We live in a time where sixty second summaries get more attention than real stories but real growth does not come from bite sized checklists. It comes from sharing what you have lived through and taking the time to understand what those experiences taught you.I also share why I want more people to tell their own stories in their own voice whether that is through a blog a podcast or their own corner of the internet. Your lived experience has depth and context that no algorithm friendly format will ever capture. If you have been thinking about creating your own platform this is your reminder to start.This episode is more of an audio journal than a polished outline. I am sorting thoughts in real time and inviting you to do the same. If something in this message hits you or brings up your own perspective I would love to hear it.

But if everything AI writes sounds like LinkedIn wallpaper and not you, it's because you haven't taught it your voice—yet.In Day 6 of 12 Days of AI Quick Wins, Dawn shows you how to clone your voice in under 10 minutes using three real writing samples and one smart prompt. If you've ever sighed, “Ugh, I'll just rewrite it myself,” this episode is your time-saving permission slip to stop. Because when AI writes like you, you edit instead of overhaul—and that's where the magic happens.Your Day 6 Action:Pick three short pieces of your own writing—an email, a post, a client message.Run them through the voice-training prompt from today's episode.In 10 minutes, you'll have a custom voice profile you can reuse over and over again.Key Takeaways:AI isn't bad—it's just untrained. It writes in “default professional” until you show it otherwise.Your 3 writing samples = your voice fingerprint. No fancy tech needed.Use the voice-training prompt to help AI analyze and replicate your tone, phrasing, and structure.Save the conversation. Create a “voice hub” you can return to every time you need content.When AI sounds like you, you save real time.

Driving the recently upgraded Honda Civic e:HEV-LX five door hatch at $55,900 drive-away not inexpensive but this is one very impressive small hybrid hatchback, highly equipped, frugal and with very engaging dynamics. A 2-0 litre petrol engine with two motor hybrid assistance driving through an electric CVT transmission. The hybrid power train most impressive, prioritising electric power and the move to petrol power under a heavier throttle is seamless quiet and refined. As I said earlier this is one of the best new cars I’ve driven in the last 12 months. Economy, in mainly city driving an impressive 5.0L/100km on 91 grade petrol. Battery charging when coasting and braking can be adjusted via the steering wheel shift paddles. And on top of 11 airbags a full suite of active safety elements via Honda Sensing technology. The drive experience engaging – on 18- inch alloy wheels with premium Michelin Pilot Sport tyres the driving dynamics are first class. Yes, it’s a little pricey at $55,900 drive-away but the Honda Civic e- HEV-L is loaded with equipment apart from a tyre repair kit and no spare wheel. Warranty five-years unlimited km warranty, battery warranty 8 years with service costs class leading – Just $597 over three years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we dive into how AI is accelerating the shift in user-generated content for advertising. Donatas Smailys, Co-founder and CEO of Billo, shares why social algorithms now demand high-volume content, his view on using AI as a scaling tool for real human creators (not for generating fake humans), and the crucial role of authenticity and variety in winning on platforms like Meta and TikTok. He also discusses the future of trust and AI characters in the content landscape.Topics discussed in this episode:  Why social algorithms now demand high-volume content daily. What makes a successful brand-creator relationship: emotion and performance data. Why Meta's Andromeda algorithm now wins with variety and volume of creatives. Why fake faces and AI-generated UGC are viewed as short-term gains with risk of backlash. How Billo uses AI to instantly generate the next creative from existing real human content. Why the future will require clear differentiation between real and AI content. Links & Resources Website: https://billo.app LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smailys/  Get access to more free resources by visiting the show notes at https://tinyurl.com/y2zubc9w______________________________________________________ LOVE THE SHOW?

In this episode, Marco Palladino, CTO and co-founder of Kong Inc., explores what it means to build and scale AI responsibly when the rulebook is still being written. He explains that infrastructure should be the frontline defense for enforcing governance, security, and reliability in AI deployments.

