Steve V. and Kodi are back in studio for a fun, sexy Pride Week follow-up conversation. Steve and Kodi continue the Pride Week conversation by asking: What happens when sex stops feeling shameful and starts feeling like yours? The hosts talk about entering their shameless era — becoming more confident, more direct, and more honest about what turns them on. The hosts talk about the founder of Nasty Pig, David Lauterstein and embracing his Daddy era and his nudge to his fellow men of a certain age to get out and just be confident wherever you are... From flirting and DMs to hookups, attraction, confidence, and knowing what you want, Steve and Kodi explore how sex changes as gay men get older. They discuss the difference between youthful sexual energy and earned sexual confidence — and why getting older can actually make you bolder, sexier, and less apologetic. The conversation gets into what they're no longer embarrassed about, what turns them on now, and how confidence itself may be the ultimate kink. Plus: Pride, aging, desire, directness, daddy energy, and the freedom of no longer needing to be everyone's fantasy.

In this gripping episode, we welcome Courtney Reece, the acclaimed host of the Jaunty Haunts Podcast, for a raw and revealing conversation about the supernatural world she has navigated in secret for decades. A multifaceted talent—actor, dancer, singer, florist, and passionate podcaster—Courtney has long captivated audiences with her vibrant personality. Now, she steps fully into the spotlight with a powerful confession: “I have been hiding my true self for 30 years, and it's time to come clean. I see ghosts!”From childhood onward, the paranormal has been an undeniable part of Courtney's everyday reality. Spirits appear to her in many forms, often when others see nothing at all. In this deeply personal interview, she shares the experiences that shaped her life and launched her into the world of paranormal exploration.One of the most haunting memories from her early years involves a chilling encounter in a supermarket: a full-bodied apparition resembling a “flannel man” stood staring directly at her while her mother remained completely unaware. Courtney opens up about the constant challenge of living with heightened sensitivity—learning to discern between living people and entities that cross into our realm—and the emotional toll that uncertainty can take.She also recounts darker encounters, including time spent in a residence plagued by malevolent forces. Demonic entities seemed to terrorize the occupants, and later revelations about the property raised even more questions. Given her connections to the entertainment industry, could ritualistic or cult-like activities have played a role in the haunting?The tension peaks with a terrifying incident on a New York subway, where a man appearing possessed by an evil entity attacked her—and then something evil tried to follow her home.These encounters are not just spine-tingling; they offer profound insight into what it means to live openly with psychic abilities in a world that often dismisses them.Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

Hey Heal Squad! If you've ever wondered how people find the strength to keep going after life completely changes, this episode is for you. Today, Maria sits down with Kelly Rizzo…multimedia personality, founder of Eat Travel Rock, and host of the Comfort Food podcast. Many of you may also know Kelly as the wife of the late Bob Saget, the beloved comedian and Full House icon who passed away unexpectedly in 2022.What started as a conversation about coffee (yes, Maria and Kelly compare their favorite coffee orders!) quickly turned into a powerful discussion about purpose, love, resilience, and what happens when life doesn't go according to plan. Before Kelly became a voice for people navigating grief, she was rebuilding her own life… spending more than a decade chasing her passions for food, travel, and music—often questioning whether she should keep going. Kelly shares why success isn't about followers, fame, or going viral. It's about passion, consistency, patience, and building something meaningful one step at a time. Then we get into the love story. Kelly shares how Bob first slid into her DMs, why she initially resisted dating him, and how he spent four nights winning over not just her—but her entire friend group. In classic Bob fashion, he even brought John Mayer along on one of their early dates to help give Kelly the official stamp of approval. It's funny, sweet, unexpected, and a side of Bob that most people never got to see. Kelly also opens up about the relationship they built together, why she believes Bob had finally found the love he had been searching for, and the moments that made their marriage so special. And just before we pause for Part 2, Kelly shares the beginning of the story that changed everything—the final night she spoke to Bob, an eerie connection to an episode of And Just Like That, and the feeling that something wasn't quite right. We'll leave it there for now. But in all honesty, this is a beautiful conversation about taking chances on love, trusting your path, and remembering what truly matters. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS When Life Falls Apart, A New Life Begins: Kelly never planned to become a voice for people navigating grief. But her story is proof that sometimes the biggest detours end up leading us exactly where we're supposed to go. Slow Growth Builds Lasting Success: Kelly spent more than a decade creating content, chasing opportunities, and trusting her passions without any guarantee it would pay off. Her story is a reminder that meaningful success is usually built slowly, one consistent step at a time. The Right Person May Not Be Who You Expected: Kelly never imagined she'd end up falling in love with Bob Saget. Their story is a reminder that love doesn't always fit the picture we've created in our minds—and sometimes the greatest relationships begin when we stop trying to control the outcome.

