Parker Lewis, Head of Business Development at Zaprite and author of Gradually, Then Suddenly, has been one of the clearest writers on Bitcoin as money for years. Lately he's been vocal about the Bitcoin treasury companies and the yield products built on them. I wanted to hear him out, but I also pushed back — because I think there's a version of these products that brings in people who wouldn't otherwise be here. We didn't land in the same place, which is what makes it worth your time. In this episode: Why Parker says the simplest way to save in Bitcoin is to own Bitcoin His answer to something I hear constantly: that Bitcoin is too volatile for most people His take on Digital Credit and whether it can work as an on-ramp for people who aren't ready to hold Bitcoin directly What he'd hold instead: a little Bitcoin, and the rest in...cash??

Private equity has earned a reputation for loading companies with debt, cutting costs, and putting short-term returns ahead of the businesses themselves. But what if successful owners had another option? Nico Lechuga is a Bitcoin entrepreneur, a founding partner of Bitcoin venture capital firm Ego Death Capital, and co-founder of the newly launched holding company Orange Juice. He joins Coin Stories to explain a new model for acquiring profitable businesses, preserving what makes them valuable, and using their cash flow to build a Bitcoin treasury. In this episode: Why the private equity model can create destructive incentives for otherwise healthy businesses How Orange Juice hopes to offer owners an alternative when they are ready to step back or sell Why profitable "boring businesses" may be among the most overlooked assets in America How Bitcoin could become part of a long-term strategy for preserving and compounding business value What separates a real business opportunity from an idea that simply sounds exciting Follow Nico on X at https://x.com/nico_lechuga  ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

What does the future of Bitcoin mining actually look like? This week, Fred Thiel joins Coin Stories for a candid, wide-ranging conversation. Fred runs MARA (formerly Marathon Digital Holdings), one of the biggest public Bitcoin miners in the world. We get into why so many miners are pivoting to AI, what it means for Bitcoin, and his honest, big-picture read on where Bitcoin fits as an asset — including why he says power, not chips, has become the most valuable resource in tech, and why that puts some miners in a surprisingly strong position. We discuss: Why Bitcoin miners are pivoting to AI — and what it means for the network Why Fred has put Bitcoin "in a different box" The story behind MARA selling 20,000 Bitcoin Where he sees Bitcoin's price versus its long-term value His candid take on whether Bitcoin ever becomes money The quantum computing threat to Bitcoin wallets Follow Fred Thiel on X: https://x.com/fgthiel ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

New York Times bestselling author D.J. Molles comes a snark-fueled, high-octane alien invasion thriller where humanity's last hope might just be the most dangerous babysitting job in the galaxy. Earth's been toast for five years-ever since the aliens showed up, killed half the population, and penned the rest like cattle. Master Sergeant Sol Winters leads a ragtag resistance team that's barely clinging to relevance, when an alien ship crashes in his backyard carrying the princess of the empire and her grumpy bodyguard. She claims she's here to make peace. Sol's pretty sure she's lying-but if she's not, she might be humanity's only shot at survival. Too bad everyone else wants her dead. Traitorous humans, rival alien factions, old friends who should've stayed dead-suddenly, everyone's gunning for Sol, his team, and their not-so-willing VIPs. Betrayals pile up, battles get bloodier, and Sol keeps wondering how he got stuck babysitting the galaxy's most dangerous teenager. Packed with firefights, backstabbing, and a narrator who can't help breaking the fourth wall, this is the story of humanity's last stand…told with a wink, a , and a whole lot of explosions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

David Hunter says stocks have another 30% of upside left — and then the biggest crash since 1929. This week the veteran contrarian returns with his most specific targets yet. David lays out the melt-up he's been calling for, the global bust he thinks follows it, and the staggering amount of money he believes central banks will have to print to dig us out. He also shares his gold and silver targets, and gives his honest (and bearish) read on Bitcoin. We discuss: His targets: S&P: 10,000, Nasdaq: 36,000, Dow: 70,000, Russell: 4,000 — and why he just raised them  Why he sees an 80% bear market coming, not a normal recession The $20 trillion the Fed may be forced to print Why 25% inflation could hit by the early 2030s Gold to $7,000, silver to $200 — then far higher next cycle His bearish Bitcoin call — and what would change his mind The one signal he watches to know the top is in Whether you agree with David or not, few people lay out a case this clearly.

