The GSA Multiple Award Schedule opens a bidding channel outside SAM.gov, where some contracts draw as few as four bidders, and a vendor can register without a prior federal win. Eric Coffie walks through why he moved to the GSA Schedule after three years of bidding on SAM.gov with no traction, how long approval actually takes, and how the Schedule builds a path toward a quarter to half a million in sales and larger vehicles like OASIS and 8(a) STARS. What you'll learn in this episode: Why GSA Schedule contracts often draw fewer bidders than the same work posted on SAM.gov The real GSA approval timeline right now, three months for one SIN and six to nine with the current backlog Why submitting all your SIN codes at once beats filing a modification later How getting vetted on the Schedule positions you for OASIS, Alliant 3, and 8(a) STARS How to use FPDS to check how many vendors actually bid before you pursue an opportunity Chapters: 0:00 - GSA Schedule versus bidding blind on SAM.gov 1:14 - Debrief lessons from a second-place USDA bid 2:30 - Why approvals now need manager sign-off 4:00 - Three years on SAM.gov with no traction 4:48 - Finding four-bidder opportunities inside FPDS 6:20 - Submit every SIN code at once, not later 7:50 - Building toward a half-million and OASIS Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.   Sign up for free Daily Alerts and get opportunities delivered to your inbox before the day starts.

Jen Abel is the co-founder of JJellyfish and GM of enterprise sales at State Affairs. She is widely regarded as one of the sharpest practitioners in enterprise sales, and for that reason, this is her third visit to the podcast. In our first conversation we went deep on founder-led sales; in our second we mapped the $1M–$10M playbook. This time we do something I've never seen on another podcast: walk step by step through the full enterprise sales cycle. Most people think it's five steps. Jen shows it's closer to 15.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why the standard five-stage CRM pipeline is a forecasting tool, not a sales process, and what the real 15-step cycle looks like2. The “pincer model” for landing the first meeting at the executive and N-minus-one level simultaneously3. How to craft a two-to-three-sentence message around giving them “alpha”4. How to run an intro call that extracts maximum intelligence before you ever show a demo5. The two-to-three-day pilot structure, how to define success jointly, and when to charge for a longer pilot versus giving it away6.

A sources sought response is a small business's chance to recommend specific past-performance and PWS requirements that the government can place directly into the solicitation, legally narrowing who can compete. Eric Coffie walks through how to shape those recommendations, from citing a five-year VA janitorial contract to requiring three years of prime performance on a 50,000 square foot facility, so a qualified vendor stands out before the solicitation is even written. What you'll learn in this episode: How a sources sought response lets you recommend PWS requirements the government can copy-paste into the solicitation The specific past-performance language that narrows a field to service-disabled veteran owned or woman owned small businesses Why requiring contract numbers with the proposal separates real past performance from vendors who only claim it How to weight a best-value trade-off so experience outranks price and you avoid the LPTA race to the bottom Why almost every federal service opportunity falls into roughly 70 service types, and how to own the one you do Chapters: 0:00 - Sources sought as a way to shape requirements 1:00 - Recommending PWS language that limits competition 1:53 - Citing a $282K five-year VA janitorial contract 2:33 - Requiring three years prime on a 50,000 square foot facility 3:25 - Ghosting the requirement and nudging toward SDVOSB 4:47 - Standing out among lackluster sources sought responses 5:37 - Best-value trade-off versus LPTA and factor weighting 7:11 - Requiring contract numbers so claims can be verified 8:19 - The cover page and executive orientation that never change Timestamps are approximate and should be checked against the audio before publishing.

You just binged and you feel awful.So you do what most people do. You frantically google "how to recover from a binge" and get told to drink some water and move on.It never feels like enough. So the next day you try to eat a little less, and before you know it you're bingeing again that same night.You wish you just had a step by step plan that actually worked. That's exactly what this episode gives you.Today you'll learn the common mistakes most people make after they binge, plus the 4 steps to recover from a binge.

