Some agencies are struggling with outdated operating models, fragile cultures, and softening niches. Others are adapting, rebuilding their businesses around what the market now demands and seeing stronger profitability, deeper client relationships, and renewed momentum.And then there are the superagencies.These businesses come in all shapes and sizes. Some are solo operators performing at the level of larger teams. Others are established agencies scaling rapidly. What they have in common is not size, but a shared set of principles, behaviours, and operating models that consistently drive high performance.In this session, James Osborne breaks down the common threads found across today's highest-performing recruitment businesses and reveals the practical steps agency leaders can take to move towards superagency performance.This is a strategic and highly practical discussion focused on what is actually working in the recruitment market right now.This episode covers:• The common threads shared by high-performing superagencies• What "doing the basics brilliantly" really means in today's market• How AI is being used as a genuine productivity accelerator• Building candidate and client experiences that create long-term loyalty• Consultant-led selling and the shift from vendor to trusted advisor• The operating models and structures that drive sustainable high performance• The cultural foundations that support growth, profitability, and resilienceWho this is for:Recruitment business owners, directors, and leaders who want to build a stronger, more profitable agency that consistently wins market share and attracts top talent.If you're looking to future-proof your business, improve performance, and understand what the best recruitment agencies are doing differently, this is an episode you won't want to miss.—What is TRN?The Recruitment Network is the ultimate support network for recruitment business leaders.

What if your most loyal customers were doing your marketing for you? Taylor Swift doesn't just drop albums — she hides cryptic clues in her nail polish, her jewelry, her lyrics, her social posts, her tour staging. And the fans who find them? They tell everyone. Phyllis Rothschild, CMO of Pete & Gerry's Organics, joins us to unpack what B2B marketers can learn from Taylor Swift's Easter egg playbook — and what it has to do with selling eggs. Together, we dig into why superfans are worth more than mass reach, how to simplify a hopelessly confusing category, and why the best marketing in the world still can't beat getting someone to actually taste the product. About our guest, Phyllis Rothschild Phyllis Rothschild is CMO at Pete & Gerry's Organics, the maker of Pete & Gerry's and Nellie's Free Range eggs. With a career spanning brand and consumer marketing, she brings a rare mix of storytelling instinct and category expertise to one of the most crowded shelves in the grocery store — and has strong opinions about yolk color. What B2B Marketers Can Learn From Taylor Swift's Easter Eggs Make your superfans do the work for you. Maybe 1% of Taylor Swift's listeners hunt for Easter eggs. But those fans amplify everything — they find the clues, post the theories, and bring the rest of the world along. Ian's takeaway: “The smallest number that you can make ecstatic is probably a better way to do it — because those people tell their friends.” Phyllis connects it directly to Pete & Gerry's: “The circle back is the fact that they're doing the work for her — because they all get so engaged and so invested in the story that they then wanna retell it.” Design for the diehard first. The rest will follow. The experience is the marketing. Going to a Taylor Swift concert isn't just about the music — it's euphoric. The friendship bracelets, the staging, the crowd. Phyllis draws the direct line: “That's the kind of feeling you want when someone experiences your brand or your product. You don't want it to just be transactional. You want them to say, ‘The overall experience is what keeps me coming back for more.'” For Pete & Gerry's, that means showing the amber yolk oozing onto the plate — not listing certifications. Make people feel something before you make them think something. One clear claim beats a PhD's worth of education. The egg aisle is a case study in how to confuse a customer into paralysis. Cage-free. Free-range. Pasture-raised. Organic. Farm-fresh. Phyllis is blunt: “You don't wanna have to have a PhD in egg science to make your weekly purchase.” Her approach: pick the one insight that matters and hammer it. “We just need one claim to get people to say ‘free-range means they go outside.' And then that's it.” The lesson for any crowded B2B category: the brand that educates the market doesn't always win. The brand that owns one simple truth does. “Taylor Swift's eras are like campaigns — they're all different, but they all ladder up into the same brand story. You can reinvent yourself, evolve, tap into new tools and mechanisms, but you still need to stay true to who you are as a brand and what got you to where you are.” — Phyllis Rothschild Time Stamps [1:22] Meet Phyllis Rothschild, CMO of Pete & Gerry's Organics [1:45] Why Taylor Swift?

This episode originally aired August 5, 2019. The year was 1984, and a serial killer was on the loose in Florida. Eight women had been found dead.

