Podcasts about Crowded

What began in 2007 as a hi-res music download store has grown into a vital platform for global music fans eager for a human-curated, high-quality listening experience. Qobuz has had a massive 2025, which saw them peak at #4 on the iOS App Store thanks in part to viral posts calling out their 24-bit hi-res streaming & download offerings and editorial team-led recommendations. This month, we talk to Qobuz's Managing Director, Dan Mackta about the company's history & recent success, how the Qobuz experience is akin to shopping for music at your local record store, the many ways it differentiates from the top DSPs of the day, and more!

Show Notes:In this high-impact episode, Matt Zaun sits down with Tom Schwab, Chief Evangelist Officer & Founder of Interview Valet, to unpack how leaders can use podcast interview marketing to beat obscurity, earn trust at scale, and convert ideal clients, and how to repurpose one 45-minute conversation into a month of authoritative content.In this episode, they cover:✅ Obscurity is the real enemy — Why trusted conversations (not more funnels) drive the best partners, clients, and hires✅ “Crowded space”? Good. — Most shows are inactive; focus on the active, right-fit podcasts your ideal buyers already follow✅ Leader-as-evangelist — Your CEO's personal audience is ~10× the brand's; don't abdicate storytelling—lead it✅ Quality over quantity — Don't “create crap at scale.” Clarity, stories, and specificity beat generic content every time...and much more!BIOS:Tom Schwab is the Chief Evangelist Officer & Founder of Interview Valet, the category leader in podcast interview marketing.

The weekly Sunday morning sermon delivered by Rev. James WilesPart of the “Shopping For A Savior” seriesLuke 2:8-15 “And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.””1.

The Huskies are 9-1 ahead of their final non-conference game. They've racked up four wins over ranked opponents, representing some of the top squads in the nation, with their lone loss coming by four points to the No. 1 team in the country at home, with two key players out.Those two players are back, or close, and we're just starting to see what this Husky team can be. Their stars led the way over the Gators in MSG on Tuesday night, while new guys like Braylon Mullins, Eric Reibe, and Malachi Smith showed off what they bring to the table.It's an exciting prospect to know that Dan Hurley has the Huskies rolling once again. This year, though, the competition around the country may be deeper at the top.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver felt out of place in a gym built for someone else's goals? We open with a candid check-in and a plan to test-drive a large, crowded facility, using that moment to explore how fitness spaces shape motivation, identity, and what “works” as our bodies and priorities change. That honest uncertainty becomes a throughline for everything that follows: curiosity, doubt, and the quiet work of choosing what fits.We shift to the renewed search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and break down the details with fresh eyes: Ocean Infinity's “no find, no fee” contract, the 55-day intermittent window, and why a new 5,800-square-mile zone matters after a decade of unanswered questions. The real story here is human—families seeking closure, the limits of technology against vast ocean topography, and the stubborn hope that evidence still waits below. It's a sober look at how complex investigations evolve, why debris patterns influence search maps, and what success would mean after eleven years of grief and speculation.From there, the spotlight turns surprisingly personal: the story behind Wendy's name and the pressure it placed on Wendy Thomas Morse. We unpack the branding genius of a recognizable face and the unintended weight of living as a mascot. Dave Thomas's late-in-life apology adds a poignant layer, reminding us that legacy marketing isn't only about logos and taglines; it's about people navigating expectations and identity in public view. Then we examine research on aging and recovery, reflecting on the idea that around age 75 our bodies rebound more slowly from illness and injury. We talk functional fitness, practical training choices, and why adapting workouts matters more than chasing numbers on a barbell.We close with a holiday moment that ties it all together: a child's beloved walnut-shell ornament, long lost but never forgotten.

