What I suspect is true for you is what I'm hearing from a lot of my clients – there's just too much noise in the world. And more and more, we want to be able to focus on the essentials of what's going to work. When we're talking advocacy, there are two essential ingredients. If you don't have those two fully dialed in, your results are going to be disappointing. You'll keep finding yourself in that place where the decisionmaker doesn't fully get what you do. And because they don't fully get what you do, and don't understand the complexity of the problem you solve, they also can't correctly value the worth of the work that you do and the transformational outcomes you create in the lives of the people you serve. So we've gotta get them to get it. That's the bottom line. Those two critical ingredients for making that happen? If either one of them is not fully dialed in, chances are they're still not going to get it. I want to help you get those two critical ingredients dialed in and working for you. To get the results you want every time you engage a decision maker. In this episode, I'm sharing:· The three reasons behind decisionmakers not “getting it” about the value of your workThe top three things you need to do with your messaging to make sure decisionmakers do “get it”Why persuasion almost never worksThe key element Nonprofits often leave out of their messaging, that is costing them a ton of influence with decisionmakersThe five core principles of successful engagementThe multiplier effect of learning a full set of messaging and engagement skillsWhy the techniques that feel most uncomfortable are the ones you should work hardest to master Ready to take your messaging and engagement skills to the next level?

Ethical Persuasion Ethical Persuasion: The Fastest Path from "Maybe" to "Yes" (Without Being Pushy) Most decisions aren't made by logic—they're made by fast, intuitive shortcuts. That's why great offers often stall: we speak to System 2 logic while the listener's System 1 is steering the wheel. In this episode, Patrick Van Der Burght—ethical persuasion expert and business partner of Dr. Robert Cialdini—shows how to align with how people actually decide using Cialdini's seven principles of influence. The result? Communication that feels natural, honest, and effective whether you're leading, selling, or simply asking for change. 7 Key Insights You Can Apply Today: Reciprocity ≠ "freebie-for-email." A true gift has no strings attached. If you require an email, it's a reward—not a gift—so it won't trigger reciprocity. Action: Offer one no-opt-in resource purely to serve. Liking > "be likable." It's more persuasive that you genuinely like them than that they like you. Action: Express authentic appreciation before making an ask. Unity creates momentum. When people feel part of a shared identity, they move faster and farther together. Action: Involve your audience, team, or clients in co-creating outcomes. Social Proof must match the buyer. People follow others like them. Action: Use case studies or testimonials that mirror your ideal client's stage or values. Authority: let others announce your credibility. Self-promotion weakens authority and liking; third-party validation strengthens both. Action: Add a professional intro or testimonial that speaks your credibility for you. Credibility lives in precision. Rounded numbers signal estimates; decimals signal truth. Action: Use exact figures—"75.4%" sounds real, "75%" sounds guessed. Loss beats gain. People act faster to avoid loss than to gain reward. Action: Reframe offers by showing what's lost through inaction. Money Learning from Patrick's Upbringing: Patrick grew up in a home where money was tight and every decision had to stretch the family's limited resources. That environment taught him that real wealth isn't about how much you have—it's about how much value you create. Instead of chasing easy wins or cutting corners, he learned to lead with integrity and influence through trust. Persuasion, used ethically, opens doors that money alone never could. It's not manipulation—it's a tool for mutual success. Key Takeaway: Ethical persuasion is the art of aligning truth with trust. When your words honor both, "yes" becomes the natural next step. Bio: Before 2000, he was a sales rep, looking after a large part of Australia, selling Scuba Diving equipment to retailers. He was frustrated with the level of time and effort he was putting in, wanted to be better at selling, but he didn't want to lie or cheat either. It was then that he discovered the work of Dr Robert Cialdini, and he has had a passion for educating others about this because he knows how much time, resources, and success they are wasting without it. Circumstances enabled him to start teaching this science to professionals with Dr Cialdini's permission since 2000. In 2023, he was invited to become a Founding Member of the Cialdini Institute and was the first Cialdini Certified Professional and Coach to be accepted in the Cialdini Institute Licensed Trainer program. Sales is other when Ethical Persuasion is first introduced, but it is not exclusively for sales. It is about creating behaviour in others and so that applies to any situation where a goal gets reached through the agreement or compliance of others. Ethical Persuasion is NOT manipulation A common mistake is to think that persuasion is making people do things they don't want to. Research shows that unethical use of persuasion science leads to long-term disaster, and ethical use leads to both short- and long-term success. This is why teams (and your audience) really embrace this way of communicating and use it. Research-based Nothing you get from him is based on Patrick's gut feelings or unfounded personal experience. What we as Cialdini Certified Trainers teach is grounded in research and scientifically sound. Also for young adults He loves sharing this with professionals, but he also has a passion to teach this to young adults before they attempt to 'convince' an employer with a predictably inefficient job application and go to an interview 'unarmed' when it comes to persuasion skills. Persuasion is a much in-demand soft skill that should be mastered early in life, rather than late in life. When the penny drops It is engraved in his mind that eye-opening feeling he got when it sank in how easy, ethical, and powerful this science is to learn and practice. To this day, he loves seeing that in the eyes of my audience. He hopes to give your audience this same experience.

