I'll bet you didn't know that Christianity is like suntan lotion. Huh? Neither did I until I was speaking at a conference, and I took my oldest son with me. He was about 12 or 13 I think (my poor kids had to listen to their Dad speak so many times). Well, we were on our way home on the plane, and all of a sudden on this long trip from the West, my son said to me, "Hey, Dad, you know what? I finally listened to a lot of your talks this time." Let's see, was that's good news/bad news. I don't know what he was doing before. But he said, "You know what? I've figured out that Christianity is a lot like suntan lotion." I said what you would have said, "What?" He said, "You know, if you put a big, old blob of suntan lotion on your arm, it doesn't do you any good until you rub it in." I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Your Bible - Informed or Transformed?" Now, our word for today from the Word of God comes from Joshua 1:8 where we have God's formula for success. "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth: meditate on it day and night..." By the way, that word meditate is used in Hebrew to talk about a cow chewing its cud. So, chew it over and over again. Why? "...so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." Now, you get what God is saying to Joshua? I think it's His message to you and me today. The purpose of reading is not just to know something. It's to find something to do. When Jesus was talking to the 12 disciples about going out in the Great Commission to disciple people all around the world, He said, "Go and make disciples of all nations teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Don't just tell them what there is to know; teach them to do it. James 1 again says that the Bible is like a mirror. When you look in a mirror, you're supposed to change something because of what you see there. Right? The one reason there's such a gap between our beliefs and our behavior is because we won't in my son's words, "Rub it in." We have these great big blobs of spiritual truth all over us. We've been hearing it forever. We went to church a couple of times this week, we've got this guy that keeps coming at us on the radio, we've got Bible studies, we've got websites. The problem is that we tend to go for information rather than transformation; for application of what God says. To answer the question, "So what? What's this supposed to do in my life." It's one thing to read the Bible; it's another thing to let the Bible read you. God's interested in what difference His Word is making in you today, not just whether you can pass a Bible quiz. What did you read today? What are you doing differently today because of it? When God says meditate on it, what does that mean? Does that mean you stare into space blankly, kind of an Eastern mysticism thing? Not at all! You think about something you read in the Bible until you have made a connection between what you read and something you're going to face today. That's Christian meditation. It's not focusing on nothing; it's focusing on what God said and then you've meditated when you've connected that there's something you should do with it today. I think you ought to keep a spiritual journal and write down every day, "What did I read today in my own words? What did God say today and what am I going to do differently because God said it?" If you're in a position where you teach God's Word to people, even if you're just a parent doing that, make sure you always answer the unspoken question I think people are asking, "So what? Okay, it's true. So, what do you want me to do with it?" By all means answer that question for yourself. Look, have you gotten a little lazy as you read God's Word, just sort of accumulating more Bible information? That leads to boredom, it leads to powerlessness, and the illusion of spiritual life. Those Bible blobs? They're not going to do you much good until you rub them in.

Sam Godwin is a second-generation farmer operating a 300-acre organic orchard in north central Washington, primarily growing apples, pears, and cherries. His farm, which is small by industry standards, faces economic pressures in a market dominated by larger operations, and so has adopted organic practices since the early 2000s to differentiate and add value. Sam is in his second year of integrating practices to enhance soil health and reduce input costs, guided by consultants from Advancing Eco Agriculture. By using sap analysis and tools like compost, clover, and fish products, he has seen significant improvements, particularly in cherry yields, achieving over 10 tons per acre with high-quality fruit.  In this episode, John and Sam discuss: The challenges of operating a small family farm in a consolidating industry The transition from organic to regenerative agriculture practices Improvements in cherry yield and quality using sap analysis The importance of soil health and cover crops like clover in orchards The role of proprietary genetics in gaining a competitive market advantage The significance of succession planning for the next generation of farmers Additional Resources To read additional case studies on AEA's success in cherries, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/case-studies/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Elizabeth Katzman delve into the complexities of hormonal health, particularly focusing on the effects of birth control and the concept of the 'pill hangover.' They discuss the symptoms women experience after discontinuing birth control, the impact of hormonal contraceptives on overall health, and the importance of understanding the long-term effects of these medications. Katzman emphasizes the need for informed consent and the significance of addressing nutrient depletion and nervous system health in women transitioning off hormonal birth control. The discussion also covers alternative contraceptive options and the importance of education in empowering women to make informed choices about their health. Takeaways The term 'pill hangover' describes lingering symptoms after stopping birth control. Many women experience symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and hormonal chaos post-pill. Birth control can suppress ovulation and disrupt hormonal balance. Understanding the difference between progestins and bioidentical progesterone is crucial. Nutrient depletion from birth control can lead to various health issues. The nervous system's health is impacted by hormonal changes and nutrient deficiencies. Women should be educated about their menstrual cycles and hormonal health. Informed consent is essential when considering hormonal treatments. Alternative contraceptive methods exist that do not disrupt natural hormone production. Long-term health considerations should guide contraceptive choices.   Chapters 00:00 Understanding the Pill Hangover 02:50 Defining Post-Pill Symptoms 04:32 The Impact of Hormonal Birth Control 07:50 Comparing Birth Control Methods 10:05 Progestins vs. Progesterone 12:19 The Risks of Synthetic Hormones 14:00 Informed Consent in Birth Control 17:50 Natural Alternatives to Hormonal Treatments 19:20 Addressing Mineral Depletion and Recovery 19:35 Gut Health and Mental Well-being 22:50 Nutrient Depletion and Hormonal Balance 26:59 Understanding Menstrual Cycles and Hormonal Health 29:48 Innovations in Women's Health: Bioregulators and Peptides 33:58 The Role of Lifestyle in Hormonal Health 37:54 Practitioner Insights and Patient Care   Resources Elizabeth's IG Elizabeth's Website  Ali's Resources:  Calm the Chaos: Practical Tips and Tools for Stopping Anxiety in It's Tracks Course!

