Athena Kasvikis is managing iRobot amid a turnaround more than 18 months after regulators nixed its acquisition by Amazon. But she's also been an entrepreneur who led Behave Bras to success on “Shark Tank.” She brings classical Procter & Gamble marketer training to bear on Roomba, arguably the most iconic brand in robots, as interest in robotics and AI soars, in part thanks to Elon Musk. Here she talks on those things plus her outlook on CTV, data-based targeting, agency relations and how that “I, Robot” movie wasn't named after the company, or vice versa.

It goes straight to the energetic blueprint that's coded in your DNA. This energetic blueprint happened at your birth, as subatomic particles moved through your body and imprinted your DNA. It's the map that's going to lead you back to the most authentic version of you." — Emma Dunwoody "We think we know who we're meant to be and what we're meant to do and we really don't. We can't see that big picture. When you start living more in alignment with your Human Design, you learn to tap into the body, and you're constantly told in every moment what is right for you and what isn't." — Emma Dunwoody "Our purpose is bigger than the job that we do. Our purpose is our energy. Our greatest purpose is just to be our most authentic self, because then we are fulfilling the puzzle piece we need to fulfill to move to this new world." — Emma Dunwoody

Os tubarões do Shark Tank Brasil.

BT and Sal bring the heat with NFL insider Brian Baldinger for an electric breakdown of the Giants and Jets. They dissect the Giants' surge behind rookie Jaxson Dart, questioning if they've truly closed the gap in the NFC East, and if Denver's ferocious defense can contain his unique running ability. On the flip side, the trio unloads on the Jets' offensive struggles, debating whether Justin Fields' late-game hesitancy is fixable and if coach Aaron Glenn's late-game decision-making cost them a win. Baldinger gives a scorching film-based critique on everything from the Giants' Andrew Thomas' impact to the Jets' collapsing offensive line and why a QB switch to Tyrod Taylor was warranted. This is a must-listen reality check for every NY football fan

