This is a link post. Tl;dr: In this post, I introduce a concept I call surface area for serendipity — the informal, behind-the-scenes work that makes it easier for others to notice, trust, and collaborate with you. In a job market where some EA and animal advocacy roles attract over 1,300 applicants, relying on traditional applications alone is unlikely to land you a role. This post offers a tactical roadmap to the hidden layer of hiring: small, often unpaid but high-leverage actions that build visibility and trust before a job ever opens. The general principle is simple: show up consistently where your future collaborators or employers hang out — and let your strengths be visible. Done well, this increases your chances of being invited, remembered, or hired — long before you ever apply.

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Krause, a seasoned supply chain executive with more than 30 years of experience in procurement, change management, and organizational restructuring. We get under the skin of negotiation strategy and tactics—exploring everything from the difference between planning and action to the essential role of data, preparation, and goal alignment in high-stakes deals. Chris shares his proven rule of thumb for negotiation preparation, his top tactics for gaining leverage, and invaluable advice on handling aggressive negotiation moves. He also tells an illuminating real-world story, highlighting the importance of transparency, open communication, and mutual respect—even when negotiations get tough.  Outline of This Episode [03:23] Chris's top three negotiation tactics. [05:25] Focus on goal alignment before pitching to understand client needs. [07:31] Complex negotiations require goal alignment and multiple rounds to achieve the best outcome. [09:58] Win-win scenarios in negotiations ensure long-term relationships and prevent future conflict. [12:19] Keeping communications and dialogue open. Distinguishing Strategy from Tactics Understanding the foundation of successful negotiation begins with clarity on terms. Chris Krause highlights a crucial distinction: strategy is your overarching plan, crafted before the negotiation starts, while tactics are the actions employed during the negotiation itself. Strategy is about setting your objectives, outlining concessions, and knowing your limits. It includes data gathering, goal setting, and scenario planning. Tactics come into play at the negotiation table—your body language, the way you present your case, and how you respond to offers. Whether negotiating face-to-face, walking side by side, or even over casual conversation, tactics are the tools used to achieve the strategic goals you've set. The Power of Data and Preparation Before any high-stakes meeting, Chris's go-to strategy is to amass as much data as possible—not just about his own position, but about the other party as well. This includes: Market studies: Understanding where the product or service sits within the broader landscape. Internal cost/benefit analysis: Knowing your bottom line and what you can afford. Budget cycles (on both sides): Are you or your partner under financial pressure? Has there been a recent company shakeup or market shift? Armed with this knowledge, negotiators move from a position of power, specifically, the power that comes from knowledge. Chris advocates a “five to one” rule: for each hour of negotiation, spend at least five hours preparing. This encompasses scenario planning, identifying must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, and determining both concessions and firm asks. In his words, "Planning, preparation, and positioning" are the three Ps of negotiation excellence. Top Tactics to Gain Leverage Chris shared his three favorite tactics for gaining leverage in challenging deals: Cost Analysis: Establish a baseline of what the product or service should cost, based on robust data. Competitive Market Analysis: Ensure you understand current market pricing so you can position your offer competitively. Partner Analysis: Dive into your counterpart's fiscal health—knowing if they are under pressure to close deals or expand markets can open the door for favorable terms. He refers to this comprehensive approach as his “trifecta” for negotiation success. The Secret Sauce in Complex Sales One of the most valuable strategies in complex negotiations is what Chris calls “goal alignment.” Rather than rushing into a pitch, engage first in an open conversation to establish what both sides need to achieve. Are they solving a quality issue? Chasing cost savings? Seeking a new technology? Especially for salespeople, Chris warns against focusing solely on your own objectives. Self-centered pitches quickly turn off experienced negotiators. Instead, understanding and aligning with the buyer's business priorities sets the stage for trust and long-term partnership. Countering Aggressive Tactics and Building Trust High-stakes negotiations sometimes involve aggressive tactics—last-minute demands, take-it-or-leave-it offers, or extreme anchoring. Recognizing these moves is part of the game, but Chris emphasizes sticking to your strategy and being prepared for multiple rounds of negotiation. Rarely, he says, is a one-and-done deal the most fruitful. Mutual respect and keeping communication open, even when emotions run high, are vital for coming through tough spots and ultimately reaching an agreement.

