Sam and Al discuss life in recovery. Step 11 Readings from “Opening Doors Within” by Eileen Caddy and Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book. #12steps #recovery #addiction #AA #CA.
In this episode, Allison is continuing the 7 Buyer Types Series with one of the most common buyer types sitting on your email list right now, the Skeptical Buyer. This person isn't difficult or impossible to sell to, they've just been burned before, and they're reading your emails with a little side-eye.In this episode, you'll learn why your biggest, flashiest client wins might actually make skeptical buyers trust you less, and what to share instead. Allison breaks down how normal, grounded client stories can lower the wall, build belief, and help your next buyer finally think, “Okay… this could actually work for me.”TAKEAWAYSSkeptical buyers are not cynical buyers, they are people who have been disappointed by overhyped promises, under-delivered offers, and vague success stories before.When you lead with your biggest client win too early, a skeptical buyer may write it off as an exception instead of seeing it as proof that your offer can work for them.Grounded, “normal” client stories can be more persuasive because they help your audience see the realistic path from where they are now to what is possible.Your skeptical buyer needs context, transparency, and specificity, not louder claims, more exclamation points, or another shiny screenshot.Instead of simply dropping a testimonial like a receipt, use client stories to connect the dots between the problem, the shift, the strategy, and the result.LINKS YOU MIGHT FIND HELPFUL: Check out the blog post that accompanies this podcast episode for more details and resources.If today's episode made you realize your Email Pitch Sequence needs to help your Skeptical Buyers see themselves in your offer, Pitch Perfect will help you write it (and the 6 other emails for your other 6 buyer types).

In part two of this seven-part buyer type series, Allison is breaking down the Details Buyer — aka the email subscriber who needs more information before they feel safe making a decision. And before you roll your eyes at the idea of writing an FAQ email, this episode will show you why a strategic FAQ email is not just a boring list of questions and answers. You'll learn how to go beyond surface-level logistics and uncover the deeper objections hiding underneath, so your sales emails can create confidence, reduce risk, and help the right buyers say yes.TAKEAWAYSThe Details Buyer isn't trying to be difficult, they're trying to make a smart, informed decision before investing (no matter how big or small of a purchase).More details can create safety for this buyer type, which means your FAQ email has a bigger job than simply answering logistical questions.A strong FAQ email answers the question being asked while also addressing the deeper hesitation or objection underneath it.Surface-level answers give information, but strategic answers reduce risk and help the buyer picture how your offer will actually fit into their life or business.When your Email Pitch Sequence only speaks to one type of buyer, you may be leaving sales on the table, which is why each email should speak to a specific decision-making style.LINKS YOU MIGHT FIND HELPFUL: Check out the blog post that accompanies this podcast episode for more details and resources.If today's episode made you realize your Email Pitch Sequence needs an email that not only answers questions, but also simultaneously debunks objections, Pitch Perfect will help you write it (and the 6 other emails for your other 6 buyer types).

Not every buyer on your email list needs a long, emotional sales journey before they're ready to say yes. Some people have already been paying attention, already trust your point of view, and honestly…they just want the link. In this episode, Allison kicks off a brand-new seven-part series on the different buyer types that exist in your audience, starting with the No Frills Buyer: the person who wants the facts, the next step, and zero unnecessary fluff.TAKEAWAYS:The No Frills Buyer is not careless with their money; they're often already warmed up, already aware of the problem, and ready to take action quickly.This buyer type is highly motivated by time, which means they want to know how fast they can get started, how long the offer is available, and whether it will save them time or create more work.Over-explaining in your sales emails can actually work against you with No Frills Buyers because it makes the buying decision feel harder than it needs to be.No Frills Buyers are usually scanners, so your email needs to make the offer, outcome, timeline, and link incredibly easy to find.A short, direct sales email only works when your nurture content has already done its job, so don't skip the relationship-building that happens before the invitation to buy comes.LINKS YOU MIGHT FIND HELPFUL: Check out the blog post that accompanies this podcast episode for more details and resources.If today's episode made you realize your Email Pitch Sequence needs a clear, direct email for the buyer who's already ready to say yes, Pitch Perfect will help you write it (and the 6 other emails for your other 6 buyer types).

