Let's start with a quick market update after Friday's brutal actionThe last few days have not been pleasant for owners of gold, silver, miners or indeed bitcoin. Friday saw on 8% fall in silver. How January's euphoria has reversed. That's silver for you. My ongoing thesis that gold, silver et al go nowhere for a year remains in place. The structural backdrop for gold's bull market also remains: growing government debt, huge fiscal deficits, ongoing central bank accumulation, de-dollarisation. But the heat needed to come out of the market, and now it is doing just that.Silver I'm less certain about, as per usual. Its monetary role is largely gone, but if/when gold gets going again, silver will get pulled higher. Industrial demand remains robust. A year ago if you'd said silver will be $68 yet silver investors will be despairing, you'd have been laughed at.That said, I think it probably needs to go back and retest $50 before this correction is done.Miners will follow the metal. But it's important to remember they are effectively leveraged financing vehicles. When risk appetite disappears, they get destroyed almost regardless of geology, though the good ones will come back.In commodity bull markets, investors usually lose money by selling the bottom, sometimes through despair, sometimes because too much leverage forces them to. I still lean toward “structural bull market, cyclical correction”. Though correction is perhaps to light a term when 50-80% of junior mining market caps get wiped out. The sector is not for the faint hearted, though we all love it when it goes up. Remember the great Shelby Davis quote, “You make most of your money in a bear market, you just don't realize it at the time”.I need to conduct a proper bear market portfolio review, which I shall do very soon.As for bitcoin, its correction looks dramatic, but in percentage terms it remains fairly normal by bitcoin standards. I covered it in this week's commentary:A quick housekeeping noteI've decided to withdraw Lifetime Membership to The Flying Frisby at the end of June.The current price is £550 until 15 June. It then rises to £650 before being withdrawn permanently on 30 June.To be clear, despite what the sign-up process says, this is a genuine ONE-OFF payment for lifetime access. I manually convert memberships myself.If you've been considering Lifetime Membership, this is the final opportunity.Any problems, please message me on Substack or reply to this email.Finally, this week I appeared on the Grant Williams podcast, talking about the book. Feedback has been really good. Grant is one of the best interviewers out there and I really enjoyed it.Thank you for being a subscriber to the Flying Frisby.Until next time,Dominic This is a public episode.

This week on the Black. Girl. Iowa. podcast, Emili sits down with community leader, advocate, and changemaker Monique Scarlett for a powerful conversation about Black history, civic engagement, and building bridges in Northwest Iowa. Born and raised in Sioux City, Monique shares what it was like growing up as one of the few Black children in her school during the 1960s and 70s, navigating racism at a young age while learning the importance of resilience, faith, and community. She reflects on the rich but often overlooked history of Black Iowans in Sioux City and the importance of preserving those stories for future generations. The conversation also explores Monique's leadership journey — from serving on the Sioux City School Board to becoming president of the Sioux City NAACP and founding Unity in Community, an organization focused on strengthening relationships between citizens and law enforcement through accountability, education, and dialogue. Throughout the episode, Monique shares wisdom on:The importance of civic engagementBuilding community in spaces where you feel unseenWhy Black women must continue speaking up and taking actionThe role faith plays in leadership and perseveranceCreating accountability instead of simply complaining about systemsWhy preserving Black history in Iowa matters now more than everOne of the most impactful moments of the episode comes when Monique reminds listeners:“A vision without execution is just another hallucination.” This episode is honest, empowering, emotional, and deeply rooted in the belief that change happens when ordinary people decide to show up for their communities.Growing up Black in Sioux CityRacism, resilience, and finding communityBlack history in Northwest IowaLeadership and public serviceUnity in Community and rebuilding trustAccountability and civic actionFaith, perseverance, and purposeA lightning round with Monique ScarlettUnity in Community Sioux City (Facebook)Sioux City NAACPTEDx Talk: “”Be sure to also check out Monique's powerful TEDx Talk, Tap Into the Power of One, where she speaks about leadership, impact, and creating change in your community.Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Pandora, and YouTube.Website: Black.

