The leopard cult of Ekpe in Calabar, in present-day Nigeria and southwestern Cameroon, has one of the most unique performance traditions in all of Africa - a complex theatrical tradition, referred to in calabar English as "play," which encompasses a cycle of sacred dramas that takes many years to execute. The music of this society is almost completely unknown outside the region, because it was not recorded until the 1980s. This program will feature Calabar-themed recordings by artists including Sexteto Habanero, Chano Pozo, Arsenio Rodriguez, and Los Munequitos de Matanzas. Dr. Ivor Miller, the only scholar who has both penetrated the Abaku society and visited the motherland in Calabar, and promoted the first-ever re-encounter between the two traditions, will play some of this powerful music and tell stories of this fascinating culture.

Today's guest is someone whose story and message deeply touched me. As a volunteer clergy member at our local jail, I have the privilege of working one-on-one with inmates to help them discover hope, healing, and the belief that no matter what mistakes they've made, their past does not have to define their future.Recently, I attended a district conference with other volunteers and several former inmates who have completely turned their lives around. It was there that I had the privilege of hearing Tony Taylor speak and sing. His story was powerful, honest, heartbreaking, and inspiring—and I immediately thought, “More people need to hear Tony's story.”Tony shares his journey of growing up feeling like he didn't belong. Born to a Black father and Native American mother, he struggled deeply with identity, racism, bullying, and trauma from a very young age. His childhood was filled with instability, abuse, addiction, violence, abandonment, and unimaginable pain. He experienced sexual abuse as a child, exposure to drugs and domestic violence, and by his teenage years he was already battling alcoholism, drug addiction, and destructive coping mechanisms.In this episode, we talk openly about trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), generational pain, and how unresolved wounds can shape behavior. Tony explains that while trauma does not excuse harmful actions, understanding the roots of pain can help us better understand ourselves and begin the healing process.Despite the chaos surrounding him, Tony graduated from high school, attended college, played football, and started a family. But the trauma he carried inside eventually caught up with him. In a tragic situation, Tony took another person's life and was sentenced to prison.What happened next is what makes Tony's story so remarkable.While in court, the victim's family challenged Tony to do something good with his life. Those words changed him. Instead of surrendering to hopelessness, Tony committed himself to growth, accountability, education, and personal transformation. During his 29 years in prison, he immersed himself in self-improvement programs, life skills classes, and college education. He eventually went from student to teacher, helping mentor and teach fellow inmates. He earned his bachelor's degree and is close to completing his master's degree.We also discuss the important distinction between guilt and shame, inspired by the work of Brené Brown. Guilt says, “I did something bad,” while shame says, “I am bad.” Shame leads to hopelessness, but healthy guilt can motivate change, growth, and accountability.Tony shares how difficult it is to pursue healing and self-improvement in prison, where negativity often dominates the environment. Yet he also shares how faith transformed his life. He credits God and the healing power of Jesus Christ with changing his heart, giving him hope, and teaching him humility, accountability, forgiveness, resilience, and love.Tony openly acknowledges the pain he caused and the years he spent in prison. But instead of wasting that time, he chose to become a better man. Today, he and his son are building a new future together through a fantasy sports business venture with the goal of creating positive impact and giving back to charitable causes like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.One of Tony's favorite scriptures is Ephesians 3:20:“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine according to His power at work within us.”In closing, I shared a story from former prison warden Clinton Duffy. When one critic told him, “Leopards don't change their spots,” Duffy replied:“I don't work with leopards. I work with men, and men change every day.”This episode is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond hope, healing, redemption, or transformation.In This EpisodeHow childhood trauma and ACEs impact behaviorThe connection between pain, addiction, and destructive choicesGenerational trauma and breaking unhealthy cyclesThe difference between guilt and shameFaith, accountability, and personal transformationFinding purpose and healing after devastating mistakesEducation, mentorship, and growth in prisonWhy people are capable of real change and redemptionBuilding a meaningful future after prisonListen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

In Episode 323 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love interviews Alison Reynolds, Director of Digital Marketing at Vincent & Elkins, about the firm's major website redesign and what professional services firms must do to remain visible in the age of artificial intelligence. Alison shares lessons learned from an 18-month redesign project, including how AI-powered search is changing website strategy, why traditional SEO is evolving, and how firms must rethink content structure, user experience, site speed, and digital engagement.

