It's Monday, December 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Why are Christians in Nigeria Facing Such Violent Attacks? President Donald Trump recently brought the topic of Christian persecution up noting that Nigeria was quote a ‘Country of Particular Concern' for violating religious freedom.  This has led to questions over why so many Nigerian Christian communities have faced violent attacks and why the President of the United States would require attention to this issue. Persecution.org examined this question and has found that according to most western media outlets Climate Change is often used to portray the violent attacks over natural resources instead of religious motivation. For example, in 2023 a massacre occurred on Christmas Eve.  Over 140 people were killed in Nigeria Plateau state.  Vatican News ran an article that said, quote ‘the long-running conflict between nomadic herders and farmers'. Right after a massacre in June of this year in which 200 Christians in Nigeria's Benue state were killed.  The BBC ran an article on violence in central Nigeria that said quote ‘It is safe to assume that there are lots of victims on both sides, as any attack usually leads to revenge and then a cycle of violence' Why is that safe to assume? Justice G Danjuma, an evangelist for the Remnant Christian Network in Nigeria's Taraba State, does agree that disputes over resources play a role, just not nearly as big a role as many Media outlets would have you believe. Danjuma says quote ‘Overwhelmingly the attacks are driven by religious animosity.'  He also encouraged people to quote ‘Reject the climate change narrative pushed by Western Media' He and added that it is quote, ‘It is deeply offensive and misleading.  Why would climate change cause people to burn churches, kill pastors and massacre worshippers during Christmas or Palm Sunday services.' Nigeria is currently number 7 on the Open Doors World Watch List for countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution. Pray for the believers in Nigeria with the words of Psalm 35:1-3: "Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me!  Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help!  Draw spear and javelin against my pursuers!  Say to my soul, I am your salvation!" ADF Releases Report of Christian Victories in the Supreme Court The Alliance Defending Freedom or ADF released a report listing the victories of 2025 so far this year!  Among the victories in the US Supreme Court they reported were; A decision in June that pro-life states like South Carolina can now direct Medicaid funds away from abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood. And a landmark victory for children's health and science based medicine.  The Court upheld Tennessee law protecting minors from harmful and life-altering gender transition drugs and surgeries. A link to a full list of cases won and still awaiting decisions is in a link in our transcript. Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act Introduced Lifenews.com reports that US Senator John Cornyn from Texas along with Senator James Lankford from Oklahoma and a group of their Senate GOP colleagues, introduced the Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act, which would ensure medical students and residents are never pressured or coerced into abortion training that violates their moral or religious beliefs and established clear federal protections so residents are not forced to choose between their conscience and their careers. Senator Cornyn said quote, ‘The first rule of medicine is to do no harm, yet for many aspiring doctors, coerced abortion training not only contradicts that oath but also violates their moral and religious beliefs. By allowing medical residents to opt-in rather than opt-out of abortion training, this legislation would protect healthcare professionals convictions and give them the freedom to practice medicine without fear of retaliation.' Findings from Abortion Mill Undercover Investigation Released RightNow a not-for-profit organization committed to nominating and electing pro-life candidates along with educating and engaging pro-life Canadians on the political process, recently released the findings of an undercover investigation in which they went into abortion clinics across Canada to find out if it was possible to get a late-term abortion based solely on personal choice.  Alissa Golob, Co-Founder and Executive Director of RightNow says quote, ‘Canadians are often told that late-term abortions never happen in Canada and if they do, they are for extreme medical reasons.  Yet, I was told numerous times that attaining a late-term abortion in Canada is relatively easy, legal and that I did not need a reason, medical or otherwise, regarding myself or my pregnancy.' Other things exposed in this investigation were things like an abortion clinic counsellor defining late-term abortion in Canada as stillbirth, which calls into question the validity of current statistics around late-term abortions in Canada. And that taxpayer money in Canada has been used to fund travel and accommodations of Canadian women who are being sent to for-profit abortion clinics.   