Podcasts about Polite

You might be surprised to learn that Mickey Mouse is not held in high esteem by The Smithsonian. There’s one museum exhibit that describes Steamboat Willie as a vestige of long-standing traditions of a blackface minstrel show. That revelation came during a congressional hearing with Anthea Hartig, the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Mickey Mouse is racist? Now, that’s just goofy. Turns out the Smithsonian has all sorts of woke exhibits and ideology. Did you know that being polite is a form of white supremacy? Or that you can purchase a children’s story book that includes pictures of two boys lusting after each other? They also share Latino Power merchandise. To illustrate the absurdity – imagine the outrage if they sold White Power merch. What’s puzzling is why you can purchase gay-themed books at the Smithsonian gift shop – but you can’t purchase a copy of the two books that most influenced the Founding Fathers – the Holy Bible and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. How ironic that you can’t find common sense in The Smithsonian museums. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can simply believing a treatment will work actually help it work better? Surprisingly, yes. Researchers have found that your expectations can have a powerful effect on how your body responds to medication—even when the treatment itself hasn't changed. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/placebo-effect Most of us think of politeness as little more than saying "please" and "thank you." But good manners do much more than make social interactions pleasant. They help build trust, strengthen relationships, reduce conflict, and even influence how people judge our competence and character. So why are some people naturally more polite than others? Do the rules of politeness change depending on where you are or who you're talking to? And can you be blunt—or even rude—and still earn people's respect? Louise Mullany has spent more than 25 years studying the science of politeness. She is Professor of Sociolinguistics at the University of Nottingham and author of Polite: The Art of Communication at Home, at Work and in Public (https://amzn.to/3xVN9Jo). You can outsource your résumé, polish your LinkedIn profile, and even use AI to help write a cover letter. But when it's time for the interview, it's all on you. Too many candidates hope they'll "just answer the questions," only to discover they weren't nearly as prepared as they thought. Sam Owens explains what hiring managers are really looking for, the mistakes that immediately hurt your chances, and how a little preparation can dramatically improve your performance—whether you're interviewing in person or over Zoom. Sam is founder of Sam's Career Talk (https://www.samscareertalk.com/) and author of I Hate Job Interviews: Stop Stressing. Start Performing. Get the Job You Want (https://amzn.to/4f7xJSX). MSG has had a bad reputation for decades. Many people avoid it because they believe it's unhealthy or causes unpleasant reactions. But where did that belief come from? And does today's science actually support it?

Bruce & Gaydos explain why different generations see certain actions as polite or not.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga Pull up a chair and let's talk about something I've been exploring lately. It's the “depth of inquiry” that steers a nice essay into a memorable story. That sounds a bit academic, right? But here on Front Porch Friday© what it really means is the difference between just surviving your life, and actually understanding the truth of what you've lived through. Too often, as women, we get into the habit of just reporting the facts. We tell our stories like a laundry list of events. "I raised the kids, I worked the job, I did what was expected, and now I'm here." There's no story magic because you are missing. We do the same thing when we speak out loud to the world—we say what's polite, or what keeps the peace, instead of saying what we actually mean. Think about a moment where you had to say a hard "no" to someone, or maybe you finally picked up a hobby you abandoned years ago. The surface story is simple: "I was too busy for another commitment," or "I just wanted a new creative project." But looking deeper we feel the memorable story.  The truth is more than protecting your calendar or buying art supplies; you realized that your time and your passions don't belong to everyone else anymore. You decided that you are finally ready to be seen and heard exactly as you are, without adapting yourself so others feel comfortable. That shift right there? That is “depth of inquiry.” It's stopping the report and starting the investigation, the exciting archeological dig on your life. Story Prompt: As you go about your day, take a deep look past the surface of your own daily routine as if gazing into a wishing well. Don't just report the facts of your life to yourself. Find the glimmering coins of a deeper truth under the surface; write that story and share it out loud! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Most interviews sound the same.Safe questions. Predictable answers. Polite agreement.But every now and then, something different happens.A moment of silence.An unexpected question.A shift in energy that makes everyone lean in.In this episode, I sit down with Alfie Joey – former BBC presenter – to explore what actually makes an interview memorable.Alfie has interviewed prime ministers, celebrities and business leaders. We talk about why over-preparation can make you more natural, how one repeated question can break through any defence, and why the best interviewers never make it about themselves.Alfie shares stories from the field – from interviewing Peter Mandelson in a completely unexpected way, to creating a room-wide “chocolate moment,” to asking one simple question that left an entire audience in silence.If you host a podcast or want to have better conversations, this episode will change how you think about asking questions.What You'll Learn:- How to create (or spot) powerful interview moments- The danger of putting yourself in the story- How to challenge guests without confrontation- Why most questions lead nowhere – and how to fix that- The simple LinkedIn trick to make interviews freshIn This Episode:04:08 – The Power of Over-Preparation08:00 – Interviewing Peter Mandelson 12:27 – The LinkedIn Trick for Better Questions16:54 – Why Listening Is the #1 Skill18:30 – Never Put Yourself in the Story23:30 – The Chocolate Interview Moment29:35 – Following the Audience, Not the Plan50:47 – Why You Must Watch Your RecordingsIf you want to run better interviews – and better conversations – this episode is for you.We hope you enjoy it.———————Connect with Alfie: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alfie-speakeasyguy-joey/ Website: https://alfiejoey.com/

