In this episode, AJ breaks down a quietly seismic shift: tech professionals using ChatGPT more than Google. What does that mean for how we find information, make decisions, and structure workflows? AJ shares why the implications go far beyond ad revenue — this is about trust, utility, and attention.He then pivots to a bigger theme: alignment. Not in the fluffy, buzzword sense — but in the real, operational sense. Too many teams are building systems, content, and playbooks around segmented, disconnected trends. AJ calls out the risk of chasing shiny objects without a foundation rooted in core truths: current industry behaviors, buyer patterns, and shared language.This is your reminder: don't just optimize for today. Align for what's actually happening, and what's coming.

To Align with your Divine within is to Align with your humanity. Essence of our humanity is under attack- not by demons, aliens, or Artificial Intelligence  per se, but by self appointed self anointed global leaders who are hellbent on destroying our spirit of humanity. It was my experience as detailed in ACCESS DENIED For Reasons of National Security that these globalist perpeTraitors follow a linear DARPA generated plan. They believe all creation, our planet included, is flawed in its divine design, just as they believe our bodies need their 78+ vaccines to fix ‘genetic flaws'. These dark perpeTraitors feel justified in ‘saving' our planet from their belief the sun is destroying it. DARPA's conclusion inspires believers to play god by cross breeding genetically altered humanity with AI while also actively working to block our sun. The audacity of these power mongers is inconceivable!As my daughter Kelly observed, “Sun is the SOULar battery of all existence on earth.”We need sunlight for optimum mental health and for grounding into our true nature. Our nature is our humanity- who we are intended to be and how life is intended to be lived.To disrupt our essence of humanity, mind control is being used to block our ability to Align with our Divine within, which in turn inhibits access to soul expression, strength of spirit, and our innate energy source of infinite power of love. Without free thought, there is no free will soul expression. No ability to remember who we are and why we are here. No capacity for connecting with each other on energetic, loving levels of compassion, understanding, and unity. United we stand against these perpeTraitors of humanity who mask themselves as gods to lord over our existence.Equally as alarming as discussed by George Bush Sr. at Bohemian Grove in 1985 is that if their New World Order agenda fails, then those playing god will destroy our planet. Wouldn't blocking the sun do that anyway? Semantics aside, the end game of these dark negative energy force perpeTraitors is our demise. When we Align with our Divine within, we have wisdom. Wisdom is our saving grace to outthink criminal minds and AI's linear plan every time.  Preservation of free thought is key. Knowledge is our defense against their mind control.Traumatic fear is the basis of all mind control as puppetmasters manipulate humanity's brain defense mechanism against incomprehensible trauma to their advantage. It was found through Hitler/Himmler research that there is no trauma more horrific on the human mind than sexual abuse of a child prior to age 5 while the brain is still forming. Similarly satanic ritual abuse has the same effect of shutting down neuron pathways of conscious thought, leaving the subconscious wide open to being led, manipulated, and programmed to drive future thoughts.Many children, including myself, have experienced trauma beyond comprehension to render us compliant and malleable for controllers' vision of how life should be lived based on their own fears that the world is ending. Our humanity is under attack because our strength of spirit is perpeTraitors' greatest fear. Many children, me included, witnessed other children being sacrificed at their alter of justification. Many victims of traumatic mind control died, which is also in keeping with depopulation agenda to reduce humanity's numbers to a much more manageable size. Abusers have no remorse in their justifications. Yet children who witness and experience the demise of others are left with the same traumatic dilemma that most military veterans experience:Why did I survive when others didn't?Read the full article on Cathy's website Here!

