CardioNerds (Dr. Rick Ferraro and Dr. Dan Ambinder) join Dr. Sahar Samimi and Dr. Lorraine Mascarenhas from Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, at the Houston Rodeo for some tasty Texas BBQ and a tour of the lively rodeo grounds to discuss an interesting case full of clinical pearls involving a patient with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Basant Arya. Episode audio was edited by CardioNerds Intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. (Photo by Xu Jianmei/Xinhua via Getty Images)Xinhua News Agency via Getty Images We discuss a case of a 38-year-old woman with advanced endometrial cancer who presents with acute abdominal pain, found to have splenic and renal infarcts, severe aortic regurgitation, and persistently negative blood cultures, ultimately diagnosed with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). We review the definition and pathophysiology of NBTE in the context of malignancy and hypercoagulability, discuss initial evaluation and echocardiographic findings, and highlight important management considerations. Emphasis is placed on the complexities of anticoagulation choice, the role of valvular surveillance, and the need for coordinated, multidisciplinary care.

Pearls- Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Eliminate the Usual Suspects. NBTE is a diagnosis of exclusion! Always rule out infective endocarditis (IE) first with serial blood cultures and serologic tests. More than Meets the Echo. Distinguishing NBTE from culture-negative endocarditis can be tricky. Look beyond the echo—focus on clinical context (underlying malignancy, autoimmune issues) and lab findings to clinch the diagnosis. TEE for the Win... Mostly. While TEE is more sensitive than TTE, NBTE vegetations can be sneaky and may embolize quickly. Don't hesitate to use advanced imaging (i.e., cardiac MRI, CTA) or repeat imaging if you still suspect NBTE. Choose your champion. In cancer-associated NBTE, guideline recommendations for anticoagulation choice are lacking. Consider DOACs and LMWH as agents of choice, but ultimately use shared decision-making to guide management. No obvious trigger? Go hunting for hidden malignancies or autoimmune disorders. A thorough workup is essential to uncover the driving force behind NBTE. Check out this state-of-the-art review for a comprehensive, one-stop summary of NBTE: European Heart Journal, 46(3), 236–245. Please note that the figures and tables referenced in the following notes are adapted from this review. notes- Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Notes were drafted by Dr. Sahar Samimi. What is nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE)? NBTE, previously known as marantic endocarditis, is a rare condition in which sterile vegetations form on heart valves.1 It occurs most commonly in association with malignancies and autoimmune conditions (i.e, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or systemic lupus erythematosus).1 In addition, NBTE has been reported in association with COVID-19 infection, burns, sepsis, and indwelling catheters.2 Precise mechanisms remain unclear, but an interplay of endothelial injury, hypercoagulability, hypoxia, and immune complex deposition contributes to the formation of these sterile vegetations. 1 How do we diagnose NBTE? Physicians should have a high level of suspicion for NBTE in at-risk patients (e.g., with active malignancy) who present with recent or recurrent embolic events (i.e., stroke, splenic, renal, or mesenteric infarct, and acute coronary syndrome).1

Both podcast hosts and guests struggle to get listeners to take action after listening to episodes. This is because the call to action (CTA) is often unclear, scattered, or too complex.

We tackle the big question: Is happiness a treasure hunt or a DIY project? We unravel the myth that joy is hidden in a six-pack, a bulging bank account, or a corner office. Instead, we suggest that true happiness might just be in finding meaning, purpose, and maybe even in that last piece of chocolate cake. We talk about the fact that life is a mixed bag of emotions, and the secret to happiness might just be in strong relationships and a dash of gratitude. Plus, we share some practical tips like practicing mindfulness—because who doesn't need a little zen in their life?Products Mentioned: Good Molecules - Discoloration Correcting Serum0:32 - CTA review5:27 - Things we love7:16 - Chasing Happiness32:43 - New Call-to-Action

