DOMRADIO.DE hat am 12. Sonntag im Jahreskreis das Pontifikalamt aus dem Kölner Dom mit Weihbischof Dominikus Schwaderlapp übertragen. Der Kölner Domchor sang unter der Leitung von Alexander Niehues und Valentin Bauer. Im Gottesdienst erklangen Teile aus der vierstimmigen "Missa Octavi Toni" des Renaissancekomponisten Orlando di Lasso sowie zum Einzug der gregorianische Prozessionsgesang "Tria sunt munera" und weitere Motetten von Christian Matthias Heiß und John Rutter. An der Orgel war Winfried Bönig, er spielte zum Ende der Messe die „Toccata“ von Eugéne Gigout. Beim Domchor waren zum ersten Mal die Sänger des B-Chores bei der Gestaltung einer Messe im Kölner Dom mit dabei. Das waren 20 Jungen aus den dritten Klassen der Domsingschule und zwei, die über die externe Ausbildung in den Chor gekommen sind. Mehrfach sprach Schwaderlapp im Pontifikalamt mehrere Ordensleute an, die aus Anlass ihrer jeweiligen Ordensjubiläen in den Dom zur Feier der Messe gekommen waren. Er dankte ihnen für ihre vielen Jahre im Dienst ihrer Orden.

In the third and final installment of the series, President Theodore Roosevelt mobilizes the full industrial might of United States to “make the dirt fly” in Panama and succeed where the French Syndicate failed. But many perils await them in “The Zone”. From disease-bearing mosquitos and intractable terrain, to labor problems and lethal accidents, the Panamanian jungle will not be tamed without a fight.    SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.

Leads are filling out your forms, your phone is ringing, and your inbox is busy, but your calendar still has open spots. The real gap is what happens between that first opt-in and the moment someone actually shows up at your door.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Jeff Burlingame breaks down a simple, aggressive lead follow up and lead nurture system built for boutique gyms. He shows how many times to call, when to text, how to sweeten the offer so people actually show up, and when to fire yourself from the setter role and hand lead follow up to someone who will pursue every lead to a clear yes or no.Episode OutlineAre you giving up too soon on paid leadsWhy “maybe” is not an acceptable outcomeCalling cadence and the double dial plus text strategyMindset for consistent follow upAdding value and “sweetening the pot” for appointmentsHandling DND and automation opt outsWhen to step out of the lead nurture roleCompensation ideas for setters and sales rolesEpisode Chapters00:00 Lead follow up mindset and goal01:00 Are you giving up too soon on leads03:30 Pursue every lead to a clear yes or no05:10 Time blocking and protecting sales time07:30 Understanding why leads don't answer09:20 Daily call, call, text cadence11:45 Adding value and sweetening the offer14:30 Handling DND, opt outs, and automation17:10 Firing yourself from the lead nurture role19:40 Hiring and compensating a dedicated setter21:40 Final push to fix your follow up and next stepsConclusionConsistent, structured lead follow up is the lever that turns paid leads into paying members. When you refuse to settle for “maybe” and build a daily rhythm of calls, texts, and value-driven touchpoints, your show rates rise and your front-end sales become predictable. Whether you keep follow up in-house, outsource it, or lean on automation and a setter, the gyms that win are the ones that never stop nurturing the leads they already earned.Action TakenTreat every new lead as paid inventory that must reach a clear yes or noSchedule daily protected blocks for lead follow upImplement a double dial plus text cadence on every new leadUse short, personal selfie videos to increase show rateAdd simple bonuses or welcome packs to increase perceived value of appointmentsContinue manual outreach even when leads opt out of automated textsDecide if you should remove yourself from the lead nurture roleHire or assign a dedicated setter with clear call, appointment, and show targetsBuild a simple commission or bonus plan tied to shows and closesBook a call with Lasso to tighten your gym's lead follow up system, turn cold forms into real conversations, and convert more of your leads into showed appointments.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of Lassoing Leadership, Jason and Garth sit down with Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia and author of Be Yourself at Work.Claude has built her career around a simple but powerful belief: workplaces perform better when leaders focus on the humans first.Throughout the conversation, Claude shares what it means to lead with vulnerability, why emotional intelligence is becoming a core leadership skill, and how leaders can create cultures where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to do their best work.The discussion also explores neurodiversity in the workplace, practical ways leaders can listen more intentionally, and why creating psychological safety isn't just compassionate — it's a competitive advantage.If leadership is about influence, Claude reminds us that the most powerful influence often comes from authenticity, empathy, and courage.Key Take Aways:Why vulnerability is a leadership strength, not a weaknessHow to infuse empathy into workplace cultureSupporting neurodiversity and different ways of thinking at workCreating authentic, human-centered leadership environmentsPractical strategies for listening, connecting, and leading people wellVulnerability builds trust.The best leaders are willing to be human. When leaders show vulnerability, they create space for others to do the same.Empathy drives performance.A culture of care and emotional awareness leads to stronger engagement, retention, and results.Listen for patterns, not just problems.Great leaders listen deeply and notice recurring themes in what their teams are saying.Neurodiversity requires intention.Supporting different ways of thinking means creating systems, tools, and spaces where everyone can thrive.Leaders shape the emotional tone of their organizations.Leadership is not just about strategy — it's about setting the emotional framework that allows people to succeed.Soundbites:“Vulnerability is the foundation of true leadership.”“Emotional fluency is the key to effective leadership.”“Keep leading the Lasso way.”Chapters:00:00 – Opening: Leadership lessons from Ted Lasso08:49 – Why vulnerability matters in leadership14:54 – Career transitions and finding meaningful work20:52 – Responding to real vs. manufactured crises26:44 – Final reflections on great leadership36:17 – Beard's Book Club OutroClaude Silver is the Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia and the author of Be Yourself at Work.

