earnings call (robots reportedly getting chips before cars), the hosts imagine owning a humanoid Optimus robot to drive any car and handle housework and yard work, while questioning Elon Musk's track record on self-driving promises. Costa Concordia documentary recap — Tom recaps a Netflix documentary on the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster (the captain's unauthorized close "salute" pass, the reef strike, 32 deaths, his botched response and prison sentence), tying it back to their own upcoming Tom & Dan Cruise announcement. Poop stories and Concrete Mike call — A riff on awkward public-pooping stories (a "poop cruise" documentary, past guests improvising with towels) leads into a call from regular listener "Concrete Mike," who talks about using job-site dumpsters instead of portable toilets, becoming a new grandfather the night before, and hitting his 50th birthday. Aging radio personality tangent — A riff on an old colleague/bit going "full radio" and speculation about the declining health of an unnamed public figure known for hormone-replacement therapy abuse. Grave-niche theft follow-up — Dan describes keeping his parents' and family dog's ashes in an urn box in his wife's office, following up on a prior story about robbers stealing from cemetery niches. Caller: Tom's mom — Tom calls his mom live on air to ask, hypothetically, whether she'd help him commit various crimes (grave robbing, fake pest-control scams, driving a getaway car); she affectionately confirms she'd always back him, contrasted with Aimee's mom, who Aimee says would turn her in. Penn State cocaine ring story — Discussion of a news story about a cocaine trafficking ring run out of two Penn State fraternities, the alleged ringleader facing decades in prison, and a broader riff on drug legalization versus criminalization and treatment-based drug policy. Portland, Oregon tangent — A brief detour recalling an unsettling encounter with an intimidating stranger during a past trip to Portland, comparing its street culture to Orlando's. World's oldest person story — Discussion of the new Guinness World Record holder for oldest living person (a British woman turning 117) and the extraordinary span of history she's lived through — the Great Depression, WWII, the moon landing, the invention of the internet, two pandemics, and the Titanic sinking. Aimee's C-section story — Aimee shares her emergency C-section experience, including the surgical team nicking her breech baby's toe and playing an unwanted song during the procedure, plus a listener's story about a relative's more serious, complicated C-section. Future medicine and tech nostalgia — Closing speculation about longevity advances (cancer vaccines, genetic screening at birth) alongside early-technology nostalgia, including Dan's dad's status-symbol car phone. Show close and plugs — Final recap of Aimee's upcoming shows, a tease that BDM members will hear a special story on Monday's show, and a note that a full Tom & Dan Cruise announcement is coming soon.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we should encourage independent engagement with ideas like those of Justice Clarence Thomas rather than selling out to the left, communists, socialists, Islamists, the Woke Reich, isolationists, or others who have fallen into traps pushing greater interventionism or abandoning the dollar as the reserve currency. The prevailing hate directed at America, its founders, symbols, belief systems, Judaism, Christianity, and Israel should be condemned. We must maintain constitutional conservatism!  Rep Hakeem Jeffries attacks Justices Sam Alito and Thomas over alleged ethics issues while ignoring Justice Sonia Sotomayor's corruption. Sotomayor is the most ethically corrupt justice on the Court. She used taxpayer-funded court resources and staff to promote and sell her book by requiring organizations to purchase copies for her speeches, thereby earning substantial profits.  Jeffries shifted from ethics complaints to attacking a Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 because Democrats disagree with the ruling and seek to control the Court.  Also, there is no real substantive distinction between the DSA and the Democrat Party. The Democrats, as the more experienced institutional establishment, simply avoid overtly using terms like communism, Marxism, or even socialism while pursuing the same radical American Marxist agenda, differing mainly in approach, style, verbiage, and the speed of implementation rather than the underlying goals. Both seek to destroy the courts, citizenship, the Electoral College, and the voting system; promote open borders with no ICE deportations; centralize power in their own hands; and attack capitalism despite occasional claims otherwise. Later, Rep Randy Fine calls to discuss intense antisemitic attacks in his Republican primary.  Even Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats have condemned this. He also credits Florida's long stretch of conservative governance for keeping radical elements out and making the state a model of freedom and opportunity.  Afterward, the Iranian regime will not fall through economic pressure alone and must be destroyed. The IRGC—the true backbone of the regime—is replacing regular army generals and top brass with its own loyalists while preparing extensive escalation plans. Iran's leadership is growing more confident, remaining skeptical of Trump's motives, shifting into a survival economy, and viewing any talks as a mere pause before further conflict. Finally, Alyssa Rosenheck calls in to discuss her new book - White. Blonde. Jew.: A Call to End Extremism, Speak Up, and Reclaim Center. Learn more about your ad choices.
