SUMMARY In this conversation, Jeremy and Dov Chelst explore the complexities of training in multiple martial arts styles, the impact of social media on martial arts communities, and the challenges of loyalty to different schools. Dov shares his personal journey, including his experiences with training, competing, and the importance of gratitude in martial arts. The discussion highlights the value of cross-training, the support found within martial arts communities, and the dilemmas faced by practitioners navigating multiple styles. Dov also discusses the complexities of loyalty in martial arts, the challenges of cross-training, and the dynamics of instructor relationships. He reflects on the expectations that come with rank, the social aspects of training, and the importance of understanding one's motivations for practicing martial arts. The discussion also touches on the subjective nature of comparing different martial arts styles and the significance of maintaining a sense of fun in training. Ultimately, Dov emphasizes the need for individuals to know why they train and to make decisions that align with their personal values and goals.   TAKEAWAYS Dov expresses gratitude for the support received during his martial arts journey. Training in multiple styles can enhance understanding and skills. Social media can be a double-edged sword in martial arts communities. Loyalty to a martial arts school can be complicated when training elsewhere. Competing in different styles provides valuable learning experiences. Community support is crucial for personal growth in martial arts. It's important to acknowledge the positive traits of those who challenge us. Training should be accessible and enjoyable, regardless of perfection. Cross-training can help overcome limitations of a single style's curriculum. Martial arts can evoke nostalgia and positive memories from childhood. Loyalty in martial arts can be a complicated concept. It's acceptable to question traditional notions of loyalty. Cross-training can lead to difficult decisions regarding loyalty. Instructor relationships can be complex and require communication. Rank can change expectations and responsibilities in martial arts. Understanding why you train is crucial for personal growth. The debate over which martial art is 'better' is subjective. Fun and enjoyment should be integral to martial arts training. Historical context plays a significant role in martial arts development. Knowing when to leave a martial arts school is important for personal well-being.   To connect with Dov: Facebook   Join our EXCLUSIVE newsletter to get notified of each episode as it comes out!

What if the biggest reason clients and employees stay has nothing to do with pricing, pay, or perks? In this episode, we explore how understanding why each visit matters transforms ordinary pet care into meaningful service. We discuss the difference between simply completing tasks and delivering genuine care, and how giving your team client context changes the way they show up. We also share two practical systems that strengthen both employee engagement and client retention. Together, we'll discover how purpose and feedback create a healthier business for everyone involved. Main topics: Finding purpose behind visits Task quality versus care Client context for teams Feedback strengthens retention Building meaningful systems Main takeaway: "The walk is just the delivery mechanism. The freedom we give families is the product." We're not simply walking dogs or scooping litter boxes. We're giving someone the confidence to travel, attend a wedding, recover from surgery, work a long shift, or finally take the vacation they've been putting off. Every visit represents a person who is trusting us with something deeply important. When our teams understand why they're showing up—not just what they're supposed to do—the quality of care naturally changes. And when we consistently share client feedback with the people who earned it, purpose becomes something they can see, not just hear about. Purpose creates better care. Better care creates stronger relationships. And stronger relationships build businesses that last. Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!

"He picked meaning over transactional maximization. And because of this, Francesco Totti has become the stuff of legend." — Nicky Billou Francesco Totti could have left for Real Madrid. He could have taken the money from AC Milan or Manchester United. He chose Rome instead — every time, for 25 years — and became something no amount of trophy-chasing could have made him: a legend inseparable from the city itself. Nicky draws on Totti's story to make a case that runs deeper than football. In an era that rewards mobility — in sport, in business, in life — choosing full, permanent commitment to one thing is rare. Rarer still is doing it when the alternatives are genuinely better by most measures. Totti had those alternatives. He said no. And the Stadio Olimpico wept when he played his final match. The lesson Nicky draws is clean and direct: the best of you is the most loyal part of you. That is not an argument against opportunity — it's an argument for knowing what you stand for and refusing to let transactionality make that decision for you.

