Episode #431: “I'm a sniper,” says Maui, deputy commander of the Karenni Nationalities Defense Force (KNDF). He and four top commanders describe being pushed from peaceful protest into armed resistance after the 2021 coup. They say nonviolent methods failed when the military answered with bullets, mass arrests and village burnings, leaving youth to choose between submission or taking up arms. Maui—once an organic farmer and environmental activist—explains the moral conflict: killing is deeply uncomfortable and can become addictive, yet they fight to prevent future generations from inheriting tyranny. The KNDF emphasizes discipline, training and strict protocols around weapons and landmines to limit civilian harm. Recruits start with bamboo-stick drills and brief, intense training between frontline rotations. Command structure, community support and unity among groups transformed disparate volunteers into a more effective force. Khine Sitthu, the drone operator, recounts improvising an air capability from agricultural drones, adapting online resources and AI tools to rig and navigate munitions. Drones shifted the battlefield, offering local “air support” and enabling strikes that conserved scarce ammunition, though the military later fielded jammers and heavier equipment. Innovation, resourcefulness and local backing explain KNDF's tactical successes, including downing military aircraft and overrunning battalions—despite persistent shortages of weapons and ammunition. The commanders stress ethics: they target military forces, avoid indiscriminate bombing, and maintain post-conflict responsibilities (clearing mines and humanitarian support). They call on the international community for noncombat material support, including sanctions on military supply chains, while arguing that external assistance could shorten the conflict and reduce civilian suffering. Above all, they insist their struggle aims to build a democratic, nondiscriminatory Myanmar, not perpetuate violence. They remain open to negotiated outcomes if the military permanently relinquishes political power, insisting any settlement must guarantee civilian rule and institutional reform.

Nick Rose, Dalton Stooksbury, and Camden Coltrain break all things college football in the second episode of Blue Chips Recruits!
Some leaders coach the game. Others change it.Coach Tamisha Augustin is doing both.From her early days on co-ed YMCA courts to becoming the fearless head coach of Hampton University Women's Basketball, her story is a blueprint for grit, grace, and generational impact. With over two decades of experience — spanning high school, the G-League, and the NCAA — Coach Augustin has mastered the art of building culture, elevating players, and proving that excellence has no limits.Tamisha's journey began when she picked up a basketball at age five. Her family envisioned cheerleading; she envisioned greatness. By middle school she was running co-ed teams and making believers out of skeptics.That love carried her to Alabama A&M, where she became a four-year starter, captain, and leader on and off the floor. “It made me who I am,” she says — the woman who could fight through anything, on any court.Coach Augustin didn't plan to coach. With a biology degree and a master's in microbiology, she was on the road to dentistry — until a legend, Boo Williams, invited her to coach an AAU team of 14-year-olds.That was the moment.“This is God's order,” she says.From there, she climbed every rung of the basketball ladder — high-school gyms, college sidelines, and even the G-League. Her philosophy? If the door opens, walk through it — and make it better than you found it.Her time at the University of Arizona marked a defining chapter. As an assistant during the Wildcats' historic 2021 National Championship run, she witnessed firsthand how belief and chemistry create miracles.From Aari McDonald's iconic performances to that unforgettable win over UConn, Augustin soaked up lessons that still guide her today: trust the process, build team energy, and lead with heart.In 2022, she accepted the head-coaching role at her home-state HBCU, Hampton University — calling it a “God-ordained assignment.”This wasn't just a career move. It was a homecoming.“Hampton wins,” she declares. “We're here to continue that tradition.”Under her leadership, the Pirates shocked the basketball world with a comeback win over a Power Four program in her first season — rallying from 16 down in the third quarter. Her teams don't fold. They fight.Coach Augustin's vision extends beyond basketball. She's built partnerships like the Mielle Organics x Hampton WBB initiative, connecting players with internships, brand opportunities, and WNBA mentors.“We're not selling dreams,” she says. “We're making them happen.”At Hampton, academics, athletics, and character development all share the same spotlight — because she's not just building players, she's building women who lead.Hampton University isn't just a school — it's a movement.For athletes who want the full HBCU experience and the challenge of top-tier basketball, Coach Augustin's pitch is simple:“Whether you want to be a pro, a lawyer, or a doctor — we're preparing you for life after basketball.”Discipline. Effort. Consistency. Faith. That's the Hampton way.As the Pirates charge into a new era, Coach Tamisha Augustin stands at the center — leading with purpose, passion, and that unmistakable Hampton pride.This isn't just a program; it's a legacy in motion.So drop a

