Summary In this episode, Ali Damron delves into the concept of neuroplastic symptoms, emphasizing the significant role fear plays in chronic symptoms. She explains how fear can manifest in various forms and how it can perpetuate a cycle of symptoms.  The discussion covers the importance of understanding the symptom-fear cycle, breaking the fear loop, and reconditioning the brain to respond differently to symptoms. Ali also introduces the concept of somatic tracking as a tool for healing and encourages listeners to approach their symptoms with curiosity and gentleness.   Takeaways Many chronic symptoms may stem from brain patterns rather than physical damage. Fear can manifest in various forms, affecting our health. Changing our response to symptoms can help alleviate them. The symptom-fear cycle can create a feedback loop of anxiety and symptoms. Self-compassion and reducing pressure are crucial for healing. Predictive coding can lead to anticipating symptoms based on fear. It's essential to break the fear loop to regain control over symptoms. Reconditioning the brain involves teaching it that sensations are safe. Avoiding triggers can reinforce fear; exposure is necessary for healing. Somatic tracking is a powerful tool for changing the brain's relationship to symptoms.

Today we’re diving into something I talk about often but realise not everyone has heard before: the big "A" word—algorithm. This topic takes us full circle because the very first episode I recorded, nearly five years ago, was all about why your social media content might not be working—and yes, the algorithm was front and center. A lot has changed since then. The algorithm moves fast—it's shifted over the last 12 months, even over the last few weeks. So today, I want to not only break down what’s changed, but also focus on what’s actually working right now—and just as importantly, what you should avoid.

"It's not about throwing tech or SDRs at the problem. If your teams aren't aligned, your content isn't differentiated, and your ICP isn't predictive, you'll keep spinning your wheels. ABM has to be a full go-to-market motion not just better targeting.” Kristina Jaramillo In this episode of Revenue Boost: A Marketing Podcast, titled Beyond ABM Platforms: How Predictive ICP and GTM Alignment Drive Revenue Results Kerry Curran sits down with Kristina Jaramillo, President of Personal ABM, to dive deep into the real meaning of an account-based go-to-market strategy (GTM) and why tech platforms alone won't fix your revenue challenges. Kristina reveals why many B2B teams misfire with ABM—treating it as a marketing campaign or demand gen add-on rather than a full-funnel revenue strategy. She breaks down: The difference between segment-level intent and predictive ICP How to build messaging that teaches for differentiation not just against competitors, but against the status quo Why content needs to align with enterprise priorities, not just pain points How to activate and align sales, marketing, and customer success for long-term customer value Why expansion and retention need the same strategic rigor as net-new acquisition Whether you're in SaaS, services, or B2B tech, this episode will help you rethink how your team is going to market and who you're truly built to serve.

