In this episode, Anna Rose and Kobi Gurkan chat with Vikas Rushi from PSE, and Ying Tong to explore two topics at the intersection of ZK and the real-world data: zkPDF and zkID.  First they dive into zkPDF, a set of tools for proving facts on digitally signed PDFs. Vikas talks about the challenges of parsing data inside zkVMs—working with decades-old specifications that use many different encodings, and tackling practical use-cases like bank statements and ID verification. They also explain how issuers, such as India's DigiLocker, can generate proofs in a way that protects individual privacy. Next they cover zkID and the EF's work on building a system that would meet the EU's Digital Identity Framework requirements ahead of its 2026 rollout. Ying Tong explains how the EF's work on zkID differs from existing zk-based identity projects, particularly through its device-binding requirements, the cryptographic community's feedback to the EU Commission, the trade-offs between proof systems, PSE's work on standards and more. They wrap up with a chat about the challenges of revocation in both systems, and what's next for the projects.  Related links: Episode 367: Local-First with grjte and Goblin Oats Episode 366: Bringing ID Onchain with Self Episode 363: Bringing ZK to Google Wallet with Abhi and Matteo Episode 362: zkTLS with Maddy from Reclaim Episode 358: Building ZK Registries Onchain with Rarimo Episode 353: Making ZK More Human with ZK Email Episode 330: Frameworks for Programmable Privacy with Ying Tong and Bryan Gillespie Community Privacy Residency Anon Aadhaar DigiLocker

Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast releases a 2 new episodes every week on Mondays and Wednesdays. Every Monday, we release an episode that is the next lesson of our IFR Online Ground School. Every Wednesday, we release an episode that is the next lesson of our Private Pilot Online Ground School.    We are working our way through both Online Ground Schools for students to listen to ground school for FREE! If you don't want to wait for new podcasts or you don't want to hear ads or course updates, you can join us in our VIP podcast. In order to join the VIP podcast, you must purchase our Online Ground School. When you do, you'll get sent an email invite to the VIP podcast to download and listen on your favorite podcast app, plus all the amazing lifetime features inside our Online Ground Schools (lessons, videos, audio, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, test prep PDFs, grade tracking, digital notes, trained AI instructor chat, 7-day a week email support, online study group, scholarships and more).    The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it.   The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school.    You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive.    This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture.    Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 2000 students take and pass their Private Pilot & IFR exams with only 2 total students failing the written. That's a 99.9% success rate! And the 2 that failed? We refunded their cost of ground school and helped them pass on their second attempt. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more.   Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.    Private Pilot - Section 5 - Lesson #5: In this Free Private Pilot Ground School lesson we talk about all things fog including everything a student private pilot needs to know about fog, the different fogs as well as how they form and when you can expect them.   Links mentioned in the episode: Online Ground School: https://parttimepilot.com/private-pilot-online-ground-school/?utm_source=podcast Free How to Become a Private Pilot course: https://parttimepilot.com/free-how-to-become-a-pilot/ Ultimate Test Prep Book: https://amzn.to/4kHrvfo   Ultimate FAA Written Questions Book: https://amzn.to/4hqTXzm   Ultimate Checkride Oral Prep Book: https://amzn.to/4iGh0XQ   Practical Test Standards: https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/test_standards   Private Pilot Online Study Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parttimepilot/

Pastor Ben Smith preaches expositionally from Psalm 16 on how the power, providence, and salvation of God give hope to Christians in the present and for eternity.Psalm 16 is a Psalm of David. God would make a way for David to be king, but there would be a long period where he was a fugitive on the run from an enraged and unhinged monarch. Psalm 16 may have been written during this chaotic period of David's life.On the run, hunted, and under constant threat, David finds real and lasting peace and security in the power, providence, and faithfulness of God.Everyone is looking for peace and security, but how do you find real and lasting peace and security? How can you find unshakable hope and peace in a world filled with so much trouble? Psalm 16 declares the sureness, goodness, and faithfulness of God and encourages the church to know the sure hope of God, in God's refuge, providence, and eternal salvation.Find Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.This sermon was originally preached on 8/3/2025.

