In this Age of Distraction, we've got seconds to win our audience's attention—or lose it. When we're unclear, rambling, blathering or long-winded, the audience bolts for their phones. If we're not concise and clear, there's zero chance of being persuasive, because no one is listening. That's why structure and delivery matter more than ever. We often dive too deep into our subject and forget the audience hasn't followed the same path. That's where the trouble starts. We confuse them, and they mentally check out. We need to set the topic clearly and grab their attention fast. The opening must be dynamite—wake them up, spark interest, and demand attention. Then we break the content into five-minute chunks. Each block needs a switch—a story, visual, quote, or killer question—to re-engage. Every point we make must come with proof: data, examples, evidence. Don't just say it—back it up.  Data needs stories and stories need data. The structure must flow logically. Choose a formula—chronological, thematic, problem-solution-result—and stick to it. Use verbal bridges between sections to guide the audience. “We've looked at X, now let's move to Y.” Without these guideposts, listeners can get lost and mentally leave you. Timing is our best friend. Rehearsing with a stopwatch forces us to refine our message. We learn to trim fat, sharpen our language, and focus only on what matters. That's how we avoid running over and skipping key points. We all hate the presenter who rushes through thirty slides in two minutes because they have lost control of the time. We end powerfully—with two closes. One before the Q&A to hammer home our message, and a final close that leaves them with a resonant takeaway. If we want to be persuasive, we must be sharp, structured, and intentional. Let's drop the fluff, build flow, and craft messages people actually remember and can act on

Sometimes it is easy to stay stuck in the past ruminating over things that have happened that may be painful or hurtful. The problem with this is that it keeps you from ever being victorious over the past. Healing begins when we choose to stop rehearsing the pain and choose to start reversing the pain. Dr. Brenda Caldwell, aka Dr. B, shares how to do so in episode 115. The HOPE Zone...where there's HOPE for every situation!

This episode is different. It is personal.Because for the first time, I will be sharing something I have not yet spoken about publicly.My father passed away this March. Just two days before my birthday.And in the weeks that followed, I gave myself permission to fully grieve, to feel, to remember, to process.It was a conscious act of mourning, supported by ceremony, solitude, and also by ketamine therapy, medically supervised at our clinic in Santa Monica.It helped me meet the waves of grief and let them move through me, not around me.And in that space, I kept returning to one question: Why, in our culture, is death treated as something to avoid, deny, or sanitize?Why is something so universal, so sacred, still held in so much fear?Today's guest has devoted her entire life to shifting that.Barbara Karnes is a hospice pioneer and one of the most respected voices in end-of-life education.Her booklet Gone From My Sight, known as The Little Blue Book, has sold over 40 million copies and changed how countless families understand and approach death.In this conversation, Barbara offers profound wisdom: she offers a map, a presence, a way of holding death that allows us to also hold life more fully.This is much more than a conversation about dying. It is a conversation about what it means to live without fear, and to love more openly, even at the edge of goodbye.Episode highlights:02:45 Ariana's Personal Story of Grief and Healing05:29 Understanding the Dying Process10:40 The Role of Caregivers and Cultural Myths About Dying21:51 The Emotional and Spiritual Costs of Caregiving31:36 The Role of the Witness in the Dying Process33:04 Creating a Sacred Experience Before Death34:08 Saying Goodbye and Processing Grief42:16 The Importance of Personal Choice in End-of-Life Care44:44 Cultural Perspectives on Death and Aging52:32 Rehearsing for Death Through Life's Changes54:25 Barbara's Personal Relationship with Death56:22 Understanding Grief as Part of the Dying Process01:02:39 Barbara's Legacy and ResourcesResources mentioned:https://bkbooks.com/pages/about-barbarahttps://bkbooks.com/collections/allSOCIAL MEDIALinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbarakarnesrnInstagram https://www.instagram.com/barbarakarnesrnFacebook https://www.facebook.com/barbarakarnesrnYouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXVqIQdyP2OBTop8-jboRww

At some point, you've probably felt like you were living in some strange alternate version of your life. Maybe it was after a tragedy as dramatic as a stroke. Perhaps it was something as mundane as realizing you're middle aged. We desperately want to find our way back to the way life used to be, but it turns out that version of life is beyond our reach. So what are our options here? We can keep longing for what was—unsatisfied, absent, and stuck. Or we can learn to love the “new normal” in front of us. Yeah, I like that option.Today I'm joined by my wise and wonderful friend Susan Robinson to uncover how we can learn to love the lives we never imagined living.I loved this conversation so much.