Turning 5 million social media followers into real revenue, syndicating content strategically across platforms, and prioritizing Facebook with Lexi Harrison from Crowded Kitchen. ------ Welcome to episode 547 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Lexi Harrison from Crowded Kitchen. Inside Crowded Kitchen's Strategy for Growing to 2.4 Million Followers on Facebook Lexi Harrison and her mom first started sharing food content on Instagram back in 2015 — and what began as a fun creative outlet has now turned into a thriving, multi-platform business with over 5 million followers across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. In this episode, Lexi shares how they strategically grew their audience, refined their content approach, and learned to make social media work for their business. You'll hear how they navigated major shifts in priorities, why they overhauled their content strategy, and what happened when they decided to take Facebook seriously. If you've ever wondered how to build momentum on social media — or how to balance growth and monetization — you won't want to miss this one! Three episode takeaways: The benefits of prioritizing social media growth — For Crowded Kitchen, focusing on building their social media following has paid off significantly. Their social media traffic now surpasses their organic website traffic, and they're earning $4,000–$6,000 per week through the Facebook Monetization Program. On top of that, their larger audience has allowed them to secure higher-paying brand partnerships and even land a cookbook deal — clear proof that investing time and effort into social growth can yield major returns. How they use recipe series to drive engagement and new followers — Lexi shares more about their use of series like the "better than storebought" series they ran on social media in early 2024 that helped them grow from 30,000 followers in April of 2024 to over 2.4 million followers on Facebook now. Lexi explains the formula they use for the series, and tips for increasing new follower sign-ups. How they syndicate and recycle content strategically across platforms — With only 200 short-form videos to work with, Lexi explains their content posting schedule, their reposting strategy, and how they recycle content to reduce the workload and allow for time off (like for her maternity leave).

Following the latest earnings results from Li Auto (LI), Olivier Blanchard examines the Chinese automaker's competitive outlook. The company missed on its 3Q EPS as revenue came in just above expectations. He says the premium-EV demand outlook in China is good, but suggests it is an overcrowded area for auto brands. "We don't need 4," Olivier adds. He is looking to a normalization in forward orders for Li Auto, saying it could take a few quarters for the company to "crawl out of this."======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Most near-death experiencers see the light. Steve Kang went the other direction."There were demons everywhere. Three-to-four stories tall with capes and weapons. I knew they were in charge of this place called hell."Raised Buddhist, dedicated to becoming a monk, praying eight hours daily—Steve had his spiritual life figured out. Then a laced drug at a party kept him awake for ten straight days. Buddhist artifacts started making poltergeist noises. A voice claiming to be his god offered a deal: kill yourself for a better afterlife. So he did.During surgery after his suicide attempt, Steve landed in a place Buddhists don't believe exists: hell. Crowded. Dark with no sun. A purplish-red wasteland with massive demons and torture cages. And the certain knowledge: "I'm going to be here forever." But that wasn't the end of the story. As he was fighting for his life and experiencing the realities of hell, eight Christian ministers showed up to pray for a Buddhist kid they'd never met. In those moments, Steve shares how Jesus appeared to him in hell, offering love and rescue when he least deserved it. In this unbelievable story of salvation and redemption, Steve gets a second chance at life. His encounter became the turning point that not only saved him from death but also transformed his entire understanding of God, salvation, and purpose. Today, Steve shares his story as a testament to the reality of the afterlife and the radical love that pursues us even in our darkest moments.

