Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kurt Farquhar. Television & Film Composer, Founder of Fall Crop Productions and True Music ProNotable Credits: The King of Queens, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Being Mary Jane, The Proud Family, The Neighborhood, Black LightningAwards: 10 BMI AwardsTenure: 38+ years in television Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview is to educate and inspire creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals about longevity, adaptability, and wealth-building behind the scenes. Kurt Farquhar’s journey highlights how sustainable success comes from mastery of craft, relationship-building, and treating creativity as a business—not chasing visibility or fame. Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3. Residual Income Is Real Wealth Rushion and Kurt discuss “mailbox money”—recurring payments from past work. “If you just had the mailbox money for King of Queens, you’d be fine.” Insight: True financial freedom comes from owning work that keeps paying. 4. Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8. Ownership Multiplies Creativity Into Business Kurt built True Music Pro, a licensing library used across major networks and streaming platforms. “I realized companies were licensing more of my music than I was… so I built my own library.” Insight: Ownership turns talent into scalable income. Notable Quotes “The journey to stay in is harder than the journey to get in.” “Treat it like a business and it might treat you in kind.” “I do my job, I do it the best I can, and I move on to the next one.” “Character is character. Relationships matter.” “That success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens with care.” Overall Impact of the Interview This interview serves as a masterclass on creative longevity and wealth-building without celebrity dependency. Kurt Farquhar’s story reframes success as: Consistent excellence Relationship stewardship Business ownership Adaptability across generations It is especially powerful for: Creatives seeking sustainable careers Entrepreneurs building IP-based businesses Professionals navigating long-term relevance Anyone pursuing “quiet wealth” over public fame #SHMS #STRAW #BEST #AMISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Franchise evolution is one of the most important factors in determining whether a brand can remain competitive over the long term. Consumer expectations shift, markets change, operational costs fluctuate, and new technologies continue reshaping how businesses connect with customers. Brands that fail to adapt risk becoming outdated, while those willing to evolve strategically are often the ones that continue growing for decades. That balance between consistency and adaptability is something Dan Doulen understands well. As Senior Director of Franchise Business Development at Golden Corral, Dan works with one of the most established restaurant franchise systems in the country. With more than 50 years of brand history and hundreds of locations nationwide, Golden Corral has experienced multiple shifts in consumer behavior, restaurant trends, and economic cycles. Remaining relevant through those changes requires more than maintaining a recognizable brand. It requires ongoing franchise evolution. One of the key themes behind franchise evolution is understanding that customer expectations are never static. What consumers wanted from restaurants ten or twenty years ago is different from what they expect today. Value still matters, but convenience, flexibility, quality, and experience have become equally important factors influencing purchasing decisions. For legacy brands, adapting to those changes can be challenging. Long-established systems often have deeply ingrained operational models and infrastructure. While those systems provide stability, they can also create resistance to change. Successful franchise evolution requires brands to evaluate what should remain consistent while identifying areas that need modernization. Golden Corral's approach reflects this balance. Rather than abandoning the core identity that made the brand successful, the company has focused on evolving operationally and strategically. This includes exploring smaller and more flexible footprints, conversion opportunities, and nontraditional real estate locations that better align with current market conditions. Real estate strategy has become an increasingly important part of franchise growth. Traditional standalone locations with large footprints may not always provide the best path for expansion in every market. By considering alternative spaces and adaptive reuse opportunities, brands can reduce development costs while increasing flexibility. This type of strategic evolution allows franchise systems to expand more efficiently while responding to changing commercial real estate conditions. Franchise evolution also depends heavily on franchisee relationships. Dan repeatedly emphasizes the importance of maintaining a franchisee-centric culture. In mature franchise systems, collaboration between corporate leadership and franchisees becomes essential for making informed decisions and maintaining operational alignment. Franchisees provide direct insight into customer behavior, operational challenges, and local market trends that can help shape broader brand strategies. Strong franchise systems recognize that innovation does not only come from the corporate office. Some of the most impactful ideas emerge from operators working directly within the business every day. Another major factor influencing franchise evolution is operational flexibility. Consumer habits continue changing, especially in the restaurant industry. Some customers prioritize convenience and speed, while others value experience and variety. Brands that can adapt their systems to accommodate multiple customer preferences are better positioned to remain relevant across changing demographics. Golden Corral's ability to appeal to a wide range of customers reflects this flexibility. From families and value-focused diners to health-conscious consumers looking for variety, the buffet model continues evolving alongside broader dining trends. Maintaining relevance requires not only operational consistency but also a willingness to adapt menus, marketing, and guest experiences over time. Ford Saeks often emphasizes that visibility and relevance go hand in hand. Businesses cannot rely solely on past success to maintain momentum. As consumer behaviors shift toward digital discovery, AI search, and online reviews, brands must continuously evaluate how they are being perceived and discovered in the marketplace. This is especially important for franchise brands with multiple locations. A strong national presence matters, but local visibility and customer engagement remain critical for individual unit performance. Franchise systems that effectively combine national branding with localized marketing support are often better positioned for sustainable growth. Franchise evolution also requires leadership willing to think proactively rather than reactively. Brands that wait too long to adjust operational models, technology, or development strategies often face greater challenges later. Continuous evaluation and strategic flexibility allow organizations to respond more effectively to market changes before they become major obstacles. As markets continue evolving, franchise systems that remain adaptable while protecting their core identity will have a significant advantage. Growth today is not simply about adding more units. It is about building systems that can respond to change, support franchisees effectively, and maintain relevance with customers over time. Dan Doulen's work highlights an important reality for franchise leaders. Longevity is not created by standing still. It is built through continuous franchise evolution supported by strong systems, strategic adaptability, and a commitment to staying relevant in changing markets. Watch the ful episode on YouTube.

