Andy Beshear, the governor of Kentucky, joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the damage that President Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” will cause in rural America. Beshear paints a picture of how Democrats can win back voters without compromising on issues such as abortion or trans rights, what the party can learn from Mamdani's victory in the New York City mayoral primary, and the importance of communicating with the public using everyday language. This week's reading: “Donald Trump, Zohran Mamdani, and Posting as Politics” by Kyle Chayka “The Texas Floods and the Lives Lost at Camp Mystic,” by Jessica Winter “Is There Still Time to Be Hopeful About the Climate?,” by Daniel A.

The episode emphasizes that visibility requires purposeful posting, not just increased quantity; creators often feel invisible despite frequent posting due to ineffective strategies.Host Karena Calhoun experienced a breakthrough by realizing engagement and the right messaging were key after feeling overlooked in her content journey.A three-part Visibility Formula is introduced: Positioning (clarity in messaging), Engagement-Based Content (conversational posts), and Consistency Over Volume (focus on quality with 3-4 impactful posts).Positioning example illustrates specific messaging: 'I teach introverted entrepreneurs how to attract online clients without feeling drained' shows the power of niche targeting.Three myths are debunked: 1) Daily posting isn't essential for relevance; 2) Algorithms reward engagement, not mere presence; 3) Smaller followings can yield higher sales.Engagement is a two-way street; creators must initiate interaction to boost visibility and solve low engagement problems.Understanding the audience is crucial; creators should actively analyze DMs, comments, and competitors to better meet follower needs.The podcast stresses the importance of being visible on preferred platforms where the audience is most active, enhancing genuine engagement.Lastly, visibility requires smarter strategies rather than just harder work; immediate fixes are attainable for creators facing visibility challenges.

Today I'm breaking down the top mistakes I see women make when they're trying to build a personal brand… and why it's keeping them broke, invisible, and burnt out.Real talk, too many of us are out here trying to build fame, not Business foundations.If you're:Posting on social media but still not making moneyTrying to go viral instead of going deepCopying what everyone else is doing because you haven't found your secret saucePlaying small, overthinking, and shrinking around your goals…Then THIS is the truth you need in your ears today.Because the real problem isn't your content, it's your clarity...It's your confidence.It's the missing strategy that turns followers into clients and visibility into income.I'll also share how we do it differently inside The Queen's Table: the framework I use in my program to help women build magnetic brands, powerful business backends, and unshakeable identities.

Step right up to the medieval ophthalmology booth where your chalazion gets cured with garlic, mustard seeds, and just a dash of cow bile. This week, I take you on a Renaissance Festival-style journey through the weirdest eye treatments in history and how some of those relics have been rebranded for the modern wellness crowd. There's leech therapy, eye “massagers,” and influencers promising vision miracles with homeopathic potions that would make a 13th-century snake oil vendor proud. Also: how do I keep my sanity posting online every day while avoiding ye olde digital burnout? Let's joust. Takeaways: If your eye treatment sounds like something a plague doctor brewed—maybe don't. Medieval eye salves made from onions and bile are more like Renaissance cosplay than science… unless you're on TikTok. Some modern devices claim to fix your vision but operate with the same logic as 15th-century eye pokers. The FDA was practically invented to protect us from “miracle” eye tonics like these. Posting about medicine online can feel like performing in the town square—here's how I avoid getting metaphorically pelted with tomatoes. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In Part 5 of Episode 271, the panel wrestles with one of the hobby's more nuanced and quietly controversial behaviors: sharing cards online that you no longer own. Is it deceptive? Is it aspirational? Or is it simply part of storytelling in the hobby? Chris McRae, Chris McGill, Joe Poirot, and Jeremy Lee explore how collectors present their collections on social media, the tension between personal pride and public perception, and whether it really matters if a card shown off on Instagram is still in the owner's possession. Along the way, the conversation hits on: Hobby culture and the psychology of social media The rise of the “flex post” and why transparency matters How context, intent, and authenticity shape collector trust Personal examples of cards posted long after they were sold Whether you've posted a favorite card just for the memory or found yourself second-guessing someone else's feed, this segment digs into how we represent our collections — and ourselves — in the modern hobby. Each week we tackle hot hobby headlines with a rotating panel of hobbyists, taking your questions and comments!