This episode is a rebroadcast. Dusty has handpicked episodes from the archive to air while she and Ash are on their annual summer break. New episodes resume in September! Cam takes Ash and listeners on a field trip to the land of ADHD causation, introducing listeners to Cam's own Meaning Maker (MM). Veteran listeners will recall the challenge for ADHDers to get to causation from the Mt. Rainier Model introduced in episode 10. They will also recall Cam speaking about his Big Idea Generator (BIG). The Meaning Maker is first cousin to the BIG and is a part of everyone's belief system - the neural system that makes sense of the world and that rationalizes choices and actions. Confirmation bias is a result of selectively picking data to reinforce a position. ADHD can super-charge the MM by plugging into our contextual processor. Informed by urgency and ARC activity, we can infuse our belief systems with “what if!” scenarios that generate doubt and worry. This gives the MM a spotlight on the stage - and an undeniable big signal. Cam shares his own experience as a teacher more than 20 years ago when his Meaning Maker was very active, reinforcing a story that entrenched him in a perspective of one down. Ash explores this experience with Cam, extracting valuable understanding and perspective. When Cam understood the presence of the MM and what gave it its power, he was able to short circuit the system. The hosts leave listeners with steps to discover and observe their own Meaning Makers.

Be Informed on Christ's Return With Donnie Denton

In this episode, I sit down with Stacy Ruse, LPC, a visionary therapist and consultant who beautifully integrates EMDR with Internal Family Systems (IFS), weaving in somatic and spiritual practices. Stacy describes how the structured brilliance of EMDR provides a foundation for trauma healing, while the soulful depth of IFS brings creativity, compassion, and transformative energy into the process. Together, these approaches create a powerful synergy to honor both the nervous system and the client's inner world of parts. Stacy shares how EMDR's Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model was a game-changer in understanding trauma for her. When we add this with IFS we can invite an ongoing relationship with our authentic Self, and with the parts of our psyche. Self-energy is like a tuning fork, and our job as therapists can be to help clients resonate with their Self, and be the guides for their healing. Bilateral stimulation (BLS) can be used to connect with protectors, honoring their positive intentions and empowering clients by continually checking in with what feels right for their system. As Stacy reminds us, in both EMDR and IFS we set an intention, but then step out of the way, allowing the client's system to lead. Beyond her clinical work, Stacy offers training, workshops, and consultation for therapists around the world. She teaches IFS, EMDR, somatic approaches, and polyvagal-informed practices through live courses, retreats, and even cruise-based learning experiences. She provides both individual and group consultation, helping clinicians integrate EMDR, IFS, and somatic wisdom into their practice. Stacy also shares free resources, meditations, and videos through her website and social media, and she is currently developing two books slated for release in 2026. Stacy's passion is contagious—reminding us that EMDR and IFS are more than just models; they are pathways to deep compassion and creativity.

