Podcasts about Framing

Exploring the lives of three Jewish doctors. Living in very different settings, yet linked by a common thread: compassion. They left a lasting mark on medicine and Jewish history and were dedicated to the strong belief that every fragile life matters. In New York, Dr Martin Couney helped save thousands of babies. His sideshow displays were controversial, but at a time when incubator technology was widely doubted, his exhibits brought life-saving technology into the public eye. Dr Mary Gordon was born in Lithuania and her trailblazing career as a pioneering female physician who was deeply connected to Jewish life, allowed her to carry her medical calling into some of the hardest moments of the twentieth century, in Palestine, in detention camps in Cyprus and through world wars. Dr Shlomo Adler's reputation in London as a beloved doctor and trusted medical confidant to Gedolim and Torah leaders as well as to thousands of patients, rested on his complete commitment to care, innovation and halacha. We also hear from his son Dr Yossi Adler - who has continued a 3 generational family legacy - about AI and other issues confronting medicine today   Timestamps: - **0:00:00 – 0:01:13** – Podcast intro, series context (Medicine Part 2), and mention of guests (Rabbi Tatz & Dr. Yossi Adler) - **0:01:13 – 0:02:16** – Introduction of Mary Gordon;

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: We continue to hear from people on if you should frame or wear/use signed jerseys and memorabilia. Has there ever been a year where the Stanley Cup Finals and the NBA Finals have been this compelling? Nine years ago, today, the Penguins won their fifth Stanley Cup in Nashville. Vince Lombardi was born on this date in 1913. Joe Montana was born on this day in 1956.

In dieser Folge tauche ich gemeinsam mit Michel Reimon tief in die Kunst der systemischen Kommunikation ein. Wir sprechen darüber, wie starke Signale gesendet werden, was Nudging und Framing wirklich bewirken und warum ehrliche Kommunikation oft komplexer ist, als sie scheint. Michel teilt seine Erfahrungen aus der Spitzenpolitik, erklärt, wie kognitive Entscheidungsmodelle funktionieren und wie sie sich auf Führungs- und Coachingprozesse übertragen lassen. Du erfährst, warum Wiederholung mächtiger ist als perfekte Erklärungen und wie Verlustvermeidung unser Kommunikationsverhalten beeinflusst. Lass dich inspirieren, Kommunikation neu zu denken – für mehr Wirkung, Klarheit und langfristigen Erfolg.

Diese Live-Aufzeichnung bringt ein Podium zusammen, das unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnte – und gerade deshalb so gut funktioniert: Dr. Till Steffen (MdB, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), Dr. Martin Plum (MdB, CDU/CSU) und Leonora Holling (Präsidentin der RAK Düsseldorf und BRAK-Schatzmeisterin) diskutieren über nichts Geringeres als den Zustand unseres Rechtsstaats – und das Vertrauen in ihn. Ausgangspunkt ist ein Vorschlag mit Sprengkraft: ein neuer Art. 19 Abs. 5 GG, der den Anspruch auf anwaltlichen Beistand ausdrücklich im Grundgesetz verankern soll. Symbolpolitik oder notwendige Absicherung? Schnell wird klar: Hinter der Idee steckt kein Pathos, sondern der Versuch, ein zentrales Fundament des Rechtsstaats in angespannten Zeiten resilienter zu machen. Die Diskussion widmet sich aber auch einer Frage, die weit über diesen BRAK-Vorschlag hinausgeht: Warum bröckelt das Vertrauen in den Rechtsstaat? Welche Rolle spielen politische Rhetorik, Social Media und mediale Verkürzung? Und wie viel „Wumms“, Framing und Zuspitzung verträgt eine sachliche rechtspolitische Debatte überhaupt? Wir suchen nach Ursachen für die Vertrauenskrise – von algorithmisch verstärkter Empörung bis hin zu politischen Narrativen, die Justiz und Anwaltschaft diskreditieren. Wie viel Zuspitzung vertragen demokratische Auseinandersetzungen und wo beginnen sie, dem System zu schaden? Wo könnte an ansetzen, um das Vertrauen wieder zu stärken? Schnellere Verfahren, bessere Kommunikation, mehr Transparenz? Eine wichtige, pointierte und stellenweise überraschend einvernehmliche Debatte über Sachlichkeit, Kompromissbereitschaft und Haltung – und darüber, warum weniger Pathos manchmal die stärkste Botschaft ist.

