Story Transcript:Sv: Gamla Stan sov fortfarande under en tjock filt av morgonens dimma när Karin, Lars och Elin klev ut på de gamla kullerstensgatorna.En: Gamla Stan was still asleep under a thick blanket of morning fog when Karin, Lars and Elin stepped out onto the old cobblestone streets.Sv: De var alla förväntansfulla, trots de mörka molnen som hängde tungt på himlen.En: They were all excited, despite the dark clouds hanging heavy in the sky.Sv: Lugnet i staden kändes nästan magiskt, och det var precis den atmosfär som Karin hade hoppats på.En: The calm in the city felt almost magical, and it was exactly the atmosphere Karin had hoped for.Sv: "Ett perfekt tillfälle att känna historiens vingslag," tänkte Karin medan hon drog på sin varma jacka.En: "A perfect opportunity to feel the wings of history," thought Karin as she pulled on her warm jacket.Sv: Hon önskade att resan till vintermarknaden skulle föra henne närmare sina rötter här i Stockholm.En: She hoped that the trip to the winter market would bring her closer to her roots here in Stockholm.Sv: Lars gick bredvid henne, blicken fixerad på sin telefon.En: Lars walked beside her, his gaze fixed on his phone.Sv: Han hade en viktig presentation på jobbet nästa dag och var inte helt övertygad om att resan var värt risken för regn.En: He had an important presentation at work the next day and was not entirely convinced that the trip was worth the risk of rain.Sv: "Vi borde kanske fundera på hur vi kommer tillbaka i tid," sa han tveksamt.En: "We should maybe think about how we get back in time," he said hesitantly.Sv: Elin däremot, full av liv och upplivad av idéen att besöka marknaden, svingade sin färgglada paraply över sitt huvud.En: Elin, on the other hand, full of life and excited by the idea of visiting the market, swung her colorful umbrella over her head.Sv: "Kom igen, Lars!En: "Come on, Lars!Sv: Vi kan inte missa detta.En: We can't miss this.Sv: Det kommer bli fantastiskt, oavsett väder!"En: It will be fantastic, no matter the weather!"Sv: De tre vännerna följde gatorna som slingrade sig genom Gamla Stans hjärta, magasinsfönster fyllda med klassiska svenska hantverk och moderna design.En: The three friends followed the streets winding through Gamla Stan's heart, shop windows filled with classic Swedish handicrafts and modern design.Sv: Lamporna i butikerna och caféerna hade en varm glöd, och doften av nybakade bullar och pepparkakor svepte ut på gatan.En: The lights in the shops and cafés had a warm glow, and the scent of freshly baked buns and gingerbread cookies wafted out onto the street.Sv: Snart började regnet trumma lätt på hustaken och gatorna blev mörka och blanka.En: Soon the rain began to patter lightly on the rooftops and the streets became dark and glossy.Sv: Karin, som inte ville ge upp, föreslog att de skulle fortsätta till marknaden ändå.En: Karin, who did not want to give up, suggested that they continue to the market anyway.Sv: "Vi kan ta skydd vid första bästa café om det blir värre," sa hon med ett leende.En: "We can take shelter at the first available café if it gets worse," she said with a smile.Sv: Lars suckade, men han följde efter dem.En: Lars sighed, but he followed them.Sv: Elins optimistiska energi smittade, och med kaffe och paraplyer i beredskap, var de redo för regnet.En: Elin's optimistic energy was contagious, and with coffee and umbrellas ready, they were prepared for the rain.Sv: Men regnet överraskade dem ändå med sin intensitet.En: But the rain surprised them with its intensity.Sv: Det blev som ett vattenfall som fick dem att småspringa mot ett charmigt litet café vid hörnet av gatan.En: It became like a waterfall that made them jog to a charming little café at the corner of the street.Sv: Där inne var det varmt och mysigt, och stora fönster gav en perfekt, droppfylld utsikt över den blöta marknadsplatsen.En: Inside it was warm and cozy, and large windows offered a perfect, raindrop-filled view of the wet marketplace.Sv: Väl inne pustade de ut med ånga från sina kaffe och varm choklad som steg upp i små spiror.En: Once inside, they relaxed with steam rising from their coffee and hot chocolate in small spirals.Sv: Lars ställde ifrån sig telefonen för första gången den dagen, och hans bekymrade rynka slätades ut när han såg det varma livet utanför.En: Lars set his phone aside for the first time that day, and his worried frown smoothed out as he saw the warm life outside.Sv: När regnet så småningom lättade, syntes en svag regnbåge över de gamla, färgglada taken.En: When the rain gradually eased, a faint rainbow appeared over the old, colorful roofs.Sv: Karin log för sig själv.En: Karin smiled to herself.Sv: Trots vädret upptäckte hon något nytt om Gamla Stan – det handlade inte bara om historien, utan också om att skapa nya minnen med vänner.En: Despite the weather, she discovered something new about Gamla Stan—it was not just about history, but also about creating new memories with friends.Sv: Lars förstod hur viktigt det var att lägga arbetet åt sidan någon gång, och Elin njöt av stunden och tystnaden som fortfarande kunde tala till hjärtat.En: Lars understood how important it was to set work aside sometimes, and Elin enjoyed the moment and the silence that could still speak to the heart.Sv: De gick ut, frusna händer men med varma hjärtan, redo att ta sig an resten av marknaden.En: They went out, cold hands but with warm hearts, ready to take on the rest of the market.Sv: Gamla Stan glittrade i sitt blöta sken, och bland alla dofter och ljud insåg de att varje ögonblick räknades.En: Gamla Stan glistened in its wet shine, and among all the scents and sounds, they realized that every moment counted.

