Five scientists were escorted out of a diabetes conference by police for handing out a scientific paper — published in the host's own journal. By the time the American Diabetes Association finished explaining itself, its president and president-elect had resigned, and the editorial those five hoped 200 people might read had 76,000 views.Everyone is covering the removal. Molly is covering the two statements that came after it — the apology that blamed the people it was apologizing to, the peace-offering email that arrived days after an arrest threat, and the moment the ADA's response became a bigger story than the thing it was responding to.Chapters:0:00 — The PR Breakdown Live: New Format, One Deep-Dive Crisis1:43 — Why the American Diabetes Association Story Is Personal: Type 1 Diabetes and a Donor's Stake3:03 — The One-Sentence Version: ADA Removes Five of Its Own Scientists6:07 — ADA Scientific Sessions in New Orleans and the NIH Keynote Spark8:56 — Keynote Canceled for a Trump Meeting: Members Mobilize12:06 — Friday June 5: The Diabetes Care Editorial Handout12:57 — Police Remove the New Orleans Five: Why Optics Always Win14:25 — The Scott Pelley CBS Parallel: Making It About Policy and Procedure19:31 — The ADA's First Statement: Policy Defense and a Blaming Apology29:18 — Own It, Explain It, Promise It: The Indestructible PR Framework31:07 — The Badge Offer Backfires: An Olive Branch on Fire36:14 — Running the Crisis Playbook Backwards41:33 — Two Crisis Traps: Protecting the Institution and Playing the Victim43:45 — The Media Data: 24 to 86 Articles and 60% Negative Sentiment46:27 — The Resignations: ADA President and President-Elect Step Down50:41 — How the ADA Recovers: The Courageous Leadership Playbook

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, Jon sits down with Justin Roethlingshoefer, performance coach, and author of Holy Health, for a deeply inspiring conversation about the intersection of faith, science, and holistic well-being. Justin Roethlingshoefer shares his own journey from witnessing burnout and health struggles among leaders, to stepping away in search of true wholeness, and ultimately returning with a renewed vision that integrates faith, science, and self-stewardship. Together, they explore the meaning of "holy health"—living set apart by honoring your body, mind, and spirit as a unified temple, and creating rhythms and environments that foster lasting health. This episode delves into powerful themes: reclaiming health not through striving for perfection or isolated habits, but by embracing identity, stewardship, and rhythms rooted in both Scripture and science. Justin Roethlingshoefer speaks candidly about breaking free from the extremes of obsession and neglect, finding oneness and capacity to live out your calling, and why making small daily choices—around movement, nourishment, rest, and community—can transform every area of life. About Justin: Justin Roethlingshoefer is a human performance expert, data-driven health strategist, and longevity practitioner with over two decades of experience optimizing health and performance. His mission is simple yet profound: to empower, educate, and equip leaders to take ownership of their health so they can fully live out their God-given mission. As a former health and performance expert in the NCAA and NHL, Justin used biometric data and real-time analytics to enhance recovery, endurance, and longevity. But his own wake-up call came when he was told he wouldn't live past 35. Forced to reprioritize his own health, he embarked on a personal healing journey using the same methods he was using for his athletes—one that led to a powerful realization: the health crisis wasn't just an athlete issue; it was a human issue. The real problem? Healthcare was reactive, not proactive. The system focused on treating symptoms rather than asking the right question: "Why is this happening?" Determined to bring wisdom out of the dark and into the light, Justin made it his mission to spread a message of hope and healing that unlocked the truth about health and longevity—not just for the elite, but for everyone. This journey led him to create OWN IT, an elite health coaching ecosystem designed for leaders who refuse to accept mediocrity in any aspect of life. Through personalized data, a team of specialized experts, and a science-backed system, OWN IT has helped thousands heal and optimize their mind, body, and spirit—unlocking the unstoppable energy and healing they were built for. A sought-after speaker, consultant, USA Today bestselling author, and podcast host of the OWN IT show, Justin doesn't just teach high performers how to improve their health—he gives them the blueprint to win. His work is shifting the conversation from reactive healthcare to proactive health ownership, proving that longevity isn't just about adding years to your life, but adding life to your years. But beyond the data, science, and accolades, Justin is a husband, a man of faith, and a firm believer in this truth: Healing is coming to you. Thriving is waiting for you.

