Most business owners are barely scratching the surface of AI — and it's costing them speed, clarity, and competitive advantage. If you're using AI to: "Write me an email." "Create 5 social posts." "Give me some ideas." You're driving a Ferrari at 25 mph. In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy Howard break down how to stop using AI like a search engine and start using it like a strategic execution partner. This is not about better prompts. It's about Prompt Stacking — the method that turns AI into your marketing department, project manager, operations assistant, and execution engine.

In this episode, Jim Garrity - the leading expert in the country on deposition strategies and tactics - rolls out another spectacular deposition strategy you won't find anywhere else. It's the application of the PACE Method to your deposition scheduling. It will change how you draft your deposition notices forever.PACE - an acronym for Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency - was devised by the U.S. Military to ensure that if the primary plan goes haywire, there is a Plan B: an immediate go-to backup. And a Plan C, and a Plan D. It sharply increases the odds of mission success because there are no debates or delays when one plan fails. Everyone switches to the next layer of redundancy.Here, Garrity tells you how to apply PACE to deposition scheduling, so that when your primary plan for deposing a witness - say, an in-person deposition - cannot proceed, you (and all other participants) immediately switch to your alternate plans.As always, thanks for listening to the number #1 podcast in the world devoted exclusively to deposition strategies and tactics for litigators handling civil, administrative, arbitrative, and criminal proceedings.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:1. Master the Fundamentals, Not the Tools. Focus on learning the core skills of working with AI models rather than chasing every new tool. Understanding how base models work (like Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude) teaches you their capabilities and limitations, which applies to any tool you use. The skills stay constant even as tools change.2. Contingency and Alternative Fee Models Are Best Positioned for AI Benefits. Personal injury firms and subscription-based practices have the right incentive structure—less time equals more profit. Unlike hourly billing, these models reward efficiency gains from AI adoption, making firms more motivated to invest in learning and implementing automation.3. Beware of Errors of Omission, Not Just Hallucinations. While everyone talks about AI hallucinations (making up facts), the more dangerous problem is omissions—when AI leaves out important information. This is harder to catch and requires understanding which tools to use for which tasks (e.g., don't use Notebook LM for comprehensive medical chronologies).4. Create an “AI Office Manager” Role. Firms need someone at the intersection of legal expertise, operations knowledge, and AI skills. This person builds and maintains prompt libraries (Gems/Custom GPTs), enforces standards across the team, and manages change adoption—without requiring a full engineering team.5. Start with Gemini for Workspace Users, Then Add Specialized Tools. For most law firms, Gemini (via Google Workspace and Google's HIPAA Business Associate Addendum) offers HIPAA compliance, excellent document handling, and inline citations at a reasonable cost. Only add specialized legal AI vendors when you understand the specific limitations of base models and have clear workflow needs that justify the additional expense.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Planning is what stops "good intentions" turning into chaos. When teams skip planning, they don't just risk missing the deadline — they risk building the wrong thing, burning budget, and exhausting people on rework. A repeatable planning process keeps everyone aligned on outcomes, realities, actions, timelines, resources, and risks, so execution becomes calmer and faster. What is the planning process and why does it matter? The planning process is a repeatable way to define the outcome, map reality, set goals, design action steps, set timelines, allocate resources, plan contingencies, and track progress. It matters because most teams jump straight into the nitty gritty — meetings, tasks, and urgent emails — and mistake motion for progress. Post-pandemic (2020–2026), that "rush to action" has intensified as organisations face tighter budgets, hybrid teams, and faster competitive cycles. In multinationals (think Toyota-scale) you'll see more structure — governance, stage gates, and risk reviews — while SMEs and startups often rely on speed and intuition. Both can win, but both fail when they don't define "finished" early. In Japan, planning can be stronger in discipline but weaker in challenge if people copy seniors; in the US, planning can be faster but thinner if teams overvalue action. Do now: Write one sentence: "We will deliver ___ by ___ so