This month, as the nation marks 90 years since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law, 1.9 million Georgians will receive a Social Security payment. However, some say the future of Social Security is uncertain. “Closer Look” host Rose Scott talks with Alice Bennett, the advocacy manager for AARP Georgia. Bennett addressed myths about the Social Security program, explained how the program is funded and talked about the importance of keeping the program protected. Plus, this week, several foundations are committing nearly $37 million to provide immediate relief to public media stations at the risk of closure. This all comes after Congress recently voted and approved President Donald Trump’s request to end federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). This move triggered the dismantling of CPB and cut $1.1 billion earmarked for public media. PBS and NPR and NPR affiliate stations across the country, including WABE, are trying to navigate how to continue their work despite the cuts. Rose talks with Michel Martin, a veteran and award-winning journalist and host of NPR's “Morning Edition.” Martin reflects on the values of NPR and its resilience, the importance of reporting on community-based and national news, as well as keeping audiences informed, connected and uplifted.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Troy Swift started farming at age 42, and has achieved incredible results using regenerative practices in his Texas pecan grove: increasing yields in certain varieties by up to 6X, while cutting nitrogen inputs by 97%, reducing insecticides, and eliminating herbicides.  Troy is a first-generation farmer from Central Texas who transitioned to pecan farming after a career in the composite jet engine industry. With a data-driven mindset from his manufacturing background, he now manages 126 acres of hybrid and native pecans along the San Marcos River and serves as president of the Texas Pecan Growers Association. Troy's 27 years of growing experience shape his innovative approach to regenerative agriculture. Since 2019, Troy has embraced regenerative practices: eliminating mowing and herbicides, and using wood chips and Johnson-Su bioreactors to boost soil health.

The RACI = The Team KillerThe RACI matrix, outlining who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed, seems like a logical approach for complex work. It seemingly makes clear who does what, and when.Unfortunately, beneath its veneer of order lies a subtle but significant impediment to the very essence of high-performing IT teams: genuine teamwork.I will describe that while the intent is to bring clarity, the RACI instead promotes, and often rewards, working as a collection of individuals. This approach erodes the collaborative approach necessary for knowledge work teams such as software development.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Welcome to the dog days of summer. We've got an action-packed episode to get you to through August, so fasten your enthusiasm harness, and get ready to listen, and enjoy.  Eddie Muller is an expert in film noir. If you like movies with private eyes, tough guys and saucy dames who kiss and lie, Eddie is your dude. Eddie is the host of TCM's Noir Alley, which is forever and always a celebration of all things noir. He has a new book out called Dark City Dames, which examines the lives and careers of a group of actresses from the heyday of film noir. As you may suspect, their true life stories are often more intense than the movies they made. Eddie is also the author of Dark City, San Francisco Noir, The Art Of Noir, the novels The Distance and Shadow Boxer. He is a fascinating guy. It was a great interview. I could have talked to him all day to be honest.  Also, one of my favorite people, Katharine Coldiron, is back. Katharine also has a new book entitled Out There In The Dark. It's part memoir, part film criticism. Maybe one could say it is memoir AS film criticism. Or film criticism as memoir? You decide. But I read it in one sitting. It's a great. Informative, honest, brave, it's a terrific piece of work. True Tales From Weirdsville takes a deep dive into the cult classic Gun Crazy. Informed in large part by the book Gun Crazy And The Origin Of American Outlaw Cinema by, you guessed it, Eddie Muller, Gun Crazy is not only a terrific cult film, but it's also an incredibly important one, kicking off as it did, an entire subgenre in American film, one that still thrives today. That is, the stories of sociopaths in love. Gun Crazy. If you can find two words that better describe this country, you let me know. 

Informed by over fifteen years covering the world's most advanced innovations, Lewington joins journalist Hannah MacInnes to explore the transformative potential of AI and health tech—from early cancer detection and personalised diagnostics to wearable devices that track everything from sleep to blood sugar. Drawing on her new book Hacking Humanity, Lewington shares her own journey of self-experimentation, separates scientific promise from Silicon Valley hype, and asks what it truly means to live a longer, healthier life. With clarity, compassion and infectious curiosity, she shows how we can all take part in shaping a future where medicine is not just reactive but predictive, and where technology helps us stay well, not just treat us when we're sick.

