Over the years, we've had our fair share of expectations that ended in disappointment—sometimes around big moments like birthdays, and other times over something as simple as how we spend a Saturday.It's taken us a while to discover that what caused many of these conflicts was a lack of proactive communication, or as we like to say, a failure to “push information.” Pushing information is simply taking the time to communicate in advance your current hopes and desires (or even how you are used to doing things in the past).Pushing information to your spouse may take some time and effort upfront, but we know from experience what a valuable tool this strategy can be in avoiding unnecessary arguments and hurt.In this episode, you'll learn about:The importance of comparing your “normals”Why proactive communication is key for healthy relationshipsPractical tips for being clear with your expectationsAnd more!This has been such a helpful tool that we've used in coaching and in our marriage! We hope it helps you turn confusion and disappointment into clarity and contentment.Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/proactive-communication-249You're invited to our Transform Weekend June 6-8, 2025 or October 17-19, 2025.

In the last episode of this week, we've got Cody Koehler returning to the show to explain the impact of DOT Blitz Week on freight brokers and customers, and some trends in the market that you should know!   Here's What to Learn From This Episode: DOT Blitz Week Impact: Significant capacity crunches & rate spikes noted; brokers can leverage this time to solidify customer relations, even at a loss. Proactive carrier sourcing essential; reactive strategies expose operational gaps. Insights indicate future market volatility trends. Carrier Relationships & Rate Management: Premium rates are necessary during peak weeks to maintain capacity. Lack of support during tough weeks risks business loss to competitors. Key differentiators: tender acceptance & customer communication. Short-term losses viewed as long-term investments for relationship growth. Market Trends & Data Interpretation: Identify market shifts by tracking rate/capacity changes post-major events. Observations indicate weak fresh produce demand; diversification into dry, frozen, and dairy/deli sectors recommended. Notable muted demand in flatbed/open deck freight tied to construction commodities. Sales Strategy & Prospect Engagement: Consistency in prospecting, such as 50 cold calls/day, remains crucial despite high rejection rates. Establishing relationships early positions brokers for future opportunities. Increased cold call receptiveness observed; onboarding paperwork should be completed proactively. Final Recommendations: Proactively set up shippers with necessary documentation, even without immediate loads. Relationship building and preparedness against market shifts crucial for future success.

In the wake of 2020's seismic shifts in public perception, police agencies across the country are reevaluating their strategies for preventing crime. While reactive policing still dominates the landscape, there's growing recognition that proactive strategies — built on research, precision and community engagement — offer a more sustainable path forward. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley sits down with one of the leading voices in evidence-based policing to discuss how officers and agencies can move beyond fear and resistance and toward effective, proactive crime reduction. Dr. Cynthia Lum is a former Baltimore police officer turned professor of criminology, law and society, and director of George Mason University's Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy. A national leader in translating research into practice, Dr. Lum discusses how police can break away from outdated “toolkits” and instead build smarter, more strategic approaches to patrol. She emphasizes that proactive policing isn't about doing more stops — it's about doing the right work in the right way, backed by data and shaped by mentoring, organizational support and critical thinking.

But this reactive approach misses the fundamental opportunity to build a proactive review strategy from day one.The modern consumer researches more thoroughly than ever before, often contacting five or more businesses before making decisions. In this landscape, your review profile serves as your digital storefront, with authenticity being the key differentiator. Rather than obsessing over a perfect 5.0 score (which consumers increasingly view with skepticism), the goal should be a substantial collection of genuine reviews averaging around 4.8-4.9 - a range that communicates excellence while maintaining credibility.Implementing this proactive approach requires structural commitment: weekly strategy sessions focusing specifically on review generation, incorporating review objectives into morning team meetings, training staff to recognize satisfaction cues, and creating effective asking techniques. The real power comes from consistency - collecting one positive review daily creates a powerful buffer against the occasional negative experience that every business inevitably encounters.For employees, becoming a champion of the review-gathering process adds tremendous value both personally and professionally. In a job market where finding dedicated, growth-oriented talent remains challenging, being the team member who consistently contributes to building the business's online reputation can significantly enhance your career trajectory and earning potential.Ready to transform your approach? Stop waiting for crises to care about your reputation. Build the systems, train your team, and create the consistency that turns review management from a source of anxiety into a cornerstone of your business strategy.