You can watch the YouTube video report in a link on our transcript at TheWorldview.com Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday December 1st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Three out of every four people seeking work feel that AI could be unfairly screening out their applications, according to a new survey. And a majority feel automation is making some aspects of the recruitment process impersonal and dismissive. This lack of human interaction, according to the inaugural Collins McNicholas Workforce Insights Report, is making professionals less interested in working for particular companies. Overwhelmingly, the one piece of advice professionals would give to companies is to "keep a human touch" in the recruitment process. Of the more than 2,500 respondents to the Collins McNicholas Workforce Insights Report, some 75% agreed or strongly agreed that AI could be unfairly screening out their applications. Only five per cent strongly disagreed. Almost three out of four (74%) felt automated rejection emails were impersonal and dismissive, with only six per cent strongly disagreeing. The survey was carried out by Collins McNicholas Recruitment & HR Services Group over a two-week period (from October 7th to October 21st) among professionals on the company's database. A total of 2,541 responses were received from professionals working across a range of sectors and age profiles. Collins McNicholas is an award-winning Irish company that sources talent and provides hiring solutions across a wide variety of sectors for its client companies. Other automation-related findings included: A total of 69% felt that a lack of human interaction made them less interested in working for a company. More than half (54%) said the one piece of advice they would give employers if using AI in recruitment was to 'keep a human touch in the process'. This was followed by urging employers to only use automation at certain stages (16%) and to improve communication and feedback (14%) Almost half (46%) disagreed that automated messages made the recruitment process more efficient Collins McNicholas' Director Michelle Murphy said: "The findings of our inaugural Workforce Insights Report are extremely interesting and show that employers face a huge challenge in balancing the use of AI and automation to speed up their recruitment process while ensuring that the applicants feel like they are being treated equally and receiving that human touch that they are clearly saying they want. Employers - and recruitment companies - are under increasing pressure to keep up to date with advances in AI but this report is a warning shot that we need to be careful about how we are implementing AI and where we are inserting that into the process. "Collins McNicholas carried out this survey to capture the perspectives and priorities of professionals actively seeking new career opportunities in Ireland. All responses were collected anonymously to enable a comprehensive analysis of the trends shaping the Irish employment landscape in 2025. We plan to carry out an annual report in order to gain further insights to help employers gain real-time insights into the concerns and priorities of professionals." The survey also asked those who have been seeking work during 2025 about other issues. Here are some of those key findings: Career progression (27%) and company culture (24%) are the main non-monetary priorities for those seeking new career opportunities right now. Professionals put these items ahead of remote/work from home options (23%) and flexible working hours (19%). A majority of companies have not changed their hybrid or remote work policy in 2025. Despite much talk in the media about the increased move back to the office, some 59% said that their company had not changed their policy so far this year, with 16% saying they had. The remaining surveyed are not currently with a company full-time. Of those who made a change this year, the majority are now working in the office three days a week. Professionals also do not believe that working remotely or on a hybrid model negatively affects opportunities for career advancement. A total of 51% either stro...

State Senator Greg Goode claims he is undecided on redistricting in Indiana. So he held a townhall in Terre Haute to hear from his constituents. Overwhelmingly, they came out against the idea. In fact, not one person spoke in favor. The event was a disaster for Republicans who claimed polls showing Hoosiers do not want redistricting were wrong. Will Goode's townhall be a red flag to other senators on the fence? Rob Kendall and Abdul-Hakim Shabazz discuss on Statehouse Happenings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A headline on a recent news article caught my eye, for it declared, “Americans Disagree on Everything.”I said to myself: “I disagree with that!”Indeed, the untold story of today's America is the good news that We the People fundamentally agree on more than what supposedly separates us. It is true that our daily media feed does relentlessly push political negativity and discord, and it's true that hyper-partisan politicians grab attention by hammering their narrow views into swords of hatred. But that's them, not the greater us.Even hot-button issues which dominate the Internet and talk-shows are actually not all that divisive for the majority of us. For example, nearly 90 percent of Americans (including two-thirds of Republicans) oppose the right-wing attempt to whitewash our nation's history by restricting teachers, museums etc. from addressing such realities as slavery.More significantly, consider the real needs of ordinary workaday families. Basics like living wages, protecting Social Security, busting-up monopolies, cleaning up pollution, providing affordable housing, funding our parks and libraries, stopping price gouging. Overwhelmingly, Americans in red, blue, and purple areas agree on what government ought to be doing – and disagrees with what it is doing. But the plutocratic moneyed elites that now fund and perpetuate Americas corrupt and dysfunctional government profit by promoting hatreds to pit us against each other, praying that all of us don't focus on them.Don't succumb to their self-serving lies, but seek ways to unite in what we Americans do agree on – specifically our historic commitment to the democratic values of economic fairness, social justice, and equal treatment for all.