John is joined by Myles Smith and producer Peter Fenn to discuss how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘My Mess, My Heart, My Life'. Myles Smith is a singer-songwriter from Luton in the UK. Performing at local open mic nights since his teens, he built a loyal fan base and landed a record deal with Sony thanks to cover versions he posted on Tiktok. In 2024, Myles' single ‘Stargazing' was a viral hit and has since been streamed over one billion times globally. The momentum of ‘Stargazing' and other early singles helped establish Myles as one of the UK's most promising new artists. He won 2024's BBC Introducing Artist of the Year and the BRIT Rising Star Award and is only the second artist, after Lewis Capaldi, to sell out London's 02 Arena before releasing a debut album. ‘My Mess, My Heart, My Life', his debut, produced by longtime collaborator Peter Fenn, arrived in June 2026. Sitting down at Salvation Studios in London, the trio discuss “getting out of the way of the song” as their approach to production on the album and how billion-streaming hit ‘Stargazing' evolved into something really special in the studio. They explain why they prefer to be “in the box” when it comes to mixing, and reveal how they translated Myles' original acoustic tracks into anthemic live performances, including “Myles Sauce” vocal techniques! Plus they answer questions from our Patrons!

Ever walk away from a DM conversation thinking, "I just gave away an entire coaching session and they still didn't become a client?"   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm giving you a little tough love because the way most coaches are handling their DMs is quietly costing them clients—and they don't even realize it.   I see this all the time. A coach gets a message from someone who's struggling, and because she's genuinely caring and wants to help, she immediately jumps into coaching mode. She gives advice, offers strategies, sends voice notes, and pours her heart into helping. But then nothing happens. No sales call, no client, and the coach is left wondering why being more helpful isn't leading to more business.   If you've been giving tons of value in the DMs, feeling drained, or hearing a lot of "thank you" but not getting clients, then this episode is for you.   Resources Mentioned: Save your seat on the FREE DM Dollars live business training: https://products.ambershaw.com/dm-dollars-v2 Join the waitlist for ReNewU, the step-by-step business roadmap for women who are DONE guessing and finally ready to build a profitable coaching business: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist Listen to Episode 479.

With this episode, I'm prepared to ruffle some feathers. I hope you have thick skin, but this conversation is absolutely necessary, and I am incredibly passionate about it. Lately, everywhere I look on social media, I see small business owners posting Reels, TikToks, and memes making fun of how frustrating, exhausting, or annoying their customers are. They complain about customers asking too many questions, taking up too much time, or interrupting their day. This completely blows my mind. On one hand, I hear entrepreneurs constantly talking about how slow sales are and how desperately they need customers. But on the other hand, they are publicly mocking the very people keeping their doors open. We cannot say we want growth while simultaneously acting irritated that customers even exist. Even if you aren't posting this online, I want you to look deeper: How do you talk about your customers behind the scenes with your team? How do you think about them when you get home at night? I'm not throwing blame without looking in the mirror. When I ran my retail store, I had days where I got frustrated and, to my regret, complained to my team. But we have to change our mindset. Customers are not an inconvenience to your business; they are your business. Without them, you don't have a business—you just have inventory and bills. Key Takeaways from the Episode Your Customers are Watching Your Social Media: That "relatable" video mocking customer behavior might get laughs and likes from other business owners, but your actual customers are seeing it, too. When they see that content, they hear: You are a burden, and we don't want to help you. Why would anyone spend money where they feel unwanted? You Don't Sell a Unicorn Product: Whether you sell shoes, jewelry, candles, or clothing, customers can buy it somewhere else—Target, Amazon, or the boutique down the street. They choose your business because they want connection, experience, and service. Customer Service is the Business: Answering questions, helping people make decisions, and building trust isn't an interruption to your task list. It is the task. 5 Ways to Train Your Team to Appreciate Customers If we want better customer relationships, it has to start internally with our leadership and trickle down to our teams. Here are five practical ways to recalibrate your internal culture: Remember Who Writes the Paycheck: I don't write my team's paychecks; the customers do. Employees need to understand the direct connection between the customer experience and business survival. Stop Celebrating Sarcasm and Complaining: If leadership complains about customers behind the scenes, employees absorb that rotten mindset. Instead, actively celebrate positive customer stories and wins. Train Emotional Intelligence, Not Just Sales Skills: Teach your team how to actively listen, remain patient, read a customer's energy, and make people feel seen. View Questions as Buying Signals: Do not get annoyed when a customer asks a million questions. Questions mean interest and curiosity. An inquisitive customer is a massive opportunity, and they are far more valuable than a silent customer who walks right out. Build a Culture of Hospitality over Customer Service: Customer service asks, "How do we complete this transaction?" Hospitality asks, "How do I make this person feel?" Final Thoughts Setting healthy boundaries, having closing times, and protecting your peace is perfectly okay. You don't have to answer DMs 24/7 or let people mistreat you. But we must communicate our boundaries with kindness. People will remember how your business made them feel far longer than they will remember what they bought. The businesses that win long-term aren't always the cheapest or the trendiest; they are the ones that make their customers feel deeply valued.

