How to Buy Businesses Through Real Estate | Brett Tanner breaks down how Brett built wealth by treating business and investing like a math game—then scaling into multiple real-estate-adjacent companies. He shares his early lessons from flipping homes in Phoenix, the costly restaurant mistake that taught him due diligence, and the "adjacent revenue" strategy behind owning lending, title, insurance, and other transaction-based businesses. Brett explains how he evaluates deals (jockey-first, noise, moat, and 3-year profit targets), why alignment and profit-based compensation matter, and what top operators do differently when it comes to leadership, KPIs, and underwriting to win in tougher markets. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

The dominant structural mechanism highlighted is the industry-wide shift toward liability transfer and governance gaps in AI procurement, deployment, and incident response. According to Dave Sobel, both vendors and organizations are accelerating AI adoption without corresponding investments in oversight, training, or clear accountability structures. This is reflected across multiple sectors, from software vendors such as Grammarly, Eightfold.ai, Cohesity, and Rubrik, to business leaders and policymakers, where risk is systematically deferred downstream rather than managed at the point of adoption. The most consequential evidence is the quantitative disconnect between stated AI priorities and functional oversight. Research cited by Dave Sobel from Economist Impact and HR Dive found that while 38% of organizations budget for AI and 86% of executives rate AI as essential, only 16% offer internal training and over half of department-level AI initiatives lack formal oversight (Ernst & Young). Additionally, 88% of AI vendors limit their liability, and only 17% align with regulatory compliance, per cited surveys, leaving substantial legal and operational risk for end users and service providers. Supporting this trend, Dave Sobel points to Grammarly's opt-out identity usage in new features and a class action lawsuit against Eightfold.ai regarding AI-driven employment decisions. Vendors such as Cohesity, Rubrik, ServiceNow, and Datadog are responding by building tools focused on remediation and recovery from AI-driven incidents, underscoring a shift from preventive governance to reactive containment. Policy moves—such as expanded operational cyber roles for the private sector—further offload accountability without addressing contractual and insurance exposure. For MSPs and technology leaders, these developments create practical risks: unclear service scope around AI tool usage in contracts, increased exposure to billable incidents and legal action, and rising labor costs for incident recovery. Service providers must audit agreements for AI-specific language, distinguish AI-related incidents from standard SLAs, and treat AI governance as a managed risk service. The pressure will increasingly fall on MSPs to account for training gaps, audit trails, compliance attestations, and recovery procedures—not simply the technology itself.

A structural shift is occurring in the managed IT services landscape as AI capabilities are rapidly embedded across enterprise applications, with oversight and risk management functions increasingly separated out and monetized as add-on services. Vendors, including Microsoft and OpenAI, are deploying AI agents in essential tools such as Outlook, Teams, and Excel, then selling governance, security, and compliance capabilities as additional paid layers. The core mechanism is the transfer of operational and liability risk downstream to IT service providers and their clients, while ownership of the control plane and margin on risk mitigation remain with the vendors. The episode highlights consequential findings regarding AI reliability and adoption. A Nature Medicine study found that OpenAI's ChatGPT Health underestimated emergency severity in 51.6% of cases, prompting concerns about overreliance on AI for critical decisions. Additionally, Confluent's UK executive survey indicated that 62% of organizations are already shifting decision-making to AI, but only 7% have a company-wide AI strategy, and fewer than half of executives and employees agree on actual daily AI usage. Most leaders receive little formal AI training yet are second-guessing their own judgment in favor of AI output. Further reinforcing the governance gap, Microsoft is launching Agent 365 and new enterprise security tiers, while OpenAI's acquisition of Promptfoo signals a focus on AI reliability testing and compliance monitoring. Funding for GRC platforms like IntelliGRC demonstrates capital flowing into third-party oversight solutions. The recurring pattern is vendors first pushing broad agent adoption, then introducing and monetizing governance as a discrete add-on, often outside the default package. Operationally, MSPs and IT leaders face increased liability exposure if they rely on vendor-native governance without independent audit or measurement capability. The absence of industry-standard reliability metrics for AI, combined with the perception and usage gaps inside organizations, calls for MSPs to lead in auditing, documenting, and independently measuring AI usage and performance. Failing to proactively manage these controls can result in silent risk absorption and unfavorable positioning as vendors bundle compliance and pass residual risk downstream to service providers.