What happens when journalism stops pretending objectivity is the same thing as truth telling? In this episode, Glen Galaich and co-host Dr. Carmen Rojas take Break Fake Rules to Kansas City for another conversation from Common Thread, the national event series from the Marguerite Casey Foundation bringing people together around the issues shaping working-class life in America. They welcome Faiz Shakir, founder of More Perfect Union, the Emmy Award-winning nonprofit newsroom redefining what news can look like when it actually centers working-class people. Together, they explore how More Perfect Union's reporting has become a powerful tool for policy change and corporate accountability.The conversation takes on one of the media's biggest fake rules: the myth of objectivity. Faiz makes the case for an honest form of advocacy journalism, one that stays grounded in facts while refusing to hide its investment in the lives of working people. As Glen, Carmen, and Faiz talk through the stories that much mainstream media still fails to tell, a bigger idea comes into focus: journalism can do more than describe a rigged economy. It can help people understand the forces shaping their lives, see themselves as actors in that story, and build power to change it.

In this episode, Raelan Agle shares what she's learned from thousands of hours of interviews with chronic symptom experts and people around the world who have made full recoveries. Together, she and Christie examine why mindbody approaches to healing are so often a last resort — and what needs to change to make them a mainstay of chronic pain care. For anyone still searching for answers, this conversation offers both a clearer map and a reason to keep going.

The child protection justification is described as cover for big tech's real goal: ending anonymity to monetize verified identity data. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:18:04] WHO, Gates Foundation, and Pfizer-Tied Singapore Firm Rolling Out Global Vaccine Passports The WHO is partnering with a Singapore government firm that invested $250 million in BioNTech and the Gates Foundation to roll out "interoperable digital health wallets" — the ID2020 and IA2030 agenda now moving into live implementation as a global movement control infrastructure. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:29:04] Trump Puts His Signature on Dollar Bills and Face on Gold Coins — First Sitting President Ever Trump is placing his signature on all future Federal Reserve notes beginning June 2026 and minting a dollar coin bearing his face — the first sitting president in US history to do either, timed to the 250th anniversary of a republic he is described as actively dismantling. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:41:18] Trump Campaigned on Killing FISA — Now Backing Full Section 702 Reauthorization Despite running on an all-caps "Kill FISA" platform in 2024 and calling it illegally weaponized against him, Trump is now backing full reauthorization of Section 702 warrantless surveillance — described as simply wanting to be the one wielding the weapon rather than opposing the weapon itself. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:49:19] Trump Pardoned Nursing Home Fraudster Who Paid $1M in Lobbying — Abuse Victims Got Nothing Trump granted a full pardon to a rabbi-owned nursing home operator convicted of a $39 million payroll tax scheme who served only three months. Patients were found with maggots in open wounds. Families are owed $19 million in court-awarded damages they have never collected. ──────────────────────────────────────── [00:53:45] Common Thread in Trump's Pardons: Crooked Rabbis — One Made US Ambassador to Hungary A pattern across Trump's clemency decisions shows multiple pardoned criminals are rabbis or Orthodox-connected, with one Medicare fraudster who stole $31 million pardoned and then appointed US Ambassador to Hungary — mirroring Jared Kushner's convicted felon father being made Ambassador to France. ──────────────────────────────────────── [01:09:39] Lindsey Graham at Disney World with Fairy Wand While Pushing for Ground Troops in Iran While urging Trump to send American children to die in Iran, Graham was photographed at Disney World holding a bubble wand.

Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio for the full hour to talk about the often-overlooked common thread that exists between Nazism and Socialism and Communism. Hugh argues that both ideologies share a common thread - collectivism, where the collective takes precedence over individual rights. He delves into the history of communism and fascism, highlighting the devastating consequences of these ideologies, including the millions of lives lost under communist regimes. Hugh also explores how the left has manipulated history and language to downplay the dangers of communism, making it seem like a more palatable alternative to fascism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're diving into the spooky vibes of "Viy," the OG Soviet horror flick, with our buddy Gavin Mevius from the Mixed Reviews and Q Division pods. This movie's got all the supernatural shenanigans you'd expect, plus some twists that'll leave your jaw on the floor.

