Last Word On Spurs returns with Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Martin Lipton for a packed discussion on the latest developments surrounding Spurs.We begin with the seismic news that Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League's financial rules over a nine-season period. With the findings potentially having significant implications for the competition during the years in which City dominated English football, we ask the question: do Tottenham have any legitimate claim to have been denied trophies, opportunities or sporting success as a result? And, if so, what could Spurs realistically expect to happen now? The Premier League has confirmed that the question of sanctions remains to be decided, with City also having the right to appeal the findings.We then turn our attention to Roberto De Zerbi's start to the season with Spurs. With results failing to meet expectations, is the Italian already under pressure to deliver, or does he need time to implement his ideas and build a team in his own image? We discuss the expectations surrounding De Zerbi and what constitutes a realistic timeline for improvement.There is also concern over Jan Paul Van Hecke after the Tottenham defender picked up a knock while away on international duty with the Netherlands. We assess the potential implications for Spurs as we await further news on the extent of the injury.Finally, we take a wider look at Tottenham's realistic ambitions for the season. With Spurs currently bottom of the Premier League table, already out of the Carabao Cup and with significant work still required to improve results both home and away, what can supporters realistically expect from the campaign from this point forward?

In this episode of FP&A Unlocked, host Paul Barnhurst and co-host Glenn Snyder sit down with Valerie Martin to discuss how AI is changing FP&A, leadership, and business partnering. They explore why greater efficiency does not automatically create greater value and how finance teams can use AI without losing judgment, context, or trust with the business.Valerie Martin is a Finance Executive specializing in FP&A and strategic finance, with experience across GTM, SaaS, AI, and value creation. A former Autodesk finance leader and San Francisco FP&A Board Ambassador, Valerie brings extensive experience in business partnering, finance transformation, and helping organizations make better strategic decisions.Expect to Learn:Why AI efficiency does not always create more value.How AI is changing the skills FP&A teams need.Why judgment and business context still matter.How leaders should rethink training and development.Why communication and trust remain critical in FP&A.Here are a few relevant quotes from the episode:“AI could help us get the answer faster, but you can't outsource accountability.” - Valerie Martin“The measurement is about the value, not the production.” - Glenn SnyderValerie explains that AI can automate variance analysis, reporting, data cleanup, and other repetitive work, but faster production is only useful if teams turn that saved time into greater business value. As AI takes on more technical work, FP&A professionals need to strengthen their judgment, curiosity, business acumen, and communication skills.Follow Valerie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-martin-342878/Email: valsoniamartin@gmail.comFollow Glenn:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/glenntsnyderDisclosure: Portions of this episode (such as the introduction or promotional segments) use AI-generated voice narration produced under human editorial review.Explore Lineos Reporting Intelligence:Ready to transform financial reporting?

What happens when the person responsible for everyone else's performance has no one to turn to? In this episode, we sit down with Cody Royle, a pioneering voice in elite sports who specializes in coaching the head coaches. Cody pulls back the curtain on the intense, often isolating pressure of leading at the highest level. We discuss his career transition from international AFL coach to trusted advisor, the unique burdens of modern leadership, and why even the best leaders need a "second set of eyes." Cody spent his formative years playing rugby league and Australian Rules football (AFL), gaining an early education in professional team environments through mentorship from AFL premiership player Steven Icke and work experience with the Hawthorn Football Club. Cody served for over a decade as the Head Coach of AFL Team Canada, the men's national program for Australian Rules football. During his tenure, he focused on transforming the program into a highly competitive pathway for aspiring athletes. Today, he has transitioned into a highly sought-after, 1:1 online advisor—essentially acting as a "coach of head coaches". He supports elite head coaches across world-class leagues globally, spanning the AFL, Rugby, Soccer, Basketball, and Ice Hockey.   Cody has written 3 books that are well worth your time: Where Others Won't: Taking People Innovation from the Locker Room to the Board Room – A go-to guide analyzing recruitment, culture, and performance strategies used by iconic sports teams, and how they apply to big business. The Tough Stuff: Seven Hard Truths about Being a Head Coach – An exploration of the heavy emotional, mental, and personal burdens that come with being the ultimate decision-maker. Second Set of Eyes: How Great Coaches Become Champions – A dive into why elite knowledge workers require continuous feedback and objective external support to sustain success. Whether you are a sports coach, a corporate executive, or an aspiring leader, Cody's breakdown of the human element of performance will completely shift how you view leadership.

