Face à certaines campagnes de propagande étrangère, les grands chatbots ont fait mieux qu'une simple recherche Google. Mais leur avantage dépend surtout de leur capacité à décider quelles sources méritent d'être crues. NPR et NewsGuard ont testé cet été six assistants connectés à internet : ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Meta AI, Grok et Claude. Ils leur ont soumis trente questions construites à partir de quinze fausses informations diffusées par des acteurs russes, chinois ou iraniens entre décembre 2025 et juillet 2026. La moitié des questions étaient neutres. Les autres contenaient volontairement une prémisse fausse. Sur cet échantillon, les chatbots ont correctement contesté ces récits environ trois fois sur quatre, et ont globalement mieux résisté que les premières pages des moteurs de recherche. Le résultat est intéressant parce que ces assistants utilisent eux-mêmes le web. Leur avantage ne viendrait donc pas seulement de l'accès à davantage d'informations, mais de leur capacité à confronter plusieurs sources et à signaler qu'une question repose sur une affirmation trompeuse.Cela ne les rend pas pour autant fiables par défaut. NPR a constaté que les chatbots citaient aussi des médias contrôlés ou alignés sur des États, à des taux comparables aux moteurs de recherche. Et les résumés générés directement dans la recherche ont été plus irréguliers : Google AI Overview a généralement bien résisté, tandis que les résumés de Bing ont échoué dans la majorité des cas testés. Une étude publiée en juillet dans les Findings of ACL renforce cette prudence. Quinze modèles ont été confrontés à plus de six mille affirmations vérifiées par PolitiFact. Ajouter une recherche web n'améliorait les résultats que modérément. En revanche, fournir directement aux modèles une sélection de fact-checks fiables améliorait très fortement leurs performances.Autre limite : l'environnement linguistique. Une étude publiée dans Nature a montré que des modèles commerciaux répondaient plus favorablement aux institutions politiques chinoises lorsqu'ils étaient interrogés en chinois plutôt qu'en anglais, et que des contenus contrôlés par l'État chinois apparaissaient dans des corpus d'entraînement. Le message est donc moins spectaculaire qu'un duel entre IA et Google : connecter une intelligence artificielle à internet ne suffit pas. Pour distinguer information et propagande, le vrai avantage commence lorsqu'elle sait aussi hiérarchiser la crédibilité de ce qu'elle trouve. Source Hébergé par Acast.

The Super El Niño is officially here — and scientists say it may be the strongest ever recorded. In this episode, Patrick Kelly breaks down what a “very strong” El Niño means for fall and winter weather, global agriculture, and the future of fresh produce.We dive into the science behind El Niño — how NOAA defines it, why the Walker Circulation matters, and why the World Meteorological Organization is forecasting a near 100% chance that this event will persist through February 2027. You'll hear expert insights from UC San Diego, USF, and global climate researchers on what makes this El Niño different.After the break, we explore how extreme weather, drought, flooding, and shifting ocean temperatures are already disrupting global agriculture. From rising rice prices to volatile grain markets, food insecurity risks, and supply chain pressure, Patrick unpacks how this climate event will reshape fresh produce markets worldwide.References: TIME – How El Niño Will Impact Fall and Winter Weather in the U.S.https://time.com/article/2026/09/11/el-nino-fall-winter-weather-us/NOAA – El Niño Forms, Expected to Strengthenhttps://www.noaa.gov/news-release/el-nino-forms-expected-to-strengthen-say-noaa-forecastersWMO – El Niño Set to Become Very Strong, Raising Risks of Extreme Weather into 2027https://wmo.int/news/media-centre/el-nino-set-become-very-strong-raising-risks-of-extreme-weather-2027The Conference Board – El Niño Reshapes Global Agricultural Marketshttps://www.conference-board.org/research/policy-backgrounders/el-nino-reshapes-global-agricultural-marketsNewsweek – How El Niño Could Spark Global Crisis in 2027https://www.newsweek.com/how-el-nino-could-spark-global-crisis-2027-12331811 (newsweek.com in Bing)

We all know the cycle: pushing out daily Instagram posts, scrambling to keep up with the algorithm, and wondering if it's even worth it. The highlight reels of “overnight” wins make it seem like short-form content is the only way to grow — but if that's your only strategy heading into Q4, your future self is going to be exhausted.In this episode, I'm sharing the marketing play that most entrepreneurs skip until it's too late: building evergreen content systems. Whether it's blogging, Pinterest, or other search-driven strategies, Q4 is the best time to plant seeds that will grow into leads, traffic, and sales in 2026.We'll talk about why relying only on Instagram is burning you out, how evergreen content gives you marketing assets that keep working in the background, and why now (not January) is the moment to start if you want your business to feel lighter and more sustainable next year.If you're ready to move beyond hustle-mode and finally build a marketing strategy that compounds over time, this episode is for you.