What happens when philanthropy treats this moment like a true crisis and local organizers refuse to let cruelty become normal?In this episode, Glen Galaich is joined by co-host Dr. Carmen Rojas, President and CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation, for a conversation filmed at the first of a series of events called Common Thread, a new initiative designed to bring people together through conversation, culture, and connection. Glen and Carmen talk about how people can get involved and attend future Common Thread events this year, then turn to the urgent realities of immigrant rights and due process as communities confront detention, deportation, and government overreach.Carmen reflects on using her LinkedIn community and platform to humanize the lives affected by disappearances and deportations. She also challenges some of philanthropy's most entrenched assumptions, including the idea that institutions must hold tightly to wealth even in moments they themselves call a crisis.Then local organizer, Nikki Marín Baena, co-founder and co-director of Siembra NC, joins the conversation to talk about who pays when philanthropy plays it safe on immigrant rights. Nikki shares what organizing for immigrant rights looks like on the ground in North Carolina. From helping neighbors connect, making communities safer, supporting Know Your Rights efforts, building Fourth Amendment workplace trainings, and responding to immigration operations that reshape daily life for workers and families. Together, Nikki, Glen and Carmen uncover the fake rules forming around immigration and mass deportation in America, and call on philanthropy to embrace risk in support of the people doing this work.

In the 1920s cigarettes were dubbed "coffin nails." Forty-plus years later we got a government warning about their harms. Something disturbingly similar is taking place with our phones and AI. Always more at dimitrigats.com

In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Michael Ferranti, a veteran of developer tools and cloud-native infrastructure with over a decade of experience at companies like PortWorks, Teleport, and Unleash. Michael shares insights on feature management, the critical role of feature flags in modern software delivery, and how to effectively market to developers. The conversation explores why "friends don't let friends build their own feature flag system," the evolving landscape of product-led growth, and how AI is reshaping go-to-market strategies for developer tools.Key Takeaways[5:27] - The Common Thread in Category Creation[7:17] - What is Feature Management?[11:56] - The Cost of Downtime[18:28] - The Race Car Analogy[19:59] - Marketing to Developers[24:18] - User vs. Buyer[30:30] - Easy to Try is Essential[35:30] - Organic Search is Declining[36:29] - AIO (AI Optimization)[40:26] - The PLG Myth[44:17] - The AI ShiftTweetable Quotes"The thing that makes product development and success in SaaS really easy is when you have a product that solves real problems in a market that's big enough.""Friends don't let friends build their own feature flag system. You're not writing your own version of Git—feature management is no different.""Feature flags are like brakes on a race car. They don't slow you down—they let you go faster by allowing you to take turns safely and accelerate out of them.""Marketing to developers is no more complicated than marketing to dentists. People are people—they respond to emotion, logic, and pain.""The biggest objection to feature flags is that people think it's gonna slow them down, when in fact it's all about speeding them up.""If you're doing go-to-market the same way you were doing it 12 months ago, you're probably doing it wrong. Now it's six months. Now it's three months."SaaS Leadership Lessons1. Market Size Trumps Perfect Execution Even with the best product and conversion rates, growth will plateau if your addressable market isn't large enough. Evaluate market size as rigorously as you evaluate product-market fit.2. Speed Requires Safety Mechanisms The fastest-moving teams aren't reckless—they've invested in systems (like feature flags) that allow them to ship confidently and recover instantly. Build your "brakes" before you try to accelerate.3. Know Your User vs. Your Buyer Developer tools require a dual strategy: serve the hands-on-keyboard users who will love (or hate) your product, while convincing budget holders of business value. Neglect either and you'll struggle.4. Friction is the Enemy of Adoption In developer tools, the ability to try your product without a sales conversation isn't optional—it's existential. Whether through open source, free trials, or freemium models, eliminate barriers to first value.5. Proprietary Data is Your AI Moat As AI reshapes discovery, the companies that win will be those with unique data sources that LLMs cite as authoritative. Think "Zillow for home prices" in your category.6. Adaptability is the New Competitive Advantage The pace of change has accelerated to the point where strategies have a 3-6 month shelf life.

Byrne Unscripted with Martha Byrne – When news broke that Today Show host Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, Nancy, had been kidnapped from her home in Arizona in the middle of the night, it sent a shockwave across the nation. Violent crimes occur in the US every day, many of them never receiving national media attention. That same week, the nation mourned the loss of Catherine O'Hara...

