LEXINGTON, Ky. (November 7, 2025) – Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among young people in Kentucky, but University of Kentucky faculty and students are working to change that through a simple, yet powerful idea: communication saves lives. Sarah Geegan, assistant professor in the Department of Integrated Strategic Communication, and C.C. Rhein, a junior ISC major and Gaines Fellow, are leading outreach and education efforts promoting QPR — Question, Persuade, Refer — a national training program that teaches anyone how to recognize warning signs, ask difficult questions, and connect people in crisis to help.  Through a partnership with UK HealthCare, the QPR training is now available free of charge to all Kentuckians at UKHealthCare.com/QPR. The 30-minute online session provides practical tools that can prepare anyone to offer hope and immediate support to someone in need. On this episode of "Behind the Blue", Geegan and Rhein discuss how QPR works, why breaking stigma around mental health is essential, and how compassion and awareness can create a ripple effect of hope. Geegan reflects on her own experiences and research in suicide prevention communication, while Rhein shares how she has used her QPR training to help peers in real-life situations. Together, they highlight how every Kentuckian — student, staff, or neighbor — can be part of a lifesaving safety net. "Behind the Blue" is available via a variety of podcast providers, including iTunes and Spotify. Become a subscriber to receive new episodes of "Behind the Blue" each week. UK's latest medical breakthroughs, research, artists and writers will be featured, along with the most important news impacting the university. "Behind the Blue" is a joint production of the University of Kentucky and UK HealthCare. Transcripts for most episodes are now embedded in the audio file and can be accessed in many podcast apps during playback. Transcripts for older episodes remain available on the show's blog page.  To discover how the University of Kentucky is advancing our Commonwealth, click here.

AI has changed how B2B marketers work — and how they connect.In this episode, Dr. Amy Cook, Co-Founder and CMO at Fullcast, joins Michael to explore what happens when automation starts replacing authenticity, and how today's most effective marketers are rebuilding the human side of their craft.Her framework is simple: use AI for knowledge. Leave relationships to humans.Amy brings an unusual perspective to this conversation. She has a PhD in organizational rhetoric (how companies actually persuade people), ran her own agency for 15 years, and spent her early career as a professional violinist performing with the Osmond family. That last credential matters: she learned on stage that audiences always know when something feels rehearsed instead of real.That's exactly what's happening in B2B marketing right now.Join us, as we explore where AI actually makes marketers better versus where it destroys the trust that drives revenue. You'll get frameworks you can apply immediately, data from Fullcast's State of RevOps 2025 research, and the expensive lessons that come from getting this balance wrong.What we cover

This week on Critical Arcade, Nick and Dave blast off to the outer reaches of the galaxy and dive headlong into The Outer Worlds 2 — Obsidian's long-awaited sequel that promises more satire, more chaos, and even more morally confusing decisions than before. Gone are the familiar worlds of Halcyon; this time, the duo find themselves in a brand-new star system, filled with fresh corporate colonies, sketchy science experiments, and alien ecosystems that probably violate several intergalactic safety codes.After awakening from cryosleep (again), the boys are thrown into a sprawling narrative where humanity's endless ambition for profit has colonized not just the stars, but morality itself. Nick and Dave must navigate the murky politics of megacorporations that sell salvation in subscription bundles, self-aware marketing AIs that think they're philosophers, and planetary settlers who are just trying to survive between paychecks. As always, they'll have to make tough calls — save a colony or sell it to the highest bidder? Cure the plague or monetize it? Be a hero, a villain, or just really good at lying about both?With every dialogue choice and every overpowered plasma rifle, Nick and Dave will shape the fate of an entire system teetering on the brink of collapse — assuming they can survive its wildlife first. From carnivorous moonslugs to genetically modified chickens with anger issues, danger lurks around every asteroid. Between exploration, firefights, and corporate propaganda jingles that feel uncomfortably catchy, our intrepid hosts will have to decide who to trust in a universe where everyone's got a brand to protect.Will Nick finally build a character who doesn't immediately dump all their skill points into “Persuade”? Will Dave stop looting everything long enough to follow the main quest? And how many hours will they spend debating whether to side with the rebels, the corporations, or whoever's offering free snacks this time?Tune in as they journey through the satirical, neon-lit chaos of The Outer Worlds 2, where every choice matters, every planet hides a secret, and every ad reminds you that “profit is the path to progress.” In space, no one can hear you scream — but they can absolutely bill you for it.

