Do you really win the negotiation if it means losing the relationship?You might think that successful negotiation means getting what you want here and now. But Stan Christensen says this short-sighted view is selling many negotiators short.Christensen is a professional negotiator, host of the All Things Negotiation podcast, and instructor of one of Stanford's most popular courses on the subject. His core insight: most negotiations happen with people you'll see again — which means success isn't about claiming victory, it's about building long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. “Most people think of negotiation statically,” he says. “It's you and I. There's a fixed pie. We're trying to get more for ourself and less for the other party. In reality, 95% of negotiations are gonna be with people you see again, so I define success as contributing to the value of the long-term relationship.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Christensen and host Matt Abrahams explore what it takes to negotiate well — from the power of listening and asking questions to managing emotions and communicating for collaboration. Whether you're negotiating a business deal or just deciding where to go to dinner, Christensen shows why every negotiation is an opportunity to strengthen the relationship.Episode Reference Links:Stan ChristensenAll Things Negotiation PodcastEp.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You WantEp.204 Tough Talks: Turn Tension Into Trust Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:11) - What Is Negotiation?

What if the smallest act of vulnerability… could completely change someone's life? In this deeply heartfelt solo episode, Darin explores a simple but radically transformative idea: go first. In a world where people are more digitally connected yet emotionally isolated than ever before, Darin breaks down the neuroscience, psychology, and human power behind making eye contact, giving genuine compliments, expressing appreciation, and risking authentic connection. From oxytocin and nervous system regulation to loneliness research and real-life stories of spontaneous connection with strangers, this episode is a reminder that healing doesn't always begin in a therapist's office—it can begin in a coffee shop, a grocery line, or a brief moment where one human being chooses to truly see another.     What You'll Learn Why modern society is experiencing a crisis of disconnection and loneliness The hidden psychological cost of avoiding vulnerability Why brief positive interactions with strangers improve mental health The neuroscience behind social rejection and fear of connection How oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are activated through authentic interaction Why vulnerability is a trainable "muscle" that rewires your nervous system The power of eye contact, compliments, and acknowledgment Why meaningful human interaction lowers stress and inflammation How small moments of courage create ripple effects for others Practical ways to "go first" and create more connection every day Chapters 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and the science of cellular health 00:01:03 – C15:0, mitochondrial function, and healthy aging 00:02:12 – Why many people may be deficient in C15 00:03:19 – "Celebrate science": discovering new essential fatty acids 00:04:13 – Opening reflection: noticing strangers in everyday life 00:04:52 – The moment we stop ourselves from speaking 00:05:10 – How many genuine moments do we suppress every day? 00:05:33 – Why these "tiny swallowed moments" matter deeply 00:06:02 – Humanity starving for real human connection 00:06:23 – "I see you.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kurt Farquhar. Television & Film Composer, Founder of Fall Crop Productions and True Music ProNotable Credits: The King of Queens, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Being Mary Jane, The Proud Family, The Neighborhood, Black LightningAwards: 10 BMI AwardsTenure: 38+ years in television Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview is to educate and inspire creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals about longevity, adaptability, and wealth-building behind the scenes. Kurt Farquhar’s journey highlights how sustainable success comes from mastery of craft, relationship-building, and treating creativity as a business—not chasing visibility or fame. Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3. Residual Income Is Real Wealth Rushion and Kurt discuss “mailbox money”—recurring payments from past work. “If you just had the mailbox money for King of Queens, you’d be fine.” Insight: True financial freedom comes from owning work that keeps paying. 4. Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8. Ownership Multiplies Creativity Into Business Kurt built True Music Pro, a licensing library used across major networks and streaming platforms. “I realized companies were licensing more of my music than I was… so I built my own library.” Insight: Ownership turns talent into scalable income. Notable Quotes “The journey to stay in is harder than the journey to get in.” “Treat it like a business and it might treat you in kind.” “I do my job, I do it the best I can, and I move on to the next one.” “Character is character.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kurt Farquhar. Television & Film Composer, Founder of Fall Crop Productions and True Music ProNotable Credits: The King of Queens, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Being Mary Jane, The Proud Family, The Neighborhood, Black LightningAwards: 10 BMI AwardsTenure: 38+ years in television Purpose of the Interview The purpose of this interview is to educate and inspire creatives, entrepreneurs, and professionals about longevity, adaptability, and wealth-building behind the scenes. Kurt Farquhar’s journey highlights how sustainable success comes from mastery of craft, relationship-building, and treating creativity as a business—not chasing visibility or fame. Rushion McDonald uses Kurt’s career as a blueprint for: Building mailbox money through residuals Staying relevant across decades of industry change Monetizing intellectual property Leveraging relationships to sustain opportunity Core Themes Discussed Longevity vs. “getting on” Behind-the-scenes success Residual income (“mailbox money”) Adaptability in changing industries Creative originality Relationship capital Diversifying income through ownership Treating art like a business Key Takeaways 1. Staying In Is Harder Than Getting In While many focus on breaking into the industry, Kurt emphasizes that lasting success requires constant reinvention. “The continuing it for the 30-plus years has been way harder than the getting in in the first.” Insight: Longevity requires discipline, humility, and evolution. 2. Behind-the-Scenes Roles Can Be More Sustainable Kurt chose composing over performing, allowing him to age into his career rather than age out of it. “In television and film… all I’ve got to say is John Williams is in his 90s and still composing.” Insight: Choose lanes that allow long-term relevance and recurring income. 3. Residual Income Is Real Wealth Rushion and Kurt discuss “mailbox money”—recurring payments from past work. “If you just had the mailbox money for King of Queens, you’d be fine.” Insight: True financial freedom comes from owning work that keeps paying. 4. Adaptability Is Non‑Negotiable Kurt has survived massive industry shifts—from analog tape to digital production—by embracing change. “Sustain that good idea, change it, polish it up, and mold it for the changing times.” Insight: Talent without adaptability becomes obsolete. 5. Originality Comes From Listening, Not Forcing a Style Kurt avoids creative stagnation by serving the story, not his ego. “I don’t come in every day trying to force the singular style I’ve done for 38 years.” Insight: Longevity depends on collaboration and humility. 6. Relationships Are Career Currency Kurt credits long-term success to consistently showing up for people—before they’re powerful. “If you only call someone once you read they’ve got something coming up, it’s already too late.” Insight: Relationships built without agenda produce lasting opportunity. 7. Saying “Yes” Creates Opportunity Kurt embraces what he calls the power of yes. “I figure I can say yes more than you and end up making more and doing better.” Insight: Opportunity favors those who remain open, prepared, and professional. 8. Ownership Multiplies Creativity Into Business Kurt built True Music Pro, a licensing library used across major networks and streaming platforms. “I realized companies were licensing more of my music than I was… so I built my own library.” Insight: Ownership turns talent into scalable income. Notable Quotes “The journey to stay in is harder than the journey to get in.” “Treat it like a business and it might treat you in kind.” “I do my job, I do it the best I can, and I move on to the next one.” “Character is character. Relationships matter.” “That success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens with care.” Overall Impact of the Interview This interview serves as a masterclass on creative longevity and wealth-building without celebrity dependency.

