Elections aren't always altered at the ballot box—sometimes it happens quietly through administrative maneuvers and courtroom dockets long before Election Day. Michael Steele breaks down how executive tactics involving the U.S. Postal Service are bypassing established election rules, and why the Supreme Court's recent procedural dodges give these actions a free pass to continue unchecked. From ignoring core constitutional questions to letting administrative changes move forward on technicalities, the system is facing a quiet crisis of accountability.Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, be sure to share it with a friend!

My name is Amanda a joyous, free, and recovered alcoholic/addict.The first time I drank at 13 it was a problem. It led me down a dark path of intravenous drug use, violence and sex work. I was plagued by self loathing, guilt and shame which led to not only me praying i would die but also my beautiful children praying that i would die too. They wanted me to be at peace.Today is very different. I wake up full of gratitude, love and a zest for life. I finally got this miraculous programme two weeks before my 50th birthday. If i can recover anyone can.  Today Amanda speaks to us on the topic of How the Three Legacies: Recovery, Unity and Service Brought Me from Death to Life.Links to other Reco12 Podcasts:-       Reco12 Speaker Meeting Podcast:  https://reco12.buzzsprout.com/-       Reco12 Noodle It Out with Nikki M:  https://redcircle.com/shows/76649f3a-617a-4fc7-95aa-95c19b9eb371-       Reco12 Big Book Roundtable:  https://redcircle.com/shows/ba8b016c-de4a-4f9b-99fd-df47ba231605-       Reco12 Workshops:  https://redcircle.com/shows/023ca038-59fe-47cb-84cf-d202ce4fde94 Donations:Support Reco12's 12th Step Mission!

Click here for a FREE Market Analysis: https://mycertainpath.com/lead-generation-request/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=tsc227 ------------------------ Two years ago he drove home from Oregon broke, unpaid for seven weeks of work. Last year he sold and installed $1,011,000 in electrical — out of one van. Mike Howie is a service technician at Travis Electrical Service in Clarksville, Tennessee. He does the selling and splits the installs 50-50. He did $612,000 one year and $1,011,000 the next — two years into residential service, in a middle-America market. He had about ten years in electrical first: an industrial apprenticeship, then a service shop that, in his words, “threw you out in the wind.” A three-week job became seven unpaid weeks in Texas and Oregon. He nearly lost the house, his wife's car was impounded, and he lost his mom in the middle of it. He found Travis on Indeed, emailed the owner's wife from Oregon, and she kept telling him one thing: “Just get home.” Then six months of ride-alongs and CertainPath training before anyone handed him a van. What changed between $612,000 and $1,011,000 was operational as much as personal. Travis added installers halfway through the year, anything over $1,000 started handing off, and Mike got into more houses. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, line by line. In this conversation, you'll discover: • Why adding an install team took him from $612,000 to $1,011,000 • The six-month onboarding most owners skip — and what that patience actually bought • Why he never finishes the troubleshoot, and the one question he asks instead • The chain-link analogy that makes a backstabbed outlet obvious to a homeowner • How he positions financing before the sticker shock lands • “First person that talks loses” — and the fifteen minutes he sat in total silence Whether you run an electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or roofing company, Mike's process shows how one well-trained technician turns ordinary service calls into a million dollars a year. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Bravado is not the same as courage. In this episode, John Grdina explores authentic manhood, faith, community, and serving others, making the case that true strength lies in humility, service, and spiritual connection, not dominance or conquest.John breaks down the cultural lie of bravado culture and contrasts it with Jesus' own teaching on leadership: deny yourself, take up your cross, and serve. Drawing on James 5:16, this episode digs into the power of prayer shared in community, why gratitude and praise anchor a man in his faith, and how a simple act of service from a young woman on a cross country team became a real-life picture of everything this episode is about. This is a call for men to stop mentoring from the sidelines and start leading through humility, presence, and sacrifice.Key topics covered:- The contrast between bravado and true courage- The importance of fatherhood and mentorship- Jesus' teachings on leadership and humility- The role of prayer and community in strength- The example of young women serving others- The call to serve rather than dominate- The significance of gratitude and praise- Practical ways to serve and lead in daily lifeTakeaways:- Bravado is not the same as courage; true strength is humility- Real manhood is shown through service, not conquest- Prayer is a power source, meant to be shared in community- Men must be present and active in mentoring and leading- Gratitude and praise keep a man anchored in faith- Serving others is the ultimate expression of strength- Authentic leadership is rooted in humility and sacrificeChapters:00:00 The cultural lie of bravado and false strength01:51 Jesus' definition of manhood: denying self and serving04:06 The importance of praise and gratitude in daily life06:29 The example of young women serving in real life08:25 Praying for humility, strength, and community09:12 Closing prayer and encouragement to men to act nowIf this episode helps you, like it, share it, and subscribe.

