Sick of feeling like scaling means selling out? Growing your business shouldn't come with a side of chaos and compromise - but that's exactly where so many founders get stuck. What if building a dream team and creating sustainable systems could feel just as aligned as your mission? In this episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I sit down with Jessika Phillips - founder of NOW Marketing Group and queen of relationship marketing - to talk about how she built a 7-figure agency rooted in authenticity, community, and heart. From getting laid off while pregnant to leading a 12-person team with full benefits (and full buy-in), Jessika shares the behind-the-scenes growing pains most people won't admit. You'll learn: ✔️ Why your team (and clients) don't stick around just for money - and what they actually want ✔️ The subtle signals you've outgrown a client (and how to break up without the drama) ✔️ How to avoid hiring disasters by asking the right questions up front ✔️ What collaborative role design looks like - and why it leads to longer retention ✔️ How building culture early saves your sanity later (hint: don't skip the manifesto)

What is wrong with our soil? Florida friendly landscape information from Tina McIntyre from UF/IFAS Extension Seminole County. Teresa's Dirty Word of the day.

Let's be real - most prospects don't know what they actually need. They come in hot asking for “everything,” on a budget built for... maybe one thing. And too often, service providers stretch themselves thin trying to deliver it all - hello, burnout and resentment. In this solo episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I break down how to guide your clients toward the right packages without lowering your prices, people-pleasing, or packing your offers with stuff you secretly hate doing. This one's especially for my marketing agency friends, but applies to any service-based business that wants to sell smarter. You'll learn: ✔️ Why giving clients exactly what they ask for usually backfires ✔️ How to position bundled offers that feel like a win-win ✔️ The art of redirecting scope creep into aligned packages ✔️ Simple ways to show value without industry jargon ✔️ Why your confidence is the most magnetic part of the sale

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 457. I had been meaning to talk to my old friend Sheldon Richman, of the Libertarian Institute and TGIF column, about his own IP Odyssey, as he's always been great on this issue, (( My IP Odyssey; as quoted in “Your failed business model is not my problem”; Sheldon Richman, “Patent Nonsense," IP Debate Breaks Out at FEE. Others, e.g. Richman, The Articles of Confederation Versus the Constitution. )) and many others. At the same time I had been talking to André Simoni of Brazil about some questions he had about applying my/Rothbard's title-transfer contract theory to some questions he had about interest payments on student loans and other contracts, usury, and so on. I had thought of talking to André and Sheldon separately but decided to combine them, partly because I confused André's topic with a discussion I had also been having at the same time with Galambosian Brian Gladish about IP and Galambos. (( On Galambos, see the following. On Gladish, see the next note. Galambos and Other Nuts; The Galambosians strike back; “Around this time I met the Galambosian.”; Was Galambos an IP Thief?; Galambos the Crank; Shades of Galambos: Man tries to copyright his name; Rothbard and Galambosians. )) Libertopia, San Diego, Oct. 11, 2012: Anthony Gregory, Kinsella, Roderick Long, Sheldon Richman. See KOL238 | Libertopia 2012 IP Panel with Charles Johnson and Butler Shaffer; KOL237 | Intellectual Nonsense: Fallacious Arguments for IP—Part 2 (Libertopia 2012); KOL236 | Intellectual Nonsense: Fallacious Arguments for IP (Libertopia 2012) Sheldon and I talked first about IP and other topics, and then to André about contract theory, which Sheldon jumped in on anyway. (I may talk to Gladish later about Galambos and IP.) (( Gladish on Galambos at ASC; his comments at: Have You Changed Your Mind About Intellectual Property?; Galambos and Other Nuts; Mises on Intellectual Property; Why Objectivists Hate Anarchy (Hint: IP). )) We touched on a number of topics; see the summary of our discussion points by Grok, below. https://youtu.be/7vrIz8cv2Bw Of relevance: Stephan Kinsella, “The Title-Transfer Theory of Contract,” Papinian Press Working Paper #1 (Sep. 7, 2024) Napolitano on Health-Care Reform and the Constitution: Is the Commerce Clause Really Limited?  and On Constitutional Sentimentalism (re Richman's point about the interstate commerce clause); see also his comments about federal tax power in Randy Barnett's “Federalism Amendment”–A Counterproposal; and related posts The Walmart Question, or, the Unsupported Assertions of Left-Libertarianism Ep. 382 Sheldon Richman Says Corporate Isn't a Dirty Word, Bob Murphy Show Four questions for “anti-capitalist” libertarians (Carpio)/Is Capitalism Something Good?

