Empathy - A Way That Works Without The Pain In the FMQ527 I said something that probably made you blink. Empathy sucks. And I meant it. Not because caring is wrong. Not because helping people is wrong. Not because being sensitive is wrong. But because absorbing other people's pain is not helping them — and it's definitely not helping you. In this deeper dive, I show you: Why emotional dumping drains you Why empathy often becomes a hiding strategy The crucial difference between empathy and compassion How to stay grounded when people offload on you And how to become truly empathetic… with yourself Because here's the truth: If you feel everyone else's pain, you'll drown. If you stay grounded and compassionate, you can actually help. And the real work? It starts with self-empathy. What We Explore 1️⃣ Why Empathy Can Be Harmful Emotional dumping and energy drain Why taking on others' pain doesn't serve them How empathy can become a badge of honour How it can also become unconscious avoidance of your own emotions 2️⃣ The Shift: Empathy ➜ Compassion Empathy = I feel your pain. Compassion = I recognise your pain — and I can support you without absorbing it. Compassion allows you to: Stay grounded Sustain your energy Think clearly Offer real support Stay emotionally stable It's the difference between drowning with someone… or throwing them a rope. 3️⃣ Process One – Sitting With Your Emotion Instead of pushing emotions away: Sit with the feeling Acknowledge it Ask: What are you trying to do for me? What are you protecting me from? What are you trying to teach me? Every emotion has a positive intention. When you learn the lesson — the emotion doesn't need to shout anymore. 4️⃣ Process Two – Compassion Without Merging (Visualisation) I guide you through: Grounding yourself Breathing deliberately Creating a subtle protective boundary Supporting someone without absorbing their pain You remain: Present Steady Caring Strong And when you walk away? You're still yourself. 5️⃣ Process Three – Deep Self-Empathy Installation This is the powerful one. You: Place the emotion in front of you Speak to it with curiosity Thank it Discover its intention Ask what it needs Create a better strategy for that intention Future pace the change You keep the intention. You release the pain. That's self-empathy. The Core Takeaway Before you help anyone else… Check in with yourself. Am I grounded? Am I breathing? Am I compassionate? Or am I merging and hiding? One emotion. One learning. Then it can let go. That's how you help yourself. That's how you genuinely help others. And that's how empathy finally works. Key Quotes From This Episode "Empathy absorbs. Compassion supports." "Every emotion has a positive intention." "Learn the lesson — and the emotion doesn't need to stay." "Help yourself first. Then you're truly available to others."

This week, we're talking 'human technology' — specifically, neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP. If you have any interest in modern day cults like NXIVM or Twin Flames Universe, you may have heard of it. But did you know that NLP also has roots in therapeutic practices like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, or that Tony Robbins was an NLP practitioner before becoming a motivational speaker?In the new podcast Mind Games, journalists and best friends Alice Hines and Zoë Lescaze investigate the origins of NLP, from its roots in the new age movement in 1970s California through the pick-up artist trend of the early 2000s. They even try their hand at hypnotizing themselves. But does it work?

