Q4 is the graveyard for lazy marketing. Every year, business owners crank out more posts, flood their feeds, and wonder why nothing sticks. It's not about more volume. It's about strategy, intention, and execution. And if you miss that in Q4, you're already behind.In this episode, Stoy Hall and Kristina Hall rip apart the myths the “experts” keep pushing. We tackle why Q4 is the toughest quarter of the year, how ad spend spikes and engagement plummets, and why throwing AI-generated junk into the world is only adding to the noise. We dig into rage-bait culture, the obsession with daily posting, and the lie that you need to be everywhere at once.We go deeper than tactics. We talk about mindset. Why business owners chase trends instead of building stories that actually connect. Why stock photos and polished nonsense won't move the needle. Why you need KPIs that matter, not vanity metrics. And why, if you don't already have a Q4 plan, you better make one this week or risk starting next year scrambling.This is not another “social media hacks” episode. This is the no-bullshit breakdown of what's working, what's dead, and what you should be doing right now to cut through the chaos.If you're tired of wasting time chasing algorithms, if you're ready to hear the truth about how to actually use social to grow your business, this is your wake-up call.Listen now, then watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/KeVp7aHgAnk Learn more at blackmammoth.comWelcome to the No BS Wealth Podcast with Stoy Hall, your candid guide to financial clarity.

Welcome! Before you hit play, let me ask you this: What would your business look like if LinkedIn stopped being a noisy feed and started acting like your smartest sales partner? Imagine waking up to a calendar filled with qualified calls—not because you spent hours posting and praying, but because a system quietly worked behind the scenes, turning connections into conversations. That's the world we're stepping into today—a world where strategy beats hustle, and AI becomes more than a tool; it becomes your co-pilot for growth.In this episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, Joe Apfelbaum, founder of evyAI, opens up about a challenge every entrepreneur knows too well: do you keep grinding endlessly, or is there a smarter way to build your pipeline? You'll hear how one simple mindset shift—seeing AI as a true business partner—can flip scattered hustle into real momentum that actually shows up on your calendar. This conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss!Key highlights:A smarter approach to LinkedIn AI lead generation that prioritizes relationships over random reach.How an AI sales assistant for LinkedIn can handle the heavy lifting while keeping your voice authentic.Why social selling LinkedIn AI is the missing link between posting and profit.A peek into LinkedIn hacks for B2B that even LinkedIn insiders respect.And the game-changing role of AI agents for B2B prospecting in surfacing insights you didn't know you needed.If you've ever thought, “I'm posting, but where are the calls?”—this story nudges you toward the answer, then lets the full playbook unfold in your ears. Hit play and follow the breadcrumbs.

Everyone knows the names Knakal, Santomassimo, and Azor… but do you know the woman behind their content?In this episode, we sit down with Mo Regalado, founder of Movo Media, and her content strategist Fly Jamerson, to pull back the curtain on how CRE's most respected professionals build their online presence — and how you can too.We talk:

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.What happens when a man's world collapses beneath him? When Jason Tuttle found his 15-year-old son Zachary unresponsive that January morning in 2022, he couldn't have known how completely his life would transform. After twelve years as a stay-at-home father caring for two children with multiple disabilities, including one with an extremely rare condition, Jason was suddenly thrust into a grief journey few men openly discuss.The silence surrounding male grief is deafening. While racing his son to the hospital that morning, Jason had no way to prepare for what would follow—the medical team's frantic 45-minute resuscitation attempt, the moment he realized his son wouldn't return, and the heartbreaking call to his wife. "I'll never forget the sound that came out of her," Jason recalls, a raw moment that underscores the ripple effects of profound loss.What makes Jason's story extraordinary isn't just the depth of his loss, but his willingness to shatter conventional masculinity by documenting his grief journey openly. Through "Letters to Zachary," the community he created after reluctantly following his therapist's suggestion to journal, Jason provides something tragically rare: a space where grieving fathers can express vulnerability without judgment. His Facebook page, website, and speaking engagements offer both men and women insight into the unique challenges men face when processing loss.Key moments in this episode:02:37 Meet Jason Tuttle: A Father's Story06:34 The Aftermath and Coping Mechanisms20:37 The Healing Process: Writing and Community24:19 Posting the First Letter29:24 The Male Grief Commandments36:02 Faith and Grief42:40 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysHow to reach Jason:Website: www.LettersToZachary.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552174684952Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letterstozachary2022/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@letterstozachary2022Book: Letters to ZacharySupport the showThanks for listening to the Revolutionary Man Podcast.

