Augustine the African: Life, Conversion, and Conflict Guest: Professor Catherine Conybeare Professor Catherine Conybeare discusses Augustine the African, born in Tagaste in North Africa, who spoke Latin but was not fluent in Punic. Augustine moved to Milan, where his Christian mother, Monica, orchestrated an advantageous marriage, forcing him to cruelly separate from his partner of fourteen years and their son. After converting to Christianity and returning to Africa, he was forcibly ordained in Hippo. Augustine employed his rhetorical training, influenced by Cicero, to combat Donatism, a distinctively North African church movement that challenged orthodox Christian authority.

SHOW 10-31-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT NUKES, FIRST HOUR 9-915 Vegas Pricing, California Politics, and Fire Negligence Guest: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports on Las Vegas, where MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle admitted that high pricing strategies—including $12 coffee and $26 bottled water—were driving tourists away and causing massive revenue losses. In California, the $1.5 billion state capital refurbishment project was shrouded in secrecy, with granite quarried in California being sent to Italy for stonework to avoid high labor costs and state safety regulations. Additionally, a lawsuit alleges that LA Fire Department negligence in handling the initial Palisades fire led directly to the massive conflagration that destroyed the neighborhood. 915-930 Social Security Reform and Means Testing Guest: Veronique de Rugy Veronique de Rugy discusses the looming Social Security funding deadline around 2033, after which benefits face an automatic cut exceeding twenty percent if Congress fails to act decisively. She warns that perpetually borrowing to cover the shortfall represents the worst policy option, potentially leading to massive debt accumulation and inflation. De Rugy proposes means testing benefits as the fairest reform approach, arguing that Social Security currently transfers money from the relatively young and poor to the relatively old and wealthy, justifying progressive benefit reductions without raising taxes or disrupting the system for those most dependent on it. 930-945 Economic Indicators and AI in Business Guest: Gene Marks Gene Marks shared mixed economic indicators across the United States: slow activity in Las Vegas and struggling farm equipment manufacturers offset by busy utility distribution contractors benefiting from infrastructure spending programs. His main focus centered on artificial intelligence, advising businesses to integrate AI assistants like Grok or Claude to boost workplace productivity substantially. Marks cautioned that reliance on cloud infrastructure, highlighted by the recent AWS outage, combined with concerns about data privacy and security necessitate accepting calculated risks for potentially high rewards. 945-1000 Economic Indicators and AI in Business Guest: Gene Marks Gene Marks shared mixed economic indicators across the United States: slow activity in Las Vegas and struggling farm equipment manufacturers offset by busy utility distribution contractors benefiting from infrastructure spending programs.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Local Economies: Unexpected Closures and Steady Growth Guest: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports on unusual economic fault lines in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where a manufacturer and two restaurant chains closed due to slow business, though a major economic collapse is not imminent. Travel remained busy, and RV manufacturing appears undiminished despite economic headwinds. In Indiana, business was steady and resilient. McTague highlighted the entrepreneurial success of a Hobart, Indiana, family who transformed a one-hundred-acre apple farm into a major tourist attraction, generating significant revenue through simple, family-friendly activities and demonstrating creative economic adaptation. 1015-1030 Canadian National Unity and Alberta's Grievances Guest: Conrad Black Conrad Black reports on a debate between former Prime Ministers Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper regarding Canadian national unity, focusing on Alberta's profound discontent. Resource-rich Alberta feels unfairly treated and prevented from profiting from oil and gas development due to federal opposition to pipeline construction. Harper warned of serious national problems if the new government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, remains inflexible on energy policy. Black notes that while Canada's political institutions are durable, flexibility is required to maintain unity and coherence across diverse regions. 1030-1045 Executive Power and Constitutional Constraints Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes an executive order creating a five-hundred-person National Guard rapid response force per state for civil disturbances. He argues this improperly expands presidential power, usurping Congress's Article I authority over the militia. Epstein views this as an authoritarian extension of unitary executive theory that violates constitutional federalism. He also notes that pursuing alleged narco-terrorists in Venezuela without a Congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force is legally tenuous, as drug running constitutes a crime rather than an act of war, making military action constitutionally questionable. 1045-1100 Executive Power and Constitutional Constraints Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes an executive order creating a five-hundred-person National Guard rapid response force per state for civil disturbances.

