Podcasts about Sandler

It's time to take a rocket into the Sandler-system and visit one of Planet Rob's moons. Specifically Daddy Daughter Trip. This is a 2022 ‘comedy' written by Rob's friend Jamie Lissow and Rob's (now) ex-wife Patricia, directed by Rob and starring Rob and Rob's daughter. Somewhat bafflingly, John Clesse is in this movie, as is Michael Bublé. This film is described (by Rob) as a love letter to Arizona, so we'll leave it to film critic Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic to sum it up: 1.5 stars "Too often the jokes don't land. Neither does the physical comedy. The story doesn't really hold. It's clear that Schneider and his daughter love each other, and this film is a way to express that. But it's a lot to ask of the rest of us to watch it."This episode is in VIDEO and ad-free at twioat.substack.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we continue our sales methodology mini-series with Sandler, the one that politely asks: “Is this actually a real opportunity, or are we just getting excited because someone said the word ‘proposal'?”We look at how Sandler fits alongside Challenger and SPIN, especially in complex B2B sales where enthusiasm, budget, authority, and commitment are definitely not the same thing. We also get into the importance of uncovering the real pain—or ambition—behind a buying conversation, mapping who else is affected, and knowing when to protect your time by walking away from a deal that was never really a deal.There's also a very modern detour into AI-written briefs, AI tropes, and the uncomfortable moment when something sounds brilliant because a robot made it sound brilliant. As ever, we learn lessons the easy way, by admitting the slightly awkward bits out loud.

From there, things get unexpectedly historical: Tom breaks down the story of the guy who invented the meter and got guillotined for it, which leads them down a rabbit hole of people killed for their big ideas, the French Revolution as the original cancel culture, and Martin Luther versus the Catholic Church. Then it gets personal — Bert tells the full Patrice O'Neal story: getting destroyed at his first open mic, the Edinburgh trip where they lived together for 29 days watching Bruce Lee movies and Bert getting his feelings systematically demolished, and the moment he found out Patrice had tweeted something kind about him right before the stroke. Tom and Bert also spiral deep into funeral planning — who's required to show up, who gets a Sandler video instead of a live appearance, why Ari's funeral is going to involve hardcore Brooklyn relatives and a lot of confusion, the Andrew Schultz balloon clown apology Bert wants delivered posthumously, and whether or not to get cremated when science might figure something out. Plus: horror movies vs. comedy movies as investments, the film Obsession and its director Curry Baker, Bert's dad crashing the podcast mid-funeral conversation, the band Goose vs. the band Geese, and Mount Joy watching Passion of the Christ on the tour bus. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 331 https://tomsegura.com/tourhttps://www.bertbertbert.com/tourhttps://store.ymhstudios.com In Partnership with DraftKings.

