Dante, owner of Red Bottom Productions, shares his fascinating pivot from executive protection services to adult film production in this candid, and highly interesting, conversation. After selling his business and achieving financial independence, Dante discovered that early retirement wasn't the paradise he expected, social isolation and restlessness led him down an unexpected path.

https://youtu.be/lrnG7ydEErk Saul Marquez, Founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, helps medtech and healthtech companies get closer to revenue through healthcare-focused marketing strategy and execution. Driven by a desire to be a source of love and inspiration, Saul supports healthcare innovators whose work helps people live healthier, longer lives. He believes companies improving healthcare deserve to succeed and should not have to navigate growth alone. In this conversation, Saul shares his Leverage the 3 Forms of Marketing Framework—Owned (podcast, books, content), Earned (Stages, Testimonials), and Paid (Drive Traffic to What Converts). He explains why companies need a clear strategy and strong owned assets before pursuing earned exposure, and why paid marketing should amplify a funnel that already converts. Saul also discusses growing through primary research, thought leadership, podcasting, and conferences rather than relying on cold outreach. He shares why marketing metrics must connect to pipeline and revenue, and how sales blockers, opportunities, and needs can guide the creation of campaigns and sales enablement assets. —   Get Closer to Revenue with Saul Marquez Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with The Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Saul Marquez, the Founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, a healthcare-exclusive marketing strategy and full-service marketing execution firm that helps medtech and healthtech companies accelerate their growth. Saul, welcome to the show.  Steve, such a pleasure to be here with you and your listeners. Thank you for the opportunity.  Well, I really have to get my A-game today because I rarely find a podcaster who’s recorded more episodes than I have. You beat that by a multiple of five or six. So definitely, I have to be on my best performance. But my first question is always the same, at least recently. What is your personal “Why,” and how are you manifesting it in your business?  My personal Why. I did some thinking. This was probably about 20 years ago. I did this program. I’ve always been very reflective, and I’m a big journaler. I love to write my thoughts. And I had the chance to, about 20 years ago, do a program called Date With Destiny. It’s a Tony Robbins program. It was a game changer for me. Five days with people that want to just crush it in life—personal, professional, financial, right? Like, they just want to do the best.  And so I had these five days to myself to really look inside, journal, question. And during that session, he has what he calls your primary question. You sort of look inside and you ask and you think about, like, what are those words, the stories that you tell yourself? And the primary question is that question that drives your life. And I was able to uncover that my primary question is, “I want to be a source of love and inspiration to myself and others.” And so I’m driven by love. I’m driven by inspiration. And so that’s my primary question and my primary Why. And then, when you think about it professionally, Steve, I’m very driven by mission.  So because of that, I started my career in medical devices around the same time that I actually did the seminar. And I’m driven by being able to help people live better lives and increase health span, not just lifespan. And that’s why the work that we do focuses around leaders innovating in the healthcare space. So very driven by those things.  But these are very noble ideas. And I mean, who wouldn’t want to live better, live longer? That’s an obvious need from everyone, really. And it’s a great thing if you can create an impact in that realm, that then you are creating something very valuable.  You are, Steve. And the data point here that I’ll share to pair the purposefulness, the data point, because we’re very data-driven as a business, and I’m a data geek, is that healthcare is essentially 18% of U.S. GDP, which represents $4.8 trillion annually. It’s larger than the German economy, and that’s just the U.S. alone. So whenever anybody says, “Oh, your niche is healthcare,” I say, “Well, I mean, my economy that I’m focused on is healthcare.” It’s huge.  Of course. Yeah.  Yeah.  Yeah. And probably, I mean, we can get into whether that’s not an overinflated number. Is it really that proportionate value? But if you think about it, the biggest resource is humans, then spending 18% of GDP on the biggest resource is not much.  It definitely isn’t. And then if you sort of zoom out and you take a look at globally, GDP focused on healthcare, it’s definitely higher than most first-world countries. And the outcomes aren’t commensurate to the investment. So the opportunity to improve access, affordability, better outcomes is a huge opportunity. And I'm in awe, and I have major respect for all the entrepreneurs and business leaders in this space that are looking to improve those metrics for us in healthcare, and that's why we love to stand behind them.Share on X  The stats are real. 50% of businesses fail within five years, and something above 80% fail within 10 years. And we believe at Outcomes Rocket that if you’re in the business of helping people live healthier, longer lives, you deserve to succeed, and we want to be behind you. And so that’s why we do what we do. The people doing the work, it’s hard, and they can’t do it alone.  Yeah. Love it. Just as an aside, whatever happened to this initiative of Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos that they announced some years ago that they would reform the—  Yeah.  Healthcare?  Haven?  Yeah. I don’t know what it was called.  Yeah, Haven. So yeah, it was Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, and JPMorgan. And it didn’t work. And it shows you that, like, even when the best of the best try to go do something about it, it doesn’t work. It’s hard. It’s hard work. Yeah. It’s hard work.  I bet it’s very hard. So hopefully AI will fix it. Let’s hope. What do you think about that?  That’s a great one, man. Like, AI definitely is not fixing it. However, properly deployed AI in solutions such as ambient scribing that helps physicians spend time with patients and no longer have to do what they call pajama time. Pajama time is the time that they spend at home after hours logging things into the medical record. Like, if you’re able to give a physician time back from not having to do that, and actually time back to look at you in the eyes when you’re in the waiting room, that’s awesome use of AI.  The use of AI in the elimination of waste is also beautiful. So I think as a tool, for sure, there’s huge promise in the use of AI for healthcare. Hell, in robotics, man. Like, I was just at a conference, Steve. I was in Miami. Where do you live, by the way?  I'm in Virginia.  Oh, you’re in Virginia? Cool. I’m in San Diego, where I’m literally at the SRS, so that’s the Society of Robotic Surgery. And I’m in the room, and there was a surgeon in Virginia, actually, and a surgeon in California, and the robots were operating on. It wasn’t a person. It was actually just like a simulation, but it was like a cadaver type of thing. And with AI, spatial AI, and the use of technology, these surgeons are operating in two different states on one person.  Remotely?  Yeah, remotely, and it’s working great through robotics. So all of this stuff, man, is coming together. Yesterday, I had a conversation with an entrepreneur in the materials and 3D printing space. She’s been in it for years, and just chatting with her was inspiring because what they could do now as far as custom-built plates for craniomaxillofacial or foot and ankle, they could literally print this stuff overnight on sheets, whereas it used to take months.  Like, we’re moving fast, and the innovations that are available. She called it patient matching, like the N of one. I mean, what’s possible today for a fraction of the cost than it used to be back then is just inspiring. And it’s happening right before us. So it’s a really great, great time to be alive.  And to stay alive.  And to stay alive. Exactly. Well said, my friend. Well said. Hey, you have to tell me about Summit OS and Fable, man. Like, I love what you have back there.  Well, I’ll tell you all about Summit OS on your podcast, but on this podcast, we talk about you. That’s fair. That’s fair.  I like that. I like that.  So let’s talk about frameworks because this podcast is a podcast of frameworks.  I love frameworks.  And I saw that you have the Discover, Define, Deliver, or something like that. But I’m looking for something more unique. Yeah. So something that maybe that’s more insightful or more unique or more you that you could share with the audience, which still can be explained in four to five steps or elements maximum to which give people an insight as to how to do things better.  Absolutely. So I think you and I are brothers from another mother, Steve, because I just love frameworks as well. So the 3D approach is easy, as you mentioned, right? But it is our approach and how we reproducibly bring about a program from start to finish for a client: Discover, Define, Deliver.  Underneath that, that is the hood to another framework, which when you start to deliver, the framework is essentially a four-part framework that starts with strategy, then it’s owned, earned, and paid, okay? And so those are the types of marketing that you could do. And you mentioned at the beginning we’re a marketing strategy and full-service execution agency, which essentially means we’re a revenue partner, we’re a commercialization partner.  So when you go to market with your value and your value proposition, it all starts with strategy. Strategy is so key. And one of the key quotes that we always share, Steve, is that, “Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost.” And I have to say, Steve, and everybody with us, in marketing, there are so many tactics. Too many. And guess what?  Today, with AI, there are so many tactics. I was just on a podcast a couple days ago where I made this connection. I hadn’t made the connection yet, but you have to have an AI strategy. If you don’t have an AI strategy, you become part of somebody else’s plan, and even worse, you become so fragmented, and it’s reflecting in your P&L. Like, you not having an AI strategy is showing up in your P&L in a big way. But anyway, back to the marketing thing and the framework. So start with the strategy.  