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Nuclear Testing and Proliferation Concerns Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski discusses President Trump's comments on resuming nuclear testing, suggesting Trump may favor a full yield test, last conducted in 1992, over current subcritical testing protocols. The United States maintains a formal moratorium on explosive nuclear testing. Sokolski also addresses proliferation risks associated with the United States potentially helping South Korea build nuclear-powered submarines and enabling South Korea to manufacture its own nuclear fuel. Such action would place Korea weeks away from building nuclear weapons, a development likely to provoke a strong response from Japan and destabilize the region. 1215-1230 Nuclear Testing and Proliferation Concerns Guest: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski discusses President Trump's comments on resuming nuclear testing, suggesting Trump may favor a full yield test, last conducted in 1992, over current subcritical testing protocols.

China and Blue Origin are deemed significantly behind in their lunar efforts. Zimmerman also covers other segments including A Space Mobile competing with Starlink, semiconductor manufacturing in space, the X59 project becoming obsolete due to private innovation, and accessible Martian ice at a potential Starship landing site. The convergence of private sector capabilities and reduced government constraints suggests a fundamental shift in space exploration dynamics. 1245-100 AM Space Race and Private Industry Guest: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman discusses how SpaceX's privately funded Starship program is positioned to beat NASA, China, and Russia in establishing a lunar base, operating independently of the struggling Artemis program.

Every subscription box owner hits a wall. Growth slows down. The excitement you once felt starts to fade. You check your numbers and realize things have stalled. Stalling doesn't mean you've failed. It just means it's time for a reset. Most of the time, growth slows because you've either tapped out your current audience or haven't been visible enough lately. The good news? You don't have to overhaul everything. You just need to re-energize a few key areas to spark fresh momentum. In this quick Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm walking you through how to restart your momentum by focusing on three key areas that move the needle: growing your email list, showing up intentionally on social media, and running short, smart marketing bursts between launches. Reset #1: Grow Your Email List (Again) Your email list is your highest-converting asset, and when growth stalls, chances are your list has stalled, too. Ask yourself: Am I actively growing my list this week? If not, start here. Try a giveaway, launch a new lead magnet, or add a pop-up to your site. Promote your opt-in more often than feels comfortable. Remember, most people haven't seen it yet! Reset #2: Grow Your Following with Intention People can't buy from you if they don't know you exist. Audit your last six social media posts. Do they speak directly to your ideal subscriber? If not, shift your focus to connection: Share behind-the-scenes peeks of product selection or packing days. Spotlight subscriber stories or testimonials. Create simple reels using B-roll and overlay text. Share content that reflects your box's niche or transformation. Engagement comes first. Conversion follows. Reset #3: Run Short-Burst Marketing Campaigns You don't need to wait for “launch week” to grow. Between launches, run small but mighty campaigns:  3-day waitlist push Flash freebie bonus Subscriber referral challenge Simple paid ad paired with a short funnel sequence. Think of these as mini-launches that keep your energy and your subscriber list growing all year long. Bonus Reset Tips If you're ready to dig deeper, try these quick wins: Audit your list: scrub cold leads and segment by subscribers, leads, and past customers. Update your website: make sure it's clear who your box is for and why they need it. Re-engage dormant leads: send a short, two-part reactivation sequence. Ask your audience: use Instagram polls or a quick quiz to find out what's holding them back from subscribing. Take Action Choose one of these resets and take action today. Whether it's creating a new lead magnet, sharing a behind-the-scenes post, or running a 3-day waitlist push, do something that moves you closer to your next subscriber. Join me for this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, where we'll hit the reset button together and get your subscriber growth moving again, one simple action at a time.

