Build a Marketing "Vending Machine": A Predictable System for Leads & Clients Pat Rigsby explains the concept of creating a marketing "vending machine"—a predictable system where you invest in a front-end marketing process and reliably generate leads and clients. He outlines the steps: identify exactly who you want to serve and the problems/goals they have; determine where those people are so you can place your message in the highest-traffic locations (online or offline); create a simple, desire-based introductory asset (such as a book, guide, or lead magnet) followed by an experiential front-end offer, with a preference for free offers to reduce friction and get people through the door. Once you capture contact information, build a robust follow-up system to create brand awareness, familiarity, and know-like-trust, then present a clear offer focused on outcomes and the reasons people struggle to achieve or maintain results. He emphasizes delivering results, building deeper influence once clients are "under your roof," and moving them into an ongoing program. Pat encourages replacing episodic, tactic-by-tactic marketing with this consistent pipeline for stability, freedom, and wealth-building, and invites viewers to email pat@patrigsby.com for help through his Marketing Machine partner program. 00:00 Create Your Own Marketing "Vending Machine" (Intro) 00:10 The Origin Story: Dean Jackson's Vending Machine Concept 01:42 Step 1: Define Who You Serve & What They Want 03:09 Step 2: Put the Machine Where the People Are 04:19 Step 3: Build a Two-Step Intro Offer (Desire → Experience) 05:10 Why Free Front-End Offers Work (Getting Them Through the Door) 06:52 Follow-Up System: Know, Like, Trust on Autopilot 07:33 Convert to the Core Program: Deliver Outcomes & Retain Clients 09:04 Make It Predictable: Percentages, Pipeline, and Consistency 10:20 Wrap-Up + How to Get Help Building Your Marketing Machine

Tuck shops from the future!

Rev. Jodi Suson, Suson Essentials, Self-Cell Care welcomes Mariquita Solis of Uncaged Heart Coaching. Many successful men are winning at the office but drowning at home. They've spent decades perfecting a "Billboard" of strength, only to find their internal "Manufacturing Plant" is in a supply chain crisis. Mariquita Solis is The Uncaged Heart Coach, and she is here to audit the "Robot" lifestyle. In this interview, we dismantle the "Vending Machine" logic of modern marriage and expose the childhood survival programs that keep men trapped in the "Man Box." This isn't about being "soft"—it's about Integrated Strength. It's time to retire the armor, resolve the core wound of shame, and reclaim the fire of a truly existential life.   Host: Rev. Jodi L. Suson - www.susonessentials.com Guest: Mariquita Solis: https://uncaged-heart.com/      

As remarkable as it sounds, there were many in Isaiah's day who looked to God the way we might look at a vending machine.  Isaiah records their muttering for us.  “‘Why have we fasted,' they say, ‘and you have not seen it?  Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?'”  Instead of kicking a vending machine they were shaking their fist at God.  They felt cheated. Now think of how easy it is for us, in our worship, to do the same. But take a look at the remarkable reminder that God shared with them next. Jesus, who is "very God of very God" is so much more than a vending machine.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada cover a vending machine in Delhi stocked with underwear. The viral clip had people laughing, sharing, and even brainstorming what else future vending machines could carry. Then, in the U.S., President Donald Trump faces fierce backlash after posting a video that edited Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, sparking bipartisan outrage and raising questions about accountability in the age of social media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Forest moved to Montana knowing nobody, started a small wholesale snack distribution business, and quickly scaled it to $50K+ months with no employees and no vending machines. We walked through how he went from selling pastries in Colorado to building a high-margin jerky and candy route serving nearly 100 stores, why this model beats vending machines, and how simple relationship-based selling can outperform “passive” side hustles. Forest shares real numbers, startup costs, margins, and exactly how he lands accounts without contracts or cold email. This is one of those businesses that's hiding in plain sight.You can find Forest Coughtry on YouTube at Coughtry Wholesale, where he documents building and scaling his distribution business step by step.https://www.skool.com/@forest-coughtry-1344Enjoy! ---Watch this on YouTube instead here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tkopod.co/p-yt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ask me a question on or off the show here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-ask⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-cjk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn about my company: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-cof⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Twitter here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-x⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free weekly business ideas newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-nl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Share this podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-all⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scrape small business data: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://tkopod.co/p-os⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---

In Episode 337, Myka and Steve discuss the power of the "upsell" and why every entrepreneur needs to look for ways to turn liabilities into assets. Steve shares stories from his two-week trip to Mexico, including a surprising business lesson from a local barbershop that sparked a larger conversation on maximizing revenue in the real estate space.The guys debate the logistics of adding vending machines to PadSplits and whether the extra cash flow is worth the management. They also explore the "4-3-2-1" method for young investors to reach financial independence and Steve's potential venture into high-end "crash pads" for airline professionals. Finally, Micah explains why mastering technical skills like AI prompt engineering is the ultimate career insurance for today's economy.In this episode, we discuss:➡️The Mexican Barbershop Lesson: How a small hustle in Guadalajara turns every customer into ten sales.➡️Vending Machines in PadSplits: Discussing the potential for energy drinks and snacks to boost revenue.➡️The "4-3-2-1" Method: A roadmap for building a 9-door portfolio with minimal down payments.➡️High-End Crash Pads: Steve's look into seller-financed properties for pilots and flight attendants.➡️AI as Career Insurance: Why honing your AI skills is the best backup plan for any professional.➡️Freedom, Option, and Choice: The true meaning of financial independenceConnect with the Live Let Thrive Team For episode updates, networking opportunities, and more resources, visit our official website or reach out via email.