The recent energy crisis has rippled out to the big companies, with Meridian the latest to take a significant financial hit. Meridian Energy recently confirmed a $452-million-dollar loss, after being hit by periods of low wind, two major droughts, and a shortage of gas. CEO Mike Roan says the company's been through a tough year, but they managed to shield customers from the high prices. "We took a hit, no question about that - but we kept the lights on, so electricity flowed to people." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you ever feel like you're putting so much effort into your marketing, but your messaging just isn't connecting with your ideal clients? You're continuing to show up. Posting daily. Creating great offers. Doing all of the “right” things. But instead of attracting your ideal clients (the ones who value your work and ready to invest)... you're hearing crickets. In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, we're breaking down exactly why your message isn't landing and how to start speaking in your dream client's language so you can consistently attract aligned clients without shouting louder or burning out. Here's What You'll Learn in this Episode:  Why trying to appeal to everyone dilutes your message and leaves you resonating with no one. How niching down helps you attract clients who are ready to work with you (and pay you what you're worth). The fears that hold business owners back from narrowing their focus… and how to overcome them. How to reflect on your ideal client's own words back to them so your message lands instantly (and have them say, “That's exactly what I was thinking!” The power of painting the before and after in your marketing so clients see themselves immediately in your offers. Why focusing on vanity metrics (followers, likes, list size) keeps you stuck, and what to focus on instead. Two case studies of members inside the HerBusiness Network who completely transformed their businesses after getting crystal clear on their ideal client and refining their messaging. If you have ever asked yourself…  “Why don't my dream client see the value of what I offer?”“Do I just need more followers or more reach before getting my ideal clients?”“What if I niche down but pick the WRONG audience??”  …Then this episode will help you finally get clarity and start creating messaging that connects.

This week, we're joined by Dr Jazz Tehara, a clinical psychologist and lecturer based in the UK, to talk about the proliferation of AI in the therapeutic process, and the ways in which it might be undermining established therapeutic practices, to the detriment of patients and clinicians. We focus on two recent stories – one of a woman whose AI convinced her that her psychotherapist was in love with her, and another of a man whose AI convinced him he had invented a new kind of mathematics, and in doing so, alienated him from his family members. Both stories pose the same question: What happens when a patient trusts, and feels safer around an AI chatbot than the people in their community who want to help them?

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm joined by Bree Groff, consultant, writer, and author of Today Was Fun. We talk about why mischief belongs at work, how humor and flirtation create real psychological safety, and the bold design choices behind her unforgettable book cover. Bree shares how she moved from CEO roles to full creative freedom, and how that shift helped her find her voice. We discuss marketing in 2025, how AI might reshape work and writing, and why personal agency, not hours, is the most important lever in a workweek.  Bree offers practical insights for leading with joy, helping kids future-proof their lives, and deciding what's “enough” in a world that always demands more. She also reflects on writing the book while parenting, consulting, and building her own business, and what it means to embrace the joy of not knowing what comes next. Bree will also be joining us live at Responsive Conference 2025, and I'm thrilled for you to hear her on stage. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, get them here. Books Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art — Lewis Hyde Anansi Boys — Neil Gaiman Work Less, Do More: Designing the 4-Day Week — Alex Pang Shorter: Work Better, Smarter, and Less―Here's How — Alex Pang Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less — Alex Pang Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work that Lasts — Ryan Holiday Today Was Fun — Bree Groff The 4-Hour Workweek —Tim Ferriss Responsive: What It Takes to Create a Thriving Organization — Robin Zander Podcasts/Videos TED Talk: How to Start a Movement — Derek Sivers Start (0:00) The Story Behind the Book Cover (00:07.822) Robin opens with a personal observation: Bree's nails are the exact shade of green as her book cover – a smiley face on a highlighter yellow-green background.  