Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode It's time to dig into real-world strategies for managing debt and strengthening the financial foundation of your auto repair business. Shiju Thomas,Hotchkiss Auto RepairDustin Brown,Brown Auto ExpertsHunt Demarest, CPA,Paar Melis and Associates The first big takeaway: Cash is king.Our panel emphasizes the power of maintaining healthy cash reserves—ideally three to six months of operating expenses—to safeguard your shop against unexpected disruptions. If the pandemic taught us anything, it's that cash on hand can be the difference between surviving and scrambling. Another core theme is recognizing the difference between good debt and “bad debt.” Good debt includes real estate and other collateral-backed loans that appreciate, add stability, and support long-term growth. Bad debt includes high-interest burdens like merchant cash advances or short-term credit card loans—products that drain cash flow fast and offer zero assets in return. The panel also addresses a common pain point: “Why doesn't my bank balance match my profit?”The answer lies in understanding the cash flow statement—specifically, that principal payments don't appear on the P&L, even though they hit your bank account hard. Their guidance: pay off high-interest debt first, but don't erase debt so aggressively that you end up “debt-free but cash-poor.” Cash matters just as much as debt reduction. Bottom line: Be intentional with your money. Understand your numbers. And approach debt reduction as a strategy, not a sprint.

Lured Up Podcast 372: Spending With Reckless Abandon Live Streamed on - 11/18/25 Publish Date - 11/21/25 What an incredible month of gameplay we are getting. Since the level cap increase, the game and community have felt alive and well, with excitement, motivation, and dedication flowing all around us. We recap our last week of gameplay through Into The Wild, the Silver Bottlecap, and finally, with Wild Area:Global. Adam was able to make the most of his limited gameplay and Raided from the toilet, while Ken was able to get 16 hours of core gameplay in Red Bank and Philly. The Community Celebration Event in Philly was incredible. It somehow captured the magic of a much larger IRL event like GO Fest, in a City Safari like setting. Niantic may really be on to something here, as these events capture the magic of a large event, while being powered by local communities, which sets a unique tone for the gameplay. Nearly 1,500 Trainers checked in on Campfire and Raid Trains packed with a few hundred Trainers were marching through the city for the entirety of the event. A group of creators was able to meetup at the event to bring their individual styles of gameplay and content to the community. We take a look at each of the featured creators, and highly recommend you check them out and give them a follow. There is some real magic to be had when you combine core gameplay, and creators that like to get their hands dirty on the grind. We have a few remaining events in November, with High Voltage keeping us busy until this weekend's DMAX Eevee Max Battle Weekend. With Eevee only being Tier 2, most Trainers will have no problem taking it down. We hope you saved some Max Particles from Wild Area, because making sure you can evolve into the full line, you are going to need a fair amount of DMAX Eevee in your inventory. Don't forget to take advantage of Trade Day on Sunday to help you fill in your missing Eeveelutions.

Don and Tom open with the investor mistakes Christine Benz highlighted in Morningstar: portfolio sprawl, concentration in the same large-cap tech names, clinging to ancient active funds, ignoring reallocations, and failing at both asset allocation and asset location. The show then shifts into calls—first about fears of an “AI crash,” then a heartbreaking case of an 80-year-old widow stuck in an expensive, incoherent Schwab-built portfolio, which Don dismantles live. Later, Roth conversion strategy, smishing scams, and a closing riff on Bitcoin's extreme volatility versus gold. A packed episode on how bad habits, high fees, and fear derail investors—and how a simple, globally diversified plan avoids most of it. 0:04 Intro and Christine Benz's list of common portfolio mistakes 0:56 Portfolio sprawl and “hodgepodge-itis” 1:32 Overloaded baskets of large-cap tech stocks 2:52 The 31-year-old underperforming fund problem 3:54 Active vs. passive: the shift the industry still hasn't admitted 4:03 Asset allocation errors driven by ignoring the plan 4:51 Why rebalancing matters (and why people never do it) 5:40 Asset location mistakes and why taxes demand a smarter structure 6:15 Why these errors are easy to fix with a simple plan 7:58 Don solo; open phones 8:23 Caller: Fear of an “AI crash” and whether it can tank the market 11:16 Building a portfolio that can withstand any crash 13:01 International ballast and why planning matters more than predictions 14:27 Don solo again; open phones 15:17 Smishing scams and the rise of SMS-based fraud 16:13 How cheap scam-software makes fraud explode 17:08 Caller: 80-year-old widow with an awful Schwab portfolio 18:27 Don investigates the tickers—high fees, obscure funds, bad structure 19:57 Schwab dropped her; Don: “This advisor should be fired” 21:07 Why the portfolio lost money and what those numbers really mean 22:26 Active funds, high turnover, and tax drag 24:01 Don's verdict: unload the mess and move to simple, low-cost indexing 25:01 Why a target-date fund may be the cleanest fix 26:33 Take the risk quiz; why advisors should be boring 27:00 Don vents about industry incompetence and fee-only failures 28:23 Why advisors chase “exciting” instead of sound 30:02 Caller: Roth conversion when 70% of assets are in traditional IRAs 31:25 Why conversion benefits are minor but sometimes worthwhile 32:33 Strategy: convert up to top of the 24% bracket 33:19 Wrap-up and call for last questions 34:56 Gold vs. Bitcoin: which is actually stable? 36:09 Why Bitcoin's volatility makes it a terrible “currency” Learn more about your ad choices.

