In today's episode of The Lindsey Anderson Show, I'm diving into the topic of bro marketing and why it's no longer serving service-based businesses. If you're unfamiliar with the term, don't worry–I'll break it down for you. Bro marketing refers to aggressive, get-rich-quick tactics that have become increasingly ineffective as audiences have become more discerning. This style of marketing isn't aligned with most businesses anymore, leaving many entrepreneurs and online business owners frustrated and disconnected from their ideal customers. The pressure-filled sales tactics of fake scarcity and high-pressure pitches just aren't working like they used to, especially with today's online consumers who are more skeptical than ever. Today's guest is here to give us the scoop on what's actually working now–and spoiler alert: it's not another new trend or hack. Instead, we're talking about going back to the basics and making those core strategies work for your business. If you're looking to grow your visibility, attract more leads, and close clients in a way that feels authentic and sustainable, this episode is for you.Guest Introduction:My guest today is Leslie Hassler, an author, speaker, and strategic business advisor who helps service-based business owners grow with predictable profits and less overwhelm. She's the founder of Your Biz Rules, a fractional C-suite firm that helps businesses scale through hands-on strategy and leadership. Leslie is also the author of Scaling Rich, a book that's all about growing your business without burning out, while ditching bro marketing for strategies that actually work. I'm so excited to have her on the show today, and I know you're going to walk away with some actionable insights on how to grow your business the right way.Ditch Bro Marketing for Profitable Growth - Key Takeaways:Bro Marketing: This approach relies on aggressive tactics that make the customer feel smaller, often using fake scarcity and high-pressure sales. While it may work for some, it's misaligned with entrepreneurs and online business owners focused on sustainable growth and healthy customer relationships.Post-Pandemic Trust Issues: With bad actors online and the rise of AI, customers have become more skeptical. Marketing needs to evolve to align with a more cautious and informed audience.Customer Acquisition Through Aggressive Tactics: While bro marketing can bring in quick leads, those leads often aren't the best fit for your business. The emotional, pressure-filled approach leaves customers unaligned, leading to poor long-term relationships.The Valley of Despair: This concept describes the lowest point customers can hit when they feel desperate, which compromises their ability to make rational decisions and makes it harder for businesses to provide effective solutions.Alignment is Key: Real success comes from aligning your marketing strategy with your values, your ideal customers' needs, and long-term business goals. Misalignment leads to stress, burnout, and unsustainable growth.Bro Marketing vs. Authentic Marketing:Bro Marketing relies on putting customers down and using fear tactics to push them into making a decision. It often feels manipulative and misaligned with values. Authentic Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on understanding the customer's real needs and offering solutions that build long-term value and trust. It calls people forward to be the best versions of themselves, while bro marketing thrives on fear and scarcity.Client Relationships and Hope:Leslie explains the importance of hope and belief in business. When clients are in the "valley of despair," they've often lost hope, which makes it hard to engage them meaningfully. Restoring hope is key for success. Clients...

Anna and Ed are co-first authors for this work. We're presenting these results as a research update for a continuing body of work, which we hope will be interesting and useful for others working on related topics.TL;DR We investigate why models become misaligned in diverse contexts when fine-tuned on narrow harmful datasets (emergent misalignment), rather than learning the specific narrow task. We successfully train narrowly misaligned models using KL regularization to preserve behavior in other domains. These models give bad medical advice, but do not respond in a misaligned manner to general non-medical questions. We use this method to train narrowly misaligned steering vectors, rank 1 LoRA adapters and rank 32 LoRA adapters, and compare these to their generally misaligned counterparts. The steering vectors are particularly interpretable, we introduce Training Lens as a tool for analysing the revealed residual stream geometry. The general misalignment solution is consistently more [...] ---Outline:(00:27) TL;DR(02:03) Introduction(04:03) Training a Narrowly Misaligned Model(07:13) Measuring Stability and Efficiency(10:00) ConclusionThe original text contained 7 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: July 14th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/gLDSqQm8pwNiq7qst/narrow-misalignment-is-hard-emergent-misalignment-is-easy --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:

In 2023, researcher Daniel Kokotajlo left OpenAI—and risked millions in stock options—to warn the world about the dangerous direction of AI development. Now he's out with AI 2027, a forecast of where that direction might take us in the very near future. AI 2027 predicts a world where humans lose control over our destiny at the hands of misaligned, super-intelligent AI systems within just the next few years. That may sound like science fiction but when you're living on the upward slope of an exponential curve, science fiction can quickly become all too real. And you don't have to agree with Daniel's specific forecast to recognize that the incentives around AI could take us to a very bad place.We invited Daniel on the show this week to discuss those incentives, how they shape the outcomes he predicts in AI 2027, and what concrete steps we can take today to help prevent those outcomes.  Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Mark Donnigan, a seasoned virtual CMO and go-to-market strategist known for helping post-Series A tech companies scale with precision. With a background in video technology, streaming, and category design, Mark brings decades of practical insights to the table on what it takes to move beyond initial traction and build a sustainable growth engine.Together, they explore why so many engineering-led startups struggle to scale their marketing, what founders get wrong about hiring, and why understanding the customer journey is non-negotiable. Mark reveals the critical difference between volume and quality in outreach, the dangers of overvaluing brand-name hires, and how scaling today often means rethinking headcount in favor of better systems and tools.From real-world founder anecdotes to lessons learned from giants like Nvidia, this conversation offers a roadmap for any tech leader looking to evolve from early traction to market dominance—without wasting time or burning cash.TakeawaysMost startup marketing failures stem from brilliant founders not understanding how to build a market, not from flawed tech or product.Founders should remain hands-on in go-to-market strategy far longer than they think—often for years.Your best early-stage salesperson? You, the founder.Misalignment with customer pain is the root cause of ineffective messaging.Many engineering teams don't truly listen to customers or experience the product from their users' point of view.Messaging must evolve with the customer's buying journey; spray-and-pray approaches often backfire.Scaling doesn't always mean hiring—sometimes systems, automation, or refined processes are more effective.Hiring former big-tech talent can backfire; startup success demands scrappy, self-sufficient operators.Know whether your motion is sales-led or product-led to define how marketing supports growth.Talking to just 5–7 ideal customers can provide the clarity needed to realign your strategy.Founders should read Play Bigger—Mark calls it “the Bible of marketing” for tech startups.Tools like AI and agents can enhance output without bloating teams, especially in early scale stages.Chapters00:00 Intro: Why most leaders fail at hiring and marketing02:11 Meet Mark Donnigan: Virtual CMO for post-Series A tech companies03:49 Why founders struggle to scale marketing after traction05:36 When (and if) founders should hand off go-to-market efforts07:50 Diagnosing messaging failures and the role of listening11:12 Customer immersion: The missing link in product-market fit14:32 Slack, productization, and building for yourself15:48 Scaling marketing: What does “scale” even mean?17:18 Systems vs. headcount: Scaling smarter with AI and automation21:24 Messaging cadence vs. volume: Mapping to the buyer's journey24:27 Why marketing funnels fail and journey mapping wins25:48 The mistake of over-indexing on “big company” hires28:50 The inertia myth: Why prestige doesn't equal startup fit31:55 Mark's billboard advice: Get in the field, talk to customers33:27 How many customer convos are “enough” for clarity34:50 Favorite Book: Play Bigger and the power of category design35:57 How to get Mark's free marketing mini-books36:25 Outro: Better leaders build better companiesMark Donnigan's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdonnigan/Mark Donnigan's Website:https://growthstage.marketing/