Bobby just released a powerful new book called "The Next Chapter Starts Now—A Playbook for Reinvention, Renewal, & Real Life Progress" and in this conversation he shares the real framework he's used to help high performers navigate major life transitions. This isn't just another motivational pep talk. It's about building structure, asking the hard questions, and creating the clarity needed to move forward when life feels stuck or misaligned. If you've ever found yourself asking, "Is this it?" or "What's next for me?" or "How do I change direction without blowing up my life?"—this episode is for you. Bobby drops some serious wisdom and practical tools that will help you rethink where you are and start designing where you want to go next. In this episode, we talk about: • Why motivation is a terrible long-term strategy and what actually creates lasting change. • The difference between being successful vs. truly aligned in your life and career. • How to know when you're experiencing burnout… or simply outgrowing your environment. • Why that feeling of restlessness might actually be a signal that growth is calling. • The power of asking the right questions to create clarity and momentum. • Why your environment and the people around you play a huge role in the next level of your life. • Bobby's incredible story about how his coaching style even helped President George W. Bush run one of his fastest treadmill 5Ks. • The importance of structure, discipline, and micro-wins when creating your next chapter. • Real-life stories of people who have made powerful life pivots at 40, 50, 60 and beyond. My friends, here's the truth: your next chapter isn't something that magically appears one day. It's something you decide to step into.

The dominant structural shift identified centers on liability allocation and governance in the context of agentic AI deployment across IT and managed services. The episode underscores how automation is moving beyond content generation to direct operational and security actions, referencing technology from OpenAI (GPT-5.3 Instant), Anthropic (Claude Marketplace), Google Workspace CLI, Microsoft's SharePoint AI features, and Hexnode's Genie AI. Vendors are embedding AI deeper into productivity and endpoint infrastructure, increasing both operational efficiency and the risk footprint—making governance, reliability, and accountability the new competitive differentiators. The most consequential development highlighted is the industry-wide disconnect between rapid AI remediation adoption and lagging governance. According to Omdia, 88% of organizations are using AI-driven remediation, but only 44% have implemented it for most exposure types, and nearly half (49%) of security teams lack trust in these systems. IBM data shows that 63% of organizations lack formal AI incident response policies, meaning deployment often outpaces the development of auditability and risk management. This creates a landscape where automated decisions are taken at scale without clear accountability structures or incident protocols. Supporting developments reinforce these governance and risk concerns. Reports of cognitive fatigue—termed “AI brain fry”—affecting over 14% of users (Boston Consulting Group/UC Riverside) and a 39% increase in error rates among those affected, point to compounding human and system risk when automation outpaces oversight. Market analysis from Accenture, Wharton, and the Dallas Fed notes that AI has shifted skill demand, displaced younger tech workers, and pressured traditional fixed-fee business models. Meanwhile, vendors are migrating from predictable per-seat pricing to variable token-based consumption, passing operational uncertainty onto MSPs and their clients. For MSPs, IT service providers, and technology leaders, the practical implications are clear. Failure to implement explicit governance, contract clauses, and incident protocols exposes providers to unpredictable liability. Passing through ungoverned consumption costs under fixed-contracts damages margins as AI use expands. The increasing cognitive load on staff supervising partially trusted automation further compounds operational risk. As the pricing model shifts, providers must negotiate new contract terms, institute AI incident playbooks, audit tool autonomy, and manage the blast radius of AI with the same rigor as legacy security controls. 00:00 Platform Land Grab 03:56 Who Owns Failure 07:27 Skills Over Titles 09:52 Why Do We Care?

