When a woman sits across from Dr. Anna after a breast cancer diagnosis, she asks one question. What did your oncologist say caused it? Almost every time, the answer is a blank stare. Dr. Nasha Winters has lived that silence from the inside. By 19, she had collected a decade of diagnoses, including PCOS, endometriosis, IBS, anxiety, and thyroid trouble. Then she landed in the ER with a grapefruit-sized tumor and was told she was too ill for treatment. In this conversation, she shares the three things she credits with changing her path. She also explains how childhood trauma can shape the immune system and why she sees the body as a garden to tend rather than a battlefield. Dr. Nasha is a naturopathic doctor and the author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. She walks through the ten areas of terrain she evaluates, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio hiding in a standard CBC, and her inflammation "trifecta" of CRP, sed rate, and LDH. She explains why ringing the bell after treatment is the beginning of rebuilding. She also shares the four S's she sees as common threads in breast health. Key takeaways Recurring symptoms and diagnoses can be signals worth investigating, not just labels to manage. Dr. Nasha looks at ten areas of terrain and now starts with mental and emotional health. A standard CBC can reveal your neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio. She prefers it closer to 2 to 1. She tracks CRP, sed rate, and LDH together as a picture of inflammation and metabolic health. In her view, finishing treatment is when the work of rebuilding healthy cells begins. Research links a balanced microbiome with a better response to immunotherapy.

Taste can't be manufactured, so brands are hiring the people who have it. Writer and gr8 collab founder Emma Apple Chozick returns to talk with Phillip about her creative process (sans content calendar), building ShopMy's Signals Substack on proprietary data, and what the long-gone BEST Products showrooms can teach us about designing retail spaces worth remembering.A Category of OneKey takeaways:Brands can't manufacture taste; they've learned to partner with people whose judgment audiences already trust.Real editorial starts with an insight, question, or tension. Consumers today can sniff out a product pitch from a mile away — if a brand's editorial isn't valuable as standalone content, it's not worth sharing. BEST Products' SITE showrooms prove the best retail trades measurability for memory.Emma Apple Chozick: “Taste is obviously completely subjective. But when a brand resonates with a particular person's taste, that's not replicable. A brand can't create that on their own. They can try, but it's never gonna feel authentic.”Emma Apple Chozick: “I don't know if the goal is actually ‘to grow.' I think the goal is to work on really compelling projects that are aligned with what I'm interested in and can reach new people. But the goal isn't always reach.”Phillip: “I don't know that any of those [hot new channels] actually reflect culture. I think we bend culture to those things because that's where we put capital, and an industry likes to talk about them because they're new. But the people actually define what the culture is around the brand.”In-Show Mentions:Watch Emma's BEST Products videoFind Emma Apple Chozick on LinkedIn and InstagramLearn more about gr8 collabExplore the archive of SITE New YorkRead Signals: A Publication by ShopMyWatch Surroundings on YouTubeRead Emma's Dwell essay, “The Midcentury House That Raised Me”Listen to Emma's first Future Commerce episode, Creating Credible Content and Community-Building CollabsAssociated Links:Read: Member Brief: Return on Experience and the New KPIs of Store DesignRead: Insiders #188: Architecting Desire: How Retail-Hospitality Hybrids are Changing ConsumptionRead: Substack and Retail's New Media EraRead The Senses: “That's a Great Collab”Listen: Where Culture Happens, Commerce FollowsVISIONS Summit at MoMA, New York City: Join us on November 3, 2026Watch: Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground. Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Everywhere in the world women are living their lives unrecorded. What's up with that? What's the use of unrecorded lives? What are we afraid will happen if we put pen to paper to set down one memory moment of our lived experience? If we had the courage to venture into the depth of inquiry that guides a nice essay to a memorable story, what unexpected magic, freedom, or self-understanding might happen next? The depth of inquiry into our personal narratives moves even the best essays away from a nice recounting of facts and events and what happened to what did it all mean? There's more to your story than facts and events. Our stories become memorable when we deeply explore our lived experience, become curious about our motivations, what was at stake, the choices we made, the risks we took, and then reflect on how those experiences earned us a hard-won lesson. To get started recording a lived memory moment experience you recall—maybe the first job you ever had or the first time you stood up for yourself—set down the time, place and setting of the facts and events as you remember them. Next, capture highlights of the character (that would be you), who she was, how she was living her life, and why we might care about her. What was the event that upended her daily routine and set her up to want something different for herself? What was the problem that got in the way of what she wanted and how did she overcome it? Now we're embarking on the depth of inquiry. We focus our attention on the character's underlying emotions, feelings, fears, doubts, struggles, and values. These personal truths help us understand the meaning of what has happened when her routine was upended, what was at stake for her, and why she chooses to do what she does to get what she so keenly desires, come what may. When we dig deep into our lived experiences by asking difficult questions, refusing to accept our initial reactions, and allowing the story to lead us, we transform surface answers into self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-affirmation. With this first step we have begun to live a recorded life. What was the experience like for you? What is your next story?