Don't miss it — we won't!   Running a modern trampoline or adventure park isn't as simple as “put trampolines in a warehouse and open the doors” anymore. Operators juggle guest expectations, evolving tech stacks, labor realities, and the need to turn first-time visitors into loyal fans. In this conversation, Matt and Josh surface practical solutions with a live panel—Phillip Howell (Best American Trampolines), Greg Spittle (ROLLER), and Brandon Willey (Intelliplay)—covering design, data, kiosks vs. people, post-visit marketing, gamification, and AI. In this episode, Phillip, Greg, and Brandon share how the trampoline park model has matured and what tech-enabled moves will define the next five years. From Warehouses to Polished, Parent-Friendly Parks “We were going into warehouses… 10 to 15,000 square feet of actual trampolines… no party rooms, no decoration on the wall.” Early parks were bare-bones. Today, Phillip emphasizes warm, inviting environments: clean sightlines, framed netting, wrinkle-free pads, murals, and real seating and TVs for parents. The aesthetic isn't vanity - it sets the perceived cleanliness and quality bar the moment guests walk in. Match Online Promises with Onsite Reality “That upfront experience needs to match the experience when I walk through the door.” Brandon flags a common miss: aspirational websites and social feeds that don't reflect the actual facility. Greg adds that outdated online checkout flows lose guests before they arrive. Align visuals and copy with the real experience, and make the digital path to purchase smooth. Before–During–After: Design the Whole Journey “There's a bit of technology in every piece of that journey.” Before the visit: modern web and frictionless online booking. During the visit: clear wayfinding, staffed self-service kiosks (never kiosks alone), and trained team members who intercept stress and upsell thoughtfully. After the visit: structured follow-ups—survey, intercept negative feedback before it hits Google, and segmented re-engagement. Kiosks Need Humans “You can't just leave the kiosks out there and expect success.” Automation works best with people in the loop. The winning model pairs one well-trained team member with multiple kiosks to guide choices, protect the experience, and enable upsells… without leaving a 16-year-old “on an island.” Own the Post-Visit Moment (and the Data) “Trampoline parks have a massive advantage. You have mandatory waivers… it's marketing data.” Use waivers to power segmentation: birthday clubs (30–45 days out), membership offers, and interest-based campaigns. Greg notes birthday bookings often happen ~3 weeks in advance, so time your messages. Automate when possible, but always deliver genuine value in every send. Wearables & Gamification Drive Repeat Visits “After the bands were in place, repeat visitation went up to 78%.” Intelliplay's wristbands track activity, show session status (green to red), reduce PA “time's up” moments, and fuel leaderboards. With demographic data and in-park behavior, operators can create attraction-specific events (e.g., dodgeball nights) and reward systems that keep families coming back. Clean Lines = Clean Minds “You see a wrinkled pad and it looks dirty.” Optics shape reviews. Details like pad tension, framed netting, and tidy sightlines communicate safety and care, prevent “dirty” perceptions that damage ratings even when facilities are spotless. AI Now & Next: Practical, Not Hype “AI is still in its infancy… but options matter.” Today: load SOPs into a private assistant for staff training and guest FAQs; use AI for campaign ideation and drafting. Tomorrow: agentic AI will act on your data, building and running segmented campaigns, surfacing decisions from noise, and personalizing in-park and post-visit experiences. Humans stay central; AI reduces drudgery. Operator Priorities That Don't Change “What's driving my revenue, costs, and guest experience?” Greg's three pillars: Revenue engines (birthday parties remain foundational; memberships rising). Costs (especially labor forecasting by day/week/season). Guest experience (measure, intercept, and improve). Brandon adds: audit your attraction mix and secret shop your own venue regularly, end to end. The Park of the Near Future “Immersive, gamified, personalized.” Expect lighting tied to activity, unified scoring across attractions, persistent profiles, and app-based rewards that feel like arcade redemption—physical prizes today, digital skins tomorrow. Most of all: keep experimenting; iterate quickly, learn, and evolve.   What tech or tactics have moved the needle most in your venue: kiosks, leaderboards, birthday automation, staff training tools, or something else?

