Podcasts about true cost

If you've ever felt torn between being real and being marketable, this episode is going to hit home.In this raw + unfiltered conversation, I sit down with Kyle Creek — aka The Captain — to talk about the addictive nature of writing, the tension between art + commerce, and the challenge of staying true to yourself in a world that rewards clicks over authenticity.Kyle shares what it's really like to walk away from a comfortable career in advertising to carve out a life as a full-time writer — one that's both liberating + brutally exposing. We dive deep into the pitfalls of personal branding, the pressure to perform online, and why Kyle refuses to bend to AI-driven content trends.This episode is for every creator, writer, or human trying to reconcile their need for self-expression with the demands of a noisy, fast-moving digital world.⭐️YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS: Please: Subscribe + leave 5⭐️Star rating +review HEREEnjoy! xRxFIND ME ON:️INSTAGRAMSUBSTACKYOUTUBEXTHREADSFIND KYLE CREEK ON:IGWEBFREE RESOURCES:

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are significantly increasing their spending on cybersecurity solutions, with managed detection and response (MDR) and network detection and response (NDR) expected to grow by 107% and 118%, respectively. However, despite this financial commitment, a recent study reveals that 83% of SMBs do not conduct formal security awareness training, and nearly half lack established incident response protocols. This operational gap is concerning, as the average financial loss from a security incident for these businesses is estimated at $1.6 million. The study emphasizes that technology alone cannot address the underlying issues of process and expertise that leave many businesses vulnerable.Microsoft's sixth annual digital defense report highlights a troubling trend where over half of cyberattacks are now financially motivated, with ransomware and extortion being primary drivers. Critical public services, such as hospitals and local governments, are particularly at risk due to limited cybersecurity budgets and inadequate incident response capabilities. Nation-state actors are also evolving their tactics, with countries like China and North Korea increasing their cyber espionage efforts. Microsoft stresses the importance of organizations staying informed about threats and collaborating with industry peers to enhance their defenses.For managed service providers (MSPs), this situation presents a unique opportunity. Clients are investing in cybersecurity tools but require assistance in operationalizing these tools into effective security measures. MSPs can help by building processes, training personnel, and conducting tabletop exercises to ensure that businesses are not just purchasing products but are genuinely prepared for potential threats. The podcast emphasizes that cybersecurity is not merely about acquiring tools; it is fundamentally about preparedness and having a well-executed plan tailored to the business's needs.Additionally, the episode discusses recent product updates from various vendors, including Nerdio, SureWeb, and Veeam, which are introducing new AI tools and partner updates to enhance MSP operations. The importance of human capital in maintaining complex systems is also highlighted, particularly in light of Amazon's recent AWS outage, which was exacerbated by significant layoffs leading to a loss of institutional knowledge. The podcast concludes with a call for MSPs to audit their technology stacks and focus on the impact of workflows rather than just features, ensuring that they are prepared for any chaos that may arise. Four things to know today00:00 The Cybersecurity Paradox: SMBs Spend More Than Ever, But Stay Just as Vulnerable04:21 ConnectWise's Critical Automate Flaws Highlight the Growing Risk of On-Prem RMMs06:11 From Layoffs to Latency: Amazon's DNS Outage Reveals the True Cost of Lost Expertise09:06 AI, Compliance, and Cloud PCs: Vendors Race to Redefine MSP Efficiency Ahead of Microsoft's 2025 Shift This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://try.auvik.com/dave-switchhttps://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

