Send us Fan MailOn this episode of Mondays Down Under, Lee Salisbury and Nick are joined by AIS Water's Lee Moore and Technical Director Blake for a deep dive into commercial saltwater chlorination.AIS Water has worked in salt chlorination for approximately 35 years, developing systems for everything from swim schools and splash parks to resorts, 50-meter competition pools, coastal pools, and enormous lagoons containing millions of liters of water.The conversation explores why more commercial aquatic facilities are moving toward onsite chlorine generation—and why their success depends on selecting actual commercial equipment, correctly sizing the system, and maintaining proper water chemistry.The three major benefits are convenience, safety, and long-term cost savings. Generating chlorine onsite can dramatically reduce the handling, storage, transportation, and manual transfer of liquid or granular chlorine. It can also reduce the risks associated with chemical spills, damaged dosing lines, incorrect chemical mixing, and chlorine gas entering an occupied pool.But not every “commercial salt system” is truly commercial.The guests discuss facilities that attempted to meet massive chlorine demand by plumbing together banks of residential chlorinators—including one installation containing an astonishing 95 residential units. Besides creating a maintenance nightmare, these improvised systems can introduce excessive head loss, restrict circulation, shorten cell life, and still fail to satisfy the pool's chlorine demand.Proper sizing requires far more than knowing the pool's volume. AIS Water considers actual peak bather load, water temperature, turnover rate, sunlight exposure, cyanuric acid use, environmental conditions, operating hours, and the facility's location. Two pools of identical size—even pools located only a suburb apart—may require substantially different chlorine production capacities.And just when you thought pool chlorination could not get any stranger, the discussion turns to horse pools, seal enclosures, sea lions, natural salt contributions from swimmers, and one exceptionally important unanswered question:Just how much chlorine does a sea lion prefer?You will have to return next Monday for the conclusion.In this episode: Why commercial aquatic facilities are adopting onsite chlorine generation The safety risks associated with storing and manually transporting chlorine How salt chlorination can reduce long-term operating costs Why an electrolytic cell is a consumable—not a failed chlorinator How commercial-grade anodes can provide significantly longer cell life The difference between residential and commercial chlorination equipment What happens when dozens of residential chlorinators are installed in one system How excessive head loss can compromise circulation and turnover Why peak bather load is critical when sizing a chlorinator How sunlight, shade, temperature, rainfall, and surrounding buildings affect chlorine demand Commercial systems ranging from low-salinity water to direct seawater The unusual challenges of chlorinating pools for horses, seals, and sea lions Guests: Lee Moore, Sales and Marketing, AIS Water Blake, Technical Director, AIS Water Hosted by Lee Salisbury and Nick on Mondays Down Under, part of the Talking Pools Podcast network.US certifications for AIS Commercial products.

Andrew sits down with Fred Weinmann, one of the most prolific PowerShell module authors in the community, for part one of a multi-episode series covering his projects. This episode focuses on the Active Directory Management Framework, or ADMF, a configuration-driven system Fred originally built while working as a field engineer at Microsoft for a large enterprise customer managing hundreds of Active Directory forests. Fred walks through the problem ADMF was designed to solve: Active Directory is notoriously hard to manage consistently across environments, and most organizations just accept the chaos as the cost of doing business. The old approach at this particular customer involved zipping up scripts, RDPing into domain controllers, and running them manually. ADMF changed that by borrowing the test/apply concept from Desired State Configuration, but making it flexible enough to handle the messiness of real-world AD environments. The conversation covers how ADMF is structured around components (like organizational units) and contexts, why generating a reference configuration from an existing environment is harder than it sounds, the protocol juggling required to handle Group Policy and schema updates, and why Fred would use raw LDAP instead of the built-in AD commands if he were starting from scratch today. Fred also touches on the credential provider plugin system, which lets teams plug in their own password management workflows for things like break-glass accounts. Key Takeaways: ADMF follows a test-before-apply model borrowed from DSC, but trades DSC's all-or-nothing enforcement for a more selective, component-by-component approach that better fits the fluid reality of Active Directory management. Generating a configuration from an existing AD environment is tempting but potentially counterproductive. If you auto-generate your desired state from a domain that's accumulated years of cruft, you're not capturing what you want, you're just freezing what already exists. Performance at scale is a real consideration. The built-in Active Directory PowerShell module uses the AD Web Services protocol, which sends XML over the wire. Raw LDAP is significantly faster, and Fred says switching to it is the one architectural change he'd make if building ADMF over again. Guest Bio: Friedrich "Fred" Weinmann is a Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft and one of the most recognized PowerShell community contributors working today. He is the creator of PSFramework, which underpins many other modules in the ecosystem, as well as tools like PSModuleDevelopment, PSUtil, and the Active Directory Management Framework. Fred is a frequent conference speaker, a longtime community collaborator, and someone Andrew credits with helping shape his own PowerShell journey.

