Send us a textIn this episode of Imperfect Marketing, host Kendra Corman tackles one of her biggest marketing pet peeves — believing that artificial intelligence can replace truly knowing your audience. With AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini becoming everyday marketing helpers, many professionals are skipping the fundamentals of understanding their customers. Kendra explains why that shortcut leads to bland, ineffective content and what to do instead.The Problem with Skipping the BasicsMany marketers use AI to generate content without doing the essential groundwork of understanding their audience.AI tends to “make you happy” — it tells you what you want to hear, not necessarily what your target market is actually thinking.When you rely solely on AI, you end up with generic, emotionless copy that fails to connect.Understanding Your Audience: The Real Marketing 101Knowing your audience isn't just about demographics — it's about visualizing the person you're talking to.Kendra shares a story about working with a local business that used detailed data to build realistic customer personas—down to shopping habits, lifestyle, and motivations.You don't need expensive software to do this. Start by thinking about your favorite client and what makes them unique.How to Really Learn About Your AudienceSkip the surveys—people edit themselves when writing responses.Have real conversations with your audience instead. Ask questions like:What's keeping you up at night?What frustrates you most about your business or life?What do you wish you had a solution for?These conversations give you the exact words and emotions that resonate with your audience — words you can later feed into AI for far more powerful results.Using AI the Right WayOnce you understand your audience, AI becomes a powerful tool — not a replacement for human connection.AI can help you:Brainstorm ideas and refine your voiceDraft faster and polish existing contentCreate consistent, audience-specific messagingThe difference between “Write me an email” and “Write me an email for this audience, in this voice, about this problem” is night and day.Key Takeaways for MarketersAI isn't the enemy — but it's not magic either.You are the strategist. AI can only amplify what you already know.Know your audience better than anyone else, and your marketing will never sound forced or fake.Whether you're a business owner, marketer, or content creator, this episode will challenge you to return to the roots of great marketing: understanding people.

How long does it really take to feel the benefits of strength training? In this first episode of a two-part series, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher explore the benefits of strength training. They break the question into two parts: the immediate changes you'll feel right away and the longer-term adaptations that build strength, focus, and resilience over time. Expect to walk away with a deeper understanding of how strength training transforms not just your body, but your energy, mindset, and everyday performance. Dr. Fisher starts by explaining the instant and long-term rewards of strength training. The moment you start lifting, your body begins responding with powerful benefits like sharper focus and a better mood. And over time, those sessions compound into stronger muscles, better energy, and a more resilient body. Amy and Dr. Fisher break down one of the body's hidden superpowers: myokines. These small proteins get released during strength training and travel throughout your body, supporting your brain, organs, and overall well-being.  Dr. Fisher highlights how a single strength session can lift your mood and sharpen your mind. Research shows that after finishing a workout, most people feel clearer, calmer, and more alert. It's one of the simplest ways to reset mentally after a stressful day. According to Dr. Fisher, strength training before something big, like an interview or exam, can actually improve memory and focus. Instead of skipping your workout to read, he suggests doing it to help your brain work better under pressure. You walk in feeling grounded, confident, and ready to perform. Amy points out how many people struggle with brain fog and mental fatigue. But just twenty minutes of strength training can bring clarity, focus, and a sense of energy that lasts all day. Dr. Fisher shares how high-effort strength training helps reduce pain perception. It means your body literally becomes more tolerant of discomfort, both physically and mentally. Over time, you don't just get stronger, you feel more capable of handling life's challenges. Dr. Fisher talks about how strength training increases energy expenditure for up to 48 hours afterward and how your body keeps burning calories long after you've left the gym.  