Podcasts about real impact

It's not easy to make people rethink their assumptions. If you want to shift perception, you need to challenge expectations, gently, cleverly, and sometimes with a perfectly executed deepfake.That's the brilliance of Orange's Women's Soccer Ad, a mind-bending celebration of women's soccer disguised as a highlight reel of men's soccer. And in this episode, we're decoding its genius with the help of Angie Westbrock, CEO of Standard AI.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from surprising your audience, staying true to both your brand and your customer, and not allowing biases to affect your content.About our guest, Angie WestbrockAngie Westbock's mission is to build high-performance, diverse teams that transform challenges into opportunities.

Leveraging this expertise in commercialization strategy and growth, Angie is able to guide organizations through every phase of development. What B2B Companies Can Learn From Orange's Women's Soccer Ad:Surprise your audience. Great marketing can earn attention through clever misdirection, then deliver a powerful payoff. The Orange ad didn't just say women's sports deserve respect,  it showed it by tricking viewers into watching with existing bias, then rewiring their perception. Angie explains, “Had they not executed the deepfake as well as they did, you would've noticed it from the beginning, and it would've just validated any of the biases that were already there.” The same applies to B2B: stop announcing your message, design it to unfold in a way that surprises and engages.Technology isn't the story; the outcome is. Orange used advanced deepfake technology, but they never made that the headline. The ad wasn't about AI, it was about bias, identity, and respect. The technology was the tool, not the message. “We always try to  tie it to the customer's use cases and ROI versus just about the tech,” says Angie. This is a trap many B2B companies fall into. You're proud of your tech stack, your infrastructure, your proprietary model, and rightly so. But your buyer doesn't care. They care about what your product helps them become. Sell the before and after, not the engine.Don't let your biases affect your content. Too many B2B marketers create content for the people who already agree with them, existing customers, internal stakeholders, or the "safe" ICP. But powerful messaging challenges assumptions. Orange didn't make an ad to celebrate women's soccer for people who already love it, they made an ad to get skeptics to pause and rethink. Angie says, “It wasn't just to the women to honor them and to empower them. It was actually to the men also, to say, you need to revisit your thinking here.” In B2B, you're often selling change: a new workflow, a new tool, a new way of doing things. That means your messaging needs to meet people where they are, not where you wish they were. Quote“ We get so caught up in what we want to say that we don't take into consideration the very specific viewpoints of the customer that you're selling to and making sure that it's going to land with them in a way that aligns with how they're thinking.Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Angie Westbrock, [01:00] Why Orange's Women's Soccer Ad [01:50] What Standard AI Actually Does[05:33] Why Physical Retail Is Still Underrated[11:38] Designed for Rewatching and Social[13:51] Real Tech, Real Players, Real Impact[14:55] Messaging That Reaches the People Who Need to Hear It[21:59] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Why Orange's Women's Soccer Ad [34:38] Not a Cheap Trick — A Trusted Brand Moment[38:13] It All Starts With a Single Shift in Mindset[40:00] What Marketers Want From In-Store Strategy[47:41] Standard AI's Brand Strategy and Differentiation[52:40] Final Thoughts: Break Through the NoiseLinksConnect with Angie on LinkedInLearn more about Standard AIAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit one of the most persistent challenges in software projects: scope creep. Using AI prompts, we revisit a past episode on “Mastering Scope Creep: Navigating the Hidden Challenges in Software Development.” In that discussion, we explored what scope creep is, why it happens, and how to prevent it from stalling projects, draining teams, and eroding trust. Today, we're building on that conversation with fresh insights and practical strategies. Listen to the full episode for more real-world stories and practical strategies to keep your projects on track. What Is Scope Creep? Scope creep occurs when requirements change after development begins—often without proper planning or agreement. Rob describes it as “moving the goalposts” for what “done” means. This differs from: Iteration – Evolving requirements after review and delivery. Agile flexibility – Adjusting before a sprint starts, not mid-execution. Uncontrolled changes shift the destination while you're already driving toward it. Scope Creep vs. Feature Creep Michael introduces feature creep—adding extra features—as a related but distinct problem. Feature creep bloats the product, while midstream requirement changes alter agreed-upon work. Both can waste time and resources, but shifting requirements often cause rework and missed deadlines. Why It Happens The hosts highlight common causes: Poorly defined requirements Lack of regular checkpoints Stakeholder indecision or shifting priorities Underestimating the impact of “small” changes Without a process to control evolving requirements, teams