Every time we open the news or social media, it feels like we're just 1 more headline away from Earth combusting into flames. It's hard not to feel that way when we're fire-hosed with atrocity at the top of every hour.I can't help but wonder: is the world actually ending, or are we just chronically overexposed to doom with no alternative vision to reach for?In this solo episode, I explore my own doom-and-gloom mode that sent me into AI psychosis, how I climbed out of the dark hole, and started to realize the power of imagination, relationships, art, creativity, and prioritizing seeking joy.If you've felt hopeless, numb, or paralyzed by fear, I hope this episode stirs something within you to ignite a new future. We need your creative thinking now more than ever.Questions to sit with:What inputs are you going reduce this week or intentionally change? What's something super imaginative and forward thinking and non-apocalyptic that you could start putting out in the world? What brings you joy and how can you top up on it this week?DM me @chelseariffe with your reflections ❤️

Beyond the horror world, Anna reflects on the lasting cultural impact of Pitch Perfect and why Aubrey became such a beloved and quotable character, even among the most unexpected fans. She talks about what makes Aubrey so fun to play, the possibility of a fourth film, and the kind of wild future she imagines for the character. The conversation also turns personal as Anna discusses the importance of human connection in her work, the support of her family, and how her understanding of love has evolved over time.

Clay discusses life after football with three kids and working outdoors, then recounts nearly taking a commercial real estate internship arranged by Kyle before choosing to pursue the NFL. He reflects on being a late bloomer, walking on at USC, struggling with homesickness and thoughts of transferring, and earning his role through special teams before breaking out as an edge rusher. Clay shares Pete Carroll's competition-driven culture, the 2009 draft process and Green Bay trading up to select him, his “welcome to the NFL” moment, what made Packers fandom unique, and key Super Bowl XLV leadership and film-study moments shaped by coach Kevin Greene.

It's one of those weeks where the headlines feel uncomfortably close to home. Between James Van Der Beek's death from colorectal cancer and Eric Dane's ALS diagnosis, it's hard not to think about your own health and mortality. So we brought on our friend Mickey Rapkin — journalist, author, former GQ editor, and yes, the guy who wrote Pitch Perfect before it became a major studio franchise. In August 2025, Mickey's older brother Jon died from brain cancer. We talk about sibling loss (aka the worst club), the sacred inside jokes, the random movie lines that become part of your daily language, and how grief rewires you on a cellular level. We also get into Mickey's Men's Health piece about cancer screenings — the big question of how much do you want to know, what testing can (and can't) do, and why “control is an illusion” is both depressing and… oddly clarifying.

Plus, we discuss whether or not this album crosses a rubicon in terms of unapologetic oversharing, whether or not David Harbour is as famous and powerful as he's portrayed in this album, how this album attempts to come to grips with familial cycles of trauma, how this album will potentially be very influential, whether we will be having a roommate summer, the toxic sequence in Pitch Perfect 3, and more!Co-Hosts: Andrew Ambrose Lee, Dakota West Foss, Harper Thomson, Michael Limentato1:23 Preconceived notions on Lily Allen15:17 Themes31:14 Did Lily Allen go too far?43:09 What is you Tahm Bout46:21 Madeleine56:21 West End Girl59:22 Ruminating1:04:05 Tennis1:07:50 Nonmonagamummy / 4chan stan1:10:46 Relapse1:12:28 Let You W(in) / Fruity Loops1:14:28 Just Enough1:16:34 Stray Observations1:34:16 Final Thoughts & RatingsFollow Harper Thomson on Instagram (@harpingabout)Follow Michael Limentato on Instagram (@limentaco)Follow Andrew Ambrose Lee on Instagram (@andrewambroselee)Follow Stenley Philippe on Instagram (@snapasten)Follow Stefanie Senior on Instagram (@stefmsenior)Cover Art by Megan Rika Young ( Instagram: @meganrika)Theme Song by OTNES (Instagram: @mxotnes)Follow us at (@ibmtltt) on Tiktok & Instagram, and email us at ivebeenmeaningtolistentothat@gmail.comPlease leave us a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Have a good daaay!

