This week we chat to Francis Rodino. You've built a serious business. Leads are coming in. You have a sales team. Revenue is growing. But the systems underneath that growth haven't kept pace. Your CRM doesn't reflect reality. Follow-up is inconsistent. Reporting can't always be trusted. Too much knowledge sits in people's heads. Leadership gets dragged into deals and operational decisions the team should be handling. And you know AI and automation could help — but where will it actually make a measurable impact? That's where Francis comes in! Francis is the author of the Amazon bestselling book Leads Machine, shortlisted for the Business Book Awards 2026, and founder of Lead Hero.

Senior Associate Editor Dave Pilla discusses AM Best's 2026 rankings that show California still leading the nation in private passenger auto direct premiums written, followed by Texas, Florida, New York and Georgia.
In this episode, we kick things off in a New Orleans courtroom where jury selection has begun for a disbarred attorney accused of orchestrating the murder of a federal witness. Prosecutors allege Sean Alfortish conspired to kill Cornelius Garrison, a so-called "slammer" who intentionally sideswiped eighteen-wheelers in a sprawling staged truck crash scheme and later began cooperating with the FBI. The case is part of a massive federal probe that has charged sixty-three defendants in connection with an operation spanning over a decade, where participants recruited passengers and paid drivers to target big rigs carrying large commercial policies, then filed fraudulent lawsuits seeking insurance payouts. Next, we shift over to the rails where a coalition of seven Republican state attorneys general is urging the Surface Transportation Board to reject Union Pacific's proposed acquisition of Norfolk Southern. In a letter filed on August eleventh, the attorneys general argued the railroads have not demonstrated the merger would serve the public interest or strengthen rail-to-rail competition. The coalition took particular aim at the proposed Committed Gateway Pricing arrangement, contending it would apply to only zero point nine percent of U.S. rail traffic and could actually result in higher rates for many shippers. Finally, we head south to examine the critical role of cross-border trade as new Census Bureau data confirms Mexico's dominant position in U.S. commerce. Laredo, Texas, remained the nation's busiest international trade gateway, handling a massive thirty-six point five billion dollars in cross-border trade during June—accounting for more than one-third of all U.S.-Mexico commerce. The port's performance highlights its critical role as the primary conduit for automotive parts, vehicles, machinery, electronics and other manufactured goods moving between the two countries.

The Agents of Change: SEO, Social Media, and Mobile Marketing for Small Business
Here's a question I ask every business owner who complains their marketing "isn't working": when's the last time you actually looked at your website like a stranger would? Because nine times out of ten, the traffic is fine. It's the website that's dropping the ball. My guest this week is Irwin Hau, founder of Chromatics and Conversion Cow, who's analyzed close to 70,000 websites (yes, 70,000) and built an entire framework around the psychology of trust and conversion. Before he was auditing websites for a living, he was a card illusionist, which honestly explains a lot once you hear him talk about how easy it is to manipulate attention online. If you've ever wondered why people aren't calling, filling out your forms, or sticking around past the homepage, this episode hands you the four questions your website needs to answer, and the simple, often free fixes most businesses are missing. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/634 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

DEF CON In-Flight Wi‑Fi Hack, 400 Microsoft Patches, and AI Agent 'Ghostjacking' Delta Air Lines is investigating a brief appearance of an unauthorized Wi‑Fi network on a Las Vegas–Atlanta flight carrying DEF CON attendees after reports of a deauthentication attack, a rogue SSID ("Delta Wi‑Fi Fast"), and an alleged phishing page; authorities questioned suspects and seized portable Wi‑Fi hardware after landing. Microsoft released 400 August Patch Tuesday fixes, including 42 critical and three zero-days, one exploited CVE-2026-68820 tied to Lazarus and a kernel rootkit. Tenant Security demonstrated "ghost jacking" at DEF CON 34, where blocked firewall logs and other telemetry can poison AI agents into executing attacker instructions across platforms like Cloudflare, Datadog, and Sentry, prompting calls for least privilege, short-lived credentials, and human approvals.

