Buddy Holly tuvo una carrera meteórica. Tras ver a Elvis Presley en 1955, fichó con la discográfica Decca. Pero sus singles no tenían éxito. Insatisfecho, Holly publicó sus canciones con el grupo The Crickets. En 1957, el éxito de los singles "That'll Be the Day" y "Peggy Sue" llevó a los Crickets a ser el primer conjunto blanco en tocar en el Teatro Apollo del barrio de Harlem. Tras la disolución del grupo, en 1959, Holly alquiló una avioneta para unirse a la gira del certamen Winter Dance Party en Wisconsin. El 3 de febrero de 1959, la aeronave se estrelló a cinco millas del punto de despegue. Junto a Holly fallecieron los músicos Richie Valens y The Big Bopper. Holly tenía 22 años. A pesar de su corta carrera, Buddy Holly dejó un legado inmenso: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello y Weezer son solo algunos de sus herederos.

Hello nerds.When I first started interviewing Scott Santens years ago during the Nerds for Yang era, he was one of the most relentless and articulate advocates for universal basic income (UBI) in America. Back then, it felt like the country was on the verge of something big. Andrew Yang was on the debate stage making “Freedom Dividend” a household phrase. Silicon Valley technologists were whispering about automation in the same breath as moral responsibility. Even Republican voters were entertaining the idea that direct cash transfers might be less bureaucratic and more empowering than sprawling social programs.Fast forward to 2025, and the conversation feels quieter. The pandemic-era stimulus checks are long gone. Washington has reverted to tribal warfare. Meanwhile, AI is advancing faster than anyone—maybe even Scott and Andrew —predicted. The irony is thick: the very forces that made UBI seem like a radical idea a decade ago are now transforming entire industries before our eyes. And yet, the movement feels stuck in neutral.So when Scott rejoined me on Nerds for Humanity this month from his new base in Washington, D.C., I wanted to know: What happened? Why did UBI lose its moment? And is there a realistic path back to the mainstream before millions of Americans get left behind?The Move to D.C. and the Lost MomentScott began by explaining why he left New Orleans for D.C. a few years ago. “It just seemed that UBI was really a bigger part of the conversation,” he said. “I thought if the Democrats came in again in 2024, I could actually get some traction.”He laughs a little when he says that now. “That didn't end up happening,” he admitted, reflecting on how the Biden reelection froze the kind of idea competition that defined 2020. “The big problem was that Biden decided to run again, and there was no primary process. Then suddenly Kamala comes in and still no primary process. So there was no ideas competition. We really missed out on that.”That lack of competition, Scott argues, has a ripple effect. Political movements thrive on moments of contrast, when new ideas bump up against old dogmas and voters are forced to re-evaluate assumptions. The 2020 race—with Yang, Sanders, Warren, and others pitching structural reforms—was one of those rare idea-rich moments. 2024, by comparison, was a desert.As Scott put it bluntly: “We were close enough to taste it during the pandemic. It really felt like we were actually on the cusp of doing a monthly cash payment that could change things. But none of that happened.”He's not wrong. The COVID checks were, in effect, a large-scale experiment in direct income support. Poverty temporarily plummeted. Families caught their breath. Consumer demand stayed strong. And then we let it all expire.AI Ate the Jobs While America SleptWhat's striking about this quiet period, as I noted to Scott, is that the threat he and Yang warned about—the automation of work—is no longer hypothetical. Knowledge worker jobs are being eaten by AI faster than policy debates can catch up.“I'm a parent of two teenagers,” I told him. “Other parents are starting to wonder if a computer science degree is still the golden ticket. Should we be preparing our kids to be plumbers instead?”Scott nodded grimly. “It's disheartening,” he said. “Now that these impacts are here… this is the stuff that we've been warning about. It's not a sudden thing, but it does seem to already be impacting the entry-level job market.”He pointed to a convergence of pressures: corporate hiring freezes driven by uncertainty around tariffs, companies experimenting with AI productivity tools, and executives under shareholder pressure to “do more with less.” The result: stagnating headcount even in high-growth sectors.“We don't really need people that we likely would have if AI had not been introduced,” he said. I observed from Silicon Valley, “What we're seeing right now is that companies can grow revenue while keeping headcount flat.”It's not a collapse. It's a quiet deceleration—a slow bleed. And that's arguably more dangerous because it doesn't provoke a policy response. There's no headline-grabbing “AI layoffs.” Just the invisible absence of opportunities for millions of new grads.Even top business schools are struggling to place students. “It's like the hardest market in years,” Scott said, and I agreed. “If we hit a recession,” he warned, “that's when all these businesses really lean into productivity. The recession ends, and they realize they don't need those people back.”That scenario—automation accelerated by economic downturn—is the nightmare UBI advocates have been predicting for over a decade. Each downturn becomes a ratchet that permanently eliminates another layer of middle-class work.The Automation MirageWhen politicians talk about “bringing manufacturing jobs back,” Scott and I get visibly frustrated. “I don't think people realize—you don't need that many people in those factories anymore,” I said.He reminded me of a chart he once published showing that U.S. manufacturing output is higher than ever, even though manufacturing employment has fallen dramatically. “We're manufacturing