Hello to you listening in Gondomar, Galicia, Spain!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I am often asked how to begin the next story chapter of life when there's no clear path ahead. In truth, we really don't see the path so much as we make the path while walking it.But that might be little comfort in the beginning when you're standing at the crossroads.In my experience choosing a direction and setting out with curiosity and determination - taking that first step - perhaps the one we don't want to take - is the key that opens the way ahead.Following are several visionary questions for you. Choose the one that speaks to where you are right now and invite it to walk along with you like friends on a trail: 1. What story are you meant to tell that only you living your life with your wisdom and your experiences could tell?2. Imagine you're looking back at yourself as an elder woman - content, satisfied, knowing you got it right. What would you say made it all worthwhile?3. What delighted you, intrigued you, fed your curiosity when you were younger than you are now? 4. Who were you before you learned you were supposed to worry that money doesn't grow on trees?Sometimes the most powerful questions are the ones that help us discover who we really are beneath all the "shoulds" and practical concerns. Reconnecting with your truest self after years of layered expectations and external pressures comes from trusting what you know rather than adding more information or strategies.CTA: If you're curious about how to stop trying to figure it all out and start honoring what you already know, email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net to arrange a free Discovery Call with me, your story doula. And thank you for listening!You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Phillipa Games, has spent more than 25 years swimming in the deep end of digital strategy and analytics. With experience across nearly 500 clients and websites that have brought in hundreds of millions of dollars, Phillipa has seen it all from the good, to the bad, and the wildly overlooked. In this conversation, we peeled back the curtain on website analytics, not the overwhelming, chart-filled dashboard version, but the real, human-centered data that tells the story of what your customers are doing (and not doing) on your site. If you who would rather schedule a root canal than log into Google Analytics, this episode is your guide to looking at just the data that matters and learning to use it to make smarter decisions. Key Discussion Points: Why most business owners avoid their analytics dashboards (and why that's a mistake) What to track first — hint: it's not bounce rate The real value in knowing if anyone actually sees your call-to-action Why long, scrolling pages might be quietly killing your conversions How your internal site search can reveal new service and product opportunities Actionable Takeaways: Start with your business goals, not your metrics. Analytics are only helpful if you know what you're trying to achieve. Define what success looks like before diving into data. Every page needs a call to action. Don't leave visitors guessing. Tell them what the next step is — and test different formats and placements to see what works. Don't bury your offer Long pages may look modern, but if your CTA is stuck at the bottom, many visitors will never see it. Move it up the page, and repeat it on the bottom. Use internal search as market research. The words people type into your site's search box can reveal what they expect you to offer — and what you might consider offering next. Watch where they drop off. If your audience isn't finishing your videos or podcast episodes, take a hard look at how you open. You may be losing them in the first 15 seconds.
Andrew Beer and Tom Wroble return to join Niels Kaastrup-Larsen for a timely examination of how trend following is adapting, and why some say it may be losing its edge. Tom unpacks new research showing a quiet drift toward slower models, raising the question of whether CTAs are evolving or converging. Andrew pushes back on the prevailing wisdom around diversification, suggesting that complexity often obscures cost rather than delivering true value. From shifting model speeds to the incentives shaping manager behavior, this is a conversation about what trend following is becoming... and what investors risk overlooking as some strategies grow more complex in pursuit of outperformance.-----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 Andrew on Twitter.Follow Tom on LinkedIn,Episode TimeStamps: 01:52 - What has caught our attention recently?06:11 - Industry performance update07:44 - Wrobel's perspective on the current CTA environment09:32 - Key findings from Wrobel's recent paper14:51 - The shape is key for managing risk17:26 - How changes in the underlying managers affect replication strategies22:10 - Is there such a thing as a happy "medium" in trading speed?28:09 - Are replication strategies less challenged when selecting markets?33:35 - The structure of an allocator36:12 - How much tracking error is acceptable in replication?42:14...

