There is one question underneath almost every message we receive.Is this safe?Is it safe for my child? Is it safe during pregnancy? Is it safe while breastfeeding? Is it safe if I am sick? Is it safe after chemo? Is it safe to keep taking the supplements when my child has an ear infection?My friends, we are asking the wrong question.In this episode, we are going to dive deep into the safety of rebalancing, and just as importantly, the flip side of that conversation, which is what actually happens when we leave bad bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, parasites, heavy metals, and toxins in the body.Most people who find their way here have tried just about everything. You have likely tried every elimination diet, tried so many different supplements, you've spent hours and hours at appointments with different practitioners hoping someone would finally connect the dots, you've been told to wait it out, you've been told it's normal, you've been told that your child will outgrow it or that your symptom will just go away with time, and you've probably been given medications that suppress your or your child's symptoms but don't actually address the root issue. So of course you're skeptical, because when you've tried so many things and nothing has truly worked, it's easy to start losing hope.I know because I was you. I was in your exact place when I was trying so desperately to heal my son. I remember thinking, if it's really as simple as his gut needing to be rebalanced, why didn't one of the seventeen doctors I took him to tell me about this sooner? And underneath that question was a lot of fear.Rebalancing is not about doing something extreme. It is about giving the body the opportunity to finally reset, regulate, and heal instead of continuing to survive around a problem that will not resolve on its own.Healing is not the risk.Ignoring what the body has been asking for is.Thanks for listening!

ERC suit allowed to move forward without having a specific government order identified in filing but APA challenges thrown out, the IRS issues an FAQ on the OBBBA overtime deduction and more.
The older we get, and hopefully, the more maturity we have, we look at our lives and sometimes ask, "What contribution is my life making in this world which will be lasting after I am gone?" Surely there are things more important than having a large bank account, material things, or words of praise that might be said at my funeral. Today we will be taking the long look at some important ways in which we can make our life count. We'll be looking at several Bible references, and our key Bible verse is Paul's statement in Philippians 4:13. For more information on the Campground, insider tips and FAQ's, listen to our General Ocean Lakes Podcast, Campground Conversations.
Though the office of the Shining Star stands on the second of Spillaway Peaks' three tiers, on a clear night, its rooftop beacon can be seen from miles away. This, Thelonious, the newspaper's editor-in-chief says, is a recruitment strategy. Those who see the light and travel through the wilderness towards it tend to be inquisitive and adventurous enough to make good freelance reporters. And though they followed the Shining Star's reputation before its shining light, couldn't the same be said of the crew of the Little Snail? This week on Perpetua: A Picture of the Hills 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Side Quests[SDQS] Spillaway Peaks [SPSQ] Escort the Waylon the Photographer - 300 Asta Description: It's time for Old Waylon to take the yearly photo of the town. Guard him on his journey up the mountains to the best angle. Definitely take this quest before leaving town. You're gonna be going up that way to do other side quests anyway, and while Waylon isn't worth a damn in a fight, he also doesn't actually cause you too much trouble as long as you keep up with him! Terrapin Interest Story - 25 to 425 Asta Description: The Shining Star is paying for feature stories about the people of Spillaway Peaks. Brainstorm an idea, interview your subjects, write your article, and supplement it with art! This one is a pain in the butt and it seems really random how much you make from it. Basically, you pick from easy to difficult in each phase of the quest (topic, interview, etc.) and depending on how you do, you get more money. Each of the topics also requires you to go to different places, so like if you do a story on the school play, you have to go to the Clutch area to interview parents and children, where as if you do a story on the port's guards, you need to go down to the water to talk to them. I guess if you really need the Asta, go for it. Investigate the Livestock Deaths - 400 Asta Description: Beula's Giant Oxen have been getting sick, and some have even been dying! This is a problem, since it's almost time to dredge up new Rice Paddies. Though this looks like a side quest, it's basically mandatory. Unless you were inducted into the Luminaries by Commodore Onyx before leaving Calstega Bay, when you meet with Thelonious, he'll basically put you on a path to do this quest. As such, go read the main Calstega Bay quest section of the FAQ to learn more about this one. Kill 17 Frostoads - 100 Asta Description: N/A I honestly don't understand why this one is even on this side quest board. Isn't it supposed to be a newspaper? Why would they pay you to kill random toads? There's not even a description on it! Paper Delivery - 20 Asta Description: Deliver the Shining Star to all 15 of its readers. Okay, so, you have to go from the Shining Star to 15 different NPCs spread all across the town. And with a 20 Asta reward, it sounds like a really boring fetch quest that just wastes your time right? Well. I guess I won't say it isn't a time waster. But the important thing is that you can do this once per every Rest action. And because you can stay for free in Jonathan's family's house… that's right. It seems like you can just grind money here indefinitely. I say "seems" because I haven't tested it yet, and there is a chance that just resting repeatedly and not advancing the main plot could have consequences, like it did in Shine-Divine War Armidirge. So be careful, but let me know what happens if you do try to get infinite money here!