In this episode, we spoke to bestselling author Ruth Ware about one of her latest releases, Zero Days. Ruth's novels have been translated into over 40 languages as well as optioned for film and TV, and she has garnered numerous bestsellers internationally. Zero Days is a tech-based, fast-paced thriller wherein the protagonist finds that there is nowhere to hide, and enemies are everywhere. We are very excited for everyone to read Ruth's latest! We discussed Ruth's journey to becoming a full-time writer, how she develops the plots for her thrillers, what her writing process looks like, the difference between a "twist" and a "reveal" in storytelling, and, of course, her latest, Zero Days. Ruth also offered some great advice for aspiring thriller authors, and provided us with an amazing reading list of mysteries and thrillers – from old classics to brand new hits.

I read an article yesterday about the fourth season of the tv series, Ted Lasso, coming out. The series was celebrated for bringing the concept of positivity to the forefront. But in this new season they feel positivity isn't what the culture needs. They depict the populace this way: "People are fine. Not hopeful, not despairing — just fine." So the new season is focused on hope. And I agree. We seem to be losing hope in anything more than just…existing. So when a celebrated author comes out with a book about his research on what “thriving” looks like, I was interested. Daniel Coyle is the New York Times bestselling author known for The Culture Code, The Talent Code, The Secret Race, The Little Book of Talent, and Hardball: A Season in the Projects, which was made into a movie starring Keanu Reeves. But after writing about talent and performance, Dan cites he began wondering about the deeper parts of life. The result is his new book, Flourish: The Art of Building Meaning, Joy, and Fulfillment. And he boils down to…community. Interdependence, which I don't think many of us understand. I'm not going to try and explain it here, but invite you to listen to the following 55 minutes of discussing a different kind of community experience than I bet you've ever fully conceptualized. I feel I got schooled, in a great way, by the message in Dan's book, and the following conversation. I have myself looking at relationships and community in a new way, and I'm inspiring myself. I think you will too. Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial. Learn more about your ad choices.

How do you refresh your signature program so it feels new and compelling, instead of starting from scratch every launch? Today, Jill outlines six practical strategies: adding a timely theme, building in accountability or gamification, bringing in guest speakers or hosting roundtable hot seats, offering live meetups or unstructured Zoom accountability sessions, introducing VIP or higher-priced tiers for more one-on-one access, and launching a challenge within the program to drive fast, concentrated action. But most importantly, any new addition to a signature offer only works if you talk about it consistently and explain why you added it. That's what makes an audience excited rather than indifferent.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Dan Wiederer and guest host Ruthie Polinsky of CHSN discuss what aspects of Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' development they are most intrigued by heading into the 2026 season.

He didn't just popularize the video sales letter. He invented it. The format that now generates over $14 billion a year in revenue, that was Jon Benson. But the thing he's most obsessed with has nothing to do with tactics. It's this: you never have to lie in your copy. You just have to be brave enough to tell the entire truth. Jon Benson is a copywriter, AI pioneer, and the inventor of the Video Sales Letter. In this conversation, he and George unpack what it actually means to write from your values, why compelling always beats convincing, how to use AI without losing your human voice, and why the businesses that last are the ones built on genuine connection, not persuasion tricks. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why selling to everyone is a scarcity mindset and what to do instead The difference between compelling and convincing (and why one is manipulation) How to turn any feature into a benefit with two words: "so you can" Why your values, embedded in your copy, attract the exact buyers you want How Jon uses AI to write copy that sounds exactly like him, on his best day The human element Jon insists on inside every AI-powered product he builds What the rise of AI is actually doing to buyer demand for connection The free tool Jon built to help you find your buyer profile and value language Key Takeaways: ✔️If you have to convince someone, you're manipulating them. If you compel them, you're leveraging what they already hold to be true. One builds trust. One erodes it. ✔️Selling to everyone means resonating with no one. Narrow your avatar to one person, their values will seep into your copy naturally. ✔️The "so you can" formula: add it to any feature and your brain has to complete the benefit. That's where emotion lives. ✔️Values embedded in copy aren't obvious to the reader, they're felt. The right person can't explain why your copy speaks to them. They just know it does. ✔️AI gives you leverage, but it gives back exactly the quality of knowledge you put in. You still have to know what good copy feels like to direct it. ✔️The human component isn't optional. Jon does live coaching every Friday with Benson members because without it, a tool is just a tool. ✔️As AI automates more, buyer demand for genuine human connection increases. Buying cycles are getting longer, relationship is the difference. ✔️The telltale signs of bad AI copy: em dashes everywhere, three rhetorical questions in a row, and no tension. Learn to spot them. Then fix them. Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — The man who invented the VSL and the copy philosophy behind it [01:20] — Welcome: decades at the forefront of copy, marketing, and now AI [03:52] — Why this AI moment is not a phase and what it means for your business [07:00] — Compelling vs. convincing: the distinction that changes everything [08:00] — Writing to one person: how Agora does it and why it works [12:35] — Values in copy: how they attract ideal buyers without being obvious [14:00] — The "so you can" framework: turning features into emotional benefits [18:00] — Copy audit: the questions to ask before anything goes live [30:00] — Why Jon still writes manually despite building the best AI copy tool [39:00] — AI and knowledge: why what you put in determines what you get out [42:00] — Humanized AI and why live coaching is non-negotiable inside BNSN [46:00] — Buying cycles are expanding and human connection is why [52:00] — How Jon trained his AI clone Isaac on 20 years of his own emails [58:00] — Em dashes, rhetorical questions, and the telltale signs of bad AI copy [1:02:00] — Free buyer profile tool and where to find Jon [1:04:00] — George's closing: communication is a required life skill, keep the muscle sharp Connect with Jon Benson: Jon Benson is the inventor of the Video Sales Letter, a copywriter, entrepreneur, and AI pioneer.

