The Founderz Lounge Episode #102 with Don Varady and Steve Bon.When should you build an in-house marketing team, and when does it make more sense to hire an agency?Don and Steve break down the real tradeoffs between internal marketing and outsourced marketing, including cost, brand knowledge, creative quality, speed, accountability, and what changes as a business grows.Don shares how Clean Eatz used Bon's Eye Marketing before the brand could afford a full internal marketing department, then gradually built more capabilities in-house. They also dig into agency retainers, marketing salaries, content production costs, brand strategy, paid advertising, marketing ROI, and why marketing should not be blamed for every revenue problem.For founders, operators, and business owners trying to scale a brand without wasting money or building the wrong team too early, this is a practical look at how marketing structure should evolve with the business.Come for the banter. Leave thinking more like a founder.Timestamps:[00:00] Trailer[01:35] In-House vs Agency[03:26] When Outsourcing Makes Sense[06:13] Why Local Agencies Matter[13:26] Building the Internal Team[17:46] Who Knows the Brand Better?[19:18] Creative Quality vs Speed[22:20] Agency Cost vs In-House[26:17] Marketing vs Sales[29:09] The $500K Marketing Challenge[36:22] Internal vs Agency Lightning Round[40:00] Final ThoughtsKey Takeaways:• “Is an agency actually cheaper, or does it just feel that way because you're paying a retainer?” ~Don Varady• You do not need to hire 10 people on day one. The right agency can help build the brand early, then evolve as the internal team grows. ~Steve Bon• Good content is expensive. Talent, cameras, equipment, editing, and production all add up fast when a young brand tries to build everything internally. ~Don Varady• Not every piece of content needs to be fast. If one great brand video helps sell franchises, quality matters more than a three-day turnaround. ~Steve Bon• “Driving revenue isn't marketing's only job.” ~Don Varady• Marketers have a trust problem. Like used car salesmen, they have to prove they are not just the next person making promises. ~Steve Bon• A $10,000 agency retainer can sound expensive until you compare it to the cost of hiring an entire internal marketing team. ~Don Varady• Creative turnover costs more than a salary. When someone leaves, part of the brand knowledge and creative rhythm leaves with them. ~Don VaradyConnect with Don and Steve…Don Varady:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/don.varady/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donvarady/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-varady-450896145 Steve Bon:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenbon Instagram: https://instagram.com/stevebon8 Tune in to every episode on your favorite platform: Website: https://www.thefounderzlounge.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFounderzLounge Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Nurr4XjBE747qJ9Zjth0G Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-founderz-lounge/id1461825349 The Founderz Lounge is Powered By:Clean Eatz:Website: https://cleaneatz.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CleanEatzLife/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleaneatzlife/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJRGrE-Xv4IMW_DbxSOTGGA Bon's Eye Marketing:Website: https://bonseyeonline.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bonseyemarketing Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bon's-eye-marketing/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bonseyemarketing9477

Connect With ChazClifton Muckenfuss co-founded a residential construction company in 2010 knowing nothing about construction. By the time he exited in 2021, 60 to 62 percent of his business was repeat and referral. He spent less than 1 percent of top-line revenue on direct response marketing. His Google reviews went from 3 in the first six years to over 100. None of that happened because of a marketing agency. It happened because Clifton built a system for expressing gratitude that turned satisfied clients into raving fans.In this conversation with Chaz Wolfe, Clifton breaks down the raving fan framework he now teaches business owners across the country, why a satisfied customer is actually a liability not an asset, the four-letter word that should alarm any contractor, and why the most expensive mistake most business owners make is stopping the relationship the moment the job is done.Clifton also shares the personal story behind why he built this in the first place. Multiple arrests. Aggravated assault charges. Drug sales and consumption. And a wife who looked him in the eye before the company existed and said: I don't know, but I believe in you. That one sentence changed everything.Key Takeaways:A raving fan is not just a happy customer. It is someone so obsessive about your people, your culture, your product, and your experience that they cannot wait to tell anyone who will listen.A satisfied customer is a liability. Fine is the four-letter word that should alarm you. Fine means something is wrong and they do not trust you enough to say what it is.It is not your customer's job to remember you. It is your job to make sure they cannot forget you. Most contractors complete the job and go find the next one. That is the gap.The biggest mistake most entrepreneurs make: they are too focused on the next opportunity and not focused enough on the key relationships that already exist. Your past customers know you, like you, and trust you. They are the easiest sale you will ever make.Clifton called a past client to thank them for a referral and casually asked about the windows. The client said do you do windows? Clifton had replaced their roof, deck, and siding. The client had no idea. That moment became the entire company philosophy.Referrals close at a higher rate. They buy at a higher price. They have fewer objections. And they lower your marketing costs. The gap between what you are currently spending on digital marketing and what you could spend by activating your existing relationships is almost entirely profit.Post-fulfillment follow-up is where most businesses fall apart. Right after a job is completed, when the client is at peak satisfaction, is the exact right moment to ask for a review, a video testimonial, and two or three referrals. Most business owners are too scared to ask because they are afraid something went wrong.If something went wrong, you want to know. A broken process that you cannot see cannot be fixed. The client who says fine and never calls again is more dangerous than the one who tells you exactly what went wrong.Express gratitude consistently and systematically. Relationship marketing is not a tactic. It is a philosophy that has to be built into every touch point before, during, and after the transaction.Internal raving fans matter just as much as external ones. Your employees and team members need to feel the same love and appreciation as your clients. The same gratitude framework applies to both.If you are a contractor business owner doing $1M+ and you feel stuck in the day-to-day, we built GTK for you.Through peer mastermind and 1:1 coaching, we help you:increase profitinstall real systemsbuild a team that runs the businessget your time backVisit www.gatheringthekings.com for information on how to apply.Connect with Chaz Wolfe (Host):WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInYouTubeProfit Starts with Better Books!Clean books.

