Brian From reflects on a deeply personal parenting moment as his children head out on mission trips, exploring the bittersweet reality of releasing them into independence. Drawing lessons from sports heartbreak, he examines how public failure can feel defining—but why, in Christ, our worst moments do not get the final word. The episode closes with a thoughtful challenge to hustle culture, questioning whether nonstop work is something to admire, and inviting listeners to consider healthier rhythms rooted in grace, rest, and identity rather than achievement.

Gerard Parvilus and his wife had been married for two years and shared a young son. Both were members of the U.S. Air Force and were stationed at Holloman AFB. But by 2007, their marriage was unraveling. The couple separated geographically, each taking short overseas tours. She went to Kuwait. He went to South Korea. During that separation, Gerard's wife asked for a divorce. Then she admitted something else: while deployed, she had met another man. That confession alone was devastating. But it wasn't the end of it. She later revealed that she had become pregnant by her lover, Pierre Smith, and terminated the pregnancy after returning to New Mexico.  The fallout from that confession was immediate. Gerard spiraled. He then went AWOL from Kunsan Air Base. What happened next would leave one man dead, shock everyone involved, and ultimately reshape New Mexico law. Dig in with Margot as she unpacks this love-triangle murder case involving a dual-military couple, an affair, an AWOL airman, two kidnappings, and a legal precedent that still stands today. ⸻

In this episode of The Westminster Podcast, Nate Shannon speaks from Istanbul with Göksel Erdoğdu, the first—and so far only—graduate of Westminster Theological Seminary from Turkey. Göksel shares his remarkable personal story as a second-generation Christian in a predominantly Muslim context, recounting how the gospel first came to his family amid social pressure, cultural shame, and political instability. From his upbringing in the Turkish church to his theological formation at Westminster, Göksel reflects on God's faithfulness in sustaining both faith and witness across generations. The conversation explores the present state of the church in Turkey, including the legal challenges facing Protestant congregations, the need for sound theological resources, and the growing hunger among younger believers for serious engagement with Scripture. Göksel also describes his current ministry work as a pastor, publisher, and translator, and explains how Westminster's emphasis on biblical foundations, apologetics, and cultural engagement has shaped his approach to ministry in a Muslim context. The episode concludes with a call to prayer and partnership, inviting listeners to consider how God may be at work in Turkey—and how the global church can faithfully support that work.

Don and Steve are back with another round of Business & Bullsh*t, where real entrepreneurs break down wins, screwups, and what actually moves the needle, without the corporate fluff.It starts with a simple question. What is the most you would ever pay for a cup of coffee?That question gets real when a café in Dubai offers a $980 cup made from rare Nido 7 Geisha beans, with only 400 cups available worldwide. Absurd, or brilliant?From there, the conversation opens up into a deeper look at business reinvention, brand fatigue, and the real cost of change. Don and Steve unpack Panera's return to its “apex,” focusing on value, menu refreshes, and the decision to prioritize food over flashy tech. That leads into a broader discussion about innovation versus human connection, and what brands risk losing when they chase trends instead of trust. Don also shares firsthand challenges from the ongoing Clean Eatz rebrand.The episode wraps with sharp takes on skyrocketing Super Bowl ad costs, shifting brand loyalty among Gen Z, pop culture detours, bourbon mashups, and a fast-paced round of the Founderz Fast Five.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[01:03] Founderz Round Up: Panera[05:40] Super Bowl Commercials[08:17] Pop Culture: Nicki Minaj[10:05] Jeffrey Epstein[11:29] Social Media Update[11:56] Lululemon Stock[15:06] Strange News[17:07] Weekly Mashup[20:41] Hot Takes: Modern Heritage[26:18] Founderz Fast FiveKey Takeaways:  • Gen Z is cutting spending by 13% this year.

Megan Rudolph talks about her career journey; developing a team through hypergrowth; the challenges & opportunities for parcel in 2026; & finding inspiration.    IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [02.15] An introduction to Megan and Saddle Creek Logistics Services. [03.00] Megan's early career dream of sports journalism, how graduating during the recession led her to take a sales job at UPS, and what she found so fascinating about logistics. "There was a great structure. I worked under multiple female leaders – some of the people that probably don't even know how much they mentored me still impact me today." [05.31] How having the opportunity to wear many different hats helped Megan find her niche, what she learned from her time working for both UPS and DHL, and the experience that led her to discover the power of authenticity. [10.36] A day in Megan's life as the regional senior director of parcel operations at Saddle Creek Logistics Services. "There was an opportunity for me to delegate more, and that was tough for me… But, as the team grew, bringing in people I could trust really got me away from 12 meetings a day, and I got a more balanced workload... My team manages up very well, and I'm thankful for that!" [13.07] How Megan successfully grew her department through 'hypergrowth,' and her advice for other leaders looking to supercharge their own teams in 2026. "One of the best things that served me was hiring a diverse group of people that balanced my skillset. I'm pretty risk averse, data-centric, I want to have all the questions solved before we even hit go. So I needed individuals that were great at solving while in action…. Don't hire people that think like you." [16.00] Megan's perspective on the parcel industry, and the big challenges and opportunities she's thinking about for 2026. "Cost continues to increase year over year, for us and our clients. So the only way to really drive savings is through optimization." [19.26] What Megan loves about the industry. [21.01] Megan's experience as a woman in the industry, how she learned to trust her instincts and speak up, and why she's so passionate about starting conversations and opening up perspectives. [26.17] What being an industry trailblazer means to Megan, and how she's using it to empower others. [28.05] Megan's biggest inspirations in her life and career. [29.56] The future for Megan.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   You can connect with Megan over on LinkedIn.

