Every time you ask ChatGPT or Claude for a recommendation, you're training it to know you better, and that changes everything about how customers find your business. My guest this week is Vivienne Wagner, founder and CEO of Houndstooth Media Group, and she's built her entire practice around helping business owners get recommended by AI the same way you'd ask a friend "who should I call for this?" We get into why clarity beats volume, how Google Business Profile reviews are quietly becoming AI training data, and why a bridal shop's "ultimate guide to summer weddings" outperformed anything her competitor across the street was doing. If you've been wondering why some businesses seem to show up in every AI conversation about their industry while others are invisible, this episode breaks down exactly what's happening behind the scenes. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/636 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

If you're a coach, therapist, or transformational practitioner, referrals are almost certainly sitting inside your business right now, waiting to be activated. And fair warning: this episode might challenge a few assumptions you've been quietly making about why they're not showing up more. Because one of the most common gaps I see in genuinely excellent practitioners isn't a lack of skill. It's not knowing how to ask, and unconsciously operating from beliefs about referrals that quietly work against the results you're capable of generating. In this episode, I'm walking through the mistakes I see most often when it comes to referral marketing, and exactly what to do instead, so you can start bringing in ideal-fit clients who already trust you before they ever get on a call with you. In this episode we cover: -Why referrals are still the cheapest, warmest, and most effective way to grow a coaching or transformational business, especially right now -The real reason so many coaches don't ask for referrals, and it's rarely the reason you think -Writing referral outreach that sounds like you, not a sales script -What actually makes a coach or practitioner "referral-worthy," and why it's deeper than most marketing advice tells you -How to build a simple, repeatable referral system instead of a one-time push -How to create referral events that bring in ideal clients, even if your network feels small -Why your skill and your outreach both matter, and how to grow both at once This is a really important episode heading into a season where trust is harder to earn than ever. I cannot wait for you to listen.

Patient education is one of the most important—and often overlooked—skills developed in dental hygiene school. Dental hygienists will find themselves explaining periodontal disease, treatment recommendations, and providing informed consent in a way patients can understand multiple times a day. Dana breaks down how classroom concepts connect directly to patient care, why treatment acceptance depends on clear communication, and how practicing education conversations in clinic strengthens both your confidence and your clinical knowledge.

Maya Moghadam is an interior designer and entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience spanning high-end residential, hospitality, commercial, and healthcare projects. After building her first company in Iran at age 24, Maya moved to the United States to earn her second master's degree at SCAD and later launched Maya's Design Studio. Her approach centers on educating clients, leading with service, and building relationships that turn into long-term referrals. On this episode we talk about: How Maya's early exposure to art, architecture, and hands-on materials shaped her interior design career Why she left an established business in Iran to pursue a second master's degree in the United States The transition from employee to business owner—and why clients encouraged her to start her own studio How educating clients instead of pressuring them to buy creates stronger sales and repeat business Building a design firm that works across residential, hospitality, commercial, healthcare, and senior-living projects The immigrant entrepreneur mindset, overcoming assumptions, and creating professional connections from scratch Why thoughtful interior design can support functionality, well-being, and mental health Top 3 Takeaways Sell through service, not pressure. Maya's client-first process starts with learning how someone lives and what they need—not with pushing the most expensive product. That trust creates referrals that can last for years. Your broad experience can become your differentiator. Rather than limiting her firm to one design niche, Maya combines experience across hospitality, healthcare, commercial, and residential work to offer a more versatile perspective. Relationships outlast transactions. Clients may forget a name or a particular purchase, but they remember how you made them feel. Being transparent, accountable, and genuinely helpful creates durable business relationships. Notable Quotes “I don't want to sell the item. I want to completely [make sure] they understand what they pick and what's the reason.” “I'm going to spend exactly the same amount of time for someone who wants to purchase a whole home or just one small piece of five hundred dollars.” “People remember when they feel trust and [you] be genuine and transparent.” “We live ninety percent of our time indoors. It matters how is our environment.” Connect with Maya Moghadam: Website: https://mayasdesignstudio.com/ — book a complimentary consultation Other: Follow Maya's Design Studio for interior-design education, project insights, and design services A Word from Our Sponsors: - Go to Leesa.com for 25% OFF select mattresses (through August 23, 2026) PLUS get an extra $50 off with promo code TMM, exclusive for my listeners  - The most successful business owners don't do it all themselves — they delegate.

