Marketer of the Day with Robert Plank: Get Daily Insights from the Top Internet Marketers & Entrepreneurs Around the World

Even highly capable leaders with clear strategies and strong skills can find themselves stuck, frustrated, or in recurring conflict often because their own brains are quietly working against them beneath the surface. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, executive coach and neuroleadership expert Carlos Davidovich, author of Five Brain Leadership, explains how understanding your “five brains” can radically improve the way you lead, communicate, and build teams that actually think for themselves. Carlos draws on his unique background as both an MD and a business coach to bridge hard neuroscience with real-world leadership challenges. Instead of drowning in theory, he shows how instinct, emotion, intuition, rational thinking, the heart, and the gut all act like different “voices” in our internal leadership team, and how knowing which one is running the show in any moment can be the difference between conflict and collaboration, burnout and growth, bottlenecks and scalable success. You'll hear how many leaders unintentionally create the very problems they complain about like micromanaging teams that constantly come to them for decisions, or “bully” managers who get short-term results while shutting down their team's creativity and rational thinking. Carlos explains how the reptilian (survival) brain can hijack meetings, trigger fear, and cause teams to do the bare minimum, while the rational and intuitive brains sit on the sidelines. Through practical reframing techniques, he helps leaders stop taking everything personally, recognize their own role in unhealthy patterns, and reset expectations so their teams can finally step up. Carlos also shares why change in leadership behavior almost always triggers resistance, and why that's actually a sign you're on the right track, not proof you should revert to old habits. He walks through how to introduce new rules around autonomy (“bring me your proposal, not just your problem”), what to expect when some people choose to leave rather than grow, and how that natural filtering process leads to stronger, more proactive teams over time. https://youtu.be/CNGRyb3sB4E?si=9Ci-ABJ4oWYiNKNz If you've ever wondered why your team seems dependent on you, why tension escalates so quickly, or why your best ideas never quite translate into consistent behavior, this conversation will give you a new mental model for leadership. By learning to speak the other person's “brain language,” recognizing which of your five brains is in charge, and leaving a little room for “magic” instead of over-controlling every outcome, you can create a culture where people think, decide, and lead alongside you, not just follow orders. Quotes: "If I leave everything to my reptilian brain, you will be fighting all day, and hardly you will get to a positive outcome." "Remember that communication is your ability or capacity to speak the other person's language, not yours." "Many times we are generating situations that, in the end, we don't like, and we don't see that we were the ones generating the situation at the beginning."

How does ADHD manifest uniquely in women across their lifespan, and why are so many high-achieving professionals being missed or misdiagnosed? In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, Dave talks with Dr. Jolene Brighten, naturopathic endocrinologist, nutrition scientist, and author of "ADHD and Women" to unpack the often-overlooked nuances of neurodivergence in female professionals. Dr. Brighten shares her insights as a late-diagnosed "AuDHDer," explaining how hormonal shifts, cultural expectations, and internalized hyperactivity create distinct challenges for women in business, health, and daily life. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?

HEADLINES: Four men have been interviewed by Victoria Police detectives this week as part of investigations into the sexual assault allegations linked to the Sydney Swans AFL club. Police are investigating after a man was shot dead in Sydney’s west in what detectives believe was a targeted daylight attack. Consent advocate Chanel Contos has told National Press Club that big tech is radicalising young men into harmful sexual behaviour, and is pushing for a ban on social media algorithms. The world is on track to exceed 1.5 degrees of global warming within years, according to a new UN report. So it turns out we’ve all been drinking water wrong. And good news for animal lovers about the New Zealand kākāpō. New research suggests the real damage in contact sports might not be happening on game day, but during training, and it's raising urgent questions for anyone with a kid on a footy field this weekend. On this episode of The Quicky, we look at the degenerative brain disease increasingly turning up in Australian football codes, from AFL and AFLW to soccer, and why doctors believe the cumulative hits from years of junior sport could matter more than any single big hit. We hear from leading neurologist Dr Rowena Mobbs on what parents and clubs can actually do about it, and why the answer isn't pulling your kid off the field.Important concussion advice from Dr Rowena Mobbs, neurologist at Mater Hospital Sydney: - Keep brain health front of mind.- Carefully observe the athlete if a concussion is suspected and follow the protocols.- Know the red flags that may indicate a more serious brain injury: Neck pain - Increasing confusion, agitation or irritability - Repeated vomiting - Seizure or convulsion - Weakness or tingling/burning in the arms or legs - Deteriorating conscious state - Severe or increasing headache - Unusual behavioural change - Loss of vision or double vision - Visible deformity of the skull - Loss of consciousness. - If you see these signs, seek emergency care."

