From Ann Arbor to the global design stage, Leon Speakers has carved out a unique identity—not as a technology company, but as a design company that happens to make exceptional audio and concealment solutions. Caitlin shares how Leon engages the architecture and design community, cultivates relevance in a shifting industry, and builds partnerships that challenge conventions of form, function, and beauty.

Relevance in the Industry: Shifting influence from general contractors to architects and designers, and Leon's effort to stay essential in conversations that shape environments.

The G20 will be diminished under the leadership of the United States that will assume the Presidency of the bloc from South Africa later this month. That's the view of leading development economist Prof Jayati Ghosh, who also serves as a member of the G20 Extraordinary Committee of Independent Experts on Global Inequality. Ghosh, who is a development economist based at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, was responding to various statement by senior United States (US) Government officials who've cast aspersions about South Africa's theme of Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability while promising to whittle the bloc back down to basics when Washington assumes the leadership mantle ahead of hosting next year's Leaders' Summit in Miami, Florida. SABC's US Correspondent Sherwin Bryce-Pease filed this report

In this episode of the SpeakersU Podcast, James Taylor and Maria Franzoni pull back the curtain on the world of top speaker bureaus — how they work, what they look for in speakers, and how to build mutually beneficial relationships that generate bookings. Maria draws on decades of experience running one of Europe's most respected bureaus to explain how agents think, what differentiates a bookable speaker, and the dos and don'ts that every professional should know. James adds his perspective as a speaker represented by leading bureaus around the world, revealing how he collaborates with agents, builds trust, and stays top-of-mind. Whether you're just starting out or already on the international circuit, this episode will help you understand the economics, etiquette, and psychology of working successfully with speaker bureaus.     Key Takeaways Bureaus are partners, not promoters – Their job is to serve their clients, not to manage your calendar. Be easy to sell – Have clear positioning, strong video, up-to-date assets, and a defined fee range. Stay top of mind – Regular updates, newsletters, and personal touches help agents remember you. Trust takes time – A bureau relationship is earned through reliability and professionalism. Never bypass a bureau client – Always respect existing relationships and contracts. Understand their economics – Bureaus work on commission; help them justify recommending you. Differentiate your topic – Relevance, clarity, and credibility make you stand out in their database. Be bureau-ready – Fast response times, accurate details, and flexibility build confidence. Support their success – Make them look good in front of their clients, and they'll champion you again.     Memorable Quotes "A bureau's client is the end client — not you. Understand that, and you'll have better relationships." – Maria Franzoni "Don't expect bureaus to build your business; help them sell you by giving them reasons to." – James Taylor "The easiest speakers to book are the ones who make agents look brilliant." – Maria Franzoni "Relevance and reliability will get you booked again and again." – James Taylor "Treat bureaus as partners — not miracles." – Maria Franzoni     Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome and catching up on travel and client projects 01:52 – What exactly is a speaker bureau? 03:28 – How bureaus differ from speaker agents or managers 05:16 – What bureaus really look for when recommending a speaker 07:32 – The economics of bureau commissions and client service 09:18 – How to make yourself "easy to sell" 11:40 – The power of positioning and clarity in your topic 13:05 – Dos and don'ts when approaching a new bureau 15:33 – Why trust is the currency of the bureau–speaker relationship 17:26 – Handling multiple bureaus without conflict 19:47 – Updating bureaus and keeping them engaged 22:09 – Common mistakes speakers make when working with bureaus 24:34 – Case studies: speakers who get rebooked again and again 26:42 – How to support your bureau before, during, and after events 29:15 – Tech & tools of the week for bureau collaboration 31:20 – Final thoughts and listener questions    

