Podcasts about Black Friday

Ryan Duey was living in an RV with his float spas closed and no backup plan when he and Michael Garrett built their first cold plunge from a retrofitted $100 bathtub in a garage. They turned their Shopify store on with zero marketing—and got a sale. What followed was one of the most unlikely scaling stories in DTC history: $30 million to $80 million in a single year, $250 million in cumulative revenue, four sharks bidding on Shark Tank, and a category they essentially created from scratch—all bootstrapped, all assembled in-house in California. In this interview, the co-founders of Plunge break down the real cost of scaling a high-ticket inventory business, why they lost an estimated $20 million in revenue from lead times alone, and the organic influencer strategy that built the brand before they ever ran a paid ad. What you'll learn in this interview: • How they got their first sale with zero marketing—and the Black Friday that showed them how big this could get • The cash flow trap every inventory-heavy founder hits: why a great P&L and an empty bank account can exist at the same time • How customer prepayments funded growth for years—and what forced the switch to holding inventory • Why long lead times cost Plunge an estimated $20 million in lost sales • From buying parts on Amazon to co-designing a custom chiller in China—the full supply chain evolution • How a single Instagram comment to Aubrey Marcus started a chain of organic gifting to Huberman, Tony Hawk, and Rich Roll • The Shark Tank deal that never closed—and why they still got the PR, the airing, and the exposure • How they bought plunge.com from a New Orleans jazz band for $250K—and why the trademark was the bigger win • Why nearly half of all orders close through a phone call or SMS, not a checkout button • How they raised $1.3 million from their own customers in under two weeks via Wefunder If you're building a high-ticket DTC brand, navigating the brutal cash flow realities of an inventory-heavy business, or trying to grow without burning cash on paid ads before you're ready, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about scaling, supply chain, and what it actually takes to build a category from a garage.

After 30 years in health, fitness, and nutrition, and six years running The Audacious Woman, I've hit a wall — not the burnout kind, but the kind that tells you it's time to stop going a mile wide and an inch deep, and start going a mile deep and an inch wide. This episode is about that shift, how to know when you're ready for it, and what it actually takes to do it.   What We Cover Why width in business can quietly become a trap — and the signs it's happening to you The difference between "I want to burn it all down" and "I need to go deeper" How to know if you're performing for an audience you've outgrown What it looks like when your soul is tired (not your body) The grief I didn't expect: letting go of the version of yourself who built something wide Why specificity is magnetic, not limiting Pricing for mastery, not just your time What a depth-first business actually looks and feels like in practice   Signs You're Ready to Choose Depth: You're serving a lot of people but deeply known by very few Your reach is growing but your sense of joy and impact is shrinking You're exhausted in a way that rest doesn't fix Your best clients are the ones who've been with you the longest There's a version of your work you haven't said out loud yet — because you've been building it quietly inside   The Big Reflection Questions from This Episode: When's the last time you felt truly lit up by your work — not just busy, but alive inside of it? What is the one thing you know more about than almost anyone — and are you actually building a business around that? Where are you still performing for an audience you've outgrown? What belief do you have to change to make the shift toward depth possible? Is the work you're doing right now getting you out of bed excited — or is there a shift calling?   Let's dive in!

Send Jackie A Message!She wants to plan a Black Friday sale--but is afraid it'll ruin her monthly recurring revenue...That's where this episode starts — with a real conversation I had this week with a studio owner who is winning by every number you could name, and is still quietly afraid it's all about to run out. If you've ever talked yourself out of a sale, a price increase, or hiring the help you need because some part of you whispered "what if it dries up" — this one is for you.We get into where that fear really comes from, why hitting a bigger number never makes it go away, and the loop it traps you in: the fear makes you play it safe, playing it safe keeps your studio small, and then you read your small numbers as proof the fear was right. I'll show you how to break that loop — not with a pep talk, but by becoming an evidence collector for a new belief. Plus the one simple practice you can start today that tells you whether it's safe to grow.In this episode:Why the fear that it will "run out" lives in almost every studio owner — and why it's not a flawThe reason your best year doesn't quiet the fear (and can make it louder)The hidden loop where scarcity thinking quietly creates the exact result you're afraid ofHow a belief really changes — and why willpower and affirmations don't do itThe evidence practice that retrains the belief at the rootThe one number that tells you you're cleared to make your next bold moveThe one thing to do this week: Start an evidence file. Write down how many brand-new people started a membership or intro offer in the last 30 days, plus three proofs that you can keep building. Read it every time the fear shows up.A few lines worth replaying:"It's going to run out is a thought, not a fact.""Your brain wrote down every fear and never once wrote down the survival.""You survived the exact thing you're terrified of, and you're still standing.""A belief is just a thought you've practiced so many times it feels true."Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficial3 Marketing Mistakes Yoga & Pilates Business Owners Make: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/evergreen-3mm-organicJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo

Last week's case study episode got such a strong response that I wanted to go deeper with a different scenario: the woman who is already lean, doesn't have weight to lose, and is trying to build muscle and look more athletic. This one's for her — and honestly, it was me at certain points too. In this episode, I cover: Why the advice to "eat less and do more cardio" is almost never the right answer for lean women The three phases of body composition: Build → Reveal → Maintain How long to actually spend in the build phase (hint: longer than you think — 4–12 months depending on your training history) Sample nutrition targets for a lean woman looking to build: ~2,000 calories, ~150g protein, ~220–230g carbs, ~60g fat Why a "dirty bulk" approach often backfires for women A sample 4-day strength training split (2 lower, 2 upper) with exercise selection guidance The importance of tracking weights to turn warmup sets into real working sets Volume targets: 10–20 quality sets per muscle group per week Cardio guidance during the build phase: steps, Zone 2, and why HIIT is NOT necessary right now What a mini cut (reveal phase) looks like: 6–10 weeks, 10–20% caloric reduction, protect the protein How to reverse diet back to maintenance — the phase no one talks about but everyone needs The mindset piece: most women spend 90% of their year in a deficit while saying their goal is to build muscle   Let's dive in!

This week I Convince You To Prepare For Black Friday in June! [powerpress]

Nesta edição, analisamos o comportamento do consumidor em relação à Inteligência Artificial, mostrando que assistentes de IA elevam a conversão em 54%, mas ainda esbarram em 17% do mercado que se declara "cético" e exige atendimento humano no fechamento da compra. Destacamos também o impacto do "Memorando de Entendimento de Islamabad" entre EUA e Irã, que oficializou o fim das operações militares e a reabertura do Estreito de Ormuz, prometendo reduzir as pressões inflacionárias globais. No cenário nacional, mostramos que a busca por bem-estar virou consumo, com 86% dos brasileiros adotando hábitos saudáveis e impulsionando as ilhas de wellness nos supermercados. Por fim, antecipamos o planejamento para a Black Friday, revelando por que os perecíveis e o café dominaram as vendas da última edição e por que os descontos isolados já não bastam. Entre os destaques:

This is one of those episodes I usually reserve for my mentorship courses and the practitioners I train, so I'm really glad I decided to bring it to the show. There is so much noise right now on Instagram and TikTok about liver health and gallbladder health, but a 20-slide carousel can only go so deep. My hope is that hearing this explained — with real stories and analogies — actually moves you to explore your own digestive health in a meaningful way. In this episode, I cover: Why your liver, digestive system, and nervous system are interconnected — and what happens when one goes offline The constellation of symptoms that get dismissed as "just IBS" or "just perimenopause" (bloating, bowel irregularities, right-sided shoulder ache, mood swings, waking between 1–3 AM, and more) How your liver metabolizes estrogen — and what estrogen dominance really signals about liver load The two phases of liver detoxification, which nutrients support each phase (B vitamins, magnesium bisglycinate, glycine, NAC), and what happens when those phases become sluggish The gallbladder's role as the liver's partner — and why removing it without addressing root cause is a missed opportunity The gut–brain axis, the vagus nerve, and why 90% of your serotonin is made in the gut Beta-glucuronidase — why your gut microbiome is directly influencing your hormone balance Blood work markers to request from your doctor: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, ferritin, fasting insulin, HbA1c, full lipid panel, and more Functional testing I recommend: comprehensive stool test, Dutch Complete, HTMA, and when to consider an OAT test Nutrition priorities: cruciferous vegetables, bitter greens, fiber diversity, healthy fats, choline (please don't ditch the egg yolk), and eating in a parasympathetic state Supplement support for the liver, gut, and nervous system — including Hepato DR, L-glutamine, GI Revive, ox bile, calcium D-glucarate, and adaptogens Let's dive in!

