In this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, host Victoria Andrews sits down with student leaders from Northeast Academy for Aerospace and Advanced Technology (NEAT) to explore what happens when a Portrait of a Graduate becomes more than a poster on the wall. Kaylyn Rosado, Connor Mawhiney, and Anna Montero share how student voice shaped their school's learning model—from a student ambassador program and community interviews to classroom practices that build collaboration, empathy, and confidence. The conversation also highlights NEAT's flexible STEM-focused pathways (including aviation, biotech, robotics, coding, and advanced manufacturing), dual enrollment opportunities, and a clear message for school designers everywhere: involve students early, often, and authentically—because agency changes everything.

  This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Andy Bounds, recognized as the UK Sales Trainer of the Year. We're tackling a topic that I know sales professionals everywhere are going to find useful: how communication can be the accelerator for driving more sales, faster.   Andy shares practical, actionable strategies for transforming the way leaders and sales teams engage with customers—shifting the focus from pushing harder or offering discounts to truly connecting, understanding, and delivering memorable value. We dig into common communication missteps that create confusion or resistance, reveal the power of results and offer tips for making sales meetings both engaging and results-driven.   Outline of This Episode   [00:00] Communication drives successful selling [04:04] Focus on outcomes, not sales [08:08] Effective communication tips [11:39] How to be memorable [15:30] Attract customers like current ones [18:27] Targeted niches boost success [20:06] Sales pitch and price objection [22:59] Creating transformative value Selling Is Communication   As Andy highlights, selling isn't a discrete event—it's a series of communications, from the first outreach to the final proposal. Each touchpoint, whether it's a LinkedIn message, a coffee meeting, or a presentation, is a potential turning point in the sales process. Successful sales hinge on getting each stage right, making communication skills arguably the most important ability for today's sales professionals.   Many salespeople believe that shortcuts like pushing harder or offering discounts are the keys to speeding up deal cycles. Andy disagrees, speed comes from clarity, empathy, and excitement about the value you create. Pushing or discounting may close a deal, but it devalues your brand and often leaves the customer with a negative experience. Communication should be focused entirely on what the customer wants, be empathetic, respectful, and charming, and use an appropriate pace.   A memorable, compelling pitch should help the customer see why they are truly "better off after" working with you—what Andy calls "afters." Focusing on the customer's desired future state, rather than on your company's history or features, accelerates decisions and builds trust.   Making Your Communication Memorable   Andy offers a practical tip for those struggling to stand out: make every interaction memorable and charming, not by being slick, but by genuinely caring about the customer's outcomes. Sales isn't about selling your product; it's about selling the positive change your solution will bring to the customer—those crucial results. The formula for charm is simple: be empathetic, focus on their goals, and start by asking what they want to achieve.    What Buyers Really Want—and Where Sellers Go Wrong   Instead of detailed product overviews or self-serving presentations, buyers need two things: certainty they'll achieve their results, and a memorable, confident interaction. Most salespeople spend more time focusing on themselves and their past, when they should spend more time focusing on the customer and the customer's future. Replace the "we were founded in 1922" slide with a story relevant to their goals. Instead of info-dumps, provide proof and certainty that you can deliver.   According to Andy, what trips up salespeople is failing to create an engaging start and a clear call to action. Every communication should begin by connecting to the customer's interests, and every pitch, email, or meeting should close with a suggested next step—not vague platitudes. Without engagement and actionable closes, customers become confused, hesitant, or simply disengaged.   Top Skills and Proven Strategies   Andy shares two key skills that transform results: raise the desired outcome early and ask for referrals. Seeking introductions from happy clients to others like them is an underused and highly effective tactic that benefits all parties. To make communications memorable, Andy Bounds recommends a simple exercise: jot down what buyers actually remember (stories, focus on their needs, humor, interactivity), and make these the pillars of every engagement.   Andy also shares the story of helping a client win a multi-billion-pound deal—not by discounting, but by confidently focusing on the results and preparing for common objections. Effective communication is about articulating authentic value and being ready for the concerns that inevitably arise.

This episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast features hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discussing the mechanics of energy management. Moving beyond basic nutrition and exercise, they dive into a three-step blueprint designed to help high achievers reclaim their focus, optimize their daily schedule, and end the day with intention. The High-Performance Energy Blueprint Step 1: Execute the "Power 30" Deep Work Block The "Power 30" is about quality over quantity. Instead of staring at a screen for hours, dedicate a focused window to the task that truly moves the needle. Identify the "Needle-Mover": Pick your most important project (e.g., writing that book or planning a business shift). Complete Isolation: Turn off all notifications and put your phone away. Avoid being "reactive" to emails. The 30-Minute Rule: While some prefer 60 or 90 minutes, a 30-minute block allows for a quick physical reset (stretching or walking) before diving back in. Step 2: Conduct a 48-Hour Energy Audit Energy is finite; you need to know where yours is going. Mark and Theron suggest tracking your activities for two days to identify your "Energy Vampires." The +/- System: Mark tasks with a plus (+) if they energize you or a minus (-) if they drain you. Delete, Delegate, or Empower: If a task drains you, ask if it can be deleted. If not, delegate it. Pro Tip: Shift your mindset from "delegation" to "empowerment." Find someone who actually enjoys the tasks you dislike (like the "pizza crust vs. cheese" analogy) to help them grow while freeing up your time. Strategic Optimization: Schedule your hardest, most creative tasks during your peak energy windows (e.g., mornings for Mark) and save "busy work" for your low-energy slumps. Step 3: Implement a "Digital Sunset" How you end your day determines how you start the next one. Set a Hard Stop: Establish a firm time (e.g., 10:00 PM) where all work-related communication ends. No more "late-night heroics" on email. The One-Hour Reset: Use the final hour before bed for "analog" activities; reading a physical book, journaling, or practicing gratitude. Avoid the "scrolling trap." The Pre-Game Download: Write down your #1 objective for tomorrow before you go to sleep. This closes the "open loops" in your brain, allowing for better rest and a faster start the next morning. Key Takeaway You don't need elite genetics to be successful; you need above-average habits. By managing your mechanics, not just your clock, you can create consistent energy to achieve life-shifting results.

In a world where gut instinct once ruled the day—from football coaches making pivotal fourth-down decisions to investors choosing their next stock pick—a revolution has reshaped the landscape: reliable data and analytics. Drawing inspiration from the principles behind the film Moneyball and a recent article by David Booth on 3 Lessons from Investing's Moneyball Moment in Fortune magazine, I break down what a century of US stock market history reveals for everyday investors. Lesson 1. Insiders Aren't Smarter Than Outsiders One of the key insights unearthed from this century's worth of data is simple but profound: experts, or “insiders,” don't consistently outperform the market. Early research using the University of Chicago's Center for Research on Security Prices (CRSP) data found that, on average, mutual funds and clever stock pickers failed to beat the simple strategy of buying and holding a diversified market portfolio.  This led to the explosion of index funds, notably pioneered by Vanguard and enabled by firms like Dimensional. Now, anyone, not just Wall Street professionals, can own broad, low-cost portfolios and harness the long-term growth of the entire market rather than trying (and in most cases, failing) to outsmart it. Lesson 2. Bet on Human Ingenuity Human creativity and progress power the market's reliable returns over the decades. Companies go public to raise money, which they funnel into improving their products and expanding their reach. Every day, millions of people at thousands of companies are seeking better ways to serve their customers and grow profits. When you invest in the stock market, you're ultimately betting on people's ability to innovate and adapt to a changing world. This century-long experiment in collective growth has consistently delivered average returns of around 10% per year, a number that's survived wars, recessions, inflation spikes, and bubbles. Lesson 3. Investor Behavior Is Key If reams of data tell us anything, it's this: reliable, long-term returns belong to disciplined investors. The journey is never smooth—market downturns feel chaotic and alarming in the moment. Yet, $1,000 invested in 1926 would have grown to over $17 million by 2025, despite wars, crashes, and global crises. Most investors who stuck with the market over any 10- or 20-year span came out ahead. Stay disciplined, trust the data, and know that while the challenges may look different, the power of long-term, patient investing is timeless.