We're bringing the HEAT this week as it's our very first LIVE in-person, podcast recording inside IMPACT-X Performance… and trust me, this conversation is going to hit your heart, challenge your mindset, and ignite your spirit. My guest is my good friend Justin Roethlingshoefer, a former NHL strength & conditioning coach turned founder of the powerful new "Holy Health" movement. Justin shares a ton of his insight on "Holy Health" along with a lot of his experiences with his client, Grammy-winning worship artist Brandon Lake, as they are doing a ton together to change many lives. What unfolds in this episode is nothing short of transformational. We dive deep into faith, healing, identity, purpose, obedience, leadership, burnout, and what it really means to steward your mind, body, soul, and calling God's way. Justin opens up like never before about the darkest season of his life after losing his NHL career, the moment God radically shifted his perspective while sitting alone in a kayak during COVID, and how that "yes" to obedience ultimately led him to Brandon Lake and a sold-out arena tour impacting hundreds of thousands of lives. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, uncertain about your next step, or hungry for more purpose and peace in your life… this episode is for YOU. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why "the only thing that follows obedience is blessing" How Justin went from getting fired from the NHL to building the Holy Health movement The life-changing kayak moment that birthed the vision for Own It Why your identity cannot be tied to your performance What "Health Is Worship" truly means The exact rhythms and routines Brandon Lake used during his 50-show arena tour How anxiety, burnout, and striving steal your calling Why rest is NOT weakness — it's obedience The powerful lesson: "Don't force what you want now for what you actually want most" How Holy Health is helping thousands of people heal mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually Why leadership starts with culture and consistency The importance of surrendering EVERY area of your life to God — including your health How slowing down allows you to finally hear God speak What it means to create "health havens" in your environment and daily life The mindset shift that can radically change the way you lead, live, and love This conversation reminded me that impact doesn't come from having it all figured out… it comes from showing up, being obedient, serving people with all your heart, and trusting God with the outcome. Justin's story is proof that your greatest setback can become the setup for your greatest calling if you're willing to surrender, stay faithful, and keep going.

Every client you work with moves through a journey. The situations are always different, but the stages are remarkably consistent. I've watched them unfold across hundreds of clients over nearly two decades, and at some point I started giving them language.In this episode, I walk through the four stages I see every client move through when they start working on their money: See Clearly, Stand Firm, Own It, and Build Forward. I talk about what the client is experiencing at each stage, what they actually need from you (which is often different from what you want to give them), and the coaching mistakes that happen when you're doing the right work at the wrong time.This episode connects to the SpendFirst™ methodology, but the pattern applies regardless of what system you use. Once you see it, you'll coach differently.Resources mentioned: Episode 27: The four Stages FrameworkFCA and Specialty Toolkits: closing to new enrollment May 18, 2026
What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Elizabeth Dobbs, AVP of Marketing Technology, Data and Growth at Databricks.(00:00) - Intro (01:18) - In This Episode (01:47) - Sponsor: Knak (02:55) - Sponsor: MoEngage (04:16) - Why Velocity Beats Permanence in Marketing Data Architecture (12:00) - Why Databricks Embedded Data Engineers Inside Marketing (15:02) - Inside Databricks' 3 Marketing Ops Agents (18:56) - How Databricks Built an AI Analyst That Marketing Teams Actually Trust (26:13) - How Agent Tagatha Cut Months of Manual Content Tagging to Hours (30:07) - Sponsor: AttributionApp (31:09) - Sponsor: GrowthLoop (34:48) - How Agent Atlas Replaced the Rules-Based Segmentation Wheel (39:28) - Why Marketers Don't Care Whether You Call It an Agent (43:32) - How to Get Data Warehouse Access When Your Team Doesn't Own It (48:36) - What Databricks Is Actually Testing for in Marketing Hires Now (54:04) - What Gives Liz Energy Outside the Office Summary: Elizabeth Dobbs spent 6 years at Databricks doing something most marketing leaders only talk about: building the data infrastructure before deploying the AI on top of it. She's shipped 3 production agents (Marge, Tagatha, and Atlas) and she'll tell you exactly what broke first and why the team kept going anyway. You'll hear how a marketing lakehouse becomes the foundation that makes every agent actually work, why the agent label debate is a distraction, and what Liz is genuinely testing for in marketing interviews now that AI-polished resumes all look the same in Greenhouse. If your AI ambitions are running ahead of your data foundation, this episode is going to reorder your roadmap.About Elizabeth DobbsElizabeth Dobbs is the AVP of Marketing Technology, Data and Growth at Databricks, where she leads the team responsible for the company's full marketing stack, including data engineers and data scientists embedded directly in marketing. Promoted to AVP in February 2025 after more than 5 years building Databricks' marketing data infrastructure from scratch, she architected the company's marketing lakehouse and deployed 3 production AI agents serving the entire marketing org. Before Databricks, she spent nearly 7 years at Khoros in a series of marketing operations and demand generation leadership roles, including Chief of Staff to the CMO.Why Velocity Beats Permanence in Marketing Data ArchitectureIf you work at a company called Databricks, you assume the marketing data is fine. The word "data" is literally in the name. When Elizabeth Dobbs was interviewing 6 years ago and someone in sales ops told her straight up that the data was a complete mess, she thought they were being politely humble. She took the job. She found out they meant it.What she encountered fit the startup playbook exactly. Agencies hired for agency's sake because headcount was thin. Systems that barely talked to each other. Stacks of what she calls "human middleware," people spending their days manually bridging gaps the infrastructure couldn't close. Databricks was probably no worse than any other high-growth startup at that scale. But fixing it meant accepting something most marketing teams resist: building for permanence is a waste of energy.When Liz and her team sat down to fix things, they made a call that runs against how most marketing orgs are wired. They stopped trying to build the perfect foundation. At 1,000 people, you might get away with it. At 10,000, perfection is a distraction. By the time you finish, the company has changed shape again. So they optimized for velocity. Centralized data imperfectly. Built shared definitions that not everyone followed consistently. Accepted the bubblegum-and-duct-tape reality. And they stayed intentional about exactly 1 thing: knowing which decisions you cannot walk back.The one-way door framework is how they sorted the rest. Some decisions hurt to make but compound over time. A marketing lakehouse, all first-party data in 1 governed and catalogued place, is the example she keeps returning to. There is no SaaS tool you would buy, no agent you would deploy, that wouldn't benefit from having that foundation underneath it. That makes it a no-regret decision even when it's brutal to build. The other category, the rip-and-replace bets, is where you move fast and hedge. Agents might automate an entire workflow in 18 months. They might not be ready. You place smaller bets there and iterate. What you don't do is apply the same level of commitment to decisions that actually shouldn't last.6 years later, the core of Databricks' marketing stack looks a lot like it did when Liz started. LeanData. Familiar prospecting tools. The same basic webinar infrastructure. The vendors who survived are the ones who grew alongside the team, who stayed flexible as Databricks scaled well past what their standard playbook assumed. In a market that treats every tool as disposable, the ones that last are the ones that earned it. The companies that build durable AI systems in marketing will be the ones who made the unsexy architectural call first and let everything else follow from it.Key takeaway: Before committing to any AI agent or new platform, split your roadmap into 2 categories: one-way doors and reversible bets. A centralized, governed marketing data layer goes in the one-way door category. Pour resources into it without condition and treat every setback as a speed bump. For everything else, including which agents you deploy and which tools you layer on top, move fast, hedge small, and iterate. Run that filter on your next planning cycle and you'll stop debating tools and start building the foundation that makes all of them actually work.Why Databricks Embedded Data Engineers Inside MarketingMarketing ops leaders who don't have embedded data engineers spend a lot of time explaining to others why they can't move faster. Liz's team has data engineers and data scientists who report into marketing, not into a central IT org. Most people assume she fought for it. The actual story is less dramatic