What does it actually look like to build a real estate business you love — from scratch, without cold calling, as a self-described introvert who hides from cameras at family parties? Eddie Brady went from government employee to full-time agent in December 2021 with half the income he needed. Today he helps 2–3 families relocate to Maryland every single week, largely through a YouTube channel he almost lost forever. In this episode, Eddie and Neil Mathweg break down the entire journey — the YouTube strategy that grew his GCI from $100K to $200K to $300K year over year, the Black Friday morning he woke up to find his channel completely deleted, and the Instagram funnel he built in response. You'll learn Eddie's batching system, his "never excited to record" mindset, why your email list matters more than your follower count, and how the Three Pillar Plan creates momentum that compounds over time. If you've been putting off YouTube because you don't feel ready — this episode is your permission slip.

Send me a text and let me know!! Productized Services: The Hourly Trap Debunked | Pi & Piette 2.0 | Business Conversations Episode Summary: Is charging by the hour slowly killing your business before it even starts? In this episode of Business Conversations with Pi and Piette 2.0, AI voices PI and Piette tackle one of the most critical decisions every founder faces: should you charge hourly or package your skills into a productized service from day one? Spoiler — the data says ditch the hourly model immediately. Drawing from John Warrillow's Built to Sell, Paul Jarvis' Company of One, a Journal of Business Research academic paper, and a raw interview with agency founder Brad Martin, this episode gives you a complete roadmap for building a service business that generates predictable revenue, eliminates scope creep, and ultimately doesn't need you in the room to run. What You'll Learn: Why the hourly billing model traps you in a revenue-for-effort death spiralThe three mandatory traits of a true productized service: specified, branded, pricedWhat the LUX Hotels Cinema Paradiso experience teaches us about mental tangibilityHow Brad Martin's Google Doc discovery process doubled his efficiency overnightThe "Jam Session" method for eliminating scope creep without damaging client relationshipsWhy retainers and recurring revenue are NOT the same thing — and which one actually builds business valueThe one question that forces you to stop thinking like an employee of your own companyTimestamps: [00:00:00] – Introduction & Today's Listener Question[00:01:30] – The Menu-Less Chef: Why the Custom Hourly Model Is Broken[00:03:00] – Brad Martin's Story: Giving Away the Farm Before the Contract[00:04:30] – The Hourly Trap: Why Your Business Becomes Unsellable[00:05:30] – Bespoke vs. Productized: Why the Tailor Analogy Actually Proves Our Point[00:06:30] – What Is a Productized Service?

This is a sponsored podcast. You see me use Seeking Alpha all the time so it's not a conflict at all to promote their Summer Sale. These tools are at the lowest price of the year. They rarely have a better off than my regular offer - SO DON'T WAIT! You'll likely have to wait until Black Friday to get this kind of deal - and imagine where the market will be then? You've missed out on all the actionable data these tools provide. Let me list the offers in order of what I think most should sign up for:The Seeking Alpha Bundle - this is what I would order if I were a paying customer. You get Seeking Alpha Premium which includes the Quant rating, select AI features, the Portfolio Health score and so much more. Not only can you research your own stocks, but you also get the Alpha Picks portfolio where the returns have been fantastic. I have quite a large percentage of my portfolio in the Alpha Picks portfolio and I am constantly trading the names on dips. Fundamentally good stocks (which is what the Quant rates) tend to outperform on rebounds and that statement has done me well over the last few years with this portfolio. Alpha Picks - if the bundle is too high in price, getting Alpha Picks portfolio is the next obvious choice. The returns are phenomenal, but the education in managing a portfolio with rules. Getting the pick summaries every time they choose a stock, listening to their analysts talk about why they chose a stock in the webinars, the weekly summary on Fridays and the “why we sold” emails with full analysis. It's not just about when they tell you to buy and sell, but I've learned a lot managing this portfolio and reading their analysis. Seeking Alpha Premium - again - if you can't afford the bundle or Alpha Picks, I think the premium is a logical choice. The tools saves me from jumping from website to website getting information on stocks and it also allows me to do so much more. Import your own portfolio for analysis, get the Seeking Alpha Quant rating for thousands of stocks, screeners that let you find potential winning stocks and so much more. GET A FREE 7 DAY TRIAL! Seeking Alpha Pro - this comes with the Pro Quant portfolio as the main feature, but there's so much more. Below is the Pro section of the website and you can see all the benefits. This tier is focused more on an active trader who's doing work in the market on a daily basis. I think an active trader can use the Pro Quant portfolio with the tools available to get substantially more actionable data for their trading.

In this episode of High Functioning - an off shoot of the Chasing Heroine podcast, I'm sharing my all-time favorite mindset tool, one that has the power to completely change how you experience everything that happens to you. It's Jack Canfield's E + R = O formula (Event + Response = Outcome), and once you have it, you can't unsee it.The core idea is this: you can't control what happens to you, but your response is where all of your power lives, and that response is what determines your outcome. This means that no matter what life throws at you, you have more control than you think.I walk you through four stories from my own life so you can see exactly how this plays out in real time:The Black Friday sale at my fitness studio, where I turned an objectively great sales day into anxiety and regret purely through my response, and what that cost meMy addiction, which I now see as the best thing that ever happened to me, showing you that even your hardest chapters can be reframed into fuelA collaborator canceling last-minute on a creative project, where choosing my response over my reaction led to a better outcome than I originally plannedA near-relapse at McDonald's in early recovery, where one split-second response decision changed the entire trajectory of my lifeBy the end, you'll be looking back at your own life and spotting every moment you already did this without realizing it, and more importantly, you'll know how to start doing it on purpose.DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

My DMs have been flooded with questions from women trying to figure out what their bodies actually need — how many calories, how much protein, how to structure their macros. So I decided to turn it into a case study episode and share it here with all of you, because one woman's struggle is never just one woman's struggle. In this episode, I walk you through: Why the number the calculator spits out terrifies you — and how you unconsciously manipulate formulas until you land on a number you're already eating (and already not seeing results on) The multi-billion dollar wellness industry's role in conditioning women to under-eat, and why 1,200–1,600 calories is not a starting point — it's a myth A full case study: 42-year-old, 5'6", 160 lbs, perimenopausal, chronic yo-yo dieter — and exactly what I'd do with her step by step Why maintenance calories are almost always higher than you think (and why that's actually good news) The Zone-method macro split I start most women on: 40% carbs / 30% protein / 30% fat How to actually track progress — measurements over the scale, every time. (One client lost 12 inches while the scale barely moved three pounds.) The real metrics that matter: biofeedback, performance, sleep, hunger, recovery When to reduce calories, when to increase them (spoiler: more often than you'd think), and why I never slash protein My strength training framework for women 35–70: 4 days/week, lower body twice, upper body twice, why most women are doing warm-up sets and calling them working sets Zone 2 cardio, step count sweet spots, and why fat loss is a muscle preservation problem — not a cardio problem Realistic expectations: what 12 weeks of genuine compliance actually looks like Let's dive in!

