In this solo episode, Dan Englander breaks down a truth most agency owners quietly suspect: the majority of sales and marketing advice out there was never written for firms like yours.Most “agency growth” tactics are built for high-volume, productized services with large addressable markets—not for boutique, complex-service agencies selling trust, nuance, and strategy to a few hundred ideal clients.Dan calls this dynamic “The Great Mismatch.”He unpacks why the standard playbooks fail, what constraints actually define upmarket agencies, and how to replace random referrals with a systematic, high-trust growth engine.In this episode • The Great Mismatch: How agency sales advice got optimized for SaaS and high-volume lead-gen firms, not for complex, relationship-driven work. • The Three Constraints Framework: Why your resources, offer, and market size determine your best-fit growth strategy. • The Trust Recession: Why decision-makers are slower to move, and how to build credibility in smaller, skeptical markets. • High School Gym vs. NFL Stadium: How to visualize your true total addressable market and stop over-optimizing for scale. • The Two-Pronged Framework: How to balance direct outreach with systematic referrals and partnerships. • The Referral Engine Playbook: Step-by-step—identifying “Referral-Ready Connectors,” mapping your market in LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and running collaborative intro calls that produce real pipeline. • Partnerships Without the Awkwardness: Why commission-based partner pitches don't work and how to build trust-first collaboration loops.Key Idea “Most of what's being sold as ‘agency growth' advice assumes you have a sales team, a simple offer, and a massive market. But if your service is complex, your team is lean, and your clients are few, you need a different operating system entirely.” — Dan EnglanderResources Mentioned Relationship Sales at Scale → salesschema.com/book Referral Network Diagnostic Workshop → salesschema.com/diagnosticTakeaway For boutique agencies, growth doesn't come from chasing more leads—it comes from getting more leverage out of the relationships you already have.The sooner you recognize The Great Mismatch, the sooner you can build a system that actually fits your market, your team, and your offer.

Vestibular physical therapists Abbie Ross, PT, DPT, NCS, and Danielle Tolman, PT, DPT, sit down with Rob Landel, PT, DPT, FAPTA, to unpack cervicogenic dizziness (CGD) — what it is and isn't, how to tell neck-driven dizziness apart from inner ear causes, and the clinical tools that actually make a difference.They dive into the head–neck differentiation test, cervical joint position error (JPE) testing with a laser, and why CGD rarely causes vertigo or spinning. You'll also hear how concussion, whiplash, BPPV, and migraine can overlap with neck-related dizziness — plus practical insights on manual traction, cervical strength and endurance training, “pain-first” strategies, and when a short-term collar might help (despite its bad reputation).Guest: Dr. Rob Landel Website: skillworks.bizEmail: rlandel@me.com Hosted by:

Laurent and Gerard have an explosive conversation with Bryan Long, Executive Director in JPMorgan's Commodities Group.They explore why U.S. energy market signals are failing to support new capacity investments, despite soaring demand (especially from datacenters).  Key issues include misaligned pricing, liquidity constraints, and hedging challenges, all of which deter long-term private capital.Key Takeaways: Current price signals don't support investment in new generation, even as large load growth (e.g., datacenters) is accelerating. Market structures must evolve to better reflect long-term price signals and attract private capital. Supply-side issues: New natural gas peakers and battery storage (BESS) face fragmented development, rising CAPEX, procurement delays, and tariff risks. Industry response: Major consolidation in the IPP space—private equity-backed assets are being acquired by integrated players seeking scale for hyperscaler deals.Possible solutions may include Repricing of forward curves, Government-backed long-term contracts, Regulatory reforms, Technological advancements Bottom line: Something must shift—be it policy, pricing, or tech—to align investment incentives with future demand growth. The next several years should be great for traders in the middle of the action.Conclusion: Between the Large Load Growth and the Investment Capital, who will blink first?   ------------  Bryan Long is an Executive Director in JPMorgan's Commodities Group, focused on wholesale power & renewable energy transactions. With 20yrs+ experience across various U.S. Power trading, origination and management roles, he has deep understandings of electricity market structures.    

