6x Your Ad ROI: The Power of Google Reviews for Cash Practices In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down how one simple factor—Google reviews—can transform your return on ad spend (ROAS) from 2x to 12x. Using a real example of two nearly identical clinics, he explains why social proof is the difference between average and elite marketing results, and how to build a system that keeps reviews (and new patients) flowing. Quick Ask Help us reach our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to the profession—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary Case Study: Two clinics, same ads, same demographics—one made 12x ROI, the other only 2x. The difference? 250 Google reviews vs. zero. Intent-based ads win: Google search leads are high-intent buyers looking for a real solution, not just scrolling. Social proof = trust: Buyers skip clinics with few or no reviews. Local reputation heavily influences clicks and conversions. AI search impact: Platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini still pull heavily from Google data—especially reviews—for local service rankings. ROI math: A 12x return means hiring faster, filling schedules, and scaling with confidence; 2x means ads are barely sustainable. How to 6x Your Return on Ad Spend Ask in person: Don't automate gratitude. When a patient shares a big win, that's your moment to ask for a review. Make it easy: Text them the direct Google review link right then. If they use Gmail, they're likely already logged in—instant review. Follow up: People get busy. Email or text them again a few days later with the same link and a quick thank-you note. Train your staff: Encourage your team to ask happy patients too—especially those they love working with. More ideal patients come from more aligned reviews. Automate wisely: Use email triggers to request reviews mid or post plan of care, but never rely on automation alone. Mindset & Systems Fundamentals matter: Gathering reviews may not feel flashy, but it's like dribbling with your non-dominant hand—it changes your game. Track outcomes: Compare ad performance monthly. Reallocate spend toward high-ROI locations with more social proof. Empower your team: Remind staff that reviews bring in more of the patients they enjoy treating—reducing burnout and improving morale. Notable Quotes “The difference between a 2x and a 12x ROI isn't your ad—it's your reviews.” “Social proof is your digital word of mouth. It's what people trust before they ever meet you.” “This is like dribbling with your non-dominant hand. It's not sexy—but it wins games.” Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Audit your listings: Count your Google reviews and compare them to competitors in your area. Create a script: Role-play how your staff asks patients for reviews at the right time. Use Gmail leverage: Focus on patients with Gmail accounts—they can review you in seconds. Celebrate wins: Share positive reviews in team meetings to reinforce the habit. Measure ROI: Track ad results before and after review pushes. The data will speak for itself. Action Items Text your Google review link to 5 happy patients today. Train your team to ask at every discharge or major breakthrough moment. Follow up once per week with anyone who hasn't yet left a review. Revisit your Google Business Profile—add photos, services, and recent updates to boost visibility.

