How do you stay organized with your social media content without spending hours every week? In this video, I'm sharing three simple ways I organize my content – plus the backup system I use to make sure I never lose what I create.Having a simple content organization system can make such a difference, especially if you're a real estate agent or small business owner creating your own social media content.I'll walk you through how I keep a running list of content ideas so I always have something to record, how I organize Canva with folders and reusable templates, and how I use albums on my phone to keep my videos, photos and other assets easy to find.Plus, I'm sharing my monthly backup system. At the end of each month, I move my content off my phone and save it to Dropbox. You could also use Google Drive, iCloud or whatever system works best for you.Remember – social media is rented ground. We don't own Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or YouTube, which is why it's so important to save and own the content you work hard to create.You don't need a complicated system. You just need a simple one you'll actually use!00:00 Content Organization Overview00:07 Keep a Running List of Content Ideas00:33 Organize Canva With Folders and Templates01:30 Organize Videos and Assets With Phone Albums02:04 Back Up and Own Your Content02:39 Wrap Up and Next StepsCONNECT WITH KATIE:

In the next episode of Pursue Your Passion, host Tyler Kamerman sits down with the show's long-time editor and producer Joe Emmons as he steps away to chase a brand-new season of calling. Reflecting on over four years of producing the show, business ownership, and worship leading, Joe shares his journey through a "season of pruning" - cutting back good commitments to create space for God's best. Together, Tyler and Joe unpack the heavy weight of perfectionism, the trap of imposter syndrome, and why obedience sometimes looks like a bold, resounding "no."  The conversation dives deep into Joe's emerging vision for music production, his heart for mentoring the next generation of worship leaders, and the dream of creating a "Worship Barn" - a physical launching pad for creative believers. From the power of stepping into your unique identity to accepting that "done is better than perfect," this episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom for anyone sitting on unreleased dreams or wrestling with their next big transition.  Key Takeaways Saying "No" Is an Act of Obedience: Letting go of good opportunities isn't a failure; it's necessary pruning to make room for what God is growing next. Done Over Perfect: Perfectionism and imposter syndrome will keep your best work locked away in Google Drive. Finish the project and put it out there! You Are the Only "You": Nobody else carries your exact mix of story, flaws, and perspective—embrace your unique footprint instead of copying others. Build a Launchpad for Others: True passion expands into community; consider how your gifts can mentor, equip, and create space for the next generation. Embrace the Discomfort: Growth doesn't happen in the cozy zone—learning to sit in uncomfortable seasons is a crucial skill for pursuing your calling.

In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner continues the operating system series by laying out the folder structure that holds a business's documentation. The previous episode dealt with organizing what already exists. This one gives those assets a permanent home, whether the company runs on Google Drive, a Microsoft shared drive, or Dropbox.Bradley walks through the four business principles of clarity, alignment, team, and execution, and the three playbooks under each, for twelve playbooks in total. He explains why a playbook, a system, and a process mean different things. He also shows how to build and number the folders so they sort in order, and gives examples of what belongs inside the marketing, attract A-players, and culture playbooks.This episode moves past folder names and into access. What good is a document nobody on the team can find? Could you pull up how the business sells or handles money the moment someone asks? And would your team know where to look without asking you? If you want every asset in your business to have a place your team can actually find, this episode is for you.Join us in the free Circle community and hop on the email list to get practical tools, resources, trainings, and updates on what we're working on next.https://blueprintos.com/assets/ ResourcesListen to the previous episode in this series, Marie Kondo Your Digital FilesThanks to our sponsorsCoach P ConsultingCoach P found great success as an insurance agent and agency owner, leading a large and stable team of top-performing professionals.

What is the history of the New Testament writings and how were they determined to be viewed as Scripture? Are things lost in translation that would impact our core doctrines?On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at a high level view of the reliability of the New Testament. We look through what the Bible says about itself in this regard, as well as other secular historical proofs, archeology, and science to prove why the New Testament is incredibly reliable and something that we can hold onto with confidence as we read it today!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

You know exactly what to say. You know how to record it. The video is shot, edited, and sitting in your Google Drive right now, and you still haven't posted it. That's the exposure gap, and the fix is two words: post it ugly.In this episode I break down why your finished videos die of old age in a folder, why perfectionism is almost always fear wearing a nicer outfit, and the one rule that gets your content into the world. This is the final part of the series, and it's the one that actually makes you hit publish.If you're a coach who keeps telling yourself the hook needs work or the brand isn't ready, this is the permission and the system to press post.Here's what I get into:Why "I want it more professional" is usually code for I'm scared to be seenThe five fears hiding inside the exposure gapWhy you build confidence by surviving the post, not by planning itThe 100-view rule that lowers the risk of hitting publishThe four-point checklist for post it ugly versus post garbageI'm not telling you to throw slop at your audience. The opposite. This is about knowing the difference between an imperfect video worth posting and a lazy one that isn't, then shipping the first kind every single week.So here's the takeaway. A beautifully edited video sitting in your Google Drive is worthless. Post it ugly, get real feedback, and get better in public.

Get the free episode companion guide here A client I'll call Jess sat across from me and had no idea she'd made $16,825 for her practice in four weeks, because she'd never been shown what numbers to track. This episode walks through exactly how that happened, and what it means for anyone in private practice who wants a dependable way to bring in the right kind of enquiries without living on social media all day. Jess came to Momentum 90 wanting help filling her diary, and when we looked closely, the problem had nothing to do with effort. She simply didn't have a lead magnet for private practice that was doing its job properly. Once we looked at her existing freebie for therapists and adjusted a few key pieces, she shared it in two Facebook communities and on her own website, and the enquiries and bookings followed. The episode covers how to create a lead magnet for private practice that people want rather than something generic, and the lead magnet mistakes therapists make over and over: content that could have come straight off Google or ChatGPT, design pulled from a template with the Canva Sans font never changed, text running edge to edge with no margins, and PDFs that open in Google Drive with no opt-in and no email sequence behind them. There's also a section on why interactive lead magnet ideas are outperforming the standard downloadable PDF right now, and why building a private practice marketing Australia strategy around one or two well made freebies can grow your audience while you sleep. If you've been wondering how to grow your therapy practice email list, or you're after lead magnet ideas for psychologists and counsellors who want to know how to get clients without social media, this one walks through the whole thing, including the difference between a PDF lead magnet vs interactive lead magnet and why that difference is showing up in conversions. If you want help figuring out your own freebie strategy, come and join Claude for Therapists, my Skool community, at https://www.skool.com/brooklyn/about, where there's a seven day free trial and a business manifestation coaching app built around this exact approach. Or if you'd rather talk it through one to one, you can book a consultation with me at https://calendar.app.google/KqBm3VEyVvUhCgSb7. Keywords used: lead magnet for private practice, freebie for therapists, how to create a lead magnet for private practice, lead magnet mistakes therapists make, interactive lead magnet ideas, how to grow your therapy practice email list, private practice marketing Australia, lead magnet ideas for psychologists and counsellors, how to get clients without social media, PDF lead magnet vs interactive lead magnet Mini FAQ: Q: What is a lead magnet for private practice? A: It's a free resource offered in exchange for an email address rather than money, and its job is to bring the right people into your world so you can build trust before they ever book with you. Q: How much can a lead magnet earn for a private practice? A: One Momentum 90 client generated $16,825 in bookings in four weeks from a single lead magnet shared in two Facebook communities and on her website. Q: Why do most therapist freebies not get downloaded? A: Usually it comes down to weak design, no clear value shown on the cover, and generic content that reads like something already available on Google or ChatGPT. Q: Should a lead magnet for private practice be a PDF? A: A PDF still works if it's fillable online rather than printable, but interactive formats are converting better right now because people expect to click, type, and get a response rather than just read. Q: How often should a freebie be promoted to keep working? A: It needs to be shared regularly, even just thirty seconds in a story or a post, because a freebie left alone on a website will convert far more slowly than one that's actively being shared.