Success leaves clues. When I'm looking for vacant land markets, I don't try to guess where the next hot area will be. I follow the money and look for where people are already buying land.I start broad and quickly narrow things down from the country to the state, county, and eventually the specific zip codes where deals are happening. Using tools like LandWatch, Redfin, Zillow, ChatGPT, and the Land Portal, I can see where properties are selling, what acreage buyers want, and what they're willing to pay.Think of it like fishing with a depth finder. I don't want to throw my line into empty water and hope something bites. I want to see where the fish already are. Once I find those pockets of demand, I can build a targeted seller list, make intelligent offers, and focus my marketing where I have a much better chance of doing deals.What's Inside: —How I narrow my search from states to counties to hot zip codes—Using recent sales activity to see where buyers are spending money—How I use AI to quickly analyze land sales and pricing data—Why targeted seller lists beat spray-and-pray marketing

The rhythm of peace isn't found in carrying more.Anxiety has a way of convincing us that if we don't hold everything together, everything will fall apart. But God never asked us to carry what He has already promised to carry Himself.In this episode, Angie concludes the Cast Your Cares study and the Talk to Your Triggers series by exploring Isaiah 46:4. This conversation reminds us that peace isn't achieved by trying harder, but instead is found by repeatedly returning our fears, worries, and burdens to the faithful God who sustains, carries, and rescues His people.What you'll hear in this week's episodeWhat it means that God promises to "carry" His peopleThe powerful contrast between the idols we carry and the God who carries usWhy anxiety requires us to repeat the rhythm of trust again and againA personal story about overloaded arms and the burdens we were never meant to holdThe encouragement that God faithfully sustains, strengthens, and rescues us throughout every season of lifeResourcesBible Study SessionsA four-week guided experience designed to help women study the Bible with more confidence and less overwhelm using the Step By Step method.Learn more here: Learn a Simple and Repeatable Bible Study MethodStep By Step Starter KitA simple, guided resource to help you open Scripture with confidence and study one verse at a time alongside the podcast.Download it for free here: Step By Step Starter KitVerse of the Week"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you.

