President Trump and the modern right have a theory of beauty. You see it in Trump's gilded Oval Office, his imagined arch and his executive order requiring classical and traditional styles for certain federal buildings. This isn't my theory of beauty, but it is a theory. And it's a response, in part, to something that a lot of people have been feeling, and not just on the right: that the modern world is ugly, or getting uglier. I've seen at least a dozen articles or videos over the last few years asking, “Is the world getting uglier?” They point to the drabness of new apartment blocks, the sameness of new cars and the reign of “greige” in homes and fashion. So I've wanted to do an episode on this for a while. Why does the world seem to be getting uglier, or drabber? And at a moment when the right has a clear answer to this feeling, does the left have any answer at all?

Episode 118: "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways." – 1 Corinthians 13:11---As you grow in your life of prayer do you find yourself less in need of both human and divine consolations? What can we learn regarding our growth in spiritual maturity from the widow and her "mite" size offering in Luke's gospel? (See Luke 21:1–4.) Tune in to this episode as author and host Julia Monnin shares some thoughts on "putting an end to childish ways" (not to be confused with "childlike ways") and growing in spiritual maturity. Tying the theme of being purified of our desire to be validated by the world and people around us and instead seeking to please God and God alone, Julia shares with listeners Reflection #77 from her book The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume I titled "An Audience of One"---theworldisnoisy.com | journeysrevealed.com

Don't miss your chance to try this WONDERFUL new tool from one of my mentors and the absolute guru of IG with business Mya Nichol - Grab plug and get paid and get those IG story viewers into Substack subscribers! Yay!! Hello Sparklers,Here's the replay of today's live class delivered on Substack live, where we explored how to gently invite your Instagram audience into your Substack world (and how to keep them there once they arrive). Pour a cup of tea, grab a chocolate biscuit, and settle in if you're catching up? My dms are always open. What we covered1. Your invite matters more than you think. Social media is a scrolling space, so a quick “read my Substack” on a story sticker often isn't enough for someone to leap from one platform to another. We practised the coffee shop exercise... imagine telling a supportive friend about your Substack in a busy café, then capture everything you say. That spoken version holds your passion, your why, your cadence and your story, which is exactly what a cold audience needs to hear.2. Ask yourself “why” five times. This old marketing exercise takes you from “because I want to” all the way down to the life your writing enables. That deeper layer is where your most magnetic invite lives. And tell people when your newsletter lands in their week, so they can picture it arriving.3. Share more, and share it often. If you post one story slide about your newsletter, try five. People need a reason, a motivation and plenty of repetition before they click. You're never taking up too much space.4. The best Substack links for Instagram. We looked at /about (add a subscribe box at the top), /welcome (shows your blurbs as social proof), /subscribe, and individual post links. Remember that paid subscriptions made inside the app can carry Apple fees, and new subscribers will also receive emails from Substack itself, so mention that in your welcome email.Get a friend or colleague to experiment clicking these links from your story (with your own Substack url in place of mine)/subscribe/welcome/about and add the subscribe box button right at the top.5. ManyChat for automated DMs. I showed you how I use comment keywords to deliver Substack links straight into people's DMs. Short trigger words or emojis work best, and “press here” on the button makes life easier for everyone.6. What do you sell in your paid Substack? People pay to be educated, to feel something, to feel part of a community, or to feel activated (and often to support you). Perks, social proof on your About page, and talking about what's happening behind the paywall all help.7. Plug and Get Paid by Mya Nichol. I demoed the tool that's helped my neurodivergent brain turn long-form thinking into Instagram story slides that sell. You plug in your offer and ideal reader, and it builds and analyses your stories for you.Try Plug and Get Paid here: (This is an affiliate link, which means I receive a percentage if you purchase.)Your gentle next step: speak your invite out loud, write down what you hear, and share it on five story slides this week. I know this is a HUGE topic to learn in an hour long class but step by step is always the way. We don't need to go viral loves - we need the right people to find us and I just know they already can't wait to hear what it is you have to say.With sparkle for your biggest brightest social media balanced with Substack self.Claire P.S - Thank you Rachel Jefferies, Kendall Marie Platt
Before TDE, Kate and Hallie had 300 Instagram followers, no framework, and no personal transformation story to pull from. Just 5 months later they have: → over 10,000 followers on Instagram → 18,000 followers on Facebook → 2 Reels with a combined 3+ million views And they're waking up to course sales from complete strangers! I sat down with Kate Alcamo and Hallie Strauss—the powerhouse duo behind the Co-Parent Collective—for one of the most unique TDE case studies I've ever shared. They're both licensed mental health professionals who have never been through a divorce themselves, which meant they had to figure out how to build an origin story and a business without a personal transformation to anchor it. If you're a highly credentialed expert and you want to transfer that to your business, but you haven't experienced what your clients are experiencing—this is the episode you're gonna want to tune into. → Apply for TDE: https://meganyelaney.com/tde → Follow Kate + Hallie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecoparentcollective → Connect with Meg on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney/ → Get the full show notes (with all the links) here: https://meganyelaney.com/2026/09/30/from-no-audience-to-growing-and-going-viral-on-instagram

