This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Zorikh Lequidre to revisit Shazam! Fury of the Gods. We break down the sequel's mythic swing, its tonal tightrope between family comedy and divine spectacle, and whether this lightning strike deserved a brighter fate at the box office.

Complex Character History and Naming (02:43) The Shazam character has undergone multiple renamings, now sometimes called "The Captain" to differentiate from original versions. Comics have introduced variants like Mary Marvel and Junior (Freddie Freeman's hero name) to expand the lore. The character's fluctuating comic presence, with cancellations and restarts, impacts fan engagement and continuity. Zorak's project, Captain Marvel Culture, explores these variants in cultural and historical contexts, highlighting the character's societal relevance. Actor and Fan Perspectives on Shazam (07:30) Sam Alicea shared her positive cosplay experience as Mary Marvel, emphasizing the character's wholesome reception in fandom. Both Sam and Case Aiken noted that the first Shazam movie was colorful and fun, appealing to casual viewers with good pacing and humor. Case's personal connection to the character goes back to childhood superhero creations, reinforcing the deep fan roots. The first film balanced the youthful and superhero personas well, unlike the sequel where the older cast created dissonance. Challenges with Sequel Timing and Casting (14:00) The four-year gap between the first and second Shazam movies caused problematic aging of the cast, making the characters less believable as teenagers. The COVID-19 pandemic limited crowd scenes, affecting the movie's atmosphere and fight sequences, leading to a "COVID movie" feel with socially distanced extras. The sequel's timing made character maturity inconsistent, with Zachary Levi's older age conflicting with immature superhero behavior, reducing audience sympathy. The lack of continuity in character growth and the absence of younger kid scenes weakened the family dynamic established in the first film. Plot, Powers, and Mythological Elements The movie's story and mythological adaptations were discussed, focusing on the Daughters of Atlas and their powers, plus how mythology was reinterpreted (28:58). Invented Mythology and Powers of Atlas' Daughters (29:00) The film introduced three daughters of Atlas, a creative deviation from classical mythology that was accepted as a fun concept. Helen Mirren's character uses force fields and telekinesis, Lucy Liu's character employs "chaos" powers resembling mind control, and Rachel Zegler's character has axis-based powers, visually impressive but not well explained. The powers were often scene-dependent rather than consistent, especially Helen Mirren's varying abilities. The dome barrier served as a plot device to isolate the final fight and prevent intervention from other heroes, a trope common in superhero films. Mythology vs. Comic Lore (31:33) The movie used traditional Shazam power origins (Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury) rather than newer comic variations. Discussion considered linking the characters to the broader DC mythos, such as the New Gods, but the film stuck to simpler concepts. The film's magic and powers were occasionally connected to Dungeons & Dragons references, reflecting the script's mix of fantasy influences. The casting of iconic actors like Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu added gravitas despite the powers being plot-driven. Narrative and Visual Critiques of Powers and Effects (35:00) The dome and powers' visual effects felt forced or inconsistent, serving more as story contrivances than meaningful world-building. The chaotic power, mainly mind control, lacked thematic clarity despite being the most consistent. The movie struggled to integrate powers into the plot logically, often introducing new abilities at convenience moments. The limited impact of the dome on the city was noted, with little attention to realistic consequences of such an event. Family Dynamics and Character Development A major theme was how the sequel mishandled the Shazam family dynamic, focusing too much on superhero forms and not enough on the kids' human sides (40:00). Underused Supporting Characters and Forced Representation (40:00) Pedro's gay reveal felt forced due to minimal screen time and lack of character development. The less prominent kids, especially Eugene and Pedro, were overshadowed by their superhero forms, weakening emotional engagement. Darla remained the heart of the family, carrying much of the emotional weight and humor, consistent with the first film. The sequel relied heavily on superhero personas rather than showing genuine child characters, harming the family's relatability. Mismatch of Actor Ages and Character Portrayals (46:30) The aging cast, particularly Zachary Levi, struggled to convincingly portray teenage characters, making immature behavior less palatable. The lack of contrasting younger versions of Billy and other kids reduced the dynamic tension present in the original movie. The sequel missed