Who's really buying Bitcoin right now -- and why aren't more people paying attention? This week on Coin Stories, Natalie sits down with Julian Liniger, co-founder and CEO of Relai, Europe's leading Bitcoin-only exchange, live at BTC Prague. After onboarding more than 100,000 Europeans to Bitcoin, Julian has a rare, ground-level view of who's actually buying — and it's not who you'd expect. He shares what his data reveals about everyday people turning to Bitcoin, why European savers feel squeezed, why retail interest has gone quiet, and where he thinks the price goes from here. We discuss: The surprising kind of person quietly buying the most Bitcoin in Europe The one thing that always brings retail buyers rushing back Why Julian thinks the worst is behind us in this bear market— and how high he sees Bitcoin going next The mindset that keeps people "too late" to Bitcoin, over and over Julian's plan to turn a Bitcoin app into a billion-dollar public company ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  ---- Speed is my go-to Bitcoin Lightning wallet!

G'day, and welcome back to True Blue Conversations. Today's guest is Lucas Atkins, a former Australian Federal Police Close Protection Officer whose 12-year career placed him at the very centre of some of Australia's most significant security operations. Lucas began his policing career protecting high-profile dignitaries, including the United States and Israeli Ambassadors, as well as international VIPs such as the Dalai Lama. His professionalism and dedication soon earned him a position within one of the AFP's most elite close protection teams, where he became responsible for the full-time security of Australian Prime Ministers Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd. Lucas was on the ground during the dramatic events of Australia Day 2012, when protests marking the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy escalated into a major security incident. As the threat rapidly intensified, Lucas played a key role in the emergency evacuation of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition from a Canberra venue surrounded by hostile protesters. After leaving the Australian Federal Police, Lucas continued working in close personal protection operations across the globe, protecting clients in some of the world's most demanding environments. Today, he has taken that wealth of experience and founded his own business. But this conversation goes far beyond protective operations and high-profile missions. It's a raw and honest discussion about identity, purpose, and the challenges that so many veterans and first responders face when the uniform comes off. We talk about transition, rebuilding life after service, and finding a new mission beyond the job. This is an episode filled with stories from behind the security cordon, lessons forged under pressure, and a powerful reminder that the toughest battles often begin after the career ends. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the True-Blue Conversations of former Australian Federal Police Close Protection Officer, Lucas Atkins. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Lucas Atkins Editor: Kyle Watkins

Story of the Week (DR):Social Media's 'Big Tobacco Moment': Meta Faces $1.4 Trillion Fine for Allegedly Fueling Teen Suicide and AddictionMeta is being sued by 33 US states, led by California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey.12 blue/12 red/9 purpleThe states allege that Meta deliberately designed Facebook and Instagram to be addictive to children and teens, fueling a youth mental health crisis (including anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide).They also accuse Meta of violating child privacy laws by collecting data from children under 13 without parental consent.Meta warned a federal court that it could face up to $1.4T in penalties if the states prevail at the upcoming trial (set for August 18, 2026). Meta extrapolated this massive figure—which is roughly equivalent to the company's entire stock market value—based on the methodology proposed by the lead states for calculating damages.Meta calls the penalty "outlandish" and "unsubstantiated," arguing it has no precedent in consumer protection history: 'A sanction of that size has no analog in the history of consumer protection enforcement.' The company accuses the states of improperly multiplying penalties (e.g., stacking fines based on daily usage time). Meta denies the allegations, asserting its platforms have extensive safety tools and that the claims are unmoored from actual unfair practices.‘I Don't Think I'm Ever Going to Stop,' Says Mark Zuckerberg. Even With 'Infinite Money,' He Has No Plans to Retreat to His Massive Hawaii EstateMeta found to breach EU laws with 'addictive' Instagram, Facebook designsInstagram and Facebook's “addictive” designs have put Meta in breach of the European Union's digital laws, the EU concluded Friday in a preliminary report.The tech giant violated the EU's Digital Services Act by failing to adequately consider the risks associated with design features that affected the physical well-being of its users, including minors and vulnerable adults, the European Commission said.These features include infinite scroll, which constantly shows fresh content, autoplay, push notifications and highly personalized recommendation systems — feeding users' compulsion to continue using platforms and putting them into “autopilot mode.”The EU Commission also accused Meta of ignoring available information about how much time young people are spending on Instagram or Facebook at night, and how different types of content formats, from reels to stories, could lead to excessive use of its services.Meta said, “We disagree with these preliminary findings.”New Zealand Moves To Ban Climate Change Litigation.