The transition from summer to fall brings new challenges for gymnasts as they balance back-to-school demands with increased training loads, requiring careful planning to prevent injuries and build a foundation for competition season. We discuss how to create a training plan that accommodates the physiological, mental, and lifestyle changes that occur during this critical period.• Four key "buckets" for successful preseason training: strength/conditioning, metabolic capacity, gymnastics progressions, and physical preparation/education• Why traditional cardio methods like long runs and endless panel mat jumps qualify as "junk mileage" that doesn't effectively prepare athletes for the demands of competition• Difference between aerobic conditioning (not sport-specific) and the 60-90 second anaerobic bursts needed for gymnastics routines• Sport-specific cardio progressions that build capacity while minimizing injury risk• Why recovery between sessions is where actual improvement happens, not during the training itself• Importance of proactively educating athletes and parents about sleep, nutrition, hydration and stress management• Creating gym cultures that normalize recovery practices rather than only addressing them when problems arise• Simple, practical ways coaches can incorporate education about recovery into daily practiceTry collecting high-quality, evidence-based resources on sleep, nutrition, hydration, and stress management to create simple one-page PDFs for parents and athletes as part of your welcome packet or regular communications.We appreciate you listening!

Literary agent Richard Curtis was a pioneer in the e-book industry. Having worked in publishing for nearly 50 years, he understands nuances, trends, and the long arc of what makes authors and publishers successful. He adapted his agenting model to accommodate the consolidations of the publishing houses and what those changes meant for agents and writers. He's written several books on those topics, and authors the popular Substack newsletter, Inside Agenting. But earlier this year, Richard discovered an A.I. tool that shocked even him. NotebookLM, a Google product released in 2023, turns difficult topics into engaging conversations. It can summarize PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, audio files, Google Docs, or Google Slides, and create realistic podcasts about the topic. We tasked it with introducing Richard on the podcast. You'll hear that introduction, produced in less than five minutes, and what Richard thinks of it. He talks with Marrie about what these A.I. tools mean for writers and publishers, and how writers should be reacting in the moment. He also provides his thoughts on chasing industry trends, how to target the right agent for your work, how technology has always been upending the industry, and what might happen in this next revolutionary round of upheavals.

When God saves you, He transforms you, and your life will bear the evidence of His holiness. David begins Psalm 15 with a question.Who can sojourn or abide with God, and who can dwell or remain in the presence of God? The simple answer to this is no one, unless they have been redeemed and made righteous through saving faith.David answers his opening question with six characteristics of a life that has been transformed by God. These six characteristics are not an exhaustive list but are representative of the transformation that God brings to your life through salvation that produces in you a life after God's own heart.

Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast releases a 2 new episodes every week on Mondays and Wednesdays. Every Monday, we release an episode that is the next lesson of our IFR Online Ground School. Every Wednesday, we release an episode that is the next lesson of our Private Pilot Online Ground School.    We are working our way through both Online Ground Schools for students to listen to ground school for FREE! If you don't want to wait for new podcasts or you don't want to hear ads or course updates, you can join us in our VIP podcast. In order to join the VIP podcast, you must purchase our Online Ground School. When you do, you'll get sent an email invite to the VIP podcast to download and listen on your favorite podcast app, plus all the amazing lifetime features inside our Online Ground Schools (lessons, videos, audio, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, test prep PDFs, grade tracking, digital notes, trained AI instructor chat, 7-day a week email support, online study group, scholarships and more).    The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it.   The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school.    You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive.    This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture.    Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 2000 students take and pass their Private Pilot & IFR exams with only 2 total students failing the written. That's a 99.9% success rate! And the 2 that failed? We refunded their cost of ground school and helped them pass on their second attempt. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more.   Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.    Private Pilot - Section 5 - Lesson #4: In this Free Private Pilot Ground School lesson we dive deeper into weather systems and get into some of the hazardous types of weather we private pilots need to worry about. Particularly, we discuss thunderstorms, wind shear and temperature inversions. We cover some things you'll definitely see on the FAA Written Exam.    Links mentioned in the episode: Temperature Inversions Video: https://youtu.be/jTrZZvnIHl8  Online Ground School: https://parttimepilot.com/private-pilot-online-ground-school/?utm_source=podcast Free How to Become a Private Pilot course: https://parttimepilot.com/free-how-to-become-a-pilot/ Ultimate Test Prep Book: https://amzn.to/4kHrvfo   Ultimate FAA Written Questions Book: https://amzn.to/4hqTXzm   Ultimate Checkride Oral Prep Book: https://amzn.to/4iGh0XQ   Practical Test Standards: https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/test_standards   Private Pilot Online Study Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parttimepilot/

