In this episode, Scott breaks down how small landscaping businesses can outrank national chains on Google Maps—without spending big on ads or hiring a marketing agency.   Spoiler alert: You already have a secret weapon the big brands can't compete with. Scott shares the 3 ranking factors Google actually uses to decide who shows up at the top—and how small, scrappy landscapers can win by leaning into what makes them local and trustworthy.   You'll learn: The #1 mistake landscapers make with their Google Business Profile How to turn everyday jobsite photos into visibility boosters Why your local reputation matters more than brand recognition What “relevance” really means—and how to update your profile to match it How to use reviews the right way to build trust and climb the ranks   Plus, Scott shares the overlooked reason some landscapers with fewer reviews are still beating the competition—and how you can do the same with a simple weekly routine.  

In this compelling episode, marketing trailblazer Jay Berkowitz takes us on a journey from his early days working for household names like Coca-Cola and McDonald's in Canada to becoming a digital marketing pioneer in the U.S. Jay shares how he helped grow a dot-com startup into a $60 million company at the dawn of the internet advertising era—before Google was even out of beta. Through a mix of firsthand stories, evolving marketing philosophies, and game-changing innovations, Jay outlines how he transitioned from consultant to full-scale digital agency founder, and how his strategic approach to sales and public speaking helped him build long-lasting success. Jay delves into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on search marketing, the importance of leading industry trends, and his team's commitment to innovation through the "Rule of Three" and quarterly product launches. He highlights key lessons from books like The E-Myth and Traction, and explains how implementing structured systems like EOS helped him scale his agency while empowering his team. Listeners will gain deep insight into how niching down, adapting quickly to technology shifts, and building a leadership-driven culture can unlock sustainable business growth—especially in competitive sectors like legal marketing. Takeaways: Success in digital marketing and business often begins with identifying a real, unmet need—whether it's helping companies get online, educating audiences on emerging tools like Google, or modernizing direct response strategies. Solving meaningful problems builds trust and creates organic demand.Before scaling a business, it's vital to understand how to sell your services. Speaking engagements, clear value propositions, and a strong understanding of the client's pain points help establish authority and drive growth—often more effectively than traditional sales pitches.Applying systems like the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) or the E-Myth framework enables businesses to scale sustainably. Implementing SOPs, structured leadership roles, and regular strategy sessions creates stability and fosters long-term growth.Leveraging emerging technologies like AI and tools such as ChatGPT or automated intake systems can offer a major competitive advantage. A proactive mindset toward testing and integrating new tools is essential to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.Focusing on a specific vertical—like personal injury law or franchise marketing—enables deeper expertise, easier prospecting, and better client results. Niching down streamlines operations and opens the door for scalable, repeatable strategies that outperform generalized approaches.Successful marketing today is built on data. Understanding a business's digital footprint—from Google Maps rankings to PPC performance—can uncover opportunities that significantly impact client outcomes. Tools and reporting are no longer optional—they're foundational. High-performing teams are built on trust, shared leadership, and mutual accountability. Clients who approach marketing as a partnership, trust expert advice, and operate with structured business practices consistently achieve better results and long-term growth.

YouTube Pause Ads: Werbeanzeigen, die eingeblendet werden, wenn Nutzer ein YouTube-Video pausieren (vorerst mobil), gespeist aus dem Demand Gen Universum.

