We live in a culture that wants everything to be easy, convenient, and inexpensive. We want: Fast food, Fast internet, Fast results, and Convenient Christianity. Many people approach worship the same way. We want worship that fits our schedule. Worship that doesn't interrupt our plans. Worship that doesn't require sacrifice. Worship that costs us nothing. But throughout Scripture, worship has always involved sacrifice. When Abraham worshiped, it cost him a journey and his son. When the widow worshiped, it cost her last two mites. When Mary worshiped Jesus, it cost her an alabaster jar worth a year's wages. When Jesus worshiped the Father through obedience, it cost Him His life. And here in 2 Samuel 24, David teaches us a powerful truth: Worship that costs nothing is worth nothing.

Most practice owners assume that if they want to grow, they need more leads. More referrals. More website traffic. More ads. More people calling the clinic. Sometimes that's true.  But after coaching more than 1,000 Cash-Based practice owners over the years, I've found that most practices actually have a much bigger and more costly problem with conversion and retention, than they do with lead generation. This episode is a perfect example of that distinction, and how fixing customer retention can unveil that you can keep a wonderfully full schedule of cash-pay patients with your current lead flow..  One of my Mastermind and Forum members recently shared a huge win. Her pelvic health therapist was averaging just 3.7 visits per plan of care. Patients were dropping off long before they received the full benefit of care, and the clinic was constantly forced to replace those patients with new ones.  After implementing a few key changes, that number increased to more than 10 visits per evaluation, creating a dramatic improvement in patient outcomes, schedule utilization, revenue, and profit per patient. And before you leave the episode page, make sure you scroll down for this episode's free resource. The Motivator Index has become one of the most valuable leadership tools I've ever used for hiring, managing, and motivating team members, and it plays an important role in the story you'll hear today.

What You'll Learn in This Episode Why many practices have a retention problem disguised as a lead generation problem How to identify therapists with unusually short plans of care The connection between patient buy-in and visit frequency Why clinician expectations need to be clearly defined How to use the Motivator Index to improve staff performance and patient retention The role KPIs play in driving clinician accountability How to coach underperforming employees before considering termination USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Automated Top Talent Attraction and Hiring System

Many property owners never expect to deal with squatters or deed fraud. However, when these situations occur, they can result in costly legal disputes, damaged property and significant financial losses.  George McCleary, president of McCleary Realty & Development, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss how squatters exploit vacant properties, why deed fraud is becoming a growing concern and what property owners can do to protect their investments.   How a Viral Video Sparked a National Conversation  McCleary first gained widespread attention through his viral social media video, “I Stole a House,” which highlighted how people can exploit legal gray areas to occupy vacant properties.  While the video was intended as satire, it resonated with property owners across the country and generated millions of views. It also prompted countless conversations about a problem many people assume could never happen to them.  “It's rare enough. It's sort of like rare, like a heart attack,” said McCleary. “It's probably not going to happen to you today, but if it does, you have to take it very seriously.”  Why Squatters Can Be Difficult to Remove  Many people assume law enforcement can immediately remove someone who unlawfully occupies a property. In reality, squatters often take deliberate steps to make themselves appear to be legitimate tenants. Experienced squatters frequently move belongings into a home, establish residency and present forged lease agreements when confronted. These tactics can create uncertainty for law enforcement officers responding to the scene.  “These professional squatters, they are experts at blurring these lines,” he said.  Once questions arise about tenancy, property owners may be forced into lengthy legal proceedings. The process can involve attorney fees, court costs and months of lost rental income before a property is recovered. Even after regaining possession, owners may face additional expenses to repair damage and replace stolen appliances, fixtures or building materials.  Why Deed Fraud May Be an Even Bigger Threat  Following the success of his viral video, McCleary began hearing from property owners across the country who had experienced another type of real estate crime: deed fraud.  In these cases, criminals forge ownership documents and file them with local governments, creating the appearance that a property has changed hands. Once the fraudulent deed is recorded, scammers may attempt to sell the property or borrow against its equity. What makes deed fraud particularly dangerous is that owners often do not discover the issue until significant financial damage has already occurred.  “You can't prevent somebody from falsifying a deed and filing it with the county,” he said. “The thing that you can prevent is the theft of your equity.”  The faster fraudulent activity is detected, the easier it becomes to stop a sale, prevent unauthorized loans and begin restoring ownership records.  Who Is Most Vulnerable?  While any property owner can become a victim, investors, aging homeowners and owners of vacant properties are among the most common targets.  Investors often own multiple properties and rely on managers to oversee day-to-day operations, making it easier for fraudulent activity to go unnoticed. Older homeowners frequently have substantial equity, which can make them attractive targets for scammers. Builders, agents and sellers should also pay close attention to vacant homes. Unoccupied properties can provide opportunities for squatters to establish residency before anyone realizes a problem exists.  Prevention Starts With Early Detection  While no solution can eliminate risk, property owners can significantly reduce their exposure through proactive monitoring. For vacant properties, McCleary recommends installing alarm systems that provide immediate notifications when someone enters a home unexpectedly. Quick action can often prevent a squatter from establishing residency and turning a trespassing incident into a legal dispute.  Routine property inspections, title monitoring services and regular oversight can also help property owners identify potential problems before they become costly legal battles.  The Financial Stakes Are Higher Than Many Realize  Both squatting and deed fraud can carry substantial financial consequences. Property owners may face lost rental income, legal expenses, property damage and, in some cases, the loss of significant home equity.  “The financial stakes of each of these squatting or title fraud cases eclipses the six-figure mark over $100,000 regularly,” he said.  As awareness of these issues grows, some states have begun strengthening laws related to squatting and property fraud. However, prevention, monitoring and education remain the most effective tools available to property owners.  About McCleary Realty & Development  McCleary Realty & Development is a Portland-based real estate investment, development and brokerage firm led by President George McCleary. In addition to helping clients navigate real estate investments and development opportunities, the company provides educational resources and monitoring solutions focused on preventing squatting, deed fraud and fraudulent liens. Through programs such as Squatter Defender and Title Fraud Defender, McCleary helps homeowners, investors and real estate professionals protect their properties and preserve their equity.