Washington and the COP conferences get all the headlines, but some of the most creative and effective climate action in the world is emerging from city halls — and Denver's Office of Climate Action is one of the best examples of what's possible.This week, Molly zooms in on the Mile High City as she talks with Chelsea Warren, Marketing and Communications Manager for Denver's Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency. Chelsea has spent years building one of the country's most effective city-level climate communications programs, making the case that local government is where climate action gets real.We talk about:Why local government is the frontline of climate action, and why local action matters more than everHow Denver used the rollback of federal climate policies to motivate voters to fund local climate initiatives like solar, e-bike rebates, heat pump programs, and moreUsing the science of behavioral change to effectively promote climate actionGoodwill pop-ups, ice cream collaborations, and other non-traditional ways Denver activated around a climate campaign, and delivered 128 million impressions in the processWhy financial incentives and positive social comparison beat education every time when it comes to motivating climate actionThe perception gap: most people wildly underestimate how many of their neighbors care about climate actionHow effective, human-centered storytelling can combat pessimism and inactionThe co-benefits frame: reaching people through health, savings, and quality of life, not just the environmentLinks:Denver's Office of Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency: https://www.denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Climate-Action-Sustainability-and-ResiliencyThe Denver Climate Project: https://www.denvergov.org/Community/Denver-Climate-ProjectAll episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Join our Discord! https://discord.gg/2EsDhwQC2zSubscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailReclaiming Shakti: Divine Feminine Force on Luminara—the New Earth" by Maya Tiwari.Core Premise: The Rise of LuminaraThe transcript posits that humanity is currently transitioning from an era of patriarchal control into a "Golden Age" called Luminara (derived from the Latin for "light" and "torch of hope"). The author argues that Planet Earth is a sentient "Mothership" and a living library, and that we are currently undergoing a shift to remember our original, sentient design.Key Concepts & ThemesShakti and the Sacred Feminine: Shakti is defined as the primordial, creative, and dynamic feminine energy of the universe. The author asserts that women are the embodiment of this force and are currently being called to "reclaim" their inherent power.The Breakdown of Patriarchal Systems: The text claims that for the last 300,000 years, humanity has been under the influence of an "archonic" (patriarchal) system established by outside forces (the Annunaki) to enslave humanity and exploit Earth. The author suggests these systems are now crumbling as the frequency of the Earth increases.Shiva-Shakti Balance: While emphasizing the feminine, the author advocates for moving beyond a dualistic, binary perspective. The goal is to harmonize the Shakti (energy) and Shiva (consciousness) inherent in all genders, allowing men to rediscover their own "protective and stoic" masculine nature.The "Red Bindu": A central metaphor in the text is the "Red Bindu," described as a drop of Shakti Prana imprinted in the reproductive memory of all females, serving as the origin of consciousness and vitality.The 20% Awakening: Drawing on a variation of critical mass theory, the author claims that more than 20% of the world's population is now leaning toward the understanding that we are "self-aware consciousness and children of Mother Earth." She argues that this threshold is sufficient to catalyze a global shift in awareness.Call to ActionThe transcript concludes by encouraging listeners to:Redefine Feminine Power: Move away from models that simply mimic masculine structures and instead embrace a new vision rooted in the Shakti principle.Engage in Personal/Social Transformation: The author posits that personal enlightenment drives social enlightenment, and that the "quiet surge of awareness" currently felt by many will lead to a radical overhaul of cultural, economic, and political structures.Excerpted from I Am Shakti - bookSupport the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self- tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org
Tad Hopp is joining us today! Tad is a sobriety coach for gay men, and he recently moved to Amsterdam on the DAFT visa. His story is about finally taking action after decades of waiting, getting on the same page as his husband, and building a new community abroad.Tad and I are covering:Why he finally made the move (after ~30 years)His husband's initial hesitancy and how he gradually came around, especially after seeing Tad take actionThe right timing: How the current political landscape and new access to resources played their rolesWhy the Netherlands DAFT visa was the best pathHow relationships can take time to align for big changesThe move isn't always smooth: pushing through the “what have I done?” phaseCommunity and putting yourself out there is everything once you make it overBig moves aren't perfect. They're messy and uncertain, but waiting isn't risk-free either. Tad's advice: take the leap, figure it out as you go, and trust that it'll all work out.Subscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

