Also available in markdown at theMultiplicity.ai/blog/schelling-goodness. This post explores a notion I'll call Schelling goodness. Claims of Schelling goodness are not first-order moral verdicts like "X is good" or "X is bad." They are claims about a class of hypothetical coordination games in the sense of Thomas Schelling, where the task being coordinated on is a moral verdict. In each such game, participants aim to give the same response regarding a moral question, by reasoning about what a very diverse population of intelligent beings would converge on, using only broadly shared constraints: common knowledge of the question at hand, and background knowledge from the survival and growth pressures that shape successful civilizations. Unlike many Schelling coordination games, we'll be focused on scenarios with no shared history or knowledge amongst the participants, other than being from successful civilizations. Importantly: To say "X is Schelling-good" is not at all the same as saying "X is good". Rather, it will be defined as a claim about what a large class of agents would say, if they were required to choose between saying "X is good" and "X is bad" and aiming for a mutually agreed-upon answer.

What is trauma-informed leadership, and why does it matter in today's workplace? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Dr. Melanie Gray shares how trauma-informed care transforms leadership, strengthens workplace culture, and prevents burnout before it derails careers. Drawing from over 25 years in healthcare, higher education, and corporate leadership, Dr. Gray explains how trauma shapes behavior, how generational stress impacts performance, and why confidence is built through intentional self-leadership. If you are a high-achieving woman considering leaving corporate, building a consulting business, or leading teams through change, this episode delivers practical wisdom on resilience, emotional safety, confidence, and long-term leadership sustainability. What You Will Learn: How trauma-informed leadership shifts workplace culture by asking what happened to someone rather than what is wrong with them. What generational trauma and adverse childhood experiences mean for confidence, communication, and leadership development. How unresolved trauma contributes to burnout, anxiety, and disengagement in corporate environments. What practical steps leaders can take to build emotionally safe and resilient teams. How to assess personal skills and strategically prepare for a transition from corporate to entrepreneurship. What confidence truly looks like when it is built through preparation, data, and intentional action rather than perfectionism. How planning financial runway reduces anxiety when launching a consulting business. What separates sustainable business growth from temporary virality and surface-level success. How structured coaching with defined goals creates measurable transformation instead of dependency. What it takes to lead with compassion while still holding high standards for performance and accountability. FAQ: What is trauma-informed leadership? Trauma-informed leadership is a framework that considers how past experiences, including adverse childhood experiences and generational stress, influence present behavior, communication, and performance in the workplace. How does trauma affect workplace performance? Trauma can impact confidence, emotional regulation, communication patterns, and stress responses, which may show up as withdrawal, defensiveness, burnout, or disengagement. How do I confidently leave corporate to start a consulting business? Confidence increases when leaders assess their skills, create a financial runway, build required competencies in advance, and transition with a structured plan rather than reacting to anxiety or corporate restructuring.

What if the reason your marketing "isn't working" these days isn't your team — but your strategy? In today's environment, buyers are changing faster than most companies can keep up. Sales teams are frustrated. Leads are down. And what used to work suddenly doesn't. The real issue? Most organizations are still operating with outdated assumptions about how to turn their prospects into customers. In this episode, Rachel sits down with Karen Hayward, Managing Partner & CMO at Chief Outsiders and author of Stop Random Acts of Marketing, to unpack what modern growth really requires — and why CEOs must reclaim ownership of it. Karen brings more than 20 years of experience advising Fortune 1,000 and mid-market companies. At Chief Outsiders, she leads a team of 40-plus CMOs and CSOs, helping organizations align sales and marketing around the voice of the customer to accelerate revenue. She's a Vistage and TEC-certified speaker, guest lecturer, and trusted advisor to CEOs and private equity leaders ready to build growth engines in today's marketplace. In this episode, Karen breaks down how to replace marketing chaos with a disciplined strategy. The Modern Buyer Has Changed — Has Your Strategy? Today's landscape paints a generationally different picture of consumer behavior than the one many of us grew up with. Nearly 65% of B2B buyers are now Millennials or Gen Z. They research independently. They distrust early sales engagement. They want rep-free or digital-first buying experiences. And increasingly, they're discovering companies through AI platforms. If your growth engine still relies on cold outreach and traditional sales funnels, you're misaligned with how today's customers actually want to buy. Karen explains that marketing now owns the majority of the funnel. Her advice? Start with the voice of the customer. Interview recent wins and losses. Identify what customers truly value — not what you assume they value. Then align positioning, messaging, and sales enablement around that insight. From Random Acts to Real Results One of the most common mistakes Karen sees? Companies executing disconnected tactics without a cohesive strategy. Instead, she urges leaders to focus on three foundational pillars: Deep customer insight Clear competitive positioning Honest understanding of company strengths Only then should you invest in acquisition. Karen also shares tactical wins leaders can implement immediately: Record discovery calls and use AI to tighten proposal alignment Run an AEO grader report to evaluate how AI platforms see your business Build robust FAQ content based on real buyer questions The throughline? Discipline over randomness. Marketing remains full of engagement metrics and busy dashboards, but true success relies on measurable growth. Enjoy this episode with Karen Hayward… Soundbytes 09:21 – 09:32 "About 65%-plus of B2B buyers today are millennial or Gen Z. And they buy drastically differently than baby boomers do." 37:46 – 38:30 "By the time the salesperson gets engaged, you have very little time to build trust. So how do you coach yourself to get better on the at-bats that you have given how little time you have? So the one thing I would do with the sales team, or with BD people, or with founders, or with you — if you're talking to clients — is I would record the initial conversation with the client and understand what their needs are. I would record that. And then I would send a follow-up email to them with a summary of what they said, and I'd ask them to correct me." Quotes "Marketing now owns most of the sales and marketing funnel." "Stop doing random acts of marketing and hoping something works." "You can't rely on your sales force to tell you why you're winning and losing." "Open the door and ask about them first." "Engagement doesn't pay payroll."

