Most buyers obsess over interest rates—but this episode reveals why waiting for the “perfect rate” might cost you far more than you think. In part two of the “Top 20 Most Frequently Asked Questions” series, this episode dives into one of the biggest fears first-time buyers face: today's interest rates. David Sidoni tackles the myth that 3–4% mortgage rates will return and explains why waiting could backfire. You'll hear why “timing the market” is often less effective than just getting in as soon as you're ready. David uses real historical data, stock market comparisons, and a strategic mindset shift to guide buyers in evaluating if now is the right time. Plus, hear how creative mortgage strategies can make a 7% interest rate not only manageable—but still a smart financial move.Quote“Life happens for us when it happens.

In this episode, I address a growing problem in recruiting—lazy, spam-driven outreach that damages your brand and repels top talent. Too many recruiters and recruiting leaders rely on generic, mass-messaging tactics, thinking they're taking a shortcut to success. Instead, they're burning bridges, losing credibility, and making it harder for great leaders to reach the right recruits. If you want to recruit effectively in today's world, you need a better strategy. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The problem with spam recruiting messages and why they don't work. [01:30] The Worst Offenders: Real Examples of Bad Recruiting Messages – Reading actual spam messages recruiters send (without naming names). [04:00] How Bad Messaging Hurts Your Brand – Why recruits see these messages as red flags and ignore them. [05:30] The Role of Data and Tech in Recruiting – How automation, CRMs, and mass messaging are making recruiters lazy. [07:00] The Impact on the Market – How an oversaturated, spam-heavy recruiting environment makes it harder to have real conversations. [08:30] Why Good Strategy Always Wins – Using targeted, research-based outreach instead of generic, bulk messaging. [10:00] How to Personalize Your Recruiting – The power of specific, affirming messaging that feels personal and relevant. [12:00] The Importance of Building Relationships First – Why leading with connection, rather than trying to “close,” leads to long-term success. [14:30] Case Study: A Recruiting Leader's Failed Mass Messaging Campaign – How a leader lost over 50% of their contacts by relying on spam tactics. [17:00] The Right Way to Use Tech and Data – How to leverage automation without sacrificing authenticity. [19:00] The Complex Sale Approach – Why recruiting is more like selling high-ticket software than selling a simple product. [21:30] Final Thoughts – If you wouldn't recruit yourself with your current strategy, it's time to change it. Key Takeaways Spam Recruiting Is Killing Your Brand – Mass, generic messages tell recruits you aren't a leader worth following. Automation Shouldn't Replace Strategy – Using data and tech correctly requires intentionality, not shortcuts. Personalization Wins – A well-researched, affirming message will always get better responses than a mass text. Recruiting Is a Complex Sale – Treat it like one by taking time to nurture relationships instead of pushing for immediate results. The Best Leaders Build Trust First – Recruits follow leaders who invest in meaningful connections, not quick sales tactics. Lazy recruiting isn't just ineffective—it's actively hurting your ability to attract top talent. If you want to win in today's recruiting landscape, you need to slow down, use data strategically, and focus on personalized, relationship-driven outreach. The leaders who do this won't just succeed—they'll dominate. If you're ready to transform your recruiting approach, subscribe to my weekly email at 4crecruiting.com or schedule a coaching session at bookrichardnow.com. Let's build a recruiting system that actually works.

Cindy shares her groundbreaking journey in advocating for women's sexual health, challenging the medical system, and fighting for equal treatment in medicine.Cindy reveals the startling double standards between male and female sexual health, recounting her experiences bringing Addyi to market and navigating the resistance she faced. Together, we dive deep into why women's pleasure, health, and biology have been historically overlooked and undervalued, and why now more than ever, the conversation must change.Key highlights:Why women deserve proof and evidence-based treatmentsThe untold challenges behind bringing Addyi (the female Viagra) to marketHow we can change the conversation around women's healthIf you want to learn more about the untold truths of women's health and why this conversation is so critical, hit play and join us for this powerful discussion.Who is Cindy Eckert?Cindy Eckert is a self-made serial entrepreneur and fierce advocate for women, known for her bold leadership and mission to empower female entrepreneurs through her Pinkubator. Over her 24-year career in healthcare, Cindy has built and sold two companies for over $1.5 billion, including Sprout Pharmaceuticals, which introduced the first FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women, often called "female Viagra." After selling Sprout for $1 billion, she fought to reclaim the drug and relaunched it on her own terms. Cindy's work, widely featured in major media, focuses on creating mission-driven companies with a profound impact, and she is committed to helping others achieve success.What is ADDYI? ADDYI is for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive (low) sexual desire disorder who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation or the sexual partner. The low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship or medicine or other drug use. ADDYI is not for use in men or to enhance sexual performance.Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink 1-2 standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your ADDYI dose. Wait at least 2 hours after drinking before taking ADDYI at bedtime. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is also increased if you take certain prescription, over the counter or herbal medications, or have liver problems. Low blood pressure and fainting can happen when you take ADDYI even if you don't drink alcohol or take other medicines. Do not take if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in ADDYI. Allergic reactions may include hives, itching or trouble breathing. Sleepiness, sometimes serious, can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and dry mouth.
