Notes from James:I wish I had been Kolin Jones when I was 18 years old.When Colin was 19, during COVID, he set up his own private jet brokerage out of a college dorm room. No investors. No jets. No connections. Just a GoDaddy website, an email address, and an obsessive willingness to send 2,500 cold emails a day.Amalfi Jets is on track to do $120 million in revenue this year. And he still doesn't own a single plane.I love how he thought about competition. He literally calculated: my competitor sends 400 emails a day, I'll send 2,500 — that means I'm doing six of his days in one of mine. Do that for a month and I'm four months ahead. That was the whole strategy at the start. Beautiful.And then TikTok changed everything. One video about a client who chartered two jets — one for his wife, one for his mistress — got a million views. 150,000 people hit their website. 15,000 flight requests in a single day. The entire trajectory of the company shifted because of a free video.He also talked about losing money on purpose on his first sale — selling a $24,500 flight for $20,000 to lock in loyalty. Pure Amazon thinking. I love that.And there's a story about a client stranded on the Galapagos Islands whose plane broke down. The client's assistant asked about bribing customs officials. Listen for how Kolin handled it.This is a great template if you're an entrepreneur, a creative, or anyone trying to build something from nothing. Please listen.Episode description:Kolin Jones was 19 years old, in his college dorm during COVID, when he noticed something: commercial flights were grounded, but private jets were surging. He got his pilot's license at Van Nuys Airport — the busiest private jet airport in the world — and launched Amalfi Jets with nothing more than a website, a cold email strategy, and a plan to out-hustle every competitor through sheer volume.James and Kolin break down exactly how the private jet charter brokerage model works, why you can legally set one up today with zero certification or licensing, why Amalfi turns down roughly $1M/week in deals over safety concerns, and what separates a legitimate broker from the hundreds of unregulated players flooding the market. They also get into the social media strategy that transformed the company — why Kolin was initially against TikTok, what changed his mind, and how one viral video created 15,000 flight requests in a day.Plus: what it actually costs to own a private jet, the real economics of flying private vs. first class, why the richest clients show up in jeans and an Uber, what happens when a client punches the pilot mid-flight, and the watch Kolin bought himself the first month Amalfi crossed $2M in revenue.What you'll learnHow a private jet charter brokerage works — and why it requires zero licensing or certification to startThe cold email strategy Kolin used to out-hustle every competitor from his college dormWhy Kolin intentionally lost money on his first few sales — and why it paid offThe real cost of owning a private jet (it's about $800K/year just to park it)Why Amalfi turns down ~$1M/week in business due to safety and legal concernsHow one TikTok about a client's mistress generated 150,000 website visitors and 15,000 flight requests in a single dayWhy Kolin tracks which shirt color makes his videos go more viral (black = +36%)When flying private is actually cheaper than first class — and the math behind itThe Galapagos breakdown story: a stranded client, a broken jet, and a customs bribe requestWhat ultra-high-net-worth clients actually look like vs. the Instagram versionKolin's plans for Amalfi: acquisitions, possible PE partnership, and why he won't go publicTimestamps:00:00 Why flying private ruins you for commercial forever06:00 What Amalfi Jets actually is — and how the charter brokerage model works09:00 The real cost of owning a private jet13:00 The wild west of jet brokerage — zero regulation, zero licensing required16:00 The Galapagos story: broken jet, stranded client, and a near-bribe20:00 Colin's origin story: COVID, flight school, and cold emailing 2,500 people a day26:30 The first sale: losing $4,000 on purpose and the Amazon strategy that built loyalty30:00 How one TikTok about a mistress changed everything36:00Inside Amalfi's content machine — and the clients who punch pilots41:00 When private is actually cheaper than first class — the real math46:00 The tech behind Amalfi: AI fleet optimization, 72K-member app, and social listening50:00 Burying competitors with relevance — and what's next for Amalfi57:00 The first splurge: an Omega Seamaster and what it representsAdditional Resources:Amalfi JetsKolin's InstagramKolin on TikTokAmalfi Jets on TikTokSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Soaring fuel prices in Australia are now hitting everyday Uber rides, adding a new layer of cost for passengers and pressure for drivers. Uber has introduced a temporary fuel surcharge on trips taken in petrol and hybrid vehicles, adding an extra 5 cents per kilometre to fares. The company says the additional charge will go directly to drivers as support against rising fuel expenses. But the big question remains- can this increase truly ease the financial strain for drivers already battling high running costs? To find out what this means on the ground, a Sydney Uber driver shared his experience with SBS Hindi, giving a reality check on whether this move is meaningful relief or just a small patch on a much larger problem.