As Ghana marks its 69th Independence Day, the demand for Ghana jerseys has surged across markets. Vendors say sales have increased sharply, but prices have also gone up. Is it patriotism, celebration, or just a seasonal trend? Vendors and citizens share their views on the rising demand and cost
Research presented by Dave Sobel and Anurag Agarwal highlights a steep decline in profitability for core MSP services, driven by heightened commoditization and vendor-led automation of basic offerings such as endpoint management and help desk operations. According to Techaisle's 2026 data, the traditional labor-plus-license model is no longer sustainable, as shrinking margins force service providers to reconsider foundational strategies. The central message underscores an urgent need for MSPs to prioritize proprietary intellectual property (IP) and vertical-specific solutions—not for incremental growth, but as a matter of operational survival. Supporting this assessment, the discussion details how market demand has shifted: MSPs can no longer depend on generic solutions but must differentiate with specialized, repeatable offerings that address the financial optimization and liability concerns of business clients. The data indicates that SMBs are increasingly unwilling to invest in pilots or “all-you-can-eat” AI models without visible ROI and demand concrete solutions linked to business outcomes. Vendors and MSPs alike are being tasked with providing smaller, outcome-focused wins and developing skillsets in agentic orchestration, where AI-enabled digital agents and human technicians operate as co-equal components of the workforce. A related trend explored is the shift toward agentic AI and “zero-touch” MSP models, featuring automation of routine IT tasks and focus on workflow engineering rather than manual services. However, the episode notes that most providers are unprepared for the new set of risks and governance liabilities: as clients increasingly utilize AI agents, accountability for errors and regulatory compliance will rest heavily with MSPs, especially in sensitive geographies such as Europe where contractual governance is becoming standard. Conversations on whether to “build or buy” new capabilities reflect a split market, with only the top tier capable of meaningful in-house development, and the majority relying on third-party platforms with limited differentiation. For MSPs, IT service firms, and decision-makers, the core implication is the need to rapidly develop operational and governance maturity around automation, AI orchestration, and packaged offerings. Clinging to traditional models or treating AI as a mere add-on introduces significant risk, including shrinking margins, increased liability, and potential obsolescence. Providers are advised to narrow focus, specialize in vertical solutions, invest in internal competency with AI-enabled platforms, and shift toward packaged IP to avoid falling behind as both client expectations and regulatory requirements escalate.
Voluntary communication from the vendor is a display of good stewardship in action. Customers want to know that their money is being spent wisely. Vendors demonstrate good stewardship by sending voluntary information designed to educate, inform and equip customers with helpful updates about their transaction. Do you want more repeat and referral business? Courtesy communication is a great tool to help you achieve that goal.Support the show

The MSP market is undergoing a critical shift toward risk management as the central value proposition, with operational accountability now defined by the ability to produce defensible documentation and deliver rapid incident response. According to Dave Sobel, MSPs are no longer primarily offering stack management, but are increasingly brokering risk through cyber warranties, insurance underwriting, incident retainers, and AI governance frameworks. Those unable to support their claims with evidence and formal processes risk becoming mere facilitators for third-party terms and losing control over their margins. Recent developments reinforce this shift. A Splunk report finds that nearly all CISOs now view AI governance and risk management as their responsibility, citing threat actor sophistication as a primary driver. AI is assisting with event triage and data correlation, but verification—especially around AI-generated content—is unreliable, with detection tools struggling against advanced fakes. Insurance mechanisms are becoming productized with prioritized incident response, and legal intelligence is being embedded into MSP workflows. Vendors like N-able, Monjur, SentinelOne, and DocuSign are directly integrating financial, legal, and governance functions into their offerings, fundamentally altering client and vendor relationships. Adjacent stories illustrate volatility in traditional safeguards and the operational reality of adaptive threats. CISA leadership changes indicate instability in public response institutions. AI-powered malware exemplifies the challenge: ESET's PromptSpy uses Gemini to continuously adapt its persistence, outpacing static detection models. Insurance underwriters are increasingly demanding machine-verifiable evidence of controls, using detailed questionnaires to distinguish autonomous AI from marketing claims. The risk is no longer just technical; it is structural. For MSPs and IT leaders, operational posture is now shaped by an ecosystem of embedded warranties, legal terms, governance requirements, and adaptive threats. The ability to document, defend, and productize risk controls becomes a baseline for credibility and insurance eligibility. Failure to build evidence pipelines and clarify vendor-imposed liabilities exposes service providers to compounded risk. The practical implication is a necessity for MSPs to treat governance and detection as measurable, documented capabilities—not assumptions or routine paperwork.

In How TV Leads Print Big Checks, the host dives into a high-volume real estate business built on TV, PPC, and direct mail with Green Bay investor Corey Reyment. Corey breaks down how shifting from network marketing to real estate set the foundation for 220+ deals a year, 130+ rentals, and a lean wholesale operation that stays profitable in a fluctuating market. He shares how belly-to-belly appointments, transparent seller reviews, and third-party inspections build trust, why direct mail currently delivers the best ROI, and how TV consistently drives the highest volume of motivated sellers. From market shifts and deal size to hiring, masterminds, profit per hour, and even using AI to coach call reps—this episode shows exactly how strategic lead generation can print big checks and build real wealth. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

Manufactured Homes Are the Future | Eric Granillo breaks down why modern manufactured housing is one of the most overlooked opportunities in real estate investing today. Eric Granillo shares how today's manufactured homes meet high construction standards, qualify for FHA, VA, and conventional financing, and can be built faster and cheaper than stick-built homes. He explains the full turnkey model his team runs—from land acquisition and permits to setup and resale—why affordable housing demand is exploding nationwide, the biggest mistakes investors make with land and sizing homes, and how his family-run operation is scaling into new markets while changing long-held misconceptions about manufactured housing. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