Have you ever worked with someone who was brilliant—but couldn't lead? They nailed every metric. Sharp thinker. Polished communicator. But when it comes to people? Influence? Vision? They stalled. Because here's the truth: IQ gets you in the room. EQ helps you lead the room. But it's SQ that reminds you why the room even matters. Today, we're unpacking the difference between IQ, EQ, and SQ—and what great leaders know about using all three. Let's dive in.>> Links mentioned within

Polished leaders all master these three areas. They can frame their role powerfully, share courses of action convincingly, and summarize complexity consistently. In this episode, I provide very practical ways to improve in each area to rise above the rest. The post Ep. 378 – Roles, recommendations, and re-caps appeared first on Just Saying.

Highlights what makes KISS songs durable.Legacy: Shifted focus from KISS's image to their songwriting craft, underlining their influence across genres and eras.Songs: “Deuce,” “Calling Dr. Love,” “Rock and Roll All Nite,” “Black Diamond,” and more reimagined for the ‘90s and beyond.Diggin'Curtis Harding – Departures & Arrivals: Adventures of Captain Curt (2025): Space-funk concept album with deep soul roots.Ratt – Out of the Cellar (1984): Polished ‘80s glam metal and classic MTV glam hooks.Cut Copy – Moments (2025): Australian indie-dance euphoria.Anne Murray – Here You Are (2025): Canadian pop/country veteran covers timeless standards.Join the ConversationWhat compilations got you hooked on a genre or artist?

Is your speaking authentic—or just polished performance? Learn why collecting no's as a speaker isn't failure—it builds courage, resilience, and the emotional stamina needed to grow. Discover why the true impact of your words may not be immediate—your message can echo long after you've left the room. Understand how social neuroscience shows that live speaking activates more areas of the brain, making in-person engagement especially powerful. Recognize that authenticity and self-awareness are the foundations of effective communication, helping you connect beyond just content.Uncover how adopting the mindset of “be the water, not the rock” helps you flow around resistance instead of clashing with it. Realize that criticism is often more about the critic's pain than your performance—so don't internalize every negative remark. Master the idea that courage and generous assumptions are essential when speaking hard truths or challenging norms—because connection beats confrontation.Discover why:Rejection isn't failure: every "no" builds your courage and emotional stamina.Your words have a ripple effect: impact can happen long after your talk ends.Live speaking hits deeper: it activates more of the brain, making in-person talks more powerful.Authenticity connects: being self-aware and real helps you go beyond just delivering content.Flow with resistance: like water, don't fight back hard; adapt and keep moving.Don't absorb every critique: sometimes, criticism reveals more about the critic than your message.Lead with courage and compassion: when speaking hard truths, prioritize connection over confrontation.Celebrated Speaker, Agent Antoniette Roze, and Transformational Mindset Coach, Sherril Harris shares her insights on the importance of social neuroscience and emotional intelligence in fostering human connection, particularly in the speaking industry. She discusses her journey into this field, the impact of live versus virtual interactions, and the significance of authenticity and self-awareness in communication. Sherril emphasizes the need to navigate criticism and embrace rejection as part of personal growth, encouraging listeners to adopt a mindset of curiosity and courage in their interactions.Ready to Speak with More Impact—Not Just Polish?

