This episode features an interview about the social history of cannabis in colonial South Asia. Utathya Chattopadhyaya is Assistant Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and coeditor of the journal The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs. Utathya's new book is Ganja Matters: Empire and the Pursuits of Cannabis in British India, which was recently published by the University of California Press. Presenting a sweeping social history of ganja in colonial India, the book examines the collision between different ways of viewing, using, and valuing cannabis products – namely, those of local religious, cultural, and political groups on the on the one hand and those of colonial administrators on the other. Through a multi-species analysis, the book uses ganja to explore broader themes of taxation, governance, transgression, and social identity.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is in high spirits despite a less than optimal end to his final season with the Warriors. The 32-year-old suffered an ACL injury in the opening minutes of the away game against the St George Illawarra Dragons in May, taking him out of the season. But instead of sitting on the sidelines, he's teamed up with Sky to be their expert analysis for the rest of the season, and his first home game in the role is this weekend's clash against the Dragons. Tuivasa-Sheck told Mike Hosking he was devastated to leave the club that way, as he had big plans for the season before it was cut short. “I was really, really sad, really gutted that that was my last inning for the club,” he said. “I've really invested a lot into the club of the Warriors and I love that place ... but that period has passed and I'm in a better place now.” Tuivasa-Sheck says he's all about “pumping up” the club and trying to do good things for it, and working on Sky is one such thing he can do.

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
People form an initial impression of you remarkably quickly. Whether the precise time is three seconds, seven seconds or slightly longer, the practical lesson for salespeople, executives and client-facing professionals is the same: your first impression begins before you start explaining your credentials, company or solution. In Japan, where professionalism, preparation and attention to detail carry considerable weight, leaving that impression to chance is risky. Your appearance, facial expression, eye contact, voice and opening question all influence whether a buyer initially sees you as credible, trustworthy and worth listening to. Here is how to intentionally engineer a strong first impression when meeting a client. How quickly do clients form a first impression? Clients begin evaluating you almost immediately, often before either person has spoken. Your appearance, posture, facial expression and general composure provide the first available evidence about your professionalism. The exact number of seconds will vary according to the person, situation and research method. However, buyers do make rapid judgements when meeting a salesperson, consultant or executive for the first time. They are subconsciously asking: Does this person look prepared? Are they confident? Can I trust them? Will meeting them be a good use of my time? This matters in both Japanese and international business. A buyer in Tokyo may pay particular attention to formality, punctuality and courtesy, while a buyer in Sydney or New York may respond more strongly to energy and directness. In every market, inconsistency creates doubt. If you claim to offer precision but appear disorganised, the buyer notices the contradiction. Do now: Decide what three qualities you want the client to recognise immediately, and make sure your appearance and behaviour communicate them before the meeting begins. How should a salesperson dress for a first client meeting? Dress so that nothing about your appearance distracts the buyer from your message. Cleanliness, fit, coordination and attention to detail are more important than wearing expensive clothing. Scuffed shoes, food stains, poorly fitting clothes, untidy hair or a worn belt may seem like minor matters. Unfortunately, buyers can interpret these signals as evidence of carelessness. It is difficult to promote a high-quality solution while looking as though quality control does not apply to you. For men wearing business attire, the belt should normally coordinate with the shoes, the tie knot should sit neatly against the collar and the jacket and trousers should fit properly. Women and men should both consider whether their clothing is suitable for the client, industry and level of formality. A technology startup may accept a more relaxed style than a Japanese bank, insurance company or government organisation. The goal is not flamboyance. The goal is visual credibility. Do now: Before leaving for the meeting, check your shoes, clothing, hair, accessories, bag and business materials from the buyer's point of view. Should you smile and bow when meeting a Japanese client? Yes. A natural smile followed by an appropriate bow communicates confidence, warmth and respect before the business conversation begins. Some salespeople become so focused on being formal that their expression becomes severe. Others rush through the greeting because they are nervous or worried about what to say next. A calm smile helps remove tension and tells the client that you are pleased to meet them. In Japan, the bow remains an important part of professional etiquette. The depth and duration will depend on the situation, but a controlled, respectful bow is generally more effective than an exaggerated performance. When exchanging business cards, handle the card carefully, look at it and avoid immediately stuffing it into a pocket. International professionals should adapt without becoming artificial. Japanese buyers do not expect every visitor to behave exactly like a Japanese executive, but they do notice sincere preparation and respect for local business customs. Do now: Practise a simple sequence: make eye contact, smile naturally, greet the person clearly and bow without rushing. How much eye contact is appropriate in Japanese business? Make clear initial eye contact to establish confidence, but avoid staring continuously. In Japan, balanced eye contact is usually more comfortable and culturally appropriate than an unbroken gaze. Eye contact tells the buyer that you are present, composed and interested. At the beginning of the meeting, several seconds of direct eye contact can help establish a connection. After that, allow your gaze to move naturally rather than trying to maintain constant visual contact. Cultural expectations differ. Western sales training often emphasises strong eye contact, while Japanese communication may involve more intermittent eye contact, particularly when showing respect to someone senior. Personality also matters. An assertive buyer may be comfortable with more direct engagement, whereas a quieter or more reflective client may find prolonged eye contact intrusive. The objective is not to follow a mechanical formula. It is to observe the buyer's reaction and adjust. Confident communication should make the other person comfortable, not force them to conform to your preferred style. Do now: Establish eye contact at the greeting, then use relaxed and periodic eye contact throughout the conversation. What should your voice sound like during the first meeting? Your opening voice should sound friendly, clear and confident rather than stiff, rushed or overly rehearsed. The buyer is listening to how you speak as well as what you say. Many salespeople accidentally adopt a cold "business voice". They become formal, lower their energy and sound as though they are reading a corporate announcement. Others mumble, speak too softly, talk too loudly or use a lifeless tone because they are nervous. A professional voice has warmth, clarity and variation. Speak slowly enough to be understood, especially when working across languages or communicating with non-native speakers. Use the buyer's name naturally near the beginning of the conversation. People generally respond positively to hearing their name, but repeating it in every sentence quickly sounds manipulative. Your visual, vocal and verbal messages should support one another. Confidence does not mean volume, and professionalism does not require emotional flatness. Do now: Record your opening greeting and listen for pace, volume, clarity, warmth and whether you sound genuinely pleased to meet the client. What is the best opening question for a sales meeting? The best opening question gets the buyer talking about their business, priorities or recent changes. Your first objective is to understand the client, not to deliver a long explanation about yourself. Instead of beginning with an extended company history, offer a brief, relevant observation and ask an intelligent question. For example: "I noticed your company has been expanding its regional operations. How has that affected the priorities of your team in Japan?" When something has changed in the client's office, organisation or market, do not merely point out the obvious. Ask about the impact. Has the change affected employees, customers, productivity, costs or growth plans? An effective initial sales conversation should normally give the buyer more speaking time than the salesperson. An 80–20 balance will not suit every meeting, but it is a useful reminder to stop talking and start listening. The buyer has the information you need to diagnose the problem and determine whether your solution is relevant. Do now: Prepare three open questions about the client's business, market and current priorities before entering the meeting. How can salespeople read the buyer's communication style? Listen to both the buyer's answers and the way they deliver them. Their pace, level of detail and degree of assertiveness reveal how you should communicate with them. Some buyers want the big picture first. They are interested in outcomes, strategic impact and the future. Others want facts, evidence, implementation details and risk controls before considering a recommendation. Some speak quickly and make decisions decisively, while others pause, reflect and avoid being pressured. A salesperson who ignores these differences may create unnecessary resistance. Giving twenty slides of operational detail to a big-picture executive can lose their attention. Presenting only broad promises to a highly analytical procurement or finance leader can damage credibility. Use the first part of the meeting to observe. Ask questions, listen without interrupting and notice which topics generate interest. Then adapt your language, evidence and pace while remaining authentic. Do now: Identify whether the buyer is primarily big-picture or detail-oriented, and whether they communicate assertively or quietly. Adjust your approach accordingly. Conclusion A strong first impression is not created by one clever phrase. It is the combined effect of your preparation, clothing, expression, eye contact, voice, questions and listening ability. Do not simply walk into a client meeting and hope that everything works out. Decide in advance how you want to be perceived and align every visible and audible signal with that objective. The first few seconds may not determine the entire business relationship, but they can determine how hard you will have to work to earn the buyer's confidence afterward.

