I met him at Kevin King's, $1 Billion Seller summit, and he's going to have a lot of knowledge to share with us. I'm going to dive in like immediately to what was mentioned in your bio. You had your account suspended. You had you ran into 400 K of debt and loans, but you've kind of come out the other end and you're you're crushing it right now on Amazon. So tell me, Brad, what happened with the account suspension?Brad 00:00:33 So I, I was doing, retail arbitrage and I got, I got really into it. it it was actually kind of unique. It started off, where I was, I, I was really into eBay growing up, so I was always selling stuff, just like as a kid throughout the house, whether it was mine or not. I was grabbing, like, antiques from the basement and, like, selling stuff out of the garage. And I think that's where I got kind of, you know, introduced to e-commerce and kind of obsessed so that that kind of was always on the side.Brad 00:01:11 And I was doing that through grade school, high school, and then into college. And I learned about Amazon FBA and I think 2012. and as an eBay guy, it was like blew me away because I was, you know, the guy waiting in line at the, at the post office and having to deal with customers. So the fact that you could just send a bunch of items in and Amazon will ship it and take care of customer service was very appealing to me. So I started, I just started watching videos and the easiest way to start, which I don't know how many people really started out like this, but I'm sure some. But I was going into, you know, odd lots and Walmarts and just buying toys or whatever I could find. And essentially I was just kind of learning that process. so, you know, that was a good way to, like, get my feet wet into Amazon FBA. and then, you know, life kind of happened where that was put off to the side.Brad 00:02:19 I was in the corporate world for a while. not doing very well. I just, was not very passionate about what I was doing, and, I got a call from a buddy. I was living in South Florida. I'm from Ohio originally, and, I got fired from one job. You know, I was working for good companies. They were, like, fortune 500 companies. And I kind of noticed right away that the people that were successful were extremely passionate about the company, and they had just drank the Kool-Aid. And I just did. I just didn't care, really. I thought our products were overpriced, which is not the mentality that you want to have when you're trying to sell something. so I was just kind of, just doing enough not to get fired. And my friend, in Columbus had called me and said, hey, I just bought this epoxy coating company. So what we're doing is we're installing, like, showroom floors in garages. You know, the the garages in Columbus or the Midwest are all cracked and spoiled.Brad 00:03:34 so, you know, this was December and he was like, hey, I can't pay you that much, but, you know, this will be our company. and I'll share profits with you. So I wasn't really doing much. You know, in terms of growing personally or professionally, although I was in South Florida, which was pretty cool for for an Ohio guy. Sure. I took him up on it, and I remember it was December. I go from this cushy sales job in South Florida. Even though I didn't like it. And then all of a sudden, I am installing, garage floors in the suburbs of Columbus. In December, we're using, like, heaters to keep ourselves warm. And the funny thing was, I actually was enjoying it more, because it was ours. So that kind of, like, turned on the light that, you know, the way that I'm going to be successful is if I'm doing something for myself, like, or as a team. And that kind of drew me back to this e-commerce stuff.Brad 00:04:36 and like I was saying, I had learned about, the Amazon FBA and I had a this background in eBay. So I just kind of I remember in one of your podcasts, you were talking about how after work, you would go home and just watch videos. yeah. Because you, you know, you kind of saw that as a way out. But, you know, what you have to do is you have to put in the time. You know, even after a long day of work when most people are just watching TV or they want to decompress. I was just drawn to just scanning eBay, you know, looking at Amazon. And I was like, I was wondering if there was an opportunity for products that I could buy on eBay and flip on Amazon. And I kind of just somehow stumbled upon this, category of high end skincare. And I was noticing that there was these really, like, high end brands that were selling for, you know, almost nothing on eBay because, li...

That's why I brought together five industry experts to break down what's actually shifting inside podcasting right now, and why creators who adapt early have a real advantage. Because this next era won't reward the biggest shows. It'll reward the ones built for how listeners behave today, which is great news for independent hosts with something meaningful to say.

