Shut up, already. Damn! Prince was one of the most interesting popular artists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and Sign o' the Times from 1987 was the culmination of one of the most interesting periods in a career full of interesting periods. After various circumstances caused him to abandon a double album (Dream Factory), and other circumstances caused him to abandon a single album (Camille) that he didn't plan to release under his own name, he initially tried to release a triple album before Warner Bros. made him cut it down to a double. Sign o' the Times (the resulting double album) has its fair share of hits, yet it's also messy in a way that appeals to many critics and fans but has also left many people puzzled by some of Prince's decisions. This episode's panel has three outright fans of the album (John, Mike, and Rich) and one moderate skeptic (Ben), and this combined with the album's sprawl results in a lengthy but incredibly dense discussion. Prince was somebody who could appeal to many different people for many different reasons, and in this episode we make a case for why he's worth digging into beyond a handful of ubiquitous radio hits. This episode covers Disc 1; Disc 2 will be coming out later, so watch your podcast feeds!Cohosts: John McFerrin, Rich Bunnell, Mike DeFabio, Ben MarlinComplete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/164-prince-sign-o-the-times-1987Discord & Rhyme's merch store: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpodSupport the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod

In this episode of 'Resilience Unravelled,' host Dr. Russell Thackeray welcomes Kevin McCarthy, a former entrepreneur turned consultant, who shares his remarkable life story. From becoming a paper millionaire during the late 90's dot-com bubble to losing everything and eventually spending 33 months in a federal prison for unknowingly committing a crime under a deceptive boss, Kevin discusses the concept of 'blind spots.' These blind spots, which include unconscious biases, thinking errors, and limiting beliefs, cloud our judgments and can lead to destructive behaviours. Kevin highlights how his time in prison led him to self-reflect, study cognitive psychology, and ultimately write his book 'Blind Spots: Why Good People Make Bad Choices.' He explains his approach to addressing blind spots through self-awareness and feedback, along with details about his blind spot assessment tool based on the DISC framework. Kevin also emphasizes the importance of choice in finding purpose and resiliency.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:19 Kevin's Entrepreneurial Journey01:00 The Downfall and Prison Experience05:44 Understanding Blind Spots06:42 Unconscious Bias and Thinking Errors11:39 Leadership and Self-Reflection20:08 Navigating Prison Life23:45 Finding Purpose and Resilience24:02 Conclusion and Contact InformationYou can contact us at info@qedod.comResources can be found online or link to our website https://resilienceunravelled.com

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Scott Cundill, founder of My Most Trusted, a platform that overlays LinkedIn and Zoom to build genuine, trust-based business connections. Scott shares how he grew the business to around $1M AUD annual revenue (equivalent), scaling at 20-30% per year while staying fully bootstrapped. He dives into the power of his 100-100 network strategy, explains how a pilot with BNI Philippines became a turning point for their white-label model, and talks about why he's passionate about creating ethical, human-to-human networking over spammy automation. Scott also reveals how free diving in Okinawa keeps him grounded as he continues to grow his business. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Scott Cundill, the hardest thing in growing a small business is getting enough revenue to keep going, especially to consistently cover staff and operational costs. He also pointed out how tough it can be managing team dynamics — making sure you have the right people who can adapt as the business changes. For him, if you can secure steady revenue and build a team that evolves with you, you're already overcoming the biggest hurdles. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Scott Cundill didn't name a single favorite business book, but said he's most helped by books and resources about understanding different personality types — like those based on DISC, Myers-Briggs, and the Enneagram. For Scott, learning how to quickly read people and spot hidden agendas has been one of the most valuable skills in business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Scott Cundill didn't specifically recommend any podcasts or typical online learning resources. Instead, he highlighted that he finds the most value in tools and materials that help understand personality types, like DISC, Myers-Briggs, and the Enneagram. These have helped him navigate human behavior in business far more than traditional professional development content. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Scott Cundill's top recommendation is his own tool, My Most Trusted. He firmly believes in using it (or at least building the same concept) to create a 100-100 network — that's 100 people you deeply know, like, and trust, each with their own 100 trusted connections, opening up 10,000 warm opportunities. For Scott, this is hands down the best way to grow a small business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Scott Cundill's advice to his younger self on day one would be: “Build your network early and keep nurturing it.” He emphasized that the contacts and friendships you make at the start often become your strongest allies and best business opportunities down the road — just like an alumni network you create for yourself.

