The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Kellen Hoxworth. Classified as a White Man, Dr. Hoxworth is an “Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Buffalo, State University of New York. His academic interests focus on the intersections between performance, race, and coloniality, particularly in African and Black diasporic performance.” During our recent discussing with Dr. Chad Montrie, he told us that while researching Racially Restricted Regions of Minnesota he was inundated with blackface and minstrel show images. Dr. Montrie said, “They were everywhere.” At the schools, in the libraries, at the political meetings. All areas of people activity. The ubiquitous nature of these images motivated him to write a book on the subject and spurred Gus research other material on these racial performances. I soon located, Dr. Hoxworth's Transoceanic Blackface: Empire, Race, Performance. This 2024 publication asserts that minstrels shows are not a uniquely “american” form of entertainment. Rather, blackface and minstrel show performances where a crucial component of a global White Culture. People classified as White in every region of the globe partook in the humor and domination of the minstrel show. They are a massive component of what it means to be classified as White. #WhatDoesItMeanToBeWhite #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

This week on the Ante Up Poker Podcast, Elle and I kick things off with a listener-submitted question that sparks a great table-worthy discussion. We also dive into the Dan Cates boxing match. Here is a link to the video of that. We also touch on Maurice Hawkins capturing his 22nd WSOP Circuit ring. On Call the Floor, Elliott rules on a tricky spot where a player announces “raise” but isn't allowed their full intended amount. Then Joe and Patrick break down this week's HOTW, playing pocket tens and navigating the decisions that come with them. As always, the show wraps up with Joe's One Outer, this time taking aim at poker hand advice that's given without proper context—and why that can be more dangerous than helpful.

Guest: Padraic Scanlan. Scanlan, author of Rot, introduces the history of the Irish Famine by recounting a folk story about Queen Victoria visiting the devastated village of Skibbereen. He sets the context by explaining how the pre-famine Irish economy relied entirely on the high-yield potato, which allowed landlords to pay incredibly low wages to a capital-poor population.

It would be funny if it wasn't so damn serious, but there is a less-than-zero chance that Kamala Harris could be the President of the United States of America at literally any minute, and perhaps for four full years. The clown show and soft coup currently happening inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is befitting for one of the worst presidential administrations in American political history.Kamala Harris is staggeringly unqualified to be the president, but the mainstream media is doing what they do best by rewriting history by erasing her as Biden's Border Czar, to borrow a term from the Marxist, Barack Obama, a man who understands that she has no path to the White House. It is also worth mentioning that she has had a 92% turnover rate inside her office, making it is clear that there are already major issues and everyone knows who is to blame.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsAnarchapulco: https://anarchapulco.com/ | Promo Code: MACROC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROGround Luxe Grounding Mats: https://groundluxe.com/MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 01/29/26. While nurses in the US started the new year with strikes for better work conditions, a black female nurse in he United Kingdom, Jennifer Melle, concluded a horrendous ordeal after being accused of "misgendering" a White Race Soldier and alleged child rapist. Employed at Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nurse Melle reportedly called a White patient "Mr" and "he." The Racist demanded that Nurse Melle address them as a female. She informed her patient that her religious beliefs forbid her from identifying them as female. The Racist began spewing Racist slurs and threatening Nurse Melle, who was later charged with "misgendering" this volatile Racist. When people beyond the hospital became aware of this conflict, Melle was accused of breaching confidentiality and sharing private information about the White patient. Although this happened across the pond, this harrowing workplace experience offers many lessons for Victims of Racism. around the globe. And one of our listeners provides a tacky illustration of why we should always refrain from accepting food from coworkers (or strangers) while on the job. As Neely Fuller Jr. told us, it does not get an better than tacky. #WinterWeather #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

In this episode of To Be the Church, we talk about why context and genre matter when interpreting Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible includes historical narrative, poetry, wisdom literature, letters, and apocalyptic imagery—and each genre calls for a different approach.We explore how understanding the original audience, authorial intent, and literary style helps prevent common misreadings, avoids unnecessary conflicts with science, and brings clarity to difficult passages—especially in books like Genesis and Revelation.Contact us at podcast@tobethechurch.com

