Ray Eitel-Porter, former Global Lead for Responsible AI at Accenture and co-author of the new book, Governing the Machine, discusses how enterprises can move from abstract AI principles to practical governance. He emphasizes that organizations can only realize AI's benefits if responsibility is embedded into everyday business processes rather than treated as a standalone compliance exercise. Drawing on his experience leading global data and AI programs, Eitel-Porter explains how the release of ChatGPT transformed enterprise attitudes toward AI, accelerating adoption while exposing risks such as hallucinations, reliability failures, and reputational harm. Effective governance has evolved from static principles to operational controls, including workflow checkpoints, red teaming, and technical guardrails, particularly for generative AI systems with inherently probabilistic outputs. On risk, he stresses that not all AI use cases require the same level of scrutiny; governance should scale with potential impact and harm, focusing on what an AI system is intended to do so that non-technical teams can surface high-risk use cases without incentives to downplay risk. On regulation, Eitel-Porter notes that despite uncertainty around the EU AI Act, many multinational companies are treating it as a global baseline, similar to GDPR, while contrasting this with more deregulatory signals from the United States and questioning the global influence of the UK's middle-ground approach. He also shares insights from Governing the Machine, co-authored with Miriam Bogle and Paul Donkhan, emphasizing that AI governance is not a barrier to innovation but the foundation that allows organizations to deploy AI at scale with confidence and control. Ray Eitel-Porter is a Senior Advisor at Accenture and the former Global Lead for Responsible AI, where he designed and scaled AI governance programs for multinational organizations. He previously led Accenture's data and AI practice in the UK and has over a decade of experience advising companies on responsible AI, data governance, and emerging technology risk. Eitel-Porter is the co-author of Governing the Machine: How to Navigate the Risks of AI and Unlock Its True Potential (Bloomsbury, 2025) and has led multi-year programs across public and private sectors, including global banks, retailers, and health brands.

In this episode of The Brainstorm, Brett, Nick, and Sam are joined by Alap Shah, CIO of Lotus Technology Management, and co-author of the viral Citrini Report. Alap reveals a provocative scenario: an acceleration in AI capabilities might wipe out a significant portion of white-collar jobs faster than expected, risking both economic disruption and widening inequality. He also teases his follow up report, being released in the coming weeks.If you know ARK, then you probably know about our long-term research projections, like estimating where we will be 5-10 years from now! But just because we are long-term investors, doesn't mean we don't have strong views and opinions on breaking news. In fact, we discuss and debate this every day. So now we're sharing some of these internal discussions with you in our new video series, “The Brainstorm”, a co-production from ARK and Wolf.financial, and sponsored by Public. Tune in every week as we react to the latest in innovation. Here and there we'll be joined by special guests, but ultimately this is our chance to join the conversation and share ARK's quick takes on what's going on in tech today.Key Points From This Episode:The scarcity of human intelligence, once the economic foundation, is at risk as AI turns this scarcity into abundance, potentially disrupting value and production.AI-driven productivity gains could exacerbate inequality unless systemic changes are made to ensure equitable distribution of benefits.The timing mismatch between technological productivity and job displacement could lead to economic instability, requiring proactive policies to smooth the transition.To learn more about WOLF: https://wolf.financialTo learn more about Public: https://public.com/

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks Jim Providenza, co-author (with the late Mike McLaughlin) of "Life Along The Tracks: Candid Stories From A Career Railroader." The book was published in March 2026 by the Basalt Books imprint of WSU Press in Pullman, Washington. "Life Along The Tracks: Candid Stories From A Career Railroader" is a collection of first-person anecdotes originally written by Mike McLaughlin about his decades working on railroads in the Northwest, the Mountain West and in other parts of the United States. McLaughlin was born in Seattle in the 1930s and passed away in 2012. His friend Jim Providenza made it a labor of love to edit Mike's work, gather photos and commission maps from their mutual friend Dave Clemens. The result is a highly readable, well-illustrated book unlike just about any other recent title devoted to railroad history.

