Podcasts about sells

Scott and Shane are here post-week 3. We go through week 3 thoughts and run through a buy/sell draft for each NFC team.

Today Guest Host Matt Haiken is joined by Bill Solko, Dealer Principal at Automotive Avenues. In 2009, Bill's accountant told him he had lost $1.2 million, and a few weeks later he drove past an empty dealership and decided to go retail. Last month Automotive Avenues sold 1,025 used cars across two New Jersey stores, and it outsells Carvana in the New York market while making around $800 a car, compared with the $3,800 Bill says the big box players target. Bill breaks down his "wholesale to the public" model, why he retails aging cars instead of dumping them at auction, and why he throws predatory lenders out of his office. He also reveals, publicly for the first time, the private equity acquisition that timed out after a year in contract. Topics: 02:45 Dropped Out Of High School In 10th Grade. 09:45 Wholesaling Was Commodities Trading. 13:25 Accountant Said He Lost $1.2 Million. 17:25 Auction Owner Said Buy, We'll Figure It Out. 26:40 Selling 1,000 Cars With $800 Margins. 34:30 Manufacturers Create Artificial Demand. 50:35 Rejects Predatory Lender Programs.

A new initiative aims to cut out the middleman and provide more value to wool growers and farmers. Wools of New Zealand has launched a direct-to-consumer service, allowing Kiwis to buy wool carpet directly through its Laneve brand. It's aiming to compete with synthetics on price while returning more to growers. CEO John McWhirter told Mike Hosking you can still buy their products via retailers – this is just another channel for customers. He says all the services you can get in a traditional brick and mortar shop are available on the website, and customers can see how different products would look in their homes, and an estimated cost.

People care about sustainability, but that does not necessarily mean they will pay more for it. In this episode of State of Sustainability, Saif Hameed revisits the sustainable consumer and explores what brands need to understand about concern, behavior, pricing, and identity in 2026.Sustainability concern is rising, particularly among younger consumers and people in emerging markets. But unlike consumers in developed economies - whose concerns may be shaped by media coverage and broad fears about global catastrophe - people in emerging markets often experience environmental problems directly. The episode examines why sustainable behaviors are increasing even when consumers do not describe them as sustainability choices. Organic, natural, recyclable, and recycled products are often chosen because they represent health, safety, or better choices for the family - not necessarily because they are better for the planet.Saif also questions the idea of a universal green premium. While some identity-led brands can command higher prices, most consumers remain highly price sensitive. In some cases, sustainability messaging may even undermine sales if customers associate it with weaker performance, such as 'the paper straw problem'.As AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini become more influential, brands will need to communicate the identities and values they serve. The biggest opportunity may not be selling sustainability directly, but creating a strong match between what a product represents and how consumers want to see themselves.Let Saif know what you think by emailing Saif@altruistiq.com.To discover how leading organisations are improving sustainability reporting and carbon management, visit Altruistiq.com.Join us at the State of Sustainability Summit: LondonOn 14 October, Altruistiq is bringing together senior sustainability, procurement and supply chain leaders from leading consumer goods companies for a day of practical discussions on the challenges shaping the future of the industry.

If your fantasy team is already sitting at 0-3, waiting around isn't much of a strategy. Ryan Wormeli and Andrew Erickson look at the moves that could help turn an early-season hole around. They dig into the trade markets for Tetairoa McMillan, Parker Washington and Emeka Egbuka, including which situations could create a buying window and which players may still carry more value than their production suggests. Plus, Travis Kelce and Kyle Pitts take center stage at tight end before a rapid-fire Buy, Sell or Hold segment closes out the show.

Ibn 'Arabi's famous "Religion of Love" verses are some of the most striking lines in Islamic mysticism - a declaration that the heart can take the form of every temple, church, and shrine. In this episode, we do a deep dive into the poem itself, its context in the Tarjuman al-Ashwaq, and what it reveals about Ibn 'Arabi's views on love, God, and universality in Sufi thought.

As you become more successful, something interesting happens:Fewer and fewer people are actually qualified to give you advice.In this episode of Superhuman Selling, Elyse Archer explores the relationship between discernment, mentorship, and self-trust, and why being intentional about whose advice you allow into your life becomes increasingly important as you grow.Elyse shares the story of making an investment in coaching and mentorship that was equal to nearly half of what she had earned the previous year, despite not having the money sitting around to comfortably make the decision. Instead of asking everyone around her what they thought, she became incredibly selective about whose perspective she allowed in.That decision ultimately helped catapult her business to an entirely different level.You'll learn why Elyse believes you should stop taking advice from people who don't have the results you want, why financial success alone isn't enough when choosing mentors, and how to look at the entire LIFE someone has created before deciding whether you want to learn how they think.She also shares how to create your own personal board of advisors, made up of the people whose perspectives, beliefs, results, and lives represent where you want to go.Because the goal isn't to outsource every decision.The goal is to become more discerning about who you listen to while learning to trust yourself more deeply.