Property prices are falling in some areas, and if you're a first home buyer with a 5% deposit, it can be tempting to sit back and wait for prices to fall further.But how will you know when the market has actually reached the bottom? And what happens if the right property becomes available before then?In this episode, Veronica and Meighan unpack the reality of buying your first home in a falling property market. They explain why trying to time the market is more of a bet than a strategy, and why financial readiness, property quality and your ability to hold the property long term matter more than predicting what prices will do next.They also take a closer look at the risks of buying with a 5% deposit, including negative equity, holding power, valuation risk and the dangers of buying off the plan in a slowing market. You'll also learn why established properties can provide stronger price anchors, how to use comparable sales to assess value, and why buffers and due diligence become even more important when markets are uncertain.If you're wondering whether you should buy now or wait for property prices to fall further, this episode will help you think through the decision with more clarity and less noise.Episode Highlights01:35 – Can You Actually Pick the Bottom of the Market?06:06 – What a 5% Deposit Really Means in a Falling Market08:15 – The Hidden Risk of Buying Off-The-Plan11:38 – A Smarter Way to Buy in a Falling Market17:10 – How to Make Confident Decisions in Uncertain Markets19:28 – The Question to Ask Before You Decide to Buy22:17 – Join the First Home Buyer CommunityCourse Details:THE First Home Buyer Course is our Step-By-Step, No BS Guide to Every Stage of The Home Buying Process – It's the next best thing to having your own buyer's agent.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Michael Woodward. Interview Overview Guest: Michael WoodwardHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassFocus: Entrepreneurship, real estate, education, overcoming poverty, and building generational wealthCompany Featured: Woodward Property Group Michael Woodward shares his journey from growing up in low‑income neighborhoods in Miami to becoming a successful real estate investor, contractor, and property management entrepreneur based in Atlanta. The conversation blends personal history, mindset lessons, and practical business guidance, especially for listeners from underserved communities. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Demystify success for everyday people by showing how discipline, education, and calculated risk can lead to financial freedom Inspire listeners to move beyond circumstances of poverty or limitation Teach practical strategies around education choices, real estate investing, side hustles, credit management, and seizing opportunity Highlight community impact, mentorship, and “reaching back” to help others Rushion McDonald consistently frames the discussion around helping the audience “stop reading other people’s success stories and start planning your own." Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Poverty Is Relative — and Often Invisible Woodward explains that many people grow up in poverty without realizing it because everyone around them shares the same conditions. He distinguishes between government definitions of poverty and lived experience. Takeaway: Awareness is the first step to change; normal does not always mean acceptable. 2. Early Business Lessons Came from the Community Woodward credits his grandmother—who ran an informal candy business in the housing projects—as his first exposure to entrepreneurship. Watching her manage inventory, customers, and cash taught him foundational business principles. Takeaway: Entrepreneurship often begins long before formal education—especially in underserved communities. 3. Education as a Strategic Tool, Not Just a Degree Initially planning to become a lawyer, Woodward changed direction after realizing law school would not provide the financial or social return he hoped for unless he reached elite status. A mentor guided him toward education as a pathway for impact. He strongly recommends the Occupational Outlook Handbook as a practical guide for choosing careers based on income, longevity, and demand. Takeaway: Choose education intentionally—based on outcomes, not prestige. 4. Service Before Profit: Two Decades in Education Woodward spent over 20 years as a teacher and assistant principal, mentoring students, organizing college tours, and running summer STEM programs—often during his breaks. Takeaway: Long‑term service builds perspective, discipline, and purpose that later pays dividends in business. 5. Turning a Side Hustle into Financial Freedom While working in education, Woodward renovated homes at night and on weekends. Over time, rental income exceeded his school salary, allowing him to retire from education and focus on real estate full‑time. Takeaway: Side hustles can become exit strategies when managed consistently and patiently. 6. Opportunity Comes from Relationships A chance relationship with a Lowe’s executive changed Woodward’s business trajectory. When asked if he could do high‑end kitchens, he said yes—then partnered with the right experts to deliver. This led to contracts in seven Lowe’s stores across metro Atlanta. Takeaway: You don’t have to know everything—just know who to call. 7. High‑End Thinking Changes Income Ceilings Woodward explains the difference between standard and high‑end construction, describing six‑figure kitchens and appliances that cost more than many homes. Takeaway: Understanding premium markets unlocks entirely different financial opportunities. 