Podcasts about both jared

It's CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY!!

Welcome back to the latest episode of the Niche Pursuits News Podcast, where Spencer and Jared share everything that's happened related to Google, SEO, and publishers in the last week. Spencer and Jared kick off the episode talking about the Google Spam Update, which has concluded after a week. They share the chatter on Twitter, where people are seeing positive results and upticks in traffic.  What do Spencer and Jared think is going on? Moving along, the conversation shifts to AI Overviews and a change in Google's strategy where it's posting the link cards above the AI answer. As Spencer says, this is great news for publishers, and Jared agrees that it's a best-case scenario in the current situation. Although this is a test, Jared makes a great if not sad point. Tune in to hear what he says. And last in the news for this week, they talk about Google's decision to drop the continuous scroll in search results.  This feature originally launched on mobile in October 2021 and on desktop in December 2022, so it hasn't been operational for that long.  Spencer shares why he thinks the continuous scroll might have been advantageous and how he feels about this change, and Jared shares his opinion as well. What did Google say about it? Before you know it, it's time to move on to their Shiny Object Shenanigans. Spencer goes first, and admits he can't stop checking his Facebook stats.  He talks about a Facebook page he's had for about a year, with 65k followers, in a far-out niche. On June 3rd, he got accepted into the Facebook Bonus Program and started to post 15 times a day in an effort to get more engagement on the platform. Since he got into the program, his earnings have exceeded his expectations and he's had about 3 posts go viral. How much did he make and how many people saw his posts? How did he come up with the ideas for the posts? He shares a lot of details, but if you want the whole scoop, consider joining the Niche Pursuits Community! Spencer offers some great advice and also offers an update on a site that recently got accepted into Mediavine Journey. When it's Jared's turn, he talks about incorporating Pinterest into his strategy. He shares what he's doing, where he's getting the images, the templates he's created, how he's testing pins, what he's doing with boards, etc. He shares his stats to date, even though he just started, and also gives an update on his newsletter. Both Jared and Spencer highlight something important to remember when building a business. What mistake do most people make? Then it's time for some Weird Niche Sites. Spencer goes first and shares Get YouTube Thumbnail which, as the name suggests, lets you see the thumbnail for any YouTube video. He explains how and why he has used the site in the past. The site has tons of display ads, has 9k organic visitors per month and, most interestingly, has a ton of competitors. How much do they think the site is making per month? When it's Jared's turn, he gets ready to share what he believes is the weirdest niche site ever featured on the podcast. That site is One Million Checkboxes, which is totally fascinating and indeed very, very weird. Jared shares the backstory about the creator, some of his funny tweets, and shocking stats behind this viral site, so tune in to hear all about it.

Picture yourself in the shoes of a man who has lost his brother to suicide and succumbed to the depths of alcohol addiction. That's the raw and heart-wrenching journey of our guest, Jared Zimmerman, whose courage led him to ultimate recovery. Today's podcast with Jared Zimmerman will impact you no matter who you are.  Both Jared and his wife's family are what we affectionally call a “grove family.”  That means that both of their families went to school with ours at the little country school called Forest Grove.  Heartache still finds its way into beautiful families raising kids out in the country, as you will soon hear.  God has woven together a story of suicide, addiction, family, and strength that, as painful as it is, Jared is using that story for God's purpose. Jared and Summer are a living testimony of what it looks like to live your faith out loud to encourage and walk alongside others in their pain.   As he paints a vivid picture of his struggles, from the anguish of losing his brother to the stigma of mental health, we can't help but be moved by his resilience and determination.We'll introduce you to the amazing business they recently launched,  "Inspire One Life," a beacon of hope for those battling mental health challenges. Driven by their personal experiences, they are turning their pain into a platform for spreading positivity and mental health awareness. As we discuss the poignant messages conveyed by their merchandise, you'll be inspired by their resilience and determination. Summer shared a verse with me that seemed very fitting as I sat with them.  Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Knowing these two lovely people since they were very young made it even more special to sit and share our stories together; even more special is that these are things that the fingerprints of God are all over.  There's a special meaning to that last sentence; listen for it in the podcast!You can find out more about Inspire 1 Life!Website: www.inspire1life.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inspireonelife/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inspireonelifeapparel There are many podcasts for women and sobriety, but very few for women seeking information and stories from others about faith-based recovery. Could you leave a review for the SS Podcast? Subscribing and Reviewing will help get this in the ears of those searching for God's word in Recovery. I'm trying hard to get the word out, and this is a way you can be a part of the solution as well. Thank you!

