Podcasts about Abts

Am Anfang des 15. Jahrhunderts standen die Zeichen zwischen dem Land Appenzell und dem Abt von St. Gallen auf Eskalation. Die Appenzeller wollten sich das Steuerregime des Abts nicht gefallen lassen, und dieser wiederum verbündete sich mit den Habsburgern. Die Folge: die Schlacht am Stoss.

In this episode, ABT Coaches Matthew David, Liz Strauss, and Dr. Anahita Viera demonstrate what a typical "ABT dissection" looks like by taking apart one of Liz's ABTs from 2020 (when she was still new to the ABT).  Read more about why we're doing this in the blog post here. If you'd like to submit an ABT for our consideration to dissect in a future episode, email it to randyolsonproductions@gmail.com. We just need two things: 1) Your one-sentence ABT (it must have the 3 words: And, But, and Therefore). 2) Let us know if you want to appear on the podcast so we can coach you live, or if you prefer we rework your ABT without you. We'll have fun dissecting the ABT either way!   Here's the original ABT:   Despite their age, senior dogs require care, comfort, and stimulation to help ensure their continued health; but, when boarding away from their families, the experience can often be isolating and stressful. In response, WH provides private rooms with bedding, activities, and around-the-clock care to ensure that even senior dogs are happy and healthy throughout their stays. Tools demonstrated in this episode: Wenowdis cABT IF/THEN General to Specific And the current "work-in-progress" ABT: We know that a tailored boarding experience is essential for senior dogs to help ensure their continued health AND IF this experience is provided THEN they will receive the needed care, comfort, and stimulation to thrive BUT tailored experiences aren't happening BECAUSE some companies lack the means to provide for the special needs of senior dogs THEREFORE our company meets these needs BY providing a specialized care program with private rooms with bedding, activities, and around-the-clock care to ensure that even senior dogs are happy and healthy throughout their stays.

In this raw and uncompromising conversation, Dr. Linda Bluestein and co-host Jennifer Milner sit down with Skylar Brandt, principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre, for a gripping look at what it truly takes to perform at the highest level. Skylar pulls back the curtain on the physical and psychological demands of elite ballet—the toll it takes, the constant adaptations required to avoid breakdown, and the pressure of sustaining a career where your body, your art, and your livelihood are inseparably intertwined. She speaks candidly about navigating the challenges of less-flexible feet in an industry that glorifies extreme range, and why the dance world must rethink the “more is better” mentality. But one of Skylar's most powerful messages is the importance of listening to your body—learning when to push, when to modify, and when to stop—wisdom that applies not only to dancers, but to anyone striving for longevity in a demanding field. This episode dives into the high-stakes intersection of artistry, athleticism, body awareness, and survival, offering a rare and riveting look behind the curtain of one of the world's most unforgiving professions. Takeaways: Skylar reveals how elite performers balance on the edge of injury, often compensating in ways that hide the real damage. Despite growing awareness, the aesthetic of fragility still reigns and muscular dancers are often questioned, even sidelined. Jennifer and Dr. Bluestein challenge the outdated idea that power ruins grace and Skylar proves it's possible to embody both. Skylar shares how her body learned to work around instability and what happened when those patterns stopped serving her. From pelvic stability to core engagement, Skylar's journey shows how science-backed support can extend performance careers. Find the episode transcript here. Want more Skylar Brandt?