In this episode, I sat down with Andrew Giancola to talk about what actually builds wealth, ownership, leverage, and playing long-term games. We got into the mindset shifts that helped me go from a service business to raising tens of millions of dollars, and how Andrew made the leap from financial stress to financial freedom. This conversation is packed with lessons for anyone serious about escaping the treadmill and building something that lasts.

Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop? One Deputy's Story of Trauma, Survival, and a Mission to Help Others. Special Episode. For years, fentanyl has dominated headlines as a driving force behind America's overdose crisis. What's discussed far less often is how this drug impacts the first responders who encounter it in the line of duty. For Deputy Jeff Brown, a long-serving law enforcement officer, accidental fentanyl exposure didn't just spark a frightening moment, it caused permanent injuries, ongoing trauma, and a new mission focused on helping others. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. By any measure, Jeff Brown is a law enforcement hero. But one accidental fentanyl exposure nearly ended his life, and forever changed it. This special episode is streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform This is not just a story for the news-cycle. It's a story meant to be shared on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and across platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify, because it speaks to the hidden cost of service, the reality of trauma, stress, PTSD, and the lasting injuries many heroes carry long after the call ends. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Accidental Fentanyl Exposure Almost Claimed His Life Jeff Brown had built a distinguished law enforcement career when one routine encounter with drug abusers turned into a life-threatening emergency. During the incident, Jeff and his backup deputies were accidentally exposed to fentanyl. The effects were immediate and terrifying. Had it not been for department-issued Narcan and the training the deputies received, Jeff believes he and others would not have survived. In a matter of minutes, deputies were forced to save each other's lives. Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop? One Deputy's Story of Trauma, Survival, and a Mission to Help Others. Special Episode. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. They lived, but not without consequence. For Jeff, the exposure caused permanent damage to his heart, altering his health and his future. What should have been just another shift became the defining moment of his life. The Aftermath: Injuries, Recovery, and a Broken System Surviving the incident was only the beginning. Jeff openly talks about: The physical recovery and lingering medical issues The emotional toll and ongoing stress Battles with Worker's Compensation The lack of understanding surrounding first responder injuries The rarely discussed crime problem in a tourist-driven resort area Like many first responders, Jeff learned that surviving the job does not guarantee support afterward. The system often struggles to recognize invisible injuries, especially when fear, misinformation, and stigma surround incidents involving fentanyl. Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop? One Deputy's Story of Trauma, Survival, and a Mission to Help Others. Special Episode. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Fentanyl Misinformation and First Responder Trauma In 2016, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) released advisories warning that simply touching or inhaling fentanyl could be fatal within minutes. Images of tiny, allegedly lethal doses circulated widely, reinforcing fear among first responders. At the time, the narrative felt plausible. Illicit fentanyl was flooding the streets, and officers had limited information. Later, medical experts, including the American College of Medical Toxicology and the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology clarified that incidental exposure leading to overdose is extremely unlikely. Other countries adjusted their guidance accordingly. Special Episode. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. But misinformation lingers, and it carries consequences. Officers who believe they've been exposed can experience panic attacks, hyperventilation, vertigo, and racing heart rates. These symptoms are real and distressing, yet often misinterpreted as fentanyl toxicity. In a culture where fear is seen as weakness, these events can go under-reported or misdiagnosed, potentially leading to delayed or inappropriate medical care. We stand by this critical point: Accidental fentanyl exposure can have drastic effects when combined with preexisting health conditions, particularly involving the heart. These incidents deserve serious, compassionate, and accurate medical evaluation. Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop? One Deputy's Story of Trauma, Survival, and a Mission to Help Others. Special Episode. The special episode can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. The FDA Warning: When Fentanyl Exposure Is Truly Deadly While incidental exposure myths persist among adults, there is one area where the danger is undisputed. The FDA warns that accidental exposure to fentanyl patches continues to be deadly to children. Fentanyl patches are prescribed for opioid-tolerant patients and release fentanyl through the skin over several days. Tragically, children have died after: Putting used or unused patches in their mouths Sticking patches onto their skin Even used patches can contain enough fentanyl to be fatal. The FDA urges caregivers to: Store patches securely Dispose of them properly Keep naloxone readily available If a child is suspected of exposure, call 911 immediately. Trauma, PTSD, and the Cost of Service Jeff's story highlights a truth many don't want to face: trauma doesn't end when the sirens stop. First responders routinely carry: Cumulative stress Psychological trauma PTSD Chronic health problems These issues affect not only their careers but their families, hobbies, and identities. For many even the simple joys of fishing and hunting, once outlets for peace, were impacted by his injuries and recovery. Did Fentanyl Almost Kill a Cop?

The full podcast episode is streaming now on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Turning Pain Into Purpose: Hometown Heroes Alliance Instead of walking away, Jeff chose to give back. He now dedicates his time to Hometown Heroes Alliance, a nonprofit organization that supports wounded, injured, and disabled first responders, those who are often left financially and emotionally vulnerable after serving their communities. Hometown Heroes Alliance focuses on: Raising awareness for injured first responders Providing financial, physical, and emotional support Hosting benefit events, including concerts Producing brand-funded television and digital media to amplify impact From hurricane-stricken areas in Florida and Texas to less-publicized tragedies across the country, the organization helps heroes who lost homes, suffered disabling injuries, or sacrificed everything while protecting others.