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Joshua Clark Davis. Classified as a White Man, Dr. Davis is an associate professor of U.S. history at the University of Baltimore. Much of his research examines area of law, politics, and economics within the System of White Supremacy. Gus learned about Dr. Davis' work while studying Char Adams' fabulous new work Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore. A major point of emphasis is that White Supremacists have invested extraordinary time and energy for centuries to prohibit black people from reading and studying about Racism. Consequently, black bookstores were key targets of Racist counterintelligence programs and sabotage. Adams' book was directly inspired by a 2016 report from Davis, The FBI's War on Black-Owned Bookstores. Gus hoped to discuss Davis' 2020 publication, From Head Shops to Whole Foods: The Rise and Fall of Activist Entrepreneurs. This book as a while chapter discussing the obstacles and labor of black bookstore owners. However, Dr. Davis requested to focus on his 2025 publication, Police Against the Movement: The Sabotage of the Civil Rights Struggle and the Activists Who Fought Back. This important work examines how local police departments sabotage and spy on black people who attempt counter-racism. Examinations of the FBI's COINTELPRO program often fail to examine the separate local surveillance operations which also labored to neutralize any counter-racist effort of non-white people. This book reveals many examples of White people lying by willfully concealing information. #TheGlassHouseTapes #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Welcome back to The Sharp Cut — where Marc and Vassilis take scissors to marketing's biggest comfort blankets. This episode's target: personas.Not “burn them all”… but the idea that personas are a valid operating system for audience strategy. Marc and V argue that personas don't fail because they're fictional — they fail because they pretend markets are stable, targetable, and neatly categorized, when real buying behaviour is context-driven, messy, and dynamic.They unpack why personas became popular (stakeholder comfort, platform narratives, proxy metrics), then bring in evidence — including an Adobe test where the “expected” persona audience underperformed an unexpected segment by 50%. The conclusion is blunt: personas are a story, not a strategy — and if you confuse the two, you'll underreach, overfit, and misallocate budget.The alternative? Shift from identity to category entry points, need-states, broad reach, and experimentation — and use personas only as a creative communication layer after the real strategy is built.Key takeawaysPersonas aren't dead — but they're not a foundation. They can help internal alignment, but they shouldn't drive budget.Context beats identity. People don't buy because they “are” a persona; they buy due to situations, triggers, and barriers.Personas encourage exclusion. That's dangerous when growth requires reaching more category buyers (especially light and ultra-light buyers).Markets are more similar than persona decks imply. The Ehrenberg-Bass “law of brand user profiles” suggests rival brand buyers often look alike; growth is about penetration, not “unicorn” profiles.Testing beats theorizing. The Adobe example shows how persona-led targeting can blind you to better-performing audiences.Privacy + platform automation should push you away from persona obsession. Your edge becomes positioning, reach, creative quality, and measurement — not “knowing Sarah.”Replace persona-led planning with: category entry points, need-states, barriers/motivations, creative territories, broad reach by default, and guardrail measurement.Chapters / Timestamps00:00 — Welcome to The Sharp Cut: “Personas, we have a problem.”Why this topic matters right now.01:10 — The “Underwear Crisis”: when a persona sounds smart but makes no decisionsWhy polished personas often collapse at decision time.02:20 — The core myth: “If we can describe them, we can target them.”The promise of precision and why it's so seductive.04:25 — Persona theatre: why decks reward stories over strategyCheckbox segmentation, stakeholder comfort, and agency incentives.05:00 — Evidence check: Adobe says the persona era is overThe “inside-out” problem and why context drives outcomes.06:10 — The 50% conversion wake-up call: testing beyond the personaHow “sport lovers” beat the “correct” persona audience.07:15 — Why personas persist: org design, proxy metrics, platform narratives, psychologyControl feels good — even when it's false.09:10 — The marketing science critique: brand buyers aren't that differentPenetration, light buyers, and why “special customers” are overrated.10:30 — Category entry points: what people actually buy forIdentity vs situations, triggers, and motivations.12:05 — “But B2B...