When the main oncology hospital in Kharkiv was bombed, patients started dying — not from the bombs, but from losing access to their chemotherapy. Ross Skobronski, a Spanish-Ukrainian mathematician who had come to Kharkiv to visit family just one month before the full-scale invasion, watched and waited for someone to respond. No one did. So he did it himself.Today, Mission Kharkiv serves more than 3,200 oncology patients with full treatment courses across Ukraine, operating a cold chain logistics system out of a bunker four metres underground. Ross and his team of 62 deliver chemotherapy to hospital doors on the day of each patient's session — a level of precision and responsiveness that puts much larger organisations to shame.In this conversation, Ross talks about how he built Mission Kharkiv from scratch, why his mathematical training shaped his problem-solving more than any humanitarian manual could, and what he sees as the fundamental disconnect in how the sector talks about localization. As the chair of the NGO platform's steering committee in Ukraine, he brings a sharp outsider's perspective on the dynamics between international and national NGOs — and why he doesn't believe power will ever be shared voluntarily.In this episode:How a $40 million pharmaceutical donation launched Mission KharkivBuilding cold chain logistics in a city under siegeWhy "naivety" might be the most undervalued quality in humanitarian actionThe gap between localization rhetoric and reality on the groundWhy Ross believes power must be taken, not sharedA proposal for a localization accountability framework with measurable indicatorsWhat it would take to replicate Mission Kharkiv in other countriesGuest: Ross Skobronski, Founder and Director of Mission Kharkiv and Chair of the Steering Committee of the NGO Platform in Ukraine.

Together, we unpack what's really happening beneath the surface for so many men today.Because what if the reason men struggle to open up… isn't what we think? We explore the hidden layers of vulnerability, the roles men feel pressured to play, and why so many people feel disconnected even when they've “made it.”If you've ever struggled to express your emotions, felt misunderstood in your relationships, or wondered why success doesn't always equal fulfillment… this one is for you.What you'll get out of this episode… Vulnerability is not weakness; it's courage in actionThe biggest misconception about men and emotionsWhy emotional safety is the gateway to real connectionHow to begin the process of healingThe importance of sports for children's developmentWhat happens when work becomes playWhy success doesn't guarantee happinessConnect with RobbieWEB / https://www.robbieuthappa.com IG / https://www.instagram.com/robinaiyudauthappa YT / https://www.youtube.com/@TheRobbieUthappa This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics
Episode 328: Why “Everything Is Fine” Is the Most Dangerous Sentence in HealthcarePodcast: The Thrive Forever Fit ShowHost: Jay Nixon“Everything is fine.”It sounds reassuring.It feels comforting.And in many cases, it's the most dangerous sentence in modern healthcare.In this episode, Jay breaks down a pattern he has seen repeatedly in recent Metabolic Strategy Sessions: clear metabolic warning signs, significant dysfunction, and obvious trends being dismissed because numbers fall “within range.”This is not an attack on doctors.And it's not fear-based.It's an honest conversation about how a sick care system operates, why early warning signs are often ignored, and how people quietly drift from dysfunction into disease while being told there is nothing to worry about.If you've ever been told your labs are “normal” but didn't feel normal, this episode will change how you view your health forever.Why reference ranges do not equal optimal healthThe difference between “in range” and metabolically safeHow disease develops long before diagnosisWhy early warning signs are routinely dismissedHow blood sugar, liver dysfunction, inflammation, and hormone issues quietly progressWhy cholesterol often triggers urgency while other markers are ignoredHow prescription pathways drive decision-makingWhy waiting a year to “recheck labs” can be dangerousWhat proactive health ownership actually looks likeNormal does not mean optimalEarly dysfunction is the best time to interveneFalse reassurance delays meaningful actionThe system treats disease better than it prevents itRelief and reassurance are not the same as resolutionTrends matter more than single data pointsAsking better questions leads to better outcomesAnyone who has been told “everything is fine” despite feeling offPeople confused by conflicting or dismissive medical adviceThose with labs that feel concerning but unexplainedAnyone who wants to prevent disease instead of manage itPeople ready to take ownership of their metabolic healthMost people don't become unhealthy overnight.Health erodes quietly while warning signs are dismissed, delayed, or ignored.This episode explains why proactive education, early intervention, and systems-based thinking are essential and why relying solely on reassurance can cost you years of health.“Everything is fine” should never end the conversation.It should start better questions.Because the goal isn't to manage disease once it shows up.The goal is to prevent it from ever arriving.Clarity is not overreacting.It's ownership.

The real challenge is building the confidence, structure, and consistency to apply that knowledge in real life.They also explore the mental and emotional side of diabetes management, including how overwhelm, perfectionism, and fear can keep people from taking action.This episode is a reminder that progress in diabetes doesn't come from doing everything perfectly—it comes from taking consistent, intentional action over time.

