Presented by Understood.orgGetting diagnosed with ADHD explains a lot. Then it starts explaining too much.In this episode, Nir Eyal breaks down what happens after that initial relief. When ADHD stops being useful information and starts becoming your identity.He shares how that shift can quietly limit effort, create anxiety loops, and turn every struggle into “this is just how I am.”This isn't about ignoring ADHD.

Notes from James:I wish I had been Kolin Jones when I was 18 years old.When Colin was 19, during COVID, he set up his own private jet brokerage out of a college dorm room. No investors. No jets. No connections. Just a GoDaddy website, an email address, and an obsessive willingness to send 2,500 cold emails a day.Amalfi Jets is on track to do $120 million in revenue this year. And he still doesn't own a single plane.I love how he thought about competition. He literally calculated: my competitor sends 400 emails a day, I'll send 2,500 — that means I'm doing six of his days in one of mine. Do that for a month and I'm four months ahead. That was the whole strategy at the start. Beautiful.And then TikTok changed everything. One video about a client who chartered two jets — one for his wife, one for his mistress — got a million views. 150,000 people hit their website. 15,000 flight requests in a single day. The entire trajectory of the company shifted because of a free video.He also talked about losing money on purpose on his first sale — selling a $24,500 flight for $20,000 to lock in loyalty. Pure Amazon thinking. I love that.And there's a story about a client stranded on the Galapagos Islands whose plane broke down. The client's assistant asked about bribing customs officials. Listen for how Kolin handled it.This is a great template if you're an entrepreneur, a creative, or anyone trying to build something from nothing. Please listen.Episode description:Kolin Jones was 19 years old, in his college dorm during COVID, when he noticed something: commercial flights were grounded, but private jets were surging. He got his pilot's license at Van Nuys Airport — the busiest private jet airport in the world — and launched Amalfi Jets with nothing more than a website, a cold email strategy, and a plan to out-hustle every competitor through sheer volume.James and Kolin break down exactly how the private jet charter brokerage model works, why you can legally set one up today with zero certification or licensing, why Amalfi turns down roughly $1M/week in deals over safety concerns, and what separates a legitimate broker from the hundreds of unregulated players flooding the market. They also get into the social media strategy that transformed the company — why Kolin was initially against TikTok, what changed his mind, and how one viral video created 15,000 flight requests in a day.Plus: what it actually costs to own a private jet, the real economics of flying private vs. first class, why the richest clients show up in jeans and an Uber, what happens when a client punches the pilot mid-flight, and the watch Kolin bought himself the first month Amalfi crossed $2M in revenue.What you'll learnHow a private jet charter brokerage works — and why it requires zero licensing or certification to startThe cold email strategy Kolin used to out-hustle every competitor from his college dormWhy Kolin intentionally lost money on his first few sales — and why it paid offThe real cost of owning a private jet (it's about $800K/year just to park it)Why Amalfi turns down ~$1M/week in business due to safety and legal concernsHow one TikTok about a client's mistress generated 150,000 website visitors and 15,000 flight requests in a single dayWhy Kolin tracks which shirt color makes his videos go more viral (black = +36%)When flying private is actually cheaper than first class — and the math behind itThe Galapagos breakdown story: a stranded client, a broken jet, and a customs bribe requestWhat ultra-high-net-worth clients actually look like vs. the Instagram versionKolin's plans for Amalfi: acquisitions, possible PE partnership, and why he won't go publicTimestamps:00:00 Why flying private ruins you for commercial forever06:00 What Amalfi Jets actually is — and how the charter brokerage model works09:00 The real cost of owning a private jet13:00 The wild west of jet brokerage — zero regulation, zero licensing required16:00 The Galapagos story: broken jet, stranded client, and a near-bribe20:00 Colin's origin story: COVID, flight school, and cold emailing 2,500 people a day26:30 The first sale: losing $4,000 on purpose and the Amazon strategy that built loyalty30:00 How one TikTok about a mistress changed everything36:00Inside Amalfi's content machine — and the clients who punch pilots41:00 When private is actually cheaper than first class — the real math46:00 The tech behind Amalfi: AI fleet optimization, 72K-member app, and social listening50:00 Burying competitors with relevance — and what's next for Amalfi57:00 The first splurge: an Omega Seamaster and what it representsAdditional Resources:Amalfi JetsKolin's InstagramKolin on TikTokAmalfi Jets on TikTokSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when a personal tragedy becomes the catalyst for helping thousands of families preserve their stories? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Charlie Greene, CEO and Co-Founder of Remento, who turned his experience recording his mom's stories during her cancer diagnosis into a Shark Tank-approved business that's helped over 30,000 families create memory books."Writing feels like homework," Charlie's mom told him when he gave her a write-your-own-memoir book. So he tried something different—he just hit record and started asking questions. That simple pivot became the foundation for Remento, a product that creates keepsake memory books that completely write themselves, no writing required.From discussing the difference between "family history" and "selling a story" to sharing insights about resilience research in children, this conversation explores the art and science of storytelling. Charlie reveals what he learned about helping people who think "I don't know why my story matters" discover that their experiences are worth preserving—and how reframing it as a gift for your kids rather than your own legacy changes everything.Whether you're an entrepreneur building something deeply personal, a leader interested in the power of storytelling, or someone who wants to preserve family memories before it's too late, Charlie's journey from that first recording with his mom to appearing on Shark Tank offers valuable lessons about building businesses that truly matter.Chapter Times and Titles:Introduction: The Story Behind the Story [00:00 - 06:16]Welcome, and the abstract conversation teaseWhat is Remento?

