And the guys talk about Valparaiso's new nickname ... one guy likes it, the other does not.

Tony Lynch is the Founder of the Memories of Us nonprofit, a supportive place for men in grief. Men are traditionally shown over and over in society that they can not be vulnerable. This negatively affects our communities. After experiencing devastating loss, Tony was on the brink of suicide. It took a spiritual awakening for him to get out of it. Tony shares what he was going through mentally when he was in grief, and he didn't even realize it had gotten so bad until it was almost too late.   Key Takeaways: Tony hit rock bottom in his life after the loss of several people in his life, including his son. He was ready for suicide. Men are told to ‘suck it up' and keep moving. Men do grief differently. Tony tried to put himself through physically gruelling experiences to see if he could die. Men don't like being vulnerable. So, physical pain is used as a way to keep their mind off of their true emotional pain. Tony lost everyone he cared about at 26 years old. Life sucked. He knew it would be better to just leave this world. As Tony was sitting alone ready to commit suicide, he heard his name call out in the distance, but no one was there. This woke him up. He knows it was a spiritual intervention. If you want your men to be good men, you have to have open communication with them. Don't be ashamed to share who you are with someone else. Grief gets trapped inside us and it has nowhere else to go if you don't deal with it head-on. How did Tony take this grief and empower his community? Tony's nonprofit shows men that it's okay to grieve. Men don't talk. By not talking, you're stuck. Your family wants to help you, but they don't know what to do. When Tony lost his child, he stopped talking about it to other people. He didn't want people to know what he was going through. It's so easy to feel completely numb to the pain. But if you don't deal with your ‘stuff', it WILL come around and bite you. You are important. You have someone in your corner. Reach out to Tony for support. Tony offers advice to a man in grief right now.   Resources: Tony on LinkedIn Memories of Us Podcast

As Tony was finishing up a conversation with a lady named Diane, a young girl named Arancha sat on the low retaining wall next to them. Once Tony said goodbye to Diane, he addressed Arancha.--Arancha believed herself to be a Christian because she believed in God and she believed that God helps everyone. As Tony began to communicate the gospel to Arancha, who was maybe 12 years old, her Aunt Grace and her younger sister Mackenna sat down and joined the conversation.--All three ladies heard the gospel and received bibles. In return, Tony received hugs.--Whether 12 years old, 22, 52, or 82, it the same gospel for everyone.--Grace excused herself but soon returned with a bottle of cold water. She told Tony that she recently found a dollar bill in her car and knew she should do something good with it. So, she decided to run into the nearby convenience store and bought Tony the bottle of water.

No sooner had Tony arrived at the corner of Harrison and Locust for an afternoon of crosswalking than Daniel arrived. Disheveled and dirty from a long day of hard work, Daniel wanted information about Tony's church.--Daniel, having arrived in Iowa from California only a few months ago, found himself hanging out with the wrong crowd, drinking heavily, and doing cocaine. He thought -getting back into church- would help him.--As Tony began to explain the truths of the gospel, Daniel interrupted, as if he was going to finish Tony's thought, and said, -You can't get to heaven on faith alone.- Tony assured him that the opposite was true.--This began a short but profitable gospel conversation with a young man who needed Christ.

It's not often you get to see through the eyes of someone who created a product that you and hundreds of millions of other people use, hundreds of times a day, every single day, and have for a decade or more. Tony Fadell is the legendary inventor of the iPod, co-inventor with Steve Jobs of the iPhone, and Founder of Nest. Now he is the Principal at Future Shape, an investment and advisory firm coaching over 200+ startups. There's almost an infinity of things to learn from Tony, but what we most wanted to uncover are his product frameworks and first principles for design. How can Founders think about designing products that are both high-utility and beloved -- that achieve dent-in-the-universe levels of adoption? As Tony puts it: For truly great designs, 50% of the design is the design. 50% of the design is the story behind the design. And it all begins with re-learning how to see.

Tony has his own movement and tasks “The Be Schmaltzy Movement” whereas you let go of your fears and stop people pleasing to find your happiness and success. The German translation of his last name is to be “sappy and cheesy”. Tony has committed himself to working with others to create freedom to connect to their authentic self for the past two decades.Tony’s Past History of AbuseTony’s parents started arguing when he was about 10 years old, and that aggression spilled over to Tony and his siblings. Besides, his parents were always telling Tony and his younger siblings that they needed to be more like his brother Chris, going to university on scholarship.He wasn’t able to move past his resentment until he went to coaching and realized that he needed to confront his brother. “I had to finally tell my brother that he was my biggest limiting belief.”Schmaltzy Method OriginsIn high school, he went to Germany for a school trip and was able to drink as he was 16 at the time. As he drank, he started flirting more with the girls at the bar, and the locals began calling him “Schmaltzy” as he was throwing out cheesy one-liners to the girls around him. Why People Stop from Being their True SelvesMany people will stop from being their true selves and not let their authentic light shine. As Tony woke up one morning, dreaming about Germany, he realized he wanted to start a movement to help others become their authentic selves as well. How to Break the Cycle of People PleasingFind out what is causing your anxiety with the person or persons you are people-pleasing. Breaking yourself out of your comfort zone isn't an easy choice, but it's a choice you have to make and take action on to ensure you stop the people-pleasing. Making a decision on the fly will feed into your people's pleasing. Take a step back and think about what you really need to do with your day that's a priority.Resources MentionedTweet with Tony on TwitterJoin Me on Speak Loud PlatformSpeak Loud Podcast on the webSpread the message of Speak Loudly Podcast andshare this episode with a friend!***Disclaimer: All content found on Speak Loud Podcast, including text, images, audio, or other formats were created for informational purposes only.

Tony was crosswalking and engaging in sign evangelism with Allen, Sarah, Eden, and Caleb when they heard the unmistakable sound of screeching tires. Tony looked in the direction of the sound and saw a car almost rearend the car in front of it. The car in front contained two occupants.--A closer look revealed that the two occupants of the car were fighting. The driver jumped out of the car and cried for help. Tony made his way into the intersection, stopped traffic, and directed the driver to follow him into the parking lot, which she did.--Allen called 9-1-1. Tony and Allen separated the two occupants and worked to calm them down as they waited for the police to arrive.--When the dust settled, Kiki -who had been driving the car- was standing alone in the rain. We offered her a ride home. Eden joined us so that another lady would be present.--Kiki claimed to be a Christian.--It was a short drive to Kiki's destination, but not too short to prevent Tony from sharing the gospel with her.--As Tony turned down the street for the house where he would drop-off Kiki, he asked her if she still thought she had put her trust in Christ alone for her salvation.--Listen for Kiki's answer.

