What makes something valuable? In the finale, we tell the story of how the De Beers diamond cartel finally cracked—not through courts, but through science. Along the way, we hear from precious-metals expert Kevin DeMeritt, founder of Lear Capital. As lab-grown diamonds erase scarcity and prices collapse, the episode reveals why diamonds followed the same path as pearls, and why true value isn’t built on marketing or belief, but on permanence.

As artificial intelligence accelerates, many leaders, founders, and professionals are quietly asking the same question: Where do I still matter? If machines can write, analyze, summarize, and even "sound" human, what is left that cannot be automated? In this episode of On the Brink, I sat down with branding strategist and neuroscientist-turned-entrepreneur Carey James, co-founder of Brand Alchemy, to explore why a personal brand—not technology—is becoming the defining asset of the future. What emerged was a powerful reframing of branding—not as self-promotion, but as survival. Branding Isn't About Visibility—It's About Trust Carey's journey began in neuroscience labs and academic research, where brilliant minds often remain invisible. In these labs, the work mattered deeply, yet few people beyond their field ever heard about it. That disconnect led him to a simple realization: impact doesn't scale unless people know who you are. Branding, in Carey's view, is not about being flashy or loud. It is about becoming trustable at scale. Human beings evolved to live in tribes. We trusted the hunter, the healer, the builder—not because of logos or résumés, but because we knew who they were. That same ancient wiring still governs modern decision-making. Whether we are choosing a consultant, an executive hire, a keynote speaker, or a company to invest in, the first question is rarely "Is this organization impressive?" It is almost always: Do I trust this person? Your Name Is the Asset—Not the Logo One of Carey's most important insights is deceptively simple: your personal name is likely the most valuable asset you will ever own. Companies come and go. Products evolve. Roles change. But trust attached to your name transfers from project to project. This is why serial entrepreneurs can fail, pivot, and succeed again—while others disappear after one setback. In the age of AI, this becomes even more critical. You will not always be the smartest voice in the room. Algorithms already out-compute us. What they cannot replicate, however, is your lived experience, judgment, pattern recognition, and imperfections. Those human elements—your way of thinking, questioning, connecting ideas—are what create differentiation. The "Label on the Bottle" Problem Most people struggle to articulate their own brand because they are trapped inside it. Carey calls this the label-on-the-bottle syndrome: when you are inside the bottle, you cannot see the label. The solution is not more introspection—it is perspective. Carey encourages leaders to do what great organizations already do through 360-degree reviews: ask others how they experience you. Patterns emerge quickly. Strengths, quirks, values, and stories surface that feel obvious to everyone else—but invisible to you. This external clarity becomes the foundation of an authentic brand, not a manufactured one.

Who is Brian?Brian Parana is no stranger to the turning points that come in midlife. At 42, he's the dedicated husband of his high school sweetheart and the proud father of four—juggling the joys and challenges that come with two high schoolers and two middle schoolers, ages 10 to 15. With 15 years as a self-employed professional and over 23 years in the health industry, Brian has seen firsthand what so many entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders experience: the demands of life and responsibility often sneak up, and self-care takes a back seat. His journey reflects the universal realization that reaching 40, 45, or 50 doesn't always look or feel as expected—prompting him to help others redefine what thriving in midlife can truly mean.Key Takeaways00:00 Avoiding Midlife Crisis: Enhance Life05:05 Finding Balance Amid Life's Chaos08:04 “Rice 72: Three-Day Fat Loss”11:50 “Developing Habits for Growth”13:30 “1% Improvements for Massive Success”17:32 “Health Choices Over Consequences”20:40 Appreciative Farewell Message_________________________________________________________________________________________________Subscribe to our newsletter and get details of when we are doing these interviews live at www.systemise.me/subscribeFind out more about being a guest at : link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/beaguestSubscribe to the podcast at https://link.thecompleteapproach.co.uk/podcastHelp us get this podcast in front of as many people as possible.

