New Zealand’s housing market has taken another step backwards. Property values have now fallen for six months in a row, with the national median value dropping below the previous cycle low. And while buyers have more choice and bargaining power, there’s still little sign of a sharp rebound - with high mortgage rates, economic uncertainty and plenty of houses on the market keeping a lid on prices. So, what’s happening in the housing market, and how much longer could this subdued period last? Today on The Front Page, Cotality NZ chief property economist Kelvin Davidson is with us to break it all down.

Let's know what you liked and learnt! As AI takes on more of the coding, where can software engineers make the biggest difference?In this episode of ContraMinds, engineering leader and researcher Annie Vella joins Swami to explore a shift from writing code to understanding business problems, working closer to customers, and guiding AI to build software that meets their needs. Drawing on her research, Annie introduces “supervisory engineering”: directing AI, evaluating its output, and correcting it. She also examines a growing tension: engineers need experience to judge AI-generated code, but how do they gain that experience when AI does more of the work?A conversation about the future of engineering, the limits of manual code review, and why human judgment matters as much as ever.5 Key TakeawaysMove closer to the business: Understand customer needs and decide which problems software should solve.Build skills in supervising AI: Direct, evaluate, and correct its work.Rethink quality assurance: Manual code review cannot keep pace with AI-generated output.Keep developing expertise: Engineers need practical experience to judge whether AI's work is sound.Retain human judgment: Faster code generation doesn't guarantee the right solution.About Annie VellaAnnie Vella is an engineering leader, researcher, and advisor with more than two decades of experience across nearly a dozen industries and four countries. Formerly a Distinguished Engineer at Westpac New Zealand, she now works independently at the intersection of AI adoption, governance, software engineering, and systems thinking. Her research explores how AI coding assistants are reshaping engineers' work, skills, and careers, and she writes and speaks internationally on the future of the profession.Timestamps00:00 Introduction02:53 How Is AI Changing Software Engineering?05:26 What Does a Software Engineer's New Role Look Like?09:16 If AI Does the Work, How Will Engineers Gain Experience?14:37 How Do We Ensure Quality When AI Generates Code Faster Than Humans Can Review It?20:32 Will Engineers Move From Writing Code to Solving Business Problems?26:29 Will Tomorrow's Software Engineers Become Systems Engineers?33:28 What Makes Software Engineering Feel Like a Passion Rather Than a Job?

Most people read all day without realizing how much time it is costing them.Emails, reports, messages, articles, research, books, and online information all require the same core skill: reading. And if you can improve that skill, you can process information faster, stay focused longer, and get hours of your time back.In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I break down five practical strategies to help you become a faster, more effective reader across everything you read.I'll show you how to establish your reading baseline, use a visual pacer to reduce unnecessary backtracking, train your eyes to process groups of words instead of one word at a time, and use timed practice to steadily increase your speed. I also explain how pre-reading can help your brain process information more efficiently and how active recall helps you remember and use what you just read.In this episode, you will learn:✅ How to measure your current reading speed✅ Why subvocalization can slow down your reading✅ How metaguiding can improve speed, focus, and reading flow✅ How chunking trains your brain to process more information at once✅ Why speed reading is different from skimming✅ How to train yourself to read faster through timed practice✅ How pre-reading prepares your brain to process information more efficiently✅ Why active recall improves memory and retention✅ How saying what you learned out loud can deepen understanding✅ How to read emails, reports, articles, books, and other information more efficiently✅ How improving your reading speed can give you back hours of valuable timeAfter this episode, you'll have a practical system for training one of the skills you use every single day, helping you move through information faster, retain more of what matters, and free up more time.☀️Order my new book: https://limitlessdaily.com/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ready to Go Deeper? Welcome to the Reproductive Loss Leaders Room There's only so much we can explore in a podcast episode. You can hear a new perspective, discover something you weren't taught, or finally find language for something you've been noticing in your work. But then what? What do you do with what you now know? How does it apply to your work? What sits within your scope? What questions has the learning created? And where do you go when you want to continue the conversation rather than simply move on to the next episode, training or piece of information? That's why I created the Reproductive Loss Leaders Room. The Leaders Room is a professional membership for existing and aspiring practitioners supporting women across fertility, pregnancy, birth, grief, trauma, mental health, postpartum, nutrition, reproductive health and beyond. You do not need to identify as a pregnancy loss specialist to belong here. And you certainly don't need to become an expert in every aspect of reproductive loss care. The intention is different: Understand more of the whole.Know where you fit within it.Deepen the piece you choose to hold. Inside the Leaders Room, we move beyond simply acquiring more information. You'll have access to The Gap Series, where we reveal areas of reproductive loss care that may have been overlooked or absent from our professional training. You'll receive live mentorship and integration support from me, so you can explore what the learning means for the work you do. You'll learn from guest experts and specialist practitioners bringing different disciplines and perspectives into the room. You'll have access to a growing library of trainings and professional resources. And you'll be part of a community having deeper, multidisciplinary conversations about how we collectively advance reproductive loss care. Because I believe professional learning needs to go beyond education alone. Acquire the knowledge.Retain it through mentorship, discussion and continued exploration.Transfer it into your work. That's where knowledge starts becoming practice. And that's where change can begin. This isn't another space where pregnancy loss is one topic amongst many. In this room, reproductive loss IS the conversation.