risk chasing ever-changing goals. The Impact of Unmanaged Scope Creep Burnout from Endless Adjustments When requirements keep shifting, tasks drag on for weeks instead of days, creating “death march” projects that drain morale. If the definition of done changes mid-task, close the ticket and open a new one. Damaged Trust in Estimates Developers see moving targets, clients see missed deadlines, and both lose faith in estimates and planning. Growing Technical Debt Repeated changes often necessitate quick fixes, making the system more challenging to maintain. Stories from the Trenches Rob recalls a four-week integration project that stretched to nine months due to unclear ownership of data mappings. Michael shares a modular app that was copied into six separate projects instead of being built for reuse. One small change multiplied into six updates—an expensive lesson in poor change control. How to Prevent Scope Creep Expansion Define “Done” Clearly – Every task needs explicit completion criteria. Set Regular Checkpoints – Confirm that requirements remain relevant throughout the project. Separate New Work – Treat changes as new tickets with new estimates. Clarify Ownership – Assign responsibility for every requirement and integration. Challenge “Quick” Changes – Always Assess the Real Impact. Key Takeaways Unmanaged scope creep—or any uncontrolled change—can sink a project. By defining requirements early, revisiting them often, and isolating new work from current work, teams can adapt without losing control. Managing changes well is the difference between a project that adapts and one that never ends. Your Scope Creep Challenge Think about the last project you worked on. Did requirements change midstream? Were there regular checkpoints to confirm priorities? How did those changes impact the timeline, quality, or team morale? This week, choose one active project and: Review its requirements with the team. Confirm whether they are still valid. If anything has changed, document it as a new item rather than altering the current work in progress. By doing this, you'll practice catching and managing evolving requirements before they cause unnecessary rework.

It's Monday, August 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus CA pastor warns if anti-parent bill passes they need to leave state Pastor Jack Hibbs, Founder of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, sounded the alarm last week about a dangerous anti-parent bill in California. HIBBS: “[Democratic California Governor] Gavin Newsom and his buddies up there have crafted Assembly Bill 495. This bill 100% strips parents of their parental rights. It allows an individual to obtain this new form that comes with the bill. They can download it. They can get it mailed to them. They can go pick it up. They fill it out. “They can name a child, let's say Suzie Q. So, John goes to a school in California and says, ‘I have this form, and I am asking for Suzie Q to be put into my custody. I want to take her out of school.' “The bill does not require a background check for this man. Requires no identification, no driver's license, no nothing. There's no requirement in the bill for the school to call you to ask you if it's okay if John takes your daughter out of school. “It is literally being called by opponents of it --  I'm one of them -- the California Legislature Trafficking Bill. It is unbelievable. Go to realimpact.us. Read about it. “Four or five reprobates have written it. We're going to let you know who they are, and we're going to campaign against them.” Supporters of the controversial bill see it as a necessary response to President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. In a so-called “fact sheet” about the proposal, Democratic Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez argued that the bill enables the kids of illegals to be cared for if their parents are detained or deported. However, conservatives and Christians believe the law could be used in nefarious ways, allowing non-related adults to a child to gain legal authority over the child with a single affidavit that does not require parental consent, reports Faithwire.com. The California Senate is about to vote on it. That's why Pastor Hibbs urged the thousands in his congregation to travel the 400 miles north to California's capitol on Tuesday, August 19th to speak out against it. HIBBS: “I need all of you to take August 19th off. I'm going to ask all of you to drive, bus, fly. I don't care how you get there, but I want you to meet me at the Capitol steps in Sacramento because our elected leaders are right now trying to get a bill passed that's the unthinkable. “We're looking for a minimum of 5,000 people to be there that day. Let your voice be heard. The last time we gathered up there, it was the largest gathering in 27 years in our state capitol.” Gina Gleason, director of the Real Impact ministry at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, said,  “[Democrats] have a supermajority and Republicans are in the minority. So usually the Democrats get pretty much everything that they want unless we, as the church, as conservatives, stand up and speak up, and that's what we're trying to do with this bill. If we make enough noise, if we get enough attention, they will back off.” Pastor Hibbs said that the problem is too few Christians vote. HIBBS: “This is the California government, ladies and gentlemen, that somebody's voted them in. I think we did, maybe, by not