Have you ever sent a well-written, thoroughly researched podcast pitch… only to hear nothing back? Then you head to their social media page, follow them, then send a DM with your topic idea? But still, no response. Then you've gone to a show's website and read the line: "We do not accept guest pitches." So how are you supposed to get through to the show host with a great topic? It can feel frustrating, especially when you know your message could bring real value to the audience. But the silence isn't always about gatekeeping. There's a shift happening in the visibility landscape. In Episode 482 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I break down why podcast hosts and show producers are increasingly ignoring cold pitches and what signal they're actually sending instead. The reality is that many hosts are overwhelmed with unqualified requests, which has pushed them to rely more heavily on trusted referrals and existing relationships. That doesn't mean getting booked is impossible. It simply means the strategy has changed. In this conversation, I share the three pathways that are replacing cold pitching and opening the door to better visibility opportunities: authority positioning, strategic proximity, and curated ecosystems. These approaches put you in the rooms where your message is recognized, your credibility grows, and the invitations start to happen organically. If you've been wondering why your podcast pitches aren't landing—or how to position yourself so hosts reach out to you instead—this episode will help you rethink how visibility really works today.   Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why podcast hosts are no longer accepting guest pitches and what that really signals. [03:19] The real reason cold podcast pitches fail in a noisy visibility landscape. [04:24] Why hosts rely on referrals and trusted relationships instead of unknown guest requests. [06:25] The first pathway: how authority positioning makes you the logical person to invite. [07:36] Why consistent authority platforms help you become known, trusted, and top of mind. [09:13] The second pathway: how strategic proximity puts you in the right rooms for visibility. [10:48] Why speaking gigs and podcast interviews often come from relationships, not pitches. [11:40] The third pathway: how curated ecosystems create faster access to aligned hosts and opportunities. [13:42] When high-touch introductions and curated connections accelerate visibility more effectively than pitching. [14:39] Why relying on pitches is no longer the best visibility strategy if you want meaningful results. [15:35] The power move: combining authority positioning, strategic proximity, and curated ecosystems together.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Rising Tide Collective is an online community where experts and leaders come together to co-create visibility opportunities and aligned collaborations that lift everyone up.

In this first part of what became a two-part conversation, we sat down with anesthesia provider Charles Miller from Scenic City Neurotherapy for a discussion that challenged so many assumptions about ketamine therapy.Charles presents what he calls the "collective lie" in ketamine therapy - the argument that the obsession with psychedelic experiences and mystical insights for a growing segment of providers in our industry is not just misguided, but actually making our patients worse. He walks through the neurobiological evidence showing that the real therapeutic action happens days after treatment during the neuroplasticity window, not during those profound moments when patients feel like they're talking to God or having life-changing realizations.You'll hear Charles critique the research methodologies that seem to support ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, explaining why group averages can mask poor individual outcomes and why the frequently cited KAP studies may actually show lower success rates than standard ketamine protocols. He also shares refreshingly honest advice about starting a clinic - including his decision to open with folding chairs rather than go into debt for impressive furniture.We're also trying something new with this episode: audio sidebars. As we talk, we'll pause to provide additional context about complex concepts like psychoplastogens, research study limitations, and the cutting-edge science behind separating therapeutic effects from psychedelic experiences. Think of these as educational moments designed to help you fully understand and enjoy the episode.This conversation will make you question whether the approaches many of us have been using actually serve our patients - or if we've been chasing the wrong mechanisms entirely.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Charles's entrepreneurial journey - How he started Scenic City Neurotherapy with minimal capital and his advice for keeping overhead low during startup· The "collective lie" concept - Why Charles believes the field's emphasis on ketamine experiences actually reduces treatment success rates· Neuroplasticity mechanisms - Detailed explanation of the NMDA-glutamate-BDNF pathway and why the therapeutic window occurs after, not during, ketamine administration· Psychoplastogens vs psychedelics - Understanding David E. Olson's groundbreaking research on compounds that promote neuroplasticity without hallucinogenic effects· Research methodology critique - Analysis of popular KAP studies and why methodological flaws may be masking poor individual patient outcomes· Evidence-based positioning - How to counter the "ketamine is just anesthesia" criticism with solid neurobiological science· Experience vs neuroplasticity - Why Charles argues that focusing on insights and visions during treatment may be counterproductiveKey Takeaways· Ketamine may function primarily as a psychoplastogen rather than a classic psychedelic, blocking NMDA receptors to trigger neuroplasticity cascades instead of flooding serotonin receptors like traditional psychedelics· The therapeutic neuroplasticity window occur days to weeks after ketamine administration, when BDNF-driven synaptic remodeling takes place, not necessarily during the acute dissociative experience· Research comparing ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to standard protocols could show mixed results, with some studies reporting lower individual response rates despite promising group averages· Providers who overfocus on experiential components during treatment may inadvertently create performance pressure that could reduce patient outcomes and increase perceived treatment failure rates· Startup ketamine clinics might benefit from beginning embarrassingly small with minimal overhead, focusing resources on essential clinical equipment rather than impressive lobbies or furniture· David E. Olson's psychoplastogen research suggests that neuroplastic benefits might be separable from psychedelic experiences, supporting approaches that prioritize physiological mechanisms over experiential componentsEpisode 52 show notes:00:00:00 - Teaser: When Patients Feel They Failed00:00:17 - Introduction and Episode Setup00:02:06 - Charles's Journey into Ketamine Therapy00:04:30 - The Entrepreneurial Leap00:06:00 - Startup Advice: Think Embarrassingly Small00:08:30 - Evolution of the Ketamine Field00:10:00 - The "Collective Lie" Concept Introduction00:12:30 - Neurobiological Mechanisms00:16:30 - Psychoplastogens vs. Psychedelics00:24:00 - David E.

