Each project became a practical lesson in storytelling, directing, editing, and problem-solving, allowing them to sharpen their skills faster than traditional development paths.The conversation highlights the importance of momentum, repetition, and audience awareness in today's film industry. By treating filmmaking as both a creative and strategic endeavor, the Jalbert Brothers have learned to use social media and digital platforms as powerful tools for distribution and growth.

In this episode you'll learn: Why women's health needs a full-body reset, moving beyond "bikini medicine" to include brain, heart, immune, and metabolic health. How gaps in anatomy education leave women uninformed, even at advanced education levels, limiting body literacy and self-advocacy. Why women normalize serious symptoms like pain, heavy bleeding, and fatigue, and how this delays diagnosis and care. How to be heard in a short doctor visit by prioritizing and clearly reporting symptoms in advance. Why medical language still reflects gender bias, and how updating anatomical terms can improve understanding and care. What most UTI advice gets wrong, and why effective options like vaginal estrogen remain underused. The difference between screening and prevention in breast health, and why understanding lifetime risk matters beyond mammograms. How male-centered research has shaped women's medicine, and what new science is revealing about female-specific health differences.

How pain management in gynecology is finally changing, with growing recognition that procedures should not require suffering.

Running a jail can feel like a fixed equation: hire staff, manage the facility, keep order, repeat. But Pinal County (Arizona) Sheriff Ross Teeple decided the “that's just how incarceration is” mindset was fueling the same cycle of violence, lockdowns and repeat offenders. His response was as simple as it was controversial: open an entire pod 24/7, pull the detention deputy out of direct supervision, and see whether a responsibility-based model could change behavior, culture and outcomes. The experiment became the focus of Netflix's “Unlocked: A Jail Experiment” and sparked a larger conversation about what risk leadership looks like inside corrections. In this episode of Policing Matters, host Jim Dudley talks with Teeple about how the plan moved from idea to execution, including stakeholder meetings, staff skepticism, and safeguards designed to keep deputies and inmates safe while still testing a real operational shift.

Amazon's new AI shopping agent could reshape how people discover and buy products online. Scott breaks down Amazon's “Buy for Me” initiative, which is an AI-driven shopping flow that can surface off-site products and redirect shoppers to external stores. He unpacks what it could mean for conversion, attribution, and Shopify seller economics. Learn how it works in practice, and why it matters for sellers who rely on traditional storefront traffic. If the shopping experience starts on Amazon and finishes elsewhere, the rules around discovery, trust, and conversion can shift fast. Scott also explains agentic commerce, where AI drives more purchase decisions, and why the impact will vary: small businesses can adapt faster, while larger organizations face more friction. Zooming out to 2026, Scott weighs bearish risks, such as white-collar layoffs, against bullish tailwinds that could keep demand strong and create new e-commerce opportunities.

Traditional employee engagement is broken. Your remote workers aren't seeing celebrations, and generic recognition programs fall flat because everyone's motivated differently. Workplace culture specialists are seeing success with three core strategies: First, use digital platforms like Teams and Slack to make recognition consistent across locations. Second, gamify behaviors that matter—not just sales numbers, but collaboration, innovation, and effort. Third, personalize everything. Let people choose their preferred style of rewards and recognition. Sales teams especially need this. Commission-only motivation leads straight to burnout. Recognize the grind: most calls made, best customer relationships, skills improvement. Celebrate progress, not just closed deals. The leadership shift? Treat recognition as strategic retention, not a nice-to-have perk. Build simple, consistent habits first. Your retention rates will prove it's working. Alex Grande

What happens if you don't verify your SCAC? Is this the beginning of the end for freight fraud in non-Class 8 carriers? Joe Ohr and Holly Taylor are back on the show to discuss the launch of SCAC Verify on February 26, 2026, NMFTA's new mandatory identity and address verification program designed to close a major security gap impacting sprinters, box trucks, hotshots, and other non-Class 8 carriers! We talk about how the fast 1–3 minute verification process works using government ID, biometric selfie matching, and DMV checks across 42 states, why failure to comply could mean losing your SCAC code renewal, and how verified carriers gain a significant competitive edge with shippers, brokers, and insurers. We also cover why this move is about fraud prevention, cargo theft reduction, and carrier trust, how it creates a clean accountability paper trail without storing personal data, and why this standard is likely a preview of future FMCSA and federal regulations. The bottom line of our conversation? This is a leveling of the playing field, a trust signal for legitimate carriers, and potentially a path to lower insurance premiums in a market that has been crushed by fraud!

