Send us a textIn this episode, Kay Suthar sits down with Victor Vento, Chief Messenger of Ventobot, to break down what ads are really for and why the best-performing ads don't feel like selling at all. Victor shares how ads are designed to create connection and experience, not pressure. He walks through how he fills rooms with the right people, why some ads fail miserably, and the wild story behind increasing a sale by 3,221% from a single $4 ad. This conversation reframes ads as a scaling tool that amplifies what you already have  not a magic fix for broken messaging.What to expect in this episode:(00:00) – Ads aren't about selling, they're about connection (04:10) – Why brands are more than expertise and skills (07:30) – What ads actually do (and what they don't) (11:45) – Why most ads fail (15:20) – How marketing relates to parenting (18:40) – The “weird” secret sauce behind ads that convert (22:10) – Scaling what already works with paid adsAbout Victor VentoVictor Vento is a conversational marketing expert and the Chief Messenger of Ventobot. He helps coaches and consultants navigate those “I don't know if this is for me” moments in conversations  without convincing, pushing, or forcing decisions.

What if you could turn regret into wisdom and self-attack into self-love? This week on Love University, we explore how to finally break the grip of regret and live with full freedom and joy. The Regret Weakness is a subtle but persistent thought pattern—the belief that your past defines your future, and that you're somehow unworthy of success, love, or happiness because of previous mistakes and failures.  Regret, unfortunately, can lead to paralysis, low self-worth, and a repeated cycle of poor choices. But when reframed into wisdom and self-acceptance, it can be one of your greatest sources of strength and clarity. Here are three essential takeaways from the episode: Separate mistakes from your identity Regret becomes destructive when it turns into self-definition. It's one thing to acknowledge a mistake—it's another to believe that an error or failure means you're fundamentally flawed. The Regret Weakness thrives on that confusion. Because of what happened in the past, you begin to believe you're “bad at relationships,” “not cut out for success,” or “too damaged to change.” But the truth is, the version of you who made those past decisions no longer exists. Healing begins when you stop dragging your old identity into your present and realize that the new you doesn't need to repeat the cycles of the past. Allow progress without perfection A common regret trap is expecting overnight transformation—then feeling like a failure when old habits resurface. But growth isn't linear. You will have setbacks—what matters is how you interpret them. If you shame yourself for every backward step, you reinforce the very patterns you're trying to break. But when you allow yourself to return, recommit, and realign—without judgment—you build emotional strength. The Regret Weakness loses its power when you understand that healing includes imperfection, and growth encompasses wisdom from lessons learned. Convert regret into learning and hope When regret lingers, it's usually because you haven't yet mined the wisdom from the experience. You're stuck in “If only…” instead of “Next time I will…” That shift—looking forward instead of backward—changes everything. Every painful memory contains valuable knowledge: what mattered to you, what you ignored, what boundary you didn't set. When you uncover that meaning, you create a new imprint—a Loving Memory—where wisdom replaces shame, and acceptance surpasses imperfection. Now regret stops being a chain and becomes a compass to the discovery of your most loving and true self.   The bottom line: Learn how to erase regret and look forward to a glorious and wonderful future.

Is your recruitment business stuck in the cycle of feast or famine? Tired of the grind of cold calling 80+ prospects just to land a single vacancy? In this power-packed episode, Jane Pettit reveals why you're making business development harder than it needs to be… and exactly how to fix it. Say goodbye to the cold calling burnout that defined recruitment in the Yellow Pages era. Jane shares her proven framework for growing your agency in 2026 through warmer, more effective strategies that won't leave you exhausted.