Guided Question How should believers respond when Scripture challenges modern cultural assumptions about gender roles, authority, and visible expressions of faith? Summary In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 11:2–16, Dr. Robert Lewis addresses one of the New Testament's most debated and culturally sensitive passages: head coverings in worship. Framing the chapter as a theological “Rubik's Cube,” he carefully examines Paul's teaching on Christian tradition, authority, and God's design for order. Dr. Lewis explains that 1 Corinthians 11 discusses two traditions—head coverings and the Lord's Supper—and focuses here on the doctrine behind head coverings: the principle of headship. Drawing from the relationship between God the Father and Christ, he highlights the biblical pattern of equality in essence with distinction in function. Applying this to men and women, he argues that Paul's instruction was rooted not in temporary culture, but in creation order. Rather than promoting legalism, the message calls believers to wrestle honestly with Scripture, to understand the meaning behind tradition, and to consider how visible practices can reflect spiritual realities. The ultimate aim is harmony, humility, and faithfulness to God's design within the church. Outline I. Christian Tradition and Context (1 Corinthians 11:2, 17–34) Two traditions addressed: head coverings and the Lord's Supper The importance of understanding the meaning behind church practices II. The Principle of Headship (1 Corinthians 11:3) God → Christ → Man → Woman Equality in essence, distinction in function Order as part of God's design III. Head Coverings in Worship (1 Corinthians 11:4–6) Worn during public prayer and prophecy A visible symbol of authority and distinction IV. Rooted in Creation (1 Corinthians 11:7–12; Genesis 2) Creation order as the foundation Mutual dependence “in the Lord” V. Nature and Symbolism (1 Corinthians 11:13–16) Hair length as a natural distinction Head covering as a spiritual symbol Affirmed as apostolic practice among the churches Key Takeaways Christian traditions are meant to communicate theological truth. Biblical headship reflects order, not inequality. Equality of worth does not eliminate functional distinction. Visible practices can teach and reinforce spiritual realities. Scripture must be wrestled with, not ignored. Cultural shifts do not automatically nullify biblical principles. Faithfulness to God's design requires humility and courage. Scripture References 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 — Head coverings reflect divine order in worship. 1 Corinthians 11:3 — The order of headship is established. John 5:30 — Jesus submits to the Father's will. John 6:38 — Christ fulfills the Father's purpose. Philippians 2:6–11 — Equal with God, Christ humbles Himself. Colossians 2:9 — Christ possesses full deity. 1 Peter 2:23 — Jesus models trusting submission. Genesis 2 — Creation establishes male–female order. 1 Corinthians 11:7–9 — Creation order shapes distinct roles. 1 Corinthians 11:11–12 — Men and women are mutually dependent. 1 Peter 3:7 — Husband and wife are fellow heirs. 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 — Worship must reflect reverence and order. 1 Corinthians 14 — Corporate worship requires structure and clarity.

Newly surfaced reporting that Donald Trump allegedly told Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter after Jeffrey Epstein's first arrest that “everyone knew” what Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were has triggered a predictable attempt to recast him as a whistleblower. But the timing undercuts that narrative. A whistleblower acts before or during the commission of crimes, not after an arrest has already made the conduct public. A post-arrest phone call acknowledging what was widely known does not constitute risk, exposure, or meaningful accountability; it looks more like reputational positioning once the scandal was unavoidable. Framing this as bravery ignores the central issue: the statement suggests awareness, not ignorance.That awareness collides directly with Trump's later public posture that he knew little or nothing about Epstein or Maxwell. If “everyone knew,” then claims of total ignorance become difficult to reconcile. The real vulnerability here isn't proximity alone—it's inconsistency. Political damage often stems less from association than from shifting explanations meant to manage that association. The effort to brand this episode as heroic only amplifies the contradiction, because it highlights prior knowledge while leaving prior denials intact. In a scandal defined by elite impunity and public distrust, credibility—not spin—is the currency that determines whether a narrative survives.to contact mebobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Kate Assaraf is the CEO and founder of dip sustainable, a plastic-free haircare brand she launched in 2021 that hit seven figures within 18 months without running a single paid ad. Before starting dip, she spent 20 years inside the beauty industry, long enough to see the deceptive marketing practices that eventually pushed her to build something completely different.Most DTC beauty brands launch with paid social, influencer seeding, and a race to acquire customers fast. Kate did the opposite. She cold-called refill stores, traveled across the country to meet sustainable retailers face to face, and built distribution through brick-and-mortar before she ever thought about digital advertising. Today, dip is carried in all 50 states and has sold over 300,000 bars by word of mouth alone.The conversation covers why Kate chose physical retail over digital-first, how she thinks about authentic customer marketing in a category overrun by sponsored content and AI-generated testimonials, and why she built her own factory after her contract manufacturer went bankrupt. That last decision, vertically integrating manufacturing and fulfillment under one roof, turned out to be the most consequential call she made as a founder.Kate also takes on the sustainability conversation directly, pushing back on the moralizing that she believes drives people away from the movement rather than toward it. Her version of sustainability is inclusive, economics-driven, and grounded in saving customers money, not lecturing them. She explains why the dip conditioner bar, at $32 and lasting close to a year, is a stronger pitch than the environmental argument alone.Founders in CPG, beauty, and retail will come away with a rare perspective: what it actually looks like to build a consumer brand slowly, deliberately, and without the typical playbook.Website: https://www.vimmi.netEmail us: info@vimmi.netPodcast website: https://vimmi.net/commerce-untold/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VimmiVideoCommerce/featuredGuest: Kate Assaraf, CEO & Founder, dip sustainableKate Assaraf's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-assaraf-b25a741a7dip sustainable: https://dipalready.comWatch the full Youtube video here:https://youtu.be/c9hCsejvcX8Key Takeaways:• Seven figures in 18 months, zero paid ads. If the product solves a real problem and you understand the customer from the inside, distribution follows• Real paying customers outperform influencers in haircare and skincare because results are too easy to fake• Moralizing drives people away from sustainability. Framing it as inclusive and economically smart converts more people than shame ever will• The $32 conditioner bar saves customers up to $500 a year. The environmental pitch is secondary to the financial one• Gifting product builds a hollow first wave. Real retention only comes from people who spent their own money• When her contract manufacturer went bankrupt, Kate built her own factory. It removed 3PL costs, protected the formula, and became the best decision she ever made• Returns largely end up in landfills.