In this episode, Tina Tower dives deep into the art of creating irresistible offers for digital online courses. She emphasizes that oftentimes, the root problem isn't your selling ability—it's your offer and messaging. Tina unpacks actionable strategies to help your ideal clients feel like your offer was made just for them, making it a natural next step to say “yes!” Key Topics Covered: Know Your Ideal Client Intimately Be ultra-specific about who you're selling to—not just demographics, but psychographics. Dive deep into their worries, desires, and daily challenges so your offer speaks directly to them. Sell the Transformation, Not the Format Don't just list what your course includes—modules, PDFs, calls. Paint a vivid picture of the transformation and outcome clients will achieve after completing your program. Build in Instant Gratification Give buyers a quick win right at the start to boost confidence and momentum. Fast-action bonuses and clear “Start Here” sections help clients feel immediate value and satisfaction. Stack Value Without Overwhelm Articulate the value of each component, but avoid piling on so much that it overwhelms your audience. These days, less is more—show how you'll get them results in the quickest, easiest way possible. Inject Real, Ethical Urgency Create authentic reasons for people to take action now (like limited-time bonuses or special pricing), but always keep it genuine—false scarcity can break trust. Make the Investment a No-Brainer Clearly show how the value and return outweigh the cost. Highlight the financial, emotional, or energetic ROI and back it up with testimonials, clear guarantees, and simple pricing breakdowns. Use Irresistible, Relatable Offer Language Make your messaging pop! Use engaging, best-friend-style copy that speaks to hopes, dreams, and relief—the emotional end-game your clients are seeking. Evaluate your current offer using these seven pillars. Is it ultra-specific? Does it promise real transformation? Layer in instant wins and smart bonuses, and use language that feels personal. Remember, your irresistible offer is the key to standing out—and truly serving your dream clients.

In this technical deep dive, Generation AI explores the evolution from prompt engineering to context engineering - a critical shift in how we build intelligent AI systems. Hosts Ardis Kadiu and Petar Djordjevic from Element451 break down why static prompts are no longer enough and how dynamic context management is the key to creating truly smart agents. They explain the technical architecture behind retrieval augmented generation (RAG), discuss the challenges of building multi-agent systems that coordinate effectively, and reveal how Element451's new bulk jobs feature represents the cutting edge of context engineering in higher education. The episode concludes with an analysis of Mark Zuckerberg's vision for "personal superintelligence" - always-on AI assistants that remember everything about you. This matters because institutions need to understand that the success of AI agents depends entirely on having rich, well-structured data and proper context management - not just smart models.Introduction and the Shift from Prompt to Context Engineering (00:00:00)Welcome back Petar Djordjevic as co-host for the third timeThe transformation from static prompt libraries to dynamic context systemsWhy GPT-4's evolution to reasoning models changed everythingHow agents use tools to gather real-time information instead of relying on frozen knowledgeDefining Context Engineering vs Prompt Engineering (00:04:11)Context engineering as managing dynamic information for AI tasksThe evolution from one-shot prompt problems to complex agent workflowsHow automation requirements drove the need for context engineeringWhy "it's their first day on the job every day" for AI modelsDeep Dive into RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) (00:17:17)The complete RAG pipeline: from user query to accurate responseBreaking down queries into multiple intents for better resultsVector databases and metadata attachment for information storageThe importance of combining keyword search with semantic searchAdvanced RAG Techniques and Challenges (00:21:08)Data preparation: parsing PDFs and extracting meaningful chunksWhy semantic search alone isn't enough - the CS101 problemRe-ranking and post-processing to get the most relevant resultsHow to handle citations and build user trust in AI responsesBuilding Complex Agent Systems at Element451 (00:33:08)Element451's new Bulk Jobs feature as a case studyThe research phase: gathering student data, interaction history, and contextWhy data-rich platforms are essential for successful agentsMoving from segment-based personalization to true "segment of one"Context Pruning and Tool Selection (00:41:31)Why you can't just throw all data into the context windowPerformance degradation with large contexts - the needle in haystack problemSelecting the right tools for each task (SMS vs WhatsApp example)How to compress and adapt content for optimal performanceMulti-Agent Coordination and State Management (00:46:48)The challenge of multiple agents working on the same studentContext writing: how agents remember what they did and whyPreventing redundant actions across different departmentsBuilding systems that coordinate like experienced teamsCommon Mistakes in Context Engineering (00:50:17)The danger of being "lazy about context" and assuming AI is smart enoughWhy domain expertise is crucial for building effective agentsThe importance of vertical-specific agents (Cursor, Harvey, Sierra examples)How Element451 leverages its CRM data for education-specific agentsThe Future: Personal Superintelligence (00:53:18)Mark Zuckerberg's vision of always-on, memory-rich personal AIMeta's glasses as the computing platform of the futureAndrej Karpathy's small model with massive context approachChallenges: ambient monitoring, recall/summary, lifelong memory files - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Ardis Kadiuhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ardis/https://twitter.com/ardisDr. JC Bonillahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jcbonilla/https://twitter.com/jbonillxAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:Generation AI is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

