Why do morally good people often hesitate to change other people's minds, viewing persuasion as presumptuous, obnoxious, or downright creepy? The University of Washington's professor of philosophy, Dr. Colin Marshall, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss how to successfully bridge deep divides in our highly polarized climate.Dr. Marshall explores the ethics and psychology of civil persuasion in his book, Just Hear Me Out: How to Change Minds Without Lies, Bullshit, or Moral Compromise. They examine how genuine persuasion isn't about manipulation or aggressive takedowns , but rather requires a delicate balance of respect, compassion, and the right environment.In this conversation they explore: Why the fallout of the 2016 US presidential election pushed Dr. Marshall from pure theoretical philosophy into finding practical tools for civil engagement. The crucial difference between manipulative persuasion—where people are treated as obstacles to maneuver—and civil persuasion that honors a person's complete humanity. How combining Immanuel Kant's emphasis on rational respect with Arthur Schopenhauer's focus on deep compassion creates a coherent framework for changing minds. Why attempting to persuade someone at the Thanksgiving table almost always fails, and the importance of establishing an "attention-friendly context" like grabbing a coffee or a beer. Incredible real-world examples of successful persuasion, including Daryl Davis persuading extremists to leave the KKK and Megan Phelps-Roper leaving the Westboro Baptist Church after patient, charitable interactions on Twitter. The concept of "moral myopia"—the deeply human tendency to become so hyper-focused on one moral issue or our own self-respect that we lose sight of the other person's bandwidth and feelings. The psychology of building trust, and why establishing warmth and shared humanity must always come before proving your intellectual competence. This is a conversation for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, and healthy communication who wants to understand how to sincerely navigate our modern disagreements without sacrificing their own moral integrity.Make sure to check out Dr. Marshall's book: Just Hear Me Out: How to Change Minds without Lies, Bullshit, or Moral Compromise

Trust-building is essential, as the online space enters into what Jill calls the current "trust recession." Trust typically takes at least 18-24 months of consistent effort to develop, but there are ways to accelerate the process. Today, Jill shares those 6 strategies for speeding up the trust process. They include increasing touch points with your audience; using storytelling to build genuine connection; "going against your pitch" by being brutally honest even when it costs you a sale; exposing an "us versus them" dynamic by calling out problematic industry practices; creating "model of the world" content that positions you as an authority; and adopting an "abundance sell" mindset that signals you don't desperately need the sale.    Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

I used to feel like I had absolutely NO CONTROL around ice cream, chocolate, bread, pasta, dried mangoes, almond butter, protein bars. The moment I was around them, I would binge on them. So I would avoid them.  I'd keep them out of the house and think "out of sight out of mind". But that just left me thinking about them SO MUCH MORE. So I felt so torn on how to eat these foods with control.In this episode, I break down the first few steps I took to build trust around trigger foods without losing control or avoiding them all together.MSG ME "TRIGGER FOODS" for details on my new program: Trust With Trigger Foods. This is a four-week program where I'm going to teach you how to choose one trigger food and start building trust with yourself around it.So instead of buying chocolate, bread, cookies, chips or ice cream and immediately spiralling into, “I need to eat this all now because tomorrow I'm starting over,” you'll learn how to slow down, feel safe, actually enjoy it, and move on with your day.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

What does it actually take to build an executive team from nothing? This week on The Data Minute, Ashley Neville fills in for Peter and sits down with Francois Ajenstat, Founder and CEO of Golden Analytics, to talk hiring at the earliest stages of a company, from seed through Series B.Francois spent over a decade as Chief Product Officer at Tableau before leading product at Amplitude, and recently launched Golden Analytics, an AI-native BI platform that just closed $21 million in total seed funding. He walks through why he sees fundraising as less about the check and more about finding long-term partners, why he never set out to build a foundational model, and why he thinks the fear around AI replacing data analysts has it backwards. He also breaks down his approach to those first few hires: starting with people he trusts completely, using Carta's own compensation data to build trust with candidates during offer negotiations, and the three-part test he runs on every new hire around AI fluency, taste, and ownership of outcomes.The conversation also covers Golden's unconventional customer feedback loop, the surprising order in which startups actually hire across functions, and Francois's long-running framework for job satisfaction: the work, the people, and the recognition.Subscribe to Carta's weekly Data Minute newsletter: https://carta.com/subscribe/data-newsletter-sign-up/Explore interactive startup and VC data, with Carta's Data Desk: https://carta.com/data-desk/Chapters: 01:17 – Announcing the $21M Seed: Fundraising Is About Partners, Not Just Capital 02:57 – Pitching Golden Analytics: Zig When Everyone Else Zags 06:06 – Why Golden Isn't Building Its Own Foundational Model 07:48 – The Privacy Question: Why Golden Never Sends Customer Data to the Models 09:17 – Will AI Replace the Data Analyst?