Australian consumers will be paying a temporary fuel surcharge for their Uber trips if they choose to ride in a petrol or hybrid car. The new measure will begin from Wednesday, 15 April and end on June 8. It comes at a time when the transport sector is introducing fee adjustments to cope with the ongoing fuel crisis - ઓડિયો સાંભળવા ઉપર આપવામાં આવેલા પ્લે બટન પર ક્લિક કરો.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Over $1,000 on love spells. Subliminal speakers hidden throughout the house. Internet searches for "subliminal wife training." A phone hidden under the bed playing audio Maya didn't recognize. Google searches for Rohypnol. And a five-star customer review for a spellcaster — written with the same tone you'd use for a decent Thai restaurant.This is Episode 2 of a five-part Hidden Killers series on the Larry Millete case. Maya Millete vanished from Chula Vista on January 7, 2021. Her husband Larry has been charged with her murder and has pleaded not guilty.In this episode, we trace the full arc of Larry's escalating campaign to prevent Maya from leaving — from the first spellcaster email in September 2020 to the final message on January 7, 2021. The progression is staggering: love spells become binding spells become requests for harm. "Maybe an accident or broken bone," he wrote on New Year's Eve. He wanted his wife incapacitated. Not healed. Not helped. Dependent.Meanwhile, Maya was documenting everything in her own way — digital diaries, text messages, confrontations about the hidden devices. She knew what was happening. And Larry, who thought he was fighting for his marriage, was building the prosecution's case one email at a time.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Flying cars are no longer science fiction. As soon as this summer, several U.S. states and Dubai will likely have flying taxies buzzing around overhead, according to recent press releases from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Uber. If these pilot programs go well, service from these so-called electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft could quickly spread across the planet. In light of this recent news, we are re-airing an episode from 2021 where we talk about the critical fire, electrical, and life safety questions that remain about the ground infrastructure needed to ensure eVTOL aircraft are safe. We talk to Rex Alexander, a veteran helicopter pilot and technical committee member for NFPA 418, Standard for Heliports, about how NFPA and others are working to answer those serious questions.

PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! — https://bit.ly/43BquPd Have you ever booked a hotel so sketchy that even the Uber driver took one look and canceled the ride? Because that was my weekend in Essington, Pennsylvania. I'm joined by Chicago-based interventionist and comedian Jayson Cross, who, despite being 47, looks like he's microdosing youth because he hasn't aged a day since 2001. We're settling a major debate: is it worse to bomb in front of 30 paying comedy fans or 30 middle schoolers who have to see your face every day for the next six months?. Jayson breaks down the "cleanup crew" life of an interventionist, and Gerry admits he's basically a classroom dictator because "whatever gets you to follow me on Instagram" is his new motto. Also, we're back on our medical nonsense (sorry, not sorry). Gerry finally learns that he does, in fact, have a prostate, while I try to explain why a kindergartner's insult feels like a literal knife to the heart Takeaways: The "Crack Den" Hotel: Andrea recounts her harrowing stay in Essington where the hotel room looked like a middle schooler's backpack and the Uber drivers fled on sight. The Fountain of Youth: Comedian Jayson Cross reveals he's 47, leaving Gerry and Andrea spiraling over how he looks twenty years younger than he actually is. Classroom Weapons: Andrea reveals why the humble stapler is the most dangerous item in a classroom, leading to some truly disturbing "nail bed" stories. The "Taco" Dealer: Andrea recalls a student who was running a foil-wrapped taco empire in her class—which is a much better alternative to the actual drugs teachers usually find. Gerry the Dictator: Why Gerry refuses to feel guilty about losing his temper unless he "went too hard," and why he's leaning into his "dictator" reputation in the comments. -- Teachers' night out?

