Podcasts about engagements

The gang welcomes Ashley Vogt and NHL veteran Jamie Rivers into the studio to celebrate two massive life events: a surprise Nashville engagement and the launch of Synergy Integrated Healthcare. But before anyone can get sentimental, the show immediately derails into a debate about throwing apple cores out of moving vehicles and whether that technically makes you a criminal. Spoiler alert: Missouri law apparently has thoughts.Meanwhile, Moon relives the heartbreak of being passed over for a coveted Blue Angels flight after thinking he was officially cleared for takeoff. The crew spends an alarming amount of time trying to figure out who could possibly be worthy of stealing his seat. Steve Ewing? John Goodman? Wayne Gretzky? Andy Cohen? The investigation continues.As if that wasn't enough, the crew checks in on the internet-famous guy attempting to live in a room for an entire year while livestreaming the experience. He's lost weight, picked up hobbies, and somehow still has fewer viewers than some houseplants on social media. The discussion quickly turns into a philosophical debate about personal sacrifice, family life, and whether staying locked in a room sounds like punishment or a vacation.Then comes Alpha-Gal Syndrome, the tick-borne condition that could potentially rob meat lovers of everything they hold dear. Lern takes a suspicious amount of joy in imagining a future where Riz can't eat meatballs in Europe, while the rest of the room tries desperately not to anger the tick gods.Elsewhere in the chaos:A movie theater guest commits the unthinkable by removing their shoes during a screening.Twizzlers become accidental footwear accessories.Ashley reveals the incredible multi-layered deception behind her Nashville proposal.Jamie explains why acupuncture works wonders despite his refusal to bother Ashley with every ache and pain.The crew discusses regenerative medicine, healthcare innovations, and how a grand opening somehow ends with another reminder not to throw food out your car window.It's everything you'd expect from a funny podcast: weird stories, unnecessary arguments, heartfelt moments, and just enough public embarrassment to keep everyone humble.Whether you're here for the engagement story, the Blue Angels drama, movie theater etiquette, Alpha-Gal panic, or simply to hear grown adults debate the ecological impact of a Granny Smith apple, this funny podcast delivers exactly the kind of daily chaos you've come to expect.And if you're wondering whether Jamie ever stopped throwing apple cores out the window... absolutely not. At least not voluntarily.This funny podcast may not improve your life, but it will make you feel significantly better about your own decision-making skills.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 1917, Virginia and Leonard Woolf set up Hogarth Press in their dining room with about forty pounds of operating capital. Five years later, Sylvia Beach published Ulysses from a Paris bookshop after every major publisher refused it. A few months after that, Hogarth Press published The Waste Land — another book the corporate houses had passed on. In a span of five years, two small presses founded by writers and bookshop owners redefined what English-language literature could do in the twentieth century.The publishing moment we are living through in 2026 looks remarkably like that one. The big houses have closed their doors to the writer of serious nonfiction without an existing platform. Agents have become the new editorial gatekeepers. The book that takes seven years to write is structurally homeless in the corporate system.This episode argues for what comes next — a return to the editorial tradition that produced the literary canon. Crossroads Publishing Group is a boutique press in that tradition. Two lanes: Leadership (Covey/Lencioni/Collins) and Reflective (Solnit/Whyte/Hollis/Tooze/Klein). Hybrid model, legitimately operated. IBPA-pledged. CLMP member.The Founding Voice cohort opens today. The first three writers signing a publishing engagement — Editorial Framing Brief or above — receive a dedicated Difficulty episode profile, inclusion in the first seasonal catalog, and permanent recognition on the Crossroads website as a Founding Voice. Pricing is not discounted. The recognition is structural.→ Engagements: crossroadspublishing.group/engagements → Submit: crossroadspublishing.group/inquire → Discovery call: Book on Calendly Get full access to The Descent at chadprevost.substack.com/subscribe

Speaking on stages isn't just about public speaking. It's one of the fastest ways to build authority, grow your network, create partnerships, and open up entirely new revenue opportunities in your business. If you've been thinking about landing speaking opportunities as a creator, influencer, founder, or entrepreneur… this episode is for you! I'm breaking down how YOU can actually land speaking gigs and why these opportunities can lead to brand deals, partnerships, clients, and long-term business growth far beyond the speaking fee itself.