Pricing comes up in our community more than almost anything else, in the coaching calls, in the DMs, in the late-night worries. The reason is simple: pricing touches everything. Your confidence, your client experience, your time with your family, your ability to keep this business going for the long haul. For this best-of episode, we pulled five conversations from the Season 5 archive that, side by side, give you a complete picture of how to think about what you charge. In This Episode: The four pricing tiers and what each one actually requires, so you can build a business that fits the photographer you want to be What "enough" really means for your life, and why naming your freedom figure is the thing that lets you breathe Why raising your prices is never enough on its own, and the client experience work that has to hold the new number up How to say your prices out loud with confidence and move past the money blocks that keep so many of us quiet What a full pricing transformation looks like from the inside, twelve months in, including what finally moved the needle Pricing isn't just a number on your website. It's the thing that gives you room to do your best work and the thing that gives you your life back. Whether you're staring down a price increase or just tired of guessing, these five conversations are your reality check and your permission slip, all at once. Each of these women is connected to TMA in some way, whether as a mentor, a featured educator, a coaching week guest, or a member who let us walk alongside their transformation. If these conversations leave you wanting to be in the room where this work happens between episodes, this is your invitation.

With this episode, I'm prepared to ruffle some feathers. I hope you have thick skin, but this conversation is absolutely necessary, and I am incredibly passionate about it. Lately, everywhere I look on social media, I see small business owners posting Reels, TikToks, and memes making fun of how frustrating, exhausting, or annoying their customers are. They complain about customers asking too many questions, taking up too much time, or interrupting their day. This completely blows my mind. On one hand, I hear entrepreneurs constantly talking about how slow sales are and how desperately they need customers. But on the other hand, they are publicly mocking the very people keeping their doors open. We cannot say we want growth while simultaneously acting irritated that customers even exist. Even if you aren't posting this online, I want you to look deeper: How do you talk about your customers behind the scenes with your team? How do you think about them when you get home at night? I'm not throwing blame without looking in the mirror. When I ran my retail store, I had days where I got frustrated and, to my regret, complained to my team. But we have to change our mindset. Customers are not an inconvenience to your business; they are your business. Without them, you don't have a business—you just have inventory and bills. Key Takeaways from the Episode Your Customers are Watching Your Social Media: That "relatable" video mocking customer behavior might get laughs and likes from other business owners, but your actual customers are seeing it, too. When they see that content, they hear: You are a burden, and we don't want to help you. Why would anyone spend money where they feel unwanted? You Don't Sell a Unicorn Product: Whether you sell shoes, jewelry, candles, or clothing, customers can buy it somewhere else—Target, Amazon, or the boutique down the street. They choose your business because they want connection, experience, and service. Customer Service is the Business: Answering questions, helping people make decisions, and building trust isn't an interruption to your task list. It is the task. 5 Ways to Train Your Team to Appreciate Customers If we want better customer relationships, it has to start internally with our leadership and trickle down to our teams. Here are five practical ways to recalibrate your internal culture: Remember Who Writes the Paycheck: I don't write my team's paychecks; the customers do. Employees need to understand the direct connection between the customer experience and business survival. Stop Celebrating Sarcasm and Complaining: If leadership complains about customers behind the scenes, employees absorb that rotten mindset. Instead, actively celebrate positive customer stories and wins. Train Emotional Intelligence, Not Just Sales Skills: Teach your team how to actively listen, remain patient, read a customer's energy, and make people feel seen. View Questions as Buying Signals: Do not get annoyed when a customer asks a million questions. Questions mean interest and curiosity. An inquisitive customer is a massive opportunity, and they are far more valuable than a silent customer who walks right out. Build a Culture of Hospitality over Customer Service: Customer service asks, "How do we complete this transaction?" Hospitality asks, "How do I make this person feel?" Final Thoughts Setting healthy boundaries, having closing times, and protecting your peace is perfectly okay. You don't have to answer DMs 24/7 or let people mistreat you. But we must communicate our boundaries with kindness. People will remember how your business made them feel far longer than they will remember what they bought. The businesses that win long-term aren't always the cheapest or the trendiest; they are the ones that make their customers feel deeply valued.

