Ce lundi, Margaux Lassalle décortique le nouvel album de Maisie Peters intitulé "Florescence". Sorti vendredi dernier, il s'agit du troisième disque de la jeune chanteuse anglaise de vingt-cinq ans. Conçu après avoir quitté l'effervescence de Londres pour se ressourcer dans la petite ville de son enfance, ce projet de quinze titres marque un virage musical. Enregistré en grande partie à Nashville, il dévoile des sonorités beaucoup plus folk et country que ses précédents albums, traduisant un profond sentiment de calme retrouvé et de retour à soi. L'esthétique de ce nouveau disque se veut délibérément organique, romantique et lumineuse. L'album s'ouvre sur le très dépouillé "Mary Janes", avant de laisser place à "Audrey Hepburn", une chanson abordant la thématique d'un amour apaisant. La chanteuse se livre également sur sa vie privée, notamment dans "Vampire Time" où elle raconte la rencontre avec son compagnon actuel. Le projet propose aussi des moments plus piquants, à l'image de "Kingmaker", un duo avec l'Américaine Julia Michaels qui décrit le piège d'une relation où l'on s'oublie à force de vouloir sans cesse élever l'autre. Parmi les morceaux forts de ce disque, on retrouve le puissant single "My Regards", ainsi que le titre "Questions". Si les sonorités de cet ensemble peuvent parfois paraître légèrement répétitives au fil de l'écoute, l'authenticité de la démarche prend indéniablement le dessus. Maisie Peters livre ainsi une œuvre profondément sincère, un très beau projet musical qui accompagnera à merveille le retour des beaux jours. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

മഹാനായ അലക്സാണ്ടർ ചക്രവർത്തിയുടെ മരണശേഷം അനാഥമായ ഒരു കൂറ്റൻ സാമ്രാജ്യം. അധികാരത്തിന് വേണ്ടി പരസ്പരം പോരടിച്ച ജനറൽമാർ. എന്നാൽ ആ കൂട്ടത്തിൽ ബുദ്ധി കൊണ്ടും തന്ത്രം കൊണ്ടും ഒരു സാമ്രാജ്യം തന്നെ പടുത്തുയർത്തിയ ഒരാളുണ്ടായിരുന്നു - ടോളമി ഒന്നാമൻ. അലക്സാണ്ടറുടെ മൃതദേഹം സിറിയയിൽ വെച്ച് നാടകീയമായി തട്ടിക്കൊണ്ടുപോയി ഈജിപ്തിലെ ഫറവോയായി മാറിയ ടോളമി ഒന്നാമന്റെയും, അറിവിനെ ശക്തിയായി തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞ് ലോകപ്രശസ്തമായ അലക്സാണ്ട്രിയ ലൈബ്രറി നിർമ്മിച്ച ടോളമി രണ്ടാമന്റെയും വിസ്മയിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ചരിത്രമാണ് ഈ വീഡിയോ പങ്കുവെക്കുന്നത്.ചരിത്രത്തിലെ ഏറ്റവും ത്രില്ലിംഗ് ആയ ഒരു കാലഘട്ടത്തിലൂടെയുള്ള യാത്രയിലേക്ക് സ്വാഗതം.

In the 1980s, Pamela identified the potential in a defeated Bill Clinton, mentoring him on public presentation and helping him believe in his political future. She used her Georgetown home to raise massive funds, becoming a kingmaker who helped shape the modern Democratic electoral machine. Beyond domestic politics, Pamela played an extraordinary role in Cold War diplomacy. In 1983, she and an ailing Averell traveled to Moscow to open back-channels with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. Later, Raisa Gorbachev specifically requested to visit Pamela's home, bypassing Nancy Reagan to acknowledge Pamela's role in fostering nuclear arms treaties. During the 1992 election, Pamela drew on Winston Churchill's 1945 defeat to convince Clinton that a popular war-time president like George H.W. Bush could be beaten on economic issues. Clinton credits his reach to the White House to Pamela's strategic guidance and support. (7/8)1654

High-performing men often lose attraction at home—not because they stop caring, but because they stop leading. AD Dunbar, known as "The Kingmaker," helps elite CEOs, founders, and executives ($200K–$2M+) restore desire, polarity, and masculine leadership in their marriages—without therapy, emotional negotiation, or "chore play." We discuss how reframing marriage as a leadership arena can reignite intimacy, strengthen authority at home, and balance professional success with personal fulfillment. If you're a high-achiever ready to reclaim attraction and connection in your marriage, this episode provides actionable strategies you can implement immediately.