This is our final anchor in this series, at least for now. And I want to be really intentional about how we close this chapter together. Moving on from here, we will return to our regular bi-weekly episodes. And who knows, if there is a need and if it feels aligned, I may gather these anchors into their own dedicated resource so that you can revisit them whenever you want. On a recent call I had with my personal development coach, she said to me, you know, you haven't built a business. Your business has built you. And I immediately knew exactly what she meant by this because I've always from the very beginning from that very first vivid vivid dream I had of ōNLē and the products I've known that ōNLē is much bigger than me. She went on to explain that ōNLē is its own consciousness and that I was given a really hard experience so that this consciousness ōNLē could flow through me and I could live out my life purpose of sharing this profound healing.And I know this is true for you too. Whatever you are experiencing right now, whether you are healing your child or yourself or you are expanding and stepping into the next version of yourself or building a business or experiencing a hard or very delightful time in your marriage, whatever you are experiencing in life right now, it's bigger than you.You are so brave, you are so courageous, and I am so proud of you. Now, before you go, let's just take a minute here to gently set our anchors for the day. Today, I commit to nourishing my body with microbiome-friendly food and abundant water. Today, I choose to support my gut, mind, brain, nervous system, and liver with my rebalancing and maintenance supplements. Today, I trust that I'm safe and that everything is always working for me. And today, I will choose one small action that supports the life I am affirming. That small action could just be listening to this episode. It could be doing the journaling prompts, even though it's going to feel hard. There's a big part of you that wants to resist because this state that you've been living in for probably most of your life, it's familiar. Your nervous system's job is to keep you safe in that familiar. but it's okay to slowly expand beyond, to move where you wanna go in a way that feels good in your body.May your heart feel supported, your body feel safe, and your intuition lead your day. Trust your body, follow your gut. Thanks for listening!

Hablar de hiperpop en 2026 ya no tiene sentido. El sonido que dio origen a la etiqueta pudo parecer vanguardista en su momento, pero hoy es como mirar un Nokia 3310. El hiperpop no es más que el pop del presente, y Underscores es una de sus representantes más fieles. Su propuesta es caótica y digital; por momentos incómoda, siempre yuxtapuesta y retorcida, pero profundamente magnética. Música concebida para resonar en “centros comerciales, aeropuertos, hoteles y supermercados". El tercer LP de April Harper Grey bajo el alias Underscores llevará por título 'U' y se publicará el 20 de marzo.Además, Almudena Amor se asoma a nuestro cuestionario cultural en FAQ!