Healthcare faces a global workforce crisis - but what if we're asking the wrong question about AI?Professor Daniel Baumgart joins Louise and George to argue that AI's greatest opportunity may not be replacing clinicians, but helping us keep them.They explore where AI is genuinely reducing workload, who should benefit from the ‘productivity dividend', and why layering AI onto dysfunctional workflows may simply accelerate the problem. Daniel also warns of an emerging risk: clinicians becoming deskilled as they increasingly rely on AI, creating a divide between those who understand and can challenge these systems and those who simply depend on them. Plus: what tomorrow's clinicians need to learn, why clinical judgement must remain human, and the two questions every health service should answer before buying an AI tool. Read Daniel's paper in The Lancet: Global advances in health artificial intelligence: a workforce imperative LinkConnect with Daniel on LinkedInVisit Pulse+IT.news to subscribe to breaking digital news, weekly newsletters and a rich treasure trove of archival material.

Canada has the resources. The question is whether we can turn them into lasting economic strength.On The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by Heather Exner-Pirot, a commentator on energy, natural resources, Indigenous economic development and economic security, to examine Canada's opportunity in a changing global economy.Heather argues that disruption in the Canada-U.S. relationship may be forcing Canada to confront decisions it has postponed for decades: diversifying markets, building pipelines and LNG infrastructure, developing critical minerals, expanding nuclear energy and processing more of our resources at home.Canada possesses enormous assets—oil, natural gas, uranium, potash, copper, gold, critical minerals, hydroelectricity and agricultural land—along with a reputation as a stable supplier. But possessing resources isn't enough. They have to be developed, transported and sold, with more of the value chain captured in Canada where economically viable.Brian and Heather discuss whether Canada can become an energy superpower, the opportunities surrounding uranium and nuclear power, Indigenous participation in major projects, regulatory barriers to investment and what it would take to get more Canadian resources to global markets.Then, in Part Two of Brian's special commentary, “What Canada Builds Now,” the conversation moves from diagnosis to prescription.The goal: turn uranium into industries, minerals into products, research into intellectual property, intellectual property into Canadian companies—and Canadian companies into global competitors.Own more. Build more. Compound more.Develop what we have. Build what we're missing. Improve productivity. Retain talent. Reach more markets. Remain a reliable partner—and avoid excessive dependence on any single one.Not less America. More world.The defining question for Canada's next forty years:What can Canada build that the world cannot easily replace?

For years I called medical weight loss a quick fix doomed to fail. In May 2024 I started seeing client results I could not ignore. I spent almost a year going up the chain of who the experts were learning from. Then I did the last thing I said I would never do: I ran a month of tirzepatide on myself.No side effects. The food noise went quiet. That is when I stopped arguing with the category and started building a system around it.This episode is the full story of that year:Why I modeled our 12-week program after a 90-day drug and alcohol clinicReset your metabolism, Rebuild your strength, Retain your resultsWhy fitness, nutrition, and accountability stay the foundationHow medical weight loss, peptide therapy, labs, and personalized nutraceuticals stack on top of that — only if they fitWhy “normal” labs are not the goalWhy I think in decades, not a 6-week challengeI also walk through what I have used myself, including NAD and glutathione, and why The Wellness Collective exists next to Applied Fitness: coach and doctor on the same page, under one roof, for adults over 40.If you want the edge for the next 20 to 40 years — not a summer cut — this is the journey.

Most studio owners don't spend randomly on purpose — they spend reactively. Something feels quiet, or a big enrolment push hits, and money goes out without a clear plan behind it.In this episode, I'm sharing the seasonal marketing framework I use to take the guesswork out of it. Your dance year already has natural seasons. Your budget should follow them.Here's the breakdown:Season 1, Retain and Thrive (September through December): Focus on re-enrolment and keeping your current families. Budget around 10 to 15 percent of revenue.Season 2, New Enrolment (January to February): Your biggest marketing season. New families are actively looking — show up strong. Budget around 20 percent.Season 3, Strengthen and Sustain (March to June): Consolidate. Loyalty programmes, referrals, personalised communication. Less spending, more depth. Budget 5 to 10 percent.Season 4, Innovate and Elevate (July to August): An underused season. I use this time to think bigger — new offerings, events, collaborations — and build momentum heading into the back half of the year. Budget around 15 percent.If you want to map this out for your own studio, come and talk to me about the Dance Studio Scaled Mastermind.Find me on Instagram at _jendalton_ or visit jendalton.com.au

Many West Virginians may not remember the name Doris “Dorie” Miller, but he served on the USS West Virginia when it was attacked at Pearl Harbor. While Miller was never trained to fight, he raced to the deck on the day of the attack and fought back - shooting down at least one enemy plane. In 2020, a new aircraft was commissioned by the U.S. Navy and named for Miller. But recent stories have surfaced with talk of renaming it after President Donald Trump. We speak with Scott Womack, the commander of American Legion Post 100 in Monroe, West Virginia, to discuss the group's recent resolution that the Navy should retain Miller's name on the ship. The post Efforts To Retain Name On Aircraft Carrier For W.Va. Cook, This West Virginia Morning appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