He adds that this benefit doesn't happen with regular cardio. Sure, a run burns calories in the moment, but strength training keeps the fire going for two more days.  Dr. Fisher explains that strength training also boosts muscle protein synthesis. That means your body starts repairing and building new muscle tissue long after the workout ends.  By engaging in strength training, you're not just maintaining what you have — you're actively creating a stronger, healthier version of yourself. Dr. Fisher reminds us why consistency matters so much. Every workout is an opportunity for your body to respond, adapt, and grow stronger. Skipping sessions means missing out on the positive signals your body needs to keep performing at its best. Amy encourages you to think twice the next time you feel tempted to skip the gym. That small 20-minute session could be exactly what turns your day around.  Dr. Fisher notes that these benefits don't take months to show up. The body responds immediately, even after a single workout. So if you're waiting to "feel ready," the best time is actually right now. Dr. Fisher shares that working with a strength coach can help you gain the most out of your strength training sessions.  Sometimes it's not about pushing harder, but learning how to train smarter, with the right form, effort, and recovery. Having a personal trainer in your corner keeps you accountable and helps you discover just how strong you really are. Amy says that a personal trainer helps you show up on the days you wouldn't do it alone. And those are the days your body needs it most, when stress is high, energy is low, and your brain could use that endorphin lift. Amy and Dr. Fisher cover how strength training builds confidence. You begin noticing small wins — lifting more, moving better, feeling capable. That quiet confidence often spills over into how you show up at work, home, and in relationships. How to look at exercise differently: strength training teaches discipline, resilience, and patience — qualities that serve far beyond the gym. Every session is a reminder of what your body can do. Amy closes by reminding us that strength training is one of the few things in life that gives immediate returns. For example, you walk in tired and walk out more alive.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

On this week's episode, Brad and Eric sit down and dream of a better world where corporate decisions, budgets, marketing and computing limitations are non-existent. A world where every Warhammer game could be made, even if the user interface is a spreadsheet. A world where the protagonist of a game could be a Drukhari that would make every renegade decision in Mass Effect looks like a paragon decision. A world where modeling an entire planet that doesn't look in the slightest as earth wouldn't blow the budget. A world where fighting games could have good battlepasses. A world where every new model and character wouldn't need to be submitted for approval by Games Workshop. In this world, which games would we like to see realized in the Warhammer Universe?

This week, Granger and AntMan sit down for a Halloween conversation that turns into something much deeper. They start by laughing about neighborhood decorations, haunted houses, and their childhood memories of trick-or-treating — but the discussion soon shifts toward what Halloween really represents and how Christians should think about it today. Granger shares what led him to skip Halloween this year and walks through the history of the holiday, from its ancient Celtic roots to the traditions we see now. He reads from Scripture and talks about how believers can respond to cultural celebrations that seem harmless on the surface but have darker origins underneath. Together, they explore what it means to “abstain from every form of evil” without falling into fear or legalism. The conversation ends with a powerful reminder that following Christ isn’t about rules or appearances — it’s about freedom, discernment, and learning to love what is good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Is Modi Skipping ASEAN Meet at Lankagwi Island Malaysia - of RaGa Fame? | Is There a Threat?