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to for a conversation around how he is navigating this low pricing, low sentiment, low news, and low volume Summer Doldrums period in his portfolio.   This includes how he is approaching advanced developers versus earlier stage developers, and the spectrum of different gold and silver exploration companies.   We start off discussing the overall sector sentiment is mirroring the bearish metals and miners pricing backdrop.  This is also evidenced in the very low volume levels in trading the last couple months from the large producers and sector ETFs all the way down to the junior PM stocks.  There has not been nearly as much newsflow as anticipated across the space, where some companies have either sat on some news or scaled down their anticipated work programs.   Erik discusses how he is still animated by companies that have work catalysts that can impact their valuations and create alpha in the sector, and prefers those over more mature companies that have work programs that may only move the needle incrementally, and get stuck moving with sector beta and metals price direction.     * In full disclosure, some companies mentioned by Erik in this interview, are positions held in his personal portfolio, and also may be site sponsors of The Hedgeless Horseman website at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow Erik's analysis over at The Hedgeless Horseman website    For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

"If all you're trying to do is inform, you're not going to pull it off. You have to entertain your audience."Great presentations don't just share information—they create connection. As Apple's former Chief Evangelist and Canva's co-founder, Guy Kawasaki has spent decades helping people communicate ideas that inspire action. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Kawasaki joins Matt Abrahams to share practical strategies for crafting compelling presentations, building better slide decks, and using storytelling to keep audiences engaged. From investor pitches to keynote speeches, he explains why the best communicators don't just inform—they captivate.Key Takeaways:Pitch to keep the conversation going. The goal of a pitch isn't to close the deal—it's to earn the next conversation.Keep it simple and audience-focused. Engage people with clear stories, concise visuals, and a message built around what they care about.Activity:Choose an idea, project, or product you frequently explain. Challenge yourself to describe it in 30 seconds, focusing only on the problem you solve and why it matters to your audience. Then ask someone if they can clearly explain it back to you. Revise your pitch until they can.Episode Reference Links:Guy KawasakiGuy's Book: Think RemarkableEp.82 It's Not About You: Why Effective Communicators Put Others FirstEp.47 Quick Thinks: How to Use Storytelling to Be a Better FounderConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:29) - Being a Great Evangelist (02:51) - Why Stories Move People (04:15) - Entertain Before You Inform (06:36) - The Goal of a Pitch (09:56) - Evolve Every Pitch (12:42) - The 10-20-30 Rule (15:57) - Better Slides, Better Presentations (16:39) - Lessons from Podcasting (18:09) - The Final Three Questions (22:20) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Most Work Platforms Help People Communicate.  Some help you organize, but Zoom turns conversations into outcomes.

