Podcasts about DMS

In this snippet from Travis Chappell's appearance on the How'd They Do That? podcast, Travis breaks down how investing in himself, seeking mentorship, and starting a podcast transformed his network and business. He shares how he went from knowing virtually no high-level entrepreneurs to building relationships with people like John Maxwell, Tilman Fertitta, and Shaquille O'Neal. Travis also explains why podcasting can be a powerful networking tool, how he used cold outreach and persistence to land high-profile guests, and why rejection is simply part of the process of building something meaningful. On this episode we talk about: Why investing in coaching, masterminds, and mentorship can dramatically shorten your learning curve How starting a podcast became Travis's most powerful networking tool Using a podcast as a way to create genuine relationships and get your foot in the door with high-level people How cold DMs, persistence, and the law of averages can help you land opportunities Building credibility by leveraging relationships with people your prospective guests already know and trust Why rejection is an unavoidable part of entrepreneurship and networking How consistency creates a snowball effect that makes future opportunities easier to create Why Travis believes podcasting remains a relatively untapped opportunity despite perceptions that the space is oversaturated The origin of Guestio and how it helps podcasters connect with guests and shows How podcasting can serve as a forcing function for learning, communication, and personal growth Top 3 Takeaways Invest in yourself before you have assets to invest in. When you're starting from scratch, you are your primary asset. Coaching, mentorship, and proximity to people who have already accomplished what you want can help you avoid unnecessary mistakes and accelerate your learning curve. Create a reason to reach out. Travis discovered that his podcast gave him a natural, mutually beneficial reason to contact people he wanted to know. Instead of simply asking for someone's time, he could invite them into a conversation where he could learn from them while also giving them a platform. Keep asking and let your credibility compound. Rejection is part of the process. The more people you reach out to, the more opportunities you create, and every successful connection makes the next one easier. Over time, persistence, consistency, and social proof can turn cold outreach into a powerful network. Notable Quotes "When you don't have any assets, you are your only asset." "The podcast became like this perfect next step and the perfect foot in the door because it's just an innocent ask." "No is just a not yet."

In this episode, I'm tackling something I see constantly in my DMs and community: the frustrating gap between what practitioners can offer and what clients actually need — and why the "more data" approach that AI has supercharged is often making things worse, not better   What I cover: Why real clinical magic isn't about more data The AI trap: why a 50-page Claude-generated report isn't actually more helpful than a focused, thoughtful plan (and why I see this same pattern in both health and business coaching) Why timeline and health history conversations are non-negotiable  The client's responsibility vs. the practitioner's responsibility  A full client case study: how a "stressed out, can't lose weight" presentation turned out to be Hashimoto's, gut dysbiosis, gluten intolerance, and low progesterone My deep dive into why bodies stall out: thyroid conversion issues, HPA axis/cortisol dysregulation, insulin resistance, dieting history, liver clearance of estrogen, sleep  Hair loss deep dive: thyroid antibodies, full iron panels, androgen patterns, and delayed telogen effluvium Why the wellness industry's business models are burning out even the most skilled practitioners, and the phased-protocol approach I actually use with clients now My take on the Dr. Mary Claire Haver conversation happening online right now, and why I refuse to shrink my work to make other people comfortable Why I built the Simplicity Method to be 50% clinical, 50% business.   Let's dive in!

We survived the subclasses. We survived the wizard subclasses. Now Arcana Unleashed Part 3 asks the truly dangerous questions: What if every wizard got a Pokémon? What if every magical faction agreed that the Ninth Quill sucks? And what if an invisible imp could carry your entire adventuring party through a wall while you relax inside a genie lamp like the world's most heavily armed first-class passengers? This week, we're digging into the rest of Arcana Unleashed, including new backgrounds, feats, spells, magical factions, evolving magic items, monsters, and a dungeon puzzle whose greatest challenge is apparently identifying which end of a snake has the head. Welcome aboard Infernal Air. Please keep your arms, legs, and extraplanar vessels inside the familiar at all times. Show Notes We've covered the Arcana Unleashed subclasses. We've given Tyler an entire episode of wizard content. Now it's time to dig through everything else Wizards of the Coast packed into the book, and there is a lot more here than we expected. We start with the new Arcana Unleashed backgrounds and origin feats, where the results range from flavorful-but-forgettable to options that could seriously change how characters are built. Familiar Friend immediately gets our attention, especially once the rest of the familiar feats enter the picture. Arcane Warrior opens wizard cantrips to characters with Fighting Styles, while the new school-specific Adept feats offer spellcasters ways to steal spells and tricks from outside their usual class options. Then things get weird. Battle Familiar might be one of the strongest new D&D 2024 spells in Arcana Unleashed. It looks suspiciously like Summon Beast, except it does not require concentration, which means there is very little reason not to have one running whenever possible. Add familiar feats, Conjurer interactions, Necromancer options, and Pact of the Chain nonsense, and suddenly your adorable magical pet is an active participant in breaking the action economy. We also discover that Otherworldly Familiar lets a familiar move through walls, which naturally leads to an invisible imp carrying a Genie Warlock's vessel, and potentially the entire party, directly through the dungeon. Congratulations. You have invented Infernal Air and apparently solved dungeon crawling. The new Arcana Unleashed spells keep the chaos going. Detonation inspires the return of bag-of-rats logic, Mordenkainen's Lucubration provides an expensive way to trade higher-level spell slots for lower-level ones, and Summon Dinosaur requires very little explanation because sometimes the spell name is already doing all the work. Beyond character options, Arcana Unleashed includes advice for building magic-heavy campaign settings, creating magical traditions, defining society's relationship with magic, and using group patrons. The magical faction system expands that idea with organizations tied to each school of magic, complete with goals, renown rewards, relationships, player options, and Bastion facilities. Some are noble. Some are creepy. The Crucible Keepers apparently treat magical disasters like sporting events. The Bringers of the Cosmic Dawn have decided transmutation needed more body horror. The Covenant of the Grave gives necromancy a surprisingly thoughtful treatment. And nearly everybody hates the Ninth Quill because, as it turns out, being an organized magical crime syndicate is not a great way to make friends. We also dig into the new D&D evolving magic item rules. There are several premade examples, a simple system for upgrading items into higher-rarity versions, and a more flexible framework for adding new powers as an item grows. The concept is useful, particularly for DMs building long-term rewards, even if we wish the book gave us a lot more material to work with. Arcana Unleashed also brings back creatures like the baelnorn, introduces archmages themed around the schools of magic, and includes the level 1 adventure Tomb of the Shadow Serpents. Venger has apparently created a multiversal dungeon-based recruitment program where surviving a few traps and assembling three pieces of a snake qualifies you for employment in an evil organization. Which explains a lot about Venger's career. By the end of our Arcana Unleashed Part 3 review, the mechanics remain the strongest part of the book. The feats offer some genuinely interesting character-building options, the familiar material could have a major impact on D&D 5e character optimization, and the spells contain several standouts. The magical factions and worldbuilding material provide useful starting points for DMs, while the evolving magic item system feels like a good idea that we wish had been given more room to grow. And Battle Familiar probably needs concentration. Seriously. Key Takeaways Arcana Unleashed adds ten backgrounds and origin feats, with Familiar Friend standing out because it dramatically improves familiar survivability and unlocks the book's additional familiar feats. Arcane Warrior gives Fighters, Paladins, Rangers, and other characters with Fighting Styles access to wizard cantrips, opening up plenty of new D&D 2024 character build options. The school-specific Adept feats provide new spells and magical abilities, effectively offering lightweight versions of the eight schools of magic to characters outside the Wizard class. Battle Familiar is one of the biggest mechanical standouts in the book. Its lack of concentration creates extremely powerful interactions with familiars, summoners, Conjurer Wizards, Necromancer Wizards, and Pact of the Chain Warlocks. The Arcana Unleashed magical factions give DMs ready-made organizations for Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, and Transmutation, complete with renown rewards and faction-specific Bastion facilities. The new evolving magic item rules provide a solid framework for D&D campaigns where weapons, armor, wands, and other magical equipment grow alongside their owners, although the system could use more examples and options. Tomb of the Shadow Serpents is a simple level 1 dungeon crawl built around Venger recruiting adventurers for future schemes. The loot is surprisingly generous, the encounters are straightforward, and the snake puzzle may be the greatest threat ever posed to player overthinking. Overall, Arcana Unleashed Part 3 reinforces the book's biggest strength: mechanics. The feats, spells, familiar options, and character customization tools are much stronger than the lighter worldbuilding material, and several options look likely to become significant parts of the D&D 5e 2024 optimization landscape.