It's Black Friday. The busiest shopping and dining day of the year, in a town known for being the Christmas city, packed with people in from out of town. Theresa had just hosted Thanksgiving — a houseful of family and friends — and all she wanted that afternoon was to finish cleaning up and sit down with a glass of wine. Not think about anything. Five minutes after she said it out loud, the phone rang.   "Teresa, it's raining in the basement. We don't know what to do. It's brown water."   She lived an hour away. So she drove. The whole way up wondering what she was about to walk into. A restaurant packed. A retail store packed. A city packed. And in the basement, water pouring out from under a door — brown — heading straight for the inventory.   By the time she got down there, one of the restaurant managers was already on the stairs. In a garbage bag. Kitchen gloves on. Holding a spatula. "T, we can do this. We got this. I Googled how to fix a pipe." It was a sewage pipe. And Theresa is a germaphobe.   Here's what most people would have done: run. Theresa did the opposite. She leaned in. She started assessing — first, second, third. Call the plumber. Call the remediation company on a holiday weekend. Save the inventory. Call the owner, who was in Mexico. And make sure nobody upstairs ever found out.   They didn't fix the pipe themselves, by the way. She threw her sneakers out and drove home barefoot in the snow. But the business never skipped a beat on the busiest day of the year — because the right things were already in place.   That flooded basement became one of the stories that taught Theresa what it actually takes to run a business in a crisis. It comes down to four things: presence, people, processes, and perseverance. The only thing we ever really control is the effort we put in and how we choose to face the moment when it breaks.   So here's the real question. It was never whether a crisis like this would happen — because it will. It's whether you have the presence, the people, the processes, and the perseverance to walk through it and come out the other side completely intact.   Key Takeaways: • Crisis isn't the question — it's coming no matter what. The real question is whether you have the leadership and systems in place to walk through it and get to the other side completely intact. • The only thing you truly control is the effort you put in and how you face the moment. You can run from the crisis, or you can lean into it. • Presence is leadership when it's hard. It's being the person they call because they know you'll figure it out — not the leader who panics and waits for someone else to handle it. • People matter most in the breakdown. The right team thinks critically and creatively under pressure, brings diversity of thinking, and keeps the business from bottlenecking on you. • Processes are the skeleton that holds everything upright. Real operational structure is what let the restaurant and store keep running on Black Friday while the basement flooded — business continuity in action. • Perseverance is radical resilience — the 6th gear. Cry for a moment, get frustrated for a moment, then shift into the strategic, critical, creative-solution brain and keep moving. • Good leaders bring calm into the chaos, not more chaos into the chaos. Intention beats running around like a chicken with its head cut off. • Every business owner has a version of this story — a pipe, a fridge going down, people quitting, COVID. What separates them is what they put in place before it hit.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:00   The one question — what crisis taught you how to run your business? 01:30   Why this story is in the upcoming book 02:21   Picture this: Black Friday, the Christmas city, the busiest weekend of the year 03:40   "It's raining in the basement.

Study room poker games. $5 and $10 buy-ins.And then Jamie Gold won the 2006 WSOP Main Event.For a lot of people, Moneymaker was the moment.For Francis?It was Jamie Gold talking people into doing the wrong thing for $12 million.From there, poker got serious fast.He started playing online, driving to Turning Stone, grinding $150 nightlies with a tiny bankroll, and building a network through PocketFives and AOL Instant Messenger.Then he satellited into the Sunday Brawl, got 7th for around $10K, and told his mom he was dropping out of college.As one does.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Francis joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to talk through the full ride: ♠️ Finding poker during the Jamie Gold WSOP era ♥️ Dropping out after a Sunday Brawl score ♦️ Black Friday and the Costa Rica online poker migration ♣️ Grinding with David Peters and seeing elite work ethic up close ♠️ Moving to Vegas with a tiny bankroll ♥️ Getting crushed, going nearly broke, and rebuilding ♦️ Wearing a cowboy hat and mask to disguise himself in the Monster Stack ♣️ Turning a $5K bankroll into a massive WSOP score ♠️ Winning the $800 Independence Day event for $500K ♥️ Becoming Main Event chip leader the next day ♦️ Back-to-back WPT final tables ♣️ Why he still shows up early for $800s and $1KsThis one is a real grinder story.Not overnight success.Not one heater.A decade-plus of moving countries, rebuilding bankrolls, firing bullets, getting better, and showing up again the next day.Sometimes in a cowboy hat.

How do you keep millions of people streaming a World Cup match without buffering, outages, or delays? And what happens behind the scenes when a retailer suddenly experiences a surge of traffic during Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Recording this episode at the IT Press Tour in Boston, with the FIFA World Cup dominating conversations across the city, I sat down with Rob Clifford, Vice President of Sales for the Americas at IO River, to discuss one of the least visible but most important parts of our digital world. While most people simply expect websites, streaming platforms, and applications to work, an enormous amount of infrastructure sits behind every click, stream, and transaction. Rob explains why organizations are increasingly moving beyond reliance on a single content delivery network and embracing a multi-edge approach. We discuss the challenges of managing multiple providers, how IO River is helping enterprises simplify that complexity, and why the company believes a new control layer is needed to improve performance, resilience, and cost management across the edge. The conversation also explores IO River's recent $20 million funding round, the rise of edge decoupling, and how the company is working with major broadcasters preparing for the huge traffic demands of the World Cup. Rob also shares how retailers can avoid costly downtime during peak shopping events and why AI is creating a new generation of challenges and opportunities for edge infrastructure. If you've ever wondered what happens behind the scenes when millions of people watch the same sporting event, shop online during a major promotion, or access cloud services around the world, this episode offers an accessible look at the technology making it all possible. What role do you think edge infrastructure will play as AI, streaming, and digital experiences continue to scale? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This episode is for every woman who knows what she needs to do but still isn't doing it. Whether you're building a business, growing a practice, or trying to level up your health — if you've ever caught yourself saying "I just need more clarity/confidence/knowledge before I start," listen in because today's episode is a goodie!   In this episode, I'm talking about: Why the real problem isn't a lack of information — it's a lack of movement and decision-making The sneaky ways we self-sabotage without even realizing it (perfectionism, overthinking, procrastinating on the "wrong" things) How your nervous system can actually work against your growth — and what to do about it Why confidence is the result of taking action, not the prerequisite for it The upper limiting beliefs I personally had to break through when I moved my business entirely online What perimenopause and identity shifts have taught me about reinvention in business and life The question you should actually be asking yourself instead of "what else do I need to learn?"   Let's dive in!

