If sales have started to feel heavy, frustrating, or emotionally draining, the problem may not be your strategy—it may be your mindset. In this episode, Ray Higdon explains why sales feels hard and how simple mindset shifts can immediately change your experience and results. Most salespeople unknowingly tie their emotions to outcomes, rejection, and responses. But top performers detach from results and instead anchor themselves in activity, patience, and consistency. You will learn how to stop fearing rejection, why becoming addicted to activity transforms performance, and how shifting from "trying to close" to simply "seeing who's open" reduces pressure and increases conversions. Ray also explains why consistency, courage, and stepping outside your comfort zone are essential for success to become inevitable. —  

This episode breaks down why hard conversations often go poorly in coaching and how to handle them with clarity, calm, and consistency. Rob and Dustin outline a simple, repeatable framework that works with today's athletes and staff.Key Ideas• The 10–90 Rule: The first 10% of a hard conversation determines 90% of the outcome. How you start matters most.• Why these conversations matter: Most athletes have low reps in real conflict. Avoidance and emotional escalation are common. Coaches who handle conflict well build trust and stability.The Six Steps1. Invite — don't ambush Set a clear time, place, and purpose. Avoid vague “we need to talk” messages.2. Identify the issue Name the problem and stick to it. Don't drift into personal attacks.3. Inform the process Set simple ground rules: listen first, ask clarifying questions, work toward next steps.4. Listen to understand Not to win. Let the other person fully empty the tank.5. Give back Acknowledge the kernel of truth. Take the low seat when appropriate; it strengthens trust.6. Take action Agree on next steps and walk out aligned. Clarity and unity matter.SummaryConsistent structure + emotional regulation = better outcomes. Coaches who embrace hard conversations—not avoid them—lead stronger teams.LinksApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-coaching-an-impactful-coaching-project-podcast/id1711128150 Spotify: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-coaching-an-impactful-coaching-project-podcast/id1711128150 Substack: https://impactfulcoachingproject.substack.com

Are your prospects ghosting you after showing interest? If people say they're interested, ask for the video, and then disappear, the problem may not be your leads—it may be your posture. In this episode, Ray Higdon breaks down the real reason prospects stop responding and how subtle shifts in posture and positioning dramatically affect your close rate. Most salespeople assume ghosting is a prospect problem. But in reality, prospects respond to energy, positioning, and how conversations are led. Ray explains why chasing repels prospects, how speaking above a prospect's position creates resistance, and how to follow up without sounding needy or desperate. You will also learn a simple follow-up framework that creates urgency, filters serious prospects, and increases closing percentages. If you are in sales, network marketing, direct sales, or entrepreneurship, this episode will help you stop getting ghosted and start leading conversations with confidence and clarity. Keywords naturally included: why prospects stop responding, sales ghosting, handling unresponsive prospects, sales posture, follow-up strategies, closing more sales, network marketing training, sales positioning, improving response rates, prospecting mistakes —

We talk about healing as though it's inevitable. As though proximity to Scripture, therapy language, or Christian community automatically produces transformation. But God does not force anyone into wholeness. He invites. He confronts. He calls. And too many believers confuse awareness with growth. This week on Win Today, Debra Fileta joins me for a sober conversation about emotional health and spiritual maturity. We examine why so many Christians remain emotionally immature while sounding spiritually fluent, how "trauma-informed" has in some circles become trauma-defined identity, and why you cannot become spiritually mature if your mental and emotional life is neglected. Healing is not passive. It is participatory. If your faith is sincere but your reactions are volatile… if you know the right language but keep repeating the same patterns… or if you've mistaken self-protection for self-awareness, this episode will clarify what real growth actually requires. Guest Bio Debra Fileta is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in relationship, marital, mental, and emotional health. She is the author of five books, host of the Love + Relationships Podcast, and founder of TrueLoveDates.com, a widely read relationship advice platform reaching millions worldwide.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