Persuasion expert Michelle Bowden, whose episode 83 on the Fitness Business Podcast ranks in the all-time top 20, is back to break down the science of influence and how to connect with every prospect and member. If you want to boost sales, retention, and team member engagement without resorting to manipulative tactics or "buyer's remorse," this episode is a must-listen. Michelle explains the difference between influence and authentic persuasion, introduces her four persuasion types, and gives practical, 1% tips you can implement today to become a stronger communicator and get more of what you want in life. Key highlights from the episode: - Persuasion vs. Influence and the Four Types: Michelle advocates for persuasion as the assertive approach to achieve lasting change, contrasting it with coercive influence which often leads to "buyer's remorse". Her system identifies four persuasion types—Wise Owl, Commanding Eagle, Friendly Brolga, and Captivating Peacock—to help tailor communication to the specific stakeholder. - Managing Objections with P.O.O.: Use the five-step "Pacing Out Objections" (POO) technique to handle common sales resistance. A crucial step is to stop using "but" and "however," which trigger a fight/flight response, and instead use joining words like "and" or "so" to bridge your argument. - The Power of Commitment and Position: To sell professionally without being pushy, leverage the Law of Commitment and Consistency by having the customer articulate and commit to their own goals, such as by completing their own goals form. For better listening, adopt Second or Third Position (focusing on their needs or an elevated view) rather than the self-indulgent First Position.   Curious about the future host of Fitness Business Podcast?

Logic rarely wins people over — emotion does.   In this episode, Brett breaks down the timeless principles of persuasion through the lens of a real NIL recruiting scenario, showing why even great offers fall flat when they don't connect to what truly drives human decision-making.   You'll learn how to see through the surface — beyond talking points, incentives, or facts — and understand the emotional and psychological levers that make people say “yes.”    Whether you're trying to recruit an athlete, land a client, lead a team, or communicate more effectively in everyday life, this episode helps you navigate the human side of influence ethically and with purpose.   ⸻   What You'll Learn   •Why people make emotional decisions first and use logic only to justify them.   •The psychological laws that govern real-world persuasion.   •How to identify the intangibles — what people actually care about beneath the surface (certainty, familiarity, belonging, recognition, identity).   •Why people choose what feels safe over what's superior.   •How to reduce uncertainty and create emotional clarity in any decision-making environment.   •The difference between ethical influence and manipulation — and how to guide choices responsibly.   •How to find “the missing variable” in your pitch, presentation, or recruiting approach.   If you found this helpful, check out:   •The Apprenticeship – our live workshop on communication and influence.   •Speaker School – for anyone who wants to present and persuade more effectively.   •Join our community at ArtofCoaching.com/community for bonus materials and episode breakdowns.  

Unlock Your Inner Persuasion Superpower: Your Personal Power Effective persuaders recognize and apply various forms of power. However, for many, the term "power" evokes discomfort. Is it an appropriate topic for discussion? Does it carry positive or negative connotations? Can it be exercised ethically over an audience? This depends on the type of power, its application, and the intent behind it. Individuals inherently possess different forms of power in every situation. It is a fundamental aspect of human behavior to acknowledge and align with authority and expertise.  When an audience perceives your power as trustworthy, it significantly enhances your ability to influence behavior. Want to know all the forms of personal power?  Discover that you are not powerless, but have personal power you can leverage in every persuasion encounter.  Increase your power and increase your influence.

Acts 18:1-23 After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them, 3 and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks. 5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. 6 And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” 7 And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. 9 And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” 11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal, 13 saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.” 14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint. 15 But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.” 16 And he drove them from the tribunal.17 And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this. 18 After this, Paul stayed many days longer and then took leave of the brothers and set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchreae he had cut his hair, for he was under a vow. 19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined. 21 But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus. 22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch. 23 After spending some time there, he departed and went from one place to the next through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.   Key Words: Reason, Persuade, Testify, Believe, Teach, Word, Vow, Strengthen Keystone Verse: And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” (Acts 18:9-10)   Download Bulletin

Alice reminds us that hope is not just a feeling — it's a daily choice and an act of resistance.

Send us a textActs 26:24-32And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.” But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words. For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak boldly. For I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this has not been done in a corner. King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?” And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am—except for these chains.”Then the king rose, and the governor and Bernice and those who were sitting with them. And when they had withdrawn, they said to one another, “This man is doing nothing to deserve death or imprisonment.” And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”Support the show

Michael Rosen talks to criminal defence barrister Joanna Hardy-Susskind about the legal language of Crown Court cases in England and Wales. From the grandeur of the courtroom and stock phrases like "with respect to my learned friend" to the more colloquial directness of talking to a defendant. How do barristers build persuasive arguments when talking to a jury, or when discussing legal matters with the judge? Do weak arguments hide behind elaborate language? Do the best barristers use more stripped back language? And how do they deliver their words? The tone, the pace, the performance.