There's a moment I see again and again: a creative starts talking about their work, and they simply light up, the passion pours out, and the person listening is quietly won over without a single thing being pitched. And then that same person looks you up online, and somehow all that warmth has gone a little quiet. The lovely part is that this is one of the best problems to have, because the very thing that draws people in when you talk is already yours, it just needs a way onto the page. And this week, I'll help you find it. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER: ◼️ The moment, over dinner or on a call, when you quietly win someone over, without pitching a single thing ◼️ Why the warm, 'alive you' so often goes quiet the moment it reaches your website and what's really happening when it does ◼️ The reason your personality isn't a nice extra sitting on top of your marketing, but one of the most distinctive things you have ◼️ What it does for the right person when they experience the same 'you' at every step: the post, the profile, the page, the call ◼️ The small, easy thing to try this week: Far gentler than the 'careful writing' you've probably been making yourself do RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Bright Line: Application This week's Blog Post Subscribe: Weekly newsletter Website: www.philippacraddock.com Instagram: @philippacraddock Email: hello@philippacraddock.com  SHARE YOUR INSIGHTS: Where do you feel the real you has gone a little quiet, your website, your Instagram, your emails?

It's where you'll find my behind-the-scenes thinking, where I share the tools I'm currently trying/using, where new resources are shared first and where the conversations happen that often form future episodes. I'd love you to join the many creative business owners already benefitting and joining the conversations.

Pastor White continues the series in Kings, teaching on “The Compelling Paradox of the Humble Ruler” from 1 Kings 12:1-24.

In this episode, Josh, Curt, Spencer, and Sean discuss the ways the local church exemplifies the reality of the gospel. The local church is one of the primary means of grace the Spirit uses to conform Christians into the likeness of Jesus, and this episode fleshes out all the ways that happens in the life of the body.

Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!In this episode, Ann Garvin (who will release her 7th novel, Tell Two Friends, in September 2026 with Lake Union) discloses the often messy, unglamorous truth of how a story actually starts. For her, that's usually as some tiny thing Ann can't stop thinking about, long before it has a plot or even characters attached to it. We talk about how to take that one nagging "kernel" of fascination and slowly build a book around it, and why your characters' flaws are usually what make readers care. Ann also walks through a deceptively useful trick for getting unstuck: asking, "What's the worst possible thing that could happen to this character right now?" (and then doing that to them).Whether you write memoir, self-help, or fiction, this conversation is really about the same question every writer eventually has to answer: What am I actually fascinated by, and am I brave enough to explore it further? No matter how you're published or what genre you're writing, the part about having to sit down and write the damn book is the same for everyone!

Most listeners give a communicator a mere 30 seconds to set a message direction for their storyline. How can you quickly set the hook? Today's podcast focuses on strategies to frame a message quickly to keep the listener involved and engaged. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton, and Hurst Williamson, author and Head of Sales and Executive Coach at Sally Williamson & Associates. Their conversation addresses the art and science of storytelling, its place in business communications, and how to begin mastering the skill of storytelling.    Episode Insights Include: Storytelling as a critical leadership skill Storytelling is the best way to make sure someone can repeat back to you your own message. There are two key parts to storytelling that make a story stick.  Content and style both matter in your message.  People will form 11 impressions of you in 7 seconds.  A listener can't separate your content and your style.    Common communication mistakes Just because you said it, doesn't mean they heard it.  A truly important message should not only be said once.  Authenticity in communication is essential.  You cannot talk your way around authenticity with your listeners.  You're not communicating until the listener understands.    Starting with context Why does your solve make sense?  If a listener doesn't understand why a conversation is happening, they can't hear why you are offering solutions.  Setting the stage is essential to a successful conversation.  Flexible frameworks are ideal, rigid scripts simply don't work.  Questions shouldn't trip you up no matter which slide you're on.    Building connection through communication Authenticty allows a leader to bridge challenging gaps.  Hard conversations can be made easier with connection.  There has to be a balance between empathy and business stragety.  Communication will help you get an an unhappy listener to a place of understanding.  Empathy and a clear message are key points of communication.    Mastering the Q & A session  Q & A is the most important part of your message because it's the last thing the listener hears.  You can establish yourself as a thought leader in the Q & A.  Take ownership of each question and decide which parts of it you're going to answer.  Your responses in a Q & A is critical to your credibility.    Simple first steps Consider your intention behind being an effective storyteller.  Your intent will make an impact every time. Ask for feedback and whether your listeners actually understand you.    This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources   Connect with Cameron Burford – Cameron Burford   Get in touch – info@fccsconsulting.com   "Storytelling is the best way to make sure someone can repeat back to you your own message." — Hurst Williamson   "Communication is a lifelong journey." — Hurst Williamson   "Communication allows a listener to understand the thinking behind it." — Hurst Williamson   "These are the moments when you can build the most trust with your listeners." — Hurst Williamson   "Your intent will make an impact every time." — Hurst Williamson