8. Two Core Business Rules: Persistence and Credit When asked what advice he gives most often, Woodward gives two principles: Never give up Protect your credit He shares how poor credit once forced him to reinvest profits just to buy tools, slowing growth. Managing credit later removed those barriers. Takeaway: Credit is leverage. Without it, growth is harder and more expensive. Notable Quotes On poverty: “A lot of people living in poverty don’t know that they’re impoverished because everybody around them looks just like them.” On education choices: “I wanted to make a difference… and education allowed me to do that.” On opportunity and courage: “You don’t have to know everything. Just get the people in your corner that do.” On advice to entrepreneurs: “Never give up. And protect your credit. Credit is everything.” On consistency: “My phone number has been the same for 23 years. I ain’t going nowhere. Overall Impact The interview positions Michael Woodward as a practical role model—someone who combines humility, preparation, faith, and execution. Rather than promoting quick wins, the conversation emphasizes long‑term discipline, community uplift, and strategic decision‑making. Core message: Sustainable success is built step‑by‑step—through education, relationships, credit discipline, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley, an ecommerce entrepreneur with over $20 million in annual revenue, delivers a comprehensive guide to building a true brand. He argues that most ecommerce sellers operate transactional "product acquisition machines" rather than genuine brands. Josh presents a 16-step framework across three phases: defining your brand identity, expressing it consistently, and compounding trust over time. He emphasizes that real brands drive customer loyalty, premium pricing, and long-term competitive advantage—ultimately shifting entrepreneurs from chasing short-term sales metrics toward building sustainable, generational business value.Bullet Points:Importance of branding for ecommerce businessesDifferences between building a brand and running a product acquisition or arbitrage businessChallenges faced by ecommerce sellers, such as increasing conversion rates and reducing customer acquisition costsThe misconception that having a trademark or storefront equates to having a brandCharacteristics of a true brand versus a product acquisition machineA comprehensive 16-step framework for building a brandPhases of brand development: defining, expressing, and compounding the brandStrategies for creating a recognizable brand identity and customer experienceThe significance of customer journey mapping and brand loyaltyMetrics and practices for sustaining brand equity and protecting brand integrityTimestamps:00:00:00 The Power of BrandingThe host lists eight benefits of strong branding, such as higher conversion rates, repeat purchases, and lower acquisition costs.00:01:01 What is Branding?The host introduces the topic of branding and a 16-step framework for building a brand for your e-commerce business.00:02:11 Custom GPT and ResourcesThe host mentions a custom GPT and slides available to help listeners implement the 16-step framework discussed in the episode.00:03:11 Host IntroductionJosh Hadley introduces himself, his e-commerce experience, and his podcast, E-com Breakthrough, for e-commerce entrepreneurs.00:04:12 Brand vs. Product Acquisition MachineThe host differentiates between building a true brand and simply operating a product acquisition or arbitrage business, common on Amazon.00:07:06 What a Brand IsA brand builds trust, optimizes for customer retention, focuses on long-term growth, and is difficult for competitors to copy.00:10:53 How Brands CompoundThe host explains how brands create a compounding effect through customer trust, repeat purchases, word-of-mouth, and easier product launches.00:12:43 The 16-Step Brand Framework IntroductionAn overview of the three phases of the branding framework: defining the brand, expressing it, and compounding its value.00:13:43 Step 1: Choose Your Primary CustomerA strong brand serves a niche customer. Defining this avatar makes all other branding decisions much easier.00:17:40 Step 2: Choose the Outcome You OwnCustomers buy products to achieve an aspirational identity. Brands must own the outcome their product provides, not just the product.00:23:48 Step 3: Choose Your AssociationsA brand is built by repeatedly connecting your company to a small number of desirable ideas, words, or phrases.00:26:54 Step 4: Write the Brand PromiseCombine your customer, outcome, and approach into a clear internal statement that serves as a decision-making tool for your business.00:28:02 Step 5: Define What the Brand Is NotBrands become clearer through exclusion. Deciding what your brand refuses to be is as important as defining what it is.00:30:06 Step 6: Choose Your Hero ProductYour hero product is the clear entry point that teaches customers what your company means and establishes your brand's identity.00:33:05 Step 7: Make the Product RemarkableThe product experience earns the second purchase. A remarkable product builds durable trust and generates powerful word-of-mouth marketing.00:34:25 Step 8: Create a Recognizable Brand IdentityDefine your brand's personality through one of three models: founder-led, a brand character, or a design-led identity.00:39:34 Step 9: Build a Distinctive Visual and Verbal WorldDesign makes your brand's meaning easier to recognize. Your brand should be identifiable even without its logo.00:40:26 Step 10: Audit the Current Customer ExperienceEvery customer encounter either reinforces or contradicts your brand promise. Audit all touchpoints, from packaging to social media.00:47:34 Step 11: Reinforce Through Trusted AssociationsBorrow trust by deliberately pairing your brand with people, organizations, or communities that already represent your brand's core values.01:02:29 Step 12: Repeat the Same Meaning ConsistentlyBrands are built through consistent repetition. While campaigns can change, the core meaning and message must remain recognizable over time.01:05:36 Step 13: Build the Next Purchase into the BrandMap the customer journey to create a logical product ecosystem that guides customers from one purchase to the next.01:08:23 Step 14: Align Every Customer TouchpointThe brand is the total experience. Ensure every interaction, from advertising to customer support, reinforces your brand promise without contradiction.01:13:36 Step 15: Run a Monthly Brand ReviewConduct a monthly review to prevent brand drift, track key metrics, and ensure all activities align with your brand strategy.01:21:16 Step 16: Protect and Compound the MeaningBrand building is ongoing. Use a brand extension test before launching new products to ensure they reinforce your core meaning.01:24:41 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionThe host summarizes the framework, offers a custom GPT and slides, and asks listeners to share and review the podcast.Links and Mentions:Tools and Resources  "Custom GPT for Brand Building": "00:02:11"  "Ecomm Breakthrough YouTube Channel": "00:09:58"  Notable Concepts and Frameworks  "16-Step Framework for Branding": "00:12:43"  Brands and Examples Mentioned  "Boom Beauty": "00:14:45"  "AG1": "00:15:46"  "Liquid Death": "00:16:39"  "Patagonia": "00:22:41"  "Rolex": "00:22:41"  "Apple": "00:22:41"  Videos and Content  "

