Nicky and Eric do their best to imitate a highly trained assassin with pickup lines in an episode all about Hitman: Blood Money. Hitman: Blood Money is a stealth game developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive. It was released in May 2006 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Xbox 360. The story follows cloned assassin Agent 47's efforts to bring down the Franchise, a rival contract killing organization that is threatening his employers.Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?)  BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap!

Episode Overview In this another powerful guest episode, John Kitchens takes the hot seat for a deep dive into the real roadblocks holding agents back from real success. This conversation unpacks the journey from overwhelmed producer to intentional CEO — and why most agents stay stuck far longer than they should. John opens up about his early days in real estate, the tough lessons learned through market crashes, building and scaling brokerages, and how escaping "hero mode" transformed everything. He breaks down the exact mindset shifts, business models, and strategic frameworks agents must adopt if they want real freedom — not just another job disguised as a business. From hiring mistakes and bottlenecks to leadership identity and the future of AI-driven consumer behavior, this episode is a blueprint for any agent ready to scale with clarity, systems, and confidence. This is the episode that will challenge how you think — and change how you run your business. What You'll Learn in This Episode John's Real Estate Origin Story How a chance introduction to Jay Kinder changed the trajectory of his life What he learned from operating in both small-town and mega-market environments Why tough markets (like 2007–2011) built the muscle that made long-term success possible The Agent-to-CEO Shift The mindset move from salesperson → business owner Why clarity, forecasting, and financial visibility matter more than "hustle" Understanding your "freedom number" and the Perfect Day framework The Biggest Roadblocks Agents Face How skipping steps creates collapse later Why most agents actually have a talent problem, not a lead problem Understanding the Theory of Constraints and using bottlenecks to guide growth Building a Business That Scales How proven systems (not heroics) remove you from production Why agents should leverage VAs, AI, and the global workforce What "unique ability" means — and how it decides who you should hire next Team Building Mistakes Most Leaders Make Hiring out of pain instead of strategy Jumping too fast without a clear role or process How to time your first and second key hires Behind the Move to eXp Realty The breakfast that changed everything — sitting across from Glenn Sanford How John, Jay Kinder, and Al Stasek hit their 10-year vision in 18 months Why eXp's platform, flexibility, and long-term sustainability matter The Future of Real Estate Why agents must become knowledge-based experts, not order-takers How AI will change consumer behavior — and what pros must do now Why adaptability, trust, and content leadership will dominate the next 5 years Resources & Mentions CoachKitchens.ai — AI-powered real estate business systems John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach The Goal by Eli Goldratt — Theory of Constraints Who Moved My Cheese? — Adaptability mindset The Perfect Day exercise by Frank Kern Final Takeaway You can't scale chaos. If you want real freedom — financial and lifestyle — you must think, act, and decide like a CEO. That means knowing your numbers, identifying your constraints, and building a business that uncovers opportunities instead of chasing transactions.

AI agents can already write code, build websites, and manage workflows ... but they still can't pay for anything on their own. That bottleneck is about to disappear.In this episode of TechFirst with John Koetsier, we sit down with Jim Nguyen, former PayPal exec and cofounder/CEO of InFlow, a new AI-native payments platform launching from stealth. InFlow wants to give AI agents the ability to onboard, pay, and get paid inside the flow of work, without redirects, forms, or a human typing in credit card numbers.We talk about: • Why payments — not intelligence — are the missing link for AI agents • How agents become a new kind of customer • What guardrails and policies keep agents from spending all your money • Why enterprises will need HR for agents, budgets for agents, and compliance systems for agents • The future of agent marketplaces, headless ecommerce, and machine-speed commerce • How InFlow plans to become the PayPal of agentic systemsIf AI agents eventually hire, fire, transact, and manage entire workflows, someone has to give them wallets. This episode explores who does it, how it works, and what it means for the economy.

