Hey there, hero!It was October of 1989 when America Online's existence was first promoted in the MacWorld and MacUser magazines that hit the stands (and my mailbox in Washington DC). I went on my morning show on Q107, and told listeners they could send me messages on the service, addressed to screen name David107.That shoutout on the air did two things: first, it caused Jean Villanueva to nearly spit out her coffee as she traveled along the Dulles Toll Road in Virginia - she was on her way to her job as AOL's chief communications officer. Second, it prompted her to call me when I got off the air that morning and ask if I wanted to record the phone messages people would hear when they first called AOL's tech support lines.Thus began my first job doing IVR, and one of the longest client relationships (over 28 years) I've ever enjoyed: over 38,000 prompts (individual messages) recorded over the years.IVR became a huge thing for me, and despite a ton of work in that space, I began almost immediately to notice competition - from computer generated voices. Nothing like the human voice, nothing synthetically realistic, but like AM radio, quality wasn't necessary. It was the information being delivered to the caller that mattered, no matter how mechanical it sounded.So the massive developments in synthetic voices today seem oddly familiar, and it leads me to my warning in this episode of the podcast about the risk to our future as voice talent.The warning might no be what you expect - and might make you smile just a bit.Once you've listened, would you share with me if you agree or disagree? Let me know in the comments below.REQUEST: Please join this video's conversation on VOHeroes, where the comments are moderated and civil.Link to full podcast episode: https://voheroes.com/one-category-of-vo-has-been-under-attack-by-ai-for-decades-and-its-doing-just-fine/#Acting #Voice #VoiceOver #Performance #Productivity #Tips #Art #Commerce #Science #Mindset #Success #Process #Options #BestPractices #MarketingThe VOHeroes Podcast is heroically built with: BuddyBoss (site platform and theme) LearnDash (learning management) DreamHost (website hosting) Screenflow (video recording/editing/production) eCamm Live (Facebook/YouTube Live production tool) Amelia (workout and event scheduling) MemberMouse (membership management) SamCart (ecommerce and affiliate platform) Aweber (email list management) GamiPress (gamification platform) Stackable Premium Blocks (advanced Gutenberg blocks) TextExpander (customer support content management) BuzzSprout (podcast management platform)

This week I start a new series on how to find new customers at business networking events. Word-of-mouth advertising is one of the best ways to build customers. And, if nothing else, it is, by far, the cheapest way to find new customers.So in this series, I start with how to network to increase your sphere of influence. I give you a very simple process that works every single time. Then in the next couple of episodes, I'll show you how to find the best places to network to find new business.If you want to get new customers from business networking events, you might want to adjust your strategy just a little. If you do, like most small businesses, and try to force a “networking opportunity,” you might just be shooting yourself in the foot. However, a networking group or local chamber of commerce can be a great place to find your next big potential client. But only if you (1) spend time building relationships and (2) network with the right people.We are taught to create this word-of-mouth advertising by “going out and networking” within the business community. So we go to business network happy hours or professional networking events. Of course, the unstated goal when we attend these meetings is to meet new people and make new connections so that these people and connections will buy from us. If you think about it, though, why is everyone else attending?Yup, that is correct. They are all their to try to sell or promote themselves to you as well. So a majority of the people in the room came primarily to sell to other people in the room.See the problem?For instance, very few chamber members go to Chamber of Commerce meetings to buy things. The odds seem to be stacked against the attendees from the beginning. So, it is no wonder why most of most leave these networking functions thinking that we just wasted their time.It doesn't have to be that way, though. By making just a few simple changes to your approach, you can become a center of influence in any room. You can generate new opportunities for business growth by making valuable connections with other top professionals. In effect, we can use these meetings as a way to generate significant word-of-mouth advertising.Show Notes: Get Customers from Business Networking Events (https://www.leadersinstitute.com/increase-your-sphere-of-influence-how-to-network/)

By the early 1970s, the global revolutionary tide of socialist and national liberation struggles was at its apex, and the tide was washing over the U.S., with expanding and increasingly militant social movements and political organizations. The beginning of “neoliberalism” was a domestic aspect of the coming global counterrevolution, which devastated the world for decades. This article tells the story of how the right wing of the capitalist class came to drive a new set of reactionary Supreme Court rulings, government policies, and ideological battles against democracy and the basic democratic rights our class won and that the right wing soon started rolling back. A key figure in this anti-democratic turn was Lewis F. Powell Jr., a tobacco company executive turned Supreme Court Justice. In the transition between the two roles, he wrote his infamous “Powell Memo.” In hindsight, the private memorandum Lewis F. Powell Jr. sent to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on August 23, 1971—known as the “Powell Memo”—in many ways represents the inaugural moment in this counteroffensive. Titled, “Attack on American Free Enterprise System,” the Memo clearly expressed the sharpness of the class struggle at that time and encapsulated the capitalist class' fear that they were losing the battles of ideas and the world. It undoubtedly laid the groundwork for some key components of U.S. imperialism's new offensive against the global revolutionary upsurge that characterized the immediate post-World War II environment, an offensive that is still with us today.

