Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
You work hard to curate, pack, and ship your subscription box each month. But when you check your bank account, the numbers don't add up. Sound familiar? If you've been wondering why you're selling more boxes but still struggling with cash flow or not paying yourself, it's time to get serious about your pricing. So many subscription box owners start out underpricing, and it's not always intentional. You want to be affordable. You don't want to scare people away. You tell yourself you'll raise prices later. Underpricing is costing you more than you think. When you forget about packaging, shipping materials, transaction fees, your time, and even damages or reships, your “$10 profit” can quickly become $6… or nothing at all. Month after month, that tight margin leaves you stressed, resentful, and unable to grow. Take Action: Audit your current price vs. your real total cost per box. Include everything: include tape, inserts, and your time. Most box owners price from the bottom up. They add up products, tack on shipping, and call it good. But that strategy sets you up to struggle. Instead, flip it around: start with your margin goals and build your box to fit. If you charge $50 per box, that means your total cost (products, packaging, shipping, fees, fulfillment) should be no more than $20-$27.50. Once you know your limit, you can source and curate accordingly. Take Action: Reverse-engineer your price. Decide your profit margin first, then set your product budget. Even if your pricing looks solid, hidden costs can eat away at your profits. Things like: Transaction fees (PayPal, Shopify, Stripe) Shipping materials (not just postage) Software and subscriptions (Klaviyo, Canva, Shopify) Labor, including YOURS Returns, damages, and inventory overages “Small” surprises and freebies These add up fast, especially as you grow. If you don't account for them, your margin disappears. Take Action: Do a hidden cost audit this week. Write down every recurring business expense and calculate what it costs you per box. Realizing your price isn't sustainable can feel scary. But raising prices doesn't mean failure, it means leadership. Be transparent with your subscribers about the reason for the increase. Give them 30–45 days' notice. Decide if you'll grandfather in current subscribers. Consider a tiered option if needed. Yes, you may lose a few subscribers. But the ones who stay will actually be profitable, and that's how you build a business that lasts. Profitable businesses don't just change your life. They make it possible for you to keep serving your subscribers for years to come. Take Action: Choose your new price based on margin goals, set an effective date, and start your communication plan. You didn't start your subscription box to break even. You started it to make an impact, create income, and build freedom. But that only happens if your pricing supports your profit. Download the free Box Budget Worksheet and run your numbers today. This tool makes it simple to plug in your costs, your price, and see exactly where you stand. In this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm walking you through the real cost of underpricing, how to set profit margin goals that actually work, and what to do if you need to raise your prices.

In this episode, Ari Paparo moderates a debate about the role of transaction IDs in the ad tech industry with Mike O'Sullivan, co-founder of Sincera and now part of The Trade Desk, and Chris Kane, founder of Jounce Media. The conversation covers the benefits and drawbacks of transaction IDs, publisher concerns about revenue and data privacy, and the influence of the Trade Desk. The episode also looks into the complexities of auction duplication and the need for transparency and standardization in digital advertising. In The Refresh, Ari and Eric Franchi discuss related topics, including CTV pause ads, AI payment models, and Amazon's decision to block AI bots from scraping data. Takeaways Transaction IDs help harmonize ad requests and improve auction processes. Publishers express concerns about potential revenue loss and data privacy. The Trade Desk's influence is a point of concern for many publishers. Request duplication presents a significant challenge in ad tech. Engaging with buyers is crucial for publishers to understand market needs. Recent pre-bid changes have limited publishers' strategic options. Cleaner auctions can benefit both buyers and sellers. Transparency is vital for fair competition in the ad market. Publishers should seek clarity on how their inventory is presented. Standardization is needed for better performance in the ad tech ecosystem.

Have you ever felt that if you can't get a certain kind of "love"—the kind that's based on looks, status, or performance—then you don't want it? In this powerful episode of Everything Saged, The Sage dives into the profound difference between true love and the imitation we've been taught to accept. We'll confront the difficult truth: that a shallow, counterfeit version of love has become so prevalent, it's blinding us to the real thing. Join us as we uncover why this isn't love at all, and how to begin the journey toward a deeper, more enduring connection.

Send us a textThe economic revolution we've been waiting for isn't just coming—it's already here. In this eye-opening conversation, Steve Clegg brings decades of financial expertise to explain how artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency are fundamentally restructuring global commerce by eliminating the layers of middlemen that have traditionally absorbed 20-30% of transaction value.Clegg's journey through international finance began in 1974 when, as a 24-year-old University of Chicago graduate, he wrote a paper identifying the three fundamental challenges of global commerce: exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate differences, and local pricing disparities. That paper caught the attention of Federal Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns, launching Clegg into a career managing foreign exchange for major corporations. Now, nearly five decades later, he's watching cryptocurrency solve those exact problems he identified as a young economist.What makes this discussion truly compelling is how it connects technological innovation to fundamental economic principles. "There's no such thing as one-hand clapping," Clegg explains. "It requires two people exchanging goods and services." This core transaction—buyer and seller—has remained constant throughout human history, but the systems built around it have grown increasingly complex and extractive. AI and blockchain technology are now enabling a "great inversion," where technology supports rather than exploits commerce.The implications extend far beyond finance. Manufacturing cycles have compressed from years to just seven months. Energy production is becoming decentralized through mini nuclear reactors. Local food production via hydroponics eliminates transportation costs that typically account for 50% of food prices. These advancements suggest a future where communities can become more self-sufficient economic entities.Whether you're a business owner concerned about staying competitive, an investor trying to understand market trends, or simply someone wondering how these changes will affect your career, this conversation provides valuable perspective on navigating the most significant economic transformation of our lifetimes. The question isn't whether these changes are coming—it's whether you're prepared to adapt.