In the last episodes we looked at how to open the presentation. Now it's time for the part that does the heavy lifting: the main body. Most people design talks the wrong way around. This process is counterintuitive but far more effective: start with the close, then build the main body, and only then design the opening. The close defines the key message, the opening breaks through the competition for attention, and the body provides the proof.  What's the best way to design the main body of a presentation? Build the main body as chapters that prove your key message, using only your strongest supporting arguments. In a 30–40 minute talk, you can usually land three to five key points that support your main contention—so the body needs to be planned like a case, not a stream of thoughts.  This is why the design order matters: the close defines what you're trying to prove, and the body becomes the structured evidence trail that makes the close feel inevitable. Do now: Write your close in one sentence, then choose 3–5 chapter headings that directly support it.  Why should you start with the ending before building the body? Because the close defines the key message you want to impart—and the body exists to earn that close. If you don't lock the ending first, your "evidence" becomes random material you like rather than proof that persuades.  Once the close is fixed, you can design the body as a sequence of chapters that make your conclusion feel logical, not forced. Do now: Finalise the last 20 seconds first. Then your body becomes selection and sequencing—not guesswork.  How much evidence should the main body include? A lot—but only the strongest evidence. You'll always have many possible supporting points, but time is limited, so choose the best content and give it "pride of place" so the listener gets it immediately.  A useful warning from the field: when advising teams preparing business plans (like JMEC teams), you often see "diamonds" in the body that get trampled into the mud because the structure hides them. Your job is to surface the gems early, so the audience doesn't have to work hard to understand you—especially now, with decreasing concentration levels.  Do now: Rank your evidence. Put the best "gem" first in each chapter, not last.  How do you make chapters flow so the audience can follow your reasoning? Make chapters logically connect and use clear navigation—like a good novel. Your audience must be able to follow your line of reasoning without strain, and that means the transitions between chapters matter.  The navigation is the invisible structure the audience feels: "we're here, next we go there, and here's why." Without it, even good content feels messy. Do now: Write one transition sentence between every chapter that explains why the next point follows.  Why are stories essential in the main body (not just statistics)? Because people won't remember dry statistics—but they will remember a gripping story. Facts and numbers alone won't stick. Stories create mental pictures and emotional hooks that make your evidence memorable.  To make stories work, include concrete scene elements: people, places, seasons—ideally familiar to the audience—so they can "see" it in their minds.  Do now: Convert one data point into a short story with a person, a place, and a consequence.  How do you keep the main body from dragging (and stop people reaching for their phones)? Use variation in pace plus "hooks" inside each chapter to keep curiosity alive. You can't run at the same tempo the whole time—raise energy, lower tension, change rhythm—but keep movement.  Then add hooks that make people want the next sentence. A power hook example from the script: "Losing ten million dollars was the best education I ever received in business." Everyone immediately wants to know what happened, why, and what changed. That's the point: hooks don't happen by chance—you design them.  Do now: Plant 3–5 hooks across the body (one every few minutes). If you remove the hooks, you'll feel where attention dies.  What's the biggest main-body mistake professionals still make? They dump information instead of engineering engagement. Even official speeches can be a warning sign: the script recalls reading an Australian Ambassador's speech in Japanese that was packed with trade statistics and no stories—engaging content was sitting there, but couldn't be reshaped because it had to be delivered word-perfect. The lesson: don't waste good material by presenting it in a dead format.  Do now: If your chapter is "all facts," force yourself to add one story that makes the facts matter.  Conclusion The main body occupies most of your talk and does the heavy lifting to make your case—so craft it as chapters plus evidence, delivered through stories, with pace changes and hooks scattered throughout. You already earned attention with the opening—don't blow it. Keep the hooks coming, keep the logic flowing, and carry the audience all the way to the close.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Clinics are losing patients every single day, not because of price, but because of slow response times. Here's the reality: 42% of patients expect a reply within 1 hour. If you don't respond within 5 minutes, the chances of conversion drop by almost 80%. More than 60% of patients research clinics after hours, when most reception desks are closed. The good news? Artificial Intelligence is changing this completely. In this episode,we reveal how clinics are using AI to: ✅ Respond instantly to calls, enquiries, and social messages — 24/7 ✅ Automate follow-ups so no lead ever slips through the cracks ✅ Increase booking rates by up to 300% without hiring extra staff ✅ Cut no-shows and improve patient satisfaction with AI confirmations and reminders ✅ Free up staff to focus on care while AI handles repetitive tasks