Five questions over coffee. I have my coffee monkey here. My guest Brian, Coach Brian Piranha is here with me. He has his coffee with espresso, with.Brian Parana [00:00:49]:Some seltzer water and some oat milk.Stuart Webb [00:00:52]:Coach BRIAN that's a brilliant, brilliant recipe. Thank you for that. So Brian is a, is a, is a health and well being expert, an athlete, now a coach who helps business leaders, people who are trying to run their businesses and forget that they need to remain healthy to run their business, do better with both. So Coach Ryan, welcome to It's Not Rocket Science. Five questions over coffee. Looking forward to this conversation and really looking forward to hearing how you can help us.Brian Parana [00:01:27]:I'm excited to be here. I'm looking forward to our five questions and the insights that I can bring, the value and some ideal takeaways for our guests that are listening in.Stuart Webb [00:01:37]:That's what we want to hear. So let's start with that first question. I like to always start with just give us a little bit of an oversight of the sort of person you're trying to help. What are the problems that they have in their life that might help them identify that you're currently talking to them, right.Brian Parana [00:01:55]:What happens when we reach our mid-40s? There's that term of a midlife crisis, right. I'm 42, I've married my high school sweetheart, we're 19 years in. We have four kids, two high schoolers, two middle schools, three boys and girls, 15 to 10. And I've been self employed for 15 years and been in the health industry for 23 or something. I've seen it time and again. Is that people, business owners, entrepreneurs, leaders, everyone ends up running into this at some point where the responsibilities of their life caught up to them. In a sense, they realize they're not taking care of themselves and their body. And 40, 45, 50 isn't what was expected when they got there, right.Brian Parana [00:02:44]:They're on their way to retirement or they got money in the bank or the house or whatever this stuff, but when they see themselves in the mirror, they just their waistlines expanding. They don't have the confidence in their, their workloads that they once had. There's fatigue, the lack of productivity. They feel half a step behind or maybe in one or two instead. And that's the type of person that I'm coming to the marketplace to meet is to get that priority. Let's not have a midlife crisis where we potentially disrupt some things in life. Let's actually Enhance what life has and be even more productive by taking care of yourself first to then have the energy, the resources, the capacity to keep pace with all the responsibilities that you are now in charge of.Stuart Webb [00:03:35]:So let's talk a little bit about maybe there's somebody out there at the moment thinking, hey, this guy, this guy's talking to me. What do you think they'd be able to recognize in terms of the things they tried? You know, the health kicks that go on, the act, the diet, which constantly never seems to work. I mean, they may even be finding the soul at the moment, sitting there looking at yet another diet book or even some other ways of trying to enhance this. And I think what you're trying to say is that's not always all of the solution, is it?Brian Parana [00:04:06]:No, no, definitely not. Oftentimes we've been taught through marketing, through just literal time for, or the, the, the diet industry really started in the 1980s or so and 90s and, and continued on if you, I, I grew up in that and has infiltrated every single person that I am in association with and what I, who I've worked with for years, restriction. There's these hard protocols that they have to follow. It often lines up with more of a leader type personality where they have to feel that the grind, the hustle. They have things that have to be hard. Those are, they have to cut out, restrict all that. And I've been in a five pound weight range for decades. Obviously it's what I do by profession and I should look and be the part to lead those people.Brian Parana [00:05:05]:But with four kids, with self employment, with all these, these obstacles that just show up in everyday life, there is a way to find some balance. To have some ice cream after a kid's soccer game or after a school event, or have a small sliver of cake at a birthday party because I mean, what weekend do people not have birthdays, especially if they have four kids or something, right? There's just always those opportunities to potentially fall off track and then next, you know, we'll start again on Monday. Well, Stuart, today's Wednesday or Tuesday. It's Tuesday that we're recording this. There's a lot of sloppiness that can, that can be created there and cause you to be setting yourself back a significant amount. We need to find a level of balance of, with some flexibility, some moderation in a way that creates a lifestyle that they can actually live. What we do in two weeks, we do in two months, we do in two years. And finding that balance is so important.Brian Parana [00:06:04]:And that that's where I meet people every single day.Stuart Webb [00:06:09]:And I think you've got a very valid point then Brian, because you know, it's if, if you are having to force yourself into something, if you're telling yourself that you can only achieve this by constant denial, you can only do this by having to go to the gym when you don't really feel, feel like it because you've got other concerns, you've got the family to worry about things like that. It becomes more and more difficult to actually stick with something like this, doesn't it? I mean if the only time you ever get any pleasure is when you get that little bit of ice cream or that small amount of cake at a birthday party and suddenly you deny that, it just becomes impossible to stick to anything that you really, really want to do. You have to link it to something that's more than that, right?Brian Parana [00:06:50]:It's just same thing with business. If you have to grind to grow a business, it's going to fail at some point because whether the motivation, the willpower, the lack of consistently putting out or say a high marketing budget, if you one, one or five months go by and you haven't produced