that ___ improves." What is the first step in planning a project? The first step is defining the desired outcome so everyone shares the same destination. If the outcome is vague ("improve customer service"), the plan becomes a debate and execution becomes random. Better outcomes are specific, measurable, and tied to customer impact: reduce onboarding from 14 days to 3, cut defects by 20%, lift renewal rates by 5% by Q3. This is where leaders must "sell" the outcome, not just announce it. People aren't robots; they need to see why it matters, how it connects to strategy, and what trade-offs it requires. Use familiar frameworks to sharpen the outcome: SMART goals, OKRs (Objective + Key Results), or a simple "metric + deadline + owner." Consumer businesses may prioritise speed and experience; B2B firms may prioritise reliability and risk. Do now: Define 3 success measures (metric, deadline, owner) for your outcome. How do you assess the current situation before making a plan? You assess the current situation by establishing a clear baseline with facts, not opinions. You can't plan the route if you don't agree on the starting point. Capture the "as-is" reality: cycle time, backlog size, defect rate, conversion rate, churn, staffing capacity, supplier constraints, approval bottlenecks — whatever defines today's performance. Big firms may pull dashboards and market intelligence; smaller firms may rely on interviews and spreadsheets. Either works if it's accurate. This step prevents the classic argument later: "Did we actually improve?" It also exposes hidden constraints early (for example, a dependency on one overworked specialist, or a vendor lead time that makes your timeline impossible). Across cultures, the trap is the same: assumptions feel efficient until they prove expensive. Do now: List 10 baseline facts and agree: "This is our starting line." How should leaders set goals that actually get achieved? Leaders set achievable goals by breaking big targets into a hierarchy and translating them into weekly and daily units. A goal that can't be converted into actions is just a wish. Start with the outcome, then cascade: quarterly goals → monthly milestones → weekly targets → daily actions. Be realistic about constraints. Startups may set aggressive targets and iterate fast; regulated industries or complex global teams may need more conservative targets because governance, procurement, and compliance add time. In Japan, goal-setting can suffer if people avoid challenging targets to preserve harmony; in the US, it can suffer if targets are ambitious but under-resourced. Either way, align goals with capability, prioritise ruthlessly, and make ownership explicit. Do now: Build a "goal ladder" and assign one accountable owner per milestone. What makes action steps and time frames workable in the real world? Workable action steps name the work, the owner, the sequence, the dependencies, and the barriers — then lock them to real deadlines. This is where plans often collapse: the intent is clear, but the execution design is missing. Strong planning includes task allocation, coordination across teams, sequencing (what must happen first), supervision cadence, and known blockers. Then you set time frames that people respect by tying dates to deliverables, not vibes. Tools like a simple milestone calendar, a Gantt chart for complex work, or Agile sprints/Kanban for flow-based work can help — but the tool won't save you if "done" isn't defined. Deadlines should be explicit, shared, and reviewed, especially in hybrid teams spread across time zones. Do now: For each major step, write: owner, dependency, "definition of done," and due date. How do you plan resources, contingencies, and tracking so the plan survives surprises? Plans survive reality when they include honest resourcing, built-in contingencies, and simple tracking that warns you early. Resource planning isn't just budget — it's people, time, tools, approvals, and opportunity cost (what you stop doing to fund this). Under-counting resources creates rework and burnout. Contingencies turn "panic later" into "prepared now." Identify the top risks — supplier delays, staffing gaps, tech dependencies, scope creep — and pre-decide responses. Then track essentials: a few leading indicators (early warnings like backlog growth or missed handoffs) and lagging indicators (results like cost, quality, customer impact). This is classic PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act): plan carefully, execute, check frequently, and adjust fast. Do now: Define 3 risks with "If X happens, we will do Y by Z," plus 3 leading indicators to review weekly. Conclusion The planning process is not paperwork — it's how leaders create clarity, speed, and accountability. Define the outcome, baseline reality, set layered goals, design workable actions, lock timelines, allocate resources honestly, build contingencies, and track progress with early warnings. When you repeat the process, execution becomes less stressful and results become more predictable.