What if the reason your business feels harder than it should isn't because you need more clients, more marketing, or more discipline, but because you are operating far below your natural altitude?   Many highly capable women founders have built businesses that look successful on paper, yet still feel exhausting to run. The question is: are you tolerating a market position that is two or three levels below where you, your team, and your expertise actually belong?   In this episode, Eleanor explores the costly gap between authority and market position. She explains why so many women with what she calls 7-figure authority continue to operate in mid-market positions that suppress pricing, strain profitability, and attract buyers who cannot fully absorb the value they provide. She also shares the framework she uses to help founders reposition their companies, close the gap between authority and market perception, and build businesses that create greater wealth, leverage, and enterprise value.   Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/XqSXxj-RhGI Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO103 Follow Eleanor on LinkedIn and Instagram here:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/

In this episode of Dollars & Sense, Kristin Kalley and Christina Lamb tackle two important financial topics that can have a big impact on your family's future. First, they break down which accounts parents should prioritize when they have a baby, including 529 plans, custodial accounts, and newer savings opportunities that could help build long-term, tax-advantaged wealth for children. Then, they shift gears and unpack some of the most commonly misunderstood federal income tax rules—covering tax brackets, write-offs, refunds, Roth conversions, capital gains, and more.If you've ever wondered how to start saving for your child, or if you've heard tax advice that sounded a little too simple to be true, this episode will help you think more strategically and avoid costly mistakes.

Chuck Todd opens with the latest from the Iran war's increasingly costly stalemate, arguing Trump doesn't actually want a deal — he wants the ability to declare an accomplishment without ever looking like he capitulated, the same trick he ran with NAFTA and the JCPOA where he ripped up agreements only to sign nearly identical ones under new names. June, Chuck warns, is when the energy shock will start showing up in domestic prices, every day Hormuz stays closed exponentially increases the damage, consumers may begin behaving irrationally and hoarding, and a single bad natural disaster on top of all this could trigger a genuine crisis. But the heart of the episode is Chuck’s meditation on a single phrase: character is destiny in politics. It's not whether character flaws exist — everyone has them — but when those flaws become public and start affecting the people you were elected to serve. Trump's character problems were on display long before he ever became president, but his defenders now include the exact same Rubios and Grahams who used to blast him as morally unfit. And the most uncomfortable part of Chuck argument for the Democratic base: the same progressives who mocked Trump supporters for excusing his behavior are now using essentially identical defenses for Maine's Graham Platner — who has been accused of sexting in 2023, behavior that isn't youthful indiscretion and isn't going away. Chuck argues political parties used to function as imperfect but real vetting organizations, that once voters become emotionally invested in a candidate they will defend literally anything, that running for office sometimes becomes a substitute for therapy rather than a vehicle for service, and that democracy itself depends on elected officials being able to separate their personal motivations from their public obligations — something Biden failed at when his family obligations led to those preemptive pardons. He notes the Bidens were genuinely beloved before the election but Biden's ambition did real harm to his party, his family, and his own legacy. Todd points to Pope Leo as a potential moral leader Americans seem desperate for at exactly the moment when neither party seems remotely interested in finding the best possible actors. He observes that Platner vs. Collins is starting to feel like a rerun of Trump vs. Clinton in 2016 — two candidates voters genuinely don't want to choose between — and closes with quick hits on Jill Biden's forthcoming memoir, the California gubernatorial primary (where Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer could finish in the top two), and the increasingly strange Los Angeles mayoral race in which Karen Bass appears to be deliberately ignoring Spencer Pratt because she would much rather face him in a general election than the genuinely formidable Nithya Raman. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit two stories that occurred on the same day… the Tiananmen square massacre, and Poland’s first post-soviet elections.

