You're getting distracted and you don't even know it. Your attention gets grabbed, you become interested, and suddenly you're doing things that weren't on your plan. I'm going to walk you through two advertising principles that explain exactly how this happens. One shows how your mind naturally works. The other shows where you are right now. Understanding these will change how you move through your day. You'll see why you drift off course and how to use your own brain to stay focused on what actually matters. Featured Story The other day I was driving and the red lights came on my dash. Temperature dropped to 31 degrees here in Florida. I became acutely aware that I had a problem. Low tire pressure. So now I'm thinking about where to get free air. Because free air is hard to find these days. But I know one place that has it. That's the whole process right there. I went from completely unaware to taking action because I understood exactly where I was in the awareness stages. Important Points Your attention gets grabbed all day long by bosses, friends, and advertisers using the AIDA model—they get your attention, build your interest, create desire, and move you to action before you realize what happened. You can be in one of five awareness stages right now: completely unaware of your problem, aware something's wrong, looking for solutions, knowing which product or person can help, or actively implementing solutions across your whole life. The same mental process that distracts you can work for your benefit when you deliberately use it to grab your own attention and stay interested in what moves you toward your big-ass goal. Memorable Quotes "Something's going to get your attention today, and after that, you're going to become interested. You're going to go, oh, what's that?" "You can be interested and desire things that maybe aren't good for you or maybe take you totally off track, and now you find yourself going down that road instead of the other road you wanted to go down." "It's built into your brain. It'll make you sane." Scott's Three-Step Approach Track your awareness level daily by asking yourself what's grabbing your attention and whether those things align with where you want to go instead of drifting through your day on autopilot. Identify which awareness stage you're in for each area of your life—are you unaware, problem aware, solution aware, product aware, or most aware—so you know exactly what you need next. Deliberately use the AIDA model for yourself by choosing what gets your attention, staying interested in things that matter, building desire for your actual goals, and taking action on your terms.

It's a great question, but we also talk about flapper dancing, a lot, in this hour. And then, the conspiracy that The Truman Show is the prequel to Bruce Almighty. It's deep web stuff, obviously.

US Designates Muslim Brotherhood Branches and Ideological Threat — John Batchelor, Bill Roggio, Edmund Fitton-Brown — Fitton-Brown describes the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan) as a secretive, transnational organization with deliberately decentralized hierarchical structure designed to obscure leadership and maintain operational security. Fitton-Brown articulates the organization's long-term strategic objective: establishment of a global Islamic caliphatestructure superseding nation-states. Batchelor reports that the US formally designated violent Muslim Brotherhoodaffiliates operating in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt as terrorist organizations. Roggio notes conspicuously that Turkishand Qatari Muslim Brotherhood branches were omitted from designation, likely because those nations are viewed as strategically important US policy facilitators requiring diplomatic accommodation. 1900 ISTANBUL POST OFFICE

6/8. Alf Landon, the Unremarkable Candidate, Nominated by Republicans — David Pietrusza — Republicansdeliberately rejected Herbert Hoover, instead considering mavericks like William Borah and mainstream figures like Arthur Vandenberg before ultimately nominating Alf Landon, the progressive Governor of Kansas, who had won his initial term through fortuitous electoral circumstances. Landon, derisively known as the "Kansas Coolidge" for his lackluster personality, was strongly championed by William Randolph Hearst but demonstrated poor radio communication skills, a critical disadvantage in modern electoral politics. 1936 SONJA HENIE

Ever wonder if the stuff we THINK we "know" about marketing is wrong? Me too. And it turns out the answers is ...it IS! Sometimes. We shouldn't take marketing "rules" as ...well ...actual "RULES." For example, I just told a customer NOT to use a sales letter. Which is like "Marketing Heresy!" In this episode, I show you why. You'll also discover an amazing marketing lesson I learned from a COP. (This applies to everyone. You can use it immediately). Plus you'll see what your prospects are REALLY doing ...and why it's not always a good idea to try to sell them something.

