Podcasts about anchoring

Mary welcomes back Jeff Kinley to talk about bringing hope to our kids – through bible prophecy. Back in the 70s and 80s, the youth were clamoring for more information about Jesus’ return. It anchored us, gave us hope and caused us to look beyond the troubles and fleeting sense that all humans experience. Then what happened? Churches stopped teaching prophecy. The rapture became a comedic, scoffing byline – and with all that the sense of hope that our youth could rise above the floodwaters of a chaotic and dying world. Today we talk to Jeff about his Future Hope Student/Youth conferences. What are the goals and hopes of reaching out to our kids once again with the blessed hope? Why is it that so many told churches to stop talking about prophecy, and scaring the kids? We make the case that while sobering, “scary” should never be any reason to cut a big chunk of Scripture out of our kids’ lives – and our own. We also catch up with the Prophecy Pro’s Conferences. A thoughtful hour of hope and help.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Whoever puts the first number, the first draft, or the first design in front of the team quietly decides where everyone else ends up. This week I dig into why anchoring bias steers our estimates, redesigns, and negotiations more than we realize, and what we can do about it.Ever set out to redesign a feature and ended up with the same product wearing a fresh coat of paint?There's a good chance you got anchored before the work even started.Anchoring bias is the tendency to lean too heavily on the first piece of information we encounter when making a decision. Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman named it back in 1974, and the effect is stubborn. Their famous Wheel of Fortune study showed that even a totally random number could pull people's estimates toward it. Later research on experienced judges and real estate agents found the same pattern, even when the professionals swore the anchor hadn't influenced them at all. That denial is a big part of what makes this one so tricky.On product teams, this shows up constantly. The first draft of a PRD sets the frame every reviewer edits around. The old design becomes the gravity for the new one, and a supposed redesign quietly turns into a reskin. The first estimate in a planning meeting drags everybody else's numbers toward it.This week, on the Cognition Catalog, I walk through where anchoring comes from, why willpower and expertise barely help, and a handful of specific moves you can make to keep the first thing seen from automatically becoming the thing that wins. Give it a listen and let me know if you've caught yourself getting anchored lately.Topics:• 3:00 The Two-Week Estimate Trap• 4:45 What Is the Anchoring Effect?• 5:20 The Wheel of Fortune Experiment• 6:20 Why We Stop Adjusting Too Soon• 7:15 Even Experienced Judges Get Anchored• 8:10 The Real Estate Study• 9:00 How First Drafts Frame Everything• 9:35 Why Redesigns Turn Into Reskins• 9:55 The Status Quo Is an Anchor Nobody Chose• 10:30 Using Anchoring on Purpose• 11:25 Why Willpower Doesn't Fix It• 12:00 Five Things to Try With Your Team• 14:30 The Bottom Line—Thanks for listening!

Over the past three episodes, I had a very special guest; Kevin Ford, the former CEO of Calian. Our previous conversations trace a powerful progression from self-leadership to connecting with others. In the final episode of this series, we explore how a profound sense of purpose united by a set of core values truly anchors an organization. Our discussion moves beyond corporate clichés, as we dig into how purpose statements can resonate from the C-suite to every desk and production floor, and why stories, not slogans, are the secret to unlocking commitment and pride. Listeners will also find practical insights on transforming company values from static posters into lived behaviors, using transparency, feedback, and authentic leadership. This journey ultimately challenges every leader to reflect on the following question: Are your company's values visible in the daily experience, or just in the posters on the wall?Through the lens of firsthand leadership stories, our conversation examines the risks of focusing only on financial metrics and offers powerful reminders that true value is created when people are proud not just of their work, but of its impact. Tactics like regular storytelling, open surveys, and clear expectations set the stage for a culture where integrity, respect, and community involvement drive both performance, engagement and well-being.For leaders and teams navigating the complexity of today's business world, this episode serves as both an inspiration and a toolkit for embedding purpose and values that last.What You'll Learn- The Power of Purpose-Driven Organizations.- Developing and Communicating Core Values.- Storytelling as a Leadership Tool.- Metrics Matter: Move Beyond Just the Financials.- Balancing Performance and Values.- Navigating Personal and Organizational Values Misalignment.- The Ongoing Practice of Authentic Leadership.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) - Introduction to Part 3: The Road We Travelled with an Introduction to Purpose and Values(03:04) - Defining Purpose in Organizations(05:25) - Developing and Living a Purpose Statement(09:28) - The Tangible Benefits of Purpose-Driven Organizations(13:45) - Strategies for Building a Purpose-Driven Culture(18:36) - Defining and Living Core Values(23:06) - Ensuring Alignment Between Stated and Lived Values(27:05) - Balancing Performance Pressures with Values(35:06) - Navigating Personal vs. Organizational Value Misalignment(41:00) - Final Reflections on the Foundations of Positive LeadershipKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Purpose-Driven Organization, Core Values, Empathy, Transparency, Respect, Candor, Organizational Culture, Community Involvement, Storytelling, Company Mission, Organizational Alignment, Values Drift, Employee Motivation, Behavioral Anchors, Values-Based Leadership, Organizational Trust, Accountability, Purpose and Values Integration, Lived Values, CEO Success

In this inspiring episode, former corporate CMO turned executive performance coach Dave Callan shares how stepping away from high-profile executive roles and embracing extreme endurance challenges transformed his understanding of mindset, leadership, and personal growth. Exploring the intersection where presence meets progress, Dave discusses the courage required to navigate major career pivots, the power of stripping away external titles to build values-led identities, and why embracing discomfort is essential for long-term transformation.  From running multi-stage ultramarathons in the Amazon jungle to coaching founders through high-stakes transitions, Dave breaks down practical frameworks for shifting self-limiting beliefs, conquering procrastination, and aligning your daily actions with your future self. You'll Learn Why: Procrastination is almost always a fear-driven threat response rather than a lack of motivation or simple laziness. True courage cannot exist without the presence of fear, making moments of uncertainty your greatest opportunities for growth. Anchoring your self-worth to internal core values rather than external corporate titles gives you the resilience to successfully navigate major career transitions. Viewing life and leadership through the lens of your future self provides the objective clarity needed to make empowered, forward-facing decisions today. Whether you're a founder, CEO, small business owner, entrepreneur, startup leader or executive, these lessons will help you make smarter hiring decisions and build a stronger, more successful business.