Access to energy has been one of the major driving forces in geopolitics since at least the industrial revolution. Without reliable access to the dominate form of energy, economies stall, people protest, and governments fall apart. The United States has become an energy superpower, leading the way in multiple forms of diversified energy resources, however, its economy remains vulnerable to supply disruptions, particularly for oil and the rare earth minerals currently necessary for renewable energy production. How does the closing of the Strait of Hormuz lead to higher gas prices? What steps can we take to insulate ourselves from these shocks? What are the new and emerging technologies that will reshape our energy infrastructure of the future?This month we speak with Dr. Stephen Bird, Director of the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire, to explore these questions and more. Dr. Bird's career has focused on all aspects of energy policy, with a particular focus on energy conflicts, polarization, and the energy transition. Join the conversation as we explore the critical spaces that energy occupies in our daily lives and how decisions made thousands of miles away can shape your daily life.Stephen Bird is the Director of Carsey School of Public Policy and a professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire. He is also a research professor (courtesy) at the Institute for Sustainable Environment at Clarkson University where he was formerly a full professor of political science. In addition, he's a faculty Research Affiliate with the Positive Energy Project at the University of Ottawa.Stephen's work examines all aspects of energy policy and regulation broadly, with a deep focus on impacting the energy transition. Engagements and research awards have included New York's Energy Research Authority, the U.S. State Department, the European Commission, National Resources Canada, a 2016 Fulbright Research Chair, and the National Science Foundation. Corporate partnerships have included the NY Power Authority, GE, National Grid, AMD, the US Green Building Council, and IBM.His current research and engagements focus on energy conflict & polarization, drivers of energy acceptance (fracking, solar, wind), split incentives and smart housing, and energy technology governance & implementation (microgrids, green data centers).Stephen completed his PhD at Boston University and his Masters at Harvard University.

In this episode of the Booked and Paid Speaker Blueprint, Sean Douglas breaks down exactly how speakers can start booking small engagements, increase visibility, and position themselves as the obvious choice for event planners. Sean shares practical outreach strategies, how to write personalized emails that actually get responses, why speaker reels matter more than one sheets, and how to use LinkedIn and social media to build authority and attract opportunities. If you are tired of sending cold emails that get ignored, struggling to gain traction as a speaker, or wondering how to start building momentum, this episode gives you the tactical foundation to begin booking speaking opportunities consistently. In This Episode, Sean Covers: How to craft personalized speaker outreach emails Why long speaker one sheets no longer work What event planners actually care about How to position yourself as the right speaker for the event Why relevance matters more than motivation Using LinkedIn to increase speaker visibility Creating short-form content that attracts speaking gigs How to leverage local speaking opportunities Why testimonials and social proof matter The strategy behind "Speak nationally, sleep locally" How associations can become recurring clients Why your problem determines your audience Key Takeaways Event Planners Want Simplicity Most event planners care about three things: What topic do you speak on? What problem do you solve? What is your fee? Long emails, complicated bios, and overloaded media kits create friction. Relevance Wins You are not trying to appeal to everyone. You are trying to become the perfect fit for a specific audience and problem. Social Media Is Your Proof Your social platforms should clearly position you as a speaker and showcase: Your expertise Your stage presence Your thought leadership Your speaking clips Your audience results LinkedIn Matters LinkedIn is one of the most important platforms for speakers because event planners, executives, and association leaders actively use it to search for speakers.

In the world of elite operations, the margin between mission success and catastrophe is measured in seconds and mental clarity. This episode analyzes the neurobiology of the "near-death" window and how operators can train to override primal instincts with tactical logic. We bridge the gap between the body's survival response and the disciplined execution required in the heat of a kinetic environment.

