What's the real difference between investors who stay stuck and those who grow, even during uncertain markets?   In this episode, Angel and high-performance coach Trevor McGregor delve into the mindset, strategy, and relationship principles that distinguish struggling real estate investors from those who succeed in the long term. Trevor outlines his “Four S's” framework for growth and discusses how clarity around your vision and values can move you out of a toxic comfort zone and into powerful momentum. Angel shares personal insights from her capital-raising journey, emphasizing the value of building genuine relationships over metrics. This conversation is packed with perspective shifts, personal stories, and simple frameworks investors can apply to scale with integrity and intention.     [00:01 - 04:00] Comfort Zones and the Four S's Why recognizing your focus helps redirect your energy toward opportunity.

In this final episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast's How to Play Daggerheart series, the crew takes a heartfelt and hilarious look back at everything they've learned about Darrington Press's narrative-forward RPG system. From character creation to combat chaos, hope and fear mechanics, and the quirky little swamp village where their adventure took root, the team unpacks what makes Daggerheart such a compelling system—especially for first-time players, roleplay enthusiasts, and GMs who love big feelings with their big swords. The discussion touches on the system's player-friendly mechanics, open storytelling potential, and how Daggerheart reimagines fantasy tropes through a lens of collaboration, emotion, and crunchy (but not too crunchy) dice pools. They reflect on the actual play, their favorite moments, and the ways the system encourages creativity without overwhelming newcomers. If you've ever wanted a system that feels like a stage play one minute and a chaotic improv show the next, this one's for you. Daggerheart (affiliate link) Critical Role - Age of Umbra Content from RPGBOT.net Daggerheart Review Key Takeaways: Daggerheart is ideal for first-time TTRPG players thanks to its narrative-driven, rules-light approach and clearly structured character creation. The game's Hope and Fear dice mechanic adds emotional stakes and cinematic tension to every roll, encouraging players to think about character motivation and drama. Combat is fluid, cinematic, and intentionally collaborative, with mechanics that reward creativity and teamwork rather than pure damage output. The system uses Domain and Experience cards to shape both mechanical choices and character arcs—an innovative twist on traditional leveling systems. Character creation is flexible but approachable, giving players space to express creativity without the paralysis of overwhelming options. The system excels in storytelling-focused play, making it ideal for players who want to lean into emotional arcs, moral complexity, or soap opera-level plot twists. The actual play portion of the series showed how much potential there is for improvisation, character development, and table-wide chaos (the good kind). Daggerheart's tone is welcoming, inclusive, and imaginative—making it an excellent gateway for younger players, theater kids, recovering rules lawyers, and anyone who wants to feel something at the table.

For some reason when the topic of money comes up, many people immediately want to jump into Excel and start exercising the so-called rational part of their brain. Money seems to demand sober, quantitative analysis, devoid of emotion which obfuscates the mathematical truth of the situation. Yet we rarely make decisions in a purely rational manner; emotion plays a large, if not bigger role, than rational thinking in how we choose to act. And if there's anything you've learned hanging around YNAB, it's that money is really just you -- it's a medium for translating your energy and effort in the world into things and experiences.   That's why YNAB came up with five questions, to help you make better decisions with your money while considering your whole self -- both your emotional needs and a rational analysis of your financial situation.   In today's episode Jesse shares the example of a conversation with a self-described highly rational friend, talking about whom he was going to marry. The conversation highlights how the biggest decisions often don't come down to rational analysis alone. Working the five questions, however, you end up at a reasonable place, considering your whole self, both rational and emotional. In a word, we call it spendfulness.   Resources mentioned in this show: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel   Watch The Jesse Mecham Show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jessemechamshow   Got a question for Jesse?

It goes a long way!Our two cafes made a million bucks cumulatively from January to June — but where did it all go?

We break down how much we earned, how much went to cost of goods sold (COGS), what our labor percentages are, and why it feels like there's never quite as much left over as you'd think. Whether you're an aspiring cafe owner or a seasoned vet trying to better understand your margins, this episode is all about transparency and growth.