the outcomes to pay for that, now you're in the red and things aren't going well for the business because it's at such a high demand of say accuracy or focus or the ROI needs to be right on point there.Stuart Webb [00:07:26]:So I've got a really. You've got a special offer that I think that the audience is going to be really interested in. This I will be putting into our vault. So if you go to www.systemize.me free stock you, you'll get the details of exactly how Brian can help this coach. Brian, tell us how can you help us to get through some of these problems?Brian Parana [00:07:52]:Yeah, well say the free stuff thing, right? I have a.Stuart Webb [00:07:56]:That's the one. Anything we valuable offers. Valuable free stuff. That's what we want to give to people here. Pay it forward.Brian Parana [00:08:04]:We have a, a we're in the, the mega information, right? Maybe I could coin that. The mega information Time of our lives, right? And with ChatGPT and all you can get a meal plan, you can get a workout, you can do all these things. And what I have, my free stuff would be what I call the rice 72. It's just a three day fat loss protocol that has food, that has nutrition, that has some mindset things to help reset from the brain. Because it all starts here. And in that you get step by step specific things that we know and we've heard so much. But the point is it has to be done. So whether there's email accountability, there's actual text engagement with me as well.Brian Parana [00:08:52]:If you do get the free thing, the Rise 72, you'll be able to have some level of accountability. And that's what I want to bring into my world to. To others is create an experience, a transformative experience. Not just, hey, here's the meal plan that you're supposed to eat, but it's got to be more because nobody I the one of two things. I'm busy. Every single person, I think has always said that. And they usually say it's in all cats B, U S Y with multiple exclamation points after. That's how they describe their life.Brian Parana [00:09:27]:And I get it. I'm busy too. But I still have found a way to prioritize my health.Stuart Webb [00:09:32]:Yeah.Brian Parana [00:09:33]:So let's find a way to do that for you. The other thing is that they. So they're. They're busy and they always want to just jump in with. With both heels, in a sense. And we have to find those small little pivot points to again create that sustainability. And through talking with thousands of people over the last 20 years, so many conversations, we need to. To be able to do the things that we already know we need to do.Brian Parana [00:10:09]:And that's a high level of radical accountability I want to bring to.Stuart Webb [00:10:14]:Yeah. And it's about finding that way of, as you say, prioritizing using the. Using triggers. You know, one of the things I've often heard that.Brian Parana [00:10:22]:Yes.Stuart Webb [00:10:23]:One of the great ways of sort of building your. You're building this sort of thing in as you're talking about mindset is linking it to pleasure. You know, yes, you're going to go for a, for a run, but you're going to go for a run in the outside and listen to your favorite podcast or whatever it is, this podcast. So. And so you actually sort of. And you, you. You have to set yourself up with. The only time I listen to the podcast is when I'm going for the run or when I'm going for the walk.Stuart Webb [00:10:49]:And so that you get that sort of mindset shift. If it's not something hard, it becomes a pleasure to do some of this stuff.Brian Parana [00:10:55]:Right, Exactly. And, and that's a huge gap where people are. An example would be, say, the 75 hard. It's a very strong reset accountability protocol where you have to work out twice a day, you got to drink a gallon of water, you have some you got to read a book. All these things are great. Let's do 75 hard on your own terms. That makes it so that on day 76 or day 2000, you're still doing the things. Yeah, it's my job to help figure that out.Stuart Webb [00:11:28]:Brilliant. Love it. Brian, you've gone to the stage where you understand exactly how this works. Was there a book or a program or something that actually sort of allowed you to understand how to get that sort of mindset, that body work, everything sort of coming together, which is how you explain it to people.Brian Parana [00:11:50]:The book that comes off top of my head is there's so many personal development things I've done. I actually went to Tony Robbins seminars, I was a fire walker, I did it twice. And so many other different certifications and all that. I guess when it all comes said and done, we, we've heard it again a million times. Is that the, the James Clears is a really easy that everyone we know atomic habits. How do we build habits 1% better at a time? We take these small incremental, consistent steps to get us and we consistently keep doing that. And, and the other thing is to understand the analogy that is used in there as well. An ice cube melting at 22 degrees, it's not going to melt.Brian Parana [00:12:36]:At 23, it's not going to melt. At 29, it's not melting. At 32, it might start to melt. At 33, it's melting, it will take a while. At 40, it's melted. It's definitely on its way. And today in Miami in July, it's done melted. You know, the moment it touched the ground, even maybe on the way down to the ground, it's already evaporated because it's so hot.Brian Parana [00:13:00]:And in the beginning of these changes, even just in business, we can tie it back to business since that's who's listening. In the beginning of the business, it was so small and incremental and you didn't see those, those 1 degree changes over time. But then you built that momentum and all of a sudden you have a business with employees and it's successful and all of a sudden you're wow, I don't have time for myself. But that 1% better is going to be the key thing to build consistency into your life.Stuart Webb [00:13:30]:I'm a, I'm a great fan of somebody you may or may not have heard of a guy called David Brailsbridge who was the coach of the Great Britain cycling team. And he was a very great fan of sort of 1% improvements and he was looking at 1% improvement, improvements all the time, which took the British cycling