In this episode, Chris sits down with Josh Zegen, Co-Founder & Managing Principal of Madison Realty Capital, a $25 billion real estate private credit firm he started with his college roommate in 2004. They dig into how he built one of the largest private lenders in the country starting from a desk in his dad's law office - and why he still thinks of himself as a businessman first and a real estate guy second. Josh got into lending almost by accident. Laid off from a VC firm at 26 when the dot-com bubble burst, he took one mortgage deal nobody else would do, saw how fragmented and non-institutional the market was, and built a fund around it before "private credit" meant anything. Chris and Josh go deep on surviving '08, reinventing the business when capital dried up, and how Madison grew into a platform that now lends to other lenders. They discuss: How Josh went from a laid-off VC associate living back home to founding a $25B firm Surviving '09 - including giving up 50% of the company for a $50M anchor that collapsed at the last minute Why he built servicing, asset management, and capital raising in-house instead of outsourcing The $10B back-leverage book that makes Madison the lender to ~100 other private lenders The $720M single loan behind the largest office-to-residential conversion in NYC Where he sees real estate credit headed - and why he stays away from office, data centers, and anything "binary" Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(00:52) Rate Volatility and a Stalled CRE Investment Market(09:44) What's Getting Done Today: Construction, Conversions, and Recaps(18:49) Founding Madison: Seeing Opportunity in a Fragmented Market(25:19) The GFC: Gating Investors and Going Vertically Integrated(31:26) The $50M REIT Deal That Nearly Ended Madison—And the Door It Opened(44:28) Why Borrowers Now Prefer Private Credit Over Banks(47:17) In-House Loan Servicing as Madison's Competitive Edge(49:06) The Back Leverage Business: Lending to Private Lenders(55:35) Capital Markets Expansion and Staying True to Real Estate(1:05:55) The Pfizer Deal, Lifecycle Lending, and Madison's Road Ahead(1:15:06) Staying Relevant by Constantly Innovating and Looking for Acquisition Opportunities ----- Presented by Airshare: Trusted across the country for fractional ownership, jet cards, charter, and aircraft management, Airshare gives you a smarter way to fly private - over 25 years of experience, operating their own fleet, with the top safety ratings in the industry.

Episode 219: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-freeAI is fundamentally changing how people find information online — and if you're relying on Google search traffic or organic content to drive leads, you've likely already felt the impact.For coaches, course creators, and agency owners, this shift isn't just an algorithm update; it's a complete disruption to the visibility strategies that have worked for years.In this episode, Tim Woda teaches us how to adapt and stay profitable, including why building a recognizable brand makes you more likely to appear in AI-generated responses, how platforms like YouTube and Reddit represent overlooked opportunities for discovery, and why moving toward high-ticket offers can dramatically reduce your dependence on traffic volume — and the stress that comes with it.About Tim Woda: Tim is a digital strategist, entrepreneur, and growth architect who helps businesses win when the rules change.