Mark Sweeney, senior vice president of mid‑market growth and global commercial strategy at Citrix As of this week, MSPs and resellers working with Citrix may notice their partner relationship looks a little different. On March 1, Citrix officially expanded its long-standing partnership with Arrow Electronics, shifting more of the day-to-day management of its Service Provider partners in North America and Europe to the distributor. The move builds on an existing relationship between the two companies, but goes further — touching partner engagement, transactions, and how partners interact with the Citrix ecosystem overall. For MSPs and resellers, especially in Canada, changes like this tend to raise practical questions. What's actually changing in the partner experience? Why make this move now? What responsibilities remain with Citrix, and which ones move to Arrow? And what does this mean for quoting, renewals, incentives, and support escalation? In this episode of the podcast, we're joined by Mark Sweeney to help unpack the announcement. We talk through what Citrix had already handed over to Arrow, what's new as of March 1, and how the company sees this shift fitting into its broader channel strategy. The conversation also takes a Canada-specific lens, exploring what this transition means for Canadian MSPs and resellers, and what partners should be thinking about as the new model settles in. We wrap with a look ahead at what comes next — and how partners can position themselves to get the most value from the change. Read Full Transcript Hello and welcome to the ChannelBuzz.ca podcast, bringing news and information to the Canadian IT channel for the last 16 years. I’m Robert Dutt, editor of ChannelBuzz.ca, and as always, your host for the show. If you’re an MSP or a reseller working with Citrix, as of this week, your relationship with the vendor may look a little different. Earlier this year, Citrix announced it’s expanding its partnership with distributor Arrow Electronics, handing over more of the day-to-day management of its service provider partners in North America and Europe. That change officially took place March 1st. Citrix and Arrow have already been working together for some time, but this move goes further, affecting things like partner engagement, transactions, incentives, and how partners interact with the Citrix ecosystem overall. For MSPs and resellers here in Canada, it naturally raises questions. What’s actually changing? Why now? What stays with Citrix? What shifts to Arrow? And most importantly, what does it all mean to your day-to-day business? To help unpack all of that, I’m joined by Mark Sweeney from Citrix. Mark’s been deeply involved in the company’s channel strategy and is here to walk us through not just what is changing, but why Citrix believes it’s the right move and how partners can get the most out of the transition. So let’s dive right in. Robert Dutt: Mark, thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it. Mark Sweeney: No, thanks for having me, Robert. Robert Dutt: I guess let’s start with a little bit of context first. You guys have been working with Arrow Electronics for a long time as a distribution partner and more recently, over the past little while, have handed over a little bit more responsibility and management to Arrow. I guess to level set it, can you walk me through before this March 1 announcement, what part of the relationships had already been managed by Arrow and what parts did Citrix still manage or handle directly? Mark Sweeney: Sure. Thanks for that. You’re right. Over the past numerous years, we’ve had a long and outstanding relationship with our friends at Arrow and it historically was a distribution-related arrangement that we had with them. Over the past two years, I would say that that relationship has started to change and evolve into where we see it today. Specifically, I would say it was probably about 18 months ago where we started to extend more of our business over to Arrow. That specific piece was around our CSP business. That was below a certain threshold. The threshold being about 2,000 users. Any of our CSP, MSP partners that were providing services to end users, we actually shifted those over to Arrow about 18 months ago to start supporting that business. The initial approach that we saw was very healthy and very good. One of the things that we wanted to do was actually extend that a little bit further. We looked at some of our mid-market customers and any of our mid-market customers that we didn’t manage with our enterprise team. We started to have Arrow actually manage them from a go-to-market perspective as well. The first idea there was to start to remove friction between the CSP business that was managing the same type of customers that were existing in our mid-market space. That happened probably about 12 months ago. During that period of time, our enterprise team continued to manage enterprise customers and larger MSPs that were above that 2,000 user threshold. If you thought about it and you just drew a line into our business, anyone that was below that 2,000 threshold was probably being managed by Arrow and anyone above was being managed by our enterprise team. Robert Dutt: We look forward to March 1 as that goes live, as that has gone live. What actually changes for a Citrix service provider or MSP partner of yours with this further transition to Arrow? Mark Sweeney: If there were MSP partners that were being managed by named account executives as part of Citrix, those MSP customers are also being moved over to Arrow as of March 1. Now, we’ve already communicated that to them. If not all of the MSPs should have received communication from us and from Arrow on this. I’ve also posted myself on LinkedIn about this. Anyone who was an MSP before, they are now also going to be managed by Arrow. Robert Dutt: Why make the move now? Was this something that partners were asking for? Is it sort of about where you’re at and where you want to take the channel? Mark Sweeney: I like to say, “Why not now?” The reason why I say that is because we saw some very good success with Arrow in our mid-market space and then also in our MSP business. What we also saw was a little bit of friction, as I mentioned earlier, in the smaller CSPs but then also in the mid-market space because we’re selling into the same market. What we wanted to do was we wanted to remove that friction entirely so that all MSPs now could be worked and can be functioning as a single entity that’s being managed by Arrow. What that allows us to do is really begin to focus on our innovation of our technology but then also allow us to give further support to our product development teams or product engineering teams, all of our support teams. I think for us, it wasn’t necessarily that it had to be done on March 1st, but I think it was just more of a natural time for us to do it as it was occurring 12 months after the mid-market space, 18 months after the initial CSP space. That’s why I think now is probably the best time. Robert Dutt: Continue to pull on that thread that you just introduced there. As this transition is complete, in terms of the partner business, where does Citrix stay very hands-on and where does Arrow kind of fully take the wheel? Mark Sweeney: I would say that Arrow is fully taking the wheel on all the business that is mid-market business. Anything where our enterprise account executives aren’t managing the team, they’re going to be there. Any of our service providers, any of our managed service providers, Arrow is taking the full reins too. But we still have a channel team and our channel team is still going to be managed by Kerry Saunders in the US from an enterprise perspective. For the enterprise CSA channel partners out there, they’re still going to be managed. We’re still going to be building this team. We’re still going to be managing that team. I’m working very closely with Kerry and her team. My counterparts on Arrow are actually working very closely with Kerry and her team as well. I’ll also say that I’m fully supporting the Arrow business right now and I have a team that’s supporting the Arrow business as well. We have Citrix representation that is going to be supporting all of our partners across the business. Robert Dutt: Most of our listeners are Canadian MSPs and resellers, folks who’ve been working with you or with Arrow historically. But as this transition happens, what can they expect to feel different in Canada compared to the rest of North America, if anything? Mark Sweeney: This business, what we’re doing is not just happening in North America as well. This is also happening in Europe. I’m based out of London, England, as I’m sure you hear the accent, originally American. I’ve actually spent a couple of years in Canada and in the Mississauga-Etobicoke area when we had our office there. I have had the opportunity to meet a number of your partners and your customers in the region. I don’t think anything is going to change based on geography. Anything that we’re going to see in the US is likely what we’re going to see in Canada. Similar things that we’re going to see in Europe. I would say immediate changes, there really aren’t going to be any. I think a lot of the business that we’ve already worked on with the channel partners in Canada as well as the other regions is going to be an extension. Any of the contracts that you have in place with us, those are being assigned out to the Arrow team. You’re not going to see anything change there. I did have the opportunity to spend a few days with Arrow and their leadership last week in Spain talking about strategies. One thing that it’s not a change, but I would think of it more as an opportunity. There are a lot of technologies that Arrow is exploring outside of Citrix. If I were to give one recommendation to the Canadian team, it is to work with your Arrow counterparts to see what other technologies that they have inside of their portfolio that could potentially play into what you’re doing as an MSP or in the mid-market. Given what they’re doing, there are some areas of synergy in terms of being able to potentially expand the portfolio that some of the managed service providers are actually providing to their customers. Robert Dutt: Along those same lines, what can partners do to make sure this is as smooth a transition as possible for them, to make things as simple as possible? What are you doing to make sure this is as simple a process as possible? This hopefully simplifies things for partners. I don’t think any channel chief ever sets out to make things more complex. Mark Sweeney: Two answers to that. I think the first is what I’m doing. In North America, I’m establishing a team that’s going to be dedicated to supporting the MSP business and our MSP partners, and then also a team that’s going to be supporting our mid-market team too. The reason why I’ve kept them separate is specifically what you just said, to provide this as seamless as possible so that we have subject matter experts on the MSP business and then subject matter experts on the mid-market business. I think that’s probably the first thing. Keep in mind that these are overlays from a Citrix standpoint, so there are going to be direct counterparts for Arrow that will be able to work with your partners in Canada. I think the first thing that I would recommend to any of the MSPs in Canada is to identify who your account executive is going to be from an Arrow standpoint and reach out to that person as quickly as you can. Don’t wait for a renewal to happen. Don’t wait for an expansion need to happen. Really understand what your business looks like today. Understand if you have customers, if you are looking to expand what that looks like, reach out to your account team. In the FAQ that should be shared, you should be able to find it. In North America, there’s a gentleman by the name of John Heller who is available for you to reach. He’s based in the US. Then you’ve also got myself, Mark Sweeney, that you could reach out to if you’re having any challenges identifying who your account executive is. I would say, again, two things just to summarize. I’m building a team to help support. Then from your perspective, just go ahead and reach out to your account executive as quickly as you can. Robert Dutt: Any time a vendor shifts responsibilities like this, I think there’s a natural tendency for partners to worry about support and escalation, those sorts of things, about being a step further away from the vendor in abstraction and potentially worst case scenario becoming that proverbial pop fly that drops harmlessly between two fielders who both presume the other guy’s got the ball. What are you guys doing to make sure that that doesn’t happen? What safeguards are in place? You discussed a little bit having that overlap already, but what else are you doing to make sure partners’ fears around that may be assuaged if they’re out there? Mark Sweeney: Sure. To play on your reference a little bit, because I don’t get to talk about baseball too often and it’s always cricket related, I will say that it’s important for us to call the ball. If I’m in center field and the ball’s coming my way and I’ve got my left fielder over there, I want to make sure I know who has what. I think the first thing we’re doing is creating rules of engagement between our two partners so we understand who’s doing what. From a support perspective, that support is still being handled by Citrix. Anything that’s tier one related or tier two related, you’re still calling or you’re still working into the Citrix support teams. You still have contact information from Citrix support people that you can work with, but from a go-to-market perspective, that’s where you’re going to be working with the Arrow team. I think we’ve drawn very clear lines in terms of who’s doing what. We have our support team that’s being managed, the support still being managed by Citrix. All the go-to-market functions are going to be managed by Arrow. So I think that’s the first thing to keep in mind. The second thing is to think holistically, why are we even doing this? We’re doing this because we want to dedicate more resource to our innovation. We want to dedicate more resource to our supportability of our products. We want to dedicate more of our resource just to the overall adoption and consumption of everything that we’re trying to do from a technology perspective. I understand that and I’ve heard that before and I’ve had conversations with partners and customers on this, but I think when you actually dive into it to say, “Why are we doing it?” I think the answer to that “why” is what should actually make you feel better. The reason why is because we’re trying to invest more in innovation and support engineering and product development and product management. We’re actually seeing quick execution and quick successes from a lot of that as we continue to expand on our technology and our platform and our portfolio. Then again, on the support perspective, we’re still managing that and then the go-to-market functions are going to be managed by Arrow. Robert Dutt: Zooming out a bit from that, how does this Arrow partnership and this new structure fit into the overall picture of where you guys want to take your channel community over the next year or two? Mark Sweeney: I think our channel community is incredibly important to us as a whole. When we look at who our channel partners are, the ones that have been working with us for the past dozen years, they know who we are as an organization. They know what we’ve been doing from a technology perspective. If you look at where we are building our channel program right now, more on Kerry Saunders’ team, a lot of it right now is identifying the partners that are providing value-added services into our product community and into our customer community. I think where I start to think about what’s going to happen in the future is a lot of this is like, what more can we be providing to our customers and how can we do that with our channel? This allows us to help enable our channel even further, start to enable our channel around some of the concepts that we’re thinking specifically around persona-based selling, persona-based consumption. One of the things that we’re working with our consulting teams and our technical teams right now is around the concepts that we really want our customers to think about us as a company that secures the work. The way we do that is by looking at various personas across our customer base. We want our channel partners to really understand that concept and work with customers to identify them as a persona that is focused on the modern worker, somebody who’s using SaaS-based applications on a regular basis, personas that are task-based workers, think about call centers, things like that, knowledge-based workers, maybe somebody that needs more access to more specialized applications. Then you may have power users. I think working with our channel to build that out, build that strategy out so that we could go more wall-to-wall with customers is where I see our business going towards in the next few years. Robert Dutt: Before we wrap up, I’m sure you’ve been talking to a lot of partners about this change as you formulated it and since it was announced and out there, and channel partners are not a notoriously shy bunch in terms of sharing opinions. I’m curious if you had one misconception that you’ve heard from partners or otherwise in the market about this announcement that you’d like to clear up. Mark Sweeney: I haven’t heard a misconception yet. I think that’s a good thing. I did have some conversations with a few of the partners already. For the most part, and I’ll say for the whole part, it’s actually been very positive. I think the piece about removing the friction is one of the critical pieces. I think our channel partners and our managed service providers are very excited about the fact that we’ve removed that friction and we’re allowing that ability to really sell into all of the spaces out there. I’ll double back on one of the points that you raised and it’s that point of what’s going to happen. Is there going to be any miss or any like missing the fly ball? I think that’s not a misconception I’ve heard yet. That’s a misconception I heard last year. That’s probably still out there a little bit. I mean, you’ve asked the question and I think where I want your partners in Canada to think about is we have done this for a specific reason and that specific reason is because we saw significant growth in the relationship in the business over the past 18 months. We saw that also give us the ability to really focus on our innovation and our technology and our support and product management capabilities. The reason why we’re extending it is because we’ve seen success early on and we want to continue that success and we want to build on that momentum. I would say that’s probably, even though I haven’t heard something yet, that would be the reason why I think it could be out there. Robert Dutt: Mark, I appreciate your taking the time. Good luck on this transition and look forward to seeing how the relationship evolves. Mark Sweeney: That’s great. Thanks very much for your time, Robert. Thank you to the folks listening to me in Canada. There you have it, a look at the expanding Citrix-Arrow relationship, courtesy of Citrix’s Mark Sweeney.

