Rob sits down with longtime coach and mentor Dean Jaderston to unpack the transitions that shaped his career—from Minnesota high schools to college men's hoops, and eventually to leading women at Friends University. Dean lays out a clear contrast between coaching men and women, why the collective psyche matters on women's teams, how to move from managing to leading, and what it takes to stay steady in a public, always-on era. Faith, patience, and the willingness to play the long game thread through the whole conversation.Key ThemesTransitions that grow you: High school → college; men → women; what Dean “didn't know he didn't know” about recruiting and preparation.Coachability & confidence: With men, puncturing overconfidence; with women, raising ceilings and naming their potential.The collective effect: Public praise/critique lands differently on women's teams—use “we/us” language and handle most individual feedback 1:1.Lead, don't just manage: Dean's “one big rule”—you either bless people or curse people; hold to that and cut the bloated rulebook.Faith as framework: Total-release effort as worship; coach the whole person—spiritually, emotionally, psychologically.Reality of the job: Life and coaching are messy; don't overreact, don't take it personally, watch actions over words, and keep vision front and center.Listening builds buy-in: Seek first to understand; today's athletes spot inauthenticity fast.Vision sustains: The Hartman Arena story—nobody believed it early; vision made the work coherent.Notable Moments00:15 – Why Rob almost changed jobs just to learn from Dean01:36 – High school → college: “I didn't know what I didn't know” (recruiting, prep)06:00 – When talent stalls: the cost of being uncoachable06:33 – Men vs. women: confidence gaps and ceilings08:52 – Language shift: use “we/us”; keep praise/critique mostly individual10:49 – Why schemes/X&O often matter more in the women's game11:58 – Teaching bug: chasing light-bulb moments and durable confidence14:35 – Faith, “audience of One,” and coaching the whole person20:17 – Coaching in the information age: echo chambers and public scrutiny21:18 – From rules to leadership: Dean's single standard (“bless vs. curse”)23:13 – Adapt the system to the roster you actually have24:04 – Listening as strategy for buy-in26:00 – Hope and vision: conditioning with the end in mind30:26 – Don't take it personal; judge actions over words31:02 – Playing the long game when your job feels year-to-year33:44 – Embrace the mess; prepare for age-appropriate, inappropriate moments35:25 – Rapid fire: books, failures, definitions of success, habitsRapid-Fire ReferencesBooks mentioned: Coach K's leadership book (annual reread); Frosty Westering's Make the Big Time Where You Are (ethos: maximize what you have, where you are).Podcast: Better Questions by Matt Davis.Definition of success: Help people see and seize their potential—spiritually, academically, emotionally, athletically.Practical TakeawaysShrink the rulebook.

True credibility as a Christian flows from a pure heart of love. John 13:35 reminds us that others will recognize us as disciples of Christ not by our words or actions alone, but by the love we show. When our hearts are fully surrendered to God and motivated by His glory, even skeptical eyes cannot obscure the light of Christ shining through us. Highlights A pure heart of love reflects Jesus to others, regardless of perception or criticism. True discipleship is shown through consistent, Christ-centered love (John 13:35). The enemy may try to derail good intentions, but prayer and discernment restore clarity and peace. Humility and surrender amplify God’s glory, keeping the focus on Him rather than ourselves. Loving boldly, even in the face of misunderstanding, demonstrates faithfulness and obedience. God positions our hearts to bless the right people at the right time, revealing His love through us. Credibility comes not from human approval, but from a genuine, surrendered heart aligned with God.