Stop letting random walk-ins and DMs decide your revenue. Your gym needs a sales process, not sales heroes.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Jeff shows gym owners how to get out of “winging it” and build a simple, written sales process your whole team can follow. He walks through how prospects actually find you, what happens from first contact to no-sweat intro or trial, and where most gyms lose the sale. You'll learn how to turn that messy path into a clear SOP, utilize weekly sales meetings and role-playing to sharpen your staff, and protect your business from relying on a single superstar closer.Episode OutlineIntroduction to Gym Marketing Made Simple PodcastImportance of the Sales ProcessSetting Up a Sales ProcessEvaluating and Improving the Sales ProcessRole Playing and Sales TrainingCommunity Support and Additional ResourcesConclusion and Call to ActionEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:03 Gym Marketing Made Simple show open00:29 Jeff introduces Gym Sales Made Simple01:20 Why “the process is the process”03:10 Writing down your full sales process05:10 From first contact to intro and trial07:00 Fixing broken steps and SOP details08:40 Weekly Monday sales meeting structure10:10 Role play to sharpen sales skills12:00 Daily debriefs after intros and trials13:20 Recap and invite to Lasso office hours14:26 Lasso CTA and outroConclusionWhen every coach runs the same clear process, sales stop being a mystery. Writing it down, reviewing it weekly, and role playing the hard parts is how boutique gyms create consistent revenue instead of hoping the right leads show up on the right day. That's the difference between a gym that survives month to month and a gym that knows how to turn leads into long-term members.CTAWant help building or tightening your sales process?

