In this episode of the Bug Bucks Podcast, Allan welcomes Seth Fenn, the founder of Cura Pest Control and a third-generation pest professional with deep roots in the industry. After starting his career in pest control, Seth stepped away to gain valuable experience in the construction and finance sectors. Those years gave him a unique skill set and perspective that he later brought back into pest control when he launched Cura just six years ago.Since then, Cura has grown into one of Southern California's fastest-growing and most trusted pest control companies. Seth shares the behind-the-scenes story of how he built a strong brand in a competitive market and the role that platforms like Yelp and SEO played in establishing credibility and driving early growth. He also talks about the grind and rewards of building a 55-person door-knocking team, the leadership lessons he's learned along the way, and why staying disciplined with marketing and sales systems is key to scaling.This episode is full of practical takeaways for pest control owners at any stage — whether you're just getting started or looking to take your business to the next level. Seth's journey is proof that combining industry knowledge with outside experience and relentless effort can create powerful results.Check out Cura Pest Here: www.curapest.com

Emergency Room physician Dr. Amy Gutman has seen it all—and she's not afraid to tell the truth about what's killing her patients. Known as “Tough Love MD,” Amy blends compassion with blunt honesty, challenging the culture of quick fixes, patient satisfaction scores, and a medical system that too often keeps people “comfortable” instead of healthy.Drawing from her own journey with obesity, chronic illness, and a learning disability, Amy offers an empowering message of hope: the solution is simple—but not easy—and it starts with good nutrition, daily movement, and the belief that you're better than your circumstances.In this eye-opening conversation, Amy shares what it's like to work on the front lines where 85% of patients have chronic, preventable diseases, yet few are ready to make the lifestyle changes that could truly save their lives. From the shift in medicine from survival rates to Yelp-style reviews, to the dangers of the “kind lie,” Amy pulls back the curtain on a system that rewards keeping patients happy rather than well.If you've ever wondered why your doctor might not tell you the whole truth, or how tough love can actually be the most compassionate care of all, this episode will change the way you see medicine—and yourself. Keep your eyes open for Amy's new book arriving soon - Powerhouse Living: Lead Your Life Like a Resuscitation!

Most people buy a restaurant and inherit someone else's problems. John Gelastopoulos bought a closed breakfast spot, maxed out his credit cards to keep it alive—and turned it into a 41-location powerhouse. The secret? Relentless persistence and an obsession with people.In this conversation, John shares how he went from washing dishes to franchising nationwide, why filling the dining room once can create a lasting ripple effect, and the systems that keep his culture intact across dozens of locations. We get into scaling without losing empathy, making smart pricing moves through economic swings, and focusing only on what you can control—no matter the competition.If you're ready to see how grit, relationships, and a well-timed Rolodex can build an empire, this episode delivers.To learn more about Broken Yolk Café and their franchise opportunities, visit www.thebrokenyolkcafe.com____________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Why do some people rise effortlessly while others go unnoticed? Toby E. Stuart, Leo Helzel Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, joins AJ and Johnny to reveal how social status—not just talent—shapes careers, opportunities, and success. Drawing from decades of research on social networks and status dynamics, Toby explains why recognition compounds like interest, why affiliation often matters more than merit, and how “anointing” can quietly decide who wins in today's winner-take-most world. From Nobel Prizes to Michelin stars to online platforms like Yelp, Stuart uncovers the paradox of prestige: success is as much about who endorses you as what you achieve. He also explores the dark side of status—scams, pressure to maintain it, and the loneliness of reaching the top. If you've ever felt overlooked despite strong results, this episode exposes the hidden rules of the status game and how to finally play it smarter. What to Listen For [00:00:00] Why affiliation and endorsements boost status more than raw merit [00:01:17] The Matthew Effect: small early wins snowball into long-term success [00:03:14] How identity shapes evaluation—Lord Rayleigh's “voodoo science” story [00:06:05] Achieved vs. ascribed status and why both determine outcomes [00:08:32] Algorithms as modern gatekeepers of status [00:13:16] Why “anointers” now include platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Yelp [00:17:26] How status transfers through networks like kinetic energy [00:23:25] The rise (and risk) of gaming the status system [00:27:42] The hamster wheel of high status: pressure, scrutiny, and imposter syndrome [00:33:42] Why authentic friendships become harder at the top [00:40:29] The future of status in the age of AI and algorithms A Word From Our Sponsors Stop being over looked and unlock your X-Factor today at ⁠unlockyourxfactor.com⁠  The very qualities that make you exceptional in your field are working against you socially.  Visit the ⁠artofcharm.com/intel ⁠for a social intelligence assessment and discover exactly what's holding you back.