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about AI and the way the things that we are measuring in business to measure AIs, the productivity, the benefits that you’re getting out of it. One of my favorite apps, Katie, is called Blind. This is an anonymous confessions app for the business world where people who work at companies—mostly in big business and big tech—share anonymous confessions. They have to say what company they’re with, but that’s it. There were three posts that really caught my eye over the weekend. The first was from a person who works at Capital One bank who said, “Hi, I’m a junior software engineer.” Three years into my career, my co‑workers are pumping out so many poll requests with Claude code and blitzing through jobs that used to take three to five days in less than an hour. I feel like every day at the office is a race to see who can generate more poll requests and complete them than anyone else. The second one was from JP Morgan Chase saying, “I just downloaded Claude coat and wtf. I don’t know what to think. Either we are cooked or saved.” The third was from an engineer at Tesla who said, “I joined recently as a contractor and don’t have access to Claude. I’m slower than the others on my team and it stresses me out.” So my question to you is this, Katie: Obviously people are using generative AI to move very fast. However, I don’t know if fast is the metric that we should be looking at here, particularly since a lot of people who manage coders don’t necessarily manage them well. They don’t. For example, very famously, Elon Musk, when he took over Twitter, fired people who didn’t write enough code. He measured people’s productivity solely on lines of code written. Anyone who’s actually written code for a living knows you want less code written rather than more because there’s a certain amount of elegance to writing less code. So my question to you is, as we talk about AI proficiency—sort of AI proficiency week here at Trust Insights—what would you tell people who are managing people using AI about measuring their proficiency and measuring the results that they’re getting? Katie Robbert: So first, let me answer your question. No, I do not frequent—was it Blind? Yeah. Anyone who knows me knows that I am honest and direct to a fault. So no, that would annoy me more than anything—just say it to my face. But that aside, I understand why apps like that exist. Not every company builds a culture where an open‑door policy is actually true. The policy is: the door is open only if you have positive things to share; the door is closed if you have complaints. I sympathize with people who feel the need to turn to those kinds of apps to express concern, frustration, fear. It seems, Chris, that a lot of the fear over the past couple of years is: “Will AI take my job?” In those environments, leadership decisions about process and output are really pushing for AI to take the job. What I’m not seeing is what the success metrics are. If the metric is faster and more, then you’re missing the third most important one—quality. We don’t know what kind of quality is being produced. Given those short snippets of context, we can assume it’s probably mediocre. It’s probably slightly above the bar, but nothing outstanding—enough to get by, enough to keep the lights on. For some larger companies, that’s fine because you can bury mediocre work in the politics and red tape of an enterprise‑sized organization. No one really expects much more, which is a little sad. So what I would say to managers is, number one, if you’re not clear on what you’re being measured on, or if your success metric is faster and more, head for the hills—run. That is not good. I mean it in all sincerity; that is not going to serve you in the long run because those metrics are not sustainable. Christopher S. Penn: And yet that’s what—particularly at a bigger company—where I can definitely, obviously at a company like Trust Insights, we’re four people. Outcomes are something we all measure because we have a direct line to outcomes. If we sell more courses, book more keynote speeches, get more retainer clients, we all have a hand in that and can see very clearly the business outcome. At a company like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, or Capital One, there are hundreds of thousands of employees. Your line of sight to any kind of business outcome is probably five layers of management removed. The front line is way over there—tellers, for example. You write the software that writes the software that manages the system the tellers use. So you don’t have clear outcomes from a business‑level perspective. Because I used to work at places like AT&T where you are just a cog in the machine, your outcomes very often are either faster or more because no one knows what else to measure. Katie Robbert: In companies like that, those outcomes are—quote, unquote—good enough because of the nature of what you produce. Consumers have become so dependent on your company that we often talk about the really crappy customer service at cable and Internet providers. There are only so many of them, and they’re all the same. We have become reliant on that technology and have no choice but to put up with crappy service from the big providers. The same goes for the financial industry. We don’t have a choice other than to rely on these crappy companies because we aren’t equipped to stand up our own financial institutions and change the rules. It’s a big, old industry, and that’s why they operate the way they do. It’s disheartening. When it comes down to humans, you have to make your own personal choices. Are you okay contributing to the mediocrity of the company and never really advancing? Chris, what you’ve been saying—what is the art of the possible? They don’t know, but they also don’t care. They’re not looking to disrupt the industry. No other companies are starting up to disrupt them because they’re so massive; they’re okay with the status quo, changing at a glacial pace, if at all. It’s not a great story to tell. You might have a consistent paycheck, but you might not have a lot of passion for the work you do. It might just be clock in at nine, clock out at five, with two 15‑minute breaks and a 30‑minute lunch—and that’s fine for a lot of people. That works for survival. Outside of that work environment is where you find joy, passion, and the things you’re really interested in. All to say, the advice I would give to managers is: how much are you willing to put up with? Those industries aren’t going to change. Christopher S. Penn: So in the context of AI proficiency, what do you advise them to focus on? Knowing that, to your point, these places are so calcified, faster is one of the only benchmarks that matter, alongside constantly shrinking budgets. Cheaper is built in because you have to do 5 % less every year. How do you suggest a manager or employee who feels the fastest typist wins the day and gets the promotion—even if the quality is zero—handle this? The Tesla engineer example is interesting: they don’t have access to generative AI, co‑workers do, they’re much faster, and the contractor fears being fired. How do we resolve this for team members, knowing that these companies are so calcified that even if a department takes a stand on quality, the other twenty departments competing for budget will say, “Great, you focus on quality; we’ll take your budget because we’ll produce ten times more next year.” Even quality sucks. Katie Robbert: The Tesla example is an outlier. We don’t have context for why that person doesn’t have access to generative AI—maybe they’re brand new. Contractors don’t get access to paid tools, so that explains it. When we talk about levels of AI proficiency, generic training doesn’t work; it doesn’t stick. Companies and individuals need to assess their AI proficiency. We typically do this on a six‑point scale, from Basic to Advanced. Within each level are skill sets: Level 1—editing, correcting grammar, asking it to write code. Level 2—writing code and reading code. Level 3—building QA plans. Level 4—providing business or product requirements, agile cues, or building a project plan. It’s like a career path: today I’m a junior analyst, tomorrow I want to be a senior analyst. The same applies to AI proficiency. My recommendation for managers and individuals stuck in those situations—or anyone looking to level up their AI proficiency—is to look at what’s next, what you don’t know. In the case of Tesla or JP Morgan, they will only produce a limited variety of things. In banking, look at the use cases and how you’re using AI. If you’re building code, how do you automate while keeping a human in the loop? Human‑in‑the‑loop means literal human intervention; you’re not just setting it and forgetting it like a rotisserie chicken. You must ensure a human is paying attention. Perhaps your KPIs aren’t quality of output, but if you start delivering incorrect work, customers complain, and the company loses money, the quality of your output will suddenly matter. It doesn’t matter how fast you’re creating it. For the Tesla contractor who lacks internal AI tools, they can get access to their own tools and build their skill set: acknowledge they’re not as fast as full‑time employees, determine what they need to do to match or outpace them, and work on it in their own time if they care. In that instance, the person is worried about job security, so it’s probably in their best interest to act. Christopher S. Penn: I like how you analogize the six levels to basically the three levels of management. The first two levels are individual contributors; the next two are middle management; the final two are leadership—going from typing the thing to delegating it entirely to someone else. That’s a great analogy. I think after this episode I’m going to revise that chart to help people wrap their brains around it. What does the level of AI performance efficiency mean? It means you go from individual contributor to leader, eventually leading machines—not necessarily humans. The Tesla example worries me because the company is essentially asking contractors to bring their own AI tools—a data‑privacy and security nightmare. Still, when I think about our clients who engage us for AI readiness assessments, we see a hierarchy of people with different proficiency levels outpacing each other. Is it fair to say that people with more proficiency—or who invest more in themselves—will blow past peers who are not? Do those peers need to worry about career viability when a peer becomes a mythical 10× engineer or marketer? Katie Robbert: The short answer is yes, but that’s true in any career path. Unless you’re in a company that promotes someone based on appearance rather than ability, which is another conversation, it’s absolutely true. Levels of AI proficiency run in parallel with organizational maturity. AI proficiency can’t stand alone without a certain amount of maturity within the organization. We often talk about foundations—the five Ps: documented processes, platforms, good governance, and privacy. Those have to exist for someone to be set up for success and move through AI proficiency levels. Otherwise, they’re becoming proficient against creative garbage. That won’t translate to better career opportunities because, boiled down, it’s garbage in, garbage out—you become proficient at moving garbage around, and nobody wants to hire that. Christopher S. Penn: An essay from last year discussed the AI reckoning in larger companies. It said AI is doing what decades of management consulting couldn’t—showcasing as you apply AI to processes. Entire levels of management are unnecessary, doing nothing but holding meetings and sending emails. The essay posited that mid‑level managers may realize they only push paper from point A to point B. In those cases, what should people in those positions think about for their own AI proficiency, knowing that improving it will reveal that they add little value? Katie Robbert: As someone who’s spent most of her career managing, I’ve often had to defend my role. Once, an agency considered dissolving my position because they thought I didn’t bring anything to the table—obviously not true. The team that grew from three people to a $3 million profit center also knows that. Managers need to think about delegation: not just handing off tasks, but ensuring the right people are in the right seats. Coaching is a big part of the job—bringing people up through their proficiency levels. If I’m a middle manager using the individual‑contributor, manager, leadership matrix, how do I get out of that vulnerable middle spot? Maybe I need to create more workflows, find efficiencies, save the budget, identify level‑one champions, and build them up. Those are the things someone in that middle vulnerable section should consider, because they are vulnerable. Many companies have managers who don’t do squat. I’ve worked alongside those managers; it’s maddening. One thing that will evolve with the manager role is that you can no longer be just a manager. You can’t just manage things; you have to bring some level of individual contribution and thought leadership to the role. It’s no longer enough to just manage—if that makes sense. Christopher S. Penn: It makes sense. Over the weekend I was working on something for myself: as technology evolves and I delegate more to it, the guardrails for quality have to get stricter. I revised the rules I use with my Python coding agents—new, enhanced, advanced rules with more guidelines and descriptions about what the agent is and is not allowed to do. This morning my kickoff process broke, so I told the agent to fix it according to the new rules. I realized the previous application sucked, and I fixed it. Now it’s much happier. I think building quality guardrails will differentiate managers who take on AI management—not just people management. Yes, AI can be faster, but there’s no guarantee it’s better. If I’m a manager who gets faster and better results than peers who just hope it works, I keep my job. What do you think about that angle? Katie Robbert: It makes sense. Take the middle‑manager example: the VP says, “Client needs these five things.” The hierarchy follows—manager, then individual contributors. The middle person can step up, create a process, develop a proof‑of‑concept example based on the VP’s input, delegate with quality assurance, and cut down iterations. That saves time, saves budget, gets results faster, and reduces frustration because expectations are clear. Christopher S. Penn: The axiom we talk about when discussing AI optimization is bigger, better, faster, cheaper. Faster obviously saves time and money. We don’t often talk about bigger and better—doing things that add value that wasn’t there before. The value you create should be higher quality. To wrap up AI proficiency, we have three divisions, six levels, and a focus: if you’re worried about someone else being faster, be as fast and be better quality. Cutting corners for speed will catch up to you.