Die ehemalige Tänzerin Paloma Selma musste ihre Karriere wegen eines Bühnenunfalls vorzeitig beenden. Seither setzt sich dafür ein, Kultur und soziale Arbeit zu verbinden: als Gründerin des Surprise-Strassenchors ebenso wie als Leiterin des Basler Tanzfests. Wer aus eigener Erfahrung weiss, wie sich Brüche im Leben anfühlen, hat mehr Verständnis für Menschen in schwierigen Situationen, sagt Paloma Selma. Sie wuchs in der spanischen Hafenstadt Valencia auf und verliess ihre Heimat schon in jungen Jahren, um professionelle Tänzerin zu werden. Nach ersten Engagements in Bonn und Berlin kam sie 2001 nach Basel, um in der Compagnie von Richard Wherlock zu tanzen. Auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere riss während einer Vorstellung eine Sehne in ihrem Fuss. Danach sei sie nicht nur körperlich, sondern auch seelisch eine Weile verletzt gewesen, sagt Paloma Selma im Rückblick. Es fiel ihr nicht leicht, ihre Identität als Tänzerin aufzugeben, doch dann fand sie einen neuen Weg, indem sie sich für die Verbindung von Kultur und Sozialem einsetzte. In «Musik für einen Gast» erzählt sie von ihrem Engagement für das Basler Tanzfest und für den «Surprise-Strassenchor», den sie vor rund 20 Jahren gegründet hat. Und sie erklärt am Beispiel ihrer Musikwünsche, was auf Spanisch «Duende» bedeutet. Die Musiktitel: - Fréderic Chopin: Nocturne Es-Dur op. 9 Nr. 2 (Lars Vogt, Klavier) - Irene Cara: Fame - Camarón de la Isla, Paco de Lucía & Tomatito: Como el agua - Edvard Grieg: Åses Tod, aus Peer Gynt (Estonian National Symphony Orchestra; Paavo Järvi, Leitung) - Miriam Makeba: Malaika - Celia Cruz: La vida es un carnaval

Hello EICabbages!Strap in because today we're taking you on a tour of the most salacious, strange and shocking stories in the news. Russell Brand running for mayor, TERF nonsense in the running space, Hannah Spencer calling out Westminster's drinking culture and a murder used for sexist click bait.From there we're taking on a topic that depressed us way back in 2024 after UK fashion and lifestyle magazine Sheerluxe introduced yet more AI influencers to its roster, with Brooke, Gigi, and Eden joining their OG AI-fluencer Reem. Comments on their socials are uniformly negative, but Sheerluxe seem undeterred. We discuss.And last (but not least) we're talking circumcision after The Cut published a piece titled ‘‘The Men Who Want Their Foreskins Back". The story centres on a 30-year-old man who was circumcised as a baby and recently underwent reconstructive penis surgery- plus the thriving online community of men going to lengths to manually "restore" their own foreskins. Not a topic we know much about, but we share what we learned from the piece and how it's shaped our current opinions.This week Oenone has been loving The Testaments on Disney+, Beef on Netflix, I Just Want You To Be Happy by Jem Calder (out 21st May) and The Cage on BBC iPlayer, Beth has been loving Expectation by Anna Hope and Ruchira has been loving Ex Machina, Search Party on YouTube and (secretly) Temptation Island on Netflix.Links: BBC - Influencer dies days after being hit by car in Soho Hannah Spencer Instagram Feminegra - Daily Mail's BBL Influencer Headline Sparks BacklashThe Standard - Russell Brand announced plan to run for London MayorPolitics Joe - What it's REALLY like in Westminster | Hannah Spencer interviewBBC - Sheerluxe defends use of AI influencer The Cut - The Men Who Want Their Foreskins Back Hosted on Acast.

System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports are examinations performed by CPAs in accordance with the AICPA's Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements to evaluate the controls over customer data that service organizations such as cloud providers or payroll processors have in place. SOC reports provide independent assurance to the service organization's customers, aka user entities, that those controls are suitably designed and operating effectively. The entrance of technology vendors into the realm of SOC reporting has created some efficiencies, but it also has led to promises of "fast and easy" SOC reports that have raised credibility concerns in the marketplace.  In this episode of the Journal of Accountancy podcast, Amy Pawlicki, the AICPA's vice president–Assurance & Advisory Innovation, discusses recent developments affecting SOC engagements. The conversation also highlights what CPAs, service organizations, and report users should watch for to protect trust in SOC reporting. Other resources mentioned in the episode include: A JofA article on ethics risks related to SOC tool providers. The AICPA's SOC landing page. Ethics Staff Insights: Business Arrangements With SOC Tool Providers. What you'll learn from this episode: What SOC reporting is — and why a SOC 2 report is not a certification. How a technology trend is threatening SOC credibility. The ethical risks related to SOC reporting tool vendors. The peer review and the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct requirements for CPAs performing SOC work. Where to find AICPA resources for firms, service organizations, and users.