Send us a textWhat if the greatest barrier to sustainability success isn't cost, materials, or regulation, but something far more fundamental? Matthew Rogerson, founder of The Pack Scout, reveals the startling truth uncovered in his research with over 220 executives from 185 global companies.Behind the familiar challenges of sustainable packaging lies a profound misalignment that derails even the most well-intentioned initiatives. When departments pull in different directions—procurement focused solely on cost reduction while marketing and sustainability teams push for innovations that inevitably increase expenses—the result is compromised products that satisfy no one completely.This disconnect extends beyond corporate walls to how companies communicate with consumers. "Companies talk about what they're doing and how it benefits them," Rogerson explains, "but they don't tell you or me as consumers why we should care." This failure to transfer ownership—helping customers see themselves benefiting from sustainable choices—undermines engagement with even the most eco-friendly offerings.Perhaps most revealing is Rogerson's analysis of sustainable materials. His research demonstrates that virtually every alternative, from seaweed to mushroom-based packaging, would become 30-40% cheaper than virgin materials within approximately 6.5 years. Yet short-term business imperatives prevent companies from making investments that would yield substantial financial and environmental benefits over time.The path forward requires fundamental shifts: adopting longer time horizons, ensuring all stakeholders collaborate from the outset of projects, establishing shared objectives that transcend departmental goals, and dramatically improving communication with consumers. Rogerson's comprehensive "Sustainable Packaging 2025-2035" report offers practical frameworks and decision-making tools to navigate these challenges.Discover how to break through the sustainability stalemate and create genuinely aligned strategies that deliver for your business, your customers, and our planet.

What if burnout isn’t about being too busy—but about being “fine”? In this honest solo episode of Leading You, Julie unpacks the quiet, insidious kind of burnout that so many high-achieving women experience—the one that hides behind the word “fine.” It’s not the dramatic collapse we associate with burnout.

Your first month as a leader matters—don't let the momentum fade.In this week's episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen Gombault breaks down what really needs to happen in the critical first 30 days of a new leadership role. The initial excitement has worn off, the hallway hellos have faded, and now all eyes are on you to lead.This episode delivers five strategic moves to help you transition from being the “new hire” to a respected, trusted leader who gets things done—without falling into the trap of overthinking, overworking, or burning out.Whether you've just stepped into a new role or want to reset your leadership presence, this episode will help you lead with confidence and intention in the moments that matter most.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Clarify your mandate—don't assume alignment. Ask your boss directly: “What does success look like in 90 days?” Get it in writing and compare it with what your team expects. Misalignment erodes trust fast.2. Define your leadership style early. Let your team know how you operate—your preferences, boundaries, and expectations. Consistency builds psychological safety and makes you easier to follow.3. Deliver a visible, meaningful win. Find a low-risk, high-impact problem to solve. Don't wait for people to notice—communicate what you did and why it matters.4. Deepen relationships with key players. Schedule check-ins with your boss, your team, and key peers. Use “reverse feedback” meetings to invite trust and collaboration.5. Anchor yourself emotionally. Imposter syndrome often kicks in by week four. Keep a list of what's working and give yourself credit—your brain needs proof that you're making progress.“People this month might not be giving you polite in the hallway anymore. And they're looking and starting to judge—which by the way is completely normal.” - Karen GombaultBy the end of your first month, you're no longer the new person. You're the leader. This episode gives you the practical steps to solidify trust, define your leadership brand, and stay grounded while pressure builds. Start making intentional choices that build your credibility from day one.RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS:Free Resource: Build Your Visibility At Work → https://www.karengombault.com/getnoticedStart with Catalyst – A focused 6-week coaching sprint to solve one real leadership challenge with strategy, momentum, and results.