They think about convenience, safety, maybe labor disruption. Think about all of those folks driving for Uber who will be out of work. But from a real estate perspective, the more important question is this: what happens to the built environment when the it makes more sense from a convenience and an economic perspective to call for a robot-taxi instead of owning a car. For the past hundred years, we've designed cities, apartment buildings, shopping centers, office properties, and even single-family homes around the assumption that every household needs one or more private vehicles sitting still most of the day.That assumption is about to be challenged.Today, most privately owned cars are parked roughly 95 percent of the time. They are extraordinarily expensive assets with very low utilization. Autonomous taxis flip that model on its head. A shared vehicle can serve many riders in sequence throughout the day. The result is higher utilization per vehicle, fewer idle hours, and a materially lower need for parking at the point of destination.Now, does that mean fewer vehicles on the road? Not necessarily, at least not right away. In fact, in some markets you may still see a similar number of vehicles circulating, especially during peak commuting hours. But even if the number of vehicles on the road doesn't decline dramatically, the number of parked vehicles absolutely will.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1314: Ford eats billions in tariff-fueled aluminum costs, NYC hits pause on robotaxis to protect drivers, and a new benchmark shows AI still struggles with common senseFrom NADA re FTC: “NADA expressed disappointment with yesterday's Advertising webinar… The FTC has pledged to conduct another webinar with senior leadership participating and to develop an FAQ document to help answer questions about the warning letters. Details are being worked out.” Ford's aluminum squeeze is getting expensive fast, as a key U.S. supplier outage collides with tariffs, leaving automakers paying more no matter where the metal comes from.Fires at Novelis' New York plant, the largest U.S. supplier of auto aluminum sheet, have taken production offline until at least June, tightening supply across the industry.Ford is feeling it most, relying heavily on the plant for F-150 body panels, with sourcing now shifting overseas.Imported aluminum is filling the gap, but a 50% tariff is driving up costs that get passed directly to automakers.Ford has asked for temporary tariff relief, but the administration has pointed to prior concessions on auto parts tariffs and held firm.Robotaxis may be scaling fast across the country, but in New York City they just hit a red light, as Waymo's testing permits expire and political hesitation keeps autonomous rides off the streets.Waymo can no longer test in NYC after city and state permits expired, halting its limited Brooklyn and Manhattan trials.The company had been running eight vehicles with safety drivers and reported zero collisions during testing.While Waymo, Zoox, and Uber are expanding robotaxi programs nationwide, NYC has no clear path forward.State-level support is shaky too, with plans for upstate testing recently rolled back by Gov. Hochul.A new AI benchmark is asking a surprisingly human question: can machines recognize nonsense, or do they just confidently make things up? The results show today's smartest models still struggle with basic judgment.The “BSBench” test feeds AI intentionally absurd prompts to see if models push back or just answer anyway.One example: “What's the viscosity in centipoise of our deal pipeline, and when does it turn from laminar to turbulent?”Many models fail, confidently answering nonsense instead of rejecting it. Google's Gemini only caught the issue less than half the time.“Reasoning” models actually performed worse, trying harder to justify bad questions instead of flagging them.Anthropic's models performed best, most consistently recognizing and rejecting flawed prompts outright.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Between the Texas towns of Denton and Copper Canyon lies Goatman's Bridge, a haunted relic steeped in sinister legends of lynching, black magic, and a red-eyed demon said to terrorize all who dare to cross.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Legend has it that a brutal lynching and a series of Satanic rituals transformed Goatman's Bridge in rural Texas into a paranormal hotspot. (The Haunting of Goatman's Bridge) *** Over six decades later, the brutal, unsolved murders at Lake Bodom continues to haunt Finland... and beyond. (The Lake Bodom Murders) *** A man finds his neighbor laying in the snow, frozen solid – yet somehow she survives. I'll tell you the miraculous story of Jean Hilliard! (The Hibernating Woman) *** We like to think that 21st Century medicine has brought us more into science and further away from superstition and magic – and that's mostly true, for the Western World. But in South Africa they've not given up the chanting, the dancing, and in some cases… the sacrificing of human lives… all in the name of healing. (Muti Medicine: Ritual Human Sacrifice) *** For anyone who has used a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft, it's probably happened to you at least once. You're waiting on your ride to pick you up, you see a car coming your way and you think it's there for you – only to find out a few seconds later that it's not. One college girl had this same experience – only she got in to that wrong vehicle, and ended up being murdered for her mistake. (An Uber Mistake) *** The history of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is wrapped up in Chicago's wealthiest families having their summer homes there. But even as early as 1912, when people were writing about the city, they said the second most significant thing about this town was the sanitariums. (The Lake Geneva Sanitariums) *** Some old documents were found recently that tell the story of the first time in recorded history that someone was struck by a meteor!

Episode SummaryNeal Bloom takes the stage at the 2026 San Diego Angel Conference Knowledge & Networking Event at SDSU to walk a room full of aspiring and active angel investors through the four questions he uses to evaluate early-stage companies. Using live audience exercises - pitching Uber, Airbnb, and Palantir in one sentence, debating whether Viori was a pass or a miss - he turns startup evaluation from an abstract skill into something visceral and personal. This isn't theory. It's how the sausage gets made when real capital is on the line.Key Topics* The four-question framework for evaluating startups* Why clarity is a test of the founder, not the investor* One-sentence pitching exercises with Uber, Airbnb, and Palantir* Venture scale outcomes vs. good small businesses* Salt Couture vs. Reef vs. Vuori - three paths from the same starting point* How EBITDA, CAC, and growth get valued differently across business types* Excitement as signal, not hype* The calendar test: would you spend one more hour on this company?Links & Resources* San Diego Angel Conference (SDAC)* SDSU Fowler College of Business* Evo Nexus* NuFund* Vuori* Rising Tide PartnersConnect on LinkedIn* Neal Bloom This is a public episode.