In 2018, Ghislaine Maxwell—despite years of public allegations connecting her to Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation—was invited to and attended Jeff Bezos's elite and secretive literary retreat known as Campfire. The event, hosted by Bezos annually, brings together top authors, tech moguls, and media power players at a private location for a weekend of discussions, panels, and informal networking. Maxwell's presence at the retreat raised eyebrows, not only because of her reputation by that point, but also because it demonstrated how seamlessly she continued to move through the highest levels of elite society even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Her attendance revealed a stunning level of normalization and acceptance within powerful circles, despite her growing notoriety.Maxwell reportedly arrived at the Campfire event alongside entrepreneur Scott Borgerson, a figure later revealed to be in a close relationship with her, though he denied any romantic involvement at the time. Attendees included influential figures from Silicon Valley, publishing, and entertainment—none of whom publicly objected to her presence. The revelation of her invitation has sparked renewed scrutiny into how the world's wealthiest and most influential people continued to welcome Epstein's known enablers into their inner circles long after the broader public became aware of their roles. It serves as yet another example of how elite spaces often insulate their own, regardless of the crimes that surround them.source:https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/01/jeffrey-epstein-friend-ghislaine-maxwell-was-guest-at-jeff-bezos-event.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, Jessica speaks with Susan Morgan, Education Practice Leader at CannonDesign, about radically student-centered design in educational spaces. Susan shares her unique journey from participating in school design projects as a 10-year-old Montessori student to becoming an architect dedicated to creating learning environments that inspire curiosity. She discusses innovative projects including the Irman Crest Elementary School—a groundbreaking collaboration with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh—and the ongoing Independence High School project. The conversation explores how buildings can become tools for learning rather than just containers for activities, and how exposing students to diverse opportunities through intentional spatial design can unlock their potential. Takeaways: Buildings as learning tools: Design schools that actively participate in learning, not just house it Start with "what if": Invite all stakeholders to reimagine possibilities before focusing on constraints Remove barriers to curiosity: Create environments that support natural learning instincts rather than limiting them Make opportunities visible: Use spatial connections so students are exposed to disciplines they might not otherwise discover Design for adaptability: Treat schools like museums—plan for environments to evolve with changing pedagogy and technology When learners thrive, communities flourish: This is the heart of radically student-centered design Learn More About Kay-Twelve: Website: https://kay-twelve.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kay-twelve-com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kay_twelve/ Episode 304 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

If you want to close more sales, you may be focusing on the wrong part of the process. In this episode, Ray Higdon reveals why closing actually starts much earlier than most salespeople think—and shares three practical action steps you can apply immediately to increase conversions. You will learn why talking to more people dramatically improves close rates, how closing begins the moment you start interacting with a prospect, and why expanding the problem (without manipulating it) naturally leads to stronger buying decisions. Ray also explains why waiting for marketing to work is one of the biggest income killers in modern sales. If you are in sales, network marketing, direct sales, coaching, or entrepreneurship, this episode will help you close more deals by improving activity, posture, and conversation strategy.   —

Does God call us? Do we call on God? Is salvation only up to God or do we play a role? Where does baptism fit in that scenario? Does baptism even fit? Does it matter when it comes to salvation? Is the only thing we have to do is to confess Jesus and believe in our heart? We tackle these question in this episode.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.On Friday, February 20, we're back in Haggai 1, but today the spotlight is on one verse that will either wake you up or expose you:“Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house… that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified.” (Hag. 1:8)This is the correction we don't want—but desperately need: God doesn't always send a miracle first. Sometimes He hands you a shovel, points at the mountain, and says, “Start.”We keep waiting on the big breakthrough… while God is waiting on our obedience. We keep praying for provision… while God is calling for participation.Here's the principle: Do what you can, so God can do what you can't. You can't change a heart. You can't save anyone. But you can take the hike, bring the wood, and build what honors Him.Today's challenge is simple and practical: bring somebody with you. Invite them to worship. Invite them into the Word. Put in the work—so God gets the glory.

If your prospects are controlling the conversation, you have already lost. In this episode, Ray Higdon breaks down why sales reps and leaders must stop letting prospects push them around—and how to reclaim authority without becoming defensive, arrogant, or aggressive. The foundation of confident selling is belief. If you do not fully believe in your product, service, or opportunity, prospects will feel it instantly. Ray explains why conviction is the first requirement of sales posture and how making the prospect "the prize" destroys your positioning. You will also learn powerful responses to common objections like "Is this a scam?" and "How much money are you making?"—including how to answer confidently even if you are brand new and have not made money yet. If you are in sales, network marketing, direct sales, coaching, or entrepreneurship, this episode will help you manage the frame of the conversation, increase authority, and close more sales without people-pleasing.   —  

“And where is he?” . . . “Why did you leave him? Invite him to have something to eat.” — Exodus 2:20 Church planting can bring lots of excitement and challenges. Have you ever met a church planter? They give up many of the comforts and expectations of a church home because God is calling them to reach out. They are moving in a direction that hasn't been tested before. With that comes great excitement and a little fear. They are motivated to start a new church so that others can hear the good news and come to know Jesus. They invite others to join them, and that can mean serving on a steering committee. They meet neighbors and other Christians and share meals and ideas as they make conversation and discuss strategies and plans, and the list of people touched by God's love continues to grow. Every church planter looks for the person or group in a community who can introduce them to others whom they might need to reach. These can be people who know how to connect with others and share stories, people with helpful skills, people who can help with financing or vision or provide support in other ways. They are all community champions and people of peace. Moses became a person like that when he helped Reuel's daughters. They invited him in, and he became part of their family. He became a keeper of flocks. In that space he learned from God, who was preparing him for important work to do. In what ways might God be calling and preparing you to join him on mission?  Lord, help us to hear you and respond to your plan and purpose for our lives. Guide us to move in the direction you are sending us in. Amen.

