Speaker 1 This is Right About Now with Ryan Alford, a Radcast Network Production.

Speaker 1 We are the number one business show on the planet with over 1 million downloads a month,

Speaker 1 taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes. You ready to start snapping next and cashing checks? Well, it starts right about now.

Speaker 2 What's up, guys? Welcome to Right About Now.

Speaker 2 Happy New Year as we start 2025 here on our weekly Marketing and Business News of the Week, January 3rd, 2025. What's up, Chris Hansen?

Speaker 3 What's up, big dog? How are you? I'm good, man.

Speaker 2 Happy New Year. Happy New Year.
If you're listening to this, it is the new year.

Speaker 2 We are admittedly, we do pre-record these, but we are in 2025 when you're listening because this release is on the Friday. I am definitely on the beach at this moment in time.

Speaker 2 I'm just going to play shift myself. I'm having,

Speaker 2 okay, it's around noon when we're recording this. I'm probably on my first like beer and margarita mix with some pancakes.

Speaker 2 Nice.

Speaker 3 That's a breakfast of champions, brunch of champions.

Speaker 2 Exactly. What's cooking, Chris, in Miami? You know, like

Speaker 2 it's the new year.

Speaker 3 Any new year, yeah, man.

Speaker 3 I expect the gym to be very busy

Speaker 3 with new year resolutioners.

Speaker 2 Yes, exactly. It's so funny.
Like, it is funny how, like, you know, we joke about that, but, like, it's so true. Like, every, that's why I built my own home gym.
Like, I'm doing it all.

Speaker 2 I got the garage. My garage has been converted because I kind of, I'm, I'm getting old, man.
I know it. Like, I go in and I like having some people around some humanity.

Speaker 2 But it just sort of drives me crazy because, like, you know, I'm not Mr. Olympia, but I got a routine.
I'm consistent. Doesn't take New Year's.

Speaker 2 And I walk in and I'm like, I'm proud of people, but at the same time, I'm like, damn, man,

Speaker 2 I'm waiting for shit to only have to wait on.

Speaker 3 Waiting for it to hurt to thin out a little bit, come like, you know, March. Yeah.

Speaker 3 February, March. Exactly.

Speaker 2 We're on a little bit of a skeleton crew. I'm in my new office.
Got the wall of fame behind me, the many

Speaker 2 big time guests we've had on our weekly guest episode of Right About Now. I'm standing.
I do, I'm set up for the, you know, I got my mic in here, got everything.

Speaker 2 I thought this thing shining on the lights would be good.

Speaker 2 Number one in business and marketing, nine countries. We appreciate you wherever you are, whatever language, hopefully getting translated to you.

Speaker 2 But we appreciate it. And, you know, just felt like, hey, it's New Year's.
I needed some bling. So I got it on the shoulder.
This thing's heavy too, man.

Speaker 2 This is not, you know, when they make these, they're not kidding around, you know, we've been taking the business.

Speaker 3 Sounds expensive.

Speaker 2 That's real steel right there. Hey, we're taking the BS out of business for you.

Speaker 2 We've had a lot of great stories this year, some good things kicking off that play into the trends that we've been talking about. And, you know, it wouldn't be

Speaker 2 the cookie crumbling anymore with the administration that's leaving unless we had a good hacking from China before they left, right?

Speaker 3 A nice hack from our biggest adversary. Just come on in.

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 2 we try to, you know, edutainment is what I'd call our show, trying to educate you, opinion, have fun.

Speaker 2 But, I mean, this shit is scary when you think about like, you know, one of our biggest adversaries in the world.

Speaker 2 Obviously, we don't want to be, you know, fight in the middle of the war, but we fight over resources, other things.

Speaker 2 And the fact that they can break in, even if it's unclassified info, and get to the computers of a lot of elected officials or non-elected officials, just government people, it should scare you a little bit, right?

Speaker 3 Yeah, especially when it's our treasury department, you know, it's our money.

Speaker 3 So money does rule the world. It's concerning because it makes you think, all right, if they got in, what else can they get into?

Speaker 2 And exactly.

Speaker 2 That's what it is. That's where the fear comes.
It's like, okay, all right, maybe they did or didn't get the most important things this time but the fact that they can what what happens when they do

Speaker 2 and

Speaker 2 just like

Speaker 2 you know all that all china has to do is go no you know the the us just trying to slander us we didn't do it i mean they came out and said that like yeah we didn't do it like

Speaker 2 you know like okay what are they gonna say

Speaker 2 yep you caught us uh sorry damn we just they got us looking around i was you know on my space and i accidentally hit a button, and it got me into the Treasury Department.