He distinguishes between government definitions of poverty and lived experience. Takeaway: Awareness is the first step to change; normal does not always mean acceptable. 2. Early Business Lessons Came from the Community Woodward credits his grandmother—who ran an informal candy business in the housing projects—as his first exposure to entrepreneurship. Watching her manage inventory, customers, and cash taught him foundational business principles. Takeaway: Entrepreneurship often begins long before formal education—especially in underserved communities. 3. Education as a Strategic Tool, Not Just a Degree Initially planning to become a lawyer, Woodward changed direction after realizing law school would not provide the financial or social return he hoped for unless he reached elite status. A mentor guided him toward education as a pathway for impact. He strongly recommends the Occupational Outlook Handbook as a practical guide for choosing careers based on income, longevity, and demand. Takeaway: Choose education intentionally—based on outcomes, not prestige. 4. Service Before Profit: Two Decades in Education Woodward spent over 20 years as a teacher and assistant principal, mentoring students, organizing college tours, and running summer STEM programs—often during his breaks. Takeaway: Long‑term service builds perspective, discipline, and purpose that later pays dividends in business. 5. Turning a Side Hustle into Financial Freedom While working in education, Woodward renovated homes at night and on weekends. Over time, rental income exceeded his school salary, allowing him to retire from education and focus on real estate full‑time. Takeaway: Side hustles can become exit strategies when managed consistently and patiently. 6. Opportunity Comes from Relationships A chance relationship with a Lowe’s executive changed Woodward’s business trajectory. When asked if he could do high‑end kitchens, he said yes—then partnered with the right experts to deliver. This led to contracts in seven Lowe’s stores across metro Atlanta. Takeaway: You don’t have to know everything—just know who to call. 7. High‑End Thinking Changes Income Ceilings Woodward explains the difference between standard and high‑end construction, describing six‑figure kitchens and appliances that cost more than many homes. Takeaway: Understanding premium markets unlocks entirely different financial opportunities. 8. Two Core Business Rules: Persistence and Credit When asked what advice he gives most often, Woodward gives two principles: Never give up Protect your credit He shares how poor credit once forced him to reinvest profits just to buy tools, slowing growth. Managing credit later removed those barriers. Takeaway: Credit is leverage. Without it, growth is harder and more expensive. Notable Quotes On poverty: “A lot of people living in poverty don’t know that they’re impoverished because everybody around them looks just like them.” On education choices: “I wanted to make a difference… and education allowed me to do that.” On opportunity and courage: “You don’t have to know everything. Just get the people in your corner that do.” On advice to entrepreneurs: “Never give up. And protect your credit. Credit is everything.” On consistency: “My phone number has been the same for 23 years. I ain’t going nowhere. Overall Impact The interview positions Michael Woodward as a practical role model—someone who combines humility, preparation, faith, and execution. Rather than promoting quick wins, the conversation emphasizes long‑term discipline, community uplift, and strategic decision‑making. Core message: Sustainable success is built step‑by‑step—through education, relationships, credit discipline, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

