As AI changes the way nonprofits connect with donors, the big question is: can technology make fundraising more personal, not less?  Derric Bakker, CEO at DickersonBakker, explores how fundraising has moved from personal, relationship-based work to more transactional communication. He shares how AI can help nonprofits bring personalized donor experiences to more people, not just major donors.  The discussion covers key ideas such as listening to donors, personalizing messages, showing genuine thanks, building trust, respecting donor timing, and focusing on long-term relationships.   Derric also highlights the importance of using AI responsibly. Nonprofits should be honest when AI is involved and should never use technology to trick or pressure donors. Trust is at the heart of successful fundraising, and once it is lost, it can be difficult to rebuild.   The conversation also looks at how nonprofits can use AI to scale personal communication while keeping the human side of fundraising strong.   Overall, the message is simple: use AI to strengthen relationships, not replace them. The future of fundraising should combine smart technology with genuine human connection.  HIGHLIGHST   [02:00] Derric's Professional Journey   [06:07] The Shift Toward Transactional Fundraising  [10:37] Genesis of A Better Way to Fundraise   [16:46] Core Principles of Relationship Fundraising  [21:17] AI Ethics and Maintaining Donor Trust   [35:19] The Future Outlook for Fundraising  Resources:  Connect with Derric:  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/derricbakker/  Website: betterwaychampions.org/  Website: dickersonbakker.com/  Mentioned in the episode:  A Better Way to Fundraise - Treat Every Donor Like a Major Donor: How AI is Enabling Major Giving at Scale - And Reshaping the Future of Philanthropy: amazon.com/Better-Way-Fundraise-Reshaping-Philanthropy    Better Way Champions — Resources and a growing community of nonprofit leaders working to rethink the future of fundraising: BetterWayChampions.org    Better Way Champions on Substack — Derric's latest writing on fundraising, philanthropy, AI, and the changes reshaping our sector: https://betterwaychampions.substack.com/subscribe

In today's episode, Mary Greensmith sits down with the ever-insightful Lisa Robbins to revisit the foundational concepts of homeopathy. If you've ever wondered what makes homeopathy so different from conventional medicine, or why a homeopath asks such specific questions, this episode is a wonderful, easy-to-understand guide. The Vital Force: Your Body's Internal Spark Lisa begins by explaining one of the most important concepts in homeopathy: the vital force. Think of the vital force as the quintessential energetic spark that keeps your body functioning and healthy. When this energy gets knocked out of balance—whether through stress, grief, or a physical trigger—it creates a pattern of "dis-ease" that eventually manifests as mental, emotional, or physical symptoms. The Principle of "Like Cures Like" How does homeopathy fix this imbalance? By using the principle of like cures like. Lisa shares a classic example: chopping a raw onion gives you watery, stinging eyes and a runny nose. If you have those exact same symptoms during allergy season, a highly diluted, potentized homeopathic remedy made from red onion (Allium cepa) can be used to treat them! Another great example? If you burn your hand, running it under warm or hot water (treating heat with heat) actually helps the burn heal better than shocking it with freezing cold water. Healing vs. Suppressing Conventional medicine often works by suppressing a symptom. For example, if you have a skin rash, a doctor might prescribe a steroid cream. The rash goes away, but the root cause—the internal imbalance of the vital force—remains untouched. Eventually, that unresolved energy will push its way out in a different, often more severe way (like respiratory issues). A homeopathic remedy, however, doesn't suppress the symptom. Instead, it acts as a subtle catalyst. It gently shakes up the vital force, reminding the body of its own natural healing pattern so it can clear the root cause and return to equilibrium. Individualized Care and the Minimum Dose In homeopathy, two people with the exact same diagnosis (like migraines or eczema) will likely receive completely different remedies. Why? Because homeopathy treats how you uniquely experience and cope with your symptoms. One person might panic during a migraine, while another might feel deeply depressed and quiet. The remedy must match the person, not just the disease label. Furthermore, homeopathy operates on the principle of the minimum dose. As your body begins to heal and correct itself, you take less of the remedy—not more. You don't take homeopathic remedies indefinitely; you take them just long enough to put your body's self-healing system back on track!

