Podcasts about one conversation

What if the metrics you're chasing — the downloads, the likes, the impressions — are quietly steering your business in the wrong direction?  In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Tom Schwab — founder and CEO of Interview Valet and author of Podcast Guest Profits. A U.S. Naval Academy graduate and engineer who found his way into marketing, Tom brings a systems mindset to one deceptively simple question — what are you actually optimizing for? — and to the conversations that actually grow a business, from why most podcasts die in their first ten episodes to what it takes for a leader to step out from behind the brand in an AI-driven world.  Along the way, Tom makes the case that the more technology we gain, the more human we become — and that we may all be just one conversation away from the relationship that changes everything.  Tune in to episode 249 to hear Tom's two mentorship moments — one for the young engineer worried their degree boxed them in, one for the CEO afraid to build a public voice — and his lightning-round reminder that relationships are the one currency inflation has never touched.  AndrewTemte.com

You're probably pretty good at the logistics. Who's getting the kids, who's making dinner, who remembered to call the plumber. But when's the last time you and your spouse slowed down long enough to ask: where are we actually going?In this episode, we're talking about the one conversation that tends to get skipped in even the healthiest marriages — casting a vision for your family. Not a financial roadmap or a five-year career plan, but the deeper stuff: What do we want our family to be known for? What culture are we building? Are we actually living out what we say we value?We get into why this conversation stays missing for most couples (spoiler: it's not laziness), what it actually looks like to sit down and do it, and we model it live with our own answers so you can hear how messy and real it can be.In this episode:Why even great marriages skip the vision conversation — and the three reasons it stays off the tableHow to start this conversation if your spouse isn't exactly jumping at the ideaThe one question that cuts to the heart of it: "If our marriage was in the same place in three years, how would you feel?"What a family mission statement actually is, and why we're changing ours after years of saying you should never change itFour vision-casting questions you can bring to a coffee shop, a playground, or your kitchen table this weekA live, unscripted demo of us answering every question ourselvesThe one degree shift: put something on the calendar.

If you're a real estate agent who knows what to do… but still feels stuck actually doing it, this episode is for you.In this episode, I'm sharing a true story from early in my real estate career—back when I was nervous, overthinking everything, and honestly just trying to figure out how to talk to people without feeling awkward.It started with a simple challenge: go to the mall and start conversations.No perfect script. No strategy. Just a willingness to try.One “scared hello” inside a store turned into a conversation… That conversation turned into a client… And that relationship has now generated over six figures in business, multiple referrals, and something even more valuable than a commission check.This is a reminder that real estate is not just about leads, scripts, or systems. It's about people, relationships, and being willing to move even when you feel unsure.If confidence has been the thing holding you back, this will shift how you think about conversations, lead generation, and what's actually possible when you stop waiting to feel ready.Because the truth is… you don't need more information. You need movement.

Jay sits down with trailblazing entrepreneur and investor Anjula Acharia to explore what it really takes to turn pain into purpose. Anjula opens up about her early experiences with bullying and feeling like she never quite fit in, and how those moments ended up shaping her rather than breaking her. Growing up between different worlds, Anjula unknowingly developed the superpower that would define her career: the ability to see what others miss and connect things that seem completely separate. What once felt like isolation became intuition, and what once felt like rejection became a powerful redirection toward a life of impact and influence. Together, Jay and Anjula explore the side of success we rarely see. Beyond the headlines of billion-dollar brands and global icons is a journey shaped by failure, self-doubt, and constant reinvention. Anjula opens up about a time when she lost everything at once, her business, her marriage, and her sense of identity, and how hitting rock bottom became a turning point rather than an ending. She shares that success is not about having a clear plan, but about trusting your instincts, listening closely, and having the courage to grow. Anjula’s story is a powerful reminder that the moments that feel like everything is falling apart are often the ones quietly setting us up for something greater. In this episode you'll learn: How to Turn Rejection Into Your Greatest Advantage How to Build Confidence When You Don’t Fit In How to Network Even When You Have Nothing to Offer How to Become a Connector People Value How to Pitch Ideas That Actually Get Attention How to Attract Mentors Without Asking Directly How to Trust Your Instincts in Uncertain Moments How to Reinvent Yourself After Hitting Rock Bottom You don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward, you just need the willingness to keep going, especially when things don’t make sense yet.