On this episode of the Franchise Secrets podcast, Erik is joined by Mighty Dog Roofing co-founder and CFO, Tony Hulbert. Erik and Tony discuss everything to do with business KPI metrics and using them to hold people accountable. No matter what department, defining your KPIs and setting goals is the only way to determine if everyone is hitting their marks. Whether it’s something high-level for the entire business or just an individual’s performance, properly defined and measured KPI metrics allow businesses to notice trends early and hold everyone accountable   Listen to Erik and Tony talk about business KPI metrics: Tony’s background (1:47) Tony goes over his experience prior to Mighty Dog Roofing, including working as a CFO for a large Pepsi distributor. Business KPI metrics and dashboards (5:38) With an accounting background, Tony discusses how he gathers the right data to determine KPIs to create dashboards for a company. Getting people to buy into business KPI metrics (10:01) As Tony and Erik point out, not everyone wants to define their KPIs and be measured by them. Tony believes that hiring the right people from the start is the best way to get them on board with being measured. However, he also thinks you can guide employees into accepting it by helping to establish the business KPI metrics together. Leading vs. Lagging indicators (12:57) Tony breaks down the differences between leading and lagging indicators, how to measure them, and how important they are to a business. Dashboards: Purpose and important data points (16:32) Tony explains the purpose of a dashboard, highlighting how it can make you aware of key indicators earlier. Erik and Tony also breaks down some of the important data points you should have on your dashboard. Accountability (33:12) With your business KPI metrics defined, it’s now about holding people accountable to them. Erik and Tony talk about the importance of keeping everyone accountable  “Traction” (35:14) Tony shares his experience with “Traction” and how implementing it fully allows the business to practically run itself. Visionary vs. Implementer (37:24) Erik says entrepreneurs should read the book “Rocketfuel,” which breaks down people into two key subsections: Visionaries or Implementers. Erik believes understanding the characteristics of both people will allow you to better understand the people you’re working with and how to maximize their potential.  Overview of “Traction” (41:00) Tony discusses the key components of “Traction” and how the vision step really drives everything else.

After suffering a near drowning accident at 14, Tony experienced what he describes as a ‘reality alarm’ and almost instantaneously made a conscious decision to live a life of purpose and meaning. This decision continues to inform everything Tony does. In this episode we discuss Tony’s career evolution and how he improved human performance for global organisations as well as a very unconventional job interview he had. Having held executive positions with multiple Fortune 500 companies including John Deere, Medtronic and Buffalo Wild Wings, Tony provides great insight into executive life, innovation and risk management. We talk entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, having empathy, empowerment and the importance of taking action. As Tony lives in Minneapolis and hosts the Antiracist Voter Podcast, our conversation naturally steered towards racial inequality and the riots that followed George Floyd’s murder. We discuss what individuals and organisations can do to dismantle systemic racism and Tony explains the challenges he faced when trying to educate himself on the issues. We also discuss clarifying your personal purpose and vision with Tony reliving the moment he discovered his and he also shares a story on how finding out what breaks your heart can lead to a world of self-discovery and purpose.

Tony, Brendan, & John are joined by John Dick from CivicScience to discuss the outlook for consumers and investors after President Biden's inauguration and first executive actions. The gang discusses the impact of the latest stimulus and the lingering concerns of an unequal, K-shaped recovery. As Tony puts it, "We don't have an output problem, we have acute problems in really important parts of the economy."

In this episode Tony shares a recent conversation he had with a man who is seeking to be a man of sexual purity... and achieved 30 days of success without acting out... but then stumbled... looked at porn... and masturbated. Why did this man stumble after 30 days of success? As Tony and this man talked... the man recognized that after 30 days of success he essentially got lullibied... and let his guard down. When a military platoon is in enemy territory they need to be "at the ready" at all times... because they know the enemy is out there... and it's only a matter of time until the next attack. Vigilance is the action or state of keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties. 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.  I Peter 5:8-9   

As Tony celebrates the acquisition of Francisco Lindor; Ming reveals the origins of his hatred for the New York Mets.

John is joined by Scott from The Footy Blog Net and Iain from The Famous Tartan Army Magazine. To kick off we discuss the disappointment of how our Nations League campaign ended for the World Cup campaign. There is agreement though that massive progress has been made after qualifying for the Euros next year and that remaining in group B will help us. We then go on to discuss the impact of what occurred with the under 21 squad with players contracting COVID and others having to self isolate. This has also impacted the Women's team as Shelley Kerr will have to self isolate and miss their Euro 22 qualifying double header against Portugal and Finland. It's a well done to Glasgow City as they advanced in their Champions League qualifying tie against Valur to make the group stages again. Let's hope they can do as well as last season or even better. The chat moves on to the Premiership as Celtic continue to wobble, is a new manager on the way? Can they arrest the slump? They've only actually lost one game in the league this season but performances are the main concern. On the other side of Glasgow, Rangers continue to be in terrific form and look to be the current favourites for the league. As Tony isn't on we can praise Dundee United who look like they have found a good combination up front. After being 2-0 up in the lower leagues prediction game, expert Ally Graham is now 3-2 ahead. We give Iain the opportunity to represent the podcast this week. It's been a while since we had some wrestling chat but The Undertaker has retired and Scott is not happy that we have inadvertently dissed his Mum.

We use our wine festival (formerly Wine Festival Winchester, this year Wine Festival Online) as a springboard to talk English wine, wine education, making a wine festival happen in lockdown, events in general and how normal people engage with wine. We chat to acclaimed English winemaker Emma Rice of Hattingley Valley, Erica Dent of Enjoy Discovering Wine and Tony, who has a great story to tell about his own personal Damascene conversion to wine. As Tony puts it so brilliantly, 'Things have got out of hand.' Join us at Wine Festival Online on Sat 28th November, when things could definitely get out of hand.

What if we thought of ourselves as Jesus' apprentices? One thing we'd notice is that Jesus loved EVERYONE--friend, foe, and frenemy. As Tony says in his message, "Jesus loved people, so let the company you keep reflect God's mission to love people."

In this episode of Done by Law, Ingrid and Marissa talk about Indigenous stories, and who owns them. They are joined by Tony Briggs, a Yorta Yorta/Wurundjeri (Woiwurrung) theatre & film practitioner, who is the creator and writer of feature film ‘The Sapphires’, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. ‘The Sapphires’ is Tony’s family’s story, and in this episode, he shares his experience of telling his story on screen and stage. Tony speaks passionately about the importance of Indigenous stories being told by the owners of those stories, not only as a matter of authentic story-telling, but also as a matter of human rights. As Tony says, regardless of the questions that are raised around the law, ‘Aboriginal people own Aboriginal stories’.Marissa and Ingrid are also joined by Robyn Ayres, Chief Executive Officer of the Arts Law Centre of Australia. Arts Law founded Artists in the Black under Robyn’s leadership, a service of Arts Law that is dedicated to providing legal assistance and advice to Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and communities. Robyn gives an interesting and engaging overview of Intellectual Property laws – ‘property of the mind’ – and the ways which mainstream intellectual property laws can be a poor form of protection for Indigenous stories and other art forms. Robyn talks about the concept of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property, communal ownership, and the ways Indigenous people may seek to characterise ownership of art and stories outside of mainstream IP laws.

As Tony! Toni! Toné! would say “Do you know what today is?! It’s our anniversary!”. Today we wanted to recap our year. We literally had freedom the first 6 months of our podcast, then COVID happened the last 6 months. WTF life? For real?! Since Nicki and Carmen have been podcasting for a year, we also wanted to check in and see where we wanted to go with the podcast, with our personal life, and our professional life. The main question is ... “What now?”.