Dal 31 agosto la Commissione Europea designa ChatGPT come “Very Large Online Search Engine” (VLOSE) sotto il Digital Services Act: non chatbot, non piattaforma, ma motore di ricerca. La scelta nasce dal modo in cui viene usato: per centinaia di milioni di query “a intento di ricerca”, anche quando il risultato non è una lista di link, ma una risposta generata. E quando una risposta è generata, la responsabilità non è più solo “vetrina” come nei search tradizionali.La designazione apre un conto alla rovescia di 4 mesi per adeguarsi agli obblighi rafforzati: valutazione dei rischi sistemici (contenuti illegali, diritti fondamentali, dibattito civico/elezioni e sicurezza pubblica, salute pubblica e minori), misure di mitigazione proporzionate ed efficaci, meccanismi di risposta alle crisi, audit indipendente annuale e report pubblici. Nel perimetro entrano anche accesso ai dati per ricercatori accreditati e archivi di trasparenza pubblicitaria, con sanzioni potenzialmente calcolate sul fatturato globale.Sul fondo c'è l'“effetto Bruxelles”: se un unico modello serve tutto il mondo, l'adeguamento europeo tende a trascinare standard e scelte di design ovunque. E la categoria “servizio ibrido” segnala anche un punto delicato: la flessibilità delle definizioni regolatorie quando la tecnologia non rientra più nelle caselle pensate per Google e Bing.00:00 ChatGPT come Google?02:30 Designazione VLOSE: i fatti05:10 Servizio ibrido: perché motore08:30 Numeri e uso come search09:32 Art. 34: rischi sistemici10:47 Art. 35-37: mitigazioni e audit14:12 Art. 38-40: profilazione e dati18:59 AI Act vs DSA ed effetto UE#ChatGPT #DigitalServicesAct #CommissioneEuropea~~~Ciao Internet! - Il primo e più seguito canale di TECH POLICY in italia, con Matteo FloraINFO E AZIENDE: https://matteoflora.comIl CORSO di AI: https://zero.matteoflora.comNewsletter: https://link.mgpf.it/nlSocial: https://io.matteoflora.comEnglish: https://www.youtube.com/@CiaoInternetPrivacy » https://privacy.matteoflora.comAI Policy » https://privacy.matteoflora.com/aiMail #adv: sales (at) matteoflora.com

Welcome to Episode 163 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing Welcome to Episode #163 of “Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing” In this episode, I’m talking about the importance of connecting with like-minded people, as well as people from all over the world that you may benefit from knowing. The online world is an excellent place to connect with people and it is also where I have have been earning a full-time income since 2006. No matter what your experience has been up until now, there are many ways for you to serve others with an online business of your own. Let’s connect and see if I will be the one to help you become a successful online entrepreneur. I am sharing a live session of my “Really Simple Authority Blogging” ongoing training course with you and know you will benefit from the marketing strategies I am sharing and teaching here. Be sure to connect with me at https://ConnieRagenGreen.com or on X at https://x.com/ConnieGreen so I may serve you in the areas where my help could make a huge difference in your results. I’m going to share with you how much fun I’m having with creating simple courses using AI (Artificial Intelligence) in about 30 minutes. I know you can do the same thing. Keep it simple, and add the short course you create to a page on your existing website/blog. In this episode I’m discussing how to use keywords and search engine optimization (SEO) to grow your business. Your prospects and future clients, customers, and colleagues are waiting to connect with you, but if they can’t find you online it will never happen. Make it simple for your target audience to find you by using the keywords and phrases they are most likely to be searching for on Google, Bing, and the other search engines. The Power and Gift of Change”- We are all changing throughout each day, and I think we must embrace this change in order to grow and move forward. Changing can take many forms, and if you look back through your life you will come to understand that you are not the same person you were even a year ago. Here is a quote about this you may resonate with… “Growth lives outside the comfort zone. If it feels uncomfortable, you’re probably doing it right.” ~ Marie Forleo I believe that our businesses are based on the concept of serving others. When you start on online (or even a brick and mortar) business, your goal is to serve others with what you know and to benefit in multiple ways, including by earning an excellent income. I’m sharing several examples in this podcast about my own and experiences with clients over the years. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This morning I was reading the message written by outgoing Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. In it, he stated that his “parting prescription” for the American people is to cultivate a strong sense of community to help themselves and others. He added, “Relationships, service, and purpose are the time-tested triad of fulfillment that stands in contrast to wealth, fame, and power which define the modern-day triad of success.” Here are some other questions I want you to ask yourself: What is your commitment to yourself and to others close to you? Why are you focused on the things that are taking up your time? When will you begin to focus on goals that will allow you to create and leave a legacy? Whom do you trust to get you there? Perhaps my “Monthly Mentoring Program” is right for you. Motivation and Inspiration: What It Takes to Get Your Spark Back” During 2024 I went through a period where I wasn’t as motivated as I had been accustomed to being for many years. This gave me time to explore why I was feeling this way and to hopefully learn something that would help others. My inspiration to do all of the things I love in my business, including writing, creating, marketing, and mentoring was waning and I wasn’t sure why. Within a couple of months I was back on track and this is what I learned… Life isn’t easy, but then it isn’t supposed to be. Being challenged in so many ways on a regular basis makes us stronger and perhaps more appreciative and grateful for what we already have and what we know we can achieve if we believe in ourselves and have even one other person who knows we are special and tells us that as often as possible. Marie Forleo wrote a book titled “Everything Is Figureoutable” – https://ConnieLoves.me/FigureOutAble – Her precept is that if you’re having trouble solving a problem or reaching a dream, the problem isn’t you. It’s that you haven’t yet installed the one belief that changes everything. I’m at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com and want to hear from you on this topic, or on anything else. “Merging Your Life with Your Business” as a strategy. We aren’t creating a business we need a vacation from. Instead, we’re creating a “lifestyle by design” where we have the time and financial freedom to live in a way that few people are able to, and with choices around everything we do. If you’ve met me in person, heard me on my podcast, or read any of my books, you know that I am a very positive person. No matter what situation or circumstances arises, I truly believe there will always be a positive outcome on the horizon, and sooner rather than later. But I wasn’t always this way. This is a journey that continues… My first year online was 2006, and very quickly I connected with people I’m still part of a Mastermind with in Austin, Texas. I was invited to speak at an event there a couple of years later. It was hosted by Joe Vitale and Mendhi Audlin was also there. She shared a concept she had come up with that she calls “What If… UP!” The premise is that there is truly a silver lining in everything negative that occurs. I liken this to Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. My precept and general rule for life is that we can achieve anything we want and feel that we deserve. Others want to help us to achieve our goals, but many times we get in their way by telling ourselves stories that aren’t true. Mendhi’s precept aligns with mine, and a year or so after I first met her she published a book on this… “What If It All Goes Right?: Creating a New World of Peace, Prosperity & Possibility” by Mendhi Audlin reveals the secret to turning possibilities into a tangible reality. It works! https://ConnieLoves.me/WhatIfUp I’m discussing the importance of being willing to “Better Your Best” during this new year, as well as recommending that this be the year you finally embrace AI – Artificial Intelligence – for your business. I have been a student of and someone who uses AI almost daily since February of 2022, and I’m learning from experts Andy O”Bryan and Denise Wakeman in their ongoing AI Success Club. Asking “How Are You Defining Success?” Creating a business as an entrepreneur allows you to live a lifestyle by design, with both time freedom and financial freedom. Think about how you want to live each day and then take action to make it happen. Over the years I’ve changed many things, while others have remained the same. Instead of making changes just for the sake of change, think about what you could change up and what makes sense to remain at least mostly the same. Years ago, I used to put together my blog posts on a single topic, like copywriting or list building or creation digital products into a simple document that I referred to as a ‘Focus Guide’ and gave them away to my list and to my prospects. Each of these documents contained resources and an ‘About the Author’ page that helped me to build my credibility, visibility, and profitability. For the first time ever, I am recommending that you write a book about yourself, your niche topic, and how you serve others. I first did this in 2009 and now I have written and published twenty-eight full-length, non-fiction books on the topics of entrepreneurship, personal, development, and authorship. Life can be messy. Are their ways you can keep moving forward when your personal life is turning upside down? Yes! Finding joy in helping and serving others, as well as compartmentalizing what is currently going on in your life are just two of the ways to deal with change and situations outside of your control. I recommend that you choose two social media platforms to use for the sole purpose of helping your prospects find and connect with you online. My favorite is X – formerly known as Twitter, and I also use LinkedIn and YouTube as my favorite social media sites to grow my business. Please connect with me on these sites and let me know how I may best serve you as you build and grow your profitable business. Is your list of what you are willing to do longer than your list of what you don’t want to do? I recommend a mile-long “to-do” list and a daily schedule of no more than four things that you will work on each day in your business. Find a mentor who believes in you and get started with creating a lifestyle by design that you want and deserve. I’m recommending James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” – https://ConnieLoves.me/AtomicHabits – as a book to help you alleviate your fears. We all have hopes, dreams, goals, and fears regarding our life experiences. I have found that if we build up our confidence and have faith that everything will turn out in a way that will be beneficial to all, we can continue to move forward without negative effects. Having an online business requires confidence. These are some questions to ask yourself: Who will you serve? What are your prospects pain points? What’s your idea? How will it be created, and then delivered? How will you sell it online? Creating a simple product or online course is the beginning of living a lifestyle by design. Reach out to me any time at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com if you’d like to know more about getting started as an online entrepreneur. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ My first online course back in 2006 was a simple one with three audio trainings and a workbook. Then, I began creating more sophisticated, but not more complicated courses. I’ve used the “Really Simple” branding for many courses at least 25 times, as well as using other terms and phrases based on the keywords I am optimizing for with each new course. Having your own online course on a topic you want to become known for will give you leverage to grow your business exponentially over time. It’s interesting to me that we as humans sometimes take things for granted that later on we know we should have appreciated in the moment. What I’m referring to here is having an online business you can run from home, or from anywhere in the world. There’s a window of opportunity that isn’t always open, and right now this window is wide open to everyone. A lot of it depends upon economic factors. I almost went back to graduate school two years ago to study economics, but decided against it because of the film and television writing I’m pursuing, but that’s a story for another time. Someone I work closely with had posted this quote from Richard Branson the other day: “Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.” This does NOT apply to online business, but instead refers to starting a physical, brick and mortar business. I know several people in both of my cities who borrowed against their homes, cashed out retirement savings, and sold family heirlooms to start businesses in the community, only to go bankrupt a couple of years later. What I’m saying here is that this is the time to get your online business off the ground and up and running profitably. It’s so inexpensive in comparison, and the biggest expense I incur is what I pay mentors to guide me in the right direction. Yes, I still have a mentor and recommend you do as well. This isn’t coaching, but instead a personal relationship you’ll build over time that could lead to strategic alliance partnerships and lifelong friendships. I’m at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com if you want to know more about mentoring with me. The four widely accepted learning modalities (or modes) are known by the acronym VARK: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinesthetic. They are sometimes inaccurately referred to as “learning styles” which implies that each learner has a “style” of learning that should be maximized in all learning situations. Focusing on consistency, productivity, and creativity makes sense for all online entrepreneurs in 2024. I’m also sharing some effective and time-proven strategies with you here that will make a difference in your business, as well as in your personal life experience. Each day I focus on writing, creating, marketing, and teaching/learning/mentoring. My writing began as short and simple blog posts and blossomed into more than twenty-five full-length books. My writing is my oeuvre, my body of work that is my legacy to family, friends, colleagues, and those who follow me. During 2023 I wrote and published more than 400 thousand words. This breaks down to one full-length book, Self-Directed: Inspire, Motivate, and Empower Yourself to the Greatness That Lies Within; the current book on marketing that is more than halfway written; 8 short reports on topics of interest to the people I work with online; one hundred thirty-eight blog posts on three different blogs I maintain; and 382 email messages to my online community. These are  practical strategies for effective time management, emphasizing the importance of creating a balance between work and personal life. Achieving work-life harmony requires effective time management strategies that allow you to balance professional and personal responsibilities. Here are some strategies to help you manage your time more efficiently: 1. Set Clear Priorities: Identify your most important tasks and priorities for both work and personal life. Focus on what truly matters and allocate time accordingly. 2. Use a Time Management System: Choose a time management system that works for you, whether it’s a digital tool like Todoist or Trello, or a physical planner. Organize tasks, set deadlines, and track your progress. Schedules vs To-Do Lists 3. Prioritize Tasks with the Eisenhower Matrix: Categorize tasks into four quadrants: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, and neither urgent nor important. Prioritize tasks based on these categories. 4. Batch Similar Tasks: Group similar tasks together and tackle them during specific time blocks. This reduces the mental load of switching between different types of activities. 5. Time Blocking: Allocate specific blocks of time to different activities. This includes work tasks, personal commitments, and breaks. Stick to the schedule as much as possible. 6. Learn to Say No: Be selective about taking on new commitments. Saying no when necessary helps you avoid over-committing and allows you to focus on your existing priorities. 7. Delegate When Possible: Delegate tasks that others can handle. This applies to both professional and personal responsibilities. It’s okay to ask for help. 8. Practice the Two-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. This prevents small tasks from piling up and becoming overwhelming. 9. Limit Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time. Multitasking can reduce efficiency and increase stress. Complete one task before moving on to the next. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You’re starting a conversation with your emails, and building a relationship with your prospects, customers, and clients over time. I’ve been online as an entrepreneur, marketer, and writer since 2006, and while much has changed, I believe that more has remained the same. Here, I’m discussing how we marketed in those early days, and why email marketing still remains top of mind. Most recently, I’ve co-hosted an Advanced Email Marketing Conference with Ellen Finkelstein. In April of 2023, I hosted my latest live marketing event in Los Angeles, and more recently I’ve hosted my Santa Barbara Retreat for those I mentor and teach. But like everyone else, I began by attending live events, and eventually virtual events in order to find my voice, connect with other like-minded people, and learn more about building and growing my online business. Guerilla marketing is a way to drive publicity and, as a result, brand awareness by promoting using unconventional methods designed to evoke surprise, wonder, or shock. Guerrilla marketing is the creating use of novel or unconventional methods in order to boost sales or attract interest in a brand or business. These methods are often low- or no-cost and involve the widespread use of more personal interactions or through viral social media messaging. This marketing method has increased in popularity with the rise of ubiquitous mobile and connected technologies that can amplify messaging and focus on target groups of consumers. Some consumers may be more attracted by guerrilla marketing campaigns as they may be more interesting and daring, while others may be turned off because of the perceived “disruptive” aspects of this style of marketing.

