Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel underpaid, misunderstood, or stuck explaining why your work costs what it costs? Most agency owners don't wake up one day and decide, "You know what sounds fun? Running an agency." They stumble into it, usually because the job market fails them. That's exactly how today's featured guest got her start. In this episode, she'll unpack how slowly building her confidence as she gained more experienced changed her perspective on pricing and why most "thought leadership" content does more harm than good. Alicia Disantis is the owner and creative director of 38th & Kip Studio, a dual branding and design studio celebrating 15 years in business. She founded the agency during the 2008 recession, which is about as pressure-filled a launchpad as you can imagine. Before building a sustainable agency, Alicia wore a lot of creative hats: video game character artist for early mobile games, comic book artist for an urban vampire/werewolf series, and unpaid intern at a graphic design. These experiences heavily shaped how she thinks about value, pricing, and positioning today. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why agency pricing should feel scary. Educating clients who think your work is "easy." An approach to thought leadership that actually creates value.

Creating a Unique Path that Lead to Agency Ownership Like many agency owners, Alicia didn't start with a master plan. She started with a student loan bill that arrived a month before graduation and over a hundred job applications that led nowhere. When the traditional path failed, she did what resourceful creatives do: she pieced together work wherever she could find it. Freelance gigs turned into repeat work. Repeat work turned into confidence. And eventually, confidence turned into a business. She went from being an unpaid intern, to game designer, to a comic book designer, and forged a unique path, going from charging just $200 for her first freelance job to earning the confidence she needed to believe she could build her own business. Most agencies are born from survival more than a carefully thought business plan. The danger is that when you start that way, you often carry survival pricing and survival thinking far longer than you should. That early context matters, because it explains why so many agency owners struggle to raise prices later. From $200 Clients to Pricing That Feels Scary (In a Good Way) Alicia's first client paid her $200. She also did a lot of free work, because at the time, that felt like the only way in. What changed over the years wasn't some magic pricing formula. It was confidence. Marketing and creative work is deeply undervalued, especially compared to STEM or "expert" services. People don't argue over a $250 legal consult but they will argue endlessly over a logo. As Alicia grew, she learned three critical skills: Educating clients on the real cost of doing work right Having the confidence to say no Quoting prices that made her a little uncomfortable It wasn't easy, but mostly it just took time. How to Educate Clients Who Think a Logo Is "Easy" Alicia managed to reframe the value of branding for skeptical clients not by arguing but by analogizing. Instead of defending design directly, she compares it to plumbing, legal work, or real estate. You wouldn't hire a $5 freelancer to represent you in civil court, so why would you do that for the thing that represents your entire business? This framing does two things: It removes emotion from the conversation It positions branding as expert work, not artistic preference Clients should also understand the hidden cost of "cheap" solutions, especially with websites. Hiring a friend or a bargain provider usually leads to cut corners, broken functionality, and stalled growth when the person inevitably disappears. The goal isn't to lead with fear. It's to calmly explain consequences and let the client decide if cheap is really cheaper. Thought Leadership That Builds Trust (Not Clickbait) Thought leadership is an area where Alicia found significant success creating valuable educational content. In her view, it's also something most agencies get wrong. The problem isn't content volume. It's content relevance. In her experience, the key to producing this content is leading with research on what people want to hear about. She's also encountered many white papers that don't even offer any takeaways or new perspectives, which ends up diluting the trust on your brand. Alicia insists that everything she produces or is a part of must have key takeaways that her audience can translate into a real technical plan. She shared a four-part framework she uses before creating educational content: Motivation – Why does the audience care right now? Pain points – What problem are they actually trying to solve? Literacy level – How well do they understand the subject? Communication style – How do they prefer to consume information? The literacy piece is where most agencies mess up. If you speak marketing jargon to an audience that doesn't have that literacy, you don't sound smart. You sound patronizing. And nobody buys when they feel dumb. Alicia is intentional about making sure everything she puts out includes tangible takeaways—things people can write down and act on. Without that, it's just noise. Playing the Long Game with Content and Personal Brand This podcast started over a decade ago not as a growth hack, but out of curiosity. The goal was to let listeners be a fly on the wall. The payoff took years, but now it's a massive moat. People join our community and say they've been listening for years before ever raising their hand. That kind of trust doesn't come from ads with rented Lambos. But it also takes time and determination. Less than 7% of podcasts make it past episode three, and only about 1% make it beyond episode 23. From Alicia's perspective, finding your unique personality and value proposition is the hardest part of business. People are afraid to be different, but different is the whole point. Discovering your own value proposition on your own is like trying to tickle yourself. You need outside perspective to see what's actually special.