team to the top of the world. And the reason that he did it was because he was looking at tiny, tiny changes every single time they raced, to the extent that he started sending the team out to meetings with their own pillow so that they got a slightly better night's sleep the night before they raced. It really does take tiny, tiny changes to produce a massive result, doesn't it? But it has to be consistent. It has to be continuous. You can't just do it once and then hope it's all gone back to it. You know, it's gonna be easy from that. You make that tiny change, but you have to continue to make that change.Stuart Webb [00:14:22]:You need the accountability to do it.Brian Parana [00:14:24]:Yeah. KPIs for ROIs, right? In the business world, we have those and these SOPs to get to the ROIs that we want to go, but it has to be done every day. Yeah. Same thing in our body. We need to. These are basic. We need to move so much. We need to drink our water, get enough sleep.Brian Parana [00:14:46]:We need to eat healthy food. Those are basic tenets of taking care of yourself and living in a healthy body that's energetic and you feel confident in and you fit in your clothes in. But we let distraction take us away.Stuart Webb [00:15:01]:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brian, there must be one question that you're left at the moment thinking he's still hanging on to the really critical one, that one question that we need to sort of get to get to, and I should ask it, but I obviously don't know what it is. So what is the question that you would have liked me to have asked by now, which I obviously haven't. And then obviously, as you know the answer, you better answer it for us, otherwise it'll never get answered.Brian Parana [00:15:27]:I thought long and hard on this. And what is the true ROI of taking care of yourself and your health?Stuart Webb [00:15:34]:Oh, that is a good question. I like that.Brian Parana [00:15:37]:Huh? I thought about it a little bit. Make sure it was juicy. What is it? People at first just think, oh, I'm at a healthy body weight, or I can. I don't fall asleep in the middle of the day anymore. Or I can be productive at work, or I can go one meeting to the next to the next, or when I come home, I can engage with my family and children. Those are all really important things. But we. One thing is.Brian Parana [00:16:03]:Is say the confidence that you have, if you aren't in a healthy body, then you don't necessarily have the confidence that you think that you're portraying when you go into a meeting, right. Even this is a good old Tony Robbins example. But I'm standing here, but I can take a big deep breath in and, and I can get up here. All of a sudden I'm, I'm just 1% taller in a sense, but I am. It's been multiplied. It's 10x in my energy flow, my breath. I can get oxygen in my lungs and I can start to think clearly. And people notice that and they see it, they can feel that confidence and that energy coming from.Brian Parana [00:16:48]:And, and you don't know that you're walking around like this all day. You might feel the same, but it's, there's a difference. So what does that mean? That means that we can, if the true ROI of a healthy body is better connection with those around in your, your, your family circle, your social circles, how you show up at work and lead. We want that lead. What type of ability are you to be able to produce deals and make things happen in your career? These are all big, big ROIs that can happen. And you don't. The, the thing that you don't see. And I love sharing this with my four kids, especially my oldest right now, because he's teenage for sure, at 15, almost 16.Brian Parana [00:17:32]:But you choose your actions, but you don't choose your consequences. Therefore, if you're not taking care of your health in the 40s, you might have a heart attack by your 50. Hey, I'm so glad that you're retiring as a millionaire or whatever, but you're going to spend all of it on health care and assisted living and having someone wipe your butt because, because you have a disease, right? We have, everyone has lots of problems until they have a significant health problem, then we only have one problem. And everything else fades quickly because you have diabetes, you've had a heart attack, there's a stroke, there's cancer, there's all these, these things that are trying to kill us. And health is the most easy, say, almost free thing to do outside of your time. That you can get a huge ROI for now, but also into the future.Stuart Webb [00:18:24]:That's absolutely brilliant. And if nobody, if nobody takes anything away from this, they should take away the fact that doing something for their future is actually looking after their kids, their grandkids, their great grandkids. You know, you need to be around for those. I'm going to go back. You need to come on to systemize me free. Go find out about what Brian has been talking about, talking to us about today and make sure that you understand exactly how somebody like Brian can really help you to focus, to make sure that you are available to the future. And I'm going to put in my own little request to you, please. I send out an email just, just once a week with who's coming up on the podcast and you can come on and watch the live stream, ask questions.Stuart Webb [00:19:15]:If you want to please come onto the newsletter list. You go to Systemize Me subscribe and that gets you onto the newsletter list and you'll get an email just enabling you to listen to such brilliant advice from people like Coach Brian. Brian, thank you so much for spending a few minutes with us. Really appreciate you taking the time and if I take anything else away from this, I'm going to go and find a way now of going back out for Cycle Ride, which is something I haven't done for a while and that will help me to sort of just live a little bit longer. Yep.Brian Parana [00:19:49]:So, you know, wrapping it up, I have the, the free thing that I'll be given with Stewart is the right 72. It's a three day fat loss protocol. Men and women can do it. And then what the call to rise is is it's a hundred day fat loss transformational experience that really focuses on weekly challenges, quarterly assessment. There are small cohorts of.