Salespeople in Japan do not fail because the market is difficult, the boss is demanding, the price is too high, or the brochure is weak. Those factors may be real, but they are not the whole story. The bigger issue is whether the salesperson is taking responsibility for improving their own sales ability. Sales is a metrics-based profession. Results show up quickly. If the numbers are poor, excuses will not save the salesperson for long. The better path is simple, but not easy: study the craft, ask better questions, listen properly, match the solution to the buyer's real needs, justify the value, deliver, and follow up. Why do salespeople in Japan make excuses? Salespeople make excuses because blaming external factors is easier than confronting weak sales skills. The market, pricing, exchange rates, industry shifts, sales materials, and management decisions may all matter, but they cannot replace personal responsibility. In Japan's B2B market, salespeople often face long buying cycles, consensus decision-making, conservative procurement processes, and high expectations around trust. In the US or Australia, the sales conversation may move faster. In Europe, compliance and procurement rules may slow things down. Different markets create different challenges, but poor technique travels badly everywhere. If the salesperson cannot ask good questions, listen carefully, diagnose the buyer's need, and explain value clearly, then the excuses start piling up. The problem is rarely one external factor. It is usually a lack of professional sales discipline. Do now: Before blaming the market, identify the one sales skill you personally need to improve this week. Why is sales such a tough profession? Sales is tough because it is a numbers game and poor performance becomes visible quickly. Unlike many roles, sales exposes weak habits through missed targets, low conversion rates, thin pipelines, and lost opportunities. Many people fall into sales by accident. They may begin as technical specialists, customer service staff, entrepreneurs, recruiters, account managers, or young employees assigned to revenue work. Then the metrics arrive: calls, meetings, proposals, close rates, revenue, retention, referrals, and account growth. In Japan, where long-term client relationships matter, weak sales behaviour can damage trust for years. Companies sometimes rely on the "law of the jungle," letting turnover decide who stays instead of investing seriously in training. That is wasteful, but the individual salesperson still has to take charge. Do now: Track your own numbers honestly: prospecting activity, discovery quality, proposal conversion, follow-up speed, and repeat business. What should salespeople study to become true professionals? Salespeople should study questioning, listening, diagnosis, value explanation, objection handling, follow-up, and client relationship building. These are not mysterious talents; they are learnable professional skills. There has never been a better time to self-educate in sales. Books, podcasts, online courses, coaching programmes, CRM data, AI roleplay tools, and sales training organisations such as Dale Carnegie, Sandler, Miller Heiman, Challenger, and SPIN Selling have made high-quality learning widely available. As of 2025, even small business salespeople and entrepreneurs can access material that was once reserved for large multinationals. The issue is not scarcity of information. The issue is motivation. If salespeople do not connect study with results, they stay amateur. Do now: Choose one sales resource, study it daily for 20 minutes, and apply one technique in your next client conversation. What is the simple professional sales process? The professional sales process is simple: ask what the client needs, listen carefully, confirm fit, explain value, deliver the solution, and follow up. The difficulty is not the theory; it is the discipline to do it every time. In Japan, this process is especially important because buyers value trust, preparation, relevance, and sincerity. The salesperson should not rush into a product pitch. First, understand the buyer's current situation, desired outcome, barriers, priorities, timing, budget, and decision process. Then decide honestly whether your solution fits. If it does, explain the trade-off between price and value. If it does not, say so. That honesty protects the relationship and the brand. Professional selling is not pushing. It is matching value to need. Do now: In your next meeting, spend more time asking and listening than explaining your product. What do weak salespeople do instead? Weak salespeople pitch product details before they know whether the buyer actually needs them. They talk first, diagnose later, and then wonder why the client does not buy. This creates the classic square-peg-in-a-round-hole problem. The salesperson has a product or service, so they try to force it into the buyer's situation whether it fits or not. In B2B sales, this damages credibility. In Japan, it can be even more harmful because trust, reputation, and long-term relationships are central to business development. Once a buyer feels burned, they may not complain loudly, but they will disappear quietly. The salesperson then moves on to the next prospect and repeats the same failure. That is not selling. That is professional self-sabotage. Do now: Stop presenting until you can clearly state the buyer's problem, desired outcome, decision criteria, and reason to act now. How can salespeople stop making excuses and improve? Salespeople stop making excuses by studying, applying the knowledge, reviewing the result, and repeating that cycle without pause. Improvement comes from disciplined practice, not from waiting for better market conditions. A salesperson cannot control currency movements, competitor pricing, government policy, procurement rules, or the global economy. They can control preparation, questioning skill, listening quality, follow-up speed, product knowledge, confidence, and personal learning. That shift in focus is liberating. It takes the salesperson out of victim mode and puts them back in charge of their own progress. In Japan, where clients often reward reliability and persistence, professional consistency becomes a competitive advantage. Do now: Build a weekly improvement loop: study one skill, practise it in live calls, review what happened, and adjust. Conclusion There are always external factors in sales. The boss may be difficult, the market may be shifting, the yen may be moving, pricing may be under pressure, and competitors may be aggressive. None of that removes the salesperson's responsibility to become better. The modern salesperson has access to more learning resources than ever before. The real question is whether they will use them. No more excuses. Study the craft, apply the knowledge, keep improving, and become the professional your clients deserve. Meta description: Learn why salespeople in Japan must stop making excuses, study the craft, ask better questions, listen deeply, and sell professionally. Keywords: sales in Japan, no excuses in sales, professional selling, sales training Japan, consultative sales FAQs Why do salespeople blame external factors? Salespeople blame external factors because it protects them from admitting their own skills need work. Market conditions matter, but weak questioning, poor listening, and bad follow-up are within the salesperson's control. What is the most important sales skill to improve first? The most important skill to improve first is questioning. Better questions reveal the buyer's real needs, priorities, barriers, and decision process. Why is product pitching a problem in sales? Product pitching is a problem when it happens before the salesperson understands the buyer's situation. Without diagnosis, the pitch may be irrelevant or feel pushy. How can salespeople improve consistently? Salespeople improve by studying, applying, reviewing, and repeating. Daily learning and deliberate practice turn sales from guesswork into a professional discipline.

