In this episode of Keep the Change, Coco sits down with Kate to break down what due diligence (DD) really means: learning how to research opportunities, spot red flags, and make grounded decisions instead of emotional ones driven by FOMO. They open with an investment loss-and-recovery table to show why protecting capital matters like how a 50% loss requires a 100% gain to break even, and a 90% loss requires 900% and why understanding your downside tolerance humbles you, stabilises your emotions, and protects your long-term compounding.Coco and Kate explain how “fantasy vs nightmare” thinking can distort judgement, why time and a second set of eyes help make blind spots conscious, and why you should never feel pressured or “bamboozled” by complex language or sales pitches. They share two real examples: a fund marketed as delivering 20% p.a. from Australian shares, and a leveraged crypto trading fund promoted by influencers claiming 12% per month. For the Australian share fund, Kate outlines practical DD checks: unclear strategy descriptions, guaranteed returns, missing ASIC licensing/registration, investors owning units in a structure rather than the underlying shares, liquidity realities of the ASX (especially for small caps), and a major red flag when the referrer said they “got in trouble” for questions. They also discuss incentives—referral fees, what's “in it” for the person selling it—and why being told not to ask questions is a deal-breaker. Coco  notes ASIC later froze the fund's assets and alleged it may be a Ponzi scheme, with some investors reportedly putting 100% of their self-managed super into it and losing everything.In the crypto example, they describe how leverage and a lack of stop-losses led to an intraday volatility event that wiped accounts to zero, with some investors adding more money only to lose it immediately. They highlight behavioural warning signs: inflated hype, promises of replacing income easily, and marketing-driven “instant riches” narratives.The core message: emotions and money don't mix; preserving capital is the first job of an investor; ask hard questions, trust your intuition, diversify, avoid guaranteed returns, and walk away when things feel off. They encourage listeners to bet on themselves, move steadily over time, and not let losses destroy confidence and compounding. They invite DMs for questions, ask listeners to share the episode, and emphasise getting more money into the hands of women who are educated and wise about money for community ripple effects.00:00 Welcome to Keep the Change + What ‘Due Diligence' Really Means01:29 Why Losses Hurt More Than Gains: The Investment Loss & Recovery Table03:54 Staying Grounded: Emotions, ‘Fantasy vs Nightmare,' and Avoiding FOMO07:28 Make the Unconscious Conscious: Blind Spots, Second Opinions, and Taking Time08:53 Real-World Cautionary Tales: Two Investments Going Wrong (Setting the Stage)11:18 Case Study #1 The ‘20% p.a.'

Top managers create clear direction in their teams to be able to consistently beat team targets. How top managers create clear direction is exactly what I am sharing today.  As I am sure you have worked out, creating clear direction in teams in not straight forward or easy. It takes work to set clear team direction. What you get back in improved performance is worth every single minute spent.  Learn the top six ways for how top managers create clear team direction --- --- How top managers create clear team direction starts with choosing one way (or less than 5) to measure or define direction. Most companies have a lot of data. There are so many different ways of measuring progress, it can be tempting to follow lots. Don't. To create clear team direction choose one.  Next for how the best managers create clear direction, managers translate company strategy into simple language. People don't follow what they don't understand. Jargon or corporate speak is not useful. Make sure each individual in your team has targets and goals they can relate to aligned to company and team direction. Essential for setting team direction.  In communicating clear team direction, you can't say your message once and expect it to be enough. People lead busy lives and there are a ton of distractions every single day. Keep repeating your message to set clear direction and for instilling team direction  Next in giving direction to teams work to foster engagement and buy-in from the team. I share really practical tips on how to achieve this fairly quickly.  Always keep your direction and any KPIs you use visible.

They start with food, from wild game, sauces, boudin, to the details that make a meal worth sitting down for, then move into baseball, the Giants, spring training, and what it took for Will to separate himself at the highest level. Will talks openly about work ethic, preparation, training, and why he never backed away from telling people exactly what he thought. The conversation also gets into hunting, shooting, and ethics in the field, along with why being a responsible, accurate shooter matters. Will shares how that same mindset carried over from sports into the outdoors. An awesomeconversation with one of the game's greats, recorded the way these talks are meant to happen — at duck camp.