chances to explore Billy's growth and his struggles with leadership and abandonment issues meaningfully. Sam noted the film's good attempt to show Billy's fear of aging out of foster care as a motivation, but this was not fully developed. Lost Opportunities for Emotional Payoff (53:00) The film failed to create a satisfying emotional journey for Billy, especially regarding his insecurities and leadership challenges. The family's support was underutilized in key moments, leaving Billy's character arc feeling incomplete. The sequel lacked the sense of belonging and acceptance that made the first film's family dynamic resonate. Case and Sam suggested that a powerful second-act scene showing Billy's vulnerability and the family's encouragement was needed to strengthen the story. Critique and Proposed Fixes for the Sequel The panel proposed several realistic improvements to the sequel's structure, pacing, and character focus to enhance its emotional and narrative impact (56:00). Strengthening the Second Act and Family Bonding (56:00) Add scenes where the kids remain in their human forms to highlight their vulnerabilities, creating richer character moments. Insert a confrontation scene where Billy expresses frustration at the family's lack of unity, followed by reassurance from siblings. Shorten or remove the cringy Wonder Woman date scene to maintain tone and pacing. Show more of the lesser-used kids at school, depicting their struggles balancing normal life and superhero identities. Improving the Final Battle with the Dragon (31:30, 56:00, 01:32:50) Make the fight more dynamic by having Billy repeatedly say "Shazam" to power up the staff, requiring him to transform back to human form intermittently. Introduce stages in the fight where the hero tries different tactics, fails, then devises a winning plan. Include moments of vulnerability where Billy dodges attacks and avoids damage, adding tension and realism. Use the environment inside the dome better, possibly including some civilians or other stakes, if COVID protocols allow. Enhancing Character Scenes and Emotional Arcs (01:40:00) Show the kids' defeat when Helen Mirren's character escapes by turning back into their child forms, emphasizing their youth and fallibility. Add a scene where Billy admits to failure and receives encouragement from his siblings, reinforcing the family theme. Develop more natural, character-driven moments such as a school scene involving Skittles, tying in humor and personality. Streamline the plot to reduce the number of major events, allowing more screen time for character interactions and growth. Long-Term Franchise Vision: TV Series Format (01:14:30, 01:49:00) The panel agreed a TV series would better suit the story, allowing the actors to age naturally and explore the characters in depth. Proposed dividing the cast so Billy, Mary, and Freddie attend college while the younger kids remain in high school, creating parallel storylines. This approach resembles a "Happy Days with superpowers" format, supporting gradual character evolution and maintaining audience engagement. The TV format would also allow passing powers to new kids as the original characters grow up, ensuring franchise longevity. Production Context and External Influences The discussion recognized COVID-19's major impact on production, release timing, and overall movie quality, affecting creative decisions and execution (14:00, 01:52:00). COVID-19 Pandemic Effects (14:00) Production delays and social distancing protocols limited extras and crowd scenes, affecting the movie's atmosphere and fight choreography. The necessity of a smaller dome and fewer characters in scenes was a direct result of COVID restrictions. The four-year gap between movies was unplanned but forced by the pandemic, causing casting and story continuity issues. These factors contributed to the movie feeling disjointed and less cohesive compared to the first film. Script and Franchise Challenges (25:00) Multiple script rewrites were needed after Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam was spun off into his own movie, forcing major plot changes. The absence of Black Adam as a villain removed a key expected antagonist, weakening the sequel's threat level and fan expectations. The movie was released amid DC's shifting cinematic universe plans, reducing the likelihood of future sequels or franchise expansion. Despite plans to connect with the Justice Society and tease Mr. Mind, these elements remained unresolved, signaling franchise uncertainty. Casting and Political Context (01:06:00) Gal Gadot's performance as Wonder Woman was noted as uneven and disconnected from the main cast's energy. The panel acknowledged Gadot's political stances have affected her reception among some fans, adding complexity to her role's acceptance. The awkwardness of Billy's romantic scene with Wonder Woman was criticized for tone and appropriateness, detracting from character coherence. Zachary Levi's personal controversies and public persona complicated audience reception of his performance, especially given the film's tonal demands.