The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast: Lead Like Never Before
YouTuber Ruslan KD sits down to explain that ambiguity from preachers on cultural issues is costing them more than they think. He shares how the next generation is looking to the church for what to think and how to think. In this episode, we do a deep dive into how the next generation is leveraging YouTube and social media to preach the Gospel.
Dating in 2026 can feel… bleak. Everyone is analyzing “red flags,” burned out on dating apps, and building emotional walls to stay safe out there. Sound relatable? In this episode of Ambition 2.0, Amanda Goetz sits down with relationship expert Amy Chan—founder of Renew Breakup Bootcamp, bestselling author of Breakup Bootcamp, and author of the upcoming book Unsingle: How to Date Smarter and Create Love That Lasts—to talk about what's actually going wrong in modern dating (especially for ambitious women) and how to date smarter. Amy breaks down why high-achieving women can accidentally bring “CEO energy” into their love lives—turning dating into a project, over-functioning, and doing 90% of the work. You'll learn how to stop over-giving, create space so someone can actually show you who they are, and why it's not your job to coach someone out of their insecurity. Plus, Amy shares her “dating funnel” framework (lead generation → evaluation → commitment) and the underrated stage most people skip: the evaluation phase (a.k.a.: dates 3–20, where character is revealed). If you're dating right now—or you want a smarter path to partnership—this episode is for you. You'll learn: Why modern dating feels broken—and how hyper-fixating on red flags is actually blocking connection How “CEO energy” can sabotage dating and what to do instead Why it's not your job to fix or coach a partner out of insecurity What emotional wealth really means (and why it matters more than money) Amy's “dating funnel” framework and why dates 3–20 are crucial How “ick culture” keeps people single How to reopen your heart if dating has made you guarded, burned out, or distrustful 00:00 Intro 03:22 Women's standards are rising—and “survival coupling” is over 05:04 What is the “CEO energy” problem? 07:26 How to leave space and let them show who they are 10:12 Emotional wealth > financial flex: what men can do differently now 14:50 Amy's dating funnel framework 21:08 The internet's worst dating advice GUEST LINKS Instagram: www.instagram.com/missamychan TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@missamychan Read Breakup Bootcamp: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9780062914743 Pre-order Unsingle: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9781419779848 www.renewbreakupbootcamp.com www.missamychan.com www.hearthackersclub.com FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/ | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/ https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast SIGN UP Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/ For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/ ABOUT AMBITION 2.0Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to “have it all” in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

Social media marketing in 2026 looks nothing like it used to. In this episode of Call Her Creator, Katelyn Rhoades breaks down The New Rules of Social Media Marketing: 2026 Edition and why raw, real, human content is officially outperforming polished, scripted, AI-generated perfection. This episode was inspired by a real moment. Katelyn posted a Reel, only to realize a HUGE mishap on camera. But instead of deleting it, she left it up. Because in 2026, imperfections do not disqualify you. They differentiate you. If you feel like perfectly edited content isn't converting anymore, or you're exhausted from trying to look professional, polished, or “on brand” at all times, this episode will change how you think about content creation. Inside this episode, you'll learn: Why raw content beats polished content in 2026 The outdated social media rules that are quietly hurting your growth Why humans now outperform AI on social platforms How imperfection builds trust faster than perfection ever could Why being recognizable matters more than being aesthetic How personality has officially become the new niche Why speed beats production when it comes to growth How to use your real life as your best content strategy What actually builds trust in the unpolished middle How to stand out online without trying to look impressive This episode is for creators, entrepreneurs, business owners, and marketers who want to grow on Instagram and social media in 2026 without sounding scripted, looking perfect, or turning themselves into a robot. If you're ready to stop overthinking, stop re-recording, and start showing up as yourself, this episode will help you rethink everything you've been told about social media marketing. And if you want support building a strategy that actually converts without forcing trends or perfection, Katelyn shares how to join Social Media School at the end of the episode.