Jake Ewing farms 1,300 acres of corn in Western Illinois, a relatively small operation compared to neighboring farms. Jake's farm has been shaped by the need to compete in a region dominated by large-scale commodity crop production, forcing him to rethink traditional approaches to corn farming, and developing a focus on innovative, cost-effective practices.  Jake's journey toward regenerative agriculture began with the purchase of a high-clearance sprayer, initially intended for conventional applications. This led to experiments with foliar fertilizers and reductions in herbicides and fungicides. His focus on soil health and plant nutrition has boosted yields to 275-285 bushels per acre, surpassing county averages while lowering costs. In this episode, John and Jake discuss: Reducing nitrogen applications to 160 pounds per acre, with only 100 pounds soil-applied, using foliar urea for efficiency. Foliar applications of manganese, copper, and cobalt to improve plant health and delay senescence, increasing yields. How foliar sprays in the evening with larger droplets enhance nutrient absorption by keeping solutions liquid longer. Eliminating insecticides and cutting fungicide use to a half-rate single pass, aiming for total elimination. How adequate manganese, copper, and zinc levels in sap tests reduce disease pressure, minimizing fungicide needs. About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Welcome back to Purple Political Breakdown, where we cut through the red and blue noise to find the truth in the middle. This week, we're diving into one of the most contentious political strategies reshaping American democracy today. With gerrymandering battles erupting across multiple states, we ask the fundamental question: Is gerrymandering bad for America?What's Happening Right NowThe political landscape has exploded into a high-stakes redistricting war. More than 50 Texas House Democrats fled to Illinois on August 3rd to deny Republicans the quorum needed to redraw the state's 38 congressional districts, while Republican plans could give the GOP five more seats to protect their narrow House majority. This dramatic exodus - reminiscent of Democratic walkouts in 1979, 2003, and 2021 - has triggered arrest warrants and mobilized state law enforcement.But Texas is just the beginning. Democratic governors across the nation are now threatening retaliatory redistricting efforts. California's Gavin Newsom has announced plans for mid-decade redistricting that could be "triggered" by Texas's actions, while New York's Kathy Hochul signals similar intentions. The result? A potential national redistricting arms race that could fundamentally reshape congressional representation.The Stakes Have Never Been HigherDemocrats have called this mid-decade redistricting plan - demanded by President Donald Trump ahead of a potentially difficult midterm election - a political power grab that would unconstitutionally suppress the votes of people of color. Meanwhile, Republicans argue they're simply exercising their constitutional authority to draw district lines.With several Democratic governors positioning themselves as 2028 presidential contenders by taking strong stances on redistricting, and the potential for Democrats to block Trump's agenda if they win House control in 2026, every district line drawn carries national implications.Join Our Purple Political Breakdown PanelTrue to our show's mission of bridging the political divide, our diverse panel brings together voices from across the political spectrum: constitutional scholars, voting rights advocates, political strategists from both parties, and policy experts who prioritize solutions over soundbites. Together, we'll tackle the tough questions:Is gerrymandering an inherent flaw in our democratic system or a legitimate political tool?How do we balance partisan advantage with fair representation?What are the long-term consequences of escalating redistricting wars?Can there be a middle ground between political pragmatism and democratic ideals?How do these battles affect ordinary voters and communities?Why This Matters NowAs one Texas Democrat declared, "We will not allow disaster relief to be held hostage to a Trump gerrymander", this crisis extends beyond politics to fundamental questions of governance and representation. The outcome of these redistricting battles could determine the balance of power in Congress for the next decade.Don't miss this essential Purple Political Breakdown episode that cuts through partisan talking points to examine one of the most pressing challenges to American democracy. Whether you lean left, right, or find yourself somewhere in the middle, this discussion will challenge your assumptions and provide crucial insights into the future of American representation.Open Panelist Information:Dr. Ami: Here is my YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@amethystaherrickAnd if you want, here is my professional website:https://purplepawclan.com/Standard Resource Links & RecommendationsThe following organizations and platforms represent valuable resources for balanced political discourse and democratic participation: PODCAST NETWORKALIVE Podcast Network - Check out the ALIVE Network where you can catch a lot of great podcasts like my own, led by amazing Black voices.

Discernment is a prayerful process by which we come to understand God's will in our lives for a particular decision. This blogcast explores “Discernment: Day to Day and Lifelong" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written by Christian Bordak-Roseman and read by Meg Ferguson.The popularity of the word discernment seems to have skyrocketed in Catholic circles in recent years. Discernment has always been linked to discerning one's lifelong vocation to married, single, or religious life. Discernment has also been linked—especially recently—to more short-term decisions such as what to study in college, what job to accept, and even more mundane choices within one's daily life. Many times, young people—myself included for many years in the past—want to tackle the question of lifelong discernment head on, determining their vocation as quickly as possible. This, however, cuts off the central aspect of discernment which is a long-term personal relationship with God. Instead of looking at discernment from the top down, one must examine their daily life, decisions, and prayer life to allow God to show them the path to their lifelong vocation. When I was in college, I was racked by pressure to determine my lifelong vocation to either married, single, or religious life. At the time, I understood that the heart of discernment was taking decisions to God in my prayer life, but all I could focus on was finding the result. In reality, the way to go about discernment is to maintain constant communication with God, to consistently acknowledge His Holy Presence in your life and bring your day-to-day life into your prayers. God presents Himself to us through innumerable ways on any given day, and a cornerstone of prayer is noticing Him there. If, however, you were like me in college worrying about the final result instead of an actionable next step, it is easy to miss God and lose out on quality discernment. It is only through regular prayer that God can reveal Himself clearly to us. Prayer has the power to make sense of the chaos that rules our lives in the twenty-first century. A meditation or Examen in the morning or evening can lead one to see God's personal actions daily and enable us to bring God into our lives more actively. Retreats—whether a day-long, weekend long, or self-paced at-home retreats—can allow us to break down longer stints of our lives, see God's presence, and reorient us for larger decisions that might be facing us. Once I realized that my larger vocation questions were not going to be answered unless I discerned daily, it allowed me to become more attuned with God and deepen my prayer life. I began to see how God was strengthening me as a boyfriend, fiancé, and now husband to support and be supported by my now wife. Additionally, by focusing my prayer on the daily actions of my studying and student-teaching internships and being the best teacher I could be, I was able to see how God works in and through me in my career. This realization enabled me to be confident in a career decision that was not something I would have considered when I was beginning my undergraduate experience. As many have said before, God rarely comes to us in beatific visions with clear instructions on how to live our lives for Him. Instead, Jesus comes to us through people and events around us, hoping to guide us along the way of life. Discernment is looking for trail markers that Jesus leaves for us; we are looking to understand the roadmap He laid out for us. Author:Christian Bordak-Roseman serves as a Religion Teacher at St. John's College High School in Washington DC.

