Special National Black Girl Month™ Series | Co-hosted by Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown You may not remember her reading parenting books, but she knew how to raise a household and keep a family intact. Big Mama didn't need a manual—she had instincts, routines, and an unshakable sense of responsibility. She didn't just take care of you; she taught you what it meant to show up, even when nobody showed up for her. She built structure out of very little and carried generations with her hands, her prayers, and her presence. But now, you're the one leading. And you're doing it with memories of how it used to be and a front-row seat to how much has changed. Or maybe, you're starting from what you know in your heart.  In this first episode of our National Black Girl Month™ series, I'm joined by Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown and our guest, Dr. Rosemarie Allen—an education leader and national voice on racial equity and childhood development. This conversation is about mothering without a blueprint and making daily decisions in a world that doesn't always feel safe for your child—or for you. You'll hear how Dr. Allen went from being suspended in kindergarten to shaping national education policy. You'll hear what happened when she had to teach her son to go limp during a chokehold—so he could come home alive. “Have I been whipping my baby for no reason?” A young mother asked that on a bus. Dr. Allen didn't shame her. She stayed. She answered. She mothered her. That child is now older. This conversation is parenting at the intersection of love and fear. Survival and pride. Freedom and danger. And it's the kind of conversation that millennial Black mothers aren't always given the space to have—but desperately need. It's about the systems that mislabel brilliance as defiance. What happens when Black children are expelled from daycare before they can talk? Where can you talk about the pressure of sending your child into schools that once failed you? “Historically, through slavery, we learned to beat our children into submission because they had to survive. But we've evolved from surviving to thriving. Our job now is to help our children thrive.” – Dr. Allen Whether you're raising toddlers or teenagers, or carrying the weight of mothering others through your work, this episode offers room to reflect, release, and reimagine. Because what's passed down shouldn't just be pain. It should be power. — Visit drrosemarieallen.com for more on her work.

(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump Thursday called for defunding National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service, two partially federally funded groups under scrutiny in the DOGE era. Trump's comments come after heads of both NPR and PBS defended their work at a Wednesday Congressional hearing. At the Wednesday hearing, Republican critics honed in on aggressively anti-Trump coverage, inclusion of trans content in children's programming, and a former senior editor at NPR who uncovered that 87 registered Democrats and not a single registered Republican worked in NPR's D.C. office.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_0989e03e-2a2a-47d5-8972-a1ed9867b3af.html

