Words That Move: David L. Deutsch aka "The Billion Dollar Copywriter", on the Art of a Lifetime of Persuasion

Send us a textWhat if your copy worked because you thought better, not because you wrote harder? That's the challenge David L. Deutsch lays down as we dive into the craft of response-driven writing—from Ogilvy roots to billion-dollar wins—and the mental models that make persuasion stick in the real world. We go beyond formulas and catchy lines to ask sharper questions: who is your reader, what does their day feel like, and what would actually move them now?David shares how he turns “boring” into compelling by reframing problems and dramatising the cost of inaction, a lesson echoed by the genius behind “Got Milk?”. We explore systems thinking for marketers—mapping loops, incentives, and constraints—so you fix the pattern, not just polish the prose. Music and copywriting meet as he explains pattern recognition, cadence, and structure; improvisation shows up in the yes-and approach that meets readers where they are and guides them forward without friction. And we talk about working with vistas in mind: motion, cities, and the right constraints that free your best ideas.Along the way, you'll hear why “consistently not stupid” beats “very intelligent,” how to write as if you're persuading across a table, and what it takes to make the obvious inevitable. We also touch on legacy—how capturing stories helps those who listen and those who tell—and the long view that puts craft, clarity, and human connection ahead of noise. If you want copy that gets response, these are the habits and mindsets to adopt.Enjoy the conversation, then try this: before you write your next line, map your reader's day, name their stakes, and decide the one action that would truly help. If this episode resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who writes or sells, and leave a review to tell us the one idea you'll use today.Join David at https://www.speakingofwriting.com for free trainings and coaching.

What if the chapter you'd rather skip is the one God is using to shape your calling? We open Genesis 50:20 and sit with Joseph's bold confession—“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good”—to reframe detours, delays, and disappointments as ground where purpose grows. From betrayal to breakthrough, we trace how character formed in hidden seasons becomes strength for public assignment, and how that pattern is alive in our own eight-year journey with Family Disciple Me.Joseph's story gives language to what many of us feel: purpose doesn't vanish in the pit and it isn't guaranteed in the palace; it develops when God remains our focus through every season.This is the story of Joseph, this is the story of the Family Disciple Me ministry, and this is the story each of us can have as we continue to walk with the Lord and "Seek Him Speak Him." So, be encouraged! Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who needs a “but God” moment, and leave a review to help more families discover these tools. Let's keep seeking Him, speaking Him, and trusting that God still intends it for good.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Send us a textWhat if the shortest path to better work is learning to be where your feet are? That's the spark behind our conversation with Matt Zeigler—producer turned financial adviser, community builder, and host of the very excellent "Just Press Record" Podcast —who shows how presence, listening, and thoughtful connections can turn chance into momentum.We trace Matt's arc from teenage gigs and studio life to a mid‑career pivot into finance, where he discovered the same skill set applies: translate feelings into form, complexity into clarity, and fear into decisions. When a singer once asked for “more yellow,” he knew what to do. Years later, executives arrive with different words for the same fog—and Matt helps them find the signal by naming the gap between story and reality.That gap is the heart of Epsilon Theory and Panoptica, where Matt collaborates to decode how narratives shape markets, media, and culture. Think of epsilon as the error term between the map and the terrain—the place where headlines distort, incentives mislead, and human judgment goes sideways. Matt shares how better questions, cleaner language, and subtraction over addition can align plans with reality. It's strategy as craft: roll off the noise, let the truth breathe.We also dive into the “three‑body problem” of networks: you, one other person, and both of your audiences. The math stops behaving, and that's the point. Serendipity compounds when you curate introductions and record the moment, which is exactly what Just Press Record does so well. Along the way we meet his “squirrels” (Premier League football and new music), hear why introverts make strong hosts, and unpack a line that changes lives: “How am I complicit in creating the things I say I don't want?”If you value practical wisdom, human‑centred strategy, and stories that actually help, press play.