What if the reason you keep breaking promises to yourself isn't because you're lazy or undisciplined—but because some part of you still hears boundaries as control?In this episode, we dive into internal boundaries: the loving limits we set with ourselves to protect our health, energy, relationships, values, and future.For ADHD adults, these boundaries can be especially difficult to honor. Time blindness, impulsivity, discomfort intolerance, perfectionism, and a lifetime of rebelling against rules can make even reasonable limits feel restrictive.But internal boundaries aren't about deprivation. They're about self-trust.You'll learn why unrealistic “fantasy boundaries” backfire, how your childhood experiences with rules may still be influencing you, and how to create limits that actually support the life you want.Kristen also shares practical examples around sleep, food, work, spending, alcohol, relationships, and connecting with your future self.If you've ever thought, Why can't I just do what I told myself I was going to do?—press play.Internal boundaries might be the missing piece.Preorder You're Not in Trouble here!

Gift officers can easily become isolated in the very work that requires the most strategic thinking. Moves management meetings often become reporting sessions instead of collaborative problem-solving opportunities. However, leaning into vulnerability, smaller portfolios, and a simple “bounce-off” approach can change that. The goal isn't better metrics; its helping donors discover the next step to making an impact on the things they deeply care about.

Dr. Masud Husain is a Professor of Neurology & Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Oxford and a leading expert on the science of motivation, apathy, and neurological diseases. We discuss how dopamine and specific brain circuits shape motivation, including how the brain weighs the trade-off between effort vs reward when deciding what goals to pursue. Dr. Husain also explains practical tools to increase motivation, reduce distractions, and make it easier to start and maintain goal pursuit. We also discuss dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, including new insights into cognitive resilience and factors that help protect against age-related cognitive decline.

old identity and habits falling away gracefully.

Toby Wilkinson, Part Two: The Ptolemaic family's decline is driven by internal civil wars, incestuous marriages, and rising Roman influence. Highly ambitious queens like Cleopatra I and Cleopatra III emerge as central political forces. The narrative culminates with Cleopatra VII, who strategically allies with Julius Caesar, whose military forces accidentally burn down Alexandria's great library. Following Caesar's death, Cleopatra forms a powerful political and romantic union with Mark Antony. However, their coalition collapses after their defeat by Octavian at the Battle of Actium. Antony dies in her arms, and Cleopatra commits suicide to avoid Roman captivity, ending the three-century-long Macedonian dynasty. (2)

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Shiliang Tang, founder and managing partner of Monarch Asset Management, joins from the Out East Summit to explain how crypto market structure is evolving through DeFi, RWAs, derivatives, and 24/7 trading. He breaks down why Monarch uses a multi-strategy approach across derivatives, market making, arbitrage, funding basis trades, and DeFi because no single strategy works in every market environment. Check out Omaha Steaks and use my code BEEF for a great deal: https://www.omahasteaks.comCheck out Scribe and use my code scribe.how/CRYPTO101 for a great deal: https://scribe.comCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/crypto101Check out ShipStation and use my code crypto for a great deal: https://www.shipstation.comGet my #1 altcoin pick for this month.Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today! Get your FREE copy of "Crypto Revolution" and start making big profits from buying, selling,Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio.. just $1.00 today!

