How do you build genuine trust when AI-driven automation floods our lives? In this engaging episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, I sit down with Ashley Faus, author of "Human Centred Marketing: How to Connect with Audiences in the Age of AI", to explore the irreplaceable role of authentic human connection in today's tech-heavy marketing landscape. Ashley argues that while AI can streamline content creation and amplify messaging, the core elements of trust—authenticity, empathy, and credibility—can only be forged through real human interactions. We discuss practical ways marketers can move beyond outdated funnel approaches, introducing Ashley's innovative "Content Playground" framework, designed to engage audiences dynamically rather than forcing them down a rigid path. Ashley also shares insights on her "Four Pillars of Thought Leadership," providing a clear structure for developing credible, authentic voices that stand out even in a crowded digital space. Highlighting real-world examples, Ashley demonstrates how AI often falls short in understanding nuanced human preferences and emotions, reinforcing the need for marketers to maintain strong, direct relationships with their audiences. Ultimately, she makes a compelling case for why embracing our human quirks and personal authenticity is essential for lasting audience connection in the AI era. Three Key Takeaways: • Human Connection is Irreplaceable: Despite the efficiencies AI can offer, true marketing success hinges on authentic human connection and trust—something automation simply cannot replicate. • Shift from Funnels to Playgrounds: Marketers should move away from rigid funnel-based approaches and instead adopt dynamic, audience-centric strategies, like Ashley's "Content Playground," which encourages organic exploration and engagement. • Authenticity Drives Thought Leadership: Building credibility in thought leadership requires authenticity and empathy, grounded firmly in genuine interactions and consistent personal voice, elements AI struggles to mimic convincingly. If you enjoyed Ashley's insights on human-centered marketing and building authentic trust in the age of AI, I highly recommend checking out Peter Winick's conversation with Bill Bice in Episode 157. Bill offers valuable perspectives on how data-driven content marketing and analytics can illuminate the customer journey, reinforcing Ashley's points on authenticity and meaningful audience connection. Together, these episodes provide a comprehensive view of modern marketing, blending human empathy with smart, strategic insights. Give it a listen!
This episode didn't start in my usual car studio — it started with a chaotic morning, major traffic on the M25, and me arriving 25 minutes late to speak at Accountex. But that stressful journey turned into a powerful lesson. In this episode, I share what happened, and more importantly, what it reminded me about decision-making, momentum, and why perfection is overrated. I talk about: The mindset shift that helped me go from overthinking to taking bold action Why waiting until everything is “perfect” will keep you stuck How to build momentum even when you don't have clarity Why caring what others think is holding you back more than you realise And a simple way to create accountability to follow through If you've been putting off a key decision or waiting for the ideal moment to start — this episode is your sign. You don't need to be great to start. But to be great, you have to start. --------- If you've enjoyed my podcasts, here's how you can get more value from me: Free stuff Get a free copy of my book The Four Pillars from here Watch a short 8 min video on how you can win new clients whilst you sleep here Join 1500+ accountants owners in the Profitable Accountant Free Facebook group My inner-circle Join 150+ accounting firm owners in the Profitable Accountants Community (the PAC) to get access to the tools, training and tribe to help you grow your firm - without wasting time and money doing it the hard way.