In This Episode Technology is evolving rapidly—but according to Allister Frost, the real challenge is not AI itself. It is whether humans stop thinking, learning, and communicating for themselves. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Allister Frost, future-ready mindset expert and former Microsoft strategist, about how leaders and businesses can remain relevant in an increasingly uncertain world. Allister explains that while AI and technology are accelerating change, the key to long-term success lies in strengthening uniquely human capabilities rather than competing directly with machines. Adi and Allister discuss the importance of having a clear personal mission that acts as a stabilizing force during uncertainty. While processes, tools, and technology may constantly evolve, a strong sense of purpose provides direction and clarity. Allister shares how focusing on service, growth, and contribution helps individuals navigate change without becoming overwhelmed. The conversation also explores the dangers of overreliance on AI. Allister emphasizes that AI should remain a tool—not a replacement for human thinking, creativity, or collaboration. The businesses and professionals who succeed will be those who continue learning, communicate courageously, and use technology intentionally while maintaining meaningful human connection.  

What happens when the way you've always done things… stops working? In this episode, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ Schofield pull back the curtain on what's really happening in today's chiropractic landscape, and why so many doctors feel like they're doing everything "right" but still not seeing the same results. They unpack the massive shifts in marketing, patient behavior, and technology, and why relying on old systems (screenings, ads, referrals alone) just isn't enough anymore. But this isn't about chasing trends... It's about anchoring deeper into your fundamentals, while learning how to evolve with the world around you. From the power of language and identity in chiropractic… to the discipline required to create consistent content… to the necessity of surrounding yourself with the right people, this episode is a wake-up call for anyone who wants to grow, lead, and stay relevant.

This is where it gets spicy. Part two kicks off with a crash course in policy experiments and why state-vs-state competition could be America's cheat code—or its downfall. If you've ever raged at why politicians keep talking but nothing gets fixed (homelessness, out-of-control rents, broken education system), Bill Gurley is right there with you—AND he's backing up his rant with receipts. We peel back what actually works in places like Austin and Houston—and why so much good policy gets blocked by bad incentives and performative politics. Get ready for eye-popping stories about lobbyists, broken U.S. systems versus what works in Germany and China, and why American media coverage can't keep up. Plus, we go deep on the future of AI—where Bill is refreshingly candid about both the bubble and the opportunity (if you're not learning these tools, what are you even doing?!). Bill breaks down exactly who loses their jobs, how schools and kids can weaponize curiosity, and why passion—not just hard work—protects you from getting left behind. Wrapping up, we riff on Bill's new book “Running Down a Dream,” the cruel illusion of the “safe” path, and why genius (and VC success) is a young person's game. This is SO much more than tech talk—this is your cheat sheet for thriving in a world that's never stopping.

In this episode, Brad and Dave tackle a question every cartoonist eventually asks: Where should I invest my time and energy? From gallery shows to professional organizations to keeping up with “the kids,” this conversation is packed with practical, experience-tested advice. But first things first! Here's Brad's 2021 blog post about the science behind why vampires don't cast a reflection in a mirror. Are Art Galleries Worth It? A listener asks whether exhibiting in a gallery helps grow a comics career. Key takeaways: • Gallery exposure rarely converts into comic readers • If it's not clickable, it's not effective promotion • Sales are often split (sometimes 50/50), cutting into profits • You can usually sell original art more effectively on your own platform • The biggest benefit? Personal satisfaction and a nice ego boost Should Beginners Join Professional Organizations? Brad and Dave revisit a classic question: Are groups like the National Cartoonists Society (NCS) worth it? • 10–15 years ago: Limited practical value• Today: Much more actionable, community-driven, and educational What You Actually Get • Real-world, practical learning (panels, talks, workshops) • Networking with professionals who actually understand comics • Access to events, meetups, and tabling opportunities • Career insight you won't get from general audiences Pro tip: For younger creators, discounted memberships make this a much easier entry point. ComicLab at the Reubens Brad and Dave will be presenting at this year's Reuben Awards Weekend, August 6-8 in Columbus, Ohio. Their session: “Actionable Advice in a Time of Change” • Practical, career-focused insights • Guest cartoonists joining a live panel format • A mix of strategy, storytelling, and real-world experience They'll also be around all weekend — panels, conversations, and (possibly questionable) lunch recommendations.