Tori Gill was still cutting hair on weekends when she sold her first 20,000 sunscreens. A former hairdresser with two kids, no e-commerce background, and a product that took two years to develop, she launched Sun & Daughter on Boxing Day 2024 and hasn't really stopped since. This is the follow-up episode - and a lot has happened. In this episode, Tori gets real about what scaling from $100K to a million-dollar brand actually looks like from the inside: the stockouts, the 54-hour Facebook ad account lockout, the $20,000 orders she had to back herself on, and the retail decision she's made that could either be her smartest move yet - or, in her own words, "the biggest mistake of my life." What you'll learn in this interview: How a consumer watchdog report on failing sunscreen SPF tests became an unexpected growth moment - and how Tori moved fast enough to capitalise on it Why she packed every order from her spare room for a full year, alongside two kids and two days a week in the barber shop, before finally moving into a warehouse the week before Christmas The exact moment a Choice magazine article turned into a sales spike, and how having your formula independently tested can become your most credible marketing asset How Tori used a trending audio format - kids in hats, waiting for SPF results - to make an ad that outperformed every polished campaign she'd ever run Why she treats her Instagram like a reality TV show, and what that means for how she handles UGC, consistent visuals, and the decision never to post other people's faces on her brand page The average order value lesson she learned from Founder that led her to build out hats, brushes, wet bags, and bundles - and push her AOV from $75 to over $111 Why she skipped Black Friday, never ran a sale in year one, and then sold 1,000 sunscreens in 24 hours the first time she did - and why she hasn't done it since Lessons from adding 5 to 10 new ad creatives every single week, and why she's changed her entire campaign structure three times in 15 months How she uses Instagram Stories polls to let her community choose product colours, hat designs, and packaging - and why it's as much about solving her own indecisiveness as it is about building loyalty What she's learned about going into major retail - the upfront stock commitments, the hidden marketing costs, and why she still doesn't know if it was the right call If you're building a product brand and starting to feel like you're holding multiple plates in the air at once - ads, content, stock, manufacturing, team, retail - this episode is worth your time. Tori doesn't have it all figured out, and she says so. But the way she thinks through each decision, tests before she scales, and keeps backing herself anyway is exactly the kind of thinking that turns a spare-room operation into something real.

Founded by entrepreneur Meredith Mills-Merritt, The Original Southside is a premium ready-to-drink cocktail brand bringing a fresh, elevated approach to the rapidly growing RTD category. Inspired by a cherished family recipe created by her mother, Meredith transformed the classic Southside cocktail—a refreshing blend of gin, lemon, and mint—into a bar-quality canned beverage made with organic ingredients and a commitment to transparency. Drawing on her background in prestige beauty and product innovation, she applies a product-first philosophy to every aspect of the brand, from ingredient sourcing and formulation to packaging and design. The result is a cocktail that prioritizes quality, simplicity, and a clean ingredient profile without compromising on taste. Beyond building the brand, Meredith is also a co-founder of the Clean Alcohol Collective, an initiative advocating for greater ingredient transparency across the alcohol industry. Through The Original Southside, she is helping redefine what consumers can expect from ready-to-drink cocktails while challenging industry norms around formulation and disclosure. In this episode, Meredit also discusses: How a family canned cocktail recipe became a viral brand Why alcohol should have ingredient labels so consumers know what they're drinking How the beauty industry's "clean" movement influenced beverage innovation Ditching dull drinks in favor of bold, modern branding The rise of health-conscious consumers and how they're reshaping the alcohol market The challenges of building a small alcohol brand in a distribution-controlled industry Debunking common myths about gin, tequila, and vodka being "healthier" choices Why indulgence and moderation can coexist in today's wellness culture We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Meredit's journey and the growth of The Original Southside.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the exact strength training formula I use and teach — one that's designed specifically for women in their late 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Because the rules don't change just because you get older. What your body needs stays pretty consistent, and today I'm giving you the simple, no-BS version of what actually works. In this episode, I cover: Why doing more — more cardio, more steps, more classes — is actually working against your goals The role of progressive overload and why your body needs a reason to build muscle Why cardio will never be your primary tool for changing your body composition The nutrition non-negotiables (or "suggestions," if that word feels better!) that I come back to again and again How to think about protein, carbohydrates, and fat in a way that's simple and sustainable Why 9 out of 10 times, the problem isn't your training — it's how you're fueling The strength training formula simplified: lift progressively, fuel with intention, recover on purpose, and repeat — for months, not weeks Let's dive in!

