Dr. Lauryn Brunclik didn't rest on the success of her seven figure chiropractic clinic, instead building something even bigger alongside it. In this episode, she shares how launching a podcast helped her stop relying solely on new patient bookings and start growing a personal brand that's generated over $1.6 million online (long before she ever hit 10,000 followers.) With over 1,000 podcast downloads in the first week of her show launch with a brand new Instagram account, Lauryn quickly proved that audience size isn't everything when it comes to building a brand that converts. Today she breaks down: Why most service providers flop when they try to bring their in-person niche online What a “sexy niche” actually is (and why it matters more than your follower count) All of the revenue streams that make up her personal brand If you're building a business both offline and online, this episode will show you what actually moves the needle—without starting from scratch.

Join us (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) as we talk about "joyless urgency," a brilliant phrase coined by Marilynne Robinson. The short story is that our modern kind of hustle culture and constant busyness often leads to little personal fulfillment. So what's causing all this urgency? We've highlighted some important reasons in some recent episodes (see links below). Today, we'll introduce another one: too much social media. We'll focus on something called "problematic engagement" and how excessive use on social media can fuel a cycle of anxiety and temporary relief followed by more anxiety and temporary relief and then more anxiety... you get the picture. Awareness is the first step to get out of this cycle and we'll hit on that a bit in this episode. And be sure to tune in for the next several episodes as we'll cover some practical steps you can take to get out of joyless urgency and back into joy.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!   Sources and Notes: Joy Lab Program: Take the next leap in your wellbeing journey with step-by-step practices to help you build and maintain the elements of joy in your life.

Send us a textProfessor R. L. Solberg participated in a livestreamed debate with Torah teacher Melissa Schilling Smith (aka God's Little Hummingbird) on How the Sinai Law Applies to Followers of Jesus. The discussion was moderated by Melissa's friend, Scott Harwell, who also hosted the debate on his YouTube channel. Both agree that salvation is by grace through faith alone, but they differ on what obedience looks like under the New Covenant. The conversation covers the meaning of “new” in Jeremiah 31, whether the Sinai Covenant is still in effect, the role of the Holy Spirit in writing God's law on the heart, the purpose of the feasts and Sabbaths, dietary laws, and how to understand passages like Colossians 2 and Hebrews 8. Along the way, they also touch on eschatology, the Gospel of the Kingdom, and the unity of Jew and Gentile in God's plan. This is a deep dive into Scripture, theology, and the continuity (or discontinuity) between the Old and New Covenants. The debate was recorded on August 6th, 2025. The Biblical Roots MinistriesOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)

Alfonso Peccatiello built a following of 500,000 on LinkedIn by doing something radical – by being a real, authentic human in the fund world.  And that authentic social presence helped him close investment deals for his new hedge fund, Palinuro Capital.  Alfonso's story is proof that it pays to challenge the status quo and to put people (and connections) first – even in a numbers-obsessed industry.  Want the full story? Join Alfonso and Stacy as they discuss: Alfonso's backstory: How a car accident sparked his obsession with creating success on his own terms Why he's never afraid to repel the wrong investor How his willingness to repel, both on social media and in meetings, has helped him attract more of the right investors The lesson he learned as a $20B bond manager that has served him most as an entrepreneur (spoiler alert, it wasn't an investing technique) More About Alfonso PeccatielloAlfonso (Alf) Peccatiello is the CIO of the global macro hedge fund Palinuro Capital. Alf was born in Southern Italy, roughly 1,000 km away from the closest financial center, yet his dream was to run his own hedge fund. To get there, he had an idea: share macro analysis and frameworks with the world through his research firm, The Macro Compass, first, establish relationships, and only after spinning out his macro hedge fund. After scoring the largest asset managers in the world as clients of his research, here we are: his global macro hedge fund, Palinuro Capital, is ready to launch in January 2025. As a proper Southern Italian, Alf stands by three culinary rules: no cappuccino unless it's breakfast, no pineapple on pizza, and never break pasta in pieces!Apply for The StorySales™ Accelerator, an exclusive 6-week program for boutique fund managers who want to craft compelling stories and confidently raise capital | https://www.havenercapital.com/accelerator Want More Help With Storytelling? +  Subscribe to my newsletter to get a weekly email that helps you use your words to power your growth:https://www.stacyhavener.com/subscribe   - - -Make The Boutique Investment Collective part of your Billion Dollar Backstory.

 Clayton Morris is on a 9/11 Truth run! He's interviewed 9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers' Captain Dan Hanley; Int'l Center for 9/11 Justice's Ted Walter; Former Congressman Curt Weldon; Senator Ron Johnson, Firefighters Raul Angulo & Erik Lawyer, and now, RichardGage911 — all on the formerly taboo 9/11 truth subject.  We thank each of you who contributed to our successful fundraising campaign to hire a top PR consultant to get us out there. And it's working!! We got on Jimmy Dore with 345K Rumble subscribers, garnered 44.6K views, and got 923 thumbs-up! Now, here on Redacted, which has 2.7M YouTube subscribers, we have already reached 160K views with 13K thumbs up and 3K very positive comments — all in one day! The truth of 9/11 is finally Turning the Tide!And on Rumble, Redacted has 614K followers and the RG911 interview/presentation reached 51K viewers — in a day!  I told Clayton when he invited us to his platform that this is a graphically intense set of information and that his audience will want to see ALL of these hundreds of powerful images and videos.  Here's how he introduced us on his platform:“What really brought down the Twin Towers, the World Trade Center, on 9/11? Was it airplanes as they've led us to believe, or was it actually a controlled demolition? I think all evidence now points to the truth, that it was in fact a controlled demolition of the main Twin Towers and Building 7.No one perhaps knows more about this in the world than our next guest. You are really, I think, at the center of all of the evidence that's been compiled to prove that these were controlled demolitions. And yes, this material is extremely important for everybody to be aware of, so thank you for bringing it and having the courage, for so long, to bring this material out in pieces to your audience.And yeah, without the help of yourself and others, helping us put all of this information together over the years, it used to be a really taboo topic. It used to be, ‘oh, 9/11 Truther, you're a conspiracy theorist.' And I think overwhelmingly, most Americans believe that something massively fishy happened on that day. They do not believe the official narrative.Can you share this with everyone, because what we're going to go through today is deep evidence? We're going to talk molten metal, we're going to talk specifics with these buildings. So buckle up! But before we get there, before I turn things over to Richard to walk us through all of this evidence, I might interject, but I'm going to be watching. So for the next 45 minutes, Richard is going to take us through a deep dive of exactly how this happened.”And then, I went off, and he just took it all in! Support the show