UGI Corporation's Global Enterprise Lead, Learning & Development Wendy Laverty shares how “Breakthrough Thinking” is reshaping leadership, structure, and strategy at UGI. She explains how a series of workshops with team members has encouraged intentional reflection, language, and a culture of curiosity that's unlocking new solutions and sustainable change. Show Notes:UGI's Wendy Laverty shares many inspirational and actionable ways to inspire better thinking that leads to sustainable change. Her key points include: Breakthrough Thinking is intentional, not accidental. Leaders at UGI are asking “I wonder why/if/how…” to challenge assumptions, see blind spots, and design new pathways instead of defaulting to past practice.Language shapes outcomes. Words “get caught like colds.” The way leaders speak influences mindsets, behaviors, and results—so UGI is practicing saying the future they intend to create, then aligning actions to it.Structure enables speed. AmeriGas (a UGI company) shifted to a decentralized, pod-based model—returning authority to frontline managers, running weekly problem-solving calls, and using focus groups to surface gaps and improve the system.Trust + feedback fuel change.Transparent, authentic feedback sessions—and a bias toward curiosity over criticism—are building a culture where learning is continuous and leaders model the behavior they want to see.Lead with “both–and” and look ahead to AI-first learning. UGI equips leaders to hold healthy polarities (e.g., candor and diplomacy) and is exploring AI-first learning approaches to personalize development and drive measurable business results. Wendy recommends the following books:Navigating Polarities Using Thinking TransformationLearning RevolutionPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

What if your “waiting place” is actually a greenhouse for growth? In this episode, we explore how God transforms seasons that feel stalled into fertile ground for spiritual, family, and community multiplication—starting with Israel's long stay in Goshen and stretching into the explosive movement of the early church. Instead of treating delay as dead time, we look at how Scripture frames waiting as a season to settle, steward, and sow: settle into faithful rhythms, steward what's already in your hands, and sow the seeds of discipleship that bear fruit over time.We walk through the pattern of multiplication found in Genesis and Acts—the call to be fruitful and multiply, the Israelites acquiring property and increasing, the word of God spreading widely and growing in power. Along the way, we address a cultural reality: our world is downsizing vision, commitment, and responsibility. Against that tide, we cast a hopeful vision for kingdom growth that includes both physical and spiritual children. Whether you're a parent, a single adult, a grandparent, or a young professional, you have a part to play: share the gospel, mentor someone younger, open your home, pray with a student, and bring Scripture into everyday conversations.If your life feels like Goshen right now, take courage. Growth is not postponed until perfect conditions arrive. It begins where you are—one heart, one family, one home, one conversation at a time. We close with practical prompts to help you grow in grace, truth, love, and maturity, and a challenge to make Jesus more famous through ordinary faithfulness. Subscribe at familydiscipleme.org/subscribe for more thoughtful, faith-centered conversations, share this with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others discover this message of fruitful waiting.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Alarms blare, policies stack up, and yet the world still feels unsafe. In this episode, host Tosha Williams helps us look at what's sturdier than locks and warranties. We turn to Goshen—the story of how God set His people apart inside Egypt—and trace a thread of protection that runs across Scripture and into our lives and homes today. Not escape from our problems, but embracing God's Presence within them. In this episode, we start with Genesis then move to Scriptures like Romans 8:31, Hebrews 13:6, and Psalm 18:2, unpacking why confidence grows when we see God as our Protector. Jesus' prayer in John 17:15 reframes safety: we're not removed from the world; we are guarded from the evil one within it. And 2 Thessalonians 3:3 gives the pattern families need to coach our kids to build spiritual muscle in difficult times to prepare for evil times.You'll hear practical ways to teach this at home, move from anxiety to alert hope, and stand firm with a steady, non-anxious presence. We talk about training trust through disappointments, recognizing real threats, and holding tight to the promise of 2 Timothy 4:18: the Lord rescues from every evil attack and brings us safely to His kingdom. If you've been wondering how to live with courage in a chaotic culture, this conversation offers language, Scripture, and rhythms to help you and your family live “in Goshen”—set apart, not sealed off.If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs peace in God's Protection today, and leave a quick review to help more families find their footing.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Send us a textLaughter can be a compass. Sitting with DeCastro—one of the world's best-loved clowns—we step into Why Not Land, a clearing where play is protected, truth has room to breathe, and imagination outruns fear. From South London to Rio's shoreline, she maps an art form often trivialised, arguing with warmth and precision that clowning is education, rebellion, and radical compassion all at once.We journey through the founding of the Why Not Institute, born after Slava's Snowshow and sustained by a fierce belief that clowns are truth tellers, entertainers and subversives. The pandemic cost the Institute its physical home, but not its purpose: keep the archive alive, keep the training accessible, keep the doors open to every line of clowning—circus, theatre, street, musical, spiritual, and rebel. Along the way, DeCastro dismantles the lazy insult that calls selfish power “clowning.” Real clowns risk themselves to say what others cannot, with tenderness and wit.Her practice is anchored by “How to Be a Stupid,” a title that hides a serious proposition: the work is not technique first; it's a state. Intensive training helps students unlearn perfectionism and step into a creative intelligence where failure is feedback and play is disciplined. We talk honour, friendship, and compassion; we talk samba beats that change your heartbeat; we talk Giulietta Masina, Wings of Desire, and painters whose generosity outlives them. There are trees with winter scarves, red motorbikes humming low through London, and bus rides where a stranger's new phone becomes blue because a clown's kindness tipped the scales.What remains is a living legacy. Students write years later from rehearsal rooms and boardrooms, now “stupid in charge” of their own brave choices. DeCastro wants the Institute's next home to be near a tube and open to all, so the archive—props, films, books—can breathe and be shared. Until then, the state of clown keeps migrating: into hearts, spirits and minds that choose curiosity over cleverness and play over posturing.If this conversation moved you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs permission to take fun seriously.