voting. ‘Nah, I just sit that out. I'm going to get involved in that kind of stuff.' And … here we are. “Because whenever there's an evil, evil always fills a void, a vacancy. Jesus said that a man void of the Holy Spirit, the demons go search out and bring seven more demons worse than himself, inhabits the man because there was a vacancy. “Because good people don't vote in California, we've got idiots running this state, perverts.” Pastor Hibbs issued a dramatic warning. HIBBS: “If this bill passes, I'm going to ask you to leave the state of California. You're going to need to pack up, and you're going to have to get out. You got to get out. You got to run with your kids. You got to go. I would not subject my child to one second in this public school system with this new law, AB 495. “Your child's safety is number one in your life. I never thought the day would ever come when I would encourage you to leave. “As you can tell, I'm angry, and I'll die on this hill. This is the end of California. If this bill passes, your children are now subject and vulnerable to state-sanctioned kidnapping or trafficking.” Pray for the demise of AB 495.  If you live in California, tell your legislator you oppose AB 495 and attend the Tuesday, August 19th rally in Sacramento. Proverbs 21:15 says, “When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous, but terror to evildoers.” Trump to meet with Putin in Alaska after issuing ‘very severe' tariff threat President Donald Trump announced that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on American soil this Friday to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine, reports One America News. On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow.” The upcoming talks between the two world leaders follow after President Trump gave Putin a 10-12 day deadline to secure a ceasefire in Ukraine, or potentially face “very severe tariffs” and sanctions. Man avoids prison after viciously assaulting two elderly pro-lifers in Baltimore And finally, Patrick Brice, who was found guilty earlier this year of savagely beating two elderly pro-life activists in a May 2023 attack outside a Baltimore Planned Parenthood abortion mill, was only sentenced to home detention and probation last Thursday, but notably will not be required to spend a day behind bars, reports LifeSiteNews.com. On August 7, Baltimore City Circuit Judge Yvette Bryant  sentenced Brice to just one year of home detention and three years of probation for brutally attacking pro-life sidewalk counselors Mark Crosby and Dick Schaefer, who were 73 and 80 respectively at the time. Schafer and Crosby were simply praying and offering alternatives to women who were coming to kill their babies, when a Planned Parenthood “deathscort” -- a staff member or volunteer who "escorts" women past pro-lifers -- attacked them. In broad daylight, Brice, who was 28, assaulted Schafer from behind, throwing him into a planter and window. When Crosby ran to his aid, Brice hit him in the face, knocking him to the ground, sending him crashing onto the brick sidewalk, and then Brice kicked him in the head.  Tragically, Crosby suffered a fractured plate bone in his right cheek and had to have his eye orbit replaced with metal. His right eye was blinded, and he suffered a concussion. Video of the attack, which we have linked in our transcript today, released by Baltimore Police clearly shows the extreme violence of Brice's attack on Crosby and Schaefer. In February, a jury convicted Brice on two counts of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment for attacking the pro-life activists, but did not reach a verdict on the more serious charge of first-degree assault. Shockingly, in a June bench trial, Judge Bryant acquitted Brice of the first-degree assault charges on the absurd grounds that Crosby had “provoked” the defendant.  The elderly pro-lifer told Daily Wire, “Baltimore is criminal-friendly. It's not victim-friendly at all, especially if you're a senior. Judges do not like pro-lifers. They don't like us saving babies, I don't know why.” Brice also yanked off Crosby's crucifix and chain which he was wearing around his neck. Crosby said that despite the pain he endured from the attack, “My shedding blood in front of Planned Parenthood for Jesus and the babies” has actually been “a gift to me.” The “millions of babies murdered” at Planned Parenthood over the years “have shed rivers of blood.” Isaiah 59:7 describes the abortionists and the Planned Parenthood “deathscorts,” like Patrick Brice, quite well.  “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” The prosecution had asked Judge Bryant for a 10-year prison sentence, urging the judge to send a message that attacking two peaceful elderly men in broad daylight for their religious or political views will not be tolerated. But Judge Bryant, who shockingly did not allow Crosby to show his wounded eye to the jury during the trial, opted to give Brice a “slap on the wrist.” Send a polite, 2-3 sentence letter to Judge Yvette Bryant objecting to her decision to acquit Patrick Brice of the first-degree assault charge and her refusal to give him any prison time at all for his violent attack on two peaceful, elderly men.  Address it to:  Judge Yvette Bryant, Cummings Courthouse, Chambers 252, 111 N. Calvert Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.  I hope you are one of 50 Worldview listeners to send her a letter. In light of her miscarriage of justice, she needs to hear from us.

