Secure Firearm Storage, Fast Access, and Surprising Truths About Gun Safes with Tom Kubiniec In this episode, Kevin and Craig sit down with Tom Kubiniec, CEO of SecureIt Tactical, to talk about the real science behind firearm storage, what every homeowner gets wrong about gun safes, and why “fast access” is more than just convenience—it's survival. Tom's story is incredible: from professional guitarist to the leading authority in military armory design, to building the firearm storage platform used by U.S. Special Forces. He breaks down how the industry misleads consumers, why fire ratings are basically a myth, how thieves actually move through a home, and how strategic decentralized storage can protect families better than any giant safe in the basement. Whether you own one gun or twenty, this episode will change the way you think about securing them in your home. About Our Guest: Tom Kubiniec – SecureIt Tactical Tom is the founder & CEO of SecureIt Tactical, the largest supplier of weapon storage systems to the U.S. military and a leading innovator in consumer gun storage. Drawing from engineering, armory design, and decades of field experience, Tom brings a radically different approach to safe firearm access and security.
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Jocelyn Pearson. Purpose of the Interview The interview on Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushion McDonald and Jocelyn Pearson aimed to: Share Jocelyn’s journey of graduating debt-free by securing $126,350 in scholarships. Educate families on how to avoid student loan debt through her proven system, The Scholarship System. Dispel myths about scholarships and provide actionable steps for parents and students. Key Takeaways Scholarship System Approach Jocelyn developed a six-step process to simplify scholarship applications and avoid overwhelm. Focus on breaking the process into small, manageable steps rather than a vague “go get money” directive. Common Myths Debunked Too early or too late to apply: Start by junior year; it’s never too late—even college seniors can apply. Only perfect students or low-income families qualify: Many scholarships don’t require high GPA or athletic ability. All good scholarships are gone: Smaller, local scholarships ($500–$5,000) add up over time. It takes too much time: With a system and reusable materials, effort decreases each year. Avoiding Scholarship Scams Beware of “easy,” “enter to win,” or sweepstakes-style scholarships—they often sell personal data. Real scholarships require effort and personalization. Role of Parents Parents should help with planning and identifying legitimate scholarships but not complete applications for students. Committees can detect when parents write essays. AI in Scholarship Applications Jocelyn warns against copy-pasting AI-generated essays. Her platform introduced TESS, an AI assistant for ethical guidance and support. Financial Aid Basics Submit FAFSA even if you think you won’t qualify; some colleges and states require it. Combine all sources—government aid, institutional aid, and private scholarships. For Current College Students Check with financial aid offices, academic departments, and organizations for scholarships available after freshman year. Entrepreneurial Journey Jocelyn turned her passion into a business by starting with a book, building an email list, and launching webinars. She emphasizes persistence and ignoring naysayers. Notable Quotes “I had to accumulate my way to getting college paid for—the mere mortals’ way to going to college without tons of debt.” “Most families want scholarships, but they get stuck in the overwhelm.” “There’s no big red easy button—but with clear steps, it feels less daunting.” “We’re saying no to the broken system… It takes, on average, 21 years to pay off student loans.” “With great power comes great responsibility—AI can help, but only if used ethically.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Corporate travel isn't easing back into old habits — it's reinventing itself, and hoteliers who cling to the past will lose business they didn't even know they were missing. I spoke with Lukasz Dabrowski, SVP of Global Supplier Relations at HRS Group, about why 2025 became the turning point for travel procurement and how 2026 will reward hotels that understand converged demand, Level 3 data, and real-time negotiation. On #NoVacancyNews, Lukasz breaks down why annual RFP cycles are disappearing, how "travel CEOs" use invoice-level data to renegotiate instantly, and what hotels must change to stay competitive as AI and real-time visibility reshape corporate buying behavior.

Scientists have been searching for dark matter for decades. They haven’t found it – every experiment they’ve devised has come up empty. But they haven’t given up. Among other ideas, they’re thinking about ways to use moons, planets, and stars as detectors. Dark matter appears to make up about 85 percent of all the matter in the universe. We know it’s there because its gravity pulls on the visible stars and galaxies around it. Dark matter may consist of a type of particle that almost never interacts with normal matter. But it should interact just enough to reveal its nature. Experiments here on Earth haven’t seen any such interactions. So some scientists recommend using astronomical objects instead of lab experiments. Blobs of dark matter might enfold a binary star system. The dark matter’s gravity could pull the two stars away from each other. And dark matter might clump together to make a special kind of star. Both of those might be detectable with current telescopes. Smaller blobs might slam into an icy moon, creating a special kind of crater. Such craters could be visible on Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter. Two missions on their way to Jupiter might be able to see them. And dark matter might fall into the center of a planet and hang around. If enough builds up, it could heat the planet’s interior. So by studying many planets in other star systems, we might see some that are unusually warm – heated up by encounters with dark matter. Script by Damond Benningfield

In this conversation, AI leaders Beth White and Vince Freeman break down what is actually happening inside companies as they attempt to adopt AI. They explore why so many pilots fall short, how individual employees are often ahead of organizational strategies, and why success depends less on tools and more on mindset, literacy, and culture. They share practical insights on building AI strategy with purpose, including who should be involved, how to identify the right problems to automate, and why HR plays a critical role in workforce transformation. The discussion highlights the importance of empowering people, creating trust, and moving beyond traditional cost metrics to understand where AI creates the most value.