Kevin demonstrates ways you can adopt AI in the next 100 daysSummary of the PodcastOverviewEpisode 2 of a mini-series within The Next 100 Days Podcast where Kevin Appleby and Graham Arrowsmith discuss how AI is influencing their workPre-recording conversation touched on football transfers (Nick Pope, James Trafford) before the formal recording beganKevin identified four or five distinct areas of AI usage he wanted to coverClaude as a Personal AI Assistant (Pre-Call Preparation)Kevin's primary personal AI tool is Claude Cowork, which he connects to email, Notion, HubSpot, calendar, Dropbox, and Google DriveUse case: 10 minutes before a client call, ask Claude to summarise all recent interactions across those sources — it surfaces outstanding promises, discussion topics, and what to raiseClaude can also draft emails into Gmail drafts (not sent), giving a ~90% ready version the user can refineGraham noted concern about integrating a Synology server; Kevin noted most personal data lives in Dropbox or Google Drive and Claude can connect to bothAI Agents Running AutomaticallyKevin runs two scheduled agents without manual triggeringAgent 1 (daily): Scans calendar 30 days out and checks whether each diary entry has a corresponding task in Notion; creates missing tasks automatically, including a Notion page for notesAgent 2 (weekly): Scans upcoming 30 days for GrowCFO Show or Next 100 Days podcast recordings, researches the guest online, and appends notes (bio, website links, suggested questions) to the relevant Notion taskKevin deliberately ignores AI-suggested questions to preserve natural curiosity in conversation, but acknowledges suggested questions are useful for solo-host formatsThe same agent concept applies to client/partner meetings: an agent could automatically pull last interaction notes before any key meetingAdopt AI in Finance Operations (GrowCFO Context)GrowCFO's current quarterly theme is Intelligent Finance Operations — covering the end-to-end finance cycle from purchase orders to final accountsThree-way matching: AI can match purchase orders, goods receipt notes, and invoices automatically; if all match, the invoice is paid without human interventionFraud detection: AI spots anomalies far more effectively than manual reviewReporting: AI can generate board reports and dashboards from accounting systems; demonstrated in a GrowCFO webinar with tech partner Round Treasury using ClaudeKey value: AI removes grunt work so finance professionals can focus on what the numbers mean, not just crunching themAI's Impact on Finance JobsSignificant job displacement expected in transactional/lower-level finance roles; less so for senior finance business partners whose work is relationship-basedChallenge: AI often saves portions of multiple people's jobs rather than eliminating whole roles, making headcount reduction difficult — a pattern observed in shared services projects long before AISupply of finance professionals is falling, particularly FP&A specialists in the US; AI may initially ease recruitment pressure rather than cut headcountMost finance teams are still at the "chatting with ChatGPT" stage, not yet using agentic or Cowork-style toolsA live example of a fully agentic debt-chasing system: an AI agent that checks the debtors ledger, identifies overdue accounts, calls customers, and holds an intelligent conversation about outstanding invoicesAI Connectivity LimitationsClaude's current integration with Xero is poor — only capable of producing basic debtor reports rather than actionable overdue listsCopilot and Gemini do not support Dropbox connectivity, limiting their use in Kevin's personal setupHallucination risk is reduced when AI operates within a well-defined, high-quality data "cocoon" — the importance of a single source of truthFaster Close and Rolling Forecasts"Faster close" — producing monthly accounts quickly rather than 10–15 days after month-end — has been a finance aspiration for 20+ years and AI now makes it achievableRolling forecasts with multiple scenarios (e.g., 0%, 25%, 50% tariff scenarios) can be modelled and run instantly by AI rather than taking weeks to buildAI Governance in FinanceSegregation of duties must be replicated in AI workflows: different agents or human approvers for setting up suppliers, authorising accounts, and making paymentsA single "super AI agent" handling everything end-to-end is not yet appropriate or auditableUsing AI for Research & White PapersKevin used ChatGPT Deep Research to read ~30 published documents from major consultancies (PwC, Deloitte, EY, Accenture, BCG, Forrester, etc.) on AI in finance ops in 15–20 minutes — work that previously would have taken two graduate trainees a fortnightHe gave both ChatGPT and Claude the same prompt and found ChatGPT produced a better overall result, though Claude surfaced some content ChatGPT missed; he combined bothAI is excellent at generating and researching text but structuring the final document, choosing diagrams, and making it consumable remains a human taskVirtual Board / AI AvatarsA GrowCFO partner CFO used AI avatars of their board members to anticipate board reactions to finance reports before presentingKevin tested a "virtual advisory board" in AI, including public figures like Michael Heppell, and received useful diverse perspectivesThe deeper goal: frame board materials to open up discussion rather than trigger defensive reactionsKAIOS — Kevin's AI Operating System (Personal Project)Started from a ChatGPT conversation: "What if everything you've been taught about time management is a lie?" — leading to the insight that most productivity systems just create more tasks rather than freedomEvolved into KAIOS (Kevin's AI Operating System): a Dropbox-based knowledge structure containing Kevin's values, StrengthsFinder profile, career history, stories, and frameworks — accessible by any AI model via instructions stored within the structureA book outline, introduction, and chapter frameworks have been drafted with ChatGPT's help; the project paused in favour of building KAIOS first so the book has genuine personal stories and IP embeddedGraham suggested this could be Kevin's biggest career opportunity — analogous to how MeclabsAI has built a multi-million pound business around systematised marketing knowledgeKevin noted he prefers positioning himself as an expert using AI in finance rather than as an AI expert per se, given how fast the field movesCareer Reflection & Future DirectionBoth hosts reflected on the retirement vs. continued work question; Kevin expressed enthusiasm for staying engaged with AI developments and not wanting to reach the point where technology no longer makes senseKevin acknowledged competitors in the AI-for-finance space (e.g., Nicholas Boucher's AI Finance Club) but sees his differentiation in applying deep finance and personal IP rather than competing directlyGrowCFO Show is approaching episodeThe Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from The UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

In the last couple years, a new frontier has opened up in the culture of Odd Fellowship: music.  There has always been music by, for, and about Odd Fellows, but a new group of creators is using the tools of artificial intelligence to create songs for the Order.  Ainslie, Toby, and Meredith talk to Amanda Robinson, PGM of Minnesota, Tommy Howe of Palacky Lodge #630 of Illinois, and Mike Duminiak, DGM of West Virginia and past co-host of the Three Links Odd Cast.  What follows is a wide-ranging conversation about the emerging new culture of Odd Fellowship and how new music is contributing to that.  The Shoutout goes to Crescent Encampment #14 of Alberta for performing the Patriarchal Degrees for seven new Patriarchs at the Montana Grand Lodge Session with the assistance of PSGM Calabrese.  In the Odd Podge, Mike previews his upcoming episode of "Odd Fellows Today" and his new books; Ainslie promotes the impending Odd Market; Toby gives thanks to PGM Laurel Delony for a ride to the auto parts store; Tommy talks about his "pretend" band; and Meredith teases a possible future show with the new lodge in Pennsylvania.Amanda's music is available on her YouTube playlist.Tommy's music is available on his YouTube playlist.Mike's music is available on Google Drive.