“Let’s create not only some healing here but some real change. … Change is automatic, but progress is not. And so this is a conversation today to see if we can create some progress. … What this is really about is getting to what we can do to tap into unity, and love, and compassion, and connection to one another. What can we do to move forward?” – Tony Robbins   It’s been over three months since the death of George Floyd, the unarmed, 46-year-old black man, who was unconscionably killed by police in broad daylight during an arrest in Minneapolis. Captured on cell-phone video and amplified in the media, the whole world witnessed his horrific death, and it has reignited a centuries-long conversation around race supremacy in the United States and the injustice that African Americans can face. The aftermath of George Floyd’s death — and combined stacking of others like Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and most recently the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.  — has brought this nation to a threshold. With thousands of people around the world in grief, humanity is speaking loud and clear: enough is enough, the time is now to create real change rooted in our nation’s foundation of ‘justice for all.’ Beyond change, we need progress. As Tony said in the first episode of this special two-part podcast series, change is automatic – but progress is not. The conversation continues. In this 2-hour episode, Tony hosts a panel of five unique, multi-generational leaders who share their experience of what it is to be Black in America and lend their voice to what we, as a unified society, need to listen to and hear, to unite, to make progress, and ultimately to tap into love, compassion, and our deep connection to one another. “If love is not yet won, the battle is not yet over.” – Martin Luther King III Part 2 Guests:    Charlamagne tha God (Radio show host, author, influencer) Rev. Jesse Jackson (Civil rights activist, former aide to Martin Luther King, Jr.) Barbara Becnel (Journalist, film producer, prison reform advocate) Van Jones (Author, television host) Derrick Johnson (President and CEO of the NAACP)

Tony Joined John on the Phone to talk his Music and career , We heard some tracks from “kilt”and The Australian Premiere of “GO” ( Tony Has allowed the songs to be on the Podcast) -https://www.tonyronalds.com/ Singer-songwriter Tony Ronalds, originally from Nova Scotia, Canada and now based in Sydney, Australia, has just released a powerful new track Go. Tony’s brand of emotive power pop-rock is brilliantly brought to life in this heartfelt genre-defying song that features a dynamic vocal performance and rich and luscious layers of sensory beauty. Yet the track has an irresistible driving rhythm and a stirring edge to it too. With a lyric that reflects a deeply personal moment in Tony’s life, Go expounds on the theme of intense love to create a soaring blend of country-tinged pop. As Tony says of the track:‘Once you realize you are not promised another day, you quickly begin to appreciate the days you are given’. Go is about escapism and commitment and unbridled dedication and a whole lot more. Originally from Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia. Tony landed his first job as an On-Air Personality at the age of 15. Working as a student at CIGO, he would soon find the stage with his first band, ‘Kilt.’ From performing at a Raptors game in the Air Canada Center to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC, Tony and his ability to connect has allowed him to take the stage in many different settings. Starting out in smoke-filled bars, soon it was festivals, and international tours performing over 200 shows a year. Yes, radio play, music videos, and television appearances would follow, along with 5 East Coast Music Award Nominations, including Entertainer of the Year in 2000. The quick rise would result in a much-needed break from the entertainment industry, and love would bring Tony to Australia, where he is releasing his first solo album, ‘GO.’ Growing up with a wide range of influences might explain his genre-defying approach to music. Grounded in Pop with Country and Rock tinged elements. What stands out is his emotive vocals and the ability he possesses to connect through his songs. Tony has focused on music again, and the results will speak for themselves. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/2bacr90stonow/message

On the 9th November 2019 on Transforming Perceptions Áine Ní Tighearnaigh and Rodney Stanton chatted with Associate Professor Jeffrey Looi and Churchill Fellow Dr Tony Schumacher Jones on the topic - When will Australia provide effective mental healthcare for the aged? In light of the impact of Covid-19 and the high number of infections and transmissions in aged care homes in Victoria and NSW we share this conversation with Jeff and Tony from the 9th November 2019, critiquing the recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety’s Interim Report which had almost daily media coverage in late 2019. The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety’s Interim Report detailed how the aged care system "fails to meet the needs of its older, vulnerable, citizens ... does not deliver uniformly safe and quality care, is unkind and uncaring towards older people and, in too many instances, it neglects them". We discussed the recommendations in depth with Jeff and Tony providing a number critical comments and further recommendations on how aged care system and workforce could be improved. As Tony stated "if you want a 21st Century Aged Care Service you're going to have to pay for it. That's the reality isn't it. Your'e going to have to put money into it, not take money out it". Jeff and Tony are experts working in Dementia care and research. They have been regular guests on Transforming Perceptions for many years providing expert advice on support and care for people living Alzheimer's Disease and mental health issues. This discussion follows on from our last show in September 28th where we discussed The Politics of Loneliness – Humane Aged Care: Robot or Human? Transforming Perceptions bringing you news, views, updates and diverse perspectives from the lived and living experience, community, multicultural, mainstream mental health sectors; and music from round the world.

Tony DiGiovanni has been the Executive Director at Landscape Ontario for over 30 years. With such a long history in the industry, he has a unique perspective on the role of associations in the 21st century.

Tony shares some of the ways that Landscape Ontario advocates for their members. As you'll hear in the podcast, this is true during a crisis like COVID or for everyday challenges. As Tony says in the podcast episode, the heart of an association is to help its members to grow themselves and their businesses. You'll never look at associations the same after this episode of the DirtStories podcast.

As Tony prepares for his son's high school graduation, he & Ronn explain why attending high school graduations are miserable; plus, the all important question for seniors today... Will graduates of 2020 look back on their senior year with fond memories or feel like they were screwed out of the traditional senior events?

