Is Dylan Richardson going on the next Lions tour? Should the Western Cape never host another Junior World Cup? Who is the best of the new coaches on the block? Can the Northern Hemisphere claim back some face this weekend? Will Ireland have any players left? And will Phil get washed away in Newlands? All these questions and more are answered as Ant and Phil tackle a busy rugby weekend.

Episode 269 - France spoils the Southern Hemisphere Rugby Party!

Elite Rugby Banter (the podcast, not the musical) is back with a full complement of 3 (the same number of minutes Willie managed before getting concussed, again). Ireland have won back the Raeburn Shield as well as the rights to Zombie as the emerald greens got in Rassie's head. Jannie de Beer's illegitimate red-haired lovechild quelled a boisterous shark tank, much to Ant's dismay in the stands. The game is dissected along with the other notable series decider between the All Blacks and England.

An hommage to the queen that is Tiffany New York Pollard. She elevated my mood so many times, so here is an attempt to give back what was given. Hope she hears it :) I love you sis! Hope y'all like this track.

Name DROPPED! (Migor + HBIC, Tiffany New York Pollard)

Originally loaded October 18th, reloaded July 3rd.
Wednesday June 12, 2024, MBN's Jeffrey Mosher hit the road and caught the VIP Q & A Workshop session following a Leadership Talk. This is audio number 2 of 3 from that day.

In this video you catch a can’t miss event where the gathering in REO Town heard from Matthew Pollard, the Rapid Growth Guy. Mr. Pollard was kind enough to stick around and answer several questions for the set hosted by Reuben Levinsohn of Washington Avenue Advisors in this nearly 50 minute session. 

Overall points covered, included:

The Importance of Business Valuation and Systemization

Creating a Business that is Sellable and Achieving Goals

Storytelling and Marketing

Effective Communication and Sales

Personal Storytelling and Introversion

Case Studies and Long-term Planning

It preceded a Business Valuation Workshop including Michael Maddox, host of MBN’s ‘Getting A Grip’ from the Cadillac Room Wednesday, June 12th.

In the Business Valuation Workshop, for the next video attendees discover the 8 keys to unlocking growth, building a great organization, and achieving clarity in your company's vision. Led by industry experts Reuben Levinsohn and Nicholas Pope of Washington Avenue Advisors, and joined by Professional EOS Implementer Mike Maddox, this series equips entrepreneurs with the tools to maximize their business's value and prepare for a successful exit. Upcoming videos will share from that part of the day.

These take place directly after Leadership Talks (like June's with Matthew Pollard).

Reuben Levinsohn and Mike Maddox were hosting workshops focused on helping you grow your business VALUATION, something very few entrepreneurs focus on with intention in their annual and quarterly growth strategies. We’ll also be providing attendees with an opportunity to assess their personal + business ‘Exit Readiness’ and build an action plan from it.     The events on June 12 and October 17 are in person – with amazing speakers!   Breakfast and lunch are provided at these also.

MBN on the Road | Matthew Pollard VIP Q&A after Leadership Talk June 12th '24 in REO Town, Lansing

Well, nobody saw that coming. The Springboks spontaneously combusted as the Wallabies ran in wonder try after wonder try at Ellis Park to take a famous victory. But, the pod believes a victory next week is still the most likely outcome as some mitigating factors emerge. Perhaps some hard but necessary lessons learned in this shock defeat?

Episode 296: McReight with a Side of Tries

Rain and the ref seem to be common excuses going around the South African water coolers this week, but in all honesty the Boks had only themselves to blame for gifting Ardie Savea a victory in his 100th Test. While the Springbok men failed to create history, the women will write a new chapter as they appear in their first ever RWC quarter final against New Zealand this week, lining up a tasty Kiwi doubleheader for Bok fans. Andy is optimistic this week about Rassie's brow-raising, youthful selections for the second Test, while Phil and Ant are more pragmatic. Perhaps even more gruelling than dissecting a Springbok loss is having to say nice things about the Wallabies for the third episode in a row. Yuck.

Teams other than the Springboks: Sharks, Giltinis (RIP), Nambia
Favourite rugby moment: any Frans Steyn 50m kick, or Louis Carbonel pointing and laughing at the english before slotting a conversion, or RG fighting the whole Aussie team

Phil:
Rugby claim to fame: Smashed through a whole a Kingswood team to score a magical try (twice)
Teams other than the Lions: Springboks, England, Cheetahs
