In this relaunch of the PBM Reform Podcast, Greg Reybold returns with a powerful and timely conversation exploring how concentrated economic power—particularly in the form of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)—is undermining fair access to prescription medications, driving up drug costs, and crushing independent pharmacies. Greg is joined by Emma Freer, Senior Policy Analyst with the American Economic Liberties Project, a national non-profit and non-partisan organization dedicated to dismantling monopolistic control across critical sectors—including healthcare. Together, they dig deep into how PBMs serve as gatekeepers in the drug supply chain, extracting value at the expense of patients and providers, and how policy reform is urgently needed. Emma outlines how Economic Liberties is driving a new wave of anti-monopoly policy momentum in healthcare by advocating for stronger antitrust enforcement, corporate accountability, and legislative transparency. She highlights how concentrated PBM power not only threatens economic fairness but undermines public health outcomes.

Richard Sorge is one of history's most famous spies. This hard-drinking, womanising, motorcycle-crashing Soviet officer penetrated the German embassy in Tokyo during the 1930s and gathered intelligence credited with changing the course of the Second World War. It is an intriguing tale; but Sorge's spy ring was just one chapter in a much longer history of Russian and Soviet espionage in and against Japan. Cracking the Crab: Russian Espionage Against Japan, from Peter the Great to Richard Sorge (Hurst, 2025) by Dr. James D Brown tells the extraordinary full story of Russian intrigue targeting Japan, from first encounters in the eighteenth century to the Soviet declaration of war in August 1945. Colourful episodes include Gojong, King of Korea, being smuggled into the Russian legation dressed as a woman in 1896; the 1927 ‘Tanaka Memorial', an infamous forgery purporting to be Japan's hidden plan for world domination; and the secret intelligence of ‘Nero', a Soviet agent supplying invaluable insight into Japanese strategy during the Second World War. From Russians murdered in broad daylight in Meiji Tokyo to Soviet honey traps and ‘white magic' at the Battle of Nomonhan, this is a landmark history of the covert struggle between two great powers of the modern age. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Are you struggling to create the perfect offer for corporate clients before you even start selling? In today's episode I'm sharing the 5 important things to remember when creating an offer to sell to corporate clients so that you don't waste your time perfecting your offers, creating fancy sales pages, or posting endlessly on social media.  The real key to landing corporate deals is focusing on lead generation and your sales call skills. Corporates buy transformation—not the prettiest PDF or the catchiest program name. Take action, have real conversations, and tailor your solutions to what companies actually want.  Here's some of the things that really matter: Start your sales process FIRST—talk to real corporate decision makers, find out what they actually need, and build your offer with them. Corporates aren't scrolling for your offer on social media. Forget endless posts and sales pages. Focus on real conversations! And no, you don't need to stress about being a limited company or having bonuses—what matters is the transformation you deliver. Ready to stop overthinking and start selling to corporates the smart way? Tune in today - and if you want more tips like these,sign up to my free newsletter at www.sellingtocorporate.com   Key Quotes; Cracking the Corporate Offer Code: "So when we're talking about offers today, we are talking specifically about the solution that you are going to provide to corporate clients that is paid for." 00:06:4300:06:56 The Biggest Roadblock to Selling to Corporates "I have heard people say to me, Jess, I want to sell to corporate companies, but I don't have an offer yet. So I need to wait and figure out what my offer is gonna be before I can start my sales process." 00:04:3600:04:51 The Importance of Targeted Lead Generation in B2B Sales: "But what happens if we don't start a sales process, meaning if we don't target a particular industry, meaning if we don't do appropriate lead generation to generate qualified leads who actually are interested in our area of specialism and who hold the budget to pay us." 00:13:5200:14:14 Why Your Offer Isn't Selling "If you haven't gotten all of the results that you wanted in the first half of this year, it's really important to understand why. And if that is, you've been spending lots and lots of time on creating offers and then feeling like it's really hard to sell them and you don't have anyone to sell them to, this is your problem." 00:38:0900:38:27 The Real Reason Your Offer Wasn't accepted "A lot of the time, in fact, in over 90% of occasions, price isn't the reason that companies didn't go with your offer. A lot of the time, it is about the diagnostic skill you have on the sales call and whether you presented the solution that met the need and got the buyer required to actually go ahead with it." 00:40:3700:40:38   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Join the waitlist for the Converting Corporates Event 2026! https://smartleaderssell.vipmembervault.com/cc2026waitlist Sign up to the Cold Email Outreach Conversion Course  https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/cold-email-outreach-conversion-course/   If you want to track your sales and set targets, check out my sales tracking spreadsheet  https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/sales-tracker-spreadsheet/   Watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process! https://www.loom.com/share/a2de63c2c7354a7a86335b79ef94497e?sid=60cdc100-9f2b-49b5-a5db-aee7de17596d   If you're looking to get the best support in selling your services to corporate organisations, not to mention email templates and proposal outlines so that you really can convert at much higher rates and sell your services more successfully then Join The C Suite ® now. https://sellingtocorporate.com/the-c-suite-self-study/   Take the Selling to Corporate ® offer quiz and find out what the best offer is that you could sell to corporate.  https://app.quizitri.com/render/9987a008-7a0c-452e-ba02-06f10318d66c   Sign up for the webinar on Five Simple Steps to Landing Corporate Clients. https://sellingtocorporate.com/webinar-registration/   Top 5 Business Development Questions: If you're looking to convert more business development calls into sales?