Zijn schoondochter Pamela was de beste spion die hij ooit had. En zij kende al zijn geheimen, angsten en heldenmoed. In zijn laatste levensjaren nog ging zij met hem mee als gezelschap op het jacht van Onassis. Daar ontmoette zij niet alleen Maria Callas, maar ook oude vrienden: JFK en zijn Jackie. Pamela Digby Churchill Harriman kende iédereen. Ze was een overlevingskunstenares, geliefde van een lange reeks van de machtigste en rijkste mannen uit heel de wereld en een politiek dier van de buitenklasse. Zij was het die Bill Clinton ontdekte voor het presidentschap. Hij schonk haar een droombaan: ambassadeur van Amerika in Parijs. Ook daar was zij een spectaculair succes. Ze wond Jacques Chirac om haar vinger en wist vrede te stichten in een gruwelijke oorlog. Wát een leven! Margot Dijgraaf - Germaine de Staël. Schrijver, balling en feminist avant la lettre Germaine verslaat zelfs Pamela als vrouw met een avontuurlijk leven in wilde tijden. Ze was briljant, schreef bestsellers in zowel de romanliteratuur als wetenschappelijke en politieke essays. Goethe vertaalde haar, Klemens von Metternich en tsaar Alexander ontvingen haar, Wilhelm von Humboldt was een vriend, filosofen als Friedrich von Schlegel en Benjamin Constant waren haar metgezellen, koningin Marie Antoinette was een vriendin die haar wijze adviezen helaas niet volgde. Haar leven tussen 1766 en 1817 viel samen met alle grote revoluties van die jaren en zij speelde daar een opmerkelijke rol in, kende alle hoofdfiguren, correspondeerde en discussieerde met hen. Haar kasteeltje in Coppet, even buiten Genève, was haar salon en die samenkomsten werden 'de Staten Generaal van Europa' genoemd. Ze had één vijand. Napoleon. Ze kritiseerde hem en zijn ondemocratische machtsdrift rechtstreeks in zijn gezicht. Hij liet haar verbannen en de eerste druk van haar boek over Duitsland vernietigen. Toch werd ook dit een bestseller. Margit van der Steen – ‘Ware wonderdieren’. De eerste vrouwen in de Nederlandse politiek (1917-1927) Wie waren de vrouwen die als eersten in ons land politieke functies konden veroveren? Wat maakten zij mee? Hoe werden zij bejegend? Dit boek is een tijdsbeeld van Nederland en het verhaal van deze pioniers. Het werd ze allerminst makkelijk gemaakt, want op rechts en net zo goed op links waren veel mannen allerminst ingenomen of overtuigd van de waarde van de vrouw in de politiek. Troelstra zag hen als risico voor de komst van het socialistisme. De gereformeerden vonden dat vrouwen geen plaats hadden in de harde wereld van macht en geld. De katholieken vonden het moederschap en niet het bestuur haar ware bestemming. Maar daar trokken de politieke pioniers zich weinig van aan. Fascinerende mensen, voor de duvel niet bang. Leer ze kennen. Suze Groeneweg, Carry Pothuis-Smit, Aletta Jacobs. Maar ook Wilhelmina van Itallie-Van Embden, een meesterinterviewer die Kamerlid werd. Frida Katz, het wetgevingskanon van de CHU. Eiske ten Bos-Harkema, een 'rooie vrouw' die het cachot in moest toen ze een 'MeToo'-schandaal onthulde. De liberalen, die het meest hun best hadden gedaan om het vrouwenkiesrecht te realiseren, werden er niet voor beloond. Algemeen kiesrecht beloonde vooral de socialisten. En veel vrouwen conservatief te stemmen. Florian Illies - Als de zon ondergaat (verschijnt op 12 mei in de Nederlandse vertaling) In de zomer van 1933 was het heerlijk aan de Côte d'Azur. Maar Thomas Mann was wanhopig. Kon hij ooit terug naar München naar zijn schrijftafel, zijn romans, verhalen, essays? Florian Illies' documentaire roman schetst die eerste maanden in ballingschap en de ontworteling van de grote schrijver, zijn familie en hun vrienden in Sanary sur Mer. Hoe dochter Erika een dappere regisseur van het overleven tegen Hitler werd. Hoe zoon Klaus in Zandvoort levensmoe leek, maar in verzet een levensdoel hervond. Hoe zoon Golo van verlegen student een stille held werd. En Goebbels stiekem meekeek. IJzingwekkend. Dik Verkuil - De ongenaakbare Bolkestein Een monumentale biografie die een tijdsbeeld geeft van Nederland in de twintigste eeuw. Van het chique milieu van de Amsterdamse elite, van dat van de studenten vroeger, van Shell als koloniaal bedrijf, van de VVD die transformeerde van nette heren partij naar volkse machtsfactor. En Frits Bolkestein loopt daar doorheen, eigenwijs, horkerig, provocerend, aarzelend tussen conservatisme en liberalisme. Trots op zijn gave van 'haute vulgarisation' die maatschappelijke thema's hielp agenderen. Maar ook tragisch. Want als bewindsman, als Eurocommissaris en als politiek leider in de paarse periode boekte hij nauwelijks concrete resultaten. Het premierschap ontglipte hem door eigen, aarzelende vaagheid. Zijn opvolging werd een drama. En zijn Magnum Opus, het boek dat hij decennialang aankondigde, werd een flop. Maar toch, wát een leven! Kevin Rudd – On Xi Jinping. How Xi's marxist nationalism is shaping China and the World Hoe denkt de machtigste man op aarde? Sinoloog en oud-premier van Australië, Kevin Rudd, durft het aan in het brein van Xi te kruipen en zijn ideologische kerngedachten te ontcijferen. Zo kruipen we met hem in de geest van een totalitair heerser, een man naar wie iedereen in China moet opkijken en die men heeft te gehoorzamen. Meest fundamenteel is het feit dat Xi een ware gelovige is. Het marxisme-leninisme is de enige wetenschappelijk bewezen analyse van de wereld en wie deze zuiver volgt, kán niet falen. Daarom heeft hij met drie correcties het bewind van zijn voorganger Deng Xiaoping diepgaand veranderd. Bij de centrale macht van de Partij en bij de economische verschillen binnen China wijst hij een koers 'naar links' aan. Terug naar Lenin en de jonge Mao. Nivellering en een nadruk op staatsbedrijven. Zuivering in partij en legertop. Bij de nationale identiteit van China wijst Xi naar het verleden, naar de tijd voor Mao. De ideologie, cultuur en zelfs bepaalde zeden en religie uit de keizertijd zijn weer acceptabel. Want China is en was één en superieur. Als rode keizer is Xi wereldlijk leider en spiritueel heerser tegelijk. *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Introductie 00:06:75 – Pamela Digby 00:29:48 – Germaine de Staël 00:42:07 – De eerste vrouwen in de Nederlandse politiek 01:05:48 – De familie Mann op de vlucht voor Hitler 01:12:22 – Frits Bolkestein 01:32:11 – Xi Jinping 01:58:06 – Einde *** Verder luisteren Kingmaker 479 - Winston Churchill.