Full Transcript Below: Gaining Credibility as a Christian Through a Pure Heart of Love By Keri Eichberger Bible Reading: By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. (John 13:35) Have you ever felt like someone was questioning your intentions? In the midst of a moment or situation where you were sure your heart was pure. When your soul wanted nothing more than to serve for the good of another or others. And to bless others for the glory of God. Yet, somewhere on the other end, for some reason, that wasn’t what seemed to be perceived. It felt like someone even thought you were doing wrong, something self-focused, or something that certainly wasn’t based on a heart yielded to God’s holy will and way. I was consumed with this same sense last week. God had placed a special someone firmly on my heart a few months back. Someone who needed his blessing in a rich way, in a trying season of her life. And as my plans to help and serve became known, it suddenly seemed there were some skeptical eyes on the sidelines. And if I’m being brutally honest, it pained me deeply. I knew my heart was pure. I knew God had called me to help in this specific way. I had prayed and prayed for his discernment and guidance. For humility, and for the love of Christ to be shown and known. But nonetheless, because of the rocky response, I found myself questioning the call. Questioning my conviction and intention. And so I did all that I knew how to do. Pray, listen, follow the Lord's lead. And to love. John 13:35 says, By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. This reminds me that everyone will know we are truly followers of Christ, that we are filled with Christ, by the love that they see in us. And by the love that flows from us. When people see our love, they will see him. And I don’t know about you, but I want people to see him. So I will continue to love out loud. That is what we all should continue to do. And we should not question our love, or the intention to love, for others. If you are truly seeking the Lord. If you genuinely desire to love the way Jesus would love, and if he is laying specific calls and directions on your heart, trust him. We need not listen to what others say, or what others might think. The enemy will certainly try to confuse and derail our good intentions. The enemy will try to make you cower to bold love. Or any bold action on behalf of Jesus. While I was being bombarded by the enemy’s misleading manipulations, I took some time to reflect, to pray, and to ask God to impress the truth upon my heart. I asked him to remove any thoughts or ideas that were not of him. I asked him to help me love the people in my path. How to best give him all the credit for every act of love and blessing. How to be confident in the particular instructions of love he had just for me. And then for peace that he would work out the details and heal the fractured pieces of every heart involved. And that’s just what he did. He gave me clarity. He gave me peace. He increased my humility to even better reflect his heart. He allowed me to be a beacon of his love light. And above all, he allowed others to see him. Not me, but Jesus. It wasn’t, and isn’t, about me or any of us. It’s never about our glory. It’s always about Jesus and his glory. And so it doesn’t even matter what some may think or say. God will use your pure heart to show his to the exact people who need it. You will gain credibility and be seen rightly, with and by the right people, when you have the right heart. A pure heart that sincerely, vulnerably, and genuinely longs to point others to him, and only to him. Intersecting Faith & Life: Let’s keep loving boldly and serving big in the ways the Lord leads us. With a pure heart. Surrendered and yielded to him. Humbled and bowed down before him. Knowing that he will reveal his goodness and the purity of our hearts to the souls he intends to bless. And those people—his people—will know the truth, will know his love, will come to know him… by our pure and holy hearts of pure and holy love.

Misinformation is a growing problem, with most Americans worried about the reliability of online information. Dan Nottingham created Mi Credible.ai to help people navigate this landscape by providing a credibility score for statements. The tool uses multiple AI models to objectively analyze sources, offering a numerical score and an explanation so users can assess the accuracy of their content before sharing it. This approach helps reduce bias, promotes informed communication, and gives businesses and individuals a measurable way to maintain trust and credibility online. Mi Credible.ai can be used for business, social, and casual purposes, from validating marketing content to settling debates among friends. Users can input any statement to check its accuracy and receive a clear score, making credibility a key performance indicator. Nottingham envisions a future in which AI tools like this serve as impartial editors, helping people navigate misinformation with confidence. The platform is currently browser-based, with mobile apps in development, and encourages users to try it themselves to see how it can improve communication and decision-making. Quotes: “Everyone is a publisher, but not everyone is an editor. That's where credibility tools come in.” “Credibility shouldn't be a buzzword; it should be a KPI for your business.” “It's not enough to be right—you have to persuade.” Resources: Connect with Dan Nottingham on LinkedIn Credibility starts with you

