Podcasts about Reputation

Taylor Swift has been through more public backlash than almost any artist of her generation, yet somehow she always comes back stronger.This week we're breaking down "CANCELLED!" from The Life of a Showgirl and talking about every major moment people tried to cancel Taylor throughout her career. From the 2016 snake era to the Kanye phone call, the Reputation comeback, the masters battle, and even the recent Blake Lively headlines, we're connecting all the dots behind one of the album's most fascinating songs.We also dive into the lyrics that have Swifties convinced this song contains hidden references to Blake Lively, explore why Taylor has become the unofficial expert on surviving public judgment, and discuss the impossible standards women face in the spotlight.Whether you think this song is about Taylor, Blake, or something much bigger, we had so much fun unpacking every lyric and theory. Let us know what you think because we know Swifties always catch something we missed.What did we miss? What else would you like to hear from us? There are lots of ways to reach us.

Lieutenant-Colonel Chris Bray is the Commanding Officer of 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron, the Royal Canadian Air Force unit supporting the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM).In Part 2, we take a rare look behind the curtain of Canadian Special Operations Aviation, exploring how 427 Squadron evolved into the modern capability it is today. Chris explains the squadron's culture, what makes it unique among allied SOF aviation units, the philosophy of "no mission too small," the addition of the CE-145C Vigilance, and the standards that define one of Canada's most demanding aviation communities. We also discuss leadership, mission command, and how 427 built a reputation for professionalism, adaptability, and trust while supporting special operations around the world.CONTINUE THE FLIGHTEXPLORE THE LOGBOOKMore stories from RCAF and mission aviation pilotshttps://podpilotproject.transistor.fm/episodesCHAPTERS(00:00:00) Introduction and Welcome(00:02:41) How 427 Squadron Reinvented Itself(00:03:39) Building One Special Operations Aviation Culture(00:06:49) Why the Squadron Had to Change(00:09:44) Living Through the Transformation(00:13:10) Earning a Reputation in Special Operations Aviation(00:14:49) "No Mission Too Small"(00:18:46) Expanding the Mission with the CE-145C Vigilance(00:20:44) Learning to Think Beyond Helicopters(00:22:53) What Makes 427 Different?(00:26:21) Becoming an Organic CANSOFCOM Capability(00:28:44) The Professionals Behind Every Mission(00:30:04) Why Communications Can Make or Break a Mission(00:31:12) Building Trust with Canada's Special Operations Forces(00:33:44) Maintaining Elite Standards(00:37:52) Rewriting the Rules: The New TOCA(00:41:35) The Career Path of a Special Operations Aviator(00:44:57) Balancing Risk and Mission Success(00:46:22) Leading an Elite Squadron(00:47:34) The Hardest Decisions as Commanding Officer(00:49:57) Next Time: Inside SOTAC

There's someone at your work who's getting away with things they should never get away with. The manipulation. The credit-taking. The quiet dismantling of people who deserved better. You've seen behind the mask that everyone else seems to find so charming, and every fiber of your being wants to expose it.In this series finale, here's the case for why you shouldn't.Not because they don't deserve it. But because the exposure conversation you've rehearsed will almost certainly cost you more than it costs them. This episode decodes the "shoot the messenger" trap that Harvard researchers documented, the crucial difference between reporting facts and exposing character, and why matching a political operator's game makes you indistinguishable from them.Then we complete the CALM framework with its final step, Move, and what deliberate action actually looks like when everything in you wants to react. Including the difference between fleeing a toxic workplace and leaving one on your own terms, with your reputation and your peace intact.Because character compounds quietly, without maintenance, over years. And when the reorganization comes, or leadership changes, or the mask finally slips, it's character that holds. Every single time.The watched moments build your image. The unwatched moments build your character. This episode is about making sure yours is telling the story you want told.In this episode:The exposure trap, and why telling the truth can make you the problemReporting facts vs. exposing character (and why one works and one backfires)Why character always surfaces, and political skill never lastsThe CALM Move step: deliberate, not dramaticFleeing vs. leaving, and why walking away whole is never losingThe reputation you build when nobody's watchingNot sure what's really getting in the way of your career?