You might be following a proven sales process, you might even be generating consistent revenue. But if you are not building in a regular strategic thinking space, your sales results are almost certainly not as strong as they could be and they are more fragile than you realise. In this episode of the Selling to Corporate® podcast, Jess Lorimer addresses one of the most common and costly problems she sees across the sales processes of coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers: the failure to stop, think strategically, and work on the process rather than just in it. Jess explains why this matters whether your sales are going well or badly, what specifically goes wrong when strategic thinking space is absent, and what you need to do differently in the second half of 2026 to make September and Q4 the most productive quarter of your year. Who This Episode Is For Coaches, consultants, trainers, speakers, and done-for-you service providers selling to corporate clients Anyone who feels busy in their business but is not seeing the sales results they expected Those who have invested in a sales strategy or programme but are not consistently reviewing whether it is working Business owners who are generating some revenue but want to make the second half of the year significantly stronger Anyone who has been experimenting with different sales approaches and wondering why nothing is gaining traction Service providers who want to understand why their sales process is difficult to troubleshoot or improve Questions This Episode Answers What is the number one problem in B2B sales processes, even for people already making sales? Why does testing and experimenting with sales strategies cost more than buying a proven one? What does strategic thinking space mean in a sales context, and why does it matter? What are the three specific problems that arise when coaches and consultants skip strategic thinking in their sales process? Why does a lack of specificity in B2B sales make everything harder? How do I know whether my sales process is working or whether I am working around its gaps? What should I focus on in the second half of 2026 to have a stronger September and Q4? Key Takeaways 1. The Number One Problem Is Not the Market. It Is the Absence of a Proven Process. Jess opens this episode with a direct challenge to one of the most common narratives she hears from coaches and consultants in 2026: that the market is slow, budgets are frozen, and decision makers are not signing things off. Her clients are signing 40k, 60k, and six-figure retainers. People are charging over 3,000 pounds for a 45-minute corporate session. First-time corporate workshop sales are happening every week. The difference between those results and the experience of people who feel stuck is not the market. It is whether or not they are using and consistently implementing a proven sales process. If your sales are not producing the results you want, the answer is not to wait for the market to improve, jump to a new specialism or test a new strategy. It is to implement something that is already proven and implement it properly. 2. Experimenting With Your Own Sales Strategy Is More Expensive Than Buying a Proven One One of the patterns Jess challenges directly in this episode is the tendency among intelligent, cost-conscious business owners to build their own sales strategy using AI tools, borrowed frameworks, or pieced-together advice, rather than investing in something with a verified track record. When you test an unproven strategy, you have no baseline for what results to expect, no reliable metrics to monitor and no way to troubleshoot what is or is not working. That means that when it does not produce results, you cannot tell whether the strategy failed, whether you executed it incorrectly or whether you simply did not give it enough time or volume. The real cost of testing unproven strategies is not the time spent on the activity itself. It is the confidence lost when nothing works, the motivation that erodes and the months or quarters where no revenue is generated because the strategy was never set up to succeed in the first place. A proven strategy removes that uncertainty and gives you something concrete to follow, measure, and improve. 