In this episode of the Gloria Chou PR Podcast, Gloria dives deep into one of the biggest traps small business owners face today — PR scams and pay-to-play “features.” You know the ones: “Get featured in *40 Under 40 Innovative Entrepreneurs—fees apply.” Gloria pulls back the curtain on how to spot these fake “PR opportunities” and why they don't give you the long-term authority, SEO, or credibility that earned media does.After years of helping thousands of founders get featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Allure, and The New York Times — without paying a dime for placement — Gloria reveals the red flags to watch for and what real PR looks like.What PR Isn't — And Why It MattersPR is not:

“Reflection is not optional. We're designed for it, and it's how our brains and souls find meaning.”In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession invites listeners into what she calls “reflection season.” It's the natural rhythm each winter when our nervous systems slow down and we shift from doing to meaning-making. Drawing from neuroscience, leadership coaching, and spiritual wisdom, Rebecca explains why this stillness isn't just rest. It's a design for renewal, clarity, and change.She guides leaders and business owners to prepare intentionally, offering practical ways to connect with teams before year's end, nurture safety, and spark loyalty through meaningful conversations. Through storytelling and grounded reflection, Rebecca reminds us that great leadership is stewardship, and that reflection precedes revelation, both personally and professionally.In this episode, you'll learn:How to support your team through reflection season with empathy and connectionWhy genuine appreciation and alignment matter more than metrics or performance aloneHow your own reflection as a leader sets the tone for everyone you influenceThings to listen for:(00:00) Introduction(01:27) Reflection season and its importance(02:18) Preparing for reflection as a leader(02:42) The neuroscience of reflection(03:17) Monthly and weekly reflection practices(04:50) Employee reflection and business impact(09:32) Genuine appreciation and connection(13:43) Leadership and personal reflectionConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

What does it take to build a brand that doesn't just cover culture—but defines it? In this episode, we sit down with Mike Tresvant, EVP of Brand Partnerships at Complex, to unpack how the iconic media brand continues to thrive in a shifting digital landscape. From ComplexCon's 300+ brand activations to the company's resurgence post-acquisition, Mike shares how a challenger mindset, authentic storytelling, and cultural fluency keep Complex ahead of the curve. We talk about what brands get wrong when trying to tap into culture, the new skills every marketer needs in the next five years, and why “selling relevance” is the real metric of success in today's attention economy.Key Takeaways:// Culture > Content: The future of marketing lies in creating cultural moments, not just media impressions.// The Challenger Mindset: Complex succeeds by thinking like an underdog—staying agile, experimental, and deeply connected to youth culture.// Earning Relevance: Brands can't buy their way into culture—they have to show up authentically and add value.// ComplexCon's Blueprint: Over 300 brand partnerships prove that when commerce, content, and culture intersect, real engagement follows.// Skills for the Future: Marketers who blend cultural intelligence with business acumen will lead the next wave of brand partnerships.// The Power of Community: Success comes from listening to your audience and co-creating experiences that reflect their world.Connect with Mike: LinkedIn____Say hi!

Topic 1: Is there a valid reason for Bitcoin to exist? You can now use Venmo (a subsidiary of PayPal) to pay for your tacos at Taco Bell. This is just the latest addition (see Apple Pay and Google Pay). Cash App is available indirectly as a card through Apple Pay and Google Pay.E-payments are expanding all the time. We can move money to relatives via apps from banks and services like Venmo.So what role does Bitcoin play other than hiding assets and transactions from the government?https://www.tacobell.com/offers-and-deals?utm_source=venmo Topic 2: Will Cyber Security have to Be a Private Function?CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) became “effective” November 10th. At this point, it's unclear whether there's any funding for compliance with the regulations.At the same time, CISA staff and funding have been slashed and it's not yet clear what funding will look like going forward.Is security, monitoring of foreign actors, and distribution of cyber security-related information and alerts now simply left to the private sector by default? While some vendors will see money in pieces of this puzzle, is there a financial incentive to create a comprehensive cyber security infrastructure that's not funded by the government? Topic 3: Innovation Outpaces Adoption … Creating a Roadblock for Growthhttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/speed-innovation-outpacing-adoptionwho-you-gonna-call-geoffrey-moore-4kyef/https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/disruptive-innovationthe-game-changing-geoffrey-moore-cjhyc/The speed of technology innovation has accelerated. The speed of technology adoption has not. This creates a backlog of trapped value for customers and a growth obstacle for vendors. How can we solve this? It's all about partners getting involved to deliver implementation / adoption services for emerging / disruptive technologies. Not “selling stuff” … but enabling customers to adopt stuff and get real value from it. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What does it take to bring the American Revolution to life? How can an event that took place 250 years ago be conveyed to us through modern-day film? Ken Burns and his team worked to answer these questions in their new, epic six-part documentary, Ken Burns' The American Revolution. Their work promises to deepen, complicate, and transform our understanding of the Revolution over 12 hours of film.

