Dr. Shila Patel, a retired psychiatrist, has made significant contributions to the field of mental health empowerment through her writing and multimedia engagement. Her work, available on her website, www.drshilapatel.com, includes three influential books, podcasts, and videos that aim to help individuals take control of their mental well-being. Dr. Patel's perspective on mental health empowerment emphasizes understanding the complex interplay of societal, relational, and familial dynamics, especially in the context of pre- and post-COVID situations. She advocates for the acceptance of differing viewpoints, addressing anger and fractured relationships, and recognizes the role of open communication in families and the broader community to foster a more empathetic and harmonious society.(00:00:48) Unveiling Mental Health through Personal Narratives(00:09:10) Decline of Genuine Human Connections due to Social Media(00:12:09) Mental Health Discourse Revolutionized by Internet(00:16:09) Digital Overload: Disconnecting for Mental Wellness(00:31:47) Self-Accountability in Sexual Assault Prevention(00:36:57) Regressive Steps in Women's Reproductive Rights(00:44:14) Promoting Informed Media Consumption for Positivity(00:52:51) Modeling Self-Responsible Behavior for Society's Well-being(00:59:24) Empowering Future Generations through Honest Communication(00:01:55) "Maintain one great thing between yourself, people and everything, and that's a healthy relationship." - Jr Sparrow(00:10:40) "People have become self-centered.

“I go after a lot of things as an entrepreneur. Probably 90% of the things may not happen on the timeline that I expect. But you better believe for that 10%, I'm gonna show up with the best attitude and energy that I have. Because I'm not gonna let the other 90% take away from my shine.”  The legal system wasn't built for the human heart—but Tiffani Brown is changing that. Through her vision of human-centered law, she's redefining what justice, service, and integrity look like in a world where entrepreneurs crave both success and soul. Her message is simple yet profound: law should protect people's dreams, not bury them in paperwork.  Tiffani's journey from big law to heart-driven entrepreneurship is a story of freedom and purpose. By paying off her $220,000 debt, walking away from corporate law, and creating My Legal Wellness, she turned her profession into a mission. She believes communities thrive when law is accessible, transparent, and grounded in compassion. Her philosophy blends strategy, spirituality, and courage—the same traits that led her to the Transformational Leadership Council and inspired her movement for ethical entrepreneurship.  Tiffani is a globally traveled attorney and visionary founder of MyLegalWellness.com, where she helps business owners navigate the law with clarity and heart. Her work bridges the gap between legal practice and human purpose—proving that leadership rooted in empathy can change industries from the inside out.   Expert action steps:  1. Go upstream – When something stops working, don't force it. Seek a higher path or new opportunity instead of staying stuck downstream.  2. Maintain a spirit of expectation – Stay open to possibility and say yes to opportunities that align with your purpose.  3. Control your attitude – Your energy and presence are your greatest powers; guard them fiercely and use them intentionally.  Learn more & connect:  • https://mylegalwellness.com/  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

PREVIEW HEADLINE: Inspector General Finds ISS Spacesuit Maintenance Failure and Design Inadequacy GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman reported on an Inspector General finding that Collins Aerospace is failing to maintain ISS spacesuits despite a contract ballooning to $1.4 billion. The decades-old American suits are complex and inadequate, while Russian and Chinese suits are better designed.

Eric speaks with Shawn Hale, who is associated with the aquatic and coral hobby through ventures like Reef Builders, Reef Therapy, and the Reefstock show. The conversation begins with a discussion of Hale's multitasking lifestyle and previous experiences working multiple jobs to pay for school, contrasting this with the current challenges of managing his various professional commitments. A significant portion of the interview focuses on the Reeftock event in Las Vegas, with Hale discussing the marketing difficulties and lower-than-expected attendance for the inaugural show, while maintaining an optimistic outlook for its future. Hale also shares the emotional backstory of acquiring Reef Builders after the passing of its original founder, Jake Adams, and explains the platform's mission to provide diverse content—articles, videos, and podcasts—to educate and appeal to the broad reef-keeping community.  Key Takeaways: Dedicate yourself fully to your goals by accepting long hours and putting in the initial necessary grind. Always maintain an optimistic and positive mindset to maximize every opportunity, regardless of immediate circumstances. Be authentic in your personal and professional life and focus on being yourself instead of trying to imitate others. Analyze your mistakes and proactively plan projects, ensuring you allocate sufficient time and awareness for success. Maintain independence and credibility by diversifying your support structure rather than relying too heavily on any single source of influence.

