In this episode, Vince discusses unique strategies to bring former gym members back, emphasizing the importance of personalized reactivation efforts and relationship-building. He suggests maintaining a reactivation list, regularly reaching out with individualized offers, and using creative tactics like themed campaigns and personalized direct mail to re-engage past members. Vince highlights the New Year period as a prime time for reactivation when people often reflect on missed goals. He emphasizes that while not all former members will return, a thoughtful reactivation process can yield valuable results by overcoming barriers like embarrassment and reminding members that it's okay to come back. Key Points:Building Member Relationships:Retain detailed knowledge about members, such as contact info, family names, birthdays, etc., to make outreach more personalized.Former members often leave due to life circumstances rather than dissatisfaction with the gym. Effective Strategies for Reactivation:Maintain a “reactivation” list of former members and reach out regularly (suggested: five people each month).Send personalized letters or messages to reignite interest, making it clear the outreach is genuine.Offer an irresistible return incentive, like "no payments until January 1" for those who rejoin in November or December. Creative Reactivation Campaigns:Host themed events or send funny, memorable items like "missing member" milk cartons with their photos.Use direct mail for more extensive campaigns, combining letters with small gifts like gym-branded hats or T-shirts. Leverage the New Year's Momentum:November and December are prime months for reactivation as people reflect on the year and consider health goals for the new year.Reinforce that it's “okay to come back” to overcome any feelings of embarrassment members might feel. Tracking and Evaluating:Track where new members come from at year-end to understand the role of reactivation in client acquisition.Reinforce that while not all former members will return, the strategy can yield significant returns with even a small percentage reactivated.

South Korea may seem quite remote to us, both geographically and culturally. Yet right here in the US, in your local malls, colleges, and even churches, could very well be members of the high-control cult from South Korea known as Shincheonji aggressively attempting to recruit people. They also pose on social media sites, even dating apps, they will even lie and deceive people in their recruitment efforts. This week we continue our conversation with Chris, a former SCJ member, who will share more of his story about how he left the group and share valuable insights about SCJ's doctrines and tactics.Related Links: Free access to additional resources including some related Watchman Fellowship Profiles: Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Shincheonji by Steve Matthews: www.watchman.org/ProfileSCJ Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Shincheonji (in Korean) by Steve Matthews: www.watchman.org/SCJ_Korean Apologetics Profile podcast on Shincheonji with Steve Matthews [Part 1]: www.watchman.org/SCJ1 Apologetics Profile podcast on Shincheonji with Steve Matthews [Part 2]: www.watchman.org/PodcastSCJ2 Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on World Missionary Society Church of God by Steve Matthews: www.watchman.org/WMSCOG Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Patterns in the Cults by James Walker: www.watchman.org/Patterns Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Spiritual Abuse by David Henke: www.watchman.org/Abuse Additional ResourcesFREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/Notebook.

South Korea is increasingly becoming a hotbed for cults. A few of them have successfully made their way into the United States through aggressive but sometimes secretive and covert means. On this episode of the Profile, we talk with Chris, a former member of the cult of Shincheonji (pronounced shin-shon-JEE), a group that began in South Korean in 1984.

Shepherding/discipling Bible cults like the International Churches of Christ have an authoritarian structure with the “apostle” or “prophet” being the person closest to God and everyone else having a human to disciple over them all the way down. It is patently abusive by its nature as it is based on submission of one's own conscience and following directions of a person who is in the “role of Jesus” over them. Lawsuits are being filed on behalf of those victimized in the cult, some of whom were sexually assaulted in the group and no responsible action was taken. Over one million people have been involved with this group, most of whom have exited. Most have never spoken out about the abuses they experienced- including breaking sessions, excessive pressure to donate money, or the loss of their personal autonomy and sense of self. If you are interested in legal issues or have been in a controlling Christian group of any kind, you will want to listen to this fascinating episode.

Have you ever wanted to hear all the heavy in one place? From its origins onward? After the untimely passing of Eric Wagner (Trouble, The Skull), one of doom metal's most notable and esteemed singers and songwriters, The Skull bassist and bandleader, Ron Holzner, contemplated long and hard on whether it would be possible to carry on. Nine months and a lot of soul searching later, an idea was born. Alongside guitarist Lothar Keller (The Skull, Sacred Dawn) and drummer Henry Vasquez (The Skull, Saint Vitus, Blood Of The Sun),  vocalist Karl Agell (Corrosion Of Conformity, Blind, Leadfoot, Lie Heavy) as well as vocalist Scott Reagers (Saint Vitus) and riff master general, guitarist Victor Griffin (Death Row, Pentagram, Place Of Skulls). And so LEGION OF DOOM has come to exist with an all-star lineup of doom's most prestigious figureheads, here to share their ultimate heavy truth, taking the genre from what is known into uncharted territories. Recalls Holzner, “I decided I want to honor the memory of Eric by playing songs that he crafted. I want his spirit to become eternal through his words and melody. And I also want to play songs from the catalogs of everyone involved.” Ron and Karl join Vernomatic and Metal Walt and share the process of how and why this much deserved project came about. The four discuss the history of all the members in this band and how it all ties together with the late Eric Wagner.  LEGION OF DOOM will make its debut appearance at Legions Of Metal Fest in Chicago this June before heading overseas for a performance at Hellfest in France with more live dates to be announced in the weeks to come.   LEGION OF DOOM: 6/03/2023 Legions Of Metal Fest @ Reggies Live – Chicago, IL [info] 6/18/2023 Hellfest – Clisson, FR [info]   LEGION OF DOOM: Ron Holzner – bass Lothar Keller – guitars Henry Vasquez – drums Karl Agell – vocals Scott Reagers – vocals Victor Griffin – guitars   http://www.legionofdoomband.com http://www.facebook.com/legionofdoom http://www.facebook.com/troubletheskull http://www.instagram.com/legionofdoommetal http://www.instagram.com/theskullusa

