Why B2B Marketers Hesitate to Choose an AI Tool and How to Move Forward with ConfidenceIn this episode, Donna Peterson talks about the real fears many B2B marketers face when thinking about using AI tools and large language models. She explains why choosing an AI tool can feel overwhelming and why many industrial brands, executive education programs, and companies with long sales cycles hesitate to get started.Donna highlights three concerns she hears most often:• Not knowing which large language model to choose• Worrying that AI will harm personal relationships• Feeling unsure about learning what seems like a new technologyShe explains that tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot all work in similar ways, and the key is understanding how to guide them. Donna reinforces that AI should not replace personal connection. Instead, it should give marketers more time to build trust by handling routine tasks in the background.Listeners will learn how large language models respond to clear direction, why “garbage in, garbage out” still applies, and how to start using AI safely without risking their brand voice. Donna also discusses the increasing interest in AI agents and why companies need to understand LLMs before creating customized agents for different departments.The episode includes simple steps B2B teams can take to start using AI immediately, along with practical guidance for industrial marketers who want to use AI without losing the human touch that builds long-term relationships.These insights support marketers looking for clarity on how to start with AI, how to protect their brand voice, and how to use AI tools responsibly in B2B marketing.Episode Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Purpose00:56 Common Fears of B2B Brands Using AI01:29 Choosing the Right AI Tool02:38 Overcoming the Fear of Learning New Technology03:23 Maintaining Personal Connections with AI05:20 Deep Dive into Large Language Models06:19 The Importance of AI Training in Corporations08:01 The Role of AI Agents in Business10:38 Practical Tips for Using AI Effectively14:38 The Risks of Relying Solely on Software Platforms19:29 Final Thoughts and EncouragementIf you found this episode helpful, please subscribe and rate the show.

Mastering Profitability and Mindset with Profit Doctor BenIn this episode, host Josh Elledge sits down with Dr. Ben Hansen—widely known as Profit Doctor Ben—to explore how mindset, emotional resilience, and strategic decision-making shape long-term business profitability. Dr. Hansen shares hard-earned lessons from scaling a multimillion-dollar company, experiencing burnout, and later helping hundreds of entrepreneurs break free from revenue-driven overwhelm. His insights reveal why simplifying operations, strengthening your CEO psychology, and eliminating hidden inefficiencies are the real drivers of sustainable profit and long-term freedom.The Psychology Behind Profit and Sustainable Business GrowthDr. Hansen explains that many entrepreneurs unknowingly sabotage their success by tying their identity to revenue, leaving them overwhelmed and burnt out as they chase constant growth. He emphasizes that profitability is rooted in emotional stability and strategic clarity, urging business owners to focus on what truly drives value instead of accumulating more products, services, or responsibilities. This shift in thinking allows leaders to build businesses that support—not drain—their energy, confidence, and long-term goals.He also introduces the concept of “addition by subtraction,” a method where eliminating low-performing offers and inefficient processes leads to higher profit and a calmer operational environment. By cutting what creates complexity, leaders free up resources, reduce team frustration, and strengthen their ability to execute on what matters most. This approach often produces faster financial gains than launching new initiatives, making it one of Dr. Hansen's most reliable strategies for immediate profitability improvements.Finally, Dr. Hansen highlights the importance of diagnosing “profit leaks,” the hidden inefficiencies that quietly drain revenue. With the Profit Leaks Detector tool, founders can quickly locate their top problem areas, address them systematically, and achieve measurable improvements within 90 days. This targeted approach empowers leaders to create momentum without overwhelming operational overhauls.About Dr. Ben HansenDr. Ben Hansen—Profit Doctor Ben—is a seasoned entrepreneur, consultant, and profitability strategist who helps business owners uncover inefficiencies, repair financial drains, and build profitable operations without burnout.

John sits down with mental health coach, author, and speaker Judith Belmont to unpack why our thoughts shape so much of how we feel, and what we can actually do about it. Judy breaks down Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a practical, down-to-earth way, from spotting cognitive distortions to managing anxiety, reframing stress, and building real resilience. It's an encouraging conversation about self-talk, self-worth, and learning to see yourself with a little more compassion (and a lot less pressure). If you've been feeling stretched thin, stuck in your head, or just human…this one will land.

Jesse sits down with Andy Hill—personal finance educator, podcast host, and creator of Marriage, Kids, and Money—for a candid conversation about building wealth while building a life you actually enjoy. Andy shares how a mix of financial discipline, intentional goal-setting, and family-centered values helped him and his wife pay off their mortgage by age 35 and achieve financial independence on their own terms. Together, they unpack why traditional FIRE goals often miss the human side of money, how to define "enough," and why generosity and purpose are essential parts of financial freedom. Andy also opens up about the shift from chasing net worth to focusing on net happiness, revealing the moment he realized money was no longer the main goal—but a tool for creating the life and impact he wanted most. Throughout, Jesse and Andy remind listeners that real wealth isn't about numbers—it's about freedom, joy, and using money to live aligned with what truly matters. Key Takeaways:• Financial freedom isn't just about money—it's about creating the life and relationships you truly want. • Family alignment around financial goals strengthens relationships and ensures everyone is moving in the same direction. • Andy's shift from "net worth" to "net happiness" redefined how he measures success and balance. • Andy emphasizes financial independence on your own terms, not a one-size-fits-all version of FIRE. • Clarity creates motivation—when your goals align with personal meaning, saving and investing feel purposeful. • Sustainability matters more than intensity—consistent, realistic habits lead to long-term financial wellness.