It's Tuesday, November 26th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Cuban Communists levying fines against churches A group of 63 Cuban Christian leaders, called the Alliance of Christians of Cuba is speaking out against the nation's persecution of churches.   The Communist government has levied at least $43,000 in fines against Christian churches in 69 separate cases thus far this year. That's equivalent to $1.4 million in the American economy, given the differences in median income for Cuba. The nation is facing its worst economic crisis in decades.   The Alliance of Christians of Cuba is calling the Cuban government “to protect fundamental human rights including the right to freedom of religion or belief.” Ukrainian official: “World War III has already begun” The authorization by the United Kingdom and the United States of the use of long-range missiles by the Ukrainian side in the Russian-Ukrainian war has led to heightened international tensions. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's ambassador to the UK who formerly served as the Commander-in-Chief of the armies, publicly stated that "World War III has already begun,” reports Breitbart.  He was referencing recently increased assistance on the Russian side with Iran, China, and North Korea technology and forces. Special Counsel Jack Smith drops all charges against Trump On Monday, Special counsel Jack Smith filed motions to drop all federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump regarding both his mishandling of classified documents and his effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the lead-up to the January 6th riot at the U.S Capitol, reports NBC News. Hours later, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan  granted Smith's motion to dismiss the January 6-related indictment, formally bringing to an end the case that alleged Trump unlawfully conspired to overturn his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden. Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung called Smith's motions to dismiss a "major victory for the rule of law."  He added, "The American people and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country." Trump picks homosexual for Treasury Secretary President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Scott Bessent, a homosexual and long-time supporter and business associate of leftist billionaire George Soros to the key position of Treasury Secretary, reports The Epoch Times. The appointment would mark the most powerful position ever held by a homosexual in the history of American governance. Pro-lifers object to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr to HHS In addition, pro-lifers and Christians are registering their concerns with the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to the key position of Secretary of Health and Human Services. Elon Musk: Cut $300 million from Planned Parenthood In a Wall Street Journal column, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy announced their plans to cut federal expenditures dramatically. They specifically mentioned cutting $300 million from Planned Parenthood and $535 million from Public Broadcasting Service.  Live Action, the pro-life group founded by Lila Rose, is spearheading a petition drive, urging key Trump cabinet members, like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to defund Planned Parenthood. The mushrooming national debt The U.S. federal debt is growing faster than the Gross Domestic Product which is the measure of a country's economic activity that reflects the monetary value of its goods and services. Still, the Debt to GDP ratio stands at 121%. That's up from 55% in 2001.   President Biden drove up the debt by $7 trillion over three years, an average of $2.3 trillion per year.  President Trump's budgets drove up the debt $8.5 trillion over four years, or $2.1 trillion per year. And the Obama administration jacked up the debt at a rate of $817 billion per year. Interest payments on the debt have topped 36% of total tax receipts. Pro-abortion groups spent 8x money as pro-life groups on referendums Pro-abortion forces spent eight times the money spent by pro-life efforts on the 2024 election referendums. Live Action News reports a total of $244 million spent by pro-abortion organizations on the ballot measures while the pro-lifers put in only $29 million.   Psalm 37:35-36 testifies, “I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a native green tree. Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; Indeed, I sought him, but he could not be found.” Bitcoin skyrocketed since Trump landslide Bitcoin, the first decentralized cryptocurrency, almost breached the $100,000-per-share threshold over the weekend, reports CBS News. The Trump landslide stimulated a rush on cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has increased by 33% in value since November 5th.  By contrast, gold slipped about 1% in value over the same time period, hovering around $2,700 an ounce.  International adoptions down, 100,000 U.S. kids available for adoption And finally, international adoptions to families in the United States have dropped off sharply — now only 1,300 per year, reports Zero Hedge. That's down from 12,700 in 2009. The United Nations Children's Fund reports 153,000,000 orphans in the world.   Most recent numbers indicate 368,000 U.S. children in foster care and over 100,000 available for adoption, while American families adopt around 100,000 children each year.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, November 26th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

For tredje amerikanske valg i streg er mexicanere og andre migranter ved at blive syndebukke for problemerne i USA, og mange forudser, at indvandringspolitikken kommer til at blive afgørende i præsidentvalget. Donald Trump er ikke overraskende en hardliner på området, og de seneste uger har han skærpet retorikken over for indvandrere – senest da han mente, at haitianerne i Springfield spiste de lokales kæledyr. Samtidig er det også Donald Trump, som amerikanerne har mest tiltro til, når det handler om problemerne med illegal indvandring til USA. På overraskende vis er Kamala Harris begyndt at læne sig mere og mere op ad sin republikanske modstanders konservative linje. Jyllands-Postens udlandsredaktør, Michael Bjerre, har været i svingstaten Arizona, og han har besøgt dem, det hele handler om – migranterne. Hvorfor har Kamala Harris ændret holdning i indvandringsdebatten? Og kan hendes anstrengelser ende med at give hende sejren i svingstaten Arizona?  Gæst: Michael Bjerre, udlandsredaktør på Jyllands-PostenVært: Mathias Bonde Tilrettelæggelse: Pernille SkytteKlip og produktion: Mikkel Brygger Mortensen Foto: Joachim Ladefoged Der er lånt klip fra ABC News, Associated Press, CNN, FOX og Public Broadcasting Service  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The hoaxes that you are probably most familiar with today are tied to legends. They are a means to justify an end. Think of the famous grainy photo of the Loch Ness Monster which was falsified to prove the monster's existence. Similarly, think of the sketchy video of Big Foot which was also tampered with to prove that Sasquatch was real. But what of the hoaxes that stand alone? The hoaxes that confuse or mislead even the most intelligent minds. These are where the juicy stories can be found. Today, on Found Objects, I share a story or two (or several lol) about hoaxes that will make you stop in your tracks and consider the validity of even the most seemingly legitimate tales.