Las fiestas, en general, abren un paréntesis en nuestras vidas. Los días festivos lo hacen en medio de nuestras semanas laborales, y las festividades alivian la realidad cotidiana: unos días en los que el orden habitual se pone en pausa. Las fiestas patronales, además, suman el sentimiento de comunidad en el que nos dejamos llevar por la alegría colectiva. Ese sentimiento está condensado en 'Sant Domingo Forever' el álbum que acaba de publicar Maria Jaume y que refuerza su vínculo emocional con su tierra, Mallorca, y con la música como añoranza, nexo popular y alegría.Además, Jimena Amarillo se asoma a nuestro cuestionario cultural en FAQ! y analizamos cómo algunos discursos de ultraderecha están impregnando la cultura hip hop.Playlist:Apparat - LunesMoby - Mott St 1992Ethel Cain - NettlesBeach House - Walk in the ParkMelody’s Echo Chamber - Endless ShoreEstrella Fugaz - Hoy ha muerto Joao Gilbertocaroline, Caroline Polachek - Tell me i never knew thatViva Belgrado - Estrellas MísticasMolina - Hey KidsYung Beef - PERDIENDO LA FE James Blake, Rosalía - Barefoot in the ParkRosalía - Mio Cristo Piange Diamantinothing - never come never morningGazella - SolsticioJust Mustard - WE WERE JUST HERERAYE - Nightingale Lane.Anna von Hausswolff - StardustCharli xcx, Sky Ferreira - Eyes of the WorldParquesvr, Teo Lucadamo, Escandaloso Xpósito, PatataOnStereo - Mi PeñaSleaford Mods, Gwendolin Christie, BIG SPECIAL - The Good LifeDry Cleaning - My Soul / Half PintOlivia Dean - Nice To Each OtherEzra Collective, Greentea Peng - Helicoptersmori, rusowsky - StarTRISTÁN! rusowsky - Verónicapablopbalo - Vida NuevaGuitarricadelafuente - BABIECA!Boyanka Kostova - Acaso esto é un crimeFillas de Cassandra - insolaciónMaria Jaume, ORTIGA - Os CartosBjörk - Army of MeROSALÍA, Björk, Yves Tumor - BerghainFred again.., SKEPTA - Victory LapUnderscores - Tell Me (U Want It)Rojuu, Evar - The SundaysZora Jones - Angel CrisisGorillaz, Mark E.