The dental industry is chronically supply-constrained: 97% of dentists report staffing as their primary volume limiter, 95% cite extreme recruiting difficulty, yet 75% of hygienists prioritize schedule flexibility above all else. This structural mismatch created the opportunity for Toothio—a labor marketplace connecting dental professionals seeking flexible work with practices facing critical staffing shortages. In this episode, we sat down with Ian Prendergast, Co-Founder and CEO of Toothio, to unpack how he applied labor marketplace principles from hospitality and light industrial verticals to dental, why DSO enterprise customers emerged as the true ICP only after launch, and how being an industry outsider enabled business model innovation that insiders missed. Topics Discussed: How a single golf course conversation with a dentist exposed the 97% staffing crisis and validated the market opportunity Translating labor marketplace GTM from Qwick (hospitality staffing) and Steady Install (light industrial) into dental The supply-demand structural imbalance: dental growing 10.5% CAGR, 40% workforce departure in 2020, insufficient pipeline Supply-first marketplace development and why quality/reliability required deep supply pools before demand acquisition The ICP evolution from private practices (faster sales cycles, lower risk validation) to DSO enterprise (higher volume, stickier retention) Building credibility as outsider founders through strategic SME hires, advisors, and embedding in industry associations The enterprise motion: hiring CCO and SVP Sales with dental Rolodexs to access top-10 DSO decision-makers Quantifying previously unmeasured costs: 100%+ recruiting cost increases, industry-leading turnover rates, $1,560+ daily production loss per unstaffed hygienist Leveraging AI agentic systems to eliminate geographic marketplace constraints for national expansion The moat-building roadmap: layering SaaS and RCM software over the distribution channel to increase switching costs GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Supply depth before demand scale prevents unit economics collapse: Ian's experience across three labor marketplaces reinforced one principle: excess supply is recoverable, excess demand is catastrophic. With too much demand and insufficient supply, you're "spending a bunch of money to acquire these demand users, but you're not able to fulfill the supply side. So now they're churning out at a high clip, they're going somewhere else. And now it drives up your CAC across the marketplace and reduces your lifetime value." In two-sided marketplaces, founders must resist investor pressure to show demand-side revenue before supply reliability is proven—the temporary revenue bump destroys long-term unit economics. ICP clarity requires live market data, not pre-launch assumptions: Toothio launched targeting private practices (shorter sales cycles, lower barriers, faster learning) before discovering DSOs were the actual ICP through usage cohorts showing materially higher volume and retention. Ian was explicit: "Once we got into it, we realized...the true ICP is going to be our group practices." The tactical framework: establish presence across plausible segments, instrument everything, collect 1-2 quarters of behavioral data, then redirect resources to wherever retention and expansion metrics are strongest. This data-driven ICP discovery prevents premature optimization around the wrong customer profile. Hire senior enterprise operators when you have validation plus clear TAM: Toothio broke conventional early-stage wisdom by hiring a Chief Commercial Officer and SVP Sales—roles typically considered "top-heavy"—because Ian had validated product-market fit and identified a concentrated enterprise opportunity (hundreds of DSOs). The result: "Next thing you know, we're in front of five or six of the top eight or ten DSOs in the country." The decision framework: if you have (1) proven unit economics, (2) clear product-market fit signals, and (3) an enterprise TAM with established relationship networks, senior hires with category Rolodexs can compress multi-year enterprise sales cycles into quarters. Without all three conditions, follow conventional wisdom and stay lean. Outsider economic analysis creates differentiated value propositions: Ian's non-dental background enabled him to "look at the dental office P&L and the core drivers of production with a completely neutral lens and realize that there was a lot of waste." He quantified what insiders hadn't: recruiting costs up 100%+ in five years, dental turnover among the highest of any U.S. industry, and the compounding cost of cancelled patient days (immediate production loss + 20% patient churn × $10-15K lifetime values). This economic framing repositioned Toothio from "staffing vendor" to strategic finance partner. The pattern: outsiders should weaponize their fresh perspective by conducting rigorous economic impact analysis that category incumbents haven't done, then speak to buyers in CFO language rather than operational features. Industry association involvement is enterprise distribution, not brand marketing: Ian credited local and national dental association sponsorships as "the catalyst to get us on the radar of some of the bigger orgs early" because associations created credibility signals plus network effects at scale. In relationship-driven B2B categories with strong professional associations (dental, legal, accounting, healthcare), sponsorship generates repeated exposure to concentrated decision-maker populations and warm introduction paths that cold outbound can't replicate. Founders should map the association landscape in year one, treat it as a primary distribution channel with measurable pipeline contribution, and staff it with team members who can build genuine relationships—not just write checks. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Jon Stewart has been a leading figure in political comedy since before the turn of the millennium. But compared to his early years on Comedy Central's “The Daily Show”—when Stewart was merciless in his attacks on George W. Bush's Administration—these are much more challenging times for late-night comedians. Jimmy Kimmel nearly lost his job over a remark about MAGA supporters of Charlie Kirk, after the head of the F.C.C. threatened ABC. CBS recently announced the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's program. And Stewart now finds himself very near the hot seat: Comedy Central is controlled by David Ellison, the Trump-friendly C.E.O. of the recently merged Paramount Skydance. Stewart's contract comes up in December. “You're going to sign another one?” David Remnick asked him, in a live interview at The New Yorker Festival. “We're working on staying,” Stewart said. “You don't compromise on what you do. You do it till they tell you to leave. That's all you can do.”  Stewart, moreover, doesn't blame solely Donald Trump for recent attacks on the independence of the media, universities, and other institutions. “This is the hardest truth for us to get at, is that [these] institutions . . . have problems. They do. And, if we don't address those problems in a forthright way, then those institutions become vulnerable to this kind of assault. Credibility is not something that was just taken. It was also lost.” In fact, Stewart also directs his ire at “the Democratic Party, [which] thinks it's O.K. for their Senate to be an assisted-living facility.” “In the general-populace mind, government no longer serves the interests of the people it purports to represent. That's a broad-based, deep feeling. And that helps when someone comes along and goes, ‘The system is rigged,' and people go, ‘Yeah, it is rigged.' Now, he's a good diagnostician. I don't particularly care for his remedy.”This episode was recorded live at The New Yorker Festival, on October 26, 2025. New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