Send us Fan MailThis week I want to talk about something I've been sitting with: eyes on your plate, eyes on your lane. I was actually writing these notes when I found out Dolly Parton had passed away, and it sent me into a whole reflection on boundaries — how easy it is to want to fix people, to give unsolicited advice about their food, their choices, their life, even when we mean well. I'm sharing what almost thirty years in leadership, addiction training, and life coaching have taught me about staying in your own lane, what real support looks like when someone you love is struggling with serious addiction, and why doing the wellness work for yourself is the most powerful thing you can offer someone else. If you've ever gotten advice nobody asked for — or caught yourself giving it — this episode is for you. Citations●     Dolly Parton tribute reference — NPR, "Dolly Parton, one of country music's most singular performers, has died at age 80" (Aug. 25, 2026) — https://www.npr.org/2026/08/25/nx-s1-3650175/dolly-parton-obituary ●     Additional source — The Washington Post, "Dolly Parton, country music singer and cultural icon, dies at 80" (Aug. 25, 2026) — https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2026/08/25/dolly-parton-country-music-singer-cultural-icon-dies-80/ ●     Film references mentioned: Steel Magnolias (1989) and 9 to 5 (1980) ●     Weight stigma & unsolicited comments about food or weight — Rebecca M.

Send us Fan MailAdversity may become part of your story—but it does not have to define who you are.In this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, David Pasqualone sits down with former college football coach, author, and consultant Jay Paterno for a powerful conversation about faith, family, leadership, resilience, identity, and what happens when the life you expected suddenly changes.Jay grew up as the son of legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, but this conversation goes far beyond football.Jay shares the values his parents taught him, the difference between success and excellence, how to balance family and professional ambition, why children need to learn how to face adversity, and why a leader should never abandon foundational values simply because circumstances change.Jay also shares his personal perspective on the public crisis that changed his family's life, the loss of his coaching career, his father's death soon afterward, and how faith helped him reinvent himself at age 43.In this episode you'll discover:• Why adversity does not have to define your identity• The difference between success and excellence• How to stay grounded in your core values• Why “when you get home, be home”• The Blue Line principle for life balance• Why parents should prepare children for the path• How to stop living in someone else's shadow• Why leaders will never win unanimous approval• The difference between problem people and solution people• How faith and patience help during difficult seasons• Why progress happens one play—and one day—at a timeOne of Jay's most powerful reminders:“You can't let the adversity define you.”And perhaps even more importantly:“That's not the last chapter written in your life.”━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome & What to Expect02:13 Jay Paterno Joins the Remarkable People Podcast03:41 Sponsor Break05:20 Jay's Story Begins05:55 Core Values from the Paterno Home07:00 Faith, Service & “We, Us and Our”09:08 Growing Up with a High-Profile Father09:55 “When You Get Home, Be Home”11:25 The Blue Line: Creating Boundaries in Life12:33 Success vs. Excellence13:38 Faith as a Positive Way of Living16:43 Growing Up as Joe Paterno's Son19:07 Prepare the Child for the Path20:29 Proving Himself Outside His Father's Shadow22:17 Being Released from Other People's Expectations24:33 17 Seasons of Coaching & Lessons from Adversity25:54 Education, Athletics & Developing Leaders28:17 Preparing Athletes for Life After Football32:04 The Penn State Crisis and Jay's Career Reset34:27 Losing His Father35:22 The Book of Job & Reinventing Life at 4338:12 Turning Pain into Prevention & Helping Others40:31 Dealing with Anger, Critics & False Accusations40:46 Problem People vs. Solution People44:18 Protecting Marriage, Family & Faith44:45 “You Can't Let Adversity Define You”45:25 “That's Not the Last Chapter Written in Your Life”46:05 You Don't Need Everyone's Approval49:24 Finding the Pony in the Manure51:50 Advice for Anyone Ready to Quit52:08 Faith, Patience & Hope53:01 Progress Happens One Step at a Time53:32 Life Is the Next Play55:16 Stack the Days & Small Victories55:50 Final Thoughts56:24 Listen.