According to research from Gartner, 77% of sellers report that they struggle to complete their assigned tasks efficiently. So, how can enablement help cut through the noise and maximize rep efficiency to drive business results? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Kim Engebretson, manager of sales enablement at Protegrity. Thank you so much for joining us, Kim. We’re super excited to have you here. As we get started, I’d love if you could just run us through yourself, your background and your role. Great. Thanks Kim Engebretson: Riley. I’m happy to be here and excited as well. So, as you mentioned, I’m the manager of sales enablement at Protegrity. Which is a data-centric security company, which is part of the cybersecurity industry. I’ve actually been in sales ops and enablement for more than 25 years of my career over a host of different industries, most of which was in medical devices than telecommunication, and that ultimately brought me here to Protegrity. But I would have to say that my earliest career back in aerospace and defense really contributed to my love of sales enablement because I learned about manufacturing processes, project management, and I always take that lens of a process when I bring it to looking at a sales process to say, can we refine it? Is it the most efficient? Are there things that we can do? So always using a continuous improvement mindset. So it’s really been fundamental in how I approach most of my sales enablement projects. RR: Amazing. Thank you for that background. I love the thorough experience that kind of leads you to where you are today, and it’s part of the reason that we’re super excited to have you today is you bring a really well-informed perspective to the table and looking at your background, it’s clear that you have extensive experience, not only as an enablement leader, but in all of the different skills that make a strong enablement leader. So as the enablement landscape has kind of continued to evolve over the years, I’m curious how you’ve seen. The challenges go to market teams face evolve, and then maybe what you’re seeing is the most pressing today. KE: Yes. Well, as I mentioned, with having a pretty long career thus far, I’ve come through a couple major milestones. The introduction of the internet, digital transformation. I mean, I was in sales enablement when people had to call in a paper order was processed. So as you can mention, this is a big evolution that we’ve moved to such automation, such efficiency, and so from a go to market perspective, sales hasn’t changed. From the standpoint that a seller must know their product and service, they must bring value to the table so that the customer really perceives them as adding value and being a consultant, being a partner, and making the right business decision. But what has changed dramatically, even in the last five years and is continuing to move at an amazing pace, is that buyers don’t really wanna engage with the seller until it’s much further along in the process. So the buying cycle is still a pretty long period of time, but the sales cycle when the customer and the seller engage is really much further down the pipeline than it normally was. So from a go-to market perspective, our sellers have to know that and know what assets, what webinars, what podcasts, what materials has the prospective customer engage with through their self discovery. And it really precedes ai. But this desire to say, let me educate myself in what’s available before I start talking to a prospective vendor. And from that standpoint. When we do have that first engagement, it’s got to be solid. It’s got to be really a opportunity where we distinguish ourselves from the other vendors that that prospect or customer might be thinking about talking to. RR: Yeah, I think that’s certainly a common challenge that a lot of businesses are seeing, and I think that need to be agile, to be effective, to be efficient in that moment where you’re allowed as a seller, to have that first touch with a buyer is so crucial. I know that kind of as a solution to that. Sales efficiency is kind of a key priority for you. So can you maybe talk us through why sales efficiency is a priority and then how you’re focusing on that and what initiatives you’re using to help you achieve it? KE: Sure. So understanding the prospect. So we have a really strong demand gen organization that is trying to provide leads or prospective leads to our sales team, but that still requires that our sellers really get to know again, who that company is. What industry are they working in? Who are the decision makers? There’s a considerable amount of research and data accumulation that has to take place so that, again, when that seller has that first opportunity, that phone call, that business meeting, that they come prepared. And I believe that customers also expect. That individual to come already knowing quite a bit about them, because again, we work under this kind of accelerated cycle. And so the efficiency part is how do we assemble all that information, how do we synthesize it? And then simultaneously using things like our business use cases, our understanding of the industry, how do we prepare our seller so that they’re not having to do that all on their own? We are providing them those materials and resources so that they can, again, bring their best, you know, representation for that first meeting. So there’s a lot of pressure on that first call, but I think the sales efficiency is building all around, making our sellers. Informed. Knowledgeable and impactful. RR: Yeah, definitely. I think thinking about that sales efficiency and all the support levers that you’re pulling to help sellers drive it, I’d like to maybe talk about enablement technology and how you’re using that to create efficiency. I know you actually switched off of a previous enablement platform and moved to Highspot just recently last year, so I’d love if you could talk us through maybe what motivated the change, how you reevaluated, and then what that process was like. KE: Absolutely. I joined Peg in June of last year and it just so happened the sales enablement platform we were using was coming