With host retail coach Wendy Batten https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/ In This Episode: Let's make this summer your most joyful and productive yet, without the burnout. In this episode, I'm sharing how to embrace a "Summer of Ease" while still keeping your retail business humming along behind the scenes. Whether you're a brick-and-mortar owner in peak tourist season or experiencing a slower Q3, this one's for you. We're trading hustle for harmony by leaning into three core pillars: (1) Fun (yes, you need it!), (2) Rest (not a reward, but part of your job), and (3) Momentum (because Q4 is coming and we need to be ready!) How to Create Ease This Summer: Schedule your calendar and your team's through September Pre-plan promotions, social content, and email marketing Reuse great content from last year (no one remembers your July 2023 meme, it's fine) Humanize your brand with softer summer content (think beach reads and mojito recipes) Hand off live sales, store tours, or event planning to your team or guest hosts Let go of the guilt and get off your phone and POS app while you're away It's time to drop the “shoulds,” my friend. Let's get to work. Until next week, cheers to joy, freedom, and profits. “Watching your POS like a hawk is not making things sell faster.” -Wendy Batten Your Next Steps Get out your calendar and do some planning!

In a saturated market where visibility alone isn't enough, trust is your most valuable currency. In this episode of The Fierce Factor Podcast, I'm breaking down what it really takes to go from overlooked to undeniable—not through flashy marketing, but through intentional brand leadership. We'll explore five foundational steps to build brand authority that doesn't just capture attention, but earns lasting respect. If you want to become the lighthouse in your market (instead of shouting through a loudspeaker), this one's for you. Inside this episode: Reconnect with what sets your brand apart at its core Humanize your message through signature storytelling Deliver a consistent, resonant message your audience trusts Address mindset blocks that keep you playing small Build a visibility strategy that empowers your team and amplifies your leadership I'll also share a real-life case study from my device sales days—where a five-star practice was unknowingly attracting discount-driven buyers by communicating the wrong story online. The lesson? If your digital footprint doesn't match the excellence inside your business, you're not just missing sales—you're eroding trust. This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to evolve your brand into the go-to expert in your space—without selling out your values to do it.

Worried about the impact your teen's friends are having on them? You're not alone—and it's not as simple as “good” or “bad” peer pressure. In this episode of Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam, I sit down with peer influence expert Dr. Brett Laursen to unpack how friendships actually shape teen behavior (often for the better!) and how parents can stay influential without being controlling. Dr. Laursen, who has decades of research tracking teen friendships across multiple countries, shares surprising insights that can help you guide your teen through the tricky world of social dynamics, middle school transitions, and online influence. If you've ever wondered, "Am I losing my teen to their friends?" — this conversation is a must-listen.

Middle school changes everything: The shift from adult-centered to peer-centered social life demands a new parenting approach. Stay connected, don't compete: Your teen needs a supportive parent, not a rival for attention. Opportunities, not ultimatums: Help your teen find better friendships by fostering their interests, not forcing social changes.

Could The Bryan Kohberger 'Autism Argument' Humanize Him or Harden the Jury Against Him? Is autism spectrum disorder a factor in criminal behavior, or are we just looking for answers in the wrong places? The debate around mental health in high-profile criminal cases is as heated as ever, but when it comes to the alleged actions of Bryan Kohberger, the prosecution is doing everything it can to keep discussions of his mental state far, far away from the jury's ears. Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dive deep into the murky waters of mental health and the law, questioning whether autism is misunderstood in criminal investigations. Why is the prosecution so determined to remove any argument related to Kohberger's mental state? Would an insanity defense even hold up in court, or would it just be a distraction from the hard evidence—like DNA, cell phone pings, and a suspiciously well-timed blackout on the night in question? And then there's the bigger question: Is mental health something courts should consider more often, or are we just making excuses for behavior that should simply be judged on cold, hard facts?