In this conversation, Paul Blankley and Ryan Janssen, founders of Zenlytic, drop in to discuss the massive shift in how we build software and handle data. We trace their journey from studying early NLP and Transformers at Harvard right when the BERT paper dropped, to building a company that relies on cutting-edge LLMs. As far as I know, they're the first to use LLM's for analytics.We dive deep into the reality of the agentic era: engineers are no longer writing the bulk of the code; they are managing agents, verifying outputs, and maintaining ridiculously high standards. We also explore why the industry needs to embrace "net negative scaffolding" as models get smarter, and why having good "taste" might be the ultimate human moat left in tech.Bonus: To prove that software development is changing faster than ever, we literally "vibe coded" a brand-new CRM called "Slop Force" in 20 minutes during this episode.

Episode 306 - “In the Midst of an Emergency”Emergencies don't arrive with preparation. They arrive with urgency, emotion, and the immediate demand to respond. In this Michelle and Scott explore what actually helps in the middle of a crisis—not the plans we wish we had made, but the mindset and choices that help us navigate difficult moments while they're unfolding. They talk about how people steady themselves when life suddenly shifts, how to make clear decisions when emotions are high, and why the way we think about emergencies can shape how we move through them. This isn't about avoiding crisis. It's about learning how to meet it. If you've ever found yourself in the middle of a moment where everything suddenly mattered all at once, this conversation offers practical ways to stay grounded, focused, and able to move forward—one step at a time.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

They launch products, send emails, and see exciting bursts of sales. For a moment, everything feels like it is working.

It rises during the next launch, then falls once more. Your revenue starts to look like waves on the ocean—up and down, again and again.If you feel like you keep hitting a $30K ceiling but cannot stay above it, you are not alone.

In this episode we sit down with Kenneth Soares, hypnotherapist, NLP trainer, and advanced EFT practitioner whose guided meditations and affirmations have reached over 100 million plays worldwide. Kenneth shares deep insights into how the subconscious mind shapes our beliefs, behaviors, and identity, and why real transformation requires the courage to face reality rather than avoid it. We explore the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing, the dangers of getting lost in endless “rabbit holes,” and how discernment, self-responsibility, and inner work form the foundation of authentic growth. Kenneth also shares powerful perspectives on parenting in the modern world and how to consciously support the psychological development of our children in an age of constant conditioning.Time Stamps(00:00) Teaser(00:27) Opening Conversation(10:36) Meet Kenneth Soares(12:35) Childhood Criticism and Freedom(14:10) Breakup and Finding Self(17:00) Dissatisfaction and Hypnotherapy Leap(18:41) Fatherhood Promise and First Course(26:07) Subconscious Mind Explained(30:29) Rabbit Holes and Family Balance(43:27) Doom Loop and Perception Filters(48:16) New Age Spirituality Critique(52:11) Intuition vs Avoidance / Self Esteem Needs Reality(01:01:39) Parenting the Subconscious(01:25:11) High Standards High Support(01:30:12) Healthy Conflict Repair(01:39:51) EFT and Self Tools(01:46:19) Master Your Emotions(01:52:53) Hypnotherapy Past Life StoryGuest Linkhttps://kennethsoares.earth/ https://www.instagram.com/kennethsoares.livingfully/ https://www.youtube.com/KennethSoaresUniverse Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

YOU NEED PURPOSE Why Successful People Still Feel Lost Why do so many people who are intelligent, capable, and driven still feel like something in their life doesn't quite fit? In this episode, Dr. Matt James breaks down one of the most important ideas he's taught for over 30 years: Without purpose, everything else starts to feel disconnected. You can learn powerful techniques. You can study mindset. You can attend seminars and read every self-development book out there. But if you don't have a clear purpose, those tools often feel like they have nowhere to go. Your career may feel misaligned. Your conversations may feel repetitive. Even success can begin to feel flat. In this conversation, Dr. Matt explains: • Why purpose gives meaning to everything else you learn • Why motivation fades when purpose is missing • The difference between someone empowering you vs. learning how to empower yourself • Why purpose is the foundation of lasting fulfillment At Empowerment Inc., the mission has never been to empower people for them. It's about teaching people how to empower themselves. And that begins with purpose. What drives your purpose right now? Empowerment, Inc. is the leading authority on NLP, Huna, Mental and Emotional Release®, and Hypnosis.

