Podcasts about Jigsaw

When Yasmin Green joined Google almost two decades ago, she knew she wanted to focus on the complex problems facing humanity in a technological world – from violent extremism to political censorship. As the CEO of Jigsaw, a unit within Google that’s dedicated to understanding global challenges and applying technological solutions, she’s been able to do just that. Jigsaw’s most recent project took Green and her team to Bowling Green, Kentucky to figure out how they could use AI to improve a civic cornerstone: the town hall. Green sits down with Oz to talk about the project, What Could BG Be?, and what the role of Jigsaw is in today’s rapidly shifting, revenue-oriented tech landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 67 - Murdock and Marvel: 2004 Part 2 2004 was a relatively quiet year in comics, but there were some critical developments that made waves into the future.  Big movies, heroes back from the dead, and some important new faces! This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2004.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #54-66, Daredevil: Father #1, Daredevil 2099 #1, Punisher #35-37, Exiles #39 and #43, Spider-Man Unlimited #1, Elektra #35, Marvel 1602 #8, Secret War #2-3, Powerless #1-5, Ultimate Elektra #1-3  Writing: David Mack (#54-55), Brian Michael Bendis (#56-66)  Pencils: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  Inks: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  The year begins late in 2003, as we noted two weeks ago with our 2003 discussion, with the return of David Mack to writing and art and Maya Lopez in the book itself. She's returned to New York and is looking to reconnect with Daredevil. After he shares he's now with someone else, she instead visits with a chief her father knew and goes on a vision quest. There, with the help of a man shaped in the form of a wolverine, helps her understand a story her father used to tell her and helps her realize who she is. She goes back to Daredevil and bids him goodbye with a kiss.  From there, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev return with a story called The King of Hell's Kitchen. We learn it's been a year since the confrontation between Kingpin and Daredevil and according to Ben Urich – Daredevil has been very busy cleaning up the kitchen while also taking some flack about his methods from other superheroes.   His latest dealings have been against the Yakuza and after a large battle Daredevil's gone missing. Milla Donovan reached out to Urich to find him and during their discussion we learned that 4 months ago she and Murdock got married. Urich finds Murdock and reunited the married couple – but not before suggesting the events of the last year are all his way coping with the death of Karen Page. With a little help from some super powered friends, Daredevil puts a stop to the Yakuza plot to take over Hell's Kitchen. Milla confronts Matt about his problems over the death of Karen Page and before leaving her husband.  Next we get storyline featuring another of Matt's love interests, the Black Widow, in a story called “The Widow”. Black Widow gets “called in” be SHIELD and realizing it's a trap – instead goes to visit Matt Murdock in New York hoping she can hide in plain sight. The pair take down Jigsaw and upon making bail – he goes back to Murdock asking permission to run crime through Hell's kitchen (since he's the new Kingpin). Matt isn't amused.  Turns out the hiding in plain sight didn't work as the two get shot at by a hired assassin while having lunch. The pair go after the assassin and after that Natasha finally shares the reason for her visit. Though the conversation is cut short as Jigsaw and his men have entered Murdock's home and Matt can't fight them as daredevil and revealing his lie. In the end, we learn a Bulgarian minister and Natasha's ex-husband were behind the ordeal and Matt begrudgingly gives Milla the annulment to their marriage.  In November, we get a HUGE 40th Anniversary Special issue. This story backtracks over the 1 year time period that Matt Murdock was outed as Daredevil that Ben Urich told us about during the King of Hell's Kitchen story earlier this year. To do so, the Bendis and Maleev called on a host of other artists to tell the story. This seems like the perfect book for this week's spotlight.  There is one more book this year, But it starts another storyline – so we'll save that for our 2005 discussion.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #65 November 2004 “The Universe” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Reading Marvel is great, but when you see Jean Grey die for the second time, Marvel has told you its story, and its time to start looking into other publishers.