The Meditate with Me: Embodied Heart Series: Sacred Heart Contracts — Clearing Non-Beneficial Karmic Ties & Anchoring Soul-Led Agreements Crystalline Reiki Meditation + 639 Hz MusicI'm offering The Mediate with Me (MWM): Embodied Heart Series to the public for free at this time.This series was originally created alongside the April 2025 Energy Forecast: Crossing the Threshold — Embodying Heart Wisdom, Soul Truth & Sacred Integration, during the second arc of the Heart Pathway. At that time, the work centered on allowing Heart wisdom and emotional truth to move beyond awareness and begin anchoring more fully into lived experience.Now, in August Energy Forecast 2026, we are moving through Living Re-entry — Returning to Life Without Returning to Who You Were. And this is where the connection becomes important.Living Re-entry is not simply about becoming more available to life again. It is about allowing the person you have become to participate from a different internal foundation.As interest returns, as the body becomes more willing to move toward experience, and as relationships, creativity, expression, connection, and participation begin coming closer again, the Heart becomes an important point of discernment.What actually feels true now?What feels emotionally congruent?What are you willing to participate in?What kind of relationship, commitment, expression, or experience can your current self genuinely inhabit?This is why The Embodied Heart Series is highly relevant now.This practice is infused with Crystalline Reiki and now includes 639 Hz music to support harmony, connection, and Heart-centered integration.The practices support emotional integration, Soul alignment, Heart-led discernment, and the movement from inner knowing into embodied choice—all of which become especially important as August brings us back into greater contact with life.We are not returning to who we were.We are learning how to meet life from who we have become.So I'm letting this series move freely for a while. If it calls to you, you're welcome to it.

Pastor Matt opens with a penetrating question: "Could there be a lie influencing your thoughts, attitudes, or decisions that you have never recognized as a lie?" Building on the previous week's foundation of faith, he turns the focus to what comes next in the Christian journey — transformation. Anchoring the message in Romans 12:1-2, he makes the case that God transforms our lives by renewing our minds, and that lasting change doesn't begin with trying harder, but with thinking differently. Salvation, he reminds us, happens in a moment, but transformation happens over a lifetime. Pastor Matt draws a sharp contrast between two forces described in Romans 12:2 — being conformed by the world, which presses in on us from the outside in, and being transformed by God, who works from the inside out. He warns that our minds are always being shaped, and that every day we are being discipled — either by the world or by the Word. The world, he explains, disciples us to follow our feelings and fit into culture, while the Word disciples us to follow Jesus and be transformed by His truth. Like Eve in Genesis 3, who accepted a lie before she ever reached for the fruit, we are reminded that long before a sin becomes visible, it usually becomes believable. To help his congregation fight back, Pastor Matt offers a practical three-step battle plan: identify the lie, confront the lie with truth, and continue to take every thought captive (2 Cor. 10:5). He also outlines four ordinary but powerful ways God renews our minds — Scripture, prayer, Biblical community, and obedience — and challenges the congregation to move from merely trying to actually training for godliness, as Paul urges Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:7. The sermon closes with an invitation to write down the lie you battle most and pair it with a truth from God's Word, because freedom begins when God's voice becomes louder than the lies we've been believing.

How reliable is your judgement in rope? Cognitive biases are mental shortcuts that help us process information quickly, but they can also lead to predictable errors in how we interpret situations and make decisions. In this episode, Fox and Mya explore how these biases can affect our rope practice, relationships, learning and assessment of risk. They discuss: • Anchoring bias and how first impressions can shape everything that follows • Overconfidence bias and its relationship with the Dunning–Kruger effect • Hindsight bias and the temptation to believe an outcome was obvious all along • The sunk cost fallacy and why previous investment can make it difficult to stop • Outcome bias and the danger of judging a decision only by how it turned out • Self-serving bias and how we explain our successes and failures • Why simply recognizing that these biases exist can help • Situations in which you may not want to rely entirely on your own judgement • A framework for considering whether the causes of an outcome are internal or external, stable or changeable, and within or outside your control Whether you are a top, bottom, switch, educator or organizer, understanding the limits of your own thinking can help you make more deliberate decisions and respond to mistakes with greater clarity.

This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Love Is podcast simulcast, co-hosted by Kim Sorrelle, welcoming actor Scott Valentine, remembered as Nick Moore on Family Ties. Valentine spoke about resilience, recounting how being run over by a truck left him paralyzed and told he would never walk again, and how he refused to accept that verdict. He framed setbacks as manure to clean off before climbing back on the horse, insisting that when someone treats you like dirt it defines them, not you. He credited his good fortune working with Michael J. Fox, Michael Gross, Meredith Baxter, Justine Bateman, and creator Gary David Goldberg, then centered the conversation on Red Coral Universe, the ad-supported streaming platform he built with partner Larry Meistrich to give independent creators a real voice and a fair share of the profits, splitting revenue from dollar one and opening the door to makers the big platforms overlook. Find it at redcoraluniverse.com.Neil then joined a Criminally Good with Sherrie and Jen simulcast, presented by Storehouse Media Group, welcoming Matthew B. Cox, a former licensed mortgage broker who became a notorious white-collar offender and once landed on the U.S. Secret Service's most-wanted list before serving time in federal prison. Cox recounted how, since his release, he has reinvented himself as a true-crime author and the host of the popular YouTube show Inside True Crime, where he interviews law enforcement and former criminals, occasionally joking that a guest turns out to be less former than advertised, for an audience of more than a million subscribers. He explained that he began writing behind bars, penning memoirs of fellow inmates, among them Efraim Diveroli, whom he was incarcerated alongside, and clarified a common mix-up: he did not write War Dogs, the film that drew from a Rolling Stone article by Guy Lawson, with Jonah Hill playing Diveroli. His own book, Shark in the Housing Pool, has been optioned for the screen several times over roughly seven years without yet becoming a movie, a grind Cox takes in stride, noting that only a handful of optioned projects ever get made and that he is happy with where things stand. He offered a candid critique of the true-crime convention circuit for sidelining actual reformed offenders while welcoming him only as a journalist, and, drawing on the long odds he has watched other authors face, cautioned anyone banking on a single Hollywood deal to build something else in the meantime. Now channeling that same hustle into growing his shows across new platforms, he encouraged listeners to check out Inside True Crime.The hour closes with a Jesus and Ugly Jody simulcast, hosted with Sherrie, where recurring guest Jody Corbett led a reflection on blessings. Corbett walked through several kinds, material provision, relationships, and health, and pointed especially to what he called unrealized blessings, the disappointments that only reveal themselves as gifts in hindsight, a point Neil and Sherrie echoed with their own stories of doors that closed before better ones opened. He opened by asking simply what a blessing is, and pressed on where blessings come from. Anchoring the talk in Jeremiah 29:11, he noted that God's plans are meant not only to prosper but to protect, and reminded listeners that even everyday gifts like a healthy body, rest, and the breath of each morning are easy to overlook. He then turned to the temptation of Jesus in Matthew 4 to argue that not everything that looks like a blessing is one, since some are distractions meant to pull us off course, and that our free will shapes which doors we let God open. Find Scott Valentine at redcoraluniverse.com and Matthew B. Cox on Inside True Crime.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Bony Ramirez!About Bony Ramirez: Dominican-born artist based out of Jersey City, New Jersey, working across painting, sculpture, and installation to create a vivid celebration and exploration of Dominican life and Caribbean culture. Blending European painting traditions — Renaissance and Mannerist influences drawn from church art — with distinctly Caribbean imagery, symbolism, and materials, Ramirez has built a visual language entirely his own. His elongated, exaggerated figures function almost like landscapes, each one deliberately distinct, never referencing real people but instead pulling from memory and imagination.In our conversation, Ramirez talks through moving to the United States at 13 years old and how that transition shaped both his identity and his relationship to the culture he left behind. He reflects on how being physically close to New York City's art scene, including a stretch living in Harlem, became an essential part of his growth as an artist. Ramirez discusses his responsibility to tell Caribbean stories that are still underrepresented in contemporary art, noting how many people don't even know where his island is.He gets into how his figures evolved — starting from self-taught limitations that became a stylistic signature — and why he keeps cultural markers like plantains, machetes, and crabs, along with bilingual English and Spanish titles, at the forefront of his work, refusing to let that world fade into the background.Be sure to follow Bony Ramirez on Instagram at @bonyramirezz to keep up with his work and future projects.Photo courtesy of subject.

