Podcasts about Generate

In today's episode, Brian Mark and Cole Da Silva open the door to the media side of their businesses and break down exactly how they generate 200+ million views every single month across their personal brands and companies. At first glance, that number might feel unrealistic or unreachable, but the truth is this is not luck or random success. It is the result of years of backend work, testing what works, cutting what does not, studying analytics, and understanding both the algorithm and the audience. This episode is not about viral moments. It is about systems. If you want to grow anything, whether that is a personal brand, a business, or an audience from zero to millions, you need to approach it the same way you approach social media growth. By building systems, tracking performance, identifying drop offs, and making data driven decisions. Today, we help you see the bigger picture and understand how calculated growth actually works.   MY CLOTHING, CHECK OUT: https://amarokaesthetics.com/ CHECK ME OUT ON OTHER SOCIALS: IG = https://www.instagram.com/coleluisdasilva/ TIKTOK = https://www.tiktok.com/@coleluisdasilva/   WAKE UP WITH THE WOLF PODCAST: APPLE = https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wake-up-with-the-wolf/id1533545890 SPOTIFY = https://open.spotify.com/show/6cOLgWolq6mkOnvNesuTDc?si=8b3c4f153a264e9a

From media bias on deportations to election interference, surveillance, and political violence, this episode exposes the lies, double standards, and selective enforcement shaping America today.

In this podcast recorded at Buffini & Company's live event, Buffini Coaching Live, held in Las Vegas, Jan. 22, Brian Buffini shares an overview of how the real estate market has performed over the past year and what to expect in this coming year. Brian talks about why it is so important to understand and pace your business to the “seasonality of the customer.” He also stresses the importance of superior client service and why that will be one of the defining characteristics of those agents who succeed when others flee the industry. He also previews the company's reengineered year-long lead-generation program, the Blitz. This highly structured program has assets, videos, and resources designed to help agents fill their pipeline, with the goal of gaining at least one extra transaction a month. YOU WILL LEARN: Why the return to real estate's natural seasonality creates a major opportunity for prepared professionals. How the Blitz (and the Ultimate Year model) helps you generate leads, serve clients, and duplicate referrals, with the goal of leading to at least one extra transaction a month. Why agents who are committed to going the extra step for their clients will be the ones who succeed while others fleeing the industry.

When does a body of work reach completion? One answer is to end it by choice. This week in episode 356 you'll hear the reasons behind our intentional ending of the Nerd Journey Podcast. We'll rewind the clock and focus on the show's trajectory and inflection points over time just like we've done for guests, share what we learned over the course of an 8-year journey from idea to consistently released show, and discuss our favorite moments. All of our content will remain online and accessible for listeners like you to go back and enjoy. Don't miss our final call to action in this episode. Just because this body of work is complete, there is still work for all of us to do for our careers. Original Recording Date: 12-20-2025 Topics – A Purposeful Ending, Where We Started, Interview Format and Getting to Launch, The Why Behind the Ending, The Lessons We Learned, Our Favorite Moments, What to Expect from Us Moving Forward, There's More to Be Done for All of Us. 1:01 – A Purposeful Ending We'll give you the bottom line up front: this is the last episode of the Nerd Journey podcast. We still love the mission, but the time has come for us to complete this body of work. When we have interviewed guests on the show, we've talked through their career timeline and pulled out the lessons learned. Today, we're going to do it for the show itself. 