If you've been feeling burnt out, emotionally exhausted, and quietly assuming that must mean you're failing… I want you to hear this clearly: You are not failing. You're capable. You're invested. You're doing a lot right. And if motherhood still feels heavy? That heaviness often shows up as guilt—guilt for being tired, guilt for wanting space, guilt for not enjoying every single moment the way you think you “should.” In this episode, I'm joined by Josh Davis, a cognitive behavioral psychologist, co-author of the USA Today bestseller The Difference That Makes the Difference, a master practitioner and trainer in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and founder of the Science-Based Leadership Institute. Josh teaches the science of how people actually change—not by trying harder, but by updating the beliefs and mental models driving our reactions. We dig into the specific beliefs that quietly fuel mom guilt and emotional exhaustion… and what shifts when you start updating them. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why moms default to “I'm failing” when they struggle—and how that belief fuels shame instead of change The NLP presupposition “There is no failure, only feedback” and how it instantly creates more options for what to do next Why you're not reacting to “reality”… you're reacting to your internal map of reality (and how that explains overwhelm) The powerful reminder: “The map is not the territory”—and how it helps you stop treating feelings like facts How to “earn the right to influence” your kids (or anyone) by understanding the reality where their behavior makes sense Why telling your kid “it's not a big deal” usually backfires—and what to do instead The belief “All the resources I need are already within me” and how it helps you stop outsourcing confidence to the next system, script, or strategy A practical mindset shift: treating change like an experiment instead of a life sentence How to define success in a way that's actually within your control—so you stop evaluating yourself with impossible standards Why incremental change is often the fastest way to create lasting transformation Why This Episode Matters So many overwhelmed moms don't need more discipline, more hustle, or another productivity hack. What you really need is to identify the beliefs running in the background—because when those beliefs go unseen, normal stress turns into shame. And shame is heavy. But once you can update the belief underneath it all, you don't have to “try harder” to feel better. You start responding differently because you're seeing the situation differently.

How you show up in the world matters more than you may realize

By studying Plato and Socrates for more than a decade, Anise Frost learned the art of asking questions that unlock the hidden parts of people.Her mastery of that skill has forged relationships of trust with brands and organisations who turn to her for team coaching and consultancy. In return she helps them explore deeply and unearth new pathways for development.Anise was a maths teacher when she discovered coaching, and her years in the classroom gave her relational skills, resilience and an ability to hold space that would be difficult to develop in the same way in any other setting.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Anise describes how team coaching allows her to bring “all the magic” of teaching, coaching, and neuro-linguistic programming together to enhance collaboration, make group dynamics visible, and instill purpose in the teams she works with. In conversation with host Alex Whitton, Anise describes how she curates coaching spaces in which men can be vulnerable, as well as spaces where women in leadership can accelerate their development. She also speaks about the Executive Round Table discussions she facilitates for her LinkedIn contacts, offering a space where people from divergent industries can reflect on resonant themes and topics.Anise and Alex also talk about:Having the confidence to not only sit with uncertainty but flex in response to itHow to keep your cup full and avoid the common pitfall of compassion fatigueWhat happens when we focus too much on asking the right question and not enough on being curiousHow to stop working against the grain of your own preferences when building your coaching businessAnise also shares the story of meeting with one of the world's biggest brands and explains how she side-stepped her imposter syndrome to allow her expertise and brilliance to shine undimmed.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- The Coaching Academy https://www.the-coaching-academy.com/ - More Happi https://morehappi.com/ - Women in Business Network https://wibn.co.uk/- Sam Isaacson on The Coach's Journey Podcast https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/112-sam-isaacson-the-challenges-facing-coaching-in-the-age-of-ai - Claire Pedrick on The Coach's Journey Podcast https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-44-claire-pedrick-cutting-through-complexity-and-simplifying-coaching - NLP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming- Rich Litvin https://richlitvin.com/ - Nicky Davies https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicky-j-davies-executivecoach/- Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Five_Dysfunctions_of_a_Team

What if the very behaviors you judge in yourself and others are not flaws at all, but echoes of subconscious programming and unresolved trauma waiting to be understood?In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Tracey Steady-Hardcastle sits down with Kelley Oswin and Laura Slinn of New Avalon to explore their unique approach to Evolved Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

They certify coaches and practitioners across multiple modalities and are known both for their ethical, evidence-informed approach and for the profound, miracle-driven results they help facilitate through deep subconscious and cellular-level transformation.They are co-authors of the best-selling books Evolved NLP and Is Coaching Your Calling?, and are widely respected for translating deep inner work into clear, embodied leadership. Their methodology blends neurosomatic tools, evolved NLP, and developmental theory to support the next generation of ethical, impact-driven practitioners.This conversation blends science, spirituality, and psychology, offering practical tools for coaches, healers, and anyone navigating personal growth in complex times.

I got on a sales call with one of the biggest marketing gurus in the world. I admired him. I had watched his launches. I had seen him make millions in a single day. I was a total fan.Thirty minutes later, I almost sent him $8,000.If I had said yes, my business would have collapsed.