How do you build a stronger profession while helping communities thrive? In this episode of Develop This!, Dennis Fraise sits down with Jacqueline Brinkman, CEO of Economic Development Australia (EDA), to discuss the evolution of economic development in Australia and why collaboration, professional standards, and continuous learning are shaping the future of the industry. Jacqueline shares her career journey into economic development and reflects on the lessons she's learned leading Australia's national professional association. She explains how Economic Development Australia has expanded education, certification, and networking opportunities while strengthening the profession across the country. The conversation explores why collaboration—not competition—is one of the most important drivers of community success. Jacqueline discusses how building trust among stakeholders, encouraging knowledge sharing, and creating strong professional networks lead to better outcomes for communities and organizations alike. Dennis and Jacqueline also examine how crises such as the Australian bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated innovation, reinforced the importance of leadership, and highlighted the value of adaptable, resilient economic development organizations. Looking ahead, Jacqueline shares her perspective on the future of economic development, including the growing importance of international collaboration, professional certification, and developing the next generation of leaders equipped to solve increasingly complex economic challenges. A key takeaway? Economic development is strongest when professionals invest in collaboration, embrace lifelong learning, and build trusted relationships that create lasting community impact. Key Takeaways Collaboration consistently delivers stronger outcomes than competition. Professional standards and certification elevate the economic development profession. Trust and authentic relationships are the foundation of effective leadership. Crises can become opportunities for innovation and organizational growth. International collaboration accelerates learning and improves community outcomes. Saying "yes" to new opportunities often leads to unexpected career growth. Key Topics Covered Jacqueline Brinkman's journey into economic development The growth and mission of Economic Development Australia Professional certification and industry standards Building trust through collaboration Leading through crises and organizational change International partnerships and the future of economic development Sound Bites "Collaborate or die." "Say yes to opportunities." "Build a career by saying yes."

Why are forecasts so often late, or short of what was planned? In this live Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer session, Professional Scrum Trainer Ludwig Harsch answers audience questions on estimation and planning for Scrum Teams. He draws on his training and consulting work to explain why estimation should be tested and adapted to each team's context, not treated as a universal rule.Ludwig explains how teams can move from unreliable hour estimates to relative sizing. He discusses when Planning Poker is worth the effort and when a lighter approach fits better. He also covers how to forecast when support work, context switching, and external dependencies eat into capacity. He makes the case for giving stakeholders projected dates with probabilities rather than fixed promises, and explains how Monte Carlo simulations can support that conversation.In this episode:Moving from hours to relative sizing, and what "size" should meanUsing Planning Poker and facilitation to build shared understandingKnowing when to stop estimatingUsing AI in estimation without losing team discussionChoosing a planning horizon, including for regulated productsHandling support work, dependencies, and shifting prioritiesComparing velocity, throughput, and capacity-adjusted metricsWhy Scrum Teams commit to the Sprint Goal, not a fixed number of backlog itemsAdvice for newly formed teams still collecting dataTune in for some great insights on Estimation and Planning in Scrum.

In this episode, I respond to a comment from the Anytime Soccer Training Facebook group about whether being paid is what makes a player or a program professional. The commenter's point is that unpaid means amateur and paid means professional, and I understand the concern about "smoke and mirrors" in youth soccer, especially with so little structure in U.S. soccer. But I make the case that classification depends on goals, structure, and industry standards, not just payment.The same goes for programs. How a program is funded shouldn't determine its standards. Some recreational programs run with high standards, and some fully funded academies don't. What matters is quality and conduct, not who pays the bills. I also share why descriptive labels like "volunteer-based" or "privately paid" are more useful than funding-based classifications. If you're a parent choosing a program, look for one that holds itself to professional standards no matter how it's financed.

Jonny and Josh unite with Mark for a final time to discuss the the life of Professional wrestler, Randy Savage. 

Have you ever sat down and worked out how much your private practice is costing you? Sometimes it's more than you realise and this can have an impact on whether it's a business that actually supports you.Your session fees need to not only cover day to day costs such as supervision, but also allow for holidays, sickness and retirement.In this second episode with psychotherapist and supervisor, Claire Ratcliffe, we discuss how to build a sustainable practice including how to attract clients.In this episode:How Claire started TikTok, despite her discomfort with visibility, and how she makes it work alongside running a busy practice and being a single parentThe impact of her TikTok channel on her enquiriesWhy she thinks it is important to let people know who you are and what you offer rather than relying on a single place to find clientsThe hidden costs of running a private practiceThe beliefs therapists can have about being greedy or selfish and the impact on their feesAccessibility and why higher fees can make it easier to offer concessionsHow our personal history with money can affect the fees we are comfortable to chargeWhy comparing your fees with another therapist can be misleading due to different financial circumstancesThe main message Claire would like you to take away is not "Charge what you're worth" but to remember your worth isn't determined by what you charge. It doesn't change if you charge £50 or £500. Instead, base your fees on what your practice, your health and your wellbeing need so that you can continue to keep doing the work.And if Claire's comments about letting people know who you are and what you have to offer have got you thinking about your own practice, this is exactly what we'll be working on next in Therapy Growth Group.From the week beginning 12th October, we'll be spending four weeks looking at your niche: who you most want to help, what makes you unique and how you can communicate that so the right clients can find you.If you'd like some support to work through this alongside other therapists, you can find out more about Therapy Growth Group HEREIf you'd like to find out more about Claire and her new supervision group aimed at relationship therapists, please visit her website HERESetting up in private practice?

