In this episode, Brady sits down with Paul Frame and Hunter Bradford to break down their recent elk hunt together for Paul's long-awaited first-ever bull elk—and the wild hunt behind it. The guys dive into the logistics of hunting steep country, having Paul pass up bulls, and the decision-making that put them in position for a perfect shot on the biggest bull in the canyon. And because it's elk hunting, it didn't end there. They discuss late-night meat hauling, plus a full next-day packout of meat and antlers. If you love elk stories, tough terrain, and first-bull celebrations, this one delivers.1

When two visionaries meet, strange things can happen. So it was for Natalie Massenet, founder of upscale shopping site Net-a-Porter, and Swedish creative director and Frame founder Erik Torstensson. The high fashion power couple parlayed their early successes into venture capital projects - including Skims - and then shocked their world in August 2025 with a bombshell lawsuit from Natalie alleging all kinds of inappropriate conduct by Erik, her partner of many years. It appears that things haven't blown over so much as having been fastidiously swept under a designer rug.

Exhausted from late diagnosed autism masking as an adult? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April chats with Wendela Whitcomb Marsh (Dr. Wendy), award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and US Autism Association board member, on neurodivergent self-acceptance, workplace accommodations, and advocacy for high-masking autistic adults—especially women/girls/trans/ND folks. After 40 years in special ed/psychology, Dr. Wendy founded (and sold) Adult Autism Assessment & Services, drawing from her autistic family (late husband + 2/3 adult kids). Her Adulting While Autistic series (Independent Living, Dating, Relating, Parenting, Working While Autistic) and SWAN Church (Scripture & Worship for All Neurotypes) empower underserved voices. Key insights: Adult vs. child autism: Masking hides symptoms (e.g., routines for eye contact/socializing); exhaustion from "faking normal." Late-dx challenges: Women/trans/non-binary often missed (3-6x overlap with autism); bullying/shame leads to self-doubt. Workplace/family support: Frame needs as productivity wins (e.g., noise-canceling headphones/WFH); believe autistic voices—no "faking." Clinician tips: Read autistic authors, seek ND-affirming pros; self-ID valid if no paper needed (for disability/accommodations). Advocacy ahead: Boa constrictor squeeze (hard times)—stay safe, speak out; churches need inclusivity (SWAN as model). For autistic young adults unmasking or parents advocating, Dr. Wendy's optimism shines: "Nothing wrong with you—world's not built for you."

Refocus to Rise #5: Building Deeper Relationships Episode Summary: In the fifth installment of the Refocus to Rise series, Mark and Theron shift the focus from career and fitness to the often-overlooked pillar of success: Relationships. They discuss why the quality of your life is directly proportional to the quality of your connections, and why taking people for granted is the silent killer of happiness. From "feedback framing" to the power of a simple sticky note, this episode gives you three actionable strategies to move your relationships from transactional to transformational. Key Takeaways: The Happiness Proportion: Your level of happiness (and often your professional success) is tied to the strength of your closest relationships. Don't Blame the "Nuisance": Why viewing family or friends as obstacles to your work ("I can't do X because of the kids") is a mindset trap. The Last Pickup: A sobering reminder that there is a "last time" for everything—picking up your kids, seeing a friend—so presence is non-negotiable. Business is Relational: The best business connections aren't the ones that just pay the bills; they are the ones where you are "rowing in the same boat" together. Specific Appreciation: Why saying "Good job" is lazy, and how specific praise changes the game. 3 Immediate Actions: 1.   The 15-Minute Focus Block: Dedicate 15 minutes of tech-free, uninterrupted time to someone close to you. Ask expansive questions (not just "How was your day?") and listen without trying to fix or interrogate. 2.   Feedback Framing (The Soft Start): Replace "You always..." accusations with "I noticed..." observations. Frame conflicts as a team problem to solve ("How can we row this boat together?") rather than a personal failure. 3.   Appreciation Audits: Shift your focus to what is going right. Leave an unexpected, analog note (sticky notes work wonders!) detailing a specific thing you appreciate about that person. Resources Mentioned: Book: Ignite Results (Available on our website) Concept: The "Boat Analogy" for teamwork.