In this episode, Rubina Chadha talks about how The Most Valuable Thing You'll Ever Build Is Invisible. Rubina Chadha is the founder of Inner Design, a mindfulness based creative practice that helps leaders, creatives, and high performers regulate stress and reconnect with clarity through breath, presence, and creative awareness. Raised in a deeply spiritual Indian household, Rubina has practiced meditation and yoga since childhood, later blending those roots with her background in fine art, education, and design. With over a decade of experience as a trauma informed professional, educator, and breathwork guide, she supports individuals navigating burnout, decision fatigue, and emotional overload. Her work focuses on practical nervous system regulation that people can feel immediately in how they breathe, think, and make choices.

When I noticed today's guest, Maureen Miller, wearing pearl earrings during her interview, I remembered hearing pearls held meaning for her, so I asked her to tell me about them.Author and speaker Maureen Miller shared that she loves pearls because the adversity - the things we go through, the challenges we face - are similar to the sand that agitates an oyster. A valuable treasure - a pearl - is produced because of the agitation or challenge. And God produces a valuable treasure - us - as a result of the agitations and challenges we face.Maureen shares about the challenges she faced as a teenager and young adult (sexual impurity and an eating disorder), as well as the challenge of learning she would not be able to have children with God performing a miracle.Throughout each of these challenges, Maureen sought God, desiring to follow His will for her life. Notable quotes:* "The oyster is just this creature in the ocean, and a bit of sand gets in there and agitates the oyster. It's uncomfortable and it's not fun, I'm sure. Over time what is produced is this valuable treasure . . . the pearl."* "We were still making choices that were not God's best for us. And as we know, those ungodly choices hold consequences."* "God has us under a protective umbrella when we obey Him, but when we disobey Him it's like we've stepped out from under that umbrella."Bible verses:* Philippians 4:8* Hebrews 13:5* Genesis 2:24* James 1:6* Proverbs 26:11* Psalm 37:4* Hebrews 4:12Maureen's fight verse is Psalm 62:5, which reads, "My soul waits silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him."

