I tried everything to trip up this AI — wrong time zones, "can I meet this weekend," pushing for deal details — and she never cracked. Here's why: she's built to be compliant by design. The second you start talking rates, terms, or returns, she doesn't hesitate, she doesn't pitch — she goes straight to "let's book a call." That's the whole point. Likable, helpful, and squarely inside the lines.
This hour opens with a Dolphins discussion centered around the team's new regime, which Joe says has brought a breath of fresh air and officially moved the organization past the bad vibes of recent years. The conversation quickly turns back to Tua Tagovailoa, with Joe insisting he's moved on while Hollywood isn't fully convinced, leading to debate about Tua's potential future in Atlanta, whether he could realistically win a starting job, and revisiting some of his well-known press conference miscues. The guys also weigh Mike McDaniel's outlook compared to Tua's and which one is more likely to find success moving forward. The discussion then shifts to the NBA and the Knicks, where the Heat-Knicks rivalry, fan behavior, and perceptions of today's Knicks roster are explored, including whether players like Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart make this version of New York more likable despite the intensity of their fan base. The hour wraps with Hollywood's Headlines, featuring Shohei Ohtani's minor knee injury and GOAT debate, ongoing drama surrounding Bill Belichick and UNC involving Jordon Hudson and a public records request, Ben Stiller filming the Knicks' Finals run, Phil Mickelson's reported ban from a golf club, and an Everglades cleanup effort that removed hundreds of invasive Burmese pythons.
Episode 364: The Mindset Shift That Separates Elite Advisors From the Rest In this episode, Coach Joe Lukacs, with 32+ years of experience coaching top financial advisors and adding over $60 billion in assets, breaks down the powerful concept of "blowing up your business." This isn't about burning everything down. It's about giving yourself the gift of a blank-sheet exercise to reinvent, refocus, and scale to the next level. Coach Joe walks you through a practical framework for evaluating every corner of your business, including your revenue gaps, your team, your clients, using the 3+1 scoring system, and your firm's partnerships, all without the pressure of immediate execution. He also shares the mindset shifts that separate advisors who stay stuck from those who double their business in three years. In this episode, you'll learn:
Anthony drops what Ken calls one of the dumbest takes he has ever heard, arguing the Knicks are one of the most likable teams in recent NBA memory thanks to Brunson, KAT, and the way they play hard every night. Ken fires back that rooting for the Knicks means unleashing the biggest, loudest, most insufferable fan base in sports, drawing parallels to how Cleveland felt after helping legitimize Boston in 2004. A caller from Parma settles the debate by power ranking the most hated fan bases in sports, landing the Knicks fans at number one above the Dodgers and Phillies.

The Giants president and CEO joins The Roast to talk about the start of another exciting season of Giants baseball
Let me ask you: What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next closed deal had nothing to do with your product knowledge, your pricing, or your pitch? What if it came down to three simple micro behaviors that most salespeople never bother to master? I was speaking to a group of students and marketing professionals at BYU-Idaho recently, and this question came up in a great way. We were talking about what actually drives buying decisions, and I shared something I believe with every fiber of my being: your prospect’s emotional experience with you as they walk through their decision journey is a more consistent predictor of outcome than any other variable. Read that again. Their emotional experience. Not your features. Not your price. Not your killer deck. People are asking five questions as they go through a decision to buy: Do I like you? Do you listen to me? Do you make me feel important? Do you understand me? Can I trust you? If you can get to yes on all five, you win. And the micro behaviors below are exactly how you do it. Micro Behavior #1: Read the Room Authenticity without respect for your audience is arrogance. I know that sounds blunt, but I mean it. I see salespeople all the time who show up however they want to show up, dressed however they feel like dressing, presenting however they feel comfortable, and then wonder why the deal stalled. Being “authentic” does not mean ignoring your buyer. It means showing up for your buyer. When I was in outside sales doing field work, I had clothes hanging in my car on a hanger. If I was walking into a company where everyone wore suits, I put on a jacket and a tie. If I was walking into a manufacturing plant full of people in polo shirts, I changed in the parking lot. When I sold in Clemson, South Carolina, I wore a Tiger tie. I’m a Georgia Bulldog, but I was in their house. Showing up in Clemson with a Dawgs tie would have cost me the deal before I ever opened my mouth. Reading the room is not fake. It is the highest form of respect you