Hi Neighbor, Is it possible to experience hope and healing after a tragic decision? Today's episode features an incredible story of faith, healing, and advocacy for life. Joining me is my neighbor from North Texas, Jeff Bradford. Jeff serves as president of Human Coalition, one of the largest Pro-Life organizations in America.  He and his wife, Tricia, have personally experienced the trauma of aborting their first child in 1992, but have found strength in each other and God.  Jeff's message is clear: Understanding life issues requires empathy, wisdom, and an open mind. We must recognize the deep suffering of women impacted by abortion. It's important to talk about the issue of life in winsome and graceful ways. Whether we're encouraging women facing crisis pregnancies to either parent their child or consider adoption, let's commit to providing them the support they need. Hope and healing are on the way.

For years, Jeff and Tricia Bradford kept their abortion a secret from their friends and church community.  “We hid our story, because of the deep shame and regret that we had,” Jeff Bradford says.  The couple was engaged when Tricia, then 20, learned she was pregnant. "Fear didn't waste a second coming into that conversation and shame," she said. "And so, we just immediately thought, ‘What are we going to do?'" The couple reached out to a family member and received some “terrible advice,” the husband says, adding that a few days later, he and his wife “ended up at Planned Parenthood, and we took the life of our first daughter, and we didn't talk about it for 17 years.”  Even being active members in their church, the couple says, they “sat in the pew silent” because no one in their community talked about the issue of life or abortion. But counseling and a connection with two pro-life leaders led the couple down a road that changed their lives. Today, Jeff Bradford serves as president of Human Coalition, a pro-life organization that aims to help women choose life, and the couple have four children. Now, 32 years after aborting their first baby, the Bradfords are sharing their story in their new book, “Beauty from Ashes: A Christian Couple's Journey From Abortion to Redemption.”  The couple joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share their story and encourage churches across the country to be intentional about providing care for women who have had abortions.  Enjoy the show!

The overturning of Roe v. Wade sent the fight for life into a new chapter. Although a monumental win for life, the work has just begun. Host Joseph Backholm is joined by Jeff Bradford, Human Coalition's president. Having a primarily online presence, Human Coalition's goal is to reach women searching for abortions and offer guidance, a solution, and hope. Joseph and Jeff dive into how the abortion industry has changed over the years, the lie that women need abortion to be happy, and what type of information can organizations provide to help a mother choose life.

Basic baby needs, like diapers, are becoming difficult to come by and the cost of child care is making the extra help seem merely unattainable for parents. It's no secret that economic concerns are one of the most common reasons women opt for an abortion. Human Coalition has found that of the women they serve, 76% would prefer to parent if their circumstances were different. Recognizing this, Human Coalition works to provide women with an understanding of their options and help fill gaps as needed, like helping women apply for child care assistance.https://www.humancoalition.org/bios/jeff-bradford/ https://hucoaction.org/Jeff Bradford serves as President of Human Coalition, where he channels his experience as a seasoned business leader to initiate and cultivate relationships with major and principal donors.

He brings a breadth of knowledge about leadership development and sales cycle management. Most recently, Jeff was a managing partner of CGO Partners, a consulting firm focused on corporate growth. After learning about Human Coalition (HuCo) in 2010, Jeff was so moved by how the organization verifiably saves preborn children from abortion, he began volunteering.

Planned Parenthood's new annual report shows its priorities -- more government funding, a high number of abortions, and fewer health services. In contrast, Human Coalition is the only major pro-life group performing both advocacy and care for women. They provide a range of services for pregnant women -- connecting them to medical care, counseling, financial assistance, and public programs.

“Position the customer's ‘gain' as the direct object of the sentence,” Flint McGlaughlin taught in Headline Examples: 3 ways to load your predicate with value (https://meclabs.com/course/sessions/headline-examples/).I thought of this lesson when I heard a lesson from this episode's guest – “charge what it is worth, not what it costs.”You can only charge what it is worth if the customer perceives that value. To help them perceive the value, your messaging must emphasize the customer's gain.So I asked our guest about this, specifically in regards to his story about using a celebrity endorser for a B2B event.You can hear the answer to that question, along with many more lesson-filled stories, from Jeff Bradford, President, Dalton Nashville (https://daltonagency.com/), on this episode of the How I Made It In Marketing podcast.Dalton is a $12 million agency that was founded in 1989 and has 100 employees.Bradford is the only seven-time winner of the Nashville Business Journal's Most Admired CEO Award.