What if the biggest barrier to getting help in your business isn't finding the right person, but finding someone who understands your reality as a small business owner? Julia Bernzott discovered this firsthand when she couldn't afford the high minimums most virtual assistant companies demanded. Her solution was revolutionary: create a VA service with options as low as two hours per month.

AI is moving into the workplace whether we feel ready or not, and the real question isn't just what it can do. It's what it does to us. I sit down with Dr. Christopher Warren, a nationally recognized safety and risk management leader and the author of “Artificiomics: Mitigating Human Risk of AI Technologies in the Workplace Using Industrial Hygiene Principles,” to talk about what happens to human judgment, trust, and workplace safety as companies rely more on AI systems, robots, and automation. If you've ever felt equal parts excited and uneasy about AI, this conversation puts language and structure around that feeling.We dig into the risks most people miss, especially the psychological hazards of AI at work: fear of job replacement, loss of autonomy, cognitive overload from constant dashboards and alerts, and “algorithmic anxiety” when monitoring systems score workers and quietly influence pay, promotions, or even employment. We also talk about skill degradation and how over reliance on AI tools can shrink critical thinking, plus the very real danger of AI being confidently wrong when the stakes are high.Then we get practical. Christopher shares a framework built on industrial hygiene principles and a simple step leaders can take now: create an AI committee that includes workers, not just the C-suite, and run a risk focused assessment that considers both physical and mental health impacts. We close with a balanced, neutral approach to AI governance and how you can participate before technology reshapes your work without your input.If this helped you think more clearly about AI and workplace risk, subscribe, share the episode with a colleague, and leave a review so more people can find it.

Dean has 20 years of experience in journalism, both breaking exclusive stories, writing headlines and leading production of the SunSport section. Dean explains why Tottenham MUST keep faith with De Zerbi's tactics despite being rock bottom of Premier League. Dean illustrates that Spurs lead the league in several statistical categories, including successful take-ons, progressive passes and corners – although they are 18th in expected goals. Despite their blunt attack and lack of points, there are tactical reasons for Tottenham fans to remain optimistic. We also wrap-up the very latest news around Spurs including how Tottenham Hotspur are among the Premier League clubs that could have grounds to seek financial compensation after Manchester City are found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges against them.

The fashion industry has a trust problem. Consumers are no longer sure what their clothes are made of, whether sustainability claims are real, or whether the brands they buy from are telling the truth. In this episode of the Business Legacy Podcast, Paul Dio sits down with Rachel Erickson, CEO and founder of Unmarked Street and The Business of Apparel, to talk about what it takes to bring kindness, transparency, and accurate information back into an industry that has been questioned for years. Rachel and her team spent more than a decade each inside major corporate fashion brands before building their own company. Unmarked Street is their done for you product development agency, handling fit, factory documentation, and contracts for smaller apparel brands. The Business of Apparel is their mentorship and coaching arm, created because so much of the information available to new founders online is simply wrong. The conversation covers where the mistrust began, from the rush toward sustainability without regulation to the greenwashing lawsuits that followed. Rachel then lays out the order of operations every new apparel founder should follow: target customer first, budget second, product creation third. She makes the case that creativity only survives when the margins are healthy, and she challenges consumers and brands alike to measure value by cost per wear rather than cost per garment. Rachel's deepest passion is fit, and she explains why it is the fastest path to a loyal customer base. She shares how her team solved a running short fit issue in two rounds after a brand had struggled through five or six prototypes, and how one client built her size charts by personally measuring her ideal customers. On legacy, Rachel wants to be remembered as the person who opened the door for apparel founders, and on a personal level, she is close to her goal of retiring her husband.