Send us Fan MailEvery year from May 6 - 12, we celebrate National Nurses Week. For this episode, we invited three nurses who, when combined, have over 130 years of experience. Cathy Galey, Cynthia Hester and Donna Thames sat with us and shared their insights on how they became interested in nursing, their experience in nursing school and training, challenges and changes to their careers, the impact of technology on patient care, what advice they have for future nurses and the most rewarding part of their careers. 

You might be asking the wrong questions. Not bad ones.  Just ones that never get past small talk. And if that's happening in your voir dire… you're missing the moment where jurors actually connect. Because connection doesn't come from: "Where are you from?" "What do you do?" "Have you ever…?" It comes from something deeper. From getting jurors to talk about what they value and actually staying there long enough for it to mean something. Most attorneys don't do this. Not because they don't care… but because they've never been shown how. And that gap? It shows up later in your damages. Coach K and I break all of this down in this week's podcast: What a resonant conversation actually is Why it changes the way jurors see your case And how to start shifting your questions (without it feeling forced or awkward) If your jury feels a little disconnected… this is likely why. Love, Sari Download FREE Worksheet Quote:  "What we're really wanting from our jurors is to invest in the process. And the best time to do that is in voir dire — when they can talk about themselves and what they value… because at its core, what our plaintiff attorneys are fighting for are human values, things that we all care about. And that's what was taken in every single case."  Sari de la Motte Can't get enough of me?

In this solo episode, Scott shares a powerful takeaway from a recent event that reinforces one of the core principles of growth in both life and business. You are only one conversation away. Reflecting on the connections, introductions, and conversations that happened throughout the week, he breaks down how proximity to the right people can open doors, create opportunities, and ultimately lead to transformation. The message is clear. If you want to level up, you have to be intentional about the rooms you put yourself in and the people you surround yourself with Scott challenges listeners not just to seek out connectors, but to become one. Instead of waiting for opportunities, create them for others by making introductions, adding value, and leading with a servant mindset. He emphasizes that growth does not happen by staying in the same circles and having the same conversations. It comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, prioritizing meaningful connections, and taking consistent action. This episode is a reminder that your next breakthrough is likely tied to the next relationship you choose to build.In this episode, you will learn:• Why you are only one conversation away from your next opportunity • How the rooms and environments you choose directly impact your growth • The value of becoming a connector instead of just seeking connections • Why intentional introductions can create exponential opportunities • A simple challenge to take action and build one meaningful connection this week---Scott Grates' Links:Referrals Done Right - https://www.referralsdoneright.orgReferrals Done Right FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/296359076662332Scott Grates Website - https://www.scottgrates.comLove Living Local  - https://www.instagram.com/lovelivinglocal315Scott's FB - https://www.facebook.com/scott.grates.1Scott's - https://www.instagram.com/scottgratesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@scott.grates

In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we speak with Andy, a 40-year-old truck driver from Utah, about his 12-year struggle with urgency and bowel incontinence and the turning point that finally led him to seek help.After years of attempting to mask his symptoms with daily, over-the-counter medication and suffering in quiet isolation, a public accident pushed Andy to have the difficult conversation he had avoided for over a decade. What followed was a diagnosis of celiac disease - an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten - and a treatment plan that transformed his quality of life.Andy shares what it was like to live in silence, the fear of speaking up, the relief of finally getting answers and the dramatic improvements that came with dietary changes. His story highlights the emotional toll of untreated symptoms and the power of persistence, proper testing and lifestyle adjustments.If you've been coping alone, this episode is a reminder: answers are possible, and relief may be closer than you think.For more information about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.Music:Rainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Attn: Grace pads and liners are ultra-soft, highly absorbent and made without fragrances, dyes or bleaches, so nothing comes between you and your comfort.