177 Hospice, Caregiving, and Long-Term Care Planning with Raymond Levine Host Marie Betcher, a former hospice nurse and longtime registered nurse, interviews Raymond Levine, Raymond explains he designs long-term care plans that can help pay for caregiving either at home or in a facility, addressing the common misconception that long-term care insurance is only "nursing home insurance." They discuss caregiver stress and the need to support caregivers with respite and practical help. Raymond outlines how long-term care policies generally work as a pool of money over a set period, often with inflation or cost-of-living features, and notes that benefits may not cover 100% of costs depending on the plan and setting. Raymond advises making incremental home modifications in advance to support aging in place and reduce falls. The episode ends with Raymond offering Zoom, phone, and in-person meetings, directing listeners to his website tools and FAQ features, and Marie encouraging listeners to subscribe and share. 00:00 Welcome + Medical Disclaimer 00:29 Meet Your Host Marie Betcher 00:46 Raymond Levine's Backstory: Army, Vietnam & Career Path 02:43 What Raymond Does: Long‑Term Care Planning Meets Hospice Reality 04:21 Caregiver Burnout: Supporting the Family, Not Just the Patient 05:50 Does Long‑Term Care Insurance Pay for In‑Home Care or Facilities? 07:28 What Hospice Covers Under Medicare (and What It Doesn't) 11:00 How Long‑Term Care Policies Work: Pools of Money, Inflation Riders & Costs 16:08 Affordable Options When Money's Tight: Life Settlements, Reverse Mortgages & Hybrids 20:12 Avoiding Crisis: Planning, Home Modifications & Real‑World Care Logistics 22:09 Hospice Isn't a Daily Caregiver: Building a Care Team https://raymondlavineofficial.com/ If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.

We conclude today the series of messages on the subject of "God's Miraculous Plan of Economy." In this series, we have been reminded that everything belongs to God, and the way we get hold of God's wealth is by giving. The big question is, "How do we give?" Today we are using a term which is not usually associated with giving. Our subject this morning is "Hilarious Giving." Is that right? Absolutely! Let's think together about what that means.