In this episode, we speak with Frank and Laura Pasquini, owners of Maker's Marketplace at 900 in the iconic 900 building in Kingston. They describe the boutique-style marketplace featuring 40–50 mostly local NEPA vendors offering handmade and vintage goods, including candles, soaps, ceramics, jewelry, art, and more. Vendors rent and manage their own spaces while the store handles sales and marketing. Laura shares her background in Etsy and laser engraving, the challenge of curating vendors and rotating inventory, and highlights their kid-focused "mini makers" section. They also discuss the "splatter room," a sensory-friendly paint-throwing experience used for sessions and parties, with upcoming glow-in-the-dark options, plus major building events like Deck the Halls and a planned Spring Social.If you or someone you know wants to be featured in our next podcast, message us on Facebook!
Two weeks ago on Reimagining Cyber, we explored how agentic AI could become the next major security choke point. Since then, things have escalated.Enterprises are restricting — even banning — AI agents. Security teams are scrambling to regain visibility. Vendors are rushing out “agent security” features. And early warning signs are already surfacing.In this episode, Tyler Moffitt answers the critical question: Did agentic AI just move from innovation to crisis?What changed in just a matter of weeks?This discussion breaks down:Why AI agents are fundamentally different from traditional automation and service accountsHow autonomous reasoning + persistent system access creates a new attack paradigmThe identity and API sprawl problem most organizations didn't realize they hadWhy compromised agents could give attackers automation at scaleThe growing wave of enterprise bans — and what they signalWhether regulation or a high-profile incident is likely to come firstTyler explains how agents don't just generate responses — they take action. They hold API keys, access internal systems, modify code repositories, interact with cloud infrastructure, and execute workflows. When deployed without guardrails, logging, or least-privilege controls, they can quietly multiply an organization's attack surface overnight.The core issue isn't that AI is malicious — it's that AI has become an acceleration layer. And when autonomy meets overprivileged access, traditional security models break.You'll also hear practical, immediate steps security teams should be taking now — from credential rotation and agent inventories to sandboxing and behavioral monitoring.This isn't an anti-AI episode. It's a maturity wake-up call.Because the organizations that build guardrails now will move faster and safer. The ones that don't may learn the hard way.If you're a CISO, security architect, developer experimenting with agents in production, or executive evaluating AI adoption — this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking Podcasts This list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!

AI decisions aren't getting harder because the technology is more complex.They're getting harder because they're more visible.In this episode, Yvette Brown and Shari Nomady explore why AI has become a leadership problem before it's a technical one.Vendors overpromise.Models evolve faster than most organizations can absorb.Teams look to leaders for confidence and direction, even when certainty doesn't exist yet.The result: leaders are being asked to decide, explain, and be accountable almost simultaneously.This conversation isn't about tools or tactics. It's about judgment, visibility, and what leadership requires when the buffer between learning and explaining disappears.

If you sell product, you should be asking.In this episode, Cheryl and Liz discuss how to build vendor relationships that actually improve your margin with better pricing, extra percentages, showroom discounts, and free samples by strategy. They share how to pre-sell projects, position your showroom as leverage, communicate upcoming sales, and negotiate from clarity instead of hope. Because reps are motivated by volume — and if you're moving product, you have influence. This is about operating like a business owner.If you are ordering it anyway, ask.If you are promoting it, ask.If you are bringing them business, ask.

In this Post Shift Shot, Shawn Soole pulls back the curtain on the reality of owning in hospitality. No hype. No Instagram fantasy.

Build Through Chaos | Nazar Vincent follows Nazar Vincent as he breaks down what it really takes to win in real estate and construction when markets get shaky. He explains why building, design, and entitlement create real leverage, why profit-sharing and appreciation keep teams productive, and how cost control plus in-house talent removes bottlenecks. Nazar also shares his "December shopping" strategy for buying when everyone else pulls back, how he structures deals around permits to protect margins, and why value-first leadership matters more than chasing "success." The conversation closes with how he would rebuild from scratch, and what drives him to keep pushing while still showing up for family. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

Your board has an AI strategy. It's probably rubbish. Nathan Bell has spent 25 years delivering transformation programmes inside the world's biggest telcos. Now a Partner at Kearney, he's the person companies call when the proof-of-concept graveyard keeps growing and the CFO starts asking uncomfortable questions. In this episode: why most AI programmes are expensive theatre, how to actually get ROI, and why your change management track record matters more than your technology choices. We also get into agentic AI gone wrong — a recruiting agent that only wanted to hire golfers, a CEO town hall that triggered a queue at HR, and an AI agent that doxxed a developer and got its creator hired by Sam Altman. Make of that what you will. Plus rapid-fire telco takes and a deeply scientific Australia vs Netherlands lifestyle quiz that ended in a draw.