Welcome back to another episode of the EUVC Podcast, where we gather Europe's venture family to share the stories, insights, and lessons that drive our ecosystem forward. Today's conversation takes us on a global journey from Croatia to San Francisco to uncover how one founder caught lightning in a bottle and is now racing to harness it.Our guest: Ivan Burazin, founder of Daytona. With a career spanning Toronto, Croatia, Infobip, Shift Conference, and now Daytona, Ivan brings a rare, global perspective on how Europe can lead in DevTools and AI infrastructure. Alongside him, our dear friend Enis Hulli from E2VC joins to spotlight Daytona's story, the lessons from its dramatic pivot, and what it means for founders and investors navigating this new AI wave.Ivan has spent two decades at the intersection of infrastructure and developer communities. From racking servers in the early 2000s to launching one of the first browser-based IDEs in 2009 to scaling the Shift Conference to thousands of attendees, his career has consistently circled around enabling developers.Daytona's first act was a cloud IDE provider for enterprises — “one-click setup for secure developer environments.” With Fortune 500 customers onboard, revenue flowing, and a healthy pipeline, Daytona 1.0 showed promise. But something was missing.Six months ago, Ivan and his team made a bold decision to pivot. Daytona 2.0 is no longer about provisioning dev environments for humans — it's about powering AI agents with the computers they need.“Agents are not computers themselves. They need access to computers to run browsers, clone repos, analyze data. Daytona gives them that — an isolated sandbox with machine-native interfaces built for agents.” – IvanThe differences between human and agent runtimes turned out to be massive:Humans tolerate 30 seconds of spin-up; agents need milliseconds.Humans solve problems sequentially; agents branch into parallel “multiverse” solutions.Humans parse terminal output; agents require clean APIs.By recognizing this, Daytona carved out a new category: the computer for agents.The pivot coincided with a deliberate move to San Francisco. Ivan recalls how Figma embedded with designers at Airbnb, or how Twilio found adoption among early Valley startups. To own mindshare in a new category, location mattered.“From San Francisco outwards, adoption flows naturally. From Europe inwards, it's like pushing uphill.” – IvanSo Daytona went all-in: presence at AI meetups, team members flying in and out, and early product evangelism on the ground.HAfter the pivot, Daytona saw extraordinary pull from the market:Customer conversations ended with “send me the API key”.Infrastructure demand showed power-law dynamics: just a handful of fast-growing customers could drive scale.Instead of polished decks, Ivan shared raw revenue dashboards with authenticity.The momentum was immediate and tangible.Ivan admits he hadn't explicitly asked permission to pivot. He hinted at it in updates, tested the idea with a hackathon, and only later informed his cap table. The response? Overwhelmingly positive.“Almost half the angels replied. Go f***ing go. Let's go. I should've told them sooner.” – IvanEnis highlights this as a key distinction: experienced angels with broad portfolios encourage bold swings, while less diversified angels may fear the risk.Catching lightning is one thing. Harnessing it is another. Ivan's current focus:Hiring deliberately: keeping the team small and ownership-driven.White-glove onboarding: every serious customer gets a Slack channel with the whole team.Balancing speed and reliability: ship daily, but solve today's scale problems without over-engineering.Enis introduces a new term: seed-strapping — raising a seed, skipping A and B, and scaling straight to unicorn status.Ivan is cautious. Infra is capital-intensive, and while Daytona could raise a Series A today, he's committed to doing it on his terms.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they note Americans overwhelmingly see a crime problem in the U.S. and a majority likes how Trump is dealing with it. They also wince as Trump welcomes 600,000 Chinese college students into the U.S., and roll their eyes at the left's absurd "land acknowledgements."First, they're glad to see that 81 percent of Americans have the common sense to see that crime is a major problem. That includes 68 percent of Democrats. In addition, 53 percent of Americans approve of how President Trump is dealing with crime. This makes the Democrats' assertions that there really isn't a crime problem in our major cities look utterly ridiculous.Next, they cringe as President Trump says he is perfectly fine allowing 600,000 Chinese students study at American colleges and universities this year. Jim and Greg fume about the American students who suffer a result, and they point out what the Chinese government expects from their students when returning from the U.S.Finally, they shake their heads as the DNC national meeting kicked off with a "land acknowledgement," where someone explains which tribal nation had the land before European settlers allegedly took it from them. It's shameless virtue signaling, but is it backfiring for Democrats and could this practice ever have much more serious implications?Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visithttps://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order.Feel the difference of an extraordinary night's sleep with Boll & Branch—get 15% off plus free shipping on your first set of sheets at https://www.BollandBranch.com/THREEMARTINI (exclusions apply).