Limelight is building the infrastructure layer for B2B creator marketing, processing payments and managing campaigns for companies spending six figures monthly on creator partnerships. With $2.1 million in funding from Signal to Noise Ratio, Ascend Ventures, Savion Ventures, and strategic angels including the head of AI at Amazon and the former Chief Product Officer at Lyft, Limelight powers creator programs for Clay, Webflow, ZoomInfo, and Bill.com. In this episode of BUILDERS, we sat down with David Walsh, Founder and CEO of Limelight, to learn how he validated the market by interviewing 100+ creators, why he deliberately chose not to build an agency despite customer demand, and how his platform tracks engagement data at scale to prove ROI for performance-focused buyers. Topics Discussed: The pivot from referral software to B2B creator infrastructure after 100+ creator interviews How creator attitudes shifted from refusing brand partnerships to actively monetizing Clay's playbook: building custom Clay tables for creators before asking them to post Why Limelight chose to power agencies rather than compete with them The data infrastructure required to justify $100K+ monthly creator budgets Tracking organic engagement, converting content to paid ads, and attributing pipeline The split between brand/social buyers and performance/demand gen buyers Launching social listening to challenge legacy social media management platforms GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Validate with 100+ user interviews before pivoting: David didn't just chat with a handful of potential users—he conducted and recorded over 100 interviews with B2B creators, asking detailed questions about monetization interest, partnership preferences, and content strategies. He then repeated this process with marketing leaders. This level of research rigor before committing to a pivot is rare but critical when entering emerging categories. The depth of qualitative research gave him conviction to make a contrarian bet when most creators were still refusing brand partnerships. Build where network effects are structural, not hoped for: David specifically chose a creator marketplace after a previous marketplace failure because the unit economics included built-in virality. When Limelight pays a creator $10,000, that creator has tens of thousands of followers who see the transaction result (the sponsored content). Every payment notification becomes inbound interest. He understood that in consumer marketplaces you compete on supply quality, but in creator marketplaces the supply actively markets your platform. Founders should identify whether their marketplace has structural network effects in the transaction itself, not just theoretical ones. Target micro-creators with niche audiences over vanity metrics: The counterintuitive insight: creators with 10,000-25,000 followers often outperform those with 100,000+ in B2B because deal sizes are $25K-$50K, not $100 sunglasses. Smaller creators have higher engagement rates, unsaturated audiences, authentic expertise in specific domains, and haven't been "bought and sold for" yet. When brands face the choice between a 100K-follower creator at $2,000 per post with 200 likes versus a 25K-follower creator at $1,000 per post with 300 likes, they irrationally choose the larger following. Founders should educate buyers that in B2B, targeted influence within specific buyer committees matters more than reach. Build data infrastructure to win performance buyers, not just brand buyers: Limelight tracks every piece of content in real-time (not waiting weeks for creator screenshots), monitors all engagement and segments it by ICP fit, provides self-reported attribution from demo forms, tracks website traffic spikes correlated to posting schedules, and generates qualified lead lists from content engagement. This comprehensive data layer is what allows demand gen leaders to reallocate spend from paid channels. The market is splitting 50/50 between brand/social buyers and performance/demand gen buyers—the latter has larger budgets and treats creator spend like paid media that requires attribution. Founders entering new marketing channels should build attribution infrastructure from day one, not as an afterthought. Deliberately choose infrastructure over services even when customers ask for help: Despite customers like Webflow, ZoomInfo, and Bill.com spending $100K+ monthly and requesting more hands-on support, David chose to build product and enable agencies rather than hire account managers and become a service business. His reasoning: people have tried to replace agencies in recruiting for decades and failed because buyers want the human in the middle. The bigger opportunity is being the infrastructure that powers all agencies, not competing with them. This fork-in-the-road decision—hire CSMs and influencer marketing managers versus build more product—defines whether you're building a scalable platform or a services business disguised as SaaS. Use your first customer to custom-build product, then scale it: Clay became Limelight's first customer when the platform was early. David essentially custom-built features for Clay's creator program, learning their workflow for building Clay tables for creators, their onboarding process, and their approach to creative freedom. This deep partnership gave Limelight the product foundation to scale from managing 20 creators to 200+ for Clay within nine months, then apply those learnings to other customers. Rather than building in a vacuum, founders should find a sophisticated first customer willing to co-develop the product, even if it means initially building something custom. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