In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to recover lost opportunities in areas like our marriages, health, and finances by learning to enter God's rest. He teaches us that this means stopping our own striving and instead receiving from the finished work of Christ, trusting that God has already provided everything we need for victory. To make this practical, Pastor Jack shows us how to move God's promises from our head to our heart by connecting a scriptural truth with the feeling of what it would be like to experience that breakthrough, releasing faith and allowing God's grace to flow freely in our lives.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!

Disobedient Generations and Lost Opportunities - Matthew 21:33-465 G Living – Do everything you do…For the Glory of GodFor the Good of your fellow manTo get the Gospel to non-believers For the Growth of your fellow ChristiansWith a Grateful heartToday we are going to see Jesus tell another parable story that rebuked the unrepentant generation that failed to give Jesus the glory due His name.Matthew 21:33-46 They would have instantly recognized the vineyard as a reference to Israel, and the Master of the house as God Himself (Isaiah 5:1-7).God has every right to expect all of us to give Him the glory He deserves, and be both faithful and fruitful stewards of what He Has entrusted to us.In Jesus' story the servants are obviously the prophets that God had sent to His people, many of whom were mistreated by people who didn't want to hear and obey the messages God sent through the prophets.Long ago at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the Heir of all things, through whom also He created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. - Hebrews 1:1-3Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush (daka-H1792) Him; He has put Him to grief; When His soul makes an offering for guilt, He shall see His offspring; He shall prolong His days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. Out of the anguish of His soul He shall see and be satisfied; by His knowledge shall the Righteous One, My Servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and He shall bear their iniquities. - Isaiah 53:10-11It is so sad that that generation missed Jesus their cornerstone. It is sadder still that for 2,000 years Jews have still been looking for the Messiah who has already come. It will be equally sad if today you despise Jesus and build on another foundation (Acts 4:5-12; 1 Peter 2:4-10)That generation lost the opportunity for national Israel, but the day will come when they Israel will turn to Jesus in mass and be fully restored. In the meantime the gospel goes forth to everyone, Jew and Gentile alike (Acts 1:6-8).For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite (daka-H1792) and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite (daka-H1792). - Isa. 57:15The religious leaders were supposed to bring God glory through their work in Israel. We are to bring God glory through our work in the church and in the world's “seven mountains of cultural influence” – family, church, government, education, media, arts/entertainment, and business.Jesus has delegated to us His power of attorney to represent Him while He is gone! How do you know you are doing it well? If you are doing what Jesus would do it if He was here, you are being faithful and fruitful!

Welcome to the Gnar Couch Podshow, where mountain biking meets questionable life choices and creative chaos, and somehow, women still agree to come on the show. If you're after a polished podcast, you're in the wrong place. This is a podshow, which basically means we're like a podcast, but with more bad decisions and a few conversations you probably shouldn't play at work (or around your mom). Picture the world's sketchiest couch, then imagine us inviting up-and-coming freeride star Janelle Soukup to sit on it. That's our version of hospitality. (And that's probably why she called in.) On this episode, we're serving up a three-course meal of send: first, we celebrate the rise of women's freeride, featuring Janelle's stacked resume and her invite to the 2025 Rampage lineup. Next, we try to get deep (for about three seconds) on the mental gymnastics it takes to launch yourself off a sheer cliff, sprinkling in advice that could either inspire your dreams or or kill you. Finally, we wrap things up with our signature back-end chaos: a mix of questionable humor and reminders that we are all very bad at adulting.

Oh Lord Restore All My Lost Opportunities

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes Mike Kennealy, Republican candidate for Governor of Massachusetts. Mike is a lifelong Massachusetts resident, business leader, and father. With nearly two decades of experience in private equity and twelve years devoted to public service, Mike's impressive career includes serving in Governor Baker’s cabinet as Secretary of Housing and Economic Development, as well as turning around the Lawrence Public Schools. Mike has also served as finance chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party and worked with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston to improve outcomes for youth in some of the state’s most underserved communities. Jennifer and Mike dive into the realities of political leadership in Massachusetts, highlighting what makes New England Republicans unique and contending with the state’s overwhelming Democratic dominance. Mike shares his vision for achieving equal opportunity across Massachusetts, shining a light on entrenched achievement and life expectancy gaps between communities just miles apart. They discuss controversial topics, including the state’s multi-billion dollar migrant crisis, leadership shortcomings in the current administration, and the failure to address root causes of inequity despite progressive rhetoric. Mike contrasts his “coalition-builder” approach with what he sees as Beacon Hill's passivity, emphasizing the urgent need to listen, innovate, and act on behalf of all residents. The conversation challenges sound bite politics and calls for real solutions to ensure Massachusetts isn’t just number one in averages, but in opportunities for every community. “I made a conscious decision when I was 45 that I was going to leave the business world behind and dedicate the rest of my days professionally to public service here in Massachusetts.” ~ Mike Kennealy This week on Political Contessa: The unique identity and priorities of New England Republicans The critical achievement and life expectancy gaps between different Massachusetts communities Mike’s leadership experiences: from private equity to turning around Lawrence Public Schools Failures of the current state leadership to address the crisis and seize the opportunity How Massachusetts loses young people due to unaffordable costs and limited opportunities The state’s costly response to the migrant crisis and its impact on local communities Initiatives to ensure equal educational and workforce opportunities for all residents The importance of coalition-building and listening across party lines Connect with Mike Kennealy: Campaign Website Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Lord Restore All My Lost Opportunities - Yoruba Prayer