When Julie Brown was being poached from one company to another, they asked what she was currently earning. She told them a number she wanted to be true — what she deserved, not what she was making. They didn't blink.That's how she spent 17 years as one of the highest-paid professionals in a male-dominated field before realising that the secret lay in building relationships. She's turned that into a book called This Sh!t Works, and a speaking career with keynote speeches 99.9% of audiences want to hear again. Turns out, the sh!t does work.We talked about why everyone keeps asking the question they hate being asked, how a woman complimenting her flowered pants on the street turned into the perfect lesson on what networking was always supposed to feel like, and what it actually takes to be someone people remember after the room clears.Links to learn more about Julie Brown:WebsiteLinkedInAny thoughts?

In this episode, PIE President Jacob Parks reflects on relationship building as the real work of business development and what it means to deliver the lagniappe authentically. A theme that aligns closely with The Growth Engine. Growth is built through trust, intentionality, and the moments that strengthen relationships long after the transaction. If you are thinking about how to create momentum that lasts, this conversation is worth a (re)listen.

What actually makes someone become the photographer everyone knows, trusts, and refers? In this episode of Shifting Focus, I sit down with Noella Andres to talk about authority, branding, education, and why simply posting great work online is no longer enough to stand out. Noella shares her journey from wedding photographer to educator, speaker, and industry leader, along with what photographers often misunderstand about influence, visibility, and becoming known for something specific. We talk about: • Why authority is built slowly over time • The difference between attention and trust • How education can elevate your business and brand • What actually leads to speaking opportunities and brand deals • Why networking still matters • Creating strategic content instead of random content • Launching courses, podcasts, masterminds, and live events • Why "industry gatekeeping" is changing If you want to become more than just another photographer posting online, this episode is for you.

Pastors Andy and Christy Cass We all build something with our lives whether we realize it or not. The question is, are we building with intention or drifting into dysfunction? In this message, we walk through Genesis 2–3 and uncover what it means to move from being a passive recipient to an active participant in your relationships, your purpose, and your faith. The enemy wants to distort what God designed, but you are invited back into partnership with the Creator. TEXT: Genesis 2–3; 1 Corinthians 3:9; James 4:1; Proverbs 24:30–34; Hebrews 11:7 “If now careful we drift from an Active Participant to a Passive Recipient.” “Drift is natural.

What if the innovation economy has always had a gender problem—and we just couldn't see it? Despite a wave of visibility for women entrepreneurs, the numbers are stark: 90% of inventors in Canada are male, and women-led ventures receive less than 5% of available funding. In this episode, UBC Sauder School of Business assistant professor Angèle Beausoleil (PhD'17)—a researcher, serial entrepreneur, and self-described "pracademic"—unpacks why innovation culture skews masculine, what groupthink costs organizations that ignore it, and why the traits society calls "feminine" might actually be the entrepreneurial superpowers we've been undervaluing all along.Links for this episodeTranscriptContact CarolContact JeevanFrom Here ForwardPodium Podcast CompanyContact Dr. Angele BeausoleilLearn more about Dr. Beausoleil's researchJeevan & Carol's Fave Canadian Businesses | Blume Skincare | Dexy Paws | Stranger Tails (00:00) - Introduction (01:56) - Meet Dr. Angele Beausoleil (04:24) - Is innovation “too masculine” & what does that mean?

If you can make conversation, you can make your own luck.Good communication isn't passive. And good luck, says Tina Seelig, is the same. There's “what the world gives us,” and then there's “how we respond to it.”Seelig is executive director of the Knight-Hennessy Scholars Program at Stanford University and author of What I Wish I Knew About Luck. For her, good fortune doesn't find us, we find it. “Opportunities for lucky things to happen are ubiquitous. But they're invisible and most people don't see them,” she says. In the same way that communication requires active listening, making our own luck requires presence to the people and possibilities that come our way.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seelig and host Matt Abrahams explore how communication creates luck. From curious listening to resolving the conflicts that block opportunity, Seelig offers practical ways to respond to what life offers — and turn everyday interactions into the foundation for good fortune.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Tina SeeligTina's Book: What I Wish I Knew About LuckEp.111 Rethinks: How to Spark Creativity in Your CommunicationEp.159 Earn Your Audience: You Can't Lead If No One's Listening Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:46) - Luck vs. Fortune (03:55) - The Idea of Making Luck (04:40) - Building Your Luck Framework (05:49) - Listening Creates Opportunity (06:56) - Focus on Others (09:57) - Staying Connected to Others (11:09) - Appreciation as a Habit (12:04) - How Conflict Blocks Luck (13:35) - Apologies Create Opportunity (14:33) - Ask, Don't Assume (16:26) - Communicating for Your Audience (18:13) - Prepare Your Stories (21:46) - The Final Three Questions (26:16) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

In this FDE+ episode, Kortney Harmon brings a session from the recent virtual conference to the podcast—part of a series turning real, no-fluff conversations into standalone insights—featuring Benjamin Mena on “revenue drift.”Benjamin shares how distractions—AI tools, content, and constant activity—pull focus away from the fundamentals that actually drive revenue. He explains why pipeline slowdowns start months earlier, how inconsistent business development creates feast-or-famine cycles, and why top billers win by protecting simple, repeatable habits over chasing complexity.Key Takeaways • Why revenue doesn't collapse—it drifts • The 60–90 day lag between activity and results • How inconsistent BD creates unstable pipelines • Why strategy without execution accelerates decline • The habits that keep recruiters in the top tier_____________________________Connect with Benjamin Mena Follow on LinkedIn: LinkedIn | Benjamin Mena Select Source Solutions: here The Elite Recruiter Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theeliterecruiter/Explore more from Benjamin: This Is Your Year Summit: https://this-is-your-year-recruiter-summit.heysummit.com Elite Recruiter Community: check it out here Podcast on Spotify: check it out hereConnect with Crelate Follow Crelate on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crelate/ Want to learn more about Crelate?