It is also the natural start of the new year, which begins on the spring equinox, March 20 this year. That is the day when the Sun reaches the Zero Point, at 0 Aries. And what is happening at the point right now? Yes we have Neptune there and we did have Saturn there too just recently . And in March we'll have other planets at that point. Plus a game changing eclipse. This is the annual starting line, the reboot, and the astrological birthday, so let's celebrate. March is the 3rd month of the year and in 2026 it is a 4 year. 4 is the number of stability, structure, and grounding. There are 4 elements – water, fire, earth, and air. There are 4 seasons, 4 quarters in an annual cycle. 4 is the number of completion and of balance. With 4 we feel structured, grounded, and are standing on a stable foundation, , and it is fitting that we have a 4 month in March. The March energy theme reflects that with a theme of Rebirth, Reckoning, and Re-Structuring. We have rebirth with spring when all of nature returns to life after hibernating over a long, cold winter. We have a Reckoning as we make careful, deliberate, intentional choices about our life path. This includes where we are now and where we want to be, who gets access to us and our energy, where we spend our time, energy, and effort, and how we manage our energy resources. Re-structuring refers to how we will build our lives, and instead of choosing a random path, we have to become architects of our reality. With a focus on the path we can become victims to destiny, uncertainty, surprises, and unexpected events. As architects of our reality we have a design, a plan, and a vision of the outcome. There's room for course correction but far fewer surprises and upsets. Read the rest of the article on the blog at this link.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, it is the AI Wars. Katie, you had some thoughts and some observations about the most recent things going on with Anthropic, with OpenAI, with Google XAI and stuff like that. So at the table, what’s going on? Katie Robbert: I don’t want to get too deep into the weeds about why people are jumping ship on OpenAI and moving toward the cloud. That’s in the news, it’s political, you can catch up on that. The short version is that decisions from the top at each of these companies have been made that people either agree with or don’t based on their own values and the values of their companies. When publicly traded companies make unpopular decisions that don’t align with the majority of their user base, people jump ship. They were like, okay, I don’t want to use you. We’ve seen it with Target and many other companies that made decisions people didn’t feel aligned with their personal values. Now we are seeing people abandoning OpenAI and signing on to Anthropic’s Claude. That’s what I wanted to chat about today because we talk a lot about business continuity and risk management. What happens when you get too closely tied to one piece of software and something goes wrong? We’ve talked about this on past episodes in theory because, up until now, software outages have generally been temporary. You don’t often see a mass exodus of a very popular piece of software that people have built their entire businesses around. Before we get into what this means for the end user and possible solutions, Chris, I would like to get your thoughts, maybe your cat’s thoughts on what’s going on. Christopher S. Penn: One of the things we’ve said from very early on in the AI space, because it changes so rapidly, is that brand loyalty to any vendor is generally a bad idea. If you were a hater of Google Bard—for good reason—Bard was a terrible model. If you said, I’m never going to touch another Google product again, you would have missed out on Gemini and Gemini 3 and 3.1, which is currently the top state‑of‑the‑art model. If you were all in on Claude, when Claude 2.1 and 2.5 came out and were terrible, you would have missed out on the current generation of Opus 4.6 and so on. Two things come to mind. One, brand loyalty in this space is very dangerous. It is dangerous in tech in general. Not to get too political, but the tech companies do not care about you, so there’s no reason to give them your loyalty. Second, as people start building agentic AI, you should think about abstraction layers. This concept dates back to the earliest days of computing: we never want to code directly against a model or an operating system. Instead we want an abstraction layer that separates our code from the machinery. It’s like an engine compartment in a car—you should be able to put in a new engine without ripping apart the entire car. If you do that well when building AI agents, when a new model comes along—regardless of political circumstances or news headlines—you can pull the old engine out, install the new one, and keep delivering the highest‑quality product. Katie Robbert: I don’t disagree with that, but that is not accessible to everybody, especially smaller businesses that view software like OpenAI or Google’s Gemini as desperately needed solutions. We’ve relied on Claude and Co‑Work, its desktop application, heavily. Over the weekend I realized how reliant I’ve become on it in the past two weeks. If it stopped working, what does that mean for the work I’m trying to move forward? That’s a huge concern because I don’t have the coding skills or resources to replicate it right now. What I’ve been doing in Co‑Work is because we’re limited on resources, but Co‑Work has advanced to the point where I can replicate what I would need if I hired a team of designers, developers, and marketers. It shook me to my core that this could go away. So what does that mean for me, the business owner, in the middle of multiple projects if I can’t access them? This morning Claude had an outage—unsurprisingly, the servers were overloaded because people are stepping away from OpenAI and moving into Claude. Claude released an ad: “Switch to Claude without starting over. Brief your preferences and context from other AI providers to Claude. With one copy‑paste, Claude updates its memory and picks up right where you left off. Memory is available on all paid plans.” For many people the ability to switch from one large language model to another felt like a barrier because everything built inside OpenAI couldn’t be transferred. Claude removed that barrier, opening the floodgates, and their servers were overloaded. Users who had been using the system regularly were like, what do you mean? I can’t get the work done I planned for this morning. Christopher S. Penn: There are two different answers depending on who you are. For you, Katie, as the CEO and my business partner, I would come over, say we’re going to learn Claude code, install the terminal application, and install Claude code router, which allows you to switch to any model from any provider so you can continue getting work done. Unfortunately, that isn’t a scalable option for everyone in our community. My suggestion for others is that it’s slightly harder but almost every major company has an environment where you can install a no‑code solution that provides at least some of those capabilities. Google’s is called Anti‑Gravity. OpenAI’s is called Codex. Alibaba’s can be used within tools like Client or Kil. If you have backed up your prompts and workflows, you can move them into other systems relatively painlessly. For example, Google’s Anti‑Gravity supports the skills format, so if you’ve built skills like the Co‑CEO, you can bring them into Anti‑Gravity. It’s not obvious, but you can port from one system to another relatively quickly. Katie Robbert: That brings us to the point that software fails—it’s just code. What is your backup plan if the system you’re heavily reliant on goes away? We’ve always said hypothetically, “if it goes away…,” and now we’re at that point. Not only are people leaving a major software provider, they are also struggling with switching costs. They’re struggling to bring their stuff over because everything lives within the system. A lot of people are building and not documenting, and that’s a problem. Christopher S. Penn: It is a problem. If you’ve been in the space for a while and understand the technology, backups and fallback systems have gotten incredibly good. About a month ago Alibaba released Quinn 3.5 in various sizes. The version that runs on a nice MacBook is really good—scary good. It’s about the equivalent of Gemini 3 Flash, the day‑to‑day model many folks use without realizing it. Having an open‑weights model you can install on a laptop that rivals state‑of‑the‑art as of three months ago is nuts. The challenge is that it’s not well documented, but it’s something we’ve been saying for two or three years: if you’re going all in on AI, you need a backup system that is capable. The good news is that providers like