What happens when humans and AI start sharing the same conversations? Dr. Juliana Schroeder, Associate Professor at UC Berkeley Haas, unpacks how generative AI is reshaping communication and collaboration. Whether it's using paralinguistic cues, knowing when to switch modes, or ensuring tech doesn't drown out emotional intelligence, Juliana makes one thing clear—real connection still comes down to being human. Key Highlights of Our Interview: The Mind Behind the Machine “AI isn't just changing technology; it's reshaping how we think, act, and perceive power. When virtual assistants act human-like, they give users a psychological boost that can even alter decision-making.” Confirmation Bias Central “When users consult ChatGPT, it often mirrors their ideas, reinforcing their thoughts. It's a colleague that nods a lot but rarely challenges, creating a unique kind of echo chamber.” Medium Matters “From text to video to voice, the platform you choose shapes how your message lands. Want to make a strong first impression? Skip the text and go for face-to-face—or at least a well-delivered elevator pitch.” Humanize the Experience “Paralinguistic cues—like tone of voice and facial expressions—are what make conversations truly human. To connect, think beyond words and embrace the richness of full-spectrum communication.” High Stakes, High Scrutiny “In critical domains like hiring, people demand transparency. The idea of an algorithm handling everything creates unease, sparking backlash when decisions feel like they emerge from a ‘black box.'” Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Juliana Schroeder, PHD ______________________ --Chief Change Officer-- Change Ambitiously.

In this Enrollify webinar, Balancing Bites and Bonds: How AI Can Humanize Higher Ed, Mallory Willsea and an expert panel dive deep into how artificial intelligence is transforming student engagement in higher education. Featuring Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO host Jamie Hunt, Generation AI co-host JC Bonilla, AI for U host Brian Piper, and The Hidden Gem host Maya Demishkevich, the discussion addresses the dual challenge of automating processes while maintaining meaningful, human connections. Through innovative examples, insights, and lively conversation, this episode provides a roadmap for leveraging AI to create more personalized and efficient student experiences.Key Takeaways:AI as a Personalization Multiplier: AI enables hyper-personalization, allowing institutions to deliver tailored experiences at scale while freeing staff for high-touch student interactions.Balancing Efficiency and Empathy: AI can handle repetitive tasks and provide instant answers, allowing human advisors to focus on meaningful, personalized connections.Student-Centric Approach: Despite concerns, students generally value efficient solutions over the origin of communication, provided their needs are met.Ethical AI Use: Transparency, data security, and empathy should be foundational to AI implementations in higher ed.AI's Potential for Scaling Impact: Tools like virtual assistants and predictive modeling have proven success in improving outcomes, such as higher grades and retention rates.1. How does AI enhance student engagement without dehumanizing it?Panelists agreed that AI's strength lies in its ability to manage repetitive tasks and provide hyper-personalized interactions. For instance, Dr. JC Bonilla emphasized that AI acts as a "personalization multiplier," allowing institutions to address individual student needs with a level of nuance and efficiency impossible through manual methods alone.AI-powered tools, such as predictive analytics, enable institutions to identify at-risk students early. Brian Piper shared a compelling example from Ivy Tech Community College, where AI monitoring alerted counselors to students in danger of failing, resulting in a 98% success rate for these students in achieving a C grade or higher. 2. What are examples of successful AI use in higher education?Several panelists highlighted successful AI applications:Georgia State University: Direct text messages powered by AI helped first-generation students improve their grades by an average of 11 percentage points.Virtual Campus Tours: Maya Demishkevich shared an example where AI-powered avatars significantly increased engagement during online campus tours, providing institutions with scalable alternatives to human guides.AI Virtual Assistants: Institutions like Forsyth Tech have saved thousands of staff hours by automating responses to routine queries, enabling human staff to focus on higher-value tasks.3. Do students care if AI is part of their experience?Surprisingly, the consensus was that students care more about getting their needs met efficiently than whether the solution involves AI. However, transparency remains critical. As Brian Piper pointed out, institutions should disclose when AI tools are being used to ensure trust isn't eroded. 4. What are the ethical considerations in using AI for student communications?Panelists underscored the importance of ethical AI use, advocating for transparency, data security, and empathy as foundational principles. Jamie Hunt stressed the need to ensure AI-generated content aligns with institutional values and human oversight remains part of the decision-making process. 5. How can institutions address faculty and staff fears about AI replacing jobs?To build trust, institutions should focus on training faculty and staff to use AI tools as enhancements to their roles, not replacements. As Maya Demishkevich noted, AI can save time by automating mundane tasks, allowing employees to focus on strategic, human-centric work. JC Bonilla added that embracing the role of “AI champions” within institutions can help bridge the gap between AI skeptics and early adopters. 6. What does the future of AI in higher ed look like?Panelists agreed that AI's future lies in hyper-personalization, advanced virtual assistants, and smaller, task-specific language models (LLMs). The emergence of AI "agents" tailored for distinct tasks will allow for even greater efficiency and impact.AI is transforming higher education by bridging the gap between efficiency and empathy. The insights shared in this episode reveal the exciting potential for AI to not only streamline processes but also amplify the human connections at the heart of higher education.

