Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said his understanding is that the Steelers will hire Patrick Graham as their next DC. Ray talked about some of the overturn in the coaching staff and that we could see more coaches under Mike McCarthy. Ray wouldn't be surprised at all if Aaron Rodgers is back as the Steelers QB and thinks it could even be for a raise. Ray expects us to largely see the same Rodgers that we saw last season. Will it look any different in the McCarthy offense? The guys asked Ray about the love for Will Howard and if there is a real chance the kid is the Steelers QB1 by the season opener? Ray expects us to know in 4-6 weeks if Rodgers will be back. Ray immediately jumped to Malik Willis when asked about an outside QB that could be here if Rodgers decides to retire or play elsewhere.

When Is the Right Time to Open a Second Shop?Opening another shop is often seen as the obvious next step in retail growth.But knowing when to do it, and whether your business is actually ready, is far harder.In this episode of Resilient Retail Game Plan, we look at what really changes when you move from one shop to two, and then beyond.With thanks to this episode's sponsor SumUp.Get 10% off SumUp hardware with the code GamePlan10 at https://sumup.co.ukI'm Catherine Erdly, and this is Resilient Retail Game Plan — practical product business advice with a healthy dose of reality.This isn't about chasing expansion for the sake of it.

Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt uses the movie Mr. Baseball (Tom Selleck as Jack, an aging Yankees player traded to Japan) as an analogy for life in the automotive repair world—especially for veteran mechanical/technical specialists whose bodies start breaking down and whose production (and pay) can drop as a result. The core theme: your role can evolve from “hour-cranker” to leader/mentor, but that requires radical honesty, ego-checking, and intentional changes—from physical maintenance to skill expansion to management systems that properly reward wisdom.Key points & takeawaysThe “Mr. Baseball” analogyJack believes he'll dominate, but reality shows a hole in his swing and a body that's not keeping up.His old talent used to hide the problem—until it doesn't.The turnaround begins when he accepts reality, retrains, and recommits.Auto repair parallel: age vs. mileageIt's not always “age”—it's the mileage, injuries, wear, and accumulated strain.As bodies degrade (knees, backs, shoulders, hips, neck), production drops, and pay plans tied heavily to output can punish experience.Ego check: redefining valueWhen you can't “crank hours” like you used to, value doesn't disappear—it changes.Veterans often become natural leaders even if they don't recognize or accept it.Leadership, mentoring, and stabilizing the team have real economic value—if the organization is willing to see it.Management responsibilityShops can't afford to “cast blind eyes” to what veterans contribute beyond billed hours.The goal is optimizing the whole organization (the unit), not just individual output.If compensation and structure ignore mentoring/leadership value, the industry risks driving out the people who make everyone else better.Action steps for the veteran specialistTake care of the body: whatever works—massage, chiro, yoga, tai chi, mobility work, sleep/mattress upgrades, recovery habits.Expand skill sets into areas that are less physically taxing but high value (systems, diagnostics, workflow support, training others).Be honest and matter-of-fact about your limitations and your value—ask for role adjustments when needed.Culture shiftChecking egos at the door isn't weakness—it's how...

In this episode of the Expand & Evolve Podcast, I'm sharing a grounded, honest conversation about embodied discernment — what it actually looks like to trust yourself when your body says no, even when your mind is still trying to rationalize a yes.I talk about the subtle ways intuition shows up, how I've learned to listen to my body through travel, space, and reflection, and why self-trust isn't a one-time decision but an ongoing practice. This episode is for anyone who feels a quiet internal shift happening — who knows something is changing but can't fully explain it yet. If you're learning how to stop outsourcing your knowing, release external noise, and lead your life from a deeper place of integrity, this conversation is for you

