In this episode, Mike and Ben are joined by Rob, the creator of Oink, to break down the recent turmoil inside the Amazon Influencer Program, including reporting issues, messaging outages, confusion around Creator Connections reporting, and the removal of Halo sales.This conversation is centered around what these Amazon Influencer Program changes actually mean for creators and, more importantly, what you should be focusing on next. While many creators are frustrated by broken reports and shifting data, the core fundamentals of the program have not changed. Mike, Ben, and Rob talk through why creators need to stop obsessing over short-term reporting problems and get back to the things that still move the needle: product research, consistency, strategy, and making quality videos that answer real buyer questions.The episode also covers how the Amazon Influencer Program is continuing to evolve, including new opportunities around Creator Connections, sponsored clicks, offsite traffic, mobile app video carousels, Amazon Live, and Creator Rewards bonuses. Ben shares how shifting more of his focus toward YouTube, Creator Connections, and offsite traffic has helped improve results and create a more diversified income stream.Mike, Ben, and Rob also talk about why creators should be thinking beyond free samples and start building stronger brand relationships, using better content and data to negotiate smarter opportunities. They discuss why authenticity matters more than ever, why unboxing videos alone are not enough, and how better long-form content, buyer-focused videos, and stronger execution can help creators stay competitive even when the platform changes.If you are an Amazon Influencer trying to understand the latest reporting changes, Halo sales removal, Creator Connections updates, and what still works inside the Amazon Influencer Program, this episode will help you cut through the noise and refocus on the right things.____________________JOIN THE COMMUNITYIf you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, and honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator's Leverage Guild was built for exactly that.Learn more and join here:Creator's Leverage Guild_____________________WORK 1-ON-1 WITH MIKE AND BENGet personalized guidance on content strategy, monetization, brand deals, and scaling your creator business.• Book a 1-hour coaching call• Save with a 4-session coaching packageSign Me Up!_________________________JOIN OUR FREE FACEBOOK COMMUNITYConnect with other Amazon Influencers and content creators, ask questions, and stay up to date on what is working right now.Amazon Influencer Success Facebook Group_________________________TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR CREATORSViral VueMake smarter content decisions and grow faster.Try Viral Vue hereUse code STRAHL10 for 10% off for lifeOinkTrack earnings and performance across platforms.Try Oink hereUse code STRAHL10 for 10% off for lifeDescriptEdit podcasts and videos faster and easier.Check out Descript hereGeniuslinks: Our #1 Deeplinking Pick!Try Geniuslinks!VidiQ: Our #1 pick for YouTube channel Insights!Try VidIQKeepa: Makes advanced product research for AIP a breeze!Try KeepaLasso: Deeplinking for Blogs & YouTubeGet LassoKadence WP: Great amazing websites for blogsTry KadenceAffiliate links.

Bad news is everywhere.Turn on the TV, scroll your phone, or simply walk through your own life and it can feel like the weight of the world is pressing in. Sometimes the headlines are overwhelming, and sometimes the hardest news is the kind that happens quietly inside our own homes.The truth is, we were never created to carry the constant flood of information, fear, and heartbreak that surrounds us every day.But even in the middle of it all, there is still good news.Not the kind that depends on circumstances changing or everything suddenly working out the way we hoped. The kind of good news that never changes.Jesus.In this episode, we talk honestly about how heavy the world can feel and why the message of Jesus is still the greatest news we will ever hear. When everything around us feels uncertain, God is still working, still present, and still making a way.If you've been feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world, or by the struggles in your own life, this conversation is an encouragement for you.Because no matter what is happening…there is always good news when Jesus is the center of the story.Song: Lofi Chill Hip Hop Beat - SpringVibes (youngfrenchy808)We would like to pray for you.

Chuck Todd breaks down the Texas primary results and finds a political landscape that should terrify the Republican establishment. Ken Paxton and John Cornyn are headed to a runoff on the GOP side, but the headline number is stunning: Democrats posted a higher overall vote total than Republicans in the Texas primary, a seismic signal in what has long been the country's biggest red state. He credits Talarico's viral Colbert moment with giving him a massive boost, notes that Latino voters broke decisively for Talarico over Jasmine Crockett — who ran an unconventional campaign and is unlikely to concede quickly — and argues that a Paxton vs. Talarico general election would genuinely put Texas in play. He walks through the strategic calculus: history favors Paxton in a runoff, Cornyn has outperformed polling but a Cornyn nomination would draw less national Democratic investment in the race, and Democrats should have the budget to compete in Texas regardless — because Texas is "nice to have" for Democrats but "must have" for Republicans, and if Democrats win even once there, it opens the floodgates. He also flags Dan Crenshaw losing after failing to secure Trump's endorsement, the razor-thin two-vote margin for the state senate campaign in North Carolina, and a broader pattern of bad developments piling up for the GOP — capped by Trump stoking voter skepticism with an unpopular Iran war. His verdict: this is the worst possible start to an election cycle for Republicans, because it's easy to start a war and very hard to end one. Then, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Josh Seftel joins the Chuck Toddcast to discuss All the Empty Rooms, his devastating Netflix documentary short that chronicles the untouched bedrooms of children killed in school shootings since Sandy Hook. Seftel describes a country that has grown numb to over 100 school shootings just this year — where the reporting cycle moves on before victims' stories can truly be told — and explains how the simple, visceral act of standing in a dead child's bedroom forces viewers to feel something that statistics never could. He reveals that many parents have kept these rooms exactly as their children left them, preserving even the smell, creating what amounts to sacred spaces frozen in time.Chuck draws the parallel to the decision to show Emmett Till's open casket, and Seftel argues these painful stories must be told regardless of how uncomfortable they make us, because imagery can be more powerful than the spoken word. What makes the film's approach so striking — and so strategically effective — is what it leaves out. The word "gun" is never mentioned, a deliberate choice to avoid triggering the political reflexes that shut down conversation before it starts. And it's working: Seftel shares that a Second Amendment enthusiast changed his mind after seeing the photos of empty rooms, and even a Sandy Hook denier reached out after watching. The film's funders didn't want to make money — they wanted to make change — and Netflix's global distribution has given it a massive reach. Seftel says the conversation has to start with one simple question — "How do we keep kids safe at school?" — and that the film intentionally got better as it got shorter, stripping away prescription and polemic to let the silence of those rooms do the work. Finally, Chuck lists his ToddCast Top 5 All-Time Texas statewide elections and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