So, for 2025, we want to challenge you to get unstuck from those difficult sales cycles and lay the groundwork for some new energy as we come to the end of this year.

dig selv, Freja."En: "Take care of yourself, Freja."Da: Freja løb så hurtigt, hun kunne, på vej til politistationen.En: Freja ran as fast as she could, heading to the police station.Da: Med pengene

In the monochrome view of the city, where shadows dance with light I, Arthur Kane walk. A lone sentinel in a world gone mad. This city, with its Art Deco spires piercing the night like accusing fingers, echoes with the haunting melody of distant jazz and the rhythmic patter of rain on cobblestones. Its air is thick with the scent of wet asphalt and the faint, lingering trace of cigarette smoke. Tonight, under the watchful gaze of a gibbous moon, I narrate a tale steeped in darkness, drenched in the intoxicating perfume of mystery and the acrid tang of fear.

more:fluentfiction.org/dancing-on-the-cobblestones-an-unexpected-journey-in-budapest Story Transcript:Hu: Budapesten járunk.En: We are in Budapest.Hu: A szél sebesen száguld a Széchenyi lánchídon, és cibálja a zászlókat.En: The wind races swiftly on the Széchenyi Chain Bridge, tugging at the flags.Hu: Egy kis kávézó, a "Magyar Lendület", Zsolnay porcelán csészeivel, helyi kemencében készült pogácsáival és hagyományos bájjal várja a vendégeket.En: A little café, "Hungarian Momentum", with Zsolnay porcelain cups, homemade scones from the local oven, and a traditional charm, awaits guests.Hu: Lássunk róla, hogy ebben a helyi találkozóhelyben, ahol a jó bor, a finom ételek és a hangos nevetések egybefonódnak, emberek találkoznak és barátságok szövődnek.En: Let's see how in this local meeting place, where good wine, delicious food, and loud laughter intertwine, people meet and friendships are formed.Hu: László, magas, kopaszodó, de még mindig jóképű férfi, bakfis korában elszakadt barátaival, Évával és Péterrel, véletlenül bukkan be ebbe a helyi közösségi csomópontba.En: László, tall and balding but still handsome, had lost touch with his childhood friends Éva and Péter, and stumbled upon this local community hub by chance.Hu: Robogó munkanapjáról jött, ahol rutin napi teendőinek listájától telítették be.En: He had come from his bustling workday, where routine daily tasks had filled his schedule.Hu: Hallja a hangos zenét, a dobok ütemét és a cipők kopogását a fa padlón, ahogy a vendégek szívvel-lélekkel járják a magyar néptáncot.En: He heard the loud music, the beat of the drums, and the sound of shoes tapping on the wooden floor as guests enthusiastically danced the Hungarian folk dance.Hu: Miután odalépett az ablakhoz és némán figyelte a táncolókat még néhány percig, magában megjegyezte, hogy ha most belép, talán meg tudja változtatni a napját.En: After stepping to the window and silently observing the dancers for a few minutes, he thought to himself that if he entered now, perhaps he could change his day.Hu: A barátai, Éva és Péter már ott voltak, és fülig érő mosollyal fogadták őt.En: His friends, Éva and Péter, were already there, welcoming him with beaming smiles.Hu: Éva ruhája, mint a levelek a fákon, szelíd virágos mintával borított tágas szoknyában, felsője a hajnali fényben vibráló meleg barna színű volt.En: Éva's dress, like leaves on trees, covered in a gentle floral pattern, and her top vibrated with a warm brown color in the morning light.Hu: Szőke haja lófarokba volt kötve, szemében pedig vidámság csillogott.En: Her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail, and her eyes sparkled with joy.Hu: Vendégek, férfiak és nők keringőztek az apró térköveken, mint a szecessziós falakon lebegő fehér angyalok.En: Guests, men and women, waltzed on the small cobblestones like white angels floating on Art Nouveau walls.Hu: Éva és Péter elbűvölték Lászlót ezzel a csodálatos jelenettel, és ő, akinek már rég nem volt alkalma és energiája a táncra, eldöntötte, hogy ő is csatlakozik hozzájuk.En: Éva and Péter enchanted László with this marvelous scene, and he, who hadn't had the opportunity or energy for dancing in a long time, decided to join them.Hu: A következő óra finom káoszban telt.En: The next hour was filled with delightful chaos.Hu: László, aki gyorsan rájött, hogy a magyar néptánc messze van a lassú-valcer szerű mozgástól, amihez hozzá volt szokva, ingadozott, botladozott és prémes arckifejezéssel figyelte a lába mozgását.En: László quickly realized that Hungarian folk dance was far from the slow waltz-like movements he was used to, and he swayed, stumbled, and made a comical expression as he observed his feet.Hu: Cipője kalapálta a padlót, ütemen kívül, ahogy próbált lépést tartani a többiek tempoja.En: His shoes tapped the floor out of sync as he tried to keep up with the others' tempo.Hu: Az emberek kacagva figyelték vég nélküli próbálkozásait.En: People laughed, watching his never-ending attempts.Hu: Végül Éva és Péter elvesztették a türelmüket, és mindketten megpróbálták megtanítani Lászlónak a bonyolult mozdulatokat.En: Finally, Éva and Péter lost their patience and both tried to teach László the intricate movements.Hu: A tánclecke meleg és és meghitt volt, és hatalmas nevetésekbe fulladtak, mindannyiuk arcán kacér mosollyal.En: The dance lesson was warm and intimate, accompanied by bursts of laughter and mischievous smiles on all their faces.Hu: Szavak nélkül is érezte László, hogy sokáig megőrzi majd ezt a napot emlékezetében.En: Even without words, László felt that he would cherish this day in his memory for a long time.Hu: Az est folyamán László nagy örömmel tapasztalta, hogy a magyar néptánc mindig mélyen él a szívében, arra várva, hogy felszabaduljon.En: During the evening, László was joyfully reminded that Hungarian folk dance always thrives deep within his heart, waiting to be set free.Hu: Az érzelem és a nevetés okozta meleg erővel elűzte a világ gondjait.En: The warm power of emotion and laughter swept away the worries of the world.Hu: Megejtő volt a rájövetel, hogy a tánc és a kulturális hagyomány termőtalajának csak az a célja, hogy összekösse egymással az emberek lelkét.En: It was enchanting to discover that the purpose of dance and cultural tradition is to connect people's souls.Hu: A történet azt üzeni nekünk, hogy soha ne féljünk megszabadulni nap mint nap felhalmozódó gondjainktól, és legyünk bátrak, hogy bevonódjunk egy helyi közösségbe.En: The story tells us to never be afraid of letting go of our accumulating daily worries and to be courageous in becoming part of a local community.Hu: Talán ugyanazok az érzések, amelyek végigkísérték Lászlót ezen a különös, de előre nem látható táncleckén, várakoznak ránk is valahol.En: Perhaps the same feelings that accompanied László during this peculiar but unforeseen dance lesson await us somewhere too.