Jyoti Lohman continues to tell us her business journey creating The Beauty Way experience and why it is important. Listen to part 1 first. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Handyside Ad] Gary: Told you, Brian. Brian: Told me what? Gary: This is part two of last week’s episode. Brian: Oh yeah, and it was getting good. Gary: If you missed it, go back and listen to part one first. Take it away, fellas. Stephen Semple: So tell me about getting this out the gate, what were some of the challenges that you faced getting this rolling? Jyoti Lohman: Well, again, no business degree. Stephen Semple: Yeah, [inaudible 00:01:55] Jyoti Lohman: No business degree, no chemistry background, no beauty background. I had a really successful career in fashion. I studied fashion marketing and went to school in Paris and did trend forecasting and fashion styling. And worked in Los Angeles for years in more visual direction and sort of the aesthetic side of fashion. We moved from California to Austin when I was six months pregnant. I had my now eight-year-old and I have a five-year-old, so I was a stay-at-home mom for years and years. And it was an absolute intentional choice to be home with them. And when my daughter was about one, I went, “This is awesome and I’m a creative.” And so I just started, there’s a little tiny backstory, where I actually had a clean beauty company 13 years ago, never got off the ground. I was in LA, I was selling out of my house quite literally, three products, very, very small. But it was before the clean beauty revolution was even a thing, so I was ahead of the game. People didn’t understand the toxins, they didn’t understand why it would be more expensive. I ended up meeting my husband. We decided to get married on our third date. Whirlwind, traveled the world, did lots of research at spas in Bali and Morocco. And brought some of those products home that I ended up or ingredients that I ended up putting in some of my formulas. This has been brewing for years and years. And when my daughter was about one, it was time. And so I just like kind of the audacity of like I’m a stay-at-home mom and I’m going to create this beauty empire. Sure. And people are like, “Is this ever going to launch? What are you doing?” And I knew what I was doing or actually didn’t know what I was doing, but I believe in the message and the purpose and the products and the time and intention I put into it. So I launched and I have, again, not really … I couldn’t afford agencies or marketing or coaches or any of that, and so I just started getting out there and showing up. Stephen Semple: Right. And this is the interesting part is, what did you do? When you say get out there and showing up, tell me specifically what you did? Jyoti Lohman: In person events. I brought that six-foot table and tablecloth and products to everything I could. I went to every single event that I was asked to be at. And again, because that’s where you’re connecting with people one-on-one. And I do an activation. So I pour water over your hands, you get to use the polish, you get to use the cream, you get to smell it. We talk about the affirmations. And I have you for a few minutes because you’re doing this and I can talk about the story and help you fall in love with the brand. So that’s what I mean showing up. Quite literally lugging around a table and products and getting out there. And going to stores. Is your buyer here? Is your owner here? Never taking no for an answer. Stephen Semple: Right. And when you’ve done that, beyond making the sale, what are the things that you’ve learned when you’ve done that? Jyoti Lohman: This has been a huge part. It’s such a great question. And I think it’s something that people miss out on a lot. Because you can get that sale, but if they’re not reordering and it’s not selling, who cares? Now you’ve wasted all this time getting a sale. Stephen Semple: Correct. Yeah. Jyoti Lohman: I offer 100% support. So you are ordering it, if I can, I am hand delivering it, I am helping with merchandising and I am showing up to every event. I have an event today at 12 o’clock with a new account. And we’re doing a lunch and learn and they put an invite out to all their VIPs and they’re coming to meet me. And they’re going to feel the product and touch the product. And again, I get them there to talk about the story and they get to feel the results and smell it. So really it’s that post-purchase support. And I don’t mean sending emails, I mean showing up, supporting their events, creating events with them. And in the cases of these spas and resorts, meeting with the lead therapist, creating these treatments. We just worked on a Spotify playlist that connects back in with the treatment. So I think, again, it’s not really about the sale, it’s about that post-purchase support, it’s about checking in and it’s about being available. So again, it’s like that showing up for these customers. And I’ll drive, I mean, I’ve driven hours to show up for accounts. And they’re successful because they’re now tied to the story and they’re … I meet with the salespeople, I talk to every single person that’s there. It’s really like good old-fashioned educating them on the product, connecting with the people that are actually selling it. It’s great to have a conversation with the spa director, but they’re back in an office. So who’s selling the product? How are they connected to it? Why are they referring it? Why are they suggesting it? Do they know about it? Do they know what’s special about it? Do they know who’s created it? They do, because it’s me and we’re connecting. Stephen Semple: It’s funny. I’m trying