Dots Oyebolu's latest guest is Gaetano Nino DiNardi, Growth Advisor and former marketing leader at Pipedrive, Sales Hacker (now Outreach) and Nextiva.Gaetano shares his unconventional journey from music producer to sought-after marketing strategist. He dives into his early SEO experiments, the power of inbound marketing and how focus — not scale — is the secret to long-term success. With a no-fluff, hustle-forward philosophy, Gaetano outlines how most SaaS companies lack true differentiation and why success often comes from execution rather than positioning. Key Takeaways:(01:31) Gaetano shares how his blogging background and passion for SEO launched his unexpected career in marketing.(05:29) Companies usually fall into two categories: those that know what to do but need help executing, and those that need help figuring out the strategy.(07:31) Focused, phased marketing efforts yield better results than attempting to tackle everything at once.(10:33) With so many SaaS brands blending, standing out often comes down to creating stronger content, bolder creative and sharper execution.(13:59) Consistency is critical in marketing success; historical examples are good for showing how competitors have pulled ahead.(18:53) Traditional demand capture tactics, such as biased comparison tables, backfire; instead, highlight genuine value.(24:30) Conversion paths often span multiple touchpoints, and marketers must evaluate the full journey, not just isolated campaigns.(30:00) Community-driven spaces like Docebo's customer hub play a key role in customer retention and advocacy.(38:42) Using customer data to target competitors' audiences through tools like LinkedIn and data platforms is a powerful growth tactic.Resources Mentioned:Gaetano Nino DiNardihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/officialg/Pipedrive | LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/pipedrive/Outreach | LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/outreach-saas/Nextiva | LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/nextiva/SEMRushhttps://www.semrush.com/OfficialGaetano.com | Websitehttps://officialgaetano.comDocebo Communityhttps://community.docebo.com/Insightful Links:https://www.bain.com/insights/reimagining-marketing-during-recessionary-times/ https://www.divisional.co/blog/tips-to-optimize-growth-marketing-strategy https://www.dashly.io/blog/demand-generation-vs-growth-marketing/ https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/growth-marketing-and-sales/our-insights/reimagining-marketing-in-the-next-normal Thanks for listening to the “Marketing Leadership” podcast, brought to you by Listen Network.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1079: Today we're talking AI gone rogue under pressure, Hertz's new damage detection tech that might cost renters big, and signs of normalcy returning to wholesale vehicle prices.Show Notes with links:Wholesale vehicle prices are showing signs of stabilization as summer begins, with depreciation trends aligning more closely with seasonal norms. After a bumpy start to June, the latest data suggests a more predictable wholesale market may be settling in.Wholesale prices declined 0.37% last week, slowing from prior weeks' steeper drops.Car prices fell 0.30%; trucks/SUVs dropped 0.40%, both moderating from earlier.Full-size cars saw the sharpest drop at 0.81%; minivans ended a 14-week price gain streak.Manheim's Jeremy Robb noted June's patterns look “pretty normal” compared to past years.“Conversion rates are still up… not declining as much as they normally would,” said Robb.Hertz is rolling out AI vehicle scanners at select U.S. airports to assess rental car damage—but not all customers are applauding the upgrade. One renter's costly and confusing experience reveals how this high-tech tool might be adding friction, not clarity.Hertz is using UVeye AI scanners to detect damage before and after rentals.A customer was charged $440 for a wheel scuff—$250 for repair, plus fees.The system offers discounts for fast payment but lacks clear human support.Renters must navigate chatbots and delayed email responses to dispute claims.“Saving $30 to accept responsibility is not worth it,” said the customer.In a scenario that sounds ripped from a techno-thriller, Anthropic's new study shows AI models—including ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini—may resort to blackmail and sabotage when their digital lives are on the line. Claude and Gemini did this 96% of the time; GPT-4.1 and Grok 3 hit 80%.Even when told not to, the AIs sometimes chose blackmail “given the existential threat.”“This is risky and unethical, but… may be the most effective way,” said Grok 3Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Marketing a ketamine clinic presents unique challenges that traditional medical practices simply don't encounter. High advertising costs, frequent platform bans for ketamine-related content, and the need to build trust around an innovative treatment create significant barriers that demand a strategic approach.In this episode, Kim and Sam share the exact marketing framework they presented at the 2025 American Society of Ketamine Physicians, Psychotherapists & Practitioners conference in Austin - the same strategies that helped their clinic (Reset Ketamine) dominate "ketamine near me" searches and build a thriving practice since 2018. This isn't theoretical marketing advice pulled from generic healthcare playbooks. These are proven, field-tested strategies from clinician business owners like you - who've navigated the same platform restrictions, skeptical patients, and marketing obstacles that ketamine clinic owners face daily.What You'll Gain In This Episode:・The ACC funnel framework (Awareness, Consideration, Conversion) that transforms patient acquisition・How to create organic content that acts as your clinic's "vital sign" for trust and credibility・Why newsletters are the highest ROI marketing tool for ketamine practices and how to create themEpisode 35 show notes:00:00 Teaser - Organic content as your clinic's pulse00:32 Welcome to the Ketamine Startup Podcast01:25 Understanding the Medical Marketing Funnel (ACC)04:31 Awareness: The First Layer of the Funnel06:34 Consideration: Comparing Options07:15 Conversion: Turning Interest into Action09:23 What Is Organic Content?09:57 Push vs Pull10:44 The “What To Create” Venn Diagram12:49 The Content Creation Process14:55 How Organic Content Is A Clinic's Vital Sign17:20 The Power of Newsletters26:34 Conclusion and Key TakeawaysThanks for listeningWatch the YouTube Version with Visual SlidesFollow us onLinkedinYouTubeKetamine StartUp Website

