Ken Carman and Anthony Lima bring in producer John to dig into whether Browns tight end Harold Fannin accidentally tipped the quarterback competition, referencing quarterback control in Todd Monken's offense in a way that could point to Deshaun Watson getting the nod. They break down the edited versus unedited clips to check if anything was misleading, then debate whether Fannin's comments about audible freedom actually signal anything about who wins the job. The two also weigh whether the quarterback battle even matters much longer given how often Shedeur Sanders is still expected to play this season.

In today's episode, you'll discover: 1.     Why Active Listening earns its own dedicated step in the ESP (Easy Sales Process) — it's not a soft skill; it's the engine of the whole process. 2.     The 70/30 ratio: what it actually sounds like on a real call, and the three listening traps that quietly flip the ratio in reverse. 3.     A simple in-call technique — the Reflect-and-Confirm — that proves to your prospect you were actually listening, not just waiting for your turn. To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Stephen R. Covey: "Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply."

Jim Edwards and Stew Smith discuss how to communicate with customers to avoid chargebacks, wasted time in customer service, and ultimately more returning customers by staying CALM!  The CALM Sequence:1. Confirm the decisionSend this message immediately after purchase.Do more than say thank you. Name the decision they made and connect it to the result they want.Instead of:Your payment has been received.Try:You are officially registered. You just took the first step toward turning your scattered follow-up into a simple system that keeps customers engaged after they buy.Then state what happens next, when it happens, and where they should look.The customer should finish this email thinking, I know where I am, and I know what comes next.2. Activate a small winDo not make the customer wait until the event, course, or product arrives to feel progress.Give them something small and useful: a two-minute assessment, a checklist, a template, a single question to answer, or a setting to complete.The goal is not to bury them under bonuses.Give them one action that creates movement.A buyer who takes one meaningful step starts seeing the purchase as progress, not an expense.3. Lower uncertaintyAnswer the questions buyers may feel silly asking.When does it start? How long will it take? What should they prepare? What if they miss a session? Where do they log in? Who can help? What result should they expect first?Do not confuse mystery with anticipation. Mystery before a purchase can create curiosity. Mystery after a purchase creates support tickets and refunds.This is also the right place for a short story, testimonial, or behind-the-scenes note that shows how the experience works. Choose proof that reduces a specific fear, not applause that merely says you are wonderful.“This changed my life” is flattering.“I was worried I had no time, but the first lesson took 12 minutes and helped me fix my welcome email that afternoon” is useful.4. Move them toward commitmentBefore the main experience begins, ask the buyer to do something that signals participation.Add the event to their calendar. Reply with their biggest question. Introduce themselves in the group. Complete a short worksheet. Choose the result they want to leave with.Small commitments change the customer's role. They stop feeling like someone who spent money and start behaving like someone who joined something.That distinction matters.Check out the Facebook Group – Sales Copy and Content Marketing Hacks at  https://www.facebook.com/groups/copywritingandcontenthacks and for more information on the wizards used to make outstanding sales copy check out  https://www.CopyandContent.ai

Are the 2026 tax changes about to undo years of work in your practice? Dr Jesse Green and Brendan Campbell go through what the changes actually mean for a practice owner, and the answer is calmer than the headlines suggest.

The water utility was not represented at the meeting, despite receiving an invitation to attend and address concerns from residents.

Republican senators keep telling us they have "concerns" about Trump's picks — and then confirming them anyway. Todd Blanche, Trump's own former personal lawyer, is now on track to become Attorney General of the United States. In this video, I break down why senators like Bill Cassidy know exactly what they're doing when they cave, what Blanche's history — including his role in controversial legal settlements — reveals about his fitness for the job, and why "institutional integrity" keeps losing to political self-preservation and future lobbying paydays. This isn't just a Beltway story. It's a case study in what happens when the people meant to check power decide loyalty to Trump is worth more than the oath they took.