Most men don't lose their relationships because they stopped trying — they lose them because they never understood what actually creates lasting attraction and respect. In this episode, Chris sits down with A.D. the Kingmaker Dunbar, a former engineer who invested over $200,000 and years of study into understanding relationship dynamics from every angle imaginable — from Muslim men with multiple wives to former pimps and pickup artists. What he found will challenge almost everything men have been told about love, leadership, and being a "good guy." In this episode, you'll discover: The three types of men — peasants, good guys, and kings — and which one you're currently operating as Why "happy wife, happy life" is a trap that produces some of the most miserable men alive The power dynamic hiding in every relationship — and how men unknowingly hand over control without realizing it Why your woman can't respect you more than you respect yourself — and how self-investment changes everything in a relationship The midlife crisis reframe — why A.D. says men should "have the crisis now" instead of waiting until 50 The difference between leading and controlling — and why sexual attraction is the only real dividing line between the two Why men are getting more mediocre results while doing more — and the business analogy that makes it undeniable How to flip a failing relationship dynamic — including the one conversation A.D. says you should be having every month Why testosterone is dropping across all species — and what it means for modern dating and marriage How to love without attachment — and why being willing to walk away is actually the most loving thing a man can do Whether you're single, in a relationship, or a husband looking to reignite what's been lost, this conversation is a wake-up call. A.D. doesn't do shame — but he does make you feel something that leads to a decision.