Whether you're a job seeker trying to get noticed by recruiters, an executive positioning for a board seat, a consultant building authority, or a business owner looking for visibility—LinkedIn is your most powerful career asset. But most people are doing it completely wrong.In this video, I'm breaking down the exact 3-phase strategy to grow from 0 to 5,000+ LinkedIn followers—and why hitting that number means you'll never have to worry about your next opportunity again. No more cold applying. No more waiting for someone to discover you. This is how you make opportunities come to YOU.This isn't generic LinkedIn advice. This is the real system I use with my clients at Resume Assassin to help professionals at every level turn LinkedIn into their personal opportunity engine.Here's what we cover:✅ Why 5K followers is the credibility threshold that opens doors to consulting gigs, board seats, speaking opportunities, and executive roles  ✅ The 3-phase blueprint: 0-1K, 1K-5K, and scaling beyond with authority  ✅ Profile weaponization: How to position yourself as THE expert in your space  ✅ The Sales Navigator strategy for connecting with decision-makers (not just recruiters)  ✅ Why you should ENGAGE before you CREATE (this changes everything)  ✅ The 60/30/10 content framework that builds authority and trust at scale  ✅ How to stand out in a sea of AI-generated LinkedIn noise with YOUR voice and brand  ✅ Conversion mechanisms that turn followers into clients, speaking gigs, board invitations, and executive opportunities  ✅ Real client stories: From corporate exec to $150K consulting contracts, VP roles without applying, paid speaking gigs from LinkedIn reach The truth about LinkedIn in 2025: Everyone's pumping out AI-generated content that sounds exactly the same. The professionals who will dominate—whether you're climbing the corporate ladder or building your own brand—are the ones who show up authentically with their own voice, stories, and perspective.

In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court of India quashed multiple FIRs filed under Uttar Pradesh's anti-conversion law on October 17, 2025. The court found that the FIRs were marred by “legal flaws, procedural errors, and lacked credible evidence”, and ruled that continuing such prosecutions would amount to a “travesty of justice”. The ruling is expected to have far-reaching implications for the State, and is being seen as a critical pushback against the misuse of these laws as instruments of intimidation and persecution. The decision also comes at a time when the Supreme Court in a separate case is considering the constitutional validity of the anti-conversion laws passed by multiple States. So, what are the implications of the SC quashing the FIRs in UP? What is the ground reality in the States that have enacted these laws? And are they safeguarding citizens from forced conversion or enabling the policing of personal belief and identity?

With the NBA season just getting started, Jimmy sits down with Utah Jazz legend Thurl “Big T” Bailey for a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation. Thurl looks back on being the No. 7 pick in 1983, falling in love with Utah and its fans, and the lessons his mom taught him about letting basketball open doors to serve the community. He also relives NC State's iconic 1983 title run with Jimmy V—manifesting by “practicing” cutting down the nets, the game plan against Phi Slama Jama, and why leadership, belief, and defense still win.The conversation turns deeply personal as Thurl shares his journey of faith and conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, meeting his wife, and how their love endured family pushback before ultimately bringing everyone together. They wrap with candid Jazz talk—young core optimism, what it takes for small-market contenders today, ideas to spice up the NBA (U.S. vs. World All-Star), and why Ryan Smith's vision across Utah sports has Thurl genuinely excited.00:00 Introduction01:30 Thurl Bailey on joining the Utah Jazz and embracing Utah06:30 The legendary NC State championship run with Jim Valvano13:00 Thurl's faith journey and conversion to the LDS Church17:00 Love, family challenges, and lessons in forgiveness22:00 Finding purpose beyond basketball and serving others23:00 The future of the Utah Jazz and today's NBA31:49 Outro

Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé comment la teinture végétale peut transformer non seulement votre couleur de cheveux, mais aussi votre approche de la beauté ? Dans cet épisode captivant d'ArtEcoVert, Pauline Leroux, ingénieure agronome et fervente défenseure de la couleur végétale, reçoit Sylvie Prunier, coiffeuse renommée et experte en coloration capillaire à base de plantes tinctoriales. Ensemble, elles plongent dans l'univers fascinant des colorants végétaux, explorant les avantages et les défis de cette méthode de coloration respectueuse de l'environnement. Sylvie partage son parcours inspirant, racontant comment elle a fait le saut d'une carrière traditionnelle vers l'utilisation de produits biosourcés, en mettant l'accent sur les plantes telles que l'indigo et la garance. Ce changement de cap n'est pas qu'une simple tendance ; il répond à une demande croissante pour des solutions capillaires plus saines, qui respectent à la fois notre corps et notre planète. En effet, la coloration végétale ne se limite pas à une simple esthétique, elle s'inscrit dans une démarche éthique et durable. Au cours de cette discussion enrichissante, elles abordent également les idées reçues concernant la teinture végétale, notamment sa capacité à couvrir les cheveux blancs et la durée d'application. Sylvie souligne l'importance cruciale de la formation pour les coiffeurs qui souhaitent se spécialiser dans le végétal, car le passage aux colorants végétaux nécessite un changement d'approche et de technique. Les pigments végétaux, les tanins et les fibres naturelles offrent une palette de nuances infinies, mais leur maîtrise demande un savoir-faire spécifique. En conclusion, cet épisode met en lumière la nécessité d'une communication claire et d'une sensibilisation accrue pour faire évoluer les perceptions autour de la coloration capillaire à base de plantes. Sylvie et Pauline encouragent les professionnels de la coiffure à s'engager dans cette voie, en mettant en avant les bienfaits des colorants biosourcés et en partageant des expériences concrètes. Rejoignez-nous pour découvrir comment l'agriculture tinctoriale et les jardins de plantes tinctoriales peuvent redéfinir notre rapport à la couleur et à la beauté. Ne manquez pas cet épisode inspirant d'ArtEcoVert qui vous ouvrira les portes d'un monde où la couleur végétale rime avec éthique et respect de l'environnement. Belle écoute !

Near-Death experiences, demon-possessed cars, miraculous lottery wins, and miracles that seem absolutely unbelievable – this week on the show I'm by Dr. John Sottosanti, an atheist surgeon, to tell his outrageous conversion to Catholicism and a deeper faith in Christ. Raised nominally Catholic, John drifted away from the faith an into a successful dental practice but was hounded – haunted, even – by the Catholicism of his childhood. Confronted, again and again, by the most incredible miracles this is the story of the "Hound of Heaven," and His pursuit of even the one lost sheep – until he came back into the fold. This is such an amazing story. John is an incredible storyteller!For more from John visit his website. Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Ex-Muslim commentator Ridvan Aydemir (Apostate Prophet) returns to Jerusalem after converting to Christianity, debunking claims that Christians are mistreated in Israel and blasting Western media narratives. He argues the core doctrines of Islam—not just “radicals”—drive extremism, cites the Hamas charter, urges Muslims to leave Islam and warns Europe could face separatist Muslim autonomy movements. He calls Turkey's Erdogan a bluffer, says he feels safer in Israel than in London and urges “peace through strength.”

As we begin to wrap up the Old Testament, Fr. Mike reflects on our reading from Sirach and what we have already learned on this journey through the Bible. He emphasizes that Scripture encourages us to rise again from our sin and return to God, because our God always picks us up again with his mercy. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 4, Sirach 47-49, and Proverbs 24:13-16. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A feast day, a friend, and a fight worth entering. We set the stage with Saint John Paul II, the Eucharist, and Our Lady of Fatima, then welcome John Preiss, a Catholic convert and director of the Fatima Family Apostolate, to share how a quiet hour before the Blessed Sacrament can upend a life, launch a mission, and heal a home. John's story moves from Lutheran roots and cassette-tape apologetics to a providential friendship with Fr. Robert J. Fox, the beloved author and youth leader who formed generations through Fatima. A double “bell” moment in adoration confirmed John's call to serve and eventually steward Fr. Fox's legacy through a museum, a family-focused apostolate, and a renewed edition of a rich book on the Eucharist.Together we trace the thread: why Jesus' words “This is my body” demand a response; how adoration calms anxiety and clarifies decisions; and why the final battle over marriage and the family calls for fathers present at home, mothers rooted in hope, and children formed by truth. If your heart feels restless, if your home feels thin, or if you're searching for clarity in a loud world, this conversation offers a simple path: sit before Jesus, ask boldly, listen deeply, and act faithfully. Find the Fatima Family Apostolate at fatimafamily.org, and get Fr. Fox's book, Eucharist, Heaven and Earth Meet via Sophia Institute Press If this moved you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find their way back to the Eucharistic heart of the Church.Here are the links to Jack's latest Substack : The Plan of Life and the Christian Vocation: To Love as God Loves and Sergeant Columban Meets Padre Pioat X https://x.com/JP2RenewalSupport the show

Fr. Mike provides context to the God-centered perspective of 2 Maccabees and compares it to the more secular perspective provided by 1 Maccabees. He challenges us to reflect on our days with the lens of 2 Maccabees - acknowledging God's presence in each moment of our story. Additionally, Fr. Mike shares the miraculous conversion story of St. Mary of Egypt. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 3, Sirach 45-46, and Proverbs 24:10-12.

5. Creation, Ragnarok, and the Cautionary Tale of Post-Conversion Norse Mythology Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age Accessing Norse belief systems requires caution because the main textual sources, such as the Prose and Poetic Eddas, were written in the thirteenth century in Iceland, after the conversion to Christianity. Snorri Sturluson, a poet and politician murdered in thirteenth-century Iceland, composed the Prose Edda as a handbook to preserve the myths. Norse creation mythology describes life beginning in Ginungagap, the eternal void where the fire world (Muspel) met the ice world (Niflheim), forming the primordial ice giant Ymir. The mythological destruction, Ragnarok (the doom of the gods), involves the fire giant Surtr and Loki arriving on Naglfar, a ship terrifyingly constructed from the fingernails of dead people. 1920

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Dr. John Holcomb discuss a study on ischemia reperfusion injury related to prolonged tourniquet use in combat settings. They explore the rationale behind the study, the criteria for patient inclusion, and the assessment of limb viability. The conversation delves into the implications of compartment syndrome, the management of reperfusion injury, and the importance of training medics in tourniquet conversion and replacement. The episode emphasizes the need for continuous learning from wartime experiences to improve combat medicine practices.TakeawaysThe study focuses on ischemia-reperfusion injury after prolonged tourniquet use.A significant number of tourniquets applied in combat were unnecessary.Assessing limb viability involves the four C's: color, consistency, contractility, and capillary refill.Compartment syndrome can occur even with effective tourniquet application.Reperfusion injury management is critical to prevent acute kidney injury.Dialysis needs vary based on tourniquet duration and injury severity.Training for tourniquet conversion and replacement is essential for medics.Seasonal variations may affect injury patterns on the battlefield.Continuous reassessment is vital in trauma care.Effective pressure dressings are crucial for managing bleeding post-tourniquet.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Study on Ischemia Reperfusion Injury02:52 Understanding the Cohort and Inclusion Criteria05:48 Assessing Limb Viability and the Four C's08:47 Compartment Syndrome and Its Implications11:46 Reperfusion Injury: Assessment and Treatment14:47 Managing Potassium Load and Tourniquet Release17:50 Dialysis Needs and Outcomes20:31 Training for Tourniquet Conversion and Replacement23:46 Seasonal Variations in Injury Patterns26:31 Future Training Recommendations for Medics29:39 Pressure Dressings vs. TourniquetsFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