Amber talks about struggling to graduate high school and teaching herself algebra while being a mom to get into dental hygiene school. Her journey was not easy, yet she has fostered a thriving career in dental hygiene, inspiring others to do the same.Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Curaprox.

Chosen by Maff, directed and co-written by Sammo Hung, Wheels on Meals was a Hong Kong–Spanish co-production from Golden Harvest and Laurenfilm, filmed extensively on location around Barcelona and Tarragona. Reliable published budget figures are difficult to verify, but the international production gave the film a distinctive scale and sun-drenched European setting rarely seen in Hong Kong action cinema at the time. Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung reunited as the leading trio, supported by Spanish actress Lola Forner and American martial artists Benny “The Jet” Urquidez and Keith Vitali.Released in Hong Kong on 17 August 1984, the film became one of the territory's highest-grossing local releases of the year. Its combination of acrobatic stunt work, broad comedy and carefully staged martial-arts action helped establish it as a favourite of the VHS generation. Decades later, Wheels on Meals remains celebrated for the chemistry between its three stars and for delivering fight choreography clearly enough that viewers can actually see what is happening—an increasingly revolutionary concept.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the sun-soaked streets of Barcelona, two cousins have the perfect business: fast food, four wheels and absolutely no regard for workplace health and safety.But when a mysterious young pickpocket crosses their path, Thomas and David are dragged into a dangerous plot involving ruthless criminals, a missing inheritance and one remarkably questionable private detective.This time, the meals are fast. The fists are faster. And somewhere in Spain, an insurance company is quietly refusing to cover any of it.FUN FACTSThe film's original English title was reportedly Meals on Wheels, but Golden Harvest reversed the words after two previous company releases beginning with the letter “M” performed poorly.In Japan, the film was released under the title Spartan X.Jackie Chan also supervised the film's action choreography.Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao had all trained together as members of the Seven Little Fortunes at the China Drama Academy.Lola Forner had previously represented Spain at the Miss World competition.Benny Urquidez was a highly successful professional kickboxer nicknamed “The Jet.”Chan and Urquidez's confrontation is frequently ranked by martial-arts cinema fans among Jackie Chan's finest screen fights.Keith Vitali reportedly struck Jackie Chan in the throat accidentally while filming one of their fight sequences.The catering van used by Thomas and David is fitted with hidden compartments, electronic gadgets and enough custom equipment to make it the kung-fu equivalent of the Batmobile.The three leading men later reunited for another major Hong Kong action comedy, Dragons Forever, released in 1988.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dave Charest. Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, shared practical advice for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and startup founders on marketing, customer engagement, business growth, and the future of AI in marketing. Drawing from his experience helping small businesses worldwide, Charest explained why entrepreneurship is booming, how businesses can effectively market themselves with limited budgets, and why building direct customer relationships through email marketing remains one of the most valuable assets a company can own. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Explain why more people are starting businesses and pursuing entrepreneurship. Educate business owners on effective marketing strategies. Highlight the advantages of email marketing over relying solely on social media. Discuss common mistakes made by new entrepreneurs. Help small businesses understand how to build customer relationships. Explore how AI is transforming marketing and business operations. Provide actionable guidance for growing a brand through consistency and community engagement. Key Takeaways 1. Entrepreneurship Continues to Grow According to Charest, people are increasingly motivated to start businesses because they want: Greater independence Better control over their schedules Increased financial potential Many entrepreneurs are turning side hustles into full-time businesses and pursuing ownership rather than traditional employment. 