D.C. says no to Trump: Residents 'overwhelmingly oppose' police takeover, poll shows

This episode explores the profound mindset shift from "forcing" life to happen to "allowing" it to unfold naturally. Randy introduces the word "allow," inspired by the work of Bob Proctor on avoiding "dis-ease," and discusses the stress, anxiety, and burnout that comes from trying to control every outcome. Randy and Greg share personal stories—from forcing relationships to feeling trapped in unfulfilling jobs—to illustrate the power of letting go. They dive into the concepts of being "in flow," making decisions without the pressure of "right" or "wrong," and how relaxing your grip can paradoxically lead to better ideas and more aligned opportunities. This conversation is a guide to trading the exhausting hustle for a state of calm, ease, and intentional action. Key Takeaways: The feeling of constantly "forcing" things in life can lead to stress, anxiety, and a state of "dis-ease." Shifting your mindset to one of "allowing" involves trusting that things will work out, even if you're not in direct control. Being "in flow" is a state of calm and ease, which often leads to more creative solutions and better outcomes than forcing a result. You can't force inspiration; often, the best ideas come when you relax and allow them to surface. Decisions don't have to be "right" or "wrong." Viewing them as just a choice, and then allowing the next step to reveal itself, removes immense pressure. Your past is a series of decisions that led you to today; you can learn from it, but you don't have to be defined by it. It's not about being 100% "allowing" or 100% "forcing." Life is a fluid blend, and the key is recognizing where you're meeting unnecessary resistance. Questions Answered in This Episode: What does it mean to "allow" life to happen instead of "forcing" it? How can the constant need to force and control outcomes lead to burnout and "dis-ease"? How do you know if you are in a state of "flow"? Why do our best ideas often come to us when we stop trying so hard? How can you make big decisions without the paralyzing fear of making the "wrong" choice? How does forcing a timeline on life (e.g., for marriage, career) create unnecessary stress? What's the difference between taking intentional action and desperately forcing an outcome? How can you apply the concept of "allowing" to your daily life to reduce stress? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Bob Proctor, David Neagle. Concepts: Allowing vs. Forcing, Flow State, Dis-ease (not at ease), Control, Resistance, Acceptance, Decision Making, Hustle Culture.