Why do you feel lonely even when you're surrounded by people? Loneliness isn't a headcount problem. It's a being-known problem, and more people won't fix it. Overview: You have a partner, friends, a group chat that never stops, and you still feel a glass wall in the middle of the room. Brett Ingram explains why that's not a character flaw: being alone and being lonely are two different dials, and loneliness is an accurate signal that no one around you knows the unedited version of you. The standard fix, adding more people, grows the wrong column. The real fix is smaller, quieter, and a little braver: go first with one person. What You'll Discover: Why alone and lonely are independent dials, and why checking the headcount is reading the wrong gauge John Cacioppo's reframe: loneliness is a biological signal like hunger or thirst, not a verdict on your worth Audience vs. witness: you can be drowning in audience and starving for witnesses Why being everyone's safe person isn't the same as having one Why "put yourself out there" backfires: more contact is not more connection The one human need that refuses to be optimized, and why frictionless connection deleted the ingredient that feeds us The One Person Experiment: pick one person, go first, say one true sentence FAQ: Q: Why do I feel lonely even when I'm surrounded by people? A: Because loneliness isn't about how many people are around you. It's the gap between the connection you have and the connection you need. You can have plenty of people you perform for and almost no one who knows the unedited version of you, and that imbalance is what loneliness feels like. Q: What's the difference between being alone and being lonely? A: Being alone is a fact about your surroundings: a headcount. Being lonely is a fact about your experience: the feeling that your connections aren't enough in number, depth, or both. The two are independent, which is why a quiet evening alone can feel peaceful while a packed dinner can feel isolating. Q: How do you stop feeling lonely when you already have people in your life? A: Deepen instead of add. Pick one person who has earned a little trust and go first: answer "how are you?" with one true sentence instead of "good, busy." Being known requires being shown, and the safety usually comes after you go, not before.

What's missing is one wall coming down with one of them.
Bill Gates thinks A.I. alarmism hasn't gone far enough. He believes the years ahead will be marred by catastrophic cyberattacks, bio-terrorism and mass job loss unless the government acts, because he thinks the idea that the A.I. industry can just self-regulate is “insane.” I was struck in the conversation by how genuinely afraid Gates seemed to be that we are not ready for the consequences of what we are building, and how emphatic he was that so many of the people in positions of authority are in complete denial about what he thinks is about to happen.Gates is a pioneering technologist, the co-founder of Microsoft and the chair of Gates Foundation, which is set to spend down around $200 billion over the next two decades. He recently announced that trying to make A.I. a force for equality in the world, as opposed to an impetus for inequality, is a new priority of his foundation's work.(The New York Times has sued OpenAI and Microsoft claiming copyright infringement. The companies have denied those claims.)Mentioned:“The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical.” by Bill Gates“The Risks of A.I.