and more instructive.It came from 2 leaders giving the team room before they could prove the full return. Her CMO Rick and CCIO Mike Hamilton were direct about it: we have our own fires, you know enough to be dangerous, you know where the lines are. File Jira tickets if you need something outside your lane, but otherwise go run. That kind of organizational trust is rare. What made it stick was showing the velocity difference on something concrete. Bring in 1 or 2 data engineers with actual marketing domain experience, and the speed gap becomes obvious. Marketing data has its own rules. MDF means different things to different teams. ROAS has regional variations. Pipeline attribution is a political minefield. Someone who has lived in that domain moves 10 times faster than someone learning it in place.That observation turns out to apply directly to the agents Liz's team built later. You spend months onboarding a new hire with marketing domain context. That person leaves before the investment fully pays off and you start over. Agents don't do that. You train them, you give them the context, they hold it. What Databricks figured out with internal resourcing, they've since encoded into how they think about deploying AI. The parallel is direct and Liz draws it explicitly: the reason domain knowledge matters for people is the same reason it matters when you're configuring an agent.The team that resulted from this structure is part of why Marge, Tagatha, and Atlas were even possible. You can't build a marketing lakehouse without engineers who understand what the data is supposed to represent. You can't deploy an agent ...

Your Digital Twin Is Already Alive. You Don't Own It. Before you went to sleep last night, you built your digital twin. Every app tap, GPS ping, and scroll added another brick. The problem: you don't own it, can't correct it, and it will outlive you. Companies like Acxiom — now rebranded LiveRamp after the original name became too radioactive in privacy circles — hold up to 10,000 data points per person. Not through hacking. Through identity graphs that silently stitch your grocery loyalty card to your 2 a.m. weather searches without your knowledge or consent. Clearview AI scraped 30 billion photos from the open internet. Their CEO admitted it on camera without flinching. European regulators levied massive fines and demanded deletion. It didn't work — because when your face is ingested into a neural network, it stops being a file. It becomes math. Baked into the weights. You cannot unbake a cake and pull out a single egg. Microsoft's voice-cloning system needs three seconds of audio to replicate you saying anything, in any emotional register. Three seconds. A voicemail to a plumber. A clip from a Zoom call. The system maps the acoustic environment — so a clone recorded in a parking garage sounds like it's calling from a parking garage. Your brain's threat-response circuitry evolved over millions of years to recognize a loved one in distress. It has no defense against a synthetic replica of that signal. A 2018 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences — researchers from Stony Brook and Penn — detected clinical depression three months before a physician made the diagnosis. The input wasn't medical records. It was Facebook posts. The algorithm tracked a measurable rise in first-person pronouns: I, me, my. Psychological research shows that as depression develops, focus turns involuntarily inward long before the person consciously recognizes it. Sadness leaks into syntax. The algorithm reads the leak. Now place that capability in the hands of a corporate HR department or a life insurance underwriter. They don't need a diagnosis. They see the semantic pattern, the timestamp of your 3 a.m. scrolling, and they attach a derived attribute to your profile: high risk, severe depression. Your resume gets filtered out. You never know why. You have no one to appeal to. Under current U.S. federal law, you have almost no right to see, correct, or delete what data brokers hold. The inferences an algorithm draws about your mental health, financial risk, and behavioral trajectory are classified as the corporation's intellectual property. Not yours. Theirs. The conclusions a machine drew about your mind belong to the company that owns the server. Clicking "do not sell my personal information" stops one broker from selling your data tomorrow. It does nothing for the broker who bought your identity graph two years ago and has no legal obligation to honor your request. When you die, the twin doesn't. The face print stays in the neural network. The voice clone lives on a server farm indefinitely. A growing grief-tech industry is already selling your family an AI avatar of you — managed, monetized, and edited by a corporation that never knew you, presenting whatever version of you best serves their subscription model. The question worth sitting with: if your digital twin is legally someone else's property and it outlives you long enough to interact with your grandchildren — at what point does the algorithm decide how your own family remembers you? This post is based on a recorded discussion exploring the architecture of persistent digital identity, data broker operations, and the legal framework governing algorithmic inference in the United States.robotcrimeblog.com