After living overseas for 25 years, Sebastian O'Keefe returned home with the dream of creating a world‑class agave spirit, using plants introduced in colonial times that are now used as cattle feed. O'Keefe told Biznews in an interview that he and his partner criss‑crossed the country testing plants and discovered rare ‘Red Agave' thriving in a dry, salty, high‑altitude place in the Klein Karoo near Ladismith. Harvested by hand, gently steamed in dairy tanks and fermented with wild yeast, the first batch of Inzalo Agave Spirits will roll off the line in the next two weeks. Deliberately not called tequila or mezcal (those names are protected), Inzalo is being positioned as the founding member of an entirely new, proudly South African category of agave spirit. He said as they started working with the spirit their ambitions grew to not only create the greatest agave spirit outside of Mexico but to create a new class of agave spirits, something that is completely unique to South Africa. And it will include two varieties, Batch One, a white spirit, and Barrel One, an aged version to be sipped slowly to cater for local tastes.

Eric speaks with two former law enforcement officers, Chris and Dave, regarding their experiences with hostage negotiation training and undercover work, particularly on a Vice detail involving arrests for public indecency and the pursuit of pedophiles. They discuss how the principles of negotiation skills, such as active listening, mirroring, and building rapport, are surprisingly transferable to the world of sales and everyday life. The conversation shifts to intense anecdotes from their police careers, including a close-quarters knife fight and the emotionally challenging nature of interviewing suspects like child predators. Finally, they touch upon the challenges of modern law enforcement, including political pressures and issues within their former department, concluding with a discussion of Dave's current local-focused podcast. Key Takeaways: Use active listening, mirroring, and paraphrasing techniques in everyday conversations. Mirroring is a simple technique of repeating a person's words to build rapport and prompt them to elaborate. Deliberately incorporate moments of silence into conversations to allow thoughts to gather and enhance impact. Continually practice negotiation philosophies because skills will degrade if you do not use them regularly. Identify potential verbal triggers beforehand so you know which topics or words to carefully avoid during sensitive discussions.

Hamas Delays Hostage Releases and Hezbollah-Iran Funding Guest: Sarit Zehavi Sarit Zehavi reports that Hamas is deliberately slowing hostage releases and breaking the ceasefire to regain control and avoid being dismantled, as promised by the agreement. She states that Hezbollah is primarily funded by Iran, while Hamas is largely funded by Qatar. Israel's new security strategy involves maintaining strategic buffer zones, including nine military positions in Syria and control of five hills in Lebanon, to physically protect Israeli civilians from hostile groups. 1922 GAZA

Hamas Violates Ceasefire and Maintains Political Control Guest: Jonathan Conricus Jonathan Conricus states that Hamas is systematically violating the ceasefire, deliberately stalling the release of hostages' bodies to maintain political leverage against Israel. Hamas is internally working to settle scores and communicate that they are "here to stay" as a governing force. Conricus notes that the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian terrorists, including experienced operatives, significantly increases the likelihood that they will eventually resume terror activities.

Schanzer also addresses alarming reports that Iran is rebuilding a suspect nuclear enrichment site, underscoring that maintaining peace requires constant vigilance and sustained pressure against malevolent actors determined to destabilize the region. 1965 GAZA

In May 2022, 27-year-old Travis Ray Thompson was caring for his ex-girlfriend's two-year-old daughter, Jacklyn Schwingel, when he called to say something was wrong. Minutes later, Jacklyn was found unresponsive — her spine severed and body showing signs of brutal force. Emma Kenny examines how anger, control, and heartbreak turned deadly in this harrowing case.