The most critical first step is to align your business stage with the right provider. An SEO expert is ideal for startups or businesses needing strategic advice, specialized audits, or tactical guidance ("seeing where the needle is"). A full-service agency is better suited for mid-to-large companies that require an aggressive, multi-disciplinary growth strategy and hands-on implementation ("moving the needle").Second, "receipts" are non-negotiable. Do not hire a provider based on promises alone. Demand tangible proof of their competence and impact. Ask for detailed case studies, analytics, and data—what G.A. calls "receipts"—that show where past clients in your industry started and where they finished. This data should clearly demonstrate an increase in revenue, reach, and other key business metrics.Third, trust is earned through value. The most reliable and effective SEO partners are often those who don't rely on aggressive advertising. As Marc argues, trust is built over time. Seek out experts and agencies who freely educate their audience through podcasts, blogs, or online communities. This demonstrates genuine expertise, builds a foundation of trust, and proves they are more focused on delivering value than just making a sale.Detailed Episode Breakdown & Timestamps1. Introduction: The Core DilemmaStarting at 00:00, host Favour Obasi-ike opens the discussion by framing the critical decision business owners face: whether to engage a freelance SEO expert or a larger SEO agency. He emphasizes the strategic importance of this choice, noting that it can define a company's digital foundation and shape its future growth trajectory.At 01:15, Favour Obasi-ike provides an initial breakdown of the fundamental differences, describing an expert as a specialist focused on a specific problem, while an agency covers a comprehensive range of needs. He also introduces the idea that, under specific circumstances, the two can work together effectively.At 03:30, two primary scenarios for collaboration are detailed: an expert can augment an agency's team with specialized skills for a particular project, or an expert can be brought in to provide a "third eye" perspective for an established in-house team, offering an outside view to improve internal processes.With the core dilemma established, the discussion moves to the crucial task of matching your specific business needs to the right provider model.2. Differentiating Roles: The Doctor vs. The CoachBeginning at 05:00, the conversation highlights that to make a smart investment, you must first diagnose your own needs. This section provides a clear framework—the "Doctor vs. the Coach"—to help you distinguish between the need for tactical advice versus comprehensive execution and align your specific requirements with the right type of service provider.At 06:45, the conversation compares the two roles using a clear analogy: the expert is like a doctor who diagnoses and prescribes, while the agency is like a coach who manages the team and executes the game plan. The SEO Expert, or "Doctor," acts as a consultant or specialist who provides tactics and strategies, helping you "see where the needle is." They typically cost between $500 to $3,000+ per month on average. The SEO Agency, or "Coach," provides a full team for execution and acts as the "backbone of your brand online," actively "moving the needle" for you with a robust, multidisciplinary approach.At 09:10, Favour Obasi-ike explains the concept of an SEO agency acting as the technical "backbone" for a brand online. An agency is responsible for a wide array of needs, from generating traffic and performing technical fixes to assisting with branding, backlinks, and local SEO.At 11:25, clear advice is given on when to hire each: an expert is ideal for those just starting out who need to learn the ropes and get strategic direction. In contrast, an agency is necessary for mid-to-large businesses or well-funded startups that require an aggressive, multifaceted growth strategy.While understanding the ideal roles is essential, the real risk lies in the industry's dark side. The speakers now pivot to the critical red flags that can save a business from costly mistakes.3. Industry Pitfalls: Scams, Red Flags, and Cautionary TalesAt 15:30, the conversation shifts to address the "bad rep" of the SEO industry, highlighting why business owners must be exceptionally vigilant. This segment underscores the importance of recognizing red flags to avoid wasting money, losing time, and protecting critical company assets like websites and data.At 17:00, G.A. shares his negative experiences with agencies, explaining his preference for direct, one-on-one relationships. He recounts a client's horror story where a previous agency held their website and data hostage, making it nearly impossible to transition to a new provider and regain control of their own intellectual property.At 20:15, Marc McIntosh offers a powerful anecdote about a new client who had been paying a significant sum for "SEO services" but did not even have Google Analytics or Google Search Console connected to their site—a fundamental flaw. He warns against providers selling overpriced, templated services and