Folks are saying that Texas senate candidate James Talarico has the best chance in decades to flip a Texas senate seat blue; his opponent, Ken Paxton, was impeached by his own party in 2023 and is mired in scandals. Our hosts are less optimistic about James’ chances and have some advice for Mr. Talarico… Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers for this segment from episode #133 that aired on 05-28-26 If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ Welcome home y’all! —---------See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TSN's Craig Button kicked off today's show to break down a wild week in the hockey world. We started by getting his reaction to Stan Bowman's recent comments regarding the Kris Knoblauch firing, and looked at how Vegas handled Bruce Cassidy's situation. From there, we debated whether Craig Berube is the best option on the market and if these Oilers specifically need a more stern voice behind the bench. The coaching carousel conversation kept rolling as we shifted to John Tortorella's future in Vegas—is he a lock to stay behind the bench next season? Finally, we got Craig's take on the Vancouver Canucks' massive staff shakeup over the past week before wrapping up with his thoughts on the Eastern Conference Final.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   In the middle of the hour it was time for the boys to give some Free Advice for Damon Bunting.   Eric Macramalla capped off hour two with his thoughts on the Habs moving on to the Eastern Conference Final and shared his expectations for the upcoming series. He then touched on the debacle of a situation the Oilers have put themselves into.

Jamie McLennan joined the show to provide a deep dive into the coaching firestorm in Edmonton. "Noodles" didn't pull any punches, arguing that a change behind the bench was overdue and outlining the specific coaching profile needed to stabilize this roster. Beyond the X's and O's, the former NHL netminder broke down the ongoing crisis in the Oilers' crease and questioned if a coaching swap is enough—or if the real issues stem from the front office. We wrapped up with his pulse check on the rest of the NHL playoff bracket.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   We then gave some Free Advice for Damon Bunting. As always, the boys provided some great advice today.   Chris Morris joined the show to wrap up hour two with a comprehensive update from Edmonton Elks training camp. Chris detailed the aggressive roster overhaul from this offseason and explained why the culture being built in the locker room—and the community—feels fundamentally different this year. We also got his take on the arrival of Cody Fajardo and how the veteran QB fits into the Elks' new-look offense, plus a breakdown of the recent CFL rule changes designed to jumpstart the 2026 season.

We kick off today's show with TSN Scouting Director Craig Button, who pulls no punches regarding the state of the Oilers. Following the raw honesty of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl's year-end comments, Craig breaks down why he believes the organization has taken a massive step backward under the leadership of Stan Bowman and Jeff Jackson. We also put Kris Knoblauch under the microscope—is the bench boss officially on the hot seat? Once the dust settles in Edmonton, we head East to analyze the 'Toronto Takeover,' from the polarizing hire of John Chayka to the lottery shocker that landed the Leafs the #1 overall pick.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, we got into some Free Advice for Damon Bunting. The boys are always dishing out amazing advice.   We finished hour two off with Eric Macramalla with his thoughts on everything that has happened in Toronto over the past few days, the Habs and Sabres series and…?

In this episode, Josh and Amelie tackle the tricky situation of past clients reaching out for “quick” free advice and how financial coaches can respond professionally, ethically, and without resentment. The hosts explore liability concerns, time boundaries, client expectations, and the importance of avoiding assumptions about a client's motivations. They also share practical scripts and strategies for setting clearer expectations in future engagements.Top takeaways: A client's history matters: a positive past relationship may lower risk, while a contentious one increases liability concerns. Not responding can create more liability than providing advice — or vice versa — depending on the situation. Your time has value; if a question requires more than a quick response, you may choose to offer a paid one‑off session. When you can't responsibly answer, explain why (e.g., I don't have updated information, I have questions for you) and offer factors and questions for them to consider. Provide a path forward; some ideas include: a link to schedule a consultation or coaching session, a short‑term engagement proposal, or suggestion for an annual update. Frequent “quick question” clients may need a gentle nudge toward an ongoing or annual service model. Never assume a client's motivation — many genuinely believe their question is simple and may be reaching out simply because they trust you. Set expectations early: define what follow‑up support includes, what's out of scope, and how additional questions are handled. Avoid reinforcing the pattern by responding with “no problem, reach out anytime,” even when the question is simple. Boundaries protect both sides: responsible advice requires current information, context, and a professional structure. Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

Free advice is costing you more than you think. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down a trap that keeps smart, capable people stuck—the illusion that more free content will finally unlock success. Let's be real… You don't have an information problem. You have an execution problem. And the reason you're not executing? Because you don't have enough skin in the game. In this episode, you'll learn: Why people don't value what they don't pay for How free content creates false progress without real results Why buying mentorship collapses years into months How investing money forces immediate, high-level execution Because the truth is simple: You are always going to pay. Either with your time… Or with your money. And the people who win? They choose speed. They invest in proven systems. They follow the blueprint. They execute relentlessly. No guessing. No wasted years. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