Kat Armstrong Kay Daigle Leaders are always on the hunt for good volunteers. The question is what to look for in a potential volunteer. The answer? Recruit gifted volunteers, in fact look for those  more gifted than you are. What does it look like practically? Kat Armstrong discusses with Kay Daigle why and how to find and empower such volunteers. As a leader, this episode will make you think about what gifts you need in the people working under and with you. Keep in mind that you need to recruit gifted volunteers, people who are even more gifted than you are! Recommended resources Recruit the right volunteers  with Kat Armstrong How Should I Structure My Women's Ministry Team? Maximizing volunteers This episode is available on video as well. TranscriptKay >> Hi, I'm Kay Daigle with Beyond Ordinary Women, and I am delighted to welcome you to a series of videos that I'm doing with Kat Armstrong, who is the founder of Polished Ministry, a nonprofit. And Kat is sharing lessons in leadership that she has learned through leading in Polished. And we have some others that we're discussing as well. But this particular session we're going to talk about seeking leaders that are more gifted than you. And so, Kat, there are probably people out there wondering why in the world you would want to seek leaders more gifted than you, because don't you want to sort of be the one who knows all the answers and, you know, you're sort of at the top of the food chain. Why not? Kat >> Well, yes, I used to think that way. I read this book by John Maxwell, probably 15 years ago called Developing the Leaders Around You. And that book changed my mind about this. And he said, “Think about your leadership on a scale with zero being not such a great leader, got to work on some things, and ten being really high capacity person. He said, “Let's say that we're seven maybe six-and-a-half. If you start recruiting eight, nines and tens in your organization, they're going to bring you up. They're only going to encourage you in leadership and make you a better leader. And I think Stephanie and I, when we co-founded this organization, really took that to heart. But I started to see quickly that if we were going to reach our peers with the gospel—young, professional women (I only had experience in sales and marketing), we needed women who were great in accounting and logistics and administration and technology. Things that I'm not going to be able to learn really quickly or efficiently. But they know how to do it. And so we just decided let's recruit the smartest, fastest, most efficient women we can think of. And it is a little intimidating. I walk into a leadership team meeting, and I think everyone in here is better educated and could do a lot of things better than I can. But it just makes our team really strong. Kay >> Absolutely. I totally agree with you about that. Do you have an example to share of someone or a group that really was just an amazing recruit? Kat >> Sure. If we look at our staff right now, I wish I could talk about all of them. We don't have time to do that. But I think if you just go to our website, look at the headquarters staff, they're incredible. Felicia Benton really stands out in my mind is someone I watched behind a microphone and I thought, wow, she is better at interviewing than I have gotten in a decade. And I've really been practicing. We've done over 200 events. I bet I've interviewed a slew of people and it was like magic to watch her behind a microphone. And then I watched her emcee an event, and I thought of all the things I've read in the training I've been to that is just raw, natural talent right there. It's and now she's joined our staff as the regional director, and she helps all of our directors and see and speak. And so she's training people on how to do that. But I think she probably stands out as a great example for that. Kay >> Well,