Smaller, focused use cases with the right tools lead to faster wins. Real impact is in operational efficiency, not just sales or revenue. Adoption improves when employees trust the process and see how AI helps their role. Success should measure productivity, agility, and growth, not just cost savings.
Danilo Zatta is the author of The Pricing Model Revolution, The 10 Rules of Highly Effective Pricing, and the new book Revenue Growth Management. He is recognized as one of LinkedIn's Top 5 Pricing Thought Leaders and brings decades of consulting experience from Accenture, Simon-Kucher, and BCG. His work is anchored in one simple insight: pricing is the "sunny side" of consulting. He shares real examples of companies that increased profit by cutting ineffective promotions and by detecting thousands of spare-part pricing outliers with AI. This episode explores pricing leadership, the CEO's role, the difference between pricing truth and framework preference, and why democratized pricing knowledge makes talent the true competitive advantage. Why You Have to Check Out This Episode: Learn how AI spots hidden pricing outliers across hundreds of thousands of SKUs and turns them into instant profit. Discover why FMCG companies burn cash on promotions and how smart RGM frameworks finally fix it. Understand the real "truth" behind pricing frameworks and why people, not methodology, drive pricing success. "Start the AI pricing journey—not by boiling the ocean—but by finding a use case that works, proves value, and then expand it." – Danilo Zatta Topics Covered: 01:27 - How Dan Got Into Pricing. His shift from cost-cutting to pricing and why he calls it the "sunny side" of consulting. 06:57 - Freedom in Consulting Choices.

Key Takeaways: "Pricing used to be specialized knowledge. Today it's democratized—so what differentiates you is the team, not the tools." – Danilo Zatta "If you're the market leader, you must act first. Smaller players can't reduce promotions until you do." – Danilo Zatta "Pricing is never boring because every industry has its own logic, levers, and constraints." – Danilo Zatta Books by Danilo Zatta: The Pricing Model Revolution: https://www.amazon.it/Pricing-revolution-pricing-cambier%C3%A0-comprare/dp/8836010547/ The 10 Rules of Highly Effective Pricing: https://www.amazon.com/Rules-Highly-Effective-Pricing-Management/dp/1394195761 Revenue Growth Management: https://www.amazon.it/Revenue-Management-Manufacturing-Application-Industry/dp/3319807595/ Connect with Danilo Zatta: Website: https://www.danilozatta.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danilo-zatta Books: https://www.danilozatta.com/books/ Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving Email: mark@impactpricing.com
In this Week 48 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, hosts Ingrid and Henning review another eventful period in the global ship recycling market as the industry navigates uneven fundamentals and prepares for the final month of the year. Market conditions across South Asia remained under pressure. Steel plate prices declined in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and China. The US dollar weakened in all major recycling destinations except Turkey. Freight markets continued their positive momentum, with the Baltic Dry Index rising by 3.2% to its highest level since December 2023. Oil prices stayed soft and ended the week near 59 dollars per ton, almost 14% lower than a year ago. Supply of recycling candidates remains limited as owners continue trading their vessels on strong freight earnings. Global supply tightness contributed to a mixed pricing environment. Smaller lightweight units are often trading below 400 dollars per lightweight ton, while cleaner and larger vessels can still command higher levels in select locations. Bangladesh stayed at the top of the pricing charts. Indicative levels were about 410 dollars per lightweight ton for bulkers, 430 dollars for tankers and 440 dollars for container vessels. Domestic fundamentals, however, weakened again. Local steel plate prices fell by 11 dollars to about 506 dollars per ton. The Taka improved slightly and closed at 122.08. Political tensions remain in the background ahead of the February 2026 elections. Chattogram recorded five new arrivals this week, including LPG units, a bulker and a chemical tanker, totaling 22,459 lightweight tons. Bangladesh now has 21 approved HKC yards, with one more close to completion. India experienced another quiet week. Most tonnage continues to struggle to reach 400 dollars per lightweight ton, keeping Alang behind Bangladesh and Pakistan for preferred vessels. Steel plate prices slipped to about 390 dollars per ton, and the Rupee ended the week around 89.35. Indicative pricing remained about 380 dollars per lightweight ton for bulkers, 400 dollars for tankers and 410 dollars for container ships. Although India reported GDP growth of 8.2 percent, the recycling market continues to face pressure from higher import costs, weaker domestic sentiment and stronger competition from HKC-compliant yards elsewhere. Pakistan recorded the most important development of the week. Prime Green Recyclers in Gadani received HKC approval from Bureau Veritas, the first yard in Pakistan to qualify. Additional yards are undergoing upgrades and are expected to follow in the next few months. Steel plate prices in Pakistan declined by 7 dollars to about 579 dollars per ton. The Rupee firmed slightly to around 282. Indicative pricing stood at 400 dollars per lightweight ton for bulkers, 420 dollars for tankers and 430 dollars for container units. Gadani did not receive any new vessels this week. Turkey remained stable. Prices held around 260 dollars per lightweight ton for bulkers, 270 dollars for tankers and 280 dollars for container vessels. The Turkish Lira weakened further and moved past 42.50 against the US dollar. Inflation remains elevated, although the economy continues to show growth. Recycling activity in Aliaga stayed limited. Across the subcontinent, the market continues to operate with restricted supply, weaker fundamentals and shifting currency conditions. HKC progress in Bangladesh and Pakistan is improving the competitive landscape and setting the stage for stronger compliance and sustainability in the year ahead.