In March, the volunteer moderators of the Change My View subreddit learned that researchers at the University of Zurich had been covertly conducting an experiment on their community members. By injecting AI-generated comments and posts into conversations, the researchers had wanted to measure the persuasiveness of AI. There was one big problem: They didn't tell community members that they were being experimented on. They didn't tell the community moderators. They didn't tell Reddit's corporate team. Only when they were getting ready to publish, did they disclose their actions. It then became clear that beyond the lack of consent, they had engaged in other questionable behavior: Their AI-written contributions had spanned multiple accounts, pretending to be a rape victim, a trauma counselor focusing on abuse, a Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter, and more. Community response was swift: Overwhelmingly, members were unhappy. The moderators insisted the research not be published. Reddit threatened legal action. Initially, the researchers were defiant but eventually, they apologized and pledged not to publish the research. Change My View volunteer moderator Logan MacGregor joins the show to discuss what went on behind the scenes, plus: The danger of publishing the research Reaction to the apology How AI is going to challenge the idea of trusting an online community Big Quotes Blame the manipulators, not the members and moderators (1:49): “Manipulation in online communities has existed forever. What's happening with [AI is] the believability, the speed at which people can do it. … The fault always rests with the person who chooses to manipulate the community. It's easy to fool people … and to do something that undermines the trust of something. It's harder to build trust.” -Patrick O'Keefe Why a promise not to publish was important (13:21): “From my perspective, I think the things that we wanted the most [from the researchers were] an apology and a promise not to publish. The second was really important because we were concerned that if this was published in a peer-review journal … if it was elevated to a prominent journal, that our community, which is supposed to be a protected human space, would now become just another sandbox for researchers. We felt very strongly that it should not be published. … Unfortunately, it didn't land well.” -Logan MacGregor When a community leader stands for their community, they often stand for all communities (14:52): “When one community person – a volunteer, a host, a person in this line of work – stands up for their community, they stand up for all communities.” -Patrick O'Keefe Just because bad comments exist online doesn't mean new ones won't cause harm (20:10): “So much of what [the researchers] did to try to prevent harm was to say ‘comments like this happen all the time online, we don't think that it's going to cause individual trauma.' We kind of dispute that because some of the comments are [you] pretending to be a trauma counselor and maybe that could actually cause some harm. … I don't think they thought enough about community impact until after the community screamed ‘ouch.'” -Logan MacGregor You can't just blame AI for this (22:52): “One thing that's really special about Change My View is that it's a human space; it's a decidedly human space. … The University of Zurich is a decidedly human space. What I think is so insidious about AI is it's caused people to behave in ways that I don't know we would have, without the stupid thinking machines. Because it's a toxic influence. Unlike the bots that are invading us daily, that we're constantly shutting down. … “That hurts a little bit more than just dealing with bots, because this wasn't just bots. These are people interacting with other people, and there was a human element there. The researchers are real people. I'm a real person. This happened between real people, and it wasn't just AI.” -Logan MacGregor How did the community respond when the experiment was disclosed? (24:47): “I would say there was this collective outrage [from the community]. … It was a unique and singular violation of the ethos of the sub, and it was especially palpable because there are a lot of researchers and research-affiliated people that are fond of the sub. It seemed like: We protect national parks, and we have national monuments – these protected spaces – and it almost felt on that level. Of all the places to do this, why Change My View?” -Logan MacGregor Researchers can help online communities in this moment, but not if they can't be trusted (34:13): “One of the things that I worry about when it comes to AI is it's probably going to chip away … at this idea of having protected online spaces, because if in-person conversations are the only way that you can validate that you're not talking to a robot, then this thing that we created called the internet, it's going to cease to have value at all. “That's the fear, and I have hope that we're going to be able to figure out a way to get past that challenge, but I'm scratching my head as to how we would do that. The true tragedy in this whole piece is that the very people that I think are best equipped to help us navigate that space are now distrusted because of this experiment. We need to heal that, and I don't know how that's going to happen.” -Logan MacGregor About Logan MacGregor Logan MacGregor is a member of the volunteer mod team on r/changemyview.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Is churn currently a problem with your agency clients? Are you aware of the reasons they decide to leave? It may be time to think hard about your onboarding process, client communication, and generally the ways you're ensuring client satisfaction. The difference often comes down to positioning: are you operating as a trusted advisor or simply completing tasks?

As our Agency Scale Specialist, Darby Copenhaver, has closely observed the growth trajectories of numerous mastermind members and constantly communicates with them in their journeys. In this conversation, he and Jason get into the importance of strong communication and transparent onboarding processes to combat buyer's remorse and build trust. They also address the strategic use of AI to enhance efficiency and results, stressing that while AI can automate tasks, human connection and understanding clients' evolving needs remain paramount for long-term partnerships.