3. Strategic Thinking Space Is Not Procrastination. It Is a Sales Action. The central concept in this episode is what Jess calls strategic thinking space: the deliberate practice of pausing to assess, analyse, and plan before and during sales activity, rather than simply executing tasks and hoping they produce results. Strategic thinking space is not sitting still, overthinking decisions, or using reflection as a reason to avoid action. It is the opposite: it is taking calculated, informed action rather than reactive, rushed action. In sales, speed and volume matter, but they only produce results when they are applied to the right activities with the right foundations in place. 4. Three Specific Problems Arise When Strategic Thinking Space Is Missing Jess identifies three concrete ways that the absence of strategic thinking space damages a sales process: Problem One: Jumping Into Activity Without Laying the Foundations The most common version of this is outreach. A business owner decides to do email outreach, sends 10, 20, or 50 emails, receives little or no response, and concludes that email outreach does not work. What they skipped was the foundational thinking: who specifically to target, what messaging would resonate with that person commercially and how to position themselves as a credible and relevant resource worth speaking to. The task was completed. The foundations were not. Without the foundations, the activity produces poor results, the person loses confidence in the method, and they move on to the next thing, repeating the same pattern. Problem Two: Lack of Specificity Without thinking space, most coaches and consultants default to broad, generalised positioning: their services work for any organisation, at any level, in any industry. They are afraid to narrow down because it feels like ruling people out. In reality, the absence of specificity makes everything harder. Lead generation becomes unfocused. Sales calls lack the diagnostic depth that comes from specialised expertise. Proposals feel generic rather than tailored. And when a genuine specialist appears in the same shortlist, the generalist loses. Specificity is not a limitation on who you can help. It is what makes it possible to identify the right people, ask the right questions and create offers that convert because they speak directly to a defined problem in a defined context. Problem Three: Troubleshooting Becomes Impossible For those operating a proven sales process, strategic thinking space is what makes it possible to spot early warning signs that something needs adjusting, before the problem becomes a crisis. Without that thinking space, you remain in constant doing mode, unable to step back and assess whether the activity is producing the right indicators at the right volume. The risk is that you miss early signals that something is working exceptionally well and could be scaled, or that something is underperforming and needs to change. Both missed opportunities cost revenue. For those not yet on a proven process, troubleshooting is even harder because there are no established benchmarks to compare against. 5. Corporate Clients Want Specialists, Not Trend-Followers Jess addresses a temptation she sees frequently in the online business space: when sales slow down, pivot to something new. Launch a different course, rebrand to a different specialism, or chase whatever appears to be gaining traction in the market right now. She is clear about why this does not work for people selling to corporate clients. Organisations are not buying generalists or people who shift their positioning with market trends. They are buying specialists: people who have depth, consistency and a track record in a specific area. Changing specialism under pressure signals exactly the opposite of what corporate buyers are looking for. The answer to a difficult market is not a new direction. It is a more focused, better-executed version of the proven process you already have, or one you should be implementing. Key Quotes "The market is not the problem. The people I work with are signing 40k, 60k, six-figure retainers right now. The difference is that they are using a proven system and following it properly." "Not allocating thinking space is a real problem in sales. Thinking strategically and allowing yourself that time and energy to do so is an action in sales." "In being valuable to everybody, your offer is valuable to absolutely no one. Strategic thinking space gives you the specificity that then lets you action every other part of your sales process effectively."

