1602 D&S: This is a No-Tariff Zone Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to the States by charging other countries more to send us stuff to sell, but here's the problem with U.S. tariffs- If Nike makes a shoe in Indonesia, the cost of manufacturing, shipping, AND a big tariff added on still makes it about 80% cheaper than manufacturing it in the US. Is Nike going to take a hit on the profit of those shoes when a tariff is added? Hell no, they're just going to pass the cost onto the consumer. So, if you were wondering who pays for tariffs? It's the consumer. That's your economics lesson for the day. Sorry no time left for me to listen to the episode and write show notes now. But I will add this link that Strickland sent me:

1600 D&S: Built on Bad Math Apr 04, 2025

Show notes

That's right Funk'N Fans- Just like Las Vegas, the fuckery is built on bad math. I actually listened to the show this week (go figure!) and Jared's VM made me want to go back and check the episode numbering. Well, damn if he wasn't right! Someone slipped in a few "bonus episodes" here and there, so sure enough, this is episode 1600. Kind of anti-climactic, right? Would you expect anything else from these two mouth-breathers? Here's a couple of fun links to check out, Mazel-Tov:

Jim Hardwick Leads of Life of Significance Mar 24, 2025

Show notes

Jim went to Kenya in 2018 which revealed his true calling. He went at the encouragement of a friend, and in a single moment, discovered a need that would pivot his life in ways he could not have imagined. While on safari, Jim visited a medical clinic for the Masai people, and learned that they didn’t have access to critical dental care. Since his wife, Jody, is a dental hygienist, he knew instantly how to solve that problem. Ten months later, he had founded the Hardwick Foundation, and they led their first dental team to Kenya. In this inaugural trip, 191 people were treated and 258 procedures were performed in a tent, at no charge to the patients. The impact was instant and significant, and that’s the moment he knew his mission was much larger than himself.

Today, Jim helps servant leaders go beyond their borders through a program he created called Magnificent Significance. He serves small to midsize business owners who want to live intentional lives and achieve superabundance through service. His experience includes over 25 years in executive leadership, helping his clients generate profitable revenue while taking a deeper look into what really matters by igniting a business culture of engagement and collaboration. Jim has traveled to 42 countries and experienced many different cultures. He is also a keynote speaker who shares his unique servant leadership journey from sales to nonprofits to safaris. He and Jody are proud to be the 2022 recipients of the James E. MacLennan Everyday Hero award through Up With People. His core mission is to encourage his clients to embrace their servant’s heart to elevate their business.

The Sister Project Takes Over NGOB Mar 17, 2025

Show notes

Lauren and Michelle are the founders of The Sister Project and hosts of Cozy Conversations—a podcast that combines self-care with a side of badass and sass. They believe in doing less and finding pleasure in the little things… like a perfect cup of coffee or, let’s be real, a well-timed nap, tattoo sleeves and as of recording date, a belief in Galentine’s Day – basically I interpret as a dose of Fuck it romance and bring on the Fuck Love attitude.
