Podcasts about Shark Tank

Last week, President Trump dramatically reduced the size of two national monuments that aren't only beloved by everyday Utahns but contain priceless archeological treasures. But Utah is fighting back – against Trump, and against the Republican legislators letting private industries and a Shark Tank host run roughshod over what most people in the state actually want. To learn more, we spoke to Caroline Gleich. She's an environmental activist and a professional ski mountaineer based in Park City.And in headlines, the Trump Administration announces a deal with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to provide the country with a civilian nuclear program, Arizona Republican Representative Andy Biggs overwhelmingly wins the GOP nomination for Arizona governor, and the power of the US passport has reportedly declined over the past 20 years.Show Notes: Check out Caroline's work – carolinegleich.com Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

You've been telling yourself the same story. That you need more money to start. That you need the perfect plan before you move. That fear is the reason you're stuck. Here's the truth: the only thing holding you back is the belief that something outside of you has to change before you can begin. Robert Herjavec went from arriving in America with nothing to building and selling companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He's one of the most recognizable faces on Shark Tank, and in this episode, he breaks down the exact mindset shifts that turned urgency into wealth, why most people quit before they compound, and the leadership mistake that quietly destroys great companies. From structuring earnouts with no money down to scaling a $400 million business without raising a dime, Robert reveals the frameworks that separate people who stay broke from people who build empires. In this episode, you'll learn: Why fear is what holds most people back and how the fear of hard work without guaranteed results is the real killer, not the work itself The poverty versus wealth mindset: why working to make a living keeps you stuck and how shifting to building wealth changes everything How Robert bought 13 businesses with no outside funding using earnouts, seller financing, and cash flow leverage, and why you don't need money in the bank to do deals The biggest mistake founders make when pitching: asking people to listen instead of making them want to hear, and why humility and subconscious alignment close deals before you even open your mouth How to value a company the right way: understanding industry multiples, EBITDA, and why people fail because they price based on what they need instead of what the business is worth Stop waiting for permission. Stop waiting for certainty. The life you want is on the other side of the decision you're avoiding. My new book, Own Or Be Owned, is all about building a business so good it doesn't need you. More profit, less pain.

Hey Clutterbugs! Struggling to declutter your home? The co-founder of a $300M clutter removal company who's cleared out 100,000+ homes reveals the #1 mistake people make, and it's one I made 20 years ago. If you've been decluttering slowly for months (or years) and still feel stuck, this episode will change everything. After helping hundreds of thousands of families let go of their clutter over the past 20 years, Nick Friedman (co-founder of College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving) has seen it all, from overflowing garages to full-blown hoarding situations. He was the very first entrepreneur ever featured on Shark Tank, appeared on Undercover Boss, and built a national brand from a borrowed cargo van in college. But more importantly? He's witnessed the exact moment people finally decide to let go . . . and what happens when they do. I spent an entire year of my life decluttering my own home, and I still wish I'd called a dumpster and changed my life on day one. Nick backs this up with insights from the field, explaining why the "rip off the band-aid” approach can work better for some people than slow, painful purging.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes new guest Dr. Rob Yonover, a Hawaii-based scientist, inventor of military survival gear, and lifelong music fan. Rob recalls seeing Bruce Springsteen in Miami in 1975 and shares his connections to Perry Farrell, along with a deep love for Bob Dylan and a desert-island album pick list (Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited," Jane's Addiction's "Nothing's Shocking," and Sublime's "40 Ounces to Freedom"). Jesse shares his own three albums and how seeing Springsteen live in 2002 sparked an obsession that led to 20+ shows. They discuss album-focused listening, the downsides of phones and streaming culture, favorite concert stories, Rob's Shark Tank experience with his StreamR invention, and the podcast's “Mary question.,” http://seerescuestreamer.com/ 01:28 Meet Rob 02:13 First Springsteen Show 04:31 Desert Island Albums 07:24 Jesse Picks Three 09:50 Tracks 2 Overload 12:29 Growing Up in Miami 14:46 Album Listening Debate 17:44 Discovering Dylan 20:26 Jesse Springsteen Origin 23:57 Phones at Concerts 27:54 Wild Concert Stories 33:36 No Electricity Grandpa 34:14 Radio and Music Discovery 38:30 Becoming a Scientist 41:35 Volcanoes to Scholarships 43:20 StreamR Survival Invention 46:37 Shark Tank Showdown 52:08 Phones Apps and AI Rant 53:46 Thunder Road Mary Debate 57:28 Dylan Springsteen Legacy 01:01:09 Where to Find Rob 01:01:55 Final Bruce and Signoff Learn more about your ad choices.

The US-Iran MOU, designed for speed, was intentionally vague - and now it's unravelling, threatening to spike costs for everything from oil and fertilizer to food and borrowing. As inflation climbs, this economic instability becomes a critical challenge for President Trump in an election year.Meanwhile, Trump is promoting initiatives like the ‘Freedom Fuel Network,' ‘Trump Accounts,' and ‘Trump RX' - moves that have sparked debates about government intervention and socialism. What is actually happening with the US economy? Piers Morgan speaks to ‘Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary and economics professor Steve Keen and breaks down these policies and the fierce debate surrounding wealth taxes. 00:00 Introduction 01:59 Kevin O'Leary outlines why the markets are so resilient despite the war in Iran 06:33 Steve Keen and Kevin O'Leary clash over the economic realities for Americans in the Iran War 10:30 Why is Donald Trump not explaining the economic reasons for war? 13:01 Kevin and Steve debate the viability of a wealth tax 16:10 Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire 17:40 Steve praises China's redistributive economic model 18:41 America vs China 22:03 Kevin and Steve discuss the capacity of the American economy and work force to survive AI 28:59 Should Gen Z start making lunch at home rather than complaining about the economy?