Send us Fan MailApparently, caring is cool again, which is unfortunate because some of us just got really good at pretending not to care. On this episode of Mike & Blaine, we're talking about why effort, enthusiasm, and actually giving a damn are making a massive comeback after years of “too cool to try” corporate apathy, detachment, and fake indifference.We take a deep dive into cringe culture, modern workplace apathy, terrible dating advice, and businesses that act like returning a customer's phone call would somehow ruin their mystique. But beyond the banter, there is a powerful business strategy hidden here: radical effort is your ultimate competitive advantage.In today's crowded market, standard "professionalism" without personality is just boredom wearing a collared shirt. Companies that hide behind slow responses, generic corporate speak, and passive customer service are rapidly losing market share to competitors who demonstrate genuine enthusiasm and care.In this episode, we break down key business tactics and strategic takeaways:Customer Experience (CX) as a Differentiator: Why over-delivering and relentless responsiveness beat playing "hard to get" every single time.Building Authentic Brand Loyalty: How injecting real personality into your marketing turns passive buyers into brand advocates.Culture & Employee Engagement: How to combat disengagement and quiet quitting by building a work environment where taking pride in performance is celebrated.Sales & Strategic Execution: Why caring about your client's outcomes creates trust faster than any polished sales pitch.Grab a cold beer and join us as we ask whether trying hard was ever really the embarrassing part—or if caring is actually the secret weapon your business strategy has been missing.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LouDPrRM9YYLove the show?

Send us Fan MailCatalyst Brands is redefining what it means to build a modern retail portfolio. Formed in early 2025 through the merger of JCPenney, Aéropostale, Brooks Brothers, Lucky Brand, and Nautica, the company has spent the past 18 months bringing together five iconic brands with distinct customer bases and rich histories. Now, the focus is shifting from integration to growth, with loyalty, customer insights, and personalization playing a central role in that strategy.  For Marika Bigler, Vice President of Customer Growth Strategy at Catalyst Brands, the opportunity extends far beyond operational efficiencies. While the merger created opportunities to streamline processes across the organization, the bigger goal is finding new ways to connect customers with more of the company's brands, create more engaging shopping experiences, and deliver greater value across the portfolio. Loyalty is one of the first major steps in bringing that vision to life.Stay connected with Loyalty360!

Nick Goad, BCG's global co-leader for retail merchandising, argues that retail's biggest problem isn't a lack of data, it's the gap between data and real customer understanding. He explains how AI and large language models are finally bridging that divide, making it possible to localize assortment, sharpen pricing, and accelerate product innovation at scale. For leaders wondering where to start, he makes the case for codifying the knowledge already in merchants' heads.What You'll Learn:Retailers have more data than ever, but AI finally gives them the tools to turn it into action merchants can actually trust.The biggest near-term opportunities are in assortment localization, smarter pricing, and AI-accelerated product innovation.The new data advantage for retailers isn't raw data — it's codifying the knowledge already in their merchants' heads.Learn More:BCG's Latest Thinking on the Retail Industry: https://on.bcg.com/4bYoe8xMerch AI by BCGX: https://on.bcg.com/3RxTfJFChapters(0:00) Has Retail Lost Its Personal Touch?(1:13) Serving Customers Before the Digital Age(2:33) The Internet's Impact on Retail(3:11) Does More Data Mean Better Customer Understanding?(4:12) Why Are Retailers Drowning in Complexity?(5:32) What Can AI Do to Help Retailers?(7:02) Will AI Create a New Data Overload?(7:54) What Are Retail Leaders Hopes and Fears for AI?(9:02) Will AI Get Products to the Shelf Faster?(9:57) Will AI Influence Product Design?(10:37) Can AI Create More Personalized Loyalty Programs?(11:34) How Will AI Shape the Shopping Experience?(12:02) Is Physical Retail Here to Stay?(13:36) Will AI Make All Our Shopping Decisions for Us?(14:23) Where Can Retailers Make the Biggest Changes?(15:00) Where Should Retailers Apply AI First?(15:48) What New Data Advantage Can AI Create?Meet the Expert:Nick Goad, BCG Managing Director & Senior Partner: https://on.bcg.com/4wuIlU0Listen to Other Episodes of The So What from BCG podcastPunch Cards, Frequent Flyers, and the Future of Loyalty: https://lnk.to/so-what-BCG-Crouch-Loyalty09YouTube | https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMJgyXjV5gMI9JV-GcF_D1Y6zyf1Eab_0&si=plXqe7-YNzbG56U8Apple | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-so-what-from-bcg/id1591194141Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/2NSVR7qrAyZ4CaGsnknbBk?si=1d846c2af8784923Other platforms | https://lnk.to/so-what-general-show12Follow BCGhttps://www.bcg.com/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/boston-consulting-groupThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

