Your first chapter needs to hook the reader—but that doesn't mean you need a huge plot twist, dramatic action, or a flashy meet-cute on page one.The first chapter of Emily Henry's Book Lovers is mostly two sisters walking through New York and talking. There's plenty of banter, interiority, description, and backstory—but the big plot development doesn't arrive until fairly late in the chapter.So how does Emily Henry make an opening chapter like this feel so engaging and full of momentum—and what can writers learn from the scene structure underneath it? That's what we're going to look at in this episode.In the episode, you'll hear us talk about things like:[05:05] How many scenes actually exist within this first chapter (the answer might surprise you!)—and what the structure looks like once we break it down[06:55] How EmHen wrote an engaging opening chapter where two sisters are walking and talking (and why this is such a great example of a ‘quiet' scene goal that still generates forward momentum)[08:10] What makes the protagonist's sister, Libby, the scene antagonist—even though she isn't a “bad” character and has good intentions[09:50] How the conflict escalates on both an external and emotional level (plus, how the stakes work in a quieter, more relational scene like this one)[16:55] How this opening gives us a sense of who Nora is, what her life looks like now, and where the larger story is headed without info dumping or boring readers with too much backstoryWhether you're writing romance or another genre, tune in for a look at how this bestselling author keeps readers engaged while doing all the important setup work a first chapter needs to do.

Against all odds, Democrats still have a chance in the Texas Senate race. So, is it because Ken Paxton is bad, or because of James Talarico's Nice Young Man energy? Turns out, both.Veteran Texas journalist Christopher Hooks of Texas Monthly joins Sarah to talk about Ken Paxton's sordid history in Texas Republican politics, how Texas Trump voters are responding to James Talarico, whether the race for governor may turn competitive, and how data centers and Flock surveillance cameras are presenting an opportunity to recapture some disaffected Trump voters.Go to https://Leesa.com for 30% off select mattresses during their Labor Day sale, PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code FOCUSGROUP, exclusive for my listeners.Get tickets for our Ohio live show, benefitting the Springfield, OH community.Subscribe to Sarah's Focus Group Newsletter for more exclusive insights on the Texas race this coming Tuesday.Show Links:Chris Hooks: Ken Paxton Now Has to Do the Unthinkable: Try

Working 60–80 hours a week isn't a growth strategy. It's often a sign that your business depends too much on you. Bertina Hooks shares how systems, SOPs, AI, automation, delegation, and the right team helped her scale multiple businesses while creating more freedom. The key lesson: growth becomes sustainable when owners stop doing everything themselves and build an operation that can run without them.

Cam Cooksey opens episode 66 (September 5th) in a deliberately loose, laid back mood, promising a less structured, more conversational night as the final Flow before GarVegas. There's Hooks and Harmony recap, a Scales ad that sparks a childhood tangent, and plenty of chat love. The meat is a media integrity deep dive. Cam walks through the permanent removal of Maria Bartiromo from Fox News and the reporting around Peter Navarro's claim that a top anchor and executive Susan Scott were shielding China and shaping coverage. He uses it to make his central point: every corporate outlet, Fox and CNN alike, serves money first, while Badlands exists to spread truth whether the money comes or not. He closes lighter with a nearly five minute video of America good naturedly trolling Mark Carney over Canada trade drama. Come back for DPH with Chris Paul and Jon Herold. God wins.