George found a 2018 Reddit thread about himself he had no idea existed. People were asking if he was still alive. It was ranking on page one. Shaping how strangers thought about him. And he had zero input on it. That's reputation. It doesn't wait for you to show up. This is the masterclass. Four weeks in the making, taught at a live event, and refined through client work, George breaks down everything you need to know about online reputation: what it actually is, how to audit it, how to manage it, and the mindset to carry it forward.  What You'll Learn In This Episode: What curb appeal really means for your business and why it speaks before you do The four-step audit to run on your own name today How AI is surfacing reviews and content from 2012 that you've completely forgotten about The 80/20 strategy for managing your online presence without burning out Micro vs. macro reviews and how to capture and use both The biggest missed opportunity in reputation management (it's free and takes 10 minutes) The painting vs. garden framework for platforms you no longer actively use Key Takeaways: ✔️Reputation is how someone would talk about you and answer a question about you when you're not in the room. It's not your Instagram. It's all of it. ✔️AI is crawling everything, blog posts from 2012, Reddit threads, old reviews and surfacing them when prospects research you. Two clients found George through ChatGPT recommendations. ✔️If you haven't Googled yourself in a private browser in the last 30 days, you don't know what strangers are finding. Go do it now. ✔️Micro reviews are the unsolicited praise happening in DMs, comments, and texts. Document every one. Macro reviews are end-of-engagement assets. Capture both systematically. ✔️The biggest missed opportunity: responding to every review, good and bad. Not responding online is the equivalent of staring at a customer in silence when they ask you a question. ✔️The painting vs. garden rule: if you can't tend to a platform consistently, paint it. Update the bio, pin a redirect post, get the contact info right. Don't leave an overgrown yard for strangers to find. ✔️Scaling your reputation doesn't mean automating the human touches. It means protecting them as you grow. ✔️Your perception is their reality and it's being shaped right now, whether you're paying attention or not.

In the World Cup Talk with SBS German, the experts analyse the Spaniards' well-deserved victory, the key moments of the final and the effects of the defeat on Argentina.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Ezra and Nehemiah, following Israel's return from exile as they begin the long work of rebuilding Jerusalem, the temple, and their covenant relationship with God. These chapters remind us that every story of faith includes moments of starting again, and that the Lord is always ready to welcome His people home. As the people lay the temple's foundation, face opposition, and press forward despite discouragement, they discover that rebuilding rarely happens all at once. Faith grows one step at a time through small, consistent acts of devotion, even when progress feels slow. Again and again, scripture reminds us that the good hand of God is upon His people, strengthening them as they continue the work He has called them to do. This episode also highlights the role of prophets in times of rebuilding. Through the words of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah, we see that God's servants encourage, strengthen, and remind His people of who they truly are. Rather than being defined by past mistakes, the Lord invites us to accept His new decree over our lives and move forward with faith, courage, and joy. Above all, Ezra and Nehemiah testify that rebuilding is not a story of shame but of hope. The joy of the Lord becomes our strength as we remember His goodness, recognize His hand in our lives, and choose once again to walk with Him. No matter where we begin, His gracious hand is always reaching out, inviting us to build something beautiful with Him.

This morning a nutrition client texted Krysta to celebrate a win — not a number on the scale, but a Reel that took off in 20 minutes. That tiny moment is personal brand at work: when people feel who you are, they attach to everything you're about, not just what you're selling. In this third installment of the accidental July personal-brand series, Krysta goes a layer deeper on the one question that changes everything — what do you want to be known for? In this episode we dive into:• The difference between being visible and being recognizable• Why reputation is built through repetition (and why you're not repeating enough)• The house-and-doors metaphor that lets you talk about more than one thing• How to drill past the category to the association people actually rememberVisible vs. Recognizable• Posting more isn't the fix — plenty of people are visible and still completely forgettable• "What should I post?" comes with frustrated, behind, 37-minutes-into-a-doom-scroll energy• "What do I want to be known for?" gives that same post a reason and a job• Recognizable means people know what you stand for even when your topics changeReputation Is Built Through Repetition• Most people aren't close to repeating themselves enough — you get bored long before your audience does• That post you agonized over? They half-saw it once, in line at Whole Foods, mid-notification• Repeat the point of view, not the exact words — through different stories, examples, and client moments• The house metaphor: your topics are doors (entryways into your world), and your through line is the roof that makes every room belongGo One Layer Deeper Than the Category• "I want to be known for fitness" is a category, not a reputation• Push further: which kind, for whom, solving what specific problem, with what point of view• Krysta's example — not "fitness," but the coach who helps busy women stop putting everyone else first• This is identity work: what you want to be known for in your work, your body, your relationships, and your own headThis conversation reminds us that being known for something is bigger than your public reputation — it's your private identity too. Whether you're a founder tired of reinventing the wheel every single caption or someone who just wants to feel like themselves again online, this episode offers the reframe (and the permission) to stop chasing visibility and start building recognition.This Week's Exercise: Write "I want to be known for…" at the top of a note. Don't stop at the category. Keep pushing — for whom, solving what, with what point of view — until the answer is specific enough to actually repeat.FYX Tip of the Week: Pick one thing you want to be known for, then pick the proof. If it's "someone who follows through," don't just commit to three workouts — schedule them as protected time. Choose the identity, then choose the behavior that earns it.No Such Thing of the Week: There is no such thing as being known for something you only share once in a while. Reputation requires repetition — and if you only talk about it when you're selling, that's what people will remember you for.Want to workshop yours?

Are you a fan of powerful red wines like Châteauneuf-du-Pape but don't love the price tag? Then Gigondas may be the wine you've been waiting for. Gigondas is often called the “little brother” of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and shares many of the same characteristics including hailing from the southern Rhône in France and containing the same GSM or Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes in its blend. And while it is a powerful wine that is the perfect companion to steak frites, it is also extremely balanced and elegant. We'll explore the history and techniques behind this fabulous wine, but more importantly, we'll give you our honest review of two Gigondas wines to let you know if either or both are worth your hard-earned money. And as we do every week, we'll round out our conversation with some “wine in the news this week” fun as well as random side conversations like the names of the two main characters in Revenue of the Nerds. It's hard to explain. You just have to listen.