If you've ever looked around your home and thought, “This used to feel like me… but now it doesn't anymore,” this episode is for you. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing a real Decorating SOS call with Rebecca, a homeowner who's ready to evolve her style. She's transitioning away from the farmhouse trend and moving toward something more timeless, classic, and elevated—with warmth, coziness, and layered design decisions that feel intentional rather than trendy. Her goal? A Southern transitional home that feels polished, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. But like so many women I work with, Rebecca found herself stuck between two styles—unsure what to keep, what to change, and how to move forward without making expensive mistakes. Inside this call, you'll hear how we: • Clarify what Southern transitional really means in real life • Identify which farmhouse pieces can stay—and which ones are holding the room back • Talk through simple ways to elevate a space without starting over • Discuss how layering textures, materials, and color creates a more timeless feel • Create a clear decorating direction so every future decision becomes easier If you've ever wondered what it's actually like to get personalized decorating help, this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how quickly clarity can happen when you have the right guidance. And if you're ready for that kind of clarity in your own home, I've created something special. For the next couple of days, the Spring Room Reset Bundle is available at a special price. Inside the bundle you'll get: • Two Decorating SOS Calls with me • Three months inside The Collective for continued learning and support • My Redecorating Roadmap to help you prioritize projects and spend your decorating budget wisely It's the perfect combination of personalized guidance, design education, and a step-by-step plan so you can finally create a home that feels cohesive, cozy, and unmistakably yours. But the sale is only happening for a few more days.

In this episode of the Samson Strength Coach Collective, we sit down with Nico Scharinger, Coaching Assistant at Florida State University. Nico shares his unique journey from playing soccer in Europe to pursuing a career in strength and conditioning in the United States.Throughout the conversation, Nico discusses the major cultural differences between European and American strength and conditioning systems, and why the collegiate sports model in the U.S. offers opportunities that don't always exist overseas. He explains how discovering the American college sports environment sparked his interest in pursuing strength coaching abroad.Nico also breaks down the realities of the visa and immigration process for international coaches and students, offering insights into how preparation and persistence are key for navigating those challenges. The conversation highlights how embracing change, moving between environments, and continuously learning can shape a successful career in strength and conditioning.Key Takeaways:Nico transitioned from playing soccer in Europe to pursuing strength coaching in the United States.The U.S. collegiate athletics model provides unique opportunities for strength coaches.International coaches must be proactive when navigating visa and immigration processes.Cultural differences between Europe and the U.S. influence training philosophies and opportunities.Adaptability and openness to change are essential traits for long-term coaching success.Quote:“First of all, other sports are growing now. But it wasn't like in the US. I was like, that's just a college—how are there 10,000 people watching this game? A strength coach posted a video about the college experience and I thought, that's really cool. So I searched a little more about it and just got interested in it.” — Nico Scharinger