This episode of Jewish Voices, American Stories looks at God's gift of laughter—and how Jewish comedians have helped bring joy, resilience, and connection to American life.We begin with the Marx Brothers, a family of immigrant performers whose quick wit, physical comedy, and unforgettable characters helped define American humor. In times of hardship and uncertainty, their laughter offered something more than entertainment—it offered relief, creativity, and even healing.Next, we meet Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner, two performers whose comedy made audiences laugh while also touching the heart. From The Producers to Saturday Night Live, their work reflected a uniquely human kind of humor—one rooted in vulnerability, love, and the ability to bring light into life's hardest moments.Finally, we hear a personal reflection on Adam Sandler, a comedian whose work has connected generations. From the playful humor of his early career to the deeper themes in his later roles, Sandler's voice has helped make Jewish identity visible, relatable, and joyful—reminding us that laughter can build bridges in unexpected ways.These stories remind us that laughter is more than just humor. It's resilience. It's connection. And sometimes, it's exactly what we need to carry us through—and bring us closer together.To learn more about God's people—from the days of the Bible through the present—visit The Fellowship's Learn Center.

Det pratas ibland om att Ulf Kristersson inte lyckats få Moderaterna att lyfta, trots kriser som ofta stärker en statsminister. Nu undrar en anonym lyssnare om han inte borde bytas ut för att rädda Tidö-sidan? Frågeställaren menar att såväl Svantesson som Strömmer, Busch eller Åkesson skulle ge 2-5 procent direkt och pekar på en Ulfrabatt. Maggie Strömberg tror, som statsvetarna, inte att en partiledare kan avgöra ett val. Torbjörn Nilsson funderar på om de borde göra en Sandler: ha en partiledare och en statsminister. Henrik Torehammar tror att lösningen ligger i rätt ansiktsbehåring. I SvD:s podd Politiken får du hjälp att ligga steget före i svensk inrikespolitik. Nya avsnitt varje tisdag och fredag. Den 13 september är det val i Sverige. Med SvD:s valkompass 2026 får du veta vilket parti som ligger närmast dina värderingar och åsikter.

Join Martin and Craig Sandler, and I on The Creative Spark as we talk about their new book Baseball's Shining Season: America's Pastime on the Brink of War. Both of these gentleman are prolific and talented writers and historians, and the discussion we shared regarding their new book and their process of coming together as father and son to create it is something you don't want to miss! What an interesting, fun and inspiring chat!-----Side note/correction: During the discussion Martin incorrectly stated, that the speech the president made on the loudspeakers during the ball game was not to say baseball would continue. It was to announce a state of national emergency as the world war raged and spread. -That perfectly encapsulated the combination of dread the nation felt and the relief that baseball offered. -----Martin W. Sandler is the National Book Award-winning author of more than sixty books, including 1919: The Year That Changed America, Imprisoned, Lincoln Through the Lens, The Dust Bowl Through the Lens, and Kennedy Through the Lens.