Did Bethel Church actually repent over the Shawn Bolz scandal? In this episode of The Remnant Radio, we carefully examine the public statements and actions of Bethel Church leadership—including Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, and Danny Silk—to determine whether their response represents genuine biblical repentance or merely institutional damage control. From questions of prophetic accountability and false prophecy to the broader credibility of charismatic theology, this conversation aims to help believers think clearly, biblically, and sober-mindedly about what true repentance looks like in church leadership.We walk step-by-step through what Bethel leaders said, what they admitted, what they failed to address, and how their response compares to the biblical standard for repentance, confession, and restoration. We also interact with the wider conversation sparked by Mike Winger and others, exploring how prophecy abuse and leadership silence can damage trust in the church and distort the witness of the gospel. As continuationists who affirm the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, we believe accountability is not an attack on the charismatic movement—it is essential to its integrity.Critical Questions Discussed:-Is Bethel's apology genuine or just PR spin?​-What does biblical restoration require beyond saying "I'm sorry"?​-Why did it take Mike Winger's exposé for leadership to act?​-What about Kenneth Copeland, The Passion Translation, and other concerning endorsements?​-How can churches protect victims while reconciling fallen leaders to the body of Christ?Our goal is not to tear down, but to tell the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), to test everything and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and to call the Church to holiness, transparency, and faithfulness to Christ. If you care about sound theology, responsible use of spiritual gifts, and protecting God's people from spiritual harm, this conversation is for you.Special thanks to the Bethel alumni who held their leaders accountable—your faithfulness in speaking truth in love catalyzed this moment of repentance. This could be a watershed moment for the charismatic movement if genuine fruit follows these words.0:00 – Introduction2:04 – Context and Prior Bethel Concerns13:23 – Bethel's Response 23:23 – Kris Vallotton's Personal Disclosure30:28 – The Jezebel Passage Misinterpretation33:34 – Bethel's New Core Values 38:10 – Bethel Issues That Remain Unaddressed49:03 – Bill Johnson's Repentance Message1:00:40 – Bill Johnson's TBN Interview Mistake1:17:43 – Danny Silk's Email 1:34:05 – Final Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

This has gotten some traction and deserves a look. Context is required. The Middle East Forum wrote an investigative article claiming that the church was one of the major US donors to charities associated with Hamas and The Muslim Brotherhood. There are certainly some red flags, but we need to understand how the Middle East works. And this is not the first time these allegations have been made. Website: cwicmedia.com

College football doesn't really end anymore.The clock hits :00. The trophy gets handed out. And almost immediately, the sport gets loud again. Portal moves, litigation, coaching changes, CFP debates and more. Oh, and by the way, we've also got a Super Bowl coming up with Seattle vs. New England. (Hello Elite 11 finalists Sam Darnold and Drake Maye)With everything seemingly happening all at once in football, there's a race to be first instead of thoughtful.It's the same in the content world. Instant reaction shows. Social posts fired off before the dust settles. Takes delivered as fast as possible.That's not how we do it at Y-Option.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.After the Hoosiers hoisted their hardware, we took a pause. And today, we took a detailed look back at the season that was in 2025.Today's episode of Y-Option, fueled by our founding sponsor 76® — keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, is with Jim Thornby. For nearly two hours, we just talked. No timer. No rush. Multiple cups of coffee. Dozens of teams. Real perspective.One hundred and five minutes later, the result was less of a “podcast” and more of a conversation. And as we talked, one thing became clear:* The biggest change in college football isn't happening at the top. It's happening in the middle.The 12-team Playoff didn't just give more teams access, it changed the psychology of the sport. Suddenly, programs sitting fourth, fifth or sixth in their conference are making million-dollar decisions with almost no margin for error.Quarterbacks cost more. Mistakes cost more. One Saturday can swing an entire donor base's belief.We talk about why that reality is both exciting and dangerous and why the sport still hasn't figured out how to handle what comes after the final whistle.We went league by league—not to rank them, but to understand them.The Big Ten's rise isn't accidental, it's legit and not going anywhere but up. The SEC isn't broken, but it's no longer bulletproof. The ACC looked chaotic… until Miami made a run that forced everyone to re-think the narrative. And the Big 12? Still searching for the moment that changes how the country sees it.Context matters. And it's usually the first thing lost online.We also spent time on the Pac-12, a place that impacted both of us deeply, as it steps into a new reality.Looking back was a reminder that Oregon State and Washington State found ways to survive, even when the odds were stacked against them. And now, under the leadership of Commissioner Teresa Gould, they're building something with substance: proven head coaches, programs with real momentum, and a league that still has a path to the CFP.That's why we made this episode. To celebrate the game and coach the viewer.We know it's “too long” according to the experts and the algorithms. But Y-Option wasn't created to win an algorithm. It was built to serve the thoughtful college football fan, coach, and player.So before we sprint forward into the Super Bowl, Signing Day, and Spring Ball, let's take one last look back at where we've been as a sport.As always, thank you for being here.