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin episode I've been traveling solo since 1972. Now you can experience for yourself the Best Selling Book Series: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, A Woman's Guide to Travel and Destinations in Her Prime, a book series found on Amazon. Please rate this podcast and the book! The FAQ is "What's my plan if I get sick, injured, or suddenly can't continue my trip alone?" Today's Mistake- Staying in a destination too long because leaving feels like failure Travel Advice: Organize your apps FAQ: "What's my plan if I get sick, injured, or suddenly can't continue my trip alone?" You talk confidence and preparation, but many women want a realistic breakdown of escalation: minor illness vs. hospital vs. trip-ending events, and who steps in when independence temporarily fails. Answer: As a solo senior traveler, confidence doesn't mean pretending nothing will go wrong. It means knowing exactly what you'll do if it does. Before every trip, I decide three things: where I would go for medical care, how I would get there, and who would help me make decisions if I wasn't at my best. I carry travel medical insurance, keep my medications and health information accessible, and I don't hesitate to slow the trip or stop it if my body tells me to. Independence includes knowing when to accept help—and planning for it before you need it. Today's destination: Milwaukee, WI Milwaukee is 92 miles from Chicago and is a place I visited while I lived in the Midwest. I've been planning this episode for years and love my Wisconsin friends. Some fond memories include Summerfest in July for seeing great music, like Elvin Bishop, and watching Brewers baseball, with the mascot Bernie Brewer sliding when they hit a home run or win a game. The mascot used to slide into a 20-foot-high beer mug, but now they slide into the dugout. https://www.jsonline.com/videos/sports/mlb/brewers/2019/04/04/taking-ride-down-bernie-brewers-slide-miller-park/3363629002/ Another memory is visiting Marquette University and the surrounding student areas. Take a stroll to the East Side and see the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Go to a sports event if you can. I'm a fan of college basketball, so take in a game for me. You should check out the college scene, with at least a dozen higher education institutions here. There are about 70,000 college students here, the largest in Wisconsin, and the 6th largest in the US and Canada, with a high number of college students per capita. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleges_and_universities_of_Milwaukee The Third Ward of Milwaukee is buzzing these days. It's a historic area with boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and a public market. For a rainy day, you may check out one of the museums, like the Art Museum, known for its "Wings" of the Quadracci Pavilion, or the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibits. There's also a Harley-Davidson Museum and a Pabst Mansion. If you want to see more beer artifacts, visit the Lakefront Brewery and consider a tour. On the Lakefront, you will find Discovery World, another museum with science, tech, and maritime exhibits. I enjoy walking the Lake Michigan Shoreline. You can find a bench and relax while people-watching. The riverwalk features public art and a bronze statue of The Fonz. If you travel in the winter, you will be chilled. Bone-chilling winds can be felt on Lake Michigan, so dress for that. In summer, it's a delight, but be aware of the changing weather conditions at all times. Stick to the main tourist attractions and don't wander far away. Be cautious if alone at night. Guided tours may be a good idea if you want company as a solo traveler. Don't Miss Food Scene: Try local specialties like cheese curds, bratwurst, and craft beers. Milwaukee Public Market: A foodie haven with a variety of vendors. Jazz in the Park: If visiting during the summer, Cathedral Square Park offers free outdoor concerts. Tips for Solo Travelers Stay in centrally located accommodations, such as the Downtown or the Historic Third Ward, for easy access to attractions. Join a guided tour for a fun way to explore with others (walking, brewery, or riverboat tours). Today's Mistake- Staying in a destination too long Dr. Travelbest discusses choosing destinations wisely and the emotional trap of staying put when it's clearly not working—due to loneliness, stress, health concerns, or safety concerns. The mistake is prioritizing the plan over personal well-being. I stayed too long in the heat of Palm Springs in the summer. That was too hot, so I suggest finding a cooler spot in the middle of summer.

Most therapists have a cancellation policy they never enforce. Dr Brooklyn Storme, an evidence-based private practice business coach for counsellors, psychologists and social workers, breaks down the real cost of weak boundaries and why guilt stops you from protecting your income. Learn how cancellation policies actually strengthen therapeutic relationships, the data on revenue loss, and what changes when you shift from therapist-only to therapist-AND-business-owner identity. Real case studies from Australian private practices. Resources mentioned: Free Private Practice Assessment: https://brooklyn.myflodesk.com/pmquiz Free Resources: https://brooklynstorme.com/resources Practice Momentum™ Info: https://brooklynstorme.com/practice-momentum%E2%84%A2 Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brooklynstormephd FAQ 1: "What if my client genuinely had an emergency? Isn't it heartless to charge them?" This is where you're confusing compassion with boundary collapse. You can be compassionate AND use the policy. It's not your job to assess the validity of their reason. That's the point of having a policy in writing that they signed. The policy applies regardless of the reason. You can say: 'I understand that was difficult. The cancellation fee still applies as per our agreement.' You're acknowledging their experience AND holding the boundary. Both/and. Not either/or. If you start making exceptions, you're the one deciding whose emergency is 'real enough,' and that IS judgement. FAQ 2: "Won't clients just leave and find a therapist who doesn't enforce cancellation fees?" Some might. The data shows 1-2% leave when you start enforcing. But here's what you're not considering: do you want clients who only stay because you don't have boundaries? Those clients don't respect the therapeutic container. They're perhaps less likely to be invested in the work or the outcomes and they're costing you money. Boundaries help you work with clients who value your time, the structure, and who are committed to the work. You upgrade your client base. Plus, the 95% who stay are now showing up more reliably, which means your income becomes predictable instead of chaotic. FAQ 3: "I work with low-income clients who genuinely can't afford a cancellation fee. What then?" If you're choosing to work with low-income clients, that's a business decision, not a therapeutic one. You need to build that into your business model. Don't make up different rules for each person based on your assessment of their finances that's inconsistent and creates resentment. FAQ 4: "What's a reasonable cancellation policy timeframe? 24 hours? 48 hours? A week?" Industry standard in Australia is 24-48 hours. I recommend 48 hours because it gives clients enough notice to manage their schedules and gives you enough notice to potentially fill the gap. But here's what matters more than the timeframe is consistency. If you say 48 hours and then accept 12-hour cancellations without charging, your policy is meaningless. Pick a timeframe that feels manageable for you to enforce, put it in writing, and hold it every single time. I've seen therapists with 24-hour policies who enforce consistently get better results than therapists with week-long policies they never apply. Need more help?