Ever wonder why some podcasters get zero results from their content… while others effortlessly turn listeners into paying customers? This one thing increases your chances significantly! Today we sit down with the legendary Alex Sanfilippo to crack the code on podcast calls-to-action that actually convert. This session was streamed during Podcasting Made simple (a Podmatch event) in front of more than 1,000 people and the feedback was incredible! We are very grateful that Alex and their team are letting us share this private episode :) We're pulling back the curtain on: - The “Six Steps” that make ANY CTA irresistible (not just for podcasts!) - Wild case studies and real-life mistakes most hosts and guests make (and how to avoid them) - The power of keeping it simple, specific, AND sticky - The surprising thing you should NOT ask for at the end of your episode - Why Fonzi believes “short and sticky” wins every time (and what on earth Taylor Swift has to do with podcasting…) Whether you're struggling to convert listeners or just want to refine your strategy, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you drive traffic, grow your audience, and monetize your content effectively! Enjoy! Timestamped Overview: [00:00] Alex intros the special PodMatch Event and sets the stage for discussing powerful podcast CTAs. [02:30] Luis & Fonzi join in — sharing background on how this framework was developed and why most CTAs fail. [04:30] Why “no results” from podcasting usually isn't a content problem — it's a CTA problem. [06:10] Step 0: Develop Know, Like & Trust on the episode — give away real value, don't hold back. [10:15] Step 1: Keep your CTA singular — don't overwhelm your listeners with too many options. [11:35] Step 2: Make it relevant — your CTA must match the content of the episode. [13:40] Step 3: Ensure it's evergreen — so it doesn't expire or confuse future listeners. [17:05] Step 4: Keep it simple to understand — clarity > cleverness. Use “It's like…” analogies. [20:30] Step 5: Make it easy to follow — sticky domains, memorable URLs, or SMS options. [23:55] Test creative ideas: surprise CTAs at the end of episodes, gamification, secret codes. [25:00] Sticky examples: funny URLs, dynamic insertion intros, and Taylor Swift-style rollouts (!). [27:20] Step 6: CTA destination should add value immediately — don't gate everything behind an opt-in. [30:45] Optimize the experience post-CTA: what happens after someone clicks matters. [33:30] Every CTA should reflect your business stage and goals — make it strategic. [34:10] The Biz Bros share details on launching their new community: BusinessCreator.Club.

In this episode, Jack and Jeremy break down an especially long and highly personalized cold email that made its way through the noise—though not without some controversy. They explore what worked, what went too far, and how AI-driven outreach can either charm or alarm your prospects. Key topics discussed: - The use of deeply personal references in cold emails—and where it crosses the line. - Why referencing hobbies, spouses, and old clients might not earn you points. - The difference between relevance and overpersonalization in outreach. - How AI-generated emails reveal themselves with subtle formatting cues. - Alternative, clearer messaging strategies that could've made the same email more effective. - The importance of a focused CTA and the power of a “trial as a gift” offer. - Predictions for the future of first-line personalization and AI's evolving role in cold outreach. Less is often more when it comes to personalization. A simple, relevant message that's respectful of boundaries often beats a complex AI-generated pitch loaded with unnecessary personal trivia.

In this week's episode of the Flux News Show, Greg Newman, Harry Campion-Evans, and Mita Chaturvedi break down why middle distillates like diesel are defying the trend and driving oil markets. They dive deep into the distillates rally, unpacking how chronically low stocks, disjointed refining activity, and CTA-led momentum flipped what looked like a stop-out into a full-blown bull run.Meanwhile, soaring diesel-led margins and rare summer tightness in the physical market are reshaping the narrative on cracks and spreads — and few saw it coming.The team also touches on new hedge fund launches, the shifting macro backdrop around US–EU trade tensions, and the latest on the Murban pricing saga, as PLATTS faces scrutiny over a controversial methodology tweak.In the Crystal Ball, Greg, Harry, and Mita debate whether the distillate tightness is here to stay - and what it means for Brent, refinery utilization, and product flows heading into peak demand season.

If I were selling a program & had days left to fill the room here's exactly what I'd do:1. Drop a face-to-camera reel TODAY. Hook hard with authority in the first 3 seconds. Overlay a comment keyword on screen. Tell them exactly why they need to be inside now. Post on your grid, repost it again hidden from your profile, run it through trial reels, pin the same hook on Threads with a link, repurpose for TikTok, then take the caption and slice it into an email.2. Repurpose your best story sequence. Use it to build:

Katy Kaminski returns to examine a moment in trend following that feels familiar... but isn't. Drawing on new research, she and Niels explore how drawdowns resolve, why recovery is faster when markets break, and slower when they don't, and what that asymmetry reveals about the current cycle. They unpack copper's historic 1-day move, the role of China in CTA return dispersion, and what slower, replication-based strategies might be capturing that others aren't.