I’ve been online since 2006 and now help others all over the world to do the same or something similar. We all have times where we are feeling a little down, lost, or confused. Life isn’t easy, and no one makes it out alive! These are my recommendations for how to get back on track and feeling more happy and optimistic about your future… Write! Whether you’re already a writer or are just beginning to think about sharing your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with others, writing makes sense. I write every single day and publish much of my writing as blog posts, short reports, and full-length books. Writing opens your mind to what you want in the future, by allowing you to explore the past through your memories. You can also retell and reframe your stories in a way that will serve you going forward. Start a new project! I usually create products and courses as new projects, but this can also manifest as something you build or create with your hands. I have family members on two continents that love to put together complex jigsaw puzzles. They look forward to these as a new project on a regular basis. Volunteer! Before I started my online business, I promised myself I would volunteer my time and donate money to charitable causes… as soon as I had the time and the money to do so. Once I had my own business, I realized that I had some time and a little money to do this all along. Spend time with new people! As a part of the volunteering I now do regularly, I’ve spent time with very young children, veterans, women starting over after being in a domestic violence situation, and more. This work continues to make a difference in my life. As you can see, there are many ways to get back to your “Why?” and I hope this has been helpful to you. What’s the best niche topic to cover in your blog? I know you don’t what to hear me say “It depends.” so I won’t. Lean in, and I’ll share the very best niche for you, and it’s one that is also the most profitable, will feel more like you’re just having fun, will never go out of style, and will be the one that has absolutely zero competition. Which niche topic and target audience could it possibly be? I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. I learned when I began online 17 years ago that the best niche for anyone is the one that makes your heart sing and is probably a topic you take for granted. I had been teaching school for twenty years and my students were mostly Spanish and Tagalog native speakers. I told them if they wrote just a few sentences every single day – weekends, holidays, and school breaks included – their writing would improve. Those who followed my advice excelled, while those who didn’t floundered. During all those years, I seldom wrote anything unless it was required for my work as a teacher or for my part-time work in real estate. Fast forward to 2006, and I realized not only that I needed to write in order to succeed online, but also that what I’d done with my students would apply here as well. My niche for the next eighteen months was around helping others to write, publish, market, and sell eBooks. I wrote one on real estate farming – choosing and area close to home to connect with people who may need your services – as an example and sold it on my website. Back then, you had to sell eBooks on your own websites, as Amazon had not yet entered the world of self-publishing. My niche and website became “eBook writing and marketing secrets” and this topic took me to six figures. I was learning right along with the people who were learning and buying from me. I then moved that site over to https://ConnieRagenGreen.com to make a name for myself and to branch out to other topics. The bottom line is that you must begin by sharing what you already know something about and love. Blogging is the direct path to the visibility, credibility, and profitability you wish to have in your business. In my business, every idea begins as a blog post. This is where I think and research and brainstorm what’s on my mind in the very beginning. The blog post is ground zero for what could, and many times does become a product, course or program. Blog posts, while based on your idea, can be created with original content, private label (PLR) rights content, guest content, or curated content. While I immediately share my published posts on social media as “micro content” you’ll want to wait at least 24 hours before syndicating your content on Medium. I also teach this syndication strategy in my popular and ongoing Syndication Optimization training program. Next up in your content creation and content marketing strategy is a short report, which you may sell online or give away as a lead magnet. I teach all of this in my Really Simple Short Reports training. This is what we refer to as “cornerstone” content that is extremely valuable. The final step is creating “authority content” by publishing your writing as a Kindle or paperback book to increase your visibility and build your reputation as an expert on your topic. I typically discuss time management and productivity in regards to entrepreneurs, marketers, and authors, and I’ve even co-authored a bestselling book on this topic, entitled “Time Management Strategies for Entrepreneurs: How to Manage Your Time to Increase Your Bottom Line” where we outline in great details the steps you may take to reach a level of optimal productivity and time management as an entrepreneur. But what about everyone else? Doesn’t every person deserve to live the lifestyle they want and deserve, where they enjoy financial freedom and the time to enjoy every moment to the fullest? Of course they do, and that’s what I’m sharing during this podcast. When I began online as a new entrepreneur in 2006, I realized immediately I would need help with technology and graphics, as these were the areas where I had no experience or talent. I bartered for these services for the first year or so, and then began to put together a team of people to support me so my business could grow. When I look back over my lifetime, I see that I have always had a team supporting me, whether it was while I worked as a classroom teacher, or in real estate as a broker and residential appraiser. Even while I was growing up, I was surrounded by people who supported me, from family, friends and neighbors to teachers, clergy, and people in the community. Put together your team and watch your business grow exponentially! When it comes to your visibility as an entrepreneur, where may we find you to see what you’re doing? This expert status comes from your writing, videos and audios, and your social media presence on the most active platforms for your target audience. My three popular and active blogs are at ConnieRagenGreen.com, HugeProfitsTinyList.com, and at MondayMorningMellow.com. Credibility is about what you already know and what you are learning. We all started our online businesses as adults, so we brought our knowledge and experiences with us. It made sense for me to help people write, market, and publish eBooks in the beginning, because I had worked as a classroom teacher for twenty years prior to coming online, and was learning about marketing and self-publishing. Profitability means that you must ask “What’s for sale?” every day in your business. Create your own simple products and courses, recommend others with affiliate marketing, and look into buying the resale rights to sell other people’s products as your own like I continue to do in my own business. The final part of this information on your expert status as an entrepreneur includes productivity, consistency, and attention to detail. Get everything in place as quickly as possible, and your online business is sure to grow exponentially! During my first couple of years online, beginning in 2007 I connected with mentors Alex Mandossian and Raymond Aaron. When I inquired as to what they were doing together as strategic alliance partners, they gave me a brief explanation and told me that I was not yet ready to move up to this level. Over the next two years they helped me to grow and elevate my business and my mindset as an online entrepreneur so that I could connect with others in this way. Seek out the people and groups you wish to be involved with and show them that you have moved past tactics and on to strategies. It will make all the difference and as you uplevel everything you’re doing online in your business, your free time and disposable income will increase