Over the years we have discussed the selective and predictive programming in music, movies, television, etc., in regard to everything from UFOs to human trafficking and child abuse. The movie Independence Day, released July 3, 1996, seemed to predict the appearance of a city-sized UFO, which manifested in Phoenix as the infamous ‘Phoenix Lights' on March 13, 1997. The movie Nope seemed to predict the shooting down of objects over Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron, one of which had “strings hanging off” of it like in the movie UFO. Movies like Spotlight and the Sound of Freedom show us the underbelly of sexual abuse and trafficking. During the pandemic the top movies were Contagion, 28 Days Later, and 12 Monkeys. A 2022 Netflix film called White Noise, about a train carrying toxic chemicals derailing in a small Ohio town, was brought to life when on February 3, 2023, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in the same town, East Palestine, Ohio, which was used for filming the movie crash. M. Night Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin did something similar with plane crashes and earthquakes. In fact, the movie was released on the day of the Ohio train wreck, February 3rd. The next day a FedEx cargo plane almost landed on a commercial Southwest flight. A week later an American Airlines flight ran into a bus on the taxiway. A few days later a report came out about a United Airlines flight that fell 1,400ft out of the sky after take off from Hawaii. Long after the movie was shot, but before release, two other planes almost collided at JFK and before that the NOTAM system went down grounding flights nationwide. In the middle of all this, three days after the movie release, a massive 7.8 earthquake rocked Turkey and opened up an enormous chasm in the earth. The movie ends with fire beginning to engulf the earth, a prelude to the upcoming movie Oppenheimer. These are themes also in the upcoming Dune 2 and Fallout tv adaption. The new Wes Anderson movie Asteroid City is now setting the stage, literally, for an excepted flop and expected hit, i.e. the Barbie movie and Oppenheimer, both set to be released on July 21, 2023. Asteroid City is really a movie about a play, wherein the actors and audience move in-between sets, between what is real and what is staged. In Asteroid City there are quarantines, aliens, doorways between worlds, and in the background atomic bombs, disassociate from reality. In the Barbie movie promos the character stands within a mirror. The backdrops and sets are also similar, even in the pastel-like colors, to the Barbie movie, which is obviously about Barbie Land and how dolls with no human essence journey into the world of humans. In one scene there are two X's stacked on top of each other, perhaps signifying the XX chromosomes of women, of which Barbie does not have. She is plastic, a doll, and not real. The point is that in a fake world the only thing that matters is the mask and outward appearance, and thus one can be a man or woman by choice. Also, in the Barbie movie there is supposedly a map showing China's claimed territory of Vietnam which prompted that country to ban the movie. How interesting is it then that Barbie is provoking fears of atomic war and its release date is on the same day as Oppenheimer, which is about the atomic bomb. A similar thing happened in Christopher Nolan's movie Dark Knight Rises, released July 20, 2012, when one of the strike zones in the city was listed on a map as Sandy Hook - like the shooting on December 14, 2012. Interestingly, July 20 was also the Aurora, Colorado, shooting which took place during a screening of Nolan's new Batman movie. The release of these two movies on the same day contrasts the fake world of PINK with the real world of BLACK, themes that can be found all throughout pop-culture, from the Powerpuff Girls in the 1990s, which features black goo and three homunculi, one of which is pink, to recent hit songs like Pink Venom, from the band BLACKPINK, which features black apples, black goo, broken mirrors signifying split personalities, along religious and mythic imagery. One line is “the fire that'll slowly put you to sleep.” A year prior to Pink Venom an article from Reuters out of Japan stated the following of Moderna shots: “Black substances were spotted in syringes and a vial, with pink substances found in another syringe, the health ministry said.”The innocence and purity of pink mixed with mysterious chemicals, massive explosions, etc., create mutations that turn us into something not human – something barbaric or mutated by radiation. That's what media and movies do, be it through coincidence, predictive programming, movie magic, or retro causality. The question is do you prefer the womblike matrix of Barbie or the real world of Oppenheimer that is about to be engulfed in flames? Will you take the high heel or Birkenstock, the blue pill or the red?  Will you be human or turn over the codes to Zion for a steak and glass of wine?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Welcome to the Sell With Authority podcast. If you've been with us for a while, you're probably expecting to hear Stephen's voice kicking things off. But we've temporarily booted him off the mic — for a very good reason. His daughter is about to graduate, and we wanted to make sure he could soak up every moment with his family. I'm Hannah Roth, Director of Strategy and mad scientist here at Predictive ROI and I'm stepping in as your host for the next few weeks. For this special four-part series, I'm sitting down with Erik Jensen — co-owner, Chief Strategy Officer, and my strategic co-pilot here at Predictive. Erik and I are in the trenches every day, helping agency owners like you solve the messy, complex challenges that keep your business stuck in place. And one of those major sticking points? Sales. Today's episode is part two, and we're diving into what we call the Focus Fog. Erik unpacks the risks of being the “everything agency” — and how your good intentions to do more might actually be clouding your sales process, confusing your prospects, and holding your agency back. What you will learn in this episode: Why the “focus fog” is quietly sabotaging agency growth and how to recognize it before it's too late The psychological drivers that keep agencies stuck as generalists What happens when sales and ops don't see eye to eye How stacking 3-5 “lenses” helps your agency niche down without killing off creativity Real research and stats proving highly specialized agencies land more right-fit clients The hidden cost of one-and-done projects versus repeatable, scalable work How clarity in your focus transforms sales, onboarding, marketing, AND lets you eventually escape founder-led sales Resources: Website: www.predictiveroi.com Visit our newly expanded Resource Library Join us in our free How to Fill Your Sales Pipeline Facebook Group Erik's LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-jensen-b9946068/ Hannah's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-roth-387a6b223/ Order your free paperback or Kindle copy of our Book: Sell with Authority