At the beginning of this Thanksgiving week. I wanted to take just a few minutes to share with you my five greatest sources of gratitude right now, and a little bit about why they're so significant. We're living in a time when it feels really hard to operate from a place of gratitude. There's a lot going on that is just not good for humans. And it's hard. Nonprofit leaders in particular are feeling super stressed and under attack in a lot of ways, and we're watching attacks on members of our communities. There's a lot of really bad, scary stuff going on. In the middle of all that, it becomes much too easy to lose sight of what's good in the world. But it's the good stuff that keeps us going. It's the good stuff that gives us a reason to stay in the fight. And to show up for all the people who matter to us, and to whom we matter. Those of us who are lucky enough to work in the Nonprofit universe, a lot of us are here because we feel called to this work. Whether we're in direct service or advocacy or doing both at the same time, it's a labor of love. We do this because we care. So when we find ourselves being pulled away from awareness of that and being sucked into the vortex of doom, I think it's really important to take a step back and take a little inventory of all of the things that motivate and inspire us, that recharge us, and that keep us going and keep us sane. In this episode, I'm sharing:What I'm doing (and not doing) to stay sane in crazy timesWhy I'm seeking out people who challenge me and help me grow – and the amazing results that's creating for me and my clientsThe valuable perspective shift we can take from animalsThe unexpected advocates who are emerging as a powerful source of inspiration for meMy Thanksgiving wish for you Interested in joining my new coaching program as a Founding Member?

I want to tackle a thing that we all come in contact with on a regular basis. My clients tell me it's one of the most unsettling things that can happen in a meeting with a decisionmaker. And that's when they throw you some kind of curve ball. Maybe it's a question. Maybe it's a totally out there statement and you don't know what to do with it. It's happened to all of us probably more than once. So you know what I'm talking about. When that happens, you're caught a little bit flat-footed. You're like, well, what does that mean? Where did that come from? Why did they think that? Why did they ask that? What's going on? Oh no, I've got one chance to get this right. If I fumble around, that'll look really bad. And all this stuff is whirring through our brain as we're trying to figure out what's the best way to respond to this. It can definitely be unsettling, no question. But it doesn't have to be – if you're prepared with a set of core strategies that will work no matter what they say to you. In this episode, we share:The powerful reframe that will change your relationship with curve balls foreverHow curve ball questions (and statements) are likely to show up in both conversations with decisionmakers and live media interviews The four root causes of curveball questions and statementsWhat to do first when you get a curve ball How to handle the rare (but dreaded) “gotcha” questionThe four most common mistakes we make when responding to curve balls – and what to do instead Interested in joining my new coaching program as a Founding Member?