In this episode, Dr. Beth sits down with her friends Amanda (a business owner) and Stephanie (a therapist) to tackle a tough, real-world question: How do you talk about a diagnosis with someone who doesn't want one—especially when daily weed, anger outbursts, or past substance use are in the mix? Through the story of a 30-something creative with possible bipolar disorder, they unpack self-medication (the classic “upper, downer, mood-stabilizer” pattern), why partners and employers draw hard lines (“it's legal” ≠ “it's okay at work”), and how shame keeps talented people from becoming their best selves. You'll hear practical, compassionate ways to: Frame diagnosis as information, not identity Explain the bipolar spectrum (including agitated/hypomanic presentations) Explore roots vs. band-aids: trauma, lifestyle, and biology Talk with spouses about the real costs of daily use and rage cycles Use simple next steps (e.g., the MDQ screen, treatment options, boundaries) Honest, stigma-cutting, and immediately useful—for therapists, leaders managing teams, partners who are worried, and anyone wondering whether a label might actually unlock a path forward. Note: This conversation is educational and not medical advice. If you have concerns about mood or substance use, please consult a licensed professional.

Chris Frame - Cruise History The History of celebrity cruises and look at how the line was developed out of the Chandris line It was formed in the early 20th century by John Chandris who was a Greek shipping magnet and his son's Dimitri and Anthony got involved in business. They expanded the line after World War II and it was involved in the assisted passage to Australia. They then developed a Cruise Line which focused on cheap cruises but later reorganised this into the celebrity cruises that we know today - focusing on Bermuda cruising - that was instrumental in the development of many modern day cruising traits. I recently lectured on board celebrity cruises for the first time as a guest speaker and presented a lecture about the history of celebrity cruises to a packed out audience on board and also am aware that celebrity is one of the brands that dedicates shipped to the Australian market every summer and is quite popular with repeat guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ao entrar no elevador para fazer entrevistas sobre o filme “Sonhos de Trem” (Netflix), a primeira coisa que ouvi de um jornalista americano foi: “Qualquer frame do filme dá um quadro maravilhoso”. Ele não sabia que o diretor de fotografia era brasileiro, mas sem perceber, acabou me dando a manchete e resumiu exatamente o que tantos profissionais têm repetido sobre o trabalho de Adolpho Veloso.  Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles O nome de Veloso circula nas principais publicações de Hollywood, entre os favoritos na corrida ao Oscar na categoria de Melhor Fotografia. Nesta última semana, ele já apareceu na shortlist do Critics' Choice Awards, premiação da principal associação de críticos de cinema dos Estados Unidos. Veloso, que mora em Portugal e carrega o Brasil na memória e no olhar, veio a Hollywood para participar do lançamento do filme e das campanhas de premiações. E parece ainda se surpreender com essa repercussão. “É muito louco. Você nunca imagina, quando está filmando, que isso vai acontecer. Não é uma coisa que faz muito sentido, ao mesmo tempo, é tão surreal que eu prefiro nem pensar tanto. E é um ano extremamente difícil, com muito filme bom, acho que é um dos melhores anos do cinema nos últimos tempos”, contou à RFI. Ele confessa que, como muitos artistas, vive crises profundas durante o processo. “É incrível ter esse reconhecimento, principalmente pela quantidade de crises que a gente tem filmando, que você acha que nunca mais vai filmar na vida. A primeira vez que assisti esse filme no cinema, pensei: ‘Meu Deus, isso está horrível, nunca mais vou conseguir trabalho'. E ver essa reação agora, que é o completo oposto, dá forças para seguir”. Memórias e naturalismo Em “Sonhos de Trem”, dirigido por Clint Bentley e inspirado na novela de Denis Johnson, acompanhamos Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), um lenhador do início do século XX, que vive longos períodos longe da família. A atmosfera é de recordações borradas, sensações e silêncios, algo que nasceu de forma muito consciente entre Clint e Adolpho. “A gente queria muito que, ao assistir ao filme, parecesse que você estivesse vendo as memórias de alguém, quase como se encontrasse uma caixa com fotos antigas e tentasse entender a vida daquela pessoa, às vezes meio fora de ordem, e você tenta entender quem foi aquela pessoa por aquelas fotos”, explica. Um brasileiro nos anos 1920 Filmado inteiramente no estado de Washington em apenas 29 dias, um feito raro para um longa de época, o projeto exigiu uma maratona por florestas intocadas, vales, zonas devastadas e cenários naturais extremos. A natureza no filme é praticamente uma personagem. “Num filme de época, às vezes é difícil para quem o assiste se conectar, porque tudo é tão diferente. Então queríamos trazer mais realidade, mais conexão. Filmamos só com luz natural e uma câmera bem orgânica, como se você estivesse lembrando de algo que viveu”. Veloso, que nasceu em São Paulo e hoje vive em Portugal, encontrou na história de Grainier uma identificação imediata. “Quando o diretor me mandou o roteiro, pensei: essa vida é basicamente a minha. Esse cara que fica meses longe de