Pumla says her colleague is having issues with her husband because whenever there’s a family birthday or special occasion, he posts pictures of his mom or siblings from his first wedding — but never from his current marriage. Now she’s asking… is this just harmless memories, or is it disrespectful to his current wife? At what point does “the past is the past” become “you’re still living in it Having only moved out of their grandmother’s house five months earlier, the renter was still figuring out the world of renting. They questioned the landlord, asking where in the lease it said working remotely was not allowed or that it justified a rent increase. After being asked to show the rule, the landlord allegedly stopped replying. People online were divided but many found the situation ridiculous, pointing out that working from home doesn’t automatically turn your apartment into an office. The tenant wasn’t seeing clients, storing stock, or running a company from the living room they were just doing their 9-to-5 job. Hang out with Anele and The Club on 947 every weekday morning.

Visibility is the Real Strategy (00:02:46) The speaker explains that filling retreats requires a comprehensive visibility strategy, not just social media marketing, including ads, SEO, and AI. Effective Calls to Action (CTAs) (00:04:02) Shannon discusses the importance of using clear CTAs in social media posts, like asking for engagement or offering lead magnets. Using Lead Magnets (00:05:20) An explanation of how to use lead magnets, like a free video or PDF, to capture email addresses and nurture leads. The Power of Blogging (00:07:20) Shannon emphasizes that blogging with a keyword strategy and FAQs is crucial for improving SEO and AI search rankings. Leveraging Pinterest for Visibility (00:10:25) Pinterest is highlighted as a visual search platform, not just social media, perfect for reaching people planning travel and self-improvement. Strategic Collaborations (00:12:33) Advice on collaborating with partners who have a warm, engaged audience that matches your ideal guest demographic for increased visibility. The Importance of Email Growth (00:13:53) The speaker stresses that growing an email list is essential, as it's a more effective sales tool than social media. Creating a Long Warm-Up Period (00:14:28) Shannon explains the necessity of a long warm-up period, sometimes up to two years, to build trust and excitement. A Successful Warm-Up Example (00:15:43) Shannon shares her personal success story of selling out a 2027 France retreat by using a long, strategic warm-up. Common Mistakes in Retreat Timing (00:17:35) The host points out the mistake of launching a retreat only a few months in advance, which is often unrealistic. The Investment of Hosting Retreats (00:20:00) Hosting profitable retreats requires an investment of time and money, and a comprehensive visibility strategy beyond just posting and praying. AI and SEO Mini-Course Offer (00:20:56) Shannon offers a special $17 mini-course on AI and SEO strategy, with prompts and videos, for podcast listeners.
I recently coached over 10 clients in just a couple of weeks, and I kept hearing the same thought patterns come up again and again. So I wanted to share them with you because if any of these have been creeping into your head, they might be exactly what's holding you back. Content success is way more psychological than most people think. The 5 Thoughts I See Sabotaging Clients (And How to Flip Them) 1. "I've Already Tried That" I hear this one all the time. "I tried reels, I tried carousels, I tried being vulnerable." But here's the truth: most of us have sampled a strategy, not actually tried it. Posting twice doesn't count. Have you posted 50 reels? Have you done 30 storytelling posts? Have you been consistent for three full months? Instead of "I've tried that," ask yourself: "Have I actually mastered this yet? Have I found my signature style in this format?" 2. "That Doesn't Work" This one is dangerous because the second you decide something doesn't work, you stop being curious about it and curiosity is what drives creativity. What you usually mean is, "that hasn't worked for me yet." Huge difference. While you're writing off talking videos, someone else is making a million dollars in a week with simple yapping-style content. The question I want you to ask instead: "What would need to happen for this to work?" 3. "I Can't Because ..." I don't have enough followers. My niche is too saturated. I have kids. I have a full-time job. I get it. But the moment you create a condition for your success, you create a reason to delay it. The goalpost just keeps moving. Instead, ask yourself: "How can I make this work despite my circumstances?" Because people are doing it with the same limitations you have. 4. The Frustration Loop Frustration narrows your thinking. Creativity expands it. When you're frustrated, you want immediate answers. When you're in a creative headspace, you want to explore, discover, and try again. Same flopped video, two totally different responses: "I'm done with this" vs. "Okay, interesting. Here's what I'm trying next." 5. Not Giving Content Enough Time Content doesn't have an end date. Even MrBeast, with hundreds of millions of subscribers, is still sitting down analyzing metrics trying to figure out how to grow. You're going to figure out your first 5K, then your 100K, then your first million, and there will always be a next level. So stop thinking of content as something you're going to "figure out and be done with." It's a forever practice, just like selling is in your business.

