You know you need to play bigger, get visible, and grow your authority—but stepping into the limelight can feel daunting. Whether it's speaking at more events, guesting on podcasts, or even creating your own podcast or videos, there's often something that keeps you stuck—a reason you keep procrastinating. Those nagging inner voices of self-doubt keep whispering that you're not good enough, smart enough, or qualified enough to be in the spotlight. But what if I told you that every single expert started exactly where you are right now—scared, uncertain, but secretly knowing they had something valuable to say? In this episode, with transformational coach Lisa Kalmin, we're breaking down those mental barriers and giving you the roadmap to confidently own your voice and authority. Lisa shares what might be holding you back from stepping fully into your expertise, the most common fears, and practical tips to overcome limiting beliefs—so you can rock the mic and boost your visibility and authority.    What You'll Learn The root cause of self-doubt and a shift that makes it easier to build confidence How childhood experiences secretly shape your professional visibility and authority. The surprising difference between how men and women approach professional opportunities. How to use ‘I am' statements to step into your power  How to pour authentic energy into virtual conversations and presentations.

One proposal in the recently passed "big, beautiful bill" that didn't make it to the finish line was an amendment from Utah Sen. Mike Lee, which would have jump-started a sell-off of federally owned lands. On this episode of Plain Talk, John Bradley, executive director of the North Dakota Wildlife Federation, talked about that victory, and also discussed the place in politics conservation issues often find themselves.  "Conservation sometimes becomes the dog that everybody can get behind kicking," he said. Bradley expressed a desire for public lands to become a "third rail" issue that politicians are "terrified to go after," but also acknowledged that there are instances where some sales make sense. He says there is, in existing law, a process for selling or swapping out federal lands, and while he admits that it can be bureaucratic, he also says that it's important that all interested parties are involved in that process. Bradley also discussed his group's recent criticism of North Dakota's congressional delegation's support for using the Congressional Review Act to rewrite federal land use rules that the delegation says are too arduous for the energy industry and other interests. He called the approach "scorched earth," arguing it "wipes that entire process" and assumes D.C. politicians "know better" than local experts. Also on this episode, we discussed the hard feelings between Attorney General Drew Wrigley's office and the North Dakota Ethics Commission, as well as news that millions in federal dollars for after school programs in North Dakota have been frozen. There are "crickets from the congressional delegation in terms of unfreezing this money," my co-host Chad Oban said of the situation. "Crickets from the governor's office to unfreeze this money. Crickets from the superintendent of public instruction." "I understand that [Superintendent Kirsten Baesler] is trying to get a job in Washington, but if our superintendent of public instruction is not screaming and yelling to unfreeze these dollars, I'm not sure she can be doing her job," he added. "Our congressional delegation should be pounding on the door of OMB and the Department of Education getting this money to our kids in North Dakota, but everybody's afraid of Trump," he continued.