To a sales leader, it's a familiar story. Month one: Your new SDR is on fire. Energy through the roof. They're excited about cold calling. Month two: Still strong. Meetings are getting booked. Dashboard looks good. Month three: Cracks appear. Rejections pile up. But they hang in. Month four: Burnout. The dials drop. The energy's gone. That superstar you hired 90 days ago is updating their LinkedIn profile—and you know exactly what that means. Now you're back in hiring mode, your team's pipeline is slipping, and your recruiting budget just took another hit. But it's not that the SDR role is broken—the system is. Sales teams are great at starting fast and terrible at sustaining it. People get thrown in with a script and a quota, celebrate quick wins, then act surprised when burnout becomes inevitable. Tim Hester, VP of Sales Development at Alliance HCM, leads one of the fastest-promoting SDR teams in the industry. His team survives month four and keeps thriving. Some SDRs promote out in 60 days. Others stay because they're growing, not just grinding. It's a tactical framework that stops inefficiency. The Problem: You're Forcing SDRs to Run Without a Finish Line When Tim inherited his SDR team, he saw the pattern immediately. One SDR position. No progression. No momentum. Just grind. Talented people hit quota, kept hitting quota, and then started asking themselves: Why am I still doing the exact same job six months later? “Just wait your turn” doesn't cut it anymore. Maybe it never did. The wake-up call came when Tim realized something critical: The things that kill SDR motivation aren't trainable. Work ethic. Mindset. How someone approaches their day and prospecting blocks. That's character. You can't coach it in a workshop. Tim tried way too many times before figuring that out. You can teach someone objection handling. You can show them how to use the CRM. But if there's no light at the end of the tunnel, no amount of training fixes that. That's on leadership, not the rep. The Solution: Build a Roadmap That Rewards Performance, Not Tenure Tim flipped the script on how SDR performance gets measured and rewarded. He created tiered SDR levels based purely on performance thresholds. Not tenure. Not politics. Not “when a spot opens up.” The roadmap has clear levels: from new SDR to quota-hitting SDR to exceeding SDR who now trains the team. Each level comes with a comp bump and more responsibility. Most importantly, it proves effort matters. This framework ensures that when your reps look at the dashboard, they see a clear, actionable path for progression. It's the sales leader's job to ensure that dashboard clarity is tied directly to the next level. The impact is immediate. Reps see exactly what they need to level up. There's no waiting for someone to quit so that a spot opens. Those who want to move fast can; those who need more time have a clear path, too. This framework changed recruiting entirely. Tim could tell candidates on day one: People move up at their own rate; you control your trajectory at this company. Suddenly, the SDR role wasn't a holding pattern. It was a launchpad. The Dashboard: Four Metrics That Actually Matter Metrics are your scoreboard. If your reps don't trust the score, they stop playing hard. When Tim took over, the dashboard was a mess. Crowded with metrics nobody understood or trusted. Reps tuned it out because they didn't know what half the numbers meant or how they connected to their success. Tim stripped it down to four metrics: Dials – Shows effort and how they're working the database. Everyone can pick up the phone. Connections – Only counts conversations with decision-makers. Not gatekeepers. Not assistants. This shows outreach quality. Meetings Scheduled – The conversion from connection to meeting. This is where you see who's actually selling. Meetings Ran – If they don't show up, what's the point? For Tim,

Poten & Partners' Jason Feer, global head of business intelligence, joins NGI's Jamison Cocklin, managing editor of LNG, to discuss how the rapid North American LNG export growth could slow down projects still in the development phase. They explore whether potential project delays could slow an expected LNG supply glut later in the decade, as well as how long oversupply could affect the natural gas market. Cocklin and Feer also discuss implications of the supply glut on U.S. natural gas prices and on global benchmarks, and how foreign offtakers could react to shifting prices. In the wake of six LNG projects having reached final investment decisions in 2025, they also delve into the viability of financing additional projects.

In Crowded Out: The True Costs of Crowdfunding Healthcare (MIT Press, 2024), Dr. Nora Kenworthy presents an eye-opening investigation into charitable crowdfunding for healthcare in the United States—and the consequences of allowing healthcare access to be decided by the digital crowd. Over the past decade, charitable crowdfunding has exploded in popularity across the globe. Sites such as GoFundMe, which now boasts a “global community of over 100 million” users, have transformed the ways we seek and offer help. When faced with crises—especially medical ones—Americans are turning to online platforms that promise to connect them to the charity of the crowd. What does this new phenomenon reveal about the changing ways we seek and provide healthcare? In Crowded Out, Dr. Kenworthy examines how charitable crowdfunding so quickly overtook public life, where it is taking us, and who gets left behind by this new platformed economy.Although crowdfunding has become ubiquitous in our lives, it is often misunderstood: rather than a friendly free market “powered by the kindness” of strangers, crowdfunding is powerfully reinforcing inequalities and changing the way Americans think about and access healthcare. Drawing on extensive research and rich storytelling, Crowded Out demonstrates how crowdfunding for health is fueled by—and further reinforces—financial and moral “toxicities” in market-based healthcare systems. It offers a unique and distressing look beneath the surface of some of the most popular charitable platforms and helps to foster thoughtful discussions of how we can better respond to healthcare crises both small and large. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love welcomes brand strategist Cheri Quinn, Director of Brand Strategy at Mercury Creative Group, to discuss “Finding Focus in a Crowded Space.” Cheri explains that today's marketplace is more crowded than ever—not just because of competition, but because clients are constantly flooded with information. To cut through the noise, professionals must clearly define their primary audience—the people they serve best—and communicate with authenticity and focus. Cheri shares her “dartboard” analogy for targeting ideal clients: those in the bullseye deliver the greatest results, while trying to appeal to everyone leads to “missing the mark.” She walks listeners through exercises to identify their favorite clients, understand their motivations, communication styles, and values, and align their firm's brand strategy accordingly. By clarifying audience, message, and brand alignment, professionals can stand out in a crowded market and attract the right opportunities.