For years, we've been taught that growing a business means creating more content, being more visible, and showing up on every platform imaginable. But what if the real opportunity for growth isn't more marketing at all? What if it's becoming more intentional about sales? In this episode, I'm diving deeper into the concept of Sales Maxxing and why I believe it's one of the most powerful shifts a service provider can make.The good news is that sales maxxing isn't about becoming pushy, sending awkward DMs, or turning into someone you don't recognise. It's about paying attention to the opportunities that already exist around you. Following up properly. Managing conversations with confidence. Understanding objections. Building relationships. Creating emotional safety. In short, it's about treating sales as a skill rather than something that happens by accident.We also talk about why so many business owners avoid sales in the first place. Marketing feels safer, more creative, more comfortable. Sales, on the other hand, can feel vulnerable. But when you learn how to hold the energy of a sales conversation, ask better questions, and guide people through decisions, everything starts to change. You stop waiting for sales to happen and start creating opportunities for them.If you've been pouring hours into content creation but still feel frustrated by your results, this episode will help you shift your focus. Not away from marketing entirely, but towards the activities that help people move from interest to commitment. Because growth rarely comes from doing more. Often, it comes from paying attention to the things that matter most.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat sales maxxing looks like in practiceWhy marketing alone won't grow your businessHow to follow up without feeling awkward or pushyThe role emotional safety plays in sales conversationsHow to handle objections more confidentlyWhy active selling creates more opportunities than passive visibilityThe habits that help you build a consistent sales rhythmSalient Quote"People will buy from you when you create emotional safety."If today's episode has sparked something for you and you're curious about building a business that's easier to sell, easier to buy from, and a lot more enjoyable to run, come and join the guest list Parade On Tour, my new 90-day sales club, to get early access and special pricing before doors open to everyone.

Building a successful nutrition business does not always require more followers, more one-on-one clients, or more hours worked. Sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from getting clear on who you want to serve, creating offers that align with your passion, and learning how to market and sell with confidence. In this episode, Deanna sits down with registered dietitian Liz to discuss her journey from a busy insurance-based private practice to launching a successful group program for runners. Liz shares how she navigated a niche pivot, overcame fears around selling, created her first signature group offer, and built a business model that gives her more freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment as both a business owner and a mom. Tune in to hear: Why Liz decided to shift her focus from disordered eating counseling to performance nutrition for runners How she knew it was time to invest in business coaching after getting stuck just short of her first $10K month The mindset shifts required to stop filling every available hour with one-on-one clients Why creating space in your schedule can actually increase revenue over time The importance of niche clarity and how identifying a specific sub-niche transformed her marketing How speaking directly to experienced runners helped her attract the right clients The difference between posting content consistently versus posting with a clear strategy Common fears practitioners face when considering a niche pivot Why you do not need a large social media following to generate significant revenue How Liz launched her first group program with only around 200 followers on her running-focused account The structure of her signature program, The Run Fuel Method How she sold four spots in her first group launch and generated more than $5,000 in revenue The power of discovery calls and learning how to confidently sell your services How nurturing conversations in DMs led to additional private-pay clients Why private-pay packages created more freedom and sustainability than insurance-only services The pros and cons of working with insurance platforms like Fay The role accountability played in helping her prioritize marketing and business growth activities How reducing one-on-one sessions helped eliminate burnout and restore excitement for her work The impact entrepreneurship can have on family life, flexibility, and being present with young children The biggest lessons she learned about investing in herself and taking action before feeling fully ready Connect with Liz: https://www.harvestnutritionllc.com/  https://www.instagram.com/harvestingnutritionllc/ https://www.instagram.com/runningdietitianliz/    Connect with Deanna: Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy   Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program? Apply to OEA Scale

