The right six words can do more for your brand than 60,000 forgettable words. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Kevin Harrington and Seth Greene interview Bill Schley, CEO and Founder of The Brand Titans USP Master Programs, who explains how microscripts help businesses communicate their unique value in a sentence or fewer. Drawing on lessons from the legendary advertising agency Ted Bates, Bill shares the five rules for an effective unique selling proposition and how to turn that positioning into a memorable problem-solution story. He also reveals why the most powerful brand messages are concise, believable, repeatable, and clearly differentiated from the competition. Key Takeaways:→ An effective brand must clearly communicate what the business does that no one else can. → Branding has little value if it fails to meaningfully differentiate a company from its competitors. → The differentiating benefit must be important to the customer and relevant to a real need. → Microscripts are short, memorable phrases that are easy to understand, remember, and repeat.→ A strong brand story should clearly present a problem, introduce the solution, and explain how the world changes as a result. Bill Schley is an award-winning branding expert, New York Times bestselling author, and lifelong entrepreneur. He is the originator of the Micro-Script concept in brand communications and is credited by celebrated marketers as the #1 USP expert in the world. His USP-centered brands have generated over $1.5 billion in documented new-business valuation and brand equity across companies ranging from global giants to acquired startups. Bill began his career as a writer at the legendary Ted Bates Advertising Agency, the original Mad Men agency in New York, where he won a National Effie Award for sales-effective advertising. His highly acclaimed books on branding and marketing are taught by experts worldwide. In addition to his latest book, The Micro-Script Rules: How to Tell Your Story and Differentiate Your Brand in a Sentence or Less, he is the author of The UnStoppables, a New York Times bestseller; Why Johnny Can't Brand, which won Strategy+Business Magazine's Top 5 Marketing Books of the Year award; and The Power of 10, an Amazon bestseller.

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick looks back at one of the funniest recurring sketches in Saturday Night Live history, featuring two of the show’s most hilariously obnoxious characters. Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig star as the “Two A-Holes,” a self-absorbed couple who spend their time talking on their phones, chewing gum, ignoring everyone around them, and driving everyone they meet completely crazy. You’ll hear every appearance the Two A-Holes made on SNL, alongside hosts including Jack Black, Matt Dillon, Annette Bening, Steve Carell, and the cast of Mad Men. Nick also shares behind-the-scenes stories and revisits some of their funniest moments, from shopping for a Christmas tree and joining a health club to adopting a baby and butchering karaoke. They’re unbelievably annoying…and absolutely hilarious. [Ep 188]

Spirit of God E4 — So far in this series, we've looked at how the Spirit is connected to life and wisdom in the Hebrew Bible. The third most consistent idea associated with the Spirit is God's word, or speech, happening through a human; the Bible calls this prophecy. While most ancient prophecy involved deities taking over a person's mind, we see a different experience among many of Israel's prophets. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore this spectrum and focus on prophets like Ezekiel and Micah who experienced a true partnership with the Spirit as they spoke for God. CHAPTERS Recap and the Breath and Word of God in Creation (0:00-10:33) Ancient Prophets as Madmen and Maniacs (10:33-24:47) The True Prophet Template in Ezekiel (24:47-38:29) More of the Gold Standard in Micah (38:29-4:16) OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT View this episode's official transcript.

In this warm and heartfelt episode of Mystic Radio, Robin Alexis and Mary Stephenson welcome David Isaacs to honor the life of his dear friend Bob Bordonaro. David shares how his friendship with Bob changed the course of his life. At a pivotal moment, it was Bob who helped him stay in Hollywood, stay the course, and continue toward the career and life that were waiting for him — including meeting the woman who would become his wife. The conversation is a beautiful reflection on friendship, loyalty, timing, and the quiet ways one person can shape the entire direction of another person's life. David also reflects on his extraordinary career as a television writer and storyteller, including his work on shows such as M*A*S*H, Cheers, Frasier, The Simpsons, and Mad Men. But at the heart of the episode is something much simpler and more timeless: the love between two friends, and the lasting impact of a bond that helped make so much possible. This episode is a tribute to Bob, to friendship, and to the people who believe in us at exactly the moment we need it most.