casa, trabalhando com gente que talvez nunca mais vai ver… é assim para quem faz cinema. Voltar para casa sempre é estranho, leva dias para sentir que você pertence de novo. Tem as questões de perda, de imigração, da gente ser estrangeiro numa terra diferente, e isso tem consequências”. Olhar brasileiro encontra caminho em Hollywood A trajetória até Hollywood foi, como ele mesmo diz, “aos poucos”. Começou filmando no Brasil, trabalhou com Heitor Dhalia, assinou filmes e documentários, entre eles “On Yoga”, que chamou a atenção de Clint Bentley. Quando Bentley preparava “Jockey” (2021), buscava justamente alguém que transitasse entre ficção e documentários. Encontrou Veloso e o contactou por e-mail. Anos depois, “Sonhos de Trem” se tornaria o segundo filme da dupla. Além de estar nas previsões de Melhor Fotografia para o Oscar, a produção, que já está disponível na Netflix, aparece com possíveis indicações de Melhor Filme, Melhor Ator (possivelmente para Joel Edgerton) e Melhor Roteiro Adaptado. O Brasil que sempre volta Quando lhe pergunto se leva algo do Brasil para seus filmes, a resposta vem quase antes da pergunta terminar: “O nosso jeitinho.” Não no sentido estereotipado, mas na criatividade diante do impossível, no drible às burocracias rígidas de sets americanos. “Aqui tudo é muito engessado e a gente não está acostumado com isso. Aqui, você tem uma ideia e já ouve um não: isso custa tanto, precisa disso, daquilo. E às vezes não precisa de tudo isso. Digo, e se a gente só fizer assim? E funciona.” Reconhecimento Conto a ele que vários jornalistas comentaram comigo espontaneamente sobre a fotografia do filme, sem saber que ele era brasileiro. Veloso abre um sorriso tímido, um pouco surpreso, um pouco orgulhoso. É o tipo de reconhecimento que o Brasil inteiro deveria ouvir. E talvez ouça, quem sabe, no palco do Oscar.

YouTube tests a new custom feed just like Instagram and TikTok, Shorts AI Creation Tools get updates, and I experiment with speeding up Lauren to see if that helps. Also the Head of Instagram stops by to explain that reposting your own content to Feed really won't do much, and the team at TikTok shares some stats around using Creators to make content for brands. After the music, I do Wednesday Waffle talking about a book I read recently. Links:YouTube: Testing "Your Custom Feed" (Google Support: YouTube)YouTube: New Communities Features, Expansion of Shorts AI Creation Tools, and Handles Update! (YouTube)Instagram: Does Reposting Your Content To Feed Help? (Instagram)TikTok: The Creator Advantage: How creators drive real brand impact on TikTok (TikTok)TikTok: TikTok One - Creative Academy Videos (TikTok) Wednesday Waffle:Book: Wrong Place, Wrong Time - Gillian McAllister (Amazon) Transcript: Daniel Hill: Welcome to the Instagram stories for Wednesday, November 26th. I'm your host, Daniel Hill. There is a lot of social media news to talk about today. The YouTube team has expanded their shorts AI creation tools. The head of Instagram explains whether or not it's worth it to repost your own posts and if that'll help you get more engagement. The team at TikTok shares some data explaining why it's so important to work with creators if you're a business and how that can drive brand impact. for your business. We'll get into that along with some video guides that the TikTok team has made to help you make better content. And after all the social media news, I will do a Wednesday waffle where I talk about a topic that may or may not be related to social media. All of that and more on today's episode. But first, here's a quick word from our sponsors. Welcome back. Let's start with the YouTube news. Before we dive in, a little bit of context. I've been talking on the show recently about how Instagram is going to allow you to customize what you see in your for you feed based on what you are personally interested in and you can pick which topics you're interested in, which ones you're not. Tik Tok has had that for a long time. There are sliders that you can move to indicate which kinds of content you want to see more or less of. And they recently added the ability to adjust what level of AI content you see in your feed. Now, YouTube is copying that and they shared yesterday that they are testing something called your custom feed. They say, quote, "We're experimenting presenting with a new feature called your custom feed that lets you customize recommendations for your home feed. If you are part of the experiment, you will see your custom feed appear on your homepage as a chip beside home. When you click into it, you can update your existing home feed recommendations by entering a single prompt. This feature is designed to give you an easy to use way to have more control over your suggested content. If you see it, check it out and share your feedback". I will link to this post in the show notes so that you can see it for yourself. All right, moving on. Since we're already talking about YouTube news, let's move to Lauren from the YouTube Creator Insider team with her updates talking about how the Shorts AI creation tools are being expanded and an update to the way YouTube handles channel names versus handles. Here's the clip from Lauren. Uh, one quick thing before I play the clip. I was reading the feedback that I got about the show and some of you mentioned that Lauren's updates can drag on a little bit and I agree. So, I'm going to experiment with speeding up Lauren just a little bit. Hopefully, it's enough that it