From bar-hopping at CMA Fest with Jason Aldean's band to scheduled high school fights at 3 pm sharp, this episode of Try That in a Small Town is all about chaos, consequences, and the crazy ways we somehow survive it all. The guys kick things off with surgery scars, locked-up backs, and near misses in the garage, then pivot into behind-the-scenes CMA Fest stories, in-ear monitor nightmares, and why late-night stadium sets grind down even veteran players. They talk Morgan Wallen flipping pianos and throwing phones, Taylor Swift's historic new country single tied to Toy Story 5, and how modern country production has become so “perfect” it's almost personality-free. Things get heavier when they unpack the Carmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf stabbing at a track meet, race narratives in the media, and what real self-defense is—and isn't—when someone pulls a knife. They contrast that with a powerful small-town hero story: a Gwinnett County officer who saves a 7-year-old launched through a windshield. In classic TTIAST fashion, the crew rounds it out with songwriting pet peeves, delusional DMs from strangers wanting co-writes and video calls, bullying stories that still haunt them, and how golf, TV binges, and pizza reviews are getting them through recovery. 01:30 Surgeries, brutal bruises, allergic reactions to bandages and upcoming product bans in Tennessee 04:40 Locked-up back on the toilet, crawling across the house and day-three recovery status 06:30 Surviving CMA Fest: bar crawl sets, in-ear monitor disasters and playing blind on stage 09:45 Bar energy vs stadium distance and podcast fans popping up at shows 11:15 Late-night stadium headlining slot, fried fans, and what TV does to show times 14:00 Original Glory and Patriot Mobile sponsor segments 15:10 Learning piano one-handed after surgery, Jingle Bells, and mining TV shows for song ideas 17:50 TV recs: Life After Lockup, The Invisible Pilot, and Cape Fear reboot 20:20 NBA and Stanley Cup talk: Knicks' huge comeback, Wembanyama, and why some tuned out the NBA 22:45 Trump at the Garden, celebrity courtside culture, and politics vs respect for the office 24:40 Taylor Swift's Toy Story 5 country single and the business behind her return to the format 29:00 Why modern country records all sound the same and the few acts still using their own bands 31:40 Morgan Wallen: “I Ain't Coming Back” lyric love, phone toss, piano flip and Billy Joel's defense 36:30 Wild private plane trip with Morgan Wallen, crass “rich buddies” and what stuck with Kalo 38:20 Post-surgery meds, apologizing to Neil, and the nurse/dong/stripper one-liner 41:10 Group shave before a heart cath and hospital humor 42:00 CMA Fest nights with Luke Bryan at his bar, tequila overload and four-day hangovers 44:10 Dipshits of the week: insane video chat requests, song pitches, and social media entitlement 47:00 Fans demanding co-writes and “brain picking” vs actually earning a seat at the table 50:40 The worst song “idea” ever: Cats in the Cradle… but backwards 55:00 Young writers sliding into DMs, asking for writes and coffees, and basic industry etiquette 58:40 Nearly gassing yourself in a closed garage while checking mixes: calling dipshit on yourself 1:01:40 Drone-rescue story: Apache down, surviving in the water and next-level military tech 1:05:30 Golf injuries, steroids on the road, and fighting to stay in playing shape 1:07:10 The Carmelo Anthony–Austin Metcalf stabbing: facts, sentencing and race narratives 1:12:10 Media framing, self-defense vs murder, and how race gets injected into every case 1:16:00 Scheduled school fights at the park, bus brawls and why nobody brought knives back then 1:19:40 Getting drilled in the face for knocking a kid's basketball away: lesson learned 1:20:30 One cold jab to the nose and understanding when you've gone too far 1:22:10 The bully who made you fast: getting wrecked in pickup football and later asking for tickets 1:24:20 Small Town Big Story: Officer Ariana James saves a 7-year-old thrown from a truck in Gwinnett County 1:26:10 Closing: Peacemaker Coffee, shoutout to listener Ed, scheduled fights and listener call-to-action ______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

My book The Great Unlearning turns three this week and somewhere along the way, it stopped feeling like mine and started feeling like yours... In this solo life-update episode, I'm getting into a little bit of everything: what it's actually been like watching the book take on a life of its own through your DMs and emails, the rebrand I'm genuinely so proud of (Soul Sister Collective is now The Monthly Reset), an honest dating update after the best stretch I've had in years, why I don't actually think everyone should quit their job and become an entrepreneur, and why after a 2025 spent living overseas across the US, Europe, Bali, Vietnam and India I'm choosing to put down roots.

Marketing and sales have developed a bit of a reputation problem, and honestly, it's not hard to see why. Between pushy sales tactics, fake scarcity, endless funnels, and enough Stripe screenshots to make anyone suspicious, many business owners have started questioning whether the traditional online business playbook is still working.In this conversation, Sydney sits down with marketing and sales mentor Polly to talk about what happens when you throw out the guru tactics and build a business around trust, relationships, and actual human connection. They dive into the unique challenges neurodivergent entrepreneurs face, why human-first marketing is becoming more important than ever, and how sales can feel less like manipulation and more like genuine service.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:FREE community & weekly lives for coaches + practitioners w/ ADHD: https://pollypollock.thrivecart.com/procrastinationstation/The Neuropreneur Rising Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6rPWIyZD9FbN0SHNtPq5Ym?si=f7bfe30906f141a5Come chat with Polly in the DMs: https://www.instagram.com/pollypollockofficial/Work with Polly: https://www.neuropreneurrising.com/nfsaSydney's FREE Content Chaos Reset: https://www.sydneyobrien.com/content-planning-system