1. Annual Themes, Learning, and Risk Each investing year tends to coalesce around distinct themes that are difficult to identify upfront and only become clear through observation and adaptation. Reviewing prior years helps reveal recurring patterns and informs future strategy. "You either make money or you learn something." Even profitable years yield process insights and highlight missed opportunities, reinforcing resilience and long-term skill building. Investing is like golf: just when your "swing" feels right, conditions change. Continuous refinement is essential because evolving market environments expose new weaknesses. Appropriate risk-taking is crucial for young investors. Under-allocation to equities can be the bigger mistake given long-term upward market drift and compounding. Understanding what you own reduces perceived risk and helps investors ride out volatility and buy dips with conviction. 2. Long-Term Strategy vs. Short-Term Trading Passive, buy-and-hold investing generally outperforms frequent trading, which often triggers taxes on short-term gains and causes investors to sell winners too early. Asset allocation over market timing: set target allocations (e.g., US, international, real estate) and regularly add to underrepresented assets. This dollar-cost averaging approach removes emotion and naturally buys low. Timing tops and bottoms is a losing game relative to disciplined allocation. 3. Continuous Learning, Journaling, and Emotional Discipline Be a "nerd" about learning: read constantly, pursue structured education when suitable (e.g., CFA), and align learning methods to personal style. Maintain an investment journal to recognize recurring patterns and avoid repeating mistakes. Discipline is forged in bear markets. Determine true risk tolerance during downturns and use those lessons to guide profit-taking and positioning in subsequent bull markets. 4. Rethinking Safe Assets Traditional intermediate and long-term bonds have shown higher correlation and volatility with equities, challenging their stabilizing role. Structural concerns (e.g., deficits) may pressure future returns. Alternatives include short-duration bonds for stability, gold as an uncorrelated substitute for long duration, and other tools to mitigate sequence-of-returns risk such as high-yield savings, annuities, or an Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy with stability, tax advantages, and a death benefit. 5. Common Mistakes to Avoid Shorting individual stocks offers a poor risk-return trade-off: capped upside (100%) with theoretically unlimited downside. Only top-tier professionals with deep access and diligence should consider it. Chasing high yield is a trap. Elevated yields usually signal higher risk, potential financial distress, or "return of capital" that erodes principal. Favor quality yield and total return via strong businesses and long-term capital gains. 6. Dividends, Buybacks, and Capital Allocation Very high dividends can indicate limited reinvestment opportunities, effectively de-capitalizing the business and implying muted growth expectations. Share buybacks are a tax-efficient way to return capital, raising ownership per share without immediate tax consequences. 7. Core Principles of Wealth Accumulation and Professional Growth Focus on what you can control: increase income to boost contributions, extend time in the market, and pursue quality growth. Contributions and time are controllable; market returns are not. Wealth builds through contributions, growth rate, and time. Becoming more valuable professionally to raise income often beats trimming small expenses. Invest in yourself through continuous education, structured learning, and stepping outside your comfort zone. Mutual accountability within teams drives higher performance and consistent improvement. Conclusion Successful long-term wealth accumulation centers on appropriate, well-understood risk; disciplined buy-and-hold allocation; continuous learning and journaling; and emotional discipline tested in downturns. Avoid asymmetric pitfalls like shorting and chasing high yields, rethink the role of traditional bonds, and consider diversified stabilizers. Emphasize controllables—income, contributions, and time—while reinforcing professional growth and accountability.

This episode of The Selling Podcast features guest Jerry Gregory, a high-performing healthcare sales professional and multi-time President's Club winner, discussing the discipline required to maintain a customer-centric approach.Core Principles of Customer-Centric SalesServant Leadership: Success is not about the individual salesperson, but about serving the client (physicians, administrators, and patients). By keeping the focus on helping accounts and patients achieve their goals, the financial rewards follow naturally.Understanding Stakeholder Needs: Every interaction must be tailored to the specific person in the room.Physicians: Focus on patient care, efficiency, and reducing "clicks" in the electronic medical record (EMR).Administrators: Focus on cost, revenue, and workflow optimization.The Power of Discovery: Sales professionals must move beyond the "status quo" by uncovering how their solution can provide tangible value.Mastering Time and BoundariesA significant portion of the conversation focused on the discipline required to manage a busy territory effectively:Strategic Time Blocking: To avoid being overwhelmed, Gregory utilizes strict time-blocking on his calendar. He checks emails only at three specific times throughout the day (e.g., 8:00 a.m., noon, and 5:00 p.m.).Managing Expectations: Clients are informed that emails will be answered within 24 hours, but that urgent matters should be handled via text or phone call for immediate attention. This protects the salesperson's ability to be fully "present" with the person currently in front of them.Perception vs. Reality: Service is often a matter of perception. By being attentive and reliable during visits—even if those visits happen every 7–10 days—a salesperson can be perceived as being "always there" to support the team.The Value EquationGregory emphasizes that cost should not be the primary focus of a sales discussion, as it is a relative term. Instead, he advocates for focusing on the value behind the product. When discussing costs, he notes three primary levers: price, logistics, and quality. He explains that while a customer might desire all three, they must often choose two, and it is the salesperson's job to align the solution with what the customer values most.

  Host: Dan Panetti   When people say that America was founded on Christian principles, what do they mean? Is American “a Christian nation?” What about the “separation of church and state?”   Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has written down 7 Core Principles of Conservativism that are really the 7 Christian principles that helped found this country and give birth and direction to future generations and lawmakers. In this episode, I walk through these 7 Principles and explain why America really was founded on Christian principles and encourage you to examine the evidence for yourself.   The 7 Principles are: Individual Freedom Limited Government Rule of Law Peace Through Strength Fiscal Responsibility Free Markets Human Dignity   To better educate yourself on these Christian principles, let me recommend that you read The Federalist Papers and examine the writings of our early Founders themselves as well as the foundational documents of our country - The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution.   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

To pass the baton effectively, we must change how we view the next generation. We cannot pass the torch while focusing on their weaknesses; we must see them through the lens of God’s commitment to them. This transition requires a shift from management to mentorship. It is a call for the elder generation to rely on divine insight rather than human reasoning, seeking God’s heart to discover what He is building in young leaders. By speaking to their identity before their behavior, we ensure that when they finally take the torch, they carry it with the confidence of knowing who they are in Christ. Core Principles of the Handoff: Visionary Seeing: We must see the next generation not as they are, but as God intends them to be. The Language of Encouragement: The baton is passed through praise and reinforcement. Whatever we celebrate in emerging leaders, we will see more of. The Foundation of Love: We earn the right to guide the next generation through a history of proven love, patience, and long-suffering. Identity-First Leadership: We prepare them to lead by naming their calling—speaking courage into the timid and holiness into the struggling—just as Jesus renamed Peter before he was ready to lead. Building, Not Just Managing: Our legacy is not found in the systems we leave behind, but in the people we have built up to carry the flame forward. A Model for the Home: This "passing of the torch" is the primary mission of parenting—loving our children into the fullness of their God-given identity.