In Japan nahmen sich immer mehr Menschen das Leben. Das schockierte die Öffentlichkeit. Die Zivilgesellschaft rüttelte die politischen Verantwortlichen auf, der Kampf gegen die «stille Epidemie» wurde zur nationalen Priorität. Zwanzig Jahre später zeigt sich: der Kampf war erfolgreich. Jedes Jahr 14 000 Suizide weniger. Anders gesagt: 14 000 verzweifelte Menschen in Japan, die wieder Hoffnung schöpfen – so die statistischen Zahlen im Zwanzigjahresvergleich. Die kollektive Anstrengung hat sich gelohnt. Wie es dazu kam, lässt sich in Akita im Norden von Japan gut nachvollziehen, einer Region mit hoher Arbeitslosigkeit, in der besonders viele Menschen ihr Leben beendeten. Hisao Sato ist einer der Pioniere der landesweiten Präventionskampagne. Trauer um den Verlust eines engen Freundes schlug bei ihm in Zorn übers kollektive Wegschauen um. Er schuf um die Jahrtausendwende in Akita eine Anlaufstelle und begann, Verzweifelten Beratungen anzubieten. Nach und nach liessen sich die japanischen Behörden überzeugen, dass landesweit gehandelt werden müsse - und könne. Ein nationales Präventionsgesetz schuf die Grundlagen. Parallel dazu veränderte sich die Wahrnehmung: «Suizid war ein völliges Tabu. Doch die Menschen begannen, die Selbsttötungen nicht nur als Privatsache zu betrachten, sondern als gesellschaftliches Problem», sagt Sato in der Reportage aus Japan über den Erfolg der Präventionskampagne - und düstere Aspekte, die dennoch bleiben. Wer suizidale Gedanken hat, findet bei folgenden Anlaufstellen Soforthilfe: Pro Juventute für Kinder und Jugendliche, Telefon und SMS 147; Dargebotene Hand/Sorgentelefon für Erwachsene, Telefon und SMS 143.

On this week's episode, Joe Fairless interviews Jeffrey Brogger. Jeffrey shares practical ways to revive “dead” contacts using AI voice agents that hold natural two-way conversations and surface real buying signals. He explains where these tools outperform blast emails and basic SMS, why latency and compliance matter, and how he builds lower-cost, highly customizable stacks with VAPI, Twilio and modern LLM voices. The discussion closes with an omnichannel playbook that uses ads, email, website activity and AI automations to turn quiet databases into qualified call-backs.