Many times your first sales meeting is NOT with the decision maker or CEO at a company.  That means your sales strategy needs to be different in that initial meeting in order to get the final meeting with the REAL decision maker.  In this solo episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I reveal why winning over internal stakeholders - like a CMO, Ops Lead, or HR Director - is the key to closing the deal. If you want a powerful internal champion that makes the CEO say yes, you've got to address the unique pressures and metrics of the person right in front of you. You must uncover each stakeholder's biggest pain points, demonstrate genuine empathy for their day-to-day challenges, and empower them with everything they need to pitch your solution up the chain.  Once you become a TEAM with your internal advocate, they will fight to internally sell you over any other solution or competitor. Listen in to Discover:  ✔️ Why simply focusing on overall company revenue won't help you: A CMO's or Ops Director's success is measured differently and you must find out what that i! ✔️ How to turn an internal stakeholder into your champion: Show them you'll make their work easier and their results stronger. ✔️ Key discovery questions that reveal specific challenges an internal team faces - so you can tailor your pitch to their daily reality. ✔️ The right way to bridge the gap to the CEO: Collaborate with your internal ally to secure buy-in from the top. ✔️ Practical tips for dealing with departmental turf wars, budgeting concerns, and multi-layered decision-making processes.

In a culture that often glorifies hustle, self-sacrifice, and productivity over joy, ease, and indulgence, pleasure has been unfairly stigmatized. It is often labeled as frivolous, self-indulgent, or even shameful. But here's the truth: pleasure is not a distraction—it's a necessity.Pleasure is a fundamental part of a balanced and fulfilling life. Reclaiming pleasure as a positive force allows us to reconnect with our senses, nurture our well-being, and experience life more fully.As women, we've been conditioned to believe that pleasure is something we must earn—a rare indulgence reserved for when we've worked hard enough, proven ourselves enough, or been “good” enough. But pleasure isn't a reward—it's your birthright. And reclaiming it is the key to living fully, authentically, and unapologetically.

Great time to add trees & shrubs. What to start growing now. Dirty Word of the Day.

Everyone focuses on their ideal audience and misses the huge opportunity lying in their ANTI audience.  So, when you've got tons of leads and no one is buying, the problem often isn't your offer—it's who you're selling to. In this episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I break down why defining your “anti-audience” is the key to making sales easier, faster, and more profitable. When you get crystal clear on who is not a fit for your offer, two things happen:  1️⃣ You stop wasting time on bad-fit clients who drain your energy and bank account 2️⃣ Your ideal clients trust you more and want to work with you even faster In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✔️ Why filtering out bad-fit clients actually increases your sales ✔️ How to spot the red flags early—before wasting time on the wrong people ✔️ How to use your anti-audience to strengthen your marketing and messaging ✔️ The questions you should be asking in every sales conversation ✔️ How to confidently tell someone they're NOT a fit—without losing business