Are the foods in your trolley really Australian owned, and should you be worried about MSG or that 2-kilo overnight weight jump after a salty meal? In this episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell unpack how to support Aussie-owned brands, the real story on MSG, and why salt can make the scales jump without you gaining body fat. In this episode, we cover: The Aussie-owned supermarket brands worth supporting Why there are so few 100% Australian-owned and operated food companies on our shelves The big-name Aussie brands Leanne and Susie actually buy, including cereals, dairy, oils, snacks and condiments How Australian ownership, local jobs and higher ingredient standards often translate to better nutritional quality Fun facts about Sanitarium’s not-for-profit structure and SPC as the last remaining Australian-owned fruit and veg processor Smaller state-based dairies and boutique brands to look out for in your local supermarket MSG: what the science says vs what social media says What MSG actually is, how it’s made, and why glutamate naturally occurs in foods like tomatoes, mushrooms and cheese How to spot MSG and other flavour enhancers on labels (621, 635 and friends) Why major health bodies consider MSG safe at normal intakes, and why “Chinese restaurant syndrome” hasn’t held up in blinded trials The real issue: ultra-processed, highly flavoured snacks that drive overeating, especially in kids Common supermarket foods that still contain flavour enhancers, and how to choose plainer, less “more-ish” options instead Product Spotlight: the Moroccan tomato dip Leanne and Susie love A deep dive on Tahini Miri Moroccan Matbucha, a chunky tomato-based dip with 87% tomatoes Why the ingredient list is so impressive compared to most dips in the fridge section How to use it: on veggie sticks, crackers, omelettes, eggs, sourdough or as a salsa-style base for quick meals Why cooked tomato products are a great way to boost lycopene and plant intake, especially during party season Salt, fluid retention and “overnight” weight gain The recommended daily sodium and salt limits for healthy adults, and how much Australians are actually having Why your weight can jump 1–2 kilos after a salty meal or takeaway, even if you’ve been eating well Who genuinely needs to watch salt more closely (e.g. high blood pressure, kidney or fluid issues) and who doesn’t need to stress over a pinch in home cooking Simple label-reading rules: what counts as low, moderate and high sodium per serve Practical ways to cut back on salt without eating bland food, using herbs, spices and smarter product choices How to keep party-season canapés, chips and takeaway in check without feeling deprived Plus How Leanne and Susie think about “supporting local” in a realistic, supermarket-based way Why choosing more minimally processed options automatically helps with both salt and additive intake Reassurance that balance matters more than perfection when it comes to salt, MSG and processed foods If your goal is to shop more consciously, support local brands, and stop panicking about every ingredient on the label, this episode will give you a clear, calm roadmap.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Limelight is building the infrastructure layer for B2B creator marketing, processing payments and managing campaigns for companies spending six figures monthly on creator partnerships. With $2.1 million in funding from Signal to Noise Ratio, Ascend Ventures, Savion Ventures, and strategic angels including the head of AI at Amazon and the former Chief Product Officer at Lyft, Limelight powers creator programs for Clay, Webflow, ZoomInfo, and Bill.com. In this episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with David Walsh, Founder and CEO of Limelight, to learn how he validated the market by interviewing 100+ creators, why he deliberately chose not to build an agency despite customer demand, and how his platform tracks engagement data at scale to prove ROI for performance-focused buyers. Topics Discussed: The pivot from referral software to B2B creator infrastructure after 100+ creator interviews How creator attitudes shifted from refusing brand partnerships to actively monetizing Clay's playbook: building custom Clay tables for creators before asking them to post Why Limelight chose to power agencies rather than compete with them The data infrastructure required to justify $100K+ monthly creator budgets Tracking organic engagement, converting content to paid ads, and attributing pipeline The split between brand/social buyers and performance/demand gen buyers Launching social listening to challenge legacy social media management platforms GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Validate with 100+ user interviews before pivoting: David didn't just chat with a handful of potential users—he conducted and recorded over 100 interviews with B2B creators, asking detailed questions about monetization interest, partnership preferences, and content strategies. He then repeated this process with marketing leaders. This level of research rigor before committing to a pivot is rare but critical when entering emerging categories. The depth of qualitative research gave him conviction to make a contrarian bet when most creators were still refusing brand partnerships. Build where network effects are structural, not hoped for: David specifically chose a creator marketplace after a previous marketplace failure because the unit economics included built-in virality. When Limelight pays a creator $10,000, that creator has tens of thousands of followers who see the transaction result (the sponsored content). Every payment notification becomes inbound interest. He understood that in consumer marketplaces you compete on supply quality, but in creator marketplaces the supply actively markets your platform. Founders should identify whether their marketplace has structural network effects in the transaction itself, not just theoretical ones. Target micro-creators with niche audiences over vanity metrics: The counterintuitive insight: creators with 10,000-25,000 followers often outperform those with 100,000+ in B2B because deal sizes are $25K-$50K, not $100 sunglasses. Smaller creators have higher