SEO is dead — or so they keep saying. They've been saying it for 20 years. It's not dead. It's evolving, and if you don't adapt, you'll get left behind. Trevor Mauch, CEO of Carrot.com, is back on the show — and this time we're going deep on how AI is changing the way motivated sellers and buyers find you online. Google searches have nearly doubled in the past year. ChatGPT is sending real leads to websites right now. And the good news? A lot of what already works in SEO still works in AI search. Trevor breaks down exactly what you need to change — from entity-based content and FAQ sections to Chamber of Commerce backlinks and building your own AI-powered content engine that sounds like you. Connect with Trevor here.
In this insightful episode of the We Don't PLAY!™️ Podcast, host Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS demystifies the critical evolution of search in the age of artificial intelligence, focusing on a concept she terms "AI SEO 101." The central theme revolves around the distinction and strategic importance of closing both prompt gaps and keyword gaps to secure valuable brand citations. While traditional SEO has focused on optimizing for short, fragmented keywords (e.g., "best travel deals"), the rise of conversational AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity has given birth to the prompt—a longer, full-sentence query (e.g., "What are the best international travel deals for a family of four in summer 2026?").Favour argues that many businesses are unprepared for this shift, leaving a "prompt gap" in their content strategy. While they may have content targeting keywords, they lack the in-depth, conversational, and authoritative answers that AI models seek when responding to user prompts. The ultimate goal for any brand is to become a direct brand citation in an AI-generated answer, a feat achieved only by providing comprehensive, well-supported information. As Favour compellingly states, the answers provided by AI are sourced directly from the content available on the web: "Where are those responses AI is getting coming from in the first place? They're coming from your website."The core of the strategy lies in recognizing that your website is the foundational pillar of your digital presence. To bridge the prompt gap, Favour advocates for a robust pillar-cluster content model. This involves creating a main "pillar" page that exhaustively answers a primary customer question, supported by numerous "cluster" pages that explore related sub-topics in detail. This creates a dense, interconnected web of expertise that signals authority to search engines and AI alike. The episode emphasizes a shift from merely creating blogs to creating comprehensive resource hubs, complete with FAQs, multimedia content, and evidence-backed claims, much like a digital research paper.Favour provides a clear action plan: identify the core questions your audience is asking, build out content that answers them conversationally and in-depth, and structure this content logically on your website. She also touches on the technical side, noting that URLs should remain concise and keyword-focused, while the content on the page should be rich and prompt-focused. Ultimately, the episode is a powerful call to action for businesses to stop dwelling on information and start implementing a forward-thinking content strategy. By treating your website as a definitive library of answers, you can close the gaps in your SEO strategy and ensure your brand not only survives but thrives in the new era of AI-powered search.Key TakeawaysPrompts vs. Keywords: A prompt is a conversational, full-sentence question (10-25 words) posed to an AI, whereas a keyword is a short, fragmented search query (2-5 words) used in traditional search engines.The Goal is Brand Citation: In the new landscape of AI search, the primary objective is to have your brand and website cited directly as the authoritative source in an AI-generated answer.Your Website is the Foundation: All digital roads lead back to your website. It is the most critical asset for building authority and providing the in-depth answers that AI models are looking for.Close the Prompt Gap with Conversational Content: To appear in AI search results, you must create content that directly and comprehensively answers the full questions your audience is asking, not just targets keywords.Adopt a Pillar-Cluster Model: For each major question your audience has, create one main "pillar" page with a complete answer and support it with multiple "cluster" pages that cover related sub-topics. This builds a powerful web of expertise.Content as a Resource Hub: Think of your content less like a series of blog posts and more like a library of research. Support your answers with data, evidence, multimedia, and links to other authoritative sources to build trust and credibility.Action Over Acronyms: While understanding terms like AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is useful, the focus should be on the practical implementation of creating high-quality, question-answering content.Memorable Quotes"A prompt is keywords in confirmation of the context that has been started by conversation.""You can't say a brand without connecting a website.""Where are those responses AI is getting coming from in the first place? They're coming from your website.""Don't be in a place where you're dwelling on information and not taking action on implementation.""15% of new searches every day out of at least 8.5 billion searches a day are new, including yours.""You don't put a prompt in your URL, you put a keyword in your URL.""You're not just creating blogs, you're creating calls to action."Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)What is the main difference between a prompt and a keyword? A prompt is a long, conversational question asked to an AI, while a keyword is a short, fragmented phrase used in a traditional search bar. Your content strategy needs to address both.Why are brand citations important in AI SEO? A brand citation is when an AI search tool names your website as the source of its information. It positions your brand as a trusted authority, driving traffic and credibility.Is blogging still relevant in 2026? Yes, absolutely. However, the format has evolved. Modern blogging should focus on creating in-depth, conversational articles that function as answers to user prompts, effectively turning your blog into a resource hub or "audio blog."How do I start closing the prompt gap on my website? Begin by identifying the most common and important questions your customers ask. Then, create comprehensive content (like a detailed FAQ page or a pillar article) that answers these questions thoroughly and links to supporting cluster pages.What is the pillar-cluster model? It's a content strategy where you create one major "pillar" page that covers a broad topic in-depth. You then create multiple "cluster" pages that address specific sub-topics related to the pillar, with all cluster pages linking back to the main pillar page. This structure organizes your content and signals deep expertise to search engines.Timestamps[00:00] Introduction: AI SEO 101 - Prompt Gaps vs. Keyword Gaps.[01:35] Defining a "Prompt": A conversational query of 10-25 words.[02:48] Defining a "Keyword": Traditional short, medium, and long-tail search terms.[05:52] The Central Role of Your Website in Brand Citations.[06:34] How Search Engines Match Pages to Queries.[07:17] Core Concept: A prompt is "keywords in conversation."[08:03] The Solution: Closing the gap with conversational, FAQ-style content.[09:43] Strategy Deep Dive: The Pillar-Cluster content model (1 Pillar + 9 Clusters).[15:02] Where AI Gets Its Answers: Your website is the source for LLMs.[16:02] Building Authority: Go beyond facts and support claims with experience and evidence.[19:00] Your website is the common thread in all customer interactions.[20:44] Technical SEO Tip: Use keywords in your URLs, not long prompts.[22:36] Market Opportunity: 15% of the 8.5 billion daily searches are entirely new.[23:38] Content with Purpose: Your content should create calls to action, not just exist as a blog.[24:14] Closing Remarks & How to Connect.[25:12] Podcast Outro.Book SEO Services | Quick Links for Social Business>> Book SEO Services with Favour Obasi-ike>> Visit Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> Read SEO Articles>> Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast>> Purchase Flaev Beatz Beats Online>> Favour Obasi-ike Quick LinksSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Épisode 1439 : TikTok est en train de devenir un des canaux les plus stratégiques pour le référencement local en 2026, à la fois moteur de recherche, carte interactive et vitrine vidéo pour les établissements.—On entend parfois le terme TiKtok SEO : Ca veut dire quoi ? TikTok SEO = optimiser tes vidéos et ton profil pour le moteur de recherche interne de TikTok. Il est notamment question d'optimisation des mots-clés, du texte à l'écran, des hashtags, des fonctions de localisation.En 2026, TikTok est considéré comme un véritable moteur de recherche.Dans la pratique, TikTok se substitue bien souvent à Google Search. C'est notamment le cas chez les plus jeunes autour de requêtes du type : “meilleurs restos + ville”, “que faire à + ville”, “bar cocktail + quartier”, etc., où TikTok se substitue à Google Maps ou TripAdvisor chez les jeunes.—Puissance du moteur de recherche TikTokEnviron 40% des jeunes, lorsqu'ils cherchent un lieu pour déjeuner, vont d'abord sur TikTok ou Instagram plutôt que Google Maps ou Search.49% des consommateurs déclarent utiliser TikTok comme moteur de recherche, et près de 10% des Gen Z disent le préférer à Google pour certaines recherches.For You Page vs NearBy La FYP favorise le contenu de ton pays ou de ta région.TikTok tient compte de ta localisation dans ce qu'il pousse. L'algorithme intègre des signaux de proximité. Tu es français tu verras du contenu français. Mais ça ne veut pas dire que ta For You Page devient majoritairement “hyper locale”.L'hyper local de TiKTok tu le trouves dans l'onglet NearbyEn Décembre 2025, TiKtok a lancé un nouvel onglet dédié à une expérience hyper local.Quand je suis sur l'écran d'accueil de Tiktok, j'ai désormais un onglet de localisation en haut à droite. Par exemple : Paris, Lyon, beaujolais…Quand je clic sur cet onglet ma For You Page s'adapte pour ne pousser plus que des contenus localiser très près de moi. De l'hyper local.On y trouve typiquement : restaurants, bars, expériences, événements, shops, activités à faire autour de soi, afin de transformer TikTok en guide temps réel de son quartier.—Penser sa page comme une fiche TikTok (façon Google My Business)Pour un établissement local, ta page TikTok doit être conçue comme une fiche Google Business Profile… mais en vidéo :Nom & pseudo optimisés : intégrer type d'établissement + ville/quartier dans le nom du compte ou la bio (“Pizzeria Napoli – Lyon 7”, “Salon Curly Hair Paris Bastille”).Bio et mots-clés : inclure les spécialités, le quartier, les usages (“brunch”, “afterwork”, “terrasse”, “famille”, etc.) pour aider à la compréhension algorithmique.Catalogue vidéo : au lieu de photos statiques, tu crées une “galerie” de vidéos par cas d'usage : visite guidée, coulisses, best-sellers, FAQ, avis clients filmés, comment venir, horaires en situation.Régularité : comme sur Google, la fraîcheur des contenus rassure et alimente l'algorithme; TikTok voit que ton lieu est “vivant” si tu publies plusieurs fois par semaine.—Penser son contenu pour le référencement naturel et local par la vidéoLe local SEO TikTok repose sur des vidéos qui répondent à des requêtes très concrètes : “où bruncher”, “bar à vin cosy”, “meilleur burger pas cher”, “que faire avec des enfants ce week-end”.Les bonnes pratiques SEO vidéo : intégrer le mot-clé parlé dans les 3 premières secondes, l'afficher en texte à l'écran, le mettre dans la description et les hashtags.Exemple de “fiche vidéo” locale…Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com !