In the mid '70s Skyhooks basically gave the Australian music industry the enema it had been needing. For too long many Australian bands spent hours copying their UK/USA cousins and Australian content in songs was far and few between.Skyhooks were cheeky, brash and colourful: wearing makeup years before Kiss were even conceived. Songwriter Greg Macainsh composed many amazing tunes-many sprinkled with Melbourne place names and Australian themes and he put together the band that would change the musical history of the country. Greg Macainsh grew up in Melbourne, Australia. He was exposed to a diverse array of musical influences and his passion for music developed during his teenage years, leading him to pick up the bass guitar. In 66, while at high school, Macainsh formed his first band, Spare Parts, alongside drummer Imants "Freddie" Strauks.This initial foray into the world of music marked the beginning of a collaborative relationship that would prove pivotal in the years to come. The duo laid the groundwork for subsequent projects, including bands like Sound Pump, Reuben Tice, Claptrap, and Frame.In 73, Macainsh co-founded Skyhooks. Skyhooks quickly gained a cult following in Melbourne, captivating audiences with their theatrical performances and provocative lyrics that addressed themes such as drugs, sex, and the Australian gay scene. Their music was distinctly Australian, often referencing local places and culture. However, it wasn't until the addition of lead vocalist Graeme "Shirley" Strachan in 1974 that the band solidified its classic lineup and began its ascent to national prominence.The release of their debut album, "Living in the 70's," in 74 marked a turning point for Skyhooks and Australian rock music. Produced by Daddy Cool's Ross Wilson, the album showcased Macainsh's songwriting prowess. Despite six of its ten songs being banned by Australian commercial radio due to their controversial content, the album soared to the top of the charts, remaining at number one for 16 weeks and selling over 200,000 copies—a record-breaking achievement at the time.Skyhooks' success was further propelled by their dynamic performances on tv programs like ABC's "Countdown." The band's second album, "Ego Is Not a Dirty Word," released in 1975, continued their winning streak, topping the charts for 11 weeks and solidifying their status as Australian rock icons.Despite their monumental success, Skyhooks faced challenges, particularly in breaking into the international market. A 1976 tour of the United States yielded limited success, as American audiences struggled to connect with the band's uniquely Australian references and flamboyant style. Internal changes followed, with guitarist Red Symons departing in 1977 and lead vocalist Shirley Strachan leaving in 1978. These shifts marked the beginning of a transitional period for the band, leading to a decline in commercial success and culminating in their disbandment in 1980.Following the dissolution of Skyhooks, Greg Macainsh embarked on a diverse and fulfilling career. He earned a law degree, and applied his creative talents to various projects.  Macainsh also developed a passion for mountain biking and culinary arts, notably perfecting a kosher chicken stock.Skyhooks' impact on Australian music and culture is immeasurable. Their fearless exploration of taboo subjects and incorporation of Australian vernacular into their lyrics challenged the status quo and paved the way for future artists to express authentic narratives. In this episode we journey through Greg Macainsh's life. From his early days in Melbourne to the heights of fame with Skyhooks and his subsequent personal and professional endeavours, Greg story is one of creativity, resilience, and lasting impact. This episode is certain to resonate with music lovers, baby boomers, Australian music fans, Skyhooks enthusiasts, and aficionados of 70s music all over the world.#skyhooks #australianrockmusic #'70srock #hits

Abbie and Adrian discuss the backlash against Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) programs amidst changing federal policies and ongoing cultural debates. They explore the tension between maintaining an inclusive workplace and the pushback against such initiatives, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue, factual evidence, and continuous learning. The conversation touches on "merit," the value of diverse voices, and the responsibility of businesses to foster inclusive environments and equitable practices. This episode offers a nuanced exploration of the challenges and opportunities in working together to create a better world. Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website. Key Takeaways Diversity is a fact of nature and should be mirrored within workplace environments to promote inclusivity and equity. Policy shifts have impacted the traditional DEI landscape, raising questions about meritocracy and representation. Systemic biases are pervasive, and acknowledging personal biases is essential for fostering more inclusive spaces. Real progress requires open, honest, and sometimes tough conversations about race, equity, and inclusion in society. Leaders of companies and non-profit organizations should authentically communicate their stance on DEI issues, reflecting these values in their operations and cultures.

