You know that feeling when you wake up and your first thought isn't about your day, your dreams, or even your coffee, but instead it's about who needs what from you today? Your partner needs you to handle that thing they've been putting off. Your kids need you to solve their problems before they even head off to school. Your clients need responses to emails that came in overnight. Your team needs decisions. Your parents need check-ins. And somewhere in the back of your mind, there's this tiny voice asking, "But what about what I need?" And you push it down because there's no time for that right now. Too many people are depending on you. Too many responsibilities that can't wait. But what if we've got this completely backwards? What if the most generous, loving, impactful thing you could do for everyone in your life is to make your own life your number one priority? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this episode, I'm sharing why YOU'RE number one in your life (and why you need to start acting like it) so you can stop drowning in everyone else's needs and start creating the life you're meant to live. Why we were conditioned to believe good women put everyone else first (and why that's killing us) The real cost of managing everyone else's life while yours is on pause How the "oxygen mask principle" goes deeper than you think Why your children need to see you prioritize yourself (not just hear you talk about it) The three questions to ask before saying yes to any request How to create non-negotiable time for yourself without guilt Why guilt is actually proof you're doing something different (not wrong) How to communicate this shift to your family and clients Christine's Personal Story: How her ex-husband's advice to their sons, "You're number one," became the inspiration for this episode, and why every woman needs to hear that same message.

Director Ridley Scott returned to outer space with the 2013 Alien prequel Prometheus, set on a distant world, and two years later, when he adapted Andy Weir's best-selling 2011 novel, Scott visited another extraterrestrial destination, albeit one relatively closer to home: Mars. On the Red Planet, Matt Damon plays an astronaut stranded by fate who must survive in the harsh environment while his NASA colleagues come up with plans to rescue him. With an ensemble cast, including Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sean Bean, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan, Aksel Hennie, Mackenzie Davis, Donald Glover, and Benedict Wong, the film was an interplanetary success, premiering at Number One and going on to top the box office for multiple non-consecutive weekends. Just a month after its release, the film surpassed Gladiator to become Scott's highest-grossing film at the domestic box office. With Weir's novel Project Hail Mary set to get the big screen treatment next year, we're visiting The Martian for its tenth anniversary, and we promise to bring him home when we're done!

I feel like the bubble is about to burst any minute. But I'm riding the wave whilst it lasts. To be honest, it's such a wierd feeling to get so much support and positivity in the press. For the last decade I have been used to being vilified and having so much negativity and hate thrown my way. I've been honest about my mistakes. I've done silly things and I've suffered a lot with my mental health but I feel like I have really turned things around now it feels so good to be in a much better place and see how you have all reacted. I can't thank you all enough for making one of my songs number. It really is a dream come true and it shows no matter how bad things can be, it will get better and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Long may it continue Learn more about your ad choices.

Hire Yourself Podcast with Pete GilfillanTwo people can own the same franchise—one thrives, the other fails. Why?In this episode, Pete Gilfillan breaks down the real reasons why some franchise owners soar and others stall. It's not about having the perfect resume or business background. It's about attitude, discipline, and how you show up as an owner. If you're a corporate executive eyeing franchise ownership, these five success factors are non-negotiable.In this episode, Pete discusses:1. Work Ethic and EnergySuccess starts with you. It takes relentless effort, discipline, and energy to get a business off the ground. Pete compares it to getting a plane off the tarmac—you've got to power through the launch phase.2. Follow the SystemFranchise success is built on replication. Pete explains why the most successful owners follow the playbook, while also looking for smart ways to make the system better—not reinvent it.3. Problem Solving is the JobSetbacks are part of the journey. From staffing issues to marketing failures, Pete emphasizes that being a great franchisee means being a persistent problem-solver.4. Lead People, Don't Just Manage ThemToday's employees want purpose, not just a paycheck.