The ground beneath our feet feels shaky right now. Everywhere we turn, headlines scream of violence, deep divisions fracture our communities, and even our families. Apocalyptic predictions circulate wildly, stirring up fear and anxiety. Where can we find solid ground when everything around us trembles?This episode introduces a first way that God took care of His people, as we explore:  "Days of Distinction: How God's Got You in Goshen." God provided safe harbor for His people during chaotic times. Drawing from the biblical account of Goshen—where the Israelites found provision and protection during Egypt's plagues—we discover a spiritual principle that transcends ancient history. Goshen wasn't merely a geographical location; it represents God's pattern of drawing a distinction around His people, saying "I've got you" when the world is in turmoil.When Joseph told his starving family, "You shall live in Goshen and be near me," we can see an example of how God positions provision before crisis hits. This pattern continues throughout Scripture and into our lives today. While the world fixates on shortages and collapse, believers can rest in the promise that God "will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." More than stockpiling supplies or retreating in fear, what our world desperately needs are faith-filled voices testifying to God's faithfulness. Like Joseph, we're called not to hoard God's provision but to extend it generously to others.Ready to experience God's distinction in your life? Join us for this journey and discover how to "Seek Him Speak Him"—first encountering God personally through His Word, then sharing His truth with those around you. When you feel surrounded by chaos, remember you're actually surrounded by the God of heaven's armies, who still provides for His people today.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

