Empire Records (1995) was chosen by Patreon supporter Nick, and it represents a perfect snapshot of mid-90s youth culture wrapped inside a modest studio comedy. Directed by Allan Moyle and produced by Regency Enterprises for Warner Bros., the film was developed during a period when studios were eager to tap into the alternative music scene and Generation X attitudes. Rather than focusing on blockbuster spectacle, the production centered on character-driven storytelling and the energy of independent record store culture, something that resonated strongly with the decade's music-obsessed audiences.Filming took place primarily in Wilmington, North Carolina, with production designers transforming a local storefront into the now-iconic Empire Records shop. The cast featured a mix of emerging young actors, many of whom would go on to have prominent careers in film and television. Although the movie underperformed during its initial theatrical release, it found new life on home video and cable television throughout the late 1990s. Over time, Empire Records developed a passionate cult following, becoming one of the defining nostalgia pieces for fans of 90s alternative culture and music-driven coming-of-age films.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISOne record store. One unforgettable day. And a group of employees who refuse to let the music stop.When a tight-knit crew of misfits faces the possibility of losing the place that means everything to them, emotions run high, tempers flare, and secrets start spilling out. Over the course of one chaotic day, friendships are tested, dreams collide, and the soundtrack of a generation plays loud.Empire Records — where the music is loud, the drama is louder, and the day will change everything.FUN FACTSEmpire Records was released during the height of the 1990s alternative rock boom, featuring a soundtrack packed with era-defining artists.The film helped popularize the phrase “Damn the man, save the Empire!”, which became a lasting cult quote among fans.Several cast members, including Liv Tyler and Renée Zellweger, were early in their careers when the film was released.The movie's soundtrack album became more commercially successful than the film itself, selling strongly throughout the 1990s.Many scenes in the film were trimmed or removed from the theatrical cut, with additional material later appearing in extended versions.October 8th has become known among fans as “Rex Manning Day,” inspired by one of the film's most memorable in-universe events.The movie is frequently cited as a cult classic of Generation X cinema, capturing the attitudes and anxieties of 90s youth culture.The fictional Empire Records store was inspired by the independent record shops that thrived before digital music changed the industry.Over the years, the film has inspired fan screenings, themed parties, and annual celebrations tied to its cultural references.Despite its modest box office, the movie's reputation has grown significantly thanks to home video and streaming-era rediscovery.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREWhat if the biggest growth lever for your law firm isn't more ads—but stronger relationships? In this talk, Charley Mann explains how referral marketing can dramatically increase a firm's case inventory when done intentionally. Drawing on the scientific concept of “complementarity,” he argues that marketing isn't an either-or choice between referrals and digital marketing. Instead, the strongest firms build systems that combine multiple marketing channels working together.Charley introduces a simple framework for how professionals earn money over time: first through what they do, then what they know, then who they know, and finally who they are. For most law firm owners, the biggest growth opportunity lies in expanding “who you know” by building intentional relationships with referral partners. This shift creates leverage that goes far beyond billable work or individual expertise.He then outlines a practical three-step referral marketing roadmap that any firm can implement immediately: schedule consistent referral meetings, maintain regular communication through direct mail, and build familiarity through weekly emails. The goal is to stay top of mind with referral sources and build relationships that consistently generate new cases. Listen in for all the details. 1:05 Why marketing should never be “referrals vs digital”2:06 The four ways people make money in life3:58 The mistake professionals make when trying to be known4:56 The first step in building a referral engine6:54 Why short networking meetings work better7:54 The power of a monthly print newsletter9:43 Using AI to quickly build referral lists10:32 Why you should send an email every single week11:37 Overcoming the fear of email unsubscribes12:32 Why personality-driven emails outperform legal tips14:30 Keeping emails simple with one message and one call to actionTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Real estate lead generation doesn't have to mean chasing cold internet leads, buying ads, or constantly competing for attention online. In this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon sits down with entrepreneur, author, and Pro Insight co-founder Justin Stoddart to unpack a powerful shift in how agents think about real estate lead generation—moving from downstream competition to upstream relationships. This shift will transform your business and help you get more referrals consistently!Most agents are working harder than ever. They're boosting posts, purchasing online leads, and trying to win the speed-to-lead race—yet their pipeline still feels unstable. Justin challenges this approach by asking a simple but profound question: what if the problem isn't your effort… but where you're fishing?Instead of competing directly for consumers, Justin introduces the concept of building strategic referral partnerships with professionals who are already connected to homeowners before a move ever happens. Think financial advisors, estate attorneys, tax professionals, and insurance agents—people who already have trusted conversations with your ideal clients. By positioning yourself in the right relationship ecosystem, real estate lead generation becomes far more predictable and relational.Garrett and Justin explore how agents can leverage their sphere of influence while expanding into what Justin calls “upstream partnerships.” These relationships allow professionals who already nurture homeowners to introduce you at exactly the right moment—when a move is about to happen. The result is a referral pipeline built on trust instead of urgency.The conversation also dives into the character behind sustainable success. Both Garrett and Justin emphasize that strong referral businesses grow from generosity, service, and integrity. When agents operate with a mindset of stewardship and contribution rather than extraction, they naturally experience greater peace in business and deeper client relationships.You'll also hear practical insights on identifying your ideal client avatar, determining which professionals surround that life stage, and building partnerships that multiply opportunities without multiplying your workload. For agents seeking better money and work alignment, this approach offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional grind of online lead platforms.Whether you're looking for better systems, stronger relationships, or a smarter real estate marketing strategy that doesn't require sacrificing time with your family, this episode will challenge how you think about growth. If you want realtor coaching insights that combine practical strategy with faith-driven leadership, this conversation will equip you to build a referral business that's both scalable and sustainable.Connect with Justin - https://www.instagram.com/justinstoddart/?hl=enWebsite - https://proinsight.com/Get Ashley's Book, The House Hunt - https://www.welcomehomepress.com/Connect with Me!