Hi Parents! Do you feel like every boundary in your home turns into a power struggle? Maybe your teen argues about curfew, avoids homework, pushes back on phone limits, or seems to resist every expectation you set. It can leave you wondering whether you're being too strict, too lenient, or simply getting it all wrong. The truth is, the problem often isn't the boundary itself - it's how that boundary is being experienced by your teen's nervous system. When anxiety is present, even well-intentioned rules can feel overwhelming or controlling, leading to resistance, shutdown, avoidance, or secrecy. But with a few intentional shifts, boundaries can become a source of safety instead of conflict. In this episode, we're exploring the difference between control and structure, why anxious teens often push back, and how calm, collaborative communication can reduce power struggles while strengthening your relationship. And if today's conversation resonated with you, and you're ready to move beyond simply understanding anxiety and start responding with greater confidence, I'd love to invite you into The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™. In just six weeks, you'll go from feeling overwhelmed, reactive, and unsure of what to do to feeling calm, capable, and confident in how you support your teen. You'll learn not only what to do when anxiety shows up, but why it works, so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start leading with clarity. Inside the program, I'll guide you through my signature 3A Pathway™ Framework - Awareness, Action, and Anchoring - a step-by-step approach that helps you better understand anxiety, respond effectively in the moments that matter most, and create a calmer, more connected home environment. This program was created for parents who are exhausted from feeling like they're doing everything wrong, watching anxiety dictate family life, and worrying about the next meltdown, shutdown, or emotional outburst. It's for parents who want to stop reacting out of fear, reconnect with their teen, and finally feel like they have a plan they can trust. Your teen doesn't need you to have all the answers or to parent perfectly. They need you to feel steady, equipped, and confident. And that's exactly what this program is designed to help you become. If you're ready to rebuild connection, bring more peace into your home, and learn practical tools that create lasting change, you can learn more about The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™ here.

When organizations or platforms encounter a quality crisis or an onslaught of unpopular noise, the default response is to rush toward compliance, policing, and labeling. However, wrapping an algorithmic guess in a false sense of mathematical certainty doesn't fix a quality problem. It creates an illusion of control while breeding paranoia and driving bad behavior underground.  This week, I unpack Substack's recent partnership with Pangram Labs to combat what they're calling "Claudefishing." As an avid Substack user watching this play out, I recognize how closely this mirrors the exact same trap happening inside corporate C-suites and higher education institutions. Burned-out leaders facing an onslaught of low-effort "AI slop" are reaching for algorithmic surveillance tools as an easy button. However, trying to judge the merit of work by auditing its inputs is like looking at someone's shopping list to decide whether or not they're a good cook.  My goal this week is to help you resist the compliance reflex and implement a sustainable, human-centric approach to quality and accountability:  ​Exposing the Illusion of Objective Labels: A percentage score like "AI-generated" sounds like a cold, scientific measurement, but it is actually a statistical guess wrapped in mathematical security. By forcing creators and employees to cater to arbitrary compliance badges, we strip away human agency, punish structured thinkers, and completely abandon the conversation about actual quality and merit.  ​Escaping the Algorithmic Surveillance Trap: Reaching for digital hall monitors fails to address the underlying pressure cooker of leadership burnout. Surveillance doesn't stop workslop. It simply pushes bad behavior underground while forcing your best performers to waste energy proving their innocence rather than driving real impact.  ​Anchoring on Observable, Measurable Outcomes: You cannot hold people accountable for an outcome if you strip away their agency over how they think and execute. Rather than auditing how the kitchen operates or policing tools, leaders must shift their focus toward clear, observable standards. If you haven't clearly defined what success looks like, it isn't just AI that's struggling. Your people are, too.  By the end, my hope is that you'll resist the urge to pick sides in a divisive "human vs. bot" tribal war or slap meaningless red letters on your team. Sustainable leadership in the AI age isn't about building a better digital prison; it's about rebuilding trust, asking curious process questions, and elevating standards for observable outcomes.  —If this conversation was helpful, make sure to like, share, subscribe, or buy me a coffee at ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/christopherlind⁠And if you'd benefit from help balancing performance, technology, and people, check out my website at ⁠https://christopherlind.co⁠—Chapters⁠00:00⁠ – The Claudefishing Impulse: Rushing to Compliance and False Objectivity  ⁠04:15⁠ – The Shopping List Fallacy: Why AI Detectors Miss the Quality Conversation  ⁠08:10⁠ – The Leadership Pressure Cooker: Why We Reach for the "Easy Button"  ⁠12:30⁠ – Stripping Human Agency: How Algorithmic Hall Monitors Backfire  ⁠17:45⁠ – The Four-Part Playbook: Sustainable Moves for Outcome-Driven Leadership  ⁠25:30⁠ – Leading with Curiosity: Asking Questions Before Jumping to Conclusions  ⁠31:10⁠ – Conclusion: Rebuilding Trust Over Digital Prisons  #Leadership #AIStrategy #FutureFocused #WorkforceTransformation #OrganizationalTrust