This episode comes to you live from our pop-up studio at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York City. Our guest: Jason LaRose, CEO of Bombas — the brand that turned socks, underwear, and tees into a mission-powered growth machine, with more than 200 million essential clothing items donated to people experiencing homelessness. But first, the news — and in our summer biweekly format, there's plenty. Steve breaks down Nike's unimpressive quarter: revenues down, China off 12%, and an operating profit boost driven almost entirely by a nearly billion-dollar one-time tariff refund. The contrast with Levi's couldn't be sharper — under Michelle Gass, the brand posted 8% sales growth, expanding margins, and momentum across women's and tops. The winners keep winning elsewhere too. Aritzia's remarkable run continues with comps up an eye-popping 35% and digital up nearly 60%. Uniqlo parent Fast Retailing delivers 22% revenue growth from its 2,500-store global fleet. And Costco's monthly numbers offer fresh evidence of retail's Great Concentration. Then there's Kroger, acquiring regional grocery powerhouse Giant Eagle — a $9 billion revenue business bought at a strikingly low multiple. Michael and Steve debate the real question: does acquiring-to-compete solve Kroger's relevance problem, or just buy cost leverage against Walmart, Costco, and Amazon? Then it's on to Jason LaRose, who joined Bombas after leadership roles at Under Armour and Equinox. What drew him in: a genuine mission wrapped around outstanding economics — profitable essentially since day one. He traces the brand's arc from Indiegogo campaign and Shark Tank's most successful company ever to nearly $2 billion in cumulative sales, now expanding into underwear, tees, footwear, and slippers — the very items most requested in homeless shelters. LaRose also delivers a masterclass in disciplined distribution: highly curated wholesale partnerships with Target, Dick's, Nordstrom, and Scheels, each with distinct assortments for distinct customers, alongside the brand's first stores and expansion into Canada. His mantra — quality, comfort, mission, in that order — explains why repeat rates keep the funnel from leaking where so many DTC peers sprang holes. Wrapping up, on Steve's radar: a Dallas-area tour of the newly merged Container Store and Bed Bath & Beyond format (who exactly is this store for?), plus his provocative new Substack essay, "Convenience is Boring." On Michael's radar: the soon-to-open Gordie Howe Bridge, his conversation with U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, and why USMCA review limbo keeps piling uncertainty — and cost — onto businesses and consumers across North America. About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

We're running one of our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! Are you thinking of starting a podcast? Or maybe you already have a show and are wondering how to take it to the next level? Today's guest shares everything you need to know to launch and grow a successful, purpose-driven podcast. Erik Cabral is a leading expert in brand development, trusted by Fortune 100 and Inc. 5000 companies to define and deliver their core messages. Having built thousands of brands over his career, Erik has shared the stage with powerhouse brands like Shark Tank's Matt Higgins and Kevin Harrington, VaynerMedia, David Meltzer, and Hal Elrod of the Miracle Morning.  As the founder of On Air Brands, Be Your Brand, PodMAX, and Mindado Investment Group, Erik is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs develop their personal and corporate brands through podcasting and media strategies. His work has been featured in major publications and has contributed to raising millions in capital for his investor clients. Preventing Podfade After launching dozens of podcasts, Erik says the biggest obstacle is "podfade" — where a podcast gradually disappears over time because it runs out of content ideas. Thousands of new shows were created in the past few years, but very few of them survived past 20 episodes. The reason comes down to a lack of purpose. If you don't have a clear goal for your show, it's unlikely to last. That's why Erik's company has shifted more into personal branding. Before launching a podcast, be clear on your goals, your mission, and who you want to serve. Focus on your purpose, because that's what makes great content.  In Erik's own business, he's rebranded his podcast to The Erik Cabral Show and is focused on incorporating his faith into his brand. His mission is to build personal brands that glorify God, and his openness about that mission has helped him attract people who share those values. What to Know Before Starting a Podcast If you want to start a podcast, the first step is to manage your expectations. The average number of downloads per episode is 29. That may not sound like a lot, but even a small audience can create momentum in your business!  If you have 30 loyal listeners every week, that's the same as having 30 people in a room who are eager to learn from you. Don't believe the noise on social media that says you need massive numbers to create an impact.   When it comes to growing your show, podcasting is like starting a business. It starts with word of mouth and your personal network. Most of the biggest podcasts are hosted by someone who already had a personal brand with a large following. Audience growth is a slow build, so don't give up too soon. Enjoy this episode with Erik Cabral… Soundbytes 13:23–13:42 "It's what we call pod fade: all these shows got started, and the statistics are running away from me, but all the hundreds of thousands of podcasts that started during that era, we benefited from, for sure, but then a lot of them faded because they didn't have clarity and purpose and an end goal in mind." 33:07–33:41 "There is a purpose outside of money. Your purpose could be money and earthly things and earthly desires and material things. But I've recognized, and I've been around a lot of successful people…sharing the room in stages with millionaires and billionaires. I've recognized there are people that aren't happy with all that money, but the ones that are have that greater purpose, and they're usually God-fearing people that know there's something bigger than themselves beyond this life here on Earth." Quotes "Podcasting is very much like starting a business. We have to start with friends and family, word of mouth. We have to be grassroots." "Having a podcast, especially with a YouTube channel, you're set apart from most business owners who don't want to do that." "We want to build personal brands that glorify God." "Building a business is personal. It comes from us, our heart."