Pamela Means is among the most incisive and insightful describers of injustice and indignation, anger and antipathy — on a level with few others. Her songs create a lens, and in its focus we can call out the racists, the fascists, the homophobes, the horror dealers among us. And yet, Pamela Means is at the same time a writer of love songs, making space for love. This is the story of her career doing both and more and how Pamela continues to honor that heavy responsibility, speaking the truth and calling things out.Clips in this episode:James Cameron (Pamela Means, ‘Single Bullet Theory' - 2003)Maybe You Should (Pamela Means, ‘Cobblestones' - 1998)Strange Fruit (Pamela Means, ‘Single Bullet Theory' - 2003)Potholes (Pamela Means, ‘Bone Spurs' - 1995)Speak - Live w.

Happy Halloween! In this very light astrological week: The Aquarius First Quarter Moon tests resolve about projects that began back in January.

This is the First Quarter Moon in a Lunar Phase Family that began with the Aquarius New Moon on January 31, 2022. [3:36] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon periods. Oct. 31: The Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Pisces at 8:14 am PDT and is VOC for about a half hour before entering Aquarius (8:43am PDT). Use this brief interlude to write down one big project you would like to accomplish. [4:50] November 2: The Moon in Aquarius trines retrograde Mars, then goes VOC for about seven and a half hours before entering Pisces (11:46 am PDT). Use this time to brainstorm - then add your ideas to the very practical outline that developed during that Halloween morning, Moon in Capricorn coffee klatch! [5:48] November 4: The Moon in Pisces conjoins Jupiter (3:05 pm PDT) and is VOC for about one hour before entering Aries (4:07 pm PDT). This is just a little mid-afternoon, VOC nap to dream big Jupiterian dreams. [6:26] Venus (Scorpio 17°03') opposes Uranus (Taurus 17°03') on November 5th at 3:22 pm PDT.  The Sabian symbol for Venus, 18 Scorpio, is, Wood rich in autumn coloring.

[8:48] Eclipses in astrology signify change and crisis – but don't be afraid, crisis just means you need to move in a new direction! [9:58] Solar Eclipses tend to be experienced through overwhelming emotions.

[16:51] Eclipses in aspect to your natal planets. April looks only at squares, conjunctions, and oppositions within a 4°orb.

Author Giovanni Ruscitti feels home at the piazza in Cansano, loves mentoring and wants you to read “Cobblestones, Conversations and Corks”. Let's go Beyond the Mic. Beyond the Mic with Sean Dillon is the conversation series where actors, artists, authors, and more go deeper than a traditional interview. They go “Beyond the Mic”.

For the past twenty years, I've been the father of triplets and so much of my identity is tied to my role as father. But what happens when they fly the nest and begin living independently? I'll admit it, I had a bit of an identity crisis when they went off to college and it took me some time to identify with other parts of my identity that I had suppressed or even forgotten. Today's guest, Giovanni Ruscitti, only discovered a significant part of his identity later in adulthood upon visiting his father's ancestral town in Italy. His father fled Italy in 1943 after the Nazis came in and, after surviving in the mountains for a while, managed to immigrate to the United States where he worked a series of odd jobs while beginning and raising a family. Meet Giovanni Ruscitti: Giovanni is a first generation Italian-American who grew up in Frederick, Colorado, a small coal mining town that his parents and grandparents immigrated to in the 1950s and early 1960s. He is a nationally recognized attorney, arbitrator, and mediator, as well as a frequent speaker at national legal events and was named as one of the most influential business leaders in Colorado, and has served on numerous non-profit boards. Giovanni joined me today to talk about his memoir, Cobblestones, Conversations, and Corks: A Son's Discovery of His Italian Heritage. Topics Covered: Learning empathy for one's parents after seeing firsthand the circumstances in which they were raised. How outrage towards the death of George Floyd and the spotlight on the Black Lives Matter movement encouraged Giovanni to tell his father's story.  The Importance of not judging others so quickly and recognizing that everyone has a backstory of which we are unaware. Why Giovanni believes that forgiveness is freedom and how forgiving his father led to having a closer personal relationship with him. “Forgiveness is freedom. Most people are doing the best they can under the circumstances with the tools that they have. I learned that from my father and was able to forgive the things that put us apart for a period of time. I've learned you have to try to understand why someone is doing what they're doing and who they are. Don't be so quick to judge.” — Giovanni Ruscitti Buy: Cobblestones, Conversations, and Corks: A Son's Discovery of His Italian Heritage Amazon: https://amzn.to/3d1X9q0 Connect with Giovanni  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/giovanni-ruscitti-5070835/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gio_1966/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1120740796 Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/rusc66 Connect with Mike Website: https://uncorkingastory.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSvS4fuG3L1JMZeOyHvfk_g Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ If you like this episode, please share it with a friend.