Alibaba, Quinn, Kimmy, Moonshot, and Jipu AI—many Chinese companies—ensure the technology isn’t going away. So even if Anthropic or OpenAI went out of business tomorrow, you have access to the technologies themselves. You can keep going while everyone else is stuck. Katie Robbert: If it’s not a concern for executives mandating AI integration, it should open eyes to the possibility of failure. Let’s be realistic—it’s not going to happen tomorrow, but it makes me think of the panic when Google Analytics switched from Universal Analytics to GA4. The systems aren’t compatible, data definitions changed, and companies lost historic data. Fortunately we had a backup plan. Chris, you always ran Matomo in the background as a secondary system in case something happened with Google Analytics, so we still had historic data. We’re at a pivotal point again: if you don’t have a backup system for your agentic AI workflows, you’re in trouble. Guess what? It’s going to fail, it will come crashing down, and you won’t know what to do. So let’s figure that out. Christopher S. Penn: If you’re building with agentic autonomous systems like Open Claw and its variants and you’re not building on an open‑weights model first, you’re taking unnecessary risks. Today’s open‑weights models like Quinn 3.5 and Minimax M2.5 are smart, capable, and about one‑tenth the cost of Western providers. If you have a box on your desk, you can run your life on it. You’d better use a model or have an abstraction layer that allows you to switch models so you can continue to run your life from this box. I would not rely on a pure API play from one major provider because if they go away, the transition will be rough. Now is the best time to build that level of abstraction. If you’re using tools like Claude code or other coding tools, you can have them make these changes for you. You have to be able to articulate it, and you should articulate with the 5B framework by Trust Insights. Once you do that, you can be proactive about preventing disasters. Katie Robbert: Is that unique to coding tools or does it also apply to chats and custom LLMs people have built? Obviously we have background information for Co‑CEO well documented, but let’s say we didn’t. Let’s say we built it and it lived as a skill somewhere. That’s a concern because we’ve grown to heavily rely on that custom agent. What if Claude shuts down tomorrow? We can’t access it. What do we do? Christopher S. Penn: The Co‑CEO—those fancy words like agents and skills—they’re just prompts. You can take that skill, which is a prompt file, fire up Anything LLM, turn on Quinn 3.5, and it will read that skill and get to work. You can do that in consumer applications like Anything LLM, which is just a chat box like Claude. The only thing uniquely missing right now is an equivalent for Claude Co‑Work, but it won’t be long before other tools have that. Even today you can use a tool like Klein or Kelo inside Visual Studio Code, install those skills, and have access to them. So even with Co‑CEO, you can drop that skill because it’s just a prompt and resume where you left off, as long as you have all data backed up and not living in someone else’s system, and you have good data governance. The tools are almost agnostic. All models are incredibly smart these days, even open‑weights models. I saw an open‑weights model over the weekend with 13 billion parameters that runs in about 12 GB of VRAM, so a mid‑range gaming laptop can run it. Co‑CEO Katie could live on perpetuity on a decent laptop. Katie Robbert: But you have to have good data governance. You need backups and documentation, then you can move them to any other system to make it more tool‑agnostic. If you don’t have good data governance or the basic prompts you’re reusing, we’ve been talking about this since day one. What’s in your prompt library? What frameworks are you using? What knowledge blocks have you created? If you don’t have those, you need to stop, put everything down, and start creating them, because you’ll be in a world of hurt without the basics. If you have a custom GPT you use daily, is it well documented—how it works, how it’s updated, how it’s maintained—so that if you can no longer subscribe to OpenAI, you can move to a different system. Katie Robbert: That move, especially if you’re using client‑facing tools, is not going to be overly traumatic. It’s not going to bring everything to a screeching halt. Many companies think everything will halt, but we haven’t explored personally what Claude meant by a copy‑paste migration. It feels like an oversimplification of what you actually have to do to replicate your system in Claude. Katie Robbert: But the fact they’re thinking about it, knowing people are panicking, is a good thing for Claude. It’s probably more complicated. The more you build, the deeper you are in the weeds, the more complicated it will be to port everything over. That’s why, as you build, you need documentation. Katie Robbert: That’s for nerds. Katie Robbert: I’m a nerd. I need documentation because it makes my life easier. You’re the first to ask, “where’s the documentation?” Do you have the PRD? Do you have the business requirements? I’m not touching anything until we have that. It makes me incredibly happy because look how much more you’ve accomplished with these systems and how zero panic you have about the AI wars—you can use whatever system you feel like that day. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. For folks listening, you can catch this on YouTube. This is my folder of all stuff—my Claude environment. It lives outside of Claude, on my hard drive, backed up to Trust Insights’ Google Cloud every Monday and Friday. It includes agents, document reviewers, the CFO, Co‑CEO, Katie, documentation, rules files for code standards, reference and research knowledge blocks, individual skills, and a separate folder of knowledge blocks. All of this lives outside any AI system—just files on disk backed up to our cloud twice a week. So no matter what, if my laptop melts down or gets hit by a meteor, I won’t lose mission‑critical data. This is basic good data governance. No matter what happens in the industry, if all the Western tech providers shut down tomorrow, I can spin up LM Studio, turn on the quantized model, and run it on my computer with my tools and rules. Our business stays in business when the rest of the world grinds to a halt. That will be a differentiating factor for AI‑forward companies: have a backup ready, flip the switch, and we’re switched over. Katie Robbert: If we look at it in a different context, it’s like the panic when a human decides to leave a company. You have that two‑week window to download everything they’ve ever done—wrong approach. It’s the same if you don’t have documentation for a human and no redundancy plan. If Chris wants to go on vacation, everything can’t come to a screeching halt. We’ve put controls in place so he can step away. We want that for any employee. Many companies don’t have even that basic level of documentation. If each analyst does a unique job and no one else can do it, you have no redundancy, no backup plan. If that analyst leaves for a better job, clients get mad while you scramble. It’s the same scenario with software. Christopher S. Penn: Now that’s a topic for another time, but one thing I’ve seen is the less you as an individual have fair knowledge, the more irreplaceable you theoretically are. That’s not true. Many protect job security by not documenting, but if everything is well documented, a less competent match could replace you. We saw Jack Dorsey’s company Block cut its workforce by 5,000, saying they’re AI‑forward. There’s a constant push‑pull: if you have SOPs and documentation, what’s to stop you from being replaced by a machine? Katie Robbert: I say bring it. I would love that, but I’m also professionally not an insecure human. You can’t replace a human’s critical thinking. If the majority of what you do is repetitive, that’s replaceable. What you bring to the table—creativity, critical thinking, connecting the dots before AI, documentation, owning business requirements, facilitating stakeholder conversations—is not easily replaceable. If Chris comes to me and says I’ve documented everything you do, and we give it all to a machine, I would say good luck. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, it’s worth a shot. Christopher S. Penn: All right. To wrap up, you absolutely should have everything valuable you do with AI living outside any one AI system. If it’s still trapped in your ChatGPT history, today is the day to copy and paste it into a non‑AI system, ideally one that’s shared and backed up. Also, today is the day to explore backup options—look for inference providers that can give you other options for mission‑critical stuff. No matter what happens to the big‑name brands, you have backup options.