The Bread of Life Part #1: Seeking, Seeing, Believing Please turn in your Bibles to John 6. We'll be focusing on verses 22-36 this morning. That is found on page 1059 I'm calling this a part 1 sermon about Jesus as the Bread of Life. But really, last week could be considered part 1. The first section of chapter 6 was about Jesus feeding the 5000. In our verses this morning, Jesus explains that the bread which he multiplied was a sign that he fulfilled as the bread of life. And then next week, he will elaborate on what that means and its implications. So, chapter 6 is one big narrative that focuses on Christ as the bread from heaven. If you remember from last week, the disciples are now in Capernaum on the western shore of the sea of Galilee. They had left on a boat on the eastern short without Jesus. Well, on their journey, a storm arose, but Jesus came to them, walking on the water. He calmed the storm and they arrived in Capernaum. So that is where they were, but the crowd was still on the other side of the sea. Let's now come to God's Word. Prayer Reading of John 6:22-36 I know it's not Thanksgiving, but Black Friday came to mind this week. That is the day after Thanksgiving. It's the day that almost every store has crazy sales and tries to lure shoppers in to buy their stuff. It's the biggest shopping day of the year. People literally camp out the night before so that they can be the first in line and buy big TVs, fancy speakers, laptops and phones, games, and appliances. Of course, the sales are only "while supplies last." So, you'd better be there early. You may have heard about the fist fights that break out or you may have seen the videos of people running through the store when the doors open to get to that TV before the other guy does. It's a picture of how we will go to great lengths to satisfy our so-called needs. We want to be comfortable and well fed and have all the latest things out there. But we are not thinking about our eternal and spiritual needs. The crowd following Jesus was similar. They wanted him to feed them. They saw the signs he did including the miracle of multiplying the bread. And they wanted more. They were even in a kind of frenzy to find him. But they didn't want him for the right reasons. They wanted to satisfy their earthly needs not their spiritual ones. As we work our way through these verses, that is what we will see this morning. We'll see that contrast between searching for bread which will perish and searching for the bread who gives eternal life. There's an outline on page 4 of the bulletin. We'll consider these verses in three points: 1. Seek the eternal provider 2. See the one signified And 3. Believe in him and his eternal provision And let me say that each point is contrasted by the Jewish crowd's selfish motivation, their lack of understand, and their unbelief. That is clear in these verses. 1. Seek the eternal provider Ok, again, number 1, seek the eternal provider. The crowd did not see their spiritual need and how Jesus could fulfill it. No instead, as I mentioned, they were fixated on the temporary provision thinking it could save them. They should have been seeking Jesus for who he is but instead were seeking him because of what they thought he could do for them. That's what we see in the first couple of verses. The problem was that their motivations were suspect. Really, they didn't want Jesus. They just wanted temporary things that they thought Jesus could give them. As we get into the narrative, remember that it was the day after Jesus fed them. And the crowd quickly realized that Jesus was no longer there. But where was he? The evening before, they had witnessed Jesus' disciples enter a boat and leave for the other side of the sea to Capernaum. But Jesus didn't get on the boat. But, where was he? They wanted to find him. At this point in Jesus' ministry, there was a buzz, so to speak. At the end of chapter 4, Jesus had been up in Galilee and if you remember, had healed the official's son. Word had gotten out about that and other signs. Just the day before, they witnessed Jesus miraculously multiply the fish and loaves. They crowd was (in a way) desperate to find him. They wanted to find this man who healed people and performed signs and miraculously fed them. They even believed he was the prophet that Moses promised. We learned that last week. Well, at this point, several boats had arrived from across the sea. Maybe they had sheltered there from the storm the night before or maybe some boat owners heard there was a crowd and therefore an opportunity to make some money by ferrying them somewhere. We don't know why the boats were there. But whatever the case, the crowd quickly got on the boats and directed them to travel to Capernaum. Remember, that's where Jesus' disciples had gone. Maybe he was somehow there? Well, when they got to Capernaum, lo-and-behold, he was there. They had no idea how Jesus had gotten there. They hadn't seen him leave and they hadn't witnessed him walking on the water, but somehow he had arrived. That's why they asked him in verse 25, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" Maybe they were wondering whether he arrived at night. Or whether he had taken a different boat. They wanted to know because they had been very eager to find him. And here's where the narrative pivots. Jesus changed the subject. Remember, he did something similar with Nicodemus in chapter 3 and with the woman at the well in chapter 4. Jesus pivoted the conversation to penetrate to the heart of their problem. Nicodemus needed to be born again and the woman at the well needed living water. Jesus said to the crowd, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves." You see, they cared more about the food. They cared more about their earthly situation than their spiritual need. They wanted to find the man who performed the miracle so that he could do more miracles for them. In other words, their search for Jesus was not about Jesus, it was about what he could do for them. Their motivations were about satisfying their appetite. Let me connect this to last week. Look a few verses earlier at verse 15. The crowd had just pronounced that Jesus was the Prophet that Moses promised. Now, look at what they wanted to do. Verse 15. It says that Jesus perceived that the crowd wanted to take him by force, and make him king. That is when Jesus withdrew from them. They wanted to make him king because they wanted a king who would provide for their earthly needs. It's the same near sighted motivation. The irony in all of this is that Jesus was and is the true King, the eternal King, and he was the one who could truly feed them - you know, spiritually feed them for eternity. But as the crowd came to him, they only cared about their earthly and physical needs. That is why in verse 27, Jesus then said to them, "do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life." Jesus was saying, even though the fish and the loaves fed you and it was a miracle, that bread and fish will not endure to eternal life. To be sure, our earthly needs are important. God has made us as physical beings. We are body and soul. We have daily needs for food and water. It is not wrong to seek our daily bread. We pray for our daily bread in the Lord's prayer. However, when our pursuit for daily provision becomes our main pursuit in life then we have lost sight of our greater need. The crowd did not see their need for the spiritual provision that Christ could give them. They simply wanted to have more of their earthly, physical, near-term needs met… food and an earthly king to provide for them. This sin manifests itself in different ways in our hearts and in our culture. For one, we live in a time and place of great prosperity. And it is so easy to get caught up in the rat race of our culture and the pursuit of comfort and things. Our covetous hearts do not help us! Certainly, many around us are blind to this. They cannot see that the near-term path that they are on is a path that leads to destruction and judgment. But even for believers in Christ, we can be so caught up working for our daily needs or our pursuit of comfort in this life, which can become idols, that we lose sight of our greater spiritual need. We lose sight of Christ. That's one pitfall in our culture and in our hearts. Related to that, Jesus just becomes to us a means to an end. That's what was happening here. We've talked about this in the past. There are so-called preachers out there that say that God wants to bless you with material wealth. Your barns will be full, they say, if you just have more faith. I don't sense that anyone here believes that, but are you seeking Jesus for who he is? As the one who saves and gives eternal provision and life, OR are there subtle ways that he has become for you just an avenue to meet your perceived needs in this life? Just to be sure, I am not disregarding the benefits and blessing that come with knowing Christ like peace with God and community. But Jesus should never be a means to an end. He is the end. He is the telos of all things. We should be seeking him as the one who gives life and not for bread which perishes. So, seek him, the ultimate provider. 2. See the one signified #2. See the one signified. The crowd was so enamored with signs that they missed the significance of them. Look at verse 30. The crowd said to Jesus, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you?" In other words, show us something. Give us a sign. It's quite ironic because Jesus had just given them a sign the day before, but they didn't see that it pointed to him. And then the crowd mentioned the example of manna from heaven. That was to them the great sign that Moses performed as God's chosen instrument. Moses was the one, in their eyes, who opened heaven to give them this bread from heaven. The crowd wanted a sign like the manna. As Coleman pointed out last week, this whole chapter includes allusions to Moses and the Exodus. A first century Jewish reader would have seen the parallels. We see those in reference to the Passover, the miracle of the food, the crossing of the sea, the reference to the Prophet which Moses promised. And a little bit later, the Jews grumbled just like the Israelites grumbled in the wilderness. It's all there. Really at the heart of the parallel is the manna. The manna was the miraculous food that God provided the Israelites from heaven. We read about it earlier in the service. Now, you may be asking, if the crowd just experienced Jesus miraculously giving them food, why would they mention the manna as an example of a sign? Well, think about this. Jesus fed 5,000 people one meal. That's amazing, but it pales in comparison to the provision of manna. There were at least 2 million Israelites in the wilderness, and they received the manna 6 days a week for 40 years. It was tremendous. And so the miracle of the manna was unparalleled from their perspective. And furthermore, it was Moses who had opened heaven on God's behalf for them. Look at Jesus' response in verse 32. Jesus said, "truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven." Jesus was telling them that they missed the point. For centuries they thought that the sign of the manna was the greatest provision of all. It was THE sign. What they didn't realize or acknowledge is that the manna was really pointing to something greater, "true bread from heaven." They missed that. The manna in the wilderness spoiled and only endured for a day. The true manna, on the other hand,  would sustain them forever. What they needed was not more physical manna. No, what they needed was the spiritual manna from heaven. Jesus continued, "for the bread from God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." Look how the crowd responded in verse 34. "Sir, give us this bread always." Did you notice that their response exactly paralleled what the Samaritan woman said at the well? After Jesus said to her that the water he gives will spring up to eternal life, she said, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty." In both cases they were still thinking about physical water and physical bread. The crowd here wanted to eat this bread. They thought it was something they would physically consume. "Give us this bread, always." You know, every day, just like the manna from heaven. And here's the climax, verse 35. Jesus said, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." He is the bread. The sign of manna was merely revealing that they needed true bread from heaven. They needed Christ. Colossians chapter 2 speaks to this. It speaks of various Jewish ceremonies and institutions like food, drink, festivals, new moon, and the Sabbath. And then the apostle Paul says this in Colossians 2:17, "These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ." Jesus is the manna who came down from heaven. He is the one who gives life. He fulfills the sign of manna. The manna was a shadow, but Christ is the substance. In fact, Jesus' very statement that he is the bread of life affirms this. It's the first of 7 "I AM" statements in the book of John. Besides the bread of life, Jesus also said, for example,  "I am the light of the world." "I am the good shepherd." "I am the resurrection and the life." We'll consider all of them as we work our way through John. And each of these "I am" statements is yet another connection back to Moses. A few months ago when we started this series in John, I mentioned the I AM statements. They connect back to the burning bush when God spoke to Moses in the wilderness. Remember that Moses asked God who he was. And God answered and said, "I am who I am." That's the Hebrew name, Yahweh, which means. I am. Yes, Jesus was saying that he was spiritual bread, but he was saying a lot more than that. He was equating himself with God. To the crowd, he was saying that he was greater than Moses. They had been appealing to Moses and to the manna. But Jesus revealed to them that he is greater because he IS God. He is the I AM of God. He is the bread of life, the true manna from heaven. Those who feed on him will never hunger nor thirst. Never. Let me put it this way, Jesus is the spiritual manna that we daily need, who will sustain us all the way to the promised land. See not only the sign, but see the one signified. 3. Believe in him and his eternal provision Ok, here's where we are so far: 1. Seek the eternal provider. Seek Jesus for who he is not what you believe he can do for you. 2. See the one signified. Do not get caught up in the signs themselves that you miss out on what the signs signify. Jesus' miracle of the fish and loaves and the sign of manna in the wilderness reveal who he is. Jesus is the bread of life. And now #3. Believe in him and his eternal provision. Jesus was telling the crowd to look to him as the bread of life, and not to the food that perishes. And he calls them to believe. How do we to receive this bread from heaven? We're to believe in him. Earlier in these verses, the crowd had asked what they needed to do? Did you catch that? They had this mentality that they needed to be working to receive the food that endures to eternal life. In verse 29, Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." Let me make something very clear. Faith or belief in God is not a work. We do not work in any way to earn favor from God. That is why verse 29 says, 'This is the work of God, that you believe in him'” Do you see the emphasis that it is God's work? Our belief is in response to God's work. In fact, this is very clear throughout all of chapter 6. It is God who draws people to himself. The Father is the one who is at work. We believe by faith in God's work… what he has done and is doing in Christ and through his Spirit. We'll see this very clearly next week. The crowd's problem was that they did not believe in him. And look at the stinging statement that Jesus made to them in verse 36. "But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe." I grew up in the church. It was not a reformed or Presbyterian church, but it was faithful. One of my elementary Sunday school teachers said something that was kind of shocking to me at the time. She said, "there are people in the church who are not Christians." She wasn't talking about visitors who were exploring Christianity and were coming to search for truth. She was referring to people who had been in the church for a while and who thought they were believers in Christ, but hadn't truly believed in him. My little 9-year-old mind had a hard time understanding that at the time, but it stuck with me. When Jesus said to them that they had seen him but do not believe, he was telling them that even though they thought they were God's people, they had yet to believe. Many of them were Jews by birth. After all, they had just demonstrated a knowledge of the Scriptures and Israel's history, yet they were not secure in God. They did not have the eternal life that God promises for those who believe in him. They did not believe in the true manna, the bread of life. Jesus could not have been clearer to them. Let me read verse 35 one more time because it's so important. Jesus said, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." To receive the food that endures to eternal life, is to believe in the one who is the bread of life. I know many of you and your testimonies of faith in Christ. But some of you I don't know as well or we haven't yet me, and so I want to ask, have you feasted on the bread of life? Do you believe in the one who will satisfy your spiritual thirst and hunger forever? Let me say, he is the only one who can satisfy your soul forever. All other life pursuits when they are your primary life pursuits are working for bread which perishes. But the work of God is that you believe in the one sent from heaven. He is the true manna of God. Conclusion In summary, the crowds were seeking Jesus but for the wrong reasons. They were seeking Jesus as a means to an end. They were seeking the manna that their forefathers experienced and tasted. They wanted that manna instead of realizing that physical manna was meant to direct their attention to the true end - to Jesus himself. Standing before them and standing before us in heaven is the Bread of Life, the true manna from heaven. He is the I AM of God. And he calls us to believe in him. May we repent of working for bread which perishes. May we not trust in the things of this world which cannot save. May we not look to the signs and shadows but to the substance which is Christ. May we, believe in him, the Bread of Life, who will feed us for eternity.