Hey Friend! You know that strange moment when you've done everything “right”—hit the goals, earned the respect, built the reputation—and yet… it feels off? Like the version of success you've created doesn't quite fit who you are anymore? That's what we're unpacking in this first official episode under the new podcast name, A Leader's Purpose. And if you've ever felt like you were wearing armor that looked good but wasn't built for you, this one's for you. Let's talk about how to move from the pressure to perform into the power to lead with clarity and conviction.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 402 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden  and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Erika Pusillo  DESCRIPTION In this episode, Pete, Craig, and Erika discuss the critical aspects of hiring associates in dental practices, focusing on economic expectations, communication, compensation, cultural fit, and the importance of aligning treatment philosophies.  They break down the need for clarity in communication, understanding the true value of compensation beyond percentages, and the significance of cultural fit in ensuring successful associate relationships.  TAKEAWAYS Communication is more of an art than a science. Clarity is kindness; unclear expectations lead to failed associateships. Compensation should be discussed in terms of take-home pay, not just percentages. Cultural fit is crucial for successful associate relationships. Associates should ask about practice growth and performance history. Hiring should focus on long-term goals, not just immediate needs. Continuous communication is essential to prevent misunderstandings. Hunger and integrity are unteachable qualities in associates. Practice owners should be transparent about financials and opportunities. Shadowing can help assess cultural fit before hiring.

Ever felt torn between pushing forward and pulling back—but weren't sure if it was fear talking or your intuition trying to guide you? In this episode, Nicole unpacks how to tell the difference between fear and misalignment, a distinction that can make or break your next move, especially as an entrepreneur or anyone on a path of growth. Using the lens of Human Design, she breaks down how fear shows up through specific gates in the chart, what role the spleen, Ajna, and solar plexus centers play, and why fear often feels like logic when it's actually conditioning. You'll learn how to recognize the unique frequency of each type of fear—mental, emotional, and intuitive—and how they show up in your body. Nicole shares real-world examples from clients and her own experience to show how Human Design isn't just theory—it's a tool for decision-making, trust, and breaking lifelong patterns. She also offers practical ways to start noticing and working with your own fear signatures without getting stuck in analysis. If you've ever found yourself overthinking a decision or second-guessing your path, this episode will help you tune out the noise and tune into what's truly aligned for you.   Learn more about your Human Design and get your full chart for free at https://www.nicolelaino.com/chart Be sure to visit nicolelaino.com/podcastlinks for all of the current links to events, freebies, and more!

In this solo episode of Energy Medicine, Dr. Mary Sanders breaks down how spinal misalignments can do more than just affect your posture—they can disrupt nerve flow, throw off your hormones, and create energetic blocks that ripple through your entire system. She dives into the powerful connection between the physical body and your energetic field, and how one always affects the other.Drawing from her background in chiropractic care and energy medicine, Dr. Mary walks us through how the spine, chakras, and biofield all work together. If you've ever felt off but couldn't quite explain why, this episode will help you start connecting the dots—and tune into your own healing from both the inside and out.Key Takeaways:✨ A single spinal misalignment (subluxation) can disrupt nerve flow and hormonal balance.✨ Spinal nerves form plexuses that connect directly to organs and endocrine glands.✨ Each chakra corresponds with a spinal region and its related hormonal function.✨ Misalignments can create energetic blocks in the chakra system.✨ Your biofield absorbs energy from your environment, affecting your physical health.✨ Chronic energetic imbalances can eventually cause structural issues in the spine.✨ Healing works both ways—physical alignment supports energetic flow, and vice versa.✨ Real transformation happens when science and spirit work together.Contact Dr. Mary:Website: www.drmarysanders.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.maryesanders/Email: mary@drmarysanders.com The Ultimate Meditation Guide to Unleash Your Authentic Self