Do you really need massive download numbers to earn an income in podcasting? Today, we're digging into the mailbag to answer listener questions that get to the heart of how podcasts actually grow and earn. We start with a smart question about marketing your back catalog and why older episodes can still work for your show long after they're published. That conversation opens the door to discussion on podcast sponsorships. Co-host Sid breaks down how independent podcasters can think about pricing in a way that makes sense for smaller, loyal audiences. Instead of chasing download counts or copying what big shows do, we talk about understanding your costs, the value of your audience, and why monetization is something you build toward over time. This doesn't happen overnight, and it's part of the process. If you're an indie podcaster trying to figure out what sponsorships could look like for your show, this episode offers an intentional way to think about value and long-term sustainability.Episode Highlights: [03:41] Breaking news on the Substack data breach[05:21] Password security tips and best practices[09:32] Marketing your podcast's back catalog[27:43] Analyzing data in Apple Podcasts Connect[29:49] The Wheel of Jargon: understanding podcast terms[32:21] Understanding shadow banning on social media[38:09] Deciding sponsorship rates for your podcast[39:04] Sid's sponsorship strategy and real-world success[43:38] Understanding the value of your podcast audienceLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerBook A Free Call With Me: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallThe Trend Report with Sid Meadows: https://www.sidmeadows.com/podcastRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

On parle beaucoup de futur du travail.Télétravail, semaine de quatre jours, IA, nouvelles organisations…Mais dès qu'on gratte un peu, une question revient toujours : est-ce que c'est légal ?Dans cet épisode, je reçois Thomas Godey, avocat en droit social et associé du cabinet Ærige. Un avocat qui parle de droit sans jargon, avec une obsession : ramener le juridique au plus près du terrain et du réel des entreprises.On démarre par son parcours atypique — fils d'agriculteurs, bac raté, droit comme “bouée de sauvetage” — et par ce qui l'anime aujourd'hui : éviter que le droit n'arrive trop tard, quand tout est déjà cassé. Puis on entre dans le dur :

Paul Hawken is a brilliant thinker, author, activist, and elder who masterfully distills wisdom about our planetary home. I remember hearing Paul's 2009 commencement speech called "​You Are Brilliant and The Earth is Hiring​" where he said "You are going to have to figure out what it means to be a human being on Earth at a time when every living system is declining and the rate of decline is accelerating."  Paul is the author of nine bestselling books including '​Drawdown​', '​Regeneration​', and his latest book '​Carbon, The Book of Life​'—an incredible book that came out in 2025 and masterfully distills endless planetary wisdom into simple truths we all need to hear. (I included it in '​The Very Best Books I Read in 2025​.')  Grab a seat between us and let's talk about how nature cooperates, why fighting climate change is the wrong metaphor, why the climate crisis is a human crisis, how jargon disconnects, and what decades of activism have taught Paul about being human. This conversation with a sage of sages stuck with me and I think it'll stick with you. Let's flip the page into Chapter 157 now ...

Text a Message to the ShowToday we return to police officer JD Pettey to talk about what happens when an officer starts talking during someone else's tragedy and how badly that can go.  JD's family has had a number of serious tragedies and he was gracious enough to share those difficult memories with us because each story is an example of cops saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, even when they knew they were talking to a fellow police.  Obviously this is a sensitive conversation with discussion of suicide and other tragic deaths, but this is also one of my favorite conversations I've ever had with a police officer.  I think it was instructive, insightful, and even funny at times.  And we've all been there, when you need just the right words, and instead you put your foot your mouth.Music is by Alexander Nakarada and by National SweetheartHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 132.5Tags:Police, Accidents, Assumptions, Communication, Death Notifications, Family, Humor, Jargon, Loss, Professionalism, Suicide, Tragedy, Kansas City, Kansas, Missouri, OklahomaSupport the showThanks for Listening!

As podcasters, we often don't realize what we don't know until we've already learned it the hard way. The mistakes. The face-palm moments. The times when nothing feels quite right yet. Today, we're sharing real stories from our adventures in podcasting.  We discuss what we've learned only after hitting record, why confusion and pivots are part of the process, and how clarity tends to emerge after you begin, not before. We also reflect on what attracted us to podcasting, and what keeps us coming back.  You're not behind, you're not failing, and you're not doing it wrong. If you're just starting, picking things back up, or quietly wondering if you're cut out for this, your story is worth telling, and you belong here. Podcasting is an art form that doesn't require perfection. However, it does require honesty, patience, and time.

She shares how to use jargon more deliberately, explains the origin of some annoying or amusing buzzwords, and discusses how English became the global business language and how that could change.