to think the name of the company, but it was one where part of what they ended up doing is they ended up getting their product into Nordstrom’s, which was a big deal. Jyoti Lohman: Huge. Stephen Semple: She would go and visit Nordstrom’s and make sure that the product was well displayed and also that it was in stock. And she referred to how she did reverse shoplifting where she would show up with product and restock the shelf and not charge them or anything. It was more important in those early days to make sure that the product was supported and the product was on the shelf. And not only that, that sales were being made at Nordstrom’s because what she knew is it’s one thing to get into the place- Jyoti Lohman: To stay there. Stephen Semple: … it’s another thing to stay there. And the only way you stay there is the product has to sell through. And it just is bothering me that I can’t think of who this woman was because it was an amazing story. But I’m finding, especially today, I get meetings with a lot of startup entrepreneurs and they don’t want to go out and talk to customers. Jyoti Lohman: Which blows my mind. Stephen Semple: They want to sit and go, “Well, I want to do emails and I want to do this posting and this posting.” I’m like, “No.” Especially in the early days. In the early days, you have to get out there and you have to meet them and you have to talk to them and you have to learn about them. Because here’s what I’m going to guess, this whole idea of creating a specific thing for a resort, you would have never figured out unless you had a conversation with somebody. Jyoti Lohman: 100%. That’s why I said it’s like … it’s really like out there pounding the pavement. And I can tell you story after story of … Something I do is I’ll send an email. You want to get some familiarity with the brand. But who isn’t bombarded with email? So you get some familiarity. I always follow them on Instagram. I always send a message. I’ve gotten a couple accounts this way. “Hey, I love what you’re doing.” And again, this is all people that I’m aligned with that I authentically love what they’re doing and want to be a part of it and think we can align. But I’ll say, “Hey, I’m going to come in and I’m going to support you, I’m going to …” I don’t say support you. I say, “I’m going to come in and get a treatment.” I’m thinking of a company specifically here in Austin that I wanted to align with. And so I’m going to come in, I’m going to get a treatment there. “I’d love to meet you. I’d love to connect.” I don’t hear from them, but I go in, I get my treatment and I say, “Hey, I reached out. Is such and such here?” And they’re like, “Oh yeah, I remember seeing your name in Instagram.” And now they’ve gotten the email, they’ve gotten the message on Instagram. And now they’re seeing me in person. It’s not a cold call. “I’ve been trying to connect with you. I’m on LinkedIn.” Now they’ve sort of seen the brand, so when I do ask to connect with them, they’re not like, “Who’s this person just out of the blue?” So that’s just like, again, it’s kind of warming them up. And look, I’m coming to support you also. I’ve gotten so many people where they’re like, they want stuff from me, but they’re not even following me on Instagram or supporting the business. And I think we need to support each other. I mean, and that shows to me that you’re serious and you want to connect. Another thing is I just, more than once people have said, “I appreciate your diligence.” And what that means is pounding the pavement and the squeaky wheel gets the grease. And it’s old school and it’s something my dad said, but it’s really true. And I had another experience with a current account that emailed twice and said, “We have a very small retail assortment, we’re not looking for anything on the spa treatment, we’re good.” I picked up the phone, we had a conversation. She said, “Let’s meet. I really like you. This has been a great conversation.” I met with her and I just said, “Yeah, let me just come meet with you. No commitment, try the products, let’s meet.” I walked out of there with a signature treatment, retail and quarterly events. So keep going, keep showing up. Yes. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off. And trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: I think this is the big thing, especially in the early days. Look, if you don’t have money to spend towards promotion and marketing and things along that lines, you then need to put in shoe leather, blood, sweat, tears, shoe leather. Jyoti Lohman: Lots of tears. Stephen Semple: The whole idea of being able to say … Yeah. And I’m even going to argue that even if you have budget, in the early days you need to do one-on-one because that’s how you learn about your market and what it really, really wants. And I’m sure there’s lots of things that you’ve also learned to change in your messaging as you’ve had talking to people, you start learning what it is that they want, they like, they desire, what the problems are. Jyoti Lohman: You got to do the research on the people that you’re talking to so that you understand how you align. Because there’s different … I’m in med spas, which is … I was like, I had no idea I would be in med spas, but I have actives, I have vitamin C, I have niacinamides. Stephen Semple: But the research is not asking ChatGPT what do these people want. The research is- Jyoti Lohman: No. This is going into the business- Stephen Semple: This is the point. Yeah. Yes. Your research is the conversation- Jyoti Lohman: The research is not ChatGPT. I mean, it’s a great tool. We talked about this at one point. We’re getting so AI and so