Episode 436 | AI and Automation: What Should School Owners Actually Use? Podcast Description AI is everywhere right now—and for a lot of martial arts school owners, it's either exciting—or overwhelming. In Episode 436, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo cut through the hype and get practical about what AI and automation are actually good for inside a school. They talk about why tech won't fix broken fundamentals, how to audit your numbers before you start building automations, and the real-world use cases that can save you time without turning your school into a “robot school.” Along the way, they share stories from the trenches—including Allie using AI to create a ninja “we miss you” video, using ChatGPT to rewrite a heated parent message into something kind and effective, and why too many automations can create “white noise” that makes families tune you out. Key Takeaways AI and automation are different tools. Automation is “if/then” triggers (texts, emails, reminders). AI is adaptive and conversational (helping with replies, content, and decision support). AI won't fix broken fundamentals. It can't repair a weak offer, unclear schedules, poor culture, or bad sales conversations—but it can improve speed, consistency, and follow-through. Audit before you automate. Track lead response time, booking rate, show-up rate, close rate, and first-90-day retention before you start adding more tech. Speed still wins. When possible, the best move is still personal contact fast—call or text a lead within minutes. Too many automations can backfire. If families get flooded with emails/texts, it becomes “white noise” and they opt out. Use AI to communicate with more care. Allie shares how he used ChatGPT to rewrite a message to a parent (when emotions were high) and it completely changed the outcome. Must-haves first. Automated lead follow-up, scheduling/confirmations, and no-show recovery are the highest ROI automations. Nice-to-haves next. Content help, review requests, and referral prompts can work great once your basics are clean. Don't automate the important stuff. Billing disputes, cancellations, complaints, and emotionally charged conversations need a human. Guardrails matter. Build a voice guide, set rules (tone, language, escalation), and always offer a “talk to a human” option. Action Steps for School Owners Do a quick audit this week. Lead response time (minutes, not hours) Booking rate Show-up rate Close rate First 90-day retention Fix your #1 leak before adding new tools. If your show-up rate is low, focus on confirmations and reminders. If your close rate is low, focus on sales conversations. Let the numbers tell you what to fix. Set up (or clean up) your must-have automations. Instant lead follow-up (text/email) Scheduling + confirmations No-show follow-up + reschedule prompts Audit your existing automations for “white noise.” Check if families are receiving overlapping offers or too many messages. Clean up old tags, old campaigns, and outdated promos. Use AI as your “calm-down coach” for tough messages. Before you hit send on a heated reply, paste it into ChatGPT and ask: “Rewrite this in a loving, compassionate, clear way.” Build an FAQ/onboarding library to reduce repetitive questions. Put your most common questions in one place (website/app/videos): uniforms, promotions, how early to arrive, what to expect, etc. Create a simple weekly stats habit. Start small: trials booked, trials showed, enrollments, and which program they chose. Then build from there. Set guardrails so you don't become a “robot school.” Create a voice guide (phrases you use/never use) Define when a human takes over (complaints, cancellations, billing, pricing) Always offer a human option Additional Resources Mentioned Spark Membership Software (automations, follow-up, reporting) LeadHunter Media (lead follow-up + AI texting support) Notion (used to track automations and systems) Upstream by Dan Heath (the “stop rescuing people downstream” story) Atomic Habits by James Clear Everybody Matters (mentioned as a book Duane is filtering through AI) Dan Sullivan (concept: “I always have a person between me and the technology”) If you enjoyed the episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another school owner. And remember: AI should give you more freedom—not more work.

Podcast Episode 260: Local SEO 2026—Authenticity, AI, and the Google Playbook Are you ready to start 2026 with a boom? As the digital landscape shifts, small businesses are facing a new reality where traditional search is evolving into Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). While "big brands" can often get away with less personal marketing, local businesses have a massive advantage by building genuine community connections and radical authenticity. In this episode, our Marketing Guides break down the essential playbook you need to dominate local search over the next two years, from mastering the latest Google Business Profile updates to leveraging AI without losing your human touch. What You'll Get Out of This Episode You will walk away with a clear strategic roadmap for 2026 that prioritizes human behavior and high-conversion tactics over trendy distractions. You'll learn why your website remains the most important platform you actually own and how to ensure it feeds the Large Language Models (LLMs) that power modern search results. We also dive into the "speed-to-lead" revolution, showing you why responding within minutes—not days—is the new standard for winning hot leads. What You'll Learn The Core of Local Marketing in 2026 • Why authenticity is a superpower: How small businesses can outshine international brands by getting involved in the community and building engaged email newsletters. • The "Speed-to-Lead" System: Why you must use automations, SMS, and AI chatbots to ensure you never miss a lead, as customers no longer have the patience to wait. • The truth about demographics: Why you must ignore stereotypes—especially regarding seniors, who are among the fastest-growing adopters of online search. Platforms and Content Strategy • Short-form video mastery: Why 6-second Instagram Reels are currently the top-performing content and how to use geotags to send the right signals to algorithms. • The evolution of blogging: Moving from traditional SEO to feeding AI the authoritative content it craves across platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn, and niche forums. • Balancing AI with a human touch: How to use AI for drafts and structure while avoiding "five-handed person" image fails and robotic, unedited text. Google Business Profile & Technical Essentials • GBP Verification Myths: The reality of how Google gives preference to brick-and-mortar locations with permanent signage over home-based businesses. • The disappearing Q&A: Why rumors of Google removing the Q&A feature mean you must move those answers to your own website's FAQ section immediately. • Technical SEO as a foundation: Why site speed, schema markup, and accurate directory citations across Bing, Apple Maps, and ChatGPT are more critical than ever.

Welcome to Follow Your Gut. Daily Anchors.I'm Juniper, and I'll be guiding you in this daily embodiment practice for grounding, expansion, and self-leadership.Today's anchoring practice is about gratitude, affirmation, and intention. Not as concepts, but as daily practices that change how your body experiences life.So often, especially when we are healing or supporting our child or someone we love through healing, our attention becomes very zoomed in. We focus on what's wrong, what needs to change, what feels hard, what still isn't better yet.This makes sense. Our brains are wired to look for problems to solve.But when we live only in that zoomed-in space, we unintentionally give more power to what feels broken than to what is actually working. And over time, that keeps the nervous system in a state of vigilance instead of safety.Gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to gently zoom out.Not to bypass the pain.Not to pretend things are perfect.But to remind your body that life is happening right now, and there is more here than just what feels hard.Gratitude creates safety.And safety is what allows affirmation to actually land in the body.As you come out of this practice, take a moment to gently set your anchors for the day.Today, I commit to nourishing my body with microbiome friendly food and abundant water.Today, I choose to support my mind, brain, nervous system, and liver with my rebalancing or maintenance supplements.Today, I trust that I am safe, and that everything is always working for me.And today, I will choose one small action that supports the life I am affirming.Let this practice orient your day and remind you that alignment is built through small, consistent choices.May your heart feel supported, your body feel safe, and your intuition lead your day.Trust your body. Follow your gut. Thanks for listening!