Starting a business is one thing, running it successfully is another – but doing it with your spouse and four kids is a different kettle of fish. Janine Allis has done all of the above, after founding Boost Juice as a single store in the 2000s and growing it into a global empire. She’s since become one of the most sought-after entrepreneurs in the country and a regular on small screens, both as a judge on Shark Tank and as a competitor on Australian Survivor - twice. She also owns one of Australia’s fastest-growing dessert chains, Yochi. Allis joins Good Weekend Talks to chat about the challenges and delights of building a family business, how she finds time to surf, and what she learned about leadership as a stewardess on David Bowie’s boat. Today’s episode is hosted by business reporter Jessica Yun.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever wondered how a birthday celebration could spiral into a full-blown discussion about Gathering of the Juggalos etiquette, congratulations—you've found your people.Today's daily podcast begins with one of the greatest animal stories ever told: a baby fox whose face looks so much like Shaggy 2 Dope that Insane Clown Posse actually came to meet it. That somehow launches the crew into debating whether they should road-trip to this year's Gathering of the Juggalos in Missouri... where they immediately learn one important survival tip:Never.Ever.Pick up a dollar bill.Because it might be a Poop Dollar.Yes, that's apparently a real thing.The crew debates camping versus hotels, Clownvis as the official Juggalo ambassador, RV road trips, and whether anyone could profit from wearing latex gloves and collecting contaminated cash. Honestly? It somehow becomes one of the most educational segments we've ever done.Then things only get weirder.We rank the whitest phrases ever spoken ("News flash, buddy." "Get a load of this guy." "Ready Freddy."), dive into celebrity news featuring Bon Jovi's return to the stage, Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley, Taylor Swift wedding conspiracy theories that somehow become a thousand-dollar bet, Luke Wilson becoming a first-time dad at 54, Shark Tank's newest guest sharks, Dune Part Three hype, Netflix's upcoming fried chicken documentary, MK Ultra documentaries, the worst movies ever made, and the latest Emmy nominations.The gang also pays tribute to Bonnie Tyler, debates whether Andie MacDowell is "stunning" or merely "a smoke show," and somehow finds time to invent another ridiculous punishment involving dressing like television characters for an entire week.As always, nobody stays on topic for very long—and that's exactly why this daily podcast exists.If you enjoy sarcastic conversations, ridiculous news, pop culture commentary, celebrity gossip, and the kind of comedy that only happens when a group of friends accidentally encourages each other to make terrible decisions, this episode has everything you could possibly want.Plus:Gathering of the Juggalos survival guideWhat exactly is a Poop Dollar?Celebrity gossip & entertainment newsBonnie Tyler tributeEmmy bet punishment announcedTaylor Swift wedding conspiracy continuesBirthday celebrations for RizCrap on CelebritiesPassword game chaosThanks for making us part of your mornings.

Moon returns from Alabama after spending quality family time driving a boat like every dad whose only mission is launching kids off an inflatable tube at unsafe-but-technically-safe speeds. The gang debates whether tubing is childhood fun or simply a cleverly disguised upper-body endurance test that ends with someone losing a shoulder.Then the news takes a hard left.A St. Louis man is arrested... again... for throwing rocks off an overpass. Naturally, the conversation somehow turns into train hopping, small-town childhood crimes, and whether this guy secretly missed his calling as a major league pitcher.Just when you think we've hit peak weird...A man cuts off his own anatomy, sets it on fire, accidentally burns down a garage, and somehow gets arrested for arson. We wish we were making that sentence up.If that isn't enough nightmare fuel, the crew reacts to one of the wildest aviation stories ever: a flight instructor who simply opens the door mid-flight, tells his student "keep moving forward," and jumps out of the airplane. The student still lands safely because apparently she's the calmest human alive.We also revisit the unbelievable Tesla cliff case where an entire family survived a 300-foot plunge, discuss bizarre Florida drug smuggling excuses, debate irrational fears of tiny airplanes, celebrate another official case of Rafe's famous "butthole lightning," and somehow manage to squeeze in movie nostalgia, Culkin conspiracy theories, food news, and enough sarcasm to power St. Louis for a week.A baby fox whose face looks so much like Shaggy 2 Dope that Insane Clown Posse actually came to meet it.