The Israeli government's push to transform the media landscape has been described by critics as a “hostile takeover” that poses a threat to press freedom. The Global Jigsaw takes a look at what people in Israel see about the war in Gaza on their TV screens. We examine the methods and the motives behind the prime minister's media squeeze, and ask what this means for the country priding itself on being "the only democracy" in the Middle East.

When I was growing up, school holidays weren't packed with organized activities. Sometimes, to relieve the boredom of a rainy day, I would tackle a jigsaw – I remember one particularly challenging 1000-piece puzzle which, when completed, promised to reveal a charming picture of Dutch skaters on a frozen lake.

Send us a textHave you ever tried to grow your social media following legitimately without resorting to bots or buying fake followers? I'm dropping some real knowledge today with my "hand-to-hand combat" method for Instagram growth – a simple strategy that involves following 50 people daily from legitimate accounts in your niche, letting it sit for a few days, then using data comparison to strategically unfollow those who didn't follow you back. This technique builds authentic engagement while keeping your account in good standing.My cinematic journey took me to Arizona Mills to see "Sinners" in 70mm IMAX format, enduring those old-school, straight-backed theater seats that reminded me of midnight premieres from years past. The experience was completely worth the back pain! I also caught "Final Destination: Bloodlines" and despite my skepticism about that 94% Rotten Tomatoes score (which felt like a payoff!), the storyline was solid even if the acting made me grimace.The most surprising development in my life? Picking up my first book since dropping out of school. Starting with "Good Morning Beautiful" by Daines L. Reed on a recommendation from a Barnes & Noble employee, I discovered my imagination could actually visualize what I was reading. Now I'm hooked, reading "Molly the Maid" and ordering Stephen King's "Later" – though my frugal decision to buy used might mean that book never arrives! Every morning, Winston (my dog) and I have a routine where I read aloud while he gazes out the window. It's a peaceful ritual that's opened up a whole new world for this formerly book-averse guy.Working in nightlife promotion for over a decade has kept me surrounded by 21-25 year olds, which explains why being called "Unk" feels like a Jigsaw trap moment. It's the brutal reality of aging, but at least my job has prevented the typical midlife crisis – no sports cars or motorcycles needed when you're still in the mix.

Sharpen your puzzle skills and grab your art supplies, because this week on THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST, we're tackling JIGSAW (2002)—no, not that one. This isn't some sadistic game of survival with creepy dolls on tricycles. This is an ultra-low-budget slasher about an art class that bites off way more than it can chew when they're tasked with assembling a “jigsaw man” for their final project. Bad idea? Absolutely. But it gets worse. Once Frankenstein's discount cousin is complete, he decides to get creative…with murder. Heads roll (literally), the body count rises, and the acting is as questionable as the script, but does JIGSAW deserve a spot in the horror junkyard, or is it a weird little gem worth piecing together? We're diving in with our usual dose of blood, sarcasm, and dark humor to find out.

We assess the damage to independent journalism globally by cuts to USAGM and USAID, described as “the chainsaw approach” of the Trump administration. The defunding of Voice of America, RFE/RL (Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) and its multiple language services has been decried as “a gift to dictators”. Although these cuts are being disputed in court, they could have long-lasting implications for audiences around the world. Can the harm be undone?Producer: Kriszta Satori Presenter: Krassi Twigg Contributors: Pascal Fletcher, Samia Hosny, Margaryta Maliukova, Andrey Vladov, Tom Lam, Sarbas Nazari, Moses Rono