using fake bot traffic to manipulate reports and create the illusion of progress.At 24:50, G.A. describes a common scam in his industry where companies buy recycled, low-quality leads from "SEO experts" who use impressive-sounding buzzwords like "quantum computing" to sell ineffective, boilerplate services that fail to deliver genuine clients.Recognizing the scams is half the battle; the other half is proactively identifying a trustworthy partner. The conversation now provides a practical vetting framework to do just that.4. Vetting a Partner: How to Find a Trustworthy ProviderStarting at 28:00, and armed with an understanding of the risks, this section delivers a practical toolkit for due diligence. Follow these systematic steps to move beyond a provider's sales pitch and verify their true capabilities, establishing a successful and transparent partnership from the start.At 29:30, the speakers collectively outline actionable steps for vetting any potential SEO provider.First, ask probing questions. Favour Obasi-ike suggests asking specific operational questions to gauge professionalism and process, such as: "What is your tech stack?", "How do you handle sensitive data and passwords?", and "How do you work as a team?".Second, demand "receipts" (proof of work). Synthesizing advice from the panel, this point stresses the need to see hard evidence. Demand what GA calls "receipts"—case studies, analytics, and performance data showing where clients started and finished. Additionally, as H advises, ensure these case studies explain the strategy behind the results, demonstrating their understanding of your industry.Third, check their own fundamentals. Marc provides a simple but effective tip: audit the provider's own website for basic SEO health. If they have fundamental errors like multiple H1 tags (Mark's example) or an outdated copyright date (Jolanta's example), it's a major red flag.Fourth, verify their authority. Look for tangible proof that they are a genuine expert in their field. A credible provider often has a presence on platforms like LinkedIn, hosts a podcast, writes a blog, or runs a community where they actively share knowledge and engage with their industry.Fifth, prioritize referrals and earned trust. Marc makes a compelling argument that the best partners are found through trusted referrals, not advertisements. He advises following potential experts over time. Those who consistently teach and give value freely are building genuine trust, making them a much safer and more reliable choice.A thorough vetting process is the best defense against industry scams and serves as the foundation for a fruitful, long-term relationship.5. Final Thoughts & Resources MentionedAt 45:00, the final segment wraps up the discussion by covering specific tools and platforms that can aid in SEO efforts. This reinforces the core idea that successful SEO is not a one-time fix but an ongoing, dynamic process of learning, implementation, and adaptation.At 46:15, the discussion touches on leveraging specific platforms for greater reach. In response to Jolanta's question, Favour Obasi-ike explains that Pinterest is a powerful visual search engine, not just a social media platform. Because the lifespan of a "pin" is 3.5 months to 5 months (compared to 19-72 hours for an Instagram post), content published there continues to drive traffic and build authority for a brand long after it's posted.At 52:30, the tools and platforms mentioned throughout the episode include: ClickUp, Zoom, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, ChatGPT, LinkedIn, Clubhouse, and Pinterest.At 55:00, Favour Obasi-ike closes the episode with a final call to action, encouraging listeners to connect with him directly via the link in his bio to turn the insights from the conversation into concrete action for their businesses.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we dive into the seven telltale signs that you might just be taking your podcasting journey a smidge too seriously...because taking your podcast too seriously is possible.We chat about how obsessing over minor editing mistakes can suck the joy out of your creative process. I mean, have you ever listened to a popular podcast that sounded like it was recorded underwater? Probably Yet, they still have tens of thousands of listeners. This just goes to show that your audience is more interested in the content that you can give them rather than a perfectly polished audio track. So, are you finding yourself giving up fun for perfection? If you're stressing over a missed breath sound or an awkward pause, it might be time to reevaluate your approach.In the episode, we also tackle the pressure of posting schedules. Yes, consistency is key, but if that pressure is making you want to pull your hair out, it's time to hit the brakes. Remember, podcasting should be a joy, not a chore. And comparing yourself to full-time creators with fancy studios? Let's just say it's a recipe for burnout. We're all just trying to make magic happen from our dining tables, right? Plus, we discuss the dangers of over-planning. If you find yourself exhausted before even hitting record, that's a sign you might be overthinking it.