DEAR WLS Question from Anonymous Coward from CA (krista)Why isn't 6.5 grendel more popular? Question from Anonymous Coward from CA (krista)Jeremy just said that there's no other cartridge that'll do the work of a 300 blackout sub sonic. Why isn't sub sonic 350 legend, 450 bm, 458 socom etc. more popular for subsonic work? They all have more energy at the same velocity because bigger pill Question from Alex W. from FL (krista)Dear WLS. Can y'all recommend a 9mm subgun can for around $500? Preferably outside diameter of 1.62″ or less because that gives me more options for a suppressor tuck rail. But, if I have to go up to 1.7″ that's not a deal breaker. If it matters, it would be going on a stribog sp9a1. Thanks Alex W. Question from Alex W from Florida (krista)Dear WLS. Do you guys have any experience with the newer magpul metal pistol mags? Im pretty sure they make them for the p320 but what im most interested in is I'm pretty sure I saw that they're supposed to be coming out with metal p365 mags. I want a pile of mags for my xmacro but at $50 each from sig, that gets expensive fast. A cheaper one from magpul would be awesome as long as it works well. Thanks Alex W Question from Scott-G from WA (krista)Scott-G here 2 things 1 I was looking through mid west ind.'s extensive portfolio and noticed I could not find a m-lok to Arca adapter ( shut up Jeremy ARCA is superior to pic for precision work pic reigns supreme for optics and door kicking accessory mounts) . With your influence with mid west that might be a cool product to suggest 2 I asked last time what was up with Brownells and you kinda dodged the question. To be specific can we get an update as to who are the latest sponsors and what were the circumstances / situations that coused the splits with old sponsors. We listeners tend to trust you guys and knowing the back story often helps us decide where to support with our purchasing power. ( another example is swamp fox I have a decent Idea of why they are gone but confirmation would be nice) Question from John B from TX (krista)Dear WLS, I've been looking for a CZ P10C Ported lately, but I can't find one anywhere, including online(except for 1 on guns.com but they're selling it for $999 because it's the only 1).

How do you live well, stay engaged, and protect your mental health when the future of the planet feels so uncertain? Listen to this episode of Stories from the Field where our host Will White is joined by Dr. Thomas Doherty—psychologist, ecopsychologist, and author of Surviving Climate Anxiety—for a grounded conversation about eco-anxiety as a normal, values-driven response to climate change rather than a disorder to eliminate. Thomas reframes climate anxiety as a signal of care and connection, and introduces practical ways to regulate the nervous system, make meaning, and stay psychologically resilient without denying reality. Designed for both individuals struggling with climate anxiety and mental health professionals who work with anxiety and grief, this episode explores how time outdoors can become genuinely healing, how to avoid becoming a "climate hostage," and how to move toward what Thomas calls ethical happiness—living with purpose, connection, and integrity in a rapidly changing world.

878 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/878 Presented by: Smitty's Fly Box, Intrepid Camp Gear, Stonefly Nets, Togiak River Lodge Today, we're digging into how fly rods are really designed. Not the marketing side, but what really goes into the design, the testing, and why some rods last for decades while others fall apart. Zac Dalton from St. Croix Rods is on the podcast today, and he walks us through how fly rods are designed from the ground up. We talk about rod action and why faster is not always better, what durability really means for anglers who fish hard, and how different actions change the way a rod fishes and casts.