This episode offers a range of practical ideas, advice and teaching techniques for engaging students in the work of William Shakespeare – both in the English classroom and across the school. Produced in partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the episode features a panel of experts and educators who discuss how we can make Shakespeare enjoyable for our students. We talk about Shakespeare's place across the school, in the English and drama classrooms of course, but also in other places such as the assembly hall and extra-curricular work. We offer a range of teaching tips and ways we can make Shakespeare enjoyable and engaging for students, including how we can help them to penetrate the vocabulary of Shakespeare, how Shakespeare can support oracy education, and ideas for how we can introduce Shakespeare effectively in key stage 3. Crucially, we also ask what we should avoid doing when teaching Shakespeare and ask how we can show students the relevance of Shakespeare in today's world. This episode has been produced to mark the launch of RSC's new Shakespeare Curriculum platform, which brings you the next generation of digital resources to support your teaching of Shakespeare. It is free to access for state-maintained schools and SEN schools. More details at the end of the podcast or via: www.shakespearecurriculum.com

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Vanessa Spina break down new human research showing why high protein doesn't block autophagy when calories are low. You'll learn how this changes everything we've believed about protein timing, fasting, and cellular repair. The conversation also reveals why prioritizing protein can accelerate fat loss without sacrificing muscle.   You'll hear how protein impacts appetite, hormones, and metabolic flexibility—and why many people overeat simply because they're under-consuming essential amino acids. Vanessa explains the protein leverage effect and how it naturally reduces cravings, stabilizes blood sugar, and makes eating "effortlessly" satisfying. These insights can help you rethink how you build your daily meals.   You'll discover why certain fasting styles can increase visceral fat loss, support hormonal balance, and boost performance.

Mastering Golf with Systems: Bob Labbe's Pioneering ApproachIn this episode of 'Your Message Received', host John Duffin speaks with engineer and author Bob Labbe about his innovative system for improving long-distance putting in golf. Labbe, who enjoyed a successful career in air pollution control, applies his engineering background to the game of golf, developing a unique method called 'Individual Power Factor' (IPF) to enhance performance on the course. As a non-golfer, I am really pleasantly surprised by how easily I understood Bob's specific approach. When Bob says to use a little math, science, patience, and practice, it all made perfect sense to me. I am now excited that I can at least attempt to play this game. Don't forget about the fun factor too! The conversation delves into the practical applications of this system, its ease of adoption for beginners and seasoned players alike, and its broader implications for confidence and integrity in both sports and business. Whether you're looking to up your golf game or seeking inspiration from a man who has combined passion, science, and sports, this episode offers valuable insights for everyone.If you'd like to learn more about IPF and Bob Labbe, click the link below.boblabbe.com00:00 Introduction to Individual Power Factor in Golf01:12 Welcome to Your Message Received Podcast02:17 Meet Bob Labbe: Engineer and Author03:11 The Journey into Engineering05:45 Air Pollution Control: A Career Path07:46 The Evolution of Air Pollution Control11:59 Golf: A Personal and Professional Journey18:30 The Importance of Putting in Golf22:23 Developing a System for Better Putting27:33 Understanding Individual Power Factors in Golf29:31 Measuring and Applying Your Power Factor31:07 Building Confidence in Long Distance Putting32:08 Helping Others Improve Their Game41:08 The Importance of Integrity in Golf44:07 Practical Tips for Beginner Golfers49:25 The Simplicity and Effectiveness of the Method50:15 Conclusion and Encouragement

"If only I had more willpower, then I could stop overeating sweets...exercise more...and finally lose weight!"  These are common beliefs amongst those who have struggled with their health goals for a long time. So you may have wondered why we don't talk much about "willpower" on this podcast. Today we are going to address why we don't promote it as a primary weight management strategy. The truth is, willpower is limited and finite in nature, and one's belief in their willpower capability can greatly impact their behavior.

We also discuss the importance of engineering your environment and leveraging social support to make healthier choices easier. If you want to manage your whole state, strengthen your self control, and create a supportive environment for long-term healthy eating habits, then we hope you join us for this episode!

In this episode, host Annie Sargent chats with Bobbi Heath, a passionate traveler and boating enthusiast, about her week-long adventure renting a boat on the Canal du Midi.

The Canal du Midi is beginner-friendly, with easy-to-navigate locks and a relaxed pace. Bobbi shares how they mastered the locks (hint: going downstream first makes it easier!), where to find the best wine (hello, Minervois region!), and why this trip is perfect for groups of four. She even reveals her favorite stops, like Le Somail, home to a legendary bookstore (Le Trouve-Tout du Livre), and Carcassonne, where medieval charm meets modern dining at La Table d'Alais. You'll learn how to plan your route, what to pack (duffel bags, not suitcases!), and why early mornings at the locks mean shorter waits. Bobbi also dives into the joys of slow travel—biking along the towpath, shopping at local markets, and enjoying picnics on deck with fresh baguettes and cheese. The Canal du Midi isn't just a waterway; it's a journey through history, wine country, and some of France's most authentic villages. From practical advice on renting boats (expect to pay around $1,200/week) to insider tips on avoiding tourist crowds, this episode covers it all. Whether you're a wine lover, history buff, or just craving a unique getaway, Bobbi's stories will have you ready to book your own canal adventure.