What makes something valuable? To find the answer, we tell the story of De Beers — the multinational diamond company that built the most successful monopoly in modern history. Along the way, we speak with Kevin DeMeritt, founder of Lear Capital, one of America’s largest precious-metals firms. What we uncover is striking: many of the things humanity has prized were never inherently valuable at all — their value was manufactured. Presented by The Licorice Guy. What Makes Something Valuable?

In this episode, I talk about Social Softness and why it makes discipline more powerful than ever. Society is getting softer—people avoid stress, comfort rules, and discipline feels optional. But that's exactly why discipline becomes a superpower: it's rare, valuable, and separates you from the crowd. I explain how staying disciplined builds your foundation and why it's more important now than ever. This is about showing up, even when the world around you is taking the easy way out. Show Notes: [02:48]#1 Discipline is now a market inefficiency. [12:38]#2 Discipline is now a competitive advantage, not just a positive personal virtue, which is what it used to be.  [16:59]#3 Soft people make problems bigger. Disciplined people make problems smaller.  [19:09] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3224: Men: Stop Being Pussies Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced.

Jason and Michael Zuber identify health, mobility, and relationships as three vital assets that hold more value than financial wealth. They emphasize that while money acts as a magnifier of existing habits, it cannot compensate for a body that has been neglected or injured through high-stress lifestyles or extreme physical activities. Drawing parallels to investing strategies, they advocate for consistent, low-risk discipline over "home run" efforts that often lead to physical or financial setbacks. The conversation also explores the value of social networks, suggesting that maintaining a broad range of "weak ties" can provide more practical opportunities than relying solely on a small circle of deep friendships. Ultimately, they conclude that individuals should prioritize their well-being early in life, as recovering one's physical and social vitality becomes significantly more difficult with age. https://onerentalatatime.com/    #MobilityMatters #Relationships #Investing #WealthBuilding #HealthyHabits #PhysicalFitness #Networking #WeakTies #MetcalfesLaw #Mastermind #SuccessMindset #StayMobile #LifeBalance #PersonalGrowth #JasonHartman #WealthAdvice #InjuryPrevention #ActiveLifestyle #HolisticWealth #BeyondMoney #SocialCapital #NetworkEffect #PatienceInInvesting #SlowAndSteady #LongTermWealth #Wellness #HealthyAging #communitybuilding Key Takeaways: Key Takeaways: 0:00 3 Things more important than money 1:07 #1 Health 5:15 #2 Mobility 9:47 Do the boring stuff 10:54 #3 Relationships and "weak ties"     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

AI adoption is accelerating and it feels harder and harder to keep up. I know many senior leaders feel confused by the rapid pace and college grads are worried about their careers. What skills do we need to stay relevant in this new “All-AI” world? Well there's an answer to all this change, and it gets back to the five fundamental principles of your own professional learning. In this episode, I unpack the five fundamental things to “learn” as the AI world accelerates at a quickening pace. I do believe we're barely in the first inning of this bold new world, so it won't be your “skills” but rather your mindset, approach, and attitudes that keep you ahead and valued in the AI world ahead. Stay tuned for out big 2026 Imperatives launch on January 21 where we'll unpack the mandates for our companies and careers in the coming year.

