The pace, scale and sophistication of RIA marketing has accelerated into hyperspace in the last 10 years. There are new business models in wealth management and, thus, new voices and sources of trust. The speed of content creation and publishing is increasing- especially with newer artificial intelligence tools. Social media has made the scope and reach of marketing efforts enormous -- and required firms to be data scientists as much as financial advisers. Finally, where once the firm drove the branding in the RIA space, there appears to be a move back to the star system - where recognizable names create the light that attracts clients. Enter RICHARD HEFT, President of EXT MARKETING - His firm focuses on marketing for RIA's, asset managers, and other financial institutions. The development and execution of marketing strategies are accelerating well past the leadership of the typical RIA. They have to prove to the market that their inorganic growth efforts are real and sustainable in a crowded (and often bland and undifferentiated) space. Richard tells us what he is seeing in the RIA Marketing space. Background- What does EXT do? Richard Heft EXT Marketing What was the opportunity you saw? What is "Marketing" vs Marketing for Financial Institutions? vs. RIA Marketing? Differences Regulation Other cultural issues Where does RIA Marketing stop and PR start as part of larger strategy?

Boats, Piers, Forests Couples at the Beach New demographics, new ideas Measurement - What does marketing success look like from the agency perspective?

Weirdly enough, many people choose to suffer, are addicted to the struggle, or think their anxiety and stress are normal. But here's Sam Skelly's truth: everything you need to live the life you want, everything you need to be the person you want to be is already inside of you. As an international speaker, best-selling author, wellness coach expert, and breathwork facilitator, Sam knows a thing or two about growth, transformation, and recovery. After struggling with disordered eating and body image issues for years, she discovered the power of breathwork, which led her to start her own journey of healing.  Since then she has founded two companies, Pause Breathwork and Hungry for Happiness in hopes to help others overcome their own pain and struggles. Her mission is to reduce human suffering by increasing human consciousness through the power of breathwork, one human at a time. To put it simply, " you are perfect, your body is the healer, and you already have everything you need to experience sustainable transformation." Sponsorship Curious about Soul?

In this episode of Exploring Art Podcast Case, join us as we focus on gender styles in art and try to determine who painted the Portrait of Mademoiselle Charlotte du Val d'Ognes. Background: What do Art Historians do? Art historians study the visual arts and its identifying features throughout history. https://www.britannica.com/art/art-history (Links to an external site.) Look up the history of the Louvre The Louvre was originally created to be a fortress for royalty in the 17th century but was converted into a museum in the 18th century and displayed a variety of collections. https://www.livescience.com/31935-louvre-museum.html (Links to an external site.) Look up Frans Hal life and work Frans Hal was a Dutch art dealer and restorer who dealt with a lot of portraiture. Look up Judith Leyster life and work She was an active artists in the town of Harlem and painted a variety of works including portraits and still lifes. What do critics do? Critics judge the usefulness of professional pieces of art work. Look up the history of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and filled with many collections. In the 19th century some Americans wanted to bring art and art education to the American people, so they created a museum open to the public Look up Jacques Louis David life and work French Artist during the french revolution and painted many leaders and martyrs in a representational style. He focused on portraits and even painted for Napoleon. Look up Constance Charpentier life and work French painter who specialized in portraits of mostly children and women. Are there some kinds of weaknesses or mistakes that are clues to the gender of the artist? Can we read from the properties of paintings to such characteristics as the artist's social condition or religious convictions or emotional state? The Metropolitan Museum of Art now lists the Portrait of Mademoiselle Charlotte du Val d'Ognes as "by an unknown artist." Does such indeterminacy about the identity painter affect how we see the

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: You should write about your job, published by Aaron Gertler on the AI Alignment Forum. If you have a job, you are one of the world's foremost experts on your job — at least within the EA community, which is not large. Jobs are a useful thing to know about. We spend more time on them than anything else, and most of our impact comes from jobs + their outcomes (e.g. salary). Thus, I think people should write more posts that talk about: How they got their jobs What they learned in the process of getting hired What it's like to work at their job, day-to-day If you have a job, there's a chance that writing about it is one of the best ways you could contribute to the Forum. And you can do it without reading anything, or having any opinions whatsoever! Jobs are mysterious... The job market, both inside and outside of EA, feels weird and mysterious and intimidating to a lot of people: Almost everyone gets rejected from most jobs they apply for. Almost no jobs provide feedback to applicants. Almost all job applications go toward the small fraction of jobs with the most applicants, which creates the impression that the average job is more competitive than it actually is (see many comments on this post). Almost all jobs are more about "content" than "topic": your experience with them depends on what you actually do with your time, rather than what the job is "about". ...but they don't have to be Almost everyone gets a job — and within the EA community, almost everyone gets a job with some kind of relevant upside (good money, skills training, networking, etc.) Even if few people get their first-choice job, they tend to end up doing something that someone else in EA might also want to do. People who get a job know a lot about the application process for that job, and what that job entails — more than anyone else who hasn't had exactly that job. "Job posts" can help Just reading about how something happens, in detail, can make it seem less mysterious and intimidating — like the hiring process for a given job It's also good to hear about the journey involved in finding a job, and the ways in which it isn't always smooth or flawless (even people who get jobs typically get lots of rejections, too) If someone wants to do the same kind of job you do, writing a job post helps them in multiple ways; they can read it, and they can ask you questions! Your job doesn't have to be with an EA-aligned organization. This kind of resource is hard to find even in bigger fields, and many existing examples have problems (written by someone who wants to sell you something, written by people who won't respond to questions, ten years out of date, etc.) Jobs outside EA that will be relevant to many Forum readers might include: PhD student Programmer (though this might be the job with the best existing "literature") Academic researcher Journalist Biologist Anything that involves working with public policy If you're not sure whether people want to know about your job, leave a comment here to find out What a job post might look like Here's my suggestion for a minimum viable job post. It's fine to start minimal, because people who want to know more can leave a comment! Or message you with a question! Background: What were some past jobs or other experiences that helped you prepare for getting your current job? Which ones would you especially recommend? Bonus: What other, irrelevant stuff did you "waste time" on? This helps readers (a) avoid doing irrelevant things, and (b) understand that it's possible to get a job even without a perfect, focused resume. Application process: What was it like to apply to your job? Were there parts of the process you wish you'd prepared for differently? Bonus: What other jobs did you apply for? Which ones rejected you? How far did you get, and how much time did that take? This...