Kim welcomes Claudia Lawrence, the visionary CEO and founder of Dinner Is Served in Ballina, New South Wales, Australia. As the debut guest of the Intuitive Leader Series, Claudia shares her unique journey leading an award-winning sustainable food business—blending intuitive decision-making, manifestation practices, and practical business strategy.Whether you're an established entrepreneur, an aspiring intuitive leader, or anyone craving fresh perspectives on business leadership, this episode delivers inspiration for navigating the ever-changing New Era of business.Episode HighlightsTrusting Intuition for Business SuccessClaudia dives deep into what it means to truly trust your intuition as a business leader. She shares personal stories about hiring, pivoting during staff changes, and knowing when it's time to move forward—emphasizing how she physically feels intuitive signals and the importance of honoring those instincts, even (and especially) in high-stakes moments.Manifesting Opportunities and Using Energetic SignaturesManifestation isn't just a buzzword for Claudia—it's a daily practice. She reveals how keeping the “how” out of manifestation, starting with small intentions, and building a track record of trust in the universe has helped her call in everything from the perfect business location to a fully electric kitchen. Claudia also discusses the Intuitive Success Quiz and explains how understanding both her own and her team's unique Signatures allows for harmonious, effective collaboration.Key Episode Quotes“There's nothing that I can't create or manifest. The faith comes from practicing and seeing it work—start small and build proof.”“It's a balance—the more you honor your intuition, the greater dividends it pays. But as a business owner, you also need to know your numbers and have a plan.”Key Questions Answered1. What practical steps did Claudia take to manifest major wins for her business?[12:09] Claudia shares that her manifestation process started simple—with intentions and daily affirmations written in a journal and expanding as evidence built. She discusses manifesting her ideal business location and securing solar panels, highlighting the importance of removing the “how” and letting the outcome unfold. “Each day in my journal, and each time we were setting intentions around the moon—solar panels, I'd like that... and I removed that ‘Well, how's that going to happen?'” 2. What advice does Claudia have for aspiring entrepreneurs and intuitive leaders?[34:59] Claudia emphasizes the need for balance: “I feel that when I built the kitchen and the space we're in, I relied too heavily on magic [...] but I didn't do my due diligence with the numbers.” She encourages combining practical business planning (knowing your numbers, backup plans) with intuition and manifestation. “It would be to make sure that you have a plan, create the vision in your mind and make it a big vision. [...] But make sure you understand your numbers.” Connect with Claudia Lawrence & Dinner Is Served!Website: https://dinnerisserved.com.au/Location: Ballina, New South Wales, just south of Byron Bay, AustraliaInstagram: @dinnerisservedauFind them locally: Search “Dinner Is Served” in Google Maps to visit their award-winning cafe or order ready meals in the Northern NSW region.Subscribe, Rate, and ReviewEnjoyed this episode?

A young service technician wraps up a job around 11 p.m., driving alone through the remote highways of Utah. Google Maps suggests a shortcut—a dirt road that cuts through the desert. He takes it. Then his truck dies. No cell service. No lights. Just silence. As he searches for help, distant laughter pierces the night. Then movement. Three shadowy figures begin chasing him—fast, relentless, like predators on a hunt. He's being hunted like an animal. In a blind panic, he runs through the darkness, heart pounding, until he finds his truck. Somehow, it starts. He drives off, leaving the nightmare in the dust, barely escaping with his life...

It is summer road trip season so it is time to recap some of our best road trip tips from preparing, planning, packing, and more. Plus, we share some of our favorite road trips. Episode Highlights Before you head out on a road trip, make sure your car has been serviced recently and check the tires to make sure the pressure is correct. You may also want to top off your fluids and use the bug windshield washer fluid. Bring a go-to kit with wipes, sanitizer, tissues, lip balm, moisturizer, sun screen, and eye drops. Also bring a couple of extra baggies or ziploc bags. Bring a trash bag for the front and back (or for each kid) and empty the trash at each stop. Bring a small cooler and ice pack that you can refreeze each night for left overs and snacks. Have a specific spot for your snacks that can be refilled when needed. Use a car freshener or car air purifier to help keep food smells away. You may want to consider a AAA membership and bring your card with you. For longer road trips, consider bringing a carry on bag with a duffle bag instead of a larger checked bag. Use a duffle bag to transport what you need in and out each night. It is good to have one overnight bag for toiletries and pajamas for everyone that always goes in. Bring a laundry bag that you can put your dirty clothes in each day in your car or larger suitcase. Plan an overnight stay at a place that has laundry facilities. When choosing where to stay, consider staying just off the highway where you are more likely to find a chain hotel that has free breakfast and free parking (and laundry facilities). Plus it is easy to get on and off the highway. Some of the chains like Best Western have summer promotions for multiple stays. Some apps to have are Gas Buddy, Road Trippers, and of course Google or Apple Maps. Google Maps is also good at showing you how busy attractions are at different times of the day. For road trips in less-populated areas, bring a road atlas or paper maps (you can get free maps at AAA if you are a member) Maine Coast road trip - read the full post here: https://we3travel.com/boston-to-bar-harbor-a-maine-coast-road-trip-itinerary/ Florida Keys road trip - read more here: https://yourtimetofly.com/key-west-girls-trip/ Canadian Rockies road trip - read more here: https://we3travel.com/canadian-rockies-vacation-itinerary/ West Coast road trip - read more here: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/west-coast-road-trip/ Road trip packing list: https://stuffedsuitcase.com/pack-car-road-trip/ Related Episodes West Coast road trip Southwest Grand Circle road trip Oregon Coast road trip California road trip Midwest road trip Family road trip tips