Why Your Clients Might Not Love You (Even if You're Getting Results) Ever feel like you're crushing it for clients, but then they ghost you or churn unexpectedly? There are several reasons why this could be happening and ways to stop it before it kills your momentum. Here's the truth: buyers remorse sets in immediately after a client signs. It's your job to kill that remorse with rock-solid communication and a frictionless onboarding experience. Most agencies think they're good communicators because they answer emails. But clients want more than tasks checked off. They want to feel seen, understood, and confident they made the right decision. If you're not proactively communicating wins (and misses), or if you let your PMs control the narrative without your oversight, you're setting yourself up for churn, no matter how “good” your delivery is. Your Onboarding Might Be Pushing Clients Away As Jason knows from recent experiences as a client, most agencies' onboarding is just an exhausting homework dump on clients who already told you their goals in the sales calls you recorded. Why are you making them repeat themselves, fill out giant forms, or wait for your scattered follow-ups? Your clients didn't hire you to do more work. They hired you to get results while saving them time. Break your onboarding into clear, easy phases, Reset expectations, Use the data you already have (like call transcripts and AI sorting) to fill in the blanks yourself. If you set clear timelines, communication rhythms, and how success will be measured in that first meeting, you'll position yourself as a trusted advisor, not another vendor barking for “assets” they've already shared. This is what makes clients relieved to work with you instead of stressed. Communication: Simple, But Rarely Done Right It's so important for any business to show that you're trustworthy, and you'll show that by doing what you say you'll do, when you say you'll do it. Too many agencies fail to communicate delays, let tasks slip, and think a monthly dashboard is enough. It's not. Dashboards alone mean nothing to most clients. Some need a quick Loom, some need Slack check-ins, others need a simple “Here's what we did, what's next, and why it matters.” Customizing your communication style shows your clients you're paying attention to them, not just copy-pasting your agency SOPs onto their business. This is how you become a trusted advisor, the person they call with challenges (not just tasks). That's how you become irreplaceable. So, which measures are you implementing at your agency to ensure - not just assume - that you know your clients are happy, not only with the results presented but also the overall experience? Want Clients to Stick Around? Be Human When was the last time you called a client you didn't personally sell or deliver on, just to check in and say, “Hey, I'm the CEO, here's my number if you need anything”? Most agencies never do this, but it's one of the simplest ways to build relationships that survive budget cuts and economic slowdowns. If clients only see you as a transaction, you're the first thing to get cut. If they see you as a partner, they'll fight to keep you. Want to take it further? Fly out and have dinner with your top clients once a year. Exchange stories, show them you care, and watch how your retention and upsells climb. Stop Leaving Money on the Table by Ignoring Current Clients Agencies love to yell, “We need more leads!” But often, your easiest growth is sitting right in front of you. If your clients trust you, they'll come to you with new problems—many of which you can solve or connect them with someone who can. This positions you as a problem solver, not an order taker. Instances like this are a great opportunity to be strategic, guide them, and reinforce how much you value the relationship. Results are awesome, but that value is what will take from being transactional to being a value relationship they'll fight to keep in times of economic uncertainty. Why Ongoing Discovery Is Your Secret Retention Weapon If you're selling to clients you can't grow with, you're setting yourself up for frustration. Too many agencies say “yes” to clients who aren't ready, don't want help, or can't commit to scaling. It's like hiring a personal trainer while refusing to stop eating cake every night. They might pay you, but they won't get results—and they'll blame you when they don't. And what about after you've found the right clients? Darby believes too many agencies forget that discovery isn't just for the sales process. Every client interaction should be a sort of ongoing discovery. Agencies that retain and grow accounts are constantly in ongoing discovery mode. As you bring success to clients their needs will evolve, their businesses shift, and what worked four months ago might be irrelevant today. If you're not in tune with those shifts, your agency becomes stale, and you'll get replaced. A challenge for agency owners: How are