This lead me to discover new and fresh things to grow my business, one of them being paid ads. I spent countless hours of my life trying to run Meta ads with little to no success. I knew something had to change, and I needed to hire this out to an expert. After much research and countless calls with companies, I settled on running my ads through Fill Your Books. They were well known in the industry, and they were one of the few companies that allowed you to keep what they built out for you. Since my ad launch in May, I've received hundreds of messages with eager clients ready to book. And without my ads, maybe they would've never found my salon. So instead of trying a million things yourself and seeing what sticks, I recommend hiring an expert to help you expedite this growth. To learn more about how Fill Your Books can help you grow your client base, book a walkthrough and be sure to mention I sent you! https://fillyourbooks.com/

Today I sit down with Willoughby Britton and Jared Lindahl, the interdisciplinary team from Brown University that is responsible for the “Varieties of Contemplative Experience” study on the challenges and adverse effects of meditation. We talk about the design, findings, and outcomes of the study, and how it opened up a new field of interdisciplinary investigation. Along the way we ask: if someone suffers harm from practicing meditation, whose fault is it? What is the ultimate cause? And who gets to interpret the experience?

ARE YOU READY, REFINER? IT DOESN'T GET MUCH COOLER THAN THIS...The episode "Chikhai Bardo" blew a lot of people away when it premiered as the 7th episode of the second season. A brand new leader was in the Director's Chair but she was a familiar face to both cast and crew. This is Cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagne's first foray into directing. Based on the incredible success of this episode, she'll probably never be a cinematographer again. We're going back in time with a blushing Mark and Gemma. We'll see how they met and fell in love. We'll ALSO venture down to the 'Testing Floor' where a very alive Gemma is being subjected to bizarre tortures by Robby Benson and Sandra Bernhard. Mark is passed out on his couch and Reghabi and Devon are about to come to blows over his body.It's a wild one, Refiner...and this is just PART ONE. Strap in and fire up that workstation. It's time to discover the wonder that is 'Chikhai Bardo.'***A BIG 'thank you' to Research Volunteer Refiner Vinny P.