Send us a textEver feel like your topic is taken, your niche is crowded, and your draft adds nothing new? Let's flip that script. We walk through five clear reasons your words matter now—starting with a reframing that changes everything: writing is a conversation, not a competition. When you see books and essays as flavors, not trophies, the goal shifts from being the only voice to bringing your unique taste to the table. That shift opens the door to momentum, courage, and better work.We dig into how individual experience and style shape meaning for different readers. Crowded genres signal demand, not futility. Some people will learn from you because of your cadence, stories, and lens—and not from the biggest names in the field. We also talk about the cultural role of writers as torchbearers who keep ideas alive by renewing them for the present. Retellings, reframings, and updates aren't duplicates; they are bridges that carry wisdom forward.Then we get tactical. You'll hear a practical system for starting small and iterating with less fear: test chapters, micro-shares, talks, proposals, and structured feedback loops. We cover “fail early, fail often” as a learning engine, plus the mindset tools that sustain you—resilience for the tough comments and a growth mindset that treats every draft as a step toward a clearer voice. By the end, you'll have both the why and the how to publish with purpose, find your readers, and keep going when the noise gets loud.If this resonates, follow the show, leave a quick review to help other writers find it, and share this episode with a friend who needs a nudge to hit publish.We're excited to announce the launch of our new website: 12weekyearforwriters.comTo celebrate, you can join the 12 Week Year Writers membership for 50% off the first three months.ABOUT TREVOR THRALL & THE 12 WEEK YEAR FOR WRITERS Subscribe to get our free Quick Start Guide at 12weekyearforwriters.com Join our community at 12weekyearforwriters.com/membership Register for a live workshop at 12weekyearforwriters.com/events Connect with Trevor on Linked In My team and I help writers get their writing done. If you're stuck, it's not a knowledge problem. It's not a skill issue. And it's not a motivation or willpower thing. You know what you need to do and how to do it. The problem is consistent execution: getting the writing done week in and week out. With the 12 Week Year for Writers system, you'll create a routine that helps you write more, and more happily, than ever before. Thanks for listening!

Send us a textTwo factions of the Lusi clan, clashed in the North End the night before the shooting. A long simmering beef, pertaining to drug profits and neighborhood respect, came to a head inside a nintey-nine restaurant, at lunch time in Charlestown, Ma. Robert Lusi was known in the North End as a bully, however he was a made member of the mafia. He liked to use knives and threaten people. He was seen as a braggart and attention seeking gangster. His son Roman may have been worse, it had been said that Roman was a killer and he would kill for the smallest reason. This crew was battling with another crew, led by Bobby Lusi, Robert's other son. Bobby was also a capo in the mob, but with another family. This issue came to a head inside the pub. Five would be shot, four would not survive.

In this mini episode, Taylor Alison discusses the sensation of feeling like you're going to pass out in crowded places, explaining it's often due to overstimulation and the body's fight-or-flight response. She emphasizes the importance of staying in these situations to teach the mind there's nothing to fear, and highlights the role of exposure and response prevention (ERP) specialists in managing such anxieties. Don't forget to rate and review The Chicks!