Most agents think marketing has gotten harder, that technology, AI, and algorithms have made everything too complicated. But the truth is, it's never been easier to be a marketer and to actually get results. You can create video content without showing your face. You can automate your emails, SMS, and social posts in minutes. You can turn one idea into ten pieces of content that generate leads while you sleep. Yet most agents still struggle to grow; not because the tools are hard, but because they're doing what everyone else is doing… or worse, doing the bare minimum. In today's market, average doesn't convert. The agents winning right now aren't the ones spending the most money; they're the ones showing up consistently, leveraging automation, and using AI to amplify their expertise instead of hiding behind excuses. How can you turn one real estate deal into multiple streams of income? How do agents embrace tech?  That's what I'm unpacking on Constant Contact's Be a Marketer podcast, where I was featured as a guest.  Along with co-hosts Dave Charest, Stephanie Alonso, I break down why most agents misunderstand marketing, how to simplify your systems, and what it takes to build a business that compounds while you're off the clock.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The no excuse zone mindset Success doesn't come from talent or timing; it comes from eliminating excuses. How do you rewire your habits to operate like an entrepreneur, not an employee? Consistency over charisma The most profitable agents aren't the flashiest; they're the most consistent. What boring, daily habits separate six-figure producers from struggling agents? Video is the ultimate multiplier Video isn't optional; it's the only form of content that can be repurposed into text, audio, and leads. How can you use AI and automation to make video your most scalable marketing tool? Leads, loyalty, and longevity New agents often wait for brokers to hand them leads. How can CRMs, landing pages, and follow-ups turn your list into a self-sustaining income engine?   Guest Bios Stephanie Alonso is a speaker and the Senior Director of Vertical Innovation at Constant Contact. She is a dynamic, results-driven sales and strategy leader with a relentless passion for empowering individuals and teams to achieve their highest potential.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Recorded Live at ASTA 2025, keynote speaker Jim Knight dives into leadership and organizational culture through his signature “edutainment” style—a high-energy blend of music, education, and hospitality. Knight is a professional speaker, writer, and former Head of Training and Development for over two decades at Hard Rock International, which he calls one of the "greatest cultures in the history of culture." Jim stresses that the most important responsibility of any leader is hiring the right person. Too often, leaders get distracted by product, pricing, or aesthetics, while the true differentiator is the human element. He recommends evaluating candidates through the Three C's: Competence – Can they do the job?Character – Are they kind, respectful, and easy to work with?Culture Fit – Do their values align with the organization? Leaders who fail to make employees feel seen, heard, and appreciated, he warns, will continue to struggle with turnover. Jim Knight, a renowned keynote speaker, author, and training and development expert, teaches organizations of all sizes how to attain their own “rock star” status.  https://www.knightspeaker.com/ https://astausa.org/pages/asta-expo Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Learn more about NAPA Auto Care and the benefits of being part of the NAPA family by visiting https://www.napaonline.com/en/auto-care NAPA TRACS will move your shop into the SMS fast lane with onsite training and six days a week of support and local representation.

In this episode, Joe digs into what he believes will become the final competitive advantage for creators in the years ahead. As AI accelerates and platforms gain the ability to clone creator voices, styles, and content patterns, many of the moats creators once relied on are disappearing. Technology can now replicate content quality. Algorithms can generate reach. Even personal style and voice can be synthesized. The last remaining moat is being known personally by real people. Joe explains why the strongest creators of the next decade will not be the ones with the biggest follower counts, but the ones with the deepest human relationships. He walks through the mindset shift creators must make as algorithmic reach becomes less reliable and as synthetic content becomes indistinguishable from human work. Direct touchpoints such as email, SMS, private communities, and membership spaces become essential because they form the relationship infrastructure that cannot be automated away. Joe also talks about why creators need to take those relationships offline. Real trust happens in rooms, not feeds. A handshake, a conversation, a shared meal, or a small gathering builds connection at a level AI cannot mimic. He highlights real examples of creators who already excel at this, including Andy Crestodina, who brings people together at every event he attends, and Brian Piper, who sets up intentional meetups and one to one conversations long before he arrives onsite. This episode is a call to action for creators who believe the window is closing. If everything online can be copied, then the only thing that cannot be replicated is your humanity. The real opportunity right now is to build a moat of human connection that endures long after algorithms shift and synthetic content takes over. What You'll Learn: Why AI will make most online content instantly replicable How platforms could create synthetic versions of top creators Why direct touchpoints matter more than followers How offline interactions become a long term moat Examples of creators who already practice this well Why being known will outlast any technological disruption Mentioned in This Episode: Andy Crestodina Brian Piper The role of events, meetups, and small gatherings in creator strategy If you want more insights every Friday morning, subscribe to Joe Pulizzi's Tilt newsletter at https://www.thetilt.com/.