Spencer Schneider https://www.spencer-schneider.com/BOOK: Manhattan Cult StoryAt its core, Manhattan Cult Story is a cautionary tale of how hundreds of well-educated, savvy, and prosperous New Yorkers became fervent followers of a brilliant but demented cult leader who posed as a teacher of ancient knowledge. It's about double-lives, the power of group psychology, and how easy it is to be radicalized—all too relevant in today's atmosphere of conspiracy and ideologue worship.Renee Linnellhttps://reneelinnell.com/authorBOOK: Still On Fire: A MemoirGiovanni Ruscittihttps://bhgrlaw.com/people/attorneys/giovanni-m-ruscitti/https://www.radiusbookgroup.com/book/cobblestones-conversations-and-corks-a-sons-discovery-of-his-italian-heritage/

With the popularity of websites like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com…more Americans than ever are seeking out their lineage and heritage…providing special relevance for all North and South Americans whose ancestors have migrated from Asia, Europe, and Africa. And with more immigrants on the move in Europe due to the war in the Ukraine, the parallels between the mass exodus from Europe during WWII and today are real. Passionate and deeply moving, Giovanni Ruscitti's memoir debut, Cobblestones, Conversations, and Corks: A Son's Discovery of His Italian Heritage, explores his complex relationship with his father; a culture, identity, and upbringing rooted in family, food, and wine; and the revelations of his first visit, at age 46, to his ancestral Italian village that his father left behind after World War II. Ruscitti explores several themes in this multifaceted memoir that everyone can relate to, including: Identity. Can you truly be from a place you have never experienced or touched? Ruscitti shares how—without really having appreciated and understood it—he had been shaped by his parents' town of origin and especially by its proud, ambitious men. Fathers and sons. A successful attorney in Colorado, Ruscitti learned many lessons from his father Emiliano, an incredibly skilled carpenter. A common lecture included his saying, “Don't be afraid. You can do anything.” A love affair with food. While other teenagers hung out and played sports, Ruscitti would accompany his dad to his maternal grandfather Panfilo's wine cellar a few blocks from his house to make wine, prosciutto, cheeses, and dried sausages, just like in the old country. Living history. The pages of history books came alive as Ruscitti learned of the unimaginable circumstances faced by his family during World War II and its aftermath, and how they truly were part of “The Greatest Generation.” The Next Generation. This book touches on the next generation who are trying to reacquaint themselves with ancestry and the homeland.

Interview with Luisa Ramondo, author of 'Beyond the Cobblestones.'

Luisa's debut began as a recording of her mother's life growing up in a small village in southern Italy and her journey to break free from the poverty and bleakness of her environment, but quickly grew into a historical novel tracing the journey of a gutsy, independent young woman yearning for a better life. Luisa also discusses publishing through a crowd-sourcing method of finance whereby pre-orders paid for most of her initial costs as well as providing her with a solid group of immediate and loyal fans.   Luisa, affectionately known for her Italian heritage and nurturing traits, is an award-winning real estate agent who lives in the Philadelphia area with her husband and three sons. When she's not writing or selling houses, Luisa can be found on the tennis courts, on a yoga mat, or in the kitchen. Luisa is known for her natural cooking abilities and effortless entertaining skills. Scents of tomato and basil drift through her welcoming home as she regularly delights her friends and family with Sunday dinners – experiences she's carried from her own youth that helped to inspire her novel.

Tomás Mulligan is our guest for episode 105 of Rebel Matters. We discussed the supposed ‘development' that was planned for the Cobblestone Bar last year, an institution of traditional music and a cultural hub in Dublin city. Tomás shares his family long standing and deep connection with the Cobblestone, talks about how they found out about the proposed plan, and how the protests took hold that ultimately saved the Cobblestones from being the latest casualty what seems to be a sustained attack on cultural spaces in Dublin city. An important listen for anyone interested in organising collective action to protect cultural and communal spaces, and for anyone who is interested in preserving the spaces that that allow our music, art, and culture to flourish. 