5 Ways New Sellers Can Sell Like Pros New sellers struggle because they lack the skills and experience to ask well-crafted questions and build rapport with prospects.  In this episode, Tony Morris talks about the five ways that new sellers can sell like pros. Tony Morris is a speaker for sales conferences around the globe, and an author of several books, a podcaster, and an entrepreneur who runs a sales training business called Tony Morris International.    The 80/20 Law  Tony believes that sales reps should apply the 80/20 Rule. This means salespeople should listen 80% of the time and speak 20% of the time.  As Tony points out, we have two ears and one mouth so we should use them in that order.  Unfortunately, most salespeople are in fact doing 80/20 but they're doing it the wrong way round. The first tip for new sellers is to get the customer or prospect to talk more than you.    People generally love to talk about themselves. When you encourage your prospect to talk more, it allows them to become comfortable. As they talk,  you're able to learn more and build rapport quicker. You do this by asking the right questions and listening with the objective to learn and understand.    Asking the right questions  Many people ask the wrong questions.  These questions can be answered with yes or no, they don't provide a lot of insight into the prospect's journey before meeting with you, and they aren't personal.  Alternatively, Tony calls the right questions “killer questions.” One example of a killer question is, “What's the best that you've seen so far?” The answer to this question allows you to understand more about what the prospect is looking for, what they've seen in your competition, and how you can offer better.    Ask questions that are open, will provoke conversation, and will allow you to share the info your prospect needs. #EffectiveQuestions   Sales managers can encourage asking skills in a team meeting.  Start by allowing each person to come up with a topic and then the team has to practice asking open-ended questions about that topic. Going through this process trains the brain to become comfortable asking these questions. The more you do it, the more natural and habitual it becomes. Through this exercise, you're learning how to hold a conversation, not an interrogation. When you're comfortable as a sales rep, it allows room for your prospects to get comfortable as well.    Different types of questions  Tag on questions that allow you to go deeper into the answers.  Statement questions help deeper engagement.  Replay questions demonstrate that you are listening.   Treat people how they want to be treated It's true that The Golden Rule states we should treat people how we want to be treated but in sales, it's more important to lean into The Platinum rule,  treating people how they want to be treated.  You can't respond to your clients the same way because they all have different perspectives on how that should look. Your job as a salesperson is to pay attention to the clues your client provides about how they want to be treated and respond effectively.    Be interested, not interesting Top salespeople are genuinely curious and are sincerely interested in their prospects. Your job is not to sell, but to serve. It's your job to help a customer buy what is appropriate to their needs. This isn't just about the quick sale and then moving on to the next prospect. Being genuinely interested will transform regular customers into raving fans who will be the ambassadors that recommend you to their friends, family, and colleagues.    Sales managers can help their team practice being curious by getting into the habit of asking their sales reps to share three things about their potential clients that can't be easily researched. They will only be able to give detailed and personal information about their prospective clients if they have been genuinely curious.   Be The Challenger  Being The Challenger comes from the book The Challenger Sale: Taking Control of the Customer Conversation by Matthew Dixon. This book challenged Tony's perspective of sales. Before reading the book, Tony thought that sales were about relationships. However, this book proved that the most successful salespeople are able to share insights to make their prospects think differently.    Tony illustrates The Challenger by sharing a story about how he met with a client and questioned their process. It made the client uncomfortable and he wondered why Tony was asking. Tony responded that the client could greatly improve current practices and proceeded to offer the prospect multiple solutions. The client loved it!  Tony challenged the process that they'd been using for years and was able to provide a fresh perspective that served the needs of his client. Don't be afraid of challenging the process as long as you can back it up, share value and offer insights to make your prospect think differently, and in their favor. Using The Challenger method helped Tony stand out from the competition. Do the basics brilliantly   We can over-complicate the sales process. The job is to schedule meetings, prepare questions to preempt objections, build rapport, understand the problems, and come up with a solution. These are the basics of sales but most salespeople don't execute these areas the best they can.     For one thing, salespeople give up too early. Most of them may send a proposal but only follow-up once. If they don't get hold of the person, they just quit. The reality is, the prospect may be needing to address something more important in their lives than closing a deal, at least for now. With that in mind, there needs to be a commitment that you will offer multiple touchpoints. If you have identified them as genuine prospects and you believe that you can serve them well, then keep going and try different modes of entry. Connect with them on LinkedIn, comment on their post, send them articles of interest, or a copy of your book.  You can also send them a book you find interesting or offer a podcast. Do this so that when they're ready to buy, you're the first person on their mind.    Once you know how to do things the right way, you'll want to keep going. The more you do it and get good results, the more these positive actions become habitual.   It's not just knowledge that gives you power. You have to apply what you've learned. Become a student of sales that never graduates. Top performers never stop learning.    “5 Ways New Sellers Can Sell Like Pros” episode resources  Connect with Tony Morris via his LinkedIn and you can also check out his website, Tony Morris International.   If you are interested in more sales stories, you can talk to Donald directly.

Q & A about AABruno J. and his guest Tony agreed on a number of important topics in their discussion about the value of Alcoholics Anonymous - AA - in their recovery program. Here's what we concluded:The evidence is clear that Alcoholics Anonymous aka AA has proven to be a tried and true method of staying sober for millions of alcoholics around the world. Regardless of age, social class, gender or ethnicity...it is the Great Equalizer.There seems to be an irrational resistance to the concept of a higher power, especially among younger people. Fact is this: alcoholics always want to do things their own way. Good luck with that, as “your best thinking got you here.”Surrender has a terrible reputation as it suggests weakness, implies that you’re a loser and is anathema to the almighty ego. But it is the essential first step to get the alcoholic on the road to recovery.AA is not a secret society; if anything, it encourages recovering people to begin living open and productive lives, no longer a menace to society.As Tony has so eloquently put it, the program of AA is an all or nothing deal that when practiced to the best of our ability will liberate you from the jaws of defeat and possible death, and allows you to go on to live an inspired and joyful life.

Welcome to a special one-off episode of The Greatest Season That Was.  When this podcast began, it was based on a very simple premise: that footy was never better than in season 1993. Needless to say, it’s a belief that remains strongly-held by all of us. But that doesn’t mean it was the greatest Grand Final ever played. For that, we go back four years. It’s widely accepted by the best judges that the 1989 decider was truly something else.  To mark the 30th anniversary of the match that had it all, friend of the show, Tony Wilson, decided to write the definitive account of it. The result is a brilliant new book, 1989 The Great Grand Final. It was that season when Tony formally joined Hawthorn as a player in the Under 19s. The son of 1971 premiership hero Ray Wilson, he knows every inch of the family club and devoted countless hours to interviewing many of Allan Jeans’ back-to-back victors from that momentous day. But this isn’t Hawks Hagiography. Anything but. As Tony details in our conversation, he knew how important it was to capture the essence of a stunning Geelong team under the stewardship of new coach Malcolm Blight with a man they called God standing at full forward. So set back and settle in as we revisit a game of football we’ll never stop watching and we’ll never stop talking about.

In these times of uncertainty, we need to think critically for ourselves. If we don’t, we’re letting someone else dictate our focus. As Tony likes to quote his mentor, Jim Rohn, we need to STAND GUARD at the door of our own minds.  Whatever information you're feeding your mind on a daily basis and you focus upon consistently, you're going to experience as being what life is really about – and if we don't discipline our fears and control our focus, the world will gladly do it for us. It’s your choice what to focus on. In this episode, we are bringing you exclusive content from Tony, recorded years ago as part of his PowerTalk series. And while this is from some time ago, his message is timeless – and extremely relevant in times like these.

“Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” - Warren Buffett Yes, the market is in freefall - but that's great for disciplined value investors. As Tony explains on this week's episode, large market downturns happen once every five-seven years, and it's in the rebounds that the best investors make big moves. He talks more about how he uses the three point trend line during downturns and we discuss some of our favourite snippets from this year's Berkshire Hathaway Chairman's newsletter.

A lot of financial professionals say things that just aren’t true. And it’s not that they’re intentionally trying to mislead, it’s just that they’ve been trained to use certain talking points, which they might even believe to be true themselves. Let’s talk about the statements you should be cautious of if you hear them from a financial advisor.