Nueva temporada, mismos protagonistas Empieza la temporada once de potencia.pro (capítulo 335, con rima incluida) tras un verano sin grabar juntos. Miguel Ángel Terrón y Mariano Pérez vuelven a hablar de lo de siempre: cómo mejorar tu negocio con WordPress e IA… y de «cozas», que son otras cosas. Novedad de temporada: la página principal de potencia.pro está rediseñada enterita (bueno, enterita salvo alguna página suelta como la de la gaceta, que sigue igual que siempre). Ahí se explica todo lo que hace el proyecto, los plugins disponibles y demás. Y si quieres estar al día: El grupo de Telegram: potencia.pro/telegram La gaceta/newsletter, cuya escaleta ahora la escribe la IA: potencia.pro/gaceta Un saludo cariñoso de paso a los compañeros de otros podcasts de WordPress en español, entre ellos Pablo y Ana de Un billete a chattanooga, y a Nahuai Badiola y Esther Solà. Que aunque por ahí se diga que son el único podcast de WordPress en español, basta buscar en Google para ver que hay tres o cuatro. Nosotros, del montón, tan felices. El culebrón: echan a Matt y vuelve dos días después La gran noticia post-verano: destituyeron a Matt Mullenweg como CEO de Automattic, la empresa detrás de WordPress.com, WooCommerce y compañía. Lo curioso es lo poco que se sabe, porque los únicos que estaban dentro no han dado declaraciones. Lo que ha trascendido: El consejo de administración (unas 7-8 personas) votó darle a Matt un permiso retribuido, una especie de baja pagada. Todos votaron a favor menos uno. Pusieron al director financiero como CEO en funciones. Matt asegura que se lo comunicaron 50 minutos antes de empezar la reunión, y pidió tiempo para hablar con sus abogados. Dos días después, algo pasó: Matt volvió a ser CEO y se marcharon todos los que habían votado a favor. No como venganza —insiste— sino por pérdida de confianza. Después publicó un anuncio buscando administradores de sistemas para, según dijo, «sacar sus cosas del servidor de Automattic» (probablemente su web personal y lo relacionado con .org). Terreno de pura especulación. Mary Hubbard, responsable de WordPress.org, comentó en el Slack que sus responsabilidades allí seguían intactas aunque Matt no fuera CEO, y que estaba encantada de que volviera. Otra pista interesante: se anunció el equipo que sacará WordPress 7.2 (previsto para mediados/finales de noviembre), y Matt figura como líder de la distribución, algo que no hacía desde hacía tiempo. Ha vuelto con energía renovada. Cloudflare con WordPress: lo gratis y lo de pago El bloque técnico va sobre Cloudflare, del que confesamos estar enamorados. Está muy de moda últimamente, en parte porque cada fin de semana la Liga bloquea rangos de IP para perseguir las retransmisiones piratas de fútbol, y a veces cae por medio alguna web legítima que comparte IP con contenido pirata. Un matiz importante: si tu web comparte IP con piratas no significa que seas pirata, y la Liga solo debería bloquear IPs concretas señaladas, no todas. Aun así, es un tema polémico. Más allá de la polémica, Cloudflare es una maravilla. Es un CDN (Content Delivery Network): si tu web está en un servidor de París, Londres o Madrid, el CDN sirve el contenido desde el nodo más cercano al usuario. Muy útil para audiencias internacionales; menos relevante si el 90% de tus clientes están en España. La parte gratis (más de la que parece) DNS más rápido que cualquier otro, incluso el de Google. Mejora el TTFB (Time To First Byte). Seguridad: protección frente a ataques DoS (denegación de servicio) y el famoso botón «I’m Under Attack». Filtrado de tráfico malicioso. Brotli: compresor que reduce el peso de las imágenes más que la compresión tradicional. HTTP/2 y HTTP/3: más estables y con mejor rendimiento de caché. Early Hints: técnica para empezar a cargar recursos importantes antes de que el servidor termine de generar la página. La parte de pago: APO Por unos 5 € al mes, el plugin de Cloudflare para WordPress activa APO (Automatic Platform Optimization): Cloudflare cachea tu web y la sirve como si fuera estática desde sus servidores, sin ir a tu alojamiento ni golpear la base de datos. Casi tan barato como la suscripción de potencia.pro (menos de 2 € al mes). ¿Problemas posibles? Prácticamente ninguno si la web está bien configurada y no tiene contenido mixto (recursos servidos por HTTP en vez de HTTPS). A estas alturas, eso no debería ser un problema para nadie. Plugin del día: Updater from Drive Esta vez el plugin es de cosecha propia: Updater from Drive («actualizador desde Drive»). Resuelve un dolor real cuando gestionas muchos clientes: Tienes plugins personalizados o con licencia que no quieres meter directamente en cada web del cliente. Aun así quieres que se actualicen automáticamente. Cómo funciona: Conectas el plugin con Google Drive mediante su API. Le indicas una carpeta donde guardas todos los plugins que deben actualizarse. Cada 24 horas (o al pulsar el botón Check Now), revisa la carpeta y actualiza los plugins que hayan cambiado, como si fuera el repositorio de WordPress.org pero con tus plugins. Admite excepciones y reglas: si no identifica un plugin, puedes decirle qué fichero .zip corresponde a cada uno. Ideal si gestionas 70 webs de clientes y actualizar todo a mano es un suplicio (y MainWP no siempre va fino). El plugin estará disponible en la sección de descargas para que la gente lo trastee. Además, se prepara un plugin específico para los suscriptores de potencia.pro que permitirá auto-actualizar los plugins descargados desde la plataforma automáticamente, como una actualización más de WordPress.

