Why Estate Agents Are Getting Marketing All Wrong (And How to Fix It!) In this episode, Russell Quirk, one of the most outspoken figures in UK estate agency, explains why estate agents struggle with marketing and how to turn it around. It's not just about putting properties on Rightmove; it's about promoting your brand effectively to sellers and landlords. Russell discusses how many estate agents are missing the mark by focusing on short term tactics rather than building a solid, long lasting brand. He highlights how top firms like Savills and Foxtons have mastered the art of branding, making it easier to secure listings simply because of the reputation they've built. But, it's not all quick wins. Building a strong brand takes time, effort, and investment; something many agents overlook. Russell also touches on the importance of showcasing your local market knowledge, with 36% of homeowners choosing their estate agent based on expertise, not fees. If you're an estate agent looking to get ahead, this episode offers invaluable insights into how you can build your brand, stand out from the competition, and ultimately win more business.

In this episode we shine a light on a movement in the Church that is taking people's eyes off of Christ – a dangerous theology: Progressive Christianity. This apostate ideology is the hardest in which to reach people with the Truth of the gospel. Progressive Christianity are two opposite words that really don't belong together […]
In this episode of ShiftShapers, host David A. Saltzman sits down with Vinay Patel, PharmD, founder of MakoRX, to expose why prescription pricing remains so confusing—and what can be done to fix it.Patel breaks down how pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), vertical integration, and opaque pricing structures are driving up costs for patients—while limiting access and undermining local pharmacies. From subscription pharmacy programs to cash-pay and compounding models, Patel shares bold, practical solutions for bringing real transparency back into the healthcare system.
Stephen Baxter lives in Tasmania, which has Tasmanian devils which sadly are nothing like the one that gave me nightmares as a little kid watching Looney Tunes cartoons on Saturday mornings.He's a leadership mentor who promotes a style of leadership very different from the stereotypical command-and-control style of celebrated CEOs and generals: a humble, relational, and community-centered style of leadership rooted in influence, story, and service.Drawing from his diverse experience—as a former pastor, mentor to political leaders, and grassroots organizer—Stephen explains the power of "leading leaders" rather than followers, and how narrative, self-awareness, and collaboration shape a more human and sustainable model of leadership.He shows us how it's possible to lead without ego and create culture without control. These qualities can foster change in local communities and global systems.From church pews to parliament halls, from jazz bands to ultimate Frisbee teams, this conversation unpacks how leadership shows up in ordinary places—and why that's where it matters most.What We Talked AboutThe unique leadership ecosystem of TasmaniaHow leadership is different when people come voluntarily (vs. for a paycheck)The myth of the "alpha" leader and the power of facilitationLeadership as storytelling, not statusCultivating leadership in community, not in hierarchyHow fear and unmet needs distort leadershipThe hidden leadership potential in all of usTips for stepping into leadership in your family, workplace, or community
Matt Bufton speaks with Matt McManus about the philosophical foundations of liberalism and socialism, exploring how these two traditions intersect and diverge. They discuss McManus' work on the political theory of liberal socialism, the historical tensions between the two ideologies, and the ways in which contemporary political movements reflect aspects of both. The conversation also touches on critiques of classical liberal thought, the role of the state in economic justice, and the potential for a synthesis between liberal and socialist principles.

[EP 25-089] If a Democrat runs your country, state, county, or city you are not safe. They will pretend to protect you, but ask yourself if you are really protected. But more importantly, look at the realities all around you. They want to defund the police. They let criminals out of prisons, and won't prosecute them. They spend your money on frivolous things, and allow invaders to saturate every institution to the point that citizens can't even use them. Schools are overcrowded, and no longer places for enlightenment and learning, but instead indoctrination. Government services spend more on illegals per capita, than citizens. Border integrity, foreign policy integrity, tax integrity, spending integrity, and so on. You get it?! Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

It's fitting that we would be diving into one of the cornerstones of our work this week on the anniversary of 9/11 - Individualism. 9/11 defined for me the power of true (I)individualism, where the best individuals combined to be our best in situations all across our country. Understanding the power of being best-self so when combined with other best-self individuals, we create a best-self team is where we hope our work takes each (I)individual we engage with.