Before she became Lady London, Zaire Stewart was a fly toddler exploring New York City's unique beauty culture. At just three years old, she was being carted to Dominican hair salons, getting her hair washed and pressed by the same women she still visits today. Her mother kept her dapper in DKNY and Moschino as they traveled between the Bronx and New Jersey. Greatly influenced by the beauty and brilliance of the women in her family, an aunt with an interest in global politics and anti-apartheid messaging recommended her name; it's no wonder Lady London is such a cultural force. In 2018, Lady London developed an interest in music, built on a foundational love of literature from childhood to college. Lady London joined Naked Beauty to talk about how she discovered she had presence and how she wielded it into a nearly decade-long career and fanbase of more than a million people.During our conversation, we talked about how she learned to maintain her composure as a public figure and how her confidence can't be shaken by industry execs or online trolls. Lady London shares that her confidence was well earned, as it took her some time to accept that she could be beautiful and smart without downplaying one or the other. We get some tips on how to model that self-assurance during the Show & Tell portion of the show, when Lady London demonstrates how not to be baited. Of course, we learn all about her beauty rituals, tips, and favorite perfumes. We got other advice from Lady London, including how she mentors women coming into the industry behind her, and what she's learned from the hip-hop legend pouring into her. Lady London is a creative force, poet, rapper, executive producer, mentor, and hobby enthusiast.

SUMMER REPLAY: Why "Back to School" Wrecks ADHD Brains (and the Reframe That Helps!)

Something Shiny: ADHD!

If you have ADHD, the back to school season hits from every direction at once. The end of summer. The end of freedom, staying up late, seeing your people. Then the start of everything: school, homework, earlier mornings, packed schedules. David calls it two oceans slamming together. If you're a parent watching your kid melt down over grab-your-backpack-let's-go, you're losing bandwidth just as fast as they are. Probably blaming yourself for it too. And no kids? This season still finds you. Your routines scramble right along with everyone else's, whatever's going around the schools lands in your workplace within weeks, and even just seeing the school supplies out in stores can stir up feelings you thought you left behind years ago.The refusing, the stalling, the "I don't wanna," yours or your kid's, is very often something else entirely. David and Isabelle get into why every demand costs more this season. Why even a pleasant thing can feel like one ask too many. Then the reframe that changed how Isabelle parents, sees clients, and talks to herself. When her clients hear it, the first thing they say is some version of: oh my gosh, I'm not lazy or stubborn. She demonstrates it with nothing but her ten fingers, and it comes with real relief you can use this week: what to lower, what to stop expecting of yourself during the transition, and how to respond to the meltdown, yours or theirs, with help instead of blame.Also in here: Isabelle shares something personal she's just starting to explore about her own brain. Plus the greatest allergy medication story ever recorded on this podcast, in which Isabelle, fully awake in her own apartment, watches a hallucinated Tim Curry wander into her kitchen looking for a snack.This is also the last episode of our Summer Replay series.