„Pro und Contra“ widmet sich heute in einer Schwerpunktsendung den Grenzen der Meinungsfreiheit in Österreich. Zuerst wird der Fall Peter Thiel behandelt. Ist es ein Kniefall vor der Cancel Culture? Nach heftigen Protesten haben die Wiener Festwochen den Auftritt von US-Milliardär Peter Thiel abgesagt. Ein notwendiges Zeichen oder ein Armutszeugnis für den freien Diskurs? Im zweiten Teil lautet das Thema: Teurer Klick: Droht die Klagswelle wegen eines „Gefällt mir“? Die Causa sorgt für massive Verunsicherung: Kann man in Österreich tatsächlich rechtlich belangt werden, nur weil man ein Posting in den sozialen Medien liked? Wo hört die freie Meinungsäußerung im Netz auf? Es diskutieren bei Manuela Raidl Florian Klenk (Chefredakteur „Falter“) und Manfred Ainedter (Strafverteidiger und Rechtsanwalt).

In this episode the Ward Radio crew reacts to a clip Senator Mike Lee posted just hours ago from Elder Neal A. Maxwell's October 10, 1978 BYU Devotional “Meeting the Challenges of Today.”Maxwell delivers one of the most clear-eyed diagnoses of our time: we are entering “a period of incredible ironies” where a maximum effort will be made to establish irreligion as the state religion — a new form of paganism that uses the very freedoms of Western civilization to shrink freedom while rejecting our rich Judeo-Christian heritage.The hosts break down:How secularism is succeeding in virtually establishing unbeliefThe paradox of tolerance and why religion is being relabeled as “harm”This 1978 talk feels like it was written for right now.Drop your thoughts in the comments — is this the prophetic warning our generation needs?CHAPTERS (copy and paste these directly into YouTube):text0:00 - Intro: Sen.

PLEASE SIGN UP ON PATREON, EVEN IF IT'S FOR FREE! Posting everything here has become a burden, and if you're only listening to this feed you probably aren't getting all of the episodes. Sign up now at Patreon. It’s two podcasts (Pod Yourself and the Frotcast) for the price of one! Patreon dot com slash frotcast! This episode is free, but $5 a month gets you all the premium ones (two a week!). This week on the Frotcast, bitter infighting consumed the group chat as the third day of negotiations about what to watch for this episode reached an impasse. While the talks were Vanced, the Strait of Discourse stayed mercifully open. What we're trying to say is, We didn't watch a movie this week. Sorry. Rapper/pornographer Ray J has months to live. He also has a very strange interview with Cam Newton's silly hat. Ray J answers the question “Are you gay?” with a story about what people do when they go home. It gets worse from there, believe it or not. A sample exchange: Ray J: “Do you listen to Biggie Smalls?” Cam: “Can you just answer my question?” We'll always love you for moving your hat 7 times in a 30 second conversation, Ray J. What we do in life echoes in eternity. Then we get some IRL Kyle Mooney action when streamer 4_Inches gets spotted at In N Out Burger (drink!) by Jakob with a K (drink!), the lead singer of Sublime (drink!). What follows is one of the dumbest conversations we've ever been privileged to hear. This then leads to one of the Frotcast's top two or three Nobel Prize-worthy anthropological theories; Socal bros = saltwater juggalos (drink!). Next, many are calling it The Most Australian Story Ever: man uses his dog to unsuccessfully bludgeon a murderous crocodile but is mercifully saved by a Sheila having a ciggy and his mate Kevin Bevin, who then blesses us with a wonderful new term for a penis. Finally, someone tried to assassinate Trump again, but this time it was a libbed out soyboy who geared up for murder and then took a mirror selfie doing the Lin-Manuel Miranda lip bite. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?? Perhaps making campaign pledges to only the most insane people in America and then aggressively doing the opposite has some sort of deleterious effect on said crazy people. Who can really know what is in anyone's heart though? The Frotcast's official BPD GF Olivia Reingold did what any good WCHP dinner journalist would do and documented the action by taking a selfie video. You can poison our houseplants any day, girl.
WCR Nation Ep. 469 | A Window Cleaning Podcast I'm gonna say something a lot of people don't wanna hear… Posting “grind mode” quotes and acting busy on social media doesn't mean you're building a successful business. A lot of window cleaners are addicted to LOOKING busy instead of actually making money. In this episode, I talk about fake hustle culture, burnout, pretending to work harder than everyone else, and what REAL growth actually looks like in a window cleaning business. This one might hit a nerve. Listen now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Alexa, and more. Need supplies? Let me know! I would love to do that for you!