There are ways Christians escape that don't look like rebellion. They look like busyness. Performance. Endless content. Religious activity. We stay "engaged," but we are quietly numb. And over time, that numbness settles into the body as anxiety, irritability, and bitterness we don't know how to name. This week on Win Today, Stephen McWhirter joins me to discuss the socially acceptable ways believers avoid reality and why those patterns keep us stuck. Stephen's story is raw. He grew up in a violent home, ran hard from God through addiction and self-destruction, and encountered the presence of the Lord in a moment that changed everything. We explore how trauma and rebellion can coexist with spiritual language, how bitterness lodges itself in the body, and what it means to become a resting place for chaos rather than a reactor to it. This episode isn't about shame. It's about sobriety. If you've been medicating pain with distraction, ministry, content, or noise, this conversation will help you confront what you've been avoiding and rediscover what it means to be radically restored. Guest Bio Stephen McWhirter is a singer, songwriter, and worship leader known for his powerful testimony of transformation and his passion for helping others encounter the presence of God. After growing up in a tumultuous home and spending years in addiction and rebellion, Stephen experienced a radical encounter with Christ that reshaped his life and calling. He now leads worship and shares his story nationally, pointing people toward healing, identity, and freedom in Jesus.

Ash Wednesday is a day filled with possibility. Today, the world walks around marked with ashes — repentant, desiring change, longing to become who God created us to be. But most of us don't actually pray for transformation. We pray for small adjustments. In Day 1 of Rise Up, Fr. Jonathan challenges you to stop asking for minor improvements and start surrendering everything. What righteous deeds will you commit to during these 40 days? What in your life needs to change — not be tweaked — but transformed? This journey doesn't end at Easter Sunday. We will walk together through: • 46 days of Lent • 50 days of Easter • All the way to Pentecost 95 days of daily encouragement, challenge, and accountability. Let's rise up. ⸻

Moving Away From ComfortLeaders Are Self-Led "Remember not the former things… Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:18–19, ESV) Friday nights in the 90s often started with a drive to the strip mall to visit the local Blockbuster. I still remember that distinct smell of a thousand plastic cases mixed with the faint scent of buttered popcorn. We'd wander the aisles aimlessly, scanning rows of movies, hoping to find something good. The New Releases wall was always empty, so we ended up with two or three classic movies. A quick scan of your Blockbuster card, some microwave popcorn, and an ice-cold Coke, and our weekend was officially set, as long as you remembered to, "Be kind, rewind." At its peak, Blockbuster had nearly nine thousand stores. Those iconic blue and yellow signs were in every town. Home entertainment ran through them. They did not compete in the market. They were the market. Then a small company showed up with red envelopes and a simple question. What if people didn't have to come to us? What if movies showed up at their door? What if there were no late fees at all? Blockbuster laughed. Netflix was a novelty. A slow option for people willing to wait. Blockbuster had momentum. They were not failing. They were winning. They were comfortable. That comfort cost them. Netflix started by mailing DVDs across the country. Then, while that model was still working, they began investing in a new idea, streaming movies through the internet. No one thought it would work. Few had the bandwidth or patience. When it did work, they leaned in harder. Soon the mailed DVDs, the model that built them, was discontinued. When online content exploded, they shifted again, producing original stories and building a global platform. Netflix was never married to a method, only its mission, "to entertain the world." Blockbuster lost because they tried to protect what they were comfortable with. Netflix won because they challenged their own comfort zones. Comfort rarely looks like failure. However, that's what it becomes when you settle into a season of success. Blockbuster did not fail because it lacked resources. It failed because it clung too tightly to what worked in a previous season. That is why the Lord says, "Remember not the former things." God is not dismissing what He has done. He is warning us not to settle there. Yesterday's success can quietly become today's blind spot if we stop perceiving what God is doing next (Isaiah 43:18–19, ESV). The Hidden Cost of Comfort There is a big cost to falling into complacency, one that should terrify a leader. It costs momentum. Momentum is built by consistently moving in the right direction over time. When you have it, everything feels easier. When you lose it, everything becomes harder. Momentum never gives you permission to coast. You are always fighting some sort of friction. If you stop adding the right amount of energy, momentum dies, and once it's gone, you may never recapture it. It costs multiplication. Multiplication is momentum that begins to compound. It takes a season of winning and turns it into sustained fruitfulness. But comfort interrupts that process. What should be multiplying suddenly starts getting managed, and management stalls growth. It costs maximum impact. The goal of a leader should be to make the greatest impact possible, leaving nothing on the table. We seek to give God the fullest return on our obedience. Comfortable leaders may stay busy, but they will never reach their maximum potential. Comfort does not destroy leaders. It limits them. Comfort becomes their ceiling. Signs You've Grown Comfortable • You reference past wins more than present opportunities. • You defend current systems more than you discern coming seasons. • You explain away holy discomfort instead of leaning into it. • You manage what exists rather than steward what God is birthing. Read those again slowly. One of them likely stung. Getting comfortable is where leadership stalls, not by failure, but in settling. You quietly trade significance for the status quo. How to Move Away From Comfort God asks, "Do you not perceive it?" He says something new is springing up. This means it is not the availability of opportunity, but your attentiveness to it. So where do we begin? 1. Start with what now feels easy. Where does your leadership no longer require faith? What can you do now without thinking that once caused you to push yourself? Ease is often the first warning sign of growing too comfortable. 2. Disrupt your routine. Growth rarely comes from big changes. It often begins with a simple disruption or change of rhythm. Delegate something you like controlling. Have the conversation you have been avoiding. Look for a new way of doing something old. 3. Choose a place to stretch your faith. Ask yourself where growth would require more faith than experience. Your maximum potential just might live on the other side of some discomfort. 4. Invite accountability into your comfortable spaces. Ask a trusted leader this question: "Where do you see me playing it safe or leaving potential untapped?" Invite feedback and discover where growth is possible. 5. Reignite hunger.Does your current vision still require God? If you fulfilled every current goal you have, would anything really change? Remember God's call on your life is immeasurably more. That has to mean more than the status quo, right? "Behold, I am doing a new thing," is an invitation to get uncomfortable again. Comfort will keep you where you are. Moving away from comfort will take you where you are called to be. Questions: 1. Where in your leadership have past wins quietly become present assumptions? In other words, what are you still doing primarily because it once worked, not because you are convinced God is calling you to do it now? 2. What area of your leadership currently feels safest, most predictable, or least dependent on God? How might that comfort be limiting your growth, influence, or maximum potential? 3. What specific discomfort is God inviting you to embrace in this next season? Name one concrete step you could take this week that would require faith, stretch your capacity, and move you away from maintenance and toward mission.