A retailer in Bangkok was staring down a cash crunch after COVID. He was ready to sign for a loan, convinced it was his only option.Instead, we dug into his numbers and found $30,000 in unsold inventory gathering dust and $8,000 in overpayments to suppliers. That cash was enough to stabilize his business; no debt was needed. The money was there; he just couldn't see it.Download The Profit Gap for free at TheProfitBootCamp.com to see 5 hidden reasons family businesses work hard but still fall short of profit.Find hidden profit before you borrowWhen cash flow gets tight, panic sets in. Your mind races, layoffs, loans, maybe even shutting down. But fear isn't a strategy. The truth is, your business is probably sitting on hidden profit, even in tough times. You just need to find it.Start with a zero-based budget. That means you begin each budget line at zero, not last year's number, and build it up based on what's actually needed. Each team member justifies every expense from scratch. No assumptions. No carryovers. Just what drives results. Look at your expenses, inventory, and contracts. What's wasting money?Maybe it's unused subscriptions, overstocked supplies, or a vendor charging too much. One client found $500 a month in duplicate software licenses. Canceling them took one email and saved $6,000 a year.Cut smart, not deepDon't just cut costs mindlessly; focus on waste, not muscle. Keep what drives value, like your best staff or marketing, that works. I've seen owners slash their top salespeople in a panic, only to tank revenue. Instead, realign spending to what moves profit.For example, shift the budget from low-margin products to high-margin ones. One business I worked with dropped a product line that was barely breaking even. That freed up $20,000 for ads, bringing in $100,000 in new sales.Small wins create momentum. Even saving $1,000 can shift your mindset from panic to possibility. Try this: call your top five vendors this week. Ask for a 10% discount or better payment terms. Most will say no, but some will say yes to keep your business.A client of mine negotiated $5,000 off his annual shipping costs in one 15-minute call. That's cash you can use to grow, not just survive.Discipline is your secret weaponDiscipline beats loans every time. Borrowing might feel like a lifeline, but it's a weight around your neck if you don't fix the root problems. A logistics firm I worked with was desperate for a loan. Instead, we audited their spending and found $8,600 in waste, unused equipment leases, and overpaid utilities. That cash funded a marketing push that brought in new clients without debt. They weren't out of options; they just needed clarity.Here's one last story. That same logistics firm thought they were done. But that $8,600 audit changed everything. They used the savings to relaunch ads, landing three new contracts monthly. The owner told me, “I thought we were stuck. Turns out, we just needed to look closer.” What's hiding in your business?You've now faced the five hard truths holding your business back.

In this episode of The Digital Marketing Podcast, Daniel dives into the world of agile marketing, exploring how a new methodology is helping marketers launch strategic, high-impact campaigns at pace, without compromising on quality. Joined by Peter Abraham (former Econsultancy leader and founder of Crank), alongside Katherine Torrance and Claire Pankhurst, the creators of Supercharged Marketing Sprints, Daniel unpacks a new approach to growth marketing that blends the speed of agile with the strategic rigour marketing has been missing. The team explain how their 5-day sprint framework works in practice - coaching marketing teams to develop and launch live, multichannel campaigns in just a week. Unlike traditional brainstorming workshops that leave great ideas gathering dust, this sprint ends with a live campaign in market, backed by real data and customer insight. Together, they explore how this approach helps businesses: Build high-performing campaigns under intense time constraints Cut through campaign chaos and internal delays Deliver strategic focus without sacrificing speed Align stakeholders quickly around a shared goal Create minimum viable campaigns (MVCs) that actually launch More than just a framework, this is a practical, tested process grounded in real-world experience. Peter shares his initial scepticism, and eventual surprise, at seeing these sprints succeed where other methods stall. Catherine and Claire outline how their structure gives marketing teams space for deep thinking and rapid deployment. They also share how AI tools (like headline generation and campaign planning assistants) are used to speed up the creative process, while still relying on human judgement and strategic thinking. This episode is packed with lessons for marketers frustrated by slow timelines, campaign bottlenecks, and chaotic execution cycles. Daniel and his guests lay out how to shift away from “tactics-first” thinking and instead build campaigns rooted in buyer insight, stakeholder alignment, and clear, testable outcomes. Key Takeaways: Why agile principles need evolution for modern marketing How 5-day sprints help teams go from messy ideas to market-ready campaigns The crucial role of stakeholder alignment and constrained planning How AI can complement (not replace) creative strategy How to build minimum viable campaigns with maximum impact Why fast isn't enough—campaigns must be focused and aligned Whether you're a CMO looking for a faster way to deliver results, or a team lead trying to cut through the clutter, this episode offers an inspiring look at what marketing agility really looks like in action.