It's Thursday, October 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistani pastor dies after 13-year jail sentence A pastor in Pakistan died on Sunday after languishing in prison for 13 years. Pastor Zafar Bhatti founded Jesus World Mission Church ministry. Back in 2012, he was falsely accused of insulting Islam. Authorities finally overturned his conviction this month, releasing him last Wednesday. The 62-year-old pastor died days after from cardiac arrest at his home. The British Asian Christian Association helped defend the pastor in court. The organization stated, “Though his earthly journey has ended, Zafar's faith, endurance, and ultimate vindication remain a powerful testament to hope in Christ amidst persecution.” Nigerian Anglican Church appalled that woman chosen to be new church head The Anglican Church of Nigeria declared spiritual independence from the Church of England on Tuesday. The announcement came in response to the Church of England's appointment of Sarah Mullally as the Archbishop of Canterbury. She is the first woman to hold the position. She also supports abortion and faux homosexual marriage. Archbishop Henry Ndukuba is the Primate of the Church of Nigeria. He stated, “[Mullally's] appointment marks a tragic departure from biblical orthodoxy. . . . We remain Anglicans — but not under Canterbury. Our loyalty is to Christ and the truth of His Word, not to institutions that have abandoned it.” Police arrest man intent on blowing up church with Supreme Court Justices In the United States, police arrested a man on Sunday who had hundreds of explosive devises outside of St. Matthews Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Police made the arrest before an annual service traditionally attended by U.S. Supreme Court justices. According to court records, the man's notebook expressed animosity toward Supreme Court justices, the Catholic Church, Jews, and immigration enforcement officials. FBI cuts ties with God-hating Southern Poverty Law Center The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced last week it has cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center. The far-left nonprofit is known for listing conservative and Christian organizations as “hate groups,” primarily because they affirm God's design for sexuality and marriage. FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X, “The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine. Their so-called ‘hate map' has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence. That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.” Florida, Louisiana, Missouri & Texas sue FDA over mail-order Abortion Kill Pill The state of Louisiana joined a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration on Monday. Florida, Missouri, and Texas are also on the case. They are challenging the FDA's 2023 policy that allows mail-order abortion drugs. Louisiana's filing states, “Every year, doctors and activists in states like California and New York mail a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved abortion drug called mifepristone to thousands of Louisiana residents for the express purpose of causing abortions in Louisiana that are blatantly unlawful.” Gold hit $4,000 per ounce first time ever On Tuesday, spot gold prices hit $4,000 per ounce for the first time in history. That's up 50% from January. Silver is up 60% this year. The demand for gold is up as investors hedge against economic uncertainty. Financial analyst Rhona O'Connell told Reuters, “Background factors are much the same as before, in terms of geopolitical uncertainty, with the added spice of the (U.S.) government shutdown.” Prison Fellowship and Bible League to send 620,000 Bibles to prisoners And finally, Prison Fellowship International and Bible League International are partnering to distribute over half a million Bibles. The 620,000 Bibles will go to prisoners in 20 countries over the next five years. Frank Lofaro with Prison Fellowship International said, “God's Word has the power to reach prisoners in their darkest moments with the light of Jesus Christ. Through this partnership, prisoners who come to know Jesus through our evidence-based, in-prison programs are equipped to grow in their faith through a Bible that they can understand and that speaks to their circumstances.” Luke 4:18 says, “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Intent to destroy all or part of a group is required to meet the criteria of genocide, and Israeli officials have made their intentions towards the people of Gaza explicitly clear, says Phyllis Bennis. In this discussion of her new book, Understanding Palestine & Israel, she explains how other recognized genocides have been defined, the influence of the Holocaust and its aftermath on Zionism and Jewish identity, and why the ceasefire movement indicates a change in the movement for Palestinian rights.Guests:Phyllis Bennis is a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC, where she also serves as co-director of the New Internationalism Project. She is a founding member of the US Campaign to End Israeli Occupation and served for six years on the national board of Jewish Voice for Peace.

Have you ever had someone say, “You're so strong” or, “They're in a better place now” and felt... worse? These well-meaning comments, though intended to comfort, often leave us feeling misunderstood and alone in our grief journey. Sometimes the people who love us most can hurt us without meaning to. This disconnect between what someone intends and how their actions affect us shows up everywhere in widowhood. And understanding this gap between intention and impact can transform how we navigate grief and relationships. Tune in this week as I explore the concept of intent versus impact and how it plays out in widowhood. You'll discover how to validate your experience without having to villainize anyone's intentions, and why this distinction matters for your healing.