As long as there are heroes answering the call, there will be a need for compassion—and action. A Story That Needs to Be Heard Jeff Brown's journey is more than a headline. It's a reminder that behind every badge is a human being who absorbs trauma so others don't have to. This story belongs on every platform, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, and Podcast networks, because awareness saves lives, corrects misinformation, and honors those who continue to serve, even after the job nearly takes everything from them. He survived fentanyl exposure. He lives with the injuries. And he refuses to stop fighting for his fellow heroes.

Season 14, Episode 382 reviews chapters 4–7 of Think and Grow Rich for Sales, showing how autosuggestion, specialized knowledge, imagination, and organized planning transform inner belief into consistent sales results. This episode explains practical steps to program confidence, build authority, paint future outcomes for buyers, and design repeatable sales systems that create certainty and close deals more naturally. Today EP 382 PART 2 of our Think and Grow Rich for Sales Series, we will cover: ✔ Chapter 4: Autosuggestion: How Your Inner Script Becomes Your Outer Results  Sales Application (Practical Use) Pre-call priming: Speak your outcome out loud before every call (“I bring clarity and certainty to this conversation.”) Language audit: Eliminate soft phrases (“I think,” “hopefully,” “maybe”) from your sales vocabulary. Repetition builds belief: Read your sales goals twice daily as if already achieved. Emotion matters: Read goals with feeling—belief is emotional, not intellectual. Interrupt negative mindsets: Replace “They won't buy” with “I help people make confident decisions.” Consistency over intensity: Daily repetition beats occasional motivation. Key Insight: Belief is built deliberately, not accidentally. ✔ Chapter 5: Specialized Knowledge: From Information to Authority  5 Sales Application Tips Organize your expertise into simple frameworks buyers can easily follow. Know their world better than they do—pain points, language, pressures, timing. Stop overloading: Say less, but say it with authority. Borrow brilliance: Use mentors, subject experts, and masterminds to extend your knowledge. Teach while you sell: Authority grows when you help buyers understand, not when you impress them. Key Insight: You are not selling information. You are selling guidance. ✔ Chapter 6: Imagination: Where Sales Innovation Is Born 7 Sales Application Tips Paint the “after” picture: Describe life, work, or outcomes post-solution. Use sensory language: Help them see, feel, and experience the result. Rehearse success aloud: Walk the buyer through implementation as if it's already happening. Normalize the decision: Familiarity reduces fear and resistance. Tell transformation stories: Stories activate imagination faster than facts. Slow the moment down: Imagination needs space—don't rush the close. Anchor certainty visually: “Imagine six months from now…” becomes a mental commitment. Key Insight: People don't buy solutions. They buy who they become after the solution. ✔ Chapter 7: Organized Planning: Putting Desire Into Action 6 Sales Application Tips Create a repeatable sales process you trust and follow consistently. Plan the work—then work the plan, even when results lag. Refine the plan, not the goal when setbacks occur. Prepare for objections before they arise—confidence comes from readiness. Track behaviors, not just outcomes (calls, follow-ups, conversations). Use structure to eliminate emotion-based decisions during the sales cycle. Key Insight: A plan creates certainty. Certainty creates momentum. Welcome back to our final series of SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series (2022) For today's EP 382, we continue with PART 2 of our Review of Think and Grow Rich for Sales, connecting back to our 6-PART Series from 2022[i]. Back in 2022, we didn't just read Think and Grow Rich—we lived inside it as we launched our year. Over a 6-part series that began the beginning of January 2022, we walked through this book chapter by chapter, not as theory, but as a personal operating system for growth, performance, and results. At the time, the focus of our 6 PART Series was broad. We covered: Personal development Mindset mastery Vision, purpose, and belief We covered the BASICS of this book that my mentor, Bob Proctor studied for his entire lifetime (over 50 years) that can be applied to whatever it is that you want to create with our life. Today, we are going to look at this timeless piece of knowledge, through a new lens. What we're covering today—PART 2 of our Study of Think and Grow Rich for Sales—is not new material. It's the application of this series, towards a specific discipline. You could apply this book to any discipline, but this one, I have wanted to cover for a very long time. How the 6-Part Series Maps DIRECTLY to Sales Mastery Here's the reframe that matters: Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied correctly. Each of the 10 chapters explains how to further improve our inner state, and then we walk through how to make this change occur in our outer world, connecting each principal for the salesperson. And just a reminder that you don't need to be in sales for these principles to work for us. Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich Through a modern neuroscience + sales lens   Chapter IV: Autosuggestion The Inner Script Behind Every Sales Call Core Idea: Your subconscious mind is always selling—either for you or against you. Sales Application: Language patterns that leak doubt Why we program confidence before the call Why tone matters more than technique Listener Takeaway: The buyer responds to your energy, not your words. Chapter IV — Autosuggestion How Your Inner Script Becomes Your Outer Results Autosuggestion is the bridge between what you think and what you experience. I first learned this concept while working with Bob Proctor in the seminar industry, and it fundamentally changed the way I understand my own personal results—both in life and in sales. At its core, autosuggestion is about creating order in the mind, (first) so your inner script consistently produces your outer results. The visual model that explains this in one simple view is the stickperson diagram, originally developed by Dr. Thurman Fleet in 1934. You'll see this image in the show notes, labeled A, B, and C. Here is what this diagram means. The Three Parts of the Mind IMAGE IDEA: From Dr. Thurman Fleet 1937 with his idea of Concept Therapy. A — Conscious Mind (Thinking Mind) This is the part of your mind you use when you are actively thinking: reading studying learning solving problems consciously making decisions This is where logic lives. B — Non-Conscious Mind (Emotional Mind) This is the most powerful part of the mind—and the most misunderstood. The non-conscious mind: accepts whatever enters it does not judge truth from falsehood operates primarily through repetition and emotion This is why: who you surround yourself with matters what you listen to matters what you repeatedly tell yourself matters Your non-conscious mind becomes the program that runs your behavior. C — Body The body is the instrument of the mind. Your body inherits what your mind expresses: thoughts affect emotions emotions affect physiology physiology affects behavior and results This is why mindset impacts: health energy confidence performance And why our thoughts, feelings and actions ultimately determine our results. They create our conditions, our circumstances and our environment. Why Autosuggestion Matters (Real Life Example) Because I learned this before I had children, I became extremely intentional about what was playing in the background of our home. News, negativity, and fear-based messaging go straight into the non-conscious mind—especially when the mind is in a submissive state, such as: early childhood (when your mind is wide open) right before sleep also while eating when relaxed or emotionally open This state of mind doesn't just affect children. It affects adults too. What we repeatedly hear becomes how we feel—and eventually how we act. This is why autosuggestion is not wishful thinking. It is mental conditioning. Autosuggestion and Alignment (Praxis) When your thoughts, feelings and emotions are aligned, you enter a state called praxis—the point where belief and behavior match. How do we enter this state? By: writing your goals reading them aloud repeating them twice daily you gradually impress belief onto the non-conscious mind. Over time: belief strengthens faith develops behavior shifts automatically Eventually, you don't have to force confidence. It becomes natural. Beyond the Five Senses: The Higher Faculties Before moving into Chapter V — Specialized Knowledge, it's important to introduce one of the most overlooked ideas Napoleon Hill emphasized: It's the 6 higher faculties of the mind. If you revisit Episode #67[ii], I explain how living only through our five senses can limit results. Our five senses are connected to the conscious mind. But beyond them lie six higher faculties, including: imagination intuition perception will reason memory Hill believed intuition and imagination were so powerful that he devoted entire chapters to them. These faculties allow us to: access deeper insight perceive what others miss gain a competitive advantage Intuition: A Sales Superpower If I had to choose three higher faculties most useful in sales for us to develop, they would be: intuition perception will Let's focus on intuition. Intuition is the mental tool that allows you to feel truth: a gut sense an inner knowing a subtle emotional signal It develops with practice—and trust. Putting Intuition Into Action (Sales) When you're presenting to someone, intuition answers questions like: Are they engaged, but holding a question? Do they need more information—or less? Is it time to continue… or time to ask for the decision? Highly intuitive sales professionals can sense: certainty hesitation trust resistance —even without being in the same room with this person. Sales at Its Highest Level This brings us back to Paul Martinelli's reminder: “Sales at its highest level is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty.” When intuition is developed, you know: when certainty has been transferred when the buyer is ready when the close is natural Eventually, as your higher faculties become conditioned through autosuggestion, you access them automatically—without effort or overthinking. Closing Thought — Chapter IV: Autosuggestion Autosuggestion is not about forcing belief. It's about training alignment. When your thoughts, emotions, and actions match: confidence becomes automatic intuition sharpens results follow naturally Your inner script always becomes your outer results. And that's why autosuggestion is not optional. It's foundational. Chapter V: Specialized Knowledge Why Authority Always Outsells Enthusiasm Core Idea: Knowledge only becomes power when it's organized and applied. Sales Application: Moving from “presenter” to trusted expert Leading the conversation instead of reacting Why winging it destroys certainty Listener Takeaway: Mastery creates calm authority. Chapter V — Specialized Knowledge Why Expertise—Not Information—Creates Sales Success To further refine what we want to achieve, Chapter 5 of Think and Grow Rich introduces a critical distinction: not all knowledge is created equally. Napoleon Hill explains that it is specialized knowledge—not general knowledge—that separates you from everyone else and makes you valuable. Knowledge alone, Hill reminds us, is only potential power. “Knowledge (general or specialized) must be organized and intelligently directed, and is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.” (Chapter V, p. 79, TAGR) In other words: Information does nothing on its own. Application is everything. Why This Matters (Education vs. Application) This becomes clear when we think about formal education. Much of what we learn in school is general knowledge—useful only if we apply it in a specific way. Hill calls this the missing link in education: “The failure of educational institutions is that it fails to teach students HOW TO ORGANIZE AND USE KNOWLEDGE after they acquire it.” (Chapter V, p. 80, TAGR) This insight alone explains why so many intelligent people struggle to produce results—especially in sales. They know a lot, but they haven't organized that knowledge into a repeatable system of action. Henry Ford and the Myth of ‘Not Being Educated' Henry Ford is Hill's perfect example. Ford famously said he had a row of buttons on his desk—buttons he could press to access any knowledge he needed. He didn't need to personally possess all information. He needed to know: where to get it who to ask how to apply it Hill wrote: “Any person is educated who knows where to get knowledge when needed, and how to organize that knowledge into definite plans of action.” (Chapter V, p. 81, TAGR) Through his Master Mind, Ford had access to all the specialized knowledge required to become one of the wealthiest men in America. This is a critical lesson for sales professionals: You do not need to know everything. You need to know what matters most, and how to apply it. Why Some Ideas Succeed and Others Don't This principle explains why some books—and businesses—succeed at extraordinary levels while others, though insightful, fall short. Take Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Its impact wasn't just the ideas—it was the framework. Covey gave readers clear steps for how to apply each habit in real life. Contrast that with Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. An incredible book, (I love this book- I own it-and it's on my bookshelf). It's rich in insight—but for many readers, it's difficult to apply without additional guidance or structure. The difference is not wisdom. It's organized, specialized knowledge. “Knowledge is not power until it is organized into definite plans of action.” (Chapter V, p. 80, TAGR) What ‘Educated' Really Means Hill reminds us that education does not mean memorization or credentials. The word educate comes from the Latin educo, meaning: to draw out to develop from within An educated person is not someone with the most information—but someone who has developed the faculties of their mind to acquire, apply, and direct knowledge effectively. This is where Specialized Knowledge intersects with: imagination intuition perception will —faculties we explored earlier in the series. Chapter V Specialized Knowledge Applied to Sales In sales, Specialized Knowledge looks like this: Knowing your customer's world, not just your product Understanding patterns in their world that match with yours, not scripts that lack meaning Being able to simplify complexity for the buyer Organizing your knowledge into a repeatable sales process This is what creates authority. When something comes naturally to you—but amazes others—you are operating in specialized knowledge. That's where confidence comes from. That's where trust is built. That's where sales success compounds. How to Use Specialized Knowledge to Reach New Heights (Sales Tips) 1. Identify What You Do Naturally Well Ask yourself: What do people come to me for? What feels obvious to me but confusing to others? That's your starting point for specialization. 2. Organize Your Knowledge into a Framework Turn what you know into: a process a checklist a conversation flow Frameworks build confidence—for you and the buyer where you can point to them clearly where they are in the process, showing them how to move to where they want to go. 3. Learn Continuously—but Selectively Don't collect information. Acquire purposeful knowledge aligned to your goal. Ask: Does this help me serve better? Does this help my buyer decide? 4. Use a Master Mind No top performer succeeds alone. Surround yourself with: mentors peers coaches Borrow knowledge, insight, and certainty with every action that you take. 5. Apply, Review, Refine Specialized knowledge compounds only when used. Apply what you learn. Review results. Refine your approach. This is how expertise is built. Final Insight — Chapter V: Specialized Knowledge Sales success does not come from knowing more. It comes from knowing what matters, organizing it into action, and applying it consistently. When Specialized Knowledge is combined with Imagination, it creates something powerful: A unique and successful business. And this brings us naturally to the next chapters—where imagination, planning, and decision transform knowledge into results. Chapter VI: Imagination Selling the Future Before the Close                  Core Idea: People buy future identity, not features. Sales Application: Painting the “after” state Emotional buy-in before logical justification Don't quit when you are at “3 Feet from Gold” (Chapter 1, TAGR, Page 5). Listener Takeaway People don't buy solutions. They buy who they become after the solution. And it is the salesperson's role to activate the buyer's imagination—to help them see themselves on the other side of the decision. This brings us back to Paul Martinelli's reminder: “Sales at its highest level is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty.” Imagination is what creates that certainty. Before a buyer can feel certain, they must first imagine the outcome: life after their problem is solved success after the decision is made themselves operating at a higher level When imagination is engaged, certainty follows. And when certainty is present, the decision becomes natural. Can you see how all of these success principles tie into each other? Like the colors of the rainbow. Chapter VI: Imagination Review of Chapter VI — Our Imagination “Imagination is everything,” according to American author and radio speaker Earl Nightingale, who devoted much of his work to human character development, motivation, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. Every great invention is created in two places: first in the mind of the inventor, and then in the physical world when the idea is brought into form. Our lives reflect how effectively we use our imagination. When we reach a plateau of success, it is not effort alone that takes us to the next level—it is imagination. Imagination allows us to see beyond our current circumstances and envision what is possible next. This is why creating a crystal-clear vision is so important. When we write and read our vision twice a day, we intentionally activate our imagination. Writing and reading that vision in detail stimulates recognition centers in the brain. What may initially feel unrealistic or even like a “pipe dream” begins to feel familiar. Over time, the brain accepts it as something possible—something achievable. Eventually, what once felt distant becomes something you can see yourself doing. And then, one day, what you imagined becomes your reality. When you look at the world through this lens, it's remarkable to consider how much has changed in just the last 50 years—and how quickly that pace is accelerating. These new innovations began in someone's mind first. The most recent leap forward is with artificial intelligence, but it follows the same pattern as every major breakthrough before it. Someone first imagined a world where: Amazon would dominate retail while owning almost no physical stores Uber would transform transportation while owning almost no cars Facebook would scale globally while creating no content Airbnb would become a hospitality giant while owning no real estate Netflix would redefine entertainment without being a TV channel Bitcoin would create value without physical coins Each of these began as an idea before evidence—a vision before execution. The same principle applies to our goals, our careers, and our success. Everything we create begins with imagination. When imagination is paired with belief, intention, and action, it becomes a powerful force that shapes not only individual outcomes, but the direction of the world itself.   Closing Thought — Chapter VI Imagination is not fantasy. It is the starting point of all progress. What you are able to imagine clearly today is what you are capable of creating tomorrow. How to Use Imagination for Sales Success Turning Possibility into Certainty 1. Understand the Role of Imagination in Sales Imagination is not fantasy. In sales, imagination is pre-decision certainty. Before a buyer can decide, they must first: see a different future feel themselves in it believe it is attainable Your job as the salesperson is to guide that mental rehearsal. People don't buy products. They buy the future version of themselves (with the certainty that you paint for them). 2. Imagine the Outcome Before the Buyer Does Top sales professionals do not start with features. They start with vision. Before the call, ask yourself: Who does my buyer become after the purchase? What changes in their day-to-day life? What problem is no longer taking up mental space? How you can support and guide them in this process. If you cannot imagine the outcome clearly, your buyer won't either.

Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog, joins The Julia La Roche Show for "The Wrap with Chris Whalen" for his 2026 outlook.In this episode, Whalen warns of a market correction comparable to 2008, driven by carnage in private equity where hundreds of companies cannot be sold and sponsors are selling companies to themselves. After a decade-and-a-half Fed liquidity party, he predicts corporate credit will worsen in 2026, setting the stage for a housing market decline in 2027-28. Whalen reveals fraud has become epidemic in housing thanks to AI-altered bank statements, discusses the global power shift as Shanghai now sets gold prices (not Chicago or London), and explains why Powell will likely stay on the Fed board through 2028 to protect the institution - betraying Trump just like every Fed chair before him.Links:    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/  https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/post/theira794Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/   Timestamps:0:00 Intro and welcome back to The Wrap with Chris Whalen01:25 2025 retrospective3:35 Big stories of 2026 05:30 Midterms 08:21 Maxi market correction coming alongside 2008 in textbooks15:09 Will Powell retire or remain on the board?16:45 Will we see a more hawkish Fed in 2026?17:50 Default rates21:25 What happens with housing in 202622:42 Drawing parallels to the Gilded Age26:29 Gold and silver - another good year ahead32:41 Viewer question: Annaly mortgage REIT common vs preferred36:48 What's on the radar next week: Big investment banks piece38:18 Wrap up and where to find Chris Whalen