There are two types of racism in the west: the kind that's considered acceptable in polite liberal society, and the kind that's widely frowned upon. The acceptable type of racism is the kind which considers it fine and normal to drop bombs on Muslim families overseas. The kind which sees starvation sanctions as a minor issue whose pros and cons are assessed solely on the basis of whether they will be successful or unsuccessful in achieving regime change. The kind which views imperialist extraction from the global south as the natural order of the world, with centrists and progressives squabbling only about how evenly that plunder should be distributed among westerners. The unacceptable type of racism is the kind which affects other westerners. The kind whose consequences western liberals have to see. Reading by Tim Foley.

Let me start with a piece of paper. Early in the twentieth century a printed rate card circulated among the opera houses of Italy, a schedule of charges from a claque, one of the applause brigades that worked the great houses of Europe. Approval came in grades, and the grades came at prices. Polite appreciation cost little. Insistence cost more. Down at the luxury end, for a wild ovation at any cost, the price became a sum to be arranged. A psychologist named Robert Cialdini reprinted that tariff decades later in his study of social proof, where it sits among the laboratory findings like a fossil among X-rays, the same animal at two stages of preservation.Now move forward a hundred years. A company in West Palm Beach sold the same product from a drop-down menu, five hundred followers for ten dollars, more than two hundred million of them moved before a newspaper took the operation apart in 2018. The invoice was older than the empire that first printed it.

John sits down with Beau Vore to hear about his radio show and how God is using it to point people to Jesus. They talk about sticky issues like AI, aliens, even Melchizedek, and try to help engage people with God's Word. Beau does not hold back in how he believes every Christian can similarly be a domino in making disciples.To learn more about The Tabernacle, visit: https://thetabchurch.com

This concept may get a chuckle or two. However, this operating tenant is often times skimmed over in the board rooms and training rooms. The customer experience is set on the right axis if the vendor displays genuine politeness. This is especially important in the first 30 seconds of a business relationship. Starting the transaction, and continuing the transaction with the common thread of politeness will enhance positive reviews for each customer experience. It's simple, yet grossly overlooked. Maybe it's time to find out what your customers think of you? Don't be shy… ask the question and be prepared to be a little shocked.Support the show

If being direct feels mean, this episode is for you....Many women are taught from a young age to be agreeable, accommodating, and keep the peace. Then they step into leadership and discover that clarity, accountability, and difficult conversations are part of the job. That tension can make leadership feel uncomfortable....In this episode, Marie Sonnemann breaks down why directness often feels so hard for women, how passive communication creates more anxiety than clarity, and why avoiding conflict doesn't make you kind, it makes you unclear....You'll learn:Why directness is often the kinder leadership choiceHow passive-aggressive communication damages trustWhat employees really need during difficult conversations.The difference between being nice and being clearWhy strong leaders create clarity while weak leaders create confusionHow to stop worrying about being perceived as "too much" and start leading with confidenceMarie also shares a personal story about navigating a grumpy week, the power of resetting when you're off your game, and why getting back up after a setback is one of the most badass things you can do....If you've ever softened your message, over-explained yourself, or worried that being direct would make people dislike you, this conversation will challenge the way you think about leadership and communication....Because leadership isn't about being harsh. It's about respecting people enough to tell them the truth.