Send us a textTwo things can be true at once: Jaron “Boots” Ennis looked sharp at 154 — and it's still way too early to crown him the heir to Terence Crawford. We open with a reality check on tune-ups, why they exist, and what actually proves greatness when you jump weight. Then we map the route Boots needs—Madrimov, Tszyu, maybe Thurman—so talent meets resistance that talks back. The hype's fine. Skipping steps isn't.Next, we dive into the fight that can light up the fall: Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs Erickson Lubin. We break down Ortiz's pressure and body work against Lubin's patience and clean shots, asking the only question that matters: Can Lubin keep Vergil honest without the kind of thud that stops a freight train? With Ortiz's hand health, Crawford's move toward 160, and a potential Boots showdown looming, this one carries real weight.Then it's heavyweight chaos: Joseph Parker vs Fabio Wardley—a live-betting puzzle pitting Parker's composure against Wardley's raw power. We talk odds, variance, and why discipline is the only cheat code up top. From there, it's the sanctioning-body traffic jam featuring Usyk, Pulev, and Itauma, each caught in mandatory madness.Promotion gets its moment too: Jake Paul's MVP keeps finding crossover gold while Danny Garcia's Brooklyn KO reminds us what real matchmaking means. It's that rare week where business meets boxing—and one clean hook can still steal the show.THE SPAR-INN ON YOUTUBE

“Listening is easy; listening intently is leadership.” “In Japan, trust isn't a KPI — it's earned through presence, patience, and predictable behaviour.” “Leaders here must be gatekeepers of governance and ambassadors for people, culture, and brand.” “Don't copy-paste playbooks; calibrate the boss, context, and cadence.” “Win hearts first, then heads — only then will ideas and decisions truly flow.” Loïc Pecondon-Lacroix is President and Country Holding Officer (CHO) of ABB Japan, responsible for governance, compliance, and the enabling infrastructure that keeps ABB's Japan entities operating within law, regulation, and internal policy. A French national educated primarily in sales, he built his career as a business controller and CFO across local, regional, and global roles, developing a reputation for process discipline and decision support. Before ABB, he spent a decade in the automotive sector, including senior roles at German powerhouse Mahle, where he moved between France, Germany, China, and Japan. His first Japan posting was as a general manager in the automotive industry; his second brought him back to Tokyo, where — after his spouse's executive opportunity catalysed the move — he was recruited in-market by ABB directly into the CHO role.  What makes leadership in Japan unique? Japan is a high-context, consensus-first environment. Leaders must prioritise nemawashi before ringi-sho, invest in psychological safety, and value presence over performative activity. Engagement is not a survey score but an accumulation of trust signalled by consistent behaviour, calibrated communication, and respect for cadence and etiquette. Decision intelligence here blends informal alignment with formal governance so progress sticks rather than bounces.  Why do global executives struggle? Many arrive with “fix it fast” mandates, underestimate uncertainty avoidance, and over-rely on imported playbooks. They communicate problems upward without solutions and fail to “manage the boss” — i.e., calibrate global expectations to local timeframes. Skipping nemawashi, they trigger resistance, burn political capital, and misread engagement metrics that don't map neatly across cultures.  Is Japan truly risk-averse? It's less risk-averse than uncertainty-averse. Leaders can reduce uncertainty with clearer problem framing, milestones, and prototypes, thereby enabling motion without violating safety and quality norms. The practical move is to de-risk through staged decisions, transparent governance, and strong internal controls — an approach especially congruent with ABB's integrity and compliance culture.  What leadership style actually works? Begin with humility and intense listening, then coach. Win hearts before heads, model the behaviours you seek, and make middle managers masters of feedback and retention. Use direct channels (town halls, internal social platforms) to complement cascades. Choose battles, protect cadence, and be explicit about “why this, why now.” Influence beats authority in matrix settings; patience beats bravado.  How can technology help? Internal communities and collaboration platforms create lateral flow so ideas don't stall under middle-management “concrete.” Analytics can enrich decision intelligence by signalling hotspots in retention and development. In ABB's domain, digital twins and automation are metaphors for leadership too: simulate options, align stakeholders, then execute with control plans that keep quality and compliance intact.  