If you find yourself obsessing over every tiny editing mistake, it's time to relax a bit. No-one is going to mind about the odd breath or 0.2 second pause. Remember, podcasting can be a fun hobby, not just a business strategy or stress-inducing chore.

Send us a textTrust just outperformed reach, and the ripple effects across podcasting were impossible to ignore. We step back from the noise and share a clear-eyed look at how 2025 reshaped the medium: ad dollars didn't vanish, they got picky; sloppy, reactive launches faded; and intentional, voice-led shows built momentum by earning credibility one conversation at a time.We walk through the economic realities that forced sharper strategy, showing why advertisers concentrated spend on proven hosts and why niche podcasts won more meaningful outcomes with fewer downloads. As traditional media continued to erode and AI flooded feeds, listeners doubled down on long-form audio for context, nuance, and human tone. That shift elevated experts who serve a specific audience with clarity, rather than chasing mass appeal or empty virality.Community took centre stage as algorithms stalled. Smaller, community-driven shows converted better because they focused on the right listener. We dig into how to use podcasting as a relationship engine, where know-like-trust beats top-line numbers, and share a real-world example of a modestly sized show landing high-value clients through consistent, relevant content. We also outline our pivot into strategic podcast guesting—moving away from random appearances toward aligned stages that deepen credibility and open new opportunities for both host and audience.Rounding things out, we introduce a new executive-level, concierge podcast model built for leaders who want on-location capture, higher production value, and a clear strategy without the duct tape. We wrap with an invitation to the upcoming Podcast Alliance event—featuring sessions on live, on-location podcasting and best practices for hosting—and a look ahead to 2026 priorities: tighter focus, stronger communities, smarter use of AI, and a relentless commitment to trust.Podcast Alliance Quarterly MeetUp & Mastermind Where Podcasters, Podcast Guests and content creators meet, collaborate and network!

1285. El feedback es una de esas palabras que resumen muy bien lo que hay detrás de este episodio y, sobre todo, lo que hay detrás de Al otro lado del micrófono. En este capítulo me siento, literalmente, a escuchar. A escuchar lo que habéis dicho, lo que habéis escrito y lo que habéis comentado a lo largo del último mes en plataformas como Spotify, iVoox o YouTube. Y lo hago desde un lugar muy concreto: el agradecimiento y la convicción de que sin ese feedback este proyecto no tendría el mismo sentido. Empiezo el episodio en un contexto muy especial, con las vacaciones navideñas ya en marcha y con una calma distinta, de esas que te permiten mirar atrás sin prisas. Y antes incluso de entrar en los comentarios, hago algo que considero obligatorio: agradecer a las 31 personas que han apoyado la campaña de crowdfunding de Podnights Madrid 2026. Cuatro años consecutivos alcanzando el objetivo mínimo no es algo que dé por hecho. Al contrario. Cada campaña me genera más dudas, más vértigo y más respeto. Y sois quienes estáis al otro lado del micrófono quienes me demostráis que merece la pena seguir insistiendo. Este episodio no va de métricas ni de cifras. Va de personas. De comentarios concretos, con nombres y apellidos, que han generado reflexión, debate y, en algunos casos, incluso autocrítica. Repaso, por ejemplo, las reacciones al episodio sobre el desprecio al oyente en el podcasting, donde se pone sobre la mesa algo que yo tengo muy claro desde hace años: el oyente es lo primero. El sonido, el respeto, la claridad y evitar las bromas internas que dejan fuera a quien escucha no son detalles menores, son la base del medio. También recojo comentarios relacionados con el uso de la inteligencia artificial aplicada a la edición y a la organización de contenidos. Me interesa especialmente cómo cada creador está encontrando su propio equilibrio entre