I recently saw a viral video featuring the strategies dogs use to get snacks from their humans (see the video here: https://www.myincrediblewebsite.com/dogs-know-how-to-manipulate-humans-for-food-food-food).With the right techniques, almost any person can be persuaded to share their meal. Here are a few of the most effective strategies of dogs, along with my comments on how anyone can entice anyone else to do what they want.1. Position yourself in your human's direct line of sight.The first step in getting what you want from someone is to get yourself in front of them — by email, social media, fax, phone call, podcast invite, letter, postcard, or more.2. Lower your ears enough to look like you're starving. Place your paw on top of your human as if to say, “I hate to interrupt but I will.”The second step: Let your target person know your need — what it is that you want from them. Be very clear. Be firm. Be persistent.3. Channel the tragic energy of a dog who's never seen food before even if you literally just licked your dinner bowl clean.Be passionate in pursuing your dream. Be passionate in communicating what you want. Be passionate in reaching out to anyone who can help you. Ask. And ask again.4. Release a small dramatic sigh every time your human takes a bite while maintaining unrelenting eye contact.Again, be persistent. Keep making contacts. Maintain eye contact, ear contact, touch contact, email contact, phone contact, letter contact, real person contact. Be dramatic at least some of the time. Be clear the rest of the time.When used in combination, these techniques have been known to produce a 92% success rate. That's probably a fake statistic, but possibly accurate nonetheless.The key to success in marketing is building relationships with key influencers. Use the strategies of dogs to help you build those relationships. Bow WOW!Website: https://www.BookMarketingBestsellers.comWebsite: https://www.BookAuthorAuthority This is a public episode.

Carl and Mike get into some brief Falcons talk as they share some thoughts on what they look for the team to build off of from Sunday's win over the Commanders on Sunday as they head into their bye week and eventually begin preparing for the Bills on MNF on October 13th. As they discuss, they agree that the Falcons offense must prove they can be consistent and when they face the Bills may find themselves having to keep up as the Bills averages 33 points per game.

While the downtime is frustrating, it's giving him space to reset his training and nutrition strategy.Protein-focused intermittent fasting: 180–200g of protein across 2 meals daily.Routine:3 full-body gym sessions (30 minutes, time under tension, circuit style).PT/rebounding on Tues & Thurs.Daily 1–2 mile walks.Planned HIIT trampoline sessions (not always done).Supplements: Glutathione patches boosted caloric expenditure and energy when used, but results declined after stopping.Routine stagnation: Same workouts/walks no longer elevate heart rate beyond Zone 2.Calorie balance: Needs ~1800–2000 calories daily to feel good, but weight loss requires dipping to ~1500, which tanks energy, hormones, and libido.Reluctant to adopt other cardio forms (boxing, yoga, pilates) despite potential benefits.Not interested in “outworking” calories with marathon-style activity like his brother's volleyball sessions.Red light therapy (Trifecta Light): Tried 12 sessions ($200 unlimited). Minimal personal results (slight arm nerve relief), but his 80-year-old mom noticed some weight loss. Brad is skeptical it's worth it for him long-term.Glutathione patches (Lifewave): Previously the best measurable boost on Whoop data, may revisit later.Testing over supplement overload: Pausing new supplement trials to focus on his own experiment with diet/training changes.Nutrition Shift:Move from 2 meals → 3 meals daily.Increase protein to 225–250g/day (all from real meat, no whey or pea protein).Lunch carries most carbs/fats, dinner focuses on salad + lean proteins (Mediterranean style: fish, chicken, crab, scallops).Maintain monthly 36–48 hour fasts for autophagy, while loosening daily fasting windows.Training Adjustments:Recommit to HIIT once per week (30s on/off on rebounder with vest, dumbbells, band, oxygen mask).Keep gym/rehab/walking structure, but recognize the need for stimulus change if progress stalls.Biohacker's Edge:Lean on protein-driven thermogenesis and added lean mass to naturally raise BMR.Hold off on glutathione patches until he proves the new plan works.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