Kevin Nealon (SNL, Weeds, Hiking with Kevin) joins us this week for a quietly honest conversation that goes a lot deeper than you would expect. Kevin tells the story of an active shooter scare at his Bridgeport stand up show that ended with him hiding behind a dumpster, the audiences who keep dropping mid set as his fans get older, and why the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, not SNL, was the real dream he was chasing the whole time. We also get into Garry Shandling as his mentor and dearn late friend, the Sandler private jet tour where he only did ten minutes a night, and the surprises that came with walking into Carrie Fisher's house. Thank you to our sponsors:

Kyle Sandler spent much of his life searching – for an identity, for a purpose, for a place where he fit in. But when he discovers he has a gift for sales, everything changes. Kyle takes his talents to a small town in Alabama, where he opens Round House, a startup incubator that promises to put his new community on the tech map. Armed with big-name drops – including an alleged connection to Google – Kyle dazzles wide-eyed investors into opening their wallets.

In this episode, host Sylvie Legere sits down with Shira Kupperman Boehler and Dr. Kim Sandler to discuss the vital topic of early lung cancer detection. Having been diagnosed after a precautionary scan, non-smoker Shira shares her harrowing journey and advocates for change in diagnostic guidelines. Broadcasting from Wrigley Field emphasizes the importance of transforming how lung cancer is diagnosed, and how it is perceived by the medical community and public. Their conversation dives into the shortcomings of current screening guidelines and the urgent need for change to save more lives, especially for those who don't fall within the traditional risk categories. Through personal narratives and professional expertise, Dr. Sandler and Shira Kupperman Boehler share a holistic approach to detect lung cancer early by employing cutting-edge technologies and personalized medicine.  Act after listening: 1. Find out if you qualify for a free scan. If you're between 50–80 with a significant smoking history, you may be eligible for an annual low-dose CT scan — covered by Medicare and most private insurance. (Link in Resources below) 2. Ask your doctor even if you don't qualify. The current guidelines don't cover never-smokers — but that doesn't mean your risk is zero. At your next appointment, ask: "What is my personal lung cancer risk, and should I be screened?" Don't wait for symptoms. 3. Add your voice to change the guidelines. The screening criteria need to be expanded. Visit the Cancer Doesn't Care Foundation to learn how to advocate for policy change — and to share your own story if you have one. 4.

Send us Fan MailFor many families around the world, conversations around mental health happen quietly — or not at all. In this At the Podium episode, Broadway composer Zak Sandler reflects on growing up unaware that a bipolar condition ran through his family, and how shame and silence can sometimes delay understanding, healing, and acceptance. This conversation is not simply the discussion around mental health, but the reminder that many of us carry things we were never taught how to talk about openly. And when finally have those tough conversations, healing and reconciliation can happen. Listen. Reflect. Become.