Send us a textThe headlines warned of economic disaster when steel tariffs were announced, but what's actually happening on the ground? The Steel Kings dig deep with Ohio State Representative Rodney Creech to separate market reality from media hype.Representative Creech brings a unique perspective as both a fourth-generation farmer and state legislator, offering candid insights about American manufacturing's future. "Although there was some short-term pain, possibly some mid-term pain for long-term gain, I think we're there," Creech explains, highlighting companies that have already begun returning to the United States after previously moving operations overseas.For Jared and Eric, the tariff situation prompted strategic innovation rather than surrender. They share how they're expanding their business model to include pole barns while maintaining their core steel building operations. This adaptability showcases what's happening across American small businesses – finding creative solutions that prioritize domestically-produced materials without passing dramatic price increases to customers.The conversation reveals a significant disconnect between apocalyptic news predictions and actual market conditions. While initial reports suggested potential price increases up to 50% for steel products, businesses working with American-made steel are experiencing only marginal adjustments driven by demand. This practical reality check offers valuable perspective for anyone trying to understand how Washington policy translates into Main Street impact.Perhaps most compelling is the discussion around America's renewed interest in supporting local businesses. As Rep. Creech puts it with stark simplicity: "Turn your news off. Buy local. Enjoy life." It's a philosophy that represents growing consumer awareness about the value of knowing who stands behind the products they purchase.Ready to hear authentic insights about manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and the resilience of American business?

The tenacious Kelsey Snelling is back to give us the inside scoop on the viral Camp Shame podcast. What started as a documentary project over a decade ago has become a genre-blending podcast that unpacks the rise and fall of Camp Shane, the infamous weight loss camp for kids, many epsiodes in which I'm featured! Stacy and Kelsey go deep on what it means to tell the truth when shame is baked into the story. We talk about the creative shift from film to podcasting, the surprising reach of Camp Shame, and the vulnerability that surfaces when you share your story without being on camera. Expect everything from behind-the-scenes chaos to family feuds, diet culture takedowns, and the emotional aftershocks that follow you well into adulthood. It's messy, it's real, and it's necessary. If you've ever felt unseen in your experience with body image, shame, or being the “before” in someone else's narrative—this one's for you. And if you think this conversation doesn't apply to you… you might be the exact person who needs to listen. 0:00 | Origin Story: From Documentary to Podcast 3:00 | Safety in Audio: Vulnerability Without the Visuals 6:00 | Unexpected Reach: Who's Really Listening? 9:00 | Audience Response: Validation, Gaslighting, and Shared Truths 12:00 | Genre-Bending: True Crime Meets Diet Culture Meets Cult 15:00 | Behind the Gates: Camp Shane's Real Impact 18:00 | The Ripple Effect: Trauma Beyond Camp Walls 21:00 | Sneaky Education: How Storytelling Sparks Awareness 24:00 | Trolls, Trolls Everywhere: Real-World Fatphobia 29:00 | You Don't Know What Someone's Going Through 34:00 | Call to Action + Listener Stories Find the Camp Shame podcast on any of your favorite platforms!

In this episode of the Scalable Law Podcast, I dive into a game-changing topic that comes up time and time again with the firm owners I coach: When is the right time to hire a practice manager in a law firm, and what kind of impact can they have on your growth and operations? If you're constantly fielding team questions, managing leave requests, approving every invoice, or buried in admin instead of focusing on strategy, it may be time to level up your law firm management. Hiring a skilled practice or operations manager could be one of the most pivotal decisions you make to scale effectively and reclaim your time as the business owner. Episode Summary In this episode, I share exactly when I believe it's the right time to hire a practice manager in a law firm—typically when your revenue is in the $500K to $1M range. I break down the key responsibilities they can take off your plate, how this hire supports stronger law firm management, and how bringing in the right person allowed me to step back from the day-to-day of running my own firm. You'll learn how to spot the signs that you're overdue for this game-changing hire—and what to look for in a practice manager who can help your firm grow without you becoming the bottleneck. Key Segments When to Hire a Practice Manager in Your Law Firm Thinking about hiring a practice manager? If you're hitting growth ceilings or drowning in daily operations, it might be time. Signs It's Time to Hire: You're no longer the best person to handle day-to-day law firm management. You're overwhelmed, juggling people, clients, admin, and operations. You're ready to scale, but need leadership support to do it sustainably. What a Practice Manager Actually Does A great practice manager in a law firm isn't just admin support—they're your operational engine: Team Management: Handles HR, recruitment, performance reviews, and team check-ins. Client Experience: Improves intake processes, addresses complaints, and maintains service standards. Systems Oversight: Manages software, streamlines workflows, and ensures compliance. Operations & Admin: Takes care of invoicing, reporting, supplier management, and more. Leadership Support: Acts as your second-in-command, solving issues before they hit your desk. The Real Impact for Law Firm Owners Bringing in a practice manager creates space for growth and clarity: More time for strategy, vision, and high-value work Freedom from operational distractions and stress A scalable team structure with stronger accountability Better culture, performance, and profit Who to Hire When hiring for this critical law firm management role, look for: Strong leadership and operations experience A proactive, solutions-first mindset Confidence to manage up—not just follow instructions Law firm experience is a bonus, but not mandatory Hiring a practice manager could be the most important step you take to scale your firm without burning out. Think of them as the engine that powers your growth while you lead from the front. Takeaway Hiring a practice manager in my law firm was one of the most pivotal decisions I've made. It completely transformed how I operated, freeing up my time, clearing mental clutter, and allowing me to shift from being stuck in the day-to-day to focusing on real law firm management and growth. If you're buried in admin, constantly putting out fires, and craving more freedom and sustainable progress, this is the strategic hire that can move you from overwhelmed to in control.