We'd signed off. Thanked everyone. Sam Daish was probably ready to start his day in Auckland, and we were wrapping up what had already been a dense conversation about AI in sales. But then Chris started talking about something he calls "micro pivoting" - those split-second adjustments that separate elite salespeople from everyone else - and none of us wanted to hang up. What followed was Chris dissecting the athletic nature of top sales performance, using Cherryl Turner's cold calling mastery as a case study. The insight about how elite reps make tiny voice and timing adjustments that most of us would never notice, and how those microscopic moments determine whether a conversation continues or dies. This wasn't planned content - it was pure discovery happening in real time, the kind of conversation that makes you realize the real secrets are hiding in plain sight. Sometimes the best episodes happen when you think you're done recording.

 Unpacking Las Vegas: A Culinary And Comedic RollercoasterKey Takeaways:The pursuit of unique dining experiences can often lead to unexpected challenges, as revealed through the adventure of seeking Mongolian barbecue in Las Vegas.An evening intended for laughter and entertainment turned into a lesson on the unpredictability of live shows.The camaraderie and shared experiences in relationships can transform even the most disappointing outings into valuable bonding moments.A Quest for Mongolian Barbecue in Las VegasLas Vegas is known for its eclectic mix of entertainment options and culinary delights. Yet, as Mike and Torya discovered, satisfying a craving for Mongolian barbecue is a surprisingly challenging endeavor in this bustling city. When Torya "was craving Mongolian barbecue," the couple embarked on a mission to find this elusive dish, only to realize that "the only place that serves Mongolian barbecue in the entirety of the Las Vegas Valley" was called Stir Crazy.Stir Crazy, which boasted "excellent Google reviews" of "four and a half stars," was promising at first. However, the experience quickly soured with a service misstep. Their frustrating encounter echoed the sentiment, "If it were me, I'd be like, 'Oh, hey, are you getting all you can eat or are you getting an individual bowl right now?'" A lack of clarity and customer service turned an anticipated feast into a teaching moment about the importance of communication in dining establishments. Despite the ordeal, Mike and Torya acknowledged the food's quality. "The ingredients quality was decent," Mike conceded, even while lamenting the surcharge for leaving food uneaten.This vignette not only highlights the trials and tribulations of finding specific cuisines in a widely diversified city like Las Vegas but also underlines the need for better customer service practices to retain clientele. Las Vegas restaurateurs might take a cue from this narrative, recognizing that the quality of service often rivals the quality of food in importance.The Tumultuous Terrain of Live ComedyEager for comedic relief, Mike and Torya attended the Jeff FM show, only to encounter a series of setbacks. The anticipation was palpable as Mike noted, "I thought his podcast is decent. That could be interesting to see." Yet, what should have been an evening of laughter and connection soon shifted to disappointment as barriers to entry and lackluster performance set the tone.A systemic breakdown in organization soured audience enthusiasm before the show even began. "The meet and greet's not done yet," staff mentioned, contributing to a lack of communication and inefficient crowd management, leaving guests waiting. This disruption was only trumped by the show's lack of structure. Mike narrated the fiasco: "He was so fly by the seat of his pants…it was awful."This narrative underscores the necessity for event organizers, especially in a city famed for its entertainment, to ensure polished, organized, and engaging live performances. For a performer like Jeff, whose show had initially garnered interest, the failure to deliver a coherent act could affect future ticket sales and popularity. Ensuring a balanced preparation with room for spontaneity might provide a more worthwhile experience for attendees.Navigating Relationship Dynamics Amidst Unplanned AdventuresAmid these less-than-ideal encounters, Mike and Torya exemplify how strong relationships can transform potential fiascos into memorable moments. Their shared humor in chaos is evident: "That makes me laugh so hard because I remember it like it was yesterday," Mike fondly recalled amidst the unexpected twists of their night out.Their mutual understanding is further emphasized in how they refrained from directing blame, with Torya stating, "There's nothing to get snippy about," and Mike appreciating her calm demeanor, asserting, "You were not snippy about any of it." This highlights the foundation of friendship and mutual respect, which Harvard researchers might advocate as vital in long-term relationships.For readers, this underscores the broader significance of companionship and humor. Life is unpredictable, and often plans fall apart. But when experiences are shared with a supportive partner, even the most chaotic nights can strengthen bonds and generate cherished stories.The Million-Dollar Show and the Las Vegas ExperienceNavigating the rich tapestry of options in Las Vegas, from elusive culinary delights to unpredictable live performances, is a testament to the city's charisma and chaos. As evidenced by Mike and Torya's adventures, there's an art to balancing expectation with reality. Their day encapsulates the unpredictability of life—nights that bring more questions than answers, where culinary quests turn complex and comedy skews tragic. Ultimately, shared laughter in these imperfect moments captures what makes any venture memorable.Such "series of unfortunate events," defined less by their outcomes than by their stories, make Las Vegas not merely a destination, but an ongoing saga—a place constantly teaching its visitors to expect the unexpected.ere's an art to balancing expectation with reality.