In this episode of Technology Reseller News, Doug Green interviews Lyle Pratt, Founder & CEO of Vida.io, following the company's announcement of a $4 million Series A funding round—a major milestone marking rapid growth, platform maturity, and expanding traction across MSPs, SaaS vendors, and business software providers. Pratt explains that Vida.io is an AI Agent Operating System for business, designed to help companies deploy, manage, monitor, and scale AI agents that perform real work across voice, SMS, email, and web chat. While many products offer a chatbot or voice agent, Vida.io delivers the full operational backbone required for real-world use: observability, SOC 2/HIPAA compliance, billing-as-a-service, UI components, and detailed interaction scoring. Since the last podcast, Vida.io has grown dramatically, surpassing 100 million AI agent interactions and onboarding a rapidly expanding network of partners. Initially focused on MSPs, the platform is now widely adopted by SaaS companies that embed AI agent capabilities directly into their vertical applications—roofing, moving, and other SMB-focused sectors—bringing instant scale to Vida.io's distribution. A key breakthrough discussed in the interview is Vida.io's ability to deliver low-latency, high-intelligence voice agents that reliably meet real-world customer experience expectations. “If latency is off even slightly, users get frustrated. We had to solve that,” Pratt notes. The result: AI agents that in many cases outperform humans, including one customer reporting 40% more meetings booked compared to human-based calling teams. Vida.io's partner program remains the company's primary growth engine. MSPs are now using AI agents to capture revenue from call flows they previously handed off to outsourced call centers—often redirecting hundreds of thousands of monthly minutes back into their own billing. The platform also supports direct SIP registration, enabling AI agents to function as standard PBX extensions across NetSapiens, Broadsoft, Metaswitch, and other systems widely deployed by MSPs. Pratt emphasizes that the AI revolution is fundamentally redefining UCaaS and business communications: “When the price of intelligence approaches zero, the entire enterprise software ecosystem transforms.” Even if LLM progress froze today, he argues, the impact on communications and business automation would still be historic. As the industry approaches 2026, Pratt sees a major new revenue frontier for MSPs—one that doesn't require deep AI expertise but does require timely action. Vida.io provides the tools to make AI agent deployment fast, repeatable, and profitable. To learn more or join the partner program, visit https://vida.io/.

Meet Scott Desgrosseilliers, CEO of Wicked Reports, a platform helping growth teams finally trust their attribution. In this episode, Scott explains why ad platforms over-credit conversions and how first-party data reveals the real customer journey across seven to 100 touchpoints. He shares the "Five Forces" measurement strategy and the one-word campaign verdicts—scale, chill, or kill—that drive budget clarity. You'll learn why DTC brands (from $3M to $60M+) win by dialing in top-of-funnel insights, capturing emails and SMS early, and tying repurchases back to the original awareness ads. Scott also covers demo-to-purchase paths, website roles, and leadership lessons for keeping teams focused on outcomes.   

Donnez-moi votre feedback par SMS (mobile uniquement)!Cet épisode explore pourquoi les bonus ne motivent pas toujours, et parfois génèrent des comportements inattendus.