goes faster and you don't feel like Lauren's dragging, but you can still catch what she's saying.Lauren: What's up, insiders? I'm Lauren, a program manager working on our product team here at YouTube and the producer of Creator Insider. Up until now, channel names were used as the identifier for channels across live chat and channel memberships on main and YouTube studio. Now, a creator's handle will be shown across these services as their identifier. For moderators of live chat, you can still navigate to a user's channel by tapping on their handle. Let us know if you have any questions. In June, we talked about new AI powered shorts creation tools. If you missed the update, we'll leave more information in the description. We're happy to share that we're expanding standalone clips, green screen backgrounds, AI playground, and phototovideo to new markets around the world for creators with their YouTube language settings set to English. We're also leveling up the photo to video experience with new prompt capabilities. Now you can create a prompt from scratch, watch your memories come to life, and even add speech to give your video a voice. We're also introducing new Genai effects that transform your sketches into captivating videos powered by VO. These effects are now available globally. Additionally, speech to song and the ability to add lyrics and vocals in Dream Track are now available to creators in the US. These features will be rolling out this month and we'll keep you posted as we add new features. We're also bringing the power of Google DeepMind's V3 model to shorts, available for everyone on mobile. This upgrade from V2 lets you create videos up to 8 seconds long, previously six, now with synchronized sound effects, ambient audio, and speech. We'll leave more info below. Next, updates for communities. If you're still on the fence about enabling communities, an internal experiment in early September 2025 found that channels with YouTube communities enabled saw on average an increase in post impressions and likes on their channel.Daniel Hill: Okay, I'm going to stop it there because the rest of the update is about communities and I don't think it's very interesting. But if you do want to check out the whole post, I will link to it in the show notes so you can watch it for yourself. Hopefully the increased speed with which Lauren explained those things still let you understand what was going on and hopefully kept her a little bit more brief than usual. Okay, now let's move on to the Instagram section, the head of Instagram answered the question about whether or not reposting your content in your own feed does anything. So, you have the opportunity to share content that you've made from your feed to your story, for instance, but now you can also repost it to your feed. If you posted a piece of content and it didn't really do that well, it might be tempting to repost it to your feed so that your followers have another chance to see it. The head of Instagram explains it's not really worth it to do that. Here's the clip.Adam Mosseri: Since we launched reposts a couple months ago. I get the question a lot. Should I repost my own content? And you can. It might help a little bit on the margins, but it's not going to meaningfully change the amount of reach that you get. If you want to try and help your post go a little bit farther, I'd recommend instead going into the comments, responding to some people, liking some comments, and interacting with the people who've taken the time to actually like or comment on your post. This will help more than just reposting something that you've already posted. But I understand why people try. And this not going to hurt you to do so, but it's not going to actually help. So, I wanted to answer that question definitively once and for all. Hopefully, this helps later.Daniel Hill: So, there you have it. Not really worth a lot of time and energy. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, some information from the Tik Tok team about how creators can help to drive impact for brands and additionally some videos from the Tik Tok team helping you to make better content. Stick around. Welcome back. Let's continue with the Tik Tok news. The team at Tik Tok made a long blog post sharing some data about how much creators making content and having brands push that content can impact the business that the brand does as opposed to the brand just making content on their own or hiring a marketing company. The importance of this cannot be understated because the content comes across as more authentic. They share some stats explaining that creator ads meaning an ad that is based on a piece of content that a creator made that creator ad can drive a 70% higher click-through rate and 159% higher engagement rate than noncreator ads. Okay, so why such a big difference? Three main reasons. First, when creators are making content, they're doing it through the lens of Tik Tok culture. They're familiar with the platform, not from the perspective of trying to sell a product or service, but rather just being familiar with the community. Additionally, creators can make a lot of good content very quickly. We are all used to sitting down to come up with an idea of something that we think could potentially work, coming up with what we need in order to make that piece of content, whether it's a script, finding a location, then filming it, editing it, and publishing it, and doing that for ourselves. So, when