Inside of your strategy are some very basic things, such as your personas, your ideal client personas, which is like firmographic, kind of number of employees, revenue, et cetera.Share on X Your core messaging. Your brand house essentially is your vision, your differentiation, and then your performance promise. It’s essentially like three pillars. That’s your strategy and your positioning, right? Then when you go to owned, earned, paid—and by the way, they’re in this order for a reason. It’s like algorithmic.  I liken it to the Rubik’s Cube. I was watching a YouTube video with my nine-year-old, and he was like, “Hey, Dad, figure out how to solve this.” I brought him a Rubik’s Cube from a conference. I watched this four-part video. The guy’s name is Cubastic. Have you ever watched it, Steve?  No.  No? Okay. Cubastic, literally, he’s a genius. Like, in four 10-minute videos, walks you through how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. And I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in less than two minutes and 30 seconds reproducibly now. It’s actually one of my conference tricks now, like whenever I go to a booth. And so I’m sitting there thinking, like, yes, no matter what, wherever the pieces are on the cube, if you use this algorithm, it's a four-part framework it gets you to the same end.Share on X  So I’m thinking, that’s exactly what we do. So the strategy, then owned, earned, paid, in that order. So owned is everything that’s on your website, what you put out on social. If you have a podcast like yours, Steve, this is owned. You own this. It’s the narrative that you own. Newsletters. Then you have earned. Why does this order matter? Well, if you try to do earned media, like if you hire a PR agency to do earned media, get you media attention, and you don’t have your strategy or your story straight, you’re going to confuse the market even more.  So that’s why earned is after owned. And with earned, it’s everything that you get. There’s a gentleman that put it really great. I have to get his name, but I got this from him. OPS, he calls it Other People’s Stages. And there’s digital and there’s physical stages. I’m on your digital stage. You’ve built this thing, and you’ve invited me, and I’m grateful for it. And by the way, I’m going to have you on mine. I want to learn about Summit OS, and I want to learn about your frameworks, and I want our audience to also learn about those.  So there’s an asset here, and we’re doing an exchange, which is beautiful, and we’re spreading ideas that make a difference. So in earned, you’re getting opportunities like on OPS, and those could also be written. So you get a byline article on a publication, right? Or you get invited to speak at a conference. That’s earned. And then there’s paid. And people ask me the question, like, “Hey, I’ve got these paid campaigns going on.” And I’m like, “Dude, you have nothing on your website that supports a narrative. Nobody is talking about you. Why would you even pay for anything?” I don’t care what it is.  Unless you got all those other things right, paid is there, like paid conferences, to get more people that’ll read the brochures that are owned, that’ll see the testimonials that are earned, that’ll convert to opportunities to check out your demo or sit with you to consider what you’re doing as a business to solve problems. And so the paid is essentially a way to increase traffic to an existing funnel that converts.  So essentially, this framework of strategy, owned, earned, paid is the framework of marketing that, if done right algorithmically, you will get results.Share on X And the result is the acceleration of someone, a business or a person, that goes from the awareness to consideration to decision funnel, which is essentially the business funnel for anyone, right? You accelerate the speed at which somebody learns about you and the problems you solve, considers you as a solution, and then makes a decision to work with you. So you’re not really selling a quick fix here, are you?  It’s not a quick fix. There are no quick fixes. You have to commit to the process and get it done.  Yeah, I like it. I mean, that makes complete sense. You have to have some assets that you start with that you own. I like the podcast. Okay, books can be like that. Yeah. Website, of course. Your frameworks are your asset, basically. And then you have to earn the right to actually share what you know. I love it. People validate, go through the stages, and get the testimonials, so you have to deliver. You have to prove that those assets are actually working, right?  Yes.  And then when you have a funnel, you already have a product that has proven itself, then it’s all about increasing the throughput. So paid is what? That’s right.  There is an amplifier.  That’s it. That’s it. Yeah. Yep. Yep.  It makes complete sense. It’s a very good framework. I’ve never thought about it this way, but it makes complete sense to me.  And it’s algorithmic. No matter where the pieces in the cube are, if you run it, you’re always going to end up with the same color on each side. It just works.  Yeah. So if you don’t have your assets, you haven’t earned your right, then you are just wasting your money on paid. Yeah.  Yeah. You’re wasting it. You are. Now, there’s a use case for paid to accelerate learnings. If you’re working on copy that you just need feedback on, there’s a use case to get mass targeted, like your ideal client looking at and interacting with it to understand how to better convert. That’s a use case, right? You’re after conversion optimization data. That’s fine, right? That’s fine. You could use paid to fine-tune conclusions as well.  Can you use paid for market research? Oh, yeah, for sure.  What you should be selling?  Yeah. You could definitely use paid for market research, for sure, if you have an end in mind. If your end in mind is to get more target, and then you just have to decide, right? Like, what payment model should you deploy? Should you put an ad out, or should you work with a partner that has access to a pool of qualified survey respondents? Would it be more efficient to just go through them, right? So it’s just a matter of what the end goal is.  That makes sense. So let me ask you a question, Saul. What drives growth in your business?  So a couple things. We do thought leadership, and so the thought leadership that we do is on healthcare marketing.Share on X And by the way, even though we focus on healthcare marketing, there’s fundamentals there that can apply to any business. So if you’re listening to this podcast and thinking, “I’m not healthcare,” there’s still fundamentals in the research that we do and the data that we mine that can help you.  So thought leadership based off primary research. So every quarter, we do two new reports. We conduct surveys focused on marketing strategies and tactics. Some of the latest ones we’ve done—we did one on podcasting, which is very interesting. We released this one about three weeks ago. This one’s gotten crazy media hits. Like, we’ve gotten over 30 media hits on this one.  PPC covered us, because it’s sexy still. Podcasts are sexy. But we had a lot of findings, and I’ll share the link with you. We don’t charge for our research. It’s free. We offer it to people so that they could do better marketing. Now, the thing that was most intriguing about that report for me, out of a lot of things, was that people are measuring the wrong thing as it relates to podcast marketing. You’ll see the results, but I remember these numbers. 57% are measuring engagement and downloads.  And that’s the wrong thing to measure. I’m going to segue to that later. The right thing to measure if you're a business is pipeline and revenue, not engagements and downloads.Share on X And the quote that I did on an article that I did recently is, “Downloads are vanity. Contacts and contracts are sanity.” Okay? You have to measure the right things. If you’re not a media company selling ads, who cares about downloads? So anyway, podcasts. We did a GTM report. We did one on public relations.  The other one that got a lot of really good traction earlier this year was one on chatbots. We analyzed over 5,700 citations to figure out what exactly are chatbots looking for. And we took a look at those 5,700 citations. It was a breakdown of Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok. And so we said, why and what do these value? It changed the way that we actually post content on our site and our clients’ sites. So that’s a really valuable report that I would literally just take from our site, download into Claude, and say, “Based off of this report from Outcomes Rocket, how should I change up my copy and how I lay out my posts?” Because that’s going to help you get more AI visibility.  We actually have been running those plays on clients, and our numbers on ChatGPT and Claude Search and Gemini Search have gone up for them, right? It’s working. So we do this thought leadership stuff because we don’t like to experiment with our clients’ money. We like to actually do stuff that works and actually figure things out. So that’s thought leadership. And then the podcast is another thing that we do. So I love podcasting, Steve, as we were talking about before we hit record. I get a chance to connect with awesome people. Like, I keep thinking about Summit OS.  I’m going to learn about it on my podcast. I guess I can’t learn it on this one, but I get to meet people like you. We get to connect with listeners, like the ones—like, you’re listening to this because you want to be better. You want to improve your business, and it’s a chance for me to connect with you right now. And I’m going to invite you to reach out to me if something that I said resonates with you, because that’s why we do this. So podcasts are one of our great funnels, Steve. We do podcasting, and we meet a lot of great friends and collaborators and partners and clients through podcasting. And also conferences. So conferences are another amplifier for us. So I would say thought leadership, research, podcasting, and conferences are the best ways for us to grow our business. That's how we do it.Share on X  That’s very insightful. What I’m not hearing here is cold calling, cold emailing, spamming people. You’re not doing any of that. What I’m hearing here is you are giving people great content. You’re teaching people, and you’re connecting with people.  