    My guest today is Bill Cates.

    His new book was released on September 16, 'The Hidden Heist'.

    We had a great conversation about sales and parable that drives his new book.

    In our conversation, we touch on:

    • The 3 Rs that can help make you successful.
    • The challenges of drawing people's attention.
    • Strategy v. Tactics.
    • Differentiation.
    • Reputation.
    • Tangible v. Intangible.

    Plus, more more more!!!

  • Jakob Eliason brings 'Pickleball as a Service' to Venues Around the Country

    Jakob Eliason brings 'Pickleball as a Service' to Venues Around the Country
    Sep 2 2025

    My guest today is Jakob Eliason.

    He's one of the co-founders of Pickleball Pop Ups. 'Pickelball as a service' as Jakob describes the concept.

    This one was fun because that's the foundation of what Jakob and his partner and team are doing with the sport.

    We had a great conversation about the business model, financialization, and where this idea all began.

    Spoiler: like a lot of good ideas, it started with craft beer.