Matthew Bowman and Wayne LeCheminant are the co-authors of the new book, Game Changers: AJ Dybantsa, BYU, and the Struggle for the Soul of Basketball.In one of the most unlikely coups in college basketball history, a religious school in Utah signed basketball phenomenon AJ Dybantsa. He will play for Brigham Young University - hardly the sort of basketball powerhouse that typically attracts exceptional and non-Mormon players like him.Game Changers explores how BYU managed this stunning feat. A year before signing Dybantsa, the university lured coaching star Kevin Young from the NBA to run its basketball program. In the decade before, court rulings and institutional reform put money at the forefront of college sports in ways the American public had never seen. And for generations before that, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built a theological structure and institutional commitment to basketball that put the sport front and center at BYU.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hoopheadspod for the latest updates on episodes, guests, and events from the Hoop Heads Pod.Make sure you're subscribed to the Hoop Heads Pod on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts and while you're there please leave us a 5 star rating and review.

Your character and skills often outweigh your credentials in today's ever-evolving world.   True growth stems from the challenges of difficult conversations, and effective leaders can use these moments of discomfort to tap into the potential that already exists within their systems, processes, and teams.    Honest self-reflection is essential for setting goals, adapting to changes, and navigating uncertainty. A crucial takeaway from this discussion is that the concept of "enough" is a personal measure rather than a comparative one.   In this program, Jess Dewell engages with Marnie Stockman and Nick Coniglio, Co-Founders and Co-Authors of "The Business of You," as they explore the tough questions that drive growth. They emphasize strengthening your connection to core values and using your character skills to address uncertainty head-on.    You'll discover how to take greater ownership in times of challenge, how to lead yourself effectively, and what it truly means to be BOLD as you navigate friction to propel your success forward.   —-----------------   If you want to identify business bottlenecks, the necessary skills, the initial actions to take, the expected milestones, and the priorities for achieving growth, try the "Growth Framework Reset" approach. This will help you keep learning and growing while working strategically on your business. -------------------- You can get in touch with Jess Dewell on Twitter,  LinkedIn or Red Direction website.

Today we're joined by Sophia Kristjansson, Founder and CEO of Lexicon Lens, a boutique consulting firm that helps leaders close the persistent gap between strategy and execution—so plans don't just look good on paper, they actually turn into results.Sophia's WebsiteLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophiakristjansson/With more than 25 years of experience guiding organizations through growth, change, and transformation, Sophia works closely with leadership teams to restore clarity, align people and process, and build traction when momentum starts to stall. She also teaches graduate courses in business strategy and organizational transformation at the University of DenverShe's a contributing author to Lives Lost and Leadership Found, edited by Ian Ziskin—who joined us a few episodes back.Why Strategy Fails at the Finish LineSophia, many organizations have smart strategies—but struggle with execution. From your experience, where do things most often break down between intention and action?Closing the Strategy–Execution GapAt Lexicon Lens, your work centers on alignment, collaboration, and leadership development. What are the first signs you look for that tell you a team is losing traction—and how do you help them regain momentum? Sophia shares these six signs:Misaligned success signals – Leaders focus on the wrong metrics, missing what truly indicates performance or risk.Organizational silos – Limited cross-functional visibility creates blind spots that hide emerging problems.Communication mistaken for clarity – Sending emails or memos is assumed to solve issues, without ensuring understanding or follow-through.Execution problems misdiagnosed – Symptoms are addressed instead of root causes, leading to recurring issues.Outdated mental models – Leaders rely on old assumptions and ways of thinking without realizing they no longer fit current realities.Human risk ignored – The people impact (capacity, morale, alignment, burnout) is not surfaced or discussed openly.These six signals indicate leaders may not be seeing the real problem. Bringing leaders together to surface these blind spots enables shared understanding, innovation, and collaboration—often prompting the realization that the issue isn't execution alone, but perception and alignment.Turning Ideas into Action in Complex EnvironmentsLeaders today are navigating constant change, competing priorities, and growing complexity. What practical frameworks or habits help leaders move from analysis paralysis to decisive action?Lessons from “Lives Lost and Leadership Found”You contributed to Lives Lost and Leadership Found, a book that explores how personal loss and reflection can deepen leadership capacity. How did that experience shape—or reinforce—your perspective on leadership, resilience, and execution?Teaching the Next Generation of LeadersYou teach graduate students in business strategy and organizational transformation. What do you see emerging leaders getting right—and where do they most need to develop skills to lead effectively in today's organizations?For leaders listening right now who feel stuck between a clear vision and uneven execution—what's one small, meaningful step they can take this week to move forward?