War Dogs sold 2.2 million copies in four days and nobody saw it coming.This episode we break down Bulkhead's early access hit. A hardcore milsim with three teams, no matchmaking and a $40 price tag beat Helldivers 2's launch curve on Steam, and its peak concurrents grew every day of launch week.

Double rifles are the least understood firearms in hunting. They cost more than most trucks, the two barrels are regulated by hand one pair at a time, and most guys buy one for a charge that is never going to happen. I brought in Chris from Heym USA to explain the whole thing from the ground up. Why they cost what they cost. What barrel regulation actually is and why lasers cannot shortcut it. Why 50% of the weight has to sit between your hands. Why a 26 inch barreled double carries shorter than the 22 inch bolt gun in your truck.Then we get into the part that applies to anybody shooting a big bore. Why the 450/400 Nitro Express is the first double rifle cartridge he tells guys to buy. Why the professional hunter's rifle and the client's rifle are two completely different tools. Why the honest answer on recoil is the one nobody wants to hear. We finish on red dots, grizzly handguns, one hole versus two on a Cape buffalo, and my great great grandfather's Damascus barreled Francotte 12 gauge.In this episode:- Why barrel regulation makes a double rifle expensive, explained without the mystique- The 450/400 Nitro Express, 400 grains at 2100 fps, at roughly 375 H&H recoil- Weight between the hands, five frame sizes, and why barrel length is about balance, not velocity- Kinetic energy versus shot placement, and what a 700 Nitro Express actually did to an elephant skull- PH rifle versus client rifle, and the aspirational marketing that sells you recoil you will never practice with- Soft point in the right barrel, solid in the left, and why two holes beat one---FOLLOW CLIFFYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGrayInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliffPursuit With Cliff Podcasthttps://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/Hunt.

Patrick Clancy continues the innocence fraud campaign for his baby murdering wife Lindsay Clancy. In a new clip leaked from the “60 Minutes” Clancy says he “thinks he did the best he could” at keeping his children safe from his baby murdering wife. Roberta Glass explains why this statement is missing the usual signs of guilt we see in parents of murdered children. Lindsay Clancy strangled her children (Cora (age 5), Dawson (age 3) and Callan (age 8 months) using exercise bands in the basement of her Duxbury, MA home on January 24, 2023.Show Notes:Court TV “ Lindsay Clancy's Father in Law” - https://youtu.be/qrS8rAx5oes?is=4Du-WW-HHIL1-ghH Law & Crime Trials “Patrick Clancy Takes the Stand” https://youtu.be/UZeHWqinKUA?is=82MhmszyHm-eYLJrRead Patrick Clancy's civil suit here - https://media.nbcboston.com/2026/01/Patrick-Clancy-Civil-Suit.pdfRead Lindsay Clancy's civil suit - https://knowyourdrugs.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Lindsay-Clancy-Lawsuit.pdfAOL “Lindsay Clancy's Daughter Teacher- https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/teacher-reveals-lindsay-clancys-daughters-1973409Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by becoming a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereport Throw a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglass Support Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglass Become a channnel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinThank you Patrons!

Ryan Wormeli and Andrew Erickson break down the wide receivers and tight ends worth targeting on the trade market before Week 3. They make the case for buying Josh Downs as his role grows in Indianapolis, explain why Garrett Wilson could have much more upside ahead, and look at whether now is the time to buy low on Chicago’s struggling pass catchers. On the other side, Wormeli questions whether George Pickens can return his current market value alongside CeeDee Lamb, while Erickson makes the case for selling Jake Ferguson after his touchdown-fueled start.