Your problem isn't that the Instagram algorithm isn't showing your content enough or that you didn't get enough views, it's that you're focused on the wrong metricAnd when we focus on the wrong metric, we start creating content for the wrong goal (ie. Views and likes instead of DMS and sales.)And trust me I get it. Your ego feels hurt when you get 200 views on your reel that you busted your booty to create, so you scroll to see what others are doing and start creating content for more views next time.But we are not influencers or business owners, you don't get paid for views or numbers - you get paid for SALES.So in this episode, I'm gonna help you forget all of the vanity metrics that stroke your ego, but don't actually make sales, and help you refocus on the data that actually matters.Want to connect?Let's connect on Instagram!

In this episode I talk with April Payne, a Houston-based photographer whose work sits somewhere between documentary and editorial and who describes what she does simply as taking pictures of good parties. Not influencer weddings, not a day staked on a single perfect photo, but real people throwing a celebration for the people they love. April shoots roughly 80% documentary, 20% editorial, and the result is an ode to real life that still manages to look pristine.But the reason I asked April on wasn't the work, lovely as it is. It was a post she'd made about family about what it actually costs to put your children first while you're trying to build a career in this industry. That post took some heat in her DMs. April's work: https://aprilmpaynephotography.comMore episodes: https://www.bytomw.com/podcast

Love Island USA Aftersun Aftershow Ep 2 – June 20, 2026 Aftersun is back as Kirsten MacInnis recaps week 2 of Love Island USA Aftersun, with tensions rising in the villa and Casa Amor on the horizon. This episode zeroes in on complicated love triangles, emotional exits, and the blurred line between staying open and showing respect. With fresh departures and new relationships up in the air, Kirsten takes listeners inside post-dumping reactions, growing social media followings, and honest conversations about what's really happening behind the scenes. Kirsten breaks down the bubbling drama among islanders: the Caleb, Kenzie, and Corbin triangle (and age gap debates), and how Melanie earns respect for waiting to pursue Corbin. Sincere's double-talking and repeated use of pet names draw commentary on gameplay versus honesty, especially as Casa Amor looms. The exit interviews with Sol and Gabe offer a candid look at hurt feelings, adjusting to real life, and confusion over social media storylines. Kirsten also brings attention to the challenges Black women face in conversations about hair on reality TV, and the surprising spike in islanders' Instagram followers once they leave the villa. Love triangles dissected, with honest takes on whether exploring new connections is playing the game or crossing lines Sol calls out the lack of openness in the villa, pushing listeners to rethink alliances and connections Discussion of Gabe's social media blowup. Does following a political figure matter for the show? Fresh insights into the emotional impact of dumping, from FaceTime reunions to DMs and exes popping up Predictions on which couples might survive Casa Amor, and which pairings are heading for trouble With Casa Amor set to shake up alliances, which islanders are ready for real risk and who might get left behind?

In this gripping episode, we sit down with Monica Rawlins — Monster Hunter, Office Therapist, and the passionate voice behind the popular Our Paranormal World podcast and YouTube channel. A dedicated researcher of the strange and unusual, Monica has been investigating Bigfoot and cryptids since 2002. With a storyteller's heart and a researcher's sharp eye, she masterfully blends skepticism, curiosity, and decades of firsthand fieldwork into compelling explorations of cryptids, ghosts, and high strangeness.Get ready for a chilling deep dive as Monica shares her most profound and transformative paranormal experiences. She recounts in vivid, heart-pounding detail her terrifying up-close Dogman sighting — not in a remote forest, but right in the heart of Dallas while simply picking up her daughter from work. This wasn't a distant shadow or fleeting howl; it was a direct, visceral encounter that shattered her sense of reality.Monica also opens up about a startling roadside sighting of a gnome or goblin-like creature in East Texas during a Bigfoot expedition — a small, humanoid being with an unmistakably unfriendly face that crossed her path in a moment she'll never forget. And she describes the sheer terror of an unseen entity manifesting inside her own home, bringing the unknown straight into everyday life.Did Monica catch a genuine glimpse into another realm? Are these beings cryptids, interdimensional, spiritual, or something far more complex? We unpack the fear, the lingering questions, and what these encounters reveal about the hidden layers of our world.Raw, detailed, and profoundly unsettling, this conversation is essential listening for anyone fascinated by cryptids, Dogman, high strangeness, and the thin veil between our reality and the unknown.Tune in, turn up the lights, and prepare to question everything you thought you knew about what lurks just beyond the edges of the map.Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