automatizar procesos y mantener el control creativo. Aquí no hay recetas mágicas, pero sí aprendizajes compartidos que enriquecen mucho más el episodio que cualquier discurso unidireccional. Otro bloque importante del feedback llega a raíz del episodio dedicado a “Audio Con_sentido” y la clasificación por edades en los podcasts. Las reacciones muestran perfectamente lo complejo que es regular un medio tan flexible como el audio. No todo el mundo está de acuerdo, y precisamente por eso me parece tan interesante abrir estos melones y escuchar opiniones que no siempre coinciden con la mía. A lo largo del episodio voy respondiendo, matizando y ampliando ideas, pero sin perder de vista algo fundamental: este espacio no es un monólogo. Es una conversación diferida. Yo hablo hoy, alguien comenta mañana y esa conversación continúa semanas después. Y eso, en un podcast diario, tiene un valor enorme. Cierro el capítulo volviendo al agradecimiento, no solo por el apoyo económico o por estar en Telegram, sino por algo mucho más difícil de conseguir: la implicación real. Personas que escuchan, comentan, discrepan, apoyan campañas, se suscriben y, en definitiva, hacen posible que yo pueda vivir de hacer podcast. No lo doy por hecho ni un solo día. Cada vez que me coloco a un lado o al otro del micrófono, todo ese feedback está muy presente._____________ ¡Gracias por pasarte 'Al otro lado del micrófono' un día más para seguir aprendiendo sobre podcasting!

Through the Gain Traction Podcast, Mike has interviewed hundreds of industry leaders; from independent shop owners to executives at national brands, bringing tire industry podcast insights that center on people, leadership, and long-term business health. His perspective matters because it's shaped not just by theory, but by years of listening, observing patterns, and reflecting on what actually helps shops grow and sustain strong cultures.Tony O'Billovich is a seasoned tire and auto repair industry leader with decades of hands-on experience managing and growing multi-location operations. Having overseen everything from daily retail operations to large-scale expansion projects, Tony now leads the Master Shop Program at Point S Tire USA, where he coaches and mentors independent shop owners on profitability, leadership, and business growth. Known for his practical, down-to-earth approach, Tony helps tire shop owners take control of their businesses by focusing on pricing strategies, employee development, and operational efficiency, all while preserving the legacies and community roots that make independent shops unique.In this episode…This episode steps away from surface-level recaps and leans into tire industry podcast insights that quietly shape how leaders think and act. Framed as a year-in-review, the conversation turns the focus onto reflection, what happens when you truly listen to different voices across the industry and allow those perspectives to challenge your assumptions about leadership, communication, and people.For shop owners and operators navigating constant pressure; from staffing issues to cultural shifts, this discussion matters right now. The themes that keep resurfacing are the ones that don't go away: trust, accountability, clarity, and the cost of ignoring communication. Rather than prescribing answers, the episode invites listeners to pause and ask whether they're building businesses that support people as much as profits and whether they're actually hearing what their teams are telling them.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [01:15] Why reflecting on conversations reveals deeper leadership insights[02:48] Mike Edge's background and entry into internet marketing and the tire industry[07:17] What drives long-term passion for the tire and automotive repair space[09:36] Leadership lessons from Rob Williams and a dealer-first mindset[12:36] Stepping back from daily operations to lead the business more effectively[16:08] Leadership perspectives drawn from Melanie White's industry involvement[18:42] Increasing female participation and representation in automotive[22:20] Generational shifts and preparing