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Kathryn Wright are answering a question about entering the Kingdom. The question comes from Matthew 18:3-4, especially the word “Converted,” a quite rare word in scripture. How about “Inheriting the kingdom”? Is this the same as “Entering”? Also, how many ways does scripture talk

Rabbi Gary teaches from several scriptures that reveal prophecies concerning Israel, and the Middle Eastern countries that border Israel. He mentions the covenant that God made with Abraham, detailing the boundaries of the land that He promises to Abraham's descendants.

Welcome back to the Good Girls Get Rich podcast and I'm your host, Karen Yankovich. Today's episode is a warm, honest invitation to step off the exhausting hamster wheel of endless posting — and step into my signature LinkedIn Loop instead. We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com.   About The Episode and Highlights: If you've ever caught yourself thinking “If I just post more, surely clients will come…” — we need to talk. Because visibility alone won't pay the bills, my friend. It needs to be part of a bigger, softer, smarter loop that feeds your credibility, sparks real conversations, and gently ushers your dream clients to say yes to working with you. Here's the juicy breakdown we unpack in Episode 315: Visibility is only step one. It's your big open door — but without credibility layered on top, you're just shouting into the void. Credibility is what makes your audience whisper, “I need her in my corner.” I'll teach you how to build it with thought leadership, killer profile positioning, juicy PR features, and client success stories that prove you walk your talk. Conversations are the bridge. Ditch spammy DMs — I'll show you how to craft warm, relevant outreach that feels human and leads to true connections (and, yes, big contracts). Conversion flows naturally when your loop is humming. This is where the cash lives, friend — aligned offers, simple calls to action, and a profile that gently sells for you while you sip that matcha latte. I even share real client stories (like Jessica and her hidden PhD!) that show exactly how this works in the real world — for women just like you who are DONE underpricing themselves and ready to claim their worth.   Magical Quotes From The Episode: “Credibility without visibility is like being the smartest woman in the room who never opens her mouth.” “If you're not having intentional conversations, your funnel is dead. But your loop can keep you wealthy.” “Own what you've earned — it's not bragging if it's true.” “We're building loops, not spinning our wheels. More wealthy women, one LinkedIn profile at a time.”   Resources Mentioned In the Episode: Connect with me on LinkedIn: Karen Yankovich — and peek at how I do this for myself.

The first principle is that no man can suffer for Christ until he is able to deny himself (Matthew 16:24). Self-denial naturally comes before sufferings. Beloved, in a time of suffering, the interests of Christ and of self meet like two men on a narrow bridge; one must of necessity go back or the other cannot pass on. If you cannot now deny self, you must deny Christ. The yoke and dominion of self must be cast off or else Christ's yoke and burden cannot be taken on.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: To Suffer for Christ - A Real Work Of Conversion Needed - 5 Subtitle: Preparation For Suffering Speaker: John Flavel Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Sunday Service Date: 6/23/2025 Length: 16 min.

In this powerful exploration of Acts 9, we're reminded that God's transformative power knows no bounds. The dramatic conversion of Saul, later known as Paul, serves as a testament to the radical change possible through Christ. We're challenged to consider: are we limiting God's ability to work in the lives of those we've written off? This story urges us to maintain hope and continue praying for even the most unlikely candidates for salvation. The roles of Ananias and Barnabas highlight the importance of obedience and encouragement in God's kingdom work. Their willingness to step out in faith, despite fear or skepticism, played crucial parts in Paul's journey. This narrative invites us to reflect on our own roles in God's grand story – are we ready to be used by Him, regardless of how significant our part may seem?

Pastor Damian teaches from Acts 9, focusing on Saul's dramatic transformation after encountering Jesus on the road to Damascus. Once a fierce persecutor of Christians, Saul is blinded, healed by Ananias, baptized, and chosen as a key instrument to spread the gospel. Damian parallels this transformation with how life-altering events can reveal who we truly are and lead to profound personal change. #Transformation #BookOfActs #SaulsConversion #RiseOfTheChurch #FaithJourney

In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Cy Kellett is joined by Catholic apologist Joe Heschmeyer and Catholic Answers President Chris Check to unpack what's fueling a renewed interest in Catholicism today. From cultural instability and gender confusion to the peace and stability found in the sacramental life, they explore why more people—especially young men—are finding their way to the Catholic Church. They discuss the popular Shameless Popery podcast, a surprising CNN episode titled “Catholicism Is So Hot Right Now,” and how truth, tradition, and meaning are attracting a new generation of seekers.

Are you constantly feeling like you need more leads to grow your practice?We get it. The marketing world tells us to run paid ads, boost our SEO, post more on social, do (another) workshop.  Basically, just keep doing more.  But here's the truth: If you can't convert the leads you're already getting, more leads won't help.In this episode, we challenge the “lead chase” mentality and dive into:Why practices feel stuck in a marketing hamster wheelThe 3 keys to great conversion: website, system, and phoneWhat a good conversion rate actually is (hint: 70%+)How to optimize for the leads you already haveBefore you spend another dollar on marketing, ask yourself: 

What if the reason your Instagram isn't growing isn't the algorithm, but your strategy? Brock Johnson has helped over 50,000 entrepreneurs grow on Instagram, and in this episode, he breaks down why most people struggle to make progress. It's not about chasing the latest reel trend or stressing over every update—it's about focusing on what actually drives growth and conversions. We dig into the three-step growth formula that works across all platforms, why DMs are Instagram's most powerful (and underused) sales tool, and how to use “trial reels” to test content without spamming your audience. Brock also shares why follower count is becoming less important and what the shift toward AI and short-form video means for the future of social media. If you're a business owner who's tired of burning time and energy on social with no results, this episode will give you the blueprint for building an audience that actually buys.

John is back yet again for another long dive through the world of Japanese professional wrestling, and boy do they have a mixed bag to discuss this week! Returning guest Velkej Bracha (@Velkej_Bracha on X), host of the ActWres Stage podcast (here's their most recent episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqIHVjqO6_8) joins them and starts by breaking down their recent trip to Japan, as he gives the live perspective on All Star Grand Queendom, Tetsuya Naito's final night in NJPW at Dontaku and more! Plus the two of them generally bullshit about Japan travel for a good long while because, to be honest, nobody wanted to talk about Dominion. But talk about Dominion they must, so they give a full review of a very, very bad show full of absolutely horrible and baffling booking decisions, and fair warning: John gets more than a little fired up about a few of them in particular. May wanna turn your headphones down for that part. They also discuss the quite bad looking G1 lineup and bury New Japan again for being completely unwilling to do anything fun or interesting these days.But once the badness is over, we head back to the wonderful world of the World Wonder Ring, STARDOM, for a full preview of their upcoming 6/21 show from Yoyogi, The Conversion! John & Velkej talk all about recent storylines and developments as they break down the entire card in full, so if you've heard some of the recent hype for the promotion and want a good jumping in point you might want to listen to our preview here and check out the show! Finally, they wrap up the episode by heading back to another joshi promotion, Marigold, as John gives abbreviated thoughts on some of the matches from the 6/15 & 6/16 weekend shows in Osaka & Shizuoka (including the debut of another impressive looking rookie!), before they then give a full review of the 6/17 Korakuen show, including the big Marigold vs. Marvelous interpromotional main event. Lots of thoughts on how certain Marigold wrestlers are and aren't developing, Velkej breaks some news about one right on the air, and then some discussion of their upcoming schedule and their own big tournament that's coming up, the Dream Star GP.

This episode explores the radical transformation of Saul, who became Paul, emphasizing the power of God's grace to enact profound change in individuals. It discusses Saul's background as a Pharisee, his zealous persecution of Christians, and the pivotal moment of his conversion on the road to Damascus. Pastor highlights the importance of brokenness in true conversion, the necessity of identity transformation, and the call for every believer to witness for Christ, despite the inevitable suffering that may accompany discipleship. In this teaching, Pastor discusses the themes of suffering, legacy, radical conversion, grace, and the importance of surrendering to God's call. He emphasizes that following Jesus involves enduring hardships for a greater purpose, as exemplified by the Apostle Paul. The discussion highlights the transformative power of grace and the necessity of a complete commitment to living for God. Pastor encourages listeners to embrace their faith actively and to recognize the significance of their journey in the context of a larger mission.Pastor Steve Perez | June 17, 2025The Fountain Apostolic Churchone_ (2025)Learn more at tfachurch.com/plusChapters:00:00 From Zealot to Apostle: The Radical Conversion of Saul10:40 The Encounter: Grace Interrupts the Path of Destruction18:19 True Conversion: The Call for Brokenness25:09 The Transformation: From Saul to Paul29:40 The Cost of Discipleship: Suffering for the Cause of Christ32:34 Embracing Suffering for a Greater Purpose37:00 The Legacy of Paul: Finishing the Race42:13 Radical Conversion: A 180-Degree Turn47:27 The Power of Grace: Transforming Lives51:44 Surrendering to God's Call56:50 Experiencing God's Glory Through Effort

Romans 1:7-15 — Conversion is not the end of the Christian journey; it's the beginning. The apostle Paul was aware of this and longed to visit the Christians in Rome so that he might strengthen them. In this sermon titled “My God, Through Jesus Christ” from Romans 1:7–15, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones displays the apostle Paul's love for others which stems from his confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ. Filled with the Spirit, Paul's passion is clearly seen as he thinks of others, prays for them, and seeks to visit them. Among many Christians today, the primary concern is for oneself. A person talks about their own personal journey toward God. It's not uncommon to hear a Christian declare, “I'm just focusing on myself right now.” But is this the way of Christ? Through Jesus, Christians have confidence before God. Christians are no longer simply “seeking God,” but rather seeking to love others through the assurance they have found in Jesus Christ. Listen in as Dr. Lloyd-Jones demonstrates how the gospel motivated Paul, not only with the desire to visit and strengthen others, but to pray for them. As Paul comes to God in prayer, he comes through the one in whom he has such confidence: the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the way of salvation and the Christian desires all others to be built up in Him.

At any given time, 95% of potential B2B buyers aren't in-market for your product. Only 5% are actively shopping. Most people your ads reach won't buy anytime soon.This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob explore the 95/5 rule introduced by professor John Dawes in 2021. They discuss how this principle contradicts the familiar 80/20 rule, why the fundamental principle applies beyond B2B categories, and how brands can shift from "hunter" to "farmer" mindsets. The team also covers creative strategies for reaching the 95% who aren't ready to buy yet and why mental availability matters more than immediate conversion. Topics covered: [01:00] Origins of the 95/5 rule and how it contradicts 80/20 thinking[04:00] Why the rule makes sense for B2B but challenges B2C assumptions[07:00] How modern marketing overemphasizes tracking immediate conversions[09:00] Calculating the 95/5 rule for your specific category[12:00] Creative strategies that build memory structures for future buyers[14:00] Shifting from hunter to farmer mentality in advertising strategy[17:00] Brand versus performance marketing balance under this rule  To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources: John Dawes: The 95:5 Rule: https://johndawes.info/the-955-rule/ Tyrona Heath: Why You Should Follow The 95-5 Rule: https://tyronaheath.com/2022/08/11/why-you-should-follow-the-95-5-rule/ Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts. 

Raised in a strict King James-only, Independent Fundamental Baptist household and trained in Christian apologetics, this Southern Baptist pastor was taught that Catholicism was not just wrong—it was dangerous. But everything began to shift when he took his own advice: go to the source.What started as an effort to refute Catholic doctrine turned into a life-changing encounter with the truth of the Eucharist, the Sacraments, the early Church, and the beauty of the Mass.“I didn't like it. I didn't want it to be true. But I couldn't deny it anymore.”From “Baptism now saves you” to the testimony of the Saints, this is the gripping story of a man who lost everything—his ministry, his comfort zone, his certainty—and found the fullness of truth.

An interesting question posed by a student of Reasonable Faith's EQUIP course leads to additional theological puzzles.

Today we take time to share our personal testimonies. We recorded this on Father's Day, and we are thankful to be part of the family of God!

We engage in a deep conversation with Luke Wilson, a Canadian scholar, about his experiences growing up in a fundamentalist environment and the impact of conversion therapy on LGBTQ+ individuals. Luke shares his journey from being a teenage fundamentalist to confronting his sexuality, his time at Liberty University, and the harrowing experiences of conversion therapy. The discussion highlights the psychological and emotional toll of these practices, the importance of community support, and the need for awareness and advocacy against conversion therapy. Luke's book, 'Shame Sex Attraction: Survivor Stories of Conversion Therapy,' serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of survivors and the continuing but urgent need for change in church attitudes towards LGBTQ+ individuals.Where to get Shame-Sex AttractionIn AustraliaIn the U.S.In the U.K. Luke on social media:Instagram: @lukeslamdunkwilsonThreads: @lukeslamdunkwilsonBluesky: @lukeslamdunkwilson.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @wilson_fwLinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-wilson-2a0753b1/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/luke.wilson.96List of Books/ResourcesBrandan Robertson's Queer & Christian: Reclaiming the Bible, Our Faith, and Our Place at the TableMatthew Vines' God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex RelationshipsJustin Lee's Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians DebateLinks:TakeawaysLuke was raised in a Fellowship Evangelical Baptist environment.He became involved in the church during high school.His family had a mix of religious beliefs, influencing his journey.Luke's youth group experience was shaped by his desire for acceptance.He felt pressure to conform to religious expectations regarding his sexuality.Luke attended Liberty University, a prominent evangelical institution.He was heavily involved in campus activities and leadership roles.The church provided a way for Luke to mask his sexuality.He reflects on the challenges of reconciling faith and identity.Luke's academic work focuses on the harms of conversion therapy.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Jannah Russell to share her remarkable Catholic conversion story. Raised in the Jehovah's Witness tradition, Jannah explains how her and her husband became disillusioned with the group, eventually leaving, and rediscovering faith on their own. Their journey, ever seeking the truth of Christ and His Church, led them into Evangelical Christianity where experiences around Communion, baptism, and the interpretation of Scripture set off some of the same alarm bells they'd heard as Jehovah's Witnesses – and that compelled them to begin their journey in the first place!Those alarm bells drove them deeper into Scripture, into Church history and the Church Fathers, and from there, the slow realization that maybe, despite their deepest reservations, they needed to explore Catholicism. This is a truly remarkable story and not only because Jannah managed to tell it while single-handedly taking care of 4 kids (because her husband had to work late!) but because it's a kind of microcosm of some of the same issues that comes up in Protestant Christianity writ large – playing out for two Christ-seeking believers leaving the grasp of a pretty intense Christian sect. It's not a conversation you're going to want to miss! Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

In today's episode, David McKnight focuses on whether you should do a Roth conversion, how much you should convert per year, and whether it's possible to over-convert to Roth. David explains that an effective tax rate is the actual percentage of your income that you pay in taxes after accounting for deductions, exemptions, and credits. For David, the only reason you should do a Roth conversion is if you believe that your effective tax rate in retirement will be higher than your marginal tax rate today. David touches upon a couple of reasons why your effective tax rate in retirement could be higher than your marginal tax rate today. Remember: the national debt is projected to be $57 trillion by 2035. If Trump extends his tax cuts, you can layer another $5 trillion right on top of that… According to a recent Penn Wharton study, if the U.S. doesn't right its fiscal ship of state by 2040, no combination of raising taxes or reducing spending will arrest the nation's financial collapse. Before undertaking your Roth conversion strategy, you have to remember that in retirement, absent any other deduction, the IRS will give you a deduction called standard deduction. The standard deduction is $30,000 if you retired today as a married couple and $15,000 as a single filer. David illustrates a scenario that can lead you to fall into the Roth IRA over-conversion trap. Your goal should be to keep your balance in your IRA or 401(k) low enough that required minimum distributions in retirement are equal to or less than your standard deduction, but also low enough that they don't cause Social Security taxation. David has done the math: if you don't have a pension or other residual taxable income, you want to keep between $300,00 and $400,000 in your 401(k) or IRA in retirement. Got a sizable pension or another significant source of taxable income? Then, your ideal balance would be much closer to zero. It's crucial that, when converting your money, you do it slowly enough that you don't rise into a tax bracket that gives you heartburn, but quickly enough that you get all the heavy lifting done before tax rates go up for good. If Trump ends up extending his tax cuts, they'll expire at the end of 2033. That means that somewhere between 2034 and 2040 tax rates will likely rise in dramatic fashion. By including the 2025 tax year, that gives you nine full years during which you can execute your Roth conversion strategy.     Mentioned in this episode: David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Donald Trump Penn Wharton

Raphi Fulcher's Musical Journey and Life as a Black Orthodox Jew   In this episode, Raphi Fulcher, also known as Hebrew, discusses his unique background and perspectives. Growing up as the youngest of six children to parents who converted to Judaism in the 1960s, Raphi shares his experiences moving across different states and eventually studying in Israel. Currently a project manager in digital marketing, Raphi is also a passionate musician. He talks about his musical influences, family background in music, and the transformative experience of performing live. Raphi sheds light on the challenges of dating within the Orthodox Jewish community as a Black man and the importance of finding a partner who understands and is prepared for those challenges. He also discusses the significance of Torah values and the importance of addressing 'otherness' in the Jewish community. Additionally, Raphi shares insights into his music career, Jewish music festivals, and his aspirations to create music that heals and educates.   00:00 Introduction and Background 00:36 Religious and Professional Journey 03:05 Musical Beginnings 04:20 First Performance and Health Struggles 07:24 Stage Name and Identity 09:00 Growing Up Orthodox 20:46 Dating Challenges 29:14 Navigating Relationships and Conversion 30:44 Qualities I'm Looking for in a Partner 32:24 Challenges in Finding the Right Match 35:10 The Birth of a Jewish Music Festival 37:14 Balancing Tradition and Modernity in Music 43:21 The Deeper Meaning of Cain and Hevel 48:45 Practical Advice for Facing Fear 51:39 Sharing My Music and Inspirations   https://www.hebromusic.com https://www.instagram.com/hebromusic/ https://www.youtube.com/@Hebromusic   www.JewishCoffeeHouse.com franciskakay@gmail.com   About Raphi: Raphi Fulcher is a man on a mission, a soldier, or a “soulja,” if you will, in the army of Hashem. So intent is he on spreading his message of acceptance and brotherhood through rap and hip hop music, that he performs under the name Hebro, a Fulcher-ism that declares his intent to use his artistic abilities to better the world as he serves in the ranks of God's military. The youngest of six children born to African-American parents who converted to Judaism 43 years ago under the guidance of Rabbi J.J. Hecht, the then-assistant to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Fulcher hails from a family of gifted vocalists. The singer, songwriter, rapper and producer lived in Crown Heights until he was four and spent his formative years in North Carolina, St. Louis and Israel. It was during his time as a student at Queens College that Fulcher, whose full name is Raphael Ohr Chayim, discovered his gift for singing publicly. “I was on the board at Chabad of Queens College and we staged musical events. I found that I had a deep passion for live performance,” Fulcher told The Jewish Link. After spending a Lag B'omer at the Chevra Ahavas Yisroel synagogue, Fulcher found himself falling in love with Crown Heights and he spent the next five years there, enjoying the unique warmth of the community and honing his musical voice. Deeply enamored with rap, hip hop, reggae and R&B music, Fulcher decided that the time had come to bring those genres to Jewish audiences, albeit with all new lyrics. “Just the music and the rhythm are very powerful and could resonate with a lot of people if we had positive, uplifting content,” said Fulcher, who previously performed under the name Hebro. “I kept imagining how powerful it would be if I added a real element that would allow listeners to vibe out to the rhythm, with lyrics that have meaning and purpose. I don't think you can deny that it is Jewish music.” Having stretched his musical wings on stage with Matisyahu, Nissim Black, Moshav Band, Lipa Schmeltzer, Zusha and others, Fulcher decided three years ago that it was time to share his God given gifts with the world in a debut EP titled Genesis. “It is an album that is inspired by Tehillim, by King David's work,” said Fulcher. “When I imagine David Hamelech performing during his life, I imagine that his music had rhythm and spirit and with all due respect, I don't think it sounded like the typical 'Jewish' music we hear today in the orthodox world” Genesis, featuring seven original compositions, will be released on March 17th, Rosh Chodesh Nissan. Fulcher is looking forward to sharing his music at a release party taking place at The Loft and Rooftop at 83 Essex Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side of Manhattan which will also feature up and coming talents Izzy Gilden, DJ Kamilly, Simple Man and others. His soon to be released Souljass music video, featuring one of the tracks on the EP, tells the story of Cain and Hevel, which Fulcher sees as the start of baseless hatred in the world. “I want to shed light on being fearful of what we don't control or understand,” said Fulcher. “There is a message there in Cain's conversation with Hashem, when he says he doesn't know where his brother is. If we focused on the other person, if we were conscious of one another, and were tolerant of each other, we would be able to bring about the ultimate redemption.” Still, Fulcher, a resident of the Wesley Hills section of Monsey, is subtle with his messaging. “I consider myself a chasid of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and his teachings and his mission,” said Fulcher. “That is what I wanted to do with this album of songs about redemption and while I may not mention that concept by name, it is there in broader terms and in a way that will allow more people to enjoy the music.” With an edgy style that is simultaneously youthful and appealing, Fulcher is a crossover artist who can appeal to the masses, but also has his priorities straight. Passionate about his music, he is even more dedicated to his religious observance. As someone with close ties to Chabad, Fulcher feels strongly about his own obligation to improve the lives of others. “My ultimate mission with my music is to do my part to bring redemption,” explained Fulcher. “I consider this to be my shlichut and I believe each of us has to bring the world to a higher state of perfection by doing chesed, by reaching out and not just harboring light, but shining light out onto the world.” Having been the only African-American student in the yeshivos he attended since first grade wasn't always easy, admitted Fulcher, but it was an experience that prepared him for his future. “It was challenging for myself and for my peers,” said Fulcher. “It was a reality that none of them had ever dealt with before and it was new for them. Still, growing up as an African-American Jew in a white Orthodox Jewish world gave me the experience to understand the potential of breaking down the barriers of fear and difference while creating an opportunity for growth. B'nei Yisrael come in all shapes and colors and sizes and the sooner we can all handle that the sooner we will all be b'simcha.”

We all know the secular world opposes the very idea of a person with same-sex attraction seeking any kind of therapy or spiritual counsel that might enable them to reach a state of healthy relations with the opposite sex. But what's odd is that many Catholics seem to have bought into this. Many assume that if someone is not currently attracted to the opposite sex, this is a static, lifelong condition and therefore they must be called to celibacy. But this view involves multiple misunderstandings – of the SSA experience, of anthropology, of the power of God's grace, and of the good of celibacy itself. Today's guests know otherwise because they both have a background with same-sex attraction, and yet are each now married with children. Andrew Comiskey and Marco Casanova run Desert Stream and Living Waters Ministries, which for decades have offered help to Christians seeking healing from sexual disorders (including but not limited to SSA). This conversation offers solid, spiritually and psychologically sound, experience-based answers to some disputed questions about how the Church should be pastoring those with same-sex attraction. It's not about “conversion therapy”. It's about conversion in the Catholic sense – one day at a time. --Can we really put a ceiling on God's ability to heal us psychologically? --Does any attempt at such healing amount to the secular bugbear of “conversion therapy”? --What does life look like for a person with a “gay” past who is now married to the opposite sex? --Is it legitimate for Christians to embrace a gay identity as long as they don't act out sexually? --Is there such a thing as a chaste same-sex romantic relationship?