The country's top museums are facing fire from the Trump Administration over a new report claiming the museums are engaging in extreme political activism by presenting 'radical views' of American history. Historians slam the report, saying it's unnecessarily adding more politics into history itself. It's often said that victors write history, but how does that apply when looking back at our own history? Greg and Holly discuss.

A year training under Dr. Robert Cialdini, the godfather of influence, changed Dr. Chris Phelps' entire business. In this episode, he shares why it can change yours too! After building four fee-for-service practices, Chris hit a wall every dentist knows. Patients weren't saying yes. Team members weren't following through. Associates weren't using the skills he'd paid to teach them. The problem wasn't clinical skill. It was human behavior, and once he understood how people actually make decisions, everything shifted. In this episode, Chris joins Peter and Ian to break down Cialdini's seven principles of persuasion and why they've become the most overlooked business skill in dentistry. They get into why logic alone never moves a patient, how the order you present treatment changes how many people say yes, and which single principle Chris says dentists botch the most, the one costing the profession billions. Peter shares how he built each principle into his own practice, from new-patient gifts to reviews to the simple shift of sitting beside patients instead of across from them. If you've ever heard "I'll think about it" and watched a case walk out the door, this one will change how you communicate for good. DESCRIPTION The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode: 448 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Ian de Jongh SPECIAL GUEST: Dr. Chris Phelps In this episode, Peter Boulden and Ian de Jongh sit down with Dr. Chris Phelps, one of the few dentists personally certified by Dr. Robert Cialdini in the science of influence and persuasion. Together they explore how behavioral science can transform case acceptance, leadership, patient communication, and practice growth. Chris shares the lessons he learned while rebuilding struggling practices during the financial crisis and explains how understanding human behavior became the catalyst for dramatically improving both patient outcomes and business performance. TAKEAWAYS Patients make decisions emotionally before they justify them logically. Communication is one of the most valuable skills a dentist can develop. Presenting treatment from highest value to lowest value increases acceptance. Authority and trust work together to influence patient decisions. Commitment is one of the most powerful drivers of follow-through. Too many treatment options often create decision paralysis. Technology should support relationships, not replace them. Social proof builds confidence and reduces uncertainty. Small changes in language can significantly improve case acceptance. Understanding behavioral science makes dentists better leaders and communicators. Great patient experiences are built on trust, not persuasion tactics. Success leaves clues across every industry.