Communicate Like a Leader, Not a Technician Stop Speaking Jargon: How Great Leaders Build Trust Episode 316 (Gary is based in North Carolina) Repeat of 172 In this conversation with Gary Simonds we explore: why techni cal language often creates communication barriers translating expertise into everyday language using analogies to simplify complex ideas creating imagery that audiences remember asking listeners what they already understand listening before explaining confirming audience understanding building trust through clear communication preparing for difficult conversations avoiding the trap of speaking like an insider communicating across different areas of expertise helping audiences feel included instead of intimidated ----- About our guest, Gary Simonds: Gary is a neurosurgeon who created and developed a university-level neurosurgery department and residency training program at Virginia Tech and the Carilion Clinic in Virginia. He has written three non-fiction books and a a recently released novel, Death's Pale Flag, focusing on professional burnout and building personal resilience. Learn more about his books at https://garyrsimonds.com/ ----- Key Lessons from this conversation with Gary: Communication succeeds only when the audience understands your message. Technical jargon often creates distance instead of credibility. Ask your audience what they already understand before explaining. Listen before you teach. Translate expertise into plain English. Analogies and imagery help people grasp complex ideas. Create mental pictures instead of reciting technical facts. Confirm understanding instead of assuming it. Slow down during important conversations. Stay focused on the audience's concerns rather than your own agenda. Prepare your explanation before entering important conversations. Great communicators build trust through clarity, not complexity. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more.   Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in communication skills.

Human Design and the biggest astrological reset of the year meet in this episode, where Nicole breaks down the nodal shift that just changed the assignment for how you build a business and a brand. If the personal-brand playbook you've been running (be the face, make it all about you) has quietly started to feel off, there's a reason for that, and it isn't a motivation problem. Nicole names the symptom a lot of business owners are feeling right now: a pull toward something bigger than your own success, along with a strange resistance to talking about your work the way you used to. She traces it back to the sign the North Node just moved into on July 26th and the two Human Design gates this nodal shift is featuring, and what that pairing is asking you to release versus what it's asking you to grow into over the next eighteen months. This is the doorway into a bigger conversation about purpose, and why your success is not actually just about you. Nicole gets into why real growth tends to feel terrible while you're still inside it, and why getting more scared of your calling usually means you're getting closer to it. If you've felt the ground move under the way you show up and you're not yet sure what it means, this episode gives you the orientation.

US Marine officials say emergency personnel have responded to a fighter jet crash near a Marine Corps Air Station in San Diego, California. The incident occurred at around 10 a.m. on Friday local time. Authorities say the pilot ejected safely and has been recovered.

One truth I can never escape is this: the miracles recorded in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles were the evidence that confirmed the truth of the message. Acts 8:6 tells us what happened: "The people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did." They didn't just hear Philip's words – they saw the power of God at work. The message and the miracles went together. Do you see the importance of the ministry of healing? Both Philip and Simon were attracting crowds, but there was a crucial difference. Simon was preaching himself, while Philip was preaching Christ. Simon's sorceries were a counterfeit demonstration, designed to impress people with his own power. Philip, however, ministered in the power of the Holy Spirit. The miracles of healing – the lame walking, the sick restored, and lives transformed – were God's confirmation of the Gospel he preached. Those miracles were not the message itself, but they were the evidence that the message was true. They authenticated Philip's ministry and pointed people, not to the preacher, but to Jesus Christ.