In this episode of the Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals (FKP), Bishop Michael Blue launches a powerful new series: The Professional and the Proverbs. Drawing from ancient Hebrew wisdom literature, he reframes Proverbs not as generalized life advice, but as royal formation literature, king-making instruction from Solomon to those destined to lead. This episode will challenge executives, entrepreneurs, clergy, creatives, educators, and emerging leaders to embrace Proverbs as a royal curriculum — written for those who are called to influence culture. If you are a kingdom professional committed to leadership, excellence, and dominion thinking, this episode will expand your framework for wisdom, authority, and cultural impact.

Arguably one of the most iconic recording artists of the 1950s and '60s, Elvis Presley was a trailblazer—his voice, his movement, and his presence redefining popular music, earning him the title King of Rock and Roll. But behind some of his biggest hits was a singer/songwriter few people knew: Otis Blackwell. Blackwell crafting songs like “Don't Be Cruel” and “All Shook Up.” His melodies and rhythms created the energy and urgency that captivated millions. #bhms #Otisblackwell #elvispresley #celebrateblackhistory #blackhistorymonth

Once hailed as a beacon of democratic reform in Southeast Asia, Myanmar has devolved into a fractured state defined by a brutal, multi-front civil war following the 2021 military coup. The Junta clings to power in the central cities through terror and forced conscription, while a patchwork of resistance forces controls the periphery but struggles with donor fatigue and ammunition shortages. Yet, following the shockwaves of Operation 1027 and the rise of a narcotics-and-scam-fueled war economy, the conflict has shifted. China, the region's hesitant kingmaker, is now applying direct pressure on both sides to secure its strategic access to the Indian Ocean. With the country effectively split and neither side possessing the strength to deliver a knockout blow, the question remains: is Myanmar destined to fracture like Yugoslavia, or can a unified state still emerge from the ashes? Our panel of experts examines the stalled frontlines, Beijing's evolving strategy, and the grim reality of who, if anyone, can actually govern the nation in 2026.

In this episode, Natalie Grueninger speaks with historian Lauren Johnson about Margaret Beaufort — a child bride turned survivor whose political skill, marriages, and networks helped secure Henry VII's rise. They trace her early life, complex role during the Wars of the Roses, and her close but often-misunderstood relationship with her son and Elizabeth of York. The conversation also busts long-standing myths, explores Margaret's religious patronage and use of early printing, and highlights her cultural legacy. Lauren discusses her new biography, Margaret Beaufort's Survivor Rebel Kingmaker, and why Margaret's story matters today.

SILICON VALLEY KINGMAKER Colleague Keach Hagey, The Optimist. At Stanford, Altman co-founded Loopt, a location-sharing app that won him a meeting with Steve Jobs and a spot in the App Store launch. While Loopt was not a commercial success, the experience taught Altman that his true talent lay in investing and spotting future trends rather than coding. He eventually succeeded Paul Graham as president of Y Combinator, becoming a powerful figure in Silicon Valley who could convince skeptics like Peter Thiel to back his visions.