The wave isn't coming anymore. It's here. And this season finale opens with the hardest truth the show has dropped all year: the glory years didn't build business owners — they built order fulfillers. Work got thrown at you, you executed, the phone rang on its own. Now it doesn't, and the guys who never built the machine are discovering they never had one. Shawn's been here before: 2008, Roofer Webs, a client list full of southern US roofing companies that stopped paying overnight. The survivors had built the pieces before they needed them.Marshall reframes it with one word: conditioning. Not entitlement — conditioning. Pavlov rang the bell and six unprecedented years of easy money rang yours. Conditioned to skip the P&L. Conditioned to skip the data entry. Conditioned to believe you don't need Luna marketing for you. So which is it — ignorance or conditioning? Pick one, then fix it.Then the biggest idea of the episode: EFFICIENT vs. MEMORABLE. Automate everything and you've built a perfectly efficient business identical to the guy down the block running the same $25/month AI. Everything is a form. Nothing is a memory. The Ritz-Carlton solved this with a single scented candle sent to a stressed guest's room — she wrote about it in Forbes and chose them forever after. What's YOUR candle?Marshall's answer: Stack. Eight ounces of ceramic coating, $10-15 per application, 30 minutes — literally the price of a candle. Slow schedule? Gift it. Shawn's play: pull ten past customers from OrbisX and call — "I'm lining up ten customers for a gift, and your Tacoma was the first thing I thought of. I've got nine more calls to make." Then relaunch it months later as your flagship package. Roleplay the pitch with Luna first — she'll find the one sentence killing your close.And the McDonald's study that explains everything: when self-order kiosks arrived, multi-burger orders among men jumped 257% — the screen removed the shame of asking a human for the second burger. That's the Two-Burger Theory, and it's exactly why the HyperClean Growth Program works: some customers will never say yes to your face, but give them a pressure-free way to order the second burger and they'll double their own ticket.The finale closes with two questions that decide who's still on the surfboard in 2027: Would you do business with you? And would you come back?Season 8 is a wrap. See you on the other side of the wave.