In this podcast, Colin Kelly discusses how businesses can elevate their brand storytelling by adopting techniques used in professional television documentaries. He argues that sharing a powerful human experience is insufficient on its own; instead, stories must be anchored to a specific event or visual situation that provides a clear beginning, middle, and end. Using examples like an elite maintenance team at a luxury hotel and a safari bus driver overcoming illness, Kelly illustrates how tangible payoffs and emotional reveals keep an audience engaged. The episode emphasises that while most companies settle for simple interviews, true impact comes from intentional planning and connecting narratives to physical actions. Ultimately, the author encourages organisations to move beyond basic social media clips toward dynamic video content that offers a more satisfying and complete viewer experience.

What happens when your ex doesn't just badmouth you to the kids, but tells them God is on their side? In this episode, Lisa talks with interfaith minister and trauma-informed therapist Sherri Heller about one of the most under-recognized weapons in a high-conflict divorce: faith itself.When a marriage involving a high-control religious system breaks down, the parent who leaves is rarely treated as someone making a healthy choice. They're cast as the one who “deviated,” the one who is “morally depraved,” the one the children must be protected from. Sherri explains exactly how this plays out as parental alienation and why family courts so often miss it, pushing for reconciliation “at any cost” while the smear campaign hides in plain sight behind a veneer of virtue.If you've heard your own child repeat phrases that don't sound like them, like one parent in this episode, whose child said she should be talking to “good Christians, not bad divorced people,” you've seen what Sherri calls borrowed scenarios and abuse by proxy: the child used as a vessel to carry the alienating parent's message. She and Lisa talk through what to actually do in that moment, why opposing the indoctrination head-on backfires, and how to find the “middle ground” and the “way in” instead.You'll also hear Sherri's candid take on a hard truth we teach our own clients: in a system that won't recognize this abuse, you have to learn to play the game. Stay tactical. Gray rock. Build leverage so you're not completely cut off from your child, and plant seeds quietly (through nature, literature, science, and critical thinking) that give your kids room to find their own autonomy as they grow, especially in adolescence when the contradictions start to surface.Sherri and Lisa also talk about where to put your energy instead of into endless arguments. At Been There Got Out we teach our clients to look for the “universal agreements,” the handful of things both parents claim to want, like a child who is healthy, happy, and well cared for. Anchoring your communication there keeps you on the high ground, gives a watching judge a clear contrast between your behavior and your ex's, and quietly removes the conflict your ex is fishing for. Sherri's clinical framing of why opposition feeds the narcissist lines up exactly with the strategic communication we coach every day.There's also real hope in this episode. Sherri reminds protective parents that the very contradictions an alienating parent creates tend to surface on their own, especially in adolescence, when the pressure of living inside someone else's story starts to produce its own symptoms. The seeds you plant now, quietly and consistently, are often what your child reaches for later when they begin to question. Your steadiness is the long game.This is essential viewing if you're navigating custody where religion, a controlling community, or a “messianic” ex is part of the picture. It pairs directly with our book “When Your Ex Turns the Kids Against You” and our work on strategic communication.About our guest: Sherri Heller is an interfaith minister and trauma-informed therapist specializing in narcissistic abuse and complex trauma recovery, and a survivor herself.⏱ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS00:00 Welcome — a topic we rarely cover00:52 What is spiritual & religious abuse?02:12 Meet Sherri Heller: minister & trauma-informed therapist03:40 Common misconceptions (it's not just isolated sects)06:02 How love bombing opens the door08:17 When the community sanctions the abuse09:44 A survivor robbed of her future11:23 Rigid rules: controlled marriages & forced isolation13:31 Narrowing it to the family system14:17 Red flags: cognitive dissonance & the absence of humility17:47 Covert vs. overt: ontological gaslighting18:48 Triangulating with the divine & prosocial camouflage20:34 Grooming children into martyrs24:49 Divorce, leaving the faith & parental alienation25:51 Learning to “play the game” in family court28:49 Borrowed scenarios & abuse by proxy29:36 Finding the middle ground with an alienated child31:34 When (and how) to tell kids a parent is mentally ill33:32 Getting out: reclaiming yourself35:27 Gray rocking, planting seeds & the adolescent awakening37:21 Where to find Sherri Heller37:53 Closing thoughtsWHO WE ARE: Been There Got Out helps protective parents survive high-conflict divorce, custody battles, and parental alienation.

CSI Litigation Consultant Linda Khzam, M.A. joins Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. to talk about anchoring. Bill and Linda discuss how plaintiff attorneys approach developing their anchor and Linda shares results from several recent jury research projects where damages were discussed with mock jurors and what their reactions were to the anchors and counter-anchors. They explain the importance of testing and re-testing cases with mock jurors in focus groups in order to understand what jurors think about the figures being presented from both sides and the emotion and perspectives behind where jurors land on both the anchor and counter-anchor.