That's a broad-based, deep feeling. And that helps when someone comes along and goes, ‘The system is rigged,' and people go, ‘Yeah, it is rigged.' Now, he's a good diagnostician. I don't particularly care for his remedy.”This episode was recorded live at The New Yorker Festival, on October 26, 2025.  New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

"Get your hands dirty: credibility in Japan is built in the field, not the boardroom". "Bridges beat barriers: headquarters alignment turns local problems into solvable projects". "Make people proud: structured "poster sessions" spark ownership, ideas and nemawashi". "Decisions at the edge: push market choices to those closest to customers, then coach". "Trust travels: clear logic, calm feedback, and consistency convert caution into commitment". Belgian-born power-electronics engineer turned global executive, Erwin Yseijin leads Semikron Danfoss in Japan with more than three decades across Japan, Germany, and Taiwan. Beginning as a hardware engineer in switch-mode power supplies and motor drives, he joined a Japanese semiconductor firm in Munich in 1989 and relocated to Japan in 1992, learning operations, production planning, quotations, and logistics from the inside. Subsequent leadership roles at Infineon included Japan and a five-year post-merger integration in Taiwan overseeing ~50 R&D engineers and close OEM relationships across PCs, routers, and wireless. After a gallium-nitride startup stint in Dresden, he joined Semikron, later Semikron Danfoss, leading APAC reorganisation, factory consolidation, and a direct-plus-distribution sales model, before becoming Japan President. Fluent in the technical, commercial, and cultural languages of the region, he specialises in aligning headquarters and local teams, and in building pragmatic, customer-led organisations in Japan. Erwin Yasvin exemplifies the hands-on leader who earns trust in Japan by showing up where problems live. His credo—"get your hands dirty"—is not metaphorical. When customers escalate issues, he goes with sales to uncover root causes and secure head-office commitments on the spot. That credibility shortens cycles in a market where 100% quality is table stakes and where the service "extra mile" extends even a decade beyond a nominal warranty. A European by training and temperament, he learned Japanese corporate practice from the inside in the early 1990s, when multilayered hierarchies still defined decision flow. Rather than railing against the pyramid, he mined its upside: leaders who rise through layers bring practical judgement and empathy for shop-floor realities. Yet he also streamlined speed by bridging headquarters and Japan—translating commercial logic, technical constraints, and customer detail into decisions the field can act on. He builds voice and pride through "poster sessions": monthly forums where team members present customers, markets, wins, and bottlenecks to peers. That design triggers nemawashi—quiet pre-alignment—and fosters cross-functional curiosity. By picking one or two ideas from each session and ensuring execution, he turns speaking up into visible impact. Decision rights sit with those closest to the market. Each salesperson owns one or two verticals—motor drives, wind, solar, energy storage, UPS—with accountability for target customers, competitive intel, product needs, and pricing. Headquarters supports with budgets for samples and after-warranty analysis, signalling trust with money. Where ambiguity or urgency is high—such as the 2022 exchange-rate shock—he decomposes the "working package" into digestible actions, avoiding paralysis. Mistakes are coached privately and framed as leadership accountability: if an error occurred, expectations weren't clear enough. Monthly one-on-ones, written agendas, and evidence-led conversations establish a durable logic chain that travels across language boundaries. Culture-wise, he neither copies a Japanese firm nor imposes a foreign pace. Instead, he articulates values—efficient workdays, transparent processes, skill development—while adapting compensation to local norms through a hybrid bonus model that blends guaranteed and performance-tied elements. Asked how outsiders should lead in Japan, Yasvin stresses credibility, example, and constancy: be present in the hard moments, don't over-promise, and speak in clear, digestible steps. In a country where consensus and detail orientation are prized, leaders win by aligning logic with respect—turning caution into momentum without sacrificing quality. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Japan blends layered hierarchies with high expectations for managers to understand field-level problems. Leaders gain status less by slogan and more by track record. Consensus is built through nemawashi and formalised via ringi-sho, with detail-rich documentation that honours uncertainty avoidance while preserving quality. The upside of layers is decision empathy; the downside can be speed—unless leaders bridge across functions and headquarters. Why do global executives struggle? Many push headquarters logic without translating it into local realities: customer expectations of zero defects; service beyond written warranty; and process fidelity (e.g., traceability standards) that must integrate into Japanese customers' own systems. Leaders also misread how "pride" shows up—quietly, not publicly—and miss mechanisms (like poster sessions) that let people contribute without confrontation. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Not exactly; it's uncertainty-averse. When leaders clarify the "box" and broaden it gradually, teams will step forward. Decomposing problems (e.g., FX pass-through frameworks) turns ambiguity into executable steps. Decision intelligence—structured data, clear thresholds, defined triggers—reduces uncertainty and enables action without violating quality norms. What leadership style actually works? Lead by example; be visibly present at customer flashpoints. Push decisions to the edge (market owners), back them with budgets, and coach in private. Use structured forums to surface ideas, then implement a few to prove that speaking up matters. Keep corporate values intact (efficient workdays, skill building) while tuning incentives to local practice. How can technology help? Operational dashboards that tie customer issues to root-cause analytics, plus digital twins of power-module reliability and logistics flows, elevate conversations from anecdote to evidence. Traceability systems aligned to global standards reduce manual re-entry and delays, while decision thresholds (e.g., FX bands) automate price updates and ensure fair, consistent application. Does language proficiency matter? Helpful, not decisive. Clear logic, written agendas, data, and diagrams travel farther than perfect grammar. Leaders who frame problems visually, confirm next actions, and close the loop consistently can overcome linguistic gaps, while continuing to study Japanese accelerates trust and nuance. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Credibility compounds. Show up in the hard moments, keep promises small and solid, convert ideas into implementation, and protect quality while increasing speed through better alignment. Over time, trust becomes a structural advantage with customers and within the team.