A B2B company's website is so much more than a passive “digital shop window.” When engineered and promoted strategically, it can help you establish category credibility, capture high-intent demand, generate qualified leads, and ultimately, build pipeline. Unfortunately, many B2B companies still treat their website like a digital brochure, leading to prospect drop-off and leaking revenue without the marketing teams even realizing it. So, how can marketing leaders address this critical issue and turn their websites into one of their company's best-performing revenue assets?That's why we're talking to Cameron LiButti (Founder, Bidview Marketing), who shared real-world case studies and his signature framework for how to transform your B2B website into a revenue-generating machine.

Future of Finance Interview with Pavel Jakovlev at AMINA Bank, Artemiy Parshakov at P2P.org, Ray Dillet at Bitwise and Christopher Perkins at Franklin Templeton.As cryptocurrencies become a standard part of institutional portfolios, asset managers are increasingly focused on generating sustainable yield—without compromising custody, governance, or risk controls.Staking has emerged as a core mechanism to earn yield on proof-of-stake networks, and adoption is accelerating as custodians integrate staking services directly into secure custody frameworks. Beyond staking, certain assets—like Bitcoin—generate yield through lending, while yield-bearing Stablecoins are redefining how institutions earn returns on digital cash equivalents. Participants will discover how custodians serve as the gateway to secure, institutional-grade staking and lending, balancing asset safety with participation in yield-generating opportunities. The session highlights differences and overlaps between staking and lending, guiding institutions on opportunity assessment, risk management, and strategic decision-making in a rapidly evolving market.⭐ Read more about this interview: https://www.futureoffinance.biz/gener...Learn more and connect with Future of Finance:

In a recent episode of CSP's “At Your Convenience” podcast, Drew Walls, sales director for retail media at Broadsign, discussed the challenges retailers face when building retail media networks. Walls said retailers often focus on deploying screens first without considering monetization strategy, leading to missed revenue opportunities."We are still pricing the screen and not necessarily the moment," Walls said, noting that a 7 a.m. coffee run represents different shopper intent than an evening cold vault visit. He advised retailers to maintain control over audience data, direct brand relationships and measurement methodologies while leveraging hybrid approaches that offer flexibility.Walls stressed the importance of commercial separation and optionality in retail media architecture, allowing retailers to adapt their technology stack as business needs evolve without losing critical data or demand pathways. Listen to the entire conversation above.
In this episode, Tyler Clark and Coleman Ayers sit down with Dr. Tony Miller, head men's basketball coach at Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, where he has taught for 20 years and served on staff since the program's intercollegiate launch in 2012. Tony brings a teacher's lens to coaching, discussing how his background in secondary education shapes the way he thinks about player learning, classroom management principles applied to the court, and the balance between "old school" influences like Coach K and John Wooden and "new school" concepts from Alex Sarama and Chris Oliver. The conversation covers identity, both for players and coaches, the challenge of building culture quickly given roster turnover from the transfer portal, and what it means to run a truly player-led program.The back half of the episode dives deep into Tony's analytics-driven approach to shot selection, including his "5-7-9" shot rating system and the "sevens for 70" practice game he uses to teach shot quality. He also unpacks his program's core values (character, competitiveness, connectedness), his approach to individual meetings and recruiting fit, and closes with a reflection on Bob Ritchie's "person development over player development" philosophy and what legacy really means beyond wins and awards.Timestamps0:00 — Introduction to guest Tony Miller, head coach at Bob Jones University 0:50 — Merging the classroom and the court: Tony's background as a teacher 6:57 — Filtering information overload post-COVID and knowing who you are as a coach 11:02 — Getting the most out of individual players within a team setting 19:49 — Identity — helping players and coaches figure out who they are 26:47 — Balancing team culture with individual expression 31:51 — Empowering players to problem-solve ("figure it out") 36:14 — Intentionality in practice design and managing controlled chaos 43:43 — Individual development within the team system 49:32 — Letting players surprise you — positionless development 53:44 — Building team culture fast through individual conversations and analytics 1:02:31 — Shot selection analytics: the "5-7-9" shot rating system and "sevens for 70" 1:11:38 — Generating advantage shots with a different roster every year 1:22:12 — Bob Ritchie's "person development over player development" and legacy 1:26:35 — Closing thoughts and where to find Tony MillerResources & LinksFree Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resources BAM Coaches Platform: https://platform.byanymeanscoaches.com/#/platform Books: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookKeep ListeningG-League Coach of the Year, Vitor Galvani, on Why Player Development Isn't Linear, G-League Practices, Being Where Your Feet Are and Much More Another head coach interview covering player ownership, balancing structure with freedom, and long-term development over short-term results — themes that run throughout the Tony Miller conversation. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19047395Alessandro Nocera on Building More Conceptual Players A coach interview exploring conceptual, principles-based offense and adapting philosophy to personnel — a natural pairing with Tony's system-plus-freedom approach to advantage creation. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19331880Stuart Armstrong on Talent Identification, Development, Ecological Dynamics and much more Digs into coach education, athlete identity, and building intuition-driven decision-makers — echoes Tony's emphasis on questioning players and developing independent thinkers. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/18955528