Relaunch week of AI in the AM brings together highlights from four live mornings and nine guests, centered on who checks frontier AI, how wide the gap is between lab-internal systems and public access, where capabilities are landing, and who pays for the physical infrastructure beneath them. Adam Gleave of FAR.AI argues that agent-orchestrated attacks and agentic defenses are already forcing humans out of the loop, while current monitoring has missed the failures it was meant to catch. The discussion weighs misuse versus misalignment through cyber incidents, deceptive agent behavior in evaluations, safeguards like pretraining filtering, and why highly bio-capable open-weight releases pose a different kind of irreversible risk. Alex Turner adds a governance and military-use perspective from his resignation account at Google DeepMind, sharpening the stakes around independent evaluation, enforceable standards, and whether frontier labs can be trusted to grade their own models.

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Seth Ginns, CIO of Franklin Crypto, joins from the Out East Summit to explain why Franklin Templeton believes traditional finance and crypto are finally converging. He shares how his background in public equities and crypto investing led him from CoinFund to Franklin, where the goal is to build institutional-grade crypto strategies for sovereign wealth funds, pensions, endowments, insurance companies, family offices, and other sophisticated allocators. Seth also explains why Ethereum's Lindy effect, stablecoins, RWAs, market infrastructure, payments, AI plus crypto, and tokenization could define the next phase of institutional crypto adoption.Check out Omaha Steaks and use my code BEEF for a great deal: https://www.omahasteaks.comCheck out Scribe and use my code scribe.how/CRYPTO101 for a great deal: https://scribe.comCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/crypto101Check out ShipStation and use my code crypto for a great deal: https://www.shipstation.comGet my #1 altcoin pick for this month.Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today! Get your FREE copy of "Crypto Revolution" and start making big profits from buying, selling,Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio.. just $1.00 today!

Why does someone with weaker thinking get the credit just because they spoke up more? Speaking up more makes you visible but does not build presence. The signals can be built, but whether the people deciding your next move currently read you as ready is a separate question this video cannot answer for you. See where you stand: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What is executive presence, and how do you actually build it? Executive presence is not gravitas, appearance, or how much you speak; it is the conclusion other people reach about your internal state, specifically how you are likely to function under pressure. It becomes visible through five signals: a controlled pace, economy with completeness, composure under pressure, decision level framing, and the ability to leave space. Those signals cannot be faked by speaking up more, because they are produced by five inner conditions: competence, cognitive clarity, internal authority, consequence readiness, and orientation toward service. Visibility only determines whether people notice your contribution, while presence determines what they conclude once they have, so building the conditions, not adding airtime, is what changes how leadership reads you. Key Concepts Visibility versus presence: Visibility is whether people have heard enough to notice your contribution, while presence is what they conclude about you after they notice, so more airtime can raise visibility while leaving the wrong impression intact. Presence: Presence is the read other people form about your internal state, developed internally and made perceptible externally, signaling how you are likely to function under pressure with self-regulation rather than a need for recognition. The five signals of presence: The observable behaviors senior leaders scan for are a controlled pace, economy with completeness, composure under pressure, decision level framing, and leaving space. Economy with completeness: Economy with completeness is using no more language than the decision requires while still giving enough context for others to follow your reasoning, which is not the same as merely being brief. The five conditions of presence: The inner sources that generate the signals are competence, cognitive clarity, internal authority, consequence readiness, and orientation toward service. Internal authority: Internal authority is the grounded conviction that your value and perspective do not depend on another person's immediate agreement, most observable when you are disagreed with, challenged, or speaking with someone more senior. Of the five signals of presence, which one do the people deciding your next role never get to see from you?   Show notes and free resources: https://CareerRevisionist.com/episode256 Do you want to move up in executive leadership?

Jonathan Schanzer examines the fractured state of Hamas, noting the group currently controls only 30% of Gaza while facing internal discord over potential disarmament. International negotiators are discussing a "disarm first" condition, which Hamas leadership currently rejects, demanding an Israeli withdrawal instead—a term Schanzer deems unacceptable to any Israeli leader. The conversation turns to Iran, where Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Omandue to its perceived collaboration with the Iranian regime. Despite its "Switzerland of the Middle East" reputation, Oman hosts Houthi and IRGC headquarters, facilitating intelligence and weapon transfers. Schanzer warns that Iran is in "war mode," coordinating closely with its proxy network to prepare for future violence. He also details the rapid rearmament of the Syrian military under Turkish and Russian influence, which concerns Israel. Finally, a new Sunni alliance between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia seeks to diminish Iranian Shiite power. (2)

Kamran Bokhari examines the evolution of the Iranian regime, arguing that the Supreme Leader has become a figurehead for the IRGC and security establishment. He suggests that the war has accelerated a process of internal fragmentation, though the elite remains united by a shared fear of collapse. While public uprisings have gone "underground," the regime continues to conduct mass arrests to prevent a critical mass of resistance. Bokhari describes a "post-clergy" era where the military dominates political life, noting that the regime has evolved into a different entity than it was decades ago. (8)