Bagels are one of the most famous NYC foods and a MUST-have during your time here. Many people argue that New York is the capital of the world for bagels.Why are the bagels so good in NYC?Many people claim that the bagels in NYC are so amazing because the tap water here is considered some of the best in the world. NYC has "soft" water from the Catskill Mountains, meaning it has lower concentrations of calcium and magnesium. The mineral content in water affects the gluten in the dough. Extra hard water strengthens the gluten, which can cause tougher baked goods, meaning softer water yields softer baked goods. Some bagel experts claim the bagels are so good in NYC because of the refined bagel techniques, including longer proofing time and boiling techniques before baking. Either way, the bagels in New York City are truly second to none.Liberty Bagels4 locations in NYC. 5th Ave by the Plaza Hotel/Central Park. Midtown location by Herald Square. Fidi location. Queens location.They offer fun-flavored cream cheeses and always have rainbow bagels (plain flavor with fun colors). It also features seasonal colors, which are a fun addition. We love the BEC, works bagel, and blueberry bagel. Try the cream cheese before you commit to an entire bagel's worth of it. We recommend ordering ahead of time on weekends and holidays. Otherwise, the line takes about 30 minutes on a busy weekend morning.PopUp Bagels6 locations in NYC (some in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Long Island, NY).Ashley's new favorite bagel spot in the city!!They sell the bagels in increments of 3. For example, the smallest order is 3 bagels and 1 schmear, which is great for 2 people and costs $12.The menu is simple and they only have 5 bagel flavors (Plain, Sesame, Everything, Salt, Poppyseed). Then they have plain cream cheese, scallion, seasonal cream cheese, butter, and vegan schmear options. It's the softest and freshest bagels I've ever had, and also the best scallion cream cheese I've ever had.Pick-A-BagelPick a bagel is a solid option, and they have a few locations around the city. We like their bagels with cream cheese and their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on everything.The ordering process can be a little chaotic, so be prepared for that.Russ & DaughtersSince 1914, this landmark NYC institution has been continuously owned and operated by four generations of the Russ family. A classic bagel establishment serving a variety of bagels, lox, pickles, and desserts. It's been open for more than a century and has 2 locations on the Lower East Side, one in Hudson Yards, and one in Brooklyn.Getting a platter can be fun if you want to sit down and have a true experience with a variety of spreads, breads, and smoked fish. If you want a bagel with lox, plan on it costing around $20. This place has a wide variety of options. You can get a regular bagel and cream cheese or you could buy caviar. I sampled the pastrami-cured smoked salmon, and it was the best of my entire life. Apollo BagelsWe haven't been here, but it is a very popular spot. Every photo, video, and review I've seen looks amazing. Only 3 bagel options (plain, everything, sesame). From what I've heard and seen online, plan on waiting in line for 30 min.General Bagel Tips-Each bagel shop has a different ordering process. Follow what others are doing and you should be fine.-Bagel shops are usually a good place to try a black and white cookie.-If you go to a deli or bodega, you can get a cheaper BEC option that will still be delicious, but it won't be made on a good bagel. -Bagel shop coffee is usually mediocre. It's fine and will do the job, but if you are a coffee connoisseur, be warned.You'll Have to Check It Out - SugarfishFairly priced, delicious omakase sushi. Check it out here.