Dans son billet, Stéphane Ricoul invite à changer de regard sur l'intelligence artificielle. Plutôt que d'y voir une menace, il propose de la considérer comme une occasion de rebâtir une technologie alignée sur nos valeurs. Inspiré notamment par les travaux de Tristan Harris, il évoque la possibilité d'une « abondance artificielle » où l'IA pourrait réduire les coûts de l'éducation, de la santé et faciliter l'accès au savoir.

Kim Gordon—artist, musician, writer, and co-founder of the iconic rock band Sonic Youth—is one of the most restlessly creative figures in American culture. Over the past four decades moved between mediums with an ease that few can achieve. She published her memoir Girl in a Band in 2015 to wide acclaim. Her visual work has been shown at institutions including the Andy Warhol Museum, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, and the Busan Biennale. Her 2024 solo album The Collective, a record built on trap beats and with sharp cultural commentary, earned her two Grammy nominations, a career first. But Gordon was always an artist first. Now, she is the subject of two concurrent exhibitions now open at Amant, the Brooklyn-based arts organization. The first is her solo survey "Count Your Chickens," which brings together painting, ceramics, film, and readymades spanning nearly 20 years of work. The second is "Folded Group," a group show she co-curated with Bill Nace, her collaborator in the experimental guitar duo Body/Head, featuring 19 artists and artist-musicians many of whom, like Gordon, have never accepted the boundary between making art and making music. Her third solo album, Play Me, is out on March 13. In her conversation with senior editor Kate Brown, Gordon discusses her visual practice, her relationship to the art world and the music world, and what these two universes share and where they diverge. She reflects on album art as a curatorial act, on how the internet has transformed what it means to make and disseminate work, and on what it has meant to spend a career resisting every category people tried to put her in.

Feeling overwhelmed by nonstop headlines, collective anxiety, and the wild world of pop culture? In this episode of Culture Changers, I dive into the phenomenon that is The Pitt the cult-favorite HBO medical drama that's suddenly become the most patriotic show on TV (according to a New York Times opinion piece by Frank Bruni). If you're obsessed with medical dramas, hosPittal lore, or just want to know why everyone's talking about nepo baby actors, aging double standards (ahem, Noah Wyle), or the enigma of Nurse Dana's accent, you're in the right place. I break down what sets The Pitt apart, including its gritty, real-time storytelling, behind-the-scenes accuracy with real ER consultants, and its wild Reddit fandom. We'll talk about the show's reflection of America's collective grief, the burnout crisis in healthcare, and why this gritty drama mirrors our chaotic news cycles and cultural divisions better than anything else on TV. I gleefully dissect the fan theories, messier character arcs (is Santos a sociopath or just the ultimate survivor?), and the secret sauce behind why this show is unmissable for culture critics and pop culture junkies alike. No guest today. Just you, me, snarky hot takes, and a big reminder that the stories we obsess over are way deeper than just water cooler gossip.  I talk about: Collective grief reflected in medical dramas Assumptions and embracing human complexity Empathy vs. lack of empathy in healthcare Pop culture's impact on real-world behaviors Nuance in political and social identity Trauma and resilience in modern society Fan culture and community through entertainment Timestamps: 00:00 The Pitt: Season Two Insights 03:31 Realism and Reflection in Drama 07:09 Navigating Grief and Uncertainty 11:51 Dr. Mel: America's favorite Doc 15:59 Light, Funny, and Profound 18:06 The Halo Effect and Trust 21:50 Santos: Polarizing, Resilient, Badass 26:04 Tragedy, Judgment, and Understanding 31:37 The Pitt: Resilience in Crisis 32:49 Resilience, Joy, and Perspectives 38:26 Togetherness and Finding Your Voice —--------------------------------------------------------- Links and Mentions: Watch HBO's The Pitt: https://play.hbomax.com/show/e6e7bad9-d48d-4434-b334-7c651ffc4bdf Frank Bruni's Opinion Piece in the NYT on the Pitt: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/opinion/pitt-america-tv.html Prestige TV's Podcast Episode Breakdown of the Pitt: https://youtu.be/8sB0lR0nKYk?si=nywnnbKi6CfNPk3N To Connect With Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allison__hare LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonhare/ Website: https://allisonhare.com Book a free podcast clarity call with Allison: https://allisonhare.com/freecall Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