To learn more, visit lexipol.com. In this EMS Week episode of Inside EMS, Cohosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson welcome Brian K. Hathaway, president/CEO of Spirit EMS, in Greenville, Ohio, who offers a free EMT training program. Hathaway shares his perspective on how EMS education has changed, and the creative ways Spirit is attracting, engaging and retaining recruits – from 2-year agreements, to giving away a car during training. Together, they discuss: Why Hathaway is the Oprah Winfrey of EMT education How to engage and motivate the workforce What Hathaway is looking for when he evaluates student patient assessments How we deliver education to the newer generation Memorable quotes from this episode “As we educate in the classroom and make sure that people are comfortable and confident in their skills, and we're making sure that we're doing that good head-to-toe assessment on the patients – that that's the ultimate important thing.” “Memorizing 43 things on a skills sheet to make sure that we've touched everything is not necessarily applicable to every patient that we're taking care of.” “My concern is we've got to get people involved and we've got to continue to change with the times or it's going to be a competition when I'm in the nursing home 25-30 years from now as to who's going to get out of bed and respond to the call if we don't do something now.” Additional resources What skills should we test?

Dear Editor, I am writing to explore the topic of Jamaica's identity and heritage, specifically in relation to the Taino people who were the original inhabitants of our land. While acknowledging the presence of East Indians and Chinese who arrived during the era of indentured labor after the abolition of slavery in 1865, the majority of the population, comprising individuals with black or brown skin, is believed to have African ancestry following the eradication of the Arawakan Indians by the Spanish. This sets Jamaica apart from other Spanish-occupied West Indian islands like Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, and Surinam, which retained a small native Indian population despite the Spanish invasion. Read the rest of the letter in the Jamaican Gleaner or The Jacobin Magazine. Also, The Neoliberal Commentary and The Neoliberal Corporation Moral Magazine Journals. https://urbanindianheritagesociety.org/ PETITION ORGANIZED BY URBAN INDIAN HERITAGE SOCIETY (UIHS) FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN INCLUSION ACT. The Urban Indian Heritage Society (UIHS), and members there within, have created this petition to address the grievances of erasure, policide and ethnocidal misconduct of the United States Government against the Misclassified American Indian. The same body of people are hereby demanding reclassification of ethnic birthrights, removal or vacating of Federal and State occupied American Indian lands, return of assets, restitution, punitive damages, and institutional reform. Egregious acts were perpetrated against misclassified American Indians by the United States Government. The fore-mentioned American Indian is hereby demanding immediate remedy for their descendants and their assets. These demands are hereby listed: Reclassification Discovery, access, and redress to all known tribal records that provide direct distinction of the misclassified American Indian that are in possession of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Archives, Department of Housing, United States Department of Defense, and the United States Department of Commerce.  etc. Removal / Return Special Committee appointed by the UIHS to create report of land removed through exile, taxation, internal displacement, imminent domain, or other methods that displaced the American Indian. Removal of taxation on federal/state/municipal/property/sales tax of land and dissolution of mandate on income tax divestment for the Misclassified American Indian.  etc. Resolve Immediate repeal of HR 4238 (2015); 114th Congress in which direct violation of ADRIP (American Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) was committed and speaks to the sanctioned removal of the American Indian and Negro and replacing the ethnicities with African American and Native American, or Alaskan Native. The American Indian was reclassified to Negro per the 1830 Indian Removal Act. Within HR 4238, Negro has now been changed to African American etc. Restitution Immediate Creation of Public Misclassified American Indian Trust for allocation of restitution funds. etc. See Petition.

“Le paiement transparent est un principe ultra fort dans l'expérience client. C'est le phénomène Uber : on sait combien on va payer avant de commencer sa course. Dans un salon, c'est extrêmement opaque. C'est ce qu'on a voulu casser en créant une tarification simplifiée avec 3 prix uniques.” Laurent Kretz rencontre Marie Piet, DG et associée chez Carli, un salon de coiffure devenu aussi un concept store. Elle nous raconte comment elle a réenchanté l'expérience en salon, pour la rendre plus transparente et faire disparaître les petits irritants. Marie nous explique aussi comment elle a lancé un concept store avec 86 références qui ne se cannibalisent pas entre elles. Pour finir, elle nous partage ses enseignements suite au lancement de la marque de compléments alimentaires Level Up. Dans ce nouvel épisode du Panier, vous trouverez des clés pour : Supprimer les miroirs et le téléphone dans son salon de coiffure pour réduire les irritants [03”45] ; Passer à une tarification plus transparente pour limiter les no show et ne pas transformer ses coiffeurs en vendeurs [10”05] ; Créer une marque forte en personnalisant les moindres détails de son expérience client [21”30] ; Minimiser son nombre de références pour éviter qu'elles ne se cannibalisent entre elles [43”35] ; Faire 120K de CA en un mois avec des compléments alimentaires en misant sur le marketing de l'urgence [44'50] ; Capitaliser sur l'UGC (Contenu Généré par les Utilisateurs) pour faire grandir sa marque [50”40] ; Adopter un marketing indifférencié entre son salon et sa boutique pour que les deux s'auto nourrissent [58”20].