Supply chain technology adoption is shifting from pilots to measurable gains in productivity and margins. In this episode of the Talking Transports podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence’s Lee Klaskow shares conversations from the floor of Manifest conference in Las Vegas, where innovation — not freight volumes — dominated. Vendors spotlighted AI agents for less-than-truckload workflows, robotics for e-commerce packaging, autonomous trucking, corrugate solutions to cut waste and reverse-logistics platforms to speed up resale readiness. C.H. Robinson cited 95% automation of LTL missed pickups, while robotics firm Ultra targets a $2–$3 billion packaging automation opportunity. Last-mile startup GoFo is challenging FedEx and UPS with lower-cost DSP models, while autonomous trucking firm Bot Auto is prioritizing cost-per-mile economics before scaling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Model Show Spotlight is brought to you by The World of Armor!A flying Lancaster overhead, rows of models below, and a sold‑out vendor hall buzzing with deals—HeritageCon 2026 is set to deliver a full‑throttle modeling day inside the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. We sit down with the new coordination team to share what's changing, what's staying great, and how to lock in your spot before entries sell out.We break down the essentials: March 29, doors at 9 a.m., with registration moving to the museum's system to streamline both admission and model entries. Pre‑registration opens March 1 at 9 a.m., and there's no registration at the door, so timing matters. Expect a packed floor with over 140 vendor tables, from local shops to aftermarket specialists offering barrels, tracks, decals, tools, and the kind of book deals that vanish fast. Between the C‑47, B‑25, and the museum's showpiece Lancaster, you'll have instant reference material for weathering, modulation, and panel tone decisions you can take straight to the bench.Programming keeps the momentum high. Judging starts at noon while the seminar track runs with Harvey Lowe on aircraft modulation and weathering, plus our live “Wheel of Accidental Wisdom”—a fast, practical, game‑style session where crowd questions turn into build tips and giveaways. The contest follows a familiar IPMS structure: armor by era and side, aircraft across pre‑war to Cold War, a growing Gundam and sci‑fi presence, plus robust auto and ship categories. Specialty awards add local flavor, including best Canadian subject, best fighter flown by a Canadian pilot, best Ukrainian subject, veteran recognition, people's choice, and judges' best of show.We also share travel and weather tips for late March in Ontario, the on‑site cafe plan, and how the community energy carries from the vendor aisles to the evening hangouts. If you're aiming to compete, pre‑register, pack smart, and double‑check your category. If you're there to learn, sit in on the talks, snap reference photos under the Lancaster, and make a wishlist before you hit the vendor hall.Ready to roll? Subscribe for more show spotlights, share this preview with your build group, and leave a quick review so other modelers can find us.

Win in Any Market | Patrick Precourt breaks down how real estate investors can stay profitable during uncertainty without getting reckless. Patrick Precourt explains why most investors don't fail from lack of information, but from fear, emotional decision-making, and losing belief when the "real work" starts. He covers how to adapt strategies as markets shift, why turning off marketing is the worst move for professionals, and how empathy + negotiation become the real edge when sellers are stuck on yesterday's prices. The episode closes with what Patrick would focus on first if he had to rebuild from scratch—and why the "top of the bottom third" stays the safest buyer zone in downturns. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