The Boston School Committee held their second meeting of the school year last night, primarily to present a proposal to change the exam school admissions policy. This was the sole report of the meeting and much of the public comment surrounded this proposal. After the Superintendent's report, Member Cardet-Hernández pressed for updates on graduation rates and summer school outcomes. Superintendent Skipper noted those would come at the October 8th meeting, alongside official enrollment numbers. The district formally presented its recommended changes: Remove all school-based points, which Skipper described as confusing, inequitable, and less impactful over time. Reduce housing-based points from 15 to 10 points, aligning with observed differences in composite scores. Add a “citywide round”: the first 20% of seats at each exam school would go to applicants with the highest composite scores citywide, regardless of tier. Maintain the current four-tier structure, based on neighborhood population, not applicant numbers. Superintendent Skipper emphasized that these changes would ensure fairness, prevent inflation of scores above 100, and preserve the original intent of the 2021 policy. However, School Committee members raised important questions about the implications of the policy shifts. For instance, Member Polanco García pressed for plans to better support newcomers and English Language Learners, whom Skipper admitted still lack sufficient resources. Meanwhile, Member Rachel Skerritt sought clarity on whether the proposal preserves equity while creating a pathway for the city's highest achievers. She also noted the district's failure to deliver on earlier promises to strengthen rigor in grades 4–6, which was promised five years ago. Zooming out a bit, Member Cardet Hernández questioned why BPS continues to frame admissions around three schools instead of tackling system-wide quality, noting families' desire for options across all grades. And Member Stephen Alkins asked about the drop in projected Black student enrollment (from ~20% to 15%) and urged more transparency in data and grading practices. To cap it all off, Chair Robinson underscored the Committee's failure to improve early-grade preparation, warning that focusing solely on exam school admissions leaves thousands of other students behind. Clearly, members have many questions, and it is unclear if this policy change will meet the stated goals of clarity, stability, and simplicity. Exam School Admissions Policy Recommendation:What's Up Next?The Committee will take a final vote on the admissions policy on November 5th. The next meeting will be held on October 8th at 6pm.

Helping Children Learn Sportsmanship with Dr. Frank Sileo In this episode of the Helping Families Be Happy podcast, host Christopher Robbins welcomes Dr. Frank Sileo, a New Jersey licensed psychologist and author, to discuss sportsmanship as an important value for children. They explore the role of parents, coaches, and teachers in modeling good sportsmanship and the impact of competition on a child's ability to develop empathy and teamwork. The conversation also covers strategies for helping children handle losses gracefully and address struggles with anxiety and emotional regulation related to competition. Dr. Sileo emphasizes the need for parents to observe their children's behaviors and engage in meaningful conversations to foster positive sports experiences. Episode Highlights00:00:10: Introduction of the podcast and its host, Christopher Robbins, who introduces the guest, Dr. Frank Sileo. 00:01:17: Overview of Dr. Sileo's credentials and his work in psychology and literature. 00:02:27: Introduction to the topic of sportsmanship and its importance in childhood development. 00:02:45: Discussion on the significance of parents modeling good sportsmanship behavior. 00:03:13: Insights on how competition can influence children's empathy and teamwork abilities. 00:05:11: Addressing the cultural emphasis on winning and how to nurture graceful losing in children. 00:06:09: The role of adults in framing competition for children to promote healthy behaviors. 00:08:23: Recommendations for helping children handle losses with perspective and humor. 00:11:43: Strategies for effective communication with children struggling with competition. 00:14:51: Recognizing signs of struggle with competition and suggested responses. 00:18:58: Resources for parents to help children improve sportsmanship and emotional regulation. 00:22:08: Announcement of Dr. Sileo's upcoming book, "Meatball Sunday," and its themes. 00:23:17: Information on where to find more about Dr. Frank Sileo online. 00:23:45: Closing gratitude to the podcast's supporters and listeners, along with a call for feedback. Key Takeaways The behaviors parents model have a significant impact on children's sportsmanship and emotional development. Healthy competition can enhance children's empathy and teamwork if framed positively by adults. Normalize losing and view it as an opportunity for learning and growth rather than failure. Maintain open, supportive discussions with children about their feelings related to competition. Be attentive to a child's non-verbal cues, as they might indicate stress or discomfort with competition. Tweetable Quotes "You've won if you've had fun." – Dr. Frank Sileo "Sportsmanship lays the foundation for how children treat others beyond the field." – Dr. Frank Sileo "Life is about the process, not just the results." – Episode Discussion "Use your relationship with your child to open doors for important conversations." – Dr. Frank Sileo.