The crew talks about the massive sunflower fields at Columbia Bottom Conservation Area, why everyone suddenly needs the perfect golden-hour Instagram picture, and the unspoken rules of not becoming "that person" who picks the flowers. Because apparently the unofficial sunflower police are real.Then things take a sharp turn when the gang talks about one of the strangest safety stories we've heard in a while. Kids are putting those squishy sensory toys in microwaves... and the results are genuinely terrifying. Riz shares a story that's equal parts public service announcement and "please don't let your children discover science this way."Meanwhile, Rizz is running on absolutely nothing because he's preparing for wisdom tooth surgery immediately after the show. No breakfast. No coffee. Questionable hydration. You can practically hear the hunger affecting his decision-making throughout the episode... especially once the games begin.And speaking of games...Rizz Show Password completely unravels in spectacular fashion.What should have been a straightforward round somehow becomes one of the funniest train wrecks in recent memory. One password somehow requires references to Harper Lee, books, movies, lawyers, and eventually complete surrender before anyone lands on "Mockingbird." Then everyone immediately forgets how clues work all over again.Watching the crew try to stay calm while the guesses drift further away from reality is exactly why this daily comedy show has become part of so many morning routines. The frustration is real. The sarcasm is relentless.

Hour 2 of Jeremy and Joe! Are we being way too positive about the Texans O-Line? Someone on the show has changed their opinion on the CFB playoffs, and how supports expanding to 24 teams JJ Watt is appearing in Shark Tank, what game show would you want to participate in?

Emma Grede is a British serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and mother of four. She is the Co-Founder and CEO of Good American, and a founding partner of SKIMS. Recognised for her achievements, Emma has been featured on Forbes' America's Richest Self-Made Women list. She made history as the first woman of colour to serve as a judge on ABC's Shark Tank. Emma joins Nuala McGovern to discuss her book Start With Yourself, a bold and empowering guide with advice on how women can build meaningful success on their own terms.Today the goverment will announce plans to boost support for foster carers. The aim is to encourage more people to provide homes for vulnerable children in England. It's the latest step in the government's drive to recruit an additional ten thousand foster carers, as they announced back in February. BBC's Social Affairs Editor, Alison Holt explains.At least 5,000 pregnancies a year in the UK end due to Termination for Medical Reasons, but the persistent taboo in society can mean that families keep it secret, in fear of other people's reactions. The stigma and silence around it mean people can feel incredibly alone in their grief and often feel excluded from the wider baby loss community, increasing their sense of isolation. July is Bereaved Parents' Awareness Month and to discuss this issue, Nuala talks to a grief coach and bereaved mother, Tanya Wilkinson and to Tommy's Co Midwifery Manager, Amina Hatia.What do you do with your wedding and or engagement rings after divorce? It's been reported that a growing number are said to be turning them into something entirely new. The so-called "divorce ring" trend is seeing women reset engagement diamonds into bold pieces that symbolise independence and a fresh start. So what's driving the trend, and what does it tell us about the changing meaning of jewellery after marriage? Nuala is joined by gemmologist and jewellery expert, Helen Dimmock and author and jewellery historian Rachel Church, to discuss.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

