The Ag Net News Hour's Lorre Boyer and Nick Papagni, “The AgMeter” started out the show by discussing the impact of tariffs on the beef industry, focusing on the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's (NCBA) perspective. Kent Bacus highlighted issues with Australia, Brazil, and China. Australia's protectionist barriers create a $29 billion imbalance. Brazil's poor animal health record and restricted exports to the U.S. were also discussed. China's non-tariff barriers, including delisting U.S. processing plants, were noted. The segment emphasized the need for fair trade and the importance of supporting American cattle and beef producers. The discussion underscored historical unfair trade practices and the need for accountability from international partners. The discussion in this segment on the Ag Net News Hour focused on trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, with a potential softening of Trump's stance and a push for de-escalation. Key figures, including CEOs from major retailers, are urging a resolution to avoid product shortages. Kent Bacus from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association highlighted the Trump administration's proactive approach to trade issues, contrasting it with the inaction of previous administrations. Additionally, the closure of the Holly Sugar Plant in Imperial Valley, California, was discussed, impacting 400-1000 jobs and the local economy, due to high production costs and water issues. In the featured Almond Board of California segment, they have partnered with Smoothie King to promote almonds for exercise recovery, leveraging food service to influence consumer habits. Smoothie King, with over 1,300 U.S. outlets, aims to highlight almonds' health benefits in smoothies.

In April's Marketing Bulletin, Laura Morin of the Almond Board of California shares the story behind the Board's first major food service collaboration—a spring promotion with Smoothie King, the world's largest smoothie chain. Currently running around the country from March through May, the partnership positions almonds as a go-to ingredient, promoting exercise recovery and offering customers the option to add almonds to any smoothie. Morin explains that food service trends play a big role in how consumers adopt new foods at home, and ABC saw this as a timely opportunity to highlight current almond messaging. “Smoothie King was an amazing partner to help tell our exercise recovery story,” Morin says. “They already have a health and wellness focus, and when we brought them our nutrition research, they saw real potential in the recovery space.” The collaboration is not only aimed at boosting visibility and volume, but also at gathering insights on consumer behavior to inform future promotions.

In the 18th century, Claude Pinoche, a royalist French soldier, is discovered to be a vampire and survives an attempt to kill him. Witnessing the French Revolution and the execution of Marie Antoinette, he fakes his death and flees abroad, participating in the suppression of revolutionary upheavals over the next centuries. Eventually he ends up in Chile in 1935 and joins the Chilean Army under the name Augusto Pinochet. Rising to become a general, he overthrows the socialist government of Salvador Allende in 1973 and becomes the country's dictator, while demanding that he be addressed as "The Count" by his family. When authorities begin investigating his ill-gotten wealth and human rights abuses after he leaves office, he fakes his death again and retires to a remote farm. After 250 years of existence he gradually loses his will to live, worrying his wife Lucia, and his long-time butler, Fyodor, a white Russian whom Pinochet bit and turned into a vampire.—yusufpiskin The TruVue Podcast reviews why the Netflix movie El Conde is a must-watch!

We're excited to introduce you to Tiana James, most recently the Director of PR & Partnerships at Victoria's Secret PINK (formerly Keurig Dr Pepper & JCPenny) and Avery Bash, a PR and Social Consultant (formerly Smoothie King & Keurig Dr Pepper). Tiana and Avery recently banded together to create Amplifyed, a course that encompasses the real-world experience and knowledge of working in the PR and influencer spaces, designed for recent graduates and small business owners. In this episode, Tiana and Avery chat through the impact of a strong PR and partnerships strategy and their best advice for young professionals! About Tiana James: A seasoned professional in PR strategy, Influencer and Celebrity partnership marketing, Tiana has been amplifying brands for almost 10 years. From retail and fashion to the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries, her career has been dedicated to making brands culturally relevant. Her excitement for the industry and positive approach to relationships fuels her drive to propel brands forward and empower individuals to take charge of their careers. About Avery Bash: An experienced public relations specialist with a background in digital marketing and startups, Avery has extensive PR and partnerships experience with clients in a variety of industries ranging from tech startups to global lifestyle and wellness brands. With a passion for storytelling and consumer connections, she enjoys challenging the status quo and building creative and effective solutions for brands. About Amplifyed, in Tiana and Avery's own words: Together, we founded Amplifyed because we saw a knowledge gap in the marketing world. So many smart and successful marketers are still uneducated about the ins and outs of public relations and how to work with influencers. There's a lot of gatekeeping! Simultaneously, traditional marketing or communications classes don't necessarily cover the real-world knowledge necessary to start a career in PR or Social Media/Influencer work. So, our course is really geared towards undergraduate students and small business owners - or really anyone who wants to learn the basics about PR and Influencer Relations!