Business travel – glamorous on Instagram, chaotic in real life. In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, host Nicky Christmas revisits one of her most-requested topics: how to expertly plan and manage business travel for your executive. Originally recorded at her first public speaking event back in 2012 (or maybe 2013 – who's counting?), this session has been fully updated for 2025 with all the latest tools, AI tricks, and tech tips.Whether your executive is flying long-haul or hopping on a train to a regional office, you'll learn how to build a bulletproof itinerary that keeps them calm, collected, and exactly where they need to be. From pre-flight prep to worst-case scenario plans, we're covering it all.Oh, and yes – we still print the itinerary. Even in 2025.In this episode, we cover:Why travel planning is still one of the most essential EA skillsSetting clear expectations before your executive sets foot on a planeQuestions to ask before you book anything (trust us, these are game changers)What the purpose of the trip tells you about how to plan itHow to build an itinerary your executive will actually useFour essentials every itinerary needs – plus the added extras that make all the differenceWhy paper copies still matter (yes, really)Who should get a copy of the itinerary – it's not just your exec!How to prep for delays, jet lag, and all those unexpected curveballsThe best AI and travel tech tools to streamline the process in 2025One final Google Maps trick that will make you look like a total travel genius

Greg Larson walked away from everything—social media, smartphones, even Google Maps. No internet, no distractions, just a landline, a library, and a deeper kind of Presence. We talk about the loneliness that broke him, the silence that healed him, and the spiritual clarity that came when he finally unplugged.

This week, we explore why reptiles need supplements to stay healthy, from calcium to vitamin D3. Then, we blindly rank popular (and questionable) proposal ideas, followed by a showdown between Google Maps and Apple Maps to see which one really gets you there best. It's a mix of science, romance, and tech—with plenty of hot takes along the way.Get early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://my-store-efee6d.creator-spring.comFollow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/- https://scratchbycmtravels.com/- https://www.redlineshipping.com/- https://coldbloodedcaffeine.com/