Justin Baldoni hadn't said a public word in almost two years. Then last week he propped up a phone, sat down next to his wife Emily, and posted a video to his own Instagram — no publicist, no People magazine. I told NBC News the most strategic thing about the video is how unstrategic it looked, and in this episode I show you the receipts.I walk through every move the way I teach my own clients: the owned-channel play (stop fighting Meta's algorithm — bring the crisis to your channel), the optics of the couch and the army-green T-shirt, the family deployment (why Emily delivered the hardest lines, and why Blake Lively's version of that move — deploying Taylor Swift — backfired), the one-word message of gratitude, and the timing window that opened the moment the Taylor Swift wedding coverage cooled. Then my partner Muck Rack and I ran the numbers: 623 articles in four days, 60.7% positive sentiment, only 7.2% negative, and a word cloud that finally puts Justin Baldoni's name in the center of the story instead of Blake Lively's.You'll also hear the other side of the NBC 'Heartfelt or Creepy' headline — the crisis consultant (a onetime Harvey Weinstein rep) who called the video creepy and pointless — and why I disagree: Baldoni is in reputation repair, he needs to be hireable again, and in this game you need to have the last word.Chapters:0:00 No publicist, no People magazine — the whole move2:40 Two years of Baldoni v.

The original “Reputation era” belonged to this week's Doll, Dusty Springfield!Born in post-war Britain to a Scottish father and Irish mother, Mary O'Brien was never going to be a good little Catholic schoolgirl; neither would she be content in a family band. Dusty Springfield was born to be in the spotlight. No government or journalist was going to box her into a corner! And no man - or woman - could tie her down. The worlds she created in songs like “Spooky,” “The Look of Love,” “Just A Little Lovin',” and of course “Son of a Preacher Man” were tender and sultry, like her “microphone voice.” She rarely belted, but did she really have to? Bask in Dusty's greatness, be charmed by her wit, revel in her resurrection, and enjoy and a career-spanning retrospective of this beloved “bicon.” “Dusty Springfield: The Many Lives of Mary O'Brien” is available wherever you stream your podcasts

In the wake of the recently-announced "Sauvy B" from Trinchero Family Wine and Spirits and famed winemaker Joel Gott, Adam, Joanna, and Zach discuss whether wine-based RTDs, particularly those that proclaim their wine affiliations proudly, can serve as a bridge, particularly for younger drinkers, from RTDs to wine, especially bottled wine. Will loving a Sauvignon Blanc-based canned spritz eventually convince someone to order a glass of wine at a restaurant, or pick up a bottle to have at home?

Reputation isn't your shadow anymore. It's your operating system. It's no longer something you manage. It has already been decided, by AI, based on patterns inside your organization you may not even know exist. Most leaders still think about reputation the old way: crisis plans, issue management, damage control after the fact. But AI now reads every signal a company puts out and connects them across every location and every stakeholder, drawing its own conclusion about who you really are. A bad manager in one city used to stay local. Now it can become your global reputation by tomorrow morning.There is a scale that runs from head in the sand to full reputation architect, and most organizations are stuck somewhere in the middle, reacting instead of designing. This episode gets into why reputation now functions like a credit score, why one recent report put a seven trillion dollar number on it globally, and why the real work ahead is not protecting your brand but architecting the patterns underneath it, before AI does that job for you. Listen For3:35 Why should organizations stop managing reputation and start architecting it?5:13 How does reputation become operational currency across an organization?7:48 Why is brand more than a logo or a “cowboy hat”?10:45 How is AI becoming a stakeholder in your reputation?16:35 How can leaders tell if they are reacting, managing, or architecting reputation?Guest: Bonnie Caver, Reputation LighthouseLinkedIn | Website | Company LinkedInDoug DownsSubstack | Website | LinkedIn Subscribe to the Stories and Strategies PR podcast newsletter Are you a brand with a podcast that needs support?

HONEST BEFORE GOD – A Psalm 51 Moment I have been asked several times over the past few months how someone can support the podcast, and where they can find the music, books, and other resources from this ministry. If you know me very well, you know this is not something that comes naturally to me. I have. But I do want to mention that while I have the privilege of serving as pastor at Sunrise Chapel, the podcast, music, writing, and publishing are a separate ministry that the Lord has allowed me to develop over the years. If you have ever wanted to encourage that work, you can find my books, music, and other resources at thisisthelifepodcast.net. One of the newest resources available is my book, Honest Before God – A Psalm 51 Moment. More than anything, this book is an invitation. An invitation to stop pretending and start being Honest about where we are in our walk with the Lord. An invitation to stop carrying the weight of hidden burdens alone. An invitation to discover that God has never been looking for perfect people. He has always been looking for honest hearts. To me personally, Psalm 51 records one of the most personal prayers in all of Scripture. David came to a place where excuses no longer mattered. His Image no longer mattered. Reputation no longer mattered. Standing before God with a sincere and broken heart became the only thing that mattered. That is where healing begins.