The overwhelming amount of information, emotion, and terror we are experiencing in the world right now can make it hard to know what to do with ourselves. Last week's episode came from my own experience of feeling like I was going to break and realizing my nervous system was completely overloaded. In this episode, I build on that and talk about what to do—because it's not enough to say you will “just get off social media” or “stop doom scrolling.” If it were that simple, I would have stopped, and maybe you would have too. We'll look at why this is so hard to put down and what it takes to step back in a way that allows you to stay informed without losing yourself in the crush of information. Here's what I cover:Why doom scrolling is not activism and can hinder you from taking thoughtful actionThe good girl rules that make disengaging feel like a moral failingWhy learning to regulate your nervous system can be a powerful form of resistanceWhat happens when your reptile brain takes over and you're stuck in looping thoughtsPractical ways to regulate so you can stay informed and respond in ways that actually helpFind Sara here:sarafisk.coachpages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationswww.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachwww.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm joined by Edward Vilga to talk about his new book, The Science of Getting Rich Journal.Edward took the original 1910 prosperity classic, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, and created a 40-day guided journal designed to help readers actively apply its principles. Instead of simply reading about wealth, gratitude, faith, and creative thinking, this journal turns those ideas into a structured daily practice.Our conversation centers on identity and wealth — and why mindset and belief systems must come before strategy. We talk about the difference between passive manifestation and aligned action, and why visualization without follow-through isn't enough. Edward shares the neuroscience behind journaling and how consistent reflection can help rewire the brain, increase clarity, and shift long-held patterns around money.In this episode, we discuss:How Edward transformed a classic prosperity text into a practical, action-oriented journalWhy identity and belief shape your ability to create wealthThe difference between passive manifestation and aligned actionThe neuroscience behind journaling and brain rewiringGratitude as a foundation for abundanceCreative mindset vs. competitive mindsetWhy repetition and structure (like a 40-day practice) support real transformationStrengthening your relationship to money without shame or guiltIf you're building a business, leading clients, or working to strengthen your own relationship with money, this episode offers a grounded framework for thinking about prosperity differently. Wealth, as we discuss it here, isn't about quick fixes. It's about becoming the kind of person who can create, hold, and act from abundance over time.Check out The Science of Getting Rich Journal AND a special bonus course when you purchase here.

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!This week, I'm talking about the Lunar New Year, the shift into the Year of the Horse, and the myths that tend to create more fear than flow at this time of year.If you've been feeling unsettled, emotional, energised one minute and completely drained the next, you are not imagining it. We're moving through a powerful transition point. The solar feng shui new year has already shifted the energetic blueprint of our homes, and now the Lunar New Year brings the emotional and collective reset.This episode is about understanding what's actually happening, why February can feel like a threshold month, and how to work with this energy rather than pushing against it.Inside this episode, I'm talking about:Why early February can feel intense, reactive or overstimulatingThe difference between the solar new year and the Lunar New YearWhy the Year of the Horse is about aligned momentum, not frantic actionThe importance of preparation before paceThe symbolism behind common Lunar New Year mythsWhether you really can clean, wash your hair or cut itWhy arguments, money and broken plates are more about intention than superstitionHow beginnings imprint your nervous system for the year aheadWhy boundaries and energy protection matter more than ever right nowHow to strengthen your foundations before March brings more movementThis is your reminder that these traditions are not about superstition or getting it wrong. They are about consciousness. They are about recognising that beginnings matter and that how you show up emotionally and physically at the start of a cycle carries forward.You can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.

This week on the Traci explores what it really means to be cynical at work with Hywel Berry, CEO and founder of Alicorn Learning. A veteran of corporate leadership, sales, and organizational training, Hywel challenges the narrative that cynicism is inherently toxic—and argues that some of the most valuable people in your organization might just be the ones asking tough questions.Throughout this conversation, you'll discover how to harness skepticism as a leadership tool, understand why tone matters more than words, and learn what "realistic optimism" actually looks like when everything feels impossible.What we cover:The cynic paradoxChallenging without being dismissiveTone as strategyRealistic optimism in actionThe role of the natural cynicSpeaking up safelyFeedback meets cynicisIIntention versus impactCode switching for leadersMoving the needle forwardConnect with Hywel Berry:Website: alicornlearning.com | LinkedIn Connect with Traci:https://linktr.ee/HRTraciDisclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products or services.