Peace is something we receive from Christ, not something we manufacture.When anxiety rises, our instinct is often to work harder, worry more, or search for a way to regain control. But Jesus reminds us that peace is not found in our circumstances; it's found in His presence.In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study and the Talk to Your Triggers framework by stepping into John 14:27 and the fourth "R": Receive. This conversation reminds us that even when our hearts are troubled, Jesus offers a peace the world cannot give.What you'll hear in this week's episodeWhat it means to have a troubled heart and why Jesus speaks directly to itHow anxiety stirs and unsettles our minds like water being shakenA powerful illustration of receiving a gift we don't feel worthy ofWhy Jesus offers peace instead of promising easier circumstancesHow running to Christ brings calm and stability when fear begins to riseResourcesBible Study SessionsA four-week guided experience designed to help women study the Bible with more clarity, confidence, and consistency using the Step By Step method.Learn more here: https://livesteadyon.com/bible-study-sessions/Step By Step Starter KitA simple, guided resource to help you open Scripture with confidence and study one verse at a time alongside the podcast.Download it for free here: https://steadyon.myflodesk.com/stepbystepVerse of the Week"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.

You can make smart plans and still feel lost when the pressure hits. If you have been asking God for direction about your career, your family, or what you are supposed to do next, this message brings you back to a steady, biblical way to hear and follow God's guidance.We talk about receiving a vision from God that keeps Jesus Christ at the center, then expands into every major area of life: your spiritual life, your vocational life, your family life, and even your social and recreation life. Tony shares a personal timeline of vision and fulfillment starting in 1998, showing how God leads step by step over years, not just in one big moment. The anchor Scripture is John 16:13, where Jesus calls the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Truth who guides us into all truth and reveals what is to come, which connects discernment, wisdom, and long-term direction.From there, we break guidance down into three practical responses: faith, trust, and obedience. Faith keeps you seeking God even when the vision feels impossible. Trust looks like Proverbs 3:5-6 in real life, acknowledging God in all your ways instead of leaning on your own understanding. Obedience turns that inner prompting into action, whether God is telling you to move, to wait, or to take one small step at the right time.If you need clarity for your next decision, listen closely, write the vision down, and make room for the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit. Subscribe for more biblical leadership and life guidance, share this with a friend who needs direction, and leave a review with the area where you are asking God to lead you next.Send Tony a Texthttps://www.seldicompany.com/

Nate Cardin's 8th NYTimes crossword was a quintessential Monday puzzle. For one thing, it didn't have QUINTESSENTIAL in the grid. This is not particularly surprising, though, because even though QUINTESSENTIAL is a common enough word, and shows up in, among other places, the XWord Info Word List, it has never appeared in the grid! Still, there's always tomorrow ...Apart from the missing QUINTESSENTIAL, today's puzzle was quite enjoyable, as we explore and expound upon in today's podcast.We have also chosen our JAMCOTWA™️ (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award), so have a listen, and then let us know your thoughts!Show note imagery: The 1990s sitcom STEPBYSTEP, with a rather large cast of characters, evidentlyWe love feedback!

Send us Fan MailMy client Nickie joined the Case Report Writing Workshop because she knew she needed to write a case report for her oncology specialization application — and she wanted real guidance and feedback to get through it. She wrote it, submitted it, got accepted with zero required edits, and passed her exam. AND THEN a peer-reviewed journal, Oncology Rehab and Practice, accepted her case report for publication!In this episode, Nickie joins me to walk through her process from start to finish, in her own words — including where she started (spoiler: "I don't think I want to do this"), the mistake she almost made with her introduction, what the ABPTS application portal actually looks like, and the formatting habit that made all the difference.We cover:Why Nickie, who doesn't consider herself a writer, almost didn't want to start this process at allThe common mistake of starting with your introduction, and why it should actually come near the endWhat candidates aren't told about the ABPTS application portal — and how that changes how you should outline your case reportThe specific formatting habits that got her accepted in 3 days with zero required editsWhy multiple readers, including people outside of oncology, made her final draft strongerWhat it took to adapt her case report for journal submission after her ABPTS acceptanceThis isn't a promise that everyone who goes through the workshop gets published — that's not the standard, and it's an exciting first for us.

Remembering God's faithfulness changes how we walk through fear.When anxiety shows up, it often isn't because we don't know what's true. It's because we've forgotten what we already know about God's character.In this episode, Angie continues the Cast Your Cares study by stepping into Psalm 36:5 and the third step of the Talk to Your Triggers framework: Remember. This conversation reminds us that peace often begins when we intentionally remember the faithfulness, love, and reliability of God in the middle of uncertainty.What you'll hear in this week's episodeWhat biblical faithfulness means and why it matters when anxiety risesHow fear causes us to forget what we already know about God's characterWhy God's faithfulness is best understood as consistency under pressureA simple illustration of trusting God to carry the weight we were never meant to bearThe reminder that God's love and faithfulness are constant, even when circumstances feel uncertainResourcesBible Study SessionsA four-week guided experience designed to help women study the Bible with more clarity, confidence, and consistency using the Step By Step method.Learn more here: Learn a Simple and Repeatable Bible Study MethodStep By Step Starter KitA simple, guided resource to help you open Scripture with confidence and study one verse at a time alongside the podcast.Download it for free here: Step By Step Starter KitVerse of the Week"Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies."Psalm 36:5 (NIV)Connect with Angie & Steady Onhttps://www.livesteadyon.comTheme Music: Glimmer by Andy Ellison