Robert J. Hunt is the business owner and peer group leader for REF Dallas, where he dedicates his expertise to elevating DFW-area CEOs and business owners. After spending the early part of his career in Marketing and Sales leadership, Robert made a significant pivot in 2013 to focus on helping leaders become the best versions of themselves. Through REF Dallas, he fosters a community of innovative minds, turning business challenges into profound opportunities for growth. Beyond the peer group, Robert provides personalized leadership coaching, emphasizing accountability and the pursuit of excellence for leaders committed to impact.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart Podcast. Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Robert J. Hunt, business owner, peer group leader for REF Dallas, and author of "Nobody Cares Until You Do," a guide to personal accountability. Robert defines selling from the heart as being genuine and authentic rather than relying solely on techniques and scripts. The conversation centers on accountability as ownership—distinct from responsibility—and emphasizes that salespeople must own their actions, attitude, energy, and results instead of blaming leads, the economy, coworkers, or tools. Robert outlines four victim traps—blame, excuses, "I can't," and waiting/hope—and encourages taking immediate action, even starting with one small step. He stresses that real accountability involves inviting others in through vulnerability (e.g., a coach or trusted person who won't enable excuses) while recognizing that only the individual can truly be accountable. Robert also addresses "head trash" and self-limiting beliefs, stating that identity caps performance and asserting that people are a "10" and can grow in every role. He shares a personal story of owing $90,000 in debt and selling their home to downsize as part of owning their situation and rebuilding. The episode includes how to get the book via Amazon, Audible (read by the authors), or at nobodycaresbook.com, and offers a free copy to the first two people who use the code word "Selling from the Heart." The hosts close by urging listeners to reflect rather than deflect, invest in themselves, and take action to build momentum.KEY TAKEAWAYSAccountability vs. Responsibility: Responsibility is what you do; accountability is owning how you do it - your attitude, energy, and entire effort.The Four Victim Traps: Blame, excuses, saying "I can't," and waiting/hoping keep you powerless.Own It to Change It: If you own your situation, you have the power to fix it. Nobody can force accountability on you.You Are Already a 10: You'll never perform higher than the identity you claim. Stop thinking you're less than a 10.Accountability Needs Vulnerability: Invite someone into your journey who won't accept excuses but will encourage your best.Take One Step Today: One small action builds momentum. Don't wait for perfect conditions.HIGHLIGHT QUOTES"Nobody cares about your junk unless you care enough to do something about it.""If you own it, you have the power to do something about it.""You'll never do any role in your life higher than the identity you claim to be. If you think you're a five, you'll never be more than a five.""We don't need someone who will make us feel better that we didn't do what we're supposed to do. We need people who will listen and encourage us to be the best version of ourselves.""The longer you stay as a victim, the less likely you will ever get out of it.""When you want the life you want, when you really, really want something, you won't give up. You'll press on.""Just own it. It doesn't get any better when you don't own it. It just gets worse."FOLLOW THE CONVERSATIONLearn more about Robert J.

In this episode of "Work It, Live It, Own It," SaCola Lehr discusses the concept of the success paradox, where individuals may feel empty despite achieving societal-defined success. She explains that this paradox occurs when people have followed a prescribed script for success but now need to create their own path. She emphasizes the importance of aligning one's priorities with authentic desires rather than assigned ones. She shares a personal story to illustrate this point and provided a practical strategy, the "energy audit," which involves tracking energy levels in response to daily activities over a week.