In this episode of Inside Politics: Election 2022, we take a look at Charlotte City Council. Specifically, we're going to dig into the race for the council's four at-large seats. That's where former Mayor Patrick Cannon is running in the Democratic primary on May 17. Cannon spent time in federal prison for accepting $50,000 in cash and gifts when he was on council and mayor.

November 15, 2021 - Candid analysis from Former Members of Congress on the upcoming US Midterms Elections. How will it impact the Congressional legislative agenda in terms of domestic and foreign policy? What will their foreign trade and security priorities be? How can the US work with allies and partners such as The Republic of Korea? This program is produced in partnership between the Association of Former Members of Congress (FMC) and The Korea Society. Featuring the Hon. Elizabeth Esty (D-CT, 2013-2019), the Hon. Mike Bishop (R-MI, 2015-2019), and the Hon. L.F. Payne (D-VA, 1988-1997).

The Exclusive Brethren church has been using the controversial private investigators Thompson and Clark to spy on former members of the church.Over the past two years, Thompson and Clark has conducted hundreds of hours of surveillance on former members who have criticised the cult-like church.The private investigators have watched ex-Brethren from cars and parked surveillance vans and have taken photographs of people entering and leaving their homes.Thompson and Clark made headlines after spying on Greenpeace and Christchurch earthquake insurance claimants. A State Services Commission (SSC) inquiry was later launched into government agencies' use of security consultants.SSC head Peter Hughes condemned government organisations paying Thompson and Clark for "surveillance of a person just because they are lawfully exercising their democratic rights – including their right to freedom of expression, association and right to protest". Government agencies were forbidden to use the private investigators.But Thompson and Clark has continued the same operations for private clients, including the Exclusive Brethren. It has built dossiers on at least 20 ex-members, known or believed to be critics of the church. They contain information from monitoring social media, public records and information gathered from street surveillance – combined with information supplied by the church leadership.Information about the Exclusive Brethren spying operations has been pieced together from confidential past and present Exclusive Brethren sources, information from industry sources and fieldwork.The Exclusive Brethren is headed by Sydney businessman Bruce Hales, known as the Elect Vessel or Man of God. He must give his permission before members are allowed to marry, requires all members' internet access to be controlled on devices leased from a Brethren company and, most of all, does not tolerate any doubting or questioning of his authority.Members who express doubts or question the leadership face a particularly cruel form of punishment: being "withdrawn from" (expelled from the church without right of defence) and cut off from ever seeing or communicating with the Brethren members of their family again. Many ex-members around New Zealand have been separated in this way from their parents, spouses and children. The threat of severed families hangs over the membership. But ex-members say the church leaders still fear them, seeing them as a threat to their control.Surveillance teams have kept watch on ex-members' homes– sometimes from early in the morning until very late at night. They have also followed their cars and tracked them on public transport. The surveillance started in mid-2019 against a visiting British ex-member and branched out through the local ex-Brethren.Some of that surveillance has led to protracted legal and other retaliation against ex-Brethren from the church hierarchy.The main allegations in this story were put to Thompson and Clark director Gavin Clark and he was asked "do you dispute this?" He did not respond to the allegations. Instead he responded, by email, that it was "important to emphasise that [the 2018 SSC inquiry] report does not suggest surveillance can never occur".The company "provides services to protect individuals, operations and assets from being impacted by unlawful activity," he wrote. Thompson & Clark "always strived to operate within the law and the rules and regulations of our industry."Plymouth Brethren Christian Church spokesperson Doug Watt said "While we cannot comment on the actions of every individual within our Church, it is certainly true to say that the Church leadership has absolutely no knowledge or involvement in the matters you have described."He said "Just like any church, we are sad if someone leaves us, but wish them all of the best in their lives.... We strive to live a community-minded life, following the teachings of the Holy Bible and centred around values of care...