Cutting Off the CCP: Deterrence Through Nuclear Proliferation and Total Economic Isolation. Jim Fanell and Brad Thayer discuss critical, urgent actions required to counter the PRC's strategic forces threat. Given the severe strategic mismatch, Fanell argues that warfighting proliferation must be considered, suggesting nuclear capabilities and proliferation in Seoul, Tokyo, and even Taiwan to change the calculus in Beijing and Washington. Thayer emphasizes that the current downturn in the PRC's economy presents an opportunity to accelerate Xi Jinping's fall, recommending a political warfare strategy focused on evicting Xi Jinping and the CCP from power. Fanell clarifies they are not recommending armed conflict, but rather a strategy of power politics and isolating the PRC, treating the CCP as an evil, pariah regime by denying them access to US money, stripping them of Most Favored Nation status, and removing them from the World Trade Organization. The most important recommendation is the necessity for US leadership to admit failure as the critical first step to repairing damage to US authority and its allies.

Before you build slides, build a picture of the people in the seats. If you don't know who's in the room, you're guessing—and guesswork kills relevance. This practical, answer-centric guide shows how to identify audience composition (knowledge, expertise, experience), surface needs and biases, and adjust both your content and delivery—before and during your talk. It's tuned for post-pandemic business norms in Japan and across APAC, with comparisons to the US and Europe, and it's written for executives, sales leaders, and professionals who present weekly.  How do I discover who will actually be in the room—before I present? Ask organisers for attendee profiles, then verify at the venue by greeting people and scanning badges/cards. In Japan, meishi exchange makes it easy to capture titles, seniority, and company context; in the US/EU, check lanyards and pre-event apps. Arrive early: name badges are often laid out, giving you company mix and industry spread. Chat with early arrivals to learn why they came—training need, benchmarking curiosity, or vendor evaluation—and note patterns by sector (SME vs. multinational), role (IC vs. executive), and region (Tokyo vs. Kansai vs. remote APAC). Use this recon to sharpen examples and adjust your opening. Do now: Arrive 30–40 minutes early; greet at the door; log role, industry, and motivation on a notecard; tweak the first three minutes accordingly.    What levels of knowledge, expertise, and experience should I design for? Assume a mixed room with a few veterans—design for breadth, then layer optional depth. Split your content into “must-know” principles (for novices) and “drill-down” modules (for experts). In technical audiences (e.g., pharma R&D), lab-theory experience differs sharply from front-line sales or operations in manufacturing or retail; in 2025 hybrid teams, you'll often have both. Provide clear signposts: “advanced aside,” “field example,” “Japan vs. US comparison.” For multinationals (Toyota, Rakuten, Hitachi) you can cite regional rollouts; for startups/SMEs, emphasise low-cost experiments and time-to-impact. Do now: Build slides with optional “depth” appendices; announce when you're switching gears so novices aren't lost and pros aren't bored.  How do I surface biases, needs, and wants fast—without a formal survey? Work the room: short pre-talk chats expose objections, hopes, and hot buttons. Ask, “What brought you today?” and “What would make this 60 minutes valuable?” Capture signals such as scepticism (“We tried this in 2023; didn't stick”), urgency (“Quarter-end target”), or constraints (compliance, budget cycle, labour rules). For Japan's consensus-driven cultures, anticipate risk-aversion; in US startups, expect speed bias. Use these inputs to tune case studies and pre-empt tough questions. In Q&A, address stated and unstated needs—what they need to do next week, not just theory. Do now: Before you start, collect 3 needs, 3 wants, and 3 worries; weave them into your transitions and your close.  How do I tailor on the fly if my planned angle misses the mark? Pivot examples, not your entire structure: keep the skeleton, swap the meat. If your personal-branding case assumes FAANG-scale resources but the room is mostly SMEs, replace big-company stories with compact, scrappy plays (part-time champions, Canva-level assets, LinkedIn cadence). Call the audible: “Given today's mix, I'll show the SME path first; enterprise folks, I've got a parallel track in the appendix.” The credibility boost is immediate. Avoid the “corporate propaganda” trap—audiences in 2025 are ruthless about relevance and authenticity. Do now: Prepare two versions of each example (enterprise vs. SME; Japan vs. US) and a one-line “pivot declaration” you can say aloud to reset expectations.  