Join us for another episode of WorkTape as we dive back into 2014, a year packed with the gritty storytelling on Schoolboy Q's "Oxymoron", the GRAMMY success of Lecrae's career-defining "Anomaly", and the smooth, yet, hard-hitting collaboration of Freddie Gibbs and Madlib on "Piñata". We also explore the hauntingly beautiful indie-electronica sounds of Phantogram's "Voices" and the laid-back 60s/70s-era charm of Real Estate's "Atlas". Tune in for an engaging discussion on how these albums left their mark on music.Episode Highlights:How did Schoolboy Q's Oxymoron cement a new era for West Coast hip-hop?What significance did Anomaly end up playing in the entirety of Lecrae's career?Was Run the Jewels 2 the most dynamic hip-hop collaboration of the 2010s?Did Carlos Dengler's absence bottleneck the artistry of Interpol's El Pintor?Has Parquet Courts' Sunbathing Animal lived up to the hype?How did Phantogram's Voices blend trip-hop and electronic influences into indie music?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah talk about a recent story in The Cut, “Was Casual Sex Always This Bad?” (Answer: Probably.) They discuss how subjective the phrase “good sex” is, but for both of them, the playfulness and abandon that makes sex one of life's great pleasures almost never comes after picking up a stranger at the open-bar wedding reception. (Although Nancy does have that one story.)Also discussed:* Silent discos* Pittsburghian slang* The TikTok sex video we want to see* The cinematic tyranny of people having sex against a wall* Consent: the starter manual for drunk college kids* Oof, blackout sex* Men regret sex, too* Swooning: it's a goal!* “Sex is not a thing you do, it's a place you go.”* A thing you should really, really not do to your teeth …Plus, the classic conspiracy film that made Sarah pretty sure everything is a lie, the brand-new podcast Nancy wants to shoot into her veins, the existential thrill of home renovation, and much more!
Former President Trump announced that he will create a government efficiency commission led by Elon Musk. Let's not forget that “government efficiency” is an oxymoron. Government can't rationally economize, like the rest of us. Its decisions are made politically, and not by profits and losses. We don't voluntarily give our money to the government. It takes our money by force. So while government can never be “efficient," it can be, and should be, a lot smaller and less of a burden on us.
Today opens with a new game we can all play together. I play a soundbite from Kamala Harris and you have to guess the age of the audience to whom she is addressing. It's a lot of fun. However, there isn't a lot of variety. Once you know the answer to one situation, you pretty much have the answer for all of them. Then I circle back to earlier in the week with my thoughts on why would Mark Zuckerberg decide to send that letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chair of the Weaponization Committee. I think we are seeing the result of Facebook feeling they have been living under a Mafia-style protection racket for too long. We then continue our analysis of how people who should be intelligent enough to know Kamala Harris is the current Vice President, still seem to think she's never been in office before in her life. Today, we use actor Ben Stiller as the most recent example. He is a living version of an oxymoron. The emotional support animal to Harris, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) wants you to believe they are going to lower taxes for the vast majority of Americans, while sticking it to the corporations, since they are all doing “just fine.” So, I take a look at Walz's fiscal record since being elected to run his state. It's abysmal. Plus, the more you tax corporations, the more it hurts the average American. I take a moment to address the dual-interview tonight between Harris and Walz on CNN. The media is bending over backwards to make it look like every team running for the White House has done a tandem interview. Yes, that's true. But, in over 20 years, none of them did that for their first interview. The Presidential nominee always had several solo outings first. ABC News reports they are not going to change the debate rules for Harris. They are going to keep the same ones they had agreed to when Biden was still the elected nominee. We move to a situation in the Sanctuary city of Denver, CO and how it is spilling into nearby Aurora. It seems Venezuelan gangs are taking over whole apartment buildings and crime is growing out of hand. We hear from Councilwoman Danielle Jurinksy about it and concerns from her constituents. Similarly, an independent journalist discovered three hotels on the same street in the Bronx, NY are all being secretly turned into migrant shelters. As she was recording, several moving trucks arrived with brand new furniture to give to the illegals. I then spend some time illustrating the different between gross profits and the net. It's a concept many don't really understand, which allows politicians to use that ignorance to their advantage. This leads to word today that Dollar General stock had dropped more than 26%, prompting the CEO to address the fall off. He said their core customer are “financially constrained.” For some reason, this reminds me of the parallels in the plot line of The Lion King. Remember what happened when someone stepped into the kingship who didn't earn it? Finally, we get a great sound bite from RFK, Jr's selection for VP, Nicole Shanahan. Once again we have a left-leaning person who admits she had been completely misinformed about what “MAGA” really is. She comments that the “coming together of these two groups over the last week...has been really glorious.” Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