Amazon just removed one of the biggest barriers to international publishing, and authors are going to be tempted to move fast. With Amazon quietly rolling out an AI-powered translation tool inside KDP, turning your book into Spanish, German, and other languages suddenly feels almost effortless. But easy and effective are not the same thing.In this episode, Penny Sansevieri and Amy Cornell unpack what Amazon's new AI translation feature actually means for authors and why this could become one of those publishing moments where convenience creates a wave of expensive mistakes. Because when translation becomes a checkbox instead of a strategy, it becomes dangerously easy to expand into markets you do not understand.We get into the risks many authors will not see coming: AI missing emotional nuance, humor that collapses in translation, phrases that work beautifully in one culture and feel awkward—or completely wrong—in another. We also discuss a bigger misconception: assuming a language automatically equals a market. “Spanish readers” are not one audience. Readers in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and the U.S. often buy differently, respond to different pricing, and even prefer different styles and tones.We also look at what happens inside the Amazon ecosystem itself. How translated editions may appear on your Author Central profile, why ratings and reviews can become fragmented across marketplaces, how weak social proof in a new market can affect perception, and why a poorly translated book description may quietly destroy conversion before a reader even downloads a sample.And because we never leave authors with fear and no roadmap, we walk through a smarter testing strategy: how to validate demand before translating, identify genres that travel well internationally, choose the right title to test first, and support launches with country-specific Amazon ads and market research.Global expansion sounds exciting. But before you hand your backlist over to AI and click publish, listen first.This episode could save you time, money, and a lot of one-star reviews.Send us your feedback!Help shape our 2026 content by taking our 30-second listener poll!

Vancouver and Toronto are getting ready to host FIFA World Cup matches in June and July, and the demands FIFA makes tend to be costly. Requirements from FIFA go from stadium renovations to branding enforcement, transportation and even tax exemptions. All three levels of government have already spent hundreds of millions of dollars in preparation.     Contracts between FIFA and host cities aren't usually public, but Greg Mercer, The Globe's investigative reporter, managed to get access to them. He's on the show to explain what he learned and how FIFA manages to make all these expensive and exorbitant demands on host cities.  Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Most contractors walk past air curtains every day without realizing how much money they can save commercial buildings. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch sit down with Curtis Rosol from Mars Air Systems to break down how air curtains work and why they've become a powerful solution for energy savings, indoor air quality, and insect control in commercial spaces. From convenience stores and restaurants to cold storage facilities and warehouses, Curtis explains how air curtains create an invisible barrier that keeps conditioned air inside while preventing heat, humidity, dust, smoke, and flying insects from entering the building. They also discuss: How air curtains reduce HVAC energy loss Why electrification will make energy savings even more valuable How air curtains help solve cold storage and freezer issues The difference between strip curtains and air curtains Why insects and contaminants enter buildings through open doors How air curtains improve indoor air quality The ROI contractors can present to commercial customers Why these systems are becoming more important in high-traffic buildings Simple installation opportunities for HVAC contractors Residential applications for luxury outdoor living spaces If you work in light commercial HVAC or want to offer energy-saving upgrades to your customers, this episode is packed with practical opportunities.