Are you a coach using video to grow your business but struggling to turn those videos into real leads and clients? This episode is your game-changer. Tune in to learn a proven, step-by-step video funnel strategy that's generating consistent inbound leads from just 1–2 videos a month—even in 2025's changing content landscape. You'll discover how to shift from outdated lead magnets to high-converting “micro win offers,” how to spark meaningful conversations with warm leads, and how to turn engagement into booked calls and clients. Whether you're in fitness, health, or coaching, this is a must-listen to create content that actually converts.   “Stop being so damn vanilla. Maybe you have to be more polarizing with your stuff. Maybe, just maybe you have to get better at your skills. Go figure.”   Key Takeaways: Simple Video Funnel = Consistent Leads A well-crafted video funnel using just 1–2 strategic videos a month can consistently generate inbound leads and clients when done correctly. Long-Form Video Is Back Studies from Meta and Google show that long-form content is crucial for conversions, with buyers needing around 7 hours of content across 11 touchpoints and 4 mediums before making a purchase. Magic Money Math Is Essential Knowing your key performance indicators—especially your "magic number" (e.g., how many call offers or conversations you need daily)—helps you stay focused on income-producing actions. Micro Win Offers Outperform Traditional Lead Magnets Instead of outdated PDFs and guides, offer quick, high-value tools (like GPTs, calculators, or checklists) that create tangible results in under 10 minutes to build trust and generate interest. Messaging Must Match the Market If your content isn't getting engagement or leads, the issue is likely your messaging. Speak the right words, in the right way, to the right people to create connection and conversion. Engagement Begins with Strategic Content Conversion content campaigns that include posts with clear hooks and CTAs lead to warm conversations in the DMs, which then turn into booked calls and sales—without needing cold outreach.     Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Have you heard of Photobiomodulation (PBM)? Or are you thinking... ‘photo-what?!' Is red light therapy just voodoo science—or is it already part of mainstream healthcare? Can PBM really help with wound healing, pain relief, and even reduce the risk of dementia? In this episode, Professor Praveen Arany joins Jaz Gulati to break down the science and clinical relevance of PBM in dentistry. They explore how this light-based therapy works, its applications in managing oral lesions, and why it's already standard care for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. They also discuss real-world cases, practical protocols, and how PBM could shape the future of dental care. Whether you're a skeptic or just curious, this episode will open your eyes to an emerging and evidence-based treatment modality. https://youtu.be/lQrawr3-YQA Watch PDP234 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: SHEEP Scoring as a practical tool to assess the prognosis and restorability of compromised teeth.

Since April 2025, KNLA and allied PDFs have seized key military outposts in the Thai-Myanmar border, with the SAC failing to regain control of the Asian Highway. In response, Thailand is leaning toward China's conflict resolution strategy, focusing on de-escalating conflict through trade and economic incentives. In this podcast, using AI-generated voiceovers, we delve into five key differences between Thailand and China in influencing Myanmar's conflict actors.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training RJ Huebert went from corporate comfort to agency chaos—and nearly lost himself in the process. In this episode, he shares what it really takes to balance speed-to-lead sales with sanity, and how he's redesigning his agency life for more freedom, better clients, and real personal wellbeing. Guest Overview RJ Huebert is the founder of HBT Digital, a Pittsburgh-based lead gen agency helping clients capture high-quality leads through digital ads that convert. Former corporate marketer turned agency founder, RJ knows both sides of the game—and why it's harder than it looks. What You'll Learn Why corporate escapees struggle more than expected in agency life The underrated power of speed in lead gen (and what most teams screw up) How to nurture not-yet-ready leads without annoying them What happens when your business always comes before your health and family How RJ is reclaiming time and rebuilding systems Key Takeaways Speed wins deals: If your sales team isn't responding within minutes, you're losing leads. Nurture with value: Use short, high-impact videos instead of stale PDFs. Even Meta is doing email wrong: Don't copy the big guys—build trust instead. Agency life means 20 clients, not one boss: And that requires stronger boundaries. Health > Hustle: RJ's learning that health, family, and freedom must come first. The solution? Systems: You can't scale or shut your brain off without them. Are you working harder than ever, but still can't turn your brain off—even on weekends? Today's featured guest is one of the many agency owners who has found it hard to find the right balance to take care of himself as well as the business. Like many agency owners, he made the leap from building someone else's business to finally building his own. But trading a cozy corporate job for the chaos of running an agency with dozens of clients wasn't as easy as it looked. He shares the real challenges of sales, why speed is still the secret to winning leads, and how he's figuring out how to convert prospects who aren't quite ready to buy. Most importantly, he opens up about the ongoing struggle to find the right balance between health, family, and keeping the agency growing. RJ Huebert is the founder of HBT Digital, a Pittsburgh-based lead generation agency helping clients pull in quality leads using online ads that actually convert. After 11 years of climbing the corporate marketing ladder, RJ got tired of building someone else's dream and decided to bet on himself—and it's paying off. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why he stopped building someone else's dream. How speed wins in lead generation. Always be first to respond. Ways to nurture leads that are not ready to buy. Why boundaries and self care are more important now than ever.