engagement rates, unsaturated audiences, authentic expertise in specific domains, and haven't been "bought and sold for" yet. When brands face the choice between a 100K-follower creator at $2,000 per post with 200 likes versus a 25K-follower creator at $1,000 per post with 300 likes, they irrationally choose the larger following. Founders should educate buyers that in B2B, targeted influence within specific buyer committees matters more than reach. Build data infrastructure to win performance buyers, not just brand buyers: Limelight tracks every piece of content in real-time (not waiting weeks for creator screenshots), monitors all engagement and segments it by ICP fit, provides self-reported attribution from demo forms, tracks website traffic spikes correlated to posting schedules, and generates qualified lead lists from content engagement. This comprehensive data layer is what allows demand gen leaders to reallocate spend from paid channels. The market is splitting 50/50 between brand/social buyers and performance/demand gen buyers—the latter has larger budgets and treats creator spend like paid media that requires attribution. Founders entering new marketing channels should build attribution infrastructure from day one, not as an afterthought. Deliberately choose infrastructure over services even when customers ask for help: Despite customers like Webflow, ZoomInfo, and Bill.com spending $100K+ monthly and requesting more hands-on support, David chose to build product and enable agencies rather than hire account managers and become a service business. His reasoning: people have tried to replace agencies in recruiting for decades and failed because buyers want the human in the middle. The bigger opportunity is being the infrastructure that powers all agencies, not competing with them. This fork-in-the-road decision—hire CSMs and influencer marketing managers versus build more product—defines whether you're building a scalable platform or a services business disguised as SaaS. Use your first customer to custom-build product, then scale it: Clay became Limelight's first customer when the platform was early. David essentially custom-built features for Clay's creator program, learning their workflow for building Clay tables for creators, their onboarding process, and their approach to creative freedom. This deep partnership gave Limelight the product foundation to scale from managing 20 creators to 200+ for Clay within nine months, then apply those learnings to other customers. Rather than building in a vacuum, founders should find a sophisticated first customer willing to co-develop the product, even if it means initially building something custom. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Hosts Steve and Lisa Cuss explore how to manage your mental load, emotional load, and anxiety by revisiting powerful conversations with Clarissa Moll, Lysa TerKeurst, and Abby Thompson. Together, they unpack how emotional and mental “fields” work, how anxiety spreads between people, and what it means to stay human-sized instead of reacting by getting bigger or smaller. Clarissa shares insights on reactivity and the “mama bear” instinct, Lysa offers transformative wisdom on boundaries, codependency, and healing from unwanted divorce, and Abby brings a Gen Z perspective on comparison, social media, and the slow work of God. It's a practical guide for anyone seeking Christian emotional health, anxiety management, spiritual formation, self-awareness, and healthier relationships rooted in God's presence and peace.

In this 2025 Week 47 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, host Ingrid and co-host Henning review another challenging week in global ship recycling as forums and frictions shape sentiment across South Asia. Oil futures slipped to around USD 57.7 per barrel, freight rates stayed active but below last year's highs, local steel plate prices weakened in key recycling destinations, and currency devaluations in India and Bangladesh continued to erode recyclers' purchasing power. Regulators in the United States and European Union also moved ahead with new sanctions on Russia and Iran, targeting dark fleet activity and raising questions over how hundreds of older vessels will eventually be recycled. Global Market Overview Market volatility persisted through late November. Oil prices are now more than 6% lower on the month and around 16% below the same period in 2024. The Baltic Dry Index improved week on week but remains far under last year's levels, which limits demolition candidates even as older tonnage creeps closer to recycling age. Combined with softer steel prices and unstable foreign exchange markets, this has kept supply tight and negotiations cautious at ship recycling yards. Bangladesh Bangladesh remains the price leader in South Asia, with demo indications around USD 410 per LDT for dry bulk, USD 430 for tankers, and USD 440 for container vessels. Despite the pricing edge, 2025 has been thin on actual volumes. Inflation has hovered between 8% and 9%, and the Bangladeshi Taka weakened again to roughly BDT 122.5 per USD. Local steel plate prices slipped to about USD 525.9 per ton as yards struggle to move stockpiled recycled steel while cheaper imported scrap continues to pressure domestic demand. Political tensions ahead of the February 2026 elections and sporadic unrest are adding to the cautious tone. On the positive side, Bangladesh has now reached 20 HKC approved yards, with more facilities working through the certification process and ongoing worker training through the GMS Sustainable Ship and Offshore Recycling Program. India The Alang recycling market stayed quiet. Few new deals were reported as Indian recyclers faced a sharp currency move. The Rupee fell to around Rs 89.6 per USD, bringing it close to the Rs 90 level that undermines confidence in future pricing. Steel plate prices improved slightly to approximately USD 398 per ton but remain below the USD 400 threshold. Smaller or less preferred ships are still priced under USD 400 per LDT even though nominal demo indications stand near USD 380 for bulk carriers, USD 400 for tankers, and USD 410 for container ships. With limited tonnage, weaker currency, and competition from lower-cost