Wil and Nicholas open by talking about “flowing like water” and how that mindset shows up in hospitality: staying adaptable, humble, and open. Nicholas traces his path from teaching skiing to unexpectedly building a career in enterprise software and QA with major pharma and tech companies, then starting a nonprofit, and finally helping open Feast Bistro in Bozeman. He describes the harsh reality of the first two years at Feast: the gap between fantasy and the P&L, mispriced menus, long hours, financial strain, and the grit required to survive COVID. What kept them afloat was humility, constant feedback from guests, and a deep belief that hospitality is about service, not ego.Those struggles led him to create Check This Out, a simple SMS-driven retention and word-of-mouth platform built first for Feast. Traditional marketing (direct mail, email, social) felt like guesswork because he couldn't track what actually drove revenue or distinguish new from returning guests. By counting every mailer and transcribing every comment card, he discovered that over 80% of guests came because someone they knew recommended Feast. That insight became the backbone of Check This Out: use SMS to bring guests back more often and amplify referrals with trackable, time-bound offers that clearly show who is driving traffic and sales. Throughout the episode, Nicholas emphasizes the same core ideas he's lived by: hospitality as service, learning over knowing, capital-efficient building, and using simple tools that actually work.10 Key Takeaways Hospitality is a gateway industry.Nicholas entered it through ski instruction and serving tables, learning empathy and customer focus, skills that shaped everything he's done since. Boredom fuels creativity.Long, quiet Vermont summers sparked the imagination that later helped him pivot careers and eventually become an entrepreneur. An unlikely path to restaurateur.Years in software QA taught him how to build systems that solve real user problems, experience that later informed Feast and Check This Out. Most pro formas are fantasy.Reality hits fast in restaurants: labor, food cost, pricing, and traffic rarely match projections, and the P&L forces honesty. Underpricing is a common early mistake.Feast discovered they were charging too little and had to adjust based on real customer behavior and feedback. Equity builds commitment.Giving chefs, GMs, and key partners skin in the game helped Feast survive the hardest stretches and come out stronger. Listening is everything.Nicholas embraces Kaizen and Deming's cycle: feedback from guests and staff only matters if you act on it without ego. Word-of-mouth is the true growth engine.His analysis showed 80%+ of guests came through personal recommendations, far more than any ad channel. SMS outperforms email and social.Near-100% open rates and fast response times mean campaigns drive real, trackable revenue, something other channels can't match. Check This Out delivers “butts in seats.”Restaurants use it to send compelling texts and let guests forward offers to friends, giving operators clear attribution and measurable ROI instead of guesswork.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I spent some quality time digging into the origins of a word in common use. In doing so, I contacted the Postal Museum in the United Kingdom and received a lovely reply that included a photo of a document in their archive. The document, a Post Office Circular from Friday, December 30, 1904, number 1641, introduces a new service offered by the Post Office. Let me read to you what it says, and I quote: "Telegrams to and from Ships by Wireless Telegraphy. "(To be noted at Telegraph Offices only.) "With the present Circular is enclosed a list showing the wireless telegraph stations in the United Kingdom worked on the Marconi Company's system, and the hours up to which telegrams can be received at those stations for transmission by wireless telegraphy to certain ships fitted with Marconi apparatus. By another notice in this Circular, Postmasters and others concerned are requested to enter the names of the stations in the Code Book with the necessary particulars. Ships will be issued for insertion in the Post Office Guide. "On and from the 1st January, 1905, Telegrams may be accepted from the public on the following conditions:- "Subject to the Inland Regulations with regard to counting, the charge, which must be prepaid in the usual way by means of stamps, will be at the rate of 6 1/2d. [six-and-a-half pence] a word, with a minimum of 6s. 6d. [six-and-a-half shillings] per telegram. "The name of the wireless station will in each case pass as one word in the address. "The word 'Radio,' which is not charged for, should be telegraphed in the Service Instructions." When I read that, it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The introduction of a Wireless Telegram service, under the service heading of "Radio", with a photo of the actual document that introduced it into the world. I also learned that there's a dozen pennies in a shilling and over the years before decimalisation in 1971, the composition of coins changed, which made converting this into today's money interesting. As an aside, the Royal Society has a wonderful article: "The science of money: Isaac Newton's mastering of the Mint" Back to radio, this is 1904 bleeding edge technology and it's priced accordingly. The starting price for a radio telegram on new years day 1905: six bob and six; or three florin and sixpence; or a crown, a bob and a tanner; is worth just over 34 Great British Pounds today, that's just on 45 US Dollars, or nearly 69 Australian Dollars. That's the minimum price. The price per word, sixpence and halfpenny [sixpence hayp-ny] is just over 2 Great British Pounds today, nearly 4 US Dollars or almost 6 Australian Dollars. Compare that to the price of SMS, which started at about 21 cents here in Australia, today it's about 3 cents per message of 160 characters. This seems like a lucrative business to be in, but I digress, again. From my current, and ongoing research, it appears that until this point, the early 1900's, the word "radio" was always accompanied by another word, for example in this context, "radio telegraphy", another combination of the day is "radio active", as well as "radio tellurium", which today we know as polonium. Moving on, the response I received from the Postal Museum included other gems, including a reference to the "1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act", from the 15th of August, 1904, where I found something fascinating, from Section 2 paragraph 1: "Where the applicant for a licence proves to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General that the sole object of obtaining the license is to enable him to conduct experiments in wireless telegraphy, a license for that purpose shall be granted, subject to such special terms, conditions and restrictions as the Postmaster-General may think proper, but shall not be subject to any rent or royalty." I think that's the birth of amateur radio licensing in the United Kingdom, right there. As an aside, because I cannot help myself, the definition for the expression "wireless telegraphy", is pretty interesting too, reminding me of a quote, variations going back to at least 1866, incorrectly attributed to Einstein that goes something like this: You see, wire telegraph is a kind of very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, and they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. Seems that the drafters of the "1904 Wireless Telegraphy Act" had the same thing in mind when they wrote: "The expression 'wireless telegraphy' means any system of communication by telegraph as defined in the Telegraph Acts, 1863 to 1904, without the aid of any wire connecting the points from and at which the messages or other communications are sent and received" Now, as I said, I'm still working on this, because the word "radio" as a concept had to have been conceived before the Post Office Circular was written, printed and published. It might transpire that this was the brainchild of a single individual, or it might be that this was a term whose time had arrived, or this might not be the first occurrence of the word "radio" as a concept. Today we think nothing of it when we use it to turn on the radio, listen to, or talk on the radio, radio for help, break radio silence, and plenty of other uses of this now ubiquitous word. Thanks again to the Postal Museum for finding and photographing the Post Office Circular for the 30th of December 1904, which at this stage appears to be the first occurrence of the word "radio" on its own, and for referring me to the 1904 Wireless Telegraphy act which appears to be the birth of "amateur radio" in the United Kingdom. You can find both documents on my project site at vk6flab.com. I should also mention the brave individuals who took the time to share with me how to refer to Old British Money, any mistakes are all mine. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode The automotive industry faces a growing crisis: as veteran trainers and educators retire, there's no clear path for the next generation to replace them. Creating quality training is time-intensive — often taking months to develop just one class — and the personal sacrifices required have deterred many from stepping up. This episode explores the urgent need to evolve automotive education, from rethinking long-form classes to developing shorter, high-impact sessions that better fit today's learning styles. At the heart of the conversation is a proposed solution: an industry “Trainer Boot Camp” designed to teach aspiring educators not only technical knowledge but also the art of presentation — structure, flow, delivery, and audience engagement. Another proposed solution is the creation of a Train the Trainers Scholarship to fund legacy educators like John Thornton and Scot Manna to design and lead this new initiative. Modeled after the WWE's NXT Performance Center, the idea is to proactively cultivate new education “superstars” rather than waiting for them to appear on their own. This is more than a conversation about teaching — it's a call to action to preserve and reinvent the future of automotive education before the knowledge gap becomes irreversible.