Dennis Meador is the CEO of The Legal Podcast Network. DM has been an entrepreneur since he was a teenager, building businesses in everything from shoveling snow to SEO before finding his fit helping attorneys share their voices. A lifelong communicator from his years as a pastor to his more than 20 years in legal marketing, DM believes the best ideas don't come from selling, they come from conversations. WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT HOW FAQ PODCASTS HELP LAWYERS DIFFERENTIATE Eighty-two percent of people use the internet to find their attorney. They type in a search, get hundreds of results, and every lawyer looks the same. With no way to distinguish expertise, potential clients default to asking how much it costs. The legal profession has become commoditized, turning skilled attorneys into interchangeable service providers competing on price alone. The solution isn't more traditional marketing. It's conversations. Founder-led, authentic content where lawyers answer the specific questions their ideal clients are asking. FAQ-style podcasts give attorneys the opportunity to demonstrate their expertise, show they understand client problems, and position themselves as the obvious choice before a prospect ever picks up the phone. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge, Elise talks with Dennis Meador of The Legal Podcast Network about why expertise needs to be visible to be valuable, how podcasting creates authority through conversations instead of sales tactics, what lawyers get wrong about giving away knowledge for free, and the multiple ways podcasts generate business beyond download numbers and ad revenue. 2:06 - Why 82% of clients search online and what that means for lawyer visibility 3:34 - How commoditization has driven down hourly rates over the past decade 6:51 - Founder-led, authentic marketing is what resonates with today's clients 8:14 - Why FAQ-format podcasts are the best way for lawyers to differentiate 10:33 - The two biggest objections lawyers have about sharing expertise publicly 13:36 - Why posting too much content won't chase away the clients you actually want 16:24 - Authority podcasts are designed to inform potential clients, not brag 18:21 - How to create a year's worth of evergreen podcast content 21:25 - Using patterns in client stories instead of specific confidential details 23:23 - The nuts and bolts of podcast ROI for lawyers 26:40 - Monetization strategies beyond ad revenue and sponsorships 33:23 - Turning 30 minutes of recording into a month of marketing content 35:29 - The curse of knowledge: explaining things like you're talking to an eight-year-old 37:03 - Cumulative learning and why repeating yourself actually delivers value MENTIONED IN CONVERSATIONS AS AUTHORITY: HOW FAQ PODCASTS HELP LAWYERS DIFFERENTIATE AND ATTRACT CLIENTS The Legal Podcast Network | LinkedIn Dennis Meador on LinkedIn Get connected with the coaching team: hello@thelawyersedge.com The Lawyer's Edge SPONSOR FOR THIS EPISODE Today's episode is brought to you by the Ignite Women's Business Development Accelerator, a 9-month business development program created BY women lawyers for women lawyers.

Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
In the past 10 years, Amazon Web Services has gone from a niche player in the federal government to being responsible for billions in sales. One key aspect of this is how Amazon integrates leadership with innovation to address complex federal requirements. Today, we sit down with Andrew Christian to get an overview of concepts like customer obsession, working backwards, and the sixteen leadership principles that AWS implements to accomplish that drastic growth. ONE Customer-focus In the commercial marketplace, the concept of being "customer-focused" is certainly not breaking news. However, as Christian explains, AWS tries to understand (almost obsessively) what the requirements are for federal systems. No, technically, they are not "customers," but they are the end users for any technology project. This focus has given AWS remarkable success in the commercial world, and when they apply it to federal technology, they can succeed where others have failed. TWO Working Backwards Christian explains that "working backwards" is a concept where a team is forced to write a mock press release and FAQ for a future project. This is before they build anything. This helps to clarify the customers' needs by identifying gaps early. THREE encouraging innovations Many describe innovation as failing fast, then recovering. That may hold up in a commercial application where lives are not at stake. During the interview, Andrew Christian differentiates between the importance of making quick, reversible decisions (two-way doors) versus long-term, impactful ones (one-way doors). He encourages federal agencies to adopt these principles to enhance their innovation and adapt to a world co constantly changing technology.

Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS introduces this episode reframes “monetization” as a value exchange, built on the core truth that “there's no conversion that started without a conversation.” It presents a strategic model where financial returns are the natural result of building trust through dialogue. Applying this specifically to regional businesses, the discussion outlines strategic podcasting techniques to improve search engine visibility and drive revenue.The key tactic is the deliberate use of geographic keywords within episode titles, scripts, and author fields to dominate local search results. By treating a podcast as permanent intellectual property rather than just a marketing tool, businesses create a lasting reference point that validates their brand through expert conversations, building consumer trust and market authority.This value-exchange model is powered by converting listener attention into growth through methods like pre-roll ads, affiliate partnerships, and private subscriptions. Furthermore, the speaker advises using analytics to identify high-performing locations, allowing businesses to refine their content and promotional strategies for specific audiences. Ultimately, consistent, helpful audio content serves as the foundational engine for long-term customer loyalty, where monetization is the direct outcome of the deep relationships built through strategic, SEO-focused conversations.Key Takeaways: Actionable Insights• Local First, Regional Second: Even international brands are local to someone. The foundational strategy is to dominate your immediate search radius (5-25 miles) by embedding location-specific keywords—such as city, state, province, or zip code—directly into your podcast titles, spoken content, and show notes. This ensures you are discoverable by the customers actively searching for services in your specific operational areas.• Conversation Before Conversion: The speaker's primary argument is that trust is the essential precursor to any transaction. A podcast's main function should be to initiate meaningful conversations and consistently answer customer questions. This process naturally builds the credibility and trust required to guide a listener toward becoming a loyal customer, making the "sale" a frictionless conclusion to a relationship, not a high-pressure pitch.• Podcast as an Intellectual Property Asset: Your podcast should be treated as a core business asset, on par with your domain name or email list. It functions as a permanent, searchable "place of reference" that validates your expertise and builds long-term equity. As the speaker notes, a successful podcast creates listenership, authorship, and readership—"it's a lot of ship sailing"—that expands into partnerships and affiliate relationships.• Give Them What They Want, Then What They Need: This two-step engagement strategy is crucial for audience growth and retention. The speaker reveals their strategic thinking: "Give them what they need first, right? Let me actually put it this way. Give them what they want and then give them what they need." First, attract new listeners with content that answers what they want (their direct search queries). Then, build loyalty and authority by providing the deeper, more valuable content they truly need.Concluding TransitionWith these foundational principles established, the episode transitions into the specific, tactical SEO strategies that bring this value-driven approach to life.Need to Book An SEO Discovery Call for Advertising or Marketing Services?