brands are working with creators, they're tapping into this system that we are all doing all the time. Anyway, another key thing to remember is that when brands partner with creators, the Those creators have a wide variety of different voices, skill sets, things they bring to the table, all of which appeal to different people. So, it does make sense to partner with a wide variety of creators. The third reason that this is so effective is because people already follow these creators. They liked them enough to follow them. When a creator makes a piece of content about a brand or product or service and posts it to their account, it comes across more authentically because it is not coming from the advertiser's account. According to a study from the TikTok team, ads posted to a creator's account have a 59% higher engagement rate and a 16% higher 6second viewthrough rate than those that are not posted directly to the creator's account. So, it's worth it to do this. There's more stats and strategy in this blog post, which I will link to, but I also uncovered something called TikTok 1, which is a creative academy to help you make better content on TikTok. I will play a short snippet of one of the videos that I found on there so you can get an idea of what this is all about.Unknown Speaker (from TikTok 1 Clip): This video is about TikTok creative best practices. Good creative is imperative for successful ad campaign. There are some essential guidelines you must follow in order to set yourself up for that success. These include video duration, design elements, safe zone, and video formats. Today we're talking creative codes. Six secrets to help you decode TikTok's creative potential. And what better place to start then code number one Tik Tok first. So when we say TikTok first, what do we mean? Going TikTok first means creating natural feeling TikTok content that's authentic to the platform. Feeling authentic to the for you page is as simple as taking cues from the content you love. How can you make content that feels organic to the for you page? Here are some quick tips that will help you look right at home on TikTok. Start simple. From filming at a professional shoot to filming on your phone, you can execute your ideas in the way that works for you. Go 9x6. This is a platform where vertical video thrives. Frame your content accordingly. Shoot high-res. Whether you use high-end software or smartphone technology, create video content that is clear and crisp.Daniel Hill: Okay, I'm going to stop the clip there. You get the idea. If you want to watch the rest of this video series, which I actually think is very good, I will link to it in the show notes. Be sure to check it out for yourself. That is it for today's news. If you would like to hear me do Wednesday waffle, which is where I talk about another topic that may or may not be related to social media. Stick around after the music.Music: Instagram news got you covered. Sometimes even TikTok relevant platforms in the metaverse. Ahead of the wave without a break or a pit stops waiting for Zuckerberg to give me the big job. Use trademarks and logos with instance permission. Of course, if you like the show and you gain some good info, maybe leave a review. It's a type of applause. Just drop me a message if you want to collab. If you got some good content or you want to run ads at @DanielHillMedia is where I am. TikTok, Facebook, at Instagram. All right, thank you for sticking around to hear me talk about something else. And now I would like to recommend a book. I don't think I did this previously on the show. I would like to recommend a book called Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. I would categorize this book as a thriller/time travel book. I don't like to normally recommend books because everyone likes different things in books. However, this book is excellent. I spend a lot of time reading books. I like to read a few minutes every night before I go to sleep, and this one really had me hooked. I was having trouble forcing myself actually to go to sleep. The ending ties together perfectly. I will link to this book in the show notes. Definitely check it out. Wrong place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. If you like time travel, if you like science fiction, if you like thrillers, if you like any books that are a bit mysterious or suspenseful, I think you will like this. Find the link to the book in the show notes. And thank you for listening to me talk about something else other than social media for a minute.Sign Up for The Weekly Email Roundup: NewsletterLeave a Review: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danielhillmedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Drs. Lewiecki and Camacho discuss sequential therapy in osteoporosis as a critical strategy that involves strategically switching between anabolic and antiresorptive treatments to maximize bone mineral density and reduce fracture risk. By carefully transitioning between different drug classes (eg, romosozumab; teriparatide; denosumab), clinicians can optimize patient outcomes and address the evolving needs of individuals with bone health challenges.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with singer-songwriter and guitarist Andrew Daly Frank. Andrew is an inimitable songwriting voice and virtuosic guitarist, and his debut album, You're No Island — the focus of this episode — is a gorgeous, affecting piece of art that is pacifying and vitalizing.