In this special episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla offers an exclusive preview of the upcoming SleepMedicine Disruptors course, taking place November 14-15 in Austin, Texas. She speaks with Steve Van Hout, executive director of the AASM, and Dr. David White, professor of medicine part time at Harvard Medical School, about the groundbreaking innovations reshaping sleep medicine. Steve Van Hout explains what makes the Disruptors conference unique compared to other AASM meetings like Trends and the annual SLEEP conference. Designed to bring together clinicians, researchers, technology innovators,and venture capitalists, Disruptors aims to foster cross-industry collaboration and encourage investment in sleep medicine innovations. The conference features innovation award presentations similar to Shark Tank pitches with the audience voting on their favorites, keynote speakers, and discussions about emerging technologies that promise to transform how we diagnose and treat sleep disorders. Dr. White provides an in-depth preview of his presentation on pharmacotherapy for obstructive sleep apnea, sharing exciting developments in multiple drug candidates. He discusses Apnimed's AD-109, a combination of atomoxetine and R-oxybutynin, which has completed two phase three studies showing approximately 50% reduction in AHI across six-month and one-year trials involving over 650 patients each. With FDA submission planned for early 2026, this medication could reach the market by late 2026. The conversation explores other promising agents including Incannex's combination of dronabinol and acetazolamide, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors like sulthiame (recently licensed by Apnimed), and innovative potassium channelantagonists that could be delivered via nasal spray for localized upper airway effects with minimal systemic absorption. Dr. White discusses the potential for poly therapy approaches, combining medications with devices like mandibular advancement devices or positional therapy, drawing parallels to how hypertension and diabetes are managed with multiple treatments. The episode tackles important questions about the future of sleep medicine: Will pharmacotherapy replace PAP therapy, or will hybrid approaches become standard? What AHI reduction is clinically meaningful for cardiovascularprotection and symptom improvement? How will pricing and insurance coverage affect accessibility? They emphasize that while these medications may not replace CPAP entirely, they offer promising options for patients who struggle with existing therapies. Whether you're a sleep medicine practitioner interested in emerging treatments, an entrepreneur exploring innovation opportunities, or simply curious about the future of sleep disorder management, this episode provides essential insights into the rapidly evolving landscape of sleep medicine. Join us for this forward-looking conversation about innovation, investment, and the technologies poised to disrupt traditional sleep medicine practice.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.com** Watch to see Susan read Michael's face, HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@97PercentEffective **You'll love or hate today's guest, Susan Ibitz, who boldly says: “I'm the only person in the world who does what I do.” Dubbed “freaky” and “the top expert in her field” by the Chicago Tribune and Pyschology Today, Susan draws on physiognomy, micro-expressions, and body language – practices often accused of shaky pseudoscience -- to profile and read people. A former political influence consultant, profiler, and civilian hostage negotiator, she's helped top law firms select high-stakes juries, coached Shark Tank's fastest deal-closer, and advised everyone from television producers to sales reps on how to “hack” human behaviour to get results. But here's the question: Can she really profile anyone in just 90 seconds? Is her ability a legitimate superpower … or something else? You decide. In this episode of 97% Effective, watch as she turns her methods on host Michael Wenderoth, and then listen as they discuss her background and training, the art and science of her craft, and the myths that swirl around in her field. SHOW NOTES:Susan profiles Michael – in 90 secondsThe breakdown: What Michael's flat forehead, neanderthal bump eyebrows, resting face, upper eyelids, the four quadrants of his mouth, bigger ears and earlobes, hair… all say about his personalityAre facial features universal across gender, race, culture, age?A short history: how face reading got incorrectly associated with phrenology (reading the shape of the head), Mengele and the NazisStudying under Paul Ekman and the problem with microexpressionsHow face reading catapulted Susan's careerMichael challenges Susan: What was her confidence level that she read him correctly?Top reasons why a face profiler can be wrong: Normalization, fighting the process, being too tired, and confirmation biasWhy listening to someone's voice and tone is critical – lessons from hostage negotiationsHow Susan's Dyslexia and Aspergers enhances her skills to read context and peopleDiagnosing vs Profiling and reading people's tendenciesThinking in terms of percentages and propensities“Assessments are not tests”Susan is not for everyone: Are you open to change?The bad apple effectThe top things organizations don't pay attention to: The importance of stepping away (because you can be the problem), and that people are not always in the positions they need to be (so reallocate them)A critique of “thin slicing”41 Shots and the importance of never assuming you are right 100% of the timeSusan busts 3 myths: 1) That using the number 3 means you are lying, 2) That 93% of your communication is body language, and 3) That “mirroring” will make people instantly love youThe way you say things is 30% more persuasive than anything you can do with your bodyHow to protect yourself from being persuaded – or connedCon artists play with your ego; narcissists and pyschopaths go after people who are highly intelligentWhen ego gets in the way and we become victims because we are too cockyWhen it smells, looks and tastes like poo poo, it's _______.The guts are your first brain: you can smell fear“Always doubt”Susan on AI vs humans: her record vs Big Blue, and how AI can make you dumberHow one of Susan's students outperformed AI to solve a murder mysteryToo many tik tok'ers, not enough plumbersLightning round: Susan's biggest influences; Favorite Sci-fi movie; Her drink of choice BIO AND LINKS:Susan Ibitz is a former political influence consultant, profiler, and civilian hostage negotiator, with expertise, study and degrees in Human Behavior, Behavioral Economics, Neuroscience – with a deep nerd-like love for data.

