Podcasts about rewarding

Rewarding customer loyalty is probably as old as commerce. These days, consumers accumulate hundreds, thousands, sometimes even millions of points that can be used to acquire everything from their favorite drink, to airline tickets, or simply pay a balance on a credit card. The fact that these rewards have an intrinsic value is something many easily forget about, making them a great target for fraud.SponsorsRoutable - http://ohmyfraud.promo/routableHOW TO EARN FREE CPEIn less than 10 minutes, you can earn NASBA-approved accounting CPE after listening to this episode.

I'm joined by Ben Shapiro, a controversial figure who for many needs no introduction. Ben is a political commentator, author, and co-founder of The Daily Wire. He joins me to discuss his new book, Scavengers and Lions. We explore the central metaphor of the book and what it says about the moral choices facing our culture today. Ben lays out his argument about the rise of intellectual scavengers who feed on grievance and resentment, and contrasts them with the “lions,” those who embrace responsibility, reason, and moral clarity. We also talk about Donald Trump, wokeness, gun control, and birth rates. ------ Thank you to our sponsors: New episodes of The Isabel Brown Show can be viewed on DailyWire+ here: www.dailywire.com/show/the-isabel-brown-show Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Glenn and Pat take a hard look at the ethical cracks forming in the professional dog training industry. Prompted by Justin Rigney, who continues to call out deceptive trainers, telling lies or hiding their use of tools, we dive deep into the consequences of rewarding the wrong behaviours, not in dogs, but in people. Too often, we see professionals extending hospitality, collaboration, and trust to individuals or organisations who do not reciprocate. These individuals happily accept support and visibility, while simultaneously working to undermine the very values and standards that good trainers work so hard to uphold. This episode challenges that imbalance. Why do we keep giving platforms to those who distort the narrative or operate in bad faith? Furthermore, we explore how the desire to be liked or seen as reasonable sometimes results in us turning a blind eye. However, in doing so, we can inadvertently harm the industry, our clients, and ultimately, the dogs themselves. There comes a time when drawing a line is no longer a matter of ego, but a professional and moral imperative. If you're tired of watching good people get burned while others flourish through manipulation and dishonesty, this episode is for you.

In Episode 414 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker delivers a forceful analysis of Israel's struggle for survival in the face of Hamas terrorism and the disturbing global response.From the October 7th massacre to the refusal of Hamas to accept ceasefires, Andrew exposes how Western nations and segments of the Democratic Party are legitimizing violence by rewarding terror with calls for Palestinian statehood. Drawing on history, UN partition plans, failed peace offers and recent polling data, he highlights how media distortion and political appeasement fuel anti-Israel sentiment in the United States and abroad.This episode provides moral clarity on what's truly at stake: whether the world will stand with Israel—the only democracy in the Middle East—or empower a terror state built on massacre.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

Walking with Jesus -- True Christianity -- is the most challenging, yet rewarding path you'll ever walk. In John 15:12-17, Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us—a love that is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit.  True Christianity:  1. Requires Humanly Impossible Love 2. Requires Humanly Impossible Obedience 3. Produces Humanly Impossible Fruitfulness Only God can make these impossibilites possible in our lives. In this message, Pastor Steve Henry unpacks how abiding in Christ fuels our faith, empowers us to forgive, and transforms our lives into lasting fruit for God's glory.

WTF is going on in reality tv right now? As someone who believes that we can draw a lot of parallels about the issues in our society from watching reality tv....I think it's a fair assessment that we can also gauge where we are at a society.

Stay tuned to the end to see all the series I've been binging by myself lately and let me know if you decide to tune into any.

Her journey underscores the value of leaning into life's uncertainties to discover genuine joy and success.The ROI Formula: Reward, Omit, InviteEmilee introduced her unique ROI framework, breaking down how to find meaningful success through three simple yet profound principles:Reward Yourself: Emilee emphasizes celebrating small daily victories, suggesting practical actions like enjoying a quiet cup of coffee or taking a peaceful walk. Rewarding yourself reinforces positive habits, boosting confidence and momentum by rewiring your brain for success.Omit Negativity: Emilee highlighted how negativity consumes valuable energy and time.

Is Israel Starving Palestinians? A Firsthand Report from the Border There's a growing claim in the global media that Israel is blocking food and aid from reaching Palestinians in Gaza. But what's actually happening on the ground? In this episode, we're joined by Yair Pinto, an Israeli believer, IDF reservist, and voice on TBN Israel. Yair recently returned from a UN distribution facility near the Gaza border, where millions of meals are sitting untouched—spoiling in the heat. From what he's seen firsthand, the problem isn't the supply. It's the systems of control and obstruction. Together, we take a closer look at how Hamas and the UN are shaping the flow of humanitarian aid, the double standards Israel continues to face, and what we can do to cut through the confusion from afar. If you've been trying to sort out what's real and what's rhetoric, this is an episode worth your time. Key Takeaways: October 7 wasn't just a terror attack - it launched a war across multiple fronts, including the battlefield of global opinion. Yair's unique voice - as an IDF soldier, a Messianic Jew, and a media communicator - brings clarity few can offer. The truth about humanitarian aid: Israel sends it. Hamas steals it. The UN looks the other way. The war is spiritual: Satan hates a faithful God - and Israel is His proof. The media war is being lost - but truth still has a remnant. Israel's fight is defensive, not imperial: It's survival against genocidal hatred. Many Palestinians remain under the grip of Hamas ideology, not because of race or religion, but radical indoctrination. Even amidst sirens and rockets, God is still doing miracles in Israel. Prayer matters - especially for the children, the hostages, and even for Israel's enemies.