Why does modern prayer need a serious rethink? In this engaging episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike Erie and Tim Stafford dive into the complex relationship between prayer, faith, and cultural challenges. From unpacking the transactional mindset often tied to prayer to exploring how the teachings of Jesus reframe this sacred practice, the conversation invites us to reimagine prayer as a transformative act of humility, gratitude, and community. The hosts discuss the role of the church in society, and how faith intersects with politics and justice in today's world. Drawing from both ancient Jewish practices and the Lord's Prayer, the episode challenges the prevalent individualistic approach to faith, calling listeners to deeper reflection on blessing God, acknowledging the gifts of life, and responding to societal issues with action. With their hallmark blend of critical thinking, curiosity, and humor, Mike and Tim offer a compelling perspective on navigating cultural tensions while staying rooted in the teachings of Jesus. We'd love for you to join the conversation! Feel free to share your thoughts or questions on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

In this message, Pastor Dorrell examines the principle of sacrifice from 1 Corinthians 9, explaining that for the gospel to advance, a "necessary transaction" must occur. Using the apostle Paul as the ultimate example of one who gave up everything to "gain" others for Christ, this sermon investigates the cost of missions. Pastor Dorrell challenges us to consider what personal comforts or resources we are willing to set aside so that people around the world might have the chance to hear the good news and be saved.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Charles Thompson from Marshallville, GA. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. Your faithfulness is helping many see Jesus as their greatest treasure. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 14:1-11: It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to arrest him by stealth and kill him, for they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar from the people.” And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that? For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they scolded her. But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.” Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray him. — Mark 14:1-11 This passage presents a stark contrast—two people standing on opposite sides of the same moment. Both are close to Jesus. Both witness His power. But one sees a treasure. The other sees a transaction. The woman walks in quietly. Breaks the jar. Pours out a year's wages in perfume on Jesus' head. No explanation. No hesitation. Just worship. And what does Jesus say? “She has done a beautiful thing to me.” She saw Jesus as worthy of everything. And then Judas walks out, looking for a price tag. Looking for a way to make Jesus useful, not worshipped. Looking to gain something, not give something. The woman gave everything to honor Jesus. Judas gave Jesus up for a handful of silver. Same setting. Same Savior. Two radically different responses. We all have to wrestle with this question: Do I truly treasure Jesus, or do I just transact with Him? Do I give Him what's costly, or do I manage my faith to keep things convenient? Do I bring Him my heart, or look for what He can do for me? Let's not be too quick to assume we're the woman. Sometimes, we come with motives that resemble Judas. We attend church, say the right words, maybe even give a little, but deep down, we're asking: What do I get out of this? And Jesus sees through it all. He always has. So ask yourself honestly: Do I see a Savior to love—or a Lord to leverage? #TreasureOrTransaction, #Mark14, #CostlyWorship ASK THIS: What did the woman's actions say about how she valued Jesus? Why did Judas's response to Jesus take such a dark turn? Are there ways you've treated Jesus more like a transaction than a treasure? What's one costly act of devotion you've been resisting? DO THIS: Write down what you're most tempted to pursue instead of Jesus. Lay it before Him today. Choose to treasure Him over everything else. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't want to treat you like a transaction. You're not a means to an end. You're the treasure. Help me worship like you're worth everything—because you are. Amen.

Casa CEO Nick Neuman argues Bitcoin needs self-custody adoption to survive long-term. Without transaction fees from edge users, mining could become unprofitable, risking network security and potentially forcing protocol changes.Nick Neuman, CEO & co-founder of Casa joins us to talk about why Bitcoin's future depends on self-custody adoption.