This week on The Jigsaw, Bryan breaks down his experience at the GNX Tour, while he and Josh mourn the Grizzlies and Lakers getting bounced from the playoffs. But the real heat is in the Living Room, where the guys dive into Sinners, Ryan Coogler's newest film starring Michael B. Jordan. With vampires as culture vultures, Black trauma as currency, and faith caught in the middle, the movie opens up a powerful conversation on cultural appropriation, the danger of being too welcoming, and the spiritual labor Black women carry.   From the blues to the church, from gatekeeping to discernment — this one is layered. Tap in, laugh hard, think deep, and as always, find the pieces and figure it out.   Bless Up:     Brwn Stock - Erica Chisolm   Check them out online at brwnstock.com or on IG @brwnstock   Song of the Week: Girl - The Internet, Girl - Destiny's Child      Tap in with your favorite Casanegros by writing them or following them on social media:   Email: askthejigsaw@gmail.com   Instagram: @thejigsawpodcast | @iamjoshrodgers | @iambryanhaire

In this episode of Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan dive into the gritty and underseen British noir Jigsaw (1962), directed by Val Guest. This procedural thriller follows a meticulous police investigation unraveling a disturbing murder in a seaside town. The hosts explore the film's unique documentary-style approach, its slow-burn tension, and how it stands out among early '60s crime films. With its realistic portrayal of police work and moody atmosphere, Jigsaw is a hidden gem worth pulling from the evidence locker.

Will the call for the PKK to disarm end in a new era of peace for the Kurds, or is this just another turn in a tortured history? In February, Abdullah Ocalan, the imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party, known as the PKK, released a jaw-dropping written message to his followers from his jail cell, calling for the group to lay down arms and disband. In this series we explore the Kurdish issue - the persecution, the resistance and their attempts to form a state. We ask what does the future hold for one of the largest stateless ethnic groups in the world scattered across Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran.

The most important thing in the universe is to chill and hang and vibe. If humanity is chilling then the utopian society must inevitably follow. But the man hates to see you chilling.

Michael Byrne was 36, a former professional jockey with over 100 winners, including at Cheltenham and Aintree. He rode in the 2014 Grand National and worked in racing until his passing. Saturday, May 3rd, will mark the first anniversary of Michael Byrne's passing with a mountain challenge in his memory — climbing Galtee Mór, Slievenamon, and the Devil's Bit in one day. The funds raised will go to Jigsaw, supporting youth mental health, and C-SAW in Clonmel, who help those affected by suicide. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by brother of late Michael, David Byrne. Photo(C): https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-hike-for-mike

It's time for peak The Punsiher everyone. In 2008 under the Marvel Knights brand Lionsgate attempted another Punisher rebooted with Ray Stevenson stepping into the role of Frank Castle. It wasn't recieved well at the time nor did it perform well at the box office despite, in hindsight, it being an incredible fun and gory time at the movies. Director Lexi Alexander managed to craft what feels like the truest on screen adaptation of the character we've ever seen and even manages to include the likes of Jigsaw, with a suitably unhinged performance from Dominic West.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams takes listeners on a dynamic exploration of Dealer Synergy's innovative outsourced BDC operations situated in Belize!  "Sales is not a one-size-fits-all type of thing... The more creative you can get, the more sales you can do." - LA Williams Recorded LIVE, Williams spells out the operational efficiencies and strategic advantages of leveraging an international call center—pointing out cost savings, quality customer service delivery, and the critical training methodologies that contribute to enhanced dealership success. "Geography does not have to be a challenge anymore. We can employ folks from anywhere in the world!" - LA Williams LA offers a behind-the-scenes insight into how a 2,000-person call center functions, proving that geographic distance does not impede quality customer service or dealership results. Utilizing a Belize-based team trained with Dealer Synergy's advanced methodologies, sales operations are not only streamlined but amplified. By demolishing traditional sales models, Williams articulates how automotive dealerships can thrive by adapting to globalized business strategies, therefore keeping showrooms thriving and customer satisfaction at its peak!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Cost Efficiency and Scalability: Outsourcing BDCs to regions like Belize significantly reduces overhead costs versus U.S.-based operations, making it economically advantageous for dealers to expand their reach. ✅ Training and Quality Assurance: Dealer Synergy's comprehensive training ensures that agents, regardless of location, provide professional, high-quality customer service that matches or surpasses in-house teams. ✅ Technological Integration and Flexibility: Utilizing platforms like Zoom for meetings and sales allows sales teams to operate seamlessly from anywhere, thus expanding the scope and efficiency of dealerships. ✅ Cultural Adaptability: Belize's predominantly English-speaking population allows for seamless communication with the U.S. market, dispelling concerns over language barriers. ✅ Future of Automotive Sales: Innovative practices are setting a new standard for the industry's future, emphasizing the importance of a global operational perspective and advanced technological integration for sustained success.     About LA Williams LA Williams is the Vice President of Dealer Synergy. He has 15+ years of automotive sales experience and has made it his mission to help, educate and level up anyone he comes in contact with. LA once started as a frontline analyst for the organization, but quickly worked his way through the ranks to most recently landing him his current role of Vice President and an official company partner. Although LA holds an executive position with Dealer Synergy, he is completely “hands-on” with the Dealer Synergy family of programs. LA is the preeminent subject master on “Phone Sales” in the Automotive Sales Industry and has earned the nickname and title of “The Blind Phone Master”. LA has been blind for 35+ years and has focused his energy on the art of sound, tone, and inflection. With his inability to see and only hear, he can solely judge a person's phone abilities and verbal tools based on what they say and how they say it. This makes him the perfect coach and phone sales expert on planet Earth. LA has trained thousands of Automotive Sales professionals, Internet / BDC professionals, Sales Managers, General Managers and Dealer Principals on how to dominate the phones with his “The Blind Phone Master's Phone Sales Mastery” strategies.