In this episode, we sit down with Deborah, who grew up in rural California and now lives in a South Dakota town where Bigfoot sightings are regularly reported.Deborah recounts a terrifying night at her family's remote cabin near Lake Tahoe in the 1960s. During a snowy winter night, something prowled outside and violently thrashed against the cabin, tormenting the family for hours. By morning, mysterious scratches and claw marks had been left behind—marks unlike those of any known big cat, bear, or other native animal. This disturbing evidence convinced the family that the elusive Sasquatch may have been responsible.She also takes us inside her unusual childhood growing up in a military family. Deborah believes her father worked on highly classified technology—work that appeared to leave him deeply paranoid. For years, she assumed his behaviour was unique to him, until she recently met someone whose father had worked alongside him and displayed many of the same troubling tendencies. Deborah also reveals her family's extraordinary military history, including her great grandfather, General Karl Wolff who worked closely with Adolf Hitler. Finally, Deborah shares stories from one of the strangest periods of her life: working in an intensely haunted thrift store. Paranormal activity was an almost daily occurrence for Deborah and her coworkers, ranging from unexplained disturbances and ghostly apparitions to direct communication with unseen entities. It was a workplace that seemed as though it had been lifted straight from a Stephen King novel.Was the thrift store situated near some kind of portal, or were haunted objects unknowingly being brought through its doors? Join us as we explore Deborah's incredible experiences with Bigfoot, secret military technology, family mysteries, and the paranormal.Welcome to Let's Get Freaky Podcast!