ChatGPT that the in-person and the authenticity and the connection of someone really doing the work is more valuable than ever. And you find how you guys align because I’m going to align with different … The resorts, they’re going to tap in more to the affirmations and the connection there. And the med spas are going to tap in more to the ingredients and what’s the vitamin C percentage and how is this going to be a treatment body care? So it’s doing the research and finding where you align. And then showing up over and over and over and over. And even though you’ve had an account for a year, you still do their event support. I would say the same thing as you with, even if you have a lot of money to do that, you still have to get people to love and buy into what you’re selling. And there’s plenty of brands that have had a lot of money that didn’t survive because that’s not … I always go to the about page when I look at stuff. I want to know who the people are behind this, what their purpose is. And then if the product’s fantastic, then we’ve got a winner. And that’s the important piece of it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. We know from looking at analytics that a lot of people are like that. But there’s two things that I think I would like people to take back on this. Is that, one, and I kind of just want to reframe this because people hear research and I think they go down, and really I think what you’re doing is you’re asking questions. You’re meeting with a person and you’re asking them questions and you’re learning about them and that’s the way you’re doing research. And that’s what impressed me when we were talking, because this is what people need to do. And then the other thing is is you’re not taking for granted, the moment you’re in there- Jyoti Lohman: It just starts. Stephen Semple: … the job isn’t done. In fact, bingo, it has really just started. Because you now got to stay there and you got to support it and you’ve got to continue to nurture it. I met with somebody a while ago who was like, “Oh, I don’t think I’m going to need anything because we got our product on Costco.” I’m like, “You’ve only just started.” Because you’ve got to now support all of that. And if it’s not successful, you’re out again. This has been a great conversation. I know you have another event you need to go to. And what I want to point out to people, who will absolutely want to learn more about your product, the best place to go is thebeautywayco.com, is where to go to learn about your products. And they can purchase your products online? Jyoti Lohman: You can purchase my products online. I think my IG is also at thebeautyway_co, and that’s a lot of where my storytelling and that’s a great resource to just find out what we’re doing. Stephen Semple: Okay. Cool. Jyoti Lohman: Yeah, you can absolutely purchase online. I have a store locator on there. Stephen Semple: Oh, so even store locators, if they want to go in and buy it at a retail location, they can seek that out and do it that way as well or a spa or whatever. Jyoti Lohman: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Okay, awesome. What final thought do you want to leave, especially aspiring other entrepreneurs on their journey, what sort of thought or advice or insight do you want to share that you want to leave them with? Jyoti Lohman: Another great question. And I would say that a lot of people ask me, why have I been successful? How did I go from a stay-at-home mom with no experience in business or entrepreneurship or beauty, how have I gotten into these huge resorts? And I want to say the very, very first thing that has to happen before any of it, find what you love. I’m obsessed. I’m obsessed. Stephen Semple: Thank you. Jyoti Lohman: I can talk about this every day, all day. I mean, I have to be like, “Okay, let’s talk about something else.” I wake up in the morning and the first thing I want to do is think about, work on, strategize, ideas. I’m in the shower, I think about people I want to connect with and products … I have two products launching very soon and that part of the business is something I love. So my first advice is, yes, we want to make money, but I think if you really want to be successful, find something you’re obsessed with. Because my dad said to me when I was a little girl, “Follow your bliss and you’ll never work a day in your life.” And I am in my bliss and I don’t feel like I’m working, I feel like the luckiest woman alive to share what I love and to share the purpose behind it and for you to have beautiful glowing skin. I love it. So find what you love. Stephen Semple: What’s really interesting, we just recorded episode 260- Jyoti Lohman: Congratulations. Stephen Semple: … of my podcast. And 259 of them all have something in common. There’s literally one exception. And it was one that I recorded very recently where the person started with the objective of, I want to build a national business in this particular space. Every other story has been a person has solved a problem that has turned into a business, had a passion that they turned into a business. They haven’t started with, “Oh, I want to build this one.” Most successful businesses that we see have started with that internal entrepreneurial need, “This frustrates me, shouldn’t be done this way, there’s a better way to do it.” Or, “Man, I really love this and the world should know about it.” It’s like it’s one of the two, that’s it. Jyoti Lohman: Here’s the second thing, 100%, here’s the second thing. You have to have a tiny bit of delusion about yourself and what you can do in this world. Stephen Semple: Oh good God, yeah.