In onze samenleving ligt de nadruk op het opdoen van kennis. Hoe meer kennis, hoe beter, lijkt het devies. Daarmee gaan we voorbij aan het feit dat we er soms bewust voor kiezen om beschikbare informatie niet te hebben. Zo willen we de uitslag van een wedstrijd niet weten als we die op een later moment terugkijken en vraagt ook niet iedereen de uitslag van een medische test op. Wat zijn redenen om informatie niet te willen hebben? Is dit bewust negeren van informatie ethisch? En (hoe) kunnen we bewust negeren verklaren en voorspellen?

Gaza Ceasefire and Regional Instability in the Middle East Jonathan Schanzer, Foundation for Defense of Democracies, with John Batchelor Schanzer analyzes the Gaza ceasefire, noting Hamas is deliberately slow-rolling the return of bodies to maintain leverage. New regional tensions are rising, including reports of Egypt moving aggressive offensive weapons into the Sinai and Turkey calling for a pan-Islamic offensive against Israel. Schanzer notes that internal power struggles between tribes and a weakening Hamas could lead to political fragmentation in Gaza. 1915

Something is coming: https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com/p/whatnext   What if mastery isn't about perfection—but about transformation? In this episode of The Lectern, John Vervaeke is joined by Ethan Hsieh to explore how the cultivation of virtuosity—typically associated with the arts—can become central to philosophical and existential growth. Ethan introduces his Tiamat process, a three-tier developmental framework integrating performance training, cognitive science, and dialogical practice. Together, they explore what it means to live a deliberately developmental life, moving beyond therapy into embodied transformation. Ethan draws from his background in acting, pedagogy, and philosophy to offer a new model of self-cultivation rooted in agency, feedback, metacognition, and trust. Ethan Hsieh is a facilitator, educator, and philosophical practitioner whose work bridges performance, cognition, and transformative pedagogy. As the creator of the Tiamat process, he integrates insights from embodied practice, developmental psychology, and dialogical philosophy to help individuals cultivate virtuosity as a way of life. Ethan is also a co-founder of Five to Midnight, a community of practice that fosters relational, developmental growth through shared inquiry.

Gratitude is a mindset. It's a tool that when deployed in crisis can be essential for reframing your narrative and your understanding. How we find gratitude in crisis, however, is not always obvious, nor is it easy. In this special episode I've looked back into our archive to find five extraordinary and unique situations where gratitude has been the difference between despair and resilience.Today's episode features important learnings from Strictly dancer Amy Dowden; celebrity chef Jon Watts; the late tech-founder and philanthropist Stephanie Shirley; self-help powerhouse Paul Mckenna; and Falklands veteran Simon Weston. LESSONS YOU'LL LEARN:Gratitude + passion = purpose. When you're thankful for something you love, that gratitude transforms into determination that can push you through unimaginable pain.When there's nothing else to be thankful for, clarity can be all you need - A hard truth is better than no truth. Knowing the boundaries of your crisis stops the spiral and gives you a place to start.Even the most devastating experiences can transform you for the better. Crisis can deliver a resilience dividend, dismantling what doesn't serve you and building something more meaningful in its place.Deliberately notice what you have, not what's missing. You get more of what you focus on. Gratitude retrains your brain to see abundance instead of lack during crisis.Be grateful for the chance to contribute. After losing everything, gratitude can simply be thankfulness for time and ability to make a difference. Learn to like yourself for that, not despite your scars.