It's fairly pointless to analyze metaphors in isolation. They're used in a cumulative way as part of real or imagined conversations. That meshes with a newish way of understanding the brain: as largely a prediction engine. If that's true, what would it mean for metaphorical names in code?Sources* Lisa Feldman Barrett, "The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization," Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2017.

Focus on qualified leads if you actually care about growth.” – Eran Friendinger“AI isn't replacing marketers. It's making the best ones unstoppable.” – Jeff Mains“Stop asking ‘what happened' and start asking ‘what's about to happen.' That's the predictive mindset.” – Eran Friendinger“You don't need more dashboards. You need better signals.” – Jeff Mains“Give your ad network better feedback, and it will give you better leads. It's that simple.” – Eran FriendingerSaaS Leadership LessonsCost per lead is not the real metric – Focus on cost per qualified lead and lifetime value to optimize for scale, not vanity metrics.Predictive data > historical data – SaaS growth requires real-time insights and forecasting, not just post-mortem reports.AI + signal optimization = sharper targeting – Give better feedback to ad platforms and build feedback loops for stronger performance.Marketing and product should align on data – The best SaaS teams know what high-value users look like and build around them.Great culture is a multiplier – Adaptability, experimentation, and shared vision win even in high-tech environments.Start with one high-leverage data insight – You don't need a perfect model. Just one predictive insight can shift your whole strategy.Guest ResourcesEmail - eran@voyantis.aiWebsite - http://voyantis.ai/Linkedin -

Welcome to Thursday's broadcast of chaos and clarity. In Episode 1145, Jay Allen dives into:

Welcome to Sell With Authority! I'm Hannah Roth, Director of Strategy and resident mad scientist here at Predictive ROI. And before you double-check your podcast app — yes, you are in the right place. If you've been a longtime listener, you're probably used to hearing Stephen kick things off. But today, I've hijacked the mic for a good reason. Stephen's daughter is about to graduate; CONGRATS to the whole Woessner crew! We've gently nudged him off the show for the next few weeks so he can enjoy that special time with his family. In the meantime, I'll be your host for the next four episodes, and I'm really excited about what we have planned. Each week, I'll be joined by Erik Jensen, my strategic co-pilot, co-owner, and our Chief Strategy Officer here at Predictive. We are in the trenches every day working with agency owners, helping them navigate the big challenges that hold them back from scaling with confidence. Erik and I are kicking off a four-part series about why agencies struggle with sales — and more importantly — what to do about it. In today's episode we focus on what we call “The Referral Trap.” Referrals are great… until they're not. Too many agencies rely on them as their primary source of new business — but that's risky. We discuss why the illusion of “plenty of referrals” is so dangerous, and what to do before they dry up without warning. What you will learn in this episode: Why so many agency owners fall into the “referral trap” The not-so-obvious risks of relying on referrals How passivity with prospects infects your sales culture — and leads to missed revenue from both new prospects AND existing clients The candid truth about “not having time” for sales A rock solid step-by-step way to take control of your biz dev Why your list is one of the most important assets that your agency can have How to assess if your list is actually filled with viable prospects Resources: Website: www.predictiveroi.com Visit our newly expanded Resource Library Join us in our free How to Fill Your Sales Pipeline Facebook Group Erik's LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-jensen-b9946068/ Hannah's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-roth-387a6b223/ Order your free paperback or Kindle copy of our Book: Sell with Authority