We delve into the UAE National Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Biennale, titled "Pressure Cooker" with curator Azza Aboualam. An assistant professor at the College of Arts and Creative Enterprises at Zayed University Dubai and co-founder of Holesum Studio, Aboualam explains how architecture can be a cornerstone for achieving food security, particularly in challenging climates like UAE's and the broader Gulf region. Inspired by a simple question from her mother about the origin of blueberries in the UAE, Aboualam's work explored the intersection of architectural design and food production, focusing on innovative greenhouse typologies. The "Pressure Cooker" exhibition showcases how traditional and high-tech architectural elements can be reconfigured to prolong growing seasons and expand food production within the UAE. We unpack the complexities of food security as a national priority, the economic and environmental costs of imported food, and the surprising prevalence of individual-led greenhouse projects in the UAE. We also touch upon the fascinating historical context of food in the UAE, the impact of population growth on food systems, and a unique architectural cookbook attached to the project, which frames the conversation around food and built environments. 0:00:00 The UAE's Vision For Food Security0:02:40 "Pressure Cooker": Architecture and Food Flow0:03:33 The Blueberry Revelation: Origin of the Idea0:04:38 Why Food Security Is an Architectural Problem in the UAE0:05:48 The Urgency of Food Security In The UAE0:07:08 Global Warming and Food Production Challenges0:08:08 Inside The "Pressure Cooker" UAE Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 20250:10:41 A Call to Action and Moment of Reflection0:11:55 The True Cost of Food0:12:21 Greenhouses: a Common Practice in the UAE0:14:16 The "Kit-of-Parts" Innovation0:14:42 The Adaptable Greenhouse System0:16:07 Food Production in Apartment Living0:16:44 Sparking Broader Conversations0:17:30 Individual vs. Urban Scale Food Production0:19:08 Who Is Doing Food Security Well?0:20:32 Food Infrastructure in the UAE0:21:56 Regional Knowledge Sharing0:23:02 Local Food Production and Sufficiency0:23:53 Oil Revenue's Impact on Food Security0:25:01 Pressure Cooker Recipes: An Architectural Cookbook0:26:44 Engaging With Local Farmers0:28:18 Pathway to Food Independence0:29:03 Defining Food Independence0:30:54 Supermarkets: a Changing Landscape0:32:08 Historical Food Production in the UAE0:33:11 Migration and Food Systems0:35:00 Resources for Learning About Food Security0:36:51 The Problem of Food Waste0:39:17 Packaging Waste in the F&B IndustryUpcoming event

A historic but controversial deal unfolds as former President Trump addresses the Israeli Parliament following the release of 20 hostages — at the cost of freeing roughly 2,000 of the most dangerous Hamas terrorists, including 250 serving life sentences. This episode dives into the risks and consequences of the deal, the strategic gains for Hamas, the unreported realities of the agreement, and the potential threats reaching the U.S., Canada, and beyond. We also explore systemic failures in judicial oversight, immigration loopholes, and the challenges in enforcing national security measures domestically.

How do you turn a freight brokerage's operational chaos into excellence and customer confidence? Let's hear from Dave Gutierrez of OLIMP Warehousing, sharing how his team delivers flexible, on-demand storage solutions that help brokers handle rejected loads, missed appointments, and tight delivery windows without breaking a sweat! We delve into building lasting trust through proactive communication, how rigorous warehouse vetting keeps freight safe, and why embracing complex “ugly freight” can actually give brokers a massive competitive edge in the business!   About Dave Gutierrez Dave is a twenty-year veteran of the logistics business, both as a broker and as a shipper. He has a super-useful BA in creative writing from the University of Illinois and an ostensibly more relevant MBA from Loyola Chicago to go with it. Currently he is the Vice President and Sales at OLIMP Warehousing, a provider of flexible on-demand warehousing solutions. He lives in the suburbs of Chicago with his family--wife, two excellent children, and two badly behaved labrador retrievers.    Connect with Dave Website: https://olimpwarehousing.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davegutierrez-transportation/   

Playing it safe feels comfortable, right? But here's the truth: safe is actually the riskiest move you can make. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real cost of hiding in your comfort zone—lost time, lost money, lost confidence, and worst of all… lost dreams. I'll share how saying “yes” to starting a property management company with Nick (even in the craziest season of our lives!) opened doors we never would've imagined. And I'll ask you the same questions I've been asking myself: What is staying safe costing you? Where are you shrinking instead of stepping forward? Because regret? That's heavier than any risk you'll ever take. This week, I'm challenging you to trade safety for courage and take the leap you've been putting off. Your dream life isn't built in your comfort zone—it's waiting on the other side of risk.