What does your reputation say about you?

Discover how your character, conduct, and commitment to God can become your greatest testimony in the workplace, at school, and in everyday life.#AGoodReputation #CITAMChurchOnline #ChurchEveryday

What does it look like to have devotion toward God? Pastor Josh explores the kind of devotion that actually pleases God and three spiritual disciplines we all should practice. 

Rahab's story is proof that God can transform any past into a powerful testimony. In Joshua 2, discover how God works before we arrive, how His grace creates a new legacy, and why genuine faith always leads to action. This message will encourage you to trust God's redemption and boldly live out your faith.

Today's podcast continues our discussion of the structural failure at the former Pfizer headquarters in Midtown Manhattan, where a massive office-to-residential conversion suffered localized structural distress during construction.The investigation has only begun. Engineers have not yet reached any conclusions about the root cause, and it would be inappropriate to speculate. The building may ultimately be repaired, strengthened, and safely completed. Or investigators may determine that more extensive reconstruction is required. We simply don't know.But even before the engineering investigation is complete, another consequence has already begun to unfold.Reputation.Real estate is built on confidence. Lenders finance confidence. Investors buy confidence. Insurance companies price confidence. Residents lease confidence.When confidence disappears, value disappears.We saw this after the collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida. The tragedy permanently changed how buyers viewed aging condominium buildings. Reserve studies became front-page news. Deferred maintenance became a deal breaker. Insurance premiums exploded. Financing became more difficult. Thousands of condominium owners across Florida found themselves facing six-figure special assessments simply because the market had fundamentally re-priced structural risk.Whether fair or not, that event changed public perception.------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

aBlogtoWatch Weekly is back on the main aBlogtoWatch YouTube channel with new releases every Friday!- https://www.youtube.com/@ablogtowatch This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly Rolex takes center stage, but not exactly in the way it would have hoped. Ariel, David, and Ripley dive into David's controversial look at the Rolex Yacht Master 42 in RLX Titanium, discussing whether the brand's reputation has outgrown its execution and why expectations matter when you're charging luxury prices. They also compare the genuine Yacht Master to a remarkably convincing fake, leading to a broader conversation about finishing, manufacturing quality, and what buyers should actually expect from a premium watch.From there, the mood lightens with Hublot's colorful new Summer Big Bang collection, Marathon's surprisingly tasteful America 250 limited edition, and Corum's return to coin watches. Along the way, the team debates busy dials, colorful ceramics, leather strap materials, and somehow ends up discussing coffee table books dedicated entirely to watch pushers.

For years, Chinese-foreign cooperative programs were seen as backup options for students who missed their top choice universities. Inflated tuition fees only fueled the perception that families were buying degrees from easy schools. But attitudes are changing. These programs are raising their game with cutting-edge majors and better quality. So are they finally shedding that reputation, and is the dual degree now worth the price? On the show: Fei Fei, Steve & Yushun

Perception has a habit of masquerading as truth, particularly in the workplace where people make sense of us through remarkably little evidence. We introverts often leave gaps that others are only too happy to fill with their own assumptions, and that can quietly shape our reputation long before we enter the room. In this episode, I explore where perception becomes useful data rather than a personal attack, how Byron Katie's liberating questions can stop us disappearing down defensive rabbit holes, and why managing our impact is not about performance but about quiet leadership. Perhaps the real work is not convincing everyone who we are. Perhaps it is becoming clearer about what is genuinely our business.   Key points

Welcome to the Personal Development Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we're talking about how to rebuild your life and career after your reputation has been challenged—and how to move forward with integrity, resilience, and confidence. Marisa Conway is a registered nurse, certified lifestyle medicine coach, author, and founder of Presence & Persistence Life Coaching. Drawing from more than a decade of experience in healthcare and her own lived experiences navigating profound personal adversity, Marisa helps individuals rebuild resilience, reclaim their identity, and move forward with purpose following life-altering challenges.Her work focuses on two often-overlooked subjects: parental alienation and identity disruption. Through her coaching, writing, and speaking engagements, Marisa explores how prolonged stress, family conflict, public scrutiny, professional setbacks, and distorted narratives can profoundly influence a person's sense of self. She believes that many individuals are judged by their reactions to difficult circumstances rather than understood within the context that produced them.Marisa is the author of Shattered Bonds, Resilient Heart. Her work challenges common assumptions about human behavior, resilience, and recovery, encouraging audiences to look beyond labels and simplistic explanations. She advocates for greater awareness of parental alienation within family law, healthcare, and public discourse, while also addressing the broader human experience of identity distortion following trauma, conflict, and prolonged adversity.A recurring theme throughout her work is what she describes as "The Misinterpretation Loop"—the tendency for people to be defined by incomplete stories, isolated moments, or exaggerated character assessments rather than by the complexity of their lived experiences. She believes that human beings are far more complicated than the narratives often assigned to them and that recovery begins when individuals learn to separate their identity from the circumstances that have shaped them.Through coaching, speaking, and advocacy, Marisa's mission is to help others rediscover their strength, challenge limiting narratives, and build meaningful lives despite loss, misunderstanding, or adversity. Her message is ultimately one of hope: that while difficult experiences can alter the course of a life, they do not have to define the person living it.Connect with Here: https://www.facebook.com/marisa.conway.9www.linkedin.com/in/marisa-conway-61663328bhttps://www.instagram.com/marisakconway/https://marisakconway.com/Grab the freebie here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pzv9QmbDkTg6pmTlnIZQZLmsezdTQfzE/view?usp=sharing===================================If you enjoyed this episode, remember to hit the like button and subscribe.