Data is shaping how we understand health, politics, work, and everyday life, but without context, it can mislead more than it informs. In this episode,, Kara Duffy speaks with Andrea Jones-Rooy, data scientist, former professor, comedian, and host of Behind the Data Podcast, about how to think critically about statistics, misinformation, and measurement in today's information-saturated world. Andrea explains why data doesn't speak for itself, how charts and trends can be manipulated without context, and why critical thinking and data literacy are essential skills for modern leaders. The conversation also explores career identity, fractional paths, creative work, and why being multi-hyphenate can lead to more fulfillment, better problem-solving, and stronger decision-making in both business and life.

One year into a new federal administration, the January 2026 installment of Current Campus Context examines what has actually changed for colleges and universities—and what has quietly reshaped campus life beneath the headlines. Heather Shea is joined by Dr. Brendan Cantwell and Dr. Crystal Garcia to explore federal power and institutional response, heightened ICE presence and campus climate, and how bluster, austerity, and silence are redefining institutional priorities. Together, they reflect on what these shifts mean for student affairs professionals navigating uncertainty, care, and purpose in 2026. The post Current Campus Context: One Year In—What Changed, What Didn't appeared first on Student Affairs NOW.

What does justice mean when it's stripped of context—and what happens when societies forget the cost of freedom?In this powerful episode of Restitch America, host Alma Ohene-Opare sits down with Dr. Sheila Nazarian, an Iranian-American physician, entrepreneur, and outspoken advocate for truth, to discuss her extraordinary journey fleeing Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and building a life in the United States.Grounded in the article “Justice Needs Context,” this conversation explores why justice cannot exist in abstraction—only within history, culture, and lived experience. Dr. Nazarian shares firsthand insight into life under an authoritarian regime, the dangers of ideological amnesia, and why Americans must understand freedom before redefining justice.Together, Alma and Dr. Nazarian examine how narratives around oppression, privilege, and power shift when viewed through the lens of immigrants who escaped tyranny—and why gratitude, perspective, and courage are essential to preserving a free society.About the Guest:Dr. Sheila Nazarian is a board-certified plastic surgeon, successful entrepreneur, television personality, and outspoken activist. After establishing a leading private medical practice, she founded multiple ventures including NazarianSkin, The Skin Spot, Spa26, and Physique26.

Coverage of the latest deadly shooting by federal immigration agents has left out crucial context. Today, Josh tells you what most legacy media have ignored. He digs into the track record of the official who led Trump's crackdown in Minneapolis. A federal judge slammed Greg Bovino for “outright lying.” Josh also explains how the media left out the dangers these agents face, which can affect a split-second decision to shoot. Then, another big story involving immigration. 60 Minutes broadcast the controversial report about a hellish prison in El Salvador. It’s the segment that many “journalists” insisted would never air. Now that it did, what are they saying? Unlike the media, Josh shows you what was changed in the report before it aired — and what wasn’t. They Stand Corrected counts on you!

Once survival is secured, a different question emerges: what is life for? In this episode of Context, we trace three enduring sources of human purpose—endurance, exploration, and understanding—through three excellent books: The Wager, Undaunted Courage, and A Short History of Nearly Everything. From shipwrecked sailors struggling to preserve dignity, to Lewis and Clark crossing an unmapped continent, to scientists devoting their entire lives to understanding how the universe works, we'll consider how human beings have sought more than mere comfort. The result is a long-view reflection on what intelligence is for. And why, in the age of artificial intelligence, remembering these layers of meaning may matter more than ever.