What do you do when a recruit suddenly brings up a non-compete, emotional loyalty, or fear around leaving their current role? This is one of the trickiest moments in recruiting, and how you handle it will either build trust or break it. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through the posture, language, and mindset shifts that will help you navigate sensitive transitions with professionalism and integrity. This isn't about pushing people over the line, it's about becoming the kind of leader people feel safe following. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most leaders freeze when a recruit mentions a non-compete or emotional hesitation. [01:00] Acknowledge the Weight – Before anything else, validate what they're feeling. Don't dismiss it. [01:30] Lead With Empathy – A simple phrase: “Let's slow down and walk through this the right way.” [02:00] Stay in Your Lane – Don't give legal advice. Offer to connect them with a trusted attorney. [02:30] The Professional Position – Show maturity by prioritizing their well-being over your urgency. [03:30] Emotional Loyalty Is Real – Sometimes it's not legal, it's personal. Help them reframe it without shame. [04:00] Long-Term Perspective – Ask: “Ten years from now, what do you want to be proud of?” [05:00] Go Slow to Go Deep – Allow them the time they need. No pressure. Just partnership. [05:30] Build the Right Reputation – Integrity attracts. Your brand is built in moments like this. Key Takeaways Validate Their Fear – Just because you think it's minor doesn't mean it doesn't feel major to them. Offer Support, Not Solutions – Be a guide, not a legal expert. Connect them to the right help. Honor Their Loyalty – Don't fight it. Use it as a mirror of their values and a reason to lead them well. Ask Bigger Questions – Help them think long-term. Align the next move with their vision, not their fear. Integrity Is Your Advantage – Leaders who slow down and protect the recruit build brands that attract. You don't need to push to win. You just need to walk with people in the moments that matter. Handle transitions with care, and you won't just close more recruits, you'll become a leader worth following.

Ever wonder why some content creators consistently drive sales while others struggle despite massive followings? The secret lies in content alignment—a strategy few master but anyone can learn.Creating content that doesn't align with your products is like building a highway that leads nowhere. You might attract traffic, but your visitors won't reach their destination—becoming your customers. In this episode, I break down the exact framework for crafting content that naturally guides your audience toward your offerings.We begin with the foundation: truly understanding both your product's transformation (not just features) and your ideal customer's needs. I explain how to articulate your unique value proposition in ways that resonate with your audience and distinguish you from competitors. Next, we explore how to define content goals tied to specific stages of the customer journey—awareness, education, and conversion—ensuring every piece of content serves a strategic purpose.Content pillars provide the structure for your strategy, and I demonstrate how to identify 3-5 key themes that both interest your audience and connect directly to your solutions. Platform-specific calls to action are crucial; what works on Instagram differs dramatically from effective CTAs on podcasts or blogs. I share examples of each to help you maximize conversions across all your channels.The content repurposing strategy I outline will transform how you view content creation, showing you how to create integrated ecosystems rather than isolated posts. Finally, I emphasize the importance of data analysis in refining your approach over time, ensuring continuous improvement in both engagement and sales.Ready to stop creating content that entertains but doesn't convert?

Discussion Questions:Sermon Overview Align your life with the real Jesus.#1: Align your trust with the astonishing power of Jesus (vv. 37-43a)#2: Align your priorities with the perplexing priority of Jesus (vv. 43b-45)#3: Align your relationships with the unconventional people of Jesus. (vv. 46-50)Digging Deeper    Read Luke 9:37-501. What circumstances make it challenging for you to trust in Jesus? (e.g., work, family, parenting, health, future, money, etc).2. What would it look like to deeply trust in Jesus' astonishing power for that circumstance? As a group, consider if there are passages that relate.3. Since exploring or following Jesus, what has surprised you about who he is?4. Jesus was compassionate with the needs in front of him without losing sight of his primary mission to save sinners through his death and resurrection. What needs are in the world around you that God may be calling you to address?5. The priority of Jesus' life was to go to the cross and die. What priority does the gospel of Jesus have in your life? How does it show up?6. Are there other things in your life that you find can, at times, replace the gospel of Jesus as your first priority? Please share.7. How can we help one another guard against this?8. The disciples were seeking greatness by comparing themselves to one another. Jesus offers greatness by means of a relationship with him. Why is the latter avenue for greatness far better?9. True greatness involves humble service to all out of obedience to Jesus. Does this characterize your life? If so, how? If not, what would it look like to grow?10. The disciples were hesitant about other people joining their tribe (see vv. 49-50).