Most people think early retirement takes luck.Or some miracle idea.It doesn't. It's just math.In this video, I break down the exact five step process I used to retire by 23.The same one almost nobody actually follows, even once they see it.Step one is picking your number.The amount hitting your bank account every year, with zero hours worked, that would actually make you feel free.Step two turns that number into a real net worth target.Using a rule most people get wrong the moment they try to retire decades early.Step three is plugging the two leaks that quietly drain almost everyone's wealth.One is tax. The other is your ego.Step four is fixing your earning potential.Because a normal job, even a great one, mathematically cannot get you there fast enough.I'll show you the exact formula instead.The same one that turned cold calls to small town gyms into millions a year.Before I even turned 24.Step five is where that money actually goes once you have it.And why some "safe" choices quietly cost people years of their life.If you've ever wondered whether retiring early is actually realistic.This is the real math behind it and the mistakes keeping most people from ever getting there.Watch the full breakdown here: https://youtu.be/QlWlT6eT_1M

In this episode of the Small Axe Podcast, we're diving into one of the most important skills every multifamily investor needs to master: underwriting. Whether you're analyzing your first apartment deal or your hundredth, underwriting is the foundation of making smart investment decisions. But here's the catch—it's both incredibly important and inherently imperfect. A pro forma is only a projection, so the goal isn't perfection. The goal is making the best decisions possible with the information you have. In this episode, I walk you through my underwriting process from start to finish, including: How to create a buy box that saves you time What to look for in a rent roll, T-12, and offering memorandum How I build a realistic pro forma Why taxes and insurance can make or break a deal How financing impacts your underwriting Where to find reliable market data and expense benchmarks Why conservative exit assumptions matter When it's time to make an offer—and when it's time to move on If you want to become a better multifamily investor, this episode will help you analyze deals with more confidence and avoid some of the costly mistakes that trip up new investors.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Kate Marshall, author of AI at Work: A Step-By-Step Foundational Guide for Implementing AI (2026 Edition), to unpack why so many smart, capable professionals feel paralyzed by artificial intelligence. Rather than offering another piece of tech hype, Kate reveals how her 18-year background in cybersecurity and AI governance exposed the real culprit behind failed workplace adoption: bad data habits, messy systems, and fear of the unknown. Discover why moving away from generic prompt libraries, training models on your actual workflow, and conducting an honest "Trust, Check, Reject" audit can eliminate machine noise and give you back your time—without losing the human magic that makes your work unique.

This is how to analyze a rental property step-by-step in 2026. You don't need to do any complicated math, you don't need to sign up for a course, and you don't need to have previous rental property experience. I've tweaked this process over the past fifteen years of investing to ensure it gets me the best returns possible while being so conservative that it's hard to get it wrong. Today, I'm showing you exactly how to do rental property analysis like a pro, even if this is your first investment property. I took a real property from Zillow to analyze in this episode, using real rent and expense estimates, not made-up numbers to make the cash flow look good. I'll walk through which numbers are crucial to get right, which you can adjust to see if the deal would work in different scenarios, and how to get the seller (instead of you) to pay for some of your costs or lower the price. Every tool I use in this episode is listed below, so use them! In This Episode We Cover How to analyze a rental property, step-by-step in 2026 (with an actual property example) Why you must read the full listing description to find what most investors miss  Calculating after-repair value (ARV) to see how much your property could be worth  The three different ways to estimate rent price (and which is most accurate?) The returns I need to see to move forward on a real estate deal (which metrics matter most) And So Much More!