2. Email Marketing Is More Valuable Than Most Entrepreneurs Realize One of the strongest themes of the interview is the importance of owning your audience. While social media platforms can help businesses attract attention, email marketing provides direct access to customers without relying on platform algorithms. Charest encourages entrepreneurs to use social media as a discovery tool but move customers into channels they control, such as email and text messaging. 3. The Real Asset Is the Relationship Businesses that own customer contact information have a direct connection that cannot be disrupted by changes in social media platforms. Unlike followers on a social network, email subscribers have chosen to hear from a business directly. The stronger the relationship, the greater the opportunity for future sales and engagement. 4. Small Lists Can Produce Big Results Charest challenges the belief that businesses need massive audiences to succeed. A small, engaged audience often produces better results than a large, passive following. For many local businesses, quality relationships matter more than audience size. 5. Consistency Beats Perfection When marketing a business, consistency is more important than trying every available platform. Business owners should: Choose channels they can maintain consistently. Show up regularly. Stay visible to customers. Build trust through repetition and reliability. His message is simple: people can't buy from businesses they forget about. 6. New Entrepreneurs Often Try to Do Too Much One of the most common mistakes startups make is attempting to launch every marketing tactic simultaneously. Charest recommends: Starting small. Building a solid foundation. Creating manageable marketing habits. Avoiding unrealistic expectations. Businesses grow more effectively when they focus on a few activities and execute them well. 7. Community Matters Successful local businesses build relationships beyond customers. Charest emphasized the importance of connecting with: Other local businesses Community organizations Referral partners Customers in person Strong community connections often become a business's most reliable growth engine. 8. Choose Marketing Channels That Fit Your Strengths Different social platforms serve different purposes. Rather than chasing every trend, entrepreneurs should focus on: Where their audience spends time What content they naturally enjoy creating Which platforms they can use consistently A sustainable strategy beats an ambitious one that is quickly abandoned. 9. Marketing Is About Staying Top of Mind Charest defines marketing in a straightforward way: Businesses need to remain visible so customers think of them first when they need a product or service. The more consistently a company appears in front of its audience, the stronger its brand becomes. 10. AI Is Becoming a Powerful Marketing Tool Charest views AI as a major opportunity for small businesses. He discussed how AI can help: Generate marketing content Create email campaigns Build marketing plans Repurpose content across multiple channels Analyze customer behavior Identify new opportunities Rather than replacing entrepreneurs, AI allows them to save time and make smarter decisions. 11. Business Owners Must Continue Learning Technology and marketing are evolving rapidly. Charest advises entrepreneurs to stay informed and remain open to new tools and trends, even if they do not adopt every new technology immediately. The key is to remain adaptable and avoid being left behind. Memorable Quotes "People are determined to become their own bosses." "Our mission is to help the small stand tall." "The money is in the list." "Your goal should always be trying to move those people to channels that you own." "The relationships you build with customers are always going to be your most valuable asset." "You don't really need the big numbers." "Start small." "Consistency is the big thing that makes marketing work." "Marketing at its simplest level is about keeping your business top of mind." "Small business owners are resilient." "There isn't a Plan B. Plan A is to own this business." "AI can save time so you can get back to the things you'd rather be doing." Bottom Line Dave Charest's interview is a practical playbook for entrepreneurs looking to grow a business in a crowded digital marketplace. His core message is that successful marketing is not about chasing every trend or building massive social media followings. Instead, businesses win by building genuine relationships, creating direct connections with customers through email and text marketing, staying consistent, embracing new technology like AI, and becoming a trusted part of their community. For entrepreneurs seeking sustainable growth, Charest advocates focusing on ownership, relationships, and long-term customer engagement.