Top Secret! (1984) was chosen by Dave, and it arrived during a golden era for absurdist American comedy. Directed by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team — Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker — the film followed the massive success of Airplane! (1980) as the trio continued refining their signature style of rapid-fire sight gags, visual jokes, and deadpan delivery. Rather than parodying a single film, the production blended elements of Cold War spy thrillers with the glossy style of Elvis-era musical films, creating a deliberately ridiculous mash-up that leaned fully into the trio's love of relentless, layered comedy.The film also marked the first starring role for Val Kilmer, who was cast largely because of his musical ability as well as his comedic timing. Production took place primarily in the United Kingdom, with elaborate sets and carefully staged visual gags that often required precise choreography and multiple takes. The filmmakers invested heavily in practical effects and cleverly staged illusions to achieve some of the movie's more elaborate jokes. While Top Secret! performed modestly at the box office compared to the team's earlier success, it gradually developed a strong cult following, and today it's widely regarded as one of the most densely packed gag comedies of the 1980s.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISFrom the creators of some of the most outrageous comedies ever made… comes a mission so ridiculous, it might actually work.When an all-American rock star suddenly finds himself caught in a world of secret agents, suspicious governments, and impossible missions, the result is chaos on an international scale. With danger around every corner and nonsense at every turn, nothing is quite what it seems.Top Secret! — the spy movie where the jokes come faster than the bullets.FUN FACTSTop Secret! was Val Kilmer's film debut, launching the career of the future star of Top Gun and The Doors.Kilmer performed all of the singing himself, recording several full musical numbers for the film.The filmmakers created one famous scene by building an entire set backwards and having actors perform actions in reverse.The movie contains one of the highest joke-per-minute rates of any comedy film, packed with background gags and blink-and-you-miss-it jokes.Many of the film's jokes parody 1950s Elvis Presley musicals, including the musical performances.The filmmakers encouraged audiences to watch the movie multiple times, knowing many jokes would be missed on a first viewing.Several gags in the film rely on carefully timed visual illusions, which required extensive rehearsal during production.The movie has become a cult favorite among comedy fans, often ranked alongside Airplane! and The Naked Gun.A number of jokes were edited differently in international versions of the film.The film's layered humor means fans still discover new background jokes decades after its release.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

The Windermere Coaching Minute | Hosted by Michael FanningEPISODE OVERVIEWGeographic farming isn't about blasting postcards and hoping the phone rings. In this episode, Michael Fanning breaks down what it really means to own a neighborhood neighbor first, agent second and why consistency is the only competitive advantage that compounds over time. If you're tired of starting over every quarter, this one's for you.CASE STUDY: STEVE LAEVASTUSteve Laevastu is one of the best examples of geographic farming done right. A longtime Windermere agent, Steve built his business by owning his neighborhood not occasionally, but month after month, year after year. His production is consistently steady because he became part of the fabric of the community. Neighbors talked about his newsletter. His signs were everywhere. People knew his name before they ever needed an agent. That's the compounding power of showing up. Steve didn't chase the market the market came to him.STATS WORTH WRITING DOWN• 87% of neighborhoods have no consistent agent farming them right now• 63% of agents who start a farm quit within 12 months if you stay, you win• Direct mail earns a 91% open rate vs. 20-30% for email• The average person spends 132 seconds with a piece of physical mail• Real client result: 500-home farm, 2 mailers/month = 497% ROI over 2 yearsTHE FARMING TIMELINE (DON'T BAIL EARLY)• Months 1–3: Plant seeds.