Season 5, Episode 32: Your First 1,000 Customers: The 24-Month Road MapEvery pest control owner wants more leads, but more leads alone don't build a successful pest control company.In Season 5, Episode 32 of the Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis gets back to the fundamentals and addresses one of the most common questions he hears from smaller pest control companies:"I want to grow, but where do I actually start?"If you have fewer than 100 recurring customers, it's easy to become overwhelmed by everything being sold online: SEO, Google Ads, LSA, Facebook leads, AI, CRM systems, websites, social media, and companies promising cheap leads and instant success.Instead of chasing the latest marketing tactic, Casey lays out a much simpler objective:Build your first 1,000 recurring customers.The first 24 months should focus on building the foundation of the Pest Control Success Pyramid: Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).The objective isn't simply generating transactions. It's systematically acquiring customers, converting them to recurring service, retaining 90% or more of them, and creating predictable revenue that you can build upon year after year.Why recurring customers should be the foundation of your businessThe road from fewer than 100 customers to 1,000+Why 1,000 recurring customers can transform a small pest control companyHow to calculate the leads and sales needed to reach your goalWhat to focus on during your first 90 daysWhen to invest in your website, SEO, Google Ads and LSAWhy you need a CRM and sales pipeline before aggressively buying leadsHow much a smaller company should consider investing in marketingWhy cheap leads aren't necessarily profitable leadsThe importance of tracking customer acquisition costHow phone skills and follow-up directly affect marketing ROIUsing reviews, referrals, email and SMS to accelerate growthWhen to increase your advertising investmentWhy 90%+ customer retention is critical to long-term growth1. MRR - Monthly Recurring RevenueBuild your foundation with recurring pest control customers.2. ARR - Annual Recurring RevenueAdd repeatable annual and seasonal services such as mosquito, termite renewals, flea and tick, rodent programs and other services appropriate for your market.3. One-Shot TreatmentsGenerate additional revenue from termites, bed bugs, rodents, wildlife, exclusions, and specialty services while looking for opportunities to convert those customers into recurring relationships.The lesson is simple:Don't build your company from the top of the pyramid down. Build the foundation first.If you're sitting at 50, 75 or 100 recurring customers, don't worry about the competitor with 10,000.Get to 250.Then 500.Then 750.Then 1,000 recurring customers.Build your website. Build your reputation. Create your CRM. Develop your sales process. Generate opportunities. Follow up. Measure acquisition costs. Deliver excellent service. Retain the customers you've worked so hard to acquire.There may not be a shortcut to building a great pest control company, but there absolutely can be a road map.Rhino Pest Control Marketing

Pflege am Limit: „Es gibt nicht den einen Hebel“ Bis 2030 fehlen in Österreich bis zu 100.000 Pflegekräfte – zugleich steigt die Zahl der über 85-Jährigen um fast die Hälfte. Zwei Kurven, die auseinanderklaffen wie eine Schere. Über diese Lücke spricht Sabine Pleschberger, Professorin für Pflegewissenschaft an der MedUni Wien, im Hörgang. Pleschberger warnt vor Alarmismus, beschönigt aber nichts: Der Notstand ist längst Alltag. Wer Pflege braucht, hört heute je nach Wohnort „Wir schicken morgen jemanden“ – oder „Wir können niemanden schicken.“ Ein Drittel der aktiven Kräfte geht bis 2030 in Pension und nimmt sein Erfahrungswissen mit. Menschen frühzeitig zu verlieren, sei ein Alarmsignal: „Da sollten alle Alarmglocken schrillen.“ Auffällig: 80 Prozent der Pflegebedürftigen werden zu Hause versorgt, rund eine Million Angehörige leisten diese Arbeit – oft zwischen Beruf und Familie zerrieben. Pleschbergers Antwort heißt Denken in Netzwerken: Caring Communities, Community Nursing, der „achtsame Bezirk“. Doch solche Modelle leben von befristeten Projekten. Es fehle politisches Commitment für dauerhafte Strukturen. Ihr Befund zum Berufsbild ist klar: Das Klischee der „Krankenschwester“ als Assistenzberuf hält sich hartnäckig – und steht der Anerkennung als eigenständige Gesundheitsprofession im Weg. Ihr Lösungsansatz sind die drei R: Recruit, Retain, Reform. Menschen gewinnen, sie im System halten, das System reformieren. Denn den einen Hebel, sagt sie, gibt es nicht – aber viele, die man klug verknoten muss.