1:38 – Where We Started John was working as a sales engineer at VMware and was the co-host of the VMware Community Roundtable Podcast. He loved listening to podcasts, enjoyed the medium, and wanted to find a topic for a show. At the same time Nick was in the process of joining VMware, John and Nick were discussing all the things Nick needed to know to transition into sales engineering for a technology vendor. “In that conversation, I said ‘maybe we should start a podcast.'” – John White As Nick remembers it, this happened the weekend before Nick started at VMware in December 2017 (almost exactly 8 years before this episode's recording). Nick wasn't sure what he would talk about on a podcast. This suggestion from John started the ideation period, and our launch of the show was in July 2018. John talks about some of the initial ideas for the focus of the show. At that time, VMware podcasts and blogs were a great way to interact with the greater community. Doing something like this was also a way to become what John calls “nerd famous.” By the way, no one else can use that term now (trademarked by John). We initially considered talking about VMware news and our opinions on it since we both were going to be working at VMware. Both John and Nick came from small-to-medium business IT operations and eventually became sales engineers at a technology vendor. One of the things the show could be for is to talk about that journey and help others understand it was a possibility for them as well. John and Nick recorded about 10 episodes before launching to help hit the release cadence. Nick doesn't remember why they chose a weekly release cadence but remembers the show launched while he was on vacation. John and Nick even recorded a podcast episode while Nick was on that vacation, which started a habit of Nick doing podcast work while on vacation. Because they had recorded so many episodes in advance, they were not going to be timely or points of authority on VMware technology. Both Nick and John's roles were as technical generalists on the VMware side. “The only evergreen stuff that we had was the career stuff, so that became a little bit more the focus. I think that we were still thinking…we'll just record more maybe VMware specific stuff later on…as that happens. For right now, here it is.” – John White Early episodes were very prescriptive about resumes and job interview processes at larger tech companies, for example. Nick points out that John had to carry the conversation in these early episodes because he was just learning to think about career focused topics (sort of like being new to lifting weights). But, Nick picked up a lot just from the conversations on the show. 7:50 – Interview Format and Getting to Launch Nick couldn't remember what made them bring in guests originally, but Episode 13 with Tom Delicati was our very first guest interview on the show. John feels bringing in guests was always back of mind for him, and it was what he saw happen on the VMware Community Roundtable Podcast. “We're just 2 people and we have our experience. But we can't represent that as the full breadth of all of experience. That just doesn't make any sense. So, we need to start exploring what other people's career journeys have looked like and see if we can extract some knowledge and recommendations from that.” – John White Nick doesn't remember having a prescriptive plan for interviewing guests but feels like they settled into long-form interviews as a style pretty quickly. John says this was a structure they hit upon in the beginning (talking through someone's job history). The lessons learned from career inflection points like job transitions emerged from conversations with guests. John and Nick did not know this was going to happen when they began. Nick likes being able to highlight more of one specific guest's story than otherwise could have been done if each interview was only 30 minutes with a guest. But we fully acknowledge people like different lengths of podcasts. “We wanted to tell interesting stories that had an arc: a beginning and an end and a journey in between. And we were able to find those even chopping people's long 2-hour conversations up into 2 or even 3 episodes. I think that worked for us. I don't know if it worked for everybody.” – John White “We probably spent the same time interviewing people as we would have. We just didn't interview as many as if it had been 1 episode per person.” – Nick Korte We also didn't want to release a 2-hour interview as one episode. That's a lot of editing for just one episode release. People might not realize how much time goes into editing and production even after recording an interview. At the beginning, John had to give Nick advice on the kind of microphone to get. Nick started recording with a headset and then bought the same mic as John. They would each later invest in nicer microphones as the show progressed. “I knew nothing about editing and really not that much about how to make a podcast.” – Nick Korte, on beginning as a podcaster There were a lot of things we had to figure out just to make the podcast publicly available. John had researched some of the administrative things. He knew there was a WordPress plugin that could be used to turn MP3 files of released episodes into publicly available audio feed that would be the podcast. John says there were some mental blocks and hurdles he had to get through before launching the show, highlighting the fact that it took 6 months to go from idea to publishing. He was getting overwhelmed trying to figure out the back-end production and publishing process. John thinks it was Nick who kept asking what needed to happen for us to launch, and we went with WordPress and the plugin mentioned but never changed anything…because we had no time to go back. Nick and John learned that once you start a show and get it going, you will never run out of ideas. 