By a quirk of fate (and the meddling of a peculiar being named Gnova), two bands of adventurers came crashing into each other in the middle of the Dragon Path. After greeting each other and gaining an invitation to the mysterious Castle Eschatonica, they crossed the debris of echoed worlds, dodged the hungry eyes of a dragon-owl, and made their way into the castle. Now they face challenges like they've never yet seen… This week on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 02 Perpetua Guide [Temporarily On Hold - v.0599] Some Feedback [Page 56 of 56] TheUnforgivenIII So I guess Nei is never coming back huh.

In this episode Kalena James explores a powerful insight hiding in plain sight: the second-largest search platform in the United States, Amazon. With over 80 million searches per day, Amazon represents a specific psychological moment. This episode challenges the cultural narrative that confidence must be loud, immediate, and fearless. Instead, it reveals that confidence is often quiet, informed, and strategic. Listeners will walk away understanding why preparation is power, why lived experience builds trust, and why readiness is often already present .What You Will Learn:What Amazon search behavior reveals about modern confidence and decision-making.Why certainty is a form of power and how it differs from performance.How reading reviews mirrors strategic leadership behavior.Why lived experience builds more trust than polished marketing.The difference between feeling ready and being informed enough to decide.How preparation reduces risk and strengthens leadership presence.Why women often undervalue their own wisdom and experience.How to recognize when hesitation is strategy rather than fear.FAQ:What does Amazon search behavior say about confidence?Amazon search behavior shows that confidence is built through preparation, comparison, and gathering proof before making decisions rather than acting impulsively.How does decision-making relate to leadership confidence?Leadership confidence comes from informed decisions, not instant certainty, and strong leaders often gather insight before taking action.Why do women delay stepping into leadership roles?Many women wait to feel completely ready, even when they are already informed enough to move forward, due to cultural conditioning around perfection and visibility.Learn more about the latest tool for dynamic professionals in the self-improvement industry, LyfQuest.