The last thing anybody wants to do is sit for a meaningless test. Entrance exams like the SAT & ACT should be able to inform both test takers and target institutions about the likelihood of success at the next level. So do they? Amy and Mike invited educator David Blobaum to explore the predictive validity of test scores in college admissions. What are five things you will learn in this episode? Research says that SAT/ACT scores are better predictors of success at Ivy-plus colleges than are high school grades–why? Have any other colleges beyond the Ivy-plus colleges made similar statements? Why have colleges not gone back to requiring test scores then if they're so predictive? Do test-optional colleges value SAT/ACT scores? Are test-blind colleges blind to all tests? MEET OUR GUEST David Blobaum graduated from the University of Chicago with honors both from the college and in his major. In college, he took seriously the University of Chicago's aim of a “Renaissance” or well-rounded education and took courses in 17 different disciplines, ranging from Statistics and Economics to Philosophy and Art History. Since then, he has devoted himself to helping students reach their potential on the SAT and ACT and, more broadly, to help them succeed through education.  To that end, in 2013, he founded Summit Prep with a former UChicago classmate. They now have two tutoring centers in New Jersey, and their team of SAT/ACT experts privately tutors over 500 students per year. David is a consultant to schools on SAT/ACT best practices, personally trains each Summit Prep tutor one-on-one, and tutors a select few students himself. David not only teaches students the necessary subject matter but also motivates them to continually strive towards their potential. David first appeared on the podcast in episode 79 to discuss Why The SAT And ACT Are Awesome, in episode 582 to discuss The Need For Testing Sites In California, and in episode 421 for a Sponsor Spotlight.

In this episode, I'm joined by Julia Geronimi from Servier and Dr. Pavel Mozgunov from the University of Cambridge to explore a topic that's absolutely central to advancing precision medicine—predictive biomarkers. We dive into the challenges of identifying predictive vs. prognostic biomarkers, especially in early-phase clinical trials with limited sample sizes. What makes their approach so exciting is that it offers a model-flexible, visually intuitive way to detect predictiveness—even before we talk about dichotomizing biomarkers or setting cutoffs. If you work on clinical trial design, translational science, or biomarker development, this conversation will give you fresh tools—and a lot to think about.

In this episode, we chat with Wilson Monteiro, Global Business Line Manager for Gearless Mill Drives at ABB who are a leading provider of technologies and solutions for various industries, such as mining in motion, process and robotics. Wilson tells us about ABB, gearless technology, predictive maintenance, automation, digitalisation, and much more around the process and technology space. KEY TAKEAWAYS Wilson has a diverse background in electrical engineering, sales, and management, with extensive experience in automation and artificial intelligence. His career has spanned various roles at ABB and other companies, leading to his current position managing the gearless mill drive business globally. Uptime is critical in the mining industry, not only for profit but also for sustainability. Keeping machinery operational minimises CO2 emissions and maximises the efficiency of existing assets, which is increasingly important as the industry faces pressure to reduce emissions and improve productivity. Gearless mill drives (GMDs) are highlighted as a more energy-efficient solution compared to traditional technologies, offering up to 3.6% energy savings. This efficiency is significant when considering the large number of GMDs in operation globally, contributing to lower carbon footprints in mining operations. The shift towards integrated electrification, automation, and digitalisation is essential for modern mining operations. This integration leads to safer operations, fewer personnel on-site, and improved communication between systems, ultimately enhancing productivity and safety. Predictive maintenance, powered by AI, allows for proactive management of equipment by using real-time data to anticipate issues before they occur. This approach not only extends the life of machinery but also enhances operational efficiency and safety by reducing unexpected breakdowns. BEST MOMENTS "Uptime used to be all about profit. Today, it's about sustainability, too. Even a small hiccup can mean millions in lost production." "GMDs cut out mechanical losses because there is no gearbox or coupling. That alone gives you up to 3.6% energy savings." "It's not cost versus reliability. They go hand in hand. Reliable systems mean fewer unexpected shutdowns, which means fewer people exposed to risk." "Historically, mining has always been an industry slow to adopt change. There's a "Today, I can see some companies moving in a different pattern. Tech Quebrada Blanca is one of them; they have the best approach for operating a mine."

