“Send Coach John a message”I have found another legend - Nancy Lieberman (@NancyLieberman) shared this simple (and short) message - “Do the work even when nobody claps.”  Remember this is coming from a Hall of Famer and someone (once again) is out there helping, encouraging, lifting others up from the journey she has been on.  How awesome would it be if more people looked to do this to help others. Keep working towards great things, being our best along with making a difference with others along the way. Instead of tearing down others with actions and words (as there are way too many examples in today's world) all of us can do better. Part of that is doing things the right way - even if we don't get noticed. The applause shouldn't be the reason we are doing good things in the first place.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

It's about the people behind them, the passion that fuels them, and the journey that transformed imagination into living nightmares.If you've ever wondered what it truly takes to become an unforgettable haunter, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Two women, same expertise, same platform. One chased virality. One watered relationships. Only one built a business. Karen breaks down why daily posting, chasing algorithms, and "vanity visibility" leave your calendar empty no matter how many likes you rack up — and introduces the 3-2-0 ritual, a small, repeatable, relationship-first practice for turning LinkedIn visibility into real, booked calls. Key Takeaways Vanity visibility — posting more, chasing trends, checking your numbers — grows followers, not clients. The 3-2-0 ritual: three 20-minute sessions a week focused on conversations, not content. Real relationships — comments, follow-ups, genuine congratulations — are what actually create calls on your calendar. Your years of expertise mean 20 focused minutes outweigh a beginner's four hours of hustling. Consistency compounds. Applause doesn't.

And grab your free seat in Karen's masterclass at she'slinkedup.com/masterclass.   Magical Quotes From The Episode: "Visibility was never a lightning strike to keep chasing — it's a garden."

The Breggin Hour with Dr. Peter & Ginger Breggin – Dr. Andrew Fox explores truth, critical thinking, faith, free speech, and civil dialogue in a candid conversation about modern culture. He challenges relativism, reflects on America, discusses his forthcoming book, and recounts the legal battle that follows his dismissal as Austin's fire chaplain for expressing his deeply held religious convictions...

A new U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing states to restrict participation in girls' and women's sports based on biological sex has shifted one of America's most divisive cultural debates away from Washington and back to the states. Rather than imposing a single nationwide rule, the Court reaffirmed the role of federalism—allowing voters, legislatures, school boards, and athletic associations to determine policy closer to home. The ruling has reignited conversations about fairness, biological reality, constitutional restraint, and the future of women's sports. Dr. Andrew Fox, priest, organizational culture expert, educator, business leader, and author (including his newest book, Truth in the Age of Applause), is scheduled to join me to discuss why he says the legal decision is only part of the story. The larger question is what it reveals about America's ability to reason through difficult issues without surrendering to ideology, groupthink, or political tribalism.Following last November's victory of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City, democratic-socialism has gained visibility and momentum in the United States. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the country's largest socialist organization, currently with over 116,000 members. The Democratic Socialists of America vaguely describes its philosophy as "a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society." The website goes on to say the DSA is working for "single-payer Medicare for All, defunding the police/refunding communities, and the Green New Deal." If any doubt remains about the DSA's long-term goals, David Jenkins, a member of DSA's National Political Committee, has publicly stated, "Our goal is liberation. Our goal is communism." Edward Bartlett, Founder of SAVE (Stop Abusive and Violent Environments), a 501(c)3 organization working to assure due process, fairness, and equal opportunities for men, is scheduled to join me to discuss why the DSA is being so open about its agenda and why they seem to be gaining momentum.Federal authorities continue to dismantle sophisticated human smuggling operations as ICE and Homeland Security intensify efforts under Operation Take Back America. Recent cases highlight the brutality of these criminal organizations, including a California man who admitted participating in a migrant smuggling and ransom scheme in which families paid thousands of dollars only for loved ones to disappear, and a Texas case where dozens of migrants were found trapped inside a sweltering trailer with little food or water, resulting in one death. Michael Letts, the Founder, President, and CEO of InVest USA, (a national grassroots nonprofit organization that helps law enforcement agencies across America obtain life-saving bulletproof vests through educational initiatives, sponsorships, public relations, and fundraising efforts) and author of Truth, Lies and Control: Finding Hope in an Upside-Down World, is scheduled to join me to discuss the ongoing efforts to stop the trafficing of humans i the U.S. and beyond as much as we can legally affect.Truth in the Age of Applause: https://www.truthintheageofapplause.com/SAVE: https://www.saveservices.org/InVest USA: https://investusa.org/Truth, Lies and Control: Finding Hope in an Upside-Down World: https://amzn.to/4gwAxw8Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/supportAimee's Audios Subliminal Acoustic Fingerprinting: https://www.aimeesaudios.com/If recent events have proven anything, you need to be as prepared as possible for when things go sideways.