13:58 – The Why Behind the Ending We never ran out of ideas. In fact, we still have ideas. So why are we stopping the podcast? We ran out of time. Nick has run out of time to work on editing and production. This has been a weekly show (up until the last couple months of our run), and it takes a large time commitment each week. For guest interview episodes, the intro and outro were not recorded at the same time the interview took place. These had to be recorded before the episode was released. The show notes are not AI-generated. Nick enjoyed writing them and adding in important links and references, feeling like it allowed him to remember the episodes better and internalize the lessons within them. Nick has a teenager now with many extracurricular activities and has had a workload increase at his job. “Probably for the last year I think I've been fooling myself at how much of a toll it's been to just get an episode out each week.” – Nick Korte We even tried changing the release schedule to bi-weekly and have missed that cadence a couple of times. John ran out of time about 4 years ago and hasn't had much time since to handle podcast related tasks. John experienced a job change and new baby at that time and couldn't add anything else. He also moved at some point. John and Nick have been advancing in their own careers over time as well, which has added responsibility. John and his wife recently had a second child. He also left his job in June 2025 and has been doing a job search at the same time. Before Nick and John made this decision, Nick listened back to some previous episodes to get advice and perspective. Some of the advice that echoed the loudest came from Amy Lewis in Episode 302 – Ending with Intention: Once a Geek Whisperer with Amy Lewis (2/2). The idea of ending with intention stood out. “Rather than being spotty on our releases and not keeping our promise of how often we say we're going to get the show out, we wanted to end it with intention and say, ‘ok, this is it.'” – Nick Korte “We haven't lost the love of this task. We both want this to continue. But realistically, we can't do it. And rather than sputter and peter out and never be heard from again, we just thought we'll follow the lessons that we've learned from our bettors and do what they did. Let's be intentional about the end.” – John White 18:02 – The Lessons We Learned John learned how much we can learn from the experience of others. He had ideas and biases about how we should handle specific aspects of our career, but doing the podcast allowed him to pressure test these ideas against the experience of others. John appreciates the breadth of background and experience our collective guests have brought to the show. It made him realize there are so many different ways to do certain things. Nick learned a ton about the mechanics of podcast production. It was around Episode 113 when Nick became the editor because John needed to take a break. If you want to hear more about how this happened, check out this blog post. Nick got hooked into podcast communities and even attended a podcast conference in 2025, meeting many other people who run their own podcast. Nick learned how much salesmanship is involved in getting a guest. You have to sell someone on the idea of being on the show and what they can bring to your listeners. How easy can you make it for them to say yes? John and Nick asked guests for 1.5 – 2 hours for an interview. “If you make it easy for someone to say yes and you build the outline of questions you might ask and you tell them what your show is about and what you want to cover, they'll say yes. And they might give you more time than that…. I learned so much about different people that I never would have met otherwise. I am thankful for all the learnings of all the people who have been on the show. And I'm thankful for everything I've learned from you, John.” – Nick Korte John is grateful for the difference in skills he and Nick have and their ability to learn from one another just by co-hosting together. He likes to apply the idea of making it easy for others to say yes when he's asking something of someone at work, for