Story of the Week (DR):L3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct MML3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.AND THIS:Women at L3Harris Shared Concerns About CEO's Behavior Years Before OusterIt was a warning that was shared among women who worked for Chris Kubasik: Avoid being alone with the executive and be careful on the corporate jet.Multiple women at defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX had raised concerns about Kubasik's behavior, including a formal complaint from one woman to human resources that was made around 2023, according to people familiar with the matter. The employee accused the CEO of sexual harassment, the people said.Kubasik stayed on in his role. The woman left L3Harris. Not all L3Harris board members were briefed on the 2023 complaint and it is unclearOusted L3Harris CEO was previously forced out of Lockheed Martin jobChristopher Kubasik's ouster as the L3Harris CEO was not the first time he was forced out of a company amid an allegation of misconduct.In 2012, Kubasik was set to become the CEO of Lockheed Martin when he was forced to resign after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee.Why Do Boards Keep Giving Misbehaving CEOs Second Chances?L3Harris Technologies' LHX chief executive is out because of misconduct allegations, and it isn't the first time: More than a decade ago, Christopher Kubasik resigned from Lockheed Martin because he was accused of having a relationship with a subordinate.The Crucial Moment That Companies Miss After They Oust a CEOIt matters how a company responds to a scandal once it's caught in one, most blow the moment by choosing secrecy over transparency. It's an opportunity to reset the culture that led to the breach in the first place, but instead “your PR team and your legal team tell you ‘Don't dig into these things—it's not good for the company,' so you silence all the debates.”.Meta faces a $1.4 trillion threat that could mean ‘turning in the keys and walking away'—but the stakes of the case reach across techThe trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.States accuse Meta of targeting children for Facebook, Instagram addiction: 'The young ones are the best ones'Meta whistleblower told jury the company took a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to kids' safety‘Harvest their data and hide the truth from the public': Four states seek billions from Meta over child safety practicesSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to stop responding to no-action requests “entirely … effective immediately,” the agency said in a statement Friday.The decision comes after the SEC sat out the bulk of the no-action process during the 2025-26 proxy season. Investor advocates have since sued the agency, alleging the change violates the Administrative Procedure Act.AI data center outrage is showing up everywhere from ads to electionsAI data center outrage is showing up everywhere from ads to electionsGOP Begs AI Firms to Fix Data Centers' “Toxic Brand” to Help Midterm Chances As A.I.

Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz serves on the board of Databricks, and partner Martin Casado is a board member of Fivetran. Both companies help businesses collect, organize and analyze massive troves of data.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):MacKenzie Scott gave California public education $461 million—and let the recipients decide how to spend every dollarMM: Andreessen Horowitz Focus of DOJ Probe Over Board Directors DRAssholiest of the Week (MM):Bill Brown and Robert Millard DRNever accountable for anything directorsL3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conductHistory lesson:Kubasik hired in 2015 after Lockheed disaster firing, hired as COO and PresidentPresiding CEO: Michael Strianese, Chair from 2008, CEO from 2006Board: Claude Canizares (71, MIT physics professor, 2003)Thomas Corcoran (72, Carlyle, consulting, 1997)Ann Dunwoody (64, only woman, US Army Gen, 2013)Lewis Kramer (69, EY accountant, 2009)Robert Millard (66, MIT Chair, Lehman until 2008 collapse, LID, 1997)Lloyd Newton (74, only PoC - token black guy - US Air Force General, 2012)Vincent Pagano, Jr (66, lawyer, Simpson Thacher, chair of nom, 2013)Hugh Shelton (75, US Army Gen, 2011), Arthure Simon (85, accountant, 2001)8 white men, 1 woman, 1 black dude2018, Kubasik named CEO of L3 TechnologiesMichael Strianese retires and Kubasik takes overSame exact board minus Strianese2019, L3 and Harris merge to be L3HarrisKubasik added to L3Harris board, named COO and President of the company under Bill Brown, CEO and ChairSurviving the board merger:Thomas CorcoranRobert Millard - LID, nom memberLloyd Newton - chair of nomLewis KramerAdjacent - Roger Fradin of Carlyle on board, Corcoran also of CarlyleJune 2021, Kubasik becomes CEO and Bill Brown moves to exec chair (obviously)Board:Sallie BaileyBill BrownPeter ChiarelliThomas CorcoranThomas Dattilo (nom) - ex tire CEORober GradinHarry HarrisLewis Hay III (nom) - lawyer, ex CEo of NextEraLewis KramerRita LanRobert Millard (nom) - MIT Chair, LehmanLloyd Newton (nom chair) - generalSo given that the CEOs choose their successors, the nom committees approve them, the rest of the board rubber stamps it… we can thank:Michael Strianese - hires Kubasik, names him CEO at L3, despite Lockheed problemsNom approval: Ann Dunwoody (64, only woman, US Army Gen, 2013), Vincent Pagano, Jr (66, lawyer, Simpson Thacher, chair of nom, 2013), Hugh Shelton (75, US Army Gen, 2011) - a nom committee composed of the ONLY woman, two generals and a lawyer - all of whom are the LOWEST TENURED ON THE BOARD at the timeThen Bill Brown - names Kubasik CEO of combined L3Harris, one year of babysitting as exec chairNom approval: Thomas Dattilo (nom) - ex tire CEO, Robert Millard (nom) - MIT Chair, Lehman, Lloyd Newton (nom chair) - generalFamiliar names: Millard and Newton - see Kubasik all the way throughAnd the CEOs and directors can keep failing… Bill Brown on the Becton Dickinson boardRobert Millard on the Green Dot Corp (nom!), iHeartMedia, Evercore (nom!) boardsBrought on to iHeart board just 3 years after an exec there went on a racial slur rant, the company was sued for gender and wage discrimination, and a radio host of the companies were accused of severe harassment - not sure what will change?Dario Amodei“Public benefit corporation” Anthropic: Anthropic Prepares Supervoting Power for Founders as it Readies for Mega-IPOBoard: Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei (President, Dario's sister), Yasmin Razavi (VC, crypto and prediction market investor), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Chris Liddell (ex Trump WH Deputy Secretary), and Vas Narasimhan (Novartis) - zero “public benefit” (or even public safety) peoplePublic Benefit Corporation: “A benefit corporation's directors and officers operate the business with the same authority and behavior as in a traditional corporation, but are required to consider the impact of their decisions not only on shareholders but also on employees, customers, the community, and the local and global environment”What is the impact of supervoting shares? AI on society? AI on the environment? Who on this board is even remotely qualified to answer those questions?Paul AtkinsExhausting and perpetual gaslightingSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'In order to focus Division resources on the review of Securities Act and Exchange Act filings, including those reviews that are statutorily required, for the protection of investors and facilitation of capital formation, and in light of the extensive body of guidance from the Commission and the staff available to both companies and proponents on Rule 14a-8, the Division has determined to discontinue responding to Rule 14a-8 no-action requests entirely, including those submitted under Rule 14a-8(i)(1),[2] effective immediately, unless and until the Division announces otherwise. It also will no longer respond to notices filed under Rule 14a-8(j) with a letter indicating that it will not object if a company omits a proposal from its proxy materials.From the 1934 House Report about the importance of Rule 14a-8: “Fair corporate suffrage is an important right that should attach to every equity security bought on a public exchange.”“Managements of properties owned by the investing public should not be permitted to perpetuate themselves by the misuse of corporate proxies. Insiders having little or no substantial interest in the properties they manage have often retained their control without an adequate disclosure of their interest and without an adequate explanation of the management policies they intend to pursue. Insiders have at times solicited proxies without fairly informing the stockholders of the purposes for which the proxies are to be used and have used such proxies to take from the stockholders for their own selfish advantage valuable property rights. Inasmuch as only the exchanges make it possible for securities to be widely distributed among the investing public, it follows as a corollary that the use of the exchanges should involve a corresponding duty of according to shareholders fair suffrage. For this reason the proposed bill gives the . . . Commission power to control the conditions under which proxies may be solicited with a view to preventing the recurrence of abuses which have frustrated the free exercise of the voting rights of stockholders.Investors Slam SEC Plan to Remove Best-Price RuleAtkins also is listening to the crypto bros who want to offer “tokenized securities” off exchanges and is hoping to eliminate a really basic rule that says “investors are entitled to the best price available for stocks they buy”Separately, DOJ Withdraws Antitrust Guidance for Proxy Advisory Industry - no antitrust protections for ISS (good!) but still can't do anything about the socialist NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA (bad!)Headliniest of the WeekDR: Popular breakfast chain closes half its restaurantsDR: The man leading Trump's RTO charge for government workers says he filmed a video in front of a blank wall to avoid work-from-home suspicionOffice of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump's return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn't get blowback over working at home.“I was in my bedroom, but I was trying to find—because I knew someone was going to give me shit if like, they knew, ‘You were out of the office.' …I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically.

