In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan takes the reins, diving deep into strategies for client communication, drip campaigns, frameworks for business growth, and timeless investing wisdom inspired by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. With Rode Dog traveling, Karl delivers practical advice for coaches and their clients—from executing high-impact email sequences to structuring offers that sell and building true wealth through the power of compounding. Key Topics Covered Drip Campaigns & Funnels that Convert Karl Bryan breaks down the anatomy of effective drip campaigns—using not just email, but texts, voicemails, calls, and even direct mail—to stay top of mind and drive prospects towards action. He emphasizes nurturing, education, and persistence over hard selling, revealing real-world examples of campaigns that generated over a million dollars in revenue. Building High-End Programs and Upsell Funnels Karl encourages coaches to help clients create tightly defined, high-ticket programs ($10k, $25k, $50k+) with robust profit margins. He explains the importance of segmenting audiences and tailoring drip sequences, stressing that coaches should study successful operators in competitive markets to shortcut their own learning. The Psychology of Offers Discussion includes using urgency, scarcity, guarantees, bonuses, and exclusivity to motivate buyers—drawing on real-world tactics from luxury brands and industry leaders. Investing Wisdom from Warren Buffett & Charlie Munger Karl unpacks Buffett's two rules—don't lose money; see Rule #1—and shares how the path to true wealth is rooted in patience, clear math, and avoiding movement for movement's sake. He links these principles to business coaching, stressing the power of compounding marginal gains in practice, career, and investment. Actionable Wealth Creation Strategies Explores practical frameworks for investing in business, stocks (S&P index), and real estate, emphasizing dollar cost averaging, critical thinking, and learning from bubbles/past mistakes. Notable Quotes "Performance improves by releasing tension, judgment, and overthinking—not by piling it on." "Educated people buy more. Educate your leads through that sequence of emails, texts, calls, voicemails, etc. It's not buy, buy, it's educate, educate, educate." "Persistence is a measure of your self-esteem. Do you persist? Do you feel like you deserve the business?" "Rule #1: Don't lose money. Rule #2: See Rule #1. Avoiding stupidity automatically places you in the top 1% because the rest of the crowd is too busy chasing brilliance." "Real wealth is built the old boring way, staying the course, math as the foundation." Actionable Takeaways Expand Your Drip Campaigns Beyond Email: Utilize a sequence of texts, voicemails, calls, and direct mail in addition to emails to maximize client engagement. Educate Relentlessly: Focus on teaching and adding value through every touchpoint. Selling comes after trust and knowledge are built. Create Tightly Defined High-End Offers: Help clients establish premium programs with clear outcomes and strong margins; research top players in competitive markets for proven frameworks. Test, Measure, and Refine: Track the performance of campaigns and offers, adjust based on data rather than gut feelings, and always aim for compounding marginal improvements. Motivate Action With Urgency & Scarcity: Build "windows of opportunity," enrollment periods, and limited-time bonuses to prompt decisions. Lead with Guarantees and Exclusivity: Structure guarantees (money-back, buyback, long-term, double-your-money-back) and consider exclusive tiers or bonuses to differentiate. Avoid Movement for Movement's Sake: Apply Buffett and Munger's principles: patience, compounding, and critical thinking beats frequent switching and chasing trends. Invest with Dollar Cost Averaging: For wealth outside business, consistently invest fixed amounts into the S&P index or bitcoin, regardless of market cycles, and avoid leverage. Segment Your Audience: Tailor messaging and offers based on client behaviors and demographics for better results. Prioritize Compounding Improvements: Focus on small gains across multiple areas—these add up exponentially in your business and wealth over time.

Historically Thinking: Conversations about historical knowledge and how we achieve it
For at least two centuries, ideas of international relations and grand strategy have been premised on the notion of “great powers.” These were mighty states uniquely able to exert their influence through overwhelming military force. In the words of friend of the podcast Leopold von Ranke, a great power was one who could “maintain itself against all others, even when they are united”—but my guest, Phillips Payson O'Brien, argues that this definition is ahistorical nonsense.Indeed “great power” he says, has always been a tautology. Nor has it been helpful or accurate to focus who has the biggest armies. And dreaming of decisive battle has blinded us to what truly determines victory: the capacity to mobilize and sustain industrial power, logistics, technology, and global reach.In his new book War and Power: Who Wins Wars and Why, O'Brien dismantles some popular myths of military and diplomatic history and replaces them with a far more dynamic picture—one that redefines how states fight, how they win, and how we should understand power itself in the twenty-first century.For this episode's show notes, and other resources, go to the Historically Thinking SubstackChapters & Timestamps00:28 – Introduction: Challenging the Great Power Myth03:25 – The Persistence of Short War Myths08:22 – The Political Nature of Warfare14:06 – Power Rightly Understood: Economic and Technological Strength20:59 – Society, Structure, and the British-American Power Transition27:36 – Constructing and Regenerating Military Forces46:16 – The Importance of Strong Alliances39:23 – Understanding War: Beyond Battles and Single Weapons45:16 – Human Elements: Leadership, Training, and Morale49:54 – Technological Adaptation: From WWI Aircraft to Modern Drones57:30 – Applied History and the Problem of Transparency57:52 – Outro / Credits