Building a successful business isn't just about strategy, sales, or marketing. It's about people. In this episode, Susan Mahaffee, CEO and Founder of People Rise, shares why culture, leadership, and strong HR foundations are the real drivers of long-term growth. Whether you're a solopreneur preparing to hire or a growing business managing a team, you'll learn how to build a people-first organization that attracts, develops, and retains the right talent. If you want to lead with confidence, avoid costly mistakes, and create a workplace where people actually want to stay, this conversation is for you.Episode Topics:Why culture is the deciding factor for employee retention and growthWhen small business owners should start thinking about HRContractors vs. employees and setting clear expectationsThe hidden risks of DIY HR and “ChatGPT handbooks”Building leadership skills as your business growsCreating systems, processes, and compliance from the startThe shift toward people-first workplaces and purpose-driven cultureInside the People Power Masterclass and cohort leadership modelInsights:When your people rise, your business rises.Culture is the primary reason employees choose to stay or leave.Investing early in the right people systems prevents costly “rework tax” later.Many business owners invest in marketing and sales but neglect leadership development.Employees leave when they don't see a future, growth path, or strong leadership.Today's workforce prioritizes purpose, values, and meaningful work over compensation alone.Great leaders create calm confidence, even when navigating difficult situations.Highlights:00:00 Welcome and Intro00:13 Introductions & Setup02:06 FAM Realty Background03:39 Reason for Social Shift08:15 Content Strategy & Execution13:20 Recording Levels & Workflow16:47 Boosting & Profile Strategy18:26 Advice for Individuals22:42 Engagement Tactics26:29 Mindset on Engagement30:11 Closing & Resources31:18 Podcast episode endedResources:Website: https://www.peoplerisellc.com/ Instagram & LinkedIn: @PeopleRiseLLCPeople Power Masterclass (6-month leadership cohort)Upcoming book: When People Rise: HR Secrets for Small...