"Klasikā" tiekamies ar diriģentu Intu Teterovski, un šoreiz sarunas tēmas ir divas. Pirmkārt, 23. maijā Alojā gaidāmie VI Virsdiriģentu svētki, kas veltīti pirmo trīs Vispārējo latviešu Dziesmu svētku virsdiriģenta Indriķa Zīles 185. dzimšanas dienai. Svētkos piedalīsies Dziesmu un Deju svētku virsdiriģenti, viņu vadītie kori un Limbažu novada kori, un Ints Teterovskis ir šo svētku mākslinieciskais vadītājs. Sarunājamies par šo svētku tradīciju un šī gada koncertu, kura veidošanā iesaistījušies visi virsdiriģenti, kuri izvēlējušies savas mīļākās dziesmas; par notikumiem bagāto dienu, ozolu stādīšanu un Indriķa Zīles kuplo ģimeni, kura arī būšot klāt. Vairāk par Virsdiriģentu svētkiem šeit! Bet interviju turpinām par Īles baznīcas koncertdzīvi un sadarbību ar Amerikas koriem, vietas atdzīvināšanu un īpašo auru, kas šeit valda, piesaistot vietējo publiku.  22. maijā plkst. 20.00 Īles luterāņu baznīcā risināsies starptautisks koru koncerts Voces Unitatis. Tajā piedalīsies Nevadas Universitātes sieviešu koris "Argenta" (Lasvegasa, ASV), diriģentes Stefānija Kounsila (Stephanie Council) un Sāra Norda (Sarah Noorda), kā arī jauniešu koris "Balsis" un diriģents Ints Teterovskis vadībā. Voces Unitatis ir tradicionāls starptautisks koru koncerts, kas ik gadu apvieno dziedātājus no dažādām valstīm kopīgā mākslinieciskā dialogā. Programma piedāvā daudzveidīgu muzikālo pieredzi, savijot dažādu tautu mūzikas tradīcijas ar sakrālo kormūziku, izceļot katrā kultūrā nozīmīgāko. Koncertā skanēs Palestrīnas, Lasso renesanses mūzikas paraugi, kā arī mūsdienu igauņu, latviešu un Ziemeļamerikas komponistu mūzika - Tormis, Ūsbergs, Kalniņš, Pauls, Vasks, Tiguls, Hogans, Smailija, Remzija, Betina, Kartela un Ezmeila. Atzīmējot izcilā latviešu komponista Pētera Vaska 80 gadu jubileju, kori apvienosies, lai atskaņotu “Fruit of Silence” ar Mātes Terēzes lūgšanas vārdiem. Tikām 30. maijā plkst. 20.00 kamermūzikas koncerts "Itālijas baroks Īlē", kurā skanēs krāšņa 17. un 18. gadsimta itāļu komponistu mūzikas programma. Zināmākais no programmā iekļautajiem komponistiem ir venēcietis Antonio Vivaldi, par kura kompozīciju "Nakts" un tās iespējamo saistību ar šausmu žanru, kā arī citiem skaņražiem, viņu opusiem un dažādiem interesantiem faktiem vēsta sagatavotie stāstījumi. Radoši un emocionāli jaudīgi šo baroka mūzikas partitūru lasījumi ir viens no aspektiem, ko vērts dzirdēt. Kā īpašs pārsteigums jeb bonuss – patiešām unikāls skanējums, ko veido meistarīga, šķiet, ar baroka mūziku nesavienojama mūzikas instrumentu saspēle. Cik kaislīgi skan bandoneons un akordeons, izpildot, piemēram, tango, vai kokle tautas un mūsdienu mūzikas kompozīcijās, tik pat spilgti un emocionāli sakāpināti šie instrumenti izdzied mīlas pārdzīvojumus, smieklus un asaras baroka mūzikas ietvarā. Pārsteigumiem un arī skaistas mūzikas baudījumam būs būt! Koncertā uzstāsies mūziķu apvienība: akordeonists un bandoneonists Artūrs Noviks, koklētājas Anda Eglīte un Dace Priedīte, un baroka vijolniece Lāsma Meldere-Šestakova.