imported steel, Alang's yards are under pressure, and India's long-standing advantage as the main HKC compliant destination is beginning to narrow as Bangladesh and Pakistan add more approved yards. Pakistan Pakistan delivered the week's most encouraging structural development. Gadani's first HKC compliant recycling yard is expected to receive formal approval shortly, with two or three additional yards targeted over the next few months and further upgrades planned into mid 2026. This represents a significant step in bringing Pakistan fully into the compliant recycling landscape. In the short term, however, trading conditions remain subdued. Domestic steel plate prices fell by USD 11 to around USD 586 per ton, still the highest level in the region but weighed down by cheaper product imported from Iran. The Pakistani Rupee firmed slightly to about PKR 282.6 per USD, yet this was not enough to lift sentiment. For the third consecutive week, there were no meaningful fresh market arrivals, and demo indications remain around USD 400 per LDT for bulkers, USD 420 for tankers and USD 430 for containers. Turkey The Aliaga market was steady but very quiet. Prices held in the USD 260 to 270 per LDT range for bulk and tanker units and close to USD 280 for container vessels. The Turkish Lira weakened further, moving beyond TRY 42.4 per USD. Steel plate prices and demand were largely unchanged, leaving local yards operating in a constrained, high cost environment with little new tonnage to work on. Market Sentiment and Outlook Across South Asia and Turkey, ship recyclers are facing the combined weight of weaker currencies, softer or stagnant steel values, and a limited flow of recycling candidates. At the same time, HKC progress in Bangladesh and the first approvals in Pakistan are building a stronger foundation for compliant and sustainable ship recycling in the years ahead. As 2026 approaches, attention is turning to how the industry will manage the growing pool of aging dark fleet ships and 30 year old vessels once freight markets ease and demolition activity finally starts to pick up.

Gerald Sparrow thinks volatility creates opportunity for purchases and sees a 1%-2% upside because of year-end funding needs for 401(k)s and other instruments. Gerald expects consumers to be spending big on Black Friday and holiday sales and is concentrating on retail and communication services. He especially highlights “smaller ticket items” that will improve retailer volume, and anticipates Walmart (WMT) and Amazon (AMZN) taking share.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
In this lively and candid episode, UNB Tim sits down with Tim Wildman, founder of WildmanT, to discuss the evolution of his brand and how he became the go-to creator of big-pouch underwear. The conversation dives into how the Big Dick Underwear Company was born, how marketing restrictions shaped the brand's voice, the challenges of producing in the U.S., and the surprising demographics of his customer base. The two Tims explore the rise of pouch-focused underwear, being copied by competitors, the unexpected popularity of thongs among straight men, and the growth of the modified/pumpers community that helped shape WildmanT's Monster Cock line. The episode also touches on social media censorship, customer needs, limited-edition drops, and upcoming product ideas like leggings and swim thongs. Funny, brutally honest, and packed with insider industry insights, this episode highlights the importance of solving real problems for real men—and the sometimes wild world of men's underwear design. ⸻ Takeaways Brand Origins & Strategy • WildmanT started in 2009 with novelty items but pivoted after consistent copying and marketing limitations. • When ads weren't allowed, he turned keywords into his main advertising strategy—using language big brands couldn't. • Search terms like “big dick underwear” became a goldmine because buyers were already looking for exactly that. Building a Unique Market • WildmanT intentionally targeted underserved men in middle America who struggled with comfort in standard underwear. • His brand became one of the first fully dedicated “big pouch” companies, not just a single product line. Challenges of Social Media & E-Commerce • Platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Amazon routinely flag men's underwear images regardless of compliance. • Even mannequin photos are often rejected, forcing the use of “ghost” product shots. • Automated content moderation is inconsistent, making it difficult for underwear brands to operate normally online. Product Evolution • Customer demand continually pushed for bigger pouches—today's “Big Boy” is nearly double its original size. • The Monster Cock pouch was born from needs of the modified/pumpers community. • Limited editions (Halloween, upcoming Santa brief) sell out immediately and won't be reproduced. Manufacturing Philosophy • All WildmanT products are made in Fort Lauderdale, FL, which increases costs but maintains quality and control. • The team is exploring leggings, but pricing and production costs remain a barrier. • Swimwear thongs may return soon. Customer Insights • 60–70% of WildmanT customers are straight men seeking comfort solutions. • Doctors who perform implants and scrotal enhancement surgeries recommend WildmanT to patients. • Big dick underwear isn't just about vanity—many buyers struggle with long-term comfort and mobility issues. Industry Commentary • Copycat designs are rampant in the underwear market. • Smaller brands often lose out when competing companies mass-produce their ideas. • Despite growing acceptance, men's underwear is still difficult to market due to censorship and social taboos. ⸻ Sound Bites • “My raunchy mouth is what made me the king of big dick underwear.” • “People searched for big dick problems—but nobody marketed to them until I did.” • “There are things out there bigger than I ever thought possible.” • “If you're hard, you should probably take your underwear off and start fucking.” • “I make everything in the U.S. because I want perfection—and oversight.” • “Some people buy my underwear not because they need it, but because it makes them feel good.” • “Everything I make is designed for support and comfort first. Fun comes second.” • “Many of my customers have spent 20, 30, sometimes 40 years trying to find underwear that finally fits.” • “The Monster Cock pouch was created because the modified community needed an off-the-shelf solution.” • “I can't hide from my Southern family what I do—they see the site and think it's wild.” Links: Store – www.wildmant.com Social Twitter – https://x.com/BigBoyPouch YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/wildmantonline Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/wildmantim Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/wildmantonline NOTE – if reading this after the show has dropped, sometimes the account gets deleted by the social media site.