What if trying to look perfect is the exact thing costing you the sale? In this episode of Sales Lead Dog, Christopher Smith sits down with Todd Caponi, author, keynote speaker, and one of the most respected voices on transparency in sales, to discuss why honesty closes faster than perfection and how modern negotiation should actually work. Drawing on behavioral science, decision science, and decades of sales history, Todd explains why buyers trust the negative, why we buy when we can predict rather than when we are convinced, and how leading with your flaws can speed up sales cycles and raise win rates. If you are a founder, sales leader, revenue executive, or seller who wants to build trust faster and negotiate without the games, this conversation is full of ideas you can use right away. What You'll Learn Why a perfect five-star pitch actually slows down the sale Why buyers seek out the negative before they say yes The behavioral science behind why we buy when we can predict How leading with what you are not great at builds instant trust Why your first sale is the most expensive one you will ever make How the Four Levers of Negotiating replace discounting with collaboration Why transparency from leadership keeps teams engaged and loyal How honest pricing kills sticker shock and shortens sales cycles About Todd Caponi Todd Caponi is an award-winning sales leader, keynote speaker, and author whose work has reshaped how organizations think about sales, leadership, and negotiation. After leading sales organizations through multiple high-growth exits, including serving as a worldwide Vice President of Sales of the Year, Todd founded Sales Melon, where he helps revenue teams apply behavioral science, decision science, and sales history to build trust, improve buyer confidence, and drive stronger outcomes. He is the author of the acclaimed books The Transparency Sale, The Transparent Sales Leader, and Four Levers Negotiating, and is the host of The Sales History Podcast. Recognized as one of the industry's leading voices on transparency in selling, Todd works with revenue organizations around the world to transform the way they message, negotiate, lead, and grow.

In coffee we can often question the impact of our efforts. Over time though, small consistent steps in the right direction can not only carry you over many miles, it can transform you and those for whom you are working. What may seem like plodding work now, is the foundation for what will be built in the future. Today we are talking with someone whose work has taken several turns over the years. All of which were in the direction of uplifting farmers with whatever means were at hand. Today the massive impact of those consistent actions has led to impact beyond measure. We are talking with Ben Carlson of Long Miles Coffee. Ben Carlson is a coffee industry leader and social entrepreneur with 23 years of global experience, including 16 years on the ground in East Africa. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, Ben serves as the CEO, Chief Culture Creator, and Sales Director of Long Miles Coffee—an impact-driven organization dedicated to producing world-class specialty coffee while uplifting smallholder farming communities out of generational poverty. Ben's journey in East Africa began in 2010 following a quality survey of Burundi's coffee sector. Driven by a vision to challenge exploitative supply chains, he transitioned from coffee trading to hands-on production, founding Long Miles Coffee in 2013 alongside his wife, Kristy. What started with a single washing station serving 180 families in Bukeye, Burundi, has scaled into a multi-country operation employing over 130 team members and supporting more than 9,500 farming families across Burundi and Uganda. Under Ben's leadership, Long Miles has consistently set benchmarks for quality and sustainability, earning numerous Cup of Excellence awards and achieving Burundi's highest coffee sales per pound. His current work focuses on pioneering climate-resilient agriculture, including building Africa's first carbon-neutral, minimal-water coffee processing facility and developing a regenerative model farm on Mount Elgon in Western Kenya. Recognized as Imbibe Magazine's "Coffee Person of the Year," Ben is a frequent international speaker, event host, and competition judge on impact-driven business models and sustainable agriculture. He also serves as the regional distributor for Ecotact protective packaging in Uganda and Kenya. Ben lives in Kenya with his family, continuing his mission to reshape the future of African specialty coffee.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Work at Home RockStar Podcast, Tim Melanson chats with Robert Siciliano, owner of Protect Now LLC, about building a long-term work-from-home solopreneur business and the security habits every remote entrepreneur needs to avoid scams, data breaches, and account takeovers. Robert shares his biggest business mistake, hiring "experts" without fully understanding the work himself, and how AI is now helping people shorten that learning curve by researching and asking better questions before they hire. He also explains how criminals are using AI to scale phishing and fraud, and why the "attack surface" for remote workers has grown so much since COVID. The conversation dives into the core protections every work-from-home business owner should have in place: unique long, strong passwords, a password manager, and two-factor authentication, along with VPNs on public Wi-Fi. Robert walks through his "strategic human firewall" mindset, moving from trust by default to verifying everything, and touches on the next evolution of password security, passkeys. Who is Robert Siciliano? Recognized as the media's go-to cybersecurity expert and creator of The Strategic Human Firewall™, Robert Siciliano is a private investigator, Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), and the CEO of Protect Now, LLC. As one of the nation's most trusted voices on cybercrime and identity theft, he has built an unparalleled media track record, appearing on over 500 television shows, contributing to over 1,000 radio programs, and being featured as an expert source in over 3,000 articles. A fierce advocate for personal and professional security, Robert is the architect of the CSI Protection certification and a bestselling author who strips away technical jargon to deliver "straight talk" solutions. His expertise is regularly sought by every major network, including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and The Today Show, where he empowers viewers to protect their data, privacy, and wealth from modern threats. During the episode, Robert also shared that he has been a solopreneur since early 2001 and, in his own words, considers himself "unemployable" at this point, having built his business entirely around working on his own schedule.