If you're raising money, one of the first questions you'll run into is whether to DIY your pitch deck or hire someone to help. And trust me, it's not as straightforward as it sounds. I've wasted money on “professional” help that didn't move the needle, and I've also seen founders burn months trying to DIY when they should have just invested a little upfront. That's the real challenge. It's not just if you can design this yourself. It's knowing when your deck is strong enough to stand on its own.  Here's where it gets even more confusing: the number of “pitch deck services” out there promising the world. Some quote a few hundred bucks, others want tens of thousands. And it's not always clear what you're really paying for. Are you getting strategy and feedback that sharpen your story, or just a prettier version of the same weak slides? In this episode, I break down the reality of pitch deck pricing. You'll learn how to figure out if you should do it yourself, what to look for in outside help, and how to avoid wasting time and money on the wrong solutions. Topics Covered; How to tell if your deck is strong enough to DIY, or if it's time to hire The red flags that your pitch isn't landing with investors What freelancers, mid-level designers, and agencies actually deliver (and what they don't) The real price ranges and what you should expect at each level Why overspending too early can waste money, but underspending can cost you months The hybrid approach that gets you professional polish without blowing your budget     About Your Host   Jayla Siciliano, Shark Tank entrepreneur turned real estate investor, excels in building brands, teams, and products.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ What if doing hard sh*t on purpose was the fastest way to build a multi-company empire? In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Buck Holly—Marine veteran, world champion shooter, and founder of C&H Precision—goes from broke farm kid in Minnesota to leading multi-million-dollar plays in precision manufacturing, software, and performance nutrition. He built gear warfighters trust (red-dot pistol optics, optic mounting plates, limited-run pistols), invented early drone tech as a defense contractor, and hires misfits with grit over pedigree. Buck says it straight: comfort destroys success, real-world exposure crushes racism and homophobia, and the government keeps people divided on race and guns so they never build anything that lasts.   Then he hands you the operator's playbook: buy the machine you'll need next year, overstaff so you never miss demand, and when suppliers squeeze you—build it in-house. He's rolling out AIM Software to replace agency spreadsheet chaos, expanding BullyWerx to manufacture parts and run youth EV kit programs that teach real manufacturing, and pushing Ruck Pack (featured on Shark Tank) to fuel performance without junk. If you're done with fragile supply chains, influencer gear, and borrowed narratives, steal Buck's model—do hard sh*t, make it easy to buy, and build companies that outlast trends.

Kevin Hassett is the director of the National Economic Council and arguably the economist closest to President Donald Trump. Right now, he's also one of the top advisers tasked with explaining the economic fallout of the government shutdown and forging a path forward. Hassett joins POLITICO's Dasha Burns for this week's episode of The Conversation, where he talks about the shutdown standoff on Capitol Hill, when Americans should start feeling the benefits of Trump's big tax bill and how the trade wars may affect the midterms.  “The really striking thing is that the place where the tariff policy effects should be the worst is the time right now where we have almost 4 percent growth and low inflation,” Hassett says. “We're very, very optimistic about how this policy is working and what it's gonna look like.” And, Hassett digs into the buzz surrounding whether or not he will be Trump's pick to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.  Plus, Shark Tank judge and investor Kevin O'Leary comes on the show to explain why he's bullish on the TikTok deal news, bearish on the federal government's investment in Intel and how he's grading Trump 2.0's economic performance so far.

I often wonder if we in the insurance industry have any idea how lucky we are that there are so many smart people out there looking to help make the way we do business easier, more efficient, more productive and ultimately, more profitable. Today's guest, Matt Hicks, is one of these people. Matt is the co-founder of Recorder, a next-generation broker management system that connects producers directly with underwriters and gives those underwriters instant quote and bind capabilities. Matt is a serial entrepreneur who has already been involved in two successful fintech ventures and now has some very well-known insurance investors on board this one. The product Matt and his team have produced is laser-focused on what adds the most value in the commercial insurance value chain. It's all about reducing admin and freeing producers, whether they are brokers, coverholders or frontline underwriters, up to do what they do best. The initial productivity gains claimed are eye-opening. The term serial entrepreneur may give you a misleading impression, so I'd say the best way of describing Matt would be that he would always be the most investable guest on an episode of Dragon's Den or Shark Tank. By the time he had finished with them, he would have all the investors fighting to be involved. The key I think is that special humility and empathy you get with really successful entrepreneurs. In my time as an insurance journalist I have lost count of the number of entrepreneurs I have met with who have undoubtedly superb technology, but who ultimately failed because they had zero empathy or understanding of how insurance professionals actually work and therefore what help they really need. Matt and his team are in insurance for the long run and know that the sort of API-lead revolution they are proposing will take time. But at the same time they know that history is on their side if they are patient enough. So I can highly recommend a listen. Matt is incredibly easy to talk to and his experienced and down-to-earth approach means he knows exactly how to go about making Recorder the sort of tool that over time the best producers are going to be clamouring for.   LINKS:  https://www.recorder.tech/ https://www.recorder.tech/contact  

