Sunday, November 17, 2024 – The title of today’s message is “The Day of the Lord Comes as a Thief.” This phrase is taken directly from 2 Peter 3:10. Our discussion focuses on what the “Day of the Lord” signifies and why it is described as “coming as a thief.” We will explore various prophetic Scriptures that help us understand the events and timing related to Peter’s statements. The most important takeaway for true believers and disciples of Jesus is this simple truth: there is no fear, dread, or anxiety in everything that prophecy reveals. As beloved children of God, we are prepared for what lies ahead. In contrast, the carnal Christian or the unbeliever has nothing but fear and dread to anticipate. The “Day of the Lord” brings both judgment and blessings. Although this encompasses an extended time period, it begins suddenly and unexpectedly—like a thief in the night. For followers of Jesus, Scripture provides abundant information that indicates this is a season of joyful expectation, not fear. Join us in worship and study as we delve deeper into these truths.

In 1991, it was another bold step forward for Kylie Minogue, and in the decades since, "What Do I Have To Do" has cemented its place among fans' all-time favourites from her extensive back catalogue. But the third single from Rhythm Of Love didn't come together easily, with a lengthy period of time spent mixing the club-influenced track — and remixing it. Songwriters and producers Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, mixers Phil Harding and Ian Curnow, and engineer Peter Day all join us to discuss the evolution of the song and the inspirations and thought processes behind the different versions. Backing vocalists Miriam Stockley and Mae McKenna also return to the podcast to reveal how Kylie threw the rulebook out the window when it came to recording the BVs for "What Do I Have To Do".

After the big creative risk that was previous single and video "Better The Devil You Know", Kylie Minogue and Stock Aitken Waterman went for something more playful with follow-up "Step Back In Time". With its fun lyrical nod to '70s disco music and a video dripping in retro style, the song was pure pop joy — and another big hit at a time when the Hit Factory sorely needed one. Mike Stock and Matt Aitken recall pulling the lyrics together for the nostalgic tune, while Phil Harding and Ian Curnow provide insight into the mixing stage, which was a crucial part of the process in delivering a single that satisfied Kylie's desire to be relevant in clubs. Phil and Ian also discuss the track they wrote with Kylie in 1990, "I Am The One For You", as part of PWL's efforts to accommodate her eagerness to develop her songwriting skills. Over in the US, Kylie also wrote with Michael Jay, who returns to the podcast to talk about Rhythm Of Love track "The World Still Turns", while former PWL engineer Peter Day also shares memories of working on the album, in particular the track "Always Find The Time". And on the visual side of things, Nick Egan details how he came to work with Kylie on both the "Step Back In Time" video and the cover for Rhythm Of Love.

When they came to work with Stock Aitken Waterman, pop act Yell! had one top 10 hit under their belt already — a remake of Dan Hartman's "Instant Replay". Signed to Simon Cowell's Fanfare label, the duo comprised of Daniel James and Paul Varney recorded their follow-up, "One Thing Leads To Another", with SAW, but it was not the success anyone hoped it would be, despite being a fresh new sound from the Hit Factory and the guys both being talented singers. Paul joins us to discuss his start in the entertainment industry and Yell!'s short-lived career, while we explore the external factors that impacted their success, including record company wrangling and negative press that took a particularly cruel tone. As it would turn out, not even Jason Donovan was able to live up to his previous successes in mid-1990 as his latest single, "Another Night", became his first to miss the top 10. Jason talks about the reaction to that chart shock and why going out on the road later in the year would prove essential to his longevity. Mike Stock, Matt Aitken, Peter Day and David Howells also share their thoughts on the Between The Lines era of Jason's career.