In this honest and heartfelt episode, Pastor Craig Stephens sits down with Worship Pastor Josh Bramos to explore the transformation of a prayer life. Josh shares how his journey with prayer shifted from something transactional—asking and hoping for results—to something relational, where he now experiences it as a two-way dialogue with God. Through personal stories, biblical insight, and practical encouragement, this conversation invites listeners to discover a deeper, more authentic connection with the God who not only hears, but speaks.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:3In the final episode of our Financial Ethics series, we're tackling a message that promises health and wealth—but often leads to heartache: the prosperity gospel. Dr. David W. Jones joins us to unpack its dangers and point us back to a truly biblical view of blessing and provision.Dr. David W. Jones is Senior Professor of Christian Ethics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Ph.D. in Christian Financial Ethics and is the co-author of Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. W. Jones and Russell S. Woodbridge.Faith Is Not a TransactionOne of the most dangerous ideas in the prosperity gospel is that faith guarantees financial prosperity. It treats faith like a force—a tool believers can wield to compel God's blessings.But biblical faith isn't self-generated or transactional. It is a gift from God, a response to His revealed grace, and a means by which we trust Him, not a lever to gain wealth. Faith is “the eyesight of the soul”—deeply rational and rooted in the truth of who God is, not in wishful thinking or material expectations.Prosperity theology often preaches a “faith formula”: believe hard enough, and you'll be rewarded. But this distorts faith into a mechanism for personal gain. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It's not irrational optimism—it's a reasoned trust in the unseen promises of God.We should view faith not as a way to escape hardship or secure abundance but as a path of trusting God in all things, including suffering.The Problem with Escaping SufferingOne hallmark of the prosperity gospel is its aversion to suffering. But as Jones points out, suffering is part of living in a fallen world—and it's not something Scripture tells us to avoid at all costs. In fact, passages like 1 Peter 4:12 and 2 Timothy 3:12 remind us that suffering is to be expected for faithful followers of Christ.Rather than hinder our faith, suffering refines it. Suffering is the crucible of character. It's often through trials that we grow closest to Christ and are shaped into His likeness.God's Provision Comes Through WorkAnother distortion in prosperity teaching is the expectation of windfalls—blessings that come without effort. But God's design for provision is through work. From the beginning, humans were created to labor and create, reflecting the image of God.Working, creating, and flourishing through effort honors our design and brings fulfillment. Attempts to bypass God's design through get-rich-quick schemes ultimately violate our dignity and God's intended path for flourishing.Prosperity preachers often misuse Scripture to back their claims. One example is 2 Corinthians 8:9: “That though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”Taken out of context, it may sound like a promise of material wealth. But in its context, Paul is referring to our spiritual poverty and Christ's sacrifice to make us spiritually rich—context matters. Misreading Scripture to fit a materialistic theology distorts the gospel's central message.Giving as Grace, Not GreedProsperity theology often frames giving as a transaction: sow a seed to receive a harvest. But biblical generosity isn't about personal return—it's about grace.True giving flows from love for God and neighbor. We give not to get, but because we've already received so much. Our stewardship reflects our gratitude, not our greed. The heart of biblical giving is a response to God's grace, not a strategy for personal gain.Make your life about Christ, not your increase, not your own prosperity, but about flourishing in the image of His Son.That's the true antidote to the prosperity gospel. We aren't promised wealth, ease, or success. But we are promised Christ—and in Him, we find every blessing that matters.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 64 and planning to retire within the next year. I have approximately $10,000 that I won't need for income, and I'm seeking guidance on how to invest it wisely. I'm especially interested in options that align with biblical values and reflect my faith in the companies I support.My wife and I are approaching retirement. We're financially secure, and our home is fully paid off. One concern I have is not having long-term care insurance. I'm considering either a reverse mortgage or a home equity loan to cover potential long-term care expenses, but I'd like to understand the pros and cons of each option before moving forward.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Health, Wealth, and Happiness: How the Prosperity Gospel Overshadows the Gospel of Christ by Dr. David W.

In this episode, Divya speaks with Scott Hardy. Scott is an Extension Educator with the Ohio Sea Grant College Program, where he leads research and runs education and outreach programs on watershed restoration, coastal zone management, and stormwater runoff. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, where he works on several research projects. Scott's work is all about collaboration — bringing people together to solve problems that no one can tackle alone. He knows that collaboration isn't automatic. It takes time, trust, and spaces where people feel heard and included. He also believes that every place is different, and you need to really understand the local context to make teamwork work. Different projects need different kinds of partnerships, and Scott is skilled at figuring out what each situation needs. In this episode, they talk about Scott's ongoing work on Cuyahoga River restoration, where he has been closely collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders ranging from state agencies to industry to local communities. They also talk about his recent experience as a Fulbright Specialist at the Universidad de Atacama in Copiapó, Chile, where he was invited to share his expertise on sustainable water management.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by national treasure, showrunner, comic and musician JORDAN GRAY!Pip and Jordan have been pals for a lot of years, and many of you will likely have heard Jordan appear on this very podcast since the 20-teens. The first episode was a pivotal one which is often refered back to with a number of teachable moments that echoed over the years, but whatever your perspective - Jordan's been putting in the work creatively, socially and mentally. With her Edinburgh Fringe show 'Is That A Cock In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Here To Kill Me' featuring this year, and the hit show 'Transaction' on TV, things are looking lovely - but as you'll hear, this stuff doesn't just happen. You knew that of course. But for real - it is a grind. She and Pip expound on such items as memories and place, compartmentalising, PR glow ups, prepping and ironing out a show, gauging audience temperatures, death threats, the good old toilet debate, the difficult world of Harry Potter, and many such ports of call - but all with a strength and positivity that is hard to not be influenced by.