Send us a message.We start with a chance encounter. A stop to photograph an old Dodge pickup and a chain-net basketball hoop turns into an afternoon inside a stranger's garage, looking at restored Mavericks and pulling vintage car t-shirts out of a rag drawer. From there we get into what a camera actually does when you carry one everywhere: it gives you a reason to stop, talk to people, and end up somewhere you never planned to be. We talk about portraiture, about the woman who cried handing over a Nirvana shirt she'd kept for twenty years, and why one photograph from a whole day spent with someone beats a hundred quick frames.The second half turns on a prompt about quitting, and we land in different places on it. One of us reads walking away as evolution; the other keeps circling a line from Mad Men about only liking the beginning of things. That pulls us into screenwriting: the years of writing five pages a day in an LA apartment, imposter syndrome in studio meetings, a script that went out wide and didn't sell, and the decision to leave. We get into the difference between working and waiting, killing the small "bad problems" so there's room for the good ones, and whether you make art out of ego or out of a plainer need to communicate. -AiSupport the show If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

John Searles joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about his new novel, SINGLE GIRLS, a work of dramatic fiction set in the 1960s. It focuses on Helen Gurley Brown and the team of women she assembled who transformed Cosmopolitan into one of the best-selling magazines of all time. A Bookreporter Bets On selection, the book has been compared to "Mad Men" and "Sex and the City." John worked at Cosmopolitan and shares his encounters with Helen through the years. The novel is deeply informed by real events, Helen's memoirs, published biographies, and his personal knowledge of the editors who worked there. John had always wanted to write about Helen and had told her so during their friendship, but he had been constrained by publishing expectations to stay within his established genre: suspense/thrillers. The audiobook is narrated by his friend, Amy Ryan, who starred in the film adaptation of his earlier novel, STRANGE BUT TRUE. Carol worked at Mademoiselle, and during their conversation, she shares her background there and how she navigated her early career before leaving Condé Nast and starting The Book Report Network almost 30 years ago.

Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver celebrate four remarkable years of podcasting with a nostalgic trip down memory lane. In this episode of Kliq This, the duo trades the squared circle for the sandlot, swapping stories about growing up in a completely different era. From the perilous nature of a grandparent's glass candy dish to the harsh reality of wearing a winter parka over a plastic Halloween mask, Kevin paints a vivid picture of his youth in Detroit. Listeners will be transported back to a time of metal lunchboxes, neighborhood bicycle chases, and the intense patience required to completely dominate a game of electric football. The conversation eventually shifts from childhood memories to current events and classic wrestling tales. Kevin offers his completely unfiltered thoughts on the NBA offseason, including where LeBron James might end up and the shocking roster moves in Boston. Pro wrestling fans will definitely not be disappointed, as Kevin shares his genuine reaction to Sami Zayn's recent world championship victory and reflects on CM Punk's personal evolution since returning to WWE. The guys also take a hilarious detour into the bizarre world of celebrity music ventures, dissecting Vince McMahon's infamous musical performance and the origins of Kevin's own iconic entrance themes. As always, the Kliq This community gets involved with the highly anticipated Ask Nash segment, bringing out some fantastic behind the scenes stories. Kevin opens up about his late son Tristen's musical journey and shares some surprisingly heartwarming memories of the notoriously intense Paul Orndorff. Throw in a fierce debate over the legacy of the iPod Classic, a mid-show wardrobe malfunction involving an egg salad sandwich, and another ridiculous round of Florida Man headlines.