The Future Framing Initiative is the industry's blueprint for building more homes, faster, using modern methods of construction and lightweight timber framing. In Episode 42, we speak with two people who understand what it takes to move an industry forward. Ian Tyson spent a decade as CEO of Timberlink Australia & New Zealand from its formation in 2013 to his retirement in 2023, transforming a traditional structural timber manufacturer into an engineered timber and construction solutions leader, and serving the broader sector through the AFPA Board and as Chair of the Softwood Manufacturing Chamber. He knows what progress looks like, and what it costs. Kylan Low is a structural engineer whose career has been dedicated to advancing timber construction in Australia across design, research, mass timber systems, prefabrication, and structural standards. He's working at the coalface of what comes next. Together, they make the case for why timber framing's best days are still ahead. #WoodChat #Timber #FFI #HousingCrisis #MassTimber #Construction #ForestProducts

We're adding one more episode to our AI, Workplace and Culture series. Dr. Wendy Smith has spent her career studying paradox and it turns out that's exactly the lens we need for AI right now.We opened the conversation with a Threads post from @samanthahoilett.writes: "It's so hard to talk about AI because the people who love it don't wanna talk about its limitations and harms...and the people who hate it don't wanna talk about its merits and benefits. I'm truly somewhere in the middle and it's tough out here, especially in a world/internet that demands we pick a side." Wendy had a lot to say to that.What We Talked AboutWendy walked us through why we default to either/or thinking in the first place. She made the case that the invitation isn't to find the middle ground or compromise, but to actually hold both things at once and see what becomes possible.We dug into what that looks like in practice for leaders navigating AI right now: how to surface tension rather than suppress it, how to be transparent about your process when you don't have all the answers, and why asking questions out loud actually builds more trust with your team than projecting false certainty.Wendy also introduced the tightrope walker as a metaphor. Both/And thinking doesn't mean perfect integration at every moment. It means making consistent micro-shifts so you never overextend so far in one direction that you lose the other. Key TakeawaysYou don't have to pick a side on AI. The pressure to have a clear point of view comes largely from fear of uncertainty — and that fear is what drives either/or thinking in the first place.Framing tension as neutral, not threatening, is a leadership skill. What you surface, you can work with. What you suppress becomes a problem.The tightrope walker is never fully balanced. They're always balancing.Both small experiments and formal power matter. Knowledge, networks, and reliability are all sources of influence available to leaders at every level right now.About Wendy SmithWendy Smith is the Dana J. Johnson Professor of Management at the University of Delaware's Lerner College of Business and Economics. She is a recent recipient of the Francis Alison Award, the University of Delaware's highest faculty honor, awarded annually to the faculty member who best embodies the ideal of scholar and teacher. As a leading expert in Paradox Thinking, her work helps leaders and organizations thrive by embracing competing demands and navigating complexity effectively.Her research centers on Paradox Theory, focusing on how leaders address competing forces such as innovation and existing products, social and financial goals or global and local demands by engaging a both/and approach. This work has been featured in top journals, including Academy of Management Review, Organization Science, and Harvard Business Review. She has received numerous accolades, including the Web of Science Highly Cited Research Award for seven consecutive years (2019-2025).Wendy is the co-author of Both/And Thinking: Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems (Harvard Business School Publishing, 2022) and the Oxford Handbook of Organizational Paradox (Oxford University Press, 2017).