In this episode, we unpack a startling political strategy unfolding in South Carolina. The Post and Courier is openly urging Democrats to vote in Republican primaries—not for conservatives, but for the “most liberal” GOP candidates. Tara and Lee break down why Democrats want to eliminate figures like Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, and why they are quietly backing candidates such as Alan Wilson, Pam Evet, and Josh Kimbrel. From past primary battles to long-term political influence, this episode reveals how parties are manipulating primaries to shape state politics—and what it means for conservative voters.

With a background in journalism, an MFA in creative writing, and a PhD in rhetoric, he is a dynamic and experienced scholar whose first book, Speaking of Evil, explored the evolving rhetoric surrounding evil. Boedy currently teaches rhetoric and composition courses at the University of North Georgia and lives in Gainesville, Georgia, with his wife and two daughters.About his book, The Seven Mountains Mandate: Exposing the Dangerous Plan to Christianize America and Destroy Democracy:“A sobering assessment of the evolution of Christian nationalism.” –Publishers WeeklyExposing the decades-long plan to radically transform America, from Bill Bright and Loren Cunningham's 1975 “seven mountains” vision to Charlie Kirk's 2020 praise of Donald Trump for embracing it, The Seven Mountains Mandate reveals how prosperity preachers and political operatives are destroying democracy under Trump's second administration.The movement to install a populist strongman in the White House with a game plan for enforcing right-wing policies and catering to evangelical Christians started well before Donald Trump's first candidacy. For decades, a well-funded network of religious and political operatives has been quietly working to dismantle democracy and replace it with Christian theocracy. Their strategy? The seven mountains mandate—a plan to seize control of seven key pillars of American society and reshape the nation.Scholar Matthew Boedy exposes how this movement—driven by prosperity preachers, extremist politicians, and right-wing power brokers—laid the groundwork for Trump's presidency and is now advancing its agenda under his second administration. From local school board elections to billion-dollar megachurches, this multipronged effort is reshaping the country in ways most Americans don't even realize. Discover what has motivated the key players in this movement, how they've operated, and what is the unprecedented role of millennial “kingmaker” Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and the new face of Christian nationalism and the seven mountains movement, who believes that “we finally have a president who understands the seven mountains of cultural influence.”Today's news is so much more than the scattershot orders of an extreme administration. With Project 2025 policies in motion, the seven mountains movement is closer than ever to its goal of turning America into a Christian nationalist state. Leaders of this movement have been playing a long game, undermining democracy to establish a theocracy, but it's not too late to halt their progress and reverse the tide. This book reveals what's happening behind the scenes—and what you can do to stop it.(As an Amazon associate, I receive a small commission from purchases made through links on this site.)✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboyspodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/✖️✖️✖️The content presented in this video is for informational and educational purposes only.

Live from Christchurch, literally tomorrow, we bring on Andrew Maxwell, fresh off stage in Riyadh, to ground-truth the social shift you won't see in think-tank PDFs: 8k-seat comedy arenas, mixed audiences, and a culture moving at startup speed. With approximately 17% of the world's proven crude reserves, a sovereign fund near $900bn, and a population that's 65% under 35, Riyadh can bankroll outcomes, including a Gaza deal. Female labour-force participation has doubled since 2016, internet use is near-universal, and Vision 2030 is pointing trillions in capex at tourism, sport, and tech. We dig into how a Saudi–Egypt–Pakistan triangle (money, manpower, nukes) changes the bargaining set, why normalisation with Israel would be a geopolitical earthquake, and what a “phase two” looks like. We also hit the shelved India–Gulf–Med trade corridor, Qatar's broker role with Hamas, and why Europe's mostly a spectator in a multipolar game. Hosted on Acast.

Today we'll be talking about the 5 medical conditions that will allow cannabis users to legally obtain medical certificates, the People's Party's deliberation on which other political party it will form a new government with, and a little later a plan for 45-year-old retirement is causing a stir.

1. Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman's Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue by Sonia Purnell chronicles the extraordinary life of Pamela Digby, later Pamela Harriman, a woman who masterfully leveraged her personal connections and keen intellect to become a significant, albeit often behind-the-scenes, figure in 20th-century politics. Born into an aristocratic but cash-strapped family in rural Dorset in 1920, Pamela Digby received a limited education but possessed a sharp mind. Her desire to escape her constrained upbringing led her to an impetuous marriage with Randolph Churchill, Winston Churchill's son, in September 1939. Despite warnings about Randolph's philandering and abusive nature, she saw the marriage as a doorway to an exciting lifestyle and a way to avoid returning to Dorset. During World War II, as her marriage to Randolph deteriorated, Pamela forged a close bond with Winston Churchill. She quickly became Churchill's secret weapon, joining his inner circle, "Padlock," and gathering crucial intelligence from influential Americans. Her most notable liaison was with Averell Harriman, the 49-year-old in charge of Lend-Lease, whom she successfully "enlisted to the British cause" and "bewitched" with her charm and strategic "mating dance". She also influenced figures like CBS star Ed Murrow, feeding him information to bolster British support in American broadcasts. Her wartime experiences, including giving birth during a Blitz air raid, deeply shaped her perspective. After the war, Pamela continued to cultivate influential relationships, including with Gianni Agnelli of Fiat, whom she helped gain acceptance in Washington. She later moved to America, marrying producer Leland Hayward in the late 1950s. While in the US, she was a close friend of President John F. Kennedy, whose assassination deeply affected her. Following Leland Hayward's death, which left her financially depleted, Pamela re-encountered and married Averell Harriman. This marriage marked her full immersion into American politics. She transformed their Washington D.C. home into a hub for Democrats, making Harriman feel like a king and advancing her own influence. She was an early advocate for women's political involvement, pushing beyond the traditional role of a political hostess to focus on policy and candidates. Pamela became a crucial mentor to Bill Clinton after his 1980 gubernatorial loss, restoring his self-belief and providing strategic guidance, including advice on television appearances. Her efforts were instrumental in shaping the Democratic party and contributing to its successes, including Clinton's 1992 presidential victory. As a reward, President Clinton appointed her Ambassador to Paris, a role she embraced despite her lack of formal diplomatic training. In this position, she played a decisive role in strengthening Franco-American relations and bringing a "moral compass" to the Bosnia crisis, drawing on her own wartime experiences to urge intervention. Pamela Harrimandied in 1997 from a brain hemorrhage, with Bill Clinton delivering an emotional eulogy, acknowledging her indispensable role in his political journey and her significant contributions to the 20th century. 1827 FOREIGN OFFICE AND DOWNING STREET

In this exclusive interview, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander reveals how he became the kingmaker behind Zohran Mamdani's shocking primary victory over Andrew Cuomo. While mainstream media missed the story, we dive deep into the political strategy that helped Mamdani defeat establishment candidates in the race for NYC mayor.Zohran Mamdani's upset victory on his way to possibly becoming the next New York City mayor may have come as a surprise to everyone except Brad Lander. Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman, and Lander, the city's comptroller, cross-endorsed each other in NYC's ranked-choice primary voting system for the Democratic mayoral nominee. Mamdani and Lander found common ground in their progressive values and their mutual commitment to defeating the status quo in disgraced former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, a billionaire-backed “Democrat” with multiple workplace s*xual harassment allegations in his rearview mirror. With Mamdani on his way to defeating scandal-plagued NYC Mayor Eric Adams and becoming the city's first Muslim and South Asian and Ugandan mayor, Lander is contemplating his next move.This week, Katelyn and Christine spoke at length with Lander about how he helped Mamdani overcome the Cuomo machine, his controversial ICE arrest and how it changed the primary race, and the political and media discourse over antisemitism after Mamdani's win. What is Lander's next move? Katelyn asks!Brad Lander breaks down the progressive cross-endorsement strategy that centrist politicians like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams never saw coming. From behind-the-scenes political maneuvering to the future of NYC, this conversation exposes what traditional media won't tell you about New York City politics.Key Topics Covered:-How Brad Lander's endorsement strategy changed the NYC mayor race-Zohran Mamdani's path from outsider to primary winner-The political calculations that shocked Andrew Cuomo supporters-The Media's reaction to Zohran Mamdani's win in the NYC mayor race and the weaponization of antisemitism-Brad Lander's vision for New York City's political future post-Eric AdamsLinks:Follow Brad Lander on Bluesky: ‪@bradlander.bsky.social‬ and Instagram: @brad.landerNo, it is not misspelled.