What if sharing your work online could feel less like performance and more like service?In this episode of Empowering Her, I am continuing the conversation around social media, self-worth, and what it means to show up online with intention. This time, we are taking it one step deeper: how do we post when we believe in the mission, but we are just not feeling inspired?This episode is for the GiRLiFE coaches in our community and for every mother, mentor, teacher, therapist, counselor, coach, auntie, community leader, and woman who feels called to support girls in a deeper way.Because when you are here to empower girls, posting is not just about visibility. It is about mission. It is about letting the right people know that support, tools, conversations, workshops, and resources exist.In this episode, I talk about how to come back to the girl who needs the message, the woman who loves her, and the mission that is bigger than our fear of being seen. I also share why we need to stop trying to sound inspiring and start telling the truth, how to post from devotion instead of performance, why creating before consuming protects your voice, and how mission visibility is so different from personal validation.The reminder is simple: you do not have to become an influencer to make an impact. You get to become a messenger.Listen in and ask yourself: what does this mission need from me today?Learn more about GiRLiFE and how you can be a part of the movement of women empowering girls, at: www.melodypourmoradi.com/infoLet's Stay Connected!As an empowerment coach, author, twin girl mom, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Academy, my mission is to help every woman and girl discover her voice and live a life that lights her up from the inside out.I'd love to connect with you and continue this beautiful journey together!

The good version and the expensive version.This week on The RAG Podcast, Paul Strouts gives the most direct answer we have had on this show about when headcount creates value and when it just creates cost.We cover:- The first question Paul asks any founder who wants to grow from 5 to 20 people- Why you need a minimum of £500K to grow headcount properly, and what happens if you don't have it- When headcount genuinely creates value in a recruitment business, and when it becomes a cost- The ceiling Paul believes exists in life sciences, and why going beyond it risks diluting everything you built- How Acacium Life Sciences grew from 160 people to a £45 million GM operation through two targeted acquisitions- Why Paul sold James Harvard to Hays three years ahead of plan, and whether it was the right call- What working inside a global corporate taught Paul that founding a business never could- Why AI will not kill specialist boutique recruitment, but will change the lower end of the market permanentlyGrowing headcount is not the right move for every recruitment business. Paul is the first to say that. But if you are building a people-based business and you want to know exactly what it takes to do it properly, what it costs, when to bring in outside funding, and where the ceiling actually is, this is the episode.If you've ever wondered when headcount creates value and when it becomes a cost... this episode has the answer.-------------------------------------------------------------__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: Remote RecruitmentHiring shouldn't be slow, stressful, or expensive.

If you've ever deleted a draft, spiraled after a post flopped, or found yourself checking your analytics like you're waiting on a text back, this episode is for you. Most people think their content problem is strategy, but today we're getting honest about what's really going on. A toxic relationship with content looks like emotional dependency on metrics, disappearing after bad posts, and constantly shape-shifting your ideas for approval. We're breaking down the 3 self-trust creator profiles: low, medium, and high, so you can identify exactly where you are right now and understand how content may be having too much emotional control over your confidence and identity. The fastest-growing creators trust themselves before they get the validation, and this episode shows you how to do the same. You'll walk away with a 4-stage plan to rebuild self-trust: detaching your nervous system from performance, creating original ideas without seeking approval, building evidence that you can handle visibility, and developing a sustainable creative rhythm that you can actually repeat. This episode is your reminder that you're not going to stop posting. So it's time to decide, commit, and stop giving your brain the option to bail. Building a personal brand requires you to show up, and that starts with learning to trust yourself in the process first. In today's episode, we're chatting about: Your content problem isn't strategy — it's your relationship with content Checking analytics obsessively is the content version of waiting on a text back Low self-trust creators copy others, panic over metrics, and need validation to keep going High self-trust creators post before they feel ready and recover quickly from bad posts Stop giving your brain the escape route — no more "I'll just start a new account" Posting practice is the skill; self-trust is what makes it sustainable You're not going to quit, so decide and commit CONNECT: Connect with me on Instagram to see how I apply what I talk about on the episodes.