If you feel like you're constantly starting over in your fitness journey… this episode is for you. In this episode of The Fitness League Podcast, Josh, Alessandra, and Joelle break down the cycle that keeps people stuck—and how to finally break it using a simple, sustainable approach: the 70% restart rule. We dive into why chasing perfection leads to inconsistency, how flexible programming and "Plan A vs Plan B" thinking can keep you on track during busy seasons, and why enjoyment is one of the most underrated drivers of results. We also discuss how to unlearn rigid, all-or-nothing habits and shift toward a minimum effective dose mindset that actually fits your life. This conversation is about building a system you can return to—again and again—without burnout, guilt, or starting from scratch. Because real progress doesn't come from being perfect… it comes from staying in the game. If you're ready to stop the reset cycle and start building consistency that lasts, this episode will show you how.

In today's always-on world, it's never been easier to say yes to everything—and harder to protect what actually matters. In this episode of The Fitness League Podcast, we dive into the real challenges of setting boundaries in modern life. From overloaded kids' sports schedules to constant screen time and social media noise, we unpack how quickly our time, energy, and attention get pulled in every direction. We share personal experiences navigating parenting decisions, family priorities, and the pressure to "do it all." More importantly, we talk about how to make intentional choices—not just for your own health, but for your family's long-term well-being. We explore how overscheduling can impact childhood development, why boundaries around technology are more important than ever, and how creating space for unstructured time can actually lead to better outcomes for both kids and parents. If you've ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed by commitments, or unsure where to draw the line, this conversation will help you step back, reassess, and take control of your time again. Because a better life isn't built by doing more, it's built by doing what matters most.

Balancing Automation and Authenticity: Real Estate Growth with Mark WeithornIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Mark Weithorn, the Founder and CEO of DPI Showcase Websites, to discuss the evolving intersection of high-tech tools and high-touch relationships. As the real estate market becomes increasingly digital, agents often struggle to find the "sweet spot" between efficient automation and the genuine human connection that closes deals. Mark shares his deep expertise in building MLS-linked platforms that handle the heavy lifting of marketing—from automated blogging to social media syndication—allowing realtors to step away from their screens and back into their communities.The "Mango Burrito" Strategy: Turning Digital Leads into Human RelationshipsThe primary challenge for the modern realtor is the temptation to "abdicate" their business to technology rather than using it to "automate" their success. Mark Weithorn explains that while having a website that pulls in real-time MLS listings and sends out weekly newsletters is essential for staying top-of-mind, these tools are merely the opening act for a personal follow-up. A built-in CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system serves as the digital brain of a brokerage, but it requires a human heart to function effectively. By using automation to handle routine birthday greetings and market reports, an agent buys back the time necessary to make a personal phone call or write a handwritten note—actions that differentiate a trusted advisor from a faceless algorithm.Success in real estate is frequently found in "low-hanging fruit"—the contacts already residing in an agent's smartphone. Mark suggests a simple yet profound exercise: scrolling through existing phone contacts to re-engage with past clients and acquaintances. This "Mango Burrito" approach emphasizes that your network is your net worth, but only if that network knows exactly what you do. By sending a personalized, non-salesy message to old contacts and inviting them to view updated website links, agents can reignite dormant referral engines. This strategy moves the focus from expensive cold-lead acquisition to the high-trust environment of existing relationships, where the conversion rate is naturally much higher.Beyond the digital sphere, Mark advocates for a return to "old school" visibility combined with modern consistency. Getting involved in local community groups—whether it's the PTA, a place of worship, or a local charity—builds the kind of long-term familiarity that breeds trust. He recommends a surprisingly simple physical tactic: distributing at least 1,000 business cards per year. In an age of digital noise, a physical card handed over during a genuine conversation at the gym or grocery store remains a powerful, low-pressure anchor. When an agent balances this local presence with a website that provides continuous value through automated education, they create a professional "omnipresence" that makes them the obvious choice when a neighbor is finally ready to buy or sell.About Mark WeithornMark Weithorn is the Founder and CEO of DPI Showcase Websites and a veteran in the real estate technology space.