Profit margins in federal contracting vary wildly by contract type, and in this clip DOD contracting consultant Ryan Atencio breaks down real numbers across the spectrum, from a small painting blanket purchase agreement up to a major general contractor project. Ryan Atencio, a former DOD contracting officer representative and 12-year Army special operations veteran, explains the difference between markup and profit, why large integrators average only 10 percent, and how subcontractor cushion protects a general contractor from being squeezed on a change order. Key points discussed: - A general contractor typically targets 12 to 13 percent profit margin on federal construction work - On a $10 million construction project at 13 percent, that works out to roughly $1.3 million in profit after everyone is paid - Large defense integrators average around 10 percent profit across all combined services and supplies, even when individual line items run higher or lower - Markup added to a subcontractor's price is cushion, not profit, and protects against underbid subcontractors coming back for change orders - Small businesses without overhead or GNA costs can profitably run a blanket purchase agreement at 9 to 12 percent margin - Professional and technical advisory services are expected to see shrinking margins as AI reduces the value of pure knowledge work CHAPTERS 0:00 - The difference between markup and cushion in a construction bid 1:30 - How an underbid subcontractor comes back for more money 3:10 - Standard profit margin for a general contractor on federal work 4:20 - The real dollar math behind a $10 million construction project 5:40 - Why large defense integrators average only 10 percent profit Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Duke.The WNBA.Professional basketball overseas.The White House.Sixteen years of coaching.And now Ole Miss.Coach Joy Smith has lived a basketball journey that doesn't fit neatly into one box.On this episode of SportsLifeTalk: You Got Next, KT and B. Jones sit down with the Ole Miss women's basketball associate coach for a conversation about basketball, leadership, recruiting, player development, motherhood, adapting to a changing college game—and the next chapter she wants for herself.Joy's basketball journey began when she was eight years old.After watching her younger brother play, she wanted in.Saturday basketball clinics became AAU basketball. AAU eventually helped lead her to Duke, where she competed at the highest level of college basketball before being selected in the 2010 WNBA Draft.She spent time in the WNBA and played professionally overseas.But one phone call changed the direction of her career.Duke offered Joy an opportunity to return to her alma mater and begin coaching.She had an overseas contract waiting.Her response?Call the agent.Cancel it.She was going back to Duke.And that decision began a coaching career that would eventually take Joy through programs including Duke, Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Clemson and now Ole Miss.But one of the most interesting parts of Joy's journey happened away from basketball.During Two Truths and a Lie, KT and B. Jones discover that Joy once interned at the White House.Yes.THAT White House.Joy shares stories from the experience and explains how she worked around domestic and economic policy during the Obama administration, including work connected to then-Vice President Joe Biden.Then the conversation turns back to basketball.Joy opens up about how she's changed as a coach.Early in her career, she sometimes expected players to operate the way she did as an athlete.Experience taught her something different:Meet players where they are.Then help bring them up.Joy describes herself today as a “truth teller.”She'll tell players exactly what they need to hear—but she's also learned empathy, patience and the importance of understanding each athlete as an individual.Motherhood has influenced that evolution too.Joy is raising two young daughters while continuing to build her coaching career at one of the highest levels of women's college basketball.She also takes SportsLifeTalk inside the mindset at Ole Miss.College athletics is changing constantly.The transfer portal.Eligibility.Roster constructionNew rules.Joy's philosophy is simple:You have to be willing to pivot.Because if you don't change with the game, the game will leave you behind.Ole Miss also has a standard for its group:100/100.Give your 100 percent, 100 percent of the time.New roster?No excuses.New faces?No excuses.The expectation remains.And when SportsLifeTalk asks Joy what's next for HER, there isn't any hesitation.Her own program.From Hyattsville to CharlotteDuke to professional basketball…the White House to the sidelineand now Oxford…Joy Smith's story is still being written.And she knows exactly where she wants the next chapter to go.

A violin maker connects two lives, and that chance connection helps spark a spy thriller where music can give you away. I'm joined by Gerald Schoeltzel, a professional musician turned attorney and screenwriter whose résumé is as gripping as the fiction he writes. Gerald shares how he and co-author Leonid Prymak found each other through matching Italian instruments, then built Heard a Ghost: Love, Murder, and Revenge, a Russian espionage story set against Washington, DC power, opulence, romance, betrayal, and a spy hiding in plain sight.We get into the real-life gravity behind the story, including Leonid's Cold War escape from the Soviet Union and the family history that informs the book's realism. Gerald also breaks down the craft side: why they started with an award-winning screenplay, how a writers retreat in Spain pushed him to adapt it into a novel, and what that change unlocks for character development, historical detail, and protecting your work in the film and TV world. Find the book here: https://link.amazon/B00LS7MbvOne of my favorite moments is the twist only a lifelong musician could write: the idea that elite performers carry a recognizable musical signature, and that sound can become evidence. We also talk about writing strong female characters, creating a non-stereotypical woman spy, and what Gerald is working on next.

