    Last night's State of the Union was more than a speech—it was a generational moment in American politics. President Trump delivered a series of powerful, viral-ready moments exposing Democratic inaction, prioritizing illegal immigrants over American citizens' safety, and celebrating major policy victories. From reduced fentanyl deaths to lower crime rates, Republicans stood and cheered while Democrats sat in silence, glaring. Trump highlighted the fundamental duty of government: protect American citizens first. This episode breaks down the shocking reactions, social media-optimized delivery, and why this speech will reverberate for years.

Republicans stood and cheered while Democrats sat, glared, and refused to honor human life.

    A.I. agents are here. Have they changed your life yet? The release of agents like Claude Code marked a new pivot point in the history of A.I. We are leaving the chatbot era and entering the agentic era — where A.I. is capable of completing all kinds of tasks on its own, and even collaborating and communicating with other A.I. It isn't clear yet whether these models actually make their users meaningfully more productive. But the technology is continuing to improve; there are few signs that it is close to plateauing. So what might this new era mean for our economy, our labor market and our kids? Clark is a co-founder of Anthropic, the company behind Claude and Claude Code. His newsletter, Import AI, has been one of my go-to reads to track the capabilities of different models over the years. In this conversation, I ask him to share how he sees this moment — how the technology is changing, whether it is leading to meaningful changes in how we work and think, and how policy needs to or can change in response to any job displacement on the horizon. Mentioned: “Import AI” by Jack Clark “2026: This is AGI” by Pat Grady and Sonya Huang “Why and How Governments Should Monitor AI Development” by Jess Whittlestone and Jack Clark “Anthropic's Chief on A.I.: ‘We Don't Know if the Models Are Conscious'", Interesting Times with Ross Douthat Book Recommendations: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K.

    Everyone wants influence.Everyone wants impact.Almost no one wants the cost.In this episode, Kellan exposes the dangerous myth that being inclusive, vague, and universally liked leads to success. It doesn't. It leads to irrelevance. If you don't have haters, you haven't said anything. If you're afraid to narrow your audience, you're afraid to multiply your impact.Your story isn't just something that happened to you. It's preparation. And when you let it become a stand — clear, aligned, consistent — you become powerful.Key Takeaways:Why yelling at injustice doesn't fix anythingThe difference between a stand and an opinion“You can let it ruin you or you can let it refine you”Why clarity attracts and vagueness repels impactThe real reason people avoid taking a standHow consistency between belief and behavior builds powerWhy shrinking your audience actually multiplies influenceThe cost of staying liked, vague, and smallHow your developmental story becomes your causeWhy leadership begins with self-leadership

    Episode #370 – Why "Just Be Consistent" Isn't an Email Strategy Anymore "Just be consistent" is one of the most common pieces of email marketing advice - and in 2026, it can quietly become a trap when it's misunderstood. For years, consistency meant momentum, visibility, and growth. But today, many founders are stuck sending emails out of obligation instead of intention - and that pressure often leads to weaker engagement, burnout, and unpredictable results. In this episode, I break down the difference between mechanical consistency (sending just to maintain a schedule) and strategic consistency (building predictable trust without adding noise to the inbox). Instead of chasing weekly streaks, I'll walk you through the real shift happening in modern email marketing - where success is driven by signals, not schedules. You'll learn: Why "send every week" can backfire when applied without strategy The difference between mechanical consistency and strategic consistency How forced frequency creates repetitive messaging and weaker engagement signals The four key signals that should determine your email cadence today: Audience readiness Message strength Lifecycle infrastructure Engagement stability How mature brands maintain presence without burning out their list — or themselves Strategic consistency isn't about never skipping a send. It's about showing up in ways that build trust, maintain deliverability, and support long-term revenue growth. Work with Joy Joya: https://joyjoya.com

    It has been harder to get insight into the dynamics of President Trump's White House this term compared with the first one, partly because there have been fewer leaks.

