Podcasts about practical ways

In a world full of polished content, authenticity is what truly cuts through.That's the secret behind Armchair Expert, the wildly popular podcast from Dax Shepard that mixes candid conversation with crowd-sourced chaos. In this episode, we unpack the marketing insights behind it with special guest Derek Weeks, Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from building real connections, inviting community participation, and letting go of perfection to create content people genuinely trust and engage with.About our guest, Derek WeeksDerek Weeks is the Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon. He is a driven, results-oriented CMO with a proven ability to achieve multiple successful exits, build and execute bold go-to-market strategies for each stage of business growth, and demonstrate solid returns on marketing investments. Accomplished at building high-performing teams, driving quality marketing-sourced pipeline, developing massive communities, and collaborating with sales teams to meet business targets.What B2B Companies Can Learn From the Armchair Expert Podcast:Vulnerability builds trust and attention. Derek Weeks emphasizes that Armchair Expert's standout quality is its authentic vulnerability, which creates a powerful emotional connection with listeners. He explains, “It's really about being human… It builds an emotional connection with your brand.” Derek draws a parallel to B2B marketing, highlighting that it's crucial to showcase real people behind the brand to forge trust.Mix long-form and short-form content strategically. Armchair Expert masterfully balances 90-minute conversations with short, snackable segments like Armchair Anonymous. Derek believes this dual-format approach is essential for B2B marketing: “That kind of mix of long and short is something that you have to play into as a marketer and realize your audience expects different things at different times.” He stresses that marketers must go deep when it matters, but also repurpose content aggressively to cater to varied audience behaviors, especially across platforms like TikTok.Empower community-generated content. Derek praises Armchair Expert for its use of community-driven content through Armchair Anonymous, where listeners share personal stories weekly. He says, “They really don't have to spend time creating content at all… believe in your community and the value that they create.” B2B marketers should harness their user-generated content to scale content creation far beyond the limits of a marketing budget.Quotes“ You have to think about what draws people to the next.  What did you do in that moment that got people to say, ‘This is worth following or paying attention to or coming back again?'  Figure out what's going to make people come back, not what makes people appear the first time.  The first time is kind of an easy win. The second time, or third time, or 10th time is the hard part.”Time Stamps[00:55]  Meet Derek Weeks, CMO at Katalon[01:23]  Why Armchair Expert?[03:01] Vulnerability and Trust in B2B[08:58]  Don't Build Campaigns, Build Conversations[13:37] The Long-Form to Short-Form Pipeline[19:05] Unfair Mindshare[21:47] What Armchair Expert Gets Right[24:01] Practical Ways to Bring Personality into B2B[27:38] Final Thoughts & TakeawaysLinksConnect with Derek on LinkedInLearn more about KatalonAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

What if the biggest thing holding your parish back isn't a lack of programs—but a lack of missionary disciples? In this episode, I sit down with my team to explore a step in parish life that often gets skipped: evangelization formation. We're talking about the part of discipleship where people go from passive participants to confident, Spirit-led missionaries—and why that shift changes everything. We get honest about what it actually takes to form missionary disciples—not just run more programs. You'll hear real behind-the-scenes stories from parishes on the ground, practical tips that work, and ways they faced the most common roadblocks we see, like fear, self-doubt, or the sense of being alone in mission. We break down evangelization formation into clear, doable steps—like helping people pray out loud, share their story, and discover their charisms. Whether your parish is just starting out or ready to go deeper, this episode will shift how you think about forming people for mission—and give you the tools to start.

One way that AI can save you from expending massive amounts of blood, sweat and tears is a way that a lot of people aren't using. And that involves its incredible ability to analyze, find trends, and organize information. On the face of it, all that sounds pretty boring and hardly applicable to copywriters and business owners. But today's returning champion, Cath Reohorn, has used her impressive imagination to come up with some incredibly simple, smart and powerful ways to use AI that are VERY interesting… and could be useful to you as well. You probably remember Cath because her podcast, titled Selling Them With Kindness, got a lot of engagement and some heartfelt comments from listeners. Cath's business is called Kind Copy. She lives in Wales in the UK. She has a true family business, since it employs herself, her husband, her sister and 2 other team members. What's even more impressive, they grew with organic marketing to over £1m/month before she ever ran an ad. Today, we dig into Cath's personal, practical AI innovations. – Cath's website: https://kindcopy.co.uk/ Cath's social media links: https://x.com/kindcopy https://www.instagram.com/kindcopyuk/ Download.