As social media seems to descend into a dystopia of tech overlords dominating algorithms, our attention, and our self-esteem, it's worth asking: should we really stay on these platforms... and why???KP Pilley — the social strategist behind the popular "Nine Grid" offer — joins me to talk about taking your power back on social media, building ethical content worlds, and making it stupid-easy for people to hire you without posting 30 Reels a month.Themes from the episode:The Nine Grid: Your Digital Bulletin Board (Not Your Full-Time Job: Instagram's become this weird proof-of-existence thing, but the nine grid lets you treat your profile like a coffee shop bulletin board — nine strategic posts, then peace TF out. You don't need to live there 24/7 to run a successful business.Instagram's Chokehold on Our Worthiness: Let's be honest, Meta is making money off our insecurities. KP and I discuss how to use the platform on your terms and drive people to owned media where Zuck can't deplatform you for posting a caption with the word "sex" in it.Pain Point Marketing Is Dead: That girl boss panic-inducing marketing where you scare people into buying? It attracts nightmare clients who feel buyer's remorse the next morning. Real marketing talks to someone's most regulated self, not their freaked-out swipe-my-credit-card-at-midnight self.Your Editorial Stance Beats Any Algorithm: When you have a clear worldview, content becomes easier because you're not trying to rage-bait —you're just showing up as yourself.Relationship Marketing Isn't Transactional (And That's the Point): Orbit jumping and showing up in people's worlds doesn't always result in immediate sales, and that's okay — sometimes you're just planting seeds or having a good conversation.If you're ready to ditch performative posting and build a presence rooted in your values (not Adam Mosseri's latest metric), connect with KP for more resources — and maybe even a social media presence that finally feels like you.Connect with KP:WebsiteInstagramContent Constellation Waitlist (aka the Supernova is a thinking lab for visionaries building frameworks that transcend algorithms.