Austin was just 18 when doctors told him he'd never lift over 50 pounds again. Doctors told him surgery was inevitable.Diagnosed with two disc bulges (L5-S1 + L4-L5) and sciatica, he faced constant back pain and the looming pressure of surgery. He tried physical therapy, YouTube rehab videos, injections, and everything the traditional system had to offer but nothing worked.Then he found the Limitless Program and was pain-free in 5 weeks (program here: https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-program)In this episode, Austin shares how he completely rewired his mindset around pain and movement. He breaks down what Limitless taught him that PT and YouTube never could - like how pain is information, why there's no one “right” way to move, and how he stopped living in fear of his body.What started with being able to load the dishwasher pain-free turned into walking 9+ miles a day at Disney, reclaiming his lifting goals, and helping others do the same as a strength and conditioning coach.Topics covered:L5-S1 disc herniation and chronic back painHow to heal without surgeryWhy physical therapy and YouTube rehab failedThe mindset shift that changed everythingHow Limitless gave Austin his life backFear of movement vs. confidence through guidanceHow pain is just information — not a life sentenceIf you're searching for:-How to fix an L5-S1 disc bulge naturally-Healing sciatica without surgery-Back pain rehab that actually works-Why physical therapy didn't work for me-How to stop fearing pain and start healing-Functional rehab for athletes-Real stories from people who avoided spine surgery…this episode is for you.Our Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters00:00 Doctors Said I'd Need Surgery01:42 What the MRI Showed: L5-S1 Disc Bulge03:05 “Surgery, surgery, surgery”05:53 Walking Out on Traditional Healthcare07:50 “I Might Never Back Squat Again”09:15 Depression, Isolation, and Daily Struggles12:00 Finding the Limitless Program13:40 First Big Win: Loading the Dishwasher Without Pain15:43 Pain Sucks Physically — But Destroys You Mentally17:57 “Everything I Have I Attribute to Limitless”24:45 I Couldn't Even Drive or Go to the Store44:11 I Don't Fear Pain Anymore — I Fix It1:05:11 Disney Trip I Thought I'd Miss — I Walked 9 Miles a Day