You can make smart plans and still feel lost when the pressure hits. If you have been asking God for direction about your career, your family, or what you are supposed to do next, this message brings you back to a steady, biblical way to hear and follow God's guidance.We talk about receiving a vision from God that keeps Jesus Christ at the center, then expands into every major area of life: your spiritual life, your vocational life, your family life, and even your social and recreation life. Tony shares a personal timeline of vision and fulfillment starting in 1998, showing how God leads step by step over years, not just in one big moment. The anchor Scripture is John 16:13, where Jesus calls the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Truth who guides us into all truth and reveals what is to come, which connects discernment, wisdom, and long-term direction.From there, we break guidance down into three practical responses: faith, trust, and obedience. Faith keeps you seeking God even when the vision feels impossible. Trust looks like Proverbs 3:5-6 in real life, acknowledging God in all your ways instead of leaning on your own understanding. Obedience turns that inner prompting into action, whether God is telling you to move, to wait, or to take one small step at the right time.If you need clarity for your next decision, listen closely, write the vision down, and make room for the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit. Subscribe for more biblical leadership and life guidance, share this with a friend who needs direction, and leave a review with the area where you are asking God to lead you next.Send Tony a Texthttps://www.seldicompany.com/
5 Steps to Faster, Cheaper Leads with Facebook Ads (Plus a Priority Lesson for Marketers) Patrick Allmond shares a Wednesday livestream with a personal lesson on priorities and calendar management, arguing that if you don't set your own priorities, you'll end up working on someone else's. He explains a repeating digital marketing cycle where new platforms grow on organic reach, then shift to ads and paid features, and says effective lead gen should feel organic even when it's paid. He offers a PDF, "The Playmaker's Guide to Faster and Cheaper Leads," outlining five steps: use a CRM as a system of record, record and caption five short vertical hook/explain/CTA videos, launch a simple Meta ad campaign, set up automated multi-channel follow-up (not SMS alone), and focus on booking calls to increase closes. He closes by encouraging viewers to embrace fear as a constant and take action. 00:00 Welcome and Subscribe 00:50 Using AI for Content 02:31 Priorities and Calendars 05:03 Digital Marketing Cycle 07:24 Lead Gen Steps Overview 08:17 Step One CRM Setup 09:13 Step Two Video Hooks 13:42 Step Three Launch Meta Ads 17:16 Step Four Automated Follow Up 22:16 Step Five Book Calls 25:09 Fear and Final Wrap

Certainty feels like safety. But you can only ever be certain alone — and the life you build on control slowly becomes a lonely one. In week two of the series on OCPD, Dr. Greg explores why we reach for control when trust feels dangerous — and how the certainty we build to feel safe ends up costing us the very relationships it was meant to protect. Key Topics: Why the certainty that makes you feel safe is the same thing that leaves you alone How a rule can feel safer than a person — because a rule never changes its face Why the control you use to protect the people you love can drive them straight into the danger you feared How devotion can quietly turn into a contract with God instead of trust in Him Why trying harder to get it perfect is the pattern itself, not the way out of it Learn More: Previous episode in this series — OCPD Part 1: Ep. #290: "I'm Only Loved When I'm Perfect": The Lie Fueling Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder Join us at the Summit of Integration this October in Dallas — launching the Year of St. John Paul II Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism by Dr. Paul Vitz — on how wounded trust in a father can shape our capacity for faith Person and Act — St. John Paul II's (Karol Wojtyła's) philosophical work on the acting person, and the personalist heart of this episode Stop Walking on Eggshells by Paul Mason & Randi Kreger — the book on borderline patterns Dr. Greg references Start of the Being Human series on the Antisocial Defense Patterns: Ep. #281: Control or Be Controlled: The Devastating Wounds Behind Antisocial Behavioral Patterns Start of the Being Human series on the Borderline Defense Patterns: Ep. #269: BORDERLINE: The Push-Pull Between a Fear of Abandonment and Annihilation Start of the Being Human series on the Histrionic Defense Patterns: Ep. #274: To Be Loved Is to Perform: Inside the Histrionic Compulsion for Attention and Validation Start of the Being Human series on the Dependent Defense Patterns: Ep. #265: Jerry Maguire, Gollum, and the Fear of Not Existing Start of the Being Human series on the Narcissistic Defense Patterns: Ep. #261: Narcissism and the Terror of Being Ordinary Need help?