Neil shares the challenges faced by ambitious music students, particularly guitar players, who often rush to master specific riffs and tunes without establishing a solid foundation in the fundamentals of music. Drawing from his 26 years of experience, Neil shares insights on the importance of building core techniques and understanding the basics to avoid stagnation in a student's learning journey. He emphasises the necessity of going back to zero to install these essential skills, especially for those who believe they lack talent. KEY TAKEAWAYS Importance of Fundamentals: Many students, especially those with natural talent or ambition, often skip the foundational skills necessary for long-term success in learning an instrument. Building a solid understanding of the basics is crucial for future progress. Common Pitfalls in Learning: Students may rush to master specific riffs or songs without grasping the underlying principles of music, leading to frustration and stagnation in their learning journey. Addressing Misconceptions: It's common for learners to believe they lack talent when they struggle, but the real issue often lies in their inadequate grasp of fundamental techniques and concepts. Need for Rigorous Teaching: Instructors must be firm and diligent in reinforcing the basics, even with experienced players who may feel that revisiting foundational skills is beneath them. This approach is essential for unlocking their full potential. Long-Term Benefits of Solid Foundations: Investing time in establishing strong fundamentals can significantly alter the trajectory of a student's musical career, enabling them to thrive and excel in their playing. BEST MOMENTS "Some students learn more slowly than others, while obviously some learn more quickly. Some of them need tons of guidance right down to a micro level, whilst others are comparatively loose cannons." "In the rush to master this riff or that tune, the student focuses on just that one small thing rather than installing the fundamentals which will underpin everything going forward." "Our own enthusiasm caused us to make the error of skipping the fundamentals, or not even knowing there were fundamentals to be skipped." "Without the fundamentals, without what matters most, everything else is standing on very dodgy ground." "Trying to teach someone new things when they haven't got the basics down is like putting lipstick on a pig; it doesn't make the pig any prettier."

These spots fill up fast so schedule today!Follow me on instagram @westwellnessatx, @thepeptiqueIn this episode, I'm breaking down some of the biggest mistakes people make when getting started with peptides. Honestly, it can feel like the wild west out there—so much info, so many opinions, and not a lot of clarity. I've been in this space for a while now, and I've definitely learned a lot through trial and error. That's why I always tell people: do your research before jumping into any peptide protocol.One of the most important things I've found is that you have to know your goal before choosing a peptide. Are you trying to lose fat? Sleep better? Boost your focus? Having a clear goal makes it so much easier to pick the right peptide and get results that actually match what you're aiming for.I also talk about stacking—what works, what doesn't, and why randomly combining peptides without understanding how they work can totally backfire. I've seen it happen. Dosing is another big one. More isn't always better, and starting too high or too low can lead to disappointment—or side effects.At the end of the day, peptides are powerful tools, but they're not magic. They work best when you've already got your basics dialed in—nutrition, sleep, stress, recovery. This episode is all about helping you lay that foundation so you can actually get the most out of your peptide journey.

Send us a textLiving Out Faith Through Recovery and Avoiding Common PitfallsStep 12 in recovery programs calls us to share the message of recovery with others and practice these principles in every part of our lives. This step is rooted in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands us to spread His teachings and baptize others, assuring us of His constant presence. This scripture highlights the importance of our actions in demonstrating genuine care and commitment to helping others overcome addiction.Instead of boasting about our recovery, we should use our experiences to encourage newcomers and share God's grace and goodness. True recovery involves walking alongside those in need, offering support, and embodying the principles we've learned, ensuring our actions match our words. Programs like the Lifestyle Champion Cohort help us continue this mission, significantly impacting others' lives and finding fulfillment in serving our community. This approach highlights the importance of demonstrating genuine care and encouragement rather than boasting as we share God's grace with those seeking recovery. In this podcast, we explore the five common mistakes people make when pursuing recovery and how to avoid them:Failure to Acknowledge a Problem: Only you can recognize and decide to confront your addiction. Avoid letting others overshadow your realization of the issue.Not Following Your Decision with Action: Don't let the initial decision to recover fade away. Act on your commitment and seek support actively.Allowing Denial to Hold You Back: Educate yourself and seek motivation from those who've succeeded in recovery. Take responsibility and avoid blaming others.Failing to Prepare to Live a Clean & Sober Lifestyle: Celebrate your progress but be cautious. Establish new habits and boundaries to prevent relapse.Becoming Lackadaisical: Continue working on your recovery and remain vigilant.