Five years ago, Melissa Gilbo was one of the first guests on Transcend with M. She came back for Season 3 a completely different woman. And so did I.Melissa is the Founder and CEO of Women's Business League, a national platform for women in business now in its 8th year. She built it from zero. No playbook. No roadmap. Just one honest conversation with a stranger at a local pizza restaurant and the belief that women deserved a community built on real relationships, not transactions.In this episode we talk about what it really means to build something that lasts. Why the women who succeed aren't the ones who network harder, they're the ones who stopped performing and started connecting. What new insurance producers are still not being taught. And why community isn't a nice-to-have. It's the infrastructure.I also share something personal in this episode that I've never talked about publicly before.This one is for every woman who has ever been the only one in the room and wondered if she belonged there.

Type 2 diabetes remission is possible. In this episode of the Health Pioneers Podcast, Dr. Salvatore Gorla explains why the standard medical approach keeps patients stuck managing their blood sugar instead of actually fixing the problem.Dr. Gorla ran one of the largest functional medicine practices in America for over 25 years. He has spoken at Harvard on reversing type 2 diabetes and has helped thousands of patients lower their A1C naturally using his evidence-based three-pronged approach.His journey started after watching his grandfather follow every doctor's order and still die from diabetes complications at age 67. That experience led him to develop a method that targets the three root causes most doctors never address: chronic inflammation, fatty infiltration of the liver and pancreas, and hormone imbalance.What we cover in this episode:00:00 Can type 2 diabetes actually be reversed  05:08 The three pronged approach to diabetes remission 06:56 Why disease management is not the same as health care 08:00 Why insulin resistance is a symptom not the cause 13:22 How inflammation causes type 2 diabetes 17:07 What high A1C does to your brain and mood 21:07 Best diet for type 2 diabetes explained simply 25:34 How big pharma profits from long term patients 28:54 Why hope matters for reversing type 2 diabetes 32:26 The danger of diabetes drug side effects and polypharmacy 35:04 Is type 2 diabetes genetic or lifestyle 36:35 How type 2 diabetes causes erectile dysfunction in men 38:25 Can severe type 2 diabetes still be reversed 41:03 Why internet health information confuses diabetic patientsAnswered In This Episode: Can type 2 diabetes be reversed naturally?Yes. Dr. Gorla explains that type 2 diabetes is one of the easiest chronic conditions to put into remission when the root causes are addressed. His approach focuses on reducing inflammation, removing fatty buildup in the liver and pancreas, and restoring hormone balance.Is managing type 2 diabetes with medication enough?Standard diabetes management treats symptoms but often does not address the deeper causes like gut inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and adrenal hormone imbalances. Many patients on multiple medications still see their A1C go up and down while dealing with serious side effects.What is a dangerous A1C level?An A1C between 5.7 and 6.3 is considered prediabetic and already increases the risk of stroke and heart attack. Dr. Gorla explains why even prediabetes should be taken seriously and treated early.Find Dr. Salvatore Gorla:Website: https://drgorla.com/ Health Pioneers PodcastIf you've ever left a medical appointment feeling rushed, dismissed, or more confused than when you walked in, you're not alone.Health Pioneers is a podcast featuring clinicians and health practitioners who looked at the conventional system and decided to do things differently.Each episode highlights a practitioner who stepped off the beaten path to build a better way of helping patients…one focused on root causes, deeper thinking, and care that actually makes sense.These are thoughtful conversations about how great practitioners think, what they see that others miss, and why they chose a different path.Health Pioneers is a Healthpreneur production hosted by Jim Rohr, our head of marketing at Healthpreneur.