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSomething big was supposed to happen this week. Leaders promised it. Headlines pushed it. Supporters waited for the moment the truth would finally drop. Instead the country watched the entire build up collapse into silence and excuses.The episode opens with a look at the distance between what powerful people say and what they actually deliver. Cameras roll. Statements fly. The public braces for impact. Then the moment arrives and absolutely nothing materializes.From there the focus shifts to a quiet crisis hitting ordinary people who are simply trying to book a place to stay. Listings look perfect. Photos look flawless. The trip seems set. Then the traveler shows up and learns the entire thing was an illusion designed to take their money.Victims are left stranded and stunned. Seniors lose the trip they saved for. Students lose the little they managed to put aside. Companies promise to investigate but those promises do not rebuild plans that vanished overnight.Another story unfolds in a completely different corner of daily life. Portions are shrinking at places that claim nothing has changed. Bags look lighter. Boxes look thinner. Plates show up with portions so small you wonder if half the meal went missing on the way to the table.The trend is spreading and the explanations never match the reality in front of people. Friendly phrases hide smaller servings. Prices stay the same while the product quietly erodes. It is a small thing that points to a much bigger pattern.All of these threads connect. Empty promises at the top. Quiet tricks in the middle. Smaller portions everywhere except the excuses. Each piece reveals the same message disguised in a different part of the news cycle.And because it is the Friday show the episode still lands on the edge of sanity with a real story that sounds completely impossible until you hear it. A moment that lets you exhale before the weekend begins.If you enjoy the podcast and want to help keep this independent show going through the year I would be grateful for your support. Every contribution no matter the amount helps me cover the real costs behind producing A World Gone Mad.Your listenership already means everything. There is never any obligation to give.

Jocelyn Pearson. Purpose of the Interview The interview on Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushion McDonald and Jocelyn Pearson aimed to: Share Jocelyn’s journey of graduating debt-free by securing $126,350 in scholarships. Educate families on how to avoid student loan debt through her proven system, The Scholarship System. Dispel myths about scholarships and provide actionable steps for parents and students. Key Takeaways Scholarship System Approach Jocelyn developed a six-step process to simplify scholarship applications and avoid overwhelm. Focus on breaking the process into small, manageable steps rather than a vague “go get money” directive. Common Myths Debunked Too early or too late to apply: Start by junior year; it’s never too late—even college seniors can apply. Only perfect students or low-income families qualify: Many scholarships don’t require high GPA or athletic ability. All good scholarships are gone: Smaller, local scholarships ($500–$5,000) add up over time. It takes too much time: With a system and reusable materials, effort decreases each year. Avoiding Scholarship Scams Beware of “easy,” “enter to win,” or sweepstakes-style scholarships—they often sell personal data. Real scholarships require effort and personalization. Role of Parents Parents should help with planning and identifying legitimate scholarships but not complete applications for students. Committees can detect when parents write essays. AI in Scholarship Applications Jocelyn warns against copy-pasting AI-generated essays. Her platform introduced TESS, an AI assistant for ethical guidance and support. Financial Aid Basics Submit FAFSA even if you think you won’t qualify; some colleges and states require it. Combine all sources—government aid, institutional aid, and private scholarships. For Current College Students Check with financial aid offices, academic departments, and organizations for scholarships available after freshman year. Entrepreneurial Journey Jocelyn turned her passion into a business by starting with a book, building an email list, and launching webinars. She emphasizes persistence and ignoring naysayers. Notable Quotes “I had to accumulate my way to getting college paid for—the mere mortals’ way to going to college without tons of debt.” “Most families want scholarships, but they get stuck in the overwhelm.” “There’s no big red easy button—but with clear steps, it feels less daunting.” “We’re saying no to the broken system… It takes, on average, 21 years to pay off student loans.” “With great power comes great responsibility—AI can help, but only if used ethically.