随着 ChatGPT、DeepSeek 等 AI 助手成为新的流量入口，我们的购物、搜索与决策方式正在被快速改写：ChatGPT 周活跃突破 8 亿，每日处理 10 亿+查询；近 50% 的消费者已经习惯用 AI 做购物前调研；40% 的购买决策受到 AI 推荐影响。流量入口的变迁意味着营销逻辑的重构：当 SEO（Search Engine Optimization，搜索引擎优化）逐渐演变为 GEO（Generative Engine Optimization，生成式引擎优化），如何让产品被 AI 看见，被推荐和被信任。当 AI 搜索替代传统搜索引擎，商家的增长逻辑将如何重写？ 本期我们邀请到 Deepblumen 联合创始人 Joy，一起从 AI 营销一线观察中国与海外 AI 商业生态的差异，拆解 GEO 的底层逻辑、聊聊未来电商的商业闭环如何在 AI Agents 中重建。 本期人物 Joy，Deeplumen 联合创始人 Yaxian，「科技早知道」主播 主要话题 [03:08] Deepblumen 做什么：AI 原生营销的第一原则 我们做的不是 AIGC，而是让品牌和用户在 AI 生态里更高效连接 - Deepblumen 的核心是 AI 搜索可见性（AI Visibility）。 - AI 搜索让品牌曝光从靠链接变成靠语义理解。 - 不只 Deepseek，小红书等也加入了 AI 搜索战场。 [08:07] SEO/SEM 的过去：为什么我们需要新的 GEO？ SEM 解决速度，SEO 解决长线资产，但 AI 时代它们都不够用了 - SEM：通过付费快速买量、测试人群；SEO：靠内容质量与网站权重换取免费流量。 - AI 时代用户不再点击十个链接，而是大模型总结答案。 - 品牌必须从「为搜索引擎」写转向 「为大模型写」。 [13:45] GEO 是什么？AI 时代的新 SEO GEO 的核心就是——当用户问问题时，让模型想到你。 - GEO = Generative Engine Optimization，让品牌被纳入模型回答，而不是网页结果列表。 - 大模型重视语义结构、真实数据、专家引用。 - 做好 SEO 依然是做 GEO 的前提 [28:00] OpenAI Shop Card：AI 正在重建电商闭环 用户未来不需要跳 10 个页面，一个答案和一个购买按钮就够了。 - ChatGPT 正把 「搜索 + 比价 + 决策 + 下单」整合到一条链。 - 对品牌意味着：电商入口会从平台迁移到 AI 助手。 - AI 电商比传统平台更「去中间化」。 [33:01] 为什么 Deepblumen 要出海？中美 AI 搜索生态有何不一样？ 海外生态更开放，工具链更完整，资本更看好这一赛道。 - OpenAI 商业化节奏快，可接入生态更丰富。 - 像 Profound 这样的第三方监测工具成熟。 - 海外 Saas 与服务体系更配合品牌自建增长体系。 - 中国生态偏向自闭环（抖音、阿里），路径不同。 [51:53] GEO 会不会误导用户？品牌能操纵 AI 搜索吗？ 我们不做虚假信息，AI 搜索也无法容纳虚假——因为语义理解会暴露它。 - GEO 不能制造虚假内容，否则无法通过模型语义筛选。 - 大模型相比 SEO 时代更能识别「垃圾内容」。 - 品牌要求的第一原则是信息必须准确。 - AI 搜索推荐机制依然基于真实需求与内容质量。 [1:00:29] 最终趋势：AI Agent 才是电商终局 未来不是你下单，而是你的 AI Agent 替你下单。 - AI Agent 将读取需求 → 比价 → 决策 → 直接购买。 - 品牌内容必须结构化，以便 Agent 能抓取、比对、调用。 - GEO 是 Agent 时代的基础建设。 - 现在准备，决定品牌能否在未来被自动选中。

Send us a textA wedding coordinator turned realtor who almost quit ends up selling 30+ homes her first year and doubling down on the one tactic most agents avoid: telling the truth. Meet Melissa Royale, a San Antonio agent who built a resilient business on systems, mentorship, and real conversations about budget, tradeoffs, and timing.We dig into the inflection points that changed everything: splitting from family partners, leaving a bad fit, and finding a mentor who replaced guesswork with accountability. Melissa breaks down the exact toolkit that saved her sanity—Google Calendar time blocks, Tasks for daily execution, a CRM that keeps seven-month leads warm, and a live checklist that flags deadlines in red. The result is a calm brain and a steady pipeline, even with multiple pendings in a tight, incentive-heavy market.If you're wrestling with affordability, builder concessions, or the post-NAR settlement noise, this conversation offers spine and strategy. Melissa explains how to write offers that win, why she negotiates compensation inside the contract, and when she refuses listings that won't sell. She sets expectations with buyers early—choose your compromise: location, size, age, or upgrades—and warns short-term owners about competing with builders on resale. For new agents, her advice is direct: know your personality, pick the right environment, and get organized fast. For buyers, it's simple: start where you are, build equity, and let your next home fund itself.Real estate doesn't reward perfect conditions. It rewards clarity, consistency, and courage. Tap play to learn how Melissa turned hard lessons into a durable playbook you can use today.