In this week's episode, we're talking about why women struggle to talk about money — and how that silence can hold us back in business. Inspired by Emma Grede's book Start With Yourself, we break down the conditioning that teaches women to stay quiet about finances, and how that impacts pricing, negotiating, paying ourselves, and owning our success. We also cover the key business numbers every owner should know — revenue, expenses, profit, break-even point, and owner pay — and why understanding them gives you the confidence to make better decisions and advocate for your worth. This episode is a reminder that knowing your numbers isn't selfish or bragging — it's power!

In this episode, Dr. K explores the science of flirting and romantic connection, revealing why most people find it so frustrating and inconsistent. He breaks down the psychological theory of play, the five distinct styles of flirting, and why maintaining plausible deniability is the most vital feature of any romantic interaction. What to expect in this episode: The Plausible Deniability Rule: Understanding why flirting is intentionally designed to be ambiguous to maintain social safety and avoid being perceived as "creepy". The Detection Gap: A look at research showing that humans are 84% accurate at sensing a lack of interest, but only correctly identify flirting 28% of the time. Five Styles of Flirting: A breakdown of the Traditional, Physical, Sincere, Playful, and Polite archetypes and how to identify which style you and your partner prefer. Hygiene vs. Genetics: Why scientific data suggests that bad hygiene and a "slimy" approach are far more significant deal breakers than having "poor looks". The Power of Awkwardness: Why showing embarrassment after a rejection is actually a positive empathic signal that proves you respect boundaries and care about the other person. Negativity Bias in Dating: How low self-esteem creates a filter that causes you to interpret 70% of ambiguous signals as negative, leading to a cycle of perceived failure. Neurodivergence and Ambiguity: Why those on the autism spectrum struggle with flirting due to its reliance on non-verbal "theory of mind" rather than rigid, logical rules. The Sequence of Flirting: A deep dive into how signaling availability often serves as the necessary first step before a successful approach can happen.