Tired of conversations that stall at “that's your truth”? We map a simple, humane path that starts with Jesus, honors real questions, and ends with a clear invitation to take the next step. Our framework moves in a logical sequence—objective truth, the existence of God, and the reliability of the Bible—so you always know where to begin, how far to go, and when to come back to the heart of the gospel.We walk through a five-minute way to share the core message using the Romans Road, then dig into the most useful reasons to believe: the Kalam and Contingency arguments, the Moral argument, and a suite of Design considerations that include information in DNA and our deep pull toward the beauty of creation. Along the way we show how two quick questions cut through relativism and bring the conversation back to reality without sounding combative or cold.From there, we turn to whether Scripture deserves our trust. Acts reads like lived history—names, titles, routes, local slang, and nautical detail that match what historians know. External historical sources such as Josephus and others corroborate people and events. The New Testament's manuscript evidence is both abundant and early, and archaeology keeps surfacing anchors like the Pilate inscription and Caiaphas's ossuary. Prophecy adds cumulative force, and the empty tomb remains the unavoidable center of the Christian claim.If you've ever wanted a clear, kind way to engage friends who have honest doubts, this conversation gives you a roadmap and the words to use. Start with Jesus, answer what's actually asked, and return to Jesus with a genuine, hopeful ask.

Understanding Offer Contingencies: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know Buying or selling a home in Massachusetts isn't just about the price it's about the terms. On a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, our team at Boston Connect Real Estate broke down one of the most important (and often misunderstood) parts of the transaction: offer contingencies. Whether you're a buyer preparing to write an offer or a seller reviewing one, understanding contingencies can help you avoid surprises, protect your interests, and keep a deal together from offer to closing What Is a Contingency? A contingency is a condition written into an offer that must be met for the transaction to move forward. If that condition is not satisfied, the buyer may have the right to renegotiate or walk away without losing their deposit. Contingencies are not “red flags.” They are safeguards that clarify expectations and outline how risks are handled during the transaction. Purchase Price: More Than Just a Number The purchase price itself is a contingency. Buyers and sellers alike must understand market value, not just asking price. Buyers should be educated using comparable sales (comps) from the last 6 months New construction pricing is often firmer due to rising material and labor costs Overpricing can lead to appraisal issues later even if the offer is strong A common challenge we see is buyers (or family members advising them) relying on outdated market assumptions. In today's market, especially with desirable properties and new construction, “you never pay full price” is often no longer true. Home Inspection Contingency (and the New Massachusetts Rules) One of the biggest changes in recent years is how home inspection contingencies are handled in Massachusetts. Buyers can no longer simply “waive” a home inspection in the offer. Instead, the contract now requires buyers to choose how inspection results will be evaluated, such as: Buyer's sole discretion An aggregate repair threshold (for example, repairs exceeding $10,000) A home inspection is designed to: Identify material defects Flag safety concerns Highlight deferred maintenance It is not meant to create a perfect home. Cosmetic issues and personal preferences like wanting new appliances are not the same as defects. Mortgage Contingency: Protection for Buyers and Sellers If a buyer is financing their purchase, a mortgage contingency is critical. This contingency protects the buyer if they cannot obtain financing despite making a good-faith effort. It also reassures sellers that the buyer has taken the necessary steps to qualify. Key components include: Type of loan (Conventional, FHA, VA, portfolio, etc.) Loan amount and interest rate cap Deadlines for application and commitment A pre-approval letter is essential. Without one, an offer is incomplete and risky for the seller. Cash buyers should also expect to provide proof of funds this is standard practice, not an insult. Appraisal Contingency and Appraisal Gaps An appraisal protects the lender by ensuring the home is worth the agreed-upon price. If the appraisal comes in below the purchase price, a gap is created. Buyers then have three options: Renegotiate the price Bring additional cash to closing Walk away (if protected by the contingency) In competitive markets, appraisal gaps are common and they can be stressful. Clear expectations and experienced negotiation can often keep the deal together. Home Sale Contingency: The Domino Effect Many buyers need to sell their current home before purchasing their next one. A home sale contingency allows for this but it also introduces risk for sellers. To balance that risk, sellers may include a 48-hour kick-out clause, allowing them to continue marketing the property and require the buyer to proceed without the contingency if another offer comes in. While not ideal, these contingencies are often necessary and manageable with the right strategy. Why Professional Guidance Matters Contingencies are not one-size-fits-all. The wording, timelines, and structure of each contingency can dramatically affect the outcome of a transaction. At Boston Connect Real Estate, we: Educate buyers on realistic expectations Prepare sellers for potential hurdles Anticipate issues before they derail a deal Navigate changing laws and market conditions The goal is always the same: a smooth transaction with no surprises. Thinking About Buying or Selling? If you're preparing to make a move or reviewing an offer and feeling unsure our team is here to help. A thoughtful, well-structured offer can make all the difference.