This week, we're putting our Taylor Swift knowledge to the ultimate test with TWO fan-inspired games that quickly spiral into complete mayhem. First, we attempt to identify Taylor songs from just a fraction of a second of audio. Will we recognize the classics or will panic completely erase years of Swiftie training?Then things get even more treacherous.Inspired by our lobster Krista from Alabama, we take on a blind ranking challenge featuring Taylor's legendary Track 6 "whiplash" songs—the upbeat, chaotic tracks that follow the emotional devastation of Track 5. Without knowing what's coming next, we have to rank songs like You Belong With Me, 22, Mirrorball, Midnight Rain, I Think He Knows, But Daddy I Love Him, Look What You Made Me Do, and more.The results? Questionable. The regrets? Immediate.Along the way, we hear sweet messages from listeners, debate whether Mirrorball deserves top-tier status, and expose which Taylor songs we're willing to defend with our lives.Which Track 6 will we put in the top spot? Featuring Taylor Swift trivia, Track 6 rankings, Swiftie debates, fan shout-outs, Easter eggs, The Tortured Poets Department, Midnights, Lover, 1989, Reputation, and plenty of laughs along the way.What did we miss?

This Episode Pat Zingarella joins Chris Lopez to share the story behind Invest Clearly, a platform built to bring more transparency to the private real estate investing world. Pat's journey started like many BiggerPockets listeners: learning through podcasts, buying his first small multifamily property, making painful mistakes, and slowly realizing how hard it can be for LPs to know who they can trust. Pat walks through the lessons from his first fourplex, including inherited tenants, COVID-era nonpayment, poor screening decisions, and the difference between blaming real estate versus recognizing where his own due diligence fell short. He also shares how a later experience working under a high-profile real estate figure exposed him to the darker side of the industry and helped shape his view that LPs need better tools, better transparency, and better ways to validate sponsors before wiring capital. Chris and Pat dig into how Invest Clearly works today: a directory of GPs, verified LP reviews, proof-of-investment requirements, and a growing database designed to help investors compare sponsor experiences in one place. They also discuss why reviews matter, what happens when operators try to suppress negative feedback, and why community-driven transparency can help separate strong sponsors from bad actors. Key takeaways: How Pat went from BiggerPockets listener to active investor to building Invest Clearly What his first fourplex taught him about screening, reserves, trust, and due diligence Why private real estate needs more transparency around GP track records and LP experiences How Invest Clearly verifies reviews and helps LPs research sponsors Why negative reviews, legal threats, and transparency are becoming bigger issues in the industry How communities like PassivePockets and tools like Invest Clearly can help LPs make better-informed decisions Join a community of passive investors.