Mein heutiger Gast ist Popsängerin, Songwriterin und eine der großen Airplay-Königinnen im deutschen Radio. Leony liefert seit Jahren einen Dance-Pop-Ohrwurm nach dem anderen. Mehr als eine Milliarde Streams, über 30 Gold- und Platinauszeichnungen und Songs, die nicht nur bei uns, sondern auch international laufen, sprechen eine ziemlich deutliche Sprache. Dabei beginnt ihre Geschichte ziemlich weit weg vom großen Popbusiness. Leony, bürgerlich Leonie Burger, kommt aus Cham in der Oberpfalz. Ein Dorfkind, das mit sechs Jahren schon ganz genau wusste: Ich werde Popstar! Damals fängt sie mit Klavierunterricht an. Später kommen Gitarre, Chor und eine Schulband dazu. Mit 17 gewinnt sie 2014 die TV-Show „Rising Star“ als Mitglied der Band Unknown Passenger. Die Band löst sich später auf, Leony aber macht weiter. Nach dem Abitur zieht es sie erst einmal raus in die Welt: nach Los Angeles, London und Stockholm. Sie schreibt Songs, arbeitet mit internationalen Produzenten und feilt weiter an ihrer eigenen Stimme. 2020 kennen plötzlich Millionen Menschen ihre Stimme, obwohl viele noch gar nicht wissen, wer dahintersteckt. Mit „Brother Louie“ und VIZE, Imanbek und Dieter Bohlen landet sie einen Hit. Dazu kommen internationale Songs und Features, unter anderem mit Alan Walker. Dann kommt 2021 „Faded Love“. Der Song wird zum großen Durchbruch und steht acht Wochen an der Spitze der deutschen Airplay-Charts. Seitdem geht es Schlag auf Schlag: eigene Alben, Tourneen, „Remedy“, internationale Features und jede Menge Songs, bei denen man nach wenigen Sekunden weiß: Das ist Leony. Aber sie kann deutlich mehr als singen. 2023 sitzt sie in der Jury von „Deutschland sucht den Superstar“. Ein Jahr später kommt mit OneRepublic und Meduza „Fire“, der offizielle Song zur Fußball-Europameisterschaft. Und auch bei „The Voice Kids“ gibt sie ihre Erfahrung inzwischen als Coach an junge Talente weiter. Und dann ist da noch die andere Seite von Leony: Sie schreibt nicht nur ihre eigenen Songs, sondern auch für andere Künstler. Ihr Gespür für Melodien und starke Hooks ist also auch hinter den Kulissen gefragt. 2025 erschien ihr zweites Album „Oldschool Love“. Ein sehr persönliches Album, inspiriert von ihren Eltern und deren jahrzehntelanger Beziehung. Und dann ist da ihr Leben zwischen Oberpfalz und Berlin. Aufgewachsen auf dem Land, heute mitten in einer der Musikmetropolen Europas. Ein ziemlich spannender Kontrast. Wenn Leony nicht auf der Bühne steht, im Studio sitzt oder Songs schreibt, ist häufig ihre Hündin Marlie dabei. Und die ist natürlich auch heute mit ins Studio gekommen. Im Frühjahr 2027 geht Leony wieder auf Tour. „When the Lights Go Out“ führt sie durch Deutschland und Österreich. Am 10. April 2027 ist sie bei uns in Berlin im Huxleys Neue Welt zu erleben. Heute schauen wir hinter die Kulissen dieser Karriere. Wir sprechen über das Mädchen aus Cham, das mit sechs Jahren einen Traum hatte und ihn tatsächlich wahr gemacht hat. Über Familie, Fußball, Musik, das Leben in Berlin und natürlich über die Frau hinter den großen Hits. Viel Spaß jetzt mit Leony: Familienmensch, Fußballfan, Entertainerin, Songwriterin, Popstar und echte Hitmaschine, im BB RADIO Mitternachtstalk-Podcast! https://www.instagram.com/leony.music/?hl=de https://www.tiktok.com/@leony.music https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/2NpPlwwDVYR5dIj0F31EcC https://www.youtube.com/@leony https://www.threads.com/@leony.music https://www.instagram.com/jensherrmannofficial/?hl=de https://www.facebook.com/jens.herrmann.792 https://www.youtube.com/@JensHerrmann https://www.linkedin.com/in/jens-herrmann-9a6198136/ https://www.bbradio.de/ https://www.bbradio.de/shows/51d91f74-b052-42f5-978f-988dd1807ed9 https://www.instagram.com/bbradioofficial/ https://www.facebook.com/bbradioofficial https://www.tiktok.com/@bbradioofficial