In this solo Power House episode, Zeb Lowe delivers an overview of housing economics built specifically for the professionals working inside the industry every day. Framing the conversation around a simple idea — that housing professionals are expected to be experts without ever being formally taught how the market truly works — Zeb breaks down the core economic concepts that separate good operators from elite ones. The episode spends significant time on the psychology driving today's market, particularly the way buyers remain anchored to pandemic-era 3% mortgage rates that were never historically normal. Zeb explains why professionals who can contextualize the market (rather than simply repeat headlines) become indispensable advisors to clients navigating uncertainty. He also pushes back on some of the industry's most persistent myths, including the inevitability of another 2008-style crash, the belief that buyers need 20% down, and the assumption that waiting for lower rates will automatically create better affordability. Throughout the episode, the central theme remains clear: America's housing shortage is still the defining force shaping affordability, pricing and transaction activity. Ultimately, Zeb makes the case that market fluency is no longer optional. In an environment flooded with national headlines, misinformation and economic noise, the professionals who understand local data, behavioral trends and long-term supply dynamics will be the ones clients trust most.

The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 161: AI Is Coming Fast — What Family Businesses Should Do Now with Jack Potvin   In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker is joined by AI product builder Jack Potvin for a fast-moving, practical conversation about artificial intelligence and what privately held and family businesses need to do — right now — to stay competitive. Jack built his AI foundation working on one of the world's first computer vision models for sports before the rise of large language models, and now dedicates his work to helping independent businesses harness this technology before the window closes. Chris and Jack make the case for why family businesses — historically outperformers — are at a critical inflection point: large corporations are pouring tens of billions into AI adoption, and the playing field will not stay level for those who wait. Together they explore what AI actually is, the two core value drivers of efficiency and capability expansion, where to start when your team is at zero, why governance policies matter more than most owners realize, which specific tools deliver immediate value, and what AI genuinely cannot replace — deep domain expertise, broken process diagnosis, and nuanced human judgment. They also dive into real-world case studies from a beverage manufacturer and an insurance agency that have completely transformed their operations through AI, and close with a grounded, practical framework for family business leaders ready to take their first meaningful steps.

If you work with or manage a Type 4 (or if you are a Type 4!) this one's for you. In this episode of our Starting Monday series, we're breaking down the do's and don'ts of giving feedback as an Enneagram Type 4: the Visionary. As always, the goal is simple: take these insights and put them to work by Monday.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeType 4s bring something genuinely rare to feedback conversations: real, deep empathy. They have an almost uncanny ability to see the whole person in front of them, not just their performance, but who they are. That's a gift. But like every type, the very thing that makes the 4 great at feedback can also get in the way if left unchecked.We walk through three things to do and three things to avoid when giving feedback as a Type 4, including a specific phrase you can use to open the conversation in a way that's both honest and caring.3 Things to DO as a Type 4 When Giving FeedbackLead with genuine connection. You naturally create emotional safety. Let the other person feel seen before you get into the substance of the feedback. Back up your observations with specifics. "I noticed in the last three meetings, you seemed disengaged" lands differently than "something feels off with your energy lately." You're still using your intuition, just anchoring it in something observable and actionable.Trust that honesty is kindness. Clear is kind. You may want to protect people from discomfort, but holding back the feedback they need isn't protecting them; it's withholding. You'll deliver it with care. Trust that.3 Things to AVOID as a Type 4 When Giving FeedbackLetting the emotional temperature of the room decide what gets said. If the other person seems fragile or it "doesn't feel like the right moment," the conversation can keep getting pushed. Check in with yourself — it might actually be exactly the right time.Framing everything through feelings language alone. "My sense is..." and "it felt like..." are valid, but they need to be paired with observable specifics. Without them, the feedback can be too easy to dismiss.Making it about your emotional experience rather than theirs. It's a subtle shift, but an important one. Ask yourself: whose feelings are being centered here?A Phrase to Try"I want to share something with you because I think you're capable of more , and I care too much about you and your success to stay quiet about it."Make it yours. But that spirit of "I see more in you than what's happening right now" is very much in the Type 4 wheelhouse, and it's a powerful way to open a hard conversation.Resources + Next Steps1) Have something to add? Are you a Type 4 who wants to push back on something or share what's worked for you? Or do you work with a Type 4 and want to share what you appreciate about the way they give feedback?

Philanthropy has a mindset problem, and it's harming the very communities it claims to support. But what if philanthropy shifted its perspectives to see people through their aspirations, contributions, and power instead of their challenges?Co-hosts Glen Galaich and Eric Brown sit down with Trabian Shorters, a leading social entrepreneur, founder of BMe Community, and developer of the award-winning cognitive framework Asset-Framing®. Together, they explore why Asset-Framing is far more than a communications strategy—and how it fundamentally shifts how the brain understands people, problems, and possibilities.Trabian challenges the fake rule that fear is the strongest motivator, making clear that fear may trigger an initial reaction, but it cannot move us toward justice, equity, or lasting change. From there, he reframes what philanthropy can become when it stops treating communities as problems to solve and starts investing in people as the protagonists of their own lives.