Thanks so much for tuning into our podcast this week as we talk about investing, finance and retirement. As usual with Tony Mauro. Tony, buddy, what's going on? How are you? Tony Mauro: Not too bad. Cold up here where I'm at right now. Speaker 1: You a little chilly, just a bit? Tony Mauro: A little chilly. Yes. Yes. It is winter in Iowa. Speaker 1: That is true. It was 22 degrees this morning where I'm at, if that helps. So it was chilling. Tony Mauro: That's not bad. Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't do 22 too well down here. Tony Mauro: That low for us, generally most of [inaudible 00:00:33] is about, I don't know, zero and below is when we start really complaining. Speaker 1: No, I'm with you. I used to live in Michigan and the in the Chicago area for a long time when I was younger and I got tired of negative 12 and six feet of snow. So I certainly understand that. But yes, the power of the internet allows us to do this show and I get to host it from different places. And so you know, we can always jump on here and do our program, but yeah, very cool to always talk with Tony and have some fun with different things. Hopefully we impart some useful wisdom along the way and you pick out a useful nugget or two on the program. Speaker 1: This week is kind of a funny title for our topic, the show notes here: "Lies We Learn in Broker School." I was like, that's kind of interesting one, so a lot of financial professionals say things, Tony, that just really aren't necessarily always accurate. We'll go with that and I don't know that it's even intentional trying to mislead. Sometimes there's a lot of training involved where you're just kind of, especially if you come through some of these big brokerage houses where you're just kind of sold on talking points and you just naturally gravitate to them. Speaker 1: For example, I always start the show by saying we're going to talk about investing finance and retirement because it's what we talk about, but I've gotten into a groove and it rolls off the tongue really well. So the same kind of thing sometimes can happen and sometimes maybe just these brokers kind of believe this information themselves. So I got a collection of statements that I think folks should be cautious of if we hear these from some financial advisors or experts or whatever you want to call them from time to time. And I think we've all probably heard these, but I'm going to let you break them down as to why they might be a quote unquote lie we picked up in broker school. Tony Mauro: Okay. Speaker 1: All right. So when you see things on print or online or you hear "Well, we have experts who can accurately predict market movement to have you in the best investments." What do you think about that? Tony Mauro: I think if people are telling you that, and I just battled this actually last week with a client of mine who's been with me for five years and he was out at a, I can't remember, some work function. Somebody cornered him and said, "Hey, you know you should come over here because you know we can promise you this much in return." And I just looked at him and said, if they're telling you that, and this goes for everybody, in my opinion, they're not telling you the truth because none of us can predict the market. The best minds in the world can't predict the market. They might be able to do a little bit better job, but I think people get confused with that and certainly I wouldn't fall for it. What you need to do is find somebody that's going to get you to your goals, whatever that is, with the least amount of risk involved. Tony Mauro: And if they're promising you this return or that return, you better take a strong look at it because there's going to be a lot of risk you're taking and in good times, like we've had the last four or five years, anybody can basically pick something. Speaker 1: We're all geniuses the last 10 years, right? Tony Mauro: Yeah. It's going to be what happens when the market goes down per se. And we have another downturn, which you know, is at some point, again, nobody can really predict that with true accuracy, what's going to happen to your money then? And I think that's what you got to look at, focus more on. Speaker 1: Okay. All right. So, and that one, I think a lot of us have definitely heard that and it's pretty funny that you actually had a pretty similar scenario just recently pop up. So a funny thing is we didn't even talk about that ahead of time. So just kind of random. And I think we've seen this one too, and we've heard this one. "Well, if you look at our past investment returns, you can see that we have a system that works well in all markets." And this one cracks me up because what's also the thing that everyone says, past performance does not indicate future results, but yet they'll still turn around and say this is the exact opposite thing. Tony Mauro: They say that. And you know, nothing really works well in every market. Especially if you're heavily concentrated, which is why most advisors advise you might want to give up a little bit of return to be more diversified and have more of a consistent return because no asset class is going to work well in all markets. And if you look at it and what we talked about in our last show about having too much cash, cash doesn't work well right now because you're just not earning anything on it. If you really look at, you're losing money if you factor in taxes and inflation. So that's just totally, in my mind, an untrue statement. And I think the rebuttal or the solution for that is diversification. And then, of course, deciding with your advisor what return is good for you based on the risk, in yours, that you want to take in your situation. Speaker 1: Right? Yeah. No, and I agree with you and to me it's kind of like, the funny thing about, you're talking about cash is not necessarily great right now or whatever, somebody will be like with a gold, and you'll see these commercials "Buy gold" and it's like, we want to buy them with your dollars. But the dollar is devaluing, so you should buy gold. And it's like, yeah, but you still want to get paid with money. You're not going to get paid with bread, are you? Speaker 1: All right, so lies we learned at broker school. This one is actually, I think really, really common. And again, I think this is one that I don't necessarily think is intended to be necessarily false information. I think we just, I don't know if it's become urban legend or if it's just, I don't know what, but basically we all kind of feel as though it would make sense to say, "Well, our tax rate should be much lower in retirement than it is when we're working because we're quote unquote making less money." But that's definitely not always the case. Matter of fact, a lot of times it can be the same or even more. Tony Mauro: It's quite the opposite today. I think that this is a true statement, but maybe just a little outdated because back when people were just retiring, had a little social security, a little bit of a pension, a little bit of savings and that was basically it. Versus today where more people are investing early, developing larger nest eggs and whatnot and continuing to work even though they're quote retired that, you add all that in and the taxability of social security. And some of that stuff that's never been taxed. You very well could be in a little bit higher bracket. It's sometimes not a lot higher. I've seen that too, where people retire, our tax clients, they retire. They're much better off than when they were working and they have to really plan for taxes just so they're not short. Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's a good point and I think that's probably a fair statement is that, it definitely probably made sense once upon a time, but it just doesn't seem to be the case now. This is my final one and I love this one because somebody gave me a great response to this and it was like we definitely hear and we really haven't had a problem just yet because the market obviously overall has been trucking along pretty good. But if you want an example of this, go back to December of 18, right there around Christmas time, when the market had a huge fall, and of course it rebounded in January of 19 but for a bit there it had a pretty, what was it like the second or maybe even the single largest fall in a month I think in like 20 years, the December fall of 18 but you'll hear things like, "Well it's just a paper loss. Hang in there, you'll be fine." And that always kind of struck me as weird because isn't it all just paper loss or gain until you do something with it? Tony Mauro: Until you do something with it, yes. However, if you hang in there and you'll be fine, I'd think that the next part of that sentence is until you're not fine. Because if you have a prolonged downturn, it's going to take you a long, long time to recover. And what I think people don't realize is if you, and I use this example a lot with clients, if you have a thousand dollar investment, you lose 10%, so you've lost $100 and your investment's worth 900 and if you've got your advisor saying, hang in there, you'll be fine. And he says, all we got to do is earn 10% next year, that's not true. You've actually got to earn 11.1% just to get back to even. And so the more you have that paper loss, the longer and or more return you're going to have to have to get back to even. And I think people discount that time period a lot, which is why you don't want to see huge paper losses even though, yes, they are just on paper. But you don't want to see that for prolonged periods because you may run out of time before you recoup. Tony Mauro: Hopefully though, if you're working with an advisor, you've got a strategy in place that says, depending on your aggressiveness that we are, if certain things happen, we're out and we're going to something else and it's not a bad thing to realize a loss either. Some people say, well I want to hang in there. I don't want to take a loss. Like psychologically like you've been beaten and sometimes, you take a little loss, it's better and reinvest than a big loss. Speaker 1: Well and a lot of times we'll have this conversation where people are like, the market continues to do well. Like we said, it's hitting all time highs seems like every other day, who would've thought we would've seen a jump from 28 into 29 in just basically a month of December of 19 and yet at the same time, depending on your time horizon and your age, you may still want to consider looking at that and saying, okay, from a paper loss standpoint or not, if we do have a downturn, I stand to lose X number of dollars. Speaker 1: Maybe it is time to start doing the whole Vegas thing and taking a little off the table and preserving some of this. Again, time horizon based, based on your age, but certainly be worth having the conversation I should say. Because even if green gets a hold of you and says like, yeah, but what if it makes it to 30,000 on the DOW, well it's probably going to get to 30,000 but again, at the same time, are you being responsible with your risk allocation and your risk tolerance for whatever age you happen to be? Tony Mauro: Yes. I mean there's no doubt about it and especially for the retiree crowd, you don't have time to make up losses, you know? And so there's no sense in, I always tell my retiree your crowd, forget about, I know you're inundated with news every in every device. Tony Mauro: It's always in front of us, but you're not really worried about the returns on the market so much anymore. You're at the end game. Now it's important for you to keep generating income and preserve your principle. Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Well, that's our main topic this week folks. So again, a lot of times we hear these kinds of statements and they definitely have some ring of well that kind of makes sense but at the same time when you do a little bit more investigating, especially for some of these things, they're just probably not true. So always, always, always, always do your homework and do your own due diligence to make sure that you're not falling for some of these old tropes that happened to exist out there. And if you have questions or concerns is always, well you can tune into the podcast and hopefully we're going to shed some light on those for you. Speaker 1: Tony is an EA and a CFP of 23 plus years in the industry and so a great resource for you to tap into here in the Des Moines area, central Iowa area really and you can go to yourplanningpros.com and send an email question to the show, learn more about Tony and what he does, and the team and all that good stuff. You can also subscribe to the podcast from there while you are on the site as well. So it's Google, Apple, iHeart, whatever. And if you're on one of those sites and you're checking out other podcasts and maybe you're subscribing to whatever new one that you're interested in about cooking or a book of the month or something like that, just type in Plan With the Tax Man and you can search that out and subscribe to it that way as well. Speaker 1: All right Tony. So got a couple of emails questions. Actually I got one email question and I'm going to do something fun and a little getting to know you time here on the show. So let's see what Lisa's got for ya. Lisa, where was Lisa? Urban Dale and she says, "Tony, I would really like to meet a financial advisor, but my husband says we've been fine handling things on our own, our investments and so he doesn't really want to do this. Do you think it's okay to continue on without help?" Tony Mauro: I would say you certainly could do it. It's out there and especially with today with the technology, you certainly can continue without any help. Do I advise it? Of course I'm a little biased because I am an advisor. I would say no or at least maybe pay for some advice to see if you are on the right track and maybe you can handle it yourself. Tony Mauro: But what I find with most is generally they lack a complete type of plan. They lack the discipline to hold themselves accountable and to make the tough decisions and that's where the advisor's going to come in. It's not really about picking the right investments, it's about helping you get to your goals, and making sure that the plan is always there and it's being followed and somebody else to bounce things off of. You certainly though could choose your own investments from that plan if you see so fit. But I would definitely at least one time solicit some advice. Speaker 1: We get these questions sort of in different formats from time to time. We don't know what your age is, Lisa, but I always say the same thing is that, and we even mentioned this earlier in this podcast, that just about everybody looks like a genius over the last 10 years for the most part because of the way the market has gone. Speaker 1: But if you were accumulating, it's definitely easier in my opinion, but if you are talking about preservation and distribution for retirement, man, there is so many components. I didn't realize half of what there is until I started being a host of radio and podcast talking about this subject. There's a lot of moving parts. Tony Mauro: There is a lot of moving parts. Yes. And a lot of different laws that could trip you up and even in the end potentially cost your errors a lot of money if things aren't done right. So I think you need a team, not only an advisor but your accountant and or attorney so you can make sure that you know you've got all the bases covered. Speaker 1: Yeah, well and there's definitely a lot going on and actually coming up on a future podcast here, we're going to discuss some of the changes that actually happened for this year, so we'll get into some of those things as well. Speaker 1: So yeah. Lisa, great question. As Tony mentioned, get him to come in and just have a conversation, do a one off where you pay for some advice for the session or whatever the case is and see how you feel from there. But getting a plan put together, certainly going to go a long way towards helping you I think achieve and attain your goals and you can always reach out to Tony at (844)707-7381 to talk with him. (844) 707-7381 and go to yourplanningpros.com. Speaker 1: All right, my friend, a little getting to know you as we depart this week just to change it up, what's your day start like? Like, what's your routine for you to kind of get things rocking and rolling? Tony Mauro: In the mornings? Speaker 1: Sure. Yeah, let's go with that. Tony Mauro: Well, I'm an early riser so I like to get up, and I never used to be, but I like to get up now and I like to try to get some exercise in and do a little light reading in the morning, and then get into work early. I don't know, I seem to just kind of flow better. I like to have that kind of dangling over me so I can feel like I can end my day a little earlier and go out and do other things. But I tend to, I used to be for years I would try to say, "Well, I'm going to do this, this and this after I get off work." Tony Mauro: And then, for most of us, I don't know, you're kind of worn out when you get off. And then a lot of that times that stuff doesn't get done. So I like to exercise. I do some light reading, get a light breakfast in and then I like to get into work. Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Tony Mauro: So yeah, that's me. Speaker 1: So you kind of wake up the body with the exercise and wake up the mind with the reading, huh? Tony Mauro: Some light reading, you know, just something easy. I tend to not really focus on news too much because I think too much of it is negative. We get enough of that during the day. Just something positive to read, you know? And there's all kinds of little things you can do just for five, 10 minutes a day. Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm with you there. Boy, reading the news every morning. Back in the day, you can get up and my dad would get the paper and he'd sit there and he'd read the paper and have a cup of coffee or whatever before he got his day rocking and rolling and it's like now man, it was probably even the same way then a little bit. But it just seems like now you're just asking to have your day start off on a bad note to me, because everything's doom and gloom constantly, so I'm with you. Something a little bit more uplifting or positive would be a good way to start the day. All right, well, there you go. That's our podcast for this week. You guys have yourself a great one. Tony, you have a good one as well. I'll see you in a couple of weeks here on the program and we'll talk more about that investing, finance and retirement strategies that we like to share here on Playing With the Tax Man.