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of OnBase, Paul Gibson talks with Tejal Patel about why ABM often falls short in large enterprises and how companies can fix it. Tejal shares how her B2C background shaped her customer-centric approach and explains the key issues she sees inside big tech—misalignment, data quality gaps, siloed teams, and overreliance on ABM as a standalone strategy.She contrasts this with the agility of smaller organizations and outlines practical ways to improve targeting, use intent data, strengthen sales–marketing alignment, and unify brand and demand. This conversation offers clear, actionable advice for anyone trying to make ABM work at scale.Key TakeawaysABM is a tactic, not a standalone strategyTejal argues that ABM only works when paired with brand, awareness, nurture, and customer-centric messaging. Without broader demand creation, ABM becomes narrow and ineffective.Sales and marketing alignment remains the biggest barrierLarge enterprises struggle with global vs. regional disconnects, mismatched KPIs, and long internal approval cycles, slowing execution and creating misfire between strategy and action. Smaller companies excel because they have fewer layers, faster decision-making, and shared prioritization.Data quality is the silent killer of ABMMessy CRM data, fragmented systems, mismatched account naming, and inconsistent scoring models undermine targeting, personalization, and sales handoff. Clean data and agreed lead quality criteria must come first.Intent data only works when paired with first-party signalsGreat ABM prioritizes first-party data, then layers on external intent. Messaging should be mapped to where accounts are in their journey, not just industry segmentation. Audience clusters can be built based on behaviors, not just firmographics.Brand and demand must run in parallelBrand builds trust with the 90% who aren't yet buying; demand captures the 10% who are. Both motions must reinforce each other with consistent messaging across all touchpoints, internal and external.Simplification accelerates performanceTejal shares examples where hundreds of micro-campaigns were consolidated into fewer, audience-grouped programs, leading to clearer measurement, stronger engagement, and faster pipeline.AI will finally unlock true personalization at scale, but only with clean inputsAI can accelerate content, sales enablement, and buying-group messaging, but only when built on a foundation of strategy, quality data, and customer-centric principles. Otherwise, AI simply amplifies the noise.Quotes“Smaller companies succeed because they're aligned, agile, and closer to the spirit of ABM.”Tech recommendationsMiroChatGPTCanvaResource recommendationsThe Rundown AI newsletterLisa Adams (LinkedIn) – insights on AI and modern marketing org designHarvard Business ReviewShout-outsJuskiran Sond, Senior Global Digital ABM Marketing Manager at Riverbed TechnologySuyasha Kale, Senior Paid Social Advertising Manager - Global at TeamViewerBrett Rieser, EMEA & LATAM Growth Marketing, Senior Manager at Palo Alto NetworksAbout the GuestTejal Patel has 25+ years experience in marketing transformation, strategic planning, organisational design & change management.

This week, Sam and Jess talk about curating real life community. Whether it's getting together for an impromptu cup of coffee at home, or going on a walk together, getting together doesn't have to be fancy. It can just be simple. You never know what can happen when you put yourself out there and connect with people IRL. TakeawaysCurating a community can enhance personal connections.Fear of rejection often prevents us from reaching out.Smaller gatherings can be more fulfilling than large ones.Rejection is often about scheduling, not personal worth.Inviting one or two people can create deeper connections.Building a community takes intentionality and effort.Surprise can be a positive outcome of reaching out.Personal connections are vital for emotional well-being.Sign up for The Feel Good Daily Newsletter: https://www.bloomflourishfitness.com/feelgoodnewsletter
"The Big Myth That A Smaller Podiatry Clinic Means Less Risk" is a conversation for podiatry clinic owners who don't just want “more,” they want the right kind of more. In this episode, I unpack why so many of us start a clinic with no real end goal, drift into a business we never consciously designed, and then feel disappointed when we finally hit our targets. We'll talk about starting with the end in mind – defining the income, lifestyle, and role you actually want – and why reaching a destination rarely changes how you feel inside. I'll dive into enjoying the journey of building a business, working on your mindset as much as your metrics, and why staying small doesn't mean staying safe. You'll learn how to think about risk realistically, manage and mitigate it, and choose a clinic size that truly fits the life you want.
Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us!What if the fastest way to deeper impact isn't writing more, but freeing leaders to be with people? We pull back the curtain on our content process and share why we've built a central writing model that serves multiple campuses while giving local teams room to adapt. Our north star this summer is Ephesians and the identity of a “kingdom worker”—loved, rescued, changed, and sent. That sending isn't theoretical: we're equipping students to share their faith after the event and inviting youth pastors to collect stories that spark courage across their ministries.We also introduce our mission partner, Con Mis Manos in Matamoros, Mexico, a ministry serving deaf students who often face social isolation and limited access to sign language and education. Their story—told through a new film centered on founder Michelle Zúñiga—threads through the week. Students will see Spanish Sign Language woven into gatherings, even joining prayers led by deaf students. It's a living picture of global kingdom work and a powerful way to practice generosity that honors dignity and presence over programs.Why write your own curriculum instead of buying it? We make the case for a blended approach: a central writer crafts clear, biblically grounded outlines, campuses contextualize, and volunteers and students share the teaching load. Video teaches some moments, but we always land live. We also set firm guardrails for AI—useful for brainstorming and visuals, off-limits for theology and spiritual direction. Smaller churches can run the same play by equipping a small content team, elevating student communicators, and keeping every talk simple enough to reproduce. When identity begins in Christ and every message points back to Jesus, students don't just learn; they move.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help more leaders find these conversations. Then tell us: how are you sending your students this week?