The Bank holiday weekend is incoming, so the boys kick things off with their plans… Then it takes a turn. Conspiracy theories. Of course Sam's got a few up his sleeve, including the moon landing, but surprisingly Pete also comes in with one of his own… aliens. Yep. Pete believes in them…we didn't see that one coming. From there we chat what their alter egos would be with the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary airing. We then wrap things up with listener questions. Do the boys have a party trick each? Pete absolutely refuses to participate, while Sam fully leans in and reveals a trick no one was ready for. And finally, the big one… would they go back or forward 20 years? Which leads to a deeper question, will they actually be friends forever… and does that include Pippa?! —

In this episode of Time for a Reset: Insights from Global Brand Marketers, brought to you by Overline, host Fiona Davis speaks with Raja Rajamannar, Senior Fellow and former CMO of Mastercard and one of the most influential voices in modern marketing, about the urgent need to reset the marketing function.Raja argues that marketing has not just lost influence, it has lost credibility. He traces this back to a fundamental disconnect between marketing and business outcomes, where marketers failed to understand financial drivers, revenue models, and the language of the C-suite. As a result, CEOs have lost trust, new roles like Chief Growth Officer have emerged, and marketing has been pushed out of strategic decision-making.Drawing on his experience leading Mastercard's transformation into one of the world's fastest-growing brands, Raja introduces the idea of “Quantum Marketing”, a reimagining of the entire marketing value chain, from insights to customer engagement. He shares how shifting from traditional advertising to immersive, multisensory experiences helped reposition marketing as a growth engine rather than a cost centre.From redefining the capabilities of modern marketers to rethinking how marketing is taught in business schools, this episode offers a candid and forward-looking perspective for leaders navigating a rapidly changing landscape.Raja Rajamannar spent over a decade at Mastercard, transforming the brand into one of the fastest-growing and most valuable in the world. He is currently a Senior Fellow and former CMO at Mastercard and an Executive Fellow at both Harvard Business School and Yale School of Management, where he is focused on reimagining the future of marketing. With a career spanning leadership roles across companies like Unilever, Citibank, and Mastercard, Raja is widely recognised for pioneering the concept of “Quantum Marketing” and for bringing a deeply commercial, data-driven, and innovation-led approach to modern marketing.Topics Covered:Why marketing has lost credibility and influence in the C-suiteThe disconnect between marketing activity and business outcomesThe rise of performance marketing and its limitationsWhy marketers must become general managers, not specialistsThe concept of “Quantum Marketing” and resetting the value chainHow Mastercard transformed marketing into a growth driverThe shift from advertising to experiential and multisensory marketingWhy AI and technology level the playing field for companiesCreativity and human connection as the next competitive advantageThe future role of marketing as a cross-functional, strategic driverThe evolving skillset required for modern marketing leadersEpisode Chapters:00:00 Intro and meet Raja Rajamannar02:08 Resetting the Entire Marketing Function06:13 Why Marketing Has Lost Its Influence10:41 Capabilities of a Strategic Marketer17:59 AI, Technology, and the Future of Differentiation20:28 Transforming Marketing at Mastercard27:09 A Defining Career Moment in Sales31:16 The Future of Marketing as a Function33:40 Skills for the Marketer of Tomorrow36:07 Staying Relevant in a Changing IndustryIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on Support the show

On this week's bonus, the boys relive the iconic university presentation that went completely off-script - including the moment Sam accidentally dropped his arsehole centre stage...

NOT), and Sam relives the time he made the worst dressed list thanks to his beloved Crocs.With I'm A Celeb All Stars round the corner, Sam spills on his savage run in with Gemma Collins... and we uncover Pete will be joining Sam on the sofa for I'm a Celeb: Unpacked.