https://jo.my/fuzawhTrailer Inspection and Dock SafetyA trailer can look solid from the dock and still hide a serious failure underneath. One weak floorboard, damaged support, or missed restraint can turn a normal loading task into a collapse.That's why trailer inspection is more than a glance. It protects drivers, forklift operators, dock workers, equipment, and every person nearby. Be sure to slow the job down long enough to spot danger before the trailer moves, drops, shifts, or fails.Here are a few tips to assist you with trailer inspection and safety:Check the trailer floor before entry. Look for cracks, sagging boards, water damage, holes, loose panels, and signs of rot. Watch for soft spots near the rear doors and along forklift travel paths. If the floor flexes, feels weak, or looks damaged, stop. Keep people and equipment out until the trailer is cleared.Inspect the trailer structure. Check the walls, roof, frame, landing gear, and rear impact guard. Look for bent metal, broken welds, major rust, or damage from a previous impact. A trailer may hold its shape while empty but fail under a loaded forklift.Control nose-diving. A trailer can tip forward when too much weight moves into the nose without proper support. Confirm the tractor is connected or approved trailer stands are in place. Load weight evenly and follow the facility's loading plan.Prevent tip-over and trailer movement. Verify the trailer is level, stable, and properly positioned at the dock. Check the dock plate or leveler before use. Never assume the trailer will stay still because it looks secure.Use wheel chocks with automatic restraints. Automatic restraints can fail, miss the rear impact guard, or be released by mistake. Wheel chocks add another layer of protection. Confirm they are placed correctly before loading begins.As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.Trailer failures rarely give a polite warning. They happen fast. Loud. Violent. Preventable.The safest crews don't trust appearances. They verify the floor. They verify the structure. They verify the restraint. Then they verify it again before the first forklift crosses the dock plate.That extra minute can prevent a crushed worker, a dropped forklift, a damaged load, or a trailer on its nose. Build the habit now. Make inspection part of every trailer, every dock, every shift.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

Niall Dennehy's first bank account was opened in 1987, when his mother walked him ten metres from their front door to the credit union in Ballydesmond, Co. Cork — a branch named for Nora Herlihy, the local schoolteacher who helped found the Irish credit union movement. He still gets the statement every month. Nearly four decades on, having co-founded blockchain company AID:Tech and gone through Techstars, he's a father of four in Dublin building NestiFi: an AI-powered platform that lets whole families, wherever they've scattered, invest together in a child's future.In this conversation, we get into:The 1987 credit union account Niall still gets statements for, and how it became the blueprint for NestiFiWhy the cash-stuffed-envelope economy shortchanges kids, and how a tap in the family WhatsApp chat can put relatives anywhere in the world into a child's investment accountThe tax reliefs most Irish parents have never heard of, including the small gift exemption worth up to €108,000 per child over 18 years from parents aloneTrump accounts in the US, and Niall's lobbying push to get the Irish government to seed every newborn's account the same wayWhat 1–2% in annual fees quietly does to 30 years of compounding, and why credit unions are best placed to win back the next generation from Revolut and RobinhoodIf you're a parent, a grandparent, or anyone thinking about the next generation's financial future, this episode is a practical look at how families can start compounding early.$84 trillion is expected to change hands in the US over the next 20 years; roughly €3.5 trillion in Europe by 2030 (figures Niall cites on tape).$2,500 seeded at birth plus $75/month from the wider family ≈ $40,000 by age 18 and $106,871 by age 30 (NestiFi's illustration; assumes a 7.35% average annual return compounded monthly).Niall Dennehy is the CEO and co-founder of NestiFi. Originally from Ballydesmond, Co. Cork, he co-founded AID:Tech, the blockchain company that delivered international aid transparently through digital identity, and went through Techstars in 2016. His earlier career spanned publishing, education and fintech, including roles with HP, Ericsson, LG Mobile, AIB and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. He lives in Dublin with his wife and four children — the original test users for NestiFi. [Confirm bio with Niall — drafted from the recording and public sources; no formal bio provided.]NestiFi is a Dublin-headquartered, AI-powered family wealth platform that financial institutions deploy under their own brand. It lets parents, grandparents and relatives anywhere in the world contribute to a child's investment account from a link in the messaging apps families already use, with an AI advisor (“Seb”) and gamified financial literacy built in. A B2B2C play targeting credit unions and community banks on both sides of the Atlantic, NestiFi is backed by Enterprise Ireland as a High Potential Start-Up, closed a 108% oversubscribed crowdfunding round on Spark Venture Funding in July 2026, and has announced a partnership with Vyrdia, a credit union service organization whose network spans more than 30 US credit unions with $6.5 billion in combined assets.Want to get in contact with the Digital Irish team?