Here's the Wake-Up Call Like many agency owners before starting their own business, RJ was the corporate marketing guy building someone else's business, getting them rich, while rising through the ranks and learning how to actually drive results with digital marketing. Also like many others, he hit a moment of questioning whether it was worth it after eleven years. Sound familiar? That's when he decided it was time to test if people would actually pay him for these skills. He got some clients on the side, launched a 5K race company, and eventually opened his own digital marketing agency, proving that you can take your skills and build your own agency if you're willing to start. The Attribution Struggle He Faced as an Agency Client From his experience hiring agencies on the corporate side, one of the biggest frustrations RJ encountered was the attribution nightmare. It wasn't always easy to see where the lead came from and where they were at in the pipeline. This was some ten years ago, so every agency was siloed: SEO, PPC, outdoor, TV—and each claimed leads but no one could prove it. And even today, with GA4, HighLevel, UTMs, and tag managers, the truth is: “Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.” We're bombarded with data, but turning it into actionable insight is another story. RJ prefers to establish a baseline, track what matters, and avoid drowning in vanity metrics - like open rates—that don't impact the client's bottom line. Why Speed to Lead Still Wins Both RJ and Jason agree that speed to lead wins deals. If you're not calling leads while they're still on your website you are likely losing opportunities. Just like you probably click on the first result in a Google search, whoever calls back first is going to win. If your sales team is still waiting hours (or days) to follow up, you're leaving money on the table. Rethinking Nurture Sequences Without Being “That Guy” Even if you're not converting them right away, how are you nurturing those leads in a way that doesn't feel like overkill? First of all, replace boring white papers with short, actionable videos that deliver instant value. For example, Jason's Budget Buster video helps prospects get budgets 99% of the time, creating immediate ROI and building trust. Follow that with another bite-sized value piece a few days later. Once leads warm up, move them to your newsletter list. Have some lead magnets ready, like useful videos you can send each week to warm up that client. After that, you can move that client from the “warm-up” list to a newsletter list, so you can send them valuable content on a daily basis. Sending daily value-packed emails to engaged subscribers actually increased their domain authority and engagement. It's about quality frequency, not spam. Think about what you'd want to receive yourself, not just what you want to send. The Meta & Google Frustration We're All Tired Of Not even Meta is getting emails right, as they send multiple emails a day that don't really add much value for clients. On top of that, their reps hardly ever provide the right solutions and are mainly focused on “spend more” strategies. It's a universal frustration for agency owners, who see Meta is calling clients directly trying to cut their agency out. It's one more reason why agencies need to protect their positioning, control client conversations, and not let the platforms dictate strategy. From One Client to Twenty: The Real Agency Rollercoaster What's the hardest shift going from corporate to owning your agency? For RJ, it was going from one clear client you're focusing on at one moment to having even 20 clients, plus “trying to get clients to pay you, to keep paying you, while finding new ones, and keeping them happy.” Running an agency turned out to be way harder than he expected. Corporate can be robotic and boring, but on the bright side, you have one client: your boss. Lose that, and you're done. In the agency world, a client can fire you, but you've got 5, 10, or 20 others paying the bills. The flip side? You're always on. Even when you're “off,” your mind is stuck on proposals, scope creep, and that client's weird Slack message at 10 pm. That's one of the biggest challenges for RJ at the moment. Setting Your Priorities Straight with The Right Systems When it comes to taking care of yourself, your priorities should always be: Health, Family, Agency—In That Order. However, too often agency owners get their priorities backwards. You have a zillion things you can and should be doing and choosing the priority is the challenge. That balancing act gets easier once you build the right leadership team and put systems in place that pull you out of the weeds. But agency owners often struggle to shut their brains off, leading to constant stress, scattered priorities, and burnout cycles that can wreck family time, health, and even your love for the business. If you're stuck in the chaos, it's time to step back and prioritize what actually moves the needle in your agency. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?