Register today before we reach virtual capacity! [3:33] On with the show! Our guest this week is Megan Smalter. She is a Market Development Executive at Lloyd's and the former Chicago RIMS Chapter Rising Risk Professional Committee President. For her many achievements, she was named RIMS Rising Star for 2025. [3:48] If you were at RISKWORLD 2025, you were lucky enough to see her accept the award onstage. We're going to talk all about her contributions to the risk profession during her 9-to-5 and beyond and delve into what is a pivotal moment in her career. [4:04] Everyone listening, especially young risk professionals with big career decisions ahead of them, will get some fresh perspective. [4:14] Interview! Megan Smalter, welcome to RIMScast! [4:35] Megan Smalter talks about the honor of receiving the RIMS Rising Start Award with her entire team present as well as her family. It was a super special moment for her. [5:01] Megan grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, so she says she's from Illinois. She lived in downtown Chicago for five years before relocating. [6:04] The awards ceremonies were scattered throughout the RISKWORLD 2025 week. Megan's award was presented right before the triple threat of keynotes. Megan and her parents enjoyed the keynotes. [6:50] Megan went from being a private company management liability underwriter at CNA Insurance in Chicago to joining Lloyd's as a Market Development Executive for the Americas and relocated to New York City in December. [7:22] Megan describes changing jobs and moving. It's been interesting. She went from being established in an insurance company where she knew everyone and knew her role to starting over, new and fresh. It's exciting, being in a new environment and company. [7:54] Megan says it comes with growing pains. Learning the tasks, trying to see the fun and excitement in them, and settling down in a new region has been super interesting and a great learning curve. [8:25] Megan was previously in the retail space. Now having exposure to the E&S wholesale world and more of the international space has been fascinating. It's a direction she wants to take her career, which inspired her to take this new role. It's been gratifying so far. [9:02] Megan says it has been bittersweet, leaving the Chicago RIMS Chapter. She first got involved as a student at the Katie School of Insurance at Illinois State. There, she met one of her greatest mentors, Theresa Severson. They've stayed in touch over the years. [9:29] After being involved as a student, she joined Chicago RIMS as a Membership Committee member and became Education Chair, then Vice President, and then President, right before she moved. There's a lot to say goodbye to. Starting over after being deeply involved is a switch. [9:58] Megan's teammates joked that she should carry the award around the RISKWORLD conference the entire time. [10:34] Megan believes the risk profession allows for flexibility to adapt. Everyone in the industry and at Lloyd's is keen to help and provide their experience. It's been a great way for Megan to learn about a new company culture and a new segment of the industry. [11:08] Justin notes that most people are not going to have one job for their entire career, although he knows one person at RIMS who has been there since 1981 and somebody at Spencer who goes back even further. [11:29] Justin adds that risk is a profession where there is such a camaraderie among the professionals that they will give you time to adapt. They will extend that olive branch. [11:49] Megan thinks it's important to give yourself grace and allow yourself to recognize that you're not going to know everything on the first day. You may jump into something new and think “I've got this,” but things like that take time. Give yourself grace. [12:25] At the RIMS Chicago Chapter, the energy in the group drove Megan to get involved and come up the ranks. At the start, event attendance was low. One successful event was the Summer Mixer with the Young Risk Professionals group and the Insurance Associates group. [13:18] There were over 250 folks who attended. Seeing the demand of young professionals to network and get together on an afternoon was an awesome experience. Megan is thankful she got to be part of it. [14:25] A big part of the Chicago RIMS initiative was to have separate membership events, education events, and social events. It's easy to get people to come to social events but education events can be tougher. They tried to keep them interesting. [14:42] One educational event Megan found valuable was the MBA Information Night with a panel of four. Two represented RM&I MBA programs; two were alumni of RM&I MBA programs. To hear from them and get their experiences and advice about continuing education was great. [15:15] They hosted Negotiation Workshops and Book Clubs. One book was Atomic Habits by James Clear. Megan has kept a few key takeaways from that in her day-to-day routine. They do a variety of events through RRP. It's nice to see the support of that with the members. [15:54] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On June 5th, Zywave joins us to discuss “Today's Escalating Risk Trajectory: What's the Cause and What's the Solution?”. [15:59] On June 17th, Origami Risk returns to present “Strategic Risk Financing in an Unstable Economy: Leveraging Technology for Efficiency and Cost Reduction”. [16:10] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/Webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [16:21] About the Spencer Educational Foundation's Grants program. Spencer's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [16:38] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [16:59] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's General Grants through the Programs tab of SpencerEd.org. [17:09] Let's Return to Our Conversation with RIMS 2025 Rising Star, Megan Smalter!  [17:18] As a Market Development Executive at Lloyd's, Megan engages with key trading partners, whether retail or wholesale brokers in the U.S., making sure that they know how to access Lloyd's in the London market. [17:51] Megan engages with insurance carriers who are interested in coming onto the Lloyd's platform, managing agents, excess lines associations in different states, and universities (one of Megan's favorite aspects of her role). [18:11] Since Megan was a student who studied risk management and insurance, she loves helping out with the next generation and trying to pull talent into the risk field. [18:19] Megan also promotes the Lloyd's Lab and helps with the Lloyd's Boot Camp Programs in Chicago and San Diego. She has a multi-faceted role and gets to touch a lot of aspects of Lloyd's which has been interesting. [18:45] Megan is part of a team representing the Americas, with people in Toronto, Canada, Miami, Florida, and Brazil. [19:10] Justin and Megan spoke in April for the article in the Awards Edition of RIMS Risk Management magazine, which may be out now. Megan mentioned that she is a calculated risk-taker. [19:38] Having a background in underwriting has helped Megan to think of questions to ask whenever a different situation or scenario has been proposed. She walks through the different exposures and thinks through things that the Average Joe probably wouldn't. [20:03] Megan says, the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. Moving to Lloyd's in New York is an example of a high-risk, high-reward scenario that worked for Megan. She had only been to New York City once, for a conference. [20:30] When Megan looked for an apartment, she signed, sight-unseen, after a video call with the REALTOR® and a search of the area on Google Maps. She took a leap of faith and hoped for the best, but expected for the worst. It turned out in her favor. It's the biggest risk she has taken. [20:58] Megan's career goal for now is locking into Lloyd's and getting to know the nitty-gritty of the “Lloyd's-isms.” Learning the niche aspects of what Lloyd's is, the capital structure, and all the different facets of what Lloyd's has to offer to articulate that to its trading partners. [21:37] Megan is a success story, dating back to the Risk Manager on Campus program, which is how she got hooked. Not every school has a Risk Manager on Campus program.  [21:53] Megan advises young students who are considering the risk management and insurance industry, first to ask questions and ask for introductions. If there's someone who has a role that you're interested in, reach out. Everyone in the industry Megan has interacted with is so nice. [22:30] Especially get to know folks who do jobs outside of what you're considering. If you have an internship in property, get to know the liability folks and the cyber folks, the claims adjusters, and anyone else in the company, and learn what they do. [22:49] The career path opportunities are what drew Megan to the risk management field and how you can always pivot into a different segment of the industry. That keeps it exciting. [23:07] Special thanks again to RIMS 2025 Rising Star, Megan Smalter. You can read more about her in our RIMS RISKWORLD Show Daily Coverage. A link is on this page. Of course, be on the lookout for the RIMS Risk Management magazine Special Awards Edition 2025. [23:27] More award winners will be on RIMScast soon.