In this episode of Sales Is Not a Dirty Word, I sit down with Andrew Anderson—renowned coach, master practitioner of NLP, and international bestselling author—to uncover the hidden power of the subconscious mind and how it shapes our reality. Andrew has spent over a decade helping entrepreneurs and executives unlock their full potential by rewiring deep-seated beliefs. We dive into the incredible ways your subconscious influences your success, why willpower alone won't cut it, and how you can create real, lasting transformation. Plus, Andrew shares his unique perspective on faith, coaching, and breaking free from limiting beliefs—no matter where you come from or what you believe. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your subconscious mind controls more than you realize—and how to reprogram it. How limiting beliefs from childhood still impact your business, relationships, and health. The real reason affirmations and positive thinking aren't enough to create change. The secret to shifting deep-rooted patterns without forcing or faking it. Why true personal growth isn't about resisting who you are but embracing and upgrading it.

With affirmative action and so-called diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs under attack by President Donald Trump, J.C. Polanco is holding his ground. A former Republican candidate for public advocate in New York City, Polanco is the CEO of the Council on Legal Education Opportunity, a national nonprofit organization that was founded in 1968 to expand opportunities for underrepresented students to attend law school. Polanco, who is also a law professor at the University of Mount St. Vincent, joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss his push to make the legal field more diverse and the obstacles his organization faces due to reduced funding and political attacks. They also discussed the history of DEI initiatives and their own respective paths to finishing law school.  Join the conversation, weigh in on Twitter using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.

In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why sales and marketing teams often clash—and how to get them on the same page ✅ The key questions sales should answer for marketing (and vice versa) ✅ How to create content that attracts the right prospects and pre-qualifies them ✅ The simple meeting strategy that helps teams uncover huge revenue opportunities ✅ How prioritizing feedback can prevent wasted time and effort