October 7 and the Gaza war radically changed the way many people around the world, including Diaspora Jews, viewed Israel. For Toronto-based journalist Jesse Brown, the turning point came not with Hamas' massacre itself, but with the domestic backlash that followed. “Canadians got angry with Jews after October 7, and the entire national discourse seemed to just turn against Jews in a way that I wouldn’t have imagined possible,” he told the Haaretz Podcast. Using police-reported hate crime statistics from Canada and the United States, Brown argues that a Jew in Canada is now about nine times more likely to be the victim of a hate crime than a Jew in the United States. Ironically, he explained to podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer, the progressive political atmosphere in Canada has made things worse for Jews, not better. Brown’s podcast series “What is Happening Here” documents the skyrocketing antisemitism targeting Jewish institutions and neighborhoods in Canada, including synagogues being shot at, firebombed or vandalized, and Jewish-owned businesses and individuals singled out for harassment campaigns. Brown contends that debates over whether specific chants or actions are “anti-Israel,” “anti-Zionist” or “antisemitic” obscure the practical impact on Jewish communities. While he stops short of equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism, Brown said that contemporary anti-Zionism is “just as dangerous to Jews.” Read more: Canadian Watchdog Reports Record Number of Antisemitic Incidents in 2025 Canadian-Jewish Groups Decry Efforts by pro-Palestinian Groups to Strip Jewish Schools of Their Charity Status Toronto Police Arrest Suspect in Passover Shooting at Jewish-owned Restaurant Campaign Targeting Jewish Children's Summer Camps in Canada Condemned as AntisemiticSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A TON people talk about real estate. They actually did it. In this episode, we sit down with Dedric Polite and Krystal Polite, the husband and wife duo behind Polite Properties and stars of the hit show 50/50 Flip. They break down how they went from corporate jobs and zero experience… to building a real estate portfolio of nearly 100 doors, launching multiple businesses, and creating true financial freedom for their family.    We dive into the early days of investing over $25,000 into education before closing a single deal, the moment they finally broke through with their first wholesale checks, and how one deal turned into over six figures and completely changed their trajectory. They also share how they used real estate as a vehicle to fund bigger opportunities including leveraging one property into launching a franchise business and why real estate is just the starting point, not the end goal.    This episode goes beyond strategy. It is about mindset, partnership, and taking action before you feel ready. You will hear how they divided roles as a couple, why “jump and build your wings on the way down” became their philosophy, and how they are building generational wealth with intention so their kids don't just inherit money… they inherit the mindset that created it. If you've been waiting for the “right time” to start… this is your sign that it's already here.   Polite's Free Deal Flow Bundle: https://politewealthportal.com/dealflowbundle?contact_id=0mrrWePS5n5CxH1atXPc Book your call with Neo Home Loanshttps://www.neoentrepreneurhomeloans.com/wealthjuice/ Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comThis weekend, on the advice of ChatGPT, I visited Constable country. That is Essex, the villages of Dedham and East Bergholt, by the River Stour, which John Constable so famously painted.Having just spent a fortnight in Namibia, I've become attuned to stunning landscapes. Even so, I was blown away by the beauty of the place.Here are some snaps to get you in the zone.I went with a French friend who wanted to see the “real England”, but not too far from Stansted Airport.As we drove into East Bergholt, I began, as I always do as soon as I see them, to despair at the ugliness of modern buildings. No wonder we have so many NIMBYs, when what gets built around beautiful villages is so bland and ugly. Objection is both rational and natural.But then we turned a corner and everything was suddenly stunning.It's not a part of the world I knew. I had lazily assumed all of Essex looked like Basildon. It doesn't. It was glorious. You could really see the Dutch and Flemish influence in the architecture and the colours they were painted - so different to the equally beautiful Cotswolds, where I was last weekend doing gigs.We were only sixty miles from London, but it still felt like an England of old, unblighted.My French companion could not understand what I had been moaning about when I complain about decline. This was the England she knew growing up, and she got excited by everything. Scones. Tea. Churches. Beautiful landscapes. Polite conversation. Phone boxes. Properly kept gardens. Even the beer. “It's not cold,” she said, before promptly downing it.My oft-cited complaint that the England she knew is disappearing seemed nonsense. There was no evidence of it here.As we walked into Manningtree, the buildings got ugly again. Warehouses and industrial buildings, in particular. Nineteenth century warehouses were often things of beauty. Why can 21st century warehouses not be? (The answer lies in our system of measurement, but that's for another day).Then we learnt about Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfinder General, who operated here, exploiting the social upheaval of the English Civil War to have hundreds of women executed as witches. Among his methods of getting to the “truth” he used sleep deprivation to extract confessions; he tied victims to chairs and dropped them into the estuary. If they floated, they were witches. If they sank, they weren't. I guess the victims lost either way. He strip-searched women looking for signs of the mark of the devil. If he couldn't find any he pricked them with knives until he found the signs he was looking for. Just horrible. Maybe the English past isn't quite so idyllic after all.Here's what makes it worse. For every witch he successfully hunted down, the government gave him fee. He got very rich. Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome. A lot of innocent dead women. An early gruesome example of the law of unintended consequences. Remind me why I'm a libertarian again.Today, if we are heading into the civil war many think we are, who knows what kind of witch hunts we are going to see in the name of some nuts ideology?We caught a train from Mistley back to Manningtree. More grim modern housing. Lots of it too. More walking then a short river boat tour. We mentioned we were staying at a village up the road, East Bergholt, and one of the locals declared this was the last chance to enjoy it before more new-build goes up. “We need 1.5 million homes,” he said. “The question is, do we have 1.5 million people who are going to buy them?”Articulated right there is the property crisis coming to a town near you.I have long argued that beautiful property will keep its value. Ugly new build won't. Beautiful is pretty much synonymous with period. It was built using traditional measures, where proportion is intrinsic. No such proportion is inherent to metric. We are already seeing the unravelling of the new-build market in London. That unravelling is coming to everywhere there is ugly new build, whether blocks of flats or houses. We did find one modern close in East Bergholt that was actually beautiful by the way. So it's possible. But it's the exception, not the rule.This is one of the reasons I invest so much of my capital outside the UK. I don't like sterling, so I hold gold and bitcoin, and I don't like gilts. A weakening property market, which is happening right on cue, will create problems for both.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.Idyllic corners of England do still exist. Many of them. UK shares already offer value. There is a lot to like in the UK, as my French companion kept pointing out. But there are also big problems ahead, with a leadership class that, shall we say, falls short.Opportunities abroad, howeverI sit regularly on a roundtable with Doug Casey and a number of other mining newsletter writers. A company presents. The experts grill them. The company logs off, and then we discuss it.I liked this week's so much I bought shares while the presentation was still happening. The company is …