Back in Australia! In this 5-Minute Friday, I’m checking in from Bondi Beach to clear up my recent travel whirlwind, AKA why I bounced between Sydney and LA, and preview the upcoming live show with Coach Bennett for the Nike After Dark Tour. Plus, we dive into the psychology of staying consistent on the road. After receiving a bunch of DMs about signing up for a local gym pass right after the marathon, I’m sharing the mindset behind it: where there is a "why," there is a way—and why motivation almost always follows action, not the other way around. Later, I answer a great listener question: Is running really for everyone, and should everyone run a marathon? I break down why anyone with a body who runs is a runner (pace and distance don't matter!), why you never need to chase someone else’s finish line, and the power of pursuing movement that genuinely feels good to you. Prompt of the Week: What goal is lighting you up right now? Whether it’s a big milestone, a habit change, or a short-term challenge, reach out and let me know on social.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:48  Welcome, Be It babe, to the Fuck Yeah Friday episode that has no script at the beginning. I just wing it every time, and I wung it so poorly. You'll probably hear a blooper in this episode because I. Oh my god! Normally, don't record the FYFs on Tuesday afternoons because normally that's when Brad and I would record a recap. So I think my brain is like, "Oh, it's Tuesday. You're in the pod room. You must be recording a recap without your husband. It's Friday, and we take some time to just be a human being. Don't have to be learning. We can be living. We can be celebrating what we did do together, and you know I got to get a little thing off my chest with you. Hopefully, you're in your car nodding along and understand my pain. Then I share one of your wins, and then you get to send. You get to be inspired by someone's win. You send it in to me. Lesley Logan 1:35  So, okay, here's the deal. There's this weird thing that's going on. So, for those who have been on Instagram for a long time, meaning of like being on Instagram, like you didn't have to have a ton of followers, but like everybody wanted to send you a pair of leggings and then give you 10% off as your discount, but also you would sell the leggings and then you would get affiliate money, right? And so years ago, was everyone and their mom was literally in my DMs trying to get me to wear their fucking leggings. Send me a free pair, and then I just have to post, and I get to have an affiliate link and make three cents, right? So that was annoying. Fast forward to okay. Now I actually want to be intentional about the companies I collab with. I want to make sure it's things that we want to tell you about. So being intentional about doing my research, trying the product, reaching out, being an affiliate for them, and then for them to go, you actually haven't sold enough of the product, so we're going to cancel your affiliation with us. So by not selling enough of the product, they wanted 20 sales in a month. You guys, someone have to have a million followers for that because most people know it takes seven to 10 hours of somebody understanding your brand before they buy something from you. So seven to 17 touch points at the least for some purchase. And so I was so frustrated because it has been 30 days. What'd you think I was going to talk about your stuff all day long every single day? Like this is QVC? No. And so it was just so annoying, and it gave me such a bad taste with the brand because that's just you know I would never do with my affiliates. If you want to be an affiliate of ours, we have it for our flashcards and we have it for Agency, and then we have referral bonuses for eLevate and for the retreat. And if you want to be, we don't go. You have to have minimum sales to get a thing. No, what I have seen is if you do really, really well, you might get better payouts. But to just completely drop the people who've been talking about you because they didn't do a good enough job? Weird. I just think it's weird. I think it's gross. It's not. It's and then all these companies like women supporting women. Fuck you. No, you're not. Because you would just allow me to be an.Lesley Logan 3:37  If you saw me using my affiliate just to buy stuff at discount, okay, that is one thing, but to just feel you can keep talking about we're not going to pay you because you didn't. I don't know something about it just really irks me because wait, that's not that's not how things go. And you know, there's been other companies have taken really really good care of me, really really amazing, and then they got rid of their affiliate program. Very different thing, very very different thing, and so this is not me bitching about that stuff. It's just like the ones you. I don't know. I just think why can't I just tell people about the product that I love and then maybe one a month come to you? Maybe that's it, right? Maybe get one a month. Maybe actually my people already buy your stuff and they're like, oh, Les likes to do it. I'll keep buying more, but you'll never know, right? It's just weird. I don't know. Why can't we just all get along? Why can't we all support each other? That's all. That's what this complaint is about. Lesley Logan 4:25  All right. So my win, my win because I think I've like hit that pinata to death. So I had an invitation to do something that, to be honest, would have actually been fine and aligned with the business, and we would have made it work, and probably would have made some good money on it. And I said no because it was going to affect my well-being and my commitments to myself, and my sleep, and my routines. And I have so many friends who work for themselves who will just say yes to every speaking gig, and they will just work from every hotel, and they just wear this badge of busy. And I cannot do that. And it's really interesting because, like, there is this fear that can come up. Oh my god! If I tell people I'm going to say no to things, then people will stop asking me. And I'm sure that's true. I guess it could happen. But I also really do believe that this is not advice for you if you're brand new at the thing you're doing, okay? But I've been doing this for a long time, a long time. I've been doing this a long time, and I also did so much travel, and then no travel because of pandemic, and then a little bit travel, and then so much travel, and I love it, and I would love to go everywhere all of the time. I'd love to say yes, and the truth is, is that I can't do the good work that I'm doing and say yes to every single thing. So I said no to this thing. I said I can't do it this time, but please keep me in mind for the rest, for other things. You know, it's not a never. It's just not a today, and send them on with some other support. And then I didn't feel bad about it, and I also think that that's a win. Like, whoa, wow, what, what? I'm I got rid of some level of insecurity that was vibrating in my brain. Got rid of that somewhere along the way, and I don't know when, but when I did this, I didn't buzz in. Oh my God, you're gonna invite again? Do you want to be invited? Nope, not not insecure at all. So that's my win. That's my win. I said no, I didn't feel bad about it. So see how easy a win can be? Lesley Logan 6:25  Now let's do a win of yours. You can send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions. Okay, same link for everything. Questions, topics. The questions we answer on YouTube, but the topics we do podcast episodes on or find guests.

In this episode, we welcome Sam Shearon—the Liverpool-born British artist, writer, and director whose haunting vision has left an indelible mark on the worlds of horror, science fiction, cryptids, folklore, and the unexplained. Creator of the chilling Creepy Christmas and Sinister Seasons, Sam has produced artwork for iconic titles including The X-Files, Judge Dredd, Hellraiser, and 30 Days of Night.Sam takes us deep into his own extraordinary encounters, beginning with a mysterious UFO hotspot in Los Angeles where those who dare to look skyward may witness something unexplainable. He also recounts a remarkable close encounter with a UFO while travelling through France with friends—an experience that defies easy dismissal.We journey with Sam across the United Kingdom and the United States as he explores some of the world's most remarkable and reportedly haunted locations. These include Chillingham Castle, widely regarded as one of Britain's most haunted castles, where Sam recently spent the night.He also shares a spine-chilling experience near Mount Rainier, where something sinister appeared to be watching him from the treeline.From haunted castles and unexplained lights in the sky to Bigfoot and elusive creatures lurking in the wilderness, this conversation plunges headlong into the darkness—where the boundaries between art, legend, and the unknown become terrifyingly thin.Welcome to Let's Get Freaky Podcast!

Found a research article that was food for thought on how warmer autumns may be having effects on our bees that aren't so good: creating smaller late-winter clusters by increased wear and tear on the precious winter bees who should not be as active as the temps drive them to be. But also, it goes into novel solutions (well, not novel in Canada but novel in more Southern climes) to help. Do backyard beekeepers have any options to help? I do some thinking aloud about all that and pondering on an unexpected potential benefit of insulation perhaps? Here is the original study if you take those straight-up-no-chaser (looking at you Susan S! ;-) : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-55327-8 For a reader friendly overview that will help you then dive into the research paper: https://news.wsu.edu/press-release/2024/03/25/honey-bees-at-risk-for-colony-collapse-from-longer-warmer-fall-seasons/ Also: for my past episode on Condensing Hives vs Ventilating Hives see Ep 122 *Ep 122: New Insulation Setup and The "Condensing Hive"* A deeper dive into the why and how of the insulation setup I started using several years ago, the condensing-hive concept.

TikTok Shop launches are not simply a matter of listing a product and sending samples to creators. In competitive categories, the offer, economics, creator strategy, social proof and launch velocity all have to work together.Jordan West sits down with Matthew Gomes for a consulting-style breakdown of an amino acid supplement brand launching into one of TikTok Shop's more difficult categories.They unpack how the brand is approaching AOV, bundle strategy and creator acquisition while competing against an established category leader. Matthew also shares the relationship-driven outreach system his team uses to get the attention of high-value creators, including DMs, comments, email and other channels.The conversation also covers supplement compliance, using retail presence as social proof, turning negative reviews into content ideas, increasing purchase frequency through offer positioning, and using Selico to generate the initial sales and reviews needed to get a new TikTok Shop moving.The core lesson: TikTok Shop growth comes from orchestrating the inputs you can control — your offer, margins, creator relationships, content volume and social proof — rather than waiting for a viral moment.Need help scaling your TikTok Shop?Visit https://socialcommerceclub.comSubscribe for more TikTok Shop, GMV Max and social commerce strategies.