Two people can work in the same market, see the same data, and experience completely different results.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett explore the powerful role perspective plays in business, life, and decision-making. Using a simple but unforgettable analogy from The Courage to Be Disliked, they unpack how ownership, mindset, and language quietly shape what we experience.This conversation challenges the habit of blaming external forces and invites a more empowering question: How am I approaching the environment in front of me?In this episode, we discuss:Why the same market produces different results for different peopleHow perspective influences energy, confidence, and actionThe danger of giving power to external circumstancesWhy ownership creates clarity and momentumHow gratitude and self-awareness change what you see—and what you act onThis episode isn't about pretending things are easy. It's about recognizing what's constant, understanding what's subjective, and choosing an approach that actually serves you.
This podcast discusses domestic violence. Sit this one out if you need to Many of us are enraged, shocked, and paralysed by the unfolding information from the JE files. Many of us are also dismayed at the continuing epidemic of domestic violence and murder-by-partner. What do we do? How can we help change things? We can learn how to be an ally in our own communities and circles better. Outrage and sadness must be used as springboards for action, I truly believe it. I'm joined by counsellor and author Patricia Gordon Stevens to talk about domestic and partner violence — a subject too often minimised, despite affecting 25% of women in some of the world's wealthiest countries. We explore why silence and discomfort only deepen the harm, and why education, community, and care matter so deeply.In this conversation, we cover:Why the moment a woman chooses to leave is often the most dangerous timeHow coercive control can appear long before physical violence doesThe subtle red flags friends, families, and colleagues can look forHow to ask caring, non-judgmental questions that keep the connection openWhy Patricia chose fiction (Madness in Memphis) to build empathy that leads to actionThe role men can play in calling out harmful behaviour and changing culture locallyThis episode is confronting, but it's also hopeful. Change doesn't start with grand gestures — it starts with noticing, staying connected, and showing up for the women in our lives.I hope you find it useful and helpful as I did, Alexx, your host.

If you're running an affiliate program based purely on last-click attribution, you're missing the complete picture of how customers actually buy. Phil Thompson, Partnerships Manager at fintech publisher Zilch, shares insights from their platform's 5 million UK customers to reveal shopping behaviours that challenge everything affiliate managers assume about consumer loyalty, price sensitivity, and partner value. Lee-Ann and Phil discuss why traditional cookie tracking leaves critical gaps, how to leverage first-party data without expensive integrations, and why the grocery shopper who seems loyal to one brand is simultaneously spending three times more with competitors.Talking Points Include:The affiliate channel's unique negotiation problem that happens after the sale instead of before, and why payment processing data fills gaps that cookie consent leaves behindHow Zilch's fee-free credit model converts competitor customers by offsetting the cost of interest-free installments through merchant commissions rather than charging consumers late fees or interestWhy price-led marketing is lazy marketing and what Valentine's Day dinner-for-two campaigns teach us about emotional storytelling that actually changes consumer behavior.Listen to Find Out More About:The exact moment UK consumers became willing to abandon brand loyalty for fee-free payment flexibility, and what this reveals about post-peak shopping psychologyWhy Phil refuses to position Zilch campaigns as integration-heavy when they run on standard Visa rails, and how this changes the barrier to entry for testing new publisher typesHow Intelligent Commerce tracking uses merchant ID data to close attribution gaps that cookie-based models leave wide openThe demographic shift that took Zilch from Gen Z fintech app to cross-generational payment tool, and why cost-of-living pressures create opportunities for value-focused affiliate partnershipsWhy diversification matters more than ever when clicks still exist but shopping behavior fragments across devices, apps, and privacy-conscious browsingKey Segments of This Podcast and Where You Can Tune In to Go Direct:[09:05] How Intelligent Commerce works: using merchant ID and payment processing data to fill attribution gaps that traditional cookie tracking misses[13:16] The consistent age-group patterns Zilch sees in 2025 spending data, and why everyone hunts for value right now, not just younger demographics[22:22] Why one-month campaigns don't typically move consumer behaviour needles, and the longer timeline required to shift shopping habits permanently[25:07] Phil's call for affiliate managers to stay open to testing and learning, even after being burned by publisher types in the pastCall to ActionThe affiliate programs that thrive this year won't be the ones clinging to 2019 playbooks. They'll be the managers who embrace data partnerships, extend attribution visibility beyond cookie tracking, and recognize that publishers deliver value across the entire funnel, not just at conversion.