In today's episode, Brock Johnson breaks down how to beat the new Instagram Reels Jail and why skip rate is the baseline metric you need to understand first. He covers why likes aren't something to obsess over, since they mostly come from followers, most accounts have a relatively low follower count, and every non-follower viewing your content is technically a stranger, plus higher views usually bring more likes anyway. The real focus is shares, which represent views from non-followers and show up as sends per reach. He  gives the basic tip of directly asking for the share, but pairing that ask with a clear reason why or a specific person to send it to. Brock also walks through the SHARE method, simple, hook, authentic, relatable, entertaining, as a framework for building shareable content, and the TRIBE framework for what actually makes something shareworthy: timely content tied to breaking news or trends, relatable content that makes people feel seen, inspiring content that motivates, beckoning content that calls on the community to act, and edgy content built around hot takes or unpopular opinions.

There's a way to pull the most viral posts in your niche in about 10 seconds. But a lot of Marketers don't know it exists.In this Bathroom Break, Jay and Daniel break down how to mine X (formerly Twitter) for viral content you can actually use. Daniel shares the exact Grok prompt he uses to surface trending posts from the last 48 hours. Jay walks through X's advanced search, and the "min_faves" trick that filters for only the posts hitting your engagement threshold. Then they go deeper: filtering by retweets, comments, date ranges, and media type to see exactly which hooks are landing. Plus: a lost loafer mystery, a linen shirt betrayal, and Jay's full descent into his "embarrassing loser phase."If you're a Marketer who wants a repeatable way to find what content actually works, this episode is for YOU.Enjoying Bathroom Break?

Most businesses don't have a marketing problem.They have a product marketing problem.They're doing far more for their clients than their marketing ever communicates.So they default to talking about dream outcomes, pain points and generic promises that sound exactly like everyone else.Meanwhile, some of their strongest hooks, offers, angles and content are already sitting inside the product.In this episode, Wes and I break down what we're calling The Product Marketing Machine — how to interrogate your own business, extract what's actually valuable and turn it into marketing people want to buy from.If you're trying to build a more predictable business, book a free Business Growth Strategy Session with our team.We'll identify the biggest constraints across your offer, marketing, sales and operations and map out what we'd focus on next.https://bit.ly/pod-your-biz-health-checkupMost founders try to create better marketing by staring at a blank page.Or they give ChatGPT an avatar document and ask it to come up with hooks.The problem is AI can only work with the information you give it.It doesn't know what happens when a client joins. It doesn't know what you do in the first 48 hours. It doesn't know why clients stay. It doesn't know the little things your team does behind the scenes. It doesn't know the unexpected wins clients rave about.And it doesn't know the parts of your product you've become so used to delivering that you don't even realise they're valuable.That's the information you need to extract.Because great product marketing isn't about inventing more shit to say.It's about making the value that's already there impossible to miss.Your delivery. Your people. Your process. Your first 90 days. Your client journey. Your mechanisms. Your proof. Your unexpected wins. Your actual product.Once you understand those deeply enough, you stop guessing what to market.The product gives you the marketing.In this episode you'll learn:• How to build a Product Marketing Machine• Why most marketing stays painfully surface-level• Why AI can't extract what you haven't told it• How to interrogate your product for better hooks, offers and angles• How to turn your delivery process into marketing• Why your first 30, 60 and 90 days should be part of your marketing• How to market the things you're already doing but aren't talking about• Why the people delivering your service can become a major differentiator• How to uncover the wins clients value that have nothing to do with your headline promise• Why mapping the multi-year client journey makes your offer stronger• How better product marketing can make a $1,500 service feel like a $5K+ offerTIMESTAMPS00:00:47 Building the Product Marketing Machine00:01:59 Why AI gives you surface-level marketing00:05:45 Stop creating and start showing00:07:33 Do prospects actually know what they're buying?00:10:59 Finding what's remarkable about your delivery00:12:44 The six-week growth cycle00:18:55 Audit what clients actually get00:20:27 The hidden value inside your service00:22:00 Why you're probably underselling your offer00:22:45 Marketing the first 90 days00:24:23 Creating faster client wins00:26:05 Mapping the 30, 60 and 90-day journey00:32:12 Marketing the people behind your product00:36:04 Turning what works now into client value00:38:33 Turning a $1,500 offer into a $5K+ offer00:41:17 Building the multi-year client journey00:43:02 From operator to business builder to leader00:48:45 Finding the wins clients actually value