Does language proficiency matter? Fluency helps but isn't decisive. Context literacy — reading air, watching body language, knowing relationship histories — often yields more truth than words alone. Leaders can operate in English while respecting Japanese protocols, provided they invest in nemawashi, maintain constancy, and avoid breaking trust with premature declarations or unilateral moves.  What's the ultimate leadership lesson? “Win hearts, then heads.” Authenticity tempered with empathy, disciplined listening, and careful boss-calibration turns culture from obstacle to engine. When people feel safe and seen, they move — applying for stretch roles, sharing ideas, and compounding organisational capability over long cycles.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale sits down with Ben Muscolino, CEO of Breezio, Data Sangria, and co-founder at Vortacity, and Ryan O'Donnell, CTO at Vortacity, to demystify cybersecurity for associations and nonprofits. They explore the evolving threat landscape, the importance of proactive security measures, and how organizations can build a culture of cybersecurity without fear or shame. From phishing-resistant MFA to red team engagements, this conversation is packed with practical advice for leaders and IT professionals alike. Themes and Topics: Cybersecurity Culture and Leadership Cybersecurity must be embraced across the organization, not just by IT. Leaders should foster a “shameless and blameless” environment for open dialogue. Culture impacts how teams respond to threats and education efforts. Phishing and Account Takeover Risks Phishing remains the most common entry point for breaches. Attackers often dwell silently before exploiting access. Social engineering tactics are becoming more sophisticated. Cybersecurity Maturity  Organizations should progress from asset inventory to vulnerability scans, pen tests, and red team engagements. Skipping foundational steps can lead to ineffective or costly security efforts. Tailoring assessments to organizational needs is key. Penetration Testing and Red Teaming Pen tests simulate real-world attacks to expose vulnerabilities. Red team engagements test people, processes, and systems under stealth conditions. Trusted agents within the organization coordinate red team efforts discreetly. Deception Technology and Canary Tokens Canary tokens act as tripwires to detect post-compromise behavior. These tools are low-cost and high-impact for early breach detection. Ideal for organizations with limited cybersecurity resources. Budgeting and Advocacy for Cybersecurity Cybersecurity is often the first to be cut during budget reviews. IT leaders must communicate risk in terms of cost and organizational responsibility. Starting small is better than doing nothing—get from zero to one.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Scott Brown shares his insights on key challenges in the automotive aftermarket, including ADAS, EV maintenance, and industry adoption. ADAS Calibration and LiabilityScott emphasizes the importance of proper ADAS calibration, required by manufacturers after certain repairs. Skipping it exposes shops to liability, and he advises refusing jobs if required calibration is declined. Despite its necessity, the industry adoption is low. EV Tooling and SafetyWhile basic shop tools suffice for many EV services, high-voltage work demands safety training and PPE. Looking ForwardUsing his aviator metaphor of “runway,” Scott stresses that shops must evolve, specializing in ADAS and EV maintenance to stay competitive as EVs become the future of mobility. Scott's insights make one thing clear: the automotive industry is changing fast, and shops that embrace ADAS and EV expertise now will be the ones leading the market tomorrow. Staying informed, trained, and prepared isn't just smart—it's essential for long-term success. Scott Brown, Founder of Diagnostic Network. Scott's previous episodes HERE.

Send me a Text!I'm sharing the story I used to keep to myself—how I hit burnout, gained over 55 pounds, and lost touch with the version of me I truly wanted to be. It wasn't dramatic… it was daily. Skipping meals, snacking during prep, and constantly putting myself last left me physically drained and emotionally discouraged.But the good news? I found my way back—through simple habits, strength training, mindset shifts, and the reminder that you can't give your best to others if you don't take care of yourself first.I'll walk you through the exact changes I made (and still use today), from packing my lunch again to lifting weights every day—and how tracking my wellness became the turning point.If you're feeling tired, frustrated, or stuck, this episode is your reminder: you're not alone, and it's never too late to reset.