My guest today is scenic artist, filmmaker, and writer Michael Lee Nirenberg, who wrote the book Cinematic Immunity, an oral history told from the perspective of New York film crews, from the 50s to the 2000s. When I came across this book I knew I had to get it right away, it's exciting to learn film history from a completely different perspective! We spoke about how Michael got into the film crew business, the wild days of New York filmmaking, what crews had to say about the likes of Sidney Lumet and William Friedkin, and a whole lot more!Show Notes:CinematicImmunity: An Oral History of New York Filmmaking As Told by the Crews That Got the Shot / Michael Lee NirenbergMicheal Lee Nirenberg's instagramMichael Lee Nirenberg's IMDBFrankenhooker (1990)Back Issues: The Hustler Mag Story (2014)Richard KoszarskiOn the Waterfront (1954)Boris KaufmanThe Out of Towners (1970)The Incident (1967)The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)Michael Lee Nirenberg's book Earth A.D.The Godfather (1972)The Exorcist (1973)Do the Right Thing (1989)Max's Kansas CityAfter Hours (1985)Midnight Cowboy (1969)Amos PoeSidney LumetWilliam FriedkinNetwork (1976)Dog Day Afternoon (1975)12 Angry Men (1957)Spike LeeRandy JurgensenThree Days of the Condor (1975)The French Connection (1971)Maniac Cop (1988)Law & OrderTrading Places (1983)John Landis Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)Twilight Zone AccidentPaul ReubensMalcolm X (1992)All That Jazz (1979)Bob Fosse Mariska HargitayIce-TMy Mom Jayne (2025)I Love Boosters (2026)Backrooms (2026)The Sopranos (1999-2007)We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)The Wrestler (2008)The Knick (2014-2015)Boardwalk Empire (2010-2014)Girls (2012-2017)Please Give (2010)The Seven-Ups (1973)Mad Men (2007-2015)Too Much (2025)Taxi Driver (1976)Death Wish 3 (1985)John WatersDesperate Living (1977)Vincent PeranioFollow Somebody's Watching here:Instagram: @somebodyswatchingpodEmail: somebodywatchingpod@gmail.com

Eight months ago, Jason DeSouza got a second cell phone — one for work, one for family — and left the work phone in his car every night. That one decision changed how he leads his firm, shows up for his kids, and protects his joy in the practice of law. If you have been telling yourself you will set better boundaries when things slow down, this episode is your wake-up call.In Episode 432, Gary sits down with personal injury attorney Jason DeSouza, founder of DeSouza Injury Lawyers in San Antonio, Texas. Jason built his firm from scratch in 2015 after immigrating from Canada with no local network and no playbook. Today he leads a 30-person team focused on oilfield and serious injury cases in underserved South Texas communities — and nearly every new case comes from a former client referral. This is a conversation about law firm culture, intentional growth, and what it looks like to practice law on your own terms.Key Takeaways:Protect your personal life with a hard structural boundary — Jason's two-phone system costs nothing and works immediatelyDefine your version of success before your firm defines it for you — meaning and metrics are not the same thingStay small on purpose — a lean team means faster decisions, stronger culture, and deeper client relationshipsDelegate like Roger from Mad Men — stepping back from email and daily operations was Jason's single best leadership moveBuild third spaces outside the law — faith, family rituals, and non-lawyer friendships fill the gap that firm growth never willChoose your niche and own it — serving clients others overlook creates loyalty, clarity, and a referral engine that runs itselfJason DeSouza is the founder of DeSouza Injury Lawyers in San Antonio, Texas.

He built his practice from the ground up in 2015 after immigrating from Canada, driven by a conviction that injured workers in small South Texas towns deserve fierce, personal advocacy. Today his firm operates almost entirely on client referrals — a direct result of a culture built on trust and results. Jason is a husband, father of two, and a man of deep faith who brings the same intentionality to his family that he brings to the courtroom.You can find The Free Lawyer Assessment here- https://www.garymiles.net/the-free-lawyer-assessmentWould you like to learn what it looks like to become a truly Free Lawyer?