What happens when you let philosophy escape the ivory tower and live in your body? Today's guest is Ximena, a Mexican eco-philosopher who ditched academic elitism for something far more dangerous: thinking as a radical act of love.We get into why rationality alone made her chronically ill (yes, really), how capitalism hijacked our concept of time, and why resistance fueled by joy might be the only kind that lasts. If you've tired of activism that depletes rather than sustains, this one's for you. We're philosophizing, asking the bigger questions, and as Ximena so eloquently states: making the intellectual visceral.Key themes:1. The Intellectual Turned VisceralPhilosophy often gets confused with being SUPER cerebral, but it's actually something you FEEL in your entire body. When intellectual work moves through your whole system, that's when transformation actually happens!2. Philosophy for Humans, Not Just PhilosophersAcademia gatekeeps philosophy with intentional jargon, but philosophizing is just having conversations with deep curiosity. It LITERALLY means love of wisdom. You're already a philosopher ;)3. Time, Capitalism, and the Productivity TrapCapitalism hijacked time itself, turning it from cyclical and embodied into linear, scarce, and productive, something to optimize rather than experience. We've internalized this timeline so deeply that rest feels like rebellion, and it's legit killing us.4. Resistance as LoveResistance rooted only in anger mimics the systems it's trying to dismantle, but real sustained resistance grows from love and knowing what you're for. The long revolution happens when we build the spaces we want to see, making resistance an act of imagination and joy rather than just critique.5. The Democratization of Knowledge as Radical ActPhilosophy trapped in universities serves power, but the tools of critical thinking are human capacities, not special skills reserved for people with degrees. Your questions are valid, your thinking is valuable, your philosophizing countssss!Connect with Ximena (and join the next round of ROOTED IMPACT):Substack (Ximena Ximena + Tuhella)InstagramVelvet Philosophy PodcastConnect with Chelsea:
It's time to breakup with watered-down content and instead, ask our people to rise with us.In this episode, I announce the podcast rebrand (finally!), why I'm going all-in on 2-3 episodes per week, and what happens when you delete social apps from your phone for just ONE week. Spoiler: total clarity.I dive deep into why Rosalía's Lux, Sinners, and Heated Rivalry are proof that audiences are STARVING for work that challenges them — and why we need to stop underestimating people's capacity to pay attention.Plus: why "the more we are in the era of dopamine, the more I want the opposite" is my new creative north star, and how I'm building SUPERNOVA as a thinking lab where we synthesize obsessions into worldviews that actually move culture.Snippets from this episode:The podcast rebrand: After 8 years, I'm retiring "In My Non-Expert Opinion" because it was a shield I no longer need. I'm ready to own my voice, go full throttle, and podcast 2-3x/week.Deleting social apps = instant brain space - I took the apps off my phone for one week and the clarity was WILD. Ideas landed, brain fog lifted, and I realized: why am I not treating online platforms like contract jobs instead of letting them scatter my attention 24/7?Rosalía, Sinners, and Heated Rivalry are giving us credit to pay attention - These aren't light, bubblegum experiences. Rosalía dropped an album in 14 languages with the London Symphony Orchestra. Sinners demand you clock in to catch the symbolism. Heated Rivalry became a global phenomenon not because "the guys are hot," but because it shows radical intimacy and vulnerability on screen.We connect through challenge, not just agreement - Rosalía didn't water down Lux for mass appeal; she asked us to rise with her. The most powerful connection happens when artists challenge us to expand our capacity."What is most personal is most universal" - Carl Rogers said it, and Heated Rivalry proves it. We're obsessed because we see ourselves in the yearning, the walls, the avoidance. When you dig into YOUR inner treasure chest and build a captivating world, people will leave their old ones behind to join you.Question of the week: Why do we say "pay attention"? Email me at team@chelseariffe.com or DM me @chelseariffe with your thoughts.This episode is fueled by FOOTNOTES, my newsletter filled with rabbit holes, synthesis, questions and more.Connect with Chelsea:

Get ready for a pitching good chat with "Pitch Perfect's" vocal arranger and music director. The Godfather of a cappella, Deke Sharon, joins Jenna and Kevin with a whole lotta aca-awesome behind-the-scenes scoop from the set of "Pitch Perfect!" Including why he thought the movie was going to be a straight-to-video release, the eye-popping song that didn't make the cut, the muse behind the character of Benji, and who broke down in tears during 'aca-bootcamp!'

