Podcasts about forward thinking

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training AI is either the end of agencies… or the biggest opportunity we've had since the internet. Most agree it's the second one. Agencies that are winning right now are combining SEO, GEO, AEO, and LLM optimization so they show up everywhere decisions are being made. They're using AI to increase leverage, not replace thinking. And they're restructuring their teams around strategy, insight, and proprietary data instead of repetitive task work. Today's featured guest will discuss why SEO isn't dead (it just grew up), the biggest mistake agencies are making with AI, how to 10x output without adding headcount, and why your unique data is the unfair advantage that separates you from every other agency prompting ChatGPT and hoping for magic. Terry Zelen is the founder of Zelen Communications, a 35-year-old agency that pivoted aggressively into AI over the last three years. He's helping clients win visibility across both search engines and large language models (LLMs) and even building AI tools internally to reduce hallucinations and improve accuracy. Terry has a degree in marine biology, so marketing wasn't the master plan. After college, he tried breaking into the creative world with zero portfolio and got laughed out of the room; until one person gave him a shot. He worked for free, proved himself, connected with a freelance rep, and slowly worked his way up through the agency ranks. He eventually transitioned from freelancer to agency owner by acquiring his own accounts and building relationships locally in Tampa. Fast forward three decades and now he's helping clients navigate AI, LLM visibility, and what modern SEO really looks like. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why SEO is more complicated now, but agencies willing to adapt can still win How LLM visibility will win you business AI: The greatest leverage small businesses have ever had Building an AI consensus engine Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

It's Just Way More Complicated There's a lot of noise right now around "SEO is dead" or "zero-click internet." But that's an oversimplification. SEO isn't going away. It's evolving. Today, it's not just SEO. It's: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) Local SEO EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust) Search intent In other words, visibility is the game. Not just ranking in Google, but showing up in LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Terry points out that while snippets and AI-generated summaries are increasing, people still want to verify sources. They're not buying a couch because an LLM told them it's the best. They'll still visit sites, compare options, and validate credibility. Backlinks, structured content, schema, quality. It all still matters. What's different is that now you're playing the game with Google and the LLMs. How LLM Visibility Actually Wins Business This isn't theoretical. Terry shared a story of a client who builds modular classroom buildings. A school district searched for "best mobile building producer in Florida" and the client showed up in a snippet. That visibility led directly to a new contract. So you're no longer optimizing just for rankings. You're optimizing to be the referenced authority when AI generates an answer. That means you better have structured content, clear positioning, backlinks, authority signals, and presence on surfaces LLMs scrape (including platforms like Reddit, though that's evolving). The agencies that understand this shift can bolt on new services like AI SEO or GEO and, in some cases, significantly increase revenue. But there's a catch. This space is evolving fast. What works today might not work next quarter. That's why Terry avoids gray-hat tactics and focuses on fundamentals. AI Is the Greatest Leverage Small Agencies Have Ever Had Terry believes this might be the most exciting time ever for small agencies because AI has eliminated barriers that used to require massive budgets. When a small restaurant client wanted a red snapper on a black background for their website, stock photography didn't cut it and real shoot would've required a diver, photographer, cooperative fish and a significant budget. Instead, they used Midjourney to create the image. Then they animated it so the fins and gills subtly moved. The client was blown away. For a small restaurant, this level of visual production used to be impossible. Now it's affordable and scalable. That's the opportunity. Agencies can deliver higher-quality creative, faster, and at lower cost if they know how to use the tools. A Very Real Fear for Future Marketers Terry regularly speaks to marketing students who are worried AI will take their jobs. What he tells them is that AI won't take your job, but someone who knows how to use AI will. The key is not blind reliance. It's intelligent leverage. AI is excellent at: Research Proposal drafting Competitive analysis First drafts of content Summarizing data What used to take weeks can now take hours. That frees your team from repetitive, dreaded tasks and allows them to focus on strategy, creativity, and client impact. But there's a danger in over-reliance. Too many agencies are slapping "AI" on everything without adding original thinking or proprietary data. Your edge isn't that you use AI. Your edge is your data. Every agency has unique client data, performance metrics, positioning, and experience. When you combine that with AI, that's where real leverage happens. Building a Consensus Engine to Reduce AI Hallucinations One of the more advanced things Terry is experimenting with is what he calls a "consensus engine." The problem with LLMs is that they're probabilistic, not deterministic. Ask the same question twice and you'll get two slightly different answers. They also hallucinate. To combat this, Terry built a workflow using N8N (a Zapier-like automation tool) that runs content through multiple LLMs. One writes it. Another critiques it. The final output must pass both systems before it's considered valid. If they disagree, it's sent back through with adjusted parameters. He's also exploring how different LLMs perform best in different roles: Perplexity for real-time research ChatGPT for writing Claude for programming Instead of treating AI as one tool, he's assembling a stack of specialized tools. That mindset shift, thinking like a systems architect instead of a prompt typist, is what separates surface-level AI use from strategic advantage.