My guest today, Vicky Countess, thought she just needed to “get better at tech.” But underneath the cluttered desktop, overflowing files, and piles of paper was something deeper: frustration, wasted time, and the constant feeling of never being able to find what she needed when she needed it.

Introduction: From Podcast Listener to Two Profitable Projects: Carly's First Year RenovatingBernadette sits down with renovator Carly to unpack a remarkable first year, one that began with bingeing this very podcast over the summer holidays and ended with two profitable projects and a completely changed sense of what's possible.Just over twelve months ago, Carly was convinced that renovating for profit was for other people: people with more experience, more money, and more time. After joining the course in early 2025, she and her husband completed their first flip in under three months, a full-gut renovation that delivered just over $95,000 in profit.From there, the strategy shifted. When the numbers on their second property pointed to long-term growth rather than a quick sale, Carly turned a coastal home an hour from Adelaide into a holiday rental, now a super host listing that has earned more than $50,000 in bookings and a wall of five-star reviews in its first two months on Airbnb. But this is not a "list it and the money rolls in" story, and Carly is refreshingly honest about that. She and Bernadette dig into the real work behind short-term rental, the styling, the systems, the photography, and the cleaning saga — and why it is anything but passive income.If you have ever told yourself it is too late to start, that you do not have enough experience, or that serious profit and money partners are for other people, this conversation shows what becomes possible when belief and a solid system finally line up.Tune in to discover how one woman went from podcast listener to confident, profitable renovator in a single year, and what she would tell anyone still waiting for the "right time" to begin."Twelve months ago, I would have said this wasn't possible for someone without much experience. Now my eyes have been opened, of course, it's possible. You just have to believe in yourself."

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Jen Rapkin, naturopathic doctor, body worker, former dancer, and author of The Feeling Muscle: Sitting With and Outlasting Hard Feelings, and I walked away from this one with so much clarity around something I've personally been navigating — the relationship between what we hold in our bodies and how it shows up as physical symptoms, dis-ease, and emotional patterns we can't seem to shake. In this episode, we explore: What it means to be a "frequent feeler" — and why that's actually a gift, not a burden How the messages we were raised with ("grow thicker skin," "boys don't cry," "grin and bear it") trained us to armor up and disconnect from our emotional body Why emotion is a pre-verbal, physical experience — and how learning to locate feelings in the body changes everything The concept of "shaking the hand" of a feeling — a simple, powerful practice for beginning to sit with what's coming up rather than numbing or distracting Why Dr. Raphkin's approach is NOT about excavating trauma — it's about exercising your feeling muscle one small moment at a time The connection between unprocessed emotions and physical symptoms (gut issues, hormonal imbalance, chronic illness) — and why the nervous system is always part of the conversation How we've become conditioned to outsource our health, our answers, and our healing to strangers on the internet — and why the most powerful answers already live inside you Why safety and permission are at the root of emotional processing — and how childhood conditioning shapes our nervous system well into adulthood   Let's dive in!

Most teams can identify friction in their customer experience. The challenge is convincing leadership to invest in fixing it. Digital leaders from Walmart, FanDuel, US Bank, and American Eagle have all faced that challenge. In this encore episode, hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino revisit key lessons on elevating frictionless experiences to the C-suite and reveal what separates ideas that get funded from those that don't.Vijay Jayaraman from Walmart explains how teams use peak events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday to quantify the impact of customer experience issues before they become major business problems. Shawn Sheely from US Bank shares how his team reframed accessibility from a compliance requirement into a billion-dollar market opportunity, helping reduce onboarding costs by 70%.Catherine Gignac from American Eagle offers a powerful perspective on designers as connectors, bringing together the work of dozens of stakeholders into a single customer experience.Scott Smith from FanDuel challenges a common assumption: stop obsessing over competitors. Your customers chose your brand for a reason. Instead of copying what others are doing, focus on understanding why your customers engage with you and what keeps them coming back.You'll also hear practical insights on measuring friction, defining the "spine" of an experience, interpreting customer behavior data, and translating customer pain points into business outcomes that executives care about.Key Actionable Takeaways:Quantify friction using peak seasonal periods to justify investment - A problem affecting 10,000 Walmart users today could impact millions on Black Friday; use known high-traffic events to correlate current issues with future revenue impact and demonstrate why fixing seemingly trivial problems matters nowReframe compliance as market opportunity not checkbox - US Bank saw accessibility as a billion-dollar market rather than legal requirement, reduced onboarding costs 70%, and opened entirely new customer channels by simplifying experiences for assistive technology usersPrioritize customer voice over competitive benchmarking - Your customers chose you because your brand resonates with them specifically; copying competitor journeys misses the point because their customers are fundamentally different people with different needs and preferencesWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter! https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/ Download the Five Step Site Speed Target Playbook: http://bluetriangle.com/playbookDom Costa's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/dominickcosta  Nick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladino Chuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chuck-moxley Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(03:18) Quantifying friction(06:20) Vijay peak periods(11:10) Black Friday first impressions(15:15) Scott traffic conversions(20:40) Sean accessibility market(27:00) Compliance reframe(31:25) Team alignment(38:00) Katherine designers as builders(43:40) Voice of customer(45:25) Customer vs competitor focus(53:15) Vijay customer first(57:00) Katherine friction tools(01:01:20) Data interpretation(01:03:31) Conclusion