This week, Indianapolis-based fashion designer Jerry Lee Atwood tells us how he went from embroidering behind the bar at a coffee shop to seeing his looks on the red carpet.

Silicon Bites Ep341 | 2026-05-19 | We have a habit of creating weapons, figurative and literal, that can be turned to beat us, manipulate us, and shape our cognitive space, in ways that betray our own interests. Social media is one – now the playground of grifters, tyrants, kleptocrats and tech fascists. Another is the concept of ‘Good Russians'. There are no good Russians – not because there are not some Russians resisting their regime, or others that take on personal responsibility for their regime's crimes. There are some. I know many of them, and do not want to malign their efforts. There are no good Russians, because this is a horrible concept that cannot clearly be defined, and means different things to different people. It is subjective, emotive, vague and open to massive manipulation. I propose an alternative, useful versus useless Russians. Also, through brainwashing, learned helplessness, and the empathy bypass they have undergone over decade, no centuries even, there are very, very few Russians that can be called useful.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

In this episode of Tea with Dr. D, host James Q. Del Rosso delivers a solo “Spilling the Tea” segment that revisits oral isotretinoin through a longitudinal lens, connecting its early clinical foundations to present-day practice. Framing isotretinoin as a “winding road,” Dr Del Rosso reflects on its 1982 approval, early safety observations, and the evolution of risk management strategies, including the iPLEDGE program. While concerns around psychiatric effects, inflammatory bowel disease, and teratogenicity have shaped prescribing behaviors, he emphasizes that most patients tolerate therapy well when appropriately monitored. A central theme is the value of foundational knowledge. Dr Del Rosso highlights considerations that remain highly relevant, including dosing flexibility, relapse patterns, treatment duration, and importantly, the impact of absorption on outcomes. Conventional formulations require adequate dietary fat for optimal bioavailability, and suboptimal fat intake may contribute to perceived treatment failure or relapse. He also reviews evolving data on dosing strategies, noting that a range of daily doses can achieve clearance. The priority, however, is durability of response. Clinicians are encouraged to focus on cumulative exposure and to individualize therapy, extending duration or adjusting dose as needed to maintain clearance. Newer formulations, including lidose and micronized isotretinoin, may help mitigate variability in absorption and improve consistency, though access and cost remain considerations. Additional insights address relapse risk and the importance of evaluating possible underlying contributors such as androgen excess. Laboratory monitoring practices have also evolved, with a more streamlined approach focusing on key parameters like liver enzymes and triglycerides, alongside strict adherence to pregnancy prevention protocols. Ultimately, the episode reinforces that while isotretinoin prescribing has modernized in certain respects, many core principles remain unchanged. Thoughtful dosing, attention to absorption, and individualized management are essential to optimizing long-term outcomes. Tune in to the episode to revisit the clinical foundations of isotretinoin, refine your approach to dosing and duration, and learn practical strategies for improving treatment consistency and long-term acne clearance.

In a May 21, 2026, interview, South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Rom Reddy outlines his platform to overhaul state government by reducing 101 agencies to 35, eliminating state income tax, and cutting spending by $1,500 per citizen annually. Framing himself as an anti-establishment, self-funded outsider, Reddy proposes decentralizing infrastructure management and restructuring the executive branch to combat bureaucratic overreach.