Title: The 30-Day Challenge That Changed Their Referral Game Host: Michael J. Maher Guests: Joey Calvin and Rob Howard Description:   What happens when two highly committed Realtors enter a 30-day challenge, support each other instead of competing, and decide to go all in? In this episode, Michael sits down with SummerFest Challenge co-winners Joey Calvin and Rob Howard to unpack exactly what helped them rise to the top. They share how blocking off time, creating daily rituals, scheduling meaningful one-on-one conversations, improving follow-up, and staying accountable helped them build momentum throughout the challenge. Joey reveals how his intentional networking resulted in 12 referrals given, 7 referrals received, and three active opportunities, while Rob shares how daily lunches, relationship-building conversations, and simple social media questions generated surprising engagement and new business possibilities. They also talk about the power of the Generosity Generation community, why they chose collaboration over competition, and how committing to a 30-day challenge can create changes that last far beyond the challenge itself. Plus, Joey shares the story behind his new book, The Advantage of Quietly Giving More: How Thoughtful Service Creates Momentum, and Rob discusses the very different books he has written—including a real estate guide and a Knoxville-based murder mystery. If you've been waiting for the perfect time to become more intentional about your relationships, referrals, and daily habits, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the biggest results begin with simply deciding to commit. (7L) Referral Strategies:   Schedule people, not just tasks. Block dedicated time for relationship-building activities. Create consistent morning and evening rituals. Make intentional one-on-one connections. Follow up after conversations. Give referrals generously. Use simple social media questions to create engagement and conversation. Find accountability inside a community that encourages implementation.

Histology and embryology are often among students' least favorite classes in dental hygiene school, and many struggle to recognize the relevance they have in dental hygiene. As providers who treat disease, dental hygienists must thoroughly understand the development and function of the body's tissues. Dana shares a basic explanation of cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems in a practical, easy-to-follow way, helping to connect these concepts to the material in head and neck anatomy, oral pathology, pharmacology, and clinical care. Before memorizing details, make sure to focus on understanding the progression from cells to tissues to organs. That framework can make future coursework, board exam preparation, and clinical concepts much easier to understand.

You've gotta be boots on the ground, doing it yourself first before you build out a team to help you sell. He needed to be the one selling, partnering, and figuring out the messaging before scaling the team.This episode of How We Got There, I am joined by Josh Koshy who is the VP of Sales at Appiphony. If you aren't aware of Appiphony, they are both a top PDO and an ISV after launching their first app a few years ago with Josh at the helm of GTM the whole time. Josh shares lessons learned from their own journey of building their own ISV, which they also bring to their projects on the PDO side where they are building apps for other companies on the AppExchange….mostly around GTM. Drive Connect was their initial product and now it's more of a suite of apps, including doc gen with esignature and storage of files in Salesforce from Google and Sharepoint. Their listings are excellent ones to check out on the AppExchange.Founders and admins tend to stumble onto your listing on the AppExchange, but larger deals come from motions outside of the AppExchange. Partnerships have really been a force multiplier that Josh and team have been leaning in, specifically SI partners. Now most qualified leads come from that channel, about half of their revenue comes from partners - SIs, resellers, and Salesforce. Their largest deals tend to come from Salesforce AE/SE referrals, even if the volume of deals is smaller than from SIs.Referral partnerships via SI partners is hard work to start but then gets easier as trust builds across successful projects. Some care about adding a competitive advantage with the ISV's solution set, some value referral fees, and some value footing the bill for Salesforce AE-focused events by helping the SIs stay in front of their Salesforce counterparts. A really unique approach that makes sense!One thing they overinvested in early was sponsoring events without a fully built out sales and marketing team, so the lesson learned here is perhaps waiting a bit longer before getting booths at those types of events. Josh and his team is an example for ISVs to learn from. He brings a beginner's mind to all of the gtm motions and is always willing to meet and share at events, make sure you say hi to him as you run into him at DreamforceThis episode is brought to you by ⁠ISV Accelerators⁠. ISV Accelerators is your inside guide to co-selling with Salesforce: activating the right reps, accelerating real pipeline, uncovering new revenue, and closing more deals together. Senior alliances leadership without the cost of a full-time hire, and speed to answers on whether that hire is even worth making.

