Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Running Point. This week, two brothers are entirely absent, but the other two are uncomfortably close, as Ness camps out at Sandy's pristine (clearly child-free) home. Meanwhile, Isla's usual "flip the script, come out on top" plan doesn't come together by the end of the episode. Mentioned: Korean dol ceremony and Brian Grubb's "Customer Reviews of the White Lotus Family of Resorts."Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 1, episode 5, "Beshert." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.This episode was recorded before a live studio audience ... of dogs.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Dr. Anthony Mazzella, a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, to break down the complexities of toxic narcissistic relationships. From love bombing and devaluation to trauma bonding and the psychology behind both the narcissist and their partner, this conversation is filled with eye-opening insights. If you've ever wondered why you feel stuck in a toxic relationship, or how to break free from unhealthy patterns, this episode is a must-listen.  Key Topics Covered  What is a narcissist? Understanding the key traits of narcissism and how they manifest in relationships.  The cycle of narcissistic relationships: From idealization to devaluation, how the pattern keeps people trapped.  Is love bombing intentional? The surprising truth about why narcissists appear so invested in the beginning.  The ‘Shared Fantasy' concept: Why both partners play a role in the toxic dynamic.  The making of a narcissist: How early childhood experiences shape narcissistic tendencies.  Why some people are drawn to narcissists: Exploring the unmet emotional needs that make individuals vulnerable to these relationships.  Grandiose vs. Vulnerable Narcissists: Understanding the two primary types and how they manipulate relationships differently.  Breaking the cycle: Steps to take if you're in a relationship with a narcissist and want to heal.  Can narcissists change? The truth about transformation and what it takes to create lasting change.  Key Takeaways  Not all narcissists intentionally manipulate—many are unaware of their own behaviors.  The attraction to narcissists is often rooted in unresolved emotional wounds.  Narcissists seek "supply" (validation) in different ways, depending on their type.  More effort won't change a narcissist's behavior—understanding the root cause is key.  Setting boundaries and shifting the dynamic can create positive change, but only if the narcissist is willing.  Awareness is the first step toward healing—both for narcissists and their partners.    Resources & Next Steps  Learn More About Dr. Anthony Mazzella: Visit DrMazzella.com for his podcast, videos, and additional resources.    Resources & Connect with Dr. Debi    The PBT Institute: Break free from the pain of betrayal and find safety, love, and trust again.    For the betrayed – Reclaim: Heal from your betrayal and take your life back.    For the betrayer – Rebuild: Heal yourself and help heal the heart you broke.    Take the Post Betrayal Syndrome Quiz – Post-Betrayal Syndrome Quiz    Want to become a Certified PBT Coach/Practitioner? Check out our FREE masterclass here.       Subscribe & Leave a Review: If you loved this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts/Spotify!  You can do that by: 1.

Episode 47 | 2024 Tech Insights & 2025 StrategiesThe Big Themes:Trends in Technology Implementation Success Rates: Bonnie shares insights from 742 enterprise software implementation customer reviews. Average satisfaction for implementation processes scored 3.8 out of 5, while partners involved in these projects received a higher rating of 4.7. Projects were completed on time 72% of the time, though 25% faced delays. Budget compliance was slightly better, with 76% staying on budget. Delays often result from incomplete scoping or unforeseen change orders during the discovery phase.Lessons Learned for 2025 Enterprise Projects: Reflecting on 2024, Bonnie offers three lessons for future enterprise projects. First, businesses should prioritize selecting the right partner and involve them early. Second, companies should account for unforeseen delays and cost overruns by padding budgets and timelines by at least 25%. Finally, projects are increasingly complex; ensuring collaboration between vendors, partners, and internal teams is vital.Change Management Tailored to the Audience Drives Adoption: Modern change management extends beyond traditional training and rollout strategies. Effective change management involves clear communication, peer influence, and user-friendly training materials. In 2025, organizations must consider their workforce demographics and preferences — offering bite-sized, engaging content (e.g., TikTok-style videos) and gamified elements to ensure adoption.The Big Quote: “The most successful projects were ones that had the blueprint of success that was clear and . . . a clear set of business requirements, policies, and processes that were in place prior to starting the project itself."