Recruitment entrepreneur Kevin Downey reveals why his system thrives on cold B2B email: simple, human copy, and flawless compliance. Forget the marketing jargon and complex subject lines. Your email should mimic a voicemail: direct, conversational, and hyper-focused. Start with a clear pain point, offer a brief solution, and use a Call to Action (CTA) that only asks for a simple reply. Downey's data shows that simple, vague subject lines outperform gimmicks. Crucially, personalization should be minimal (First Name is enough)—overdoing it signals automation. Measure only the Reply Rate, ignore opens, and follow the simple rule for compliance: include a physical address and an easy opt-out.

Andrew Rappaport was raised Jewish, trained to argue, and taught to reject Jesus. But when the gospel confronted him, he couldn't argue his way out. He followed the truth of Christianity—and lost his family in the process.

In today's episode, Lori breaks down the very first stage of the client journey, Discover. This is the moment when your future clients realize you exist and start paying attention.

After reviewing over 100 messaging reviews this year inside Constantly Converting By Design and with private clients, I've noticed something: everyone sounds the same."I help you get unstuck." "I help you find alignment." "I help you build a thriving business."Here's the problem: your ideal client has already bought that promise. They've already invested in courses, hired coaches, downloaded lead magnets. They've tried multiple things in your space.When they see your messaging that says the same destination everyone else promises, they think: "I've heard this before. How is this different from the last thing that didn't work?"This episode breaks down the shift: Stop describing the destination. Start describing HOW you uniquely solve the problem.What you'll learn:

We unpack a wild 2013 study by economist M. Keith Chen: proof that the language you speak completely rewires how you save, spend, exercise, plan, and even respond to marketing. Germans retire with more wealth, smoke less, and make healthier choices… not because they're more disciplined, but because their grammar collapses the future into the present. English pushes actions into "later." German makes the future feel like right now. On this episode of Brain Driven Brands, we break down how your phrasing might be creating psychological distance without you realizing it ("you will feel better tomorrow") and how a simple tense shift ("your future self thanks you") can snap people into action instantly. We riff on examples, rewrite real campaigns in real time, and even end with a mini-rant about why AI struggles with time itself. If you sell anything to English speakers, this is a masterclass in linguistic persuasion. Tune in. Your future self… thanks you.