more than ever, we just have fewer jobs,” he said. “If we did reshoring, sure, we could manufacture even more, but jobs would continue going down.”I brought up a U.S. tech investor who recently toured Chinese EV plants. “He said the number of BYD employees per car is something like a fifth of what it is for Ford or GM,” I told Scott. “If we build plants here, we're not going to hire 20 people per car—we'll hire four or five.”Scott didn't hesitate: “Exactly. The only way to bring it back is to minimize labor. American labor is expensive. You can't both re-shore and keep the same job intensity.”Then he pivoted to a deeper critique of political dishonesty. “Trump sold a lot of people false hope,” he said. “He told them, ‘Once I negotiate these trade deals, everything's gonna be back to post–World War II full employment.' But that's a lie. We've heard that lie over and over again, even from people in the AI world. They say this will create more jobs than it displaces. Come on. We all know the realities.”This is the paradox of modern capitalism: productivity growth has decoupled from employment growth. We make more stuff with fewer people. And our political imagination hasn't caught up to that new reality.From Careers to Gigs: The New NormalScott traced this shift back decades. “We know what happened when we displaced people from manufacturing jobs—they went lower down the ladder into lower-paying work,” he said. “You went from careers to gig labor.”He rattled off examples that have become painfully familiar: “People now earn extra money by signing up for Uber, delivering food, DoorDashing. There's just a transformation of what employment even means.”In Scott's view, the only logical response to this is UBI. “You need to make sure everyone actually gets basic income,” he said. “That helps feed demand for new jobs. If people's incomes fall as a result of AI, demand falls. And when demand falls, the entire economy reorients.”He pointed to a staggering statistic: “Right now, the top 10% are buying half of everything produced and sold in the U.S. It's a very unequal consumption economy. The markets start ignoring the basic needs of people and reorient around luxury experiences.”That imbalance, he argued, isn't just economic—it's political. “It leads to people getting violent. It's key to the erosion of democracy.”The Coming Middle-Class AwakeningIf there's any silver lining, I said, it's that the pain is spreading up the income ladder.“I think it's going to affect a lot of middle-class and upper-middle-class people in a way it hasn't before,” I said. “When Andrew talked about truck drivers losing jobs, people thought, ‘My kid's going to college, they'll be fine.' Now they're realizing maybe not.”Scott agreed. “We just didn't realize how fast it would hit arts, music, images, and photos. I didn't think about that. It took me by surprise.”I added, “When he said doctors and lawyers, it felt far away. Now you're like—oh s**t—that's happening right now.”He laughed and I added more examples. “People are winning court cases using ChatGPT as their attorney. And with tools like Sora and Grok Imagine, you can generate realistic videos and images instantly. There's no ground truth anymore.”That last point hits hard. “You just give people a reason to doubt it,” Scott said. “You can have fake security cam footage of Sam Altman stealing something, and people will believe it. Or you can have real footage of Trump doing something, and people won't.”When truth itself becomes negotiable, democracy can't function. Evidence is the oxygen of public accountability. Once it's gone, all we have left are teams—and team loyalty.The Tariff FantasyThat team loyalty came up again when I told Scott about a debate I'd had with a MAGA relative in Florida. My brother argued that Trump's tariffs would pay for his tax cuts. Scott immediately laughed. “Even assuming that were true—which it's not—you're still taxing the working and middle class to pay for tax cuts for the rich,” he said.He broke it down simply: “It doesn't make any sense to say, ‘Tariff revenue will cover it.' Who covers the tariff revenue? It's the consumers. And yet people believe it.”Scott sees this as part of the broader epistemic collapse—people believing “whatever their team is saying,” no matter how illogical. “It's impressive in some ways,” I said. “You can propose policies that hurt your base and they'll cheer you for it.” He nodded. “Yeah. It's really frustrating.”UBI Research: Misunderstood and MisreportedI asked Scott about recent UBI research that some media outlets described as “disappointing.” His response was both sharp and nuanced.“Those weren't negative results,” he said. “They were null results.” He walked me through three often-cited studies: Baby's First Years, the Denver Homeless Pilot, and Sam Altman's Worldcoin/Overture experiment.“The key is to understand what's being tested,” he explained. “These weren't saturation pilots. They gave money to small groups of individuals. But real universal basic income changes communities. It creates new demand, new jobs, new dynamics.”He contrasted these with the Alaska Permanent Fund, which distributes oil dividends to every state resident annually. “In Alaska, we saw an overall increase in employment due to the dividend,” he said. “Some people worked less, but the spending created new jobs.”That's the essence of his argument: if you only study individuals, you miss the macro effects.He was especially skeptical of the way media covered the Baby's First Years study, which found no measurable difference in children's brain development after four years of $333 monthly payments. “That's a null result, not a failure,” Scott said. “It doesn't mean UBI doesn't work. It just means we didn't see differences yet. Impacts often show up later in life.”He also noted that measuring brain development via EEG scans is an odd and narrow metric. “Maybe families were happier. Maybe they bought what they needed. That still matters.”The Secret Study