In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence. Inspired by Ada Lovelace's early vision of creative machines, we explore how the boundaries between expertise and common sense have been reshaped by modern AI, from expert systems to today's generative models. We sit down with pioneers and practitioners—Vasant Dhar, a longtime AI researcher and author of Thinking With Machines; Christopher Mims, technology journalist and author of How To AI; and the creators of Tachi AI, Aden Bahadori and Brett Granstaff—to discover how AI is shifting not only what we make but how we make it.We unpack the promise and the pitfalls of treating AI as a true thinking partner, not just a tool for automation. Our guests share practical strategies for using AI to augment creative work, streamline tedious tasks, and enhance idea generation—while emphasizing the necessity of human framing, expertise, and judgment. Whether you're a leader, designer, marketer, or filmmaker, we reveal why using AI thoughtfully is the real competitive edge in creative fields and business.Five Key Learnings:AI's Compounding Edge: Utilizing AI consistently and benchmarking progress gives creatives and teams a multiplying advantage—not by replacing human originality, but by amplifying it through incremental improvements.Framing Questions Matter: The ability to ask the right, nuanced questions remains fundamentally human, and is essential when using AI as a partner in ideation, research, and strategy.Context and Expertise Are Critical: Experts benefit most from AI—leveraging their knowledge to dig deeper, validate outputs, and push beyond generic solutions, while ensuring originality in their work.AI as Scaffolding, Not a Substitute: The greatest value of AI today is in reducing friction and clearing time for creativity—whether it's summarizing information, managing knowledge, or prepping film edits—so humans can focus on what matters.Human-Centric, Supportive AI: Tools like Tachi AI demonstrate that supporting creativity is more transformative than automating it; AI as infrastructure enables faster iteration and more creative decision-making, not just higher productivity.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric turn up the heat as they break down the real vs. fake side of the business influencer world. From internet gurus to billion-dollar founders, they ask the tough questions most podcasts avoid—like who's pretending, who's giving bad advice from their ivory tower, and who would actually survive starting over from zero. On this episode we talk about: The difference between a real entrepreneur and an online persona Why so much business advice only works if you're already rich The influencers who couldn't rebuild if they lost everything The fine line between helpful inspiration and harmful messaging How flashy “success stories” twist the meaning of ethics and authenticity Top 3 Takeaways Many creators give advice that sounds profound—but only makes sense once you've already made your millions. Real entrepreneurs lead with integrity and consistency. Their offline life should match their online brand. Before acting on anyone's advice, ask yourself: “Does this apply to my current reality?” Context matters more than charisma. Notable Quotes “It's easy to say ‘just be happy' when you've already got millions in the bank.” “Too many people copy characters they built online and forget who they really are.” “I filter everything through two questions: Is it useful, and does it hurt other people?” Connect with Travis Chappell:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell• Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/traviscchappell• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell• Other (Website): https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is brought to you by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Episode Summary The most powerful skill you can learn in 2026 isn't Photoshop or marketing — it's typing what you want into a chatbot. Plain English is the new programming language, and you already speak it. But most artists get garbage results from AI. Why? Because AI isn't dumb — it's blind. It doesn't know your business, your customers, your prices, or your voice. The fix is simple: context files. In this episode, I break down exactly how to create context files that turn generic AI into YOUR personal assistant — and I give you a prompt that lets AI interview you to build the file automatically. The "Interview Me" Prompt Copy and paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Art Helper: I want to create a context document about my art business that I can use with AI tools. Interview me by asking one question at a time. Cover these areas: - Who I am as an artist (background, medium, style) - Who my customers are (demographics, where they find me, budget) - What I sell (products, price points, bestsellers) - How I talk/write (voice, tone, words I use) - My business goals for this year After the interview, compile everything into a clean document I can save and reuse. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my answer. The Context File Menu You don't need all of these. Pick 2-3 to start and build from there. # Document What's In It When It Saves You 1 Artist Bio Story, background, philosophy Grants, press, about pages 2 Customer Avatar Who buys, demographics, budget Marketing, emails, ad copy 3 Product Lineup What you sell, prices, sizes Listings, sales copy 4 Brand Voice How you write, words you use/avoid All written content 5 Tech Stack Computers, printers, software, OS ANY tech issue — instant diagnosis 6 Collector List Past buyers, what they bought, notes Follow-ups, Christmas cards 7 Show Calendar Art fairs, festivals, deadlines Planning, logistics 8 Pricing Strategy How you price, margins, why New work, negotiating 9 Marketing Channels Where you show up, what works Strategy, focus 10 FAQ Doc Questions people always ask Responses, website copy 11 Vendor List Framers, printers, suppliers Reorders, troubleshooting 12 Studio Setup Physical space, equipment Insurance, optimization 13 Art Style Guide Medium, techniques, subjects Press, commissions 14 Business Goals Revenue targets, 1yr/5yr vision Planning, accountability 15 Competition Notes Who else, how you're different Positioning, marketing Where to Save Your Context Files ChatGPT Projects: chatgpt.com → New Project → Upload files Claude Projects: claude.ai/projects → New Project → Add to knowledge base Gemini Gems: gemini.google.com → Explore Gems → New Gem File formats that work everywhere: PDF, Word docs, plain text, Markdown Related Episodes Context is King: Stop Having First Dates with ChatGPT Every Time (2025)