This week, I have with me renowned customer experience expert, David Avrin, for a discussion on why being "ridiculously easy to do business with" is now the ultimate sales advantage. David shares insights into how rigid processes and a lack of flexibility often frustrate customers—and how organizations can turn ease and responsiveness into their biggest differentiators.  Tune in as we discuss common friction points, explore practical steps for boosting customer satisfaction, and discover the top dos and don'ts every sales team should follow to future-proof their success in today's fiercely competitive market. Outline of This Episode [05:06] Ease over persuasion in sales [07:35] Rejecting rigid sales tactics [12:54] Sales promises vs. delivery [14:56] Speed up, simplify, say yes [19:30] Insights from a solo speaker [21:12] Speed wins, so respond faster Why Are We Still Making It Hard? David calls out a fundamental problem in today's sales organizations: an over-reliance on rigid processes. It's not that businesses don't understand their customers—it's that the urge for predictability and control often leads to inflexible sales journeys. The problem is that sellers tend to be a little more regimented in adhering to the process. Customers, on the other hand, haven't read your employee manual; they simply want to do things their own way, and their preferred path is often different with each interaction. The result is frustrated buyers who encounter unnecessary roadblocks, from complex checkout procedures to chatbot dead-ends and telephone mazes. Convenience, speed, and options matter more than ever. Why Ease Is Today's Greatest Differentiator You might believe that your superior quality, price, or expertise is what sets you apart. But these have become "table stakes"—the minimum required to play in today's market. Customers now assume quality; what they evaluate is the experience. The differentiator is the process…who can get it to me faster, who's got better service, who's easier to work with. With instant access to reviews and competing options, a difficult buying experience can quickly push customers away—even if your product edges out the competition on paper. Being easy to buy from is no longer a "nice to have"—it's essential for growth. Common Friction Points (and How to Fix Them) What are the most frequent sources of customer frustration? Often, they're the result of well-meaning internal processes: Long-winded sales cycles Mandatory steps that don't fit the buyer's needs Lack of options to skip or expedite parts of the journey Poor post-sale support or rigid "policy" barriers Absence of real human contact—hiding behind contact forms or chatbots To fix these, David recommends a simple but powerful exercise: walk your own customer journey. Try buying from yourself as a customer and see where the pain points are. Then empower staff with flexibility: say yes more often; if a customer has a reasonable request, find a way to accommodate it. Reduce unnecessary steps and rethink policies that exist "because they always have." The Secret Sauce of Responsiveness One of the most actionable tips from the interview centers on speed. Customers have access to so many other options that are quick and easy. David demonstrates this principle in his own business. By making himself ultra-accessible—listing cell numbers, emails, and responding within minutes—he consistently outperforms competitors. Research shows that responding within five minutes gives you a 100 times better chance of landing a client.  Becoming ridiculously easy to do business with isn't about sacrificing quality or giving up control—it's about meeting customers where they are and adapting your processes to fit their needs.    Connect with David Avrin David Avrin on LinkedIn  David Avrin on X  Connect With Paul Watts  LinkedIn Twitter  Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show Notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com

The Essentials of MHT and Menopause  Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat88 Target AudienceThis activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers. Statement of Need Research indicates that MHT is the most effective therapy for symptoms of menopause (vasomotor symptoms & genitourinary syndrome) but its use is low and inconsistent. Physicians may be unaware of the latest research regarding the safety and application of MHT and therefore prescribing patterns are inconsistent for treatment of menopausal symptoms.  This podcast will discuss the essentials of MHT (formerly referenced as HRT) for the treatment of menopause. This program will address the latest treatment guidelines and research updates as information continues to evolve. Objectives Describe the current evidence supporting menopause hormone therapy (MHT), including risks and benefits, and the implications of the recently updated FDA safety communications. Outline evidence-based strategies to individualize MHT treatment for patients as well as determination criteria for when to initiate or discontinue treatment. Moderator Kris E.

This is a link post. Forum note: this post embodies the spirit of a new project I—Matt Reardon—am starting to reinvigorate in-person EA communities. I'm hiring a co-founder and I'm interested in meeting others who want to collaborate on this vision. My DMs are open. Sequence thinkers will be forgiven and rejoice In some fleeting moments lately, I catch glimpses of 2022—the year Effective Altruism's ascent seemed unstoppable. Universally positive (if limited) press, big groups at top universities across the world, a young EA entrepreneur was the darling of the financial industry, the first EA running for Congress calling in enormous financial and personnel resources for his campaign. More than those public-facing facts though, was a feeling on the ground that if you had a good grip on things and a plausible idea, you would get funding, go to the Bay, and make it happen. I actually regret how slow I was to see it at the time. You could just do things, and yes, that's always been true, but at that time, you didn't even have excuses. In my first year as an advisor at 80,000 Hours, I allowed people a lot of excuses.

In this episode of the Getting Smart Podcast, Victoria Andrews sits down with Eric Wearne of Kennesaw State University and the National Hybrid Schools Project to explore what research is revealing about hybrid models (often 2–3 days on campus and 2–3 days at home), including facilities and regulatory challenges, who teaches in these settings, and why learner-centered culture matters. They also dig into trust, access, and equity—highlighting creative solutions like support-day staffing and community partnerships—plus how expanded options could reduce conflict and better match learners to environments where they can thrive.