Episode Overview In this special guest appearance on the Career Coaching Secrets Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with host Kevin to unpack his 20-year journey from defaulting into real estate… to leading one of the most recognized residential real estate coaching platforms in North America. John shares how growing up in a coach's home shaped his belief that "great coaches collapse time, see around corners, and become the catalyst for transformation." This episode pulls back the curtain on what it truly takes to coach top producers, scale a real estate business, escape production, and step into the CEO role. It's raw, transparent, and loaded with practical wisdom for coaches, entrepreneurs, and real estate leaders. Whether you're building a business, growing a team, or navigating your own coaching journey, this conversation gives you the frameworks, principles, and mindset to operate at a higher level. Key Topics Covered John's Origin Story & Coaching DNA Growing up in a coach's household and learning early how environment shapes beliefs Why every transformation in life can be traced back to a great coach His unexpected entry into real estate in 2004 and scaling a team in a tough market Building a dominant Oklahoma team that captured 20%+ market share From Agent to CEO — The Evolution of a Coaching Business The messy reality of walking into a "successful" business with zero systems Why sales and marketing will get you to $1M… but systems and structure get you to the next million How the 2007–2009 market crash forced John into the trenches and sharpened his leadership The creation of a high-level mastermind for teams doing $1M+ GCI The Three Pillars of Escaping Production John breaks down the foundational elements required to move from agent → CEO: 1. Strategy (Theory of Constraints) Understanding the real problem, identifying bottlenecks, and applying force where it matters. "Strategy is solving the right problem that moves you closer to your goals." 2. Value Proposition Why you must be the painkiller—not the vitamin. "In the absence of value, people always question price." 3. Knowing the Math How real estate agents get stuck because they don't understand financials, margins, or cost of sales. "You cannot grow what you cannot measure. Numbers scream." The Reality of Coaching Engagements Why coaching is an investment, not an expense Why clients eventually cancel—and why coaches must not take it personally The difference between coaching and training What it takes to coach the whole person, not just the business Pricing, Models & the Future of Coaching Why John believes pricing must reflect confidence + ROI The danger of pricing too low or too high How John uses percentage-of-revenue coaching for deeper partnership Why the next evolution of coaching blends human leadership with AI-powered thinking partnerships The Biggest Challenges Coaches and Agents Face Today Overwhelm from AI, noise, and uncertain markets Lack of clarity leading to procrastination Why many entrepreneurs are "frozen" instead of fighting or fleeing "Procrastination is usually the result of a lack of clarity." Resources & Mentions Who Moved My Cheese? – Spencer Johnson Simple Numbers – Greg Crabtree Choose Your Enemies Wisely – Patrick Bet-David The Motive – Patrick Lencioni CoachKitchens.ai – AI-powered coaching framework John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway Coaching isn't about tactics—it's about transformation. Your business can't outgrow you. Your leadership is the ceiling. And clarity will always beat hustle.

Key TakeawaysCommunity involvement: Mary is a member of the programming committee board this year and will be attending the AI Agent & Copilot Summit, taking place from March 17th to 19th in San Diego, California. Working in the real estate industry, Mary acknowledges that, like individuals in all industries, there's a lot of AI transformations happening right now. "Being involved in this broader community is really exciting and energizing," she says.Summit expectations: She reports momentum as it gets closer to the event, like the number of responses to the call for speakers. "There's a big focus on real people figuring out and solving real problems with agents and Copilot," she notes. "Attendees can really expect a mix of hands-on learning and bigger picture conversations." Members of the community are curious, collaborative, and excited to share, so there's a lot for attendees to look forward to.Clear takeaways and diverse perspectives: Whether you're coming from a business team or a technical team, there's something that everyone can walk away with and implement, providing a "clarity of takeaways." The AI Agent & Copilot Summit also provides a "diversity of perspectives," which Mary considers to be very important. "I think we're looking for a mix of developers, business leaders, consultants, power users, and people who are just getting started to really get that diversity of thought and perspective."Overcoming challenges: One of the biggest challenges right now, Mary suggests, is the pressure to figure out how to adopt AI. Many leaders are looking to bridge the gaps between where to start, learning, and taking action. It's not just about teaching the tools or determining how to prompt better. "It's about shifting habits and thinking and mindsets," Mary says. "It's change management and how we make AI feel more approachable." Early adopters are able to pass on their experiences and accelerate the learning curve for attendees. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Seth Cohen, President of Cedar, is addressing the affordability of health care by shifting the emphasis from billing functionality to patient financial navigation by using technology to connect patients to underutilized financial resources. The Cedar Cover platform is designed to identify and enroll eligible uninsured or underinsured patients into Medicaid, ACA, available pharmaceutical copay subsidies, and untapped Health Savings Accounts, which can be used retrospectively to cover previous medical and ongoing bills, benefiting the patient and providers. An AI agent handles patient service calls to help patients navigate the challenges of connecting to these resources and identifying new coverage options in these uncertain times. Seth explains, "Cedar is the largest independent solution focused entirely on the patient financial experience in healthcare. As you probably know, in the revenue cycle space, there are lots of vendors out there selling solutions up and down the revenue cycle, mostly with an emphasis on insurance reimbursement. We are the only one that we're aware of that is really driving at scale a better patient experience, so fully focused there. And so what that means is we are the entity responsible for sending bills to patients and helping those patients navigate their financial obligations to large hospitals, health systems, and large physician groups." "But that word advocacy, I think, is very relevant now because what we've discovered and a huge, huge shift over the last decade is that most patients cannot afford the bills they're receiving. We're really in an affordability crisis. And so it's less about sending a bill with good billing functionality. It's more about helping the patient navigate how to manage that bill. And so there is a lot of advocacy in that."  #Cedar #FinancialSupport #MedicalBills cedar.com Listen to the podcast here