George Wright III interviews Jerome Knyszewski, founder and CEO of Authority Magazines, about how he built Valiant CEO from an online marketing and reputation need: entrepreneurs struggled to get credible legacy-media features, so he created an open-door WordPress-based publication that has done 10,000 interviews in about four years and never charges to publish. He emphasizes controlling the narrative through guided, strategic Q&A (including FAQs and “should ask” questions), strong content guardrails (no politics, religion, lewd content, certain industries), and an ad-light reading experience to avoid distraction and SEO “bad neighborhood” risks. The conversation highlights the power of third-party validation, comparing it to book endorsements. A pivotal moment came when verified submissions from notable names like Grant Cardone led to producing monthly cover-style issues, which snowballed credibility and attracted more high-profile covers. Audience demand and niche fit drove expansion into a network of about a dozen publications; optional paid upgrades only accelerate publishing timelines.00:00 Third Party Validation00:47 Meet Authority Magazines01:14 Origin Story In France02:06 Building Valiant CEO03:38 Control The Narrative04:52 No Ads Reader First06:58 Crafting Better Interviews10:00 Social Proof Explained11:35 Grant Cardone Cover Pivot15:28 Why The Covers Stand Out18:28 FAQ And Should Ask Questions21:27 Most Founders Lack Messaging23:09 Expanding Into New Niches26:49 Free Publishing Paid PriorityThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

On today's episode of Ask Zac, we dive into the world of guitar wireless systems, specifically when and why you should consider ditching your instrument cable.From small casino stages to massive stages with thrusts, we look at how going wireless impacts your stage presence, overall safety, tone, and performance workflow. I also share a few embarrassing lessons I've learned the hard way (including a dropout mid-solo on a giant stage) so you can avoid making the same mistakes!Key Topics Covered:Why Go Wireless? The freedom of stage movement, safety from electrical shocks, and eliminating trip hazards/cable management.When to Make the Switch: Why cables work fine on tiny stages, but wireless becomes essential as stage size and performance expectations grow.The "Soundcheck Hack": How wireless lets you step out front into the audience area to hear what your rig actually sounds like through the PA.Tone & Pickup Buffering: Does wireless ruin your tone? We break down capacitance, signal buffering, and do an A/B audio comparison between a cable and a wireless unit.Pedalboard vs. Rack Units: Choosing the right tool for the job, when a pedalboard unit works vs. when you need a professional rackmount setup with external antennas.Video Chapters:0:00 - Intro: Talking to My Younger Self1:25 - Do You Need Wireless on Small Stages?3:00 - Stage Size & Showmanship Expectations4:25 - Real-World Story: Cabling vs. Stage Movement6:00 - Entertaining the Audience & Stage Freedom7:20 - Big Stages, Thrusts, and Cable Nightmares8:30 - Does Wireless Ruin Your Tone?11:08 - Stage Safety & Shock Prevention11:39 - Gear Review: Shure GLXD+ Pedalboard Wireless14:08 - Bodypack Placement & Guitar Switching Tips15:57 - Soundcheck Hack: Hearing Yourself Out Front16:37 - A/B Sound Test: Wireless vs. D'Addario Cable18:23 - Pickup Buffering & Capacitance Explained19:15 - What to Avoid: Cheap Units & Big Stage Dropouts20:50 - Final Thoughts on Showmanship & Wrapping UpGear Featured in This Episode:Shure GLXD+ Digital Wireless Pedalboard SystemD'Addario Instrument CablesIf you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share it with a fellow gear head.

Samuel was impressed by tall, kingly Eliab, but God chose the overlooked shepherd boy David. God looks straight at the heart. When you learn what God values, it changes how you see yourself, your spouse, and your kids. And it frees you from chasing everybody else's applause. Let's talk about what really leaves an impression on God. Christian Healthcare Ministries: https://CHMinistries.org/Kirk Check Your Registration - https://tools.vote.online/embeds/chec...

