Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider where we dive deep into how brands can leverage short-form content creators instead of traditional influencers to achieve better marketing ROI. He breaks down the economics of creator partnerships ($900/month for daily content across platforms vs. $2,000 for a single influencer post) and demonstrates how the for-you-page algorithm allows creators with zero followers to potentially reach massive audiences. The strategy works particularly well for mobile apps, e-commerce products, and services with straightforward value propositions.

The Value of Solitude: Insights from Sha'ar Cheshbon HaNefesh Welcome to a special series from Sha'ar Cheshbon HaNefesh , where we explore 30 introspections over 30 days. Our focus today, on day 17, is inspired by a common social scenario: you're enjoying a get-together with friends and feel the need to pause and reflect. In our current social landscape, there's often a conflict between the excitement of being with people and the benefits of being alone. While certain situations require us to be social—such as fulfilling social norms or building friendships—this introspection addresses what happens when our social interactions become excessive. Drawbacks of Excessive Socializing When a person's soul "leans" toward being with people and finding enjoyment in their company, it can become an all-consuming pursuit. The author of Sha'ar Cheshbon HaNefesh outlines 13 negative consequences that can arise from excessive socializing. Let's explore a few of the key issues: Excessive and Empty Talk: This includes endless chatter, gossip, and babbling. As the verse in Proverbs states, " In a multitude of words, sin will not cease, but one who holds back his lips is wise ." A Breeding Ground for Negative Traits: Social settings can lead to speaking negatively about others, lying, and swearing falsely. They also present opportunities for arrogance, scoffing, insulting, and general levity . This can create a lack of yirat Hashem (fear of God) and an unhealthy pursuit of honor, leading to misrepresenting oneself just to project a certain image. The Responsibility of Rebuke: Being in a group of people comes with the responsibility to offer rebuke when necessary, a mitzvah (commandment) from the Torah: " You must surely rebuke your friend. " The author identifies three forms of rebuke: Physical action: The most extreme form, like the actions of Pinchas. Verbal protest: Using words to protest wrongdoing, as Moshe Rabbeinu did with Daton and Aviram. Protest in your heart: Even if you cannot speak out, you must internally object to the negative behavior. This is a difficult responsibility to fulfill, and by being alone, a person is freed from it. Loss of Good Judgment: When surrounded by people, a person's ability to think clearly and make good decisions can suffer. We can also adopt the negative traits of others, as the verse says, " One who herds with fools will become wicked ." Ultimately, the author asserts that most sins happen among people. It "takes two to tango," whether it's sins of promiscuity, business fraud, or false testimony. The mouth, in particular, often requires a listener. The Power of Solitude The antidote to these negatives is solitude. The author calls it "one of the most powerful things that leads to good midot " (character traits). A wise person once said, "The pillar of a pure heart is the love of seclusion." In our current era of social media, where our self-worth is often tied to external validation—likes, emojis, and reactions, the idea of being alone can feel unnatural. However, as the text emphasizes, solitude is crucial for spiritual and even mental well-being because it helps us develop an inner world. We can see this principle in the lives of our greatest religious figures: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, King David, and Moshe Rabbeinu were all shepherds. They were shepherds precisely because it gave them time alone, a period of isolation essential for personal and spiritual development. Being alone allows us to be in touch with ourselves and foster self-awareness. The Exception: Spending Time with the Wise Does this mean we should avoid all social interaction, even with talmidei chachamim (Torah scholars) and wise people? The author argues that this is a mistake. Being with righteous individuals is not a distraction but a form of "ultimate aloneness." You gain tremendous qualities from them—qualities that can be even more beneficial than being alone. As it says in Proverbs, " One who walks with the wise will become wise. " While some people avoid being with the wise to escape rebuke, the Mishnah in Pirkei Avot instructs us: "Let your house be a gathering place for the wise." This type of interaction is a constructive and valuable use of time. As the verse says, " Then those who feared God spoke to one another, and God listened ."
We begin to unravel one of the most complex and timely topics in the global energy landscape. Whether you're a student, a policy maker, a professional in the energy sector, or simply an engaged global citizen, this episode promises to broaden your horizons and foster informed dialogue.As countries strive to decarbonize their energy sectors, the debate over nuclear power becomes increasingly vital. Nuclear energy offers a unique combination of high-capacity generation and low carbon emissions, positioning it as a potential linchpin in the global effort to combat climate change. However, high-profile accidents, long-lived waste, and economic considerations give rise to legitimate concerns. This discussion aims to navigate these complexities with clarity and candor and provide Alliance stakeholders with a strong background from which to further explore the topic. Christopher Juniper provides a balanced examination of nuclear power, highlighting both its transformative potential and the valid concerns it raises. He addresses the following key areas:· The Basics and Lifecycle of Nuclear Energy: How does nuclear power work? What is fission, and how is electricity generated from uranium or thorium?· Advantages of Nuclear Energy: Explore the compelling benefits, from low greenhouse gas emissions to high energy density, reliability, and potential for innovation in reactor design.· Drawbacks and Risks: Delve into the challenges, including extraction of uranium, radioactive waste, safety concerns, high upfront costs, and public perception. · Future Outlook: A look at emerging technologies, such as small modular reactors and fusion energy, and their potential to reshape the energy landscape.· Colorado Connection: Understanding the potential implications for Colorado. · Interactive Q&A Session: Bring your questions and perspectives for an engaging dialogue.Christopher Juniper, a Colorado native and Colorado College graduate, has tracked nuclear power for nearly 50 years as a sustainability economist, consultant, activist, and college instructor. He created the Sustainability Performance Lifecycle Management System in 2003 that his team used to evaluate energy sources available to the Pikes Peak region 2009-2011. He has served on the Colorado Springs Utilities' EIRP technical advisory committee; co-authored certification study guides for the International Society of Sustainability Professionals; authored book chapters on climate risk economics; and served international sustainability-related projects and non-profit boards.This episode was recorded at the Sustainability in Progress (SIP) virtual event on August 20, 2025.