Welcome to the first Monday Marketing Tip of the series. If you've ever asked "how do I get residents" or "how do I get good staff," Tiffany's got a reframe for you: both of those questions are really the same question. They're both marketing.In this episode, Tiffany breaks down the four audiences every senior living owner and operator is marketing to, whether they realize it or not: future staff, caregiving families, future residents, and referral sources. She walks through a real story about an executive director who turned holiday gestures into a culture staff didn't want to leave, and gives you a simple four-column exercise to run this week to define exactly why someone should choose you.What you'll learn:Why hiring and occupancy are both marketing problems, not separate departmentsHow to identify your differentiating factor for four distinct audiencesA real example of culture-building that cost almost nothing and meant everythingThe three-part messaging framework: why, execution, and what it means to themThis week's homework: the four-column exercise you can start todayTry this week: Grab a sheet of paper.

Richard Epstein critiques the contempt of Congress referral against Dr. Anthony Fauci, arguing Fauci made "egregious mistakes" regarding pandemic regulations like masking and social distancing. Epstein contends Fauci was a "lousy scientist" who suppressed alternative treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. He also questions the validity of a "preemptive pardon" issued by President Biden, suggesting it may relate to illegal virus shipments to the Wuhanlaboratory. Moving to politics, Epstein lambasts the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for their goal of dismantling the U.S. government and their admiration for failed states like Venezuela. He highlights the impracticality of Zohran Mamdani's programs in New York, such as rent stabilization and subsidized grocery stores, predicting they will eventually crater due to economic reality.

Book the podcast. Do the interview. Move on to the next one. That's the default playbook for most podcast guests — and according to this week's guest, it's leaving most of the value on the table. Dustin Riechmann, founder and CEO of 7 Figure Leap, and host the the 7 Figure Leap Podcast, has spent the last four years helping coaches, consultants, and agency owners turn podcast guesting into a genuine growth engine — not just a lead-gen tactic. His argument: in a "trust recession" flooded with AI content and social media noise, the real currency isn't reach, it's trust. And trust, done right, scales. Peter and Dustin dig into what that actually looks like in practice. It starts with borrowing trust — the audience a host has spent years building extends some of that credibility to any guest who shows up and delivers. But the bigger opportunity, Dustin argues, is what happens after the mic turns off: the relationship with the host, the access to a guest list full of potential referral partners, and the content that can be repurposed for months. That's where the conversation turns pointed. Peter shares a stat that should make every podcast guest wince: only about 60% of guests actually share their episode after it airs, despite the host doing the legwork to book, produce, and promote it. Dustin calls it a strategic blunder as much as a hygiene issue — because the guests who do the simple things (leave a review, share the episode once, say thank you) become the ones hosts refer business to. The two also unpack the difference between hiring a podcast booking agency to check a box and building a deliberate, relationship-first guesting strategy — and why one podcast a week, done with intention, can outperform a hundred done without it. If you've ever wondered why some guests turn a single appearance into years of referrals while others get nothing out of dozens of interviews, this episode lays out exactly what separates the two. Three Key Takeaways: • Trust is the new currency, and it scales through borrowing. In a noisy, AI-saturated market, audiences no longer take credibility at face value — appearing on a trusted host's platform lets guests borrow that trust instantly, then build their own with the audience over time. • Sharing your episode isn't optional, it's strategic. Roughly 40% of guests never promote the interviews they're given, and that gap is exactly what separates a forgettable guest from the one a host refers to future opportunities. • The real ROI is relational, not transactional. A single interview compounds into referral partnerships, guest-list networks, and repurposable content — but only for guests who treat the host relationship as a two-way investment rather than a 20-minute box to check. Every guest on this show has wrestled with the same question: how do you turn deep expertise into lasting influence, not just a moment of visibility? That question is exactly what The Thought Leadership Handbook answers. Bill Sherman, Peter Winick, and Naren Aryal distilled patterns from more than 700 conversations on this very podcast into practical frameworks for building a body of work that scales — covering everything from your core ideas to the platform that carries them. If you're ready to move from insight to real impact, this is the field guide. Learn more and order your copy at thoughtleadershiphandbook.com.

Ash welcomes Dr. Dave Rominski of the Doctor Referral Institute to discuss how dentists may be missing a huge amount of profit and the ability to have a more sustainable business. They talk about a common challenge many dentists face: having a packed schedule without seeing that busyness translate into greater profitability, and why it can change your practice by having intentional referral relationships.