In this episode, we peer through three lenses of biblical interpretation. Each lens represents a phillosophy of sorts for how to approach interpretation, now that we've made our observations (see prior episodes). Lens #1 is INTENT. Understanding the author's intended message is key to accurate interpretation. Lens #2 is INERRANCY. Understanding that the Bible is true is key to accurate interpretation. Lens #3 is INQUIRY. Asking 'why' is essential to the interpretive process.Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!
Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.com Attend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2025 Instagram: @the.momentum.company LinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode of The Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, host Mark Jewell sits down with AgTech entrepreneur and COO/co-founder of Intent, Kevin Heikes. Together, they explore what it really means to lead with intention, both in business and in life. Kevin shares the journey of building Intent into a company that pioneered a new category in agriculture—farmer-led field trials—and how intentionality has been the guiding principle from the start.This conversation dives deep into leadership, process, communication, and the discipline required to move beyond “interesting” ideas toward real solutions that create lasting impact.Key TakeawaysThe Power of Intention in LeadershipKevin emphasizes that life will either direct you, or you will direct it. He explains how being intentional means actively creating direction—through calendars, forward-planning, and aligning daily tasks with long-term impact.Building Intent: From Idea to InnovationIntent was founded to flip the AgTech model on its head—focusing first on solving real farmer problems instead of chasing “interesting” ideas. Kevin unpacks how this approach led to the creation of a new category in large-scale farmer trials.From Interesting to IndispensableKevin warns against the trap of “interesting.” Ideas or products that are merely interesting rarely get adopted. To succeed, solutions must solve real problems and deliver measurable results.The Role of Process and CommunicationRunning thousands of trials requires not just technology but relentless communication and process discipline. Kevin explains how Intent built systems to ensure trials are completed and results are meaningful for both farmers and companies.Independent Feedback MattersFarmers often hesitate to give manufacturers direct feedback, but they're more candid with third-party partners like Intent. This independence builds trust, provides true insights, and helps both sides collaborate for better outcomes.Leadership Lessons Kevin shares the three questions he uses to gauge career satisfaction:Am I learning and growing?Am I having fun?Am I leaving the organization better than I found it?Notable Quotes“You can either direct life, or life will direct you.” – Kevin Heikes“All the times in life I've become most resentful are when I was least intentional.” – Mark Jewell“I can't sell interesting. Interesting doesn't write a check.” – Kevin Heikes“Leave every place better than you found it—whether it's family, work, or community.” – Kevin Heikes“God has never created anything that doesn't multiply. As leaders, we're called to steward people the same way.” – Mark JewellAction Steps for ListenersReflect on where you are allowing life to “direct you” instead of being intentional about your choices.Audit your calendar: are your daily tasks aligned with your long-term goals and impact?For sales leaders: train your teams to go beyond pitching and practice deep listening.Ask yourself Kevin's three career questions regularly to evaluate alignment and growth.Seek feedback—honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversations are where the real breakthroughs happen.Listen If You Are:An agribusiness leader striving to be more intentional in your work and life.An entrepreneur...
Sabotage, Targeted Churches, and Arbitrary Executions Cloud the Fire's Intent Professor Benjamin L. Carp, Professor of History at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center | The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution Evidence suggesting the fire was deliberate includes eyewitness reports of sabotage of pumps and bucket handles, preventing effective firefighting. Furthermore, witnesses observed the burning of Trinity Church (Church of England) while dissenting churches were reportedly spared, suggesting anti-Crown targeting. General Robertson claimed he fought the fire aggressively, diverting it up Broadway to save the vital eastern commercial district. In the chaos, British soldiers conducted summary executions, bayoneting or throwing suspected incendiaries into burning buildings, including the loyalist carpenter Wright White.

We talk a lot about how whiskey is made, mixed, marketed and just generally talked about. But not how it's distributed. Fortunately Angela Bosco is here to pull back the curtain on the often murky, sometimes deliberately opaque distribution system for alcohol in this country. She sits down with the band to talk about the three-tier system, building a brand, what a brand needs to do to get acquired, as well as some straight whiskey talk. What are people doing to keep this storied category innovative. And did the industry really make progress towards equity with the MeToo movement? Or did it just look like it did? Angela weighs in on what it's like to be a woman in what can often be the boys club of rye and bourbonPLUS it's our first show of October and you know what that means.

EDITORS NOTE: There was an issue with the audio. We cleaned it up as best we could and felt that, even though it's not the best audio, the content and message given during their interviews warranted being released, even if with not so stellar audio. We thank you for understanding SUMMARY This part 1 conversation was recorded at the 2025 Uechi-Con, in Manchester NH and was with students that tested for their Master level ranks within their organization. They explore the profound impact of martial arts training on individuals' lives, emphasizing the sense of community, personal growth, and the importance of maintaining a lifelong commitment to learning. The participants share their experiences of how martial arts has provided them with a constant in their lives, helped them navigate challenges, and fostered a supportive environment for improvement and camaraderie. The discussion also touches on the themes of addiction, intent, and the generational transfer of knowledge within the martial arts community. Guests include: Michael Boudreau (Hachidan), Johnathan Shepard (Nanadan), Stephanie Rodenhiser (Rokudan), Jose Sanchez (Rokudan), Dottie Endress (Rokudan), Chad Dow (Rokudan) TAKEAWAYS Life is unpredictable, and martial arts provides a constant. The dojo atmosphere fosters community and personal growth. Training helps clear the mind and relieve stress. Martial arts can be seen as a healthy addiction. The skills learned in the dojo translate to everyday life. Intent in training impacts behavior outside the dojo. Prioritizing training is essential amidst life's challenges. Learning is a lifelong journey, both in and out of martial arts. Mistakes are part of the learning process. Generational knowledge transfer enriches the martial arts community.

3I/Atlas involves a conglomerate of extraterrestrials working with a White Hats/Earth Alliance to raise planetary frequencies and bringing about full disclosure, according to Lily Nova a popular ET contactee. Prominent among these cooperating groups are Lyran ETs who are disseminating frequency codes carrying the original divine DNA blueprint for humanity reaching its fullest potential.