Rather than asking how AI can help produce more books faster, he explores how AI can unlock entirely new ways for audiences to experience stories through interactive apps, games, codices, workbooks, and other formats that previously required large development teams.That leads into a larger discussion about permission.Neither traditional publishing nor modern technology determines what creators are “allowed” to make anymore. The only real limitations are imagination, willingness to experiment, and understanding the business realities behind each creative decision.The episode also explores one of the most important concepts for building a sustainable creative career:Every creative goal is built from dozens of smaller skills.Whether someone wants to become a podcaster, novelist, filmmaker, or entrepreneur, success isn't about mastering one discipline. It's about gradually stacking complementary skills until seemingly unrelated experiences suddenly converge years later into a career that feels inevitable in hindsight.Throughout the conversation, Lee explains how she coaches authors by breaking seemingly impossible goals into measurable component skills, while Russell emphasizes that many creators fail simply because they confuse different goals, like “finishing a book” versus “writing the perfect book.”The discussion continues into branding, genre, audience expectations, marketing strategy, commercial fiction versus literary fiction, and why understanding your actual goals matters far more than copying someone else's career.By the end, the conversation becomes less about books and more about designing an entire creative life around what genuinely energizes you instead of chasing someone else's definition of success.Topics Covered:* ADHD, body doubling, and productivity through co-working* Live TikTok writing sprints* Building creative momentum through accountability* Why the AI debate has become less interesting than AI's unexplored possibilities* Using AI to create interactive fiction experiences* Games, apps, codices, and alternative storytelling formats* Moving beyond simply writing more books* Escaping the “book-a-month” mindset* Delivering a consistent brand promise* Lessons from Colleen Hoover and her readership* Brand consistency versus creative freedom* Why audiences buy feelings, not formats* Permissionless creativity in the modern publishing world* Teaching yourself instead of waiting for gatekeepers* Everything changes, but nothing is wasted creatively* How unrelated skills compound over time* Why every creative pursuit strengthens future work* The hidden skill tree behind creative careers* Breaking large goals into measurable subskills* Diagnosing bottlenecks in an author's business* Identifying obvious versus non-obvious constraints* Marketing, branding, writing, and sales as separate skills* Goal clarity versus perfectionism* Finishing a book versus endlessly rewriting it* Coaching authors through creative paralysis* Living in the energy of the solution instead of the problem* Chapter-by-chapter developmental editing* Making stories “hookier” without sacrificing quality* Scene goals and narrative momentum* Book marketing bootcamps and implementation coaching* The five marketing levers:* Cover* Description* Audience* Ad creative* Ad copy* Improving conversion instead of increasing production* Hiring coaches to solve specific problems* Defining what “good” actually means* Literary fiction versus commercial fiction* Hook-driven storytelling* Character goals as reader engagement* Matching writing style to audience expectations* Understanding market size versus artistic goals* Commercial realities of genre fiction* Fantasy, romance, literary fiction, YA, and niche genres* Building businesses around niche audiences* Total addressable market* Choosing creative constraints intentionally* Dense fiction versus highly consumable fiction* Writing beautiful prose without sacrificing readability* Generating traffic versus improving conversion* Lessons from James Clear and Atomic Habits* Creating highly shareable nonfiction* The difference between broad-market products and niche products* Serving a small but passionate audience* Designing a creative life around personal values* Investing versus relying solely on book income* Aligning business models with lifestyle goals* Accepting tradeoffs instead of chasing impossible comparisons* Building a career that fits your definition of success This is a public episode.