up for an annual renewal. So there was a natural event that said, you know, I’m new in the role. I was given a new responsibility of sales enablement, so let me test. Whether or not we had the right product, right tool for what we needed. And so I went out and spoke to pretty much the top three or four companies giving our current vendor every opportunity to also come forward and demonstrate what they had that perhaps we weren’t utilizing in that system. So it was really about were there things that we weren’t using, not optimizing in the system. And it was through that process that really Highspot. Distinguish themselves, and I just emphasized that first meeting being so important and really our account executive came prepared, had done some research, was sharing with us ideas that we hadn’t had, even though I had researched all the vendors independently myself, and so they stood out. And that continued through the next engagement and the next engagement. And as the account executive brought in other resources from Highspot through the solutions team, everybody came prepared and demonstrated to me an interest. They were interested in what we needed and they wanted to showcase how they thought the Highspot solution could meet the business needs that we defined. And that really just. Changed the kind of trajectory. So it was up for our incumbent to really lose the business, and unfortunately they did because they didn’t really fight hard enough to sustain it. And again, across the vendors, a lot of common functionality. But it was the way. That the Highspot team was able to really demonstrate what did they think that their solution could do that would be different? And it was, uh, a couple things. Digital rooms. It was the close integration with Salesforce. Were, were really two of the key decision makers, the decisions for us. RR: Wonderful. Well, I first of all am so happy to hear that you had such a fantastic experience with our team, and I think that, you know, kind of speaks to the value of enablement in the work that you do of. How else are you getting sellers ready to deliver these experiences? And then also congratulations on one year. Super exciting. Just past that mark. So gotta call that out. I’d love to know maybe drilling a little bit further into that process of switching. So when you switch an enablement tech stack, what maybe are some of the best practices that you would share for managing that change and empowering reps through that transition? Because I know that’s probably not an easy process. KE: Agreed. That’s probably the biggest challenge with any technology transition is implementation and then change management. So from the implementation side, again, I think Highspot had a great enablement support where the project plan was clear. The kickoff was good. I did have a partner at the time who was working with me on the transition so that I was able to focus on the enablement side. The other person was able to focus on the content. Implementation. So I would say having a good project team internally was really important because you really wanna have people who can focus on the different elements of that transition. But the thing I also focused on was ensuring that our sales leaders really understood why we’re making the change. That they were also helping to articulate the business decision and the value. And then it all came down to just communication, really keeping the sales team well informed why we were making the change, what were some exciting things they could look forward to. And then once we made the change, supporting them through multiple hands-on sessions. So that they could get familiar with the system. And so I was doing, you know, weekly sessions, small group sessions, really to make sure people understood the new navigation, how to find the resources. And then, uh, the big one was introducing the digital rooms. So it was really just about. Change management 1 0 1, communicate, implement, and support. RR: Yeah. Amazing. I think changes in the tech stack are a pretty common scenario that you’ll encounter, but I feel like there’s not so much in the way of guidance or best practices out there for how to do it, so thank you so much for sharing that. I’d love to know, maybe just one more question on this topic, in your opinion. What is the advantage of an enablement platform? How does it help you with sales efficiency? And then maybe a little bit, if you can, share about how switching to Highspot helped you amplify that advantage. KE: Sure. So we were using multiple resources. Our tech stack is pretty, I should say, it’s either deep or wide, whichever way you want to define it, but the ability to compress and integrate. To demonstrate a seamless experience, whether you’re using Highspot through Outlook or through Salesforce or teams, but trying to minimize that feeling of a seller going to multiple systems to achieve something. And more importantly, we have our collateral, our marketing content. We have product information, we have sales process information. We have the ability to collect how to information. And so by putting that all into one system, that’s easy to navigate. Is also giving that seller that kind of efficiency, which is if they have confidence that they can come into one system, quickly, find the answer to the question, whether it’s, how do I, what’s the next step? Particularly for things which maybe they don’t do on a high frequency basis. So they need to come back to how to find that resource. Previously, you know, it was all via SharePoint, which it definitely has some value. But now being able to put everything kind of into one basket, meaning one system, we’re able to provide them, I think a more unified user experience. And then the efficiency of being able to say, I can do multiple things with this one tool that I previously had to go to, maybe three or four different resources, or even people to find the answer to a question. RR: Wonderful. Well, I’m so glad that you’re seeing the degree of success that you are already and that the switch has kind of been a fruitful one. Speaking of some of the work that you and the team have been doing with the platform, we’ve