the future workforce[23:15] Insights on Gen Z's growing role in the automotive industry[28:44] The impact of poor communication on business performance[30:32] Why open communication and accountability define strong leadership[34:39] Integrity and culture lessons from long-tenured industry leaders[35:57] Episodes and themes that resonated most with listeners[38:01] Advice for technicians and mechanics starting their careers[40:13] Guidance for first-time managers on clarity and accountability[43:21] The biggest challenges facing tire and automotive dealers todayResources mentioned in this episode:Point S Tire WebsiteTread PartnersGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction Podcast WebsiteMike Edge on LinkedInGain Traction Podcast Ep#202 with Rob WilliamsGain Traction Podcast Ep#194 with Kamard JohnsonGain Traction Podcast Ep#203: Behind the Wheel at SEMA 2025: Meet the Industry Game-Changers - Part 1Gain Traction Podcast Ep#195 with Josh ParnellGain Traction Podcast Ep#207 with Gary SkidmoreGain Traction Podcast Ep#136 with Mike GraberQuotable Moments:“I liked his honesty, and specifically his honesty with himself.” “Poor communication costs shop owners 18% of total salaries being paid out on an annual basis.” “If you'll keep communicating, you'll always figure it out.” “Everybody has something to offer you, and that knowledge can be a gift.” “We're all going to make mistakes, just be accountable for them.”Action Steps:Schedule regular leadership check-ins to reflect on communication gaps and address them before they become costly issues, strong tire industry podcast insights consistently point back to clarity and follow-through.Audit where your time is spent as an owner or manager and identify tasks that should be delegated so you can focus on vision, culture, and financial oversight.Create structured opportunities for open feedback with your team, making it clear that accountability is expected but mistakes are part of growth.Invest in soft-skills training for technicians and frontline staff, including communication, professionalism, and customer interaction.Actively mentor younger employees by being direct, honest, and consistent; supporting long-term workforce stability rather than short-term fixes.

In this deeply personal farewell episode, I reflect on seven years of Lessons from a Quitter as I step into a 2026 sabbatical—unsure what comes next. I share why this podcast was worth starting long before it was "successful," and how creating something scary reshaped my confidence, career, and life. We unpack letting go of metrics, redefining success, building meaningful community, and why you don't need to be an expert to begin. This episode is an invitation to honor your curiosity, trust the messy middle, and finally start the thing you can't stop thinking about.
The most anticipated annual tradition on Out of Patients returns with the 2025 Holiday Podcast Spectacular starring Matthew's twins Koby and Hannah. Now 15 and a half and deep into sophomore year, the twins deliver another unfiltered year end recap that longtime listeners wait for every December. What began as a novelty in 2018 has become a time capsule of adolescence, parenting, and how fast childhood burns off.This year's recap covers real moments from 2025 A subway ride home with a bloodied face after running full speed into that tree that grows in Brooklyn. Broadway obsessions fueled by James Madison High School's Roundabout Youth Ensemble access, including Chess, & Juliet, Good Night and Good Luck, and Pirates of Penzance holding court on Broadway. A Disneylanmd trip where the Millennium Falcon triggered a full system reboot. A New York Auto Show pilgrimage capped by a Bugatti sighting. All the things.The twins talk school pressure, AP classes, learner permit anxiety, pop culture fixation, musical theater devotion, and the strange clarity that comes with turning 15. The humor stays sharp, the details stay specific, and the passage of time stays undefeated. This episode lands where the show works best: family, honesty, and letting young people speak for themselves.FEEDBACKLike this episode?