“That's not a knife. THAT'S a knife.” Join Ian & Megs for our 350th episode as we leave the Australian outback behind, head for New York City and discover just how far charm, confidence and an extremely large knife can take you in Peter Faiman's Crocodile Dundee (1986). Liam isn't with us this week — he tried telling Mick Dundee that he knew his way around the Australian wilderness. He has not been seen since. Kev is also absent, having become distracted by the promise of a Walkabout Creek drinking session and apparently forgotten there was a podcast to record. This week we discuss: Mick Dundee as a character creation — Paul Hogan creates someone instantly recognisable, enormously charismatic and almost impossible not to like. But is Mick himself significantly better than the movie built around him? Great character. Great movie? Crocodile Dundee gives us an iconic central character, memorable scenes and lines that have survived for forty years — but do those ingredients disguise a surprisingly thin story? Memorable moments aren't the same thing as narrative — the crocodile attack, the knife, the bar scenes, the subway ending. We remember an extraordinary amount of Crocodile Dundee, but does remembering the individual moments make us overestimate the strength of the film connecting them together? The movie effectively changes genre halfway through — the Australian section plays almost like an adventure comedy, while New York turns Mick into a fish-out-of-water character. Which half works better, and does the film ever feel completely whole? Paul Hogan's performance — understated, relaxed and rarely chasing the punchline. How much of the movie's success comes simply from Hogan understanding exactly how much — and how little — Mick Dundee needs to do? Sue Charlton is much harder to understand than Mick — she is fascinated by Mick, romantically attached to Richard and seemingly capable of treating both men with remarkable cruelty depending upon what the scene requires. Susan, Richard and Mick — this relationship increasingly frustrated us. Richard is certainly not presented as particularly sympathetic, but Sue repeatedly humiliates him, keeps him emotionally dangling and then seems surprised by his reactions. Meanwhile, she also plays with Mick's feelings while refusing to be honest about what she actually wants. Does the romance actually work? Mick and Sue have obvious chemistry, but does the screenplay earn their relationship — or are we simply carried along by Hogan and Linda Kozlowski until that enormously charming final scene tells us everything has worked out? The changing comedy of Crocodile Dundee — some jokes remain beautifully simple and effective; others very clearly belong to 1986. How much can we separate the film's enormous cultural impact from the parts that have aged awkwardly? New York through Mick's eyes — the movie's best trick might be reversing our expectations. Mick initially appears to be the strange outsider, yet his straightforward view of the world often makes everyone around him seem considerably stranger. And finally, whether Crocodile Dundee is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of cinema's great reminders that creating an unforgettable character and giving him unforgettable lines is not necessarily the same thing as telling an unforgettable story.

Episodio número 4 de la temporada 7 de la serie Safety Leaders Podcast.Un podcast de PrevenControl, con Joaquim Ruiz y la colaboración de Miquel Mor.Música: Litus.INSCRIPCIONES en Safety Day Experience: https://recursos.prevencontrol.com/demos-grupales-bcn-06-oct-26Cómo convertir una jornada de seguridad en una experiencia memorableEn este episodio de Safety Leaders Podcast, Joaquim Ruiz conversa con Miquel Mor, director del área de Aprendizaje de PrevenControl, sobre cómo conseguir que un Safety Day vaya más allá de una jornada entretenida y se convierta en una experiencia que deje huella.La clave no está en elegir la actividad más espectacular, sino en definir primero qué queremos que las personas vivan, descubran y conversen. A partir de ese propósito pueden diseñarse experiencias participativas —competiciones, team buildings, yincanas o dinámicas inmersivas de investigación y escape— que permitan observar comportamientos muy similares a los que aparecen en el trabajo real.Durante estas actividades afloran cuestiones como las prisas, la presión por conseguir un resultado, la comunicación, la coordinación, las decisiones con información incompleta, la influencia del grupo o la dificultad para detenerse cuando existen dudas. El valor está en utilizar lo sucedido para generar después una conversación, evitando juzgar a las personas y tratando de comprender qué condicionó sus decisiones.El episodio destaca especialmente la importancia del debriefing: preguntas como «¿qué ocurrió?», «¿por qué decidimos actuar así?» o «¿dónde podría sucedernos algo parecido en nuestro trabajo?» convierten una experiencia lúdica en aprendizaje.Además, un buen Safety Day no termina cuando acaba la jornada. Las situaciones vividas pueden convertirse en referencias compartidas para conversaciones posteriores con equipos y mandos y ayudar a introducir cambios concretos en la forma de trabajar.La propuesta final se resume en tres preguntas antes de diseñar cualquier Safety Day: para qué queremos organizarlo, qué queremos que las personas vivan y conversen durante la jornada y, sobre todo, qué queremos que ocurra al día siguiente.-----------Contacto: Podcast: safetyleaders@prevencontrol.comTwitter: @prevencontrolSi queréis proponernos cosas puedes grabar tu audio aqui: https://www.speakpipe.com/PrevenControlGracias a todos y saludos!