In this exclusive interview with Eric Yaverbaum, CEO of Ericho Communications and author of the definitive bestseller Public Relations for Dummies. Yaverbaum dissected the central paradox in marketing today: why are major brands rejecting AI in their advertising, even as the tech industry pours billions into automation? Yaverbaum explained that this “anti-AI” trend is not a technological rejection, but a highly strategic public relationsmove. It's a response to a deep-seated crisis of consumer trust and a sophisticated way to achieve competitive advantage in a hyper-digital world. The Core Paradox: Consumer Trust and the Anti-AI Trend Yaverbaum asserts that while AI promises efficiency, public sentiment reveals a massive gap between corporate adoption and consumer comfort. Consumer trust in AI is low, with many expressing anxiety over deepfakes, job displacement, and data misuse. * Public Sentiment: Brands like Polaroid and Heineken are actively responding to this skepticism. For example, Polaroid's viral slogan, “AI can't generate sand between your toes,” taps into a public yearning for tangible, human-produced experiences and authenticity. * Strategic Rejection: Rejecting AI is the smartest new counter-cultural marketing strategy. It positions a brand as authentic, human, and a champion against digital fatigue, creating an immediate, clear competitive distinction in a crowded market. The PR Crisis Connection: Labor and Trust A significant driver of the AI marketing backlash is the negative news cycle connecting rapid automation with mass layoffs (e.g., Amazon's cuts). * Distancing the Brand: Brands using "human-made" campaigns are intentionally distancing themselves from the negative labor narrative associated with rapid automation. This is a crucial PR move to maintain a positive ethical image and soften the perception of C-suite-driven cost reduction. * Credibility & Misinformation: The proliferation of deepfakes makes the promise of human creativity a non-negotiable asset. For consumers struggling to discern real content from AI-generated content, a brand that explicitly champions human effort becomes a trustworthy, credible harbor. Crisis Management: The 'Public Relations for Dummies' Tactic Drawing from his expertise, Eric Yaverbaum offered essential crisis communications advice for companies facing a PR nightmare (e.g., an AI mistake or layoff fallout): 1. Lead with Human Value: Pivot the narrative back to human contribution and transparency. 2. Take Meaningful Action: Sincere apologies are insufficient. Companies must demonstrate concrete steps to invest in their human workforce and stakeholders. 3. No Empty Promises: Every public decision must align with stated core values to prevent hypocrisy accusations that can destroy long-term reputation. Future Outlook: Will Public Sentiment Slow the AI Boom? Yaverbaum concluded that the backlash has the power to reshape the conversation, forcing companies to be more cautious and transparent about their use of automation. While the momentum of the technology itself may be too great to stop entirely, this shift in consumer behavior and preference will force a necessary industry-wide correction, making authenticity the most valuable asset in the modern digital economy.