Yes.  Because podcasts, I agree with you, it’s all about connecting with people at a deeper level around interesting topics. Conferences are the same thing. You create relationships, and then you can follow up with the people who you like at the conference and turn them into partners or clients or whatever.  Yeah.  I love it. Love that.  And Steve, you’re a really insightful guy. I’m glad you went to that point. And so I was sitting there literally probably like five months ago, and I was having a conversation with a client of ours, and she was like, “Man, these cold emails that we’re doing,” because they wanted to do them, “I mean, we’re seeing clicks, and we’re seeing opens, but we’re seeing no replies and no meetings booked.” And I said, “Because the way we have to do it is through content.” Yeah. You have to offer.  If you go fishing and your hook has no bait on it, you’re not going to catch any fish, unless a dumb fish runs into your hook. You don’t want that fish anyway, right? That’s what you’re going to catch. And so I said, because I am kind of a data geek, as I shared with you, I said, “I want to own this frustration that you have right now. And here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to hire four lead gen agencies, and I’m going to put one on your account, I’m going to put two on our company, and I’m going to…” I had another client that I was having this conversation with. “I’m going to put another one on their account.” And so I paid for this research project.  I said, “I’m going to learn. I’m either going to learn how to do cold email really damn good because I’ve been not doing well at it.” Guess what? Secret. Nobody’s freaking doing good at it, okay? So, like, three months later, they failed miserably. Nobody was doing anything. So then I said, “Okay, let’s try this. Don’t ask for an appointment. I want you to, on this mass cold email project, I want to change the copy, and I want to put, ‘I want to invite you to my podcast.'” These are the same people that were not replying. Steve, I kid you not, man. Like, within one week, we had 13 people in line that want to talk to them. They’re thrilled. So my takeaway was, cool.  You know what? I’ve been playing too small in sort of these podcast outreaches. I mean, look, at the end of the day, it’s working, but I said, “I’m going to use this mass email failure and turn it into a success by inviting even more people.” So now what we’re doing is actually, with these pools of people that are interested, taking a look at webinars too, so one to few. One to one, one to few, so that we could serve the many.  And so from the ashes of those failures, not only did I feel better about myself, like, dude, nobody is winning at cold email marketing. Nobody. But if you’re thoughtful about it in the way that you do it and what you offer, it’s got to be content-forward. But anyway, I wanted to pick up on your insight there and share our experiment that we ran.  I think also that you and I have been doing podcasting a long time. It’s actually now a huge thing. When I started it, for the first five years, I had no idea what I was doing, why I was doing it. I enjoyed it.  Yeah.  But it wasn’t really a thing. And then now I realize that a lot of people are now starting to do podcasting, but when you have a brand-new podcast, people are going to be much more circumspect to engage with you because they assume it may just be a lead gen engine. But when you have an established podcast with a lot of episodes, then you are a legit media, and then they will engage.  So anyway, that’s an aside. So let me ask you this, Saul, because you’re really a systems thinker, and I like that. What is one thing that you are trying to actively figure out in your business right now?  Right now, the thing that I’m actively working to figure out is really scalability and processes around delivery. So we have a very talented team. We’re small but mighty. There’s 25 people on my team, right? What we do is very bespoke, and our clients really do love how we execute and get results for them. What I’m working on is to master our delivery model so that we are more in line with our clients’ business growth. A few of the things that we’re doing to that end is getting closer to revenue.  What I mean by that is, I don’t know about you, Steve, but my career was mostly in sales in medtech before starting the agency three years ago full-time. And I realized that whenever there was a crunch in a business, some of the first positions to go were marketing. But nobody ever got rid of salespeople. So I started having this conversation with my team about we have to get closer to revenue, right? Get closer to the revenue conversations, have clarity around the revenue conversations. Because if you're close to revenue and you're helping drive revenue, you become more indispensable.Share on X  We might get T-shirts. I was kidding around that our theme is indispensable, and we might get T-shirts that say “Indispensable.” But that’s what we’re working on right now, is solidifying and optimizing our delivery so that we are more indispensable and we can continue growing at the pace that we’ve been growing to the next goals in our year and then our five-year and our 10-year plan.  So essentially, are you saying that getting closer to revenue means getting more directly impacting revenue, more directly making sure that the client is increasing revenue? Because marketing, you can increase marketing, but if it doesn’t have an impact, then it’s going to go away. So is this what you mean?  Exactly.  Yeah.  Because again, back to the whole thing, the quote, right? Like, “Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost.” In marketing, it’s so easy to report on metrics. But if your metrics are not tied to revenue, good luck.  Yeah. And there are some people who are doing great marketing, but they are doing very poorly in converting their leads, and therefore they’re wasting the marketing, and they might fire the marketing agency because you don’t have any clients. But they actually are downstream screwing things up. And if you can help them there, then your marketing is going to be much more resilient.  Yeah. And we’re getting awesome feedback from our clients. They love this. They’re telling us what they need. Right now, where we’re at, it’s three. So we do our weekly reporting, right, to our clients on kind of like what we’re doing on campaigns and research projects and execution. And so in our weekly report-out, we are finalizing sort of these three slides that are essentially sales. Like, the first slide is essentially the top five opportunities for the month and where they’re at. Sales blockers, sales opportunities, and then big needs, like sales needs.  So when the sales call happens, we get a transcript from that call, and the marketer asks the questions about, “Hey, what’s holding you back? What could help you move these deals faster?” We get that transcript, and then we create sales enablement assets or landing pages or campaigns that help move those deals forward. And that’s been awesome. Like, being able to do that, that’s being close to revenue, and it’s something that we’re adapting and being responsive to client needs, and that’s sort of where it’s taken us recently.  Yeah, I love it. Blockers, opportunities, and needs. So how are needs different from resolving the blockers and capitalizing the opportunity? A lot of times there’s overlap there on both of those. Yeah. The overlap is that a blocker could pair with a need that we could solve. But sometimes a blocker could be out of our control. Like, hey, we were going to sell them our microscope, but the MRI machine broke, and now they need to spend money on the MRI machine. Sh*t. There’s nothing we could do. Like, we’re pushing this deal to next quarter. Now, you could try to do stuff, creative financing or stuff like that, and we could have those conversations, but there’s some things that are out of our control.  I wonder if it’s needs or wants. Because I was thinking that maybe the needs are what the client already articulated as something that they realize that they need in order to grow revenue, whereas the blockers and opportunities will give you ideas how you can grow it in ways that they have not thought about.  Yeah.  And therefore, maybe instead of needs, it is the wants, and the needs are the ones that you add based on the blockers and opportunities. I don’t know.  I like that. I like it. No, no, I like it. I like it. And is the idea that, like, wants is a little more creative and open?  No, wants is something that they already articulated themselves that they want to do because they realize that they need that. But they need to do other stuff that they haven’t realized, and that’s what you come up with based on the blockers and the opportunities.  Correct. Correct.  It’s the unidentified wants basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. I like that. I’m going to give some thought to that, Steve.  Yeah.  I like the idea.  Thank you. Thanks for the opportunity to give you a framework, or a framework. I love it, man. I love it. I had to pull it out of you. I had to pull it out of you. Actually, I didn’t. I couldn’t do it. You gave it to me, right? No, no. When the student is ready, the teacher comes, right?  There you go. Well, in that case, the teacher was inspired by the student, but—  I love it.  Whatever.  I love it.  So you said it’s medtech and healthtech companies and payers also that you target? Medtech and healthtech. And the payers, we actually—our clients sell to payers. So we do have a payer podcast where we interview payers and vendors in the payer market. But yeah, our main clients are health technology. So think Software as a Service, AI companies in healthcare, and then medical technologies like medical devices, implantables, wearables, that kind of thing, FDA-approved devices and technologies. Software as a medical device, that’s the medtech space.  Yeah. Love it. So these are the ideal ones. So if these people are listening to this podcast or they are seeing you on social media, you’re promoting this podcast together, where should they go? What do you want them to check out? How can they connect with you?  Yeah. Thank you, Steve. If you’re in the healthcare space and you want to raise your marketing game, increase your revenue, increase awareness of what your company’s doing, we’d love to be a part of it, whether it be you consuming our content. We don’t expect anything from you. Our content is all on outcomesrocket.com. Or you could find me on LinkedIn.