Teague travels to Greenville, South Carolina, for a conversation with HP Rama, Founder and Chairman of Auro Hotels. HP's journey began with just $2 in his pocket and a vision that would lead him to co-found Auro Hotels—formerly JHM Hotels—with his brothers. What started more than five decades ago as a single roadside motel evolved into a global enterprise spanning nearly 40 hotels across two countries, each anchored in intentional hospitality. A true industry visionary, HP helped shape the Asian American hotelier movement as a Founding Member of AAHOA and built Auro around a mission of purpose, collaboration, and service. Through initiatives like Auro University in Surat, India, he continues to champion learning and leadership in hospitality. In this episode, HP reflects on the values that shaped his legacy—stewardship, selflessness, and a family-first philosophy—and how those same principles continue to guide Auro's future. Plus, stay tuned for Part 2 – a continuation of HP's story, featuring his nephew, DJ Rama, President & CEO, and his grandson, Keval Rama, Senior Associate, as they lead the next chapter of Auro Hotels.

Why is it so difficult to find meaningful help for the severely mentally ill, including those exhibiting patterns of violence? And why has this question become politicized? Policy expert and practicing psychiatrist Dr. Sally Satel is not typically a fan of Donald Trump, but she agrees with the president's recent executive order on mental health policy. That order called for "shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment to restore public order." This issue, she says, should not be about politics but about getting both parties to grapple with the full dimensions of serious mental illness as it relates to public health. In this episode, we talk about what drew Sally to this field, why "harm reduction" can be a flimsy approach, and why we so desperately need more beds in psychiatric units. We also discuss last summer's horrific case in Charlotte, N.C., where a young woman was stabbed to death by a man whose mother had tried to have him committed for psychosis. Guest Bio: Sally Satel, M.D., a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a practicing psychiatrist and lecturer at the Yale University School of Medicine, examines mental health policy as well as political trends in medicine.

This podcast episode commemorates Veterans Day on November 11, 2025, by delving into the rich tapestry of football history through the lens of a remarkable figure, Bib Graves. Graves, a notable athlete, played an instrumental role in the formative years of both Alabama and Texas football, thereby establishing an enduring legacy within the sport. Our esteemed guest, Timothy P. Brown, elucidates Graves's dual contributions as a player and a prominent political figure, having served as the governor of Alabama. We explore the fascinating trajectory of Graves's life, from his athletic endeavors to his military service in World War I, and ultimately to his governorship, illustrating how his experiences intertwined with the evolution of college football. Join us as we uncover the historical significance of Bib Graves and reflect on the profound impact of his multifaceted life in American football history.The discussion is based on one of, guest Tim Brown's recent tidbits titled: Bibb Graves, Founding Member of Alabama and Texas Football Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website to see even more Positive football news! Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website. The Pigskin Daily History Dispatch presents an exploration of the life and legacy of Bib Graves, a significant yet often overlooked figure in American football history. As the episode coincides with Veterans Day, the discussion delves into Graves's multifaceted identity as a football player, attorney, and politician. Graves is notably recognized for being a founding member of both the University of Alabama and the University of Texas football programs, contributing to the development of these storied institutions. The narrative unfolds with insights from Timothy P. Brown, who recounts Graves's journey from a prominent football player at Alabama—where he participated in the inaugural Iron Bowl—to his legal studies at the University of Texas, before ultimately transferring to Yale Law School. Despite his athletic prowess during a period when football was still in its nascent stages, Graves's contributions extended far beyond the gridiron, culminating in his service as a twice-elected governor of Alabama and a military veteran of World War I, thus bridging the realms of sports, law, and public service.
This week, Ben Appel joins me to talk about his new book, Cis White Gay: The Making of a Gender Heretic, a memoir about leaving one kind of cult only to stumble into another. Raised in a rigid Christian community, Ben found refuge in the gay rights movement and, later, the Ivy League—until "allyship" started to look less like solidarity and more like a loyalty oath. We discuss • Why he chose the deliberately provocative title Cis, White, Gay — and what reactions revealed about current identity politics. • How queer "community" has become increasingly moralized, hierarchical, and policed — and what gets lost when dissent is framed as betrayal. • The difference between taste and taboo — and how aesthetic preferences are now treated as political statements. • Why "representation" has replaced excellence as the highest cultural virtue. • How literary gatekeeping operates today — from publishers and prize committees to informal online watchdogs. • The loneliness of ideological nonconformity in queer and creative circles. • The professional and social costs of questioning orthodoxy — including lost friendships, lost opportunities, and subtle blacklisting. Guest Bio: Ben Appel is a writer and commentator whose memoir, Cis White Gay, traces his path from a strict Christian sect to progressive activism—and his break with movement orthodoxy; he's written for outlets like Newsweek, UnHerd, and more, and publishes on Substack.