For 40 million years, everyone thought the ancient Tintina Fault in Canada was long dead. But now—scientists say it's waking up. Near Dawson City, fresh cracks and movements show the ground isn't as still as it seems. The strain beneath the surface has built up to nearly six meters—enough to trigger an earthquake stronger than magnitude 7.5 if it suddenly lets go. And here's the shocking part: this massive fault isn't even listed on Canada's official seismic hazard map. Join us as we uncover what this means for the North—and whether the next big quake might come from a place no one expected. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send a textA baby macaque clutching an orange plush shouldn't teach us this much about biology, but Punch does. His quiet hold on a stuffed orangutan opens a door into attachment science, stress, and how primate societies enforce rules we often mistake for cruelty. We walk through why zookeepers reached for a surrogate object, how tactile comfort supports motor development and emotional regulation, and what happens when a first-time mother and a heat wave collide with the unforgiving math of survival. Along the way, we examine the “bullying” clips through a scientific lens—dominance, submission cues, and the essential role of maternal coaching—while celebrating glimmers of recovery as grooming and real hugs begin to replace the plush.Then we shift from the enclosure to our living rooms. Flat-faced dogs remain wildly popular, but a new UK study across 14 brachycephalic breeds quantifies the toll: widespread BOAS, exercise intolerance, snorting, sleep disruption, and heat sensitivity tied to extreme skull shapes. We break down the grading scale, the stark numbers for pugs and Pekingese, and the three big drivers of risk—short muzzles, narrow nostrils, and excess fat around the airway. Not all breeds scored the same, and that's the hopeful part: careful selection can nudge beloved lines toward open airways and stronger health without abandoning them.Across both stories runs a single thread: love is better when it listens to evidence. From managing crowds around Punch to resisting the exotic pet impulse, from breeding away from extremes to helping current dogs breathe easier with weight control and heat care, small choices add up to real welfare gains.

In this ClimateGenn episode I am discussing the forecast 2026 El Niño event with Dr Jennifer Francis from the Woodwell Climate Research Centre in the US. I don't mind admitting my heart sank a little when I heard the news of the forthcoming el Niño. Visit: Genn.cc for more information about this podcast The intensity of climate induced extremes that life on earth has been experiencing in recent years, coupled with the negligence and, in many cases, gross degenerate policymaking, has set us up to be woefully unprepared for the climate extremes we can expect later this year. Jennifer gives us the detail on this but always remember that this is a crisis that we are continuing to worsen by not cutting greenhouse gas emissions at the fastest rate possible.
Truck wash day! Gonna be almost 50° today with some colder temps & snow on the way tomorrow. So gotta get that truck in the car wash. Heading into the weekend, we talked about what's on TV for the next few days and what's new in theaters along with a few new music releases. Doc had to pre-record today's racing report thanks to County Materials in Holmen and Eau Claire! We also highlighted some things to look forward to in the month of March, including some movies & TV shows, sporting events, and some of the holidays! Speaking of sports, the Bucks play tonight, the Badgers are in Washington tomorrow afternoon, the US Women's Hockey team is going to be partying in Las Vegas with Flavor Flav…while the US Men's Hockey team had their bar tab taken care of by Pat McAfee! A burger battle is heating up between McDonald's & Burger King…as Mickey-D's is introducing the "Big Arch Burger" and BK is apparently revamping it's Whopper. Plus, have you seen the new Johnsonville sausage flavor? Not sure I want to try this one. In the news this morning, a woman gives birth to a MASSIVE baby, the guy in Wyoming who dragged a dying wolf into a bar after hitting it with his snowmobile reaches a plea deal, and the grandfather with the "PB4WEGO" license plate gets a bit of help from the governor of NY. Elsewhere in sports, the NFL player's report gets leaked, Tony Dungy is apparently out at "Sunday Night Football", a couple of college basketball players helped out when those two cars fell into a sinkhole in Nebraska, and the Orlando Magic have a very unique collaboration coming up! Couple of dog stories this morning - A snowplow driver in New York rescued a couple of dogs that were running loose on the highway, and an old guy in Canada fell down and was rescued by his neighbor's pooch! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a couple who were seriously injured by some antlers that fell off the wall at a Longhorn steakouse, a couple who apparently beat each other with frying pans, a woman who tried to use movie prop money to bail a friend out of jail, and a guy who was flashing people at a Denny's.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Episode Summary In this episode, Gary Pinkerton reflects on a recent interview conducted for a PhD thesis on crisis leadership — and shares the real-world lessons he learned leading through high-stakes environments in the military, business, and investing. Gary explains why true crises are often preventable through preparation, liquidity, and resilient financial structures. Drawing from submarine operations, real estate investing, and leadership experience, he breaks down how effective leaders manage uncertainty, control emotional reactions, and make clear decisions when information is incomplete. At the center of the conversation is one powerful principle: Bad news never gets better with time. Listeners will learn how early communication, structured thinking, and trained decision-making processes can transform chaos into manageable action — whether in business, investing, or personal life. This episode delivers practical frameworks for crisis response, leadership development, and building organizations that function effectively even when leaders are absent.