Most sales advice focuses on one thing: motivation. More features. More urgency. More discounts. In this episode of Sales & Cigars, Walter sits down with consumer psychology expert Matt Sucha to challenge that assumption—and reveal why buyers often don't need more reasons to say yes… they need fewer reasons to say no. Matt breaks down the psychology behind stalled deals, hesitation, and "I'll think about it," drawing from behavioral economics, real-world case studies, and his book The Hidden Yes. If you've ever felt like your offer made sense but still didn't close, this conversation explains why. In This Episode: Why logic doesn't close deals—feelings do The biggest mistake salespeople make: over-focusing on motivation How uncertainty, doubt, and fear silently kill conversions Why free offers often feel less valuable to buyers The difference between objective value and perceived value How context can change willingness to pay—without changing price A real-world insurance case study that led to a 167% conversion lift Why better sales starts with asking: "Why wouldn't they buy?" Key Takeaways:  Buyers don't stall because they're unmotivated—they stall because something feels risky. Removing psychological friction is often more powerful than adding incentives. Context (how and when you present information) shapes value more than price itself. Great sales conversations are designed—not improvised. Free Gift for Our Listeners!

In this episode of Next in Media, I sit down with Kiri Masters, host of the Retail Media Breakfast Club podcast, to explore the biggest shifts happening in retail media advertising. We dive into the recent announcement about ads coming to ChatGPT and what that means for brands trying to meet consumers where they are. Kiri shares her perspective on whether AI-powered shopping will truly disrupt the retail media landscape - and why she's optimistic that LLM-based ads could actually be more relevant and less annoying than traditional formats. We also unpack the Walmart-Google partnership and discuss what it signals about the future of conversational commerce.Beyond the AI conversation, we tackle some of the industry's most pressing questions. Will we see consolidation in retail media networks this year? Can shoppable TV finally gain traction? And what happens when offsite retail media faces competition from platforms with their own transactional data? Kiri brings both historical context - including a fascinating story about Piggly Wiggly's self-service revolution - and forward-looking insights about how brands and retailers need to collaborate differently. Whether you're a marketer navigating this space or just curious about where AI and commerce intersect, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at what's real, what's hype, and what's coming next._______________________________________________Key Highlights

In this episode, Dr. Ray Blanchard explores the critical role of context and systems in practice, grounding the conversation in the person-in-environment perspective. Together, we move beyond pathologizing individuals to examine how relationships, environments, and larger systems shape functioning and behavior. Dr. Blanchard highlights the importance of collaboration, curiosity, and shared meaning-making, emphasizing a systems-oriented lens where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This episode invites practitioners to rethink assessment and intervention through a more relational, contextual, and humane framework. Dr. Ray Blanchard earned his PhD in Counseling from Montclair State University, specializing in school mental health and LGBTQ issues. With over 10 years of bilingual clinical and supervisory experience, he has worked extensively with children and adolescents in NYC schools. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor and Clinical Coordinator in Molloy University's Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program. 