My guest this week is negotiation futurist, bestselling author, and top-ranked negotiation expert Tim Castle. Tim is the founder of Negotiators Edge Training Academy and author of “The Art of Negotiation” and “The Momentum Sales Model.” Tim shares his most effective approaches to high-stakes negotiation, focusing on value creation, building trust, and leveraging the Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA). He also reveals his favorite negotiation tactics, including creating urgency, holding firm with clarity, and operating from a mindset of abundance (not needing the deal). We also discuss the critical role of planning, how AI tools can supercharge your preparation, and why emotional intelligence is every modern negotiator's secret weapon. Outline of This Episode [04:11] Understand BATNA to leverage deals by controlling emotions and fostering collaboration without appearing manipulative. [07:08] Be creative and clear in negotiation; hold firm on your value to persuade and influence effectively. [11:49] Use AI to research and prepare by understanding counterparts' backstories, challenges, and market trends. [14:48] Crystal is an AI tool that analyzes LinkedIn profiles to predict communication styles and offers tips for effective interaction. [17:58] Consistent integrity and champion-led negotiation empower internal advocates to overcome organizational hurdles and drive deals forward. [20:34] Guide clients through open questions to uncover pain points collaboratively, ensuring they buy into the process and solutions. [28:30] Value-based positioning and champion-led negotiation ensure long-term collaboration and significant value creation. [30:14] Strategy gets you in; tactics let you own the situation. Maintain a winning mindset to achieve the best outcomes. The Missing Link in Sales Success Strategies are the big-picture, macro gameplans: they define your end-goal, set your direction, and inform every subsequent decision. As Tim puts it, “Strategy is where you want to go, your desired outcome.” Maybe it's nurturing a long-term partnership, building a multi-phase offering, or expanding the pie in an integrative negotiation. Tactics, on the other hand, are your in-the-moment moves. They're the practical tools—like anchoring price, mirroring, labeling, or using the “give-get” concession model—that support your strategy and help you adapt as the conversation unfolds. The magic, Tim explains, happens when you intentionally align your tactics with your overarching strategy, rather than just reacting or trying to “win” the moment. The Heart of Effective Negotiation At the core of Tim's approach is the idea that negotiation isn't about extraction—it's about value creation. The whole goal of negotiation is about value creation, he emphasizes. Instead of distributive “win-lose” thinking, Tim advocates for integrative negotiation, which seeks to expand the pie and foster collaboration for mutual gain. Knowing your BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) is essential here. When you're clear on your alternatives, you can negotiate free from neediness and emotional intensity, giving you the space to truly listen, build trust, and co-create solutions with your counterpart. Trust-building is Tim's “single biggest competitive advantage” in an AI-driven world. Even as automation and scripts proliferate, genuine human connection and credibility remain irreplaceable. Tim's Favorite Tactics Tim shared his top tactics, each rooted in psychology and practical experience: Creating Urgency: By making your offer time-sensitive, you amplify its perceived value, countering commoditization and focusing the buyer's attention. Not Needing the Deal: When you approach negotiations from a place of abundance (thanks to a healthy sales funnel), you have the flexibility to be creative, collaborative, and less reactive, leading to better deals and relationships. Clarity and Holding Firm: Clearly communicating your value and holding firm helps set boundaries, project confidence, and persuade the buyer of your worth. Vision of the Future (Bonus): Focus on positive, long-term outcomes to keep the conversation optimistic and to reduce emotional tension. The Power of AI and Human EQ Preparation is a non-negotiable for high-stakes deals. Tim recommends leveraging AI to research your counterpart's background, understand market forces, and tailor your approach. Tools like DISC profiling—and platforms like Crystal Knows—can help you anticipate behavioral styles and communicate more effectively. Tim also emphasizes role-playing and exposure therapy as ways to build comfort and resilience when stakes (and emotions) run high. Ultimately, fusing AI with emotional intelligence (EQ) is a winning combination for modern negotiators.

In Episode 204 of the Transition Drill Podcast, retired Navy Captain William Fenick takes us through a deeply personal and inspiring journey of service, identity, and reinvention. From his early days as a high school lifeguard to nearly three decades of active duty in the Navy, Bill's career path was never predictable. Raised in a military household, he shares how family expectations shaped his choices, and how moments of unexpected transition, such as being fired from a civilian job or later laid off from a nonprofit, opened doors to self-discovery.William talks about forging his own identity in the Navy while honoring his father's legacy, navigating a career shift from supply to public affairs, and finding post-military purpose in the nonprofit space including the Navy SEAL Family Foundation and the USO. When life threw another curveball, he turned inward, took a DISC assessment, and uncovered a surprising truth: the role that aligned most with his core identity was the one he started with, lifeguarding. In addition he's started his own company, Government Assessments 24x7 LLC, related to these same assessments, Now back on the pool deck, William reminds us that fulfillment often lives in the places we left behind. This episode is a masterclass in aligning passion with purpose and embracing transition at any age. Whether you're a service member, first responder, or civilian professional, Williams's story offers a roadmap for rediscovering who you are and what really matters.Don't miss an episode.

