What if the secret to 100 transactions a year wasn't online leads… but real relationships?   In this raw and surprisingly vulnerable episode, James and Keith sit down with Montrose, Colorado broker Shawn Carroll, a 32-year industry veteran who averages 100 homes a year in a town of just 20,000 people.   But this isn't a "systems and funnels" conversation.   Shawn shares how he went from sleeping in his office, walking miles to show homes because he had no car, and being told he was "too unapproachable" for the business… to becoming one of the most dominant relationship-driven agents in his market.   You'll hear: Why he doesn't "prospect" and hasn't for years How he uses social media as a listening tool, not a megaphone The empathy shift that changed his business forever Why ego will cost you more than a wrapped car ever will The one mindset that separates agents who survive from those who quit No gimmicks. No scripts. No hacks. Just consistency, competitiveness, and caring deeply, even if you're not "Mr. Huggable."   Connect with Shawn on LinkedIn.

A three-year-old Arizona girl was found safe after a statewide Amber Alert led police to a Phoenix gas station and the arrest of a houseguest. In Salt Lake City, police say a 34-year-old man crept into an elderly woman’s apartment in the middle of the night carrying an axe—and claimed he was there for a date.

Move on orders for the homeless are shifting attention onto enforcement and away from the needs of people trapped on the streets. That is according to a researcher who spends to two days a week on Auckland streets talking to people who are sleeping rough. The coalition plans to give police the power to shift rough sleepers, beggars or disorderly people, as young as 14, in city centres. Researcher from AUT Business School, Cordelia Stewart spoke to Lisa Owen.

Homeless, rough sleepers and beggars have often been used as a shorthand by some for decline in the city centre. For some, it's evidence of the state's increasing failure to provide support people at vulnerable points in their lives; for others, the continued presence of rough sleepers being permitted is a sign of a lack of social rules. This week the government seems to have firmly fallen in with the latter.  They are set to implement legislation that would empower police to implement ‘move on' orders, which, if issued, would require you to vacate public areas or face up to $2,000 in fines or 3 months in prison. The move has garnered huge criticism with many viewing the move alongside the governments cuts to emergency housing and support services leaving people with no where to go other than prison. Another move that has flown a little under the radar has been the amalgamation of the Ministry for the Environment, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and the local government functions of the Department of Internal Affairs into a single ministry. This amalgamation has alarmed critics who are concerned that the government's track record on climate and environmental policy spells ill for this new agency.  For our weekly catchup with the Green Party, Wire Host Manny spoke with MP Ricardo Menéndez March about the amalgamation of key ministries into a mega ministry but began by talking about the expansion of police powers with move-on orders.  

The latest quarterly tally of people sleeping rough in Auckland shows there has been a drop in homelessness - but those on the frontline are treating the figure with caution. Amy Williams reports.

Today on Politics Wednesday, it's a verbal brawl between Mark Mitchell and Ginny Andersen over the new move on orders for rough sleepers and beggars. They discussed how effective such measures would be, whether or not they have anywhere else to go, and whether the wider public agrees with the orders.

She's an organizational psychologist, equity consultant, and author of the new book Rise and Resist - and this conversation went places I didn't expect.What struck me most is how Janice reframes resistance.

Those aren't small acts. They're how culture actually changes.We also get into what it takes to develop your voice when you've spent years being rewarded for staying in your lane. If that hits close to home, this episode is for you.Janice and I talk about:Why storytelling is preservation and power, not just communicationHow personal stories build connection that expertise alone never canThe everyday acts of resistance that shape workplaces and culture more than we realizeHow to find your voice when you were taught not to rock the boatWhat to do when you speak up and face criticism or pushback for itAbout My Guest: Janice Z.

Every now and then you meet someone who allows you to shift your own perspective in a way that you don't see coming, Matt Griffin is that human being. Matt is so many things and like many of us allowed the job to define who he was entirely as a man. It's never just one thing, however that surrender to that undercover identity was the beginning of the end for Matt. In this candid interview we discuss his faith and the challenges he faced in the wake of a child dying in his arms. Homeless, filled with desperation, hopelessness, physically and emotionally exhausted, he penned his last note to his sons. Thankfully Matt found the courage to stay, to keep getting up. Sit back, reflect, and find hope in his message. We are the writers of our tale, we decide how the story ends. My mom always would say, "John its not how you start that matters, it's how you finish".  If you are struggling or know someone who is, be the reason they stay and if you can't, send them our way. https://www.linkedin.com/in/authormattgriffin?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3B8vkhvxBTSDezufGji7Mt1Q%3D%3Dhttp://www.authormattgriffin.com/More about Matt:As a former Search and Rescue Swimmer in the US Navy and Undercover Police Officer, my journey has been anything but ordinary.