Take a listen to this episode about our unique and varying paths in life. Deciding to do what is our best and best for us individually. Creating a life that is best for us in different seasons of our life. Adapting to change, shifting and honoring yourself. This episode is a true message for those that struggle with hard decisions. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/keya2/message

This is a ten-minute trailer for our latest episode for Friends of the Podcast. To sign up go to thecyclingpodcast.comIf ever a rider was built for Paris-Roubaix it was Magnus Bäckstedt. Since turning professional and seeing the cobblestones for the first time, he dreamed of conquering the Hell of the North. But, like the journey from Compiègne to the velodrome, Bäckstedt's journey was far from smooth. There were a couple of years when he and his team didn't even make it to the start line of his favourite race. But in 2004, everything came together perfectly on the day when Bäckstedt won a four-man sprint to fulfil his dream.There's more to Bäckstedt's career than Paris-Roubaix, though, and in this conversation with Lionel Birnie he talks about his early days as a downhill skier, his stage win at the 1998 Tour de France, the ups and downs of his career and how he feels about the possibility of his daughters riding Paris-Roubaix one day.Series: Friends of the Podcast 2021

Good Morning Onward Nation — I’m Stephen Woessner, CEO of Predictive ROI and your host. And holy bananas — it’s a New Year and a brand new DECADE! This time of year is special…maybe it’s because how much I love Christmas…or maybe it’s the second chance to get things right that each New Year represents. Between Thanksgiving and New Years — I intentionally take time to reflect back on what was accomplished in the previous year — and — consciously direct my attention toward the year ahead. I map out strategies, action steps, draw out illustrations in my journal of how it will all coming together — and when it’s done — I feel at peace with what is about to be put into place. Then with each passing day — as we get closer to January 1st — the excitement builds and I can’t wait for the starting line to get here!!! Because that line was just a few day ago — I elected to focus today’s solocast on two topics that will be helpful to you and your team if your goal for 2020 is to Double Down! And for covering the two topics — I’m going to take you behind the curtain to shine a light on some of the biggest obstacles to building and scaling that we experienced during the early days of Predictive ROI. I decided to share these lessons with you in full transparency — although embarrassing — because getting them right was a key to stabilizing and then growing Predictive. And — I wanted to share tangible examples with you…not marketing hyperbole or theory. I also decided to share these lessons in the hopes that if I can help you avoid some of the mistakes, missed opportunity, or gain traction faster than we did…well…that’s rock solid awesome! So buckle in — here we go… The early years of Predictive ROI started over a decade ago. I wrote my first book — The Small Business Owner’s Handbook to Search Engine Optimization — back in 2009. Shortly after it was published — I started getting offers to do side work projects for companies. At the time — I was part of faculty and academic staff at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse and happy with my position within the College of Business. I was teaching at UW-La Crosse and several other UW campuses include the School of Business at UW-Madison. I was also involved in on-campus research, publishing, and serving our community through board seats and committee work. I loved being on campus and my plate was full. For a while — I just declined the side work that came as a result of my book. I said “thank you but no” because I didn’t want there to be any conflict of interest with the university. But then I did some research — determined that it would be fine to say yes here and there — did a project — and holy bananas…it was a lot of fun. The side work grew to the point that I had to make a difficult decision. Was I going to stay at the university — or — take on the challenge of trying to build a company? I couldn’t say no to the challenge — so I resigned from the university and most of the people who knew me thought I was making a mistake. Not going to sugar coat it for you — the first 5 years of Predictive ROI felt like an impossible grind. There were exceptionally long hours, we aimlessly wandered through wins, losses, and tried to figure out our identity. On the personal side — my wife and I invested everything we had into the company — and we racked up personal debt. We were beyond “all in.” Now that we’re on the other side of it — Praise God — I can see that we struggled because of several fundamental flaws within the business. One — we lacked clarity around a vision for Predictive. Two — we had zero idea of what an ideal client or prospect looked like. And Three — because of points One and Two…we said “yes” to every project and every client, which cost us time and money each and every time but we were too blind to see it. But thankfully — with the help of incredible mentors and lessons learned from our generous Onward Nation guests — we began to see that in order to be excellent at points 2 and 3 — we had to get our vision for the business down on paper and begin living by it. So we dug in. And when we did — we learned that “vision” actually meant three things: 1) defining our core values 2) getting clear on our purpose 3) constructing a mission that embodied a bold and audacious goal for Predictive We didn’t have any of these in the early years. Because here’s the reality. We were working hard just to survive and we didn’t give ourselves the time to think strategically about the direction of the business. Candidly — I would have rolled my eyes at the notion of taking the time to work on it. I likely would have said, “Yeah, that’s all well and good — but I have sales to make.” It’s really hard to think about vision when the pressure of making payroll is upon you. Sound familiar? Ever heard the expression, “Running a business feels a lot like fixing the plane while flying it”. Whoever came up with that line was so spot on. My team and I did a lot of “fixing while flying” and we knitted the early years of the business together. Then — we got a little breathing room. Then a little bit more. We paid off several chunks of debt and began to see the sun through the clouds. But as nice as the breathing room was — we also felt some obstacles to going further. We could see ahead but also felt stuck. Then it clicked — we had taken Predictive as far as we could without putting a proper foundation into place. Thanks to lessons from our mentors (Drew McLellan and Brett Gilliland if you’re reading this…THANK YOU!), and the hard work put in by my leadership team — and all of our teammates — we now have a foundation (vision) for Predictive that include values, purpose, and mission. You can find our core values on PredictiveROI.com here. And funny thing… As we were going down the path of doing our vision work — I was also interviewing successful business owners for Onward Nation episodes — and I kept hearing our guests talk about the importance of vision, values, purpose, and mission and how completely that work made a huge difference in the trajectory of their companies. Quick aside for a second… Have you ever bought what you think is a unique car? And then “all of a sudden” as you’re driving along — you see versions of your new car driving down the road? The cars were of course there all the time but you didn’t see them because of the “reticular activating system” — or RAS — inside your brain. Your brain was literally blocking your ability to see the other cars. But your RAS let them in once there was commonality and that data point became relevant to you. Weird how our brains work, right? The lessons around vision were always there in front of me — either from mentors or Onward Nation guests — but my brain blocked the knowledge until I was ready to receive it. So I’m hopeful that if your goal is to DOUBLE DOWN in 2020 — you’ll be open to what I’m sharing with you. Getting your vision down on paper, building the right team around your vision, and having a structure in place to measure progress is critical if you’re going to scale to an 8-figure business and reach $10 million+ in annual revenue. I’m going to share two resources that will be helpful as you do your visioning work. First — I recommend reading some of Jim Collins’ earlier work. You may be familiar with Jim as the author of “Good to Great”, which is a rock solid