Six years. 281 episodes. And today I'm shaking it up like a snow globe. Not because it's broken. That's the part I want to talk about. For the next three months or so, Wednesdays on Late Bloomer Living belong to Salty Sisters — the live show I co-host with Cat Corchado. Same feed, same day you've always found me. There's just going to be a second voice in it now, and I think you're going to like her. Cat is an Air Force veteran, a movement specialist, and the founder of Fit for Life Alliance, which she started in her sixties. She hosts a podcast called Sisters in Service. She has the best laugh I've ever heard and she says things I would never think to say. We met on Clubhouse in 2021, ended up in the same mastermind, and figured out fairly quickly that we were more fun together than apart. In this episode I get into why I'm doing this. Some of it is about creative restlessness — six years is a long time to make anything the same way. Some of it is about the strange loneliness of making an interview show, which nobody warns you about. And some of it is about a personal project I'm not ready to talk about yet, which needs hours I don't currently have. Here's what's actually new, and it's the part I'm most excited about: we do this show live on Friday afternoons, and you can be in it. Not listening to a conversation I already finished — in it, while it's happening, asking the guest your own question. That's never been possible here before. Fridays at 3pm ET. My YouTube channel, Cat's LinkedIn, and the Sisters in Service Facebook page. Come say hi in the chat so we know you're there. https://www.youtube.com/@latebloomerliving/live **And hit the subscribe button while you're there! When did you last change something that wasn't broken?  Something perfectly fine that had just stopped being interesting? I'd love to know.

Service dog training is about much more than putting a vest on a dog and teaching basic obedience. A reliable service dog must have the right temperament, learn specific disability-related tasks, demonstrate strong public-access behavior, and continue performing consistently in the real world. In this episode of Dog Works Radio, Michele Forto explains what service dog training really looks like in Alaska. She discusses how service dogs differ from therapy dogs and emotional support animals, how dogs are evaluated for service work, why training commonly takes 18 to 24 months, and what owner-trained teams should expect. You'll also hear about challenges unique to Alaska, including winter weather, limited daylight, wildlife, long travel distances, ferries, small aircraft, and fewer training resources in rural communities. Most importantly, Michele explains why choosing the right dog and setting realistic expectations from the beginning can make the difference between a successful working team and a frustrating experience.

St. Brendan Healing Service by Fr. Jason Brooks, LC

Before school. After school. In the middle of the night when something goes wrong. Liz, Kasen, and Audrey have all learned to carry weight most of their peers never have to think about. They show up and care for a family member who needs them, again and again, in ways that rarely get noticed and even more rarely get thanked. They're not alone: an estimated 3.4-5.4 million youth provide essential caregiving in the U.S., and yet there's no national system in place at schools, hospitals, or doctor's offices to even recognize a child as a caregiver. In this episode, these three incredible young people open up about what that invisible work actually looks like day to day: the responsibility that arrives too early, the exhaustion that goes unspoken, and just how rare it was to feel truly understood — until they found other kids living the same reality. They talk about what changed when they found each other at MCEC, and what it means to finally feel seen and heard by people who simply get it. Julie Coffey, who helps lead the Caregiving Youth Student Leadership Program, joins the conversation to share how the program gives these young caregivers something they didn't know they were missing — a peer community built around the kind of service no one sees, but everyone needs.   SHOW NOTES Guests:  Liz. Kasen. Audrey. Julie Coffey: our beloved Student Well-Being Manager at MCEC. Julie manages the Caregiving Youth Student Leadership Program, as well as many of our other student initiatives, like Student-2-Student (s2s) and the Frances Hesselbein Leadership Program.