Send us Fan MailHit a Ceiling? 7 Questions Every Physician Entrepreneur Must Answer to GrowOver the last two weeks, I've talked with hundreds of physicians at the EntreMD Business School Vision Retreat and at the MoneyFit MD event. The same questions kept coming up, from doctors just starting out all the way to doctors running 8-figure businesses.With the last quarter of the year here, I treat this season the way retailers used to treat Black Friday. It's our chance to make more in 90 days than we have all year. So in this episode, I answer the 7 questions that decide whether you break through your ceiling or stay stuck under it.In this episode, you'll learn:"I'm maxed out. How do I grow without working more?" Why time is capital, just like money. And why, when we studied our EBS doctors, the ones earning the most were also the ones taking the most time off."My growth has slowed. Should I launch something new?" The honeymoon, wilderness and promised land cycle, why shiny objects are an escape, and why you should fix the cash cow before you add verticals."Why do I feel guilty charging what I'm worth?" How medical training separated helping from money, why "no profit, no mission" is true, and how to use ethical pricing to charge confidently."Why is asking so hard?" Selling isn't good or bad. It just is. How good selling gets people where they already want to go, whether it's a sale, a referral or a partnership."What do I do with the team member I can't let go of?" Why I always look at myself before I look at my team, and when it's time to let someone go."I'm smart and I work hard. Why can't I figure this out on my own?" Why you became a doctor through mentorship, community and accountability, not by Googling, and why business works the same way."I've done well. Why do I still feel like I'm not good enough?" Why that thought comes to everyone, no matter how accomplished, and the one sentence that stops it.Memorable quotes:"If you say I don't have time, it means you're dead. Every day, you get a fresh installment of 24 hours.""The only way to the promised land is through the wilderness.""No profit, no mission.""Selling is not good or bad. Selling just is.""If you can't figure it out on your own, it's because you're not designed to figure it out on your own.""I am amazing, and I am committed to getting better every day."Join the EntreMD Business School open house If you're ready to make these last 90 days the most powerful of your year, join me live on Tuesday, September 29, at 6 PM Eastern.

“I know I'm a good guy - I'm kind and compassionate and caring … so why don't girls want me??”This was one of Scott's main concerns in middle and high school. It felt like it was happening for everyone around him, but not him.Fast forward a few decades and now he's got overflow in his love life -- he's married and experiences affection, sex, closeness, and emotional availability on the daily. So what changed?Here we talk about the excruciating phone call in 6th grade that kicked everything off; the confusion of having close women friends who say they want a nice guy but then don't seem to want the nice guy that's right in front of them; what it actually means to feel SEEN after feeling overlooked; and the intriguing question Scott finally asked himself on a walk through a park in Madrid.You'll also hear about a client who looked great on paper, but who was stuck in first-date purgatory for years. A couple of months into the work, he said something he'd never said before: "She's actually chasing me!"If you've ever felt stuck in a pattern of first dates that never become second dates, years of swiping with nothing to show for it, or a marriage where you reach for her and keep hearing, "No" -- this one's for you.—Come to the upcoming Masterclass!The Man She Craves 101 is coming in October.