The crew catches up on life updates—DFW golf events, BottleRock, Kevin's Hawaii trip, and dad duties—before diving into sports. They discuss Colorado teams' recent disappointments, Kluver's upcoming CrossFit competition adding combine-style tests (40, 5-10-5, broad and vertical), and Iowa football kickoff times for UNI, Northern Illinois, Iowa State (a night Cy-Hawk game at Kinnick), and Nebraska (11 a.m. on Black Friday). They debate the proposed 24-team College Football Playoff and potential changes like eliminating conference championships, weigh how expansion affects regular-season meaning, and react to a new punt rule restricting motion and formations, including numbering-workaround details. The episode includes sponsor mentions (FanDuel, Grey's Gourmet To Go, Illini Golf, Urology Center of Iowa) and previews upcoming summer episodes and guests.

In this episode, I'm speaking to the health and wellness practitioners, service providers, or really anyone who doesn't have a salary and needs to generate revenue through clients and offers. Whether you're trying to stabilize your income, pay off debt, fund a launch, or simply prove to yourself that you can create money intentionally - this one's for you.   The 5 Strategic Ways to Create $5K This Month: Sell a High-Value Intensive — Hormone audits, business strategy days, gut health deep dives, metabolic resets, content VIP days. People pay for clarity and speed. You don't need 30 low-ticket sales — you might only need 2–5 clients. Run a Small Group Program — A 14-day reset or 4-week reboot. No massive launch required. Just a specific problem, a clear transformation, and a community that needs support and structure right now. Resell to Your Existing Clients — Your easiest sale is always someone who already knows, likes, and trusts you. Past clients, warm leads, your email list — they are gold. A personal reach-out converts faster than passive posting every single time. Host a Master Class or Workshop — I am obsessed with teaching, and one powerful class can lead to memberships, program sign-ups, and 1:1 clients. People are craving practical, truth-based education. You don't need a fancy event center — I've hosted in my home, and something special happens when you do. Package Your Intellectual Property — You are sitting on a goldmine. Protocols, templates, guides, frameworks, recordings. Done is more profitable than perfect. Stop polishing and start selling.   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today.

Send us Fan MailTrent rolls solo and unleashes a Thanksgiving beatdown on stupidity across the force. He opens with the legendary tale of an Airman who annihilated a toilet so violently his supervisor wanted to write paperwork for it. Trent torches the obsession with rank, the dependas who think stripes transfer by marriage, and the clowns trying to overthrow Haiti like it's Walmart on Black Friday. He dives into culture clashes, NCO failures, marriage reality checks, and why the E1–E4 crowd still carries the whole damn Air Force. If you're fragile, buckle up.

In the latest episode of Scratch, Tracey-Lee gets into what it really takes to build trust in a controversial space, how she sells brand investment to a CFO who only speaks performance, and the Black Friday campaign where Payflex faked a data breach and somehow lived to tell the tale. The key takeaway:  1. Radical honesty is not a risk, it's a requirement In a controversial category, you have to be as loud with your rebuttals as your critics are with their attacks. Silence reads as guilt. 2. BNPL customers aren't who the headlines say they are Payflex users are not over-indebted people stretching to survive. They're actualizing. Identity-driven. The emotional need sits at the top of Maslow's hierarchy, not the bottom. 3. The two-year brand cliff is real Cut brand budget today, nothing happens for six months, maybe a year. Then sales tank. And to recover it, you spend two to three times what you cut. The lag is the weapon CMOs need to use in every CFO conversation. 4. Brief writing is a tattoo, not a tick box WATTW. What are we trying to achieve here. If you can't answer that before you brief, you shouldn't be briefing. 5. Marketing is an advocate for the market, not a go-to-market function Marketers need to be in the product room early, sometimes aggressively, because no product strategy survives contact with a customer insight that nobody bothered to bring in. 6. Learn the finances early The biggest unlock in Tracey-Lee's career was understanding what CFOs actually care about: customer equity, market share, lifetime value. Not ROAS. 7. Boldness needs justification, not just instinct The data breach campaign worked because it had a clear strategic logic behind it. Payflex is an innovator and Black Friday demands standout or silence.

This episode of The Rizzuto Show spirals beautifully from wholesome weekend recap into full-blown suburban psychological warfare. You know… like every responsible daily comedy show should.Lern kicks things off with an annual hibachi pilgrimage complete with onion volcanoes, airborne chicken, mysterious yum yum sauce addiction, and a vegetarian teenager accidentally catching meat in her mouth out of pure social pressure. Honestly, hibachi is less “restaurant” and more “public performance art with teriyaki.”Meanwhile, Rizz discovers that the neighborhood children may officially think he's the mean old guy on the hill. After overhearing kids whisper “those are Mr. Rizzuto's dogs,” the gang conducts a full emotional autopsy on how years of HOA complaints, dirt bike feuds, poop-bag incidents, and aggressive radio storytelling may have turned him into the suburban cryptid of his subdivision.The solution? Obviously a bounce house festival called “Curmudgeon Fest 2026.”The crew also dives deep into the newest suburban panic sweeping America: grown adults stampeding Five Below stores to hoard “Neatos” and “dumpling” squishy toys before actual children can buy them. Tiny kids crying. Parents fighting collectors. Black Friday energy in Wildwood. Humanity thriving.Elsewhere in the chaos:Rafe accidentally spends his Saturday bonding emotionally with a stained-glass artisan named Dave while listening to Foghat in a basement.Lern delivers a passionate iced coffee complaint that somehow becomes a full societal discussion.Rizz warns everyone about a terrifying new AI Uber scam involving fake mess photos and cleanup fees.The gang discusses documentaries built entirely from bodycam footage and social media evidence.They debate whether single dads hosting sleepovers has unfairly become suspicious in modern parenting culture.Plus stories about weird dads from the 90s, mooning cops, NA beers, and the exact emotional danger of getting insulted while trapped in an Adirondack chair.Basically this episode has: neighborhood drama hibachi lore emotional damage weird toy economics suburban anthropology middle-aged confusion and one very wounded Blackstone grillIf you like sarcastic chaos, ridiculous conversations, and a group of adults turning tiny life moments into a full sociology documentary, congratulations — this daily comedy show remains medically unsafe for productivity.And yes… somebody absolutely compared Rizz to the Addams Family neighbor everyone warns their kids about.Another totally normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I am so excited to bring you Part 2 of my conversation with Cynthia Thurlow — and we recorded this only 48 hours after Part 1 dropped because the feedback and questions from you were just pouring in. That told me everything I needed to know: this topic is hitting home. Cynthia's new book, The Menopause Gut, is out now and available everywhere — and honestly, I think it's going to change the conversation for so many women. We peeled back another layer of the gut this week and went deep on some things that genuinely stopped me in my tracks.   Chapters: 5:57 - The Estrobolome & Your Meds 11:27 - Reclaiming Metabolic Health 36:38 - GLP-1s: The Real Conversation 44:33 - Gut Health & Your Bones 46:14 - Trauma & Ovarian Aging 51:17 - Starting the Conversation Earlier   Let's dive in!