In this episode of Between Product and Partnerships, Cristina Flaschen sits down with Arvita Tripati, a seasoned healthcare product leader and advisor. They explore her unique journey from customer service in medical devices to leading product management in high-stakes, regulated environments.A Career Built on Curiosity and EmpathyArvita began career working with cosmetic and reconstructive lip implants. Over time, she explored quality, regulatory, privacy, and security roles, gradually noticing a common thread – a product mindset could improve compliance and user experience. By staying curious and saying “yes” to opportunities, she transitioned into formal product management, bringing an empathetic, human-centered perspective to highly regulated work.She emphasizes that empathy extends beyond patients. Every role, from HR to IT, has internal and external “customers.” Recognizing that and asking why decisions are made can open doors in unexpected ways.AI in HealthcareEarly projects relied on rules-based statistical models, like algorithms guiding radiofrequency ablation. Today, AI has become more adaptive, processing complex data in real time.She stresses that adoption is as much about trust and storytelling as it is about accuracy. Clinicians, patients, and regulators all need different levels of detail. For patients, a clear explanation of outcomes is key. Clinicians want actionable insights they can rely on. Regulators, like the FDA, demand evidence and reproducibility. Building confidence in AI requires tailoring communication to each audience and focusing on transparency.Navigating Regulation and Market RiskThe discussion highlights the tension between speed and compliance. Some companies launch products without FDA approval to move quickly, but this can backfire, creating reputational risk and undermining trust. Arvita argues that embedding validation, equity, and discovery into every stage of product development ensures both safety and long-term success.She recalls the FDA's collaborative approach during the COVID crisis, which allowed her team to bring products to market faster than usual while still meeting rigorous standards. Regulatory bodies, she notes, often want innovators to succeed, they just need assurance that claims are safe and evidence-based.Lessons from Clip Health During COVIDJoining Clip Health in May 2020, Arvita helped pivot from STI diagnostics to COVID testing. The team faced a critical choice, optimize for speed-to-result or clinician workflow. Speed won out, enabling rapid deployment, but revealed the importance of balancing urgency with discovery.This experience reinforced two key lessons, 1) speed does not equal success, and 2) embedding continuous discovery into product DNA is essential. Arvita notes that even under extreme pressure, pausing to understand workflow and user needs can determine whether a product thrives.Advice for Aspiring Product ManagersArvita offers guidance for those entering product roles, particularly in regulated or technical industries:Maintain a beginner's mindset and stay curious.Lead with empathy for both internal and external users.Consider equity, inclusivity, and the broader business impact of product decisions.Balance speed with thoughtful discovery. Sometimes slowing down enables you to go further, faster.Cristina adds that effective PMs know when to zoom out and reassess the problem at hand. Good product decisions are defensible, ethical, and grounded in real-world impact.For more insights on partnerships, integrations, and building SaaS ecosystems, visit www.pandium.com