    Are you keeping an eye on your podcast analytics and it shows listeners dropping off after only a few seconds? Are you worried that your audience retention isn't where it needs to be to see real growth? Does it feel like you are losing potential clients because your podcast intro is just too long? I see so many podcasters spending their first five minutes on tangents that have nothing to do with their content strategy. You might think you are being relatable, but a new listener who does not know your branding yet will likely just bounce.  I want you to know that you can absolutely fix these with a few simple shifts and that it is possible to keep your listeners excited and improve your retention rate from the very first second of every episode. In this episode, I am sharing the exact hook method I teach during my podcast coaching sessions to help you keep people tuned in. You will learn how to identify the blind spot in your messaging and why your intro music might actually be hurting your show. I also explain how to use podcast jingles to build a connection without driving your longtime fans away. This episode is the key to transforming your show into a high performing machine for podcast growth. You will walk away with practical scripting tips so you can state a clear outcome and keep people listening until the end.  Stop losing your audience to slow starts and finally step into your authority building. Your show needs to prove its value and state a clear episode outcome the moment it begins. It is time to stop ruining your podcast growth and start leading with your best stuff.

    Do you feel like you are losing your audience the very second a guest interview ends? Is your current podcast style actually building a bridge to your paid offers or is it just a hobby that takes up your time? Are you wondering if the interview format you were told to use is actually the reason your listeners are not buying? Many podcasters fall into the trap of neglecting their own brand authority because they are too busy highlighting everyone else. In this episode, I'm gonna share how you can shift your strategy now to make sure your show serves your business goals instead of just providing a platform for others and that there is a specific balance between solo and guest content that transforms your podcast into a reliable high-converting asset. The secret is found in a podcast structure that prioritizes your own voice through strategic solo shows. By moving toward more solo content, you improve your audience retention because people start showing up specifically for your unique perspective. This shift ensures your show is a key part of your marketing funnel rather than a separate project sitting on the sidelines. This is your guide to reclaiming your platform and establishing true thought leadership in your industry. You will learn how to use podcast networking for growth without losing your status as the primary expert. Transitioning to this model is the fastest way to drive podcast monetization and secure your expert positioning as a leader. If you are ready to stop hiding behind a microphone full of guests and finally step into your authority, this is your next step. Your show needs to be centered on your unique expertise.  It is time to stop being a supporting character in your own brand and start leading the conversation.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cathy Yoder SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW (CATHY YODER x RUSHION McDONALD) In this Money Making Conversations Masterclass episode, Rushion McDonald interviews Cathy Yoder, known as the Queen of Air Fryers—a mother of eight whose air‑fryer passion turned into a thriving social‑media‑driven business. Cathy explains how she learned to master air fryers, built a YouTube channel with massive growth, developed ebooks and cookbooks, and built a business through authenticity and service-oriented content. The conversation blends cooking education, digital‑branding lessons, entrepreneurship, and personal purpose. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. Educate Viewers About Air Fryers Cathy breaks down what an air fryer is, how it works, how to choose one, and common mistakes. 2. Highlight How Social Media Can Build a Business Rushion explores how she grew from a blogger to a YouTube creator with hundreds of thousands of followers and multiple revenue streams. 3. Inspire Entrepreneurs to Pursue Authentic Branding Cathy’s journey shows how consistency, authenticity, and audience connection can turn a simple idea into a successful brand. 4. Illustrate the Emotional Impact of Serving an Audience Her stories of widowers, overwhelmed parents, and new cooks show how content can genuinely empower people. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Air Fryers Are Mini Convection Ovens They cook faster, often require no preheat, and can grill, bake, roast, and more—but not everything (like wet batters or funnel cakes). 2. All Air Fryers Are Not Equal Cathy stresses choosing 6‑quart, ~1700‑watt models and avoiding units that are too small or underpowered. Size and wattage matter more than brand. 3. Her Content Strategy Was Data‑Driven Initial uploads in various recipe categories revealed that air‑fryer recipes consistently outperformed, so she went all‑in on that niche. 4. YouTube Growth Takes Time Her first monetization check was $1.36, rising to $146, then $300, then to $8,000–$9,000/month by the time she reached 100,000 subscribers. 5. She Generates Multiple Revenue Streams YouTube AdSense Amazon affiliate links E‑books (first launch made $15,000 in a weekend) Physical cookbooks (first batch of 500 sold out immediately) 6. Authenticity Builds Trust She films mistakes, includes her kids’ real reactions (including spitting out bad food), and refuses to promote products she doesn’t believe in. 7. Listen to Your Audience Comments guided her content direction (like dropping background music, creating cookbooks, responding to questions). Audience feedback = brand refinement. 8. Digital Marketing Tip: Serve People, Not Algorithms She emphasizes helping overwhelmed home cooks first—consistent service leads to trust, community, and natural growth. 9. Emotional Impact Matters Her biggest motivators are heartfelt messages, especially widowers learning to cook for the first time because of her tutorials. NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Air Fryers & Cooking “All air fryers are not created equal.” “If you can grill it or bake it, you can usually air‑fry it.” “Buying too small can make you come back and want to upgrade—now you’re wasting money.” On Starting Her Channel “My first check was $1.36… that’s a lot of work for $1.36.” “I believed I was filling a gap… there wasn’t enough good content.” On Content Strategy “They need to know within the first three seconds that you’re going to deliver on your promise.” “In the beginning, you just need to start publishing some crappy videos.” (On practicing, learning, and improving) On Authenticity “I will only share what I can authentically stand behind.” “If I make mistakes, I show them.” On Impact “If I was in a room with 10,000 people, that’s still a lot of impact.” (Perspective on viewer counts) “What matters is that person who felt hopeless now feels empowered.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Let's talk about the question I keep getting: “Why on earth are you starting a farm?” This wasn't random. It wasn't a midlife crisis. And it definitely wasn't me abandoning online business. It was a strategic hedge. If AI is going to disrupt everything (and it will), then I want leverage inside of it — and I also want something completely outside of it. We already owned 15 acres with $300K+ of farming infrastructure. At some point you have to ask: if we're not using it, why are we here? So we chose a premium niche — Valais Blacknose sheep — and built it like I build everything else. LLC. Bank account. Registry. Mentor. Domains. SEO. Audience. Long game. This is not a quick cash play. It's legacy, optionality, tax strategy, land stewardship, and honestly… joy. I'm not leaving funnels. I'm just putting one leg in digital and one leg in analog. If you've ever felt the pull to build something that feels future-proof and a little wild, this one's for you. And if you want to watch the sheep journey in real time, come hang out on Instagram.

    Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz welcomes Bob Cooper, the influential executive who helped transform HBO from a movie channel into a creative powerhouse, producing landmark films like The Josephine Baker Story and Barbarians at the Gate, and who later shaped the theatrical landscape as President of Tri-Star Pictures and head of development and production at Dreamworks, where he championed American Beauty. From prosecuting organized crime in Montreal to greenlighting American Beauty, Bob's career is a lesson in reinvention and risk-taking.Finding Your "And" (00:28): Bob traces his winding path from studying acting at the Pasadena Playhouse to law school to founding Canada's first storefront legal aid office to prosecuting organized crime to hosting a national investigative news program.The Birth of HBO Originals (14:47): When his early Canadian film production company collapsed, Bob flew to New York in desperation and pitched HBO on making original movies, starting with The Terry Fox Story.No Vanilla Allowed (19:34): Bob developed a strategy of bold, true-story-based films that couldn't be seen in theaters or on network TV. The Josephine Baker Story became the blueprint.The Projects Nobody Wanted (22:29): Bob consistently bet on the projects others passed on, championing films like And the Band Played On, Barbarians at the Gate, and The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom.Tristar and Jerry Maguire (28:26): Bob shares how he helped crack the marketing code on Jerry Maguire by identifying its core theme as "a comedy about not selling out.”Dreamworks and American Beauty (37:22): At Dreamworks, Bob got Steven Spielberg to read a script that was almost impossible to pitch – American Beauty. Spielberg read it overnight, called a meeting the next morning, and immediately declared it "an Academy movie."Meet the Parents and the Spielberg Phone Call (41:25): Bob spotted an unmade script at Universal called Meet the Parents and brought it to Spielberg, who simply picked up the phone and called Edgar Bronfman on the spot to acquire it.What Makes Stories Universal (47:15): Bob shares his deepest creative philosophy: that pain is the engine of every great story, including comedy. He closes with a moving account of his current stage project about Bobby Kennedy.Bob Cooper's career is a reminder that unconventional paths often lead to the most enduring work.