Award-winning health journalist Meghan Rabbitt discusses her groundbreaking book, "The New Rules of Women's Health.” This conversation tackles what's broken in women's healthcare—from outdated anatomical terminology named after "pale, male, and stale" doctors to the dangerous myth that women are just "small men." They explore why heart disease (not breast cancer) is women's #1 killer, the clitoris as more than just a "button," autoimmune disease surges in midlife, and why menopause deserves better PR.Episode Overview (timestamps are approximate):(0:00) Cold Open: What's Broken in Women's Health(4:00) The Problem with “Bikini Medicine”(7:00) Why Language Matters: Renaming Our Body Parts(13:00) The Cow Clitoris Scandal & Female Anatomy(22:00) Heart Disease: Women's Real #1 Killer(27:00) Autoimmune Disease Surge in Midlife(34:00) Normalizing Suffering(42:00) How to Use This Book with Your Doctor(47:00) The Upsides of Menopause(51:00) After Party: Dr. Stephanie's Final ThoughtsResources mentioned in this episode can be found at https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep452We couldn't do it without our sponsors:JUST THRIVE HEALTH - Take the Just Thrive FEEL BETTER challenge today, and save 20% on your first order.

Got questions? Send Ericka a Text!Profit doesn't come from working harder or cramming more patients into the schedule. Real profit comes from running your billing department like a business within a business—and using it to lift EBITDA, create predictable cash flow, and make smarter decisions across the practice.We walk through a clear definition of EBITDA and why serious owners, lenders, and buyers use it to judge operational health. Then we connect the dots between daily billing work and big-picture results: coding accuracy as revenue capture, denial management as a cost-to-collect reducer, and AR velocity as the engine of cash strength. You'll hear why sloppy billing erodes margins from both sides—less revenue in, higher expenses out—and how a systems-first approach flips that script with cleaner claims, faster payments, and fewer reworks.From there, we get tactical. We outline the metrics that matter—first-pass claim rate, average days in AR, denial rate by payer, write-off trends, appeal success—and how to use them to forecast collections, control overhead, and plan staffing without panic. We dig into the definition of an unreasonable denial and share a practical escalation and appeal playbook that speeds recovery while protecting productivity. Finally, we make the case for a living billing manual: documented workflows for claim submission, clearinghouse and payer receipt verification, EFT reconciliation, and standardized follow-up so the whole team moves in sync.If you're ready to replace checklists with outcomes and turn billing into a true profit engine, this conversation lays out the path.

Learn how to master rainmaking as a professional through authentic business development strategies. Rainmaking isn't just about closing deals—it's about building genuine relationships and serving your industry first. In this episode of Beyond Seven Figures, Steve Fretzin shares how professionals can develop sustainable business development skills while staying authentic to their values. From surviving a devastating plane crash to becoming one of the top business development coaches for lawyers, Steve reveals why mindset, continuous learning, and adapting to AI disruption are critical for professionals who want to thrive in today's competitive landscape. Steve Fretzin is a four-time bestselling author, host of the Be That Lawyer Podcast, and the leading business development coach for attorneys. For over 22 years, he has helped hundreds of lawyers double or triple their books of business through his Sales Free Selling approach—teaching professionals how to grow their practices authentically without feeling pushy or salesy. Steve is also a plane crash survivor whose near-death experience gave him a renewed appreciation for life and a relentless drive to serve others. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Every challenge and mistake is a learning opportunity that can make you better if you approach it with a positive mindset. Professionals who hide from AI disruption will get hurt—those who adapt and embrace new billing models will thrive. Building recurring revenue with auto-debit payment systems eliminates accounts receivable headaches and creates predictable income. Content creation through articles, videos, and podcasts levels the playing field against competitors with bigger marketing budgets. Sales Free Selling means putting industry and service first, with client acquisition becoming a natural byproduct. Never stop learning—invest in coaches and consultants who have already achieved what you want to accomplish. AI is changing the buyer's journey, making expert profiles and authentic content more valuable than traditional advertising. You get what you want in life by helping enough other people get what they want first.

Amazon's rules changed—and that's good news if you know how to play the new game. We sat down with Neil Twak, co-founder of Voltage Holdings and Cayman Data, to unpack why algorithm shifts have compressed launch windows to roughly 30 days, how structured data now acts like a prompt into Amazon's Cosmo engine, and why intent beats keywords for ranking and profitable growth. Neil makes a clear case for relaunching weak ASINs over reviving old reviews, and he explains how to train the algorithm with PPC while optimizing for tacos, not ACOS.We dig into pricing strategy and brand defensibility in a world of rising fees and policy risk. The winning move is to build in tier two and tier three price bands—$50 to $500—protect at least $12 per-unit profit, target 40 percent ROI, and turn inventory four times a year. That math lets you buy customers aggressively while maintaining healthy margins. Neil also maps a practical channel sequence: capture demand first on Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop, then graduate to Shopify demand creation when your numbers justify the lift. You'll hear why TikTok's GMV Max ads preview Amazon's future, and how display and DSP can send qualified traffic to your DTC store without breaking terms.Data is the moat. Neil pulls back the curtain on Cayman Data's intelligence engine that identifies the small set of customer needs driving most of Amazon's revenue and greenlights product plays that slot into real demand. The big mindset shift: adopt portfolio thinking, validate fast with structured data and lean bundles, then double down only on the SKUs the market proves. If you're stuck in mid six to low seven figures, the unlock is moving from micro-ops to CEO mode—deploy capital faster, tighten cash cycles, and manage by tacos, ROI, and inventory turns.Ready to future-proof your brand and grow profitably on Amazon in 2026?

