Not all financial advisors operate under the same rules, or have the same legal obligation to put your interests first. In this week's show, we explain the four primary types of financial advisors, including broker-dealers, insurance agents, registered investment advisors (RIAs), and do-it-yourself investing. You'll also learn the differences between the fiduciary, Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI), and suitability standards, how advisors are compensated, the strengths and limitations of robo-advisors and AI, and the key questions every investor should ask before choosing someone to help manage their financial future.

George disappeared from the internet for three years. When he came back, he found an entire Reddit thread: a community of people genuinely unsure if he was still alive. He had no idea it existed. And that's exactly the point. Your online reputation is working for you or against you right now. Whether you're watching it or not. John Horn is the CEO of StubGroup, a top Google Premier Partner agency that has generated over half a billion dollars in client revenue. In this conversation, he and George break down what online reputation actually is in 2026, how AI has permanently raised the stakes, and the simple actions every business owner can take today to make sure what people find online matches who they actually are. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why your online reputation is the first thing a prospect sees and why most owners have no idea what it looks like How AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are surfacing old reviews you forgot existed The 80/20 approach to managing your presence without spreading yourself thin Why responding to every review (good and bad) is one of the highest-ROI things you can do The "painting vs. garden" strategy for platforms you no longer actively use How to audit your curb appeal and what to fix first The ethical approach to paid ads that builds trust instead of eroding it Why the buying cycle is never linear and how to control what prospects find at every touchpoint Key Takeaways: ✔️Perception is reality. You can do the best work in the world, but if your online presence doesn't reflect it, prospects will never give you the chance to prove it. ✔️Google your own name, then Google your name plus "reviews." Be surprised. Then fix it. ✔️AI is surfacing reviews from 2014. Negative reviews you forgot about are being cited by ChatGPT and Gemini right now as part of prospect research. ✔️Respond to every review, especially the positive ones. Two minutes per review. Massive signal to prospects that you're human, present, and you care. ✔️Don't delete inactive social profiles, turn them into paintings. Update the bio, pin a redirect post, and let them quietly direct traffic where you actually exist. ✔️You don't have to be everywhere. Pick one platform to anchor your reviews. Monitor where Google surfaces everything else. Show up just enough to demonstrate you're alive. ✔️Ethical marketing means your online presence and your actual client experience are the same thing. Inconsistency is the trap. ✔️The buying journey is not linear. Someone may find your Facebook page at 10pm after a movie. What they see at that moment sets the tone. Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — The Reddit thread George didn't know existed and what it taught him about reputation [01:16] — Welcome: half a billion in client revenue and a decade in the trenches [03:47] — What becomes possible when you actually know what your reputation looks like online [05:41] — How to define your online reputation and where to start [08:15] — Curb appeal: the best metaphor for everything we cover in this episode [09:40] — Perception is reality: why the best work in the world doesn't matter if it's not visible [11:25] — The 80/20 review strategy and why Google is still the anchor [13:20] — When the market tells you where to show up (the roofing company on Yelp) [18:00] — Responding to reviews: why it's the most underused reputation tool [22:00] — AI and your old reviews: what ChatGPT is surfacing from 2014 [30:00] — The non-linear buying cycle and controlling your touchpoints [32:07] — The "painting vs. garden" strategy for inactive social profiles [35:49] — The biggest missed opportunity John sees across every client [42:00] — Ethical paid advertising: what it means and why it actually scales better [52:00] — Generative engine optimization: the new frontier of online reputation [58:54] — Where to find John and how to connect [1:00:49] — Tattoo wisdom: don't let AI suck the soul out of your client relationships [1:02:00] — George's closing: one thing, today, not next month Connect with John: John Horn is the CEO of StubGroup, a top Google Premier Partner agency. Over the past decade, he and his team have generated over half a billion dollars in client revenue and taught more than 100,000 students how to navigate paid digital marketing.

House of the Dragon S3E3 Review: SPOILER ALERT Rhaenyra has King's Landing… but she might also be losing her mind. This week on Thumb War, we break down House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3, aka what Rachel calls Rhaenyra's Unraveling. The Red Keep is haunted, the music is screaming, everyone is starving, Corlys is furious, Daemon wants to burn the world down, and Rhaenyra decides the best way to win over the nobles is to serve them a beautiful feast of rats. Rachel loved the episode's descent into Targaryen madness. Jason thinks the show keeps cutting away from the exact moments we need to see — especially when dragons are involved. We get into the Ormund Hightower standoff, Alicent and Rhaenyra's weird little soul connection, whether Team Black is falling apart, and why someone needs to make a Downton Abbey-style House of the Dragon episode set entirely in the Red Keep kitchen.