Bree laughs and explains the choice behind the bold, offbeat cover: It was designed by Rodrigo Corral, known for iconic covers like The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck*. When she first saw it (at 3 a.m.), she gasped and loved it — it stood out and made a statement. The smiley is cheeky but not cheesy; it suggests optimism with a bite. The color isn't quite yellow — it's that “gross green” that almost hurts to look at. That tension is the point. “It's got some edge... not your straight-up yellow.” This tension – bright and fun, but just a bit weird or off –  is exactly the tone she wanted for the book and for herself. The Wink That Makes Work Fun Again (01:51) Robin brings up his old graduation photo: he posed slightly off-center, adding a knowing smirk. At the time, he didn't know why he chose that shot, but later realized it made people curious, like a small rebellion baked into something formal. Bree relates completely. She talks about: Why humor and a bit of mischief matter in professional settings. The concept of flirtation – not romantic, but playful: A wink in a branding campaign. A reference that only a few insiders get. A running joke between team members. Mischief creates risk and intimacy, both essential for real connection. These small acts of rebellion are actually signs of psychological safety and creativity. “You need a little bit of flirtation at work... a wink that says, ‘we're in this together.'” She argues that fun isn't a distraction – it's a sign that something is working. Tricksters, SNAFUs, and the Role of Risk in Work (05:49.219) Robin brings in the idea of the trickster, from folklore characters like Anansi and Coyote to his podcast title SNAFU. These figures don't follow the rules, and that's what makes them interesting. Bree expands on the connection between play and professionalism: There's a cultural script that says “seriousness = competence.” But in her experience, some of the best work moments involve play, risk, and even slight embarrassment. Being human together – laughing too loud, saying something weird, trying something bold – is what builds bonds. Real joy at work comes from these edge moments, not the sanitized ones. “You have to go beyond professionalism to access the most fun parts of work.” They agree that creating spaces where people can color outside the lines is not just fun – it's productive. Beyond Palatable: From People-Pleasing to Belonging (08:29.068) Robin shares a lesson from his mother: that once you leave high school, life is no longer a popularity contest. But he's realized that in business, especially branding, people often still chase approval and “likability.” Bree offers a deeper lens: Being “palatable” – meaning universally acceptable – is actually the opposite of being memorable. People who try to please everyone end up blending in. What she wants is to be delicious, or at least striking, not for everyone, but unforgettable to some. She draws a line between Fitting in: performing a version of yourself to meet social norms. Belonging: being your full, vibrant self and finding others who welcome it. “Please don't chew me up. I'm not palatable — I'm not trying to be.” This philosophy shows up in her book's voice, design, and in how she shows up in the world. Selling a Book in 2025: Bottles in the Ocean (12:21.838) What's it been like trying to promote a book in 2025? Bree describes her strategy as both scrappy and intuitive: She thinks of book marketing as sending “a million notes in bottles” – not knowing which will land. Her approach includes: Partnering with a publicist. Creating swag kits with branded gear. Pitching the book to “chatty” communities (e.g., alumni groups, newsletters, podcast audiences). Posting regularly, even when it feels silly. She cites the idea of “luck surface area”: the more interesting things you do, and the more people you tell, the more chances something will stick. “You do interesting things and talk about them a lot... and maybe something takes off.” Still, she acknowledges that luck plays a role. There's no guaranteed playbook, just momentum and hope. Is It Worth Talking About? (14:47.63) Robin references a quote from Tucker Max: that all marketing, in the end, is just word-of-mouth. Bree shares what guided her during the writing process: Her goal was to create something remarkable — in the literal sense: Something people would want to talk about. Not just good – but distinct, resonant, and weird enough to share. She wanted to avoid the “business book voice” – flat, generic, overly polished. She lights up when she talks about: Strangers sharing the book on social. Friends are texting her about it. An old college boyfriend resurfaced after reading it. “When that starts happening... You realize the machine is working.” She's less interested in best-seller lists and more focused on impact – ideas spreading from person to person, because they hit. Finding Her Voice: From Blogger to Book Author (16:36.665) Bree traces the evolution of her writing life: Started a travel blog in her early 20s and loved it immediately. Played with writing publicly over the years: occasional posts on LinkedIn, Fast Company, and later Substack (which began two years ago, alongside early book ideation). Writing always felt natural, but being a public voice within organizations came with constraints: “Even when I was CEO, I still felt the need to toe the party line.” Going solo changed everything: No longer represents a company's brand – just her own. Writing feels more honest, bolder, and more fun when it's “Bree Groff's opinions” alone. Stepping out independently accelerated her writing voice and gave her creative freedom. Writing in the Age of AI (18:19.63) Robin asks: Does writing still matter in the world of AI? Bree's take: She's a verbal processor — writing is how she discovers what she believes. “I never know how an article is going to end… I write my way into the idea.” She rarely uses AI in writing (aside from Grammarly). She prefers human composition even for emails. Writing helps her organize and refine her thinking: “I'll write a sentence and go – wait, do I believe that? And