you staying aware of what's changing in your clients' businesses? Are you proactively checking in, asking about priorities, and aligning your services to what's happening right now? Or are you stuck on autopilot, delivering what they hired you for while missing what they actually need today? Stay curious, stay in discovery, and you'll stay essential. Communication Clarity: 411 vs. 911 To prevent the typical disconnect when clients are unsure of who to reach out to and for what, Darby and Jason recommend this simple but powerful tactic brought by Agency Mastery member, Travis. He tells clients exactly who to reach out to for “411” (info & updates) vs. “911” (emergencies). This eliminates confusion, speeds up communication, and prevents small issues from turning into big frustrations. And when you mess up—and you will—own it fast. Clients don't want spin or silence. They want the truth — fast. One agency Jason used messed up an ad so badly it was embarrassing, and instead of calling to own it, they hid behind Slack messages. Don't be that agency. Mistakes happen. What matters is how quickly and humanly you fix them. Be Human. Clients Crave It. At the heart of retention and growth is human connection. If your agency relationships feel like sterile transactions, you're replaceable. Clients want to feel seen and understood. If everything you share sounds like sugarcoated wins while their results lag, they'll start doubting you. Long-term, high-value clients come from humanizing your interactions—having real conversations, admitting mistakes, sharing wins, and being upfront about challenges. Clients don't want perfect robots; they want partners they trust. Don't Fear AI - Use It to Win Do clients want their agencies to use AI? Overwhelmingly, yes. They just don't what you to use it just to write articles and create crappy images, brands want their agencies using AI to get better results. According to a survey conducted by Audience Audit, 77% of brands are more likely to hire an agency seen as an AI expert, yet only 32% think their current agency is. This is a massive opportunity. But here's the key: don't use AI as a crutch to replace human strategy. Use it to collect, analyze, and interpret data faster so you can bring clients valuable insights and make micro-adjustments that drive real results. Clients want done-for-you solutions that leverage AI under the hood while preserving a human relationship on the front end. Just remember that clients don't care about your systems, your dashboards, or your internal processes if they don't lead to results. They want outcomes with as little friction as possible. AI can help you cut busywork, speed up insights, and refine strategy—but it's your human understanding and relationship that keeps clients paying, referring, and expanding their contracts.

Today on the show... Does the media go harder on political leaders on the right, therefore exposing their bias towards those on the left? Overwhelmingly, I'd say yes - and the mainstream media has just given us another reason not to trust them. It's the way they are interviewing Jacinda Ardern - who has suddenly made herself available from America because she wants to push her new book and get the sales up - but there is suddenly something in it for her so here she is...

As the New York Post reported this week, Americans overwhelmingly support renewing the Trump Tax Cuts.  https://nypost.com/2025/05/05/us-news/more-than-8-in-10-voters-support-keeping-trumps-2017-tax-cuts-poll/  The poll—conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for Americans for Prosperity had a sample of 1000 likely voters and loudly demonstrates that Americans have no appetite to raise taxes. A full 68% of respondents report that their taxes are already too high and 80% say now is a bad time for a tax hike. There is also broad cross-partisan support (84%) for keeping the current tax rates in place, with 95% of Republicans, 79% of independents, and 74% of Democrats in agreement.  Here's release with more info on the poll:  https://americansforprosperity.org/featured/fresh-polling-shows-americans-eager-to-renew-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act/  Kent Strang is the Managing Director of Americans for Prosperity.

Parts of the U.S. are an eco-disaster, a sacrifice zone. Take Newark, NJ. If you travel down a one-mile stretch of Doremus Avenue in Newark you pass a natural gas plant next to a sewage treatment facility next to an animal fat rendering plant next to a series of ominous-looking chemical storage containers behind acres of fencing. Airplanes pass overhead every two minutes, their engines rattling windows, while a putrid smell wafts from the open pools at the sewage treatment plant. Nationally, where are these polluters located? Overwhelmingly in poor communities of color like the Ironbound section of Newark where activists are organizing and fighting back to create a just, vibrant and sustainable community.