If strangers are opting in but not showing up, you do not need new ads. You need a new system. Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Sherman and Tommy get blunt about why paid ads are not the magic fix gym owners hope for. They walk through the real work of turning a flood of leads into steady revenue, why relying on referrals and organic hits a hard ceiling, and how to think like an owner who wants a sellable asset, not just a busy gym job. Sherman shares his own story of running a profitable gym that was tough to exit, while Tommy breaks down the math and execution behind opening a second location in Houston at around 30k a month from day one. From there, they introduce Relay, a lead nurture system built with AI and human setters that plugs into Lasso's paid marketing so gym owners can stop burning out their best coaches and still get people to show up ready to buy. Episode OutlineIntroduction to Gym Marketing Made Simple PodcastChallenges in Lead Nurturing and Follow-UpThe Role of Paid Advertising in Gym GrowthCase Study: Opening a Second LocationIntroduction to Relay and Its BenefitsImplementation and Results of RelayConclusion and Future PlansEpisode Chapters00:00 Coaches, Sales, and the Real Burnout Problem00:16 Gym Marketing Made Simple Intro00:41 Why Paid Ads Are Not a Magic Fix02:31 How Paid Ads in Fitness Have Evolved04:45 The Ceiling of Organic and Referrals Only07:45 Sherman's Gym: Profitable but Hard to Sell10:29 Deciding to Scale With Multiple Locations13:32 Backing Into the Numbers and 30k Ad Spend15:09 Opening With 130 Members and 30k Revenue16:24 Introducing Relay: AI + Human Lead Nurture19:42 Speed to Lead, AI Fatigue, and Human Handoffs22:15 Phone Calls, Texting, and Market Differences24:00 Who Lasso + Relay Is For (30k+ Gyms)25:51 Onboarding Flow for Relay With Lasso29:25 Building a Sellable Gym vs. Owning a Job30:12 Protecting Coaches From Burnout in Sales32:08 Final Thoughts and Episode Wrap UpConclusionLeads are not your bottleneck. The gap is in how you treat every person from the minute they click on an ad until the moment they sit across from you. When you respect the math, build real systems, and stop forcing coaches to live in the follow up grind, growth feels a lot less chaotic. That is how you move from owning a busy job to owning something that can run and eventually sell on your terms. Action TakenFraming paid advertising as a tool that only works when paired with real systems and follow upPositioning Lasso as the engine that delivers steady, quality leads for growth-minded gyms Introducing Relay as a combined AI and human concierge that:    - Responds quickly to new leads with personalized messaging    - Warms and filters leads, then passes high intent prospects to a real person    - Focuses on booking and confirming appointments that actually showDefining the full Lasso plus Relay stack for gyms doing 30k and above each month Offering an AI only Relay option for gyms under 30k while they fix operations and basics Setting up a clear onboarding path where Relay connects to existing Go High Level accounts, cleans up duplicate workflows, and aligns calendars  CTAIf you are ready to see what happens when strong paid ads and real follow up work together, book a call with the Lasso team and find out how Lasso and Relay could plug into your gym. 

Objections usually aren't a money problem or a timing problem; they're a “you never dug deep enough into my goals” problem.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Jeff Burlingame walks through how to stop settling for “dumb” goals like “I just want to lose weight” and start uncovering real SMART goals that carry actual value for your leads. He shows you how to ask simple questions, follow the thread, and get to three clear goals so selling feels easy, never pushy, and you and your prospect are actually on the same team.Episode OutlineWhy vague goals create objectionsSMART goals vs “dumb” goalsBreaking down the SMART frameworkReal SMART goal examples from weight lossUsing TED to dig deeper“Follow the thread” approachLocking in numbers and timelinesReality check with simple mathThe three SMART goals ruleSpending time up front to save time laterPartnering with the lead as a teamGetting the whole staff alignedEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro & Lasso Sponsor Message00:29 Why SMART Goals Matter In Gym Sales01:20 Dumb Goals vs SMART Goals02:22 Breaking Down SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely)04:05 Using The TED Framework (Tell Me, Explain To Me, Describe To Me)05:12 Following The Thread Like A Detective06:20 Turning “Lose Weight” Into A 30-Pound SMART Goal08:00 Checking If Goals Are Realistic With Simple Math09:15 Why You Need Three SMART Goals, Not One10:28 Making Sales Easy, Never Pushy11:30 Getting Your Whole Team Aligned On SMART Goals12:25 Lasso Resources, Sales Course, And Office HoursConclusionWhen you slow down, ask better questions, and stay with a lead until you uncover three real SMART goals, selling stops feeling like a fight.