Are you too old to reinvent yourself? The answer is no.Wendi Knox is a professional uplifter, author, and artist. In her past life, she was the only female Senior Vice-President/Creative Director at one of the largest advertising agencies in Los Angeles, creating multimedia ad campaigns for brands like Honda and Acura. Her award-winning commercials have been directed by the Academy Award-winning Coen Brothers, starred William Wegman's famous Weimaraners, and were profiled in The New York Times.At 50, Wendi lost her job and found herself sobbing in her backyard, asking the Universe, “Am I too old to reinvent myself?” Her answer came in the form of hundreds of red dragonflies filling her backyard with magic (for four days)! Learning that dragonflies don't fly until later in life sparked a new purpose for Wendi and inspired her to create a unique paradigm for transformation as we age.Today, she's on a mission to help women see aging not as a decline, but as an opportunity to grow new wings. Through her “Breaking Out of the Age Cage” illustrated talks and inspiring workshops, Wendi is working to rebrand aging as an opportunity for Becoming More of Who We Are, Not Less of What We Were.Like the dragonfly, she is soaring later in life, having her first book, From Muck to Magic, published and her first solo art show at 65. It is a beautiful picture book for adults that celebrates each person's inner child. Now at 72, she has published her second book, The Way of the Dragonfly: Flight Instructions to Transform the Way We Age. The book is a soulful, witty, and deeply empowering guide for women ready to rise above our youth-obsessed culture and embrace aging on their own terms.Inspired by her life-changing encounter with hundreds of red dragonflies, Wendi reframes the aging process. Blending personal storytelling, spiritual insight, tools, exercises and “Dragonflying Lessons,” this book invites readers to shed old ageist beliefs, reveal their true colors, and soar with purpose and joy at any age.In this episode, we discuss Wendi's book and work, but also get into her experience with a loved one dealing with the devastating effects of marijuana and cannabis induced psychosis. She recommends that anyone whose lives are touched by this situation go to EveryBrainMatters.org.Wendi has so much wisdom to share with us. She talks about the fetches (the word for a gathering of dragon flies) she organizes for women in the Ojai area, making "I've done" lists instead of "to do" lists, talking back to her "bitch Edna" negative voice in her head, how intuition is the voice of her heart and soul, how tears are like rainwater that help your metaphorical garden to grow, and more. One of my favorite quotes of Wendi's, a former executive in the advertising world: "Marketing a book is a pain in the algorithm!" So true!These days, Wendi is blessed to live in magical Ojai with her husband Will (she followed her intuition and married this extraordinary man after only dating him for two months, a decision that may be one of the best she's made, given what I know about him), fur baby Blossom and a colorful assortment of dragonflies.

In this episode, Jess Lorimer breaks down the difference between a sales activity and a marketing activity, and why confusing the two is one of the most common reasons a B2B sales process gets stuck. She walks through the Selling to Corporate® 5 step sales framework stage by stage, explaining the single, specific purpose behind each one, so you can diagnose exactly what's working, what isn't, and why, instead of throwing out something that was already working.   A sales activity is any activity designed specifically to relate to or lead to revenue being generated. In a B2B context, that means building and leveraging one-to-one relationships to generate revenue. A marketing activity is different. It's primarily designed to build brand awareness and build relationships at volume, which is why marketing campaigns lean on social platforms, newsletters, podcasts, and YouTube channels. Copywriting, campaign creation, social media marketing, and content creation all fall under marketing, because they create relationships at scale. Sales activities, like cold email outreach, networking for leads, speaking for leads, and holding sales calls with a decision maker, are designed to build or leverage one-to-one relationships so they turn into revenue. Marketing is a genuinely useful tool, but when you're selling B2B as an individual consultant, it shouldn't be your primary source of activity, because it isn't designed to convert. Jess is direct about this: if you're spending all your time on LinkedIn chasing more leads and more relationships, the real question is whether you're already converting the relationships you have. If you've got a database of 100 people, or 50 LinkedIn connections, and you're not converting them, you don't need more, you need to look at the quality of your sales activities instead. Putting more leads into a sales process that doesn't work just means spending more time, money, and energy on marketing that isn't producing revenue.   This is where the Selling to Corporate® 5 step sales framework comes in, a process Jess developed while training corporate sales teams and has since used with clients in over 21 countries. It works because every single part of the process has a specific, measurable outcome. Stage one is Clarity: knowing who you're selling to and the transformation you're offering them, so your sales messaging across lead generation, follow up, proposals, and sales calls is consistent rather than trying to be everything to everyone.   