In this episode we look at the prophecy of plowshares and pruning hooks and see how the enemy took these tools that God gave man to make them into things that divide and pit us against each other, even turning us into swords and spears but then we see how God, in His goodness and graciousness, reverses that prophesy and turns us into productive, creative people with great tools that can change the world and greatly advance the Kingdom of God. 

This week on the Live to Walk Again Podcast we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Bertina Hooks who is a Physician, Amputee, Podcast Host, Mother and Entrepreneur. We talked about the injury to her ankle a year prior that eventually developed an infection that caused her to go septic and in an emergency procedure have her lower leg removed, the issues she faced trying to come back to work after the amputation, and the importance of recognizing burnout in doctors or anyone for that matter. We also discussed dealing the perspective shift of being on both sides of the medical field, battling insurance companies after injury, and starting her podcast and other business ventures while still being a practicing M.D. Connect with Dr. Bertina Hooks at the links below!!

“The tools of communication have changed, the human brain has not.” In a world of endless content and shrinking attention spans, getting your message heard means giving people a reason to care. For Carmine Gallo, a communication coach, author of Viral Voices, and CEO of Gallo Communications, that starts with understanding what captures the brain's attention: emotion, relevance, and a compelling story. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Gallo joins Matt Abrahams to explore the timeless principles behind persuasive communication. From crafting attention-grabbing hooks to using analogies and storytelling, he shares practical techniques for making your ideas more emotional, clear, and memorable.Key Takeaways:Attention starts with making people care. Emotion and relevance help your message cut through the noise, giving your audience a reason to listen before you ask them to absorb your ideas.Great communication follows timeless patterns. Hooks, analogies, and structured storytelling make ideas easier to understand and remember, regardless of the platform or technology used to deliver them.Activity:Build the hook. Take a presentation, pitch, or message you're already working on and write a one-sentence opening that answers your audience's unspoken question: “Why should I care?” Make it relevant, specific, and compelling enough to earn their attention.Episode Reference Links:Carmine GalloCarmine's Book: Viral VoicesEp.103 Simple Is a Superpower: How to Communicate Any Idea to Any Audience Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (00:56) - Capturing Attention (03:30) - Timeless Communication Patterns (06:46) - The Persuasion Toolkit (10:49) - The Three-Act Structure (15:30) - The Final Three Questions (19:54) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