Episode 305 - “Book Review: The Knight in Rusty Armor”What if the armor you're most proud of is the very thing keeping you from being known for who you truly are? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore The Knight in Rusty Armor by Robert Fisher—a deceptively simple allegorical tale about identity, protection, vulnerability, and the slow, sometimes uncomfortable process of removing the layers we've mistaken for ourselves. They'll talk about how the knight's armor represents the roles we cling to, the competence we hide behind, and the emotional distance we justify as strength. And they'll unpack what it means to face the inner journey the story invites—one castle, one truth, one layer at a time. If you've ever felt successful but strangely unseen . . . capable but disconnected . . . this conversation offers a thoughtful reflection on what it might mean to soften without losing yourself. After all, sometimes the bravest act isn't fighting harder.

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon sits down with Matt Johnson, who shares his remarkable journey from surviving a severe brain injury to discovering powerful mind-body approaches to healing.Following his injury, Matt found himself navigating persistent symptoms and limitations that conventional approaches struggled to resolve. This experience led him to explore hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and other subconscious-focused methods — ultimately transforming not only his own recovery but also his professional path.Together, Leigh and Matt explore how the subconscious mind influences pain perception, the role trauma can play in chronic pain patterns, and how techniques such as hypnosis and NLP may help individuals reframe experiences, reduce suffering, and support recovery. The conversation highlights the profound connection between mind and body, while offering insight into how empowering the individual can become a central part of the healing process.This episode provides a thought-provoking look at alternative perspectives on pain management and recovery, and invites listeners to consider how addressing subconscious patterns may open new pathways toward healing.Find Matt Johnson:https://mattjohnsonnlp.com/https://allmylinks.com/mattjohnsonnlpYou can find Leigh @:Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme – https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide – https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh – https://www.bodychek.co.uk/

In this episode of Empowered Through Compassion, I speak with Brooke Kekos, trauma recovery mentor, clinical hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and author of Shattered, Broken, & Beautiful: Losing My Religion and Finding Faith. Brooke was raised in a third-generation Jehovah's Witness family and shares her courageous journey of leaving a high-control religious environment and breaking free from patterns of emotional and relational abuse. Our conversation explores religious trauma, identity loss, nervous system dysregulation, and the long, layered process of reclaiming self-trust. Brooke reflects on moving from indoctrination and shame toward autonomy, integration, and spiritual awakening on her own terms. What makes this conversation so powerful is Brooke's authenticity. She holds a deep honesty and a profound hope. We talk about how high-control systems shape belief and how healing begins with trusting your inner wisdom. Brooke beautifully describes change as “planting seeds,” in others to help them have space for their own inner truth. In this way, we can help others reclaim their radical and beautiful authenticity.

What happens when outward success no longer matches your inner truth?

You're intelligent. You're capable. You're prepared. So why does your body still react under pressure? In this episode of the Social Skills Mastery Podcast, I sit down with certified hypnotherapist Kristine Ovsepian to explore the physiological side of anxiety and whether tools like hypnotherapy and breathwork can reduce the internal friction that keeps high-achieving professionals from speaking up and stepping forward. We discuss what hypnotherapy actually is (and isn't), how it works neurologically, whether it can help with social anxiety and fear of visibility, and how trauma and stress responses shape professional performance. We also break down breathwork in practical terms and explore when hypnotherapy is a smart complement to coaching. If you've normalized the tension before meetings, the racing thoughts before presentations, or the quiet avoidance of leadership visibility,  this episode will challenge you to reconsider whether that friction is necessary. In This Episode, We Discuss: What hypnotherapy actually is and how it differs from stage hypnosis What happens in the brain and nervous system during hypnosis Whether hypnotherapy can reduce social anxiety and fear of public speaking How trauma (big or small) can shape adult anxiety patterns What breathwork is and how it affects emotional regulation When hypnotherapy is appropriate — and when it isn't   As a clinical hypnotherapist with a Master's in Psychology, Kristine Ovsepian blends science and spirit to support deep healing and transformation. Through hypnotherapy, breathwork, past life regression, quantum healing, NLP, EFT, and manifestation coaching, she helps her clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom and divine power. Guided by love, intuition, and purpose, she holds space for her clients to awaken, release what no longer serves them, and step fully into their highest path.   Website: www.journeystoheal.com   Instagram:  @journeystoheal   Facebook   LinkedIn       Yelp    ** Don't even know where to begin in improving your interpersonal skills?