This week we examine the recent G7 Summit and responses to the meeting between world leaders over their goals toward unifying against threats from Russia and China.  This week, as we pick up recent coverage of Vice President Kammala's southern trip, and how it became mired in controversy following problematic statements the VP made when confronted by the media about the Biden Administration's immigration policies. Meanwhile, a shake up has occurred in Israel as a narrow vote has ousted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has remained in power for more than a decade. Then getting to the heart of the discussion, we turn our attention toward the 2021 G7 Summit in Cornwall, England, and the response from the international community to the meeting of world leaders. Among the focus of their discussions had been a new global corporate tax, the ongoing battle against COVID-19, and other issues. However, much of the focus of this year's summit also had to do with those countries who were not in attendance--namely China and Russia--and what the response from the G7 member countries should be in the years ahead as the rise of Autocracies in the East remain ever present.

Have you always wanted the opportunity to ask your Financial Planner or Advisor? Not quite sure where to start or how to format your questions in the right way to get the information you need? In this episode, Rebecca goes right back to the basics that will give you an insight into how the Financial Advisor world works. It's important to firstly note that there is a difference between a Financial Advisor/Planner and a ‘Money Coach, Business Coach' etc., the main (and very important) difference is the Financial Conduct Authority (‘FCA'). Anyone who is going to give you actual financial advice have to be authorised by the FCA and follow the rules and guidelines implemented by them. Someone who works with a ‘coach' style status do not have to work within a regulated environment, meaning that any advice they provide you does not have any protection and it would be your fault if you acted on the information and it didn't work out. There are also people who work under both (such as myself!) and its really important you are clear which type of advice you are obtaining. Both have excellent qualities, its all about you knowing which would work for you and your circumstance! So which questions should you be asking first? BACKGROUND – What is your background? What experience have you had? What qualifications do you have? PRICING AND PROCESS – What should you expect? How long will this take? When do you expect to see results? How is the relationship going to work? How much would it cost (don't be scared to ask for a breakdown!)? Are there pricing plans available? REGULATION (if you decide to go with a Financial Advisor) - What kind of advice can you offer (as regulated it may be restricted)? Do you hold the correct authorisation to offer me this advice? Are you freelance or with a firm? Who owns me (and my information) as a Client? Getting the right questions at the beginning can really assist you when doing your due diligence to ensure you pick the right person for you. This could be a relationship that lasts a lifetime, so you want to make the right choice! More about your host: Rebecca Robertson is an award winning author, TedX speaker, founder and Independent Financial Adviser with 20 years' experience in financial advice.   I'm passionate about empowering women to take control of their finances, gain confidence in planning thier financial future and creating structures and processes for you to succeed.    I will debunk the jargon, make it understandable and tailor my services that best suit your needs.

Have you always wanted the opportunity to ask your Financial Planner or Advisor? Not quite sure where to start or how to format your questions in the right way to get the information you need? In this episode, Rebecca goes right back to the basics that will give you an insight into how the Financial Advisor world works. It's important to firstly note that there is a difference between a Financial Advisor/Planner and a ‘Money Coach, Business Coach' etc., the main (and very important) difference is the Financial Conduct Authority (‘FCA'). Anyone who is going to give you actual financial advice have to be authorised by the FCA and follow the rules and guidelines implemented by them. Someone who works with a ‘coach' style status do not have to work within a regulated environment, meaning that any advice they provide you does not have any protection and it would be your fault if you acted on the information and it didn't work out. There are also people who work under both (such as myself!) and its really important you are clear which type of advice you are obtaining. Both have excellent qualities, its all about you knowing which would work for you and your circumstance! So which questions should you be asking first? BACKGROUND – What is your background? What experience have you had? What qualifications do you have? PRICING AND PROCESS – What should you expect? How long will this take? When do you expect to see results? How is the relationship going to work? How much would it cost (don't be scared to ask for a breakdown!)? Are there pricing plans available? REGULATION (if you decide to go with a Financial Advisor) - What kind of advice can you offer (as regulated it may be restricted)? Do you hold the correct authorisation to offer me this advice? Are you freelance or with a firm? Who owns me (and my information) as a Client? Getting the right questions at the beginning can really assist you when doing your due diligence to ensure you pick the right person for you. This could be a relationship that lasts a lifetime, so you want to make the right choice!

Sleep apnea is common and can cause significant symptoms. But how can it be treated and how do you decide what treatment to use?  Historically treatment choices have been made based on the severity of sleep apnea. However, treatment can be more personalised by assessing airway anatomy and physiology. With the help of Prof Stuart Mackay and Dr Brad Edwards, we discuss the latest research and talk through how to treat sleep apnea. Dr Moira Junge (Health Psychologist) and Dr David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) host the monthly podcast, Sleep Talk, talking all things sleep.