exponentially! When I work with people in my Incubator Mastermind Mentoring program, the goal is to move them into position to become a strategic alliance partner with me and others to share their message in a bigger way. WHY did you choose the career you started your working life with? WHY did you get married, have children, and move into your first home? WHY did you make the conscious decision to leave your career at some point and start your business? WHY do you want to be an author or entrepreneur, or coach? WHY do you get up every single day and do the work required to become more successful on an ongoing basis? Everyone must have a WHY and there are no right or wrong answers here. But if you find yourself unmotivated to work or if you find yourself procrastinating on projects, then it's time to re-examine the main reason for your business. Name Your Reason – or Your WHY – for Starting a Business Focusing on your WHY can help motivate you, so write down your reason for starting a business on a regular basis. Did you want to fill your free time? Did you want to earn some play money or contribute to the family finances? Did you want to pay the medical bills of an aging parent or a sick child? Did you want to pay for your child's higher education or private school tuition? In my case, my answer to “what's your why?” was always around having enough income to live life on my terms. Over time, I came to the realization that every choice I was making, and each time I could not do something that had meaning for me, was all related to me needing to earn a paycheck or a commission from the classroom teaching and real estate work I was involved with each day. I missed just about every family event, vacation, and other activities because I was working 60 or more hours a week in order to cover my bills and other expenses. I wasn't angry or resentful because I believed that I didn't deserve to have a better life during those decades. This all changed in 2005 when I began reading books and attending events based on self improvement and personal development principles. Writing these reasons down – no matter what they are because every person's WHY will be different – should help motivate you to work hard. You should feel driven to make your business a success. You should be willing to tackle things outside your comfort zone because you know the end result will help your business. If you're not feeling motivated, then you need to dig deeper. I worked closely with a woman who was struggling to make her online business become profitable, and she continued to tell me that she had no problems or struggles in her life, currently or during her younger years. Then, one day she told me about her granddaughter who had passed away at age twelve and the floodgates opened. We got to the bottom of things, she discovered her why, and her business grew by leaps and bounds, almost overnight! Be Open and Willing to Examine Your Inner Feelings Life is fluid and ever-changing so it stands to reason that your WHY would change over time as well. Even if you started your business because you didn't know what to do once your kids were in full day school, you can change that WHY to something more meaningful now. A mentor once shared with me that she started a service business because she was a single mom and needed to earn money to survive. She was responsible for lodging, food, and clothing for herself and her child. She didn't have anyone to rely on except herself. THIS is enough to make you cry and to hustle for work, knowing that if she wasn't working, she wasn't eating. What are you passionate about that will get you hustling? Are you passionate about a cause or charity that can benefit from your financial assistance? Do you need to pull yourself up out of financial despair? Don't be afraid to own that reason and fight for your business. This is how you will continue to get closer to understanding and recognizing the answer to “what's your why?” Don't be Afraid to Switch Business Gears to Discover Your “Why” One of my mentees admitted to me early on that even though she has been in a service business for over ten years, that she hadn't been motivated to create any classes or products as a source of passive income. She blamed her indecision on a lack of new ideas and a feeling and belief that everything she knew had already been said and done, but I questioned if it was because she didn't feel attached to her particular niche of online marketing. After some more discussion, she agreed and has since modified her services that align better with what she enjoys. I still suggested that she explore a deeper WHY but this is a step in the right direction. Plenty of businesses add or subtract products or services or modify their mission statement. If something about your business doesn't feel right, don't be afraid to make changes. I'm bestselling author and online entrepreneur Connie Ragen Green, and now I can confidently answer the question “What's your why?” with enthusiasm and conviction. My “why” is around the concept of helping others to achieve their goals and dreams with writing and having a profitable online business so they may follow their dreams and passions without having to do work that doesn't make their heart sing or worry about meeting all of their financial obligations with grace and ease. You can double your productivity and be success with a business, or with anything you choose to accomplish in your life, if you are willing to implement what you learn and take decisive action on a consistent basis. Many people come to me to learn how to successful and profitable as an online entrepreneur. But some of them end up saying “I already know that” and moving on to something else. I know that I am able to do more than I ever thought would be possible in my life because I am willing to learn, implement, course correct, ask questions, take massive action and keep moving forward with consistency. Others may be smarter or more knowledgeable, but if they hesitate to take action they will not achieve the results they are hoping for in their business or with anything else. As long as you are specific and intentional with what you want to achieve, you can do it all as an entrepreneur, just not all at once. And we must throw perfection out the window. I have a new saying… The more perfecter your goal, the less purfeckt your results. “Everything we do in our lives is preparing us for something that will arise in the future, even though we don’t yet know what that will be.” ~ Connie Ragen Green Our stories are the fabric of our life. A story sets you apart from everyone else, makes you unique and memorable, and is all you have when it's all said and done. When I was a young child a neighbor girl, seven or eight years old at the time, interrupted my mother in the middle of a story she was telling to ask, “Why do you have so many stories?” My mother hardly skipped a beat, informing the girl that “You'll have stories too, when you get older.” On that evening a part of me became a storyteller in training. Sure enough, it wasn't long before I was telling stories about everything from what I did in school that day to what happened in the neighborhood. I wore my storyteller's hat with pride and now I see that this one aspect of my life was preparing me for what I now do in my business and derive great joy from every single day. The word “praestabilis” is from the Latin and means outstanding, excellent, and extraordinary and this is the goal for you as you make your way in the online world. It took me until age 50 to step into the light and live an empowered life. I achieved this by leaving a job – classroom teaching – and a career as a real estate broker and appraiser to come online as an entrepreneur. I have no regrets about waiting so long, as everything unfolds once we are open to receiving it. There are three top strategies to help you move closer to an empowered life and they include… Writing – Every day, I want you to write! This includes blog posts, outlines, emails to your prospects, clients, and potential joint venture partners. Also, write short reports and white papers to show others who you are and what you know. Finally, write a book to solidify your expertise in your niche, and follow that up with additional books over time. Writing is crucial to our process of standing out from the crowd by sharing what we know and believe. Reach out to me if you’re interested in coming aboard for my “10 Week Author” program.