awesome book to be sure. But in my opinion — Jim’s earlier and a lesser-known book, “Beyond Entrepreneurship” is better because of the deep dive around vision, values, purpose, and mission. You can find Jim’s book on Amazon here. Second — I encourage you to attend the free training that I’m co-hosting tomorrow (January 9th) with Brett Gilliland, CEO of Elite Entrepreneurs. As I mention earlier — Brett is one of my mentors and he’s also a 2-time alum of Onward Nation. Before founding Elite Entrepreneurs, Brett was one of the key executives at Infusionsoft that helped grow the company from $10 million in annual sales to over $100 million. He now teaches his Elite members the principles he and the team at Infusionsoft used to build, scale, and dominate their industry. Because I felt the tremendous impact of working through vision alongside Brett and his team — I asked if he would be open to sharing his expertise in a free training session so you could learn directly from him, too. He graciously agreed. The free training is TOMORROW, January 9th at 1:00 Eastern. This is a private training — just for you and other business owners in our community. You can find the details here. If you can’t make it live — still register so you get the recorded replay. Okay — just a couple more insights around the visioning work we did at Predictive. One — it doesn’t have to take you and your team years to get the work done. I wish we put ours on paper WAY BEFORE year 8 in our journey. Good grief. Learn the framework from Brett on January 9th, study Jim’s book, and get your vision down on paper…quickly. If you do that — you will be YEARS ahead of your competition as you step into 2020. Most of them are aimlessly wandering through the wilderness — but you won’t be and that’s a powerful advantage. And Two — no matter what you put down on paper…just recognize it will evolve over time. As you bring more people onto your team — they will make it better by pushing against it in new ways. And they will add things to it that you would have never thought of and likely help make it even more audacious. Awesome. Stop waiting. Push the fear to the curb — take an afternoon. It won’t kill your business if you step away for a few hours (you just think it will — trust me — been there). Promise yourself that you’ll get it done. Good? Okay — I look forward to hearing more about your 2020 plan with your newly defined — or updated — vision. Drop me a line at stephen@predictiveroi.com — would love to hear from you. Now that the foundation of a vision has been set in your business — let’s work through how to go about building a sales funnel to ensure you have enough opportunity flowing into your business…so there’s enough cash to fund all of the things you need to get done in order to DOUBLE DOWN in 2020. And let’s start off with setting some expectations and some definitions around what sales funnels are — and — what sales funnels are not. I’m starting us here because there is so much marketing hyperbole around sales funnels that I can barely spend time on Facebook any more. If I have to see one more Facebook ad from “business coach” claiming that all I need to do in order to build my business is to download his or her 7-figure email swipe file…I think I might scream. Most of those ads are gimmicks and are being promoted by coaches who don’t really have an actual business. They have built a revenue stream by selling you a thing that will show you have to build a similar revenue stream by selling the same thing to other people just like you. Do you remember back in the day the classified ads…mail in $7.00 and you will get this thing that will show you how to place classified ads and you will make a ton of money? Same game — it’s just now being played on Facebook. That’s not a business. And that’s not a sales funnel that will help you build a 7-figure or 8-figure business delivering real value to your clients. And here’s another reality check about those 7-figure business coaches we see and hear on Facebook. Did you know that… According to the US Department of Labor — only 4% of the 28 million businesses in this country ever…like ever…reach over 1 million in annual sales. And I’m pretty sure that the majority of coaches and quasi-experts making the 7-figure claim haven’t truly reached a million dollars in their business, they haven’t owned an actual business, or they’ve never built and scaled a company like what you and I are building. So our discussion around how to build a sales funnel is going to be much different. You and I are going to focus on the content you need to create to establish yourself as THE AUTHORITY in your market — and — how to structure your service offering into a VALUE LADDER that actually works for filling the sales pipeline in your business. No gimmicks. But instead — it will take time and effort but you will have something in the end that is actually helpful to your business. Good? The speed at which you build and scale your business will largely depend on two things: 1) your ability to teach and share your expertise to build and nurture your audience through consistent cornerstone content… And 2) how well you construct your value ladder. Okay — let’s tackle each of these. How do you build and nurture your audience? You do that by creating “Cornerstone Content” and sharing it with your audience. So what is cornerstone content? Drew McLellan, CEO of Agency Management Institute and host of the Build a Better Agency Podcast, and I recently finished writing a book entitled, Sell with Authority. So here’s how Drew defines Cornerstone Content…it’s content that’s: Meaty enough to produce lost of smaller pieces Significiant enough to serve as the epicenter of your promotion, activity, and eventual fame within your circle of influence Consistent in how often you create content and how much you stay focused on one topic or area of subject matter Sales-free. This is about teaching and helping. Stop. Period. End of story. It’s always about your audience. That should be your primary goal. It’s a long term play. No one’s going to recognize you as an Authority after three months. Now do you see why I think the 7-figure email swipe file sounds ridiculous? Argh. Cornerstone Content is meaty, dense content that gives you plenty of opportunities to slice and dice into what Drew and I call, smaller “Cobblestones.” Depending on the channel you choose for your cornerstone content, you might only need to create it once a year — like a research study — or in the case of a video or podcast series…it should be once per week. As you and your team talk through how, what, where, why that you should be creating cornerstone content for your 2020 content strategy — I encourage you to go back to Episode 676 of Onward Nation…because I break it all down. I think it will be helpful to you and your team. And it is through consistent cornerstone content that you will build and nurture your audience. Drew and I are often asked, “But…how long will it take?” And as you may have guessed — the answer is…it depends and there are several factors… First — the consistency of your content creation. Are you disciplined with a weekly schedule? Second — the quality of your content. Are you saying something fresh or just repeating old news? Third — the amount of time and effort you spend promoting and sharing your content. Fourth — the hunger of your audience. Some of them are starving and will gobble up everything you share. Others may only consume the tastiest of offers. Fifth — the level of competiton and how narrow you decide to go. If you’re writing about general healthcare marketing, for example, it’s going to be a long haul. If you’re writing about marketing to women over 50 with breast cancer…you’ll have much quicker adoption. And sixth — those luckly-strike moments like having someone else with a similar audience share your content in their world. But as I said earlier — building a nurturing your audience is not a get rich quick scheme. Drew and I will often say that you should count on taking six months to a year before you reap any significant benefit from your efforts. By year two, you should be dancing a jig at how well it’s working, and by year three, you should be well-established as the authority you are. If you go back to Episode 864 of Onward Nation — I walk through the pros of going narrow…and how going narrow is the secret to monetizing faster. Now that you have a framework for your 2020 content strategy — we can turn our attention to how your content ought to be structured in a sales funnel that will act as a pipeline to grow your business. In order to do that…you need to think of your audience in four different categories. You have a MACRO audience…a MICRO audience…a