"Companies pay duties when they shouldn't—and often don't know they can get them back." — Noa Sussman, TecEx In this latest installment of the TecEx Podcast Series, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green is joined once again by Noa Sussman of TecEx for a deep dive into one of the least understood yet most impactful opportunities in global trade: duty drawbacks. With tariffs in flux and new rounds expected as early as August, Sussman emphasizes that even experienced IT hardware exporters may be leaving money on the table. Tariff volatility—especially under recent and forthcoming U.S. trade policies—means that companies importing equipment, only to re-export it or return unsold or damaged merchandise, may qualify for substantial reimbursements. The problem? Most don't realize they're eligible—or assume the process is too complex to pursue. Sussman walks through real-world cases, including a company importing $3 million worth of rockets later launched by SpaceX. Because the hardware technically leaves U.S. territory, that business can apply to recover hundreds of thousands in duties—a scenario that applies even to one-off imports. Whether it's unused merchandise, rejected goods, or components used in U.S.-based manufacturing for re-export, companies may qualify for duty drawbacks—if they file correctly and document thoroughly. TecEx acts as a strategic partner in these scenarios, providing case-by-case analysis and only charging if savings are found. Sussman compares the service to that of a seasoned tax advisor: one who understands obscure government programs and evolving rules across jurisdictions. More importantly, the conversation elevates trade compliance from a back-office function to a boardroom imperative. As tariffs affect profitability, C-suite leaders must engage early in supply chain planning to ensure compliance, mitigate risk, and improve margins. Learn more at tecex.com.

In this episode of Chew on This, Ron and Ash are joined by Constantine Yurevich, Founder of SegmentStream, to discuss the challenges and future of marketing measurement and attribution. If you care about scaling profitably, avoiding wasted ad spend, and finally getting clarity on what's actually driving results — this one's for you.What You'll Learn: Why one-size-fits-all attribution models just don't cut it We talk about why standard setups miss the mark — and why your measurement approach needs to reflect how you actually sell and market, not someone else's template. When attribution becomes a make-or-break issue If you're spending big, measurement mistakes get expensive. We get into why attribution becomes non-negotiable as budgets grow — and how smaller teams can still start smart. How to surface conversions that don't get credit Some channels drive value you can't see in your analytics dashboard. We dig into how things like geolocation and session behavior can expose what's really moving the needle. Why marginal ROAS tells a more honest story than averages Looking at average ROAS is easy — but misleading. We unpack why marginal ROAS gives you the real picture, especially when scaling campaigns. Who you can actually trust when it comes to attribution adviceSpoiler: It's not always your media agency or the platform reps. We talk about why having someone with no skin in the game is crucial for objective decision-making. Plus: Real-world stories of brands that got attribution wrong — and what they did to turn things around.About SegmentStream:SegmentStream partners with DTC growth leaders to drive more revenue from paid media through full-funnel attribution, incrementality measurement and automated cross-channel budget allocation.