The entire world votes on America every single day with immigration. That's the real poll.And here's the part the Left hates. The more functional and prosperous America becomes, the more impossible it is for them to sell their victimhood franchise.Because modern Leftism requires America to be evil. It's foundational. If America is fundamentally good, then their entire emotional support ideology collapses like a vegan bodybuilder in a power outage.Think about what these people actually believe.They say America is systemically racist, yet millions of non-white immigrants desperately want to come here.They say capitalism is oppression, while posting those complaints from $1,200 smartphones ordered with free shipping.They say America is terrible, but notice how none of them ever move to the worker's paradise of North Korea. Funny how socialism is always somebody else's retirement plan.And history absolutely wrecks their argument.Name another country that became the dominant military power, economic engine, innovation capital, and cultural exporter simultaneously.America rebuilt Europe after World War II.We put a man on the moon.We created the modern internet.We dominate entertainment, technology, medicine, aviation, finance, and innovation so thoroughly that even people who hate America usually hate us using American apps on American phones while wearing American fashion trends.Even our enemies consume America like addicts hiding snacks under the bed.China criticizes us while sending their kids to American universities.Russian oligarchs don't stash money in Belarus. They stash it in Manhattan.Everybody talks tough about America until it's time to buy real estate, educate their children, or protect their assets.Then suddenly Old Glory starts looking pretty attractive.

Claire met Ellen Yin at a conference last year — and despite Ellen's podcast Cubicle to CEO crossing over a million downloads, Claire had never heard of her. Months later, Claire stumbled onto one of Ellen's offers on Instagram and bought it without thinking twice. "Take my money," she said! In this episode, Ellen shares how she built Cubicle to CEO into a media company, the brand partnership structure that has her landing campaigns with Fortune 500 names like Uber and Amazon, and the bespoke offer she launched right before Black Friday that brought in 28 partners. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: The decision Ellen made in 2022 that completely changed how her business makes money What it actually means when Ellen says her podcast IS the product (not a marketing channel) The minimum budget Ellen requires to even consider a brand partnership — and what brands get at the higher end Why Ellen stopped publicly sharing her annual revenue after five years — and the number she tracks instead now About Ellen Yin: Ellen Yin is the founder of Cubicle to CEO, a media and education company best known for its top-ranked podcast of the same name. Cubicle to CEO has served over 14,000 students, partnered with Fortune 500 brands like Uber, Amazon, ADP, and Indeed, and crossed over a million downloads on the show.

This week, Chris and I are sitting down together to talk about one of our favorite topics: building real, sustainable wealth without the overwhelm. If you've ever felt like you're behind, like it's too complicated, or like you just don't know where to start — this episode is for you.   What We Cover: We break down the four pillars of wealth that Chris uses with his clients every single day: The Safety Pillar — Your emergency fund. This is priority number one. We talk about why three to six months of expenses matters, what that actually looks like for your life (hint: it's different for everyone), and the magic of just having enough to sleep at night. The Future Pillar — This is your retirement strategy. RRSPs, TFSAs, first home savings plans, permanent life insurance — we break down why diversification here is non-negotiable and why the tax strategy behind your withdrawals matters just as much as the saving itself. The Freedom Pillar — Our favorite one to talk about. This is where your money starts working for you — rental income, dividends, non-registered investments — the assets that buy back your time and give you options. Could you retire earlier than you think? Maybe. The Legacy Pillar — What do you want your money to do after you're gone? We get into wills, estate planning, life insurance, and charitable giving — and why taking care of yourself first is actually the most loving thing you can do for the people you leave behind.   We Also Talk About: Why building wealth is honestly kind of boring (and why that's a good thing) The stats on why women tend to outperform men as long-term investors Why lottery winners go broke (and what that teaches us about money mindset) The most common wealth-building mistakes: starting too late, keeping cash under the mattress, spending your raise before you get it, not having a will, and trying to time the market Opportunity cost — why your daily latte isn't the villain, but your intention behind it matters How Chris breaks down $1,000/month across all four pillars (a simple rule of thumb you can actually use) Why your definition of financial freedom might be different from your partner's — and why that conversation is so important   Questions to Ask Yourself After This Episode: Which pillar am I strongest in right now? Which pillar needs the most work? Do I have a will? Do I have life insurance? What does financial freedom actually look like for me? What's one thing I can do this month to strengthen my weakest pillar?   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today. If you could rate, review & subscribe, it would mean the world to me!

On Black Friday 2016, 22-year-old Christopher “Cole” Thomas was driving through rural North Carolina with two coworkers. Hours later, the coworkers approached police and said Cole had suddenly panicked, pulled over, and ran into the dark, never to be seen again. But their story later changed. Surveillance footage showed Cole was not alone. Phone data appeared to place the group at the scene of a late-night drug deal that went wrong. And somehow, the only person who disappeared was Cole.  In the years since, multiple men have been arrested, questioned, and released, but no one has been charged with his disappearance. His body has not been found. And despite conflicting statements, investigators believe someone knows exactly what happened that night. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Benson Police Department at 919-894-2091 or info@bensonpd.org. You can also call the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation at 919-779-8188.   Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmxt6Ok6Qmo  Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

A 20-year career in high-level finance ended in a single day when Donna Gilbertson was made redundant with one day's notice. No plan B, two kids at home, and a household now running on one income — she could have played it safe and taken the next accounting role that came along. She went to the interviews. Every single time, she didn't want to be there. So instead, she pulled $7,000 from her home loan offset account and bet it on a hair towel. Two months after launching Junie, she'd done $51,000 in sales. In this episode, Donna walks us through the full journey — from product validation surveys and months of failed fabric samples, to a viral moment she almost missed because she was watching MasterChef on the couch. She gets honest about the slow weeks, the seven days without a single sale, and what it actually took to be ready when the opportunity came. What you'll learn in this interview: How a $7,000 first order placed in October and shipped by sea set the foundation for a February launch that was deliberately timed to avoid Black Friday, Christmas, and the January spending slump Why Donna surveyed just 25 people before committing to the product — and how that small step gave her enough confirmation to keep going The exact sourcing process that led her through dozens of fabric rejections before finding the one supplier who could produce what she needed How she built six months of Instagram content before ever announcing the product, and why posting vague "hair content" was a deliberate strategy The 15-minute school pickup filming hack that got her consistent with face-to-camera content when nothing else was working Why having 50+ reviews live on her store before the viral moment mattered as much as the viral moment itself The comment on a stranger's Instagram reel — written while watching MasterChef — that turned into 347 orders and a complete sellout in under 24 hours How she validated opening preorders by going back to her audience and asking them directly, before touching a single Shopify setting Lessons from going from $0 in orders one week to 600 orders the next — and how her accounting brain helped her scale inventory decisions with confidence The mindset shift that changed everything: the moment she stopped treating Junie as something she was "dabbling in" and decided it was her job If you're sitting on a business idea while still applying for jobs — or you've launched but you're deep in the slow, invisible stretch between start and traction — this episode is for you. Donna's story is a reminder that the boring, unglamorous work of validation, reviews, and showing up consistently before anything goes viral is exactly what makes it possible to handle it when it does.