If you’re not intentionally teaching your kids a solid Christian worldview, someone else is shaping their beliefs for you. In this can’t-miss replay from the Christian Parent / Crazy World vault, sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz—elementary educator, apologist, and founder of Foundation Worldview—to equip parents for the immense challenge of raising resilient, truth-loving kids in a culture determined to shape their values. While many children in Christian homes learn Bible stories and attend church, a shocking disconnect remains: they often think more like the surrounding culture than like Christ. Elizabeth shares her journey from the Christian classroom—where she saw even well-discipled kids absorbing secular ideas—to developing comprehensive curricula that anchor young minds in biblical truth. A worldview, she explains, is a “mental map” that guides everything we think, say, and do. In this episode, she equips parents to make that map biblical—even for their youngest learners.

Welcome to the final week of our Hidden Gems series! Today, Pastor Sarah from our Maui Campus brings a powerful and practical message titled "Committing to God's Path" — a timely reminder that God's promises are found when we trust His direction over our own understanding. Life is full of decisions. But when we commit our plans, steps, and motives to the Lord, Scripture tells us He will direct, watch over, and establish our path. Key Scriptures: Proverbs 3:5–6 | Proverbs 16:3, 9, 18 | Psalm 121:1–4 | James 1:5 | Psalm 119:105 | Psalm 37:5 In this message, you'll learn: – Promise 1: God will direct your paths – Promise 2: God will watch over your journey – Promise 3: God will establish your steps — firm, stable, and lasting – Practical ways to stay committed to God's direction every day “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 7 Practical Ways to Stay Committed: – Watch your motives – Seek wise counsel – Wait on the Lord – Trust God's wisdom over your own – Arrest pride – Use Scripture as your guide – Write out your commitment Final Thought: God isn't asking for perfect plans — He's asking for surrendered hearts. What would change if you stopped trusting your own path and fully committed your steps to Him this week?

Studying the Bible in a way that makes it practical for daily living is a powerful and transformative process. To do this effectively, you'll need a combination of intentionality, reflection, and application. Here's a step-by-step approach that can help:1. Start with PrayerBefore you begin reading, take a moment to pray, asking God to open your heart and mind to His Word. Ask for understanding, wisdom, and guidance to apply the lessons to your life.2. Choose a Plan or FocusRather than aimlessly reading, choose a Bible reading plan or a specific book or passage to focus on. Here are some options:Books of the Bible: Start with a book like the Psalms, Proverbs, or one of the Gospels (e.g., Mark or John) that speaks directly to practical living.Themes: Focus on specific themes such as forgiveness, patience, love, or trust.Character Studies: Study the lives of biblical figures like David, Paul, Esther, or Jesus to learn from their experiences.3. Read with PurposeDon't rush through the text. Take time to understand each verse. Ask yourself questions as you read, such as:What does this passage teach about God?What does this passage teach about human nature?How does this relate to my life?What is God asking me to do or change?

Have you ever spent ages crafting the perfect LinkedIn post, only to delete it in a moment of self-doubt? In this episode, Anna Lundberg dives into the so-called 'LinkedIn spiral' - the cycle of comparison, perfectionism, and performative posting that can leave even seasoned experts feeling deflated. Tune in as Anna shares practical strategies for building your authority, setting healthy boundaries online, and creating a content rhythm that feels authentic (and gets results). Key Takeaways LinkedIn's Unique Power for Experts: LinkedIn remains the best platform for independent experts to position themselves as authorities and connect with ideal clients—when used with intention. Understanding the LinkedIn Spiral: Anna unpacks three common traps: comparison, perfectionism, and performative posting, explaining how each can drain your energy, sap confidence, and distract from your real business goals.

Practical Ways to Regain Control: Tips include batching content, separating creation from scrolling, setting boundaries, unfollowing/muting comparison triggers, being strategic with engagement, and sticking to a sustainable, authentic cadence.

Meditation is a key discipline that helps get God's truth into our "innermost being" (Psalm 51:6). It means that we actively and intentionally engage with the Scripture as we seek to understand what it means and how we are to carefully put into practice what we learn.