It's Friday, September 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims killed 11 in Adamawa State On September 7, suspected Boko Haram Muslim terrorists murdered at least 11 people in Zaranga Village located in the Adamawa State in Nigeria, reports International Christian Concern. The attackers entered the community before dawn, shooting residents and setting houses ablaze. One heartbroken man said, “My wife and two of my family members were killed during the early morning invasion of my village.” No doubt Amos 5:24 is the prayer to God of Nigerian Christians today. “Let justice roll down like waters.” Please send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Nigerian Ambassador to America, Lateef Are, urging him to ask his government to do more to protect people from the unabated Muslim violence. Send it to the Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008. For the correct spelling of the Nigerian Ambassador's name and the address, look at our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.    Cubans are pushed to breaking point as crises take toll Sweltering nights. Water and power shortages. Dwindling fuel and crumbling homes. Limited public transportation and weak cellphone signals. The psychological toll of daily life in Cuba is pushing many to their breaking point on this island of nearly 10 million people, with no relief in sight as a U.S. energy embargo persists and longtime economic and financial troubles deepen, reports The Associated Press. Dr. Yomeidis Riverón said. “Before there was hope. Right now, what people have lost is exactly that.” Cuba's crises worsened after U.S. President Donald Trump announced in late January that he would impose tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to the Caribbean country. Longtime U.S. sanctions also have taken their toll. According to Communist Cuban Foreign Affairs Minister Bruno Parilla, from March 2025 to the end of February, “the U.S. policy of economic strangulation” amounted to more than $8 billion, a record figure. Island-wide blackouts have increased this year, and daily outages now surpass 24 hours. As a result, water is often scarce, and small protests have erupted, despite the fear of being detained, as anger and frustration boil over. The situation has worsened to a point that the U.S. Embassy recently issued two public health alerts about “the degradation of the water and energy infrastructure. ... Recent cases have included E. coli, norovirus, Shigella, and other gastrointestinal pathogens.” U.S. missionary to Cuba gives first account of the despair and hope Colleen Thoreson, a U.S. missionary to Cuba who serves with her husband Steve, has seen both the despair and the hope in Cuba. She said, “In Camagüey, [a city of 300,000,] the Cubans there are eating cats now and killing their horses for meat.” She added, “Forty percent of the pregnancies in Cuba end in abortion. Our team spends a lot of time in the big maternity hospital. Every month we continue to make a dent in that overall number of abortions. The majority of the pregnant women get born again before giving birth.” Her team, comprised primarily of Cuban believers, led 4,000 people to Christ in the hospitals alone last month. Luke 15:10 says, “There is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” First moments of the 9/11 Muslim terrorist attacks Twenty-five years ago today, at 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, Dick Oliver, a reporter for Good Day New York on WNYW-TV, uttered these shocking words on live television as he talked to the anchor, Jim Ryan. OLIVER: “Jim, just a few moments ago, something, believed to be a plane, crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. I just saw flames inside. You can see the smoke coming out of the, of the tower. We have no idea of what it was. It was a tremendous boom just a few moments ago. You can hear around me emergency vehicles heading towards the scene. Now, this could have been an aircraft or it could have been something internal. It appears to be something coming from the outside due to the nature of the opening on about 100th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center.” Minutes later, Dick Oliver observed this. OLIVER: “Now, the smoke coming out of the opening appears to be black smoke. This would indicate things that are burning inside. We have no idea of what happened. But we did hear what sounded like, sounded like an aircraft, and then, a tremendous boom. Now, I don't know whether we can confirm that that was an aircraft or not.” And then, for the first time, Fox 5 anchor Jim Ryan cited the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. RYAN: “One's memory has to go back to another terrorist attack — we would hope it is not this time, but if it were a plane that crashed into the side of the building — you would imagine that there would be something on the ground that would be visible. So…” OLIVER:  “That's true, Jim. I cannot see the ground from here. You recall back in, I believe, it was 1945 when a U.S. Air Force plane crashed into the, about the 80th floor of the Empire State Building during a foggy night. The skies here, as you can see, are perfectly clear. So, I'm starting to lean to the idea that perhaps, whatever happened here, came from the inside of the World Trade Center.” RYAN: “Something has either crashed into the World Trade Center. (Pause) Ah. If it. (Pause) We're, we're, I'm just told that Metro traffic is reporting that it was indeed a plane crash. If that's the case, ‘Where's the plane?' I would ask. I don't see it in that live picture there. One's thoughts, obviously, go back to a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center that created havoc there back in the early 90s.” On September 11, 2001, 19 Muslim terrorists hijacked four airplanes, two of which they flew into the World Trade Center towers. A third plane hit the Pentagon, which headquarters the Department of War, and the fourth, United Airlines Flight 93, which was likely destined to take out the Capitol, was downed in Pennsylvania by brave Americans who fought back. According to an audio recording, Todd Beamer famously said, “Are you guys ready? Let's roll!” before he helped storm the cockpit where the Muslim terrorists had hijacked the plane. All told, 2,996 Americans perished along with all 19 Muslim al-Qaeda terrorists. Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Court ruling for GOP-favorable Missouri map will help retain House And finally, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on September 8th against Missouri officials from using 2022 congressional maps for the midterm elections instead of the new Republican-favorable map used during the 2026 primary, reports The Daily Wire. The judge said using the old map would disenfranchise primary voters who had already cast their ballots in the primary.  Eastern District of Missouri Chief Judge Stephen Clark, a Trump appointee,  wrote, “Disenfranchising voters across the state and denying them their constitutional right to have their primary votes counted significantly harm the public interest. Using a different map for the general election would wreak havoc on the fairness and orderliness of Missouri's congressional elections, calling into question the candidacy of those nominated in the primaries and the votes of those who voted in the primaries. Widespread voter confusion would inevitably follow.” The ruling comes after Republican Congressman Bob Onder and Republican congressional nominee Rick Brattin, and two Missouri primary voters argued that their votes would be invalidated if the old maps were reinstated for the November election. Judge Clark agreed with their argument. The ruling will help enable the Republicans to retain control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Search is the optimal word. Customers will very rarely tell you that they are leaving, and why they are leaving. You have to go find the information, filter it, investigate, and then fix it. The cost to reinvent a lost customer is far too expensive to do on a routine basis. The road to customer loyalty is paved by not making the same mistake twice.