(Deuteronomy 32:2) Doctrine is not for professional theologians and academic minds. It is simply our beliefs and teachings, taken directly from the Word of God. Study the Scriptures and settle what you believe from the Bible. (0939250212) ----more----  God's Doctrine and Our Opinions Libraries and bookstores are absolutely filled with men's opinions. Radio, television, talk news, all of it, totally filled with everybody's ideas about what they think is right. But I wonder How often we stop to say, what does God think? Did you know that God's thoughts are revealed in His Word? And if you want to know what God thinks about something, then ask yourself this question, what does the Bible say? The Importance of Doctrine We're beginning this series of what the Bible says. And I've started here by just laying a little foundation about the importance of what we call doctrine. That's a word that some people stay away from today. Let me just tell you, doctrine is not a dirty word. Not at all. In fact, it's God's word. Biblical References to Doctrine Did you know that the word doctrine is found 51 times in 50 verses of your Bible? Let me show you a couple of them today. You may want to get a good concordance and look them all up for yourself and walk through them and meditate on them. I've done that. And it's a rich, refreshing way to study that Bible word. But let me show you the first one. The first one is Deuteronomy chapter 32 and verse number 2. Now remember, the first time a word is used in the Word of God, it has great significance. It's the law of first mention. Because the first time it's given, it really gives a pattern to follow. It gives an opening truth, if you will, that the Lord will consistently go back to. Doctrine as Refreshing Rain In Deuteronomy 32, we read these words, "My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass." There are two or three things that really strike me even as I read that verse. One is, that God connects doctrine to rain. We think of doctrine as being some really heavy thing. But I want to say to you, really, God says, my doctrine is refreshing. My doctrine is a blessing to you. It drops down as the rain, it distills as the dew. Think of the gentleness of dew and then not only what it is as it comes down, but what it produces, it brings about the tender herb. It brings showers upon the grass. I believe that every good thing that grows in our life grows out of the truth. And until we understand the importance of doctrine, we will never become the people that God wants us to be. Now that's Deuteronomy 32 too. Let me read the verse before it and the verse after it. Verse 1 of Deuteronomy 32 says, "Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak. And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distill as the dew, As the small rain upon the tender herb, And as the showers upon the grass, Because I will publish the name of the Lord. Ascribe ye greatness unto our God."  Doctrine and Worship The very first time the word doctrine is used in scripture, it is connected to worship. We don't study to know. We study to worship. We don't study to simply have facts. We study to know the God of truth. We come to Bible doctrine and we say, Dear Lord, we want to know you better. We want to know what you have to say to us. Oh God, speak to us and show us yourself. That's the great message of Deuteronomy chapter 32, and that's the great purpose of doctrine.  False Teachings and Doctrines The last mention of the word doctrine is found in Revelation 2, in the church age, in the letters to the seven churches, and it says in Revelation 2 24, But I say unto you and unto the rest in Thyatira, As many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan as they speak, I will put upon you none other burden. So here we have the exact opposite. Here we have. A reference to false teaching. There's always going to be truth and error. There's always going to be this battle this warfare between the God of truth and the old liar, the deceiver, the serpent, the devil. Always. That's what we're watching in our world today. That's what's going on on school campuses. That's what's going on in the news. That's what's going on In government, there's always this conflict and struggle between what is true and what is not. And in the end, we must go back to this, what does the Bible say? I said to you that the word doctrine is found 51 times in Scripture, but the plural word, doctrines, is used 5 times. And did you know that the 5 times it's used in the New Testament, it is always in the negative. It's never a reference to truth. It's always a reference to error. Now, that's very significant. For example, Matthew 15:9 Jesus says, "In vain they do worship me teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Or how about Hebrews 13:9, "Be not carried away with divers and strange doctrines, for it's a good thing that the heart be established with grace, not with meats which have not profited them that have been occupied therein." God reserves the plural for men's ideas But he reserves the singular for his own truth. Why is that? Because men have lots of disconnected ideas. They teach lots of varied things and call them truth. But God has one body of truth and it's all connected. And it's all important. I have the Bible in my hand right now. The Word of God. Friend, I need it all. I don't need part of it. I need every bit of it. I don't want to fall short of Scripture. And I don't want to go beyond Scripture. I just want to know what the Bible is.  The Myths About Doctrine Now there are basically two great myths when it comes to doctrine. I've heard both of them and so have you. Number one, some people say we stay away from doctrine because doctrine is divisive. As a matter of fact, I hear even some churches advertise, Come to our church. We don't talk about doctrine. We talk about real life things. I think, excuse me, that's a very ignorant thing to say. Because the word doctrine literally means our beliefs and teachings. So what those people are saying is, Come to our church. We don't believe or teach anything. Why would you go to a church that doesn't believe or teach anything? No, doctrine is real life. It's truth that is to be applied to the way we live every day. Doctrine is not divisive. It simply divides truth from error. It does divide. Oh yes, it divides believers from unbelievers. It divides the obedient from the disobedient. It divides the humble from the proud. It does divide, but it is not divisive. In other words, The truth is not what stirs up the problem. What stirs up problems are the responses of people to the truth. It's not loving to say everything goes. Anything and everything can be truth. Love always has to measure up to the truth. The God of love is a God of truth. So the first great myth is that doctrine is divisive. I say to you that doctrine comes from a God of unity and our hearts are only made one. And our minds are only singularly fixed on what is right when we come in line with what the Bible says. The second myth is this. Doctrine is dry. I hear that from time to time. People say, people can't handle all this doctrinal teaching. I even hear people brag sometimes. I'm no theologian. You should be. Theology is the study of God. You should be a real student of God. Doctrine is not dry. The speaker may be dry, I've been dry, and you've been dry, but the Word of God is perennially fresh. And as we study the Word of God, we should do it with enthusiasm. And when we share it with others, we should do it with a spirit of We're at excitement that we have the truth of God and we have the joy and privilege of sharing it with other people. A Call to Study Doctrine All men have some truth, the truth of creation and of conscience, but all of them don't receive it alike. And see, it's how you respond to the truth that's important. We're not searching for the truth, we're searching in it. We've come to find out what the Bible says. So we can bring our lives in line with it, and we can pass it along to someone else. Outro Repeating what other people have said about the Bible is not enough. We must know the biblical reason behind what we believe. We hope you will visit us at etj.bible to access our library of Bible teaching resources, including book by book studies of Scripture. You'll also find studies to watch, listen to, or read. We are so grateful for those who pray for us, who share the biblical content, and for those who invest to help us advance this ministry worldwide. Again, thank you for listening, and we hope you'll join us next time on Enjoying the Journey.