What if one signature event could grow your email list, create valuable business relationships, and build a clear pathway to your paid offers? In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara sits down with copywriter, entrepreneur, and Copy Confidence Society founder Marisa Corcoran to discuss how online summits can transform a business. Marisa explains how she created The Copy Chat, a free, multi-day virtual summit focused on copywriting. When she launched the event in 2018, she had only 75 people on her email list (including her mom and best friend). Within a year, her list had grown to 5,000 subscribers, helping her generate a $112,000 launch followed by a $300,000 launch. Marisa shares why virtual summits are about much more than borrowing another speaker's audience. When created strategically, they can lead to collaborations, referrals, stronger industry relationships, increased visibility, and an audience filled with people who are prepared to buy. Tune in to hear: What an online summit is and how it can grow your email list How summits create visibility, collaborations, and long-term relationships Why your free event should lead naturally into your paid offer How Marisa grew her email list from 75 to 5,000 subscribers How The Copy Chat contributed to six-figure launches Why repeating and refining a proven strategy creates better results How small, continuous improvements can strengthen your marketing Why business owners should stop chasing every shiny new idea How Marisa transitioned from acting to copywriting and entrepreneurship What a failed Winnie the Pooh audition taught her about controlling her future How acting and storytelling can make marketing copy more persuasive Why personality is essential in an AI-driven marketplace How to use AI without outsourcing your creativity or brand voice The three things strong copy can help people do: remember you, rave about you, and refer you Why the right business room can elevate your pricing, ideas, and confidence Connect with Marisa: https://marisacorcoran.com/ https://www.instagram.com/therealmarisacorcoran/ How To Get Involved: Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.

I sit down with Tom Corcoran, co-founder and president of Rebuilt Parish, to explore one of the most challenging encounters in the Gospels: Jesus and the Rich Young Man. Drawing from his new book, Tom unpacks why this story continues to speak to every Christian wrestling with the tension of happiness. Together, we discuss how Jesus always begins with love before inviting us to the cross. Three Takeaways: Jesus loves us before He challenges us. Every invitation to sacrifice begins with an encounter rooted in His love and desire for our happiness. Idols take many forms. Wealth, status, comfort, family, entertainment, and even good things can become obstacles when they take God's rightful place. Mission begins with surrender. Personal conversion and parish renewal both start by letting go of what keeps us from fully following Christ. We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends! Editing provided by Forte Catholic (https://www.fortecatholic.com/)

In this powerful episode, Laura Corcoran, CEO and Founder of Dignity Care, shares the deeply personal experience that drove her to invent the Miscarriage Collection Cradle, a patented Class I medical device designed to bring practical support and dignity to women managing miscarriage or pregnancy loss. Laura walks through the realities of home miscarriage management, the need for reliable collection for cytogenetic testing, and how gaps in standard care can compound trauma. The conversation explores how she translated an unmet need into a scalable product—rapid NHS adoption, health-economic evidence showing major system savings, and the stakeholder strategy required to drive change from hospitals to Parliament. Laura also discusses FDA clearance and plans for U.S. launch, and closes with advice for innovators: obsess over understanding the problem, and the right solution will follow.Laura Corcoran LinkedInDignity Care Network WebsiteDuane Mancini LinkedInProject Medtech WebsiteProject Medtech LinkedInThank you to our sponsors: Ward Law and JumpStart Inc.