and New FrontiersScott hinted that a major new study is underway. “There's a study I can't talk about,” he said, smiling, “but it's looking at something no other experiment has looked at. I'm excited for those results.”He also mentioned Jeff Atwood (co-founder of Stack Overflow) is funding a $50 million set of county-level pilots, focusing on rural areas. “That's exciting,” Scott said. “It's a different political slice, and it's potentially saturation-like.”Globally, he's watching Thailand closely. “They announced they were going to do a negative income tax starting in 2027,” he said. “If that happens, they'd be the first country in the world to have a basic income guarantee. It could reduce poverty by over 90%.”Then he sighed. “But the day after they announced it, their prime minister got fired. So who knows.”ITSA Foundation: Building UBI From the Ground UpScott's not just theorizing anymore. His ITSA Foundation is taking action with two ambitious projects launching next year.First, the Bootstraps documentary series, which follows families receiving a basic income to humanize the policy through storytelling. “Storytelling is key,” he said. “People need to feel it, not just read data.”Second, the Comingle app, which will create what he calls “a small basic income floor of around $50 per week without waiting for government.”“You can create it yourself, through community pooling,” he said. “If Bill Gates joined Comingle and put 7% of his income in, everyone's income would go up. Don't worry about him getting $50 a week—everyone benefits.”It's the kind of practical experimentation the movement needs: bottom-up systems proving that shared prosperity can be engineered today, not someday.Reflections: The Hard Politics of Intelligent ReformAfter the interview ended, I stayed live on the stream to share a few personal reflections—some of them, frankly, tinged with frustration.I told my audience that I'm a believer in two three-letter acronyms: UBI and RCV (ranked choice voting). I have conviction that both are essential for a healthier democracy and a fairer economy. Yet it's maddening how little traction they get compared to what dominates our discourse.This morning, I argued politics with another MAGA acquaintance on WhatsApp. He was fired up about “the trans agenda” and “illegals.” When I asked what he thought about RCV or UBI, he admitted he didn't know what they were.And that, I said, is the tragedy. Many voters are animated by cultural wedge issues that barely affect their lives, while transformative structural reforms barely register. People will march for hours over trans athletes, but not over gerrymandering, open primaries, or the collapse of middle-class livelihoods.Maybe that's why Scott is investing in storytelling. “You have to boil this down into a bumper sticker,” I said. “Or a story.” Policy briefs won't cut through a media ecosystem optimized for outrage.It's sobering to realize how little energy we allocate to existential issues—like the sustainability of democracy or the viability of a middle-class life in an AI-driven economy—compared to the performative culture wars that dominate cable news.A Political System Addicted to DistractionI sometimes wonder if America is capable of solving long-term problems anymore. We have the tools and the talent, but not the attention span.We obsess over symbolic fights while the foundations rot. Closed primaries keep extremists in power. Gerrymandered districts ensure incumbents never lose. The electoral incentives all point toward division, not solutions.UBI and RCV are, in many ways, tests of whether we can think systemically again—about incentives, about fairness, about the structural forces shaping our future. And right now, the answer seems to be: not yet.As I told my audience, “It's sad that people will march for red-meat issues where government isn't even the decisive actor, while ignoring how broken the system itself has become.”The AI asteroid is heading straight for us. Millions of jobs—white-collar jobs—are on the chopping block. And neither party is talking seriously about it. Not Trump, not Schumer, not Newsom. Maybe Andrew Yang. Maybe Buttigieg. Maybe Bernie. But as a national conversation? Crickets.What's Next: Awakening or DenialMy optimism, if you can call it that, lies in inevitability. The pain will broaden until reform becomes unavoidable. Middle-class professionals will begin to experience the same precarity that working-class Americans have faced for decades.The good news is that when comfortable people get uncomfortable, politics shifts. The bad news is that it often takes crisis to get there.UBI isn't charity. It's infrastructure for an economy that no longer guarantees stability through employment. It's the plumbing of a post-industrial democracy.Scott put it best when he said: “You have to make sure everyone actually gets basic income so you have that cash. That can feed demand for new jobs. Without it, demand falls, inequality grows, and democracy erodes.”A Call to the NerdsAs we wrapped, I asked Scott how people could stay involved. “Sign up at ItsaFoundation.org,” he said. “Subscribe to the newsletter. Next year we'll have the Bootstraps docu-series, the Comingle app, and events across the country to organize communities.”I told him I'd be cheering him on. Because, frankly, the next five years are going to test whether America is still capable of rational self-government—or if we've outsourced that too.If you've made it this far into this post, you're probably one of the few people left who actually cares about data, ideas, and structural reform. You're a nerd. And that's a good thing.But as I told my audience at the end of the livestream: being a nerd isn't enough. We need to organize, support, and amplify. If we don't, the algorithms will drown out the quiet voices of reason.So if you value this kind of long-form conversation—the kind you won't find on cable news—please consider becoming a Nerds for Humanity YouTube channel member.