Welcome to the latest season of The Publisher Podcast, bringing you the best of the main stage sessions from The Publisher Summit. This week's episode features Liz Wynn, Chief Supporter Revenue Officer at The Guardian, interviewed by Craig Llewelyn-Williams, SVP for Customer Strategy at Woodwing. Everyone is feeling the effects of industry headwinds like falling traffic, AI summaries and unreliable social media referrals. The message is clear for those seeking growth: building direct audiences is a top priority. The Guardian has seen heavy investment in apps, newsletters, podcasts and its websites over the past few years, from key hires to app launches like Feast. This is paying off in both audience growth and revenue, with their email subscribers alone going from 1 million to 8 million in just 2 years. Liz has helped drive the business to over 1.4m recurring supporters. She talks about the importance of direct connections, how the Guardian's product strategy supports those relationships, and what works across different geographies, particularly in the context of the Guardian's US expansion. Thanks to the Summit's premium sponsors; Pugpig and Beehiiv, and to the digital sponsors; qwoted, Adestra, Woodwing and Warners for their support.
Ruth Price did not wait for Arizona's creative community to find her. She started a newsletter, gathered people around design, art, architecture, and food, and built what became Desert Design Week.In Episode 231 of On The Delo, Ruth shares how moving from Romania to Oregon and eventually Arizona shaped her eye for place, preservation, and possibility. She and Delo discuss the growth of Desert Design Week, its decentralized choose-your-own-experience format, the launch of a companion publication, and why food belongs in any honest conversation about design and culture.Ruth also explains how she found a niche in design-led real estate, why her 4:30 a.m. reading and writing ritual matters, and how travel keeps her curious. Her closing advice is simple and powerful: stop comparing yourself to everyone else, put your blinders on, and do your thing.CHAPTER GUIDE :(0:15 - 3:42) Romania, Oregon, and Building a Life in Arizona(3:43 - 7:03) Preservation and Creating Future Architectural Gems(7:04 - 9:58) From a Newsletter to Desert Design Week(9:59 - 14:44) Growth, Audience, and a Decentralized Festival(14:45 - 19:22) Curating Experiences, Food, and First Bites of Phoenix(19:23 - 22:37) Finding a Niche in Design-Led Real Estate(22:38 - 26:55) Morning Rituals, Coffee, Travel, and Research(26:56 - 30:09) Creative Community, Tickets, and Staying Connected(30:10 - 33:53) Arizona Food Favorites and Rapid Fire(33:54 - 35:44) Stop Comparing Yourself and Do Your Thing
Does God care whether you are good at your job or not? Dorothy Sayers famously noted that the first thing the church should tell a carpenter isn't just moral rules, but: Make good tables. When the church goes silent on excellence, culture lowers the bar with "Quiet Quitting" and "Bare Minimum Mondays".In Part 2 of Faith at Work, Pastor Tom Kang explores Exodus 31 and the story of Bezalel—the very first person in Scripture described as being filled with the Spirit of God. He wasn't a priest or prophet, but a blue-collar craftsman gifted with hokmâ (skill and craftsmanship). Because Jesus already did all things well on the cross, we don't work for God's approval—we work from His approval. Learn how to pursue excellence for an Audience of One and discover the freedom of putting the chisel down to rest.
The Holy Spirit doesn't just want to do something IN you, He wants to do something THROUGH you.[Acts 1:8] But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere--in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."Jesus promises us POWER, but He attaches the power to a PURPOSE.God's power was never intended to STOP with you.[1 Corinthians 12:4, 7] There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. [7] A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.The gift may be given TO me, but it isn't only FOR me.[1 Peter 4:10 NIV] Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.My gift isn't a TROPHY to display; it's GRACE to give away.[1 Corinthians 4:7b] What do you have that God hasn't given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?I don't have to BE the source, I just have to stay CONNECTED to the Source.[1 Corinthians 12:7] A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.The church isn't an AUDIENCE it's a BODY.[1 Corinthians 12:27] All of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is a part of it.Nobody has EVERYTHING, but everybody has SOMETHING.[1 Corinthians 12:21] The eye can never say to the hand, "I don't need you." The head can't say to the feet, "I don't need you."God didn't design us to be SELF-SUFFICIENT, He designed us to NEED each others.[Acts 3:6] But Peter said, "I don't have any silver or gold for you. But I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!"The Holy Spirit doesn't empower you to make you IMPRESSIVE; He empowers you to make a DIFFERENCE.