Stage two is Lead Generation, and its only purpose is booking qualified sales calls with decision makers who have both responsibility for your area and budget authority. If your lead generation isn't producing fewer than 5 qualified sales calls a month, it isn't working, and mass marketing methods like newsletters or LinkedIn posts that don't convert into consistent calls don't count as functioning lead generation. Stage three is the sales call itself, and its only purpose is a clear next step, either a qualified proposal or a defined no. Vague outcomes, like being asked to send over a website link or a one-pager, mean the prospect still doesn't understand what you do or how it helps them, so the call hasn't done its job.   Stage four is Offers and Proposals, the written sell that articulates and presents an offer that meets the client's need and converts the sales call into a signed contract. And stage five is Delivery and Upsell or Resell: delivering a great client experience with the specific purpose of identifying further transformation for the client and further revenue for you. Jess's core point is that when an activity isn't hitting its purpose, that's the actual problem to fix, not a reason to abandon the whole process and chase a new strategy. Understanding what each part of your sales process is supposed to achieve is what lets you troubleshoot accurately instead of guessing. Key Takeaways ●  A sales activity and a marketing activity are not the same thing, and confusing them wastes time and money. A sales activity is designed specifically to lead to revenue through one-to-one relationships. A marketing activity is designed to build brand awareness and relationships at volume. Treating time-consuming marketing work as if it were sales activity is one of the most common reasons a B2B pipeline underperforms. ●  More leads won't fix a broken sales process. If you already have a database or a set of LinkedIn connections you aren't converting, the answer isn't more volume, it's fixing the quality and structure of your sales activities. Adding more leads into a process that doesn't convert just means spending more time and money for the same result. ●  Clarity's only purpose is targeting and messaging. Knowing who you're selling to and the transformation you offer them shapes your sales messaging everywhere it appears, in lead generation, follow up, proposals, and sales calls. Without it, creating consistent messaging across different industries and problems becomes much harder. ●  Lead generation's only purpose is booking qualified sales calls. Qualified means the decision maker has both responsibility for your area and budget authority. Fewer than 5 sales calls a month from your lead generation is a sign it isn't working, whatever the volume of content or connections behind it. ●  A sales call's only purpose is a clear next step. That means either a qualified proposal or a defined no, not right now. Vague outcomes like being asked to send a website or a one-pager mean the prospect still doesn't understand what you do, so the call hasn't achieved its purpose. ●  Offers and proposals exist to convert the sales call into a signed contract. It's the written sell: articulating and pricing an offer that meets the client's need and gives them what they need to build an internal business case to say yes. § ●  Delivery and upsell or resell exists to create further transformation and further revenue. A great client experience isn't just good practice, its specific purpose is to help you spot further opportunities to support the client, which benefits them and grows your revenue at the same time. ●  Judge each activity against its own purpose, not against an outcome it was never designed to hit. Blaming lead generation for not directly producing a sale misunderstands its job, which is booking calls. Diagnosing which specific stage of the process isn't hitting its purpose is what actually fixes a stuck sales process, rather than abandoning something that was already working. Questions Corporate Buyers and AI Search Tools Are Asking The questions below are written to reflect how coaches, consultants, and service providers are actually typing into AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews when researching their own B2B sales activity. ●  What's the difference between a sales activity and a marketing activity in B2B? ●  Why isn't my LinkedIn content turning into corporate sales calls? ●  What is the actual purpose of lead generation in a B2B sales process? ●  How many qualified sales calls should my lead generation produce each month? ●  What should happen at the end of a B2B sales call? ●  Why do I keep getting stuck at the same stage of my sales process? ●  What is the Selling to Corporate 5 step sales framework? ●  Should I focus on generating more leads or converting the leads I already have? ●  How do I know if my B2B sales activities are actually working? Key Quotes "A sales activity is any activity that is designed specifically to relate to or lead to revenue being generated." "Putting more leads into a sales process that does not work means that you will continue to get the same result." "Every single part of the process has a very specific outcome." "Marketing is a great tool, but it should not be your primary source of activities in your business because it is not designed to convert." "The only purpose that lead generation holds: booking qualified sales calls." "The only purpose of sales calls is to turn them into clear next steps."