Chosen by Dylan, Once Were Warriors was adapted from Alan Duff's bestselling 1990 novel by screenwriter Riwia Brown. Made for approximately NZ$2 million and filmed over a demanding six-week shoot, it marked the feature-directing debut of Lee Tamahori. Much of the production took place around Ōtara in South Auckland, grounding the film's urban Māori setting in real locations rather than a carefully polished studio version of New Zealand. Rena Owen and Temuera Morrison lead the cast as Beth and Jake Heke, supported by Julian Arahanga, Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell, Taungaroa Emile and Cliff Curtis.The film became a major domestic success, earning approximately NZ$6.7 million and setting a new record at the New Zealand box office. It swept nine categories at the 1994 New Zealand Film Awards and collected further honours at festivals including Montreal, Durban, Venice and Rotterdam. Its international acclaim launched Tamahori towards Hollywood and helped raise the global profiles of Owen, Morrison and Curtis. More than three decades later, it remains one of New Zealand cinema's most influential, confronting and difficult-to-forget films. Definitely not one to throw on when the family asks for “something light.”TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the streets of South Auckland… one family is fighting a war that nobody outside their home can see.Beth Heke dreams of holding her family together. But her husband Jake is a man of charm, pride and explosive rage—and when the drinking starts, their home becomes a battleground.As their children search for belonging in gangs, institutions and the traditions of their ancestors, Beth must rediscover the strength of the people she came from. This time… being a warrior means knowing what is worth fighting for.FUN FACTSOnce Were Warriors opened in only four New Zealand cinemas, yet still earned a record-breaking NZ$114,000 during its opening run.The house used as the Heke family home was a real state house on O'Connor Street in Ōtara.Local residents reportedly complained about the noise generated while the production filmed the Hekes' late-night parties.Producer Robin Scholes had previously worked mainly in television; this became the first feature released by Communicado Productions.Stuart Dryburgh's cinematography helped him build an international career that later included The Piano, The Painted Veil and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.Temuera Morrison later became internationally recognised as Jango Fett and the clone troopers in the Star Wars franchise.Rena Owen also joined the Star Wars universe, appearing in Attack of the Clones and providing additional voices for the film.Cliff Curtis has portrayed characters from numerous ethnic backgrounds throughout his career, but Once Were Warriors gave him one of his earliest major New Zealand film roles.A sequel, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?, arrived in 1999, with Morrison and several other cast members returning.A twentieth-anniversary documentary, Once Were the Cast of Warriors, reunited members of the cast in 2014 to examine the film's impact and what happened after its release.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. I don't know where the universe or the volcanic activity that regulates this is, but when I have 12, I get no leads. When I have 36 or 48, leads, the quality of them goes down. Somewhere in that bubble of 24, and here's what I think, I think it's because I stay in touch with them, their frequent dinner or networking people, I see them on a regular basis, we tend to talk a lot, we tend to have deep conversations, something pops. So if you don't have 24 referrers, set that as a goal. If you could look and say, all right, so how many accountants, how many attorneys, how many realtors, how many business brokers, how many private equity funds? Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Title: The Referral Strategies You Missed in (7L) Host: Michael J. Maher Guests: Karla Roberdeau and Thommy Sandvick Description: Some of the most powerful strategies in The Seven Levels of Communication are hiding in plain sight. In this special recording from the final session of (7L) Mastery class, Michael J. Maher joins Coach Karla and Coach Thommy to unpack the referral strategies, relationship-building techniques, and business lessons readers often miss the first time through the book. Michael reveals how the opening chapters of (7L) can serve as a practical networking playbook, including the "Am I the Chosen One?" approach, the Triangle of Trust, strategic introductions, and ways to leverage past-client relationships to create new opportunities. You will also discover how to avoid being pigeonholed into offering only one service by creating a "Spectrum of Solutions"—a simple one-page resource that helps referral partners understand every way you can serve the people they know. The group also explores the importance of consistency, time blocking, appreciation, venue partnerships, educational events, and using memorable language triggers—such as the "D's of Real Estate"—to help people recognize referral opportunities. Along the way, participants share real-world wins, including a relationship with a future top-producing agent, a successful referral generated through the C3PO strategy, quarterly partnerships created through venue appreciation, and a military celebration of life successfully organized for 140 guests using Michael's event-planning system. This episode is filled with practical ideas you can implement immediately to deepen relationships, communicate your value, host better events, and generate more referrals. Oh, and Michael reveals the thought process behind how he named all of the characters in the book! (7L) Referral Strategies: - Spectrum of Solutions - Use the "Am I the Chosen One?" approach - Triangle of Trust - Send the appreciation text - Appreciate event venues and vendors to create lasting partnerships and future opportunities - Time-block referral activities Special Offer: Ready to turn your best intentions into a schedule that creates consistent results? Join Michael, Coach Karla, and Neil Smith for the upcoming Time Mastery class at TimeMasteryClass.com.