Tune into our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure and Aged Expired niches!In today's episode of the All The Leads Mastermind podcast the conversation focused on sharpening marketing strategies through direct mail campaigns and building a stronger digital presence. The panel emphasized the importance of consistency in mailing, discussing how cadence, message clarity, and professional presentation directly impact response rates. Members shared success stories around pairing letters with follow-up calls, as well as tips for segmenting lists to prioritize the most motivated sellers. The discussion then turned to websites as a credibility and conversion tool. Bruce explained how even a simple, well-structured site can build trust with probate leads by showing professionalism, authority, and resources tailored to families in transition. The group explored best practices for content such as including probate FAQs, testimonials, and clear calls to action along with the value of integrating websites with mailing campaigns so prospects have multiple touchpoints to validate your expertise. Tim and Jim highlighted how the most successful agents combine print and digital, using direct mail to open the door and online presence to establish credibility once homeowners start researching. The episode wrapped with practical advice on tracking responses, refining messaging over time, and making sure that both websites and mailings work together to build trust, stay top-of-mind, and increase long-term conversion rates. Key Takeaways Consistency in direct mail is key. Mailing cadence and clear messaging dramatically influence response rates. Pair mailings with calls to create a natural follow-up process and build stronger connections. Websites establish credibility by providing families with probate-specific resources, FAQs, and testimonials. Mail + website = multi-touch trust: Prospects often research you online after receiving a letter, so both channels must align. Professional presentation matters: Polished websites and high-quality mailings convey authority and reliability. Track and refine: Monitoring response rates and adjusting both messaging and design can boost results over time. Integration creates long-term wins: Using direct mail to initiate contact and websites to nurture trust produces higher conversions than relying on a single channel. To learn more, visit To learn more, visit https://www.AllTheLeads.com or call (844) 532-3369 to check how many leads are available in your market. #ProbateRealEstate  #RealEstateMarketing #DirectMailMarketing #RealEstateLeads  Previous episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Thank you for joining me today and following us throughout Project 23. If you would like to learn more about this project, click the link to discover more and partner with us. Our text today is Mark 12:38-40: And in his teaching he said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes and like greetings in the marketplaces and have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.” — Mark 12:38-40 Jesus has been teaching in the temple all day, and now he turns from answering questions to issuing a warning. “Beware of the scribes.” He calls them out on their own turf. And notice the exhortation. He does not say to “disagree with them” or “debate them.” He says "beware" as in, be on high alert. Why? Because their spiritual influence looked holy on the outside. They wore the robes. Spoke the language. Took the places of honor. Prayed eloquent prayers. But it was all for show. Underneath the surface, Jesus exposes something far more dangerous: They devoured widows' houses. They used their spiritual authority to manipulate, exploit, and take. Their power was not for people's good, but for their own gain. And Jesus doesn't just call it out—he warns of a greater condemnation. Spiritual leadership without spiritual integrity is deadly. And Jesus is clear. He's not impressed with religious appearances. He sees the robes. The seats. The greetings. The prayers. But more importantly, he sees the motives. Are you living for God's approval or people's applause? This warning isn't just for teachers and pastors, like myself, which is humbling to consider. It's for anyone tempted to put on a spiritual performance. It's for the man who prays in public but won't lead at home. The woman who knows Scripture but won't show grace. The leader who loves attention but won't serve in obscurity. God is not looking for polished people. He's looking for surrendered hearts. So beware of putting on a religious show. It may impress people, but it never fools God. #BewareTheShow, #Mark12, #SpiritualIntegrity ASK THIS: Why does Jesus say “beware” instead of just “disagree”? What does “devouring widows' houses” tell you about the scribes? Where are you tempted to perform spiritually? How can you pursue deeper integrity in your walk with Christ? DO THIS: Ask someone who knows you well: “Do you ever see a gap between what I say spiritually and how I actually live?” PRAY THIS: Jesus, protect me from the temptation to perform spiritually. I don't want appearance—I want authenticity. Shape my heart, not just my image. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Give Me Jesus”

Rebekah Coste hosts the "Moms of the Lou" podcast, and features Leah Longueville of Polished Prints in this latest episode. Leah, an Illinois mom, discusses her business journey - starting with onesies for her daughter and evolving into a brand offering gender-neutral clothing and mom-friendly items. She highlights the challenges of balancing business growth with family life and emphasizes the importance of creating a community and safe space for customers to share personal stories. Go visit Polished Prints in Edwardsville or support Leah's business online! Leah Longueville started Polished Prints in 2018 when she was a new mom with a personal love for graphic tees, and yet couldn't seem to find many for her daughter that really aligned with her own mindset. So she did what any graphic designer mom would do - she created her own. It all started in her guest bedroom, hand-printing onesies one-by-one and sharing them on social media. She focused on positive messages that reflect her own values, bringing to life the meaningful apparel she felt was missing in the world of children's clothing. It didn't take long for her to see how messages like "Be The Good" and "Love Thy Neighbor" resonated with so many others in the same way, so she decided to open up an Etsy shop so others could spread the love, too. Before she knew it, she launched her own website and this tiny hobby evolved into its own little business.We hope you enjoyed this podcast episode!

Before this episode, I tried to record twice. Both times, I was trying to sound like what I thought a podcaster should be. Motivational. Polished. Perfect. But it wasn't me. This right here? This was the first real one. No fancy mic, no ring light—just me, in a closet, recording on an Android with a gaming headset, talking to save myself. I was a sergeant on the outside, but broken and lost behind closed doors. In honor of Men's Mental Health Awareness, I'm remastering “Find Your Peace”—the episode that helped me stop pretending and start healing. I hope it brings you the same clarity it gave me when I hit record and finally decided to be real.

Sometimes beauty is just a mask that's painted on. Polished, and perfected to hide the horrors beneath.