How to communicate for deeper connection—and greater happiness.Happiness isn't just a feeling—it's something you can actively shape through how you think, connect, and communicate.Sonja Lyubomirsky, a distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside and co-author of How to Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More of What Matters Most, defines happiness as two key components: “being happy in your life and being happy with your life.” And while many people separate happiness from meaning or purpose, she explains that “they almost always go together.” Her research shows how the small habits we practice—like gratitude—can have a powerful effect, helping to “neutralize negative emotions” and shift how we see our lives. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lyubomirsky and host Matt Abrahams explore the science of wellbeing and the habits that help us feel more fulfilled. From gratitude practices to breaking free from the comparison trap, they share practical strategies for boosting happiness and explain why connection isn't just about being loved, but truly “feeling loved.”Episode Reference Links:Sonja LyubomirskySonja's Book: How To Feel Loved179.

Dana Malstaff 56 mins Edit   Reply       Stop Letting My Title Cost Me Clients: Focus on Frameworks, Not Labels In this episode, I explain how what I call myself—my title and even my business name—can actually confuse the market and keep me from getting the clients I want and building consistent income. After coaching thousands of women, I've seen that trying to be clever with a unique title backfires, so I need to stop making my title creative and instead focus on the framework I use to take someone from a problem to a transformation. I also share how titles can get tangled with my identity, especially as a mom whose sense of self keeps evolving, so I shouldn't pin my identity to a label. Finally, I challenge the old idea that I need a perfect business card or bio, and I invite listeners to email me or join the Boss Mom community to keep the conversation going. 00:00 Titles That Repel Clients 00:20 Welcome to Boss Mom 00:44 Stop Being Clever 01:39 Sell a Framework 02:45 Titles and Identity Traps 03:40 Lead With Results 04:49 Ditch the Business Card 05:44 Bios and Relationship Building 06:20 Framework Sweet Spot 06:43 Next Steps and Wrap Up

Buying property in Ireland as an Expat is never as simple as it seems, but having someone with you that is invested in understanding what you need from a home is a brilliant first step. Especially if they help you find what you want when you didn't even know yourself.This is Part 1 of my conversation with Andrew Rhatigan of Rhatigan Real Estate and I have to say, I really enjoyed this one! Many of you are either planning a move to Ireland or trying to buy from abroad, and what Andrew brings is something quite different.