In Episode 321 of The Rainmaking Podcast (Legal Series), Scott Love interviews Bernie Clark, founder of Majux, about one of the biggest hidden growth opportunities in law firms: intake efficiency. Bernie explains why many law firms spend heavily on marketing and lead generation but fail to maximize results because they lack a structured intake process. From phone calls and website forms to text messages, chat widgets, and after-hours inquiries, every lead represents potential revenue—but only if firms have systems in place to qualify, track, and convert those opportunities into clients. Bernie breaks down the common intake mistakes law firms make, including poor lead qualification, inadequate follow-up, lack of data tracking, and failure to assign ownership of the intake process. He shares practical strategies for building intake scripts, implementing lead tracking systems, utilizing CRM and case management software, improving after-hours responsiveness, and continuously testing intake performance. For managing partners, law firm owners, legal marketers, and intake professionals, this episode provides a practical roadmap for increasing conversion rates, improving client acquisition, and maximizing marketing ROI.

In this episode of Moonshots, Mike and Mark dive into the groundbreaking ideas of Dr. Kelly Starrett, author of Becoming a Supple Leopard. Through insights shared with Dr. Andrew Huberman, they explore why movement quality matters, how poor posture quietly impacts health and performance, and what we can do to reclaim our natural mobility.From understanding common movement dysfunctions to embracing play and exploration as part of physical development, this episode offers practical tools for anyone looking to feel stronger, move better, and stay capable for years to come.At a time when many of us spend more hours sitting than moving, Starrett's message is especially relevant: the body adapts to what we repeatedly do. By making small but intentional changes, we can build resilience, improve performance, and enhance our overall quality of life.Whether you're an athlete, professional, parent, or simply someone who wants to move through life with greater ease, this episode provides actionable insights you can start applying today.Key ThemesMovement as a foundational human skillIdentifying and correcting common movement problemsThe relationship between posture and performanceBuilding long-term physical resilienceMobility as a daily practiceAdapting the body through consistent movement habitsThe importance of play and movement varietyConcepts & BreakthroughsMovement Quality Drives LongevityStarrett emphasizes that movement is not merely exercise; it is a fundamental expression of human capability. Poor movement patterns often accumulate gradually, leading to discomfort, inefficiency, and reduced performance. By improving movement quality, individuals can enhance both everyday function and long-term health.Posture Is a Performance ToolGood posture is often misunderstood as simply standing up straight. Starrett reframes posture as the body's ability to organize itself efficiently under load. Better posture supports breathing, stability, mobility, and strength, allowing us to perform tasks with less strain and greater effectiveness.The Body Adapts to RepetitionOne of the most important ideas in the episode is that our bodies constantly adapt to the positions and movements we practice most often. Long hours spent sitting or maintaining limited movement patterns can create restrictions over time. The solution is not occasional exercise alone but regular exposure to healthy movement throughout the day.Play Expands Human CapacityThe discussion closes with a reminder that movement should not always be structured or performance-focused. Play introduces new shapes, challenges, and experiences that help maintain mobility, coordination, and adaptability. Exploration keeps the body learning and developing across all stages of life.Habits, Tools & Mental ModelsDaily Movement AuditRegularly assess how much time you spend sitting, standing, walking, and moving. Awareness is the first step toward meaningful improvement.Position VarietyAvoid remaining in any single position for extended periods. Introduce different postures and movement patterns throughout the day to encourage adaptability.Posture CheckpointsCreate simple reminders to evaluate posture while working, walking, or exercising. Focus on alignment that supports breathing, stability, and efficient movement.Mobility as MaintenanceTreat mobility work as routine maintenance rather than rehabilitation. Consistent practice helps preserve range of motion and movement quality before problems arise.Play-Based MovementIncorporate activities that encourage exploration, balance, coordination, and enjoyment. New movement experiences challenge the body in ways traditional exercise often does not.Become a Member of the Moonshots Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/Moonshots