Shares a classic beer menu example where listing expensive beers first increased average spending. 01:05–03:15: Demonstrates price anchoring with service pricing ($500 vs. $150 package) and recounts a sales technique from the speaker's father, who would casually mention a much higher number before revealing the real price, making the actual offer seem inexpensive. 03:15–05:17: Applies price anchoring to Etsy. Recommends including a photo showing your entire product line (not just one item) to build trust, demonstrate experience, and help shoppers quickly identify products they like. 05:17–07:44: Warns against the paradox of choice. Claims that around four options is the ideal number because too many choices increase friction, reduce buyer confidence, and can lead to fewer purchases and more returns. 08:02–10:19: Shares general pricing psychology tips: Remove commas from large prices. Avoid currency symbols when possible. Use smaller font sizes for prices to make them feel less intimidating. Certain wording (such as "low") can subtly influence price perception. 10:19–12:53: Explains how to build effective bundles. Keep bundle pricing easy to understand so buyers can quickly recognize the value without doing difficult mental math, reducing decision fatigue. 12:53–14:11: Suggests using price anchoring inside bundles by presenting the highest-priced package first, making mid-tier options feel like the best value. Reinforce this with labels like "Most Popular" to add social proof and guide buyers toward the desired purchase.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeA Dodge Durango came into the shop for a second opinion after being suspected of needing a transmission. The symptoms sounded convincing at first: harsh shifts, apparent slipping, no diagnostic trouble codes, and a vehicle that felt completely wrong on the road. But the actual problem was much simpler. The Durango was stuck in four-low. Once shifted properly through neutral, the harsh shifting, driveline bind, and “slipping” behavior disappeared.Matt uses the case as a springboard into a broader discussion about diagnostic tunnel vision. The point is not just that someone almost condemned a transmission unnecessarily. The deeper issue is how easily a first impression can become the diagnosis. Once the vehicle felt like it was slipping, everything after that could be interpreted through that lens. That is where anchoring, confirmation bias, and premature closure start to become dangerous.The episode also compares the Durango case to a more common misfire scenario. A vehicle comes in with a misfire, the scan tool identifies a cylinder, the car line is known for coil failures, and the diagnosis becomes a coil and plug before much testing happens. That gamble may work most of the time, but the process failure is still there. Being right by probability is not the same as proving the fault.Matt also shares a personal example involving a Mini Cooper that was nearly misdiagnosed as needing a turbo. The actual issue was cam/crank timing related. The mistake became a difficult but important lesson in responsibility, process, and making things right with the customer.The episode closes with a nod to Mel Brooks on his 100th birthday, including Matt's Mount Rushmore of Mel Brooks films: Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, The Producers, and History of the World, Part One.Watch Durango VideoKey TopicsWhy the Durango seemed like it had a major transmission failureHow four-low can mimic slipping, harsh shifting, and driveline problemsThe importance of reading the owner's manual when unfamiliar indicators appearAnchoring, confirmation bias, and premature closure in diagnosticsWhy “incompetent” may be technically accurate but often incomplete as an explanationThe ethical problem of charging for the wrong repair when the real fix is simpleWhy common failures can make weak testing feel justifiedHow probabilistic diagnosis can work until it does notThe value of owning a mistake and making it rightMel Brooks, comedy, and Matt's Mount Rushmore of Mel Brooks filmsPull Quote Options“The first impression is often the most dangerous piece of data in the whole diagnostic process.”“Being right most of the time does not mean the process was right.”“Customers should not be paying for our anchoring, our confirmation bias, and our premature closure.”“The real danger is not being wrong. The real danger is being done too early.”Episode TakeawaysA symptom that feels obvious can still be misleading. The Durango felt like it was slipping, but the transmission was not the problem.A flashing indicator or odd message on the dash may be the clue. The owner's manual may not feel like a diagnostic tool, but sometimes it is.Common failures can create lazy confidence. A known coil failure pattern or common turbo issue may point in the right direction, but it does not replace verification.Premature closure is expensive. It can cost the customer, the shop, or both.Ethics matter most when the mistake is discovered after the repair. The customer should not pay for a part that did not fix the vehicle just because the shop eventually stumbled into the real fix.A good diagnostic process should include forced questions: What am I anchored to? What evidence am I accepting too easily? What would prove my theory wrong?Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

Laura and Lily are artists, producers, and the founders of Our House Studios, the first and only female-run recording studio in Leeds. Frustrated by the lack of opportunities in a heavily male-dominated industry, they got tired of waiting for someone to hand them a job and dared to build their own creative space instead.But taking a massive leap of faith wasn't without its hurdles. Thinking they were taking over a fully functioning studio, they unlocked the doors on day one only to find the space completely gutted, bare, and echoing. They also had to navigate the deep-seated anxiety of being female sound engineers—knowing that any mistake behind the desk could be unfairly blamed on their gender—and deal with older men in the industry doubting their capabilities with "mansplaining".Now, they run a thriving, three-room creative sanctuary that feels more like a cozy living room than a clinical studio. Built with the help of free labor from their local community, pallets, and coffee sacks, Our House Studios is a testament to what happens when you anchor to a strong "why". They are actively changing the industry by showing that you don't have to know everything before you start, and they are educating the naysayers simply by doing an incredible job.In this episode, we delve into Laura and Lily's incredible journey and what it has taught them. We discuss the terror of the "empty room panic," the power of community, how they use "mansplaining" as fuel to prove naysayers wrong, and why asking yourself hard questions and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is the ultimate key to building a life you actually want.✨ IN THIS EPISODE:00:00 Introduction to Our House Studios and the ultimate dare04:15 Meeting at a gig and the lack of sound engineering jobs08:40 Ditching the wait and deciding to take the leap12:10 The Day 1 disaster: Walking into a gutted, empty studio17:30 Flipping the mindset and the incredible power of community28:00 Creating a cozy, non-clinical space for artists41:20 Building acoustic panels from pallets and doing it for free45:30 Anchoring to your "Why" when the "How" is terrifying51:10 Dealing with mansplaining and using doubt as fuel60:00 The pressure of perfection and asking the hard questions