Nick chats with friend and greenhorn deer tracker, Tony Hill.  Tony is an experienced houndsman, raising beagles for bunnies. This past summer, he jumped into the blood and deer tracking game here in Michigan.  Providing a service to hunters, Tony and his dog Fred pick up the trail where hunters get stuck. We cover a basic dog training tactics, retell the story of one particular track, and Nick grills Tony about his trips out to Colorado for chasing elk.  All in all it is a great episode.Show Notes:Tony is a member Michigan Deer Trackers, a network of dogs and trainers who take pride in being able to help hunters find lost deer.  As Tony mentions, they are not miracle workers, and if it's not a killing shot, the dog isnt going to be able to help. However, the amazing traits of these dogs, to track animals is what is helping hunters recover more deer.  Fred, may be only a 6 month old pup, but he’s pulling off some great tracks. Particularly, a friend of mine had a low shot on a deer. Fred covered several hundred yards, through major thick brush, and found the buck that had rolled down a cliff and into a lake, incredible stuff.  Tony reminds hunters to connect with a tracker and their dog before season, and have a number stored. If that tracker can’t make it, the network of trackers should be able to connect you with someone. If not in Michigan, check to see if your state has a tracking dog service. After the shot, the goal becomes recovery, what better alias than dog with a good nose. Huntavore is Powered by Simplecast

As Tony prepares for his Thanksgiving vacation the gang makes a plan for the False Finish Holiday Special on December 14th, Jim Cornette makes a fool of himself on NWA Power and more!