NANO audience…and an EXISTING audience. Let’s break each of these down. When someone is part of your MACRO audience — they engage with your cornerstone content from the sidelines…at a distance. They consume…they may even subscribe to your podcast via iTunes or your YouTube series…but they are not addressable. Meaning — they yet haven’t stepped forward and shared their email address with you in exchange for a downloadable thing or some other resource. Website visitors, most social media traffic, and podcast subscribers are all part of your MACRO audience. For example, iTunes doesn’t allow you to download an email list of your podcast subscribers. You also can’t download an email list of everyone who visits your website on a daily basis. Yes, your website visitors can be retargeted through paid ads — but even then — they’re still not addressable one-to-one via email. So your goal is to grow your MACRO audience while remaining focused on your niche. You don’t need a million downloads of your podcast episodes if you’re focused on serving a small, super profitable niche. Now for MICRO… Once someone decides to share their email address with you in exchange for a piece of content like an eBook or some other resource…they become part of your “addressable” MICRO audience. They have moved to the second stage of your sales funnel. MACRO is stage one — and MICRO is stage two. They have raised their hand and said — “Okay — you have earned enough of my trust that I am willing to give you my email address to get access to X resource.” Yes, one could argue that social media followers are addressable because you could send a direct or a private message to a specific follower. Or…you could download the email addresses of all your LinkedIn connections and send them an email campaign. All true. But — in reality — you have a business to run and will not likely have the time to do much one-to-one messaging on social — and — GDPR made downloading the email list of a LinkedIn connections and hitting “send” — pretty risky. So — in thinking about what’s realistic — MICRO for you is most likely when someone opts in for your e-newsletter or downloads a helpful resource from your website. Before we move on to NANO — I want to share another lesson from Drew that had a significant impact on me…and my guess is…it will be helpful to you, too. And that is that someone may stay in your MICRO audience for a day or a decade. All you can do is be helpful over that period of time. Provide them with helpful resources, great recommendations they can take and apply, and be patient. When someone in your MICRO audience feels comfortable — and you have delivered the best of what you’ve got — and have done that for years — and have always put their interest ahead of your own — some of them will be ready to move on to stage three…or NANO. NANO is where the monetization happens. A whole lot of trust needs to be built before someone moved to NANO. For example, if one of the podcast guests who happens to be a member of your “Dream 25 Prospect List” decides to engage you and team for a project…or a guest books you teach a workshop, deliver keynote at their conference…or you offer a course to your MICRO audience and it sells…these are all examples of monetizing at the NANO level. But — and this ties directly into the next chunk of what I wanted to share with you during this solocast. It will be difficult for you to monetize at NANO — or to build a consistent sales pipeline for your business if you haven’t taken the time to build out a value ladder. Your value ladder provides new and existing clients with defined ways to begin or continue doing business with you. It starts with a low price point and limited scope of work…and progressively increases in price and scope. When you have your value ladder fully built out — it might include 3, 5, or 8 different rungs that go from free all the way up to your highest priced, and most valuable service level. But for the ease of discussion and getting started…I want you to think of just three rungs on your ladder…and then you can build it from there and make it more sophisticated over time. The price point on the first rung on your ladder is FREE. So if you’ve completed the MICRO stage in the sales funnel…you’ve already got the first rung of your value ladder built. But don’t stop with just one downloadable eBook, guide, or tip sheet. Because if you offer up one thing…it will appeal to a segment of your MACRO audience…but of course…not everyone. So I encourage you to build out a Resource Library where you are offering your MACRO audience many FREE resources that can be helpful to them across a number of different situations or scenarios. The Resources Library on PredictiveROI.com could be a helpful example as you and your team build out your own. Okay — the second rung on your value ladder should be a service offering that you can provide a client priced at about 10-15% of your desired gross profit. Gross Profit is your revenue less any cost of goods sold. So let’s say your ideal client represents annual gross profit of $50,000 to $200,000 for your company…then the second rung on your value ladder would be scope of work that you could price anywhere between $5,000 and $20,000 in gross profit. The goal of the second rung is for your prospect client to step into a relationship with you. To evaluate what it’s like to work with you and your team. To see if you can deliver what you promise for a $5,000 project before they commit to a $50,000 spend with you. So maybe that’s you and your team building out a strategic plan for them. Doing some research with defined scope. Maybe delivering a training program on-site for their team that they can take and apply internally for the remainder of the year. You decide how you want to knit it together — but the second rung on the ladder is your foot in the door — and your opportunity to demonstrate the smarts of your team in action. With that said — will some clients step into a larger relationship with you right away and essentially by-pass rung two? Yes, it will happen and has likely already happened with you. But you also know — that it doesn’t always happen that way, and my guess is, if your sales strategy is to only present your full scope of work at the maximum price point…you have lost more opportunity than you have won. So if rung one is free…and rung two is 10-15% of your ideal client spend…then rung three is 50-100% of the ideal clients spend. Or in this example…$50,000 to $200,000 in annual revenue. This is where your team is delivering everything. Putting all of their smarts to work in order to solve a client’s business challenges. You’re delivering the best of what you have to offer at rung three — and — this is where you are establishing what will hopefully turn into a long-term relationship with your new client because you and your team have demonstrated how you can deliver significant value. So let’s sum up a few points before we close out and say goodbye. Building a scaling a business is hard — I know you don’t need me to tell you that — but sometimes having someone from the outside acknowledge the struggle and the super courageous thing you are doing…well, quite frankly…it feels good. Next — get your vision down on paper. Read Jim Collin’s book “Beyond Entrepreneurship” and attend tomorrow’s webinar with Brett Gilliland. After that — build your strategy for cornerstone content. Then take that content strategy and map it against the MACRO, MICRO, and NANO sales funnel. And lastly — build your value ladder so it’s as easy as possible for a prospective client to move from MICRO into the NANO stage and begin a relationship with you and your team. Okay — with that said – I’m over the moon excited for you as you step into 2020. This is the start of more than just the New Year. It’s the start of a new decade…and my bold prediction is…if you take and apply even just slices of what you and I reviewed during this solocast…you and your team will Double Down in some key areas in 2020. That’s darn exciting and I’m grateful to you for giving me this opportunity to walk alongside you on the path. And one last thing before we close out and say goodbye, Onward Nation — I want to give you a very big thank you…in fact…let’s call it a virtual hug. There’s absolutely no way we’d be approaching 1,000 episodes — and — there’s no way we’d have this opportunity to serve business owners in 120 countries without your support, your encouragement, and your feedback. Here’s the reality — you help us get better every day, Onward Nation. To have you here means a lot — so THANK YOU! I look forward to being back with you again next week – until then – Double Down – and move Onward with Gusto into 2020!