Jenny (00:02): I think is actually thought provoking. I've seen some conversation around the idea that there was this intentional move to make white women the face of this administration and to do it in a way that is you're woefully unprepared. You maybe even are intentionally ill prepared to take the fall and that that is not a new dynamic for white men. Rebecca (01:03): She really can't talk. Jenny (01:06): Okay. I'm sorry. We had just talked, so I was not prepared for your voice to sound like that. It sounds great. It sounds great. Yeah. (01:28): I know. I know, but I still wasn't ready. I'm sorry, friend. That sucks. You sound really sorry. (01:53): Yeah. No, I like this, Rebecca. I feel like this is so much about what I've been researching and writing for my book is what I'm calling the anatomy of a missionary and looking at how white women were set up as soft power for imperialism and the gender social role that white women serve abroad. I think we're experiencing now what Emma says calls the boomerang of imperialism. And so the roles that white women have taken on in the global south for 50 years plus, we're now seeing those higher levels of power, but it's not actually ... It is levels of power, but it's mostly levels in proximity to male power that are still above those women. So they're always going to be on the sacrificial block whenever they need to be more than the white males in those positions would be, is what I think. (03:05): I would call it a position of power so long as the performance is enacted to suit power. And I just read this really great article from Carrie Twigg about how Christine Nome essentially got fired because she couldn't perform on TV well. And Trump is looking to continue to build his media empire and use propaganda to get people to continue to stand behind him, and she didn't perform well. And so it is power so long as you don't mess up, but the second that you don't align yourself with the way that power wants you to. So it's a really precarious power, I would say. Rebecca (03:56): See, I would even say, I don't think that's why she got fired. I would say that- And there was no move to find someone that's actually qualified, who had a snowball's chance of performing well on the world stage. So that's why I'm like, I don't think it is as simple as she didn't perform well. She was never going to perform well. And you knew that when you picked her. And so to me, I'm like, what's that choice actually about? It's the same thing now. I heard on the news recently that (05:09): Erica Kirk just got appointed to be the chair of the Air Force. I don't know. Some committee, some task force that has something to do with the running of something to do with the Air Force. And all of my apologies for not getting this particular thing specifically right. But my thing is, what do you know about armed forces? Nothing. It's not like you're a former retired Air Force, whatever. You're not. You know nothing about any of this. So again, you're picking someone from jump, blonde-haired, blue-eyed female who is ill-prepared from the very beginning for this very public face of a very armed forces in the middle of a war and your pick is Erica Kirk. Really? What's that set up about? (06:25): I'm just saying when it goes left and it will, just like what happened with ICE, it's going to take this turn for the worst that you won't actually recover from. Now you have a sacrificial lamb. You can say that somebody lost their job over this and it makes it look like you are doing something to address a grave wrong and you're not. (07:12): And the sad part is that I saw something recently where Stephen Smith, that sports news guy has made this comment about Kamala Harris, like if I hear her say one more time, she told you so. And the thing that I think is interesting is like, you do have these women, in this case, a black woman, who actually has the credentials to weigh in on something in proximity or juxtaposition to these white women who don't have the credentials. And what is that about? Jenny (07:56): Well, again, I think it's part of that world and the role that white women have taken on, where it's this double bind where I would say it is privileged and power, or maybe privileged without the power, but it is still sacrificial and it always will be. And I think of like the qualifications, the men, many of them aren't qualified for the roles that they're taking on, but they're likely not going to be sacrificed in the same way that the women will. And I think part of that structure is the cult of domesticity, that white women represent this demure, trad wife aesthetic. So if you get these purity culture-esque white women up there, it's going to make sense in the psyche of people that have been conditioned in Christian nationalism to see this as innocent and pure and good and not question the impacts that those women are actually having in the decisions and the actions that they're doing. Rebecca (09:14): That makes a lot of sense in the case of Pam Bonding particularly and Danielle's going Epstein, Epstein, Epstein in chat. It's about the third time. Now it's in all caps, right? (09:38): Yeah. I think it makes a lot of sense in the case of Pam Bondi in the role she took on in the Epstein hearing and her just like, "No, I won't turn around and look at these women. No, I will not acknowledge." And if in the American psyche, that face, that voice, that body saying there's nothing to see here is acceptable, then we don't have to have this conversation anymore. Rebecca (10:16): Yeah. And I'm not sure anymore quite what to do with the Epstein files. There's a lot of energy around all of this is a distraction from that. And I have a hard time in my mind trying to figure out what is in it that is so bad that you would start a war so the story doesn't come out. What I can imagine is like, "Yeah, well, that isn't new and it won't surprise anybody." So what is there that I can't imagine if that's even a fair sort of frame for this? (11:08): I think people are getting lost in the binary of it's the Epstein Files or it's something else. I think it's absolutely that in part. And what is happening right now has been a fever dream of the Christian right since at least the 1970s and apocalyptic readings of the Book of Revelation and certain interpretations that have said, "If Israel takes over all of this land, then Jesus is going to come back," was the rhetoric I grew up with. After nine eleven, it was like most exciting that war was breaking out in the Middle East because this meant that we were ushering in the kingdom of God. And so that is not, not part of it, right? When the military gets sent these letters saying that God has ordained Trump and that    Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