The Ultimate Health Assessment: 400 Biomarkers That Could Save Your Life www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Dr. Clint Phillips - MediciMedici Website:Personal Website: Instagram: @medicihealthDr. Gabi AppIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams sits down with Dr. Clint Phillips, founder of Medici Health, to discuss the future of personalized medicine, AI-driven health optimization, peptides, and preventative healthcare.Dr. Phillips shares his deeply personal journey into longevity science, explaining how losing multiple family members at a young age inspired him to dedicate his career to helping people live longer, healthier lives. After building a successful chiropractic and rehabilitation practice in Aspen, Colorado, and later co-founding a medical second-opinion company following his daughter's stroke, he launched Medici Health with one mission: prevent disease before it starts.The conversation dives into Medici's comprehensive annual health assessment, which collects over 400 health data points through advanced blood testing, DNA analysis, DEXA scans, vascular imaging, skin AI analysis, cancer screening, balance testing, and more. Rather than treating disease after it develops, Medici focuses on identifying each person's unique risk factors and creating highly personalized strategies based on genetics, biomarkers, and lifestyle.Brad and Dr. Phillips discuss why personalized medicine is replacing the "one-size-fits-all" approach to health, highlighting examples where simple lifestyle changes—guided by genetic testing—can dramatically reduce disease risk. They also explore the growing role of artificial intelligence in healthcare, including Medici's AI assistant, Dr. Gabby, which helps users interpret health data, evaluate supplements, scan food products, and even estimate cardiovascular risk using only a smartphone camera.The discussion also covers the rapidly growing field of peptides. Dr. Phillips explains why peptides show tremendous promise for longevity and recovery but emphasizes that they should always be paired with proper laboratory monitoring rather than taken blindly. Brad agrees that objective testing is essential since feeling better doesn't always mean your body is responding positively.Throughout the interview, both emphasize that true health isn't simply avoiding illness—it's building resilience through exercise, nutrition, preventative testing, personalized care, and consistent habits. Dr. Phillips also praises personal trainers as some of the most influential professionals in preventive healthcare, reinforcing Brad's philosophy that fitness coaching remains one of the best investments people over 40 can make.Whether you're interested in biohacking, longevity, AI-powered healthcare, preventative medicine, or simply maximizing your healthspan, this episode provides an insightful look at where the future of healthcare is heading and how personalized data may soon replace generic health advice.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzVDisclaimer: The information provided on this podcast, including interviews and recommendations, is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Before the chaos begins, Trevin shares an update on getting his first tattoo—a memorial piece honoring his dog Mabel—and discovers that the anticipation was far scarier than the tattoo itself.

Over 40? Your Body Is Losing This Critical Molecule Every Day Click On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Dr. Luke Bucci - Juvenon Supplementswww.Juvenon.comIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams sits down with Dr. Luke Bucci, Chief Scientific Officer at Juvenon Supplements, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing adults over 40: declining energy, metabolism, and overall vitality.Dr. Bucci shares his fascinating journey into the supplement industry, beginning with his early exposure to pathology through his father and eventually becoming a leading researcher in nutrition and longevity science. Together, Brad and Dr. Bucci explore how aging impacts the body's ability to produce nitric oxide, a critical molecule responsible for blood flow, exercise performance, brain function, and cellular health.The conversation dives deep into:Why nitric oxide production naturally declines with ageHow poor lifestyle habits accelerate that declineThe role of blood flow in energy levels, exercise performance, and recoveryThe differences between common nitric oxide supplements such as arginine, citrulline, and newer arginine-silicate technologiesWhy plant-based polyphenols and vegetables play a key role in supporting vascular healthBrad and Dr. Bucci also examine the importance of mitochondria—the tiny energy-producing structures inside every cell. Dr. Bucci explains how mitochondria respond to exercise, nutrition, and supplementation, while Brad shares practical strategies he uses with his over-40 clients to stimulate mitochondrial growth through strength training, cardio, and high-intensity interval training.Additional topics include:CoQ10 and ubiquinol for cellular energy productionAcetyl-L-carnitine and its role in fat metabolismThe benefits of strategic intermittent fastingWhy moderate stress can be beneficial for long-term healthThe importance of maintaining muscle mass as we ageToward the end of the episode, Dr. Bucci highlights a frequently overlooked area of aging: joint health. He explains why cartilage repair takes years rather than months and discusses the long-term research supporting glucosamine and chondroitin supplementation for maintaining healthy joints and mobility.This episode is packed with science-backed insights and practical strategies designed to help adults over 40 improve energy, preserve muscle, support cardiovascular health, and maintain an active lifestyle for decades to come.Key Takeaway: Aging may be inevitable, but declining energy and performance don't have to be. By supporting blood flow, mitochondrial function, exercise consistency, proper nutrition, and joint health, it's possible to significantly improve how you feel and perform well into your later years.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzVDisclaimer: The information provided on this podcast, including interviews and recommendations, is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