COVID pulled supply chains out of the background and into daily life. What used to feel abstract suddenly determined whether shelves were stocked, prices stayed stable, or businesses survived at all. In this conversation, Kerim Kfuri breaks down how global supply chains actually work, why the old “lowest cost at all costs” logic is outdated, and how disruption has reshaped manufacturing, trade, and strategy worldwide.We explore the shift from just-in-time efficiency to just-in-case resilience, challenge the idea that globalization is primarily exploitation, and explain why visibility, redundancy, and optionality now matter more than unit price. We also dive into tariffs, debt, leverage, inflation, and the uncomfortable truth: every attempt to “fix” supply chains shows up in consumers' wallets.This isn't about ideology or slogans. It's about fundamentals—survivability, relevance, and designing systems that can absorb shocks without breaking.TL;DR* Supply chains aren't boring—they're the infrastructure of modern life.* Cost is no longer king; resilience, visibility, and flexibility are.* “Just in time” failed under real stress; “just in case” is the new survival model.* Globalization today is about capability, not exploitation.* Tariffs and inflation are hidden taxes consumers always end up paying.* Long-term business success depends on survivability, not quarterly optics.Memorable lines* “Supply chains used to be invisible—until they broke.”* “Cost is the last variable now, not the first.”* “Relevance is what makes supply chains sexy.”* “You don't notice the wiring in the wall until the power goes out.”GuestKerim Kfuri — President & CEO, Atlas NetworkGlobal supply chain strategist focused on resilience, efficiency, and disruption-ready systems.Why this mattersIf you want businesses—and economies—that last, stop optimizing for perfect conditions and start designing for disruption. Supply chains aren't about speed alone anymore. They're about survival.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

If you were booked out all season but still felt stressed about money, the problem isn't your prices—it's the story you're telling yourself about them.   Most landscapers think raising prices means losing work or that the "market" decides what they can charge. But the market doesn't know your overhead, your payroll, or how exhausted you are by mid-August. In this episode, Scott breaks down why pricing based on your competitors isn't a strategy—it's just a way to avoid taking control of your own profit.   We're diving into the four most dangerous beliefs that keep landscaping businesses "fragile," from the "busy is good" trap to the lie that you can fix your numbers "later." You'll learn how to shift from survival-mode guessing to ownership questions, specifically asking: Does this job actually support the business I'm trying to build?   Stop guessing, stop copying the guy down the street, and start making decisions based on facts instead of feelings. If you want 2026 to be the year you finally get paid what you're worth, it starts with getting clear on your numbers right now while the season is slow.   Welcome to The Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast w/ Scott Molchan, landscaper-turned-coach helping business owners stop spinning their wheels, build smart systems, and finally run a profitable company without burning out. On this podcast, you'll hear how to attract better customers, price your work for profit, and learn the lessons Scott picked up while scaling his own landscaping business.

When METR says something like "Claude Opus 4.5 has a 50% time horizon of 4 hours and 50 minutes", what does that mean? In this episode David Rein, METR researcher and co-author of the paper "Measuring AI ability to complete long tasks", talks about METR's work on measuring time horizons, the methodology behind those numbers, and what work remains to be done in this domain.