Most leaders assume their customers won't leave as long as the price is fair and the service works. Michelle Musgrove of Washington Gas and I agree that is a dangerous assumption. A customer with no other option is not the same as a loyal one. Confuse the two: the process keeps serving the company instead of the customer, nobody follows up directly, and the first real alternative wins them over. So what separates the companies that retain customers for years from those that lose them as soon as a competitor enters the market? This episode is for leaders in both situations: those already competing for customers, and those whose industry has never had them until now. What You Will Learn: Why adding more AI to the customer experience problem is not the answer, even when your technology budget is growing What the difference between customer experience and customer service actually means in practice, and why companies that confuse the two stay in a reactive cycle How to get CX right the first time by identifying which issues repeat, what drives them, and where the process breaks before a customer ever contacts you Why progress on first-contact resolution matters more than waiting for a perfect solution, and how to build on incremental gains How to build a business case for CX investment in a regulated environment where every dollar requires justification Why CSAT alone does not give an accurate picture of the customer experience, and what NPS open-ended responses, customer effort score, and third-party benchmarks reveal that a satisfaction score cannot How to get every employee across every role to take accountability for the customer experience, regardless of whether they interact with customers directly Where AI helps frontline teams serve customers faster by handling routine work, and where leaders are confusing automation with culture change Have a question or thoughts to share?