Episode Overview If you've been struggling with betrayal for a long time despite trying multiple healing approaches, this episode reveals why well-meaning practitioners and proven methodologies often miss the mark when it comes to betrayal-specific recovery. Key Topics Covered Why Life Coaching Isn't Enough Life coaching excels at goal setting, accountability, and mindset shifts Works beautifully for career advancement, relationship improvement, and business growth Falls short for betrayal survivors because you're not starting from the same place When betrayed, your reality is shattered and your nervous system is in crisis The Therapy Gap Traditional therapy covers diagnostic criteria, CBT, trauma treatment, and mental health conditions Post Betrayal Syndrome® isn't in the DSM yet, so therapists don't know to look for it Over 100,000 people have taken the Post Betrayal Syndrome assessment with staggering symptom statistics Physical, mental, and emotional symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, hypervigilance, sleep and gut issues all share one underlying cause The Trust Rebuilding Misconception Relationship coaches often focus solely on rebuilding trust with the betrayer Multiple aspects of trust are shattered: trust in yourself, others, your intuition, and your judgment Rebuilding trust with your partner is actually the last piece, not the first Why Other Modalities Fall Short Trauma-informed training: Doesn't differentiate betrayal from other traumas Somatic training: Critical for nervous system regulation but doesn't address the complete framework Attachment training: Valuable for relationship patterns but doesn't address identity shattering Grief counseling: Helpful but betrayal involves grief PLUS reality disruption, identity crisis, and complete trust shattering The Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™ General trauma treatment doesn't account for betrayal-specific stages Someone in Stage 2 presents very differently than someone in Stage 3, 4, or 5 Understanding the stages reveals why certain responses occur and what's needed to progress The Timing Problem Right tools at the wrong time backfire Stage 2 (shock/trauma) clients aren't ready for accountability structures Stage 4 clients don't need basic nervous system regulation anymore Proper healing requires the right modalities at the right stage The Stage 3 Trap What a Stage 3 Life Looks Like: Surviving but not thriving Managing and suppressing Post Betrayal Syndrome symptoms Keeping people at bay out of fear Building a safe but flat life 67% of betrayed individuals prevent forming deep relationships to avoid being hurt again 84% have an inability to trust again (out of 100,000+ studied) The Ripple Effects: Limited depth in relationships Challenges with workplace collaborations and partnerships Inability to trust yourself, your judgment, or your perception of reality Attracting more of the same situations Making decisions from Stage 3 thinking versus Stage 4 or 5 thinking The Solution Why Specialized Betrayal Training Matters: All aspects need rebuilding: physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual Requires a proven roadmap through all five stages Not just talk therapy, not just somatic work, not just goal setting—all of it together at the right time Updated PBT Certification: Newly revised certification modules New exam, experiential exercises, forms, and worksheets Designed to help clients identify their current stage and move to the next one Makes it easier to work with clients using stage-specific tools Key Statistics Over 100,000 people have taken the Post Betrayal Syndrome assessment 67% prevent forming deep relationships due to fear of being hurt again 84% report an inability to trust again The Bottom Line There's no reason to stay stuck in Stage 3. People need to get back to their lives, their work, their kids, families, and friends in the way they can only do when they heal. The roadmap exists—it's the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™.

This week I sit down with Autumn Calabrese to talk about fitness, mindset, and stress management—especially as they relate to women in midlife. We explore how hormonal changes can affect energy, recovery, motivation, and overall health, and why many women find that the fitness strategies that once worked no longer feel effective or sustainable. We also discuss how women's fitness culture has evolved over time, shifting away from extremes and toward a more balanced, realistic approach that prioritizes consistency over perfection. This episode highlights why managing stress is just as important as working out, and how nutrition, quality sleep, and community support play foundational roles in long-term wellness. At its core, this conversation is an invitation to reframe fitness as a tool for resilience, strength, and vitality—not punishment—and to encourage women to embrace change, stay consistent, and prioritize their health through every season of midlife. Fitness helps support warmth, energy, and resilience, especially during winter Mindset is a major driver of sustainable fitness and health habits Stress management is essential for overall health in midlife Hormonal changes can significantly impact women's physical and mental well-being Fitness culture is evolving toward balance rather than extremes Consistency in workouts leads to better long-term health outcomes Nutrition is a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle Quality sleep is critical for recovery and overall well-being Embracing change can transform the midlife experience Community and accountability enhance motivation and long-term commitment Autumn's IG BODI platform To my fellow clinicians: listen to the You Are Not Broken podcast on Pinnacle's network to earn FREE CME credit Listen to my Tedx Talk: Why we need adult sex ed Take my Adult Sex Ed Master Class: My Website Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic?