The facility, now a sprawling 50,000 square feet, is the latest investment from owner Arthur Blank, bringing the total spend on the space to over $90 million. What’s new? A second gym for Atlanta United 2 and Academy players, a cutting-edge Emory Healthcare Studio (complete with podcast and video production spaces), and more than 100 workspaces for staff. Marietta Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin called the ribbon-cutting a celebration of progress. The timing couldn’t be better, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup just around the corner. Atlanta United expects to host an international team at the facility during the tournament, and Tumlin is confident it’ll be the top pick. And they’re not done yet. Phase two is already in the works, with plans for hydrotherapy rooms, hyperbaric chambers, and expanded recovery spaces. The goal? To have it all ready before the World Cup kicks off. STORY 2: Toastique brings gourmet toast and juices to east Cobb Toastique has officially landed at the corner of Roswell and Johnson Ferry roads, bringing a fresh twist to the neighborhood’s food scene. Think gourmet toast, smoothies, and juices—but make it Instagram-worthy. Founded by former Division 1 cheerleader Brianna Keefe, Toastique started in D.C. back in 2018 and has since grown into a national sensation. Here in East Cobb, Rex and Leslie Sheridan are running the show. The menu? Packed with healthy, colorful options. Fan favorites include the Smoked Salmon toast (loaded with salmon, herbed cream cheese, and all the fixings), the Açai Smoothie Bowl, and the Avocado Smash. Rex, a pescatarian, swears by the Tomato Burrata toast—“It’s my go-to,” he says. The vibe inside matches the food: light, airy, and full of plants. There’s even a to-go fridge stocked with pressed juices and chia puddings, all made in-house. For Rex, this isn’t just a business—it’s personal. After years of health struggles, he discovered that better eating was the key to feeling better. Toastique is open daily, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 4250 Roswell Road. Stop by, snap a pic, and taste what all the buzz is about. STORY 3: Brian Snitker out as Braves' manager, will transition into advisory role  After months of whispers and speculation, Brian Snitker finally made it official: he’s stepping down as Atlanta Braves manager after the 2025 season. But don’t worry—he’s not going far. Starting in 2026, Snitker will take on an advisory role with the team, marking his 50th year with the Braves organization. At a press conference at Truist Park, the Braves announced Snitker’s transition and revealed he’ll be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame next year. The event was full of praise, gifts, and a lot of emotion. Snitker’s journey with the Braves is the stuff of baseball legend. Signed as a catcher in 1977, his playing career didn’t pan out, but Hank Aaron saw something in him and offered him a coaching job. From there, Snitker worked his way up, managing at nearly every level of the minors before taking over the big-league club in 2016. When he stepped in, the Braves were at rock bottom—the worst record in baseball. But under Snitker, they turned it around fast. Seven playoff appearances, six division titles, and a magical 2021 World Series win later, he’s cemented his legacy. Now, he’s looking forward to spending time with his family—his wife, Ronnie, their kids, and three grandkids. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Break: TRUCK A PALOOZA STORY 4: Cobb County feels early impacts of federal government shutdown Cobb County is already feeling the ripple effects of the government shutdown, which kicked off at midnight when Congress failed to pass a budget. No funding, no updates—just ask Dobbins Air Reserve Base, whose website now greets visitors with a blunt message: “Due to the government shutdown, this website is not being updated.” Calls to their public affairs team? Crickets. National parks like Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park are technically “closed,” but outdoor areas remain open. Bathrooms, though? Not so much. Visitors are being told to bring their own toilet paper—yes, really—and pack out their trash. Meanwhile, protesters from Indivisible Cobb gathered at Kennesaw Mountain, as they do every Wednesday, to advocate for park staff and future generations. Organizer Gail Von Gonten voiced concerns about unpaid workers and stalled maintenance. Statewide, the shutdown could impact over 110,000 federal workers in Georgia. While furloughed employees may qualify for unemployment benefits, they’ll have to repay those funds once back pay kicks in. It’s a mess, and for now, there’s no clear end in sight. STORY 5: Cherokee Heights Art Festival is Oct. 18 Mark your calendars—on Oct. 18, the 17th Annual Cherokee Heights Arts Festival is taking over Freyer Drive NE (between Etowah and Chicasaw Drives) in Marietta from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission? Free. Parking? Also free. This charming neighborhood, a 1924 National Historic Register gem just a mile from Marietta Square, started as a small, invite-only art show among neighbors. In 2009, they decided to take it outside—and open it to everyone. Now, it’s a one-day celebration featuring over 40 local artists and makers. Expect everything from paintings and pottery to jewelry, baked goods, and even original books. Two music “stages” will keep the vibe lively with free performances all day, and kids can get crafty at an art station hosted by the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art. Feeling hungry? Food and drinks will be available, and local nonprofits like CASA and MUST Ministries will also be there. For a sneak peek, check out the Cherokee Heights Arts Festival on Facebook or Instagram. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cereals We’ll have closing comments after this.