WIN TICKETS TO THE RAVE OF YOUR CHOICE! We’re dropping clues ALL WEEK to reveal the Adelaide lineup for the 5 Raves in 5 Days 10th Anniversary Tour!

Join me and author Ann Aguirre to talk about her latest book, The Hocus Pocus Handbook. The book follows Thea, a human member of the Winter Court. After being replaced with a changeling as a baby, Thea has grown accustomed to the ways of faerie - their customs and rules, and the ways she can bend the rules for her own acts of “good trouble.” But when she takes things a little too far, she's forced on a quest with the broodiest knight in the court. With the threat of being exiled back into the human world looming over her head, Thea must find her missing betrothed and try not to fall in love with someone else in the process.Aguirre and I had chatted about how she tied in heavier themes of classism, privilege, and The Other to her cozy fantasy. Afterall, who decides what's cozy? We explored this theme of The Other through Thea, the main character, but also through Kerboros, the brooding enforcer for the Winter Court who's trapped in servitude as punishment for his father's crimes. The more they work together to find her betrothed, the more they start to understand each other, which threatens the very thin ice they've found themselves on.Buy The Hocus Pocus Handbook now: https://bookshop.org/a/54661/9781464224119Learn more about Ann Aguirre here: https://www.annaguirre.com/Be sure to like, subscribe, and leave a review!If you have an author, book, or topic you want to hear about on the podcast, then don't hesitate to slide into my DMs on Instagram or shoot me an email!Subscribe to my newsletter to keep up to date on the latest podcast happenings: https://in-bed-with-books.kit.com/76d11f1d51Where else to find me:IG: @inbedwithbookspodYT: https://www.youtube.com/@InBedWithBooksPodEM: inbedwithbookspodcast@gmail.com

The workshop is where we build your version of this: ► The next workshop: https://capitalism.com/bootcamp Huel sold to Danone for $1.15 billion and most of the internet missed it. Julian Hearn was in his mid-40s coming off a website that lost him money, he launched by posting in a Facebook group, and his first 2 orders went out of his own garage. I break down the 3 things that got him from there to a billion-dollar exit, and the one he never traded away: he treated the community like it was the asset.

You're at the end of your launch, the cart is about to close… and you haven't hit your sales goal. Cue the spiral, right? In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly what to do in the final 24–48 hours of cart close so you can stop freaking out and actually maximize the momentum you've already built. We're talking: The one "lazy girl" move that will close more sales than anything else (and almost no one does it) Why your audience is not ignoring you — they're just busy, human, and waiting for a clear deadline How to send "last call" emails and posts that feel clean, honest, and non-manipulative Practical ways to invite DMs, questions, and conversations so buyers can finally get out of their heads and into a decision What to do after cart close — extending, sneaking people in, downsells, upsells, and how to do it in integrity The real work of launch season: managing your emotions, disappointment, and attachment without abandoning your people or your vision If you're in a launch right now (or ever plan to do one again), this episode will help you stop making yourself wrong, normalize the chaos, and make it way easier (and more profitable) to sell at the end. Hit play and let's turn your "oh fuck" cart close energy into "of course this sold" energy.

Steven Pope explains why forced brainstorming makes content harder and how real customer questions, DMs, emails, support issues, and Amazon problems can become useful video ideas.

In this gripping episode, we sit down with Tyrone Ellington—a historian, mythologist, independent researcher, combat-wounded veteran, and the creator of Rebirth of the Word.Driven by a lifelong curiosity about our ancient past, Tyrone investigates the hidden connections between early civilizations, their gods, and their origin stories. Through his website, podcast, and bestselling book, Journey Through the Origins of History, he explores Mesopotamian, Mesoamerican, Norse, African, and Indigenous mythologies and cosmologies.His research takes us deep into ancient texts, forgotten symbolism, and remarkable cross-cultural parallels—touching on the Anunnaki, Atlantis, giants, extraterrestrials, Bigfoot, the paranormal, and the enduring mystery of humanity's true origins.We explore the experiences that first sparked Tyrone's fascination with these extraordinary subjects. He also opens up about his military service, sharing powerful and deeply personal insights from his deployment in Afghanistan.Then, we confront a chilling question: Could giants be hiding in the mountains? Tyrone takes us inside the legend of the Kandahar Giant as we examine the astonishing claims surrounding one of Afghanistan's most mysterious modern stories.Tyrone also reveals his thoughts on the paranormal and recounts his own startling encounters—experiences that blur the boundary between the everyday world and the unexplained.Welcome to Let's Get Freaky Podcast!