He was even the voice for Jigsaw in 4 of the SAW movies! LA has taken his music producer, audio, and voice talent to bring a strong form of “entertrainment” to the industry and has blessed us with many motivating and fun remix tracks, applicable to the automotive sales industry.     Exploring the Future of Automotive Business Development Centers: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Engage Automotive Success with Global Collaboration Understanding the potential of global call centers for automotive dealerships, optimizing skills across borders, and leveraging technology for enhanced business development are key factors in driving dealership profits. Dive into insights shared by LA Williams from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, as he explores these dynamics live from Belize. Key Takeaways: Leveraging global call centers can significantly enhance dealership efficiency while reducing costs. Developing advanced communication skills and empathy is crucial for success in sales. Utilizing technology like Zoom transforms remote selling into a profound customer experience. The Economic Edge of Global Call Centers In the realm of automotive sales, maximizing efficiency while minimizing costs is the golden ticket to success. During the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams, known as the Blind Phone Master, emphasized the cost-efficiency of operating global call centers, particularly in regions like Belize. He states, "When you think about it, the cost-effectiveness… to be real with you, like in California alone, I think the minimum wage is like $20 an hour… it's no longer productive to run a call center.” This essential strategy allows dealerships to harness top-tier talent at a fraction of the cost. Williams' discussion reflects a broader trend in leveraging international call centers to accommodate fluctuating economic landscapes, offering dealerships a way to stay competitive without compromising service quality. This strategy ensures that even smaller dealerships can compete on a larger scale, effectively leveling the playing field and turning the focus onto the quality of service provided rather than where it originates. Furthermore, the transcript reveals a nuanced understanding of the benefits of these call centers: “So we actually walking into the call center right now… When we got all these people making phone calls, it's going to allow you to be much more profitable.” This statement encapsulates how simply relocating a function can have profound business advantages, facilitating higher profits through reduced operational costs. Cultivating Communication and Empathy in Sales Beyond economics, success hinges on communication and empathy. Williams highlights the importance of having a team adept in these soft skills. Within the podcast, Williams reflects on his Belize-based team's aptitude: "People are just making phone calls… our team here, man, they stay in focus… they also pay so much attention in training." These insights underscore the need for a workforce that is both dedicated and well-trained in communication strategies. In sales, empathy and understanding are paramount, especially in overcoming objections or handling disgruntled customers. Here's how Williams advises on such encounters: "We teach them to be compassionate. We do role plays with them to walk them through those scenarios.” This training in empathy not only improves customer interaction but also builds a stronger connection with potential buyers who may otherwise feel dismissed or undervalued by traditional, automation-heavy methods. Such strategies illustrate the impact of prioritizing customer relations. By integrating empathy as a core selling principle, global call centers can match, or even exceed, the effectiveness of in-house sales staff. This shift allows any dealership, no matter its location, to provide premium customer service. Transforming the Sales Experience through Technology The advancements in technology have dramatically shifted how business is conducted, especially in the automotive industry. Williams touches on numerous ways technology, particularly platforms like Zoom, can elevate customer interactions. He shines light on this by saying, "A salesperson wanted to sell a car to someone… the customer could be anywhere. It doesn't matter. Geography is no longer a challenge." Breakout rooms in Zoom are one example of how technology can simulate traditional car-buying experiences virtually. This allows for a comprehensive customer journey, from viewing vehicle features to virtual test drives, all from the comfort of one's home. As Williams further elaborates: "We'll show some 3Ds, some good old camera footage… Make a person feel like they're actually in the vehicle." Such approaches not only broaden the potential customer base but also enrich the overall buying experience, diminishing geographical and temporal constraints. Utilizing these tools, dealerships can offer an enriched and personalized customer interaction, effectively adapting to the digital age. Adopting these technological enhancements represents more than just staying current; it indicates a forward-thinking, customer-centric mindset that is necessary for thriving in today's competitive market.   The intricacies of running a global operation from a strategic call center – as expounded upon in the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast – outline a new era for the automotive industry. By merging economic efficiency, interpersonal skills, and cutting-edge technology, dealerships are equipped to transcend traditional boundaries and deliver exceptional service worldwide. Every facet of this approach, from cost-effective practices to empathetic customer service, ultimately benefits dealerships by not only extending their reach but also deepening their impact. As described within this thought leadership, dealerships that embrace these strategies can redefine success and elevate their standing in the automotive market.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