Wizards of the Coast (WotC) and Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), highlighting a perceived decade of “executive fumbling.” This includes an inconsistent rebranding of the current ruleset, which the community has largely settled on calling 5.5e (the D&D 2024 ruleset), moving away from the “OneD&D” working title. WotC also announced a “live service” style content roadmap for D&D in 2026, divided into three “Seasons”: Horror (starting June, anchored by Ravenloft: The Horrors Within), Magic (starting July, featuring Arcana Unleashed), and the mysterious Season of Champions (starting October). Orken is a new transmedia universe from the IP design studio SIXMOREVODKA, creators of Degenesis. Unlike their previous work, Orken is not a tabletop game but a lore-driven fantasy suite expressed through art books and serialized fiction. The project explores the central conflict of the native, totemic Orken people of Edom fighting for survival against the technologically advanced invaders known as the Elemon (or “People of Metal”). The Kickstarter campaign for this project successfully funded its initial goal very quickly, focusing on providing immediate, finished, premium products to supporters. Pumpkin Spice is a “magical cozy RPG” The game centers on a young coven of witches who run a magical cafe and protect a “Fount of Magic,” drawing inspiration from works like Kiki's Delivery Service and Legends & Lattes. It utilizes a simple, narrative-first system with standard six-sided dice and “Essence Dice,” with mechanics revolving around brewing magical drinks and interacting with patrons, rather than combat. The campaign’s immense success led to the unlocking of several stretch goals, including a fully dedicated solo-play mode and expansions to the spellcasting system. Renegade Game Studios will publish the Exodus Roleplaying Game in 2026. This sci-fi TTRPG is based on the upcoming Exodus video game developed by Wizards of the Coast’s Archetype Entertainment. The RPG was developed by James Ohlen (former lead designer for Baldur’s Gate) and notably uses 5E as its underlying engine. The initial releases from Renegade are scheduled for August and will include the Exodus Traveler’s Handbook and the Creature Catalog. This move is considered notable as WotC is collaborating with an outside company for the game’s wider release, suggesting a broader distribution strategy. #dnd5.5E #OrkenRpg #PumpkinSpiceRpg #ExodusRPG #RenegadeStudios Orken RPG on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sixmorevodka/orken Pumpkin Spice RPG: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/acheron-games/pumpkin-spice-a-magically-cozy-rpg Dragonbane Trudvang: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/dragonbane-trudvang-the-legend-returns Fallout MEGA Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/L0aArV Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support us by Shopping at Miniature Market (afilliate link): https://miniature-market.sjv.io/K0yj7n Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/ http://www.rcharvey.com Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

A View to a Kill (1985) was chosen by Chris, and it marked a significant transitional moment for the long-running James Bond franchise. Produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and directed by John Glen, the film was developed during a period when the series was balancing its established formula with the shifting tone of mid-1980s blockbuster cinema. With a reported budget of around $30 million, the production aimed to deliver classic Bond spectacle while maintaining the polished globe-trotting style audiences expected. Notably, the film became Roger Moore's seventh and final appearance as 007, closing out the longest tenure of any Bond actor at the time.Principal photography took place across multiple international locations including France, the United Kingdom, and the United States, reflecting the franchise's continued commitment to large-scale, location-driven filmmaking. The production also leaned heavily into contemporary 1980s culture, most famously through its theme song performed by Duran Duran, which became one of the most commercially successful Bond themes ever released. Upon release, the film performed strongly at the global box office despite mixed critical reception. In the decades since, A View to a Kill has remained a notable entry in the Bond canon, often discussed both for its place at the end of the Roger Moore era and for its distinctly mid-80s tone and style.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISOne agent. One mission. And a threat that could change the balance of power forever.When a ruthless new enemy emerges with ambitions that stretch far beyond ordinary crime, Britain's most dangerous operative is called back into action. From high-stakes chases to globe-spanning danger, the mission will push him to the limit like never before.A View to a Kill — the name's Bond… and the clock is ticking.FUN FACTSA View to a Kill features the only James Bond theme song to reach No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, thanks to Duran Duran.At age 57 during filming, Roger Moore was the oldest actor to portray James Bond in an official Eon production.The film includes scenes shot at the Eiffel Tower, marking one of Bond's most memorable European set pieces.Christopher Walken became the first Academy Award winner to play a Bond villain in the official series.The movie was one of the highest-grossing films of 1985 worldwide, despite divided critical reviews.Grace Jones performed many of her own physical stunts, reinforcing her formidable on-screen presence.The title comes from an Ian Fleming short story, though the film's plot is largely original.This was the final Bond film produced entirely during the Cold War era, before the franchise shifted tone in later entries.The movie's San Francisco material has become particularly iconic among Bond location fans.Despite mixed reviews, the film maintains a strong nostalgia following among 1980s Bond audiences.