In America, since 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in Roe v. Wade, our's has been one of sterilized death—not of combatants on the battlefield but of babies in the medical confines of hospitals and clinics . . . and in the intimacy of the womb.Abortion is a stain on America. And the God who gives life will not hold us guiltless. Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just and that His justice cannot sleep forever.”We tremble as well.We are Human Coalition—a collective of individuals bound together in answer to a common call: to do all we can to remove the stain of abortion from America. We are change agents—not simply because we are against abortion but because we are for life. We are for preborn babies who need to be protected in the womb; for women who should not have to choose the life of their baby for a fulfilling life; for families whose members should flourish in an environment of value and love; for mothers and fathers who deserve a chance at being mothers and fathers; and for society that needs all its children to live and thrive if it is to be called “civilized.”https://www.humancoalition.org

Jeff Bradford retired from the military, sold everything he has, and then traveled the world with a camera to learn more about beer, wine, and spirits. Sound like he's living the life? Jeff thinks so, but this overnight success didn't just happen exactly overnight. Jeff and Remso discuss what led him to become a full-time content creator, how the military prepared him for the life he lives today, and how he wants to change the narrative in terms of how we view the drinks we love.

Today’s topic is Technology and Appraisers and the changes that came from this past year with Jeff Bradford, Owner of Bradford Technologies and Joan Trice, Founder of Allterra Group, LLC. We sat down with Jeff and Joan to discuss the technological impacts of this past year, especially due to the pandemic, and why appraisers should have a focus on them in 2021. What were some of the new technologies being put into use since the pandemic? What changes for technology are on the horizon? How can appraisers take advantage of this? These questions and much more will be answered between Jeff and Joan as they dive into this ever-changing subject. Have any comments or would you like to submit content of your own?

Alcohol – every place you go has this beverage in common, yet the liquids vary drastically from culture to culture. Jeff and Colby sit down with Jeff Bradford of Beer, Wine and Spirits. We learn about JB’s journey from the military to hosting a YouTube channel where he travels the world telling the stories of brewers, winemakers, and distillers. Like everyone in the industry, Jeff had to pivot during COVID to figure out how to continue to tell the stories of the industry without the ability to travel internationally. He talks about a couple of his upcoming episodes – Texas whiskey and sustainable, organic wine and how he finds the balance between nerding out over the technicalities involved in the processes and the storytelling and cultures behind them. Follow along with Jeff on his YouTube channel – Beer, Wine and Spirits.

Have you ever fantasized about selling everything you own and traveling the world to learn their local beverage culture! My guest Jeff Bradford did just that! He is basically the Anthony Bourdain of alcohol and his story is amazing. He has over 52,000 subscribers and literally millions of views. In this short candid interview he gives the scoop on what it is like behind the scenes and the dark times he faced finding his success!   Please Subscribe, Review, Like, and Comment!

Good writing is not complicated. As one guest notes, “it’s about injecting personality, making it engage and entertaining for your audience. But most importantly, it's about structure. … How is one paragraph leading to the next, how are they connected? The worst kind of writing, and we all see it all the time, is just rambling. It's not at all clear. People get lost and the idea gets lost.”   This is the second part of our two-episode conversation about the value of effective business writing.   In this episode, Jeff Bradford, Laura Brown, and Ryan Craig join us again to discuss:   How writing and critical thinking go hand-in-hand—and why practice makes perfect.   Why employers are often reluctant to teach remedial writing skills.   The characteristics of good writing: storytelling, personality, metaphors, and symbols.   Websites and other hacks that professionals can use to improve the quality of their writing.   Jeff Bradford leads a PR and advertising agency, The Bradford Group.

As one of our guests asserts, “it's very, very difficult to get to the top in any organization without being able to communicate in writing.”   But how to become a better writer?