Dead trademarks create one of the most misunderstood areas of business law — and in this episode/article, we unpack why reviving an abandoned brand name can either become a brilliant strategic move or a costly legal disaster.Many entrepreneurs believe that once a trademark registration expires, the name instantly becomes available for anyone to use. Unfortunately, trademark law is nowhere near that simple. Businesses may still retain common law rights, consumer recognition, and ongoing commercial protections long after a federal registration becomes inactive.That means companies trying to revive dead trademarks can accidentally walk straight into lawsuits, cease-and-desist letters, forced rebrands, and expensive intellectual property disputes.In this discussion, we break down:What legally qualifies as a dead trademarkHow trademarks become abandonedWhen the USPTO may allow trademark revivalWhy common law trademark rights still matterThe biggest mistakes businesses make during branding searchesHow nostalgic brands are strategically revivedThe hidden risks of resurrecting old company namesWhy due diligence is essential before launching a revived brandWe also explore how nostalgia marketing has fueled renewed interest in abandoned trademarks. Across fashion, entertainment, gaming, food products, and technology, businesses increasingly search for forgotten brands that still hold consumer recognition.The logic is understandable.Building a recognizable brand from scratch is difficult and expensive. Reviving a familiar name may create instant emotional connection and marketplace attention.But nostalgia branding comes with risks.Some abandoned trademarks carry lingering legal claims. Others maintain regional usage that can still create enforceable rights. Some simply come with outdated reputations or historical baggage that modern consumers may rediscover quickly online.And then there's the issue of consumer confusion — one of the core concerns trademark law is designed to prevent.If customers mistakenly believe your revived company is affiliated with the original business, courts may become very interested in your branding strategy very quickly.This episode/article also explains why trademark law differs from many other forms of intellectual property. Trademark rights often depend heavily on actual marketplace use rather than registration alone. That creates complicated situations where “dead” registrations may still carry active legal consequences.For startups, entrepreneurs, marketers, and business owners, understanding these distinctions can prevent massive financial headaches later.Because discovering trademark problems after investing in websites, packaging, advertising, and product launches is significantly more painful than spending time on proper legal research upfront.Whether you're considering reviving an old trademark, evaluating a rebranding opportunity, or simply trying to avoid avoidable business mistakes, this conversation provides practical insights into one of the stranger corners of intellectual property law.It turns out that in business, some brands never fully die.They just wait for someone brave enough to dig them back up.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

In this message, "Costly Boldness", believers are called to a costly, Spirit-empowered boldness that refuses to go silent about Jesus, even when obedience draws fire. Tracing Peter and John's arrest, trial, and Spirit-filled response, we see that opposition isn't a sign God has left; it's often evidence that He is powerfully at work. Pastor Matthew presses into how the early church prayed for boldness instead of safety and how God shook the place and filled them afresh for mission. The text also shows how genuine boldness overflows into radical unity and generosity, as believers open their hands and hearts to meet needs in Jesus' name.

Today, Ben welcomes Aiden Murillo of Wolfpack Wealth Management for a timely, post–tax season conversation on what actually defines a good tax professional—and why many people may be settling for less than they realize. Drawing from real client experiences, the two unpack the difference between transactional tax preparation and relationship-driven advisory work, highlighting how missed details, lack of communication, and blind trust can lead to costly errors or lost opportunities. Aidan shares examples ranging from mishandled cryptocurrency losses to “ghost preparers” who don't sign returns, while Ben emphasizes how incomplete information, misunderstood tax documents, or even incorrect W-2 reporting can create downstream issues. Together, they stress that taxpayers ultimately bear responsibility for what they sign, making it essential to work with someone who not only prepares returns accurately, but explains positions, asks deeper questions, and understands the full financial picture. They also challenge common misconceptions—like judging a preparer based on refund size—and instead encourage listeners to prioritize transparency, education, and ongoing relationships. Ultimately, this conversation reframes tax preparation from a box-checking exercise into a critical component of long-term financial stewardship, where the right advisor can help clients avoid mistakes, reduce stress, and make more informed decisions year after year.Key Takeaways:• Tax season is high-pressure, deadline-driven work for professionals. Many taxpayers treat filing as a simple “check-the-box” task.• “Ghost preparers” who don't sign returns are a major red flag.• Payroll or W-2 errors can create unexpected tax liabilities.• Refund size is not a valid measure of tax preparation quality.• As financial complexity increases, advisory-level service becomes more important.• The best tax outcomes come from transparency, education, and ongoing collaboration.Key Timestamps:(00:00) – Post Tax Season Reset(04:57) – Fast Returns Red Flags(07:35) – Crypto Loss Missed(11:52) – Why Relationships Matter(19:26) – Taxpayer Responsibility(24:55) – Ghost Preparer Red Flags(28:40) – Backdoor Roth Mistakes(36:08) – When Tax Forms Are Wrong(38:48) – Payroll Exempt Withholding Mistake(43:15) – Refunds Don't Measure Quality(45:04) – How to Contact AidenKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Wolfpack Wealth Management: https://www.wolfpackwealth.net/ Wolfpack Tax and Accounting: https://www.wolfpacktaxaccounting.net/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leydermurillo/  More of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