What if the most powerful leadership skill in the world could be taught in a maximum security prison? In this episode, Doug Noll, lawyer turned peacemaker, mediator, and author of the upcoming Empathy Leadership, shares how walking away from a $10 million law career led him to one of the most profound discoveries in human communication. For 10 years he trained over 3,000 incarcerated men and women in maximum security prisons to prevent gang riots using a skill that can be learned in minutes and practiced in seconds. That skill is two words: You feel. The story that changed everything wasn't in a boardroom. It was a woman on a hospital bed in the world's largest women's prison, writing letters to a son who hadn't spoken to her in 18 years. What happened next is something Doug will never forget. [00:05:00] What He Does and Who He Serves Lawyer turned peacemaker with a master's degree in conflict studies Left the practice of law in 2000 after 22 years as a trial lawyer Teaches nervous system leadership to executives, founders, and C-level leaders [00:06:00] The Three Questions Every Brain Asks Every brain in every meeting asks three questions every microsecond Am I safe? Can I trust you? Do I matter to you? If leaders don't get solid yeses, they've already lost the room A leader's first job is to regulate their own nervous system [00:07:30] How a Lawyer Became a Peacemaker Took up martial arts in his mid-30s and earned a second-degree black belt His teacher sent him to learn Tai Chi; it taught him soft is strong and vulnerable is powerful In a courtroom in the late 90s the thought hit him: what am I doing in here? [00:09:00] The River Trip That Changed Everything Spent 10 days alone on a raft on the Salmon River in Idaho thinking Could only count five people in 22 years of law who came out better than they went in Heard a radio announcement for a peacemaking master's degree and enrolled at 48 Gave one week's notice, left $10 million on the table, and walked away [00:11:00] What Inspires Him Wants to teach as many people as possible to stop fights before they spiral The skill: say "you feel" and name what the other person is experiencing When you name someone's emotions, their amygdala calms and they can think again [00:13:30] Client Impact Trained senior analysts at the Congressional Budget Office to de-escalate members of Congress Mediated a three-day dispute at a billion-dollar company where stakeholders could barely be in the same room Hardened business people regularly break into tears from the release of tension they've been carrying [00:15:00] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Laurel Klaffer and Sarah In 2009 a woman serving life without parole wrote letters from a hospital bed One letter landed with Doug's colleague Laurel Klaffer; she called Doug and read it to him Eight months later they were standing in front of 15 women in California's largest women's prison [00:16:30] Sarah's Letter: The Moment That Defined the Mission Sarah had been in prison 18 years for a fatal DUI that killed a family of four She gave up her three-year-old son when she entered prison; he never visited or wrote back Using what she learned, she wrote naming how he must feel For the first time in 18 years he wrote back: Mom, I love you; I'm bringing my girlfriend to visit [00:18:00] Prison of Peace: A Program That Went Global Sarah's story confirmed the work was about restoring humanity, not just peacemaking The program expanded to Corcoran State Prison, one of California's two supermaxes Prison of Peace is now operating in prisons across the world [00:22:00] Mike's Story: A Father Reconnected from Behind Bars Mike, a gang member at Corcoran, had a daughter who ran from him during visits He started naming her emotions on their weekly calls; within weeks she was a changed girl She began requesting her own weekly call just to be listened to On the next visit she ran and jumped into his arms; the guards looked the other way [00:27:30] Final Word: Two Words That Change Everything Conflict is inevitable; the painful emotions around it are not Every fight is a cry: please listen to me Say "you feel" and the argument dissolves; the problem can finally be solved KEY QUOTES "Every fight, every argument is nothing more than a cry: please listen to me." - Doug Noll "When you name what someone feels, you choose humanity over ideology. You choose connection over being right." - Doug Noll "If the most violent men I've ever worked with could learn how to listen people into existence, imagine what it could do for everybody listening to this show." - Doug Noll CONNECT WITH DOUG NOLL Website: https://www.dougnoll.com Substack: https://www.dougnoll.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dougnoll Thanks for tuning in!