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel you're giving everything to your agency and only getting exhaustion as a result? Agencies grow best when they're built around clarity, empathy, and self-awareness. Whether it's pricing, boundaries, team management, or AI, the common thread is intention. Today's featured guest understands that you don't need to hustle harder. You need to design smarter, around who you are, how you work best, and what kind of business you actually want to run. She'll share her perspective on agency growth, self-awareness, leadership, and how AI should actually be used inside a modern agency and provide a real look at what it takes to build an agency that's profitable, human, and sustainable without losing yourself in the process. Ingrid Schneider is the CEO and founder of Stay in Your Lane, a fractional CMO and franchise development agency, and Train in Your Lane, an AI education company helping teams build real AI intuition. What started as fractional work after being laid off during the pandemic has grown into a 16-person team running full marketing departments, launching brands, building LMS platforms, and training companies like Ben & Jerry's and Ace Hardware on how to actually use AI to solve problems. In this episode, we'll discuss: Going from survival mode to self-worth: pricing and confidence. How to set boundaries and protect your brain. Design an agency that energizes you, not drains you. Managing people, not just performance with a human-first approach.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Building an Agency on Trust and Integrity Ingrid doesn't come from a tidy, linear career path. After being laid off as a CMO during the pandemic, she made the decision to not work for anyone else again. She started doing fractional CMO work to replace her salary, focusing on trust, authenticity, and doing the work well. What began as a solo operation three and a half years ago is now a full team serving a wide range of clients. Some rely on Ingrid's team to run their entire marketing department. Others bring them in for focused, fractional engagements. The growth didn't come from aggressive sales tactics—it came from being reliable, human, and honest about what they were good at. Learning Your Worth and Unlearning Survival Mode When Ingrid landed her first client, she charged $3,000 a month for two brands. And that client still complained about pricing. Like many agency owners, she was focused on replacing her salary, not building a business. Survival mode has a way of shrinking your sense of value. Learning her worth didn't come from a pricing spreadsheet. It came from personal work deconstructing old beliefs, recognizing her own capabilities, and understanding the impact she could have on others. Ingrid talks openly about how her upbringing and past experiences shaped her tendency to underprice herself and overextend. As her confidence grew, so did her standards. She began collecting people with grit, sometimes hiring for attitude over experience, and building a team she trusted deeply. The biggest lesson for her was: if you don't believe in your value, your pricing, and your agency, will reflect that. Preventing Agency Burnout: How to Set Boundaries Running a business can be incredibly stressful, which is why many owners can relate to being in fight or fly mode all the time. However, this is the worst thing for both your health and your business because chronic stress will affect your brain and get you to a point known as "flipping your lid." According to Ingrid, this term, which she learned from Dr. Daniel Siegel, describes what happens when stress pushes you into fight, flight, or freeze. Logic goes offline. Creativity disappears and everything feels harder. For agency owners, this shows up as exhaustion, impatience, and bad decisions, and healing will mean confronting the reality that you can't run a business well if your body and brain are in survival mode. In her case, Ingrid found healing by emphasizing boundaries as a leadership responsibility. Knowing where your value is best served, trusting your team, and recognizing when their lids are flipped allows you to lead with empathy instead of pressure. The agency doesn't need a burned-out hero. It needs a regulated, self-aware leader. Designing an Agency That Energizes You, Not Drains You This is a lesson that agency owners that currently feel miserable with their business and wanting to give up should learn. Drawing your boundaries will look different to everyone, but you can start by asking yourself what you want to do every day and what you never want to do again. Just draw a circle on a piece of paper and start writing. Inside: the work that gives you energy. Outside: everything that drains you. You'll see that most likely what you need is to redesign your agency around this. You can't be all things to all people. Agency that try usually end up miserable and unprofitable. Wins and losses both matter, but only if you're paying attention to what they're teaching you. Topline revenue means nothing if you hate how you're earning it. Sustainable growth comes from aligning what's good for the business with what actually fills your cup. That alignment is what keeps agencies alive long-term. Managing People, Not Just Performance with a Human-First Approach As an empath, Ingrid leads with a people-first approach rooted in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). When something goes wrong, she looks at three things in order: herself, the system, and then the person. Are expectations clear? Do they have the resources they need? Is she showing up with patience? Perfectionism isn't the goal in her agency because perfection is stressful, unrealistic, and unnecessary. Instead, the focus is on doing really good work while protecting the team's mental energy. This is where AI comes in, not as a shortcut for thinking, but as a way to remove the minutia that burns people out. This has been the case for Ingrid, who enjoys managing people. If this is not your case, then focus on hiring people who can manage themselves. But remember you have to learn to let go if you want a self-managing team. There are countless ways to reach the same outcome and speed isn't always the metric that matters most. Sometimes the "slow" work produces the best results. Using AI to Empower Teams, Not Create More Noise Ingrid's approach focuses on education and the fact that everyone should be training their AI intuition to be able to understand how an AI tool works and how it could help them. She trained her own intuition by changing her social media algorithms to feed her AI micro-learnings. From there, it became about application: looking at every agency task and asking, Can AI help solve this better? Her team runs weekly "show and tell" sessions where they demo how they used AI to solve real problems. There's also an AI policy but it's framed as a permission slip, not a rulebook. Team members can experiment with tools on a company card, and if they prove value, the agency commits. The bigger point is this: if you're not empowering your team to use AI thoughtfully, you're holding them back. This isn't about pumping out more content—it's about freeing up human brains to do the work that actually matters. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