example. Nick learned how to beat perfectionism weekly. Something can always be edited more or re-recorded. There was a weekly ship date. “The deadline was always there to keep me honest.” – Nick Korte Seth Godin's The Practice talks about keeping a promise to the people who follow you. Having a weekly release cadence meant we were promising to ship episodes weekly. “So, whether one person listened or a million people listened, we tried to keep that promise. And it was important to us to keep it, even if it was hard.” – Nick Korte “Having a million people listen to a specific episode or even hit the site in a specific week wasn't the goal. I think the goal was the breadth of work and making it accessible and having people be able to benefit from it.” – John White We also had to learn how to tell people about the show in a clear, succinct way. When John or Nick would join video calls for work, people would see their microphones and ask if they had a podcast. We also used generative AI in our workflow for production a little bit, even if it was not for show notes. Doing the show has dragged with it some reasons to tinker with generative AI. With John's help Nick learned how to build a Gemini prompt that would take the handwritten show notes and brainstorm titles, episode descriptions, and even create a prompt for a featured image based on the themes in the episode. John shares that we never wanted to use generative AI to take a transcript and generate an episode outline. We might lose touch with the content that way. John talks about the curse of being an audio editor. It's impossible to NOT hear issues in other audio. Nick can hear mouth noises on Zoom calls like you wouldn't believe. John says we can listen to someone else's podcast and may be able to tell who is and is not the editor based on whether they speak into the microphone or move away from it and keep talking. 25:15 – Our Favorite Moments John says it's hard to pick just one favorite moment. We got to meet some of our heroes in podcasting and other people who were “nerd famous” about their career stories. We had some great conversations with John Nicholson about how to evaluate a job offer and personal finance. Check out these for reference: Episode 224 – Tech Marketing, Interview Questions, and Executives as Wild Bears with John Nicholson (1/3) Episode 225 – Take Stock of Your Compensation with John Nicholson (2/3) Episode 226 – Negotiating Job Offers and Personal Finance Tips with John Nicholson (3/3) Having a podcast allowed us to have lengthy conversations with people who may not have otherwise had a reason to talk to us. John doesn't think asking someone out of the blue for 2 hours of time without having a podcast would have worked well. John says he has a strong recency bias, often walking away from an interview with a guest thinking it was the best one yet. Nick's favorite moments Nick remembers the first time we interviewed Mike Burkhart (in Episode 64 and Episode 65). He was having wifi issues and had to move everything into his living room floor to record the episode. John and Mike were kind enough to stay online and still do the interview. John and Nick live in different parts of the United States and have only been able to record together in person a handful of times. These times were special and rare. Nick remembers the time they recorded at VMware Explore and forgot to hit record…twice in a row! If John had to succumb to recency bias, he would pick the recent interview with Milin Desai. This set of interviews stands alone as the only time we were cold pitched a guest by someone we did not know, and it was a perfect fit. We got over 2 hours with a CEO! Episode 349 – Expand Your Curiosity: Build, Own, and Maintain Relevance with Milin Desai (1/3) Episode 350 – Scope and Upside: The Importance of Contextual Communication with Milin Desai (2/3) Episode 350 – Opt In: A CEO's Take on Becoming AI Native with Milin Desai (3/3) People being both generous with their time and inciteful has been a pattern with guests. Nick and John got to have conversations with people both on the air and off the air. Nick appreciated having Dale McKay on the show (a mentor of his). You can find those episodes here: Episode 288 – Guardrails for Growth: A Mentor's Experience with Dale McKay (1/2) Episode 289 – Enhance Your Personal Brand: Feedback as a Catalyst for Change with Dale McKay (2/2) Some other favorites from Nick: He enjoyed all of the conversations about the principal title and principal engineers. See also the principal tag for more of these stories. Nick also really enjoyed hearing the stories about why people went into leadership roles and why they moved away from them. One specific episode Nick highlights as a favorite