Welcome to "The Impulsive Thinker," the podcast dedicated to empowering ADHD entrepreneurs in their journey toward personal and professional growth.  In this insightful episode, we're joined by Josh Martin, a former NFL linebacker turned successful entrepreneur.   Josh Martin shares his journey transitioning from professional football to entrepreneurship.  After 7 seasons in the NFL, injuries ended Martin's career in 2019.  During his playing days, he took business courses to prepare for life after football.  Upon retiring, Martin prioritized his mental health and relationships before exploring new opportunities.  A friend presented the chance to open Smoothie King franchises in fitness-focused Colorado.  This aligned with Martin's health values, so he relocated and brought in his sister to launch their first location after a year of preparation.   Now open for 6 months, the store is exceeding expectations through aggressive community engagement tactics Martin likens to "recovering kicks" in football.  He credits his undrafted status for instilling a mentality of constantly proving his worth and betting on himself, which helps as an entrepreneur.  While difficult, Martin tried to take charge of the transition process and use it as a catalyst for growth.  He recommends others do the same to strengthen themselves during life's transitions. ·       Using transition as a tool.  You're not letting it just happen to you.  You're using it as a catalyst for transformation. ·       You might get knocked down.  But that transition is a chance for you to stand back up again.  And when you're in that act of standing up one more time, you're that much stronger. ·       Preparing your mind theoretically to do X, Y, and Z, and actually being kind of thrust out into the world and forced to do something are two different things.   In summary, Josh Martin emphasizes using transitions as opportunities for growth and taking action, betting on yourself, and the importance of mental preparation and community.  His quotes highlight the challenges and mindset involved in transitions both in sports and business.  You can check out Josh's podcast here.   Subscribe to "The Impulsive Thinker" for more insights into harnessing ADHD for entrepreneurial excellence .

And today we sit with someone who's found a way to separate himself in the crowded space of comedy as one of the younger, more successful entertainers of this generation. Desi Banks joins The Pivot to share his journey with Ryan, Fred and Channing about his rise to fame, staying true to his purpose, and how stand-up comedy changed his life forever. Growing up and being raised by his grandma in the Eastside of Atlanta, everyone around Desi knew his calling was comedy despite his passion and a dream of playing professional football but when football didn't work out as planned, the setback led him to find his true purpose. Desi shares a candid moment and calls his mother during our conversation for her to confirm the story he's telling about while she was pregnant with him, he would kick nonstop when he heard the Arsenio Hall show on tv and would happen often like clockwork. Desi's grandmother always said the white noise most kids listen to was not for him but if she ever needed to settle him her goto would be putting on the Martin Lawrence show to soothe him.  Starting his career off by becoming well-known for his comical skits on social media, Desi recalls the time where his first video went viral in 2012 on Vine and since then, he has amassed millions of followers across all social media platforms and successfully turned his life experiences into a million-dollar business. Although everyone around Desi saw the gift he had of comedy, he had other things in mind for what he wanted his future to look like. With aspirations of becoming an NFL player, Desi played the WR position at Morehead State and Georgia State. Post-graduation all Desi had was a job at Smoothie King, his phone, and a crisp lining haircut. His girlfriend at the time, didn't believe in his comedic calling and kicked him out which turned out to be his pivotal moment as he moved in with his grandmother again and found a gun wrapper that captivated him by the saying which in turn became his mantra and later a lifetime of making others laugh while touring the world.  Opening up about his relationship with God and how he's kept purpose as the guide of his journey, Desi talks about believing he was born to spread light to others and he's continuing to put in the work to elevate as a comedian.

Josh Martin played seven seasons in the NFL and got an Ivy League education at Columbia University. He's returned to Denver to open a Smoothie King franchise in the Central Park neighborhood.