What if trusting life doesn't mean trusting that everything will become stable, coherent, or reassuring? In this episode, Vanessa explores change as both a spiritual and psychological problem: why we confuse trust with continuity, why change can feel like abandonment, and what it means to stay in relationship with reality as it keeps moving. Through Octavia Butler's “God is Change,” Heraclitus, Buddhist impermanence, process theology, attachment theory, meaning-making research, and Jungian transformation, we look at the grief and freedom of releasing the fantasy that life's job is to preserve the forms we love. Trust is not certainty that everything will work out; it is the willingness to remain present with what is real as it changes form.For educational purposes only.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: July 24, 2026 Length: Not provided Presented by: Global Training Center Summary In this episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen returns after a two-week break to unpack one of the most operationally challenging tariff transitions of 2026. Using Taylor Swift's “Sad, Beautiful, Tragic” as the lens, she explores a trade environment defined by abrupt deadlines, overlapping authorities, and relationships that may be moving beyond their free-trade era. Cindy explains the transition from the temporary Section 122 duty to new Section 301 tariffs tied to how 60 economies address forced-labor imports. She examines the 10% and 12.5% tariff structures, the treatment of most-favored-nation duties for certain countries, general and country-specific exclusions, Section 232 carve-outs, and the importance of proper tariff stacking. The official action became applicable to most covered entries beginning July 24, 2026. The episode also looks ahead to Section 338 tariffs on selected Canadian products, continuing IEEPA refund activity, potential court challenges, and the uncertain future of USMCA. For importers, customs brokers, programmers, and trade teams, Cindy's message is practical: review every tariff number, examine every applicable annex, document the analysis, and give implementation partners some grace. This Week in Trade • The temporary Section 122 tariff ended as the new Section 301 forced-labor tariff regime took effect. • Section 301 treatment now varies by country, with 10% or 12.5% rates and special MFN calculations for certain trading partners. • General, country-specific, use-specific, and Section 232 exemptions make product-level classification and origin reviews essential. • Section 338 tariffs of 50% on selected Canadian products are scheduled to take effect on August 19, 2026. Main Topic / Discussion A Layered Section 301 Implementation Cindy breaks down the new Section 301 duties imposed in connection with foreign forced-labor import prohibitions. The headline rate is only the beginning: importers must determine the correct country treatment, whether the rate is additive or calculated net of MFN duties, and whether the product qualifies for a general or country-specific exemption. Classification, Exemptions, and Tariff Stacking The extensive annexes require careful HTS classification and product review. Exemptions include certain raw materials, products that could cause economy-wide disruption, goods unavailable in sufficient quantities from domestic or alternative sources, and products already covered by Section 232. Cindy also emphasizes the importance of following CBP's reporting sequence so each trade remedy appears on the correct tariff-stacking level. Errors in sequencing or combining duties can create problems during refund, reconciliation, protest, or liquidation activity. Canada and Section 338 New Section 338 tariffs add another layer to the changing U.S.–Canada relationship. Cindy considers whether the measures will remain negotiating leverage or take effect as scheduled—and what they could signal for the future of USMCA. The “Sad, Beautiful, Tragic” Connection Taylor Swift's song becomes a metaphor for trade relationships, predictable implementation, and a free-trade environment that may be slipping away. Cindy closes by acknowledging that international trade has entered a fundamentally different era—one requiring closer review, faster adaptation, and stronger coordination across compliance teams. Key Takeaways • Do not assume every country receives the same Section 301 treatment. Confirm the country of origin, HTS classification, applicable rate, MFN interaction, and corresponding annex. • Review both the general exclusions and every applicable country- or use-specific exclusion before determining duty liability. • Validate tariff stacking and entry-line reporting with your customs broker and software provider to reduce refund, reconciliation, and liquidation problems. • Assess exposure to the upcoming Section 338 tariffs on Canadian products now, rather than waiting until the scheduled August 19 effective date.