The war starts with America terribly unprepared.  British efforts to make peace suffer from a lack of focus; Casltereagh is just not applying much brainpower and effort to the American sitution.Almost no navy.  A tiny regular army like 11,000 men, terribly officered.  No real tax funding for the government to speak of.  Deliberately, they have avoided preparing for war, preferring to pay off the national debt, and are almost entirely unprepared.  And nevertheless  totally confident that they can sleepwalk to victory in Canada.1812 turns out to defy all expectations, but 1813 sees a turnaround with more American success on land and less at sea.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck looks at new polling showing just how unsettled Americans feel heading into yet another potential government shutdown. With 93% of the country agreeing that political violence is a problem and a majority believing we're in a full-blown political crisis, partisanship has hardened to the point where disagreement itself is seen as betrayal. Chuck traces how government shutdowns—once unheard of before 1980—became a recurring political weapon, thanks to Justice Department rulings, congressional maneuvering, and laws that reduced the political pain by exempting things like military pay and Social Security. The result: contractors left stranded, bipartisanship all but eliminated, and a system designed to fail.Then, veteran journalist for The Economist, James Bennet joins Chuck to break down Donald Trump's scathing U.N. speech and what it reveals about his worldview: not isolationist, but relentlessly self-centered, with his personal interest framed as national interest. Bennet warns that Trump's grip on power is existential for him and his administration, and if institutions like the Supreme Court allow unchecked presidential firings, the rule of law itself could unravel. From the Cold War's stabilizing influence to the fractures of today's four-party system crammed into two, Bennet and Chuck explore whether America can navigate its political turmoil without mass violence, and how drone warfare, refugee flows, and the collapse of the international rules-based order are reshaping global politics.The conversation also turns inward, examining how journalism has struggled to adapt in the Trump era. Bennet reflects on writing for international audiences, the dangers of catering to niche media bubbles, and why legacy outlets must rediscover local reporting. He argues that deplatforming Trump was a massive mistake that accelerated the collapse of resistance, while public pressure against platforming controversial voices continues to erode open debate. From Biden's misunderstood mandate to the Senate's paralysis and the rise of cult-of-personality politics, this episode considers what reforms will be necessary both in government and in journalism.Finally, Chuck takes a trip in the ToddCast Time Machine to 1974, when congress gave the Freedom of Information Act teeth, plus answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.Got injured in an accident?

Real-eyes you are waking up from your traumatic past to a world of deliberately socially engineered ignorance. It is up to you, and within you, to heal yourself.We have all been blessed with resiliency of body mind and spirit. Our brains have been made perfect, so why do we only use 10% as we are taught?Because we have been taught wrong! Deliberately. When Project Paperclip imported Nazi and Fascist scientists into the US in the wake of WWII, with them came the formula for mind control in order to perpetuate what Hitler, Bush, Biden, and self appointed self anointed global leaders term New World Order. A compliant society was needed, and mind control became the invisible menace for implementing it.Since knowledge is our defense against mind control, birthright information on mind brain function was immediately suppressed under the 1947 National Security Act. Mark Phillips found this birthright information while working the highest levels of intelligence mind sciences to preserve the sanctity of free thought.  He was appalled to see knowledge that is our defense against mind control, along with innate capabilities for healing from physical and mental trauma, had been withheld for generations from education, mental health, and medical communities and ultimately society as a whole. Mark was bound by laws of sedition, as were many others in positions of intelligence who shared his outrage at the sanctioned usurping of human evolution.  When Mark lifted my daughter and me out of the Washington DC swamp of MK Ultra human trafficking, he handed me keys to my own mind. Since this is birthright information buried within us all, these methods are easy to self apply and result in abSOULute healing.Mark did not deprogram me. He empowered me to deprogram myself. In turn, I am sharing this information to all who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and soul to know truth. Since I am not bound by laws of sedition, and it was my experience to heal, you, too, can be empowered to heal from within your self free of misdirected, misinformed, intrusive outside input simply by quietly and privately applying PTSD: Time to Heal.Trauma activates our brain's defense mechanism of shutting down neuron pathways to compartmentalize and repress memory. Deep in the subconscious, trauma undermines our thinking process, intrudes on our present, and  even manifests in ill health, unless it is dealt with through conscious awareness. Trauma shuts down neuron pathways. Awareness opens neuron pathways. It is within you to reclaim self control and inner peace just as I did.Our brains were made perfect by divine design, complete with defense mechanisms and capacity to deactivate those mechanisms with awareness. Yet this birthright knowledge was censored for generations while humanity was conditioned to look outside themselves to Big Government, Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Cult/occult religion to tell them how to live their lives. This gave control of life's purpose to a handful of self appointed self anointed  puppetmasters hellbent on implementing their global slave society agenda.With information on the resiliency of body mind and spirit withheld for generations, Drs forgot that the subconscious never sleeps, even during surgery. This simple key would empower assurance of full healing rather than undermine the recovery process through adverse discussions in the operating room. After generations removed from birthright resiliency, humanity forgot how perfect our bodies have been made. Instead, people bought into Big Pharma's illusion that babies need over 79 vaccines in their first year in order to survive.Read the full article on Cathy's website here!