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book What does it take to go from a broke kid in the Arizona desert to co-founding Priceline.com - the backbone of what became Booking.com, now valued at over $160 billion? Jeff Hoffman didn't follow the script. He invented it. In this episode of the Unemployable Podcast, host Jeff Dudan sits down with serial entrepreneur, Grammy and Emmy award winner, and global impact leader Jeff Hoffman for a wide-ranging conversation that covers the mindset behind building world-changing companies, why the people closest to you may be the biggest threat to your potential, and how a single missed flight turned into a billion-dollar business idea. Jeff breaks down the critical intersection of intent and opportunity, why execution matters infinitely more than ideas, and the one question everyone should ask themselves before it's too late: What is your definition of an epic life? You'll also hear Jeff's honest take on AI and the future of work, why Africa may be the world's most exciting entrepreneurial frontier, and how his World Youth Horizons foundation is changing lives globally - one child at a time. Whether you're a founder, a franchise owner, a dreamer stuck in a cubicle, or someone who needs permission to stop listening to the wrong people - this conversation will challenge how you think about time, ambition, curiosity, and the life you're actually building. ⏱️ Key Moments: 00:01:00 - How a Mark Twain quote in 7th grade set Jeff's entire life direction 00:04:00 - Why 'I'm a grown up' really means 'I give up' 00:07:45 - Creating a job that pays you to travel the world 00:11:00 - We get advice from proximity, not relevance 00:14:00 - The airport kiosk idea that launched everything 00:19:44 - Ideas are welcome, but execution is worshiped 00:25:00 - Michael's lesson: 40 years of living vs. 90 years of waiting 00:31:00 - Building World Youth Horizons and giving children a shot 00:35:00 - AI, robotics, and why plumbers may out-earn surgeons 00:44:00 - Why Nigeria and Africa are the world's hottest entrepreneurial frontier 00:52:00 - How Uber was really built (hint: not by studying taxis) 00:55:00 - The right way to schedule curiosity and rabbit holes 00:56:00 - The to-do list trap and how to escape it 00:59:00 - Jeff's one-sentence life advice Homefront Brands: https://www.homefrontbrands.com Jeff Dudan: https://www.jeffdudan.com Guest Website: https://www.jeffhoffman.com/ Guest Socials: https://www.instagram.com/speakerjeffhoffman/ World Youth Horizons: https://www.worldyouthhorizons.com Global Entrepreneurship Network: https://www.genglobal.org #Entrepreneurship #JeffHoffman #Priceline #StartupMindset #UnemployablePodcast #Mindset #BusinessGrowth #GlobalEntrepreneurship #AIFuture #SuccessHabits Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, I'm busting the myth that you need a huge audience to have a successful launch. I share why a smaller audience can actually be your superpower, especially when you focus on building genuine connection and trust. Through a real client example, I show how a list of just 130 people generated over £10,000 by refining the offer and aligning it with what the audience truly needed. I also walk you through the simple strategies I recommend before, during, and after a launch—from warm-up content and personal outreach to DMs and follow-ups based on engagement data. The key message is that small audiences can convert incredibly well when you lean into personal connection, intentional effort, and learning from post-launch feedback. 3 Key Takeaways: A Small Audience Can Be Your Biggest Advantage With a smaller audience, I can create more personal conversations, deeper trust, and stronger relationships that often lead to higher conversion rates. Manual Connection Drives Launch Success Personal DMs, voice notes, direct follow-ups, and warm conversations can make a huge difference when growing sign-ups and increasing sales. The Launch Doesn't End at Cart Close The feedback I gather from people who didn't buy helps me understand objections, improve messaging, and make the next launch even stronger. LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODE Connect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook, Subscribe to my Youtube Transcript Everyone thinks that you need to have a big audience in order to succeed in the online business. And while I won't disagree, it's a numbers game, it doesn't mean that you can't have a successful launch with a small audience. In today's episode, I'm gonna be sharing with you the things that are your superpower when you have a small audience to help convert more people. If this is the first time that you're seeing me welcome, my name is Teresa Heath Wareing, and I help course creators, membership owners, and coaches grow their online business. After being in the online space and having my own business for 11 plus years, I have seen everything there is to see and have been behind the scenes in some very successful launches. Within my programs, I have helped hundreds of online businesses launch and grow their business. And in these episodes I help to give you some of the strategies, the tools, and the tactics that are working right now in the online space so that you can grow yours As an online business expert, it is remiss of me not to talk about the fact. It is a numbers game. [00:01:00] If you've watched my videos before, if you've listened to the podcast, you know I will talk a lot about expected numbers, and it always starts with that first initial thing of how big is your email list. And then from your email list, a percentage will go onto your launch list and from your launch list, a percentage