You can't grow a business you can't defend. Every line item on your P&L deserves a real answer when someone asks why it's there. For years as a corporate CFO, I learned a framework for reviewing business expenses that I now use with every Kickstart Accounting client. It is a step-by-step method for small business owners who feel like their profit is leaking somewhere but cannot see exactly where. I walk through how to pull every vendor in your business, grade each one against your actual operations, and create an action plan you can defend. By the end you will know exactly how to bring boardroom-level accountability to your business spending. In this episode of CEO Numbers Network, I break down the expense grading framework into 5 steps any business owner can execute this week. You will learn how to audit every vendor in your business and apply the A/B/C grading system that CFOs use in boardroom reviews. If you have ever felt overwhelmed looking at your P&L or signed up for subscriptions you can no longer defend, this episode gives you the framework to take ownership back.
While most investors take their foot off the gas to enjoy the warmer weather and school holidays, the current market climate makes it the perfect time to secure massive discounts. A combination of heatwaves, sporting distractions, and political uncertainty has created a prime buyers' market filled with highly motivated sellers. As Simon explains in this episode, by proactively following up on past offers, exploring sluggish auction lots, and building direct rapport with estate agents to uncover their struggling listings, savvy investors can capitalise on quiet summer months before the market heat returns in autumn. KEY TAKEAWAYS The current buyers' market is ripe with motivated sellers willing to offer steep discounts or flexible terms to move their properties. One of the most immediate actions you can take is following up on every single property you have previously viewed or made an offer on. Submitting low-ball offers on properties you aren't entirely sure about is still a smart strategy because every asset becomes a bargain at the right price. Presenting estate agents with proof of funds, a decision in principle, and solicitor details builds instant credibility and gets you into their exclusive "black book" for off-market deals. BEST MOMENTS "Let's face it, the property market is on fire sale, literally. It is a buyer's market where there are more sellers than there are buyers..." "I'm surprised how many people put all the time and effort into find a property, view it, and then they don't bother to put an offer in." "There will be a price at which that property is an absolute bargain and you'd be a fool not to buy it." “Property is a people business. There's no substitute for actually getting out and meeting people."

One of the most common presenting failures is being too rigid in one's preparation and delivery. If you're not well prepared, and therefore flexible, your rigidity can cause your message to not be persuasive.
At ACDIS 2026 I delivered an unofficial episode of Off the Record with my guest today: Tracy Ferro, Executive Director, System CDI for Medical University of South Carolina Health (MUSC). The “podcast” was delivered on stage, at the outpatient symposium. MUSC's OP CDI program is new and being built in flight, and Tracy and I presented on it together, running the session a bit like an episode of #OTR. Full disclosure: Norwood partnered with MUSC, large academic health system, to implement OP CDI. That was a challenge! As was the Chicago presentation. On today's episode we talk not only about MUSC's OP CDI efforts but the presentation itself, including the prep and leadup and “game day.” And much more on Tracy's unique leadership style and the importance of storytelling to drive home lessons (she's wonderful at this). Listen in as we discuss: Tracy's healthcare background, a memorable nursing experience, and path into CDI. The art of leadership: Style and lessons learned from childhood and beyond MUSC's outpatient CDI origins: The why behind the program What a pre-visit review looks like, including the use of Epic's Enhanced Risk Adjustment Framework. Governance, workflows, reporting, and early outcomes. Outpatient CDI impact and next steps for the new program Presenting at ACDIS 2026, including tips on prep and combatting stage nerves An unexpected Sharpie arm signature and a song for the OTR Spotify playlist...

Veteran reporter Joe Nocera, of The Free Press, investigates a 94-year-old murder case that deserves a second look: the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh, Jr. Little Lindy was the infant son of the most famous man in the world at the time: an aviator who had achieved impossible feats. Unsurprisingly, the case was a media sensation in 1932: especially when German immigrant Bruno Hauptmann was tried and executed for the crime. Hauptmann professed his innocence to the end: but could he have been telling the truth? This is a series that asks: was this case America's first great conspiracy? The Free Press, like CBS News, is owned by Paramount Skydance.