Send us a textBack when I was selling done-for-you funnels, ads, and launch plans, I could close a client in my sleep. Discovery calls were a breeze: I'd walk them through my strategy, they'd say yes, and we'd get started.But when I pivoted to coaching? Crickets.Even with a dozen free calls and solid experience, I couldn't sell a single coaching package. It was infuriating.If you've ever felt that way, this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: moving from selling services to selling strategy isn't just a business model change—it's a mindset shift. You're not just selling your hands anymore... you're selling your brain. And that requires a totally different kind of marketing, messaging, and confidence.In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what makes this transition so awkward and how to fix it. Whether you're pivoting to coaching, adding a course, or trying to sell a more leveraged offer, you'll walk away with a better understanding of how to position, message, and sell what's inside your head (and why it's worth premium pricing).What you'll learn:The invisible "double sell" keeping your coaching offers from convertingWhy free calls didn't work (and what did)How selling a vision is different from selling a deliverableMessaging mistakes that sabotage your strategy offersThree ways to shift your sales process for higher-ticket coachingWhat services still teach you about leveraged offers (and why you don't have to ditch them completely)Your Next Steps:Share this episode with a business bestie who's pivoting into coaching.DM me on Instagram (@theyaelbendahan) with your biggest takeaway.Apply for the CEO Mom Mastermind to take your business from stuck to scalable at www.yaelbendahan.com/mastermind.Timestamps:00:00 – The shift from selling your hands to selling your brain03:00 – Why selling coaching feels awkward (even when you're great at sales)08:00 – Coaching is selling belief—services are selling certainty13:00 – You don't have to ditch services to start coaching16:00 – 3 messaging shifts to sell coaching with more ease22:00 – How we build leveraged offers inside the mastermind26:00 – A pep talk and your next stepLINKS

Time to blowtorch the house?

You hang up from that Q&A call thinking you really connected with that person. They'd be so great to work with. You know you can help them. The conversation went great.And then it's crickets.They didn't give you an answer on the call. They said they'd think about it and get back to you. But then that person ghosted you or just fell off the face of the planet.Does this sound familiar? It's so frustrating, and you're really left wondering what went wrong. Why didn't they say yes? Did you miss something?This keeps coming up in our Facebook group and mastermind: coaches saying the exact same thing. They had this great Q&A call that got booked, but afterwards, nothing. The person just disappeared.What's actually happening here is that you're making two very common mistakes on these calls, and they're probably happening at the same time without you even realizing it. The first one is that you're accidentally coaching on the Q&A call. The second is that you're overselling or over explaining everything you can possibly do.It's very easy to fall into coaching mode when you genuinely want to understand what's been happening with someone and their money. Before you know it, you've given them half a dozen little suggestions along the way, and now they either feel like they have a list of things to try on their own, or they think coaching won't help because they've already tried everything you just suggested.Then there's the overselling part. You get excited about all the ways you can help, so you start talking about your budgeting system and getting clear on their vision and looking at spending and your three-month program and planning for their kids' college and financial independence. Talk about overwhelm.The thing is, by the time someone reaches out to a financial coach, they've usually already researched everything they can. They've likely been trying to overcome this challenge for years on their own. They're desperate to know if they can find help or not, and what they want is simple: to know that you can solve their problem.Your job on the Q&A call isn't to sell yourself or prove your value. It's to learn about what they're experiencing and clearly communicate yes or no, this is something you can help them with.Listen in to this week's episode and we'll give you the tools to do just that.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:Stop coaching on your Q&A calls. When you give suggestions and strategies, prospects either think they can handle it alone or that you can't help them since they've tried your ideas already.Your only job on a Q&A call is to answer one question: “Can I help solve this specific problem, yes or no?” Everything else is a distraction that confuses prospects and kills conversions.“I can absolutely help you with this” said twice beats explaining every service you offer. Validation and confidence convert better than comprehensive overviews.Keep Q&A calls to 15 minutes maximum. If it's taking longer, you're coaching, overselling, or not confidently leading the conversation.Schedule Q&A calls separately from coaching sessions and create mental barriers so you don't carry coaching energy into sales conversations.Financial coaching prospects want solutions, not coaching experiences. Unlike life coaching, they don't care about the process, just whether you can solve their money problem.“I need to think about it” means you overwhelmed them with information instead of clearly addressing their specific concern.