Here's the brutal truth about social media for sales: You're already behind, and it's going to be a grind. That's the reality Margarita from Dallas discovered when she called into our podcast. She's a seasoned realtor with 20+ years of experience, built her entire business on referrals and warm market relationships, and suddenly realized she needs to master social media to stay competitive. Sound familiar? You're not alone if you're staring at this digital mountain wondering how the hell you're going to climb it. But what makes Margarita's situation even more challenging and why her story matters to every sales professional reading is this: She's trying to compress 20 years of relationship building into a social media strategy that can compete with people who've been doing this for decades. The Tom Cruise Problem: Building Your Social Media Presence Takes Time Remember the first time you saw Tom Cruise in a movie? For me, it was Risky Business, some kid dancing around in his underwear. He wasn't the "last movie star" then. He was just another actor trying to make it. But here's the thing: Today, if you saw Tom Cruise walking down the street, you'd lose your mind. You'd want selfies, autographs, the whole nine yards. Why? Because over decades, he created millions of micro-interactions that built trust, familiarity, and fandom. That's exactly what you need to do on social media. You need to create fans of YOU. The problem is that most sales professionals want to skip the relationship-building phase and jump straight to the closing phase. They want to post a few listing videos and magically generate leads. That's not how it works. The Algorithm Rewards Consistency, Not Perfection Here's the part that's going to hurt: You need to post every single day. Not when you feel like it. Not when you have something "good" to share. Every. Single. Day. When you first start, your content is going to suck. Your first TikTok video? Three people will watch it. Your first Instagram post? Crickets. Your first LinkedIn article? Your mom and your real estate buddy will like it. I know because I've been there. We've all been there. The algorithms don't care about your feelings—they care about consistency. Think about it this way: You're not just competing with other sales professionals for attention. You're competing with Netflix, YouTube, TikTok, and every other form of entertainment for your prospects' eyeballs. The only way to win that battle is to show up relentlessly until people start recognizing your name and face. The Two-Bucket Strategy: Marketing vs. Lead Generation When you think about social media as a sales professional, you need to separate it into two distinct buckets: Bucket 1: Marketing and Brand Building This is about name recognition, familiarity, and staying top-of-mind. When people in your market are ready to buy or sell, your name should be the first one they think of. This bucket is about volume, consistency, and building your personal brand. Bucket 2: Direct Lead Generation This is about watching what prospects are doing, engaging with them directly, and converting social interactions into sales conversations. This bucket is about quality, relationship building, and moving people from digital relationships to actual appointments. Most people focus entirely on Bucket 1 and wonder why they're not getting leads. Others focus only on Bucket 2 and wonder why their content isn't reaching anyone. You need both working in harmony. Your 3-Pillar Content Strategy System Here's what you need to post consistently: Original Content: This is your unique perspective, your experience, your stories. If you're a 20-year veteran like Margarita, you have war stories that new agents don't. You've survived market crashes, interest rate spikes, and industry changes. Share that wisdom. Curated Content: Find industry articles, market reports, and news relevant to your prospects.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.   I opened my phone to "just check one thing," and suddenly, I was 20 minutes deep in the same echo chamber of highlight reels and hot takes. Everyone's shouting their wins, sharing their "expertise," and looking oh-so-confident doing it.   But the women I actually know? The brilliant, wise, faith-filled world changers who are raising babies, running businesses, and serving with their whole hearts? Crickets.   And here's the thing—it's not because they don't have something to say. They've got degrees, experience, and stories that would drop your jaw and light your soul on fire. But online? They've gone silent. Not because the algorithm is hiding them. Because they're hiding themselves.   We don't have a content problem. We have a visibility problem. So, if you've been playing small, hiding behind the highlight reel, or waiting for a sign, this is it. It's time to show up, not for applause, but for obedience.    Visibility isn't about vanity. It's about being faithful to the assignment you've already been given. Let's talk about how to rise up and step in. This one's for you.

Sure AI is handy to use and can speed up content creation, but if your marketing sounds like everybody elses (or like AI) you are going to repel instead of attract your ideal client.

Explore why emotional triggers matter more than you think in communication. Uncover the truth about AI-generated content and how to make it authentic. Find out why talking to one person matters more than addressing a crowd.

I'll be honest… I resisted this change. For months, I clung to the weekly schedule like it was some sort of badge of honor. But as my business has evolved, I realized my podcast needed to evolve with it. So here's the big news: I'm moving from weekly episodes to every other week—and I want to take you behind the scenes on why, what's shifting, and what's coming next that I'm really excited about. Why I resisted this change, and how pulling the trigger was so freeing. How change is inevitable and why it should be embraced vs resisted.

What actually happens when you get a lead? Where do they go? This week we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most common (and overlooked) questions in real estate: what do you do with a lead after you get it? Whether they came from an open house, a sign call, a referral, or your kid's holiday party, every lead needs a place to live, and it's your job to keep track of them so they don't fall through the cracks. In this episode, we walk you through exactly what we do with our leads and the systems we use to stay organized. From Katy's one-sheet paper planner to Alissa's Trello board, we share real-life examples and offer simple, do-able ideas you can start using immediately. NEW TRELLO VIDEO!!! You'll hear about: The difference between an email list, a prospect list, and your database How to decide who goes where How Alissa uses Trello to track leads from pre-approved to ghosted (C is for Crickets!) Katy's buyer lead sheets and weekly activity sheet Why you don't need a fancy CRM to keep up with your leads The one question to ask yourself before adding someone to your database Easy email ideas to stay in touch with cold leads How to track social media connections without being creepy This episode is your friendly reminder that you don't need a perfect system—you just need a system. We'll help you figure out the one that actually works for you.  

In this episode of the Your Dream Business Podcast, I talk about the big mistakes a lot of business owners make during their webinars that end up hurting their sales and costing them money. Based on my own experience with marketing and running webinars, I highlight three common slip-ups: treating webinars like free lessons, not showing your expertise clearly, and rushing through the part where you actually sell. I also break down how to set up a webinar that really works—like using case studies, setting the right tone, and confidently sharing your offer. If you're a course creator, membership site owner, or coach looking to make your webinars more effective and boost your results, this episode is definitely worth a listen. KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST Webinars aren't a free workshop—balance teaching with teasing – Give just enough helpful content to demonstrate value and spark “aha” moments, but leave room for curiosity so attendees still want the paid offer. Show your authority all the way through –Sprinkle in short case studies, quick wins, and personal proof as you teach; this builds trust and positions you as the obvious guide before you even reach the pitch. Slow down and sell with a clear structure –Warm‑up → story → offer → next steps. Move through each phase confidently, repeat the benefits, and handle questions—don't rush the close if you want conversions. If you enjoyed this episode then please feel free to go and share it on your social media or head over to Apple podcasts or Spotify and give me a review, I would be so very grateful.