Most sales reps believe that closing more sales requires being more aggressive, more persuasive, or more pushy. That belief is costing you deals. In this episode, Ray Higdon breaks down the fastest no-pressure way to increase your sales conversions—and it has nothing to do with pressure tactics. It has everything to do with posture. Ray explains how managing the energy of the conversation changes everything. When prospects pull away, most untrained reps lean in harder. But the opposite approach—maintaining strong posture and pulling back—actually increases authority, trust, and conversion rates. If you are in sales, network marketing, direct sales, affiliate marketing, or team leadership, this episode will show you how to close more deals without feeling pushy, desperate, or aggressive. —

We are living through a crisis of clarity. In the name of empathy, we have untethered compassion from truth, traded moral courage for slogans, and reduced identity to something endlessly self-constructed. The result is not freedom, but confusion, where words lose meaning, conviction is treated as cruelty, and the church often responds with language that sounds kind but forms no one. This week on Win Today, apologist and author Abdu Murray joins me for a sober, unflinching conversation about self-creation, gender ideology, and the liabilities of a post-truth culture. We examine how empathy becomes destructive when it is severed from reality, why identity collapses when it is built on feelings alone, and how the church's reliance on syrupy slogans leaves believers ill-equipped to engage the moment with wisdom and courage. This isn't reactionary, it's diagnostic. If you sense the ground shifting beneath basic definitions of personhood, truth, and meaning, this episode offers clarity without cruelty and conviction without caricature. Guest Bio Abdu Murray is an author, speaker, and apologist who explores the intellectual credibility of the Christian faith in a post-truth world. With a background in law and years of experience engaging questions of identity, meaning, and worldview, Abdu is widely respected for his clarity, charity, and ability to address complex cultural issues with reasoned conviction.

If your sales team is underperforming, there's a strong chance you're missing one critical metric—and it's quietly costing you revenue every single month. In this episode, Ray Higdon reveals the leadership blind spot most sales leaders never track: activity. While many leaders obsess over sales numbers, rank advancements, and new customers, they often ignore the one thing that actually drives those results. Ray explains why tracking activity—not just outcomes—is essential for improving sales performance, increasing production, and preventing leadership burnout. He also breaks down how recognizing effort (not just results), running activity-based contests, and setting weekly activity goals can dramatically improve team morale and consistency. If you're a sales leader, network marketing leader, entrepreneur, or manager, this episode will help you eliminate sabotage, focus your time on the right people, and increase revenue without working longer hours. —