AI Assisted Coding: From Deterministic to AI-Driven—The New Paradigm of Software Development, With Markus Hjort In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into the emerging world of AI-assisted coding with Markus Hjort, CTO of Bitmagic. Markus shares his hands-on experience with what's being called "vibe coding" - a paradigm shift where developers work more like technical product owners, guiding AI agents to produce code while focusing on architecture, design patterns, and overall system quality. This conversation explores not just the tools, but the fundamental changes in how we approach software engineering as a team sport. Defining Vibecoding: More Than Just Autocomplete "I'm specifying the features by prompting, using different kinds of agentic tools. And the agent is producing the code. I will check how it works and glance at the code, but I'm a really technical product owner." Vibecoding represents a spectrum of AI-assisted development approaches. Markus positions himself between pure "vibecoding" (where developers don't look at code at all) and traditional coding. He produces about 90% of his code using AI tools, but maintains technical oversight by reviewing architectural patterns and design decisions. The key difference from traditional autocomplete tools is the shift from deterministic programming languages to non-deterministic natural language prompting, which requires an entirely different way of thinking about software development. The Paradigm Shift: When AI Changed Everything "It's a different paradigm! Looking back, it started with autocomplete where Copilot could implement simple functions. But the real change came with agentic coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code." Markus traces his journey through three distinct phases. First came GitHub Copilot's autocomplete features for simple functions - helpful but limited. Next, ChatGPT enabled discussing architectural problems and getting code suggestions for unfamiliar technologies. The breakthrough arrived with agentic tools like Cursor and Claude Code that can autonomously implement entire features. This progression mirrors the historical shift from assembly to high-level languages, but with a crucial difference: the move from deterministic to non-deterministic communication with machines. Where Vibecoding Works Best: Knowing Your Risks "I move between different levels as I go through different tasks. In areas like CSS styling where I'm not very professional, I trust the AI more. But in core architecture where quality matters most, I look more thoroughly." Vibecoding effectiveness varies dramatically by context. Markus applies different levels of scrutiny based on his expertise and the criticality of the code. For frontend work and styling where he has less expertise, he relies more heavily on AI output and visual verification. For backend architecture and core system components, he maintains closer oversight. This risk-aware approach is essential for startup environments where developers must wear multiple hats. The beauty of this flexibility is that AI enables developers to contribute meaningfully across domains while maintaining appropriate caution in critical areas. Teaching Your Tools: Making AI-Assisted Coding Work "You first teach your tool to do the things you value. Setting system prompts with information about patterns you want, testing approaches you prefer, and integration methods you use." Success with AI-assisted coding requires intentional configuration and practice. Key strategies include: System prompts: Configure tools with your preferred patterns, testing approaches, and architectural decisions Context management: Watch context length carefully; when the AI starts making mistakes, reset the conversation Checkpoint discipline: Commit working code frequently to Git - at least every 30 minutes, ideally after every small working feature Dual AI strategy: Use ChatGPT or Claude for architectural discussions, then bring those ideas to coding tools for implementation Iteration limits: Stop and reassess after roughly 5 failed iterations rather than letting AI continue indefinitely Small steps: Split features into minimal increments and commit each piece separately In this segment we refer to the episode with Alan Cyment on AI Assisted Coding, and the Pachinko coding anti-pattern.  Team Dynamics: Bigger Chunks and Faster Coordination "The speed changes a lot of things. If everything goes well, you can produce so much more stuff. So you have to have bigger tasks. Coordination changes - we need bigger chunks because of how much faster coding is." AI-assisted coding fundamentally reshapes team workflows. The dramatic increase in coding speed means developers need larger, more substantial tasks to maintain flow and maximize productivity. Traditional approaches of splitting stories into tiny tasks become counterproductive when implementation speed increases 5-10x. This shift impacts planning, requiring teams to think in terms of complete features rather than granular technical tasks. The coordination challenge becomes managing handoffs and integration points when individuals can ship significant functionality in hours rather than days. The Non-Deterministic Challenge: A New Grammar "When you're moving from low-level language to higher-level language, they are still deterministic. But now with LLMs, it's not deterministic. This changes how we have to think about coding completely." The shift to natural language prompting introduces fundamental uncertainty absent from traditional programming. Unlike the progression from assembly to C to Python - all deterministic - working with LLMs means accepting probabilistic outputs. This requires developers to adopt new mental models: thinking in terms of guidance rather than precise instructions, maintaining checkpoints for rollback, and developing intuition for when AI is "hallucinating" versus producing valid solutions. Some developers struggle with this loss of control, while others find liberation in focusing on what to build rather than how to build it. Code Reviews and Testing: What Changes? "With AI, I spend more time on the actual product doing exploratory testing. The AI is doing the coding, so I can focus on whether it works as intended rather than syntax and patterns." Traditional code review loses relevance when AI generates syntactically correct, pattern-compliant code. The focus shifts to testing actual functionality and user experience. Markus emphasizes: Manual exploratory testing becomes more important as developers can't rely on having written and understood every line Test discipline is critical - AI can write tests that always pass (assert true), so verification is essential Test-first approach helps ensure tests actually verify behavior rather than just existing Periodic test validation: Randomly modify test outputs to verify they fail when they should Loosening review processes to avoid bottlenecks when code generation accelerates dramatically Anti-Patterns and Pitfalls to Avoid Several common mistakes emerge when developers start with AI-assisted coding: Continuing too long: When AI makes 5+ iterations without progress, stop and reset rather than letting it spiral Skipping commits: Without frequent Git checkpoints, recovery from AI mistakes becomes extremely difficult Over-reliance without verification: Trusting AI-generated tests without confirming they actually test something meaningful Ignoring context limits: Continuing to add context until the AI becomes confused and produces poor results Maintaining traditional task sizes: Splitting work too granularly when AI enables completing larger chunks Forgetting exploration: Reading about tools rather than experimenting hands-on with your own projects The Future: Autonomous Agents and Automatic Testing "I hope that these LLMs will become larger context windows and smarter. Tools like Replit are pushing boundaries - they can potentially do automatic testing and verification for you." Markus sees rapid evolution toward more autonomous development agents. Current trends include: Expanded context windows enabling AI to understand entire codebases without manual context curation Automatic testing generation where AI not only writes code but also creates and runs comprehensive test suites Self-verification loops where agents test their own work and iterate without human intervention Design-to-implementation pipelines where UI mockups directly generate working code Agentic tools that can break down complex features autonomously and implement them incrementally The key insight: we're moving from "AI helps me code" to "AI codes while I guide and verify" - a fundamental shift in the developer's role from implementer to architect and quality assurance. Getting Started: Experiment and Learn by Doing "I haven't found a single resource that covers everything. My recommendation is to try Claude Code or Cursor yourself with your own small projects. You don't know the experience until you try it." Rather than pointing to comprehensive guides (which don't yet exist for this rapidly evolving field), Markus advocates hands-on experimentation. Start with personal projects where stakes are low. Try multiple tools to understand their strengths. Build intuition through practice rather than theory. The field changes so rapidly that reading about tools quickly becomes outdated - but developing the mindset and practices for working with AI assistance provides durable value regardless of which specific tools dominate in the future.

Recruiter, podcaster, and process evangelist Darren Saul returns to More Than a Few Words to unpack a painfully relatable story: the one that got away. After weeks of work, multiple interviews, and a seemingly perfect match, Darren's top candidate vanished right after receiving the offer—without so much as a “thanks, but no thanks.” Ouch. But this isn't just a story about recruitment. It's a wake-up call for marketers, sales pros, and anyone who works with humans (aka all of us). Because whether you're filling a role, closing a deal, or pitching a new client, the lessons are the same: assumptions kill deals, and skipping steps in your process will always come back to haunt you. Key Points Even perfect processes can fail if you don't fully qualify the people you're dealing with. Ghosting isn't just rude—it's bad business. Burning bridges happens silently and swiftly. Recruitment and sales are two sides of the same coin: both require curiosity, follow-through, and respect. Process isn't optional. Skipping steps may feel faster, but it will cost you in the long run. Actionable Takeaways Qualify early and thoroughly. Ask the hard questions up front: Are they really ready to make a move? Who else is involved in the decision? Treat recruitment like sales. Whether it's a client, candidate, or customer—if you're not uncovering hidden decision-makers or motivations, you're setting yourself up for a surprise. Build a repeatable process. Ad hoc might get you a few wins, but systems scale success. Stay professional—even when others don't. When someone disappears, take the high road. It pays off in long-term reputation. Track the quiet ones. That candidate who ghosted? He's still in the same job. You dodged a bullet.