The trouble with targeting in business is that a lot of people don’t do it well. It reminds me of that line from one of the Godfather movies where Michael Corleone says something along the lines of, “if history has taught us nothing else, it’s that you can get to anybody.” Right? And that is now true in terms of advertising. You can get to anybody, but what is the cost? David: Hi, and welcome to the podcast. In today’s episode, co-host Jay McFarland and I discuss the trouble with targeting. Welcome back Jay. Jay: Hey, David, once again, I’m excited to be here and I’m really excited to get your feedback on this, because when you first said we’re going to talk about the trouble with targeting, I kind of thought in my head, well, isn’t that what I’m supposed to be doing? Aren’t, aren’t I supposed to be targeting? David: Oh yeah. Yeah. We definitely have to target. We definitely need to target. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with targeting. The trouble with targeting that I was thinking about is that a lot of people don’t do it, and a lot of the people who do do it maybe don’t do it as well as it can be done, and as a result, they don’t get the results they’re looking for. Some people think they’re targeting and they may be doing that, but if you’re not targeting to the point where it’s resulting in better quality prospects, better quality clients, and conversations that lead to sales, then you might need to hone in a little bit better in terms of your targeting efforts and your targeting approach. Jay: Yeah, so as I think about targeting, there’s a lot of work to be done upfront, right? If you’re going to target somebody, you’ve got to know who the target is. And that can take a lot of research on your own part. A lot of experimentation, a lot of looking at past contacts, how those contacts came into your funnel, and understand those things before shooting arrow in different directions. The odds that you’re going to hit anything that looks like a target are pretty slim. David: Exactly. And I think a lot of the reason for that is, many people think of the term targeting in terms of what you said, targeting’s like aiming at something. But it’s not just aiming at something, it’s having an idea in advance of what it is that you want to hit. And if we think in terms of some of the more common ways of targeting. Some people don’t even get this specific about it. But if you look at the different ways to target, I mean some people target geographically, I’m going to target everybody within a certain geographic area. If I’m a realtor and I’m working in a particular neighborhood… Great example of geographic targeting. Some people target by industry. If I’m selling B2B, I might target a particular group of people in a particular industry. I might target companies that deal with technical kind of things, or I might target education, or I might target finance, right? So that’s a different way to target, by industry. I can target by need if I’m selling something like whatever, insurance, and I’m targeting people who need insurance. Okay. They could be wherever they are. Now, it’s harder to do that when you target by need because so many people might need it and you might have to pare things down a little bit to be able to get to the people that you want. In the promotional products industry, where I do a lot of work, people can sell by program specialty. In other words, people who are looking for a specific result. If you’re selling to people who are looking to increase safety in the workplace, then you could potentially be selling them a safety campaign, a safety program. There are some people who target by product specialty. There are different companies who might be looking for a specific kind of product. There is a company that’s been in the promotional products industry for ages. You’ve probably received pens from them in the mail, and they’ve been doing that for years. There’s a cover letter. Very often the pen will have your company name on it, and they’ll send that to you in advance. And then there was just a sheet of paper and a place where you could say, all right, if I want 200 of these, I send a check, I mail it in. And that was an example of targeting by product. So you can have a very successful business that does just that, right? Targeting by a particular product. And then some combination thereof. I could target a particular niche, a particular group of people. I could target financial institutions within a certain geographic area, or I could target a certain type of industry with a specific need. So, industrial companies that need safety programs. So lots of different ways to slice it, but if you don’t think through your options, then a lot of your targeting can just leave you confused. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. But I think it’s important to know, I mean, never in the history of the planet, have we had the ability to target like you can today. If you know what you’re looking for, you talked about geographic areas, age groups, people who listen to a particular radio station, people who shop at a particular store. Never in our history has there been the ease and ability to target people. There are people whose profession, and think about this, their profession is SEO, search engine optimization. That’s all they do is they look at your company, and who your targets are, and they figure out how to reach that specific group. I think about what we did 20 years ago for targeting, and I’m like, how did we even do that? I think part of the problem is that a lot of people are just going in and they’re kind of faking it until they make it. SEO is complicated and you have to first know your target, your needs, and then you have to know how to turn that into keywords and other things. It’s a real process, real powerful, but a real difficult process many times. David: Right. And when you’re talking about something specific like that, like SEO, yeah, it’s really a specialty. And even targeted advertising, if you’re looking for a certain group of people on Facebook or whatever, you’re right, it’s easier than ever to target those people with paid advertising. But for salespeople who are in the field who aren’t doing SEO, and they’re not doing targeted ads, and they’re looking for prospects, looking for people to sell to, and still, to some extent, having to do it rather manually, then at least having a clear idea of who you’re after gives you a much better chance at potentially reaching some of those people. Jay: Oh yeah. And