    You know what no one tells you about scaling to multiple six figures? I did it with 400 Instagram followers and a hundred people on my email list. When I hit $1.2 million in one year, I had 4,000 followers on Instagram. Not 40,000. Not 400,000. Just 4,000. My email list was about 8,000 at the time, and we didn't even have a website.If you've been spinning your wheels trying to grow your Instagram following because you think that's what's gonna get you clients, this is about to set you free from the content hamster wheel. Here's the truth that the online business world doesn't want you to hear: You don't need a huge audience to build a thriving business.

     In this episode with brand voice and messaging strategist Jen Liddy, we're diving into the layers of messaging that most people completely miss. This isn't about being louder or showing up more. It's about letting the parts of YOU that make you different actually show up in your content. You know your audience's pain points. You're using their words. You're talking about feelings and potential. But something's still missing. Your messaging feels flat and generic, like every other coach in your space. Here's what nobody tells you: The floor of messaging (knowing your audience) is essential. But the nuance, the voice, the personality, and the positioning are what actually make people choose YOU.Here's What We Cover:The 3 nuanced layers of messaging: That sit on top of the foundational "audience-first" work: voice, personality, and positioningThe exact questions to ask past clients and friends to uncover what actually sets you apart (and how to receive those answers without swatting them away)How to position yourself without sounding braggy: Seed your expertise through client stories, micro-stories from everyday life, and examples woven into your contentHow to know if you're boring (spoiler: you're not, and vanilla is a flavor)—the most interesting thing you can do is be genuinely interested in other peopleThe framework vs. personality distinction: Where you land in the client journey matters—are you the "audience-first" person or the "creator-first" person? That's positioning.…and the deeper work that turns good messaging into magnetic messaging.Resources:Jen's Custom GPT for Brand Positioning: https://www.jenliddy.com/SophiaConnect with Jen on LinkedIn: Search "Jen Liddy" (one 'n')Subconscious CEO Identity Quiz (by Mindi Huebner): https://pages.mindihuebner.com/take-the-ceo-reset-quiz

    The more engaged your audience is, the more they learn, remember, and act on your message. Unfortunately, most speakers treat presentations as monologues, delivering content and hoping people pay attention.

    In this episode, I'm walking you through why great podcast editing doesn't start with software, plugins, or secret shortcuts — it starts with knowing your audience. Once you're crystal clear on who you're talking to and what they value, editing becomes a lot easier: you simply remove anything that wastes their time or doesn't deliver value.Editing For ContentI'll share examples from real interviews (including Amy Poehler's “Good Hang” and conversations with my friends Daniel J. Lewis and Katie Krimitsos) to show how to tighten up questions, trim rambling answers, and keep the pace moving so your listeners stay engaged from start to finish.If you've ever listened back to your show and thought, “It's fine…but something feels off,” this one's for you.---Where To start?Editing starts with your audience, not your software Why the first question is, “Who am I talking to and what do they want?” How knowing your audience's problems, language, and attention span guides every cut. The “vegetarian at dinner” analogy: if you know who's coming, you know what not to serve.Did they actually answer the question?Using Amy Poehler's friend and Jennifer Lawrence as an example of a non-answer answer.How to spot when guests talk *around* a question instead of answering it.When to follow up, when to re-ask more simply, and when to just fix it in the edit.Cut the fluff, keep the valueTrimming long-winded questions where the host gives too much backstory.Shortening guest answers that wander, repeat, or add no value to the listener.Why you don't need to include your guest “thinking out loud” to get to the point.Friends, comfort, and wasted timeHow being comfortable with guests (friends, colleagues) can lead to bloated conversations.Why “fun to say” isn't the same as “valuable to hear” for your audience.The discipline of deleting entire questions and answers that just don't land.Content editing vs. cosmetic editing Why removing bad questions is more powerful than removing ums and uhs. When it makes sense to leave in human imperfections for a natural feel. The mindset shift from “How do I make this cleaner?” to “How do I make this stronger?”Basic audio cleanup that actually matters A practical order of operations: repair first, then shape the sound. What plosives, noise gates, compression, EQ, and de-essers do in plain English. Why “listenable”