John Lilic is co-founder and chief strategy officer of Tria, a self-custodial neo-finance platform for spending, trading and earning across chains. One of crypto's longest-serving builders, he worked at the Bitcoin Center in New York City in 2014 before joining ConsenSys as one of its first employees, spending six years helping to build the Ethereum ecosystem. Why you should listen Most neobanks ask users to hand over their assets. Tria's pitch is that you can have the one-tap convenience of a fintech app without doing so. Lilic explains how the product routes assets across chains while leaving the user in custody at all times, so money can move from an Earn vault to a card top-up to a trading position on Hyperliquid or Decibel without Tria ever holding it. He argues this is more than a philosophical distinction. Self-custody has let Tria grow in Korea and Japan, markets where offering custodial products has become increasingly difficult, and where supporting many chains matters because communities such as XRP holders are so large. He also makes the case that when users move funds to themselves rather than deposit into a custodian, they keep control over when a taxable disposal occurs. The larger idea, and the one Tria is taking to institutions, is that any company with a large audience can now become a financial company. Composable on-chain infrastructure means a streaming service, a marketplace or a community app can offer its users wallets, cards and tailored rewards without building a bank from scratch. Lilic walks through the music platform Lissen, which is launching on Tria's infrastructure, and a more ambitious use: tracking the real-world spending that follows an artist into a venue. That attribution data, he argues, could let a venue plan for a show, measure its value afterwards, and eventually support credit products that advance artists money against future bookings rather than making them wait months for royalties. In the hot take round, Lilic moves to the subject he is best known for outside Tria: quantum computing. He argues that cryptographically relevant quantum machines could threaten the elliptic curve cryptography that secures the entire industry sooner than most expect, and that the long-term future of money may rest on physics rather than protocols. It leads him to a pointed view on Ethereum's reversal of The DAO hack, which he calls a mistake, and a thesis that quantum-based systems would remove the option of reversing finality altogether.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, has been one of the most argued-over candidates this election cycle. If he wins, he'd be the first-ever Muslim senator, and he's faced a torrent of attacks about his faith. The race has also become a proving ground for a lot of questions about the Democratic Party and its future: What should U.S. policy toward Israel and the Palestinians be? Is the future of health care reform Medicare for all? Can a left-wing populist win in a state that twice voted for Donald Trump?There's been so much more heat than light in this race, so I wanted to invite El-Sayed on the show for a longer conversation. We talked about his upbringing, his views on U.S. foreign policy, his work on health care reform and what he would actually do if elected in November.

"Saved by the Bell" is a sitcom revival that premiered on Peacock in 2020, returning viewers to the halls of Bayside High nearly three decades after the original gang graduated. When California Governor Zack Morris closes several underfunded high schools, students from those schools are transferred to the much wealthier Bayside, where they quickly discover just how different their worlds are. Critics were surprisingly receptive to this return to Bayside, praising the show's sharp writing, self-aware humor. Audience reaction was more divided, due to its heavy handed satire and social commentary. So is this trip back to Bayside worthy of a time out, or should this bell have stayed unrung? Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive the "Saved by the Bell" pilot episode and find out. Starring: Haskiri Velazquez, Mitchell Hoog, Josie Totah, Alycia Pascual-Pena, Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden, John Michael Higgins, Elizabeth Berkley, Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen, & Ed Alonzo www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD
What makes an ending feel surprising without feeling random?The best twists don't blindside the audience. They blindside the character.In this episode, Zena Dell Lowe explores how storytellers can create endings that satisfy two seemingly opposite desires: the audience's desire to be surprised and their need for the story to make sense.The key is disruption. Give your protagonist a real plan, then blow it up with something beyond their reasonable control. Plant that disruption properly, and the audience gets to discover the way out alongside the character—rather than feeling like the writer simply pulled a surprise out of nowhere.Zena also explains why intelligent antagonists make stronger sources of dramatic conflict than bad luck, how disruption reveals true character, and why the best endings feel surprising in the moment and inevitable in hindsight.If you're a writer, storyteller, novelist, screenwriter, or anyone trying to craft a stronger ending, this episode will give you a new way to think about twists, foreshadowing, conflict, and payoff.Subscribe to The Storyteller's Mission so you don't miss the next episode.Watch this episode on YouTubeFree Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