Bad Rental Applicants? Where Landlords Should Advertise + Condo Bylaws & Getting Started Where should landlords actually advertise rental properties? What should real estate investors look for inside condominium bylaws? And what do you do when you know you want to invest in real estate, but you just can't seem to take that first step? Today's Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show is a listener Q&A covering three very different problems that ultimately come back to the same thing: Good real estate investing requires good systems, good information and the confidence to actually take action. Where Should You Advertise a Rental Property? A listener wrote in after getting poor-quality rental applicants through Facebook Marketplace and wanted to know whether there is a better place to advertise. Wayne's answer: Know your audience. There is no single rental platform that is automatically best in every Canadian city. Facebook Marketplace may dominate one market. RentFaster may work better somewhere else. Another city may have a completely different platform tenants use. The first question should be: Where do tenants in MY market actually look for rentals? One simple exercise is to pretend you are the tenant. Google rental properties in your city. See which websites appear first. Look at where competing rentals are being advertised. That gives you a much better idea of where your potential tenants are actually searching. Bad Applicants May Not Be a Facebook Problem Gabby makes an important distinction. If Facebook Marketplace is where most tenants in your city search for rentals, getting bad applications does not necessarily mean Facebook is the problem. You want exposure. You want inquiries. You want enough applicants that you have choices. The real issue may be what happens after the inquiry comes in. Why Good Tenants Get Taken Quickly Wayne explains the rental process as a funnel. A good tenant may inquire about dozens of listings. They are comparing: Price Property condition Location Photos Communication Availability Landlord responsiveness If your listing is poorly presented, overpriced or you take six hours to respond, another landlord may already have booked the showing. The best applicants often disappear first. That leaves slower landlords competing over whatever applicants remain. Better Systems Produce Better Tenants Wayne's experience has been that landlords with better systems tend to attract and secure better tenants. That means: Great photos. Correct pricing. Fast responses. A desirable property. Professional communication. Strong screening. Efficient showings. Clear expectations. Wayne recently filled an Edmonton basement suite within days despite expecting the rental to be difficult. The successful applicant ended up being one of the strongest applications Wayne and Gabby had seen recently. The lesson: Where you advertise matters. How you operate matters more. Facebook Marketplace, RentFaster and Other Platforms Wayne does use Facebook. RentFaster is another commonly used option in Alberta. Other platforms may dominate other markets. But Wayne does not believe there is some secret website where only great tenants are waiting. Research where your local tenants actually search and make sure your property appears there. Then outperform competing landlords once the inquiry arrives. What Should Investors Look for in Condo Bylaws? The second listener question comes from Carmen, who asks for a simplified breakdown of what investors should look for inside condominium bylaws. Gabby's approach is straightforward. Ask: What rules could prevent me from operating this rental property the way I intend to? That is the lens investors should use when reviewing the bylaws. Rental Restrictions Some condominium corporations restrict how many units within the complex may be rented. Before purchasing, determine whether: Rentals are allowed There is a rental cap Owner occupancy requirements exist Your specific unit can currently be rented Buying a condo and discovering afterward that you cannot legally operate it as a rental creates an obvious problem. Short-Term Rental Restrictions If your plan involves Airbnb or another short-term rental strategy, check this immediately. More condominium corporations are restricting or prohibiting short-term rentals. Do not assume they are allowed simply because municipal rules permit them. The condo corporation can have its own restrictions. Business Restrictions Another issue is operating businesses from condominium units. This can create insurance and liability complications. It can also violate condominium bylaws. If a tenant begins operating a business and the condo corporation prohibits it, the landlord may suddenly be stuck dealing with a lease that conflicts with the condo rules. Understand the restrictions before leasing the property. Pet Restrictions This is one of the biggest issues Wayne and Gabby look for because they operate pet-friendly rentals. Condo bylaws may restrict: Number of pets Size Weight Breed Type of animal That can dramatically reduce your tenant pool. It can even affect fix-and-flip investors. Wayne shares an example of an investor who received a full-price offer on a renovated condo, only to lose the buyer because the condo bylaws prohibited large dogs. The bylaws can affect more than landlords. They can affect resale value too. Who Is Responsible for What? Do not assume the condominium corporation automatically takes care of everything outside the unit. Responsibilities vary. One corporation may cover every exterior window. Another may cover only certain windows. Doors, fences, windows, balconies and other components may have different maintenance responsibilities depending on the bylaws. Understand exactly what belongs to: The condo corporation versus The individual owner. Then compare those responsibilities against the condition of the property and the condo corporation's financial documents. "I Want to Invest, But I Can't Get Started" The final listener question came from someone who knows they want to invest in real estate but feels stuck. Wayne believes the biggest obstacle is usually: Uncertainty. You do not know exactly what happens next. That creates fear. Then fear creates hesitation. You wonder: How do I finance it? What if I buy the wrong thing? What if nobody rents it? What if something breaks? How does insurance work? How do utilities work? How do I screen tenants? How do I know the numbers are right? Eventually you have so many unanswered questions that doing nothing becomes more comfortable than moving forward. You Will Never Feel 100% Ready Wayne's message is that there is a limit to what education can do before experience has to take over. You can read. Watch videos. Take courses. Listen to podcasts. Study spreadsheets. But eventually you need to actually purchase the first property. Confidence comes from doing. Your first deal may feel intimidating. Then you finish it and realize: "That actually wasn't as bad as I thought." The second one becomes easier. Then the third. Sometimes You Need Someone to Hold Your Hand Some investors can educate themselves and eventually take the leap. Others need somebody experienced beside them. That is one of the biggest roles Wayne sees coaching and mentorship playing. It is not simply more information. It is having someone available when the next uncertainty appears. Instead of sitting on the question for six months, you ask it, get an answer and keep moving. The goal is: Confidence. Clarity. Action.