Today we are joined by Travis J. I. Corcoran to talk about what it really takes to build a life, a homestead, or even a full settlement when there is no big system coming to save you. This is about food, repair, local production, trade, family, community and the real limits that show up when theory runs face first into reality. Travis and his wife walked away from lucrative tech careers in Massachusetts and built a more self reliant life in New Hampshire. That experience led him to write Escape the City, a practical homesteading guide based on what actually … Continue reading →
Sister Nancy Corcoran is an unusual nun. Now 81, she has spent the last two years quietly hosting meetings for Catholic parents of transgender children. The gatherings are intentionally “affirming” meetings. There is no talk of celibacy or prayer that children will stop being trans or gay. Instead, parents share meals and stories about the pressure on their families, and their faith, as they support their kids at a time when transgender Missourians are a focus of heated political and cultural battles. Producer Danny Wicentowski interviews Corcoran to learn how she's turned her ministry into a gathering place for local Catholics. We also meet the Rev. Eli Anthony, who shares insights from his experiences in Jefferson City with other trans people and faith leaders.

Axel sits down with Ryan Corcoran of Specialized Property Group for a new segment on the show. Ryan walks through a property he picked up for $1.325 million through an off-market agent relationship, with a simple business plan of renovating vacant units, pushing rents, and refinancing to hold long-term. What unfolded was a masterclass in staying opportunistic: an adjacent lot that the seller dismissed as worthless was taken through the zoning board, permitted for a three-unit development, and sold off for $250,000 — turning an already solid deal into an exceptional one. The episode doesn't just celebrate the wins. Ryan is candid about what went sideways — vacant units that sat for six months, the tension between maximizing rent rolls for a refinance versus filling units quickly, and a costly prepayment penalty that caught the team off guard when they pivoted from a hold to a sale. These are the kinds of real-world friction points that rarely make it into a highlight reel, and they're exactly what makes this episode worth listening to.Join us as we dive into:The adjacent lot play that nobody valued: how Ryan took an "unbuildable" lot through the zoning board, secured multiple variances, and sold it for $250,000 — a return entirely outside the original underwritingWhy three units sat vacant for six months despite a strong location near UMass Medical Center — and the hard lesson about rent-setting strategy when your goal is a refinance versus long-term holdThe sell vs. hold decision: why a $1.6M basis with a $2M exit made more sense than grinding for $20–30K per year in cash flow — and what that says about capital recycling and return on equityThe prepayment penalty trap: how a conventional commercial loan locked the team into a six-figure exit cost they hadn't fully accounted for — and how to negotiate 1-1-1 or step-down structures upfrontWhy having a licensed real estate agent as a partner (or spouse) is one of the biggest structural advantages in a transactional investing business — and how Ryan's team saved six figures in commissions last year aloneThe value creation hiding in oversized lots: why dedicating resources to subdivision and entitlement work on large parcels is one of the highest-leverage moves available to active investors todayConnect with Ryan:Follow him on InstagramConnect with him on LinkedinSubscribe to our YouTube channelLearn more about Specialized Property GroupAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