Twee Amerikaanse senatoren eisen opheldering van TikTok over een experiment waarbij het bedrijf bij ongeveer tien procent van de Amerikaanse gebruikers een algoritmische beveiliging uitschakelde, om te meten wat dat deed met het aantal dagelijkse gebruikers. Onder de getroffenen zat de zestienjarige Chase Nasca, die zichzelf van het leven beroofde. De senatoren noemen de proef verdorven en willen uiterlijk 1 september antwoorden. Verder werd Meta een van de grootste AI-klanten van Microsoft. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. TikTok voerde het experiment niet uit in een afgeschermde omgeving, maar op ongeveer tien procent van de Amerikaanse gebruikers, destijds zo'n vijftien miljoen mensen. Voor deze controlegroep werd een tijdlang een beveiliging uitgeschakeld die zogenoemde echokamers moet voorkomen, waarbij iemand alleen nog bevestigende beelden te zien krijgt. Bij schadelijke inhoud kan dat ernstige gevolgen hebben. Zo kreeg Chase Nasca uit New York volgens de berichtgeving duizenden video's over verdriet en eenzaamheid voorgeschoteld, waarna hij zichzelf van het leven beroofde. Republikeins senator Marsha Blackburn uit Tennessee en de Democraat Richard Blumenthal uit Connecticut eisen in een brief namen van betrokken medewerkers en een volledig dossier over dit en soortgelijke experimenten. Waarom TikTok de beveiliging uitschakelde TikTok reageerde eerder kort op het verhaal, dat drie jaar geleden door Bloomberg werd gemeld op basis van vertrouwelijke interne documenten. Het bedrijf wilde meten hoeveel dagelijkse gebruikers er zonder de veiligheidsmaatregelen op het platform zouden zitten. De senatoren zijn daar vernietigend over en stellen dat TikTok dit deed uit zorg over de omzet, terwijl er al in 2021 kritische vragen in het Congres werden gesteld over de algoritmes en de mogelijke gevolgen voor kinderen. De actie speelt tegen de achtergrond van de zaak rond Meta en een breder wetgevingstraject. De Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act nam in juni de Senaatsplannen grotendeels over, maar de zorgplichtbepaling die techbedrijven zou verplichten mentale schade bij minderjarigen te voorkomen, sneuvelde in het Huis wegens zorgen over de vrijheid van meningsuiting. Meta wordt grote AI-klant van Microsoft Meta is een van de grootste AI-klanten van Microsoft geworden en betaalt daarvoor honderden miljoenen dollars per jaar. Volgens een bron van Bloomberg koopt Meta toegang tot AI-modellen via Microsofts cloudplatform Azure, waar een AI-marktplaats genaamd Foundry draait met modellen van uiteenlopende aanbieders. Elke week verbruikt Meta daar biljoenen tokens, de rekeneenheid voor AI-gebruik. Ontwikkelaars van Meta gebruiken onder meer OpenAI-modellen via Foundry om de uitkomsten van hun eigen modellen te beoordelen. Ook TikTok, Adobe en Perplexity behoren tot de grote klanten. Microsoft en Meta zijn altijd nauw verbonden geweest; Microsoft was ooit investeerder en verzorgde een tijd de online advertentiehandel, en Bing was zelfs de zoekmachine in Facebook. Meta sloot vorig jaar ook een clouddeal met Google en bouwt inmiddels zelf aan datacentercapaciteit die het wil verhuren, waarmee het op termijn met zijn huidige leveranciers gaat concurreren. Senatoren eisen antwoorden van TikTok over verdorven veiligheidsexperiment Vertrouwelijk TikTok rapport toont achtergehouden algoritmebeveiliging voor miljoenen Duizenden rechtszaken tegen Meta en TikTok over verslavend ontwerp Meta betaalt honderden miljoenen dollars voor AI via Azure van Microsoft Meta bouwt clouddienst om overtollige AI rekenkracht te verkopen Over de maker:Joe van Burik volgt en duidt de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in tech, met scherpte, vlotheid en de nodige humor.

Startpage, een zoekmachine van Nederlandse bodem, is onderdeel van het lijstje standaard zoekmachines van webbrowser Firefox geworden voor Nederlandse, Duitse, Franse, Oostenrijkse en Zwiterse gebruikers. Volgens Firefox was dat de wens van veel gebruikers uit die landen. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. In tegenstelling tot veel andere zoekmachines, maakt Startpage geen gebruik van AI-samenvattingen en zijn er geen gepersonaliseerde advertenties zichtbaar. Geld wordt verdiend met advertenties in de vorm van gesponsorde resultaten die te maken hebben met de zoekopdracht van een gebruiker. 'Adverteerders weten dat en uiteraard levert het minder op dan wanneer we alles weten van een gebruiker', zegt Alex van Eesteren, die Startpage vertegenwoordigd in Nederland. 'Dat maakt niks uit want daar kunnen we prima van leven.' Ook stelt de zoekmachine praktisch gezien geen gegevens van gebruikers te verzamelen. De zoekmachine laat resultaten van Google en Bing zien en zorgt ervoor dat gebruikers die anoniem kunnen bekijken. Daardoor kunnen adverteerders bijvoorbeeld geen profielen over gebruikers opbouwen of daaraan verdienen. Startpage is een Nederlands bedrjif en opereert vanuit Nederland, maar het kent wel een Amerikaanse eigenaar: internetadvertentiebedrijf System1. Hoewel er de laatste tijd veel te doen is om Europese techbedrijven in Amerikaanse handen vanwege privacyzorgen, hoeven Startpage-gebruikers zich volgens Van Eesteren niet druk te maken. 'Het is heel simpel: Startpage is een Nederlandse BV, dus we opereren onder Nederlands recht.' En zelfs als er informatie over gebruikers naar de Verenigde Staten gestuurd zou worden, zou dat volgens Van Eesteren weinig voorstellen. 'We slaan niks op. Geen IP-adressen, geen zoektermen, geen trackingcookies, dus er is niks. Er valt niks te halen.' Nederlandse zoekmachine Startpage wordt standaardoptie voor miljoenen Firefox-gebruikers in Europa Over de maker:Niels Kooloos is dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio te horen over het laatste technieuws in de Tech Update. Hij interesseert zich vooral in cybercriminaliteit, privacy, social media en (computer)hardware. Hier en daar kan je Niels ook in All in the Game horen, waar hij graag vertelt over zijn favoriete games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Want your brand to show up in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini?Here's the uncomfortable truth: LLMs don't crawl the web when they answer your questions. They search traditional indexes — ChatGPT leans on Bing, Gemini uses Google, and Claude appears to pull from Brave. So if you're not ranking in those indexes, you're not even in the consideration pool.Dan Petrovic is one of the most respected (and delightfully nerdy) figures in SEO. He runs the Australian agency Dejan and was the top-rated speaker at Ahrefs Evolve in Singapore, where he presented research from asking Gemini one million questions to map how it ranks brands.In this episode, Tim and Dan unpack what it actually takes to show up in AI search — from the mechanics of how LLMs select sources to the practical steps you can take today.You'll learn the difference between grounding, citations, and mentions (and why a linked mention is the holy grail), why Reddit gets rejected over 90% of the time, why there's no such thing as "prompt volume," and how Dan uses on-page optimization in an agentic loop to make models "unable to resist" a client's page.In this episode:(00:00) Intro(00:48) My brand doesn't show up in ChatGPT — what do I do?(04:02) Two ways to get into AI answers: outreach vs. building your own pages(07:11) Is LLMs.txt actually pointless?(09:29) How ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude each use different search indexes(10:42) Universal ranking factors: topical centrality, engagement, and popularity(17:17) Practical example: what Ahrefs Podcast should actually do(19:31) Should you optimize for every search engine, or just Google?(22:59) How is AEO actually different from SEO?(28:03) Can you influence LLM training data?(33:58) Going nerdy: separating quality content from spam with Gzip compression(37:27) On-page optimization in an agentic loop: making models "unable to resist"(42:45) How often do LLMs ground their answers vs. answer from memory?(47:37) Measuring AI visibility: entities, mention share, and citation share(51:44) Why "prompt search volume" doesn't exist — and what to track instead(56:35) How to generate prompts for tracking AI visibilityWhere to find Dan Petrovic:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dejanseoX: @dejanseoWebsite: dejan.aiWhere to find Tim:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timsouloX: @timsouloWebsite: timsoulo.comReferenced:Dejan — dejan.aiBrave Search — search.brave.comAhrefs — ahrefs.com

In this episode, I'm talking about what actually creates peace with food, because it's probably not what you've been told. Maybe you're still in it, trying every rule and every plan to stop binge eating or emotional eating. Or maybe you've already tried most of what's out there, from books to structured programs, and you're left wondering why none of it fully stuck. Either way, I'm breaking down the four things that actually get you to trusting yourself around food again, and why more willpower or another set of food rules was never going to be one of them.What you'll discover:Why information and support alone weren't enoughThe four things that actually create peace with foodWhy shame keeps people stuck instead of motivating changeWhat it actually feels like to trust yourself around foodIf you've tried nearly everything to stop binge eating or emotional eating and you're starting to wonder what you're missing, this episode is for you.Check out my book The Binge Eating Breakthrough.Join me for the live Book Experience beginning August 18th. Want to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?