This episode of the How to Succeed Podcast features long-time Sandler Trainer, Sean Coyle interviewing retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Joseph "Doc" Morgan about aligning Sandler's attitudes, behaviors, and techniques with the military's ends, ways, and means. Morgan emphasizes prioritizing will over skill, arguing that attitude and disciplined behaviors enable techniques to be learned through deliberate practice, "reps and sets", and realistic simulations. Joe shares a recruiting command case where a clear, emotionally resonant mission and targeted "bird-dog" prospecting transformed his Air Force Recruiting Squadron from near-bottom to top-ranked nationally. The discussion stresses planning, readiness, and having resources prepped ("go bag" mindset), plus the importance of emotional commitment to goals, accountability partners, and consistent execution. Morgan closes with the "challenge coin" and a "wolf-pack" ethos to illustrate trust, shared standards, and long-term professional bonds that drive performance. Chapter 1: Framing Success: Sandler's Triangle and Military Parallels 00:00:02 – 00:04:20 Sandler's Executive Chairman, David Mattson sets the stage with Sandler's success triangle—attitudes, behaviors, and techniques—before host Sean introduces Lt. Col. (Ret.) Joseph "Doc" Morgan. They tee up a discussion connecting Sandler's framework with the military's ends, ways, and means, hinting at friendly debate and practical crossover. Chapter 2: Will vs. Skill: Hiring, Leading, and Learning 00:04:20 – 00:07:43 Joe equates attitudes/behaviors to will and techniques to skill, emphasizing that will is far harder to teach than skill. He shares leadership lessons from deployments and the private sector: consistent reps, realistic practice, and feedback-driven improvement are the true foundations of adaptability. Chapter 3: Ends, Ways, Means: A Strategic Lens 00:07:43 – 00:11:34 They map Sandler to strategy: ends as objectives, ways as methods, and means as resources—including people. Joe stresses feasibility and alignment, mentoring others to balance ambition with effort, and spotting risk when high goals aren't matched by planned behaviors and resources. Chapter 4: Mission Clarity Drives Performance 00:11:34 – 00:16:57 Joe recounts transforming a low-ranked Air Force recruiting squadron by setting a compelling end state: "be bird dogs," not farmers, and source the talent the nation needed. With a clear, higher-purpose mission and tailored incentives, the squadron rose to top rankings nationally. Chapter 5: Ideal Profiles and Emotional Buy-In 00:16:57 – 00:20:29 Sean links mission clarity to sales by defining ideal client profiles and focusing effort where success likelihood is higher. Joe explains adapting targets by territory demographics, aligning incentives, and reinforcing that emotional connection to purpose sustains consistent, high-value prospecting. Chapter 6: Reps and Sets: Practice Like It's Real 00:20:29 – 00:23:59 Drawing on weapons school and special operations, Joe explains that realism and repetition build reflexes and excellence. The same principle applies to sales and life: role-plays, simulations, and deliberate practice—done often and with rigor—raise performance under pressure. Chapter 7: Preparedness: Plan, Stage Resources, Execute 00:23:59 – 00:28:27 They distill readiness into practical habits: plan tomorrow today, stage a "go bag," and know top targets and call objectives. Joe reinforces that plans are thinking tools to prepare for deviations; commitment matters because meaningful objectives require sacrifice and risk. Chapter 8: Commitment, Accountability, and Consistency 00:28:27 – 00:30:33 The conversation turns to conviction versus aspiration, noting how quickly resolutions fail without behavior change. Joe recommends accountability partners or "wingmen" to bolster consistency, while reminding that the deepest commitment must ultimately be to oneself. Chapter 9: The Wolf Pack: Tradition, Trust, and Team 00:30:33 – 00:33:19 Sean triggers a challenge coin moment, and Joe explains the tradition as a symbol of mutual commitment and readiness. The squadron motto—strength of the pack and the wolf—underscores lasting professional bonds, instant trust, and collective performance. Chapter 10: Close and Credits 00:33:19 – end Sean thanks Joe and the audience, noting how the coin forged new connections. The episode closes with credits and a pointer to Sandler services and resources.