Eight buys, six holds and four sells, including guys your league is actively trying to move and one seller coming off a two touchdown game.Every call is argued on usage rather than points: target share, route participation, yards per route run and expected fantasy points per route run, plus the injury news behind each opportunity.Follow us on Instagram (252K followers): https://www.instagram.com/upperhandfantasy

Zuly Matallana's brand has the kind of unpaid advocacy most founders spend years chasing: a Dragon's Den investor who still posts about the product, a Good Morning America feature, a celebrity's on-camera endorsement. None of it replaced the sales work. Matallana, Founder of TIARA, still sends samples to buyers herself. She still works trade show floors. She still cold-emails retailers with no guarantee anyone opens the message. TIARA was founded after Matallana lost her grandmother and aunt to breast cancer, a disease that affects roughly one in eight women in their lifetime. She decided the deodorant industry had never been forced to answer for its ingredient lists, and built a brand around that gap. On this episode of Global Lens, she joins Senior Retail Analyst Lavina Suthenthiran to discuss what moves product once advocacy is already in place. INSIDE THE EPISODE: Recognition opens the door; it doesn't walk through it for you Most founders treat advocacy as the finish line. Matallana treats it as a foot in the door. No matter the promotion, none of it replaces the trade show booth where she explains, ingredient by ingredient, why her formula is different. Credibility gets built one educated buyer at a time Matallana's sales pitch isn't the product. It's the ingredient list. She shows buyers exactly what's wrong with the deodorants already on their shelves, then makes the case for what should replace them. The founder is the advocate no one can outsource Not every brand puts its founder in the room, but TIARA does. Matallana stands in front of strangers to explain why an ingredient matters herself. It's slower than hiring it out, and it's why she's staying the face of the brand as it scales. Listen above for Matallana's take on why most personal care products were never formulated for women's bodies, and her early steps toward selling beyond North America.

Paul Herrold of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Paul and Tom open the show discussing Volvo's deal with Chinese car builder Geely to distribute the latter's Lynk & Co brand products in Western Europe. Volvo will retail and service the vehicles, which will be positioned below like-segment Volvo products in price and content. Tom shares a story regarding the sighting of a Cybercab equipped with a steering wheel. Tesla's new ride-hailing autonomous vehicle was designed without a steering wheel or pedals, so the recently spotted example opens the door to much speculation. Still in the first segment, Tom reviews the Lexus LX 600 SUV which is both pricey and satisfying to drive. Listen in for details. In the second segment, the hosts welcome Larry Vellequette of Automotive News to the show. Larry shares news regarding the induction of long-time Toyota steward Akio Toyoda into the Automotive Hall of Fame. Listen in to a great conversation about Mr. Toyoda and his history of thoughtful corporate leadership. In the last segment Paul is subjected to Tom's "State of the Nation" quiz. After the quiz Paul shares his first-hand account of a recent Ferrari-owners event at Wisconsin's legendary Road America race track. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Success sells, someone grows by 100,000 followers, has a £500k launch, sells out an event or builds a seven figure business and naturally, we want to know how they did it.But what aren't we seeing?In this episode of The Subconscious Expert, I'm exploring the subconscious psychology behind success and the part of someone's results that can't be packaged neatly into a strategy, framework or five step method.Because when somebody tells you what they did to become successful, you're seeing the behaviour and the result. You're not necessarily seeing the beliefs they grew up with, what was already normal to them, their relationship with money, visibility and risk, the experiences that shaped them, what they value or the filters through which they experience their business.And all of that came with them when they executed the strategy they're now teaching you.We're getting into why success itself creates authority, why somebody else's results can make their advice feel more credible, and why two entrepreneurs can follow exactly the same strategy and have completely different experiences doing it.The point of this episode is to look beyond the success itself, get more discerning about what those results actually tell you, and understand more about the human being behind the business strategy.Topics covered on The Subconscious Psychology of Success:Why success is such powerful marketing and why we naturally pay attention to people who have created results we wantThe part of someone's success you can't see from their revenue, followers, launches or sold out eventsHow subconscious beliefs, values, memories, experiences and filters influence the way somebody executes a business strategyWhy somebody's upbringing and relationship with money, visibility, risk, failure and success can matter to the results they createHow two entrepreneurs can follow the same advice and have completely different internal experiences of doing itWhy successful people may not consciously recognise everything that contributed to their own successThe danger of assuming “this worked for me” automatically means “this will work for you”Why being successful at something and being skilled at helping somebody else do it are different skill setsHow visible success can subconsciously create authority and influence who we choose to learn fromWhat to look for beyond somebody's success when choosing a coach, mentor, programme or strategyWhy understanding what happens inside YOU when you implement a strategy can be more useful than continually searching for another oneLinksConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meCome say hi on Instagram | YouTube | WebsiteRelated episodes you may enjoy:295.