Ravi Rajani is a master of impactful communication, storytelling, and leadership development. He is the author of Relationship Currency and helps professionals unlock their influence through the power of intentional storytelling. From theater and investment banking to keynote stages and coaching rooms, Ravi's journey is a testament to finding alignment and embracing authenticity. https://www.theravirajani.com/  "Charisma is an innate superpower we all possess, which allows others to feel significant in our presence." "Your daughters will marry your example. Your sons will follow it." "The more you do the inner work, the more the dream works." In this heart-led and insight-packed conversation, Ravi Rajani dives into storytelling, authenticity, and personal transformation. He explores how inner alignment fuels outward success, the power of leading with vulnerability, and how storytelling can be the catalyst for influence and connection. It's a masterclass in communication that truly resonates. 1. Parenthood Becoming a parent reshaped Ravi's perspective on leadership and legacy. Children reflect the examples we set—our integrity, actions, and mindset matter. Personal growth becomes urgent when others look to you as a model. 2. Masks, Authenticity, and Alignment We wear masks to protect ourselves, but they often block genuine connection. True growth happens when we embrace who we are, not who we pretend to be. Removing the mask can be the catalyst to meaningful relationships and self-leadership. 3. Redefining Charisma Charisma isn't about attention—it's about making others feel they matter. Ravi's ASI framework (Authenticity, Specificity, Impact) turns compliments into transformations. When people feel seen and heard, they unlock their own potential. 4. From Pain to Story to Influence Ravi guides listeners to turn personal challenges into powerful stories. His "Acorn Checklist" (Attention, Conflict, Outcome, Relevance, Narrative) helps craft stories that stick. Your story is a bridge—when shared well, it invites others to step into their own journey. 5. Technology and Human Connection AI can support growth, but it must not replace human reflection and depth. Fast results without inner work risk shallow success. Use tools like AI to make space for deep conversations, not avoid them.

Welcome to the Women Petprenuers Podcast Book Club episode, your hosts Mary Oquendo and Denise Heroux dive into the classic dystopian novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. Together, they reflect on what it's like to read this nearly 100-year-old book as adults, comparing their current insights with memories of high school English class. The discussion touches on the book's heavy themes, its portrayal of society, and how some of Huxley's imagined future eerily parallels our own world today. Both Mary Oquendo and Denise Heroux share their honest struggles with finishing the book, critique the characters and the narrative, and consider its relevance for modern readers. They also chat about the challenges of revisiting old classics and hint at lighter, more humorous reads for upcoming book club sessions.

I'm joined by Dave Itzkoff on this week's episode to discuss Paddy Chayefsky's classic film, Network. Dave literally wrote the book on Network in his history of the film, Mad As Hell, and had lots to say about the making of the movie, the minds behind it, and its ongoing relevance to our daily lives. I know what you're thinking, I can practically hear your thoughts: A movie about corporations taking over news divisions and fearing problems from the FCC holding up mergers because they don't like coverage? What does that have to do with anything happening today? But I think we can squeeze out a similarity or two to our current moment.