One day ago, at approximately 11:30, two Jewish men were stabbed by a stranger on a street in a Jewish neighborhood in London. Had private community guards not been on the scene then the outcome would certainly have been much worse. It took police four minutes to arrive on the scene. And when they did one of them realized that he had forgotten his taser gun in the car. UK police officers are not armed. Seriously.Just hours before dropping this podcast, the UK Daily Telegraph published an exclusive story that the suspect, Essa Suleiman, is a 45-year-old Somali immigrant to the UK with previous convictions for violent crime, including the stabbing of at least one police officer and his canine partner. Mr. Suleiman served prison time and was referred in 2020 to a government run “counter-extremism” prevention program but as the Telegraph reports, “his case was closed later that year.” Exactly what that means is unclear. What is clear is that Mr. Suleiman was known to law enforcement and they clearly had formed a view that he may be a political or other extremist. He is believed to be associated with a terror organization supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran.London. Melbourne. Sydney. Toronto. Manchester. Montreal. Something is very wrong in the United Kingdom and its former colonies. Very wrong. In today's podcast we have a detailed discussion with Mark Sandler, a criminal lawyer based in Toronto who has acted as counsel in countless cases as well as more than 20 public inquiries. The depth and breadth of his experience is seriously impressive. These days, Sandler acts as chair of the Alliance of Canadians Combatting Antisemitism, a group of more than 70 organizations that have come together to voice their profound concern with the state of civil society in the country. Sandler seems to be everywhere - especially since October 7. He is a force of nature. I learned so much from speaking with Sandler and he confirmed many of my deepest concerns regarding the reasons that Jew hatred is so prevalent in Canada. It didn't just “happen.” It's a direct result of weak leadership, at best. At worst, it is due to institutional antisemitism. In another episode some time I hope to sink my teeth into why these issues seem to be manifesting in such an extreme way in the UK, Canada, and Australia.Update: As we finalize this podcast news came in that the UK just raised the threat level to severe, one notch below critical - the highest. Government is saying that it is related in part to the Golders Green attack. But there is more in the mix.In the podcast notes I have included links to previous State of Tel Aviv and Beyond podcasts and episodes that are directly relevant and may be of interest to you.Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivMark Sandler, LL.B., LL.D. (honoris causa), ALCCA's Chair, is widely recognized as one of Canada's leading criminal lawyers and pro bono advocates. He has been involved in combatting antisemitism for over 40 years. He has lectured extensively on legal remedies to combat hate and has promoted respectful Muslim-Jewish, Sikh-Jewish and Black-Jewish dialogues. He has appeared before Parliamentary committees and in the Supreme Court of Canada on multiple occasions on issues relating to antisemitism and hate activities. He is a former member of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal, a three-time elected Bencher of the Law Society of Ontario, and recipient of the criminal profession's highest honor, the G. Arthur Martin Medal, for his contributions to the administration of criminal justice.Podcast Notes:* Home page for Alliance of Canadians Combatting AntisemitismThis site is a trove of superb material documenting the ongoing efforts of this coalition to combat antisemitism in Canada: alcca.ca* Previous State of Tel Aviv and Beyond episodes directly relevant to the issues discussed in this podcastState of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Podcast Summary Unlock the secrets of AI and redefine your business strategy with insights from Seth Marrs, Sandler's Chief Strategy Officer. We promise you'll gain a clear understanding of how to wield AI's transformative power effectively without succumbing to the hype. Together, we'll navigate the tumultuous terrain of AI adoption, cutting through vendor-driven noise to focus on enhancing business efficiency. Learn how precision-targeted AI processes and smart technology investments can elevate your sales strategies while safeguarding data accuracy. Step into the future of sales training as technology and data investment revolutionize traditional methods. We explore how companies that embrace advanced data structures and generative AI are setting a new standard in sales enablement and leadership. From boosting conversation intelligence to redefining KPIs, discover how these advancements allow sales leaders to coach with precision and free teams from the shackles of outdated forecasting. This episode promises a remarkable journey into the next era of sales excellence, where strategic foresight and data-driven decision-making take center stage. Chapter 1: Introduction and Guest Setup 00:00:02 – 00:01:16 Dave Mattson introduces the How to Succeed podcast and frames the focus on attitudes, behaviors, and techniques. He welcomes guest Seth Marrs, Sandler's Chief Strategy Officer, and teases a discussion on where "the puck is going" in tech and AI for sales and leadership. Chapter 2: The Innovative Revenue Leader Podcast Overview 00:01:16 – 00:02:11 Seth explains his podcast format: deep-dives on a single topic