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Here is a question that should keep every sales leader up at night: What do you do when your team has gotten so comfortable managing their existing accounts that they have stopped prospecting for new ones? That is the challenge Jeff Velez brought to a recent episode of Ask Jeb. Jeff works in the real estate services industry, where referrals from agents, brokers, and affiliates drive most of the business. Retention matters. Relationships matter. But because there is always natural attrition, his team has drifted into full farmer mode. If you are shaking your head right now, you are not alone. This is one of the most common and most dangerous patterns I see in sales organizations today. The Farmer Mentality Is Killing Your Pipeline Your book of business is shrinking a little bit every single day. Accounts churn. Contacts leave. Referral partners move on. If your team is not consistently bringing in new logos, you are not standing still. You are moving backward. The reason salespeople drift into pure farming mode is just pure human nature. The bigger a rep’s book gets, the more comfortable they become. They are making money. Things are fine. Why grind through cold calls and new outreach when warm conversations with happy clients feel so much easier? And here is the other thing: calling invisible strangers is hard. The people in your existing accounts are happy to hear from you. The people you are prospecting to are not. That gap in friction is exactly why reps gravitate toward the path of least resistance every single time. The solution is not to yell at your salespeople. This is a leadership problem, not a salesperson problem. If you want your team to prospect, you have to build a system and a culture that makes prospecting non-negotiable. That starts with you. Leaders Are Repeaters If you want your team to prospect, you have to talk about it constantly. Every team meeting. Every one-on-one. Every morning huddle. Leaders are repeaters. You set the tone by what you say, what you measure, what you celebrate, and how you show up. That means when someone brings in a new logo, you ring the bell louder for that than you do for an account renewal. Renewals matter. High margin, great for the business. But if you want prospecting behavior, you have to reward and celebrate prospecting outcomes. Make sure you are not accidentally incentivizing people to farm existing account growth rather than hunt new business. That is a trap I have walked into with more organizations than I can count. You also need to take the guesswork out of who your team should be calling. Sales leaders who expect their reps to build their own prospecting lists and figure out their own targeting are setting their people up to fail. Build the list. Point them in the right direction. Get them in position to win. Then run prospecting blocks together. And I mean together. Do not send your team to the phones and retreat to your office. Lead from the front. Split the Job When You Can One of the hardest things about managing a referral-driven or relationship-heavy business is that you need people who can both hunt and farm. And the honest truth is that most people are not equally gifted at both. Hunters tend to get new business but sometimes burn relationships. Farmers build and maintain accounts beautifully but stop hunting the moment their book is comfortable. If your business can afford it, split the role. Have dedicated hunters focused on new logo creation. Have dedicated farmers or account managers focused on retention and expansion. Most small and mid-size organizations cannot do this fully, which means your leaders have to work twice as hard to build systems that force both behaviors. When you cannot split the job, you have to build structure into the day. Block time every morning specifically for new logo prospecting. It does not have to be a huge window. An hour. Two hours. But it has to be protected, consistent, and non-negotiable. And the leaders have to be visibly engaged in it, not hiding behind their screens while their people make calls. That single behavior sends more of a message than any speech ever will. This Is a Long Game Here is what I told Jeff, and what I will tell you: do not expect this to change overnight. Cultural shifts in sales organizations are slow and painful. You will have reps who resist. You will have leaders who get uncomfortable holding people accountable because they do not want the friction. Push through it anyway. Stake it in the ground. If you stay consistent in your messaging, your structure, and your expectations, you will start to see movement in twelve to eighteen months. New business will start coming in. Your team will start to feel the momentum. And that momentum builds on itself. I am dealing with this in my own organization right now. We got comfortable with our existing customers and pulled back on new outreach. The book feels fine until the day it does not, and by then you have already lost ground you cannot easily recover. A shrinking book is not sustainable. Full stop. Your Action Plan If you are a sales leader: Reset the expectation now. Make it clear that prospecting for new logos is part of the job description, not optional. Put it in writing. Talk about it constantly. Fix your compensation structure. If you are paying higher on renewals than on new business, fix that. You are paying for the behavior you are getting. Run prospecting blocks with your team. Not near your team. With your team. Lead from the front. Give them the list. Stop expecting reps to research, target, and build their own outreach pipeline. That is a leadership function. Celebrate new logos loudly. Ring the bell. Make it a bigger deal than anything else you celebrate. If you are a sales rep: Do not wait for your leader to force you. The reps who prospect consistently, even when their book is comfortable, are the ones who build the most durable careers. Treat your book like a leaky bucket. Something is always draining out. Your job is to fill it back up, every single day. Pick up the phone. Calling strangers is uncomfortable. Do it anyway. That discomfort is exactly what separates average reps from elite ones. The message is simple. A book of business that is not growing is a book of business that is dying. This is who we are. This is what we do. We prospect, every day, without exception.