The New York Knicks are NBA champions for the first time in 53 years! On this episode of Hoopsology In The Lab, Matt Thomas, Justin Goodrum, and Allan Muenzler break down one of the most memorable NBA Finals in recent history as the Knicks defeat Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. The crew discusses why the Knicks' championship run was so compelling, how Jalen Brunson became one of the NBA's biggest stars, and whether New York has the foundation to become the next NBA dynasty. We analyze:

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Prayer is the way we work our way out of the comfortable but cramped world of self, and into the spacious world of God.”~Eugene Peterson (1932-2018), American pastor, scholar, author “Our aim in studying the Godhead must be to know God himself better. Our concern must be to enlarge our acquaintance, not simply with the doctrine of God's attributes, but with the living God whose attributes they are.” “Knowing God is more than knowing about him; it is a matter of dealing with him as he opens up to you, and being dealt with by him as he takes knowledge of you.”~J.I. Packer (1929-2020), a British-born Canadian writer, professor “God doesn't want me to play with religion. He doesn't want me to dabble in church. He wants me—body and soul.”~R.C. Sproul (1939-2017), American pastor, theologian and writer “It is certain that man never achieves a clear knowledge of himself unless he has first looked upon God's face, and then descends from contemplating him to scrutinize himself.”~John Calvin (1509-1564), French theologian, pastor, writer “The prayer preceding all prayers is ‘May it be the real I who speaks. May it be the real Thou that I speak to.'” “The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become – because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be… It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”~C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), British scholar and writer “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”~John 17:3 (NIV)SERMON PASSAGE Psalm 139 (NIV)1 You have searched me, Lord,   and you know me.2 You know when I sit and when I rise;   you perceive my thoughts from afar.3 You discern my going out and my lying down;   you are familiar with all my ways.4 Before a word is on my tongue   you, Lord, know it completely.5  You hem me in behind and before,   and you lay your hand upon me.6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,   too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit?   Where can I flee from your presence?8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;   if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,   if I settle on the far side of the sea,10 even there your hand will guide me,   your right hand will hold me fast.11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me   and the light become night around me,”12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;   the night will shine like the day,   for darkness is as light to you.13 For you created my inmost being;   you knit me together in my mother's womb.14 I praise you because I am fearfully  and wonderfully made;   your works are wonderful,   I know that full well.15 My frame was not hidden from you   when I was made in the secret place,   when I was woven together   in the depths of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;   all the days ordained for me  were written in your book   before one of them came to be.17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!   How vast is the sum of them!18 Were I to count them,   they would outnumber the grains of sand—   when I awake, I am still with you. 19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!   Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!20 They speak of you with evil intent;   your adversaries misuse your name.21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,   and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?22 I have nothing but hatred for them;   I count them my enemies.23 Search me, God, and know my heart;   test me and know my anxious thoughts.24 See if there is any offensive way in me,   and lead me in the way everlasting.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, "Under Pressure." We explored how pressure creates hope-filled people, and focused on Romans 5:1-5. Susie Larson joined us to talk about the hope God produces through suffering, explaining how endurance shapes character and how believers can actively fight painful memories with Scripture, gratitude, and the goodness of God. Susie is a well-known radio talk show host and podcaster of Susie Larson Live. Mike Tatlock joined us to talk about living with a compelling faith in a compromising culture, explaining how believers can hold to biblical truth without making agreements with false promises, while still responding to others with humility, compassion, and grace. Mike is the lead pastor at Grace Chapel church in Portland, Oregon, and is the author of “A Compelling Faith in a Comprising Culture.” We then opened up the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We posed the question, “What pressure did God free you from when you put your faith in God?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

On this episode of Timeless Wisdom, Dennis Prager explores the age-old question: can a sophisticated, modern person believe in hell? He argues that hoping for a heaven and a hell is not only morally justifiable but also essential for our moral and emotional equilibrium. Dennis takes calls from listeners, debating the notion that a good God wouldn't punish the wicked and reward the righteous. He delves into the idea that a universe without consequences for bad deeds is morally chaotic and unjust. Join the conversation as Dennis challenges the notion that believing in hell is primitive or intellectually unsophisticated.