If you've been tempted by those local boutique closing-down sales flooding your social media feeds, you might want to think twice; the ACCC has issued a warning about ghost stores that aren't what they seem. Plus, ever wonder why you just can't get through to that one colleague? It could all be in identifying your (and their) DISC profile. And in headlines today Victorian state officials have defended their handling of an accused pedophile childcare worker's case after it was revealed he was allowed to continue working with kids despite substantiated claims of misconduct; At least eight Palestinians, most of them children, have been killed and more than a dozen injured, in an Israeli missile strike which the military says missed its intended target; Senior aides to King Charles and Prince Harry have been pictured together in London, in what's reported to be an initial step towards restoring the relationship between Harry and the rest of the royal family; Sotheby’s in New York is auctioning off the largest chunk of Mars known to exist on earth in Wednesday's natural history themed event THE END BITSSupport independent women's media Check out The Quicky Instagram here Read more about Ghost Stores from Gary here Listen to more about DISC profiles on BIZ here GET IN TOUCHShare your story, feedback, or dilemma!

San Mateo 10, 24 – 33"El discípulo no es más que el maestro ni el servidor más que su dueño. Al discípulo le basta ser como su maestro y al servidor como su dueño. Si al dueño de casa lo llamaron Belzebul, ¡cuánto más a los de su casa! No les teman. No hay nada oculto que no deba ser revelado, y nada secreto que no deba ser conocido. Lo que yo les digo en la oscuridad, repítanlo en pleno día; y lo que escuchen al oído, proclámenlo desde lo alto de las casas. No teman a los que matan el cuerpo, pero no pueden matar el alma. Teman más bien a aquel que puede arrojar el alma y el cuerpo a la Gehena. ¿Acaso no se vende un par de pájaros por unas monedas? Sin embargo, ni uno solo de ellos cae en tierra, sin el consentimiento del Padre que está en el cielo. Ustedes tienen contados todos sus cabellos. No teman entonces, porque valen más que muchos pájaros. Al que me reconozca abiertamente ante los hombres, yo lo reconoceré ante mi Padre que está en el cielo. Pero yo renegaré ante mi Padre que está en el cielo de aquel que reniegue de mí ante los hombres.

Comedian and quizmaster Richard McKenzie returns to vie with Liz and Ben for control of the most odorous city on the Disc, as they discuss Martin Wallace's 2011 board game Discworld: Ankh-Morpork. The Patrician has gone missing! This leaves a huge power vacuum in Ankh-Morpork, and several of the most powerful figures in the city immediately start jostling for control. Lords, criminals and vampires position their minions in every district, each on their own path to power - and getting in each others' way. Ankh-Morpork can only remain leaderless for so long - and there will be only one winner... The first of the later Discworld board games, and generally considered by fans the best, Discworld: Ankh-Morpork (or just Ankh-Morpork) is a medium-to-light complexity game designed by Martin Wallace and published by Treefrog Games. Players take turns to play cards, following symbols and written instructions to alter the state of a map of Ankh-Morpork. Each card represents a character or location from the city, wonderfully illustrated by Peter Dennis. If the cards run out, then points are added up - but more likely, one of the players will achieve the secret objective of their “personality”, a hidden role which gives them one of five different victory conditions. Unfortunately the game was only available for five years before Treefrog lost the Discworld license, but it still holds pride of place in many fan collections - and goes for a pretty penny in the secondhand market. Especially the collector's editions! Have you had a chance to play Discworld: Ankh-Morpork? Does it capture the feel of the Discworld, or the city of Ankh-Morpork? Do you have a favourite card? What's missing from the books that you'd love to see added in? And now we've covered all the Discworld board games, do you have a favourite? Or an idea for a new game? Play your cards right by joining our online conversation, using the hashtag #Pratchat87. Guest Richard McKenzie (he/him) has been a comedian in the Melbourne scene for around twenty-five years. As well as writing and performing many solo storytelling shows, he's supported big names like Adam Hills and Ross Noble, written and performed sketches and plays with WATSON and the Anarchist Guild Social Committee, and partnered with Ben for nerd comedy, including the Dungeons & Dragons-themed improvised show Dungeon Crawl. As of July 2025 you'll find Richard hosting trivia at The College Lawn in Prahran on Wednesday evenings from 7 PM, and at The Cornish Arms in Brunswick on Thursday evenings (7 PM, general knowledge) and Sunday afternoons (2 PM, pop culture). Liz's upcoming event to which psychology is relevant is the Sci-Fight comedy science debate for National Science Week, with the topic “Psychology is a Freud”.