Here are some of the terms and people mentioned in this episode explained:The Histamine Thing Isabelle promises the science on this one, so here it is. Histamine isn't just the allergy chemical, it's a brain neurotransmitter that keeps you awake and alert, and allergy meds that cross into the brain mess with exactly that system. She was not talking pseudoscience. Read the research here. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19843401/)Legend The 1985 fantasy movie starring Tom Cruise covered in glitter, with Tim Curry as a giant horned demon. Eighties scary was a different animal. This one stayed with Isabelle from childhood, which matters once a common allergy medicine meets her subconscious.Boy by Roald Dahl The autobiography of the author behind Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG. Read it once, then you understand why his books are full of kids surviving a scary, unfair world run by cruel adults, and why the sensitive, kind kid is always the hero. Find it here. (https://www.amazon.com/Boy-Tales-Childhood-Roald-Dahl/dp/014241381X)Tim Curry's Davy Crockett A real track from Disney's Music From The Park, a real 1996 album of popular artists covering the classic catalog. The Barenaked Ladies doing Grim Grinning Ghosts is on there too. Tim Curry does Davy Crockett as spoken jazz, fully Tim Curry, at one point just asking "David Crockett?" like he's questioning the man himself. You cannot make this up. It plays a surprising role in this episode. Hear it here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_TvXa3TtPI)Persistent Drive to Autonomy (PDA) A term rooted in the autism community, originally called pathological demand avoidance. David and Isabelle both have complicated feelings about the label. Isabelle prefers pervasive demand avoidance, or persistent drive to autonomy. What it describes is the heart of this episode, and it applies across the whole neurospicy spectrum.AuDHD Having both autism and ADHD. Isabelle shares that she's genuinely curious where she lands. Doing this work professionally hasn't made the answer obvious. Recognizing yourself in the people you love and just get? That's its own kind of data.Spoons Shorthand from spoon theory. You start the day with a limited number, everything costs at least one, and when they're gone, they're gone. Isabelle's clients reach for this language the moment they finally stop calling themselves lazy.-------

Originally aired: March, 2022Melanie welcomes back Dr. Richard Freed, author of Wired Child and a practicing Clinical Psychologist and supervisor studying the effects of technology on children. He is on the advisory board of ScreenStrong and is a contributor to many well-respected publications. A link to Dr. Freed's article, The Tech Industry's War on Kids, is included in the show notes. Melanie asks Richard to provide our listeners his perspective on frequently asked questions from parents related to screens in the classroom, how to modify and/or request help with reducing screen use for homework, how to request a support letter for an in-school accommodation for your child, and one of the most difficult questions to answer, what to say to your child that is struggling with addictive behaviors. Their discussion addresses how technology has changed the school experience and learning opportunities for our children, which have significantly impacted children's development of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), which encompasses the growth of personal identity, communication, empathy, and healthy connections with parents, teachers, and coaches within the overall community setting.

Not everyone has the same relationship with social contact. Introverts, for example, recharge by spending time alone. Meanwhile extroverts get their energy from being around other people. But here's the thing: being introverted or enjoying solitude isn't the same as being lonely. Loneliness can actually become painful, and even harmful, when it drags on for too long.

A single negative review can dramatically impact your sales, credibility, and customer trust, especially on Amazon. But what if some of those reviews should never have been there in the first place?In this episode of Business, Brains & The Bottom Line, Paul Di Liegro sits down with Shane Barker, founder of TraceFuse and one of the world's leading digital marketing experts, to discuss the hidden world of online reviews and why reputation management has become mission-critical for every business selling online.After spending more than 20 years helping Fortune 500 companies grow their digital presence, Shane turned his attention to Amazon, where he discovered that abusive and policy-violating negative reviews were costing sellers millions in lost revenue. That discovery led him to create TraceFuse, the first Terms of Service-compliant system designed to remove illegitimate Amazon reviews without risking a seller's account.Paul and Shane dive into the psychology behind customer reviews, the difference between legitimate criticism and abusive feedback, why many businesses unknowingly damage their own credibility, and what every business owner should understand before responding to a negative review.Whether you're an Amazon seller, an e-commerce entrepreneur, or any business that depends on online reputation, this conversation offers practical strategies for protecting one of your most valuable business assets: trust.Topics discussed include:Why online reviews influence buying decisions more than everThe real cost of a single negative reviewLegitimate criticism vs. reviews that violate platform policiesCommon mistakes businesses make when responding to unhappy customersHow reputation management impacts long-term revenueWhy a white-hat approach is critical for Amazon sellersBuilding customer trust in an increasingly competitive marketplaceThe future of AI, e-commerce, and online reputation managementIf your business lives online, your reputation is your brand.

Example: "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix , many think the lyrics say, “Scuse me while I kiss this guy” instead of “Scuse me while I kiss the sky.” Why do the wrong lyrics stick in our brains so hard, and what song did you completely misunderstand until someone ruined it with the truth? Andy Cohen was asked why there are so many MAGA women on Real Housewives, and his answer was pretty simple: reality TV reflects conflict, personality, money, ego, status, and the culture around it. So why are people surprised that politics shows up there too? Are these shows shaping the culture or just reflecting it? The latest on the investigation into the death of Nolan Wells, including questions about a reported altercation and the claims spreading online. What has actually been confirmed, what remains unclear, and how do you separate real information from speculation in a case that has drawn so much emotion and national attention?