Can anyone develop psychic ability, or is it something you're simply born with? Professional tarot reader, deck creator and author Kerry Ward returns to The Paranormal Podcast to talk about her new book, This Book Will Make You Psychic, and her belief that psychic ability may be far more common than we realize. Kerry explains the idea of a personal “psychic fingerprint,” why our intuitive abilities may not look like the classic clairvoyant experience, and how practice, curiosity and a willingness to get past your inner skeptic can help you discover what works for you. We also explore tarot as a tool for developing intuition, crystals, unusual psychic experiences and why paying attention to patterns can help us make sense of things we might otherwise dismiss. The conversation takes a more personal turn as Jim shares an experience that felt like a message from his mother, while Kerry talks about messages she believes she has received from her late father and the remarkable ghostly encounters experienced by her sister, who works in a hospital. It's a thoughtful and practical conversation about intuition, psychic development and what can happen when we start paying closer attention to the unexplained.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Montee Monique Russell. Founder and CEO of Clear Communication Solutions, joins Rushion McDonald to discuss the power of communication, cultural awareness, leadership, and personal identity. Drawing from her experiences as a Bahamian-Nigerian-American communications strategist, Russell explains how effective communication creates opportunity, builds trust, and helps individuals navigate both professional and personal relationships. The conversation also explores the impact of cultural background on communication styles, workplace success, entrepreneurship, leadership development, and preparing young professionals for careers after college. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight the importance of communication as a leadership and business skill. Explore how cultural experiences shape the way people communicate. Discuss barriers that prevent talented people from advancing professionally. Share Monique Russell's entrepreneurial journey and the founding of Clear Communication Solutions. Provide insights on leadership, workplace success, and professional development. Discuss communication challenges facing students, professionals, and organizations. Key Takeaways 1. Communication Is the Bridge Between Talent and Opportunity One of Russell's central messages is that talent alone is not enough. People may be intelligent, skilled, and highly capable, but if they cannot clearly communicate their value, ideas, or expertise, opportunities can be missed. Key Insight: Potential creates possibilities, but communication turns potential into results. 2. Communication Must Be Centered on Understanding the Audience Russell emphasized that communication is not simply about speaking or delivering a message. The real question is: "Is your message being received the way you intended?" Effective communicators adjust their approach based on: Audience Environment Culture Context Expectations Key Insight: Communication succeeds when the other person understands and connects with the message. 3. Cultural Awareness Strengthens Leadership As a Bahamian-Nigerian-American professional, Russell explained that her multicultural background taught her to see the world through different lenses. This perspective allows her to: Understand diverse viewpoints Build stronger relationships Navigate different business environments Work effectively across cultures Key Insight: Great leaders develop curiosity about how other people experience the world. 4. Identity Should Not Be Sacrificed for Acceptance A major theme in the interview was balancing authenticity with adaptability. Russell argued that professionals should not change who they are to fit into an environment. Instead, they should learn how to present themselves effectively while remaining true to themselves. Key Insight: Adapt your communication style without abandoning your identity. 5. Perception Influences Success The discussion explored how accents, language, presentation style, and first impressions affect how people are perceived. Russell shared examples of helping professionals improve communication effectiveness by: Slowing down speech Clarifying messaging Increasing audience understanding The goal is not changing who people are but helping others better receive their message. Key Insight: Your effectiveness is often determined by how clearly others understand you. 6. Entrepreneurship Often Begins with Solving a Problem Russell explained that her business started because she repeatedly observed communication breakdowns in workplaces. She noticed that: Leaders struggled to connect with employees. Teams misunderstood one another. Organizations suffered because of poor communication. What began as a passion evolved into a successful consulting and training business. Key Insight: The strongest businesses are often built around solving real-world problems. 7. Speaking Opens the Door, Coaching Creates Growth Russell initially built her reputation through workshops and speaking engagements. Over time she realized that speaking alone was not enough. She expanded into: Executive coaching Corporate training Leadership development Communication strategy Key Insight: Speaking builds awareness, while coaching drives transformation. 8. Cross-Cultural Communication Is a Critical Leadership Skill Russell described how different environments require different communication approaches. While authenticity remains important, successful professionals understand how to navigate various workplace and cultural expectations. Key Insight: Understanding the culture around you helps create stronger connections and better outcomes. 9. Young Professionals Need More Than Technical Skills Russell expressed strong support for HBCUs and college students but noted that graduates often need additional workplace readiness skills. Common gaps include: Time management Project management Professional communication Self-advocacy Capacity management She shared an example of a talented employee who became overwhelmed because he never communicated that his workload exceeded his capacity. Key Insight: Career success depends on communication and workplace navigation skills, not just knowledge and intelligence. 10. Family and Cultural Experiences Shape Communication Russell explained that meeting her Nigerian father at a young age and growing up in the Bahamas provided early lessons in navigating different cultures. These experiences became the foundation for her professional expertise in cross-cultural communication. Key Insight: Personal experiences often become professional strengths. Notable Quotes On communication and opportunity "Communication is the bridge between potential and opportunity." On audience connection "The end goal is always connection." On effective messaging "Is your message being received in the way that you intended it to be received?" On leadership and identity "We're not trying to make you into some chameleon or somebody who you're not." On authenticity "You will be performing for everybody else, but inside yourself you will be feeling unfulfilled." On cultural awareness "I have to look at how their lens is. I have to be curious about why people do the things that they do." On entrepreneurship "I saw the problem." On her career journey "The challenge chose me." On workplace success "What can I do to actually shift and keep up with the trends?" On her multicultural perspective "I tend to see a 360 view, a multicultural 360 view." Executive Summary Monique Russell's interview is a masterclass on communication as a leadership, business, and life skill. Her central message is that success is not determined solely by intelligence, experience, or technical expertise. Instead, the ability to clearly communicate ideas, understand different perspectives, adapt to diverse environments, and build meaningful connections often determines whether opportunities are gained or lost. Through her work with leaders, students, entrepreneurs, and organizations, Russell advocates for a communication approach rooted in authenticity, cultural awareness, and intentional connection. #BEST#SHMS #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.