Part inventor, part hustler, part one-man media team—Mike Silva turned a Thanksgiving garbage-can game into QB54: a dual-purpose football game you play (then sit in). The Blue-Collar Twins dig into how he went from beach-day preorders to manufacturing at scale, survived COVID freight shocks, landed in 200 Dick's Sporting Goods stores, and kept his family in the ride the whole way. You'll hear: The origin story: buckets to chairs, a light-bulb prototype, and first cash-in-hand preorders on the Jersey Shore.Testing before betting: small runs, tailgate demos, and learning to trust (but verify) manufacturers.Retail reality: terms, freight, tariffs, drayage—and why “getting in” is nothing without “selling through.”Media engine: eight years of footage, smart ad buying, ROAS/CAC basics, and turning reactions into conversion.Resilience & risk: six-figure debt, family support, mentor advice (“stay even keel”), and the grit to keep moving.What's next: Shark Tank exposure, overseas distribution, and a potential soccer variant.

If you are listening to this prior to October 9, 2025, go to the 32BJ Changing the Playbook on Hospital Prices event, where Mark Cuban will be keynoting. Cora Opsahl will also be speaking, and I will be there listening. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. So, trust, simplicity, and a chicken. Yeah, this is where this whole conversation with Mark Cuban and Cora Opsahl winds up. And it is a barnstormer because you know what some really good advice is for anybody trying to do right by patients and taxpayers and plan sponsors? It will take trust. It will take making the complicated as simple as possible. And also if you could pay with a chicken, like in the good old days, that would be messy—I can say with confidence, having grown up in Pennsylvania Dutch country, where there are many, many chickens—but also being able to pay with a chicken could also indicate that healthcare prices are reasonably chicken proportionate and that the doctor-patient relationship is good enough to break bread (or have chicken). That last part is really important, and Cora Opsahl says this at one point in the episode that follows. It doesn't matter how wonderful the transparency or the financing. If the prices are insane and there's no more reasonably priced options in any given market, then yeah. Shane Cerone says in an upcoming show, he says, “We do not have a broken healthcare market. We do not have a healthcare market. There is no market.” Okay … so, you could call this conversation a continuation of the episode with Ann Kempski (EP444), entitled “Two State Healthcare Laws Often Don't Go as Planned.” But it's not just healthcare laws that often don't go as planned. It's some very foundational constructs that we have built the healthcare sector upon that may also not go as planned. The healthcare sector is like a game of pachinko. You chuck an input into the mix, and it will bounce all around into all the perverse incentives and human beings and the non-market that we have. And who the heck knows what is gonna pop out the other side? It's like game theory at its most unpredictable. So, in healthcare, there are many, many examples of when the solution to a problem arguably creates worse problems than the problems the solution was trying to solve for. But we—Mark Cuban, Cora Opsahl, and I—are gonna shake our fists at two such solutions today: high deductible health plans (or just high deductibles in general) and then self-insured employers trying to solve the complexity of the healthcare industry by hiring consultants and middlemen, middle people, and other vendors to navigate the pachinko parlor (that is, our $4.9 trillion healthcare sector) on their behalf. Now, I am not in any way saying the spirit of these two endeavors—high deductibles and hiring consultants and middlemen—weren't wholehearted. They seem just like many other well-intentioned solutions: very logical on their face. What I am saying is there are many ways in the real world for even the most, again, genuine endeavor to turn into a money grab for those so inclined. While at the same time I'm saying all this, I'm also very much saying that there are some amazing consultants and middle folks such as independent third-party administrators, otherwise known as TPAs, and PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) who are transparent and hold themselves accountable to the fiduciary responsibilities that their clients are held to in real terms—not just in marketing speak with 40 pages of disclaimers following. There are great folks out there, many of whom listen to this podcast and are part of our tribe on the regular. And to you, I say thank you for being here, because it takes all the knowledge and more from every one of the guests featured in these past 487 Relentless Health Value episodes plus treating every day like a school day to make sure that we all are not getting shanked from behind by some innocent-looking contract term that turns out to be anything but. The conversation that follows starts out talking about high deductibles; naturally segues into how third-party intermediaries can actually exacerbate the issues here; then we get into transparency, financing, clinical organizations taking on risk, and the benefits and