Four of the biggest voices in Bitcoin — Michael Saylor, Whitney Webb, Jeff Booth, and Col. Douglas Macgregor — in one episode. We went back through the most-watched, most-shared moments from the show and built them into a single story: what's broken with the money, why Bitcoin fixes it, and what you can actually do about it. In about 35 minutes you'll hear the clearest case for why the system feels rigged, why these four believe Bitcoin is the way out, and the one line Saylor leaves you with: Bitcoin will win — but not everyone wins with it. Topics: Why Jeff Booth says we've never actually lived in a free market Michael Saylor on why Bitcoin is "the best asset, with no second best" How broken money quietly concentrates wealth at the very top Whitney Webb on digital ID, programmable money, and how to opt out Why no politician or billionaire is coming to save you The mindset shift that turns doom into building something better ----- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  --- Coin Stories is powered by Gemini.

Natalie Brunell sits down with Strategy's Michael Saylor at BTC Prague, just after he took heat for selling 32 Bitcoin — and for recent comments defending how he measures the company's growth and what its stock is really worth. Saylor answers the critics and short sellers head-on, explaining why "never sell your Bitcoin" is advice for everyday holders, no longer a rule for a company built to buy Bitcoin and pay out Bitcoin-backed dividends. We discuss: Why "never sell your Bitcoin" is advice for individual retail investors How the company is built to survive a crash Why he argues Bitcoin needs credit to keep winning The four ideologies of Bitcoin When he expects capital to rotate back from AI into Bitcoin Follow Michael Saylor on X https://x.com/saylor ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU  --- Coin Stories is powered by Gemini.