Send me a text about the episode!Ever feel like your workouts are rarely as amazing as fitness influencers make theirs look? You're not alone—and there's a scientific reason why. The bell curve concept offers a refreshing perspective on fitness reality: out of approximately 100 workouts, only about 10% will feel truly amazing. Another 10% will inevitably feel terrible, regardless of your experience level. The remaining 80%? They'll just be okay. Not Instagram-worthy, not particularly memorable—just adequate. And that's exactly how it should be.This revelation is particularly liberating for perfectionists and all-or-nothing thinkers who beat themselves up when every workout doesn't feel transformative. Just as you don't perform at 100% capacity every day at work, or brush your teeth with perfect technique every time, your fitness journey will include a spectrum of experiences. The magic happens not in chasing perfect workouts, but in showing up consistently through all three phases of the curve.For those with neurodivergent tendencies or heightened sensitivities, traditional fitness advice often misses the mark. The standard "push through it" mentality may actually be counterproductive for your brain's wiring. Finding accommodations that work with your unique thinking patterns—whether that's managing sensory input, creating different types of reminders, or developing personalized routines—can transform your relationship with fitness entirely. You're not broken or lacking discipline; you simply need approaches aligned with how your mind operates.Have you experienced this bell curve in your own fitness journey? Share this episode with someone who needs this perspective, and remember that consistency, not perfection, builds the foundation for lasting results.✅ Like the podcast? Leave a review!

We live in a world obsessed with more—more followers, more likes, more views, more subscribers, more clients, more money. But what if more isn't what you need? What if more is actually costing you peace, clarity, focus… and real results? In this powerful solo episode, AJ Vaden flips the script on one of the most deeply ingrained assumptions in marketing and entrepreneurship: that bigger is always better. Drawing from a recent conversation with long-time friend and marketing leader Lee Pepper, AJ dives deep into the difference between vanity metrics and real growth indicators—and why chasing the wrong metrics could be the very thing holding you back. If you've ever found yourself: Feeling pressure to "go viral" without knowing why Posting endlessly but getting no real traction Confused about what social media metrics actually matter Burnt out trying to “scale” a business you're not equipped to handle Overwhelmed by more noise, more platforms, and more expectations …this episode is your wake-up call. You'll learn: ✅ Why “more” often brings more pressure, not more peace ✅ The hidden cost of chasing likes, followers, and superficial numbers ✅ The core real metrics that actually grow your personal brand and business ✅ How to turn existing engagement into real conversions and paying clients ✅ A simple mindset shift that could transform your marketing strategy overnight ✅ Why focusing on fewer platforms can generate more impact and income ✅ How doing less with intention outperforms doing more without purpose AJ reminds us that true influence isn't measured by impressions—it's measured by impact. And in this episode, she'll help you reclaim your time, focus, and revenue by aligning your metrics with your mission.

This exclusive Patreon video episode gets into the real, real of what it means to build (and keep building) a long-term relationship. Beautifulll shares what it's like to be in her longest relationship ever, and Ace reflects on lessons from two 8-year loves. The talk growth, communication, triggers, and how to stay soft when life (and your ex) tried to harden you. In this episode: Posting your partner for the first time
Posting reels on Instagram is one of the best things you can do for the growth of your business. Of course, a big following is meaningless if you don't have a next step for your audience to take, but you are going to need some eyes on you in order to sell your products and services. Social media content creation doesn't need to be a huge deal or a paralysis-causing event, so in this episode, Jill is sharing her personal social media content planning strategies for maximum connection, engagement, and growth.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines
If your strategy screams content creator—but not power player—this episode is your wake-up call. Too many women are stuck spinning their wheels trying to land high-level deals with low-level tactics. Posting daily? Shouting your value in the comments? Cold DMs for “virtual coffee”? Let's fix that. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to get in the room with decision-makers who write big checks. This is for the entrepreneur who knows she's capable of more—but isn't quite sure how to shift from pitching to positioning. We're talking about enterprise-level visibility, not content calendar chaos. These are the power moves I've used—and taught others to use—to land $3M deals and be seen as a peer, not a pitch. If you've been wondering why you're not getting the “yes,” even with receipts and results, this is your blueprint to change that. You don't need more hustle. You need a smarter room. What You'll Learn: The #1 reason your current strategy is keeping you out of high-level rooms Why your funnel and website won't land corporate deals (and what will) 3 powerful shifts to move from “expert” to “enterprise asset” How to identify the right rooms for real opportunities Exactly what to do to stand out to power players and decision-makers The “value entry strategy” that gets you noticed without pitching Mentioned Resources: My new YouTube video on crafting a corporate-ready bio - https://youtu.be/qrRFAdbAY_E Take the Influence Growth Assessment: https://myinfluencestyle.com Your Next Steps: Ambitious Women: Take our Influence Growth Assessment and discover your unique influence and how to use it to boost your profitability: https://myinfluencestyle.com Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/shaynarattlerdavis Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/shaynarattlerdavis