Telling people not to listen drove three times more podcast listeners than telling them why they should. That's behavioral science at work, and most marketers are barely scratching the surface of it.This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob are joined by Phill Agnew, host of "Nudge," the UK's number one marketing podcast. Phill breaks down the hidden psychology that shapes how consumers think and buy, from why visible effort makes your brand more valuable to how scarcity can be applied in ways that go far beyond a "limited time offer." You'll walk away with principles you can apply immediately... and a few that might change how you think about advertising altogether.Topics covered:•    [03:00] The labor illusion: why showing your work increases perceived value•    [05:00] What System 1 vs. System 2 thinking means for marketers•    [12:00] Costly signaling and why TV advertising commands trust•    [17:00] The mere exposure effect•    [24:00] Distinctiveness vs. differentiation and how to stand out•    [33:00] Scarcity done right: the KFC Australia example.•    [40:00] The Pratfall Effect and why admitting weakness builds brand likability.To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.Resources:Buell, R.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Professor Bruce Watson, of UKZN and Waterloo (in Canada), AI Research Founder & Global Advisor, about the government’s decision to appoint an independent panel to redraft South Africa’s AI framework after it was withdrawn due to AI‑generated “hallucinated” references, and what this means for regulation, credibility, and the future of AI governance. In other interviews, Wandile Sihlobo, Agricultural economist talks about South Africa’s agricultural exports jumping 11% in the first quarter of 2026, unpacking how strong global demand and higher commodity prices drove the growth, even as persistent port bottlenecks, particularly at Cape Town, forced costly diversions to other ports and squeezed farmers’ margins.

'It's not about when there will be a recession or a downturn; it's how we respond, react, and behave when it does happen' – Mark MacSymon, Private Client Holdings.

The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped a frustrating 6-2 game in Toronto, and this one felt like a missed opportunity. Bubba Chandler delivered the most encouraging start of his young MLB career, striking out 11 Blue Jays over five innings while flashing the swing-and-miss stuff that makes him such an important piece of the Pirates' future. But the defense and bullpen gave the Pirates almost no margin for error. Costly mistakes extended innings, Dennis Santana struggled again, and the bullpen continued to raise real concerns about whether this group can hold up as the season moves toward June and July. DiNardo and Neil break down Chandler's outing, the Pirates' sloppy defense, Don Kelly's bullpen options, why this loss felt so preventable, and how many winnable games Pittsburgh can afford to give away.

The history of Christianity in Korea is a dramatic account, both beautiful and tragic. The experience of Korea's early Christian converts offer many insights for believers today around the world.James Cha, of the Crescent Project and I43 ministries, joined Andy on this encore episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast. Listen as he shares nearly forgotten tales of incredible faith and sacrifice.  But he also explores how compromise wormed its way into the Korean Church, particularly during the Japanese occupation before World War II.  The consequences of compromise proved devastating. But even in the darkest of days, we see that redemption is possible.In the world today, many Christians can relate to this tale of two Koreas. They feel the pressure building around them, and also the temptation to compromise and become politically correct. This episode provides timely context for believers to prayerfully process.  May this history of Korean Christianity help the Global Church today stand. If this information is helpful to you, please give us a 5-star rating and a positive review. Likewise, share this episode with friends and fellow believers who could use some help standing up under mounting pressures.To learn more about resources mentioned in this episode, see the following.Crescent Project: https://www.crescentproject.org/(Book) Fear Not: Living a Life of No Regrets, by James Cha – available at https://www.amazon.com/Fear-Not-Living-Life-Regrets/dp/B08NWWY8SG.(Book) The Korean Pentecost and the Sufferings Which Followed, by William N.

Watch the Best Scene of THE MEMORY TAX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDLcReloL8k A 14-year-old girl with an experimental neural implant can access the entirety of human knowledge with her mind, but every ‘download' costs her a piece of her past. While hiding in plain sight from the shadowy corporation that created her, she must decide how much of herself she is willing to forget to save the people she loves. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? I would clarify that The Memory Tax is actually written as a one-hour television pilot, although I believe the concept is cinematic enough to work in a visual medium. It should be produced because it has a strong, immediately understandable science-fiction hook with deep emotional consequences. The central idea involves a teenage girl who can access unlimited knowledge but loses her memories every time she does is both high-concept and character-driven. The story also speaks to modern anxieties about technology, identity, artificial intelligence, medical ethics, corporate ownership, and the cost of constant access to information. But instead of telling that story through machines or institutions alone, it filters everything through a vulnerable teenage girl who simply wants to live a normal life. That gives the project both genre appeal and emotional accessibility. How would you describe this script in two words? Costly knowledge. What movie have you seen the most times in your life? E.T. is one of the films I've returned to the most. I've always admired how it takes a science-fiction premise and grounds it in childhood, loneliness, friendship, and family. That is something I tried to bring into The Memory Tax. The genre concept matters, but the emotional experience of the child at the center matters even more. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