Summary In this episode of the AI for Sales podcast, Chad Burmeister speaks with Hussain Al-Sharafa, founder and CEO of Revic AI, about the evolving landscape of sales productivity through AI. They discuss the importance of understanding customer pain points, the role of context over mere signals, and how AI can streamline sales processes. Hussein shares insights on integrating AI into existing workflows, the future of AI in sales, and emerging tools that enhance productivity. The conversation emphasizes the need for sales teams to focus on the right accounts and leverage AI to improve efficiency and effectiveness in their strategies. Takeaways Sellers win when they understand a customer's pain and priorities deeply. Context beats signals; understanding the why is crucial. Sales productivity is about doing less but doing it right. AI can synthesize data points to provide actionable insights. More activity does not equate to better results in sales. Sales teams should focus on accounts where they have a competitive edge. Integrating AI into existing workflows enhances sales efficiency. The future of sales will rely on understanding customer context. AI can help salespeople return to their core job: talking to customers. Emerging AI tools are transforming how sales teams operate.

To help explore this topic, I am joined by Kimberley Quinlan, an anxiety and OCD specialist practicing in Los Angeles and host of the Your Anxiety Toolkit podcast.OCD recovery is often viewed as a rigid list of steps, but it is better understood through specific attributes and ingredients that you can learn to practice and strengthen over time.Here is what you need to know about the core components of OCD recovery:1. Clarity of VisionHaving a clear picture of what you want your life to look like is a powerful predictor of success. This does not mean you must have every detail mapped out perfectly, but you need a general template of the life you want to live. Recovery is not merely the absence of intrusive thoughts or anxiety; it is about deciding what your life will look like when you choose to let those thoughts exist without letting them run the show.2. Willingness to Endure DiscomfortYou must be willing to let OCD come along for the ride. This means moving forward with your valued life plans whileexperiencing discomfort, intrusive thoughts, feelings, sensations, urges, and images. Whether you are practicing driving in your neighborhood or returning to school, you must learn to slow down and be in relation to actual physical discomfort.3. Self-Compassion and KindnessPracticing while uncomfortable is difficult, and it requires kindness toward yourself. This means eliminating the critical, negative inner dialogue that tells you that you are a failure or that you should be further along in your journey. Kindness also means physically validating your own distress, acknowledging your racing heart or somatic symptoms, and making space for them rather than fighting them.4. Attentional AwarenessAttention training is your ability to intentionally choose where to direct your focus in the midst of chaos. Intrusive thoughts feel chaotic, but you have the agency to anchor your attention to a focal point in the present moment, whether that is a sound, a physical task, or a loved one's voice. This is a muscle that you strengthen through small, repetitive daily actions.5. Focus on Response PreventionWhile exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the gold standard for treatment, the emphasis belongs heavily on response prevention. Identifying your compulsions and safety behaviors, and then slowing down or stopping them, is far more critical than seeking out the most intense exposures. Take an honest inventory of your compulsions and work consistently to reduce them.A Note on Consistency These attributes are not static personality traits, nor will they remain at a constant level every day. Some days your willingness will be low, or your self-compassion will wane. Recovery is messy, and consistency matters far more than intensity. Be gentle with yourself, allow space for humor when you catch your OCD trying to trick you, and keep making small, practical choices to move forwardFind Kim online:InstagramWebsitePodcastFor full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/346Send in a question or comment via text.Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.   Other ways to support my work like buying a book or signing up for a low cost workshop can be found on my website.  None of this is never required, but always appreciated!

What if the most loving thing you could do for someone is start a conversation you've been avoiding?In this episode, Michael Reddington sits down with Cory Fosco, a 34-year veteran of the eldercare and healthcare technology industries, author of The Question of When, creative writing teacher, and VP of Enterprise Sales. Cory brings a rare combination of frontline caregiving experience, social work roots, and sales leadership perspective to one of the most universally avoided topics in family life: planning for the care of aging loved ones before a crisis forces your hand.This conversation goes far beyond eldercare. Cory unpacks why denial and guilt keep families frozen, how the fear of messing up drives worse decisions than the fear of missing out, and why having a conversation is fundamentally different from making a decision. The parallels to sales, leadership, and any high-stakes relationship are impossible to miss.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy waiting for the "right time" to have a care conversation is itself the mistakeHow families that do the homework in advance make better decisions under crisis pressureThe difference between "fear of missing out" and "fear of messing up" and how it shows up in caregiving and salesWhy expressing love through preparation changes how families approach difficult conversationsHow having a conversation and making a decision are not the same thing -- and why that distinction mattersWhat the "When Readiness Checklist" is and how to use it to assess where your family standsWhy "it's better to do right than to be right" applies equally to caregiving, leadership, and salesHow to give people around you permission to make mistakes by modeling it yourselfChapters(00:00) Introduction to Cory Fosco and A Question of When(05:05) Why Families Wait Too Long to Have the Conversation(07:28) How We Compensate and Make Excuses for Loved Ones(10:57) How to Optimize Preparation Time and Remove Stress From Big Decisions(14:18) The Fear of Messing Up and How to Take the Risk Off the Table(24:00) Listening as the Foundation of Caregiving, Sales, and Leadership(27:39) Why It's Better to Do Right Than to Be Right(33:13) How the Book Is Structured to Meet Families Where They Are(50:21) Core Principles for Navigating Difficult Family Conversations(52:31) How to Find Cory and Access His ResourcesAbout the GuestCory Fosco has spent over 34 years working at the intersection of long-term care, healthcare technology, and family decision-making. He began his career as a social worker, moved into admissions and senior care leadership, and now serves as VP of Enterprise Sales for one of the largest EMR platforms serving skilled nursing facilities. He is the author of A Question of When, a guide for families navigating eldercare decisions, and teaches creative writing to a wide range of students including the blind and visually impaired community through Second Sense in Chicago.Links and ResourcesA Question of When by Cory Fosco - https://a.co/d/0ciiLRpchttps://www.coryfosco.comFrom Values to Action by Harry Kramer - https://a.co/d/06m0h7lHSponsor Links:InQuasive: http://www.inquasive.com/Humintell: Body Language - Reading People - HumintellEnter Code INQUASIVE25 for 25% discount on your online training purchase.International Association of Interviewers: Home (certifiedinterviewer.com)Podcast Production Services by EveryWord Media