In Episode 320 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love interviews mortgage entrepreneur and networking strategist Sarah Hubbard on how professionals can boost deal flow through referrals, networking, and relationship-driven business development. Sarah explains why referrals remain one of the most powerful ways to generate trust, shorten sales cycles, and create consistent business opportunities—especially for lawyers, consultants, recruiters, investment bankers, financial advisors, and other professionals operating in the “deal space.” She shares practical strategies for finding the right networking rooms, building authentic relationships, and creating systems that turn conversations into long-term referral partnerships. The episode also explores Sarah's MAP Framework for effective networking: Mindset & Intention, Authentic Presence, Precise Messaging, and Purposeful Follow-Through.

In Episode 319 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with Yuliya LaRoe, founder of Leadwise Group, about why partner development has become a strategic imperative for law firms. Yuliya explains that today's legal market demands far more than technical excellence—partners are now expected to be leaders, business developers, managers, and culture builders. As law firms face increasing client sophistication, generational friction, retention challenges, and commercialization of the practice of law, firms can no longer assume that successful lawyers will automatically become effective leaders. Instead, firms must intentionally develop partners through structured leadership, management, and business development training. The conversation explores how firms can create partner development cohorts, competency frameworks, and long-term leadership pipelines that improve retention, strengthen culture, and help income partners progress toward equity partnership. Yuliya also breaks down why business development is a learnable system—not simply networking—and why people management skills are now one of the most critical capabilities for law firm leaders. For managing partners, practice group leaders, legal recruiters, and lawyers seeking long-term growth, this episode delivers a practical roadmap for developing stronger law firm partners and future rainmakers.

David Shulman, MD, joins us on OsteoBites to discuss the newly opened phase 1/2 study to evaluate LNTH-2403, a LRRC15-targeted radiopharmaceutical, in patients with relapsed/refractory osteosarcoma.For many years, LRRC15 has been known to be an important target in osteosarcoma. A prior study showed a strong signal of activity of an LRRC15-targeted therapy in osteosarcoma; however, the development of the agent was not pursued. There is now a novel LRRC15-targeting radiopharmaceutical that has entered clinical trials for patients with osteosarcoma, and Dr. Shulman will provide an overview of this newly opened trial.Dr. David Shulman is a Pediatric Oncologist and clinical/translational researcher at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where he also serves as an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. As the Director of the DFCI AYA Sarcoma Program, he focuses his clinical practice on the specialized care of adolescents and young adults (AYA) diagnosed with sarcomas. His research program, which has received support from the NIH and Harvard Catalyst, is dedicated to improving patient outcomes through the investigation of novel therapeutic approaches and the utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a clinical biomarker. He leads a national liquid biopsy study for patients with Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, known as the LEOPARD study.
In Episode 318 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with communications strategist Alejandra Ramirez about one of the most overlooked drivers of successful mergers and acquisitions: communication. In this episode, Alejandra explains why 75–90% of M&A deals fail and how poor internal communication, lack of trust, and unclear messaging create confusion, disengagement, and talent loss during high-stakes transitions. She breaks down the difference between “big C” communication (leadership alignment and strategic direction) and “little c” communication (day-to-day operational clarity), and why both are essential for preserving culture, performance, and long-term deal value. The conversation also explores practical M&A integration strategies, including leadership alignment, communication planning, pulse surveys, employee trust-building, manager messaging frameworks, and how to prevent the “vacuum of uncertainty” that fuels rumors and disengagement. Alejandra shares actionable guidance for law firms, private equity groups, investment bankers, and corporate dealmakers who want smoother integrations, stronger employee retention, and better post-merger performance. If you are involved in mergers, acquisitions, succession planning, or organizational growth, this episode delivers a practical roadmap for avoiding common M&A pitfalls before they damage culture and profitability.