>> Book a Complimentary SEO Discovery Call 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 OnlineTimestamped Segments• [00:00:00] Introduction: Why Regional Businesses Need Podcast SEO ◦ Favour outlines the opportunity for regional businesses to build trust, loyalty, and brand awareness through location-focused content.• [00:05:15] The Core Strategy: Hyper-Local Targeting ◦ Details on how to use specific city, state, and province names in episode titles and spoken scripts to attract local search traffic.• [00:09:30] Redefining Monetization: Trust and Conversation ◦ Favour argues that monetization is an outcome of trust, which is built through valuable conversations, not direct sales pitches.• [00:14:00] Tactical Content Planning ◦ Keyword Strategy: How to build content around core business keywords (e.g., "cooking") and then niche down into specifics ("vegan cooking," "pressure cooking"). ◦ FAQ Episodes: The strategy of creating dedicated FAQ episodes for each business location to address unique regional customer questions. ◦ The "Album Drop" Strategy: An explanation of releasing all location-specific FAQ episodes simultaneously to maximize reach and impact.• [00:21:45] Advanced SEO & Platform Tactics ◦ Author Name Optimization: How to structure the podcast's "author" field to include business locations (e.g., "My Restaurant | Seattle | Honolulu | Las Vegas"). ◦ The Power of Voice: Imagine listening to your brand's CEO sending a message directly to you, "documenting their journey with you on live mode" - this tactic creates a permanent "reference point" that builds unparalleled trust.• [00:28:10] The Podcast as a Business Asset ◦ Positioning the podcast as a core piece of intellectual property that builds listenership, authorship, partnerships, and affiliate relationships.• [00:32:00] Monetization Mechanics Explained ◦ A breakdown of ad formats like pre-rolls, mid-rolls, and post-rolls, comparing them to YouTube's ad model. ◦ Discussion on building private, subscription-based podcasts for premium content.• [00:41:00] Live Q&A: Getting Started with Podcasting (with Kelcey) ◦ A new podcaster asks for advice on where to start with her faith-based podcast and monetization.• [00:55:30] Core Digital Assets: Domain & Email List ◦ The speaker emphasizes that your domain and email list are critical assets, using the analogy: "Just like you have an address and a mail box is the same way you have a website and a mailbox."• [01:05:00] Closing Remarks and Call to Action ◦ Favour summarizes the key points and directs listeners to connect for a free audit.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, I'm talking about capacity and why so many ADHD/AuDHD humans feel blocked from doing the things they genuinely care about. It covers the Fresh Start Effect, and how dopamine spikes when we look forward to things more than when we're actually doing them, which is why January motivation fades so quickly. I get into the difference between wanting to create, connect, or rest, and having the space, energy, or setup to actually do it. This year, I'm still figuring out daily goal-setting, realistic planning, and building to-do lists, because what no one really ever tells us is that planning and researching drain our battery — and we have to work with that reality. Show Notes: My podcast webpage is another place to listen, along with an easy-to-read blog that expands on ADHD/AuDHD topics from the show — with pins you can save to Pinterest.

Here we are now midway through January, and some are looking back at how they've already failed to live up to new year's resolutions. That can be quite discouraging. Sometimes we are disappointed with other people, but when we are disappointed with ourselves, that can be very painful indeed. Our subject today is "Dealing with Disappointments." We'll be looking this morning at several Bible references, and those who can hear God speaking will find just the help we need. Let's hear God's message today.

Krakow . Welcome back to the Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. A few weeks ago, I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences. Today, we will discuss Krakow, Poland, and when to admit you are not ready for a trip. We will discuss passports and then my travel mistakes. Get ready now, as we are starting. The FAQ is: Marcia, who recently returned from a solo trip to Antarctica, asked: "At what point does a destination become a bad match for my solo senior travel — and how do I admit that early?" Answer: I emphasize empowerment. I permit you to change course, leave early, or say "this isn't for me" without framing it as failure. A destination isn't "wrong" because it challenges you — but it is wrong if it consistently drains your energy, confidence, or sense of safety. If you find yourself constantly anxious, overly fatigued, or forcing yourself to "push through," just listen to your mind or body. Changing plans, leaving early, or choosing a different destination next time is not failure — it's wisdom. The goal of solo travel isn't endurance; it's fulfillment. And knowing when to pivot is one of the strongest travel skills you can develop. In Amsterdam, I had to change my destination frequently, which was challenging, but I managed to do so. One day, when I had some flexibility in my schedule, I scheduled a massage. I searched for "massage near me" and was delighted with the results. Sometimes that's all it takes for a new perspective. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today is to check your passport. That's right, take it out and open it up. Do you have at least six months left on your passport? If not, you need to renew it. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into passport documents and solo travel for women. You can find the series at the link in the description. See Book A for addressing this concern.. Find it on the website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a multiple-part series. Today's special destination is Krakow, Poland First, I'll talk about the things to see as a tourist, and then I'll share some 'off the regular' tourist ideas for you. It's interesting to learn that Poland is roughly the size of Texas. Historical tensions persist among Polish communities in neighboring Kazakhstan, Russia, and Germany. I've also heard about soldiers being sent from Siberia to Ukraine. The country underwent a significant change in 1989 when the Solidarity movement overthrew the socialist government. I reflected on the historical gravity of Auschwitz, where many lives were lost. Kraków, Poland, is one of Europe's most enchanting cities, renowned for its history, charm, and culture. Kraków offers a welcoming mix of walkable streets, accessible attractions, and heartfelt hospitality. Let's Explore the Old Town and Wawel Hill https://krakow.travel/en/55-krakow-main-market-square Start your morning in Rynek Główny, the Main Market Square — one of the largest medieval squares in Europe. It's mostly flat with smooth pathways, though some cobblestones can be tricky; use a slower pace or roll along the outer edges, which are more level, for those with mobility issues. In the center stands the Cloth Hall, filled with stalls selling amber jewelry, handmade crafts, and souvenirs. Elevators are available to reach the upper gallery, which houses the 19th-century Polish Art Museum. Nearby, the St. Mary's Basilica is famous for its hourly trumpet call from the tower. Inside, ramps and wide aisles make it accessible for most visitors. https://mariacki.com/en/ https://visitkrakow.com/kazimierz/ https://visitkrakow.com/guide-to-oskar-schindlers-enamel-factory-museum/ https://www.catholicapostolatecenter.org/blog/st-faustina-and-the-catholic-heritage-of-poland?