challenges of direct contracts; then Mark lays out a vision for the future. Okay … I wanna get to this conversation. If you are a new listener here—and you might be because … yeah, Mark Cuban—let me just inform you that this podcast is largely listened to by those who work in the healthcare industry. So, you are going to encounter acronyms. You will also encounter me referencing earlier episodes because surveys say listeners really appreciate these callbacks to go get additional information about any given topic. You can get what amounts to a personalized Master's of Healthcare Administration curriculum if you follow the episode threads long enough. And that was a direct quote from a listener. About the acronyms: They are holy terrors, and we in the healthcare industry are chock-full of them. See the list of acronyms that come up so that you can follow along at home if this is your first day at our rodeo. Also in the show notes is a transcript of this show, along with links to all of the mentioned episodes. Okay … here's my conversation with Mark Cuban, who is Mark Cuban and also CEO and founder of Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs. Also, we have Cora Opsahl, who is health fund director of the 32BJ Health Fund and an expert in many things healthcare. Also mentioned in this episode are Shane Cerone; Ann Kempski; Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs; 32BJ Health Fund; Preston Alexander; Stanley Schwartz, MD; Elizabeth Mitchell; Kimberly Carleson; Andreas Mang; Jonathan Baran; Claire Brockbank; Dave Chase; Cristin Dickerson, MD; Green Imaging; Kevin Lyons; and Vivian Ho, PhD.   You can learn more at markcubancompanies.com and costplusdrugs.com and follow Mark on LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, and X. You can follow Cora on LinkedIn.   Mark Cuban, a native of Pittsburgh, PA; a graduate of Indiana University; and now a Dallas, TX, resident, has always been an entrepreneur. From selling and trading baseball cards, selling garbage bags and magazines door-to-door, to starting a business buying and selling stamps at age 16, there have been few years in his life when he wasn't starting or running a business. He got a job at one of Dallas's first retail software stores, Your Business Software. He spent nine months doing everything from learning how to code, supporting and installing every type of business software, and of course, making sure the store opened on time. That went well until he made the executive decision to turn over the store opening duties to a peer so he could pick up a check for a sale. He was fired. Mark decided it was time to start on his own. The next day, MicroSolutions was founded. Over the next seven years, MicroSolutions became a national leader in Systems Integration and custom applications for local and wide area networks. Growing to 80 employees, never having a losing month of operations and nearly $36M in annualized sales, in 1990, MicroSolutions was sold to CompuServe. At that point Mark “retired” to investing in public and private companies. His knowledge of the networking industry led to success and brought returns of 80% and more each year. Mark purchased the Dallas Mavericks for $285M. The Mavs would have the second-best record in the NBA during his ownership tenure. Mark sold majority control of the Mavs in 2023 but continues to be actively involved with the team. He first appeared as a “Shark” on ABC's Emmy Award–winning hit business show Shark Tank in 2011 and quickly established himself as one of the most popular and tough Sharks, investing millions of dollars in hundreds of small businesses. He's been nominated nine times for an Emmy for Shark Tank. His last appearance on the program was during season 16 in May 2025. In 2019, Mark co-founded costplusdrugs.com. Its launch on January 19, 2022, with transparent pricing and a limited markup, has fundamentally changed the pricing of medications in the United States. Cora Opsahl is the director of the 32BJ Health Fund, a self-insured Taft-Hartley benefit fund that sets comprehensive design parameters to ensure the 200,000 members and families of SEIU 32BJ have easy and sustained access to affordable, high-quality healthcare. Cora has prioritized a data-driven approach, focusing on reducing trend, solving the affordability challenge on behalf of union members, and, most important, keeping members at the center of every decision. Under her leadership, the 32BJ Health Fund has saved more than $35 million annually—which it has reinvested in new and better benefits, including the first fertility benefit for members—by removing NewYork-Presbyterian hospitals and physicians from its network, transitioning to a new pharmacy vendor and pharmacy group purchasing coalition, and establishing an expanded Centers of Excellence program. In 2024, Cora conducted an innovative medical request for proposal, stipulating that all finalists have a signature-ready contract drafted by the 32BJ Health Fund prior to award. As a result, the Fund negotiated an agreement that brought unprecedented visibility and increased accountability to its benefit. In 2025, the Health Fund is focused on direct-contracting opportunities that allow it to carve out key benefits and ensure quality while managing spend.