Send us a textOutrage is easy. Unity is a choice—and a craft. I sat down with Adam Mizel, co-founder of Us United, to map out how everyday people can shift our culture from division to respect without waiting on politicians or viral headlines. Adam shares the origin story sparked by Sheriff Chris Swanson's powerful decision during the George Floyd protests to remove his riot gear and walk with the crowd in Flint. That moment reframed what leadership can look like: disarm with respect, listen to lived experience, and turn down the temperature before it spikes.We get practical about building unity as a brand and a habit. Adam breaks down why symbols matter—purple hats, a clear logo, visible rituals—because division already has its own marketing machine. He offers a field-tested playbook from a cross-country listening tour: trade arguments for personal stories, listen to understand, and step back when respect drops. We explore how sports, music, food, and even our dogs create instant common ground, and why a stadium of strangers can model the collaboration our politics often lacks.The episode also introduces National Unity Day, recognized on the second Saturday in December, designed to make action simple and contagious: wear purple, take the Unity Pledge, post a positive story, or call the friend or relative you cut off over politics. These small weekly acts add up, especially when shared. Hope isn't naïve here; it's a system. By making unity visible and easy to join, we give the quiet majority tools to re-engage and reset the tone in their homes, workplaces, and feeds.If you're ready to stop doomscrolling and start doing, this conversation gives you a starting line and a community. Subscribe, share this with someone across your aisle, and leave a review telling us the one unity action you'll take this week. Then grab something purple and tag us to keep the momentum going.Thanks for listening.

In these times of intense polarization we all need to find time to expand our Frame of Reference.

News reporting has got to be one of the toughest markets for a visual journalist to crack. But the whirlwind of 24/7 news cycles and the pressures of telling human stories in rural news deserts have not deterred today's guest, Keren Carrión, a photojournalist and short form video producer currently working on the NPR visuals team. Follow along as we chart Keren's evolution from stills to documentary video stories to vertical social media clips that can be absorbed in two minutes or less.

When asked about parting advice for current students she notes, "I think it's really important to have a visual voice. And the only way to find that is to keep shooting. Yeah. And I will also say meet with as many people as possible, be mentored, go to portfolio reviews figure out how to elevate that voice."   Guest: Keren Carrión Episode Timeline: 2:28: Keren's early photo experiences, pairing pictures with stories for her high school paper. 5:05: Adding video to the mix in college and how this has influenced her storytelling. 10:40: Keren's advice to college students: Seek out networking and internship opportunities. 12:17: Momenta Workshops and other non-profit mentorship programs, and how these opportunities can shape creative vision and skills. 20:20: Working with Report for America in Texas, covering under-reported stories and rural news deserts. 26:22: The evolution of news media and Keren's work at NPR to create short form videos for distribution across social media platforms. 31:12: Keren's current gear, from iPhones to Sony mirrorless cameras, for shooting vertical videos 35:32: Non-traditional news reporting and how user-generated content is now shared by larger news organizations. 38:28: Keren's future aspirations to evolve with the industry and learn new skills as platforms and audiences change. 39:56: More advice for the next generation: Keep shooting to find and elevate your visual voice.   Guest Bio: Keren Carrión is a photojournalist and a short-form video producer currently working on the NPR visuals team.