What causes audiences to tune out in 2025—and how do I prevent it? Mismatch of complexity, thin takeaways, and slide-centric delivery send people to their phones. Overly high-level ideas with no “Monday morning” actions feel like fluff; hyper-jargon without scaffolding feels exclusionary. Hybrid fatigue persists post-pandemic—attention spans are shorter, and AI tools raise the bar for specificity (“Show me the checklist, not the vibe”). Combat this with concrete metrics, timelines, and contrasts (Japan vs. US adoption curves; consumer vs. B2B sales cycles). Keep slides lean; make listening valuable by telling the room why their world changes if they act. Do now: Promise three actionable takeaways in minute one—and deliver a one-page recap at the end.  What is the prep workflow that consistently works? Plan the talk, not just the deck: rehearse, record, and review before you're live. Use a phone to record a full run-through; check pace, jargon, and clarity. Replace “nice to know” slides with one story per insight; trim to time. Build a closing action list (for leaders, sales, and ops). As of 2025, layer AI-retrieval signals into your outline—clear headings phrased like search queries (“How do I…?”, “What's the best way to…?”) and time markers (“in 2025,” “post-pandemic Japan”). This makes your messages more discoverable in internal portals and external search. Do now: Final checklist—headlines as questions, bold first sentence answers, optional deep-dives, two alternate examples, 60-second closing actions.    Conclusion Knowing your audience is the difference between a speech that lands and one that launders time. Build intelligence before the first slide, validate it on the door, and keep tuning as you go. Rehearse, record, and review. Then close with a clear, useful action list leaders can execute this week.  About the Author Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Add your email id here to get this directly to your inbox.Do subscribe to show Minimalist Techie over Apple Or Spotify Or YouTube podcast (Click on Hyperlinks for Apple Or on Spotify Or on YouTube) or hear it over email you received through my subscription or on my website.This weekly newsletter is mostly about the article, books, videos etc. I read or watch or my views on different topics which revolves around my head during the week.Point discussed in this Podcast,Why So Few Tech Jobs for Recent Grads?  • The promise vs. the reality  • Data showing how entry-level tech hiring has contracted  • Why companies demand high experience from newcomers  • Role of AI / tooling in shifting the job landscape  • What grads and educational systems can do differentlyData Point & Implication* Entry-level hiring by top tech firms dropped by 50% since 2019 San Francisco StandardImplication - The largest tech companies are hiring far fewer fresh grads, undermining the promise of entry-level paths.* The share of tech job ads requiring ≥5 years' experience rose from ~37% to ~42% from 2022 → 2025 Indeed Hiring LabImplication - More roles are shifting toward “mid/senior-level only,” squeezing the bottom tier.* Projections show ~317,700 new job openings per year in U.S. tech & IT occupations through 2034 Bureau of Labor StatisticsImplication - The volume is there—jobs exist—but many are not entry-level or accessible.* Reports show that many grads (esp. CS grads) now face unemployment rates over 6% — double some liberal arts majors The Economic TimesImplication - It's a disruption: even in “hot” fields, grads aren't guaranteed jobs.* Indications that tech postings are down ~36% vs. pre-pandemic levels RedditImplication - The number of roles overall has contracted, increasing competition.Why This Gap Is Widening * Raising experience bars: Companies prefer safer bets — hiring those with track records, rather than investing in freshers. (Data: experience requirement rising)* Risk aversion & cost of training: Startup budgets and corporate HR often don't want or can't afford ramp-up time for newcomers.* AI & automation's shadow:  • Some entry-level tasks (simple code, scripts, basic data cleaning) are increasingly tackled by AI/ML tools, reducing demand for junior labor.  • This doesn't eliminate the need for human developers — but shifts the requirements higher.* Mismatch of curriculum & industry needs: Education sometimes lags behind tech trends. Graduates might know older languages but not the niche frameworks or cloud / ML / architecture knowledge companies now expect.* Selective hiring & “brand bias”: Companies often prioritize grads from elite universities or known tech schools, exacerbating inequality.