Venkat Atluri, McKinsey senior partner and coauthor of The Ecosystem Economy: How to Lead in the New Age of Sectors Without Borders, explains how value creation is shifting from stand-alone enterprises to coordinated networks of collaborators. Drawing on two decades advising leaders in technology, media, and telecom, he outlines what makes ecosystem businesses distinct from traditional conglomerates—and the governance required to make them work at scale.   Atluri emphasizes that ecosystems aren't about diversification for its own sake, but about following a customer-led thread: “Start with the customer and then follow the thread—what other problems does that customer have that you can solve together with partners?”   Key Insights from the Conversation Beyond Suppliers: Many firms mistake a supplier list or procurement process for an ecosystem. Atluri is clear: “A supplier list is not an ecosystem. An ecosystem is about mutual value creation and sharing in the upside.” Role Clarity Matters: Some firms will anchor the platform, continuously raising the bar for developers and users. Others will participate as contributors, protecting privacy, quality, and customer experience. Scale only comes when “responsibilities, incentives, and accountability” are explicit. Discipline in Operating Models: He advises executives to integrate ecosystem thinking into strategy, but then run deeper, dedicated workstreams to define roles, economics, and governance. Competition Is Ecosystem vs. Ecosystem: Scenario planning must account for new types of disruptors and ask, “What would an ecosystem leader do here?” Over time, Atluri expects the economy to consolidate into a few macro-ecosystems with multiple micro-ecosystems nested beneath them. History as a Control: Symbian and BlackBerry illustrate that large user bases are not moats. “Unless you keep raising the bar on your proposition, you lose.” Customer Experience Sets the Standard: Consumer expectations now apply in B2B as well: “If something doesn't work out of the box, that tells you the company is focused on itself, not the customer.”

2/8. Professor Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad presents a narrative for an audience already deeply familiar with the Trojan War. The poem deliberately avoids the war's traditional beginning (like the Judgment of Paris or Helen's abduction) and its end (the fall of Troy or Achilles's death). Instead, it intensely focuses on a month and a half of "Greeks versus Greeks," offering a sophisticated and often unexpected reshaping of familiar stories, inviting the audience to engage with the narrative with fresh eyes, much like watching a new production of a classic play.