Barry Strauss follows Octavian's advance on Egypt after Actium, securing the loyalty of Eastern kings. Cleopatraattempts to build a new fleet in the Red Sea to escape to India, but her plans are thwarted. In Alexandria, a complex negotiation unfolds as Antony and Cleopatra separately communicate with Octavian, often lying to each other. Antony, increasingly desperate, challenges Octavian to single combat, which is ignored. On August 1, 30 BC, after his troops defect, Antony commits suicide upon hearing a false report of Cleopatra's death. Days later, Cleopatra also commits suicide to avoid being paraded in Octavian's triumph, potentially using a cobra. Octavian immediately secures his power by killing Caesarion, Caesar's young heir, asserting himself as the "one and only son" of Julius Caesar. (7)

The story of the last samurai is one of the greatest tales of honor, courage, and sacrifice ever told. In this episode of the Willie Jackerson Experiment, I explore the fascinating history behind the warriors who stood against the tide of change as Japan entered the modern age.This episode also became one of my favorite creative projects. I sat down with my 12-string guitar and recorded a simple melody that captured the emotion I was looking for. I then brought that original recording into Suno Pro and made my own original song to create an epic Asian-inspired melodic death metal anthem. The result is a powerful soundtrack that reflects the spirit of the samurai's final stand—blending crushing riffs, traditional Japanese influences, and cinematic storytelling. I also used a track by Sabaton called Shyroyama to showcase this historic event. Researching this episode taught me just how remarkable the samurai truly were. Their unwavering commitment to Bushidō, their loyalty, and their willingness to sacrifice everything for honor left a lasting impression on me. It reminded me that some ideals are worth preserving, even as the world changes around us.If you enjoy history, heavy metal, and hearing how original music is brought to life, this episode is for you.⚔️ Honor. Loyalty. Sacrifice. One final battle.

They Are Who We Think They Are Chef Anthony watched a Simon Sinek clip and couldn't let it go for a week. The premise: if you think your young staff is entitled, you will treat them like they're entitled — and from that point on, everything they do becomes evidence. The label does the work. You stop leading and start confirming. Dave, Brian, and Anthony sit with that one for the full episode. The uncomfortable part isn't that the workforce changed. It's that the workforce we're complaining about was raised by people our age — and that the way most of us learned to run a kitchen is aging out from under us in real time. IN THIS EPISODE - The self-fulfilling label: how "entitled" becomes a barrier you build around an employee's growth without realizing it - The raise transaction got reversed. We were taught prove it, then get paid. They're saying pay me, then I'll do it. Neither side thinks the other is negotiating in good faith. - Loyalty is asymmetrical: organizations expect two weeks' notice from employees they'd terminate the same afternoon - Latchkey leadership — why operators who grew up on "I'll give you something to cry about" default to low empathy, and what that costs on the line - The pendulum: pre-pandemic you could fire someone for blinking wrong, then came the years of absorbing anything, and now something closer to balance - "Your way of doing things is most likely not relevant anymore." The line that stung, and the operators who are still running a model built for an environment that no longer exists. - The door-slam raise demand — instant termination or coaching opportunity? Anthony's answer at 35 versus his answer at 46. - Approach matters: why "I need a raise or I'm quitting" gets a defensive response, and "what would I need to take on to earn more?" gets a real conversation - Dave's kid plays zero innings in the field, and Dave says nothing to the coach — the difference between protecting a young person and coaching one - The other side of the balance: you can't spend your whole career apologizing for the job you have to offer PRACTICE TIPS 1. Pause. From Jay Shetty's Think Like a Monk — between the stimulus and your reaction, build in a deliberate beat. When someone kicks your office door in demanding money, your instant reaction is defense. The pause is where you decide what actually gets you a good outcome. 2. Print the roster. Sit down with every name, what they're paid, and what they actually produce. The employee who barges in has usually been stewing for months — and sometimes they're right, which is the version you can still fix. 3. Build the rubric. Turn qualitative into quantitative. Rank your staff 1-10 on the attributes that matter to your operation. It's tedious the first time and clarifying every time after. 4. Get in front of it. Annual or quarterly reviews exist so the pay conversation happens on your calendar instead of theirs. 5. Ask, don't tell. "You're entitled and you were raised poorly" ends the conversation. "What would you do differently here?" starts one. 6. Keep bench strength. You can only hold the line on "this is the job" if your hiring pipeline and cross-training give the schedule enough elasticity to lose someone.