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes are joined by special guest Ryan Schuiling for a deep dive into a moment that sounds less like analysis and more like confession. The discussion centers on startling admissions from a former intelligence official who openly describes the creation of a “steady state” meant to counter President Trump, framing him as an existential threat to the country. The conversation examines whether this mindset reflects institutional self preservation rather than national security, and what it means when unelected actors believe they must intervene in the political process. Ryan Schuiling helps unpack the implications of these statements, exploring the psychological warfare aspect of fear based messaging and how narratives are used to influence public perception. The episode also turns toward the Clinton depositions and uncomfortable exchanges surrounding Epstein, where evasive answers and legal maneuvering raise more questions than they resolve. Throughout the discussion, Ashe, Abbey, and Ryan challenge the idea that protecting democracy can justify undermining it, and ask whether accountability will ever reach the people who openly admit to manipulating the system.

What if the biggest breakthrough in your leadership journey wasn't about having all the answers—but about showing up anyway, doubts and all? In this milestone solo episode, host Cathleen O'Sullivan celebrates 200 episodes by sharing the raw truth behind her podcasting journey—a masterclass in self-leadership, persistence, and knowing when to hold on versus when to let go.  Cathleen opens up about crippling self-doubt, struggling with her accent, and balancing motherhood with building a business. Through it all, she discovered that impact doesn't need to be loud to be meaningful, and that starting small can lead to extraordinary ripples. This episode is your permission slip to take that brave step you've been holding back on.   Episode Timeline: 01:01 A journey of ups, downs, and contemplating quitting  06:08 Battling the inner critic: "Who do you think you are?"  08:07 What does it really mean to lead well?  11:44 What felt tremendously hard: vulnerability and overthinking  15:51 The power of starting small  19:23 Freezing at the first recording: the fear of judgment  21:30 Small steps that helped pushing through 25:15 Key highlights from 200 episodes and extraordinary guests  27:47 What's next: more unpolished truth and deeper solo episodes    Key Takeaway: The Power of Starting Small: You don't need perfection or a grand plan. Leadership begins with leading yourself out of fear and into your next step—one question, one voice, one brave move.  Vulnerability Is Strength: The most powerful leaders often have the deepest doubts. Being visibly human—doubt and all—isn't a weakness; it's your greatest asset and what builds trust.  One Person at a Time: Impact doesn't have to be loud to be meaningful. If one person feels less alone or more understood, it's worth it. Small, consistent changes create ripples.  Alignment Over Approval: Real leadership is about energy, behavior, and intention—not status or perfection. Choose what truly matters over what looks impressive.     Connect with Cathleen O'Sullivan:  Business: https://cathleenosullivan.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathleen-osullivan/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/legendary_leaders_cathleenos/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LegendaryLeaderswithCathleenOS     FOLLOW LEGENDARY LEADERS ON APPLE, SPOTIFY OR WHEREVER YOU LISTEN TO YOUR PODCASTS

The opening chapter of John's Gospel says that Jesus “came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe” (1:9), and Jesus himself said he came “to seek out and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). It's a good reminder that every Christian's mission should be to introduce as many unbelievers as possible to Jesus. The overwhelming majority of non-Christians are closer to Christ than you might think, and all it takes is one real encounter with Jesus to change everything. In this series we'll explore four unique conversations that Jesus had with everyday people - a young fisherman, a middle-aged mother, a religious elder, and a woman with a sordid past - and we'll see how one interaction with Jesus can change a life forever.

In today's episode, you're going to hear a conversation that will help you find meaning again - especially if you've been feeling lost, stuck, stretched thin, or quietly wondering, “Does any of this even matter?” Joining Mel is Ocean Vuong - one of the most acclaimed writers of our time and the bestselling author of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. His newest book, The Emperor of Gladness, moved Mel so deeply she knew she had to bring him on the podcast - because Ocean has a rare gift: he puts words to feelings you've had, but never knew how to say out loud. Ocean is an award-winning poet, a MacArthur Fellowship “Genius Grant” recipient, and a professor at NYU.