One of my besties Shelly and I pick up RIGHT where we left off from last episode. We talk at 1.5x speed, giggle and kick our feet like 14 year olds at a boyband concert, say "like" 4013 times, and get even further into the series that's causing a cultural phenomenon.Some questions explored:What did we think of the absolute QUEENS in the show?Why does this all feel so REAL?What's the deal with situationships?What are the upsides and downsides of fandom, especially one this rabid?How can we use this joy to fuel change?SEE YOU AT THE COTTAGE BABES.Connect with Chelsea:
Folks... we've been indoctrinated. Heated Rivalry brainwashed us. As someone who is EXTREMELY contrarian (Aquarius Sun), hatesss hype, an absolute TV/movie SNOB, and is pretty suss of fandoms… I promise you, the hype is beyond worth it.It's SO worth it, I had to debrief for nearly 3 hours with one of my besties, Shelly, to discuss what kind of glitch in the matrix is happening right now. What drugs were sprinkled in this script? What subliminal messaging did they use? WHAT IS GOING ON???!!!We're happy. Glowing. More pep in our step. This show has absolutely altered our brain chemistry.DISCLAIMER: this is spoiler city. We discuss everything in the show.This is a 2 parter. Buckle up, sooo much more to come in Part 2!Connect with Chelsea:
I'm pulling back the curtain on my 2025 business insights... nosy bitches, this one's for you! I share the ultimate the plot twist: I made almost the exact same money as 2024, while taking a 3-month sabbatical, working essentially part-time, and living like an eccentric writer.I break down my Pitch Perfect launches (including a surprising feeling I had with my first $20K month), why I'm retiring from being "The Podcast Queen," and the creative possession that birthed SUPERNOVA — my new thinking lab for people who want to build intellectual frameworks that shape culture instead of learning more tactical skills. Plus: why I'm choosing restraint as my 2026 word, and why I'm actively exploring capped business models and circular economies instead of scaling into outer space.Themes from the episode:Making the same money while living exponentially better - I generated $143K (basically what I made in 2024), but took almost 3 months off, worked Tuesdays-Thursdays, and traveled to 10+ cities, which honestly feels more successful than any revenue goal ever could.From reactive hot takes to restrained discernment - I'm retiring the knee-jerk cultural commentary and choosing thoughtfulness over Threads wars, because not everything needs my opinion and frankly, discernment is sexy as hell.Why SUPERNOVA exists and why I refuse to be the podcast queen forever - The sabbatical revealed I don't want my legacy to be "she taught people to pitch/podcast," I want it to be "she taught people to build worlds," which required creating a 4-month thinking lab for intellectual frameworks that transcend your current business reputation.Ditching cold pitching for relational EVERYTHING - I stopped teaching extractive tactics and started focusing on nurturing your actual circle, which resulted in my most collaborative Pitch Perfect cohorts and proved that relationships always win over spray-and-pray strategies.Exploring capped income and circular economies because endless growth is a scam - I engaged in 8+ swaps/trades for high-ticket programs, I'm capping SUPERNOVA at 10 people, and I'm actively researching what it means to redistribute resources instead of building a team-run empire I don't even want.My 2026 themes: CREATE. PLAY. PHILOSOPHIZE. EXPLORE. UNEARTH. ASK BIG QUESTIONS. SIMMER. PONDER. WONDER. THINK.What are yours?!Connect with Chelsea:
Grab your tissues and your matcha - we're doing a full 2025 emotional autopsy.Today I'm taking you through my personal year in review: space-cowgirl birthday parties, devastating loss, AI-induced mental glitches, and finally learning how to stop abandoning myself in relationships. This was one of the most plot twist-filled years I've ever had - like WTF happened?!Themes from the episode:The Cape Town summer that was pure lightning in a bottle - and why watching my entire friend group simultaneously couple up while I navigated complex relational issues sent me into an existential spiral about missing invisible boats.Setting the container and having THE scary conversation - how I stopped swallowing feelings to avoid looking "too sensitive," ugly-cried through total honesty, and learned that vulnerability won't actually kill you (even when your nervous system disagrees).When my friends passed in a rafting accident and grief rewired everything - and how loss demolishes your understanding of what actually matters.The AI creativity binge that nearly broke my brain - what happens when you're alone with no friends, no language skills, and only ChatGPT validating your 47th brand iteration until everything you're obsessed with feels boring and nothing matters anymore (scary AF)Maturity as staying put instead of booking another escape flight - why I'm extending in Lima, joining local studios, and forcing myself to deal with shit instead of using travel as emotional avoidance (growth! so sexy!).My 2025 was an invitation to stop performing identities that don't fit me anymore, start saying what I mean, befriending my demons, and contemplating my 200 year plan. Let's spiral together :)Connect with Chelsea:
Liz and Sarah have SO MANY pitches coming up! They decided to hire Pitch Coach, Jordana Oberman, to help them up their game. And they’re so glad they did.