Celebrated historian of science and author of Merchants of Doubt Naomi Oreskes exposes how powerful corporations distort science to protect profits, by using scientists who seek to promote their personal ideologies. She draws the lines between climate denial, food system disinformation, and the fight to preserve soil-based organic farming. This conversation is a call to defend both science and farming integrity against corporate control.https://realorganicproject.org/naomi-oreskes-true-cost-of-doubt-243The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

How Cops Manufactured Confessions — The True Cost of the Yogurt Shop Cover-Up This is the segment that should make every law‑and‑order headline pause. We're not rehashing the solved case — we're pulling the thread that destroyed lives for decades: the interrogation tactics, investigative tunnel vision, and prosecutorial rush that produced false confessions in the Yogurt Shop murders. On Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta sits with us and we play back the press conference moments that acknowledged what so many suspected for years: Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen confessed under intense interrogation, and there was never physical evidence tying them to the scene. We walk through how those confessions were obtained, why they stuck in courtrooms, and how the system rewarded certainty over truth. This segment breaks that process down in plain language. We explain, with examples and legal perspective, why an 18‑hour interrogation — or five hours of repeated suggestion and pressure — can make a person confess to something they never did. We talk psychological coercion: minimization, false‑evidence ploys, repeated suggestion, exhaustion — techniques that produce the appearance of confession without producing truth. Bob describes the prosecutorial incentives that let that evidence carry the day: a damning audio tape, a nervous jury, and a DA office under pressure to close a city‑shattering crime. But it's not just psychology. We cover the procedural failures: why exculpatory DNA was ignored for years, how labs and evidence management fell short, and why internal checks — from supervisory review to independent oversight — failed to catch the drift. We also tackle the human cost: men who lost their freedom, reputations, and futures; families who were misled; and the chilling reality that the real killer stayed on the road. This is a call for accountability, not spectacle. Bob lays out concrete reforms that would have prevented these confessions from being the lynchpin of a criminal case: mandatory video of all interrogations, strict limits on session length, independent review when confessions are central, and a presumption against charging when DNA excludes suspects. We finish asking the question every viewer should be asking: how many other cases are resting on coerced admissions right now? If you want a legal, psychological and human breakdown of how police failures become life sentences — and what to do about it — watch this. This isn't just a true crime story. It's a warning.

You've achieved more than most people, but if you're honest, it's come at a cost — to your health, your relationships, your energy, maybe even your sense of peace. And here's the kicker: no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough. In this very first episode of Congruent, Lisa Carpenter pulls back the curtain on the truth about success. Why do so many high-achieving men and women deny or downplay their success? Why does “making it” rarely feel the way we imagined it would? And what does it actually take to create success that sustains you instead of drains you? Lisa shares her own story of chasing achievement while never feeling successful, and how a life-changing season forced her to embody everything she'd been teaching for over a decade. She reveals the hidden costs of “do-er mode,” the patterns that keep ambitious people stuck, and the shifts required to build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.   What you'll hear in this episode: Why success often comes with hidden costs. The gap between how others see you and how you see yourself. The real reason nothing ever feels like enough. The difference between numbing with busyness vs. living in congruence. What congruent success looks and feels like. What to expect from this podcast each week. If you've been chasing achievement but still feel unfulfilled, exhausted, or disconnected, this episode will help you see that you're not broken — you've been conditioned. And there's a different way forward.