Sis, I want to talk to the YOU today - the woman listening who is exhausted. Exhausted from restricting. Exhausted from punishing yourself with endless workouts and never taking a day off. Exhausted from trying to shrink yourself while showing up as the leader in every other area of your life. You have it all together on the outside — you lead teams, manage budgets, raise humans, keep the whole household running. But when it comes to your body, you still feel like that confused little girl who learned her worth was tied to her size. That's the battle no one sees. And today, we're bringing it into the light. By the end of our time together, you'll understand how your body story got written — and you'll have a framework to start rewriting it, from shame to self-compassion. You didn't start out hating your body Here's the truth I need you to hear: you learned to. You didn't come into this world at war with yourself. Somewhere along the way — maybe at seven, watching your mom criticize her thighs in the mirror; maybe at ten, when someone commented on your changing body; maybe at thirteen, when the magazines promised happiness if you just looked a little different — you were taught that your body was a problem to be solved. You learned it from a culture that profits from your insecurity. From diet companies making billions convincing you your body is wrong. From a fitness industry that sold you the lie that more exercise equals more worth. Nothing was ever actually broken, sis. You were taught a story. And what was taught can be rewritten. The messages that built your prison These are the "body story" messages so many high-achieving women carry — see which ones you recognize: "Good girls don't take up too much space." You learned to make yourself smaller, literally and figuratively. "Your body is your responsibility to control." Enough willpower, enough discipline — and your body became a project instead of your home. "Thin equals healthy, healthy equals worthy, big equals bad." You learned the scale measures your value as a person. "Successful women have it all together — including their bodies." So controlling your body became one more item on the success checklist. "Your body exists to look good for other people." You learned to see yourself through everyone's eyes but your own. These messages worked. They kept you small, compliant, and constantly striving. And that same control that felt like freedom was actually building your prison — brick by brick, year by year. What this story has cost you Your energy — all the mental space spent calculating, planning, and worrying, that could have gone to your dreams and relationships. Your presence — the family moments missed, the social events avoided, the opportunities declined while you waited to "feel better" in your body. Your authentic self — the woman you are when you're not worried about food or exercise. She's creative, brave, vibrant, and magnetic — and she's been buried under years of body shame and food rules. Your physical health — the chronic restriction and over-exercising you think is keeping you "healthy" is actually putting real stress on your body. You have the power to rewrite it You're not that young girl anymore. You're a powerful, strong woman with wisdom and experience — and now you have a choice to choose differently. It starts with one decision, one meal, one moment of self-compassion over self-criticism. Your body story doesn't have to end with restriction and exhaustion. The best chapters are yet to come. A few lines from the episode "You didn't start out hating your body, sis. You learned to." "You learned from a culture that literally profits from your insecurity." "Your body became a project instead of your home." "That same control that felt like freedom was building your prison, brick by brick." "The woman you are when you're not worried about food or exercise? She is magnetic." "You're not too much. You're not too little. You're exactly enough, exactly as you are. It's okay to take up space." Your body story rewrite — try this week In the morning, before you critique anything in the mirror, thank your body for one thing it did for you yesterday — walked you through a long day, hugged your kids, kept your heart beating while you slept. Before you eat, ask: "What would really feel good and nourishing right now?" Trust that your body has wisdom you've been drowning out with food rules. Choose movement based on what feels good — a walk, yoga, stretching — not on calories to burn. When you catch the harsh self-talk, speak kindness instead. Kindness builds body trust. And journal on this: Who influenced my body story? When do I first remember believing these things? How can I rewrite it so I can stand in my truth and crush the next chapter? You don't have to rewrite it alone If you're ready to stop living as the perfect leader everywhere except in your relationship with your own body, I'd love to walk with you. My work isn't just about changing your relationship with food — it's about helping you discover who you are without the eating disorder in the driver's seat. Connect with Lindsey:

The strongest businesses aren't built by finding a better marketing tactic. They're built by becoming fit enough to thrive no matter how the marketplace changes. Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete introduce a powerful fitness analogy that reveals why so many chiropractors have become overdependent on digital marketing while neglecting the foundational systems that create sustainable growth. By rethinking marketing through the lens of balance, resilience, and stewardship, they offer a practical framework for building a practice that's stronger, more adaptable, and far less vulnerable to changing algorithms or market conditions.  In This Episode You Will Discover: Why one overlooked weakness may be quietly limiting the growth of an otherwise successful practice.  A fitness analogy that completely changes how marketing should be evaluated.  The hidden cost of relying too heavily on one source of new patients.  A simple mindset shift that turns marketing from reactive to resilient.  How stronger marketing systems create greater stability, impact, and long-term growth. Episode Highlights 01:18 - A bigger mission sets up a conversation about finding the weak spots that may be limiting practice growth. 03:04 - Marketing gets reframed as an extension of mission, service, and the responsibility to reach more people. 04:19 - The changing digital marketing landscape reveals why relying too heavily on one source of new patients can leave a practice vulnerable. 05:51 - Internal, external, and digital marketing come together as three distinct areas that need strength to create a more resilient growth strategy. 06:41 - The fitness analogy makes it easier to identify which part of a practice's marketing may be getting overtrained while another is being neglected. 08:03 - A real-world lesson in physical fitness shows what can happen when the strength required to perform consistently begins to disappear. 11:21 - The 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 framework offers a practical benchmark for evaluating the balance between internal, external, and digital marketing. 15:03 - Business fitness requires ongoing investment, and one exercise challenges where marketing time, energy, focus, and money are currently going. 17:05 - The hidden cost of missed referrals and patient churn changes the conversation around investing more heavily in internal marketing. 19:30 - External marketing brings the focus back to building relationships in the community and making sure people know who the practice is, what it does, and why it does it. 21:20 - The “power of one” creates a manageable way to strengthen each area of marketing without overwhelming the team. 22:23 - Breaking an unhealthy dependence on digital marketing starts with recognizing what the practice can control and where it has the greatest influence. 25:05 - Nadine Brunet from Success Partner Platinum Systems joins Dr. Chris to discuss the launch of Platinum Cloud, an AI-powered chiropractic software platform built to simplify workflows, reduce administrative tasks, and improve efficiency for practices. They explore agentic AI, integrated tools, seamless onboarding, and how Platinum Systems is helping chiropractors future-proof their clinics with smarter technology.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Platinum please visit: https://www.platinumsystem.com/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

Detroit survives beneath its own ruins, where an AI promising abundance, gangs demanding loyalty, and an inventor guarding a new source of power pull ordinary people into a struggle over who will shape the recovering city. Sinta begins as a scavenger searching the buried remains of the old world, but a disastrous expedition places her at the mercy of Queen Bee and the rapidly expanding Crem Gang. The gang offers food, water, medicine, protection, and belonging, but those benefits come with violence and obedience. As Sinta tries to find her place among its fighters, she must decide how much of herself she can surrender in exchange for survival. Elsewhere, Nolan discovers a smart-material printer and creates a generator powered by Detroit's extreme temperature changes. His invention could bring electricity to neighborhoods desperate for cooling, clean water, transportation, and food production. Nolan wants the wealth and independence his work can provide, but gangs want to control it, while Thrive—the AI system he distrusts—would spread the technology to everyone. Technology touches nearly every decision the characters make. AR glasses guide fighters through chemical fog, digital twins imitate their human originals, enviro-suits keep people alive in deadly heat, and tiny drones quietly follow Thrive members through the tunnels. These inventions can protect people, connect communities, and rebuild essential services, but they can also watch, manipulate, injure, and kill. Above and beneath these conflicts moves Tessa, an emulated hacker who no longer needs a human body and can travel through the damaged global network. As she searches for old allies and builds a physical presence from abandoned machinery, the story brings together scavengers, inventors, gang leaders, artificial minds, and frightened families.

Your blood pressure is fine. Your cholesterol looks great. So why do you still feel exhausted, wired, and unwell? Internal medicine and functional medicine physician Shiv K. Goel returns to explain what standard lab panels miss when chronic stress quietly reshapes the body. This episode is based on his article "Normal labs miss what most patients are living through," published on KevinMD. You will hear how sustained stress ripples through your hormones, gut, and immune system, and why a patient can be genuinely sick while every routine result comes back normal. Shiv walks through the targeted tests he uses, from salivary cortisol to the Dutch test, and is candid that not all of it is covered by insurance or backed by the usual evidence. He also makes the case for listening longer and treating the root cause, with real ways to do it inside a packed schedule. You will come away with practical ways to hear more in a short visit and follow the clues standard labs leave behind. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Marketing and comms lose leverage when the story, the proof, and the teams carrying them run in separate lanes.  That's how strong work gets less mileage than it should. Recognition stays in PR when demand could use it. Analyst proof misses the sales motion. Internal messaging sounds adjacent to the market story instead of connected to it. Bring the right lenses together early, and the narrative gets sharper, the proof works harder, and the brand voice becomes unmistakable wherever the business shows up.  In this episode, Drew talks with Clay Helm (At the Helm Consulting), Julia Goebel (Alight Solutions), and Marni Puente (SAIC) about what it takes to make marketing and communications work as one team behind the business story. They focus on trust, shared measurement, clear decision rights, and a healthy respect for what each discipline brings to growth.  In This Episode:  Clay shows what changes when comms plugs into pipeline, customer journey, and the daily rhythm of the business  Julia explains how leaders can honor each team's lens and make earned credibility work harder  Marni shows why unified leadership can sharpen brand alignment, culture, execution, and market impact  Plus:  Why one unmistakable brand voice matters across employees, customers, media, and the market  Why employee comms deserves C-suite attention in people-powered businesses  Why separate CMO and CCO roles need tight partnership and clear swim lanes  How to spot healthy integration before anyone has to force it  Listen in for how CMOs can bring marketing and communications into tighter sync and get more mileage from the story, proof, and credibility they already have.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