Some mornings you expect headlines. Other mornings you discover there's an underground criminal empire stealing used fryer grease, someone insists bedazzled jeans are making a comeback, billionaires are wearing air-conditioned inflatable suits, and Rizz has created an entirely unofficial list of ages where society should lovingly tell you to knock it off.Welcome to another daily comedy show from The Rizzuto Show.We kick things off close to home with St. Louis news, including Cyberg's Market Street closing after decades downtown, overnight vehicle break-ins, and why leaving valuables—or firearms—in your car is a spectacularly bad idea. Naturally, the conversation immediately derails into fake manual transmissions to confuse thieves, mounted muskets, Shark Tank-worthy anti-theft inventions, and enough terrible ideas to make insurance companies nervous.Then things get wonderfully ridiculous as the crew dives into one of the strangest crime stories imaginable: an organized multi-million-dollar operation built around stealing used restaurant grease. Between fake invoices, undercover grease pickups, and criminals wearing reflective safety vests to blend in, yesterday's french fries somehow become today's organized crime thriller.Fashion isn't safe either. Lern believes rhinestones are back. Rafe embraces the return of early-2000s chaos. Rizz refuses to believe grown adults are voluntarily bedazzling their back pockets again. Before long the conversation spirals into Ed Hardy memories, JNCO jeans, Von Dutch hats, whale tails, cowboy fashion, and the universal question nobody asked: did any of this actually look good the first time?Speaking of questionable decisions, the crew revisits tech millionaire Bryan Johnson after news surrounding his health journey, leading to a hilarious debate about supplements, biohacking, sleep tracking, anti-aging obsessions, and whether spending every waking minute trying not to age actually counts as living.As if that weren't enough, Rizz unveils his completely unscientific "Tell the Truth Day" list of social expiration dates. At what age should backwards hats retire? Is there a point where everyone has to stop calling people "bro?" When should staying out until sunrise become a memory instead of a plan? Everyone disagrees, listeners yell back at their radios, and absolutely nothing gets settled.Meanwhile, congratulations are officially in order for Learn, who somehow found extra hours in the day by splitting time between St. Louis and Chicago. She's now racing from one radio show to another, surviving almost entirely on determination, gas station coffee, and what we're convinced is teleportation.Then comes one of the greatest rabbit holes of the morning. A casual conversation about Skid Row somehow transforms into an in-depth legal defense of Ricky from "18 and Life." Was the sentence fair? Did his attorney fail him? Could manslaughter have changed everything? Before long the crew is pitching an entire sequel where Ricky is released decades later and has to navigate smartphones, social media, and modern life. Sebastian Bach, our lawyers would like royalties if this ever happens.The nostalgia train keeps rolling with conversations about classic rock, Quiet Riot, Great White, unforgettable concerts, Missouri's connection to sliced bread, legendary movies every younger generation needs to watch, and passionate debates over which films absolutely deserve a spot on everyone's must-watch list.The celebrity world isn't spared either during another packed Crap on Celebrities featuring music news, Hollywood headlines, bizarre entertainment stories, AI discussions, and enough pop culture commentary to keep everyone arguing long after the show ends.And because no episode is complete without complete nonsense, we wrap things up debating billionaire air-conditioned tracksuits straight out of Paris before diving into Real or Fake Fireworks. Contestants attempt to identify whether outrageous names are actual fireworks or something Rafe invented after way too much caffeine. Somehow the real products end up sounding even more ridiculous than the fake ones.Whether you're listening on your morning commute, pretending to answer emails, hiding from responsibilities, or simply looking for a reason to laugh, thanks for making us part of your day. Every ridiculous tangent, terrible idea, nostalgic debate, celebrity headline, weird news story, and accidental moment of wisdom is why this daily comedy show continues to be the highlight of our mornings.If you laughed, argued with Rizz, defended rhinestone jeans, questioned the value of stolen fryer grease, or started wondering whether "Neighbor Hater" is actually a real firework, congratulations—you've experienced another daily comedy show exactly the way it was intended.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Theft of used cooking oil in St. Louis was part of vast conspiracy, feds sayIs There a Bedazzled Jeans Epidemic Amongst the Men?What Bryan Johnson's diagnosis says about the limits of health tracking, longevity medicineThis day in history: Sliced bread makes its debut in MissouriSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Some mornings you wake up expecting coffee and headlines. Other mornings you discover there's an underground criminal empire built around stealing used fryer grease, somebody is trying to convince the world that rhinestone jeans are cool again, and Rizz has created an entirely unofficial list of ages when society should politely ask you to stop doing certain things.Welcome to another daily comedy show.This episode starts close to home as the crew talks about local St. Louis news, including Cyberg's Market Street closing after decades downtown, a rash of overnight vehicle break-ins, and why leaving valuables—or firearms—in your car is probably a terrible idea. Naturally, that serious conversation immediately derails into fake stick shifts designed to confuse thieves, mounted muskets, car guns, and inventions that definitely belong on Shark Tank.Then things somehow get even weirder.The crew dives into one of the strangest federal crime stories imaginable: a multi-million-dollar operation involving stolen restaurant grease. Yes... used cooking oil. Apparently yesterday's french fries can become today's organized crime. Between fake paperwork, undercover grease deals, and criminals wearing safety vests to look legitimate, it's almost impressive... almost.Fashion doesn't escape the roast either.Is America really entering another bedazzled era? Are Ed Hardy vibes back? Are JNCO jeans making another run? Lern believes the sparkle has returned, Rafe embraces the chaos, and Rizz refuses to accept that grown men are voluntarily decorating their back pockets with rhinestones. The debate spirals into cowboy fashion, Von Dutch hats, whale tails, and whether anyone should willingly relive the early 2000s.Speaking of questionable life choices...The gang revisits Bryan Johnson—the tech millionaire spending millions every year attempting to reverse aging—after news of his autoimmune diagnosis. The conversation turns into a hilarious debate over supplements, youth fighting, biohacking, overnight health tracking, and whether spending your entire life trying not to age actually counts as living.As if that weren't enough, Rizz unveils his completely scientific (not at all scientific) "Tell the Truth Day" list of socially acceptable expiration dates. At what age should you stop calling everyone "bro?" When should backwards hats retire? Is there an age limit for staying out until sunrise? The crew argues every single rule while listeners undoubtedly yell back at their speakers.Throw in celebrity obsession, social media insanity, relationship debates, bizarre inventions, random tangents, plenty of St. Louis flavor, and enough sarcastic commentary to make your coworkers question why you're laughing at your desk, and you've got another unforgettable morning with The Rizzuto Show.Whether you're listening on the drive to work, pretending to work, or actively avoiding responsibility altogether, thanks for making us part of your day. This daily comedy show exists because of listeners who appreciate ridiculous conversations, terrible ideas, and the occasional accidental moment of wisdom hiding beneath all the nonsense.If you laughed, argued with Rizz, defended bedazzled jeans, or immediately started wondering how much used fryer grease is worth, congratulations—you've officially experienced another daily comedy show the way it was intended.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A neuroscience student mixing supplements in his dorm room. A national kendo competitor who became paraplegic at 19 after a snowboarding accident. Best friends. And then, one scuba diving Groupon later — a company.Jon Bier sits down with Kent Yoshimura and Ryan Chen, co-founders of Neuro, for a conversation ten years in the making. Jon was there early. He gave them his first ever angel check. He watched the whole thing — the grinding first seven years on $1.6 million raised while every other DTC brand was burning through $30 million, the Shark Tank appearance that got them zero deals and exploded their sales, the trademark lawsuit that nearly ended everything, the near-billion dollar brand they built without ever compromising the formula.This isn't a success story. It's a story about what success actually looks like when you build it the right way — slowly, stubbornly, and with your friendship completely intact.Jon has been saying it for a decade. This is the episode where everyone else gets to hear why.In this episode:• How Neuro went from clinical trial side income and Craigslist employees to one of TikTok's top-selling brands and why raising less money than everyone else turned out to be the advantage• The Shark Tank story nobody tells: zero deals, a trademark lawsuit, a cold DM to a billionaire, and the moment everything changed• Why Kent and Ryan have never cut a corner on the formula and what it actually means to be a brand-led company in a world that rewards sales-led thinkingFind Kent, Ryan & Neuro:• Kent on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kentaro/• Ryan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryan.ryc/• Neuro: https://www.getneuro.com• Neuro on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurogum/