In this debut story collection Patchwork Dolls (Blair, 2026), Ysabelle Cheung weaves an eerie fabulism with tales that cross continents, technology, and time. Set in Hong Kong and America--between the present day and an uncannily altered future--this story collection warps the familiar rules of our world to ask: what does it mean to be Asian and a woman--living under the specter of state and technological surveillance--or trying to break free from it? In the title story, a young woman of color realizes she can make her fortune by surgically selling her facial features to whiter, wealthier clients. In "Please, Get Out and Dance," a group of rebels escapes a city that is literally disappearing around them--building by building, person by person--to migrate to a new home beneath the ocean, defying their government's mandate. "Herbs" follows an elderly widow who, when the clones of her dead husband start to appear uninvited in her home, must grapple with her memories. In each of these stories, Cheung tilts the world just slightly off its axis to bring together a haunting meditation on what it means to survive within our increasingly digitized and mechanized world. Ysabelle Cheung is a writer and art critic based in Hong Kong. Her Fiction has appeared in Granta, Slate, and The Rumpus. She was awarded the 2023 Aspen Words Fellowship and was in residence at the Jan Michalski Foundation in 2024. Her essays and criticism have appeared in The Atlantic, Artforum, and Lit Hub. She is the co-founder of a contemporary art gallery in Hong Kong called the PhD Group. Recommended Books: Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life Sayumi Kamakura, Applause for a Cloud Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Professor at Ithaca College. He writes criticism on contemporary global literatures. His book, Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature, is published with Bloomsbury Publishing.

Most people spend a lifetime trying to balance their passions.Tannis Kowalchuk planted hers in the same field.In this episode of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau sits down with the artistic director of Farm Arts Collective and co-owner of Willow Wisp Organic Farm along Pennsylvania's Delaware River.A performer at heart, Tannis always knew she belonged on a stage. Then she met a farmer. What followed was a remarkable journey that combined two seemingly different worlds into one life's mission.Today, Tannis is an actor, director, producer, farmer, educator, and climate advocate whose work has transformed a working organic and solar farm into a destination for original theater and community dialogue.Her productions are performed right on the farm, where audiences gather among fields, barns, and open skies to experience stories rooted in the realities of rural life. This summer, she directs Johnny Appleseed: An Historical Fantasia, the Farm Arts Collective's newest original production.During the conversation, Tannis shares how farming changed the way she sees the world, why climate change has become one of the most urgent topics facing agriculture, and how theater can help people understand challenges that affect all of us.As she explains:"Climate change and new weather events are the talk of the farming community. First, these devastating events affect farmers, then they affect the eaters. And the eaters are all of us."Tannis also offers thoughtful advice for aspiring artists, emphasizing the importance of mastering your craft, building relationships with mentors and collaborators, and staying committed to the work.Insightful, inspiring, and deeply original, this episode explores what happens when creativity, purpose, and community all take root in the same place.@Farm Arts Collective @Willow Wisp Organic Farm @Lisa Champeau