**Dropping Your Hooks: The Multi-Channel Prospecting System That Turns Average Salespeople Into Pipeline Machines**Average salespeople cast one or two lines and wait. Top performers drop hooks in every channel at once — and the daily volume of that outreach is what actually determines how many cars they sell.In this episode of the Poor2Pro Car Sales Training Podcast, we break down the complete “Dropping Your Hooks” framework: a systematic, multi-channel prospecting system built on the simple fishing analogy. One hook gets you one fish. Ten poles in the water give you the chance to land ten. Your work ethic is the boat that carries all of them.We cover the exact daily channels that compound into a full pipeline:- Real phone calls (the most underused and highest-impact tool left)- Short, high-urgency voicemails- Strategic texts and emails that actually get responses- Social DMs, posts, comments, and follow-up calls- Thank-you cards, referral incentives, and signature gifts that keep you top-of-mindYou'll also get the hard numbers that separate the 5–8 car month from the 20–30+ Sales Titan level, plus the non-negotiable 30-30-30 Rule (and how to scale it to 90-90-90) that forces consistent activity no matter how the day goes.If you're ready to stop hoping for walk-ins and start building a real, concurrent deal flow, this is the system.Subscribe to Poor2Pro for practical car sales training that actually moves the needle.Buy Kyle A Coffee☕️: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/poor2pro⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast Link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3J9uZkNdeue1PVLoQLowgy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Dr. Bertina Hooks has been a hospitalist, a locums doctor, a private practice owner across three locations, a utilization management reviewer, a medical expert witness, and a physician coach. She built all of that intentionally, piece by piece, while raising a daughter and running a business with no roadmap. Then in December 2022, she was hospitalized with necrotizing fasciitis and woke up without her right leg below the knee. In this episode, she talks about burnout recovery, career reinvention, and the non-clinical pathways most doctors do not know exist until they are desperate enough to start looking. Her message to every doctor who feels trapped is the same: you are not stuck, you are not broken, you just need clarity about what you are actually looking for. Timestamped Highlights [06:00]: Dr. Hooks describes how she set up her own outpatient practice from scratch, and the specific systems she built before she saw her first patient that kept charting inside clinic hours from day one. [09:00]: She explains where she learned the delegation and workflow skills that most doctors never develop, and why hospitalist medicine was the unexpected training ground for running a sustainable practice. [21:00]: The hybrid approach she used to start her private practice without financial risk, running hospitalist shifts alongside building her own panel, and why it allowed her to ramp up slowly and intentionally. [22:00]: Dr. Hooks describes the health emergency that changed everything, and what it forced her to ask herself about medicine, identity, and what she actually wanted. [25:00]: She maps out the three non-clinical career paths she coaches doctors through most often, including one that most physicians misunderstand entirely. [33:00]: The values energy audit she uses with every coaching client, and why she believes alignment between values and career is the foundation of burnout recovery. Three Key Takeaways 1. Sustainable practice requires intentional systems, not just goodwill. Dr. Hooks did not stumble into an efficient clinical day. She designed it, deliberately, before she opened her doors. Pre-visit labs ordered a week in advance. Huddles with staff before morning and afternoon sessions. Templates for normal inbox results handled by the nurse, with anything flagged coming directly to her. Scribes from early on. Delegation structured around scope of practice. She knew what had made her exhausted as a resident and as a hospitalist, and she made different decisions. The lesson is not that her system is the right one. It is that she had one, and most doctors never build theirs. 2. Your medical degree is portable in more directions than you think. Dr. Hooks has built income streams across clinical medicine, utilization management, medical expert work, and physician coaching. None of the non-clinical work required an additional degree. What it required was a willingness to see her existing skills differently, and a mindset shift around what counts as using her training. She coaches doctors who are considering a pivot and consistently finds the same thing: the barrier is almost never competence. It is imagination. The belief that there is only one way to be a doctor, and that stepping outside it means starting from scratch. 3. Burnout recovery starts with recognizing the signals before they become a crisis. Dr. Hooks describes burnout as a spectrum, and the early signals are easy to miss or explain away. The clearest early sign she names: coming back from a break and not feeling the return of motivation that used to be automatic. She teaches a values energy audit as one of her foundational coaching tools, built on a simple question: when you look at where your energy is going, how much of it is actually aligned with what you care about? That audit, she says, is often the first time a doctor has been asked that question. And the answer is almost always the beginning of everything that needs to change. Guest Bio Dr. Bertina Hooks is a board-certified internal medicine physician, entrepreneur, and physician coach based in Texas. After building a multi-location private practice, navigating a serious health emergency that resulted in a below-knee amputation, and exploring careers across utilization management, medical expert work, and telemedicine, she founded Pinnacle Business Academy to help doctors navigate burnout recovery and career reinvention. Her memoir, From Fire to Freedom: A Memoir of Transformation, Renewal, and Resilience, launches September 23rd, 2026. Find her at pinnaclebusinessacademy.org and bertinamhooksmd.org.

