This week, our hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Dave Bittner⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Carrigan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (also host of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠T-Minus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Space Daily show) are back sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with some follow up, as Joe shares with us a complaint he has with Vanguard. Maria's story is on McAfee's latest research revealing that one in five Americans has fallen for a travel scam—often losing hundreds of dollars—despite many trying to stay vigilant, as scammers use fake websites, AI-altered photos, and phishing links to exploit deal-seeking travelers. Joe's got two stories this week: the first one is from Rachel Tobac on LinkedIn, breaking down how attackers like Scattered Spider are using phone-based impersonation, fake domains, and social engineering to breach insurance companies, and the second is on Aflac confirming it was hit in a cyberattack believed to be part of a broader campaign targeting the insurance sector, likely tied to the same threat group. Dave's story is on brushing scams, a scheme the United States Postal Service is warning about, where scammers send unordered packages—often low-cost items—to people's addresses so they can fraudulently post fake “verified” reviews online using the recipient's name and address to boost product rankings. Our catch of the day is from the scams sub-Reddit, where someone shared text messages from a scammer asking for only a small favor. Complete our annual audience survey before August 31.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Marc Nudelberg. Marc is a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, award-winning leadership and sales coach, and the president of On the Ball, a family-owned coaching agency that's been helping businesses grow for over 25 years. Marc's journey began on the sidelines—as an NCAA Division I football coach—where he learned the power of discipline, culture, and performance under pressure. But he didn't stop there. Recognizing that leadership fundamentals transcend the game, he transitioned from coaching athletes to coaching entrepreneurs, executives, and high-performing teams across industries. Under Marc's leadership, On the Ball has become a nationally recognized brand, working with organizations like Aflac, City Furniture, Amerant Bank, and UKG.

Special guest Damien Sczepaniak , a seasoned Aflac agent, unpacks how supplemental insurance like short-term disability, accident coverage, and critical illness plans can protect your paycheck and your peace of mind when life throws you a curveball. Learn how Aflac insurance for seniors helps cover out-of-pocket medical costs, bridges the gap in traditional healthcare plans, and works with Medicare—not against it. Whether you’re still working, planning retirement, or helping a loved one navigate aging, this episode is packed with real talk, smart tips, and one simple question: If you insure your phone, why not your future?

If the word “sales” makes you cringe, this episode will change your mind—and your bottom line. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Ursula Mentjes, a USA Today bestselling author, business strategist, and certified NLP coach, who has helped thousands of entrepreneurs double their revenue while working less. Together, they explore how limiting beliefs around money, visibility, and “being pushy” sabotage success—and how a heart-centered, service-driven approach to selling can unlock abundance. This episode dives into how your subconscious mind affects your sales behaviors, why creatives and healers need to embrace selling, and how a simple identity shift can lead to exponential growth. You'll leave with actionable steps to replace fear with purpose, and scarcity with service. About the Guest:Ursula Mentjes is the bestselling author of UpLevel Now, a transformational speaker, and host of the Quantum Revenue Expansion podcast. She's trained global brands like Aflac and Keller Williams and shared the stage with legends like Les Brown and Lisa Nichols. Ursula empowers business owners to rewire their beliefs and tap into a higher level of revenue—without burnout. Key Takeaways: Sales is not about being pushy—it's about solving problems with intention. Most limiting beliefs come from subconscious programming that keeps us “safe” but stuck. You can shift your identity from “not a salesperson” to a professionally persistent problem solver. Your morning habits directly impact your sales performance—link new habits to existing ones. Great work deserves great income—and learning to sell is a gift to yourself and those you serve.

962: A unified customer experience helps companies deliver consistency, build trust, and reduce friction across their offerings making it easier for customers to engage, buy, and stay loyal. That's why Aflac is investing in a unified group strategy consolidating acquired products into a seamless, integrated experience across dental, vision, disability, and more. In this episode of Technovation, Peter High interviews Shelia Anderson, EVP and CIO of Aflac, and speaks with her about the company's strategy for transforming IT from a fragmented, acquisition-heavy operation into a centralized, data-driven engine for business value. She outlines how Aflac avoided a costly cloud migration misstep, refocused its data and AI capabilities, and aligned talent strategy with architectural goals. Her approach to innovation is pragmatic and powerful: tie everything to business priorities and know your why.

During this Women's History Month and anytime, her job as Associate Brand Manager for Aflac (headquartered in Columbus GA) gives her the opportunity to put women in the spotlight, like when she went to the NCAA women's Final Four last year, among some big names. We also talk on this episode about transitioning from being only to runner to strength training...dealing with the pressures of being a strong woman on the job and in the gym...and how faith brought her out of a path of panic. After a update on the growth of women's sports, (6:20) Madison Montgomery joins in to talk about her Final Four experience, why it's important to shine the light on female athletes, and her advice for young women. (17:00) Becoming "too thin" a year ago, Madison has since lifted weights more and hired a nutrition coach. You may be surprised what she's learned about workouts and especially food (and more of it). She also describes the "athlete camp" she recently attended. (27:18) In her mid 20s and busy juggling school and jobs and being fit...she started having panic attacks which led to depression and thoughts of suicide. She shares her story to help other women who may think they need to portray having it all together. (37:08) And Madison credits getting through dark times to the Lord's grace. She talks about starting her day early through quiet time with God. And she wants to experience as much as she can in life - which recently has helped her see women's sports in a different light.

In this episode of CX Decoded, host Dom Nicastro, editor-in-chief of CMSWire, dives into the future of AI in customer service with insights from three leading experts in the field. This episode brings together discussions from two separate CMSWire TV "Beyond the Call" interviews, featuring Barry Cooper, president of NICE's CX Division; Tom Laird, CEO of Expivia; and Keith Farley, SVP of Individual Voluntary Benefits at Aflac.