He discusses how rigidity can lead to anxiety due to a fear of losing control, while spontaneity can result in feelings of resentment when life feels too boxed in or constrained.Benefits and Drawbacks of RigidityBenefits:A structured environment can lower anxiety, especially for children, by providing clear expectations.2.Commitment: Predictability helps partners uphold commitments and builds trust.Drawbacks:1.Stifled Intimacy: Overly rigid environments can become boring and inhibit emotional closeness.2.Excessive Control: Rigid approaches can lead to legalistic attitudes that diminish personal freedom and enjoyment.Benefits and Drawbacks of SpontaneityBenefits:1.Excitement and Joy: Spontaneity can inject fun and unpredictability into life, fostering deeper emotional connections.2.Encouragement of Playfulness: It allows couples to engage in activities that uplift their spirits and reinforce bonds.Drawbacks:1.Instability: Sudden changes can create anxiety in partners who prefer predictability.2.Neglect of Responsibilities: Spontaneous decisions can sometimes lead to neglecting commitments and responsibilities, causing strain in the relationship.Balancing Rigidity and SpontaneityThe hosts emphasize that neither rigidity nor spontaneity is inherently right or wrong; rather, successful relationships require a balance of both. This balance is achieved through flexibility, the capacity to adapt to each partner's needs and circumstances.Scriptural References and Principles•Ephesians 5:21: Advocating for mutual submission and respect in relationships.•Philippians 2:3-4: Encouraging humility and valuing the needs of others over one's own.•Ecclesiastes 9:9: Reminding partners to enjoy life together amidst their daily routines.Practical Strategies for Couples1.Know Your Tendencies: Partners should identify whether they lean more towards rigidity or spontaneity.2.Set Shared Values: Agree on core values that will guide decisions and behaviors.3.Establish Common Goals: Identify long-term goals that both partners are working towards.4.Listen Actively: Encourage open communication without defensiveness or sarcasm.5.Seek Unity Over Being Right: Focus on compromise and mutual understanding instead of proving each other wrong.6.Encourage Each Other: Foster positivity by recognizing and affirming each other's efforts and traits.7.Shift Mindsets to ‘We': Cultivate a partnership mentality where both aim for collective success and happiness.Flexibility as a Key ComponentThe discussion culminates in the realization that flexibility is essential for resiliency in a relationship. It allows couples to navigate the inevitable storms of life with grace, adapting their approaches as circumstances change.http:://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

Time to “Buckle Down”I was talking to a client today, and we discussed the opportunity to resolve a major problem in their business that needed attention. The tone of the team and the discussion centered around the idea that now was the time for them to “Buckle down, get to work, roll up their sleeves, and make sacrifices for a little while to resolve the issue.”I questioned the idea that this time was any different than before, and I wondered (with them) about what they were really getting at in this moment. Is it that the team isn't really working hard? Is it that the team isn't working on the right things?What makes this time truly different than other times?What does self-sacrifice mean to you? What is your connection between self-sacrifice and success? Are they linked?I cautioned that self-sacrifice, a common trait among entrepreneurs, works to drive towards goals and is also unsustainable. The Drawbacks of Self-SacrificeWhen the setup for success is based on self-sacrifice…You are thinking short term: Your focus is only on immediate fires, and being the hero to save the latest one. You lose perspective for your larger vision in pursuit of short-term fixes. You lose sense of who you are and what you want: Self-sacrifice is based on “giving up” part of you for a cause. Do the causes you truly care about mean giving up yourself in the process? There will always be more things to sacrifice for: There is always a new issue, fire, or problem that needs to be handled, and the more used to using the fire alarm as an incentive to act, the more you begin to rely on it. Self-sacrifice is Unsustainable: It drains your reserves, leaving you to lack the resources for the long game. It only works for so long, leads to burnout or team problems.Crossing the Finish LineIn Olympic Skiing, it's not just the person who finishes first who wins the race. It's the person who didn't get injured and was able to compete that day. You can't win if you can't compete tomorrow. Winners win sustainably over the long haul. Ownership, Choice, FreedomYou want to watch for the tone and energy of self-sacrifice on your teams. Other people will try and impose their need for it as fuel. If a team operates under the idea of self-sacrifice, it will create disconnection and isolation, preventing the development of a collaborative team environment characterized by connection, support, and even enjoyment while solving significant issues.You might think back to a time when you achieved something without self-sacrifice. If you can think of one, then maybe these things are not as linked as they initially appear. Desire, excitement, team-work, responsibility, vision… these are all great motivators. When you pursue things from these motivations, you are less likely to put yourself in the frame of mind that this is “hard” and requires you to give up parts of yourself to get it.Yes, there is work to be done. Also, it will take the long-term sustainable path of consistently showing up to work which will help resolve it, not short-term heroism.