Today, I want to dig into how I would start a business if there's no existing audience — how I would get off the ground, how we would get momentum, how I would create a community of people who are actually listening to what I have to say and how I would make real tangible dollar bills as early as possible in the process. But before we get into the strategies, I just want to say that I have never met someone who actually has no audience.    ⁠⁠⁠Join The Co-op – The Membership for Online Businesses⁠⁠⁠  Connect with Abagail⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠All the Links!⁠⁠ Perhaps you've never started a page with this focus, or this niche, but we have connections, and it's our job to leverage the connections that already exist.

Charismatic Leadership can be a gift or a curse to a church. The Biblical requirement is humility and a servant attitude, recognizing that the church belongs to Jesus. It is dangerous when the leader approaches the church as something that serves him. Some of the negative effects have to do with how followers react to them. Followers can be attracted to charismatic leadership because it offers certainty and confidence in an uncertain world.

Why are there so many books on “leadership” but almost none on “followership?” To answer that question, we first return to the cockpit recording from the midair helicopter collision over Reagan International this past spring. This scenario illustrates what can go wrong when people are unprepared for a reversal of the leader/follower roles they are used to. Tony uses this example to dive into the complex dynamics of these relationships and the critical skills that engaged followers should be learning from their leaders as they grow their team contribution and experience level. From big picture thinking to habit/routine creation to growing your relationship network, being an active follower builds all the foundational elements required to someday become a legendary leader.

Should you be welcoming your new followers on Instagram? In Jill's experience, no. Messages like that can often feel pushy and transactional. Instead, she advocates for building genuine connections through subtle engagement strategies, emphasizing the importance of understanding social media dynamics and fostering relationships over immediate sales. When you focus on creating a welcoming environment without the pressure of sales, you'll ultimately end up with more sustainable business relationships.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Writer, filmmaker, and one of the founding queens of Drag Story Hour, Kyle Casey Chu (aka Panda Dulce) brings us her poignant debut novel. Equal parts sweet coming-of-age story and thoughtful, kid-friendly exploration of intersectional identity, QUEEN BEES OF TYBEE COUNTY is a celebration and imagination of a world in which we all get the support and affirmation we deserve. After making the buzzer-beating shot at the Georgia basketball state championships, Derrick Chan becomes the star of Bayard Middle School, and Derrick's single dad could not be prouder. But there are parts of Derrick that no one knows about, like the toenail polish he wears under his basketball sneakers, his secret lip-sync performances in the bathroom mirror, and the feelings he's developing for his best friend and teammate, JJ. As the school year comes to a close, Derrick's dad takes an out-of-town job and ships Derrick off to spend the summer with his estranged, eccentric grandmother, Claudia. Soon, Claudia introduces Derrick to the world of small-town southern beauty pageants, and Derrick suddenly feels he's found where he belongs. But when the opportunity arises to compete in the town pageant, Derrick is forced to decide just how much of himself he's ready to show the world. Can he learn to love and accept the most unique parts of himself? And what will happen if others—like his father and JJ—can't do the same? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

No one told better stories than Jesus because no one asked better questions than Jesus. In three of his best tales he asks, “What makes a man rich?” Hint: “money” is the wrong answer. What is false wealth, and what are true riches?

The digital landscape is shifting beneath our feet as free streaming services continue to vanish. Amazon's Freevee joins the growing list of casualties, leaving consumers with fewer no-cost options while paid services paradoxically charge premium prices yet still bombard viewers with advertisements. This troubling trend prompted a spirited discussion about the psychological tactics companies employ to normalize paying for content that still contains commercials.A fascinating study reveals unexpected insights about our relationships with robots possessing different personality traits. While people generally enjoy interacting with confident, extroverted AI, they find neurotic robots surprisingly relatable—even attributing emotional depth where none exists. This anthropomorphizing tendency raises important questions about how we connect with technology and the blurring lines between human and machine interaction. As one host quipped, "This is technological schizophrenia," highlighting concerns about our growing emotional dependence on artificial companions.Instagram's controversial new policy requiring 1,000 followers to live stream effectively eliminates a feature many small communities relied upon for intimate gatherings. This fundamental shift away from Instagram's original purpose of connecting small groups mirrors broader changes across social media, where platforms continually modify features to prioritize growth and revenue over community building. Yet despite frequent controversial changes, these platforms maintain their user bases, demonstrating the powerful hold they have on our digital social lives.The episode also explores Natura AI, a polarizing new product combining earbuds with an AI assistant that responds to voice commands throughout the day. While one host saw potential benefits in having information instantly available, the other condemned it as promoting social disconnection. This tension between technological convenience and human connection underscores the central theme running through the show—how we navigate the complex relationship between innovation and our fundamental need for authentic human experience.Support the show