[3:55] We talk about the Risk Management impact of social media, AI, and deepfake technologies on operations and profits, and how employee activity online and off the clock can ripple through staffing, operations, morale, productivity, profits, and brand image.  [4:10] This episode is a year in the making. Let's get to it! [4:12] Interview! Jeff McKissack, Welcome to RIMScast! [4:29] Jeff has a strong history with RIMS and the RIMS Texas Chapters. He has spoken at DFW RIMS on several occasions. Jeff Strege brought Jeff down to speak at Houston RIMS. He spoke at a couple of conferences co-hosted by South Texas RIMS. [4:59] Last year, Jeff was at the Inaugural Texas Regional RIMS Conference in San Antonio. He's there again this year. [5:15] Jeff loves RIMS, in general, because he doesn't have to explain himself. When he speaks to HR or risk management, his two favorite positions, even above the C-Suite, risk managers and HR directors totally get what he does and why.  [5:34] Jeff says the common response he typically gets is they've never met anybody who does what he does or speaks the language he speaks. He's heard it for 39 years. He loves speaking to people in risk and insurance companies because he speaks the language of liability. [5:54] Jeff does a lot of work with attorneys, as well, on both sides. He tells folks he's trilingual because of all these different industries. He's multifaceted. [6:06] Jeff talks about years of working with risk professionals and feeling their pain points. He reverse-engineers many of those scenarios. He asks, Where are the points where this could have been prevented, or at the bare minimum, mitigated? [6:43] A president of an association of independent electrical contractors called him for help. He asked, You have people working hours, in isolated locations, with expensive equipment on their trucks? What could go wrong? Without much of a push, he's able to jump in and help. [7:20] Jeff says there are only three types of businesses: businesses that have internal employees, businesses that have external employees, and businesses that have both. The risks for those three categories are very different from each other. [7:40] Jeff explains some of the differences in risks between having internal employees operating equipment and external employees in trucks on the road with equipment. There are different security concerns, risk concerns, and liability concerns. Address all the concerns. [8:16] Jeff recently saw a police video of a dump truck plowing through an intersection, with its brakes out, into a ravine. Fortunately, no one was killed. Why did the brakes give out? Who was responsible for checking them? They dodged a major bullet by nobody being injured or killed. [9:11] Jeff says he has three wheelhouses: physical risk, data risk, and reputational risk. He doesn't do active shooter training. He deals with factors that can lead to an active shooter before the shooting happens. He deals in prevention, not in reaction. [9:42] Jeff doesn't deal in cybersecurity but in data. He doesn't talk about people who hack your computers; he talks about people who hack your people. That bleeds over into reputation management. [9:57] Reputation management, with the internet and social media, has taken on a different dynamic. [10:07] Either your employees go online and self-incriminate themselves by putting something out there to the world that reflects upon your company, or they do something off the clock that can still have an impact on your company and its reputation. [10:22] Jeff mentions two courtrooms that we want to avoid: an actual courtroom, and the court of popular opinion. [11:01] Jeff says some things before social media still ended up being headline stories in the traditional media that reflected negatively upon employers. Social media has massively amplified that dynamic. [11:31] Jeff's talk is about how reputation management is impacting risk management. It will be held on August 11th at 1:45 p.m. during the RIMS Texas Regional Conference 2026. It examines how reputation management and risk management increasingly overlap. [11:53] Jeff says risk management and HR management often think that whatever happens off the clock is not on them — until it is. There was an Assistant District Attorney some months ago who walked out of a bar "two out of three sheets to the wind." [12:17] The cops wanted her to get an Uber and go home. She made a huge scene about it, captured on the bodycams. She ended up being arrested. "You don't know who I am. You can't do this to me!" The next day, not only was she fired, she lost her license. [12:33] There are YouTube channels devoted to police bodycams. People and companies suffer the reputational consequences of those videos. Once they're on YouTube, they go viral. [12:54] A lot of channels have hundreds of thousands to millions of views, reflecting on a company's public image, even though it was one of their employees off the clock. [13:40] Jeff says the biggest thing is education and training. We think people know what we know and the way we think. No, they don't. Jeff compares it to schools teaching social ills. As risk managers, you need to teach employees responsibility if you want to change their behavior. [14:40] Jeff says, Do not expect what you do not inspect. [14:50] A Quick Break! There are so many other wonderful RIMS events coming up in 2026. The Annual Florida RIMS Educational Conference will be held from July 28th through August 1st at the lovely Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida. A link to the event is in this episode's show notes.

[16:49] Be on the lookout for an announcement about submissions for the RIMS Global ERM Award of Distinction. Visit RIMS.org/ERM2026.  [17:00] Let's Return to Our Interview with Jeff McKissack! [17:07] Jeff says some of these reputational concerns have been C-Suite executives. Jeff just taught about a mayor arrested in Kentucky for shoplifting a $70 pair of shorts at a department store. Jeff guesses the mayor felt he was owed those shorts. [17:32] Last week, Jeff was talking about a city manager in Texas who felt it was a good idea, when she took her employees to a conference, to take them to a local strip club that night. After a few drinks, she got up on stage and started dancing around the pole. [17:46] Somebody recorded that and put it on social media, and the city manager got fired. City managers aren't easy to come by. In risk management, we have to understand that when these types of things occur, they impact multiple areas, both immediately and simultaneously. [18:05] These incidents affect staffing, operations, morale, productivity, profits, and public image. Every one of those six areas has associated dollar figures. This is why reputation management now must be taken into consideration under risk management. [18:50] Jeff says if I get an employee compromised in a controversial, scandalous, or criminal situation, whether I capture them on camera, or if I create the environment for said compromise to occur, and I set them up to be on camera, do I have them in the palm of my hand? [19:25] Reputational concerns, if they're not addressed and talked about before, and an employee gets caught in something that happens or was made to happen, it can be used as blackmail to have them do things internally because they have access that outside parties want. [20:08] About a year ago, Jeff says a case made national news of a high school principal who was facing the wrath of his community because of a racial rant he was supposedly caught saying as the principal of a school with minority students. [20:27] It came out that the athletic director had taken a digital sample of the principal's voice, maybe from a voicemail, and created an entire verbal tirade from scratch. That was proven through forensics. [20:47] Meanwhile, the principal had almost lost his job and career and was facing physical threats to his family from the public over something that had never happened. That showed Jeff we were entering a new atmosphere. [21:03] Jeff says, Sora 2, one of the newer AI video platforms,  has already been called out for causing problems for police because people are creating videos of real people committing not-so-real crimes. With AI, it looks real. [21:19] Jeff describes a hypothetical situation where an AI video would be used to charge an employee of a crime, leading to an arrest and a record. Think of the liabilities you and your company would face. None of those are cheap. [22:02] Justin asks about verifying the legitimacy of a video. Jeff says there is software out there that does a pretty good job of figuring out if this video is AI-generated. [22:32] What camera captured the action? Was it an internal, company-owned camera, or something someone supposedly captured on a phone camera? One of those is more susceptible to manipulation. [22:53] Now, you have to be a little bit skeptical. Never has there been a more important time in our history to live by the adage, "Innocent until proven guilty." Jeff says a healthy dose of skepticism is called awareness. [23:50] Everybody has vulnerabilities. The first step in preventing a lot of these things from occurring is recognizing your own vulnerabilities, stereotypes, and false premises. Jeff says stereotyping is judging based on appearances; profiling is judging based on behaviors. [24:26] Jeff says you almost have to go into this blind, deaf, and dumb to do a true, analytical, unbiased evaluation. [24:34] Sponsorships! You can sponsor a RIMScast episode for this, our weekly show, or a dedicated episode. RIMScast is proud of its longstanding relationships with AXA XL, Global Risk Consultants, Alliant, Zurich, and more. [24:57] Links to many of these episodes are in the show notes. RIMScast sponsorships can be bundled with whitepapers and webinar sponsorships.