Getting more sales in your business does not have to be complicated. Three things have to be aligned in order to get those sales.So the first thing is having the right audience and really understanding who you are speaking and marketing to. Understanding your audience's needs, wants, desires, pain points, the things that they're striving for, and having a really clear understanding of who they are, will really allow you to speak to them in a way that they understand and connect with you.That leads to the second thing, which is your messaging, which has to be aligned as well. Once you deeply understand your audience, it's really about connecting with them using the words that they use, talking about the things that matter to them, talking about the things that they're excited about and conveying your understanding and empathy for them. Having that message aligned is super important!First is having the right audience and really understanding them. Second is aligning your messaging. The third thing is: your offer! Your offer should be a solution that solves your audience's problem. Make sure that it your offer is a solution that really speaks to your audience.Listen to your audience really get to understand who they are, speak to them in a way that they understand and then create your offers around that. Align these three things and you will have resultsYou need to make more offers!Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt

Send me a Text Message!In this deep, soul-level transmission, Mike unpacks one of the most important energetic principles in the creation process: coherence. He shares how most people live in a state of disconnection — thinking one thing, feeling another, and unknowingly sabotaging what they're trying to create.Through personal stories, energetic wisdom, and practical practices, Mike walks listeners through what coherence really is, how to access it, and why it's the missing link between survival and freedom.If you've ever felt like your results don't match your desires, or that you're putting in effort but getting mixed signals back from life — this episode breaks it all open.Key TakeawaysMost People Are Externally Aware We're trained to rearrange the outer world while avoiding what's happening inside.True Power Begins When You Go Inward The creative force lives in your inner world — not your schedule, status, or surroundings.Coherence Is Mind-Body Alignment Manifestation happens when your thoughts and your emotions are sending the same signal.Incoherence Creates Static When your mind says yes but your body says no, your energy is split — and so are your results.Self-Mastery Unlocks Personal Power When you harmonize your beliefs with the frequency in your body, life begins to reflect your true desires.Notable Quotes“If my mind tells me I can, but my body tells me I can't, then I'm not in coherence.”“Your beliefs and your thoughts are the signal — the prayer — and your emotions are the magnet.”“People feel you before you even say a word.”“Emotion is energy in motion.

I once sat down with a furious business owner. “My team's useless,” he said. “They never deliver.” I asked him two simple questions: “Who hired them? Who sets their goals?”He went quiet. He admitted he hadn't run a proper meeting in months, and his priorities changed weekly. His team wasn't failing; they were confused.Once he got clear and consistent, everything shifted. Execution improved, morale spiked, and profit followed. The problem wasn't his team; it was his leadership.Download The Profit Gap for free at TheProfitBootCamp.com to see 5 hidden reasons family businesses work hard but still fall short of profit.It starts with youWhen the same issues keep popping up: missed deadlines, low margins, and sloppy execution, it's easy to blame your team or the market. But nine times out of ten, those problems point to your systems, not your people. If your business feels stuck in a loop, you haven't built the structure to break free. Leadership isn't about charisma or barking orders. It's about clarity and follow-through.Start by auditing yourself. Are your priorities clear to your team? Do you track progress, or just hope things get done?I've seen owners delegate tasks and then forget about them, leaving their teams guessing. That's not leadership. That's abdication. One client delegated a pricing review but never checked in. Six months later, nothing had changed, and they'd lost $50,000 in potential profit. Set clear goals, assign owners, and follow up. It's not sexy, but it works.Fix your meetings, fix your profitHere's a game-changer: fix your meetings. Most business meetings are a mess, with endless venting or no focus. Better meetings lead to better profit. Try this: run one weekly meeting with a tight agenda. Pick one metric, like cash flow, gross margin, or overdue invoices, and identify three actions to move them.One client's meetings were just complaint sessions. We set a new rule: every meeting ends with three clear next steps. Four weeks later, the execution was sharper, and he told me, “We didn't need more staff, just a real plan.” Focused action works.Build momentum with better habitsYou don't need a new team, just better habits. Your people are probably capable, but they need direction. A weekly rhythm, like Monday priorities, Wednesday short check-ins, and Friday results, builds momentum fast. It's not about working harder; it's about working smarter. And start writing down what works. That's your playbook for scaling.One owner I know documented his best sales process. It took an hour, but it cut training time for new hires and boosted close rates by 10%. That's leadership in action.You're leading with clarity now, but what if cash is still tight? In our final episode, we'll tackle how to turn things around when money's low and pressure's high.