In this episode of The Product Experience podcast, we sit down with Product Consultant Joca Torres, whose work at Gympass is featured in Marty Cagan's book Transformed. Joca shares the four core principles of successful digital transformation—principles he's applied in both high-growth startups and century-old corporations.We unpack what it really takes to shift a company from a delivery mindset to a product-led culture, the traps of discovery theatre, and how empowered teams actually behave. Key takeaways— Discovery should be fast and focused. Avoid drawn-out discovery phases that confirm what you already know. Good discovery is grounded in existing insights and validated quickly.— The Four Principles of Product Culture:Deliver Early and Often – Frequent releases drive learning and responsiveness.Focus on the Problem – Avoid premature solutions. Spend time understanding what really needs solving.Deliver Results – Products are a means, not an end. Success is measured in impact, not output.Ecosystem Mindset – Recognise the full range of users and stakeholders. Product is about balancing value across them.— Transformation is behavioural, not technical. Digital tools are important, but they won't matter if people and processes don't change with them.— Executive sponsorship is essential. Cultural shifts only take hold when the leadership team actively supports and models them.— Beware of product theatre. Following the right rituals doesn't mean you're creating value. Focus on outcomes, not optics.— Empowered teams are responsible teams. True empowerment means owning the problem, the solution, and the results. It isn't for everyone.Chapters00:00 – The Problem with “Discovery”01:00 – Introducing Joca Torres02:30 – A Surprising Need for Digital Transformation04:00 – What Makes a True Digital Transformation08:00 – The Four Pillars of Change13:00 – Thinking Beyond the End User17:00 – From Feature Delivery to Outcome OwnershipOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you'll discover what it really means to live a PCOS-friendly lifestyle—and more importantly, how to design one that fits your unique needs. While the phrase "PCOS-friendly" gets thrown around a lot, it can often feel vague or even overwhelming. This episode offers a clear framework to help you stop guessing and start building a lifestyle that actually supports your body and your goals.Understanding the Foundation of a PCOS-Friendly LifestyleA PCOS-friendly lifestyle isn't about following a rigid formula or cutting out everything you enjoy. Instead, it's about giving your body the nourishment and support it needs while also making sure your lifestyle works with your real life—not against it. Whether you're dealing with shift work, family obligations, food sensitivities, or just a packed schedule, your PCOS lifestyle has to be sustainable for you.The Four Areas You Need to KnowIn this episode, you'll learn how to create that sustainable lifestyle by first understanding your PCOS root cause. This is essential for knowing which habits will actually move the needle for you. You'll also reflect on your current health goals—whether it's energy, fertility, weight loss, or something else—as well as what your current life priorities allow for. From there, it's all about taking aligned action to support your body in a way that feels doable, not overwhelming.The Four Pillars of Hormone-Friendly LivingWe will break down the four core pillars of a PCOS-friendly lifestyle: nutrition, movement, stress management, and emotional well-being. Each of these plays a crucial role in hormone balance and symptom relief. Rather than aiming for perfection, the goal is to build habits that are both effective and realistic for your daily life. You'll hear why small shifts in these areas can lead to big improvements over time.Making It Personal and SustainableThis episode also walks through how to personalize your routine without falling into the all-or-nothing trap. You'll learn how to start small, adjust as you go, and find the rhythms that feel natural and energizing. This isn't about following someone else's version of a “healthy lifestyle”—it's about creating one that supports your health while also honoring your current capacity and real-life responsibilities.Actionable Next Steps to Get StartedYou'll walk away from this episode with practical next steps, including taking the PCOS Root Cause Quiz, clarifying your main health goal, identifying your current priorities, and choosing a few simple habits to begin supporting your body today. This is the same framework I use with my own clients, and it's one that can grow with you as your life evolves.If you're ready to stop following generic advice and start creating a lifestyle that works for your hormones, your body, and your life, this episode is a must-listen.

Mike “C-Roc” welcomes health and wellness expert Amelia Phillips all the way from Sydney, Australia. Together, they dive into the concept of energy—what fuels it, why so many people feel depleted, and how to tap into a seemingly endless source of vitality. Amelia shares her personal reflection on what she's made of, revealing her life's guiding force: connected energy. She explains how this renewable, contagious energy drives her both personally and professionally, and why helping others—especially women aged 35 to 55—rediscover their own spark is her mission. The conversation moves from the spiritual and emotional aspects of energy into its physiological roots, as Amelia introduces the four pillars of functional health: metabolic health, inflammation, gut health, and hormone balance. She breaks down how inflammation, in particular, plays a stealthy but powerful role in fatigue, weight retention, and low motivation—and how reversing it can be simpler and faster than people think. With practical insights and relatable storytelling, Amelia sheds light on how small changes in diet and lifestyle can reignite the energy within, helping people not just survive but thrive. Whether you're feeling stuck in burnout or simply curious about optimizing your health, this episode offers a roadmap to reclaiming your vitality.Website-v360.health Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/_amelia_phillips/https://www.linkedin.com/in/amelia-phillips/https://open.spotify.com/show/6nPddGY0JLCoBSgoFYsivN?si=f8472160e5b44153
“If you've shied away from showing who you are because you fear that you'll lose sales: people that would not like the authentic version of you are not going to be good customers of you anyway.