This week, we're joined by Luke, who put organic Instagram posting to the test to see if it could drive growth for fitness businesses. The results? Crickets. But when compared to paid ads, the difference was night and day. Luke shares his experience battling the algorithm, testing hooks and thumbnails, and ultimately learning why organic content is unreliable for client acquisition. More importantly, we uncover why paid ads give gym owners and online coaches the systematic control they need to grow fast. Key highlights of this episode include: ✅ Why organic posting is unreliable and unpredictable for growth. ✅ The algorithm myths that keep coaches chasing their tails. ✅ How to stop building your business on “hope marketing.” ✅ The systematic control paid ads give over leads and clients. ✅ Why Instagram should support—not drive—your business strategy.   You can check out FMA Demo, http://fmademo.co, to see how it all works.   If you enjoyed this video and want to find out more information, click this link to view our website: https://fitnessmarketing.agency/   WE HELP GYM OWNERS, PERSONAL TRAINERS AND COACHES GET MORE LEADS, SIGN NEW MEMBERS AND GROW THEIR BUSINESSES!   Visit our website to learn how we can help you grow your gym business: https://fitnessmarketing.agency/   Be sure to subscribe to learn how to successfully scale and grow your fitness business.   Where to follow FMA?  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitnessmarketingagency/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fitnessmarketingagency/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/fitnessmarketingagency/ Website: https://fitnessmarketing.agency/ Ben: https://www.instagram.com/mrbenjamindavis/ Charlie: https://www.instagram.com/charliehorton/ Luke: https://www.instagram.com/lukebrobinson_/   #fitness #marketing #gym #fitnessmarketingagency #gymowner #personaltrainer #fitnessbusiness

Speaking on stage sounds like a dream reserved for polished experts with massive followings, but what if you could actually make money and land clients from smaller, more intimate speaking gigs? Krista Martin is about to blow the lid off that myth and show you how everyday entrepreneurs can leverage speaking opportunities to grow their business. She's not talking about landing $10,000 keynote spots at massive conferences, but real, actionable strategies for getting in front of the right audiences and converting them into paying clients.  This episode is packed with practical tips on how to craft a talk that actually sells, build your confidence, and create speaking opportunities that don't require you to be a rockstar overnight. Whether you're terrified of public speaking or just looking to expand your business visibility, Krista's approach will make you realize that speaking success is way more accessible than you ever imagined.   What You'll Learn:  Why speaking on small stages can transform your business faster than you think. How one unexpected team member's departure led to Krista's most powerful event performance. The surprising strategy of turning a single speaking opportunity into multiple engagements. Why your "future self" energy matters more than perfectly scripted presentations. How to create a talk that activates audiences instead of just educating them. The counterintuitive approach to building client trust through strategic speaking. Why practicing in front of 10 people might be more valuable than chasing big keynotes.   Head to https://LeverageYourPodcastShow.com to read the blog >>>Stop leaving success to chance.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on the death of songwriter Sonny Curtis.

Ok—we are burning daylight—and we need to get rolling   Number One— The Feds finally cut interest rates—but it seems the markets were already planning on that happening—so its all baked in—hopefully it will help people get going again—   Number Two— A massive attack on law enforcement in Pennsylvania has left at 3 least 3 officers dead—and an unusual call for the Mexican Consulate in Philly to get involved—that indicates a clear direction for the investigation—   Number Three— The mainstream media and the Democrats' can't bring themselves to admit that there's a problem with left-wing political violence. Oh, they love to scream about "threats to democracy" when it suits their narrative, but when one of their own ideological foot soldiers pulls the trigger and kills a conservative—a world famous conservative on a college campus? Crickets. Or worse, outright lies. 

