AUDIO EXCLUSIVE [this interview took place June 13, 2025]Back in 2024, the Los Angeles City Council passed a “sanctuary city” ordinance and said the city would not collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. “They are lying,” says Hamid Khan, an expert on the surveillance state and organizer with the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition. In this timely interview, Khan unpacks “fusion centers” where agencies like DHS, the FBI and local law enforcement work together to gather and share data on citizens — regardless of their criminal record. Long before Trump's crackdown on immigration rights and the protests in Los Angeles, LAPD would have ICE in their headquarters, he shares. Join Khan and Flanders as they discuss shocking truths about police spying and surveillance, and why we must become aware and take action.Guest: Hamid Khan: Organizer, Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, Board of Directors, Los Angeles Community Action Network (LA CAN) RESOURCES:Related Episodes:• Hamid Khan: The Surveillance-Industrial Complex WATCH• What's A Sanctuary with Jails? - Hamid Khan and Jennicet Gutiérrez (Community Organizer Familia Trans Queer Liberation Movement) WATCHRelated Articles:• ‘This isn't an isolated incident': Trump's show of military force in LA was years in the making, by Rachel Leingang and Lauren Gambino, June 11, 2025, The Guardian• Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great' by Andrew Gumbel, June 12, 2025, The Guardian• Trump can keep California National Guard deployed for now, appeals court says, by Caroline O'Donovan, Karin Brulliard, Mark German and Kelsey Ables, June 14, 2025, The Washington Post• Appeals court questions judges' ability to review Trump's Los Angeles group deployment, by Dietrich Knauth and Daniel Wiessner, June 17, 2025, Reuters• Immigration raids in Los Angeles hit small business owners: ‘It's worse than COVID', by Tim Reid and Kristina Cooke, June 17, 2025, Reuters Laura Flanders and Friends Crew: Laura Flanders, along with Sabrina Artel, Jeremiah Cothren, Veronica Delgado, Janet Hernandez, Jeannie Hopper, Gina Kim, Sarah Miller, Nat Needham, David Neuman, and Rory O'Conner.

L is for Ligtnin' (and) Licks. Ladies Love Loud Losers, listen...In the early 1970s, legendary collaborator and self-proclaimed non-musician Brian Eno famously designed a deck of 115 cards containing elliptical imperatives to spark in the user creative connections unobtainable through regular modes of work. He called his creation "Oblique Strategies." For the past six decades, artists the world over in every artistic medium have used Eno's strategy while attempting to overcome a lull in creative output. In 2025, lazy, lackluster yet somehow still award-winning* hobby podcasters and self-proclaimed Lightnin' Lickers Jay and Deon found themselves uninspired when contemplating the potential theme of their upcoming forty-third episode. Together, they decided... to default back to the alphabet. Because they have a reasonably solid grasp of the alphabet and how it works. They had previously utilized the letters A thru K, so naturally, they went with L.Sonic contributors featured in Lightnin' Licks Radio's forty-third episode include: Beastie Boys, National Public Radio, James Todd Smith, Ol' Burger Beats, Prince Paul, De La Soul, Gravediggaz, Method Man, John Ussery.