Are you trying to show up everywhere just to grow your business? You feel the pressure. The constant hustle. Posting to stay relevant. Afraid to put your phone down in case you miss something. Or worse, lose clients. I get it. As an online entrepreneur, I truly believed I had to be on all the time. Showing up on every platform, all day, every day. But what if I told you that deleting social media was the very thing that grew my business? In this episode, I'm sharing what happened when I finally followed God's leading and walked away from social media. Spoiler: it didn't kill my business. Instead, it unlocked more peace, more clarity, and more clients than ever before. If you're tired of the pressure and the scroll, and you're craving a different way to do business, one that honors God and actually works, this conversation is for you. Let's talk about the truth behind why stepping away accelerated my growth and helped me build a business that's fully aligned with God's vision. I pray this blesses you!

In episode 698, Eloise Jennes talks about how what felt like a massive failure on Instagram actually became the catalyst for clarity, growth, and deep alignment in her food blogging business. Elo is a plant-based food blogger, meal prep expert, and founder of Cooking With Elo, where she helps stressed-out professionals, overwhelmed parents, and health-conscious students make healthy plant-based eating way more doable and way less chaotic. With her Master's in food innovation and obsessive love for systems, checklists, and pantry organization, Elo helps you feel confident in the kitchen, even with tofu, tempeh, and beans on the menu. So if you've ever wished someone would just tell you what to cook, how to prep it, and when to eat it—she's your girl. In this episode, you'll learn how to reframe failure as a learning opportunity to refine your niche, improve your blog and discover a clear business path rooted in passion and purpose. Key points discussed include: - Failure isn't failure—it's unmet expectations: Eloise shares how she redefined her Instagram experiment as a learning opportunity, not a flop. - Hard work can still feel fruitless—until it pays off: Posting 100 blog posts and 100 Instagram reels in 100 days didn't go viral, but it laid a strong foundation for her business. - Systems matter: Eloise used Google Sheets smart chips and her love of organization to manage content creation efficiently. - Clarity comes from action: Pushing through the challenge helped Eloise realize her true niche had been there all along—plant-based meal prep. - You gain confidence through repetition: Creating content daily improved her storytelling, video editing, voiceovers, and technical workflow. - Burnout is real—listen to your body: She worked 14-15 hours a day, 7 days a week, and ended up with stress-induced gastritis, teaching her to build in sustainability. - Trust the process: Eloise held onto the belief that everything was leading somewhere, and it eventually unlocked new products, programs, and media opportunities. - Teaching is mastery: Shifting from “storyteller” to “teacher” allowed Eloise to embrace her strengths and lead her audience more effectively.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a mother in the UK will spend the next two and a half years of her life in prison for posting something “hateful” on social media. The UK, like so many other alleged liberal democracies across the West, has become a left-wing dictatorship. Also, the Democrat Party has spent $20 million hatching a plan to win back young male voters. We'll take a look at the plan to see exactly how out of touch it is. And we have another super-viral entry in the ever-expanding genre of online videos where wives complain about their husbands.