The Knicks just won their first championship in over 50 years, Freddie from Germany went from 16k to 600k followers on X just by posting his American road trip reactions, and a military mom selling cookies from a hot pink driveway stand did $27,000 in a single week. Krysta and Paige break down exactly why these stories went viral — and what every business owner needs to steal from the playbook. In this episode we dive into:• Why current events are the most underused content strategy hiding in plain sight• How "Freddie from Germany" cracked virality without a single face-on-camera moment• The Austin's Cookies case study: from a few hundred dollars a week to $27k in one day• The one content shift that makes posting frictionless — and actually gets doneThe Opportunity You're Scrolling Past• Your feed is mining current events for you — but you're using it wrong• The Knicks win created a content wave that's still live, and most business owners slept on it• A local artist under 10k followers posted herself painting in the West Village mid-game and watched her likes jump from 50 to hundreds — instantly• You don't need to be in the action. You need a POV about the action.The Authentic Content Formula (It's Simpler Than You Think)• Freddie from Germany never planned to go viral — he just tweeted "this Walmart is insane" and J.J. Watt ended up booking him a penthouse suite• The farm stand family posted for seven years before the $27k week. Consistency compounds.• Showing the "shut down the stand" moment — counting cash, reading customer notes, packing the car — is more compelling than any polished post• When you stop performing for the camera and start documenting what's actually happening, people feel the difference immediatelyStop Majoring in the Minors• The best time to post is when you'll actually do it. Every single day. (Same logic applies everywhere else in life.)• "I work on the YouTube team and I still haven't started posting" — knowledge is not the blocker• High-quality content isn't expensive: a window for lighting, a $20 mic, and a personal baseline you refuse to drop below• What do you want to be known for? That answer should direct every single content decision you makeThis conversation is proof that the formula was never about going viral. It was always about showing up as yourself, with a genuine POV, in a world that is absolutely starving for something real. Whether you're a business owner who keeps asking "what should I post?" or a creator who's been tweaking your strategy for years and still can't figure out why nothing's landing, this episode will reset your entire approach.Send Krysta and Paige what you're seeing — content that's performing, case studies worth reacting to, or your own reel for a live audit.

Episode 628: The Red Sox keep finding new ways to disappoint us all. This series featured a 3-game sweep at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. Full-on apathy toward this team is hitting harder than ever. Finding positives has become increasingly difficult, but Tyler's love of IKF and Jake Bennett still shine through the haze of last place. After the sweep, players in the clubhouse spoke extremely candidly, and the guys react to Trevor Story and IKF's reactions to yet another debacle of a start for the Red Sox. Jared uses historical comparisons to put the severity of what we're watching with the 2026 Red Sox into context, while also forecasting who could realistically be traded from this team. Tyler lays down an ultimatum for the Boston Red Sox and reveals he is not a future firefighter in training.

In Episode 183 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we dive into a frustrating problem many coaches face: attracting leads who seem interested but never buy, waste time in the DMs, or aren't truly committed to getting results. Lynette challenges the common assumption that simply changing your niche or targeting "high-achieving women" will solve the problem.Instead, Lynette explains how your content is constantly signaling who belongs in your world, what behaviors are rewarded, and what standards you tolerate. If you're attracting indecisive buyers, tire-kickers, or people looking for shortcuts, your content may be unintentionally inviting them in.This episode is a powerful reminder that attracting better clients isn't about better hooks or more educational content—it's about positioning yourself as the kind of leader your dream clients aspire to work with. If you loved this episode, don't forget to leave a 5-star rating and review. It helps more coaches discover the podcast and learn how to attract higher-quality clients who are ready to take action.In this episode, we cover:1) Why You're Attracting Leads You Don't Want [0:00 - 3:20]-The frustration of attracting tire-kickers, ghosters, and indecisive buyers.-Why your content is attracting exactly the type of people it's designed to reward.2) Your Content Reveals What You Tolerate [3:21 - 6:15]-How your messaging communicates acceptable behaviors and identities.-Why "lazy girl hacks" and rescue-style content often attract low-commitment clients.3) The Problem With Selling Ease & Shortcuts [6:16 - 8:55]-Why constantly promoting the easiest path can attract the wrong audience.-How strong positioning naturally filters out people looking for magic solutions.4) What High-Quality Clients Actually Respond To [8:56 - 12:10]-Why ambitious buyers are drawn to leadership, standards, and ownership.-The importance of documenting who you are, not just what you teach.5) Rethinking the 'High-Achieving Woman' Niche [12:11 - 14:45]-Why high-achievers are defined more by identity and behavior than demographics.-How speaking to deeper emotional struggles creates stronger connection.6) Identity-Based Marketing in the AI Era [14:46 - 17:10]-Why information alone is no longer enough to stand out.-How buyers choose coaches whose values and identity reflect who they want to become.7) A Content Audit for Attracting Better Leads [17:11 - End]-Questions to evaluate whether your content is rewarding the right behaviors.How to position yourself as a leader who challenges clients instead of coddling them.Connect with Lynette:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynettemariehFitness Coaching Business Accelerator: https://fcbaprogram.comThe Wellness CEO Mastermind: https://wcmprogram.com