You've been there. The recruit is engaged, the vision is aligned, and then silence. Or worse, hesitation that comes from a spouse, a current manager, or a friend. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I unpack one of the most common and misunderstood challenges in recruiting: how to lead when someone else is influencing your recruit behind the scenes. This is the framework I teach leaders to help them stay calm, coach through fear, and win trust without becoming defensive or pushy. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The silent deal-breaker: recruits influenced by voices you can't see [01:00] Recognize the Pattern – Recruits often consult with a spouse, friend, mentor, or current manager during decision-making. This is normal, not a red flag [02:00] Outside Voices Are Often Uninformed – They offer opinions without context. They bring emotion, not strategy. You must equip your recruit to lead those conversations [03:00] Step 1: Bring It Up Before It Happens – Set the expectation early that these voices may show up, and offer your support when they do [04:00] Step 2: Normalize the Moment – Tell them it's okay to feel pulled. Then offer to talk through anything they're hearing, without judgment or pressure [05:00] Step 3: Ask Better Questions – What exactly did they say? What concern do you think is behind that? What part of it resonates with you? [06:00] Step 4: Validate the Emotion – Instead of debating, say, "That makes sense." Recruits need safety before they can process clearly [06:30] Step 5: Offer to Include the Outside Voice – "Would it help if we brought your spouse or mentor into a call—not to pitch, just to answer questions?" That move alone often builds trust [07:00] Step 6: Equip Them With Language – Give the recruit specific, value-based reasons for the move so they're not fumbling through the conversation at home [08:00] Personal Story – Richard shares how a recruit nearly walked away after a buddy's advice, until one key moment helped him realize he was borrowing someone else's fear [09:00] Final Challenge – Think about one stalled recruit. Reach out this week, invite the conversation, and be the calm voice in the noise Key Takeaways Outside Influence Is Inevitable – But when you're proactive, it doesn't have to be a deal-breaker Don't Argue. Equip – Help your recruit navigate those conversations with clarity, not confusion Invite the Inner Circle In – Offering to speak with spouses or mentors shows transparency and builds credibility Fear Grows in the Dark – The best recruiters name concerns early, normalize hesitation, and help people process wisely You're Recruiting More Than the Candidate – You're recruiting their household, their belief system, and their circle of trust In a world full of loud opinions, the leaders who slow down, listen well, and guide with clarity are the ones people choose to follow. Want help building a recruiting system that equips you to lead high-trust, high-emotion conversations like this?

Ever had a recruiting conversation stall, not because of your offer, but because the recruit says, "I don't know"? In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down the exact framework I use to move people from fog to clarity. You'll learn how to coach through indecision, lead with belief, and help recruits see a future they can say yes to. Because the best recruiters aren't just closers. They're clarity coaches. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The most common stall in recruiting isn't about money. It's about uncertainty [01:00] Why Recruits Say "I Don't Know" – Most are tired, reactive, and surviving in someone else's system [02:00] Mindset Shift – Their lack of clarity isn't a red flag. It's an opportunity to coach [02:30] Framework Step 1: Values-Based Questions What kind of leadership brings out your best? What kind of culture do you want? What would make this next chapter meaningful? [03:30] Framework Step 2: Explore Frustrations What's not working? Where are you stuck? What are you tolerating? [04:00] Framework Step 3: Cast Personal Vision What would success feel like a year from now? What do you want more of, and less of? What kind of team would energize you? [04:30] Framework Step 4: Reflect Back Their Answers "You value freedom. You want a leader who sees you. You're ready to grow, but only if it aligns with your life." This creates connection and belief [05:00] Framework Step 5: Build a Decision-Making Framework What matters most in this decision? What fears are coming up? What would give you peace about moving forward? [06:00] Framework Step 6: Create Forward Momentum – "Take this week to reflect. Let's meet next Wednesday. I'll walk you through what life on our team looks like." [07:00] The Power of Slowing Down – Most recruiters talk at people. Elite leaders guide them to clarity [07:30] Real Story Example – One coaching client helped a stuck LO find clarity through one simple question: "If nothing changes this year, how will that feel?" The LO said, "I'd regret it." That changed everything [08:00] Final Challenge – Pick one stalled recruit this week. Slow down. Ask better questions. Reflect back what you hear. Help them believe change is possible Key Takeaways Clarity Creates Certainty – Most people aren't unsure because of the opportunity. They're unsure because they've never been coached through the fog Stop Pitching. Start Reflecting – Recruits don't want features. They want alignment Your Questions Matter More Than Your Pitch – The right conversation can unlock belief faster than any presentation Slowing Down Builds Trust – When you become the first person to truly listen, you become the leader they trust The Best Recruiters Are Coaches First – Your job isn't just to close the aligned. It's to help people find their alignment Want to coach through clarity at scale? Subscribe to my weekly email at 4crecruiting.com, or book a session at bookrichardnow.com. Let's help you build trust before you ever talk about the job.