“You can live in Vietnam for $1,000 a month… but will you be happy, healthy, and secure doing it?”Adrie and I are gonna be here again, but in different roles - she's the host and interviews me. Adrie asks me about the real cost of living in Vietnam after nine years as expats in Ho Chi Minh City. When we first arrived, we thought everything would be dirt cheap — almost free. But as we settled into long-term life, we learned that costs depend entirely on the lifestyle you want to live.This conversation was a fun mix of stories from our early days, lessons we've learned the hard way, and advice I wish someone had told me when we first moved here. It's not just about whether you can survive on a backpacker budget — it's about whether you can thrive here long-term with savings, health insurance, and a lifestyle you actually enjoy. Key Talking PointsFirst impressions vs. reality – Vietnam feels cheap at first, but costs add up quickly.Wide price ranges – from 10k coffees to 110k Starbucks, lifestyle choices shape your budget.Can you live on $1,000/month? Long-term essentials – pensions, health insurance, transportation, and gym memberships are often overlooked.Simple but rich lifestyle – Vietnam makes it easier to spend less on consumer goods, but temptations (international food, travel, shopping) are always there.Chapters[00:00] Arriving in Vietnam – first impressions and naïve expectations.[07:00] The shock of real rent prices in Ho Chi Minh City.[13:00] Street food vs. Western comforts: how your lifestyle changes your budget.[19:00] Hidden costs expats forget: pensions, insurance, gyms, and groceries.[29:00] Big question: Can you live on $1,000/month in Saigon?[45:00] Why a simpler life in Vietnam can actually feel richer."Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh Support the show

A few years ago, MSNBC contributor and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Trymaine Lee, though healthy and only 38, nearly died of a heart attack. That experience forced him to confront the multitude of factors that almost killed him. In his new book, “A Thousand Ways to Die: The True Cost of Violence on Black Life in America,” he discusses the weight of being a Black man in America, of bearing witness, as a journalist, to relentless Black death, the toll of intergenerational oppression and more. Lee joins WITHpod to discuss three themes in the book: the long and bloody history of African Americans and guns; his work as a chronicler of gun violence and his own life story.

The numbers are mind blowing. According to Roadkill authors Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, cars have killed more people than both world wars combined. That's how toxic our relationship with cars has been over the last century, they argue. The UN figures they cite—60 to 80 million direct deaths since the automobile's invention—don't even include premature deaths from air pollution or the millions seriously injured. Yet we've become “car blind,” Moore and Kay contend, unable to see how we've surrendered 80% of urban public space to vehicles that sit idle 96% of the time, creating what they call a hidden “car industrial complex” that reshapes cities in its image. So what to do? They advocate for “choice not obligation”—redesigning cities so people can drive if they want but aren't forced to. They point to successful experiments from Barcelona's superblocks to Dallas's highway cap parks, where reclaimed streets have actually increased business revenue by up to 34% in some cases. Their goal isn't to ban cars but to stop letting them dominate every aspect of urban planning and life.1. The Deadly Math of “Car Blindness” Cars have directly killed 60-80 million people since their invention—more than WWI and WWII combined. Yet we've normalized this death toll and become “car blind” to how thoroughly automobiles dominate our lives, with 80% of urban public space dedicated to vehicles that sit unused 96% of the time.2. Electric and Self-Driving Cars Aren't Silver Bullets Moore and Kay argue that EVs and autonomous vehicles like Waymo don't solve the fundamental problem: they're still cars taking up urban space. Plus, EVs bring their own issues—from lithium extraction devastating places like Chile's Atacama Desert to the question of whether electricity generation is actually clean.3. “Choice Not Obligation” - A New Freedom Framework The authors aren't advocating car bans but rather redesigning cities so driving becomes optional rather than mandatory. They argue true 21st-century freedom means being able to walk to school safely, access nearby shops, and move through cities without car dependence—not just the 20th-century freedom to drive anywhere.4. Global South Solutions Leading the Way Surprisingly, innovations aren't coming from Copenhagen but from places like Nairobi's matatu system (on-demand informal transit) and Dallas's highway “cap parks.” These demonstrate that car reduction isn't just for wealthy European cities but can work across diverse economic contexts.5. Follow the Money - It Actually Works When done properly, reducing car dominance boosts business. Times Square restaurants saw revenue jump 34% after pedestrianization. The key is integrated planning with communities rather than top-down mandates, ensuring alternatives exist before removing parking.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Send us a textCars have long been sold as the ultimate symbol of freedom. But what if they've trapped us instead? In this episode of FUTUREPROOF., we sit down with Arthur Kay, urban designer and coauthor of Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars.Kay argues that America's car dependency is more than a climate issue—it's a system of financial, political, and social control that burdens working and middle-class families, strains local economies, and limits real choice. Together, we explore:Why cars drive hidden costs in housing, taxes, and debtHow car-centric cities hollow out communities and opportunitiesThe global lessons America can learn from more walkable, resilient urban modelsA realistic blueprint for building cities that prioritize people, not vehiclesThis conversation goes far beyond traffic jams and tailpipe emissions—it's about the future of freedom, equity, and the way we design our lives.

