John Dwyer — founder of The Institute of Wow, direct response marketing expert, and creator of standout campaigns (including a rare Jerry Seinfeld deal) that help businesses win without competing on price. Key Points: Theming sells: Inspired by Disney, JD uses evergreen, public domain themes (wildlife, outer space, dinosaurs) to make offers irresistible year‑round. Free IP example: Attack of the Dinosaurs collectible promo netted $500K in 4 weeks. Seinfeld home loan campaign: Replaced rate discounts with a free vacation, resulting in billions in extra loans. Incentives over discounts: Low‑cost/high‑perceived‑value rewards take focus off price — must match what the audience wants. Turf farm + premium beer bonus = sold out in days. Loyalty rewards swapped for movie vouchers boosted response. Ultimate incentive — travel: Access to unsold hotel rooms sold as bulk vouchers (~$48 special). Works for big‑ticket and demo offers; Harley dealers see ~3.5 sales per 10 test rides. Same cost as a 10% discount, far more pulling power. Doesn't work for every sector (e.g., funerals). JD's Principles: Don't discount — differentiate with irresistible offers. Match incentive to customer desires, not product features. Use free IP themes to avoid licensing costs. Focus on high perceived value / low actual cost. Connect with John: vacationsincentive.com (email for 2‑for‑1 podcast listener deal) Email: john@theinstituteofwow.com

What Seinfeld Taught Me about Iterative and Incremental - Mike CohnAgile is both an iterative and incremental process. I've taught this in classes for 25 years. Yet I've never felt like I had the right way to explain how they both differ and relate.Until now.I recently watched the documentary “Comedian,” about Jerry Seinfeld deciding to return to standup comedy after ending his long-running hit television series.The film shows Seinfeld developing a completely new act. He couldn't rely on jokes from his standup routines from a decade earlier.He begins by performing for just a few minutes at small comedy clubs. After each performance he refines the wording, sequence, and pacing of his jokes. He's iterating over each joke.As he finds material that works, he adds time to his show. His performance goes from five minutes to ten. He is incrementally building his show. He continues adding increments (new jokes) until he achieves his goal of more than an hour of new material.Refining each joke is iterating. Adding jokes bit by bit until he has a full show is incremental.This example also shows why iterating and incremental aren't very good on their own. Imagine a comedian who only iterates over existing material but never adds new material. Or one who keeps adding new jokes but never iterates to ensure each is funny.Another thing the “Comedian” movie teaches is the value of experimenting. When Seinfeld (and another comedian profiled in the film) perform, their shows contain a mix of material they know will get laughs and some new jokes they're trying out.Experimenting is equally important in product development. Teams can experiment with their process or the product—by delivering small, partial features to confirm their value before going all-in.I knew agile teams need to be iterative and incremental, but this documentary taught me comedians need to also if they want to succeed at comedy,How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Send us a textThis week's moving picture was selected by guest host (and Season 15's Squib Games curator/raison d'être) Jack, canonically a Ted Kaczynski stan, as confirmed by his pick CLEARCUT (1991). And so the pod returns to Canada (a.k.a. America's sombrero) and Canadian lore with another émigré director's first North America feature-length film (see Hard Targét ep from two weeks ago for our prior), this time with a story originally told in the Canadian novelist M. T. Kelly's A Dream Like Mine about Canadian First Nations people fighting to maintain the sanctity of their land against industry and classified in the movie's hard media BluRay release as “folk horror” by Sevrin in its 15-disc All the Haunts Be Ours collection. Cold War Polish-famous director Ryszard Bugajski was chosen for his political provocateur Polish pictures (after a stint directing Canadian TV) and modifies the 1987 novel, moving it from mercury poisoning and mining to the timber industry after the recent Oka standoff (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oka_Crisis) and hence finding a title, which at least one host this ep finds oxymoronic. Bugajski also credits himself with cutting a lot of the dialogue from the screenplay to let the film visually provide exposition. The film stars Graham Greene--which is why host Ryan's grandfather saw the limited release film that by the 2000's had only two extant prints (one copy was about to be disposed and why the transfer on the BluRay and streaming has 35mm film's cue marks, a.k.a. cigarette burns)--as a trickster spirit or actual human person (depending on whether lead actor or director was asked) who challenges the film's White protagonist and lawyer played by Ron Lea who's failed to protect the land against mill owner Bud Rickets played by Battlestar Galactica's (the newer, good one) own Michael Hogan (not to be confused with Jack Nance who concurrently white haired and sporting a moustache by a river was at this time portraying Pete in Twin Peaks, you know, “Wrapped in plastic.” and “There was a fish in the perculator.”). Greene's Arthur (no last name like Cher or Prince) as either/both/neither water spirit or direct-action First Nations radical coerces the lawyer to kidnap the mill owner, which leads to a few deaths and some skin peeled off Rickets' leg. The film is lensed by François Protat, who'd shot Weekend and Bernie's two years prior for First Blood director (and Canadian for sneeze sound effect) Ted Kotcheff. The entire folk horror or eco terror or supernatural revenge or suspense film resolves with an expected but undelivered whip pan to Rod Serling smoking a cigarette whilst giving an enigmatic, summative moral of events witnessed. This ep goes big on host Tall Ken trivia as he finds his notepad; reveals his chainsaw approach to episode editing; sees in Greene's jeans and sneakers attire the spirit of Jerry Seinfeld (contemporaneous character, rather than actor or comedian or present-day Netflix movie director); and explains how he identifies people and sizes them up. Additionally, Ryan, Thomas, and Jack have sane things to say.