Our guest: Tim Reid, Business Development Director for Phamatech Labs' U-VERIFY™ In this episode, we delve into the world of forensic toxicology testing with Tim Reid, Business Development Director for Phamatech Labs' U-VERIFY™ drug testing service. Phamatech Labs is a SAMHSA and College of American Pathologists (CAP) forensically accredited laboratory specializing in forensic toxicology testing services and rapid testing devices. Tim explains the innovative DNA verification process in urine drug testing, detailing how it works and how DNA samples are obtained for verification. The conversation moves on to Phamatech's improved turnaround times for test results, comparing their unique approach to standard lab practices. Tim provides valuable education on lab testing procedures, explaining the difference between presumptive and confirmatory tests. He discusses why Phamatech goes straight to confirmatory testing for individuals in recovery programs and those suspected of drug diversion, highlighting the benefits of this approach. A portion of the conversation focuses on panel selection for drug testing, particularly addressing why fentanyl is not included in basic panels despite its prevalence. Tim offers insights into the reasons behind this omission and discusses the importance of selecting appropriate panels for specific testing needs. The episode concludes with Tim's recommendations for facilities looking to implement drug testing for pre-employment screening and suspected diversion cases, providing guidance on tailoring testing approaches to different scenarios. This informative discussion sheds light on the complexities of drug testing and the innovative solutions Phamatech Labs offers to enhance accuracy and efficiency in the field of forensic toxicology.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Martin Anderson, founder of Ionata Digital, discusses his journey growing a digital services company with over $2 million in annual revenue. He shares his strategies for work-life balance, the importance of cash flow, and how focusing beyond Tasmania allowed his business to thrive. Martin also emphasizes the value of professional development, including his experience as president of Tas ICT. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Martin Anderson believes the hardest thing in growing a small business is managing cash flow. He emphasizes the importance of putting money aside for tax liabilities and being prepared for the financial demands that arise, especially in the second year, when the tax department might request payments for both the past and the coming year. Without careful planning, cash flow issues can become a significant challenge for business survival. What's your favourite business book that has helped you the most? Martin Anderson's favorite business book is "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries. He appreciates its focus on testing ideas early, iterating, and learning from feedback. The book's concept of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) resonates with him, as it encourages starting small, listening to your audience, and making improvements based on their responses. This approach aligns well with the agile project management style Martin uses in his business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Martin Anderson recommends Tim Reid's podcast, "Small Business, Big Marketing," as a valuable resource for growing a small business. He finds it packed with great ideas and practical advice, especially for Australian entrepreneurs. Martin appreciates Tim's engaging speaking style and the useful insights provided on marketing strategies for small businesses. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Martin Anderson recommends Xero as an essential tool for growing a small business. He praises it for simplifying financial management and believes that having a solid handle on finances is crucial for success. While he enjoys managing the business finances himself, his mentor suggests delegating this task to focus more on strategic growth. Nonetheless, Martin considers Xero a fantastic product, especially for startups. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If Martin Anderson could give advice to himself on day one of starting out in business, he would say: "Focus beyond Tasmania from the start." He emphasizes thinking nationally or globally, rather than being geographically limited. Martin believes that by targeting larger markets from the outset, entrepreneurs can tap into a much bigger audience and accelerate their business growth.