What if your biggest business-development advantage wasn't your legal skill, but how you make people feel? In this episode, you'll hear how a former big-firm lawyer turned coach built a decades-long career helping attorneys grow their books by leading with listening, caring, and genuine relationships. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Stewart Hirsch discuss: Why “how you make people feel” drives business development Lessons from watching a non-lawyer sell through listening and care Stuart's journey from law firm associate to in-house to full-time coach Shifting from marketing to true business development in law firms Practical habits: following up, setting next steps, and thinking like in-house counsel Key Takeaways: Technical excellence is now table stakes; the differentiator is how you treat people and how you make them feel in every interaction. Deep, genuine listening often outperforms sophisticated “pitches” when it comes to earning trust and long-term business. Careers can pivot powerfully when you follow the work that energizes you, even if it means turning down “dream” jobs that would pull you off your path. Consistent follow-up and always setting clear next steps are two of the most reliable habits for building a strong book of business. To serve in-house clients effectively, outside counsel need to think like business decision-makers, not just risk-spotters, and offer practical, directional advice.

What if a group of higher-dimensional beings could speak directly through a human channel... and answer some of the biggest questions about God, death, trauma, and the future of humanity? In this episode of the Align Podcast, Sara Landon, best-selling author, spiritual teacher, and channel for The Council, shares their perspective on consciousness, fear, reincarnation, personal power, and humanity's awakening. The conversation explores why we forget who we are, what may happen after death, how trauma shapes our reality, and what it means to move beyond separation into greater love, freedom, abundance, and self-awareness.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. What Women Still Fight For. We women have to fight for so much: being seen, heard, understood, listened to, recognized, and acknowledged. Despite progress, we are still taking a stand to transform women's rights, to overcome barriers to the freedom of voice, opinions, and expression. Little Human to Big Human. Maybe like me you wonder if there was a thru-line of advocacy between who you were as a Little Human Girl and who you are today as a Big Human Woman. What if the courage to speak up, to speak out, to say what you mean and mean what you say was always there? What It Takes. Maybe it's a matter of time, confronting your story, upending your upbringing, and challenging yourself to be a testament to truth. Or a situation that demands a response. Women whose pioneering work laid a foundation for future feminist thought, greater autonomy and independence shared a commitment: I may be one among many but I can draw many to me like fillings to a magnet and together we will do the work that's calling to be done. Click HERE for 36 examples of women who took a stand Devil Within. I was a strong-willed handful as a child. Today we might say I was spirited; but back then I was told “A dimple in the chin means a devil within.” I still have a dimple in my chin. That never left me. What I had to unlearn was a voice that society, religion, patriarchy, and education quieted down. Who am I? The courage to be one's self begins with digging down into the soil of that self. Who am I? What treasure trove of skills, experiences, wisdom, and more can I uncover? And when I uncover the story of myself how do I bestow permission on me to be that self? For a long overdue lesson in courage I turned to Virginia Woolf who knows well the “supreme difficulty of being oneself.” "Let us simmer over our incalculable cauldron, our enthralling confusion, our hotch-potch of impulses, our perpetual miracle — for the soul throws up wonders every second. Movement and change are the essence of our being; rigidity is death; conformity is death: let us say what comes into our heads, repeat ourselves, contradict ourselves, fling out the wildest nonsense, and follow the most fantastic fancies without caring what the world does or thinks or says. For nothing matters except life.” ~ Virginia Woolf Story Prompt: Turn back the pages of time, find that chapter when you were bright and shining, alive and curious, energetic, perceptive, or outspoken. Who is the Little Human Girl that used to be you? Where is she now? Write that story and share it out loud! Thank you for listening. I'm glad to have you here.