Send a textIn this PT Snacks episode, we walk through how to tell when “shoulder pain” might not actually be coming from the shoulder—and why that matters for safe, intentional screening in the clinic. We compare classic musculoskeletal patterns (pain tied to motion/loading and reproducible on exam) versus non-mechanical presentations like constant, poorly localized, deep/pressure-like pain that doesn't change with movement and may come with systemic or autonomic symptoms. Also covered are common non-musculoskeletal sources that can refer to the shoulder—pulmonary/thoracic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal/hepatic, and malignancy/systemic disease—plus practical questions and quick vitals-based triage you can blend into a normal eval. 00:00 Welcome to PT Snacks00:15 Why Non MSK Matters01:52 MSK vs Non MSK Clues03:56 Pulmonary Referral Patterns04:54 Cardiac Red Flags05:51 GI and Hepatic Sources06:34 Cancer and Systemic Causes07:27 Triage Questions and Screen09:12 When to Refer Urgently10:32 Wrap Up and ResourcesSupport the showNeed CEUs?

Napoleonica: Steel and Magic is a new high fantasy miniature wargame that reimagines the Napoleonic War with elements like Napoleon Bonaparte riding a Hippogriff. The miniatures are noted for their stunning, large-than-life resin casts from Signum Games. Mechanically, the game utilizes a system of drawing random Order Tokens and Maneuver Cards to activate units, which injects friction into army control reminiscent of games like *Memoir ’44*. Additionally, a bid for the Leader role determines the round’s intensity via an Escalation Card, which controls the number of Orders and Maneuver Cards drawn. En Garde is a forthcoming fast-paced, one-versus-one duelling game in the 54mm scale, set in a Low Fantasy world of swashbucklers and brigands. Conceived by John Blanche and Tuomas Pirinen, the game will feature hand-sculpted miniatures from artists like Paul Hicks, with an initial release via a crowdfunding campaign called Vanguard. The setting includes a twist with vampires being the “good guys,” and the core design aims to make duels dynamic and engaging beyond simple combat. The sunsetting of the BlackLibrary.com website and the Black Library Audio app will happen on August 31st. They are to be replaced by a single new Black Library app launching on March 18th that will feature an inbuilt eReader and MP3 player. Current account holders are urged to link their accounts and download older, unsupported content before the cutoff date. Community concerns are noted regarding the new app being a closed ecosystem with no integration for external eReaders or content from third-party sellers like Amazon and Audible, which ties into the ongoing DRM and “own versus license” debate among consumers. Asmodee made two major announcements, acquiring the Sheriff of Nottingham IP from CMON and striking a second deal with Netflix for Ticket to Ride. The Sheriff of Nottingham acquisition, following previous deals for CMON IPs like Zombicide, is attributed to CMON’s ongoing financial difficulties. Sheriff of Nottingham will join Asmodee’s Z-man studios. The Ticket to Ride deal with Netflix is similar to the Catan deal, granting a license for multiple shows or films. The first project will be a Ticket to Ride film, with Ben Mekler and Chris Amick attached to write the script. No premiere date has been set. Legitimate Salvage is a new game in the Forbidden Psalm line, a tabletop miniatures game about “corporate space horror” that is inspired by and compatible with the MÖRK BORG TTRPG. In the game, you control a crew of four working for the R&R company, whose business is rescuing people lost in space and who refuse to pay hazard pay unless someone dies, forcing your crew to work off their debt in the great uncaring void. The game features new mechanics, including debt, stress, and rules for zero gravity combat, alongside new monsters and equipment, all compatible with other Forbidden Psalm games like 28 Psalms and Killsampleprocess. #Napoleonica #EnGarde #BlackLibrary #Asmodee #legitimatesalvage Napoleonica: Steel and Magic Rules: https://signumgames.com/napoleonica-steel-and-magic Legitimate Salvage Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/impioussaint/legitimate-salvage-a-forbidden-psalm-sci-fi-game Dragonbane Trudvang: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/dragonbane-trudvang-the-legend-returns Fallout MEGA Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/L0aArV Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support us by Shopping at Miniature Market (afilliate link): https://miniature-market.sjv.io/K0yj7n Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/ http://www.rcharvey.com Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/
Most Cash-Based practice owners approach referral source networking the same way… They imply they'll "send patients" to the prospective new referral source, and they hint at a partnership that (if we're being honest) they can't actually sustain. Because if you're trying to build 10–20 referral relationships, you cannot send everyone patients. It's not realistic. And the physician/clinician knows it. So the real question isn't: "How do I get them to refer to me?" It's: How do I walk in with something that makes them glad they met me and makes them look good for sending patients my way later? If you want referrals that actually stick, you lead with value first, but that value is not simply the promise you'll try to send them patients as well. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why "I'll send you referrals" is the fastest way to sound like everyone else The simple "what's in it for them?" filter that makes referral relationships sustainable What not to do on the first visit (and why asking for referrals early backfires) How to use a simple one-page resource to earn trust and trigger referrals over time Why the fortune is in the follow-up, and how to actually stay consistent with it USEFUL INFORMATION: Check out our course: Cash-Based Practice Freedom 2.0