The opening chapter of John's Gospel says that Jesus “came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe” (1:9), and Jesus himself said he came “to seek out and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). It's a good reminder that every Christian's mission should be to introduce as many unbelievers as possible to Jesus. The overwhelming majority of non-Christians are closer to Christ than you might think, and all it takes is one real encounter with Jesus to change everything. In this series we'll explore four unique conversations that Jesus had with everyday people - a young fisherman, a middle-aged mother, a religious elder, and a woman with a sordid past - and we'll see how one interaction with Jesus can change a life forever.

On this lively episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Brady Cloven, executive director of Friends of Old Town, and Corporal Rob Sloan, the City of Winchester's dedicated Old Town walking mall officer. Their conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how visibility, relationships, and everyday interaction help keep downtown safe — and welcoming — for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. From Fairfax to Foot Patrol After more than three decades in law enforcement, Corporal Sloan brings a wealth of experience to Winchester. He spent 28 years with Fairfax County Police before relocating north to finish his career closer to home. Although the shift from big-city policing to a small-town walking mall might seem dramatic, Sloan says the transition has been refreshing. Unlike the fast-paced environment of Fairfax, Old Town Winchester allows him to interact with people in positive moments — conversations filled with greetings, gratitude, and genuine connection. Those daily interactions, he explains, make the job uniquely rewarding. Why Foot Patrol Makes a Difference Unlike officers confined to cruisers, Sloan spends his shifts walking — a lot. Averaging 15,000 to 20,000 steps per day, he patrols not only the pedestrian mall but surrounding streets and alleys as well. That visibility matters. By walking instead of driving, Sloan builds familiarity. He learns who belongs, who needs help, and how the rhythm of downtown changes throughout the day. More importantly, people learn him — by name, by face, and by trust. As Brady notes, merchants quickly felt more comfortable once Sloan arrived. Business owners gained a consistent point of contact, and open communication replaced uncertainty. Community Policing in Action At the heart of Sloan's role is community-oriented policing — a philosophy centered on communication rather than enforcement. Whether speaking with visitors, checking in with business owners, or engaging with the unhoused population, Sloan approaches each interaction with respect and conversation first. His goal isn't intimidation; it's understanding. He believes relationships prevent problems before they start — and when issues do arise, familiarity helps resolve them calmly and efficiently. Changing Perceptions, One Conversation at a Time Sloan speaks candidly about misconceptions surrounding law enforcement. Too often, he says, people meet police officers only on their worst days. The walking mall offers a different opportunity — one where children can wave hello, visitors can ask for directions, and families can see officers as helpers rather than threats. Janet reflects on how damaging it can be when parents use police as a form of punishment. Sloan agrees wholeheartedly, emphasizing that children should feel safe approaching officers — especially if they ever need help. On the mall, those everyday positive moments help reshape perceptions across generations. A Walking Welcome Center In many ways, Sloan doubles as a roaming ambassador for Winchester. Tourists frequently stop him to ask where to eat, what museums to visit, or how far away certain landmarks are. Those questions have even inspired him to brush up on Winchester history so he can better serve curious visitors. While he diplomatically avoids choosing favorite restaurants, he excels at pointing people in the right direction — often beginning with the most important qualifier of all: How much time do you have? Safety Through Presence, Not Pressure Much of Sloan's work operates quietly in the background. His uniformed presence alone acts as a deterrent — a concept rooted in the "broken windows" theory of policing. Simply being seen reduces problematic behavior before it escalates. From addressing bicycle and scooter concerns on the mall to educating visitors about city ordinances, Sloan emphasizes that enforcement is rarely the first step. Education comes first. Warnings follow. Enforcement becomes a last resort. The goal, he explains, is never to ruin someone's day — it's to keep everyone safe. Balancing a Complex Downtown Environment Old Town Winchester presents unique challenges. The mall functions as a pedestrian space, a residential area, a tourism hub, and — during certain hours — an active roadway. Add e-bikes, scooters, crowded events, and weekend foot traffic, and safety becomes a delicate balancing act. Sloan works closely with Friends of Old Town and city partners to address concerns as they arise. Community meetings allow business owners to voice issues, brainstorm solutions, and ensure their concerns move up the chain. That collaboration builds confidence — and strengthens trust. Events, Energy, and the Pulse of Downtown As the conversation continues, Brady outlines an active lineup of upcoming Old Town events, from winter food competitions to February's packed calendar: A sausage gravy cookoff benefiting local organizations Chocolate Escape, encouraging shoppers to explore downtown stores Spin to Winchester, a fitness-based fundraiser Black History Month events, including jazz nights, storytelling, and cultural programming Restaurant Week, showcasing the city's dining scene For Sloan, attending monthly meetings helps him stay informed — ensuring he's ready for crowds, questions, and changing traffic patterns. A Familiar Face Makes All the Difference As the conversation wraps, one message stands out clearly: people feel safer when they recognize who's protecting them. Seeing Corporal Sloan walking the mall — stopping into shops, greeting regulars, and chatting with visitors — brings comfort. It reassures business owners, enhances the visitor experience, and reinforces Old Town's identity as a welcoming place. In a space that serves as the heart of Winchester tourism and community life, that calm, consistent presence matters more than most people realize. An Open Invitation Sloan closes with a simple request: say hello. Whether someone recognizes him from the radio, the newspaper, or a casual stroll downtown, he welcomes the interaction. Every handshake, wave, or brief conversation strengthens the community he walks through each day. Because at the end of the shift — after thousands of steps and countless conversations — his job is about more than safety. It's about belonging.