No policy doesn't mean no AI. It just means you don't know where it's happening. Your team is already using AI, probably on personal accounts, and most of them aren't telling you about it. AI governance sounds like a Fortune 500 word, but at a 30-person company it's four things you can put in place this month. In this episode, Kerri walks through:What governance actually means once you strip the boardroom out of it: a purpose, an owner, and a rhythmThe one-page usage policy, and what belongs on the "flat out not for" side of itWhy a named human has to own AI, and why a folder on your Google Drive doesn't countThe do-not-feed-it list: the specific data that never goes into a public modelThe review rhythm, and why quarterly is the outer limit right nowWhere state AI law already applies, what still applies in states without it, and where Missouri actually standsWhy hiding AI use makes good employees feel like they lack integrityYOUR ACTION ITEM: Before lunch tomorrow, name the one person who owns AI at your company, and tell them.If your team is using AI and you don't have a policy behind it, take the free HR Audit to see what else is running without a system underneath it. → saltandlightadvisors.com/hrauditResources to keep building:

How can we even trust that the Old Testament is trustworthy? How do we know it hasn't been altered over time?On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at a high level view of the reliability of the Old Testament. We look through what the Bible says about itself in this regard, as well as other secular historical proofs, archeology, and science to prove why the Old Testament is incredibly reliable and something that we can hold onto with confidence as we read it today!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

The Snapchat and Google warrants showed investigators digging deeply into Bryan Kohberger's digital life as they tried to determine whether he had communicated with the victims, researched them, followed their online activity or left behind evidence of planning. Search warrants were issued for Snapchat records connected to the victims and later for Kohberger-related accounts, while Google was asked to turn over a broad range of account information including emails, chats, Google Drive files, search and browsing history, contacts, calendar information, Google Play activity and Google Pay transactions. Investigators were looking for anything that could help establish a connection between Kohberger and Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle or Ethan Chapin, as well as evidence that he had searched for the victims, the King Road house, knives or other information potentially relevant to the murders. The warrants reflected how important digital evidence had become to the case because investigators still had major unanswered questions about motive, targeting and whether Kohberger had ever interacted with the victims before November 13, 2022.The Verizon warrant was part of the equally broad effort to reconstruct cellphone activity around 1122 King Road. Just days after the murders, investigators sought records from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Inland Cellular identifying devices that connected with towers within roughly a half-mile of the house between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on November 13. That allowed police to examine which phones had been active near the crime scene during the critical window and compare those records with surveillance footage, witness accounts and later information connected to Kohberger. Additional Verizon warrants remained heavily sealed or redacted, but the larger purpose was clear: investigators wanted to map cellular activity before, during and after the murders and identify devices that might correspond with the movements of the white Hyundai Elantra. Taken together, the Snapchat, Google and Verizon warrants showed investigators attacking the case from three directions at once: social connections, online behavior and physical movement through cellphone networks.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#221 "Author, Podcaster, Game Designer" - Podcast Show Notes & Summary 9-12-26   Quick Summary  Tim walks in barely held together and introduces himself as author, podcaster, and game designer — because he just dropped a playable HTML prototype of his Color Clash-inspired dual-grid RTS into the Fork Discord. The ring actually lands on Life first: Nate's kids demand VR mid-show, California is an air fryer, lane-splitters want six inches of courtesy, and both households are eating unexpected bills. Then the game firehose opens — Sony tells a courtroom that reasonable consumers know they don't own digital games, Xbox Cloud gets a 15-hour Ultimate cap, Nintendo dumps a Zelda 40th and a second Direct in two days, Ocarina of Time remake looks like a stop-motion maquette, Metroid Ravenous is metal as hell, and Kojima's canceled Sony IP is now an Xbox game. Entertainment is Coyote vs. Acme beating Warner Bros. at its own gag, Chad Powers season two sneaking back from the dead, Spider-Noir winning Emmys then getting canceled, and Nick Offerman as Big the Cat. Tech is Mac Studio M5 Max sticker shock, Apple's September event, the iPhone Duo foldable, and John Ternus's first week as CEO. Classic four-and-a-half-hour Fork: family chaos, Sony fumbles, Nintendo cooking, and Tim finally putting a game on the table.   Detailed Show Notes

Captives of war being forced into marriage...does God seem to promote sex slavery in Deuteronomy?On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at a challenging passage on a very sensitive topic around the treatment of women after victory in war. This passage has been used to discredit God and the Bible as a whole, but we dig into why this passage proves God's love for women and that His commands to the Israelites led to treating even enemy women with more dignity and respect than any other nation of the time.The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

In this episode we answer emails from Optimus Bill, Sin Nombre, Darren, and George.  We discuss sizing small bitcoin ETF allocations, identify resources to learn more about managed futures, and talk about how underspending or hoarding strategies are often dressed up in various ways that often have surface appeal, but are ultimately unnecessarily restrictive and lack meaningful or useful purpose.  Basic financial tools like selling shares are meant to be used, not avoided.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterCatching Up To FI -- Donor Advised Funds:  A Donor-Advised Fund For You (Daffy): Democratizing Philanthropy for Everyone | Adam Nash | 200Understanding Managed Futures Paper:  Understanding Managed FuturesDemystifying Managed Futures Paper:  Demystifying Managed FuturesA Century of Evidence on Trend-Following Investing Paper:  A Century of Evidence on Trend-Following InvestingList of Books from Top Traders Unplugged:  Top Traders Unplugged Ultimate Guide to Investing Books.pdf - Google Drive"Follow The Trend" Book:  Amazon.com: Following the Trend: Diversified Managed Futures Trading (Wiley Trading): 9781119908982: Clenow, Andreas F.: BooksExcess Returns Managed Futures Presentation:  Why Most Investors Won't Buy the Best Diversifier | Andrew Beer on Managed FuturesIM Global Partners YouTube Channel (DBMF):  iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF Update with Andrew Beer | June 2026Overcoming Underspending Habits To Improve Well-Being in Retirement:  RPR Episode 436 Illustrated: The Two Halves of Your Financial LifeBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Bitcoin in a risk parity portfolio sounds like a harmless side bet, until you ask the only question that matters: will a tiny allocation actually move the needle, or is it just a story you tell yourself? We dig into the practical reality of a 1% Bitcoin ETF position, why volatility can make small weights matter, and why correlation to tech stocks can feel stable one month and chaotic the next. If you're considering crypto as a “moonshot” inside a diversified portfolio, we talk about what makes it behave like a levered risk asset and how to keep it from dominating your results.Next, we respond to a listener who wants to learn managed futures and trend following the right way. We lay out a no-fluff roadmap: key papers, episodes to revisit, book recommendations, and ongoing video resources from fund providers. If you've been looking at managed futures ETFs like DBMF or KMLM and wondering what they really add to a portfolio, this section helps you separate trading curiosity from allocation decisions, and makes the case for managed futures as a serious diversifier alongside stocks, bonds, gold, commodities, and REITs.Then we tackle a retirement hot button: living off dividend ETF income and never selling shares. We argue that “dividend-only” is often just window dressing for an ultra-low spending plan, and we make the case that selling shares is a normal tool, not a moral failure. We close with our September portfolio review and monthly distributions across the sample portfolios, including leveraged and return-stacked designs, so you can see real-world asset allocation decisions play out.Support the show