Edward Dowd says the 2025 recession is already unfolding, and investors are completely misreading the signals. In this hard-hitting interview, the former BlackRock managing director and founder of Phinance Technologies explains why the U.S. economy is far weaker than the headlines suggest. Housing is cracking, AI spending has peaked, and the true impact of mass immigration is just now being understood. Dowd argues inflation will plunge below 2% by Q4, deflation is the real risk, and U.S. Treasury bonds are the best asset to own right now. He also explains why the Fed and asset managers were misled by faulty data, and why the housing downturn will lead, not lag, the recession. Key Topics: Why the housing market is the “white swan” collapse no one's ready for How 20M migrants artificially boosted U.S. economic numbers Why inflation is set to fall hard—and what most investors get wrong His contrarian call on the bond market and how to position for it Gold's new role in the monetary system (and a potential $10K target) The AI boom is over, so what happens next to equities and jobs Why crypto remains a risk asset… for now Chapters: 0:45 - Inflation & Gas Prices: How Bad Is It? 2:17 - Why Dowd Sees a Deep Recession Ahead 6:30 - Are Cracks Forming in Housing? 10:17 - What Will Trigger Higher Unemployment? 13:10 - Retail Giant Collapse—A Sign of Trouble? 14:07 - Will the “Big Beautiful Bill” Backfire? 16:19 - Exploding Deficits: Is Austerity Unavoidable? 18:33 - Could Bond Yields Shoot to 6 Percent? 24:47 - Is the U.S. Dollar on the Brink? 27:46 - Recession by Q4 2025: How Likely? 29:03 - How Severe Could the Downturn Get? 30:12 - Global Fallout: Can the World Withstand a U.S. Recession? 32:14 - S&P's Surge: Dead-Cat Bounce or New Bull? 35:16 - Commercial Real Estate: Next Shoe to Drop? 36:51 - Gold vs Bitcoin: Where's the Smart Money Going?

You're scaling fast- 40% headcount growth year over year, systems flying in from every direction.But inside?Sales is misfiring.Product is bogged down.Marketing is out ahead of a culture that hasn't caught up.That's not just a growing pain.That's what happens when you scale without someone architecting the experience of execution.In this episode, I introduce the Chief Performance Culture Officer—a C-suite role built for companies in the messy middle of scale.Not HR. Not enablement.This is the person who owns the connective tissue between trust, clarity, and commercial performance—across Sales, Product, and Marketing.If you're feeling the drag of headcount outpacing alignment, this is the blueprint to scale without losing your core.

Do happy couples have more sex or does having more sex make couples happy? This episode begins with some surprising insight into that question. https://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2015/may/more-sex-does-not-lead-to-happiness.html There is something about board games. Chess, checkers, backgammon, Monopoly, Parcheesi – we like to play board games. What's fascinating is people all over the world love board games and have for centuries. Why is there this universal appeal? What do these games do for us? Here to offer up the answers and explanations is Tim Clare, an award winning writer and author of the book Across the Board: How Games Make Us Human (https://amzn.to/4kmAZvo). Everyone knows exercise is important. Still, a lot of people shy away from it. What is it that turns some people off while other people truly enjoy it? Is there a way to motivate people to exercise more beyond just telling them, “Exercise is good for you”? Can people who hate exercise learn to love it? How much exercise is enough to make a difference? Here to explore all of this is Katy Bowman who is the author of 11 books and a frequent speaker on the topic of movement and exercise. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, and Good Housekeeping and she has been on The Joe Rogan Experience, The Today Show and now she is here. Her latest book is I Know I Should Exercise, But...: 44 Reasons We Don't Move and How to Get Over Them (https://amzn.to/4dmWdHs). Do you have a calling? A passion?