Life doesn't magically change. Perspective does.In this episode of the Grow Yourself Podcast, Kevin McNulty sits down with travel writer, speaker, and author Jen Ruiz to explore how travel becomes a powerful doorway to personal growth, presence, and life redesign.Jen shares how solo travel pulled her out of autopilot, helped her confront fear and uncertainty, and ultimately reshaped her career, identity, and sense of purpose. This conversation goes far beyond packing tips or destinations. It's about using travel as a mirror for who you are, who you're becoming, and what kind of life actually fits you.Expanded Show NotesAs a lifelong traveler, Kevin McNulty has seen how stepping outside familiar routines can strip away comfort and reveal clarity. In this episode, he explores that idea with Jen Ruiz, a former attorney who challenged herself to take 12 trips in 12 months and ended up redesigning her entire life.Jen explains why travel is one of the most effective “hacks” for presence in a distracted world. New places, unfamiliar cultures, and solo experiences force us into the moment, quieting anxiety about the future and stories from the past. Together, Kevin and Jen unpack fear, growth, solitude, identity, and why the world feels far less dangerous once you actually experience it.This conversation is for anyone who feels restless, stuck, or quietly questioning whether the life they built still fits.Topics include• Why travel is a shortcut to presence and clarity• The difference between fear and danger• How solo travel builds confidence and self-trust• Why growth never stops feeling uncomfortable• How travel challenges prejudice and expands perspective• Designing your own adventure instead of following the default pathAbout JenJen Ruiz is the author of 12 Trips in 12 Months and the upcoming memoir All You Need Is Flights releasing in 2026.

Elder Bruce C. Hafen and his wife, Marie, spoke to BYU-Idaho Radio about their recent devotional expanding on the lessons taught

Kathryn Porritt is the founder and CEO of Iconic Empires, where she specializes in helping elite experts build luxury and premium positioning. With a focus on monetization expertise and authority, Kathryn works with clients to elevate their brands and expand their vision of possibilities. Her unique approach emphasizes mastery, rarity, and transformative experiences, enabling her clients to connect deeply with high-end buyers. In this episode, Mark Stiving sits down with Kathryn Porritt to explore the intricacies of selling luxury goods. They discuss the differences between luxury and premium buyers, the importance of creating an expanded vision of possibilities, and how to effectively communicate value in high-end markets.    Why You Have to Check Out This Episode: Learn why luxury buyers don't negotiate and how expanding a buyer's future vision removes price from the conversation entirely. Understand the difference between premium and luxury pricing, and why treating them the same quietly caps your revenue. Discover how elite sellers confidently say bold prices without flinching, discounting, or overselling.   "Expand a vision of possibility for people—show them what they can't see for themselves. When you focus on that, pricing becomes easy."  – Kathryn Porritt   Topics Covered: 01:30 – What Luxury Buyers Actually Buy. Why true luxury customers aren't purchasing features or value props—they're buying rarity, mastery, and first-of-its-kind experiences. 05:40 – Premium vs. Luxury: The Line Most Sellers Miss. How premium buyers still compare and negotiate—while luxury buyers step outside price entirely. 08:45 – The "Expanded Vision of Possibility" Framework. Why the most powerful pricing conversations anchor buyers in a future they didn't know was available. 12:30 – When Budgets Grow (Even in Corporations). How elite sellers expand scope and impact—causing "fixed" corporate budgets to quietly increase. 