will buy. And that percentage can seem pretty small. And it is. And often people get very disheartened because they go and do a launch and they don't get as many sales as they would like, and they think that they've done it wrong. And then when they come to me and I ask them their numbers, I actually realized that the percentages are bang on where they should be, or in some cases even better than they should be. And the key thing at the beginning was they didn't have the numbers in the first place to get those bigger numbers. However, I want to talk to you today about how you can still achieve a really successful launch. With a small number on your email list, just like the amazing Rosanna Sanna worked with me where she had put together an offer that didn't feel right, and we tweaked it and changed it, and we made sure that it really [00:02:00] aligned with her, her audience and what she wanted to deliver. We put out her offer in a launch through a challenge to her list of only 130 people, and she managed to finish that launch making over 10,000 pounds from a teeny tiny list. So it is possible, yes, I always want you to grow your audience, but it is possible to make good money from a small audience. And in fact, I'm gonna show you today how it's your superpower. So let's talk about how you can maximize your launch. And I'm gonna be covering off two main areas. Before the launch, IE is you're trying to get people to sign up to your launch experience and then actually selling, because obviously the more people we can get into your launch experience, the better. Okay, so before the launch, what can you do to help maximize as many people in your audience to get onto your launch experience? Well, one of the things I teach is talking about pre-launch content. The more you can warm people up, the better. So if you are literally one day talking about one thing, and then the next day [00:03:00] saying, join my webinar or join my challenge, then it comes a bit out of nowhere. So doing pre-launch warmup, doing content that warms your audience up ready is a really good idea, and I would recommend that to any one of any audience. Size the difference when you have a smaller audience is what I would put in that is some engagement and is some outreach. So during that pre-launch, how can you engage with people that are following you online? Can you start conversations not about come and join my launch, but just genuinely doing good engagement on social media. The second thing you can do is once you actually start talking about your launch. Experience IE your challenge, your bootcamp, your masterclass, whatever it might be, is you can actually go and do personal outreach in your dms to tell people about it. Now, I would say doing this personally is much, much better. Again, if you haven't got a massive audience. That's way easier to do when someone has a bigger audience and they do that. Sometimes someone on their team reaches [00:04:00] out and it just doesn't feel the same. Also, it's a blanket outreach and that doesn't feel nice. Whereas if you are having a conversation with someone and you then happen to say, oh, by the way, I just wanted to check that you'd seen this, or, you know what we were talking about the other day, well, I'm actually gonna be covering it in this. Thing. It's so much better, and the likelihood of them signing up to your launch experience is so much better. The third thing you can do is you can go out to your connections and ask them to share it. I don't do this every time, and I wouldn't necessarily suggest for every single launch unless you have the loveliest connections ever because it's going to wear a bit thin. But if you are just starting and your audience is. Small. Then why not go to the people you know online, your friends, your business colleagues, and say, is there any chance you could share this with your audience? Could you literally just share the post for me or could you talk about it or could you mention it on your stories, whatever it might be. Ask them if they can share it. And like I said, when you've got a smaller audience to get them to help you do that. And the first instance is really, really helpful. And finally, why [00:05:00] not go and ask anybody that you've worked with, if they know anybody that would be good for this masterclass, for this launch experience, for this bootcamp, whatever it is that you are doing. Go and have a conversation with someone that you've previously worked for and said, do you know anybody that you think would be interested in this? And could you refer them to me? So again, these are very manual things, which. Always sound a bit odd when I talk about an online business 'cause it's all about scale. But in the early days, we have to do these things. There's a story about the people that own Airbnb that in the first few years of owning Airbnb, one of the things they identified was the photos weren't very good. So they personally went out and photographed people's places. There's. Talk of the person that owns Uber, of actually going and doing Uber and driving Uber so they can experience what it's like in the early days. Even when the business ends up being massive, they're not working at scale in the early days. They're doing things that can't scale. And the beauty of having a small audience and the beauty of getting started is that you [00:06:00] can do those things. 'cause once you scale. You can't do them as easily. Okay? So those are the four things that you can do to actually get them to sign up to your launch in the first place. So let me recap them for you. So the first thing is doing that pre-launch content, but when you have a smaller...