In episode #141 of the Work Comp Talk podcast, host Carmen Ramirez welcomes special guest Almarie Rodriguez, Director of Intake at Pacific Workers. With years of hands-on experience, Almarie explains why the first 72 hours after a work injury in California can determine your medical care, your benefits, your settlement, and your future, and what you must do immediately to protect yourself. This episode reveals the truth: your case does not begin when you hire an attorney. It begins the moment you get injured, because the system is not designed to protect you; it is designed to document you. Takeaways: Most injured workers lose their case before realizing it. The first 72 hours after an injury are crucial. Reporting your injury immediately can protect your rights. Your first doctor's visit sets the tone for your case. Be honest about your pain to avoid complications later. Pre-existing conditions can complicate claims but don't negate them. Document everything to strengthen your case. Insurance companies may not have your best interests at heart. Seek help from professionals to navigate the system. Don't let fear of intimidation stop you from reporting injuries.

One of the biggest jobs we all have during this new year is that of trying to decide what is important and what is not so important. We are all guilty at times of putting major emphasis on minor matters. But how do we sort out and decide between the things that are urgent and things that are essential? God has help for us with anything in our lives which needs fine-tuning. Today we will look at the life of Jesus, and we'll see how He dealt with this important matter.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode The automotive industry is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history. In this episode, Cavan Robinson, VP of Operations for the Aftermarket at Vehlo, and Tony Mercury, VP of Revenue at Auto Shop Solutions, break down what shop owners need to understand—and act on—right now. The conversation explores the rapid consolidation reshaping the aftermarket, from independent shops being absorbed into MSOs (multi-shop ownership) to major software platforms merging at an unprecedented pace. The discussion then shifts to how marketing is evolving beyond traditional SEO into Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), where a shop's website—especially its FAQ content—becomes the trusted source AI tools use to deliver zero-click search results. On the people side of the business, the episode addresses shop owner burnout, technician ghosting, and a critical reality: younger technicians increasingly view a shop's technology, systems, and online presence as a measure of professionalism before deciding to apply. Key takeaway: A successful modern shop is like a smart home—built on strong behind-the-scenes infrastructure, a polished and accessible front end, and leadership that understands the data driving the entire system.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: Friday, January 9, 2026 Segment: Simply Trade – Cindy's Version (song: “Anti‑Hero”) In this episode, Cindy Allen uses Taylor Swift's “Anti‑Hero” to frame a frank look at how the trade community may be “the problem” when it over‑hypes uncertain outcomes—specifically, the long‑awaited Supreme Court decision on the IEPA tariffs. Cindy opens with a rundown of the first full week of 2026, focusing on growing confusion over valuation of steel and aluminum components for Section 232 duties and the wave of CBP Forms 28 and 29 now hitting importers. She highlights limited, high‑level CBP guidance, the strong FAQ work from NCBFAA, and cautions brokers not to drift into legal advice when it comes to component‑level valuation. Cindy then zooms out to reasonable care, arguing that CBP's practical standard is rising because the agency now has sophisticated AI‑driven supply‑chain mapping tools that importers simply do not. As CBP expects more historic, component‑level data many importers never anticipated needing, companies are struggling to reach deep into multi‑tier supply chains where vendors themselves may not hold detailed records. She warns that technology investment will be essential to meet evolving expectations, even as the definition of “reasonable” shifts upward. The episode also touches on broader policy shifts, including a new FMC member and an importer registration/licensing bill floated as a possible alternative to tariffs—changes that could significantly expand CBP's administrative responsibilities if enacted. Cindy closes by returning to “Anti‑Hero” and the IEPA Supreme Court case: after major trade publications and online chatter primed the industry for a decision that never came, she urges listeners not to become part of the problem by feeding speculation in unprecedented legal territory. Her own “crystal ball” points to a possible February decision, but with a clear warning to treat any prediction with caution and to focus instead on preparation, documentation, and patience. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Section 232 steel and aluminum component valuation has become so contentious, and what CBP is asking for in current 28s/29s. How the reasonable care bar is effectively rising as CBP leverages AI and multi‑layer supply‑chain mapping tools. Why brokers should stick closely to written guidance and leave complex valuation/legal positions to counsel and CBP centers. What a proposed importer registration/licensing regime could mean for CBP and importers if it moves forward. How the trade community over‑hyped an IEPA Supreme Court decision that did not drop—and why speculation can make the industry “the problem.” Key Takeaways Start now: gather steel and aluminum component valuation documents and organize them so you can respond quickly to CBP inquiries. Expect CBP to assume you know (and can prove) more about your supply chain than you realistically do today; plan technology and data improvements accordingly. Be wary of social‑media “deadline certainty” around the IEPA case; no one outside the Court knows the exact timing. Don't be the “Anti‑Hero” of your own program—avoid spreading rumors, focus on facts, and stay ready for multiple legal and policy scenarios. Subscribe & Follow New Roundup episodes every week.