Speaker 2 I was just scrolling around on 1010 or whatever the version of Amazon is over there in China. And President Yi just happened, you know, whatever.
Secretary Yi

Speaker 2 backdoored his way into the treasure. Oh, it happens.
You know, I hit the wrong key, up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, BA, start, and got in. I don't, you know, who knew? So sorry.

Speaker 2 We didn't do it. I mean,

Speaker 2 it's just like denial. And I mean,

Speaker 2 it's hard to know.

Speaker 2 It's even hard to believe our own government sometimes, right? Like, what really got taken or not. The fact that they're acknowledging it shows you that something happened.

Speaker 3 But will we ever. There's some half-truths in there.

Speaker 2 Yeah. You know, how bad was it really?

Speaker 3 They got in, but they didn't get any classified stuff.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, of course. No classified stuff.

Speaker 3 A little

Speaker 3 soft landing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 They got President biden's solitaire history you know that was it right yeah yeah yeah

Speaker 2 they got his metamusal formula for the morning yeah like whatever it is they got his uh his nap schedule for the day i mean that is 62 pages let's be honest

Speaker 2 oh man i sleep at the wheel whatever you want to call it i mean it could happen under any you know

Speaker 2 any presidency so i'm not saying that it's specific to that but it it does sort of follow the general line has been the last few months with like sleep at the wheel, everyone, right? Yeah,

Speaker 2 yeah, so no nuke codes, just really unclassified stuff.

Speaker 2 Yeah, nothing nothing important, nothing to see here.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 but it did say in a major incidence quote,

Speaker 2 but non-classified.

Speaker 2 I don't know, man. It's just, okay.
A digital key was compromised.

Speaker 2 I don't know. I think my son Clayton could probably break into the State Department.

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 I don't know what to believe here, but let's get that shit locked up. Okay.

Speaker 2 President Trump,

Speaker 2 let's button it up a little bit. We could buy the best hackers, right, in the world.
Can't we buy the best? Like, it takes a criminal to know one. Let's just put them on the payroll.

Speaker 2 Maybe they do that. I don't know.
That's what I saw on Born Identity, right?

Speaker 2 That's where I get all my

Speaker 2 government knowledge.

Speaker 3 So they offer the bad guys a deal and convert them over. Yeah.

Speaker 2 What's the biggest, I mean, you know, we talked last time about winners and losers, but. Anything like on your radar, like 2025, like, you know, we've got a few more news articles we'll talk about.

Speaker 2 I'm going to talk about podcasting. We've been talking about that a while.
Radcast Network, some exciting trends in podcasting and video, the things we've been telling you for years.

Speaker 2 Go look at my Instagram feed. I've been telling you this story, but we'll get to that shortly.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 what's 2025 feeling like for Chris Hansen?

Speaker 3 I'll piggyback on what you said. And I know I said this, you know, last week.

Speaker 3 The personal branding, social media, short form content.

Speaker 3 I mean, literally right before we recorded, there's another girl I just started following her she does you know talks about laws of the universe and stuff like that she's educating

Speaker 3 and

Speaker 3 even she said you know

Speaker 3 I started this like six months ago she's like I put up one video on TikTok and got a million views and she's like

Speaker 3 you're never gonna know unless you put yourself out there and I think we all need to

Speaker 3 probably the older generation just kind of get comfortable with the fact that this is where media and entertainment is moving to your smartphone and it's probably going to be on streaming platforms or podcasts or whatnot.

Speaker 3 And we talk about all the time with podcasting, but just as someone newer to it, I think you know, you've been in this what eight years now-um,

Speaker 3 year and a half, two years in.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 3 you know, I don't think everyone should have a podcast, but I think if you have a message that you want to get to the world and you have the time and dedication,

Speaker 3 or if you're a business owner, I don't care if you're building houses or cleaning pools, make content. You know, like

Speaker 3 if you're a pool cleaner, shoot TikTok content, you know. I think we're at such a point where people are craving authenticity and normalcy,

Speaker 3 where 15 years ago, everyone's watching the Kardashians. Now you have people, and I've another perfect example.

Speaker 3 I had lunch with a buddy of mine back home over the holidays, and his wife is a pretty big fitness influencer, her and her sister.