Innovation is everywhere, but the majority of what consumers see is incremental change. What does it mean to do something meaningfully different? Lasso is attempting to answer that question. In this episode, CEO Mike Messersmith, the former Oatly executive who helped turn oat milk into a cultural phenomenon, shares how his company is rethinking food from the ground up with breakthrough technology that delivers high-protein, clean-label snacks without compromise.  From its origins as a plant-based meat startup to launching creative new brands like Cronch Club and Froobies, Lasso is using its proprietary process to challenge the limits of taste, texture, and nutrition – while aiming to power the next wave of innovation across the entire food industry. Show notes: 0:20: Mike Messersmith, CEO, Lasso – Mike discusses the launch of Oatly in the U.S. and how the company's strategy of creating a no-compromise product experience – particularly within the specialty coffee landscape – as key to driving widespread adoption and category growth. He talks about how he's applying similar principles to Lasso and how the former plant-based meat company pivoted as market dynamics shifted, expanding its technology into broader applications that enable high-protein, high-fiber, clean-label foods without relying on traditional processing methods or additives. Mike explains that the company's consumer brands serve as proof-of-concept products that demonstrate the technology's potential across categories such as snacks and fruit chews, while also helping refine product-market fit through direct-to-consumer channels. He emphasizes that Lasso sits at the intersection of food and technology, aiming to solve consumer demand for better nutrition, taste, and transparency by innovating at the manufacturing level rather than just formulation. Mike reveals that the company's long-term vision is to partner with established food manufacturers, licensing its technology to enable a new generation of products, while leveraging its own brands to showcase what's possible and build credibility with both consumers and investors. Brands in this episode: Lasso, Chobani, Oatly, Cronch Club, Froobies

Stop killing your gym ads after a bad week. Learn how to read your numbers, ride out slow seasons, and let Facebook's algorithm actually work for you—so your best campaigns can finally scale instead of getting shut off too soon. Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode Highlights In today's episode, Blake breaks down how to structure, fund, and optimize Facebook ad campaigns for boutique gyms so you stop guessing, stop restarting the learning phase, and start making decisions based on real conversion data, especially when seasons, holidays, and human behavior get in the way. Episode Outline Why simple ad structures (1–2 campaigns, 2–4 ad sets) outperform overbuilt accounts  How budget controls Facebook's learning phase and how long to let ads run  The rule of spending 2–4x client value before killing a campaign  Why $1,000–$1,500/month is a realistic baseline for local gym ads  Reading results in 14-day windows—and when to zoom out to 30 days  How spring break, holidays, weather, and school schedules skew performance Why cost per lead is not the only (or best) metric to judge campaigns  Keeping “expensive” ads that close high-quality members  When to leave a winning campaign alone and launch a fresh test campaign  Smart ways to expand your audience: age, targeting, radius, and ideal size - How to think about rural markets vs. urban markets  Dialing in creative to the age groups that are actually opting in  The “gold standard” funnel metrics from lead to close  Fixing your sales and funnel before blaming “bad” leads  Using frequency to decide when an ad is truly worn out  Episode Chapters00:00 Intro & Podcast Purpose00:30 Why Simple Ad Structures Work Best01:20 Budgets, Learning Phase, and When to Turn Ads Off03:12 Reading Results in 14- and 30-Day Windows04:20 Human Behavior, Seasons, and “Slow” Weeks05:40 Judging Campaigns by Cost per Lead vs. Closed Clients07:43 Expanding Targeting: Age, Interests, and Audience Size09:10 Urban vs. Rural Targeting and Radius Expansion10:10 Dialing Creative to the Ages That Opt In11:10 Funnel Metrics: Lead to Consult, Show, and Close Rates12:26 Frequency, Ad Fatigue, and When to Kill a Creative13:28 Final Recommendations and Call to ActionAction Taken Run 1–2 core campaigns with 2–4 ad sets optimized for leads.  