In this message, Pastor Kenneth explores Jesus's teachings on worry from Matthew 6 and how it can give us the cure for an anxious mind. Learn how anxiety often pulls us in different directions and fragments our mental focus, which keeps us from remembering that God is working all things together for our good and has a plan for us.
In the final session of a 3 part series through Psalm 23, Jenna DiPrima considers the Shepherd who not only leads us through green pastures and the valley of the shadow of death, but faithfully leads us all the way home.David describes a God who welcomes us to His table, whose goodness and steadfast love relentlessly pursue us, and who promises that we will dwell with Him forever. In Christ, our cups overflow with grace, our enemies will ultimately be defeated, and our Shepherd will never abandon us.As we look toward the eternal home Christ has prepared for His people, we are reminded that every valley has an end and every step of the journey is under the care of our faithful Shepherd. The Christian life begins with following Him, continues with trusting Him through every season, and ends in the presence of God forever.The Shepherd is with us in the pastures. He is with us in the valley. And He will faithfully lead us home.

In this episode, Natalie Koop and Danielle Putnam sit down with Federico Crivelli, Head of Partnerships at Avoca AI, to talk about the biggest source of lost revenue for contractors — and it's not lead generation. Federico breaks down the "leaky bucket" problem, why every missed call could cost you up to $40,000 in lifetime customer value, and why paying for the phone to ring but not answering it is like setting money on fire. He walks through what AI agents can actually do in 2026, the difference between automation and true "agentic" AI, and why the CSRs whose jobs people worry about are usually the ones who end up loving it the most.

Over the past several weeks, we've been delighted toshare the beginning of She Leads the Way—a series of short essays inspired by Dr. Melissa Morriss-Olson's conversations with more than thirty women presidents and senior leaders featured on the IngenioUs Podcast.Each essay explores a leadership lesson that surfacedrepeatedly across these remarkable conversations.Today, we're pleased to share the second essay in theseries. Leadership journeys rarely unfold according to plan.In this essay, Melissa reflects on the stories of Isabelle Cherney,Krista Newkirk, Barbara Mistick, and Barbara Farley—fourwomen whose careers remind us that meaningful leadership is seldom the result of following a perfectly mapped path. Instead, their journeys were shaped by unexpected turns, personal challenges, courageous decisions, and a willingnessto grow through experiences they never could have anticipated.Rather than climbing a predetermined ladder, theycomposed their lives one experience at a time.The companion video brings their voices together, highlighting the wisdom behind these extraordinary journeys and inviting each of us to think differently about our own leadership path.
In this Week 32, 2026 episode of the GMS Weekly Podcast, Grace and Ryan discuss the latest developments shaping the global ship recycling market, including the temporary Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor, rising dry bulk freight rates, oil prices, recycling demand and market conditions across Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Turkey. Iran and Oman have agreed to a temporary shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, although significant conditions and geopolitical risks remain. Proposed transit restrictions and penalties, together with renewed security incidents around the Strait, continue to create uncertainty for commercial shipping. Brent crude closed near USD 83 per barrel, down roughly 5% for the week and around 15% from its July peak. Dry bulk freight strengthened sharply, with the Baltic Dry Index moving above 3,000 for the first time since early June and Capesize earnings rising more than 20% during the week. Stronger freight earnings are increasing competition with ship recycling by encouraging owners to keep older vessels trading. Bangladesh remains the leading ship recycling destination on price, with Chattogram buyers maintaining firm confidence as the market prepares for the next delivery tide window. India's Alang market is showing renewed appetite, supported by a stronger Rupee and improving local steel prices, while the proposed inclusion of two Alang yards on the EU Ship Recycling List remains pending. Pakistan's Gadani market has converted firm pricing into new business, securing several recent candidates as local mills continue to rely on recycled steel supply. Pakistan's inflation eased to 9.2%, while the central bank maintained rates at 11.5%. In Turkey, official inflation eased to 31.75%, although the Lira reached fresh lows and Aliaga recycling prices remained substantially below the Indian sub-continent. The episode examines what these developments mean for shipowners, cash buyers and ship recyclers, as stronger recycling demand across South Asia competes with a resurgent freight market for available end-of-life tonnage. Key topics include: ship recycling, GMS Weekly, Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor, Hormuz transit, Baltic Dry Index, Capesize freight rates, Bangladesh ship recycling, Chattogram recycling market, India ship recycling, Alang ship recycling, Pakistan ship recycling, Gadani recycling market, Turkey ship recycling, Aliaga, steel prices, end-of-life vessels, cash buyers, maritime sanctions, oil prices and global shipping markets.