Over the past few months, the economic debate has heated up: the Federal Reserve is weighing the possibility of lowering interest rates, President Trump has already extended corporate tax cuts, and the national debt continues to soar. What does all of this mean for your retirement security? In this episode, we unpack how lower rates could affect everything from your 401(k) and pension returns to the cost of borrowing in retirement. We'll also explore why Trump is pressing for lower rates — arguing it will ease pressure on the ballooning national debt and further stimulate business growth following his extension of corporate tax cuts. But not everyone agrees. Democrats continue to push for raising taxes on the wealthy as their answer to debt and inequality, setting up a stark contrast in economic philosophy. One side wants to grow the economy by slashing taxes and borrowing more cheaply; the other says it's time for the top earners to shoulder the load. As markets, policymakers, and retirees all brace for the Fed's next move, we'll break down the stakes, the politics, and what it means for your financial future.

"I have so many burning questions." Our podcast, Reality Escape Pod, isn't exactly short-form content. Most episodes clock in at over fifty minutes, and yet, I always feel like I didn't get enough time with the guest. "But I've still got some burning questions!" I think to myself. Or maybe I have follow up questions, but I didn't want to interrupt the flow of conversation. Luckily, we have our Bonus Aftershow. I love this format because David and I are able to have more casual conversations with our guests, rather than the more formal interview on Reality Escape Pod. The Bonus Show chats run the gamut from in-depth design discussions, to workshopping business or game ideas, to just trading battle stories of escape rooms gone awry. In the Best of Bonus, I picked some of my favorite moments from our Season 9 Bonus Aftershow episodes. I really loved hearing more stories from James Douberly about the MIT Mystery Hunt, and listening to Neil Patrick Harris talk about magic and escape rooms. Jon and Ryan from The Great Gotham Challenge kept talking about "risky puzzles" and I finally had the chance to ask them about this concept. We also got the definitive answer from Steven Medway, creator of Blood on the Clocktower, on whether townsfolk (Team Good) should be executing every day in the game. The Bonus Aftershow is included when you become a Patreon supporter of Room Escape Artist. Join today for access to our library of over 100 episodes of the Bonus Aftershow. We put a lot of love and time into creating the best possible content that supports our mission of elevating the escape room industry.

Send us a textFeeling trapped in the Google advertising hamster wheel? You're not alone. As contractors face rising ad costs and diminishing returns from traditional search marketing, many are desperately seeking alternatives—but fear venturing into unfamiliar territory.This episode dismantles the myths surrounding lead aggregation platforms like Yelp, Thumbtack, Angie, and Nextdoor. Rather than dismissing these platforms based on outdated perceptions or single negative experiences, we explore how they function as digital versions of neighborhood referrals—connecting homeowners seeking trusted service providers with qualified contractors.Nick Miller of Viral joins Crystal to share game-changing insights about what makes these platforms work. The conversation reveals that success hinges on three critical factors: patience (giving platforms enough time to show consistent results), speed-to-lead (responding within 60 seconds, not minutes), and proper budget allocation (understanding the threshold for meaningful participation in your specific market).What emerges is a compelling case for diversification. While no platform delivers perfect leads every time, incorporating these lead sources into a holistic marketing strategy creates stability when viewed over time. The discussion addresses common operational hurdles, like CSR training and response protocols, while providing practical metrics to evaluate performance beyond simple revenue tracking.Whether you're struggling with Google's rising costs or simply looking to expand your lead generation approach, this episode offers a fresh perspective on often-overlooked opportunities. By approaching these platforms with realistic expectations and strategic implementation, contractors can break free from single-source dependency and build more sustainable growth.Ready to rethink your lead generation strategy? Listen now and discover how to make lead aggregators work for your contracting business.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.