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
At the age of sixteen, I was wandering around the streets of a lower working class area in the suburbs of Brisbane, working my first job, trying to sell expensive Encyclopedia Britannica to the punters who lived there. Despite my callow youth, I had a tremendous gift as a salesman. I could tell by looking at the house from the outside whether they were interested or not in buying Encyclopedia Britannica and so could determine whether I should knock on their door or not. I was saying “no” for the client. Obviously, I had no clue what I was doing. The only training we received was to memorise, word for word, a twenty five minute pitch for the buyer, synchronised with showing the flash looking pages inside the encyclopedia. I am sure though there are many much older and wiser salespeople out there, still making that fundamental error I was making. Eventually, I discovered I didn't have any x-ray vision gift. I was just an idiot. There will be plenty of opportunity for the buyer to say “no”, so we shouldn't be joining in to support them on that quest. Even before the call, we will have anticipated some potential pushback and we are fully armed and ready to go when it emerges. I was reminded of this x-ray vision into the buyer problem recently. The top salesperson of an organisation I know, said “no” for the buyer. He was an intermediary for me with the client and didn't like one of the conditions of the sale I was proposing. This was an important source of his commissions for him and they had been a big buyer over a number of years. He had them wrapped up in cotton wool and was extremely nervous about maintaining the relationship. I have learnt the hard way and so I don't believe in saying “no” for the buyer, so I pushed it. I rejected his rejection and told him to put my request to the client. We got into an elongated email wrangle over this, but not only am I dim most of the time, I am also supremely stubborn, especially when it comes to sales. Stubborn and dim is a lethal combination. He didn't like it at all, but he held his nose and put my proposition to the client. Guess what? They went for it. As we say in Japan, “even the monkeys fall from the trees” and even Mr. Number One sales guy can get it wrong. I refrained from mentioning that Japanese proverb of course or being a smarty pants and just thanked him for his cooperation. One common case of saying “no” for the client is when the prices are raised for the product or service. Salespeople invariably will start whinging to the boss, that the client will never agree to buy at that higher price. Effectively, they are saying “no” for the buyers. There are many ways to dilute the pain of raising the price. The terms of payment can be elongated. The guarantees and warranties can be expanded. The rise can be counterbalanced by discounts for volume purchases. The proposition can be ramped up on the value equation scale. Additional incentives can be packed together with the original offer to justify the price rise. Services can be thrown into the product purchase process to make it more palatable and vice versa. Interestingly, salespeople complaining about the price increase, spend zero time thinking about how to sell the value increase to the client. Price increases are one thing, but defending existing prices against discounting is another case of having to say “no” to the customer. In Japan, salespeople are very weak in front of the customer. The buyer here isn't King but GOD and GOD doesn't brook hearing “no” from salespeople. The constant complaint from our clients is that their firm's salespeople identify too closely with the client and don't defend the company's policies well enough, including pricing. I had the same problem with one of my salespeople. He was happy to discount and take a lower commission, even though the firm made very little profit. He got his base salary and some commission, so he was happy. I wasn't so happy. I get it - the logic is simple. The salesperson heavily invests in the relationship with the buyer and works hard to defend that relationship, even against their own employer. This sounds crazy, but they know the value of an existing customer, compared to the pain and effort to find a new buyer. This is where the value element has to be worked on more, so that salespeople can justify the existing pricing, without resorting to discounts to get the business. The basic sales skills of the team have to be improved, especially their communication skills. This don't say “no” for the client arena, shows the real capabilities of the salesperson. Sadly, there is a major population decline underway here and salespeople are in increasingly short supply. The quality of the people we can hire isn't going to improve, so our sales training mechanisms and our sales leadership mechanisms, become even more important than any time in the past. Are you ready for this and are your people ready to say “yes” for the buyer?

In this episode, I sit down with Jason Guss, CEO and co-founder of Octane Lending, to discuss how the company became the #1 powersports lender in the country. The conversation covers Octane's early pivot from lender aggregator to direct lender, their dominance in niche markets, and strategies for thriving in challenging interest rate environments.Jason talked about how their early focus on good unit economics and then profitability put them in a great position during the challenging times of 2022 and 2023, enabling them to gain market share and rebound quicker than their competitors. He also has some interesting things to say about the banks in the market and strong thoughts on the importance of capital markets.In this podcast you will learn:The A-B test that led to the founding of Octane Lending.Why they built a loan origination system right off the bat.The “burn the ships” moment when they decided to pivot the business.How they were able to last sixteen months with very little revenue.The different niches within powersports where they provide financing.Their typical loan terms.The total size of the powersports market and the percentage Octane has.The advantages that Octane has competing with banks in this market.How their loan application works at the point of sale.How their customers are navigating a higher interest rate environment.Why an efficient capital markets function is so important.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Is Elon Musk OK?Just a few months ago, the prancing right-winger was constantly in the news. Today, though – poof! – he has vanished from media coverage. But fret not -- Elon always finds money to take care of Number One. Indeed, this month he was handed a $30 billion pay raise by his car company. Yes, BILLION.Odd, since his stewardship of Tesla in the past couple of years has been disastrous. Sales, profit, quality, and market share are in the ditch, along with his own reputation. Yet, in a gushing letter to shareholders, the corporation's board of directors asserted that its $30 billion handout was a “critical” gesture to induce Elon to show up for work. Apparently, $29 billion would not have been enough.Who are these board members who supposedly “govern” the corporation and its CEO? One is Kimbal Musk. Yes, Elon's brother! Others are close pals and lackeys, each of whom is extravagantly paid. For example, the board member who “negotiated” that ridiculous giveaway to His Supremeness has pocketed more than half a billion dollars in profits from Tesla stock options she has been granted.Well, declare apologists for Musk and his captive board, if $30 billion was excessive, the shareholders who technically own Tesla could've sued to stop payment. Uh… no, they couldn't. Last year, Musk moved Tesla's official residence to Texas, where the corrupt governor dutifully passed a law dictating that only shareholders owning at least three percent of the stock can sue on matters of corporate governance. Basically, that eliminates all shareholders except: Musk.And that's how the corporate merry-go-round is rigged to keep spinning around and around and around.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Ross Hickey of Shippeo talks about supply chain visibility - closing gaps, building future-proof tech stacks, change management, and driving business value. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [03.39] An introduction to Ross and his role at Shippeo, and a reminder of who Shippeo are and how they help their customers. [04.45] From in-transit uncertainty to the first and last miles, the typical blind spots Shippeo see with their customers, the problem of fragmentation, and why organizations often overlook key areas in their transportation networks. “Fragmentation really is the root cause behind so many problems.” [07.53] How businesses can start to evaluate their ecosystem to shine a light on blind spots and tackle fragmentation. “Organizations need to take a more diagnostic approach at the actual problem itself.” [10.24] Shippeo's seven value drivers, and how closing visibility gaps leads to overall performance improvement. “What if your logistics team had immediate access to information at their fingertips, understanding exactly what's going on with their shipment and proactively alerting the external stakeholders as to what's going on? Meaning any time a customer is reaching out, you can treat that as an escalation, that shouldn't be standard business as usual.” [15.25] How real-time visibility impacts key business outcomes for Shippeo customers. “Think of visibility as your system of information powering your system of orchestration.” [18.25] Understanding your ‘why' and leveraging that to build a business case for real-time visibility. [20.58] How organizations should be thinking about their tech stack as they look to translate visibility into business value. “The technology is the enabler, to enable people to become more effective in achieving the outcomes they want to achieve. So rather than focusing on: ‘What tech do I specifically need?' It's about identification of the problem, and aligning technology to that.” [25.31] The importance of partnership, and how businesses should approach choosing the right partner, ensuring that their investment is scalable and technology future-proof. [29.17] Why change management is critical to digital transformation, and how organizations can shift their teams mindset to work with new solutions in a more strategic, proactive way. “The technology works, but getting people to adapt to it, to work with it and use the information they're being given – that's the bigger challenge.” [34.04] Collaboration and what successful cross-functional alignment needs to look like. [36.27] Ross's final words of advice for listeners to take away from today's discussion.