The 4% rule has a major flaw: it doesn't account for healthcare costs. If you're planning to retire early, health insurance premiums will rise sharply as you age—from your 30s through your 60s before Medicare kicks in at 65. This isn't speculation; it's how the U.S. healthcare system works under the ACA. On this episode of the BiggerPockets Money podcast, Mindy Jensen and Scott Trench break down why early retirees need a bigger financial buffer than traditional FIRE calculations suggest. Learn the real cost of healthcare in early retirement, strategies to reduce expenses (geographical arbitrage, health shares, catastrophic coverage), why you can't rely on ACA subsidies long-term, and how to build a healthcare plan that won't derail your path to financial independence.

These Border Patrol raids deep in our cities are nothing but a massive beta test for the AI surveillance grid, with feds wearing Meta glasses that snap your face, ID you instantly, and feed you into kill lists just like they did to Alex Pretti before they executed him on camera. Erika Kirk wants you to buy her grieving trad-wife act, but the receipts don't lie—she's a documented pathological liar who faked her entire backstory, hid ex-fiancés and wild reality-TV hookups, invented a single-mom sob story, and buried inconvenient family members while pretending to be some pure Christian conservative princess.

Dr. Peter Antevy returns to the Inside EMS co-host seat this week, filling in for Kelly Grayson and bringing some serious pediatric firepower to the conversation. Host Chris Cebollero dives right into the latest buzz around the Broselow tape recall — yes, again — as Dr. Antevy unpacks what went wrong, why it matters and what EMS agencies should be doing about it now. He also shares exciting details on his brand-new, field-focused Newborn Resuscitation & Obstetrics course (NROC), built by EMS for EMS. Designed with two hours of online content (zero PowerPoints!) and a short, in-house skills lab, this course aims to tackle one of the most nerve-wracking call types. No more dragging medics to the hospital for NRP classes that don't translate to street-level care. Also on deck: OB deserts, delayed cord clamping, why you might need to Saran-wrap a newborn (seriously), and what AI can — and can't — do for EMS. This one's packed with practical pearls, myth-busting insights and a whole lot of passion for pediatric education. Quotable takeaways from Dr. Peter Antevy “EMS is one specialty that AI will never take away, as far as like the human-to-human contact. We resuscitate people, we treat people who are seizing. AI will never do that. That's a good thing.” “Academics and the hospital folks don't recognize the value that EMS brings to the table. They think we're ambulance drivers. It's time for them to wake up and recognize that we are the people who deliver babies. We are the people who resuscitate grandma, grandpa and the little kid.” Enjoying Inside EMS?