LAFCU celebrates graduates of financial education program aimed at strengthening community financial stability LANSING, Mich. — For many participants, the Pathway to Financial Transformation program represents more than financial education — it's a stepping stone to greater stability, confidence, and opportunity. Applause filled LAFCU's community room as graduates of the 2025–26 Pathway to Financial Transformation program were recognized in caps and gowns, celebrating not only the completion of a course but the beginning of a new chapter. Surrounded by family, friends, and LAFCU staff, participants marked the culmination of months of learning, goal-setting, and personal growth. Each graduate carried a unique story, but all shared one common purpose: to build a stronger financial future and reclaim control over their lives. “This program isn't just about teaching financial concepts — it's about helping people believe in themselves again,” said Shelia Scott, LAFCU's community financial education and business development officer and program leader. “When someone realizes they can build savings, improve their credit score and take control of their future, it changes everything. Watching that transformation happen is why,....

I want to talk about one of the most dangerous games people play without even realizing it: chasing applause instead of purpose. Whether it is posting goals for likes, needing recognition at work, or building a career around what others think of you, the applause trap is real and it costs more than most people are willing to admit. In this episode, I get honest about my own season of chasing the wrong things and walk through a simple but confronting question that changes everything. The lesson here is not just about motivation. It is about what kind of sleep you get at night. Key Takeaways Chasing applause instead of purpose is one of the most expensive and least rewarding games you can play. New Year's resolutions and public goal-setting often fail because the motivation is rooted in how others perceive you, not in genuine commitment. Doing the right thing for the cause matters even when no one gives you credit for it. Attention is a currency with a very high cost and very little lasting value. Integrity and cause-driven work give you something applause never can: the ability to sleep at night. Action Steps Write down your top goal and honestly answer the question: am I doing this for the cause or for the credit? If the answer involves what others will think, redefine your why. The next time you feel overlooked or uncredited at work or in a project, ask yourself if the work actually served its purpose. If it did, let that be enough. Audit one area of your life where you are seeking external validation and identify one concrete reason that has nothing to do with applause that would still make that pursuit worthwhile. Notable Quote Attention is the most expensive currency in the world because it costs the most but has little payoff and little value.

Exchanging eternal destiny for human validation is a foolish trade, yet many give up an infinite prize just to collect a brief moment of earthly recognition. Do not allow applause to become your oxygen—seek instead the lasting reward of the Father's hidden presence, because human praise will forget you tomorrow, but the peace, joy, and embrace of God will satisfy your soul forever. #FULLTANKwithBroBo​ #FULLTANKwithBroBo2026​ #BoSanchez​ #AudienceOfOne​ #Matthew6​ #EternalRewards​ #TrueRighteousness​ #FaithInAction​ #SpiritualMaturity​ #TrulyRichMindset​ #GodIsTheReward​ #Grace​--- PS.

When approaching God in our ‘acts of righteousness' we are reminded that God is the only audience that matters. "Righteousness Without Applause", Craig Ford, 06-14-26