James Lasdun spent years investigating the Murdaugh case for The New Yorker and then for his new book The Family Man: Blood and Betrayal in the House of Murdaugh. What he found goes deeper than anything that came out at trial — and it starts long before the night at Moselle.The night of the boat crash that killed Mallory Beach, Alex was already in damage-control mode. While his injured son Paul was ranting at hospital staff, Alex was prowling the hallways trying to get into the rooms of every passenger on that boat. Morgan Doughty — Paul's girlfriend — specifically asked nurses to keep him out. She could hear him in the hallway, saying he needed to tell her what to say. A nurse told DNR officers she had the impression Alex was trying to "orchestrate something."Lasdun dug into the first statements given that night — before Alex got to anyone — and found that Morgan originally said Connor Cook was driving when the boat crashed. That version disappeared the next day.The book also surfaces details no one has reported. A check Alex wrote to a police chief at the crime scene, backdated and unexplained. Connections to a jellyfish business with ties to convicted drug launderers. Key evidence that SLED placed in two different locations when speaking to Alex's own brother.This is Part 1 of three. The pattern was always there. The book just shows you where to look.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo coaches Dan Wentzel moments before a live call with a self-storage owner who may be open to selling a 53,000-square-foot facility through seller financing. But instead of obsessing over the numbers or trying to "close the deal," Alex shifts the focus toward something far more important: understanding the seller.   As they prepare for the conversation, Alex reinforces a foundational principle that separates average investors from great ones: focus on the seller, not the storage facility. By uncovering the owner's real motivations, goals, and timeline, Dan can structure a deal around what actually matters to them—not just what looks good on paper.   The episode also dives deep into creative financing strategy, including how to think about down payments, amortization, no-payment periods, private lenders vs equity partners, and long-term cash flow. Through real-time underwriting and deal analysis, Alex walks through how this opportunity could potentially generate six figures in annual cash flow while requiring little or no money out of pocket.   But the real breakthrough in this conversation isn't the deal structure—it's how Dan shows up. Following the previous episode's mindset reset, Alex challenges him to communicate with confidence, ask better questions, and stop approaching seller conversations from a place of need.   This episode is a masterclass in seller psychology, creative deal structuring, and the mindset required to lead conversations with confidence and clarity.   ⸻   You'll Learn How To:   Focus on seller motivation instead of getting distracted by the deal Ask better questions that uncover what sellers actually want Structure seller financing deals with stronger terms and flexibility Evaluate long-term cash flow opportunities through simple underwriting Think through equity partners vs private lender structures Show up to seller conversations with confidence and authority   ⸻   What You'll Learn in This Episode:   [0:55] Why seller conversations matter more than spreadsheets [2:33] The background of the 53,000 sq ft seller-financed opportunity [4:12] Spotting opportunity in unsophisticated storage markets [5:32] The power of three years of consistent follow-up [6:26] Why understanding seller timeline is critical [8:10] Framing questions around what the seller actually wants [9:49] Why seller financing creates major opportunity [11:20] What 100% occupancy usually signals about upside potential [12:58] Breaking down the facility revenue and asking price [14:16] Evaluating seller financing terms: down payment, interest, and amortization [16:08] Structuring no-payment periods to maximize cash flow [17:49] Calculating NOI and projected cash flow step by step [19:58] Using private lenders vs equity partners to fund deals [22:14] Why this is more of a cash flow play than an equity play [24:05] Breaking down projected cash flow over the first three years [25:58] Understanding long-term upside and exit strategy [27:05] "50% of the watermelon is better than 100% of the grape" [27:27] Preparing mentally and physically before seller conversations [27:52] Why confidence and focus matter more than perfect notes   ⸻   Who This Episode Is For:   Investors preparing for real seller conversations Listeners trying to structure creative financing deals Anyone learning how to evaluate cash flow opportunities Entrepreneurs struggling with confidence in negotiations People interested in seller financing and low-money-down acquisitions ⸻   Why You Should Listen:   Most investors spend too much time analyzing deals and not enough time understanding sellers.   This episode shows how the best opportunities come from uncovering what the seller actually wants—and then structuring a deal around it. From creative financing to confidence in communication, this conversation breaks down both the tactical and psychological side of getting deals done.   If you've ever wondered how experienced investors approach seller calls, structure financing creatively, and think through cash flow opportunities in real time, this episode gives you a front-row seat.   ⸻   Follow Alex Pardo here:   Alex Pardo Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Alex Pardo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Alex Pardo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 Alex Pardo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/   ⸻   Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

What kind of Jerusalem are we hoping to build together? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Tovah Leah Nachmani reflect on Parshat Bamidbar and the meaning of Yom Yerushalayim. Framing the Jewish journey through the wilderness as an ongoing process of growth and becoming, they explore Jerusalem not only as a city, but as a vision of connection, responsibility, and shared purpose. The conversation asks how we can hold onto hope for Jerusalem's future while creating space for difference and working toward a more connected society.

The Words That Work - How Language and Framing Change Everything in Sales Conversations What if the reason your sales conversations aren't converting has nothing to do with your offer and everything to do with your wording? In this episode of the Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch breaks down how small shifts in language can dramatically change the outcome of your sales conversations, outreach messages, and even market research. Many people believe that sales success comes down to what you're offering. But in reality, it's often about what you're asking and how you're asking it. The words you choose can either open the door to deeper conversation or shut it down before it even begins. Nikki shares practical examples from a live coaching session inside the Sales Maven Society, showing how simple adjustments in phrasing can create stronger engagement, better responses, and more productive conversations. From eliminating yes-or-no dead ends to avoiding language that triggers defensiveness or hesitation, this episode will help you refine how you communicate so your prospects feel more at ease and more inclined to move forward. If you've ever struggled with getting better responses, asking the right questions, or keeping conversations flowing naturally, this episode will give you actionable shifts you can implement immediately.       In this episode, you'll learn: Why the way you ask matters more than what you offer How yes/no questions can unintentionally shut down conversations A simple shift from "are you" to "which" that keeps people engaged Why "why" questions can create defensiveness and what to say instead How removing the word "if" can increase confidence and decision-making Practical language tweaks you can apply to sales calls, surveys, and outreach       A question to consider: Which of your current questions might be slowing down your conversations? And what would change if you adjusted just a few key words?       If this episode resonated with you, be sure to subscribe and share it with someone who's ready to strengthen their business foundation and increase their sales with intention.         Nikki invites you to join the Sales Maven Society.