In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Andrew Jackson and Niki Sims break down the four pillars of building strength and muscle, giving lifters a principle-based framework to guide their training decisions. Whether you're trying to gain size, improve performance, or stay consistent as life gets busier, these pillars—simplicity, specificity, appropriate stress, and minimum effective dose—help you filter the noise and focus on what actually works. With practical examples, coaching wisdom, and real-world insight, this episode equips you to stop program-hopping and start progressing with confidence. 1. Simple, Hard, Effective: The Core Filter for Every Lifters' Program The first pillar of building strength and muscle focuses on the triad of simple, hard, and effective training. Rather than overwhelming yourself with complex programming or unnecessary movements, choose exercises that train multiple muscle groups efficiently—like squats, deadlifts, and presses. Niki and Andrew emphasize that training should challenge your current capacity (hard), remain within reach (doable), and be directed toward clear outcomes (effective). Complexity has a place, but only when simplicity stops working. This pillar helps lifters and coaches cut through the noise and focus on doing what works—consistently. 2. The SAID Principle: Train Specifically for What You Want The second pillar is the Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands (SAID) principle. Simply put: your body adapts to what you repeatedly ask it to do. If you want bigger glutes, you need to train your glutes. If you want to throw a baseball harder, you need to train in a way that supports that exact skill or adaptation. Andrew highlights the danger of false specificity—like balancing on a BOSU ball while lifting weights—as a distraction from actual progress. Niki reminds us that trying to chase too many goals at once leads to ineffective outcomes. The SAID principle reinforces that clarity in goals should drive clarity in your training choices. 3. Minimum Effective Dose (MED): The Key to Sustainable Progress The third pillar, minimum effective dose, is about finding the least amount of stress needed to cause a positive adaptation—then riding that wave as long as it lasts. It's the opposite of “go hard or go home,” and it's a powerful strategy for lifters who want to keep progressing over months and years. Andrew reflects on how MED revolutionized his coaching by removing the pressure to overhaul programs with every stall. Niki shares how MED helps lifters avoid burnout and build confidence with small, measurable wins. This approach gives you control over your training trajectory and allows for smarter adjustments. 4. Informed Trade-Offs: Training Within Life's Constraints The fourth pillar of building strength and muscle is about making informed trade-offs within the constraints of your real life—your time, energy, equipment, money, and motivation. This is where the concept of physical freedom shines: the ability to pursue the goals that matter most to you without being enslaved by a rigid program. Andrew and Niki highlight how strength training can (and should) evolve to fit different seasons of life. Sometimes your choices are between good and better, like skiing vs. a competition; other times it's about doing what you can with limited bandwidth. When you understand your constraints and make strategic decisions, you gain the freedom to keep training and making progress—on your terms.

The Four Pillars of a Known and Trusted Brand Shep interviews Marcus Sheridan, co-founder of PriceGuide.ai, co-founder of The Question First Group, keynote speaker, and bestselling author. He talks about his new book, Endless Customers, and how brands can build trust and differentiate themselves from competitors. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: Why is building trust important in business? How to get more customers? How can businesses stand out at the beginning of the buyer's journey? Why is it important for businesses to adapt to buyers' changing behaviors and needs? How has the shift to online research influenced how businesses approach customer interactions? Top Takeaways: The more you know what your customers want, the better you can serve them. Your customers' questions help you understand what they want, including their fears and concerns. Becoming a teacher in your industry helps you establish yourself as an expert and builds trust with your audience. Using content to showcase unique aspects of a business can be a game-changer. Demonstrating processes, sharing behind-the-scenes looks, or providing valuable insights into products can capture the attention and trust of potential customers. Trust will always be critical in business. Continuously working towards being credible and trustworthy in the eyes of your customers will future-proof your business. Marcus shares The Four Pillars of a Known and Trusted Brand: Pillar #1. You've got to be willing to talk about what others in your industry aren't willing to talk about. Pillar #2. You've got to be willing to show what others in your space aren't willing to show. Pillar #3. You've got to be willing to sell in a way that nobody's willing to sell. Pillar #4. You've got to be more human in this time of AI and technology. Plus, Marcus shares actionable tips on applying the four pillars in your business to make your brand stand out. Tune in! Quote: "80% of the buyer's journey is done before they fill out that form on your website or call you. If you want to win during that period, you can't be like everyone else."