Have you ever known exactly what you should be doing in your business, yet still found yourself avoiding it? Whether it's posting on social media, following up with prospects, raising your rates, or having sales conversations, many entrepreneurs struggle with taking consistent action on the activities that generate revenue. In this Mastering Excellence episode of the Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch sits down with EFT tapping expert Nancy Linnerooth to explore why smart, capable women entrepreneurs often get stuck in patterns of procrastination, self-sabotage, and avoidance. Nancy combines her experience as a Harvard-trained attorney, therapist, and EFT practitioner to help women identify and release subconscious blocks that keep them from reaching their next level of success. Together, Nikki and Nancy unpack the hidden beliefs that can influence everything from visibility and confidence to money, leadership, and business growth. The conversation explores how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly known as tapping, can help uncover subconscious patterns that traditional mindset work may miss. Nancy shares examples of the surprising beliefs that often surface during tapping sessions and explains how those beliefs can quietly prevent entrepreneurs from taking action, even when they know exactly what to do. Nikki also shares her personal experience participating in a tapping session with Nancy and discusses the powerful shifts that can happen when long-held beliefs are finally released. If you've ever wondered why you keep delaying important business activities despite your best intentions, this episode offers a fascinating look into what may be happening beneath the surface. In this episode, learn: Why women entrepreneurs often avoid revenue-generating activities How subconscious beliefs influence business decisions Common money blocks that keep entrepreneurs stuck What EFT tapping is and how it works How childhood experiences can shape beliefs about success and money Why procrastination is often a symptom, not the root problem How tapping helps uncover and release limiting beliefs Ways to reduce resistance and take action with more confidence A question to consider: What is the revenue-generating activity you've been avoiding lately? And what belief might be hiding underneath that resistance? Sometimes the challenge is not a lack of strategy or knowledge. Sometimes it's an invisible belief that's quietly influencing your actions. Listen in to discover how identifying and releasing those blocks can help you move forward with greater ease, confidence, and consistency.

Is your chronic pain real — even when every test comes back normal? The answer is yes. And the science of neuroplastic symptoms is finally explaining why. In this episode of Inner Voice – A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan, Dr. Foojan Zeine sits down with Dr. David Clarke, MD — President of the Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS), board-certified gastroenterologist and internal medicine physician, and author of They Can't Find Anything Wrong: 7 Keys to Understanding, Treating, and Healing Stress Illness.

Here's the plan the best gym owners are following right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMPx7b3_LOA The gyms winning with AI right now are not using it to write emails. They built a machine learning algorithm that predicts who's about to cancel. They fired their ad agency and their bookkeeper. They have an AI employee living in Slack that nobody on the team can tell isn't human. Pav spent 20 years in Fortune 500 companies before opening BFT Tysons. His financial planning background and tech instincts put him in a different category than most gym owners touching AI right now. In this episode, Mike Arce sits down with one of the most advanced operators in the GSD community to break down exactly what they've built, how they built it, and what's coming next. In this episode you'll learn: — How Pav built a machine learning algorithm that ranks the 25 members most likely to cancel before they decide — The five member behavioral avatars the model uses and which signals carry the most weight — How BFT Tysons uses Claude to run Meta ads, optimize campaigns from the grocery store line, and launch new ads in five minutes instead of 45 — The AI marketing analyst that pulls weekly ad data, surfaces red flags, and sends recommendations directly to Slack — How Victor works as an AI employee inside Slack and the story of it onboarding a new team member better than the humans did — Why the era of information is over and what the era of imagination means for gym owners right now — Studio OS: the custom internal dashboard Pav's team built to track memberships, financials, and cancellations in one place — How AI analyzed BFT's three membership tiers and identified which members were most likely to upgrade — The connection between selling your highest tier first and actually getting members the results they came for — What Pav is focused on in Q3 and how AI identified three specific reasons revenue per member was declining — The security risks gym owners should actually worry about when building with AI — Why the AI revolution mirrors the printing press and what that means for the jobs being created right now If you think you're using AI because you asked it to rewrite an email, this episode will show you how far behind that really is.

Mark Parrish was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. He has a proven track record in the fast-paced world of franchise management, and he oversees 22 McDonald's restaurants that generate over $88 million in annual revenue. He brings experience in operations, leadership, and strategy, and his experience building multi-million-dollar franchises makes him a sought-after speaker and coach. We discussed having a success mindset, the importance of planning sessions and how they set up his week, the challenge of remaining hands-on in his business as it grows, and offering big rewards to his team for achieving big goals. In addition, we talked about leading your team at work versus leading your family at home, making big decisions when the stakes are high, building systems that scale people, and the power of developing your team. Finally, we discussed holding people accountable without micromanaging them, how success can expose your flaws, implementing 90-day sprints in your business, and making difficult decisions.