Automating a bad process doesn't make it better. It makes the same problem move faster—and can leave your PI firm paying for technology it wasn't ready to use. Yuval Goren is the founder and CEO of Kobargo IT, which provides technology and AI leadership specifically for high-volume personal injury firms. After two decades in traditional IT, Goren shifted from reactive support toward treating technology as a lever for productivity, revenue, and competitive advantage—a model Kobargo IT now calls “IT and AI Leadership as a Service.” In this episode, Yuval joins Chris Dreyer to unpack what a PI firm must put in place before it deploys AI. They discuss where AI belongs in intake and lead follow-up, why undocumented workflows undermine automation, how firms should consolidate and secure their data, and why a firm's referral strategy can include cybersecurity.  You'll learn: Why process mapping and documented SOPs need to come before AI automation in a personal injury firm. Where AI-powered intake can strengthen lead follow-up without sacrificing the human connection behind client trust. What PI firms need to address when consolidating fragmented data for AI and automation. How cybersecurity and AI governance can protect sensitive client information while strengthening firm reputation.

Award-winning director, author, speaker mentor, and entrepreneur Tricia Brouk returns to One Sharp Sword for a powerful conversation about ambition, presence, service, and wise leadership. Tricia takes Dr. Wayne Pernell from her childhood on a Missouri farm to a global dance career that included performing with Mikhail Baryshnikov. She shares how appearing in Antigone shortly after 9/11 transformed her understanding of art as service—and why influential communicators must show up prepared to care for their audience. They explore why speakers should share from the scar rather than the wound, the difference between having emotion and becoming emotional, and how Tricia's STILL method—Stop, Tune In, Intuit, Listen, and Learn—helps leaders respond from wisdom instead of ego. Tricia also discusses Being Smart Is Stupid, The Wise Leopard, the upcoming film Dog Years, and the leadership lesson at the heart of her relationship with Wayne: work with people who make you better.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we explore one of the most significant transformations of 19th-century Russia: the introduction of universal military service in 1874.The Crimean War had exposed the profound weaknesses of the Russian Empire. Its army, composed largely of serfs serving 25-year terms, was backward, poorly equipped, and utterly demoralised. The British and French had demonstrated the power of industrialised warfare – railroads, telegraphs, modern rifles – and Russia had been humiliated.War Minister D. A. Milyutin, a reformer shaped by the shock of defeat, understood that the army could not be modernised without modernising the society that sustained it. The emancipation of the serfs in 1861 was the first step. Universal military service in 1874 was the next. It was an act simultaneously of military and social policy – designed not only to create a larger, more effective fighting force, but to elevate educational standards, foster civic cohesion, and transform the army from an object of social contempt into a symbol of national unity.Milyutin's reforms were inspired by the successes of the Prussian army against Austria in 1866 and France in 1870. But Russia was not Prussia. The challenge was to create a system that could mobilise the empire's vast population while navigating the complex ethnic and social divisions of the Tsarist state.We explore the mechanics of the reform: the reduction of active service terms, the expansion of the reserve pool, the linking of education to service length, and the creation of a more equitable system of conscription. We also examine the paradox at the heart of Alexander II's reforms – the desire to modernise and liberalise without surrendering autocratic power – and the tensions that would eventually lead to revolution.Topics covered:The Crimean War and its impact on RussiaD. A.

