Bridget Brennan discusses her groundbreaking Four Corners investigation into Victorias Yoorrook Justice Commision. 

President Donald Trump imposed ten percent tariffs on Chinese imports earlier this week, just a day after the tariffs on Canada and Mexico were put on a 30-day pause. The White House says the tariffs are punishing China for allowing fentanyl into the United States. Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, Kip Tom, joins to share why farmers like him will benefit from the tariffs and what it will mean for the economy. Fentanyl is now considered the deadliest drug in American history, and President Trump's administration has levied tariffs on China in an effort to end ‘the mass invasion of fentanyl in our country.' Calling it a “national emergency,” the Trump administration says Chinese manufacturers are knowingly selling chemicals to further fentanyl production at our borders. New York City Special Narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan explains how chemical sales from China circumvent the legal system and worsen the fentanyl crisis. Later, she explains the role of social media and the border play in the nation's illegal drug trade. Plus, commentary by a former U.S. Secretary of Energy, Rick Perry.

In today's episode, we're exploring one of the most powerful forces driving the global economy: women buyers. Whether you sell B2B, B2C, high-end furniture, software as a service, life coaching, or books, the chances are that women are often making the decision to buy from you or not. Knowing how to connect with, build trust with, and respect women buyers is really important if you want to sell to them. And trust me, with a total global spending power of $18 trillion, equivalent to the world's second biggest economy, you need to know how to sell to women buyers.

If you're ready to grow your company by tapping into the $18 trillion female consumer opportunity, or the countless more corporate trillions women control across the world, you're in the right place. This episode is essential listening because I'm giving you the three most important strategies for successfully selling to women. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: The massive opportunity that exists for you when you know how to sell to women. How so many companies have failed in their attempts to appeal to the female market. Why word-of-mouth publicity is so important for female-focused businesses. Emaan's deep and sincere passion for trustworthy products that has helped her tap into the huge spending power that women possess. How to start leading with your social mission and why this always helps you connect with women buyers. The difference between having sincere passion for your products versus displaying it.

Bridget Brennan is the Special Narcotics Prosecutor for the City of New York. Responsible for prosecuting major drug related crime that stretches over the City's five boroughs, Bridget has experienced severe changes in the narcotics landscape since taking the role 2 decades ago.Today the country is being ravaged by Fentanyl, and New York is no different. Pouring in from Mexico, this cheap and easily concealable drug is finding its way into everything, from cocaine, to heroin and prescription pills like Oxy and Xanax.With a fatal dose equating to a little finger-nail, getting the importation and distribution of this under control is critical. Today we talk about how this is being done, the interesting nuances of New York City in this regard, and more philosophically about the ‘war on drugs'.Please enjoy my conversation with Bridget Brennan.

'The Wrap' is RN Drive's summary of the biggest stories of the week, plus some you may have missed.

In this week's episode, Bridget Brennan, journalist and former Europe correspondent for the ABC, tells her story of returning from London mid-pandemic to become a first-time mother. Despite moving back in large part for family support, border closures put an end to that plan. And after the crushing realisation that her mother wouldn't be able to be with her for the birth and postpartum, her father passed away just a day after her little boy was born.We talk about everything from the incredible Malabar midwives program for indigenous women, breastfeeding struggles, mothers group, what happened when Bridget's husband returned to work, sleep angst, asking for help and lots more.Malabar Midwives: https://www.royalwomen.org.au/areas-of-the-royal/departments/malabar-midwifery-servicesRhea Dempsey: https://www.birthingwisdom.com.au/

Episode 4 of The School of Success Podcast Series is now live! The perfect gift of self-love and time-out from busy weekly life

My grandpa once told me that it is a woman’s prerogative to change her mind. In every scenario and especially in business, you have the power to niche down, do a big scale do-over or reposition whenever you think you need to. Successful leaders and entrepreneurs exercise the right to change their minds. My guest today is the perfect example of a successful entrepreneur ending one business to start another that felt more aligned with her ambitions and goals. If your business doesn’t fulfill you or make you happy, eventually it will plateau. But, being aware of your positioning and knowing when it’s time to pivot can prevent that. Keep Reading >> This is easier said than done because as women, we’ve been conditioned to fit in and never leave anyone behind, including customers. How do you uplevel your business and move on from your loyal following? In today’s episode, I’m joined by sales coach and “unapologetic wealth creator,” Jess Lorimer. Jess is the founder of Smart Leader Sell and focuses on corporate sales, but this isn’t what her business always looked like. She’s sharing how her decision to take bold action came about and how she implemented it. We’ll discuss the bumps she faced along the way as well as the reasons women entrepreneurs struggle with taking massive action.

If you want your sales team to simplify their process so they can connect better with their customers, then you have to listen to this conversation! In today's episode, Tim Reed sits down with acclaimed author and keynote speaker (Bridget Brennan, CEO of The Female Factor and author of "Winning Her Business") to talk about connecting with today's female consumer and building a sales process based on simplicity, clarity, and understanding. In this conversation, you'll learn: The four motivators that a woman needs from your company in order to buy (you don't want to miss any of these) Why there's no such thing as a "tire-kicker" in today's market (customers are way more serious than you think) Why making is easy to buy from you is the foundation to winning her business (this is more important than ever) Don't write this conversation off if your company mostly sells to men, because even if it for them, women have the veto vote on any major purchase. If you put these ideas into practice, your business can create an amazing customer experience and a tidal wive of referrals that you can ride for years to come.   To support the podcast financially, check out our patreon site: https://www.patreon.com/itsfiretime

Today we're talking about money and reaching that elusive goal of a six-figure salary. I really believe that all of you have the potential to be making $100k per year (or more.) Here are five tips on how you can get to a six-figure income. 1. Conviction You need to believe that you are selling the absolute best product someone can buy. People can tell when you're not convicted about what you're selling and that will end with you not making the sale. Really believe that you are doing right by your customer and that they are getting a premium product. 2. Educate yourself You are a business owner, you are in charge of marketing and sales. You need to be continually educating yourself on how you can do a better job, how you can make more sales, and how you can share value with your clients. 3. Persistence Keep going even if you get a lot of “No's”. Every time you get a no is an opportunity to refine and practice your sales skills, and you're getting closer to the “Yes”. 4. Selling is a good thing The exchange of goods or services for money is an amazing thing. It's energizing for both parties and results in a win-win situation. Make selling your friend and get comfortable with it — it can actually be a lot of fun! 5. Be a human Don't be a robot when selling. Listen, care, and show empathy for your client and the sales will follow! Your potential clients are humans just like you and they want to be treated as such. “Sales and marketing are the lifeblood of our businesses. These are the things that make our businesses thrive. This is what makes them grow and what makes them survive!” Main Takeaways Sales and marketing are the core of your business — don't fight it, instead learn everything you can about it. Provide a high-quality product to your customers and really believe that you are delivering something of value. Value your customers by listening to them and treating them as you want to be treated.