In week two of For the One More, we turn to John 4 and witness Jesus intentionally pursuing one unlikely sinner at a well. Through His encounter with the Samaritan woman, we see a Savior who crosses barriers, exposes the deeper thirst of the soul, and offers living water that truly satisfies. This message reminds us that only Jesus can quench our deepest longings—and that hearts changed by grace cannot stay silent. Come and see the Savior of the world who still seeks the one more.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

What do you do when someone believes you shouldn't exist? Daryl Davis didn't protest. He didn't shout. He sat down, asked questions, and kept showing up. Over decades, that approach has led more than 200 Ku Klux Klan members and white supremacists to walk away from their robes for good. In this conversation, Davis explains why people radicalize, and what happens psychologically when prejudice collides with a real human being. He shares stories from inside Klan meetings, lessons learned from neo-Nazis, and why today's climate of polarization may actually be an opportunity rather than a dead end. Daryl Davis earned his Bachelor of Music degree from Howard University and an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from Post University. He is the author of Klan-Destine Relationships and the subject of the multi-award-winning documentary Accidental Courtesy, which chronicles his work in race reconciliation. A lifelong musician, he has performed with Chuck Berry and President Bill Clinton, and as an actor appeared in HBO's The Wire.

Surviving Triangulation in a Polarized World It's time to reckon with one of the toughest questions in our current public discourse: “How can you think that?” Through stories from his personal and professional life, host Corey Nathan unpacks the emotionally draining phenomenon of triangulation—when we're caught in the middle of opposing viewpoints—and explores how we can respond with curiosity and conviction without losing our sanity. From navigating impossible conversations to confronting conspiracy theories (like the FBI staging Jan. 6?!), Corey challenges listeners to stay in tough conversations while guarding their own well-being. Drawing inspiration from a powerful essay by Christopher Armitage on The Existentialist Republic, this episode dives into the psychology of belief, the cost of defection from "reality bubbles," and the quiet strength of one-degree influence. Whether you're a peacemaker, bridge-builder, or just trying to keep your sanity in polarized times, this one's for you.