In this episode, Tina dives deep into the psychology and strategy behind selling high-ticket courses and masterminds. She explains why selling high-ticket can actually be easier and more rewarding than selling low-ticket offers, and uncovers the essentials needed to communicate, create, and deliver transformational high-end programs. Key Topics Covered Why High-Ticket Is Easier to Sell Tina reveals that selling a $15,000 program often takes the same effort as selling at much lower price points—so why not aim higher? High-ticket programs typically foster greater transformation and deeper relationships. Conversion Psychology for High-Ticket Offers Selling high-ticket is not about slick marketing—it's about true connection and deep understanding. Buyers of premium offers are looking for certainty, transformation, relevance, trust, and community. Sales Process for High-End Programs Instead of mass marketing, Tina emphasizes personal connections and outreach. She shares how she fills her masterminds (Impact Mastermind, Empress Circle) through curated invitations and powerful relationships—no need for public sales pages or social media blasts. What High-Ticket Buyers Really Want Certainty and confidence that the offer delivers results Transformation, not just information Relevance to their situation and goals Trust in the mentor or facilitator Real connection and belonging in a curated community Positioning and Messaging High-ticket offers require clarity, confidence, and authority. Focus messaging on attracting the perfect-fit client—you're not trying to be everything to everyone. Conversion Triggers & Emotional Drivers Status, certainty, safety (including confidentiality), belonging, and urgency are all powerful triggers for high-ticket buyers. Foster a safe environment and screen participants carefully. Discovery Calls & Webinars The goal of calls is to find the right fit, not just "make the sale." Tina shares a personal story of a mastermind misfit and stresses the importance of proper screening for energy and alignment. Mindset of the Premium Seller Detach from needing the sale, focus on leadership and conviction, and price based on value and transformation, not just deliverables or hours. Selling high-ticket offers isn't about harder selling—it's about leading with confidence, connection, and conviction. When you focus on transformation over transaction, your offers—and results—elevate naturally.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake is once again in the spotlight and not just for his music. As the European leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour ramps up, with a scheduled performance at Manchester's Co-op Live arena on November 8, fans are flocking for remaining tickets. The show boasts a setlist loaded with nearly thirty hits, including Cry Me a River, SexyBack, and Mirrors, and the venue is throwing an official Noughties afterparty to keep the nostalgia alive. Timberlake's ability to electrify the stage remains unrivaled, cementing his place as one of pop's enduring titans after more than two decades leading NSYNC and his own multiplatinum solo career.Away from the stage, Timberlake is making business moves. The acclaimed Twelve Thirty Club restaurant, launched with restaurateur Sam Fox in Nashville, is expanding to Austin in early 2026, landing a prime spot in the city's bustling downtown, as confirmed by the Austin Business Journal and MySA. His ventures have always blurred the lines between music, film, and hospitality, signaling Timberlake's ongoing relevance not just as an entertainer but as a brand.But behind the scenes, Timberlake is reportedly focused on healing and introspection. According to AOL, he is taking a temporary break from certain industry commitments to prioritize his personal health. This follows a period of career turbulence in Hollywood, with sources telling Star and Reality Tea that Timberlake is “desperate to revive” his acting trajectory after cooling off since Palmer. Rather than taking humbler roles, Timberlake is said to be “thinking big,” reaching out to some major former collaborators like David Fincher and Mila Kunis as he aims to recapture blockbuster success. Insiders warn though, the road back won't be easy—audiences will demand compelling performances, not just nostalgia.Socially, Timberlake made quiet headlines on Globe for expressing continued support and sympathy for Britney Spears, as her struggles and family drama remain tabloid fodder. While not a direct public appearance, this show of solidarity is seen by some as a meaningful gesture given their shared pop history.Meanwhile, Timberlake's legacy and influence are celebrated everywhere—from upcoming candlelight tribute concerts in Tampa honoring his catalog, to viral TikTok and YouTube shorts resurfacing his classics like SexyBack and Holy Grail, to a new audio biography episode streaming this week. For all the speculation on where Timberlake goes from here, his position in the pop culture pantheon seems secure. Whether rebounding in film, branching into businesses, or returning to the stage, Timberlake remains a headline—one seemingly determined to remind everyone he's still somebody worth watching.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode, Bryce Zabel and Chrissy Newton dive into Mirage Men, a provocative and unsettling exploration of how UFO mythology has been manipulated and, at times, manufactured by intelligence agencies. The discussion centers on the book's central thesis — that much of what we think we know about UFOs may have been deliberately seeded by government operatives to cover up classified projects or sow disinformation. Names like Richard Doty and Paul Bennewitz are examined as case studies in psychological operations, raising questions about just how much of the UFO lore is organic versus orchestrated. Weaponized Myth or Truth in Disguise? The episode unpacks the troubling implications for researchers and experiencers alike. The book suggests that belief in non-human intelligence may have been stoked as part of long-running counterintelligence campaigns, leaving a trail of confusion and paranoia in their wake. The conversation also explores how this manipulation might have impacted the broader UFO community — creating divisions, muddying waters, and casting long shadows over genuine phenomena. The hosts balance skepticism with open-mindedness, probing whether Mirage Men reveals deception, deeper truths, or perhaps both.  The Relevance for Today's Disclosure Landscape The episode closes by drawing sharp parallels between the events in Mirage Men and today's disclosure efforts. With recent whistleblower testimony and government acknowledgments, listeners are asked to consider: are we witnessing a long-delayed truth, or just the latest evolution of the same game of informational misdirection? The book, and this conversation, ultimately leave listeners with a haunting but essential question — who benefits from what we believe, and why? This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to untangle the web of fact, fiction, and psychological warfare at the heart of the UFO narrative.