Mark Kelly and other former military and intelligence community members now in Congress posted a video calling on active service members to refuse illegal orders. This happened while the Trump administration contines to strike alleged “drug boats” in the Caribbean and the Pacific. At the same time, a former Afghan child soldier shot two members of the West Virginia National Guard at a metro station in Washington DC. The shooter had been part of a “Zero Unit”, an Afghan death squad, that was backed by the Central Intelligence Agency. These incidents show the tension building between military-civilian-intelligence agency relations. In our latest, we dive deep into the conflict between Senator Mark Kelly and the Trump administration. We also discuss Hegseth's war on the Pentagon and how war crimes against people off the coasts of Venezuela and Colombia. And then we get into the background of the DC shooter and the blowback created by CIA backed militias in Afghanistan. Please listen in to this important discussion about U.S. military-civilian relations. -----------------------------------------

In the Name of the Children An FBI Agent's Relentless Pursuit of the Nation's Worst Predators"The voice that narrates In the Name of the Children: An F.B.I. Agent's Relentless Pursuit of the Nation's Worst Predators, which Rinek wrote with the journalist Marilee Strong, sounds warm and humane, qualities missing from much crime writing. Their book is a professional job, filled with illuminating details about the day-to-day operations of the bureau."—New York Times Book Review FBI Special Agent Jeff Rinek had a gift for getting child predators to confess. All he had to do was share a piece of his soul . . .In the Name of the Children gives an unflinching look at what it's like to fight a never-ending battle against an enemy far more insidious than terrorists: the predators, lurking amongst us, who seek to harm our children.During his 30-year career with the FBI, Jeff Rinek worked hundreds of investigations involving crimes against children: from stranger abduction to serial homicide to ritualized sexual abuse. Those who do this kind of work are required to plumb the depths of human depravity, to see things no one should ever have to see—and once seen can never forget. There is no more important—or more brutal—job in law enforcement, and few have been more successful than Rinek at solving these sort of cases.Most famously, Rinek got Cary Stayner to confess to all four of the killings known as the Yosemite Park Murders, an accomplishment made more extraordinary by the fact that the FBI nearly pinned the crimes on the wrong suspects. Rinek's recounting of the confession and what he learned about Stayner provides perhaps the most revelatory look ever inside the psyche of a serial killer and a privileged glimpse into the art of interrogation.In the Name of the Children takes readers into the trenches of real-time investigations where every second counts and any wrong decision or overlooked fact can have tragic repercussions. Rinek offers an insider's perspective of the actual case agents and street detectives who are the boots on the ground in this war at home. By placing us inside the heart and mind of a rigorously honest and remarkably self-reflective investigator, we will see with our own eyes what it takes—and what it costs—to try to keep our children safe and to bring to justice those who prey on society's most vulnerable victims.With each chapter dedicated to a real case he worked, In the Name of the Children also explores the evolution of Rinek as a Special Agent—whose unorthodox, empathy-based approach to interviewing suspects made him extraordinarily successful in obtaining confessions—and the toll it took to have such intimate contact with child molesters and murderers. Beyond exploring the devastating impact of these unthinkable crimes on the victims and their families, this book offers an unprecedented look at how investigators and their loved ones cope while living in the specter of so much suffering.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Welcome back to Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, where reality, logic, and actual numbers take a back seat to Cowboys optimism and ESPN's interpretive math.In today's episode, Norm dives head-first into the financial fever dream that is the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming offseason—specifically how they plan to keep newly beloved star wide receiver George Pickens, who has played so well that Jerry Jones is already drooling enough to short-circuit a microphone.But wait—there's more:➡️ ESPN claims you can be both the underdog and the favorite in the same football game.➡️ A college playoff graphic boasts 108% probability, suggesting someone at ESPN is using wishful thinking instead of a calculator.➡️ Meanwhile, the Cowboys salary cap situation looks like someone tried to pay their rent, car payment, and a yacht out of a checking account with $47 in it. If you love football, chaos, questionable math, or just enjoy watching reality slowly unravel—this episode is for you. Chapters:0:00 Good Morning, It's Time to Panic About the Salary Cap0:30 Mary Reads the Ad That Pays the Bills Jerry Jones Can't1:34 Meet George Pickens: Talented, Difficult, Worth the Drama2:19 The Steelers Said ‘Good Luck' and Dallas Said ‘We'll Fix Him'3:13 Pickens vs. Lamb?