A miraculous thing often happens just as I am preparing to leave a client meeting. The formal discussion is over. I have closed my organiser, packed away my pen and mentally moved on to the next appointment. Then the client casually drops a major insight, hidden concern or vital piece of information on me. Naturally, this creates a small panic. The meeting is obviously finished, I am already packed up and I cannot easily reopen everything and start scribbling furiously without looking slightly ridiculous. I have to hold the information in my head until I am out of sight and can record it before it disappears. This kept happening until I finally realised the problem was not the client. The problem was me. I was ending the sales call too efficiently. I was not creating enough space for the buyer's brain to catch up with the conversation. The final five minutes of a sales meeting are not dead time. They are often where the truth finally turns up. Why do buyers reveal important information at the end of a sales meeting? Buyers often reveal the best information at the end because their brains are still processing the meeting long after the salesperson thinks the discussion is finished. We salespeople do this all day. We ask questions, uncover needs, identify gaps, explore consequences and navigate toward the next step. We are familiar with the process. The buyer is not. Most buyers spend far more time being assaulted by amateur pitch merchants than speaking with professional salespeople. They are used to suppliers battering them with slides, data, features, company history and product propaganda. When they finally meet someone who asks intelligent questions, they have to think. That thinking takes time. In Japan, buyers may also avoid expressing concerns too directly during the formal part of the meeting. Once the pressure drops and everyone starts preparing to leave, they may finally mention the real obstacle. It could be an internal opponent, a budget issue, a failed previous attempt or a decision-maker who has not yet appeared. Do now: Do not mentally check out when the meeting appears to be over. The most valuable comment may still be coming. What is the difference between a pitch person and a professional salesperson? Pitch people talk at buyers. Professional salespeople help buyers think. There is a vast difference between the two. Pitch people believe selling means doing all the talking. Their strategy is to smash the buyer with enough information, enthusiasm and verbal force to wrestle them to the ground and get the order form signed. They talk about their company. They talk about their solution. They talk about their technology. They talk about themselves. Then they wonder why the buyer says, "We will think about it." Professional salespeople ask intelligent questions and listen carefully to the answers. They are looking for the gap between where the buyer is now and where the buyer wants to be. More importantly, they help the buyer discover why remaining in the current situation is dangerous, expensive or strategically foolish. If I simply tell the buyer that life will be grim unless they buy my solution, they will naturally think, "Of course he would say that. He is trying to sell me something." But when the buyer reaches that conclusion personally, the idea has far greater power. Do now: Stop trying to overpower buyers with information. Ask questions that help them recognise the problem for themselves. How can sales questions create urgency? Strong sales questions make the cost of delay visible, because buyers rarely act until doing nothing begins to look more dangerous than taking action. During the sales conversation, we are exploring where the buyer is now, where they want to be and what is blocking the path between those two points. The buyer may already know there is a gap. That does not mean they feel any urgency. They may believe they can solve the problem internally. Perhaps they can. Given a hundred years, almost anyone can eventually reach a goal. The real questions are how long it will take, what it will cost and what opportunities will be lost while they are fumbling around trying to do it themselves. Suppose the buyer is struggling to retain key employees. I might ask: "If there was a way to prevent your key people being poached by the current horde of ravenous recruiters constantly scouring firms like yours for bodies to move to your competitors, would that help protect the stability of your business?" That language is deliberate. "Poached." "Horde." "Ravenous." "Competitors." "Instability." I am painting a word picture. I want the buyer to see the commercial danger clearly. Do now: Ask what happens if the buyer leaves the problem untouched for another six or twelve months. Why should salespeople explore the buyer's personal interest? Every business decision has a personal dimension, because the buyer's reputation, career and internal credibility may rise or fall with the outcome. We naturally ask what solving the problem will do for the organisation. Will it improve revenue? Reduce cost? Retain talent? Protect customers? Increase productivity? We should also ask what success will mean for the person sitting across from us. If the project succeeds, will they gain credibility with senior management? Will they be seen as someone who solved a stubborn problem? Will their team perform better? Will their life become easier? Equally, what happens to them if the initiative fails? A buyer may like our solution but fear becoming the person who sponsored an unsuccessful project. They may need more evidence, internal support or reassurance before they are willing to put their name behind it. This can be particularly important in Japan, where consensus-building, internal alignment and reputational risk often carry enormous weight. We are not trying to manipulate personal ambition. We are trying to understand the complete decision. Do now: Ask how solving the problem will help both the organisation and the individual buyer. Why is silence so powerful at the end of a sales meeting? Silence forces the salesperson to stop performing and gives the buyer enough space to think, remember and finally say what matters. Salespeople are often terrified of silence. The moment the conversation slows down, they leap in to rescue it. They add another explanation, repeat the benefits, provide an extra example or begin garnishing an answer that was already perfectly adequate. This is usually a mistake. At the end of the meeting, stop talking. Sit there for a moment. Look at the buyer. Let the silence become slightly uncomfortable. Fifteen seconds is a very long time when nobody is speaking, but that is precisely why it works. The buyer's brain has room to keep processing the conversation. Then ask: "Is there anything else I should know before I come back to you with our proposal?" After that, shut up. Do not explain the question. Do not add examples. Do not rescue the buyer. The silence may reveal the chief financial officer hates the idea, the budget is disappearing, a competitor is already involved or the project failed badly three years ago. Do now: Ask one final question and remain silent long enough to receive a real answer. How should salespeople use the final five minutes of the call? The final five minutes should be protected as a deliberate discovery stage, not wasted on hurried packing and polite small talk. In Japan, there is a strong chance we will need to return with a detailed proposal, customised solution or additional information for other stakeholders. This is exactly why the final five minutes matter. Before leaving, summarise what you have understood. Confirm the buyer's desired result, the major obstacles and the next step. Then pause. Do not immediately grab your bag and charge toward the lift. Use a simple closing sequence: Confirm where the buyer is now. Confirm where they want to be. Clarify what is blocking progress. Agree on the next step and timing. Ask what else you need to know. Shut up and wait. That last piece of information may completely change the proposal. Without it, you may return with a beautifully prepared, technically accurate and commercially useless document that solves the wrong problem. Do now: Reserve the final five minutes of every sales meeting for silence, reflection and one last discovery question. Conclusion The formal end of the sales meeting is not necessarily the real end of the sales meeting. The buyer's brain may still be digesting your questions, connecting ideas and recognising consequences. When the pressure drops, the truth often slips out. Professional salespeople understand this. Pitch people are too busy packing up their laptop. Once the discussion is complete, confirm the next step and then ask: "Is there anything else I should know before I come back to you with our proposal?" Then stop talking. Do not add. Do not garnish. Do not expand. Just sit there and let the buyer think. You will be surprised by what comes out. I must say, I always am.

In This Episode The best leaders aren't impossible to find—but attracting and keeping them requires much more than posting a job opening. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Kurt Mosley and Neill Marshall of HealthSearch Partners about executive recruitment, leadership retention, and the systems organizations need to build lasting leadership teams. Drawing from decades of experience recruiting executives for hospitals and healthcare systems, Kurt and Neill explain that the challenge isn't a shortage of talented people—it's creating an organization where exceptional leaders want to work and grow. Adi, Kurt, and Neill explore what makes companies attractive to high-level candidates. Beyond competitive compensation, they discuss the importance of authentic company culture, strong leadership, meaningful career paths, and organizational values that are consistently demonstrated—not simply displayed on office walls. They also explain how executive recruiters often help clients identify internal obstacles that may prevent them from attracting the caliber of leader they seek. The conversation then shifts to one of Adi's favorite topics: knowledge transfer. While organizations naturally want to retain their best employees, the guests emphasize that every leadership role should be supported by documented systems, clear processes, and succession planning. Waiting until someone announces their resignation is simply too late. Adi reinforces how documenting procedures, mentoring successors, and continuously updating operational knowledge protects businesses from disruption when leadership changes occur. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that recruiting and retention are part of the same system. Organizations that intentionally build strong cultures, create opportunities for growth, document critical knowledge, and invest in their people are far more likely to attract outstanding leaders—and keep them for years to come.