Thanks to our partners Promotive and Wicked FileAuto shops aren't going broke because they charge too little—they're going broke because they're measuring wrong. In this episode, CPA and host Hunt Demerest unpacks the gap between what your shop management system tells you and what your financials know to be true. From the hidden drag of switching techs from flat rate to hourly to the simple tweak that makes your software reflect real costs, Hunt shows you how to surface the problem (productivity vs. pricing) and correct course—before your margins get cut in half.What you'll learn:02:20 – Expectation vs. reality: SMS shows 75% gross profit—but QuickBooks shows ~50%.04:38 – The pivot that broke the math: moving techs from flat rate to hourly + production drop.06:52 – Why unchecked hourly pay halves margins—and why it's so hard to fix later.09:12 – “Productivity” isn't just techs: counter, invoicing, parts, layout, communication.13:55 – Pricing sanity check: book time vs. your actual time; efficiency vs. productivity.16:04 – The core software issue: SMS assumes techs are only paid when you're paid.18:23 – The fix: compare SMS “expected” labor cost to QuickBooks actuals and adjust: set a shop-wide uplift % or per-tech rates, include benefits, vacation, unpaid work, bonuses, aim to slightly overstate costs (~5%) so you're pleasantly surprised at month-end.32:16 – Wrap: Most shops have a productivity and pricing problem—use SMS truthing to see it sooner.Key takeawaysFlat rate manages downside; hourly requires management. If hourly productivity slides from ~40 flagged hours to ~20, your margin vanishes.Don't let software mask reality. If SMS says 75% gross profit but financials show ~50%, trust the books and recalibrate SMS.Blend the cure. You rarely fix a major productivity problem only with pricing—and you can't price your way out of operational drag.Make SMS reflect true cost. Start shop-wide: if SMS shows $10k labor cost but QuickBooks shows $12k, increase internal tech rates by +20% (then refine per-tech if needed).Target “conservative accuracy.” Slightly overstating cost protects your bottom line morebthan rosy math ever will.Thanks to our partner PromotiveIt's time to hire a superstar for your business; what a grind you have in front of you.

In this episode of The Bartlett Review, Professor Dame Henrietta Moore, Founder and Director of the Institute for Global Prosperity, and Arthur Kay, Advisor to Innovo Group and founder of several technology and urban design companies, discuss their new book, Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars. They explore the social, financial, ethical, and environmental impacts of cars, challenge common myths, and share practical ideas for rethinking the way we use them to improve our cities and freedoms. While cars are often sold as symbols of freedom, Henrietta and Arthur show how they restrict choice, limit city life, and impose hidden costs on health, communities, and the planet. They share real-world examples, challenge myths about electric and autonomous vehicles, and offer practical ideas for rethinking how we use cars. Order your copy: https://getroadkill.com/

What are you willing to sacrifice for security? Author Cleyvis Natera invites readers to explore this question and more on a breathless seven-day trip to The Grand Paloma Resort, a Dominican Republic luxury resort where White Lotus-esque thriller meets sharp social commentary. As two local girls go missing and a hurricane approaches, sisters Laura and Elena live and work amidst stark class distinctions. The resort siphons water for lush gardens while local communities face drought, tourists operate under systems of private justice, and staff navigate knotty power dynamics for survival. Join host Katie Fogarty and Natera as they wander The Grand Paloma and explore the complexities of midlife: are we obligated to take responsibility for others, what is the moral cost of compromises for security, and how to thread the delicate balance between protecting those we love and allowing them autonomy. Bonus! We also crack open Natera's critically acclaimed debut Neruda on the Park, uncover how aspiring authors can get the most out of writing workshops, and discover why Natera credits "getting lost" as essential to building a creative, values-driven midlife.

Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Trymaine Lee joins Shifting Culture to talk about his new book A Thousand Ways to Die and the true cost of violence in America. Known as a griot of Black survival and death, Trymaine has spent decades reporting on the lives and communities most affected by gun violence. But when he suffered a sudden heart attack at just 38, he was forced to reckon with the weight of the trauma he had carried in his body and in his family's history of generational loss. In this conversation, Trymaine traces the roots of America's cycles of violence back to slavery, systemic racism, and disinvestment, showing how those forces still shape families and neighborhoods today. He also shares how identity, mentorship, and joy can disrupt the cycle, and why nothing stops a bullet like dignity, opportunity, and love. This episode is heavy, but it's also filled with hope. Because as Trymaine reminds us, there may be a thousand ways to die, but there are also a thousand ways to live.Trymaine Lee is a Pulitzer Prize and Emmy award winning journalist and MSNBC contributor. He's the host of the “Into America” podcast where he covers the intersection of Blackness, power, and politics. A contributing author to the “1619 Project”, he has reported for The New York Times, the Huffington Post, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

This Podcast Is Episode 644, And It's About Five Hidden Ways Contractors Lose Profits (And How To Stop It) Where did the money go? If you've ever looked at your bank account at the end of a busy month and thought, "I did all that work—so where did the money go?", you're not alone. This is one of the most common frustrations we hear from small business owners in the construction industry. You're booking jobs, staying busy, and delivering great work—but the profit doesn't seem to match the effort. As construction bookkeeping specialists, we've seen behind the numbers of dozens of small contractors. And time and again, we find the same hidden leaks draining their profits. The good news? Once you know what to look for, you can fix them—and finally start keeping more of what you earn. Here are five common ways contractors lose profits (without even realizing it)—and what you can do to stop the leaks. 1. Untracked Labor Hours: Working More Than You Billed Labor is often your most considerable cost. But for many small contractors, labor tracking is one of the weakest parts of their system. If you (or your crew) aren't logging actual hours worked on each job, you're likely underestimating how much time the project really took. That means you're effectively working for free on those "extra" hours. Real example: A contractor estimated a bathroom remodel at 40 hours of labor. The job actually took 55 hours. At $50/hour, that's $750 of lost profit—just from labor under-tracking. Multiply that across several jobs, and you can see how the profits evaporate. How to fix it: Use a simple time-tracking tool (like QuickBooks Time, or even a shared spreadsheet). Log hours daily—not at the end of the week when details are fuzzy. Compare estimated vs. actual hours after each job. This helps you improve future bids and spot inefficiencies. Bookkeeper's tip: If you track hours properly, I can show you job profitability in real time—and you'll see exactly which jobs (or crew members) are eating into your margin. 2. Unapproved Change Orders: Giving Away Work for Free Scope creep is the silent profit killer. A client asks, "Can you just add this?" and you say yes because it seems like a minor request. But those "little extras" add up quickly—and suddenly your margins are gone. Real example: A deck project initially included a standard railing. Midway through, the client asked for an upgraded design. The contractor agreed but never adjusted the invoice. The upgrade cost him $500 in materials and 10 extra labor hours—completely unpaid. How to fix it: Create a straightforward change order process. Stop work when clients request something new until the change is approved in writing. Even if it feels awkward, remember: change orders protect both you and the client by keeping expectations clear. Bookkeeper's tip: Keep a change order log for each job. We can help track approved vs. pending changes—so nothing slips through the cracks. 