Looking for fun and feeling groovy

Today's guest is J.Karen AKA Granny J.  J.Karen does onsite wetsuit repair down at San Onofre State surfing beach on Friday and Saturday. If the job is bigger, you can drop off your wetsuit at Killer Dana of Terry Senate Surfboards, and she will pick them up and do repairs.  She is a traveler and spends half her time in beautiful British Columbia. She fixed one of my favorite wetsuits and it was cheap and easy. She was a delight to meet and she is a character with a wonderful story. I packed up the VW bus early on Saturday morning and headed to Sano for a surf and an interview. After a fun session in the chilly water, I headed back to the bus to warm up and set up the mics. I had a great parking spot that perched right over the Cobblestones with the perfect view of the surfers at the Point.  Please enjoy my conversation with the wise and talented...   Ms Granny J

Whispers of Oxenfurt is a podcast covering the Witcher universe. I try to analyze the stories from a moral and ethical perspective. I rebooted the podcast to make it a little more focused. This episode covers "The Witcher" and discusses the actions Geralt makes in the story. "Blood on the Cobblestones" and "Whispers of Oxenfurt" are composed by Mikolai Stroinski and come from the Witcher 3 soundtrack. I hold no rights to anything.

This Sunday we'll see one of the weirdest spectacles in pro cycling: GC guys and skinny climbers trying to survive the Paris-Roubaix cobblestones. Does stage 9 make sense to include in a race like the Tour de France? We discuss. Plus, we hear from Dan Martin on his stage 6 win, talk to a few sport directors about the cobblestone chaos that is sure to ensue this weekend, and more. This episode of the VeloNews podcast is sponsored by CycleOps, makers of the Hammer indoor smart trainer. The VeloNews editorial staff may be hunched over computers all day during the Tour de France, but we can stay fit all July, day or night, by hopping on the Hammer and riding in our favorite virtual training app, like Zwift, Rouvy, TrainerRoad, or The SufferFest.