Astros Retain the Silver Boot... Is the Skubal Trade a Game Changer?

In this episode of the Leadership and Learning Podcast, Randy Goruk talks with Mike Matalone, founder and chief talent officer of the XP3 Talent System and author of Hire, Train, and Retain. Together they unpack why most business problems are really people problems in disguise and why you can't hire great teams; you have to build them. Drawing on years of work with CEOs and leadership teams, Mike explains how to: Use two critical hiring filters: are they smart enough to learn and are they coachable? Replace vague job descriptions with clear definitions of success, results, time frames, and required behaviors. Build an integrated people system that connects hiring, training, coaching, and career paths. Create true employee engagement by linking people to your mission, vision, and values. Tap into discretionary effort, the extra 40–60% of performance most employees never give. Dramatically reduce turnover and increase productivity, illustrated by a case study that cut sales turnover from 80% to 23%. If you lead sales teams, manufacturing operations, distribution, or construction crews and feel too busy "just surviving the day" to focus on people, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, get better before you get bigger, and treat training and development as your best investment.

In this episode we talk about promotions. You want to reward your best people by promoting them to new roles, but when and how? How can you avoid the dangers of bad promotions?  We are here to help! In this episode we answer questions including:When should an individual contributor become a manager?How do you handle an employee that isn't growing with the business?What happens when two people vie for the same role?All of these questions were submitted by listeners just like you. You can submit questions for us to answer on our website TheStartupHelpdesk.com or on X/Twitter @thestartuphd - we'd love to hear from you!Your hosts:Sean Byrnes: General Partner, LucidFog www.lucidfog.comAsh Rust: Managing Partner, Sterling Road www.sterlingroad.comNic Meliones: Founder, Startup Coach https://meliones.substack.com/Reminder: this is not legal advice or investment advice.Q1: When should an individual contributor become a manager?"We have a great engineer who wants to become a manager. I don't think they'll be good at it or enjoy it, but we don't want to lose them. What can I do?"Promotions are bets on future performance, not rewards for past work. Wanting a great IC to keep producing is natural, but don't promote someone into a role you believe they'll fail at. Management is a different job, not a higher rung on the same ladder.Test the desire before you grant the title:Send them to a management training course. Five days of reports, emotion-management, and conflict-resolution role-play is a filter. It either kills the fantasy or proves they're serious. If they're serious, they'll learn the mechanics (1-on-1s, conflict resolution, the parts of the job nobody romanticizes) before they run a real team.Try a 50/50 split. Keep them contributing while they test-drive managing people. Low risk, high signal.Examine your own bias. Part of you wants the status quo: a great engineer shipping great work. But your job is also to serve their career. Ask what they actually want long-term. Often it isn't "manage people" – it's bigger scope, real decision-making authority, or more visibility. Answer that, and you frequently get more of what you want, too.Build a real IC path. Most people only chase management because they've been taught it's the only way forward. Show them ICs who've grown into the equivalent of VPs and the pressure to become a manager evaporates for the ones who never wanted it. Make being a senior IC as prestigious as being the boss.The trap: creatively forcing people into roles they don't fit. Architect real jobs that solve real company problems. Don't invent a "team lead" title for a team of one.Q2: How do you handle an employee that isn't growing with the business?"One of our earliest employees is great, but is quickly being left behind as the business grows. Their role is shrinking as the company grows. I'd hate to lose them — how can I help?"This happens at every fast-growing company. The job someone was hired for often doesn't exist six months later. Not everyone scales, and that's not a moral failing.Set expectations early and honestly, before it becomes a crisis. Tell the whole team, on a regular cadence: "The job you have today won't exist tomorrow. We'd love you to be first choice for the next one, but it's on you to show us." That conversation, held often, does more than any rescue attempt later.Invest, but keep a close eye on who is already pulling themselves forward. Coaching and training are worth trying. Importantly: people who scale are already training themselves, learning new skills, taking initiative. If you have to supply all the initiative to drag someone forward, it rarely works. You can only pull someone so far, and you shouldn't contort the whole org to meet one person where they are.Be honest that the odds are low. In most cases this ends with letting the person go. Give them a fair chance to find their place, but time is limited, and if they're not climbing this mountain, they're unlikely to climb the next one.The kindest move is often the exit. Help them find their next role. At a bigger company they may be iced out and miserable; as an early-stage specialist elsewhere, their zero-to-one strengths are a genuine asset.Watch where the pressure actually comes from. They may not feel it in the work, but they feel it interpersonally, early. The trigger is frequently the people underneath them: strong reports threatening to leave unless the blocker moves. That forces the hard conversation, and it's never comfortable to tell someone the team has outgrown them.Q3: What happens when two people vie for the same role?"I have two great salespeople who both want to become sales director. There's one opening, so I can promote one — but at the risk of losing the other. What should I do?"Don't assume your best AE becomes your best director. A great AE is a closer. A great sales director is a scaler: coaching, building process, designing the machine. Different job, different skill set. The percentage of great AEs who become great sales leaders is low. Hire (or promote) for the scaler.Retain both, explicitly. Tell each of them, independently, that you want to keep them. For whoever doesn't get the role, ask directly: "If it's not you this time, what do we need to do to keep you scaling with us?"Run a transparent process, and don't stall. Be open about how you're evaluating. Then decide. Moving slowly doesn't preserve the peace; it raises the odds you lose one of them.Don't let fear pick the winner. If you choose based on who might quit, you've handed the team control of the company. Promote the person you genuinely believe will do the job best. If the other leaves, that's unfortunate. You deal with it, the same way you do with engineers or anyone else.Create a second path so "director" isn't the only summit. Strategic account management, a senior IC track, uncapped commission – give a top closer a reason to keep closing instead of elbowing into a management seat they don't actually want. (Fast-growing teams often keep great salespeople selling by not capping commission.)Always be hiring. You may need to backfill at any moment. Plan for it before you're forced into it. And if you ever find an AE who's genuinely a great sales director, never let them go.---The through-line: Every one of these problems eases when there's more than one way to grow. Give people a real IC path and management stops being the only way to ascend. Set honest expectations early and "you're not scaling" stops being an ambush. Build a second summit and one open role stops threatening two great people. Promotions go wrong when the org offers exactly one ladder and everyone's forced to climb it whether it fits or not.