“The classic Superman is raised by values—dare I say, conservative values.” CBQ - Who is Superman to you? Episode Summary This episode explores the character of Superman as a metaphor for leadership and values in modern work and life. Juan and Matt unpack the evolution of Superman from pop culture icon to a symbol of moral consistency, contrasting idealism with the cynicism of recent portrayals. Through the lens of DISC and Motivators, they draw parallels between Superman's story and what it means to lead with integrity, especially when sticking to your values invites criticism. [00:07:36] “Why I think most people didn't like the Snyder version—it just wasn't Superman.” [00:08:51] “The classic Superman is raised by values—dare I say, conservative values.” [00:10:01] “You have all these derivatives of Superman that are basically just bad—because they can be.” [00:17:22] “He's a reporter making $75K leading gods and billionaires.” [00:18:27] “Lex Luthor sees Superman the way artists see AI.” Follow Juan on LinkedIn Follow Courtney on LinkedIn Check out CareerBlindspot.com Follow on LinkedIn and Instagram → Your listening perspective matters - 5 min survey.

What happens when you stop trying to be good at everything and instead design your life around what you're naturally brilliant at? Today we dive deep into the revolutionary concept of knowing your genius and strategically organizing your life around it to achieve success that only few can dream of - empowered by AI genius. Breaking coffee plungers might seem like clumsiness, but what if these "flaws" are actually signposts pointing to your natural strengths? The traits that make us "elephants in china shops" in some contexts are often the very same qualities that make us exceptional in others. Those absorbed in deep thinking and pattern recognition might break a few things along the way, but they also see solutions that others miss. This episode walks you through practical steps to identify your natural talents using proven assessment tools like DISC, CliftonStrengths, and the VIA Character Strengths Survey. We show you how to leverage modern AI tools to create personalized systems that both amplify your strengths and protect you from your blind spots. The goal isn't avoiding hard work, it's ensuring your efforts flow in the direction where you naturally excel. Drawing inspiration from Yu-kai Chou's framework in "10 Hours of Play," we explore how extraordinary success comes from following your personal hero's journey. Where are the doors wide open for your particular genius? How can you stop knocking on closed doors and instead find the places where your talents are valued like gold? When you operate in your zone of genius, hard work feels more like play as natural as swimming is for a fish. Ready to transform your approach to success? Take the strength assessments linked in our show notes, explore Cho's book, and use AI to build systems that support your natural brilliance.

When your employees rarely see each other face-to-face, how do you build a strong company culture? Michelle from White Rhino Cleaning Company joins us to reveal the strategies that have helped her 56-employee commercial cleaning operation thrive for nearly three decades.Building culture in field-based businesses requires intentional design. Michelle walks us through White Rhino's approach, from their collaboratively developed core values (community, quality, excellence, equity, and integrity) to their comprehensive communication strategy. The monthly newsletter featuring employee spotlights, regular leadership gatherings, and annual appreciation events create connection points that overcome the isolation field employees often experience.What sets White Rhino apart is their commitment to professional development. Michelle explains how they've implemented DISC assessments to improve team dynamics, created specialized training for "live" versus "closed" cleaning environments, and developed protocols for handling unexpected situations.