In this insightful episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra welcomes Mitch Warner, Managing Partner at The Arbinger Institute and co-author of Leadership and Self-Deception. Mitch guides us through the core principles of Arbinger's groundbreaking work, exploring the central idea of self-deception—a psychological barrier that prevents individuals from seeing others clearly and, ultimately, impedes personal and organizational growth.Mitch introduces the concept of self-deception as the tendency to see ourselves inaccurately, often with a biased or distorted lens, which leads us to misjudge others as obstacles or tools rather than as people with legitimate needs and perspectives. This inward mindset results from what Arbinger terms self-betrayal, a failure to act on our internal sense of how we should treat others. Mitch emphasizes that self-deception is not just a personal issue but a core problem in organizations, affecting everything from team collaboration to leadership effectiveness. He explains how leaders unwittingly create and sustain the very conflicts they seek to resolve by failing to see their own role in the challenges they face.The discussion shifts to Arbinger's proposed solution: shifting from an inward mindset to an outward mindset. Mitch explains that an inward mindset centers on self-justification, blame, and defensiveness, where others are seen merely as obstacles or means to achieve personal goals. By contrast, an outward mindset recognizes others as individuals with needs, goals, and aspirations as real as our own. Mitch discusses how adopting an outward mindset can transform workplaces, leading to stronger relationships, better communication, higher accountability, and improved results.One of the most powerful concepts discussed is the idea of collusion—a cycle of conflict where two or more people reinforce each other's negative behaviors. Mitch describes how this dynamic is fueled by self-deception, as individuals are more focused on defending their own views than understanding others' perspectives. Collusion often manifests as blame, resentment, and resistance, creating silos and perpetuating dysfunction in teams. Mitch explains that breaking the cycle of collusion requires leaders to first recognize their own part in the conflict, shifting their focus from changing others to changing themselves.Mitch also offers insights into the updated 4th edition of Leadership and Self-Deception, which features modernized examples, diverse characters, and new scenarios that address contemporary workplace challenges. The new edition incorporates practical tools and study guides to help readers apply Arbinger's principles in both personal and professional contexts.

We've got a weird Deion Sanders press conference and scrimmage intel from Georgia and Ohio State, but first some news. (0:00-2:14) Intro: Previewing the show (2:15-4:58) Texas A&M RB Rueben Owens out for the season (4:59-8:16) Iowa's QB Status (8:17-10:06) AD (10:07-32:31) Deion Sanders Celebrates Media Day (32:32-57:10) Deep Dive into Georgia's Fall Camp (57:11-1:17:20) Spencer Holbrook joins to update us on Ohio State (1:17:21-1:18:22) Conclusion, see you tomorrow! Bad news out of College Station. Texas A&M tailback Rueben Owens will miss the entire 2024 season after suffering an injury during the weekend. Meanwhile, there might be a quarterback controversy at Iowa. Northwestern transfer Brendan Sullivan might challenge Cade McNamara for the starting job. Colorado coach Deion Sanders held a bizarre press conference Friday that included shutting out the local CBS affiliate for, um, reasons and a random question about Aflac that felt like a plant. Sanders doesn't sound ultra confident after a week of practice, but Andy explains why he wants unhinged press conferences the rest of the way from Coach Prime. Next, Jake Rowe of On3's Dawgs HQ talks Georgia following the first major scrimmage of the preseason. How is the receiver depth after the dismissal of RaRa Thomas? Which tight end(s) will wind up getting the touches that used to go to Brock Bowers? Later, Spencer Holbrook of On3's Lettermen Row talks Ohio State after the Buckeyes' first major preseason scrimmage. Kansas State transfer Will Howard looks like he's got a grip on QB1. Meanwhile, Ryan Day keeps demurring when asked about freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith. That's OK, because everyone else is talking about the former No. 1 overall recruit.

How did one man's battle with cancer reshape his approach to life and mentoring? Mike Coy reveals the key habits and mindset shifts that have helped him succeed in multiple fields, even in the face of serious health challenges. In today's episode, I chatted with Mike Coy, a coach and mentor in sports and insurance. Mike's journey is about consistency, trust, and resilience. He highlighted the importance of sticking to a plan and trusting the process, whether coaching young athletes or mentoring new agents at Aflac. We also delved into his battle with HPV-related cancer, where a healthy lifestyle and regular health checks were crucial to his recovery. Mike's cancer battle, compounded by the stress of a recent divorce, weakened his immune system. Despite these challenges, he chose to live, focusing on his desire to see his grandchildren grow up and walk his daughter down the aisle. His experience underscored the importance of regular health screenings, stress management, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Key Takeaways:   Stress can severely impact health. Finding ways to manage and reduce stress is crucial for overall well-being.   Having a purpose and staying resilient in the face of challenges can drive recovery and personal growth.   Adopting healthy habits, such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and avoiding harmful substances, is vital.   Resources:   Mike Coy is a seasoned coach and mentor with extensive experience in both sports and the insurance industry. He has coached baseball and led training and recruiting efforts at Aflac. Mike is not only known for his professional achievements but also for his resilience in the face of personal challenges   Website https://ichoselive.com/    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/IChoseLive/    mikecoyspeaks.com/gift     __________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.   Nate Palmer's Website: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/    "The Million Dollar Body Method" by Nate Palmer: http://getnatesbook.com   Lean Energy Stack: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/pages/lean   @_milliondollarbody (IG) https://www.instagram.com/_milliondollarbody
