Brandon Thor walked away from managing $400 million on Wall Street to launch Thor Metals Group, a company built on education and transparency about gold and silver investing. He exposes how traditional finance and government debt have distorted money's true value, and why gold remains the most reliable measure of wealth in history.In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Brandon breaks down how the U.S. moved off the gold standard, why the dollar's strength is fading, and how economic shifts and global alliances are reshaping financial security. He explains why most Americans overlook precious metals, how crypto distracted investors, and why he believes owning gold and silver is critical for protecting real wealth today. Quotes: “Gold and silver have never gone to zero, and never will. You can't print them, and that's exactly why they hold value.” “Crypto was marketed as digital gold, but it's the opposite. Gold protects your wealth. Crypto gambles with it.” “If you believe the government will pay off its debt and the world will live in peace, don't buy gold. Otherwise, you might want to think again.” “The system hates investments where you're the only one who benefits. That's what gold and silver represent—sovereignty.” Resources: Connect with Brandon Thor on LinkedIn Visit Brandon Thor's Website Follow Brandon Thor on Instagram

Marcia Ballinger, co-author of The 20-Minute Networking Meeting and author of Winning the Executive Interview, brings decades of experience in executive search and human resources. She specializes in recruiting nonprofit CEOs and helping professionals master relationship-building, interviewing, and networking. Marcia explains that interviewing is not about performance or selling yourself, but about authentic, relational conversations that help both sides assess fit. She shares insights from years of observing real interviews, offering a rare look at what hiring leaders truly think when candidates leave the room. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Marcia reveals how to approach interviews as high-stakes, million-dollar decisions, where listening, curiosity, and confidence matter more than rehearsed answers. She breaks down the four types of interview questions—skills, style, risk mitigation, and logistics—and explains how to answer each effectively. Marcia emphasizes that the goal isn't just to “get the job,” but to find the right one. The candidates who win are those who stay calm, thoughtful, and discerning, proving that the most successful interviewees are the choosiest ones. Quotes: If you find yourself selling in an interview, close your folio, thank them, and leave. You're not getting the job.” “An interview is a million-dollar decision. The smartest candidates approach it like a consultant, not a salesperson.” “Winning the interview isn't about perfection. It's about having an authentic conversation and deciding if it's the right fit for both sides.” “The candidates who get the job aren't the loudest. They're the ones who listen, think, and stay curious.” Resources: Connect with Marcia Ballinger on LinkedIn Winning the Executive Interview on Amazon

If you've ever laid awake at 3AM, counting sheep, overanalyzing your life, and stressing that you'll be a zombie tomorrow, this episode, part 2 of our series on sleep, is one  you don't want to miss.Today, Susan and Kate sit down with the Dr. Christopher Winter, neurologist, sleep medicine specialist, and author of The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child. He's the go-to expert for pro athletes, firefighters, and anyone who's ever wondered, “What's wrong with my sleep?”But here's the twist: according to Dr. Winter, your sleep might not be “broken” at all. In fact, the way we think about sleep, our fears, expectations, and obsession with perfection, might be the real problem.This isn't another conversation about blue light and blackout curtains. Dr. Winter flips the script on everything you think you know about insomnia, sleep hygiene, and the infamous “8-hour rule.” You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might just stop fearing those restless nights once and for all.Because maybe, just maybe… your body knows exactly what it's doing.In this episode:Insomnia isn't a disease, it's a perception.  Most people who say they “can't sleep” are actually sleeping more than they realize.

When you stop fearing wakefulness, insomnia loses its power.This conversation will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about sleep, and maybe even help you stop fighting with your pillow.P.S.

In this episode, she explains how Logical Position supports brands from small startups to those generating over $50 million by managing PPC, Amazon, email, and social media campaigns.

I went into that industry thinking one thing and came out very, very different.” “If you're unwilling to take some risks when it comes to digital advertising, you're going to quickly fall behind.” “If you aren't there during the research phase, you sure as heck are not going to be there during the purchasing phase.” Resources: Connect with Karly Scott on LinkedIn Explore Karly Scott's expertise and professional insights

Misinformation is a growing problem, with most Americans worried about the reliability of online information. Dan Nottingham created Mi Credible.ai to help people navigate this landscape by providing a credibility score for statements. The tool uses multiple AI models to objectively analyze sources, offering a numerical score and an explanation so users can assess the accuracy of their content before sharing it. This approach helps reduce bias, promotes informed communication, and gives businesses and individuals a measurable way to maintain trust and credibility online. Mi Credible.ai can be used for business, social, and casual purposes, from validating marketing content to settling debates among friends. Users can input any statement to check its accuracy and receive a clear score, making credibility a key performance indicator. Nottingham envisions a future in which AI tools like this serve as impartial editors, helping people navigate misinformation with confidence. The platform is currently browser-based, with mobile apps in development, and encourages users to try it themselves to see how it can improve communication and decision-making. Quotes: “Everyone is a publisher, but not everyone is an editor. That's where credibility tools come in.” “Credibility shouldn't be a buzzword; it should be a KPI for your business.” “It's not enough to be right—you have to persuade.” Resources: Connect with Dan Nottingham on LinkedIn Credibility starts with you

The next decade of mental health innovation won't be defined by who builds the best product, but by who anticipates the policy pathways that bring it to scale. In this episode, Kacie Kelly, Chief Innovation Officer at Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute, explores how behavioral health startups can bridge the gap between early traction and national scalability by viewing policy as a strategic growth tool rather than merely a compliance requirement. She reflects on a recent Washington, DC, event that united over 60 tech and policy leaders to tackle barriers to scaling tech-enabled, measurement-informed care. The discussion spanned topics such as AI in mental health, workforce trust in technology, and the importance of constructive dialogue between innovators and policymakers. Kacie highlights that policy determines who pays for what, when, and how, urging founders to build reimbursement strategies early and leverage programs like HeadsUp to navigate policy landscapes and accelerate growth through federal initiatives.