A structural transfer of liability and risk is reshaping industry engagement models, with outcome-based contracting increasing across service agreements. This shift is being driven by buyer demands for accountability in technology solutions, notably in artificial intelligence deployments, and is illustrated by recent unpublished but credible reports that OpenAI is quietly allowing select large enterprise customers to pay only when AI tasks are successfully completed. Supporting research from Gartner and CIO Dive highlights a growing disparity: while 19% of service buyers seek outcome-based payment models, only 13% of agreements from sellers currently accommodate them. The core development spotlighted is the disconnect between expectations for measurable AI-driven business outcomes and the lack of empirical evidence that such technologies are delivering on those promises at the organizational level. A large-scale survey by the National Bureau of Economic Research, encompassing nearly 6,000 senior executives across four countries, found that over 89% reported no observable improvement in employment or labor productivity from AI investments during the past three years, despite substantial organizational changes and budget reallocations. Additionally, research by Thomson Reuters found that 91% of 1,800 professionals reported their organizations were not realizing expected AI value, identifying a gap in demonstrable returns even while the technology is being deployed. Supporting data from Techaisle reveals partner capability thins dramatically as customers progress into advanced AI adoption stages. Most channel providers retain capacity only for basic "estate" work, with capability dropping to near zero for the most advanced client needs. Forrester has also identified persistent barriers to reliable measurement, such as fragmented and inconsistent data baselines, as well as dependencies on customer-side decisions. These factors magnify contract risk and reinforce the liability shift toward providers, who become responsible for defining, measuring, and underwriting outcomes without always possessing necessary levers or data. The operational implication for MSPs and IT service providers is heightened exposure to contractual and financial risk when agreeing to outcome-based terms, especially without mechanisms to price or control every relevant input. Providers are often unable to flow contract risk upstream to vendors or technology manufacturers, as their own agreements typically exclude outcomes. The episode concludes that early engagement and proactive definition of acceptable, controllable outcomes is essential, as outcome-based demands are likely to appear pre-baked in future client agreements, shifting bargaining power away from providers unprepared to quantify their exposure. Using data from their own worst-performing months, documenting client dependencies as contract conditions, and piloting outcome-based lines in otherwise standard agreements are outlined as practical tactics to mitigate downside risk before broader market adoption. 00:00 Four Numbers, One Cause 03:45 What You Ask For When You Can't Tell 06:45 Nobody Underneath You 10:20 Why Do We Care?

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of World of Wishes, we are honored to welcome Raymond Rodriguez Torres, wish dad, cancer research leader, and Co-Founder and Chairman of Live Like Bella—one of the most impactful pediatric cancer support organizations in the world. Raymond shares the story of his daughter Bella, a Make-A-Wish kid whose life was marked by extraordinary courage, faith, and joy in the face of overwhelming adversity. After early developmental challenges, Bella was diagnosed at just four years old with aggressive rhabdomyosarcoma, cancer that had spread throughout her body and left her suddenly paralyzed. Doctors told Raymond and his family that Bella would never walk again—and that her prognosis was only weeks to months. What followed defied every expectation. Bella fought for six years, regained the ability to walk, run, and jump, and lived with a joy and selflessness far beyond her years. Even as she endured surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, Bella focused on helping others - especially the children she met along the way in the hospital. During her journey, Make-A-Wish granted Bella's wish: a Disney Cruise, where moments of childlike wonder, compassion, and spiritual grace left an indelible impact on their family. From private character experiences to an unforgettable moment of Disney cast members praying together for Bella before her celebration, the wish became a source of joy, strength, and renewal during the darkest days of her battle. After Bella's passing, the words “Live Like Bella” sparked a movement that would reach far beyond one family's grief. Today, Live Like Bella (livelikebella.org) has funded more than $45 million in pediatric cancer research, supports families in 38 countries, provides direct treatment and financial assistance, and ensures dignity for families even in their most painful moments. This conversation is about legacy, faith, service, and the healing power of a wish. It is a reminder that some lives - no matter how short - can change the world forever.Learn more about how can get involved at https://wish.org/sflaBe sure to follow us @makeawishsfla on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and LinkedIn!Subscribe, Rate, & Review this podcast to support future episodes that will feature wish kids and parents' past and present, volunteers, donors, referral sources and everyone who contributes to this World of Wishes!

