Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Judy Lane Boyer… a ghostwriter, writing coach, and storyteller who helps others bring their words to life. We first connected here in Austin, crossed paths again at Podfest, and after a couple of failed recording attempts, we finally made this conversation happen.Judy shares her powerful story of breaking free from a strict upbringing, finding faith in her own way, and embracing her passion for writing. We talk about what it means to trust the process, to pivot when life calls for it, and to honor the gifts that make us unique.From traveling to Oxford for a faith-based fantasy conference to launching her very first writing retreat, Judy's journey is a reminder that it's never too late to choose differently and create a new chapter for yourself.This episode is about courage, creativity, and listening to that quiet voice that says: “Why don't you let me handle it?”Take a listen. Let it inspire you. And maybe ask yourself… what story inside you is waiting to be told?Connect with Judy:

Smilo & the Ghost is an Americana-grit folk band born from the rustbelt and rooted in redemption. Front-ed by singer-songwriter Tyler Smilo, the band blends raw lyricism with vintage tones, cinematic storytell-ing, and a touch of cosmic twang. Their sound drifts somewhere between dusty desert highways and dimly lit city bars — a fusion of folk, alt-country, and soul with deep emotional bite.Formed in Erie, PA in 2016, Smilo & the Ghost have shared stages with Grammy winners, national acts, and underground legends alike. Their discography includes Ghost Writers, Fingers Crossed & Godspeed, and the live album Live from PACA, with their newest record Twang & Fire capturing both fire and fragili-ty in a post-pandemic world. Smilo's lyrics are deeply personal, often exploring recovery, survival, and the ghosts we carry — because he's lived it.

Gunnar kehrt nach einer Abwesenheit zurück und enthüllt die Wurzel allen Übels: Ein exzessiver Besuch eines Scooter-Konzerts. Befeuert durch eine alarmierende Menge an "Pennergranaten" (Wodka-Energy), erlebte er zwar das "beste Konzert des Jahres", zahlte aber mit heftigen Bauchschmerzen. Die Diskussion driftet zu H.P. Baxxters unsterblicher Energie und der ironischen Genialität von Scooter. Später berichtet Gunnar von seiner Zeit als Ghostwriter für die Biografie des Rappers Olexesh, einem Projekt voller Verzögerungen, das erst erschien, als der Hype schon wieder abebbte.

Welcome to episode 293 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Ron Latz, the Founder of LegalFenix, a legal marketing consultancy offering fractional CMO services to growth-minded law firms. With over 15 years of experience in legal marketing, Ron has helped hundreds of firms strengthen their strategy, hold vendors accountable, and create consistent growth. He shares how smaller law firms can stand out in saturated markets, avoid common SEO pitfalls, and use AI strategically without losing authenticity or trust.     What you'll learn about in this episode:   AI is reshaping legal marketing strategy - Law firms must learn how AI-driven search and content affects visibility - Firms that avoid AI tools risk falling behind in efficiency and reach Smaller firms can still compete with giants - Community involvement and personalized branding are powerful differentiators - Grassroots efforts like newsletters, and speaking gigs help smaller firms build trust Differentiation starts with messaging - Firms must clarify why a prospect should hire them instead of a competitor - Storytelling, clear positioning, and niche services help break through the noise AI is a tool- use it wisely - AI is great for content outlines and repurposing - but human oversight is essential - Abuse of AI can hurt search rankings and brand credibility Authenticity wins on social media - Static, outsourced posts often fall flat—audiences prefer real voices and stories - Ghostwriters can help lawyers find and refine their authentic tone for better impact Resources:  Website: www.legalfenix.com/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ronlatz/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/legalfenixmarketing YouTube: www.youtube.com/@LegalFenix Additional Resources:    https://www.pilmma.org/aiworkshop https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Bettyanne Green. The two talk about what it's like to birth and launch a book, the importance of making bold decisions even in uncertain times, and how aligning business vision with a fulfilling personal life can transform everything. In this episode, we discuss: How Ivy draws on real-life moments—including her experience in New York City on 9/11—to extract leadership lessons about meeting the world as it is and creating your own future, even when circumstances are out of your control. What it felt like for Ivy to “birth” her book into the world—navigating vulnerability, self-doubt, and the unfamiliar territory of being the interviewee instead of the interviewer. When Ivy realized the importance of making decisions and setting deadlines to move projects (like her book) forward, despite discomfort or perfectionism. Why Ivy sees success in both life and business as being intertwined, emphasizing that leaders should consciously align personal goals with business ambitions. Why Ivy insisted on including worksheets at the end of every chapter in her book, ensuring that readers not only absorb the material but are prompted to take action and experience real transformation. Bettyanne Green is a Ghostwriter who specializes in business books and ebooks. She works one-to-one with leaders who dream of publishing a bestselling book that will expand their business or influence -- while bringing their valuable message to the world. Before turning to ghostwriting, Bettyanne worked in almost every aspect of marketing communications for clients ranging from The New York Times, international magazines, consulting companies, the Cleveland Orchestra, and entrepreneurial business professionals.  She is known for her gift of reflecting her author's unique tone and voice—The most treasured feedback she often receives from clients is: "Did YOU write that or did I??" Offer: A complimentary hour session with Ivy's listeners who are considering writing a book. I'll answer your questions on what it's like to write a book, how to get your book published, how to get started -- and to start strategizing your own bestseller! Just email me and mention Ivy.

Joseph Bolz, auf YouTube besser bekannt als “DeChangeman”, ist Regisseur, Drehbuchautor und Ghostwriter. Auf seinem YouTube-Kanal führt er Selbstexperimente durch, wie “30 Tage ohne WhatsApp”. Derzeit inszeniert er einen neuen Horrorfilm und das ist Anlass genug, um endlich ein Gespräch mit ihm nachzuholen, was André bereits vor drei Jahren mit ihm führte - und durch technische Probleme verloren ging. Denn bei all dem lautet die Frage natürlich: Wovor gruselt er sich eigentlich?

Each summer we have the privilege of hosting special guests pastors and leaders from our Every Nation Churches Family. This is an incredible time of getting to hear from and receive from other parts of the Body of Christ that God has sovereignly connected us to within our broader spiritual family.

At In Focus Church, love God, love people and reach the world with God's love is more than a mission statement, it is how we want to live. We want to boldly share the love of Jesus with others. We hope you will want to be apart of what God is doing in and through IFC as we continue to be, and become even more the House of Miracles we are destined to be. Your story could be the next miracle! Along with a powerful time in the Word of God, we will also be able to worship God wholeheartedly as He deserves. Whether you join us in person or online, we look forward to worshiping with you!

My guest on the show today is Greg Barnhisel, English professor at Duquesne University and author of the recent book Code Name Puritan: Norman Holmes Pearson at the Nexus of Poetry, Espionage, and American Power.Our conversation is in one sense about the subject of his book, Norman Holmes Pearson, who was a pioneer of both the American intelligence establishment and the modern study of the humanities. But it's also about the death of what Pearson represented, or embodied, which is the American cold war establishment, or—to abstract even further— the death of any unitary establishment whatsoever possessing the power to author a consensus or narrative to which most of the nation would defer. It's also about one of my abiding preoccupations, as a son of New England, with the old yankee WASP elite culture. Yale men. Taste-makers. Ghostwriters of national narratives. The kind of people who knew how to quote Virgil, chair a foundation meeting, and quietly stage a coup in Latin America. We talk about whether this specific kind of establishment power he represented has faded entirely or morphed into something else (some version of what we sometimes call the professional managerial class.Hope you enjoy.Peace This is a public episode.