You ever sit there thinking, “I know what I need to do... so why the heck am I not doing it?”You know—drink the water, write the email, stop the self-sabotage, hug a puppy, hit the gym. It's not that you don't know… it's that you feel like a freakin' war is going on inside you.That exact inner conflict?It's what my guest Britt Frank helps people decode and conquer.Britt's a licensed neuropsychotherapist, trauma specialist, educator, and author of the must-read book Align Your Mind. She's been featured on The Doctors, NPR, Fast Company, and Psychology Today, and y'all—her brain is next level. But what I love most is how she breaks heavy stuff down in a super clear, practical, no-BS kinda way. In this convo on the Happy Hustle Podcast, we get into it. The truth about internal resistance. Why high performers crash hard when they try to rest. And how to stop fighting yourself so you can finally start flowing in alignment.Here's the thing: just because you're a high-level hustler doesn't mean your brain is on board with all the good stuff you're trying to do. Britt explains this through what she calls “parts work.” Basically, you've got different internal parts—some want to grow, others want to hide under the covers. One wants to crush your goals, one wants to eat chips and scroll for hours. The key? They're all trying to help in their own way. You just have to learn how to lead the team instead of being dragged around by the chaos.Britt hit me with this line and it stuck: “Alignment is about driving the team of emotions rather than being run over by them.” Boom.And get this—if you've ever felt guilt for trying to relax after grinding, this'll land. Imagine you're driving a stick shift. You can't go from 90 MPH in 5th gear straight to 20 MPH in 1st gear. You'll blow your engine. And that's what a lot of entrepreneurs are doing. We're go-go-go, building, scaling, moving at lightning speed. And then we try to switch into family mode or chill mode instantly. Britt's point? You have to downshift. You need intentional transitions to protect your nervous system. Stretch. Walk. Breathe. Shift gears slowly, not all at once.Another gold nugget: Britt talks about “micro yeses.” Sometimes we procrastinate because our goals are just too damn big. “Write a book.” “Launch a course.” “Lose 50 pounds.” Our brains go, “Nope. Too much.” But if you break it down to a single next step—open the doc, write one sentence, walk to the mailbox—you're telling your brain, “Hey, this is doable.” Small wins stack up. She also dropped this cool tool called non-dominant hand journaling. Yup—writing with your opposite hand. It feels weird, but it unlocks a different part of your brain that can surface things you didn't even know you were carrying. Perfect for when you feel stuck or unclear.If you've been battling yourself mentally, emotionally, spiritually… this episode is a reminder that you're not alone. You're not broken. Your brain's not working against you—it just needs a better team captain. That's you. You lead the parts, you align the team, and suddenly life feels a whole lot lighter.This episode's packed with practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real talk that can legit change the way you move through your day. Especially if you've been grinding non-stop and wondering why you still feel like something's missing.If you've ever procrastinated on a dream, felt guilty for resting, doubted your ability to keep going, or just wanted some tools to finally quiet the mental chaos and get aligned—this one's for you. It's the kind of convo that makes you think, feel, and take action—without the overwhelm.In this episode, we cover:The Concept of Alignment and Its ImportanceUnderstanding the Inner ConflictPractical Strategies for AlignmentThe Gear Shift Analogy for High PerformersMicro Yeses: Breaking Down GoalsCombating Inner Criticism and Self-DoubtUnderstanding Self-Criticism and DoubtThe Science of the Mind and Self-CompassionBreaking Autopilot: Non-Dominant JournalingEnergy Protection and Emotional ClarityShifting Focus: Choices Over WhyAligning Actions with ValuesWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Britt says Happy Hustlin means that my actions match my values and that they are aligned.Connect with Britthttps://www.instagram.com/brittfrankhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brittfrankmsw/Find Britt on this website: brittfrank.com Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Let's talk about maintenance calories, because I get this question super often. What the heck are they? Will I gain weight? Lose weight? Eat more? Should I be tracking them? I know this can feel confusing as hell, so I wanted to break it down in this episode! This time of year, sooo many women feel pressure to be in a cut or build phase, but…there IS another option: maintenance.Here's the thing though - you don't NEED to be dieting or trying to build muscle 24/7.

You can expect benefits like stronger workouts, better recovery, stable hormones, and awesome energy to LIVE.YOUR.LIFE.If you've been thinking maintenance means ‘stuck', I hope this episode helped unf*ck that mindset. Maintenance is fuel, freedom, and choosing long-term success over quick-fix BS.
