No doubt you were hired to sell insurance. But did your agency leadership make you FIRST prove that you can prospect to set appointments? I would suspect probably not. And, that's why so many insurance producers fail and don't make it -- or at least why they don't make enough money. They are good at relationship building and closing business, but they just can't set enough appointments. In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht will talk about what you need to start saying in order to set more new business appointments with your prospects. After all, prospecting is a numbers-game but selling insurance is a relationship-game. Key Topics: The dual careers in insurance: prospecting versus selling insurance. Why poor prospecting skills often lead to failure and how to fix them. The importance of a defined process for setting appointments. Overcoming objections like gatekeepers and timing issues. Crafting simple, relatable messaging to connect with prospects. Balancing numbers in prospecting with relationships in selling insurance. Refining prospecting skills or outsourcing to avoid stagnation. Reach out to Charles Specht Visit: Permission Network Produced by PodSquad.fm

In this episode, Lisa and Stephen discuss:How to turn a passion for sports into a career off the fieldBuilding connections that open doors and gain experiences through sports internshipsWhat roles are in high demand in the sports and entertainment ecosystemBalancing passion, education, and hustleKey Takeaways: Careers in sports extend far past the playing field, including roles in marketing, analytics, media, and sponsorships. Exploring these options early helps uncover where passion and talent meet.Networking remains the most powerful tool in the sports industry. Relationships, mentorships, and proactive outreach often lead to opportunities more effectively than cold applications.Real-world exposure sharpens direction and builds credibility. Internships in high school or college, whether loved or disliked, shape clearer career decisions later on.A well-rounded education supports success, but determination and experience matter most. Aligning values with career goals ensures long-term fulfillment in this dynamic field.There are more entry points at agencies working on brand partnerships, sponsorships, and influencer deals than at leagues and teams. “The three most important words in sports: Relationships. Relationships. Relationships.” – Stephen MasterAbout Stephen Master: Professor Stephen Master has over 25 years of leadership experience in sports marketing and media.

In this episode, I talk with Henry Morris about how traditional oil and gas expertise is being repurposed to help the UK and Europe cut millions of tonnes of CO₂ each year.Henry shares how his geoscience background led him from offshore exploration into developing new CO₂ storage projects using existing wells and depleted gas fields. We discuss why core engineering and subsurface skills remain essential, what smaller companies look for in graduates, and how to prepare for the market cycles that shape energy careers. In this episode: How CCS works and why it's neededTransferable skills from oil & gas to low-carbon rolesWhy clarity in communication matters as much as technical knowledgeNavigating career uncertainty and energy market cyclesPractical advice for graduates entering the sectorIf you're exploring opportunities in the energy transition or curious about where a geoscience or engineering degree can take you, this conversation will help you see the full landscape of what's possible.

Mark and Laura Willes spoke at the Fall President's Forum at BYU-Idaho. They touched on how they've stayed centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ while maintaining distinguished careers.
Many Korean women face both institutional barriers and everyday cultural expectations. Life often feels mapped out in advance, and those who deviate from that path meet resistance or worse. Meanwhile, the media tends to celebrate only the rich and famous, making it harder to see the everyday heroes and role models who truly reflect women's lives in Korea. In this episode, I'm joined by Minyoung Kim, Victoria Yi, Sarah Soeun Lee, and Sangeun Kim — a team of writers behind a recently published bilingual book that shares real stories of women's experiences in Korea: their challenges, frustrations, families, dreams, and triumphs. Together, we talk about what it means to live honestly in a society that often prefers silence. Apologies for the sound issues in this one. It was a new set-up and mistakes were made. Hopefully you can still find value in the courage and ideas of the four women. Book Links

GM Andy Soltis is a U.S. Chess Hall of Famer, prolific author, and longtime Chess Life columnist who has left a lasting mark on American chess while balancing a decades-long career as an editor at the New York Post. His recent memoir, Deadline Grandmaster, retraces those parallel paths and shares remarkable stories such as playing a 16-year-old Vishy Anand, meeting Mikhail Tal, corresponding with Irving Chernev, and unknowingly crossing paths with Bobby Fischer. In our conversation, Andy revisits several of these moments and reflects on the challenges of chess improvement. We explore why players plateau, how to identify their own chess styles, and what today's players can learn from history's greats. Toward the end, Andy mulls his next project and discusses how chess publishing has evolved through the decades. It's always a privilege to hear Andy's stories, and I highly recommend Deadline Grandmaster for many more of them. This episode was recorded on October 16, 2025 and thus does not discuss the tragic news of GM Daniel Naroditsky's passing. 0:00- Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!