Gaza today symbolizes nothing but death, destruction and oppression. Israel’s genocide and scorched earth bombing campaign has not only wiped out its people but the rich history that stretches back thousands of years. Juan Cole, University of Michigan history professor and renowned Middle East historian, joins host Robert Scheer on this episode of the Scheer Intelligence podcast to clearly lay out the history behind Gaza through his newest book, “Gaza Yet Stands.” Gaza, Cole says, was a cosmopolitan place, a place people went through for travel, trade and its rich civilization. “If you were in Beirut and you wanted to go to Cairo by land, you would go through Gaza. It was a crossroads,” Cole tells Scheer. A unique, multinational city with diverse religious significance, Gaza used to represent something grand in the heart of the Middle East. Today, after it was stolen by Israel and Western colonialism, even the history is in jeopardy.  “The Palestinians were 1.3 million, and the British envisaged in the White Paper of 1939 that they'd make a state of Palestine in which the Jews would be a substantial minority,” Cole explains. “It would be a Palestine, just as the British Mandate of Iraq eventuated in the country of Iraq, and the French mandate of Syria eventuated in the country of Syria, there would be a Palestine.” This arrangement, Cole contends, was uncomfortable for all parties involved and made things worse in each affected region. Many of the Jews persecuted in the Holocaust were now destined to repatriate to this foreign land instead of to Poland and Germany, which displaced the Palestinians and welcomed havoc from settlers. In a world emerging from colonial rule following World War II, Cole explains that Israel’s creation was just a reversion back to that model. “That's what Israel is, it's a Western colonial instrument,” Cole says. “What's been done to the Palestinians is considered extremely unfair by almost everybody in the world, outside of Western Europe and the United States.”

Boost restaurant sales by $20,000 monthly with a simple but powerful tactic: “The Ask.” Today I explain how engaging customers in meaningful ways goes beyond a friendly “How are you?” By training staff to actively promote loyalty programs and offer incentives, restaurants can turn casual diners into repeat customers.

Timeless Lessons From A Money Manager That Helps Tech Employees Invest Their Money Guest name: Eric Franklin Title: Managing Principal, Co-Founder Website: www.prosperowealth.com AUM: $60M Bio: Eric is the Managing Principal and Owner of Prospero Wealth, a financial planning and wealth management firm dedicated to inspiring tech professionals to live larger and more impactful lives. Prospero Wealth is the only advisory practice to focus on this large and affluent population by providing a highly curated set of data-driven products and services, and by training multi- decade tech veterans to act as lead advisors. Despite relatively high pay and benefits, a 2020 Gartner survey found that two out of three tech workers were open to or already seeking jobs in other industries. Tech professionals are highly educated and skeptical of financial salespeople. Prospero Wealth has found them to be more comfortable working with advisors that have a similar career background and who have already made similar career switches they are looking to make for themselves (“second-act” careers with larger personal satisfaction and control). Prior to starting Prospero Wealth, Eric worked 23 years in technology, most notably at Amazon for over 18 years (over three separate terms starting in 1998) where he was an early product owner for Customer Reviews and Wish Lists, managed teams of product managers delivering category expansion for Amazon, and designed a large-scale technology platform for Customer Service triggering automated actions in response to large scale anomaly detection. In between those three stints at Amazon, Eric also worked in a number of startups as the head of product. Eric holds a B.A. degree in literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and lives in Seattle with his wife and two children. He loves taking the family skiing (even though he is a lifelong snowboarder), spinning vinyl in his home office, and is an avid reader. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/smartmoneycircle/support

Episode 445 | Reflecting on 2 Years of Generative AIThe Big Themes:GenAI's Anniversary: Reflecting on the two-year anniversary of GenAI hitting the mainstream, Bonnie notes that in reality, we still haven't seen a lot of changes yet in the sense that AI hasn't taken our jobs. The overall consensus is that many people are using it to increase productivity; the idea that we're replacing half the workforce overnight is not coming to be.Rapid Implementation: While some companies may not have much flexibility on their implementation timeline, fast and cheap isn't necessarily the best way to incorporate AI. Rapid implementation can lead to unanticipated risks and increased costs in the long run.Software Vendors and Partners: For customers to truly benefit from implementing AI, they need good partners to help them be realistic with their timelines and options. The good software vendors and partners are cautioning customers to ensure they know what they're getting into and making deliverables clear.The Big Quote: “Work with a partner that you trust and that's going to tell you the truth...They've seen it a million times. They know you as well and they know your resources. They know the scope of your project. Find those partners that you can really trust and they're going to help you [and] lead you on the right path.”