We're back from hiatus with a deep-dive political conversation you've probably been craving. Atima is joined by returning guest Roshni Nedungadi, founding partner and Chief Research Officer at HIT Strategies, to break down what happened in the 2024 and 2025 elections, why turnout shifted among young voters and voters of color, and what it all means as we head into 2026.This episode focuses on the big question: how do Democrats win when trust is low, costs are high, and voters are exhausted by chaos—and what does the data say voters actually need to hear to show up? IN THIS EPISODE:Why turnout dropped among Black, Latino, and AAPI voters in 2024—and what that meant for DemocratsHIT Strategies' core framework: mobilize marginalized base voters vs. prioritizing persuadable moderatesThe “what have you done for me lately?” question young voters kept asking—and why it matteredWhy cost of living (not abstract “the economy”) remains the dominant driverWhat 2025 results suggested: broad movement toward Democrats in many places, including shifts even in rural areasWhy “vote against Trump” isn't enough—and what voters want to vote for insteadWhat voters mean when they say they're tired of empty promises and want real actionThe role of authenticity: why messaging can't just be “poll-tested paragraphs”What issues are rising now: healthcare affordability and fears tied to racism/discrimination and safetyHow to read polls critically (sample size, registered vs. likely voters, and why “women voters” stats often erase women of color)What everyday people can do: talk to your networks and break through siloed informationIf you're trying to make sense of conflicting narratives—“the base is disengaged” vs. “Democrats are rebounding”—this episode helps you hold both truths at once. Roshni explains what the data shows about trust, turnout, and persuasion, and why the road to 2026 depends on rebuilding relationships with the voters who make up the Democratic coalition—especially young voters and voters of color.Timestamps:00:00:00 — Atima welcomes listeners back from hiatus + introduces Roshni Gati (HIT Strategies) and the focus: what 2025 results mean for 202600:03:00 — The 2024 turnout drop: Black, Latino, and AAPI turnout declines (and what that signaled for Democrats)00:07:00 — Why young voters of color disengaged in 2024: “Democrats have been in charge… what have you done for my life?”
Campaigns for Pest Control Marketing.Most pest control marketing doesn't fail because the ideas are bad—it fails because the campaigns aren't planned, executed consistently, or measured the right way.In this episode, Casey breaks down how to build a real multi-channel campaign plan that combines offline marketing (door hangers, USPS EDDM mailers, truck wraps), paid lead generation (Google Local Service Ads, Google PPC, Yelp), and owned media (email referral campaigns and long-term organic/SEO) into one coordinated system.You'll learn how to stop running “random acts of marketing” and instead launch campaigns with clear goals, tracking, and follow-up—so you can see what's working, what's wasting money, and what to scale next.How to plan campaigns so every channel supports the same offer, audience, and call-to-actionThe 5 essentials every campaign must have before you launch (so you can measure ROI)How to track and measure offline marketing like door hangers, EDDM, and truck wrapsWhat to watch in Google LSA and Google PPC to determine lead quality—not just volumeWhy lead handling (answer rate, speed-to-lead, follow-up) is the hidden factor behind campaign successThe “Campaign Scoreboard” method: tracking Leads → Booked Jobs → Cost per Booked Job across every channelHow to think about long-term organic growth as the SERP changes with AI answers and reduced clicksThe difference between short-term demand capture (paid) and long-term compounding growth (organic + brand)You don't need more marketing ideas—you need a campaign system with a consistent execution rhythm and a simple scoreboard that makes decisions obvious.If you want a complete marketing strategy that actually gets implemented—and produces measurable growth—this episode is your roadmap.