Tony’s life journey began in La Isla del Encanto, known to most people as Puerto Rico or Borinquén, what the Taino, the indigenous people of the island called their beautiful island. While the island is indeed encanto or enchanted, the lives of the people has always been a hard life, characterized by economic exploitation and the marginalization of the people of the island so that the rich American corporations could reap profits and exploit the land and the people. Tony’s sense of social injustice was with him at an early age and he carried it with him as his family migrated to New York City, where he experienced ongoing discrimination as he grew up. As Tony grew into young adulthood he realized that he needed to make a huge life change, so he signed up for Job Corps and west to the Bay area where he went through the Job Corps program and was asked to consider college, which he initially found to be a daunting task. Tony’s family eventually moved to San Jose and the family settled into the Sal Si Puedes neighborhood, where they again lived a life full of discrimination and limited educational and economic opportunity. http://ricosolstudios.com email=info@ricosolstudios.com

In 2008, Tony Grebmeier says that he almost lost everything. He had been struggling for years with addiction, was in severe debt, separated from his wife, and was considering taking his own life. One day a friend knocked on his door and spoke the words that he desperately needed to hear. Now years later, Tony has dedicated his life to helping others overcome their own internal struggles and step into who they feel called to be. In this episode, Tony shares with us his story of being abused as a child and the implications that had on his relationships and identity. Today we dive into the power of forgiveness and how we can overcome the dialogue in our mind that keeps many of us in bondage. Tony shares with us why we need to make our healing journey a priority and how everything changed for him when he shifted from leading with his wallet to leading with his heart. If you or someone you know struggles with demons from the past, or wonders what forgiveness looks like practically, you do not want to miss this episode! As Tony beautifully says, “no storm lasts forever” and “the most important thing you can do is get someone to help you through your journey”.

“The Fire-Walker” There I stood, barefoot. Just the bottoms of my feet touching the pavement below me. I had just made my way through the arena to find myself standing in line. Drums echoed through the parking lot and the smell of burning coals filled the air. Slowly, I inched forward and the sound of drums grew louder. Now it was my turn and a voice yelled… “Make Your Move!” With my right hand clenched into a fist I pound my left chest 3 times, arch my back while looking straight into the sky and yell as loud as I can. I take one step forward and without hesitation continue walking on. I just did it! I just walked on fire! This was almost 3 years ago at a Tony Robbins seminar in San Jose. I would be lying if I said didn’t suffer from anxiety pretty much the entire day in anticipation for this. I really didn’t know what to expect, the only thing I knew was that I had to do it. Not for anyone else, but for myself. As Tony instructed us on how we were about to walk on fire he put an emphasis on the metaphor behind it. He explained that the once we started walking, the only way to get burned was if we stopped or tried to turn back. At the time I didn’t really grasp the concept. It wasn’t until quite a bit later that I fully understood what he meant and how it applied in real life. A few months after this event, I started training for my first trail race. I downloaded an app that set up a training schedule for the next 4 months to get me from where I was to where I needed to be. About 6 weeks in I was scheduled to run 5 miles, something I don’t ever remember doing before that. But as I left my driveway something incredible happened… Just as soon as it started, my workout was over. Not physically, but mentally. Yes I still had to physically run the route but the mental challenge of finishing it was already complete. All the dragging myself to get started, the “I don’t want to do this” or “I don’t know if I can do this” was gone. All it took was that first step, and in my mind, I was already done with the run. This is when I first understood what he meant that day. "The only way I could get burned was to stop(quit) or turn back(retreat)." But the momentum of that first step carried me the rest of the way. I was reminded of this again this yesterday when Jessica wrote on her Facebook page, sharing her goal to go from not running at all, to completing a marathon. All she has to do, is just take that first step. After all, she can’t run a whole marathon without it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/learn-for-2/message

Today our expert guest is Tony Jacobsen, a personal trainer and the author of Disable Your Disability: Live The Healthy Life You Deserve! Tony was born with a rare bone disorder (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) that makes his bone brittle, and after years of being held back because of it and being extremely unhealthy, he flipped the switch and learned to embrace it.   Now, at the age of 46, he is living a healthy, high-powered, and happy life – and his mission is to help others do the same.   Growing up, Tony was told to be careful. “For a while, I felt like my name was Tony Becareful because that's all I heard, so I grew up with that in my mind.”   As Tony grew up, he still held onto “be careful,” and it prevented him from living his life. “It kept me from fully expressing myself during those years.”   By the time Tony was 42, he was in the worst shape of his life. He was in pain every day, and he had no strength. When he went to the doctor, he learned that he had had a heart attack.   “It was at that point, when that happened, that I knew something had to change … I knew I had to do something, and that's when I flipped the switch. That's when I realized I needed to do something that was the complete opposite of what my disability had been telling me my entire life; I knew that I couldn't be careful anymore.”   Tony realized he had to push himself and do something that scared him, so he went all-in and hired a personal trainer. He needed help, and he wanted someone to guide him – something he now does for others.   He got stronger physically, but more importantly, he got stronger mentally and emotionally.   A lot of times, Tony says, people with disabilities have trouble asking for help – and I think this is something that we all experience, at some point or another. We feel like it is showing a sign of weakness, but nothing could be farther from the truth.   “With guidance, we achieve goals faster, we learn more, and you can get things done faster in life by doing that.”   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway   “Don't be afraid to look for and identify where you might be broken in life, or where you might be held back. Because once you can identify it, once you can see where you might be held back, then you have something to work with and you can actually embrace these adversities, embrace the things that are holding you back. That's where the power comes to overcome, to health, and to really replace the negative with positive.” --   Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

Today's interview is with Tony Wrighton. Tony is a familiar face on British TV, known to millions as a sports presenter on Sky Sports. His personal journey is punctuated by watershed moments where his commitment to Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and its function in his own life have brought amazing opportunities, given him the energy and vitality to embrace those opportunities and helped him overcome great physical and emotional pain. His own experiences have brought him to a place where he feels compelled to share what he's learned.Tony began as a radio correspondent when he first encountered NLP training and used the techniques to increase his audience for his drive-time show, ultimately turning in record-setting numbers and earning him a coveted spot on the U.K.'s number one morning radio show. As Tony's commitment to and use of NLP deepened, he saw his career skyrocket, including using the techniques to successfully land his dream job at Sky Sports. Tony is the author of 3 books on applying NLP techniques to everyday life as well as a dozen audiobooks, but his real and final transformation came when he contracted a deadly virus and spent months unsure whether he would live or die. Tony shares these and other profound experiences as inspiration for those interested in metaphysical and neurological solutions to what ails us today. Through his platform (blog and podcast)In today's episode, we discuss:What NLP isWhat language hacks helped Tony double his radio listenershipHow NLP helps athlete succeed?