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Albert Bramante—veteran talent agent, PhD in psychology, certified hypnotist, and NLP practitioner—to break down how the story you tell yourself shapes mental health and performance. From limiting beliefs and the inner critic to practical mindset tools like reframing, hypnosis, and NLP, Albert explains how identity shifts fuel results for actors, CEOs, and high achievers alike. You'll learn the difference between healthy challenge (eustress) and toxic stress, how to spot early warning signs, and how to build daily systems that drive sustainable success without burnout. Direct, actionable, and grounded—this conversation helps you rewrite your inner narrative so you can perform with authenticity and balance. About the guest  : Dr. Albert Bramante is a long-time talent agent with 20+ years in TV, film, and theater. He also holds a PhD in psychology, is a certified hypnotist, and an NLP practitioner. He helps actors and high-performing professionals dismantle self-sabotage, shift identity, and perform with confidence. Key takeaways: Your self-story drives outcomes: Internal narratives formed in childhood (criticism vs. celebration) shape beliefs, identity, and mental health. Identity shift > willpower: Recast yourself as a survivor, not a victim to unlock resilient behavior and better performance. Reframing works: Tools from hypnosis/NLP help reframe events, reduce the inner critic, and enable authentic delivery in high-stakes moments (e.g., auditions, boardrooms). Eustress vs. distress:Eustress (a focused, time-bound arousal) boosts performance; toxic stress lingers and disrupts sleep, breathing, and eating patterns. Spot stress early: Persistent hypervigilance, irregular sleep, and appetite shifts are cautions that coping systems need attention. Action builds confidence: Consistent, small steps with feedback loops (“fail forward”) develop durable competence and calm. Balance prevents burnout: Maintain outside interests and supportive routines to counter high-judgment environments. Mind–body is one system: Mental stress elevates cortisol, impacting the body; physical and mental practices (mindfulness, movement, breathwork) should work together. Translate strengths across domains: Map your existing professional gravitas to new performance contexts to accelerate wins. Make it practical: Label emotions, reframe limits, set growth-mindset systems, and review results weekly.

In this episode, Apostle Kingsley Ajei-Godson unveils the mystery of **Divine Positioning**—God's intentional design to place His children at the right place, with the right mind, and the right perspective. For the believer, nothing happens by accident; every step is ordered to bring forth a fruitful harvest that glorifies God. (John 10:10, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5). To enjoy divine positioning and harvest, one must abide in Christ, cultivate godly virtues, and operate with the mind of Christ (John 15:4-5, 1 John 2:6). The believer is God's co-laborer (1 Corinthians 3:9), called to build wisely and walk in alignment with His will. **Conditions for Positioning:** 1. Believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior. 2. Place total faith in God's sovereignty (Colossians 3:23-24). 3. Maintain a resolute mindset (Luke 9:23). 4. Understand God's time and will (Habakkuk 2:14; 1 John 2:20; Ephesians 5:15). 5. Refuse to be distracted by life's storms (Ecclesiastes 11). **Benefits of Divine Positioning:** * Ensures victory. * Releases divine enablement and increase. * Guarantees guidance and supernatural assistance. When rightly positioned, the child of God cannot miss their harvest. ---

Alan welcomes back Dr. Dawn Grimes to talk about burnout. Lately it seems like social media can't stop talking about it and they both have some things to say about it! They define burnout as emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion from prolonged stress, arguing it's not unique to dentistry. Dawn asserts that a poor relationship with stress, a lack of resilience, and unrealistic expectations—often fueled by social media—are the real causes. They suggest that instead of quitting or hiring a coach, dentists should reframe their perspective, manage expectations, and take practical steps to improve their lives both in and out of the office. Key Takeaways Burnout is real, but it's not unique to dentistry. It's the result of prolonged, unmanaged stress from any demanding part of life or work. Social media can worsen burnout. The algorithm feeds you more of what you look at, so lingering on videos about burnout can make you feel worse. The constant comparison to a curated, glamorous online presence creates unrealistic expectations for your own life and career. A "coach" may not be the answer. The hosts question the credibility of coaches who no longer practice clinical dentistry, suggesting that their advice may be disconnected from the day-to-day realities of the job. The only thing you can change is yourself. Rather than trying to change your job or circumstances, you should focus on changing your reactions to problems. This is a core part of developing resilience, which allows you to let go of negative experiences and start over. Rumination makes things worse. Dwelling on past mistakes or bad days (internal rumination) or consuming content about burnout (external rumination) reinforces negativity and prevents you from moving forward Meditation is a powerful tool. It helps you train your brain to let go of unhelpful thoughts and focus on the present moment, which is the key to building resilience and managing stress. Maintain perspective. Remember that dentistry is a well-paying profession and many other jobs are physically and emotionally harder. Accepting that life and work are often challenging is the first step toward finding peace. You have control. You can manage your social media algorithm by engaging with positive content like dog videos, mountain bike content or clips of cooking very tiny food!