On this week’s Mad Men Men, we dig into “Christmas Waltz.” That's right, it's a holiday episode about money trouble, emotional drift, and people looking for comfort in all the wrong places. But also, it’s one of Season 5’s strangest and saddest turning points. Because let's just say it gives several characters a version of the Christmas spirit they absolutely did not ask for. If you’re new here, Mad Men Men covers Mad Men from three angles. First, we have a first-time watcher (Will Ashton). Then, we have a first-time rewatcher (Mike Overhulse). Finally, we have the over-rewatcher (me, Jon Negroni). EXTRA CREDITS Matthew Weiner created Mad Men, which aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015. The show stars Jon Hamm, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Robert Morse, and many more. Our intro music is “Mad Men Men” by Tom Davidson, which is an original remix of the show’s opening theme “A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2. Podcast illustration is by Jon Negroni. Our podcast hosts include Jon Negroni (Podcast Editor of InBetweenDrafts), Will Ashton (cohost of the Thank God For Movies podcast), and Michael Overhulse (a guy who’s addicted to working at startups). We’ll be back soon to discuss Season 5 Episode 11, titled “The Other Woman.” Subscribe to Mad Men Men on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever else podcasts are, ahem, advertised.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

G.K. Chesterton wrote in 1926 that "the heart of Christendom is a heart" and in this episode, Joe and Grettelyn discover that this single line unlocks his entire approach to apologetics. Recording just before the U.S. bishops' historic consecration of America to the Sacred Heart on the nation's 250th anniversary, they trace the providential thread connecting two Pope Leos, a 1926 essay from GK's Weekly, and Chesterton's lifelong practice of winning opponents through friendship and wonder. In This Episode: How a 1926 essay in GK's Weekly reveals the theological principle behind G.K. Chesterton's entire method of winning hearts and minds What Chesterton's contrast of Saint Michael and Saint Gabriel teaches about "the softening of strength by chivalry and charity"—and what it means for how the Church evangelizes today Why G.K. Chesterton's observation that "madmen are logical" explains his insistence on appealing to beauty, wonder, and friendship rather than syllogisms How G.K. Chesterton's famous friendships with his opponents—and the characters of The Ball on the Cross—embody the theology of the Sacred Heart before he ever named it What Pope Leo XIII's 1899 encyclical Annum Sacrum reveals about the providential timing of the USCCB's consecration and the arrival of a new Pope Leo Chapters: 00:00: Introduction—The Sacred Heart and America at 250 02:29: The Providential Coincidence of Two Pope Leos 04:00: Background on the Sacred Heart Devotion 11:50: Why Consecrate a Nation? 13:57: Pope Leo XIII's Encyclical—What He Foretold About America 19:55: Reparations and the Burning Desire of Christ 23:22: What G.K.

Long before Pazuzu terrorized audiences in *The Exorcist*, this ancient Mesopotamian demon struck fear into the hearts of the Assyrians and Babylonians—both as a harbinger of destruction and an unlikely protector against even greater evils.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/pazuzuFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The Exorcist is widely regarded as one of the most influential horror movies of all time. Even now, half a century after its release, it continues to terrify audiences, in large part due to its horrifying practical effects and iconic antagonist: Pazuzu. (Pazuzu, The Demon ‘The Exorcist' Made Famous) *** Latoya Ammons and her family claim to have experienced demonic possession that began when they moved into what became known as the “house of 200 demons” in 2011. (The Haunting on Carolina Street) *** In the eerie depths of 1920s Los Angeles, a sinister tale unfolded, shrouded in secrets and steeped in darkness. It all began with May Otis Blackburn and her daughter, Ruth, who claimed to receive divine revelations from the angels Gabriel and Michael. Thus emerged the enigmatic Blackburn Cult, a group entangled in a web of prophecies, tributes, and whispered mysteries. (The Blackburn Cult) *** 19th-century freak shows brought both the extraordinary and the macabre to captivated audiences far and wide. Among the peculiar spectacles of these exhibitions stood a man whose skeletal frame defied all norms of human anatomy… as his skeleton and skin appeared to be the only parts of his anatomy intact. (Seurat, The Living Skeleton) *** In the heat of summer in 2008, a mysterious creature washed ashore on a beach in Montauk, Long Island, sending shockwaves through the community. What began as a simple sighting by local resident soon exploded into a media frenzy, with wild theories and speculation running rampant. (Hot Montauk Summer) *** While epic Hollywood films often depict gladiators as men, the truth is far more captivating. We'll step into the arena with the women who dared to defy convention and enter the gladiatorial games.