Set a consistent monthly ad budget in the $1,000–$1,500 range where possible.  Review campaign performance in 14-day windows; use 30 days around major events.  Keep high-quality, higher-cost campaigns live and test cheaper leads in separate campaigns.  Expand age ranges, relax tight targeting, and widen radius by 1–3 miles to grow audience size.  Track conversion rates through the full funnel before touching winning ads.  Monitor frequency and shut off creatives that are over 10+ views and no longer producing.  Conclusion This episode shows that winning gym marketing is less about hacking Facebook and more about respecting data, time frames, and human behavior. When you keep your structure simple, fund your campaigns properly, and judge success by closed clients instead of just cheap leads, you give Facebook enough room to find your best prospects and give your gym a dependable growth engine instead of a reset button every few weeks. CTA If you're ready to stop guessing with your ads and want a clear plan for your gym, book a free call with the Lasso team and dial in a campaign that can actually scale.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of Lassoing Leadership, Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols sit down with Drew Dudley to explore a simple but powerful idea: leadership isn't defined by titles or big moments — it's shaped by the small behaviors we practice every single day.Drawing from his book This Is Day One, Drew shares the mental models, questions, and habits that help leaders move from intention to impact. The conversation centers on the idea that leadership is not something we wait to grow into. Instead, it's something we practice daily through decisions, behaviors, and the values we choose to live out in the moment.Drew reflects on personal stories that shaped his thinking about leadership and offers practical ways leaders can rethink their influence. From the importance of recognizing small moments of impact to the discipline of grounding decisions in values, the conversation highlights how meaningful leadership often grows out of everyday choices.Jason, Garth, and Drew also explore the idea of “Day One” leadership — the mindset that every day presents a new opportunity to lead with purpose. The discussion moves into the role of reflective questions, overcoming leadership paralysis, and finding the courage to act even when the path forward feels uncertain.It's a thoughtful conversation about habits, humility, and how leaders can create lasting impact by focusing on the behaviors that matter most — one day at a time.TopicsLeadership, Daily Habits, Values-Based Leadership, Impact, Drew Dudley, This Is Day One, Leadership Development, Behavioral Change, Leadership QuestionsTake AwaysLeadership as daily behavior grounded in valuesThe concept of “Day One” leadershipThe impact of small actions and decisionsMental models for effective leadershipReflective questions that drive meaningful leadership behaviorLeadership impact is created through consistent daily behaviors.Values should guide decisions, especially when leadership becomes complex.Reflective questions help leaders move from intention to action.Every day offers a fresh opportunity to lead with purpose.“Every day is a new opportunity to lead.”“Fight addiction one day at a time.”“Keep leading the Lasso way.”Chapters00:00 — Introduction to Everyday Leadership06:05 — The Concept of Day One09:22 — Personal Stories and Insights12:08 — Leadership and Legacy15:13 — Behavior and Values in Leadership17:59 — Overcoming Leadership Paralysis21:10 — Making Leadership Impactful24:45 — Navigating Fear and Empathy in Leadership27:02 — The Power of Reflective Questions29:02 — Experiments in Leadership and Impact30:55 — Decision-Making and Values32:45 — The Complexity of Leadership36:39 — Ted Lasso as a Leadership Case Study