Veterinary careers rarely unfold according to plan. They evolve through opportunity, relationships, timing — and often through saying yes before we feel fully ready. In this episode of Choose People Love Pets, Dr. Gary Marshall — practice owner, feline-focused entrepreneur, and longtime contributor to organized veterinary medicine — reflects on the winding path of a decades-long career. From building “Cat Class” for students across six continents to navigating leadership roles and professional transitions, Gary shares what saying yes created… and what it cost. This conversation explores: The hidden trade-offs of opportunity The cost of always saying yes — and the cost of always saying no Loneliness in leadership, even in rooms full of thousands Why customer service will matter more in a shifting economic landscape What younger generations are teaching the profession about agency How culture moves from philosophy to business infrastructure As veterinary medicine moves out of survival mode and into a more uncertain market environment, the question isn't just how to grow — but how to evolve. This episode is about discernment, relevance, and building a career that reflects who you are — not just the titles you collect.  Key Takeaways • Saying yes can shape your career in ways you can't predict — but every yes carries a cost. • Guarding boundaries is important, but rigidity can limit growth. • Leadership can be deeply lonely — belonging requires intention. • Culture isn't soft — it's structural to retention, client trust, and financial resilience. • Economic shifts will reward practices that never stopped prioritizing experience. • Younger veterinarians are modeling agency — and the profession is evolving because of it.  About Dr. Gary Marshall Dr. Gary Marshall is a veterinary practice owner and longtime leader in organized veterinary medicine. Over the course of his career, he has contributed to professional organizations, mentored students across the globe through “Cat Class,” and built a feline-focused practice aligned with his values and vision for modern veterinary care. Email: gmarshall@avma.orgLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garymarshalldvm/ Instagram: @it.might.get.weird  Podcast: It Might Get Weird: Journeys In Veterinary Medicine Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3nzCLsF3xiIGeytyp8qDJW?si=08e194c78287445f Itmightgetweird.buzzsprout.com  Follow CPLP Podcast for more:  FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556480229406&mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠  IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/choosepeoplelovepets?igsh=MTVzZjc4ZHE4MWd2NQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr⁠  LI: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/choose-people-love-pets/⁠  

In This Episode In this episode of the Age of Infinite, David Goldsmith sits down with physicist and futurist Isaac Arthur, creator of Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur and president of the National Space Society, for a wide-ranging conversation about how humanity navigates the future while remaining deeply human. What begins as a discussion about science and space quickly expands into a broader exploration of how people think about the future, why many conversations about progress are actually rooted in the past, and how real future thinking requires lived experience, global awareness, and systems-level perspective. Drawing on experiences working across countries and cultures, David challenges the assumptions that often shape predictions about technology, population, and civilization, while Isaac explains how his work uses real physics and rigorous thinking to explore long-term possibilities for humanity. Together they examine why expansion beyond Earth should be understood not as an escape from our problems but as part of humanity's natural progression to build, explore, and grow—while wrestling with the deeper challenge of staying relevant, thoughtful, and human in a world changing faster than ever. Episode Outlines The core question behind the work Why this is not a rejection of process Space as expansion not an escape hatch Human enhancement without human eraser What staying relevant actually means What changes the first 10-30 years Meaning behind employment The long view continuity over optimization Biography of the Guest Isaac Arthur is the creator and host of the award-winning series Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur, one of the world's largest long-form science and futurism channels. His weekly episodes—now numbering over 800—explore everything from space exploration, megastructure engineering, and interstellar travel to AI, post-scarcity economies, and the fate of civilizations across cosmic timescales. With over a million followers across YouTube and other platforms, Isaac has become a leading voice in accessible hard-science futurism, blending rigorous physics with imaginative, optimistic speculation about humanity's long-term future. His work delves deeply into how advanced civilizations—human or alien—might behave logistically, socially, and technologically under real scientific principles, covering topics such as Dyson spheres, planetary terraforming, the Fermi Paradox, post-biological life, and the far future of the Universe. His episodes are widely used in classrooms, STEM programs, and worldbuilding projects, and he frequently consults with science-fiction authors, game studios, and media producers. Isaac is also a regular guest across radio, podcasts, documentaries, and online programming. Beyond his role as a science communicator, Isaac serves as President of the National Space Society, advancing public understanding and advocacy for space development. He is also the Chairman of the Ashtabula County Board of Elections, where he brings the same dedication to civic service that he brings to public education. Isaac graduated top of his class in Physics at age 20, after grad school he served in the United States Army from 2003-2010, including deployment to Iraq and three years stationed in Germany. He lives on his farm in Ohio with his wife, State Representative Sarah Fowler Arthur, and their three children, where they homeschool, run a small farm, and remain deeply involved in community life.

Ben reflects on his emotional on-camera reaction at the finish and shares his own marathon journey, progressing from 2:50 at the 2019 London Marathon to 2:44 in Chicago, with a long-term goal of running in the 2:30s.