Finding federal decision makers before the RFP drops is the real edge in government contracting, and most contractors are looking in the wrong place entirely. In this episode, Randie Ward breaks down the exact hierarchy of people behind every solicitation, from the contracting officer down to the program manager and end user, and reveals a sloppy habit contracting officers don't even realize gives away who's really calling the shots. If you've been submitting proposals into the void with no contacts, this changes how you approach every opportunity going forward. Learn the difference between a contracting officer, contracting specialist, and program manager, and why only one of them is the true decision maker Discover a hidden trick using solicitation comment sections that exposes the program office contact before you ever apply Use USASpending.gov to match an award ID to its solicitation number when SAM.gov search comes up empty Confirm a decision maker's identity through LinkedIn and Google searches, even when they have no active profile Build a relationship with your small business specialist so they'll personally connect you to the program manager EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction to finding the real decision maker 0:48 - Understanding the contracting officer and specialist roles 1:54 - Why the program manager is the true decision maker 3:00 - Reading the RFP before it officially drops 4:01 - The sloppy comment section trick contracting officers miss 6:21 - Using USASpending.gov to find the solicitation number 7:15 - Googling and LinkedIn searching to confirm your contact 8:27 - Leveraging your small business specialist for an introduction Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Jack Mallers' departure from 21 Capital marks a major shift in the Bitcoin treasury landscape. As companies rethink their strategies through a difficult market, the conversation is expanding beyond simply holding Bitcoin to building sustainable businesses around it.

For thirty years, healthcare has met every new technology with the same four words, we've seen this before. Most of the time the doubt loses. The internet was called a fad, and by 2009 a majority of US adults were looking up health information online, up from a quarter in 2000. So the reflex is earned. This episode asks the harder question, whether being right about the internet tells you anything at all about AI. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith open with why the reflex is so strong. The 1999 objections to the web read almost word for word like the 2024 objections to AI. Patients won't trust it. It makes mistakes. It can't replace the clinician. Pew found 60% of US adults uncomfortable with a provider relying on AI for their own care, which rhymes with the discomfort that greeted the web. There is even a formal model for the pattern, the Gartner Hype Cycle, though its own critics point out the curve has no data behind it. In the second segment they find where the analogy breaks. The web reached a majority of adults over roughly a decade. ChatGPT reached 100 million users in about two months, the fastest ramp UBS had seen in twenty years. The web moved information you could still judge by its source. A large language model makes the answer in the moment, with no source to check, in the same confident tone whether it's right or wrong. Chris and Reed hand you one question to run in a meeting, does the thing that made the old case turn out fine actually show up here, and one way to sort your AI uses by how much a wrong answer costs. Then the conversation turns to two people who have hosted the room where healthcare argues about this since 1996. Kathy Divis and Mike Schneider of Greystone.Net mark the 30th anniversary of HCIC. They trace digital from a small side function to something so central that a keynote once argued digital marketing was dead, meaning it had stopped needing its own name. Mike makes the point plainly, the technology changes and the questions stay the same, from the internet to CRM to AI. And they share what surfaced across this year's conference proposals, a return to trust and authority as the theme running through the whole organization. In this episode, Chris, Reed and the guests cover: Why we've seen this before is both earned pattern recognition and a way to stop thinking Where the AI story tracks the internet and where it breaks, on speed and on the difference between moving information and making it The one question that separates a real analogy from a comforting one How 30 years of HCIC read the same skepticism across the internet, CRM and AI What it means when a technology stops needing its own name, and why invisible was the goal for the web and the risk for AI Why trust and authority came back as the theme in this year's proposals If someone in your next meeting says we've seen this before, this episode is about the follow-up question that tells you whether they just said something wise or talked the room out of thinking. touchpoint.health Mentions from the Show: Pew Research Center, The Social Life of Health Information, 2009 (25% of adults online for health info in 2000, 61% by 2009): https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2009/06/11/the-social-life-of-health-information/ Pew Research Center, 60% of Americans Would Be Uncomfortable With a Provider Relying on AI in Their Own Health Care, 2023: https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2023/02/22/60-of-americans-would-be-uncomfortable-with-provider-relying-on-ai-in-their-own-health-care/ Gartner, Hype Cycle Research Methodology: https://www.gartner.com/en/research/methodologies/gartner-hype-cycle Reuters, ChatGPT sets record for fastest-growing user base, 2023 (100M users in about two months): https://finance.yahoo.com/news/1-chatgpt-sets-record-fastest-051929384.html BMJ Open, 2026 chatbot health-information audit (nearly half of answers problematic).