Welcome back to the latest season of The Publisher Podcast, bringing you the best of the main stage sessions from The Publisher Summit. This week's episode is a panel on how publishers are focusing on quality over quantity for long-term, sustainable audience relationships - something which was echoed throughout other sessions on the day. As pressures on traffic and discovery grow, coupled with the bombardment of AI ‘slop', there is an opportunity to lean into a true quality over quantity ethos and reap the benefits. Press Gazette's Charlotte Tobitt is the panel moderator, and she's joined by Maire Bonheim, Head of Newsletters at The Telegraph, Malcolm Coles, Audience Growth Director at Hearst, and Anna Sbuttoni, Deputy Head of Digital at the Times and Sunday Times. They share how actively embracing publishing fewer but higher-quality articles and newsletters has had a measurable impact on audience growth, conversion, and subscriber retention. The panel is introduced by Beth Ashton, Chief Strategy Officer at qwoted. Thanks to the Summit's premium sponsors; Pugpig and Beehiiv, and to the digital sponsors; qwoted, Adestra, Woodwing and Warners for their support.

In this episode of the Hope Natural Health Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a double board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist who has specialized in fertility for nearly 20 years. We talk about the factors that can be missed in a conventional fertility workup, including thyroid and autoimmune issues, sperm DNA fragmentation, blood sugar and insulin regulation, gut inflammation, and the vaginal microbiome. Dr. Simmons also explains why recurrent pregnancy loss isn't always a female fertility issue, how male factors can contribute, and why looking beyond basic sperm analysis may be important.   In this episode, you will learn:  Why recurrent pregnancy loss may involve more than genetics How thyroid, autoimmune, and metabolic factors can affect fertility Why sperm DNA fragmentation and male fertility factors matter How gut and vaginal microbiome health may influence pregnancy outcomes The difference between genetic, epigenetic, and chromosomal factors How targeted testing, sleep, and melatonin can support a more comprehensive fertility approach Connect with Dr. Aumatma Simmons Learn more about Dr. Aumatma Simmons and her work in fertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and root-cause fertility care: Madre Fertility: https://www.madrefertility.com/ Holistic Fertility Institute: https://holisticfertilityinstitute.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/holisticfertilitydoctor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aumatma/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrAumatmaNd   For more on Dr. Erin: Join The Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Work with Dr. Erin here: https://p.bttr.to/3E88ps4 Buy Dr. Erin's Supplements here: https://drerinellis.com/shop Get the Period Productivity Planner here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBYBRT5Q?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Download the FREE Menstrual Cycle Nutrition Guide here: https://detox.drerinellis.com/ Watch The Free Video "7 Hormones Affecting Your Weight Loss Goals" here: https://weightloss.drerinellis.com/ Let's Be Friends: Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.erinellis/ Follow Dr. Erin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drerinellisnmd Follow Dr. Erin on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.erinellis?lang=en Join the Free Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Bookmark Dr. Erin's Website: www.drerinellis.com Subscribe to Hope Natural Health on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHYVmNEu5tKu91EATHhEiA Follow Hope Natural Health on FB: https://www.facebook.com/hopenaturalhealth Sign up for Newsletters here: https://booking.hopenaturalhealth.com/widget/form/VUubL7MNYELduwQL8ssI

They discuss the often-overlooked connection between chronic stress, nervous system regulation, digestion, and the body's ability to heal.