Tune in to our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure, and Aged Expired niches! In today's episode of the All The Leads Mastermind podcast the team dives into practical strategies for turning probate leads into lasting client relationships. The panel emphasizes listening over selling, using questions to uncover real buyer and seller needs, and building trust through authentic, service-first conversations. You'll hear coaches discuss the pillars of a sustainable real estate business, the difference between transactional sales and transformational guidance, and how data, CMA, and clear cost estimates can make offers more compelling without pressuring clients. Real-world stories highlight the value of empathy, rapport, and consistent follow-up, from handling probate estates to navigating short sales and distressed properties. The discussion also covers timing, market dynamics, and how rising or falling mortgage rates influence buyer psychology, while stressing that people move where they live and that adapting to local conditions is crucial. Throughout the call, participants share templates, checklists, and example dialogues that help agents present choices, explain processes, and empower clients to make informed decisions. By the end, the group underscores that success comes from serving families, maintaining a strong foundation, and turning relationships into repeat business and referrals rather than chasing quick wins. Tune in for practical tips you can apply this week to improve lead conversion, nurture long-term relationships, and position yourself as a trusted advisor in probate, divorce, and mortgage-related scenarios.  Key Takeaways:  - Build relationships over time rather than chasing transactions.  - Lead with service and empathy to win referrals.  - Use data and CMA to anchor pricing and negotiations.  - Qualify buyers and sellers before listing to avoid wasted time.  - Provide value through resources and probate guides.  - Maintain consistent follow-up with a documented process.  To learn more, visit https://www.AllTheLeads.com or call (844) 532-3369 to check how many leads are available in your market.  #ProbateRealEstate #ClientRelationships #LeadConversion #ServeDontSell Previous episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

Oregon’s Tribal Early Learning Hub has faced a number of challenges since its creation. But this summer, state lawmakers passed HB 2815, which would invest more in early learning for Oregon's nine federally recognized tribes. As the school year begins, we hear from Jory Spencer, the early childhood service program manager for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. We also hear from Jennifer Reid, education director for Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians. They both join us to share more about their programs and what these new investments mean for them.