Our pal and frequent guest, Dave Collum, suggested we have a chat with his pal Tony Greer, an independent global market analyst with 25 years of trading experience in and around Wall Street. He graduated from Cornell University in 1990 and spent the first ten years of his career trading currencies, commodities, and precious metals at UBS and Goldman Sachs.  In February of 2000, he left Goldman Sachs to start his own firm, Machine Trading, in the belly of the dotcom bubble.  After 2 years and a great experience, Tony segued into a fifteen year career as a top producing equity sales trader at several different broker dealers including Stuart Frankel & Co., Dahlman Rose & Co., and Bank Hapoalim, where Tony ran equity sales and trading.  The common denominator across shops, as the equity market evolved and electronic trading became more prevalent, was the subscriber growth of the daily note Tony wrote to his clients.  As Tony’s subscriber list grew to over 1,000 market professionals he decided to leave the execution business and launch the Morning Navigator, as a subscriber model newsletter.  He describes the Morning Navigator, steeped in technical analysis and behavioral finance, as “the morning note you will read first” and he has met with great success thus far.  Tony lives in Atlantic Beach, N.Y. with his wife of 17 years, Gerianne, and their 3 children.

Pop culture. Sub-culture. Counter-culture. Mainstream vs. underground. Where are these lines drawn, and why? In episode 37 of The Passionate DJ Podcast, we explore the ins-and-outs of what we call "The Underground". Is underground music a sound, or an attitude? Is it determined by the amount of money involved, or the size of the culture? These days, it's hard to truly lock down what it means to be underground. Today's modern technological climate has put us in a state of constant connection... something that isn't inherently bad, but it does seem to have extreme effects on scenes which took a lot of sweat-equity to build. The effect of “being wired to everyone 24/7” means we all have access to everything. As it turns out, in 2016, scarcity is scarce. We find that many of today's artists are in somewhat of a gray area. Are acts like Skrillex and Deadmau5 pop artists, underground artists, or somewhere in-between? If you consider them mainstream, what was the defining point at which they became pop stars? What becomes popular in the mainstream often starts in the underground, and is accelerated by exploiting pieces of a subculture into the most extreme version of itself. As Tony says, "Once something becomes cool, they start going for the wrong reasons." We also discuss the role that geographic location plays. Can something be described as underground, merely as a result of how under-represented it is in a particular part of the world? Finally, we discuss how keeping it “too underground” can mean going stale. In order for anything to progress, it needs to change. All this and more, in this week's episode of the Passionate DJ Podcast. Give it a listen, and if you appreciate what you hear... please take a moment to leave us an honest review on iTunes. This type of thing helps us more than you may realize. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-passionate-dj-podcast/id874338547?mt=2 Thanks folks, and we'll see you next week! @Tony-DeSaro @TripTurlington

As Tony looks back on Week 14, he's sees the good performance of the Jacksonville Jaguars, the bad of the Atlanta Falcons and the plain ugly play in the AFC South and NFC East.

Tony Tillman sits down to discuss his new album, Camden.About Tony Tillman: Raised in a single-parent home in Camden, Arkansas, Tony Tillman was faced with many challenges urban youths face today. In a town where gangs, drugs, and crime thrived, it appeared the only way to escape from his dark reality was through death. With the allure of gang life surrounding him, Tony joined the crips and quickly found himself committed to a life of crime and violence. God began working on his heart, and with the spiritual influence from a church he began attending, Tony abandoned his criminal lifestyle and found new life in Christ.As Tony grew in his faith, he discovered a love for communicating his experiences thru writing and performing music. He began traveling with Seventh Day Slumber, and opening shows for several CCM and Hip-Hop artists. He has released two successful projects, and will soon release his first official studio album, called Camden, in summer 2015. In his new album Camden, Tony gives us a glimpse of his past, sharing insight on a lifestyle that once defined him. Tony serves faithfully with Fellowship Bible in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.--- © The Christian Manifesto 2007-2015

Most modern sports have some creation myth that usually links them to an almost-sacred place of origin. Baseball has its Cooperstown. Golf its St. Andrews. Basketball its Springfield College. If you are a football fan, whether of the All Blacks or the Springboks, the Magpies or the Swans, the Longhorns or the Stampeders, your ancestral shrine is a centuries-old boarding school in the West Midlands of England. It was at this place in 1823, according to legend, that schoolboy William Webb Ellis first caught a football and ran with it. The game that developed after this violation of the rules took the name of young Webb Ellis’ school: Rugby. The branches of rugby football spread widely in the 19th century and took on distinctive shapes, so that every sport today in which players run with and toss an oval ball, as opposed to dribbling and kicking a round one, can trace its history back to Webb Ellis’ forward rush. The legend of William Webb Ellis is just one subject that Tony Collins addresses in A Social History of English Rugby Union (Routledge, 2009). The book is a masterly work of scholarship that earned the Lord Aberdare Literary Prize for Sports History in 2010. Tony unfolds the history of rugby union from its origins at Rugby and other elite schools of the 19th century, through its expansion into Britain’s industrial cities and overseas empire, and down to its current status as a worldwide sport that draws big crowds, bigger television audiences, and even bigger revenues. But the larger and more important story is what the sport’s history reveals about England in the 19th and 20th centuries. Even if you are not a fan of rugby, you will learn a lot from this book about England and its empire, the nation at war, and the social and cultural changes of the postwar decades. As Tony explains in the interview, a study of rugby is particularly useful for viewing larger historical issues. The two codes of rugby–“rugby union” and “rugby league”–are distinguished not only by different rules and styles of play but also by different social, cultural, and political outlooks. If you don’t know the first thing about union and league, don’t worry: Tony gives us a lesson. But whether you know of rugby only from Matt Damon in Invictus or you’re a veteran player, you’ll appreciate Tony’s insights into the game, the history of modern England, and the reasons that the history of sports matters.

I always assumed that the Jews who emigrated from Eastern Europe to New York and created the massive Jewish American labor movement brought their leftist politics with them from the Old Country. But now I know different thanks to Tony Michels’ terrific Fire in their Hearts. Yiddish Socialists in New York (Harvard University Press, 2005). As Tony explains, most of the Yiddish-speaking immigrants who arrived in New York were apolitical, or rather feared politics having come from a regime that punished open political activity (Tsarist Russia). These immigrants, then, learned socialism on American shores. Their teachers were Jewish members of the Russian intelligentsia who themselves had fled Tsarist oppression in the 1880s. These Russian Jews were radicals, but not necessarily socialists. So, interestingly, they learned socialism–or at least a new brand of socialism–on American shores as well. But who taught the Russian Jews socialism? Tony has the answer: German socialists who had immigrated to the Lower East Side (a.k.a Kleindeutschland) in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. So the chain of transmission begins in Germany with the rise of the German Socialist Democratic Party (1860s), moves to New York with the immigration of German socialists to the Lower East Side (1870s), picks up after the arrival and conversion of the Russian Jewish radicals to German-style populist socialism (1880s), and ends with the flowing of the Yiddish labor movement in New York (1890s-1900s). What a story! Along the way Tony introduces us to a huge cast of colorful characters, explains the origin of the modern Yiddish literary language, gives us a peek at the lively Yiddish periodical press, and shows us Jewish socialists fighting for the rights of workers along side their gentile brothers and sisters. Misconceptions are destroyed, myths exploded, and stereotypes dashed. Read all about it! Please become a fan of “New Books in History” on Facebook if you haven’t already.