This series will challenge and encourage you to stay connected daily and live with purposeTo Learn more about Grace Church go to https://gracechurchco.com/In this message, Pastor Rick Long discusses the biblical principles of healthy love and relationships, drawing from the Book of Ruth to illustrate how God orchestrates connections for those who put Him first (8:05, 15:55).Core Principles for Healthy Relationships:Put God at the Center (21:35): Rather than seeking a partner to complete you—a notion the pastor identifies as a cultural lie—individuals should first prioritize their relationship with God, as only He can fulfill that role (29:38, 30:01).Pursue Commitment Over Chemistry (31:28): While attraction is real, long-term healthy love is built on character, loyalty, and dedication to God's plan, not just physical chemistry (33:14, 35:13).Honor Boundaries (39:18): Boundaries are presented as tools to protect love and integrity rather than restrictions. The pastor encourages maintaining purity and avoiding sexual compromise before marriage (40:03, 44:41).Invite Wise Counsel (49:43): Relying on godly, experienced voices is essential for avoiding isolation and navigating life's challenges. The pastor emphasizes the value of community and resources like Celebrate Recovery (50:13, 51:28).Trust God Beyond Your Control (52:39): Regardless of circumstances, trusting in God's sovereignty allows for peace and eventual restoration, as seen in the lineage of Ruth and Boaz (53:19).The Ultimate Example:Pastor Long concludes that the story of Ruth and Boaz points to the greater love story of Jesus Christ, the ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer, who died to buy humanity back from sin (56:00).Additional Notes:The message opens with a celebration of the Forge Christian High School girls' soccer team state championship win and highlights the church's ongoing community and educational initiatives (0:51, 1:01:17).0:00 Welcome to Grace Church0:41 Introduction to the Connect Series0:51 Celebrating Forge Christian High School Girls Soccer State Title8:05 Healthy Love Starts Here12:35 Worldly views vs. God's view of relationships15:55 The Book of Ruth: A model for love21:35 Principle 1: Put God at the center31:28 Principle 2: Pursue commitment over chemistry39:18 Principle 3: Honor boundaries49:43 Principle 4: Invite wise counsel52:39 Principle 5: Trust God beyond your control56:00 The ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer: Jesus57:30 Invitation to trust in Jesus1:01:17 Final announcements and closing worship

If you showed the same bitewing to 10 dentists, would they all agree on whether to pick up the drill? Why does the word monitoring mean nothing to a patient — and how does swapping it for active surveillance change everything from your notes to your indemnity to your government policy meetings? Is it overtreatment to act on an E2 lesion — or is “watch and wait” actually the lazy answer dressed up as minimally invasive? And what should you actually do with AI caries detection that flags shadows your eye doesn't see? In this episode, Professor Avijit Banerjee — Professor of Cariology & Operative Dentistry at King's College London, Honorary Consultant at Guy's & St Thomas', and First Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at the College of General Dentistry — sits down with Jaz for what is genuinely one of the most important caries conversations on the podcast. Part one of two. Avijit doesn't do soft answers. The drill-fill-bill model is broken. “Monitoring” needs to go. “Treatment planning” is antiquated terminology medics dropped twenty-five years ago. And AI in caries diagnosis? Useful — but the moment it gets things wrong, you are the one with indemnity, not the software. What you walk away with is a framework (MIOC), a decision filter (three factors that decide whether to pick up a bur), and a vocabulary shift you can implement tomorrow. Part two covers peptides, SDF, hydroxyapatite, stepwise excavation, and managing caries in xerostomia. https://youtu.be/YriLo8_hXNw Watch PDP268 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Delete the Word “Monitor” from Your Vocabulary Stop saying monitor. Start saying active surveillance. ⚠️ Active surveillance must not mean passive delay — document your reasoning, risk assessment, and what would trigger intervention. ✅ Explain it to patients as structured, proactive care: clinical checks, radiographs, risk review, behaviour support, and timely action if things change. Key Takeaways Minimum intervention oral care is bigger than minimally invasive dentistry. MIOC is prevention-based, person-focused, susceptibility-related, and delivered by the whole oral healthcare team. MID is only one part of MIOC: operative dentistry when a tooth actually needs intervention. The four MIOC domains are: identify the problem, prevent lesions and control disease, provide minimally invasive operative care, then reassess. A care plan is more useful than a treatment plan because it includes justification, prevention, behaviour change, and review. Ask patients what matters to you, not just what's the matter with you. Cavitation, cleansability, and lesion activity should guide whether to intervene operatively. A cavitated lesion that cannot be cleaned is much more likely to remain active. Smooth surface lesions may sometimes be made cleansable without conventional drilling. Restorations are not just about filling holes; they help recreate a cleansable tooth surface. There is no single perfect caries detection technology — clinical examination and good radiographs remain fundamental. If using NIRI, fluorescence, scanners, or AI, understand how the technology works and where it fails. AI should support diagnosis, not replace clinical judgement. For uncertain early lesions, triangulate: clinical findings, radiographs, risk, technology, and patient factors. Proximal resin infiltration has a role in the right patient and situation, especially as part of a wider prevention-led strategy.