We discussed NFL teams with the worst Super Bowl odds, including the Jets and Giants at 75-to-1 for their conference. Boomer believes a last-place team often goes to first in their division, possibly the Bears with Ben Johnson. We emphasized the importance of a dynamic quarterback like Josh Allen. The Jets and Giants' over/under for wins is 5 ½. Justin Fields faces a new offense, requiring a learning curve. Boomer predicts the Giants will win at least 6 games, expecting big things from their defense. Jerry gave an update after we talked about our Pebble Beach trip. The Yankees lost to the Rangers with key home runs given up by Devin Williams and Jake Bird. The Mets also lost to the Guardians due to Brett Baty's throwing error. Steve Somers had Jerry Seinfeld on his podcast and is releasing a book. The Kraken mascot was charged by a bear while fishing in Alaska. We concluded the hour discussing the documentary ‘Grizzly Man' and a caller's unsuccessful attempt to use bear spray on a goose.
Hour 1 The Mets and Yankees had another frustrating night with losses. Boomer and Gio discussed the Mets' inconsistent performance, comparing them to the Knicks. Aaron Judge returns to the Yankees lineup as a DH, keeping Giancarlo Stanton out. Jerry's update included Yankees' loss to Texas, with key homers from Devin Williams and Josh Young. Max Fried struggled, and Brett Baty made a crucial error for the Mets. Aaron Glenn discussed game week prep. Jerry played a clip of "Dan in Warwick" asking about the NY and SF Giants, followed by a video of Eli Manning meeting the SF Giants and Mike Francesa, which Sal then tried to replicate with Dan in Warwick, but it was a dud. Hour 2 Joe Flacco is the Browns' new starting QB, with five QBs on the roster. The Giants have four QBs, with Russell Wilson clearly the starter; we discussed our interview with him at Giants camp, where Gio thought he was flattering Boomer. Dexter Lawrence requested only waist-up photos. We also discussed household robots. A caller noted our podcast is labeled 'explicit'. Jerry's update covered the Mets' loss to the Guardians despite Pete Alonso's HR and 4 RBIs, and Brett Bady's error. Kyle Schwarber hit his 40th HR. The Yankees lost to Texas with Pederson and Josh Young homering. Max Fried felt he didn't help his team enough. Cam Ward likes to relax at home. Mike McDaniel joked, "we're another day closer to death." In the final segment, a caller wanted Mike Francesa to replace Aaron Boone, leading Gio to imagine Francesa making a pitching change. Hour 3 We discussed NFL teams with the worst Super Bowl odds, including the Jets and Giants at 75-to-1 for their conference. Boomer noted a team often goes from last to first in their division, citing the Bears with Ben Johnson as a possibility. We emphasized the importance of a dynamic quarterback like Josh Allen for the Bills. The Jets and Giants' over/under for wins is 5 ½. Justin Fields faces a new offense, requiring a learning curve. Boomer predicts the Giants will win at least 6 games, expecting a strong defensive performance. Jerry provided an update after we talked about our Pebble Beach trip. The Yankees lost to Texas, with Devin Williams giving up a tying HR and Jake Bird the winning HR. The Mets lost to the Guardians due to Brett Baty's throwing error on a bunt. Steve Somers had Jerry Seinfeld on his podcast and is releasing a book. The Kraken mascot was charged by a bear while fishing in Alaska in full costume. The final segment covered the documentary 'Grizzly Man' and a caller's ineffective use of bear spray on a goose. Hour 4 Bear encounters in the woods were discussed, including calls from park rangers and a story about wiener dogs. Jerry shared bear attack sounds. The Yankees lost to the Rangers (Williams and Bird gave up homers) and the Mets to Cleveland (Baty's throwing error). Shedeur Sanders emphasized valuable reps and told his dad not to attend Browns practice. Saquon Barkley rehashed old material on Pardon My Take. The Moment of The Day featured Eddie Scozzare introducing himself to a grizzly bear. The final segment covered the Jets and Aaron Glenn having competitive hitting in practice, the expectation of starters playing in pre-season (especially Justin Fields), the debut of Hard Knocks with the Buffalo Bills, and whether Boomer and John Randle made up.