Seit 1989 sind Smudo, Michi Beck, Thomas D und And.Ypsilon gemeinsam als "Die Fantastischen Vier" unterwegs. Als eine der wenigen deutschen Bands durften sie auch ihr eigenes "MTV Unplugged"-Album aufnehmen – in einer ganz besonderen Location. Im Jahr 2000 wurde diese Ehre der deutschen Hip Hop oder Rapgruppe "Die Fantastischen Vier" zuteil, als erste deutsche Ausgabe nach Herbert Grönemeyer. Aufgenommen wurde das Unplugged-Album der Band in der Balver Höhle in Nordrhein-Westfalen. Das Besondere an einem Unplugged-Album ist oft, dass darauf die größten Hits eines Künstlers, einer Künstlerin oder einer Gruppe sind und eben nicht nur das eine Album mit dem einen oder den zwei Hits. Außerdem klingt ein Unplugged-Album, der Name verrät es bereits, immer etwas anders, weil viele elektronische Elemente fehlen und Songs oft anders arrangiert werden – oft mit Orchestermusikern, weil die grundsätzlich "unplugged" – also nicht eingestöpselt spielen. Als im Jahr 2000 das Unplugged-Album der "Fantas" rausgekommen ist, hatte die Band schon elf Jahre Bandgeschichte auf dem Buckel und schon fünf Alben im Gepäck. Es gab also einiges an Material, auf das Thomas D, Smudo, Michi Beck und And.Ypsilon zurückgreifen konnten. Als die "Fantas" sich Ende der 80er gegründet haben, war Hip Hop und Rap vor allem in Amerika, wo die Musik ihren Ursprung hat, ein großes Ding. Einer der bekanntesten Vertreter war dort zum Beispiel "Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five". In Deutschland steckte Hip Hop noch in den Kinderschuhen und die Fantastischen Vier waren neben der Heidelberger Gruppe Advanced Chemistry eine der ersten erfolgreichen Rap- und Hip-Hop-Gruppen des Landes. Während Rap heute oft geprägt ist von viel vulgärer und aggressiver Sprache, weil es eben auch eine Musikrichtung des Protestes sein kann, hat SWR1-Redakteurin Julia Gehrlein an der Musik von den Fantastischen Vier auch besonders gut gefallen, dass deren Texte eben ohne viel Fluchen ausgekommen sind. Glaubwürdigkeit – oder "Credibility" – ist in vielen Musikgenres ein wichtiges Thema, ganz besonders aber im Hip Hop und Rap. Das macht es umso beeindruckender, dass die Fantastischen Vier mit ihren braveren oder gesitteteren Texten sowohl im Mainstream als auch in der Hip Hop Szene gut ankommen. Im Normalfall ist das eine klassische Entweder-Oder-Geschichte. Entweder die Szene liebt mich und ich habe dort den Respekt der "echten" Fans, oder ich richte mich nach den Regeln und (ungeschriebenen) Gesetzen der Popwelt, verdiene vielleicht mehr Geld, werde dafür aber von der Hip Hop Szene schief angeschaut. Das Besondere an dem Unplugged-Album der Fantastischen Vier ist für SWR1-Redakteurin Julia Gehrlein, dass es sich die Hip-Hop-Gruppe mit diesem Album eine gewaltige Aufgabe auferlegt hat, denn die Musik der Gruppe ist größtenteils elektronisch und nicht klassisch instrumentiert. Es wurde hier also nicht nur "ein Stecker gezogen", sondern die Songs mussten aufwendig neu arrangiert werden. Das war nicht nur viel Arbeit, sondern damit hat die Band auch jede Menge Mut bewiesen, findet SWR1 Redakteurin Julia Gehrlein. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Unplugged" sprechen wir im Podcast: (18:54) – "Sie Ist Weg"(25:47) – "Tag Am Meer"(30:51) – "Der Picknicker"(39:08) – "MfG"__________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