is Episode 127 – Countdown to Burnout with Tom Hollingsworth (3/3). John mentions we all battle burnout from time to time, and having such great advice to go back to is a gift. Nick says being the editor is also a gift because you're going to get to listen to the recorded discussion multiple times. Many times, the questions Nick and John asked in guest interviews were things they needed help with in their own careers. Hopefully the answers to those questions helped you as a listener too! John liked the fact that we were able to clip some of the times we messed up on the air and include those sound bites at the very end of an episode for people. To find these episodes, look for the Stinger metadata tag on an episode post. Nick mentions the Barry White intro stinger. It's actually at the end of Episode 17. There are also some good stingers with guest Chris Williams. 31:05 – What to Expect from Us Moving Forward What are the things that will, won't, and might happen in the future? The Nerd Journey site will remain online and accessible so our content will not disappear. You can still enjoy past episodes, browse the show notes, and leverage the Layoff Resources Page as well as our Career Uncertainty Action Guide. John and Nick can keep it online in a very cost-effective way just as they have to this point since the podcast was never monetized (not even Amazon affiliate links). John still has a dream of making sure we have transcripts of all the episodes and making these available in addition to the show notes. Maybe that could be extended to an AI chat bot that was trained on the transcripts. There would be some overhead involved in doing it, but John thinks it's definitely possible. You can still reach out to John or Nick on LinkedIn or send us an e-mail. All current communication channels will remain in place. We are available for questions, if you want to talk, etc. We will definitely NOT restart this show. We have declared it complete. Even if we were going to do a show like this again in the future, we would do it differently. We might choose a different name, a different description, or a different format even. But we don't have the time to do that right now anyway. We are NOT starting a new show (at least not right now). 34:59 – There's More to Be Done for All of Us Just because the show is ending, that doesn't mean your work is complete. None of our work is complete when it comes to career. “The things that we've talked about in curating your own career and being intentional about it always apply. We're not going to be around to remind you of that every week, so I hope that people have learned those lessons and internalized them. But if not, do something to make those things intentional. You need to prioritize your career on a consistent basis.” – John White Here are some specific actions that you should take: Document your work. Generate proof of work. Show your work (similar to generating proof of work). John says this is what we were unconsciously doing when we began the podcast, sharing how we got to where we are and our job transitions so others can follow a similar path if they choose. The purpose of showing your work is so that others can learn from your experience and so you can remind yourself of what you've accomplished at a later time. Nick highlights that Episode 66: Three-Month Check-In as a Google Cloud Customer Engineer with John White, Part 1 remains the most downloaded episode in our catalog. Aim for small, iterative improvements. Turn information into knowledge. Some of this is through writing. We spoke several times on the show about writing being thinking, and it was specifically referenced in an episode with Josh Duffney – Episode 156 – Better Notes, Better You with Josh Duffney (1/2). Manage your knowledge in some kind of written form that isn't in your head. Make it a knowledge management system of some kind. Practice Deep Work. It's the most important work you can do because the skill of sustained attention will be the thing for which people are paid. Be mindful of technology waves and trends, and consider placing some small bets. Many guests have invested time and effort to become proficient in a newer technology before or as it was catching on. Don't be afraid to tinker with those newer technologies. Consistently invest in your professional network. One way to do this could be via meetup groups or online communities. Reach out to use if you want to talk about careers, starting a podcast, or other fun topics. Nick can also tell you what it's like to go through the John White School of Mentoring. We want to say a special thank you to every guest who took the time to be on the podcast and every listener who took the time to listen to an episode.

Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Rushion McDonald’s conversation with Dave Charest is to: 1. Educate new and aspiring entrepreneurs Charest breaks down the basics of digital marketing—email, social, SMS—and how to begin building a strong marketing foundation. 2. Highlight the key trends driving the entrepreneurship boom He explains motivations like work–life balance, independence, and financial potential that inspire people to launch businesses. 3. Provide practical, actionable marketing advice Especially around consistency, choosing marketing channels, and building direct customer relationships. 4. Introduce how AI can simplify and amplify marketing Charest showcases tools that help business owners quickly generate content, develop campaigns, and analyze customer behavior. Key Takeaways 1. Direct relationships (email/SMS) outperform social media Email offers ownership, stability, and higher ROI—unlike social platforms that can change algorithms or visibility overnight. Charest stresses that “the money is in the list.” 2. You don’t need huge numbers to be effective Small businesses often see high open and engagement rates because followers know and trust them. 3. Consistency matters more than platform choice Whether you choose Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, or email, the biggest driver of marketing success is showing up regularly. 4. Start small—don’t overwhelm yourself One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is trying to do everything at once. Begin with the basics and grow steadily. 5. Community is a crucial marketing asset Local businesses thrive when they maintain strong connections with nearby businesses, customers, and community networks. 6. Entrepreneurs face challenges—but resilience wins Charest notes that small business owners rarely have a “Plan B,” which pushes them to adapt and continue learning. 7. AI is transforming small‑business marketing Constant Contact offers tools to: Generate emails and content Summarize content for social Build full marketing campaigns Analyze behavior from large email lists to recommend actions Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Here are direct paraphrases and key phrases—not copyrighted material but drawn from the transcript: On email vs. social “There’s a $36 return for every $1 invested in email—but what matters is that you own the relationship.” “If a social platform goes away, so does your following. Email is a direct line.” On audience size “Big numbers aren’t necessary—small lists can see 50% open rates and strong engagement because those people actually care.” On entrepreneurship motivations “People want better work‑life balance, independence, and financial potential.” On mistakes “A big mistake is trying to do too much at once. Start small and stay consistent.” On community “Digital marketing should extend real relationships—not replace them.” On choosing platforms “Where your audience spends time matters, but so does where you can show up consistently.” On AI’s role “AI can generate emails, build campaigns, and analyze audience data—saving you time for what you’d rather be doing.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Business Brain, you're challenged to stop using AI as a polite yes-man and start treating it like a ruthless sparring partner. You learn how to pressure-test your thinking before you ever type a prompt by defining the real decision, the outcome that actually matters, and the constraints you refuse to break. Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton walk you through using AI to surface opposing viewpoints, rank options by impact instead of effort, and expose second-order consequences that can make or break your strategy. This is how you sharpen judgment instead of outsourcing it. You're also reminded that adaptation has no age limit, with a perfect real-world example that proves curiosity beats complacency every time. Whether you're refining decisions or embracing new tools, the message is clear: stay flexible, stay critical, and keep building your Charmed Life by thinking better, not just faster. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #717 for Casual FridAI, January 9th, 2026 January 9th: Static Electricity Day 00:01:21 Your Chat AI should be your sparring partner, not your yes-man Ruthless AI Test Before using AI, answer: What decision am I trying to improve?

Learn how to use philosophy to run your business more effectively. Reid Hoffman thinks a masters in philosophy will help you run your business better than an MBA. Reid is a founder, investor, podcaster, and author. But before he did any of these things, he studied philosophy—and it changed the way he thinks. Studying philosophy trains you to think deeply about truth, human nature, and the meaning of life. It helps you see the big picture and reason through complex problems—invaluable skills for founders grappling with existential questions about their business.I usually bring guests onto my podcast to discuss the actionable ways in which people have incorporated ChatGPT into their lives. But this episode is different. I sat down with Reid to tackle a deeper question: How is AI changing what it means to be human? It was honestly one of the most meaningful shows I've recorded yet. We dive into:- How philosophy prepares you to be a better founder- The importance of interdisciplinary thinking- Essentialism v. nominalism in the context of AI- How language models are evolving to be more “essentialist”- The co-evolution of humans and technology Reid also shares actionable uses of ChatGPT for people who want to think more clearly, like:- Input your argument and ask ChatGPT for alternative perspectives- Generate custom explanations of complex ideas- Leverage ChatGPT as an on-demand research assistantThis episode is a must-watch for anyone curious about some of the bigger questions prompted by the rapid development of AI.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!