Nihilo is a rare creative agency in beverage that treats branding as a business discipline, not a design exercise.In this sponsored episode of Business of Drinks, co-founders Margaret Kerr-Jarrett and Emunah Winer join us to unpack their newly released 2026 New Rules Report and what it reveals about how the most effective drinks brands are actually being built right now.The New Rules Report is the centerpiece of this conversation. Based on deep discussions with founders, operators, and investors across beverage alcohol and non-alc, it offers a practical framework for understanding how brand, distribution, fundraising, and operating choices intersect. This isn't a list of trends or a lookbook. It's an operating lens for founders navigating saturation, slower capital, and changing consumer behavior.In the episode, Margaret and Emunah explain why “looking good” is now table stakes, not a growth strategy — and why clarity of perspective matters more than polish. They share why many brands are intentionally simplifying their stories instead of over-educating consumers, how packaging and distribution choices function as brand strategy, and why real-world, IRL activation is once again becoming a primary growth lever.They also break down several of the core “rules” from the 2026 report, including why one strong idea beats a complicated narrative, how contrarian positioning can unlock whitespace when categories crowd, and why profitability, production decisions, and funding paths quietly shape brand meaning just as much as marketing does.If you're a drinks founder, operator, or investor trying to understand how brands are winning in a noisy, capital-constrained environment — and how to apply those lessons to your own business — this episode offers a grounded, strategic playbook.To access the 2026 New Rules Report, visit www.newrulesbev.com.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:YouTubeLinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

Scream 4 (2011) Full Movie Reaction, Breakdown, Commentary & Spoiler Review! — with hosts Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson diving into Wes Craven's razor-smart return to Woodsboro, a sequel that reboots, reinvents, and viciously satirizes a new generation obsessed with horror, fame, and social media. Directed by Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and written by Kevin Williamson, Scream 4 brings back franchise icons Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell — The Craft, Wild Things), Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox — Friends), and Dewey Riley (David Arquette — Eight Legged Freaks) as Ghostface launches a brutal new killing spree in a world shaped by viral videos, internet notoriety, and remake culture. Roxy & Tara break down the film's most memorable moments: the multi-layered fake-out opening kills, the brutal escalation of Ghostface's attacks, the hospital ambush, the “rules of remakes” speech delivered by Randy's legacy, and the shocking final act reveal that reframes obsession, jealousy, and the hunger for relevance in the digital age. They also explore standout performances from Emma Roberts (American Horror Story) as Jill Roberts, Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) as horror-obsessed Kirby Reed, and Rory Culkin (Lords of Chaos) as the unsettling Charlie Walker.

Today we're talking about the future. Not just retirement as a number on a spreadsheet, but retirement as a real phase of life—one that we're all heading toward, whether we're just opening our first 401(k) or already counting down the years.My guest is someone I've turned to for guidance for decades. Christine Benz is the Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning at Morningstar, and if you've ever read a smart, clear-headed piece about investing, portfolio strategy, or retirement readiness, chances are her work shaped it.Christine has helped millions of investors make sense of their money at every stage of life—but especially at the moment when the stakes feel highest: figuring out how to turn what you've saved into a sustainable, meaningful retirement. She's also the author of How to Retire, a deeply practical and human guide that goes far beyond the math to tackle the emotional, lifestyle, and health realities of aging.In this conversation, we're digging into what retirement planning looks like right now: after a long market run, amid persistent inflation concerns, longer lifespans, and big questions around Social Security, healthcare, and caregiving. We talk about safe withdrawal rates, de-risking portfolios, how women need to plan differently, and why flexibility—not perfection—is the real secret to retiring well. Hosted on Acast.