Ida Susser, distinguished professor of anthropology at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center, examines the Gilets jaunes (Yellow Vests) movement in France as a volatile yet transformative response to the deepening crises of neoliberalism, democratic erosion, and social fragmentation across the West. Drawing on years of ethnographic fieldwork in Paris, Saint-Denis, and provincial France, Susser argues that the movement disrupted conventional political binaries by creating forms of solidarity that exceeded traditional distinctions between left and right. Through concepts such as “commoning” and “thresholding,” she describes how precarious workers, retirees, migrants, and politically disillusioned citizens forged provisional alliances grounded less in ideology than in shared experiences of dispossession, police violence, economic exclusion, and social abandonment. Susser situates the movement within a broader historical trajectory of grassroots resistance, linking the Yellow Vests to Occupy Wall Street, the Indignados, Black Lives Matter, and earlier traditions of horizontalist organizing. She explores how the protests exposed the consequences of gentrification, rural decline, and the hollowing out of public life, while simultaneously generating new forms of mutual aid, including food collectives and neighborhood support networks during lockdown. The conversation also confronts the contradictions embedded within contemporary progressive politics, including disputes surrounding feminism, immigration, populism, and state authority, as Susser reflects on the increasingly unstable boundaries between emancipatory and reactionary movements. Framing the present moment as one marked by the resurgence of authoritarian tendencies and the normalization of state repression, she argues for the urgent construction of a new “historic bloc” capable of defending democratic space through collective struggle, civic participation, and radically inclusive visions of social justice.

In Episode 182 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we're diving into one of the most avoided—but highest converting—skills in online business: direct message strategy. If DMs make you cringe, feel awkward, or like you're about to become “that person”… this episode is going to completely reframe how you think about them.We're breaking down why relying on content alone isn't enough anymore, how buyer behavior has shifted into silent lurking, and why you often have to initiate the conversation if you want consistent sales. But don't worry—this is NOT about cold messaging strangers or blasting spammy pitches.Instead, you'll learn how to approach DMs like a human, build genuine connection, and naturally guide conversations toward sales (without forcing anything). We also unpack exactly why people ghost, how to know if someone is actually a qualified lead, and the simple flow to move from casual conversation to client—without ever feeling salesy.If you've been avoiding your DMs or feel like you're “doing it wrong,” this episode will give you a practical, low-pressure approach that actually works in 2026.If you love this episode, don't forget to leave a 5-star rating and a quick review.

Today Cem Karsan and Niels Kaastrup-Larsen examine a market environment where politics, geopolitics and liquidity are becoming harder to separate. Cem argues that recent market strength is not just a reaction to better news, but part of a broader effort to manage risk, support collateral values and prepare for deeper geopolitical stress. From rising military spending and the Strait of Hormuz to treasury demand, QIS growth, AI and the next inflation wave, this conversation is about what happens when markets stop being passive observers and become tools in a larger strategic contest.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00:01 - Introduction to Top Traders Unplugged00:00:35 - Niels and Cem reconnect and set the stage00:01:51 - Truth, narratives and the blurring of reality00:04:15 - Fed independence, politics and credibility00:07:45 - The rise of QIS and demand for alternative strategies00:12:52 - Trend following update and current market performance00:15:23 - Framing the disconnect between markets and reality00:20:09 - Liquidity, market rallies and strategic positioning00:25:08 - Are markets being actively managed00:34:51 - The real geopolitical battle and the role of China00:40:32 - What investors may be underpricing00:52:55 - Why markets can rise despite growing risks00:55:56 - Treasury demand, intervention and future policy paths00:58:04 - Inflation, debt monetization and long term outlook01:02:16 - AI, deflation and the political responseCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