Homily from the First Sunday of Lent. Every story has a beginning. As we begin Lent, we are faced with the question: If I live the next 25 years of my life the way I've lived the past seven days, where will I end up? Who will I become? We are writing our life story with every choice that we make. Are we writing in rebellion? Or with God as the Co-Author?

What if the problem isn't that moms are failing—but that we've built systems that quietly ask them to do the impossible and then blame them when they struggle?My guest today, Rebecca Geshuri, sits at the intersection of motherhood, mental health, and compassion in a way that feels deeply needed right now. We talk about why so many moms feel like they're failing even when they're doing everything they possibly can. We unpack the crushing mental load, the lack of structural support, and how quickly shame spirals take hold when moms feel they're “not good enough.”This is a conversation about empathy, support, and the quiet strength of caregiving—and why taking better care of moms in the workplace and beyond ultimately makes all of us stronger.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…Why having healthy and supported mothers is key in our organizations and society.Lessons businesses and organizations can learn from mothers.How to stop assuming and do more noticing and learning about the mothers in your organization.

They have parts of themselves that are planning things and organizing things, and seeing things that don't exist yet.

Without a shift in leadership behaviours and systems thinking, early gains inevitably plateau.Key themes include connecting people to a meaningful purpose, defining principles that drive ideal behaviours, and building systems that consistently reinforce those behaviours.

We sat down with Lisa Broderick, CEO of Marshall Goldsmith Advisors and co-author of a new book Permanence: Become the Person You Want to Be and Stay That Way, to unpack a 2-minute practice that helps high-achievers, leaders and teams start compounding wins into lasting change. We walk through the Daily Questions Method and the crucial shift from outcome obsession to effort tracking. Lisa explains why willpower collapses under stress, how comparison culture hijacks identity, and how a tight feedback loop builds lasting habits using your brain's reward system. Beyond the core ritual, we dive into other practical tools you can use immediately to grow and improve permanently.Feedforward replaces backward-looking critiques with future-focused guidance you'll actually act on. The hero exercise turns admired qualities into your personal North Star.

Clare McDonnell speaks to Amy Wallace, the co-author of Virginia Giuffre's memoir, Nobody's Girl. Amy spent two years closely working with Virginia - one of the most prominent and vocal accusers of child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and an advocate of justice for survivors of sex trafficking. We hear Amy's reactions to the latest Epstein revelations.More than 1.7 million children in England have special needs and today, the government has announced that all secondary schools and colleges will be expected to have a dedicated Special Educational Needs and Disability - or SEND - base. Called an 'inclusion base' it would be a dedicated safe space away from busy classrooms where pupils can access targeted support that bridges the gap between mainstream and specialist provision. We speak to BBC education reporter Kate McGough and Margaret Mulholland, SEND and Inclusion specialist for the Association of School and College Leaders. Deborah Douglas has written a memoir about her experience as a victim turned campaigner in one of the biggest scandals in British medical history. Her story sits at the centre of the case of disgraced breast surgeon Ian Paterson, jailed in 2017 for performing harmful and unnecessary operations on women who believed they were being treated for cancer. An inquiry in 2020 found both NHS and private hospitals missed repeated chances to stop him. Deborah joins Clare to discuss The Cost of Trust. The classical concert pianist Alexandra Dariescu performs in studio, and tells us why she is so dedicated to promoting the works of female composers.Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Helen Fitzhenry