can show another person. It says: I see you. I came prepared for you. You matter to me. That one shift, from showing up for yourself to showing up for your buyer, will change your results immediately. Micro Behavior #2: Shut Up and Listen This is the easiest and fastest way to be likable on the planet, and most salespeople still will not do it. When you give another human being your full, undivided attention and actually listen to them, they fall in love with you. I am not exaggerating. I said this to the students at BYU-Idaho and I will say it here: if you just listen to people, they will do almost anything you ask them to do. Why? Because the most insatiable human need is the need to feel important. To feel like you matter. And when you give someone your full attention, you are filling that need in a way that almost nobody else in their life is willing to do. The mechanics are simple. Ask a great question. Then shut up. Resist every urge to jump in, interject, or start mentally composing your response while they are still talking. Just listen. The reason this is hard is that when our mouth is not moving, we do not feel important. We feel like we are losing ground. We feel like silence is weakness. It is not. Silence and attention are your greatest sales weapons. Micro Behavior #3: Tell Them Their Own Story Back to Them This one is where everything clicks together. Once you have listened, here is what you do when you open your mouth: tell them the story they just told you, back to them, in the context of how you can help them. Let me say that one more time because it is that important. When words come out of your mouth, you should be telling your prospect the story they just told you about themselves and their situation, framed around how you can solve their problem. That is it. That is the whole game. This answers the question every buyer is silently asking: “Does this person actually understand me?” And even if you do not get every detail right, if they can see you are genuinely trying to understand, they will still feel it. They will still think: this person cares about me. When you can read the room, listen without an agenda, and reflect their story back to them in a way that connects to your solution, you have answered yes to four of those five buying questions before you ever ask for anything. One More Thing: The Pipe Is Life I was asked at the end of that BYU-Idaho session: “If you could leave us with one thing, what would it be?” My answer was immediate. The pipe is life. It does not matter how likable you are. It does not matter how well you listen. It does not matter if you have mastered every micro behavior in this post. If you do not have a pipeline, none of it matters. The number one reason salespeople fail is an empty pipeline. And the number one reason pipelines are empty is that salespeople stop doing the prospecting work every single day. Especially on the days you are tired. Especially at the end of the day when you just want to go home. Feed the pipe. Pick up the phone. Make one more call. Join Sales Gravy at our next live workshop event.

I'm headed south on Highway 89 through central Utah, traveling toward Circleville and the childhood home of Robert LeRoy Parker, later known as Butch Cassidy. This episode isn't a fairy tale and it's certainly not a Robin Hood story. This is a clear-eyed look at how a normal kid (Butch Cassidy) from a hardworking Utah family slowly drifted into crime, builds a criminal identity, and eventually became the leader of the Wild Bunch. See some Utah landscape and how it helped shape his behavior, movement, and choice of hideouts. In Profiling Evil style we'll look at his childhood home, his life and an intriguing question as part of Feedback Friday.

Likability matters, and most of us are making this mistake that makes us less likable.The good news? It's a pretty easy fix.This ep will show you how!
NFL head coaches who finish the season with lousy records generally expect there is a good chance of getting the ax. This year, nine of the 32 NFL head coaches have been terminated. That’s 28%! Add one more coach (Mike Tomlin) who voluntarily stepped-down in Pittsburgh after 19 seasons last week. As my old Sesame Street buddy “The Count” might say, “That’s 10! Ten coaching vacancies this year. Ah-ha-ha!!!” The ninth fired head coach in this year’s NFL’s “hit parade” came as a rather big surprise. Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills was fired on Monday after his team’s 33-30 overtime loss at Denver in the second (divisional) round of the NFL playoffs. What did Buffalo’s head coach do wrong to justify being fired? Before the season began, Sean McDermott’s Buffalo Bills were considered one of the top two AFC contenders for this year’s Super Bowl. The team finished the 2025 regular season schedule behind the surprising 14-3 New England Patriots in the AFC East. The Bills still qualified for the NFL playoffs with a not-too-shabby 12-5 record. Buffalo traveled to Jacksonville two weeks ago for an opening round Wild Card game. The Bills scored a dramatic touchdown in the final minute to claim a 27-24 win over the 13-4 AFC South champion Jaguars. Then it was on to Denver last weekend to face the #1 AFC seed Broncos. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen played another outstanding game but his two interceptions and two lost fumbles gave Denver some key scoring opportunities. The Broncos eventually prevailed 33-30 in overtime. Denver will host this week’s AFC Championship game against Buffalo’s rival, New England, at 2PM (CST) Sunday afternoon on CBS. The Buffalo Bills have now appeared in the AFC Playoffs for seven consecutive years. In each season, Buffalo has failed to reach the Super Bowl despite having one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks operating the team’s offense. The 51-year old Sean McDermott had been the defensive coordinator in both Philadelphia and Carolina prior to accepting Buffalo’s top job in 2017. Fans in Buffalo should remember that the Bills had cycled through nine head coaches in the team’s previous 17 seasons since their last playoff appearance in 1999. Coach Sean McDermott quickly rejuvenated the Bills and led them into the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons in Buffalo. Why would Buffalo Bills team owner Terry Pegula fire a coach who led this year’s team into the second round of the playoffs? That’s what many people are trying to figure out this week. Coach Sean McDermott’s Buffalo Bills won nearly 2/3 of its games during his nine seasons with the team. Sure, the Bills failed to make the Super Bowl. There are 30 other NFL teams which can say the same thing in any particular year. Yes, the Bills didn’t have to face and lose another playoff game to Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes for the fourth straight time this season. The Chiefs failed to make the playoffs but they did not fire head coach Andy Reid (yet – ha ha). Sean McDermott has been Buffalo’s only head coach for the eight year NFL career of reigning MVP quarterback Josh Allen. Just remember that Josh Allen can only pass the football to Buffalo Bills receivers who had been selected and signed by the team’s General Manager – not the head coach. This year’s group of wide receivers in Buffalo was rather weak by NFL standards. After wide receiver Khalil Shakir, Buffalo’s two tight ends were ranked #2 and #3 on the team in receiving yardage this season. Nothing against Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, but neither of the Buffalo tight ends possess game-breaking speed. Was it the fault of head coach Sean McDermott that Buffalo did not have a more competitive group of wide receivers on the roster for MVP quarterback Josh Allen to throw the ball to this year? Isn’t the team’s General Manager who is charged with finding and signing the talent for most NFL teams (unless you live in Dallas)? Did the Buffalo Bills fire the team’s General Manager, too? No. In fact, 49-year old General Manager Brandon Beane was just promoted and given the upgraded title of President of Football Operations! Brandon Beane spent 19 years in Charlotte. Beginning in 1998 as an intern, Beane worked his way up to become the team’s Assistant General Manager in 2015. In May, 2017, he was hired by Buffalo to become the Bills’ General Manager. Ironically, head coach Sean McDermott also came to Buffalo via the Carolina Panthers. McDermott had been hired by owner Terry Pegula four months earlier in January, 2017. Apparently, Buffalo’s team owner believed that his new head coach and new General Manager from Carolina would work well together in Buffalo. The duo led the Bills’ return into the NFL playoffs in eight of the past nine years. Buffalo has won ten or more games in seven consecutive seasons. Should the credit go to the team’s GM (Brandon Beane) and/or the team’s head coach (Sean McDermott)? Buffalo’s owner just fired a successful coach after his team lost to Denver Let that one sink in. Terry Pegula said that he became so negatively affected seeing the faces of his football team in the locker room following Saturday’s 33-30 overtime loss in Denver that he decided to fire the team’s head coach on Monday. “My decision to bring in a new coach was based on the results of our game in Denver,” said the owner on Wednesday. “I want to take you in the locker room after that game. I looked around. First thing I noticed was our quarterback with his head down, crying. I looked at all the other players. I looked at their faces and our coaches’.” Pegula added, “I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall, year after year. So, I just sensed in that locker room, like, where do we go from here with what we have? And that was the basis for my decision.” Sean McDermott has plenty of company in the “I’ve been Fired” NFL coaches’ club A head coach in the NFL is generally considered to be the face of the franchise in the eyes of the fans and media. Even a grumpy but very successful coach like Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots kept his job as long as the post-season hardware kept coming home. Belichick eventually agreed to step down in New England in 2023 after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles. Likable coaches get the ax, too! Coach Tony Dungy was fired by Tampa Bay after six successful years with the Buccaneers. Much like Sean McDermott in Buffalo, Dungy took over a perpetual loser in Tampa Bay. He quickly rebuilt the team into a playoff regular in four of his six seasons. Tony