Join Alli on Substack – https://wisewoman/ method.substack.com What does it look like to walk into a room as your full self, not the version who already decided she doesn't belong there? Leadership coach and author Selena Rezvani has spent her career sitting with that exact question, and in this conversation, she brings the kind of stories and truth that land deep. Selena teaches leaders how to build trust and share power, and she does so with credibility that comes only from real life. She has bombed the interview. She has eaten the whole sleeve of Milano cookies. She has gone back anyway and written a completely different ending. That's why her work sticks. It's lived, not theoretical.

Listen in, and let it remind you that you belong in the room, too.

In this episode, I'm breaking down four of the biggest sales page mistakes that could be costing you conversions—without you even realizing it. Your sales page isn't just a place to list what's included in your offer; it's the final step in helping someone feel confident enough to say yes. I share why your messaging matters more than clever design and how small changes can make a huge difference in turning visitors into buyers. We look at how to create a headline that grabs attention within seconds, why leading with features instead of your audience's struggles can lose potential customers, and how to paint a vivid picture of the transformation your offer provides. I also explain why testimonials are one of your most powerful conversion tools and how to use them strategically throughout your page to build trust and overcome objections. 3 Key Takeaways: Capture Attention in the First Three Seconds Your headline needs to immediately speak to your ideal customer's biggest challenge or desired outcome. If visitors don't instantly feel like they're in the right place, they're unlikely to keep reading. Sell the Transformation, Not Just the Features Before explaining what's inside your offer, show people where they are now, where they want to be, and what life could look like after achieving that result. Help them emotionally connect with the transformation. Build Trust with Proof Throughout the Page Don't save testimonials for the bottom of your sales page. Use a variety of success stories and case studies throughout to reinforce your message, answer objections, and give potential buyers confidence to take the next step.

Your prospects are checking you out long before they hit “book now.” What they see in those first few seconds can be the difference between a no-show and someone who walks in already convinced you're the right fit.Episode SummaryIn today's episode, you're pushed to look at your gym the way a stranger would: quick glance at the homepage, a few seconds on social, maybe a review or two, and that's it. The questions on their mind are simple but brutal: who are you, what do you offer, why should anyone care, and why pick you over the other options in a 5–10 mile radius or the app on their phone?You'll see how to make those answers obvious in your client-facing assets and then stack on pre-selling tools like simple guides, PDFs, and pre-appointment touchpoints that actually educate people before they ever sit down with you. The aim is a consult built on momentum of agreement, where your time is spent unpacking goals, desire, and urgency instead of burning minutes just explaining what your gym does.Key TakeawaysYou'll learn:How to evaluate your website “above the fold” so prospects instantly see who you are and what you offerThe four core questions every potential member is silently asking before they ever contact youWhy unclear positioning forces you to waste consult time explaining your gym instead of understanding the clientHow to use a simple SWOT-style review to understand your market position against local and virtual competitorsWhy AI tools are great for speed to lead and education, but can't replace the human element in closing salesPractical ideas for pre-selling assets like nutrition guides, travel workouts, or seasonal PDFs that build trustHow to create momentum of agreement so prospects arrive leaning yes instead of undecidedWays to turn a basic consult into a 12/10 experience with small touches that make people feel welcomed and valuedEpisode Chapters00:00 The questions in your prospect's head00:45 What pre-selling is and how it changes your sales process01:45 Zooming out to 30,000 feet: systems, people, automations, and client touchpoints04:37 Auditing your website and social: who are you and what do you offer?08:35 Why you vs competitors, local and virtual, and basic SWOT thinking12:27 Pre-selling assets, PDF guides, and using AI tools like Gamma14:30 Designing a “red carpet” consultation and 12/10 in-gym experienceResources MentionedGamma – App used to create PDF guides and visual resources (Gamma.app)Ladder app – Example of a virtual coaching competitor for gymsLasso Framework – Marketing and sales system for gyms: https://www.lassoframework.com/About the PodcastWelcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth.