[25:18] Reach out to Ted Donovan at  TDonovan@RIMS.org or Sales@RIMS.org. Let's find the best opportunity for you and your organization. [25:30] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Jeff McKissack! [25:54] You can't do anything about the various AI generation platforms out there. People, for the most part, are using them for all the right reasons. The thing you have to be concerned about is if it's used to accuse someone of something. [26:10] Jeff describes speaking to the Society of Government Meeting Professionals. They are meeting planners for all the alphabet agencies, the Department of War, FAA, CDC, and more. Jeff has spoken at their annual conference for years. [26:26] Jeff told them, you're bringing all these people here for an annual conference at one place, at one time, under one roof. Who do you think might want to compromise someone there, so that by the time they return home, they've been puppeteered? [26:44] Jeff is getting these meeting planners to start thinking about security in a different way, and educating the people. [26:50] "Hey, we love having you here, but when you go out to bars and restaurants, here are some things you need to think of, because some people here may know who you are and what you represent by way of access." [26:38] Jeff says, if something happens, and they get lured back to a hotel room, for various things, and they get slipped a Mickey and pass out, and a couple of weeks later they get a video by text or email, they don't even know if it's a deep fake or not because they were blacked out. [27:27] These are things we all have to understand how easy it is. Jeff constantly admonishes employees, when he speaks at that level, to remember it's not about them. They may not have wealth, but they absolutely represent access to things that people want. [27:48] You have to understand that you may have a target on your back you don't realize you have. When people approach you, ask yourself, does everything that happens in Vegas stay in Vegas? Or does it stay on social media and YouTube? YouTube remembers. [28:50] Jeff shares something from his presentation. The first step is not the stopping point. The first step is "Do you have a social media agreement in writing that your employees have signed?" If not, you, HR, and your General Counsel need to get together and word-smith it, ASAP. [29:18] Jeff says he talked to a VP of a company with over 8,000 employees. When the VP was hired as a VP, he was paid to sign two documents. He was paid $50 to sign the NDA, so he wouldn't take the sales list if he left. He was paid $100 to sign their social media agreement. [29:39] The company was more concerned about him doing something that impacted its public image than about taking the client list. First step is to wordsmith that agreement and how you incorporate it into a Code of Conduct as far as the off-the-clock expectations. [30:08] Jeff shares a case from New York City where a young sitting judge had an OnlyFans page. He was fired for it and tried to fight it. He lost because the verbiage in the City Manual for his position said: "extra-judicial activities … do not detract from the dignity of judicial office." [31:02] Jeff spoke at a risk management conference. He showed three lawsuits that were settled in the last two weeks: $125K, $225K, $485K for employees at state and government universities, entities, and institutions over the Charlie Kirk assassination. They had been fired.  [31:20] They came back and sued for wrongful termination and got settlements because there was nothing written that dictated employee behaviors online. [31:45] You've got to have the paper trail or digital trail. If it's not in the Employee Handbook, add it as an addendum they sign, and put it in their file. [31:57] Next year, when new hires come on board, have it as part of the Employee Handbook, whether it's the social media agreement and/or your expectations/code of conduct. At the bare minimum, have those things in order. That's your starting point. [32:40] Jeff says when you hire someone, treat the Handbook like the Apple Agreement. Going into detail about the policy is best addressed in education and training. [32:59] Jeff talks not only to executives but also to employees. The biggest thing he is trying to get HR, Risk Management, and the C-Suite to understand is that if you're going to alter the behaviors, you've got to teach them what to do otherwise. [33:30] You're not going to get your employees to go cold-turkey on social media, but you can teach them to apply critical thinking skills so that they police themselves and you don't have to. [33:45] You have to do it in a way that tells them what's in it for them. People expect them to come home with a paycheck. Tell them all their plans can be interrupted if they do something foolish now. [34:39] Sometimes, Jeff does not have time in the session to take questions from the audience. He always tells folks he'll be around in the hallways because they may have questions they don't want to ask in front of everybody else there. Or, reach out to him on LinkedIn, or call him. [35:22] In this arena, a lot of people don't want to put out their concerns. Justin says Jeff is very approachable. He wears a hat, and it has become a branding point for him. Justin asked him for a headshot with the hat, to make him more recognizable, because people know him in Texas. [36:58] Justin asks about other cases involving social media outside of work. Jeff refers to the city manager who was let go because of a pole dance that showed up on YouTube, and the shoplifting mayor, also on YouTube. The judge had a side gig that was questionable behavior. [37:35] Jeff says some teachers have been fired over video where they had their kids in the background in the classroom while they were twerking, or dancing with kids. One teacher had his students give him a haircut in the classroom. [37:51] Jeff recalls the wording cited from the City Handbook about the dignity of the office. That covers a lot. Things like that are subjective, but most people know it when they see it. [38:15] Justin asks if we're in a society where you have to live your life assuming that everything is going to be broadcast? Jeff wouldn't say broadcast, but at least captured on camera. [38:25] When Jeff is doing employee training, he goes through cameras that are on the market. You're only thinking of the cameras you see. You are not thinking of cameras that could be out there, recording you. The ATM captures you and looks across the street. [38:52] When Jeff parks in maybe a questionable area, he always tries to find a Tesla. On average, there are seven or eight cameras around that Tesla. He'll take a picture of the license plate of the Tesla next to him, so if anything happens, he can give the picture to the cops. [39:38] Jeff says he relays to people, executives and employees alike, strategies, critical thinking. How do you use technology to your favor instead of having it used against you?