16:10 – Confidence, Control, and Saying the Number. Why the price you can say without hesitation determines whether the buyer trusts you. 19:40 – Intuition vs. Calculators in Luxury Pricing. How elite experts balance cost, margins, and intuition when there is no reference price. 23:20 – Why This Isn't Just for Luxury Brands. Mark connects the dots: this is exactly how every B2B seller should be selling value. 26:40 – One Pricing Principle That Changes Everything. Kathryn's closing advice—and why expanding possibilities is the fastest path to higher prices.   Key Takeaways: "People at this level, people who buy luxury, like true luxury buyers, they're looking for something that's not necessarily about the value." – Kathryn Porritt "That expanded vision of possibility is the difference. And like I said, that's when pricing becomes almost obsolete in the conversation." – Kathryn Porritt "For a luxury buyer, it's not about the budget." – Kathryn Porritt   People & Resources Mentioned: Iconic Empires – Kathryn's firm helping elite experts position, monetize, and sell at the highest levels. Jeff Bezos – Referenced as an example of true luxury buying behavior where budget is irrelevant Coca-Cola - Mentioned as a corporate example in the context of budget discussions for events. Luxury Market - Discussed as a distinct market segment with unique buyer motivations.   Connect with Kathryn Porritt: Website: https://www.kathrynporritt.com/ Website: https://iconicempire.com  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-porritt?originalSubdomain=au    Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Sarah Smith, Qualitative Specialist and Global Behavioral Science Strategy Lead at Oracle Life Sciences, is focused on the critical role of behavioral science in improving recruitment and retention in clinical trials.  Oracle Life Sciences is working to address historical underrepresentation in clinical trials by combining behavioral insights with integrated technologies to identify at-risk populations and understand barriers to participation. Using nudges to encourage trial participation, conducting decentralized trials, and applying AI to reshape patient engagement are strong tools for building trust and improving accessibility. Sarah explains, "Behavioral science is about understanding behavior. It draws from a number of disciplines like psychology, anthropology, and behavioral economics. But what it tells us is that people aren't rational. They don't always do the things that we expect them to do. So if we want to engage people, if we want to engage them properly, if we want to ensure that all the things we do are equitable and have an equal playing field, then we need to really understand why people do the things they do and to try and help us make sense of that in a way that encompasses everybody."   "We see treatment and technology advancing, but there are many communities that aren't part of that still, that are underrepresented. Factors like gender, ethnicity, culture, conditions that carry a stigma, socioeconomic issues, and geographic limitations - all of these things can limit the opportunity, ability, and willingness of individuals to participate in clinical trials. And that means the impact of those trials is less generalizable because those people are not represented. They're just simply not there. So the treatment that is aimed at these people is not measured in those groups. Oracle is working to address this by combining a deeper understanding of behavior with integrated technology to try to close this gap in representation to give more inclusive patient-centered care that unifies clinical, behavioral, and safety data across settings. To give a more holistic view, to give more coordinated care, to identify risks earlier, to identify patients that perhaps just need a bit more attention - a more personalized engagement."   #OracleLifeSciences #lifesciences #ClinicalResearch #PatientCentricity #PatientEngagement #ClinicalTrials #Healthliteracy #BehavioralScience #HealthEquity #AI #Healthcare #Diversity #Inclusion #MedicalResearch #Innovation Oracle.com/life-sciences  Download the transcript here