Key Themes 1. The Shift: Entertainment vs. Encounter The Problem with Modern Church Production Social media created a "copycat phase" where churches could suddenly see what megachurches were doing Churches adopted same equipment, same songs, same production values What was unique became ubiquitous - "we all became copies of each other" Gen Z is "the most marketed to generation in human history" and numb to production Quote: "Gen Z is the most marketed to generation in human history. And we're all kind of numb to the production. I don't think people are looking for hype. They're looking for hope." What People Actually Want Something real and tangible An experience of God, not just information about God Presence, not just presentation Transformation over information The Internet's Limitation Really good at delivering information (especially with AI) Cannot facilitate an encounter "There's something that happens in the room that doesn't happen online" 2. What "Encounter Over Entertainment" Looks Like The Tonal Shift Worship leaders being more sensitive to what's happening in the room, not just rehearsed transitions Preachers leaving space, not just hitting time marks Paying attention to what God might be doing (people crying, leaning in, visible reactions) Creating space to breathe Silence and Space "When I started in ministry, my goal was to get rid of as much silence in church as I could" Now: "Where else are you going to get silence? You don't get it unless you're in church" Don't have to fill every moment with words Can be silent or "noodle" on instruments while creating space Quote: "People's lives are so noisy and so crowded. I mean, we don't even sleep without white noise machines or anything like that. So where else are you going to get silence?" Evoke vs. Manipulate Can't plan a revival - it happens or it doesn't Job is to "set the table" and make space for the Holy Spirit Example: Great movies evoke genuine tears by accessing real emotions Cheap manipulation feels different Quote: "It's not our job as Christians to manipulate. It's our job possibly to evoke, to say, 'I'm going to set the table. I can't control the Holy Spirit.'" 3. The Liturgy Issue Modern Church is "Liturgically Malnourished" Liturgy = order of service (not an outdated term) Modern church handles joy and praise well Missing: contemplation, confession, lamentation, reflection Lost practices: prayers of confession, prayers of the people Carey's Confession Presbyterian background included prayers of approach and confession As church became attractional, prayer became "just an opportunity to clear the set for the sermon" Regrets thin prayers: "God, it's so good to be here today. We thank you so much. Amen." Quote: "It's like confess your sins to one another and you will be healed. We don't do that anymore. What if we did that?" Not Either/Or, But Both/And Keep good lighting, sound, production, and musicians who can play Add breathing room, texture, color, tone, mood Use liturgical calendar and historic practices adapted to modern context Don't approach Sunday as "slots to fill" Creative Freedom 52 Sundays = 52 blank canvases Already do this well at Easter and Christmas Can be more creative without confusing people Example: Good Friday Service Ended in darkness with no announcement Faded to black and stayed there People sat in uncomfortable silence, then slowly left "I wanted them to feel that discomfort... if you can even get a small sampling of that" Easter Sunday picked up in darkness, then sunrise/resurrection 4. Live Streaming Strategy Who Should Live Stream? Not every church needs to live stream everything Need good musicians to sound great online (around 400-500 attendance to have talent base) Need separate mix for online vs. in-house Poor production = "school play" - only interesting to those directly involved Quote: "A lot of churches, and these are well-meaning, beautiful Christian people. If you don't have the talent in production or in worship, you sound like a school play." Alternatives Stream just the message On-demand after, mixed in post-production Audio only if video isn't good Consider what strangers stumbling on feed would think The Discovery Argument Pre-COVID minority of churches streamed Now "everybody you want to reach is online" "All of non-Christian America, all the nuns, all the duns, all the atheists, all the agnostics, they're on the internet" Can't remember last time truly unchurched person hadn't watched online for weeks/months before visiting The New Foyer Online is now the foyer, not the physical lobby People investigate online before visiting By the time they show up, they're ready to go "further, faster" "They've already done their investigating. They've already asked ChatGPT all the questions" 5. Practical Service Design Handling Growth Pressure Multiple services create pressure to program everything tightly Solution: Trim 5 minutes from sermon Do 60-minute service with breathing room between Create more lobby/connection space Leverage outdoor space (if climate allows) Worship Set Strategy Don't need extended mix of everything Maybe two songs and a tag instead of three full songs "Sit in the tag for a while" Find the high-impact moments (example: bridge of "How Great Is Our God") Get to what matters, like talent shows do 90-second versions Quote: "You don't have to do the extended mix of everything, the seven minute version, do the tag. That would be great. Space is something that you can do in three minutes if you know how to do it well." Service Flow Examples Don't make people stand and greet (where else does that happen?) Have emotionally intelligent people on doors, not just available people Greet people the way THEY want to be greeted Consider kids moments, announcements, communion as natural transitions Call to commitment/involvement comes sooner now than 10 years ago 6. Online Presence Best Practices Website Design Design for new people first Show service times and location prominently (mobile friendly) Staff page is #3 most viewed - people want to see "are there people like me?" Use accurate photos (don't show 27-year-olds if congregation is 70+) Show actual diversity if you have it Quote (Seth Godin): "Culture is people like us do things like this. So what people are looking for, are there people like us?" Content Strategy Lead with best sermons, not just latest Most popular videos should be easy to find People don't care if it's from 2 years ago (still watching The Office) Have robust FAQ section for unchurched questions Position yourself for lost people, not just members 7. The Current Moment The Harvest is Ripe People are seeking more than maybe in past decade or two Culture is saturated with production - not the competitive edge anymore Mental health crisis caused by social media People desperate for something real What to Do Pray for it (spiritual activity) Make newcomer journey easy Take them somewhere when they show up Go deeper faster - they're ready Quote: "People come to church looking to find God, but sometimes all they find is us. They found a really cool song, they found a really great message, but they didn't actually find God in the midst of it." Give Them Meat Reference to Tara-Lee Cobble and The Bible Recap Provide historical context (helps Christians AND non-Christians) Don't be afraid to go deep on sin, gospel, redemption Write/speak in accessible "street Greek" like the New Testament Example Opening: "Hey, we're going back 3000 years. And there was a guy named David who was King of Israel. He was trying to keep the kingdom united because there was a north and a south. You can relate to that. These are divided times..." Quote (Tim Keller): "It's worse than you can possibly imagine and better than you can possibly dream." 