Pressure is an undeniable reality for anyone in sales. High-stakes meetings, critical pitches, and tough negotiations are daily occurrences. While some thrive, others falter.    This week, I'm joined by communication expert, keynote speaker, and bestselling author Dominic Colenso for a conversation on how to excel in high-pressure sales situations. Drawing from his experience as a professional actor and performance coach, Dominic shares why communication often breaks down under pressure, shares practical strategies for staying calm and present, and explains how salespeople can turn pressure into a tool for greater impact.   Outline of This Episode   [0:00] Presence enhances performance [04:11] Learning about being in the moment from Bill Nighy [06:49] Staying grounded using breath and posture [12:32] Engagement tips for virtual Meetings [15:36] Maintaining confidence in presentations [17:50] Authenticity in leadership communication Where Communication Breaks Down   According to Dominic Colenso, one of a salesperson's biggest barriers to great communication under pressure is the tendency to focus too much on themselves—overloading the conversation with product features and personal knowledge. Instead, successful communicators make it about the audience. Failing to address the listener's needs, challenges, and expectations leads to disengagement, especially when seconds count.   How Pressure Affects Performance   Pressure can enhance or distort our performance. The key is being in the moment. Drawing from his acting career, Dominic stresses the importance of grounding yourself and resisting distractions. Real presence enables adaptability and focus, even as adrenaline surges and the stakes rise.   He shares his experience of learning from actor Bill Nighy, who demonstrated how energy could be switched from relaxation to intense focus. It's not the showmanship that matters, but laser-sharp concentration—this is what makes a real difference in critical moments.   What Top Performers Do Differently   When under pressure, top salespeople slow down rather than speed up. The biological urge to accelerate, driven by adrenaline, can cause premature responses and missed cues. But elite performers take their time and resist the temptation to rush. Pausing and breathing provides time to think clearly and gives clients a sense of being truly heard. Control and composure transform stressful encounters into meaningful dialogue.   Creating Calm Without Overcontrol   Confidence is often mistaken for control. Dominic advises focusing not only on what you say but also on how your body feels and behaves under stress. Simple physical grounding—placing both feet evenly on the floor, steadying your breath, avoiding fidgeting—can decrease stress hormones and boost confidence. This physiological reset helps you think more clearly and remain authentically present, even in tough meetings.   Preparation is essential: pattern these habits before walking into high-stakes rooms by practicing in everyday scenarios. Muscle memory built in casual contexts will kick in when it matters most.   The Power of Simplicity   For sales professionals preparing for a big meeting, Dominic recommends one immediate tactic: simplify your message. Think about your audience and distill your communication into a headline. Support this headline with just three core ideas. When conversation feels streamlined and relevant, clients are more likely to lean in than tune out. Overwhelming clients with information risks confusion; clarity inspires engagement.   Virtual Selling Brings New Pressures   Virtual meetings bring different challenges, such as reduced engagement and fewer non-verbal cues. Dominic encourages adopting a "Netflix box set" approach by breaking lengthy pitches into shorter, interactive sessions. Every virtual meeting should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, with regular opportunities for dialogue. Ask questions frequently to keep clients involved and gauge comprehension.   Whether delivering a scripted pitch or responding on the fly, authenticity wins. Rehearse aloud, adapt the message to your style, and add personal touches. The more you show up as yourself, the more your audience connects and responds.

We throw the notes out the window and just hit record the second Rhonda walks in the door — because we were in two different states all weekend and somehow didn't actually talk about any of it until now. Rhonda breaks down her girls' trip to Athens, Georgia for a Bailey Zimmerman concert, complete with rainy plans, Parents' Weekend crowds, questionable hotel choices, and an Uber ride that felt like the opening scene of a horror movie (but, spoiler, everyone survives). Meanwhile, Jeremy's weekend turns into a full-on Disney-to-DC sprint: Hollywood Studios and EPCOT festival bites, a detour to Disney Springs with friends, a peek at a two-person DVC tower studio at Riviera with a killer Spaceship Earth view, and a stop at Cake Bake Shop that ends with banana pudding magic. And then… it's off property chaos time. Think: smoky lobby, system outage, no key card, a toilet that won't flush, and a very real “time is money” reminder that ties right back into our on-property vs off-property debate from last episode. It's funny, it's honest, it's chaotic in the best way — and it's basically you sitting at the kitchen table with us.