Training and skill mastery are paramount, with a focus on cyclical learning and practical application. Engaging in multifaceted sales strategies and maximizing available resources can significantly enhance sales performance.     In the ever-evolving world of automotive sales, clear vision and persistent effort are non-negotiable for those aiming to surpass the mediocrity that ensnares so many. In a candid exchange of ideas, automotive sales experts LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley unravel the secrets to transcending average sales performance, echoing the fundamental truth: selling cars isn't just about the transaction; it's about agility, discipline, and training.   The Weight of Success in Automotive Sales Success in the automotive realm doesn't arrive unbidden; it needs to be earned through strategic effort and consistency. Bradley's analogy, “Why don't people lift weights? Because they're heavy,” aptly captures the essence of pushing beyond average—where the real challenge and potential for more significant earnings lie. “If you want the things that the average person doesn't have, you've got to be willing to do the things that the average person isn't willing to do,” Bradley proclaims. This call to action extends across roles in the dealership, from salespeople to dealer principals, emphasizing that mediocrity's shackles can only be broken through a dedication to diligent effort. For salespeople striving to sell more than the industry average, Williams highlights the necessity of buckling down and not waiting until career pressures peak. “Help should have been happening for the last 90 days,” Williams insists, stressing the importance of proactive practice and continuous improvement.   The Imperatives of Mastery: From Training to Application The training process in the automotive industry is pivotal to transforming raw information into actionable results. Williams and Bradley delve into the critical nature of training, positing, as Bradley affirms, “Information without application is just information. But information with application equals transformation.” This underscores the need for time, experience, and relentless repetition to ensure true evolution within sales practices. Real training, according to Williams and Bradley, goes far beyond simply absorbing new information. “Training is not really training, it's just exposure,” notes Williams. The magic occurs when exposure is met with practice and implementation, transforming knowledge into ingrained skills. Bradley emphasizes the systemic advantage when you become a “master of your craft,” analogizing mastery to chess over checkers—more strategic and intentional.   Utilizing Advanced Resources to Multiply Effort In today's technologically advanced sales environment, leveraging innovative tools and platforms can significantly enhance performance. Recognizing AI's potential, LA Williams highlights the efficiency of platforms like Jerry, Podium's AI-powered tool. Describing how Jerry can work tirelessly, Williams stresses its role in facilitating lead conversion by booking test drives and staying attuned to customer interactions without human intervention. Alongside AI, Bradley discusses the importance of ensuring robust utilization of existing CRM systems, often overlooked tools (“a dusty treadmill,” he quips) capable of transforming sales operations when employed comprehensively. He encourages sales professionals to broaden their approach, engaging in social selling, honing in on video follow-up skills, and utilizing resources that set them apart from competitors. Engaging with resources like the Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group also allows for networking and learning from over 30,000 automotive professionals. It's an untapped vein of knowledge and community, offering real-time insights and adapting to contemporary challenges in car sales.   Recapping Insights and Challenges Ahead Echoing the significance of industry standards and best practices, Bradley challenges listeners with an essential question: “What's one heavy thing you've been avoiding in sales? Commit to doing it today.” This invitation is not just a call for introspection but a launchpad for actionable change in one's sales approach. Williams adds, "Whatever it is…commit to doing it come hell or high water. Right? You're going to do it. Right. It's just going to happen regardless." As Bradley and Williams elucidate, transcending the status quo in the automotive industry requires both the courage to confront hard truths and the wisdom to apply lessons learned. Success isn't a fluke; it's a well-earned outcome of practice, repetition, and the relentless pursuit of betterment, echoing Bradley's poignant advice to never practice with real customers—only with fellow practitioners until perfection in approach is achieved. In the landscape of automotive sales, those who rise to the challenge and embrace discomfort discover not just the finesse of closing a deal but the unraveling of untapped potential in themselves.       Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