Can a referral strategy continue to deliver results years after you first learn it?   Recently, I caught up with one of my alumni clients, attorney Katherine Taylor. After working together, she went from averaging just 12 referrals a year to consistently generating 65-85 referrals annually.   Learn what helped make referrals a sustainable part of her firm and how those systems have continued to serve her firm years after our active work together ended.   We also discuss why human connection matters more than ever in a business world increasingly influenced by social media, AI, and online communication.   Resources and links mentioned in this episode can be found on the show notes page at http://www.staceybrownrandall.com/425

Whether you like it or not...AI search is the way clients are finding professional organizers now. In this episode, Melissa breaks down three specific client categories that are showing up more and more in professional organizing, and why getting specific about them (on dedicated web pages, not buried in generic copy) is the key to being found by the people who need you most. Melissa covers women with ADHD and neurodivergence, women on GLP-1 medications, and women in perimenopause or menopause — what each group actually needs, the language they use to describe their struggles, and exactly how to structure your website, FAQs, and content so that both Google and AI search tools connect them to you.

Top-performing dental hygiene students don't often get there by relying on natural intelligence- it has more to do with how they approach learning. In this episode, Dana breaks down the habits and mindset shifts commonly seen in successful dental hygiene students- from previewing material before class and using active recall to seeking feedback, setting clinical goals, and reflecting on mistakes without letting them define their progress. Whether you're struggling to keep up, questioning your abilities, or simply looking for more effective study strategies, this conversation offers practical guidance rooted in real-world experience. You'll walk away with actionable ways to improve your study habits, strengthen your clinical performance, and build the resilience needed to navigate dental hygiene school and beyond.

Mary and Andrew begin this week by addressing the Department of Justice dropping the subpoenas they ordered against New York Times journalists who reported on security concerns regarding President Trump's new Qatari-government-gifted Air Force One jet, noting that the attempt to subpoena the writers speaks to a failed effort of “chilling and intimidating” other reporters. But still, there were even more subpoenas: last week, the DOJ filed subpoenas for 14 major law firms as part of an ongoing lawsuit between the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Executive Office of the President, which Mary and Andrew believe is an effort by the government to try and “get the law firms to pressure the ABA to drop this lawsuit.” They also touch on an update to journalist Katie Phang's lawsuit against the federal government over Epstein files redactions and address Jack Smith's criminal referral by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan. Plus, two immigration-related cases: a judge's decision to throw out a DOJ lawsuit challenging Minnesota immigration laws and an appeal court's decision to reverse a lower court decision releasing Pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi.

Cue the vindictive prosecution motion that Jack Smith will file should he be indicted on the phony charges of “lying to Congress” when he told the truth about which records of members of Congress his prosecution team reviewed to make their case against Trump for criminal interference with the 2020 election results. Popok explains that the House Judiciary Committee MAGA have sent to an ethically conflicted Todd Blanche a bad-faith criminal referral of Smith to both satisfy Trump's revenge lust AND to help Blanche get confirmed as Attorney General.