FreightWaves Today hits the road for a special episode live from ShipStation Global headquarters in Austin, Texas, as Craig Fuller and Zach Strickland break down the latest forces shaping freight, logistics and the broader economy. The show opens with a look at the current freight and economic environment, including rising transportation and warehousing costs, inventory management challenges and the growing gap between truckload and intermodal pricing. Craig and Zach discuss why shippers are becoming more selective with inventory and SKUs, how uncertainty around demand and interest rates is influencing supply chain decisions, and what elevated costs could mean for the remainder of the year. They also dive into the extraordinary investment surrounding AI and data centers. With corporate profits climbing and massive infrastructure projects driving industrial activity, Craig and Zach examine how the AI boom is affecting railroads, construction, manufacturing and blue-collar employment. They also discuss the growing community backlash against hyperscale data centers and why the technology industry's messaging around AI could become an increasingly important part of the conversation. Then, ShipStation Global CEO Tom Madine joins the show to discuss the combination of ShipStation and Worldwide Express and what the newly integrated company is building for shippers. Madine explains how ShipStation Global is bringing together ShipStation's e-commerce shipping technology with Worldwide Express' transportation and freight expertise to create a more unified logistics platform. The goal is to give small and midsized businesses the ability to manage more of their supply chain from a single place instead of jumping between different providers and systems. A major focus is ShipStation's newly launched LTL offering. Madine explains why LTL was one of the most requested additions from ShipStation customers and how integrating freight directly into the platform can simplify inbound inventory movements, middle-mile transportation and other shipping needs that previously required merchants to leave the ShipStation ecosystem. The conversation also explores why transportation decisions can't simply come down to finding the cheapest rate. Service reliability, damage risk, estimated arrival times, carrier selection and the consequences of a failed shipment can all dramatically change what "best" means for an individual shipper. Craig, Zach and Madine discuss how data and intelligence can help businesses make better transportation decisions, particularly for smaller companies that don't have dedicated logistics teams or the resources to constantly monitor freight market cycles. Madine also lays out ShipStation Global's larger vision: bringing parcel, LTL, truckload, final mile and potentially additional transportation modes together into a more unified experience. He explains why simplifying logistics could be especially valuable for entrepreneurs and SMBs already balancing everything from finance and accounting to marketing, inventory and product development. Finally, the conversation turns global. Madine discusses ShipStation's presence across North America, Europe and Australia, the company's hundreds of parcel-carrier API connections and its ambition to become a truly global shipping technology platform. Topics include: • ShipStation Global's new LTL offering • The ShipStation and Worldwide Express combination • Bringing parcel, LTL and truckload together• Freight market cyclicality and SMB shippers • Using data to improve carrier and shipping decisions • Why the lowest freight rate isn't always the best option • Rising transportation and warehousing costs • Inventory management and changing shipper behavior • Truckload versus intermodal economics • AI, data centers and industrial freight demand • Corporate efficiency and the AI investment boom • The growing economic importance of hyperscale data centers • ShipStation Global's international expansion • The future of multimodal shipping technology FreightWaves Today brings together the latest freight market intelligence, transportation news and conversations with the leaders shaping global supply chains.