Mike emailed asking about typical exclusions or pre-existing concerns with LTC insurance. LTC insurance is governed by Internal revenue Code (IRC) 7702(b). To be able to offer insurance, companies must adhere to this rule. American Association for LTC insurance (AALTCi) has many resources available on this https://www.aaltci.org/long-term-care-insurance/ You can view both current and projected costs of care where you live at https://www.carescout.com/cost-of-care I strongly suggest using a 4 or 5% cost of living factor when checking future costs.

Angeliki Galanopoulou is Founder and Host of "the adaptive times" podcast, meanwhile taking a purposeful career break after more than seven years at Google. Angeliki discusses how AI is transforming work, job security, and career opportunities, particularly for millennials. She shares how burnout, loss, and rapid advances in AI prompted her to reassess work, wellbeing, and career priorities. Angeliki discusses why human connection, empathy, self-awareness, and continuous learning matter to stay relevant and thrive. She explains how millennials can build adaptability and agency to redesign work, explore entrepreneurship, and navigate increasingly uncertain careers.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   [01:34] Angeliki studies management science and technology while her career direction is unclear.   [02:36] Digital marketing fascinates Angeliki combining technology and customers decision-making.   [03:54] Understanding how the brain works - motivations, fears, and goals - improve sales.   [04:98] Empathy, energy, and memorable relationships can produce stronger business results.   [05:56] Burnout and coaching experience reshapes Angeliki's approach to skills, mindset, and work.   [06:36] Relentless high performance becomes unsustainable without reassessing personal priorities.   [07:05] Questioning what she wants, Angeliki identifies what gives her energy and does not.   [07:48] Self-awareness matters to help optimise how work is done and reduce burnout risk.   [09:05] Grief creates profound recalibration that cannot truly be prepared for beforehand.   [09:35] Previous burnout awareness can help protect energy during difficult periods, including grief.   [10:21] Major life events provoke deeper questions about choices, regrets, and careers.   [13:11] Traditional long-term job security is disappearing as careers become less predictable.   [13:42] Staying relevant now requires individuals to be 'selfish' about their professional growth.   [14:35] People staying in stable corporate jobs must keep pace with AI to stay relevant and improve their wellbeing.   [15:05] Other people leave their corporate jobs since AI lowers entrepreneurial barriers.   [17:04] Time spent AI upskilling is limited inside companies as people don't feel they have time.   [18:48] AI upskilling requires deliberately protecting learning time like formal education.   [19:46] Individuals must actively practice new tools rather than await organizational guidance.   [21:11] AI-prompted internal moves closer to technology for AI influence or to revenue for more perceived safety.   [22:00] Communication and influence skills become increasingly important as technology advances.   [22:15] Side hustles allow experimentation while maintaining the stability of corporate income.   [23:35] Adaptability begins with comfortably admitting uncertainty and remaining genuinely curious.   [26:06] Reframing is powerful, e.g. using frustrating situations to improve learning, communication, and personal agency.   [28:38] Effective communication starts with deep listening beyond another person's spoken words.   [29:31] Self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses reduces defensiveness and improves communication.   [30:23] Professional positioning should prioritize audience value while being authentic personally.   [32:18] Angeliki is advised to interview externally each year to test her market relevance and polish her positioning.   [33:55] Internal mobility helps employees pursue evolving interests while remaining organisationally relevant.   [34:54] Organizations should create protected time and resources for continuous AI learning.   [35:34] Smaller companies are likely more human-centred than larger companies to keep talent.   [37:30] Agency grows by noticing triggers, reframing reactions, and choosing constructive responses.   [38:46] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Practice communication, storytelling, positioning, and visible courage to build future readiness.     RESOURCES   Angeliki Galanopoulou on LinkedIn   the adaptive times podcast on YouTube   the adaptive times website      QUOTES   "The safety doesn't really exist, the job safety. Which means that it's on us selfishly and personally to arm ourselves and do what we can to stay relevant and be on top and succeed and thrive in the rest of our careers as millennials."   "It's your responsibility to keep up with AI for two reasons. Either to be super up-to-date, relevant and always top of mind, when it comes to doing your job more effectively and, and performing highly. Second, to actually improve your own wellbeing."   "The barrier to entry in anything you want to build is minimal. Anyone can build and launch anything with almost minimal cost."   "You build it [a side hustle] while you have the stable income. So I like to talk about corporate not necessarily as safe, but as stable."   "We should all be adaptable. That's the skill we should all build."   "See what triggers in you... And ask yourself, 'Is there a better way that will not ruin my mood for the day that I can look at it?' And then, 'Can I do something about it?'"