Why the most powerful voices today are not choosing between being an educator or an entertainer — they're learning how to be both. She introduces the concept of the edutainer: a leader who teaches through lived experience, storytelling, and embodiment. This episode is a deep dive into why purely educational content hits a visibility ceiling, why personality and story matter more than ever in the age of AI, and how to blend value with authenticity in a way that builds trust, connection, and long-term influence.If you're a podcaster, thought leader, or brand-builder who feels torn between being “professional” and being yourself — this episode is your permission slip.Key Topics Discussed & TakeawaysEducation without story is forgettable — story without substance doesn't lastTrust is built when listeners feel seen, not talked atYour lived experience is not extra — it's essentialAuthority comes from embodiment, not perfectionYou don't need to be louder — you need to be truerThe most magnetic content is anchored in identity, not performanceConnect with Sam / Voice and VisibilityWebsite: www.voiceandvisibility.comNewsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Samantha on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Samantha on Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibilityBeing an edutainer isn't about oversharing or chasing attention.It's about owning your voice, your perspective, and your story — and letting those lead.When you blend teaching with truth, expertise with experience, and value with humanity, people don't just listen… they stay.Edutainer identity, thought leadership, storytelling in business, podcast growth strategy, authentic personal branding, content that converts, audience connection, visibility without burnout, leadership through embodiment, creator economy 2026, podcasting as influence, sustainable brand building, emotional resonance in media, owning your voice, educator vs entertainer, voice-led business, Own It podcast, Samantha Warren

Most people think midlife is about loss, decline, or crisis… but what if it's actually an invitation—to stop performing, stop abandoning yourself, and finally listen to the quiet truths you've been avoiding?In this episode, Samantha sits down with Dr. Amy Lindsey—host of Welcome to Your B-Side—for an unscripted, deeply human conversation about identity, secret desires, shame, purpose, and the courage it takes to follow the nudge when there's no clear plan. Together, they explore podcasting as modern storytelling, midlife as a spiritual awakening, and why authenticity isn't just personal—it's physiological.This isn't a conversation about “fixing” your life.It's about flipping the record over, honoring your B-side, and trusting the next step—even when you can't see the full map.Because fulfillment doesn't come from playing the hits.It comes from telling the truth.Key Topics Discussed:Midlife as an awakening rather than a breakdown or crisisThe concept of “secret thoughts” (desire vs. shame) and why they matterHow self-abandonment impacts mental, emotional, and physical healthPodcasting as modern campfire storytelling and real connectionWhy authenticity is the currency of the futureThe danger of living through your “representative” instead of your true selfPurpose, surrender, and following the nudge one step at a timeConnect with Sam / Voice and VisibilityWebsite: www.voiceandvisibility.comNewsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Samantha on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Samantha on Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibilityConnect with Dr. Amy LindseyPodcast: Welcome to Your B-Side with Dr. Amy LindseyYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@dramylindseySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1bEr0H0QjFDW5qdYmD66pdApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/welcome-to-your-b-side-midlife-metamorphosis/id1849468127Website: https://dramylindsey.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramylindsey/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-amy-lindsey-nd-00a1236/Own It with Samantha Warren, midlife awakening, secret thoughts journaling, identity work podcast, purpose and authenticity, B-side of life, midlife transformation, spiritual awakening midlife, self-concept and health, authenticity and mental health, podcasting as storytelling, leadership identity, surrender and purpose, stop self-abandonment, personal truth and growth, spiritual entrepreneur podcast, inner voice and intuition, identity evolution, authentic living, thought leadership podcast
Most people just want more downloads.. but what if you're chasing the wrong metric?In this episode, Samantha sits down with Eric Singer—Creative Director and Partner at Coupe Studios—to unpack what actually makes a podcast work: sound, storytelling, trust, and respect for the listener.This isn't about chasing downloads, viral clips, or overnight monetization. It's about understanding podcasting as an intimate, neurological medium—and why authenticity, production choices, and identity alignment matter more than polish or reach.Because podcasting isn't about being everywhere, it's about resonance, storytelling and connection to the listener.