In Episode 317 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with Pam Meissner of Cathedral Capital about “Exit Readiness for Law Firm Founders” and what it truly takes to prepare a law firm for a successful merger, acquisition, or succession transition. Pam explains why many law firm founders struggle emotionally after selling their firms and why exit planning is about far more than valuation—it's about reducing owner dependency, building scalable systems, and preparing for life after the transaction. She outlines how buyers evaluate firms, including recurring growth, profitability, operational systems, team stability, and whether the business can function without the founder at the center of everything. The conversation also dives into the rise of private equity and managed service organizations (MSOs) in the legal industry, including what makes a firm attractive to buyers and the most common mistakes founders make when preparing for a sale. Pam shares practical strategies such as stepping away from the firm for 60–90 days to identify operational weaknesses, improving team retention, creating systems for business development, and increasing EBITDA and firm valuation over time. For law firm founders thinking about succession planning, mergers, or maximizing firm value before an exit, this episode delivers a highly practical roadmap for building a sellable law firm.

In Episode 316 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with executive coach and business strategist Ivy Slater about how professional services firms can create high-impact strategic plans that drive real growth. Ivy breaks down the structure of an effective strategic planning retreat, including who should attend, how to facilitate productive conversations, and why firms must think beyond short-term goals to create a long-term vision. She introduces her expanded “SWOTT” framework—strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and trends—and explains how leadership teams can use it to align finance, marketing, business development, and people strategy into one unified growth plan. The conversation also explores common strategic planning mistakes that derail firms, including lack of accountability, reactive leadership, and leadership teams getting trapped “in the weeds” of day-to-day administration instead of focusing on growth. Ivy shares practical guidance on implementation, quarterly accountability meetings, leadership cadence, and why numbers tell the real story of a firm's future. For managing partners, law firm leaders, consultants, and professional services executives, this episode delivers a practical roadmap for strategic planning, leadership alignment, operational clarity, and sustainable firm growth.

The core message: the fundamentals of rainmaking are universal—you just need to apply them intentionally.

In Legal Episode 314 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with Frank Koranda of Polsinelli about the power of niching deeply—and how building a focused, specialized practice can transform client development, deal flow, and firm growth. Frank shares how his firm moved beyond a general M&A offering to create a dedicated private equity M&A practice, aligning talent, messaging, and strategy around a clear differentiator. The result: stronger positioning in the market, faster deal execution, and deeper trust with clients who value specialization over generalization. The conversation also explores how niching impacts referrals, recruiting, and long-term client relationships. By clearly communicating their expertise and focusing on a specific ecosystem—private equity funds, investment bankers, and portfolio companies—the firm increased visibility and repeat work. Frank breaks down practical lessons for professionals looking to niche down: identify your strengths, eliminate distractions, and commit to a bold, differentiated strategy. For lawyers and professional service providers seeking sustainable growth, this episode is a blueprint for building authority through specialization.