This week Craig and Rex take a look at players that led their league in home runs after 1920 but hit less than 200 career home runs. The list includes one Hall of Famer (George Kelly), some that came close (Jake Daubert) and some that leave all but the most fervent fans scrambling to Baseball Reference (Nick Etten). Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if available), through our store at Bookshop.org.

Fonzi sent me a text on his drive home. One line. "The reason we create content is to create trust. Trust generates demand." And that text turned into this whole episode. Because here's what most people get wrong... they think their content isn't working because the hook was weak. Or the framework was off. Or the template didn't convert. It's not that. There are three things underneath every piece of content that actually decides whether someone believes you. Miss one and it doesn't matter how good your edit is. Hit all three consistently and people show up to the call already ready to work with you. We break down all three in this one, plus how to run your existing content through it like a filter and see exactly where you're leaking trust. Also in this episode: the oil change story that explains niching better than any course, and the answer to "what if I don't have any proof yet."

Bruce S. Allardice joins us this week to discuss the Chicago White Sox in the years immediately after the Black Sox scandal that tainted the 1919 World Series. Allardice is the author of After the Black Sox: The Chicago White Sox in Transition, 1920-1926 (McFarland Press 2026).

From Exam Room to Empire: Building a Practice, Brand, and Wealth with Dr. Po Raval (Doc Dynasty)In this episode of The Pediatric Lounge, the hosts interview Dr. Po Raval, founder of Doc Dynasty, who shares her remarkable journey from launching a solo podiatry practice to becoming a successful entrepreneur, consultant, and physician branding expert.Dr. Raval explains how a podiatrist's successful treatment of her mother's ankle injury inspired her career path. She discusses gaining valuable hands-on experience during training and opening her first practice immediately after residency by leasing an affordable office inside a health club—creating an instant referral base among athletes and active patients.As healthcare reimbursement evolved, Dr. Raval diversified her income through nursing home care, consulting, and business development. She describes how earning an MBA expanded her perspective beyond clinical medicine and led to opportunities advising New Jersey Medicaid and other healthcare organizations on practice operations and systems improvement.The conversation then shifts to the modern realities of physician entrepreneurship. Dr. Raval explains why every physician should develop a personal brand, build a strong digital presence, and consistently create educational content. She shares practical strategies for leveraging websites, search engine optimization, social media analytics, and AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini to generate ideas, optimize profiles, and improve marketing efficiency.Throughout the discussion, Dr. Raval emphasizes that AI should enhance—not replace—clinical judgment. She encourages physicians to think critically, question guidelines when appropriate, maintain authentic relationships with patients, and recognize that building a successful medical practice requires both excellent clinical care and intentional business strategy.Whether you're starting your first practice, growing an established office, or exploring physician entrepreneurship, this episode provides practical advice on building a sustainable career and lasting professional legacy.Episode Chapters00:00 – Welcome and Guest Introduction01:49 – Why Dr. Raval Chose Podiatry04:04 – Understanding Podiatry Training05:29 – Building a Specialty Referral Network07:34 – Launching a Practice on a Budget11:56 – Early Growth and Marketing Strategies14:25 – Adapting to HMOs and Creating New Revenue Streams18:22 – An MBA Mindset: Consulting and Business Growth22:29 – The Modern Practice Growth Playbook26:46 – Reaching the Right Audience on Social Media31:03 – Patient Outcomes, Reviews, and Practice Growth32:35 – Creating an Effective Marketing Budget33:59 – The Story Behind Doc Dynasty37:29 – Batch Content Creation for Busy Physicians39:01 – Using AI for Hooks, Headlines, and Hashtags42:29 – Why Consistency Outperforms Viral Content44:26 – Why Marketing Is Essential for Every Practice47:52 – Patient Retention and Staying Top of Mind50:21 – Negotiation Lessons for Physicians52:33 – AI Tools Every Physician Should Know57:08 – Why AI Still Requires Critical Thinking1:02:00 – Why AI Won't Replace Great Physicians1:03:12 – Closing RemarksSupport the show