A census of 839 AI training programs found that 44% teach how to use the tool, and only 8.9% teach the judgment to evaluate whether what it produces is actually any good. In business and creative work, the two categories where AI gets used most, that drops to 4%. Russell's take: the market sells you the button, not the judgment. He also previews an MIT report on AI in education coming later this week, and tells a personal story from around 2008-2009 about briefly pitching former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on a business partnership.Source: Why Small Business AI Projects Fail and How to Avoid Pitfalls, Mexico Business News - https://mexicobusiness.news/professional-services/news/why-small-business-ai-projects-fail-and-how-avoid-pitfallsAbout the showJudgment Call is live every weekday morning.

How do you raise prices on a DTC brand without killing demand?Derek Jaeger founded Last Crumb in 2020, priced a box of cookies at $110, then moved it to $140. He says that is when the company took off. Eric Dyck gets the full DTC marketing story on the DTC Podcast: pricing as positioning, ecommerce growth without a repeat purchase, and why he killed the weekly drop model that made the brand famous.Get the DTC Newsletter: directtoconsumer.coGet your brand on TV today: https://www.universalads.com/dtcpromocode?utm_medium=email&utm_source=dtc-newsletter&utm_campaign=issue-takeoverWHAT THIS EPISODE SOLVESYour premium product is not moving and you are about to discount it. Derek tested upward instead. At $110 Last Crumb was fine, at $140 it had a differentiator, and the drops started selling out in one second.You cannot hold a high price on packaging alone. He built the box as shipper and gift box in one, tested the angle each cookie sits at, and landed on 35 degrees with 90% of the lettering visible on open.Scarcity launched you and has become your ceiling. Why a drop model cannot stay a value pillar forever, and how moving to evergreen was the test of whether he had a real company or a hype company.Your customer acquisition cost will not clear on a single order. No subscription, no natural repeat, and a product that mostly gets gifted. What carried ecommerce growth when paid could not.You are paying creators for content that does not perform. Last Crumb briefs nobody. They watch for organic posts that already work, whitelist those, and run the same asset on Instagram and YouTube.

Jay Haddad hated being a plumber. He lived for the weekends - free diving, waterfalls, surfing, the beach - and when he and his wife had their first daughter at 23, the outdoor life they'd promised each other suddenly got hard. On his first Father's Day, they bought some fabric from Spotlight, watched a YouTube tutorial on how to thread his mother-in-law's dusty sewing machine, and made a waterproof beach pool so their daughter had somewhere safe to play. Strangers on the beach kept stopping to ask where they could buy one. That was the moment Sunny Seekers began - with zero e-commerce experience and a first sewing attempt Jay describes as shocking. In this episode, Jay is unusually raw about the whole grind: a year of failed fabric testing, three supplier disasters in a row, the brutal reality of a seasonal product, and the personal toll of three hours of sleep a night that nearly broke him before he learned to build sustainably. What you'll learn in this interview: How the product idea came straight from Jay and his wife's own friction as new parents - and why being your own target customer can be its own form of validation The scrappiest possible start: a first prototype sewn on a borrowed machine, tested at the beach, validated by strangers walking past asking where to buy one Why sewing in a circle nearly defeated them - and how the DIY version proved the concept before a single dollar went to a factory The year lost to fabric testing: sourcing waterproof fabric on Alibaba, missing an entire summer season, and why Jay is still glad they waited to get it right How he used Alibaba's "request for quotation" feature to find a manufacturer for a product nobody had made before - and didn't even know what search terms to use The unit economics that made it a real business: fabric alone cost $130+ per pool in Australia, but a finished unit from overseas landed at ~$25 and sold for $115 Selling out the first 200 units in a month before Christmas 2024 - and the nagging question that haunted the whole next year: do people buy this after the holidays, or only as gifts? Three separate supplier nightmares - loose threads on 200 units, a botched print at the wrong scale, leaking carry bags ironed shut by hand - and how he pushed through each one right before peak season The Black Friday scaling playbook: starting at $10/day on meta, doubling ad spend as orders doubled, reaching $1,000/day, and hitting a record $50K month in December 2025 The hardest lesson of a seasonal brand: how post-Christmas ads got expensive fast, why he was left holding stock and no cash through winter, and what he changed about looking after himself mentally to survive the off-season If you've boxed yourself into an identity - your trade, your job title, the industry you happen to be in - and quietly wonder whether you could build something of your own, this episode is for you. Jay had no network, no experience, and no idea how to sew. His story is a grounded reminder that the unglamorous grind of prototypes, supplier failures, and slow seasons is exactly what turns someone from "a guy sewing in the back of the house" into a founder.