Send us a textImagine boosting engagement by 400% without changing your product, only your story. That's the promise Park Howell delivers as we dive into why audiences don't care about what you make—they care about what you make happen in their lives. Park, an Emmy-winning business storytelling coach and author of Brand Bewitchery and The Narrative Gym for Business, breaks down the ABT framework—And, But, Therefore—and shows how it turns intuitive storytellers into intentional communicators who move people to act.We explore the most significant mistake even seasoned marketers make: telling stories from the brand's point of view. Park reframes the job with crisp language and practical examples, revealing how ABT aligns perfectly with the brain's preference for agreement, contradiction, and consequences. You'll hear why outcomes beat offerings, how to embed emotion with “because,” and how ABT builds trust through understanding, appreciation, and empathy. Then we scale from message to strategy with Park's 10-step Story Cycle System, adapted from the Hero's Journey and shaped for modern brands.For leaders navigating Web3 and AI, clarity is the new competitive edge. We talk through audience triggers for traditional CEOs and CMOs—fear of complexity, demand for ROI, desire to be future-ready—and show how to turn vague tech buzz into practical, measurable growth. Park also introduces Story Cycle Genie, an AI-powered platform that audits your current story, identifies gaps, and drafts ABTs, positioning, and value propositions in hours instead of months, keeping your content on brand and on brain.If you want story frameworks that work in pitches, decks, emails, and everyday conversations, this conversation gives you the tools and the language. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs sharper messaging, and leave a quick review to help more marketers discover the power of ABT.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on October 28, 2025.

Have you ever stopped to think about if you live your life out on the edge? It sounds cliche, but how close to "average" is your life? If you've wondered these things, this week's episode aims to dive into this exact topic.From a young age, your podcast hosts have been pushed to excel in all areas of life. From academic studies to extra-curricular pursuits - all the way to careers in adulthood. And looking back, neither of us could say that this was the average experience in the US. Where does that legacy of seeking excellence leave us in our adulthood? Jesse believes that there is almost a thrill-chasing habit from chasing excellence that is ultimately hollow. Angela rightfully points out that many of these end pursuits are externally driven and may not reflect what we truly want. At the end of the day, what do you listeners think? Do you feel like you live a life outside the norm?

Do you believe in telepathy or ESP-like phenomena? This week we discuss "The Telepathy Tapes," a podcast that explores if non-verbal autistic individuals have the ability to read minds. The ability to look into another's mind is considered a fantastical power, but what would it take to convince you that it is real in certain individuals? In-house "woo woo" Angela and "skeptic" Jesse debate the ways that the podcast presents this concept. Many of these non-verbal individuals engage in something called "spelling", where they point at letters or otherwise type out words that someone in the room is thinking. While this ability appears to be compelling, the skeptics may be prone to believe there is some creative storytelling to this series rather than concrete explanations. Regardless of your belief in telepathy, we encourage you to explore the podcast series yourself, if for nothing else, a bit of entertainment as it's quite interesting. Do you believe that telepathy may be possible? Let us know in the poll or comments!-------*Podcasters' Note: Angela mistakenly refers to "spelling" as "typing" in the actual episode.

Did you hear about the SUV-sized drones, plasmoids, orbs, and other strange objects in the sky over New Jersey/the East Coast the past few months, or is this the first time you're hearing about it?We discuss this strange phenomena that started around the holidays in 2024 and continued for several months, where folks were claiming these large drones and other unidentified aerial objects were following them or seemingly "mapping" their neighborhoods. Despite the sheer volume of sightings and videos uploaded, there was little to no mainstream media coverage and a brushing off by both presidential administrations as either something they simply couldn't explain, or "were ours" and therefore nothing to worry about. What's more, though the majority of video footage was uploaded to TikTok directly by those on the ground, the algorithm was seemingly suppressing views and distribution of drone-related footage, to the point where everyone's favorite Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel became one of the leading voices on these drone sightings and led the charge in calling them "Dior bags" in order to evade the algorithmic suppression. This all leaves us wondering...what the heck is going on?! At best these things really were all "ours" and the government was conducting some strange experiment on the American people. Or worse (and human), it was foreign adversaries spying on or otherwise displaying a show of force. Or worst (and not human - for those of us who are inclined to believe), it was aliens. Of note, at the same time these SUV-sized drones were happening, there were whistleblower stories coming out from former Special Forces personnel and those who worked in the UAP ("unidentified anomalous phenomena" fka "UFO") retrieval/reverse engineering program about first- and second-hand experiences with unknown technology and alien presences, but barely anyone heard about it amidst all the hubbub of the drones. What do you think all of this aerial activity was? Our government? Foreign adversaries? Aliens? Something else?