Special Guest: Shahd Safarani, Founder of ResMind Welcome to Podcast Profits Unleashed, the podcast that helps coaches, consultants, and experts grow their business through podcasting, authority, and smart marketing. In this episode, Karen Roberts sits down with Shahd Safarani, founder of ResMind, to explore how AI is transforming books from passive credibility assets into active client-generation systems. Most books don't fail because they're poorly written—they fail because the conversation ends when the reader reaches the final page. Shahd explains how giving your book an AI-powered "brain" allows readers to continue learning, ask questions, receive personalised guidance, and naturally discover your coaching or consulting offers.

Maher sits down with Stacy Luna, a mortgage professional with more than 30 years of experience, to talk about her journey back into the Generosity Generation and Referral Mastery Academy.

Then she stepped into Time Mastery, where the daily planning system helped her finally take control of her calendar, her priorities, and her influential zone. Stacy shares how focusing on phone calls, face-to-face conversations, PowerNotes, and intentional client follow-up helped her have one of her best months ever, even in a challenging market. She also shares her quarterly "You've Got the House, Now What?" Zoom calls for past clients. If you've ever felt behind, overwhelmed, inconsistent, or like it's too late to build a referral-based business, this episode is for you.

After years of managing large-scale house-flipping operations, huge teams, and nonstop stress, Ben and his business partner decided they wanted something different.

Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders. Reading by Tim Foley.

In this episode of Daily Creative, we explore what it really takes to do meaningful, protected creative work in an age of perpetual noise and overwhelm. We kick off with a story from Claude Shannon, the mathematician whose revolutionary thinking about “signal vs. noise” in communication provides the perfect lens for today's creative challenges.First, we sit down with Ron Friedman, author of Superteams, who shares the non-obvious strengths that set high-performing teams apart—from deliberately managing time, energy, and attention, to building genuine interdependence, to treating recovery and feedback as critical components of ongoing excellence. Ron details how meeting habits, role clarity, and shared goals can be redesigned to reduce friction and allow great work to emerge.Next, Fred Marshall, author of Thrive, dives deep into Future Shock—the cognitive overload that leaders now face daily. He explains why structuring information flow, protecting focused attention, and designing your personal “ecosystem” are the new fundamentals of not just surviving but thriving. Fred outlines his Super 8 building blocks for a well-aligned life and offers practical frameworks for deciding where to direct our energy and attention, especially as AI transforms the landscape.Throughout, we return to a single question: amidst all the noise, how do we identify and safeguard the signal—the contribution that only we can make?Five Key LearningsProtecting the Signal Is Fundamental. Generating great ideas is only half the battle. The real challenge is intentional design—protecting the “signal” of valuable work from the ever-increasing “noise” of distractions, meetings, and obligations 02:35.Superteams Actively Design Their Collaboration. High-performing teams excel by building shared goals that require collaboration, clarifying roles around outcomes (not tasks), and using team-based incentives that foster interdependence 08:04.Meetings Should Never Be the Default. Superteams make meetings a last resort, use clear decision-making guidelines, and create focus time (not just “meeting-free” days) to allow meaningful work to happen within normal hours 11:10.Strategic Recovery Outperforms Passive Downtime. True recovery doesn't happen from just unplugging. Engaging in mastery experiences and activities that stretch you in new ways is essential to sustain ongoing performance and passion 16:28.Attention Management Is a Leadership Imperative. Our attention ecosystem must be curated just as intentionally as our task lists. Using clear frameworks to distinguish priorities, obligations, and noise protects the space needed for deep, creative, and strategic work—even as AI and cognitive overload increase 26:50.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

There has been a sharp rise in so-called "nudification" technology. These AI-powered tools can generate realistic fake images and videos that depict people as undressed, often without their knowledge or consent. William Brangham reports on the growing concern over the technology and the efforts underway to rein it in. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