You've identified the problem. You understand the instinct gap. Now it's time to fix it.In the first two episodes of this series, we talked about why financial content isn't creating change and introduced the conative mind, the missing piece that explains why people don't take action even when they know what to do. We showed you how your natural way of taking action as a financial professional is likely very different from your clients' instincts, and how that mismatch creates friction.Today, we're giving you the solution. A three-step framework you can apply right away to your content, your coaching, and your conversations.This is the Action-Ready Framework, and it's designed to bridge the instinct gap by flipping the starting point. Instead of coaching from your instincts, you match theirs. And when you do, everything shifts.Clients feel seen and understood. They take action confidently. They ask more questions and engage more deeply. They convert and stick around because they're getting real results.In this episode, we walk through each step of the framework with practical examples you can use immediately. We show you what happens when your coaching matches your clients' natural way of taking action. And we bring it all back to what this series has been about from the start: buy-in.Because the best strategy isn't the one that looks best on paper. It's the one your client will stick with because they believe in it. Buy-in is the real metric of success.Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupRegister for How to Create Buy-In: Designing Financial Experiences That StickKey Takeaways:Start with "just enough to start" and layer in complexity. Instead of giving clients everything they need to know upfront, give them the most relevant information only and build in detail slowly as they need it.Focus on phases or outcomes, not every step. Clients need to see where they're headed, but they don't need every micro-task spelled out in advance. Leave room for feedback, flexibility, and iteration. Frame your guidance as one possible starting point and openly invite clients to modify it to fit their reality. Something not working isn't a mistake, it's valuable input.Your new motto is "less, simpler, sooner." Where your instinct might be to give more detail, more structure, more preparation, what actually gets most people moving is less, simpler, sooner.When clients feel seen and understood, they take action confidently. Honoring their instincts doesn't diminish your expertise—it amplifies it.Buy-in is the real metric of success. The more bought in someone is, the more creative they are when things get tough, the faster they take action, and the longer they stick with it.The best strategy is the one that creates the most buy-in for the client. Financial calculators don't account for buy-in, but buy-in is what determines whether clients actually execute the plan.

A few years ago, I was on a desperate search for a dining table. My favorite from my old place was a gorgeous, single-piece antique that mathematically wouldn't fit in my new home. I loved that table, and losing it felt like losing a member of the family. So I started the hunt for a replacement, a piece worthy of its memory. I found a potential candidate at a high-end furniture store: a stunning cherry table.  I ran my hand along its smooth, cool surface, picturing it loaded with platters of food, surrounded by the people I love. But then I saw the price tag. It was prohibitively expensive. My wallet slammed shut. I knew it was perfect, but I just couldn't bring myself to pay for it. I walked out, resigning myself to a life of settling. In the end, I found a mass-produced, joined-piece from a department store. And for the next six months, I was miserable. My kitchen table was just … a table. It was functional, but it had no soul. I griped about it constantly, and every time I looked at it, I was reminded of what I'd given up. Discovering Sweat Equity Finally, out of options and patience, I took the advice of an antique store owner. "Go see a woodworker," she said.  I drove to the address, a dingy, dark garage on the southside of town that smelled of sawdust and varnish. Here, in this dusty, disorganized space, I found the most beautiful tables of every shape and size imaginable. A gruff man with calloused hands appeared. I told him about my predicament and my budget. He gave me a direct response: “I can't build you a table for that price.” Just as I was giving him an obligatory thanks and turning to leave, he hit me with an unexpected question: “Are you interested in learning how to make one? It might cost you less than what I've already made.” He wasn't selling me a table. He was selling me an experience. A partnership. Becoming a Co-Creator And so, we began. He showed me the design software. We walked through different scenarios, from Christmas dinner to my kids doing their homework. We chose the wood, figured out the curves for the legs, and decided on the thickness for the top. Every line was to my specifications. I was a co-creator, not a consumer. When he finally showed me the quote for materials and his lessons, it was 30% more than the expensive showroom table. And yet, the decision was simple. I looked at the plans, the time we'd invested in the design, the conversations we had shared, and I said, "Let's build this." I picked out the perfect piece of maple. He taught me how to cut it, sand it, and shape it. How to use a router to create decorative edges. How to apply gloss for a perfect shine. And when we were done, I paid that higher price gladly—despite all its imperfections (I am not a professional carpenter.). This was my table, built with my sweat, crafted with my hands. I'd earned it. One leg was a half-inch too short.  