In Los Angeles, Chicago, and now Minneapolis, activists, community leaders, and concerned neighbors have organized loose-knit networks of support for what they believe will be a protracted resistance effort against the crackdowns by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. The Powwow Grounds Coffeehouse in Minneapolis is among the locations collecting food, cash, and other support for those filling the streets with whistles, drums, and their own voices. Doing so carries risk. ICE agents shot and killed one person. Many more are injured. At least one Minneapolis restaurant fended off ICE agents who attempted to enter. We'll hear from Native organizers in cities around the country about what they expect in the weeks and months ahead. GUESTS Robert Rice (White Earth Nation), owner of Pow Wow Grounds Courtney Cochran (Anishinaabe), artist, filmmaker, and community organizer Jennifer Marley (San Ildefonso), community organizer and a member of the Total Sovereignty Working Group Eva Cardenas (Mexica Chicana of Mazahua and Zapotec descent), director of organizing for the NDN Collective, the LANDBACK action network Joel Garcia (Huichol), artist, cultural organizer, and director of Meztli Projects Break 1 Music: Hope [Featuring Werner Erb] (song) Sihasin (artist) Never Surrender (album) Break 2 Music: Elle Danse [Boogat Remix] (song) Mimi O'Bonsawin (artist)

PC spending has seen a significant rebound, with Gartner reporting a 9.3% rise in worldwide PC shipments in late 2025, primarily driven by corporate IT upgrades to meet Windows 11 requirements. This recovery, which saw 10.1% growth in Q4 2025 according to Omnia data, highlights a shift from consumer-led demand to necessity-driven upgrades. Despite supply chain challenges in memory and storage, leading to cost increases, 57% of B2B partners anticipate growth in their PC business, underscoring a sustained demand for hardware management and support among MSPs.Concurrently, worldwide spending on artificial intelligence is projected to reach approximately $2.5 trillion by 2026, a 44% increase from the previous year, according to Gartner. This surge is fueled by substantial investments in AI infrastructure, which is expected to account for $1.37 trillion of the total spending. John David Lovelock of Gartner emphasizes that AI adoption success hinges not only on financial investment but also on organizational maturity and self-awareness, suggesting that the value derived from this investment is not yet as certain as the spending itself. For MSPs, this indicates a growing need to navigate the complexities of AI infrastructure deployment and demonstrate tangible value to clients.In the realm of managed services, recent strategic moves by several companies signal an evolving MSP landscape. Corsica Technologies announced 105% year-over-year growth in managed services bookings for 2025 and expanded its portfolio through acquisition, aiming for consolidation and integrated offerings. Net at Work nearly doubled its managed services division size by acquiring a regional competitor, prioritizing scale. Rhubarb IT, spun out from Mac Center, is focusing on a niche Apple-focused IT managed services model, aiming for differentiation. These expansions highlight varying strategies—consolidation, scale, and specialization—that MSPs must consider when evaluating market opportunities and competitive positioning.The implications for MSPs are multi-faceted. The PC market's recovery emphasizes the continued importance of hardware lifecycle management and support services. The explosive growth in AI spending necessitates careful evaluation of infrastructure versus value, with potential risks for organizations rushing capacity purchases without clear demand justification. Furthermore, the diverse expansion strategies among MSPs underscore the need for clear operational, contractual, and financial planning to manage integration, delivery consistency, and customer expectations. The appointment of Rob Rae as a strategic advisor to Guards highlights the critical need for transparency in vendor relationships, particularly concerning incentives, as undisclosed financial arrangements can introduce bias and risk for MSPs who rely on objective evaluation of technologies and partners. Four things to know today 00:00 PC Spending Reflects Operational Necessity While AI Spending Bets on Unproven Demand03:57 OpenAI Promises to Offset Energy and Water Impact as AI Infrastructure Outpaces Regulation05:45 MSP Growth Paths Diverge as Corsica, Net at Work, and Rhubarb IT Make Different Strategic Bets09:09 Guardz's Rob Rae Advisory Appointment Raises Transparency and Governance Questions for MSPs This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