BOSSes, Anne Ganguzza and Tom Dheere (The VO Strategist) ring in the new year with a reality check on modern voiceover career strategy. In an industry increasingly influenced by AI and market saturation, the "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach is no longer viable. This episode is a deep dive into the power of focus—mastering one genre at a time, picking the right marketing portals, and closing the "relevance gap" by becoming a high-level human storyteller. Chapter Summaries: The Relevance Gap and AI (10:45) Tom introduces the "relevance gap"—the widening space between aspiring talent and working professionals. He argues that AI is rapidly consuming low-budget, entry-level work. To remain relevant, talent must move beyond simply "reading well" and invest in high-level storytelling skills (acting, improv, etc.) that AI cannot yet replicate. The Danger of the Multi-Demo Rush (03:55) The hosts notice a troubling trend: new talent getting five demos produced before they've mastered a single genre. This lack of focus leads to "sucking at everything." Anne emphasizes that even 20 coaching sessions might not be enough to reach the competitive level required for a professional demo in today's saturated market. Passion vs. Pragmatism: Reconciling Your Goals (15:19) While many enter VO wanting to do anime or video games, the market for corporate, e-learning, and medical narration is significantly larger. Tom suggests a pragmatic voiceover career strategy: use "bread and butter" genres like corporate work (where there are over 33 million potential clients) to fund your passion projects in character and animation work. The Myth of Social Media ROI (24:34) Tom reveals startling statistics on social media ROI for voice actors: Facebook (0.77%) and Twitter (0.69%) pale in comparison to LinkedIn (2.74%). While still low, LinkedIn represents a business-minded audience. The hosts warn that "enpoopification"—the decline of social media quality due to algorithms and AI—makes it harder than ever to find work through standard posting. The "New SEO": Getting Found by Chatbots (27:39) Anne shifts the focus to a forward-thinking strategy: SEO for AI. Companies are increasingly asking chatbots like ChatGPT or Claude for voice actor recommendations. To stay competitive, talent must populate their websites and blogs with high-quality, human-written content that these bots can index and recommend. The 2026 Focus Challenge (30:21) Tom issues a challenge to all VO Bosses: Pick one genre, one casting site, and one social media platform to focus on this year. By concentrating energy rather than scattering it, talent can build true momentum and authority in a specific corner of the market. Top 10 Takeaways for Voice Actors: Close the Relevance Gap: Invest in professional acting and storytelling training to stay ahead of AI-generated voices. Focus on One Genre First: Master the nuances and audience of one genre before producing a demo or marketing yourself in another. Market Pragmatism: Target the corporate and e-learning markets for consistent cash flow while you build your "passion" skills in animation. Avoid "Demo Bundle" Traps: Be wary of packages offering multiple demos for a deal; quality training takes time and individual focus for each genre. Audit Your Marketing Portals: Don't join every pay-to-play site at once. Pick one that aligns with your primary genre and master its algorithm. Prioritize LinkedIn: For B2B genres like corporate narration, LinkedIn offers a significantly higher ROI than other social platforms. Optimize for AI Search: Ensure your website's FAQ and Home pages are rich with pertinent information so chatbots can find and recommend you. Use Low-Budget Sites as Proving Grounds: Use sites like Fiverr or Casting Call Club for practice and project management experience, not as a final career destination. Human Content Wins: Write blogs and website copy with a "human-first" approach to reclaim search authority from AI-generated spam. The Foundation is Acting: Foundational acting skills are transferable across all genres. Master the craft first, and the genre proficiency will follow.
One day your child is themselves. They're laughing, playing, arguing with their siblings, asking for snacks, being who they have always been. And then something shifts. It can feel like it happens overnight. Suddenly there is fear where there wasn't fear before. Anxiety that doesn't make sense. Obsessive thoughts. Out of nowhere rituals and OCD like behaviors. Maybe tics. Rage that feels completely out of character. Sleep goes to heck. Separation becomes unbearable. And you're left standing there wondering what just happened to my child.If you are listening to this and your chest feels tight because this is your story, I need you to hear me. You are not imagining this. Your child did not just decide to become someone else. And you are not dramatic for knowing something deeper is going on. I don't care how many specialists you have gone to, how many times you have been told it's just anxiety, just OCD, just behavior, or just a phase. When a child shifts like this, it is our responsibility as mothers to look for answers and I am so proud of you for being here. Maybe you have heard of PANS and PANDAS. Maybe you have been deep in research for months. Or maybe this is the first time you are hearing those words. PANS stands for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome, and PANDAS stands for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections. They are immune responses associated with strep bacteria, but not only the kind found in strep throat.Healing from PANS and PANDAS is not about flipping a switch. It is about restoring balance at the foundation so the body is no longer stuck in chronic immune activation.If you are navigating this right now, I see you. You are rightfully scared. The grief is unbelievably deep. Add in the exhaustion and it can feel like you will never get your child back. But your child is not broken. Their body is responding to something very real. It is communicating with you through symptoms as a way of asking for help. And when you listen to the body and support it at the root, healing becomes possible. They can and they will heal.Despite what anyone has ever told you, you are not crazy for knowing there is more to this story. And you are not powerless. I cannot wait for you to see what happens when you stop chasing flares and start restoring balance at the foundation. The steadiness you are longing for is not out of reach. It starts right here. I will have the PANS/PANDAS healing bundle linked for you in the show notes. Sending you so much love as you navigate this.Thanks for listening!

Episode 147: Workers' Comp Doctor Rules in California, Your Rights Inside the MPN System If you were injured at work in California, your employer may send you to a specific doctor, but does that mean you have no choice? In this episode of Work Comp Talk, host Carmen Ramirez and attorney Bilal Kassam explain one of the most misunderstood parts of California workers' compensation: your right to choose and change your treating doctor. Many injured workers don't realize that the doctor managing their care can directly affect disability benefits, work restrictions, medical reports, and even settlement value. What Most Workers Don't Realize You don't always have to stay with the first doctor your employer sends you to. Your medical choices can change as your case progresses. The treating doctor controls more than treatment. They influence benefits, work status, and settlement value. The MPN limits options, but you still have rights inside the system. Denied treatment does not always mean denied benefits. Missing medical appointments weakens your case documentation. Early decisions in a workers' comp case have long-term consequences. Chapters: 00:00 Understanding Your Rights in Workers' Comp 03:07 Navigating the Medical Provider Network 05:58 The Role of Your Treating Physician 09:04 The Importance of Medical Records 11:44 Changing Your Doctor: When and How 14:57 The Consequences of Missing Appointments 18:00 Advocating for Your Medical Needs 21:14 Final Thoughts on Workers' Comp Rights When workers don't understand this early, decisions made in the first 30–60 days can affect their financial stability for years. Education gives injured workers control and control is protection. This episode is sponsored by Pacific Workers, The Lawyers for Injured Workers, the trusted workers' compensation law firm in Northern California. With over 10,000 cases won and more than $350 million recovered for injured workers, we are here to help if you've suffered a workplace injury.

We continue today looking at "God's Miraculous Plan of Economy." Someone has described one of the great sins of our day to be "The Sin of Sermon Listening." That means some people may hear a sermon, no matter how inspired it may be as a message from God, but then these go their merry way in everyday living without applying God's message to their daily lives. If God has a great, miraculous plan to guide us in an unsteady economy, then the question arises, "Why Give?" That's what we are thinking about today.

A lot of service business owners say "that's not my brand" like it's a standard. Sometimes it is. But most of the time it's just a respectable way of saying: I don't want to be seen learning this. This episode is about the cycle smart businesses repeat: rejecting what feels uncomfortable, calling it a brand rule, and then wondering why growth feels slower than it should. In 2026, the cost of waiting is higher because everything normalizes faster. So if you only move once it feels comfortable, you end up doing it when it's harder. I'm Veronica Di Polo, a marketing + messaging consultant based in Moraira, Spain. I help service businesses get chosen faster by fixing the words that make buyers hesitate.