In this on-location episode recorded at the RSAC Conference, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sit down once again with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, to unpack what Zero Trust really looks like in practice—and how organizations can actually get started without feeling buried by complexity.Rather than focusing on theory or buzzwords, Rob lays out a clear path that begins with visibility. “You can't control what you can't see,” he explains. The first step toward Zero Trust is deploying lightweight agents that automatically build a view of the software running across your environment. From there, policies can be crafted to default-deny unknown applications, while still enabling legitimate business needs through controlled exceptions.The Zero Trust Mindset: Assume Breach, Limit AccessRob echoes the federal mandate definition of Zero Trust: assume a breach has already occurred and limit access to only what is needed. This assumption flips the defensive posture from reactive to proactive. It's not about waiting to detect bad behavior—it's about blocking the behavior before it starts.The ThreatLocker approach stands out because it focuses on removing the traditional “heavy lift” often associated with Zero Trust implementations. Rob highlights how some organizations have spent years trying (and failing) to activate overly complex systems, only to end up stuck with unused tools and endless false positives. ThreatLocker's automation is designed to lower that barrier and get organizations to meaningful control faster.Modern Threats, Simplified DefensesAs AI accelerates the creation of polymorphic malware and low-code attack scripts, Zero Trust offers a counterweight. Deny-by-default policies don't require knowing every new threat—just clear guardrails that prevent unauthorized activity, no matter how it's created. Whether it's PowerShell scripts exfiltrating data or AI-generated exploits, proactive controls make it harder for attackers to operate undetected.This episode reframes Zero Trust from an overwhelming project into a series of achievable, common-sense steps. If you're ready to hear what it takes to stop chasing false positives and start building a safer, more controlled environment, this conversation is for you.Learn more about ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer, ThreatLocker | https://www.linkedin.com/in/threatlockerrob/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from ThreatLocker: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/threatlockerLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25______________________Keywords:sean martin, marco ciappelli, rob allen, zero trust, cybersecurity, visibility, access control, proactive defense, ai threats, policy automation, brand story, brand marketing, marketing podcast, brand story podcast______________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage? Learn More 

In this episode, Tom and Adam dive into a common challenge business owners face—achieving success but still operating as if they're struggling. Many entrepreneurs have built thriving businesses, yet they hesitate to fully embrace their success, still holding onto old fears and habits from when they were starting out.Using an insightful “new computer” analogy, they break down why some business owners metaphorically leave their new, upgraded system in the box, afraid to use the resources and time they've worked so hard to earn. They also explore how stress and uncertainty can trigger default behaviors, causing business owners to revert to outdated mindsets.Tom and Adam also discuss the importance of communication in partnerships—both in business and at home. They highlight how many entrepreneurs fail to align expectations with their spouses, families, and business partners, leading to unnecessary friction. The conversation touches on why business growth requires not just internal change, but also open dialogue and recalibrated relationships with those around you.Key Takeaways:✅ You've built it, now use it! Many entrepreneurs have grown their businesses but still act as if they're struggling. It's time to open the metaphorical "new computer" and leverage your success.✅ Default mode vs. upgraded mode: Stress often makes business owners revert to outdated habits. Recognizing this can help prevent self-sabotage.✅ The power of expectations: Unspoken expectations can cause frustration—both in business and personal relationships. Clear communication is key!✅ Permission vs. forgiveness: Too many business owners make big decisions without consulting their partners and then ask for forgiveness later. Proactive communication prevents unnecessary conflict.✅ Entrepreneurs and communication challenges: Business owners need to adapt their outreach methods and recognize that different clients prefer different ways of communication.Mentioned in This Episode:

SummaryIn this conversation, Mo Arbas and Paul Miller discuss the complexities of client management in the advisory sector, emphasizing the importance of proactive engagement and understanding the annual client cycle. They explore the challenges of balancing technology with client needs, the significance of routine communication, and the necessity of shifting mindsets regarding tax preparation. The discussion highlights strategies for building successful client relationships and managing expectations throughout the year.TakeawaysTechnology can be a double-edged sword in client management.Learning to say no is crucial for prioritizing tasks.Client relationships are ongoing and require continuous engagement.Tax filing should be a routine part of a larger process.Proactive communication can prevent last-minute rushes.Understanding the annual client cycle is essential for effective management.Routine check-ins can alleviate end-of-year stress.Clients often view tax preparation as just another step in the process.Effective client management requires clear scope and engagement definitions.Building a knowledge base can enhance client communication and service.Keywords: technology, client management, annual cycle, proactive engagement, communication, tax preparation, client relationships, advisory services, workflow, business strategy

In episode 150, “Top 3 things to change if you want sustainable, predictable revenue,” Jess takes an honest look at what's actually driving revenue in the B2B sales world right now. If you're a coach, consultant, trainer, or any kind of service provider who dreams of reliable income, switching off for the summer, and still signing corporate clients… this is the episode you can't afford to skip. As May ushers in a critical sales window before the quiet summer months, Jess kicks off by sharing how she uses this quarter to finalise deals and take the summer off - focusing on making sure business is set up for success so she (and you!) can unplug without worrying about finances. But while she's going to be relaxing, she wants you to be equally strategic—especially given growing misconceptions in the business world about what actually works for B2B sales in 2025.  Key Takeaways in This Episode 1. What corporates actually are—and why this matters. Jess clarifies what counts as a “corporate” for the purposes of this podcast: organisations that are not solopreneur-run, have permanent employees, a board or higher structure, and operate in both private and public sectors. If you're targeting founder-led micro-businesses, the B2B tactics you hear about online likely won't work for true corporates. 2. The dangers of misguided sales activities. Too many business owners are spending hours posting on LinkedIn, engaging in comment pods, building elaborate funnels, or writing books—believing these are “sales activities.” Jess is blunt: these are NOT going to land you corporate contracts. HR managers are not scrolling LinkedIn newsfeeds to find their next coach or consultant. Corporate buyers aren't signing up for your webinar funnel or being wowed by your ebook. If you're getting engagement but not deals, this is likely why. 3. The real reasons for B2B revenue plateaus (or dips). Jess unpacks why those revenue highs expected in the new year often fail to materialise—energy fizzles, pipelines aren't as full as predicted, and sales plateau. Many fall for the myth that it's “just the market” or their pricing, when in fact, they are simply not spending time on the right actions. She stresses that clutter, complexity, and intelligent overthinking can get in the way of simple, repeatable sales behavior that actually converts. Don't get stuck in learning more, consuming content, or trying to prove your worth with more certifications! 4. The reality of the current B2B market. Ignore the chatter from non-practitioners who claim “corporates aren't buying.” Jess's proven strategies, used by over 20,000 clients (with a 90%+ success rate), continue to deliver wins—even in a tough market. The companies succeeding are the ones focused on proactive, not passive, behaviors. 5. Proactive sales strategies that work. Replace endless marketing with smart, measurable, sales-focused actions: Direct, well-researched outreach to decision makers. Tracking metrics and troubleshooting what actually moves the sales pipeline. Using proven scripts, strategies, and templates grounded in years of corporate sales experience. Jess's clients are still landing deals—even their biggest months ever—by ditching content for conversation and focusing on relationship-based sales approaches. 6.

SummaryIn this episode, Sean and Terry discuss the recent passing of Pope Francis and its impact on the world. They then transition into the complexities of healthcare audits, including SIU, CERT, TPE, UPIC, and ZPIC audits.