Human Relationship with the Ocean begins with a simple but uncomfortable question: how did humanity become so disconnected from the very system that makes life on Earth possible, and why does that disconnection matter right now? This episode explores how the ocean is treated as a distant resource rather than a living, planetary force, and how that mindset shapes policy, economics, and everyday decisions that quietly accelerate ocean decline. Ocean Literacy is more than knowing facts about marine life, it is about understanding how deeply human survival, culture, and identity are tied to the sea. A surprising and emotional insight from this conversation is the idea that many modern ocean problems are not caused by lack of science but by the stories we tell ourselves about separation from nature. When the ocean is framed as "out there" instead of part of us, protection becomes optional rather than essential. Future of the Ocean depends on whether we can rebuild a meaningful relationship with the sea, one rooted in responsibility, humility, and shared fate. This episode challenges listeners to rethink progress, success, and stewardship, and offers a hopeful path forward by changing how we see our place within the ocean system, not above it.

Imposter Syndrome in Leadership: Why Even Experienced Leaders Struggle Imposter syndrome in leadership doesn't disappear with experience. It often shows up when the pressure is highest. Even the most capable leaders can find themselves questioning their confidence under stress. Self-doubt doesn't mean you're incapable. It means you're human—and often, that you're growing. In this episode, Blake sits down with Jenn Donahue, retired U.S. Navy Captain, keynote speaker, and author, to unpack why experienced leaders feel imposter syndrome and how leaders overcome imposter syndrome under pressure. From life-or-death decisions in Afghanistan to navigating misogyny in male-dominated environments, Jenn shares grounded, real-world insight on leading with clarity, confidence, and alignment. Episode Highlights When Imposter Syndrome Hijacks Your Brain [10:56] - Facing an assassination threat in Afghanistan [11:37] - What happens when your brain goes to "Who am I to be in charge?" [14:33] - Why this is the human condition, not a weakness [18:04] - When it shows up at a conference invitation The Cost of Trying to Lead Like Everyone Else [26:49] - Early mistakes in leadership [27:45] - The mentor who helped her find quiet leadership [29:45] - Your unique fingerprint for success [31:27] - The admiral who wished he'd figured it out sooner Navigating Misogyny with Strategy, Not Reaction [34:57] - "Because that's what men do"—handling blatant disrespect [37:50] - Why having allies in the room matters [40:51] - The power of pausing before responding The Warrior Framework [42:47] - Four steps to quiet your inner critic [43:30] - Friend or foe? Identifying the voices in your head [44:50] - Just take the first step—it doesn't have to be perfect Powerful Quotes "You have to be yourself in order to be effective. Trying to be like everyone else doesn't work." -Jenn Donahue "Imposter syndrome doesn't mean you're not ready. It usually means you're growing." -Jenn Donahue "Pain is inevitable. But suffering is a choice. Right before our breakthrough is always surrender." -Blake Schofield "So often in our society, we are trying to remove the challenges that we face.

The rift between Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene reflects Trump's long-standing pattern of transactional loyalty rather than any real ideological dispute. Greene rose to prominence as one of Trump's most aggressive defenders, amplifying his attacks on institutions, critics, and even fellow Republicans, and she was rewarded with praise and proximity when her loyalty was absolute. That changed once she began voicing frustration over how Trump and his allies were handling fallout from the Epstein revelations and the broader demand from the base for transparency. Rather than engaging with the substance of those concerns, Trump reverted to form—treating any deviation as betrayal and signaling, implicitly or explicitly, that Greene was expendable the moment she became inconvenient.Trump's response underscored a core weakness in his leadership style: he demands unwavering fealty while offering none in return. Greene, once celebrated as a MAGA firebrand, quickly found herself subjected to the same scorched-earth tactics Trump has used against countless former allies, revealing that loyalty in Trump's orbit is conditional and revocable at a whim. The episode highlights Trump's instinct to deflect pressure by turning on allies instead of confronting uncomfortable facts, particularly when those facts threaten his personal narrative or his circle of friendsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Retired General Ben Hodges, former Commander of U.S. Army Europe, says the U.S. military activity off Venezuela is repeating one of the most dangerous mistakes of Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan: no clear strategy, no defined end state, and questionable legality. And the consequences, he argues, extend far beyond any single operation, putting U.S. troops, alliances, and global credibility at risk.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You're hustling. You're working hard. You're making sales. But somehow, you're not seeing the profit you expected. Sound familiar? Today we're diving into the hidden money leaks that are quietly draining your business, and most of them have nothing to do with your P&L.I'm breaking down the five major areas where scaling businesses are burning through money: operations, team structure, offers and pricing, marketing and sales, and you. We're talking about manual processes that should be automated, paying for hours you're not using, not knowing if your packages are actually profitable, burning through leads with a 10% close rate, and saying yes to misaligned clients that take 4x longer to serve. I'm sharing why you had to burn through $90,000 in potential revenue to generate $10,000, the $50,000 client that almost slipped away because of no follow-up, and how one team member saved us years of work by finding one platform.This episode will make you uncomfortable, but it will also give you a clear roadmap to plug the leaks keeping you from scaling profitably.00:44 Introduction03:12 Understanding Operational Inefficiencies05:05 Real-Life Example: Saving Costs with Automation07:59 The Importance of Efficient Processes12:45 Defining Roles and Responsibilities with RACI15:36 The Role of Operations in Scaling Your Business21:32 Team Inefficiencies: Common Pitfalls and Solutions34:29 Evaluating Team Contributions35:49 Auditing Offers and Pricing37:54 Client Retention Strategies39:21 The Pitfalls of Overdelivery44:26 Optimizing Marketing and Sales53:38 The Cost of Misaligned ClientsTo join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