DNA testing is underway on all sixteen children found in a single room in Vinton County, Ohio. The Attorney General has described the Siders case as "intrafamily." The birth certificates say Gary Jr. and Elizabeth are the parents. But Elizabeth was fifteen when she married and thirteen when her first child was born — and the public wants to know who fathered those sixteen children.Four adults are charged with child endangerment: Gary Siders Jr., Elizabeth Siders, and the grandparents Gary Sr. and Christina. A gag order filed by Gary Jr.'s attorney has silenced every official connected to the case — even though the other three defense teams didn't request one. The question is whether that order is protecting Gary Jr.'s right to a fair trial or shielding institutions from answering for their failure to intervene.Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, joins Tony and Robin to address what the DNA results could reveal, whether Elizabeth should be treated as someone who was harmed by the same household she's charged with endangering, and what investigators may find when they start looking at the family's prior addresses.A forensic psychologist has publicly identified the grandparents as the "catalyst." A niece of Gary Sr. has claimed conditions weren't severe during her visits and suggested Gary Jr. is responsible for the deterioration. Coffindaffer examines who was really running this family — and whether the truth is even more complicated than either side claims.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In an episode we first ran back in 2014, we explore how a sunken nuclear submarine, a crazy billionaire, and a mechanical claw gave birth to a phrase that has hounded journalists and lawyers for 40 years and embodies the tension between the public's desire for transparency and the government's need to keep secrets.   Whether it comes from government spokespeople or celebrity publicists, the phrase “can neither confirm nor deny” is the perfect non-denial denial. It's such a perfect deflection that it seems like it's been around forever, but reporter Julia Barton takes us back to the 1970s and the surprising origin story of what's now known as a “Glomar Response.” With help from David Sharp and Walt Logan, we tell the story of a clandestine CIA operation to lift a sunken Soviet submarine from the ocean floor and the dilemma they faced when the world found out about it. It's an episode we first released in 2014, but given some things in the news recently, it resonated with us again. In the 40 years since that operation, the Glomar Response has become boilerplate language from an array of government agencies. With help from ProPublica editor Jeff Larson and NPR's Dina Temple-Raston, we explore the implications of this ultimate information dodge. ACLU lawyer Jameel Jaffer explains how it stymies oversight, and we learn that, even 40 years later, governmental secrecy can be emotionally painful. More information about Glomar: After 40 years, many of the details of Project Azorian are only now coming to light. The US government's default position has been to keep as much of it classified as possible. It took three years for retired CIA employee David Sharp to get permission to publish his account of Project Azorian. And FOIA played an indirect role in that, as Cold War historians got the CIA to release, in redacted form, an internal history of the mission. After that and a threat of legal action, Sharp was finally able to publish his manuscript in 2012. We mentioned conspiracy theories that have swirled around Project Azorian filling the void where official silence has reigned. One of them is promulgated in the 2005 book “Red Star Rogue” by Kenneth Sewell and Clint Richmond. They posit that the K-129 was taken over by rogue Stalinist KGB agents in order to start a nuclear conflict. But the conflict was to be between the US and China, as, according to the authors, the sub had powers to disguise its sonic signature as a Chinese Navy vessel. This book is the basis of the 2013 drama “Phantom,” which features Ed Harris and David Duchovny as Soviet military officers who sip vodka in a very un-Russian way. Russian Naval historians, like Nikolai Cherkashin, are not only insulted by this take on the cause of the K-129's demise, they say the true cause is much easier to pinpoint: They say an American vessel, possibly the USS Swordfish, collided with the Soviet submarine. Despite the fact that the US government has turned over many documents about Project Azorian and what it found to the Russian government, many in the Russian Navy stand by their theory that it was far too easy for the US to locate the K-129 on the bottom of the Pacific, given the technology of the time. According to these theories, Project Azorian was nothing more than an elaborate cover-up disguised as ... an elaborate cover-up. We can neither confirm nor deny that we exactly understand how that would have worked in practice or execution. It's one of the more solemn moments of the Cold War, and one that the Glomar Response helped keep a secret for a very long time.LATERAL CUTS:What Lies Beneath (https://radiolab.org/podcast/what-lies-beneath)  EPISODE CREDITS:  Reported by - Julia Barton Sign up for our newsletter!!