When law enforcement calls a press conference, they're supposed to provide clarity and control the narrative. Last week's Pima County Sheriff's press conference about missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie—mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie—did the opposite.I brought on Emmy-winning former network correspondent Clayton Sandell to break down what went wrong. He spoke with me during a live chat on Substack on February 6, 2026. Clayton spent 25+ years covering major breaking news for ABC and Scripps, and now trains leaders on crisis communication. If anyone knows what a press conference should look like, it's him. We dissect:Why Sheriff Nanos appeared defensive and disorganized from the startThe critical mistakes: "Your guess is as good as mine" and "mistakes will be made"How the FBI agent's composure highlighted the sheriff's strugglesAshley Banfield's controversial reporting on a "person of interest"Whether the $50,000 reward press conference was even necessaryWhy the family's ransom video echoes Silence of the LambsHow NBC is managing tragedy during Olympic coverageThis isn't a true-crime episode; it's crisis communication. However, the discussion does shed light on how an investigation can lose its way. When a press conference becomes part of the crisis instead of the solution, every misstep gets magnified. This case study shows exactly how that happens in real time.What you'll learn: How to spot when officials are scrambling versus strategically withholding information, the difference between media training for one-on-ones versus press conferences, why "focusing on process" signals a lack of substantive leads, and what reporters are really looking for when they're in that room.Guest: Clayton Sandell, Emmy Award-winning former ABC News and Scripps correspondent, crisis communication trainerWatch the press conference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzPe6wG3GY0Want More Behind the Breakdown?

The Simplest (But Scariest) Way to Make MoneyThe simplest way to make money in your business is also the one most people avoid.I see it all the time: incredibly smart, capable professionals who know they have something valuable to offer… but keep telling themselves they need more clarity before they can start selling.So they plan. They overthink.They try to design the perfect offer before ever talking to a real person.It feels responsible. It feels safe. But it's quietly delaying their income — and eroding their confidence.In this episode, I'm breaking down the four traps that keep talented people from making money now — and showing you the three-step process for getting paid while you're still getting clear.Because here's the truth most people get wrong: You don't get clear before you get paid.You get clear in the process of getting paid.I walk you through:Why “waiting until you're ready” is costing you revenueThe 4 traps that keep people stuck in planning modeWhat to sell when you don't think you have an offerWho to sell to when you don't think you have an audienceWhy simplicity beats strategy at the startThe exact skills you actually need to land clients (and the ones you don't)This is the same approach I used to start my business — and the same one I teach clients who want to stop delaying and start getting paid without burning themselves out.When you get this right, everything changes:Conversations turn into opportunitiesOpportunities turn into clientsClients turn into income — quickly and naturallyIt's so much simpler than you think.And you can start right now._____Royalty Free Music from Tunetank.com Track: Urban Legend by Musical Bakery⁠ https://tunetank.com/track/3362-urban-legend/⁠

Affiliate marketing is shedding its outdated reputation and entering a new era—one centered on authenticity, emotional resonance, and genuine human connection. In fact, during the 2024 U.S. Cyber Monday, influencers and affiliate marketers were responsible for driving around 20% of e-commerce revenue, highlighting just how influential trust-based recommendations have become. At the center of that shift is “vibe marketing,” a new way of thinking about how brands and creators grow together.So, what does it really mean to “get the vibe right”? And how are creators and brands redefining influence?In this episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, host Adam Morrisey speaks with Andrew Abony, founder and CEO of Adbloom, about how affiliate marketing is evolving into something bigger—what Andrew calls vibe marketing. Andrew's background spans traditional media, early-stage startups, and the modern creator economy, and he's on a mission to help people earn a living by being themselves.The duo talk about what it really means to “get the vibe right,” how brands are losing control (in a good way), and why authenticity is the most valuable currency in marketing today.Key takeaways from the episode…Affiliate = Authentic referrals at scaleAndrew reframes affiliate marketing as a simple idea: people sharing products they actually use and love—and getting paid for it.Vibes > ViralityBrands win when their values, products, and partners align emotionally. When that alignment is off, people feel it and tune out.Execution over everythingThere are lots of good ideas out there. The ones that win are the ones that get shipped. No matter how scrappy the start.Let go of controlThe best-performing content often comes from creators, not corporate. Smart brands are leaning into co-creation, not just dictating the narrative.The new frontier is human + AICreators are using AI to scale their voice. Not to replace themselves, but to extend what they can do across platforms.The episode also covers…The story behind Adbloom's startThe origin of affiliate marketingStanley mugs and vibe-driven growthWhy B2B is starting to look more like D2CCreating community as a byproduct of doing something specialRunning, raison d'être, and what happens when you have the will and support to winAndrew Abony is the CEO and co-founder of Adbloom, a high-growth affiliate and partnership marketing agency that helps startups and enterprise clients scale through creator-driven content and performance marketing. With over 15 years of experience in growth strategy, digital product innovation, and mobile marketing, he has led initiatives at companies like Mood Media and Somerset Entertainment, where he launched award-winning products and forged key partnerships. His clients have included major brands like Uber, Buzzfeed, RBC, and ByteDance, and his work spans the gig economy, fintech, edtech, and D2C sectors.