    Maximize Your Reach: The Power of Repurposing ContentIn this episode, Scott Carson breaks down the "Rinse and Repeat" method, a marketing strategy used by global giants like McDonald's to stay top-of-mind with their audience. Many investors make the mistake of "one and done" marketing—posting a video or sending a letter once and giving up when they don't see immediate results. Scott argues that to truly scale a real estate or note investing business, you must embrace remarketing your content, pitch decks, and case studies to ensure you are seen by more than just the small percentage of followers reached by initial algorithms. By leveraging modern AI tools and strategic scheduling, you can turn a single piece of high-quality content into a continuous lead-generation machine.Key Topics Covered:The McDonald's Marketing Model: Scott explains how major brands run the same 30-second ad thousands of times a week to build brand recognition, contrasting this with the typical investor's "one and done" approach.The 15-Minute Pitch Deck: Learn why a concise, fifteen-minute pitch deck is your most powerful tool for raising capital and how to effectively "chum the water" to attract private investors.AI-Enhanced Repurposing: Discover how to use tools like Gemini to transform one video transcript into multiple SEO-rich blogs, descriptions, and social media posts, making AI think you have more content than you actually do.Strategic Scheduling and Re-streaming: Scott shares his personal workflow for using tools like Restream and Buffer to broadcast live content multiple times and rotate infographics daily to maintain a consistent presence.Leveraging YouTube Analytics: Insights into using your channel's "Audience" data to determine the optimal times for uploading and live-streaming to maximize engagement and algorithm favor.Success in raising capital and closing deals isn't just about creating content; it's about making sure that content is seen repeatedly by your target audience. Most sales are made after the fifth contact, yet most investors stop after the first. By applying the rinse and repeat method—tweaking titles, updating thumbnails, and rescheduling your best assets—you can build the credibility and recognition needed to dominate your local market. As Scott says, don't let your hard work fall on deaf ears; take action, use the tools available, and see you at the top.Watch the Original Video of this Episode HERE!Book a Call With Scott HERE!Sign up for the next FREE One-Day Note Class HERE!Sign up for the WCN Membership HERE!Sign up for the next Note Buying For Dummies Workshop HERE!Love the show?

    At the end of January, Trump's Justice Department released what it said was the last tranche of the Epstein files: millions of pages of emails and texts, F.B.I. documents and court records. Much was redacted and millions more pages have been withheld. There is a lot we want to know that remains unclear.But what has come into clear view is the role Epstein played as a broker of information, connections, wealth and women and girls for a slice of the global elite. This was the infrastructure of Epstein's power — and it reveals much about the infrastructure of elite networks more generally.Anand Giridharadas is something of a sociologist of American elites. He's the author of, among other books, “Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World” and the forthcoming “Man in the Mirror: Hope, Struggle and Belonging in an American City.” He also publishes the great newsletter The.Ink.Back in November, after the release of an earlier batch of Epstein files, Giridharadas wrote a great Times Opinion guest essay, taking a sociologist's lens to the messages Epstein exchanged with his elite friends. So after the government released this latest, enormous tranche of materials, I wanted to talk to Giridharadas to help make sense of it. What do they reveal — about how Epstein operated in the world, the vulnerabilities he exploited and what that says about how power works in America today?Note: This conversation was recorded on Tuesday, Feb. 10. On Thursday, Feb. 12, Kathryn Ruemmler announced she would be resigning from her role as chief legal officer and general counsel at Goldman Sachs.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: Inside the Epstein Emails” by Anand Giridharadas“How JPMorgan Enabled the Crimes of Jeffrey Epstein” by David Enrich, Matthew Goldstein and Jessica Silver-Greenberg“Scams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons: The Untold Story of How Jeffrey Epstein Got Rich” by David Enrich, Steve Eder, Jessica Silver-Greenberg and Matthew GoldsteinBook Recommendations:Random Family by Adrian Nicole LeBlancBehind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine BooUnpublished Work by Conchita SarnoffThoughts?