Getting a compliment on a color you're wearing is not the same as being seen.   Most women have at least one color in their closet that draws compliments regularly and still feels wrong somehow. Like what's being noticed isn't quite them. There's a reason for that.   Most color advice asks what looks good on you, but your personal color palette should start with who you are.   In this episode we look at why compliments aren't proof your colors are right for you, what your colors are actually communicating whether you intended it or not, and what it looks like to build a palette that starts with your personality instead of just your undertone.    Get the free pdf: Guide to Seasonal Energy & Personality Colors.

Do you ever feel like your day is running you instead of the other way around? This solo episode is your reset.   Janet Taylor, your Life Organizer, shares the ten strategies she personally uses to master her day — and they work whether you are just starting your career, a seasoned professional, or retired. No matter where you are, a plan and the right tools can change everything.   In this episode Janet covers:   Strategy 1: Start the night before. Just 15 minutes of pre-planning can save you an hour or more the next day — and dramatically reduce your morning overwhelm.  Strategy 2: Pack your bag the night before. Know exactly what you need before your feet hit the floor. Strategy 3: Lay out your clothes and shoes the night before. Eliminate morning decisions before they drain your energy.  Strategy 4: Confirm your appointments. One phone call can save you an entire wasted trip across town.  Strategy 5: Check your schedule before you say yes. Look at the day before and the day after — not just the day of.  Strategy 6: Double the time you think tasks will take. Give yourself enough room to finish without the stress of running over.  Strategy 7: Meal prep. It saves time, supports your health, and saves money — even a simple meat and sides prep makes the whole week easier.  Strategy 8: Keep all appointments on one calendar — personal, professional, caregiving, all of it in one place.  Strategy 9: Color code your schedule. At a glance you will know exactly where your energy is going and what is missing.  Strategy 10: Make time for yourself. Janet's personal time is yellow on her calendar. What color is yours?   Organizing with Janet: A client was overwhelmed by a large organizing project and kept stalling because she was trying to do everything at once. Janet helped her create a project timeline with specific dates and dedicated time blocks for each area. With a timeline and a focus on one space at a time, frustration turned into forward movement.   Taylor's Tip Time: Plan the night before — lay out clothes, put shoes by the door, know where your keys are, have your gym bag ready, and review your schedule. Just 15 minutes reduces the manic morning rush completely.   TossItTuesday: Time to toss the old calendars and planners you have been holding onto for years. The pretty pictures are not worth the drawer space. Let them go.   Quote of the week: "You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it." — Charles Buxton   Clear the Clutter. Claim Your Power. It starts with your calendar.     CONNECT WITH JANET M.