As the country experiences strange financial anomalies only prevalent in economic downturns, we've decided to show you how to prepare for the worst while still expecting to turn a profit and grow your dental practice. We are joined once again by Dr. Roger Levin, Founder of Levin Group – the leading practice management and marketing consulting firm in dentistry – and he begins today's conversation with his thoughts on the current economic climate and how economic downturns have affected dentistry historically. Then, we discuss what dentists and surgeons should be hyper-aware of at this time of financial uncertainty, why uncertainty is the only guarantee, how financial pressure affects the way practices operate, and the undeniable importance of paying careful attention to your referral marketing program. We also unpack the three stages of success, what fee-for-service practices should be focusing on, how referral marketing helps boost ROI, and the upside of being optimistic amidst a recession. To end, Dr. Levin examines patient financing options, the correlation between staffing and economic turmoil, the dangers of cutting all expenses as a knee-jerk reaction (especially those that pertain to practice efficiency and staff morale), and why he's willing to fully reimburse your purchase if you don't like the books he recommends. Key Points From This Episode:Dr. Roger Levin explains how previous economic downturns have affected dentistry.Why uncertainty reigns in the current economic climate. What dentists and oral surgeons should expect and look out for during these uncertain times. How the economy affects practice behavior and protocols – more work for general dentists.Why surgeons need to maximize their referral marketing potential to stay ahead.The three stages: Achieving success, maintaining success, and protecting success. How fee-for-service practices fare in economic turmoil, and what they should be focusing on.  Strengthening relationships with referral doctors and how referral marketing boosts ROI. The upsides of recession and the role of optimism in succeeding in uncertain times. Unpacking doctor and patient behavior in economic unrest and how to avoid common pitfalls.    A quick look at patient financing options. How staffing and financial instability correlate. The dangers of the knee-jerk reaction to immediately cut all expenses; production vs profit. Dr. Levin's recommended books, and why he's willing to reimburse unsatisfactory purchases.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Roger Levin on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-levin-69ab744/ Levin Group, Inc. — https://levingroup.com/ Levin Group, Inc. on YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@LevinGroupInc American Association of Orthodontists — https://education.aaoinfo.org/ Conquering Crisis — https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217182453-conquering-crisisThe 5 Types of Wealth — https://www.the5typesofwealth.com/  Kingmaker — https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203956642-kingmaker Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/

Maybe you're hesitant to voice concerns at work because you're worried about backlash from your co-workers. These situations are common, but speaking the truth with love is our calling as Christians. The Colson Educators course, "Navigating Cancel Culture," can help. In partnership with "No Safe Spaces," the Colson Center and Brett Kunkle teach you how to understand cancel culture, recognize where it shows up, and respond with a Christian perspective.

In this episode, Bill goes deep with legendary rapper, producer, and entrepreneur Xzibit—shedding light on his childhood as a military brat, the discipline that shaped his hip hop journey, and the inspiration behind his new album, “Kingmaker.” Xzibit opens up about chasing creative ambition while staying true to himself in an ever-shifting hip hop landscape, shares thoughts on social media's addictive pull, and hip hop rivalries. He also reveals the hilarious story behind his fight scene with Jennifer Aniston in “Derailed,” complete with Brad Pitt lurking awkwardly in the background, and Bill recounts how one of Xzibit's iconic lyrics made its way onto “Politically Correct” —a testament to Xzibit's impact on both music and pop culture.