I'm unpacking why free advice might be the very thing keeping you underpaid—and how to shift from being consumed to being invested in. In this solo episode of Woman of Influence, I'm sharing what the past few weeks have looked like here in Nashville—from navigating a historic ice storm to hosting my first in-person retreat in over two years—and how all of it led me back to a conversation I've been having repeatedly with my clients: the real cost of free advice. I take you inside the identity shift required to stop over-giving, stop confusing engagement with impact, and start being seen as a paid, trusted authority instead of a generous but invisible one. I break down why free content is a relationship, not a strategy, how it conditions your audience when you're not intentional, and why information alone never creates true transformation. I also share the moment a longtime follower told me exactly why she'd never invest in my work—and how that changed everything. If you've ever felt quietly resentful of giving so much without seeing it convert, this episode will help you reframe free content, clarify where real transformation begins, and step into leadership that's aligned, paid, and chosen.

You may think that seeking investments as an Expat in Ireland is as simple as finding the right advice. In practice, though, the conventional wisdom doesn't always mean the best results for you.In Part 2 of my conversation with Paddy Delaney of Informed Decisions, we get into some of the assumptions many people hold about investing as they move closer to retirement, particularly the idea that “de-risking” automatically means safety. Paddy explains why that conventional wisdom doesn't always stack up in practice, and why understanding volatility, time horizons, and having a proper plan matters far more than simply defaulting into a middle-of-the-road fund.We also spend time on something that comes up constantly in my work with expats: fees, transparency, and how to tell whether you're getting advice or being sold a product. We talk about commission, “free” financial plans, what questions you should be asking before you sign anything, and how easily costs can stay hidden in the background for years if you don't know where to look. This is particularly relevant if you've brought pensions or investments with you from another country and are trying to make sense of how everything fits together in Ireland.If you haven't yet, make sure you listen to Part 1 of my conversation with Paddy for all of his advice about financial planning, and to prepare you for this episode.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Challenging the “De-Risking” Myth Near Retirement: We unpack why automatically moving into lower-risk, middle-of-the-road funds as retirement approaches can actually reduce long-term outcomes, and why volatility isn't necessarily the enemy if you've planned properly.The Importance of Planning Beyond the Investment Product: This is one of those areas where having a real plan matters — we talk about thinking through “what could go wrong,” having other assets to draw on, and avoiding forced decisions at the worst possible time.Advice vs Product Sales: How to Tell the Difference: We explore the key signals that distinguish genuine financial planning from a transactional product sale, including how advisors are paid and why “free” plans are rarely free.Fees, Transparency, and Asking the Right Questions: From hidden charges to headline Annual Management Charges that don't tell the full story, we explain where fees really sit, why expats can get a nasty surprise, and the direct questions you should feel comfortable asking upfront.What Value for Money Actually Looks Like in Financial Advice: We discuss the wide spectrum of service levels in the market, what ongoing advice should include, and why paying more only makes sense if you're genuinely getting engagement, insight, and support in return.Get in touch with Paddy DelaneyWebsite: InformedDecisions.ieLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddy-delaney-qfa-rpa-apa-73778969/Podcast:

Mike Matthews had an incredibly close relationship with his Grandma Eileen. So when one of his co-workers needed some support and a sounding board, he gave them her phone number and said, 'Give my grandma a call. Trust me.' And after this co-worker did call Grandma Eileen - and had a great experience - Mike came to the realization that he needed to share her with the world. That's how - and when - Grandma Stand first started. The concept is simple: A purple stand where a Grandma waits, take a seat, ask the jumping off question and the rest just flows naturally. This is a redefining of the phrase, 'generational wealth,' where both parties who participate in these conversations experience the riches of what each other has to offer. We've been focusing on community and what Mike and Grandma Stand are doing truly nails this. Who knows - maybe you have something you'll want to ask OR maybe you'll be the grandma with all (or some) of the answers. __________________ Steve is busy at work on the third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES.