As we continue our More Wisdom, More Life series, Pastor Jamie explores Proverbs 22:1–2 and what it truly means to have a good name. He contrasts the exhausting pursuit of approval from others and ourselves with the lasting identity found in God alone. Through the gospel, we discover that our worth isn't earned by our performance but received through Jesus, who exchanges his perfect reputation for our broken one.

"Send us a message!"Why do stylists choose one salon over another?Most owners think hiring starts when they post a job ad. We don't.In this episode, we explain why the strongest salons attract great people long before they ever have an opening. We discuss reputation, relationships, education, leadership, opportunity, culture, and why becoming known for something meaningful matters far more than offering snacks, perks, or calling yourself "luxury."We also share lessons from building Hello Hair Co., mistakes we made along the way, and why we believe hiring isn't really about recruiting, it's about becoming the kind of business people genuinely want to join.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And the best teams are built long before anyone submits an application.Key TakeawaysHiring begins long before you have an open chair.Strong reputations attract stronger candidates. Education should build independent professionals, not copies of you. Every new stylist needs training—even experienced ones. Relationships compound into future hiring opportunities. Great salons sell opportunity, not perks. Modern stylists are looking for leadership, growth, and purpose. Hire for character and values before technical ability. Reputation is built through consistent actions over time. The best salons become magnets instead of marketers.Time Stamps00:00 — Opening takes + the myth of "luxury" salons 06:00 — Why hiring starts long before you need staff 08:00 — Building relationships before recruiting 10:00 — Lessons from our first salon 12:00 — Reputation matters more than job ads 13:00 — Why education attracts great stylists 15:00 — Recruiting vs. becoming a magnet 16:00 — Why every stylist needs training 18:00 — The questions Tier A owners ask 19:00 — Stop blaming the next generation 20:00 — Understanding what modern stylists actually want 23:00 — Teaching principles instead of techniques 27:00 — Why people join a future, not just a salon 29:00 — Hiring for values instead of technical skill 30:00 — Building opportunities beyond your own expertise 31:00 — Perks vs. real opportunity 35:00 — The biggest mistake we made when opening Hello Hair 36:00 — Relationships create future hiring opportunities 40:00 — Becoming the salon people hope has an openingLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Today's episode is basically us sitting down and shooting the sheesh

  The Philippics, a Tragic Alliance, and a Heroic End. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. In the chaotic aftermath of Caesar's death, Cicero delivered the Philippics to trash Mark Antony's reputation. In an attempt to destroy Antony, Cicero formed an alliance with Caesar's young heir, Octavian. He believed he could use the boy to further his own political goals, but this strategy backfired. Octavian eventually joined forces with Antony and Lepidus, and together they ordered Cicero's execution as an act of vengeance for Caesar. Legend says that Cicero faced his death heroically, extending his neck to the soldiers sent to kill him. This account was likely perpetuated by his loyal secretary, Tiro, who published Cicero's works after his death. Two thousand years later, Cicero's writings remain a staple for students of Latin and rhetoric. His speeches are still valued for their entertainment value and their insightful political put-downs. His life serves as a testament to the high stakes and theatrical nature of Roman political life, illustrating the end of a republic and the birth of an empire. 8SULLA