Ready to implement what you're learning? The Sold Before the Call podcast teaches the mindset. The Selling Sprint teaches the system. Join the interest list to be first in line when I announce everything coming soon… Join the interest list here: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist     Your content shouldn't just get attention. It should build trust before you ever make an offer.   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sharing one of my favorite storytelling frameworks for creating content that does more than get likes—it helps strangers feel seen, builds trust, and naturally moves them closer to becoming clients.   If you've been following the Sold Before the Call series, you already know that the sale shouldn't happen on the discovery call. It happens through everything you build beforehand.   Today, I'm showing you exactly how to do that through your content.   I'm walking you through my SHIFT Formula—the storytelling framework I teach my clients to create captions that connect on a deeper level, position them as the obvious choice, and become part of a strong pre-selling ecosystem. We'll break down each step of the formula, why storytelling is such a powerful sales skill, and how to stop creating content that simply educates and start creating content that actually converts.   I'll also share real client examples of how this framework has helped women grow their audiences, build trust, and create more conversations that lead to clients.   If you've been wondering why your content gets engagement but isn't turning strangers into buyers, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Listen to Part 1: How To Stop Thinking Like A Coach + Start Thinking Like A Sales Rep: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/485-how-to-stop-thinking-like-a-coach-start/id1577282350?i=1000776729190 Listen to Part 2: Why Your Sales Call Isn't Where You Sell: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/486-why-your-sales-call-isnt-where-you-sell-sold-before/id1577282350?i=1000777684328   What I Discuss: 01:28 A recap of the Sold Before the Call series and why this framework matters 03:10 Why building a courtship is more effective than trying to "close" people 07:11 How storytelling creates trust before someone ever reaches your DMs 10:08 An overview of my SHIFT storytelling formula 10:54 How to set the scene so your ideal client immediately feels seen 13:28 Why highlighting the real challenge creates connection 14:57 The insight or "aha" moment that changes everything 17:22 How to show the follow-through that makes your story believable 18:09 Why transformation is the part that inspires people to take action 20:02 How this framework fits into my full pre-selling system, plus real client results 25:48 Your homework to start using the SHIFT Formula today—and what's coming in Part 4 of the series   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com

This episode explains how to fix your cash flow, lower fixed expenses, eliminate debt, and build a one-paycheck buffer.Living paycheck to paycheck is not always caused by overspending.

Drawdowns are part of the game. The question isn't whether they'll happen... it's what you'll do when they do.This conversation gets into the reality of professional trading. Why even traders who make hundreds of percent in a year still struggle emotionally through drawdowns. Why chasing losses almost always makes things worse. And why the traders who survive aren't the ones who never lose... they're the ones who know exactly how much they're willing to lose before they ever enter a trade.There's a powerful lesson throughout this episode that goes far beyond the charts. Great trading isn't about predicting every move. It's about controlling your emotions, sticking to your rules, reducing risk whenever possible, and trusting a system even when results aren't going your way. The market doesn't owe anyone a win... but discipline gives you a chance to still be standing when the big winners finally arrive.There's also a full portfolio walkthrough covering real trades, Apple option rolls, GameStop, Roblox, Robinhood, Coca-Cola, and Box, plus a deep discussion on position sizing, risk management, trading psychology, and lessons from professional trader Lance Breitstein on handling drawdowns without letting emotions take over.✅ How professional traders handle drawdowns without panicking✅ Trading psychology, emotional discipline, and risk management✅ Apple option rolling strategy and reducing portfolio risk✅ Real trade management with GameStop, Roblox, Robinhood, Box, and more✅ Building a trading plan that survives losing streaksIf you've ever questioned your strategy after a losing streak... or wondered why trading feels more psychological than technical... this episode will probably change the way you think about the markets.Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7DfwJTC_Ow&t=14sSubscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

In this episode the guys break down the best workout strategy for people who want to lose weight and keep it off — and why most people are going about it completely backwards. They cover why strength training beats cardio for fat loss head to head, how to structure your training as a full body split or 1–2 lifts per day, why compound movements are the only ones that matter at this stage, hitting 8,000 steps through lifestyle rather than scheduled cardio, and simple diet steps that create a natural calorie deficit without counting calories.