This episode features DeAndre's guest appearance on GeoBreeze Travel Podcast, hosted by Julia Menez. In this conversation, DeAndre revisits the most impactful lessons from the first year of Revolutionizing Your Journey, highlighting practical points-and-miles strategies pulled directly from the show's most popular episodes. Topics include maximizing everyday spending through shopping portals, choosing the right cards based on real data, avoiding common beginner pitfalls, and using simple tools to decide when to pay cash versus points.The episode also weaves in personal travel experiences and redemptions that shaped the show's early direction, offering a clear snapshot of the podcast's travel philosophy. For newer listeners, this serves as a guided recap of key episodes worth revisiting, all conveniently linked in the show notes. And while new recordings are paused during the honeymoon, behind-the-scenes travel moments continue on Instagram—from lie-flat business-class seats to luxury lounges and unforgettable destinations.Key Highlights:Points with purpose: Strong financial habits create the foundation for sustainable travel rewards.Transferable points matter: Flexibility unlocks better redemptions and more destinations.Shopping portals are a force multiplier: Everyday purchases can dramatically accelerate point balances.Data beats guesswork: Card recommendations backed by real spending patterns outperform generic advice.Family travel requires a different strategy: Status benefits and flexibility matter more with larger groups.Avoid analysis paralysis: Perfect redemptions aren't required to create meaningful trips.Tools simplify decisions: Flight comparison plugins and tracking apps remove friction from planning.Buying points can make sense—strategically: Timing and redemption planning determine real value.Status tracking is critical: Missing bonuses or miscalculating limits can erase months of effort.Action creates memories: Points deliver value only when they're redeemed.Episodes mentioned in this guest appearance:Ep. 8 - Unleashing the Power of Lux Travel Hacks with Andy CantuEp. 25 - How to Use Points & Miles to Plan Around-the-World Travel with the Point Sisters Ep. 32 - Maximizing Points and Miles Travel Rewards and Avoiding Pitfalls with Ryan Horn aka @profitsandpoints Ep. 38 - Points or Cash?

RETHINKING BORDERS AND THE ECONOMIC NECESSITY OF HUMAN MOBILITY Colleague Gaia Vince. Vince argues that while humans have migrated for hundreds of thousands of years, modern borders currently restrict the world's most valuable economic resource: human labor. She suggests that removing these barriers could significantly boost global GDP, noting that current restrictions are ill-suited for a world facing climate catastrophe. As the Global North faces a demographic crisis with aging populations, Vince asserts these nations need immigrants to sustain their economies. She advocates for managing migration through "social investment" and inclusivity rather than brutality, ensuring that new arrivals are viewed as assets rather than threats.

At the 2025 Via Licensing Alliance Bridge Summit in San Francisco, Brian Dorini, Senior Director at Dolby, and Tyrome Brown, Dolby's Chief Patent Counsel, offered a clear-eyed look at the state of patent pools and the shifting realities of the global SEP ecosystem. Far from being outdated structures, both emphasized that pools remain essential tools for enabling collaboration, reducing friction, and supporting meaningful innovation — even amid regulatory uncertainty.Dorini described patent pools as “great democratizers of technology,” helping both licensors and implementers navigate increasingly complex standards environments. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, he noted that pools are evolving in response, finding new ways to balance transparency with practical, market-driven licensing solutions.Brown expanded on this theme from Dolby's internal perspective. He outlined how Dolby ensures the strength and essentiality of its patent portfolio — through direct participation in standards development, rigorous internal analysis, and independent evaluations. These processes, he explained, are critical not only for maintaining high-quality SEP assets but for building trust across the licensing market.Both speakers also pointed forward. As Dolby's technologies extend into areas such as wireless power, EV charging, and other emerging platforms, the role of patent pools is likely to expand. While the fundamental structure of pools may remain consistent, their scope and global influence continue to grow, driven by new implementers, new licensors, and new technological frontiers.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Becca Zanders, Certified Exit Planning Advisor, explains why most auto repair shop owners are unprepared for an exit—and how to change that. Only 20–30% of businesses that go to market actually sell, and nearly half of those sales are forced by the “Five Ds”: Death, Divorce, Disability, Disagreement, or Distress. Becca introduces the Value Acceleration Methodology, which reframes exit planning into three stages: Discover the business's true value and the owner's readiness, Prepare the leader, finances, and organization to accelerate value, and Decide whether to grow or sell. A key distinction is the difference between a profitable lifestyle business and a business built for value. The conversation stresses the importance of closing the “wealth gap,” as most owners underestimate retirement needs and have the majority of their net worth trapped in their business. Personal readiness is equally critical, with many sellers regretting the sale because they failed to define their purpose beyond ownership. Advice to shop owners: build the right advisory team and start advancing your business today, long before a sale is forced.