Everything you need to know about this cruiser-based, crowd-sourced, social app. We rely on it every day! Summary When you've arrived at a new anchorage, how do you figure out how to find necessities? Especially if you're out of range of The Boat Galley cruising guides? After all, there are places where cruising guides don't exist. Luckily I have a great resource to share.  Cruising is more than dolphins and beautiful sunsets. Sometimes, you gotta get stuff done, like buying groceries or diesel. Or maybe you're just craving a restaurant meal or want a fun day off the boat.  You have a few options for finding information. You can read guides and hope the information isn't out of date. You can review Google Maps. You can even dinghy around to other boaters and ask. They're all helpful resources. And the last might even introduce you to a new friend. We rely on the app NoForeignLand.com. No information is hidden behind a paywall. There are no pop-up ads. You can support them on Patreon. But they don't sell user's information. Social features include tracking other boats. Information is provided by cruisers for cruisers. One feature even allows you to call for information from others directly on the app. Created by cruisers for cruisers, the information is relevant to our needs. I highly recommend it, no matter where you're traveling. For more details, listen to the full podcast or check out No Foreign Land - An Excellent Resource for Cruisers.

On this week's episode, Nathan and Luke are joined by Aftermath's newest regular contributor, former Polygon senior reporter Nicole Carpenter to discuss her tenure at the freshly gutted games media institution, as well as how she got into journalism in the first place. She also tells us about the time she got to speak to the voice of Barbie for a story, and she started speaking in character without even being asked. You love to hear it. Then we delve into the news of the week: First, the community around Google Maps-based location guessing game GeoGuessr protested the game's inclusion in the Saudi-backed Esports World Cup by blacking out most of the game's most popular maps… and it worked? Despite the prevailing mentality that corporate interests and oil money will overcome all, GeoGuessr's developers relented and pulled out of the event. We talk about the ways in which this situation was unique, but conclude that it can still serve as an inspiration to other gaming communities unnerved by the sudden presence of a sportswashing festival on their annual calendars. Then we move on to Grow A Garden, a Roblox game Nicole wrote about that has more concurrent players than anything on Steam. Why is it so popular? And what is Roblox offering young people that more traditional games don't? Lastly, we accept an offer from the King Of All Cosmos and transform Aftermath into a giant ball company.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Luke Plunkett, & special guest Nicole Carpenter- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