NumberEight converts mobile sensor data into contextual audience segments without capturing PII, addressing the fundamental breakdown of cookie-based targeting as media consumption fragments across podcasts, gaming, and connected TV. What began as a thesis project for contextual SoundCloud recommendations has evolved into a B2B data platform serving podcast platforms, media sales houses, and agencies. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Abhishek Sen to unpack how NumberEight navigates the complex adtech ecosystem and the tactical GTM strategies that drive their expansion across multiple customer segments simultaneously. Topics Discussed: How NumberEight evolved from a Netherlands thesis project (contextual SoundCloud recommendations) to solving adtech's identity crisis Technical architecture: converting mobile sensor data to contextual audience segments without PII collection Multi-segment GTM approach across podcast platforms (AdSwizz, Triton), media sales houses, and agencies Why the company targets podcasting and gaming simultaneously despite different data density challenges Conference strategy: 45+ targeted meetings per event while completely avoiding booths Building category credibility through IAB Tech Lab standards work and white paper contributions The breakdown of cookie-based targeting as consumption fragments beyond web browsers GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Execute systematic conference preparation to maximize deal flow: Sen books 45+ targeted meetings across 4-day conferences like Cannes Lions through advance relationship mapping and mutual connection identification. The tactical framework: pre-research each prospect's annual priorities, identify shared connections for warm introductions, and plan specific value propositions for each conversation. Execute daily follow-up during the conference to prevent pipeline degradation. Sen's insight: "Prep is incredibly important... we evaluate okay, Brett, head of monetization at ABC Company. Who does Brett know that I know? What is the actual proposition we want to discuss?" Avoid booth competition when capital-constrained: NumberEight deliberately avoids exhibition booths at major conferences, recognizing the futility of competing against Amazon's "entire city mockups" and Google's massive displays. Instead, they focus on authentic relationship building through targeted meetings and dinner sponsorships. The strategic principle: startups should leverage their authenticity advantage rather than attempting to out-spend established players in awareness channels where they're fundamentally disadvantaged. Maintain strict messaging separation between investor and customer tracks: Sen emphasizes the critical disconnect between vision-focused investor pitches and problem-focused customer conversations. His customer insight: "You tell any customer you're going to revolutionize... they're like 'man, you make me money, I'll be your friend.'" The implementation: develop completely separate messaging frameworks where investor decks emphasize market transformation while customer presentations focus exclusively on measurable business impact and revenue generation. Build category authority through standards body participation: NumberEight invests significant engineering resources in IAB Tech Lab white papers and industry standards development without direct revenue impact. This work establishes credibility when defining new data categories in established industries. Sen's co-founder leads technical working groups on identity-less targeting standards. The strategic value: "If you're trying to change the game, you have to be seen as someone giving back to the ecosystem and that helps drive your credibility." Time market entry around regulatory and consumption pattern shifts: NumberEight's positioning leverages two simultaneous disruptions: privacy regulation breakdown of cookie-based targeting and consumption fragmentation beyond web browsers. Sen identifies the core market inefficiency: "Consumption has moved beyond the web... but the data companies, in terms of how data is actually collected, hasn't changed. There's a mismatch." Founders should identify regulatory or technological shifts that create incumbent solution inadequacy and time market entry accordingly. Focus on vertical-specific events over broad industry conferences: NumberEight exclusively attends podcasting-focused (specific platforms), gaming-focused, or adtech-specific conferences rather than generalist marketing events. Sen explains: "We don't attend any conferences that are generalistic... The ones we attend are very focused on either podcasting or gaming or adtech focused ones. That's where we get the most bang for buck." This concentration strategy yields higher prospect quality and more productive pipeline development than broad industry networking.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

What would an extra $1000 every month mean to you and your family?   Inflation. Waiting for a raise that might not happen. So many people are looking for ways to earn extra income right now. Today I'm talking about how a subscription box side hustle could bring an extra $1000 a month to your family - with only 50 subscribers.  A subscription box business can be a full-time business. But it doesn't have to be. Many members of Launch Your Box have full-time, 9-5 style jobs and successful subscription box side hustles. They are nurse practitioners, teachers, certified registered nurse anesthetists, hair stylists, realtors, dentists, and more. They're also subscription box owners who bring in additional income with their side hustles.  You can, too! Let's do the math. If you have 50 subscribers and make $20 of profit per box, that's an extra $1000 going into your bank account every month.  Of course, it's going to take time and effort to get there. But following these six steps will have you well on your way to a successful subscription box side hustle.    Identify what you like or have an interest in.   Make sure it's something you're good at or have expertise in.  You have to be passionate about the subject matter or it won't last!  Don't try to be like anyone else - YOU will set your subscription box apart.     Ask yourself if there are other people around you with the same interest.    That's the audience you need to build!  Where can you find more of those people?  Where do they hang out online?    Start a social media account(s) on the platforms where your people hang out.   Start sharing videos, posts, etc.  Ask your friends to like your page and share it with their friends.  Make sure you're speaking the language of the person you are trying to attract. Messaging matters!    Run a giveaway.   Use Kingsumo (it's FREE!)  The prize needs to be a box just like what you want to sell.  Capture emails for those who enter your giveaway and start building your email list.    Introduce the idea for the box to your audience.   Get their feedback and have them help you make decisions.   You want their buy-in to validate your concept.  Niche down if needed.    Set a launch date and a goal.    Create excitement and generate buzz.  Get your new audience excited about the upcoming box!  Engaging your audience is key at every stage of your subscription box journey, whether it's your full-time gig or a side hustle. Continue to ask for feedback as you grow. Maintain an ongoing focus on audience building and keep serving your audience!  Join me for this episode as I talk about why a subscription box side hustle might be right for you and the six steps you need to take in order to make yours a success.