The recently filed and highly publicized Florida versus the Department of Education lawsuit could change the face of higher education across the US. At stake is the ability of accreditors to set standards in the accreditation versus how much state governments can be involved in accreditation affairs. Essentially the lawsuit is pushing to allow institutions to change their accreditors without being restricted by the Department of Education and that, as the owner of state schools, the state has control over what these institutions can do. In this podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton once again speaks with higher ed legal expert Michael Goldstein of Tyton Partners, who returns to Changing Higher Ed to discuss the background behind the lawsuit, its reasons, and its implications for higher education institutions and accreditation. Podcast Highlights Florida's Gov DeSantis directed his attorney general to file a lawsuit against the Department of Education. The case, Florida v. Department of Education, questions the authority of the Department to have a third party certify the quality of education, require independent boards, and a host of other things. Florida's complaint was filed in federal district court on June 21. The US Department of Justice has yet to file a response. Before the lawsuit, Florida passed a law at Gov DeSantis' direction that would require every institution in the State to change its accreditor in a relatively short cycle. The intent was to get Florida institutions out of the purview of SACSCOC and move to more conservative accreditors. This also had the intention of applying pressure on accreditors to back away from protecting the independence of institutional boards to allow states to take a more affirmative role in what they want to do. The legislation basically asked, “Why doesn't the Department of Education have an accreditation process for determining what institutions are qualified for the same way that the federal government decides what drugs are suitable for use in medical treatment through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration?" After a harsh reaction, the state changed its stance to say that within two years, the State required that all public institutions in Florida change their primary institutional accreditor. In the current accreditation process, states authorize institutions to grant degrees by their criteria, and then the school must be accredited by an accrediting agency that the Department has determined to be a reliable arbiter of institutional quality. Then, if the Department of Education determines that the institution has the financial stability and the administrative capability to manage the student aid programs, it could enter into a participation agreement, give Pell Grant loans, and be in the Federal Family Education Loan [FFEL] program, and in the direct loan program, enabling it to access trillions of dollars of student aid. The lawsuit says state governments are the owners of state institutions and that, as creatures of the state, these schools are responsible to the state legislature and the state government. So, if the legislature or the state government directs that these schools should act in a particular way, they should not be prohibited from doing so. This is analogous to an accreditation standard rule that was made to allow for-profit institutions to participate in student aid programs. The rule says that the board must be independent, and a majority of the members of the board are required to be independent of ownership to provide some level of insulation between the financial interests of the parent company, who is the owner, and, by law, the conduct of the institution. This supports the lawsuit's theory that the state owns state institutions. The Florida lawsuit first asks the court to determine that outsourcing institutional assessment of institutional quality to a non-governmental entity is an unconstitutional delegation of governmental authority. If that argument is rejected, the lawsuit asks to prevent the Department of Education from restricting the ability of institutions to change their accreditor. Because institutional accreditors are no longer restricted by region or country, Florida winning the lawsuit could result in the creation of different rules regarding the kinds of issues that the institutions are dealing with in Florida. There are also questions on how this could impact how NACIQI and the Department of Education approve accreditors. This accreditation lawsuit is similar to the ongoing question of whether states have too much authority in SARA. If an institution is accredited, approved by a state, and that state is a participant in NC-SARA, SARA says that the state can offer its online courses anywhere in the US (except California, which is not a signatory to the SARA agreement) without further approval.

Despite uncertain beginnings, public broadcasting emerged as a noncommercial media industry that transformed American culture. In Shadow of the New Deal: The Victory of Public Broadcasting (U Illinois Press, 2023), Josh Shepperd looks at the people, institutions, and influences behind the media reform movement and clearinghouse the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) in the drive to create what became the Public Broadcasting Service and National Public Radio. Founded in 1934, the NAEB began as a disorganized collection of undersupported university broadcasters. Shepperd traces the setbacks, small victories, and trial-and-error experiments that took place as thousands of advocates built a media coalition premised on the belief that technology could ease social inequality through equal access to education and information. The bottom-up, decentralized network they created implemented a different economy of scale and a vision of a mass media divorced from commercial concerns. At the same time, they transformed advice, criticism, and methods adopted from other sectors into an infrastructure that supported public broadcasting in the 1960s and beyond.