Send us Fan MailStart the school year with a healthy, thriving youth ministry...let's work together to make it happen! Check out GrowYourYouthMinistry.com for more info - or feel free to email us at MinistryCoachPodcast@gmail.com with any questions *** In this episode, we discuss two surprisingly powerful ways to earn real parent buy-in in your youth ministry and break down each one into multiple aspects of trust. We get practical about “early and often” communication: weekly parent emails, leader updates, an always-current website and calendar, social media that actually answers questions, and using a church app or targeted messages so the right families get the right info. We also talk about planning ahead like publishing camp dates far in advance, plus a simple test for your system: if parents are constantly texting basic questions, your other communication channels may not be clear or consistent yet.  If you want more volunteers, smoother events, stronger camp sign-ups, and fewer frustrated emails, this is the leadership muscle to build.Then we shift to professionalism in youth ministry, not as a stiff corporate posture, but as maturity. We share how to create “no surprises” when incidents happen, and why owning mistakes quickly builds credibility.

Tune in to our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure, and Aged Expired niches!  In this week's All The Leads Mastermind, the discussion begins with an inspiring reverse mortgage success story from Brian Griffin, who shares how a simple direct mail campaign helped an elderly couple avoid foreclosure, remain in their home, and continue caring for their disabled son. The story highlights how reverse mortgages, when used responsibly, can provide life-changing solutions for families facing financial hardship. The team also explores proven lead generation and follow-up strategies, including the importance of consistent outreach through mail, phone calls, and nurturing campaigns. Matt and Chris from Appointments Today explain how prompt follow-up, multiple touchpoints, and treating every lead—whether an appointment or a nurture—with urgency can dramatically improve conversion rates. Later in the episode, Roger shares his servant-leader approach to working with distressed homeowners, emphasizing the importance of leading with value, building trust, and connecting families with practical resources such as credit counseling, hardship assistance, and other solutions before ever discussing a sale. Throughout the conversation, the hosts reinforce that empathy, consistency, and a genuine desire to help are the foundation of long-term success in real estate investing.  Key Takeaways: Lead with value, not a sales pitch. Focus on solving problems and providing helpful resources before discussing real estate opportunities.  Consistent follow-up creates more opportunities. Multiple touchpoints and timely outreach greatly improve the chances of connecting with motivated prospects.  Build trust through a servant-leader mindset. Show empathy, understand each family's goals, and position yourself as a trusted advisor.  Use the right resources to help clients. Connect homeowners with credit counselors, hardship assistance, reverse mortgages, or other practical solutions when appropriate.  Treat every opportunity seriously. Whether it's an appointment or a nurture lead, prompt follow-up can turn conversations into future closings.  Leverage partnerships to scale your business. Combining direct outreach with services like ISA calling and local referral partners helps maximize lead conversion. To learn more, visit https://www.AllTheLeads.com or call (844) 532-3369 to check how many leads are available in your market.   #ReverseMortgage #RealEstateInvesting #LeadGeneration #RealEstateProspectingPrevious episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

Lori challenges the assumption that bigger is always better and explores why many midlife business owners reach a point where freedom, flexibility, and purpose matter more than endless growth.

How can maintenance and reliability teams turn training and certification into real improvement across the plant? In this episode of Gear Talk, host Wes Cash sits down with Matt Spurlock, PhD, of Georgia-Pacific, to talk about the connection between lubrication certification, leadership, trust, and organizational commitment. Drawing from 30 years of experience in oil analysis and lubrication, along with doctoral research focused on MLT-certified professionals, Matt shares what his findings reveal about how certified employees view their leaders and what actually helps technical knowledge turn into action. While training and certification remain critical for building frontline knowledge and technical credibility, the conversation points to a bigger issue: leaders have to trust their people, listen to their recommendations, and create the conditions for trained employees to use what they know. From the difference between management and leadership to the role of trust, empowerment, and technical credibility, this episode explores why reliability programs need both skilled people and strong leadership to succeed. You'll learn about: Why certification is valuable for frontline lubrication professionals How technical credibility differs from leadership ability What Matt's research found about certified leaders and employee commitment Why trust plays such a major role in reliability program success The difference between managing processes and leading people Why leaders need to listen to the people closest to the equipment How training can lose impact when employees are not empowered to act Why strong reliability programs require both technical skill and leadership behavior Whether you're leading a maintenance team, managing a lubrication program, or working on the front lines of reliability, this episode offers practical insight into how organizations can make training and certification more effective by pairing them with trust, leadership, and follow-through.