Watching her two teenagers anxiously search for answers and clarity, Keri Eichberger found herself thinking the very thing any seasoned parent might: just wait on the Lord, and peace will come. And then, almost immediately, she caught herself — because she is just as guilty of demanding answers right away, just as unsettled by a foggy path forward, and just as prone to reaching for immediate solutions instead of patient trust. In this honest and peace-filling episode, Keri speaks directly to the restless, stirring spirit that so many of us carry, and offers a gentle but grounding invitation: what your soul needs right now may not be an answer. It may be patience. Romans 8:25 is simple and searching all at once: if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. And while hoping for what we cannot see is genuinely hard, Keri reminds us that our hope does not rest on the unknown — it rests on what we already know to be true. We know God is good. We know His provision comes at the perfect time. We know His promises do not fail. Anchoring our hope to those unchanging realities is what produces the kind of peace-filled patience that steadies a shaken soul, smooths a scattered mind, and settles an unsettled heart — right here, in the waiting, before the answer ever arrives. Today's Bible Verse "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."— Romans 8:25, NIV Ponder Today The unrest you feel may need peace more than it needs resolution. Not every stirring in our souls signals that something must change immediately. Sometimes the situation just needs an infusion of patient trust while God's plan continues to unfold. Our hope is grounded not in what we don't yet know, but in what we already do. We know God is good. We know He provides. We know His plans for us do not fail. That settled knowledge is the foundation for genuine, patient hope. Patience and peace are deeply connected. Keri observes that with more patience comes more peace, and with more peace comes greater enjoyment of the very day we are living. Impatience costs us the present moment while we strain toward the future. A Prayer for You Today Lord God, You are the God of all hope, and all my hope is in You. So often I seek answers, solutions, and change — scurrying and stressing over what hasn't happened yet. But more than I need immediate resolution, I need patience to wait on You. I find that patience when I place my hope in Your promises: that You have good plans for me, that You will guide me, and that You will provide all I need at just the right time. Lord, I pour out my praise for Your love and for the patience You offer that brings precious peace and joy all through my life. Thank You, Jesus. In Your wonderful name, Amen.

In this episode of The Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt discusses: Why women hate uncertainty  The nervous system during transition  How to stop rushing clarity  Anchoring yourself when there are no answers  "There is a period of time, a few minutes, where you have intubated an hypoxic patient, and the sats are still low. Everyone around you is second-guessing you, because the pulse ox sound is still ominous. But you know the tube is in the trachea…you watched it go in. The worst thing you can do is doubt yourself and pull the tube out. You must remain, even if everyone around you doubts. This is like a transition, and the waiting period. Don't doubt; remain." -Dr. Sasha Shillcutt    Brave Enough 2026 CME Conference For ten years, women have gathered at the Brave Enough Conference to step away from the demands of medicine and into a space of renewal.

You've been undercharging. You've been giving away too much. And every time a client pushes back on price, you fold before they even finish the sentence. Here's the truth: the problem isn't your pricing. It's your positioning. And the moment you stop apologizing for your value is the moment everything changes. Chris Do is the founder of The Futur and has taught hundreds of thousands of creatives, entrepreneurs, and builders how to charge what they're actually worth. He's built a career mastering the art of negotiation, personal branding, and pricing psychology, and in this episode, he's breaking down the exact frameworks that separate people who get paid like amateurs from people who get paid like experts. In this episode, you'll learn: Why charging more is more ethical than charging less and how underpricing hurts your clients, your team, and your ability to deliver real value The with or without you energy: how to walk into every negotiation knowing you're the prize and why neediness kills deals before they start Price bracketing: the exact way to present your pricing so clients anchor high and negotiate themselves up instead of down Why most entrepreneurs don't have a marketing problem, they have a positioning problem, and how being specific makes you more money than trying to serve everyone The mindset shift that lets you charge 10x more: understanding that money is a construct, scarcity creates value, and brand is what makes people pay premium prices for the exact same thing Stop selling yourself short. Start owning your value. The clients who can't afford you aren't your clients. The ones who can are waiting for you to believe it first. ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: You Are the Master of Your Destiny, Not the Client (00:00:40) The Chris Do Move: How to Ask for What You're Worth Without Being Delusional (00:02:48) With or Without You Energy: The Mindset That Changes Every Deal (00:07:01) Charging More Is More Ethical Than Charging Less (00:08:53) The Pricing Game: Price Bracketing, Anchoring, and Never Justifying Your Number (00:12:50) How to Find Out What Clients Really Have: The Budget Excavation Method (00:17:01) The Manipulation Behind Luxury Goods: Stories, Scarcity, and Status (00:22:48) Money Is a Construct: The $800 Day Rate Story and Playing the Game (00:25:05) From Vietnam to Mercedes: Writing Your New Self-Story Through Mastery (00:27:16) What Is Brand and Why Does It Matter More Than Marketing (00:31:13) Don't Try to Be Better, Be Different: The Sea of Sameness Problem (00:32:25) The Imogene and Willie Test: What Story Are You Telling Yourself (00:35:18) Fake It Till You Make It or Believe It Till You Achieve It (00:37:41) You Don't Have a Marketing Problem, You Have a Positioning Problem (00:42:03) The Three Monsters: Perfection, Advice, and People Pleasing (00:49:15) Visualizing Success: Designers Are Futurists Who Imagine the Optimal Path (00:54:52) Passion Follows Mastery: The YouTube Origin Story (00:59:25) The Rich Owner Versus Poor Owner Mindset: Business Archetypes and Self-Sabotage (01:05:54) I'm My Own Number One Fan: Loving Yourself and Handling Trolls (01:09:37) Infusing Soul Into Your Brand: Flip the Cliché and Build Your World ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL

This episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast locks in on a step most teachers skip: actually recording what worked in your classroom before summer vacation nukes the memory of it. Let's face it, secondary teachers juggling multiple preps live in two extremes. You're either mapping out next year before the students' chairs are cold, or you completely shut your teacher brain down until the “oh no, school starts next month” panic hits.Khristen has been in those shoes. She admits she used to mentally check out for weeks, only to return to campus with fuzzy memories about what actually worked during the year. You know the drill—at the start of the year, she'd remember that IDEO shopping cart video lesson being a legendary multi-day event. Reality? It was just four short clips, barely one class period. And every time, the same thing happened: video ended, discussion fizzled (because let's be honest, week one kids don't exactly light up for deep debates), and with too much class time left on the clock, she'd let them get out their phones. Now, with cell phone bans tightening up classroom routines, that's not even an option.The classic mistake? Assuming you'll remember the details come next year. In truth, if you haven't written down exactly what happened—the details, the logistics, what actually worked and why—you're setting yourself up to scramble again. That's why Khristen is flipping the script. Forget a full curriculum overhaul or an all-day reflection session. All you need is a timer and a willingness to spend ten focused minutes jotting down the realities of what went down in your room.The beauty of this 10-minute end-of-year reset for teachers is in keeping it small and honest. Don't try to fix the whole school year in one go. Pick one class, one unit, or one familiar project. Anchoring your reflection on “what worked well enough that I would absolutely use it again?” and “what do I need to remember about how it actually ran?” beats more abstract reflection questions every time. Khristen warns that remembering the logistics—like how long a lesson really takes, or that students won't talk much in the first week—can save you major headaches come August.This approach is especially gold for secondary classroom teachers managing multiple preps at once. You don't have time to micromanage color-coded Google Drives or overhaul your entire resource library every June. What you do need: scattered, real-world notes about what went right (and what tripped you up) so planning in July or August starts where you left off, not from a blank slate.Once you've built some reflection into your routine, there's an easy add-on: Khristen suggests a light system cleanup inspired by a pared-down 5S process. Delete duplicate files, label resources, organize one folder—just enough to clear the cobwebs. Every tiny system reset now will pay off for your future self when the back-to-school madness swings back around.If hearing all this makes you think, “Hey, everyone else seems so on top of things and I'm barely treading water”—guess what, you're not alone. Khristen was the type to check out for half the summer too, and losing track of what made her classroom tick only made the August scramble worse. This episode is your permission slip to ditch perfection and make room for small teacher tips that actually stick.So, if you're a middle or high school teacher balancing way too many preps (or just sick of the annual August amnesia), this episode is for you. The 10-minute end-of-year reset for teachers, paired with bite-sized systems cleanup, is your new secret weapon for work life balance in the secondary classroom. No need to go all-in, just go honest and go small.This year, don't let summer wipe away lessons hard-won. Pause for those 10 deliberate minutes—future you will be damn glad you did.Hit reset, don't regret it.