Protest movements have been part of American history since before the United States was founded. In this episode, we hear from historians Ashley Howard, Amy Rutenberg and Daniel K. Williams about three different and powerful protest movements in U.S. history — the civil rights movement, anti-war movement during the Vietnam War and the anti-abortion movement. We'll also talk about the strengths, weaknesses, successes and failures of these movements.

OK Kids, here's another classic Common Threads that was misplaced ages ago and is now available. The Kaufman Interfaith Institute (of which Interfaith Dialogue Association is an affiliate) holds conferences each year. In 2009 we hosted 3 thought leaders from the Abrahamic traditions to discuss the challenge of modernity and religion. We decided to interview James Carroll, a noted Catholic influencer (in '09 we did not even know that was a word, but that's what he was). As with most, if not all, of these archived episodes, the relevance of the conversation holds up against time. Theme music "Nigal."

(Note: Sorry for some unavoidable sound issues later on this ep!)Tom is joined by guest host Larissa Baldwin-Roberts, from Common Threads and former CEO of GetUp! First up, the new hate speech laws have passed (13:16). How bad are they? What did we gain in exchange for giving up some essential rights? Next up, Invasion Day 2026 (43:59).

Another one from the newly discovered batch of old recordings. I'm assuming this is from 2009 as most of them are. This 2-parter is a conversation with Daniel Hyde, a pastor in the United Reformed Church. We invited him to discuss his book on Christian images "In Living Color," but also delved into the Calvinist movement within Protestantism. You see, Common Threads is produced in Grand Rapids, Michigan. And this part of the state is an epicenter of Calvinism (also known as Reformed Theology). I think these episodes are the most in-depth dive we've taken on this show. Sorry it's taken so long to get online. Theme music "Nigal."

In part two of this conversation, Dr. Arun Seraphin is joined again by HON. David Berteau to examine how Defense Acquisition and Acquisition Reform in the Defense Industry evolved after the end of the Cold War. Berteau reflects on why Defense Acquisition Reform has remained a persistent challenge and highlights the need for a balanced approach that weighs both mission success and financial outcomes across the Defense Industry.The conversation explores how Defense Acquisition challenges unfolded over time, beginning with post–Cold War budget drawdowns that accelerated consolidation within the Defense Industry. It then examines the 1990s rise of commercial technology, driven in part by new legislation such as the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) and the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).David and Arun connect these Acquisition Reform efforts of the 1990s to today's challenges by discussing how the Defense Industry can integrate commercial technology at speed, better align requirements with budgets and programs, and navigate Congress's evolving role in Defense Acquisition. The discussion offers insight into what effective Defense Acquisition Reform could look like today amid near-peer competition and rapid technological change.Be sure to follow us on social media for updates, early access to upcoming events, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8And for more podcasts, articles, & publications all things emerging tech, check out our website at: https://bit.ly/47oA5K1#EmergingTech #EmergingTechETI #DefenseAcquisition #AcquisitionReform #FARA #FASA 

Here we go again! As mentioned recently, I discovered a trove of old recordings on CD and cassette tape that I was not aware of. So now I'm posting these here. These episodes of Common Threads originally aired in 2007. They have to do with the very "Jewishness" of Jesus. The book in question is "The Halakhah of Jesus of Nazareth According to the Gospel According to St. Matthew." Scholars agree that it is the most Jewish of all the Gospels. It was written by Rabbi Phillip Sigal, who held the distinction of being a rabbi with an advanced degree in New Testament studies. Since he died prior to the release of this 2007 version of the book we discuss its contents with 3 people who know this material well: Lillian Sigal (Phillip's widow and scholar in her own right), Rabbi Simcha Prombaum and interfaith academic Leonard Swidler. Yes, a cassette from almost 20 years ago might not sound as crisp as we'd like, but we think it's still quite a good listen. By the way, Lillian Sigal is a co-founder of Interfaith Dialogue Association and still a dear friend. Theme music "Nigal."

