Matt Clements dropped out of law 1 year from finishing, made 6 figures on a Telstra autodialer, interviewed for a job in his undies, and had the Kismet logo tattooed on him before he worked here. His path was anything but straight. Here is his story:

CEO Terry Lynch joins Gerardo Del Real at Resource Stock Digest on the Lion resource, Nisk, and the copper-nickel potential across the property. Full conversation: youtu.be/Jj1peSCGQrg

Back in the summer I told Lindsay we were running two tracks. Prove up Lion, and keep looking for more. The resource came out on 8 September. The first deep holes came back this week. Worth a listen. youtu.be/FxN8s8xFC2o

The best senders get a reply every 38 contacts. You are probably closer to 135. That gap comes out of 850 million emails sent on @smartlead_ai in the first half of 2026, which is a large enough sample that the spread inside it is not noise. The top ten percent of senders need 38 contacts for one reply, the average sender needs 135, and the bottom of the distribution runs past 625. Sit with what sixteen times means across an ordinary week. Two teams push the same volume into lists of roughly the same quality, with the same headcount and the same hours, and one of them finishes the week with sixteen times the conversations to work. The reason a number like that lands harder than another thread of best practice is that hardly anyone knows their own band. You know your reply rate well enough to quote it, and you have no reference point for whether it is any good, so you cannot tell whether the next hire, the next list or the next rewrite is the thing actually worth paying for. Work yours out before you read anything else about outbound this month. Take the contacts you touched last month, divide by the replies that came back, and the number you get puts you somewhere on that curve. Landing near the average makes you ordinary, which is a far more useful place to stand than confused. The full report covers send timing, message length and bounce thresholds at the same scale, and it costs nothing. Comment BENCHMARK and I will send it over. Which of those three numbers surprised you most?

Poor lead management is an expensive mistake. What it costs you is replies from people who are close to buying, and nothing anywhere turns red when one goes missing. Somebody forwards your email to whoever actually holds the budget and that person answers from their own address, or a prospect decides they want to talk, starts a fresh message, types your address in by hand and hits send. The intent is real either way, and because neither one threads back to the campaign that earned it, your reporting behaves as though it never arrived. @smartlead_ai has a view built for precisely this inside the Master Inbox, called Untracked Replies, where anything that came back without a matching thread collects in one place rather than scattering across mailboxes nobody has a reason to open. Recovering the money is the next part. You pick the conversation and associate the lead with the appropriate campaign, either choosing it yourself or taking one off the recommended list, and once it is attached you can reply and follow up from that same inbox with the lead sitting inside the campaign it should have belonged to from the first email you ever sent them. The rest is housekeeping, which counts for more than it sounds when mail is arriving from addresses you have never seen. You can mark leads as unread, delete replies individually or in bulk, and block a sending address or a whole domain when something is clearly going nowhere. A settings panel holds the blocked addresses, domains, subject lines and keywords, and it can be scoped to a single client rather than applied across everything, which is what makes this usable if you run outbound on behalf of other people. Set it up today, then look at how far back your own untracked replies go.

Trying to force more output from the same five inboxes is not efficiency. It is fragility. Build more clean capacity, warm it properly, and let distribution do the work. x.com/thefernandocz/…

You're not sending enough emails. Here's how to fix that. Most teams unhappy with their outbound numbers are hitting a capacity ceiling long before anything else has gone wrong, because a handful of inboxes each sending a sensibly conservative amount will never add up to the

A hard workout may help your body handle stress better. One study found that vigorous exercise led to a smaller cortisol response when people faced a stressful task 45 minutes later. So could exercising before a stressful event actually help?

Texas home insurance premiums rose 30% in five years. Incomes rose 3%. That comes from an analysis by Rice University's Kinder Institute for Urban Research, working with Texas 2036, published on August 10. The average Texas homeowner now pays $2,983 a year. Go back further and the spread widens. Since 2009, premiums are up 74%. Median household income is up 11%. Here is the number that should stop every housing conversation in this state. Roughly 7 million Texas households, close to two thirds of the state, cannot afford the median priced home in their own county once insurance is counted as part of the cost of owning it. Texas has spent a decade telling the country it is the best place in America to build a life. The growth data still supports that. Population, jobs, business formation, all of it real. Insurance is now the line item that decides whether the promise holds. An uninsured owner who loses a roof does not file a claim. They absorb it, or they leave it. Deferred repairs become larger repairs. Larger repairs become the thing nobody can pay for, and eventually somebody else inherits. I represent owners after the loss. The pattern I see most often started years earlier, with a policy someone could not afford to keep or never had reason to read. Read yours before you need it to do anything.

Rex Validakis-Betar was the first in his family to finish high school, got rejected by Oxford twice, threw a farewell party for 250 people, and met the love of his life the next day. His path was anything but straight. Here is his story:

The average school building in Irving is fifty years old. In November, voters there decide whether to replace five of them. Irving ISD has called a $952 million bond election for November 3. The largest proposition, $852 million, would rebuild Lively, Thomas Haley and Davis Elementaries, Travis Middle School and Irving High School. Arlington ISD has a $966 million package on the same ballot. The national picture behind those numbers is worse than most voters know. The American Society of Civil Engineers grades eighteen categories of American infrastructure. Schools came in at D+. Only stormwater and transit scored lower. Measuring current temperatures against the original design baseline, ASCE estimates roughly 13,700 additional schools now need air conditioning, and puts that bill on its own at more than $40 billion. Those buildings were built for a climate that has since moved. A Government Accountability Office survey found 41% of school districts needed to update heating and cooling systems. Thirty eight percent of American school buildings went up before 1970. Here is the part that decides how this plays out. About a tenth of what districts spend goes to facilities at all. Most capital money goes to new construction, because new construction is what a bond campaign can put in front of a voter. So the new building goes up, and the older building down the road waits another cycle. I represent districts after something fails. Mechanical systems are usually where it starts, and the failure is rarely a surprise to the people who work in that building. Ask for the facility condition assessment before you ask for the bond.