He nearly quit after 7 months. Zero placements. Nothing working. He packed his things into a cardboard box, walked toward the door, and heard his colleagues talking about him behind his back. What they said stopped him. He turned around, sat back down, and made two placements by the end of that week. That was 1982. He never left. In this episode, Rich breaks down the daily habits behind 44 years of consistent billings. He's used the handwritten planner for nearly 40 years. Why does he track talk time instead of call volume? And the old-school business development strategy most recruiters have abandoned. Rich is the founder of Team Bradley and a Pinnacle Society member for nearly 30 years. He's billed $28 million personally. At 67, working solo alongside his wife, he's still going strong. This isn't about talent. It's about cadence, commitment, and building a career you actually want to keep. If you're wondering whether you can sustain this long term, this episode will change how you think about the business.

In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with real estate investors Dedric and Krystal Polite to talk about what it really takes to build generational wealth—and why most people never get started. Like many aspiring investors, they had the books, the education, and the desire—but it wasn't until they took action that everything changed . Today, they've built a thriving real estate business, starred in their own TV show, and are focused on helping others create long-term wealth through investing. In this conversation, they break down the difference between earning income and building lasting wealth, why they use wholesaling and flipping to generate cash—but rely on buy-and-hold rentals to create true financial freedom—and how they're intentionally building a legacy for their family. They also share what it's like to build a business as a couple, how they divide roles to make it work, and why teaching their kids about money and ownership is a core part of their mission. This episode is a powerful reminder that no one is coming to build your wealth for you. But with the right mindset, the right strategy, and a willingness to take action, it's possible to create financial freedom that lasts for generations. ☀️

What is a polite way to say “I have to poop” as a woman?

In this episode, I break down the consequences of being too polite in your business, and how giving clear directions supports smarter decisions and sustainable small business growth.Most businesses assume customers instinctively know what to do next, but I've seen time and again that politeness and vague invitations like, "reach out anytime," actually create confusion and hurt website conversion. I dive into the psychology behind decision paralysis, sharing why loading up your website or marketing with too many options overwhelms your audience rather than serves them. You'll hear some real-world examples (like the classic restaurant menu meltdown) that illustrate how clarity, not more choices, is the secret to moving customers forward. We'll explore practical website strategy tips that help you balance being inviting without coming across as pushy. I'll show you what it looks like to give your homepage, service pages, and calls to action just one job each, making every next step obvious and easy for your visitors, and maximizing your website conversion along the way.Whether you run a service-based or local business, you'll walk away with concrete steps to streamline your website, create clear invitations, and eliminate the friction that's been quietly stalling your growth.01:38 – How too many options create decision paralysis03:34 – Why your customers need permission to take the next step06:46 – Why your website needs one job per page 08:57 – Matching your call to action to where your customer is12:20 – Action steps to create clear direction and maximize website conversionLinks & Resources:The 3-second test (free!)Watch this episode on YouTube.Follow me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co Let's talk about your website and systems: Book a Website Gameplan Call Explore your options for working together: Web Design Services Rate & review Small Business Savvy on Apple PodcastsShow Notes: https://kristendoyle.co/episode180 Send us a text!