“Can a serial killer's motive really come down to… a micro penis?” That's the jaw-dropping question Kevin “KT” Turner throws at Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, and Krystina Ray in this darkly fascinating—and wildly funny—episode of The Ben and Skin Show.KT takes us deep into the twisted story of Joseph D'Angelo, the Golden State Killer, whose decades-long reign of terror included 10 murders and over 50 assaults before DNA technology finally brought him down. But the shocking twist? A new book claims his crimes may have been fueled by what KT calls “tiny peen energy.” The crew dives into bizarre details like police photographers struggling to capture evidence (“There's nothing there!”) and measurements that will leave you speechless: “Smaller than the circumference of a dime, and the length of a pinky tip.”

They also discuss Casey's favorite pre-workout snacks, essential home workout equipment, and mindset shifts for consistency and lasting results. Here's what you'll learn: - Does your metabolism really slow down after 40? - The #1 exercise shift women need to make in midlife to see results - Simple ways to stay motivated with home workouts when life gets hectic - How to make short, efficient workouts deliver big results - Why home workouts can be enough and how to make them more effective - How to track progress without obsessing over the scale. - The mindset shift that helps women stay consistent with their workouts - The most common midlife fitness belief Casey wishes every woman would let go of - Casey's favorite pre-workout snack and home workout equipment - The simple thing every woman over 40 should start doing for her health today Ab wheel: https://rstyle.me/+NgdTgpNK5g5YPfIOdQvM8A Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N' Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

She has over 20 years of experience in the field of health & nutrition. She earned a Bachelor's Degree in Dietetics from Central Michigan University in 2002- the same University her oldest son attends currently! In 2010, she earned a Master's Degree in Nutrition from CMU as well. She has worked in a variety of settings including public health and in the outpatient clinical setting. Her primary interest has always been in weight management, and while she was able to do some of this in the clinical setting, she had a better idea. She knew her clients could see better success with weight loss if they had more support and encouragement than what their insurance covered, so she built a program to better meet these needs. In January 2019 she started her business, Inspire Health & Wellness. She didn't have a clue about running a business, but she had a passion, and she knew she could help people. She created a Facebook page and a flyer, and she got to work! Soon after she started her business it was evident to her that nutrition & fitness go hand and hand, and while she had always been active, She didn't have the knowledge or training to support others with their fitness. She has since become a Certified Personal Trainer, and she so enjoys the fitness aspect of her work.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Zach Weiss and Liam O'Donnell to the podcast to discuss a topic we've been thinking about privately for a while and have heard grumblings about elsewhere. Today we're asking a big question: is the watch industry out of ideas? We've all felt it in one way or another. There's a sense among certain enthusiasts that brands are repeating themselves, churning out conservative products that are proven sellers at the expense of innovating. But is that an insidery point of view? Maybe “innovation” isn't exactly what this centuries old industry is really about? We chat about how some brands play it safe, constantly trying to recapture the past (and why that's appealing to a lot of us) and how others are a little more daring, and how that impacts the entire industry.

Have you thought about investing into space? Mark Boggett, CEO of Seraphim, shares the investment opportunities in the rapidly expanding space industry. He explains how innovations led by SpaceX dramatically lowered launch costs and increased access to space, catalyzing growth in satellite constellations and data-driven applications for defense, climate, and communications. He emphasizes that near-term investment potential lies in defense and climate-related uses of satellite data, rather than speculative ventures like space travel or asteroid mining. He also highlights the growing importance of sustainability, debris management, and more. We discuss... Mark Boggett is a career technology investor who founded Seraphim Space, the world's first space-focused investment fund. Seraphim Space operates a global accelerator, a private venture fund, and a publicly listed growth fund on the London Stock Exchange. Boggett shifted focus to space investing after recognizing how technologies like AI, telecommunications, and 3D printing were transforming the sector. SpaceX revolutionized space access by reducing launch costs from $86,000 to $1,000 per kilogram and dramatically increasing launch frequency. Smaller, cheaper satellites now enable massive constellations that provide real-time Earth observation and global connectivity. Investment opportunities in space fall into three categories: upstream (launch and satellites), downstream (data and applications), and in-space (future lunar and interplanetary activities). The most investable areas today are defense and climate-related satellite data applications rather than speculative space travel or mining. The falling cost of launch is paving the way for large-scale space infrastructure, including future data centers powered by solar energy. Space debris is an emerging challenge, driving new industries focused on monitoring, avoiding, and removing defunct satellites. Regulatory changes now require satellite operators to deorbit defunct satellites within five years, accelerating growth in orbital cleanup services. Defense is a major driver of demand for satellite technology in intelligence, communications, navigation, and asset protection. The "in-space" category includes lunar landers, space stations, and eventual habitation or mining ventures, though these remain long-term prospects. NASA's new funding model relies on private companies like Axiom Space and Voyager to build commercial space stations. Boggett concludes that while long-term prospects like lunar mining are exciting, the current trillion-dollar opportunity lies in satellites, data, and communication serving Earth-based customers.