They also dissect the coaching blunders that led to Florida's early exit and celebrate the legendary "balls" of St. John's Dylan Darling, who called his own game-winning play against Rick Pitino's better judgment. Beyond the court, the guys switch gears to the diamond for a massive 2026 National League preview. They break down every division, debating if anyone can actually stop the Dodgers' "juggernaut" rotation and which NL East "aging stars" or "hurting Braves" have the best shot at a deep October run.

Send us Fan MailWe've got some depression from Cobalt and Casey following the Carabao Cup final, Asher's annoyed by Liverpool, and Ryan has accepted his relegation reality. The guys talk about this week's premier league goings on ...well some of them, as well as this past week's Champions League's goings on. 

“It's not until you're leading an ensemble that you really figure out how to make the music happen and how to motivate the people around you. It's humbling in a lot of ways, and it's so gratifying. As a conductor, you're providing the framework for musicians to do their best work. Both in the way that you structure rehearsal and the gestures that you are showing the music through, you're creating a scaffolding, inviting people in, and collaborating together. Ideally, you're creating a situation where everybody has ownership of the musical process and the musical result as well.”Grant Gershon currently celebrates his 25th season as the Kiki and David Gindler Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Master Chorale, which he has turned into the "best-by-far major chorus in America” (Los Angeles Times). Earlier in 2026, Grant and the Chorale were honored to receive their second Grammy™ Award for Best Choral Performance, and they have been nominated 3 times in the last 5 years in this category. In 2025 the Chorale was featured on the Academy Awards ceremony, broadcast to over 19 million viewers around the world.A champion of new music, Grant led the world premiere of John Adams' Girls of the Golden West at the San Francisco Opera. He also conducted its European premier at the Dutch National Opera. As Resident Conductor of LA Opera, Grant conducted the West Coast premiere of Philip Glass's Satyagraha, and he led the world premiere of Daniel Catán's Il Postino, subsequently released on Sony Classical Records.Among the highpoints of his tenure with the LA Master Chorale, he twice opened the famed Salzburg Festival—with Orlando di Lasso's Lagrime di San Pietro in 2019 and Heinrich Schütz' Music to Accompany a Departure in 2023. He and the Chorale also performed these works to enormous acclaim in London, Paris, Montreal, Toronto, Chicago and New Zealand.Grant's discography with the Chorale includes recordings of music by Billy Childs, Nico Muhly, Henrik Gorecki, David Lang, and Steve Reich. He has also led the Chorale in performances for motion picture soundtracks, including, at the request of John Williams, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.In New York, Grant has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall and Trinity Wall Street. Other major appearances include performances at the Ravinia, Aspen, Edinburgh, Helsinki, Salzburg, and Vienna festivals; Teatro Colon in Buenos Aries, the Barbican in London and the Paris Philharmonie. He has worked closely with numerous legendary conductors, including Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez, Gustavo Dudamel, Zubin Mehta, Simon Rattle, and his mentor, Esa-Pekka Salonen.To get in touch with Grant, you can email him at ggershon@lamasterchorale.org or find him on Instagram (@the_gershmeister).Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson

Most gym ads fail for one simple reason. The system sending leads was never set up to filter the right people in the first place.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple, the show focused on cutting through the noise around gym growth. Each episode centers on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems that help boutique gyms build steady momentum without guesswork or constant outreach.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Blake Ruff discusses a new Facebook Ads Manager feature that allows campaigns to target users who prefer submitting a lead form on Facebook or visiting a website. SMS verification helps improve lead quality on Facebook lead forms, while proper Meta pixel installation ensures website conversions are tracked correctly. Using both options allows gyms to capture leads from different user behaviors and compare results through campaign data.Episode OutlineOverview of the new Facebook Ads Manager feature, allowing website or instant form lead deliveryHow Facebook determines whether a user is sent to a website or a lead formAdvantages of Facebook instant lead formsImportance of SMS verification for improving lead qualityWhen websites generate higher quality leadsThe role of the Meta pixel in tracking website conversionsUsing Facebook Pixel Helper to confirm the pixel is firing correctlySetting campaign budgets versus ad set budgets in Ads ManagerHow to configure and customize lead forms inside FacebookRequired lead form fields and privacy policy requirementsConnecting Facebook leads to a CRM for follow-upThe benefit of running website traffic and lead forms togetherUsing campaign data to compare results from both lead sourcesEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro & Podcast Overview00:29 New Facebook Ads Feature: Website + Instant Forms01:20 Pros & Cons of Lead Forms vs Websites02:15 SMS Verification for Higher-Quality Leads03:05 Website Optimization & Pixel Setup04:24 Building High-Intent Lead Forms05:20 Combining Website Traffic & Instant Forms06:40 Using Data to Optimize Campaigns07:30 Recap & Call to ActionAction TakenEnable SMS verification on Facebook lead forms to confirm phone numbers and improve lead qualityInstall the Meta/Facebook pixel on the websiteEnsure the lead conversion pixel fires when a form is submittedDownload and run the Meta Pixel Helper to verify tracking eventsCreate or duplicate a lead form with higher-intent settingsAdd fields for first name, last name, email, and phone numberInclude privacy policy and a clear call-to-action to schedule a free trialConnect Facebook lead form submissions to the CRM systemSelect the correct website pixel and set the conversion event to “Lead” in Ads ManagerConfigure campaigns using the website plus instant forms optionOptimize the website using a clear problem-solution message and fewer distractionsRun campaigns and compare lead performance from website traffic and instant formsConclusionThe new Ads Manager feature allows gyms to capture leads in two ways without choosing one platform over the other. Facebook directs users to the experience they are most likely to complete, while campaign data reveals which path produces stronger results. With SMS verification, proper pixel tracking, and a clear website message, both lead sources can support stronger ad performance.CTABook a free call using the Lasso framework to see how a structured marketing system can increase member sign-ups.