Charting Your Course: A Business Navigation System That Aligns Strategy, Intuition & Purpose In this episode, we dive deep with Tim Dwyer, a visionary who has spent over three decades developing a true "Google Maps for business"—a navigation system that integrates logical strategy, heart-centered leadership, and deep intuition. Tim's entrepreneurial spark ignited at age 12 during a petrol strike in Australia, selling coffee to stranded drivers. That ingenuity evolved into a career dedicated to helping leaders and organizations find their true north in complex business environments. Emotional Intelligence: The Leadership Edge We Can't Ignore Tim and I explore how tapping into our emotional intelligence is not just a personal growth strategy—it's essential for leadership effectiveness. When decisions flow from inner alignment, clarity and momentum follow. When there's chaos? That's your signpost that something's off. Tim shares his emotional mapping system, while I add insight on how untrained managers often default to poor leadership patterns due to lack of emotional grounding and practical guidance. Emotional Ownership: The Cornerstone of Healthy Work Cultures We take an honest look at the drama that unfolds when leaders deflect emotional responsibility. Tim breaks down how full ownership of our emotional responses dismantles blame and invites maturity into the workplace. I couldn't agree more—teams thrive when leaders stop pointing fingers and start showing up with accountability and self-awareness. Foresight in Leadership: Seeing the Iceberg Before You Hit It I share a recent conversation with an organization considering a bold move they may not be ready for—an all-too-common scenario. Using an oceanic analogy, I explain why leaders must develop foresight to navigate risk and avoid future burnout. It's not about playing it safe—it's about making sure your ship is seaworthy before you launch into deeper waters. Capability Development: Growing Beyond Your Comfort Zone Tim outlines the predictable stages of business growth and the leadership capacity needed at each level. Whether you're leading a team of 10 or scaling to 1,000, the same principles apply: sharpen your skills, solidify your culture, and develop internal navigational systems that support sustainable growth. And yes, this applies whether your team is made up of employees, freelancers, or AI tools—culture and capability remain your anchors. Curiosity, Reflection & Purpose: A Blueprint for Leadership Renewal We talk about the often-overlooked power of self-reflection. I encourage listeners—whether you're on the front lines or in the C-suite—to step back, get curious, and revisit past experiences with grace, not judgment. The goal? To realign with your purpose and reignite your leadership impact. Distraction is the disease—curiosity is the cure. Authentic Culture: More Than Ping-Pong Tables and Mission Statements Tim shares a powerful case study of a software company that had great perks but lacked true cultural alignment. Once the leadership reconnected with their original vision and re-established meaningful cultural agreements, collaboration and energy returned. The result? A culture that magnetized both top talent and ideal customers. As I often say—culture isn't what you write on the wall, it's how your people feel every day they walk through the door. Tim's Upcoming Book: A Must-Read for Every Leader Navigating Change We wrap with a preview of Tim's upcoming book, launching August 2025. Packed with stories, case studies, and actionable strategies, this book is designed for businesses of every size—from startups to scaling giants. You can pre-order your copy now at tolemy.com. If you're serious about leading with clarity and growing without losing your soul, this one's for you.

After spending 10 years in Trinidad and Tobago searching for the “modern Caribbean” lifestyle I had always envisioned—one that combined island living with tech-driven convenience—I finally found it in the most unexpected place: Thailand. In this episode, I take you on a deep dive into how Southern Thailand, with its breathtaking beaches, advanced digital infrastructure, and seamless logistics, delivered the lifestyle I had long been chasing in the Caribbean. I break down the day-to-day experience of living in the Thai islands, the technologies that make life frictionless, and the surprising lessons that CARICOM and Caribbean entrepreneurs can learn from Asia's playbook. This is not a vacation story. It's a blueprint for a new kind of island living—one that's possible when innovation meets paradise. Key Takeaways: 1. Island Living Doesn't Have to Mean Backward Systems Most of us associate tropical living with slow internet, limited services, and poor infrastructure—but Thailand proves otherwise. From 5G mobile service and QR code payments (even with street vendors) to affordable accommodations and logistics that run like clockwork, Thailand shows what's possible when islands prioritize digital convenience. 2. Technology Is the Bridge That Makes Integration Seamless Living in a non-English-speaking country with a different alphabet could've been a massive barrier—but it wasn't. Thanks to Google Maps, Translate, YouTube, and local super apps like Grab, Gowabi, Lazada, and Moreta Pay, I've been able to work, travel, and live stress-free across Thailand's islands. Technology has removed the friction from daily life. 3. This Should Be the Blueprint for the Caribbean The lifestyle I've found in Thailand—accessible, affordable, and supported by tech—shouldn't feel like a fantasy for Caribbean residents. CARICOM nations can take inspiration from Southeast Asia by improving logistics, embracing mobile-first solutions, and building infrastructure that supports both residents and tourists alike. We don't need to wait for luxury resorts—we need to build smarter systems from the ground up.   Learn more about building your digital presence at KeronRose.com or follow the podcast at Digipreneur.FM the website.   