Jared Dillian is a former Lehman Brothers trader, author of seven books, and the founder of Jared Dillian Money. He spent seven years at Lehman, where he was head of ETF trading, before building a successful market commentary and newsletter business. In this episode, Jared shares lessons from launching a newsletter during the 2008 financial crisis, explains why he believes bonds may offer one of the biggest investment opportunities today, and discusses the importance of having a strong voice and maintaining intellectual honesty when building an audience. On this episode we talk about: Why Jared believes bonds may be a better opportunity than stocks in today's market How bonds work and why interest rates can create significant opportunities for investors Jared's experience trading at Lehman Brothers and starting a newsletter during the 2008 financial crisis What makes a successful newsletter, including the importance of having a compelling voice The dangers of confirmation bias and why creators should remain intellectually honest Why Jared avoids consuming other financial newsletters so he can maintain his own independent thinking The challenges and benefits of building an infinitely scalable newsletter business Jared's concerns about lofty valuations and expectations surrounding major IPOs like SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI His new book, The Awesome Portfolio, and his approach to creating a lower-volatility investment portfolio Top 3 Takeaways Your voice can matter more than your accuracy. Jared believes that having a compelling perspective and making convincing arguments can be more important for a content business than simply being right all the time. Think independently and be willing to change your mind. Jared emphasizes intellectual honesty and warns against becoming so attached to a particular viewpoint that you ignore evidence that contradicts it. Look beyond what everyone else is doing. Jared's contrarian approach has led him to see bonds as a potentially attractive opportunity while much of the market focuses on stocks, inflation, and government deficits. Notable Quotes "You have to have something to say. You have to have a voice." "You have to be intellectually honest." "I don't want to bet against him. I want to bet on him.

Kein Faktencheck, sondern Medienkritik. Aline hat das an einem Beispiel festgemacht: die Kampagne gegen das Gebäudeenergiegesetz, den sogenannten „Heizhammer”, die maßgeblich vom Axel-Springer-Konzern vorangetrieben, aber von erschreckend vielen anderen Medien einfach übernommen wurde. Markus Söder behauptete damals, eine Wärmepumpe koste Hausbesitzer*innen 300.000 Euro - eine vollkommen aus der Luft gegriffene Zahl. Ein Faktencheck widerlegt so etwas. Die Aufgabe von Brandmelder beginnt danach: zu analysieren, warum so viele Redaktionen eine derart offensichtliche Fantasiezahl trotzdem unkommentiert weitergereicht haben. Das hat mich sofort an meine eigene Arbeit erinnert. Wenn in Polizeimeldungen „Auto übersah Radfahrerin” statt „Autofahrer*in achtete an einer Kreuzung nicht auf die dann angefahrene Radfahrer*in” steht, ist das exakt dasselbe Prinzip: Sprache, die etwas unsichtbar macht, obwohl die Fakten längst bekannt sind. Werbung in eigener Sache: Dieser Podcast und vieles andere von mir ist kostenfrei nutzbar. Das ist mir wichtig, damit alle informiert werden, auch Jene mit wenig Geld. Solltest du sieben Euro im Monat übrig haben, dann freue ich mich über ein Abo meines wöchentlichen Newsletters. Er finanziert meine Arbeit, die als einzige Mobilitätsexpertin mit radikal intersektionalem Fokus in Zeiten des fossilen und patriarchalen Backlashs grad nicht einfacher wird. Danke für jeden finanziellen Support! Framings, die uns täglich in die Irre führen. Einige Beispiele aus dem Gespräch sind mir besonders im Gedächtnis geblieben: Das saarländische Umweltministerium veröffentlichte eine Rote Liste gefährdeter Arten mit der Überschrift „Ein Drittel der Arten im Saarland ist gefährdet”. Die dpa machte daraus: „Zwei Drittel sind nicht gefährdet.” Aline sagt, das sei für sie bis heute das schlimmste Framing-Beispiel, das ihr je untergekommen ist. Ein weiteres Beispiel ist der Wetterbericht: 30 Grad im Mai als „schönes Wetter” zu bezeichnen oder zweistellige Temperaturen im Winter, bei denen die Bäume schon austreiben, als Grund zur Freude zu verkaufen. Der Witz dabei, sagt Aline, sei, dass „schönes Wetter” selbst schon ein Framing sei, was jedoch nie hinterfragt werde, da der Wetterbericht ja angeblich neutral sei. Oder die Weltklimakonferenz: Wird dort eine klimaschädliche Entscheidung getroffen, heißt es oft „Misserfolg für Klimaschützer*innen“ - als würden diese das Klima nur für sich selbst schützen und nicht für uns alle. Warum Klima kein Sonderthema sein darf. Warum wird das Thema Klima in Redaktionen immer noch als Nischenthema behandelt, obwohl es doch ein Querschnittsthema für praktisch jede Berichterstattung ist? Aline nennt mehrere Gründe: Jahrzehntelange Desinformation hat vor allem ältere Kolleg*innen geprägt, ohne dass ihnen das bewusst ist. Zum anderen sind es klassische Nachrichtenfaktoren, die auf plötzliche Ereignisse ausgelegt sind und mit einer seit Jahrzehnten schleichend eskalierenden Krise nicht gut zurechtkommen. Und eine Art vorauseilende Selbstzensur, gerade im öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk: Bloß nicht „Klima” sagen, weil die Leute angeblich genervt sind – was vor allem daran liegt, dass die Gegenseite in den sozialen Medien lauter ist als die Befürworter:innen. Und schließlich ist da noch das leidige Neutralitätsargument. Aline bringt es auf den Punkt: Journalismus kann gar nicht neutral sein, da jede Journalistin und jeder Journalist durch die eigene Biografie geprägt ist. Was möglich ist, ist Objektivität – aber Neutralität einzufordern, wenn ein Faktum wie der Klimawandel zur Debatte steht, führt direkt in die „False Balance“: 1 999 Klimawissenschaftler:innen sagen, die Erderhitzung sei real, eine Person sagt das Gegenteil – und beide als „ausgewogen“ gleich zu behandeln, ist keine Neutralität, sondern Verzerrung.

Rick Rule recaps a record-breaking Rule Investment Symposium and previews next year's shift from "Living Legends" to "Next Legends," then digs into the portfolio discipline lesson behind his "Amalgamated Aardvark" story — limiting stock ownership to the hours you actually spend studying them. He explains how he uses sentiment (like his contrarian silver buy) as an investing tool, why newsletter writers have lost sway over an increasingly institutional junior market even as free education still builds trust and sells "branded conclusions," and why the newest bull-market entrants tend to be the most arrogant. He also unveils "Pitch Rick," a $5,000 paid-pitch product with real reputational stakes; recounts cutting business ties with an antisemitic promoter at his mentors' request; breaks down why sensible junior mining mergers (like G2 Goldfields/G Mining) get done while others stall on management self-interest; walks through the prospect generator model via David Lowell's Arequipa and Francisco Gold; explains his long-term stake in Ross Beaty's Lumina Metals despite skipping the IPO; and closes by explaining why deep sea mining doesn't yet offer enough precedent to build a defensible valuation model. Furthermore, Rick explains why “occasional failures are the price that you pay for outstanding wins”, using Robert Friedland's early failures as the case study examples. Notable Quotes: • "Price information is of no use unless you have an opinion as to value. Money is made on the delta between value and price." • "The most arrogant will be the least knowledgeable, which is to say the new punter." • "Occasional failures are the price that you pay for outstanding wins." 00:00 Intro 00:36 Symposium Highlights 04:19 Next Year Plans 06:41 Too Many Stocks 10:32 Reading Sentiment 13:33 Newsletters and Media 16:16 Free Education Branding 19:40 Arrogance in Bull Markets 24:06 Pitch Rick Concept 27:09 Dealing With Bad Actors 30:39 Lumina Metals Take 32:42 Why M&A Fails 36:51 Prospect Generator Bets 40:53 Deep Sea Mining View 43:24 Offers and Wrap Up If you would like Rick to review your mining stock portfolio reach out to him at: https://ruleinvestmentmedia.com/ Rule Investment Media YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RuleInvestmentMedia Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