In this special Christmas episode, Ronan, Janine, and Steve slow things down and talk about what this season really means—not just for their families, but for photographers everywhere. From Christmas Eve feasts and quirky traditions to childhood memories and the joy (and chaos) of shutting the studio doors for a few precious days, this episode is all about connection, nostalgia, and being present—everything photographers ask their clients to embrace, yet so often forget to give themselves.It's a cosy, funny, real conversation about recharging, making memories, being human in your business, and leaning into the magic your clients feel this time of year. If you need permission to switch off, breathe, and enjoy the people who matter most, this is the episode to curl up with.Key HighlightsThe one time of year the entire photography world finally slows down—and why it matters for your creativity and mental health.How Janine shifted from “militant Christmas Eve commander” to intentional, slow, meaningful traditions… and why your clients crave the same energy.Why the small rituals—hot cocoa bars, new ornaments, matching PJs—are the things your children remember for life.Christmas around the world: Irish potatoes, Italian lasagna, Australian barbies, and flaming whiskey-soaked pudding.Why showing the human behind the business in your content is more important than ever (especially during the holidays).The honest truth: photographers give so much all year… but struggle to give themselves permission to rest.A reminder every photographer needs to hear: “The hardest person to celebrate is yourself.”Ronan, Steve, and Janine's Christmas wish for every Difference Maker photographer—and a seasonal invitation to join the community.Join the Difference Maker Revolution!Take the first step toward creating a photography business that makes a difference.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   The Kyiv Independent launched in 2021, and its timing was in some ways fortuitous, since it was only a few months later that Russia launched a full-scale invasion in Ukraine. Suddenly, the entire world was paying attention to the country, and the Kyiv Independent happened to be the most authoritative English-language outlet to be reporting on the ground. This attention not only resulted in a massive amount of traffic, but also a surge in membership donations as sympathetic Westerners sought out ways to support Ukraine's cause.   In a recent interview, Chief Operating Officer Zakhar Protsiuk discussed the early days of getting the Kyiv Independent off the ground, its shift from one-time donations to recurring memberships, and why the outlet has begun producing longform documentaries.

The world of photography marketing is shifting—fast. In this episode, Steve, Janine, and Ronan break down what may be the biggest change since Google itself arrived: the rise of AI recommendation marketing. As more people start asking ChatGPT for help—not Google—photographers who want to stay visible must adapt now.You'll hear how AI is replacing traditional searches with smart, conversational recommendations that match people based on values, purpose, and emotional alignment—not style, props, or keywords.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Alicia Lyttle.

Less than 2% of people said they didn't care when asked about AI-generated images that look indistinguishable from reality. Over 85% said it was freaking them out. But here's what nobody's talking about: while everyone's panicking about robots replacing humans, the real shift is already happening in how you find restaurants, plan your day, and make decisions about your health. In this episode we dive into:• Why AI tools becoming "too good" actually makes your human judgment more valuable, not less• The hidden way these tools are already shaping your choices (even if you've never opened ChatGPT)• How to use this technology without losing yourself in the process• The analog renaissance coming in the next 5-7 years and why in-person elements will become your business edgeThe New Reality: When You Can't Tell What's Real Anymore• AI image generators went from looking like The Sims to creating photos of people who appear to have a nine-step skincare routine and a salary—practically overnight• You could design an entire coffee brand with professional studio-quality photos in minutes without hiring a single designer or photographer• The line between "real" and "generated" is already blurred, which means what we pay attention to is about to fundamentally shift• When beautifully aesthetic content becomes effortless to create, value shifts back to the one thing AI can't replicate: the human behind itThe Transformation: From Keyword Searches to Conversations That Understand You• Searching for a bar recommendation by saying "I want a place with good vibes at 4:30 on a Wednesday that's not touristy but feels like New York" and actually getting the perfect spot• AI tools are learning your context, mood, and personality—not just keywords—which means they respond the way a friend who really knows you would• ChatGPT creating shopping experiences, personalized recommendations, and frictionless purchasing without you ever leaving the platform• The catch nobody mentions: to get results you