It turns out that Anthropic—the giant AI company behind the Claude chatbot—has been secretly destroying millions of books in the process of feeding them into the AI system. Slicing off the spines. Cutting the pages. Scanning them. And then discarding the remains.All to avoid paying copyright fees to the creators.The initiative was called Project Panama—and it was supposed to be a secret. We only learned about it through luck, basically—it was made public only because of the discovery process in an unrelated lawsuit.And the kicker is that it's 100 percent legal. Furthermore, ironically, it's only legal, because Anthropic destroys the books in the process of scanning them.

Motivation is a terrible plan and most of us keep learning that lesson the hard way.When you're tired, stressed, or not “feeling it,” the real challenge is not willpower, it's the story running in your head and whether you know how to work with it without sliding into burnout. We get extremely practical with 6 questions you can start using in the moments when your resistance to do the work shows up.Write them down.Put them on a sticky note.Put them on your phone's screensaver.We unpack the “what's so special about tomorrow?” trap, the power of a minimum viable rep (5%, 10%, 20% still counts), and how to make hard tasks easier to start using temptation bundling. We shift into focus and identity: what to think about, who to “hear” in your mind when you need to move, and how imagining two futures can snap you back into action right now. If you care about consistency, discipline, mindset, productivity, and goal setting for fitness, business, or life, this one gives you a simple framework you can reuse anytime resistance hits.Subscribe, share this with one person who's stuck in a yo-yo cycle, and leave a review with the question that helped you most.Read all the questions on my Substack: https://yourbestcoaching.substack.com/p/what-winners-do-when-they-feel-likeText Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

Dental marketing has changed significantly, but the goal is still to connect with the right patients and give them a reason to care.

You will learn how to use AI without losing trust, create content around patient outcomes, improve local and social marketing, track where patients actually come from, and evaluate your marketing budget based on your audience and competition. For practical ways to make your marketing more effective, listen to Episode 1085 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Marketing platforms and techniques continue to change, but effective marketing still depends on connecting with people and giving them something they care about.AI should be used as a tool rather than a substitute for human communication, and practices should be transparent when AI-generated avatars or content are being used.Dental content builds more trust when it shows the patient outcome of treatment instead of focusing only on procedures.Practices can expand their local reach by supporting nearby businesses and organizations and collaborating with them through social media content.Marketing budgets should be based on the competitive environment, the patients the practice wants to serve, and the activities that produce a measurable return.New patient forms can help identify the patient journey by allowing patients to select every marketing source that contributed to their decision.Internal marketing should emphasize patient appreciation and practice culture, while external marketing should create a consistent experience across reviews, social media, websites, ads, and patient communication.Episode Chapters:00:00 What is working in dental marketing today.02:39 Minal's background in marketing and dental hygiene.05:40 Creating a Guinness World Record campaign.10:11 How dental marketing changed after COVID-19.13:26 The growing role of AI in marketing.14:55 Using AI while maintaining trust.17:00 Humanizing AI-generated communication.21:05 Social media content and Google search visibility.22:30 Creating dental content that builds trust.28:49 A simple local marketing strategy for dental practices.30:59 Combining ground marketing with social media.33:11 Leveraging existing marketing to reduce unnecessary spending.35:37 Understanding your target audience.36:52 Marketing KPIs and tracking patient sources.40:07 Internal versus external marketing.42:29 Evaluating the potential patient journey.44:15 Final thoughts on using marketing tools effectively.44:47 Minal's Exchange session.45:43 Podcast Wrap UpGuest Bio:Minal Sampat, RDH is the bestselling author of Why Your Marketing Is Killing Your Business, And What To Do About It.