The Waco Siege was an insane standoff between the Branch Davidians and the US government.  What started as an attempt to see what was going on inside the infamous compound, turned into a months-long horror story that still has America talking today.  The leader of that cult and the subject of today's show, David Koresh, can rightfully be classified as a monster, but what was it that drew his followers to him?  Was it his insane, ultra-conservative message?  The idea that he was the second coming of God?  Was it that curly head of hair, paired with the pedo glasses?  We'll dive into this and a whole lot more in the David Koresh episode of AHC Podcast.   Want to help the AHC Boys get to Denver?  Any and all help and support is appreciated! https://gofund.me/70060003       Intro Music Credits: [ GUITAR INSTRUMENTAL BEAT ] Sad Rock [FREE USE MUSIC] Punch Deck - I Cant Stop Support Punch Deck: https://soundcloud.com/punch-deck/tracks  / @punchdeck  https://open.spotify.com/artist/7kddu...

At one point being a June bride was something to aspire to. Young people would set their sights on the first full month of the summer to start their lives together. But today June has taken on a new title: Pride Month. It's the celebration of the antithesis of the biblical nuclear family. There's a lot for us to know about Pride month and how believers should process this very public spectacle. Listen in as Pastor Philip brings us #TruthCurrents.   Carl R.

This episode is the first of two conversations paying tribute to the legendary science series NOVA, the longest running documentary series on television.    As NOVA approaches its 50th season on PBS, host Michael Azevedo spoke with Michael Ambrosino, the series creator, and with Paula Apsell, who served as the series' Executive Producer for more than 3 decades.   First up is the conversation with Michael Ambrosino.    In 1971 television producer Michael Ambrosino was in London taking part in a year-long fellowship program with the BBC and happened to see some episodes of a science-based British TV show. Ambrosino worked at Boston's legendary public television station WGBH, and he'd been there since 1956 -just a year after it went on the air.   In 1970 the station had become part of the brand-new, government-backed Public Broadcasting Service aka PBS, with new funding that allowed WGBH to begin thinking bigger.    That's why Ambrosino was in London: While there he observed the making of several episodes of Horizon, an educational science-based series that, to the surprise of BBC officials, was actually pretty popular with viewers.   Ambrosino felt there was a disappointing lack of educational science programming in the U.S., and seeing the success of Horizon spurred him to do something about it.    In May 1971, shortly before returning home to Boston, Ambrosino wrote a five-page letter to Michael Rice, then vice president of WGBH, outlining in detail a science show for PBS. His idea: to air a series of shows on a wide variety of science-based subjects.    That letter has essentially remained the blueprint for NOVA ever since.   On March 4, 1974, NOVA made its debut with the tagline “Science adventures for curious grownups.”    Michael Ambrosino, now 92 years old, spoke to Making Media Now from his home in Florida.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.