Not your whole curriculum, not every prep, and not the entire school year mapped out before September. For middle and high school teachers managing multiple preps, that smaller target can feel almost too simple. It can also be the first target that gives planning a real finish line. This episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast takes on the question sitting behind every multi-prep teacher's work: what can one unit actually solve when you still have four preps waiting? The honest answer is that one unit won't magically plan every course. It can give you proof that a repeatable planning process works, and that proof matters more than one beautiful lesson plan.The common mistake is treating every course like a separate creation project. With three, four, or five courses, each class can begin to feel like its own world. The activity structure that worked in engineering may seem useless in CAD. A routine from an introductory course may appear impossible to transfer to an advanced one. A planning approach that helped in one prep can feel as though it has to be reinvented for the next. Before long, every unit starts from zero. That's the part that makes planning relentless. The work isn't only the volume of lessons, materials, and decisions. It's the constant rebuilding of how to plan whenever the content changes. Teacher time management starts with one strong unit because that unit can interrupt the cycle of starting over.The better way is to separate content from the process used to make planning decisions. Content changes from course to course, but the way you decide what students are working toward, what materials are usable, and what still needs attention can travel. The Introduce, Practice, Produce structure is presented as a structure that can work in a CTE course, an elective, a mixed-level class, or a singleton course nobody else in the school has taught. The Ready Enough SORT, reuse, adapt, create, find, decide, wait, gives you a way to examine the materials in front of you without assuming everything must be built from scratch. These are planning decisions you can carry into another unit, even when the topic and course change.That transfer is the point. After one unit, the next planning session doesn't begin with an empty page. You have a structure to put materials into. You have a framework for deciding what you already have. You have a finish line you've reached before. This is what makes teacher time management starts with one strong unit more than a catchy episode title. The first unit serves as evidence. It shows that planning can move through an order instead of scattering across every possible task. The next time you sit down with a different unit in the same course, or with a completely different course, the content may be unfamiliar, but the planning process doesn't have to be.The decision-making gets faster because you've practiced it, not because you're rushing. The first time you sort materials through reuse, adapt, create, find, decide, and wait, you're learning the framework while applying it. The second time is faster. By the third time, the framework can begin to feel like the way you naturally think about planning. That progression is especially important for multiple prep teachers because a planning process can't depend on having endless time to make every choice from scratch. “Ready enough” becomes something you can identify rather than a finish line that keeps moving. You know what questions to ask, the order to ask them in, and what enough looks like for the unit in front of you.There's an emotional shift here, too. Multiple prep teachers often carry the feeling that they're always behind, always underprepared, or always one unit away from feeling okay. A clear process doesn't mean everything is finished. It means the decision that needed to be made has been made, while the rest can wait. That distinction changes the work. The materials don't necessarily change. The way you look at them does. In the episode, teachers who once said, “I need to create everything,” began saying, “I already have this, I can adapt this, this can wait.” That is the move from planning as a creation project to planning as a series of decisions.One specific moment captures the shift. A teacher can look at a unit and initially see a long list of things to invent: lessons, slides, activities, and documents. The process asks that teacher to slow down and sort the work instead. What is the unit trying to accomplish? What are students working toward? What materials already exist? What needs adapting? What genuinely needs creating? What can wait? When those questions have answers, the unit is ready enough to teach. It may not be perfect, completely polished, or arranged in a perfectly organized Google Drive. The deliverable is the decision. Teacher time management starts with one strong unit when you stop measuring progress by how finished the files look and start measuring it by whether the important planning decisions are clear.This episode is for middle and high school teachers juggling multiple preps, especially teachers who feel every new course demands an entirely new system. It's for the teacher with four preps who hears “focus on one unit” and immediately thinks, “I still have four preps.” It's for the teacher who has collected materials but can't decide what to reuse, adapt, create, find, decide, or postpone. It's also for the teacher who has tried programs that felt bigger, more general, or less practical than expected. The Unit Planning Lab is named as the place to bring one unit, work through the planning decisions in order, and leave with something ready enough to teach and a process to repeat. All content is available as soon as you join, with the link in the show notes.You don't need to plan everything this summer. Build one unit well, with a clear process underneath it, and let that unit prove that planning doesn't have to be hard in the same way every time. The next unit can be lighter because you're no longer starting from scratch. The one after that can be lighter still. That doesn't promise that teaching becomes easy. It means planning becomes more manageable when you work with intention instead of treating every course as a brand-new creation project. For teacher time management starts with one strong unit, finish something that makes tomorrow lighter.Plan less from zero. Teach with more room to breathe.

Waziri Garuba, creator of G.R.I.O.T and CEO of HarlemLabs, talks about how he was inspired by the limitations of Siri and where the name for his custom AI persona, G.R.I.O.T, comes from. He  integrates several platforms including n8n.io, 11 Labs, Vercel, and it can be integrated with an LLM of choice, including Claude. The system operates using an agentic workflow where a central brain assesses inputs via webhooks. Incoming queries are classified into four categories: direct, tools, complex, or schedule-based to determine the appropriate routing. He explains how his agent can talk to the platforms. The First Automation Waziri describes how he built his first automation which was an auto email response maker designed to monitor Gmail every minute. The agent reviews unread messages and drafts responses in his specific writing style while logging actions in a spreadsheet. His current evolved system uses a contact map to identify known contacts and manages inbox organization through classification and labeling. Tracking Health and Fitness Waziri talks about how he uses G.R.I.O.T in his personal life. He calls it G.R.I.O.T in the Garage. Waziri utilizes a Notion database to track health reports and personal fitness goals. The G.R.I.O.T agent can access this data to design customized workouts and automatically add them to his calendar. He demonstrates how the agent can interact with his calendar to move appointments or set reminders based on terminal tasks. The Technical Landscape Waziri explains how G.R.I.O.T can integrate with many tools and finds the best tool for the job. The technical landscape consists of specialized sub-agents for platforms like Airtable, Google Drive, Monday, and Notion. These agents act as "appendages" that handle specific tasks such as searching files or managing relational databases. Waziri utilizes Tavily, an AI-driven search tool used by developers. It operates like Perplexity to help the agents find real-time information. Mobile Accessibility Waziri  interacts with G.R.I.O.T through Telegram, allowing him to send voice memos while on the go at the gym or traveling. This mobile interface enables him to delegate research, schedule follow-ups, or draft emails using simple spoken commands. He prefers Telegram over other messaging apps because it offers easier integration with n8n for building custom workflows. He explains how it helps him manage his emails, both incoming and backlog, and newsletters. The Finance Tools A dedicated suite of finance tools helps Waziri manage debt, income tracking, and expense reporting through QuickBooks and Google Sheets. The system implements a behavioral mechanism to automate saving ten percent of incoming funds into a separate account. One specific agent provides regular reports on interest rates for student loans and credit cards to help prioritize debt repayment strategies. Professional Services Waziri serves CEOs and high-level executives by helping them map out their operational needs before implementing AI tech stacks. He offers an eight-week course called the Operators Map at theoperatorsmap.com to teach governance and automation design. His business engagements focus on helping operators transition from manual processes to efficient, automated systems through HarlemLabs.com.

Turning the other cheek is one of Jesus' most well known sayings...but what does it actually mean? Are we supposed to be pacifists? Why did OT people pray for fire to rain down on enemies, yet we're supposed to turn the other cheek?On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look at why some prayers seem to differ from the New Testament and specifically why we are called to turn the other cheek rather than seek revenge on those who do us wrong.