What up, shorms? Been a while eh? So the Morphy Boys are back. Have been back. Podcasting. For two years. This is the pilot episode of podcast called Hate Speech Podcast. The Morphy Boys + sometimes guest pick a topic and hate on it or defend it. This smorgasbord of hate is about someone a lot of the animorphs community knows and hates: THOMAS HEAP. He's the Animorphs YouTuber that makes right wing content about Animorphs. He runs a large Animorphs discord where he allowed a Nazi to be a mod. He thinks animorphs is too woke. And he also thinks jk Rowling is a better writer than KA Applegate. Maybe some of you have this weird grudge with this little chud too. Past guest Greg certainly did as they are different sides of the same coin (British). We thought some of you might vibe with our new thing and we have a whole two years worth of podcast out there for you. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts. It's called Hate Speech Podcast. https://hatespeechpod.com/
Welcome to Episode 250! We joke that we turned “250” before “America250,” the moniker given to the United States's anniversary celebration. The country is celebrating 250 years in 2026. This is also our last episode of 2025, and we want to thank you for listening and making this another fantastic year filled with good books and good friends! Some highlights: We have our usual segments in this episode, but first, we review how we did with our reading intentions for 2025. Overall, we did well, even if we had to look in our notes to see what they were! Emily had one that really surprised us, and may have slipped into our subconscious to help create our theme for 2026. What we've read since last time: THE AWARD by Matthew Pearl “A Small, Good Thing” from the collection WHERE I'M CALLING FROM by Raymond Carver JURASSIC GIRL: THE ADVENTURES OF MARY ANNING, PALEONTOLOGIST AND THE FIRST FEMALE FOSSIL HUNTER by Michele C. Hollow THE LAST WITCH by C.J. Cooke “Street Haunting: A London Adventure” from the collection, COLLECTED ESSAYS by Virginia Woolf A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens (the audio version narrated by Ralph Cosham) SAPPHIRA AND THE SLAVE GIRL by Willa Cather In Biblio Adventures, Chris watched Hank Phillipi Ryan's excellent interview with Matthew Pearl about his new novel, THE AWARD, on A MIGHTY BLAZE. Emily spent a week in the Big Apple and visited the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, Café Con Libros in Crown Heights, and Bibliotheque NYC in Soho. We talk about our 2026 theme: books/stories with movie/TV adaptations. Our first quarter readalong pick is FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley. The Zoom discussion will be in March; the exact date is TBD. We'll use #booktofilm2026 as our official hashtag. Reminder: if you played Ghost Story Bingo with us this year, email us an image of your card by midnight on 12/31/2025. Happy Listening and Happy Reading!
In today's episode, I'm guiding you through a powerful year-in-review alignment audit designed to help you consciously close out the year and step into the next one with clarity, intention, and self-trust.

Think of this episode as a sacred pause - a moment to zoom out, honor your growth, and intentionally choose how you want to feel, live, and lead yourself in the year ahead.After listening, take time to journal with these prompts to deepen the integration:What things drained my energy this year, and what am I officially choosing to release? (consider people, relationships, parts of your career/business, and inner workings + patterns)What brought me the most joy, fun, or aliveness this year and how can I intentionally expand these in my daily life? (consider people, relationships, parts of your career/business, and inner workings + patterns)If joy and alignment led every decision I made in January 2026, what would shift immediately in how I show up, spend my time, and support myself?If I lived all of 2026 the same way I want to live January, who would I become and what would my life look + feel like?Let this episode be your permission slip to choose yourself, choose joy, and move forward with clarity instead of pressure.

The True Story Behind Zurvan - The Demon From The Novel, "Advent of Evil"In Persian Mithraism, there was a deity associated with time and fate. His followers celebrated him during mid-winter festivals — festivals that reached their peak on December 24th. In the novel Advent of Evil, that deity appears as a demon who operates through a cursed advent calendar, enforcing strict rules: one door opened every day, no skipping, no ignoring. Break the rules, and there are consequences. Researchers tracing the object's history in the novel found it connected to a spirit board, a serial killer, a Christmas Eve fire, and thirty years of patient waiting. How much of the demon Zurvan has any basis in actual ancient mythology — and was there ever a real entity behind the fiction? We'll examine what archaeologists found on clay tablets dating back over three thousand years.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Demon In The Advent Calendar00:05:13.171 = Show Open00:06:33.462 = A Thousand Years of Sacrifice00:18:20.446 = *** The Lion-Headed God In The Vatican00:41:40.408 = *** Kill Them All01:05:08.640 = *** The God Who Doesn't Care01:12:21.326 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakPRINT VERSION to READ or SHARE (Includes Sources):https://weirddarkness.com/zurvan=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