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Turning Trauma into Power with Lurata Lyon, Co-Author of a new book titled The Strength of Resilience In this episode of Breaking the Silence, Dr. Gregory Williams interviews Lurata Lyon, author of Unbroken: Surviving Human Trafficking. The conversation explores Lurata's harrowing survival of kidnapping and organ harvesting gangs, her journey of self-healing through writing and fitness, and the profound realization that resilience is not just about bouncing back, but about choosing love over bitterness. Detailed Summary The Philosophy of Brokenness and Resilience Dr. Williams opens with a medical analogy regarding broken bones, noting that during the healing process, a callous forms that temporarily makes the broken site stronger than it was before. This sets the stage for a discussion on trauma. Lurata reflects that despite the horrors she endured, she would not change her past because it forged her current identity. She emphasizes that healing requires a conscious choice to reject the path of self-destruction and instead embrace love, stating she has become "walking love" to ensure the cycle of hate stops with her. Writing as a Mechanism for Healing Lurata shares the origin story of her book, Unbroken. Inspired by the character Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, she began typing her traumatic memories on a laptop simply to mimic the character's routine of "closing the day." This exercise unexpectedly acted as therapy; by externalizing her memories onto a screen, she gained a new perspective—viewing her life as a reader rather than a victim. This process significantly reduced her nightmares and eventually formed the skeleton of her published memoir. Reality of Human Trafficking Lurata details her specific traumatic experiences, including being kidnapped by an organ harvesting gang in Kosovo and later held in solitary confinement for six months by soldiers in Serbia. She describes human trafficking as a "pandemic" and the biggest business in the world, surpassing the drug trade. The conversation touches on modern recruitment tactics, such as bribing parents in war zones (like Ukraine) or luring people with false promises of work, only to strip them of their passports and force them into begging, prostitution, or organ harvesting. Regaining Trust and Taming the "Monster" Recovery for Lurata involved relearning how to trust, starting with her uncle and eventually moving into the fitness industry. She became a successful personal trainer in London by focusing on making clients "feel good" rather than just losing weight. A significant part of her mental recovery was "taming the monster"—the internal rage and defensive aggression she developed to survive. Through mentorship and self-forgiveness, she learned to control her reactions to daily stressors, using breathwork to prevent small problems from triggering survival-mode panic. Future Endeavors Lurata is currently co-authoring a new book titled The Strength of Resilience with an athlete named Fatima, expected to launch in mid-2024. She is also expanding her work into the digital space with online courses on public speaking and mental fitness, and has established a mental health retreat in Marbella, Spain, focusing on hiking, breathwork, and healing. Trauma does not have to define one's future. As Lurata Lyon demonstrates, even the darkest experiences—such as human trafficking and captivity—can be transformed into a source of immense power and purpose. By choosing forgiveness, controlling one's internal narrative, and breaking the silence, victims can transition from surviving to thriving.

In this enlightening conversation, Precious and Michael McAdams delve into the realms of spirituality, guidance, and the nature of communication with the spiritual realm. They explore the role of spirit teachers, the importance of meditation and prayer, and the need for protection in spiritual practices. The discussion also touches on the concepts of the afterlife, reincarnation, and the significance of personal experiences in spiritual growth. Michael shares insights from his book, 'An Angel Told Me So,' and emphasizes the importance of gratitude and the unique connection each individual has with the divine.Michael and his works can be found on spiritspeaks.com and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=10...Key Takeaways:Everyone has it within themselves to receive spiritual guidance.Emptiness is part of fulfillment in spiritual growth.We are not the sole property of ourselves; we belong to a greater spiritual community.There is no true death; we simply transition to another realm.Controlling your thought system is essential for spiritual clarity.Gratitude is a powerful tool in spiritual practice.Each individual is cared for and nourished by the divine.We should not judge the workings of God or each other.The uniqueness of spiritual material lies in how it touches the soul.Sharing spiritual insights can help others find their path.Timestamps: 00:00: Introduction to Spiritual Communication02:59: The Nature of Spiritual Guidance05:56: Bridging Faith and Spirituality08:50: The Role of Protection in Spiritual Practices11:51: Understanding Thought and Free Will14:51: The Continuity of Existence17:54: The Journey of the Soul26:44: Movies That Open Your Mind28:16: Exploring Spiritual Literature29:25: The Life and Teachings of Jesus31:22: Defeating the Lucifer Rebellion33:33: Breaking Free from Religious Confinement35:06: The Power of Universal Messages38:21: Channeling and Spiritual Communication40:43: The Uniqueness of Spiritual Material44:56: Faith vs. Knowledge47:52: The Concept of Heaven and Hell

In 2022, the leaders of the Kinahan Cartel were hit with a collective fifteen million bounty on their heads by U.S. authorities. In the years that followed, the gang has remained active, but much less so on these shores. So, as we approach the tenth anniversary of the Regency Hotel shooting next week, how has the gang been operating in the years since the U.S. sanctions and bounties? Stephen Breen, Crime Editor of the Irish Sun and Co-Author of Kinahan Assassins and John Hand, News and Crime Correspondent with the Irish Sun and Co-Author of Kinahan Assassins are filling in the gap with their latest podcast, Kinahan's Downfall, which releases today joined Pat Kenny on the show to discuss.