This episode is a proper wake-up call for anyone who has been seduced by the cult of visibility. We introverts are expected to be louder, shinier, and endlessly present to prove our worth. But what if that whole approach is precisely what drains us and keeps us from creating real impact? I unpack why our quieter, credibility-first path is not a weakness but a way that honours our authenticity. I share the process I use with my clients to build deep, sustainable visibility rooted in substance, not spectacle. Because when we create with intention, our work speaks louder than any performance ever could. Let the visibility vultures scramble for attention while we get on with the business of flourishing, from the roots up.  

Send us a textIn this episode, spooky season banter quickly gives way to a masterclass on interviewing for fire investigation: open-ended vs. leading questions, letting witnesses talk without interruption, taking notes without breaking rapport, and using scene walk-throughs to correct memory gaps and build timelines. We unpack subrogation in plain English, why early investigator deployment is value-add, and how to avoid bias from client synopses. Real cases include a mid-slope wildland start clarified by witness video, an LA industrial strip with two separate fires hours apart, and a garage Li-ion incident with practical safety takeaways. Tools mentioned include PLAUD for transcription and LLMs for formatting—not for conclusions.

It takes a lifetime to build your reputation, but breach that trust once, and the judge will never forget. And make no mistake, judges talk among themselves, so willful missteps will be known across the courthouse and for the rest of your career.  Understand the meaning of “candor to the tribunal.” When dealing with a judge, telling the truth is one thing. That can mean presenting the strengths of your case. But candor is what you also share with the judge beyond that, the thorns of the case. Judges who feel you weren't completely candid may never fully take you at your word again. They may forever wonder what you're withholding. If you've ever wondered what a judge is thinking about you, Judge Drummond lets you know and shares some of his favorite tips for building credibility and putting your best food forward from the moment you walk into the courtroom.  Resources:  Previous appearance on the Legal Talk Network, “NYU's Civil Jury Project (State Bar of Texas Annual Meeting 2024),” State Bar of Texas Podcast American Bar Association “Free Legal Answers”  Civil Jury Project, NYU School of Law  Susman Agreements: Clarity for the Rules of Civil Procedure  Access to Counsel Project, Federal Bar Counsel  “Dealing With Jerks,” by Judge Mark Drummond in ABA Litigation News  “Understanding the Pareto Principle (The 80/20 Rule),” Better Explained  American Bar Association American Bar Association Litigation Section

In this week's sermon series, "Books of the Book," we explored the Book of Titus, one of the letters written by the Apostle Paul. This letter, addressed to Titus, who was left in Crete to organize the church, provides timeless guidance on living a godly life and doing good works as a testament to the Gospel. Key Themes Understanding the Purpose of Paul's Letters Paul's letters were often written to specific individuals or groups but intended for public reading within the church community. In Titus 1:1–4, Paul establishes his authority and clarifies his mission: to strengthen the faith of God's elect and deepen their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness. This dual purpose forms the backbone of his letter to Titus. The Role of Good Works A significant theme in the letter is the role of good works in the life of a believer. Paul emphasizes that while we are not saved by good works, we are saved for them. Once the Gospel is embraced, it calls believers to good works as a natural outflow of faith. This is captured in Titus 2:11–14, where Paul explains that God's grace teaches us to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives, making us eager to do what is good. Credibility of the Gospel Paul's message to Titus underscores the importance of living lives that reflect the Gospel's truth. In Titus 2:10, he writes that our conduct should make the teaching about God our Savior attractive. Believers must not only share the Gospel but also live it out through their actions, proving its credibility. Order in Church and Family Paul instructs Titus to establish order within the church and family. In Titus 1:5, Titus is tasked with appointing blameless elders who can lead by example. Similarly, older men and women are encouraged to live respectable lives, guiding the younger generation to pursue righteousness. This orderliness reflects God's nature and strengthens the church's witness in a chaotic world. The Importance of Sound Doctrine Paul stresses that right belief (orthodoxy) leads to right behavior (orthopraxy). The good news should naturally lead to good works, and this alignment is crucial for the church's mission. The believers in Crete, living amidst a culture known for moral laxity, needed this reminder to stand out by their conduct. Communion as a Reminder The sermon concluded with a call to remember Jesus' sacrifice through communion—a practice that reinforces the Gospel's message. The act of taking communion reminds us of Jesus' body broken and His blood shed for our sins, motivating us to live in ways that honor His sacrifice. Conclusion Paul's letter to Titus is a powerful reminder that the Gospel transforms lives, calling believers to show their faith through good works. By living orderly, godly lives, believers can make the Gospel attractive to others, drawing others to the hope found in Jesus Christ. As we reflect on this message, let us strive to be credible witnesses of the Gospel, eager to do the good works for which we were saved.