Bangladesh continues to lead South Asian recycling prices, while India's buying appetite is returning and Pakistan has secured several recent candidates.

We explore Saul's first major test as Israel's newly anointed king. The siege of the coty of Jabesh-gilead puts Saul's leadership to the test, revealing his potential as a decisive and godly leader. Filled with the Spirit of God, Saul rallies the Israelites to a stunning victory, solidifying his kingship. We delve into the historical and spiritual significance of this battle, examining how Saul's actions reflect his obedience and reliance on God. Samuel's subsequent speech serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of following God's commandments for both the people and their king.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Jesus doesn't just invite us onto an easier path—he invites us onto a truer one. The wide road promises freedom but delivers destruction, while the narrow road asks more of us and gives us life in return. Along that road, our character shows up as fruit: visible, tasted, and felt by everyone around us. But none of it holds up—not our words, not our work, not even our miracles—unless it's built on the one foundation strong enough to bear the weight of real life: God's love. And that love isn't abstract. It comes down to a new command, simple enough to remember and hard enough to take a lifetime: love God, love others.
This summer we have journeyed through the Sermon on the Mount, slowing down to sit with the words of Jesus and discover The Way That Leads To Life: a life rooted in the love of God, formed by the wisdom of God, and lived in the freedom of God.Each Monday morning, we've released a companion podcast episode that invites you to slow down and sit with the words of Jesus through a guided Scripture reading and reflection on that week's passage from the Sermon on the Mount.This week, we will end this series, contemplating Matthew 7:13-29.

Exposure Ninja Digital Marketing Podcast | SEO, eCommerce, Digital PR, PPC, Web design and CRO
Value Capital Funding came to Exposure Ninja almost entirely reliant on PPC for their leads. Competition was brutal, and costs were climbing. Twelve months later, they rank in the top five for over 180 keywords, they're generating leads from ChatGPT and Perplexity, and their organic leads have grown 7.4x.Tim Cameron-Kitchen breaks down the three-step Exposure Ninja playbook behind that shift, using the real client work as the example:Rebuild the website around conversion. Customer research showed prospects were searching the symptoms of their problem, not the solution, and that shame was blocking them from acting. Reframing the site around that took conversions from 53 a month to 393, a 640% increase.Get the SEO foundations right. Technical audit, structured data, an optimised Google Business Profile, and 268 overlapping blog posts consolidated into four content pillars. Organic sessions doubled, blog conversions rose 10x, and total traffic increased 4.7x.Build visibility in AI search. Competitor benchmarking, content built for long tail conversational queries, FAQs across key pages, and mentions on the sites AI tools actually cite. ChatGPT sessions rose 231%, conversions from that traffic rose 1600%, and Perplexity became a lead source for the first time.Read the full case study: https://exposureninja.com/our-work/value-capital-funding/Get the full show notes: https://exposureninja.com/podcast/value-capital-funding-strategy/If you're looking to get in-depth customer, competitor, and positioning insights, check out our Brand and Positioning Accelerator https://exposureninja.com/services/branding/brand-accelerator/Book a consultation call for a live review of your website and marketing
DISCLAIMER: This week's sermon topic is rated PG-13. The Bible is full of great children's stories, and then there are some that should never make it on the kids book shelf. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah would be one of those. But the author of Jude uses that story not to shock us, but to caution us of what happens when we allow, and even normalize, moral corruption and perversion in our lives and communities. The story may be unfamiliar, and even uncomfortable, but it's often in these stories we see the depth of God's grace and power. The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".