The 90s weren't just a decade—they were a whole movement. Black culture in the 90s shaped music, TV, fashion, business, and even the church in ways that still hit today. From Martin and Living Single to Tupac, TLC, and Kirk Franklin, the 90s gave us legends, game-changers, and cultural blueprints that remain undefeated.   In this episode of The Jigsaw, we're taking a deep dive into the Black 90s experience—celebrating the shows that represented us, the music that moved us, and the icons who built legacies. We're talking style, ownership, and the influence of the Black church. And of course, we're debating the biggest questions: What was the best 90s show? Which song still slaps like it just dropped? Who had the most iconic style?   If you grew up in the 90s—or just appreciate its greatness—this one's for you.  Tap in and let's talk about the decade that made us.         Bless Up:   Niambi Cacchioli - Pholk Beauty  Check them out online at pholkbeauty.com or on IG @pholkbeauty   Song of the Week:  Mariah Carey - One Sweet Day     Tap in with your favorite Casanegros by writing them or following them on social media:   Email: askthejigsaw@gmail.com   Instagram: @thejigsawpodcast | @iamjoshrodgers | @iambryanhaire

It's S-S-Seeking Sunday!!! Ben here, today Hesse, Jacques and I finally cancel Raven Symone, I give my recipe for the Perfect Salad, and then we have a very serious conversation about how to improve our podcast. And Jacques talks about Jigsaw killing us.

1051. This week, we look at doubled words, like "salad-salad" or "job-job," and what the repetition is actually telling us. Then, in honor of National Puzzle Day, we look at the history of jigsaw puzzles and some fun words from the industry such as "whimsy" and "puzzband."The "puzzle" segment is by Karen Lunde, a former Quick & Dirty Tips editor and digital pioneer who's been spinning words into gold since before cat videos ruled the internet. She created one of the first online writing workshops, and she's published thousands of articles on the art of writing. These days, she leads personal narrative writing retreats and helps writers find their voice. Visit her at ChanterelleStoryStudio.com.