Read OnlineJesus came to Capernaum with his followers, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. Mark 1:21–22Imagine attending a book study for a profound and challenging book. The group leader has read it thoroughly and consulted reviews; he shares various interpretations, offering valuable insights. You leave with a deeper understanding and gratitude for the leader's guidance. Now imagine years later you attend another study on the same book, but this time the author leads it. The author alone can speak with absolute authority—explaining the backstory, the intent behind the words, and the true meaning of the text. Nothing compares to hearing from the one who wrote the book.Jesus, as the eternal Son of God, is not just a teacher of Truth, but is its Co-Author, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit. From the beginning of time, God's Truth—His Eternal Word—has been gradually revealed through creation, the covenants, the Law, and the prophets. Yet only the Word Made Flesh could reveal Himself fully.When Jesus entered the synagogue in Capernaum, His teaching astonished the people. The scribes, though learned and revered, taught by relying on the traditions of their ancestors and the interpretations of others. Jesus, however, spoke with divine authority. His words were not secondhand interpretations but the living, authoritative proclamation of Truth. Those who were open to faith recognized something far greater than human wisdom; they encountered the very voice of God.The people's astonishment reveals the transformative nature of the Word of God. Jesus did not merely interpret the Scriptures for the people; He fulfilled them and identified Himself with them. As the Author of all Truth, His words—and His very Person—carried the power to liberate and transform. This power was immediately demonstrated when He cast out the unclean spirit in the verses that follow, revealing that His word does not simply teach—it acts, healing and restoring those in bondage.The question of Truth remains as relevant today as it was when Jesus walked the earth. In a world flooded with opinions, interpretations, and ideologies, only one thing ultimately matters: that which God speaks. We desperately need Christ's authoritative voice in our lives today. We need Him to cut through the confusion caused by our fallen and disordered human nature and the countless erroneous ideologies that permeate our world. Reflect today on whether you recognize the Voice of God. Are you familiar with His definitive and authoritative Word that sheds light on your life and the world around you? Do you allow yourself to be regularly astounded by God's revelation? As we begin Ordinary Time, we enter a season during which we must hear and internalize Jesus' many authoritative teachings during His public ministry. When properly encountered, His Word is alive and transformative. Place yourself in the synagogue in Capernaum as Jesus begins to reveal the Truth established from the foundation of the world. Allow that Truth to affect you, change you, and set you on the path that leads to eternal glory. Eternal Word of God, You are the Author and Revealer of all Truth. Speak to me with Your divine authority, and illuminate the many errors that afflict my heart and the world around me. With the power of Your Word, cut through the darkness, dispel confusion, and shine Your radiant light of Truth upon my path. Guide me to walk in Your ways, free from all deception, and lead me to the fullness of life. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Christ Reading Isaiah in Synagogue by Ted, license CC BY-NC 2.0Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Synopsis:  As global military spending skyrockets and social programs face drastic cuts, a 50-year-old alternative emerges as a beacon of hope: the Lucas Plan, born from workers' determination to repurpose their skills for societal good.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description [Original release date July 2025]: With the passage of the Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill” and NATO allies pledging to more than double their spending on defense as a portion of all economic output, military spending around the world is soaring, while spending on meeting social needs and the climate crisis is on the chopping block. Governments often justify spending public money this way by saying it will create good jobs, but what if the workers themselves had a say? Fifty years ago, employees at Lucas Aerospace, a huge military contractor in the United Kingdom came up with an alternative plan. Their approach, known as the Lucas Plan, used the workers' same expertise, but directed production away from bombs, towards goods that actually help society. In this special episode, Laura heads to the UK to interview some of the original workers involved in the Lucas Plan and investigates what one senior government minister at the time called "one of the most remarkable exercises in all of British industrial history.” As she says, it's as relevant now as the day it was conceived.“What we're talking about is a poor economic choice that's being made to posture . . . and look like a big military power in a world that's growing increasingly unstable.” - Khem Rogaly“One of the things that the Lucas Plan has done is actually made it fairly clear to people that there are choices. You're given the impression that you have to make weapons. No, you don't. You're given the choice . . . The issue here is who controls technology and who should control technology, and should it be used to free people or should it be used to enslave people?” - Philip AsquithGuests:• Brian Salisbury: Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward• Philip Asquith: Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward• Hilary Wainwright: Co-Author, The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making?; Co-Editor Red Pepper magazine• Khem Rogaly: Senior Research Fellow, Commonwealth; Author, A Lucas Plan for the Twenty First Century: From Asset Manager Arsenal to Green Industrial Strategy ADDITIONAL CREW: Stanley Arlidge - Episode Producer, Clementine Malpas, Tiger Nest FilmsSPECIAL THANKS: Karen Bell, Joe Guinan, Steve Schofield MUSIC CREDITS:  Thrum of Soil by Blue Dot Sessions and original sound design by Jeannie Hopper  RESOURCES:- Watch the episode released on YouTube July 11th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 13th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode) and airing on community radio (check here to see if your station airs the show) & available as a podcast July 16th.-Related Podcast:  Uncut Conversation featuring Brian Salsibury, Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward-Related Podcast:  Uncut Conversation featuring Hilary Wainwright, Co-Author, The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making?; Co-Editor Red Pepper magazineFull Episode Notes are located HERE.  Recommended book:• “The Lucas Plan: A New Trade Unionism in the Making?” by Hilary Wainwright and Dave Elliott, Learn More Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes:Democracy & Capitalism: A Failed Experiment?:  Watch / Listen:  Uncut Conversation - EpisodeCommunity Wealth Building: An Economic Reset:  Watch / Listen:  Uncut Conversation - EpisodeDollars and Democracy: Participatory Budgeting:  Watch / Listen:  Episode•  From Cleveland, OH to Preston, UK.  Community Wealth Building, Watch / Listen: Episode Related Articles and Resources:• A Lucas Plan For the Twenty First Century From Asset Manager Arsenal to Green Industrial Strategy, by Khern Rogsly, October 2024 - Common Welath•  The Lucas Plan the Way to an Alternative Security Strategy, by Khem Royally, December 11, 2024, Rethinking Security• UK to cut green levies on businesses in bid to reduce energy costs and boost manufacturing, by Jessica Elgot and Rob Davies, June 22, 2025, The Guardian•.