A recent Dear Colleague letter that addresses the Department of Education's upcoming expansion of a third-party service regulation will likely impact nearly all higher ed institutions that contract with a vendor to use their services and programs. The original rule was designed to monitor contracted companies that provide colleges and universities with services to manage various aspects of Federal Student Aid. In his latest podcast episode,  Dr. Drumm McNaughton discusses the recent Dear Colleague letter and the upcoming regulation expansion with Michael Goldstein, Managing Director of Tyton Partners' Center for Higher Education Transformation.  Mike talks about: Why the Department penned the letter and what it says. What the Department's position is on the regulation it's expanding. What colleges and universities will likely be impacted by the implementation of this expanded rule. How it will likely affect the working relationship between institutions and third-party servicers. How higher ed has been reacting to the letter. What will likely happen as a result.   Podcast Highlights The Dear Colleague says that the Department of Education will have the authority to look at the contracts and economic relationships between institutions and enterprises that provide them with services, including online program managers. This will require them to deliver detailed information about their finances to the Department. Based on laws and regulations, the Department will also be immune from any type of congressional review and from being challenged in the courts. The Department believes it's responsible for ensuring that the Federal financial aid monies is being properly used, and thus are examining transactions between institutions and these enterprises. But it has grabbed hold of a third-party service or regulation, which was intended for entities that actually put their fingers on the federal money. The Department of Education was prompted to publish the Dear Colleague letter because the GAO, the Inspector General, and various congressional oversight committees have said the Department doesn't fully understand this relationship between institutions and the enterprises that provide them with third-party services. The Department issued this Dear Colleague letter on February 28. It initially gave higher ed two weeks to comment on it, but the comment period was extended to March 30. The Department also moved back the implementation date from May 1 to September 1. The Department also published an announcement saying that it is going to initiate a Negotiated Rulemaking process that will include a comprehensive review of multiple regulations, including regulations that involve the oversight of entities that are providing services to institutions. The Department will initiate this over the next six to eight months, starting in late spring. These regulations will likely not go into effect until July 1, 2024, at the earliest. Negotiated Rulemaking enables the Department to implement regulations, whereas a Dear Colleague letter is an opinion that can be rescinded the day after it was issued and by the next administration. The Department is likely attempting a regulatory proceeding because, if there is a change, it will have effectively changed the rules. And by the time there is another administration, it will have triggered a process that cannot easily be reversed if the Department has promulgated a rule, even though it has not necessarily gone into effect. With a few minor exceptions, every higher ed organization, including those usually at odds with each other, like the American Council on Education and the US Chamber of Commerce, have united by saying that the Dear Colleague position is wrong. More than just institutions that use third-party or online services will be affected. Essentially everything short of janitorial services will or may fall under these rules, including LMS or any online program delivery software that is “rented” by an institution. This will also likely prevent institutions and those entities that work with institutions from actually being able to work together. The Department has likely self-sabotaged itself by essentially saying that companies that are normally subject to the foreign exclusion regulation no longer have to comply since the Department does not have that authority.   #DearColleague #HigherEducation #HigherEdPodcast About the Podcast Guest Mike Goldstein Mike Goldstein has a long history of close engagement with higher education.  He was the founding Director of New York City Urban Corps, the nation's first large-scale student intern program designed to support access for less affluent students through the use of the Federal Work Study Program.  He went on to lead a Ford Foundation-supported effort to establish similar programs in cities across the U.S.  He returned to New York City government as Assistant City Administrator and Director of University Relations.  From there, Mike joined the then-new University of Illinois Chicago campus as Associate Vice Chancellor for Urban Affairs and Associate Professor of Urban Sciences.  In 1978 Mike joined the Washington, DC law firm of Dow Lohnes to establish a new legal practice focusing broadly on issues confronting higher education.   By 2014 when his firm merged with the global law firm Cooley LLP, the higher education practice he headed was the largest and one of the highest regarded in the country.  Mike has been a pioneer in the development of alternative mechanisms and institutional structures for the delivery of high-quality postsecondary education, including helping to accomplish substantial regulatory reforms that made telecommunicated and then online learning broadly available.  He is the recipient of the WCET Richard Jonsen Award, CAEL's Morris Keeton Ward, the President's Medal from Excelsior College, and USDLA's Distance Learning Hall of Fame Award, as well as an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Fielding Graduate University for his contributions to the field of adult learning.  He is a graduate of Cornell University and New York University School of Law, and was a Loeb Fellow at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.  He and his spouse Jinny, an education and media consultant and former head of education for the Public Broadcasting Service, live in Washington, DC.   Read the podcast transcript →   About the Podcast Host Dr. Drumm McNaughton, host and consultant to higher ed institutions.

To top it off, the updated look had to appeal to all 300-plus network affiliates across the nation. No sweat, right?

“Form a cohesive picture of value,” Flint McGlaughlin taught in Above-the-Fold Psychology: How to optimize the top 4 inches of your webpage (https://meclabs.com/course/sessions/above-the-fold-psychology/).Not only can that approach help you get more “yes” answers to your conversion goals, it can help you judiciously use the word “no” as well, a topic I discuss with the latest guest on the How I Made It In Marketing podcast.You can hear that conversation, filled with lesson-filled stories from her career, in my discussion with Ariel Glassman, Director of Marketing, Sage Communications (https://www.aboutsage.com/). Glassman has worked in small businesses in the federal government marketing space for 20 years and has worn many hats in her career.Stories (with lessons) about what she made in marketingHumble leaders provide more than expertise and direction.Successful business happens when the focus is on relationship building, not the transactions. Plus, it's much more rewarding and fun! Don't hesitate to say ‘yes' when presented with a cool, unique opportunity (carpe diem).Flexibility and agility are key components of a successful collaboration.Be aware of your limits; challenge them; push them; know when to say ‘no' – especially when you have people on your team who specialize in the tasks that need to be done.Trust your gut and have patienceRelated content mentioned in this episodeMarketingSherpa (https://www.marketingsherpa.com/)How I Made It In Marketing podcast (https://marketingsherpa.com/podcast)Social Media and Content Marketing: Don't expect the world to find you (https://marketingexperiments.com/social-marketing/social-media-content-marketing)Public Relations: The best press release is no press release (https://sherpablog.marketingsherpa.com/pr-fame-communications/public-relations/)About this podcastThis podcast is not about marketing – it is about the marketer.