Today, we're diving into a super actionable strategy to help boost your Google reviews quickly and easily. If you're a clinic owner, chiropractor, physical therapist, acupuncturist, or any local business looking to stand out in search results, stick around—you won't want to miss this!So, what's the big news?

In this episode, I sit down with Page Crahan, who leads Tapestry, an audacious effort to “make the grid visible.” We explore how disparate, scattered data sources can be stitched together by AI into a coherent realtime map of the grid, to slash operation and maintenance costs and speed up the grid interconnection process.

진행자: 간형우, Chelsea ProctorWhy Google Maps is still broken in South Korea: It might not be about national security anymore기사 요약: 국내 지도 정보를 쉽게 내어줄 수 없는 한국 정부와 업계의 입장과 복잡하게 맞물린 구글의 이해 관계[1] It's 2025, and if you try to get walking directions in Seoul using Google Maps, you will still run into the same dead end: the "Can't find a way there" screen.dead end: 막다른 길[2] For many tourists, it's both frustrating and baffling.

South Korea has strict laws that block the export of high-precision map data, supposedly to prevent misuse by hostile actors.precision: 정확함hostile: 적대적인[4] But in 2025, that argument is wearing thin, and a more fundamental tension is coming into focus: Should Google be allowed to freely commercialize taxpayer-funded public data without meeting the standards that domestic companies must follow?wear thin: 약해지다commercialize: 상업화하다기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10487791

Have you ever wondered how some service businesses seem to dominate their local markets while others struggle to get seen? The secret might be simpler than you think – and it all starts with how you show up on Google. Today's guest breaks down what really works in local SEO, how to increase your visibility without increasing your workload, and why finding your niche might be the smartest move you can make. Bradley Benner is a leading local SEO expert and the founder of multiple businesses, including TreeCareHQ, Semantic Mastery, Semantic Links, and Semantic SEO. With over a decade of experience in agency building, lead generation, and SEO coaching, Bradley helps both business owners and marketing professionals create systems that convert clicks into clients. Why Local SEO Still Matters Even with the rise of AI-driven search, Google Maps still drives the majority of local leads – nearly 70%, according to Bradley. But most business owners aren't optimizing their Google Business Profiles the right way. From posting geo-tagged photos to writing location-specific content, Bradley shares actionable strategies that help local businesses get seen and generate results. He also emphasizes why local businesses should aim to rank in both Maps and traditional search results. It's not just about visibility – it's about building long-term authority and creating a safety net when algorithms shift. Why Niching Down Changes Everything In 2020, Bradley made a pivotal shift by focusing solely on tree service contractors – a decision that helped him streamline his processes, scale faster, and build a thriving local agency. By specializing, he was able to reuse assets, simplify his marketing, and generate predictable results for his clients. Today, his white-label SEO agencies serve other marketers looking for efficient, proven systems. Whether you're a service-based business owner or a marketing pro supporting them, this episode is packed with practical SEO insights and long-term strategy. Enjoy this episode with Bradley Benner… Soundbytes 8:20-8:34 “Just because we may have a skill like being able to know how to get stuff to rank in Google, that doesn't mean that you're going to be effective at being able to convert that skill into money – not just for yourself as the SEO professional, but for the business that you're selling that service to.” 10:14-10:34 “In 2020 I niched down. I finally decided to ignore anybody else other than tree contractors from my own local SEO agency. And boy, that was the biggest thing, the best thing I could have ever done. Because it simplified my business significantly from the workload.” Quotes “If you can build enough brand strength, you can typically rank well, even if you have terrible SEO.” “About 70% of the leads that are generated from Google Search come from maps.” “One of the most valuable things that they can do is just train their technicians to take three to five photos from a mobile device.” “AI is changing search behavior fast. If your business isn't feeding the model, you're invisible.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://semanticmastery.com/ Connect with Bradley Benner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleybenner/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?