La profesionalización de una empresa es un proceso que nos sirve para garantizar su sostenibilidad, crecimiento y éxito a largo plazo. Implica implementar prácticas y estructuras que permitan operar de manera eficiente, consistente y conforme a los estándares de la industria. Aquí hay algunas estrategias clave para profesionalizar una empresa, de la mano de Pablo Lamas, que es fundador y director de Oxymoron, una empresa dedicada a la gestión y la profesionalización de proyectos y compañías. Para que una empresa sea considerada profesionalizada, debe cumplir con ciertos requisitos que aseguran su buen funcionamiento, eficiencia y capacidad de adaptarse al mercado. Según nuestro invitado, una de ellas es que la compañía “no dependa de nadie para funcionar”. La otra es cómo se toman las decisiones: “La empresa profesional toma decisiones mirando para adelante, mientras que la otra mira para atrás”, sostiene nuestro especialista, y añade: “Una empresa profesional, de algún modo, aprende a visionar lo que pasa en el futuro”. Generar hábitos en una empresa nos permite crear una base sólida para que las tareas se realicen de manera estable, lo cual es crucial en el entorno empresarial actual, donde la competencia y la demanda por la calidad son altas. Para hacerlo, lo primero que tenemos que atender es nuestra visión: “Hay que saber a dónde tenemos que llegar antes de trabajar”, afirma Pablo. A partir de ahí, pensar en los hábitos saludables para conseguir nuestros objetivos. “Nuestra mentalidad, y mucho más en equipos de personas, tiene una resistencia al cambio. Hay que romper ese patrón y, para hacerlo, lo más importante es cambiar el lugar desde el cual se proponen las cosas. Generalmente, las cosas en las empresas se hacen porque el dueño lo ordena y eso no es correcto”, advierte nuestro invitado. El conocimiento de este enfoque no siempre se obtiene a través de la experiencia. A pesar de que es muy importante el aprendizaje obtenido a lo largo de los años, educarse para prevenir contratiempos es esencial. “Una de las virtudes que necesita el empresario es la curiosidad. Uno tiene que mantenerse siempre con la idea de conocer cosas nuevas en la vida profesional y personal, es lo que te abre la imaginación y lo que te permite salir de una espiral endogámica de la experiencia, que es lo que le ocurre muchas veces a las empresas. Veo compañías de 30 años de trayectoria, donde todas las soluciones fueron pensadas por las mismas personas. La caja está muy cerrada. Siempre tienen que haber conectores. Debemos estar atentos a recibir información y eso nos permite copiar. Las ideas no se protegen, lo que se protege es la expresión de una idea. No podemos inventar la rueda en todas las cosas. Lo tuyo es un aspecto, pero mira lo que hicieron otros en el resto de los aspectos. Hoy tienes información en internet sobre cómo se solucionaron los problemas de muchas empresas. Encerrarte sobre tu propia experiencia es una visión muy chiquita en relación a dónde quieres llegar”, destaca nuestro especialista. Los emprendedores tienen muchos desafíos al momento de decidir profesionalizar una empresa, pero si no se gestionan adecuadamente, pueden tener un impacto negativo en la toma de decisiones y en el clima laboral. Una de las emociones que debemos controlar es la ansiedad. “Cuando nos juega una mala pasada y queremos llegar rápido, no nos damos cuenta de que el proceso es parte del camino”, recalca Pablo. Y a ella se le suma el miedo, el cual puede hacer que la compañía pierda oportunidades importantes y se quede atrás frente a la competencia. “Los empresarios que tienen miedo de perder la empresa son conservadores, paranoicos, nunca confían en nadie. Si no amas lo que haces, tu equipo no lo va a amar; si no estás enamorado de tu visión, tu equipo no va a trabajar”, cierra nuestro invitado. Instagram: @pablotlamas

Sustainable dieting. Is that an oxymoron or is it the key to lasting results?Today, I reveal the hard truth about why dieting itself can never be truly sustainable and share a more flexible, realistic approach to achieving your physique goals for the long haul.Sustainable dieting is the notion that you can somehow achieve your fat loss goals by finding a way of eating that you can stick to indefinitely, without ever feeling restricted or deprived.I get the appeal. We all want to believe that there's a magic formula out there, a perfect diet that will allow us to effortlessly shed fat, build muscle, and maintain our dream physique, all while enjoying our favorite foods and never feeling like we're missing out.But here's the harsh reality: dieting, by its very nature, is not sustainable. And anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying to you, or lying to themselves.Find out a different approach on today's Quick Wits.--“Quick Wits” are short mini-episodes between full episodes to give you an actionable strategy or hit of motivation.If you enjoy these bonus episodes or have feedback on how to make them better, just send me a text message.
In this episode, I share with my friend Angie how my background and upbringing affected my ability to feel self-love and acceptance. This episode is a raw, honest exploration of the impact of cultural and religious conditioning on personal identity and relationships. Growing up in a high-demand religious culture, I struggled to reconcile societal and familial expectations with my own sense of self. Angie and I share stories of generational influences, the challenges of adhering to religious standards, and the emotional toll that external judgments can take. Through our candid conversation, we illuminate the journey of breaking free from these molds to find peace in our choices and live authentically.Discover how I ultimately found my calling in podcasting (and talk about a cool past-life regression hypnosis session that had a profound meaning for it), a path that has brought me immense joy and fulfillment. Your support means the world to me, and I invite you to join this ongoing exploration of inner peace and self-acceptance.