Discover why “thought work” is a torture device for perfectionidtic people and how the “CTFAR Model” does not actually work for any human with a brainQ: What's really going on when I'm overwhelmed by emotions even if everything looks fine on the outside?
A: You'll learn the neuroscientific difference between feelings and emotions, plus why this distinction puts an to the cycle of overthinking feelings and asking “what is wrong with me”Q: What's the biggest misconception high-achievers have about feelings?
A: Most of us have a totally backward understanding of where feelings come from (and it's not just psychological!). Courtney reveals the real, science-backed answer.Q: How can I feel my feelings without getting “lost” in them or falling apart?
A: Tune in for a client success story and discover a practical tool—the “mood meter”—to help you regain control and function, even on tough days.Q: Does thinking rationally mean I can escape feelings?
A: Logic and rationality can't bypass feelings. Find out why every decision (yes, even the “rational” ones!) are shaped by your mood — and how to use this knowledge to your advantage.Q: What's one quick, practical tweak I can use to feel better fast?
A: Courtney shares micro-strategies (think 30 seconds to 3 minutes) you can use right away to change your mood—and your experience.Highly Credible Resources Cited in this EpisodeBar, M. (2009).

The IPS Morning Deprogram5/5/25 The IPS Morning Deprogram is planned to be a steady program beginning in 2025, operating in the mornings, with evening open phone sessions complementing it. The purpose of the Morning D program is to set the stage for later discussions. The host utilizes automations and AI agents in their workflow. The program is described as a "work in progress," not yet in its "final form".The core focus of the program is media analysis and propaganda analysis, covering information from both news and entertainment. The host positions the program's approach as philosophical, detached, and distinct from conspiracy theorists, mainstream news, activists, or QAnon. The goal is not to "wake people up" or "fight the deep state".The session begins with a discussion of a clip from an individual who worked in security for 15 years, commenting on the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July. The security expert suggests the attempt was staged because standard security protocol dictates keeping the target on the ground and shielded, not standing them upright for a "photo op". The host agrees that the event was staged but argues that the security expert's perspective is limited because he is "in the box" of mainstream mediation and mixes "real" and "fake" elements. This mixing of real and fake is labeled as "confusion," "MSM Plus," or a "normie take".The host contends that when someone believes an event is partially real (e.g., believing a shooter or victim died) while also seeing signs of fakery, they often invent complex explanations or conspiracy theories to reconcile the inconsistencies. Examples given include the idea that a "degenerate kid" was hired to shoot and miss but accidentally killed someone, or questioning how an AP photographer captured the bullet.The host's approach is informed disbelief and suspending judgment when consuming media. The principle is that "if there's any hint of fakery body count goes to zero" until an actual crime is proven. This contrasts with "conspiracy theorists" or "false flaggers" who might believe an event is a conspiracy but still accept that people died.A significant theme is the critique of the left-right political paradigm, which the host views as both sides colluding against the masses. Events are often presented as "bifurcated PSYOPs," where both sides agree the event happened but blame the other side for the cause. Examples include helicopter crashes (blaming DEI vs. funding cuts) and mass shootings (blaming gun culture vs. antidepressants).The session also discusses recent events framed as potential psyops or theater. The Austin Metcalfe stabbing and the Shiloh Hendricks incident are presented as being put in the same conversation, described as a "proxy race war" engineered psychological operation, potentially timed for the summer. The GoFundMe accounts associated with these incidents are seen as part of building a "race war narrative".Predictive programming and synchronicity between media/entertainment and real-world events are explored. Examples include parallels between Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan (blading technique), Nick Fuentes and David Duke, Elon Musk and a character in "the madness", Laura Loomer and a character named Laura Jennings, and the timing and imagery of the Trump assassination attempt aligning with scenes in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. The Ave Maria performance at a Trump rally 84 days after the alleged shooting is highlighted as a parallel to the song sung by the Riddler in The Batman. The fact that both alleged Trump shooters appeared in BlackRock commercials is noted, which is seen by others as evidence of a "deep state" plot but by the host as evidence of individuals being within the "PSYOP entertainment complex" or "the club".Religious and symbolic themes are discussed, such as Pope Francis and Klaus Schwab stepping down on the same day at age 88, a number associated with twins and duality. The host questions if Pope Francis is truly dead or if the death was staged. Trump sharing an AI video portraying himself as Pope is mentioned, along with the QAnon belief that Trump is the new Pope. The Aramaic word "Abracadabra," meaning "I create as I speak," is discussed in the context of spellcraft, media, and shaping worldviews.Critiques are leveled against certain conspiracy theories, including the idea that reality is a simulation. The host argues that simulation theory is a "psyop" and "cognitive sabotage" designed to undermine the credibility of those who see through media manipulation. The host distinguishes their position, stating that reality exists and is objective, predictable, testable, and reliable, while media is not. Believing reality is fake because media is fake is seen as confusing the map with the territory.The host also critiques "truthers" who dismiss fake events entirely without analysis, viewing this as a form of "gaslighting" or "damage control" because fake events are precisely