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt misjudged, underestimated, or boxed into a version of themselves that didn't feel true.If you're in a season of redefining yourself, this conversation reminds you that growth is rarely clean — but always worth it.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with journalist-turned-novelist and writing coach John DeDakis about how writing can support emotional healing. From journaling through grief to shaping lived experience into fiction, John shares practical ways to face fear, access the subconscious, and build momentum one sentence at a time. We cover: using daily journals to process emotion, the discipline journalism teaches storytellers, moving toward pain rather than numbing it, and a simple ten-minute “I feel…” prompt to safely begin. If you're coping with loss or struggling to start your book, this conversation is a direct, grounded roadmap to begin today. About the guest : John DeDakis is an award-winning novelist, longtime journalist, and writing coach. Across a 45-year journalism career—including 25 years at CNN—he reported, edited, and taught storytelling. His mystery/thrillers draw from real life while helping readers and writers navigate grief, meaning, and craft. Key takeaways: Start where you are: a daily journal creates structure to witness emotions, spot patterns, and steady yourself without pressure to publish. Use the “I feel…” sprint: write continuously for ten minutes beginning with “I feel…”. Do not edit. This bypasses perfectionism and surfaces what needs attention. Move toward the pain: clarity grows by facing fear (of judgment, failure, imperfection) rather than anesthetizing it; action builds confidence. Craft follows honesty: first drafts can be messy; revision is where journalism's clarity and concision strengthen the story. Interview your characters: ask, “Who are you and why do you want to be in my book?” to dip into the subconscious and unlock voice, motive, and plot. Persistence is psychological fitness: patience through rejections and rewrites develops both craft and self-awareness. Grief is broader than death: losses of health, work, relationships, or innocence also deserve space on the page. Measure progress in steps, not miles: like a difficult hike, look back often to see how far you've come; momentum is built one page at a time.

In this interview, Lena Sadovski talks about her current research into the community of New Christian merchants trading between Apulia in southern Italy, and Spalato, modern day Split, in Dalmatia in the 15th and 16th century.Lena explains who the New Christians were, and why they moved between Apulia and Spalato. She shows how, and why this route of international trade was so important for Spalato and their colonial over-lords, the Venetians, and the types of goods moving in both directions. This trade also highlights the importance of family connections within and between the communities of New Christians in both Apulia and Spalato. And despite the New Christians having converted from the Jewish faith to Christianity several centuries earlier, Lena shows that the memory of their religious alterity could be weaponized by their opponents in moments of conflicts, underlining the persistence of Jewish ‘otherness' despite decades of successful integration into the Dalmatian society.Photo credit - Državni Arhiv u Zadru, 16: 59/66.7-IV, fol. 188r.This podcast is part of a series of interviews covering central Europe in the medieval period for MECERN and CEU Department of Historical Studies.
Persistence that Transforms
Joint Sword 2024: China's Anaconda Strategy Against Taiwan and Washington's Persistence in Failed Engagement. Captain James Fanell and Bradley Thayer assert that America must urgently reverse its strategic errors regarding China. Fanell notes that China is currently demonstrating aggression toward Taiwan, announcing two days of "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises conducted very close to Taiwan, inside the contiguous zone. China is using the recent inauguration speech of Taiwan's new President Lai as the casus belli, claiming his equating Taiwan and China as two separate nations constitutes a move toward independence. Fanell expects the operation to include ballistic missiles fired into closure areas, with China practicing targeting key areas, blockading, and isolating Taiwan. The PRC is employing an "Anaconda strategy," increasing pressure and suffocating Taiwan. Bradley Thayer assesses Washington's response, stating that fundamentally, little has changed despite some rhetorical and policy shifts, as the Biden administration remains influenced by the "engagement school." Thayer attributes the persistence of this flawed framework to the PRC's strategy of "elite capture," spanning Wall Street, the Chamber of Commerce, think tanks, K Street law firms, and Congress.
In today's service, PMTO reminds the church that we are in a kairos moment—a spiritually sensitive window where we must not be casual. Many are sensing an inner push for “more”; that pressure is not frustration, but God signaling that something must be birthed. The instruction of the Spirit is clear: push through it in prayer.She explains that God often shows the promise clearly, but the process feels unclear and slow. When it looks like delay, we are not to withdraw or get passive, we are to pray prevailing prayers like Elijah and stay on our watchpost like Habakkuk. Persistence is the demand of the season. It is not enough to be consistent; we must refuse to be moved by difficulties, emotions, or timing.PMTO also teaches that discouragement is designed to isolate and distract, but worship brings alignment and strength. We are urged to hold on to God's Word, stay connected to the community, and refuse to sleep spiritually. This is a time to stretch spiritually, to insist on the promise, and to birth what has been conceived in the spirit.Her charge is simple and strong: Stand. Pray. Persist. Push—until something shifts.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious. Led by Pst.