Your grand opening had 47 cars instead of 470. By week's end, you'd barely hit 400 total. The bank is calling, investors are nervous, and you're wondering what went wrong.Here's the truth: Grand openings don't fail because of bad locations or timing. They fail because operators start marketing AFTER they open instead of BEFORE.The Problem:❌ Most operators flip the switch on opening day and hope people show up❌ They try to create demand after opening (too late)❌ Result: 47 cars on opening day, panic by noon, deflation by closingThe Solution:✅ Build demand for 90-180 days BEFORE opening✅ Open with 5,000+ text subscribers waiting for you✅ Pre-sell 200-500 memberships before washing your first carReal Results:One OptSpot client followed this playbook:Built 8,000 text subscribers before openingPre-sold 274 memberships ($7,000 MRR on day one)Washed 600+ cars on opening day (not 47)The 3-Strategy Framework:1️⃣ Build Your Text Club (Start 6 Months Out)Launch "Join the VIP List" campaignOffer: First wash free + founding member pricingGoal: 5,000-10,000 contacts before opening2️⃣ Pre-Sell Memberships (60 Days Out)Create "Founding Members" offerExample: $24.99/month first year (vs $34.99 regular)Limit to 500 spots for exclusivity3️⃣ Create Countdown Urgency60 days out: "Founding member pricing ends soon"30 days out: "Only 50 spots left"7 days out: "Final call"Opening day: "We're open!

In this episode of Heal Here, I'm sharing why your old ways of manifesting may not be working anymore, and what shifts you need to make to align with the 5D energies.

Have you ever said your child, “Don't yell at your brother!” If so, were you yelling? What's happening in a child's body filled with angry is louder than what's going on in their brain. As Christi says in this episode, “Our body sends 10 messages to our brain for every 1 our brain sends to our body.” In other words, our body speaks louder than our brain. So why have we stopped listening to the body? What's actually going in our child's body in their anger? What's happening on our body in our anger? And why, for our children, is loving touch the most powerful way for the body to know “felt safety?”As we close out season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids, Christi answers these questions and shares why the body protects our children anytime there is a threat to their connection, belonging, safety, and dignity. She also explains how we as parents can help our kids restore felt safety and why these principles will be an integral part of KidsRQ.Time Stamps:0:00 KidsRQ and body-based tools3:00 Why the body matters for healing5:20 The tripartite God and what it means for us created in His image9:12 How the nervous system and emotions protect children17:47 Relating to our kids on earth as in heaven21:52 Moving emotion through your body25:27 Ways to learn this through Famous at Home Show Notes: Sign up for a free trial of KidsRQ! https://www.kidsrq.com Join KidsRQ at the Founding Members rate: https://www.kidsrq.com Interested in Tender & Fierce?