What does it take to close 230 purchase units in your first year as a loan originator? For Andy Beigel, it started with one obsession: practice. While every other LO chased refi money in 2020, Andy was cold-calling realtors on Zoom — building a purchase pipeline from scratch. By year-end, he had 230 units. By 2025, he had $93M in personal production and a $250M branch he built from zero in Columbus, Ohio. In this episode, Andy breaks down: → His word-for-word rate objection rebuttal → The first 30 seconds of every intake call (scripted — every time) → The 2-step realtor conversion process behind his book of business → The "positive feedback loop" secret that lets you delegate without losing agents → What he looks for in recruits (hint: not experience) → How a 22-year-old he hired now closes 125+ units a year. His philosophy: do 100 small things 1% better than everyone else, and you're 100% superior at game time.

The Protector (1985) was chosen by Greig, and it stands as one of the more unusual entries in Jackie Chan's filmography — an attempt to firmly break him into the American action market during the mid-1980s. Directed by James Glickenhaus and produced by Golden Harvest in collaboration with U.S. partners, the film was conceived as a tougher, more hard-edged vehicle than Chan's Hong Kong output. The production reflected a clear effort to reshape Chan's screen persona for Western audiences, emphasizing a grittier tone and more conventional cop-movie structure compared to the acrobatic, comedy-infused style that had made him famous in Asia.Filming took place across New York City and Hong Kong, giving the movie an international scope that was relatively ambitious for the time. However, creative differences emerged between Chan and the production team, particularly regarding tone and action style. Chan was reportedly unhappy with the film's direction and later took control of certain fight sequences for the Hong Kong release. Upon its theatrical debut, The Protector performed modestly but failed to fully launch Chan in the U.S. market as intended. In retrospect, the film is often viewed as an important transitional project — a fascinating snapshot of Hollywood's early attempts to package Jackie Chan for Western audiences before his eventual global breakthrough in the 1990s.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISOne city on the edge… one cop pushed too far… and one case that's about to explode across continents.When a routine investigation spirals into something far more dangerous, a hard-hitting detective finds himself pulled into a deadly world of crime, corruption, and international danger. Outgunned and outnumbered, he'll have to rely on his instincts, his fists, and sheer determination to finish the job.The Protector — justice doesn't ask nicely.FUN FACTSThe Protector was Jackie Chan's second major attempt to break into the U.S. film market during the 1980s.The film exists in multiple cuts, including a Hong Kong version that differs noticeably from the U.S. theatrical release.Jackie Chan later cited the movie as a learning experience that influenced how he approached future Hollywood projects.The movie features some of Chan's earliest English-language leading-role work in a U.S.-focused production.Many fans consider The Protector a curious hybrid between Hong Kong action cinema and 80s American cop thrillers.The film was released during a period when Hollywood was actively trying to import Hong Kong martial arts stars for Western audiences.Jackie Chan would not achieve major U.S. box office success until Rush Hour (1998) more than a decade later.The movie has developed a cult following among Jackie Chan completists, despite its mixed reception.Some action scenes were reworked for international versions, reflecting different market expectations.Today, The Protector is often discussed as an important stepping stone in Chan's long road to Hollywood stardom.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Have you ever spent hours building out referral programs only to hear crickets? You are not alone. In this episode of the Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch dives into why formal referral programs so often fail to produce results, even though referrals are one of the most powerful ways to grow your business. On paper, incentivizing people to send clients your way sounds smart and strategic. In reality, adding structure, tracking, and compensation can unintentionally shift referrals from something generous and relationship driven into something transactional and awkward. Sales conversations are emotional, and referrals are personal. When you attach money to them, the dynamic changes. Nikki unpacks three key reasons referral programs stall. They remove the generosity factor that makes referrals feel good. They accidentally turn your contacts into an unpaid sales team, adding pressure most people do not want. And they create extra work in the form of tracking and administration that can introduce friction. Instead of focusing on formal referral programs, Nikki encourages listeners to make referrals easy and relational. Get crystal clear on who you serve and the problem you solve so others can describe it in a sentence or two. Show genuine appreciation in ways that feel meaningful to the individual. And most importantly, nurture relationships long before you ever ask for a referral. Referrals thrive on connection, not commission. When you lead with clarity and gratitude, you create the kind of experience people naturally want to share. Nikki invites you to join the Sales Maven Society.