What if you woke up one morning, checked your stats, and realized your sales were up 521%...without running a single ad?  That's exactly what happened to Wendy Mitchell, a botanical artist who went from relying on festival sales to pay her bills, to building real online sales from her studio in Colorado. Today she's walking us through exactly what she did — and trust me, you can do this too. Here's what you can do to start now:

What if the most important business introduction of your life happened in a middle seat at 30,000 feet? In this episode, Carrie Waible, founder of CW and Co., shares a career that reads like a map of New York City's most iconic moments. Star-studded galas, Nobu's 20th anniversary, Donna Summer and John Legend at the Beacon Theater, Robert De Niro's charity events, and a 20-year client relationship that started with a phone call she almost said no to. None of it would have happened without a stranger on a plane named Stan Heath, a first boss named Tony who saw something in her before she did, and a client named Thomas who told a 26-year-old she should start her own company. She did. Twenty years later she is still at it and still evolving.   [00:04:00] What She Does and Who She Serves Runs CW and Co., a full service marketing and production company Started in 2004 producing nonprofit galas and celebrity events in New York Has worked with some clients for 10 to 20 years [00:05:00] From Events to Full Service Marketing Was churning out 12 major events a year with a team burning out A dear team member said she didn't want this to be her life Started shifting toward full service marketing and content production [00:07:30] The Client Who Gave Her the Best Advice An old client named Charlie took her to lunch when she first started out He told her: keep putting yourself in front of people and do a good job He also said at 26: lean into your PR talents; that's what will carry you She didn't fully hear it until years later when the pivot became necessary [00:10:30] What Inspires Her: People Gets her energy entirely from people; not one cup of coffee a day Feels most present when directing videos, producing events, or in the field If she is connecting with people and doing meaningful work, she feels amazing [00:11:30] Client Impact: Nobu and a Charter School Network Helped Nobu transition from a 190-seat Tribeca restaurant to a global brand without losing its heart Helped nonprofits raise what adds up to billions of dollars over the years Spoke at a charter school career day; a student asked what inspires her; she said: you do [00:19:00] The Relationship That Started Everything: Stan Heath Was flying to New York to visit friends after graduating college Got into conversation with a stranger named Stan Heath in the middle seat He said PR was her fit; his ex-business partner Tony was hiring Stan faxed her resume; she had a meeting that same weekend [00:21:30] Tony: The First Boss Who Changed Her Life Tony offered her the job after watching her work a fashion industry event He needed to see how she moved before making the offer New York clicked immediately; she has never left That first job eventually led her back to PR and to starting her own company [00:23:00] Thomas: The Client Who Told Her to Start Her Own Business A former client told her: anywhere you go, people will just ask for Carrie Waible anyway Within weeks he offered her a live event six weeks from his nonprofit's biggest fundraiser She started the company at 26 to take on that first event That night on the event floor confirmed she had found where she belonged [00:25:30] Cathy: The Referral That Led to Robert De Niro A past client named Cathy called to pass on a piece of business she couldn't take She was stern: my reputation is on the line too; I need to know you're ready The event was a star-studded benefit at the Beacon Theater with Donna Summer and John Legend The after party was at Nobu; that relationship kept growing for five to six years [00:28:30] Raven: The 20-Year Client Relationship Her first VP at her first New York job called when Carrie started her agency Asked her to do PR for the New York Boat Show; Carrie almost said no That one job opened the door to recreational boating, now one of her biggest business streams The National Marine Manufacturers Association has been a client for 20 years [00:31:30] Venice 2021: The Trip That Cracked Everything Open Was invited to manage VIPs and heads of state at a humanitarian event in Venice Went alone with only a local assistant; no team, no safety net Realized she didn't need a multimillion-dollar agency; she needed to love the work every day From that moment she began more fully embodying her gifts and what she really wanted [00:34:30] Final Word: Just Connect People find relationship building daunting; just extend a smile, a word, a handshake Trust your gut about who feels right; the spidey sense gets sharper over time Those small connections build into things you could never have imagined   KEY QUOTES "Keep putting yourself in front of people and do a good job, because no one ever wants to change who they're working with if they don't have to." - Charlie, as shared by Carrie Waible "I get my energy from people. Not one cup of coffee." - Carrie Waible "You have nothing to lose. Those things build and build into something that you just could never imagine." - Carrie Waible CONNECT WITH CARRIE WAIBLE Website: https://www.cwandco.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrie-waible-658b972   Thanks for tuning in!