we talked about this in the last podcast. If you know who to target, you’re not making a hundred calls today. Maybe you’re making 20 calls today and you’re increasing your close rate. It is hard for me to think, you know, that there are still so many people out there picking up a phone and dialing it and cold calling. David: Mm-hmm. Jay: But it is still a regular part of businesses everywhere and it’s a successful part and can be successful. But if you don’t know who to target, you’re going to be wasting a lot of time. David: Right. Which brings us back to the title, the Trouble With Targeting. If you’re not doing it well, no matter how you’re doing it, whether you’re trying to do it with SEO or paid ads. Because there are people who really want to get the paid ads thing dialed in, and many of them are still spending enormous amounts of money to make that work. And as the algorithms get smarter, theoretically it gets easier, but it also then becomes more expensive because more people are doing it, which drives the costs up. So even those who now understand that, yeah, you can probably reach pretty much anyone you want to reach with targeted ads you might not be able to afford to do. It reminds me of that line from one of the Godfather movies where Michael Corleone says something along the lines of, if history has taught us nothing else, it’s that you can get to anybody. Right? And that is now true in terms of advertising. You can get to anybody, but what is the cost? What’s the cost in time? What’s the cost in money? And are you going to be able to do it? So a lot of that has to do with what you’re charging for your product, what your profit margins are. If it costs you a couple hundred dollars to acquire a new customer, you have to make sure that whatever it is that you’re selling them provides enough of an adequate profit margin to cover the cost of the product, to cover the cost of the salesperson, the overhead, and whatever the advertising is. So as long as the math works, you’re in great shape. Jay: And not just the math. I was thinking as you were talking about this, let’s say you set it up right. You figured out who to target, you’ve got your keywords in, or whatever your advertising method is going to be, and you have actually reached the face of your target. Well, what if your ad doesn’t appeal to them at all? So you’ve managed to hit your target, but it just bounced off of them because you didn’t have the right message. David: Yep. Jay: And that’s a problem we see a lot with SEO, with cold calling. Are you saying the right message? And I know when it comes to SEO, that’s why you do A/B testing, right? You send out two different versions of the same ads, see which ones resonate, see which ones don’t. And you have to keep track of that regardless of what your effort is. Because man, it’s really sad if you have managed to figure out how to reach that target, but you didn’t manage to figure out how to get them interested. That’s a real waste of time and money. David: Right, because you may not even know that you reached that person if the messaging’s off. This really all goes back to something we talked about in a podcast quite a while ago, the MVPs of marketing and sales. What’s the message that you’re communicating? Which combination of marketing vehicles are you going to use to communicate the message? And who are the people or prospects that you need to reach? So if you’re getting to the right people, people who could be doing business with you, and you’re reaching them through a marketing vehicle that gets to them, like SEO or like paid ads, and your messaging is off, the only thing you’re going to do, the only thing you’ll succeed in doing is alienating those people faster. You got to get those three things dialed in or you’re toast. Jay: Yeah, one chance sometimes. Now, the other part of that is we know sometimes you have to get in front of their face six or seven times before they will actually call you. But it needs to be six or seven times where you are resonating. If it’s six or seven times with a message that they can’t stand. I mean, I think about the Super Bowl. And some commercials are hilarious and some are terrible. And they’ve spent all that money on that one spot that for the next three months, I see that exact same commercial over and over and over again. And if it’s a bad commercial and I hated it the first time? I’m going to hate it even more the second or the third or the fourth or fifth time. So I mean, did that money, did those millions of dollars really work for them or not? David: Right. And what do I think of the company? What do I think of what they’re selling? Because there are some places that have advertising that’s annoying. But if I like the place, if I’ve had a good experience, I will very likely continue to spend money with them. And I might say to them, “Hey, your ad is terrible.” But on the other hand, if I’m not familiar with the place and the advertising alienates me, then the likelihood that I’m even going to give them a try is pretty much slim to none. Jay: Yeah, I totally agree with you. I like the title, the Trouble with Targeting. Everybody listening, is probably doing some type of targeting, but have you really taken the time to assess who your target is? How are you going to get to them? And when you do get to them, are you going to have the right messaging? And if you haven’t looked at each of those three steps at the very least, then your system is probably going to fall down. David: Exactly. And ultimately the better we target, the more money we will very likely make, as long as we have the qualification procedures in place as well. But that’s a subject for another podcast. Jay: Yeah, absolutely. How can people find out more, David? David: Well, you can go to TopSecrets.com/call. That’s TopSecrets.com/call. If you’re having trouble with your targeting, if you can’t seem to get to the people that you need to reach, let’s have a conversation. We’ll figure it out. At least have a conversation about and see if we can figure it out. If we can help you, we’ll let you know that. If we can help you, we’ll let you know that, too. Sometimes it’s just good to have somebody else to talk to about a situation that you’re running into. Somebody who’s actually done it, who knows what they’re talking about in this regard. So once again, if you’d like to have a conversation, we are happy to do that. Just go to that web address and set up a call. Jay: I love it. David, thank you so much for spending time with us today.