What if your most useful keywords are not hiding inside another research tool, but in the questions, complaints, and conversations your customers are already sharing? In this episode of The Simple and Smart SEO Show, Crystal Waddell talks with Kelly Miller, also known as Health Coach Kel, about listening beyond the analytics to understand what people actually need.Kelly brings together her experience in marketing, ecommerce, SEO, health coaching, and product development to explain why DMs and comments can be a goldmine for customer language. Crystal and Kelly also explore social SEO in a zero-click search environment, the risks of posting and ghosting, and how to use autoresponders without losing your personality or your audience's trust.The conversation closes with a practical reminder for overwhelmed business owners: growth does not always require adding another tool, offer, or task. Sometimes the smartest move is to remove what is not serving you, listen more carefully, and focus deeply on one right-fit customer or problem.What You Will LearnWhy DMs and comments reveal customer motivations that keyword-volume data cannot fully explainHow posting without engaging can disconnect you from your audience and weaken your market researchWhy social platforms matter as Google and other search experiences provide more answers without a website clickHow to use ManyChat, autoresponders, and team support while remaining clear about who is respondingWhy your lived experience and applied knowledge can become a credible, differentiated point of viewHow better follow-up questions uncover the obstacle behind a customer's stated problemWhy auditing what you can remove may create more progress than adding another strategyHow narrowing your focus can reveal more relevant opportunities within one audience or offerEpisode TimestampsProduction note: These timestamps begin with the conversation audio. Adjust them if a separate introduction or advertisement is inserted.Time | Topic0:00 | Meet Kelly Miller, also known as Health Coach Kel0:45 | Kelly's journey from marketing and ecommerce to health coaching2:30 | Why DMs can be more valuable than keyword tools3:44 | The problem with posting and ghosting5:13 | Social SEO and the rise of zero-click search6:47 | Using ManyChat and autoresponders without losing your voice8:08 | Why transparency builds trust in DMs and communities12:04 | Owning your perspective instead of borrowing authority12:55 | Finding better questions by listening to customer problems15:30 | Remove before you add18:03 | Auditing your day, priorities, and business focus20:42 | How customer listening changed Kelly's cookbook concept23:01 | Why getting really good at one thing creates momentumKey TakeawaysCustomer language adds context to keyword data. Search tools can show demand, but direct conversations reveal the feelings, objections, and immediate problems behind a search.Engagement is research. Responding to comments and participating in adjacent communities can improve customer understanding, product development, and visibility.Automation still needs a human voice. Simple, transparent automated messages can help a solopreneur respond efficiently without pretending every reply is personal.Your perspective is part of your authority. You do not have to continually reference a larger expert when you can explain what you learned, applied, and discovered yourself.Focus creates relevant expansion. Going deeper into one customer, product, or problem can uncover a connected set of content and offer opportunities.Episode Highlights and Quotes from Kelly:“Let's be messy. Let's be ourselves.”“What are you willing to give up to get what you want?”“I believe 100% you gotta focus and get really good on one thing.”Listener Action StepsReview your last 10 DMs, comments, emails, or sales conversations and highlight the exact phrases customers repeat.Choose one repeated question and turn it into a useful post, email, podcast topic, product-page section, or FAQ.Audit one automated message. Make it shorter, make it sound like you, and clearly identify automation or team members when needed.Remove one tool, task, or offer that is taking energy away from the customer or problem you most want to serve.Subscribe to The Simple and Smart SEO Show for practical visibility strategies designed for small business owners.Resources and MentionsHealth Coach Kel: https://healthcoachkel.comSimple and Smart SEO: https://simpleandsmartseo.comOur Rooted Kitchen: Learn more through Health Coach Kel's website and social channelsTools mentioned: ManyChat, Ubersuggest, Surfer, ChatGPT, and ClaudeAbout Kelly MillerKelly Miller, also known as Health Coach Kel, helps busy women build greater confidence and capacity around food, energy, and everyday life.

Plus, we're getting into turn-ons, instant icks, relationship patterns, and why the internet can't seem to understand that women can actually support each other without agreeing on everything.Some red flags whisper. These were screaming.Content warning: This episode includes discussions of domestic violence, sexual trauma, and emotionally abusive relationships.Watch Full Episodes & More: YouTube

She'd been following the show for almost 10 years, and she had one question:“How can I best start preparing for global surgery, especially in places like Ghana?”That question deserved more than a simple reply. It deserved an entire episode.So I'm sharing what I've learned from 14 years of humanitarian surgical work at KNUST University Hospital in Kumasi, Ghana, alongside International Healthcare Volunteers.You'll hear:→ Why global surgery is the truest test of your surgical foundation→ The #1 mistake residents make when they arrive (and why it destroys everything)→ How to start preparing RIGHT NOW. Not in fellowship, not as an attending, NOW→ What to look for in a global surgery program (and the red flags to avoid)→ What your first trip will actually look like. The OR, the clinical experience, and the emotional reality→ What 14 years of showing up consistently has taught me about this work For general surgery residents, all surgical specialty residents, medical students, and any physician who has ever thought about doing meaningful work beyond their hospital walls. "Global surgery is not a break from your training.