Listen to Part 2 of The Daily Drive podcast with Jeff Bradford, the CEO of Bradford Group. An excerpt from: bradfordgroup.com In 2000, Jeff Bradford and Gina Gallup opened the Bradford Group, a marketing agency designed to do two things: 1) combine traditional and digital marketing tactics, and 2) approach marketing through public relations instead of advertising. Here's how we put it in our original business plan: “Unlike typical web shops or Internet boutiques, which are primarily programming/design firms, the Bradford Group integrates these technical skills with marketing planning – so that new media are used effectively to meet client objectives. Unlike traditional advertising and PR agencies, we place equal emphasis on traditional and new media – and are equally proficient in both.” This combination of traditional and digital marketing was one of two legs of our brand of marketing. The other was approaching marketing through the lens of public relations, instead of advertising.

In this interview, we sit down with Jeff Bradford, a retired U.S. Army soldier, and discussed how he sold everything he had after 20 years of service in the military, and pursued his desire of starting a YouTube channel and learning the art of beer, wine and spirits. Jeff's story on how he transitioned from life in the military to being the host of Beer, Wine and Spirits is a fascinating one, and we would love to hear your thoughts on this interview!

What You'll Hear:  Jeff was raised in a Christian home but fell away from the Lord during his college years He was successful in business and consulting Through marriage counseling, he found out he and his wife never healed or dealt with the abortion they had 25 years earlier He started an organization with other men, now called Human Coalition, to make abortion unthinkable Human Coalition is unique in it's approach and its results Intro Jeff is a seasoned business leader with almost 20 years of experience in owning and operating businesses. He has served a variety of industries including high tech, software, manufacturing, retail, and non-profit. His core areas of competencies include startups, marketing, lead generation, relationship management, leadership, and change management. After learning about Human Coalition in 2010, he was so moved by how the organization verifiably saves unborn children from abortion that he began volunteering. Jeff eventually left the business world to work with Human Coalition full time. As one of the first staffers to join Human Coalition, his compelling story reminds us that men whose wives and girlfriends have abortions are often left to grieve the loss of their children alone. Jeff graduated from the University of Texas (Austin) with a Bachelors of Science in Finance. He and his wife Tricia have four children. Q&A* When and How Did You Become a Christian? I was raised in a Christian home and was baptized.  I fell away from the Lord in my college years.  After I got married and involved in a church did I serve the Lord and learn what it meant to be a Christian man.  Tell Us About Your Career I went to the Univ of Texas-Austin, got a finance degree and worked for IBM.  I then left that to be a business owner for 17 years for Cross Media.  I sold that business in 2010 and started doing consulting work. I worked with small to medium sized businesses to help them to go from their heart to their head.  Through that business I met Brian Fisher, who was the COO of a large communication company in Dallas. Walk Us Through Your Testimony I was the lay pastor at a church that ended up splitting up after going through a difficult time.  My wife and I decided to get some Christian counseling after that experience for a tune-up for our marriage. My wife began to cry uncontrollably.  I was perplexed what was behind these tears.  What was behind those tears was a decision we had made nearly 25 years ago. We were engaged and got pregnant.  I went to my father and out of his ignorance he said this wasn't the way to start our marriage.  We ended up at Planned Parenthood and took the life of our first child. We didn't talk about it for 17 years. That same week we were in counseling Brian Fisher gave me his business card and God dropped the scales from my eyes about what abortion really was. We thought it was the unforgivable sin.  Our pastor didn't talk about it. We didn't talk about it.  Women are created to give life and as men we're supposed to the knight in shining armor to protect her.  I was the opposite of the courageous man. That was the beginning of my awakening.  It started with my own family and my own heart, at a very personal level and even beyond at a national level and as a church.  We began seeking healing.  It was really tough.  Sometimes we don't really want to deal with our wounds, but God in His grace and mercy allows to deal with them.  He then allows others to be rescued from our testimony.   It was then I began to fight for life. Did You Have Trouble Being Bold Advocating for Life Due to Any Guilt You Had? For 17 years I was afraid to tell anyone.  No-one talked about it.  Brian really encouraged me that it was my testimony that was going to save lives.  In the beginning I didn't really see the benefit of telling oth...

“We didn’t talk about it for 17 years.” Jeff Bradford and his wife discover God’s patience and mercy.