After serving in the U.S. Navy, Chad Eaves built a career helping leaders communicate when the stakes are high. As the founder of Eaves Group, executive coach, and communication strategist, he works with executives, organizations, and veteran professionals to sharpen one of the most overlooked leadership skills: effective communication. Drawing on decades of experience spanning military service, corporate leadership, and academia, Chad focuses on the practical side of influence—how to lead teams, navigate difficult conversations, and build trust without relying on buzzwords or management fads. His work is rooted in the belief that communication isn't a soft skill—it's a competitive advantage. In this episode, Chad joins SOFREP Radio to discuss leadership after service, the communication mistakes that derail careers, and why the ability to clearly influence people is often the difference between merely getting the job done and earning the opportunity to lead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Marketing Espresso, I'm joined by Tahnée Sanders for a very honest conversation about AI, content marketing, originality, transparency and what it really means to show up online in a world flooded with generic content.Tahnée and I start with the thing a lot of business owners and marketers are quietly thinking right now: we are all using AI in some way, but many people are not being completely honest about it. Whether it's helping tidy up a LinkedIn post, pulling key ideas from a podcast transcript, generating show notes, summarising research or shaping a first draft, AI has become part of the way many of us work.But the real question is not simply whether we should use AI.The better question is: why are we using it, how are we using it, and what are we outsourcing in the process?We talk about the rise of what Tahnée calls AI slop - content that might technically be fine, but feels generic, forgettable and disconnected from any real point of view. We unpack why this matters for business owners, especially when so many brands are creating more content than ever, but not necessarily creating content that says anything meaningful.One of the biggest themes in this conversation is the difference between using AI to reduce your thinking effort and using AI to replace your thinking responsibility. That distinction really matters. AI can help organise ideas, simplify a process, pull out themes, tidy structure and support execution, but it cannot decide what your business should be known for. It cannot create your unique point of difference for you. It cannot replace lived experience, original thought, strategic positioning or the human parts of your brand that people actually connect with.We also explore the growing conversation around AI transparency. Tahnee shares recent data showing that many consumers are comfortable with brands using AI if they are transparent about it. But that leads to a much bigger question: what does transparency actually look like when AI can be used in so many different ways? There is a huge difference between using AI to tidy up your own work and asking it to create an entire piece of thought leadership from scratch.This episode also touches on the pressure to constantly create more content, and why that pressure has become even more intense now that AI can help produce content at scale. But more content does not automatically mean more trust, more connection or more authority. In fact, more content without a clear purpose can become a distraction.Tahnée and I also talk about the importance of knowing what you want to be known for before you ask AI to help you create content. If you do not know your point of difference, your values, your audience, your tone or the message you want to own in your market, AI is likely to give you something generic. And generic content is becoming easier and easier to ignore.We also discuss how business owners are rethinking their relationship with social media. Many of us have spent years feeling like we need to be everywhere, posting constantly, showing up on every platform and creating content in every possible format. But the businesses building real connection are often the ones going deeper, not wider. They know where their people are, they know what they want to be known for, and they are creating with more purpose rather than simply feeding the content machine.Tahnée also shares her experience building The Unwind Co, a product-based business focused on creative project boxes for women. Through that business, she has seen firsthand how important it is to pay attention to data, understand what content resonates, and build a community around a genuine point of difference rather than simply throwing content at the wall.This conversation is a timely reminder that AI is not the enemy, but lazy marketing is. The competitive advantage moving forward will not come from creating the most content. It will come from having a strong point of view, knowing what your business stands for, and using AI as a tool rather than a substitute for original thought.Connect with Tahnéehello@tahneesanders.comwww.thestrategystudio.com.auInstagram LinkedInDOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNERInstagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

Whether he's building homes, creating life-changing innovations, or helping bring measurable data and accountability to the wellness industry, his mission has remained remarkably consistent: build trust first, and everything else has a foundation.This conversation has been six years in the making, and I couldn't be more excited to finally introduce you to one of the most thoughtful, humble, and impactful leaders I've ever had the privilege of knowing.If this conversation adds value to your life, would you do me a favor?

Gary Rivlincompares AI to the automobile; early cars lacked seatbelts and killed thousands, yet society did not revert to horse-and-buggy travel. Similarly, 19th-century railroads only gained public confidence once government standards ensured safety and reliability. Currently, most Americans remain fearful of AI, making policy debates essential for building long-term trust in the technology.

He argues society should focus on immediate dangers, such as autonomous AI in warfare, rather than Hollywood-style scenarios. (4/8)1902 LA