Share your thoughts HERE. Watch on YouTube Transcript coming soon Highlights 2:10 Kurt introduces the episode's topic and conversation with Jared and Matt. A coaching framework called RESPECT. 4:20 Introduction to Jared and Matt. 5:40 Coaching is about creating culture. The origin for the word "culture" in Latin, and means to care. So culture really is caring about people. 6:50 What is coaching? 7:45 Both Jared and Matt are certified in RESPECT coaching styles. There are 7 different coaching styles you can use. You can use many styles with the same person. 12:50 R in RESPECT stands for the RALLIER style of coaching. This style is the driver. Setting goals and measurables. Ways to move the coachee forward. 16:30 The E in RESPECT is the EDUCATOR. It's a lecture or education to teach a skill or fill in knowledge. General conference is all about educating. Parenting your child is teaching them and making sure they are learning. 19:20 The S is for the STRATEGIST style of coaching. It's finding solutions to problems. They are addressing a problem. 21:10 The P stands for the PROVOCATEUR. This style of coaching makes people squirm the most. It's poking a hole in someone's logic and it's often speaking the unspeakable truth. Jesus was a great example of a provocateur. 26:00 The second E in RESPECT is EXPLORE. Asking questions that even you as the coach don't know the answer to. 29:20 The C in RESPECT stands for the CONFIDANT. The opposite of the provocateur. They ask about feelings and how the coachee interprets things. It's like a warm blanket and validation. It's about listening to work things out. 32:30 The T stands for TRANSFORMER. You can use this when somebody has gone through something difficult and you can have them reflect on that. This style of coaching can be used to help people see either how far they've come or where they could be in six months. 36:00 When you are coaching, you have to ask questions instead of making statements. 38:00 For the leader that wants to use these styles of coaching but feels overwhelmed: You don't have to be an expert. 41:50 Jared and Matt coach Kurt as an example of the different styles of coaching and questions that you can use. 50:00 When picking a style of coaching, ask yourself, what do I know about the coachee and their circumstance? Start with a style and if it doesn't work then pivot to a different style. Explorer can be a great style to start with. 52:20 What would be a good Provocateur question to use as church leaders? These questions are hard questions that come from a place of love. 57:45 Another thing that we can do in coaching is make questions direct or indirect. 59:00 A style that people struggle with is Transformer. However, Transformer can be a way that we turn the hard things that we are going through in life and learn to see them as blessings. 1:05:40 Resources for learning more about RESPECT ...

In this series finale, host Jared Bradley and guest Jimmi Toro unpack the widespread issue of unaddressed trauma in society and its healing importance. Jimmi  also highlights the critical role of mothers in shielding children from predators and discusses symbolism in art as a means to process trauma.Both Jared and Jimmi acknowledge that trauma's physical effects are well known; stress can profoundly impact the body. However, they emphasize that extreme trauma can lead to even harsher consequences. The hormonal response to such events can cause a dramatic bodily reaction, preparing for fight, flight, or even freeze.Interestingly, Jimmi sheds light on the potential for transformative healing from trauma. He explains the possibility of a metaphorical time travel, altering past experiences to release stored trauma, which could trigger a swift recovery.Yet, as Jimmi warns, the journey is not always smooth. Lingering trauma and recurring anxiety can progressively impact physical health. Hence, he encourages listeners to acknowledge the physical toll of trauma and seek help when required.In conclusion, this insightful episode with Jared and Jimmi emphasizes the physical toll of trauma and the crucial need for addressing such experiences to prevent lasting damage. Jimmi's personal journey underscores that healing is challenging yet achievable, requiring a mental voyage into past traumas. But the result of this strenuous process can be transformative and bring about a quick path to recovery.Jimmi Toro is an American contemporary artist, author, composer, multi-instrumentalist, music producer, and a founder of Rescue11, a non-profit whose mission is to protect our children from awful child abusers.TakeawaysSeek therapy to face and heal trauma.Explore art therapy for trauma processing.Use positive self-talk to cultivate hope.ConnectJimmi Toro: www.linkedin.com/in/jimmi-toro-25ab7714Website: www.jimmitoro.comAmazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1J9ZRTQJared Bradley: www.linkedin.com/in/jaredvbradleyDNA Retrieval: www.m-vac.comSupport the showAll Things Crime is a new, comprehensive video series that will explore every aspect of crime and the ensuing investigation, one video interview at a time.