Mr. Bing is creating entertainment experiences designed to make people feel as though they have stepped out of the 21st century and into another era. In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, Tom Heath sits down with the Tucson producer and creative visionary behind Mr. Bing's After Dark, an old-Hollywood lounge experience at the Leo Kent Hotel featuring live music, tableside magic and vintage glamour. Bing also shares plans for the Skylark Club at the Treasury, an ambitious supper-club experience combining elevated dining, dancing and nationally recognized performers inside one of downtown Tucson's most distinctive historic spaces. The conversation traces his creative journey from childhood productions on 80 acres outside Palm Springs to a life-changing realization at age 50. That moment led Brian Ewing to embrace the name Mr. Bing and fully commit to the work he believes is his purpose. Learn more about upcoming experiences and performances at MisterBingsPresents.com.

Google Ads, Local Service Ads, ChatGPT advertising, AI search, and Google Business Profile are all changing quickly. In this episode of Torsion Talk, Ryan delivers a rapid-fire breakdown of the latest marketing and AI updates that garage door companies and home service businesses need to understand.Ryan begins with an update on Google's plan to move Local Service Ads into the Google Ads platform. While garage door services were not specifically listed in the first phase of the rollout, additional service businesses may be included later in the year. He explains what is expected to remain the same, including pay-per-lead pricing and placements within Google Search and Maps, as well as the removal of BBB callouts from LSA.The episode also covers Google's decision to remove the $50,000 advertising-spend requirement for lead forms, new developments involving Bing, and recent AI model releases from Claude and Gemini. Ryan discusses how these tools are becoming faster, more capable, and more affordable, as well as how Google is already incorporating its latest AI technology into Search, AI Overviews, and AI Mode.Ryan also explains why Google Business Profile is becoming the center of the local marketing ecosystem. As Google connects Business Profiles with Local Service Ads, Google Ads, Maps, and AI-generated search results, maintaining accurate business information, strong reviews, and a trustworthy online presence is more important than ever.Additional updates include Google's efforts to filter suspicious reviews, changes to ChatGPT Ads budgeting, and the addition of UTM tracking for better advertising attribution. Ryan explains how weekly budgets give advertising platforms more flexibility to spend during periods of higher traffic and why improved tracking can help business owners understand which campaigns are actually producing website visits and leads.The episode concludes with an update on Markinuity's internal AI and automation tools. Ryan shares how the team is testing new systems through “breakathons” to make sure they are reliable, resilient, and ready to support real-world marketing and operational needs.For more conversations about garage door marketing, Google Ads, Local Service Ads, Google Business Profile, ChatGPT Ads, AI automation, local SEO, and business growth, subscribe to Torsion Talk on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.Find Ryan at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://garagedooru.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aaronoverheaddoors.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://markinuity.com/⁠Check out our sponsors!Sommer USA - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://sommer-usa.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Surewinder - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://surewinder.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stealth Hardware - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quietmydoor.com/⁠

Kevin Nealon stopped by to say Happy 250th Birthday America!Along the way, the gang debates the universal husband instinct of staring at broken appliances until they magically repair themselves, why every emergency service somehow funnels through the same call center, and whether Sherry deserves a raise for patiently answering everyone's increasingly desperate phone calls.Then things take a sharp turn into one of the greatest local stories imaginable.A KFC employee in North County decides company policy can wait after tackling an armed robbery suspect in the parking lot. The crew immediately begins casting Jason Statham as an ex-government operative secretly working the drive-thru window in what instantly becomes the greatest action movie Hollywood still hasn't made.As if that wasn't enough, Lern introduces everyone to a surprisingly emotional Netflix movie that sends the conversation spiraling into the slow death of voicemail culture, while the crew debates which everyday things will disappear as older generations fade out. Landlines? VHS tapes? Random messages that somehow sat in your inbox for three years? Nothing is safe.The crew also tackles one listener's parenting dilemma involving an absolutely terrible kid who has officially worn out his welcome, leading to stories about getting banned from friends' houses growing up, terrifying 90s parents, and why sometimes being the parent means embracing the villain role.Throw in weather panic, broken thermostats, neighborhood legends, retirement community shenanigans, bizarre Florida news, homeowner frustration, nostalgic childhood stories, and enough sarcastic commentary to survive even the hottest week of the year, and you've got another unforgettable episode.Whether you're listening on your morning commute, pretending to work, hiding from your broken AC, or simply looking for your favorite daily comedy show, this episode delivers the laughs, ridiculous conversations, and unexpected tangents you've come to expect.Woody back in St. Louis as the gang relives nearly setting Captain Jim's entire fireworks inventory on fire, accidentally launching explosives toward a trailer packed with even more explosives, and wondering how they somehow got invited back every year.Naturally, that turns into an all-out war over weather apps because apparently your choice between Apple Weather, Google Maps, Waze, and The Weather Channel says everything about your personality. Somewhere during the argument Riz admits he's gaming Waze just to earn imaginary points, Woody questions humanity, and Moon becomes Bing's official spokesperson.Then things somehow get even weirder.The crew debates home ownership versus renting, subscription services invading literally everything, catalytic converter thefts, why landlords secretly deserve medals, and whether calling your landlord to change a light bulb should be considered a crime.From there, the conversation completely derails into horrifying toothbrush habits. Seriously...if your toothbrush looks like it fought in several wars, Lern wants you to know she's apparently one of those people. Dentists everywhere may need a moment after this episode.The laughs keep rolling as Woody shares restaurant recommendations from Pittsburgh, everyone debates St. Louis food loyalties, Rafe discovers Corner 17, and the gang somehow lands on one of the most important questions ever asked:Which restaurant logo would you permanently tattoo on your body for free food for life?Today starts with Global Beatles Day as the crew celebrates one of the biggest moments in music history before arguing over the greatest Beatles songs ever recorded. George fans, Paul fans, John fans...and poor Ringo once again catching strays.Then it's straight into celebrity chaos.Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rumors explode after reports of a mysterious Madison Square Garden event, and somehow this turns into an actual gambling pool inside the studio. Is it the wedding? A rehearsal? A giant distraction? Nobody knows—but several people may owe each other money after Fourth of July weekend.Meanwhile, Kirk Hammett has entered what can only be described as his "Sassy Kirk Era," taking shots at modern pop music while somehow becoming everyone's favorite unexpected media personality. The crew fully embraces the new attitude.Chris Kerber joins the show for an extended Blues conversation covering the Jordan Kyrou trade, the Tkachuk family's incredible week, NHL Draft speculation, Jordan Binnington rumors, Curtis Joseph's Hall of Fame case, and where the franchise goes next.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Star Wars Kid was named Ghislaine Racist and he actually got all his moves from Power Rangers but it was the version from Guam where they fight coconut crabs. So many boys only date you until they can get on the kiss cam proposing to you and then they take an Uber home and block your number. The rest of them are wistful to a fault like Brandon Flowers and all they want to do is Bing their friends from 1997

Some shows carefully plan every segment.This is not one of those shows.Today's daily comedy show starts with Woody back in St. Louis as the gang relives nearly setting Captain Jim's entire fireworks inventory on fire, accidentally launching explosives toward a trailer packed with even more explosives, and wondering how they somehow got invited back every year.Naturally, that turns into an all-out war over weather apps because apparently your choice between Apple Weather, Google Maps, Waze, and The Weather Channel says everything about your personality. Somewhere during the argument Riz admits he's gaming Waze just to earn imaginary points, Woody questions humanity, and Moon becomes Bing's official spokesperson.Then things somehow get even weirder.The crew debates home ownership versus renting, subscription services invading literally everything, catalytic converter thefts, why landlords secretly deserve medals, and whether calling your landlord to change a light bulb should be considered a crime.From there, the conversation completely derails into horrifying toothbrush habits. Seriously...if your toothbrush looks like it fought in several wars, Lern wants you to know she's apparently one of those people. Dentists everywhere may need a moment after this episode.The laughs keep rolling as Woody shares restaurant recommendations from Pittsburgh, everyone debates St. Louis food loyalties, Rafe discovers Corner 17, and the gang somehow lands on one of the most important questions ever asked:Which restaurant logo would you permanently tattoo on your body for free food for life?There's also plenty of classic Rizz Show chaos involving stolen weather stations, neighborhood conspiracy theories, terrible station vehicles, Emos debates, Joya's love, In-N-Out slander, Shake Shack arguments, and enough sarcastic roasting to remind you exactly why hanging out with these idiots somehow feels like hanging out with your own friends.If you like ridiculous conversations that start somewhere sensible before immediately driving off the nearest cliff, this daily comedy show delivers exactly what you'd expect—and several things you definitely wouldn't.Whether you're listening during your commute, pretending to work, or hiding from your own responsibilities, thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day.And remember...Never trust someone whose toothbrush looks like a frightened peacock.This daily comedy show proudly serves sarcasm, questionable opinions, and absolutely zero meteorological expertise.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rafe's AC struggles—and every company advertising "24/7 emergency service" suddenly has very different ideas about what "24/7" actually means. After hours of phone calls, troubleshooting that mostly consisted of standing around with hands on hips pretending to understand electrical panels, and enough thermostat resets to qualify for an engineering degree, the crew wonders if homeowner subscriptions have officially replaced common sense.Along the way, the gang debates the universal husband instinct of staring at broken appliances until they magically repair themselves, why every emergency service somehow funnels through the same call center, and whether Sherry deserves a raise for patiently answering everyone's increasingly desperate phone calls.Then things take a sharp turn into one of the greatest local stories imaginable.A KFC employee in North County decides company policy can wait after tackling an armed robbery suspect in the parking lot. The crew immediately begins casting Jason Statham as an ex-government operative secretly working the drive-thru window in what instantly becomes the greatest action movie Hollywood still hasn't made.As if that wasn't enough, Lern introduces everyone to a surprisingly emotional Netflix movie that sends the conversation spiraling into the slow death of voicemail culture, while the crew debates which everyday things will disappear as older generations fade out. Landlines? VHS tapes? Random messages that somehow sat in your inbox for three years? Nothing is safe.The crew also tackles one listener's parenting dilemma involving an absolutely terrible kid who has officially worn out his welcome, leading to stories about getting banned from friends' houses growing up, terrifying 90s parents, and why sometimes being the parent means embracing the villain role.Throw in weather panic, broken thermostats, neighborhood legends, retirement community shenanigans, bizarre Florida news, homeowner frustration, nostalgic childhood stories, and enough sarcastic commentary to survive even the hottest week of the year, and you've got another unforgettable episode.Whether you're listening on your morning commute, pretending to work, hiding from your broken AC, or simply looking for your favorite daily comedy show, this episode delivers the laughs, ridiculous conversations, and unexpected tangents you've come to expect.Woody back in St. Louis as the gang relives nearly setting Captain Jim's entire fireworks inventory on fire, accidentally launching explosives toward a trailer packed with even more explosives, and wondering how they somehow got invited back every year.Naturally, that turns into an all-out war over weather apps because apparently your choice between Apple Weather, Google Maps, Waze, and The Weather Channel says everything about your personality.

George fans, Paul fans, John fans...and poor Ringo once again catching strays.Then it's straight into celebrity chaos.Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rumors explode after reports of a mysterious Madison Square Garden event, and somehow this turns into an actual gambling pool inside the studio. Is it the wedding? A rehearsal? A giant distraction? Nobody knows—but several people may owe each other money after Fourth of July weekend.Meanwhile, Kirk Hammett has entered what can only be described as his "Sassy Kirk Era," taking shots at modern pop music while somehow becoming everyone's favorite unexpected media personality.