SUMMARY What does a brand new customer get from you that your best customer doesn't? Usually a welcome offer or a promo. Now flip it. What does the person who's been with you for five years get? For most businesses, honestly, not a whole lot. In this episode of Brand Retro, Mike Brevik digs into the loyalty lie and why brands quietly take their best customers for granted. He breaks down how comfort and habit get mistaken for real loyalty, why deep new-customer discounts can backfire, and why the highest return move in your business might be the one you're already ignoring: taking care of the people already in the room. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most businesses put more energy, incentive, and discount into landing new customers than into keeping the ones already paying them, and that imbalance is quietly expensive. What looks like loyalty is often just habit and comfort. If you don't know why a customer is sticking around, you're taking them for granted. Deep discounts at the start of a relationship set a bad precedent. Clients who show up for price rarely become partners. Added value, not freebies, is what makes existing customers feel like the relationship is worth staying in. Taking care of the audience you already built is the cheapest marketing, the highest margin, and the strongest referral engine you have.

[00:02:00 - 00:03:00] Mike explains why unearned loyalty looks the same as real loyalty from the inside. [00:03:00 - 00:04:00] Mike breaks down how steep early discounts set a bad precedent with new clients. [00:04:00 - 00:06:00] Mike reframes the loyalty conversation around added value instead of discounts. [00:08:00 - 00:09:00] Mike uses his own loyalty to Nike as a case study in community access. [00:09:00 - 00:10:00] Mike ties this episode back to episode 133 and the idea that a loyal audience defends you. [00:10:00 - 00:12:00] Mike lays out why existing customers are the cheapest marketing and the best referral engine you have. [00:18:00 - 00:19:00] Mike shares how Cyberdogz shows up for clients during financial hardship or personal setbacks.

Henry VII rebuilt England with a ledger instead of a sword.The myth remembers him as a cautious survivor of the Wars of the Roses — a miser, a tax collector, the kind of king who was nervous about the battlefield. But that's the small version of the story. The real machine ran on parchment, bonds, wool customs, royal seals, and the rolls the sheriffs kept.Henry filled his government with "new men" — administrators he picked for their command of the law and for their loyalty. A body called the Council Learned in the Law took ordinary promises and turned them into debts you could actually enforce. Noble privilege started to become a liability. Loyalty turned into a bill with a seal on it.That was the Tudor revolution. It looked less like a new crown and more like a new collection system. The monarchy stopped waiting around for obedience and started pricing it.Everything Henry VIII did — the break with Rome, the dissolution of the monasteries — was only possible because his father had built a state powerful enough to do it. The founder of the durable political order is almost never the charismatic figure history remembers. It's the accountant.═══════════════════════════════

Lindsey Olin Graham (July 9, 1955 – July 11, 2026) was an American politician, attorney, and Air Force officer who represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate from 2003 until his death in 2026. He was one of the most influential Republican senators of his era, particularly on national security, judicial nominations, and foreign policy. Early Life Graham was born in Central, South Carolina, where his parents owned a restaurant, pool hall, and liquor store. He became the first member of his family to attend college, earning both a bachelor's degree and a law degree from the University of South Carolina. While in school, he suffered the loss of both parents within about 15 months and took responsibility for helping raise his younger sister. Military Service After law school, Graham joined the U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps, serving as a military lawyer. He served on active duty from 1982 to 1989, including assignments in Germany, and later continued in the South Carolina Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. During his military career he reached the rank of Colonel and retired in 2015 after 33 years of service. Entry into Politics Graham began his political career in the South Carolina House of Representatives, serving from 1993 to 1995. In 1994, he won election to the U.S. House of Representatives from South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District, becoming the first Republican elected from that district since Reconstruction. During his time in the House, he gained national attention as one of the House managers who prosecuted the impeachment case against President Bill Clinton in 1999. U.S. Senate Career Graham was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002 and took office in January 2003. He won reelection in 2008, 2014, and 2020. Throughout his Senate career he served on several powerful committees, including Judiciary, Appropriations, Budget, and Environment and Public Works. He also chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and later the Senate Budget Committee. Key Political Positions Graham became known for: Strong support for a robust U.S. military and interventionist foreign policy. Advocacy for American support of allies such as Ukraine and Israel. Leadership on judicial confirmations, including helping advance the confirmations of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Relationship with Donald Trump One of the most notable aspects of Graham's career was his evolving relationship with Donald Trump. During the 2016 Republican presidential primary, Graham strongly criticized Trump, but after Trump's election, however, Graham became one of his closest allies in Congress and frequently advised him on foreign-policy and judicial matters. Legacy His supporters remember him as a skilled legislator, military veteran, and influential voice on national security. Critics often challenged his changing political alliances and hawkish foreign-policy positions. Nevertheless, he remained one of the most recognizable and consequential Republican senators of the early 21st century Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