The link is in the show notes. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Member of the American Diabetes Association… are now boycotting it. The notice of the boycott condemns leadership's actions after five researchers were removed by police from its annual meeting in June. Significantly, The editors of ADA's flagship journal, Diabetes Care, have joined on in support of the boycott. "Manuscripts submitted will not be handled until the boycott is over," said Steven Kahn, MBChB, the journal's editor in chief and one of the five researchers ejected from the meeting in New Orleans, in a LinkedIn post on Thursday. Kahn told MedPage Today that "the journal boycott is like establishing a picket line. The boycott already has hundreds of signatures of people who have pledged to suspend all ADA-related activities, including: Planning or attending any meetings led by ADA leadership or the board, including the 2027 ADA Scientific Sessions Participating in board-led activities regarding the investigation of the meeting's events, or the report generated by the "so-called 'independent' committee" Engaging in all other ADA operations, including presentations, fundraisers, grant reviews, manuscript reviews, journal management, manuscript submissions, and position statements The boycott will remain active until the ADA board of directors permits an independent formal review of the organization's structure and function to ensure it "properly represent[s] its professional membership." If demands are not met, signees plan to align with existing or newly formed medical societies. https://www.medpagetoday.com/endocrinology/diabetes/122977 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4h548X9qXgkVREQ71k2gDHiU8WFAFF78wTnmS20_ntwUM0w/viewform XX A new patch pump is coming to the US.. Beta Bionics, Inc. announces FDA clearance of Mint, the Company's patch pump featuring a transformative reusable and disposable architecture that does not require recharging, integrates with industry-leading continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and enables smartphone control for iOS and Android users. The Company expects to initiate the full commercial launch of Mint in the United States in the first quarter of 2027 Mint is expected to launch exclusively through the pharmacy channel. Also announced, that Eversense 365 is now compatible with Beta Bionics Senseonics expects development of the Eversense 365-iLet integration to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2026. Commercial launch is planned following completion of integration activities in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to required testing, validation activities and applicable regulatory requirements. No word yet on timing for Eversense with Mint. https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/09/14/tmt-newswire/globenewswire/beta-bionics-announces-fda-clearance-of-mint-the-companys-transformative-patch-pump-and-unveils-3d-intelligence-as-its-next-generation-insulin-dosing-algorithm/2424457 XX Seven years after Johns Hopkins researchers discovered a previously unknown immune cell called the "X cell," they're now exploring whether that discovery could lead to a new treatment for type 1 diabetes. In preclinical studies, researchers developed an antibody that was able to target and eliminate specific immune cells responsible for attacking the pancreas's insulin-producing beta cells, while leaving the rest of the immune system intact. The researchers say the approach is especially promising because it could potentially reverse the autoimmune process soon after a type 1 diabetes diagnosis, rather than simply managing blood sugar. The work is still in the early stages and has not yet been tested in people; additional laboratory and preclinical studies are needed before human clinical trials can begin. sclerosis.https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/09/09/federal-funds-support-type-1-diabetes-treatment/ XX A new international consensus recommends routine screening for type 1 diabetes in the general population, offering the first framework for how healthcare providers could put widespread screening into practice. The guidance recommends screening children between ages 2 and 4, with children who test negative screened again at ages 6–8 and 10–15. Screening uses a blood test to look for islet autoantibodies, which can signal that the immune system is attacking insulin-producing cells years before symptoms appear or insulin is needed. Finding type 1 diabetes early can greatly reduce the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA, at diagnosis and may give people access to treatments such as teplizumab that can delay progression to clinical T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-convened-paper-outlines-first-international-consensus-guidance-on-general-population-screening-for-early-stage-type-1-diabetes-302875788.html   XX Eating only between noon and 8 p.m. improved blood sugar control in a small study of adults with Type 1 diabetes and obesity, while avoiding an increase in serious complications. The promising findings offer the first evidence that time restricted eating could become another tool for managing the condition. For the study, Varady recruited adults with Type 1 diabetes who were also classified as obese After six months, the time-restricted eating group showed better blood sugar results than the calorie-reduction group. HbA1c, a blood test that reflects average blood sugar over the previous several months, fell by about 0.5% on average in the time-restricted group.   Couple of things here – very small study, only 32 people in total, who were then randomly placed in three groups with different styles of eating. Also, the lead researcher says this is the first study of it's kind for type 1 – which is obviously not true – you can do a quick google search or listen to past episodes of this show.. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260909231740.htm XX A large Danish study found that COVID-19 infection was associated with a slightly lower, rather than higher, risk of subsequently developing type 1 diabetes in people under age 30. Researchers studied more than 2,100 people diagnosed with T1D and found an overall 16% lower risk following a documented COVID infection, with the strongest association—a 42% reduction—seen 31 to 180 days after infection. The reduced risk appeared primarily among people who had not been vaccinated against COVID-19, although researchers cautioned that the vaccination findings were less certain. Importantly, this was an observational study, so it cannot show that COVID infection actually protects against type 1 diabetes or explain what caused the association. Researchers say the findings conflict with some earlier studies and should be investigated in other countries and populations. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260908/COVID-19-linked-to-lower-subsequent-risk-of-type-1-diabetes.aspx   XX   Semaglutide, a medication widely used for type 2 diabetes and weight loss, may also provide an unexpected benefit for people with asthma. New research presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Barcelona, Spain, found that semaglutide use was associated with a reduction in asthma attacks of nearly 40%.   The study was led by Professor Chloe Bloom, Clinical Associate Professor in Respiratory Epidemiology at the National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London, UK, and presented by Dr. Bohee Lee.       Exploring GLP 1 Drugs and Lung Health   Dr. Bloom said: "GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. Previous research suggests that they may have anti-inflammatory effects and may improve lung-related outcomes. However, asthma and COPD outcomes have not been included as outcomes in GLP-1 drug trials.   "We wanted to use real-world health records to investigate whether people with asthma or COPD who started GLP-1 receptor agonists had fewer acute respiratory attacks."   To investigate that question, the researchers analyzed electronic medical records from the UK. They carried out four parallel studies, each involving between 20,000 and 22,000 people who had started treatment with either a GLP-1 medication or a different type of diabetes drug known as a sulfonylurea.   The results suggested that people with airway diseases such as asthma and COPD who received GLP-1 therapies experienced fewer asthma attacks and COPD flare-ups than comparable patients who were prescribed other diabetes medications.   Semaglutide Showed the Strongest Effect   Among the GLP-1 drugs examined, semaglutide appeared to stand out, particularly for people with asthma.   Bloom explains: "The effect was strongest with semaglutide, especially in people with asthma, where use of semaglutide appears to be associated with nearly a 40% reduction in asthma attacks. Semaglutide also led to a 20% reduction in COPD flare-ups."   The findings suggest that people who already qualify for GLP-1 receptor agonists because they have obesity or type 2 diabetes could potentially receive an additional benefit for their respiratory health.   However, Bloom emphasized that the results are not enough to recommend these medications specifically as treatments for asthma or COPD.   She explains: "The findings from this study are encouraging, but they should not change treatment decisions on their own. People with asthma or COPD should not start GLP-1 receptor agonists specifically for their lung condition outside current prescribing guidance. While the findings suggest that some people taking GLP-1 receptor agonists may experience fewer respiratory attacks, this needs confirmation in clinical trials." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260909005155.htm XX XX A large study suggests women with endometriosis may have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed health records from nearly 3 million women in Utah and found those diagnosed with endometriosis were 46% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those without the condition. The association was strongest among women who had not yet reached menopause and those without obesity, a group typically considered at lower risk for type 2 diabetes. Certain forms of endometriosis, including those found outside the pelvic area, were associated with more than twice the risk. Researchers say more study is needed, but the findings suggest endometriosis may have health effects beyond the reproductive system and could eventually help identify women who may benefit from earlier diabetes screening. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/endometriosis-may-increase-type-2-diabetes-risk   XX MiniMed files FDA submission for it's first patch pump, with a planned launch next summer. To be called MiniMed fit, it would have a 300-unit insulin reservoir and would accommodate up to seven days of wear time. MiniMed also completed enrollment of a pivotal trial for a fully closed loop algorithm, which would calculate the amount of insulin a person needs throughout the day, even if they don't announce meals or count carbohydrates. Interestingly, on an investor call, the CEO acknowledged that CGMs have been their – quote – Achilles' heel for a very long time" and that their newest sensor has helped drive insulin pump growth. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/minimed-submits-new-patch-pump-for-fda-clearance/829313/ XX A new study based on national health registers in Denmark suggests starting statin treatment after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis could lower the risk of dementia, and it seems that the sooner patients did, the better. The research, published in The Lancet Regional Health, is an observational study, meaning it can find statistically relevant patterns at the population level, but doesn't necessarily explain what caused those patterns. The results, however, were interesting enough that the researchers, led by medical doctor Tummas Ternhamar of the Copenhagen University Hospital, are urging doctors to consider statin therapy when diagnosing type 2 diabetes patients. "Statins seem to be underused in patients with type 2 diabetes, despite their protective effects against cardiovascular disease." https://www.sciencealert.com/statins-linked-to-lower-dementia-risk-in-massive-type-2-diabetes-study XX Big sports news with type 1. Alezander Zverev wins Family was at the heart of Alexander Zverev's U.S. Open triumph on Sunday as the German saluted the members of his inner circle and paid a heartfelt tribute to his mother for refusing to let diabetes define his future. The ​top seed beat American Ben Shelton 6-3 7-6(2) 5-7 6-2 at Flushing Meadows to finish a spectacular year at ‌the Grand Slams in which he proved his doubters wrong by going from perennial nearly man to two-time major champion. Shortly after his victory, Zverev reserved special praise for his mother Irina, a former professional tennis player, and credited her with ensuring type 1 diabetes never limited his ambitions in life. "When your 4-year-old son is diagnosed with diabetes and doctors in the office ​tell you that life and sports will be very limited for that child, it takes a very strong mother to ​say 'my son will be whatever he wants to be'," Zverev said. "'If he wants to be a tennis player, ⁠he'll be a tennis player. If he wants to do something else, he'll do something else, but this illness will not define us'. https://www.reuters.com/sports/tennis/zverev-hails-mothers-belief-after-us-open-triumph-2026-09-13/ XX Also, shout out to Garrett Mitchell (Center field  Milwaukee Brewers) lives with Type 1 Diabetes and hit a grand slam immediately after having a failed insulin pump site. He was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 9. And I have a T1d mom friend who's known him since he was a kid. Just great to see athletes talking about failed insulin sets like they're just part of everyday life.. because they are. Btw it was the first grand slam for the brewers all year. XX The new Netflix movie The Runner is getting a bit of a side eye from some in the diabetes community… the Gal Gadot thriller features a child with type 1 but as usual, there are some weird inaccuracies. Ginger Vieria from Diabetes nerd has a great vide on this – I'll link it up: but they're saying things like Insulin Dispenser instead of pump.. and some other weird stuff.. but I've heard such bad things about this movie I'm not sure it's worth watching just for this. Ginger's video is though! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/o8cw_gEZj5s