Speaker 3 They built out a platform, they've got their own app, you know, and he's telling me, I'm in like they've got this many subscribers, paying this much a month, where it's like their followers are invested in them and their family.

Speaker 3 You know, his, he's, they're kind of due the family stuff, the kids, the workouts, the nutrition, but he's like, we're making good money on just doing what we would normally do.

Speaker 3 The only difference is my wife is just filming some of it. Right.
So I think

Speaker 3 to tap into that,

Speaker 3 people are looking for other financial opportunities right now, right? Everyone wants diversified income streams. Social media is an easy thing that you can jump into that may or may not work, right?

Speaker 3 But Ryan says it all the time: it pays to be known. I will stand by that, regardless if it's making more connections because you have a presence online, meeting other people in your network,

Speaker 3 working with cool companies.

Speaker 2 Put yourself out there.

Speaker 3 Just fully be yourself, put yourself out there, and the right things will come back to you. That's my advice.

Speaker 2 Yep, for sure. 100%.

Speaker 2 We've preached that a lot. And I think, but it's, it's never been more true with the proliferation of all these channels.
And

Speaker 2 I think.

Speaker 3 Tell them about the radcast now. Yeah, man.
You've seen it in real time.

Speaker 2 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 Like, we're building the, you know, we, we spent eight years building this show, and then the last year, sort of pressure testing like eight to ten shows on the network using the things that we've done to tell stories to build audience growth.

Speaker 2 And eight out of the 10 shows have 10x their downloads, seven out of the ten are top 30 in their category and we're helping brands and people

Speaker 2 grow and monetize their podcast because podcasting is the future of content and podcasting is a kind of a word there's a lot of purists that want it to only be audio and but the reality is it's multi-platform audio video social media and you can do serial content you can do weekly content there's a lot of ways to do it but this genie's not going going back in the bottle like literally we have all the data i'm actually even going to pull up like one of our charts of our research we've been looking at one of our partners sounds profitable give them a shout out um

Speaker 2 that really show like where the industry is going and what we're doing with the network uh with shows that come on but the but here's the biggest thing And this may not seem like a big statement, but more people now tune in and watch podcasts than those that don't.

Speaker 2 This was this just past the threshold. You know, it's always like 30 or 40% of people.
So it was somewhat niche. Now it's fully mainstream.
And we can all agree,

Speaker 2 unless you got your head in the sand, that the presidential election was in large part determined by what happened. And it's crazy.
So this genie's not going back in the bottle.

Speaker 2 More people are doing it. Watchable podcasts are growing in popularity.
One in three people now say they actively watch podcasts with videos. So, again, the two-year change is significant in

Speaker 2 how this landscape is changing from just audio to audio, video, and then the interplay of social media. And it can't be ignored.

Speaker 2 Hopefully, you're watching this on YouTube or Spotify or any of the social media networks, but YouTube is driving over 50%

Speaker 2 of podcast discovery.

Speaker 2 So, you've got nearly double the next source.

Speaker 2 next source is the internet and facebook 27 so what does that mean when people were asked how they find or learn about new podcasts over 50

Speaker 2 said youtube that's crazy isn't it man

Speaker 3 i mean even as you're talking i was thinking back home over the holidays my mom was telling me you know she listens to a podcast every day

Speaker 3 and She shares an office with a woman and she was telling me, oh, well, now she started listening to it every day.

Speaker 3 And when I'm i'm thinking all right she's near 70 years old and that is now her biggest source of entertainment and information yep even my dad he doesn't have cable he uses youtube tv you know you can call it tv right but it's youtube even if you've got the major networks utilizing it it's streaming exactly so

Speaker 3 i mean like you said we've talked about this as long as I've been working with you,

Speaker 3 but I can, if anyone takes a pause and just look at your own life and your group of people you're around and how they're receiving most of their data, it's all through the smartphone.

Speaker 3 Only people I know watching a TV is because they're streaming a movie or sports,

Speaker 2 yeah, sports or sports or or

Speaker 3 movie, or like you know, a Netflix series, yeah. I mean, no one is watching normal cable television, no,

Speaker 3 very few, and even if you are watching what will used to be on it, say The Bachelor, that's on Netflix now, you know yep

Speaker 2 so half of weekly podcast consumers follow a favorite host on social media this is that interplay 62 of people that listen to the show follow that host on instagram

Speaker 2 you know what i'm saying man it all is the interplay of social media and podcasting combined with the power of those channels all working together. And that's what we're doing at the Radcast Network.