In a church context that held great potential for apostasy, Timothy faced the task of leading through the example of his lifestyle and work. Faithful ministry, Paul explained to him, flows from godly character—speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity—and from wholehearted devotion to Scripture, exhortation, and teaching. Alistair Begg considers Paul's guidance to Timothy, which can help today's pastors, too, as they seek to watch themselves and their doctrine closely and see themselves and their hearers saved. Bible passages: 1 Timothy 4:11-16

With over 20 years in the business and millions of listeners worldwide, Jim shares how a lifelong fascination with the unexplained became one of the most successful independent podcasting careers in history. Together, they explore what it means to believe, the power of storytelling, and why people from every corner of the world are still drawn to share their mysterious, unexplainable experiences.From ghosts and cryptids to UFOs and the mysteries of consciousness itself, this conversation goes far beyond the paranormal. Jim opens up about the lessons learned from two decades behind the mic, the evolving podcasting industry, and his belief that “the universe is not only stranger than we understand — it's stranger than we can understand.” A powerful, reflective, and fittingly eerie episode that reminds us curiosity is what keeps the human spirit alive.Key Takeaways:1. Belief doesn't require proof, and you can respect skepticism while still leaving room for mystery and wonder.2. The power of storytelling connects us across generations, cultures, and beliefs more deeply than facts ever could.3. Authenticity builds longevity; being real and consistent is what sustains a creative career.4. Curiosity fuels creativity and keeps your content fresh and engaging.5. Respect your guests' truth; empathy creates more meaningful conversations than confrontation.6. Persistence beats perfection, and consistency over time creates lasting success.7. Follow your fascination because what genuinely interests you often becomes your greatest work.8. Podcasting is about community, not celebrity; shared stories build loyalty and impact.9. The unknown keeps us humble and open to growth by reminding us how little we truly know.10. Legacy is built through consistency, showing up again and again until your work speaks for itself.If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.

Why sales persistence strategy matters In this episode, I share how a playful “ask again” turned a tax-time crunch into wins—fast. The sales persistence strategy isn't about pushing. It's about presence. I simply called people back and asked if they'd changed their mind. Many had—once the pressure dropped.

Life is full of moments that leave us feeling stuck, broken, or overwhelmed by the impossible. Whether it's a health crisis, a fractured relationship, financial stress, or the weight of our own failures, we all encounter situations that seem beyond hope. Yet, in the midst of these impossibilities, Jesus stands as the one who not only sees our pain but has the power to heal and restore in ways we can't imagine. The story in Luke 5 of the paralyzed man and his friends reminds us that Jesus is not just a remarkable teacher or miracle worker—He is utterly unique, the only one with authority to forgive sins and transform lives from the inside out. When the paralyzed man's friends couldn't get through the crowd, they tore open the roof to bring him to Jesus. Their determination is a picture of the kind of faith that refuses to let obstacles keep us from the only one who can truly help. But notice that Jesus doesn't start by healing the man's legs; He begins with the heart, declaring, “Your sins are forgiven.” This reveals a profound truth: our deepest need isn't just for our circumstances to change, but for our hearts to be made whole. Sin is not just a list of bad choices—it's a condition that affects every part of us, separating us from God and distorting our motives, thoughts, and actions. No amount of good works or self-improvement can bridge the gap between us and a holy God. The standard isn't just being better than others; it's perfection, and none of us can reach it on our own. That's why Jesus came—not to give us a list of steps to climb up to God, but to come down to us, to take our place, and to offer forgiveness and new life as a gift.

A locked museum. Five eccentric art teachers. One missing Salvador Dalí masterpiece. In this special fiction-meets-art-history podcast, you'll step into the MoMA after hours, where a professional development retreat turns into something much more sinister. What begins as an inspiring evening quickly spirals into chaos when Dalí's The Persistence of Memory disappears. Each teacher has their quirks, secrets, and possible motives: Delilah Rose – the bubbly Ms. Frizzle of the art room, all glitter glue and good intentions… but is she too innocent? Solomon Ochre – the arrogant competitor, desperate to showcase his talent and prove his importance. Amber Russell – indifferent, sarcastic, observant, and maybe secretly brilliant. Madison Periwinkle – the "artfluencer", livestreaming for clout and sharing her entire teaching experience. Robert Celadon – the old school purist, obsessed with tradition, forgery, and art history. When the painting vanishes, suspicion falls on them all. With quirky detectives, unreliable security, and tangled motives, this is more than a PD event—it's a full-blown art heist mystery. Listen now to experience a story blending art history, teaching art, and true-crime-style suspense. Can you solve the mystery before the detectives do?