You’ve earned your seat on that drum riser, even when four people in the crowd know the Bonham parts better than you do. Dave Hamilton and guest co-host Skylar Hamilton (his daughter) look back on Dave’s summer of gigs, starting with a Led Zeppelin and Heart tribute for about 600 people. A shaky moment in Heartbreaker turns into a drum solo nobody rehearsed, and a derailed Living Loving Maid turns a careful recital into a real rock show. Less than a week later, a Casual Gravity night in Laconia starts with six fans and a nearly empty room and ends packed by the third set. Two rules made that happen: don’t punish the people who showed up, and play for the crowd that’s not in the door yet. Skylar sums it up with the question you should ask every time you walk on stage: are you going to bother to be here, or should you just go home? Then Skylar picks your questions for Stump the Music Geek. You’ll hear how to juggle a day job and multiple bands (put everything on the calendar), what to do when a private-gig client wants to swap six songs 72 hours before the show, the contract clauses that turn last-minute requests and overtime into extra pay, and why one bandleader needs to make the final call on stage. The Sales 101 speed round covers following up with venue managers, what to do when 20 booking emails get no reply, asking for the no like an auctioneer, visiting a venue as a customer when nobody answers your DMs, and getting local businesses to back your band. Play the fill, set the expectation, and Always Be Performing. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 551 – Monday, September 14, 2026 September 14th: National Rosa Tequila Day Guest co-host: Skylar Hamilton 00:02:40 The lessons of perspective: Zeppelin/Heart Underground gig 00:20:16 SPONSOR: Hims.

New information in the Nancy Guthrie investigation!On True Crime with Jen Coffindaffer FBI, Jen revisits the reasons social media has focused so heavily on Annie and Tommaso Cioni and shares information she says she recently received and vetted.One key revelation: according to the source Jen interviewed, there was never an elder-abuse case opened against Annie or Tommaso involving Nancy Guthrie. Jen also explains the meaning behind the case-management card left at their residence and why it appears to have been standard protocol—not evidence that they were under investigation.Jen is now turning her attention to the many tips and DMs she has received, including information from a private investigator who says they struggled to get their information to law enforcement.Could one of these tips contain a critical clue?#BreakTheCase #NancyGuthrie #AnnieCioni #TommasoCioni #NancyGuthrieInvestigation #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #MissingPerson #MissingPersons #ColdCase #UnsolvedMystery #JenCoffindaffer #CrimeInvestigation #JusticeForNancy #CoffindafferFBI

Greg has a bone to pick. His satirical "Lake America" Nissan commercial got pulled off the air after the phones lit up, and he opens the show on why being offended is a choice. Jade, the deal slayer, is in the chair for all three hours, and Money Mike takes over the second hour.The spine of the show is one rule: if you cannot explain the deal simply, it is probably not a good deal. Dealers who can't convince you will confuse you. A good deal is one breath. A bad deal needs a spreadsheet and a guy in a short-sleeve dress shirt. If it doesn't fit on a napkin, walk away.Hour two is money. Steve wants to pay cash for a used Rogue Platinum and Greg won't let it go, which sets up the whole hour with Money Mike. Then Tony in Vaughan calls in with $1.3 million in the bank, no mortgage, a defined pension, and a 3.7% return, and gets an on-air intervention. As Greg puts it, being good at accumulation doesn't mean you're good at growth. Also: Alan on whether to break his mortgage, Don with half a million and no trust left in advisors, Dylan who lost $200,000 on penny stocks at 28, and the calculation that puts Jade at $2 million by 65 for $500 a month.The car calls: John choosing between a 4Runner, a Pilot and a Pathfinder, Jim's 2019 Pacifica, Anil on the new Rogue hybrid and Toyota's manufactured scarcity, Rose deciding between an Acura ADX and a Lexus UX when the Kicks would do, Susan's 14-year-old E350, and David's scrap Buick. Plus a ten-year-old-tires text, Greg's summer diving for sea snails in Chile at 13, Jade on living alone for the first time, the guy who keeps sliding into her DMs, and Greg's verdict on what all her exes have in common.IN THIS EPISODE1:19 — Good morning, slackers2:58 — The "Lake America" commercial, and why being offended is a choice7:15 — John: 4Runner, Pilot or Pathfinder, and is the 4Runner $25,000 better?14:18 — Jade's ChatGPT bestie has a name15:40 — Jim's 2019 Pacifica: "Cars don't break down.