On this episode of Business Breakthroughs with Faith Mariah, I discuss: Don't wait for perfection: Start taking action even if you don't feel completely ready. Every small step adds up over time. Treat your business journey like learning to be a bodybuilder – you wouldn't wait until you have the perfect plan to start going to the gym. You don't need to be an expert to help: If you lack experience, position yourself as a student. Share your learning journey, document your progress, and credit your sources. This provides value to your audience and builds your expertise over time. Humanize your content: Share your struggles and setbacks alongside your successes. This makes you relatable and builds trust with your audience, especially in the age of AI. The best time to start is now: Don't fall into the trap of thinking there will be a better time in the future. You might face unforeseen obstacles down the road. Find community support: Building an online business can be a lonely journey.

What are the red flags of abuse? Let's ask Dawne Jacoby, a highly sought-after Keynote Speaker driven by a passion to inspire others. She is a Certified Life & Executive Coach, Leadership & Development Trainer and the Co-Founder of Grit2Grace – an organization that helps leaders “Humanize their Workplace” bringing empathy and compassion to the forefront.

In this latest episode of The HX Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jensen Harris, CEO and co-founder of Textio, an AI-driven platform that helps companies use language to enhance diversity and inclusion in their hiring processes. Jensen shared his fascinating journey from his early days at Microsoft to co-founding Textio, where he and his team have spent a decade developing AI tools to transform the way businesses communicate. He highlighted the importance of AI not as a replacement for human jobs but as an empowering tool that can help individuals and organizations thrive. We talked about some of the misconceptions and fears surrounding AI, especially in HR, where many companies still struggle to distinguish between ethical, effective AI and "snake oil" solutions. Jensen stressed the need for organizations to evaluate AI's track record before implementing it and shared insights on how AI can positively impact company culture, making employees feel more engaged and productive. His thoughtful approach to leadership, particularly in the context of evolving workplace culture, underscored how AI, when applied with purpose, can enhance the human experience at work.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/23/2024): 3:05pm- On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a rally at Crotona Park in the South Bronx. Despite being a Democrat stronghold, the Bronx campaign rally is expected to draw thousands of supporters. 3:15pm- CNN Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten revealed that recent polling shows Donald Trump currently has 22% support among black voters—he was at 9% in 2020. 3:40pm- While appearing on CNN with Dana Bash, Democrat political strategist James Carville conceded that Joe Biden's campaign should be concerned about polling which consistently indicates Donald Trump may win a larger percentage of the black and Hispanic vote than any Republican president since Richard Nixon. 4:05pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) wondered why no prosecutor has held Dr. Anthony Fauci—or any other health official during the coronavirus pandemic—legally responsible for hiding evidence and/or destroying evidence pertaining to the origins of the COVID-19 virus. 4:10pm- During Wednesday's House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) grilled former Senior Advisor for National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Dr. David Morens about his decision to use a private Gmail account in order to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. 4:30pm- Wesley J. Smith—Chair of Discovery Institute's Center on Human Exceptionalism & Host of the Humanize Podcast at Humanize.Today—to discuss his newest article for National Review, “How Collins and Fauci Shattered Our Trust in Public Health.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/05/how-collins-and-fauci-shattered-our-trust-in-public-health/ 4:50pm- Michael Keaton is back for Beetlejuice 2!

She added, “Trump would be smart to reach out to millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me and not assume that they're just going to be with him.” But Henry isn't fully convinced that it's a “real” endorsement…WHY!?!? 5:40pm- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) claimed that if Donald Trump were to win the 2024 presidential election, he would raise the price of gasoline to appease energy producers—allowing them to “price gouge.” 5:50pm- Sen.