In this episode, Axel sits down once again with Ryan Corcoran of Specialized Property Group — a New England investor doing 60 to 80 deals per year across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire through a relentless focus on direct-to-seller marketing. Ryan started out building a multifamily portfolio the traditional way, but pivoted to a high-volume transactional model when rates rose in 2022 — and hasn't looked back since.The conversation is one of the most tactical deep dives into off-market deal sourcing the podcast has ever featured. Ryan breaks down exactly how he builds motivated seller lists from public court records, why handwritten white letters outperform polished postcards, and how his team uses a CRM to automate follow-up for years at a time. This is a must-listen for any investor who wants to go direct to seller, build a sustainable deal-finding machine, and understand what it actually takes to operate at volume in today's market.Join us as we dive into:The evolution of SPG from a buy-and-hold multifamily portfolio to a 60–80 deal per year transactional operationThe three pillars of real estate investing — acquisitions, financing, and operations; and why finding the deal is the engine that drives everything elseWhy triggering-event lists (evictions, probate, divorce) require fewer touches than generic absentee owner lists — and how to find sellers who are already ready to moveThe anatomy of a winning direct mail piece: white letters, handwritten envelopes, first-name personalization, and a local, approachable toneHow to think about the Massachusetts market: why central Mass and New Hampshire behave similarly, while Greater Boston is a completely different ball gameRyan's honest take on multifamily in the current rate environment and why he's not advocating buy-and-hold at today's prices unless the deal is exceptionalWhy flipping and wholesaling at current rates may generate more wealth faster than traditional BRRRR strategiesPrevious Episodes:Ep239 - Direct-to-seller marketing for multifamily deals..Ep159 - Using direct mail to buy hundreds of units..Connect with Ryan:Follow him on InstagramConnect with him on LinkedinSubscribe to our YouTube channelLearn more about Specialized Property GroupAre you looking to invest in real estate, but don't want to deal with the hassle of finding great deals, signing on debt, and managing tenants?

Forty-one years ago, John Corcoran was murdered in West Cork. Corcoran was an IRA member and a secret garda informer. No one has ever been charged with his murder. No inquiry has been held. J.P. O'Sullivan was the special branch detective who recruited Corcoran as an informer, and he believes there has been a huge cover-up of garda involvement in Corcoran's murder at the highest level. J.P. has written a book about it called 'Veil of Silence', and joins Pat to discuss.
After spending more than a decade as the primary caregiver for her mother, living with vascular dementia, Rosanne Corcoran dedicates her work to supporting and empowering family caregivers nationwide. She is a leading voice with Daughterhood, host of Daughterhood the Podcast, and was named a 2024 Advocate for Aging by Next Avenue and the American Society on Aging. In this episode, Rosanne shares practical wisdom on accepting help from community and support networks so that you can carve out time to be off the caregiving clock and learn that it's ok to share uncomfortable feelings outside your family. We also talk about aging well, navigating in-home dementia care, seeking everyday joy, and what true self-care can look like when caregivers finally take time for themselves.

Super Soaker battles, gravedigging legends, and androgynous icons… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! These ‘90s kids are finishing up season 2 of Are You Afraid of the Dark? and going out with a bang… a game, really, of potentially disastrous consequences. Around here, we recognize that it's important—maybe now more than ever—to play. To connect to our inner children and re-live carefree times gone by. In fact, kids have been hiding-and-seeking for nearly all of recorded history. But in the case of this Midnight Society tale, we find that play can sometimes become an eternal state of being.