In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller explore why every entrepreneur is born unique, how your experiences continually shape that uniqueness, and how doubling down on it leads to greater freedom, happiness, and business success. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How to strengthen and continually reinforce your passion.What actually grows and develops your uniqueness every day.What gets created when two people collaborate.How AI is multiplying individuality and adding even more variety to the world.  Show Notes: Every person is born with a Unique Ability®, and that's the central starting point for all Strategic Coach® thinking. Your entire life is a process of navigating and giving meaning to the uniqueness of your own experience. As an individual, you are constantly reinforcing a central set of interests and capabilities through every experience you choose. When you go deep with anyone, you quickly discover they're far more unique than you initially assumed. Hundreds of times a day, you're sorting experiences into “more of this, less of that,” steadily clarifying what matters most to you. Entrepreneurs are the people who have bet the most on the thing they're uniquely and intensely interested in. To operate in the world, everyone has to learn a basic level of conformity—showing up, keeping promises, and finishing what they start. Thanks to technology, individuals now have more freedom than ever to pursue and deepen their own interests.​ Whatever someone is passionate about becomes the center of their universe, and they keep reinforcing it by seeking aligned experiences. You're always looking for experiences that make your passion and Unique Ability even more central and valuable in your life. Powerful collaboration happens when people find shared interests where each can bring their own Unique Ability to create a “third thing” together. Resources: Unique Ability® Perplexity Who Not How by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

Dr. K unpacks what it means to feel like “the goober” in your friend group. The person who gets invited, but it doesn't really matter if you show up. Starting from a brutal birthday story where nobody came, he shows how overgiving, bribing people with effort, and constantly trying to be “worth inviting” actually keep you stuck on the edge of every group. Being on the periphery isn't a diagnosis, but it can wreck your self-esteem and make you feel forgettable even when you technically have friends. He then breaks down the science of social networks and what actually moves you toward the center of a group. Instead of clinging to one friend circle and making yourself small with self-deprecating humor, he explains how to build more connections, become the “in between” person who links groups, and stop hiding your strengths. Dr. K gives both big-picture strategies and small behavior changes so you can be respected, remembered, and valued instead of feeling like the tagalong. Topics include: What it really means to feel like a “goober” in social groups Clinging behaviors that keep you stuck on the edge of friend circles Why overinvesting in one group rarely gets you more respect Eigenvector centrality and how “social gravity” actually works Forming weak ties and turning them into strong, meaningful connections Becoming the bridge between different groups to raise your status How self-deprecating humor and playing small lower your social value Why showing your real skills and expertise changes how people treat you HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

5/8. Guano, Tragedy, and the Rise of Intensive Farming — Steven Moss — Moss discusses seabird guano (nutrient-rich droppings), first recognized as a valuable resource by the Incas and subsequently monetized by William Gibbs, who accumulated immense wealth trading guano from arid Peruvian islands. Moss emphasizes that guano harvesting occurred under tragic human conditions, with Chinese indentured laborers frequently dying during extraction operations. Mossnotes that declining guano availability stimulated the invention of synthetic fertilizers by Haber and Bosch, catalyzing the emergence of intensive chemical agriculture. Moss documents that high-intensity chemical farming, despite enabling global food production, precipitated catastrophic declines in bird and insect populations, a phenomenon extensively documented in Rachel Carson's seminal work Silent Spring. 1880