For centuries, the legend of Atlantis has captivated historians, explorers, and truth-seekers alike — a dazzling advanced civilization swallowed by the sea in a single day and night of catastrophe. But what if the truth is even wilder than the myth? What if Atlantis wasn't just one island nation, but the heart of a globe-spanning empire that influenced cultures worldwide? And could there be an extraterrestrial connection lurking in the ancient records?In this mind-bending episode, we dive deep into the enigma with special guest Aleksander “Olek” Czeszkiewicz — Polish researcher, author of the acclaimed book Déjà Vu: Has Everything Already Been?, and passionate investigator of lost civilizations, ancient technologies, and humanity's hidden history. Written at just 17 years old, his work has sparked global interest in forgotten empires, consciousness, and the secrets of our past.We separate fact from fiction, explore shocking evidence of prehistoric high cultures, examine possible links to other legendary lost lands like Mu and Lemuria, and tackle the biggest question of all: Did Atlantis leave behind traces that are still hidden in plain sight — or even among the stars?Buckle up for a journey through sunken worlds, cataclysmic floods, and forbidden knowledge that could rewrite everything we think we know about human history.czeszkiewiczglobal.com (https://www.czeszkiewiczglobal.com/)Gear up and get freaky with official Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

She sold out. Twice. Wendy is a homeschool mom of six, a former nurse, and a Print School student who launched the Plan Prep Pray Homeschool Mom Planner — an all-in-one planner built for the reality of homeschooling and home management at the same time. Her 2025–2026 planner sold out. Her 2026–2027 planner sold out too. Now she's back with a preorder for her 2027–2028 dated planner and a brand new undated version — because her audience asked for it and she listened. In this episode, she talks about what went into designing a planner that actually works for homeschool moms, what the Kickstarter felt like, and why she's convinced none of it happened by accident.

Love Island USA Daily – After Aftersun Ep 1 – June 13, 2026 Love Island USA Season 8 gets a whole new layer as Kirsten MacInnis analyzes the debut of After Sun, the fresh post-villa talk show hosted by Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa. This episode peels back the curtain on what happens when islanders face the real world, phone in hand and social media buzzing, right after elimination. With Sean and Bea fresh off their exits, fans get an unfiltered look at nerves, backlash, and the search for connection beyond the villa. Kirsten walks listeners through Sean's whirlwind reunion with his phone, from wading through 700+ DMs to dealing with unexpected shade from the mayor of Bethlehem. Family FaceTimes reveal vulnerability as Sean processes both support and criticism. Meanwhile, Bea tackles questions of identity and representation, finding joy in seeing herself as more than a “diversity hire” and candidly discussing her connection with Gabe along with her place in disability and LGBTQ+ conversations online. Ciara and Tefi's chemistry as After Sun hosts sets a new tone, blending humor, honesty, and listener engagement for a deeper dive into cast dynamics. Key discussion points: Sean facing online scrutiny, family support, and the awkwardness of local politics crossing over with reality TV fame Bea's response to social media rumors, her pride in disability representation, and the challenges of being misread by the public Missed connections: the potential sparks between Sean and Anaya and why they never lit up Behind-the-scenes drama on gossip, style (KC's DIY looks get a major callout), and playful “bone collector” confessions Ongoing struggles with honesty and vulnerability, especially among the guys determined to protect their “good guy” image Kirsten's recap asks how vulnerability, identity, and public perception reshape Love Island's endgame. Will KC and Anaya's sparks turn into something real, and how will social media shape the journeys of cast-offs like Sean and Bea? Tune in for an inside look at After Sun's debut, digital fallout, and how hearts and reputations might survive outside the villa. 00:00 Dramas Over Love Connections Begin 06:02 Sean Faces Social Media Backlash 11:07 Sierra Discusses Reality TV Dating 14:41 Girl Code, Honesty, and Game Dynamics 18:14 Sean Reflects on Departure, Anaya 22:03 Bea Reunites with Phone, Reacts 26:54 Bea Addresses Disability, Representation 32:16 Sean and Bea Reunite On-Air 36:34 Couples Analyzed, Hot Takes Shared 39:55 Closing Words and Final Reflections LISTEN: Subscribe to the We Know Love Island podcast feed!