295# VibeUp | Collective Emotion, Group Influence & EnvironmentWhen people come together with shared positive intention, something measurable shifts. Research in social psychology shows that collective focus strengthens emotional regulation, increases cooperation, and improves group outcomes. Whether through shared prayer, meditation, activism, or unified effort, aligned intention alters behaviour, mood, and decision-making within a group. When enough individuals direct their attention toward a common constructive goal, the collective atmosphere changes — and that change that vibe can ripple outward in tangible ways. https://www.tiktok.com/@vibe.up32

Over the last several years, many of us have been through a major purge by shedding and letting go of people, places and things. Now that there is open space, the invitation for this week's intuitive message is: what are you going to let in? and how much are you going to let in?The practice as we consider these questions is about discernment: being very thoughtful with how we fill the open space that we worked so hard to create. It will ask that we practice the balance between knowing what rightly deserves to be let in and simply what does not!For more intuitive guidance and support, explore ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Clean Slate Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Big Leap Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Forging a Mexican People: Collective Subjectivities in Postrevolutionary Print Culture, 1917–1968 (University of Arizona Press, 2026) shows how illustrated print culture helped to construct and deconstruct versions of “a people” in postrevolutionary Mexico. Through meticulous research, Dr. Pablo Zavala uncovers the ways photographers, graphic artists, writers, and activists used print culture to challenge hegemonic conceptions of state-guided narratives and forge alternative collective subjectivities. This book offers a fresh perspective on the sociopolitical landscape of postrevolutionary Mexico, revealing how cultural artifacts simultaneously crafted and reflected the people vis-à-vis different political and social categories. By examining print culture, editorial practices, and related processes such as the creation, consumption, and distribution of said culture, Dr. Zavala's research contributes to scholarship that has recently reexamined the construction of nationalism by moving away from the focus on state formation and addressing the horizontal and aesthetic dimensions in products by cultural producers from nonstate and grassroots political sectors. Dr. Zavala examines the conceptual parameters of el pueblo by analyzing El Universal Ilustrado, El Machete, the Taller de Gráfica Popular, the protest graphic art used in Mexico City's 1968 popular student movement, and graphic art used in California's Chicano farmworkers' struggle. Based on in-depth archival research, the work includes primary sources that have never been digitized, offering readers unique insights into the visual manifestations of Mexico's postrevolutionary identity and their enduring significance. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