What happens when the business you've worked so hard to build no longer feels aligned with who you've become? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Allison Maslan, CEO of Pinnacle Global Network, Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author of, Scale or Fail, which is endorsed by Daymond John and Barbara Corcoran of Shark Tank.  From nearly losing her life after pushing herself beyond her limits to becoming a homeopathic physician and ultimately founding Pinnacle Global Network, Allison's journey is a powerful reminder that every experience prepares you for your next evolution. If you've been feeling disconnected from the work you've built or wondering if it's time for your next chapter, this conversation will give you both the permission and the practical wisdom to move forward with confidence. What You Will Learn: How to recognize the early signs that it's time to pivot before burnout takes over. Why success without alignment eventually leads to dissatisfaction. The importance of trusting your intuition alongside business strategy. How every business experience prepares you for your future purpose. Why following your passion can become your greatest competitive advantage. The mindset shift that allows entrepreneurs to let go of old identities. How scaling requires releasing perfectionism and learning to delegate. What trapeze has taught Alison about fear, trust, resilience, and leadership.

If you want to dramatically increase your influence, income, and impact, there's one skill that consistently separates those who achieve massive success from those who stay stuck — and it's not what most people think. It's mentorship— the ability to both seek out the right mentors and become a powerful mentor to others. In my past interview with Kevin Harrington, original Shark Tank shark and author of the new book Mentor to Millions, we went deep into how mentorship has been the hidden accelerator behind nearly every major breakthrough in his career. Kevin has built multiple nine-figure businesses, and he credits much of his success to the mentors who guided him — and the mentoring mindset he now uses to help others scale. Listen to my podcast interview with Kevin Harrington on Shark-Tank Secrets to Pitch, Partner, and Scale.  You'll walk away with practical strategies you can start using immediately to attract better mentors, mentor others more effectively, and sell with greater integrity and impact.

He came to North America at age 8 from communist Yugoslavia with one suitcase, no connections, and parents who had nothing to give him but opportunity. Robert Herjavec turned that into a $500 million cybersecurity empire. One inch at a time. Robert brings something rare to this conversation: 22 years on Shark Tank, multiple exits, and a front-row seat to what separates businesses that actually scale from ones that just make noise. He's watched thousands of entrepreneurs pitch, fail, succeed, and lie to themselves about which one they're doing. His perspective on where the economy is heading, what AI is actually going to destroy, why most people raise money way too early, and what it genuinely costs to build something lasting is as grounded and unfiltered as anything I've heard from anyone at his level. In this conversation, I push Robert on whether Shark Tank has actually done damage to a generation of entrepreneurs, a question I've asked Damon and Barbara that nobody has answered the way Robert does here. I challenge him on the influencer economy and what it's doing to people's perception of what building a business really looks like. And I get personal with him about faith, fathers, and whether the grind of it all is worth it at this pace.     Here's what you'll gain from this episode: One Inch at a Time: The philosophy Robert has carried since he was 22 years old, and how it connects directly to my "Power of One More" framework - the core of how both Robert and I approach the hardest days in business and in life. What Shark Tank Actually Did to Entrepreneurship: Robert gives the most honest answer I've ever heard from a Shark on whether the show did damage to a generation of entrepreneurs. Hold Your Equity: Why Robert has self-funded every business he's ever built, the advice that shaped that conviction, and a warning about raising money early. Where AI and the Trades Are Heading: Robert's specific read on which industries are about to be wiped out and which are going to double in income. Good Doesn't Mean Weak: The tough lesson both Robert and I learned the hard way and what you should do instead.  This conversation went places neither of us planned, and I think that's what makes it one of my favorites.

"The most unused cash in the country right now is the money you're wasting on healthcare... If you save a million dollars a year, that's $20 million in market cap."Is your company treating its healthcare spend like a business strategy, or are you just writing a blank check to the major insurance carriers every year?In this episode, I was (finally) joined by Mark Cuban, Ann Lewandowski, and Matt Miron. After answering how he would approach healthcare for a hypothetical company on Shark Tank, Mark broke down his exact playbook for mid-market employers: why you should fire traditional networks, the massive ROI of hiring an internal "Healthcare CFO" to negotiate single-case agreements, and why "carve-out" is the most important phrase for your benefit strategy this year. Together, we also discussed the dark side of healthcare economics, including the exorbitant spread pricing of PBMs and distributors, how to use AI (like Claude or ChatGPT) to find the hidden "gotchas" in your ASO contracts, and the terrifying legal liabilities CEOs face when their carriers deny life-saving treatments.This one has been in the works for years, and I hope it doesn't disappoint.