Speaker 2 The biggest thing is you you got all these people that are measuring audio, you got people doing measuring video, you got measurement of social media. Well, we're bringing that all together called

Speaker 2 podcast total influence, P T I, baby, podcast total influence. We're branding at, we're literally bringing to bear the multi-platform impact that podcasts have.

Speaker 2 And you can fight the audio game all you want, but the reality is this industry with sponsors with ads needs to to be integrating all of these things in for a multi-platform experience for sponsors and that's what we're doing because again the interplay of these media is what makes it super powerful and you know how i say super powerful i integrate it in right here baby it's called x mark the spot exponent it is the energy drink this that fuels right about now and ryan offered and again it's exactly what i'm saying i'm practicing what i preach but it's true i only work with the brands I love.

Speaker 2 I love these guys. I love the branding.
I love how clean it is. We're talking about fusion energy, adaptogens, nootropics, electrolytes and amino acids, zero sugar, plant-based,

Speaker 2 healthy as it gets, gives you that pep.

Speaker 2 You see it. X marks the spot for energy and clean energy, which is what matters.
Exponent, official energy drink. Ryan Offered and right about now.

Speaker 2 Boom. That's what I'm talking about.
You need to watch that on YouTube. You guys see how cool these new cans are.

Speaker 2 Got some new flavors coming out, Chris. I'm pumped, man.
You know, this takes a lot to get me excited, but damn energy drinks will. Boom.

Speaker 2 I go Hulk Hogan at my belt, do whatever. I'll go Ric Flair, whatever you want.
Woo!

Speaker 3 Good old Ric Flair.

Speaker 2 So, yeah, man, podcasting is where it's at. The Radcast Network, if you're interested, look, shoot me a DM on Instagram, Go to, or better yet, just go to the RadcastNetwork.com.

Excited about it.

Speaker 3 Hey, yeah, man.

Speaker 2 Oh, oh what else we got in the news hey lots of predictions for bitcoin 200 000 that's an iou you might want to hold on to that one that's yeah

Speaker 2 one bitcoin 200k

Speaker 2 that's real dollars

Speaker 2 i mean

Speaker 3 you know when you got my dad started to talk about predictions

Speaker 3 that's a good time right

Speaker 3 that's when you know and i said this six months ago when the mainstream media starts talking about it and all these random people that haven't talked about it in four years,

Speaker 3 it's not going anywhere, right? It's down a little bit. We're at 94,800 today.

Speaker 3 Big deal. Okay.
It was at 68,000 three months ago.

Speaker 3 But yes, there's all kind of wild estimates here, you know, all the way up to 200,000.

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 3 Who knows, right?

Speaker 3 I'm comfortable saying 120,

Speaker 3 but I think with this new administration, and who knows what's going to happen with banking policies and whatnot. So

Speaker 3 it's looking bright. Future's looking bright.

Speaker 2 Yep. It said approval of U.S.
spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 marked a pivotal moment, broadening institutional and retail investor appeal.

Speaker 2 2024 Bitcoin halving event reduced supply, supporting price momentum.

Speaker 2 You know, I'm seeing anything from 120 to 250.

Speaker 2 You know, and I think it's safe to say, isn't it, that the broader market seems to come along.

Speaker 2 If Bitcoin's raising universally, I mean, unless it's just some crap token like what, Hoctua Girl, whatever the fucking scam that was. Like, yeah.
But,

Speaker 2 yeah.

Speaker 3 Like, what do you say? A high tide raises all ships. Exactly.
Yeah. So your

Speaker 3 big movers, Bitcoin, and then, you know, your Dogecoin, stuff like that.

Speaker 3 You know, I think all that is going to rise up with it. And probably things like Doge and more of these quote-unquote meme coins will

Speaker 3 have larger gains, probably, but then they'll probably drop off harder as well.

Speaker 2 Yep. So big things coming from crypto.
It was in our winners, losers, and recommendations for 2025.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 it's really just another investment platform. I mean, you know, it's a legitimate place.
I joke a lot about gambling and all that. It sort of is legalized gambling.
It was so funny.

Speaker 2 I saw somebody joking about, you know, like brokers just are essentially bookies.

Speaker 2 They did the whole analogy. Like, right?

Speaker 3 Stock market bookies.

Speaker 2 We just legitimize it. We put them in suits and called it Wall Street.
And,

Speaker 2 you know,

Speaker 2 but

Speaker 3 dressed it up a bit.