Send us a textPermission to grow doesn't come with a playbook—it starts when you admit what's no longer working and choose to rebuild from the inside out. We're joined by intuitive guide and entrepreneur Iva Svetliva, who shares how she swapped algorithm-chasing for resonance, turned her website into a community hub, and created “inner ceremonies” that help founders reconnect to their own wisdom.We explore the patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck—fear of visibility, people-pleasing pricing, urgency over alignment—and how Iva's co-creative approach helps clients access what's already within them. She breaks down how to choose the “easy yes,” practice body-based discernment, and redefine success beyond hustle culture.If you're craving a business that actually feels like you—clearer messaging, offers with soul, and growth without burnout—this conversation is your permission slip to follow resonance over rules.To learn more about Iva: https://mysticalheartco.group.app/about-communityThreads:https://www.threads.com/@ivaoftheheartYouTube:https://youtube.com/@ivaoftheheart?si=K4zU8ZQkxPjuUu76Ways to walk together:Inner Ceremony: Inner Self connection for healing & guidancehttps://cal.com/svetliva/inner-ceremonySpirit Baby Sanctuary: Empowered Motherhoodhttps://cal.com/svetliva/spirit-baby-sanctuaryEverBloom for Entrepreneurs: Authentic Business *Now enrolling Founding Members for EverBloom*https://mysticalheartco.group.app/plan-subscription/checkout?plan=2a37bc54-43d2-4469-9d9b-f2ab2b2c7b5aClairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

In this special episode, you will be learning from two leading powerhouses in Occupational Therapy leadership, Samia Rafeedie, Samia H. Rafeedie, OTD, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS, FAOTA (OTAC) on a state level and Arameh Anvarizadeh, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA (AOTA) on the national level. We will learn about their experiences at the AOTA Hill Day event in Washington D.C., where occupational therapy practitioners meet with legislators to advocate for the profession. Both leaders shared their motivations for participating, with Samia highlighting her roles as an OTAC president and professor at USC, while Arameh emphasized her experience as AOTA president and the importance of collective advocacy in areas like mental health, school-based services, telehealth, and Medicare. We are so fortunate to witness our state and national associations in collaboration for OT Representation on Capitol Hill. You will know exactly what I mean when you listen to this energizing episode. Samia H. Rafeedie, OTD, OTR/L, BCPR, CBIS, FAOTADr. Samia Rafeedie is the Director of the Professional Program in Occupational Therapy at the University of Southern California (USC), and professor of clinical occupational therapy.

She is the President of the Occupational Therapy Association of California, and is invested in strengthening the association by recruiting and maintaining members. Some of her favorite occupations include spending time with my family, taking trips together and going out to eat for Japanese food (our favorite!). She also LOVES volunteering for our state association. It fills her cup!Arameh Anvarizadeh, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTADr. Arameh Anvarizadeh is a Professor of Clinical Occupational Therapy and former Director of Admissions at the USC Mrs. T.H. Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy. As the architect of USC Chan's holistic admissions process, She led transformative efforts that resulted in the most diverse cohorts in the Division's history—all while preserving rigorous and effective admissions standards. Her leadership has also been pivotal in strengthening recruitment and retention strategies, creating pathway programs, and promoting inclusive pedagogy. A Founding Member and former Chair of the Coalition of Occupational Therapy Advocates for Diversity (COTAD), Dr. Anvarizadeh has been a driving force in advancing justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and anti-oppression within the occupational therapy profession. She is the visionary behind many of COTAD's cornerstone initiatives, including COTAD Chapters, the COTAD Toolkit, the Ignite Series, and the Fieldwork Task Force. Dr. Anvarizadeh made history as the youngest and the first Black and Iranian woman to serve as Vice President of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and to be inducted into the prestigious Roster of Fellows (FAOTA). She made history again with her landslide election as AOTA President, a role she officially assumed in July 2025. In addition to her current role as AOTA President, Dr. Anvarizadeh has held numerous national leadership positions, including Chair of the Credential Review and Accountability Committee (CRAC), member of the Representative Assembly Leadership Committee (RALC), member of the Governance Task Force, and liaison between the Governance and DEI Task Forces. She also served on the AOTA Special Task Force on Entry-Level Education and was a key contributor to the national dialogue on entry-level degree requirements.

An accomplished author and dynamic speaker, Dr. Anvarizadeh has presented at numerous state, national, and international conferences, delivering keynotes, lectures, and commencement addresses. She has authored multiple peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and is a contributing editor to the recently published book Occupational Identity.