What happens when you invest so deeply in your people that they could leave today and find success starting their own business?The most likely outcome: they stay and you continue growing together.But the more common path: a more transactional approach for fear they'll leave you.Jon Cheplak returns to Real Estate Team OS to explain why he thinks 90% of real estate team leaders shouldn't be team leaders and to share what the 10% have in common.Jon's been in the seat himself and he and his partners coach top-performing team leaders and operations leaders (many you've met here on the show).Scaling on principles, rather than on personality.Pouring into people without fear, limitation, or calculation.Developing people first and businesses second.Walking the talk as the key to leadership.Improving your copywriting and storytelling.Jon shares all that and more in a great conversation to set you up for a successful year ahead.Watch or listen for Jon's insights into:Why community is so desirable and powerful right nowHow principles scale and why personality doesn'tHis four core principles, his eight core values, and the difference between themThe three ways to get people to take actionThe two ways to give people attention and why fear holds team leaders back from bothWhy 90% of team leaders shouldn't be team leaders and four criteria to help you know for your yourselfTwo ways to find your operations leader and one way NOT to (spoiler: look inside your team)Why you're already a better copywriter than you think, how and why to get better at it, plus the difference between marketing and salesAt the end, learn about pitchforking manure and the risk and payoff of committing to a 375-acre ranch.Four principles Jon lives by:→ Personal responsibility, accountability, commitment, contributionEight values Jon lives by:→ Fun, love, dignity, respect, humility, vulnerability, transparency, volunteerismMentioned in this episode:→ FUBCON Session with Jon Cheplak https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/jon-cheplak-real-estate-teams-traditional-brokerages→ 084 Living in the Leads with Lauren Bowen https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/real-estate-leads-systems-tools-increase-conversion-lauren-bowen-lpt-realty→ 037 Prospecting for Listings with Greg Harrelson https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/real-estate-prospecting-listings-greg-harrelson→ 082 Making Your First Operations Hire with Camila Rivera https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/team-leader-guide-making-your-first-operations-hire-camila-rivera→ Inside Whissel Realty Group https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCJiXNo93cVqQmwl4tTOQYebBkBoL6ipzConnect with Jon Cheplak→ https://www.facebook.com/joncheplak/Connect with Real Estate Team OS→ https://www.realestateteamos.com→ https://linktr.ee/realestateteamos→ https://www.instagram.com/realestateteamos/
In this episode, Misty Jayne joins Jodie Brown, the host of the Hairstylist Rising Podcast to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in the beauty industry: the real difference between coaching, mentoring, education, and consulting and why more information isn't always the answer.This conversation is for hairstylists and salon owners who feel stuck despite being talented, booked out, and knowledgeable. We talk about why overlearning can become a form of avoidance, how fear and identity play a bigger role than skill gaps, and when it's time to stop searching for answers and start looking inward.In this episode, we cover:Why having all the strategy doesn't guarantee actionThe difference between a coach, mentor, educator, and consultantHow coaching helps uncover the real reasons you're stuckWhy confidence comes from action, not more classesHow people-pleasing, fear of being seen, and overthinking show up for stylistsWhen to hire a coach vs when education is actually the right moveWhat “Starting Messy” really means (and why your mess isn't the problem)If you've ever thought, “What's wrong with me? Why can't I just do the thing?” this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on.
In this episode of A Productive Conversation, I sit down once again with author and researcher Chris Bailey to explore what it really means to live—and work—intentionally. This conversation centers on his latest book, Intentional: How to Finish What You Start, and the decade of curiosity that led him there.We dig into why goals often fail us, how culture shapes our relationship with productivity, and why values—not habits, hacks, or willpower—sit at the core of meaningful progress. This isn't a surface-level productivity chat. It's a thoughtful examination of why we do what we do, and how to align our days with who we actually are.Six Discussion PointsWhy values—not goals—are the true drivers of intentional actionThe “intention stack” and how daily actions connect to lifelong directionWhy SMART goals aren't as smart as we've been led to believeCultural differences in how productivity and calm are valuedNight owls, morning routines, and the danger of “sepia-toned” goalsThe role of reflection in escaping default behavior and finishing what mattersThree Connection PointsBuy the bookCheck out Chris's websiteListen to Chris's first appearance the podcast (from October 2014!)This episode is a reminder that productivity isn't about doing more—it's about doing what fits. If you've ever felt friction between your goals and your values, or wondered why “good habits” still leave you unsatisfied, this conversation will give you plenty to reflect on—and return to.
The most powerful way to enter a new year is not with resolutions, but with a deeper understanding of how to connect with the people who matter most.As we close out the year, the Finding Mastery team is taking time to rest, re-calibrate and reflect — practicing the same principles we talk about on this podcast. So today, we're sharing a conversation from the Finding Mastery Vault with two legends in the science of relationships: Drs. John and Julie Gottman.Together, they've spent more than 50 years studying what makes love last — from small moments of connection to the hidden habits that quietly erode trust. In this conversation, we explore the daily rituals that deepen intimacy, how to repair after conflict, and why the best relationships aren't perfect — they're practiced.In this episode, you'll learn:How to turn conflict into closeness through repairThe four behaviors that quietly destroy relationships (and how to replace them)Why “love is a verb” — and what that means in actionThe difference between bids for connection and real listeningHow to communicate needs without criticism or defensivenessFrom the entire Finding Mastery team, we wish you and your loved ones a very happy, healthy New Year. We'll see you in 2026!