“We're building for an agile future — one where messaging channels can finally talk to each other.” — Ariel Reid, VP of Customer Experience, GCH Technologies In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green, Publisher of TR Publications, speaks with Ariel Reid, Vice President of Customer Experience at GCH Technologies, about the company's mission to modernize the wireless messaging and voice ecosystem. Although GCH Technologies is a young company, its team brings over 50 years of combined telecom experience — spanning carriers, aggregators, enterprises, and CPaaS providers. Reid explains that GCH's role as a vendor-neutral platform allows it to help participants across the wireless ecosystem operate more efficiently, transparently, and securely. Reid discussed how messaging infrastructure has evolved into a fragmented patchwork of channels — including SMS, RCS, toll-free messaging, and branded calling — each governed by separate technologies, onboarding rules, and compliance frameworks. “These silos, while well-intentioned, have made it easier for threat actors to exploit gaps between channels,” she noted. GCH's mission is to unify and simplify communication across these environments while preserving flexibility for carriers and enterprises. AI plays a pivotal role in this modernization effort. Reid emphasized that while AI introduces new risks, it also strengthens defense. “For every mousetrap we build, bad actors are building one too — but AI helps us move just as fast, flagging anomalies and onboarding legitimate actors more efficiently,” she explained. A major milestone for GCH arrives January 1, 2026, when the company assumes responsibility for managing the U.S. Short Code Registry in partnership with the CTIA. This transition represents a significant modernization effort for the messaging industry. “We're ensuring continuity while introducing a more modular, data-driven, and future-ready platform,” Reid said. The initiative will centralize information, improve security, and create new opportunities for data-driven collaboration across the ecosystem.