Silvana, Eric, and Tegan watch Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 9 "Allegiance." The Tok'ra and the Jaffa finally team up in this episode, is it everything the podcast hosts hoped it would be? Listen to find out. This episode has another man shooting a gun in a circle...but it has a decidedly different feel that in last week's episode "The Other Guys." Jacob talks to Jack about having a Tok'ra symbiote, and Sam is noteably absent for this conversation. Teal'c unfortunately is acting like his Chulak alter ego attacking a Tok'ra in this episode, can we stop with that? The Za'tarc detector is back! But is it useful? Does it change anything?  Episode ratings: Comedic Effect - 3/7 chevrons Emotional Impact - 3/7 chevrons Enjoyability - 3/7 chevrons Culture/history/lore - 6/7 chevrons Novelty - 3/7 chevrons Technical Quality  - 5/7 chevrons Plot - 1/7 chevrons Relevance to the overall story?

SummaryIn this conversation, Dr. Jeffrey D. Skinner discusses the decline of the Attractional Church model and emphasizes the importance of relationships in fostering lasting faith. He argues that the church's focus should shift from performance and spectacle to authentic presence and meaningful connections. The discussion highlights the need for churches to prioritize formation over mere attendance, advocating for a return to the core mission of love and community. Skinner provides practical takeaways for church leaders to navigate this transition effectively.TakeawaysThe Attractional Church model is fading.Relationships are the strongest predictor of lasting faith.Positive experiences with the Christian community shape identity.Methods built on image erode authenticity and trust.People want to be known by the church, not impressed.The church's impact is based on how it leads, not what it produces.Relevance fades fast; relationship endures.Transformation happens in shared life, not in crowds.The church is a people we become, not a place we attend.The church that endures is the most authentic.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/echoes-through-eternity-with-dr-jeffery-skinner--5523198/support.Echoes Through Eternity Guiding church planters and pastors to plant seeds of prayer, holiness, and courage that outlast a lifetime. contact drjefferydskinner@protonmail.com

After Donald Trump was first elected in 2016, Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism became a surprise bestseller. Arendt, who died in 1975, became a sort of prophet for the liberal "Resistance" based on her insights into lying and politics and the origins of fascism. Today, as President Trump acts with increasing authoritarianism and corruption, Arendt is still frequently quoted, but she's not the star she once was on the American left. Why? Yale historian and law professor Samuel Moyn discusses the uses and abuses of Hannah Arendt, one of the twentieth century's towering philosophers.