Speaker 2 One step away from off-track betting.

Speaker 3 Same skill set.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 it's so funny. Like, I also,

Speaker 2 you know, saw the news.

Speaker 2 Lots of CEOs turning over this year. CEO departures

Speaker 2 says nearly 2,000 CEOs have stepped down from their roles between January and November.

Speaker 2 It feels like

Speaker 3 tough year in business. Tough year in business.

Speaker 2 And I almost feel like we're also like this short-termism, man. Everything.
Like, it's easy come, easy go.

Speaker 2 Convenience rises.

Speaker 2 It seems like it's all related to me a little bit. And look, we all love our conveniences.
We all love this stuff. But I think that, how does that relate to business?

Speaker 2 Just think people, they're impatient and they think they want change.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 sometimes you got to stay the hard road. And then sometimes just, you know, it's time for change.

Speaker 2 I mean, I'm not, every situation is unique i just think it feels like a sign of the times right the all right out of the end out with the old in with the new and old now defined is you know 18 months

Speaker 3 and we see it with your own workforce yeah like with our own businesses right the employee turnover is it's not someone giving you 20 years of their life you know no

Speaker 3 like they used to in the old days, right? Now, I mean,

Speaker 3 I think most people I know

Speaker 3 they're at a job maybe two to five years and move to the next one.

Speaker 2 Yeah, at most.

Speaker 3 I mean, I had a conversation with a buddy yesterday: hey, I want to completely switch industries from real estate to software because he's bored.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And hey, eat your own, it's fine. Yeah.
It's just

Speaker 2 I'm getting more and more to this like lean approach of like, okay,

Speaker 2 I, my recommendation is, and I mean, look, once you're Coca-Cola size,

Speaker 2 different game, you know, like, but let's just say

Speaker 2 micro teams, like five to 10 people

Speaker 2 that are all highly skilled, highly smart, and all pulling the same direction and building, you know, like

Speaker 2 high equity stakes so that everybody's kind of rowing it.

Speaker 2 And then build, you know, build your administrative, you know, overseas VAs, whatever around that, but you have like a central nucleus of a centralized skill set all pulling one direction with, well, I mean, not centralized like company, but then like five or six people that all have unique skill sets, but then building the ancillary around it, but not necessarily a company where you have 50 employees on the book.

Speaker 2 I think that's the way it is. It's lean and mean, baby.
Nimble.

Speaker 2 Nimble, nimble. Got to move quick.
Got to, you know, like be able to.

Speaker 2 I just think,

Speaker 2 and again, I'm kind of painting with a broad brush that I don't mean to, but like, I just think being able to move nimble,

Speaker 2 consistent revenue the exact same way

Speaker 2 is not consistent anymore. Like, I think you've got to be nimble month to month or quarter to quarter when you're a small business and entity.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 there's a lot of different ways that you can sort of pivot and evolve throughout a year's time across, you know, a subset of disciplines. And that's sort of what we're doing with like Radical Inc.

Speaker 2 We've got the Radcast Network, which is obviously, I think, the mainstay and been building that for seven years.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 I think the ancillary things around it with ways with which to monetize when you have a group of skill sets in business services is becoming unique.

Speaker 2 It's a little volatile, but if if you're nimble, you can take advantage of it. That's my thoughts on that.

Speaker 2 But lots of CEOs stepping down, except for this one:

Speaker 2 CEO of life

Speaker 3 was standing right here.

Speaker 2 I know, and hey, speaking of that, getting your life right, you got to get your health right. That's what Chris and I do on Vibe Science.
Go check that out. Vibe Science Podcast.

Speaker 2 Got some big hitters coming up on that show as well. We're taking you to your highest vibe.
Look, all this circles around.

Speaker 2 Like, you can be talking about business, about all this stuff, and podcast, personal brand.

Speaker 2 All that means nothing if your health is shit.

Speaker 2 Because think about it, Chris. Like,

Speaker 2 if

Speaker 2 the moment we do all this stuff, I could hit the lottery. We could have a big sales.
We could, you know, sell one of our brands for nine figures.

Speaker 2 But does it mean anything if you're in bed with the flu?

Speaker 2 Like in that moment? Or I mean, even worse, like, you know, something more.

Speaker 2 So, you got to take care of your health and wellness. Mind, body, energy.
We bring on the best guests. We're empowering you.