September 16, 2026 - Wednesday PM Bible Class This episode is a sermon-style teaching about the faithfulness of God and how His unchanging character forms the foundation for our own faith. Bill opens with 1 Corinthians 1:4–9 and frames the message around five pillars that describe God's faithfulness—His omniscience (ever-knowing), omnipotence (ever-powerful), omnipresence (ever-present), truthfulness (ever-honest), and absoluteness (never-changing). The talk emphasizes that our faithfulness is a response to God's consistent faithfulness toward His people. Scripture passages referenced include Psalm 31:23; 1 John 1:9; Revelation 2:10; Hebrews 4:13; Ephesians 3:20; Psalm 139:7–10; Hebrews 6:18; Malachi 3:6; Deuteronomy 7:9; Lamentations 3:23; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Timothy 4:6–8; and many Psalms. Bill also surveys biblical examples—Job, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Moses, the Israelites, David, Elijah, Peter, Thomas and the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11—to illustrate how faith is tested and ultimately strengthened when we turn back to God. Key takeaways and practical guidance include inviting God into everyday decisions and relationships, praying for wisdom and strength, practicing love and forgiveness, resisting the devil, studying Scripture to build faith, and surrounding yourself with God's people. The message calls listeners to rely on God's promises rather than feelings, to count the cost of commitments, and to view divine discipline as training that shapes faithful living. Memorable moments include the speaker's personal testimony of being 46 years in the Lord, a light-hearted anecdote about two mischievous boys, and repeated encouragements to remain faithful until death in order to receive the crown of righteousness (paired with Revelation 2:10 and 2 Timothy 4:6–8). The episode closes with a pastoral prayer asking God to help listeners live faithful lives and to trust His unchanging faithfulness through every season. Duration 40:30

What makes a customer experience memorable? Learn more at https://justcreative.com/podcast In this episode, Jacob Cass speaks with customer experience expert and author Si Elliott about the psychology behind how people experience, perceive and remember brands.

We unpack why volunteering at an event can be more rewarding than simply attending one, and how a regular shift can become a fixture you can really miss.

#1078 Is AI really killing copywriting — or is it exposing just how powerful your message needs to be? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Marisa Corcoran, founder of Copy Confident Society, to unpack why copywriting isn't “dead” in the AI era — it's more important than ever.

In today's episode, Robin makes the case that bonds, not stocks, are the bedrock of finance and quietly built the modern world.

It's been quite a two-week start for Weber State football freshman Zach Smith. Through two games, Smith has an 85-yard interception return, a blocked punt recovery for a touchdown, and a blocked extra point attempt. In the season-opening win at Northern Colorado, Smith blocked an extra point attempt in the final seconds to seal a Wildcat win. In Saturday's game at Southern Utah, Smith had an 85-yard interception return and scooped up a blocked punt and returned it for a touchdown. Early in the second quarter, Porter Hadley blocked an SUU punt and Smith scooped it up and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, with the Wildcats trailing 41-36, Smith intercepted a pass at the WSU one-yard line and returned it 85 yards. It ranks as the third longest interception return in Weber State history. The return set up the Wildcat offense that scored a touchdown on the next play. In this ‘Cat Tales podcast, Smith talks about the first two games of the season and the plays he has made. He also talks about just returning from a church mission in May and jumping right back into football. He talks about his journey growing up in South Weber, playing high school football at Northridge High, committing to Weber State, and much more.
Your Account Managers Aren't the Problem. Your System Is. Most agencies are very good at winning new clients. Far fewer are equally deliberate about protecting, expanding and winning back the business they already have. That is a strange omission when the people closest to existing clients often have the strongest opportunity to understand what is changing inside those businesses. In this episode of TheInquisitor Podcast, Marcus Cauchi talks to Jenny Plant of Account Management Skills about why account managers are so often blamed for weak account growth when the real problem may sit much higher up the organisation. Jenny has spent more than 25 years working in agencies, as well as time on the client side in the airline and pharmaceutical sectors. She now works with agencies to make account management more commercially effective without turning account managers into stereotypical salespeople. And there is an important distinction. The answer is not simply to train account managers to “sell more”. It is to give them the clarity, capability, time, confidence and organisational conditions to become genuinely useful to their clients. Why this conversation matters Existing accounts are an obvious source of revenue, yet many agencies still manage them primarily around delivery. The account manager becomes the person who keeps projects moving, answers questions, attends status meetings and makes sure the client is happy. That can create a dangerous gap between being delivery reliable and being business relevant. Jenny argues that account growth depends on three things: 1. Commercial clarity Do account managers know which accounts are actually growable? Do they understand the agency's goals, their own role, the risks in the relationship and the rhythm in which accounts should be managed? 