Send us feedback or episode suggestions.In the first episode of Patterns, Chris Strahl sits down with Dave Brown, design leader at Qualtrics, to explore what modern systems thinking looks like in an AI-driven product landscape. Moving beyond traditional notions of software design, the conversation reframes product creation as a shift from a single golden path toward a world where every experience is effectively an edge case. Together, they unpack why context, not features, is becoming the primary design material and how AI is forcing teams to rethink how systems are structured, constrained, and evolved.Drawing on his experience leading AI and ML initiatives at AWS and now at Qualtrics, Dave explores how designers and builders can shape better outcomes by designing for context, learning loops, and adaptability. The discussion spans designing for AI versus designing with AI, the rise of compound engineering, and the collapse of rigid boundaries between design, product, and engineering. Rather than shipping static features, the future points toward systems that learn continuously, respond in real time, and improve through every interaction.Key takeawaysContext is the core design challenge of 2026, shaping how AI systems behave, adapt, and deliver value.Product systems are moving from golden paths to infinite edge cases, driven by personalization and real-time decision making.Designing for AI means creating learning loops, where systems improve through continuous feedback rather than static rules.Compound engineering reframes software creation around systems that get smarter over time, collapsing traditional role boundaries.View the transcript of this episode.Check out our upcoming events.If you want to get in touch with the show, ask some questions, or tell us what you think, send us a message over on LinkedIn.GuestDave Brown is a design leader at Qualtrics, where he focuses on AI initiatives and the evolution of the company's design system.

The Word of God is truth — yet Scripture is often pulled out of context and reshaped to support religious tradition rather than Biblical truth. In this episode, Michael Rood exposes one of the most misused and misunderstood phrases in the Bible — a phrase so over-quoted that it has become the epitome of hyperbole in modern Christianity. Learn how context was lost, meaning was distorted, and how returning to the original intent of Scripture restores truth and clarity. If you’ve ever wondered how deception enters theology, this teaching will challenge everything you thought you knew. Truth matters. Context matters. Scripture interprets Scripture.

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: CRM - Contact Relationship Management Brief history How old: created in Apr 2007 by Allie Micka, but the Steve Ayers aka bluegeek9 took over the namespace Versions available: 1.0.0-beta2, which works with Drupal 11.1 or newer Maintainership Actively maintained, latest release just a day ago Security coverage: opted in, but needs a stable release Test coverage Number of open issues: 73 open issues, but all bugs have been marked as fixed Usage stats: 10 sites Module features and usage Listeners may remember some mention of the CRM module in the conversation about the Member Platform initiative back in episode 512 As a reminder, something other than standard Drupal user accounts is useful for working with contact information for people where you may not have all the criteria necessary for a Drupal user account, for example an email address. Also, a dedicated system can make it easier to model relationships between contacts, and provide additional capabilities. It's worth noting that this module defines CRM as Contact Relationship Management, not assuming that the data is associated with "customers" or "constituents" as some other solutions do At its heart, CRM defines three new entity types: contacts, contact methods, and relationships. Each of these can have fieldable bundles, and provides some default examples: Person, Household, and Organization for contacts; Address, Email, and Telephone for contact methods; and Head of household, Spouse, Employee, and Member for relationships Out of the box CRM includes integrations with other popular modules like Group and Context, in addition to a variety of Drupal core systems like views and search As previously mentioned CRM is intended to be the foundational data layer of the Member Platform, but is also a key element of the Open Knowledge distribution, meant to allow using Drupal as a collaborative knowledge base and learning platform