* Market cycles & contraction: When the tech bubble deflates or macroeconomic headwinds rise, companies cut or freeze junior hiring first.What Grads / Postgrads Can Do * Build a portfolio of real-world projects  • Open-source contributions, personal apps, data projects, internships—even unpaid or side work.  • Projects that solve real problems, not toy examples.* Learn the in-demand skills & tools  • Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), ML/AI basics, infrastructure, modern frameworks (e.g. React, Node.js), DevOps tools.  • Certifications, bootcamps, micro-credentials.  • Embrace continuous learning—because tech evolves.* Target smaller companies, startups, non-tech firms  • These roles may have lower brand prestige but offer more flexibility and opportunities to learn.  • Many “non-tech” companies need developers for automation, internal dashboards, ML, etc.* Network aggressively & find mentors  • Use LinkedIn, meetups, hackathons.  • Reach out to people in your niche, ask for code reviews, mock interviews, advice.* Be flexible in location / remote work  • Don't confine your job search to top-tier cities only. Remote roles open more doors.  • Be open to contract / freelance gigs to build experience.* Show results, not credentials  • In interviews, emphasize outcomes, metrics, and problem-solving over “courses taken.”  • Demonstrate how your work impacted something, however small.* Consider non-traditional entry paths  • Apprenticeships, technical residencies, bootcamp-plus internships.  • Some tech fellowships let you “earn while learning.”What Institutions & Industry Must DoTo make systemic change, certain players must act:* Universities / colleges:  • Update curricula quicker; partner with industry; offer more work-integrated learning programs.  • Bridge the gap between theory and current tools.* Tech companies / recruiters:  • Re-evaluate job descriptions: reduce arbitrary thresholds (years of experience, brand school).  • Build robust junior hire programs; commit to “grow-your-own” talent.  • Use transparency in hiring pipelines (publish how many fresh grads hired).* Government / policy makers:  • Incentivize companies to hire entry-level talent (tax credits, subsidies for training).  • Support tech education & apprenticeships.To conclude, The tech industry can't thrive if new talent is blocked at the door. To preserve innovation, companies must open pathways; graduates must be strategic about learning and positioning themselves.That is all for this week.

Seth and Sean dive into what anonymous executives and coaches around the NFL are saying about the Texans as well as some of the big questions that what they're saying present.

An insured filed a claim for a lost diamond earring. The stud and its match were scheduled as 1.00 Carat each, “I” color and SI clarity, for $8,000. Her insurer asked Gemcor create a match. When we received the mate, we ran our standard test and found something unexpected: the diamond wasn't natural. It was lab-grown. In the years since its purchase, the replacement cost for lab-grown diamonds has plummeted. But the insured believed they were both natural, and wants a natural replacement.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:58 ] - A client filed a claim for a lost diamond earring, but the mate, initially thought to be natural and scheduled for $8,000, was unexpectedly discovered to be lab-grown, with its replacement cost having plummeted. [ 01:28 ] - Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds, grown from a seed crystal in a lab, and only very high-quality equipment can differentiate them. [ 02:08 ] - The main difference for lab-grown diamonds is value, as they are not rare. Natural diamonds take millions of years, while lab-grown are created in 30 days, making them significantly less expensive. [ 06:12 ] - An insured's original appraisal correctly stated "lab grown," but underwriting dropped this crucial detail from the policy, as the industry lacked awareness of its importance years ago. [ 10:10 ] - If an insurance company pays for a pair and later discovers the remaining earring is lab-grown, salvage recovery is minimal, as there's no market to resell them when new ones can be easily manufactured. [ 11:27 ] - A lab-grown diamond pair purchased for $8,000 in 2001 (or $2,000 two years ago) can now be replaced by the original jeweler for $1,000 or less due to plummeting market prices. [ 14:04 ] - The purpose of insurance is to make the insured whole by replacing the item with like kind and quality, not necessarily the original dollar amount, which is impactful when lab-grown prices change quickly. [ 16:45 ] - Ali & Dana provide a recap of the points above.