One of the fastest ways to destroy momentum on your team?Trying to do everything yourself. Many leaders believe they're being decisive, efficient, or helpful when they solve problems alone. But in reality, lone wolf leadership quietly kills buy-in, ownership, and alignment across the team. In Part 4 of the Buy-In Series, Dave Garrison breaks down why leaders unintentionally create silos, and how a simple shift from telling to co-creating solutions unlocks the collective genius of your team. Dave Garrison, author of The Buy-In Advantage, explores the third major blocker that prevents teams from fully committing to company goals: Lone Wolf Leadership. Dave explains why decisions made in isolation often lead to poor execution, wasted effort, and frustrated teams. Even well-intentioned leaders can unknowingly create silos that prevent employees from feeling invested in outcomes. The solution isn't better control, it's co-creation. By clearly defining purpose, outcomes, and success criteria, and then inviting teams to contribute their own thinking, leaders can unlock deeper ownership, better decisions, and true organizational buy-in. What You'll Learn In This Episode: What lone wolf leadership looks like inside organizations Why siloed decision-making destroys alignment and ownership How collective genius produces better outcomes than individual expertise The three elements leaders must provide before delegating Why most delegation fails, and how to fix it A simple framework to co-create solutions with your team   Key Takeaways: ✔️Buy-in requires participation. People support what they help create. ✔️Decisions made in isolation lead to weak execution and low ownership. ✔️True leadership invites collaboration rather than dictating solutions. ✔️Leaders should define purpose, desired outcomes, and success criteria—not the exact method. ✔️When team members propose solutions, great leaders ask questions instead of judging. ✔️Collective thinking produces stronger solutions than any single leader could create alone. ✔️Delegation works best when it becomes a co-creation process, not a command.   Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] – What buy-in really means and why engagement isn't enough [01:45] – Recap of previous buy-in blockers: purpose drift and blind tasks [02:30] – Introducing the third buy-in blocker: lone wolf leadership [03:45] – How siloed decisions destroy alignment across teams [05:15] – The hidden cost of departments solving problems independently [06:50] – Why leaders often feel frustrated when teams don't execute well [08:00] – The family vacation example: why decisions without input fail [09:10] – The power of co-creating solutions with your team [10:20] – How different perspectives create collective genius [11:30] – The leadership framework: purpose, outcomes, and criteria [12:30] – The two questions great leaders ask instead of judging solutions [14:40] – How delegation changes when leaders stop being lone wolves [15:10] – Free team assessment resource and closing thoughts  Connect with Dave Garrison: Book: The Buy-In Advantage Website:GarrisonGrowth.com LinkedIn: Dave Garrison Email: engage@garrisongrowth.com Join the Leadership Sprint: DM “Leadership Sprint” to Dave on LinkedIn for exclusive access Your Challenge This Week: If this episode challenged how you lead your team, share it.

What does it mean to call yourself an artist - and who gets to decide? In this episode, I sit down with multidisciplinary artist, educator, and author Lisa Solomon for a wide-ranging conversation about the blurry line between art and craft, creative experimentation, and the practical realities of building a sustainable creative life. Lisa's work spans embroidery, fiber, painting, and installation, and her new book is an absolute feast for the eyes - organized by color, featuring 20 artists working in 20 different mediums, with projects for all skill levels. We talk about: When you can (and should) start calling yourself an artist The art vs. craft debate - why it's still happening and whether it even matters How Lisa's grandmother's knitting and crocheting shaped her artistic identity The pioneers who were excluded from art history because of their mediums - and why that's finally changing Creative ADHD: how to balance experimentation with actually completing a body of work What to do when you have a vision but not yet the skills to execute it (hint: lean in and trust your gut) The Thousand Doily Project - a massive community collaboration  How parameters and limitations can actually unlock more creative freedom Funding your creative projects, budgeting for big ideas, and why having a day job isn't a compromise - it can be a gift Why color is hard (especially purple) and what a Joni Mitchell retrospective taught Lisa about unexpected palettes Lisa's new book is available at bookstores everywhere - or request it at your local library!