The real payoff for having an SOP is that you can start handing pieces of it off. I built a scheduled Claude skill that checks my Notion podcast planner for episodes marked ready to publish, pulls the video and the MacWhisper transcript out of Google Drive, writes the description and show notes, and uploads everything to RSS.com scheduled for the date I picked. It runs Wednesday overnight so I can review the episodes Thursday morning before they drop. Three things make it reliable: knowing my own process cold, giving it strict instructions for writing and link gathering, and an API that actually works.Resources & LinksGet my full podcast production SOP — streamlined.fm/sopRSS.com — the host for this show; video support and the API behind this automation (affiliate link)Claude — where the scheduled skill runsMacWhisper — watches the folder and transcribes each episode automaticallyNotion — my podcast plannerHave feedback?

But as host Khristen Massic points out, this approach just buries you under an endless to-do list. The real shift? Start with the end. Ask yourself, “What will my students actually be able to do by the end of this unit?” That's your north star, cutting through the noise and helping you ditch anything that doesn't get students to that outcome.It's a rebellious move to let go of that beloved activity you've saved for years or to admit that some glittery resource just won't move the needle. But planning is about decision-making, not collecting. Khristen gives a real-talk example from a world language classroom: it's not enough to finish “Unit 4” or knock out every vocab worksheet. The key is whether students can actually use the language to communicate or understand. Suddenly, every activity, resource, and lesson has to earn its spot—and as soon as you know the end goal, the rest is so much easier to sort.She breaks it down with the introduce, practice, produce framework. Before picking any resource, get crystal clear on what students should demonstrate as their final product. Only then can you build backward—deciding what background knowledge to introduce, the skills to practice, and which opportunities will let students show what they've learned. This progression keeps your units focused and, more importantly, teachable.If your gut reaction is to pile on more—just in case—slow down. The power of “this can wait” is your new best friend. As Khristen admits, there's always another extension, activity, or project you could add, especially if you care deeply about your content. But piling on extras only muddies the waters and makes it impossible to finish anything. Giving yourself permission to wait or set something aside doesn't lower the bar; it sets a much-needed boundary so you can actually finish the unit and get your life back.Middle and high school teachers with multiple preps, this advice hits even harder. When your courses feel like separate universes, it's tempting to reinvent your planning systems for every class. Khristen's approach—focusing every course around the same core questions about the end goal and sorting your resources accordingly—lets you reuse your decision-making process instead of reinventing the wheel every time your subject changes. That's what makes all those preps manageable, not multiplying.She shares an anecdote from the Unit Planning Lab, where teachers' thinking changed drastically—not because they found more resources, but because they learned to match activities to stages of learning. Instead of treating each lesson as a stand-alone event, they could finally see where everything fit, and what just didn't belong. That “aha” moment is the kind of clarity every secondary classroom needs to avoid overwhelm and actually build momentum.So, before you click open Google Drive or start trolling for more worksheets online, pause. Ask yourself: if students finish this unit, what can they do now that they couldn't do before? That's the filter. Build your unit around that. Every resource, every lesson, every shiny new idea—run them through that lens. Only keep what moves students closer to the end goal, and push everything else to the “maybe later” pile.This episode is for every secondary teacher tired of endless planning, especially those stuck in the trap of “one more thing.” It's for the multi-prep warriors who don't want to sacrifice work life balance for the sake of coverage, and for anyone who wants real, practical teacher tips that actually lighten the load. Host Khristen Massic doesn't just hand you inspiration, she gives you a process that works in real secondary classrooms, with all the mess and pressure that comes with middle and high school teaching.Ready to rebel against overwhelming planning and make tomorrow lighter? Start with the end in mind, eliminate the excess, and watch your classroom—and sanity—fall into place.Keep teaching like you've got nothing to prove.

In this episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast, host Khristen Massic takes you behind the scenes of smarter lesson planning with an approach called the “Ready Enough Sort.” If you've ever searched for “secondary teacher planning starts with sorting, not creating,” you're in the right place. Khristen isn't here to sell you on yet another endless to-do list—she's showing you how to break the cycle and actually reclaim your evenings.We all fall for the trap: thinking effective teaching means fresh, stunning resources for every unit, every year. Host Khristen Massic is calling BS. Before you pour hours into that next project or activity, hit pause and sort what you have. Pull every single resource for your unit out of its hiding spots—Google Drive rabbit holes, forgotten email threads, dust-covered folders, even that TPT download you never opened. The magic isn't in making more stuff, but in seeing what's actually there.Here's the heart of it: planning isn't just about creation. It's about making decisions. Most teachers, especially those juggling multiple preps, walk into planning thinking almost everything belongs in the “create” pile. Khristen calls that out—your teacher workload explodes when you default to creating. Sorting unlocks the truth: you already have more than you think, and a lot of what you planned to build, you just don't need.Want a more concrete approach? Picture this: you've gathered all your unit materials into one spot. Instead of diving straight into fixing or organizing them, you sort. Host Khristen Massic breaks it down into six clear categories—reuse, adapt, create, find, decide, and wait. Maybe you've got last year's activity that hit all the right notes—reuse it. Got something that almost works, but needs a tweak? Adapt. Have a genuine gap? Fine—create, but only what's actually missing.Finding resources doesn't have to hijack your prep time, either. Make a running list of what you still need to find—a video, a demonstration, an example. Don't let yourself get sucked into an endless Google search spiral when you should be making a decision about your unit. The way Khristen puts it, identifying the hole is enough for now. Filling it? That can wait until you actually have the headspace.One of the most revolutionary parts? Not everything needs to be done before day one. Some decisions you're better equipped to make after you've met your students; some materials may never get used at all. The “wait” category is key to classroom routines that actually work and to protecting your work life balance as a secondary teacher.Khristen also distinguishes between two powerful frameworks. Introduce-Practice-Produce tells you where something belongs in your student's learning journey, while the Ready Enough Sort tells you what you, as the teacher, actually need to do with it. A teacher who went through this process noticed right away: planning got easier when she matched activities to the learning stage, instead of treating every lesson as a stand-alone event. Activities didn't have to be brand new—they just had to do the job at that point in the unit.If you're a middle or high school teacher tackling multiple preps, especially if you've been handed a new class with barely any resources, this episode delivers practical teacher tips for bringing order to chaos. The six categories—reuse, adapt, create, find, decide, wait—are your planning lifeline.So, before you build one more worksheet, look at your own unit. Do the sort. See what you can reuse. Decide what can wait. Save your energy for the things that actually move learning forward in your secondary classroom.The smart way is rarely the easiest at first, but it's a hell of a lot lighter in the long run. Don't just survive your prep load—beat it at its own game.You know the drill: rebel against busywork, sort before you build, and don't let classroom planning rent space in your head rent-free. Teach strong.