You already know something is off. The output is there. You're showing up, doing the work, performing at a level other people can see. But underneath all of it, there's a strain you can't quite name — a low-grade exhaustion that has nothing to do with how many hours you slept and everything to do with why you're doing what you're doing. You are working for your identity instead of from it. And no amount of productivity is going to fix a motivation problem. Pentatonix's Kevin Olusola and Donovan Dee Donnell join me today for a riveting conversation. Kevin Olusola, Grammy-winning beatboxer and member of Pentatonix, and Donovan Dee Donnell, life coach, counselor, and co-author of Designed to Succeed, join me for one of the most theologically loaded conversations this show has ever had. Kevin names something with startling precision: he gave up the ghost — not as resignation, but as full surrender to the Father at the Hollywood Bowl in 2022, performing before thousands without needing their applause because his being was finally more secure than his doing. Donovan unpacks the mechanics of fear with the clarity of someone who has lived in both the wreckage and the rebuild, walking us through what he and Kevin call the verify-purify-occupy framework, the three-move sequence for dismantling fear's claim before it ever gains a foothold. Together, they trace a thread that runs from identity through core values, through alignment and its guardrails, to the question every person of purpose will eventually have to answer: What are you willing to die for? This is not a conversation about success. It is a conversation about what happens when your motivation is finally honest enough to be sanctified. It will ask you to do something you have probably been postponing — to go to God with the actual thing, not the acceptable version of it, and let Him work with what is true. Guest Bios Kevin Olusola is a three-time Grammy Award-winning musician and beatboxer best known as a member of Pentatonix, the a cappella group that has amassed nearly five billion streams on YouTube. A Yale University graduate who came within a semester of a pre-med track, Kevin traded the expectations of his immigrant Nigerian-Grenadian family for a music career built on the unconventional combination of classical cello and beatboxing — and paid for that leap in ways that eventually led him to something more costly than a career pivot: a genuine reckoning with why he was performing at all. He is also the founder of Imagine Faith Talk, where his platform merges high-performance principles with a Pentecostal-Charismatic faith, and the author of a solo musical project, Dawn of a Misfit. Donovan Dee Donnell is a life coach, former counselor, and co-author of Designed to Succeed. A self-described introvert with an extrovert's calling, Donovan brings both the rigor of professional coaching and the honesty of someone who has navigated some dark places — including years as a stripper and a long reckoning with what it costs to build a life that isn't afraid of criticism. He is a founding collaborator on the Imagine Faith Talk platform alongside Kevin Olusola, and his coaching work centers on helping people identify the guardrails that protect alignment and do the internal work necessary to keep their motivation honest.

Tim Hawkins has spent 25 years making audiences laugh, but this conversation goes far beyond comedy. Ginny and Tim walk through two decades of songs, videos, homeschooling adventures, family life, and the unexpected twists that shaped his career. Along the way, Tim shares the story behind some of his most beloved parodies, what nearly cost him his marriage, the process of slowing down some, and what it feels like to have his grown children working alongside him today. This episode is a reminder that the best parts of life aren't the things that go viral, they're the people who are still there when the lights come down.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAmerica officially crossed into parody territory.In this episode, Jeff dives headfirst into one of the strangest weeks in modern American politics where the White House starts looking less like it's the center of global diplomacy and more like a pay per view event sponsored by chaos and caffeine.From plans involving the White House lawn itself to increasingly surreal political rhetoric surrounding Iran, this episode explores the feeling that the country's gone so far off the rails that reality now sounds like a rejected comedy script somebody found in a studio dumpster behind Hollywood.Jeff also breaks down the political earthquake happening in Texas and why Republicans might have accidentally created a massive problem for themselves while celebrating victory. What looks like triumph on the surface could actually become one of the biggest political miscalculations in years.The episode also takes a hard look at America's increasingly convoluted immigration system and the growing disconnect between politicians yelling “come legally” while the legal process itself becomes harder, slower, and more absurd by the week.This is part political commentary, part societal exhaustion, and part “how the hell did we get here?” therapy session for people watching America transform into something that often feels more like satire than reality.At this point the only thing missing is a giant flashing “APPLAUSE” sign above Congress while smoke machines blast behind the podium and somebody sells commemorative energy drinks in gold cans in the lobby.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

  What happens when a person becomes more committed to the persona than the person underneath it? In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian Crawford and Bri explore the tension between authenticity, fame, identity, art, culture, leadership, and emotional pain. Using Drake, Justin Bieber, Sam Altman, Jay-Z, and Søren Kierkegaard as case studies, they unpack how people create personas to survive pain — and what it takes to create a life that truly matters. This conversation dives deep into: Why people dissociate from themselves The emotional cost of fame and influence Drake's "villain era" and what it reveals about modern culture Why responsibility is essential for growth Art as therapy, meaning, and legacy The danger of creating for applause instead of truth How technology, AI, and power reshape identity The role suffering plays in becoming authentic What it means to make your life a work of art Why slowing down and reflecting matters more than ever This is a conversation about becoming who you actually are — not who the world rewards you for pretending to be. If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who's wrestling with identity, purpose, creativity, or growth. #NewRulesPodcast #Authenticity #Drake #JustinBieber #SamAltman #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Art #Identity #Culture #JayZ   Pre-Order the Book Pre-order the book here: http://magnumopusproject.co   If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it.