3. Material Waste and Overruns: Small Leaks, Big Losses Materials are another common leak. If you're not reconciling receipts against your estimates, you may be spending far more than you realize. It's not always theft or big mistakes—it's the little things: over-ordering, miscuts, lost supplies, or last-minute runs to the hardware store. Real example: A contractor estimated $5,000 in materials for a kitchen remodel. By the end, he had spent $5,800. That $800 didn't seem huge—but on a project with a $2,000 expected profit, it wiped out nearly half. How to fix it: Match every material receipt to the job. Track waste (e.g., lumber offcuts, unused drywall sheets). Build a small buffer into estimates (5–10%) to account for inevitable overruns. Do weekly check-ins: Are material costs still aligned with the budget? Bookkeeper's tip: If you send us your receipts consistently, we can flag when a job is trending over budget before it's too late. 4. Late Invoicing and Slow Collections: Cash Flow Gaps Many contractors do the work first and think about invoicing later. The problem is that late invoices result in late payments. And late payments can create cash flow crunches that force you to dip into savings, use credit, or delay your own bills. Worse, some clients "forget" to pay unless reminded. If you're not consistent about invoicing and follow-ups, you might never collect everything you've earned. Real example: A contractor finished a $10,000 basement project but didn't invoice until six weeks later. The client delayed payment for another four weeks. That's 10 weeks without income—while the contractor was already paying subs and suppliers. How to fix it: Invoice immediately at milestones—not weeks later. Use progress billing: collect deposits upfront, then bill at set phases. Set clear payment terms (Net 15, Net 30) in your contracts. Automate reminders using software like QuickBooks, Joist, or FreshBooks. Bookkeeper's tip: We can set up a system where invoices go out automatically and overdue payments are flagged—so you never have to chase clients down again. 5. Forgetting Overhead: Missing the True Cost of Running Your Business This is one of the biggest mistakes we see: contractors price jobs based only on direct costs (labor + materials) and forget to include overhead. Overhead is everything it takes to keep your business running, like: Truck payments and fuel Insurance and licenses Office supplies and software Marketing and advertising Your own salary! If you don't factor in overhead, you might think you made a profit—but really, you just broke even. Real example: A contractor charged $15,000 for a renovation. Materials and labor cost $11,000, so it looked like a $4,000 profit. However, once overhead was factored in (including fuel, insurance, phone, bookkeeping, etc.), the actual profit was closer to $1,200. How to fix it: Calculate your monthly overhead. Divide that into your billable hours or projects. Add it to every estimate. Bookkeeper's tip: We can calculate your overhead burden per job, so you'll know exactly how much to add to every quote to stay profitable. Recap: 5 Hidden Profit Leaks Untracked labor hours Unapproved change orders Material waste and overruns Late invoicing and slow collections Forgetting overhead Each of these may seem small, but together they can drain thousands of dollars from your business every year. The Bottom Line: You Don't Have to Keep Losing Money The difference between "busy and broke" and "busy and profitable" isn't more jobs—it's better control of your numbers. When you track your labor, materials, change orders, invoices, and overhead, you stop the leaks and keep more of the money you've already earned. And you don't have to do it alone.