At this spot, high up on The Warren, in the dead of night, live the crickets. They're everywhere. Stridulating, like tiny minute hands etching the moments, of this night's time passing. Crisp. Unwitnessed. They're probably dark bush crickets. The Lento box records the scene alone, on a warm night last August. Tied to a very difficult tree. Difficult because it was very spiny. And off the path, part way down a precipitous drop. Why not an easier tree? Because of the view. This tree looks out over the valley, over all the tree tops, towards the hushing sea, far below.  Time passes. Somewhere in the valley, an ocean breeze lows in. Shifts a bank of trees into a state of gentle rustling. Countless crickets mark the moments. Then from nowhere a nocturnal train materialises in the bottom of the valley, right of scene. It glides across, and into the left horizon. Further and further. Until finally, it dissolves, and becomes just another part of this place's subtle, and natural murmurings. Perhaps a hedgehog is moving in the bushes. And a hint of a plane, heading south east towards France. * This 50 minute section is from a 48 hour recording we made in Folkestone Warren last August. It captures a deeply peaceful scene of this green and tangled place, by the sea, and the endlessly breaking waves of the Channel. Listen carefully (with headphones or airpods) and you may catch sound of a lower pitched cricket to left of scene. We still aren't sure what exactly it is, but it sounds like the cicadas in old films from 1950s America.

In this episode, Caleb Siman takes us deep into the 2025 Ohio spring turkey season — and the obsession that's taken over his woods. 11 times he's been face-to-face with the same stubborn gobbler, but the perfect shot on camera continues to slip away. From early morning setups to heart-pounding close calls, Caleb walks us through the highs, frustrations, and pure grit it takes to chase one bird across an entire season. Let's be honest — post a big buck, and the likes roll in. Post a strutting longbeard? Crickets. In this episode, Caleb & Isaac also dive into the weird reality of turkey hunting content on social media. Despite the challenge, the calling, and the chess match of spring gobblers, turkey season just doesn't seem to get the respect it deserves online. Is it the lack of antlers? The short attention span of the algorithm? Or is turkey hunting just for the diehards now? They break it all down — the passion, the frustration, and why he keeps chasing longbeards even when nobody seems to care.

What happens when a voice emerges? What happens when one is lost? Is something gained? A couple months ago, Lulu guest edited an issue of the nature magazine Orion. She called the issue “Queer Planet: A Celebration of Biodiversity,” and it was a wide-ranging celebration of queerness in nature. It featured work by amazing writers like Ocean Vuong, Kristen Arnett, Carmen Maria Machado and adrienne maree brown, among many others. But one piece in particular struck Lulu as something that was really meant to be made into audio, an essay called “Key Changes,” by the writer Sabrina Imbler. If their name sounds familiar, it might be because they've been on the show before. In this episode, we bring you Sabrina's essay – which takes us from the beginning of time, to a field of crickets, to a karaoke bar – read by the phenomenal actor Becca Blackwell, and scored by our director of sound design Dylan Keefe.

In an episode first aired in 2012, Lulu Miller introduces us to Jeff Lockwood, a professor at the University of Wyoming, who spent a part of his career studying a particularly ferocious set of insects: Gryllacrididae. Or, as Jeff describes them, "crickets on steroids." They have crushingly strong, serrated jaws, and they launch all-out attacks on anyone who gets in their way--whether it's another cricket, or the guy trying to take them out of their cages.In order to work with the gryllacridids, Jeff had to figure out how to out-maneuver them. And as he devised ways to keep from getting slashed and bitten, he felt like he was getting to know them. Maybe they weren't just mindless brutes ... but their own creatures, each with their own sense of self. And that got him wondering: what could their fierceness tell him about the nature of violence? How well could he understand the minds of these insects, and what drove them to be so bloody?That's when the alarm bells went off. Jeff would picture his mentor, Dr. LaFage, lecturing him back in college--warning him not to slip into a muddled, empathic mood ... not to let his emotions sideswipe his objectivity. And that would usually do the trick--Jeff would think of LaFage, and rein himself back in.But then one night, something happened that gave Dr. LaFage's advice a terrible new kind of significance. Tamra Carboni tells us this part of the story, and challenges Jeff's belief that there's a way to understand it.Sign up for our newsletter!!