Adam Goldbruch still remembers the celebration. In 2017, he stood inside a Tel Aviv startup office while employees cheered a milestone: a Disney princess quiz had generated “2.8 million page views,” he tells us. Champagne circulated as the founder delivered a visionary speech about changing communication through content.At the time, Goldbruch was young enough to be swept up in the excitement, but skeptical enough to question what those metrics truly meant. Three years later, he found himself in the same company leading cost reductions and layoffs after realizing the celebrated KPI had not translated into sustainable value, he tells us.That experience shaped the finance philosophy he carries today as CFO of DoorLoop. Goldbruch's career began in construction finance, where he learned unit economics by seeing how materials and labor translated into physical buildings, he tells us. He later built FP&A functions across startups, private firms, and public companies, experiences that taught him how to identify the operational “ropes” that actually move a business forward.At DoorLoop, that mindset surfaced again when leadership considered several new monetization initiatives. Rather than chase immediate revenue, Goldbruch modeled one-, three-, and five-year outcomes and concluded the company should focus on expanding the number of property units served, he tells us.For Goldbruch, finance leadership is not about celebrating vanity metrics. It is about identifying the measurements that compound value over time.

We often think we're doing the right things—giving generously, praying faithfully, even fasting—but Jesus challenges us to examine something deeper: our motives. In Matthew 6, we're confronted with a piercing question that cuts through our religious activities: who are we really doing this for? Are we seeking the applause of people around us, or are we genuinely pursuing intimacy with God? This passage reveals that the same act of giving, praying, or fasting can either draw us closer to God or become a performance for human approval. The reward we receive depends entirely on our audience. When Jesus says 'when you give,' 'when you pray,' and 'when you fast,' He's not making suggestions—He's assuming these disciplines are part of our lives. But He warns us against the subtle trap of practicing righteousness to be seen by others. The challenge isn't to stop doing good things, but to check our hearts constantly. Are we giving our first fruits or our leftovers? Are our prayers genuine conversations with the Creator or impressive performances? Are we willing to deny our flesh through fasting to say yes to Jesus? This isn't about earning God's love—it's about recognizing that everything we have already belongs to Him. We're simply conduits of His generosity, not the source. The beautiful promise is this: when we draw near to God with pure motives, He draws near to us. Our spiritual disciplines become pathways to experiencing His presence rather than badges we display for others to admire.

When approval decreases, it's easy to question our worth. But a quieter scoreboard doesn't mean less value — it often means deeper alignment. This episode explores choosing peace over pressure and conviction over constant validation. Identity over approval. Alignment over applause. Conviction over constant validation. Define your worth internally and build confidence through consistent, values-driven action.

Award-winning recording artist and songwriter, Rachael Lampa, opens up about the pivotal moment she walked away from a massive music career at age 20 to find her own voice. After years of living on autopilot, she discovered that true identity is not found in metrics or accolades but in the quiet rhythms of serving others through Nashville's homeless community and women's prison ministries. This episode explores how her son Leo has taught her to embrace the superpower of connection over the constant hurry of life. Listeners will learn how to transition from a mindset of perfection to one of harmony while guarding their intrinsic worth as a child of God.Guest Links:RachaelLampaMusic"Perfectly Loved""Superpowers"Credits: Host: Lisa Nichols, Executive Producer: Jenny Heal, Marketing Support: Landon Burke and Joe Szynkowski, Podcast Engineer: Portside Media