BONUS: Nesrine Changuel shares how to create product delight through emotional connection! In this BONUS episode we explore the book by Nesrine Changuel: 'Product Delight - How to make your product stand out with emotional connection.' In this conversation, we explore Nesrine's journey from research to product management, share lessons from her experiences at Google, Spotify, and Microsoft, and unpack the key strategies for building emotionally resonant products that connect with users beyond mere functionality. The Genesis of Product Delight "I quickly realized that there is something that is quite intense while building Skype... it's not just that communication tool, but it was iconic, with its blue, with ringtones, with emojis. So it was clear that it's not just for making calls, but also to make you feel connected, relaxed, and part of it." Nesrine's journey into product delight began during her transition from research to product management at Skype. Working on products at major companies like Skype, Spotify, and Google Meet, she discovered that successful products don't just function well—they create emotional connections. Her role as "Delight PM" at Google Meet during the pandemic crystallized her understanding that products must address both functional and emotional user needs to truly stand out in the market. Understanding Customer Delight in Practice "The delight is about creating two dimensions and combining these two dimensions altogether, it's about creating products that function well, but also that help with the emotional connection." Customer delight manifests when products exceed expectations and anticipate user needs. Nesrine explains that delight combines surprise and joy—creating positive surprises that go beyond basic functionality. She illustrates this with Microsoft Edge's coupon feature, which proactively suggests discounts during online shopping without users requesting it. This anticipation of needs creates memorable peak moments that strengthen emotional connections with products. Segmenting Users by Motivators "We can discover that users are using your product for different reasons. I mean, we tend to think that users are using the product for the same reason." Traditional user segmentation focuses on demographics (who users are) or behavior (what they do). Nesrine advocates for motivational segmentation—understanding why users engage with products. Using Spotify as an example, she demonstrates how users might seek music for specific songs, inspiration, nostalgia, or emotional regulation. This approach reveals both functional motivators (practical needs) and emotional motivators (feelings users want to experience), enabling teams to build features aligned with user desires rather than assumptions. In this segment, we refer to Spotify Wrapped.  The Distinction from Jobs To Be Done "There's no contrast. I mean to be honest, it's quite aligned, and I'm a big fan of the job to be done framework." While aligned with Clayton Christensen's Jobs To Be Done framework, Nesrine's approach extends beyond identifying triggers to practical implementation. She acknowledges that Jobs To Be Done provides the foundational theory, distinguishing between personal emotional motivators (how users want to feel) and social emotional motivators (how they want others to perceive them). However, many teams struggle to translate these insights into actual product features—a gap her Product Delight framework addresses through actionable methodologies. Navigating the Line Between Delight and Addiction "Building for delight is about creating products that are aligned with users' values. It's about aligning with what people really want themselves to feel. They want to feel themselves, to feel a better version of themselves." The critical distinction between delight and addiction lies in value alignment. Delightful products help users become better versions of themselves and align with their personal values. Nesrine contrasts this with addictive design that creates dependencies contrary to user wellbeing. Using Spotify Wrapped as an example, she explains how reflecting positive achievements (skills learned, personal growth) creates healthy engagement, while raw usage data (hours spent) might trigger negative self-reflection and potential addictive patterns. Getting Started with Product Delight "If you only focus on the functional motivators, you will create products that function, but they will not create that emotional connection. If you take into consideration the emotional motivators in addition to the functional motivators, you create perfect products that connect with users emotionally." Teams beginning their delight journey should start by identifying both functional and emotional user motivators through direct user conversations. The first step involves listing what users want to accomplish (functional) alongside how they want to feel (emotional). This dual understanding enables feature development that serves practical needs while creating positive emotional experiences, leading to products that users remember and recommend. Product Delight and Human-Centered Design "Making products feel as if it was done by a human being... how can you make your product feel as close as possible to a human version of the product." Nesrine positions product delight within the broader human-centered design movement, but focuses specifically on humanization at the product feature level rather than just visual design. She shares examples from Google Meet, where the team compared remote meetings to in-person experiences, and Dyson, which benchmarks vacuum cleaners against human cleaning services. This approach identifies missing human elements and guides feature development toward more natural, intuitive interactions. In this segment we refer to the books Emotional Design by Don Norman, and Design for Emotion by Aarron Walter..  AI's Role in Future Product Delight "AI is a tool, and as every tool we're using, it can be used in a good way, or could be used in a bad way. And it is extremely possible to use AI in a very good way to make your product feel more human and more empathetic and more emotionally engaging." AI presents opportunities to enhance emotional connections through empathetic interactions and personalized experiences. Nesrine cites ChatGPT's conversational style—including apologies and collaborative language—as creating companionship feelings during work. The key lies in using AI to identify and honor emotional motivators rather than exploit them, focusing on making users feel supported and understood rather than manipulated or dependent. Developer Experience as Product Delight "If the user of your products are human beings... whether business consumer engineers, they deserve their emotions to be honored, so I usually don't distinguish between B2B or B2C... I say like B2H, which is business to human." Developer experience exemplifies product delight in B2B contexts. Companies like GitHub have created metrics specifically measuring developer delight, recognizing that technical users also have emotional needs. Tools like Jira, Miro, and GitHub succeed by making users feel more competent and productive. Nesrine advocates for "B2H" (business to human) thinking, emphasizing that any product used by humans should consider emotional impact alongside functional requirements. About Nesrine Changuel Nesrine is a product coach, trainer, and author with experience at Google, Spotify, and Microsoft. Holding a PhD from Bell Labs and UCLA, she blends research and practice to guide teams in building emotionally resonant products. Based in Paris, she teaches and speaks globally on human-centered design. You can connect with Nesrine Changuel on LinkedIn.

Rule VI. Distinction between faith and spiritual sense. - Or the spiritual sense that we have of acceptance with God, there are a number parts or degrees; as, first, hereunto belongs peace with God: Rom. v. 1, "Being justified by faith, we have peace with God." This peace is the rest and composure of the soul emerging out of troubles, upon the account of the reconciliation and friendship made for it by the blood of Christ. And it hath, as all peace hath, two parts, —first, a freedom from war, trouble, and distress; and, secondly, rest, satisfaction, and contentment in the condition attained; —and this, at least the second part of it, belongs unto the spiritual sense that we inquire after.