Chuka has had a varied career which has involved being a public figure for much of the last 10 years. The common thread running through his two-decade career, first in corporate law, then in public policy, and now back in business has been desire to build a better and more responsible capitalism in which all citizens have stake. The son of an entrepreneur, from a mixed heritage family, he has observed how he would not have had the opportunities he had were it not for the power of enterprise. Not afraid to try new enterprises in politics and to challenge group think and tribalism, he was one of a number of MPs who left the main parties to set up the new party, Change UK. He switched to the Liberal Democrats before leaving politics. For any organisation to thrive, Chuka believes internal challenge is vital, as is an understanding that success is not all about any one individual but a group. But any group needs a leader to lead and bring decisions to a head.Top Tip - Draw up a strategy – which will always evolve - and then focus laser like on the tactical execution of it, whilst having a ‘Plan B’ if ‘Plan A’ doesn’t work out.#InspiringLeadership #leadership #CEOs #MotivationalSpeaker #teamcoach #Boards See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has been “fatally undermined” by the actions of former members, a Labour Party senator has claimed Louth based Senator Ged Nash, who is a former PAC member, said the Angela Kerins Supreme Court ruling raised serious questions about TDs “playing the man rather than ball” during committee hearings. Mr Nash said ex-PAC members John McGuinness, Mary Lou McDonald and Shane Ross would have to “account for their actions” in the wake of the ruling in favour of the former Rehab chief executive. “The actions of Mary Lou McDonald and the actions of Shane Ross have potentially fatally undermined the public accounts committee,” Mr Nash told Independent.ie's Floating Voter podcast. “This really puts a question mark over the future operation of the Public Accounts Committee and other committees as well,” he added Mr Nash said he raised his “unease” about the committee's investigation into Rehab at the time of the hearings in 2014. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court signalled its intention to issue a declaration which will say the PAC acted “unlawfully” in its questioning of Ms Kerins. A final ruling will be made the court in April when the court will decide if the former charity boss is entitled to damages. Ms Kerins previously told the courts she tried to take her own life after she was grilled by the PAC over her €240,000 salary.

Perhaps that's why the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress was formed, to keep tabs.  Roll Call's Niels Lesniewski attended the Association's recent Statesmanship Awards Dinner, where current and former members exchanged some fairly interesting ideas about Congress, and even gossiped a bit about the people who sleep in their offices.

Ambassador Roemer discusses the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress by American Ambassadors Live!

In Professor David Schoenbrod’s new book DC CONFIDENTIAL: Inside the Five Tricks of Washington, he asserts that in the 1960s, elected officials in Congress and the White House figured out a system for enacting laws and spending programs—one that lets them take the credit for promising good news while avoiding the blame for producing bad results. He argues that with five key tricks, politicians of both parties now avoid accounting to the people for what the government does. The result is a vicious cycle of grand promises and budget gimmicks by elected officials, failed policies, blame-shifting by politicians, and spiraling distrust of a government too dysfunctional and unaccountable to solve major problems. The book contends that the ground rules of government must change so that elected officials will once again shoulder responsibility for results. Schoenbrod also offers a practical action plan for reform including a legislative solution—the "Honest Deal Act"—which would change incentives and fundamentally reform government procedures. -- This program was held at the Rayburn House Office Building on April 19, 2017. -- Featuring: Honorable Martin Frost, Former Congressman, Vice-President, U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress; Professor David Schoenbrod, Trustee Professor of Law, New York Law School; and Professor Adam White, Research Fellow, The Hoover Institution and Adjunct Professor, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University.

Pioneering jazz-rock drummer and composer Danny Seraphine is a founding member of Chicago. Worldwide the iconic group has sold over 122 million albums, and, just domestically, earned 22 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum albums. In 1990, after 23 years in the group, Seraphine and Chicago had a jarring parting of ways, and he left music behind for 15 years. But a call to play a benefit show for a fellow drummer pulled him out of seclusion and sparked a creative rebirth. Today, Seraphine looks forward with Sacred Ground (Street Sense), the sophomore record from his jazz-rock powerhouse group CTA—often described as “Chicago on steroids”—and he makes peace with his past with the refreshingly candid memoir Street Player: My Chicago Story (Wiley)Bill Champlin is an American singer, guitarist, keyboard player, arranger, producer, and songwriter. His performance work is principally associated with the bands Chicago and the Sons of Champlin. He has won multiple Grammy Awards for songwriting.

Ambassador Mark Green is President & CEO of the Initiative for Global Development (IGD), a nonprofit organization that engages corporate leaders to reduce poverty through business growth and investment in Africa. A recognized leader in the foreign policy and business communities, Green served as the U.S. Ambassador to Tanzania from mid-2007 to early 2009. While there he led a mission of more than 350 Americans and Tanzanians and was ultimately responsible for some of the world's largest U.S.-led development programs. Prior to serving as U.S. Ambassador, Green served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he helped craft key policy initiatives including the Millennium Challenge Act and President Bush's history-making AIDS program. Most recently, he served as Senior Director at the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, a network of 400 businesses, NGOs, policy experts, and other leaders supporting a smart power approach to American foreign policy.