2. Capability Can they understand the client's business, ask useful questions, connect the agency's services to business outcomes and bring ideas into the conversation? 3. Cultural continuity Is account growth embedded into forecasting, coaching, planning, client meetings and the employee lifecycle? Jenny describes these as a three-legged stool. Training one leg while ignoring the other two is unlikely to produce sustainable change. Account management is sitting on a gold mine One of the most striking examples Jenny shares involves a US promotional merchandise agency serving the education sector. Its account managers had hybrid roles combining project management and growth. The growth wasn't happening. The agency separated the roles and gave existing team members the opportunity to focus specifically on growth. Within six months, the agency had increased revenue by 12% and client consultations by 50%. The important part was not simply the training. The account managers had gained the time, capacity and enablement to actually develop their clients. They were initially worried about becoming “salesy”. Once they understood that their job was to be consultative rather than transactional, the resistance disappeared. Did you hire them this way, or make them this way? This becomes one of the most important challenges in the conversation. Marcus asks whether founders should consider: “Did you hire them this way, or did you make them this way?” An account manager may be told to lead the client relationship, only for the founder or agency leadership to step in whenever something goes wrong. The client then learns that the account manager is not really in charge. The account manager loses authority. The founder remains trapped in the relationship. And everybody wonders why the account manager isn't becoming more commercially confident. Jenny argues that agency leaders need to orchestrate their involvement so that the account manager remains visibly in control. Delivery reliable is not the same as business relevant A client may be perfectly happy with the work and still begin to question the value of the relationship. Why? Because the agency isn't bringing anything beyond delivery. Jenny's 30/30/30/10 framework provides a useful way to think about strategic client meetings: 30%: What happened and what has been delivered? 30%: What happens next? 30%: What are we seeing in the market, with other clients and in the wider business environment? 10%: Agency news and corporate information. That third 30% is where the relationship can become genuinely valuable. It gives the client something they cannot get simply by reading a project report. Your client doesn't owe you their attention Jenny discusses research suggesting that a marketing director spends less than 7% of their working week managing all supplier relationships. Even if that figure varies by role or organisation, the principle is important. Your agency is competing for a tiny amount of attention. If the conversation consists entirely of status updates, delivery detail and requests for the next project, why would a senior client prioritise it? The agency has to earn the conversation by bringing something useful to it. Protect. Expand. Win back. Then win. Marcus challenges the conventional emphasis on new business. His proposed sequence is: Protect what you have. Expand where there is a genuine opportunity. Win back what you have lost. Then go and win new business. That changes the way an agency thinks about revenue. Instead of treating existing clients as an account-management problem and new business as the growth engine, the existing client base becomes something to actively understand, protect and develop. Multi-threading is risk management Another recurring theme is relationship concentration. If all the trust and knowledge sits with one person on the agency side and one person on the client side, the relationship is fragile. Jenny recommends building relationships with multiple stakeholders, including people above and alongside the day-to-day contact. Marcus takes this further by asking agencies to understand who owns the decision, change, risk, political influence, value after purchase and day-to-day implementation. The objective isn't to go around the account manager's contact. It is to understand the organisation well enough that the relationship isn't dependent on a single individual. Practical takeaways If you lead an agency, ask: Which existing accounts are genuinely growable? Does the account manager have time to grow them? Are account management and project management being confused? Does the team understand the client's business well enough to discuss outcomes? Are your meetings mainly downstream status updates? What external perspective are you bringing to clients? How many relationships do you have inside each important account? What happens when a major project finishes? When did you last interview your senior clients independently? Are you inadvertently undermining the people you expect to lead your client relationships? And perhaps start with Jenny's final recommendation to agency owners: “Pick up the phone and talk to your client.” Memorable ideas from the conversation “Account management is sitting on a gold mine.” “Protect, expand, win back, and finally win new business.” “Did you hire them this way or did you make them this way?” “If you have even 1% of their attention, you're probably doing quite well. So do not squander it.” “Delivery reliable” is not the same as being “business relevant”. About Jenny Plant Jenny Plant has spent more than 25 years working in agencies, alongside experience on the client side in the airline and pharmaceutical sectors.