The Year of The Fire Horse Part 1     As I sat down to share this episode, we are in that weird blur between the holidays and the start of the new year—January 21st to be exact. Somehow we're saying goodbye to January already and I'm still not sure how time is moving this fast. To be honest, I am a little under the weather today. A trip back home to Chicago gifted me more than nostalgia—sniffles and congestion that love to linger. But if there's anything amputee life has taught me, it's how to show up anyway. Healing isn't always linear, progress isn't always pretty, and sometimes the real strength is simply being here. If you've been with me for a while, you already know how excited I am about 2026. This is the Year of the Horse, and I have unapologetically embraced it. Horses are my heart—right alongside my pups—and spending time with them is healing in motion. I was out loving on them earlier that morning, enjoying Arizona sunshine that feels a little too warm for January. (I'm still waiting for winter to show up so I can actually appreciate the desert heat again.) But weather aside, the symbolism of the horse couldn't align more powerfully with the season I'm in—and the season many of you are in. What makes this year even more rare is that it isn't just the Year of the Horse. It is the Year of the Fire Horse, a cycle that doesn't come around often in the Chinese calendar. Fire brings imagery of energy, power, movement, and drive—big, explosive energy that demands expansion. When I learned that, I immediately knew I wanted to infuse that symbolism into our lives this year, especially within the amputee community. Now, if you're not an amputee, don't tune out. The beauty of this journey is that the lessons apply to anyone navigating hardship—whether your challenges are physical, medical, emotional, relational, or even professional. Struggle doesn't discriminate. But neither does growth. I've never been a fan of New Year's resolutions. January feels messy—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We're recovering from holidays, reorganizing homes, resetting routines, trying to remember what vegetables look like, and wrestling with motivation that hasn't thawed out yet. I spent those early weeks decluttering my body from holiday eating and drinking, refreshing my home, and re-establishing rhythms that support who I want to be—not just who I've been. For me, that looks like eating cleaner, scheduling movement, and taking care of my mind, my leg, my family, and my horses. I'm not a rigid scheduler by nature, but with so many things I love doing, I can't always choose—and then nothing gets done. So sometimes structure serves us. While reading about the Year of the Fire Horse, five symbolic themes showed up. I decided I'm going to break them down over several episodes and explore how they can shape our growth. Unless something major happens in my own life (because I always speak from personal experience first), we're riding that theme for a bit. The first Fire Horse theme? Movement, Momentum, and Fearless Expansion. Three words. Three mountains. Three invitations. Let's start with movement. If you're an amputee and you're unhappy with where you're at—maybe you're watching others do things you wish you could do—the number one thing I'll tell you is this: do not compare yourself to anyone else. Amputee life is not one size fits all. Body types, limb levels, insurance coverage, prosthetic technology, pain tolerance, terrain, weather, confidence—all of it changes the picture. Someone in snowy Minnesota isn't out hiking in January. Someone in Arizona isn't out walking at 115°F. Our seasons look different literally and figuratively. And that's okay. But movement matters. In fact, movement is everything. Movement is how we reclaim our bodies. Movement is how we rebuild trust. Movement is how we protect our mental health. Movement is how we remind ourselves we're alive. Prosthetics don't move us—we move us. Insurance coverage doesn't give us grit—we give us grit. And movement isn't pain-free, effortless, or pretty in the beginning. It's awkward. It's exhausting. It's uncomfortable. And some days it just feels unfair. But movement is life, and life demands movement. Even if you're not on a prosthetic yet, wheelchairs, crutches, walkers—pushing yourself counts. Motion burns energy, heals the mind, and keeps you connected to your body and your environment. And with movement comes momentum. Momentum isn't about speed—it's about direction. It's about choosing to walk to the end of the driveway today, past the neighbor's house tomorrow, and maybe around the block next week. Those baby steps are not insignificant. They are data. They are discipline. They are the quiet stacking of strength. I still remember thinking I could walk a mile as soon as I got cleared for my prosthetic. I didn't make it past three houses. I was disappointed at first, but then I realized something important: I had found my baseline. You cannot grow if you don't know where you're starting from. Momentum begins with honesty. Momentum is also how you build trust with your prosthesis—trust up a curb, down a hill, over uneven terrain, and through the hundred tiny adjustments your body makes to learn this new dance. Prosthesis + confidence is earned, not given. And it starts one step at a time. Then comes the third theme: fearless expansion.     Let me be very clear—fearless does not mean the absence of fear. It means facing fear. Every amputee I've ever met battles fear. Fear of falling. Fear of looking foolish. Fear of pain. Fear of malfunction. Fear of being judged. Fear of being stared at. Fear of being misunderstood. Fear of being trapped in this new reality forever. Fearless expansion is courage in motion. It's putting on your leg even when you don't feel like it. It's going out in public before your gait feels steady. It's learning how to trust a piece of machinery that now represents a part of your body. It's standing back up every time you fall—literally or metaphorically. And here's the truth: what you do now determines what your future looks like. I'm not worried about being 80 yet—but I know how I move my body today will directly affect that version of me.     I'm wired for action. Consuming content without integration doesn't create change. So here's your call to action: If you're not moving, start. Not a marathon. Not a hike. Not a PR. Just movement. Ask yourself: What do I want my future to look like? Where do I want expansion? What scares me—and am I willing to face it? Maybe your goal is more steps. Maybe it's longer prosthetic wear time. Maybe it's a grocery run. Maybe it's cooking a meal standing up. Maybe it's just putting the leg on today. Compete only with yesterday's version of you. If you get stronger, braver, and more resilient by even 1%—you're winning. And if you need accountability, reach out. DM me. Join me. I'm launching a virtual challenge soon—Year of the Horse themed, of course—and I want you on my team. Because momentum is easier when you're not doing it alone. So get moving. Build momentum. Expand fearlessly. Face the fire horse energy and ride it into the life you deserve. Get moving, Warriors!   And as always— be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much Love,    