Discover how an employment lawyer built a seven-figure practice not by “working the room,” but by being radically authentic, hyper-generous, and unforgettable in her relationships. This episode breaks down how to turn clients, competitors, and even adversaries into your most loyal referral sources. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Randi Cohen discuss: Non-traditional path from prosecutor to employment law partner Forming and growing a boutique firm through partnership Authentic, curiosity-driven networking (not “working the room”) Turning clients, competitors, and adversaries into referral sources Overcoming imposter syndrome and trusting your own skills Key Takeaways: Business development becomes much easier when you stop “networking” and instead focus on being genuinely curious about people's lives, needs, and goals. Long-term success often comes from leading with generosity—connecting others, sharing referrals, and helping even when there's nothing immediate in it for you. The most valuable relationships are built over time through repeated touchpoints, shared experiences, and small acts of follow-up and care. How you handle billing and money can either cement trust or destroy it; protecting relationships is far more valuable than squeezing every last 0.2 from a time entry. Confidence is often forged in scary, high-stakes cases—learning to push through imposter syndrome and rely on your preparation and judgment is a pivotal professional shift. "My entire approach to networking is not to think of it as networking. It's just authenticity." — Randi Cohen Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.

This episode I am reading from JM DeBord's book 'The Science of the Paranormal: The Truth Behind Telepathy, ESP, Reincarnation, and More Mysterious Phenomena'. Discover the truth behind ESP, paranormal powers, and psychic abilities—the perfect gift for curious minds and bold scientists alike. Some paranormal phenomena and powers of the mind are real, but mainstream science dismisses it all as fantasy. The Science of the Paranormal looks toward the overwhelming evidence that something weird and wild lies behind our everyday reality. Credible witnesses have seen paranormal activity with their own eyes. Scientists have studied it in their labs. And everyday we see depictions of it in popular media like Stranger Things and X-Men. Separate fact from fiction in this book and get answers to questions like: Can objects be moved with psychokinesis? Is the future foreseeable? Can we communicate telepathically? What does science say about ESP? Where is the evidence for reincarnation and spirits?

In our new exclusive – ESG Decoded x Superpollutant Sessions, we're shifting the climate conversation toward something that doesn't get nearly enough attention, but has the potential to drive some of the fastest, most meaningful climate impact available right now: superpollutants.You've likely heard a lot about carbon dioxide, and for good reason. But gases like methane, nitrous oxide, and refrigerants are significantly more potent (hence the name superpollutants), and yet they remain underrepresented in mainstream climate discussions, business strategies, and public awareness.So, the question is: why? And more importantly: what can we do about it?In this multi-voice video episode, we're bringing together a range of perspectives—from scientists and climate experts to industry leaders, corporate decision-makers, and policy experts, to connect the dots and challenge how we think.You'll hear a series of focused conversations, each offering a different lens on the same challenge: how do we accelerate practical, scalable solutions that already exist, and what it will take to move from conversation to action.Meet the experts driving this conversation with our lovely host, Erika Schiller: Segment 1: Dr. Gabrielle Dreyfus (Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development) & Dr. Ilissa Ocko (Spark Climate Solutions)Segment 2: Derek Six & Alison Tyndall (ClimeCo)Segment 3: Michelle Jolly (Amazon)Segment 4: Kristen Gorguinpour (Climate Action Reserve)Don't miss an episode—subscribe to ESG Decoded on your favorite podcast platform and follow us on social for the latest updates!Episode ResourcesUN Secretary-General's Call to Action on Methane - https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/methane IPCC Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) - https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar7/ Montreal Protocol & Kigali Amendment - https://ozone.unep.org/treaties/montreal-protocol Climate Action Reserve - https://climateactionreserve.org/ ICVCM Core Carbon Principles - https://icvcm.org/ -About ESG Decoded ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner.

Intelligence isn't about collecting more data. As Sanjib Sahoo argues, data runs the business. Intelligence grows the business. So why are so many organizations still relying on instinct? Harry sits down with Sanjib Sahoo, President of Global Platform Group at Ingram Micro, whose perspective challenges some of the biggest assumptions in modern B2B Sales. Many organizations focus on building bigger pipelines, automating more processes, or gathering more data. Sanjib believes they're solving the wrong problem.

This episode I am talking to JM DeBord about his book 'The Science of the Paranormal: The Truth Behind Telepathy, ESP, Reincarnation, and More Mysterious Phenomena'. Discover the truth behind ESP, paranormal powers, and psychic abilities—the perfect gift for curious minds and bold scientists alike. Some paranormal phenomena and powers of the mind are real, but mainstream science dismisses it all as fantasy. The Science of the Paranormal looks toward the overwhelming evidence that something weird and wild lies behind our everyday reality. Credible witnesses have seen paranormal activity with their own eyes. Scientists have studied it in their labs. And everyday we see depictions of it in popular media like Stranger Things and X-Men. Separate fact from fiction in this book and get answers to questions like: Can objects be moved with psychokinesis? Is the future foreseeable? Can we communicate telepathically? What does science say about ESP? Where is the evidence for reincarnation and spirits? Bio Known online as RadOwl, he's published over 25,000 dream interpretations at r/dreams — Reddit's largest dreaming community, which he's led as head moderator since 2014. No other public record of dream expertise comes close. He's the author of DREAMS 1-2-3: Three Steps to Interpret Dreams — the most complete modern guide to dream interpretation — plus The Dream Interpretation Dictionary, RadOwl's Crash Course, and The Science of the Paranormal.

The Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast with Vicki Noethling
In this session of Derapy, whoops.. doxxed myself lolbaby money
Organizational leaders are often under constant pressure to deliver simple solutions in the face of deeply complex challenges, with confidence and speed. You may experience this as a kind of "either/or" decision-making, a tension between doing things this way or that way. A leader pressured to decide quickly may miss insights that emerge from sitting with the tension within the paradox they face. Amidst these dynamics, can leaders hold the possibility of "both/and"? Our guest, Wendy Smith, suggests that moving beyond reductionist thinking requires embracing the interdependent tensions of paradox. She encourages us to shift our focus from making forced choices to discovering how opposing forces can reinforce one another. Cultivating "both/and" thinking is no longer a purely theoretical exercise; it is an essential, everyday capability needed to navigate the ambiguity of our changing world, disrupt transactional habits, and build courageous, thriving communities. Dr. Wendy K. Smith is an expert in organizational behavior whose research focuses on paradox theory and how leaders navigate competing demands to drive creative solutions. She is the co-author of Both/And Thinking: Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems. Recognized as a Thinkers50 top global management thinker and one of the most cited researchers in her field, Dr. Smith is the Dana J. Johnson Professor of Management & Faculty Director of the Women's Leadership Initiative at the University of Delaware. She will serve as a Fellow at Harvard Business School for the 2026-27 academic year. This episode Challenges the pervasive demand for immediate clarity and rapid decision-making, demonstrating how rushing to resolve ambiguity can diminish both decision quality and human dignity. Unpacks the conceptual difference between a dilemma (a choice to be made) and a paradox (interdependent, synergistic tensions, such as stability vs. change or the abstract vs. the practical). Plays with the idea of "cauliflower living"—a deep integration where a strong global economy feeds the distinct, hyper-local traditions of communities, an example of "Both/And" thinking that revitalized Fogo Island, Newfoundland. Examines how unheld uncertainty breeds a social contagion of fear, proposing building a capacity for collective courage to hold interdependent tensions rather than retreating into polarized camps.

Jeremy Knauff spent nearly two decades building a successful marketing agency — until a severe health crisis nearly killed him and took the business down with it. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, the U.S. Marine Corps veteran and founder of Spartan Media shares what it was like to lose everything, the autoimmune condition that brought him to the edge, and the moment a fellow Marine's suicide became the turning point that changed how he showed up in the world.Jeremy walks us through exactly how he rebuilt his authority from zero: writing his way onto top podcasts and into outlets like Forbes and Entrepreneur, then multiplying every feature into a network of content across social and video. We also dig into what "authority" means now that AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are the ones vetting experts before a journalist — or a client — ever does, and why pay-to-play media features can quietly work against you.If you're rebuilding after a setback, or wondering how to be findable and credible in an AI-driven world, this episode is your roadmap.In this episode:How a health crisis and years of chronic pain nearly ended Jeremy's career — and his lifeThe fellow Marine's suicide that became his turning pointThe exact content strategy that took him from invisible to Forbes and EntrepreneurHow to turn one media feature into dozens of pieces of contentWhat "authority" means when AI tools are the ones evaluating youWhy fake/pay-to-play media features can hurt more than they helpThe mindset shift that keeps you moving when you want to quitConnect with Jeremy:https://spartanmedia.com/Connect with Sabine:https://sabinekvenberg.com/resources

Deconstructing the Myths of Darwin and Bird Evolution Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World Moss clarifies the common misconception that Charles Darwin immediately recognized the significance of the Galapagos finches. In reality, Darwin initially failed to label his specimens by island and relied on ornithologist John Gould to identify them as related species. Ironically, Darwin used pigeons, not finches, as his primary example of evolution in On the Origin of Species. The segment also explores punctuated equilibrium, a theory by Eldredge and Gould suggesting that evolution occurs in rapid bursts rather than slow, gradual changes. This is evidenced by the work of Peter and Rosemary Grant, who observed finches adapting their beaks in just a few years due to drought. Mossfurther discusses the Australian magpie, explaining it is not actually a member of the crow family but an example of convergent evolution. These birds demonstrate high intelligence, capable of remembering individual humans and defending their nests with strategic aggression. (3)1859 WILD TURKEY