The decorative edges I'd spent hours on didn't quite match. And the lacquer? Let's just say it had a certain, unique texture. This table was, objectively, flawed. And yet, I loved it more than any piece of furniture I had ever owned. When I brought it home, I was so proud. I invited people over just so I could show it off. Every time I looked at it, I found myself thinking how perfect it was, even with its flaws. That slightly askew table wasn't just furniture; it was a blinding flash of the obvious and a lesson in the concept called The IKEA Effect. Applying the Principle in Sales Not long after my dive into woodworking, I found myself in a similar situation with a prospect. We were selling a sales training program, and the decision-maker leveled with me in our proposal meeting: "I love what you're proposing, but your competitors are beating your price. We're on a budget." I was about to chalk the deal up to closed-lost when the memory of that woodworker's shop flashed through my mind. “How about this,” I said, "I know our price is higher, but I think we—you and I—can design something perfect for your team. What if we work together to craft a custom solution, one that covers all your needs and fits into your company culture?" He was skeptical, but he agreed. So we began our own version of a woodworking project. Instead of sawdust and maple, we worked with spreadsheets and shared documents. We spent hours in meetings, outlining their team's specific pain points, the obstacles they faced with pipeline hygiene, and the skills they were lacking. We designed a plan with the right workshops, the right coaching, and the right support for their specific problems. When I finally presented the final proposal, it included a fee that was 20% higher than the competition. But it wasn't a surprise. We had built it together, every step of the way. He saw not just a list of services, but a reflection of his own team's needs. He had invested time, effort, and insight, and had a sense of ownership. How Co-Creation Wins the Deal With our co-created plan in hand, the client happily paid our higher fee. We'd edged out the competition not because of our price, but because we had triggered The IKEA Effect. This behavioral economic principle states that people place a disproportionately higher value on things they have helped to create. Every frustrating moment, every small victory when we are building something creates what behavioral economists call "effort justification." Your brain can't accept that all that work you put in was for something ordinary, so it reframes the result as extraordinary. It's the same reason my handmade table, with its slight wobble and imperfect edges, felt more valuable to me than the flawless, expensive showroom piece. And it's exactly why that prospect was willing to pay a premium for our sales training. By involving him in crafting the solution—by making him a co-creator rather than just a buyer—we triggered the same psychological principle. He didn't just purchase a program; he helped design it. The Lesson: Ownership Matters When people build something—whether it's furniture, solutions, or relationships—they don't just create the thing itself. They create ownership. Here's how you can apply this to your own sales process: Discovery is the new co-creation. Your discovery calls shouldn't be a simple Q&A. It should be a collaborative workshop. Use tools like a shared whiteboard or a live-edited document to build the solution with your prospect in real time. Frame it as, "Let's figure this out together." Your proposal is a project plan, not the final word. Think of your proposal as the culmination of shared work, not a final document you deliver. Refer to it as "our plan" or "the solution we designed." This language reinforces the joint effort. Make it their idea. The more effort your prospect invests in the process—even just by providing a little bit of input—the more they'll value the outcome. Ask open-ended questions that require them to provide genuine insight. Say things like, "Help me understand...," or "What would the ideal outcome look like for you?" When they tell you, it's their vision, and you're helping them bring it to life. The Big Takeaway The IKEA Effect is far more than a psychological quirk; it's a strategic weapon for every salesperson who wants to stop losing on price. The truth is, your customers aren't buying a product or a service—they're buying the feeling of a win.  When you empower your prospects to become co-creators in the sales process, you don't just solve their problem; you make them the hero of their own story.  You don't need to be the low-price leader to get the business. You just need to have the courage to ask them to build a solution with you.

Tim Cook might be stepping down as CEO of Apple, while a court rules Apple must pay penalties on infringing Apple Watch patents. Trumps tariffs might be ruled invalid, which would cost the country billions. Roomba might be going bankrupt, which would kill all those robot vacuums.

Xbox's big bet for bringing PCs to the living room has officially been undercut. This week, Valve announced three (!) different pieces of hardware. First, there is the Steam Machine, which serves as the strongest competitor to consoles. While still very much a PC, the Steam Machine packs a lot of punch for a small device and could be a force if priced well. Second, a brand new VR headset in the Steam Frame. Despite Meta having massive first-party support, Valve has decided to challenge a space that many of us thought was finished growing. Third, and finally, is a Steam Controller. It's horrendous looking and makes the Duke look ergonomic. How does Valve's aggressive hardware plans disrupt Xbox and does any lingering appeal for the PC in the living room by Xbox remain? The Dukes unite and dive straight in.