He's not just a buyers agent who spends your money, but takes the time to understand you.Andrew walks us through what buying in Ireland is really like: why Sale Agreed isn't legally binding, why timelines can stretch far longer than expected, and why simply having funds doesn't automatically put you at the top of the list.For Andrew, buying property is rarely just about bricks and mortar. It's about life decisions, relationships, expectations, and sometimes blind spots we don't even realise we have. Andrew's real skill is helping clients step back, gain clarity, and avoid making an expensive decision for the wrong reasons.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Andrew's Psychology-Led Approach to Property: Andrew explains how his background in psychology shapes the way he works with clients, focusing on uncovering motivations and blind spots rather than simply facilitating a transaction.Clarity Over Pressure in the Buying Process: We discuss how Andrew challenges clients' assumptions, respectfully “picks apart” wish lists, and helps them separate wants from needs before making a major financial commitment.Common Misconceptions Expats Have About the Irish Property Market: From assuming the asking price is fixed to believing money alone guarantees priority, we unpack the realities that often surprise buyers moving to Ireland.Understanding the Nuances of Sale Agreed, Booking Deposits & Legal Timelines: We step through what “under offer” and “sale agreed” really mean in Ireland, why booking deposits are not legally binding, and why timelines can be far longer than expected.Why Property is 90% People and 10% Bricks & Mortar: Andrew shares how sellers' motivations, family dynamics, and personal circumstances can shape outcomes, and why understanding the human side of a deal is often the key to securing the right home.**Special Offer from Andrew**Taxbytes For Expats listeners will get 25% off their purchase of the Property Blueprint when you mention “ExpatTaxes” upon your purchase.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brendan Kaminsky. Founder of B Known Agency, a boutique branding and digital marketing firm specializing in sports and entertainment. Kaminsky shares his journey from consulting, to working at ESPN, to eventually launching his own agency. He discusses helping major personalities like Stephen A. Smith, Jalen Rose, Harrison Barnes, and Rich Eisen develop strong social media identities and storytelling strategies. Brendan explains why he left ESPN after six and a half years—despite the security, prestige, and Disney benefits—to pursue entrepreneurship. He describes how brand building has shifted from traditional media to a landscape where relatability, vertical video, audience engagement, and consistent content matter more than follower counts. He also talks about the pressure of managing public-facing work in real time, the importance of being accessible to high‑profile clients, the rising role of AI in content creation, and how social platforms have become core to modern marketing strategies. Additionally, Brendan shares specific examples of working with Jalen Rose on mixing sports commentary with community-focused storytelling and describes how Rich Eisen’s annual “Run Rich Run” 40‑yard dash evolved into a signature charitable brand moment. The interview closes with insights on relationship-building, authenticity, and visibility—reinforcing that in the digital era, it’s not just “who you know,” but who knows you. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To highlight Brendan Kaminsky’s entrepreneurial journey McDonald explores how Kaminsky transitioned from a major corporation (ESPN) to founding a successful agency. 2. To educate listeners on the evolving world of branding and digital media Kaminsky explains how branding now depends on relatability, vertical video, and engagement over follower count. 3. To provide actionable guidance for entrepreneurs and creators The interview teaches how consistency, accessibility, and storytelling help build a recognizable digital brand. 4. To show how athletes and media personalities use content to expand influence Brendan walks through real client strategies—from Jalen Rose’s community work to Rich Eisen’s fundraising dash. 5. To explore the role of AI in modern marketing Kaminsky discusses how AI assists with analytics, research, and identifying viral content moments. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Relatability drives modern branding People connect with authenticity, not polished promotion. Talk to your audience, not at them. 2. Engagement matters more than follower count Algorithms reward content that resonates, regardless of how many people follow you. A creator with 10,000 followers can hit a million views. 3. Social media requires presence and accessibility High-profile clients expect responsiveness; being available is key to agency success. 