Her time at PWL might not have yielded any hits, but the short-lived pop career of Japanese singer Kakko is the stuff of legend. We take a deep dive into the story behind her debut single, "We Should Be Dancing”, hearing from PWL's David Howells and Nicki L'Amy Brée about how the aspiring performer learnt the ropes at the label before being sent into the studio with both Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, and Phil Harding and Ian Curnow, all of whom also recall the project. After an aborted first attempt with a song called "Stop The Clock”, Stock and Aitken settled on “We Should Be Dancing”, which is one of the most polarising SAW singles of all time. While Kakko didn't trouble the UK chart, the latest releases from Big Fun, Sonia and Pat & Mick kept the Hit Factory in the top 40, although not always at positions the artists had become accustomed to. As musical trends changed dramatically in 1990, we hear from engineer Peter Day about SAW's latest trick to keep their tracks club-friendly: the ubiquitous “woo! yeah!” sample, which featured on both Big Fun's “Handful Of Promises” and “Counting Every Minute” by Sonia. Pat Sharp and Mick Brown also join us again to reflect on the unexpected achievements of their remake of “Use It Up And Wear It Out”.Subscribe for bonus material at chartbeats.com.au/sawTwitter: @ChartBeatsAU, @MrMattDenbyInstagram: @chartbeatsauFacebook: Chart Beats: A Journey Through PopEmail: chartbeats.au@gmail.com

“Maybe if my son had been more organized, we wouldn't be here today,” says Peter Bencivenga, who was a passionate teacher in the New York City public school system for 16 years, when he decided to take the leap into the EdTech space in 2008. He now serves as President of Operoo, which helps schools and other organizations achieve operational efficiency with their administrative communication forms. After seeing how many paper forms were getting lost at the bottom of his son's backpack, resulting in missed appointments and deadlines, he was shocked to find that schools were still using paper for their internal and external communications. Not only did this waste time, it left data inactionable, and sensitive information, such as teachers' direct deposits and students' orders of protection, too vulnerable. The only solution at the time, was to simply convert the paper to PDF, ignoring all of the rich data contained within them. Recognizing this problem, Peter, combining his knowledge of the education system with his passion for coding. He found a company in Australia called Care Monkey, which was doing with medical forms what he wanted to do in the education space. He expanded it to become what is now Operoo. Tune into this episode of Billion Dollar Tech, to find out the three most important components of a go-to-market strategy, what Peter looks for when entering into an acquisition, and the best way to develop and execute your exit strategy. Quotes: “I think a lot of people sometimes shy away from entrepreneurship later in their career. They're more secure and so forth, but I actually think that's where a lot of the big winners come from, Because you actually know the industry, you know the people, and you know what the problems far more intimately than you can looking from the outside in.” (3:52-4:11 | Brendan) “If we fail, life is not over. You leave a lot of security behind, but that's an entrepreneur. It's not secure. You're the risk taker. You're the ones that are actually building great, passionate businesses.” (6:57-7:10 | Peter) “Am I saving them time, am I saving them money, or am I improving outcomes? Those are the three things at EdTech, you could really build any product on.” (17:22-17:30 | Peter) “Day one is the passion, right? You really want to solve a problem. If all of a sudden you're solving a problem and thinking about an exit, you're not passionate.” (37:46-37:54 | Peter) “Build a great product that solves a pain point, and make sure you can explain it to a ten-year-old (40:29-40:35 | Peter) “You have to show, ‘Here is where you're currently at, but let me show you the future. And wait–here's where you're currently at, but let me show you the future.' So, you have to show that side by side.” (58:20-58-31) Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandellTikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926 Connect with Peter Bencivenga:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-bencivenga-5499a02?trk=public_post_share-update_actor-text Twitter: @PeterBencivengahttps://www.operoo.com/ Watch Peter's recommended talk, The Secret Structure of Great Talks by Nancy Duarte: https://www.ted.com/talks/nancy_duarte_the_secret_structure_of_great_talks?language=en Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Billion Dollar Tech on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

Storytelling and writing. In this edition Gabriel Gatehouse is in Sicily which suffered waves of emigration in the 20th century. Today it's having to get used to being a centre of immigration with the arrival of thousands of mainly African migrants; Orla Guerin's in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. The jihadists of Islamic State are only 70-miles away now, but residents seem more concerned about the renewed wave of sectarian killings than about the advance of IS; Mark Stratton's in Micronesia. Some of the islands there, with their immaculate beaches and swaying palms, seem like paradise. Yet people are leaving. Why? Peter Day looks back at the frenzied casino which was the trading floor at the Chicago Board of Trade. With computers now having taken over much of the business, its doors will soon close for the final time. And Tom Holland's in a town in Canada which boasts a replica of Jerusalem in the time of Jesus and where there are plans to fill a ravine with dinosaurs.