Creating The Life You Haven't Lived Yet In the last FMQ, I talked about the idea that there's a book inside you. In this episode, I take that idea further. Because here's what I truly believe… You're already writing your life. One page at a time. One day at a time. The question is — are you writing it consciously? In this episode I guide you through a creative visualisation process that helps you: Step out of "life just happening" Stop letting other people write your chapters Feel your future before it physically exists Align your unconscious mind with what you truly want Take one small, powerful step forward This isn't about pretending the past didn't happen. It's about deciding what happens next. And you don't have to be 100% ready. You just have to start. What We Do Together In This Episode I guide you into a relaxed, curious state. You sit at a desk. There's a book in front of you called: My Life, My Adventure. The past chapters are written. You acknowledge them. You thank them. And then… You begin writing the next chapter. Not perfectly. Not dramatically. Just intentionally. You float outside yourself. You see yourself writing. You feel support from the people who care about you. You see yourself through loving eyes. And then you ask one powerful question: What small step can I take now? Because the magic isn't in dreaming. It's in deciding. What I Want You To Take From This You are not stuck. You are not finished. You are not defined by previous chapters. Responsibility is not blame — it's power. Your future starts now. And remember… Even if you do nothing differently today — you're still writing a page. So why not write it on purpose? If This Resonates Subscribe. Share this with someone who needs it. https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/475-creating-the-life-you-havent-lived-yet And take one small step. Have more fun than you can stand.

On this episode of The ToosDay Crüe, Jake and Stephen welcome Matt Johnson, subconscious transformation expert, NLP practitioner, and hypnosis specialist. After being diagnosed with PTSD and struggling with anxiety, Matt tried traditional talk therapy and medication — but knew there had to be another way. That journey led him deep into the world of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnosis. After becoming quadruple-certified and studying the masters of subconscious transformation, Matt rebuilt his life from the inside out. In this powerful conversation, we explore: How the subconscious controls up to 95% of behavior Why emotional baggage lingers for decades The hidden “operating system” driving habits and beliefs How NLP and hypnosis can rewire limiting patterns Breaking free from anxiety, trauma, and feeling stuck If you've ever felt trapped by your thoughts, emotions, or past experiences, this episode dives deeper than surface-level self-help — into the programming that actually runs your life.

What if the real problem in your relationship isn't the fight… What if it’s the lack of recovery afterward? In today's episode from Dr. Matt, he shares something he and his wife deeply value — especially after celebrating their anniversary: Recovery is critical. Most people: • Apologize / Ask for forgiveness • Justify • Blame • Move on… But they never truly recover. And without recovery? The same pattern repeats. In this episode, he breaks down: • Why just saying “I'm sorry” isn't enough • The difference between blame and ownership • A powerful story about his son that changed how he handles conflict • How couples can clean things up so the past doesn't keep resurfacing • The mindset shift that prevents future fights Recovery isn't weakness. It's leadership. If you want stronger relationships — whether married, dating, or committed — this conversation matters. Listen to the full episode.

What if someone told you that you could skip years of therapy with a few mental tricks? It sounded impossible… until we found Neuro-Linguistic Programming. NLP is a form of hypnosis beloved by everyone from sex cults to the U.S. military to fortune 500 companies–yet almost no one knows it exists. Long before she co-founded NXIVM, hypnotist Nancy Salzman encountered NLP as a radical method for reprogramming the mind. Her story leads us to its inventor, Richard Bandler, a volatile, self-made guru. As we dig into how it took hold in so many places, we face an unsettling possibility: NLP might actually work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if you never had to chase a client again? What if instead of running after people, sending follow-ups, and trying to convince someone to buy, they came to you instead? What if you could sit back with a cup of tea while your clients knocked on your door, asking to work with you?It sounds almost too good to be true. But it works.This one psychological trigger helped bring in more than 9,000 paying clients. It even closed 75% of sales without asking for the sale.

In this powerful episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing shares his secret NLP protocol to dismantle the negative beliefs that make you behave badly around women. Your beliefs create your behavior and reality—if you're not pulling girls or getting results, fear-based beliefs like "I'm not enough," "She'll reject me," or "I'm better off alone" are sabotaging you by shaping your actions and attracting more proof they're true. Mark explains the two core emotions (love vs. fear), why these limiting beliefs stick (they self-reinforce, feel protective, and follow easy neural pathways), how they install in childhood, and simple tools to question these negative beliefs and drop them completely.  Key Takeaways: - Beliefs dictate your behavior and results - How negative beliefs kill confidence and make you unattractive to women - Why beliefs persist: survival instinct, unconscious "protection," familiar brain pathways - They form early from parents, media, and suggestibility, often not even yours - Don't believe everything you think; choose empowering beliefs to change your reality Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode intro [00:00:37] – Beliefs create behavior and reality [00:01:42] – Love vs. fear: the two core emotions [00:04:20] – Why negative beliefs stick around (survival) [00:08:05] – Neural programming [00:09:14] – The first 7 years of life [00:14:29] – Tools to identify and drop limiting beliefs [00:17:42] – Client success story [00:21:18] – Final profound insight: challenges for soul growth [00:24:59] – Hip recovery update and wrap-up [00:27:11] – Episode outro Connect With Mark: Apply for Mark's 3-Month Coaching Program: https://coachmarksing.com/coaching/ Check Out The Perks Program: https://coachmarksing.com/perks/ Email: CoachMarkSing@Gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachmarksing/ Grab Mark's Free Program: The Approach Formula - https://www.CoachMarkSing.com/The-Approach-Formula About The Unapologetic Man Podcast The Unapologetic Man Podcast is your resource for mastering dating, attraction, and relationships from a confident, masculine perspective.

Most course creators believe scaling takes years. They think you have to move slowly, earn every step, and accept that real growth comes after a long grind.That belief is what keeps them stuck.Scaling is not about time. It is about speed. Specifically, how quickly you can turn a brand-new lead into a paying customer. The faster that happens, the faster everything grows.If you are ready to stop crawling and start scaling with intention, keep reading because this will change how you approach growth forever.Useful Episode ResourcesFREE list of the top 10 books to improve your email marketingIf you want to write better emails, come up with better content, and move your readers to click and buy, here's how.