Can You Really Spot a Great Company Before Everyone Else Does? In this episode of REady2Scale, Jeannette Friedrich sits down with Lee McCabe, Partner at Claymore Partners and former executive at Meta, Alibaba, and Expedia. With deep experience in both technology and private equity, Lee shares how to uncover high-potential companies, particularly those hiding in “boring” sectors, by focusing on digital transformation, data-driven operations, and overlooked growth levers. Whether you're an investor, operator, or advisor, you'll gain practical insights into how leading firms are building value not just through financial engineering but through smarter marketing, better tech stacks, and operational efficiency. Key Takeaways: - Why old-school industries hold untapped value:Digitally underserved sectors like B2B and consumer services are ripe for disruption and value creation. - The power of a functional tech stack: Many businesses lack proper data infrastructure. Building a connected, insight-driven stack is step one to scaling sustainably. - What digital value creation really looks like:Private equity must shift from passive ownership to active operational involvement, especially in marketing and data analytics. - Lead generation is the real business: CEOs in services should view themselves as running lead generation engines. Conversion begins with optimised websites and media spend tracked to ROI. - AI hype versus reality: AI is not yet the silver bullet for most companies. Without basic data systems in place, AI becomes a distraction rather than a solution. - How to avoid data overload: Focus on the 10 to 15 KPIs that truly drive performance instead of drowning in dashboards and vanity metrics. - The real role of marketing agencies: Good agencies tie marketing spend directly to revenue and profitability instead of reporting on clicks and impressions. - Advising today's private equity investors: Future-leading firms will use defined operational playbooks focused on digital execution from day one rather than relying on traditional financial levers. - The compound effect of small steps: Lee shares his philosophy for building an extraordinary life: take consistent action every day, even when the direction is unclear.

Do conversion events still work for selling high-ticket offers? This question has come up twice in my membership this week alone, so I know it's weighing on a lot of minds right now. With ad costs climbing, attention spans shrinking and everyone jumping on the low-ticket funnel bandwagon, it's natural to wonder if conversion events like masterclasses, workshops or challenges are still worth your time. In this episode, I'm busting the myth that live events are dead and sharing why they're still one of the most effective methods for selling high-ticket offers when executed properly. We'll break down the three key reasons conversion events remain powerful for high-ticket sales: proximity and energy, the ability to collapse the decision gap and creating genuine urgency through live experiences rather than manufactured scarcity. I share practical strategies for creating conversion events that work today, including focusing on micro transformations, building belief and conviction and leading with certainty. If you're planning a high-ticket conversion event or wondering whether they're still worth incorporating into your marketing strategy, I know this episode will give you just the clarity and direction you need!Connect with Ellie: Doors are NOW OPEN for The Mastermind Model ellieswift.com/model  Apply for the Scalable Freedom Mastermind hereFREE Private Podcast “Inside a 7-Figure Mastermind Business” hereWebsite:         https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:     @elliehswiftFacebook Group:     www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

Ella al-Shamahi is one part Charles Darwin, one part Indiana Jones. She braves war zones and pirate-infested waters to collect fossils from prehistoric caves, fossils that help us understand the origin of our species. Her recent hit BBC / PBS series Human follows her around the globe trying to piece together the unlikely story of how early humans conquered the world.  But Ella's own origins as an evolutionary biologist are equally unlikely. She sits down with us and tells us a story she has rarely shared publicly, about how she came to believe in evolution, and how much that belief cost her. Special thanks to Misha Euceph and Hamza Syed.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Latif NasserProduced by - Jessica Yung and Pat Walterswith help from - Sarah QariFact-checking by - Diane Kellyand Edited by  - Pat Walters EPISODE CITATIONS:Videos - “Human” (https://www.bbcearth.com/shows/human), Ella's show on the BBC and PBSSignup for our newsletter!!