She introduces the concept of the 'vending machine' dynamic, where the toxic person only engages when they need something, leading to emotional abuse and control. Dr. Heidi emphasizes the importance of recognizing these patterns and taking steps to protect oneself from falling into the vending machine trap. Take the Toxicity Profile Analysishttps://coachingwithdrheidi.base44.app/

Why do we follow Jesus? Is it because we believe He will make our lives easier, more comfortable, or more successful? Many people approach faith like a transaction—do something good, attend church, give an offering, and expect blessings in return. But is that really what it means to follow Jesus?

A smart home vacuum goes bankrupt and suddenly the maps of your living room might be someone else's asset—that's where we start, and the questions only get sharper from there. We dig into iRobot's Chapter 11, the failed Amazon deal, and why a China-linked manufacturer gaining access to device data should force a hard reset on how we think about ownership, privacy, and consent in consumer hardware.From there, we test the limits of AI in the wild. Anthropic's “Project Vend” handed a real vending machine to a cutting-edge model; within days it was giving away inventory, ordering wine, and falling for fake board directives. It's a masterclass in social engineering, governance gaps, and how quickly “autonomy” becomes “anarchy” when authority boundaries aren't airtight. Then we turn to an even uglier misuse: Grok's image editing feature enabling non-consensual sexualized images, including minors. We lay out pragmatic safeguards—consent gates, watermarking, provenance, and robust content filters—that should have been table stakes.We keep it human too. Our whiskey segment pits a DIY three-bottle blend against a 100-proof control pour, and the tasting becomes a metaphor for product strategy: great components still need intent and balance. With that palate set, we go bold on 2026 predictions: Facebook's staying power, whether Microsoft finally buys social, a potential “Steam Machine” console push, AR glasses missing mainstream again, cloud gaming's surge toward a majority share, Disney Plus flirting with a vault strategy, and the cyber risk that could ground an airport. Along the way we call for retiring tired buzzwords and reviving tech that actually serves people.If you're into technology that touches real lives—privacy in your home, AI in your office, content on your screen, and resilience in your infrastructure—you'll find plenty to argue with and plenty to take away.

Rich Zeoli sits in for Dana. An independent citizen journalist goes viral for exposing the massive fraud in Minnesota's daycare system. Gov. Tim Walz ignores questions about the Billions in fraud that is happening under his watch. Democrats are already planning to impeach Trump if they take over power. An experiment is conducted involving an AI office vending machine at the Wall Street Journal office that ended up giving in to ridiculous demands including staging a coup against their boss and losing hundreds in profits. President Trump hosts Zelensky following his phone call with Putin. Is there an end in sight? The FBI announces their investigation into the Minnesota daycare fraud scandal. A Somali on TikTok says people who are concerned about the scandal have no life and are depressed.

In this episode, we look at what happens when artificial intelligence is put in charge of real-world systems, starting with an experiment in automated pricing and what it reveals about incentives, scarcity, and control. We turn to Denmark's decision to shut down its national postal service, using it to examine the decline of physical mail, environmental tradeoffs, and why government monopolies struggle to compete with private delivery. We highlight the week's “foolishness,” including the rise of competitive spreadsheet championships, before turning to a broader discussion about inequality. We examine IQ distributions, bell curves, and why inequality is often confused with poverty, exploring the limits of measures like the Gini coefficient, the difference between snapshot and lifetime earnings, and the role of incentives, envy, and value creation. We close by contrasting equality of opportunity with equality of outcome and asking what societies should actually care about when assessing fairness and prosperity. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:27 AI Runs a Vending Machine at the Wall Street Journal 01:52 When AI Meets Communism and Price Controls 03:52 Why AI Isn't Replacing Humans Anytime Soon 04:32 Denmark Shuts Down Its Postal Service 06:11 Is Physical Mail Environmentally Absurd? 07:39 Why the Postal Service Can't Compete 11:43 The Foolishness of the Week: Excel World Championships 13:25 Are Spreadsheets More Important Than Football? 15:08 Main Topic Setup: Should We Care About Inequality? 16:13 IQ, Bell Curves, and Random Distributions 23:05 Why Inequality Is Not the Same as Poverty 25:36 The Gini Coefficient and Its Limits 28:57 Sports, Superstars, and Value Creation 38:00 Taxes, Transfers, and the Illusion of Inequality 41:57 Lifetime Earnings vs Snapshot Inequality 45:14 Equality of Opportunity vs Equality of Outcome 49:30 Envy, Incentives, and Human Motivation 53:38 Closing Thoughts on Inequality and Society Learn more about your ad choices.

A Kiwi classic with added convenience. Rotorua has its first hot pie vending machine, stocked with the famous Maketū Pies. All ten varieties are on offer in the machine, which sits just outside the I-site and besides the Redwoods Treewalk. General Manager Craig Williams told Heather du Plessis-Allan the site was selected for visibility, with around 700,000 tourists passing through per day. He says a lot of international tourists are looking for a hot pie as part of their Kiwi experience, and the novelty of the machine will capture attention.