4. Vertical video is the new standard Optimizing content for mobile consumption is essential—TV graphics no longer dictate how content is built. 5. AI is an asset, not a threat Kaminsky uses AI for virality scoring, caption suggestions, research, and identifying strong clips from long-form content. 6. Data tells the story Success can be clearly measured through views, engagement, and growth—unlike billboards or traditional media. 7. Use “hot topics” to highlight deeper work For clients like Jalen Rose, trending sports conversations help drive attention to community-focused initiatives like his leadership academy. 8. Brand moments can start from something small Rich Eisen’s 40-yard dash evolved into a signature charity event and content anchor. 9. Entrepreneurship requires trusting your gut He left ESPN without telling anyone beforehand to avoid discouragement—because he felt the pull to build his own vision. 10. Visibility creates opportunity In the digital era, it’s not just who you know—it’s who knows you. NOTABLE QUOTES On entrepreneurship “I trusted my gut… I didn’t tell one person I was leaving ESPN because I didn’t want anyone to make me doubt myself.” On branding “People want to relate to you. They want to get to know you.” “Talk directly to your audience.” On social metrics “It’s become a lot more about engagement and views than total follower number.” On accessibility “You could be the best at your job, but if a client can’t reach you, it doesn’t matter.” On visibility “It’s not about who you know—it’s about who knows you.” On AI “AI is absolutely an asset… it helps us with research, analytics, even virality scoring.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Come see and talk to Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows in 2026* Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week, we sit down with Richard Rosas Sr — artist, entrepreneur, removable specialist, and the man behind one of the most creative workflows we've heard in a long time. Richard's journey starts in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he grew up moving between nine schools, discovered a gift for fine art, and even earned a scholarship to Tyler School of Art and Architecture — which he turned down out of fear of becoming a starving artist. After a detour into computer programming, granite engraving, and even opening a salsa dance studio with his mom (yes, there's a South Beach nightclub moment that changed everything), Richard eventually answered a tiny newspaper ad asking, “Are you an artist?” That question led him into a dental laboratory and launched a career that would blend creativity, discipline, faith, and serious removable skills. Under intense mentorship and PTC-style training, Richard sharpened his craft in removables, eventually managing a department and earning enough respect that doctors specifically requested him chairside. One large account even pulled all their cases after Richard pushed back on unrealistic deadlines — only to return weeks later with deeper respect and loyalty. That experience shaped his philosophy: honesty, communication, and quality always win long term. His path then led him to ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers, where performing four to six arches a day gave him next-level surgical and prosthetic experience. It was there that the real lightbulb went off — immediate impression evaluation, real-time patient interaction, faster turnaround, and true collaboration between surgeon, prosthodontist, and technician completely changed his view of what was possible. Now Richard has taken that high-efficiency, patient-centered model and built something entirely his own: a boutique removable lab with a fully functional, patent-pending mobile on-site dental laboratory inside a Mercedes Sprinter van. By bringing the lab directly to private practices, he combines multiple traditional appointments into streamlined visits, delivers final dentures in as little as two weeks, processes chairside in the parking lot, and markets not only to dentists but directly to patients. His mission isn't just to make dentures faster — it's to elevate the technician's role, strengthen patient connection, and show that removables can be both efficient and beautiful. Through his new YouTube channel, Mastering Removables, he's beginning to share that knowledge with others who want to rethink what a lab can be. Hey, listeners—ever wonder what Elvis is doing when he's not recording Voices from the Bench? He's a client rep for Derby Dental Laboratory, out in the field every day doing chairside visits and building relationships. His job is simple—keep doctors happy and keep them coming back. And he couldn't do it without iCortica. Right from his phone, Elvis can see sales, remake rates, account notes, risks, and cross-sell opportunities—even before he walks through the door.