8 more 70's movie reviews in the can. Starting things off today with (Billy Jack 1971). This is a sequel to a 1967 film called Born Losers, and it is just out of our reach for us. Here is a movie written by the 2 stars in the film and directed by BJ himself. Seems like a real labor of love, and it's pretty great and we'll tell ya'll about it very shortly, or we already are and your reading while your listening, how can you do that? Before we move on BJ is a film about a safe haven and school for outcasts and people of color, where close minded murderous Hicks are just outside the border, waiting to be racist and horrible to the max, I do hope someone has amazing fighting skills hmmm. One more thing, Howard Hesseman……..Johnny Flippin Fever from WKRP is HERE in this film, however, we suck and said it was Venus Flytrap, sorry bout that icky rookie mistake, Venus was played by the amazing Tim Reid and he is not in this film. Moving on to (Duck, you sucker 1971) Here we have the awful man who will soon have no friends from Happy birthday Wanda June (Rod Steiger), and the gross reporter guy from Goldengirl, (James Coburn), starring in this film about how to become heroes in the Mexican revolution. Hmmmmmm, your gonna need an explosives expert. Next up is (The Outside Man 1972) which stars a focused French guy, the guy that wants the beaches closed and doesn't care about yer concession sales, the amazing Ann flippin Margaret, and Angie (dressed to kill) Dickinson. Here is a movie with the idea of action, with out a lot of it, 70's style. You get to see massive amounts of driving round L.A. You can see the old Venice amusement pier, some of the weird street characters, and one thing we wanted to mention but spaced it, was the appearance of public electric shaver in a bathroom, which seems unsanitary, hey, I gots time let's look it up….Time has passed, and the internet has failed me, or perhaps my use of it has failed. (Badge 373 1973) Verna Bloom, star of a western we all liked, The Hired Hand, is here with Robert Duvall, Henry Darrow, and Radical 60's n 70's activist and Young Lord Felipe Luciano. Here we have some competing actors and the inspirational Felipe, kinda stuck in some budget cop movie, based on the guy whose budget cop stories also inspired the French connection character of Popeye D. Onward we strut to the light and uplifting Ingmar Bergman classic (Scenes from a Marriage 1974), almost too heavy to get into, but I don't really have to, I'll just skim that surface for you and move on. You've got amazing acting, directing, and cinematography, a good script etc. I wonder what could ever go wrong with a film focused on and icky relationship, through the years. He is horrid to the max, and it is worthwhile to examine relationships and the social norms and conditioning that live inside them. Gosh it was just difficult for your beloved D.U.I. crew to get through. Come with us now to 1975 with (Rancho Deluxe). Rancho Deluxe, is the Slim Pickens holy grail that I didn't even know I was looking for. Now, you have other stuff goin on here, like Starman (Jeff Bridges) and the dad from Serial Mom (Sam Waterson) are trying to pay rent and piss off a bull baron guy, although Bridges is slumming it, so to speak. Also serial mom's dad's Dad is played by Joe Spinell and he steals the dang show for the scene he's in. Lot's of good talent here, but is it good, or great, listen to find out? Second to last today we review (Outlaw Josey Wales 1976) a puzzling film directed by Clint Eastwood starring Sondra Locke, and Chief mother flippin Dan George, that's it. Finally today we enjoy (Corevette Summer 1978) “It's not even his car, it belongs to the school, It's not even your car!!” This film has Mary Jo Shively from designing woman, and Luke Skywalker from Star Wars confronting the guy from Laser Blast to return the schools hot rod, back to the school.

I'm about to say one of the scariest (and I think) most exciting words in business. Are you ready? Creativity. You see, when you spend quality time thinking differently about your business, amazing things happen, the least of which is that you create a solid point-of-difference. But don't take my word for it … Let's hear from one of Sydney's leading new restaurateurs for whom creativity is his super power. It's a scary episode 619 of The (13 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast with Tim Reid.A little more about Sydney restaurateur Howin Chui … Firstly, a quick rant on creativity. Having spent the first half of my career in the Account Service department of large advertising agencies looking after big brands like Gillette, Yellow Pages & Dulux, I quickly learnt about the power of creative thinking. About the power a big idea can have on a business's growth and success. In fact, sitting at the top of every client invoice was a cost centre titled Concept Development. This was the amount the client paid for their Creative Team to sit around and come up with ideas in response to a brief. And despite working in agencies where there were entire floors dedicated to Creative folk - art directors, copywriters, graphic designers - I also learnt that every single one of us is creative. You don't need to be in the Arts to be creative. Whether you're an accountant, a builder, or you run an eCommerce store, you just need to find the time, regularly, to think differently about all aspects of your business. How you market it. How you employ. How you entertain. How you manage the finances. Make this part of how you do business, and you'll be in the successful minority of business owners who've cracked the creative code to standing out from the crowd, and creating a business people love to deal with. Entrepreneur Howin Chui is in this club. He's the quirky restaurateur behind Ni Hao Bar, Kowloon Cafe and Stir Fry King … very hip, very sought after Sydney-based eateries. As Howin says, ““The food world isn't just about the food quality; you need to create a feeling, a sensory experience .. you need to think differently. It's about your customers wanting to be a part of an experience they can talk about to friends and share online.” Now, Howin's slightly nervous at the start of our chat, but trust me when I say persevere, as he shares some absolute gold about his respect for creativity in business, and most importantly, how he does it. And just when you think he's nothing more to share, near the end he shares his next business venture, which is absolutely genius!