# Jimmy Kimmel's Indefinite Suspension: Late-Night Propaganda Exposed Edwards kicks off with unbridled glee over ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel following his mockery of President Trump's grief over Charlie Kirk's assassination. Playing the infamous clip where Kimmel compares Trump's Oval Office address—complete with breaking news fanfare and construction distractions—to a "4-year-old mourning a goldfish," Edwards blasts it as the final straw in Kimmel's decade of offensive rants. He recalls Kimmel's COVID-era jabs wishing death on unvaccinated people and denying them ER care, labeling him a "textbook cuck" and product of gaslighting leftists. Callers reminisce about Kimmel's cringeworthy past (blackface, misogyny) on *The Man Show*, arguing hypocrites like Kimmel and Howard Stern project their flaws onto conservatives. Edwards ties it to broader decay in late-night TV: once variety comedy for serotonin boosts before bed, now "anger addict outlets" peddling applause lines over laugh lines, turning viewers into rage-scrollers. #JimmyKimmelSuspended #LateNightFail #TrumpGrief #ABCScandal # Charlie Kirk Assassination: Narratives, Grief, and Leftist Hypocrisy At the episode's core, Edwards unpacks the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, refuting Kimmel's claim that the killer—a trans boyfriend with ANTIFA-scrawled bullets—fits the "MAGA gang." He mocks the left's desperation to politicize it, from White House half-staff flags drawing fire from Reddit/Twitch echo chambers to Trump's "4th stage of grief: construction" on a new White House ballroom. Edwards praises Kirk as a rare moderate willing to debate "demons," contrasting him with firebrands like himself who see Democrats as "lizard people and pedophiles." A dark twist: the elderly false confessor, George Zinn, charged with child porn possession after FBI phone scans—Edwards quips it's "no surprise" given his view of Democrats' underbelly. He laments the humanity gap: leftists weep over Kimmel's job loss but shrug at Kirk's life, family shattered. #CharlieKirkMurder #TrumpFlags #LeftistTears #PedophileScandal # Testosterone as the Ultimate Red Pill: Woke Weakness Weaponized In a fiery tangent, Edwards hails testosterone therapy as Democrats' "kryptonite"—a weekly hip injection turning liberals conservative by amplifying clarity and deterrence. He likens high-T men to unmasked COVID holdouts parting crowds like the Red Sea, warning it'll convert so many blue voters that it'll soon be outlawed. Playful yet pointed, he urges screenings to repel "vampire"-like leftists allergic to sunlight (or manhood). #TestosteroneRedPill #WokeKryptonite #LiberalConversion #ManUpMississippi # ANTIFA Terror Designation: Finally, the Left's Boogeyman Bites Back Edwards cheers Trump's Truth Social bombshell: designating ANTIFA a "major terrorist organization" and probing its funders. He contrasts it with the Southern Poverty Law Center's silence on ANTIFA (crickets in searches) versus endless hits on groups like Moms for Liberty. Recalling ANTIFA's "civil war" with Atlanta cops over a training facility—where an SPLC lawyer got arrested—Edwards calls it peak irony: the left's anti-fascist facade exposed as the real threat. #ANTIFATerrorist #TrumpWins #SPLCHypocrisy #AtlantaRiots # Delta State Suicide vs. Victimhood Fetish: Lynching Lies Debunked Edwards confronts backlash to his Vicksburg coverage (a Black parolee assaulting a clerk over gas prices), where commenters demanded Delta State focus: Trey Reed's tragic hanging ruled suicide via video and autopsy (no foul play). He slams the "oppression fetish"—Black users convinced of a white racist lynching band, ignoring high young male suicide rates amid porn addiction, homophobia, and dating woes. White liberals echo the fury, mad it's not a hate crime to fit narratives. Stats don't lie: no modern tree-hangings, just fudged urban violence reports. #DeltaStateSuicide #LynchingMyth #OppressionFetish #BlackVictimhood # Urban Black Culture Rot: The Talk White Parents Need Edwards rants on "Black Democrat death culture" gripping cities like Jackson, Memphis, and Baton Rouge—top U.S. danger zones per stats. He shares a preacher's viral clip urging Christian white parents to warn kids: avoid stranger crowds, as Black ones pose "30 times more danger" than white (facts over feelings). Anecdotes abound: chaperoning zoo trips dodging naked exhibitionists on Ellis Avenue; his "talk" with daughters on solo city risks; the Ukrainian train murder as hate crime ("I got that white b*"). He blasts "hood" possessiveness—rappers like DaBaby "checking in" on rented blocks they don't own—and double standards: JPD's old warning to women against nighttime solo travel. Black-on-Black silence? Crickets. #BlackCultureRot #TheTalk #UrbanViolence #SundownTowns

 On this episode of The Best of Jiminy Crickets, we revisit an episode from the summer of 2017...August 2017 -  This week, Chris and Ruthie bring you the third installment of the Jiminy Crickets 1964 New York World's Fair Summer Series. This time they will take an in depth look at what is perhaps the least remembered Disney pavilion at the Fair, the Ford Magic Skyway.  Chris and Ruth discuss the pavilion's planning design and construction, take an extensive tour of all the exhibits you would have found there, and then discuss the many ways that, in its aftermath, the Magic Skyway would go on to impact Walt Disney Imagineering for many decades to follow. Download (right click / save as)Visit our on-line store for exclusive Jiminy Crickets and DisneyChris Website Merch!!!!https://jcpodcast.threadless.com/If you would like to help support the Jiminy Crickets podcasts and DisneyChris.com - Please consider becoming a Patreon Subscriber and receive exclusive rewards every month.  https://www.patreon.com/c/DisneyChris