Send us a textOn this "take two" episode (after a technical mishap lost the first recording), Scott and Mike welcome back Jeff Cutter, founder of WIITT Selling (What Is Important To Them). Jeff breaks down the fundamental flaw in most sales processes: the obsession with our decks, our products, and our preparation, while completely ignoring the customer's narrative.Jeff shares how this mindset shift started early—selling his neighbors not on a mowed lawn, but on the freedom to ride their bikes on the weekend. The trio discusses why sales reps often get stuck at the "context level" (activities, features, specs) and fail to reach the "emotional level" where decisions are actually made.Key Takeaways:Define WIITT: It stands for What Is Important To Them. If you don't know the specific problem and the emotion attached to it, you are just guessing.The "Context" Trap: Most CRMs are filled with "activities" (sent email, had meeting), but lack intelligence on the actual problem. You need to move from "What are you doing?" to "How does this problem make you feel?"Co-Author the Story: Don't hijack the conversation with your own pitch. Use mirroring and emotional labeling to stay in the customer's story until you uncover the root cause.The Jeep Theory: Citing Clotaire Rapaille, Jeff explains that customers often lie (unintentionally) about what they want (e.g., safety), when they truly buy based on a deeper emotional code (e.g., freedom/open road).Guest Resources: Check out Jeff's free guide, "Stop Guessing, Take Control of Your CRM Intelligence" at wiittselling.com.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach
