They explore the cultural expectations that often accompany conversion, particularly in Western societies, where individuals may approach faith with a mindset focused on personal improvement and material success. Joshua emphasizes the importance of understanding that true transformation in faith is an internal process, contrasting it with the external metrics often sought in church communities. He argues that many believers, especially younger generations, are seeking God on their own terms, which can lead to a disconnect between their expectations and the biblical understanding of discipleship.The conversation delves into the necessity of accountability and transparency in the Christian walk. Joshua highlights the dangers of a superficial faith that prioritizes public appearances over genuine internal growth. He encourages new believers to embrace a 'death to self' mentality, fostering relationships that promote honesty and accountability. The episode concludes with practical steps for new believers to engage in their faith journey, emphasizing the need for deep, meaningful relationships that challenge and support spiritual growth. Overall, this episode serves as a call to return to the core principles of Christianity, focusing on internal transformation rather than external validation.TakeawaysTrue transformation is an internal process, not external metrics.New believers often come with cultural baggage expecting God to improve their lives.Accountability is essential for genuine spiritual growth.Death to self is the first step for new believers.Relationships built on honesty are crucial for discipleship.

Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Conversion of Saint Paul The Story of the Conversion of Saint Paul Saint Paul's entire life can be explained in terms of one experience—his meeting with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In an instant, he saw that all the zeal of his dynamic personality was being wasted, like the strength of a boxer swinging wildly. Perhaps he had never seen Jesus, who was only a few years older. But he had acquired a zealot's hatred of all Jesus stood for, as he began to harass the Church: “…entering house after house and dragging out men and women, he handed them over for imprisonment” (Acts 8:3b). Now he himself was “entered,” possessed, all his energy harnessed to one goal—being a slave of Christ in the ministry of reconciliation, an instrument to help others experience the one Savior. One sentence determined his theology: “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting” (Acts 9:5b). Jesus was mysteriously identified with people—the loving group of people Saul had been running down like criminals. Jesus, he saw, was the mysterious fulfillment of all he had been blindly pursuing. From then on, his only work was to “present everyone perfect in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me” (Colossians 1:28b-29). “For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and [with] much conviction” (1 Thessalonians 1:5a). Saint Paul's life became a tireless proclaiming and living out of the message of the cross: Christians die baptismally to sin and are buried with Christ; they are dead to all that is sinful and unredeemed in the world. They are made into a new creation, already sharing Christ's victory and someday to rise from the dead like him. Through this risen Christ the Father pours out the Spirit on them, making them completely new. So Saint Paul's great message to the world was: You are saved entirely by God, not by anything you can do. Saving faith is the gift of total, free, personal and loving commitment to Christ, a commitment that then bears fruit in more “works” than the Law could ever contemplate. The conversion of Saint Paul shows that God is always willing to find us. Reflection Paul is undoubtedly hard to understand. His style often reflects the rabbinical style of argument of his day, and often his thought skips on mountaintops while we plod below. But perhaps our problems are accentuated by the fact that so many beautiful jewels have become part of the everyday coin in our Christian language.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Luke and Seth discuss "free will" vs "real choices", how to handle paradoxes in Scripture, and what the fruit of believing in sovereign mercy should look like in the life of a Christian. Check out episodes 46 (Heretical & Evangelical?), 47 (Anti-Hero), and 48 (Inability & Conversion) of the King & Culture podcast for more.

In this third episode, Kimberly walks us through the third mystery—the Proclamation of the Kingdom of God—helping us understand Jesus's mission, His role as preacher and Lord, and His divine power and authority. Furthermore, Kimberly guides us in Christ's teaching on pleasing God through faith and obedience. Whether you're watching on your own, with daughters and friends, or leading a parish study, this series is an invitation to grow as a woman of faith and grace, reflecting on the Luminous Mysteries of Jesus.

Hour 2 for 1/22/26 Drew and Maribeth pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy (1:00). Then, Drew shares the powerful story of an abortionist who converted (27:17), and John Paul II's mother's story. Caller: Doctor told me to abort (44:46), and a nurse called in with her perspective (46:50). Link: https://hopeafterabortion.com/

What if conversion isn't something you chase—but something that happens when you stop skipping steps? In this episode of Become Empowered, I share my framework Congregation → Connection → Conversion and how genuine relationships create organic momentum, clients, and opportunities—without feeling salesy. You'll walk away with one simple next step to show up in the right rooms and nurture the right connections. Link mentioned in the show:  Learn more about the Owwll community   For a long time, I worked hard creating content, building programs, and polishing the details… and still wondered why it wasn't converting the way I wanted. The breakthrough came when I realized that conversion is rarely a “marketing trick.” It's a relationship outcome—and relationships are built when we intentionally place ourselves in the right rooms and nurture genuine connections. I'll share stories from Podfest, lessons from moving from a brick-and-mortar business into the online space, and how one connection can create a ripple effect that leads to opportunities, clients, collaborations—and sometimes even the tipping point you've been waiting for. If you're ready to grow with more ease, build your visibility organically, and create conversions that feel natural (not salesy), this episode is for you. Question for you: Where is one place you can show up this week—and one connection you can nurture with intention? If this resonates, leave a review, share this episode with a friend, and remember: you are here to become the person you're meant to be and live the life you're destined to live.    

In this solo episode, I explore why feeling unsettled, impatient, or slightly off isn't a sign that something is wrong—but a signal that you're expanding into a new level of leadership. I unpack how safety, not speed, creates clarity, and why so many high-achieving women misinterpret nervous system discomfort as failure. This conversation reframes uncertainty as part of the embodiment process required for your next level of visibility, authority, and impact. I also share how slowing down, regulating your energy, and fully embodying your message allows you to hold more—more clients, more revenue, and more responsibility—without burnout. This episode is an invitation to stop forcing clarity and instead become the woman who can sustain what she's asking for. Liked this episode?

Even if they think they are, they are not confused. But man, are they uncomfortable. And we have been taught to fix that discomfort instead of listening to it and letting it be a teacher that actually guides us to the best decisions that we can make next.” - Julie Solomon  “ I'm not here to help you post and be seen. Anyone can do that. I'm here to help you post to be remembered and paid by the right people. I want you to have buyers, not followers. Because you cannot execute conversion first content from a rushed, reactive, cluttered, nervous system. It just doesn't happen. Conversion requires precision, intention, pausing, leadership. Yes, we do build content that collapses the buying gap. We need that too. But first we have to build the woman who can hold it.”  - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: ✨ Unscripted: My First In-Person Retreat in 2+ Years — Now Accepting Applications If you've felt your voice no longer matches the woman you've become, this intimate 2-day retreat in Nashville (Feb 5–6, 2026) is for you.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Bible scholar Dr. Stephen Boyce to tell the story of his conversion from Baptist to Anglican and, ultimately, into the Catholic Church. Stephen's story begins in independent Baptist churches, up through his PhD in a Baptist seminary, and through teaching and pastoring, researching the Early Church, and ultimately coming to the conclusion that his own denomination didn't look like Early Christianity. Driven by these realizations, Dr. Boyce, his wife, and kids became Anglican and, eventually, driven by the Real Presence in the Eucharist, Catholic.Dr. Boyce is someone that I've personally followed for some years. I love patristics and have appreciated his work and I couldn't be more excited to sit down with him and listen to his conversion story this week. I hope you enjoy! For more from Dr. Boyce check out his FACTS podcast on YouTube and Spotify.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

In this powerful interview, Keith Nester sits down with Garrett Hines, a former Evangelical missionary whose journey led him into the heart of the Catholic Church — and into the ancient, sacred art of iconography. Garrett shares: What first challenged his Evangelical theology How Church history and sacramental theology reshaped his faith Why iconography became central to his conversion The spiritual depth behind Catholic sacred art This is more than a conversion story — it's a testimony of truth, beauty, and coming home.

Christian faith has been politicized. Arguably, this is not new. But what we see in America and other societies has a jarring impact for those who seek a credible public Christian faith. To examine how Christian faith has been politicized in recent years, preacher and public theologian Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove joins Mark Labberton, asking what moral resistance requires in this authoritarian moment. "I couldn't know Jesus in the fullness of who Jesus is without integrating faith and justice." In this episode: Wilson-Hartgrove reflects on his Southern Baptist formation, his political awakening, and a conversion that reordered his understanding of Jesus, justice, and public life. And: Trying to understand Christian nationalism, authoritarian power, poverty and race, moral fusion movements, just war theology, the discipline of prayer, and how churches can reclaim biblical values for the common good. Episode Highlights "I couldn't know Jesus in the fullness of who Jesus is without integrating faith and justice." "The radical separation of faith from justice was a way my faith was stolen from me." "We are in an authoritarian crisis that tells its own version of reality." "Christian nationalism offers an alternative reality that very sincere people come to trust." "Prayer interrupts the liturgy of consumerism and gives us another story." About Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove is an author, preacher, and public theologian working at the intersection of Christian faith, moral movements, and public life. He serves as Assistant Director of the Yale Center for Public Theology and Public Policy and has spent more than two decades in faith-rooted movements for social change. A longtime collaborator with Bishop William J. Barber II, he has helped articulate the Moral Movement's moral framing of poverty, race, and democracy. Wilson-Hartgrove is the author of multiple books on public faith, justice, and Christian discipleship, and a co-creator of the widely used prayer resource Common Prayer. He lives in North Carolina, where his work remains grounded in local churches and communities.

Most marketers obsess over creative, funnels, automation, and landing pages…while completely ignoring the one thing that often matters most: the name. Jay and Daniel explain why your offer title, content name, or campaign headline can have a bigger impact on conversions than almost any other change you make. They break down the modifier-only test - a simple A/B test where you change just one word - and why it's one of the easiest, highest-leverage experiments in marketing. They also explain why testing tiny changes teaches you more than big rewrites, how to personalize titles for different audiences, and why most content fails at the hook before anyone even sees the value. If you want a faster path to better conversions without rebuilding everything, start with the title.

Conversion Monthly - The panel kicks off 2026 with predictions on AI-driven creative workflows, agentic shopping behaviours, and the tools reshaping Amazon seller operations. Host: Danny McMillan Panel: Sim Mahon, Dorian Gorski, Matt Kostan Episode Summary The newly rebranded Conversion Monthly show returns with its expert panel to discuss 2026 predictions for Amazon creative optimisation. The conversation covers how AI workflows have evolved since early 2025, with Dorian noting how N8N has become significantly more accessible through built-in AI assistants. Sim shares that his team can now create final, upload-ready main images in a single AI generation. The panel discusses agentic shopping and how AI-driven product discovery may fundamentally change conversion optimisation. Matt highlights the trend toward hyper-specific product positioning, where sellers create separate ASINs for the same product targeting different demographics. Danny introduces Claude's new Co-Work feature as a significant leap that removes technical barriers for sellers wanting to build automations. The panel agrees that "human in the loop" will be the defining phrase of 2026. Sim reveals his investment in 51 Folds, a prediction platform using Bayesian networks. Key Takeaways One-shot main images are now reality - AI image generation has reached the point where final, upload-ready Amazon images can be created in a single prompt Hyper-specific product positioning is trending - creating separate ASINs for the same product targeting different demographics aligns with AI recommendations Technical barriers to automation are evaporating - tools like Claude Co-Work and improved N8N AI assistants are making workflow automation accessible "Human in the loop" defines 2026 - the winning strategy combines automated data collection with human strategic oversight The big three AI providers have stabilised - Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI now dominate, reducing shiny object syndrome Video generation remains the next frontier - while image generation is solved, video still requires scene-by-scene refinement Chapter Markers 00:00 - Introduction and 2026 Outlook 00:58 - Dorian on the Pace of Change Since 2025 04:07 - N8N Accessibility and Self-Build Workflows 05:33 - One-Shot Image Generation Capabilities 07:23 - Video Generation Limitations 10:26 - Business Systems, ClickUp and Future-Proofing 14:37 - Hyper-Specific Product Positioning 20:06 - Keplo 2026 Direction 22:26 - Competitive Advantage and AI Accessibility 25:01 - The Big Three AI Providers 28:46 - 51 Folds Investment and Bayesian Prediction 33:14 - Panel 2026 Priorities 38:12 - Wrap-Up Resources Seller Sessions Website Seller Sessions YouTube Sim Mahon on LinkedIn Dorian Gorski on LinkedIn Matt Kostan on LinkedIn

How can gospel teachers help students not only learn but experience revelation in the classroom? In this episode, we talk with professor of Church history and doctrine Phil Allred about his contribution to the article "Teaching That Leads to Enduring Conversion." Dr. Allred introduces the concept of revelatory reading—an approach to scripture study that moves beyond simply reading words on a page and invites students to reflect on their thoughts and impressions, recognize the influence of the Holy Ghost, and act on personal revelation. He explains how transforming a common activity like note-taking into a spiritually reflective practice can deepen students' ability to receive guidance from the Spirit. Dr. Allred also shares practical strategies for creating a revelatory classroom, where students learn to track impressions, discern truth, and develop lifelong habits of seeking revelation. Join us as we explore how fostering revelatory habits can help students become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. Publications: "Teaching That Leads to Enduring Conversion," with Shon D.

Many business owners and coaches fall into the trap of the "cookie cutter" podcast: standard intro, standard guest questions, and zero strategy for growth. The result? You're putting in hours of work but missing the mark on lead generation and authority building. In this episode, Alesia sits down with podcast strategist Carl Richards to discuss how to stop being "invisible" and start being "seen and heard". This week, episode 257 of Podcasting Unlocked is about your podcast strategy for collaboration and conversion! Carl Richards has spent more than 25 years behind the microphone, on radio and on stage, entertaining and influencing audiences world wide. He's a 3x best selling author, TEDx Speaker and emcee, Podcast host and the founder and CEO of Carl Speaks and Podcast Solutions Made Made Simple. Carl helps coaches, consultants and other subject matter experts become the go to authority by launching world class podcasts. In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, Carl Richards is sharing the importance of collaboration and community in podcasting and actionable steps you can take right now to present yourself as an expert in your field. Carl and I also chat about the following: Ditch the "Cookie Cutter" Format: Avoid following the same standard templates and rapid-fire questions as everyone else in your niche . To win in 2026, your show must be "uniquely you," separating your brand from the "yawn podcasts" that lack personality.Reclaim Your Runway: Stop giving 95% of the airtime to your guests. You are the expert and the host; ensure you are sharing your own insights and thought leadership so the audience builds trust with you, not just your guest.Master the Strategic CTA: Don't wait until the final 30 seconds to tell people what to do. Integrate "strategically placed" and conversational calls to action throughout your episode that lead listeners to an assessment, an email list, or a discovery call.Guest with a Plan: When appearing on other shows, don't just "show up." Have a specific goal in mind, such as growing your email list, and use an easy-to-remember link to capture leads.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above. Thank you for listening!

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Claire Noel, a convert to Catholicism, with an absolutely compelling story to tell. While almost impossible to summarize Claire's story is one that needs to be heard to be appreciated. From Christianity to a major deconstruction and years in the New Age movement. Claire's story is punctuated by twist after turn including encounters with dark forces as her and her husband tried to make their way out of the New Age movement. And, ultimately, discovering that the Calvinist, Reformed faith they had rediscovered wasn't the same faith held by the apostles and the Early Church – and discovering a much more ancient, apostolic tradition in Catholicism. This conversion journey is absolutely packed with everything from encountering the rich, deep holistic teaching of the Catholic Church's Theology of the Body to observations and realizations about Christian unity and denominations, to encounters with the unmistakable, miraculous intervention of God. You won't want to miss this conversation – especially because it almost didn't happen!To find a follow Claire please visit her Instagram page.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

AI can now identify exactly where your business is losing money. Watch the new AI called "Director of Sales" exponentially grow revenue—without spending a penny more on ads—by systematically finding and fixing bottlenecks in the sales process. In this video, we demonstrate the mathematics of the Sales Process. This is a look at how AI can isolate specific "break points" in your funnel (like a low opt-in rate or missing follow-up) that act as a cap on your income. This is different than just asking ChatGPT for marketing ideas. Most AI guesses based on patterns. This AI analyzes your specific numbers (Traffic, Conversion, LTV) to find the "Lowest Hanging Fruit" that will yield the highest return. You will see the AI audit a sales process, find the part that's leaking money, and then create and help implement a plan that fixes it.

As violence erupts around the world, how must we respond to those who worship power? In Venezuela, global power has reshaped lives overnight, and Elizabeth Sendek and Julio Isaza join Mark Labberton to reflect on faith, fear, and Christian witness amid political upheaval in Latin America. "It made me question, if power is the ultimate good, then questions of morality or theology have no place. We have chosen our idol." Together they discuss how experiences of dictatorship, displacement, and pastoral caution shape Christian responses to invasion and regime change; the relationship between power and idolatry; the moral realities that come with violent and nonviolent action; fear and pastoral responsibility; the global impact of diaspora and migration; how prayer informs action; and how the church bears faithful witness under ruthless power. –––––––––––––––––– Episode Highlights "It made me question, if power is the ultimate good, then questions of morality or theology have no place. We have chosen our idol." "Prayer is a spiritual resource, valuable, needed, urgent every day, in times of peace and in times of crisis." "Prayer must also go alongside personal and collective actions in the defense of life, justice, freedom, reconciliation, and peace." "They are very cautious, because they are not sure who is in control." "We should not normalize violence just because it has always existed in history." –––––––––––––––––– About Elizabeth Sendek Elizabeth Sendek is a theologian and educator specializing in Latin American Christianity, theology and power, and the church's public witness under political violence. Her work draws from lived experience across Latin America, particularly contexts shaped by dictatorship, corruption, displacement, and ecclesial resilience. She has taught theology in academic and pastoral settings, engaging questions of ethics, political theology, and Christian responsibility in fragile societies. Sendek is widely respected for her ability to connect historical memory, biblical theology, and contemporary crises, especially regarding migration, authoritarianism, and Christian hope. Her scholarship and public engagement consistently emphasize prayer joined with concrete action, resisting both naïveté and cynicism. She speaks regularly to churches, students, and leaders seeking faithful responses to power and suffering. About Julio Isaza Julio Isaza, born in Colombia, is married to Katie Isaza and is the father of Samuel and Benjamin. He served with the Covenant Church of Colombia from 1995 to 2006 and later earned a master of divinity degree in Chicago, where he lived for six years.

It's Monday, January 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Iran regime cuts nationwide internet access as protests claim 44 lives On January 8th, Iran was plunged into a nationwide internet blackout as anti-regime protests intensified, severely restricting communication across the country as demonstrations entered their second week and the death toll reached 44, reports Fox News. Before news of the latest killings came in, President Donald Trump, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt on Thursday, issued a warning to the Iranian regime. TRUMP: “I have let them know that if they start killing people -- which they tend to do during their riots, they have lots of riots -- if they do it, we're going to hit them very hard.” HEWITT: “Do you have a message for the people of Iran, President Trump?” TRUMP: “You should feel strongly about freedom. There's nothing like freedom. You're brave people. It's a shame what's happened to your country.” Ali Safavi, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said the blackout coincided with violent confrontations in several regions. The victims were killed by the Revolutionary Guard and other security forces using live ammunition. The protests were sparked in December by the collapse of Iran's currency and soaring inflation, but they have since evolved into a broader movement demanding the overthrow of the Islamic Republic. Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Iran who are suffering. VP Vance explains Trump's Western Hemisphere foreign policy In a White House briefing, Vice President J.D. Vance explained the Trump administration's foreign policy related to the Western Hemisphere. VANCE: “This is the president of peace. One of the ways that you establish peace in your own hemisphere is to make it clear that the United States is going to be respected, that the United States is willing to take power away from criminal cartel organizations and give it to legitimate governments. “That's how we see the future of the Western Hemisphere, and we think it's going to be much more peaceful than it was, certainly under [former President] Joe Biden.” Congressman: 78% of Somali Minnesotans on welfare after 10 years During a January 7th House Oversight Committee meeting, Republican Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas, age 31, asked Brendan Ballou, a former U.S. Special Counsel at the Department of Justice, a series of questions related to the abuse of taxpayer dollars by Somali-headed households in Minnesota. GILL: “Does large scale Somali immigration make Minnesota stronger or weaker?” BALLOU: “Certainly stronger.” GILL: “Do you know what percentage of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on food stamps?” BALLOU: “No.” GILL: “54%.  Do you know what that number is for native Minnesota headed households?” BALLOU: “Well, to be clear, a majority of those …” GILL: “It's 7%. It's 7%. There's a big difference between 54% and 7%, isn't there?” BALLOU: “Excise me, sir, could I? Could I answer the question?” GILL: “Let me, let me move on. We've got a lot of questions here. What percentage of Somali-headed households in Minnesota are on Medicaid?” BALLOU: “I don't know.” GILL: “It's 73% Do you know what that number is for Minnesota native households?” BALLOU: “Again, you're using the phrase Minnesota native households, but the majority …" GILL: “The number is 18%. That's a quite an astounding difference. I think we would.” BALLOU: “Can I answer the question please?” GILL: “Let me ask you one more, and then we can go into that. What percentage of Somali-headed households are on welfare in general?” BALLOU: “I don't know." GILL: “81%. After 10 years of being in the United States, what percentage of Somali immigrant households continue to be on welfare?” BALLOU:  “I don't know.” GILL: “The number is 78%. So, even after 10 years, 78% of Somali immigrant households continue to be on welfare. Do you know what that number is for non-Somali immigrant headed households?” BALLOU: “The majority of Somali Minnesotans are as Minnesotan as any of us. They were born in the United States. It's only 8,000 of the 108,000.” GILL: “Nevertheless, the welfare usage is astoundingly different. Let me ask you again, does that make Minnesota stronger or weaker?” BALLOU: “Again, I'd like the opportunity to answer the question here. So again, the majority of Somali Minnesotans are born in the United States, as I understand.” GILL: “Okay. But what percentage of working-age Somalians, who have been in the US for 10 years or more, how many of them speak English very well?” BALLOU: “I don't know.” GILL: “About half. That seems pretty low, doesn't it?” BALLOU: “Again, I keep trying…” GILL: “Doesn't sound like something that makes our country stronger to me. And I think most Americans would agree with me on that.” Michael Reagan's legacy Michael Reagan, the adopted son of former U.S. president Ronald Reagan and his first wife, actress Jane Wyman, died of cancer on January 4th at the age of 80, reported The Epoch Times. He hosted “The Michael Reagan Show,” a nationally syndicated talk radio program, for nearly 20 years, and was a contributor to the conservative Newsmax television network. In Reagan's 1988 autobiography On the Outside Looking In and the 2004 follow-up Twice Adopted, he discussed his difficult childhood, including feelings of not belonging in his famous family, and his profound journey of faith and forgiveness. He penned Lessons My Father Taught Me in 2016, which explored the wisdom his father passed down. Christopher Ruddy, the Editor-in-Chief of NewsMax, wrote, “Mike asked his father about his plan to defeat the Soviet Union. Ronald Reagan replied, ‘It's simple, Mike. They lose. We win.' That was Reagan's genius — clarity, moral confidence, and the determination to win. “Michael believed — like his father — that Americans are part of a living chain stretching back to the Sons of Liberty. Each generation inherits the responsibility to defend freedom, share our values, and serve as a beacon of hope to the world. The torch is passed, and it must never be dropped. Ronald Reagan's greatest torchbearer was his eldest and adopted son.” Beyond physical freedom, Christ offers spiritual freedom from are sin which is the ultimate freedom. John 8:36 says, “If [Jesus], the Son, therefore, shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” Charles Spurgeon's conversion anniversary And finally, last week, on January 6th, Christians celebrated the 176th anniversary of the Christian conversion of Charles Spurgeon in 1850 at the age of 15. On his way to a scheduled appointment, a snowstorm forced him to cut short his intended journey and to turn into a Primitive Methodist chapel on Artillery Street in Colchester, England, where he believed God opened his heart to the salvation message. The text that moved him was Isaiah 45:22. It says, "Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the Earth, for I am God, and there is none else.” In April 1854, after preaching three months on probation and just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 19 years old, was called to the pastorate of London's famed New Park Street Chapel. Charles Spurgeon became known as the "Prince of Preachers,” defended the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, and opposed the liberal theological heresies in the Church of his day. May the Lord raise up more Charles Spurgeons in our day.

Rich Kahn, CEO and Co-Founder of Anura, is driven by a mission to help businesses grow by eliminating digital ad fraud that silently siphons marketing budgets. A lifelong entrepreneur and developer, Rich is passionate about ensuring that advertising dollars reach real users—not bots, malware, or human fraud. We explore Rich's journey from launching an early digital advertising platform to uncovering widespread fraud that threatened his own business—and how building an internal solution eventually led to Anura. Rich breaks down his Ad Optimization Framework—Minimize Fraud, Optimize Conversion, Refresh Content—and explains why fraud must be addressed before any meaningful optimization can occur. He also shares how ad fraud impacts ROI, why lifetime value matters more than cost-per-click, and the conviction required to build and scale a SaaS company in a crowded market. — Improve Traffic Quality by 25% Overnight with Rich Kahn Good day, dear listeners. My name is Steve Preda, the Founder of the Summit OS Group, and the creator of the Summit OS Business Operating System. And today, my guest isa Rich Kahn, the CEO and Co-founder of Anura, an ad fraud solution that monitors traffic to identify real users versus bots, malware, and human fraud. Rich, welcome to the show.  Thanks for having me today.   Well, it’s super interesting business you have and the entrepreneurial journey. So let’s start with my favorite question. What is your personal ‘Why’, and how are you manifesting it in Anura?  My personal ‘Why’ has always been to help people. Fraud is a huge problem. And it’s no longer a question of if you have fraud, it’s a question of how much fraud you have. And I’m watching people spend millions and millions of dollars on digital marketing and getting it siphoned out by fraudsters with bogus traffic. So the ‘Why’ is that, in all the businesses that I've done, I've wanted to help people grow their business. I want to help people grow their staff. I wanted to help people grow, just in general.Share on X And in this case, with the Anura, I’m able to help them identify, wasted spend, eliminate that so they can grow their marketing campaigns and grow their company. And if they grow their company, then they have to grow their staff, and it’s a good thing for everybody. Yeah, definitely. And until we talked, I was not aware that fraud is rampant, especially in ad spend. It didn't occur to me. And I kind of wonder why this is happening. But tell me how you found this problem, and why do you want to solve this, and how did you get to this point to launch a company about it?  Well, in 2003, my wife and I launched a digital marketing firm. Think of Google, but really small. So it’s text-based ads you can target by keyword, bid price, geography, audience, like it had all these targeting criteria. We launched it in 2003. By 2004, we had a nice, stable list of clients, but we started getting some complaints about the traffic quality. Something wasn’t right. And I’m a developer, so I started looking at the code and realizing, looking at all the analytics and the data, and realized that it was bad traffic, it was fraudulent traffic. So I figured, you know what? I don't want to solve fraud. I want to go out, buy a fraud solution, bolt it onto my platform, and just continue doing my business.Share on X Kind of like buying McAfee for your laptop. You just buy and let it scan and do its thing. But in 2004, it didn't exist any fraud solutions. In fact, the first commercial available fraud solution didn’t start selling until 2008 or '09. So I was a developer, and I said, we're going to lose our business if I don't do something. So I figured it out I'd build it myself, and we did. I wrote the software. It worked great. We had to continue evolving it as fraud evolved. And it got to the point where we started having clients ask—if not beg—to use our software outside of our network. And that’s when we kind of got the idea that this might be a good tool to sell by itself, as opposed to baked into our platform. And that's where we launched it, in 2017. We ended up launching a Anura as a standalone solution.  Wow. I mean, it's definitely, if this is a big problem, it's going to affect everyone who advertises. So it could be hundreds of millions of people. How can someone even make money with fraudulent traffic? How does it help them to make money?   Well, what happens is internet advertising fraud is not illegal. There’s no law that says you can’t do it. So if you do find somebody that’s doing it, it’s really difficult to prosecute them in the U.S. But a lot of it happens overseas, so it’s even worse. There’s a lot of countries that allow all kinds of stuff. So basically, what we focus on is that their job is to try to make money. And I read an article one time from another company that was doing stats on fraud detection. They said the average fraudster—and this is why they do it—makes $5 million a year. But how?  There’s a lot of different ways. It depends if they're buying from Google, Facebook, DSPs, or affiliate marketing. But I’ll give you a simple example. One example, which is affiliate marketing. A lot of companies use affiliate marketing. I think it's a $20 or $30 billion industry at this point. It's a big market. So what happens is, right now, you or I can go to Amazon and sign up for their affiliate program, and every time we send them a new client, they'll give us 5% of what they spend. So I'm getting paid on the spend, right? So what if I sent fake users there? I’m not going to get paid for anything because they're not spending money. But what if I’m the fraudster? I use stolen credit cards to make those purchases. So if the purchase gets made and shipped, I get 5%. Affiliates usually get paid net 7. So I get paid net 7, somewhere across that month, maybe the next month, the person whose credit card was stolen says, “Hey, wait a second, I recognize charges that don't belong to me.” And then the investigation starts and takes months before it comes back to Amazon and says, “Oh, you shipped out a product to a fraudulent credit card. You're not getting paid for this. We're taking the money back.” But by then, they've already shipped the product, so they're out the hard cost of the product. They've already paid out the affiliate. The affiliate has already been paid. The affiliate can continue to do that for weeks, knowing that it’s going to take months for them to get caught. Once they get caught, they just set up another account. And what they're doing is making those affiliate margins. So if they spend a hundred dollars, they make five. If they create dozens and dozens of accounts, you can quickly see how they can make a lot of money in a short period of time. That’s just one example.  Yeah. That’s very interesting. Very interesting. So, okay, that’s really cool. So you basically help people not have the fake traffic. So whatever traffic they have, it’s real. So they pay real prices for real value. That’s got to be a significant improvement in advertising efficiency. What is the kind of improvement that you see on average happening for people?  On average, it’s 25% improvement. So 25% of the marketing dollars that they’re spending is fraudulent. Now, if they buy from like Google and Facebook, it's probably around 10%—they're on the lower side. If you buy from the programmatic space, like The Trade Desk and things like that, it’s upwards of 50%, and then everything else falls in between. All the digital types of marketing. If you're doing influencer advertising, if you're doing affiliate advertising, each one has different levels of fraud that we’ve found. But on the high side is programmatic, and on the low side is probably search and social.   Okay, so this seems like a big part of optimizing an ad, and making it perform better. So what I’d like you to share with us—and we'd talked about this in the pre-call is that you have a framework for generally optimizing digital ads. So what would that look like? And one element is fraud, but what are the other elements, and how do you go about optimizing your advertisement?  Sure. Like the heaviest hitter, in my opinion, is fraud. So you start with fraud, you look at where fraud is, and you minimize that, right? The next thing you want to focus on is conversion value. Every campaign has some level of conversion. It could be as simple as a click. It could be as simple as watching a video. It could be purchasing a product. It could be generating a lead for, let’s say, Hey, save money on my car insurance, and you fill out a lead. So what you want to do is look at where that conversion takes place. First off, you want to analyze the conversions because not all conversions are real conversions. You’ll get conversions like credit cards, fake credit cards being used, or fake information being used in fill in forms, and that’s where the fraud comes in. Once you eliminate that, now you can rely on the data that you see in your conversion value, and you start optimizing your campaigns around that conversion value. So as long as hey, this source is generating me a 20% conversion, this source is generating me 10%. Guess what? I want to stop spending on the 10%, spend more than the 20% just optimizing for the conversion value. And that's what's going to get your campaign to perform at its highest level.Share on X  So what are ways to optimize conversion beyond the fraud piece? Yeah, so once fraud’s out of the game, we’ve eliminated fraud, it’s really focusing on the data. What source you buy the traffic from, what sources they get the traffic from. Because sometimes you might buy a source of traffic like Google, and it may not come from Google. It may come from one of its syndicated partners like a CNN or a weather.com or Bloomberg, somewhere where you’re not familiar with, but if they’re getting traffic, that’s their partner network. They’re getting traffic from there. So you want to identify the sources. It could be by keyword, right? You can take a look and break it down by keyword. If you're looking at Google and maybe you have certain keywords that have a much higher performance because it's a better audience to targetShare on X and then you can have some that are much lower, then you got to decide what the cutoff is. So if you say, “Hey, anything less than a 10% conversion, I'm going to get rid of. And anything greater than 10%, I'm going to buy more of.” So that’s kind of where you focus on your conversion value. And ultimately, it’s to try to maximize your conversion while still spending your budget. Because let's say if you've got a source that's converting at 80%. It's going to be far and few between, and they're going to be expensive, and the volume of traffic is going to be light, and it's not going to be enough. Because if you've got one conversion a month, that's probably not enough to survive your company on. So you got to get somewhere in between, where you get the volume and you get the conversion value that you're looking for to give you the best possible campaign.Share on X So basically, you calculate your ROI on each type of conversion, and you get to a point where you still get a positive ROI. Is there like a rule of thumb? What is the kind of ROI do you need in order for it to generally be worth taking the risk of doing the advertising and putting in the effort?  Yeah. It’s very different from client to client. It’s got to be specific to a client. And I'll give you an example. I used to work with a company called TigerDirect. They were a huge reseller of electronics, computers, computer components, and stuff like that. And they would spend $110 to generate a $20 sale. So everybody knows that’s losing money, right? You're losing $80 on every sale you generate, or whatever the number is. If they're spending $100 to generate a sale just to get a $20 sale, why would they do that?  Well, they know once they get a client in the door, they market. They used to send weekly magazines of all the new stuff that's out in the market, the new pricing index, constant email bombardments. They would call you and say, “Hey, I saw you bought recordable CDs. We have a special on recordable CDs if you're looking for them.” They would market like crazy to their client base, and they would average over $300 per client.  So that’s the lifetime value.   Right. Their lifetime value was much greater than their cost for acquisition. And they were comfortable and in a position to spend that money to acquire the client knowing that they would make the money over time. Most companies don't operate that way. Most companies operate like GEICO—they pay $15 or $20 to get somebody to fill out a form saying they want to save money on car insurance. And they may close 15% of those leads into actual deals. And when they do the math, they’re making money every single lead that they get in, the ones that convert. And on the ones they lose, they're making enough money on the wins that the losses are outweighed, and they're still making money. So again, every company, every product—it's different. I've seen the same industries, like car insurance. Let's stick with car insurance. I've seen four or five companies where I'm looking at their conversion rates. Conversion rates are different. Their ROIs are different, their spend is different—everything's different. It's just targeting different audiences.Share on X  So if I had unlimited funding, let’s say, and I want to ramp up as fast as possible, but I wanted to make it in a smart way. Is there like a rule of thumb that your lifetime value—the profit you make on a customer—has to be 3x the amount you spend on advertising? And the lifetime is measured by the profit, not the top line, but the bottom line.  Yeah, I haven't seen a specific rule of thumb to give clients. Obviously, your lifetime value of a client needs to be more than the cost to acquire that client.  And if you want to be profitable, not every company starts out profitable. Look at Uber—they were a billion-dollar company before they went profitable. They were able to raise enough money to keep everything going, because all they cared about was client acquisition.  Yeah.  Let me get as many clients and as many drivers and riders in the door, as many drivers and riders in the door as they can possibly get so they can own the market. They had a great idea. Lyft was right behind them. They didn’t care. They were able to raise enough capital to just keep spending like crazy, knowing that in the long game, once they owned the market in all the different markets they were targeting, they were going to be profitable.Share on X So they were spending like crazy.  Doesn't that mean that there are some actors in the advertising market that inflate prices because maybe they’re venture-funded, and one out of a hundred company is going to make it unicorn? And the other 99 are going to be spending money on advertising, driving up prices. So if someone comes in and they're bootstrapping, they're going to be hard-pressed to actually make a return on their Facebook ads, because there's so much demand chasing results without appropriate expectation.  Well, if there’s enough demand, then the bootstrapper can make it work. I’ve been a bootstrapper my whole life. So if you’re in a market where there’s enough demand, it’ll work. But if you're in a situation where, let's say today, you decide to come up with a rideshare app, you're going to be hard-pressed to win riders and drivers as a new bootstrapped company. Personally, I don't think Uber would be where it is today if it were bootstrapped. A business model like that required to grow fast, and they needed the capital to do it. So there are certain industries that bootstrappers just aren't going to be able to touch, because you've got a company like Uber that was losing money while acquiring all these new clients, knowing that down the road they would own the network and they would be able to be profitable. That’s a big gamble. Yeah. But it's also all the other companies that get funding but never actually make it. And the venture capitalists are spreading their risk because they invest in ten companies, and if one blows up, that's enough.  Yeah.   So that means that there’s a lot of fake demand, basically.  Well, I’m talking about the demand from the client, not demand from the company. The company has the product, and they're trying to generate demand for their product. So when I say demand, I mean demand from the customer.  No, I mean, demand for advertising.  Oh, okay. Yeah, I see what you’re saying.  So clicks.   Yeah. So there's a limited number of people that are looking for that term. You’ve got a lot of people spending money. It’s going to make it difficult to get it unless you’re spending a lot per click.   Yeah.  So that means that maybe pay-per-click advertising is not for the faint of heart.  I wouldn't say that.  Yeah.   It's not for everybody when you're talking about every industry, right? Certain industries—I’ll give you an example. Let's say you're a roofer. Pay-per-click is going to work great for you because there are only so many roofers in a given area, and there's a high demand for roofing. You can get away with spending a couple dollars a click, where it’s not going to break the bank, and you get that phone ringing. My son, for example, owns a power washing and holiday lighting company. And he does Facebook and Google ads. He’s a small company, bootstrapped, and generates plenty of demand because of that situation. But again, if he decided he wanted to compete with Uber, he'd be lost. So it really depends on the industry, Insurance. Let's say you want to start your own Rich Kahn insurance company. Well, I’m going to be competing against Allstate, Progressive, GEICO—all these companies that are spending heavily in that sector. The only way you're going to get action is to spend more per click than they do. And if I’m spending more per click, and I don’t have the scale like they do, I’m going to lose money. Yeah. Super interesting. So let’s circle back to your framework. So we talked about fraud minimization as a way to optimize ads. We talked about conversion. What's the third leg of this stool?  For me, it’s content.   So let's say you've got fraud out of the game. You optimize by campaign and your ads are showing up number one every single time, but the copy doesn't draw. Or you don't refresh the copy often enough, then it gets stale, and people see it and think, “Eh, let me try somebody new.” So they're always looking for newer content, a way to hook the client. You really have to optimize campaign copy. So again, working with Google—that's ones out there—you have the ability to put up multiple ads, multiple creatives. Their system will automatically take titles and rotate them for you so they stay unique. And then they'll push more traffic to the ones that are getting a better conversion rate or a better click-through rate. So it's about constantly staying on top of your copy. Just like when you watch TV. You'll see the same companies advertising over and over again, but it's always a different commercial because they're trying to hook you. If they played the same commercial for the last 20 years, you'd just tune it out.  Tune it out. Yeah.   Yeah. But when you see something new, it's like, “Oh, let me watch that one.” It's kind of cool. Because the commercials have to have good copy. If it's boring, stale copy, nobody's going to pay attention.  And if it's entertaining, then it's even better, right?   Exactly. If it becomes memorable and you think, “Oh my God, you've got to see this commercial I just saw, it was amazing,” that's the kind of commercial you try to build—but it's very difficult to build.  Yeah, that’s very interesting. The creative element is very important. To catch attention and keep it, it has to be creative, curiosity-inducing, and potentially entertaining. That’s wonderful.  Yeah.  So when did you decide to go all in on Anura?  Yeah. We launched it April 1st, 2017. We spent that first year trying to figure out who we were as a business. Because I'd never sold SaaS before, so I was trying to figure out—do I have a pitch deck? How do I talk to people? What works best? How do I get the person to say they're interested and want to get on a call? There was so many things that we were struggling with that first year. I don’t know if we signed up more than one or two clients that first year. By the second year, we signed up a bunch of clients because we started to figure out what was working, who we’re talking to, the right trade shows to go to, the right Google ad campaigns to run.  And as we started getting that, we started getting our traction and we started growing the client base. So I guess we would say we launched in 2017, but really went all in in 2018. That's when we saw our first couple of clients jump on the software, fall in love with it, give us case studies and reviews, and say, “I can't believe how you changed my business. This is amazing.” Once we got into the hands of a client, and we had one or two clients that really embraced it, that's when we felt, “Okay, we're onto something special. We're all in.” That was about 2018.  And then you started winding down your consulting business and went all in on the SaaS business?  Yeah. We left the Google competitor, the really small Google competitor marketing agency. We left it up for a couple years because we had some clients that were still buying and using it. As the client attrition naturally occurred, we got to a point where we said, “Okay, it's time to shut it down.” That was also around 2018–2019. Basically, in 2018 we pulled all the resources from it and just kept it running for the clients that were still there. They'd been with us for years, so we kept it stable. We weren't going to trade shows, we weren't advertising it. Support was handled by two of us, the client support, actually the whole company was run by two of us, three of us, and we just let it run for a couple of years until the last client jumped off, and then we shut it down. Yeah. Actually, that's a great approach—to evolve from a business that maybe has a ceiling, find another opportunity, start putting more time into it as it takes off, reallocate resources, use the legacy business as a cash cow, your legacy business and then once the new business takes off, then basically cut bait. That’s very interesting. And I’ve seen this happen. I’ve done it myself as well. So what's the hardest decision you've ever had to make in your business?   I’m going over the last 22 years. The hardest decision I ever had to make was firing a best friend. And unfortunately, it actually happened twice. My two best friends—one was a partner and one was an employee. We were working together, and it just got to the point where we had to go our separate ways from a business standpoint, and that hurt the relationship. We stopped talking. It was a bad breakup. And I just ran into them about a year ago, and we picked up where we left off—bygones be bygones. It was tough back then because you have a good friend, and it's like, “Oh, I want to bring my friends into the business. So I always tell new business owners when they're starting: if you're going to start the business with friends as a partner, that's different.Share on X But don't hire your friends as employees. Because if you hire them as employees and you have to make a business decision that doesn't go well for them, they're going to pull the “friend card.” And you’re going to be stuck between either getting rid of a bad employee, and I say bad, but like an employee that you need to get rid of or lose a friend. That’s tough. Friends are hard to come by, especially good friends. Especially when you get older and your kids are out of school, you're not hanging out on the sidelines at sports or having coffee with people. As you get older, there are fewer groups you hang out in, so it's harder to find friends. So it’s not worth losing a friend over business.  Yeah, I agree. I agree. I had this experience as well, and it’s it was super painful for both of us. It did impact the relationship, even though we both put up a brave face over it, but it kind of breaks the trust.  Yeah. It’s not fun.   Yeah. So, final question I want to ask you is: what is the most important question an entrepreneur should ask themselves, in your opinion?  Am I willing to not give up? Like I said, when I started this company, it wasn’t a new concept. If it’s a new concept, it's a lot easier to say, “Man, I'm going to crush this.” Because when we started this, there were probably about a half a dozen different fraud solutions in the marketplace back in 2017. There was a handful of them that were out. They were already getting a lot of traction. I think all of them were fully funded and doing really well. It’s not the greatest time in the world to enter the fraud detection market when you have traction like that—kind of like entering the market trying to compete with Uber. But I looked at it and thought, based on everything I was doing, I think we have a better product. And once we started getting that feedback from clients who use the other products and realized we had a better product, it made me more convinced that this is the direction we want to go to.Share on X We want to turn this into its own company. We want to grow it. And for me, that question is: is this something I can do and not give up on? But if it’s something like you’re like, “Ah, if it doesn't do this, I don't know,” then don't start. Because one of the things you’ll find with most entrepreneurs, successful entrepreneurs, they don’t give up, persistence. They’re can be smart about it, but persistent.   It’s also a balance. It’s a belief. Maybe this is what you’re talking about that, do you have this conviction that this is going to work out in the end?  Yeah.  So how do you know? How do you know that you are willing to not give up? What makes you be able to make this decision? Is this a decision or is this like an ongoing question that you keep asking yourself?  For me, it's: I've got to run it through my head and feel that it's an unfillable business. And then I got to feel it in my heart. If I don’t feel it in my head and my heart, I’m not going to do it. I’ve had cut dozens and dozens of great ideas, some that I think would be phenomenal even in today’s standard, but I didn't have the resources I wanted behind them. I didn't really have the heart in those businesses, so I didn't start them. I wasn't all in. Like I said before, with this business, when we started it, I was all in with my toe. And then once I started getting feedback from clients, I jumped in. Because then I knew, it wasn’t me saying I’ve got the best solution, it was my client’s telling me I got a better solution. And then as I get client after client, so now you know, you look at seven, eight years later, I’ve got new people in the office. I started working for this new fraud company. I see they’re kind of small compared to some of the other big companies out in the marketplace. And then they’re on the phone with clients who are like ranting and raving about our software. They come back—now they're all in. And that's really what I want is I want every team member to feel that, to know that they're with the right company. It's not just for me—it's for the team too. Share on X Yeah, the team. I agree. That’s super important. Well, I love that. And this whole idea of the client feedback, reinforcing the value, and making people confident to sell it is huge. Yeah.  All right. So if people would like to reach out to learn about your solution—maybe they’re advertising, they’re spending a lot of money, and they want to save the 25% without losing any conversions, or they just want to reach out and learn more about and get to know you—where should they go and how can they reach you?   I would start with anura.io or www.anura.com . We own both. And on there, we have huge amount of resources. We publish several blogs every week. We have dozens of eBooks online. We have the world’s only comprehensive guide on ad fraud, it’s about an 80 page document. So plenty of ways to learn. And then once they want to talk to somebody, once they’re ready, and like they’ve done their research and they’re ready to talk to us, they can fill out a form and we'll reach out, or they can just pick up the phone and call us. If they want to follow me on LinkedIn, that’s my social media of choice. I post videos like this on there, some wacky videos sometimes with me and my grandkids. The best way to find me is just Rich Kahn on LinkedIn. I'm easy to find.   Awesome. Well, Rich, thank you for coming and sharing your framework—the Ad Optimization Framework.

MYTHOLOGY AND THE MURDER OF SNORRI Colleague Eleanor Barraclough. Barraclough discusses the difficulty of accessing Norse beliefs, as most sources, like Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, were written post-conversion. She outlines dramatic myths, including the creation of the world from the giant Ymir and its destruction at Ragnarok, featuring a ship made from the fingernails of the dead. The segment covers Snorri's life as a politician in 13th-century Iceland during a bloody civil war. Barraclough recounts his assassination in his own basement on the orders of the Norwegian king, noting his final words were "don't strike." NUMBER 5

CONSCIENCE AND CONVERSION Colleague Mark Clifford, The Troublemaker. The 1989 Tiananmen Squaremassacre radicalized Lai, who transitioned from textiles to media, founding Next magazine and Apple Daily to champion democracy. Realizing the brutality of the Chinese Communist Party, he used his wealth to support the student movement and expose regime corruption. As the 1997 handover approached, Lai converted to Catholicism, influenced by his wife and pro-democracy peers, seeking spiritual protection and a moral anchor against the coming political storm.