"You have to decide how to move forward. You have to decide what game you want to play; how much responsibility you are willing to shoulder. Do you want to stay stuck in the machine?

Or do you have the courage to take control of your wealth, health, thoughts, and speech?" ~ DerGigi Free speech is a non-negotiable foundation for society and human progress, as the open exchange of ideas allows us to productively clash perspectives and arrive at truth.

Over the last year or so, I have noticed more and more the ease with which we roll into cultural “norms”. With that in mind, there are a few topics I thought it could be interesting to dip into. After all, as Christians, we should be be looking at culture with a Biblical world view. That's not to say we should be judgy. I simply assert that we SHOULD be applying Biblical principles and a Biblical mindset to the culture we are so deeply entrenched in. So. Here we are opening up this conversation with a bang. I'm back with my incredible friend and sister-in-law to discuss…. Yoga. After pulling out some research and sharing some amazing testimonies, we are excited to share what we found about the origins of yoga. Our goal today is to shed light and provide some context around our own convictions! We hope to share a Biblical perspective for what is easily considered a cultural norm. Join us today as we dive in to yoga and even a few other bonus topics (free of charge, ha)!

In his book Humble Calvinism, author J.A. Medders writes:"Many of us who love to love the “doctrines of grace” have not grown in showing grace. We have not become more gracious, kind, tender, and compassionate. And that can only mean one thing: we actually don't know the doctrines of grace. Sure, we know the points and can rehearse the arguments ...But an arrogant and argumentative Calvinist is just a Pharisee with a fresh coat of paint."But it doesn't have to be this way. The term "humble Calvinism" should not be an oxymoron.On this replay episode, we discuss why a right understanding of Calvinism should cause us to be gracious, loving, and humble towards others.On This Episode We'll Discuss:What Calvinism is and why a "humble Calvinist" seems like an oxymoron to manyWhy "cage-stage" Calvinism is such a prevalent issueSome keys to help us graciously hold to the Doctrines of GraceHow we can be zealous for the truth and be humble and gracious towards othersPick up a copy of Humble Calvinism: https://amzn.to/3TpAUwxFor more resources and information, see the show notes at ReasonableTheology.org/Episode23If you enjoy the sermons and written works of CH Spurgeon, check out the all-new CHSpurgeon.com Here you'll find sermon audio as well as resources by and about the Prince of Preachers.

Listen now (2 mins) | Let me be blunt: The problem with today’s Supreme Court is that it consists of too many 5-watt bulbs sitting in 100-watt sockets. While most of the nine members are assumed to be brilliant, “smart” is as smart does, and this court’s right-wing majority wallows in stupid, consistently pushing plutocracy, autocracy, and theocracy over the democratic will of the people. Compounding this stupidity, many of the judges have flagrantly accepted “gifts” of cash, luxury vacations, and other freebies from the corporate and right-wing interests that have benefitted from the Court’s rulings. Yet, caught red-handed, the narcissistic jurists assert that We the People should just trust their integrity.
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 29, 2023 is: oxymoron ahk-sih-MOR-ahn noun An oxymoron is a combination of words that have opposite or very different meanings, such as “cruel kindness” or “open secret.” In broader usage, oxymoron can also refer to something (such as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements. // Her favorite Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet, is filled with clever wordplay, including oxymorons such as “sweet sorrow” and “heavy lightness.” See the entry > Examples: “Until now I thought ‘enjoyable science book' was an oxymoron. [Author, Katie] Spalding proved me wrong. I learned a lot and had fun doing it. Turns out a spoonful of snark helps the factoids go down—in a most delightful way.” — Curt Schleier, The Star Tribune (Minneapolis, Minnesota), 19 May 2023 Did you know? The ancient Greeks exhaustively classified the elements of rhetoric, or effective speech and writing, and gave the name oxymoron—literally "pointed foolishness"—to the deliberate juxtaposing of seemingly contradictory words. The roots of oxymoron, oxys meaning "sharp" or "keen," and mōros meaning "foolish," are nearly antonyms themselves, making oxymoron nicely self-descriptive. Oxymoron originally applied to a meaningful paradox condensed into a couple of words, as in "precious bane," "lonely crowd," or "sweet sorrow." Today, however, what is commonly cited as an oxymoron is often simply a curiosity of language, where one or both elements have multiple meanings (shrimp in "jumbo shrimp" doesn't mean "small"; it refers to a sea creature), or a phrase whose elements seem antithetical in spirit, such as "organized chaos."
