Brennah Davis is the Founder of The Marketing Matchmakers, a service that helps small businesses connect with the right marketing agencies. With over a decade of experience running her own agency and scaling teams, she has developed a proven process for creating successful partnerships across North America and the Caribbean. Brennah combines her financial savvy and people-centered approach to build strong, mutually beneficial relationships. In this episode… The marketing world is changing fast, and many business owners struggle to keep up. With agencies making big promises and results often unclear, choosing the right partner can feel risky and overwhelming. Is there a better way to navigate the maze and find the right marketing partners without getting burned? Drawing on a decade of agency experience, Brennah Davis witnessed the common frustrations of mismatched expectations, unclear deliverables, and outright disappointments. This inspired her to create a more transparent and supportive process by founding The Marketing Matchmakers. She describes how her background — from a childhood shaped by entrepreneurial parents to running her own agencies — provided unique insights into both the business and relational aspects of marketing. Brennah's approach centers on deep, empathetic listening and asking probing questions to ensure a true understanding of a client's goals, rather than simply matching them with the most convenient agency. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Brennah Davis, Founder of The Marketing Matchmakers, about how she helps companies find the right marketing partners, what to watch out for when hiring an agency, and how clear communication can prevent costly mistakes. They also discuss the impact of AI on marketing and why Brennah believes transparency is key to lasting business relationships.

Have you ever found yourself in a relationship that looks perfect on paper, yet deep down, your spirit feels unsettled? That nagging feeling isn't wrong – it's wisdom trying to break through.This powerful exploration delves into the critical distinction between partners who are simply "good to you" versus those who are genuinely "good for you." We've been conditioned to celebrate the absence of negative behaviors – he doesn't cheat, he's respectful, he has a good job – treating these basics as the full picture of love rather than merely its foundation. But this mindset leads us to confuse peace with purpose and mistake the absence of pain for the genuine presence of joy.The real danger isn't found in obviously toxic relationships but in complacent partnerships that exist without passion or depth. These connections often feature partners who go through the motions – buying flowers, planning dates – while never truly seeing your ambitions, dreams, or authentic self. Over time, this emotional malnourishment can cause you to dim your light, shrinking your dreams and silencing your passions because your partner doesn't understand them. You might gradually disconnect from your authentic self to maintain a relationship that was never designed for your growth.God didn't bring you through past challenges for you to settle for "almost" or become comfortable with lukewarm love. The love you truly deserve should feel like purpose, destiny, and home simultaneously, with a partner who isn't intimidated by your light but holds up a mirror so you can witness your own brilliance. Trust your intuition when it signals misalignment, even when everything looks right on paper – that quiet voice isn't doubt but your future self advocating for the complete love you deserve.Follow, like, share, and join our growing community as we continue this conversation with upcoming video podcasts featuring guest speakers sharing real stories and wisdom. Remember: you deserve peace, purpose, and true partnership all at once.We would LOVE to hear from you! Thank you joining Love Our Talks and listening to these juicy topics!Support the show

“I don't believe in modern love,” David Bowie belted back in 1983—and it still feels oddly relevant today. This week on the Two Please Podcast, we stress-test that line by exploring modern romance through three films that, together, feel like its best on-screen representatives: Her (Love In The Time of AI), The Materialists (Love In The Time of Capitalism), and Gone Girl (Love In The Time of Self-Loathing). We've jokingly called it our “Before Trilogy of Modern Love,”- one story told across three very different movies. Expect takes on AI intimacy vs human messiness, pragmatism vs passion, why some marriages implode, timely headlines, and a few red flags.

Single Chinese want to find love, but remain straitjacketed by expectations of what their partners should look like. Synopsis: Every first Friday of the month, The Straits Times catches up with its foreign correspondents about life and trends in the countries they're based in. Inequality is at play in China’s singles market in more ways than one. In China, the number of men outstrip that of women, and yet, they find it far easier to find marriage partners. At the same time, both genders are trapped by familial and their own expectations to marry within the same social bracket, in the face of a growing divide between the elites and the broader generation.

As he finished his medical school exam, David Fajgenbaum felt off.  He walked down to the ER and checked himself in.  Soon he was in the ICU with multiple organ failure.  The only drug for his condition didn't work. He had months to live, if that.  If he was going to survive, he was going to have to find his own cure. Miraculously, he pulled it off in the nick of time. From that ordeal, he realized that our system of discovering and approving drugs is far from perfect, and that he might be able to use AI to find dozens, hundreds, even thousands of cures, hidden in plain sight, for as-yet untreatable diseases. EPISODE CREDITS:Reported by - Latif NasserProduced by - Maria Paz Gutiérrezwith mixing help from - Jeremy S.

This week, Scheana and Kiki are back in the studio—still a little flustered after a run-in with the hot mailman. They catch up on Kiki's RHOC storyline and Scheana's unique take on the #RoofieGate discourse, then dive into California's new anti-drugging nightclub measure (and why it's bad news for turtles). Plus: surprise hookups Down Under, what RHONJ might look like without Teresa, mom-shaming comments, and the time Scheana tried to set Lala up with her garbage man. And Scheana reveals the idea she just pitched to Andy Cohen—one that got an enthusiastic reaction. Tune in to find out!