A CEO's take on AI and the future of content creationYou've probably scrolled past it without realizing it. A song on your feed that sounds human—but isn't. An influencer landing brand deals—who doesn't exist. And suddenly, the creative world feels split on how this is set to impact the creator industry. In this episode of Brains Byte Back, Erick Espinosa sits down with Shahrzad Rafati, Founder and CEO of RHEI, to discuss how AI is influencing the creator economy. Will the evolutionary technology scale creativity, or stifle it? Instead of focusing on fear-driven headlines about fake artists and synthetic stars, this conversation zooms out, looking at AI as an assistive tool, similar to other industries. It looks at what creators are actually struggling with today, including burnout, overload, and the endless work that gets in the way of making meaningful things. Shahrzad discuss why time is the real constraint for creators, how AI tools, like RHEI, can act more like a behind-the-scenes teammate, and why we need to retire the cynical misconception that AI replaces creativity. Instead, emphasizing the importance of focusing on human signals. Because while AI can flood the world with saturated content and shape what people see, culture is still defined by human intent, authorship, and genuine human connection. Find out more about Shahrzad Rafati here.Learn more about RHEI here.Reach out to today's host, Erick Espinosa - erick@sociable.coGet the latest on tech news - https://sociable.co/ Leave an iTunes review  - https://rb.gy/ampk26Follow us on your favourite podcast platform - https://link.chtbl.com/rN3x4ecY

Growing allegations that the Islamic Republic of Iran may have used chemical agents against protesters have intensified scrutiny of the regime's most recent crackdown, described by observers as the deadliest suppression of public dissent in the country's modern history. The claims gained momentum following the circulation of footage from Sabzevar showing Iranian security forces equipped with protective gear typically associated with hazardous chemical environments, as well as testimony from protesters in Tehran describing prolonged and unusual medical symptoms after exposure to what authorities labeled “tear gas.” Video at Iran So Far Away.     source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/GBNT1952/status/2013441161247998050?s=20 This is how states demonstrate commitment along a shared line of effort without firing a shot: visible logistics, presence, and implied backing that complicate an opponent's decision cycle. This is also why the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is on the way to the Middle East as we speak. From a doctrinal standpoint, this kind of move deliberately raises the escalation ladder, forcing US planners to account not just for Iranian responses, but for second and third order effects involving a near peer competitor. That reality likely explains why President Trump has avoided striking Iranian targets, because any kinetic action now risks collapsing the problem set from a regional contingency into a multi theater confrontation. In simple terms, Iran stops being a standalone target and becomes part of a larger system tied to Chinese interests, and no serious commander ignores force posture, alliance signaling, and deterrence dynamics when weighing an OPLAN. China obviously understands this, which is precisely why these moves matter: they restrict American freedom of action by design, without ever needing to engage directly. Thus the Iran problem becomes even more complex.

WASHINGTON DC – President Trump has expanded the mission of his proposed Gaza Board of Peace into a global body that would take on the role mediating conflicts currently held by the United Nations and carry a $1 billion fee for a permanent seat, according to a charter sent to prospective members. “It's hard not to read this as an attempt to establish a precedent in Gaza that could be used elsewhere in terms of saying that Trump is going to be calling the global shots here, and you either fall in line or you're not part of the process,” said Julien Barnes-Dacey, director of the Middle East and North Africa program at the European Council on Foreign Relations. (read more) Figured that out all on their own, did they?

The largely peaceful protests intensified after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency officer shot and killed Reneé Good, a Minneapolis mother, after an encounter. “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of ICE who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT,” Trump wrote last Thursday morning on Truth Social, adding that the move would “quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great state.” He has already alerted 1,500 troops in Alaska for possible deployment to Minnesota. If he does it, the action will certainly face legal challenges. Occasional acts of violence do not an insurrection make. But don't bet on the Supreme Court to block Trump from invoking the law. Before this court, the bottom line is that Trump usually wins.   Americans have been traditionally uncomfortable with the use of the military for domestic law enforcement. Granted, the law gives the president power to deploy troops in an emergency. Trump tried it with the National Guard in Chicago but was shot down by the Supreme Court because of the statutory requirement of showing that “regular forces,” namely the military, would not be effective in executing the law.  Does Trump see the deployment of the military in Minnesota as a dress rehearsal for the armed forces policing key polling places to intimidate voters and seize voting machines? A slippery slope is always dangerous, and a slippery slope from a fragile democracy to a malignant authoritarianism is a real red flag for all of us.