Habits and Hustle

Is a lack of motivation a personality flaw, or a signal from your brain that something needs attention? We tend to think brain decline begins with memory loss, but changes in motivation, behavior, attention, and decision-making can show up much earlier. Apathy can look like laziness. Poor sleep can feel like memory loss. Doom scrolling gets blamed on dopamine, even though the science does not support many of the claims people repeat online. And the habits we rely on for brain health are often based more on trends than evidence. This matters because your brain is constantly deciding whether a reward is worth the effort. When that calculation becomes harder, doing even simple things can feel overwhelming. Understanding how motivation works can help you reduce friction, take action before you feel ready, build routines that support your brain, and pay closer attention to changes in yourself or someone you love. Purpose matters. Curiosity matters. Relationships matter. And movement may be one of the most effective tools we have for protecting cognitive health. Dr. Masud Husain is one of the world's leading neurologists studying memory, motivation, attention, and cognitive decline. He is a professor of neurology at Oxford University, co-leads Dementia Research at Oxford University, and serves as editor-in-chief of Brain, one of the most respected journals in neurology. He is also the author of Our Brains, Ourselves, which explores how the brain shapes our behavior, identity, relationships, and sense of self. What's Discussed: (06:01) Why losing motivation can appear before memory problems and signal early cognitive decline. (08:07) How apathy differs from depression, even when the behavior looks almost identical. (12:14) What two tiny strokes revealed about the brain circuit responsible for motivation. (20:55) How purpose, curiosity, and strong relationships help protect the aging brain. (22:23) Why unmotivated people may use more brain energy deciding whether something is worth the effort. (24:54) What dopamine actually does and why it is not the brain's pleasure chemical. (26:31) Why the idea that social media gives you constant dopamine hits is not supported by evidence. (34:50) Whether Alzheimer's can be reversed and what current treatments can realistically accomplish. (45:17) How breaking tasks into smaller steps, starting before you feel ready, and building routines can create motivation. (57:12) Whether relying on AI is making our brains lazier and changing how we think. (01:01:36) How loneliness and isolation affect cognitive performance and long-term brain health. (01:07:22) How poor sleep, anxiety, and low mood can create memory problems that feel like dementia.   Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Allie looks at what the prosecution and the defense are arguing and digs into the problem with SSRIs; how they are being pushed on women before, during, and after pregnancy. However, even considering her mental struggles, Lindsay still displayed deliberate premeditation and cruelty that needs to be taken seriously.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Start here: Stop Trying to “Fix” Your ADHD. You're Not Broken: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up_____Faye Lawrence got blackout drunk at 13. What she remembers is not the drinking. It is the relief.She started drinking heavily as a teenager and kept going for decades. From the outside she looked successful and high functioning, right up until late 2017, when the wheels came off the cart and she found herself in inpatient detox.She got sober. Then she waited five more years to find out why she had been drinking in the first place. Faye was diagnosed with ADHD at 48, and suddenly the chaos, the burnout, the emotional intensity, the boredom, and the constant need to switch her brain off all made sense. Alcohol had not come out of nowhere. It had been doing a job.Faye is now a certified grey area drinking coach and ADDCA certified ADHD coach with degrees in psychology and counselling, and she has spoken at TEDx and SXSW. She founded Untoxicated, which grew into Australia's largest alcohol-free social community back when being sober was decidedly uncool.In this episode, Tracy and Faye get into grey area drinking and why the all-or-nothing label keeps people stuck, what alcohol is actually doing in an ADHD brain, the mummy wine culture that was sold to women on purpose, and why the carrot works where the stick never will.If you have ever needed a drink to get your brain to be quiet, this conversation is not here to shame you. It is here to give you clarity.ResourcesWebsite: https://fayelawrence.com.auInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_fayelawrence_Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FayeLawrenceCoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/faye-lawrence-ausFree Wine O'Clock reset guide: https://fayelawrence.com.au/tracyo ADHD-alcohol small group coaching program also opens in mid-August: https://fayelawrence.com.au/loopSend a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Explore more from me:
