Ever seen an account hit 10K followers in 32 days? (21k now, 10 days after this episode was recorded.) Well, my team just did it as a side-hustle experiment. No warm audience, almost zero ad spend, and 99% organic reach. We leaned into one core principle: specificity. Then we used our Messaging AI Bot to test new frameworks and handle 80% of topic generation, titles, and hooks. The result? 468K views, thousands of shares, and new followers pouring in every day. Today on the podcast, I break down exactly how we built a new brand from scratch using AI and relevancy triggers. Listen in and discover the six content frameworks that stop the scroll and spark engagement, why micro-specific scenarios beat generic advice every time, how to use our Messaging AI Bot to craft bullet-proof messaging, the surprising case study that delivered 468K views in just one month, and the #1 trap course creators fall into with AI (and how to avoid it). If you're ready to supercharge your messaging and fuel rapid, organic growth using AI, this episode is your new blueprint. Tune in now! Want to learn more about Built To Convert and the B Bot?

An epic rant on how social media has changed so much in 2025. Social media marketing and growing an audience on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc - is just a crazy landscape. Would love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments....

It is a striking fact, though often overlooked, that from the earliest days of the Church, the Virgin Mary was not merely honoured as the Mother of our Lord, but held up as the model of Christian faith itself.This wasn't because early Christians confused her with Christ, or wished to place her above Him. Rather, they saw in her something the modern world too often misses: a life fully and freely surrendered to God. Before she carried Christ in her womb, she had already welcomed Him in her heart.When the angel Gabriel came to her, he did not offer a polite suggestion. He declared a divine reality: “You will conceive and bear a son.” No theological debate, no careful exposition, only a moment of decision. And Mary's response—“Be it unto me according to thy word”—was more than agreement. It was the first, purest act of discipleship in all of Christian history. From that moment, the Church understood something profound: Mary is not the exception to the Christian life; she is its pattern.Long before St. Peter dropped his nets or St. Paul fell from his horse, Mary had already said yes to God. She believed when belief came at a cost. She trusted when she did not understand. She obeyed when the path was unclear. And when all others had fled the cross, she remained.This is why the earliest Christians honoured her—not as a goddess, not as a distant symbol, but as the first and truest disciple. They called her Theotokos, “God-bearer,” not to exalt her above Christ, but to defend the truth of the Incarnation: that God truly became man, and did so through the willing obedience of a human being.Mary shows us what it looks like when humanity is fully open to God. Not proud. Not self-sufficient. Not scrambling to control. But open. Receptive. Willing. We are not called to be her, but we are called to follow her. And most of us, it must be said, are not likely to become apostles, prophets, or martyrs. But we are all called to do what she did: to listen for the voice of God—and to respond, not with delay or demands, but with faith.If the Fall began with Eve's “no,” then redemption begins with Mary's “yes.” In that yes, history turned, Heaven touched Earth, and the Word became flesh. She did not work miracles. She did not preach sermons. She simply gave herself to God—and in doing so, gave the world its Saviour. Her faith was quiet, but unshakable. Hidden, but world-changing. And if we have eyes to see it, her life offers us not a relic to revere, but a path to walk. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Feedback First: The Starting Point for Better Sales Coaching Listen for What Isn't Said: The Coaching Skill Most Managers Miss Episode 275 (Keith is based in Philladephia) In this conversation with Keith Willis, we explore: why real coaching starts with clarity, not a barrage of questions how an Army leadership mindset accelerates business coaching outcomes the pharma sales reality and why managers must coach for influence over time a practical cadence for field rides, feedback, and field coaching reports a three-step coaching move: say it, support it, then ask for their view spotting belief barriers (like “I hate being closed”) and reframing them with stories listening for the unsaid—naming hesitancy to surface the real issue how to kick-off a coaching culture with a 7:1 positive feedback ratio ----- About our guest, Keith Willis: Keith is the president and founder of Core Management Training. He helps organizations build leadership competencies, coaching systems and sales performance frameworks that strengthen managers and elevate teams. A former U.S. Army Captain he honed his skills in team building, strategic planning and leadering before translating those lessons into coaching for leaders in the pharmaceutical industry. Learn more about Corel Management Training and their programs https://coremanagementtraining.com/ ----- Key Learning Points: change is constant—assume the environment will shift and prepare people to adapt. military leadership and great business coaching share more similarities than most think. start with assessment before training: interviews, 360s, and gap-mapping. pharma selling is influence over time, not a one-meeting close—so coach for the long game. field ride-alongs plus clear field coaching reports (FCRs) remain essential. the common coaching mistake: endless questions that hide the manager's point of view. better sequence: say it, support it with observations/data, then ask for reaction. coach beliefs, not only skills (e.g., why a rep avoids closing). listen for what's not said; name hesitancy and invite the real conversation. to launch coaching at scale: begin with positive feedback, aim for a ~7:1 ratio before tougher notes, use a simple model, and weave coaching into 1:1s. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

It has been said that the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. One characteristic of the One Right Church is that a secondary issue becomes primary. The church begins to focus on something that isn't the main thing. Then, either peer pressure or a dominant leader enforces the importance of the secondary thing. The primary thing disappears when the secondary becomes too important. In this episode, we talk about a tragic turn that this took recently, when a family in the Followers of Christ failed to seek medical care for their infant. It is a sobering reminder to keep Jesus, not an auxiliary belief, central.