“Children being the targets of this deepfake technology is our worst nightmare” Haley and Dani discuss the current state of artificial intelligence and deepfake technology in the realm of sexual exploitation. Overwhelmingly, these tools are used for pornographic material, and 10% of teenagers have reported being aware of deepfake pornography depicting someone they know. They also dig into how this leads to desensitization towards sexualizing children and overwhelming law enforcement. -- Urge your representatives to pass the TAKE IT DOWN Act: https://advocacy.charityengine.net/Default.aspx?isid=2355 -- Urge Apple and Google to have better policies for A.I. apps:  https://endsexualexploitation.org/AI-Deepfake-Apps  Watch the video version of this episode here: https://youtu.be/uItdvTL3pIU 

#Bitcoin #Fiat #Money #inflation Joe Bryan - creator of the educational video "What's The Problem?"  @SatsVsFiat  - joins Keyvan Davani for a deep-dive conversation on the root-problem & root-solution of human civilization. Here's a summary of the conversation:* **Introduction of Joe Brian:** * Joe Brian created "What's the Problem," a video explaining Bitcoin's importance. * Background in physics, derivatives trading, entrepreneurship; now focused solely on Bitcoin.* **Fiat System and Awareness:** * Specialization in finance discourages broader understanding. * Austrian economics not formally taught; often actively contradicted. * Financial professionals either indoctrinated Keynesians or focused on specific products. * Limited understanding of monetary corruption within the financial system. * Difficult to motivate individuals to learn truths that undermine their jobs.* **Education and Austrian Economics:** * Austrian economics seen as obvious, its absence in education is "criminal." * Central banking era coincides with changes in education to prevent questioning. * Engineers/scientists make good economists due to systems thinking (cause & effect). * Economic systems must be built on human action to be effective.* **Central Banking Critique:** * Central banking seen as a ludicrous attempt to control the economy by corrupting money. * Instability created by those justifying their presence by solving it. * Education system propagandizes the unquestioned pillar of central banking.* **Storytelling and Bitcoin Adoption:** * Delivering information as a story aids memory and understanding. * Goal is to "plant the orange seed" to motivate deeper exploration of Bitcoin. * "What's the Problem" avoids specific details like central banking/fractional reserve to broaden appeal. * These details are for later unraveling as people delve deeper.* **Bitcoin's Properties:** * Bitcoin is the hardest money with ideal properties: decentralized, scarce, censorship-resistant.* **Reactions to "What's the Problem":** * Overwhelmingly positive reactions. * Reactions range from simple understanding to mind-blown realizations. * Pushback is minimal, usually from those entrenched in opposing viewpoints. * Video serves as a starting point, directing people to further resources.* **Deflation and Abundance:** * Deflation (falling prices, rising quality) is key to abundance. * Video illustrates this concept without explicitly using the term "deflation." * Free market/capitalism naturally leads to this abundance when left unhindered.* **Intervention and Consequences:** * Interference with free markets causes disturbances, inefficiencies, and problems. * This creates justification for further intervention, a cycle seen in central banking/socialism. * Socialism and communism are aberrations on the natural system, leading to guaranteed death of a system.* **Bitcoin as a Solution:** * Bitcoin is the first global free market, liberating people from tyranny and providing independence. * No technology provides a level of control in people's lives. * Criminal accountability for central bankers is non existent.Follow Joe on X: https://x.com/satmojoe & https://x.com/satsvsfiatWebsite: https://www.satsvsfiat.com/#heroPlease, share this highly educational conversation with your family & friends.Follow Keyvan Davani on X: https://x.com/keyvandavaniLike, share, follow, & subscribe to Davani on social media & YouTube.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson break down the latest ITR Foundation poll and what it reveals about Iowa voters' priorities. The results show that fiscal issues are more important than ever, with tax policy, government spending, and inflation dominating voter concerns. Surprisingly, issues like illegal immigration and abortion have dropped in importance, possibly reflecting confidence that Trump will address these issues in his second term.Chris and John analyze the overwhelming support for three major fiscal proposals: • A two-thirds majority requirement to raise taxes • Constitutional protection for Iowa's flat tax • A 2% hard cap on local government spending The hosts then shift to the new property tax bill introduced by Senator Dan Dawson and Representative Bobby Kaufmann. The bill includes a 2% cap on city and county spending, and replaces the current rollback system with a new homestead exemption. Chris and John explore how this could impact taxpayers, local governments, and Iowa's long-term fiscal health.Wrapping up, they emphasize that Iowans are demanding structural tax reforms—not just temporary fixes. The hosts praise Iowa's conservative leadership for listening to voters and pushing for meaningful, lasting change.

One thing that God has made abundantly clear in His Word is that He is different than the false gods of the nations because He can tell the end from the beginning. There are predictive prophecies that have come to pass and are still going to come to pass. So this episode is for you to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the God of the Bible is the one true God.