This episode is for chiropractors who find themselves making practice decisions based more on what they dislike about others than what is actually best for their own clinic. Jerry Kennedy explores the common trap of overcorrecting. This happens when a chiropractor avoids helpful business or clinical strategies simply because a "sleazy" or "bad" doctor in town happens to use them. Leadership requires discernment rather than just reacting to the extremes. Whether it is following up with patients, providing structured care recommendations, or utilizing social media, you should not abandon effective tools just to distance yourself from a particular practice style. This conversation helps you separate your personal preferences from reactionary choices so you can lead your chiropractic business with clarity. Core Principles and Decision Lenses The Overcorrection Trap: Why avoiding certain behaviors because "that other doctor does it" can rob your practice of necessary growth tools. Leading with Discernment: Making choices based on your actual practice vision instead of purely on the principle of disagreement. The Trust Factor in Branding: Why using real photos and stories on your chiropractor website builds a human connection that generic images cannot match. Structure as Leadership: Understanding that providing a clear plan for patients is an act of leadership, not a sales tactic. Finding the Middle Ground: Navigating the gray areas between vitalism and evidence based care without becoming apologetic about your approach. Next Step Reflect on a recent decision you made to avoid a specific marketing or clinical tool. Was that choice based on your goals, or was it a reaction to someone else?

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough podcast, host Josh Hadley introduces his "TikTok Creator Engine," a structured system for turning product samples into loyal brand evangelists. Josh outlines five creator stages—Inactivated, Activated, Emerging, Performing, and Evangelist—and explains how to move creators through each using personalized outreach, gamification, community building, and targeted ad spend. He also details key team roles, essential KPIs, and onboarding strategies to replace the ineffective "spray and pray" approach with a scalable, relationship-driven affiliate program that generates consistent revenue.Links and Mentions:Tools and Websites"TikTok Creator Engine": "00:01:12""Shopify": "00:01:12""Amazon": "00:01:12""WhatsApp": "00:09:34""CRM (Creator Relationship Management System)": "00:11:42""TikTok Shop": "00:10:40""Fulfilled by TikTok": "00:13:55""Amazon MCF (Multi-Channel Fulfillment)": "00:13:55""Beehive": "21:31""Discord": "22:31""ChatGPT": "23:39"Videos and Playlists"YouTube Onboarding Videos": "00:18:51""YouTube Playlist for New Creators": "24:27"Concepts and Strategies"Creative Briefs": "23:39""Creative Brief": "00:42:53""Bingo Card Game": "28:51""Ad Spend Strategy": "00:39:18""Performance Coach Role": "00:41:54""Affiliate Support Specialist Role": "00:41:54""VIP Program": "00:43:50""Monthly Contests": "00:44:43""Personalized Contests": "00:48:19""Weekly Creator Calls": "26:10"Metrics and KPIs"Contact Information Capture": "00:51:08""Performance Metrics": "00:52:56""Pareto Principle": "00:45:38""Gamification": "00:44:43"Timestamps:00:00:00 Introducing the TikTok Creator EngineA systematic process to turn product samples into loyal brand evangelists, focusing on consistent revenue over viral moments.00:01:12 Host IntroductionJosh Hadley shares his background as an e-commerce entrepreneur, father, and host of the E-com Breakthrough podcast.00:02:17 Core Principles of the SystemThe system focuses on inspiring creators, tracking behavior, doubling down on winners, and ignoring the rest based on performance.00:04:10 Common Problems with Creator ProgramsOutlines issues brands face, such as creators not posting, one-off videos, wasted samples, and overreliance on TikTok DMs.00:06:49 The Five Stages of the Creator EngineAn overview of the five distinct stages creators move through: Inactivated, Activated, Emerging, Performing, and Brand Evangelist.00:10:40 The Required Team StructureDetails the three essential team roles needed to run the engine: Affiliate Support Specialist, Performance Coach, and Store Operations.00:15:03 Stage 1: Inactivated CreatorsFocuses on approving samples and, most importantly, capturing the creator's contact information to move them out of TikTok DMs.00:17:53 The 30-Day Onboarding SequenceA detailed breakdown of the first 30 days of communication, including emails and WhatsApp messages for new creators.00:21:31 Tools for the Activation ProgramDiscusses essential tools for creator activation, including email newsletters, community platforms like WhatsApp, and detailed creative briefs.00:24:27 The YouTube Onboarding PlaylistOutlines a mini-course for creators covering mindset, hook strategy, lighting, audio, and success stories to build relationships.00:28:51 Gamifying Onboarding: The Bingo CardA gamified "bingo card" system that incentivizes new creators to complete key tasks like posting multiple videos.00:30:42 Stage 2: Activated CreatorsCovers the team's actions once a creator posts their first video, including congratulations and providing initial feedback.00:33:29 High ROI Move: Boosting Videos with AdsA strategy to use small, targeted ad spend on new creators' videos to generate initial views and sales.00:35:29 Stage 3: Emerging CreatorsThe goal for this stage is to build consistency with creators who have momentum but aren't posting regularly.00:40:13 Stage 4: Performing CreatorsFocuses on scaling the output of consistent creators by building a personal relationship and offering exclusive VIP program invitations.00:45:38 Stage 5: Brand EvangelistsA high-touch strategy to retain top creators through personalized contests, gifts, and exclusive access to new products.00:50:16 Collecting Creator Contact InfoEmphasizes the critical importance of capturing creator contact information and offers creative methods like auto-DMs and product inserts.00:51:58 Key Metrics to MeasureA breakdown of the essential KPIs to track weekly, including samples sent, post rates, and GMV per stage.00:54:48 Daily Roles of the TeamA summary of the daily action items for the Affiliate Support Specialist and the Performance Coach within the system.00:55:50 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsA summary of the system's benefits, emphasizing that consistent action, refinement, and focus are the keys to success.Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  That activation stage is honestly the biggest miss that I see most brands like just completely skipping and they just go from inactivated creator to somebody went viral and it's as simple as that.