Show Notes: The Power of Liking for SpeakersWelcome back! In this solo episode, John dives into one of Robert Cialdini's most underrated principles of influence—liking. If you've ever wondered why some speakers seem to get booked again and again, or how you can turn your audience into true fans without changing a word of your keynote, this episode is for you.Introduction: Why Liking MattersJohn kicks things off by sharing why understanding the principle of liking is a game-changer for anyone who wants to get booked, rebooked, or simply make a bigger impact as a speaker. It's not just about what you say on stage—it's about how you connect with people, both on and off the mic.The Science Behind LikingDrawing on Cialdini's research, John explains that we're all more likely to say “yes” to people we genuinely like. He shares his own journey, from starting out with a small audience to building a platform and podcast, all by focusing on curiosity, generosity, and authentic relationships.Real Connections vs. Transactional InteractionsJohn gets real about the difference between building genuine connections and falling into the trap of being transactional. He shares stories from his own experience—how being easy to work with and showing appreciation opened doors to new opportunities, referrals, and collaborations.How to Be More Likeable (and Why It Matters)This chapter is packed with practical advice. John talks about the importance of using audience-relevant language, sharing stories (especially the ones where things didn't go perfectly), and being open about your own quirks and mistakes. He reminds us that being likeable isn't about flattery or people-pleasing—it's about being real, approachable, and easy to work with.Likability Killers to AvoidNot everything is sunshine and roses—John also covers the behaviours that can quickly destroy likability. From being overly self-focused or inauthentic, to lacking emotional presence or coming across as rigid, he explains why these habits can hold you back as a speaker.Authenticity Over PerfectionOne of the big takeaways from this episode is that you don't need to win everyone over. In fact, trying to please everyone is a losing game. Instead, focus on showing up as someone who's trustworthy, warm, and competent. Likability can't make up for a bad talk, but it can turn a good one into something unforgettable.Wrapping Up & What's NextJohn closes the episode by encouraging you to be the speaker people want to work with and invite back.

Navigating the world of relationships can often feel like a chaotic rollercoaster, especially for those transitioning from toxic dynamics to healthier ones. In the latest episode of the podcast, we delve into the common pitfalls that individuals encounter when they first step into a healthy relationship. Brianne Davis-Gantt, our insightful host, sheds light on the journey of self-discovery and emotional growth that accompanies this transition. After years of grappling with love addiction, Brianne has emerged with valuable lessons that she shares openly with her listeners. One of the most striking revelations is the misconception that healthy relationships are boring. For many, the thrill of chaos and dysfunction has been mistaken for passion. When entering a stable and nurturing relationship, the absence of drama can feel unsettling. Brianne highlights this as a significant hurdle, explaining that individuals often find themselves questioning their feelings and second-guessing their partner's intentions. The episode outlines three major pitfalls: anxiety, confusion, and the perception of boredom. Anxiety often arises from the fear of trusting someone new, especially when past experiences have been fraught with turmoil. Confusion follows, as individuals grapple with the unfamiliar territory of open communication and mutual respect. Lastly, the feeling of boredom can be overwhelming, as the brain struggles to adjust to the calmness of a healthy relationship.Brianne encourages listeners to embrace these feelings, reminding them that it's natural to feel anxious or confused when learning to navigate a new dynamic. She likens the experience to being a baby learning to walk, emphasizing that patience and self-compassion are key during this adjustment period. The episode serves as a reminder that while healthy relationships may initially feel dull, they are, in fact, a safe harbor where individuals can grow and thrive together. As listeners tune in, they are invited to reflect on their own relationship patterns and consider how they can foster healthier connections moving forward.If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or feeling overwhelmed, we've compiled a list of resources at secretlifepodcast.com______To share your secret and be a guest on the show email secretlifepodcast@icloud.com_____SECRET LIFE'S TOPICS INCLUDE:addiction recovery, mental health, alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction, love addiction, OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, eating disorders, debt & money issues, anorexia, depression, shoplifting,  molestation, sexual assault, trauma, relationships, self-love, friendships, community, secrets, self-care, courage, freedom, and happiness._____Create and Host Your Podcast with the same host we use - RedCircle_____Get your copy of SECRET LIFE OF A HOLLYWOOD SEX & LOVE ADDICT -- Secret Life Novel or on Amazon______HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE SHOW?Tell Your Friends & Share Online!Follow, Rate & Review: Apple Podcasts | SpotifyFollow & Listen iHeart | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Amazon | PandoraSpread the word via social mediaInstagramTwitterFacebook#SecretLifePodcastDonate - You can also support the show with a one-time or monthly donation via PayPal (make payment to secretlifepodcast@icloud.com) or at our WEBSITE.Connect with Brianne Davis-Gantt (@thebriannedavis)Official WebsiteBrianne's Coaching WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterConnect with Mark Gantt (@markgantt)Main WebsiteDirecting WebsiteMark Gantt Coaching WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secret-life/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