Luke 13:22-35 (The Narrow Door: Lost Opportunities and Lasting Regrets) - Phil Adams by Park Community Church

The Braves will have to bounce back in a big way after the disappointing result, as the Mets are only 1 game out of the final wild card spot held by the Braves.

In this episode of Facing the Dark, we delve into the important topic of gender identity and guiding young people in challenging times. Dr. Kathy expresses anger and sadness about the treatment of women like Riley Gaines, who lost opportunities due to someone else's gender identity. Riley Gaines, a University of Kentucky swimmer, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, claiming that the NCAA forced her and her female swimmers to share a locker room with a male swimmer who identified as female, without their consent. This raises questions about creating inclusive and safe spaces for children to thrive in, which is a concern for many parents. Dr. Kathy provides some helps to guide children with greater confidence in the reality God has created. The episode explores the need for clear definitions and protection for the dynamics of being a boy or a girl, as well as the challenges posed by ongoing cultural discussions.

At FIT, we believe teachers should begin with the end in mind and reverse engineer their career.  Knowing your projected SS, pension and other retirement numbers will help shine the light to a bright retirement.  What IF you have never taken the time to do this? What IF you have ZERO dollars invested for retirement and no nest egg for your future? In this episode, Rich shows us how a teacher with no retirement and debt can head into retirement and STILL be successful.  No, it wasn't due to prior "Bridge" planning like a 457(b) or rental real estate...Rich used his skills as a teacher, retired at 50 and started an entirely new career.

Our cities are full of ghost projects. Lost opportunities. Potentialities that could have prioritized safe streets or public health. Transit station with homes for cars, instead of a neighborhood for people. Streets that prioritize speeding cars, instead of safety and sustainable mobility. But the reality of our cities, at least in the U.S. – is that we don't realize those opportunities. Often, these ghost projects were eliminated or watered down to preserve single family zoning or parking. We waste these opportunities - opportunities to make our cities better, more equitable, healthier... And we do it largely to preserve a deeply unsustainable and inequitable status quo. And so… I see ghost projects. I see dead districts. They haunt my dreams. They're… everywhere.

This week on Antiwar Radio, Scott talks with retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor about the war in Ukraine. From the beginning, Macgregor has been very critical of the Biden Administration's myopic insistence on escalation. Now, it appears that a divide has broken out within Washington about how much further the U.S. and NATO can go. Scott and Macgregor discuss this evolving dynamic and reflect on all the missed chances for peace that would have left Ukraine with more territory and fewer lives lost. Now, with what appears to be a massive Russian offensive in the works, Macgregor says the west must put an end to the war as soon as possible.  Discussed on the show: “Playing at War in Ukraine” (The American Conservative) “It's Time to Bring Russia and Ukraine to the Negotiating Table” (New York Times) “Will Biden Gamble on a Ukraine Coalition?” (The American Conservative) Scott's interview with Lyle Goldstein Why is Ukraine the West's Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer Douglas Macgregor, Col. (ret.) is a senior fellow with The American Conservative, the former advisor to the Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, a decorated combat veteran, and the author of five books.