Marisa Corcoran is back on Marketing Unfiltered for round three (honestly, she's basically the Steve Martin of this podcast) — and we're getting wildly practical about something almost every business owner sets up once… and then forgets exists:Your welcome sequence.Because if your welcome sequence hasn't been touched in forever, doesn't sound like you anymore, or is quietly selling something you don't even offer… you're not alone. And in this episode, Marisa breaks down what a welcome sequence is actually supposed to do — and how to make yours feel human, memorable, and wildly effective (without living in a copy cave for the rest of your life).In This Episode, We Cover...Why a welcome sequence can do more than “deliver the freebie” — and what it should be doing insteadThe two questions every subscriber is subconsciously asking when they join your listMarisa's #1 welcome-sequence metric (hint: it's not opens or clicks)How to write a first email that gets replies fast (and helps deliverability too)The “word closet” + personality seeding approach that makes your emails sound unmistakably like youA simple 4-email structure you can steal (and when to stop adding more)How often to send welcome sequence emails (and why “spacing them out too much” kills momentum)Whether people should receive your regular newsletter while they're in a welcome sequence (and why Marisa says no)The fastest way to update your welcome sequence without rewriting a brand new one for every lead magnetWhat to do if you swear you have “no personality” or “no interesting stories” to share (spoiler: Marisa would bet her student loans you do)SPONSOR: This episode is brought to you by Mindi Huebner's SUBCONSCIOUS CEO Identity Quiz: https://pages.mindihuebner.com/take-the-ceo-reset-quizRESOURCES FROM OUR GUEST: Marisa Corcoran's Free Copy Camp (March 3–5) A free 3-day experience happening March 3rd to March 5th where Marisa teaches you how to stand out with your words in the age of AI — and there's no selling inside Copy Camp. → https://marisacorcoran.com/copy-camp/?affiliate=sophiaparraLeave Them Wanting More (Masterclass) Marisa's masterclass (coming up soon!) where she'll recap key concepts and go deeper on how to craft copy that leaves people obsessed in the best way. → https://sophiaparra--marisacorcoran.thrivecart.com/the-copy-confidence-society-april-2026/665926297c163/Copy Confidence Society (Doors Opening Soon) Marisa's signature program where you write copy that sounds like you, sells without being cringe, and turns your marketing into an actual asset. → https://sophiaparra--marisacorcoran.thrivecart.com/the-copy-confidence-society-april-2026/6659261d7c162/
Travel Agent Achievers - To Educate, Encourage and Empower Travel Professionals
In this episode of the Travel Agent Achievers Podcast, Ros is joined by Christine Corcoran, confidence coach and best-selling author of Turn Impostor Syndrome into Your Superpower. Together, they explore why imposter syndrome shows up so strongly for experienced professionals, particularly travel advisors navigating pricing conversations, client objections, leadership and growth. Rather than trying to eliminate fear, Christine reframes imposter syndrome as a signal that you are stretching beyond your comfort zone. This episode dives into the role language plays in confidence, how fear is wired into the brain, and why confidence often comes after action, not before it. This is not about selling harder. It's about holding your value, trusting your expertise, and choosing growth over fear. In this episode: Why imposter syndrome often means you are growing How fear shows up in pricing and sales conversations The power of language in shaping confidence and decisions Why self-trust is built through evidence, not perfection How to reframe fear without becoming louder or more salesy Find the full episode details and show notes here:
Rosanne Corcoran knows caregiving from the inside. When her mother moved in with vascular dementia, Rosanne became her primary caregiver for years, navigating the daily realities, emotional toll, and quiet endurance that so often go unseen. Today, she channels that lived experience into advocacy as a support-circle leader and podcast host with Daughterhood, a community built to reduce isolation and provide support to caregivers. With an estimated 63 million caregivers in the U.S., and 44% of them providing high levels of care, this conversation matters more than most of us realize. As Rosanne puts it: “Caregivers at the core are isolated, overwhelmed, carrying guilt, and living with grief, and almost no one recognizes any of that.” If you are a caregiver – or know someone who is – listen in, share this episode, and help make the invisible labor of caregiving visible.

#748 Is AI really killing copywriting — or is it exposing just how powerful your message needs to be? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Marisa Corcoran, founder of Copy Confident Society, to unpack why copywriting isn't “dead” in the AI era — it's more important than ever. Marisa shares her wild pivot from professional acting (yes, a Winnie the Pooh audition was the breaking point) to building a thriving copy community, and explains why business owners must “create their own stage” through platforms like podcasts, summits, or content series. You'll also learn why most “copy problems” are actually messaging problems, plus Marisa's practical Ghostbusters-inspired “Proton Pack” framework to clarify what you sell, who you help, and how to make your message memorable — so the right people remember you, rave about you, and refer you! What we discuss with Marisa: + Copy isn't dead — messaging matters + Creating your own stage + Actor's guide to copy + Messaging vs. copy problems + Standing out in a crowded market + Ghostbusters “Proton Pack” framework + Remembered, raved about, referred + Building in public + AI as a copy collaborator + Writing from lived experience Thank you, Marisa!