Join Dr. Arun Seraphin and David Berteau for a conversation exploring the common threads across major defense acquisition reform efforts since the 1980s. Drawing on decades of experience in both the public and private sectors, David offers a historical perspective on how shifting geopolitical threats have driven repeated efforts to reform the Department of Defense's acquisition system.The discussion centers on the Carlucci Initiatives, which was a set of recommendations aimed at reducing costs, shortening acquisition timelines, and improving industry-DoD collaboration. Arun and David compare these initiatives with other major reform efforts, including the Packard Commission and the Goldwater-Nichols Act. David also reflects on his time as Executive Secretary of the Packard Commission, sharing firsthand insights into the challenges that led to its formation and the impact of its recommendations.Be sure to follow us on social media for updates, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8And for more podcasts, articles, & publications all things emerging tech, check out our website at: https://bit.ly/47oA5K1

It's our final AfterWord of 2025! This week, we wrap up our series, The Common Thread, by looking at the Minor Prophets. What struck you this week? What was surprising about our look at these books? What will stick with you about tracing the thread of Jesus in the Old Testament?What is God like according to the Minor Prophets?

Our final week in the Old Testament brings us to the Minor Prophets.These twelve books speak against the rebellion of God's people, yet they also reveal God's heart to draw His people back to Himself.

Jose from MakeWar joins us in a proper London boozer to talk barrier-free stages, why small rooms hit harder, and how the Fat→Hopeless move (and debt wipe) landed for bands.

0:00 - Do your best Marc Moser impression, people. IT'S THE NBAAAaaAAaaAAAAAaa. The Nuggets completely blew it to the Bulls last night. At home! That ruins our city's spotless home winning record. How much are we freaking out about this? Is it a bad loss? Or is it just one of those games that happens in an 82-game season?16:12 - Heading into the bye week, the Broncos are 9-2. They have the best record in the NFL. They've won 8 in a row. So...are we now prepared to say the Broncos are legit Super Bowl contenders? Why or why not?33:41 - What do all 3 Nuggets losses have in common? 

In the Major Prophets, God speaks with authority about His character, His judgment, and His plans for redemption.From Isaiah to Daniel, we see God's longing for His people to turn from sin, and each book points forward to the coming Messiah who will ultimately deliver His people.

Jennifer Principe is a stylist, author, speaker, and founder whose work blends fashion, faith, and emotional healing. After spending 14 years as a celebrity wardrobe stylist, she felt called to create something more meaningful — a space where style becomes a pathway back to confidence, dignity, and self-worth. She is the author of A Common Thread, a spiritually rooted memoir that explores clothing as a tool for inner transformation, and the founder of The Phoenix Effect, a nonprofit offering full styling, hair, makeup, and photography experiences for individuals facing life-debilitating illnesses. Her work has been featured on KTLA, BBC, Inside Edition, and across major outlets for its impact and heart.Before you listen to this episode, I want to share something with you: finding your purpose rarely appears as a straight, clear path. Sometimes it unfolds slowly, in detours and seasons we don't fully understand at the time. When Jennifer told me she worked thirty different jobs before realizing what she was meant to do, it struck me in the best possible way. It's a reminder that the things we're drawn to — the small nudges, the recurring interests, the quiet whispers — aren't random. They're direction. In this conversation, Jennifer opens up about her journey from a difficult childhood to a thriving styling career, and how she ultimately discovered the deeper calling beneath it.Jennifer shares the moment she first learned about “enclothed cognition,” the idea that what we wear can shift how we feel and how we move through the world. It's something she intuitively understood as a little girl seeking peace and play in the back of her grandmother's gift shop. And then there's the moment that changed everything: she's out on a run, overwhelmed by life transitions, when she feels an unmistakable inner pull telling her to stop and give her gift away. She listens. She makes one phone call from the side of the road. That call becomes the beginning of The Phoenix Effect, a nonprofit that has helped countless individuals see themselves again with warmth, strength, and hope.Today, Jennifer has stepped away from her 14-year styling career to fully embrace this mission. When I asked her about fear, she told me she's more afraid of never reaching her full potential than she is of stumbling along the way. There's something incredibly grounding about that. Her book, A Common Thread, captures her journey beautifully — blending storytelling, faith, healing, and practical tools to help you reconnect with who you are at your core. If you've been waiting for a sign, waiting for clarity, waiting to feel ready… let this episode be the moment that encourages your next step.

God intentionally created us as emotional beings.From Job to Song of Solomon, the wisdom books of the Old Testament give voice to those emotions and show us how to bring our whole selves to God. 

The History books of the Old Testament continue to reveal that something is missing for God's people—something only Jesus can fulfill.Through the stories of promised lands and imperfect leaders, we see the ache for a greater King and a true place of rest. Every victory, failure, and longing points us to Jesus—the one who fully satisfies.