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson interviews Chris Stein, senior politics reporter for The Guardian US, about the "big, beautiful bill" driven by President Trump and congressional Republicans. Stein explains that the bill makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent, primarily benefiting high earners, while also introducing new deductions and extending some relief for select groups. He highlights significant cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, noting these changes are delayed until after the midterms, while increased funding for immigration enforcement and the border wall takes effect more quickly. The episode also addresses the bill's large projected impact on the federal deficit and the political strategy behind delaying the most controversial cuts. Levinson and Stein wrap up with insights into House Democrats' push for Trump-related Epstein files, illustrating the limited tools available to the minority party.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Tax Changes: Immediate Relief, Long-Term Effects: The bill makes the Trump-era tax cuts permanent, creating significant (and expensive) relief that primarily benefits top earners, while also introducing temporary new cuts for working-class voters. However, not everyone qualifies, and the flipside could mean fewer resources for government programs.Social Safety Nets: Delayed Pain, Lasting Impact: Major changes to Medicaid and SNAP (food stamps) are built in—including work requirements and shifting costs to states. Crucially, these cuts are delayed until after the next midterms, affecting rural and Trump-leaning areas the most, but the full consequences won't be felt until later election cycles.Immigration and Deficit: Shifting Priorities, Bigger Budget: The bill pours billions into border enforcement—including ICE, deportations, and the border wall—while still adding an estimated $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, eclipsing even the emergency pandemic-era spending.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

“An interdisciplinary approach to medicine is probably the way the future is going to go. There will be dieticians and a whole host of different people involved in helping someone to heal.” —Jonathan Carp   For too long, we've been told that health comes in a medicine bottle or a doctor's office, but what if the real power lies in the food we choose every day? If you've ever felt frustrated by quick fixes that don't last or wondered how to make healthy changes that actually stick, you're not alone—and this episode is for you. Dr. Jonathan Carp is a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of Miracle Noodle, a company born from his passion for using nutrition and lifestyle to transform health. With years of experience helping patients and building a wellness brand, he's on a mission to make healthy eating accessible, enjoyable, and truly life-changing. Tune in as Justine and Dr. Carp break down the myths about comfort food, reveal how small changes can lead to big results, and share real stories of healing, grit, and the surprising joy of eating well.   Meet Jonathan: A Dermatologist since 2000, Dr. Jonathan Carp started Miracle Noodle in 2006. In 2004, he had a patient who healed herself from lupus through nutritional and lifestyle modification. Since then, he has treated hundreds of patients through lifestyle modification, especially nutritional changes, with a special interest in auto-immune diseases. This has turned into a nutritional obsession that led to his learning about the health benefits of the konjac plant. While he still practices medicine, a significant amount of time is now also devoted to Miracle Noodle and exploring and testing healthy, healing food options based on traditional cultural diets. Dr. Carp firmly believes that all that ails us in the world today could be solved by going back a few generations and making sure that the nutritional wisdom of our ancestors is remembered and combined with the latest science. While Miracle Noodle keeps him busy, it has allowed him the resources to investigate and learn about the nutritional wisdom of the world and how to get products and knowledge out to the world through his patients and his companies.

In this eye-opening episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with David McNeilly, a financial advisor from Michigan, who shares how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) has had a measurable, personal impact—not just on his clients, but on his own family's financial freedom. With a background in ministry and a passion for helping others, McNeilly now helps middle-class families navigate retirement planning, tax strategy, and long-term financial goals. But when he crunched the numbers comparing his 2023 tax bill under current rates versus pre-TCJA levels, the result shocked him: a $4,700 difference in annual tax savings—enough to take his family on a Disney cruise. McNeilly walks listeners through how policies from Washington shape real lives, sharing stories of clients who have retired early, sent their kids to private school, or bought long-dreamed-of lake houses—opportunities made possible by smart planning and a more favorable tax environment. He also explains how he's preparing clients for the potential expiration of TCJA, and why higher taxes could force middle-class families to rethink their futures. If you want a clear, data-driven perspective on how federal tax policy affects everyday Americans—not the wealthy, but the working families—this episode delivers it straight from the source.