In this episode of The Internal Comms Podcast, host Katie Macaulay sits down with alignment strategist and leadership coach Zora Artis to explore a crucial question: how can internal comms teams unite people around what matters most? It's no easy task, but Zora brings three decades of in-the-trenches experience. As CEO of Artis Advisory, co-founder of the Alignment People and a partner at Mirror Mirror Alignment, her work focuses on getting leaders and teams unstuck and helping organisations untangle competing priorities, find common ground and move forward with confidence. As Zora's research shows, only 13% of organisations achieve real alignment and she explains why diagnosing the real problem matters more than simply turning up the volume on messaging. Misalignment often hides in plain sight, masked by polite nods, surface-level agreement and subtle misunderstandings, she says. Meaningful, facilitated dialogue – not broadcast communication – is often the missing piece. She also introduces her ‘3C+' model and cohesion cycle: practical frameworks to help teams stay agile, find purpose and work as one. Along the way, Zora shares lessons from elite sport, psychology and her own leadership journey, where curiosity, courage and a little discomfort all play a role. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Use the hashtag #TheICPodcast to join the conversation, and thank you for listening.

Jeannette talks about the critical topic of mergers and acquisitions, focusing on the common mistakes that buyers often make during these complex transactions. She outlines the top ten pitfalls, including the importance of thorough due diligence, the risks of overpaying, and the necessity of aligning cultural fits between companies Jeannette explains why: Thorough due diligence is essential in M&A transactions. It involves a comprehensive review of financial statements, contracts, and operational workflows to uncover hidden risks and validate claims made by the seller. Buyers should ground their offers in data-driven valuations and not get swept up in bidding wars. Engaging valuation experts can help ensure that the acquisition price aligns with the true value of the business. Assessing the cultural compatibility between the acquiring and acquired companies is crucial. Misalignment can lead to employee disengagement and operational challenges, so developing a cultural integration plan is essential. Successful integration of two companies requires careful planning and clear communication. Mapping out the integration process and defining key milestones can prevent operational chaos and ensure a smooth transition.

In this opening episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I see every day—not just in my clients' lives, but in my own journey too.This episode is for the founder, leader, or high-achieving woman who's asking: “Why am I still exhausted—even when I'm doing the ‘right' things?”What I've come to realize—and what I share with you here—is this: Sometimes we're trying to build a life or scale a business from a place of healing… But we're still making decisions from survival. Still operating inside systems created by our trauma. Still trying to perform and achieve our way into safety.In this conversation, I walk you through:What it really means to define your Owner's Intent—and why this clarity is the foundation of everythingHow to discern whether you're truly running a profit-focused or growth-focused business (even if you think you know)Why strategy alone won't sustain you—and insight without infrastructure will collapse under pressureThe way trauma and emotional patterning show up in leadership, decision-making, and business designHow I restructured my entire business to align with my peace, my priorities, and my purpose—and why you can tooI also share deeply personal stories I've never told publicly about the decisions, pivots, and clarity that got me here.This isn't surface-level “build your dream life” talk. This is about reclaiming authorship—rewriting the operating system beneath your business and leadership so it's no longer driven by the need to prove, perform, or outrun burnout.By the end of this episode, you'll see your journey with new eyes—and walk away with the language and clarity to begin building from a healed, integrated, and intentional place.

Diana C. Toman is a global legal and strategy consultant. She's also a heart-driven badass - the mantra she coined during her week at the Hoffman Process. For much of Diana's career, she hid her softness and kindness, fearing she'd be seen as weak. She would hide her generous heart at work, fearing she would be seen as soft in her role at work. But because she is generous and caring, she would continue to act on her generosity outside of work as long as the recipients kept it quiet. Misalignment causes tension and takes its toll. This is why Diana came to the Process. During her week there, Diana was able to claim her softness and marry it with her badass business acumen. What a powerful combination! The Process, though, brought more healing into Diana's life. Her husband has done the Process, and together they've completed the Hoffman Couples Retreat. Through this work and using the tools regularly, they've come through a rough time, and out the other side of a rough time, they are closer and better able to navigate the life challenges they face together. We hope you enjoy this powerful episode with Diana and Sadie. More about Diana C. Toman: Diana Toman is a seasoned global legal and strategy consultant, founder of Toman Advisory Group, LLC, and a former Fortune 500 Chief Legal Officer.