Before heading into the weekend, there are a few minor issues we need to clear up. One: that weirdo Trump FEMA official is leaving. Which one? The one who teleported into a Waffle House, of course. How is he leaving? That we don't know, and it might not even be worth trying to guess, honestly. Oh, and remember the Shark Tank weirdo who was so sure that anyone opposing his plans for a mega data center in Utah just had to be a Chinese Communist Party front? Well, he's backing off of that one. Which is nice, I guess. Oh, oh, and remember that housing bill that both was and wasn't presented to the president for signature? Well, it's been presented. Again? Maybe? Oh, oh, oh, and remember Elise Stefanik? Well, we'll be rid of her for the time being, but MAGA weirdos are hoping to replace her with a different MAGA weirdo. Oh, oh, oh, oh, and remember the Reflecting Pool? It doesn't really matter if you don't, because it's whole history is going to be made up, anyway. Anyway, it turns out that the only contractor with real experience in dealing with it didn't want anything to do with Trump's plans for it. So they gave the job to Gomez Addams, instead. Looking ahead, at least on a story that's already got a long and checkered past, Todd Blanche and the DOJ might kinda sorta be in some trouble over the Epstein Files. But you know how that whole executive branch accountability thing goes. Though there are still some solid efforts being made at reviving the concept. It's all the more important, given that the leopards who ate the faces of the original "relitigate Watergate" champions are now looking to relitigate Watergate. Are you old enough to remember when ICE was spending like a drunken sailor, buying up every warehouse it could find and trying to "Whydontchajust" them into detention centers? Well, now they're trying to un-whydontchajust 'em (and pin the blame on Kristi Noem). One last thing to stow away for the weekend: the next blossoming scandal has dropped! Trump's looking to exploit LA28 Olympic organizers' need to stay on "the government's" good side by squeezing them for some kind of quasi-affiliated, pre-Olympics golf tournament at his LA club. That's not even a thing! But neither is remaining president while suffering from degenerative dementia.

Send us Fan MailNobody at the pharmacy counter knows the real price of their medication, and almost nobody in the system actually wants them to.Mark Cuban, Co-Founder of Cost Plus Drugs, joins host John Driscoll on CareTalk to discuss why pharmacy benefit managers control 85% of drug formularies in this country, how spread pricing quietly inflates the cost of everything from generics to hip replacements, and why true price transparency, not just lower prices, is the real disruption Cost Plus Drugs has brought to a $5 trillion industry.

Ryan Duey was living in an RV with his float spas closed and no backup plan when he and Michael Garrett built their first cold plunge from a retrofitted $100 bathtub in a garage. They turned their Shopify store on with zero marketing—and got a sale. What followed was one of the most unlikely scaling stories in DTC history: $30 million to $80 million in a single year, $250 million in cumulative revenue, four sharks bidding on Shark Tank, and a category they essentially created from scratch—all bootstrapped, all assembled in-house in California. In this interview, the co-founders of Plunge break down the real cost of scaling a high-ticket inventory business, why they lost an estimated $20 million in revenue from lead times alone, and the organic influencer strategy that built the brand before they ever ran a paid ad. What you'll learn in this interview: • How they got their first sale with zero marketing—and the Black Friday that showed them how big this could get • The cash flow trap every inventory-heavy founder hits: why a great P&L and an empty bank account can exist at the same time • How customer prepayments funded growth for years—and what forced the switch to holding inventory • Why long lead times cost Plunge an estimated $20 million in lost sales • From buying parts on Amazon to co-designing a custom chiller in China—the full supply chain evolution • How a single Instagram comment to Aubrey Marcus started a chain of organic gifting to Huberman, Tony Hawk, and Rich Roll • The Shark Tank deal that never closed—and why they still got the PR, the airing, and the exposure • How they bought plunge.com from a New Orleans jazz band for $250K—and why the trademark was the bigger win • Why nearly half of all orders close through a phone call or SMS, not a checkout button • How they raised $1.3 million from their own customers in under two weeks via Wefunder If you're building a high-ticket DTC brand, navigating the brutal cash flow realities of an inventory-heavy business, or trying to grow without burning cash on paid ads before you're ready, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about scaling, supply chain, and what it actually takes to build a category from a garage.

Socks are the #1 most requested item at homeless shelters. Dave Heath turned that single fact into Bombas — a one-for-one apparel brand that's donated over 200 million items of clothing and built a billion-dollar business along the way. What makes Dave a builder worth studying isn't just the scale; it's the discipline behind it: reverse-engineering an exceptional product from a mission, learning to test before betting, and protecting a brand as it grows.In this episode, I sit down with Dave to break down:• How he reverse-engineered an "exceptional product" from a donation mission — and brought athletic-sock innovation to the mass market• The Shark Tank breakout: from $800K to $2M in revenue in the six weeks after airing — and why ~20% of customers still affiliate Bombas with the show• The expensive lesson of expanding into adjacent products too fast — and the MVP-testing discipline that replaced it• Why the "obvious" extensions (underwear, t-shirts) underperformed while a sleeper bet (slippers) became 20% of the business• Radical-ish transparency: telling the whole company about a planned IPO and trusting adults to keep it quiet — and they did• The mark of a great founder: the self-awareness to evolve his own role as the company scaled, and how he screened his successor for humility• How Bombas is approaching AI — getting the whole company trained on Claude and Claude Code, and why building AI as a competency beat chasing shiny enterprise toolsBig thanks to Dave for coming on the pod and sharing the playbook — and the mindset — behind Bombas.⏱️ Chapter Markers:00:00 — Intro.