Last week, Google's threat intelligence group warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is making malware attacks more dangerous. [Malware is malicious software—programmes designed to disrupt, damage or gain unauthorised access to computer systems—usually delivered via phishing emails, compromised websites or infected downloads]“Adversaries are no longer leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) just for productivity gains, they are deploying novel AI-enabled malware in active operations,” Google said in a 5000-word blog.Are malware programmes using Large Language Models (LLMs) to dynamically generate malicious scripts, obfuscate their own code to evade detection, and leverage AI models to create malicious functions on demand, as Google warns? Or it this yet another case of tech firms selling solutions to a problem they have created themselves?Listen to the latest episode of Unseen Money from New Money Review, featuring co-hosts Timur Yunusov and Paul Amery, to hear more about the effect of AI malware.In the podcast, we cover:Google's warning about the rise of AI malware – reality or hype?

This episode dives into the reality of safety management systems; how they often feel disconnected, bloated, and stuck in the past. You know. Like a dinosaur.Maybe worse than being a dinosaur is being a dinosaur just for the sake of having something to show off, even when it's just to call something a "system" or to have something to point at.The boys chase down the idea that safety activities like inductions, audits, and incident investigations rarely talk to each other, leading to a lack of real coordination and feedback loops. They explore how organizations sometimes pile on useless tasks and “bullshit” safety activities, missing the mark on what actually matters.  Probably the best part - if there is one - of the conversation touches on the importance of knowledge management, the role of AI in surfacing hidden insights, and the need for systems to be dynamic, not just static documents. There's also a healthy dose of skepticism about the value of safety professionals and a call to focus on what truly keeps people safe, rather than chasing every minor incident.  In a weird twist (not as weird as Dave's pods from Episode 43), the episode wraps up with some mushroom coffee stories, and a reminder that sometimes, the best safety move is knowing when to let go of the small stuff. DISCLAIMER: You probably shouldn't take anything in this podcast too seriously. Punk Rock Safety is for entertainment only. It's definitely not a replacement for professional or legal advice, and the fair amount of piss-taking, shithousery, and general ridiculousness ought to clue you into the fact that no one - and no organization - is endorsing (or un-endorsing, if that's a thing) any products, ideas, or other things.

Think scarcity is just a marketing gimmick? Used properly, it's one of the fastest ways to increase perceived value, build community, and grow sales—without racing to the bottom on discounts. In this episode, I break down the scarcity and drop-model strategies I've seen work at the highest level—from Apple launches and cult collectible brands to Greta Van Riel's Fifth Watches—and how we've used similar principles at Foundr and with our students. You'll learn how to create authentic urgency that customers trust (and respond to), not the fake scarcity that kills credibility. Here's what you'll take away: • The difference between authentic scarcity and gimmicks (and why it matters) • The drop model play: waitlists, fixed windows, and limited quantities • Why unpredictability + rarity (e.g., chase variants) increase desire and UGC • How to pair scarcity with community loops (referrals, trading, VIP access) • The golden rule: set clear rules and never break them or you'll train people not to buy • Practical examples you can deploy this week: VIP waitlists, bonus windows, micro-drops If you implement even one of these—like a real waitlist plus a fixed buying window—you'll see more urgency, cleaner launch spikes, and a brand that feels worth waiting for. This is a brand new solo series I'm testing, and I'd love your feedback. Email me directly at nathan@foundr.com — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode In this fireside conversation, Joe Hanson of Gordie's Auto and Tire shares how a clear purpose—“Helping people do life”—guides every part of the business. This mission shapes both the customer experience and the culture within the shop, ensuring the team feels supported, valued, and equipped to build meaningful careers. Joe walks through the realities of growing the business, from navigating permits and environmental requirements to expanding fleet services and managing tire sales intentionally. Issues such as leadership team dynamics, marketing, and phone call audits are management problems—they are never permanently "fixed," but instead require continuous coaching and management. He also emphasizes the importance of communication, setting clear expectations, and educating customers about the complexity of modern testing and ADAS calibration—not just “plugging in a scanner.” Joe remains committed to the work for as long as it's meaningful—and rooted in helping people, not just chasing revenue.