Season 6, Episode 779: Professional Domme, Educator, and Performer Lady Cinder Shares Hot Stuff, Secrets, & Kinks. The Oh F*ck Yeah with Ruan Willow Podcast welcomes guest Lady Cinder! Guest Bio: A neon-gothic dominatrix, hypnotic goddess, and fire deity — Lady Cinder is both performer and priestess. Her art fuses hypnosis, mindfuck ritual, and celestial theatre into acts of control and surrender. A master of psychological seduction and ritual performance, who transforms obedience into worship and an art unto itself. Award-winning, multi-nominated, and born, raised, and based out of Los Angeles, California— yet rarely contained by borders as a touring dominatrix whose presence is as coveted as it is rare. What is offered are not sessions, but experiences: immersive descents into desire, fear, and exquisite surrender. With years of my own experiences crossing vast spectrum of kinks and ritual, I specialize in transforming indulgence into torment, and torment into transcendence. If you like it, I'll torture you with it — until the boundary between agony and ecstasy dissolves into something unforgettable. Those fortunate enough to kneel before Me understand: this is not play — this is metamorphosis. I infiltrate your mind, lick your synapses, and rewire your hunger until you no longer recognize yourself — only your need for Me. Fly Me To You is available for the select few who dare to invite danger and luxury into their own domain. Whether in Los Angeles, on tour, or within the sanctum of your choosing, I deliver not just domination — but a life-altering experience you will never escape.

As AI makes it easier to create more content, human relationships may become more valuable, not less.  In Episode #685 of the New Media Show, host and Podcast Hall of Famer Rob Greenlee talks with Alex Sanfilippo, founder of PodMatch and host of Podcasting Made Simple, about why relationships between hosts, guests, audiences, collaborators, and communities are becoming an increasingly important part of podcast growth. The conversation explores podcast guesting, better host-guest matching, AI-assisted workflows, audio and video podcasting, RSS and HLS, creator-owned communities, and why direct audience relationships matter as large platforms gain more control over discovery and monetization. Human Connection Wins Alex built PodMatch around a simple problem: podcast hosts could find guests, but finding the “right guest” and managing all the administrative work surrounding an interview took an enormous amount of time. The goal is to automate the work around the conversation without automating the human connection itself. Rob and Alex discuss why great podcast conversations create relationships that can continue long after an episode is published. Better Guests, Better Conversations A strong podcast guest should arrive ready to lead with value, not simply promote a book, company, or product. Rob and Alex discuss why: – Every interview should feel different – Guests should bring something new to each conversation – Hosts need to listen rather than simply read questions – Generic AI-generated pitches are easy to recognize – Guest and show alignment matters more than volume – Meaningful conversations are more likely to be shared Alex also explains how PodMatch is using AI to improve host-guest alignment while reducing research and administrative work. Audio, Video and the Changing Podcast The conversation expands into the growing convergence between podcasting and YouTube. Alex remains audio and RSS-focused but believes podcasting and YouTube are increasingly influencing each other. Podcasting brings depth and long-form conversation while YouTube brings visual discovery and engagement. Rob and Alex also discuss the HLS video format, alternative enclosures, separate audio and video feeds, and why the current publishing ecosystem can still feel unnecessarily complicated for creators. Build Relationships You Own As major platforms change algorithms, monetization rules, and distribution policies, creators have another reason to develop direct relationships with their audiences. Newsletters, private communities, memberships, events, collaborations, and other owned audience pathways can turn large platforms into discovery and recruiting channels rather than the entire creator business. Alex sees this community layer becoming an increasingly important part of PodMatch. Discussion Highlights – Why human connection becomes more valuable as content expands – How PodMatch matches podcast hosts and guests – Solo, co-hosted, and interview podcast formats – Podcasting versus YouTube content strategies – RSS, HLS, audio and video podcast distribution – What defines a podcast in 2026? – Why guests should lead with value – Creating unique conversations instead of repeating talking points – Why generic AI podcast pitches fail – Using AI to improve guest-host alignment – Podcast collaborations, review swaps, and podrolls – Building creator-owned communities – Turning platforms into audience acquisition channels – Why trusted relationships may be the creator’s strongest long-term asset Chapter Markers 00:00 When content becomes unlimited, human connection becomes scarce 01:45 Introducing Alex Sanfilippo and PodMatch 03:25 Why podcast conversations matter 07:10 Guests, co-hosts, and solo podcast formats 13:05 Podcasting meets YouTube 17:00 Finding the platform where your audience lives 20:25 Audio, video, RSS, and HLS complexity 27:25 What is a podcast now? 30:05 Why podcast guests need to lead with value 33:00 Every interview should be different 35:20 Listening creates better conversations 38:15 Why unique interviews get shared 41:15 The problem with AI-generated podcast pitches 44:20 Finding real guest-show alignment 48:45 Why Alex has become more selective about guesting 50:40 Using AI for PodMatch alignment 54:35 Podcast collaborations, reviews, and podrolls 57:15 Podcast relationships become communities 58:45 Building audiences beyond rented platforms 01:03:00 Creating relationships with your true fans 01:05:15 Community and the future of PodMatch 01:06:20 Where to connect with Alex 01:07:00 Closing thoughts About Alex Sanfilippo Alex Sanfilippo is the founder of PodMatch, a platform that connects podcast hosts and guests while streamlining the administrative work around podcast interviews. He also hosts Podcasting Made Simple, where he helps independent podcast hosts and guests grow their influence, audiences, and businesses.

On this episode: AI infrastructure has become a political issue at the local level, with recalls, ballot measures, and state preemption emerging as tools communities use to weigh in on whether or not Data Centers should come to town. As the 2026 midterms approach in November, Leslie Graves, CEO of Ballotpedia, and host Norman Leahy explore why data center decisions fall primarily to city councils and county commissions rather than state or federal officials, what candidate surveys reveal about voter concern, and what to expect as communities head to the polls this fall.

In this episode of the Hope Natural Health Podcast, Dr. Erin Ellis talks with Shari B.

Shari shares her Repair, Release, Reorganize, Rebuild framework, explaining how she approaches trauma without requiring people to repeatedly relive painful experiences. She also discusses the importance of starting slowly, creating sustainable changes, and looking at the whole person, including their biology, relationships, beliefs, behaviors, and environment. They also explore Shari AI, the clinical AI tool Shari created to provide support between therapy sessions, and why technology should support human connection rather than replace it.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: How chronic stress and unresolved trauma can affect the body over time Why high-functioning people may have difficulty recognizing their own stress What fight, flight, and freeze can look like in the body Why "start low and go slow" matters when making changes Shari's Repair, Release, Reorganize, Rebuild framework Why mental health care should consider the whole human ecosystem How connection, belonging, and safe relationships support healing Where AI can fit into mental health support, and where human connection remains essential   Connect with Shari B.