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton welcomes Alex Pillow, Senior Director of Partnerships & Acquisitions (Corporates & Government Unit) at Moody's and host of the podcast KYC Decoded, for a practical breakdown of how “know your customer” (KYC), third-party due diligence, and third-party risk management map directly onto modern supply chain realities. Alex demystifies integrated risk assessment, connects KYC practices to supplier onboarding and end-tier visibility, and shares where orchestration logic and high-quality data (master data management, beneficial ownership, and external risk signals) meaningfully cut time-to-decision.Alex explores today's most active threat patterns: organized fraud at scale, cyber supply-chain intrusions, and freight fraud, and how to translate visibility into action with clear mitigation pathways. Alex also spotlights lessons from investigative journalism (think massive crypto heists executed via vendor compromises), a “good team vs. bad team” mindset for program design, and why continuous improvement or the “infinite game” is the only sustainable posture for risk leaders.

Garner uses a “Marketing Domination Framework” to build, fill, and optimize sales funnels, turning skilled professionals into recognized industry leaders while capturing and nurturing leads effectively.

Our information environment has become a social determinant of health. In this episode, Joshua Sharfstein, a public health leader and professor at Johns Hopkins, and Joanne Kenen, journalist in residence at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, discuss how the collapse of local journalism, the design of social media algorithms, and politicization have created an “information sickness” that undermines personal and public health. They explain that traditional reporting once filtered out false claims through rules and accountability, while today's engagement-driven platforms reward emotional misinformation that quickly becomes “sticky.” The guests explore the consequences of vaccine refusal, fractured families, and the urgent need for remedies, such as embedding misinformation experts in health agencies, utilizing trusted platforms, and fostering community trust. They emphasize that artificial intelligence will both fuel and fight misinformation, demanding institutional adaptation. Ultimately, they urge individuals to maintain an informed news diet and practice empathy across information divides, reminding listeners that public health must serve everyone, even those who disagree. Tune in to learn practical ways to counter health misinformation, from rapid pre-bunking to community partnerships and smarter use of AI!

You can train six days a week and still not lose fat and it's not your fault.For decades, we've been told to “move more and eat less,” but that advice doesn't hold up anymore. Our food system has completely changed, and so has the way our metabolism responds to it. Ultra-processed foods are everywhere; cheap, convenient, and biologically addictive and they are undoing the work we put in at the gym. Once you understand that fat loss is driven by what you eat, not how hard you work out, you can finally start working with your body instead of against it.Stick around, this one might change how you think about fat loss forever.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview01:39 – Podcast Intro02:30 – The Global Study Explained04:10 – Why “Move More, Eat Less” Fails06:00 – The Body Rebalances Energy Use07:30 – Processed Foods: The Real Culprit09:50 – How Processed Foods Trick the Brain11:50 – “Healthy” Snacks That Sabotage Progress13:40 – What Processed Foods Do to Digestion15:30 – Metabolism Breakdown in Modern Diets18:00 – The Real Value of Exercise19:40 – Why Muscle Changes Everything22:10 – Fat Loss Isn't About Calorie Burn24:30 – 3 Pillars: Food, Movement, Recovery26:50 – When Training Less Helps More28:40 – Aligning Habits With Your Biology29:44 – Final Thoughts & Free ResourcesLinks & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben's coaching program: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgT Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@bodysystemscoaching Book Free Nutrition Strategy Call - https://bodysystems.com/free-strategy-call/

Ambassador James Franklin Jeffrey takes listeners inside the world of U.S. diplomacy in the Middle East in his book Middle East Crises: Expeditionary Diplomacy with the Bush, Obama, and Trump Teams. He shares firsthand experiences negotiating with world leaders, managing conflicts, and making split-second decisions that shaped American foreign policy. From Iraq to Syria to Turkey, Jeffrey reveals how diplomacy, strategy, and careful decision-making prevent crises from escalating. In this episode, Jeffrey discusses lessons from his decades-long career, including serving under three presidents, bridging military and diplomatic efforts, and guiding U.S. policy in some of the world's most volatile regions. Listeners will gain insight into crisis management, leadership under pressure, and the personal habits that contributed to his success. This conversation offers both an insider's view of diplomacy and practical strategies for decision-making. Quotes: “Presidents make all the hard decisions, but we can give them advice, and most importantly, we can give them confidence that we can carry out whatever they decide.” “Try lots of base runs and walks… you make the outage very slowly. You do base runs, not home runs, to make it on the margins better.” “Even the most powerful country can only influence what other nations decide to do with their lives; progress happens at the margins.” “Your decisions of any consequence… you rationally look at the options, quickly review the situation, compare alternatives, communicate, and execute vigorously.” Resources: Connect with Ambassador James Jeffrey on LinkedIn Get the book Middle East Crises: Expeditionary Diplomacy with the Bush, Obama, and Trump Teams by James Franklin Jeffrey on Amazon