Here's a question that'll drive you absolutely crazy: How do you sell professional services without giving away everything for free? That's the burning question from Laura and Adam, attorneys who are struggling with the classic professional services dilemma. Their intake team and attorneys want to showcase their expertise by giving away everything for free during sales conversations. Meanwhile, they're also trying to figure out what kind of salesperson they need to hire to sell high-value legal services effectively. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. This is the most common trap I see professional service providers fall into, and it's bleeding them dry while their competitors who keep their mouths shut are crushing them in conversion rates. The Professor Problem: Why Being Smart Is Making You Broke Laura nailed it when she described their current approach as "professorial." They show their talents and knowledge, thinking, "How can they not want to hire us because we're so brilliant?" But here's the brutal, kick-you-in-the-gut truth: The more you teach on sales calls, the lower your closing ratio becomes. Period. No exceptions. The less information you give, the higher your closing ratio goes. This isn't just theory—it's what I've learned from years of training consultants and professional service providers. When practitioners get on sales calls, it's incredibly hard not to show all our cards or teach people during the conversation. But you're not running a free consultation. You're running a sales process. Why Information Is Your Leverage—Not Your Gift Here's what Laura and Adam's team needs to understand: Information is your leverage. Are you going to give your leverage away for free? The key is teaching your intake team how to ask questions and bring the person through a process. You're connecting with prospects, learning about them, getting them talking about their fears, helping them articulate what they want, and then building a quick value bridge to why they should sign with your firm. Then—and only then—do you ask for the commitment. When prospects start fishing for free legal advice, you shut it down fast with this exact response: "That's a really, really good question. And that's exactly why we need to get you booked with an attorney so that you can sit down with a professional who can walk you through that strategy. Let's go ahead and get you signed up." The High-Stakes Hire: What to Look for in Professional Services Salespeople When you're selling high-value services instead of products, you need a special type of salesperson. Here are the three make-or-break qualities that will determine whether your hire is a rockstar or a disaster: They Need to Be Street Smart - Not book-smart—street-smart. They need to think on their feet because you've got different types of people coming to you with different cases. If someone is used to just following a script, they're not the right person for you. High Emotional Intelligence with Outcome Drive - This is the tricky balance. They need high emotional intelligence to quickly connect with people and build relationships. But they also need enough outcome drive to ask for the commitment and not let people off the hook. You're essentially running a one-call close. A person comes in, you take them through the journey, and then you ask them to make a commitment. If they don't commit on that call, your chances of signing them as a client go down exponentially over time. The Goldilocks Zone - If you hire someone too far on the outcome-driven side, they'll be pushy schmucks who pressure people, strongarm prospects, and destroy your reputation. You'll end up with buyers' remorse and angry clients. If you hire someone too relationship-driven with too much empathy, they'll have great conversations and make wonderful friends—but they won't convert anybody into customers. You need someone who can say with conviction and confidence: "Look, everything you've told me, we're the right law firm for you. We need to go ahead and get this moving because you have a court date coming up, and we cannot afford for any more time to go by." The Assessment Solution Finding this balance isn't guesswork. There are tools like the Sales Drive assessment that can help you identify whether candidates lean too far toward relationship-building or deal-closing. It won't tell you someone is the greatest person in the world, but it will definitely tell you not to hire someone. Use assessments to eliminate people more than to bring them in. If someone scores in a place you don't want them to be, end the interview and keep moving. This is exactly what successful sales leaders do when hiring top performers. Breaking the Conditioning The biggest challenge Laura and Adam face is breaking years of conditioning. Their attorneys and intake team have been trained to give strategy sessions as a differentiating factor. Their entire team is thinking, "How can we help without giving legal strategy?" This is normal resistance. When you make changes in your organization, people are going to push back. You have to keep repeating your vision over and over until people start to believe and understand it. It's not a switch you turn on overnight—it's a process that takes months of consistent reinforcement. The Process Makes the Difference Remember: Your expertise and knowledge are what clients pay for. When you give that away for free on sales calls, you're devaluing your service and overwhelming prospects with information they can't properly contextualize. Instead, focus on understanding the problem and building trust. Get prospects to answer those five critical questions that determine whether they buy: Do I like you? Do you listen to me? Do you make me feel important? Do I trust you? Do I believe you? When you focus on these fundamentals instead of showing off your knowledge, you'll be amazed at how much your conversion rates improve. Your Action Plan If you're selling professional services: Reframe your sales conversations. You're not there to teach—you're there to identify problems and demonstrate that you're the right solution. Train your team on information control. Teach them how to acknowledge great questions while redirecting to the value of working with your firm. Invest in the right salespeople. Use assessments and role-playing to find people who can balance relationship-building with outcome drive. Prepare for resistance. Change is hard, and your team will push back. Stay committed to your vision and keep reinforcing the message. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I train my team to stop giving away free advice? A: Focus on teaching them to ask questions and guide prospects through a process rather than providing solutions. Train them to redirect strategy questions to paid consultations using the exact script provided above. Q: What qualities should I look for in a professional services salesperson? A: Look for three key traits: intelligence to think on their feet, high emotional intelligence to build relationships quickly, and outcome drive to ask for commitments without hesitation. Use assessments to find the right balance. Q: How do I balance relationship-building with closing in professional services? A: Use tools like the Sales Drive assessment to find candidates who can connect with prospects while maintaining the confidence to ask for the sale. Avoid hiring people who are too relationship-focused or too pushy. The Bottom Line Selling professional services isn't about proving how smart you are—it's about proving you understand the client's problem and can solve it effectively. Save your brilliance for after they've signed the contract and you're getting paid for your expertise. Everything else is just expensive show-and-tell that's bankrupting your firm. That's how you build a scalable professional services business. That's how you stop giving away your most valuable asset for free. And that's how you finally start converting your expertise into the revenue it deserves. Ready to master the complete sales methodology that drives results?