Netflix may be the undisputed king of streaming, but it's facing a new challenge: "the sophomore slump." Internal data reported by Bloomberg show audiences dropping off dramatically for follow-up seasons of successful shows.Series like "The Night Agent," "Beef" and "Avatar: The last Airbender" all lost 50% or more of their original viewers when they returned for season two. To figure out what might be going on and how Netflix could respond we called up Brandon Katz, director of insights and content strategy at Greenlight Analytics.

The episode wraps with a reality check on social media posting schedules and child voice talent safeguards. Top 10 Boss Takeaways Human nuance remains un-clonable: Synthetic models cannot replicate the organic emotional transitions that define elite commercial performance. Continuous education is structural protection: Entrepreneurs must treat business development and tech training as non-negotiable daily habits. Run your business on intuition: Rely on common sense rather than chasing low-cost, race-to-the-bottom marketplace trends. Treat networking profiles like a mini-website: A professional profile must operate as a sleek landing page complete with clear social proof. Master the three pillars of direct outreach: High-converting marketing relies on a streamlined sequence: Optimize, Connect, and Message. Leverage parallel co-working sessions: Bypass administrative procrastination by setting up parallel focus blocks with an accountability partner. Retain vision when outsourcing: Scaling a business requires delegation, but the owner must always retain absolute control over the brand's trajectory. Give yourself permission to breathe: Focus entirely on the substance of marketing rather than the arbitrary frequency of a social media posting schedule. Audit service agreements closely: Talent must actively protect their biological voiceprints by ensuring explicit protective clauses are embedded into every contract. Hold corporate standards for child talent: Treat child performances as a legitimate business by enforcing standard industry rates and following official best practices.  

Equity is not free. It is the most expensive currency you own. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the phantom equity trap and why entrepreneurs must be careful before giving away ownership too early. Let's be real… If you give away part of your company because you are short on cash today… You may be selling millions in future value for a short-term solution. A quick favor can become a permanent cost. A temporary contractor can become a lifelong shareholder. And a desperate deal can destroy your control. In this episode, you'll learn: Why equity is the most expensive currency in your business How giving away ownership too early can destroy long-term wealth Why profit sharing and performance bonuses are different from equity How protecting your cap table gives you more control, freedom, and exit potential The truth is simple: Your company shares are not monopoly money. They are ownership. They are control. They are future upside. They are your ability to pivot, sell, restructure, and lead without asking permission. High-level founders do not hand out equity just to solve short-term cash flow problems. They protect the cap table. They create smart incentive plans. They reward performance with cash when possible. They keep control of the asset they are building. Because when you protect the equity… You protect the empire. Bootstrap the cash. Guard the shares. Retain the power. And keep leveling up.

In this episode of Ask George, Dr. George Hariri shatters the industry myth that achieving more than 10% same-store growth is impossible. For the modern dentist, transitioning from an exhausted clinician to a strategic CEO requires executing targeted dental growth strategies. Rather than forcing generalized systems onto your team, true leadership means diagnosing your clinic's unique bottlenecks. To scale efficiently, stop treating every operational issue equally and focus your administrative time on the constraints that generate massive dental practice profitability.This episode serves as your survival guide for mastering dental practice management. George reveals the four operational levers that guarantee sustainable dental practice growth:- Patient Flow: Implement the Retain, Open, Fill method. Lock the back door by mastering hygiene reappointment rates, then open new columns.- Case Acceptance: Empower your staff to co-diagnose. When the team leads patient education, doctor production becomes completely predictable.- Consistency: Close the performance gap between your best and worst clinical team members to instantly elevate the practice floor.- Efficiency: Play "Whac-A-Mole" with your metrics. Identify massive operational leaks, like a high missed call rate, and resolve them immediately.Elite dental business strategies require you to leverage your time. If you only spend a few hours a week working on the business, you must direct that energy toward your weakest links. Customizing your dental growth strategies to target these precise inefficiencies guarantees predictable expansion year after year.Ready to take the next step in your dental practice journey?