What if one of the most popular health trends in the world, fasting, is actually being done wrong by millions of people? In this powerful and deeply grounded conversation, Darin sits down with world-renowned longevity expert Dr. Valter Longo to cut through the noise surrounding fasting, dieting, and modern health trends. From the dangers of prolonged fasting and skipping breakfast to the science behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet, this episode delivers a reality check rooted in decades of clinical research, not social media hype. They explore the intersection of longevity, cancer, metabolism, and modern lifestyle, unpacking why extreme protocols fail, why simplicity wins, and why aligning with your biology is the true key to a long, disease-free life.     What You'll Learn Why most fasting trends are misapplied and potentially harmful The safest and most sustainable fasting window for longevity Why skipping breakfast is linked to increased mortality risk The science behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) How fasting impacts cancer cells vs healthy cells The hidden risks of GLP-1 weight loss drugs Why "easy solutions" often lead to worse long-term outcomes The importance of circadian rhythm in metabolism The truth about protein intake and long-term health risks Why slow, consistent change beats every

My friend Jeff Strong (married father of five, grandfather, former mission president, retired senior executive consumer goods) join us to talk about his new book. Jeff introduces his book with the story of his son Cale leaving the MTC and then leaving the Church—and Jeff's desire to better understand. Jeff's book (with a forward from Steve Young) focuses on: Conducting the largest LDS focused study on disaffiliation (20,000 respondents + interviews) About 40% of those that were active in 2000 have left the church 25 years later The “four patterns” that emerge from the data—super insightful Importance of culture—needs to nourish and create belonging—and how we can do better “It isn't about lower standards; it's about more love” Framing of the tension—four areas Powerful story of reconciliation with his son Cale Jeff's book is so needed in our community—bringing the data forward and then framing it a way that gives us tools and insights to do better. I encourage everyone to read and share this book—and consider what we can do better to create the culture/belonging that Jeff's talks about in his book. Thank you Jeff for writing this book and being on the podcast. You are making a huge difference for good in our community.

Hank Hanegraaff addresses the popular claim that the present conflict in Iran is a direct fulfillment—or foreshadowing—of biblical prophecy. Some modern prophecy pundits suggest that current events point to an “Ezekiel 37 (or 38) scenario,” involving a future alliance between Iran and Russia against Israel.Hank challenges these interpretations by emphasizing the importance of historical and biblical context. He examines Matthew 24, arguing that commonly cited “rapture” passages are misunderstood when removed from their immediate setting—particularly Jesus' reference to judgment in the days of Noah and His prophecy concerning the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.Turning to the book of Ezekiel, Hank observes that the prophet lived within the sixth-century BC Babylonian exile, highlighting that Ezekiel's message was directed toward the restoration of Israel following the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. He warns against projecting these prophecies into the twenty-first century, including speculative claims linking “Rosh” with modern Russia.Throughout the episode, Hank underscores key principles of sound biblical interpretation: the necessity of historical context, the role of typology, and the unity of Scripture. He argues that the Old Testament finds its fulfillment in Christ and that the true temple is not a future structure in Jerusalem, but the living reality of Christ and His Church.Rejecting sensational end-time speculation, Hank affirms the central Christian hope: the return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, resolution of the problem of sin and Satan, and the renewal of all creation. He concludes by pointing to the vision of the new heaven and new earth in Revelation—a future grounded not in geopolitical prediction, but in the promises of God.(Timestamps below.)0:10 Is the Iran War Biblical Prophecy? — Framing the issue1:10 The “Ezekiel 38 Scenario” Explained — Iran, Russia, and modern prophecy claims2:00 Matthew 24 in Context — “One taken, one left” and the days of Noah—taken in judgment, not rapture4:35 Much Modern Prophecy Speculation Misrepresents the Entire Olivet Discourse4:55 “This Generation” and AD 70 — Jesus' prophecy about Jerusalem's destruction8:15 Why This Matters Now — Influence of Christian leaders on politics and public opinion9:25 Ezekiel in Historical Context — Babylonian exile and 6th-century BC setting13:00 Ezekiel Yearns for the Rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple within His Near Future.14:15 Not About the 21st Century — Ezekiel isn't predicting modern geopolitics15:00 The Jerusalem Temple Pointed to Jesus—the True Temple15:50 Must Interpret Ezekiel in Light of the New Testament's Teaching18:10 Historical Context of Old Testament Prophecy—renders modern prophecy speculations null and void19:55 “Rosh” is NOT Russia — Critique of a popular prophetic assumption23:30 Significance of Scriptural Synergy24:45 The Lord Jesus Will Return Bodily—to resurrect the dead and resolve the problem of sin and Satan26:40 New Heaven and New Earth28:10 Christ's Resurrection Is Our Guarantee of the New Heaven and New EarthFor further study, see The Apocalypse Code: What the Bible Really Teaches about the End Times and Why It Matters Today https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resources-the-apocalypse-code-find-out-what-the-bible-really-says-about-the-end-times-and-why-it-matters-today-ea0426/See also the many articles on biblical prophecy and eschatology at www.equip.org, including:“Apocalypse When?