Hey friend, As we step into January, I'm intentionally revisiting some of the most listened-to and most impactful conversations from the very beginning of Functional Medicine for Christian Women until now. This episode is one of them. If you've ever cut out foods, followed the “right” plan, stayed disciplined, and still felt stuck—or even worse than before—this conversation will feel very familiar. In this episode, I sat down with two women I deeply respect to talk honestly about why so many Christian women feel like they're doing everything “right” with their health and still not seeing lasting results. You'll hear from: Shaela Daugherty, host of the Simple Fitness Habits podcast Brittany Braswell, host of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast Together, we talk candidly about what's really happening beneath the surface when health efforts stop working. In this episode, we cover: Why fad diets like keto, “no carbs,” or extreme clean eating can backfire on hormones, metabolism, and stress levels How chronic dieting can push the body into a survival state, raise cortisol, and make weight loss harder over time Why “I just need to be more disciplined” is not the real problem How diet culture fuels comparison, obsession, and shame instead of freedom in Christ The difference between quick-fix results and long-term, sustainable health What it actually looks like to surrender your health to the Lord and begin rebuilding trust with your body This was not a scripted or polished conversation. We hit record on a real, honest discussion—sharing stories from our own lives, from women we've walked alongside, and from what we see over and over again in Christian women who are exhausted from trying harder instead of being supported better. And if you need a little levity in the middle of a heavy topic, make sure you stay until the end. Shaela and I give Brittany a challenge that had all of us laughing—and it paints a pretty accurate picture of just how exhausting diet culture can be. As part of this January Reset, I encourage you to listen with fresh ears. Not to figure out what you should do next—but to notice what resonates, what brings relief, and what might be inviting you to slow down and support your body differently. Before you go…

If you've ever felt your heart race over a three-footer or a make-or-break sales call, imagine doing that with a camera pointed at your face and thousands of people listening… That's the world broadcaster and national champion golfer Emilia Doran lives in every week. In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, Emilia pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to stay composed on live TV, how she manages nerves under pressure, and why the same routines, reps, and reflections that make her great on-air are the same ingredients you need to perform on the golf course and in business. She shares how she redefined success after stepping away from professional golf, the emotional cost of perfectionism, and what it's like to build a powerful personal brand as a woman in a male-dominated sport—all while keeping joy, gratitude, and perspective at the center. In this episode, you'll learn: How Emilia handles nerves and stays authentic during live broadcasts The mindset shift that helped her stop chasing perfection and start playing freer Practical ways to simulate "18th-hole pressure" in your practice and prep How routines, reps, and reflection translate from broadcasting to better golf What Emilia's identity shift from pro-track golfer to broadcaster taught her about fulfillment How she defines a "successful" broadcast (and why saying less is often more) What it really takes to stand out as a woman in golf and claim your space with confidence Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.P.S.

Nerves don't disappear; they become more manageable when you simplify the goal—like aiming to say just one truly insightful thing each broadcast. Preparation is routine, reps, and rehearsal: organize your info, rehearse key lines, and build a repeatable process you can trust when the heat turns up. Reflection isn't just about what went wrong—intentionally review what you did well so you don't let one flub define the entire performance. Perfectionism feels like a superpower early on, but if you don't manage your expectations, it becomes emotional kryptonite that drains joy and confidence. Watching the best players closely teaches that even world-class golfers hit plenty of mediocre shots—and handle them with neutrality and grace. In both golf and broadcasting, success is often saying less with more impact and knowing when silence, presence, and emotion are more powerful than words. Key Quotes: "If I can just say one insightful thing to the audience, that's a win." "You might spend five hours on notes and only use ten percent of them—and that's okay." "Broadcasting is a job of imperfection; it's how you handle yourself when things go slightly awry that matters." "I had to accept that golf isn't my number one priority anymore—and still let that be okay." "The more I worked in golf, the more I realized I didn't want to feel emotionally exhausted all the time." "Watch a full round of one player and you'll see how many imperfect shots even the best in the world hit." "You might get an opportunity because of a box someone wants to check, but you stay because you do great work."

Most people don't fail. They don't crash and burn. They just stay the same without ever fully realizing it.   In this end-of-year solo episode, I'm unpacking something most people don't want to look at: the hidden cost of staying exactly where you are, and why so many of us think we're changing while unconsciously playing it safe.   We talk about the difference between performing change and embodying it, why setting goals alone doesn't actually transform your life, and how loyalty to a familiar identity can quietly keep you stuck for years.   If you've been telling yourself: "I'll change when things slow down," "I just need to feel ready," or "It's not that bad,"   this episode is your invitation to pause and get radically honest. Because staying the same isn't neutral. It's already costing you: in energy, self-trust, and time. And the only real question is whether you're willing to stop confusing intention with transformation.   This Episode Is For You If: You set goals every year but feel like nothing really shifts You're "doing the work" but still playing small or safe You're high-functioning, successful on paper, but internally restless You're ready to stop negotiating with yourself and raise your standards   Fitness, health, and holistic wellness for $22/month Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?