"Pick an immersive subgenre, and I think that it can be made better by the escape room model." For the Season 11 finale of Reality Escape Pod, we're turning the spotlight inward. After years of writing reviews, producing podcasts, running RECON, hosting Tours, and building a community around immersive experiences, we asked our audience a simple question "What do you think?" Hundreds of you responded to the Room Escape Artist audience census, sharing how you engage with our work, what you want more of, and where we can improve. Lisa Spira, editor-in-chief of Room Escape Artist, data wizard, and David's wife, joins us on the podcast to for a deep dive into the census results. We received over 200 responses to our massive audience survey covering topics ranging from audience demographics and favorite content formats to the future of escape rooms, the rise of immersive experiences, community feedback, and some honest critiques. We gained perspective on what our audience enjoys, their awareness of REA content, and how they consume immersive experiences. Some results were truly surprising, including how many escape rooms the average participant plays per year. We also asked for your feedback, critiques, and worries. We addressed many of the criticisms with honest and candid replies about why some aspects of Room Escape Artist have changed over the years. We also acknowledged times when we got things wrong and explained the reasoning behind the editorial schedule and structure. I really enjoyed sharing this behind-the-scenes look at Room Escape Artist. I thought the most interesting parts of this episode were seeing how much thought goes into the choices behind the content we put out, why certain reviews get written, why some trends excite us, and how difficult it is to serve a global community with wildly different interests. This was a conversation about growth, and the future of Room Escape Artist, REPOD, and the escape room industry. When it comes to escape rooms, there is room for different kinds of play. We're seeing experiences that blur the lines between escape rooms, theater, games, and adventure. As David puts it, "The medium continues to evolve, and that's exactly what makes it exciting." I couldn't agree more. Whether you found us through reviews, podcasts, RECON, Tours, or somewhere else entirely, we appreciate being part of your escape room journey. Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the census and share feedback, and to those who support our community and continue listening.

You know it's going to be one of those days when the show starts by debating whether cats actually lower your stress or just silently judge you while your blood pressure rises. Then somehow we're celebrating birthdays, discussing skydiving accidents, and reminiscing about the absolutely chaotic way people lived in the '80s and '90s.In this daily podcast, the gang dives into the newest attraction in St. Charles County—a splash pad so slippery that it had to close almost immediately because kids were wiping out like rookie hockey players. Naturally, this leads to a conversation about how we all somehow survived childhood despite playgrounds that seemed specifically designed to launch us into emergency rooms.Then we head down memory lane. Remember when barbershops had Playboy magazines sitting right in the waiting room? Or when parents sent their kids to the store to buy cigarettes? Or when finding a job meant circling classified ads and hoping you didn't accidentally join a fake cologne sales operation? Moon nearly became a parking-lot fragrance entrepreneur, and honestly, that's a career path none of us saw coming.There's also talk about terrifying wrong-way drivers, severe weather rolling through the region, and why everyone apparently knew a guy trying to sell knockoff cologne from a duffel bag in a grocery store parking lot. Plus, we take a look at modern parenting versus the "figure it out and don't die" approach most of us grew up with.And yes, there's ice cream. Because no episode called Ice Cream Showdown & The Perils of Yelp Reviews! would be complete without passionately debating frozen treats and questioning whether online reviews have officially broken everyone's brains.This daily podcast is packed with weird news, nostalgic chaos, hilarious stories, and the kind of conversations that somehow start in one place and end somewhere completely different. In other words, it's exactly what you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for hanging out with your favorite daily podcast.