Eddie Gilmour built one of the UK's leading luxury security businesses, growing it from a start-up venture into a £9 million operation protecting high-profile clients, luxury retailers, VIPs and valuable assets across the country.But behind the success lies a story of sacrifice, resilience and relentless determination.Raised in a tough environment, Eddie joined the Royal Marines before embarking on a distinguished career as a detective, specialising in covert surveillance, organised crime investigations and national security. After nearly two decades in policing, he took the risk of leaving behind a secure career to build a business of his own. The journey was far from easy. The 2008 financial crisis devastated his first venture, forcing him to rebuild from scratch. Years of pressure, financial uncertainty and constant travel took a heavy toll, contributing to two heart attacks while growing the company. Throughout it all, he remained driven by a desire to provide for his family and create something lasting for the next generation.Today, alongside his son and daughter, Eddie leads a highly respected security business staffed by former Special Forces operators, detectives and security professionals.As the company enters its next phase of growth, he reflects on entrepreneurship, leadership, family, health, and the lessons learned from spending a lifetime operating in some of the most demanding environments imaginable.This is the story of Mr Eddie Gilmour.

Most teams roll out the VIP treatment for anyone who already swiped a card, then quietly ignore the people circling the website five times in a week. Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray make the case that your loudest buying signals are sitting in segments you probably never bothered to build, hiding in plain sight while you fuss over the folks who already converted. There is also a detour into bikini-store career advice and the structural horrors of the Rhode Island accent, so adjust your expectations accordingly.ㅤFollow Daniel on LinkedIn and check out The Marketing Millennials podcast for sharp, no-fluff marketing insights. Subscribe to Ari Murray's newsletter at gotomillions.co for sharp, actionable marketing insights.ㅤBest Moments:(02:00) The VIP segments already sitting in your database that you keep sleeping on(02:40) Why pain-point segmentation beats another round of lead scoring(03:19) The argument for in-person events being the strongest intent signal you have(04:00) Five site visits or eight email clicks is nobody's accident(05:27) Lifetime value of audience deserves as much love as lifetime value of customers(06:37) How brands quietly torch loyalty by only reaching out at renewal time(07:15) The dedicated send you owe subscribers who have stuck around five years

You already have VIPs in your database. You're just not treating them that way. Jay and Daniel break down the segments most Marketers completely overlook, and why the people already showing high-intent signals are often more valuable than the customers you already closed.  Jay lays out the behaviors that should automatically flag someone as a VIP: repeat website visits, multiple email clicks, product video views. None of that is accidental, and none of it should be treated like a regular contact.  Daniel makes the case for pain point segmentation and why lifetime value of your audience deserves just as much attention as lifetime value of your customers.  If you're a Marketer looking to work smarter, not harder, this is the episode for you.  Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: https://themarketingmillennials.com/ Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

I remember President Obama bringing back to the White House one day hamburgers from a certain chain, gave it to the staff people, and all of a sudden the sale of burgers at that chain rose dramatically. Recently, President Trump was quoted in the Wall Street Journal as falling in love with a brand of affordable leather dress shoes. I understand that he gives them away to a lot of agency heads, lawmakers, and VIPs. I'm sure a lot of people will buy them because the President has in essence endorsed them. God has endorsed the lifestyle of following His Son. I hope all of us will live that lifestyle because of God's endorsements. The lifestyle of following Jesus is love and commitment to do what our Heavenly Father is doing.

Little can prepare security teams for the sheer noise, pyrotechnics, national pride, and fan enthusiasm around FIFA World Cup events, but in this episode of Security Management Highlights, we'll give it a shot. First, Anton Kalaydjian shares how his experience on close protection details for celebrities and VIPs at World Cup events translated to a broader career in soccer security. Then, Efrén Vera Torres, CPP, explains how fraudsters take advantage of the World Cup and what that means for banking and finance institutions. And finally, Mason Wilder, CFE, research director for the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) shares some of the findings from the association's latest occupational fraud report—not strictly about soccer, but a good reminder not to take your eye off the ball for insider threats.