David Carson from Dumbify delves into the intriguing concept that embracing "dumb" thinking can often lead to innovative solutions. We explore how society has cultivated a reluctance to ask seemingly foolish questions, thereby stifling creativity and potential breakthroughs. Our conversation is enriched by anecdotes illustrating how historical figures, like Isaac Newton, harnessed the power of curiosity and unorthodox thinking to arrive at revolutionary ideas. We also reflect on personal experiences and methodologies that advocate for a shift in mindset—encouraging individuals to welcome and cultivate their "dumb" thoughts as a pathway to discovery and success. Takeaways: Throughout history, the concept of 'dumb' has surprisingly provided solutions to complex problems. As individuals gain more knowledge, they often realize how much they still do not know. Encouraging the asking of seemingly 'dumb' questions can lead to significant creative breakthroughs. Creative thoughts often stem from individuals attempting to replicate others but failing, thereby generating originality. Rewarding curiosity in educational settings can foster a more open and innovative learning environment. The practice of intentionally thinking 'dumb' can lead to the development of new and effective solutions.

I feel like there is this shift in what used to be the habits and routines of “extreme biohackers” or “health gurus” and now those same things have become part of a lifestyle that people are adapting to make it their new healthy normal.    What we eat, how we move, what we focus on, how we approach health & supplements & body recovery, having a low stress lifestyle - all of it.    This is - my opinion - the best ever cultural shift… because it makes us all healthier, happier in our day to day because we feel great and we will live longer and age better.   In this episode I'm breaking down the habits and ideas that play into this new healthy normal.   Whether you're just starting or refining your routine, this is your blueprint for building a healthy lifestyle that feels good and becomes your new normal.     Let's break it down this way...   -What we eat    -How we move    -What we focus on / headspace / love / low stress    -How we approach health & supplements & body recovery

Matt Bigge, partner at Crosslink Capital and former 10th Mountain Division infantry officer,  shares his unique perspective as a venture capitalist, military veteran, and deep tech investor on the revolution happening in defense technology & how modern defense technologies are evolving to meet today's security challenges. His MIR framework—modular, interoperable, responsive—offers a blueprint for effective military innovation in an era where asymmetric threats and machine-speed warfare are becoming the norm.• Using low-cost expendable systems like drones against expensive platforms as demonstrated in Ukraine• Building defense tech that's modular (plug and play), interoperable (communicates across systems), and responsive (quick development cycles)• Moving from human-speed to machine-speed operations through AI and automation• Overcoming hollowed-out supply chains through innovations like X-Bow's 3D-printed rocket motors• Partnering emerging defense tech startups with legacy prime contractors for mutual benefit• Investing in "plausible science fiction" that may seem futuristic but has overcome core scientific challenges• Using the F.I.R.E. framework (Fun, Interesting, Rewarding, Entrepreneurial) for career and investment decisions• The value of leadership skills developed through military or team-based experiences• Creating systems with "five nines" reliability when lives depend on your technology• Understanding how to see the world through others' eyes to engage in mutually beneficial transactionsAs Ukraine demonstrates the stunning effectiveness of low-cost drones against multi-million-dollar platforms, Matt explains why the future of warfare demands operating at machine speed rather than human speed, and how AI-powered automation is making this possible.We dive deep into fascinating case studies from Matt's investment portfolio, including X-Bow's 3D-printed rocket motors that can be manufactured in shipping containers anywhere in the world, and DarkHive's drone swarms that deliver reconnaissance capabilities at a fraction of traditional costs. These innovations aren't just disrupting defense—they're addressing critical gaps in America's industrial base and creating new possibilities for battlefield responsiveness.Throughout, he emphasizes why leadership—the ability to set and achieve goals in a team-based setting at an elite level—remains the most crucial trait in founders he backs.Whether you're fascinated by defense technology, interested in the venture landscape, or simply curious about how innovation happens at the intersection of multiple disciplines, this episode offers rare insights from someone who has viewed these challenges from nearly every possible angle.Matt Bigge: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bigge/Matt's been in Venture Capital for over 25 years – he's backed winners like Verodin (sold to FireEye), ArcSight (sold to HP), and CloudShield (sold to SAIC).

"I knew that I didn't want a treatment program or medication because that was not the severity of addiction that I was personally experiencing. I knew that I would not be able to have success solely using a tracking app because I felt that that would make me feel more neurotic, although those tools certainly offer some utility and support for awareness.  I didn't want to demonize alcohol or have to be away from people who were drinking socially or to have to avoid environments or establishments that featured alcohol if I wanted to be there for other reasons.  I didn't want to say ‘Ok now I am a sober person', because in my vision of this version of myself I would still be able to visit a vineyard or try an artisanal beer made by a friend or drink champagne at a wedding. I just didn't want to drink everyday and I didn't want to feel this compulsion of necessity that wine was like my blankie or my best friend."This episode is a retrospective look on how I successfully re-created my relationship with alcohol on my own terms and the 8 healing methods that I identify as having been immensely helpful in helping me do so.