The United States and Israel began bombing Iran just over a week ago. Iran responded by bombing their aggressors' allies in the Gulf States. Hundreds are dead and the purpose of the war remains unclear. We discuss the latest developments, examine the theocratic system in Iran and whether Christian nationalism influences the Trump administration. Taking part are Tara Kangarlou journalist, author of The Heartbeat of Iran and adjunct professor at Georgetown University in Washington DC and by Oliver McTernan, director of Forward Thinking- a mediation and conflict resolition NGO.The group of Conservative Anglicans, known as Gafcon, met in Nigeria's capital Abuja this week. They are opposed to the appointment of the first female Archbishop of Canterbury - Sarah Mullally. There are 95 million Anglicans around the world with the Archbishop of Canterbury being their spiritual figurehead. It had been thought that Gafcon would elect their own leader and cause a full scale split but instead they elected their own leadership council. Madeline Davies from the Church Times has been following the story.We also talk to Prof. Daisy Fancourt on how being involved with artistic pusuits, whether it's dancing, reading or visiting msuems and galleries, can lower the risk of developing depression, lower blood pressure and ease chronic pain. And Brian Heffernan- an expert on Augustinian history talks about his new book on Pope Leo the 14th and whether being an Augustinian is more important to The Pope than being American.

When patients need answers fast, most urgent cares still default to on-site X-ray or referrals—but there's a smarter, more efficient tool that can elevate your clinical care, improve outcomes, and drive new revenue.In this episode, Nick and Michael sit down with Dr. Tatiana Havryliuk, a board-certified emergency physician and founder of Hello Sono, to explore how point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is transforming urgent care from the inside out. With over 15 years of ER experience and deep ultrasound expertise, Dr. Tatiana shares how POCUS can help urgent cares confidently diagnose more in-house, avoid unnecessary ER visits, and open the door to repeat patients who trust your clinic to deliver next-level care.They unpack what POCUS is, how it compares to X-ray, where it fits in urgent care workflows, and what it takes to implement it without overwhelming your team. Whether you're in a rural location, struggling with X-ray staffing, or ready to grow by offering higher-value services, this conversation is full of practical insights and strategic takeaways.

Nursing education focuses on the development and demonstration of clinical judgment, which includes creating plans of care that meet the needs of the intended patient, family, or population. Innovation is a logical next step in nursing practice, filling the gaps left by a lack of evidence or products. During a curricular redesign, a new required course on health care innovations was added to the undergraduate curriculum. This podcast with Dr. Sarah Llewellyn and Edward Zepeda presents a teaching strategy that helps students prepare for advanced or expanded roles in practice to address real-world problems.

This week we talk about what it really looks like to think ahead in a business. Instead of getting stuck reacting to today's problems, we look at how small, intentional planning can make everything smoother — from scheduling and staffing to equipment, goals, and long-term projects. It's about choosing direction instead of drift. The big idea is simple: forward thinking isn't fancy. It's noticing what keeps tripping you up, fixing it before it becomes a pattern, and giving yourself space to plan for what's coming. When you do that consistently, the future gets a lot easier to manage.

Are you ever tempted to dwell on the best days of your past, wondering if your future can measure up?In today's episode, host Stephanie Muiña invites us into a season of "Forward Thinking," encouraging our community to focus on the promises God has laid out for the days ahead. Drawing from inspirational passages like Jeremiah 29:11 and Haggai, we'll explore together how to let go of limiting thoughts from our past and confidently declare blessings over our future. Through personal stories and biblical truth, we'll learn to nurture hope and embrace the exciting possibilities God has prepared for each of us.Join us in prayer and devotion as we step forward with anticipation, trusting in God's unwavering promise of a future filled with hope.Tap HERE to send us a text!

Oliver McTernan, Director of Forward Thinking - a mediation and conflict resolution organisation in the Middle East - discusses the challenges facing the Israel/Hamas peace deal.

In the aftermath of a ceasefire deal being agreed by Israel and Hamas, US President Donald Trump said today that “...we are going to have hope, harmony, opportunity and happiness here”.