Nick Reiner allegedly murdered his parents — director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. The tragedy has forced a national conversation about something America has avoided for decades: the addiction treatment system doesn't work. Relapse rates between 40-60% within a month. Over 90% for opioids in the first year. A $42 billion industry that keeps billing whether treatment succeeds or not. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're asking the hard question — is the system broken, or is this just what addiction looks like?Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to break down the clinical reality behind the headlines. The 28-day treatment model wasn't designed by doctors — it was designed by insurance companies in the 1970s. The brain doesn't heal from addiction in 28 days. So why is that still the standard? Shavaun examines what evidence-based treatment actually requires, why most facilities can't provide it, and whether we're expecting too much from a population that often doesn't want to recover.We're digging into the co-occurring disorder crisis — the trauma, depression, and mental illness that almost always accompanies addiction but rarely gets treated. The underpaid, undertrained workforce doing the frontline work. And the uncomfortable truth about patients who learn to game the system. Join us live as we examine whether the treatment industry is failing its patients or facing an impossible task.#NickReiner #RobReiner #AddictionTreatment #RehabFailure #ShavaunScott #MentalHealthCrisis #TreatmentIndustry #SubstanceAbuse #OpioidCrisis #HiddenKillersLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dear Boss Babe… If you've been feeling like your life doesn't fit anymore — like you're outgrowing something you can't quite name — I need you to hear this: you are not broken, behind, or confused. You're evolving faster than the systems you built to support an older version of yourself. And that low-level exhaustion that doesn't go away, even when you rest? That's not random. That's your next level asking for more capacity. In this episode, I'm speaking directly to the high achiever who's tired of hustle culture but doesn't know how to slow down without losing momentum. I'm breaking down what actually causes burnout — and why it's not because you're doing too much, but because your life is still organized for a version of you that no longer exists. I share my own evolution from being the quiet, responsible, behind-the-scenes woman to stepping into more visibility, leadership, and responsibility — and how every time I delayed upgrading my systems, I paid for it in exhaustion, self-doubt, and second-guessing myself. Here's the truth most people miss: rebranding yourself isn't about confidence — it's about capacity. You can want more income, more freedom, more impact. But if your life is still built for less responsibility, less visibility, and a smaller vision, burnout becomes inevitable — no matter how much self-care you try to stack on top. In this episode, we talk about: Why hustle culture burns out high achievers How outdated systems create burnout and overwhelm Why self-care doesn't work when your life can't support you What rebranding yourself actually looks like in real life How to build stability without losing ambition Becoming unrecognizable doesn't start with bold moves. It starts with boring structure — and boring is what allows you to grow without burning out. Before you move on, ask yourself this:Where is my life still organized for a version of me I've already outgrown? That answer is your next level. If this episode resonated and you know motivation isn't the problem — your systems are — I created The Reset Room for you. The Reset Room is where high achievers step out of burnout, rebuild their routines, and create lives that actually support who they're becoming — without hustle culture or self-abandonment.

When BLOX opened in 2018, it divided opinion. Designed by OMA as the home of the Danish Architecture Center, the building was unlike anything Copenhagen had seen before, bold, complex and unapologetically different. In this episode, host Michael Booth is joined by DAC CEO Kent Martinussen for a guided tour of BLOX, as the centre prepares an anniversary exhibition marking 40 years of DAC. Together they unpack the story behind the building: the unusual architect selection process, Rem Koolhaas' vision of architecture as urban infrastructure, and the idea of BLOX as a city within a city. Moving from harbour-level plazas to dramatic interior spaces and rooftop terraces, the conversation explores how BLOX has evolved from controversy to everyday use, a flexible, lived-in building where culture, work and city life intersect. Guest: Kent Martinussen, CEO, Danish Architecture Center Host: Michael Booth Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center. Sound edits by Munck Studios.