Nathan O'Connell spent nine years as a British military officer. Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan. He finished on the withdrawal with 16 Air Assault Brigade and left the forces two weeks before his 30th birthday with no sales background, no LinkedIn profile, and no recruitment experience of any kind.He got into rec-to-rec by accident. Spotted an advert on his wife's Instagram, joined R2R Global, and was given a cold desk focused on energy and renewable energy recruitment companies in London. Within 12 months he was their top biller in London. By year two, he was number one globally.Then he left. And instead of replicating what he'd done, he built the opposite. O'Connell Search Partners runs retained mandates with a maximum of four clients per geographic region. A team of four billing from Liverpool, covering London, New York, and Texas. In four months they invoiced £427,000.“I had nothing to sell at the time. So it was truly just a genuine interest.”This week on The RAG Podcast, Nathan breaks down how a military background shaped the most deliberate rec-to-rec model you will hear about this year.We cover:How a British military officer with zero sales experience became a global top biller in rec-to-rec within two yearsWhy Nathan limits his client base to four per region and how he selects between startups, scale-ups, and executive search boutiquesThe retained model in a space where most rec-to-recs work contingently, and what happens when mandates stay open for monthsHow he reconciles being anti-headcount whilst running a business that depends on agencies wanting to grow headcountWhy he gives clients 12 to 18 months grace before considering headhunting from businesses he has placed intoThe Atlas CRM and Device integration that he says saves a week of work per retained searchWhat he sees across dozens of agencies about which ones attract top talent and which ones struggleHis plan to personally bill £1m across three international locations with one researcherWhy he wants to be financially free by 45 and has no intention of building a big teamNathan O'Connell is not building a rec-to-rec empire. He is building a business designed around financial freedom, genuine relationships, and a small team where everyone bills.If you run a recruitment agency and you have ever wondered what a rec-to-rec headhunter actually thinks about your business, your culture, and your ability to attract talent, this episode will tell you.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: Remote RecruitmentHiring shouldn't be slow, stressful, or expensive.

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Red Leather, the anonymous artist who turned viral TikTok videos into sold-out tours around the world. Known for his signature red hat, Red Leather first started his career by busking on Hollywood Boulevard before exploding online with viral covers and original songs like “The Only Time It Rains in Hollywood.” In this episode, Red Leather breaks down how he used social media to grow his audience from scratch, why he posted 5 videos a day for 100 straight days, how smashing guitars outside Capitol Records landed him a record deal (that he turned down), and why ticket sales matter more than streams or viral moments. He also opens up about sobriety, surviving addiction, touring independently, and eventually partnering with Empire after years of doing everything DIY.Follow Red Leather:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redleather/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@redleatherCheck out Ari's Take:https://aristake.com00:04:02 - Intro00:04:36 - The Origin of Red Leather00:06:39 - Sobriety, Addiction & Artistic Vulnerability00:10:11 - Posting 5 Videos a Day for 100 Days00:14:11 - The Viral TikTok That Changed Everything00:20:00 - Smashing Guitars Outside Capitol Records00:25:12 - Why He Turned Down Major Label Deals00:33:28 - Booking Tours Through Instagram DMs00:47:23 - Virality vs Real Fans & Ticket Sales01:01:58 - What “Making It” Means TodayEdited and mixed by Ruben ZarateMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

There's a lot of bad advice being shared about LinkedIn right now.And honestly?Some of it is costing people their time, money, credibility… and even putting their accounts at risk.That's exactly why I recorded today's episode.Not to call people out.But to protect people from falling for tactics that don't work anymore.Here are 3 of the biggest LinkedIn myths I'm seeing right now:1. “You can generate hundreds or thousands of leads a month on LinkedIn.”No, you can't.At least not in the way most people are advertising it.A connection request is not a lead.- A lead is a real conversation.- A booked call.- An actual opportunity.The math alone doesn't support the claims people are making.2. “Just post consistently, and the content itself doesn't matter.”This is among the worst pieces of advice I have seen.LinkedIn does not reward random content.It rewards relevant content.- Content that teaches.- Content that solves problems.- Content that creates thought leadership.- Content that leaves your audience better after reading it.Posting just to “check the box” is not a strategy.3. “Engagement pods help beat the algorithm.”Nope.LinkedIn has openly discussed cracking down on repetitive engagement activity.And beyond that…Fake engagement does not build real business relationships.Vanity metrics don't pay the bills.Meaningful conversations do.The truth is this:There are no shortcuts on LinkedIn.- No hacks.- No secret loopholes.- No magic automation.The people getting results are building trust through quality content, strategic conversations, and consistency over time.That's what actually works.Click below to download our free guide for "3 High Impact Post Templates" to create more sales opportunities from your LinkedIn content: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/ecsposttemplates
PhotoBizX The Ultimate Portrait and Wedding Photography Business Podcast
Most photographers are chasing leads. Posting, boosting, tweaking captions… hoping something sticks. Stacey Rolfe built a business doing the opposite. Instead of chasing new clients, she built a system that brings people back—year after year. Last year: 75–80% of bookings were returning clients 25–30% came from referrals And the rest? Mostly warm leads No ads. No pushy sales. No complicated funnels. Just systems, clarity, and an experience that makes rebooking the obvious next step. In this interview, Stacey breaks down exactly how it works—and why most photographers are making things harder than they need to. The post 669: Stacey Rolfe – 80% Returning Clients… Without Discounts or Sales Calls appeared first on Photography Business Xposed - Photography Podcast - how to build and market your portrait and wedding photography business.