heard that sales plays have been a key lever in helping you improve sales efficiency. So I’d love if you could talk us through how you’re leveraging them to support your sales efficiency initiatives and then how maybe they’re helping you drive. More consistent execution across your sales teams? KE: Yeah, absolutely. So as I mentioned previous to me joining the organization a year ago, we didn’t really have a dedicated sales enablement function. Of course, sales enablement was being delivered by different individuals. And so one of the things that was, you know, my primary objective was improve the onboarding experience and then also help document the processes, or in this case, the sales place. So there really wasn’t a repository or a collection of that. I love the way, it’s what do I need to know, show, say, or do? And I’ve used that so many times, even in my own enablement sessions, because I think that routine, that practice starts to build that understanding of how we break down a sales play. And so first and foremost, brought the right people together through a series of workshops. So that we could create the sales plays. And so the way we started was we used both industry and business use case as the formula for defining the sales plays, and that enabled the team to kind of hyperfocus on for this specific industry and this specific peg use case or solution. How can I define the things that that seller would need to know? And so once we produce a couple of sales plays, that made it a lot easier us for us to template that moving forward. And in fact, that’s all been on the like pre-sales side on winning new business. And now we are moving into building sales plays around the post-sales process about customer onboarding and customer engagement and time to first value. So we’re using those same principles now. Through another portion of the buyer life cycle, so I’m excited to start documenting those processes as well. RR: Amazing. Well, I love to hear that the no say show do structure is so ubiquitous in enablement at Prote. It’s such a useful framework and it really does work. Maybe shifting gears a little bit, besides sales plays, we’ve also heard that you’ve had quite a bit of success, as you mentioned earlier, with things like digital rooms, and you’ve achieved an 83% external share. Adoption rate. So I’d love if you could share some best practices for helping reps regularly use external sharing features, and then maybe how you’re seeing that engage buyers. KE: Digital rooms are by far my favorite. Not only because you can get a little creative, and we’ve created a digital room template for different business use cases or for different customers at the different intervals of where they are in their buyer journey, whether it’s for prospecting or it’s for contract management or responding to a request for proposal. So we look at each one of those buyer seller engagements. As a unique opportunity to define a digital room, and they essentially sold themselves. So I think our sales teams immediately got how valuable these could be compared to, you know, the old school method of emailing customers serially, you know, having to search through your email to find out what was the last communication, looking for resources. And so everybody just really, I think, inherently understood the. Value of a digital room. And again, going back to saying how do we hyper-personalized, how do we customize something for a customer or a prospect, which will help distinguish peg from potentially other vendors that they’re talking to. And in fact, I was onboarding a new solutions engineer just a week or so ago, and when I introduced him to Highspot and the use of digital rooms. The fact that that individual repeated back to me, oh my gosh, I can see the value of this. I was like, alright, you got it. And so I think that it’s not a leap for people to know how valuable digital rooms can be. And the second part of your question is, you know, how did it when the adoption one is, I think there was genuine need in an interest. So those people ran toward it. But I hosted a couple enablement sessions and then. I highlighted the individuals who were doing unique things, they really made their personality stand out in the digital room. They added some stuff that sometimes was funny, you know, or engaging. So using successful sellers to showcase best practices to the rest of the team. I’ve always found that that tends to be more impactful than me sharing my recommendation or even a vendor sharing a recommendation. So when they see another respected seller is doing something and having success with it, then they’re more inclined to say, let me check that out. Let me adopt that practice as well. And so I hosted a enablement session called the Digital Masterclass. Where we took it to, you know, how can we use some higher end functions and features, and I’ll continue to do that as Highspot continues to release some new features and functionality with the digital rooms. RR: Well, I love to hear that, especially I feel like the best part of digital rooms is that they kind of marry, flash and function. So when you can show off a really cool one, everybody’s like, ah, why am I not doing this? And so it seems that’s very much how you’re getting that engine moving. So having heard a little bit about your strategy and the work that you’re doing to drive it, I’d like to know maybe since implementing Highspot, what business results you’ve achieved, any wins, achievements that you’re particularly proud of, programs that you’re running really successfully, that you’d like to share with us. KE: Yes. Well one is, I, I think just the, the adoption rate that you mentioned and the high rate of external shares is indicative of that. The team has adopted this as a, a distinguishing sales function, so that’s one thing. I did take a look at it, and although I can’t give you very specific numbers, I looked at our pipeline from a year ago, you know, year over year, and what I was able to see was double digit growth in both new opportunities created. And new opportunities, not only with existing customers, but what we call net new logos. And so, although there’s other