When Justin Buzzi launched a clear kayak tour in Florida, his goal was to offer something memorable. What he built was one of the most highly rated kayak experiences in the country—with over 50,000 five-star reviews and 30+ franchise locations.In this episode, Justin joins Dustin Miller of Conversion Assist to unpack how they built a guest experience that keeps working long after the paddles are down. From guide training to personalized automations, they reveal the systems and strategies behind their flywheel of reviews, repeat customers, and referrals.Whether you run one tour or many, this conversation offers clear, actionable ideas for tightening operations, earning stronger reviews, and building a reputation that scales.Top 10 TakeawaysStart with experience. Build with systems. Clear kayaks got attention, but it was the systems behind the scenes—like training, hiring, and guest communication—that turned Get Up and Go Kayaking into a scalable business.Google reviews matter most. While they still collect reviews on TripAdvisor, Airbnb, and Facebook, the team prioritizes Google for its impact on search visibility and conversion. That focus shapes everything from email copy to in-person asks.Follow up with every guest, not just the booker. After each tour, automated messages go out to everyone who attended—not just the person who paid. That alone tripled their review volume in one year.Set expectations before guests arrive. Automated pre-tour texts help guests feel informed, reduce no-shows, and create a smoother arrival. That positive start lays the groundwork for better reviews.Empower guides to own the guest relationship.Top guides build connection, read the group, and ask for reviews in ways that feel natural. Some have personally earned over 2,000 five-star reviews through great service and follow-up.Automation can still feel personal. With name-based SMS, segmented follow-ups, and smart timing, Dustin's system balances efficiency with a human touch. Guests feel supported without extra strain on the team.Use your off-season to get stronger. Slow months are for updating SOPs, refreshing content, replacing gear, and optimizing tools. When the season picks up again, the whole operation runs better.Your reviews are a roadmap. Use AI to analyze common praise and complaints in your reviews. What guests love should shape your messaging. What they question should inform training or improvements.Bad reviews are a chance to show who you are. Reply quickly, stay calm, and put future guests at ease. Dustin recommends using AI to help write thoughtful, emotionally neutral responses if needed.Great reviews grow more than bookings. Consistent five-star reviews improve search rankings, boost conversion rates, and increase the long-term value of your company. It's not just a feedback loop—it's a growth engine.

Lured Up Podcast 370: They Were All Trash Live Streamed on - 11/4/2025 Publish Date - 11/7/2025 The last two weeks of Pokémon GO gameplay have been in peak form! The level rebalance kicked off a reinvigoration of the community, and the game has come through with some great events to keep Trainers busy. We recap the Halloween event and how with new Pokémon, new Shinies, an amazing Sinistea Spotlight Hour and GMAX Garbodor, things are rocking and rolling. We also touch on how having a weekend off is actually a good thing, and helps Trainers recover from the onslaught of events that we have been used to recently. November is upon us however, and there is a lot to look forward to. There is also a lot to spend money on as we stack up your options, including 2 GO Passes, a bunch of event tickets, and of course the GO Wild Area. Storage increases, consumables, and Raid Passes will be flowing over Global's weekend, so it is best to go in prepared. Keep a lookout for deals and buy the bundles that fit your needs. Also, if you will be in the Philly area for Global, hit up Ken! There were a few miscellaneous tidbits this week like the Nagasaki Poke Lid Stamp Rally and the Black Friday Sale. November seems to be a packed month but does actually have some empty weekends. Perhaps with the free time you may want to look ahead to Chicago, as there is plenty to plan for with GO Fest looming. With the diversity of Chicago's downtown, you have vastly different environments available to stay in. Just remember, that there are over 50,000 Trainers thinking the same thing.  Halloween Part 1 Halloween Part 2 GMAX Garbodor Enchanted Hollow Into The Wild GO Pass November Wild Area Wild Area Meetups Stamp Rally Black Friday Sale High Voltage Stay up to date by adding our Google Calendar to your account!

Everyone saw the headlines—but the real lessons from Alex Hormozi's $100M book launch are in the planning, positioning, and pre-launch. In this episode, I break down the fundamentals you can lift straight into your next product launch or Black Friday promo: how to think like a founder (not an influencer), engineer your unit economics, and turn months of value-led content into a movement people want to be part of—before you ever make the ask. Here's what you'll take away: • Launch like a founder: plan, test, and engineer every touchpoint (not just “post & hope”) • Positioning > polishing: sell the category and the community, not just the product • Pre-launch depth: stack 3–6 months of value to build goodwill, trust, and demand • Make the math work: VIPs, bulk buys, and upsells that liquidate ad spend • Content as R&D: use social to test hooks, angles, & offers long before launch day • Audience size isn't everything: relationships and belief beat raw follower count If you apply even one of these to your next launch—especially dialing positioning and pre-launch—you'll see a lift in conversion, revenue, and long-tail demand.