Are you keen to discover how to use chatbots in your business? Artificial intelligence has finally infiltrated its way into small business marketing in the form of chatbots; that annoying software that has you thinking you're chatting with a human … but you're not! Fortunately, chatbots have come a long way in the past 12-months, and today they can be used in a myriad of ways from increasing sales, to effectively servicing your customer base and at the end of the day, growing your business. It's a futuristic episode 618 of The (13 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast.Special Chatbot offer to all listeners Grab Amber's exclusive offer to all Small Business Big Marketing listeners A little more about chatbot expert Amberlea Henriques … Righto, it's time you and I got our heads around the whole Chatbot thing. You know those annoying interactions you have on websites and social media, where you think you're chatting with a human, but in fact you're conversing with a bit of AI software, that in my experience generally ends in tears. Usually, the last thing I type in to a chatbot (normally in capital letters) is “Get me a fucking human to speak to!!!” So as you can see, I'm going into this interview with a healthy amount of skepticism. Fortunately though, we're joined by one of Australia's leading Chatbot experts, Amber Henriques, who's also the founder of Perth-based marketing agency, AdSocial. Amber is a trailblazer when it comes to futuristic marketing technologies across the Meta suite (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp), with a focus on interactive marktech, namely Chatbots and artificial intelligence. We're also joined by two of her clients who share how they've successfully deployed chatbots inside their businesses. Like last week's episode, this is another one that's more a workshop than an interview as we get into the nitty gritty of how chatbots work, how they can be used to cut costs, streamline customer service, qualify leads, build lists and so much more. And be sure to hang around until the end as Amber makes a very generous offer that you'd be silly not to take up! Righto Chatbots … Here we come!

Keen to use email marketing to grow your business? Cool. On your website, offer visitors something of high perceived value to them, but at a low cost to you. In exchange for their email address, they get it for free. It might be an eBook. A video full of helpful tips. A one-off discount coupon. Over time you build an email list of prospects, that you then communicate with on a regular basis. The result? More loyal customers. More sales. And the lifetime value of those customers increases exponentially. Sounds good, huh?

If there was a more mature, funnier, well-informed small business marketing lover than me, then it's Jay Baer. The guy has an uncanny ability to turn even the most sceptical business owner into a marketing tragic. I've been stalking, I mean following Jay's work for over ten years, and every book (he's written six), every research study he's commissioned, every new concept he comes up with to help us small business owners grow, never fails to disappoint. It's an exciting episode 615 of The (13 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast with host Tim Reid. A little more about small business marketing expert Jay Baer … OK, so if I asked Jay Baer to introduce himself, here's what he'd say: “The world's most inspirational customer experience, customer service, and marketing keynote speaker. New York Times best-selling author of six books. A 7th-generation entrepreneur. The founder of five, multi-million dollar companies. Certified tequila sommelier. And, lover of all things plaid!” I agree with all of the above, plus here's my own two bobs worth. You see, Jay is a marketing hero of mine who I've been following for over ten years. He first appeared way back in episode 296 where he spoke about his then new book Hug Your Haters. What I really like about Jay is that he has an engaging way of identifying and uncovering the fun side of marketing that always produces results for those who action his teachings. Jay's second book Youtility is in my top 3 marketing books of all time. In terms of achievements, it's an impressive roll call. He's: One of less than 200 living members of the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame An inductee into the Word of Mouth Marketing Hall of Fame An advisor to more than 700 companies since 1994, including Caterpillar, Nike, The United Nations and 36 of the FORTUNE 500 I encourage you to get your journal out for this one, as we cover so much marketing gold it verges on embarrassing!

Tim Reid's life changed on a New Year's Eve in the 1960s when he lucked his way into a club to see a hot young comedian. That club was Mister Kelly's, that comedian was Richard Pryor and nothing has been the same for Tim since. Tim tells Marc about his segregated upbringing, how he and Tom Dressen created the first interracial comedy team, how he got out of comedy and into acting with roles like Venus Fly Trap on WKRP in Cincinnati, and why he's currently spending a lot of his time on historical preservation.