In this compelling episode, we sit down with Rev. Michael J.S. Carter — ordained interfaith minister, Master of Divinity graduate from Union Theological Seminary, author, and longtime UFO experiencer. A frequent consultant and guest on History Channel's Ancient Aliens, Carter has also appeared on Coast to Coast AM, George Noory's Beyond Belief (Gaia), Steven Spielberg's Abduction Diaries (Sci-Fi Channel), The Real 4400, and other major programs. His groundbreaking book Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible (praised by Whitley Strieber as “the best book ever written on the subject”) topped Amazon's UFO charts and explores ancient religious texts through the lens of non-human intelligence. He has authored additional works including A New World If You Can Take It, Initiation: The Spiritual Transformation of the Experiencer, and others that bridge spirituality, consciousness, and contact.Carter opens up about his extraordinary journey into high strangeness, beginning with his first dramatic visitation by a Gray alien in his New York City apartment on December 28, 1989. What followed was a cascade of encounters with a diverse range of entities — classic Grays, reptilian beings, Nordic types, and even a praying mantis-like intelligence. These experiences led him to undergo hypnotic regression, unlocking deeper memories of abductions and interactions that stretch back to childhood.Prepare for a profound, eye-opening conversation that challenges the boundaries between faith, science, and the unknown as Rev. Carter shares how these contact experiences transformed his understanding of reality, spirituality, and humanity's place in a populated cosmos.http://michaeljscarter.comWelcome to Let's Get Freaky Podcast!

We'll explore the different ways songwriters have used the idea of slipping—from heartbreak and relationships to mistakes, memories, and moments that seem to disappear right before our eyes.We'll look at the stories behind some memorable songs, the artists who made them famous, and the surprising connections between music and one little word that can take us in so many directions.So hold on tight… because this episode might just slip away from you!

It's Friday, which means it's time for Shoot Around. Before getting into the usual nonsense, Robert Horry, Rob, and Harp pause to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, sharing where they were that morning and how it shaped their generation the way JFK's assassination shaped their parents'. Then it's back to business as usual: the power outage that hit the SMU-FSU game right before kickoff leads to a rundown of the worst stadiums the guys have ever played in or visited, from a swaying old Orange Bowl to a Georgia Tech campus with no Wi-Fi.   Plus, the guys react to the wild story of a man who used a fake NFL persona to scam 26 women out of over a million dollars, Robert tells a story about a former teammate who ran the same play at the club for years, and the crew debates whether ESPN putting a random fan on camera at a college football game is doing more harm than good.   It's the usual mix of laughs, hot takes, and Robert almost getting caught by his wife — Friday wouldn't be Friday without it.   00:00  Intro: It's Friday, It's Shoot Around 00:47  Remembering 9/11, 25 Years Later 06:57  FSU's Power Outage & the Worst Stadiums They've Played 13:45  The Fake NFL Player Catfishing Scandal 15:38  The Teammate Who Faked Being an NBA Player 18:09  The Viral “Hot Girl” Camera Moment Debate 21:40  DMs, Marriage, and Getting Caught in the Bit

It's a rainy day in Gotham and Big Jay notices something about the ladies on the street today. With the song "A Girl Like You" playing in his head, Jay gets titillated and the catchphrase of the summer is born. Bobby and Jay take callers and ask them when was the first or best time you've ever seen "sick jigglers?" A peticularly amorous camper slides into Bob's DM's with lude photos of herself as Jay directs the poses. They also create a name for the fellas. If one is surprised by the nudity of a man, it's because they saw his "happy hanger." *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

We revisit our September 11, 2001 audio, Lindsay Clancy jurors break their silence, North West's live shows, hypocrite Billie Eilish, Uganda snubs Prince Harry, and an Ole Miss fan spawns a boner army. Jason Benetti sure does love a good rain delay. Chicks on the Lindsay Clancy jury are extremely disappointed with the guy who wouldn't vote to acquit. Her husband, Patrick, might take legal action since being blistered online. Turns out Constance Fisher was a bad mother too. Drew continues to go down the 9/11 rabbit hole as he consumes 9/11: One Day in America on Hulu. We roll through the audio as it happened on September 11th, 2001. The 9/11 surfer lives on in our minds. North West sucks at music. People, mainly adults, need to stop going to her concerts. Wheel of Fortune's announcer Jim Thornton is finished in the business. Sara Smith is really hot and was filmed during an Ole Miss game. Horny suitors are sliding into her DMs. New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart and his hot girlfriend are making cringy TikToks and he better stop to focus on contributing to BranDon's fantasy team. Dannielynn Birkhead has entered her goth era. We miss Anna Nicole Smith. Billie Eilish hates billionaires. Billie won't cave to those pesky Native Americans. She is selling stinky perfume for big bucks. Billy Baldwin absolutely hates Sharon Stone. Uganda has bailed on the Invictus Games. King Charles is not walking on Megshells or missing around anymore.  Turns out this murderer Karmelo Anthony guy isn't such a good person. Chris Rock has no plans on showing up to the Oscars again. Will Smith has yet to recover professionally. Michigan is getting a bit of crap for storming the field after that wacky win over Western Michigan. Lane Kiffin is causing a ruckus in college football. We wrap with a little more from the infamous day in 2001. Merch is available if you want to rep the show. You'd look amazing too. If you'd like to help support the show… consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (Drew Lane, Marc Fellhauer, Trudi Daniels, Jim Bentley, BranDon, and Roberto).

Now that the world has reacted to Leah Remini joining RHOBH, each, mostly, of the RHOBH current cast speak out with various messages for Ms. Remini as she prepares to film.  Jax and Brittany leak each others DMs and texts, as Brittany gets a restraining order, Jax denies all and the casts of VPR and The Valley weigh in. Shannon Beador hates her RHOC job. The world demands 9/25 become Dolly Parton Day. Harry Styles slays at MSG. Last, but sure not least, Dorit has a message for Tracy Tutor in light of their past differences. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: REAL REAL - realreal.com/velvetrope ($25 Off Your First Purchase On The Most Trusted Name In Authenticated Luxury Resale)  SMILESET - smileset.com/velvet (Get 35% Off The Smile Of Your Dreams) INDEED - indeed.com/PODCAST (Seventy Five Dollar $75 Sponsored Job Credit To Get Your Job The Premium Status It Deserves)  PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance)  WAYFAIR - wayfair.com (Join Wayfair Rewards Today To Get 5% Back On Every Purchase & Start Saving On Your Next Home Upgrade)  POM - pomwonderful.com (Check Out POM Wonderful Antioxidant Super Teas)  MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door)  QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury)  LOLA BLANKETS - lolablankets.com (Use Code VELVET To Get 40% Off The Most Comfortable Blankets Ever!)  ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198  Learn more about your ad choices.