What do customers love and hate about coffee shops? It feels like a question that is too easy to answer and as a result I believe we do not spend nearly enough time researching it. This past weekend I spoke in Chicago at Coffee Fest. In preparation we analyzed the most positive reviews and negative reviews of the worst rated and best rated cafes on Google and Yelp in the Chicago area. The results fell in line with some assumption I had based on what I have seen from my own years in coffee and consulting. In addition though, when compiled and organized, there were a few things that I found very interesting that we all need to think deeply about. So today we are going to be going over the list of things that people love and hate about coffee shops from this research and how this speaks to the greater issues in how we approach running our shops and the the path forward from here. 1:1 CONSULTING + COACHING! If you are a cafe owner and want to work one on one with me to bring your shop to its next level and help bring you joy and freedom in the process then email chris@keystothshop.com of book a free call now: https://calendly.com/chrisdeferio/30min Related Episodes: SHIFT BREAK!

"The connection between the solver and the setter is really important." If you're a daily puzzle lover, your morning might start something like mine: pouring a cup of coffee and jumpstarting the brain with my favorite snack-sized games. Chief among those are the snappy games at LinkedIn, such as Queens, Zip, Tango, and Patches. The man behind this collection of puzzles powering LinkedIn's Games section is Thomas Snyder. Thomas Snyder is a three-time World Sudoku Champion, co-author of the foundational puzzle design book Puzzlecraft, and Principal Puzzle Master at LinkedIn Games. A Harvard trained chemist, Thomas is a scientist at heart. He has a methodical approach to puzzle solving and puzzle crafting that makes for satisfying logic puzzles. However, there's also a lot of artistry to the puzzles Thomas designs. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that each puzzle put out by LinkedIn is handcrafted. There is a playfulness and inventiveness to the layout and solve path. There's a dance between the puzzle creator and the solver. Thomas posts videos on LinkedIn of his solve path for the games, and he talks to us about the conversation that sparks. In fact, the whole reason behind the puzzle offerings at LinkedIn was to create opportunities for users to connect socially and bond over the games. I especially appreciated talking about puzzles that empathize with the solver and how to create approachable puzzles that can still delight expert players. LinkedIn just launched their newest game Wend, which is Thomas's take on a word search puzzle. We also played a game I wrote, which Thomas solved embarrassingly (for me) quickly, but we had fun, which is the whole point. If you enjoy zippy puzzle games, check out the LinkedIn Collection, and for even more fun games-on-the-go, listen to PG's Playhouse.

" There are three defining characteristics of a Sauve Qui Peut game: an unusual underlying concept, commitment to the bit, and beautifully painted murals." They do things a little differently around here. That's been Steven Keller's personal design philosophy ever since he started making his first escape rooms at his company, Sauve Qui Peut, located in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu in Quebec, Canada. If you've ever played games at this company, you'd know the house style is that there is no house style. Every game feels distinct and different, almost like they were designed by different people. And yet Steven is the mad genius behind it all. Steven is one of the most instinct-driven designers I've encountered in this industry. He designed his first three rooms within five months of having the idea, before he'd even signed a lease. He deliberately avoided playing other escape rooms early on so he wouldn't get influenced. However, he eventually abandoned this philosophy when he realized that Egyptian-themed rooms were not, in fact, his invention. What hasn't changed is his core approach: start with one really cool thing, build around it, and figure out the story last. Like I said, they do things a little differently around here. However, Steve doesn't do it alone. Shawn Mercier is Steven's right hand man, and he joins us also to give us the nuts and bolts perspective. He started as a gamemaster, began quietly fixing and improving mechanisms, and pretty soon made himself indispensable. Shawn introduced more sophisticated and reliable tech to Sauve Qui Peut's rooms. He helps keep everything running smoothly, all before he turned 26! We know, because he celebrated his birthday with us on the day of our recording. Together, Steve and Shawn are responsible for some of the most inventive and, yes, slightly unhinged escape room design in Quebec. I really appreciated hearing Steven talk about his design process. There's a madcap creative improv quality to it, and it's part of what makes their games so quirky and memorable. If you enjoyed this conversation and want to check out the games at Sauve Qui Peut, consider joining us on one of our future Escape, Immerse, Explore tours to the Montreal area.