Your plant-based practice isn't limited by your motivation, your recipes, or your compassion — it's limited by its weakest link. In this episode, Michele explores the Theory of Constraints and how a single bottleneck can shape your vegan practice, your daily choices, and even your confidence.Using a classic car-factory example, Michele breaks down how systems stall when one step is overloaded — and how the same thing happens in our own lives. Whether you're starting, restarting, or re-energizing your vegan journey, identifying the real constraint (the one you may be avoiding) can unlock ease, momentum, and clarity.Michele also shares one of her own constraints around visibility and asking listeners to share the show — modeling how naming a bottleneck creates a path forward.If you've been overthinking your vegan practice, trying to “fix” everything except the thing that truly needs attention, this episode will help you locate the actual sticking point and begin addressing it gently and effectively.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy your vegan practice is only as strong as its weakest linkWhat the Theory of Constraints (TOC) is, and how it applies to everyday lifeA simple, memorable manufacturing example that explains TOC in actionThe difference between optimizing what's already working vs. addressing the real bottleneckHow micro-constraints like breakfast indecision, social discomfort, or evening exhaustion quietly limit your progressWhy perfectionism is often the real constraintHow to identify your personal bottleneck without overwhelmMichele's own visibility constraint — and how naming it opens a path to growthWhy “how you go vegan is how you do everything” applies directly to constraint-breakingEpisode Highlights“A system is only as strong as its slowest step — and your vegan practice is no different.”“Fifty cookbooks won't help if the real constraint is evening exhaustion.”“Knowledge isn't the bottleneck if what you truly need is social courage.”“Perfectionism isn't a strategy — it's a constraint.”“You don't need to fix everything. You only need to fix the part that's actually stuck.”“How you go vegan is how you do everything.”Try This This WeekIdentify one bottleneck in your plant-based practice:What moment of the day creates friction?Where do you feel the most self-conscious or unsupported?Which small step are you avoiding?What emotion leads you to choose convenience over intention?Choose one constraint and gently place your attention there — not on all the other things that feel imperfect.Subscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

We're back with one of the most loved formats on Passionate & Prosperous: a real coaching session you get to listen in on and apply to your own business.In this episode, I'm coaching Caryn Bothman, a midlife coach and founder of Midlife Mama Co., who supports women navigating the transitions of midlife, empty nests, aging parents, and the “where did I go?” feeling that so many women have at this stage. Caryn is passionate about women's empowerment, personal development, and creating community through workshops, retreats, and in-person connection, but like many newer entrepreneurs, she's feeling the tension between all the things she could do and what will actually build a sustainable coaching business.We dig into where to focus first, how to think strategically about one-on-one coaching vs. group programs and workshops, and what it really takes to attract clients when you don't have a big audience yet. We talk about audience growth, list-building, lead magnets, email marketing, social media, and personal outreach, and why repetition in your messaging is not only allowed, it's required.If you've ever wondered, “Should I be doing more on social? A group program? A workshop? Where do clients even come from?” this conversation is going to feel like sitting in on a private business and marketing strategy session for your own coaching practice.In this coaching session, we dive into:How to reverse engineer your business by starting with what you actually want (income, lifestyle, and how you like to work) and building your offer strategy from thereWhy it's usually smarter to focus on one-on-one coaching first before launching group programs, memberships, and paid workshopsThe real role of workshops, talks, and live events in a profitable coaching business (and why they often work best as visibility + client attraction tools more than primary revenue streams)How to think about audience growth, lead magnets, and email list growth so you have people to invite into your offersWhy only a small percentage of your social media followers ever see your posts—and what that means about being “redundant” with your content, invitations, and calls to actionThe power of personal outreach, DM voice notes, and actual conversations in signing clients (instead of hoping a post, funnel, or sales page does all the work)How to structure discovery calls, follow-ups, and intentional communication so you're not accidentally coaching for free and then leaving people to talk themselves out of getting supportIf you're a coach or service-based entrepreneur in the earlier stages of your business—especially if you love the idea of in-person workshops, retreats, and community experiences—this episode will help you see the order of operations that actually creates a steady, prosperous coaching business.You'll also hear us talk about what it looks like to build your “yellow brick road” of offers and touchpoints over time, so that everything you do—social media, email, workshops, personal outreach, and discovery calls—works together to attract, nurture, and convert the right clients in a grounded, human way.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

In this episode, you'll discover:Why survival mode blocks you from your own inner knowingHow to tell the difference between being busy and taking real actionThe three stages of pausing that pull you out of autopilot modeWhat if the very thing you think is making you productive is actually keeping you stuck?I used to believe that the more I did, the more I'd achieve. More workshops. More meditation apps. More morning routines. I was collecting healing modalities like they were going out of style. I was convinced that if I just found the right combination, everything would click. But I kept feeling exhausted in a way that sleep couldn't fix. One day I realized something. All that doing was just another way to avoid being. I was so busy healing that I never had time to actually feel anything.Most of us have confused motion with momentum. We think pausing means falling behind. That rest is for people who aren't serious. But what if the opposite is true? What if you're stuck because you never stop long enough to recalibrate?Today our guest is Jeanette Bronée, a self care strategist, keynote speaker, and author of The Self Care Mindset.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/428Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