Free Lead Sources That Convert | Jason Palliser breaks down how top operators find off-market deals without relying on the same paid lists everyone else is calling. Jason explains why investors don't actually have a "lead problem," how to build predictable daily workflows that create consistent opportunities, and why certain free lead sources (like strategic partnerships and tax-based outreach) can produce "easy contracts" faster than traditional cold calling. He also covers the mindset shift needed to win in "saturated" markets, the negotiation frameworks that keep deals alive, and how AI can speed up underwriting so you never slow down or overthink offers. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with David Stephenson, SVP of Technology at Entrepreneurs' Organization, to unpack what true collaboration really means in associations and nonprofits. Together, they explore the difference between transactional vendor relationships and deep strategic partnerships, how to build psychological safety within project teams, and why honest dialogue is essential for successful outcomes. David also shares practical tactics for selecting partners, navigating conflict, and reducing organizational risk through collaborative practices.Themes and Topics:What Collaboration Really Is (and Isn't)Collaboration isn't about being nice or making sure “everyone's at the table.” It's about having the right mix of people with different perspectives.When everyone thinks the same and has the same motivations, you end up with polite agreement, not real progress.There's a big difference between just enlarging a meeting and actually collaborating with intention.Getting the Right Mix: Staff, Members, Vendors, and PartnersAssociations juggle vendors, partners, staff, and members, each with different levels of involvement and motivation.David distinguishes between people who are in the weeds with you (like design and development partners) and those who play a key but more behind‑the‑scenes role (like hosting providers).Upfront, he works to get everyone on the same page: What problem are we solving? What role do you play? What's your motive (and recognizing that everyone has one, and that's okay)?Vendors vs. Partners: Building the Right Kind of RelationshipIn his head, David does see a spectrum: some are more transactional services (SaaS products, integration tools), while others are strategic partners who need to understand mission, business objectives, and strategy.He tries not to use the word vendor in conversation and instead works to make everyone feel like a partner, even if their role is more narrow.When negotiating, he looks for a fair outcome on both sides — if a partner walks away with “really thin margins,” you end up with constant “change order” moments and a strained dynamic from day one.Honest Dialogue, Healthy Friction, and Psychological SafetyDavid values partners who can say things like “That's just not possible,” or “That doesn't align with the strategy you described,” instead of always saying yes.He expects and welcomes friction and hard conversations around timelines, costs, and expectations. If there's zero friction, something's probably off.Psychological safety is key: people need to feel they can disagree, say “I don't think this is working,” or ask tough questions without fearing for their job, contract, or relationship.Doing the Work: Projects, Postmortems, and “Disagree but Commit”David admits he hasn't “cracked the code” on postmortems, but he knows they only work if people feel safe enough to speak up during the project, not just after.When collaboration is done well, it may feel slow at the beginning, but it ultimately makes the work go faster and smoother than siloed, go-it-alone approaches.He likes setting expectations from the start: speak up when it's “cheap to disagree,” and embrace the idea of “disagree, but commit” so the team can move forward with one voice.Collaboration as Risk Reduction for the FutureDavid sees collaboration as a way to de‑risk his future; the stronger his network and partnerships, the better prepared he is for what's coming.Staying insular and only looking inside your own team or organization raises your risk, especially in fast-changing areas like technology and AI.By collaborating widely and intentionally, associati
In this week's One Vision Podcast, we welcome back Sandeep Mangaraj, now co-founder of Aileron Group, to discuss lessons from building a company in a crowded AI market and why AI success is more about people and process than technology. The conversation covers executives rushing into GenAI due to FOMO, the importance of starting with desired outcomes rather than applying GenAI everywhere, and why mid-market institutions may benefit from faster time-to-decision, less technical debt, and faster learning cycles. The key question is whether firms can afford the downside of waiting.

Rebuild From Zero follows Josh Ax as he breaks down exactly how he'd start over if the business disappeared—what he'd focus on first, how he'd generate deals fast, and why most investors stay stuck. He shares his path from property management into high-volume real estate, the mindset shift that unlocked scale, and the practical systems that keep lead flow alive even when revenue dips. From hiring and training an acquisition killer to reactivating old leads, tracking marketing ROI, and getting back to fundamentals, this episode is a blueprint for rebuilding momentum in any market. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