Dungy was then fired by Tampa Bay after the 2001 season for (yes) failing to advance the team into the Super Bowl. Sound familiar? Fortunately for Tony Dungy, he was quickly hired by the Indianapolis Colts for the following season in 2002. Dungy led the Colts into the playoffs in each of his first four seasons and then won a Super Bowl title in Year #5 with his new team. Having a future Hall-of-Fame quarterback like Peyton Manning certainly helped during Tony Dungy’s time with the Colts. Former Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott will not not remain unemployed for long. Bills owner Terry Pegula is opening his new football stadium this season and wants a fresh start Buffalo opens its shiny new $2 billion football stadium this summer just in time for the Bills’ 2026 football season. Five years ago in 2021, I wrote about Bills owner Terry Pegula. He bought the Buffalo Bills NFL franchise in 2014 for $1.4 billion. His bid was considered more favorable than an offer made by some guy named Donald Trump and his partner Jon Bon Jovi. Seven years after buying the Buffalo Bills, Pegula threatened to move the team south to fast-growing Austin, Texas. He demanded the city of Buffalo, the state of New York, and season ticket holders to pony-up to build a more modern new football stadium for his NFL team. More than 54,000 Buffalo Bills fans have paid from $5,000 to $50,000 to purchase a PSL (personal seat licenses). This PSL only grants the owner the right to purchase a Bills’ season ticket. Let’s assume that an average Buffalo PSL went for $20,000. That would generate more than $1 billion being paid by NFL football fans living in western New York to finance the Bills’ new stadium. Buffalo is ranked #50 nationally in terms of TV market size. It is even smaller than New Orleans at #45. Only Green Bay plays NFL games in a smaller geographic region (#65) than Buffalo. However, the Packers are generally considered to be #38 Milwaukee’s home football team as well. After team owner Terry Pegula’s grandstand play, the Bills have remained in Buffalo because he got his wish. The Buffalo Bills’ new football stadium opens this summer. Terry Pegula’s firing of head coach Sean McDermott this week has created a new media buzz about his team. It will serve to get fans to start thinking about a new future for the Buffalo Bills and help to push back those lingering “What if…?” thoughts from recent playoff losses. The team’s brand new head coach will usher-in a brand new football stadium in 2026. Did I mention that this soon-to-open outdoor football stadium will have 10,000 fewer seats than 52-year old Rich Stadium in suburban Orchard Park? That necessarily means higher prices are coming for Buffalo Bills season tickets, parking, concessions, and stadium merchandise in order to raise revenue to cover the loss of 10,000 football seats beginning this season. Look out, Jerry! You have some competition at the top!!! Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones still retains professional football’s top spot for the title of “NFL’s biggest meddling owner”. Making a big move up the charts this week was Buffalo’s Terry Pegula. Firing your team’s successful head coach based on the owner’s emotional “feel” of the locker room following a tough, overtime second-round playoff loss was a gutsy move, indeed. The Bills’ owner may be considered a local hero by some for keeping the NFL team in Buffalo. But a growing number of western New Yorkers have a different viewpoint. Terry Pegula is just another greedy professional sports franchise owner who successfully coerced fans and governmental entities into financing his new (smaller) football venue at a cost of nearly $2 billion. Jones and Pegula have one other thing in common. Neither Dallas nor Buffalo has appeared in a Super Bowl in more than 30 years. “And the countdown continues!” The post Buffalo Bills Owner Fires…a Playoff Coach? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. So now business owners, I won't embarrass you by asking you to stand up if there's somebody in your business you would need to fire because you would all stand up, but you need to let that person go. Who you say no to on your team is equally as important to who you say yes to on your team. I would rather have a smaller team of high performers than a larger team that has mid or lower performers. High performers don't like low performers. Low performers don't like high performers. Don't put them in the same room. You can find all the research. You put a high performer and a low performer in the same room. A low performer will drag down the high performer 15 to 35% in their productivity, 15 to 35%. You're better off just getting rid of the lower performer. Yeah, but who's gonna answer the phone? Oh, geez, we'll figure that out. Oh yeah, but I don't have anyone to go to the trade show. Oh, so what? Better an empty booth than what you put in that booth, right? Make sure to be, again, award your higher standard people. By the way, I know accountability is a challenge in a lot of businesses. Not when you have high performers. They love scorecards because they're always winning. Accountability only hurts when you're not meeting your goals. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.