Prophets like Elijah and Elisha had full confidence that God would answer their prayers, from opening the eyes of their servant to see the spiritual realm to calling down fire to stopping rain for years. Does it work like that today for us?On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look how prophets understand God's will and pray with confidence. From there, we dig into how things are similar and different for us today and how to pray with a similar confidence!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

So Many OptionsI've been playing with AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and an all-in-one tool called Magi ) and I finally did the thing most of us avoid: I picked one and went deep instead of bouncing between tools.Hello ClaudeIn this episode, I share what happened when I handed Claude a transcript and a few of my own blog posts and asked it to write my show notes, why I'm keeping AI on a short leash (folder by folder, not my whole Google Drive), and the bigger lesson underneath all of it: knowledge is only power when you actually do something with it.Whether it's AI, or finally plugging in that microphone that's been sitting in a drawer for three years, the principle is the same: knowing isn't the finish line. Doing is.On a Budget?I need to check and see what the difference of Claude in Magai, and a direct use of Claude. As Magai is $20 for a ton of tools, but much like many "all in one" systems, I may be missing some of the customizations.Key TakeawaysPick one AI tool and go deep, rather than chasing whichever tool looks coolest this week. They're all converging on similar features anyway.AI should polish what you've already created, not create it for you. I fed Claude a transcript and my own blog posts so the show notes would sound like me, not like generic "let's delve into a deep dive" AI-speak.Watching tutorials isn't the same as doing the work. I watch AI tutorials, then immediately try what I learned, and sometimes it's great, sometimes it flops, but either way I learn something.Start small and contained. I'm giving AI access to one dedicated folder on my computer, not my entire Google Drive, until I trust it more.The same principle applies to launching or growing your podcast. You don't need to know everything before you start. You need to plug in the mic, watch the levels move, and take the next small step.Resources MentionedMagi, the all-in-one AI tool subscription I've been testing (~$20/month)Claude, the AI tool I chose to go deep withChatGPT, Grok, other AI tools I've testedWispr Flow, the voice-to-text tool I use to dictate show notesCraig Van Slyke, AI Goes to College: aigoestocollege.comPodcasting Observations newsletter: podcastingobservations.comAudacity, free recording software mentioned in the mic-setup exampleThe School of Podcasting, weekly classes on growth and launchingWork With MeI've been helping podcasters for over 20 years.

Is a woman's only hope of meaning in having children? That sure seems like what Paul is saying in 1 Timothy 2:15. What do we make of this passage?On today's podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around a passage in 1 Timothy that seems to indicate that women are saved through childbearing. We look into the context of this passage as well as the original language to decipher the true meaning of this passage and how it doesn't really connect to salvation at all. We hope this is a helpful explanation of a challenging and confusing verse!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth. Scriptures: 1 Tim. 2:15; John 14:6; Rom. 10:9-10; Eph. 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Gen. 3:16-20; Gal. 4:4; 1 Tim. 2:11-15; 1 Tim. 4:16; 1 Tim. 3:1-13.If you'd like access to our show notes, please visit www.rosevillebaptist.com/1717podcast to see them in Google Drive!Please listen, subscribe, rate, and review the podcast so that we can reach to larger audiences and share the truth of God's Word with them!Write in your own questions to be answered on the show at 1717pod@gmail.com or tweet at us @1717pod on Twitter.  God bless!

Do you ever feel like you're constantly doing something, but never truly resting? Even when the work is finished, your mind keeps going. You're thinking about what needs to be done next, checking your phone, planning, worrying, or feeling guilty for taking time for yourself. In this episode of Spiritual Sense, we explore why switching off can be so difficult and what may be happening beneath the surface of our constant need to stay busy. Sometimes overworking isn't just about ambition. It can be connected to our need to feel valuable, productive, in control, or needed. We can become so identified with what we achieve that simply being still starts to feel uncomfortable. But rest isn't laziness. Slowing down isn't failure. And your worth isn't determined by how much you accomplish. This conversation explores how to recognise the signs that you're pushing yourself too far, how to create healthier boundaries with work, and how to reconnect with yourself when life has become a constant cycle of doing. If your mind struggles to switch off, this episode offers a chance to pause, reflect, and consider whether you really need to do more—or whether you simply need permission to rest. You don't have to spend your entire life trying to catch up with it. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is stop. Listen, reflect, and join the conversation on Spiritual Sense.

The autopsy reports for University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin documented the extraordinary violence of the November 13, 2022 murders inside the King Road residence in Moscow. Spokane County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Veena Singh determined that all four died from multiple sharp-force injuries consistent with a large fixed-blade knife, including a weapon such as the Ka-Bar prosecutors said was used in the killings. Mogen suffered 28 stab wounds, including extensive injuries to her face, neck and upper body that damaged major blood vessels, a lung and her liver. Chapin suffered fewer wounds than the three women, but his injuries included devastating wounds to the neck and major blood vessels, including one wound reportedly measuring approximately seven inches deep. Singh concluded that all four victims experienced a high degree of pain or suffering before death, although Chapin's suffering was assessed as occurring to a lesser degree than that of the other victims.The reports provided particularly disturbing new details about Kernodle and Goncalves. Kernodle suffered numerous wounds across her head, neck, chest, abdomen, back and extremities, including injuries to her heart, lung and major blood vessels, and her autopsy was the only one that specifically identified injuries consistent with defensive wounds, supporting the conclusion that she attempted to fight off her attacker. Goncalves suffered a combination of sharp-force and blunt-force trauma that the medical examiner described as more severe in certain respects than the injuries suffered by the others; her injuries included bleeding around the brain, a fractured nose, significant facial trauma and a knocked-out tooth, as well as evidence suggesting that an object had been pressed across her mouth. Taken together, the newly disclosed autopsy findings provided a much clearer medical picture of what occurred inside the house and demonstrated that this was not simply a series of quick fatal stab wounds, but an exceptionally violent attack in which the four victims suffered extensive and, in some cases, markedly different injuries before their deaths.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:012725+Exhibits+S-1+and+S-1+a-e+to+States+Supp+Resp+to+Rqst+for+Disc+RE+Penalty+Phase+Experts.pdf - Google Drive

Every single hard drive you own will eventually fail. Not might fail — will fail. It is just a matter of time. The photographers who lose irreplaceable work aren't the ones who didn't care. They're the ones who meant to get a better system in place and hadn't gotten around to it yet. This episode makes sure you're not one of them. What you'll learn: The industry standard for data protection is the 3-2-1 rule: three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one copy stored off-site. Each component protects against a different category of failure, and skipping any one of them leaves a gap that a single event — a flood, a theft, a power surge — can exploit completely. We cover RAID systems and the critical distinction most photographers miss: not all RAID configurations protect your data. RAID 0 actually increases your risk of loss by striping data across two drives, meaning either drive failing takes everything with it. RAID 1, which mirrors data across two drives simultaneously, is what's relevant for redundancy. We also draw a clear line between sync services and backup services — a distinction that matters enormously. Dropbox and Google Drive are not backups. If you delete a file or a virus corrupts your data, they'll faithfully replicate that change to the cloud. True backup services maintain versioned snapshots over time specifically designed for recovery, not just access. Our recommendation for cloud backup is Backblaze - https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-backup/personal#afc32p Finally, we cover cold storage maintenance — why mechanical drives left idle for extended periods can seize, and why spinning them up once a year is essential — and the habit most photographers never build: actually verifying that their backups work. Key takeaways: The 3-2-1 rule is the baseline — three copies, two media types, one off-site RAID 1 protects against drive failure but not deletion, corruption, or disaster Sync is not backup — you need versioned snapshots, not mirrored folders A backup you've never tested is not a backup you can trust This week's homework — The Audit: locate every drive you own and identify your single points of failure. If any important work exists in only one place, resolve that today. Then set a recurring calendar reminder to verify your backups every few months.