Cuando Rusia invadió Ucrania en febrero de 2022 pocos en Europa imaginaban que cuatro años después serían la Unión Europea y el Reino Unido los principales sostenes de aquel desventurado país. La respuesta inicial fue muy rápida, pero más en el terreno declarativo. Los europeos aprobaron una batería de sanciones, congelaron de 210.000 millones de euros en activos rusos depositados en Bélgica, se activó el Fondo Europeo de Apoyo a la Paz y se abrieron a acoger a millones de refugiados. El Reino Unido, recién salido del Brexit, asumió desde el principio un papel de vanguardia. El compromiso europeo ha pasado desde entonces por cuatro fases. La primera fue la de las sanciones y ayuda económica de emergencia. La segunda la de la institucionalización del apoyo militar. Polonia y los países bálticos vaciaron sus arsenales de la época soviética y Alemania autorizó la entrega de los tanques Leopard 2. La tercera, ya en 2024, orbitó en torno a la entrega de armas de largo alcance como los Storm Shadow británicos, los SCALP franceses y los F-16 de la una coalición nórdica. La cuarta fase, la actual, comenzó con el regreso de Trump a la Casa Blanca en enero del año pasado y la suspensión de la ayuda militar estadounidense. Europa se vio obligada a multiplicar su esfuerzo. La ayuda militar ha crecido un 70%, se ha puesto en marcha ReArm Europe, un programa de 800.000 millones de euros, y el instrumento SAFE, dotado de 150.000 millones adicionales para préstamos de defensa. En la cumbre de La Haya los aliados acordaron también elevar el gasto en defensa al 5% del PIB para 2035. Las contribuciones han sido desiguales. Alemania es hoy el primer donante europeo con compromisos cercanos a los 28.000 millones. Polonia, los bálticos y los nórdicos han contribuido en proporciones récord respecto a su PIB. Francia ha sido más modesta. Hungría, que bloqueó reiteradamente paquetes de ayuda, cambiará de gobierno en breve. El Reino Unido ha comprometido hasta 21.800 millones de libras. Juntos, Alemania y el Reino Unido, representan dos tercios de la ayuda militar proveniente de Europa Occidental. El instrumento estrella ahora es el Ukraine Facility (de 50.000 millones), al que se han sumado el préstamo G7 ERA y, en diciembre, el Ukraine Support Loan de 90.000 millones para el periodo 2026-2027. Se ha descartado, eso sí, la incautación directa de los activos rusos congelados ante las reticencias del primer ministro belga. ¿Será todo esto suficiente? Hay disparidad de opiniones. Unos insisten en que la previsibilidad en la ayuda, el incremento en la producción de municiones y una mayor cohesión política bastará para que Ucrania resista. Otros creen que no es tan sencillo, que Europa es muy dependiente de capacidades militares estadounidenses, que existe cierto cansancio entre la opinión pública europea y que, aunque la industria de defensa europea ha mejorado sustancialmente, aún sigue siendo demasiado pequeña. Se abren tres escenarios posibles. El primero es que se mantenga del statu quo en forma de una guerra de desgaste. El segundo es que se congele el conflicto tras un alto el fuego más o menos precario. El tercero es que el frente termine colapsando total o parcialmente a lo largo del próximo año. La guerra de Ucrania se ha convertido, de facto, en la guerra de Europa. La novedad es que, por primera vez en su historia, la UE está actuando como un auténtico actor estratégico prácticamente autónomo.

In Episode 313 of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with Fin Wycherley, founder of Supersized Media, about how professionals can build a consistent client pipeline through online connections. Fin explains why relying on referrals, directories, and traditional networking is no longer enough—and how lawyers, consultants, and executives can use personal branding and high-value content to become “sales magnets” online. Instead of generic updates, the key is creating content that directly addresses client pain points, educates the market, and positions you as the go-to expert in your niche. The conversation dives into practical strategies for building visibility and converting attention into business, including how to create content that gets shared, leverage multiple platforms (LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok), and turn engagement into real opportunities through lead capture and nurturing. For professionals who want to move from unpredictable referrals to a scalable business development system, this episode provides a clear framework for building authority, visibility, and a predictable pipeline of inbound opportunities.

Leopard seals are often seen as one of the most dangerous predators in Antarctica, but what if that story is incomplete? Leopard seals play a critical role in the Antarctic food web, influencing populations of penguins, fish, and even other marine mammals. Their behavior, hunting patterns, and distribution are shaped by sea ice, climate change, and shifting ecosystems. Yet despite their importance, we still know surprisingly little about how their populations are changing. In this episode, we explore how leopard seals fit into the Antarctic ecosystem, why their role is more complex than most people realize, and what their future might look like as the ocean continues to change.

Another episode from the vault and this one is absolute GOLD in my opinion. I called Rex Bowers a few years ago and sprung this podcast on him. We dove deep into the leopard cur history and Rex gives us a peak into the background of those first dogs registered. We even dug a little into the history of several other breeds. I have had multiple other conversations with Rex since recording this podcast and always enjoy them. He is such a wealth of information.