Three episodes in, you will be willing to die for Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg. No backstory required. No sprawling lore to decode. Just a knight who may not even be a knight, a boy who follows him anyway, and storytelling so elemental it hits like a gut punch. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms works because it does what most B2B content refuses to do: it puts the human at the center, leaves you wanting more, and trusts the oldest storytelling mechanics in the world. In this episode, we dig into what that means for marketers with our special guest Tara Corey, SVP of Marketing at Optimizely. Together, we unpack why the best content finds the friction point in a story rather than avoiding it, why you should be the biographer and not the subject, and what Optimizely's upcoming rebrand taught Tara about bravery and standing out from the B2B sea of sameness. About our guest, Tara Corey Tara Corey is SVP of Marketing at Optimizely, where she leads brand, content, and the company's upcoming rebrand. With over 20 years in marketing, she's known for building editorial-driven content strategies, championing authentic human storytelling, and running toward the hard moments — in her career and her content. She's a passionate believer in community, mentorship, and the idea that bravery isn't optional. What B2B Marketers Can Learn From A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Put the human at the heart of the story — then leave them wanting more. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms doesn't try to tell you everything at once. It earns your investment in two characters and then trusts that investment to carry you through. Tara connects this directly to how B2B content fails: "Creating content has never been easier than it is right now with AI. But creating quality content that truly has that art of storytelling and a truly human-connected story — I think that's harder and harder to stand out and do well." Fewer things, done better, is the whole strategy. Be the biographer, not the subject. Most origin stories are boring because the subject tells them. The interesting version requires someone who knows which parts actually matter. Ian's challenge for B2B marketers: "Volunteer to be the biographer. Don't let someone else tell their own story. Tell their story in a way that you think is interesting." That means getting in person, asking the follow-up questions people skip, and hunting for the moment of friction — the "no kidding, there I was" — where everything shifted. Find the elemental story hiding in your B2B content. Betrayal. Honor. Trust broken and rebuilt. These mechanics work because they've always worked. Ian ties them directly to the world every marketer lives in: "How many of us have been there when it's like, 'You said you were gonna promote me. You said you were gonna do this. Why did you never do it?' — that's so elemental. And yet we just don't put it in B2B marketing, even though it's all around us." The richest stories aren't in the product. They're in the people. Quote"Bravery isn't optional. There's fear, there's excitement — but we've got to be brave, try not to be afraid, and be excited about what's possible. And also try to balance that with the simplicity of a great story and that human connection." — Tara Corey Time Stamps [1:22] Meet Tara Corey, SVP of Marketing at Optimizely [1:40] Why A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?

For decades, the GED has been viewed as a second chance to finish high school. But with employers struggling to find talent and millions of Americans looking for a pathway to better work, that definition is increasingly outdated.More than 21 million people have earned a GED since the program began, with another 150,000+ graduates each year. Many are working adults pursuing the credential for a very practical reason: they want access to a better job, career training or continued education.At the same time, employers in healthcare, manufacturing, energy and the skilled trades are struggling to find talent. GED Testing Service President CT Turner argues those aren't separate challenges. GED graduates represent an enormous, largely overlooked talent pipeline, and earning the credential should be the beginning of the pathway, not the end.In this episode, we talk about today's GED earners, how AI enables personalized learning for individuals from every walk of life, plus new ways employers can get access to this talent pipeline.In this episode:Meet the GED you didn't know (it's not just a symbolic credential!)One of the country's largest potential talent pipelines employers are probably overlookingThe pitfall of employers trying to recruit their way out of persistent workforce shortagesPersonalized learning, outcomes, and the next generation of education technology3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. America doesn't just have a talent shortage. It has a talent access problem.Employers continue competing for the same workforce while a largely overlooked pipeline of GED learners and graduates is ready to move into better careers. CT argues that industries like healthcare need to create new entry points and internal pathways, connecting GED graduates to roles such as phlebotomy or medical assisting that can become the first rung in a much longer career ladder.2. The economic value of a GED comes from the career pathways it opens.Earning the credential expands opportunity, but CT describes it as a “springboard” rather than the destination. GED Career Connect is putting that philosophy into practice by connecting graduates directly to career training, beginning with eight allied health certification pathways and plans to expand into additional industries.3. AI in education should be judged by learner outcomes, not technological novelty.GED learners using its AI tutor are spending twice as much time studying, and learners who previously failed a math test doubled their chances of passing on their next attempt after using the app and tutor. For CT, that's the real promise of AI: using personalization to help more learners persist and succeed, rather than adding another layer of technology that doesn't change the outcome.Resources in this Episode:Learn more about the GEDNational GED Day - September 16thGED Career ConnectFind more resources on the episode page!We want to hear from you!