Jim Kalbach is the Chief Evangelist at Mural, where he helps teams uncover what customers actually need—not just what they say they want. Known for his work in Jobs to Be Done, experience mapping, and innovation, Jim has spent years helping organizations see beyond their products and into how buyers really think, decide, and act. In this episode, we unpack a simple but often overlooked truth: buyers don't start with problems—they start with solutions. Jim walks us through what's really happening beneath the surface—from how buyers recognize (or miss) their own problems, to how they search, evaluate, and eventually decide when to stop looking. Along the way, you'll learn how identifying unmet needs doesn't just improve your product—it sharpens your messaging, builds trust faster, and gives you a clearer path to pricing around real value.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Understand why buyers struggle to explain their own problems and how removing the solution from the conversation reveals what they actually need. Learn how Jobs to Be Done helps you predict buyer behavior by uncovering the unmet needs driving their decisions. Understand the moment buyers stop searching and how aligning with their real problem builds trust and increases conversion.   "Understand the problems first—and then price around that." – Jim Kalbach   Topics Covered: 02:08 – Why Buyers Struggle to Express Their Problems. Learn why buyers default to solutions instead of articulating real needs—and how that limits insight. 05:57 – The Jobs to Be Done Mindset Explained. Discover how removing the solution from the conversation helps uncover true customer problems. 10:06 – The Layers of Problems in Sales. Understand how to navigate from surface-level needs to deeper value-driving problems. 12:43 – Why Buyers Are Predicting the Future. Explore how every purchase is a bet on future outcomes—and what builds buyer confidence. 14:37 – Identifying Unmet Needs in the Market. Learn how uncovering unmet needs improves product-market fit, messaging, and adoption. 18:45 – Building Trust by Understanding Problems First. See how recognizing a buyer's problem before they articulate it creates instant credibility. 21:22 – Shifting from Product Thinking to Human Problems. Why focusing on the human problem—not the product—makes selling and pricing easier. 25:47 – Core Principles of the Jobs to Be Done Framework. Break down the key idea: temporarily remove the solution to better understand the job. 27:29 – Pricing Around Value Creation. Why pricing should be anchored in the problems you solve—not the product you sell.   Key Takeaways: "Try to understand the value that you can create by shifting your attention to the problems that you solve." – Jim Kalbach "The power of jobs to be done is let's not see things only through the lens of our own solution." – Jim Kalbach "Jobs to be done is trying to predict the future by creating a solution that fills an unmet need." – Jim Kalbach   Resources and People Mentioned: Jobs to Be Done (JTBD) – Framework for understanding customer behavior by focusing. Henry Ford – Referenced for the "faster horse" analogy, illustrating how customers describe needs based on existing solutions. Theodore Levitt – Known for the classic insight: people don't want a drill, they want a hole—used here to illustrate layers of customer problems.   Connect with Jim Kalbach: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kalbach  Website: www.jtbdtoolkit.com Jobs to be Done Playbook: https://experiencinginformation.com/jtbd-playbook/    Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com  

This episode is for chiropractors running a small chiropractic practice who are navigating the loud and often misleading world of online marketing advice. Whether you are seeing "viral" tips on TikTok, X, or Instagram, most chiropractic SEO and AI search advice is given in a vacuum. Jerry Kennedy discusses why even "good" advice can lead to failure if it ignores the unique competitive ecosystem of your chiropractic business. Many owners of a small healthcare business struggle with unrealistic expectations fueled by gurus claiming "all you have to do is" follow a few simple steps to rank #1. This conversation reframes search optimization as a competitive sport and a game of building trust. By understanding your local environment and focusing on local SEO for chiropractors, you can make smarter business decisions for chiropractors and avoid throwing marketing dollars down a pit. Core Principles of Search & Trust The Context Trap: Why advice given in a vacuum ignores the fact that chiropractor decision making must be based on the local competitors already established in your market . Search as a Trust Metric: Understanding that Google and AI rank a chiropractic practice based on accumulated data and "trust equity" rather than just recent technical changes . The Review Indicator: Using competitor review counts as a "tell" to determine if your market is "weak sauce" or a high-competition environment that requires a different strategy . Playing the Long Game: Why a solo chiropractor in a "big pond" should focus on low-cost authority building—like local backlinks and networking—before investing in expensive SEO packages . The Expectation Equation: How to avoid the frustration that comes when your expectations for getting found on Google as a chiropractor don't align with the reality of your market . Next Step Evaluate the "trust gap" in your local area by looking at your competitors' reviews. If you want a grounded perspective on your digital presence, request a free review at RocketChiro.com .

In this conversation, Patrick Van Der Burght, a leading expert in ethical persuasion and a partner of Dr. Cialdini, shares insights on the principles of persuasion, the importance of ethical practices in influencing others, and the science behind decision-making. He discusses his journey into the field, his connection with Dr. Cialdini, and the practical applications of persuasion techniques in various contexts, including digital environments. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between ethical persuasion and manipulation, the significance of building relationships, and the impact of decision fatigue on sales processes. Takeaways You can be productive without lying or cheating. Authority is a powerful principle of persuasion. Liking influences decisions more than we realize. Forceful sales tactics can damage credibility. Building relationships is key to successful persuasion. Ethical persuasion leads to long-term success. Decision-making is often driven by unconscious processes. Understanding your audience's decision-making system is crucial. Too many options can lead to decision fatigue. Simple changes can significantly improve persuasion outcomes.   "If you want to hear yes more often." "I can get lost editing videos." "I was faced with this challenge."