Fresh off the NBA All-Star Weekend, the Relatively Speaking Podcast is ready to jam information, insight and entertainment inside your cranium. The show begins with what is easily the largest happening over the weekend. With the Sacramento Kings sending Boogie Cousins to the New Orleans Pelicans for three peanuts, Buddy Hield and a six-pack of McNuggets, Jared and Joseph both verbally ponder the decision to finally deal the talented big man. With the discussion getting heated, it morphs into another topic concerning the use of the term "unicorn" to describe big men in today's NBA. Both Jared and Joseph believe that the term is used, and that if unicorns are meant to be rare, having so many of them in a sport makes it pointless. Do we expect any other big NBA trades to happen before the trade deadline? The answer is mostly a no, but some possible scenarios are mentioned. Bad Tweets is gone the way of the dinosaurs, friends. But no need to worry, as a replacement segment has been added to the Relatively Speaking Podcast. Today is the debut of Conspiracy Theories, and the world will never be the change. The show ends with Absurd Questions. Or, more accurately, Joseph changes Jared's world view forever by introducing him to the Mandela Effect theory. Jared has his own Absurd Question to add to this specific segment, but by the time the guys get to it, they aren't so sure about Sinbad being in a genie-movie at all. Don't you remember Sinbad in a genie-movie?

Here is to hoping you had a great weekend because the Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you regret everything you failed to accomplish. All jokes aside (maybe), it was a pretty terrific sports weekend. This episode of the Relatively Speaking Podcast begins with Kevin Durant's return to Oklahoma City. While the crowd was busy being scorned lovers and chanting cupcake for some reason, Durant and the Warriors simply destroyed the Thunder. Jared and Joseph discuss why it is rather comical that OKC fans were that heated for one of their former players returning to play. Also of note, Russell Westbrook narratives have been flipped 180 degrees. Both Jared and Joseph are cool with it, but do find great irony in the idea that we are cool with Russ screaming smacktalk when down 18 points now, but in 2014 he would have been murdered for it. Portland and Denver trades some pieces this weekend. Twitter nearly lost its mind over it. Our heroic hosts, on the other hand, say this trade -- in the grand scheme of things -- means about as much as that time a person awkwardly gazed at you from across the room in the break room. The NCAA Tournament Selection Committee did its first ever early-look at the top-16 seeds. Neither host is angered about this. Joseph, however, does shoehorn in a Duke hot-take as well as some love for Stony Brook coach Jeff Boals. Absurd Questions is fun this week. Jared's question involves the Grammy's... in which neither of the hosts actually watched. Joseph's had to do with a member of the human species being a basketball program or something. Likely something, but whatever with the semantics.

The Relatively Speaking Podcast in all its infamous glory. Right up there with Billy The Kid and Egon Spangler as hugely important historical figures, the Relatively Speaking Podcast is here to help you ease into your weekend. LeBron James called out the front office of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He, apparently, wants another player of relative value on the roster. Joseph feels him, as James averaging the most minutes per game in the NBA seems silly. As for Jared, he sees it more both sides of the fence. A terrible, always winning, fence. Hey, the Chicago Bulls seem like a disaster. Veteran leaders calling out everyone on the roster. Rajon Rondon clapping back. Fred Hoiberg being, well, dreamy -- of course. Both Jared and Joseph think it is time for the Bulls to blowup the team. Ask Me Anything segment: If you can pick any singular player in the history of an NBA Franchise and insert him on today's team, who would it be and why? For what it is worth, Joseph goes on a four minute role player rant. Coach K banned Duke things from Duke players. Jared is a Duke fan so he is a homer, but does a good job offsetting Joseph who gets a bit heavy handed with his critiques of the coach. Who are the most powerful sport media people? According to one list, it is a bunch of guys from shows very few people watch. For the first time in the podcast's history, Jared and Joseph get in a legit argument. It turned out to be, we think, fun -- and wholly ironic.