Our 2025 Music Series pays tribute to many of the legendary Disney animators and Imagineers, who were the creative geniuses behind many now beloved Disney animated classics and theme park attractions. Each episode will chronicle the career of the featured  artist's work for Walt Disney through the use of music to represent their many Disney career highlights. Episode six of our 2025 Music Series pays tribute to Disney Legend: Herbert Ryman. His career at Disney began in the early 40s in the field of animation.  By the mid 50's he became one of the key artistic minds behind the development of Disneyland, including the design of Sleeping Beauty castle itself. In later years he would continue lend his design talent to Disney parks in Florida, Japan and France.  Download (right click / save as)Visit our on-line store for exclusive Jiminy Crickets and DisneyChris Website Merch!!!! https://jcpodcast.threadless.com/If you would like to help support the Jiminy Crickets podcasts and DisneyChris.com - Please consider becoming a Patreon Subscriber and receive exclusive rewards every month.  https://www.patreon.com/c/DisneyChris

The real blocker usually isn't your product; it's confidence and not knowing what to say or where to say it. In this post, I'll show you two quick AI prompts that flip that script and give you the exact words and plan to promote—plus how to publish a ready-to-buy sales page with MiloTree's Free Plan in minutes (no website needed). Show Notes: MiloTree Confidence and Promotion AI Prompt Pack (Free Download) Digital Product Ladder AI Prompt (Free Download) 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Real Problem: “Who am I to sell this?” Most creators stall after hitting “publish” because they're afraid to promote. The result? Crickets—not because the product is bad, but because no one heard about it enough times to buy. The fix is a mindset + messaging shift you can trigger with AI in under a minute. The 60-Second Fix: Copy/Paste These 2 Prompts Prompt #1 — Confidence & Language Paste this into your AI tool: Act as my business coach and mindset mentor. I've created a digital product about [TOPIC] but I feel nervous promoting it. Remind me why my experience has value, explain how selling helps people, write me a confident script for talking about my product, and give me 5 places to share it today. Be encouraging but honest. This gives you: a quick reframe, a confidence boost, and a short script you can actually use in DMs, posts, and conversations. Prompt #2 — Distribution Plan (What to Post & Where) I'm ready to promote with confidence. Give me 10 places to share my product today with exact words for each platform (helpful, not salesy). Include social media, email ideas, and networking conversation starters. Also give me a simple 7-day promotion schedule. This turns “random posting” into a repeatable weekly cadence that compounds—how you go from your first $100 to your first $1,000. Make Buying Frictionless: Use MiloTree (Free Plan) Confidence is great—but people still need a place to buy. Here's the fast path with MiloTree: Set up your product in MiloTree → choose Digital Download. Name, price, and upload your PDF or file (e.g., “Time Management for Busy Moms” at $27). Click Create Sales Page → MiloTree's AI writes your sales copy for you. Get one shareable link you can paste everywhere (social, email, DMs). Payments go to you via Stripe; MiloTree auto-delivers the file to customers. Why creators love this workflow No website or tech stack required AI-written sales page (goodbye blank page) Auto-delivery + instant payments Share one link everywhere and focus on consistent promotion

Ever feel like you're doing everything right…and STILL not getting the results you want? I'm talkin' late nights. Early mornings. Grinding harder. Stacking to-do lists like trophies. And yet…the outcomes? Crickets. If you're anything like me — or the elite athletes and executives I help — you've been trained to fix that by doing what you've always done: Push. Even. Harder. Why? Because that's what we were taught as athletes… Perform. Produce. PROVE your worth. But what if I told you striving might be your default...but it's TRUST that gives you your real performance upgrade? The real truth: constantly grinding isn't grit — it's a coping mechanism. And all that stress you're pushing through? It's hijacking your brain, killing your clarity, and quietly sabotaging your peak state. That's why this week's 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show is one you can't afford to miss.  In this episode, you'll hear: Why working harder when you're already maxed out could be the very thing blocking your breakthrough The neuroscience behind how performance pressure hijacks your brain and kills clarity A biblical strategy to shift from striving to trusting — without sacrificing your drive How Ezekiel's obedience in a valley of dry bones reveals the secret to supernatural momentum A 3-step Drill to reset when your grind isn't producing results How grace-based effort becomes your competitive edge when rooted in trust, not hustle Key Quotes “This Drill isn't about doing nothing…it's about doing the right thing — partnering with God's power instead of forcing results in your own power.” - J.R. “Working even harder when you're already busting your tail often has diminishing returns…it often leads to worse results — because the stress in your system is hijacking your brain.” - J.R. “God's grace doesn't eliminate your discipline. It energizes it with more of HIS power.” - J.R. “Stop carrying what only God was built to hold.” - J.R.

Your health and wellness is too important to just blindly follow the 'science'.   You must use observation, real world experience and intuition to find out what works for you.   The science has been laid out for us when it comes to health, yet we are over 50% obesity as a population.   Science tells you it's all about calories in and calories out, yet that fails 99% of the time.  Where is the 'science' when it comes to the results?  Crickets.   Did you ever stop to think about who is funding the studies? Usually, the more highly educated in the formal sense a person is, the more indoctrinated they and they don't even realize it.  They are parrots, repeating what was told to them and you're damned if you don't believe them or if you ask them a question.   Keep an open mind, empty your cup and remember, belief is enemy of knowing.     Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - My 5 Week Busy Moms Challenge begins in less than a week.  If you or someone you know has been struggling and failing with the mainstream science in fitness, health and nutrition, then you are not going to want to miss this opportunity!