How One Virginia Town is Reinventing Community Commerce During Its Bicentennial Mount Jackson, Virginia, is having a moment. During a recent Tourism Tuesday episode of The Valley Today, Town Manager Olivia Hilton sat down with host Janet Michael to share an ambitious slate of initiatives transforming this small Shenandoah County community. From quirky farmers markets to business incubators, Mount Jackson is proving that small towns can think big—and get a little weird while doing it. Honoring History First Before diving into future plans, Olivia highlights the town's commitment to preserving its past. On February 28th, Mount Jackson will host "Roots and Resilience," the finale event for Shenandoah County's Black History Month programming. The event features historian Rosemary Wallinger, who will discuss the CCC camp at Wolf Gap and her work revitalizing the Mount Jackson Colored Cemetery, which was recently added to Virginia's historic registry. Notably, the town plans to record Wallinger's presentation so descendants living in other states can participate virtually, demonstrating how Mount Jackson balances heritage preservation with modern accessibility. Junk and Jams: When Markets Get Funky Starting in April, Mount Jackson launches what might be the region's most creative take on the traditional farmers market. "Junk and Jams" reimagines the second Saturday market experience by pairing music genres with seasonal themes, creating what Olivia describes as a "funky" alternative to larger regional markets. The concept emerged from a brainstorming session—or perhaps a dream—by Assistant Town Manager, Greg Beam, who texted Olivia a flurry of ideas one morning. Rather than competing with established markets in Harrisonburg or Winchester, Mount Jackson decided to embrace its quirky side. Each month features a distinct theme: April kicks off with "Retro and Roots," a 1950s greaser aesthetic meets spring cleaning, complete with retro kitchen kitsch, greenhouse starts, and farm-fresh eggs. May transitions to "Floral and Fiddles," while August brings "Sunflowers and Southern Rock" during the town's yard crawl weekend. Beyond the alliterative themes, Junk and Jams incorporates interactive elements that set it apart. A Model T club will demonstrate disassembling and reassembling vintage cars. The local museum plans a "Price is Right" style game featuring historical products. Vendors will demonstrate kombucha brewing and tea making. Meanwhile, the town is developing a digital cookbook to tie into the bicentennial celebration, weaving history into every program. Importantly, vendors don't need to match the monthly theme—the music and decor create the vibe while crafters, farmers, and vintage sellers bring whatever handmade, homemade, or antique goods they offer. At just $10 per market or $60 for all six events, the barrier to entry remains intentionally low. As Olivia jokes, even if only she and Greg show up, "we're gonna have the time of our lives." The Nest: Incubating Main Street's Future Perhaps Mount Jackson's most ambitious project is The Nest, a retail incubator opening this spring in a renovated 1930s hardware store on Main Street. The concept addresses a common small business challenge: entrepreneurs who aren't quite ready for their own brick-and-mortar location due to full-time jobs, health insurance needs, family obligations, or simple uncertainty about whether their hobby can become a viable business. Thanks to two years of grant funding from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development totaling $125,000 distributed among 11 businesses, Mount Jackson created this shared retail space. Four "nesters" from the Mount Jackson Five business program will anchor the location: Joyce Kelly with Two Turtle Doves, Ryan Peters with Home Revival & Decor, Mike with Poppy's Dust, and Alex and Abby with Sunbliss, a healthy prepackaged meal service. However, The Nest won't resemble typical booth-style antique malls. Instead, Olivia envisions one cohesive boutique experience where established businesses like Jon Henry's, Clementine Vintage, and Nana's Blue Greenhouse occupy corners alongside the newer entrepreneurs. The space will even incorporate display pieces from other downtown businesses like Mount Jackson Thrift & Gift and Search, with commission-based sales creating a truly collaborative downtown ecosystem. Currently, the town's public works team is renovating the space, leaving Olivia with what she calls "the most stressful choice of my life"—picking paint colors. Meanwhile, Alex from Sunbliss, who happens to be a talented artist, will create a 2.5-by-25-foot mural inside, possibly featuring a woodpecker doing woodwork. As Olivia puts it, "Whatever you wanna do, you're the artist." The nesters will contribute volunteer hours as part of their learning experience, while the town navigates various business models including consignment, wholesale, and commission arrangements. The goal remains clear: give entrepreneurs one to two years to test their concepts before they "fly the nest" into their own storefronts. Nights at the Nest: Midweek Main Street To launch The Nest and activate downtown during typically quiet evenings, Mount Jackson introduces "Nights at the Nest" beginning in May. Every second Tuesday from 4 to 8 PM, the retail space stays open late while a food truck parks in the grassy pocket park between Search Thrift and The Nest. The town plans to string bistro lights between buildings, book live music, and transform an underutilized green space into a gathering spot. As Olivia notes, "Nothing to do on a Tuesday? Come on out and shop a little bit, maybe do some live demonstrations." It's another example of Mount Jackson creating its own social scene while supporting local businesses. The Vintage in the Valley Question The conversation took a bittersweet turn when discussing Vintage in the Valley, Strasburg's beloved festival that was canceled for 2025. Olivia expressed frustration that a community with such dedicated volunteers—including Cath from Lydia's, Sue at Clementine, and the Emporium team—couldn't secure municipal support to continue the event. While she quickly dispelled rumors that Mount Jackson would simply absorb the festival (she clarified that the heart of Vintage lies with its volunteer committee, not just a location), she revealed that discussions are underway for a potential "Vintage Through the Valley" concept that would spread the event countywide. This approach would preserve the Emporium's central role while preventing the complete loss of a cherished regional tradition. Janet admitted she may have started the Mount Jackson rumor herself, though Olivia acknowledged the temptation was real. Instead, she's been reaching out to former Vintage in the Valley vendors, inviting them to try Junk and Jams as an alternative. A Town Creating Its Own Social Life Throughout the conversation, Olivia's enthusiasm and self-awareness shine through. She jokes about "creating my own social life in Mount Jackson," acknowledges when she loses naming debates (she advocated for "Citrus and Soul" in September but conceded to "Apples and Americana" for proper alliteration), and celebrates the "you're changing the world" text messages she receives from Rosemary Wallinger. This personal investment reflects a broader truth about small-town revitalization: it requires passionate individuals willing to take risks, embrace quirkiness, and build community one event at a time. Mount Jackson isn't trying to become Harrisonburg or Winchester. Instead, it's carving out its own identity as a place where vintage meets vegetables, where business incubators share space with established retailers, and where a Tuesday night can become a destination. Looking Ahead As Mount Jackson celebrates its bicentennial, the town demonstrates that honoring 200 years of history doesn't mean living in the past. By supporting entrepreneurs, creating unique market experiences, preserving important heritage sites, and fostering collaboration across the downtown business community, this small Shenandoah County town offers a blueprint for rural revitalization that other communities might study. Whether you're interested in retro kitchen kitsch, healthy meal prep, vintage treasures, or simply supporting a town that's willing to get funky with its farmers market, Mount Jackson invites you to be part of its story. Just follow Town of Mount Jackson on Facebook and Instagram, or check out The Nest's new social media managed by Black Valley Creative. And if you see Olivia recording a podcast from her parked car before class, know that she got there early just to share Mount Jackson's good news. That's the kind of dedication that's making this small town's big year possible.
Why Conservative Debt Wins Long Term breaks down the real reason so many real estate investors got burned over the last few years and why fixed-rate, conservative debt structures continue to outperform across market cycles. In this episode, Arn Cenedella shares lessons from nearly four decades in real estate, explains how floating-rate debt quietly destroys deals, and outlines how disciplined leverage, cash reserves, and long-term thinking protect investors when markets turn. This conversation is a practical guide for investors who care more about durability and freedom than chasing short-term wins. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