For example, a burger that costs $10 at the restaurant might be $12-$13 on the app. It's hard to say whether all restaurants increase pricing for items within the app, but I've noticed it a few times when I order some of my favorite treats from a local coffee shop in my neighborhood.   Another thing to keep in mind is that you can expect to pay additional fees, such as delivery and processing fees. For example, most platforms charge a delivery fee, which can range between $1.99 and $6.99, depending on the app, the distance for delivery, and demand. They can charge a service fee, typically a percentage of the order, such as 10-15%. Some apps will charge a small order fee if the order doesn't meet a minimum. And then there's, of course, the tip. Although tipping is optional, it's often expected and essential to give a little extra to the driver delivering your order. Considering all the fees, a $15 meal in person could become $25+ after the fees and the tip. Not exactly a budget breaker, but over time, those fees and tips can add up to a substantial amount of unexpected costs.     It's important to recognize that you are paying a premium for meals ordered through the apps. While delivery is undoubtedly convenient—especially when we aren't in the mood to prep, cook, and clean—the real money-saving option is cooking for yourself. On average, restaurant meals can cost up to five times more than making them at home. For instance, a deluxe cheeseburger might cost $4.63 to prepare at home, but it could cost $13.69 for takeout and $23.79 for delivery after the fees and tip are factored in. By consistently opting for food delivery, you'll end up spending considerably more on your meals. Sometimes the convenience of delivery is justifiable, but other times it's not worth the extra cost, so before opening the app to hunt for tonight's dinner, consider the significant cost savings of preparing the same meal at home.   So, we've covered the most significant way food delivery apps can cost you more. How can we help you enjoy the benefits of these apps without overspending? Here are a few ways to minimize the chances of overspending the next time you want to order out.    Opt for takeout and pick up the order yourself instead of paying more for delivery. You'll avoid all the added fees, and there's no need to tip a driver.    Avoid using the app and order directly from the restaurant. This can reduce the processing or service fees associated with ordering through an app.    Use a loyalty program to save. Most apps offer a loyalty program with zero delivery fees and other savings, albeit for a monthly fee. But if you find yourself using the apps frequently enough, do the math to determine if getting on a loyalty plan will save you money.   Set a monthly delivery budget to ensure you have money set aside for food delivery. This is an easy way to ensure you'll have the funds available to afford the joys of food delivery without the danger of overspending.   While food delivery services offer the ease and convenience of having delicious food and other household items delivered directly to our door, they can also lead to excessive overspending and the buildup of bad debt. It's crucial to remember that using these apps can be enjoyable, but they require discipline and financial awareness. With a bit of attention, planning, and discipline, we can all enjoy the benefit of using food delivery apps without damaging our finances.  If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.

The reason for that is because, when you're doing the peptides, they aren't regulated, so you don't know. It could be a guy in a bathtub in China with his cat, and they're making them, and you're pumping that into your body hoping it's going to make a difference. 28:40 – So without sounding too sarcastic with it, so in that same vein, if you say people want to be healthy, people that we talked about asking like the GLP compound of drugs, or the GLP weight loss drugs, people healthy will...

The True Cost of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill on Family BusinessIn this episode of Fearless Family Business, Adam critically examines a recent piece of legislation—referred to as Donald Trump's 'One Big, Beautiful Bill'—that entails multi-trillion dollar tax cuts, program cuts, and spending increases. Adam argues that while some may benefit financially in the short term, the bill has dire long-term implications for family businesses and society as a whole. Key points include the exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis through increased immigration enforcement, the enlargement of the federal deficit, and the widening wealth gap. Adam advocates for investment in education, healthcare, and inclusion as essential pathways for sustainable economic prosperity and value creation. The episode underscores the need for family businesses to focus on innovation and long-term legacy rather than short-term gains.00:00 Introduction: The Big Beautiful Bill00:19 Why I Oppose the Bill01:46 Overview of the Legislation03:51 Impact on Social Programs and Defense Spending06:44 Humanitarian Crisis and Immigration Enforcement10:35 Deficit and Fiscal Responsibility22:06 Wealth Gap and Value Creation26:38 Conclusion: A Call to Action for Family Businesses

We all know that with the rise of technology, our kids are growing up in a vastly different world than we did. Regardless of your house rules on phones and screen time, it's likely that every kid will be exposed to social media in some way, which has a worrisome amount of power over their view of themselves and the world.  Dino Ambrosi, founder of Project Reboot, is on a mission to help the next generation build a better relationship with technology, in order to reclaim time and regain focus. He explains exactly how much of our precious lives are being traded away for screen time. While it's not necessarily realistic to ban screens altogether (for ourselves or our kids), it is crucial that we teach our kids how to use technology with intention, because how we spend our time shapes who we become.