Send us Fan MailSome prayers are peaceful. Some are honest enough to sound like a fight. Todd sits down with his close friend Lila Willardson for a real conversation about spiritual discipline, hearing the Spirit, and what it looks like to keep turning toward God even when you don't feel confident, energized, or certain. We start with the Old Testament and the reminder it keeps repeating: God consistently works through imperfect people, which means He can work through us too. We dig into the daily habits that actually change a life, including morning scripture study, conference talks, and building a routine that makes it easier to recognize and act on spiritual promptings. Lila shares what it means to put God first through prayer and covenant keeping, and why a covenant is more than a promise. Then we go somewhere many people avoid: frustration, doubt, and the “what if God isn't real?” questions. Instead of treating doubt as failure, we talk about bringing it into the relationship and letting God meet you in it. Joy shows up in a surprising place: service. We explore why helping others can be a steady source of meaning, especially in seasons when you can't name a single “passion.” We also reflect on family, love through hard times, and the kinds of small, quiet choices that shape who we become. Lila closes with a mission insight from Mexico: even brief spiritual moments can create eternal ripples you may never see. If you want practical faith, honest prayer, and a stronger ability to hear and follow personal revelation, press play.

What if the software you use every day was actually designed to make you succeed, not just to make you subscribe? In this episode, Sean Weisbrot sits down with Bryan McAnulty, founder of a platform that has helped more than 10,000 creators turn their knowledge into thriving online businesses. Bryan shares why building in the SaaS space is uniquely challenging, because your customers have to make a deep personal commitment to becoming someone before they ever log in. You will hear how Bryan approaches this by layering education directly into the product experience, helping creators get clear on their offers, build landing pages, and nurture their audiences, all because a more successful customer stays longer. It is a masterclass in building software that earns loyalty by genuinely caring whether the person on the other end actually wins.------------------------------------

It's said that true leadership is servanthood, and the greatest leader of all time was Jesus Christ. Servanthood is an attitude exemplified by Him. It should be the goal of each of us to live out a life like the life of Jesus. On today's program, we will meet a pastor who has lived a life of service beginning very young in ROTC and stretched over 50 years through many phases of life. Today, he serves at a Northern Florida church as a pastor of Community Service, reflecting the servanthood of Jesus.

How to start and grow a small business without investors. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/r361-tyler-king-without-investors/ Bootstrapping a software business without venture capital or angel investors lets you grow on your own terms, and Tyler King, co-founder of Less Annoying CRM, shares how he built a profitable, sustainable SaaS company by staying disciplined, customer-focused, and true to what he actually wanted from the business. Tyler King, co-founder and CEO of Less Annoying CRM, joins the show to share how he bootstrapped a profitable software company. No venture capital, no angel investors, no exit plan, and no rush. He shares what small business owners can learn from building a company on their own terms. For anyone who assumes a software startup requires millions in funding and a race toward an IPO, Tyler's story is a useful counterpoint. He grew a sustainable, profitable SaaS (Software as a Service) business slowly and deliberately, proving that discipline and patience can be advantages rather than limitations. Tyler didn't grow up dreaming of running a business. He was a programmer at a venture-backed startup when the 2008 downturn hit and nearly everyone was laid off. Everyone except the five cheapest employees, which happened to include him. With the bosses gone, he spent a year unofficially playing co-founder, and discovered he loved entrepreneurship. In 2009 he and his brother Bracken started what became Less Annoying CRM. The idea came from real frustration. Tasked with setting up Salesforce at that old job, Tyler (a computer science graduate) spent a month and couldn't make it work. At the time, roughly half of the CRMs companies paid for went unused. So rather than build something with more features, he set out to build something people could actually use. From there, Henry and Tyler dig into the practical realities of bootstrapping: funding the business from savings and side-job cash flow, why banks won't lend to software companies, and how limited money forces healthy discipline. "How much money did we make this month? That's how much money we can spend," Tyler explains. He shares hard-won lessons on shipping a minimum viable product (MVP) fast (his first version was "minimum, debatable whether it was viable"), using intuition over thin data, and building a company that can survive any one person (what he and his team call the "hit by a bus" test) which is the same discipline as building to sell. They also cover his unusual culture choices: separating raises from performance, giving everyone "20% time," and recruiting almost entirely from a pool of interns. Perhaps most striking is how Less Annoying CRM's biggest differentiator - customer service - happened by accident. Tyler put his own phone number on the contact page, and when it rang, the caller was stunned anyone picked up at all. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez.