After losing his first fortune to a Ponzi scheme in his late twenties, Brandon Kraupp didn't lick his wounds—he grabbed a clipboard. Today, his Utah-based Romex Pest Control spans four states, fields nearly two hundred teammates, and runs on an EOS-powered culture that blends door-knock grit with relentless data-tracking. Brandon sits down with the Blue-Collar Twins to share how maxed-out 0 % credit cards and a “just make more tomorrow” mindset turned a single truck into a regional platform. You'll hear: FBI Wake-Up Call – why losing everything crystallized a fearless approach to risk and growth.Door-Knock Science – mastering 55-plus communities and turning authenticity into daily deals.Data over Drama – using market analytics, WiseTack financing, and EOS scorecards to steer every expansion.Culture Moat – six core values, weekly L10s, and therapist-mediated exec meetings that keep 180 people rowing.Next Moves – an aggressive Texas build-out, acquisition targets on the Gulf Coast, and AI sliding into every SOP. Stick around for Brandon's take on “stealth-wealth” margins and a quick CTA to Paul Giannamore's Private-Equity Masterclass playlist—then audit the numbers that actually move your own scoreboard.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why some home service companies thrive while others struggle despite similar services and prices? The secret lies in something deceptively simple yet profoundly powerful: brand reputation.In this eye-opening episode, Crystal breaks down why brand reputation consistently outperforms quick-win marketing tactics for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and pest control companies. She shares her firsthand experience working with family businesses in these industries and reveals the crucial mindset shift needed to build lasting success."Dig your well before you're thirsty" becomes the rallying cry for service companies who understand that customers make emotional, not logical decisions during emergencies. When water is flooding the house or the AC dies during a heatwave, homeowners don't methodically research fifteen companies—they call the one name they trust.Crystal provides a practical three-part framework for building this trust: crafting an authentic, unique brand that resonates emotionally; being present in your community before customers need you; and ensuring your customer experience matches your brand promise. Through colorful examples and tough-love advice, she illustrates how seemingly small details—from truck appearance to CSR phone manner—either reinforce or undermine your brand's foundation.The episode challenges service company owners to look beyond metrics like CTR and CTA to focus first on creating a memorable brand experience. As Crystal bluntly puts it, "Most of y'all, you ain't even got a cake. You're icing like my little kids do when I volunteer in church."Whether you're just starting your service company or looking to elevate an established business, this episode provides both the strategic vision and tactical steps to build a brand that customers instinctively turn to when emergencies strike.

This week we tried to arrange a VIP brand event for Call To Action® fans in an abandoned toilet brush factory, all just to prove our cool credentials to Charlie Copsey, the founder of Underground Fan Club. Having conquered the media mountain earlier in her career – working in TV, radio and film with the likes of Johnny Vaughan and her good pal Colin Murray – Charlie realised that her next great mission would be to rescue fan experiences from the desperately dull doldrums they were in at the time. From there Underground Fan Club was born – a studio devoted to producing more memorable, more believable and more exciting experiences between brands, fans and talent. At the heart of the mission is something many marketers bang on about with no clue, or care, about what it means in reality – authentic connections with your most valuable audience, something Charlie is already proving to be much more than the same old brand baloney. There's an increasingly long line of brands queuing up for the Underground treatment but luckily for your ears and brains, CTA is nothing if not a queue jumper. In an episode that's all about fans, super-fans, stan-fans and ceiling fans (not that one) we learn what it takes for your brand to actually mean something more to the people you're doing it all for. This episode is proudly dedicated to Colin Murray. ///// 04:09 - Studying Drama at Loughborough 10:12 - Working with Johnny Vaughan 12:28 - The Evolution of Fighting Talk and Live Events 16:38 - Identifying the Gap: Connecting Talent and Fans 17:52 - Building Underground Fan Club: The First Event 20:32 - The Importance of Authentic Experiences 22:21 - Navigating Brand Partnerships 26:13 - Finding the Right Brand Partners 28:05 - Balancing Involvement in Events 32:29 - The Challenges of Running a Business Charlie's Book Recommendations are: Careless People - Sarah Wynn-Williams Shoe Dog – Phil Knight Losing my Virginity – Richard Branson /////