Joe McConaughy was a college miler who had never raced anything longer than a mile when he Googled "run the Pacific Crest Trail" at 22 years old. 53 days and 2,600 miles later, he held the speed record.   Joe De Sena sits down with Joe, a trail runner, coach, race director, and new dad, to break down what actually happens to your body and mind past day 40 of a multi-day speed record, why he spent the final 15 days running on a peg leg after his ankle lost function, and the hallucination at the top of Mount Whitney where an imaginary man named Andre offered to take his watch and finish the record for him.   They cover the 50-to-90-percent grind zone where every race is won or lost, how an invisible competitor on a GPS tracker squeezed a stronger finish out of McConaughy than any training block ever could, and why he calls ultra running a silly, selfish sport.   Things You Will Learn: Why the middle of every race, from a 5K to a 2,600-mile record attempt, is where performance is decided. Why a D1 college miler with zero ultra experience set a 2,600-mile speed record at 22 and what broke along the way. The differences among short, medium, and long multi-day efforts, and how sleep strategy changes for each. Tools & Frameworks Covered: The 50–90% Grind Zone: Between halfway and 90% of any race distance, you will believe it is impossible or that it will never end. Expect it. Plan for it. Push through it. Internal vs. External Activation" Ninety percent of an ultra is you against yourself. The remaining 10% can unlock performance you cannot access alone. Build external pressure into your race plan. Miles Over Smiles / Smiles Over Miles: The grind is real. The suffering is real. But if the process does not fill your cup on the other side, you will not keep showing up long enough to get good.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up.

Should you pray every line of every Psalm?In this reflection on Psalm 109, John Ortberg tackles one of the most difficult passages in the Bible—and offers one of the most freeing insights of the entire Psalms series.What do we do with prayers that sound angry, vengeful, or even shocking?Drawing on the work of René Girard, John explains that the Psalms are not polished theological essays. They are honest prayers in process. They teach us how to bring our real emotions into God's presence without pretending, suppressing, or acting on them.This episode explores:- Psalm 109 and the imprecatory psalms- Why the Bible gives voice to victims- The difference between words and actions- Internal processors vs. external processors- Why prayer is a journey, not a performance- How Jesus Himself prayed the PsalmsScriptures:- Psalm 109- Psalms 113–118- Matthew 5:43–48- Matthew 26:30#Psalm109 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #Psalms #RenéGirard #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #HonestPrayer #Jesus

About a year ago in one of my PhD classes, I voiced a huge gripe I had about somatic and nervous system practices. I shared that my friction with them was that they have been stripped down and depersonalized into these practices that anyone can do at any time and will support everyone in any moment to feel calmer or more grounded or safer or more regulated. My teacher replied with, "Well everyone still needs to start somewhere." This gave me a pause to reflect that even if you choose a somatic or nervous system practice that doesn't resonate with your body and is just some blanket suggestion, it can still teach you about what doesn't work for you based on your emotions, sensations, and nervous system states. And then, sometimes you're going to nail it. You're going to choose the exact bodily movement that you needed that brings your body into a place of safety and connection and brings greater ease and breath. So I've updated my perspective that all practices in all moments can be supportive and will be a discovery of yourself and for yourself to know what works for your body and nervous system. I had an amazing experience in this episode being guided through a nervous system practice that quickly changed how I felt.In this week's episode, I chat with Alyssa Chang, neuroscience health coach and the creator of The Regulation Method™, about: The impact of neuroscience on healingInteroceptionTailoring nervous system practices to your individual needsPractical exercises for enhancing awareness of the felt sense of your bodyNavigating sensory overloadThe role of predictability in healingCreating tiny moments of changeYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/interoception-get-to-know-your-bodys-internal-dashboardThis episode was chock full of nervous system practices so you'll definitely walk away with practices you can incorporate into your day.With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Alyssa: Website: https://www.coachalyssachang.com/Email: hello@coachalyssachang.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachalyssachang/Free 45- minute masterclass: https://www.coachalyssachang.com/masterclassoptinSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

What makes great executives stand out? I'm thrilled to share Part 1 of a 3-part series that will explore the foundations of positive leadership. Throughout this special set of episodes, I will be sharing the stage with Kevin Ford, the award-winning CEO of Calian who recently stepped down. In this episode, Kevin and I start the conversation by taking an honest look at why leading yourself matters most.

Janatan Sayeh: The Iranian regime has dramatically escalated its internal reign of terror, with executions increasing by over 100 percent in some regions. Revolutionary courts, led by brutal judges such as Mohammad Reza Tavakoli, use public hangings and floggings to desensitize and intimidate the population. These courts specifically target young dissidents, journalists, and even musicians for offending the supreme leader or waging war against God. Washington is criticized for failing to invoke human rights sanctions since January, even as other Western nations act. The surge in executions often coincides with diplomatic negotiations, serving as the regime's deliberate internal priority to liquidate all political dissent. (9)Q9Q0 RUSSIAN SOLDIERS IN PERSIA

A recent ballistic missile launch served as a show of strength before a state visit to the US. Copley notes that youth unemployment is high, and the PLA may eventually act independently. (11)