General Blaine Holt argues that a military strategy regarding Iran should prioritize "combat enabling operations" designed to help local citizens overthrow the regime rather than pursuing a traditional occupation with boots on the ground. He advocates for a limited air and sea campaign that empowers the Iranian people to reclaim their country, followed by international support for security and economic reintegration once the dictatorship is removed.1952
The Patriotically Correct Radio Show with Stew Peters | #PCRadio
Former TPUSA insider Matthew Tucciarone goes nuclear in this must-watch podcast, ripping the lid off ballot harvesting fraud, massive data heists, and the deadly Zionist betrayal that led to Charlie Kirk's murder.
This Mental Man Monday takes place on a Tuesday, and Izzy opens by acknowledging the shift with humor before diving into a focused and fast-paced episode built around three cultural moments: the viral rise of calorie-loaded “snack hacks,” Kanye West's open letter about his mental health, and the wave of TikTok creators claiming censorship around ICE-related content.Izzy begins by announcing that Season 9 officially closed with Episode 5 featuring AmRock, and until the new season arrives, Mental Man Monday will continue as a livestream series centered on current events that directly impact men. The first topic is a viral TikTok involving Biscoff cheesecake egg rolls, which sparks a deeper conversation about food culture, weight loss, and the sin of gluttony. Izzy examines how TikTok's dessert trends have quietly redefined what “snacking” means, turning simple treats into full meals with 1,200 calories or more. He breaks down the mental health component through the lens of emotional eating, body transformation, fasting culture in January, and the tension between treat culture and self-discipline. Izzy connects this to the Christian principle of stewardship over the body, joking that “WWJD” (What Would Jesus Do) in this context is calling out gluttony, while “WWID” (What Would I Do) focuses on portion control, algorithm manipulation, and leveraging January fasting traditions as a spiritual reset.The second segment shifts to Kanye West, who published a full-page open letter in the Wall Street Journal claiming that an undiagnosed brain injury from 2002 contributed to years of public instability. Izzy reflects on bipolar disorder, grief, artistry, and how culture treats Black genius when mental illness is involved. He affirms that two things can be true at once: Kanye's admission may be sincere, and the entertainment industry may have also attempted to control the narrative. Izzy explores public apologies, the ethics of restoration, and the responsibility men have to apologize when they're wrong—while also noting that public dishonor should receive public correction. The discussion lands on a practical mental health takeaway: treatment, therapy, lifestyle change, and accountability matter, but apologies only carry weight when rooted in sincerity, not pressure. In the final segment, Izzy addresses growing claims from celebrities that TikTok is censoring ICE-related content after a Minneapolis man was killed during an ICE operation. Rather than joining the digital outrage cycle, Izzy takes a critical thinking approach, refusing to follow groupthink or reactionary activism without research. He explains that ICE may have been founded with one intention, but that individual agents often abuse their power, and that the real crisis lies in unnecessary violence and the trauma of family separation. Izzy then examines what Jesus would do—drawing a distinction between honoring governing authorities and refusing to endorse immoral actions—and challenges men to seek truth beyond political binaries. He reminds listeners that refusing to hate a political figure does not translate into supporting them, and that Christians should avoid reactionary rage while still confronting injustice.The episode closes with a brief reflection on discernment, discipline, and preparation for the year ahead. Izzy hints at future guests, a new talk show concept, and ongoing cultural analysis. He signs off with a consistent reminder to keep your head up, know who you are, and make decisions that align with purpose rather than pressure.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package
Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you feeding your data into AI and assuming the insights it gives you are accurate? What if those confident-sounding answers are quietly steering you in the wrong direction? More agency owners are turning to AI to analyze and interpret performance data, and for good reason. Used correctly, it can save massive amounts of time and move teams beyond using AI to crank out blog posts, ads, or emails faster. But when it comes to attribution, performance analysis, and real decision-making, AI has a dangerous flaw: it's often wrong with absolute confidence. Today's featured guest understands where most agencies go wrong with AI-driven data analysis. He'll break down why large language models frequently misinterpret marketing data, how flawed inputs and assumptions lead to misleading insights, and what it actually takes to get reliable answers from AI without burning budget or making bad strategic calls. Scott Desgrosseilliers is the founder and CEO of Wicked Reports, a marketing attribution platform built specifically for e-commerce brands doing between $5M and $50M in annual revenue. Scott has spent years deep in attribution, analytics, and now AI, figuring out how to separate real signal from noise in an ecosystem where every platform claims the win. He'll talk about how most platforms may be misleading you and the framework he uses to bring sanity back to attribution for serious e-commerce brands. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why AI is sounds smart but gets marketing attribution wrong. Injecting intention into AI. The Five Forces framework to improve your AI data.