In August of 1914, the United States of America completed a man-made waterway through the Panamanian isthmus, linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans for the first time in history. But that engineering triumph was the culmination of decades of toil, conflict and death. In this first episode of a multi-part series on the Panama Canal, we trace the origins of its construction, beginning with the doomed French attempt and its tragic protagonist, Ferdinand de Lesseps.      SOURCES: Burton, Anthony.

Plus, we give a heartfelt sendoff to Jacqui Brugliera as she departs BevNET after 12 years. Show notes: 0:23: Honoring A Legend. More Meetups! Heading West. Speedy Delivery.

The hosts also discuss whether big CPG brands are catching up to entrepreneurial ones as they chase "better-for-you" trends like protein and fiber and whether legacy companies can truly match the credibility and branding agility of smaller players. They also riff on the rise of "creamy condiments" and highlight a new RTD Vietnamese coffee, a decaf sparkling coffee, buttermilk pancake mix, hop-infused cocktails, and a wave of new products from Athletic Brewing.

Michael "Rooster" Phelan The "Moral Dilemma" Punch: Rooster delivers a powerful segment questioning his fandom for the New York Giants after disturbing emails surfaced regarding co-owner Steve Tisch. He takes a firm stance, stating he cannot support the team if Tisch is not forced out, sparking a deep debate on the morality of sports ownership. The "Bald Vanity" Rant: In a lighter but equally passionate moment, Rooster "punches" male athlete vanity, specifically mocking LeBron James and Jalen Brown for using hair polish and a boxer whose toupee flew off mid-fight. Homer Hopes: Rooster expresses his "homer" hope for the Giants to hire a disciplinarian coach like Tom Coughlin or John Harbaugh to bring structure to the team's young talent. Chris "Bison" Nace National Catchers Day Celebration: Bison brings an entire roster of legendary catchers—including Josh Gibson, Johnny Bench, and Gary Carter—to "the bar" in honor of National Catchers Day. The Washington Post Defense: Bison delivers a stinging "punch" to Jeff Bezos for the decline of The Washington Post's sports section, lamenting the loss of embedded local reporting and the impact on the sports community. Skepticism of the "Upstart" Patriots: Bison mockingly refers to the New England Patriots as an "upstart franchise" that has never been to a Super Bowl, before acknowledging his genuine annoyance that "they're f***ing back". Bryan Pope The Olympic History Buff: Pope shines as the resident expert on the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, sharing details about Lindsey Vonn's attempt to be the oldest medalist and the unique "luxury resort" setting of Cortina in the Dolomites. "Sir Barks-a-Lot" & Tennis: Pope explains how his 13-year-old golden retriever, Carmichael (aka Sir Barks-a-Lot), waking him up at 3AM led to him becoming an accidental expert on the Australian Open. The "Pope Stat": He provides the unique trivia that Charlie Puth is the first Jewish singer to perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Tobi "House" Millrood The "Birding" Quarterback: House brings fellow "birder" Sam Darnold to the bar, celebrating the quarterback's redemption arc as a "Lasso story" while defending his own hobby of ornithology and bird calls. The Manchester United Haircut Bet: House tracks the viral story of Frank Illett, a fan who hasn't cut his hair in 485 days, betting that if the team wins two more games, they will have him on the pod for a live head-shaving. The "Breaking Away" Comparison: House compares the long-suffering Indiana Hoosiers fans' recent success to the movie Breaking Away, celebrating their journey from "all thin" to a "colossal all-time ride". Patrick "Milk" Mickler The "Quad God" Aficionado: Milk stuns the other hosts with his knowledge of figure skating, introducing them to Ilya Malinin (the "Quad God") and explaining the emotional weight of the team's history following a tragic plane crash. The "Cycle of Hell": Milk provides a cynical but realistic breakdown of the "NFL cycle of hell," where good offensive coordinators are immediately hired away as head coaches, leaving teams like his Buccaneers in a constant state of turnover. The Outdoor Hockey Hype: Milk celebrates the success of the Stadium Series in Tampa, describing the "phenomenal" scene of outdoor hockey in 38-degree Florida weather.