Mao, Purges, and Ideological Jargon. Joseph Turigian explores Mao Zedong's description of Xi Zhongxun: "The Party Interests Come First." The segment recounts Xi Zhongxun's detention in 1935, nearly facing execution before Mao's Long Marchers arrived. The discussion clarifies the legend that Mao personally saved him versus the complex facts of his eventual release and incomplete rehabilitation. Turigian defines confusing Chinese Communist Party jargon, explaining "leftist" as too ambitious and "rightist" as not serious enough about revolution. It concludes by detailing Mao's development of Marxism through sinicization. Guest: Joseph Turigian. 1901

Leah and Dr. Shelly, both occupational therapists who have either earned or are working toward dual certification as BCBAs, join me to talk about the power and challenges of blending these two worlds. Believe it or not, there aren't even statistics on how many dual-certified professionals are out there—but the impact of this crossover is clear. Their work centers on collaboration with families and other professionals, finding common ground between OT and ABA.We talk about the funding and system barriers that can make integration tough, and how learning to understand each other's “jargon” helps break those walls down. As Dr. Shelly says, OTs and BCBAs are often working toward the same goals—they just use different words. Sometimes, you have to “massage the message” so everyone can connect and understand.Dr. Shelly also shares insight into the business and insurance side of implementation, while Leah highlights the importance of spreading the word about the tools ABA offers. Their message is simple: put the egos aside, keep listening, and stay open to learning from each other.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:The growing overlap between OT and ABAWhy collaboration starts with learning each other's “language”Navigating funding and system barriers that limit integrationPutting egos aside to focus on shared goals and learning from one anotherMentioned In This Episode:Is This My Child?: Sensory Integration SimplifiedCircle Care ServicesThe Autism Roundtable Podcast - Circle Care ServicesMy BCBA Life Podcast - Circle Care Services Join the ABA Speech Connection  ABA Speech: HomeRecoverycast: Mental Health & Addiction Recovery StoriesReal talk, real recovery, actually entertaining.

The B2B marketing playbook is changing faster than most businesses realise.SEO still works. Google Ads still deliver. Email campaigns still convert. But if your entire strategy relies on prospects finding you through traditional Google searches, you're missing a massive shift in buyer behaviour.Your buyers are researching differently. They're having longer, more detailed conversations before they ever visit your website. They're building shortlists from sources you might not even be tracking. And if your brand isn't visible in these new research channels, you're losing deals before you know they exist.In this episode, I'm breaking down three B2B marketing strategies that are working right now for our clients:Why digital PR isn't just for sexy consumer brands. I'll show you how we got an insulation and ventilation company featured across dozens of industry publications by turning new legislation into newsworthy content. Even "boring" B2B businesses can leverage digital PR effectively.How to win when nobody's searching for your solution. When only 20 people per month google your product category, keyword-focused SEO won't cut it. I'll walk through how we drove 361% traffic growth and 11% conversion rates for a takeaway packaging company by targeting problems, not keywords.Why most B2B websites are conversion killers and what to do about it. Jargon-heavy copy, unclear positioning, blocky layouts with zero personality. We redesigned one client's site with B2C principles in mind and generated 51 highly qualified leads in four months. I'll show you exactly what changed.I'll also share data that reveals something surprising: when buyers research solutions in 2026, the brands that get recommended aren't always the ones with the best SEO. Third-party visibility matters more than ever.The fundamentals haven't disappeared. Long sales cycles, multiple decision-makers, and proven channels still define B2B marketing. However, the businesses dominating in 2026 are the ones adding new layers to their strategy, whilst their competitors stick with what worked in 2023.This episode provides the complete roadmap for future-proofing your B2B marketing before your competitors catch on.Enjoy these episodes next:Why “AI Search is Just SEO” is a Dangerous Liehttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/364/The BEST SEO Strategies for 2026https://exposureninja.com/podcast/368/The BEST Digital Marketing Strategies for 2026https://exposureninja.com/podcast/369/

There's a way to sound spiritually mature while staying completely unformed, and therapy culture is helping people do just that. This week on Win Today, Matt Chandler joins us to confront the drift we're experiencing: where therapy culture replaces repentance, where identity confusion isn't grieved, and where safe Christian jargon sounds right but does nothing to transform the soul. We talk about why discipleship doesn't always feel safe. Why comfort doesn't heal—it sedates. And how complaining isn't just venting; it's forming your view of God. Matt names the thin theology that's left people chasing emotional relief instead of spiritual formation. This conversation doesn't throw stones at therapy. But it does confront what happens when comfort becomes your gospel and language becomes your liturgy. If you've traded formation for slogans, been discipled more by feelings than by truth, or confused Christian language with actual obedience, this conversation isn't just timely—it's necessary.