Why AI Sounds Smart But Gets Marketing Attribution Wrong One of the biggest myths around AI is that it's inherently "smart." Scott shared that it took eight months for Wicked Reports to release their AI analyst, not because the tech wasn't powerful, but because it was too confident while being wrong. AI models are designed to sound affirmative. Ask them a bad question, and they'll still give you a polished answer. If you ask ChatGPT if you should jump off a bridge, it'll say, "Yes, that's a great idea," unless you explicitly train it to be critical. That's a massive problem when you're dealing with revenue attribution and ad spend decisions. Another major issue is that AI lacks native understanding of time, which is foundational to attribution. Clicks, impressions, tags, and conversions happen in sequence over days or weeks. Without heavy rules, coaching, and sanity checks layered in, AI can't naturally interpret cause and effect. Left alone, it simply fills in gaps, and those hallucinations can cost you real money. Why Intention and Metrics Matter More Than the AI Tool The first thing Scott's team had to "inject" into the AI was intention. Not all campaigns exist to do the same job. Prospecting, retargeting, direct response, and existing customer campaigns each have different goals and therefore require different scoreboards. If you don't tell the AI what the intention is for each row of data, it will make assumptions. And those assumptions are usually wrong. The "North Star" metrics and leading indicators change depending on what you're trying to accomplish. A prospecting campaign shouldn't be judged the same way as an abandoned cart flow. The second big issue is AI's obsession with ROAS. ROAS is easy to latch onto because it gets rewarded with "thumbs up" feedback, but it's often misleading. If two-thirds of your reported revenue comes from repeat customers via email or SMS, AI might tell you your ads are crushing it when they're not. Simply separating new customers from repeat customers already puts you ahead of 95% of advertisers. The Five Forces Framework for Making Better Attribution Decisions To solve these problems, Scott introduced his Five Forces Framework, (intention, expectation, action, outcome, and optimization) a methodology most agencies simply aren't using. The first force is Intention, which defines both the scoreboard and the timeframe. New customer acquisition might need a 30–90 day window to show results, while an abandoned cart campaign can be evaluated in seven days. Without this context, teams panic too early and kill campaigns that haven't had time to work. The second force is Expectation, which is all about alignment. Brand owners often look at Shopify, GA4, Meta, Google, Klaviyo, and SMS dashboards—all showing different numbers. Without agreeing on a single version of truth, clients freak out and shut down top-of-funnel campaigns after five days because the data "doesn't look good yet." Setting expectations isn't a one-time conversation; it has to be reinforced constantly. Reducing Drama: Use "Scale, Chill, and Kill" to Guide Ad Spend The third force is Action, which includes launching the campaign but only after defining clear boundaries. Scott recommends setting "Scale, Chill, and Kill" zones before you spend a dollar. For example, if your acceptable new customer acquisition cost is $50–$70, that's your Chill zone. Below $50? Scale it. Above $70? Kill it. These predefined rules remove emotion, reduce second-guessing, and dramatically lower what Scott calls "psychic stress" inside agencies and brands. Once campaigns run, the fourth force—Outcome—is simply measuring performance against those zones. Did it scale, chill, or die? Optimization Is More Than Creative Tweaks Most agencies obsess over creative, constantly swapping headlines, images, and copy. For Scott, optimization should be more structured. At his agency, they use a decision log to rank potential actions by impact, focusing on whether the problem is the offer, the creative, the traffic, or the budget. But Scott added a fourth optimization factor most teams miss: signaling. If you don't send the right signals back to ad platforms, your optimization efforts don't matter. Meta, in particular, is very good at claiming credit for conversions it didn't truly drive and if it sees quick conversions, it will chase more of those, even if they're just repeat customers. Training Ad Platforms to Optimize for What Actually Matters To fix this, Scott recommends creating separate events in Meta's Events Manager for new customer purchases versus repeat purchases. That way, ad sets can optimize specifically for the outcome you want. If you're closing existing customers through email or SMS, you don't want Meta learning from those conversions. But when a new customer buys, Meta gets a clean signal and starts finding more people like them. Scott noted that when creative and offer are solid, sharpening signals alone can dramatically reduce acquisition costs within a month. You can even go deeper by signaling based on SKU types, allowing platforms to optimize toward higher-quality or more strategic purchases—not just any conversion they can grab credit for.

Donald Trump's proposed “Board of Peace” is being sold as a bold new approach to global diplomacy. In reality, it represents one of the most dangerous assaults on the post-World War II international order in decades. This video breaks down how a narrowly defined UN ceasefire resolution for Gaza was transformed into something entirely different: a private, treaty-based global authority centered not on states, law, or democracy—but on Donald Trump personally. With no term limits, no removal mechanism, and total control over membership, finances, and succession, the Board of Peace is structured to outlive elections, bypass governments, and concentrate unprecedented power in the hands of one man and his chosen heirs. Independent media has never been more important.