This episode starts to describe how GM and Suzuki worked together within an alliance framework. It traces the beginning, its compexity, role of Suzuki within the overall GM family, and a few specific examples. In my opinion, GM and Suzuki could have done more in terms of leveraging each other's capability, and executing joint programs. But knowing how Suzuki operates, I can also see how draining such undertakings would be on Suzuki's precious resources. I hope this gives you an entry to the years I spent in Japan, leading GM's office at Suzuki, and later managing GM's sales operation. Thank you for listening.

Er ist der dienstälteste Dirigent der Wiener Philharmoniker und nach Herbert Blomstedt der zweitälteste Maestro alter Schule: Zubin Mehta. Groß geworden in einer Musikerfamilie, die sich zur seltenen Ethnie der Parsen zählt, trat sein musikalisches Talent schon in sehr jungen Jahren zutage. Mit 16 dirigierte Mehta schon das Orchester seines Vaters in Bombay. Für sein Studium verließ der Inder seine Heimat und ging nach Wien, wo er außer Dirigieren auch Klavier, Komposition und Kontrabass studierte. Engagements bei zahlreichen Spitzenorchestern in sehr jungen Jahren folgten, besonders lange hielt Mehta dem Israel Philharmonic Orchestra die Treue, das er vier Jahrzehnte lang formte. Am 29. April 2026 wird der auch für seine humanitären Engagements und politischen Botschaften geschätzte Dirigent 90 Jahre alt. Kirsten Liese mit einem Porträt.

Spaßeshalber droppen wir hier im ersten Satz mal names, denn welcher verhältnismäßig junge Mensch kann von sich schon behaupten, mit den Legenden Conny Froboess und Günter Pfitzmann zusammengearbeitet zu haben? Unser heutiger Gast kann es, Dennenesch Zoudé, die im Dezember des Jahres 1966 in Äthiopiens Hauptstadt Addis Abeba zur Welt und mit zwei Jahren nach West-Berlin kam. Die politischen Verhältnisse in der Heimat wurden und blieben wackelig, die Rückkehr verschob sich auf ungewisse Zeit und Dennenesch konnte auf Umwegen das tun, wofür sie wirklich brannte: Theater spielen, Singen lernen. Als Schauspielerin arbeiten. Ihre erste Rolle 1992 bestritt sie – daher auch die legendären Verweise – in der früher sehr gefeierten "Praxis Bülowbogen", ein guter Start also. Ein Blick auf Dennenesch Zoudés Stationen zeigt, dass sie sich inhaltlich nicht festlegen lassen möchte, davon zeugen Engagements als Sängerin, klassische Unterhaltungsfilme aber auch anspruchsvollen Theaterstücke. Und nun? Wird es ein ganz neues Projekt geben, über das wir natürlich auch sprechen. Neben all den Geschichten und Songs ihres Lebens.