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Your Best Ideas Come When You Stop Trying So Hard July 31, 2025 | Episode 5149 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott takes you behind the scenes of his Face Your Passion Inner Circle call in this spontaneous, unscripted episode. Fresh off a powerful coaching session, he shares game-changing insights about treating exercise like your job, "pre-selling" your time for what matters, and why brainstorming isn't what you think it is. This isn't your typical structured podcast—it's raw coaching wisdom that'll shift how you think about productivity, focus, and getting what you want in life. Sometimes the best insights come when you least expect them. Featured Story Scott opens up about his "coaching call about nothing"—a weekly session where nobody knows what'll happen, but everyone gets exactly what they need. Inspired by Jerry Seinfeld's approach, this unstructured format creates space for breakthrough moments. The magic happens when you show up without a predetermined agenda and let authentic connection and spontaneous wisdom flow. It's proof that sometimes the most powerful results come from embracing the unexpected rather than forcing a plan. Important Points Exercise becomes non-negotiable when you treat it like your job—if you know you're getting paid, you'll show up and do the work. "Pre-selling your time" means buying back hours for yourself at your hourly rate, making you serious about protecting that space for what matters most. Brainstorming is unfocused time for capturing ideas throughout the day, while organization is focused energy work that requires your full attention and higher energy levels. Memorable Quotes "You don't even know what you're gonna get out of it today, but you know you want to show up because every time you do, you get exactly what you needed that day." "Point yourself in the right direction. Do the things you know you're supposed to be doing and let things happen." "The more you put the time in, the more you realize the stuff was going to happen anyway. Why didn't I do that sooner?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Schedule exercise like a job commitment—treat it as paid time that you must show up for, no matter what. Calculate your hourly rate and "buy back" time for yourself by blocking calendar space, then protect that investment like you would any business expense. Capture brainstorming ideas throughout your day during unfocused activities, then use high-energy focused time to organize and connect those ideas on paper.

Bill Maher and YouTube star Brian Tyler Cohen dive into the chaos of modern politics in a freewheeling conversation covering everything from wrestling and weed to identity politics and the Iran deal. They debate whether Democrats are too focused on checking boxes to win elections, break down Trump's psychological warfare, and label one rising Democratic star “a walking campaign ad for Republicans." Stick around for a wild analogy that somehow combines wrestling, lactose intolerance, and socialism.

Actor and comedian Darrell Hammond joins Adam in studio to talk about his legendary run on Saturday Night Live and what it was like taking over for the iconic Don Pardo as the show's announcer. He reflects on the surreal experience of watching old sketches of himself, including a memorable one where he portrayed Bill Clinton on the phone with Saddam Hussein and Monica Lewinsky. He opens up about the challenges he faced during his time on SNL, and a harrowing story about getting arrested in the Bahamas and being left behind by a cruise ship. In the news, Mayhem and Adam react to Hunter Biden's explosive new interview where he claims President Biden took Ambien before the 2024 debate and defends his controversial painting sales. They also weigh in on Donald Trump's demand for the Washington Commanders to revert to their former team name, as well as Bill Cosby's shocking comments comparing Malcolm-Jamal Warner's death to the murder of his own son.Writer and comedy veteran Andy Cowan stops by to share stories from his time writing for Seinfeld and pitching ideas to Larry David. Adam reflects on how doing the opposite of his mother's advice led him to success, and he asks Andy whether Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David were playing exaggerated versions of themselves or just being authentic. Andy brings in a clip from The Merv Griffin Show, where he performed a spot-on Frank Sinatra impression, prompting a nostalgic discussion about Merv's legendary career. Adam closes the show by ranting about why it is so important to use a coaster on the podcast table.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH DARRELL HAMMOND:TOUR DATE:Comedy Works Denver - South at the Landmark - Friday (7/25) - Sunday(7/27)ONE MAN SHOW: CRAY - available on AudibleINSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @darrellchammondFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com FOR MORE WITH ANDY COWAN:PODCAST: ‘The Neurotic Vaccine with Andy Cowan and Dr. Scott Kopoian'WEBSITE: AndyCowan.netTWITTER: @AndyGCowanThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlinetry.drinkbrez.com/CAROLLA/ and use code CAROLLA for a $5 credit and free shipping on your first orderoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvLIVE SHOWS: August 6 - Reno, NVAugust 7 - Portland, ORSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