rewrite.” What writing offers that AI can't (yet): Emotional authenticity. A confessional power — like stand-up comedy: humans telling uncomfortable truths, out loud. She hopes we'll someday have digital labels like: “This was made by a human.” Robin presses for Bree's take on what AI changes – for better or worse. Bree's pessimistic view: Mass unemployment is a likely risk. Not convinced by the “tech creates more jobs” argument – even referencing Jevons Paradox: as things become more efficient, we just use more of them. “I can't quite think my way out of the unemployment problem.” Bree's optimistic vision: We're burned out. AI could fix that. If used right, AI can reduce workloads, not eliminate humans: “Wouldn't it be great if we used these efficiencies to help people live happy, regulated lives?” This would require a policy change, like tax incentives for companies that adopt a 4-day workweek. But she admits: that's a long shot. “It would take a lot for companies to prioritize reducing burnout over cutting costs.” Entrepreneurship Isn't a 4-Day Workweek (And That's Okay) (25:04.686) Robin challenges Bree's hope with reality: Entrepreneurship is chaotic and demanding, as when he launched both a restaurant and a conference in one year. When building something from scratch, the work is relentless. “There's no 4-day workweek when you're going zero to one.” He notes Bree's book could become a “perennial seller,” but only if she builds that momentum now — and that means hustle. Bree agrees — and offers nuance: She's in a launch phase. The last 6 weeks have been intense: Nights, weekends, articles, appearances. Her daughter is in a full-day camp to support this push. But it's intentional and temporary. She frames her philosophy like this: Overwork can be fun, energizing, even addictive –  if it's seasonal. She's already planned recovery: A two-week log-off in late August. A blocked-out first week of September for reset. Bree continues on the myth of “reasonable” work limits: There's nothing special about 40 or 60 hours. The only reason we cap out is that we literally run out of time. Businesses will take as much as you give, and now AI won't hit those limits. So we have to decide what's enough, not the market. “If we're going to cap work somewhere, why not cap it lower and enjoy our lives?” She reminds us: Deadlines and pace are levers, not laws. You can pull other levers, like starting earlier, extending timelines, or balancing your team differently. Robin shares that his intense physical regimen (handstands, running, cold plunges, hikes) isn't about health prescriptions — it's about joy. That same mindset applies to work. If building his company lights him up, great – but it's a personal choice, not a universal blueprint. Bree underscores that agency is key: the danger arises when a founder's choice to overwork becomes the cultural expectation for everyone else. A CEO has different stakes than employees; assuming equal sacrifice is unfair and toxic. Overwork becomes problematic when choice is removed or social pressure distorts it. They introduce the idea of opportunity cost: Every hour spent grinding is an hour not spent with loved ones, moving your body, or simply resting. Many delay self-care with the illusion they'll "catch up later" – but your body and relationships exist in the now. Robin recalls a brutal 2016: two startups, no time, lost relationships – a visceral reminder that everything has a cost. Work, But Make It Weird (36:39) Robin draws a parallel between their playful ethos and The 4-Hour Workweek: redefining productivity with mischief and authenticity. He asks Bree how leaders can lead differently – more playfully – without violating norms or HR policies. Bree delivers a gem: Her team once suggested that a CEO explain their product to a bunch of 7-year-olds on a picnic blanket. They scripted techy questions ("What's your tech stack?") for the kids, hired a comedy consultant, and filmed the whole thing. It was wild, unexpected… and the most beloved part of an otherwise traditional company week. The magic was in the vulnerability and humanity of the CEO — letting people into his home, sharing space with kids, and showing joy. Bree's advice to leaders: Rearrange the office furniture for no reason. Use Comic Sans in a slide just to annoy a designer. Hide jokes in presentations that only two people will catch. Amuse yourself. That's reason enough, and it models psychological safety and play for everyone else. Robin calls this “the courage to play” – the bravery to step out of line just enough to invite others into the fun. Bree builds on this: We're often afraid that having fun will make us look stupid – but that fear is misplaced. She quotes Amy Poehler: “Nobody looks stupid when they're having fun.” Play is an act of self-assurance, not frivolity. Bree shares a personal win: she turned a project Gantt chart into a hand-drawn arcade-style horse race. No one else joined in, but she loved it. And that joy, in and of itself, is a worthy output. Work According to a 10-Year-Old (42:21.176) Robin asks: How does Bree's daughter describe what she does? Her answer? “You help people work together.” Bree beams — that's not far off. Her daughter has even become her little publicist, linking nail polish to Bree's book and promoting it to strangers. Robin dreams of having kids and wonders about their future in a rapidly evolving world. Bree is grateful her daughter is 10, not 22 – the future feels so uncertain that not knowing is oddly freeing. College may or may not matter; she