You may wonder if your story is too messy, if the labels or wounds others have given you are just your lot in life. This message throws open the doors to all—no matter what you've carried or the battles you still fight.Pastor Kevin doesn't shy away from difficult topics. He's experienced brokenness and confusion firsthand. What changed everything wasn't wishing for a simple fix, but coming to the table with Jesus, again and again, embracing the daily process of letting His love wash away old pain and mistaken ideas about who you are.When life tries to stick you with labels and expectations, remember that your worth is given, not achieved. Nothing anybody else has said or done, no wound or mistake, can separate you from the wholeness and acceptance at Christ's table.Kids running wild? Past hurts? Questions about belonging? There's a place for you, just as you are. Here, you'll find people who understand that growth isn't instant, who walk with you as you discover that God truly doesn't make mistakes.Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 1:1, 1:27; 1 Samuel 17:38-40; Psalm 16:6, 139:14; Proverbs 3:5; Romans 8:38-39, 15:1-9; 2 Corinthians 5:17, 12:8-10Key InsightsJesus didn't die to fix you. He died to make you new.If you spend enough time around Jesus, you become like Jesus.Your identity is received, not achieved.Many of us want struggles removed from our lives.

The real journey is about living as who we are in Christ, not just seeking constant outside success.00:10:10 - Owning Brokenness and Finding HealingChildhood trauma, broken families, or abusive experiences affect how we view ourselves. Pastor Kevin shares his honest story and invites us to stop listening to those old thoughts. Instead, we should let Jesus' words define us, bringing daily healing and freedom with Him.00:18:42 - Becoming Who You Spend Time WithThe people and places around us shape who we are. If we spend time with negative people or face criticism, we may become like them. But if we get close to Jesus, we start to show His love and truth instead of the hurtful labels from the world.00:21:19 - The Process of Forgiveness and Releasing BlameTrue faith means not letting past hurts or what others do control our present. Pastor Kevin shows that forgiveness is both a special gift and a helpful action. This helps those who hurt us to be free, so their choices don't shape or restrict our future.00:30:32 - Calling, Restoration, and New LifeEach person has a special calling from God and is given what they need. We should not try to take on someone else's problems or burdens. God's healing does not happen all at once; it is a journey. We find it by coming to Him every day for cleansing, accepting our weaknesses, and receiving the grace that helps us change and gives us hope.https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/arise-in-who-he-created-you-to-beSubscribe & Follow the PodcastDownload our appOur WebsiteOnline Tithes & OfferingsJoin our LivestreamGathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PMContact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167615-459-3421CCLI License 2070006

Improvement efforts stall for reasons every CI practitioner knows by heart: unclear problem statements, missing data, inconsistent teams, rejected countermeasures. Anne Frewin argues those are symptoms. The root cause is the environment leaders create -- and Gallup's data backs her up: 70% of team engagement comes down to the manager.In this episode, recorded as part of the KaiNexus Continuous Improvement Webinar Series, Anne walks host Mark Graban through her LEAD model -- four leadership mindsets that build the psychological safety improvement work depends on. For each one, she offers a single behavior you can put to work right away:Leading with courage means talking about problems, not just making them visible -- moving teams from firefighting to "smelling the smoke." Embodying trust means going to Gemba with real curiosity: standing still, observing, listening to tone as much as words. Anchoring in clarity means communicating so it sticks -- frequent, visual, purposeful, two-way. Driving improvement means inviting ideas and letting people fix what bugs them, using three simple guardrails: Is it safe? Does everyone who needs to know, know? Can it be undone?Anne also makes the case for treating employees as a key stakeholder alongside owners and customers, and shows what changes when you do. Engaged organizations see 63% fewer safety incidents, 21% lower turnover, 32% fewer defects, and 23% higher profitability.The conversation continues into a wide-ranging Q&A on writing better problem statements, creating space for people to surface problems without fear, the limits of ROI thinking, and the hard work of coaching managers who rose through the ranks by being the boss.Anne Frewin is a speaker, coach, and facilitator, and the founder of Employee Centric Leadership LLC.

Is your starting price telling customers more than you think? Are you anchoring expectations too low—and then working uphill to justify your real value? What happens when clients see “starting at” and then get sticker shock when the actual results they want cost more? In this episode, I challenge the use of starting prices, reveal the power of anchoring bias, and discuss how reframing your pricing approach could help you sell for value—not from the bottom.Listen to this new 8-minute episode for a fresh perspective on presenting your prices and why a range might work better than a starting price.If you have any questions about anything in this, or any of my podcasts, or have a suggestion for a topic or guest, please reach out directly to me at Alan@WeddingBusinessSolutions.com or visit my website Podcast.AlanBerg.com Please be sure to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review (thanks, it really does make a difference).

You can have the best worship team in the city, a packed house every Sunday, and a pastor who preaches straight fire. And people will still leave because nobody learned their name.In the final episode of the Church Complaint Box series, Jobbin gets honest about the complaint that hits the deepest: the lack of love. Not theological error. Not bad production. Just a church full of people who never made room for you.Anchoring in 1 Corinthians 13, Jobbin unpacks why Paul wrote this passage as a confrontation to a spiritually active but relationally broken church, and why it lands the same way today. He also gets into church cliques, platform politics, "church royalty," and what it actually looks like to be a connector instead of a complainer.