What comes to mind when you think about retiring? Is it enjoying your "golden years?" That's an outdated approach, says today's guest Dean Jackson! He joins host Brian Skrobonja to discuss a new way to think about retirement – and how doing things this way will change your life – the concept of "pre-tiring," two types of economy, and what "money hobby" and self-managing companies are all about. The idea of the conversation with Dean came to Brian as the result of conversations he has been having with clients, plus the increased longevity and the outdated models that are still presented as the tools to approach retirement planning. From an early age, Dean realized the difference between what Dan Sullivan calls the time & effort economy, and the results economy. In the first type of economy. you get paid a fixed amount for your time and effort, whereas in the latter. you're paid by the results you create. Dean has been “pre-tiring” since 1999, splitting his time between Canada and Florida. For Dean, trying to define what success means to you and what your ideal lifestyle looks like are key aspects to reflect on. Society has been structured in a way where people worked with an eye on retirement, where they would spend their golden years. Now, things have changed. As Dean points out, there are billions of definitions of what "a perfect life" looks like, and "everyone's in possession of what could be a perfect life in their definition." The key is filling the blank, using your own situation and words, in regards to the sentence "I know I'll be successful when ____." Rehearsing for retirement is one of the things Brian has been helping clients with. Retirement is a transition, so being prepared for it is crucial. Dean believes that one of the important steps to take to prepare for the transition into retirement is what he calls "money hobby." Find something you're truly passionate about and look at whether you can turn it into some kind of business, like the Ryan's Toys YouTube channel, for example. Brian thinks that retirement isn't an age but a mindset. You can retire at 65 or at 35 if you have the right mindset and path to run down to create passive income. Citing Dan Sullivan's ideas and work, Dean and Brian touch upon the whole idea of life extender and making your future bigger than your past. For Dean, it isn't about how to do something but who can get something done for your company. You should decide whether you want to find a who that can help you with a specific thing – you can then turn into a business – or become that who yourself, for someone else's business, and do the what you really love. Dean talks about the so-called eight profit activators, a blueprint that's universally applicable to all businesses. It's about looking for opportunities to activate profits in any of the eight areas.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com Previous episode - Retirement is Not an Age DeanJackson.com Dan Sullivan - StrategicCoach.com/our-team/#/people/dan-sullivan Tony Robbins' New Money Master program Thomas Leonard Shopify.com Ryan's World on YouTube Chat GPT   Brian, Dean Jackson and MAS are not affiliated entities.   Securities offered only by duly registered individuals through Madison Avenue Securities, LLC.

Greetings, my friends.Let me share a personal experience. The best way to prepare for what God has in store for you is to rehearse the victories He has given you until now. I've found this to be true in my own life and career.Are you in a new assignment, seeking God for your next step and awaiting God's promise to you?As you rehearse with God His victories in your life, remember that He will renew your strength and give you confidence and assurance for the battles ahead. These are not just your victories, but God's victories won on your behalf.The battle is not yours but God's. He will deliver! What must you do?"The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent." John 6:29 NIVLet's listen and understand God's plan for victory, a plan that is designed to inspire and motivate us.Our next stop, "Conquest!"Tony

Can AI help us get better at one of the most challenging human skills—navigating conflict? In this episode, host Tricia Friedman shares the results of her latest experiment: building an AI-powered Conflict Simulator designed to help us rehearse and refine our approach to tough conversations. From using AI tools like Consensus and Moxie to explore conflict resolution research, to incorporating unexpected wisdom from dog play, Tricia takes listeners through the process of designing and testing a bot that doesn't just answer questions—but helps us practice how to engage in conflict more effectively. Listen in as Tricia puts the AI to the test, reflects on the role of synthetic voices, and invites you to experiment with the bot yourself. Whether you avoid conflict at all costs or want to sharpen your skills, this episode explores a fascinating new way to learn through AI.