Rex shares how he galvanized a culturally fragmented team into national champions. Jen dives into the emotional intelligence required to coach high-performers and handle personal struggles as a leader. Dick gives hard-won lessons on delegation, trust, and building deep team culture through consistency and care.The episode blends sports and business in a way that reveals timeless truths about leadership, identity, and performance under pressure. Whether you're a founder, executive, or aspiring leader, this is a masterclass in cultivating winning teams without losing your humanity. TakeawaysEffective leadership requires upfront emotional investment—build trust before you ever coach performance.Winning cultures start with clarity: build, enhance, then sustain.Ego management is critical. A coach's first job is to neutralize ego—both theirs and the player's.Killer instinct can't be taught; it must be identified early and nurtured over time.Great leaders don't motivate the unmotivated—they hire self-starters and avoid demotivating them.Being human and apologizing authentically creates deeper relational capital and loyalty.Female leaders face invisible barriers—intentional mentorship and allyship are critical to systemic change.Tough love works when it's consistent, fair, and rooted in seeing people's full potential.Delegation is not a weakness—it's a multiplier. Trust and systems are prerequisites to scale.Great leadership requires learning to listen more than you speak—and never assuming you're the smartest person in the room.Long-term success comes from defining a plan, surrounding yourself with good people, and showing them you care.Chapters00:00 Intro: Mastermind Compilation of Leadership Wisdom00:42 Rex Kalamian: Building Armenia's National Basketball Team03:54 Uniting Diverse Talent and Building Belief06:15 Leading with Sacrifice and Mission-Driven Mindset07:23 Coaching Superstar Egos with Relationship-First Approach09:07 Can Killer Instinct Be Taught or Is It Innate?12:22 Translating Lessons from Sports into Business13:46 Jen Welter: Performance Dips & Empathetic Leadership15:27 “Do You Need a Minute?” — Spotting the Signs of Mental Strain17:59 Balancing Leadership While Being Human21:50 Lessons for Women Breaking Barriers in Leadership24:55 The Power of Mentorship and Intentional Advocacy25:19 Dick Vermeil: Tough Love and Consistent Standards27:00 When Talent Isn't Matched by Work Ethic28:26 Bringing People Into Your Home to Build Culture30:35 Delegation, Obsession, and Why He Walked Away in '8233:14 How to Evaluate Talent Beyond Interviews35:08 Can Leadership Be Taught or Is It Born?36:33 Coach Vermeil's Playbook: 7 Core Principles of Winning38:52 Final Thoughts and Outro by AvetisResources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