across multiple episodes, featuring varied expert perspectives and a research-driven synthesis. The goal is to provide practical tools and insights leaders can apply to grow revenue. Chapter 3: Actionable Depth vs. High-Level Concepts 00:02:11 – 00:02:59 Dave highlights the gap between conceptual podcasts and actionable takeaways. Seth confirms they publish companion reports, citing one on five AI-driven capacity levers to ensure listeners leave with concrete steps. Chapter 4: The AI Hype Cycle and Vendor-Driven Chaos 00:02:59 – 00:04:56 They discuss the rapid acceleration of technology and AI since 2020 and a vendor-fueled market pushing "AI" everywhere. Executive pressure to "do AI" leads to misaligned investments, often neglecting foundational needs like data hygiene. Chapter 5: Why AI Initiatives Fail and What Works 00:04:56 – 00:06:08 Referencing studies with high AI failure rates, Seth argues success comes from mapping and improving specific processes with AI, not buying tools to fix problems. Proven change still follows process-first, tool-second discipline. Chapter 6: Pressure, Waste, and Upcoming Market Correction 00:06:08 – 00:08:41 Dave notes external pressure to adopt AI creates fear of being left behind. Both anticipate a near-term shift toward smarter, ROI-focused adoption, driven by CFO scrutiny and repeatable success stories clarifying where AI truly adds value. Chapter 7: Overlapping Tools and the "Can It Do It vs. Is It Good?" Test 00:08:41 – 00:10:24 They unpack redundancy in tech stacks (e.g., multiple tools that "write emails"). The real question is output quality and contextual relevance, echoing prior dynamics like using LinkedIn for accuracy and ZoomInfo for phone numbers. Chapter 8: Education Gap and Overpromising Vendors 00:10:24 – 00:11:18 Most practitioners don't understand nuanced tool differences, exacerbated by vendors claiming universal AI capability. This fuels confusion and misaligned purchasing. Chapter 9: Where the Puck Is Going: Data, Infrastructure, and Enablement 00:11:18 – 00:12:49 AI performance will only improve; organizations investing in data and infrastructure will compound gains. Seth predicts a transformation in enablement and training through conversation intelligence and role-play powered by GenAI. Chapter 10: From Training Events to Continuous, Visible Reinforcement 00:12:49 – 00:14:24 Enablement evolves from one-off training to ongoing assessment across calls and emails, with clear visibility into who applies the methodology and the outcomes. Leaders gain unprecedented insight to reinforce and optimize. Chapter 11: Science Over Art in Sales Performance 00:14:24 – 00:16:28 Dave likens the shift to medicine and pro sports: from art to data-driven science with MRIs and video review. Sales can now diagnose reality over self-reported optimism, though increased transparency may feel threatening to some. Chapter 12: Tools Elevate but Don't Replace Excellence 00:16:28 – 00:19:30 Seth asserts technology equips practitioners but doesn't eliminate the performance spectrum. Blindly following AI produces average results; top performers synthesize AI with judgment, adapting to context shifts like those during COVID. Chapter 13: Empowering High Performers and Institutionalizing Wins 00:19:30 – 00:21:28 AI can surface winning patterns from "rogue" top sellers and scale them across teams. Digital playbooks can capture best moments across individuals, but most organizations still fail to build and maintain them. Chapter 14: Culture, Curiosity, and Leveling the Field 00:21:28 – 00:22:55 Resistance stems from human nature and legacy structures that reward tenure over curiosity. The new environment favors sellers committed to craft, learning, and experimentation, expanding their opportunities. Chapter 15: Manager Adoption and the Coaching Opportunity 00:22:55 – 00:24:36 Historically, reps learned from call libraries more than managers used them. Pressure is mounting on managers to leverage these tools, shifting from generic call quotas to event-driven, targeted coaching triggers. Chapter 16: Span of Control and Precision Coaching 00:24:36 – 00:25:59 AI-driven diagnostics will increase managers' span of control by automating detection of coachable moments. Time shifts from ride-alongs and full-call reviews to focused intervention on specific gaps tied to deal impact. Chapter 17: Practical Playbook for Sales Leaders 00:25:59 – 00:27:39 Leaders should adopt tech for pinpoint coaching, grounded in recorded calls and captured emails. This enables loss mitigation via timely intervention, delivering more performance with less wasted managerial time. Chapter 18: Rethinking CRO Metrics and Forecasting 00:27:39 – 00:29:47 For CROs and owners, the mandate is a new set of leading indicators sourced from conversation and engagement data. Forecasts should become byproducts of actual selling activity rather than self-reported, error-prone rollups. Chapter 19: From Guesswork to Evidence-Based Operations 00:29:47 – 00:32:20 Leaders gain the ability to make forward-looking decisions from real interactions, not hedged numbers. Reclaiming time spent on forecasting and discovering bespoke conversational indicators creates durable competitive advantages. Chapter 20: Closing Guidance: Start Small, Solve One Problem 00:32:20 – end Seth advises choosing a single, well-defined problem, mapping it to a solvable action with a tool, and executing. Mastery and confidence build through iterative wins, avoiding the trap of broad, unfocused AI implementations. Dave closes by recapping takeaways and promoting Seth's podcast.