Elvis actually made it down to the exhibition halls this year — and hyperDENT from FOLLOW-ME! Technology was everywhere. Booth after booth, people were talking milling strategies, templates, and workflows. It felt like a full-on CAM takeover. Their Milling Roadmap scavenger hunt had attendees bouncing between Axsys, Imagine, D.O.F., and Roland collecting stamps like responsible adults… Responsible adults chasing a bright orange folding electric hyperDENT scooter. That's what we love about the FOLLOW-ME! team — world-class CAM engineers talking microns and validation protocols one minute, then ripping around Lab Day the next. Serious about precision. Not too serious about themselves. Big shoutout for bringing the brains — and the electric horsepower. Come see and talk to Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows in 2026* Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week we finally get Jay Collins to stop dodging Elvis long enough to sit down and share one of the wildest journeys in dental lab history. From a family split between union steamfitters and dental technicians in Philadelphia to surviving “The Great Brotherly Lab War,” Jay's story is packed with grit, loyalty, and a whole lot of Irish Catholic chaos. What started with an uncle drafted into dental technology during Vietnam eventually turned into a multi-generation lab legacy—and Jay swearing he'd never get into teeth… only to build a powerhouse anyway. After the 2008 crash wiped out his construction business, Jay bet everything on selling outsourced restorations door-to-door, sleeping in his car, showering at the gym, and cold-calling hundreds of offices a week. What followed was the development of his unapologetically bold, psychologically savvy sales approach—what he calls being “aggressively calm.” From pushing doctors to “no,” to matching their energy toe-to-toe, to walking into offices as “the lab” and walking out with cases in hand, Jay breaks down the mindset shift most lab owners desperately need: sales isn't optional, and it definitely isn't accidental. Now leading multiple lab locations under the brilliantly simple name thedentallab.net, Jay shares hard truths about growth, mergers, firing abusive clients, and why cutting your sales department in tough times is the worst move you can make. If you've ever struggled with prospecting, scaling, or standing your ground with doctors, this episode is packed with practical strategies, hilarious role-playing, and a reminder that confidence—backed by accountability—wins every time.