I used to pay my sales directors $40,000 to $100,000 a month to run my sales teams. Now that position doesn't exist. Claude is my sales director — and it does the job better than any human ever could. In this episode, I walk through the exact four-step system and give you everything for free: the skills, the prompts, the workflows. I break down why you have to close your own calls before you ever hire a team (and what happens when you skip this), why trusting your sales team's reporting is running your business on fiction, and how to install an AI sales director that listens to every call, generates a daily report card, and closes the feedback loop overnight. I also tell the story of how one rogue salesperson cost me $90,000 in refunds while I was on my babymoon in St. Lucia — because he was promising free toasters that weren't part of the offer. The system is Fathom for recording, a Zap to Google Drive, and a Claude skill that analyzes every transcript and tells you the single highest-leverage thing to fix for each closer. But the tool is worthless without the one thing most owners are too afraid to do. "You do not get what you deserve in life. You get what you will tolerate. Every difficult conversation you avoid is one your whole business pays for."

Many entrepreneurs are smart, experienced, and ambitious, but still feel stuck, scattered, and frustrated that their results don't match their potential. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. Donna Blevins, a 6'5" former professional poker player, high-scoring basketball standout, stroke survivor, and performance coach, shows how changing your self-talk, daily habits, and relationship with AI can create real breakthroughs in your business and life. She draws on concepts from her book MindShift, where she teaches how to reframe setbacks, focus on wins, and harness the power of intentional language. Donna shares the pivotal story of being told by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that her high school basketball stats made her not just “good,” but a star, even though she'd spent years telling herself she was terrible. That moment shattered her habit of focusing on misses instead of scores, and it mirrors how many entrepreneurs obsess over what's not working instead of the results they are getting. Donna explains how this kind of negative self-talk quietly sabotages success, and why shifting your internal language is the first step to changing your external results. From there, Donna gets practical. She reveals her simple productivity framework: finish three small things a day, and plan your business in 90‑day quarters instead of chasing vague, far-off “big goals” you never complete. She talks about her mind shifting process, so powerful she credits it with helping her regain speech three days after a massive stroke, and her exercise to “evict your perfection witch,” freeing you from the perfectionism that keeps offers, content, and ideas stuck in draft mode. You'll learn why doing things live, iterating in public, and embracing “beta” versions is often the fastest path to a profitable, repeatable offer. https://youtu.be/7O3QKP52x0g?si=3CsjDdtyNwHJKBF1 Donna also dives into how she's using AI as a true virtual assistant, not a distraction. She explains how she trained ChatGPT's new work feature to understand her voice (“donatize” her content), organize her Google Drive, build course templates, and act as a pocket performance coach for clients, while maintaining strict boundaries so the tech stays safe, useful, and under her control. For entrepreneurs, especially those over 50, who feel overwhelmed by tech, uncertain about their “next page,” or tired of spinning their wheels, this conversation offers a blend of mindset, systems, and AI strategy rooted in real-world experience. If you're ready to stop overthinking, start finishing, and finally turn your brilliance into bankable results, you'll want to hear what Donna shares. Quotes: "Find three little things that you can finish now. What happens? It changes the frequency, the energy within you, and the frequency around you, because we create the energy around us." "When you make a goal, sure, look at the big hairy-ass goals, that's fine, but look at something that's three months away. If you plan in quarters, you're far more productive." "I created a mind shift exercise called 'Evict Your Perfection Witch' because she has taken residence on my shoulders from time to time, and I want to evict her, evict the bitch, that's what I say."

Most real estate operators say they're using AI. Very few have built their entire company around it. In this episode, Neal Bawa, CEO of Grocapitus, breaks down the four-phase process his 20-person team used over the past 18 months to become what he calls an AI-first real estate company. From getting every employee certified on custom GPTs in phase one, to building proprietary web-hosted dashboards that pull live data from seven different property management systems in phase four, Neal is specific about what they built, what tools they used, how much it cost, and what it actually changed about how they operate. If you want to know what implementing AI at the company level looks like in practice, this is the episode. About Neal Bawa Neal Bawa is the CEO of Grocapitus and MultifamilyU, where he manages a $436 million AI-powered portfolio across 25 projects in 11 states. Known as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily, Neal has built one of the most data-driven operations in the real estate industry and has made more than 300 podcast appearances sharing that framework with investors. His free investor education platform at MultifamilyU has tens of thousands of subscribers and runs eight webinars per year at no cost. What We Cover in This Episode What it actually means to declare your company AI-first and what changed internally at Grocapitus when they did How Neal tied AI adoption to compensation, bonuses, and continued employment — the carrot and stick system that drove company-wide adoption Phase one: getting every employee certified on ChatGPT and building 300 custom GPTs in four months Phase two: connecting Zoom, Slack, Asana, and Google Drive through native integrations and Zapier to automate meeting workflows Phase three: why they moved to Claude for rent comps, underwriting, and web scraping — and why ChatGPT couldn't do the job How Claude Code differs from Claude Chat and Claude Cowork, and why that distinction matters for automation Phase four: turning every employee into a programmer using GitHub Codespaces — no coding knowledge required How they built a proprietary MySQL dashboard that pulls live data from seven different property management systems simultaneously Why 99% of property managers are not compliant with the industry standard of three phone calls and three text messages to every lead — and how Neal can now see this in real time across his entire portfolio How AI affected headcount — no layoffs, but three to four open requisitions closed and employees working an average of one to one and a half hours less per day Phase five on the horizon: AI handling 100% of incoming calls at their properties Neal's plan to offer this dashboard-building capability to the top 50 property management companies in the US Why Haiku outperforms Sonnet for teams that keep running out of Claude tokens Neal's interest rate prediction through the end of 2026 Key Insight Neal makes a claim that should stop most operators cold: 99% of leads at managed properties do not receive three phone calls and three text messages, the industry standard for lead follow-up. Most don't even get a second call. For years, this was invisible — property managers self-reported compliance, and nobody could verify it. Neal's phase four dashboard changes that. For the first time, he can walk into a Monday morning meeting and show every property manager exactly where they rank against each other, how long they take to respond to a lead, and how many of their leads are being processed correctly. He doesn't have to say a word. The data does it. Why This Episode Matters Neal isn't describing what AI might do for real estate someday. He's describing what his 20-person team built in the last 18 months, with zero consultants hired, on $25 per month Claude accounts. The playbook he lays out — phased adoption, compensation tied to AI competency, tools connected in sequence — is something any operator can start applying at their own scale. If you're still thinking of AI as a tool you use occasionally rather than a system your company runs on, this episode draws a clear line between those two approaches.