From Caterpillar Chaos to Butterfly Consciousness: Choosing the Enlightenment Option August 11, 2026 Check Up from the Neck Up Reality Report August 12, 2026 / Solar Eclipse Healing a Broken World - Promptly Conceive => Believe => Achieve August 17, 2026 Have a Good Laugh! Levity in Brevity August 19, 2026 True Revelations Are Disruptive For 'BS' (Belief Systems) August 22, 2026 The Enlightenment Option Vision-Virtue-Valor for Victory Cosmic Frequencies and Love in Action Christopher Rudy opens the program by describing Cosmic Love as a broadcast about fast-changing world news, consciousness, and Aquarian frequencies. He introduces an AI-assisted song created with co-producer Donald Newsom from Rudy's own Cosmic Love material. The lyrics emphasize love as a source of peace, healing, unity, forgiveness, and conscious evolution. Rudy says the gospel and rap elements energize him because of their frequencies. He frames love in action as the spirit that matters and as the power capable of lifting collective consciousness. The song establishes the program's recurring themes of spiritual awakening, unity, and personal responsibility. Newsletters and the Cosmic Weather Report Rudy organizes the program around five recent newsletters, including Checkup from the Neck Up, The Enlightenment Option, Healing a Broken World Promptly, Have a Good Laugh, and True Revelations Are Disruptive. He describes each newsletter as a Cosmic Love sandwich containing truth, light, love, substantive material, satire, and humor. His cosmic weather report focuses on the sun's transition from Leo into Virgo, yod configurations, the moon in Capricorn, and a cardinal grand cross. Rudy interprets these patterns as concentrating transformational fire and bringing impurities in collective consciousness to the surface. He compares the process to alchemy, in which heat purifies gold by separating unwanted material. These astrological interpretations are presented as Rudy's spiritual and metaphysical analysis. The Caterpillar and Butterfly Metaphor The central metaphor portrays civilization as a caterpillar dissolving inside a cocoon before emerging as a butterfly. Rudy says current chaos, institutional decline, political conflict, and media dysfunction represent the disintegration stage rather than a final collapse. Caterpillar thinking includes cognitive dissonance, paradigm paralysis, stinking thinking, and what he calls being stuck in negativity. Butterfly consciousness represents enlightenment, unified-field awareness, 5D perception, and a new common sense based on global unity in diversity. He encourages listeners to review how far they have moved beyond caterpillar thinking and envision how they can mature and soar. The metaphor allows Rudy to present current instability as a painful but potentially constructive stage of conscious evolution. Communication, Technology, and AI Rudy links global enlightenment to the evolution of communications technology, from Netscape Navigator and early email to interactive media and publishing platforms such as Substack. Drawing on ideas he attributes to Mark Andreessen, Walt Disney, and Buckminster Fuller, he argues that meaningful change comes from building a new model that makes an old one obsolete. He imagines a transition from hardware, software, and networks toward “heartware” and a global TLC reset involving telecommunications, telecare, teleconscience, telecommunity, and telecommerce. AI, in his view, can strengthen authentic intelligence when prompted with love, wisdom, and a whole-system purpose. He presents his AI-assisted music and imagery as examples of the technology's creative potential. At the same time, he warns that AI infrastructure may also support surveillance and a digital control grid when directed by entrenched power. Spiritual Evolution and Aquarian Change Rudy discusses ascended masters, Saint Germain, a 13-moon calendar, the Knowledge Book, and videos about ascension and human evolution. He describes the 2020s as a major turning point at the cusp of Aquarius and treats Uranus in Gemini as a symbol of rapid insight, innovation, AI, and quantum change. In his interpretation, geometry, astrology, Hermetic teaching, alchemy, and quantum reality all point toward an ordered and interconnected universe. He envisions humanity developing unified-field consciousness and becoming the United Sovereigns of Earth within an interactive global village. Rudy acknowledges that people occupy different positions across a spectrum of consciousness and that the change will not occur all at once. He urges listeners to set an intention, focus their attention, retain love, and pursue personal and planetary ascension. Institutional Criticism and a Hopeful Conclusion The latter part of the program presents Rudy's criticism of governments, corporations, media, medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies, immigration policy, climate reporting, election systems, and COVID-era public-health narratives. He quotes or paraphrases memes and public figures while alleging institutional deception, financial conflicts, censorship, and manipulation. These claims, figures, and attributions are statements made by Rudy and are not independently verified in the transcript package. He balances the serious accusations with humor, wordplay, and an appeal to maintain a constructive attitude. Rudy concludes that revelations disrupting old belief systems may ultimately clear the way for a more compassionate and enlightened civilization. His final advice is to keep faith, see the good, dance freely, love openly, and become the change one wants to see.

In this episode of Hope Natural Health, we sit down with Emma Victoria Johnson, an integrative cancer healing advocate, patient educator, and soon-to-be author. After receiving a terminal Stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis in March 2025 with metastasis to her lymph nodes and liver Emma was told she had three months to live without harsh palliative medications. Refusing to accept that timeline, she sought out a whole-person oncology model at the Oasis of Hope Cancer Center in Tijuana, Mexico, under the care of Dr. Francisco Contreras. Today, through integrative therapies and deep personal transformation, her breast and lymph nodes are completely clear as she works toward total remission.   In This Episode, You Will Learn: How Oasis of Hope combines metabolic therapy, ozone, EBOO, IV protocols, and personalized immunotherapy vaccines to train the body to fight cancer naturally. How living in a prolonged "fight-or-flight" state, emotional trauma, and toxic relationships can suppress your immune system and alter your internal environment. The role of eliminating refined sugars, minimizing carbohydrates, incorporating an alkaline diet, and lowering animal protein to support metabolic health. How to trust your inner intuition, put your well-being first, and stand firm when faced with rigid conventional medical systems. How moving through spousal abandonment and loss became the ultimate catalyst for Emma to awaken her inner strength and heal from the inside out.   Connect with Emma Victoria Johnson: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emma_victoriaj Clinic Reference: Oasis of Hope Cancer Center (Tijuana, Mexico) www.oasisofhope.com   For more on Dr. Erin: Join The Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Work with Dr. Erin here: https://p.bttr.to/3E88ps4 Buy Dr. Erin's Supplements here: https://drerinellis.com/shop Get the Period Productivity Planner here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBYBRT5Q?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Download the FREE Menstrual Cycle Nutrition Guide here: https://detox.drerinellis.com/ Watch The Free Video "7 Hormones Affecting Your Weight Loss Goals" here: https://weightloss.drerinellis.com/ Let's Be Friends: Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.erinellis/ Follow Dr. Erin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drerinellisnmd Follow Dr. Erin on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.erinellis?lang=en Join the Free Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Bookmark Dr. Erin's Website: www.drerinellis.com Subscribe to Hope Natural Health on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHYVmNEu5tKu91EATHhEiA Follow Hope Natural Health on FB: https://www.facebook.com/hopenaturalhealth Sign up for Newsletters here: https://booking.hopenaturalhealth.com/widget/form/VUubL7MNYELduwQL8ssI

* The Convergence of the Twin Timelines The speaker describes a “twin timeline” model where the linear experience of daily life is overlaid with a secondary, pre-planned script. This secondary timeline is composed of simulated events designed to capture attention and engineer social conflict.“We talk about the twin timelines. That is the one we live on. You know, past, present, future. Everything's kind of linear. Future's unknown. Past is history. The present is what we experience and also what we see through the news as it's covered, quote, live. But then there's this secondary script. The one that Has a sequence of events that will happen.” “The book is designed to make someone aware of the program. Which the program is the secondary timeline. The fake events. So there's this mistaken notion or presumption that a lot of conspiracy theorists have that these things are just happening on the fly. These influence operations or psychological operations. And no, that's the ruse.”* Structural Fakery and Concurrent Programming Fakery is presented not as a series of isolated hoaxes, but as a systemic, structural feature of media where news and entertainment are synchronized by design. This “concurrent programming” serves as proof that major historic events are scripted simulations scheduled years in advance.