After many weeks of work with corporate HR leaders, technology companies, and implementation teams I'm realizing the word that describes AI is “confusion.” Too much going on, too many unanswered questions, and no clarity about what to do. And many of you have been asked (or told) to lead the “AI Transformation” (which is the wrong phrase, as I explain) to reduce cost. Well I hope today's podcast gives you some clarity. Obviously the space is changing quickly, but there is a clear strategy emerging. I discuss the technology market, vendor strategies, and most important of all, how you as a business leader can leverage AI without going down dead ends. I hope this gives you clarity, and I urge you to read our 2026 Imperatives for Enterprise AI for more. Topics covered: Why AI adoption isn't a transformation — it's a continuous learning process How to design an architecture that avoids vendor chaos and data silos The real ROI of AI: rethinking workflows and job structures, not just automating tasks Strategies for navigating a confusing vendor landscape and building your own solutions How to build a culture of trust and change, and empower employees What to tell employees so they'll lean in to change The importance of speed, experimentation, and trusting the data over perfection. If you're in the middle of your AI strategy, please contact us. Our Systemic HR AI Blueprint will show you the way, and Galileo will help you with vendor analysis, process design, job redesign, and of course the training you need to enable your organization.

Make Money in Bad Markets | Logan Fulmer breaks down how investors can still win when the market is soft, competition is up, and margins are tight. Logan shares how he went from oil field money and early land plays to building a business around distressed property acquisition—buying deals with title defects, ownership disputes, liens, and lawsuits that most investors won't touch. He explains why going direct-to-seller is where the real money is, how to balance speed with risk, and what separates top operators from everyone else when the market turns. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

How Smart Investors Flip Houses Today | Jason Velie breaks down how Jason went from being broke on his first hard money flip to running a 60+ deals/year operation by stacking the right expectations, marketing channels, and systems. He explains why the "second deal" is usually the hardest part, how momentum actually builds like compound interest, and what to focus on when you don't have budget or connections yet. Jason also shares what's working right now (and what stopped working), the biggest mistakes new flippers make with ARV and rehab budgets, and why liquidity and reserves are what keep you alive when the market slows down. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

The Real Way to Scale | Jared Jones explores what it actually takes to grow a real estate business without burning out or chasing every deal that comes along. In this episode, Jared Jones explains why true scale comes from value creation over value extraction, focusing on repeatable deal profiles, and learning to say no to distractions that don't serve long-term goals. The conversation dives into ADUs, micro development, capital partner alignment, avoiding costly beginner mistakes, and how purpose, principles, and long-term thinking drive sustainable growth in real estate investing. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....