The Rule That Broke For a decade, SEO had one simple goal: rank higher than everyone else. That rule just died. Patients are not typing “orthodontist near me” and clicking through five websites anymore. They are asking ChatGPT. They are reading Google AI Overviews. They are using conversational tools that skip the ten blue links entirely. Here’s what most practices have not realized yet. AI search engines do not rank practices. They select them. If you are not selected, you are invisible. Your beautiful website does not matter. Your years of “doing SEO” do not matter. This shift changes everything. Get your Free SEO Audit: https://hip.agency/contact/ Grab your copy of Orthodontic Practice SEO: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GGBWLBLR Apple: https://books.apple.com/us/book/orthodontic-practice-seo/id6757766846 From Rankings To Recommendations Traditional search worked like a phone book. You searched. You clicked. You compared. You decided. AI search collapses that entire process into one conversation. Instead of forcing patients to research five options, AI tools recommend providers directly. Often just one or two practices. That’s it. This is not a ranking system. It’s a trust system. Google’s AI Overviews answer questions directly at the top of results. ChatGPT does not pretend to be a search engine. It acts like a knowledgeable assistant guiding decisions in real time. When a parent asks, “Who’s the best orthodontist for Invisalign for my teen near me?” the AI does not say: “Here are ten websites. Good luck.” It says: “Based on your needs, I recommend these providers.” If you are not in that answer, you do not get a second chance. Free Growth Session Why Your Old SEO Playbook Just Stopped Working Classic SEO rewarded keywords, backlinks, page optimization, and technical performance. All of that still matters, but it’s no longer enough. AI engines work differently. They summarize instead of list. They cite instead of rank. They select sources instead of pages. Instead of ordering websites by relevance, AI evaluates who appears trustworthy, who demonstrates real expertise, and who can be safely recommended without risk. This explains why some practices with fewer backlinks or lower traditional rankings suddenly appear in AI answers while others with “strong SEO” vanish completely. AI is not asking, “Who optimized best?” It’s asking, “Who do I trust enough to recommend?” The Real Ranking System — Trust Over Traffic Every AI search engine relies on the same decision framework. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity. All of them. They look for three core signals. 1. Topical Authority Do you own the topic, or are you just scratching the surface? One Invisalign page optimized for keywords no longer signals expertise. AI looks for topic ownership. A full ecosystem of content proving you understand the subject from every angle. Cost and financing. Treatment timelines. Comparisons versus alternatives. Maintenance and care. Suitability for teens versus adults. Risks, outcomes, and expectations. If your site answers only one of these, AI assumes you are not the expert. 2. Verifiable Credibility AI does not trust claims. It trusts proof. It actively scans for board certification, recognized provider tiers, awards and “best of” recognition, years in practice, case volume, and external validation. These signals matter more now because AI must justify its recommendations. It cannot guess. 3. External Trust Signals AI does not rely solely on your website. It cross-checks reviews across multiple platforms. Not just Google. Authoritative directories. Press mentions. Industry listings. Community validation. The more independent sources confirm your legitimacy, the more comfortable AI becomes recommending you. Free Growth Session Why One Page Will Never Be Enough Again For years, SEO rewarded focus. Pick a keyword. Optimize a page. Build links. Win. AI rewards depth. When someone asks about Invisalign, AI does not want a sales page. It wants confidence that you are the authority. That’s why topical clusters matter now. One core Invisalign page. Supporting pages on cost, care, timelines, and alternatives. FAQs written in clear, extractable language. Structured formatting AI can easily parse. This is not about writing more content for the sake of content. It’s about removing doubt. AI selects practices that leave no unanswered questions. The Trust Signals That Actually Trigger Recommendations Here’s where most practices fall short. They have credibility. They just do not surface it clearly enough for AI to verify. AI strongly favors practices that explicitly showcase board certification with outbound verification links, awards tied to authoritative publications, review volume across multiple platforms, mentions from high-authority websites, and transparent doctor bios with credentials and education. This is why press placements and authoritative citations now punch far above their weight. A single mention on a trusted outlet can matter more than dozens of generic backlinks. AI recognizes the source. Free Growth Session Being Selected Beats Being Ranked Traditional SEO is competitive. AI visibility is compounding. Once AI begins recommending a practice, it appears repeatedly in similar conversations. Each mention reinforces authority. The practice becomes a default choice. This mirrors early Google SEO, but with fewer spots and higher stakes. In classic search, being number five still meant traffic. In AI search, being number five often means nothing. Only the selected practices win. How To Become The Practice AI Chooses This is not theory. It’s execution. Here’s what actually moves the needle. Shift from pages to topic ecosystems. Own entire treatment categories, not just keywords. Surface credibility aggressively and clearly. Credentials, awards, and experience should be impossible to miss. Expand reviews beyond Google. AI pulls from multiple platforms. Diversification matters. Secure authoritative citations, not random links. Focus on sources AI already trusts. Structure content for AI extraction. Clear headers, FAQs, concise answers, and schema markup. Actively monitor AI recommendations. Search manually. Track visibility. Learn from who’s being selected and why. Free Growth Session Trust Is The New Ranking Factor SEO did not disappear. It evolved. The practices that will win over the next decade are not the ones chasing algorithms. They are the ones building undeniable credibility. AI does not reward clever tricks. It rewards certainty. In a world where patients increasingly let AI guide their decisions, the question is no longer “How do I rank higher?” It’s “Why should AI trust me enough to recommend me at all?” Answer that convincingly, and rankings stop mattering.