Kiwis are known around the world for their kindness. We open doors, we say please and thank you, we help out our neighbour. We leap in to help when help is needed. It's one of the traits we're most proud of. But one thing we hate more than anything else is when that kindness is taken for granted - then it's no more Mr Nice Guy. We say this with kids stealing from dairies and ram-raiding poor old hard-working dairy owners. The minute they started destroying livelihoods and beating people with screw drivers and hammers, sympathy evaporated. Sure, some of these kids may have had hard upbringings, but there are plenty of kids with tough upbringings who choose not to drive a Nissan Gidda through a four-square window at 3am. So, we voted for boot camps. We reversed our ‘no chase' police pursuit policy. We cracked down. Kindness has its limits. A long time ago, for those who frequent the city, we crossed the same line with beggars and rough sleepers. We care about them. We donate our time and money to the City Mission. We pay our taxes knowing they should be going to help in some way, improve their lives. But there are also a bunch of idiots taking advantage with squirted bottles at traffic lights. They can be aggressive and dangerous. Same goes for the rough sleepers on the footpaths in some of our big cities. It's costing businesses. It's destroying the reputation of entire swathes of city shops. These shops provide jobs for the rest of us. Especially in our biggest city, where foreign tourists first impressions should not be a punch up between two roughies on the footpath. So, while the headlines about this ‘'move on” policy, like the crackdown on ram-raiders before it, or the hardline on Kainga Ora tenants before it, will scream cruel and mean. They're out of step with the reality people are facing in their own lives. The good grace cup hath runnith empty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the remarkable and entertaining Claire Parkinson. Claire began her career as a Prison Officer in the UK, working at the frontlines of human dynamics at their most intense. At 30 years of age she became the Head Of Operations for all prisons and probation in London, overseeing 9000 staff and 33,000 inmates! From there Claire had an opportunity to move to Australia and work in the prison system in Adelaide before stepping into the mining sector where she helped lead a $9.6billion dollar merger between 2 major global corporations. Claire has written a hilarious memoir, Shitty Grit, which captures the remarkable journey that has shaped her. In this episode we hear about Claire’s early life, growing up in social housing in the UK and what it was like to find out at 16 that she was 18 weeks pregnant. Claire shares about the tough time she went through trying to raise a child, when she was just a child herself, and the wild years that followed when she moved back in with her parents and started playing catch-up on the partying she'd missed out on as a teenager. After a sliding doors moment where she had to choose between being a flight attendant or a prison officer, Claire chose the latter. She tells us about the fascinating world of prisons and how she was assigned one of Britain’s most notorious child killers as her inmate when she first began her career. The stories she tells us of those prison days are pretty incredible, and we hope you love getting an insight into a world that most of us know nothing about. We also talk about Claire’s move to Australia and how she was able to transition into the world of mining and lead a huge global merger. When you hear about the way Claire’s determination and initiative have led to incredible opportunities in her life, you can’t help but be inspired. Talk about a woman who’s been through a lot of shit and has a lot of grit! We laughed so much throughout this chat and we hope you’ll find it as entertaining as we did.

Move-on orders are coming to our city and town centres, with the government confirming police will have the power to disperse people sleeping rough, begging, or engaging in disorderly or threatening behaviour. Political reporter Giles Dexter reports.

Advocates for the homeless say proposed new police powers to move on rough sleepers will do nothing to tackle the issue. Auckland City Missioner Helen Robinson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

It's taken a while but we got there at last. Move-on orders. Clear lines of responsibility and delineation for police to actually fix a problem that has existed for too long in our central city areas. As the debate bounces back and forward this week have a look at those who ask "where do they go?" They ask that because it's the easy question to ask. It's the point-scoring question to ask. It's the question you ask when you don't actually have to deal with the problem. The previous Government, who will be one of the people asking that very question, stuck them in motels and ruined entire towns like Rotorua. They stuck them in social housing and ruined entire neighbourhoods, as the agency responsible evicted exactly zero people despite antisocial, and often criminal, behaviour. In other words they gave greater priority to troubled menaces than they did to wider society that simply wanted to get on with life. Downtowns, whether Wellington, Christchurch or Auckland, need help and have needed help for years. We were at lunch a couple of weeks ago in the central city for a birthday. The drugged-out woman screaming her head off on the bench outside was doing her best to ruin everyone's Saturday. The music in the restaurant had to be turned up to a level that you could no longer hear each other talk. But what was the proprietor supposed to do? What is any business supposed to do when you have to step over the down and out, the drugged out and the violent, simply to unlock your door? The apologists paint these people as harmless. They are not. They paint them as lost and wayward. They are not. They are law breakers who cause a disproportionate amount of trouble to people who don't deserve it. As a result of an apologist mentality no one has known what to do, like retail crime and Yaris' through windows a few years back. Toughen up the laws and you'll be amazed how quickly the problem gets solved. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it take to jump into a war zone, break a world record, and still come home grounded? In this episode of The Jess Larsen Show, Jess sits down with former Tier 1 Special Boat Service operator Dean Stott to unpack a life that sounds like fiction—but isn't. Dean shares what it really means to pass one of the world's toughest special forces selections, why humility and integrity matter more than bravado, and how mindset separates those who quit from those who finish. He opens up about undercover missions, high-risk evacuations in Libya and Israel, and the moment a parachute accident ended his military career. Instead of spiraling, he reinvented himself—cycling 14,000 miles from Argentina to Alaska, breaking world records, and raising over $1.4 million for mental health. But this conversation goes deeper than adrenaline. It's about identity, purpose, discipline, and building a life that means something long after the medals fade. Learn more about your ad choices.