Welcome to the sleep revolution. More than ever experts know how SLEEP defines the health of cognitive function, emotional regulation, social interaction... for everyone... but most especially teenagers!Sleep-deprived teens often struggle with moodiness, risky behaviors, relational skills and even academics due to being forced to operate on insufficient sleep. The cascade of poor sleep can result in what Dr. Skinner refers to as "ego depletion," leaving teens incapable of functioning at their best, or even just adequately. Are our teenagers being rebellious or lazy, or is there more to the story? Dr. Meers enlightens us on the biological changes that occur during adolescence, which can account for those infamous late nights and groggy mornings. Maybe their disengagement isn't just teenage defiance— maybe our kids are exhausted!In this fascinating episode, renowned clinical psychologist and certified sleep medicine specialist, Dr. Jessica Meers, uncovers the hidden intricacies of sleep, focusing on the enigmatic and often elusive sleep patterns of teenagers—a topic more vital to their well-being than we might think.Join us to find out how better sleep for our kids and teens is possible, today on Finding Noble.

The ratification of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, or ECOA, 50 years ago marked the end of illegal lending practices that discriminated against borrowers based on their race, sex, age, religion, national origin, marital status, and source of income. Financial inequality, however, is still a persistent issue in the United States. One solution to this ongoing issue is closing the education gap when it comes to topics surrounding financial literacy. In this special episode, we sit down with Courtney Pettway, CEO and Co-Founder of KidVestors, and Ashley Leftwich, CEO of Rock the Street, Wall Street. These organizations are two of the 50 projects supporting women's financial independence that were awarded funds as part of the SoFi Give Her Credit Program. Both organizations seek to empower young people by teaching them the fundamentals of saving and budgeting, the benefits of growing their wealth through investing, and exposing them to female role models in math and finance. Kidvestors is an award-winning educational platform that teaches kids about money and finance tops in fun, accessible ways. Rock the Street, Wall Street is a non-profit organization that teaches the fundamentals of investing and finance to high school girls and undergraduate women.

Leadership Lesson Learned #3 may be a hard sell to some of you out there, but hear me out. I lay out the complexities of leadership expectations and how they can hinder team dynamics. My view of expectations changed forever after a pivotal conversation with Benjamin Martin in Episode 121. If I can't sway you to completely agree I think that you will at least see the importance of simplifying expectations, focusing on cultural goals, and leading by example to foster a more engaged and autonomous team environment.Thank you for listening!

I've seen so much hype around them for people who are trying to overcome constipation, and I'd imagine they're obviously not a cute, but wondering whether they're ever helpful or even recommended?"I liked this question so much that I saved it so I can share my answer here on the Better Belly Podcast.On today's episode, we'll be covering topics like:What is colon hydrotherapy?How do colonics work?Can colonics compliment other natural constipation relief treatments you're doing?What natural constipation remedies I MOST recommend for complete & lasting constipation reliefWhether you're new to the constipation journey or been on it for decades, I hope this episode empowers you to get one step closer to complete constipation freedom.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction and Episode Overview 02:29 - What is Colon Hydrotherapy? 03:22 - How Colonics Work 03:43 - Personal Experience with Colonics 06:47 - The Limitations of Colonics 09:26 - Root Causes of Constipation 11:16 - Benefits and Drawbacks of Colonics 12:49 - Emotional and Physical Reactions 16:10 - Final Thoughts and Recommendations 20:00 - How to Work with BetterBellyEPISODES MENTIONED:153// 6 Steps to End Bloating and Constipation Naturally165// The Constipation Magnesium Myth178// Why Constipation Medicine and Laxatives Are Not Helping200// How to End 20+ Years of Constipation and Acid Reflux in 3 Months117// End Six Years of Constipation in One Month [Testimonial – Anitra]183// Relieve 30+ Years of Constipation, Headaches, Fatigue, Insomnia, And Anxiety in ONE Week [Testimonial - Eric]HEAL YOUR CONSTIPATION:Option #1)
In this episode, I share insights on the growing trend of moving online communities off Facebook to platforms like Mighty Networks, Skool, and more. I discuss the allure of these platforms, such as their unique features and the potential for a more intimate, distraction-free setting, but also highlight the significant drawbacks, including marketing challenges and decreased visibility. Through personal experiences and observations, I emphasize that the key to a thriving community is not the platform but the strategy and skills in engaging and growing the group. I also advocate for the value of Facebook's algorithms in helping to organically grow communities and offer my Profitable Facebook Group Program as a solution for those struggling with engagement and growth on Facebook.