Have you considered how dramatically the rules of visibility, discovery, and referrals have shifted, and what that means for agency owners trying to grow sustainably? How then do you build authority, get discovered, and maintain thought-leadership in a world saturated with AI-generated noise? In this episode of The Agency Blueprint podcast, I'm joined by Tom Schwab to discuss one of the most important marketing shifts of our era: the move from traditional SEO to AI-driven discovery. Tom is the founder of Interview Valet, the leading podcast interview agency. He has been called the godfather of podcast interview marketing and is the author of the podcast Guest Profits. He's a frequent speaker and thought leader who challenges traditional marketing wisdom, arguing that today's rules are being truly rewritten by technology and that businesses aren't a funnel away, but one conversation away. Listen in to learn why today's business growth is less about funnels and keywords and more about authentic conversations that establish trust and credibility. You will also learn the importance of creating human-first podcast content that feeds AI algorithms and builds real relationships with potential clients. Key Questions: [01:30] How can agency owners ensure they are top-of-mind with trusted sources of recommendations in a world where AI is becoming a primary referral engine? [08:28] How can you optimize your content for AI-driven discovery without losing sight of serving the right clients? [25:22] Are you clear on your niche, your audience, and the measurable outcomes you want to achieve from podcast guesting? What You'll Discover: [02:02] How people now treat AI as a trusted partner and how that impacts referral dynamics. [05:56] Why SEO hacks no longer work and why authenticity, depth, and diversity of topics matter more to AI discovery. [08:48] Studies reveal AI-driven traffic converts nine times higher than SEO, thanks to AI's high-intent filtering. [12:23] How to build multiple deep content themes, not a single repetitive script, to maximize relevance in AI-driven discovery. [15:30] Tom on credibility: true experts can speak endlessly from lived experience, while pretenders run out of depth in minutes. [18:02] How effective marketing focuses on relationships with ideal clients, not mass outreach or automated efficiency. [22:25] Tom on the growing backlash against influencers and the return to authenticity, sustainability, and real relationships. [26:00] How to start podcast guesting with a clear niche, defined audience, and end goals in mind to maximize impact. [29:50] Understanding that smaller, niche-focused podcasts attract higher-quality clients and foster deeper relationships. Connect with Tom: WebsiteOffer
This week on The VHS Strikes Back, we dive into Erotic Ghost Story (1990), chosen by friend of the show John Hammond — a man clearly unafraid of wandering into the “back shelf” section of the video rental store. Directed by Lam Ngai Kai during the golden age of Hong Kong Category III cinema, this supernatural fantasy blends martial arts, folklore, horror and soft-focus seduction into one uniquely 90s experience.Released at a time when Hong Kong cinema was pushing boundaries with stylised ghost stories and adult-themed genre hybrids, Erotic Ghost Story arrived as part of a wave inspired by the success of films like A Chinese Ghost Story. With elaborate costumes, theatrical lighting, wire-work action and unapologetic late-night cable energy, this is exactly the kind of film you'd discover at 11:47pm with the volume turned suspiciously low. It's mystical. It's chaotic. It's extremely 1990.Trailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world… where fox spirits walk among us…Three beautiful spirits descend from the mountains with one mission: to experience mortal life. But when a power-hungry sorcerer discovers their presence, desire turns to danger… and temptation awakens forces beyond control.Magic will clash. Loyalties will be tested. Floorboards will creak ominously.This summer… seduction has a supernatural side.Erotic Ghost Story.You were watching it for the kung fu.Fun FactsErotic Ghost Story was released in 1990 during the boom of Hong Kong Category III cinema, the local rating equivalent of adults-only material.The film blends Chinese folklore about fox spirits (huli jing) with martial arts choreography and supernatural horror.Director Lam Ngai Kai became known for stylised fantasy films that leaned heavily into theatrical lighting and elaborate costume design.The movie was part of a wave of sensual supernatural films following the commercial success of romantic fantasy ghost stories in late-80s Hong Kong cinema.Practical wire-work and in-camera effects were used for levitation and fight sequences — no CGI safety net here.The English export title was intentionally provocative to help the film stand out in international VHS markets.Category III films often relied on strong box office from late-night screenings and overseas rental sales.The combination of eroticism and traditional mythology made the film controversial but commercially viable at the time.The film developed a cult following among collectors of 90s Hong Kong fantasy cinema.Its blend of supernatural themes and martial arts action makes it a frequent inclusion in “so-bad-it's-fascinating” VHS-era discussions.