There's too much of competition we all know, and there's unbelievable amount of rejections within the competition. What we forget is that we are not the only ones who are working for our dreams and opportunities. There's nothing called as missed opportunities since you know that you have given your hundred percent for it. We need to also understand that there are some parameters which are never under our control. Regret should be held only when you don't give or work hard at all. #Opportunities #Regrets

It's Friday afternoon, the clock is ticking, and your fingers are jumping from one key to the other. You're working furiously, your five o'clock deadline is nearing, and the weekend is just around the corner. But you've still got so much to do and less than an hour to finish. You silently curse yourself for not starting sooner. So, what happened? How did you end up running out of time? Well, there were hours you spent scrolling through social media, your multiple coffee breaks, re-reading emails, and completing tasks that you could've started later. Procrastination haunts all of us. We're all guilty of procrastinating and saying, 'I'll do it later,' or 'I'll start in a while.' But the negative impacts of procrastinating can steal dreams, cause missed opportunities, and even destroy lives. Some people are lucky enough to pinpoint their tendency to procrastinate and how much it holds them back. Let's discuss how procrastination can wreck your dreams and how you can combat it. The Origins of the Procrastination is the Thief of Time Often, Charles Dickens gets the credit for coining the term 'procrastination is the thief of time.' However, the truth is that Dickens popularized the proverb by putting it into the mouth of Mr. Micawber. In 1850, Mr. Micawber said, 'My advice is, never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time.' While Mr. Micawber became a widely quoted character for pronouncing the proverb' procrastination is the thief of time,' he was hardly original. In reality, the phrase is an adage created by English writer Edward Young. Young wrote a 10,000-line poem known as 'The Complaint' or 'Night-Thoughts on Life, Death, and Immortality or simply 'Night-Thoughts.' In this extensive poem, the poet muses over death over the courses of nine' nights,' i.e., nine sections. Young's use of the proverb 'procrastination is the thief of time' goes beyond caution against putting things off. Instead, the poet suggests that time wasted procrastinating one thing is time wasted doing nothing of any consequence. It goes to say that if we delay filling our taxes by arranging our spices alphabetically, the fact remains that we should have done something of far more importance. How Does the Proverb Describe 'Procrastination'? Edward Young describes a procrastinator as someone who procrastinates in doing things at the right time and finds themselves in situations where they had little time to complete the task. Typically, people procrastinate because: • The task is long and complicated. • The activity is tedious and not important. • They prefer doing their pleasurable activities. • They have a careless attitude and believe that nothing wrong will happen if they miss their deadline. • They are over-confident and think that they have enough time/competency to complete the task. • They do it as a result of peer pressure and fear mockery or ridicule if they hand in work early. • They do it due to pure laziness. Why is Procrastination the Thief of Time? 'Procrastination,' deferring a task or putting something off, is the 'thief of time' because you waste time by delaying tasks. This hypothesis potentially embraces two meanings: you are wasting time when you could have accomplished what you need to achieve. And that all procrastination is time-wasting. Let's discuss the top common examples of procrastination: • Someone who spends several days thinking about starting an essential assignment, thus they have to rush to finish work in a hasty and stressful manner. • A person who wastes months before approaching the person they're romantically interested in, thus missing their chance to enter a relationship with them. • Someone who wastes years before starting a project they're passionate about, thus struggling with guilt and shame. • A student who wastes the whole year not studying. According to an insightful study, up to 95% of all people procrastinate to some degree. And with approximately 25% of adults considering procrastination as a defining personality trait, it's no wonder it can be a thief of time that causes various other issues. Another study encompassing over 22,000 employees found that workers in different jobs have different procrastinating habits: ● High Procrastination Jobs- Legal secretaries, library assistants, food servers, sales representatives, and customer service administrators tend to procrastinate the most ● Moderate Procrastination Jobs- Photographers, lawyers, general operation managers, and creative writers often procrastinate ● Low Procrastination Jobs- Chief executives, loan officers, librarians, and economists procrastinate the least Why is Procrastination Bad? Let's take a Closer Look at the Downsides. Procrastination can lead to you missing out on incredible opportunities due to temporary enjoyment. In general, procrastination affects some sectors of your life, such as: • Employment and financial issues • Interpersonal issues • Reduced wellbeing • Worsening of mental and physical health • Delay in getting help • Increased future procrastination • Academic issues Now let's discuss the negative side-effects of procrastination. It can cause: Loss of Time Procrastination makes you realize that you've lost valuable time you could've spent chasing your dreams and achieving your goals. What about Lost Opportunities? Every person I know regretted not taking advantage of an opportunity when it was relevant. In most cases, the underlying cause is procrastination. And the harsh truth is that most opportunities only come by once. Putting Off What Needs to be Done Likely Results in a Poor Product Some people believe that procrastinating motivates them to perform the best. Although it is true for some people, it isn't always the outcome. Completing your essential project at the last minute will probably cause poorer results. What about You Adding Tasks to Other People's Workload No one enjoys getting extra work dumped on them due to another employee's failures. It results in resentment, adds to an employee's workload, and even causes feelings of anxiety. Let's discuss some ways you can stop procrastinating: 1. Make your environment clutter-free and remove distractions to increase your productivity. 2. Arrange some immediate reward you'll receive when you manage to start work. 3. Identify the steps you can take to get started. 4. Figure out what's causing you to procrastinate, think through the causes, and work to resolve them. 5. Keep a prioritized to-do list to avoid forgetting important tasks. 6. Tackle the most challenging task during peak productivity hours. The Bottom Line Procrastination can lead to various academic, employment, financial, and interpersonal issues. Not just this, but procrastination can cause decreased wellbeing, worsen mental health, and make it difficult for you to get appropriate help. Avoid procrastinating and be proactive.