This episode features the second panel discussion of the day at Artemis London 2025, a session focused on the catastrophe bond market segment, from our fourth cat bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in the City of London, UK, held on September 2nd 2025. The panel, titled Catastrophe bonds: Sustaining momentum as relevance grows, was moderated by Tanja Wrosch, Executive Director, Cat Bond Portfolio Manager, Twelve Securis. She was joined by: Joe Tolen, Senior Investment Director, Credit Investment Group, Cambridge Associates; Gina Hardy, CEO, North Carolina Insurance Underwriting Association (NCIUA), North Carolina Joint Underwriting Association (NCJUA); Andre Rzym, Partner and Portfolio Manager, Man AHL; and Andy Palmer, Head ILS Structuring EMEA & APAC, Swiss Re Capital Markets. Our expert speakers discussed the growth of the market as well as potential challenges in sustaining that through different and increasingly competitive reinsurance market conditions. The need for efficient market processes was highlighted, as well as a desire to continue attracting and supporting new cat bond sponsors, including corporates and governments.  The panellists also recognised that cat bonds and other ILS can still be a difficult sell to investors, with education and transparency remaining critical, while communication with sponsors was also highlighted.  The discussion also covered the impact of ESMA's recommendations on UCITS asset eligibility and how this might affect the cat bond market over-time, as well as the potential for product innovations in the catastrophe bond space.

Middle schoolers are a different set of students, and it is important to consider how best to engage them in their learning. National Director, Naneka Brathwaite, joins this episode to unpack five key strategies to engage middle school students: make progress visible, fuel autonomy with real choice, keep content relevant to age, build discourse for critical thinking, and pace efficiently so every minute counts.Naneka explains how simple data talks, student-friendly progress trackers, and clear goals help learners name where they are and choose what to try next. From there, we dig into incorporating student choice by providing parallel paths to the same standard to support students deciding how they learn best. Relevance and discourse go hand in hand. Hear practical ways to pair developmentally appropriate texts with age-appropriate topics, reducing shame while raising curiosity. Naneka shares routines that move teachers from a "sage on the stage" to a facilitator of thinking: structured turn and talk, error analysis, and respectful disagreement that push ideas forward. In math and literacy alike, students learn to explain, question, and refine.Finally, we talk about pacing. Older learners can revisit foundations quickly, but not at the expense of understanding. Learn how to plan concrete-to-abstract progressions, use quick checks to steer instruction, and avoid whole-class reteaching by leveraging small groups and just-in-time supports. The payoff is fewer disruptions, more buy-in, and a room that feels both calm and energized.

Notes Luke 18:9-14 Joel 2:23-32 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18 Takeaways The Pharisee's self-righteousness contrasts with the humility of the tax collector. Humility is essential in discussions of justice and righteousness. Justice and righteousness must be balanced with compassion and understanding. The parable challenges listeners to reflect on their own self-perception. The context of Jesus' parable is crucial for understanding its message. Joel's message of hope is relevant in times of despair. The Holy Spirit's outpouring is a transformative force for all. Paul's reflections in 2 Timothy highlight the importance of perseverance in faith. Legacy is built on the actions we take in our lives. The ongoing impact of our lives continues even after we are gone. Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Rob McCoy explore the themes of humility, justice, and the transformative power of faith through the lens of biblical texts. They discuss the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector from Luke 18, emphasizing the importance of humility in faith and the dangers of self-righteousness. The conversation then shifts to the prophetic message of Joel, highlighting the hope and renewal that comes from God's spirit. Finally, they reflect on Paul's farewell in 2 Timothy, considering the legacy of faith and the ongoing impact of our lives. Throughout the discussion, the hosts encourage listeners to engage with these themes in their own lives and communities.