Trust is the ultimate currency in today's business landscape, and nobody understands this better than Marcus Sheridan. In this fascinating conversation, Marcus reveals how his near-business failure during the 2008 recession led him to discover powerful principles of trust-building that transformed his pool company into an industry leader and launched his career as a sought-after speaker and author.At the heart of Marcus's philosophy are what he calls the "four pillars of a known and trusted brand" - be willing to say what others won't say, show what others won't show, sell how others won't sell, and be more human than the competition. Through compelling examples like Yale Appliance publishing which brands require the most service calls and his own company's radical transparency about pricing, Marcus demonstrates how vulnerability creates trust at scale.The pride cycle emerges as a fascinating thread throughout our conversation - how pain leads to innovation, innovation leads to success, success breeds comfort, comfort kills innovation, and the cycle repeats. Breaking this cycle requires constant self-auditing and a willingness to disrupt your own business before someone else does it for you.With AI transforming entire industries seemingly overnight, Marcus delivers perhaps his most provocative challenge: businesses cannot allow personal opinions about technology to interfere with smart business decisions. Those creating a culture of AI experimentation today will appear superhuman to competitors tomorrow, offering better services at previously impossible prices.Whether you're looking to become the most trusted voice in your industry, break free from the pride cycle, or simply build a more resilient business in uncertain times, this episode offers practical wisdom you can implement immediately. As Marcus so powerfully states: "It's dumb not to dumb it down" - the goal isn't to sound smart, but to be understood.Connect with Marcus:WebsiteEndless Customers BookThanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

Today, we are covering an important topic today, but maybe not in the way you expect. I'm joined by Rachel Mulholland (aka Shug CM), a therapist whom I met on TikTok because of her incredible content around sex education for children. Today's focus is on how our lives as adults are impacted if we don't get comprehensive sex education as children. Join us for the conversation! Show Highlights: How KC's story from her teenage years illustrates the gaps that most people have in their education about sex and the fact that sex ed is NOT a one-time conversation How “purity culture” is impacting teenagers in certain places in the US in damaging ways How even most comprehensive sex ed doesn't address the pleasurable side of sex–and (for females) that the pleasure doesn't have to come from another person How sexual predators take advantage of the lack of information in sex ed from SAFE places Why parents have real fear about talking to their kids about sex ed The effects of NOT educating kids that sex and pleasure don't always go together Rachel's Four Pillars of Safe Sex: confirmation, communication, lubrication, and enthusiastic participation Why parents should be aware when their kids are ready to hear and learn–and begin at the most basic level appropriate for their age How to answer those first little-kid questions around, “Where do babies come from?” Why curiosity is a foundational part of body talk for kids–not just around sexuality How parents can work through their own feelings around sex ed with their children Why Rachel's next project is a book about body talk Resources: Connect with Rachel: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Website (coming soon!)

Send us a textI spent a decade convinced I had a "broken brain," relying on the highest dose of Adderall just to get by. But what if the biggest struggle of your life becomes your greatest strength? In this special episode, originally recorded during my conversation with Adam Metwally on his podcast 'That One Time,' I'm sharing that very personal story. I recount the 10 years on medication (from age 8 to 18), the anxiety, the feeling of being disconnected, and the pivotal moment I discovered neuroplasticity – the key that unlocked incredible academic success and helped me get off meds for good.Together with Adam, I break down the 4 Pillars that were foundational to my transformation: Sleep, Nutrition, Movement, and Mind. You'll hear the specific, actionable strategies I personally used – like optimizing light exposure for circadian rhythm, managing core body temperature for deep sleep, fueling my brain with targeted nutrition (and avoiding common pitfalls like processed foods and potential heavy metals), harnessing progressive overload training for mental resilience, and implementing powerful time and attention management techniques that allowed me to thrive without medication.Ultimately, I learned to reframe that challenging decade not as a curse, but as the "best thing that ever happened" because it led me to dedicate my life to this work. This conversation goes beyond just my story; it's about turning struggle into strength and reclaiming your power through understanding your own biology. If you're looking to enhance focus naturally, navigate the complexities of ADHD or stimulant medication, or optimize your cognitive performance by mastering the fundamentals, I encourage you to listen to this deep dive recorded on 'That One Time with Adam Metwally'.

Then, just as hope seems lost, a stranger knocks on the door and hands your family their leftover Disney passes, saving the day.