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Feb. 18, 2026 In this week's NARPM podcast episode, host Pete Neubig interviews Trent Bray, who trains Business Development Managers (BDMs) for Property Management Inc. (PMI) franchise partners on the sales process. Bray advises new owners to wait until they are near the break-even point to hire their first BDM, arguing they should first understand the sales process themselves. He emphasizes that property management is a relationship-driven, referral-based business and prefers hiring a salesperson over a marketer to build these networks. Bray suggests BDMs build relationships with real estate agents using platforms like LinkedIn to warm up the connection before in-person meetings, and also recommends networking with mortgage brokers (not lenders) as a secondary, investor-focused referral source.

1,097 applications in three days for a single VP-level role. Today's hiring strategy is overwhelmed by volume, automation, and noise. AI-powered recruiting tools are filtering resumes while candidates use AI to optimize applications, creating a talent acquisition process that feels increasingly impersonal and inefficient. In this episode, Sean Barnes breaks down why the modern recruiting and interview process is broken and what executive leaders, HR professionals, and hiring managers must do to fix it. You'll learn practical hiring best practices for building high-performance teams, improving candidate experience, and strengthening your talent pipeline through trust, referrals, and strategic networking. If you are responsible for talent acquisition, executive hiring, or leadership recruitment, this episode offers a smarter framework for attracting top talent and reducing friction in your hiring process. Key Moments 00:00 - 1,097 applications in three days: what that says about the hiring market 01:00 - AI on both sides: resume parsing vs AI-tailored applications 02:15 - Principle #1: Trust is king in hiring 04:00 - Principle #2: Everyone's network counts, not just HR 06:00 - Principle #3: Why you should reward employee referrals 08:00 - Principle #4: Remove friction from your hiring process 10:30 - Principle #5: Know when to stop interviewing 12:00 - Closing thoughts: building an experience that attracts top talent Key Takeaways The volume of applications does not equal quality hiring. AI has made hiring more efficient but also more impersonal and noisy. Warm introductions dramatically increase trust and probability of fit. Every leader's network should serve the organization, not just themselves. Referral programs save time, money, and recruiting friction. Overly long interview processes repel high performers. After three to four strong interviews, additional rounds create diminishing returns. Respecting candidate time builds the foundation for long-term trust.

Most business owners are barely scratching the surface of AI — and it's costing them speed, clarity, and competitive advantage. If you're using AI to: "Write me an email." "Create 5 social posts." "Give me some ideas." You're driving a Ferrari at 25 mph. In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy Howard break down how to stop using AI like a search engine and start using it like a strategic execution partner. This is not about better prompts. It's about Prompt Stacking — the method that turns AI into your marketing department, project manager, operations assistant, and execution engine.

Growth marketing was built on continuous improvement — experiment, optimize, compound. But for many brand leaders today, growth no longer feels like it's compounding. Despite more data, more tools, and more optimization than ever before, ROI is slipping and hitting growth targets is getting harder. That's not a discipline problem. It's a growth marketing model problem. In this pillar episode, I break down why the traditional growth marketing model — including the AARRR framework (Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Referral, Revenue) — is no longer optimized for how modern consumers make decisions. Built for scale and efficiency in a general-market era, these models struggle in today's fragmented, identity-driven landscape. Drawing on insights from the American Marketing Association and a conversation with Bennie F. Johnson, this episode explores: Why growth marketing optimization is breaking down despite best practices How scale without intention creates friction across the funnel Where identity friction shows up across Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, Retention, and Revenue Why relevance — not reach alone — is now critical to sustainable growth How an identity-layered approach helps growth compound again This episode focuses on diagnosing why growth marketing stopped compounding — not tactical fixes, but how the underlying model needs to evolve to reflect how people actually make decisions today. If growth feels harder than it should, this episode explains why — and sets the foundation for what modern growth marketing requires now.