might be a marketing manager or start an artist retreat in Tuscany. The one stable prediction? Human connection. Jobs built on empathy, presence, and the hug – literal or metaphorical – will always have value. Robin jokes (but not really) about resisting the idea of robot romantic partners. Bree wonders: Will we be seen as biased for resisting AI companionship? Is that the next generational tension? The Only Skill That Might Still Matter in 2040 (43:55.959) Robin asks: What durable skills should Gen Alpha learn in a world of AI and noise? Bree's first thought: “understanding human behavior” — but AI might already be better at that. So she lands on something deeper: The skill of knowing what kind of life you want to lead. It's rarely taught, and sorely needed. That's why so many people wake up at 40, mid-career, with a law degree but no love for the law, and end up switching to something that finally feels like them. Teaching kids to listen to their appetites and curiosities might be the most powerful, future-proof education we can offer. Bree argues that most people were never taught to ask foundational questions about the life they truly want: From childhood to college, we follow preset tracks – curriculum, majors, careers. If you're lucky, you get an elective or two. But real self-inquiry? Rare. We're missing education on key lifestyle preferences: What kind of schedule do I like? What kind of people energize me? Do I want to live in a city or near nature? How much solitude, structure, or chaos is ideal for me? Bree believes this underdeveloped self-awareness is the root cause of burnout: People follow “the path,” get promoted, tick boxes, and still feel unsatisfied. Companies gladly fill the vacuum with corporate ladders and titles – senior director, VP, etc. But we rarely stop to ask: Do I want my boss's job? Her hope for her daughter: not just career success, but aliveness. To develop the instincts and courage to ask: What do I want to get out of my short time here? And to find joy in helping others experience a bit more light while they're here, too. “Who Are You and What Is Your Purpose?” (51:33.666) Robin shares a surprising memory: a third-grade class titled Who Are You and What Is Your Purpose? He doesn't remember the content – school was tough for him then – but the title stuck. It captured something real and deep that still resonates. Bree lights up: “Okay, I take it all back – someone was teaching this, and it was you!” They land on a core truth: that mischief, self-knowledge, and authenticity are deeply intertwined. Knowing who you are is the first step. And honoring the weird, playful part of yourself makes life better — and work richer. Order, Chaos & a Trello Board (53:51) Robin pivots: What did Bree learn about writing through this book, especially while juggling parenting and client work? Bree shares her full process: She started with a Trello board: each list represented a chapter. Over many months, she collected bits of inspiration: ideas from the shower, great quotes, Substack entries, research snippets – all filed as cards. This meant when it came time to write, she wasn't starting from scratch. Her trick: separate idea collection from prose creation. Once she had a "pile of disorganized meat," she could stitch it together with intention. She scheduled 4-hour blocks to write ~1,000 words per session – 50 sessions = a 50,000-word book. She was thoughtful about pacing and reader experience: "That was a heavy part – maybe time for a joke. "I've been light for a while – maybe we need some grounding research." The outcome: a process that respected her creativity, time, and humanity. The Joy of Not Knowing What's Next (54:45.848) Robin asks: Now that the book is out, what's next? Bree doesn't know, and that feels exciting. She's booked through the fall with workshops, consulting, media, and speaking. But beyond that? It's open. She's leaning into serendipity: Publishing the book drew new, inspiring people into her life – people like Robin. She's open to building the classic “author-speaker-consultant” portfolio. Or possibly returning to SYPartners, depending on what fits. Or a totally new path. What makes it possible? A jumpy career history – she's used to leaps. A baseline of financial stability – and a partner with a more predictable job. Uncertainty isn't terrifying when you trust yourself to figure it out. “I can see through October. That's enough.” Robin wraps with heartfelt praise: Few first books feel as personal and reflective of their author as Today Was Fun. Even fewer come with so many shared connections vouching not just for the content, but the author herself. Where to Find Bree Groff (58:13.58) He urges people to read the book and see Bree on stage at the Responsive Conference (Sept 17–18). Bree shares where to find her: Website: breegroff.com Substack, LinkedIn, Instagram – all linked from her site.

We got a round of updates around the room including Amy was worried about if she might have a disease because her cat was asking weird things around her trying to alert her. Morgan also gave an update on whether or not she is going to let a listener buy her shoes. And now Amy is worried about Morgan. We also finally heard back from the listener who got into a car wreck while trying to leave us a voicemail. It's not the update we were hoping for...Amy also took a test on the average ages we do. Lunchbox also brings in a clip from Morgan's podcast where he thinks she needs to pump the brakes after saying she thinks her boyfriend is 'the one'.