MBBs – or Muslim Background Believers – are Christianconverts who often suffer much when they choose to follow Jesus Christ. Not only do they risk many trials, but they often have few champions. When persecution strikes them, often no one bats an eye or says a word. Many MBBs have disappeared into prison cells. Authorities often presume no one cares about them and they're forgotten. But that is not true. The Triune God loves them and sees them. And so must we as the Church. On this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, we look into one such case of a Christian convert being thrown behindbars for his faith. We will share details about this man, explore his case and see how the patterns are similar to developments in other countries.Saeed Abu Mustafa, an Egyptian, became a Christian in 2016. Pressures arose after his conversion out of Islam, and heeventually sought safety in Russia. While there, Saeed debated with Islamic scholars about Islam and shared about his Christian faith. Soon pressures arose against him in Russia too, and he was eventually deported back to Egypt. There,security services arrested Saeed and placed him in prison. As of this recording, Saeed Abu Mustafa continues to suffer in an Egyptian prison cell. There are even whispers that he has been mistreated.To help you better understand what is going on with Saeed Abu Mustafa and other related cases is Dan Burmawi. Dan is himself an MBB. He grew up in the Middle East and is today an author and commentator well versed in these issues.

Nick talks to Allan Dib, author of The 1-Page Marketing Plan and Lean Marketing, about the power of simplification in marketing and business growth, particularly for those with seven- to eight-figure businesses.  Allan shares his core philosophy, the structure of his 9-box marketing plan, and the importance of focusing on a "rich life" by design. KEY TAKEAWAYS Simplification is crucial in marketing, as complexity often hampers execution and leads to procrastination. Allan's 1-Page Marketing Plan is a 9-box framework that simplifies the entire customer journey. Focus on specialisation (niching) and avoid the temptation to widen your market, as being highly specialised allows you to charge more, resonate better with customers, and communicate with higher precision. The only two marketing metrics that truly matter are Cost of Customer Acquisition (CoCA) and Lifetime Value (LTV). All other metrics are merely tools to help troubleshoot or optimise these two primary figures. Convert customers by delivering a world-class experience and orchestrate referrals by making the referrer look good, which creates positive goodwill and brand equity for your business. BEST MOMENTS "My role in simplification is to simplify the complex." "The only two metrics that really, really matter are your Cost of Customer Acquisition and Lifetime Value." "If you do the first parts of your marketing right, sales becomes so easy and frictionless." "How do we get to that rich life, how do we live a life that's essentially awesome?"

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Aaron Gunsaulus, the anti-Catholic, Calvinist pastor who became Catholic – although with 17 of his friends from the church he pastored! This is an amazing story. Aaron is a good friend of another good friend of the show, former Protestant Pastor Keith Nester, and the way their stories are connected is incredible. Aaron tells that story and explains how being "fair" to the Catholic Church began to soften his outlook and, ultimately, lead to not only his conversion but the conversion of his wife, one of their children (another is in RCIA), and 17 of their friends from their former church. It's an outrageous story!To follow Aaron check out his Substack and follow him on X.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

In this episode, I'm walking you through two real-life examples from Facebook groups where the offer sounded impressive… but totally missed the mark. We're talking clarity, friction, and what actually makes someone hit "buy" — plus the one question you have to answer if you want your offer to land.