When the folks at the Public Broadcasting Service went looking for a charismatic personality to host their latest documentary film series on the natural world, they reached out to a man with just the right skills to bring the outdoors into every home in America. Baratunde: My name is Baratunde Thurston. I am a multimedia storyteller operating at the intersection of race, technology, democracy and climate. Because I love this planet. The wild. There's nothing quite like the feeling of stepping outside. And breaking free from the modern world. I'm in northern Minnesota, on the edge of a lake that resembles an ocean. In places like this, it's easy to see nature as something so powerful, so vast. We could never leave a real mark on it. But our footsteps are almost everywhere these days. And while knowing that can weigh you down, it can also lift us up and inspire us to change. JTP: The show airs on PBS television stations nation-wide. And like its host, the program explores those points of connection where the outdoors and the human experience come together for fun, adventure and environmental conservation. Each episode introduces viewers to remarkable people and places from one end of this great nation to other. In advance of the premiere of this amazing new series I had the chance to talk to Baratunde Thurston and get an inside look into America Outdoors.   The PBS Series America Outdoors is coming to your favorite Public Television station. Check your local listings for dates and times near you. Baratunde Thurston is the author of the book “How to be Black” and he's the host the “How to Citizen” Podcast.

You know the meeting: rambling conversations, tangents, and vague instructions. Not only is this frustrating, but it's downright unempathetic to people! What is this lack of clarity costing you in terms of productivity, engagement - and bottom line budget?  Today my guest, The Queen of Clarity, Ann Latham, shares why we aren't clear and what it's costing us. Today, Anne talks about how clarity unleashes next steps. We talk about where clarity is and where it is not in your organization, three requirements for creating clarity, and what you can do today to increase clarity in your organization and boost productivity and engagement. I'll give you a spoiler: Eliminate "treadmill" verbs.

That is what unleashes real progress.The first step is seeing how unclear we are. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.Creating your agenda with treadmill verbs is a waste of time and will not help your meeting to progress forward. "When you're clear, everyone can be on the same page, everyone can contribute their maximum and do their best, and everyone knows where things stand." —  Ann Latham About Ann Latham, President, Uncommon Clarity®ANN LATHAM, known widely as the Queen of Clarity, is the author of the new release, THE POWER OF CLARITY, in addition to THE CLARITY PAPERS and UNCOMMON MEETINGS.  She is also the founder of US-based consulting firm Uncommon Clarity®.

When our latest guest told me the story of how she learned, “exclamation points are for lazy people,” it reminded me of “foster conclusions with specific, quantifiable facts” ...a lesson from Above-the-Fold Energy: How to engage the prospect's mind with a carefully crafted opening (https://meclabs.com/course/lessons/above-the-fold-energy/). Take a look at your headlines, sub-headlines, opening paragraphs and other writing you use to communicate about your business. Are you trying to force potential customers to believe it with (literal or figurative) exclamation points? Or are you helping foster conclusions by presenting information?That is an opportunity for marketing optimization Nicole Salla sparked in me during our discussion.

In December 1988, Brazilian environmentalist Chico Mendes was murdered at his home in the Amazon Rainforest. Chico was a rubber tapper who witnessed the destruction of the forest—of his home—and built a community both in Brazil and abroad to stop the devastation. For this, he was killed in cold blood.In episode one, hosts Graham Zimmerman and Jim Aikman set off to better understand the Brazilian Amazon. They explore both the politics and biology of one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. They also learn about the history of the conflict in the Brazilian Amazon and why someone like Chico Mendes risked his life to safe it.Episode sources:Hecht, Susanna, and Alexander Cockburn.