Throughout this webinar, Bill highlights how customer reviews serve as a powerful tool for building trust and credibility with potential clients. He explains that reviews not only influence purchasing decisions but also provide businesses with the opportunity to improve their products and services based on real customer experiences.Visit Rainmaker For Contractors:https://rainmakerforcontractors.com/Check Out Our Other Trainings:https://rainmakerforcontractors.com/training/Check Out Our Podcast Page:https://rainmakerforcontractors.com/podcast/

Join us for this book club chat as we interview author Dr. Charles Inouye about his beautiful memoir, Zion Earth Zen Sky. He details the experiences from his life as a child growing up in rural Sigurd, Utah. As Japanese-Americans, his family eventually settled there after his parents met at an internment camp following Pearl Harbor. His religious backgrounds include a family culture of Buddhism, and then a conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. Though he began working along side his dad as a farmer, Dr. Inouye eventually left the farm to serve as a missionary in Japan and discovered the many beauties of the Japanese traditions. He went on to pursue his education, completing a doctorate at Harvard. He now teaches at Tufts University in Boston. His memoir is replete with Haiku and stories that warm your heart to their teller. His ideas on faith are simple and profound: serving others is similar to the Buddhist tradition of maintaining a zen garden. The constant raking is what refines us, and allows us the connections that come from loving others, and being loved. https://www.amazon.com/Zion-Earth-Charles-Shirō-Inouye/dp/1950304116#customerReviews https://www.amazon.com/Hymns-Silence-Stories-Charles-Inouye/dp/1948218976/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1I9NCGKAA8UC9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.91HYIhIlWWSJ73IJ4s03YbacoDXZI4OkDCEPox1o9EYF8wLbPUkeX0ztidyFg-CKyO92CBIoVgxyPAzthvARQTQbgLbTSC85B2AsbsUkPGjgNu7BMJwm5Nkx7jlh1gJRJFowCzlgMjAm96KsaPaVT5SmN5TtWuKyLOzMQij5wnn2LXrYLqZXFH4vowSwYgsahDCvMt9Be75Bks8eW57rlswHaqbt_VR_S7Oc0IPNSf8.fsPVslObfCz34JOYvewhqNU2L76d5gU8p3ur-BO3DIE&dib_tag=se&keywords=books+by+charles+inouye&qid=1711822544&s=books&sprefix=books+by+charles+inouye%2Cstripbooks%2C62&sr=1-1

Feedback is the cornerstone of your practice's professional standing. Both patients and referring doctors actively search for reviews, underscoring the pivotal role that effective review management plays in shaping and maintaining your good reputation. Today, Jessie Pressman, the Head of Consulting at People + Practice, will impart crucial insights into navigating patient reviews. Drawing upon her extensive experience in overseeing the reputations of orthodontists, Jessie will provide proven strategies for addressing negative feedback and offer guidance on responding to positive reviews. And remember, for forward-thinking Orthos, there has never been a better time to be an Orthodontist. It's the Golden Age, so take advantage of it.   IN THIS EPISODE: [0:00] Dr Leon introduces today's topic: Managing Your Reviews with Jessie Pressman.  [3:06] Jessie explains how managing a practice's reputation has changed over the years and ways that you can collect positive feedback.  [7:04] Jessie discusses what strategy and approach she has made to the People + Practice Program and gives examples of how her approach has resolved issues.  [11:20] Jessie explains what to do and say when you get a negative review and why you never apologize.  [15:47] Jessie outlines the times you don't respond to a review and when to report them to Google.  [19:31] Jessie recommends some tips regarding getting reviews and responding to them.    KEY TAKEAWAYS:  [4:13] There are ways to collect positive feedback from your patients. The tip is to ask for a review. When someone is happy, they don't think of leaving a review. You have to ask by prompting the client for a review.  [4:53] Google is the search engine where you should spend your time and energy cultivating and responding to reviews. Facebook is no longer the preferred platform to use. Google is King. [14:10] There are legal reasons you should never apologize for a patient's bad experience in the office. Be very careful that you do not violate HIPAA laws.     RESOURCE LINKS People + Practice  - Website Leon - Email Amy - Email People + Practice - Email Jessie Pressman - Email People + Practice Blog - Jessie Pressman   BIOGRAPHY: NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- People + Practice LLC, a leading marketing agency specializing in strategic consulting and brand development for healthcare practices, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Jessie Pressman as Head of Consulting.

Prospective patients and referring doctors are looking at those. It's your name. So, there has been a spike in negativity, and we need to work to combat it.” Jessie Pressman “Another pro tip is to respond to the positive reviews. People love getting a response from you as a practice. It looks fabulous for prospective patients coming and looking at your page. Also, it's great for SEO. Again, we want to ensure that that is integrated into our marketing, which helps raise the profile.” Jessie Pressman