contributing factors, I definitely think that the use of the digital rooms has helped advance the opportunity from say, qualification into then our next opportunity stage. And that’s reflective of the fact that that’s when we say, this is when you now create the digital room. To move a customer from, you know, once we’ve identified there’s a business value that we can deliver to them, is now let’s start to move them into a digital room, start to share more assets and information, which again, can help them inform themselves and be a great place where we can keep a record of recorded meetings, action items, next steps. And it just helps facilitate, you know, the sales process motion and sales tactics. RR: Well, I think. To start. That sounds like you’re making amazing progress and I am sure that’s just reflective of the great work that you’re doing. I really appreciate you walking through kind of that enablement action to then this is how we’re seeing that impact on the outcomes that the business really cares about. And it seems like to your point, the data is reflecting the value of your work. So speaking of kind of seeing that data and being able to. Validate the work that you’re doing. I’ve heard that you’re currently working, as you mentioned on that integration between Salesforce and Highspot. So as you’re making progress on that, I, I’d love to know what value you’re seeing in the integration and then as you’re going, what outcomes you’re hoping to achieve down the line. KE: Yeah, absolutely. So right now we are actually in production. Our integration’s complete. We just haven’t rolled it fully out to the organization. As I continue to fine tune a few things. What I think I’m more excited about now is that it wasn’t how I thought we would be using it. Let me clarify that by saying, you know, floating content, floating recommended sales plays over to the opportunity or from Highspot to Salesforce is. You know, one of the things we expected, but it was a sales operations leader who said, well, can we give them the process guidance as well? And I said, well, sure we can. So this was something that we’ve implemented and we’re now testing out, but this is where I’m also floating over the how to guide, on how to perform the next step. What are the things that you need to do from a Salesforce. Process standpoint as one of the recommended assets. And although we had those materials and we’ve had a lot of how to guides produced in the past, it was always the challenge of somebody going to find the guide at the time that they needed it. And by using the Highspot integration. It is surfaced right there on the opportunity. So it’s literally, you know, look at the opportunity, click on the resource guide, and now we can give them the guidance that they’ve been looking for, or that they maybe stopped doing something and called somebody to get the guidance. So again, I think that highlights the efficiency because we have sellers all around the globe, and we want them to be able to work and not be delayed in what they’re doing because they’re waiting for somebody to answer a question. If they can get the information right when they need it, and again, at the point of use, which in this case would be within Salesforce, within the opportunity. So looking forward to releasing that really in the next, uh, week or so, and I’m sure the team is gonna see the value there as well. RR: Well, I know I, for one, can’t wait to hear about how that goes with the team in the next week. Best of luck to you. But if you’re already finding surprise use cases and additional values popping out at you, I’m sure as sellers are getting in there and using it, you’re gonna find new things pop up that they’re using that you aren’t even expecting. Well, one last question for you before we let you go. For organizations aiming to improve their operational efficiency through an enablement platform. What is maybe one or two pieces of advice you would offer when selecting that tool to partner with? KE: It’s a good question. You know, one, I’m gonna point back to what I said in the beginning, which is really trust, maybe your instinct, which is, if the very initial engagement with a prospective supplier is good, that tends to be somewhat indicative that that business relationship will continue on. If you find that you’re not getting the information. Or you’re struggling to see the value in the tool. It’s not being conveyed to you in a way. That may also be an early indication that, that that could paint how this engagement with that prospective supplier is gonna be so lean into, you know, how does the company represent themselves? Because if they’re successful using an enablement system, it’s gonna be reflected in their own account. Executives do talk to a couple other, uh, referrals. I think it is also helpful. I don’t think a company’s gonna give you a referral that’s not gonna give you a good assessment. But speaking to other companies that are using the product. Particularly if they’re in the same industry, I think is beneficial. And then of course, I would ask to really understand what the implementation plan is. So, and do that early enough when you’re doing the vendor review. Not just what is the product solution, but what is their implementation strategy and plan. How long will it take? And then what is their transition after you have your instance up and running? What are the resources that they provide? And that has also been something that has been really valuable to me, is having the continuing relationship when we transitioned out of our implementation. And then over to the customer support team, CSM. Um, it’s been a good relationship and that’s how we’re continuing to look at how do we leverage the system? How do we continue to optimize Highspot to get the most value out of it? RR: Amazing. Well, I think that’s fantastic advice, and I just have to say thank you again, Kim, for joining us. It’s been so lovely to chat with you and I think we’ve got some great best practices to share with our audience. Really appreciate it. KE: Thanks Riley. I enjoyed being here. RR: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize implement success with Highspot.