When Hee Haw first debuted in 1969 many saw it as a cornpone knockoff of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In and while the show did indeed trade in cornpone comedy it also carved out it's own niche, running in syndication until 1993. Hosted by country music Hall of Famers Buck Owens and Roy Clark, the show mixed regular features with bits involving special guests -- usually another top country musician. For much of urban America Hee Haw served as a gateway to country music and the show retains a devoted following through DVD releases and streaming. As always, find extra cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Hee Haw? Hosts Buck Owens and Roy Clark were spotlighted in Pickin' and Grinnin' which saw groaner jokes alternate with blazing guitar and banjo licks. https://youtu.be/2m7FifTu39I?si=mBcHZrEqinUtV4K6 Hee Haw drew the best in country comedy -- and in this case the country is Canada. Don Harron reprised his popular Charlie Farquharson character from Canadian television -- bringing you all the updates from Radio KORN.https://youtu.be/8XiOJQIEDC4?si=0TCNIjXDAQkNy0f5 One of Hee Haw's recurring bits was The Cornfield -- an homage to Laugh-In's Joke Wall. Performers would pop up alone or in small jokes and deliver a rim-shot worthy joke. https://youtu.be/pQH6Py7YmYI?si=bDVMehmKH8VDs-Il&t=419

Since its inception in 2002, the Rochester International Jazz Festival has always been, as its name states, international. Performers from Canada, Europe and elsewhere regularly make the trek to play at 18 different venues around town for audiences that can total 200,000. But 2025 feels different, backdropped by the Trump administration's trade war with Canada and rising fears about border crossings and detainments. Musicians also say the cost of securing work permits in the United States has increased dramatically in recent years. Is it still worth it? And what's it like for local jazz players, whose gigs don't require the same logistical red tape? This year's festival is already in full swing and runs through June 28.

Performance begins to be valued more than one's presence. People become things.  To be an example to others, the true self is isolated. Secrets sap one's passion and purpose.    These pitfalls can destroy careers, friendships, reputations, marriages and families—unless one is freed from them.    Pitfall #2: Performance Begins to be Valued More than One's Presence: When a leader's primary personal value is associated with performance, they become someone they are not—"human doings.”    To be present means to be able to present the truth of our inner selves as human beings to others.  Presence is the ability to speak the feelings, needs, desire, longings, and hopes of one's own heart.    People who are actively present can be “in need” and be led.    Performers develop contempt for their neediness. They also eventually develop secret contempt and fear towards the needs of others because they see others as the ones who demand that they perform.    The “ease” of being one's true self is lost in the “dis-ease” or stress of believing that one is only valuable for their performance.   People who are performers can be driven by anxiety A leader who believes that their performance matters more than their personal presence is actually driven by anxiety, more than they are compelled by inspiration or mission/calling.   These performers: compete and compare, more than they are called and compelled tragically believe that they are only measured by their last mistake, or the mistakes they haven't made yet have pride and arrogance, rooted in toxic shame, can drive the leader away from being in need   A leader is expected to be effective and productive  A leader is expected to perform and meet the needs of those they are on mission to help, which is good. However, every leader needs a place to go where they can honestly share their own needs, without toxic shame, and where others can do the same.    Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.