BIO: Mike Koenigs is a serial entrepreneur with five successful exits, a 19-time bestselling author, and a top strategist for founders post-exit.STORY: Mike invested big in a SaaS startup set up for success, but infighting brought it to its knees.LEARNING: Character is bigger than charisma. “If you're a shareholder, your best exit is for a big company to come and buy what they believe is money at a discount.”Mike Koenigs Guest profileMike Koenigs is a serial entrepreneur with five successful exits, a 19-time bestselling author, and a top strategist for founders post-exit. He helps build powerful personal brands in just one week and pioneers Generative AI for executives, speaking at elite events like Abundance 360, MIT, and Tony Robbins' gatherings.Worst investment everMike learned about a SaaS startup from a client with whom he had spent time and had gotten to know, like, and trust him. So, when the client introduced Mike to this deal, he got interested.The startup looked great, so he invested a substantial amount of money and then doubled down because it got even better.Off to a promising startThe basic premise was that it was a pool. The founders would find SaaS companies with customers, momentum, technology, and a bit of a moat. They had much experience and success, such as a 10x dividend to investors in three years.Infighting paralyzes everythingUnfortunately, the two founders started fighting. One of them locked the other one out of everything. They had the majority and equal shareholding, making infighting even worse. The remaining partner started emptying the coffers.Someone doing the books became a whistleblower and revealed the shenanigans going on. The partner was siphoning off money, building a house, going on big trips, using private jets everywhere, etc. It got uglier and uglier, causing the shareholders to file lawsuits, and the FTC got involved. Years have gone by, and things are still shut down.Lessons learnedTime kills deals.Character is bigger than charisma. Crooked founders will gut you faster than any market downturn.Put all that money into index funds and let it compound.Andrew's takeawaysThe only way to invest as an angel investor is to invest in 10 startups. Don't do it if you are not prepared with the money and time to do that.Actionable adviceUnless you're a full-time VC with deal flow, customer channels, or an exit mapped out, keep your money in things you can control. If you're a shareholder, your best exit is for a big company to come and buy what they believe is money at a discount.Mike's recommendationsMike recommends learning to build a brand that will elevate everything you touch for the rest of your life. He suggests reading his book, Your Next Act: The Six Growth Accelerators for Creating a Business You'll Love for the Rest of Your Life, to help you build your brand. He also recommends immersing yourself in AI and learning how to use it effectively.No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsMike's number one goal for the next 12 months is to become an international citizen. He wants to continue living his beautiful life in multiple locations and working with more entrepreneurs worldwide.Parting words “Go out and build your brand. You will get access to better deals faster at a discounted price.”

Let's talk about money — with compassion, clarity, and zero judgment.In this solo episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common struggles I see with women entrepreneurs (especially mamas just starting out): not feeling confident or organized when it comes to the money side of your business. Whether you're not making money yet, not tracking your income, or not paying yourself — this episode is here to help you shift from shame to empowerment.After more than a decade of coaching women entrepreneurs, I've noticed that financial clarity and confidence aren't built overnight — but they are learnable. You don't need to be a numbers nerd or love spreadsheets. You just need to start.So if you've ever said, “I'm just not good with money” — grab a notebook, tune in, and let's change that narrative together.