What happens when a leader faces a heckler? In the high-stakes world of stand-up comedy, your reputation is made or broken in the seconds it takes to respond. The same is true in the boardroom. In this special Christmas week episode from the archive, Andy Lopata revisits his interview with rising comedy star Athena Kugblenu (Mock the Week, The News Quiz) to uncover the surprising leadership lessons hidden in the comedian's playbook. This isn't just about telling jokes; it's a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and the art of winning over a tough room. Athena shares her journey from a full-time project manager to a celebrated comic, revealing why the single most important skill for success isn't being funny—it's being likable. Discover how to handle difficult audiences with grace, use improvisation to your advantage, and why building a supportive network is the ultimate career hack, even in a fiercely competitive industry. These are the raw, real-world skills every leader needs to command a stage, and a team. Key Takeaways From This Episode What is the #1 skill you need to succeed as a performer that has nothing to do with being funny (and everything to do with leadership)? How do you handle a "heckler" when you realise they aren't trying to be malicious, but are just enjoying your performance too much? What is the simple two-part formula—Acknowledge & Improvise—that can win over any cold or distracted corporate audience? Why is the best feedback you can give not "feedback" at all, but something far more powerful called "feed forward"? What's the hard truth about transitioning to a creative career that the "just believe in yourself" gurus never tell you? 3 Actionable Insights Prioritize Likability Over Everything: Before people will laugh at your jokes or listen to your ideas, they have to like you. In any presentation or meeting, focus first on building genuine rapport and being approachable. Once you're likable, your message has a much greater chance of landing. Acknowledge the Room, Then Improvise: When facing a tough or disengaged audience (like at a corporate awards dinner), don't ignore the situation. Acknowledge what's happening—the dress code, the food, the energy—to show you're present with them. This builds instant connection and gives you permission to improvise, which audiences reward highly. Give "Feed Forward," Not Just a "Sh*t Sandwich": When mentoring someone, avoid the clichéd praise-criticism-praise model. Instead, focus on encouraging potential. Rather than saying "what you did was wrong," try "what you could be doing is even better; talk more about X." This inspires growth without damaging confidence.

What makes people trust you faster, remember your message longer, and say “yes” more often? Behavioral science has the answers. In this episode, AJ and Johnny sit down with behavioral science expert and author Richard Shotton to break down the psychological tactics behind persuasion, trust, and influence that anyone—not just brands—can use. From the power of concrete language to the pratfall effect, messenger bias, social proof, and scarcity hacks, Richard explains why these timeless psychological triggers work just as well in networking and sales as they do in billion-dollar marketing campaigns. Whether you're trying to stand out in a crowded room or get people to take action, these strategies are your edge.

Selling your business won't save you if you're not ready for what comes after, and most founders aren't. Less than 1% of women founders successfully exit their businesses. That story is changing, and Carrie Kerpen is leading the movement. In this episode of Your Next, I sit down with Carrie Kerpen, founder of The Whisper Group and a successful agency exit veteran, to explore how women are rewriting the rules of business, building companies designed to sell, and creating exits that unlock freedom, legacy, and purpose. We go deep into the reality of life after a big sale: the loss of identity, the challenges of integration, and the path to reclaiming power on your own terms. If you've ever wondered what happens after the wire hits, this conversation will change how you think about exits. Press play now, and step into the conversation that could redefine how you see your next chapter. [00:00 – 12:00] The Agency and the Exit Carrie's journey from co-founding Likable to an 8-figure exit How Built to Sell became her roadmap to acquisition Why do women approach exits differently than men [12:01 – 20:00] Life After the Sale The emotional crash that follows even a successful exit The reality of working for “the mothership” after selling Why community and support matter most post-exit [20:01 – 25:00] The 3 Ds + B Every Founder Faces The 3 Ds that threaten every founder: Divorce, Death, and Disability, plus the B: Burnout Why lump sums bring more fear than freedom if you're not prepared How The Whisper Group equips women for the full journey, not just the transaction [25:01 – End] Building a Sellable Business and Lasting Legacy The three biggest mistakes that kill value Carrie's WHISPER framework for creating a sellable business Why legacy is built through resilience, profit, and purpose Key Quotes: “Nobody was really speaking to them in a way that matters.” - Carrie Kerpen “Women-owned businesses, fully female-founded businesses, account for fewer than 1% of total exits.” - Carrie Kerpen Connect with Carrie!

What if joy isn't a mood but a muscle? In this heartfelt, fast-moving conversation, Rachel Awtrey shares how she learned to “nod to hard things without bowing to them" from cayenne-in-the-chili nights and Lego landmines to job loss and grief. She unpacks three kinds of hard days (typical interruptions, long tough seasons, and true tragedies), why we often compare ourselves to an ideal version of ourselves, and how asking for help actually forges your strongest friendships. Along the way, we talk simple practices that change the temperature of your home: taking more meals outside and counting those hours toward the 1000 Hours Outside Challenge, short walks, grounding, ice-rolling for a quick nervous-system reset, and the underrated experience of adult play. If your life is technically “likable” but doesn't feel that way right now, this episode is your permission slip to make some small changes.

Do people like you… but never seem to respect you? In this episode of Social Intelligence, AJ Harbinger and Johnny Dzubak reveal the hidden social trap of being “too agreeable.” While it might seem like the best way to build rapport, research shows that excessive agreeableness actually suppresses your influence, erodes your authenticity, and leads to burnout. You'll learn why likability isn't the goal—and how the Three C Model (Challenge, Curiosity, and Contrast) can transform your conversations into memorable, high-impact interactions that demand attention and build real connection.