In this episode of Carlsbad People, Purpose and Impact, host Bret Schanzenbach, President and CEO of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, sits down with Galina Marcus, founder and CEO of the San Diego Art Directory, to explore her journey from Moscow to San Diego and her mission to elevate the region's art scene.Galena shares her backstory, growing up in cosmopolitan Moscow and moving to the U.S. in 2015 to marry her husband, a San Diego native she met—unexpectedly—on LinkedIn. With a creative background in fashion design, Galena discovered her passion for marketing while working in Russia for global companies like Hitachi Power Tools and an aviation brokerage. After relocating to San Diego, she led marketing for a telecom firm before eventually stepping away to focus on her art.The transition wasn't easy, but she found painting—particularly abstract and surrealist portraiture—both healing and fulfilling. Covid-19 became a turning point: her solo show was canceled, but isolation inspired her to start a podcast called In the Art Scene. Through it, she connected with artists worldwide, uncovering common themes of imposter syndrome, perseverance, and the challenges of making a living through art.Her conversations revealed how fragmented San Diego's creative community was, despite its vibrancy. Learning that the county had only recently established an Arts and Culture Commission, she decided to act. She launched the San Diego Art Directory, a grassroots, Yelp-like hub for arts and culture across the county. The platform now hosts thousands of listings, newsletters, and social media outreach, becoming a trusted resource for both artists and residents seeking performances, exhibits, and creative opportunities.Beyond the directory, Galena and her team curate programs like Activated Spaces, which partners with businesses to rotate local art on their walls, and the San Diego Artist Network, a job-matching platform connecting artists with businesses needing creative services. Importantly, her work advocates for artists to be paid fairly—countering the “work for exposure” mentality.The conversation highlights her newest endeavor, Homegrown Artbeat, a multidisciplinary arts festival debuting September 6 at Union Hall Gallery. Designed as an immersive experience, the event will feature live painting, music, dance, workshops, and visual art, showcasing San Diego's creative talent while ensuring participating artists receive stipends.Ultimately, Galena's story blends resilience, entrepreneurship, and a passion for community impact. Through the San Diego Art Directory, she is helping transform perception of San Diego from “not cultural enough” into a thriving, interconnected arts hub that contributes over a billion dollars annually to the local economy.

What if a restaurant wasn't a business—but a way to rebuild a broken city?That's how Robért LeBlanc saw it after Hurricane Katrina. He didn't just open a venue—he created a space to reconnect a fractured community. In this episode, we go deep on how Robért has used hospitality to heal, unite, and inspire. From the ethos behind his post-Katrina nightclub to the values driving his now 350-person company, Robért shares how storytelling, humility, and a culture of ownership have become his ultimate competitive edge.

Take our listener survey!  Dom and Andy are back with a mind-bending, occasionally stomach-turning episode of Between Two Pines. Dom recounts his very pukey Angeles Crest 100 experience (complete with landscape-mode vomit footage), while Andy reflects on the etiquette of awkward road-path drafting and the fine legal distinctions of fart assault. Then, the guys welcome ultrarunning phenom Rachel Entrekin, fresh off her 18-race winning streak and course-record run at Cocodona 250. Rachel talks training secrets, fueling mishaps, PT superpowers, and why running might just be her way of filling the void. Along the way, the conversation veers into Yelp reviews of trail poops, the Hunter S. Thompson 50-miler, racing turtles (vs. bears), and whether Rachel might one day join the French contingent at Hardrock. Thanks to our sponsors, Janji and Dirtbag Bar!