Send us a text In this episode, we follow Moses as he shifts from recounting laws and history to revealing the deeper moral and spiritual meaning behind Israel's journey. He explores why people so often fail to recognize God's presence, how gratitude fades, and why following the stubbornness of the heart can endanger an entire community. Moses warns of the consequences of turning away from God, yet offers hope through repentance, restoration, and God's promise to “circumcise the heart.” He reminds the people that the Torah is not distant or impossible, but close, understandable, and meant to be lived. The message culminates in a powerful choice set before every generation: life or death, blessing or curse—choose life. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

What does it actually mean to love—not just in theory, but in real life? In this episode, Fr. Michael Trummer is joined by Fr. Christopher Trummer and Mike Nolan for a deep, honest conversation on love (charity) as the greatest theological virtue. Moving beyond clichés and sentimentality, they explore why love is both a gift of grace and something we must actively cooperate with—and why knowing about love is very different from actually living it. The conversation touches on: Why love is the only virtue that endures into heaven How love is fulfilled not by doing more, but by delighting in the other The difference between Christian love and merely “being nice” Why loving difficult people is essential for spiritual growth How unhealed wounds and failure to receive love make loving others so hard The relationship between agape (self-giving love) and eros (delight and desire) Why heaven is not a glorified vacation—but perfect communion This episode challenges listeners to examine whether their love is rooted in busyness, duty, and performance—or in real communion, hope, and grace. It's a practical, demanding, and deeply hopeful vision of love as preparation for heaven and participation in God's own life.    "Support Our Mission through Patreon patreon.com/TheNCLPodcast"   00:00 Introduction to Theological Virtues 00:58 The Paradox of Love and Grace 02:07 Love in the Context of Faith and Hope 03:38 The Uniqueness of Christian Love 08:21 Love as Preparation for Heaven 12:09 The Role of Emotions in Love 22:43 The Challenge of Loving Difficult People 25:55 Integrating Agape and Eros 41:35 Understanding Self-Agreement and Interior Brokenness 42:26 The Difficulty of Receiving Love 42:48 The Trinity and the Nature of Love 44:05 The Impact of Being Loved 44:43 The Heart Magnifies What It Receives 47:36 The Role of Security in Love 48:41 Experiencing True Friendship and Love 54:48 The Importance of Hope in Love 59:19 Patience and the Unveiling of Love 01:06:36 The Impossible Vocation of Love 01:11:55 The Necessity of Gentleness in Love 01:17:04 Closing Thoughts and Prayer

For our "Sunday Context" series, we build on this past week's coversation about the Battle of New Orleans with a look at the largest slave rebellion in US history, led by Charles Deslondes, which took place just outside of New Orleans in 1811. Like the story of the War of 1812, this involved the mix of ethnic, political, and cultural forces that only New Orleans has -- and highlights the way in which the future of slavery would become the defining issue of the era.Join our America250 newsletter community!

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 01/24/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS On the week Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s federal holiday is observed in the US, several little non-white boys and little non-white girls had their hands shackled by ICE agents for detention. Reports indicate children as young as 2 years old were detained this week. Across the pond in Zimbabwe, White farmers are asking that President Trump reverse the late Robert Mugabe's attempted counter-racist agricultural reforms. This parallels Trump and Elon Musk's claims that people classified as White in South Africa are being mistreated. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Notes Matthew 5:1-12 Micah 6:1-8 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy explore the Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew, Micah 6's call for justice and humility, and the message of the cross in 1 Corinthians. They discuss the importance of community relationships in ministry, the depth of the Beatitudes, and the implications of Micah's message for contemporary faith practice. The conversation emphasizes the need for justice, mercy, and humility in the Christian life, while also addressing the foolishness of worldly wisdom in light of God's truth. Takeaways The Beatitudes highlight the values of the Kingdom of God. Building relationships with other Christian communities is essential for support during crises. Micah 6 emphasizes justice, mercy, and humility as core requirements from God. The message of the cross challenges worldly wisdom and power structures. Preachers should focus on the heart of the Beatitudes rather than just the text. Community support is vital for those mourning or in need. The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom. God chooses the lowly and foolish to confound the wise. The Beatitudes can be explored in depth, offering rich material for sermons. Understanding the context of scripture enhances its application in today's world.