In the shadowy underbelly of the Cold War, the CIA cooked up one of the most jaw-dropping, morally bankrupt experiments in American history—Operation Midnight Climax. Picture this: secret safehouses rigged with two-way mirrors, government-employed prostitutes luring in unsuspecting “guests,” and LSD slipped into drinks while agents sat back, took notes, and occasionally… joined in. Yeah, this was real, taxpayer-funded, and every bit as insane as it sounds. This week, we're taking you inside the twisted world of George Hunter White and his cast of spooks, crooks, and acid-dropping guinea pigs. From mind control fantasies to public scandal, we'll cover how it all started, the wildest stories from the operation, and the shocking fallout that still shapes conspiracy theories today.

Episode Summary Thomas and Frank revisit Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 1 Episode 1 and explain why it works for both new and longtime fans. We cover Pike's headspace after Discovery, Spock and TPring's engagement, how Order One becomes the Prime Directive, and how a single battle accidentally kickstarts a warp arms race on another world. We also dig into the show's look, the crew dynamic, canon ties from Eugenics Wars to Wrath of Khan, and how modern Trek balances optimism with real world echoes. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome to Challenge Accepted and why this episode is a great Trek starting point 01:04 What the Prime Directive means and why it matters 02:37 Pike in Montana and the call to rescue Number One 03:14 Kidnapped Number One and strange warp tech on Kylie 279 03:58 How Enterprise and Discovery footage led to a warp bomb and a broken Prime Directive 04:18 Pike's big stick moment that ends a civil conflict 05:19 Why warp cores are powerful and dangerous in the wrong hands 06:26 Canon notes on Eugenics Wars and World War Three 08:07 Pike's leadership style and visions of his fate 10:02 The rescue team and Rebecca Romijn's Number One 14:22 Spock across eras and why Ethan Peck works 15:13 Spock as a lens for humanity and Wrath of Khan ties 22:23 Representation and the franchise's long history of inclusion 31:28 Production value and the volume driven look 39:17 La An Noonien Singh and the weight of canon on character arcs Key Takeaways Strange New Worlds S1E1 is a clean entry point that reintroduces core Trek ideals while setting up Pike's personal stakes. The Prime Directive is framed through cause and effect when an earlier battle leads an emerging world to build a warp bomb. Pike leads with empathy and accountability, inviting his crew to think instead of dictating answers. The episode blends canon history like Eugenics Wars and Wrath of Khan with a fresh, episodic tone. Visuals carry real weight, with cinematic ship shots and a polished stage volume look. Trek's tradition of inclusion is present through character and story, not lectures. Memorable Quotes “This is such a great entry point for new Trek fans and returning Trek fans.” “Okay. What is the Prime Directive. Let's just get that out.” “We actually broke Order One so now we have to intervene.” “Pike is that cool cowboy and he still admits his flaws.” “The ships and sets look incredible and it makes the story easy to buy.” Call to Action Enjoyed the episode.