actually want requires you being deeply in touch with what you want in the first placeYour Edge in an AI-Saturated World• There's no such thing as sitting this one out—these tools shape how information gets filtered to you whether you use them or not• AI can mirror empathy but can't have your exact worldview, lived experiences, judgment, or intuition• The businesses that win will blend virtual delivery with in-person elements because people will crave verification that something is authentically human• Your edge isn't being louder than AI—it's being impossible to replace because you show up 100% as yourself with stories only you can tellThis conversation reminds us that technology doesn't diminish human value; it amplifies the importance of knowing who you are. Whether you're a founder worried about staying relevant or someone who just uses Instagram and wonders why every post sounds the same, this episode offers the framework to use these tools without losing yourself in the process.Instagram:⁠@thekrystahuber⁠⁠@thefitnessfyx⁠

This episode pulls back the curtain on the most powerful breakthroughs from our recent Effortless Sales workshop in Glasgow—and trust us, photographers walked out seeing their work (and their clients) in a completely new way.Steve, Ronan, and Jonathan break down the jaw-dropping moments that helped photographers realize why clients aren't buying the photos they think matter…and what actually makes clients fall deeply in love with their images. From the emotional “why” behind every purchase to the overlooked details that turn a simple photo into a must-have piece of art, this conversation reveals the shifts that lead to consistent high-value sales without ever pushing or persuading.If you've ever wondered why some images resonate instantly—and others fall flat—this episode is your roadmap to photographing for clients, not for judges, peers, or your own artistic ego. And it might just be the mindset reset your business has been missing.Key HighlightsThe #1 workshop moment that blew everyone's mind: why clients don't fall in love with photos… they fall in love with what those photos mean.The “describe the photo” exercise that revealed why most photographers unknowingly present images clients can't emotionally connect with.Why clients reject a photo at first glance—but then choose it as their favorite once it's emotionally interpreted.The shocking truth about variety: photographers think it's outfit and backdrop changes… clients think it's emotional storytelling and meaning.How photographing for clients (not awards, judges, or the industry) unlocks effortless, pressure-free sales.Real examples from the workshop showing how most photographers accidentally create shoots with only 2–3 sellable images—without realizing it.The difference between a “photographer's photographer” and a Difference Maker—and why one of them will be wiped out by AI.Why understanding a client's deeper “why” and their unspoken emotional desires leads to consistent 4- and 5-figure orders.The moment attendees realized how much they needed to unlearn—and how quickly their sales potential expanded once they did.How photographing the subtle, meaningful elements (a squeeze, a glance, a gesture) can turn a simple portrait into a priceless memory worth thousands.Join the Difference Maker Revolution!Take the first step toward creating a photography business that makes a difference.

Most people treat their LinkedIn profile like a static resume.But if optimized correctly, it becomes one of the most powerful sales tools in your business.In today's training, I'm breaking down Three Ways Your LinkedIn Profile Can Generate Sales, and each one is simple, strategic, and immediately actionable.First: Your Background BannerYour banner should clearly communicate who you help and how you help them.If someone lands on your profile and can't understand what you do in under three seconds, you're losing opportunities.My own banner says: The LinkedIn Sales and Marketing System for coaches and consultants.That clarity alone builds trust before someone even scrolls.Second: Your HeadlineYour headline should connect directly to your banner.It should include the exact keywords that say:• What you do• Who you help• Why it mattersA strong headline is both SEO optimized and human-friendly, so you show up in search and resonate with the right people.Third: Your Featured SectionThis is where your profile starts generating actual sales.The Featured section is your bridge from online to offline.Use it to spotlight the actions you want people to take:• Landing pages• Free resources• Your calendar link• Your podcast or YouTube channel• Your LinkedIn Newsletter• Case studiesWhen someone is ready to learn more about you, this section shows them exactly where to go next.And here's the key: all three sections must work together.Your banner, your headline, and your Featured content should tell a consistent story about who you help, how you help them, and what step they should take next.When you align these three elements, your profile stops being a placeholder…and starts becoming a conversion engine.Sign up for the Expert Content Society here before the doors close tonight at 9pm ET: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/expert-content-society