The confessions are back, and this time we're discovering just how sinful true crime fans can be. Joined by true crime creator Abby Blabby (Abby Escobar), Trevin and Amanda open the Crime Con confession box and read anonymous (and occasionally very identifiable) submissions collected from attendees in Las Vegas. From petty theft and self-checkout "accidents" to dine-and-dashes, unpaid tolls, petting zoo break-ins, workplace mischief, and revenge plots involving dog poop and a cheating ex, these confessions prove that even true crime fans have a criminal side. Before diving into the confessions, Trevin explains why Shark Tank is no longer his favorite comfort viewing after one too many billionaire success stories. Amanda deals with the aftermath of a powerful storm that took down one of her massive trees. And Abby shares an unforgettable Dreadful Dilemma involving a first date, a perfect bathroom, and a gastrointestinal emergency that quickly spiraled out of control. Then it's time to read the confessions, judge the crimes, and discover what happens when the audience becomes the suspect. Featuring petty theft, petty revenge, questionable life choices, and some of the funniest stories to come out of Crime Con Las Vegas.

On this episode of This Can't Be Real with Brad, Brad dives into three stories that somehow prove common sense is officially on life support. First, a gender reveal party turns into a full-blown wildfire after a couple uses pyrotechnics to announce their baby, leading to firefighters, helicopters, and enough chaos to make Spencer Pratt furious. Then things get even stranger when a man loses his emotional support alligator inside a hotel, forcing confused guests and terrified employees into the most stressful continental breakfast experience imaginable.And finally, Brad reacts to a criminal mastermind who steals a bicycle… only to list it on Facebook Marketplace and accidentally try selling it back to the original owner.Along the way, Brad goes on hilarious tangents about modern gender reveals, Holiday Inn survival tactics, emotional support animals getting completely out of hand, and why criminals should probably stop using Facebook Marketplace like it's Shark Tank. It's another episode full of unbelievable real stories, savage commentary, and the kind of chaos that makes you nervous to leave your house.

ORDER MY NEW BOOK (AVAILABLE NOW)!!! — https://bit.ly/49CZ5A0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ It is officially summer, teacher besties, and I have made a HUGE mistake. I decided I wasn't going to pay for summer camp this year, which means I'm home with my own children, who can apparently sense when I'm overstimulated and somehow get closer AND louder. This week's How to Survive the Classroom is a wide-ranging chat that takes us from Gerry's truly unhinged childhood Holocaust summer camp, to the ethics of ghost tours, to the dark history of New Orleans, to the new-teacher essentials you do (and definitely DON'T) actually need. Then I get on a soapbox about the real hill this week: the federal Department of Education said it was going away, and somehow Linda McMahon is still posting mandates on Instagram. We also briefly fall down the rabbit hole of Stone Cold Steve Austin running for office and the MMA stadium being built on the White House lawn, because of course we do. Takeaways: New teachers, save your money. Highlighters, fancy turn-in baskets, and elaborate organizational systems are mostly overrated. Focus your energy on a bathroom-pass system you'll actually use. The most underrated new-teacher skill is teaching classroom routines on purpose. If kids walk in wrong, make them walk in again. They'll be annoyed, but it works. The "everyone else has it together" myth is a lie. Even veteran teachers are pivoting, guessing, and occasionally throwing on Shark Tank when the copies didn't get made. Year seven is when you officially become a veteran teacher, with bonus dog years for anyone who taught through the pandemic or wore multiple hats early in their career. When the federal government says it's dismantling the Department of Education but is somehow still issuing mandates, it's worth paying attention and worth pushing back, no matter where you sit politically. -- Teachers' night out?

On this episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis is joined by producer Eric for a lively discussion sparked by a comedy clip criticizing entrepreneurs who appear on Shark Tank. What starts as a conversation about movies and pop culture quickly turns into a deeper breakdown of business funding, startup growth, and why many founders misunderstand the true value of investment partnerships. Travis shares insights from his experience interviewing entrepreneurs and investors, explaining why the money from a Shark Tank deal is often far less important than the relationships, credibility, and exposure that come with it. On this episode we talk about: Why Shark Tank can be valuable even when founders don't get the deal they want The difference between bank loans and equity investments How strategic partnerships can accelerate business growth The rise and decline of Shark Tank's television audience over the years Why exposure, credibility, and connections are often worth more than capital Top 3 Takeaways The biggest benefit of appearing on Shark Tank isn't the investment—it's the massive exposure, credibility, and brand recognition that come from being featured on the show. Equity investors provide more than money; they bring strategic guidance, industry relationships, and access to opportunities that can dramatically accelerate growth. Entrepreneurs should evaluate funding options based on their business goals, because loans and equity investments serve very different purposes. Notable Quotes "First and foremost, it is the traffic and the eyeballs from people watching Shark Tank." "The investment is obviously one thing, but the value is the credibility from putting that logo on your website and all of your ads." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems with money in the bank."