Have you ever hesitated when you knew God was calling you to act? Maybe it was speaking up in a meeting, addressing a team issue, or saying “yes” to an opportunity you didn't feel ready for. I've been there. And I know this: delayed obedience is often disobedience. Today, we're going to talk about that—about obedience in leadership, and how to take three practical, biblical steps that will help you stop hesitating and start leading boldly in obedience to God. For many of us as female Christian leaders, being disobedient isn't about defiance, it's about fear. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of what others will think. Fear of stepping out without knowing the full plan. But friend, God is not looking for perfection. He's looking for a yes. Obedience is less about having all the answers and more about having the willingness to follow. Have a listener question? Submit it at https://www.womenoffaithinleadership.com   Next steps:  1.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.   Do you know what's quietly stealing your joy, keeping you small, and making sure everyone else's needs come first, while yours barely make the list? Being low maintenance. Yep, I said it.   Somewhere along the way, we got the message: don't ask for much, don't rock the boat, and definitely don't be “difficult.” But let's get real—that's not a virtue. That's a survival strategy we learned to keep the peace, and it's keeping us stuck.   Today, I'm calling it out. If you've ever said, “No worries, whatever works!” when it absolutely did not work, or if you've ever ignored that little voice in your head telling you what you actually want, it's time to break free. You're not “too much.” You're not “demanding.” You're a human with real wants and needs, and you deserve to own them, without apology.

A New Way to Summer: 10 Ways to Slow Down This Year Episode Description What if this summer doesn't have to be another season of cramming in as much activity and productivity as possible? In this vulnerable and transformative episode, host Cherisse shares her heart about choosing a different way to summer - one that prioritizes rest, restoration, and the health of our souls. With shaky hands and an open heart, Cherisse announces she's taking her first sabbatical in 26 years of business, and invites you to join her in discovering what it looks like to summer slowly, restfully, and with intention.

In returning and rest you shall be saved." Ruth Haley Barton: "We cannot give what we do not have." Abraham Joshua Heschel: "Sabbath is not for the sake of weekdays, but weekdays are for the sake of the Sabbath." John Ortberg: "Hurry is not of the devil. Hurry IS the devil."

#566 In this episode of the podcast, I explore how photography can be a powerful tool for self-discovery—not just a way to create beautiful images or chase technical perfection. I share my belief that the most meaningful photos aren't always the ones that earn the most likes or comments. Instead, our true value as photographers comes from how honestly we depict our lives and the world around us. KEY TOPICS COVEREDPhotography as Self-Discovery - Raymond explains that photography is more than just technical skill or visual appeal—it's a tool for self-exploration. The choices you make behind the camera act as a "mirror," revealing your interests, values, and the way you see the world.The Mirror and the Megaphone Metaphor - The “mirror” captures your authentic, unfiltered truth, while the “megaphone” amplifies what you choose to share with the world—curated, staged, or idealized moments. The real magic happens when your megaphone projects your mirror's truth.Practical Ways to Shoot Authentically - Raymond recommends concrete strategies, like setting reminders to document ordinary scenes (e.g., your fridge, messy rooms) to foster honesty in your work. He challenges listeners to photograph something honest, unpolished, and meaningful—if only for themselves.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSMirror: The aspect of photography that reflects your true self—your interests, emotions, and what you naturally notice. It's about authenticity.Megaphone: The way you present or share your images, shaping how your story is told to others. This can be more curated or staged but is most powerful when aligned with your mirror.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhat do your everyday photo choices reveal about you?Have you ever felt pressure to shoot for an audience instead of for yourself?How can you begin to capture more authentic and honest moments in your daily life?Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/Connect with Raymond!

Let's get honest about a lie holding too many of us back. Somewhere along the way, we picked up this false idea that humility means shrinking, that dreaming big somehow makes us prideful. But here's the truth—thinking bigger isn't prideful, it's faithful. Playing small doesn't honor God. Stewarding your gifts—that's what glorifies Him. So today, we're tearing down the lie that safe and small equals holy. We're stepping into the dreams deep in your heart—the ones so bold and beautiful, you almost feel guilty for wanting them. The ones that whisper, “Who do you think you are?”   Here's the answer: You are His. And it's time to trust Him enough to dream bigger.