Branden Robles - better known as @m0t1v3_auto - has become a key voice in the Dallas–Fort Worth car scene, documenting events, spotlighting builds, and connecting people through the culture he loves. But his story runs much deeper than cars. After the economy collapse following 9/11, Branden found himself jobless and homeless, facing rock bottom. With the unwavering support of his wife and the life-changing decision to serve proudly in the U.S. Army, he fought his way back. That fight gave him resilience, purpose, and the foundation to now live out his dream, bringing the vibrant DFW car culture to life through his lens. In this episode of I Am Redemption, Branden sits down with Shawn Livingston to share: His vulnerable journey from homelessness to the military and rebuilding his life. The role of faith, family, and community in redemption. How documenting Dallas car culture became his passion and purpose. Why he supports and amplifies the I Am Redemption message across social media This conversation is proof that we are what comes after - that even from the lowest moments, you can rise, create, and inspire others. ✦ Subscribe for more stories of transformation ✦ Follow Branden on IG: @m0t1v3_auto ✦ Follow I Am Redemption: @iam.redemptionHosted on Ausha.

DML's morning insight on a hot topic trending in the United States.

When most of us head to the airport, it's to fly out and leave. But some people go to the airport to stay, sometimes for months on end. People experiencing homelessness have had a presence at the airport since at least 2018, but airport officials say their number has grown. The San Francisco Police Department says it encounters about 35 unhoused people at the airport every day. But helping them find other places to live is complicated. Reporter Erin Bump introduces us to some people at SFO who help them with shelter, food and medical care, and are sometimes just there to listen .  Learn more about your ad choices.

A weekly news roundup with our reporter colleagues throughout the state. First, in early 2023, Rochester City Council purchased 15 self-contained heated and cooled units to be placed in the city's only sanctioned homeless encampment, Peace Village.

WXXI News' investigations and City Hall reporter Gino Fanelli explains why. Then, Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado ended his primary bid against Governor Kathy Hochul this week.

If you think your past defines your future, this story of Ivy League success, 20 years of homelessness, and ultimate redemption will change your mind.Ken Miller joins Brigitte Cutshall to share his powerful journey from being a National Merit Scholar at Dartmouth to spending two decades battling addiction, homelessness, and incarceration. Now 21 years sober and a successful business owner, Ken discusses the "internal problem" behind addiction, the courage required to face childhood trauma, and how he transitioned from a life of "negative secrets" to becoming a kind, gentle mentor for the next generation.3 Key Takeaways(1) Own Your Truth, Lose the Power: Healing begins by "turning the lights on" in the rooms of your past. By speaking his "big secrets" aloud, Ken stripped them of their power to cause him pain or shame.(2) The Myth of the "Why": While trauma and environment are factors (antecedents), Ken emphasizes that rationalizing bad behavior through past pain prevents true recovery. Accountability is the first step toward change.(3) Service as Self-Care: One of the fastest ways to build self-worth is to get "outside of yourself." Helping others—whether through formal mentoring or simply calling a lonely relative—creates the value you might feel you're lacking.Grab a copy of Ken Miller's book, Becoming Ken, on Amazon - https://amzn.to/4tDHdwA

In this episode, we take a sharp, sarcastic deep dive into the latest "sundowner" antics coming out of the White House and the blatant economic backfire hitting the administration's own base. From 4:00 AM cowardice to the massive contrast in how America celebrates Black History Month, we're breaking down why "truly great men" don't have to tear others down to stand tall. The 4 AM "Red Flag": Why midnight tantrums aren't "strength"—they're a sign of failing health and an old man sundowning on a global stage. We discuss why his kids need to snatch the phone before the battery (and the legacy) hits zero. The Economic "Self-Own": A look at the reality behind the rhetoric. With groceries at 4x the price, record-high foreclosures, and health insurance premiums skyrocketing due to expired subsidies, we ask: who is this "greatness" actually for? The "Michelle" Metric: Poetic justice at the box office. Why is an immigrant documentary playing to empty seats and tumbleweeds, while Michelle Obama's Becoming is back at #1 six years later?

As seen on Gutfeld!, a schoolboard Vice President gets upset with the use of the word "homeless" instead of "unhoused." Greg says this is just another example of liberals soften language when describing something bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