Send us Fan MailHaving a large professional network doesn't automatically lead to more referrals. You can attend conferences, build relationships, and have hundreds of LinkedIn connections, yet still be overlooked when someone needs the exact service you provide.In this episode, Sylvia Garibaldi explores the second recommendation engine that can influence the growth of your practice: your professional network. She explains why being known isn't enough to be referable, and what needs to happen before a professional feels confident putting their own reputation behind a recommendation.Sylvia breaks down the four things referral partners need to do before they are likely to refer you: know you, trust you, understand exactly what you do, and remember you when the right opportunity appears. She also shares how becoming associated with a specific problem or type of client can make it much easier for people to know when to think of you.The episode also covers practical ways to stay top of mind without constantly asking for referrals, including consistent LinkedIn content, newsletters, personal outreach, thoughtful introductions, and finding genuine ways to be useful to your professional contacts. Sylvie also explains why a referral isn't the end of the relationship, but an opportunity to strengthen your connection with the person who trusted you enough to make the introduction.If you want to build a smaller, stronger network of referral partners who understand what you do and know when to recommend you, this episode will give you practical ways to make those relationships more valuable and more referable.What you'll learn: Why Knowing People Isn't The Same As Being ReferableThe Four Things Referral Partners Need To Know Before Referring YouHow To Become Associated With A Specific Problem Or Type Of ClientHow To Stay Top Of Mind Through LinkedIn, Newsletters, And Personal OutreachWhy You Need To Be A Referrer, Not Just Someone Who Receives ReferralsHow To Strengthen The Relationship After Someone Sends You A ReferralHow To Identify And Reconnect With Your Best Potential Referral PartnersResources:Feeling stuck about how to grow your practice, book a free strategy call here.#134 The 4 Recommendation Engines That Grow Your Practice (Part 1: Your Clients)Click here and don't forget to hit the "Follow" button so you never miss a new episode!Download Free Guide: How Lawyers and Mediators Can Attract More Ideal ClientsWant more insights like this?  Sign up for our newsletter.Sign up for our free LinkedIn newsletter on marketing your professional practice Connect with me on LinkedInJoin our online communitySubscribe to my YouTube channel

Welcome, writers and book lovers. The Bleeders is a podcast about book writing and publishing. Make sure you subscribe to the companion Substack: https://thebleeders.substack.com/welcomeToday's guest is novelist and essayist Emily J. Smith, author of the debut novel Nothing Serious. After years of writing, rewriting, and more than 100 agent rejections across two novels, Emily finally found the agent who understood her vision—and sold her debut to a Big Five publisher within weeks.In this episode, Emily pulls back the curtain on her long road to publication, including why she abandoned her first novel, what she learned from agent feedback, and how embracing plot and suspense helped her break into publishing without sacrificing her literary ambitions. We get into working with a developmental editor, landing a Big Five deal, advances and rights, the emotional minefield of cover design, and what publishers actually do—and don't do—for debut authors. Emily also shares the realities of funding your own book tour and publicity, building a platform when you hate social media, growing her Substack, and the personalized outreach that helped generate press and word of mouth.Plus, Emily reflects on the widening gap between blockbuster books and smaller deals, why getting a traditional book deal can feel more like a foot in the door than a guarantee of support, and the publishing lesson she wishes she'd learned sooner.Subscribe to Emily's Substack Unresolving.

This week in the business of podcasting:Tom Webster makes the case that a podcast newsletter is the one channel where creators gather unmediated audience feedback, separating the work of promotion from the work of understanding what listeners actually need.The industry reacts to The AMP Accords, which define a podcast, a play, and an ad impression, with Bryan Barletta, Dan Granger, James Cridland, and Steve Goldstein weighing in on adoption, economics, and whether Apple Podcasts and Overcast will share exposure data.Nick Cicero of Mondo Metrics argues podcasters undervalue social clips, and that sports teams solved this a decade ago by packaging clip distribution alongside full-episode integrations in a single sponsorship deal.Ofcom's Media Nations 2026 report details U.K. podcast and speech-audio listening, with 53% of adults tuning in to speech audio and YouTube leading as the most-used audio platform.To find links to these, and every article covered in today's episode, click here.

In this episode of Hope Natural Health, we break down why adding another supplement rarely fixes your hormone symptoms and what a testing-based reassessment plan actually looks like instead. We dive deep into the real difference between a symptom-driven "supplement stack" and an intentional, data-driven plan. Whether you are staring at a medicine cabinet full of magnesium, ashwagandha, Vitex, and berberine or simply wondering why you still don't feel like yourself, this episode gives you the exact questions and lab testing context to bring to your next provider visit.   In this episode, you will learn:  Why symptom-based supplement stacking often misses the true underlying driver behind issues like fatigue, mood swings, weight plateaus, and poor sleep. The specific targeted labs often skipped in standard workups, including full thyroid panels, ferritin, daily cortisol curves, and properly timed sex hormone testing. How correcting a single underlying root issue (like low ferritin) creates a positive domino effect across multiple, seemingly unrelated symptoms. How to evaluate your current supplement drawer and decide if a product is actually serving a measurable purpose in your health routine. Key questions to ask before adding any new supplement to ensure you have a clear plan for tracking its effectiveness.   Resources & Links: Take the Hormone Quiz to start seeing which hormone patterns are worth testing for: https://hormonequiz.drerinellis.com/   For more on Dr. Erin: Join The Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Work with Dr. Erin here: https://p.bttr.to/3E88ps4 Buy Dr. Erin's Supplements here: https://drerinellis.com/shop Get the Period Productivity Planner here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBYBRT5Q?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Download the FREE Menstrual Cycle Nutrition Guide here: https://detox.drerinellis.com/ Watch The Free Video "7 Hormones Affecting Your Weight Loss Goals" here: https://weightloss.drerinellis.com/ Let's Be Friends: Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.erinellis/ Follow Dr. Erin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drerinellisnmd Follow Dr. Erin on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.erinellis?lang=en Join the Free Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Bookmark Dr. Erin's Website: www.drerinellis.com Subscribe to Hope Natural Health on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHYVmNEu5tKu91EATHhEiA Follow Hope Natural Health on FB: https://www.facebook.com/hopenaturalhealth Sign up for Newsletters here: https://booking.hopenaturalhealth.com/widget/form/VUubL7MNYELduwQL8ssI

It means not worrying about wasting your money - you can cancel anytime during your first 30 days and get your money back. It means getting one-on-one coaching with a TEACHER who wants you to learn and grow and not upsell you on 20 more products. You can do this. I help podcasters. It's what I do, and I can't wait to see what we do together.School of PodcastingVote For Dave