The deal isn't closed by force; it's closed by clarity. Most enterprise leaders are currently white-knuckling the steering wheel, treating AI like a basic search engine while their competitive advantage evaporates. This episode shifts the perspective: AI is not just a tool; it is a mech suit for your mind designed to expand your capacity and regulate your output. We navigate the transition from manual friction to bio-electric leverage. You will learn how to move beyond simple queries to engage AI as a strategic thought partner. This allows you to iterate faster, fail forward in private, and show up to every high-stakes meeting with the unshakable groundedness of a leader who has already mapped every variable. Regulation is the new competitive advantage. In this episode, you will discover: The Exoskeleton Mindset: Why your biological bandwidth requires a mechanized frame to scale in the current environment. Frictionless Iteration: How to use AI to "fail fast" and refine your vision before you ever step into the boardroom. Somatic Certainty: Using deep data preparation to achieve psychological safety, ensuring your "energetic marker" signals authority, not anxiety. The Champion's Toolkit: Leveraging Google NotebookLM and other assets to make the "yes" easy for your stakeholders. Stop operating at 1x capacity. Start regulating your resonance and leveraging the physics of the modern deal. The advantage belongs to those who move with the least friction.

What happens when a weary soul encounters the living Word of God? In this powerful message, we open Psalm 119:25–28 and discover that the Word of God is not merely informative—it is restorative. Scripture reveals that God's Word revives the weary, strengthens the weak, restores the broken, and sustains the believer. As part of our ARISE vision—Awaken. Restore. Invest. Send. Expand.—this service focuses on the truth that awakening is only the beginning. God does not simply wake His people; He restores them, and His Word is the source. In this message, you'll hear how the Word of God: • Restores joy to the weary soul • Rekindles fire, praise, and worship in difficult seasons • Renews strength for endurance • Rebuilds hope for the future • Reawakens purpose in every believer We also proclaim the gospel clearly—restoration begins with reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ. By His blood, we are redeemed. By grace through faith, we are made new. And through the living Word, restoration continues in our lives today. If you are hurting, weary, discouraged, or searching for renewal, this service is for you. Shady Grove Church is committed to being a church of restoration—a refuge church—where the Word is honored and the Spirit moves.

In this episode, I'm sharing the real story behind why I wrote Soulfire, what Spirit asked of me, what it took to birth it, and why this book feels bigger than anything I've ever created.   If you've ever felt called to something more… If you know you're here for a soul mission but traditional paths don't fit… If you've tried following the “right” strategies and still felt misaligned… This conversation is for you.   In this session, I open up about my journey as a spiritual entrepreneur, the gaps I saw in the business world for light leaders, and why Soulfire was co-created as a coded activation, not just a book. This work bridges spirituality and business, soul and strategy, inner alignment and outer success.   You'll hear how Spirit led every step, why fifth-dimensional business follows different rules, and how soul alignment, not hustle, became the foundation of everything I built.   This is an invitation to lead differently. To build differently. To remember why you came here. If Soulfire is calling you, trust that nudge.
