How do you change someone's mind without being manipulative? In a world where influence is a key leadership currency, the line between ethical persuasion and unethical manipulation can seem blurry. To navigate this complex territory, Andy Lopata is joined by an expert in the art of communication, Paul du Toit. Paul is a 27-year speaking veteran, Africa's first Certified speaking professional this century, and the author of three business books, including the timely "The Book of Persuasion." As an inductee into both the Southern African Speakers Hall of Fame and the Southern African Educators Hall of Fame, Paul brings decades of experience to the conversation. Together, Andy and Paul dissect the crucial difference between persuading someone for mutual benefit and coercing them for personal gain. Paul emphasises that true persuasion is an art that strengthens relationships by ensuring decisions are made with free will and are built on a foundation of trust. This conversation is a masterclass in the practical techniques of ethical influence. Discover why "engaged listening" is more powerful than active listening, how to ask questions that build rapport instead of feeling like an interrogation, and the four-step "Agree and Switch" method for overcoming resistance. Paul also shares powerful insights on the role of confidence, the impact of non-verbal cues in a virtual world, and what we can learn from charismatic figures. What we discussed: Persuasion vs. Manipulation: The critical distinction lies in intent and outcome. Persuasion aims to change minds while honouring free will and building long-term trust. Manipulation is coercive and often unethical, prioritising a short-term win over the relationship. The Power of "Engaged Listening": Go beyond simply hearing words. Engaged listening involves focusing on the person, understanding the context behind what they're saying, and making them feel truly heard, which is the foundation of any persuasive conversation. Asking Questions Strategically: The most effective persuasion comes from the information you gather. Learn how to ask for permission to ask questions, creating a dynamic where the other person willingly shares without feeling interrogated. Charisma: Charismatic figures like Steve Jobs, Oprah, and Muhammad Ali weren't just born with it. Their incredible ability to persuade was often forged by overcoming immense adversity, combined with excellent oratory skills and a laser-focused vision.

Hear how he now reflects back on it as a recent college graduate - a unique perspective that parents of young children may find interesting. Young parents of little ones today may enjoy hearing how the childhood experiences are processed and remembered - for example Wes was a huge baseball player on Lookout and then in middle school at McCallie. Dad Dan even helped coach - like many do today. Wes talks about the huge impact his parents - both Mom and Dad had on him and also what it was like heading off to college and realizing that feeling of more independence - a section that near-graduates may enjoy in particular.Wes shares about how his childhood interests have become life passions and how he is at a major-events point in his life with a couple of different events happening simultaneously. This is a fun episode and (like his fun dad, Dan - look for earlier episode with Dan Carroll) you will likely relate and remember these stages in many of our own lives - exciting times.All in all, a community child, growing up, gradating college and starting his first major job after school - this is an inspiring tale for young folks in high school, those currently in college and for young parents who may wonder how the activities race and busy events cycle impacts their children - and how its remembered. A fun and enjoyable episode that many can enjoy and relate to - well done Wes!Thank you and we are all pulling for you and wishing you the very best in these next exciting chapters of your life.  Great seeing the children of this community thriving in the world. Godspeed Wes.Spread the word!

In this episode of the We LOVE Arabian Horses Podcast, we sit down with Brooke Landon of Landon Equestrian for a thoughtful, candid conversation about the future of the Arabian horse, seen through a younger lens.Fresh off competing at the Team Penning & Ranch Sorting World Championships, Brooke shares what stood out most, from massive entry numbers and multi-round eliminations to the power of objective, time-based competition. She explains why discipline-based events attract riders of all ages, how cost and accessibility influence participation, and why these formats create opportunity for horses that may not fit a single traditional show-ring mold.The conversation expands into youth engagement, social media storytelling, marketing lessons from other breeds, and the importance of making young riders feel seen, supported, and valued. Brooke also offers honest insight into breeding decisions, rider accountability, and what it will take to keep the Arabian horse relevant, competitive, and growing in the years ahead.This episode is a must-listen for breeders, trainers, youth parents, and anyone thinking seriously about the long-term health and evolution of the Arabian horse community.

Mary: The Lord's Servant Luke 1.26-56 Gordon Dabbs, PhD Advent often, for believers, refers to is the season leading up to Christmas. The season of waiting. Hoping. Trusting. Advent is the season of almost… but not yet… What is coming upon the world is the Light of the World. It is Christ. That is the comfort of it. The challenge of it is that it has not come yet. Only the hope for it has come, only the longing for it. In the meantime we are in the dark, and the dark, God knows, is also in us. We watch and wait for a holiness to heal us and hallow us, to liberate us from the dark. Advent is like the hush in a theater just before the curtain rises. ~ Frederick Buechner Christmas is not about how we find God. It's about how God found us. And He chose to arrive in a way no one expected. Mary was from Nazareth. Young—likely a teenager. Poor. Unmarried. Engaged to a carpenter of like socio-economic means. When the world says, “Not enough,” God says, “Watch this.” Mary wasn't chosen because she was impressive. She was chosen because she was available. Luke 1.26-29 (ESV) In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. Yes, it is entirely possible to be right in the center of God's will and still feel confused and disturbed at the same time. Luke 1.35,37 (ESV) The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. . . For nothing will be impossible with God. Mary speaks words that change the direction of history… Luke 1.38 (ESV) Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. It is very easy to care more about the approval of others than the approval of God. We want to be liked. Understood. Avoid tension. Luke 1.45 (NLT) You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said. Christmas is the story of what God can do when someone says “yes.” May we have the courage to do the same.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

Do you think that you may get ENGAGED over the holidays this year?

This episode is a full end-of-year reflection and a practical blueprint for setting goals you actually complete. I'm sharing the exact shifts I made that helped me reach every major goal I set this year, feel more like myself again, close the loop on my goals, and build momentum without the scattered energy.   I also give you the framework I'm using going into 2026: how I narrowed my goals down, increased focus and depth (instead of novelty), tightened my routines and boundaries, and invested in support early rather than waiting until I was in "red alert."   And yes, there's a mini life update in here too: a record month in business, and the story of Chris and me getting ENGAGED!!   For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.