There's a site template for that. Module name/project name: Convivial Gov Brief history Created in March 2026 by Morpht, the shop behind the Convivial family — with Ivan Zugec leading the maintainer team. Versions available: 1.3.3, which works with Drupal 11 Maintainership Actively maintained: release just last week, on September 16th Security coverage Test coverage: functional tests for install and validation, plus a kernel requirements test. Documentation there's a full handbook over at docs.morpht.com, and a live demo at gov.convivial.io Open issues: none? Site template features and usage Like the Haven site template we talked about a couple of weeks ago, Convivial Gov gives you a curated stack plus demo content, and in this case hands you a robust, ready-to-customize government site. Because it's built on Drupal CMS, you get all the latest Drupal tooling: Canvas for visual page building, Single Directory Components, and Recipes. The front end is Morpht's Morphos theme, built on Tailwind and DaisyUI, so you get dark mode, multiple colour palettes, and a big library of editor-friendly components out of the box. It's worth mentioning that using the Morphos theme on a production site requires a paid license The provided components are sorted into six buckets: container, content, child, element, background, and behavior. They include fun ones like scroll reveal and a colour palette switching behavior The content model is broad. You get seven content types: Page, Section, Article, Publication, Resource, Topic, and Audience. And, they come with a stack of teaser and card view modes to display them. The whole point is no-code: a site builder can compose sophisticated pages in Canvas without ever touching a template. One thing to watch: the default timezone is Australia/Sydney out of the box It's also worth comparing Convivial Gov to another site template called Local. Both dropped in March 2026, both are Canvas-based Drupal CMS site templates for the public sector, and both lean on ECA for automation — so there's real common ground. The difference is scope and mechanism. Local, from Annertech, is narrowly purpose-built for local councils and community-service directories: it ships a specific service information architecture — Service and Service Landing content types — with ECA wired so section pages stay in sync when service pages get published or updated, taking its cues from the gov.uk design system. Convivial Gov goes the other way — it's design-system-led and general-purpose, a broad component library and content model meant for any government, agency, or marketing site rather than one particular workflow.
Jensen Huang might just be the single most influential person in artificial intelligence today.Huang is the chief executive of Nvidia, the company that designs nearly all the chips and infrastructure that the rest of the industry relies on. This has made Nvidia the most valuable company in the world and has made Huang incredibly influential in the Trump administration.And unlike many of the leaders of the frontier labs, Huang doesn't think A.I. could wipe out humanity. He thinks that the doomers are just scaring people, and that the industry doesn't need new regulation at all. I wanted to hear how he saw it, so I flew out to Nvidia's headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., to talk to him. Mentioned:“Pacing the Frontier”“When A.I.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Joe Pulizzi, founder of Content Marketing Institute, author, and creator of The Tilt newsletter. Joe shares his perspective on how individuals and organizations can stand out in an increasingly crowded and AI-driven content landscape. We explore the concept of finding your "tilt," why differentiation and consistency are critical to building trust, and how owning your audience can create long-term resilience. Joe also offers practical insights into collaboration, personal branding, and how tourism leaders can position themselves for what's next. What You Will Learn in This Episode: What Joe Pulizzi means by finding your "tilt" and why it's essential for differentiation How to identify the intersection between your expertise and your audience's needs Why consistency is one of the biggest predictors of success in content and audience building How AI is reshaping content creation and what opportunities still exist right now Why owning your audience (especially through email) is more important than ever How organizations can build trust by elevating individual voices instead of relying solely on corporate messaging What role collaboration and strategic partnerships play in amplifying your reach and impact Finding Your Tilt: The Intersection of Expertise and Need Joe explains that many organizations start their content strategy by focusing on what they want to say or sell, but overlook the importance of differentiation. The concept of "the tilt" challenges leaders to think more strategically about what they want to be known and needed for, and how that aligns with the specific needs of their audience. He encourages a practical approach: identifying areas of expertise or passion and pairing them with clearly defined audience challenges. This intersection becomes the foundation for meaningful content and messaging. For tourism professionals, this could mean moving beyond broad destination messaging to focus on a distinct, ownable narrative that resonates deeply with a specific audience segment. Trust, Consistency, and the Power of Owned Audiences A central theme in Joe's perspective is that success in content and audience-building comes down to two things: consistency and trust. Many organizations struggle not because of a lack of ideas, but because they stop showing up. Sustained, valuable content delivered over time is what builds meaningful relationships. Joe also emphasizes the importance of owning your audience, particularly through email. While social platforms provide reach, they are ultimately rented space. Email, on the other hand, represents a direct, permission-based relationship that organizations control. In an environment where algorithms are constantly changing, this ownership becomes a critical long-term asset for destinations and brands alike. Human Connection, Collaboration, and the Future of Content As AI continues to transform how content is created and distributed, Joe believes the differentiator will increasingly be human connection. Audiences are drawn to real people, authentic voices, and expertise they can trust. This shift is leading organizations to rethink how they communicate, moving toward a "trust portfolio" made up of multiple individual voices rather than a single corporate channel. At the same time, Joe reinforces that differentiation does not mean isolation. Strategic collaboration—whether through partnerships, guest content, or shared platforms—can significantly expand reach and credibility. By aligning with others who serve the same audience, organizations can amplify their message while still maintaining a clear and distinct point of view.

OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES & ASTRAL TRAVEL ADVENTURES Many people are talking about how to have an out of body experience, but in truth we can be out of body more than we are in body. What happens when we are out of body at night when our body is asleep? Do we visit different realms, dead loved ones or hang out with ET's? How do we remember these nightly astral adventures consciously ? And how does it impact our daily lives?

If your confidence depends on audience approval, it stays outside your control. Build it through self-trust and congruency instead. See where you stand: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc How can you become more confident when speaking? Speaking confidence becomes difficult to sustain when it depends on whether other people agree with you, approve of your ideas, or respond as you hope. Dr. Grace explains confidence as a continuum grounded in trust, particularly the ability to trust yourself. That self-trust develops through congruency between your thoughts, words, and actions. When the condition for confidence becomes internal rather than dependent on audience reactions, confidence becomes more stable and more within your control. Key Concepts Confidence as a Continuum: Confidence is not a permanent destination. You may become confident speaking in one setting and encounter a new situation that requires you to develop confidence again. Self-Trust: Confidence begins with being able to trust yourself rather than relying on other people to respond in a particular way. Audience approval, agreement, and reactions remain outside your control. Congruency: Self-trust develops when your thoughts, words, and actions are consistent with one another. When what you communicate reflects what you think and what you will do, you have a stronger basis for trusting yourself. Internal Conditions for Confidence: Confidence becomes more stable when its condition is internal. Instead of requiring a particular response from others, you can examine whether you can think clearly, communicate congruently, and act consistently with what you say. Where do you most need stronger congruency between what you think, say, and do? Show notes and free resources: https://CareerRevisionist.com/episode260 Do you want to move up in executive leadership?

I'm going to share something with you and I'm not trying to brag, but lean in and listen carefully...... The audience......you know the one you thought you could fool and manipulate? Well, they got smarter in the last year and a half. And it's all thanks to tech and the advancements of A.I. Your everyday consumer is on ChatGPT, watches tons of media daily and is woke to your cleverly concocted offers. But here's the bad news for you...... You're going to have to work differently to keep their attention. Engage them better. And provide an irresistable offer no one else (including A.I.) has thought about........ We're doing things a bit differently at Closer Cap and stacking our tech like Godzilla and King Kong. If you're not sure where to go, you've got to start with what you're offering to help people with. Bring your notepad for this one. And get ready to put in some work!

Everyone wants the overnight success story. The viral post. The huge launch. The audience that appears seemingly out of nowhere. But the truth is that the biggest results are usually built through the least exciting strategy: consistently showing up over time. In this episode, Eleanor breaks down why consistency is one of the most underrated skills entrepreneurs need to develop, and shares the two powerful things showing up consistently communicates to your marketplace.

Fears of out-of-control A.I. have reached a boil over the last few weeks, and several industry executives have called for a coordinated slowdown of A.I. development. But if our goal is to control A.I. — and that should be our goal — slowing down isn't enough. We need to stop the labs from doing something they're already on the cusp of doing: recursive self-improvement, or handing over the training of A.I. models to A.I.Mentioned:“We're Not Losing Control of A.I. We're Giving It Away.” by Ezra KleinYou can find the transcript and more episodes of “The Ezra Klein Show” at nytimes.com/ezra-klein-podcast.

Ed Sheeran performed his first concert since Macklemore was dropped from his opening act for his “Free Palestine” statements two weekends ago. The remainder of Sheeran’s openers all left the tour in solidarity with Macklemore, and so Sheeran stood on the stage at Lincoln Financial in Philly and tearfully told fans he was “so, so sorry.” We play his three minute apology and explanation for what happened and share our thoughts on seeing and hearing Sheeran read his prepared statements, carefully trying to NOT piss anyone else off in the process.