All the way from South Central, I got my guy Ecko kicking it with me on the podcast dropping all types of knowledge, stories, and truth in this week's episode. Find out how he became Freeway Rick Ross's manager, his rise as the local mixtape man in the barbershops to creating his own entertainment company and being behind the scenes of many ventures along the way. (6:00) Mixtape Pirate: When Ecko caught his first case, that was all the motivation he needed to turn up his business acumen. Being in the Law Library taught him brand new business terminology. (17:30) Xclusive Music: From selling music and DVDs in the barbershops, with the help of Fred Walker, Ecko got his first storefront and that place changed the game in his city. Lost Opportunities and Transitions: Little do many people know, Ecko had exclusive access to a well known local venue but that ended due to an ill-advised conversation. Then when his music store essentially became obsolete he had to make some new moves happen for himself. (38:20) Bobby Shmurda/Rap On Trial: Bobby came home and hasn't lived up to his pre-incarceration hype. In the NY Senate politicians work with rappers to pass a law that prevents rapper lyrics to be used against them in court. Is this a great idea? Or simply a way to protect rappers that don't make good decisions? (53:10) Freeway Rick Ross: After being reluctant to meet him, Ecko tells the story of how he became Freeway Rick's road manager. After being gone and traveling the country for the past 5 years, he doesn't regret it one bit. (1:1100) Battle Rap World/Plug: After attending Smack/URL's Super Fight 6 event at the top of the year, Ecko was up to his networking ways and might have something up his sleeve in battle rap culture after spending years in Hip-Hop as an event promoter.

Episode #35 - Winning Back Lost OpportunitiesLost customers can mean a significant loss in revenue for any business. When you lose customers, you not only lose revenues from them, you might end up winning fewer new customers as well. Dissatisfied customers share negative feedback with other customers and discourage prospects from signing up with you. According to Harvard Business Review, dissatisfied customers tell an average of 15 people about a poor service experience, versus 11 people they'll tell about a good experience. And when customers share negative feedback on social media, it reaches thousands of others, pulling down a company's sales and reputation.However, the good news is that winning back lost customers can be a low-hanging fruit says Harvard Business Review. First off, these customers have already shown that they need your offering since they signed up with you in the first place, so they make better candidates than the unknown people on a list that you're prospecting. Secondly, lost customers are those who already know about your company and your brand, so you don't need to explain everything to them all over again. 3 tips in winning back customers or prospects from lost opportunities:1.       Get your team involved to understand learning and development areas2.       Schedule a meeting, either in person or on video with your prospect or customer3.       Be humble and open to different strategies or paths forwardLosing an opportunity, you have been working on for months can be gut-wrenching. But it can also be a potential growth opportunity. Take the time to reflect and analyze.  Understanding why your prospect said “No,” can create a more valuable offer for the prospect and win their interest back, which can help you turn a lost opportunity into a new sales opportunity.Client Segmentation Podcast - Episode #3I would love to hear from you!