When you're building a business that appeals to investors, you have to show that you can scale and stabilize at every level.  But here's the thing - scaling isn't clean or painless…it's not supposed to be. It almost always means that things will break. Systems will strain, processes will collapse, and the business will feel unstable.  This is inevitable. Growth will always stress the business.  As a founder, your mindset shouldn't be preventing stress; it should be preparing for it.  Every stage of growth demands that you adapt, fix what cracked under pressure, and put new structures in place that can carry you to the next level.  And part of that structure isn't technical at all, it's human. Your inner circle has to be balanced. Too many yeses and you'll miss the weak spots. Too many nos and you'll never take the risks growth requires. What should early-stage founders be thinking about as they grow? How did my guest turn a $30K loan from his 401K into 20+ million in real estate and a $10M a year company?  In this episode, I'm joined by entrepreneur, mentor, short-term rental expert, and investor, Josh Hatter.  We unpack why scaling is supposed to feel uncomfortable, how to treat breakage as proof of progress, and why curating the right mix of voices around you might be the most important system you ever build. Topics Covered How Josh turned a $30k 401k loan into $20M+ of real estate assets and $100M under management How childhood chaos became his greatest entrepreneurial strength The real reason rental arbitrage is dangerous (and what to do instead) How to survive a once-in-a-lifetime industry collapse like COVID in hospitality Why scaling means breaking your systems on purpose The hardest balancing act in entrepreneurship Why owning the real estate your business operates in is one of the smartest wealth moves you can make How Josh formalized his mentorship group into a nonprofit   Guest Bio Josh Hatter is a Short Term Rental (STR) and Bed & Breakfast (B&B) expert investor and entrepreneur. After working in Corporate America, Josh bet on himself to grow a $30,000 401 (k) loan to $20M+ of assets in 12 years of real estate investing through his principles of information arbitrage. He helps high achievers exit corporate America and reach financial independence through hospitality real estate. Visit https://www.joshhatter.com/, send an email to josh@joshhatter.com.