This session will examine key considerations for leaders, senders, and international travelers/workers in the areas of duty of care, risk assessment, contingency planning, security, and common pitfalls ("lessons learned") in international mission work.
This week, an interview we did with a couple of smart friends about the question: what would those of us who rely on Signal encrypted messaging do if that service were disabled in the US. First up, all participants in this discussion agree that Signal is amazing and always getting better, so this is not a take down of that app or it's developers. But the buds do think that the weakest point for Signal is the centralization of infrastructure with US-based companies. My friends did some thinking and research and put it into a website called Signal-Contingency-Plan.Info and made a zine discussing it and what they consider the best alternative for their needs an app called Delta Chat. So, for this discussion, they'll talk about how encrypted apps work, what works so great about Signal, some ups and downs of other available encrypted chat apps and how folks might rebound if Signal got choked out in this manner. As a reminder, at the end of 2024 large parts of the region I'm in lost cellular and internet service and it came back in starts and staggers over a number of months, similar for running and potable water, roads and other infrastructure we rely on. Our hope in sharing this conversation is that people will consider threat modeling to develop social plans for contingency and alternatives for the infrastructures they rely on.

Today we begin with Nick Fuentes—how did he go from a guy with Jewish friends, to someone who is proudly anti-Semitic? Why does “anti-Semitic” now have so many meanings? What are the differences between preference, discrimination, and bigotry? Then: Bill Gates changes his tune on climate change—or does he? His new memo still sounds the alarm about Carbon, but also privileges his pet projects of vaccinating the world and handing agriculture to the technologists. Finally: manta rays, how smart they are, how they respond to mirrors, and how much time they spend at the spa.*****Our sponsors:Branch Basics: Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code DARKHORSE at https://branchbasics.com/darkhorse #branchbasicspodFresh Pressed Olive Oil Club: Scrumptious & freshly harvested.

8. Monuments, Darkness, and Contingency Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier This section highlights the enduring conflict, which extended into the early 20th century through a "monument war" near Logan's Elm in Ohio. The Cresap Society funded a monument to clear their family name, leading locals to erect counter-monuments with the lament's text and a statue of Logan. Parkinson utilizes Joseph Conrad's metaphor of "the flicker" (human systems like patriotism, colonialism, and republics) attempting to illuminate the terrifying, bewildering "darkness" of the world. He notes that the aggressive colonial expansion seemed inevitable, but the specific outcomes were shaped by contingency and the biographies of individuals like Logan and Michael Cresap, whose actions were enabled and celebrated by the new American Republic. 1958

Contingencies are back — and they're anything but simple. In today's market, contingent offers are popping up left and right, and we've got stories. From getting stuck in a 60-day stalemate to crafting creative clauses that save the deal, we're sharing what it really looks like to handle contingent offers like a pro. This episode is not your typical contract rundown (although if that's what you want, check out Episode 218). Instead, we're digging into real-life examples of contingencies gone sideways and how those experiences have changed the way we approach them forever. Whether you're the listing agent fielding a “my house isn't even on the market yet” offer, or the buyer's agent trying to keep your clients from panicking mid-deal — this one's for you. Here's what we cover in this episode: The #1 mistake agents make with contingent buyers Why contingent offers feel riskier in today's buyer-driven market How to protect your seller and keep the deal alive Contingency timelines that actually work Why listing status changes matter more than you think The verbiage Katy and Alissa now add to every contingency deal What to do when your buyer panics mid-transaction How to coach buyers and sellers through backup plans (Plan A, B, and C!) Key Quotes & Takeaways “You're on a train headed nowhere — that's what it feels like when a contingency stalls.” — Alissa “Buyers see contingent status and think it's pending. Agents do too. That's the real problem.” — Katy “Don't get stuck in a 60-day trap. Put timelines and expectations in writing from the beginning.” — Alissa “If your buyer can't sleep, you've got a problem. Help them make an educated decision, not an emotional one.” — Katy Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Episode 218: Real Estate Contingencies Explained Episode 65: Buying and Selling at the Same Time Email Templates 101: https://emailtemplates101.com Agent Systems 101: https://agentsystems101.com Want to toast someone on the show?

What appraisal contingencies are—and how they protect both buyers and sellers. The other key contingencies you should know before closing. How the financing contingency works and what happens if a buyer can't secure a loan. The special protections built in for cash buyers and those using VA, FHA, or USDA loans.