“I know in advance what my body and soul need in order for me to call it a summer that feels just how I want summer to feel.” – Mia MoranWe think summer will take care of itself. It's a go with the flow time, a less structured time, a different time — and it really needs a plan. Your summer plan needs to honor the vibe of the season and keep you connected to the things you want in this season. I'm going to talk to you about Anchoring, but we're not going to jump into it right away. So often when I see people feeling overwhelmed or struggling with planning, it's because they're skipping the first steps in the process: Centering, Visioning, Deciding. Anchoring is when we make space for the things that really matter. It's the part when we actually put things on our calendar. One way to anchor for summer is to start with some key dates. Some things I'm starting with:Vacation time (don't forget to add things you need to do to prepare or re-enter)Business events or launchesStart and end of summer dates (these might be different for different people in your family)Key family events — graduations, celebrations, appointmentsFlexible space for things you want to happenAnd then there is the restorative summery part … the reading more, the gardening, the moving your body differently, the relaxing. We plan for that too. Join me to plan a summer that turns out just how you want it to feel: https://plansimple.com/summerLINKSA Smarter Way to Plan Your Summerhttps://plansimple.com/summerDOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action. Doable changes are things that you can add into your life, one at a time to make micro shifts and really create a ripple effect that will create a big change over time. Choose one that really piques your interest and roll with it. KNOW HOW YOU WANT SUMMER TO FEEL. Decide how you want this summer to feel. You need to know that before you put anything on the calendar.HONOR YOUR BUSINESS. What commitments have you already made for your business this summer? What have you been doing that you don't want to lose momentum on and have to restart this fall? Make a list. You'll want to make sure these things are part of your summer plan.ANCHOR KEY POINTS. Pull out your calendar and make sure key dates are on there: start and end of summer (this might be determined by when kids are home or when you are at a summer place for example), vacations, business events or standing appointments, family celebrations or other events. You'll add other things — like the morning swim you want to take daily or the weekly family dinner — but having some of the big rocks as anchors gets you started. One more doable thing you can do!

A Chicano educator from Los Angeles has spent nearly 20 years building the infrastructure that schools won't — the kind that catches students before they fall through the cracks. Hector Flores is the CEO of the Latino Film Institute, home to the Youth Cinema Project, a filmmaking mentorship program now operating in 21 California school districts across 61 classrooms. YCP brings professional filmmakers into English classes to guide students from concept to screen over a full school year. The results — in test scores, reclassification rates, graduation, and lives redirected — are impossible to ignore. Find ALIFI at latinofilm.org. Arts integration in schools has been underfunded, undervalued, and cut first for decades. This episode is the case against that pattern — told through data, two schools that are outperforming their affluent neighbors, and a story about a kid living in a motel who just won Best High School Actor.

Today we're exploring a tender question so many parents are carrying: how do we help our kids grow in faith when we're still figuring it out for ourselves? And underneath that—what if we get it wrong? What if we hand them something they'll spend years trying to untangle?Today, we're joined by pastor, author, and researcher Meredith Miller, who has spent her career thoughtfully engaging these questions. Her book, Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn't Have to Heal From, offers a grounded and practical guide for what this can look like.Meredith invites us to move away from rigid faith metaphors like walls and foundations, and instead to see faith more like a web—flexible, resilient, and uniquely woven for each person. That shift opens up a much more spacious way of thinking about what it means to guide our kids spiritually.Anchoring this conversation is her distinction between obedience-based and trust-based faith. Meredith makes a compelling case that trust must come first—that obedience, when it matters, grows naturally out of a relationship with a God we've come to know and trust, rather than fear.We also talk about how to approach scripture with kids, what her research revealed about the strengths of a Latter-Day Saint ward-based model, the value of family warmth, and why “I don't know” can be a great answer.This conversation was a steadying reminder for us that while we can't control how our kid's faith unfolds, we can trust that God is already at work in their lives. We hope this episode gives you both some practical tools and a little more peace for the long, slow work nourishing a faith your kid doesn't need to heal from.You can also find Meredith's new book Wonder: 52 Conversations to Help Kids Fall in Love with Scripture on Bookshop.org and Amazon. Did you know Faith Matters also produces a Bible Storybook podcast?

When you feel like you're chasing the sale instead of controlling it, you're already losing. Neediness kills deals, and most marketers don't even realize how often they signal it.In this episode, we revisit a conversation I had with Oren Klaff on why traditional sales tactics, including being polite, agreeable, and even “professional,” actually sabotage your results. We get into frame control, status dynamics, and the subtle behaviors that instantly shift power in high-stakes deals. If you're running an agency, selling high-ticket services, or managing enterprise clients, this conversation will challenge how you show up on every call. You cannot sell from a low-status position. Listen to the discussion closely, and you'll start spotting where you've been giving away leverage without even knowing it.In This Episode:- Oren's “lose my number” story- Why neediness kills deals- Stop saying please and thank you- Reframing the status and power dynamics- Anchoring your value system- Handling discount requests from buyers- The “final boss” negotiation tacticListen to the Full Episode with Oren Klaff: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s82Goe9d2k Website: https://perpetualtraffic.com/podcast/episode-745-stop-losing-clients-master-saying-the-quiet-part-out-loud-to-close-deals/ Buy Oren Klaff's Books:Pitch Anything: https://a.co/d/fRAqAby Flip The Script: https://a.co/d/hTcp9lP Listen to This Episode on Your Favorite Podcast Channel:Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-traffic/id1022441491 Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/59lhtIWHw1XXsRmT5HBAuK Subscribe and watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@perpetual_traffic?sub_confirmation=1We Appreciate Your Support!Visit our website: https://perpetualtraffic.com/ Follow us on X: https://x.com/perpetualtraf Connect with Oren Klaff:Website - https://orenklaff.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/orenklaff/ Newsletter- https://pitchanything.com/ Connect with Ralph Burns: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphburns Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ralphhburns/ Hire Tier11 - https://www.tiereleven.com/apply-now Mentioned in this episode:https://www.tiereleven.com/auditWe're opening up sponsorship spots for Q1 and Q2!
