In Episode 427 of The Daily Influence, Brian Smith dives into the concept of Invisible Leadership—the ability to influence without authority. In a world where social media personalities, athletes, and entertainers wield significant influence, how do we distinguish between credible, responsible leadership and mere opinion-driven persuasion? Brian challenges us to apply the S.M.A.R.T. framework to the information we consume, ensuring we seek truth, context, and integrity in influence. Whether you're a leader, an influencer, or simply someone navigating today's information overload, this episode is a must-listen.Tune in and learn how to cultivate positive and responsible influence—without falling into the traps of misinformation and emotional bias.

Stress and burnout are common and pervasive problems in our society. As today's guest Dr. Aditi Nerurkar writes in her new bookThe 5 Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilience — which came out January 16 — “Stress and burnout aren't the exception anymore, they're the rule.” It turns out that we're all trapped in the stress paradox, where we are completely isolated in our togetherness with stress. Today on the show we talk about that, as well as the five resets she outlines in her book: No. 1, Get Clear on What Matters Most; No. 2: Find Quiet in a Noisy World; No. 3: Sync Your Brain and Your Body; No. 4: Come Up for Air; and No. 5: Bring Your Best Self Forward. We pack so much in today's episode, including explaining both the multitasking myth and the resilience myth; how not all stress is bad stress, necessarily; how critical digital boundaries are, as being hyperconnected is actually being disconnected; what popcorn brain is; and so much more. It's a really interesting conversation, and we leave it with hope that no one's stress is too far gone to be fixed. That's right — no one! Dr. Nerurkar is a Harvard stress expert, nationally sought after speaker, and television correspondent, and writes that these five small but mighty mindset shifts can help us all overcome our stress. She is an expert in stress, burnout, resilience, and mental health, and her work has been featured inThe New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NPR. She found that, even though stress plays a role in nearly 80 percent of doctor visits, only 3 percent of doctors actually offer stress management tips; her work closes that gap. If you're ready to get rid of stress and burnout for good, this episode is for you. The 5 Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilienceby Dr. Aditi Nerurkar

This was a fun and deep and meaningful conversation with my good friend Jennifer McDaniel. Jennifer is a nutritionist and author, and is the founder and director of McDaniel Nutrition Therapy. I first met Jennifer in early 2022 when I was preparing to run the 106 mile UTMB trail race and she was my assigned nutritionist.  In this conversation we explore a trend that we have been noticing in our culture for many people to move away from social media as well as figuring out other avenues to quiet all the technological noise. We have noticed this move in our work with clients, as well as experiencing a personal shift within us. Ultimately, the conversation gets down to the concept of self-worth and how much of it is often built upon notions of one's producitivty and ability to perform tasks. And how it can be difficult to move out of arenas (such as social media, email, hustle culture/work, etc.) when one's self-worth is often maintained by engagement and productivity in those areas.  Below is a list of authors and books and resources mentioned in the podcast.  Jennifer McDaniel Substack  Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May 4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout by Cal Newport Just a Thought: A No-Willpower Approach to Overcome Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind by Amy Johnson In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership by Henri Nouwen  Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr    

Every Day with Jesus - Proverbs 1.20-23 Jobey McGinty We live in an incredibly noisy world. Noisier than any other time in human history, and that is by design...some of our Enemy's greatest weapons are distraction and busyness. As Corrrie ten Boom put it, "If the devil can't make you sin, he'll make you busy." So how do we counter these weapons? The answer is to start simple and small...to just start building with the tools given to us by our Father: prayer, the Word, and Gospel Community. Around these things we build a trellis designed not to look impressive but simply to support the growth of a living, vibrant vine of relationship with Jesus. This won't happen by accident, though. It takes hard work and training, and a commitment to loving and following He who first loved us!

Today is part one of a two-part series to introduce Amber's new book, "Seeking a Gentle and Quiet Spirit in a Harsh and Noisy World." The apostle Peter tells women that a gentle and quiet spirit is of great worth in God's sight. That may sound disturbing for those of us who have not always identified as quiet and gentle. Good news!

Welcome to a new segment of the Sales Gravy Podcast called Ask Jeb! I believe sales professionals are the heartbeat of the economy. You're the ones generating revenue for your organization and fueling innovations that keep businesses thriving. Without your hustle, your company doesn't move forward—and, frankly, neither does the global economy. You're the elite athletes of the business world. Ask Jeb is about you and your real world challenges. It's your agenda and you are in control. On this Sales Gravy Podcast segment, I answer your burning questions on driving revenue, growing your pipeline, leading your teams, and staying ahead of the competition. If you want to get on the show with me and ask your question, sign up HERE Question One: Cutting Through the Noise When Prospecting  Bob from Tullahoma, Tennessee (whom we affectionately call “Outbound Bob” because he's been to our Outbound Conference so many times!) asked a critical question: “Moving into next year, what prospecting advice, piece of technology, or technique would you offer that could apply across all sales organizations and industries? What's our ‘silver bullet'—even if it doesn't really exist?” No Silver Bullet, But... I'm the first to say there's no magic wand in sales—no easy button that instantly books appointments or closes deals. What we do have is the reality of AI-generated “crap” flooding our inboxes and social feeds. This onslaught of automated noise means salespeople must stand out more than ever. Embrace Deep, Differentiated Sequences My top recommendation is to lean heavily into deep, multichannel prospecting sequences. Use everything at your disposal: Telephone (still the fastest way to close deals) In-person visits (yes, face-to-face still works—and people love seeing a real human) Email (but make it personal and relevant) Direct Messaging (LinkedIn, Messenger—wherever your prospect is, be there) Snail Mail (because physical mailboxes are shockingly empty) Networking & Referrals (the original social media) It's not just about persistence; it's about persistence plus differentiation. If you're simply bombarding prospects with a bunch of generic touches, you're just adding to the noise. Instead, craft messaging that proves you understand their world. Messaging That Speaks to Them Good news: the tsunami of poorly written AI outreach actually helps you stand out if your message is empathetic, clear, and focused on the prospect's key interests. Take the time to truly step into their shoes. Know their persona, their industry, and how you solve their burning issues. Show them you've done your homework. Think of It as One Extended Conversation Each touch—voicemail, email, text, or social message—should flow logically from the last. You don't want to leave the same voicemail three times in a row or send “Just bumping this to the top of your inbox” emails day after day. Instead, let your communication build a case for why a conversation is worthwhile. And remember: the number of touches needed to break through keeps rising (15+ touches for warm prospects, 50+ for cold). So, buckle up, play the long game, and keep your messaging sharp. Question Two: Targeted vs. Personalized Messaging After Bob's question, we tackled another big one from a Sales Gravy Coaching client who wished to remain anonymous: How to handle short-burst prospecting and whether it helps to call businesses that share something in common, like location. Short-Burst Sprints I'm a fan of high-intensity prospecting sprints. Carve out 10–15 minutes, chop wood as fast as you can, then take a break. This approach keeps your energy up and your head in the game. Narrow Your Lists Whenever possible, focus on a list of prospects that have something in common—same industry, similar role, or even the same town. That way, your messaging can be targeted, speaking directly to a collective pain point or shared experience.

Fear is quietly running your life—and it's holding you back from the purpose and success you deserve. In this episode, we revisit Dave chatting with one of the keynote speakers for the Biohacking Conference 2025, Ryan Holiday, the bestselling author of Courage Is Calling, to tackle the one thing standing between you and your potential: fear.