September 28, 2025 - Developing a Deciple - "Admirer or Follower?" by Southwest Christian Church

To Become a Follower of Jesus, You Must Have Faith; and Your Faith Comes From YOU Hearing God's Word MESSAGE SUMMARY:  Others to whom you minister, such as your children and friends, can her about the Lord and the Gospel from you – for the first time or in reinforcement; but they must hear for themselves and believe for themselves to be saved. Many of us first believed because of what our parents taught us; but then we heard for ourselves, and we believed. You cannot live on another's faith in Jesus. We must hear the Gospel for ourselves and come to the Lord in our own faith. As Paul tells us in Romans 10:16-17: “But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, ‘Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?'. So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." You will stand before the Lord alone in judgment – you will speak for yourself with only Jesus to speak for you. Share God's good news with your family and friends so that they can hear and believe for themselves.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will entrust to Him my future. I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.  From 2 Timothy 1:12 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 2 Timothy 1:5; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14; Matthew 7:24-27; Psalms 72b:11-20.

Nathan Schiess is a personal branding strategist and marketing expert who helps real estate professionals build authority, create visibility, and attract aligned relationships through strategic content. With a background in psychology, personal development, and real estate investing, Nathan blends storytelling and strategy to position his clients as trusted leaders in the industry.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways A personal brand is not vanity — it's a system for communicating credibility to investors. Social media should be treated as a business tool, not a personal diary. High-net-worth individuals invest in people they trust, not just in advertised returns. You don't need tens of thousands of followers — a small, targeted audience can raise millions. Content should focus on solving your ideal client's problems, not showcasing yourself.     Topics From Investor to Branding Expert Nathan built a 40-unit portfolio before transitioning to focus on branding. Learned the importance of documenting and marketing expertise after losing everything in a divorce. Why Personal Branding Matters Without a brand, every investor interaction requires retelling your story. A curated online presence creates confidence and trust before the first meeting. Overcoming Objections to Social Media Branding isn't about you — it's about your Ideal Client Profile (ICP). Being shy or reluctant isn't an excuse if your goals require visibility. Branding can be outsourced like any other business function. Content That Builds Trust Define your ICP clearly and tailor content to their problems, questions, roadblocks, and desired results. Consistency and clarity build authority over time. Followers who won't invest aren't your audience — focus only on those who will. Monetizing Without Vanity Metrics 1,000 quality followers can generate six figures in deal flow. Followers must know exactly how to work with you — clear calls to action are essential. Avoid content that entertains without converting.

In 1633, Galileo Galilei was condemned by the Roman Inquisition for teaching that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His defiance became a symbol of individual conscience against powerful institutions. On this episode of The Chris Spangle Show, we explore the history of individualism versus collectivism — from Socrates to the Stoics, from Christianity and the Reformation to Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and John Stuart Mill, and into the American founding. We also explore libertarian principles of ethical individualism, free speech, and personal responsibility, contrasting them with the dangers of conformity, censorship, and control inherent in collectivism. What you'll learn in this episode: Galileo's trial and its impact on science and freedom How Christianity and the Reformation shaped individualism The Enlightenment's role in liberty and natural rights Ethical individualism vs. collectivist control Why libertarians defend conscience, speech, and voluntary cooperation ⁠https://youtu.be/q3Y7zGmoYaA⁠ 00:00 Galileo vs. the Inquisition 01:49 The Rise of Heliocentrism 02:42 Courage, Individualism, & Libertarianism 03:33 What Is Individualism?

In Episode 177 of Paper Talk, Quynh Nguyen, Jessie Chui, and Sara Kim open up about what it truly means to build community as artists. While follower counts and viral videos can feel validating, they share why authentic connections, through workshops, newsletters, stories, and everyday conversations, are what sustain and grow a creative business. “Viral videos are great, but they don't necessarily attract the most loyal followers. It's the repeat names I see in my sales that remind me of true community.” - Jessie You'll hear Sara's perspective on how her most meaningful opportunities came directly from workshop students, Jessie's reflections on balancing different audiences and maintaining authenticity, and Quynh's stories of unexpected collaborations that blossomed from in-person connections. “Community is when you give special attention to the person—through real DMs, emails, or conversations—that's where I see the people who become students and buyers.” - Sara Together, they explore how community shapes not only business but also personal fulfillment. If you've ever wondered how to turn social media followers into real supporters, or how to nurture a group of people who truly understand your work, this episode is for you. “Our community feels like our children. We want to give them tools to grow stronger and avoid the mistakes we made.” - Quynh

Dr. Yousaf Sadiq was born into a Christian family in Pakistan. He will share how his ancestors came to faith in Christ in India out of Hinduism. While his parents never had the opportunity to go to school and learn to read and write, Yousaf shares how they saw education as a privilege. His mother worked as a cleaner at a local school so that Yousaf and some of his ten siblings would have an opportunity to be educated. In the evenings, he would help his mother clean the school where he was a student during the day. Despite their deep poverty, Yousaf gratefully recounts how his family's needs were always met. Today Yousaf is a professor at Wheaton College and co-leader of the Lausanne Persecuted Church Initiative. He remembers how his parents invested time and energy in training their children to walk with the Lord, and how they led by example. “There was a strong training and guidance by our parents,” Yousaf said, “They would wake up early in the morning to pray, showing us that prayer was vital.” Yousaf also shares what it looks like to live in Pakistan as a Christian. There are many pressures within the society, but Yousaf understood at a young age that Christian persecution is part of following Christ. “I felt not only strengthened but also privileged that this was happening,” he says. Pray for persecuted Christians in Pakistan and be encouraged by the faith our brothers and sisters display. You can learn more about Christian persecution in Pakistan through VOM Radio interviews with Dr. Michael Reeves, “Brother Johanna” and Kenneth Charles.