Economic pressure is shrinking returns and tightening capital—but there's a smarter way forward. In this episode, Michael Blank reconnects with Richard Wilson, founder of the Family Office Club, to explore how multifamily operators can add new strategic layers—not abandon their base.Richard explains why family offices are focusing less on projected returns and more on trust, positioning, and access. He breaks down how top operators are earning investor confidence, raising capital through debt and niche strategies, and using AI to scale their investor reach and event ecosystems. This isn't about leaving multifamily—it's about unlocking more sophisticated pathways to grow wealth and build influence.Key TakeawaysRelationships outweigh returnsInvestors commit capital based on trust, not just numbers.Track records are only as strong as the operator's transparency during tough times.Desperation repels capital—authenticity and long-term engagement are key.Multifamily is a foundationReal estate experience builds credibility that opens doors to new asset classes.Diversification into storage, assisted living, or industrial doesn't replace multifamily—it expands the investor's options.Many capital raisers evolve beyond single-operator deals by layering in flexibility and variety.Great fund managers think like media companiesCreating value-rich content builds investor confidence long before a deal shows up.Every touchpoint—grad parties, social media, one-on-one texts—is a chance to reinforce trust.Consistent communication and thoughtful follow-up outperform one-off pitches.Family offices play a long gameThey don't just invest in deals—they invest in people with generational vision.Credibility, track record, and staying power are non-negotiables.It often takes years of rapport-building before a single dollar is committed—but the result is deep, repeatable capital.Connect with RichardWebsiteLinkedInConnect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal Analyzer

Acts 19:8-20 8 And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God. 9 But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus. 10 This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. 11 And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them. 13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.15 But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered allof them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. 18 Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. 19 And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver.20 So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.   Key Words: Extraordinary, Miracles, Evil Spirit, Fear, Confessing, Prevail Keystone Verse: Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?

Most law firms only see a fraction of the referrals, repeat business, and authority they could be getting — all because they're measuring the wrong things. Marc explains how to uncover the true ROI of your firm's content marketing and use it to attract better clients, charge what you're worth, and make your other marketing work even harder.

New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new essay collection, Three or More is a Riot: Notes on How We Got Here: 2012-2025. Cobb recalls how he began the project by trying to understand how George Zimmerman's killing of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 set the tone for the era to come. Cobb considers how history's exceptions skew narratives, so that writers miss the bigger picture. He reflects on how discourse about race shifted between the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations and considers the juxtaposition of Martin's murder with Obama's presidency. Cobb also speaks on the significance of transparency in journalism, calling for reporters to show their work to reinforce public trust. He explains his preference for a lowercase “b” in “black” as a racial term, given that the word is not a proper noun, does not designate a nationality, and that capitalization may perpetuate inaccurate racial ideologies. Cobb reads from Three or More Is a Riot. To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Maurice Obstfeld joins Alan Dunne for a clear-eyed look at how the foundations of the global monetary system are shifting - and why much of the world is quietly preparing for a future without a stable dollar anchor. Drawing on decades in policy and research, Obstfeld explains how tariffs, fiscal dominance, and political interference are eroding the norms that once held the system together. They discuss the risk of fragmentation, the creeping politicization of the Fed, and why trust - not theory - is the real currency at stake. This is a conversation about power, credibility, and what happens when both start to slip.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Read more about Maurice here.Episode TimeStamps: 02:18 - Introduction to Maurice Obstfeld05:26 - The role and evolution of the International Monetary Fund (IMF)08:14 - What has been the rationale for tariffs, and how has it impacted the economy?11:13 - Has the viewpoint on tariffs shifted?18:42 - How the changing monetary policy could undermine the dollar27:19 - Does an alternative to the dollar even exist?29:50 - What are the implications of moving away from the dollar?34:20 - A possible financial repression incoming?36:25 - The impact of an unusual approach to policy making domestically39:16 - A fork in the road for the...