BONUS: The Operating System for Software-Native Organizations - The Five Core Principles In this BONUS episode, the final installment of our Special Xmas 2025 reflection on Software-native businesses, we explore the five fundamental principles that form the operating system for software-native organizations. Building on the previous four episodes, this conversation provides the blueprint for building organizations that can adapt at the speed of modern business demands, where the average company lifespan on the S&P 500 has dropped from 33 years in the 1960s to a projected 12 years by 2027. The Challenge of Adaptation "What we're observing in Ukraine is adaptation happening at a speed that would have been unthinkable in traditional military contexts - new drone capabilities emerge, countermeasures appear within days, and those get countered within weeks." The opening draws a powerful parallel between the rapid adaptation we're witnessing in drone warfare and the existential threats facing modern businesses. While our businesses aren't facing literal warfare, they are confronting dramatic disruption. Clayton Christensen documented this in "The Innovator's Dilemma," but what he observed in the 1970s and 80s is happening exponentially faster now, with software as the accelerant. If we can improve businesses' chances of survival even by 10-15%, we're talking about thousands of companies that could thrive instead of fail, millions of jobs preserved, and enormous value created. The central question becomes: how do you build an organization that can adapt at this speed? Principle 1: Constant Experimentation with Tight Feedback Loops "Everything becomes an experiment. Not in the sense of being reckless or uncommitted, but in being clear about what we're testing and what we expect to learn. I call this: work like a scientist: learning is the goal." Software developers have practiced this for decades through Test-Driven Development, but now this TDD mindset is becoming the ruling metaphor for managing products and entire businesses. The practice involves framing every initiative with three clear elements: the goal (what are we trying to achieve?), the action (what specific thing will we do?), and the learning (what will we measure to know if it worked?). When a client says "we need to improve our retrospectives," software-native organizations don't just implement a new format. Instead, they connect it to business value - improving the NPS score for users of a specific feature by running focused retrospectives that explicitly target user pain points and tracking both the improvements implemented and the actual NPS impact. After two weeks, you know whether it worked. The experiment mindset means you're always learning, never stuck. This is TDD applied to organizational change, and it's powerful because every process change connects directly to customer outcomes. Principle 2: Clear Connection to Business Value "Software-native organizations don't measure success by tasks completed, story points delivered, or features shipped. Or even cycle time or throughput. They measure success by business outcomes achieved." While this seems obvious, most organizations still optimize for output, not outcomes. The practice uses Impact Mapping or similar outcome-focused frameworks where every initiative answers three questions: What business behavior are we trying to change? How will we measure that change? What's the minimum software needed to create that change? A financial services client wanted to "modernize their reporting system" - a 12-month initiative with dozens of features in project terms. Reframed through a business value lens, the goal became reducing time analysts spend preparing monthly reports from 80 hours to 20 hours, measured by tracking actual analyst time, starting with automating just the three most time-consuming report components. The first delivery reduced time to 50 hours - not perfect, but 30 hours saved, with clear learning about which parts of reporting actually mattered. The organization wasn't trying to fulfill requirements; they were laser focused on the business value that actually mattered. When you're connected to business value, you can adapt. When you're committed to a feature list, you're stuck. Principle 3: Software as Value Amplifier "Software isn't just 'something we do' or a support function. Software is an amplifier of your business model. If your business model generates $X of value per customer through manual processes, software should help you generate $10X or more." Before investing in software, ask whether this can amplify your business model by 10x or more - not 10% improvement, but 10x. That's the threshold where software's unique properties (zero marginal cost, infinite scale, instant distribution) actually matter, and where the cost/value curve starts to invert. Remember: software is still the slowest and most expensive way to check if a feature would deliver value, so you better have a 10x or more expectation of return. Stripe exemplifies this principle perfectly. Before Stripe, accepting payments online required a merchant account (weeks to set up), integration with payment gateways (months of development), and PCI compliance (expensive and complex). Stripe reduced that to adding seven lines of code - not 10% easier, but 100x easier. This enabled an entire generation of internet businesses that couldn't have existed otherwise: subscription services, marketplaces, on-demand platforms. That's software as amplifier. It didn't optimize the old model; it made new models possible. If your software initiatives are about 5-10% improvements, ask yourself: is software the right medium for this problem, or should you focus where software can create genuine amplification? Principle 4: Software as Strategic Advantage "Software-native organizations use software for strategic advantage and competitive differentiation, not just optimization, automation, or cost reduction. This means treating software development as part of your very strategy, not a way to implement a strategy that is separate from the software." This concept, discussed with Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel on the podcast as "continuous strategy," means that instead of creating a strategy every few years and deploying it like a project, strategy and execution are continuously intertwined when it comes to software delivery. The practice involves organizing around competitive capabilities that software uniquely enables by asking: How can software 10x the value we generate right now? What can we do with software that competitors can't easily replicate? Where does software create a defensible advantage? How does our software create compounding value over time? Amazon Web Services didn't start as a product strategy but emerged from Amazon building internal capabilities to run their e-commerce platform at scale. They realized they'd built infrastructure that was extremely hard to replicate and asked: "What if we offered it to others?" AWS became Amazon's most profitable business - not because they optimized their existing retail business, but because they turned an internal capability into a strategic platform. The software wasn't supporting the strategy - the software became the strategy. Compare this to companies that use software just for cost reduction or process optimization - they're playing defense. Software-native companies use software to play offense, creating capabilities that change the competitive landscape. Continuous strategy means your software capabilities and your business strategy evolve together, in real-time, not in annual planning cycles. Principle 5: Real-Time Observability and Adaptive Systems "Software-native organizations use telemetry and real-time analytics not just to understand their software, but to understand their entire business and adapt dynamically. Observability practices from DevOps are actually ways of managing software delivery itself. We're bootstrapping our own operating system for software businesses." This principle connects back to Principle 1 but takes it to the organizational level. The practice involves building systems that constantly sense what's happening and can adapt in real-time: deploy with feature flags so you can turn capabilities on/off instantly, use A/B testing not just for UI tweaks but for business model experiments, instrument everything so you know how users actually behave, and build feedback loops that let the system respond automatically. Social media companies and algorithmic trading firms already operate this way. Instagram doesn't deploy a new feed algorithm and wait six months to see if it works - they're constantly testing variations, measuring engagement in real-time, adapting the algorithm continuously. The system is sensing and responding every second. High-frequency trading firms make thousands of micro-adjustments per day based on market signals. Imagine applying this to all businesses: a retail company that adjusts pricing, inventory, and promotions in real-time based on demand signals; a healthcare system that dynamically reallocates resources based on patient flow patterns; a logistics company whose routing algorithms adapt to traffic, weather, and delivery success rates continuously. This is the future of software-native organizations - not just fast decision-making, but systems that sense and adapt at software speed, with humans setting goals and constraints but software executing continuous optimization. We're moving from "make a decision, deploy it, wait to see results" to "deploy multiple variants, measure continuously, let the system learn." This closes the loop back to Principle 1 - everything is an experiment, but now the experiments run automatically at scale with near real-time signal collection and decision making. It's Experiments All The Way Down "We established that software has become societal infrastructure. That software is different - it's not a construction project with a fixed endpoint; it's a living capability that evolves with the business." This five-episode series has built a complete picture: Episode 1 established that software is societal infrastructure and fundamentally different from traditional construction. Episode 2 diagnosed the problem - project management thinking treats software like building a bridge, creating cascade failures throughout organizations. Episode 3 showed that solutions already exist, with organizations like Spotify, Amazon, and Etsy practicing software-native development successfully. Episode 4 exposed the organizational immune system - the four barriers preventing transformation: the project mindset, funding models, business/IT separation, and risk management theater. Today's episode provides the blueprint - the five principles forming the operating system for software-native organizations. This isn't theory. This is how software-native organizations already operate. The question isn't whether this works - we know it does. The question is: how do you get started? The Next Step In Building A Software-Native Organization "This is how transformation starts - not with grand pronouncements or massive reorganizations, but with conversations and small experiments that compound over time. Software is too important to society to keep managing it wrong." Start this week by doing two things.  First, start a conversation: pick one of these five principles - whichever resonates most with your current challenges - and share it with your team or leadership. Don't present it as "here's what we should do" but as "here's an interesting idea - what would this mean for us?" That conversation will reveal where you are, what's blocking you, and what might be possible.  Second, run one small experiment: take something you're currently doing and frame it as an experiment with a clear goal, action, and learning measure. Make it small, make it fast - one week maximum, 24 hours if you can - then stop and learn. You now have the blueprint. You understand the barriers. You've seen the alternatives. The transformation is possible, and it starts with you.