Summary This episode focuses on the business takeaways from Alison and Phillip's Smoothie King study.  A big takeaway from the study is to make sure you have a clear understanding of your “why” and then make the upfront investment necessary to be successful. It is also important to pay attention to the numbers and make sure you have a good professional to help you stay on top of those numbers to assist with your business growth. Additionally, look for trends that you can invest in and make sure to pick a business that you are passionate about. Pooling resources with friends and family is also an option, but it is important to make sure that everyone is equally as motivated and passionate about the business. Emotional clarity is important when taking on a business partner, whether that partner is a friend or family member. Having a CPA, as well as a good attorney to draw up a buy-sell agreement to ensure that everyone is on the same page. If both parties are not equally passionate about the business venture then they may not be a good fit as investment partners. Chapters   0:01:13: Conversation Summary: Smoothie King and the Benefits of Healthy Living 0:04:11: Discussion on Investing in a Smoothie King Franchise 0:09:40: Investing with Friends and Family: Tips for Success   Quotes "Know your numbers. And if you don't know your numbers, you're never going to know if you're going to be successful or if you're going in the right direction. And I do think that Smoothie came with their innovation of marketing approaches, from their romance novel to their smoothie bowls and just their drinks in general, that customers love. And again, relentless focus on driving profitability through implementing technology and innovative products and how to keep costs down or even just bringing the drive through model only."   "Yeah, I just love investing in trends. Right. I feel like a lot of times if you're running a business or you're investing, there's like an investment saying that I'm going to say 90%, I don't know the actual number, but some big percentage of your return comes from asset class if you look at the long term returns. And a lot of times we tend to think it's individual intellect, right, that can overcome anything. But I'm like, well, for example, last year it didn't matter how great of a CEO you were. Last year you lost money, whether it was bonds, whether it was stocks, because the economic tailwinds for that year was tailored, or even over the last decade, even some of the best CEOs at banks."   Powered by ReiffMartin CPA and Stone Hill Wealth Management https://www.reiffmartincpa.com/ https://stonehillwealthmanagement.com/   Join the Wealth Building Made Simple Newsletter: https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us   Social Media Handles  Follow Philip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip) Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter (https://wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/subscribe/) Phillip Washington, Jr. is a registered investment adviser.  Information presented is for educational purposes only and does not intend to make an offer or solicitation for the sale or purchase of any specific securities, investments, or investment strategies.  Investments involve risk and, unless otherwise stated, are not guaranteed.  Be sure to first consult with a qualified financial adviser and/or tax professional before implementing any strategy discussed herein.

Summary Smoothie King is a successful franchise model that has been in business for over 40 years. The company has had two CEOs, with Wan Kim taking over in 2012 and driving the company's success. Kim's background in process efficiency and profitability has helped him to grow the franchise and make it the number one franchise in the US for ten years running. Kim has surrounded himself with a strong management team, including Camille Hymes, who will become the new chief operating officer in June 2023. Hymes has experience in food service and franchise models from her time at Starbucks and Jack in the Box. Smoothie King's goal is to expand its presence internationally and improve the customer experience. The company is also looking to lower the barriers to entry for potential franchisees, making it easier for them to invest in the brand. Smoothie King may be working to become a hangout spot, similar to Starbucks, where customers can enjoy a healthy drink and spend time with friends. The company is also allegedly implementing automated drive-through models, which will make it more accessible to a wider range of people. Smoothie King's success is also due to its focus on innovation. The company is always looking for ways to improve its products and services, such as introducing new flavors and ingredients. This keeps customers interested and engaged, and helps to differentiate the brand from its competitors. Overall, Smoothie King's success is driven by a strong management team led by Wan Kim, who focuses on sales growth, franchisee growth, and profitability. By expanding internationally, improving the customer experience, and implementing drive-through models, Smoothie King can attract more customers and build brand loyalty. As the trend towards healthy options and socializing continues to grow, Smoothie King is well-positioned to capitalize on these trends and continue to be a successful franchise model for years to come.   Chapters   | **Timestamp** | **Summary** | | ------------- | ----------- | | 0:00:01 | Introduction to the podcast and sponsor | | 0:00:48 | Introduction to the episode | | 0:01:34 | Smoothie King's CEOs | | 0:03:25 | Wan Kim's success and management team | | 0:04:29 | New COO Camille Hymes and her background | | 0:05:29 | Smoothie King's goal to make it easier to become a franchisee | | 0:06:41 | The investment required to become a franchisee | | 0:07:11 | Smoothie King's drive-through models | | 0:08:25 | The potential for automation in franchises | Powered by ReiffMartin CPA and Stone Hill Wealth Management https://www.reiffmartincpa.com/ https://stonehillwealthmanagement.com/   Join the Wealth Building Made Simple Newsletter: https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us   Social Media Handles  Follow Philip Washington, Jr. on Instagram (@askphillip) Subscribe to Wealth Building Made Simple newsletter (https://wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/subscribe/) Phillip Washington, Jr. is a registered investment adviser.  Information presented is for educational purposes only and does not intend to make an offer or solicitation for the sale or purchase of any specific securities, investments, or investment strategies.  Investments involve risk and, unless otherwise stated, are not guaranteed.  Be sure to first consult with a qualified financial adviser and/or tax professional before implementing any strategy discussed herein.