8. Leadership Advice For Young Church Staff (25-40) Navigating Frustration with Leadership Write down actual issues you're facing (budget, staffing, expertise) Present respectfully, thoughtfully, submissively Good leaders will either provide resources or adjust priorities Identifying Toxic Culture Unrealistic expectations Unsympathetic to staff needs Expects 60-hour weeks with no life Toxic leader will get mad/defensive when approached Options in Toxic Environment Respectfully approach and share difficulties Accept the glass ceiling and stay Build healthy team within unhealthy body (temporary solution) Leave - "unhealthy bodies drive out healthy cells" Interview Questions for New Positions Ask to talk to current staff (not the pastor) Ask to talk to FORMER staff Find out who left and why Read Google reviews Have meals/experiences together (reveals character under pressure) Quote: "Ask around, ask if you have permission. Don't ask the pastor. Don't ask the pastor. Are you healthy? The toxic people, 'I'm so healthy.'" 9. Team Building & Growth Hiring Philosophy Only hire A players C players: you know immediately (late, unmotivated, incomplete work) - should be gone B players: good but not great - "it's too bad but we'll survive" A players: if they quit you'd need 3 people to replace them Quote (Netflix): "Adequate performance gets you a generous severance package." A Player Test If they knocked on the door saying "this is my last day," how do you react? C player: "Thank goodness, now I don't have to fire them" B player: "Too bad but we'll survive" A player: "Grabbing the waste basket and throwing up" Growth Wisdom Don't settle on staff because you're panicking Will eventually become bloated with no profit Profit = "permission to do this again tomorrow" (Seth Godin) Most businesses fail not from lack of vision but lack of cash Use tools like Working Genius to find right fit Don't just find A players - find A players with gifts your team needs Cultural Values Write them down and review regularly Ritz-Carlton: 26 values, reviewed 2-3 daily in team meetings Use to evaluate: "Where are we winning/losing with our values?" Catch team members exemplifying values Values help instill culture as org chart grows 10. Upcoming Projects Carey's New Book Topic: AI and the Future Church Thesis: "As the world becomes more artificial, we need to become more human as Christians" Church's future direction is human connection Expected publication: 2026 Latest Book "At Your Best" - about time, energy, and priorities Notable Statistics & Data Points 72% of teenagers have tried AI chatbots 31% prefer AI companionship to human companions Pre-COVID: minority of churches streamed services Can't recall single unchurched person who didn't watch online for weeks/months before visiting Around 400-500 attendance: churches start having talent base for good production 80-95% of church growth in America is conversion growth (not transfer) Top 3 website pages: Homepage, Messages, Staff/About Production Quality Basics Good Enough to Stream Great singing (doesn't need to be phenomenal) Decent lights Pretty good mix Can work with church of 150-200 with good coaching Everything else can be helped with technology Bare Minimum Great guitarist + great vocalist = "off to the races" Don't feel pressure to have full mediocre band Add musicians as you find/afford great ones Practical Takeaways Create space in services - silence, breathing room, sensitivity to the room Recover lost liturgical practices - confession, lamentation, contemplation Go deeper faster - people are ready for meat, not just milk Design for online discovery - unchurched people are investigating you Lead with best content - not just latest content Only hire A players - don't panic hire when growing Build real human connection - counter to increasingly artificial world Make newcomer journey easy - they're ready to engage quickly Be creative with 52 Sundays - not just slots to fill Focus on encounter over entertainment - production supports experience, doesn't replace it Questions for Further Reflection How can we create more space for confession in our services? What would it look like to "evoke" rather than "manipulate" in worship? Are we positioning our online presence for unchurched discovery? Is our production supporting encounter or replacing it? What emotions are people carrying into our services, and how do we acknowledge that? Are we moving too fast for the Holy Spirit to work? Memorable Quotes "I don't think people are looking for hype. They're looking for hope." "People aren't looking for more information. They're looking for presence, not just presentation." "The internet is really good at information, especially with AI. You want to know anything, you can find out anything, but the internet can't really facilitate an encounter." "It's not our job as Christians to manipulate. It's our job possibly to evoke." "Where else are you going to get silence? You don't get it unless you're in church." "If you don't have the talent in production or in worship, you sound like a school play." "Everybody you want to reach is online." "Your foyer has moved online." "People come to church looking to find God, but sometimes all they find is us." "As the world becomes more artificial, we need to become more human as Christians." "Adequate performance gets you a generous severance package." "Profit is permission to do this again tomorrow."

This anchoring practice is about creating a daily habit of tuning into your nervous system with curiosity.A few years ago, one of my mentors shared something that has stayed with me. You don't want to attune to your nervous system only when life gets hard or everything feels like it's falling apart. You want nervous system hygiene. A daily relationship. A practice of checking in before you're overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted. So that when life does get hard, you don't find yourself upside down and completely shaken.Because this is how we change generational patterns.Not in the hot moments of crisis.Crisis will happen. Life will inevitably get hard but this is not the time to try to figure out your nervous system. You don't learn how to anchor a boat for the first time in the middle of a storm. When you've practiced anchoring in calm waters, you intuitively know how to respond when things get rough.It's pretty easy to move through life when things are going well. When our health feels stable, our kids are okay, our relationships feel calm, and life isn't asking too much of us.Our strength isn't tested when life is easy. It's tested when something feels uncertain. When a symptom shows up. When a child is struggling. When we're exhausted, overwhelmed, or carrying more than we know what to do with.And in those moments, most of us instinctively look outward for support. For answers. For something to fix or soothe what we're feeling.But one of the most powerful shifts we can make is realizing that the greatest support isn't external. It's internal.It's the relationship you have with your own body. It's whether you know how to check in. It's whether you can notice what's happening inside of you before you're pushed into reaction.This is what we are doing in this practice.Just learning how to be with yourself, consistently, so that when life gets hard, you know how to loving sit with yourself and respond with confidence instead of reacting with fear.This practice is about connecting your own dots and getting curious about how your system speaks.Thanks for listening!