What does it actually mean to be a trusted adviser and, how would you know if you were one? Most customer-facing professionals believe they're trusted. Their customers largely disagree. That gap is the problem Rowly Hirst has spent his career trying to solve. Rowly is CEO of Relate.US and the creator of Sandy, a generative AI analyst that measures trust in real time using the Maister-Green-Galford Trust Equation: Credibility + Reliability + Intimacy ÷ Self-Orientation. In this conversation, Marcus and Rowly go deep on what trust actually looks like in practice, why the most popular sales frameworks quietly destroy it, and what it takes to become a genuine ally rather than an accomplice, or worse, an adversary. If you spend your days in complex, high-stakes conversations, this episode is for you. What We Cover Why trust is defined not by what someone says about you, but by what they do when they could stay vague, delay, or protect themselves, and choose not to The difference between an ally, an accomplice, and an adversary in a sales relationship, and the precise moment sellers cross the line Why the word "playbook" is the wrong mental model entirely, and what replaces it A masterclass in trust-building from an AT&T store in Boston: how a $50 sale became a case study in the Trust Equation in action The five operating principles that separate trusted advisers from everyone else How Challenger, BANT, MEDIC, SPIN, and Sandler all fail in the same way under pressure, and what that failure looks like in practice The 55 sub-factors Sandy measures across the four components of the Trust Equation Why gamifying your trust score actually works, and ends up benefiting the customer, not just the seller The 90/30 trust perception gap: why over 90% of sales reps believe they're trusted advisers while only 30% of their customers agree What Sandy has taught Rowly about his own blind spots, including a real example of how he lost an investor in a meeting and what he changed afterwards Why saying "I don't know" is a credibility asset, not a liability How measurement of trust has gone from a $600 human analysis taking a week to a six-cent automated result in under two minutes Gallup's estimate that improving meaningful feedback and trust-building could lift global employee engagement from 20% to 80% — an $8.5 trillion productivity uplift Key Idea from This Episode Trust isn't something you ask for or declare. It's something the other person gifts you, quietly, through their behaviour, especially when risk is on the table. It breaks down not when objections appear, but earlier: when pressure rises and we unconsciously shift from ally to accomplice. The fix isn't a better playbook. It's noticing yourself under pressure and choosing differently. About Rowly Hirst Rowly Hirst is CEO of Relate.us and has over 25 years of experience in consultative sales and account management in financial services. He began developing the thinking behind Relate.us in 2013 after a career taking CEOs and CFOs to meet investors, observing first-hand how poorly the industry measured what actually mattered in high-stakes relationships.

The Oscars hold a special place in popular culture, but the first Academy Awards ceremony, held in 1929, bore little resemblance to the spectacle most of us know today. In this episode, media expert Monica Sandler takes us from that first award ceremony – when both Los Angeles and the films made there struggled for respectability – to the modern extravaganza that draws tens of millions of viewers worldwide. Monica also breaks down the way voting has changed over time, the evolution of categories, and what she thinks was the greatest snub of all time. Dr. Monica Sandler is a film and media historian at Ball State University, specializing in the history of entertainment prizes and their influence on Hollywood.

A random Super Bowl celebrity shoutout turned into an all out Jets fan meltdown. Evan and Tiki react to Mike Tirico calling Adam Sandler “a Patriots fan as per usual” and why that one line put a dark cloud over the rest of the night for a lot of Jets fans. Was it a simple camera angle misunderstanding because Sandler was wearing a Super Bowl hat with both logos? Or is the real crime Tirico confidently saying “as per usual” like it is fact? The guys debate what is more egregious: Tirico mislabeling Sandler's fandom on national TV, or Sandler even putting a Patriots logo on his head in any context.