A decade ago, Allison Ellsworth was drinking apple cider vinegar for health reasons and doctoring it with fruit so she could stand the taste. Her husband Stephen helped her turn it into a business by adding carbonation on a hacked soda line in their Dallas townhouse. They called it “Mother Beverage,” and sold out every week at the farmers market…but then heard the words no founder forgets: “Your branding is…sh*t.” What happens next is one of the wildest CPG glow-ups of the 2010s: a Shark Tank deal with brand whisperer Rohan Oza, a full rebrand to Poppi, colored cans that jumped off the shelf, a launch derailed by Covid—and finally, an explosion fueled by Amazon, TikTok, and a Super Bowl moment that planted the flag: We're soda–and we've left the farmers market for good. Five years after its rebrand, Poppi was acquired by Pepsi for nearly $2B. This is the story of the messy bottling line, saying no to “dumb money,” baptism by Shark Tank, and building a generational brand while staying married.In this episode, you'll learn:How rebranding can rescue a beverage, and when to avoid early eye-rolls The hit-and-miss of carbonating on a small scale (and why co-packers said no).How the risky decision to call Poppi “soda” unlocked a new retail set (functional soda).What a Shark Tank partner does during a rebrand window.How Allison seized on TikTok to spike sales during Covid Timestamps:0:10:15 Meeting cute at a snowboard shop → engagement in 7 months 0:14:00 How apple cider vinegar helped Allison's health…but tasted terrible (early flavor hacks) 0:22:36 DIY carbonation disasters: exploding bottles & the 40°F lesson 0:42:28 Selling out at the Dallas Farmers Market 0:37:48 Appearing on Shark Tank while nine months pregnant and the deal with Rohan: “your branding is sh*t.”0:47:02 The nail-biting rebrand from “Mother” to Poppi: colored cans vs. white, and winning the shelf 0:53:44 Expo West canceled by Covid → a massive turnaround fueled by Amazon, Shark Tank, and TikTok1:05:51 Super Bowl ad– “We're soda!”--and the road to a ~$2B Pepsi acquisition 1:07:58 Growing a business while managing a marriage Follow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comThis episode was produced by Rommel Wood with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

In this episode of Money Mondays, we dive into real-world entrepreneurship, investing, and what college doesn't teach you. David Guttman, serial entrepreneur with both eight- and nine-figure exits, shares how mindset, strategy, and timing shaped his career. Alongside him is Anna Prudchenko, an 18-year-old who skipped the traditional path to build her first company with David's mentorship.---Who is David Guttman?David Guttman is an entrepreneur, investor, and now President and COO of InvestiFi. His journey started humbly, managing a help desk at 24 before discovering the power of equity during his first IPO. That lesson fueled a career that led him to eight- and nine-figure exits and recognition as a three-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur. A graduate of Brown and Wharton, David's perspective was further shaped by surviving a terminal cancer diagnosis in 1990, an experience that redefined how he approaches both business and life. Today, he channels his experience into mentoring and teaching through The Anti-MBA: What Business School Never Taught Me.Learn More: https://bit.ly/46vct60---Who is Anna Prudchenko?Anna Prudchenko is an 18-year-old entrepreneur and majority owner of a new venture she launched under David's mentorship.

This is a fan fav episode. If you're about that hustle culture life then you've either entertained the idea of burning the boats or you already took the leap. Is it necessary though? Is there a link to being successful and leaving yourself no option for retreat? Matt Higgins has been on Shark Tank as one of the sharks, he's vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins, guest lecturer teaching at Harvard, and CEO of a private investment firm, RSE Ventures among other things. His success is mind-blowing and at a level very few people ever achieve. The plot twist is he grew up broke, selling flowers, working at McDonald's and actually made the decision to drop out of high school at 16 years old! He's sharing why Burn the Boats, the title of his latest book, isn't the idea you think it is. Matt points out that 48$ of people have a plan A and believes that when you spend time coming up with Plan B you're more likely to not even give Plan A the effort it deserves and therefore minimize your chance of success. This conversation is about getting real with yourself, facing everything that comes your way,and not retreating to Plan B, C or D. The idea that Matt Higgins shares is about being so totally committed to your Plan A that success is the only option. Eliminate choices. Fully commit. Experience new levels of success.

Kevin O'Leary, AKA Mr. Wonderful, joins Nicole for a wide-ranging, no-BS conversation about building wealth, protecting it, and enjoying it (but maybe not with a $5 coffee… or maybe yes?). They debate whether people should treat themselves to that latte, unpack the investment rule that shaped Kevin's fortune, and dive deep into today's economic landmines—from real estate and crypto to celebrity prenups and the collectibles craze (spoiler: Kevin's Labubu is worth way more to him than you think). If you're a newbie investor, you won't want to miss where Kevin says he'd invest $1,000 right now. Plus: Kevin shares personal stories on his marriage, prenups, and how his mother's money wisdom still guides his financial decisions today.