Here's a question that'll make your head spin: How do you train MLM recruits who have zero sales experience to actually sell instead of just posting on social media and hoping for the best? That's the question Andrew Osborne from Pittsburgh brought to me. Andrew works in direct selling and network marketing, specifically health and wellness nutrition supplements. Like most MLM leaders, he's frustrated watching new recruits default to the guru-approved strategy of posting on Instagram and waiting for the magic to happen. Spoiler alert: The magic never happens. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. The "social media is the new cold calling" myth is one of the most damaging lies being sold to new direct sales representatives today, and it's costing MLM organizations their best potential talent. The Social Media Trap: When Easy Becomes Impossible Remember that story in Fanatical Prospecting where I went head-to-head with someone who swore their social media guru had all the answers? I said, "Great, you do yours for a week, I'll do mine for a week, and we'll test it out." Guess who won? Here's the brutal truth: Posting on social media feels easy because it lets you keep people at arm's length. You don't have to face rejection. You don't have to interrupt strangers. You don't have to have uncomfortable conversations. But here's what actually happens. After two months of posting videos that get one view each and zero sales, your recruits quit. They're demoralized, broke, and convinced MLM doesn't work. The real problem? They were never taught how to actually sell. Why MLM Sales Training Is Harder Than You Think When Andrew recruits someone into his network marketing organization, they're making two types of sales: selling the product and recruiting new team members. Most of these people have never sold anything in their lives. They came from every background imaginable except sales. Something happened in their life that made them say, "I want more." That motivation is critical, but motivation without skill is just frustration wrapped in hope. The things they need to do are really hard. Nothing in their life has prepared them for what sales prospecting actually requires. They have to sacrifice what they want now (ease and comfort) for what they want most (their goals). That's why the first question I ask every new recruit is this: What are your top five goals in the next twelve months? Not company goals. Not team goals. Their goals. Because if they don't want something bad enough to go through the pain of rejection, nothing else matters. The Only Formula That Actually Works In MLM, there's one simple formula that works every single time: Go talk with people. The more people you talk with, the more you recruit. The more product you sell. It's that simple. Think about it this way. If you had a marketing strategy that could create all your product sales and recruiting automatically, you wouldn't need an MLM. You'd just have an e-commerce business. The reason network marketing exists is because a network of people can spread the word and sell better than online ads. But here's the problem. Talking with people means getting past your discomfort. It means interrupting a stranger in line at Walmart. It means seeing someone at church who mentions financial problems and saying, "Hey, what if I had a way to help you out?" Most people would rather post on TikTok than have that conversation. What to Teach Your MLM Team If I'm building an MLM sales training program for recruits, here's exactly what I'm teaching them, in this order: First, teach them how to open conversations. Not pitches. Conversations. With strangers and with people they know. What's the first question they ask? How do they approach someone in line at Walmart? How do they bring up their network marketing business with friends without being weird? Run drills on this. Practice it until it becomes muscle memory.