Luxury branding strategy for premium positioning is not about surface-level aesthetics. It is about authority, perception, and strategic dominance within a clearly defined niche. For Kathryn Porritt, Founder and CEO of Iconic Empire, luxury branding strategy represents a decisive move away from commoditization and toward category leadership. Many businesses unintentionally anchor themselves in the middle of the market. They compete on incremental value, attempt to appeal to broad audiences, and rely on volume to sustain margins. Over time, this approach compresses pricing power and weakens differentiation. The brand becomes one of many options rather than the only logical choice. Luxury branding strategy challenges that model entirely. After building and selling her own multi-million-dollar company, Kathryn Porritt made a deliberate pivot. Instead of recreating a high-volume enterprise, she chose to work exclusively with accomplished experts and founders ready to reposition at the top of their markets. Her focus became helping extraordinary individuals claim iconic status by refining how they are perceived, priced, and positioned. Ford Saeks has long emphasized that positioning drives profitability. Growth without authority is fragile. When companies focus solely on marketing tactics without clarifying their premium positioning, they remain vulnerable to competition based on price. Luxury branding strategy addresses this vulnerability by elevating perception before pursuing scale. A core principle Kathryn applies is hyper-niching. While conventional wisdom encourages businesses to widen their audience, luxury branding strategy narrows it. The goal is to identify the deepest, most defensible niche where the brand can confidently claim leadership. When that clarity is established, the conversation shifts. Prospects no longer compare features. They evaluate authority. Authority transforms pricing dynamics. Premium positioning allows a business to move from justification to invitation. Rather than explaining why fees are higher, the brand communicates why it is the standard. Another defining characteristic of luxury branding strategy is the concept of descending scale. Traditional models often begin broad and attempt to climb upward into premium offerings. Kathryn advocates the opposite. Establish dominance at the highest tier first. Build brand equity through selective, high-value engagements. Once the brand is firmly anchored at the top, expansion becomes a strategic choice rather than a necessity. This approach mirrors the structure of global luxury houses that begin with exclusive offerings before extending into broader product lines. Prestige precedes scale. Luxury branding strategy also requires commercial clarity. Many experts possess deep mastery but struggle to translate that expertise into premium positioning. They undervalue their own authority because their messaging is diluted by mainstream marketing language. Kathryn's work centers on aligning how the brand communicates with the true level of capability it delivers. Ford Saeks often speaks about perception gaps. A business may generate exceptional outcomes, yet if the market perceives it as average, growth stalls. Luxury branding strategy closes that gap by ensuring that authority is visible, specific, and unmistakable. The economic environment further reinforces the importance of premium positioning. When markets tighten, companies in the middle feel the pressure first. Discounting becomes tempting. However, lowering price rarely strengthens brand equity. Instead, it signals vulnerability. Luxury branding strategy offers an alternative path. Rather than competing lower, compete higher. Premium positioning attracts a different caliber of client. Decision-making becomes more strategic. Engagements are deeper. Margins improve. Alignment increases. The experience shifts from transactional to transformational. Technology, including AI, supports execution but does not replace strategy. Automation can accelerate research, communication, and delivery. However, positioning requires discernment and vision. Tools assist. Leadership defines direction. Luxury branding strategy ultimately demands courage. It requires rejecting the comfort of broad appeal. It requires narrowing focus and standing firmly in a clearly articulated niche. It requires confidence in mastery. For leaders willing to move from commoditized to category leader, luxury branding strategy provides a disciplined framework. It is not about exclusivity for appearance. It is about clarity, authority, and sustainable premium positioning.

This episode was recorded in the summer of 2025, before the current protests in Iran. Itsi sat down with Platypus members Stanley Sharpey and Ian Morrison to talk about the history of the Left in Iran and the significance of the Iranian Revolution for the Left. We touch on Ervand Abrahamian's book "Iran Between Two Revolutions," which was read in the early days of Platypus, along with other works on Iran by writers such as Fred Halliday, Janet Afari, and Kevin Anderson on Foucault and Iran. We also talk about Platypus panels and articles that address the Iranian Revolution and the Left's historical response to it, and the millennial Left's response to the Iranian Green Movement, specifically the panel “The Green Movement and the Left: Prospects for Democracy in Iran.” Ian also reflects on his involvement during this moment, as well as his interview with Homayoun Pourzad, a trade unionist. Finally, we talk about the changing landscape of the Left from the Obama presidency to our current moment. -------- "The Green Movement and the Left: Prospects for Democracy in Iran" (3/20/10 panel) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzK9cPxPdVA&t=60s Against the status quo: An Interview with Iranian trade unionist Homayoun Pourzad - Ian Morrison: https://platypus1917.org/2010/01/08/against-the-status-quo-an-interview-with-iranian-trade-unionist-homayoun-pourzad/ The Iranian Revolution and Its Implications - Interview with Fred Halliday: https://platypus1917.org/wp-content/uploads/readings/hallidayfred_iranrev1987_NLR16202.pdf Revisiting Foucault and the Iranian Revolution- Janet Afary & Kevin B.

Markets rallied back into positive territory today, but the real risk-management lesson isn't the chart—it's behavior. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn unpack the “WD-40 & Duct Tape” framework: WD-40 reduces emotional friction when headlines and volatility try to lock up decision-making, and duct tape is the discipline that keeps your portfolio plan intact (allocation, diversification, rebalancing rules, time horizon, liquidity). We also hit real-life planning topics investors ignore until it's urgent—pre-nups, trusts, board liability, and why you shouldn't scrimp on estate planning.

Alex explores the complexities of navigating a creative career, particularly in writing and podcasting. He discusses the pervasive influence of the Author Services Industrial Complex, which capitalizes on authors' anxieties rather than genuinely helping them succeed. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the local nuances of podcasting and marketing, warning against the pitfalls of outsourcing these tasks to firms that lack a deep understanding of the creator's unique voice and audience. ---Book J.