Two years after October 7th,  a rare moment of hope and jubilation for war-ravaged Gaza and for Israelis awaiting the return of their loved ones, after Donald Trump announced the Israel-Hamas deal had been reached. Christiane speaks with three Middle East mediators, Oliver Mcternan of Forward Thinking, Israel's Yossi Beilin who served as the country's justice minister, and Hussein Agha who has a long history in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, about the intricacies of the deal and whether it will lead to a lasting peace. Then, Christiane speaks with Israeli journalist Nir Hasson about why he thinks Israel's brutal response to the October 7th massacre "destroyed the foundations on which the State of Israel was founded." Plus, CNN's Gustavo Valdes reports on the administration's deportation of Emmy-award winning journalist, Mario Guevara, who was arrested by ICE in June after live-streaming coverage of a "No Kings" protest. Also on the show, former Israeli hostage Nili Margalit recounts her horrendous experience in the tunnels of Gaza during Hamas captivity. Christiane also speaks with Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief, Wael al-Dahdouh who became the face of what journalists like himself have had to endure covering the carnage in Gaza. And as the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded this week, from her archives, Christiane revisits the story of Shirin Ebadi, the first Muslim woman and Iranian to win, and the extraordinary courage behind her fight for human rights. Air date: October 11th, 2025 Guests: Oliver Mcternan, Yossi Beilin, Hussein Agha,  Nir Hasson Wael al-Dahdouh Learn more about your ad choices.

Watch FORWARD THINKING (2025) NowI'm not sure if the pod has ever gotten a bigger honor than what Antonio Harper & Abby Burton gave it in this episode — sure, they said, listeners can watch our short, currently on its festival run. FORWARD THINKING (2025) is a “surreal short film about a young black man who is attempting to trademark his likeness in the event that he's murdered by the police.” And to me, that sells it short. It's a film about race that goes further than any other film I've seen in a way that makes you think about what you saw so much you'll watch it again, all to make you smile once again with the amazing closing scene. Go watch FORWARD THINKING, go watch it again, and come back and hear this fantastic conversation with an epic filmmaking duo from Cleveland. In this episode, we talk abouthow they got started in filmmaking;what they would recommend in regards to working as a team;the ideas that motivated FORWARD THINKING (2025);How the film goes further than usual on the topic of race — was there pushback for being so bold?;the amazing music for the film — the Cleveland connection got it from Chip Tha Ripper;the importance of a final shot in a short film;how to discuss race, disability, gender in filmmaking and finding the balance in between highlighting and ignoring those areas;the Black ecosystem of film and whether it's represented well in the larger film festival/independent film scene;the advantages of subtlety and how it allows filmmakers to go further than if they were blatantly talking about a topic;The amazingness of Cleveland for independent film;what's next for them — Abby saves them for giving away important information!Abby's Indie Film Highlight: TALK (2025) dir. by Jessica Perlman; RENEGADES - Judy-Lynn del Rey dir. by Jeremy HsingMemorable Quotes:“Don't be a Dwayne. Practice cultural appreciation, not cultural appropriation.”“ Do I see myself wanting to get up at 4:00 AM to run suicides or get up at 4:00 AM for a call?”“The music just ended up being that Cleveland luck”“ Disability and disabled filmmakers are just that, they're just more filmmakers and they need to have their stories told. They need to have the opportunity to show what they can do. And, yes, it's a very vulnerable thing to come out and talk about it when it's not as accepted in the industry.”The approach to race “ should be a lot like what Abby and I did with FORWARD THINKING” “What I would hope to see is, especially in the in industry, is just having more people of color and underrepresented actors in roles that aren't necessarily traditionally tailored for that group.”Links:Follow Abby On InstagramFollow Antonio On InstagramSubscribe To West 10G Productions On YouTubeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

The Holler hangs out with Patrick Newton, Chair of the North Carolina Forward Party, to dive into the role of third parties in American democracy. We unpack the arguments both for and against third-party movements, explore what North Carolina voters could gain from having the Forward Party on the ballot, and examine how alternative parties can shift political conversations—even without winning elections. Patrick also shares why putting data above ideology is crucial for building effective policies and moving beyond partisan gridlock. Whether you're skeptical of third parties or searching for new political pathways, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at what “moving forward” might really mean.

I'm excited to be joined by Terrell Miller, co-founder of Cattlesoft and the force behind CattleMax, one of the most trusted software platforms in the cattle industry. What started as a student project between him and his wife in 1999 has grown into a suite of rancher-focused tools used across the country and internationally.  In this episode, Terrell shares the humble beginnings of CattleMax, how he mailed out software CDs before laptops were common, and what it's taken to earn the trust of ranchers over 25+ years. We dive into how smartphone adoption shifted the ag tech landscape, where AI is headed in the livestock industry, and why genomic testing is becoming a game-changer for commercial producers. We also talk about the entire Cattlesoft ecosystem: CattleTags, CattleScales, CattleDNA, and the popular Ranching.com newsletter, and why they've remained committed to customer choice, compatibility, and helping producers manage records their way. Terrell's down-to-earth leadership style, combined with his passion for technology and cattle, makes this a conversation full of insight and inspiration.

In this episode of PivotMe, April gets real about the power of the stories we tell ourselves—and how retelling old hurts is keeping us stuck. Whether it's a bad business deal, a job you didn't get, or a personal betrayal, continuously rehashing that pain gives it more power than it deserves.

Donald Trump's attempt earlier this week to freeze all federal aid triggered chaos and confusion.