In this powerful episode of For the Love of History, host TC is joined by scholar and author Dr. Anita Say Chan to explore the unsettling historical roots of modern data science and artificial intelligence. Drawing from her groundbreaking book Predatory Data: Eugenics in Big Tech and Our Fight for an Independent Future, Anita uncovers how today's predictive algorithms trace back to 19th-century eugenics. Yes, really. Statistical regression—the backbone of online recommendation engines—was developed by a eugenicist. And that's just the beginning. We unpack how algorithmic bias, data colonialism, and techno-eugenics operate in today's platforms—from Facebook's role in global violence to the AI industry's resistance to regulation. If you're curious about the intersections of technology, race, gender, and power, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

Episode 245: What happens when digital transformation becomes table stakes—and customer relationships become the real differentiator? Eduardo Roma, Global Head of Customer Experience Transformation at Bain, believes companies that spent years optimizing transactions and digitizing every interaction are now unprepared for what matters most: becoming more humanized. The human element is now critical, and efficiency can't be mistaken for real connection. Eduardo outlines three forces reshaping customer experience: Digital is now table stakes, customer power has surged to new heights, and predictive, data-driven relationships are setting brands apart.  Too many organizations still equate digitization with progress while missing what actually builds loyalty: emotional relevance, early engagement, and personalized support that evolves alongside customer needs. Learn how leading firms are using data to build trust, earn loyalty, and deliver meaningful value—especially in the earliest moments of the customer relationship. And discover how to make customer engagement a true driver of growth.

And what I mean by that is how to make interactions with customers much more meaningful, much more relevant, [and] much more personalized in a way that those interactions build enduring relationships with customers.” “There are way too many degrees of separation of people who understand the customers and where some of the decisions are being made. It is important for organizations to be aware of those blind spots and to close those gaps.” “The whole idea of just focusing on the experience, we need to move people beyond that. Move to relationships, to stop and think where we are on this experience pointing in time. We need a more holistic view.”  ”Now, customers are much more in control. That is [a] transformation of organizations, when they think about the reach and relevance of the relationship they have with customers.” Additional Resources: Transforming Customer Experience with AI: A Guide to Sustainable Growth (A webinar by Eduardo Roma, Rob Markey, and Phil Sager) Eduardo Roma on Three Changes on Customer Engagement (Video located on Eduardo's profile page)