Today, Steve sits down with Baroness Beeban Kidron, a member of the House of Lords in the UK and a global authority on online privacy and tech regulation. They discuss the critical importance of privacy on the internet in the age of surveillance capitalism, why we need to reframe how we talk about AI and new technology, and the problems with the UK government's current AI policy.  Key Takeaways: The internet has changed, making privacy online essential.  Regulating the internet and technology is still possible. The current path the world is on when it comes to AI is highly problematic and should be taken more seriously.  Tune in to hear more about: Why privacy online matters more than ever (1:22) How technology is impacting early childhood development (12:08) Baroness Kidron's take on the UK's AI strategy (28:17) Standout Quotes: “[The internet] is deliberately designed to keep your attention. Deliberately designed to make you come back, deliberately designed to know the most, to reveal the most. And in that context, actually, privacy becomes an incredible tool of protection for the user, particularly for children who may not understand the negotiation that they're in.” - Baroness Beeban Kidron “ We have to think about what kind of world we want, what kind of world is good for us, what kind of world benefits most people, and then we build ourselves a pathway to do the most we can in that direction.” - Baroness Beeban Kidron “ it is hugely important to protect the idea of copyright. It is a moral right because it is an expression of your humanity. What you write, what you draw, what you sing is yours. It is you. It is a manifestation of you. So it comes with, and in fact, in human rights law, it is specifically stated that it is your moral right to determine how that is used.” - Baroness Beeban Kidron Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Eric is joined by Justin White of K&D Landscaping at a recent technology conference. White, a self-made CEO who grew his family's landscaping business from $1 million to $20 million in ten years, shares insights on leveraging technology, particularly AI, for business growth and efficiency. He emphasizes that while AI can't perform physical tasks like mowing, it revolutionizes administrative work such as estimating, scheduling, and communication, ultimately freeing up time for a more "human" approach with clients. The conversation also highlights the importance of personal well-being, strategic vision, and the value of coaching for entrepreneurs aiming to scale their businesses and create wealth for their teams. White concludes by underscoring the lucrative opportunities within the landscaping industry, encouraging contractors to embrace self-care, set ambitious goals, and act with speed and intention. Key Takeaways: • Prioritize self-care and well-being as a crucial component for success, which can help reduce stress and improve your overall mindset. • Set a bold and ambitious long-term vision for your company, as this vision will guide your major decisions and help you build confidence. • Deliberately allocate dedicated time to explore and implement new technologies, like AI, to enhance back-end operations and improve efficiency. • Build a robust leadership team capable of making independent decisions across all business areas, enabling growth beyond current operational limitations. • Consider hiring a business coach to provide guidance, foster a belief in your capabilities, and maintain accountability towards your goals.

In this episode, we sit down with performance coach and hypnotherapist Dawn Grant to unpack the true nature of "the zone." While many think of it as a purely mental state, Dawn reveals it as a spiritual and mental experience that goes far beyond traditional sports psychology. She shares how her work with hypnosis led her to discover that the peak performance state athletes describe is the same euphoric, calm, and focused state her clients enter during hypnosis. Dawn explains that the zone is a natural state of mind, characterized by reduced critical thinking and the absence of worry, doubt, and fear. By learning to quiet the ego and its negative thought patterns, we can deliberately tap into our true potential—not just on the golf course, but in every aspect of our lives. We discuss the value of failure as a roadmap for growth, the importance of a healthy mindset, and why the "post-segment routine" is key to building lasting confidence and joy.

1. Jeffrey Epstein Files Controversy: - Attorney General Pam Bondi's Accusations: Bondi accused the New York FBI Field Office of deliberately withholding significant parts of the Jeffrey Epstein files. She sent a formal letter to FBI Director Cash Patel, demanding the full release of the files and an investigation into why her orders were not followed. - Details of the Letter: Bondi's letter, dated February 27, 2025, outlines her repeated requests for the full Epstein files and the discovery that thousands of pages were being withheld. She set a deadline for the FBI to deliver the complete files and to investigate the non-compliance. - White House Briefing: Conservative influencers were invited to the White House, where they received Phase One of the Epstein files. The briefing revealed that the FBI in New York had not provided all the documents, and there were suspicions of audio and video recordings being withheld. - Media and Public Reaction: The media criticized the release, calling it a "nothing burger," while conservative influencers emphasized the significance of the withheld documents and the deep state resistance. 2. Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump: - New York Post Report: The document discusses a New York Post article suggesting that the would-be assassin of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, may have had an accomplice.