When you get an invitation to be showcased, it feels really good, right? But, sometimes the invitation is followed by one big decision: To gain the exposure, there's an investment. So now what? Is paying for visibility a smart accelerator… or a cash grab that leaves you with little to show for it? In Episode 481 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I walk through the pros and cons of paid media, podcast placements, sponsorship stages, and magazine features. Paying for exposure isn't inherently good or bad. It can absolutely speed up authority positioning and help you gain access to new audiences – but only if it lines up properly with your strategic conversion system. Before you say yes to any "pay to play" opportunity, there are specific filters to consider. I outline the three foundational business factors that determine whether exposure can convert, along with four evaluation metrics that reveal whether the opportunity gives you true access or just surface-level attention.  When it comes to investing in visibility, the goal isn't just more exposure. The goal is visibility that accelerates your goals. If you've ever wondered whether paying for media is worth it, this episode will help you filter emotion from strategy and make a grounded decision based on where you are in your growth trajectory.   Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why paying for visibility is not inherently wrong but can become an expensive test without the right structure. [03:27] The three common paid visibility models: sponsorship stages, pay-to-play media, and podcast placements. [10:40] The first critical factor: Do you have a defined marketing budget to acquire new leads? [11:17] The second factor: Will this opportunity put you in front of aligned buyers, not just general exposure? [12:03] The third factor: Do you have a clear conversion path once attention is captured? [12:50] The four metrics to evaluate before saying yes: alignment, distribution depth, access, and conversion ecosystem. [17:09] What to ask a podcast host before paying for placement. [20:21] Why most visibility fails to monetize and how to fix it. [22:25] When paid visibility makes sense at Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 of business growth. [25:52] Why visibility multiplies what's already in place, not what's missing.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Rising Tide Collective is an online community where experts and leaders come together to co-create visibility opportunities and aligned collaborations that lift everyone up.

Building Healthy Leadership Teams: Strategic Insights from Stacey Bailey of The Intention CollectiveIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Stacey Bailey, Senior Consultant at The Intention Collective, to explore the foundational elements of high-performing organizational culture. Stacey, an expert executive coach, shared how small to medium-sized businesses can move past the friction of "moving goalposts" to establish sustainable growth through clear strategic planning. Their conversation provides a masterclass for founders and executives on how to bridge the gap between visionary thinking and daily execution by fostering deep clarity and robust accountability rituals.Cultivating Operational Excellence Through Clarity and 90-Day RhythmsFor many entrepreneurs, the greatest barrier to scaling is not a lack of vision, but a lack of consistent operational rhythm. Stacey explains that clarity is the cornerstone of a healthy leadership team; without it, ambiguity breeds resentment and stalls momentum. When leaders fail to be explicit about expectations, they inadvertently create "unkind" environments where team members feel set up for failure. By adopting a "clear is kind" philosophy, organizations can eliminate the hidden friction that slows down decision-making and project delivery, allowing the team to move in unison toward a shared objective.A central framework discussed in the episode is the implementation of 90-day planning rhythms. Human attention spans and motivation levels naturally fluctuate, often waning after approximately three months. By breaking down annual visions into quarterly sprints, leaders can maintain high levels of engagement while remaining agile enough to pivot based on real-world data. This structure prevents the common visionary trap of constantly shifting priorities mid-stream, which often leads to team burnout. Instead, a defined 90-day finish line provides the team with a predictable cadence of "doing" and "reflecting," ensuring that progress is documented and celebrated before the next set of goals is established.Ultimately, building a resilient leadership team requires a commitment to "frustration tolerance" and a growth mindset. Stacey uses the metaphor of learning a new craft to describe the leadership journey—it requires patience, a willingness to make visible mistakes, and the discipline to stick with a process until it yields results. Accountability in this context isn't about micromanagement; it is about creating a "system and soul" toolkit where feedback loops and weekly check-ins become the lifeblood of the culture. When leaders model vulnerability and invite honest critique, they build the psychological safety necessary for their teams to innovate and take the calculated risks required for long-term market leadership.About Stacey Bailey: Stacey Bailey is a Senior Consultant and executive coach at The Intention Collective.
